Pupu~~
Thousands of miles above the capital city, a black swallow flapped its wings and hovered.
Although it is an image of a bird, Chen Xixiang’s thoughts are inhabiting and possessing it.
From the time when the four members of the imperial court were discussing at the Six Gates, he had always been possessed by various birds, always watching everyone in the imperial court behind the scenes.
Whether it was Zhu Wuwu or Cao Zhengchun, it was naturally impossible for him to imagine that the phrase "Jane is in the emperor's heart" would be so accurately described in Chen Xixiang.
Whatever they do in the capital, nothing can escape Chen Xixiang's eyes.
After all, this is already an immortal Taoist technique.
"Zhu Wanli wanted to take advantage of Ye Gucheng's Dongfeng's summit in the Forbidden City, and secretly acted as the mastermind behind the scenes..."
Chen Xixiang flapped his wings and hovered over the capital, feeling calm:
"So, Ye Gucheng is not a vulgar person, what is his plan this time?"
If this world is just an ordinary martial arts world.
Maybe it will be as simple as the original plot.
During the decisive battle at the top of the Forbidden City, Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue arranged a stand-in to deceive everyone and attract everyone's attention to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Then he can go to Nan Study alone to assassinate himself.
That was another martial arts time and space, where the Ming Palace guards were really weak, so they could do it so easily.
In this time and space, the palace is guarded by masters such as Dongchang, Xichang, Liumen, Hulong Villa and so on.
Ye Gucheng also wanted to assassinate him directly in front of him alone, which made the difficulty more than ten times higher.
"Either he has a better plan, or he has more party masters than in the original plot, and he can ignore the palace guards..."
what is it then?
According to the original plot in "Before and After the Decisive Battle".
Because the prince of the Nanwang Palace had a similar face to his own emperor, Ye Gucheng wanted to secretly assassinate the emperor and then use the prince of the Nanwang Palace to stage a big conspiracy to overturn the world.
With thoughts in mind, Chen Xixiang found the Nanwang Mansion in the capital after leaving Hulong Villa.
Plop la la~~
The black flying swallow glided over the Nanwang Mansion, searching every house.
"Huh? Crown Prince Nan left the palace half a year ago..."
Chen Xixiang's heart moved, and he immediately showed an indifferent smile on his face:
"No one can be found, and everything is done flawlessly. He is worthy of Ye Gucheng."
If he could meet Ye Gucheng and Nanwang Crown Prince and others in the Nanwang Mansion now to discuss the matter of rebellion, he would look down on Ye Gucheng.
He is now attracting much attention for such a thing as treason, and he dares to go to the imperial palace to conspire with others. If the news leaks out, it will be strange that this person can succeed.
Now it seems.
Ye Gucheng is indeed the Ye Gucheng he knows.
Now that you have a plan, you must be calm and wise, and will not leak any information in advance. Before taking action, not only will you not approach anyone in the royal family again, but you will deliberately stay away to prevent the world from thinking too much.
Prince Nan Wang should have been taken away to another place by him long ago.
There is no one in Prince Nan's Mansion.
Chen Xixiang didn't stay long, spread his wings, turned around and flew towards the imperial city.
…
Phew~
Chen Xixiang exhaled, and the Yin Shen returned to his body.
Ye Gucheng was not found in Nanwang Mansion.
"So I'm quite looking forward to it."
The waves in Chen Xixiang’s heart are spreading:
"How are you going to assassinate me on a full moon night? It would be best if there are more masters gathered around you, just in time to catch them all."
Let's put this aside for now.
He mentally examined his own Qi cultivation.
"With the speed at which my Heaven-Bending Divine Seal can absorb the essence of heaven and earth, in a while, it will be time to prepare to blast the true energy from the Dantian to the meridians throughout the body."
There is only one place for the qi sea in Dantian. Once the reserve is full, it is the limit.
And if you want to increase your cultivation level again, you must continue to open other energy reservoirs in the human body.
After Dantian,
These are the twenty meridians of the whole body, twelve regular meridians and eight extraordinary meridians.
The more meridians that can be opened, the greater the amount of true energy that can be refined into the body.
Chen Xixiang thought of Long Yuan in this world.
In this world, since there are fire unicorns and martial arts myths and Wuming, then naturally there are dragons.
The future Emperor Shitian Ji Qiwu Slayed Dragons, beheaded the dragon that was the head of the four great beasts, and forced out a dragon essence of seven points. No one among them had the ability to swallow more than three dragon essences completely. This is because Its own "container" is not powerful enough.
Therefore, Chen Xixiang still needs to focus on his own cultivation.
Only improving your cultivation level is the foundation of everything.
In the palace.
