365 Reckoning and being reckoned
King Cheng's hand reached into the Jiuhua Ding, and the next moment, there was a 'hehey' laugh in the Jiuhua Ding.
"Why, you're finally willing to accept my power?"
The voice was cold and hoarse, and seemed to be very weak. When King Cheng heard this voice, he also felt the cold hairs on his back explode, and he felt sick in his heart. He settled down and said lightly: "Ancestor, what you said is true, are you really willing to give me the power?" ”
The voice he called 'Old Ancestor' said weakly again: "You are my blood relative, can I still deceive you?" The capital suddenly turned into a demon, which caught me off guard and hit my body hard. I can only survive in my acquired treasure. Now I don't see that I can do it, and this body and this Baoding will have no master. If this is the case, it is better to give it to you, so that you can regain the prestige of Dayu and save the people of Li from fire and water. ”
When King Cheng heard this, his heart was also quite useful. From childhood to adulthood, he was a 'good boy' in the eyes of everyone and the best heir in the eyes of everyone. Everyone told him that after he inherited the unification in the future, he should not be as lazy as his father, and he must be a good emperor who is diligent and loves the people.
In his opinion, his father had indeed gone too far, and if he had done it in the position of emperor, he would have done better than his father. The special situation of the Dayu Dynasty allows him not to forbear, so that he can live a high-profile life, and he has been accustomed to this for many years, feeling that he is the man of destiny.
This time the capital fell, and he was escorted out of the city by loyal guards. And his father was transferred with the ministers of the DPRK and China. The ministers all know that eggs cannot be put in one basket at the same time, and if there is an accident on the emperor's side, then the king is hope.
The two parties divided their own things, and now the emperor's itinerary is unknown, but he is lucky, and he came to Chentangguan with the family's treasure.
When he arrived at Chentangguan, he began to plan to ascend the throne, seize power, counterattack the goblins, etc., he wanted to be the savior of the Dayu Dynasty, he wanted to be the emperor of the ages, and he wanted to become the one who turned the tide! Therefore, he must have the right, and he must control the power of the entire Chentangguan.
It's just that Li Jing, the chief soldier of Chentangguan, is a pedantic person, and he is quite uneasy with him above the court, and now it is also the hardest stumbling block for him to grasp power.
Today, Li Jing was invited to discuss the matter, and Li Jing shirked all kinds of things. Because the emperor's life and death are now unknown, he wants to regent as the prince, but Li Jing refuses because it is not in accordance with the etiquette system. He also wanted to be the commander of the three armies and control the soldiers and horses of all sides. Li Jing refused again on the pretext that there was no consultation with the imperial court.
The left also refuses, and the right also refuses, it is clear that he doesn't want him to hold power, and he clearly wants to empty him as a king, this Li Jing clearly has a heart of disobedience!
He became the king to save the tilt of the society and save the people of Li from fire and water, why is this Li Jing so ignorant! It's a pity that he doesn't have any strength in his hands now, so he can only be bullied by Li Jing. If he wants to overthrow Li Jing's oppression, he must have his own strength.
On the way to escape, King Cheng found that there was something wrong with the ancestor of the treasure Jiuhuading, and after a little temptation, he understood that the ancestor had been injured in the fall of the capital, and now he was like a candle in the wind, and he would die at any time. And the old ancestor's body contains the power of the Nine Folds, but he doesn't want to waste it in vain, and wants to transfer it to King Cheng through secret methods.
Although it is impossible for King Cheng to inherit 100% of the power of his ancestors, he can also have a strength of 350%, and he should also have the cultivation of the Yun Dao realm. As long as he has the cultivation of the Yun Dao Realm, plus the treasure of Jiuhuading, he will be sure to break his wrist with Li Jing. Moreover, Li Jing in Chentang Pass is not covering the sky with one hand, there are still some people who are not convinced by him, and these people can also win it over.
King Cheng is not a brave and resourceful person, but he is often praised by his ministers for being 'resourceful'. Now that he thought about it for a long time, he finally decided to accept the power of his ancestors, and then connected with the Guannei soldiers who were loyal to him to directly deprive Li Jing of his military power.
However, before accepting the power of the old ancestor, he still had some scruples in his heart. Because he was afraid that the old ancestor had some bad intentions in it.
