Chapter 118: Initiation
To tell people that times have changed is actually a cruel thing to hear.
When you don't look at it, everyone just laughs at it, but for the person who is being said, this is a big thing that can cause the world to fall apart.
Regardless of the person's identity, when someone is so true to it, it can only mean one thing.
He is out of step with the times!
Temujin, of course, did not derail from the times!!
The reason why such a period happened was entirely because a certain person with the surname Blue directly changed the terminal!
I thought it was a magical heavenly road, but you told me that you changed the route to the Hell Train?
It's no wonder he's not crazy!
When the battle of Montenegro came to an end, the battle report Lan Li received was really good.
On the frontal battlefield, which lasted 18 days, with 260,000 Great Song soldiers mixed with nearly 200,000 Western Xia defeated troops, they actually defeated nearly 700,000 'Mongols' led by Genghis Khan, and beat Temujin to self-isolation in one battle!
It has to be said that this was a miraculous battle.
And Wang Yangming, the new commander-in-chief of the Song army, drew up his unshakable position in the Song Dynasty army with such a victory! By the way, he took over the overall situation of the chaos in the military and political aspects of the Great Song Dynasty since Yue Pengju's death!
In other words, just two words, awesome!
Even if everyone knows that he Wang Yangming borrowed the power of firearms, and even took advantage of Temujin's 'carelessness', but victory is victory, and the nearly 300,000 Mongolian troops who died will not cheat, and Temujin, who vomited blood on the spot and on the battlefield, is even more ironclad proof.
In other words, it is a very awesome thing to be able to seize the opportunity to win on the ever-changing battlefield.
Is it true that the Mongols did not have firearms in their army?
It's just that because he hadn't been beaten a few times, Temujin didn't care about it.
It is precisely because Wang Yangming seized this fleeting opportunity that he created such brilliant results and victories as he is now!
"Hey.... It's a pity...."
Looking at the battle report in front of him, thinking that the middle-aged Confucian student still slipped out from under his nose, Lan Li only felt sour in his heart.
Wang Yangming!
In the Ming Dynasty, there was only such a sub-saint!
This is a top-notch character who has only come out in thousands of years....
Saying that Lan Li is not distressed, that is a few nonsense!
On the day Wang Yangming left, Lan Li knew in his heart that he must have missed a big opportunity, but when he saw it today, he was still numb and difficult to describe.
Capable people can go anywhere, even if they change the time, change the place, or even change the world, they can create a great cause in a short world.
Obviously, Wang Yangming is such a bull.
In one fell swoop, the population that the Mongols could only grow in ten years, and in the next period of life, they will eat more, and even directly hit the Mongols to the ground.....
In this regard, Lan Li can only say:
"The idea is good, but I can only think about it, after suffering such a big loss, the Mongolian side will definitely be on guard, and a big victory like the Battle of Montenegro will not happen a second time!
The enemy is prepared, and it is such a stupid thing as riding on foot, and with Wang Yangming's ability, he can't create a miracle, right? ”
Hehehe....
Lan Li thinks too much!
Just when the big guys, including him, thought that Wang Yangming would steadily lead the army to hold the first line of defense in Montenegro and Jiayuguan, the Confucian general made a diametrically opposite decision.
Hit head-on!
Gather the whole army's war horses, arm a rich cavalry with 20,000 men and 50,000 horses, and then follow the flank of the Mongol rout all the way, like a snow leopard hunting, from time to time like a prey to bite a few bites, and then evacuate in the shortest possible time.
With such tactics, Wang Yangming lasted until the end of April, when he was caught by the Mongols' elite cavalry and ate the Mongols' characteristic cavalry!
The results are remarkable!
After the others returned to Jiayuguan, they laughed and asked everyone: "What did he Mongolians do, but we can't do it?" Is that the case? ”
Competing with the Mongols is really!
You must know that people live on horseback as a child, and it can be said that they have been dealing with horses all their lives!
However, after Wang Yangming's trouble, the Mongol rout, which should have been quickly assembled after the defeat, was stunned to pull the battle line thousands of miles away!
Not to mention the number of escapees who took advantage of the opportunity, it also created a better opportunity for the northernmost Hengros people.
All of a sudden, there was smoke in Mongolia, and the Torre army, which was supposed to lead the army to Hengros to quell the rebellion, was stunned halfway through the line, and there was a mutiny, which led to a stalemate when the two sides fought in northern Mongolia.
