Xiqi Palace.
"Mr. Guigu! The manuscript I promised back then. After so many years, I have only completed the thirty-two hexagrams."
"That's good. With such a huge foundation in Xiqi, you can still complete the thirty-two hexagrams."
Wang Ming held the bamboo slip in his hand, on which the first thirty-two hexagrams of the "Book of Changes" were engraved.
That is, the bamboo slips are composed of bamboo slips.
The "Book of Changes" is no longer the original version in later generations and has been extensively modified by Confucianism. However, the sixty-four hexagrams are still passed down, and only the words of the hexagrams have been tampered with.
Wang Ming knew the sixty-four hexagrams, but could not give any hint to King Wen Jichang.
I felt the bamboo slips in my hand.
It is now just a relatively refined and high-end mortal bamboo slip, without anything extraordinary about it.
This needs to be completed by Ji Chang before the special characteristics of Qi Shen will be displayed.
While Wang Ming was still checking the bamboo slips.
Suddenly, a master's attendant came to report, and Prime Minister Jiang Ziya asked to see him.
Wang Ming and Ji Chang both wondered what Jiang Ziya was doing here.
Jiang Ziya was invited back to Xiqi by Ji Chang, so naturally he did not immediately raise an army to fight King Zhou. Even if Jiang Ziya was willing, Ji Chang would not allow Jiang Ziya to send troops to the Yin Shang Dynasty.
"See you, Your Majesty!"
Jiang Ziya walked into the hall from the outside wearing a silver luxurious cloak and a golden crown.
His mental appearance at this time was completely different from previous years.
Before, he looked like a shabby old man with good spirits, but now he exudes a sense of nobility and a faint aura of a superior.
"Why is he here?" Jiang Ziya caught a glimpse of Wang Ming, who was standing not far from Ji Chang's starting point. His eyes suddenly froze and he became confused.
During these years in Xiqi, he found that Wang Ming basically stayed in the yard and rarely went out, so his hostility towards Wang Ming gradually dissipated.
"The Prime Minister is here, but is there anything unusual happening at Chaoge?"
No matter what Jiang Ziya was thinking, at this time, he couldn't do anything rude in front of King Awen Jichang and started doing business immediately.
"Yesterday, I saw a side report that King Zhou cut out Bigan's heart and made a soup to cure Daji's illness. Chonghou Hu disrupted the government and acted arbitrarily on the ministers... The people are now in the midst of fire and water, but the king has extended his benevolence and righteousness. If According to my foolish intention, I will attack these rebellious officials first and cut off those who are disrupting the government. Then the emperor will see no slanderers and sycophants for a few days." Jiang Ziya said with a righteous expression on his face.
Wang Ming stood on one side and listened quietly. Jiang Ziya's words, in simple terms, "turn the emperor to his side and punish the treacherous minister Chonghouhu."
The charge given to Chonghou Hu was to supervise the construction of Lutai, which wasted money, wasted money, and harmed the country and the people.
Wang Ming almost lost control of his expression regarding this crime.
Emperor Xin built the Lutai, which was a disaster to the country and the people; Xiqi's extensive construction work to build the Lingtai was to benefit the country and the people.
If Zhou hadn't won in the end, Jiang Ziya would have been scolded by the historian for this excuse.
and,
Xiqi's large-scale construction project not only built a spiritual platform, but also a god-conferring platform.
Wang Ming looked at Jiang Ziya and thought to himself: "Is it because he failed to supervise Lutai in the first place and was now successfully built by Chonghou Hu that he was so embarrassed by targeting Chonghou Hu?"
After hearing Jiang Ziya's suggestion, King Wen Jichang thought for a moment and said, "Chonghou Hu and I are both ministers of the king. It is unreasonable for me to take the initiative to practice Chonghou Hu."
What Ji Chang cares most about is that he must be famous when he is a disciple.
Combining Chanjiao and Xiqi, it means that the big fist is the last word, the winner is the king and the loser is the enemy, and history is written by the winner.
But Ji Chang knew very well that he was playing a game of power.
He has to follow the rules.
You cannot break the rules. Rules are power. If you break the rules, you are breaking the power.
Xiqi is very powerful in this era.
Except for being unable to defeat the Yin Shang, other princely forces can be crushed.
But no matter how powerful Xiqi was, he still couldn't resist the princes from joining forces to beat him.
So he must be famous.
To overthrow Di Xin requires a correct reason, a reason that can be recognized by everyone, and the reason needs to be within the rules.
otherwise,
Even if he overthrew Emperor Xin, he, Xiqi, would not be able to secure the throne.
Just as he rebelled against Emperor Xin, other princes and kings could rebel against him.
For example: when Dong Zhuo and his subordinates committed crimes and deposed the emperor, Cao Cao took a knife and assassinated Dong Zhuo; Cao Cao used the emperor to command the princes, and Sima Yi followed suit; Cao Pi forced Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to abdicate, and Sima Zhao followed suit; the Sima family...