So he asked, "Ancestor, I have also inquired, and it is quite risky to receive a power empowerment, and the slightest carelessness will lead to death. In fact, what I am more accepting of is that you will give Jiuhuading to me directly, so that I can operate Jiuhuading. ”
This is a more secure choice for him, he has known the power of Jiuhuading for a long time, and he thinks that with the help of Baoding, there is no problem in taking Li Jing.
However, as soon as he said his words, the old ancestor sighed and said: "You still don't believe me, you don't have the strength, and you can't operate Jiuhuading." And what are you afraid of? Are you afraid that I will take you away and then become this emperor? ”
Hearing his words, King Cheng also fell silent. That's what he had to do. The act of instilling strength is too easy to take away.
The old ancestor sighed sadly and continued: "How can you have such thoughts, if I wanted to be the emperor, I would not have given up the throne to others in the first place. I am a ninefold monk of the Yun Dao, with a lifespan of thousands of years, and I can be an emperor indefinitely, and the Dayu Dynasty was established by me, who can object? ”
"I am a person who is indifferent to power, so I will give up the throne and concentrate on my cultivation. Have you ever seen me meddle in any state affairs over the years? Don't you trust me at all? ”
The words of the old ancestor Cheng Wang also understood that he was right. In the years of the Dayu Dynasty, after he abdicated, he never asked about state affairs, nor did he make any requests, he just hid quietly in the depths of the palace, never disturbed others, and did not let others disturb him.
King Cheng was still silent. The old ancestor continued: "Now my soul is getting weaker and weaker day by day, and in a few days it will be completely gone. At that time, my strength will also dissipate, and Jiuhuading will fall into a deep sleep because of the loss of its master, and it will take a lot of effort to wake it up. Why bother, I am your ancestor, and I will not harm you. Who will harm their children and grandchildren? ”
King Cheng continued to be silent. At this time, he suddenly remembered what the current Prime Minister Yang Yan said to him.
"Your Highness is good at everything, but he is a little indecisive. More scheming and less decisive, this is not a wise man's behavior. ”
Now this sentence suddenly came to his mind, making his heart tighten. Yes, now that there are no ministers to help him decide, many decisions have to be decided by himself. Everything is risky, and you can't do great things by looking ahead and looking backwards. If you delay the opportunity because of your hesitation, you may not be able to forgive yourself for the rest of your life.
Thinking about this, he gritted his teeth and decided to gamble on his fate. Then he said to the ancestor of Jiuhuading: "Ancestor, I agree." ”
The old ancestor in Jiuhua Ding seemed to be very satisfied, and he said lightly: "This is what Ming Jun did." If you enter the Great Ding, my power will be preserved in the Great Ding, and I need to pass it on to you through the Great Ding. ”
King Cheng nodded, and then the big tripod in front of him became a little bigger. He turned over and entered the Great Ding, sat cross-legged in the Great Ding, and said, "Ancestor, I'm ready." ”
The voice of the old ancestor sounded in his ears at this time. He said lightly: "Relax your whole body, there must be no resistance, the more calm you are, the more power you will accept." ”
After speaking, a force came from Dading and poured into King Cheng's body. The strength in King Cheng's body also increased rapidly.
At this time, the old ancestor suddenly said in his ear: "Do you know why my acquired magic weapon is Dading?" ”
King Cheng replied: "I don't know, why is this? ”
The old ancestor smiled and said, "Because my companion scripture is the Dinghua Sutra. There is a verse in the scriptures that says, 'Stand on three feet and walk on all sides.'" Do you know how to interpret this sentence? ”
King Cheng thought for a while, and he said: "The meaning of this should be: only with three legs can be stable, and only with stability can the role of the great tripod be exercised." But in his heart, he thought that these three legs stood together, and they walked together. It should be that any power should be divided into three parts, only in this way can we check and balance each other, so that this big tripod will not fall.
His understanding is not bad, and he understands the power side in one sentence. If he was born in a world where he couldn't practice, he would probably be a person who was good at the Emperor's Mind Technique.
Hearing his words, the old ancestor smiled and said, "The explanation is acceptable, but it is not thorough. And what you're thinking in your heart is probably not cultivation. He paused and continued: "Stand on three feet, stand on your feet. What this means is that only when the three feet are set first, will this big tripod be built. In practice, this can be understood to mean that the three legs of essence, qi and spirit must first be cultivated well, so that they can lay a good foundation and practice well. ”
"If you comprehend this step, then you can cultivate to the Divine Light Realm in peace. If you want to go further, that's hard to add. Because you don't understand it thoroughly, this rhyme naturally has nothing to do with you. ”
"There are many things that stand on three legs, why do you have to mention the big tripod in the scriptures? Dading is the artifact of the town, the weight of the tripod, only the country can bear. And what is Dading used for? ”
"Dading is for cooking. Cooking one thing is enough to feast the world, only Ding can do it. ”
"Cooking, spirit, spirit, country. Several things, divided into big tripods and small tripods. The little three-legged is the spirit of energy. And the big three-legged is cooking, country and spirit. ”
"What can you think of?"
