Chapter Seventy-One: Crazy Money Makes Money and Loses the Country
"It's late at night, it's time for us to rest, sister."
Yongyun and Yongrou soon got together with Shi Feng'er, Yongyun was older and was recognized as an older sister, Yongrou and Shi Feng'er were of the same generation, so the three of them began to be called sisters, Ji Fa was of course very happy, seeing these three women get along so harmoniously.
"Hmph, this person should let him sleep by himself at night, hehehe."
Then Yongyun Yong smiled softly, pulled Shi Feng'er and left.
Ji Fa sighed helplessly, thinking, "It's okay, it's okay to sleep by yourself, sleep can be satisfied." ”
So Ji Fa lay on the bed, stretched his waist, and felt a burst of relaxation in his body, and all the fatigue of the last few days was swept away, and there was no trace.
"Oh, it's still comfortable to lie on the bed, cultivation and cultivation can't be wasted, you have to cultivate well, otherwise when I encounter the gods and demons on the god list, I will die, and when the time comes, I will be the first to kill me, at least I have to start protecting myself first." Ji Fa thought to himself.
So he meditated cross-legged, closed his eyes, and began to enter the cultivation space.
【Flood system is being activated】
【Flood Desolate Cultivation Space Successfully Entered】
"Hehehehe, the master has to work hard to cultivate today."
"Okay."
At this time, the real time of Ji Fa's outside world has been locked, and the time that has elapsed in the real time will be determined according to the time when Ji Fa is cultivating inside.
"Hey, hey, hey, it's a very convenient cultivation space, so it will take a long time to practice inside, but from the outside, it doesn't take too much time, so it's great, well... Let's set a time, lest I don't know how long I've been cultivating, and the outside world has undergone earth-shaking changes. ”
Thinking of this, Ji Fa said to Lan Ling: "Lan Ling, you help me set the cultivation time, as soon as the time comes, it will be teleported out directly, just set it to consume two hours in the real world, and then you can see that you can stay in the cultivation space for too long, you can set it yourself." Ji Fa said.
"The good master has already set it up for you, and you can cultivate now."
So Ji Fa immediately began to move, the basic internal strength of the flood wilderness, began to continuously absorb the surrounding aura, began to maintain a certain speed of operation in the body, and then flowed through the thirty-six acupoints, at this time his dantian inside, has stored a lot of golden aura, nearly half of the dantian is about to fill up, he began to absorb the aura, the dantian in the body will automatically start running, and then the blue aura is constantly compressed, and then continue to fill the inside of the dantian.
"Well... With the operation of the basic internal power of the Flood Desolation, I now feel that the speed of absorbing spiritual energy is simply different from before. In the past, the aura was absorbed slowly, and the speed of operation was not fast, but now not only the blue aura is absorbed quickly, but also the speed of operation is also very fast. It's only been a long time, and I've already cultivated the Flood Desolation Foundation Internal Strength to the ninth layer, and I really don't know what I'll do when my cultivation is full. ”
With this doubt, Ji Fa began to absorb the aura, and with the nourishment of the aura, he felt very comfortable all over his body. This kind of comfort is not the comfort of resting or eating, but the feeling of purification that comes from the depths of the heart, from the place of the soul. It is as if the whole body is nourished by the aura of heaven and earth, all the filth has been purified, all the evil things have been suppressed, and the pure feeling in the heart is counted as a ripple at first, and gradually it is more and more of an expanding feeling, the feeling of being clean and unpolluted in the body is getting bigger and bigger and spreading continuously, and at the same time it is constantly flowing, and the body seems to be soaking in the flowing aura spring water.
Suddenly, Ji Fa's consciousness instantly entered another space.
"A new space of consciousness? It's a good place, and it's starting to break off the spiritual power that controls its own aura. ”
"Smack."
Ji Fa felt his head be slapped hard.
"Oh, who? Who hit me? Ji Fa screamed unconsciously.
When I turned around, I found myself in a fantasy world, where the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant, and the ground was all lawn, but there was nothing else, but an old man with crossed legs, sitting there with a fairy wind, opened his eyes and looked at himself, his beard and long hair were all white, and even his sideburns were white.
