Only a moment later, Zhao Qing successfully completed the magnetization of a large area of plasma, basically restoring the magnetic field here to its original state. With a single move, he took back the two swords and turned them into bracelets and put them on his wrists. The person fell quickly from the sky.
After falling straight for more than a hundred miles, she reached the bottom of the stratosphere. Below were the annular thunderclouds that had not dissipated before. A heavy rainstorm was pouring towards the ground. Looking from a distance, she could see a flash of lightning illuminating the ground. The sky above seemed a little dark.
Looking at the black crows and thunderclouds stretching for hundreds of miles at the top of the troposphere, Zhao Qing exploded with a white ring of air around him, suddenly slowed down and stopped, and then took out the jade bracelet in his hand to stimulate scattering. Thousands of golden lights came out and swept downwards.
Soon, the upper part of the thundercloud seemed to be torn apart by a giant hand that covered the sky, and turned into a hundred-mile cloud that gradually turned from black to white. The cloudless stratosphere seems to be flashing with mysterious Taoist patterns and precious light, and there are hidden five-color rays of light flowing inside.
Relying on the majestic magnetic field of the divine weapon and the amplified unity of heaven and man, Zhao Qing condensed layers of clouds within a hundred miles, carrying the clouds to the sky, making them suspended in the sky, and quickly formed hundreds of millions of clouds in the clouds. Thousands of ice crystal flakes began to shape the whole.
In an instant, the white haze was like fairy mist, hazy, overflowing from the top of the clouds, ethereal and agile, transforming into countless beautiful and colorful scenes, as if a forest had been built high in the sky. The majestic and ethereal heavenly palace.
Under the illumination of the morning light, thousands of palaces are located on the colorful auspicious clouds, with carved beams and painted buildings, dragons and flying phoenixes. Each palace is a fairy island far away from the world, with clouds and mist, beautiful divine peaks, and green flowers. hanging upside down;
Among the fairy islands and floating islets, cranes, colorful luan, phoenixes and other spiritual birds are flying around, spiritual springs are gushing out, there are spiritual grasses everywhere, strange flowers on the ground, waterfalls and springs, surrounded by five colors, otherworldly and refined, and the outer layer is dyed The golden clouds and mist above are also rolling like the sea, changing various shapes.
Although the immortal shadows in the sky look mysterious and unpredictable, confirming that the ultimate ideal of countless people seeking immortality and visiting the Tao for thousands of years does exist, in fact they are just created by Zhao Qing's manipulation of billions of ice crystals to refract and reflect light. A huge illusion, just do it casually.
Such a large "celestial palace" stretching hundreds of miles into the sea of clouds, because the interior is filled with a structure formed by magnetized particles, can last for at least ten days without dissipating in the stratosphere with stable weather. For those below who see this scene People were shocked beyond belief.
When the scenery of the Immortal Palace was officially formed, the thunderstorm clouds below it that had not been torn apart completely dissipated and turned into moist clouds covering a wider area after Zhao Qing used the power of the magic weapon, turning a heavy rainstorm into a There was a steady drizzle of rain.
He casually tore off a cloud over a hundred feet in size, solidified and compressed its central area, and then temporarily gave it a certain degree of magnetism. Zhao Qing stood gracefully on the cloud and could borrow the buoyancy of the cloud to ride on the cloud. Walking in the mist, one feels like an immortal who has achieved enlightenment and returned to the human world from heaven.
At her level, the principle of soaring into the clouds and riding the mist is actually not very complicated. It is just another change of Xiaoyaozi's method of floating in the air with the help of updrafts, replaced by the visible entity of clouds. In scientific terms, It’s roughly equivalent to piloting an “airship”;
Because it has to drag clouds that are very light on the surface but actually weigh hundreds of thousands of kilograms due to their huge size, their speed is not very outstanding. Under normal circumstances, they can only travel 20,000 to 30,000 miles in a day. Although it looks fairy The air is ethereal, and its practicality is not as good as the other flight method she created to simulate a jet aircraft, "Golden Light Across the Earth."
However, after refining the magic weapon, with the help of its powerful magnetic field and ability to manipulate vitality, Zhao Qing found through a series of calculations that he might not be able to build a special "circuit" in the clouds by creating magnetic ice crystals. , "taming" it, thereby reducing the difficulty of flying in the clouds and flying in the fog, so that ordinary experts with thunder-type skills, and even ordinary people with strong magnets, can try to fly on clouds in short and medium distances.
