At the bend of Fuso Kyoto's famous scenic spot "Blue Sea Silver Beach", there stands a centuries-old brick and wood mixed restaurant. It was almost one o'clock in the morning, there were few tourists on the beach, and there were few diners in the restaurant.

Man Jianghong alone occupies a table by the window on the second floor of the "Liuyue Building", on which sashimi, seafood, ingredients, soup, tea, and several empty wine bottles are placed in large and small plates.

The reason why I came here to eat and drink was because Long Tian said a sentence in passing when he taught "Nine Turns of the Divine Dragon", the cuisine of Liuyuelou in Kyoto was quite good, and at the request of Longtang, he also taught Yanagi Jingyun, the eldest son of the Yanagi family, a trick "Kanglong has regrets".

Taste sake, enjoy the bright moon, and the breeze is coming.

Brother Jiang'er's thoughts were flying.

Hehe, weird, it seems that the widow Liu Sheng Jingyun is so-so and has a dime to do with himself. It's like a brother, but the dragons will never admit it.

Old Man Long knows about Liuyue Tower, and must have been here. At that time, it may be surrounded by many people, and the major families are trying their best to make friends, and the scene is very lively. He said that the food was quite good, but he did not have the wonderful taste of "heaven and earth", presumably people are different, and the things served are also different.

The moon is poopy, and the Chinese Eight Immortals table is actually placed in the Fusang Restaurant, and the sushi is actually rice dumplings, which used to be really lonely and unheard of.

The sake is bland, soft in the mouth, slightly sour and slightly sweet, very much like eating the rice wine made by my grandmother when I was a child.

Homesickness was secretly born, and after Manjianghong dried three bottles in a row, it was called three bottles.

The waiter who delivered the wine was secretly speechless, bowing his head and contemptuous. Sake has a low alcohol content, and tourists often treat it as a drink. But I didn't know that once I drank too much, I would get drunk to the dark, which was worse than spirits.

There is only one guest on the second floor, but there is a waiter at the staircase, and he is not responsible for serving food. Seeing that a "temporarily closed" sign with multi-national characters was erected behind the other party, and before coming in, he saw the fourth floor dimly lit, and Man Jianghong understood in seconds that this product was temporarily acting as a security guard. There are obviously dignitaries and dignitaries on the roof, and idlers are exempted.

Ya Sanwei didn't sleep in the middle of the night, and ran to the roof of the building muttering that she was sick.

Man Jianghong's curiosity came up and he listened intently.

It had been quiet at night, but after he had exercised, the distant sound of cars and the crashing of nearby waves had quietly disappeared behind the scenes, except for the whispers of wooden planks at intervals.

The two middle-aged men on the roof of the building both spoke ordinary Chinese Mandarin and had a soft accent admonished:

"Liu Shengjun, you have to take care of the overall situation and don't be impulsive. Today, I have seen several demonstrations demanding that His Excellency Koizumi apologize for his crimes, and I have received dozens of messages about smashing, looting, and burning against the Chinese. The situation is becoming more and more chaotic, and the police are simply powerless. Although the Koizumi cabinet swayed from side to side, its control over the government was weak, and the decrees could not leave the Prime Minister's Office, the general direction was still in favor of the Earth Federation. Once the situation is completely out of control, the cabinet collapses, and the army marches into Kyoto to suppress it, Tokugawa Yasu will inevitably take the opportunity to establish a military government, clamoring for secession from the Earth Federation and the implementation of militarism. ”

Another man with a hard, slower accent asked:

"Impossible. What age is it, doesn't he be a good minister of military aircraft, and wants to close off the country, be a shogun, and dictate the daimyo behind closed doors?"

Judging from his recent series of actions, this is indeed the case, and it must be guarded against. On the surface, it is under the banner of nationalism, but in reality it is populism. The Black Dragon Society is a dog that has been raised by the military for many years, so why was it released this time to fan the flames and bite everywhere? It was because the Fuso military was under pressure from disarmament and tried to create a great chaos to force the Koizumi cabinet to resign, and the army was naturally marched into Kyoto to impose martial law. It's just that Tokugawa Yasu has somewhat retained a bit of the ancient spirit of bushido, has a good face, and doesn't want to bear the infamy of 'coup', otherwise he would have appeared on the stage a long time ago. ”

