As we enter April, the temperature is slowly rising.

Qinghe Zhenren stood on the mountain, with a continuous field of wild flowers at his feet, like a colorful carpet spreading into the distance, and the winding official road seemed to be a sharp blade to divide the carpet in two, extending from the end of the mountain to this side.

Behind Qinghe, there were two Dao Tong, both carrying double swords, Dao Tong stood solemnly, his eyes were awe-inspiring, like sharp swords, looking at the end of the official road.

Looking into the distance, Qinghe was slightly in a trance.

Counting, he has not gone down the mountain for more than ten years, and for more than ten years, he has been living in seclusion on the mountain, retreating and cultivating, bent on breaking through the heavenly moat and touching the heavenly gate, however, the breath of the heavenly way is always ethereal, even if he is a strong grandmaster, fifty years ago, he was known as the sharpest swordsman in Huashan, and the genius who is most hopeful of breaking through the moat and breaking through the realm of the great grandmaster.

After more than ten years of retreat, except for the more powerful killing power of the sword, he did not touch the Heavenly Gate, and occasionally came into contact with the breath of the Heavenly Dao, but the breath was ethereal like a light veil in a dream, difficult to grasp.

In those more than ten years, he almost forgot his past and slowly lost himself.

If nothing changes, his spirit will fall little by little in this situation, and eventually fall into the darkness, completely swallowed by the darkness.

However, just as he was about to fall, his mind was pulled by a trace of breath, which was completely different from the sword qi he had, but it was also the breath that he was once extremely familiar with, it was the dragon qi from the Du family's ancestral court and from the great rivers and mountains......

At that time, it was the time when Du Rui confronted the Lord of Deception in the Void, and it was the moment when he pulled the dragon qi to expel the Lord of Deception.

At that moment, the way of heaven shook, there was a change, and the torrent of humanity rolled in.

At that moment, most of the thousands of people were indifferent, and only a very small number of strong people who had been exposed to the breath of the Heavenly Dao would have a sense, and these strong people all had the bloodline of the Du clan.

This is because dragon qi comes from imperial luck.

Qinghe Zhenren is no exception.

Yes, Qinghe Zhenren's real surname is Du, he is a member of the royal family, and he was born in the Tianhou period.

Like Du Rui, his biological mother is just a small palace maid and does not have the support of a strong descendant, while his father is the son of the Queen of Heaven, a former emperor, who was later abolished by the Queen of Heaven and became a prince, a waste who has been a prince for more than 30 years.

Not long after he was born, he was sent to Huashan.

There are not many Du family members who have not yet understood personnel and are sent to Huashan, most of them are members of the royal family who have failed or retired in the political struggle before they become monks, without the slightest exception, these people will enter the Xuanzhen Temple and become the backbone of the Huashan Qi Sect.

Qinghe Zhenren is an exception, he is from Huashan Jianmen.

He is a kendo genius, with a magnificent life, and at the age of forty, he became a strong grandmaster, calling it the genius monster of Huashan who is most likely to become a great grandmaster.

Kendo Grand Master, Kill First!

However, in the following decades, his sword Dao cultivation became more and more profound, but he couldn't touch the Heavenly Gate, and he couldn't grasp the ethereal Heavenly Dao aura. Even, in this retreat, he almost really died and fell completely.

If it weren't for Du Rui stirring up the Heavenly Dao and attracting a torrent of humanity, the dragon qi touched his divine soul and woke him up from his slumber.

At that moment, he not only escaped from Shengtian, but also really touched the breath of heaven, so he also had enlightenment, and found a way in the vast fog, a road of his own.

The path of cultivation is all solitary.

The path of our predecessors can only be used as a reference, not as a copy.

He has his own path, his path is not in Huashan, but in Chang'an, where there is his inner demon, where there is also his chance, where he came from, and where he will return after all.

So, Qinghe Zhenren went down the mountain.

The reason why he stopped by the official road at the foot of Huashan was just waiting for someone.

Before going down the mountain, he had to go to the Xuanzhen Temple.

The Huashan faction and the Tang Empire are closely inseparable, especially the Xuanzhen Temple, which is the same as the family temple of the Du royal family, the big and small things that happened in Chang'an City, the Xuanzhen Temple also has ears and eyes to detect, recently, Emperor Du Zhen's series of actions, Xuanzhen Temple also knows, and even, the emperor was injured and unwell, and he was not able to hide from these bigwigs of Xuanzhen Temple.

They even knew that the person who shot was also surnamed Du.

The scandals of their own family members are also known to their families, the internal strife of the imperial family is extremely sinister, and most of these Taoists who were originally surnamed Du in Xuanzhenguan are victims of political * struggles, so there are almost no people who have mercy on Emperor Du Zhen's suffering, and there are many people who gloat. However, their surname is Du, and although they don't care about Du Zhen, they care about the next emperor.

After all, the luck of the empire is the luck of the Du family.

If the empire falls, the Du clan will definitely not be able to fall well, and the Huashan Xuanzhen Concept will be difficult to sustain.

One is prosperous, and one is lost.