"What are you doing with good cultivation?" The old man scolded Ji Fa.
Ji Fa was very dissatisfied in his heart, thinking: "Who is this person, who dares to care about me?" I'm the king around me, I haven't heard such a rebuke for a long time, forget it, I'm completely a younger brother in terms of cultivation, let's listen to him, it's best if he is helpful to cultivation, otherwise he will directly smoke it with a big mouth. ”
So Ji Fa felt that he was going to continue cultivating, and after sitting down cross-legged, he was in a hurry, and mobilized the aura of his whole body to start working.
"Smack."
Ji Fa only felt that his head was hit hard again, only to see him open his eyes and look, only to find that it was still the white-bearded old man next to him, only to see him staring at him angrily.
"How do you cultivate, although the heart method is good, but you can't exert half of the effect of cultivating like this." The white-bearded old man rebuked angrily.
"Listen, follow the method I said, and cultivate." Whitebeard began to chatter.
Although Ji Fa was very tired of this white-bearded old man, he felt that the cultivation methods he said were correct, so he did not get angry, but listened to his opinions carefully.
"Maybe what he said is right, I have no one else to teach me to cultivate like this, and there are no books telling me that I should cultivate like this, but I have studied and cultivated like this myself, I'll give it a try."
Ji Fa adhered to the principle of practicality first, so he didn't think about it anymore, but began to follow the old man's teachings and began to absorb the aura between heaven and earth.
"Breathe steadily, maintain a good rhythm, absorb these aura, don't want the low density of aura, especially the aura with high density."
Ji Fa did so, and began to absorb the aura, he found that the absorption of aura, first of all, the operation efficiency of the dantian was greatly improved, and then the absorption of the blue aura, the operation was simply like the speed of God, very smooth, without the slightest obstacle, and very smooth, such as the next to the dantian continued to produce a lot of golden aura, began to fill the dantian, and then the golden aura came more and more, and more was simply stuffed with the entire dantian.
"What should I do if I go so much golden aura and stuff it full?" Ji Fa panicked for a while, this was the first time he had absorbed the aura like this, and then the dantian aura in his body was full.
"Oh? Yudan is coming? That's right, listen to what I said, and gather around it... ”
On the Hall of Virtue, Taigongwang and other ministers came here again, unlike the early dynasty, it was already afternoon at this time.
"What's wrong? Why did you suddenly summon the big guys?" A minister asked in alarm.
"I don't know yet, something big must have happened, otherwise I wouldn't be in such a hurry to gather us all over." The other minister whispered.
"Ministers, the big thing is not good, Shu is partially split into two countries, and Shu was called a vassal state of my Great Zhou before, and it doesn't count now." Taigongwang said anxiously.
"Huh? How can this be, I remember that the lord of Shu didn't personally promise to be willing to reconcile with us for generations? Why did it suddenly change hexagrams? The Minister of Rites asked suspiciously.
"Hey, the lord of Shu has passed away, and there is no successor, his relatives are fighting for power in the palace, part of them control the army, and the other part controls the cities in various places, and now they don't recognize our suzerain, and they start to fight, and now the whole Shu country is in a mess." Taigongwang said regretfully.
"Oh, that's too bad, isn't it?"
The minister was in a state of discussion. "The most terrible thing is that Shu is close to the western border of my Zhou country, once there is a change in the west, the people in the western part of our country will be in danger."
"yes, what can I do?"
"I suggest that troops should be sent immediately to defend the western border of my Zhou country."
"No, no, no, we should first send envoys to the two factions of Shu to see which faction is willing to submit to us and which faction does not accept this etiquette, and then we will make plans." One of the ministers came up with an idea.
"What if neither faction is willing to admit it? Or maybe both factions agree, but they will still go to war, which is not a good idea. Another minister raised his concerns.
Taigongwang touched his beard and listened carefully, but without saying a word, he wrote down all the minister's suggestions, and then read them silently in his heart.
He thought to himself: "This is not good, that is not appropriate, I still need to tell the king, and I will not express my opinions and suggestions for the time being." ”
"Ministers, be quiet." Taigongwang said.