"It's interesting, I've done so much for you, and every time I don't let you know the inside story, I'll tell me now. Hahaha, things won't be that simple! Fu Peng, you don't understand the spirit of bushido. If it is really as you said, Tokugawa Yasu is gathering momentum, then there will be no way back, and it is better to be broken than to be whole. This time, even Longtang couldn't solve the problem, so he could only do some tinkering and stability maintenance work. The federal government is definitely operating at a higher level, but you and I don't know. Once my fish is dead and the net is broken, the situation will be even more confused, and Long Tang will have no choice but to bear the blame...... However, what does it have to do with me who comes to power? It didn't happen to you, of course you don't have a backache when you stand and talk, and you just talk about calm, calm. I fucking calm down! No matter what kind of federalism you have, the world is the same, all I know is that Yokota Oka killed my brother Feiyu, and the Black Dragon Society is going to annex the Yagyu family. ”

"Yanagi Jingyun, what do you want to do? If the military comes to power, you will be the first to liquidate. If you can't destroy Yokota Oka in the ring, do you want to gamble the fate of the entire family and have a large-scale bloody private fight with the Black Dragon Society? This is not revenge, it is a moth to the fire, and it is to give people a handle. The other party is trying to make the situation bigger, and I can't wait for you to rush forward. There is an old saying in China called 'drawing wages from the bottom of the pot', which means that in order to prevent the water from boiling in the pot, the firewood at the bottom of the pot is pumped away. You'd rather like to add a piece of wood into it. It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. The crown prince personally promised that within two years, he would uproot the Black Dragon Society and kill Yokotaoka. ”

"Ah, the prince really said that?"

......

Hearing the word "prince", Man Jianghong suddenly woke up to the fact that the man named "Fu Peng" must be from Longtang, and the other one was undoubtedly Liu Sheng Jingyun, the head of the Liu Sheng family.

The real name of the "crown prince" is An Ruyi, and his father is the president of China who initiated the five permanent members to gather in New York to discuss the sword of the starry sky, which contributed to the establishment of the later Earth Federation, served as the first president, and was honored as the father of the Federation.

The Federal Special Affairs Bureau was established on the basis of the original Huaxia Longtang, so it was also referred to as Longtang, and the director An Ruyi was honored as the crown prince. A top-level secrecy agency like it does not have matters such as openness and publicity, and the more low-key it is, the better. Therefore, despite its fame in the rivers and lakes and the upper class, ordinary people rarely hear of it and cannot come into contact with it.

It is said that at first, Longtang only pursued two crimes: anti-human and splitting the Federation. But the scope of the later jurisdiction was far from this, and the authority was staggering, a bit like the Jinyi Wei of the Ming Dynasty. Of course, the federal government, as the first nascent unified power on earth, has a solid foundation, and it is indeed in need of such an iron-blooded institution to maintain it.

Hearing Fu Peng and Liu Sheng Jingyun talking about "big things", Man Jianghong was not interested.

Thinking under the heavy proposition of human extinction, wars between countries have become children's games. Just as Zhou Yi stood under the eternal temptation of "cultivating immortals" and thought about it, the struggle for imperial power between Emperor Jianwen and Zhu Di, the king of Yan, was nothing more than a "mole ant game ear".

What's more, Man Jianghong heard that Liu Sheng Jingyun was not as impulsive as he said. Just kidding, how can the head of the family be a young man? He is acting angry, acting grievances, like a child threatening to say, "If you don't give me candy, I'll break the jar." And the guy named Fu Peng obviously understands that both soft and hard work is not leaky.

They talk about high-sounding things, but in essence they are still making deals, bargaining, and gambling. It is only that there are many common interests between the two sides, so there is no fierce conflict.

During the two days of the Dragon cruise, Man Jianghong consulted a lot of information about Fusang, and knew that the political situation here was indeed unstable and anti-Chinese sentiment was high, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China had just issued a travel safety warning for this. Yesterday afternoon, after Su Guoer, Li Mei and others went ashore, they were also besieged and provoked by populists. If it weren't for the fact that China had become stronger, it would have been impossible to understand the incident of the direct massacre of Chinatown by foreigners more than 100 years ago.

Yokota Oka is known as the number one master in the ring under the stars, and Brother Xiaoman deliberately watched a limited number of videos of the other party, and he felt that he was not much stronger than Bai Qi on Tamashi Island. However, they must not have done their best, and the video was shot a few years ago, so I can't count. The only thing that made him curious was what kind of thing was the body of the gods and ghosts that was boasted of being gods, could it be stronger than the golden body of the Nine Revolutions of the Divine Dragon?

