Chapter 121: Four Elephants (Guaranteed, Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Yunhao country, located in the north of Qianguo, has two main landforms: plain and grassland.
The Fuchong Plain, which is close to the Qianguo, is a typical black soil, and the land is fertile, and more than 70 percent of the cities and population of Yunhao are concentrated in this area.
In the north, the Yunhao steppe is inhabited by many nomadic tribes.
It is said that thousands of years ago, the people of Yunhao were mainly nomadic herders, and later went south and occupied the Fuchong Plain, so that there is now Yunhao Kingdom.
In order to compete for the fertile Fuchong Plain, the Yunhao people fought many bloody wars with the dynasties where the Qianguo was located, and finally formed the current pattern.
From the perspective of geographical pattern, the two countries are indeed feuding.
It's just that after the Qian, the strategy was changed, no longer expecting to recapture the Fuchong Plain, and the six southeastern states were specially developed to develop maritime trade, so that there was the current Haizhou, and the prosperous trade with the Donglai Kingdom.
After nearly 20 days of travel, the Qianguo delegation finally crossed the border of Qianguo and entered the territory of Yunhaoguo.
The Liangzhou side of Qianguo is actually part of the Fuchong Plain, but it only occupies a small part.
This is still a part of the Qianguo that it has gone through great hardships to regain it.
In the Yan Dynasty before the Qianguo, Liangzhou had already been occupied by the Yunhao State for decades, until the establishment of the Qianguo State, which set off a war of nearly thirty years before Liangzhou was recaptured.
At this moment, it is just the time when the grain crops are about to be harvested.
Entering the territory of Yunhao Country, I only saw that the earth was full of golden yellow, which was a patch of cloud wheat, about to wait for a bumper harvest.
Many farmers in Yunhao are already working in the wheat fields.
"Lord Wang, this was once the land of our dry people, how fertile, these Yunhao people are just robbers, but now they occupy a good land."
In a nearby carriage, an old man pointed to the golden wheat field, and his words were filled with resentment.
This person is Zhao Xun, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, who served as the deputy envoy of the mission.
Ye Cheng was silent and didn't say anything.
It's been lost for nearly a thousand years, what else can you say?
Seven days later, the Qianguo delegation finally arrived at the Lingxiao City of Yunhao Kingdom.
This Lingxiao City is located on the only mountain in the Fuchong Plain.
In fact, it is a hill several hundred meters high.
The outer city surrounded the whole mountain, and the inner city was built along the mountain.
The Imperial City is directly on the mountain.
Therefore, the Imperial City is the highest position in Lingxiao City, which can overlook the entire Lingxiao City.
It is said that the Lingxiao Palace, where the court meeting is held, is the highest place in the entire Lingxiao City.
As soon as the Qianguo delegation entered Lingxiao City, they felt strong hostility.
It is said that Yun Haoguo has a strong folk style, and it is true, and warriors wearing weapons abound on the streets.
Even ordinary people carry weapons to defend themselves.
The place where Yun Haoguo placed the mission was called Yunjie Pavilion.
Compared with the Wanguo Pavilion in Qianguo, this Yunjie Pavilion is relatively simple.
As soon as the Qianguo delegation arrived at the Yunjie Pavilion, Grandmaster Qinglan, who had arrived in Yunhao Country first, invited them to a small gathering.
Ye Cheng knew this Qinglan's intentions.
The birth of each Grand Master will inevitably pose a great threat to the countries of this region.
Let's just say that the Yuanling Empire and the Red Moon Alliance, which are further north and west, are so powerful and have such a vast territory, because there are great grandmasters and countless countries destroyed, so the current pattern has been formed.
Now that the Yunhao Kingdom has a great master, it will inevitably embark on the road of expansion, and the Qianguo Qinglan Kingdom, which is closest to the Yunhao Kingdom, will bear the brunt.
Due to its geographical location, the threat is much smaller.
In order not to look special, Ye Cheng happily went.
After a small gathering, there was nothing to deal with.
Qinglanguo didn't get a lot of information.
Moreover, Qinglanguo is quite pessimistic.
With the aggressiveness of Yunhao State, it will inevitably expand in the southwest and two directions, and the first to bear the brunt will inevitably be Qinglan State and Qianguo State.
And the Qianguo is strong, but the Qinglan country is weaker, and Yun Haoguo may make a move against the Qinglan country first.
