"What does General Deng think I am doing by the lake?"
Deng Jue said: "Perhaps His Highness is practicing martial arts and inhaling the energy of heaven and earth when the new sun first rises?"
Xia Ji shook his head.
Deng Jue said again: "Your Highness is thinking about how to take over the palace and the imperial city?"
Xia Ji still shook his head.
Deng Jue said again: "Your Highness is thinking about how to solve the current turmoil in the imperial city?"
Xia Ji still shook his head.
Deng Jue said: "I don't know, so please give me some advice."
Xia Ji said: "I'm fishing."
After saying that, he held the tea cup with both hands and took another sip of tea.
Deng Jueqi said: "Your Highness obviously has no fishing rod or bait, how can he fish?"
Xia Ji smiled and said: "There is a kind of strange fish in this world that hides under the water and cannot be found. No matter how good a fisherman is at fishing, he cannot find them, just because they hide very deep and run away when they see bait. Only without bait, Only then will you take the bait.”
Deng Jue's face was full of questions: "I am stupid and don't understand what Your Highness means."
Xia Ji took out the tiger talisman from his arms and handed over half of it: "Three days later, the old general will lead the Imperial City Army to leave the imperial capital and go to the northern camp to train troops."
Deng Jue took the tiger talisman inexplicably, with a confused look on his face. He did not understand what His Highness meant.
Xia Ji took a sip of tea, then changed the subject and said, "I want to ask General Deng something."
"Your Highness, please speak."
"In this world, which power is strong and which is weak, can there be a reference or a realm to say?"
Deng Jue was stunned. In the battle a few days ago, His Highness had clearly demonstrated his power at the peak of a warrior, but he didn't know this yet
So, he organized his thoughts, sorted out the relevant information he had obtained for most of his life, and spoke slowly.
"In this world, as long as you practice external or internal skills, you will be considered as a martial artist. If you add a few farming skills and go out to explore the world, you can be called a Jianghu person.
However, unless others know what skills you have practiced and what level you have practiced, no one will know your position. At this time, you need to make a name for yourself in the world. This is not only to confirm what you have learned, but also to Confirm your position in the arena.
There are heaven's list, earth's list and people's list on the rivers and lakes.
The warriors on the list are all recognized elites in the world;
The ground list is for top-notch experts;
Those on the sky list are top-notch experts.
If you want to prove your strength, you must compete.
But there is another kind of person above the three rankings of heaven, earth and man,
They don't make the list,
Just because they have reached the pinnacle of martial arts and resonated with the heaven and earth space, they have created dharma appearances, such as His Highness’s black Buddha dharma, the Shura dharma with three heads and six arms, and the black and white double swords that cut out the flying dragon dharma. All these are unimaginable.
or,
Such people cannot judge who among them is strong and who is weak;
But unless such a person hides in the world, once he is exposed to the world, he will definitely cause a sensation.
After doing several great things, he will be called a legend.
If His Highness' reputation spreads beyond the Northland, it will become a legend. "
Xia Ji took a closer look and found that his inner strength was Nine Yang True Qi, his outer strength was eighteen prison-suppressing powers, Fudo Ming King Body, and even his spirit was Buddhist Zen. Each of them could produce the Dharma, so he was already standing Peak
But this did not make him happy, but he asked: "General, does he know the maximum number of levels of the technique?"
Deng Jue said: "Nine is the ultimate number. The purpose of all exercises stops at nine, so it is the ninth level."
Xia Ji asked: "Is there a tenth level?"
Deng Jue: "Maybe I don't have enough experience, but the theory of the tenth level is unheard of."
Xia Ji was silent for a moment, and then said: "Apart from warriors, what about other powers?"
Deng Jue took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and continued to talk.
“Nine levels of transcendence, the mind transforms into the dharma, the name becomes a legend, and one’s personal limit stops here.
After that, as far as I know, there are military formations, magic weapons, species, etc.
There are some people in this world who have mastered the mysterious formation. They are called Gods of War. Such people have mastered powerful formations. They can turn the power of thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of people into one. With a terrifying blow, no matter who you are in the face of such power, you will perish. However, the Xuanzhen system is very mysterious, and not many people have mastered it. I only saw it once in my early years, and later I was so shocked that I wanted to look for it everywhere. , but there is no way to find him, so he can only leave it alone.