When Long Tian taught Liu Sheng Jingyun a trick "Kanglong has regrets", he should not have taught the mental method, so the copycat version of "Kanglong has regrets" is definitely not far behind the genuine version.

However, when Long Tian taught Man Jianghong, he explained the mental method carefully, but he only made three simple comparisons about the moves, and his attitude was not particularly serious.

The first move "Dragon Fighting in the Wild" is the method of melee, the second move "Kang Long has regrets" belongs to the method of Jedi counterattack, and the third move "Dragon Roar Nine Days" is the most incredible, which is a combination of sound waves, true qi, internal force and spiritual power of the attack method, very similar to the Buddhist magic "Lion's Roar".

These three moves are not the methods of battle, Man Jianghong strongly suspects that they were developed by Long Tian himself, and Bing Ling did not mention it when he explained the "Nine Turns of the Divine Dragon". What's more, "this is not the law of the world", the purpose is to "resonate with heaven and earth, and nine turns to soar", where is the leisure to tell you how to fight?

As a great master of martial arts, why didn't Long Tian come up with a set of righteous fist techniques according to his mental method? After practicing the "Nine Turns of the Divine Dragon", the strength, sensitivity, strength, speed, etc. of the body far exceed ordinary people, and every move has great power, and the moves have become the icing on the cake.

So the old man only pondered three killer moves under special circumstances. "Dragon Fighting in the Wild" is used in group fights, "Kanglong has regrets" is used when being forced into a corner, and "Dragon Roaring Nine Days" is used when you want to deter the people who eat melons.

As the Taishan Beidou of martial arts, which grade does the old man's combat effectiveness belong to?

Judging from the fact that the two elders of the South China Sea Sect who were at the sixth level of qi refining were dead and one was disabled, it was at least equivalent to the seventh layer of qi refining. If it is close to melee, I am afraid that only the monster-like eighth-layer Great Perfection of Qi Refining Chong Xiaozi can resist it. The old man was finally captured by the South China Sea faction, and he must have been in the way of spells.

From this, it can also be seen that there is really a gap between martial arts practitioners.

Long Tian, as the pinnacle of martial arts, is old and his body is decaying, and it is difficult to advance an inch. Chong Xiaozi's age is not younger than the other party, but he can impact the ninth layer of qi refining. Of course, it also has to do with their behavior and environment. Long Tian trekked through the rivers and lakes, worrying a lot and fighting a lot, so it was impossible for him to stay in a place full of spiritual energy and cultivate quietly like Chong Xiaozi.

What if a person in martial arts doesn't practice just by doing? After eating, he walks a hundred steps and lives to ninety-nine. I can only laugh at this, but I can't do it. Learn to become a literary and martial artist, and sell it to the emperor's family, which is the case in ancient and modern times. If you can't sell it, it means that your skills are low. Even if a very small number of masters don't sell, they will inevitably fight. Martial arts is a killing technique, not gymnastics to exercise the body, how can we improve our realm without going through a fight? Just using your hands and not moving your mouth is a stupid style, moving your mouth without moving your hands is a fake style, and an embroidered pillow is a bag of chaff.

Xiuzhen is more clever than martial arts at this point, pursuing "proving the way of heaven and gaining immortality". Although fighting is inevitable when going against the sky, he does not regard fighting as an end in itself, nor does he fight in the worldly life.

In terms of origin, they were born from ancient qi refining and witchcraft, and they were mixed and fused with each other, not distinct.

So after experiencing breakthroughs again and again, where has Man Jianghong's own level reached?

His practice is quite complicated and unprofessional, and he cannot be completely included in the martial arts system in terms of realm.

In terms of cultivating the truth, Zhou Luo is the master of the Taoist sect in the end of the Dharma era, and after Zhang Daoling in the Han Dynasty created the Fu Gong and Danfang, he also created a way of divine consciousness cultivation. It's a pity that Man Jiang Hongguang has practiced his divine sense, and he has only mastered six of the seven tricks of qi refining and spells, and he has no knowledge of any of them, and he can't be included in the system of cultivating true qi and refining qi.

The cultivation of divine consciousness is to the highest place, "although it is thousands of miles away, one thought is like a body", "one thought is born and the stars are destroyed"...... Compared with this standard, Brother Xiaoman could only hide his face and retreat. His current divine sense can only perform spiritual attacks at close range, sensing the state of everyone's divine soul within a hundred meters.