"In the capital, the earth's veins breed dragon energy. For me, who can refine all things in the world into essence, it is the best place to practice."
Chen Xixiang sat cross-legged, breathing through his mouth and nose, like an old dragon breathing in and out.
Boom~~
Invisible to the naked eye, streams of essence between heaven and earth gather from all directions.
The palace is colorful.
There are all kinds of essences, including subtle grass and tree essences, and wisps of weapons and weapons outside the palace. Even the essence of the magnetic energy radiated by the sun and moonlight between sunrise and sunset has been covered by his Heaven-Building Divine Seal. Refined into a power that can be absorbed.
Mending the sky.
Only by returning all things in the world to their origins and refining them into the source of Yuan Qi that has the same origin as heaven and earth can we make up for the lack of heaven.
Chen Xixiang’s Heaven-Mending Divine Seal is based on this as its core concept.
After the exercise is in operation, the energy of all things can be returned to its origin. Heaven, earth and I are the same, they are all the same energy.
Therefore, I can take the "Yuan Qi" of all things in the world to supplement my "Yuan Qi".
Transform everything into your own use.
Huhuhuhu~~
Outside the Taiyuan Palace, even though the palace maids and guards had heard the emperor's orders and were thousands of feet away, they still felt in their hearts a huge ferocious beast that had been entrenched in the palace for thousands of years when Chen Xixiang was doing his exercises, and they began to Open your mouth to swallow heaven and earth.
Even though they could not see with their naked eyes the natural essence that Chen Xixiang had swallowed and gathered away, they still trembled in their hearts:
"It has been for several months..."
"Your Majesty, what is going on here? Why are you standing here? It gives us a very scary feeling in the palace..."
If the emperor hadn't walked out of the palace calmly every time, they would have suspected that there was some unparalleled evil in the palace that would have swallowed the emperor up long ago.
What they don't know even more is.
This is just a practice under Chen Xixiang's deliberate control, and he only refines energy from what he wants.
If you let go...
Even the guards and maids outside the palace will have all their souls and souls sucked away by him with just one breath!
After all, the "Tian-Mending Divine Chapter" refines all things in the world, extracts energy essence from them, and replenishes itself.
Isn't it true that human beings are also one of all things, flesh and blood, and the energy they contain is no different from the sun, moon, mountains and rivers in Chen Xixiang's eyes.
Fortunately, Chen Xixiang still has a bottom line, and he doesn't just kill people to practice martial arts.
But it was just these few days when Chen Xixiang was practicing.
He suddenly opened his eyes.
"Cao Zhengchun is here."
Sure enough, outside the palace, Cao Zhengchun kowtowed and came in:
"Your Majesty, the swordsmith Yu Yue has been summoned. Do you want to summon him?"
"Xuan come in."
Following the words, the door of Taiyuan Palace opened without any wind.
This scene fell in the eyes of Cao Zhengchun and Yu Yue at the entrance of the palace, and they were both surprised.
"What kind of master is this?"
Regarding the silent opening of the door, Cao Zhengchun secretly thought:
"Could it be that His Majesty secretly recruited some masters to protect him..."
This mysterious strong man made Cao Zhengchun extremely fearful just by opening the door.
Because even he didn't notice the slightest fluctuation of true energy, doesn't this mean that if the other party wants to assassinate him in the dark, it will be easy, and his life is just between the "opening master".
He didn't think of Chen Xixiang at all.
Although they all presented secret books, he had never imagined that the emperor could achieve such a level of cultivation in just two or three months.
And Chen Xixiang is practicing in Taiyuan Palace.
Although there was quite a lot of movement, no news ever spread.
This was naturally the result of Chen Xixiang's Taoist skills. With one move, he clearly understood the intelligence of all the people serving around him and made them "correct their evil ways and return to the right path."
Ta da~
The two people entered Taiyuan Palace.
"The common people pay homage to the emperor in Yue."
After prostrating,
Swordsmith Yu Yue looked up.
Sitting on the dragon chair is a young man in dragon robes. He is taller than ordinary people and has a heroic face.
Especially a pair of eyes, looking up at him, gave him the feeling that he was like an ant on the earth, being watched by the sky and unable to hide.
"This young man is the emperor..."
Yu Yue couldn't help but feel shocked inside.
Since he obtained the Qilin Arm, he has gained a place among the innate masters in the martial arts world.
But unexpectedly, when I stepped here and met the current emperor, I experienced such a terrible sense of invisible oppression for the first time.
"Yu Yue, I want to forge a sword. There is only one requirement for this sword, which is that the sword must have the same texture of flesh and blood as a human being. Can you do it?"
Chen Xixiang's voice was gentle, but it seemed to have powerful magic power, just like a god speaking.
