Chapter 67: The Sword
Lao Li stopped when he heard it, knowing that the apprentice still had to say it after all, so he didn't turn to look at him.
Jiang Shinian walked quickly to Lao Li, bowed down and said, "Master, my Yan Department is now in the sky, the territory is vast, and the clan is tens of thousands ......."
Lao Li didn't wait for Jiang Shinian to finish speaking, so he interrupted impatiently: "Talking about people." ”
"If the Yan Department wants to develop, it is necessary to go east," Jiang Shinian said here, secretly glanced at the master who looked like usual, and continued: "There will be a bear on the way east, master, look..."
"If there's anything to see, just lead your troops to attach the bear. Lao Li didn't think deeply about why the apprentice would say that.
Jiang Shinian was silent after hearing this, and only spoke again after a while: "Master, as the patriarch, I will not give the territory I have worked so hard to Youxiong for nothing, even if I agree, the clan will not agree." And why should I go to annex it? There is a bear is not necessarily as strong as my Yanbu, why can't he be a vassal of me?"
Lao Li didn't expect Jiang Shinian to say this, he was stunned for a moment, as if he knew him for the first time, and looked up and down carefully.
Of course, this can't be blamed on Lao Li, after all, he is used to being alone, and he doesn't belong to any sect, and he has never had an apprentice until he collects the fire tree, let alone the idea of opening a sect and becoming the head of the sect. It is precisely because of the different locations that the focus is naturally different, of course, I don't understand why Jiang Shinian thinks like this.
Seeing that the master didn't speak, Jiang Shinian's heart sank slightly, and after stabilizing his mind, he continued: "The apprentice will have a battle with Youxiong in the future, I hope the master will help me." ”
Looking at Jiang Shinian's determined gaze, Lao Li knew that this apprentice was afraid that he had eaten the scales and had an iron heart, and a battle with Youxiong was inevitable.
Lao Li didn't speak, just nodded silently, knowing in his heart what the apprentice meant by helping him, it was nothing more than helping him block Ding Cong. I really can't make up my mind about this matter, so it's better to go back and discuss it with Ding Cong.
Seeing the master nodding, a smile also appeared on Jiang Shinian's face.
............
"Lord Priest, Jiang Shui's Yan Department moved eastward strongly, but for some reason it stopped near Waifang Mountain...... "A middle-aged man with a soft leather armor on his head bowed down in front of Shen Gongke, calmly reporting the movements of the Yan Department.
"How many years?" asked Shen Gongke, a little exhausted.
"Ten years. ”
"Well, it's slower than I expected, it seems that Jiang Shinian has a good heart. Go and tell Chiyou that when the Yanbu and Youxiong go to war, we will help the Yanbu. Shen Gongke's voice lowered significantly, and he seemed to have some difficulty speaking, and then asked, "Has the person I want found it?"
"Back to the priest, the chief said that he had not found a suitable candidate for the time being. The middle-aged man replied respectfully.
"Well, let's go" After saying that, Shen Gongke began to close his eyes and exercise.
Shen Gongke's injuries have never improved over the years, but there is a phenomenon of soul exchange, which makes him frightened, and when he continues to think about the solution, he unexpectedly discovers that the cause of his current situation is actually in the method of reincarnation.
When it comes to reincarnation and the Buddha, it is due to cause and effect, but if he wants to use this method to get rid of cause and effect, how can he not get hurt? However, Shen Gongke is different from others after all, and he has a wide range of knowledge, and after continuous deduction, he found that if the method of reincarnation is improved, he needs to keep reincarnating, and every time he turns again, he must modify part of the method of reincarnation accordingly, so that after the ninth life, he will be completely separated from the cause and effect of the first life, and after the ninth life, it will no longer affect his existence.
However, it is quite difficult to find a suitable carrier, and the Jiuli clan can be said to have used the strength of the whole clan to find a suitable carrier over the years, but unfortunately it has not been successful so far. It is precisely because of this incident that the Jiuli clan's attack on Youxiong has slowed down, which has somewhat relieved Shaodian.
............
Although Shaodian is still in power, many things in the country are handed over to Xuanyuan to manage, and he concentrates on cultivation and does not ask about world affairs. Yanbu's choice to go east at this time can be said to be a good time, but he didn't expect that before he saw the outside mountain, Lao Li appeared in front of Jiang Shinian with a scroll.
The heavy task of learning instantly slowed down the pace of the Yan Department, and this is also something that Youxiong is happy to see. After all, Xuanyuan felt guilty about this half-brother and didn't want to see the scene of the soldiers.
When Ding Cong arranged for Lao Li to deliver the scroll, he didn't expect that the situation between the two sides was gradually tense, he just wanted to follow the traces of history and let Jiang Shinian learn more about medicinal herbs. Unexpectedly, one of his actions actually stabilized the three parties for more than ten years, and what happened during this period inadvertently conformed to the rolling direction of history.
............
The three parties were peaceful for 18 years, during which Shaodian officially passed on the throne when Xuanyuan was 20 years old, and Xuanyuan was subsequently honored as the Yellow Emperor, and the Xiong Kingdom was changed to the Yellow Emperor Tribal Alliance. After Xuanyuan succeeded to the throne, he continued to improve a series of management systems within the alliance, recruited talents for his own use, built cars and dug wells, and began to try to plant various grains and fruits on the basis of collection, and followed the example of the Jiuli people to mine ores and refine tools. For more than ten years, the Yellow Emperor tribal alliance has prospered and strengthened, and he is no longer afraid of the Jiuli tribe.