100,000 Mongol counterinsurgency troops actually fought a stalemate with more than 10,000 Hengrus?
This is a big joke!
Was it because the fighting people were too strong, or was it the Mongol servant army that had finally lost confidence in the Mongols' control?
The latter, of course!!
From the beginning of the Mongol battle with the Montenegrin defenders in February, in just three months, Temujin's servant army escaped nearly half of them, except for the war dead!
What is this concept?
You must know that the Mongols themselves are only a population of more than a million people, of which there are only about 300,000 who can fight on horseback, and he Temujin used all kinds of servant armies to fight the world!
When the servants began to dare to rebel against Temujin, what would be the result?
The Mongol Empire, a large country, was on the verge of collapse in a very short period of time!
"Withdrawal !!"
Seeing that the interior was beginning to be unstable, Temujin, who had not healed from his old wounds, looked at the solid Montenegrin defense line in front of him, and could only grit his teeth and shout the word 'withdraw the army'.
He knew that this might be the closest he would get to swallowing Da Song in his life.
The next time the Mongols gather together, they will not face a combination like Wang Zhongfu and Wang Yangming, but more likely Zhang Sanfeng to pinch him to death......
Unwilling.
Indignation!
But in the face of his own erosive situation, Temujin himself is powerless!
The Mongols retreated.
In the territory of Western Xia, the sound of boiling cheers is endless.
So much so that a certain 'Empress Dowager Xiao' of Western Xia also came forward in person, received the positive and negative two generals surnamed Wang, and expressed her infinite respect for the alliance between Western Xia and the Great Song Dynasty.
Regarding this matter, Wang Yangming secretly wrote to the imperial court several times, hoping that the imperial court would authorize him to take the opportunity to lead troops to annex Western Xia.
Pity.
His proposal was rejected!
God-given opportunity, fed to the dogs!
The opposition in the DPRK and China, that is really a real 'Lao Tzu is only for stability, expanding the territory and taking care of my bird affairs'!
With such a boss, no matter how much Wang Yangming has the intention to kill thieves, he is unable to swallow the territory of Western Xia by himself, and in the face of Western Xia, the only thing he won was to push the territory of the Southern Song Dynasty under Montenegro, and also stationed 30,000 defenders in the Montenegrin defense line.
And this is also the last territorial change in Nanzhan Buzhou before the merger of the world.
Yes.
The merger of the worlds is about to begin.
Beginning on the fifth day of the fifth month of May, a series of precursor changes began to appear in various parts of Nanzhan Buzhou.
The mountains all over the world began another round of self-elevation, and the water of the great rivers began a new round of rising tide.
Yellow River overflowing!!
Yangtze River Expansion !!
Dongting Lake, located on the side of the Yangtze River, has begun to change from the ancient style!
Yunmengze, Zigai Mountain, Xianghaijiao, 100,000 mountains.
A series of geological changes began to occur frequently at the court meetings of the Song Dynasty, and the disasters caused by geological changes became the main reason for the imperial court to urge Wang Yangming to withdraw his troops.
The era of natural disasters has arrived.
Among them, the most severely affected are the land south of the Yangtze River near Yunmeng Daze (Dongting Lake), and Shuzhong, which is known as the land of abundance!
Yunmengze flooded, and Shuzhong Mountain was rampant.
When the north of the Yangtze River has not fully recovered production, natural disasters have occurred in these two large producers, which is a major event that shakes the country's capital!
Even, from the perspective of people's livelihood, it is really not a wrong thing for them to order Wang Mingyang to withdraw his troops!
In this regard, even Lan Li, who doesn't like them, has to admit that few people who can blend in with the court are really corpse vegetarians!
Of course, all of this has little to do with Lan Li.
At this time, what he was most concerned about was whether he could take the opportunity of this change in heaven and earth to directly break through the steps and enter the Dao!
When the worlds merge, it is the time when the laws of the world are the most chaotic and the monks can break through the ranks the most!
This is the opportunity!
You must know that after this world merger, when the five states of heaven and earth are completed, the difficulty of breaking through the Dao is dozens of times that of now!
If it is said that before the great changes in heaven and earth, the difficulty of entering the Tao was ten, but with the opportunity of turning the earth upside down, the current difficulty is only two to five.
But when the heavens and the earth are re-stabilized and the laws are merged, this difficulty will soar to a hundred!
So much so that in the future after the merger of the worlds, it will be a big question whether the martial artists will still have the first order of 'entering the Dao'.
After all, the initiation itself ......