After the Donglai delegation also arrived in Yujing, Emperor Yun Hao did not receive it immediately, and it dragged on for seven days, three days before the promotion ceremony, before finally summoning the three kingdom delegations.
The whole summons went well, but when he walked out of the Lingxiao Palace, there was a little accident.
A young man of eleven or twelve, with the typical braids of Yun Haoguo, rushed in front of several missions.
"Which of you is Ye Cheng, the Taiwu Grandmaster of the Qianguo?"
Everyone present looked at each other and their eyes fell on Ye Cheng.
"I just, I don't know what happened to this highness?"
Ye Cheng opened his mouth and said.
This young man's dress should be a certain prince of Yun Hao Kingdom.
"Hmph, my master's eyes were blinded by you?"
The young prince snorted coldly, then pointed at Ye Cheng, and said coldly: "In the future, this prince will personally lead Yunhao Iron Cavalry and set foot on your country." ”
"Hulun, what are you doing, how can you be so rude?"
At this time, a heroic young man in a robe came over and scolded.
Then he bowed slightly to Ye Cheng and said, "Grandmaster Ye Cheng, I'm really sorry, the imperial brother is young and rude, and he speaks wildly, please don't take it to heart." ”
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, this is just a trivial matter."
Ye Cheng smiled slightly, how could he be a grandmaster like a yellow-mouthed child.
Leaving Yunhao Imperial City and returning to Yunjie Pavilion, Ye Cheng suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed it, and suddenly there was a small paper ball in his palm.
Someone shot in from the outside in a very subtle way.
Ye Cheng was mentally induced, but he didn't find anything.
Of course, he didn't dare to be too reckless.
This is Yunhao Country, I am afraid that it has become the Longtan Tiger's Den, and no one knows what kind of powerful existence is hidden.
He slowly opened the paper ball.
"Get together in the Black Mirror Building, Wen Jiang."
Ye Cheng opened the window and saw a three-story building on the side of the road, with a plaque with the words Black Mirror Building written on it.
This is the name of a restaurant.
"Stop."
Ye Cheng said suddenly.
The carriage stopped.
"You go back first, I'll go in and have a drink."
Ye Cheng got out of the carriage.
Then he walked into the Black Mirror Building.
In this Black Mirror Building, there are not many drinkers.
When you walk in, you can block out the noise outside.
Very peaceful.
Moreover, there are bursts of silk and bamboo sounds coming down upstairs, which makes the style of this restaurant go up all of a sudden.
"Guest officer, please come with the little one."
The guy came up and said directly.
Ye Cheng understood that this guy should know that he had made an appointment.
So, he followed the guy up to the third floor.
On the third floor, there are private rooms near the window.
When Ye Cheng entered one of the private rooms, he saw an acquaintance.
There is Wen Jiang, the owner of a bookstore.
It's still a dress of outsiders.
"I didn't expect Senior Wen Jiang to come to Lingxiao City as well."
Ye Cheng arched his hand.
He also thought that Wen Jiang's cautious personality should not wade into this troubled water.
"It's such a big deal, I have to come. Isn't it the same for Ye Wangye? ”
Wen Jiang said with a chuckle.
"Ye is in his position, he has to come, Wen Jiang's senior, he can be happy and happy."
Ye Cheng sat down.
"Drink the Black Mirror wine of this Black Mirror Building, this is Yun Hao's must."
Wen Jiang smiled slightly, did not answer, but poured Ye Cheng a glass of wine.
The glass is made of almost transparent glass.
The wine was poured into the glass, and it was as black as ink.
A peculiar aroma of wine comes out.
"Black wine, Ye has seen it for the first time."
Ye Cheng said.
"This liquor is said to be made of rye, black fruit and black jujube dew unique to Yunhao Kingdom, even if it is distilled, it still has a pure black color, like a black mirror, and it has been named since then."
Wen Jiang said.
Ye Cheng took a sip of wine from the cup, the taste was indeed good, containing a peculiar fruity aroma, mellow but not spicy, soft and deep.
"It's really good, it's completely different from the wine of Qianguo."
Ye Cheng said with a chuckle.
"Lord Ye, do you know why I invited you to a gathering?"
Wen Jiang said suddenly.
"I don't know, it stands to reason that Wen Jiang's predecessors should avoid me."
Ye Cheng shook his head and said.
"This time, Tiantini has become a great grandmaster and held a promotion ceremony, but it is not as simple as you imagined."
Wen Jiang sighed and said.
