Chapter 16 Liu Xun Alchemy of the State Pastoral Mansion The son of the Black Dragon meets the United States

Before Dong Zhuo's words fell, Huangfu Song turned out next to him, kowtowed, and said: "The minister thinks that what Master Dong said is inappropriate. Liu Zhang is a clan, the same clan as His Majesty, and they are all descendants of Emperor Gaozu. Now that Liu Zhang is old, it is a matter of course to pass on the throne to his son. Besides, I heard that Liu Xun, who was only about 20 years old, repeatedly broke Zhang Lu and leveled Zhao Wei, and he really has the talent to govern the country and lead the army. The appointment of him as the pastor of Yizhou is just getting his right. ”

In Emperor Xian's heart, he completely agreed with Huangfu Song's words, but he was just a puppet emperor, and the government was in the hands of Dong Zhuo, where did he dare to squeak.

Dong Zhuo was about to get angry, and Li Ru next to him gave him a wink, he always knew that Li Ru was resourceful and knew that there was a difference, so he immediately announced his retirement from the dynasty and discussed it again in the future.

Back in the mansion, Dong Zhuo summoned Li Ru and asked, "I oppose the appointment of Liu Xun as the pastor of Yizhou in the court today, why do you object?" ”

"Taishi, you think, Yizhou is located in a remote area, there is the majesty of the Sword Pavilion, the danger of the gate, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Moreover, the Taishi is currently in charge of the court, and the ministers of the court and the princes of the sea are all eyeing each other. In terms of the current situation, even if Taishi opposes Liu Xun as the pastor of Yizhou, he can't change the fact that he controls Yizhou, but has no reason to make enemies with him. Now that Liu Xun has come to the court, Taishi happened to appoint him as the pastor of Yizhou in the name of the imperial court. Then he sent a confidant to Yizhou to issue an edict, and by the way, he observed Liu Xun. Today, if the Taishi has something to do in the future, he will summon Liu Xun to come to the rescue in the name of the Son of Heaven, how dare he disobey? ”

"In your opinion, who is the right person to send?"

"Jia Xu is a resourceful person, and it is most suitable to send him as an envoy."

"Gao Jian, just do it", Dong Zhuo said.

The next morning, Dong Zhuo went out of class to play: "Liu Xun, the son of Liu Zhang, the pastor of Yizhou, is young and talented, please send someone to pass the decree and appoint him as the pastor of Yizhou." ”

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked.

"Just according to what the Taishi played, the Taishi sent someone to announce the decree", dedicated to the emperor, and his words were full of helplessness.

"The minister Liu Xun thanked the emperor for Longen", Dong Zhuo said, "The minister's subordinate Jia Xu is more talented, so let him go to announce the decree."

"The master just looks at it, quasi-play."

Dong Zhuo summoned Jia Xu, and after some conspiracy, he let him go to Yizhou.

Liu Xun's main concern now is to refine the elixir, open up the tendons and veins of his left foot, let his left foot return to normal, and at the same time complete the foundation of the Xuangong that swallows the world.

The Taoist book passed down by Zuo Ci is very magical, Liu Xun is talented and smart, but after all, he has never studied alchemy before, but this Zhuji Dan is difficult to refine.

used the power of Yizhou Mu to mobilize his subordinates, and the materials for alchemy were all found, but after starting to refine the pill, he found that this pill was not easy to refine.

"Hey, hey, I've failed fifty times, I shouldn't fail again this time", Liu Xundao, after dozens of failures, his alchemy skills have been greatly improved, and he can refine some ordinary pills.

Seeing that this furnace pill had reached an emergency moment again, Liu Xun practiced calligraphy, stepped on the gang step to fight, and pointed his sword at the sky, and a vision suddenly appeared in the sky.

A gust of wind swept in, followed by a black and oppressive dark cloud gathered in the air, "Yes, the wind from the dragon, the cloud from the tiger, the gathering of wind and clouds, it is the image of the dragon and tiger through the vein Zhuji Dan is about to be completed." ”

The wind roared around the Dan furnace, swirling in clusters, forming a huge vortex. Dark clouds rolled in the sky, and the sky above the Dan furnace was as black as ink, which was the image of the intersection of dragons and tigers. This kind of scene is exactly the same as the scene described in Zuo Ci's "Taoist Summary".

"Hard work pays off, this dragon and tiger Dan is successful, the foundation is successful, and the era of I, Liu Xun, walking sideways in this world, is coming", Liu Xun was ecstatic and couldn't help yelling, "I, Liu Bang, am finally going to rise." ”

couldn't help but call out his real name, this was the first time he called out his real name since he came to this world.

Fortunately, the little soldier who heard this sentence didn't doubt him at all, but admired it in his heart, "The lord really has a good heart, and he compares himself to his ancestor Liu Bang, and he is in top of his guns." ”

Just as he was proud, above the clouds, the thick lightning flashed continuously, and bursts of thunder suddenly sounded, hitting the Dan furnace.