As for magic weapons, it is said that these are objects that can only be refined by people with great wisdom, but most of them are remnants of ancient wars or passed down from ancestors. There are also sayings that the power of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism can refine magic weapons. But I have never seen that these magic weapons often go beyond the scope of martial arts and can play a decisive role in a battle.
As for species, His Highness the Seventh Prince should have seen that abnormal existences such as frost giants, as long as they grow up, can be stronger than most warriors who practice diligently, and their bloodline is comparable to the top techniques of human cultivation. In the legend, there are many strange beings, some of which are insurmountable by humans as long as they grow up. "
Xia Ji asked: "What about the magic weapon and the magic blade?"
Deng Jue said: "There are spiritual germs in the magic weapon, but almost all spiritual germs will not awaken. They will wait for a new master again and again for a long time, but they will hinder the master again and again, and eventually disappear. In the arena.
These magic weapons and magic blades can give the holder some power, but they will also interfere with the holder's thinking. If it is really awakened, I don't know about it. After all, I have never heard of it, but I think it turns into a holder. It may even be more powerful than a magic weapon, but if the holder cannot control it, he will probably die of madness and madness. "
Xia Ji nodded. This information was alone in the deep palace and had never been obtained before. Today, it was told from the bottom of his heart by such an old general. It can be regarded as a preliminary understanding of the world, and at the same time, he also has an understanding of his own power positioning. , even though he knew that his power was at its peak at this level, he couldn't be happy.
Still... not enough!
If you think you are at the top, you are probably just a frog looking at the sky from the bottom of a well.
Perhaps he has not even glimpsed the true tip of the iceberg of this world.
Not only was he not complacent, he even became wary.
Afterwards, the two chatted for a while.
Deng Jue chose to resign.
After returning to the mansion, Deng Jue asked his eldest son Deng Gongjiu to go to the barracks to rectify the soldiers. He paced back and forth in the yard, thinking about what His Highness Seventh Prince said in his mind, but he could not figure out the meaning.
Suddenly, he saw a purple-clothed girl wielding a sword. The sword was powerful and had a lot of force between cuts. After the sword settled down, it would tremble, which showed that she had developed internal strength.
When the girl in purple saw Deng Jue stop practicing, she ran over and called out affectionately: "Grandpa."
Deng Jue looked at the girl's watery eyes and directly asked the doubts in his heart: "Kong Chan, do you know what kind of strange fish there are in this world, they will run away when they see the bait, and they will only take the bait if there is no bait?"
This beautiful girl in purple clothes is Deng Kongchan, the granddaughter of Deng Jue. She is only sixteen now. When she heard her grandfather ask such a strange question, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment and shook her head blankly.
Deng Jue couldn't help laughing. His Highness was seventeen years old after all. How could Kong Chan know such a Zen idea when he was only sixteen
So he no longer asked her, but said directly: "In three days, your father and I will go to the northern camp to train troops. Don't cause trouble at home. Remember to practice my Deng family's sword skills and mental skills diligently."
"Yes, Chan'er knows."
The girl in purple said and ran away to practice again.
Deng Jue looked at her back and thought for a while. Suddenly, an idea flashed through him, and he seemed to have found the answer in his heart.
"There is a kind of strange fish in the world that hides underwater and cannot be found. No matter how good a fisherman is at fishing, he can't find them, just because they hide very deep and run away when they see the bait..." Deng Jue murmured, "Is it possible, Your Highness? Do you feel that there are many invisible enemies hidden in the imperial capital, and these enemies are about to cause chaos? The nearly 100 soldiers who were executed before were caused by these people. But His Highness doesn’t know who these people are, and they have nowhere to use their power. "
He paced back and forth, muttering to himself: "That's why His Highness said, 'Only when there is no bait, will you take the bait.' His Highness allowed himself to lead the army to leave the imperial capital, just to lure those people out as soon as possible, and then catch them all in one fell swoop
But why is Your Highness so anxious? Wouldn't it be best to keep me in the imperial capital to stabilize the situation
As long as I am here, even some clowns need to consider the more than 20,000 elite soldiers I hold in my hands.
This is again unreasonable. "
Deng Jue thought for a while, and suddenly he vaguely understood. Your Highness... I am afraid that what he is looking at is very far away, and his plans are probably huge. When fighting against foreign enemies, he must first settle down inside. He wants to hide the imperial city before the real foreign enemies come. All enemies are cleared.
So... who is this foreign enemy
The word "Emperor" flashed instinctively in Deng Jue's mind.
His breathing suddenly became rapid...