Yu Yue couldn't help but feel shocked, took a deep breath, bowed and said:
"Reporting to the Emperor, the requirement that the sword needs to have human blood texture may require a lot of hard work for other swordsmiths, and the sword needs to be tempered with human blood, but the chances are slim and extremely difficult to achieve."
He rolled up his sleeves in the main hall, revealing a strong left arm embroidered with a unicorn tattoo.
"But for Xiao Min, this matter is actually simple, because Xiao Min once had an adventure, which caused his blood to be naturally hot. If he uses his own blood to temper the sword, there will be more than 80% chance that the hot blood will penetrate into the cold iron and create veins. Forge the sword you requested for the emperor..."
Chen Xixiang looked at Yu Yue's exposed arm, which was tattooed with a vicious fire beast, and his heart turned:
"This is the Qilin Arm. It seems that Bu Jingyun has not returned to Tianxiahui yet."
The wind and cloud were of no use to him for the time being.
Chen Xixiang smiled with satisfaction when he heard that Yu Yue could make a sword made of "blood-patterned steel" with 80% certainty:
"Very good, then I look forward to your work."
Yu Yue bowed down and said "three months" before he could take out the sword and offer it to Chen Xixiang.
In the palace.
Watching Yu Yue being taken away by people from the imperial weapons room.
Cao Zhengchun reported:
"This man once had his parents and sister robbed and beaten to death by Yunling County magistrates. Then he took revenge and killed more than a hundred people in the county magistrate's family, leaving only the magistrate's daughter alive, so the hunter is hunting him down. "
"But although the arresting god arrested this man, he begged the old slave to exonerate him. He said that if Yue Neng succeeds in forging the sword, will your majesty spare this man from the death penalty?"
Cao Zhengchun's tone was final and testing.
Chen Xixiang's eyes were filled with deep thought as he recalled Yu Yue's life and knew that what Cao Zhengchun said was true.
This is a Wusong type of person.
However, Yu Yue is much better than Wu Song.
When he raised his knife to kill the last little girl in his family, he regained his sanity at a critical moment, and then suddenly realized that he regretted it endlessly.
Moreover, he wandered around the world because of the guilt in his heart for this indiscriminate killing of innocent people, so he spent the rest of his life trying to make up for it, using the Kirin Arm to help others out of trouble, hoping to repay his sins.
Compared with Wu Song who killed innocent people indiscriminately in Liangshan, what he did after the grass fell on the mountain was still an outrageous act of robbing homes and houses, which is more forgivable.
But Chen Xixiang slowly spoke:
"If he can successfully forge a sword, we can spare his life, remove his pursuit documents, and let him spend the rest of his life to make up for the original killing."
"According to the order."
Cao Zhengchun was ordered to leave.
Chen Xixiang immediately entered a deeper level of cultivation.
This is also the benefit of his predecessor not going to court for twelve years.
There has never been such a leisurely emperor as him.
Especially after Chen Xixiang used Taoism to overwhelm some people in the palace, he became even more leisurely, and the only thing left was to practice.
…
And on the rivers and lakes.
News coming from the six doors:
The hero Lu Xiaofeng is responsible for distributing tokens to enter the Forbidden City to watch the battle.
This news quickly spread to all the martial arts masters.
As a result, the few handkerchiefs in Lu Xiaofeng's hands were quickly fetched for sky-high prices, even reaching the level of tens to millions of taels of silver per piece.
In a brothel and restaurant somewhere in the capital.
"I said, Lu Xiaoji, you are now the richest man in the world, and yet you still have such a sad face."
Sikong Zhaixing clicked his tongue.
Sitting in this room now are four very famous people in the world:
The hero Lu Xiaofeng, the blind hero Huamanlou, the thief Sikong Zhaixing, and the honest monk.
Lu Xiaofeng had already embraced the wine jar, her face was filled with confusion, and she said drunkenly:
"Now, even if someone uses the most powerful magical skills, the sharpest sword, and the most beautiful woman to exchange ribbons with me, I don't dare to exchange them with anyone easily. I don't dare, I don't dare..."
The honest monk shook his head: "It is indeed a hard job. If it were someone else, I might just deal with it casually."
Hua Manlou looked gentle: "This is why the four famous people are looking for him."
Because Lu Xiaofeng is worthy of everyone's trust.
Anyone can cheat on the ribbon, but only Lu Xiaofeng can't.
He will be the person in the world who takes this matter most seriously.
Because...he has something that most people in the world don't have.
That is, a sense of justice.
He looked at the drunk Lu Xiaofeng and sighed:
"I don't know how many people in the world now want to get the ribbon in his hand and watch the battle..."
