314, Ancient Secrets
Zhang Jiao was extremely curious about the secret of Chu He's ascension realm, or rather coveted it.
Although for a true genius, it is not surprising that the level below the fifth grade is broken through once a year, such as Zhang Jiao, who has already become a fourth-grade bachelor at the age of twelve, promoted to a fifth-grade university scholar at the age of fifteen, and a sixth-grade Xuanying Confucian at the age of twenty.
But even if Zhang Jiao was reincarnated and re-cultivated, with the help of the countless resources accumulated in his previous life, it would take him thirteen years to be promoted from the sixth-grade Xuanying realm to the seventh-grade national scholar.
Until now, after more than 50 years of penance at the level of the Seventh-Rank Nationalist, Zhang Jiao is still only in the Seventh-Rank Extreme Realm, unable to peek into the mystery of the Eight-Rank Pure Yang Realm.
Zhang Jiao believes that in the whole world, there are definitely only a handful of people who can compare with him in terms of improvement speed.
Compared to Chu He now, Zhang Jiao's conceited cultivation speed can simply make people feel ashamed!
Hearing Zhang Jiao ask about Chu He's cultivation, Zhang Ning couldn't help but have a look of confusion in his eyes, shook his head and said, "Although I have been in Changding Township for a long time, I don't have much time to meet Chu He. ”
"Except for the retreat impact realm during this time, the rest of the time Chu He's life is an abnormal law. ”
Although Zhang Ning was enlightened by Zhang Jiao, remembered the events of her previous life, and had to be guided by Zhang Jiao to have the current cultivation realm, she and Zhang Jiao are not in a master-apprentice relationship, more similar to father and daughter.
Although the status of the saint of the Yellow Turban Army is below Zhang Jiao, it is definitely above 10,000 people under one person, even if she is alone with Zhang Jiao, her posture does not need to be too low.
Zhang Ning groaned and said: "According to my judgment, Chu He cultivates for about two hours a day, and then he handles official business, inspects or personally trains the army, and convenes generals and officials. ”
"The realm of Chu River has improved extremely rapidly, he started practicing martial arts at the age of eight, and it has only been eight years since then, he is already at the peak level of the sixth grade, and his combat power is comparable to the peak god of war, which is really terrifying, especially since he is still a fellow practitioner of civil and military affairs!"
"I suspect that Chu He not only has an overlord martial courage, but also a martial courage and literary heart that assists in cultivation, and can always devour the Heaven and Earth Yuan Force to improve his cultivation, otherwise it would be impossible to have such a promotion speed. ”
"In addition, Chu He's cultivation is the Eight Rank Heavenly Xuan True Scripture, the Nine Absolute Overlord Spear, and the unheard of Golden Bell Jar!"
Zhang Jiao quietly listened to Zhang Ning talk about the situation of Chu He, and finally shook his head slightly and said, "Chu He has indeed cultivated the Tianxuan True Scripture. But the Tianxuan True Classic is just an ordinary eight-grade exercise, and it is far from being comparable to the three great books. ”
"With the Heavenly Xuan True Scripture alone, you will never be able to have such cultivation speed and combat power. ”
At the beginning, Qin Shengnan did everything possible to keep the secret of the Tianxuan True Canon, but it was just because her level and vision were too low, in the eyes of super powerhouses like Zhang Jiao, the Tianxuan True Canon was actually not much different from other third- and fourth-grade exercises.
Zhang Jiao's eyes kept flashing different colors, as if there were thousands of hexagrams turning, and his voice became more and more muffled.
"Originally, my father thought that the golden bell jar was just a method to temper the army, although I attached great importance to it, but now my father knows that it is wrong!"
He took a deep breath, and his eyes were unprecedentedly solemn: "This golden bell jar is by no means an ordinary horizontal practice method, but an incomparably advanced internal refining method, my father suspects that the golden bell jar is even the supreme nine-rank supreme exercise!"
Zhang Ning couldn't help but be stunned: "Heavenly Lord actually thinks that the Golden Bell Jar is the supreme method?"