During this period, Ding Cong went out again and took Shaodian with him, while Wei He acted as a priest and began to shoulder Xuanyuan's cultivation guidance in his spare time.
Xuanyuan was not surprised that Ding Cong took away his father, which was also what Shaodian himself meant, but letting Wei He guide his cultivation made him feel uncomfortable somewhat. It's not that he looks down on Wei He, but he just feels that his cultivation is almost the same as him, and there is no need for him to guide him, although he thinks so in his heart, he is still very respectful when he looks at Wei He. It was precisely because of this little arrogance that he did not consult Wei He in time when he encountered problems in his cultivation, and he almost walked into the demon after forcibly performing the exercises, resulting in a serious illness.
When Ding Cong came back, he was surprised to find that Xuanyuan's breath was abrupt, and he hurriedly asked for the reason. After asking the reason, Ding Cong was furious and reprimanded Wei He fiercely.
Wei He was also wronged, but he also knew that the fault was his own negligence, and the master was already very concerned about Xuanyuan, and now Xuanyuan's situation seems to be fine, but it will affect his future cultivation, and I am afraid that he will not be able to reach the peak in this life.
Later, when Shaodian was mentioned, Ding Cong's answer was not to say, not only Xuanyuan wondered, but even Wei He didn't understand what it meant. Ding Cong didn't say it, others really didn't dare to ask, after all, the high priest in front of them was equivalent to a god-like existence.
After a few more days, Ding Cong called Xuanyuan into his house and took out a piece of black ore from the mustard seed.
Xuanyuan was very surprised, since Ding Cong gave him a loess block, he never gave him anything again, what is it today?
Ding Cong held the ore in his hand, looked at Xuanyuan with a smile, and said gently: "Take the loess block you carry." ”
Xuanyuan took out a fist-sized loess block from the leather pouch behind him and handed it to him, wanting to see what effect this thing that had been worn for decades could do.
Although Xuanyuan didn't ask, Ding Cong knew that he wanted to know what this was for. So I took it and looked at it, and then explained softly: "Don't underestimate this thing, it contains the origin of the earth, I found it with a lot of effort, I wanted to keep it for myself, but I thought that you might have to face some difficulties in the future, and there is nothing to protect yourself and save your life, so I gave it to you." ”
"Over the years, you have been allowed to wear it to match each other, and when you refine the utensils in the future, you will be able to operate them freely. This time I went out and found a piece of dark iron, which can be made into a medium, and then integrated the origin of the earth in your hand into it, tell me, what kind of artifact do you want?"
Looking at the smiling Ding Cong, Xuanyuan couldn't believe what he heard. He had learned the course of the Five Elements when he was a child, and how difficult it was to find the Origin Thing, he didn't know how long he had worn it, but it was really difficult to choose what kind of utensils he wanted to refine.
Although Ding Cong had taught him a lot of things, he always thought that those were all ethereal things, he had never seen them, and it was amazing just to hear about them, and now the high priest actually asked what kind of refining?
Ding Cong looked at Xuanyuan, who was a little worried, smiled softly, and said: "You can choose a thing that suits your heart, I can't say what the specific ability is, after all, it is also the first time for me to refine tools with the object of the origin." ”
Xuanyuan looked at Ding Cong a little speechlessly, and then thought about it seriously before saying, "May I ask the high priest, what does the sword you said look like?"
After hearing this, Ding Cong secretly thought to himself, sure enough! It is rumored that the Xuanyuan clan has an artifact water-avoiding sword, and it seems that it is indeed this.
However, when I thought that the water-avoiding sword was actually refined by myself, I was also very excited in my heart. So his left hand shook and he held a seven-foot long sword in his palm. Now the weak water sword condensed by Ding Cong with his soul power is no different from the real thing, and even if it leaves the palm of his hand, it will not be replaced.
Xuanyuan stared at the long sword in Ding Cong's hand, a hot light appeared in his eyes, and he couldn't help but take a step forward, wanting to reach out and touch the long sword. But before his hand touched the blade of the sword, he was pushed out by a wave of continuous energy. Xuanyuan reacted very quickly, felt that something was wrong and stepped back suddenly, standing dangerously by the wall, just stabilizing his body when he felt a tightness in his chest, and took a few big breaths before slowly calming down.
Seeing Xuanyuan's embarrassed appearance, Ding Cong couldn't help but laugh, shook his head and said, "Have you tasted the bitterness? Your cultivation is too shallow to touch this sword." But your choice is very good, the sword is the king of a hundred soldiers, and it is a balancing act. ”
"The sword is edged on both sides, and the blade is slender and straight. When facing the enemy, one blade is facing the enemy, and the other edge is facing oneself, which embodies the meaning of equal treatment, equality and humility, and the straight body of the sword reflects the upright and impartial conduct. ”
"Of course, you don't understand this now, and when you have your own sword, you can slowly experience the artistic conception. ”。
Xuanyuan looked at the long sword in Ding Cong's hand and was even more envious, and when he thought that he would have a sword soon, his face showed an excited smile, like a child who was about to get his favorite toy.
Ding Congyou asked Xuanyuan to settle down in the alliance first, and then followed him to retreat and refine the sword.