The ministers were still in groups of three or five, or one-on-one discussions with each other, and some of the discussions were very intense, but they did not hurt the peace, they were all trying their best to come up with ideas in the country, and they were constantly planning.
"Tell me, Taigong." All the ministers fell silent, listening to Taigongwang's opinion.
"I have all the suggestions of the ministers in mind, the ministers will go back first, and I will go to report to the king, you should go back first."
"There's Mrs. Lao."
After hearing this, the ministers saluted the Taigong, and then left one after another, discussing the strategy of Shu as they went.
Taigongwang sighed, and then went to find Ji Fa.
In Ji Fa's dormitory, he was cultivating.
Suddenly, Lan Ling's voice sounded in her head. "Master, your father-in-law has come to you, I helped you suspend your cultivation, you should hurry back to reality."
As soon as the words fell, Ji Fa returned to the real world, got off the bed with his eyes open, and sat upright on the bed.
"The king is bothering you, Weichen has an important matter to play." Tai Gongwang's voice soon appeared outside the door.
"Come in, Taigong." As soon as Ji Fa heard that there was something important, he quickly stood up directly.
"Hey, Weichen is offended."
So Taigongwang pushed the door in, bowed his head and came to Ji Fa's side and knelt down.
"The king, the big thing is not good, the lord of Shu died of illness, Shu is in chaos, relatives interfere in politics, divided into two factions, one faction controls the army, the other faction controls the city, and now the war in Shu is raging, and the people of dawn are miserable." Tai Gongwang reported.
Ji Fa's mind instantly had information about the Shu Kingdom, in the area of the junction of present-day Shaanxi and Sichuan. This Shu State is an ancient ethnic group different from the Chinese ethnic group, which was first seen in the oracle bone inscription of the Shang Wuding era. It is a branch of the ancient Qiang people. It arose from the upper reaches of the Min River, and was successively led by the Silkworm Cong Clan, the Bai Guan Clan, the Yu Yu Clan, and the Kaiming Clan.
"This Shu Kingdom also seems to be one of the eight countries of the future pastoral oath. The ancient Shu Kingdom has developed bronze smelting technology and mature gold processing technology, and it is also a country with strong gods and witches. This knowledge instantly popped out of Ji Fa's mind.
"Oh has such a thing."
"Yes, the king, Weichen has just convened all the ministers to discuss, and the results of the discussion are nothing more than these two results, some ministers suggested that they should first communicate and negotiate with the people of the two factions of Shu to see what they mean, and the other part of the ministers suggested that they directly send troops to the western border to guard." Taigongwang reported.
"What do you think, Taigong?" Ji Fa asked while thinking about a good strategy.
Weichen dared to suggest that both of these methods are feasible and unfeasible, and suggested that the king use them first, and take one step at a time. Then use a better method, and then implement the policy of the royal order according to the actual situation of Shu. Tai Gongwang said.
"Not a bad idea." Ji Fa just wanted to say this, but it was not appropriate to think about it.
"If you say this, you can't get the defeat value, you can't say that, I should say it differently."
"This can't be done, the royal order should be in place in one step, and the ministers should not be worried, so it will not be responsible for everyone, and it will not be conducive to the relationship between my Zhou State and Shu Kingdom, so I will go to the Lone King in person."
When Taigongwang heard Ji Fa's words, he was directly stunned.
"The king can't, the king thinks twice."
Taigongwang knelt on the ground directly, and hurriedly said: "King, you must be cautious, you must be cautious, the war in Shu is raging, the current situation is mysterious and unknown, very strange, it is dangerous for you to go in person, Weichen still insists on what he just said, just send an envoy to go, you must not go in person, otherwise you will have to worry about your life, this is not accurate." ”
"How is the Qiang Kingdom? His whole country is divided, doesn't the lone king still personally lead the troops, but also the soldiers of the Qiang country, helping the new generation of the lord of the Qiang country to achieve victory, this does not bring back the tribute of the Qiang country, how can the Shu country just fight between the two factions, and the four factions of the Qiang country are fighting, and the lone king is still all dealt with? ”