"If it is really the legendary Nine Rank Exercises, how can Chu He teach it to the army to practice?"
Zhang Jiao suddenly spread out his palm, and Zhang Ning saw that his palm was successively cyan, blue-gray, gray and iron-gray, and finally faintly metallic.
"This duke sent a lot of people into the Changding Army, but most of them quickly lost contact, and only one of them had a double heart and two souls, and the meticulous work of the two souls was passed back to the triple golden bell jar cultivation method. ”
Zhang Jiao paused slightly, and then sighed again: "But after the Triple Golden Bell Jar Method came back, this person also lost news. The fourth layer of iron and stone is still obtained by the Hidden Abyss Guard, who personally took action and captured a four-fold golden bell jar. ”
"Ben Gong has to admire this Chu River, his control over the army is so terrifying, even if Ben Gong uses many means, he can't get the news from the other party's mouth, and finally has to use the soul search Dafa to get the cultivation method of iron and stone body. ”
"Even under the Great Law of Soul Searching, that Qianyuan Wei also showed extremely strong resistance, and he couldn't make him betray Chu He, listen to my orders!"
Zhang Ning frowned slightly: "Isn't Tiangong afraid of being discovered by Chu He?"
However, even if Chu He really learned that Zhang Jiao had obtained the Golden Bell Jar Quadruple Cultivation Technique, he would not be surprised.
Before the development of the Changding Army, without attracting the attention of many powerful people, the secret of the Golden Bell Jar could still be preserved, but at this time, it was a fool's dream to keep the secret of the Golden Bell Jar.
Zhang Jiao shook his head and said: "My father finally erased this person's memory and let him go, even if there are occasional memories, it should be a dream." ”
"It's a pity that the fivefold exercise method of the Golden Bell Jar, only the general of the Standing Ding Army is qualified to practice, and it is difficult for the soul searching Dafa to have an effect on a strong person in such a realm, and a bad one will even backfire on the soul of this father. ”
Zhang Ning's eyes flashed with a different color: "Since Tiangong has obtained the Quadruple Golden Bell Jar Method, wouldn't we be able to train an army of Golden Bell Jars?"
Zhang Jiao sighed: "The golden bell jar is indeed extremely mysterious, the cultivation is simple, but the effect is extremely amazing, it only took me a year to cultivate the golden bell jar to the iron and stone body, and the body is hidden loose, and it is closer to the eight-rank realm!"
"Ordinary martial artists, if they take the Golden Bell Jar as their main cultivation method, compared to other exercises, the realm can be doubled faster!"
"It's a pity that the golden bell jar needs the assistance of medicine to greatly speed up the speed of improvement, but Chu He has a very strict control over the medicine, and the pills distributed to the soldiers are all taken on the spot, and a lot of medicinal materials should be added to confuse the ears and eyes, even the prince can't know the pills. ”
"If you only cultivate with ordinary methods, you will spend too many resources, and it will be difficult to achieve the three-grade realm. ”
Zhang Ning thought for a moment: "Tiangong thinks that the golden bell jar is a nine-rank exercise? Doesn't it mean that the nine-rank exercise is only in legends, and no one has ever practiced it? Could it be that the nine-rank overlord gun is really a nine-grade exercise?"
Zhang Jiao shook his head: "The Nine Rank Exercises definitely exist, but the Nine Absolute Overlord Spears are not the Nine Rank Exercises, but only the killing methods of the Eight Rank Extreme Realm." ”
"The real supreme nine-grade method is only the lost Tao Te Ching!"
Zhang Ning's eyes widened: "The Tao Te Ching is a nine-grade exercise?"
Zhang Jiao nodded and said: "The Tao Te Ching is the first of all the classics in the world, even if it is the three great strange books, the Taiping Qing Lingshu, the Dunjia Heavenly Book and the Huangting Neijing Sutra, they can't be compared. The Tao Te Ching is the only supreme method known today!"