The words of the old ancestor made King Cheng completely stunned, the old ancestor is really powerful, he can comprehend so many things with one scripture. But what is the connection between the three?
The Old Ancestor smiled lightly and said, "Therefore, you can only be a minor monk who is not even in the Divine Light Realm now, while I am a great monk with a ninefold Dao. ”
King Cheng then said: "This is also asking the ancestor to teach me." What is the relationship between the three? ”
The old ancestor smiled: "These three show that as long as I cook the country with Dading, I can nourish my spirit and spirit." Let me practice without hindrance and progress by leaps and bounds! ”
King Cheng was stunned. He never thought it would be like this.
Then the old ancestor continued: "I set up the Great Array of the Five Elements in the World, with Jiuhuading as the weapon, the Dayu Dynasty as the country, and the demon clan as the fire. The demon clan continued to torment the people of the dynasty, forced out their spirits, and then collected them with a large array of great dings, and finally gathered my body, so that I could achieve my cultivation. ”
"I had a good plan, but I was discovered by that person, who approached me and wanted to work with me. I cook the people with Dading and achieve my supreme practice. And he used the life of the Qinghuazhou monk demon clan to achieve his supreme cultivation. ”
Hearing this, King Cheng's heart has become turbulent. Suddenly he felt that something was wrong, and he said, "You...... You're not really trying to instill strength in me, what are you going to do? ”
When the old ancestor heard this, there was a hint of hatred in his tone. He said lightly: "I thought you were a smart person, you can understand a lot of things from what I said, I can't imagine that you are also a stupid person who can't hold up the wall with mud." ”
"Haven't you seen that I am cooking you, to devour your spirit and take possession of your body? You should think that I will cook every emperor, and then take their bodies and become emperors myself! This is the country I have laid down, why should I leave it to you stupid descendants! ”
King Cheng was completely stupid when he heard this, he thought a lot and counted a lot. But I never thought of this. Why are the emperors of each generation a faint king who eats and waits for death? Many emperors were smart and ambitious before they ascended the throne, why did they become people who ate and waited for death after ascending to the throne?
This is because they were all cooked, their spirits and spirits were cooked, and they were all eaten by this old ancestor! Without spirit, what ambitions does this person have, and what thoughts does he have? Isn't it just a walking corpse?
King Cheng is terrified now. The old ancestor said in his ear again: "That person said that he was cooperating with me, but in fact, even I was worried about it, and he was really seeking skin with the tiger." This negligence caused the emperor to die, and also made my body gone, but I was not ready for anything, so I had no choice but to shrink into Jiuhuading and pull with you little cub. ”
He sneered mercilessly: "I thought you were a smart and difficult person, and I almost thought I was going to die." I didn't expect you to be a good person, bright on the outside, but a straw bale on the inside. When I occupy your body and recover your cultivation, I will naturally help you solve Li Jing's trouble. ”
King Cheng listened to the words of the old ancestor, he felt a wave of sleepiness coming, and finally closed his eyes helplessly.
After a long time, King Cheng climbed out of the big ding. He looked at his body, still with some regret on his face.
"Without adequate preparation, Jiuhuading alone can only do this. The physical body is occupied, but the cultivation is not inherited, and now there is only the strength of the three layers of the Yun Dao......"
He pondered for a moment and continued: "This strength, with Jiuhuading, can deal with Li Jing. These people are all forcibly absorbing Dao Yun's promotion, and their skills are also sparse. But if we have infighting, won't it be cheaper for that man......"
"It's really trouble!" He sighed and continued: "The plan now is to restore orthodoxy first, only in this way can we continue to cook the country with Dading and restore our strength." However, this Li Jing is a guy who doesn't eat hard and soft, and it is estimated that it will be difficult for him to support me to ascend the throne. If I knew this, I should have killed him in the first place. ”
Cheng Wang took a sip angrily, and with a move of his hand, Jiuhuading flew into his body and turned into a small tripod tattoo.
