"In the beginning, my purpose in practicing martial arts and swordsmanship was just to protect myself in a world full of lunatics and ignorance, so as not to be deprived of the right to enjoy the miracle of life by others, in the hope of breaking the mediocrity and repetition of life."
Looking out following Zhao Qing's gaze, he didn't find anything special. Fu Cailin was slightly startled. He was not surprised by her answer and continued:
“While I was thinking about this, I crawled out of the quagmire of hatred for sin and struggle for power, and clearly saw all the ugly and meaningless stupid behaviors that exist among people; looking at how they constitute the dark side of human beings, How to ruin the joy of life.”
"War, a war that destroys countless lives, is what I cannot understand and hate the most... Fu Cailin can't understand that breaking a peaceful and happy situation may have high political significance for ordinary mediocre people, but when it comes to you and me At this level, can’t you still see through the illusion?”
Unsure of how to resist Zhao Qing in terms of force and national military strength, Fu Cailin, who cared about Goguryeo, decisively chose to use verbal arguments and persuasion after encountering her, hoping that the other party would agree with his ideas and put down his hostility towards his country. .
"There is reality in the imaginary, and there is emptiness in the reality. The perspective of looking at things should not be too single. Sometimes you have to change it." Led by Fu Cailin's words to conclude that the war is meaningless, Zhao Qing also only slightly He smiled and replied:
"Master Fu just wants me to stop my strategy of external expansion, at least not to let the country of Korea fall into the flames of war like Yang Guang's three expeditions, with heavy losses in population and wealth, and even the crisis of national subjugation and annihilation."
"Speaking of which, I would like to ask the master a question: What is the relationship between the master and other Goguryeo people? Why must he take risks to stand up for them? Is he not seeing through the illusion in his heart? Or is there another reasonable explanation? Woolen cloth?"
"In other words, what kind of 'benefits' did Goguryeo give you to make you think like this? It can't be without reason."
"Another explanation? What 'benefits' were given?" After hearing Zhao Qing's remarks that seemed to directly deny or even belittle patriotism, Fu Cailin did not get angry like ordinary Goguryeo people, but thought calmly. The meaning of it was quickly understood vaguely.
He and Bixuan were born in the Ashina clan of the Turkic royal family and were revered as saints by the entire Eastern Turks. He relied on the superior martial arts of the clan and communicated with the secret clan in the name of the Turks, and created the "mysterious martial arts" that is quite similar to the secret clan. "Yanyang Dafa", therefore naturally shouldering the important responsibilities of the country and the nation are very different;
Fu Cailin's martial arts were created by his travels around the world and his expertise. He was originally a commoner in Goguryeo. He had no reputation even before Yang Guang attacked Goguryeo. Because he organized his own rebel army to fight against the Sui army and defeated Yang Guang's army one after another, he became famous all over the world. , revered as the spiritual leader and national hero of his country.
The reason why he stepped forward in the face of crisis for his family and country after becoming a master of martial arts and took the initiative to shoulder the heavy burden that should have been solved by the King of Goguryeo was naturally due to his love for the Goguryeo nation and was not mixed with any factors of fame and wealth. The purpose is very pure.
"The sense of belonging and identification with the people of your country due to your bloodline, and the belief that your people have made a significant contribution to social stability, and this environment is subtly conducive to your study of martial arts and the meaning of life, should be The reason why you are willing to pay for the country."
"So, what you want to protect is not the upper-class nobles represented by the King of Korea, but the vast majority of ordinary people in the country who have no power and are like you."
"The Book of Rites and Li Yun says: 'In the course of the Great Dao, the world is for the common good, selecting the worthy and capable, trusting and cultivating harmony. Therefore, people do not only kiss their relatives, nor do they only give birth to their children, so that the old will end well and the strong will be useful. The young will be able to grow up, the young, the widowed, the lonely, the disabled, and the disabled will all be provided for, the men will have their share, and the women will have their own home.'"
""Lü Shi Chun Qiu Noble Duke" also said: "The world is not the world of one person, but the world of everyone. The harmony of yin and yang does not exist in the same category; the dew and seasonal rain do not privately own anything; the Lord of all peoples does not One person.'"