"It is also because of the loss of the Tao Te Ching, the Taiping Qing Collar Book of this Duke is qualified to be called the three great strange books in the world. ”
Zhang Ning had never heard such a secret before, so he couldn't help but ask in surprise: "In that case, why is the Tao Te Ching lost?"
There was also a trace of confusion in Zhang Jiao's eyes, and finally he sighed: "This problem is that my father can't solve it." ”
"For a long time, there has been a legend among the seven-rank god of war, the national soldier, and the eight-rank divine general and the peerless national soldier. ”
"Legend has it that the world is divided into three worlds: heaven, earth and man, the realm of the undead, the realm of people in Kyushu, and the realm of gods and spirits. ”
"If the creatures of the Kyushu human realm can cultivate to the Nine Rank Extreme Realm, they can shatter the void and fly to the heavenly realm, and they will last forever. ”
Zhang Jiao seemed to fall into a memory, and seemed to be talking to himself: "In ancient times, the gods regarded the people as grass mustard, and came to the land of Kyushu at will, wantonly slaughtering the creatures of Kyushu. ”
"Many sages in the human world of Kyushu rose up to resist, and there was an incomparably terrible battle with the heavenly realm, and many sages who were comparable to the gods led the seven or eight strong people in the human race and the demon race to challenge the authority of the gods. In the end, countless sages fell, hundreds of schools of thought perished, and the strength of the human world was greatly reduced. ”
"The sages of the Kyushu human world, the strength is so strong that they can slaughter gods and kill immortals, and the two worlds are in a big battle, and both sides have suffered heavy casualties. ”
"There are many sacred beings in the gods and heavens, and after seeing the tragic consequences, they know that fighting again will only bring heavier casualties, and with their efforts, the last two define the armistice covenant, close the passage of the two realms, and the gods cannot descend to earth, and the Kyushu human realm has also destroyed all the exercises that can be promoted to the Nine Rank Extreme Realm. ”
"The Tao Te Ching is the only Nine Grades of Gong that has not been destroyed, but unfortunately, in the end, the Tao Te Ching has also lost its trace. ”
Speaking of this, Zhang Jiao's face suddenly changed, as if he remembered something, and an incomparably sharp cold light suddenly appeared in his eyes, which made Zhang Ning's heart tremble.
"The martial arts techniques practiced by Chu He are the Tianxuan True Canon, the Nine Absolute Overlord Spears, and even the Golden Bell Jar that I don't know the grade, but Chu He's fellow civil and military practitioners, what is the Wendao Exercises?"
Zhang Ning gasped: "Heavenly Gong wouldn't think that Chu He's cultivation of the Wendao method is the Tao Te Ching?"
Zhang Jiao didn't speak for a long time, as if he was in deep thought, and after a full cup of tea, he turned his gaze to Zhang Ning, and there was a rare hint of kindness: "Ning'er, although my father is not your teacher, he regards you as a child." ”
"My father has asked you to do many things before, but they are all for the great cause of Kyushu, and now I want you to do one thing for my father. ”
Zhang Ning nodded and said, "Tiangong, please speak!"
Zhang Jiao said slowly: "Ning Er never remembered that my father-in-law said that what Meng Shu could give to Chu He, my father-in-law could also afford it!"
"My father hopes that you can marry Chu He and try to get the Wen Dao Gong Gong you have cultivated from Chu He, as well as the Golden Bell Method!"
Zhang Ning's face couldn't help but hesitate a little: "Even if I marry Chu He, but if I cultivate the method like this, how can Chu He easily leak it to me?"
Zhang Jiao said in a deep voice: "If it doesn't work in one year, it will be ten years, and if it doesn't work in ten years, it will take fifty years or a hundred years, and my father can afford to wait!"
"My father can see that Chu He is a person who values friendship, as long as you marry Chu He and think about him wholeheartedly, he will definitely put his heart to you!"
