Being in the fire, this is the only feeling Zhou Yi has now.
Waves of hot sensations continuously erupted from the lower abdomen, and soon turned into hot tributaries that rushed into the meridians in the body. Because of the temperature of the hot flow, it finally caused some faint mist to appear in the meridians.
Although the heat flow caused Zhou Yi some pain, its effect was also very significant. As a trace of light hot mist permeated through the meridians and finally swirled in the body, Zhou Yi could clearly feel that the bones, muscles, etc. in his body suddenly had their own intelligence, and frantically swallowed the floating energy mist in various ways...
The paths of practice of Buddhism and Taoism are different. The highest state of the former is Nirvana; the latter is ascending to heaven in broad daylight. The Buddhists focus on becoming a Buddha right away; the Taoists practice refining essence into qi, refining qi into spirit, refining spirit into emptiness, refining emptiness into Taoism, and viewing themselves as a precious raft to cross the sea of suffering, cultivating the nature and nourishing life, and ascending to heaven in broad daylight!
The Xiantian Qiankun Gong is a traditional Taoist practice that nourishes the heaven and earth, and refines oneself to the Qiankun Mian body, the Vajra True Body, which is the Qiankun Wuji Body that finally achieves the Dao Fruit and ascends to heaven in broad daylight! Although the Jiuxiao Zhenjing belongs to the Taoist sect, its foundation is what Zhang Sanfeng learned from the Shaolin Yijin Jing when he was young. It focuses more on cultivating the mind and nurturing the nature, feeling the vast universe and the infinite things!
This time, after seeing the peerless martial art "Xiantian Qiankun Gong", Zhou Yi practiced the "Nine Heavens Sutra" with reference, and had a sudden realization. He transformed the Nine Heavens Qi into tempering himself, and his skin and bones felt like they were reborn. Although there was no breakthrough in the five-chapter level of Nine Heavens Qi, it was also thicker, as solid as a rock, and difficult to shake, which was completely different from before!
After a long time, Zhou Yi slowly opened his eyes and let out a long breath. If someone looked closely, they would find that Zhou Yi's skin had become as smooth as jade, and the whole person exuded an aura of being reborn!
"Ding! The player combined the "Xiantian Qiankun Gong" (fragmented volume) to create the "Jiuxiao Zhenjing" body protection technique. Please name it?"
"Just call it Jiuxiao's true body!"
Suddenly, a sharp voice came from outside the door, and the eunuch came to summon Zhou Yi: "The emperor has ordered that the guest of the Great Zhou State, Wang Zhe, be summoned to the Zhenguan Hall to meet the emperor."
Zhou Yi replied: "I obey your order!"
The Zhenguan Hall is located in the north of Heaven. It was called the Daye Hall in the Sui Dynasty. Its size is second only to the Wanxiang Shrine. It was one of the inner palaces of Wu Zhao in the imperial palace. Emperor Gaozong died in the Zhenguan Hall that year.
Zhou Yi was led into the palace by the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict, and the gate guard raised his halberd to salute. Passing through the main hall of the Guanfeng Palace, which was as magnificent as the Guanfeng Palace, there was a garden between the front and back palaces, with small bridges, pavilions, fish ponds and flowing water, and beautiful scenery.
As soon as he entered the palace, Zhou Yi's eyes lit up and he stopped and looked forward.
A beautiful woman in official uniform was standing gracefully in the center of the inner hall, looking relaxed and natural, reading the Book of Changes with a smile.
The beauty in front of him was almost as tall as Zhou Yi, and her graceful and slender figure gave her a proud and arrogant demeanor that no one could easily reach. She was not as gorgeous as the Princess Taiping seen at the Taoist conference, but her delicate and picturesque face had a kind of elegant temperament that came from her bones, making people feel that she was an extraordinary woman with both beauty and intelligence.
"How can we be worthy of Lord Shangguan to come and receive us?" A loud and stern voice came from a distance, and two figures, one in blue and one in white, actually walked into the palace one after another. Zhou Yi looked closely and was shocked. The man in blue turned out to be Young Master Xiaoyan
Shangguan Wan'er replied: "How can Wan'er be worthy of the title of a great master? Sir, you are too polite to hold a small banquet! Greetings to Master Song, and Master Qianchuang!" Her voice was soft and graceful, very attractive.
