Chapter 46: Secrets of the Three Realms
Concubine Yutai probably realized that she was being watched, turned her face and smiled and asked, "Is there anyone you like?"
Dongqiang smiled shyly and shook his head, "We are only loyal to our future master, and we don't usually think about this",
Concubine Yutai asked curiously, "When will you be assigned to the princess and princess, will you know where you belong in the future in advance?"
Dongqiang shrank into the quilt and shook his head with a smile, Concubine Xue of the Tai Dynasty did not relent, "The princes and princesses must have seen each other in ordinary times, since they will definitely be assigned to one of them, there is no one you want to follow?",
There was a sound of footsteps outside the window from far and near, the two hurriedly gathered their breath and quieted down, and only when the footsteps walked away from the far east wall did they turn their heads and look out the window, confirmed that there was no one and moved to the side of Concubine Xue, hesitated for a moment and said softly, "In fact, anyone in the princess can do it, maybe Princess Zheng Zhu is more liked by everyone, Princess Xuandu is also excellent, oh, and Princess Rou, if you say to the princes, maybe the most eye-catching is the eldest prince, the fourth prince, the sixth prince and the twelfth prince, I didn't think about who I like to follow whom, and I can't be the master",
Concubine Xue smiled lightly, "I know that it will be like this, most women will have a vision of their future destination, you are the most restrained, not only restraining your words and deeds, but also restraining your own thoughts, I can see it",
Dongqiang wanted to argue, probably to say that she didn't hide it from Concubine Xue, Concubine Xuefei raised a finger and pressed the woman's pink lips, and said with a smile, "I'm really praising you, I'm a little envious, I always can't help but think about the future I like, but I know that I can't control it, I still think about it, so it's some... Some are not so good",
Dongqiang hesitated for a moment and asked softly, "Which prince was Miss Xue pointed out to?, don't you like it?",
Concubine Xue was a little distracted when she heard this, but she quickly recovered, and said with a smile, "He, I can't say whether I like it or not, the family affair was set when we were just born, and I have never had much contact with it over the years, and I haven't even said a word, maybe he doesn't like it, I don't like this family business, if I can do better, maybe I can push off this family business."
Dongqiang shook his head and said firmly, "How can there be a man in the world who doesn't like Miss Xuefei, unless Miss refuses others, according to the aunts in the palace, Miss Xuefei's physique, appearance, temperament and temperament are definitely the most liked, oh, Dongqiang lost her words, Miss Xuefei is really good, is there someone you like?",
Concubine Xue smiled and shook her head, "How can this be, I can still control this, you will definitely talk about a few princes in the palace, what do they say about the four princes, the five princes, the six princes, and the eight princes?"
The east wall glanced out of the window, and said in a low voice, "The four princes are gentle, oblivious, diligent and talented, and have the best reputation, the five princes seem to be a little ordinary in comparison, and their personalities are not very clear, but their cultivation talents and conduct are impeccable, and the six princes seem to be a little sharp in their determination to forge ahead, but I heard that they are generous, benevolent, and fair to their subordinates, as for the eight princes...",
Concubine Xue chuckled and said, "Isn't the Eighth Prince not very good?"
Dongqiang muttered, "It's not good to spread it, but as long as it's not the common people can see it, most of the rumors are smears that catch the wind and catch shadows, but the Eighth Prince never justifies and clarifies, and it is easy to be really left behind over time, and the people in the palace say that His Royal Highness and His Majesty are not in harmony, or they are angry, or they really want to break away from the royal Hui land, oh, didn't they take a half-year leave from the Hui land with the Guozi Supervisor some time ago?",
Concubine Xue frowned slightly, and asked softly, "East Wall, who did you listen to about the Eighth Emperor Returning to the Clan?"
Dongqiang was stunned when he heard this, then his eyes widened, and he was a little flustered, and Concubine Xue touched the pretty face of Dongqiang and said seriously, "Don't talk about this again."
Dongqiang nodded with palpitations, hesitated for a moment and said softly, "The first person I met when I entered the palace was actually His Royal Highness the Eight, at that time I followed the prince who took me into the palace to get the clothes and bedding, and His Royal Highness was carried by His Majesty in the palace for a walk, I remember that His Majesty handed over His Royal Highness to the prince and ran away as soon as he slipped away, and after a while, he was dragged back by Chun Niangniang's ears, and at that time I didn't know that the happy couple was His Majesty and Niangniang",
For a while, the two women were a little distracted, probably imagining the scene of the dignified ninety-five being carried by his wife to take care of the children.