Thinking of this, Man Jianghong's heart moved, and he felt that the so-called power of divine consciousness, the power of thought, the power of spirit, the power of thought, etc., can all be described in a professional word: mental power.

Just as he recited the verse over Luofu Island, "The clouds are in the blue sky, the water is in the bottle, and there is no cloud in the blue sky." A thought suddenly returned to the cavity, still skinny leaning on the bed rope. ”

This thought is the thought. The ability that arises from thoughts is mindfulness.

Because he planned to fight a big war after Fusang, with an enemy country, to resist the Federation, Man Jianghong conducted intensive training on the cruise ship for two days.

The effect is not bad.

The final stage of "Nine Turns of the Divine Dragon" "Swimming in the Sea" has definitely not been reached, and the second stage of "casting the golden body" has only touched a little edge, but the "Dragon Soul" of the first stage is more condensed. Although it has not reached the point of "inward view", the control of the micro has reached a new level. Well, although Ya has never held a lancet, she doesn't need to look at a microscope to do surgery instead, and the effect is definitely very good.

The light point of the divine soul changed from yellow mixed with green lines to yellow and green, and his mental power became sharper and sharper.

The strength of the body has increased somewhat, and it seems that it is about to hit the bottleneck.

By convention, martial arts are divided into samurai, martial artists, halls, martial arts peaks, small grandmasters, grandmasters, and great grandmasters.

In terms of combat effectiveness, Brother Xiaoman is equivalent to a great grandmaster.

Xiuzhen is divided into Qi refining levels 1 to 9, and from the fourth layer onwards, there is an additional Great Perfection realm.

The true qi in Xiao Mange's body is extremely pure, but unfortunately the meridians and dantian are big funnels, and the mutated cells attached to the periphery are desperately devouring the true qi and transforming it into spiritual energy, so the breath is not full. Although the power of the spiritual energy output is many orders of magnitude greater than that of the true qi, and it can even be released in a short period of time to create the illusion that the true qi is incomparably abundant, judging from the strength of the qi in the body, it is a second layer of qi refining.

Say a thousand ways and ten thousand, these are just worldly combat power and realm.

What is after the Great Master?

What is after the Nine Layers of Qi Refining Great Perfection?

Bodhidharma, Zhang Sanfeng, and Zhou Luo belong to this level.

They are the ultimate in the human world in the era of the end of the law, and they are the transition between mortals and true immortals, called earth immortals.

Land immortals can't fly, and although the Tsukiji immortals can fly with a sword, they still have to borrow foreign objects, just like birds need air.

It shows that they can't control gravity.

There are four fundamental forces in the universe, gravitational force, electromagnetic interaction force, weak interaction force, and strong interaction force. Regardless of the gods, Buddhas, demons, immortals, and monsters, they can't escape their influence.

With gravity in hand, you can fly freely, even across the stars.

This is the watershed between mortals and immortals.

In the classics, the classification of immortals is numerous and ambiguous. Through research, Man Jianghong found that it can basically be divided into four stages: Flying Immortals, Heavenly Immortals, Xuan Immortals, and Golden Immortals, which correspond to the amount of control force and produce corresponding supernatural powers.

There are also records of ghosts and immortals in the Daozang. However, the environment of the end of the Dharma era is extremely unfavorable for the survival of "ghosts", and occasionally a few yin spirits are generated, and they have to hide in Tibet, and the day is not safe, how can they cultivate into immortals?

The ultimate immortal is the Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Da Luo means space and leisure, and Jin means immortality.

That is to say, the four forces are completely unified, and they can control matter and space.

In all myths and legends, only Taoism can cultivate immortals and mortals become gods. Dacheng Buddhism universalizes all sentient beings, and Theravada Buddhism has attained the body of an arhat at most, and its imagination is inferior. Not to mention other religions, God is God and man is man. accidentally made a half-human and half-god half-god, and often suffered a miserable life and died halfway.

Immortals have great magical powers, but they are still not gods.

What is God?

In literature, film and television works, God has become an enhanced version of the kings of the world, such as the Jade Emperor of China and Zeus of Western Europe. This is no different from telling Hanako to believe that the emperor used a golden flat pole to pick up dung.

Man Jianghong felt that God should be an existence beyond experience, at least controlling time and cause and effect.