Before Zhou Yi could think carefully about the current situation, Gongzi Xiaoyan waved and walked towards Zhou Yi, saying: "Brother Qianbei, we meet again! What a fate!" Then he pointed at the man in white who had an indifferent temperament and aloofness, and said: "Do you know this man?"
Zhou Yi looked the man up and down and said, "I guess this is Song Wen, the Heaven Sword who defeated my brother Ye Mo?"
Song Wen looked at Zhou Yi and his eyes lit up, saying, "He can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. His reputation is well-deserved!"
"Alright! Alright! The three of you don't need to brag to each other!" Shangguan Wan'er said happily, "Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time. Please follow Wan'er."
The four of them walked without stopping and entered the main gate of the courtyard.
Wu Zhao sat on the dragon chair at the south end of the small hall, with a long table in front of her, on which were piled clan scrolls and memorials, and she looked at the three people with shining eyes. Standing beside her was a tall and thin man, with an indescribable evil spirit on his pale face. It was Senluo Yaksha who was defeated by Zhou Yi's sword that day!
Wu Zhao said happily: "Looking at the four young heroes today, I can't help but recall the days when Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling, Ba Fenghan, and Hou Xibai were roaming the martial arts world. It was really a joy to behold!"
Young Master Xiaoyan said: "I dare not compare myself with the young commander!"
“Don’t underestimate yourself!” Wu Zhao slowly looked at the four people in front of her and said, “Young Marshal and the heir of the Heavenly Sword; the top disciple of the Huajian School; the next generation of the Evil Emperor; Master Zhang… Eh?”
When Wu Zhao looked at Zhou Yi, she was greatly surprised. She stared at him for a long time before she exclaimed, "You are truly a genius of the time. You can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. In just one day, you have been reborn! Wonderful! Wonderful!"
Zhou Yi didn't expect that his breakthrough in skills would not escape Wu Zhao's attention. He said happily, "Your Majesty, you are too kind!"
After a few pleasantries, Song Wen asked, "I wonder why His Majesty summoned the four of us today?"
Wu Zhao's eyes sparkled. After a long while, she took out some documents from her desk, handed them over, and said, "Take a look first!"
Everyone passed the document handed over by Wu Zhao to each other. After reading it, their faces suddenly changed. When Zhou Yi finally took it in his hand, he saw that it was covered with many small characters written in a dense and crooked manner.
Wu Yizong, the general of the Right Jinwu Guard, was the commander-in-chief of the Divine Soldiers' Army and led an army of 200,000 to attack the Khitan again. When Wu Yizong led his troops to Zhaozhou, he learned that thousands of Khitan cavalry were invading. He fled to Xiangzhou without fighting, abandoning a large amount of military supplies and equipment, allowing the Khitan to easily take Zhaozhou.
The successor to King Liang, Wu Youyi, was greedy for merit and reckless, and acted rashly, causing the arriving Great Zhou army to rush forward first. They rashly led their cavalry into the Gorge of Rocks, where they were ambushed on all sides by the Khitan troops. Zhang Xuanyu and Ma Renjie were captured alive by Sun Wanrong with a flying rope, and countless soldiers fell into the valley and died. The entire vanguard was wiped out.
The frontier general Heichi Changzhi was assassinated in Chengdu.
The Turkic Khan Jie Li respected Wu Zun Bi Xuan as the national teacher, the Great Ming Sect respected Xu Kaishan, the Demon General Zhao Deyan and others as the generals, and successively annihilated the Tie Shiwen and Tiele tribes of the Bo Liao Kingdom. Dozens of tribes such as Huihe, Xi, Xi, Xueyantuo and others successively submitted to the Turkic.
... ... ... ... ... .
Zhou Yi slowly closed the document in his hand and looked up at Wu Zhao. He couldn't help but feel as if he was in another world, as if the prosperous and prosperous capital of Luoyang was suddenly shaken by the wind and rain. (To be continued)