Zhang Jiao's expression became extremely serious, and he looked deeply at Zhang Ning's eyes on the veil: "In the future, even if you are an enemy of this father for the sake of Chu River, or even destroy the Yellow Turban Army, this father will not blame you, only ask you to agree to this matter!"
Zhang Ning's beautiful face couldn't help but be a little flustered, his mouth opened and closed, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Ning'er is a little messy in her heart, can Tiangong let me think about it for a few days?"
Zhang Jiao nodded slightly: "I hope Ning'er will not disappoint my father." ”
When Zhang Jiao and Zhang Ning were talking about the Chu River, Yonghong, Gao Ding and others also got together.
The impact of Chu He's repulsion of Zhuge Wolong was too great, and Yonghong Gaoding and others had to pay great attention to it.
Subsequently, there was a high-standard envoy group of 500 people on the Yizhou side, with generous gifts, and set off in the direction of Tianshui County.
Zhao Zilong, who was far away in the northern frontier of Shu and was at war with the Great Wei army, looked at the seven-grade transmission talisman he had just received in his hand, and almost thought that he had seen the wrong eye.
If among the Three Kingdoms, who knows Zhuge Liang's combat power best, Zhao Zilong is definitely among the top five.
Zhuge Liang's most valued general is definitely Zhao Zilong, and the other Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, Ma Chao, etc., are far from being comparable to Zhao Yun in Zhuge Wolong's heart.
For Zhuge Wenxiang, who is dedicated to supporting the Han family, what is most important is Zhao Zilong's loyal and courageous character, and only Zhao Zilong will save Liu Chan in and out of Changbanpo seven times in and seven out.
The generals under Zhao Zilong were also very surprised, and they really couldn't believe what the messenger said.
Those who are qualified to see this messenger are naturally the most important generals, and they are also qualified to know the true situation of Zhuge Liang's battle with Chu He.
Zhang Yi, the Taishou of Shu County, was the number two person in the army, and after reading the summons, he said to Zhao Zilong in disbelief: "General Zhao, what kind of character is this Chu River? Can it resist the divine power of Zhuge Wenxiang? It also caused a great obstacle to Wenxiang's southward rebellion?"
Wu Yi, Marquis of Duting, was also surprised and said: "Now our army is fighting fiercely with the Wei army, and the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Wei army are the most elite army, how can they be repelled in a short time!"
The generals discussed one after another, and Zhao Zilong finally raised his hand slightly to stop everyone from discussing: "Wen Xiang has a strategic mind, so he naturally knows the importance of things, if there are more than internal troubles, it will be difficult for external troubles to subside." ”
He paused slightly, and said in an unquestioning deep voice: "General Ben has decided that all the generals will gather their troops and horses and fight a decisive battle with the Great Wei army within a month. ”
"After driving the Wei army out of the border, Zhang Taishou and Wu Duting led the army to garrison here, and they would have rushed to the southern frontier of the empire at the behest of Prime Minister Wen, and they would meet this Chu River and Chu Qianyuan for a while!"
Although Zhao Zilong has a peaceful personality, those who know him well know Zhao Zilong's true character, once a decision is made, he will not allow others to oppose it, and only Zhuge Wenxiang can dissuade him.
Now it was Zhuge Wenxiang who ordered Zhao Zilong to rush to the battlefield in the southern part of the empire, and everyone present knew that it was impossible to persuade Zhao Zilong, so they could only leave one after another, make preparations before the war, and speed up the process of the decisive battle with the Wei army.
Chu He has not really met Zhuge Liang and Zhao Zilong, so he attracted the killing intent of these two pillars of the Shu Kingdom.
At this time, he was meeting with the two leaders of the arsenal, Chu Qianzhong and Zhuang Zhongneng, to inquire about the construction of armor.
The time has come for Zhang Ning to deliver the armor, and the Changding Army has expanded the army, and after training, the new guards who have officially become an army are also in urgent need of supplements.
Chu He also made a decision to personally lead the army and go to Tongtian River.
I just saw the reward of the Snow Traceless Brothers, thank you! I hope the brothers have a good New Year!