Zheng Yan looked at the person who suddenly appeared on the opposite side of the bonfire, and was a little unresponsive for a while, and after a while, he smiled helplessly, "Mr. Deng, why are you looking for me?
Deng Nan smiled, sat down cross-legged, glanced at the golden gourd beside Zheng Yan, and said softly, "I've been a little thirsty after a journey of tens of thousands of miles, don't you invite me to take a sip?"
Zheng Yan didn't say anything, handed over the gourd, Deng Nan untied the lid and took a long sip, looked at the gourd and said softly, "Well, you're right, it's really not difficult to find, it's just that the entire Divine Thunder Jade Mansion is hot-tempered, only I am such an outlier, I've really had enough of it over the years, so I want to find someone with a similar temper, and I happened to meet you, the person who can have the temper of you and me in the congenital thunder fire physique is almost a thousand years old, don't you really want to go with me to see the scenery in the sky?",
Zheng Yan did not hesitate and refused directly.
Deng Nan was not surprised, nodded and said, "Just like the woman said, it is true that you should do something at what age, but I believe that sooner or later you will go, no matter how good your temper is, that kind of restlessness will not be wrong at all",
Zheng Yan thought about it for a while and said tentatively, "But there have been no ascending people in the world for hundreds of years."
Deng Nan smiled indifferently A few days ago, in an unknown place in the south, I saw a fight caused by the diversion of water to water the ground, located in the three villages up and down of a small river, the ancestors have used this river to water the ground for generations, although the amount of water in the river is not large, only one opening at a time, but there were few conflicts before, a few days ago a village downstream went back to a strong man who had been out for many years, seeing that the weather was about to freeze and the amount of water in the river was getting less and less, and many places in his own village had not been filled with water, dead man",
Zheng Yan nodded and said softly, "Understood",
Deng Nan smiled and said, "Don't you really want to go with me?" Your vision and pattern are rare in this world, I believe it will be very suitable for you,
Zheng Yan shook his head with a smile, and then asked curiously, "Don't you say that you can't walk up and down casually?
Deng Nan chuckled and said, "There is no absolute heaven in the world, there are profits and losses, many forces and factions in the heavenly realm have their own secret access channels, but the connection conditions are different, but the price is indeed not small." This gourd is good, you can store magic weapons after refining, and it can also hold a lot of water, well, this water is a little special",
Zheng Yan was a little strange, and couldn't help but say, "Whether it is Nasumeru in mustard seeds, or boiling mountains and rivers in the sleeves, these secret methods have been lost", and then he was a little sudden, there must still be a heavenly realm,
As soon as I figured it out, I saw Deng Nan holding up the gourd with one hand, the white light rising in his hand, and the iron hook silver painting in the other hand began to engrave runes on the gourd's body, as the sacrifice progressed, some small dark cracks began to appear around the gourd, Zheng Yan opened his eyes wide and wanted to see something through the cracks, but his eyes seemed to be swallowed and there was nothing to do.
As time passed, swirling electric light began to appear on the gourd, and soon the cracks disappeared, as if they were patched by lightning cracks, Zheng Yan saw that his eyes were full of amazement, forgetting the existence of time.
The electric light is all condensed into the gourd, everything stops, Deng Nan's last stroke is connected with the lines drawn before, and a white light and shadow floats on the skin of the entire gourd, there are Buddha chanting and immortals watching the clouds, there are towering mountains and surging rivers and seas, there seem to be some strange creatures hidden in the mountains, rivers and seas, Deng Nan handed the gourd to Zheng Yan, who was still a little unable to return to his senses, and seemed to have some thoughts.
Zheng Yan noticed that Deng Nan's figure was a little swaying, not like an illusion, and was about to say something when Deng Nan raised his hand to stop him, "I have been here for a short time, and I don't know much about many things, can you easily answer it?"
Zheng Yan nodded and said, "I know everything,
Deng Nan smiled, thought for a while, and muttered, "When did Buddhism first appear here? Well, that's what you call Middle-earth."
