Gu Chensha's "Duke Mansion".
There is a study room in the innermost part, which is very spacious, but the furnishings are very simple, and the furniture is not gorgeous. It is just ordinary hardwood with a layer of red paint on the surface.
The Duke's Mansion shouldn't be so shabby, it was just emptied by the housekeeper, and Gu Chensha didn't go shopping around for a while.
He is practicing martial arts.
According to the theory, in the mansions of rich families, there are secret rooms, which are convenient for practicing kung fu, discussing things without being eavesdropped and disturbed, and also used as a place to store treasures and escape.
A secret room is a must for a big family.
Not here.
It is because the construction of secret rooms is the most expensive, various organs, digging deep into the ground, arranging magic circles, etc., will be several times, even dozens of times more expensive than building the entire mansion.
Gu Chensha knew that in the prince's mansion like Gu Fasha, there was even an ancient array in the secret room, which gathered the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and the essence of the five elements, and used it to cut hair and wash the marrow.
"When I stabilize and gradually accumulate money, I must build a secret room."
He holds the imperial decree in both hands again, which is the decree that canonize him as the Duke of Dust Kingdom. If he feels it carefully, he can perceive from the depths a kind of "qi" that commands the world and changes the fate of people. This is the aura of the son of heaven.
The king is the master of destiny.
Even if it is a poor person, as long as the emperor says a word, that person will rise to the top. This kind of "Qi" that changes fate is already "Qi of the Son of Heaven".
"Emperor Qi" is an extremely mysterious force, which cannot be understood by Gu Chensha's cultivation.
Gu Chensha lives in a small courtyard, eats bad rice, and drinks bitter water. Now that Emperor Tianfu ordered him to live in a spacious mansion with hundreds of servants, his fate has changed.
Now, he wants to sacrifice the aura of the Son of Heaven in the imperial decree to the heavens, and once again obtain the cultivation method of the third form of the sun and the moon with brilliance.
Of course, he only managed to get to the superficial level with the two movements of Sun-Moon Alchemy and Sun-Moon Transformation. Originally, he was greedy for more than he could die, but the holy decree is in hand, and the emperor's spirit in it cannot be wasted.
Losing this edict is a serious crime, and people may attack it, but it doesn't matter, just make a fake one when the time comes, and you won't be able to see it anyway.
boom!
The holy decree burned in his hand, emitting a raging flame.
Among them, the "emperor's spirit" is passed into the heaven-sacrificing talisman.
But this time, there was no image of the third transformation of the sun and the moon, but a change in the Heavenly Sacrifice Talisman.
The edict, which was originally bluish and shining, suddenly disappeared, turning into a bluish light and penetrating into the depths of Gu Chensha's mind. Then he saw a blue light space, about a few acres in size. In the center of the space, there was an altar. The altar was round, simple and desolate, with mottled textures engraved on it, and one could feel the beginning of the primordial chaos. charm.
"Altar? Space."
Gu Chensha was conscious, and he was in the room again.
Then, with another thought, he entered the blue light space again and saw the ancient altar.
"This space and the altar are the body of the heaven-sacrificing talisman? Now it is integrated into the depths of my mind. As long as I want, I can enter it to offer sacrifices at any time." Gu Chensha thought carefully and knew what happened, "Sacrificing to the sky The talisman is an earth-shattering magic weapon, it’s nothing if it’s self-contained, if such a change happens, it won’t be traceable, so that I don’t have to carry it with me all the time, and it’s easy to be discovered.”
The heaven-sacrificing talisman was turned into a space altar, hidden deep in his mind, and no one could find out.
This change made him very satisfied.
The key is that when he encounters danger, he can escape and enter the space of the Heaven Sacrifice Talisman. As long as he moves his mind, people will enter. Of course, if you meet a real master, you will be captured by the aura of martial arts before you even have time to think about it, and you will die without a place to die.
He was thinking about the usage of the Heaven Sacrifice Talisman, when he suddenly felt something in his heart.
"Your martial arts are getting stronger and stronger?"
There are more people in the room out of thin air.
It's Long Yuyun.
"Be careful to be discovered by others. Although I have established a mansion and established a tooth, my every move is under the surveillance of others. The capital hides dragons and crouching tigers. If it is discovered that I am in contact with Longjian Island, there may be accidents." Gu Chensha saw Long Yuyun's body If her shape is erratic, if there is any breath, you know that her poisoning has been completely eliminated, and her martial arts have also recovered.
Even if the Taoists are the first to change, because they can absorb the aura of heaven and earth, they have strong resilience, and they rarely get poisoned and sick. They are not contaminated by human fireworks and filth.
"Don't worry, I have recovered all my strength, and I even took a blindfold to hide my aura." Long Yuyun chuckled: "You underestimate the means of the Dao Realm, and underestimate the hidden strength of my Dragon Sword Island. I know, you hunted in Nanshan a few days ago and won the title of Duke of Dust Country. Besides, that Lou Baiyue actually killed the demonized barbarian general. It seems that even if I fight her head-on, I won't take any advantage .”
"You know all of this?" Gu Chensha was surprised by the strength of Longjian Island.
"Our Dragon Sword Island and Gu Hengsha have been fighting for so many years, and we also have some means. We have arranged secret operations in various dignitaries' mansions. It is not an exaggeration to know some news." Long Yuyun was a little mysterious.