The honest monk shook his head and continued:
"But the person with the ribbon is the one who least wants to see this battle."
Several people were talking, and even Sikong Zhaixing's head grew bigger, saying:
"Oh, I don't want to anymore, I can't think of it, I still drink, drink..."
It's all over if you get drunk.
Think about today's things tomorrow.
It's best to leave the troubles to Lu Xiaoji's own thoughts.
Anyway, this guy always has countless ways to solve problems.
Several people got drunk in Zui Chun Tower and then stopped.
Lu Xiaofeng left the next day when the other three didn't wake up.
Come back at noon.
When he came back, he said that the ribbons had been sent out.
The honest monk was surprised and said: "Just half a day's work?"
Lu Xiaofeng said: "It only takes half a day."
Sikong Zhaixing asked, "Have you finished giving them out?"
Lu Xiaofeng said: "It's finished."
Huamanlou couldn’t help but ask: “Who did you send them to?”
Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said: "Send it to everyone I think should be sent it."
No one knows who Lu Xiaofeng's ribbon was sent to.
Just like no one knows where Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue are now.
And Lu Xiaofeng finally got rid of this big trouble.
…………
In the palace.
The warm spring sun turned into a blazing sun.
It's summer time already.
In other words, three months have passed.
In the large cave sword-making room.
Above the hot alchemy furnace, there is a step suspended from the ground.
"Your Majesty, Yu Yue has successfully forged the sword."
Cao Zhengchun followed Chen Xixiang respectfully.
Chen Xixiang, wearing an imperial robe and being blown away by the boundless hot wind, slowly stepped into this place.
As far as the eye can see.
In a large cave that was melted by red fire and even the floor tiles were fiery red, this was the underground sword-making room of the palace.
Rolling hot winds roared through the air.
The smell of lava and saltpeter is like hell.
indoor.
Yu Yue was shirtless. At this moment, there were flames rolling in his eyes, but his tone was filled with uncontrollable joy:
"Your Majesty, the sword you want has been forged by ordinary people!"
He spoke at the same time.
From the alchemy furnace, a shirtless royal swordsmith slowly opened the alchemy furnace.
boom!
A hot wind that was ten times more intense than before hit him like a wave.
"Your Majesty, be careful."
Cao Zhengchun was afraid that the hot wind would burn Chen Xixiang, so he immediately wanted to walk in front of Chen Xixiang.
However, he just opened his mouth.
But he found that the emperor who was there had actually stepped out one step ahead of him, ignoring the hot wind.
"This...emperor...the aura...is..."
Cao Zhengchun was shocked.
Because this was the first time Chen Xixiang showed his cultivation in front of him.
In Chen Xixiang's eyes, there was only a long sword thrust into the alchemy furnace.
The sword body is like water, white and crystal clear.
It was clearly in the furnace, but there were wisps of frost on the sword.
Yu Yue's loud voice echoed in the sword-making room:
"Your Majesty, this sword is made of ten-thousand-year-old cold iron that Cao Min found. It is as cold as ice. Only Cao Min's unicorn blood can melt and forge it. After three months, finally according to the Emperor's request, not only Forging it into a sword, and integrating the Qilin blood of the grassroots into it, forming veins like blood vessels in the human body..."
Under Yu Yue's words.
Chen Xixiang's eyes were like lightning, and his consciousness had already covered the sword.
The moment his spiritual consciousness entered, he felt as if he had returned to his innate twins.
This sword is a sword embryo!
Maybe to others, it is just a magic weapon, but to Chen Xixiang...
It is a magic weapon!
It's a Taoist weapon!
A great killing weapon that can fully unleash the power of his ghostly spirit!
"What a sword!"
Chen Xixiang gave a long drink.
Immediately, air waves billowed beside him, and the ripples in the air roared out like a torrent.
Immediately afterwards.
Under the watchful eyes of Cao Zhengchun and Yu Yue.
Buzzing~~
The Dao Weapon Divine Sword on the alchemy stove was revealed by Chen Xixiang.
Suddenly it trembled.
Woo!
It flew directly into Chen Xixiang's hand from a distance of more than ten feet.
"This is, the sword has spirit, recognize its master?"
Seeing this scene, Cao Zhengchun and Yu Yue's minds buzzed, and strong shock and disbelief arose in their hearts.
"I actually forged such a spiritual and peerless sword!?"
Yu Yue roared in his heart.
Buzz~
Chen Xixiang held the sword in his hand, as if there was nothing in his hand.
Turn around,
The dragon robe dances in the absence of wind.
He pointed his sword at Yu Yue and said with a faint smile:
"Yu Yue, do you dare to use your unicorn arm to try this sword for me?"