"If there is no concept of 'the world is for the common good', ordinary people other than meat eaters only need to care about their own interests. How can they worry about the country and the people?"
Using advanced concepts, he quickly pointed out Fu Cailin's "patriotic" nature. Zhao Qing's expression was leisurely, his tone was steady and firm, and he naturally exuded a convincing aura. Her eyes are bright and deep, and she seems to be able to see through people's hearts, making it impossible to resist her logic.
"...So what your Majesty means is that Anguo is different from the Sui Dynasty. Even if a large army is sent to 'take over' our Goguryeo, it will not affect the ordinary people in the middle and lower classes?" Fu Cailin was stunned, and a flash of light flashed across his face. There was a trace of confusion, and suddenly I felt that I seemed to have a tendency to be persuaded by the other party.
Knowing the meaning of "the people of the world belong to the people of the world", Fu Cailin finally understood the reason why Zhao Qing, as a martial arts master, "wasted" his time to assume the position of emperor. He also understood the other party's true intention to take the people of the world at heart, and also vaguely realized that A higher realm of life.
Zhao Qing nodded slightly, her tone calm, as if to appease Fu Cailin's doubts: "Actually, for most civilians, Anguo's upcoming military liberation operation is not only harmless, but also beneficial."
"Breaking Goguryeo's long-standing strict hierarchical system will undoubtedly increase the opportunities for ordinary people to rise and increase the vitality of society. The basic living standards will also become better than before with the support of new technologies, and everyone will live and work in peace and contentment..."
They walked slowly in the direction they had just looked at, and Zhao Qing began to explain in detail: "As for the upper-class nobles and officials who voluntarily accepted our military takeover, such as King Jinzhenheung of Silla who recently surrendered to China, the Japanese The descendants of the direct family of the Eastern Han Dynasty who have just recognized their ancestors and returned to their clan, and the Empress Suigu from there, can also retain their original living conditions."
Zhao Qing's words were full of temptation, and her tone was soft, making it impossible to refuse her proposal: "Instead of being a subjugated slave who can only enjoy one or two more years, why not live in a better condition and don't have to worry about the disasters of foreign enemies? How about a rich man who can live a long life with his superb health-preserving techniques?"
There are currently three countries on the Korean peninsula, namely Goryeo, Silla and Baekje. Since Yang Guang's three defeats in Goryeo, the countries on the peninsula have launched volatile and complex struggles among themselves;
Among them, Silla has always been close to China, and its power has continued to expand recently. It has been in constant conflict with Gesuwen, the great chieftain of the area east of Goryeo. Since Fu Cailin, who was regarded as a god throughout the peninsula, did not have much time, after his death, the three kingdoms They will undoubtedly wage war against each other.
And by directly "liberating" the Three Kingdoms through external intervention, the war that would have spread to every inch of land on the peninsula, which Fu Cailin least wanted to see, will undoubtedly not occur, so he no longer has to worry about this. class crisis.
"With the shock of destroying the Eastern and Western Turks in a short period of time, coupled with such favorable conditions, I'm afraid few people will refuse to agree." Fu Cailin looked at Zhao Qing quietly and couldn't help but sigh, feeling the meaning in her words Sincere, I began to believe that she was not deceiving.
As both the top swordsmen in the world, the two have a tacit understanding with each other. Because they have a deep spiritual connection with the sword and have "the same friend", they are naturally closer than those who major in other weapons. You are also better able to understand what the other person means.
After pondering for a moment, the Yijian master who originally planned to persuade Zhao Qing to give up the war finally decided to agree to the conditions of peaceful liberation. After returning home, he would "persuad" King Gao Jianwu of Goryeo to accept the best result at present.
Seeing that Fu Cailin was so "aware" and chose the class he represented rather than stubbornly becoming an enemy, Zhao Qing smiled lightly, stretched out his fingers and pointed forward several times, as if he had broken through a cage that he didn't know when. The canopy is used as a covering film, which instantly changes the scene in front of you.