The Buddha Shakyamuni had great magical powers, but before stepping into the heavenly realm, he admitted that there were several things that could not be changed, one of which was cause and effect. The theory of "parallel universes" that emerged two thousand years later seems to be ingenious, but it is actually lazy, precisely to avoid the law of cause and effect.

For example, if you go back in time and kill yourself, it is not causally valid. Parallel theory, on the other hand, says that you are going to another universe. Cause and effect have not changed, they have just been avoided.

The road is different, and all streams return to the sect.

All natural sciences can be reduced to physics, the ultimate of physics is mathematics, the ultimate of mathematics is philosophy, and the ultimate of philosophy is theology.

What will come after God?

After God should be the ultimate of the universe, the ultimate of all.

That's what he wants to see.

......

The sea breeze was blowing, the wine was surging, Man Jianghong deliberately did not suppress it, and gradually entered a very relaxed trance.

The whispers from the rooftop continued, and loud singing could be heard in the distance.

He turned a deaf ear, but with a single turn of thought, he could clearly recall everything and react instantly.

Fragments of thoughts float by, believing in the reins, rootless and rootless, not knowing where they start and where they end.

He knows.

There are also two samurai hidden on the third floor, and the color of the divine soul light is crimson. Although the realm is low, the spiritual power is much stronger than that of ordinary people.

Among the two martial arts pinnacles talking on the fourth floor, Liu Sheng Jingyun's Divine Soul Light Point was orange, and Fu Peng's Divine Soul Light Point was dark orange. It shows that Fu Peng's spirit is more tenacious, and the result of the negotiation will inevitably be to make the other party submit.

Fu Peng Lenovo sensed the breath of several palaces on the Youlong, and Ya happened to be one of them, so the person who found Liu Feixu was about to come out.

He was not afraid, and his thoughts flowed freely......

Longtang should never have dreamed that he was here. After using the bone shrinking technique, the height of 1.85 meters was reduced to 1.78 meters, with a broad body, dark skin, and a wig buttoned up, which was unrecognizable even when Ruge saw it.

Liu Feixu escaped across the sea without leaving the slightest trace. The tube of needle blood that broke the destroyer's antenna was harder than a steel bullet after being infused with true qi, and it would not spill a drop for people to recheck their genes. If Long Tang can fish out a small syringe in the vast sea, the moon will be sloppy, and the master will have to take it.

Longtang is not too bad, and the unity of the federation is very important.

Yokotaoka owes a beating, and Tokugawa Yasu's old goods also don't need to be cleaned up!

Partridge said that if he sent someone to pick him up, would he be the Eighteen Saints of Ita City?

What did Uncle Zhu leave behind in Dongfang City? When the Fusang matter is finished, he will pick it up.

After helping Duanmu Lang regulate his internal organs, dredge the meridians, and expel the yin qi, the old boy advanced to the sixth layer of qi refining with the help of the power of the spirit stone, and was grateful to Ling Ling for offering the jasper cicada, and almost called grandpa. Damn, I'm going to be called grandpa by a white-bearded old man, and there's no place for the young man's face. However, in the process of helping the old boy expel the yin qi, the young master also adapted to converting it into spiritual energy. It's so hard to "eat" that thing, no wonder normal people don't like it. The jasper cicada is a high-level artifact, and one day the dark ghost at the bottom of the sea can live in it, but it is disrespectful. The old boy followed to Fusang, and the spell of turning the fog into a fog with one hand was quite beautiful, and it might be useful when the time came.

I can't find Yaoji, how can I not find myself with her ability, is she grounded by the "ancient castle"?

What about the Ice Spirit?

I don't think I've been eaten by that cockroach. His father is very talkative, and Ganda is too fierce.

......

A heart-wrenching pain pulled Man Jianghong back to reality from a trance.

It was Su Guo'er's cry of horror and despair.

Since she crossed a ray of consciousness into the girl's spiritual world in the cruise casino, Man Jianghong found that she could sense her emotions at close range, which was very embarrassing.

Haiyu secretly made adjustments on this trip, and Li Mei and some of the passengers on the Youlong, including Man Jianghong and Duanmulang, who were disguised in disguise, were arranged to live in a big hotel on the street of Liuyuelou. And Li Mei and Su Guoer and Cao Charlie, Katyusha, and Sissi simply traveled together because they met on the boat. Young people are always very excited to play, and they don't sleep at this time, and they are eating barbecue on the beach more than 300 meters away from the restaurant.

Man Jianghong turned his head to look out the window, and suddenly his eyes were cracked, and he jumped up.