If Zheng Yan would definitely say that it was three thousand years ago, he was a little suspicious after staying in the Ten Thousand Buddha Immortal Caves for more than ten days, because there are several Buddha statues that they say have a history of at least 5,000 years, and Zheng Yan has repeatedly checked the material of those stone statues, which is indeed unique to the local area, and it is impossible to carve it elsewhere and then transport it to the past, but all the written records say that Buddhism appeared in Middle Earth for the first time three thousand years ago, and the first temple is located near the White Tiger Gate in Luoyang City, although it has been rebuilt several times.
told Deng Nan what he mastered, Deng Nan just nodded, thought about it and asked, "You said before that these secret methods have been lost, are there any other lost secret methods?"
Zheng Yan nodded and said, "There are a lot, such as mediating creation, reversing yin and yang, resurrecting the dead, the law of heaven and earth, leakage, fate, turning stones into gold, soaring clouds and fog, changes, etc."
Deng Nan chuckled and said, "There are some people who don't know even in the Heavenly Realm, many of them are the methods of Da Luo Jin Immortal, and now there are a few relatively large ones in the world besides the Soul Gathering Land in Fengyan Continent?"
Zheng Yan said directly, "Four, all of them are a hundred miles in size, far worse than Fengyanzhou, one is in Liangchuan in the southwest, one is in Dongou in the southeast, and one is in Nanjiang in the south of Jingye, and the last one is in the east of Dazhou, except for Liangchuan, which is naturally formed, the others are all artificially made."
Deng Nan thought about it and asked a strange question, "How many spirit clans are left?"
Zheng Yan forgot to answer for a while because he was stunned, the word "Spirit Clan" almost does not appear in all the documents in the world, but Zheng Yan just knew, and it was indeed from an ancient book, it was a collection of books in an old book pavilion next to the ancestral hall of the clan land.
Deng Nan asked again, "What about the Gi clan? There are also three demons, carving veins?"
Zheng Yan came back to his senses and said with a reluctant smile, "I have heard of the Spirit Clan, there should not be many people in the world now, it basically died out three thousand years ago, or it is constantly fused with the human race, and there is no longer the original ability, the Yi clan is said to live in seclusion outside the wilderness, as for the three demon carving veins, I have never heard of it, if there are any, it should also exist outside the wilderness, according to the records of the Wild Clan, there are indeed many living beings outside the wilderness, very powerful, even the Wild Race dare not go deep there, do they have anything special?"
Deng Nan nodded and said softly, "Immortals have many enemies, the demon race is just one of them, in order to fight against these enemies, the immortals began to study them very early, including their body bloodline cultivation methods, one day in the sky and one year on earth, the immortals don't have much time to wait for a certain result, so they brought some captured enemies to the world, and the world is also the closest to the origin of the creation of our world, so these races were born, most of them have some special abilities",
Zheng Yan hummed lightly, and said calmly, "I know, the integration and handsome selection of different races, the human race used to do this",
Deng Nan seemed to sense Zheng Yan's displeasure, or dissatisfaction, and thought about it and said softly." Heaven and earth are not benevolent to all things as dogs, so for all things in the world is nothing can be relied on with peace of mind and give up forging ahead, comfort will eventually lead to destruction, only continuous prosperity is the only hope to live, the immortals not only use the world as a test ground to explore the powerful mysteries of the enemy, but also to spur mortals, of course, they also did the backhand, that is, the spirit race, they were originally the aborigines of the heavenly realm, and later were subdued by the immortals, and then they were sent down to protect the human race with the Wu clan, I came down this time mainly to investigate the current situation in the world, but the people who led me were mortals, they obtained some subtle inheritance of the Wu clan, and they did not find the spirit clan and did not find the Gi clan, I didn't find the three demon carving veins, the Wu clan is almost extinct, the world is *easy, everyone dreams and finds pleasure, too dependent on their own cleverness, too dependent on power, forgetting that they still have a body, forgetting that they can still pick up swords and guns",
Zheng Yan didn't understand, but from Deng Nan, he saw the compassion he saw in Mu Hanyang's memory before, it was the precariousness under the war, the sadness of the easy passing of life, and the desperate pity for the people around him, he lived in the war, Zheng Yan suddenly understood him, but he still couldn't help but ask, "Is there war in the heavenly realm?"
Deng Nan took his eyes off the flames, looked at Zheng Yan and smiled calmly, "Never stopped,
At this time, Zheng Yan finally believed in those legends about the battle between immortals and demons, which may be the truth of Deng Nan's grabbing water for irrigation.