"Senior Wen Jiang, why is this?"
Ye Cheng was surprised in his heart, could it be that Tiantini became a great grandmaster, and there was a reason for a certain force to promote it?
It's a pity that he is in the middle of the game, but he doesn't know the real situation in the game, this feeling is very uncomfortable.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have to take the risk of going to Yunhao Country to participate in this dangerous promotion ceremony.
"Originally, I didn't plan to tell you so early, but now, at this juncture, if I don't make it clear to you, I'm afraid that if you get involved, you will really be doomed."
Wen Jiang said in a deep voice: "Do you know why there are a number of spiritual lands in various countries? ”
Ye Cheng did not speak.
"This is deliberately controlled by a force called the Divine Palace, just to limit the number of innate martial artists in various countries."
Wen Jiang said with a smile.
"Senior, isn't there a method of refining gods, and the same is true?"
Ye Cheng's face changed slightly, and he immediately asked.
"Of course, if there is an existence of the Divine Refining Method, with just such a few spiritual lands, do you think there are still so many innate martial artists in various countries?"
Wen Jiang said.
Ye Cheng understood that with the Divine Refining Method, there was no limit to the cultivation of innate martial artists, and they could continue to cultivate, so they needed more spiritual resources.
The output of spiritual objects is only so much, and the consumption of individuals is more, so naturally speaking, the number of innate martial artists will be greatly reduced.
"What about Wu Yi?"
Ye Cheng asked another doubt.
If it is said that the Divine Refining Method originally existed, what is the situation of this martial intent?
"As you know, it is naturally all fake, the martial intent already exists, and it is a realm that matches the Divine Refining Method."
Wen Jiang chuckled.
"This divine palace is so terrifying, it can deceive sentient beings?"
Ye Cheng was shocked in his heart.
Isn't it terrifying to have to block out a piece of information that exists and erase it from all kinds of records?
"What is this, when the martial intent reaches a certain level, it can affect the memory of living beings within a certain range, not to mention, the layout of the divine palace is not completed overnight, but after thousands of years, it has gradually reached the current effect."
Wen Jiang said.
"Senior Wen Jiang, why did the Divine Palace do this?"
Ye Cheng took a deep breath and asked.
"It's very simple, you have also read the ancient records, the ancient records are full of aura, everyone can practice, and there are countless immortal species, now what? How thin is the aura between heaven and earth. ”
Wen Jiang sighed lightly.
Although this practice of Jingu is understandable in a sense.
However, it has deprived many people of their cultivation qualifications.
That's the biggest injustice.
Ye Cheng suddenly realized that the aura was limited, and there were too many martial artists, so they would inevitably compete for the aura.
The best way is to limit the number of people, there are fewer people to compete, and the share of aura that the remaining martial artists can obtain will increase.
"But this Divine Palace is too domineering, they make rules and limit the number of martial artists, won't they be able to occupy a large amount of spiritual energy?"
Ye Cheng said.
"yes, that's why there are people like us."
Wen Jiang sighed and said.
"But what does this have to do with becoming a Grand Master? I don't rely on refining the divine method to become a great grandmaster, I rely on my own talent and qualifications, is it possible that this divine palace has to be managed? ”
Ye Cheng said in a deep voice.
"Every great master who can achieve his own achievements is a genius, such an existence is left unchecked, is the Divine Palace allowed to be used by the opposing forces? After you know the truth, will you be extremely dissatisfied with the shrine? ”
Wen Jiang laughed.
Ye Cheng fell silent.
It's not just dissatisfaction, it's just an enemy.
If there was an existence of the Divine Refining Method, would it be so difficult for those innate martial artists, grandmasters, and even great grandmasters to cultivate?
Cutting off people's cultivation path is ten million times more serious than cutting off people's financial path.
"Therefore, the Divine Palace has only one attitude towards you genius grandmasters, and it is better to kill by mistake than to let go, of course, it does not mean that you will definitely die, but you great grandmasters who have been discovered, the situation will definitely be very miserable."
Wen Jiang said.
"Senior Wen Jiang, what do you want to say, just say it."
Ye Cheng took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.
"It's very simple, join our organization, join forces, fight against the Divine Palace, and fight for a space for us to cultivate freely."
Wen Jiang said.
"Senior, I'm sorry, I can't make a decision just yet."
Ye Cheng shook his head and said.
How could he be an immortal to join such a rebellion that he knew was dangerous at first glance?