Just like a stone passing through the water, it stirs up a circle of ripples on the water. The ripples are centered on the point where the stone fell into the water and spread to all sides. In an instant, the whole world began to bend, rotate, wave and vibrate, as if A twisted and dreamy picture unfolded before their eyes.
The originally blue sky seemed to be constantly being kneaded and twisted by a pair of invisible hands. The space seemed to become like a flowing liquid, with everything shaking and rotating in it. The ruins, ruins of battlefields, and wilderness hills were all dissolving. , turned into countless fragments, like grains of sand scattered in the wind.
With the light and shadow jumping around, the environment that seemed to have suddenly collapsed quickly recovered. It looked no different from before, except that on the top of a hill about five miles away, there were three more solemn buildings. The ancient stone hall is the Jingyan Palace, the external entrance to the Temple of War.
The main hall, Yanxiang Hall, is located in the center, with two side halls on the left and right, each connected by a corridor about 20 feet long, like wild goose wings flying out from both sides; the two auxiliary halls are the left Yanxiang Hall and the right Yanxiang Hall. They are all built with some kind of marble-like material.
Although the palace is majestic and majestic, standing majestically under the sunlight, it gives people a feeling of not being out of place, as if water droplets merge into the sea and are embedded in the most natural order of heaven and earth. According to the order of heaven, earth and man, The Tao keeps moving.
Fu Cailin, who had never heard of the rumors about the Temple of War and the Jingyan Palace before, could not help but be shocked when he witnessed this magical scene. Then his eyes lit up with unprecedented brilliance, and he understood what Zhao Qing meant when he said that he had reached enlightenment somewhere. He also knew that his understanding of heaven and earth in the past was still too shallow.
Immediately afterwards, something that shocked Fu Cailin even more happened suddenly in the blink of an eye. The torrent of extremely majestic heaven and earth essence began to gather a few feet away from Zhao Qing, turning into a chaotic essence. The air vortex emitted a dazzling light from within.
In the hazy light, as a large amount of heaven and earth essence condensed, a white skeleton gradually appeared. Every joint was rigorous and perfect, as if it was a work carefully carved by God. The skeleton slowly became transparent, and then began to appear. A faint red light.
Then, eleven dark spirits quickly threw themselves into it. As if the wind was blowing, the muscles on the skeleton began to grow. Silk-like smooth skin gradually covered the bones. As the muscles squirmed, the skeleton began to breathe life. ;
Then there is the flow of blood, which is like bright red streams, rushing happily in the meridians and blood vessels. Every drop of blood is full of vitality, nourishing the muscles and giving the skin a rosy glow.
Finally, there is the formation of organs. The brain, heart, lungs, liver, kidneys and other organs grow one by one. Each has its own unique function, but it perfectly cooperates with each other. Everything was completed in an instant, as if a long development time was compressed into this short moment.
In the center of the vortex, which is filled with chaotic air and cannot be observed by the outside world, floats a girl who looks exactly like Zhao Qing. Her face is soft and delicate, but there is a hint of fierce power, and her hair is like the trajectory of stars in the night sky. , soft and shiny, rolling like water, flowing on the white neck;
When the girl's long eyelashes trembled slightly and she opened her somewhat dazed eyes, everything around her reflected her innate cold temperament. Her eyes, as bright as stars, quickly became deep and shimmering, revealing The light of perseverance and wisdom.
But this is not the end, because a large number of weeds that were also involved in the chaotic vortex were dismembered and transformed into tiny and invisible fiber bundles, and were woven, dyed, and shaped at an astonishing high speed, turning into a simple piece of clothing. And the simple and elegant green robe full of ancient charm is draped on the newborn girl;
Every detail of the robe was handled to perfection, and the luster flowed like water, shimmering with her movements. The hem of the robe flutters in the wind, like flames beating. It seems to be embroidered with dragon and phoenix patterns that symbolize imperial power. The brocade robes and embroidered clothes are layered, but they reveal a somewhat simple charm.
When the chaotic cyclone formed by the convergence of heaven and earth energy outside finally dispersed, and another Zhao Qing appeared with only different clothes, Fu Cailin couldn't help but rub his eyes, and even suspected that he was in an illusion and wanted to take action. The urge to try to crack it, and the shock in my heart was not half less than when I saw Jingyan Palace.