"My God, why is my life so bitter, I finally want to refine a furnace of Dan, but it turns out to be jealous and attract thunder, it seems that this hard work has been in vain" Liu Xun complained bitterly, so he had to continue to step on the gang cloth fight, and the book talisman was thrown into the fire under the furnace, hoping to escape the catastrophe.

He has no way out, on the one hand, he is unwilling, on the other hand, this furnace pill is connected with his mind, once he stops halfway, his mind is injured, and he will languish for several days.

Fortunately, those days of thunder only went to the Dan furnace and did not hit him, otherwise, even if he has the true qi of thunder light, it is really difficult to say whether he can be struck by lightning again and not die.

The Dan furnace began to tremble violently, and suddenly there was a horn, and the Dan furnace toppled over, extinguishing the flames, the thunder stopped, and the clouds were light and the wind was light.

"I am not reconciled to the death of the sky", Liu Xun looked up to the sky and roared, depressed. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and by the fireplace on the ground, a golden elixir lay there quietly.

The pill is the size of a quail egg, several times smaller than the one described in the "Taoist Collection", but the book says that it is the size of an egg, and the color is not all right.

The Taoist book says that the "Dragon and Tiger Tongmai Zhuji Dan" is golden and crystal clear, but this pill is golden and green, and there is a hint of ghostly light.

"How can this be, I finally refined a pill, this is the result of a few months and fifty failures. The final refining pill has obviously mutated, and the mutated pill still has the original effect", Liu Xun fell into a dilemma, "Time is running out, it will take a few more months to refine the pill, and I don't have patience." Not to mention anything else, today's battle almost took his life. If the next alchemy attracts heavenly thunder, it is really difficult to say whether he can escape the catastrophe. ”

"Take it, if this Dan is poisonous, my life will be hanging."

"If you don't accept it, if this Dan really has the effect of building a foundation and passing through the veins, won't your intestines be repentant."

Holding the pill in his hand, Liu Xun circled around the Dan furnace, and the heavens and men were at war in his heart, and he was undecided.

"Zuo Ci, Zuo Ci, you are too irresponsible. Throw off a broken book and leave, leaving the problem to me, is there a disciple like you in the world? Liu Xun kept slandering Zuo Ci in his heart.

"Since I am reborn in this troubled era, I must live like a human being and be a generation of heroes, otherwise I will only live for a lifetime, and I am not willing to be a mediocre person", Liu Xun secretly decided, "If you don't succeed, you will become benevolent, and you will accept it." ”

With a tilt of his neck, he put the Dragon and Tiger Tongmai Zhuji Dan into his mouth, swallowed his saliva, "cooed", and swallowed it in his stomach.

The pill enters the abdomen, the body is hot and abnormal, Liu Xun sits down cross-legged according to the luck method of swallowing the world's Xuangong, and the gong is nine turns, and the true qi luck of the whole body is nine big weeks, guiding the power of the pill, cutting the hair and washing the marrow, impacting the five internal organs, the twelve canons, and the eight veins of the strange meridians. Every week of running, my left leg was in terrible pain.

Endure the pain, continue to do the exercises, and only stop until the exercises are complete.

Liu Xun stood up and walked a few steps, and miraculously found that his left foot had mostly recovered as normal, and as long as he continued to practice every day, it would not take long to avoid lameness.

When punching and kicking, I felt that the strength was unusually great, and every punch was struck, the tiger was vigorous, and the strength was as great as a dragon and tiger, and the thunder light of "Zizi" was sandwiched between the fists and feet, and the power of thunder and lightning contained in it was several times stronger than before.

"Good guy, this pill is called Dragon and Tiger Tongmai Zhuji Dan, it is really incredible, it actually has the strength of the dragon and tiger", Liu Xun smacked his tongue and said, "Fortunately, there is the Xuangong body protection of the power to swallow the world passed on by Master Zuo Ci, and ordinary martial artists who take this pill have long broken the tendons and veins and died violently."

For a while, Liu Xun only felt full of energy, his limbs were warm, and he was indescribably comfortable and inexhaustible.

During this time, military affairs were entrusted to Zhang Ren, and government affairs were entrusted to Fa Zheng, Zhang Song, and Liu Xun to concentrate on alchemy.

At this time, taking advantage of his energy, Liu Xun found a quiet room in the mansion and watched Zuo Ci's "Xuangong of Swallowing the World".

"This skill is named after 'potential', covering the world's exercises, and everything has potential. The potential, the way, the way, the way, the very way, the potential can be clear, but also difficult to understand. ”

"This exercise begins with the clear 'potential' and ends with the 'potential', which has the same effect as the triple realm of Zen Buddhism."