"Why did you come here today?" Gu Chensha asked.
"Of course, in order to congratulate you on opening the mansion, and to discuss important matters by the way, your mansion is dilapidated, and the servants are full of ghosts. Without my help, I am afraid that it will be riddled with holes after half a year. The rectification you just did is actually nothing. What's the use, it's just to scare the snake, governing a big country is like cooking a small fish, and the same is true for governing a family." Long Yuyun looked around, with a playful smile on his face.
"Then replace your person? Isn't it the same?" Gu Chensha's natural way and Long Yuyun wanted to do.
"It's very different. The other princes are trying to harm you, but I'm cooperating with you and helping you. You and I each get what we need." Long Yuyun analyzed the pros and cons, "You have fifty armored soldiers, and you have to rely on them. Recruit yourself, do you dare to use those soldiers from the Ministry of War? And I, Longjian Island, can give you fifty warriors, and even ten martial arts masters, one grandmaster."
The conscription system of the Dayong Dynasty is perfect. There are "military schools" in various places. Anyone who wants to be a soldier can go in and learn for free. As long as he can pass the examination and the martial arts realm has reached the first level of "mortal realm", he can become a soldier.
Before the Tianfu Dynasty, the soldiers were extremely miserable. As the saying goes, "good iron does not nail, and a good man does not serve as a soldier." Almost like a scholar.
Of course, one must also learn to read in the military school, and the assessment includes various military, geography, astronomy, water patterns, climate and so on.
Because of this, there is a saying about warriors.
Soldiers who can cultivate to the point of "entering the hall" are considered "samurai" in the army, and can become ordinary officers, which is equivalent to scholar-bureaucrats.
As for the cultivation to "superior perfection", the assessment to become a "martial arts master", the position can even become a "little general" who supervises hundreds or even thousands of people.
Once he reached the pinnacle and became a master of martial arts, he was a general and could manage tens of thousands of soldiers without any problem.
If the Ministry of War dispatched Gu Chensha, they would be ordinary soldiers, but now Long Yuyun has fifty warriors, how powerful is his background
But thinking about it, Longjian Island is actually equivalent to a country with millions of people, so it's not surprising.
Warriors are the middle force everywhere, and because of this, the tiger wolf pill, which can turn ordinary people into tiger wolf pills, was very popular in ancient times.
A person with a slightly better talent has been trained in various ways since he was a child. He has a lot of fish and meat, and under the guidance of a famous teacher, he will have to study hard for at least ten years before he can become a qualified samurai.
"Well, let's make a deal. Even if the whole mansion is controlled by you, it's better than being controlled by those princes." Gu Chensha thought for a while and immediately agreed.
"Happy." Long Yuyun clapped his palms: "It seems that you are a person who does great things, and immediately weigh the pros and cons. Don't worry, as long as you can gain power in the future, so what if my entire Dragon Sword Island belongs to you? Anyway, the world is already It belongs to the Dayong Dynasty."
Gu Chensha stood up: "That's not necessarily the case. I read history books. The endless land is so vast that even gods can't guess its size. The place where the Dayong Dynasty is located is just a drop in the ocean for the entire endless land. No one can tell, there is a stronger court than Dayong in a place so far away that even gods can't reach it."
"This also makes sense. The mission of the second prince, Gu Xuansha, is to go around to the edge of the country, draw a map, and see if there are any other powerful countries." Long Yuyun said: "Actually, just overseas, in the far west, there are big countries. Wei Dynasty, the strength of the country should not be underestimated, but it is too far away, our Dragon Sword Island has passed, even if it is a strong person with an extremely deep Dao realm, it will take decades to fly thousands of miles a day."
"Traveling thousands of miles a day, flying for decades?" Gu Chensha clicked his tongue: "It's so far away, no wonder there is no envoy from the Dawei Dynasty."
"All the affairs in the mansion can be handed over to Xiao Yizi, and I hope you can train him a lot. By the way, I still have some things for you to ask." Gu Chensha remembered many things.
"What's up?"
"It's a book about the methods of sacrifice in ancient times, such as the emperor's sacrifice to heaven and folk sacrifices to gods."
"You want to sacrifice to the gods?" Long Yuyun frowned: "By the way, you stimulated the blood of the giant spirit gods. Could it be... that you can really communicate with the giant spirit gods? Do you want to sacrifice to the giant spirit gods? This sacrifice is no joke , Once you have communicated with the gods, offering sacrifices equals an exchange, and you will be controlled by the gods, which is very dangerous. Throughout the ages, no matter whether it is offering sacrifices to righteous gods or evil gods, it is not a way of practicing righteousness. If you sacrifice to him, you will have his brand on your body. When he falls, you will also fall, and you will never be able to practice to his realm. For us cultivators, the realm is infinite. Even gods cannot be ours. An impassable mountain, if you believe in God, you will not be able to surpass God."
"That makes sense, it's my generation of cultivators with the strength of character." Gu Chensha suddenly remembered the "Massacre Divine Law" of Emperor Tianfu: "I'm not offering sacrifices to gods, but I just want to understand."
"It's up to you, but currently the most abundant collection of books is the Royal Secret Library. As a Duke, you have the qualifications to enter it to read classics, so don't ask me." Long Yuyun said.