…
At the beginning, he accelerated his practice with the help of battlefield qi. After more than two months, Zhao Qing did not encounter any bottlenecks in the Shenqi stage of practice, and quickly broke through to the second level of "Six Fu-organs Revealing the Spirit". , the body and spirit can finally be stably manifested outside the body.
Referring to the situation where Wen Gao used the twelve body gods to condense the vitality and incarnate, she carefully studied the use of technology similar to "cloning", and after conducting a large number of biological experiments, she created an identical body made of flesh and blood. The method of carrying the body and spirit greatly reduces the impact of rejection of the normal possessed body, allowing it to fully exert its power without gradually weakening due to separation from the body.
As the saying goes, "If you gain the spirit, you will live, if you lose the spirit, you will die. If you gain the spirit, you will live, if you lose the spirit, you will die. The spirit is the brightness of life, the light of life. The spirit is the blowing of the Tao, the spring of movement. The harmony of qi and blood, With Rong Wei Tong, the five internal organs are healthy, the six internal organs are harmonious, the spirit, energy, and heart are at ease, and the soul is complete, that is how a human being is.”
Theoretically, a body with harmonious energy and blood, and a body with smooth flow of spirit and energy, coupled with a body and spirit similar to a soul, is equivalent to creating a person.
Although it is difficult to say whether the effect of this spell is comparable to the one practiced by Wen Gao, it is also difficult to ensure that there are no hidden flaws in it, and the newborn body will only have the power of peak transformation at the beginning. It also requires normal training and promotion, but at present, it seems that this method is very likely to be developed to the point of being perfect and creating another clone.
However, "the brain is the marrow sea, the source of essence, which belongs to water and resides in fire. The brain is Taiyin, which dominates the whole body, governs all the bones, nourishes and nourishes the blood, the yin and yang meet here, the spirit lives here, and the defense and defense rely on it. .”
“All the internal organs are connected to the brain, the five sense organs and the seven orifices are all connected to the brain, and the blood and gas flow around and perfuse into the brain.”
Although the eleven viscera and body spirit have the image of the five movements and six qi, and are both essence, energy and spirit, and are integrated with the body, they are still independent of each other, and the degree of cooperation is limited. Only the brain god who can control the changes of yin and yang can control them.
Obviously, Zhao Qing's current strength cultivation level is not enough to reach the theoretical peak of this method. At least he must add the brain spirit that can be cultivated at the third level of Shenjin to make this clone method As good as it gets.
Of course, for now, a body at the peak of transformation energy plus eleven bodies and souls that are equivalent to the strength of the initial Gang Jin level are superimposed together, passing through the heart, body and soul, which is the second most important thing after the brain. The combat power that can be exerted by command is also considerable.
As early as when he first arrived on the battlefield, Zhao Qing had already sensed the Jingyan Palace that suddenly appeared and was hidden on the hill in a distorted space for unknown reasons. He speculated that there was a high probability that someone did it deliberately, otherwise it would not be such a coincidence. The land appeared here where the war took place not long ago.
While chatting with Fu Cailin, she secretly explored the strange space barrier that enveloped Jingyan Palace and isolated it from the outside world. After clarifying the key points, she broke through its cover with one move and decided to enter Jingyan Palace. check it out.
Considering that the palace was in an abnormal state and did not conform to the interval of thirty years, Zhao Qing was naturally vigilant and used the clone technique that he had just invented, preparing to let the clone with obvious identity go ahead and explore first. To explore the way, he pretended to be another person to observe the situation, which made the means of response much more flexible.
Judging that even if someone was planning it, it would be impossible to hide it from her outside Jingyan Palace and War Temple. With a slight thought, she had already gathered her energy to hide her cultivation, and changed her disguise into the more familiar Shi Qingxuan appearance. Followed behind "Zhao Qing".
As for whether Fu Cailin would reveal the secret after seeing this scene from the side, Zhao Qing said that he "does not trust the people he employs, but does not use the suspects", and has the ability to "connect with others", so there is no need to worry about the other party being stabbed in the back. .