"The first thing is to see that the mountain is the mountain, and the water is the water. Understanding the advantages and disadvantages of various martial arts weapons, knowing their strengths and weaknesses, and understanding their trends is the first realm. ”

"Second, look at the mountains not as mountains, and look at the water as not water. After cultivating Xuangong to a certain extent, you will understand that the cultivation realm of various martial arts varies from person to person, and the same martial arts have different 'potentials' in the hands of different people. This realm is truly penetrated, and the Dao heart begins to be clear, reaching the realm of 'Dao Jin'. If there is no corresponding mental method and the talent is abnormal, most martial artists will stagnate after reaching this realm, and they will never get close again for life. This realm can be called a 'martial saint'. Seeing this, Liu Xun nodded secretly, Guan Yunchang was called a "martial saint" by later generations, which still makes sense.

"The third is to see that the mountain is the mountain, and the water is the water. After reaching this realm, the Dao heart is further enlightened, and at this time, it is already a rare opponent to cross the world. This realm is called 'momentum', as long as you first glimpse the 'momentum' realm, the height is not cold, and it is difficult to meet opponents in the world. It's like a cow, it's easy to play. However, in order to truly achieve complete clarity of the Dao heart, one must reach the peak of 'momentum'. At that time, the unity of heaven and man, the clear mind, any martial arts in the world, no longer in the eyes, this is really wonderful, not to the realm, it is difficult to describe. ”

Next, Zuo Ci began a detailed description of the characteristics of various martial arts, and the more Liu Xun watched, the more fascinated he became, dancing with his hands, and he was very happy.

"Yizhou Zhao's 'Five Tigers Broken Door Axe', wide open and closed, mighty, its potential lies in the ......", it turns out that this is the case, confirming Zhao Wei's axe method, Liu Xun has a feeling of sudden enlightenment, "If you face Zhao Wei again, even if you are defeated, you will not be defeated in three moves." It is not a problem to support at least thirty or fifty moves. ”

"It's a pity that Zhao Wei is dead, and his wish to fight with him again cannot be realized."

……

"Grass, trees, insects, fish, birds and beasts, wind, rain, thunder and lightning, and even all things in the world all have 'potential'. A real martial artist must create his own 'potential' at the beginning, so that he can gradually understand his heart and finally see his heart", seeing this, Liu Xun's heart moved, his thunder light true qi is different, but tomorrow's thunder's 'potential', how can it be within the reach of manpower? If you use other methods to create your own momentum, then what?

Tianlei, Liu Xun is currently afraid to try, so how to create his own "potential"?

"It's a good way to solve the cow", Liu Xun's eyes lit up, and he immediately denied his idea, "Thinking about the herding ding, it took a lifetime of hard work to understand the 'potential' of the cow, and I don't know anything about killing cattle, so it won't work with this method." ”

"Isn't it often said that 'the momentum is like a bamboo', splitting bamboo, this method should be feasible", followed by a shake of his head, and denied this method.

After thinking about it, Liu Xun finally set his goal on the idea of "practicing in the water", which was the result of his careful consideration.

In fact, the last time he practiced in Qinglongtan in Jiamengguan, Liu Xun already had some experience, but at that time, there was no mental method of "swallowing the world", and many truths were unclear.

"Find a big waterfall, preferably the kind of place that is imposing, has a reputation for miles, and has a waterhole below", Liu Xun said to himself, "If you meet this condition, there is only a black dragon half a mile away."

Immediately found his own soldiers and ordered: "I want to go to the Black Dragon Stream to practice, if General Zhang Ren and Lord Fa Zheng have something to do, come to that place to find me", after finishing speaking, Liu Xun rushed to the Black Dragon Drain in a hurry.

The black dragon is a place that does not lose in the green dragon pond, the surrounding scenery is beautiful, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, a big waterfall rumbles and falls down, there is a deep pool below, the water waves in the pool are turbulent, the waves are rolling.

"Good place", Liu Xun sighed, jumped into the pool, and began to dance and play with his feet, for two consecutive months, almost every day.

Practice fists and feet, and practice marksmanship. Originally, Liu Xun was originally a sword, but after learning Zuo Ci's Xuangong, he began to understand that he was not suitable for practicing knives, and if he changed his marksmanship, it would be easier to realize the "potential" in it.

After two months of practice, Liu Xun's fists and feet, and marksmanship have made great progress, and he has broken through to the realm of real strength.

Today, the sun is shining, and there is some delay in dealing with government affairs in the morning. Seeing that noon was approaching, there was nothing to do, and he came to the black dragon to practice boxing again, and it became natural for him to get used to it, Liu Xun jumped into the water.

Suddenly, a graceful figure emerged from underwater.

Liu Xun retracted his momentum in time, and in a panic, his claws held two soft balls, and his whole body was like being struck by lightning, and he was numb.