Rules cannot be broken randomly. After breaking, it will be an endless cycle.
"My lord has the yellow ax given to him by the emperor, and he has the right to conquer it. It was originally intended to ban violence and eradicate treachery. It is just the right time to kill traitors like Chonghou Hu." Jiang Ziya immediately added words to dispel King Wen's hesitation.
Ji Chang thought for a while and realized that attacking Chonghou Hu was famous. Firstly, he could spread his reputation, secondly, he could expand his territory, and thirdly, he could weaken King Zhou's power.
King Wen thought for a moment and then said: "The Grand Master is willing to lead the army on Gu's behalf to attack Chonghou Hu?"
"I don't know how to lead troops. I might delay important events." Wang Ming quickly refused.
A look of disappointment flashed across King Wen Jichang's eyes at an imperceptible speed.
Ji Fa has been studying with Wang Ming constantly over the years, and has learned all kinds of knowledge from Wang Ming.
Ji Chang also learned from Ji Fa that Wang Ming was involved in a wide range of fields and was simply an all-rounder.
Political economy, farming and animal husbandry, military strategy, diplomatic lobbying...
Very proficient in all aspects.
Ji Chang finally sighed in his heart: "Hey! After all, I, Xiqi, have nothing to impress him!"
Jiang Ziya, who was standing aside, quickly raised his hands and said, "I am willing to work with the king to serve as a dog and horse."
Immediately,
Ji Chang said to Jiang Ziya: "Gu is worried that the Prime Minister will kill too much here, so it is better for Gu to go with the Prime Minister. If there are any ulterior motives, we can discuss it together."
To put it bluntly, Jiang Ziya is still a little worried.
Jiang Ziya entered Xiqi and had no experience in leading troops.
Jiang Ziya naturally didn't dare to refuse after the boss spoke: "Your Majesty will go to war personally, and the world will respond."
Seeing that they were about to start discussing sending troops, Wang Ming immediately said goodbye to Ji Chang.
Although due to his cultivation, Wang Ming could kill the two people in front of him at any time, Wang Ming did not have the mentality of being aloof and treating people like ants.
Not to mention the loss of luck in killing Ji Chang, the forces behind Jiang Ziya are not easy to deal with.
and,
Wang Ming himself rose from a weak mortal, so naturally he would not discriminate against or look down on mortals.
After practicing for a long time, it is indeed easy to become self-centered and regard all living beings as ants.
For example: Emperor Shitian is a typical example. If you live too long, you will go crazy out of boredom.
Wang Ming's power was obtained by traveling through the heavens and worlds.
Now that I have reached the highest point in one world, I will immediately go to a more advanced world because of the problem of the world limit.
When he arrived at the advanced world, he immediately fell down on the ground and became a child, growing obscenely.
Naturally, there won't be any condescension, being unable to let go of one's figure, or having a self-centered mentality.
········
Revealing a minimalist style courtyard.
Wang Ming lay on the seat, holding a bamboo slip in one hand and reading it carefully.
This bamboo slip is the Book of Changes taken from Ji Chang.
Today's Zhouyi is not complete. Originally, Wang Ming did not want to use it, but when he thought of Ji Chang and Jiang Ziya going to attack Chonghou Hu, he would not have time to continue writing "Zhouyi".
The content on the bamboo slips is very exquisite.
Although incomplete, the content is absolutely useful.
It can be regarded as the most powerful fortune teller's Bible in the world, but unfortunately it is still too simple for Wang Ming.
Because Wang Ming is a gangster, he has not specifically studied the method of deducing heaven's secrets, but his cultivation is here, even if he does not deduce, he can see the fate of many mortals at a glance.
You only need to look at the strength of his luck to understand the blessings and misfortunes of that person's life and death.
but,
That's all.
He came to pick her up and continued to wait.
Wang Ming shook his head and put down the bamboo slip in his hand. Just when he was about to put it down, a familiar yet unfamiliar breath came from his palm.
After being stunned for a moment, he reacted instantly, opened his eyes, and scanned the bamboo slips in his hands a few times.
"It seems that I have underestimated the "Book of Changes". There are only 32 hexagrams, but they have gathered some merit power.
When completed, this book may be used as a magic weapon to suppress luck. It’s no wonder that the Zhou Dynasty could last for eight hundred years. "
Wang Ming speculated that when the "Book of Changes" is completed, it will probably be comparable to the effects of an innate spiritual treasure.
"It's a pity that what I need now is not merit, but understanding of the rules and the direction of the future."
Then,
Wang Ming lay flat on the wooden reclining chair, holding a bamboo slip in one hand, and began to close his eyes and meditate.
After breaking through Daluo Jinxian on his own, he had no follow-up skills to practice. Now he only has three choices.
One is to create his own skills, the other is to give up the path of immortality and practice supernatural energy, and the third is to seek discipleship from a saint in this world.