"This is the way of initiation.....
The top of the East China Sea, facing the sea.
Standing in a floating posture on the surface of the sea that was becoming flooded by the tides, Lan Li looked up at the full moon hanging in the sky, and only felt that the emotions in his heart could not be calmed for a long time.
Entering the path, this is the last stage of the martial artist's path.
Although there are actually many 'small levels' within the initiation path, and the average gap between each level is larger than the gap between the grandmaster and the great grandmaster, in practical terms, the gap between these small realms is still included in the initiation itself!
Just like the third layer of qi training is qi training, and the ninth layer of qi training is also qi training, but the ancient qi practitioners have cultivated more than 800 layers of realm, can you still say that people are not qi practitioners?
And the initiation itself is such a thing!
From this point of view, Wang Chongyang and Zhang Sanfeng are really in the same realm!
It's just that there is a huge gap in combat power between the two sides, that is, the difference between the nineteenth layer of Qi training and the ninety-ninth layer of Qi training.
That's the essence!
As for the many small realms that many people have in the realm of initiation, there is no difference in nature.
To enter the Tao is to find one's own way.
The further you can go on this path will be a corresponding increase in your combat power.
And in this, every feeling, every touch, every time you strengthen your own beliefs, will make you go further and become stronger.
Until you lose faith in yourself, and the road is narrowed and broken, which is the end of your path.
And this road is called the way of immortals!!
Sky!
Earth!
Person!
God!
Ghost!
The two immortals of heaven and earth are precious, and the two immortals of gods and ghosts are ethereal!
Only human immortals set foot under their feet one way, which is a real way for mortals to ascend to the sky!
Such a thought almost produced such an understanding the moment Lan Li touched the barrier of the Daoist Immortal Realm.
If you step into it, there will be no reference to everything on the road after that!
I'll do it myself!
Compared to the path of cultivation, which can be passed down from generation to generation, when you reach the first level of entry, it is already the end of most martial artists in the world!
There are countless heroes in this area, and there is no other reason than that there is no way ahead!
Want to keep climbing the martial arts?
You can only open the road on your own!
"Hey, no wonder Xiao Baibai wrote to say that the martial arts may decline in the future, and there is no more talk of entering the first order of the Dao.
Far away....
Is that so? ”
With an indifferent smile on his face, Lan Li looked around and looked at the sky above him.
Ultimately.
It climbs step by step.
The invisible staircase began to spread from its feet to the heavens.
Step by step, walking is the road of human immortals!
And every step Lan Li has taken, in his mind, there is a large amount of martial arts turned into firewood, helping him to move towards a higher peak!
'Iron Sand Palm', 'Spring Leg', 'Eagle Claw Gong', 'Iron Cloth Shirt', 'Dragon Walk', 'Wind Sword Technique'.....
Countless low-level exercises that Lan Li had learned, seen, and had been ordered to the full level by him began to turn into Lan Li's survival instinct.
'Sanyang Gong', 'Liuyang Gong', 'Wudang Jiuyang Gong', 'Pure Yang Wuji Gong', 'Canglan Wujue', 'Innate Gong'.....
The secret books of internal strength that had been collected and recorded, and even some of which were thrown into the 'oven' by Lan Li and incinerated, turned into an invisible ladder for him to continue to climb upwards at this time!
"Higher! I can go even higher!"
The handsome face was full of perseverance, and Lan Li's body began to be filled with countless figures of martial arts, martial arts, and martial arts.
One by one, the figures around him evolved every exercise he had ever practiced, and when the practice was completed, he returned to the Blue Rite deity again.
"Tai Chi? Ha! Master! You're really awesome! ”
As the 'fire' increased, a large number of low-level exercises were extinguished as the fire burned, and some seemingly inconspicuous exercises began to brush off the dust on the outside, revealing their inner nature!
'Taijiquan, Liangyi Sword, Nine Yin True Scripture, Northern Shengong, Heaven and Earth Immortal Changchun Palace, Vajra Incorruptible Divine Skill, Washing the Pulp Sutra ......
At this moment, the esoteric martial arts that Lan Li had collected over the years had become the food that helped him ascend to heaven!
One-step.
Another step.
How high can you go?
Eight hundred meters... A thousand meters... Three thousand meters....
When Lan Li gradually stepped into the clouds, a large number of exercises had burned out, and in the end, there were only two remaining to be supported!
One is the blue martial decision that Lan Li invokes as the foundation.
The other is .....
Wudang Introductory Mind !!