…
At the same time, half of the square below was illuminated by the light of the sunrise. It was filled with people who had learned that He Shibi appeared at night and Zhao Qing ascended to the sky and disappeared. Although it was early in the morning, the number of people was larger than the previous few days. At most, there are many more, almost filling every square foot of space.
Some of the more powerful people in the city, such as You Chuhong of the Dugu Clan and Li Yuan of the Li Clan, appeared here for the first time and sent many tribesmen and attendants to inquire about the news, hoping to know what happened last night. Will it have a profound impact on the future?
"Everyone, Qingxuan! I wonder if you... did you leave any instructions before her ascension? Is the next generation leader who is about to take over her, the 'Heavenly Sword' Song Que, or someone else?"
"Our 'Duzunbao' Jie family has always been on good terms with the Song clan. I heard that there is a conflict between Buddhism and you, and we are willing to do our best to help resolve it so that the two parties can be reconciled as before and jointly realize the ideal of world peace..."
"Is the big furnace in the center of the square a cauldron for refining elixirs? At least it looks very different from the iron smelting furnaces I have seen... If there are any remaining elixirs, I am willing to buy them for ten thousand taels of gold. One pill!"
"Elixir? Who was talking about it just now? It can't be true! Send someone to find him quickly! Well, if there is a miracle medicine that can cure all diseases, the Dugu clan can come up with three thousand hectares Good land deal..."
"I just said that Buddhism will definitely lose! Confronting a real immortal will ruin your luck for hundreds of years, and you can imagine the fate of the future. On the contrary, Anguo's destiny has been added to his body, and he has refined the ancient rare treasure and the clan jade... …”
"It's all my fault that you advised me not to aim too high and practice hard first, but I didn't have time to become a disciple of the Immortal, which ruined my future... If I could learn the magical power of an Immortal, why would I have trouble traveling in all directions and be proud of the world?"
For a time, the whole square was noisy and full of excited people. They kept asking questions to those who were maintaining order. There were also ascetic monks who believed in immortality and knelt down on the ground, worshiping and praying for the "immortal traces" left behind... …All kinds of things in the world are all interpreted here.
Throughout the ages, there has never been a real case of someone returning to the human world after ascending to immortality. Therefore, after the rumor spread that Zhao Qing general He Shibi refined the supreme elixir and took it to the heaven, everyone present was shocked. Shock was surprised, but basically believed that she would not return to this world.
Those with political sensitivities among them were the first to realize the various subsequent impacts that Anguo, which already had the power to dominate the world, would have after being leaderless, and wanted to seek their own interests in this incident.
As for the news that He's Bi was suspected of being thrown into the furnace for refinement, the loss of this rare treasure is not the focus of everyone's attention. Although it has the implication of the inheritance of imperial power, it is not for the emperor who can truly establish unparalleled achievements. In other words, it is just the icing on the cake.
Just when Song Zhi came out of a pavilion by the square and led two teams of men equipped with black iron flying blade bow knives, preparing to use the sword to give a painful lesson to the dozens of people in the venue who were most likely to cause chaos, suddenly, Some people raised their heads and caught a glimpse of unimaginable changes in the sky.
"Are these fairy islands, palaces and pavilions high in the sky... a scene from the fairy world? Perhaps the one riding on the colorful auspicious clouds is Immortal Zhao Qing? Could it be that she has opened the door from the human world to the heaven? aisle?"
"I have long said that the immortal's cultivation is so mysterious and profound that no one can compare to it in the ages. How come it is necessary to refine the elixir to ascend to the heaven? The reason why she arranged it this way must have a more transcendent effect. …”
"Qiongyu is the celestial fairy's guest land, and Yao Lin is traveling in her dream." Under the spotlight, Zhao Qing was dressed in blue fairy clothes, with an air that seemed to be otherworldly, and the cloud she was riding on was slowly pushed down, and she was far away from the ground. At a hundred feet, a small cloud of mist formed and surrounded the whole body. Along with the colorful rays of light, it flew and landed lightly.
At this moment, there are no words to describe the shock people feel at this moment. Everyone seems to have lost the ability to speak, and no offensive thoughts can be found in their hearts. The original plans of each person have melted away like ice and snow, and turned into a pious return. A convinced heart.