Deng Nan looked at his somewhat shallow hand and said softly, "I can't leave the range of 10,000 miles from the altar after I come down, so I haven't been out of Middle Earth, and I may not have been out of your Great Zhou, I asked a lot of people to inquire, but there is really no news, and then I came to Luoyang, the capital of your country, and I didn't ask clearly, but fortunately I met you",
Zheng Yan thought for a while and asked seriously, "How long can Mr. stay in the world?"
"A quarter of an hour!",
Zheng Yan glanced at the gourd in his hand and was a little ashamed, so he didn't have time to help him investigate anything, Deng Nan looked at it in his eyes and said with a smile, "It's okay, even if you know from you, you can go back to the business, the road to ascension will definitely open again, I will wait for you in the Shenlei Jade Mansion",
Zheng Yan smiled reluctantly, and still didn't have any thoughts about Feisheng, and then asked curiously, "The first time we met was at the gate of the Chen family's old mansion, does Mr. have anything to do with the Chen family?"
Deng Nan suddenly remembered something when he heard this, looked at Zheng Yan and said seriously, "Among my colleagues, there is a Chen clan member who soared three thousand six hundred years ago, he knew that I was going down before he died in battle, and told me to help him investigate whether he still has a clan inheritance, before he ascended, he left a book of heaven in the family, I am afraid that future generations will not understand it, let me teach it, I didn't find that book of heaven, the descendants of the Chen family only found a pair of brothers and sisters, they don't know these things at all, I heard that you are the prince of the Great Zhou, can you help me do this?",
Zheng Yan thought about it quickly, nodded and agreed, Deng Nan turned his head to look outside and said, "I know that you are not happy to fight all the way, if you can also agree to this matter, I will use all the remaining Lei Yuan to accompany you to fight",
When Zheng Yan was surprised, the stones piled up at the door automatically floated and scattered, and a peerless beautiful man walked out of the darkness, shining brightly and exceeding the standard, Zheng Yan bit the word "beautiful man" in his heart to express his dissatisfaction with this guy.
Zheng Nanzhu looked at Deng Nan and said indifferently, "It's my business",
Deng Nan smiled and stood up, seemed to suddenly become tall and majestic, and was a little proud, turned his back to Zheng Nanzhu and looked at Zheng Yan and said, "Those two children should still be in the old mansion of the Chen family, I have asked your grandfather to help take care of them, and now I will give you the method of interpreting the Book of Heaven, and by the way, I will give you some meeting gifts",
As he spoke, he pointed at Zheng Yan's eyebrows, and Zheng Yan only had time to sigh in his heart, "Come again?!", and then the white light like a tide rushed into his consciousness, the golden "ribbon" composed of light words, the mysterious runes, the earth-shattering battles, the pages of the book turned over, and finally only a silver thunderous Ming King's Dharma Body stood between heaven and earth.
Zheng Yan sat on top of King Ming's head, watching the two people below fight fiercely, Zheng Nanzhu just slashed and stabbed, Deng Nan controlled the endless thunder and lightning like a silver snake dancing, sometimes turning into a thunder sword, sometimes turning into a thunder spear, and would also melt himself into the thunder and lightning, truly earth-shattering ghosts and gods, Zheng Yan never imagined that the thunder method could be so strong, compared to Deng Xingjian and his master's thunder law is simply like a drizzle, and the thunder in the summer thunderstorm weather is not enough.
Consciousness returned to the bonfire again, Zheng Yan was still reminiscing about the thunderstorm when Deng Nan's body finally dissipated, the incandescent was as dazzling as the scorching sun, and the sound of the explosion made the spirit flutter and loosen.
Zheng Nanzhu sat in the position where Deng Nan was sitting before, looked at the bonfire lightly and did not make a sound, the two sleeves were gone, and there were still many red and black scorch marks on the white arms, and when he saw Zheng Yan looking at himself, he said indifferently, "Do you believe what he said?"
Zheng Yan replied to the question, "Legend has it that the Heavenly Realm is divided into thirty-six layers, which one is the Divine Thunder Jade Mansion? The last time the human world ascended was the Purple Immortal True Person of the Lingxiao Sect three hundred years ago, it is said that he picked up a leak, and there should have been no ascension for thousands of years except him, right? There were still a lot of them a thousand years ago, but Mr. Deng didn't seem to know much about the things of a thousand years ago."
Zheng Nanzhu didn't say anything, Zheng Yan guessed that he was probably thinking about how to go up to the immortals to fight, or those who could kill the immortals, it was really boring.
"It's quite boring," Zheng Nanzhu said indifferently.
