Entering the palace of King Wen from the east gate, Yao Ruoyu walked on the wide square paved with bluestone, looking up at the night that was gradually sinking down.

Western Liao was annexed by the Jin State, not to mention that the 80,000 were elite wolf cavalry, just a Xiao Xuan of the Eight Realms Emperor was enough to change the overall situation in China today.

In the past, the four kingdoms of China, the Song Dynasty stationed the border at the expense of the three eight realms, and resisted the three kingdoms of Jin, Mongolia and barbarians outside the borders, among which the Jin State was forced by the threat of Chu Crazy Song to sit on the Chongqing Fu Road, and the Jin Taizu never had the intention of making a move on Wen Bang, even if it was the thrilling battle of Chengdu Mansion that year, the strongest on the Jin side was only the Seven Realms.

However, with Xiao Xuan's return to the Jin Kingdom, Dajin was able to free up his hands, or use Xiao Xuan or Wanyan Agu to contain Chu Yange, and the other Emperor of the Eight Realms was able to lead the army south to attack Wen.

Even if it is said that the Jin State is hindered by the Eight Realms Convention, it is enough to make the soldiers of the Jin Kingdom turn into soldiers who are not afraid of life and death.

Therefore, Song Wen or just Wen Bang, the best way to solve the crisis at present is to take advantage of the fact that the Jin State has not yet digested all the 80,000 Liao soldiers and has not taken the initiative to launch an offensive against Song Wen, and then take the lead in launching an attack on the Jin State.

Maybe it was because of the fugue being too empty, but when Yao Ruoyu came back to his senses, he found that he had actually come to the door of Si Tian's place, and after looking at the sky, he estimated that Zou Buyi should still be inside, so he pushed the door and walked in.

Compared with the six departments of the military and the criminal household rites, or the Tiance Mansion, the Commerce Office, the Senate Mansion, which are also known as the three mansions, and even the National Medical Museum, which is purely for treating diseases and saving people, the office of the Si Tian Division, which also belongs to the Wenwang Palace, is extremely shabby.

The whole office is just a courtyard, one of the three main rooms on the north side is Zou Buyi's residence, one is the hall room for entertaining guests on weekdays, and one is vacant, and the ear rooms on the east and west sides are used to store meteorological, historical and other materials.

Because Wen Bang doesn't care much about the meteorology, astronomy, and almanacs in charge of the Si Tian Division, the Si Tian Department is a Qingshui Yamen on the whole, and Zou Buyi doesn't care much about power, so on weekdays, in addition to him, the young eunuch, there are two officials who are not very good at being a person and were thrown to the Si Tian Division, and three small servants who are responsible for cleaning.

Yao Ruoyu walked into the courtyard and saw that Zou Buyi's bedroom was lit up, and the door was open, so he was not polite, he walked over and pushed the door directly.

Zou Buyi was holding a copy of "Gongsun Hun Evil" and reading it with relish, and was startled by his breaking in, and when he could see the person clearly, Zou Buyi threw the book on the table, and said in annoyance: "Will you knock on ......the door?"

Before he finished speaking, Yao Ruoyu had already smiled lightly: "What will you do?"

"I won't just push the door in, how good!" Zou Buyi's face changed quickly, and he sneered, "The prince is here, I don't know what you are doing?"

Yao Ruoyu was amused, walked over and pulled out a chair and sat down, glanced at the plate of peanuts on the table, and sighed: "Zou Aiqing, you also have a lot of money every month, right?

"I'm not as fond of appetite as some people," Zou Buyi noticed the squint of the guy opposite halfway through his speech, and quickly changed his words, "So life is a lot less fun......!"

Yao Ruo grinned foolishly, pinched three peanuts and threw them into his mouth, and asked with a smile: "Buyi, ask you something." ”

"I know you ......" Zou Buyi, who instinctively wanted to tease, remembered that he had just changed his mouth twice, closed the book with some sadness, and said angrily, "What's the matter?"

Yao Ruoyu groaned: "Except for the Great Dao or the spell, do you say that the soul talisman can sense the stars?"

Zou Buyi was still bored, but after hearing this, he was stunned, thought for a moment, and wondered: "The soul talisman senses the stars? If the soul talisman is a star, a sky, or something like that, maybe there is a little possibility, what, who in Wenbang has sensed the stars? How did you do it? What is the word soul talisman?"

Scratching his chin, Yao Ruoyu replied, "Act." ”

"Which one?" Zou Buyi said in surprise.