Looking at these people who were completely stunned, Zhao Qing smiled faintly, knowing that the vision of heaven and earth he had created had a huge impact. It was enough to penetrate into the deepest parts of people's hearts and greatly reduce the resistance to the implementation of future decrees. .
As her thoughts flashed, the various machines beside the huge steel furnace were tidied up and cluttered, and the materials inside were sorted and packed. At the same time, the twenty or thirty people in the crowd in the square could vaguely see the foreigners. The man and woman with distinctive features suddenly flew out and then fell to the open space.
These disguised barbarians were actually spies sent by the Eastern and Western Turks, Tiele, Khitan and other countries. They had deep conspiracies hidden in their hearts. At this moment, Zhao Qing found out all of them in an instant, picked them up in the air and threw them to the ground.
Since she had no intention of killing when she struck, one of Bi Xuan's direct disciples, Tuoba Yu, quickly struggled to get up from the pile of shattered floor tiles. She looked down at her feet timidly, not daring to stand before the immortal. Zhao Qing, who is still alive, has other actions in front of him.
Although it was only the first time he saw Zhao Qing take action, as a disciple of the former three great masters "Martial Master" Bi Xuan, he completely lost any belief in fighting her, and he knew very well that the other party did not use any real strength at all. , not necessarily using half of the strength.
Zhao Qing did not have a good attitude towards the hostile Hu tribe who repeatedly invaded the Central Plains and hoped that the world would become more chaotic. This was very different from the Song clan's insistence on Han unification. However, he further believed that the scourge of foreign tribes could be fundamentally eliminated.
The reason why they have not officially taken action to completely suppress the Turks and other countries with extremely strong force is that these countries themselves are in chaos and have limited upper-level control. The collapse of the regime will lead to a large number of refugees hitting the Central Plains, causing unnecessary losses;
Secondly, if she relies on her personal power to achieve suppression, unless she ignores the existing process of ethnic integration in many places and implements a bloody strategy of indiscriminate massacre and genocide, there will always be troubles left over. After she leaves this world, she may still There is a possibility of backlash;
Thirdly, targeting the Turks, the most powerful force on the grassland, and letting the troops trained by Anguo fight against them will not only serve the purpose of training and testing updated weapons, but also give civilians a path to follow. Channels reduce conflicts that would otherwise arise from the alternation of old and new forces.
Of course, if the Hu nationality is willing to surrender unconditionally, after the Central Plains region is semi-industrialized as a whole and its national power is greatly enhanced, it can garrison a large number of troops on the foreign lands. Although they will be administratively autonomous, they must accept the ideological transformation of the Central Plains culture. , only allowing the original culture to be preserved in small areas and museums.
Although looking at the origin of their ancestors, many foreigners are actually descendants of the Yanhuang people. They should not be treated too harshly. They and the Han people in the Central Plains also have feuds and conflicts accumulated from fighting each other. It is difficult to say which side has more control in this regard. reason;
However, considering that the Hu people have developed from eating hair and drinking blood to a civilization that is much more prosperous and advanced now, 99% of it was learned from the Han people, and they did not have the gratitude and repayment they should have for this, so there is no There is no doubt that the Han people’s overall moral and civilizational contributions are much higher.
In fact, being able to accept the garrison sent by the Central Plains, enjoy the benefits of various newly developed technologies, and improve living conditions is a good thing for ordinary herders who make up the vast majority of the population compared to the nobles.
As for these spies who were uncovered, Zhao Qing temporarily gave them an opportunity to spread her foreign policies to their respective countries, allowing the Turks, Khitans and other countries to make appropriate choices.
…
Not long ago, on the outskirts of Daxing City, next to a clear stream, the surrounding environment was extremely beautiful, with secluded valleys and sparse forests, and the faint sound of roaring waterfalls could be heard in the distance. Although the forest blocked the view, one could still imagine that there must be a waterfall there. Beautiful view of Qingtan.
A temporary wooden frame was set up between two larger rocks by the stream, and a fire was lit to roast a few cassava sticks. Ning Daoqi called his apprentice Guiyuan over who was practicing Tuna and asked him to help take care of the condition of the roasted potatoes. With a thought in his heart, he started to teach Liu Ren, and then he was so surprised that he froze on the spot.