He can hide even if he is not at the least, and use a few spiritual lands to cultivate for hundreds of thousands of years.
Why take such a risk.
This Wen Jiang lives a life of hiding XZ, and at first glance, he knows that it is very unsatisfactory, and it is obvious that the Divine Palace is a severe crackdown on this kind of resistance organization.
"Hey, I knew you would say that, so I didn't tell you this last time, don't be in a hurry to refuse, this Tiantini's promotion ceremony will be an opportunity. Moreover, by joining our organization, you can obtain the Divine Refining Method, and with the Divine Refining Method, not only will your cultivation speed increase greatly, but you will also comprehend the martial intent. ”
Wen Jiang said.
He understood Ye Cheng's thoughts, after all, he was a eunuch, and he didn't even have descendants, except for having a certain affection for the royal family of Qianguo, he didn't have much to worry about.
It is impossible for such a person to say that he has the ideal of opening up a free cultivation environment for his juniors.
"As much as you get, you must also pay, there is no free lunch in this world."
Ye Cheng said in a deep voice.
Although the Divine Refining Method is attractive enough to him, the risk is also great.
Once he joins this organization and obtains the Divine Refining Method, what about the high-risk things that this organization requires him to participate in?
What should he do?
It is unwise to put yourself in danger.
After all, he is an immortal, and it is not that he cannot cultivate, at most he is slower, and there is enough time, so there is no need to take such a risk.
"yes, why else would I be here?"
Wen Jiang showed a sigh.
"Senior Wen Jiang, is it also a person from your organization behind Tiny this day?"
Ye Cheng asked curiously.
Seeing Wen Jiang's expression, he understood that joining this organization was definitely not a good thing, otherwise Wen Jiang would not have appeared in such a dangerous Lingxiao City with his caution.
"Of course not, our organization is not one of those crazy people, much more sane. However, if they dare to do this, they must have a certain amount of confidence, and if the time is ripe, we can also intervene, after all, the purpose is the same. ”
Wen Jiang shook his head.
Ye Cheng smiled in his heart, what is reasonable, it is obviously much cowardice.
Next, the two drank and became dull.
"Senior Wen Jiang, I've always been confused about the cultivation realm, how is it divided?"
Ye Cheng suddenly broke the deadlock and asked the doubts in his heart.
"This is simple, it's nothing to tell you, the innate is divided into four stages: the early stage, the middle stage, the late stage, and the consummation, if according to the standards of the Divine Palace, the early stage of the congenital can generally comprehend a heavy martial intent, the middle congenital stage can comprehend the double martial intent, the late congenital comprehension of the triple martial intent, if you reach the congenital consummation, you can comprehend the quadruple martial intent. The distinction between the grandmaster in the world and the great grandmaster is actually not very accurate, the shrine is divided into four elephants, and those who comprehend one martial intent can generally be called an illusion master, or an imaginary grandmaster, who comprehends two martial intentions, is called an external image master, and you should find that martial intent has been able to affect reality, which is the origin of external images. If it is to comprehend the triple martial intent, call it the Truth Elephant Grandmaster, this kind of grandmaster, can already really achieve the martial intent to interfere with the matter, with all kinds of incredible means, very terrifying, far from the external elephant grandmaster can be compared, if you go further, comprehend the quadruple martial intent, that is the Celestial Phenomenon Grand Master, a thought, can lead a celestial phenomenon, it is said that our territory, there is a Celestial Elephant Grand Master of the Divine Palace. ”
Wen Jiang said leisurely.
Ye Cheng was shocked when he heard this, he didn't expect this martial intent to be divided in such detail.
The martial intent is more powerful than the other, and when it comes to the Great Grandmaster of the Heavenly Phenomena, how terrifying it should be.
"Senior Wen Jiang, is it possible that the cultivation will improve faster, and the martial intent comprehension can't keep up?"
Ye Cheng asked again.
His current martial intent is also double, which is equivalent to an external elephant grandmaster.
It can be cultivated to have reached the late stage of innate development.
Under normal circumstances, it must match the truth-level martial intent.
"Of course it's possible, as long as your martial arts qualifications are not bad and you have enough spiritual energy cultivation, this situation is the most normal, but it is even more difficult to comprehend martial intent. But the current situation is that the aura is not enough, and he can only rely on comprehending the martial intent to improve his strength. ”
Wen Jiang chuckled.
Ye Cheng put his mind at ease, just normal.