It is easy to deduce the techniques at low levels, but it is not easy to reach the level of Daluo Jinxian.
In the normal way of immortality, those who practice to the level of Daluo Jinxian focus on understanding the rules of heaven and earth, and at the same time balance their own magic power with the rules of heaven and earth.
Finally, after one's own magic power and major rules have reached a perfect state, he can switch to another skill.
-----"The method of killing three corpses".
Use special means to cut out good corpses, evil corpses, and ego corpses on your body, and use three innate magic weapons to carry the clones.
Beheading one corpse can lead to the early stage of the Saint, beheading two corpses can lead to the mid-stage Saint, and beheading three corpses can lead to the late stage of the Saint.
Finally, by uniting the three corpses with oneself again, one can obtain the position of Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal. Also known as the saint.
Wang Ming is skeptical about "The Method of Killing Three Corpses".
Wang Ming doesn't know how many people this technique has been passed down to, but so far the only one who has successfully practiced it is Daozu Hongjun himself.
The Supreme Saint, Yuanshi Tianzun, and Tongtian Cult Master all gained merits from heaven and earth through establishing religions, and finally achieved the holy status.
Wang Ming is very confident in his own understanding and qualifications, but he has never been arrogant enough to be more powerful than Taishang, Yuanshi, and Tongtian.
The top innate beings like them can't cultivate successfully, let alone an acquired being like Wang Ming?
so,
Wang Ming has been trying to find his own way a long time ago.
In the endless reincarnation of the "Super Beast Armed World", he performed the technique 30,000 times, allowing him to successfully find a direction.
pity,
The reincarnation of that world is so deceptive.
A reincarnation lasts only 7 days.
Although the derivation and experimental exercises in the time cycle can offset the impact of failure on the body, it still takes 7 days to come and go.
Once the deduction is started, the rest will be impossible.
Just like planting a tree, you have found the first step of planting a tree, digging the soil and burying the tree. But if you want to see the subsequent progress, it will take more than 7 days to verify.
Especially after Daluo Jinxian. There has been no movement at all for thousands or ten thousand years of cultivation. What can be accomplished in seven days?
It is precisely because of this that Wang Ming breaks away from the reincarnation of that world and leaves.
Otherwise, it would be a safe place to experiment with techniques.
Wang Ming suddenly woke up on the recliner, sat up suddenly, and then glanced around and found that no one was watching here.
He immediately focused his attention on the bamboo slip in his hand.
"Is there such an operation?" Wang Ming looked at the bamboo slips in surprise.
Just now, after Wang Ming understood the laws of heaven and earth and was fascinated by the deduction techniques, he unconsciously emitted some mana fluctuations.
The magic power quietly entered the bamboo slips in his hands.
Then,
The thirty-two hexagrams of the "Book of Changes" appeared in Wang Ming's mind, and they began to assist Wang Ming in deducing the exercises and understanding the laws of heaven and earth.
its assistance,
Mainly to help avoid mistakes and mistakes.
"It seems that the "Book of Changes" will be my biggest gain in this world." Wang Ming was so happy that he couldn't help but rub the bamboo slips in his hands.
"It turns out they have such an effect. I wonder if I can deduce faster if I get "He Tu" and "Luo Shu"." Wang Ming thought in his mind.
"He Tu" and "Luo Shu" are the roots of the calculation method in this world.
but,
This idea was quickly dismissed by Wang Ming. "He Tu" and "Luo Shu" were still deduced from the law of heaven, and Wang Ming, a gangster, did not dare to use them.
After a short period of excitement, he immediately tried to enter that mysterious and mysterious state again.
result,
After a few minutes, he opened his eyes.
"What's going on? Why can't "Book of Changes" enter that state?" Wang Ming was confused.
I opened the bamboo slips in my hand one by one and checked, but I couldn't get the answer.
Finally, under the observation of the "eye of the sky", I understood the reason.
The exercises deduced from the "Book of Changes" are not completed in a vacuum, they are consumed.
And this consumption is the power of merit attached to the bamboo slips.
"The power of merit!" Wang Ming muttered to himself.
The power of merit is not so easy to live.
Usually people think that by doing good deeds, they can gain merit from heaven and earth. That is a big mistake.
Good and bad, good and evil, are attributes given by humans.
It is not what heaven and earth recognize.
Therefore, there will be situations where saving tens of millions of people will not result in any success, and killing millions of corpses will not compromise even one virtue.
Wang Ming thought about it: "What will definitely gain merits at this time should be: the merits of completing the "Book of Changes". The merits of the change of dynasties in line with the general trend of heaven and earth, and the merits of the return of the gods in heaven."
The list of gods seems to be recruiting lackeys for God Haotian, but in fact it is to complete a missing corner of the puzzle for heaven and earth.
The way of heaven is not perfect and needs God to complete it on your behalf.