Qinghe Zhenren went out of the customs and prepared to go down the mountain to Chang'an, so he went to Xuanzhen Temple, at this time, he remembered that his surname was Du, and he said goodbye to the head of Huashan, who was also a member of the Du family, and had an interview.

That's why he stopped here.

Xuanzhenguan knew that Emperor Du Zhen summoned Du Rui, the king of Zhao, to return to Beijing, and if Du Rui wanted to return to Beijing, he must pass through Huashan, just like when he left Beijing for Hebei, calculating the time, it should be this time.

The head of the house also asked Qinghe Zhenren to walk with Du Rui.

Qinghe Zhenren is waiting for Du Rui here, in the intelligence, Du Rui and his entourage have already passed the Tong Pass and entered the Guanzhong, after all, it is a light car and a simple follower, and the horse is fast, so it will not take long to arrive here.

Originally, Qinghe Zhenren could refuse the request of the master.

However, he did not do so.

This is because he has doubts in his heart, that is, who will be the one who stirs up the heavenly machine, attracts the dragon qi, and pulls him back from the brink of death by mistake?

This person must be surnamed Du, and he must have the blood of the Du family, otherwise, he will not have induction, but there are so many people with the blood of the Du family, at least tens of thousands of people, who will it be?

He learned some about Du Rui from the boss.

This is a guy who often surprises people!

Maybe it's him?

……

Du Rui, who was being nagged by Qinghe Zhenren, was sitting on the carriage at the moment.

The carriage has a magic circle, light as a feather, and the dragon horse pulling the carriage is similar to an empty horse, so it is not an exaggeration to say that it travels thousands of miles a day with the speed of walking like a fly, and the speed of the knight who guards it is like flying.

Du Rui finally decided to return to Beijing.

When he returned to Beijing this time, he came with ambition.

In that short period of one month, through a series of operations, with the help of the Li family of Zhao County, Du Rui has an excellent reputation among the people of Handan County, not only the wealthy family, not only among the cultivators, but even those ordinary people have not let go, he issued a series of decrees to alleviate the burden of the people, and vigorously crack down on those who regard the people as grass mustard.

The empire does have laws to protect ordinary people, but these laws are just a piece of paper in many places, and for those who are in high positions, they only rely on cultivators, and ordinary people do not play any role, they are just some serfs like ants.

This is not the case with Du Rui.

He mobilized almost all the forces in his hands to vigorously crack down on those cultivators who did not treat ordinary people as human beings, whether these people were prodigal Jianghu guests, or sons and brothers from families, or officials of the yamen and soldiers of the Jingbian Army......

The Zhaojun Li clan didn't understand why Du Rui did this, and they didn't know the reason, but with the support of the patriarch Li Dan, the Zhaojun Li clan fully cooperated with Du Rui's decree, and for a while, Handan County became stable.

Chivalry is forbidden with martial arts!

In Handan, it doesn't work!

Of course, Du Rui has benefited greatly from this.

He almost frayed!

Now, even in the speeding carriage, he is still practicing his luck, and in the sea of knowledge, his spirit turns into a small figure, which becomes clearer and clearer in the spinning dragon balls, constantly changing his posture, as if he is playing a set of punches.

Yes, he is creating his own exercises.

Although, a few months ago, he lost the Wandering Divine Text, and lost the power of those rules, however, those things that were not his own, although it was a pity to lose them, could not be said to be a catastrophe.

On the contrary, at that moment, he touched the Heavenly Dao Breath, came into contact with the Humane Torrent, and for the first time, he truly controlled those dragon qi, understood the use of the dragon qi, and found his own path.

The heavens are in motion, unfathomable!

Being able to find your own path is not an easy task.

Take Qinghe Zhenren as an example, if it weren't for Du Rui, he would probably have been swallowed up by the boundless darkness at this time, and his soul would have been destroyed.

That month, the breath of faith in the world turned into dragon qi and was used by Du Rui, the dragon ball is like a furnace, and those Xinyang breaths are fuel, once they are put into it, they will be used by Du Rui.

Du Rui also consumed a part of the dragon qi and calculated the exercises.

He wanted to break new ground and create his own cultivation method that didn't require too many resources.

You don't need Fu Yu, you don't need a beast core, you don't need a great pill of qi and blood, you don't need a treasure, you just need to settle down your heart, and with the method of breathing and breathing, and with the technique of body guidance, you can attract the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the body and build a foundation.

Yes, only in this way can everyone be like a dragon, all ordinary people can become cultivators, not like now, if there are no resources, cultivators will not be able to get started at all, even if they cultivate to the realm of Xiao Zhou Tian's consummation, they will have to consume a lot of resources, therefore, among the ten cultivators, there is only one person who can achieve Xiao Zhou Tian's consummation.

Only in this way will the monopoly foundation of the family gate valve be interrupted.

If the Zhaojun Li clan knew what was in his heart, maybe he wouldn't be as supportive as he is now, right?

Thinking of this, Du Rui smiled slightly.

Then, a smile froze at the corner of his mouth.

He raised his head and looked into the distance, his gaze penetrating the layers of void and landing at a certain point, cold as snow.