Rolling his eyes, Yao Ruoyu said angrily: "Lao Tzu's acting." ”

"Your?!" Zou Buyi was stunned and said in surprise, "Isn't your Character Acting Soul Talisman evolving all kinds of attributes?

Yao Ruoyu pouted: "You ask me, who do I ask!"

From the Jade Void Palace, Yao Ruoyu used "Yi Kendao" to watch the prosperity of the sword, and took advantage of the situation to push the character soul talisman backwards from the Bagua level to the four elephants, and whenever he cultivated, he could sense a vast power that was abundant in the sky.

That power was vast and boundless, it seemed to be real and virtual, and it seemed that it could be absorbed by Yao Ruoyu at any time, but it was always illusory and flowing, drifting away from the exploration of his soul.

After a long time, Yao Ruoyu vaguely realized that this was the power of the celestial phenomena of the stars in the four directions.

However, the Ending Sword Dao he cultivated had nothing to do with the stars, even if it was the Thousand Great Dao under the Ending Dao and the more spells derived from it, it was not related to the stars.

After listening to Yao Ruoyu's explanation, Zou Buyi couldn't help frowning, and only after a while did he realize that he asked, "So, your character performance soul talisman has only begun to sense the power of the stars since it was sublimated to the level of the four elephants?"

"Almost!" Yao Ruoyu nodded.

Zou Buyi held his cheeks and said slowly: "In my Yin-Yang family theory, there are four elephants of Zhou Yi and four elephants of Tianxing, of which the latter is the twenty-eight houses of the four directions, which is often said by the world as the green dragon, the vermilion bird, the white tiger, and the Xuanwu. ”

"Lord Wang, since your ending sword path is intended to return to the origin in a reverse way, then the four elephants are an obstacle that you must overcome......"

Before he could finish speaking, Yao Ruoyu had already shook his head, bent his fingers, gathered his qi into a sword, and shook it lightly at the void outside the house, and the original noise outside the house stopped abruptly, as if at this moment, this room was cut off from the outside world by someone with great mana.

"This is to stop the water, the water flows into the heaven and the earth, pervasively, and it is for the space. ”

The blade of the sword hung down again, Yao Ruoyu flicked his fingers at the blade of the sword, and with a bang, the invisible void barrier outside the house collapsed, and the endless spiritual energy was vast and majestic, all flowing into the sword blade condensed by pure spiritual energy.

Yao Ruoyu smiled: "This is a fire-drinking, and the fire is infinitely violent, like energy." ”

Staring at the surging light on the sword blade, Zou Buyi's pupils contracted slightly: "Do you control all spirits?"

With a flip of his wrist, Yao Ruoyu rose up with his sword, and waved lightly at the iron shelf on the left, and without a sound, the bookshelf forged by black iron buzzed into powder, but the shelves full of books were unscathed, but they suddenly fell to the ground because the bookshelf was shattered.

Finding that Zou Buyi's expression was suddenly painful, Yao Ruoyu smiled embarrassedly: "This is unloading weapons, unloading killing and unloading armor." ”

Zou Buyi thought for a while, and said, "This is the reversal method of the prince against the four elephants, right?"

Seeing his expression, Yao Ruoyu smiled and said, "Old Zou, do you have a different opinion?"

Zou Buyi hesitated slightly, and said slowly: "Don't dare to say your opinion, I understand it personally, will you ...... Thinking too complicated?"

"Complicated?" Yao Ruoyu was slightly stunned.

Gently bowing his head, Zou Buyi pinched a peanut and threw it into his mouth, and said softly: "Since ancient times, Lingwu and martial arts cannot be united, although the prince has dual cultivation of spirit and martial arts, but don't forget, the way of the sword is only a martial art after all, and the soul rune is only a soul rune after all, although both originate from the Three Thousand Great Dao, but after all, they are still the same origin and different paths, why does the prince have to combine the two into one?"

Yao Ruoyu couldn't help but be silent, Zou Buyi scratched his hair, and said with a smile: "Let's put it this way, martial arts for the prince, such as the spirit rhyme of a spirit master like me, and the soul rune is like a spirit method, the two can be matched and coordinated with each other, but they don't have to be fused together, what do you think?"

Zou Buyi just expressed his thoughts based on his personal opinions, but for Yao Ruoyu, these words are tantamount to a morning bell at dusk, which is thought-provoking.