Seeing the surprised look on his master's face, Guiyuan's eyes widened. He realized that this calculation had unexpected results and couldn't help but ask:
"This time we are going to Daxing to present the 'Bapu of Sanshou' to senior Zhao Qing who won the competition with Buddhism and the original copy of 'Huang Tian Dafa' that Tianshi Tao asked us to bring, as well as to give her the title of 'Yuanjun', To show our sect’s surrender, could something unexpected happen?”
"Guiyuan, do you know the principles of magic and divination?" Faced with his apprentice's question, Ning Daoqi did not answer directly, but explained the mystery of his hexagrams: "Heaven has its laws, and the earth has its numbers. Despite all the changes, there is still no escape from the hexagrams, hexagrams, qi, yin and yang and the five elements.”
"Time and destiny are like a long river that keeps flowing. Everyone in the world, no matter rich or poor, is drifting with the water at a certain point in this long river, ups and downs, involuntarily, as if they don't know where the future will go. In front of me. The moment passed, and a new moment ushered in.”
I saw half of Ning Daoqi's face facing the sun shining with golden light, while the other half was sunk in the shadow of the bamboo hat. He casually waved his hand to separate the falling rain from the sky, and said with a solemn expression: "However, just that time when he raised the divination, , I discovered that Miss Zhao Qing’s fate had completely disappeared.”
"Before this, when I made predictions about her, although I was always greatly disturbed and often blurred, I never encountered the result that nothing could be calculated. This is more disappointing than all the calculations being wrong. People are shocked, which means that something unprecedented may have happened not long ago.”
"Master, what you mean is that Senior Zhao Qing broke the void and ascended to immortality?" After thinking carefully, Guiyuan suddenly realized and replied: "After passing through the immortal gate and reaching the other shore, of course, you are no longer limited by the five elements, and you have broken through the infinite Destiny is invisible yet omnipresent.”
"If a single move affects the whole body, will a complete change in one person's destiny have a spreading effect that will change the destiny of everyone?"
There was a thought in his mind, and he seemed to have thought of an important point in this matter, and then said: "Perhaps, the gift prepared for her this time needs to be discussed and changed again?"
"Why do you say this? Even if you don't consider Zhao Qing, who has become a saint, I still have to repay the great kindness that the old man did to me. Those in the Taoist sect may feel that they have failed by surrendering unconditionally, but with us What does the relationship between two individual people have?"
Ning Daoqi scolded him dissatisfiedly, then picked up a piece of cassava that had been roasted, folded it into two pieces and gave one to Guiyuan. Just as he was about to take a bite, he saw a colorful flower falling down. Xiangyun then raised his head and gazed at the Immortal Palace of the Divine Palace appearing higher up.
Before he could express his shock, the next moment, in his and Guiyuan's field of vision, a rainbow-colored golden bridge stretched out from the auspicious clouds, and walked straight out of the elegant Zhao Qing, and arrived in front of them in the blink of an eye. He took a piece of cassava off the grill.
"Actually, the levels of skills such as 'Sanshou Bapu' and 'Huangtian Dafa' are of little value to me today. The so-called surrender and honoring of the title in the Taoist sect are based on the situation. Actions are even less worth mentioning.”
"In comparison, it's not as good as the conversation you two had just now involving time and destiny, or offering such an ordinary cassava that can benefit millions of people."
With the help of the power of the magic weapon, Zhao Qing, who used pure mental interference to form a physical illusion in the senses of the two people, moved slightly and noticed the cassava they were grilling. Knowing that this is a high-yielding crop native to the Americas, he casually pointed out The value of this thing.
Different from normal history, great masters and even heaven-level masters with profound cultivation often have the experience of traveling around the world, especially Taoist masters. There are even people who travel around the world and bring back some local knowledge from America and Oceania. Specialties are also common sense.
According to records in Taoist and Buddhist scriptures, these specialties should include a variety of high-value plants such as cassava and rubber. However, since no one has planted them on a large scale yet, we don’t know where they were taken. I want to find their plants. It is quite difficult.
Ning Daoqi dug these cassava from unknown Taoist temples or mountain fields. The yield per acre is much higher than that of sweet potatoes and potatoes. In fact, it is thousands of times more powerful than the illusory gift of a Taoist sect offering a title. A huge gain.