Slowly closing his eyes, Yao Ruoyu's mind sank into the Purple Mansion, and the two words of acting and reverse soul talismans continued to circle around his soul, the former was dazzling with four-color brilliance, and the latter was weird and domineering.

If it weren't for Zou Buyi's awakening, Yao Ruoyu might still be obsessed with fusing the sword and the soul rune, but he still couldn't wake up to the fact that the soul rune and the sword are of the same attribute, after all, they are still different things, and forcibly fusing them is just a twisted melon.

With his epiphany, the soul thought that originated from the end of the sword path suddenly overflowed, no longer pretentious in the past, but slowly exuded a majestic atmosphere of unparalleled domineering, which was the self-confidence and pride of having the capital to end all things in heaven and earth.

At the same time, the character soul talisman also slowly broke off the veins that were forcibly linked to the end of the sword path in the past, symbolizing the four-color halo of the four elephants or thick or shallow, the thickest is golden, that is, the white tiger of the West Palace of the Seven Nights of the West, followed by blue and red, and the lightest is the green that symbolizes the green dragon of the East.

Between the peace of mind, Yao Ruo suddenly realized that the reason why the white tiger elephant was the strongest was because when he killed Li Busheng, the demon dragon life grid swallowed and inhaled the other party's white tiger life grid, so that he had this innate white tiger life grid, so that he had the abundant Xi Geng Ruijin qi.

Therefore, according to this theory, do you need to collect and possess the three types of life grids of Qinglong, Vermilion Bird, and Xuanwu next, so as to complete the four elephants, and then reverse to the first level of yin and yang?

Originally, he just passed by by accident, and he temporarily got up to consult about the astrological signs, but he didn't expect that because of Zou Buyi's "nonsense", he once again revised his path of cultivation, Yao Ruoyu couldn't help but be overjoyed.

In fact, it is also possible that he originally smelted the soul talisman and the sword path into one. After all, when it comes to spiritual practice, all roads lead to Rome, and there is never a dead end, but there are wide and wide avenues to heaven, and there are also narrow and rugged mountain paths.

This is why some monks are able to leap thousands of miles in one go and advance by leaps and bounds on the path of cultivation, while others can only stumble step by step and stumble to follow in the footsteps of others.

Yao Ruoyu first belonged to the former, once he had an epiphany to destroy the sword intent, and seemed to have opened up a broad road that had not been walked by his predecessors, but he was cautious and subtle by nature, and always corrected the direction, although he finally approached and mastered the way of the end because of this, but he also became the latter who stumbled and walked.

"It seems that His Highness has gained a lot!" Seeing his expression, Zou Buyi smiled.

Yao Ruoyu smiled, his mind moved, and as the light of the character talisman gradually brightened, four-colored halos appeared one after another around his body.

The towering green wood glows with endless charm!

The golden luster exudes a biting killing aura!

The crimson detachment of fire carries an infinite power of destruction!

The vast and thick Xuanshui condenses like a continent and land, and is as majestic as a mountain!

Wood represents vitality, gold represents killing, fire represents destruction, and water represents creation, this is the mystery that Yao Ruoyu realized at that moment.

The most peculiar thing is that this four-color halo seems to be the four images of wood, gold, water and fire, but as Yao Ruoyu breathes out, the four-color halo sometimes turns into eight-color spiritual light, and sometimes it is illusioned into five-color lubulence.

Seeing this, Zou Buyi smiled lightly and arched his hand: "Congratulations to the prince for mastering the way of the four elephants." ”

"Why is that?" Yao Ruoyu said with a frown as he looked at the ever-changing halo around him.

Zou Buyi said with a smile: "The four elephants were born from yin and yang, but they evolved into the five elements and the eight trigrams respectively, although the eight trigrams exceed the five elements in terms of quantity, but in the end, both are derived from the four elephants, and the level is the same. ”

"When the prince can one day convert the four elephants with the five elements and gossip at will, he will be able to completely master the way of the four elephants, and sublimate the character soul talisman to the level of yin and yang. ”

Yao Ruoyu suddenly, clasped his hands, put away all the halos in the sky, and showed a somewhat thoughtful look.

Although this time the sublimation direction of the character soul talisman has been perfected, but the original four-move swordsmanship created by the grass still has merit, as long as it is combined with the mystery of today's four elephants, supplemented by the reversal effect of the reverse character soul talisman, it may be possible to sublimate the four swords to a higher realm.
