Chapter 14: The Road to Holiness

Patting away the blood foam that was gradually on his body, Kong Ming said with a smile: "Zhisheng, you two gave me a bath!"

"Haha, that's a good thing, but now is not the time for us to discuss this kind of thing, it's important to get down to business, isn't it?" Xu Zhisheng said.

"Oh, so there's good news for you?"

"The other two have been caught, Liang Hua is asking about the situation, and I believe there will be good news soon. Fei Yu replied on the side, the mood is also good, no matter who can kill a demi-saint without paying some price, it is a good thing, this situation can only appear in this situation just now, first of all, the demi-saint was thrown from the sky and was seriously injured, and secondly, there is a great sword master like Kong Ming, who is close to the demi-saint, and again, there must be two people at the level of the great sword master on one side to cooperate, otherwise, even if there is only one person, it is easy to seriously injure the demi-saint, but it is still a little insufficient to kill him。

"Haha, then let's hide to the side first, and it will be more tragic to save the Harvey people coming over when the time comes. While speaking, Kong Ming picked up the space ring of the half-saint from the ground not far from him, this is a good thing, you know, although Kong Ming killed a few people at the level of a great sword master before, but they were all poor, the only one who was richer was Fang Hua who gave him a sharp sword, but Kong Ming also sighed when he checked his ring, thinking that all his savings were exchanged for this sword. But this half-saint is different, since he fell to the ground, he has taken one after another in the ring, and he must have taken it easily, so how many are not smooth?

Several people left the battlefield and went to a nearby mountainside, except for Liang Hua and Fei Yu, who took two Harvey people to the side to interrogate, the other four people sat together, looking into the distance through the shade of a tree, the direction where the Harvey people came, while discussing the savings of the half-saint with Kong Ming. Kong Ming took the ring and opened it to take a look, and sure enough, although the half-saint and the great sword master were just a line apart, their wealth was very different, heaven and earth. Inside the ring were stacked with Harvey coins, all of them gold, and on the other side were more than a dozen different weapons, including knives, swords, bows, etc., and even magic wands, which are only used by magicians. There are also several books and a map in the other direction. Kong Ming took out the book, then gave the ring to Xu Zhisheng, and then looked down at the book. There are a total of six books, Kong Ming looked at it, one of them is "The Road to Promotion" that makes Kong Ming's heart move, you know, all the seven and above fighting spirit and magic or other professions of the same level, are always limited to the hands of a small number of forces, and there is very little outflow, even if they are people of power, they can only read in the book pavilion, and cannot be brought out, and there are very few outflows, even if there is an occasional one, it is all a bloody storm. Kong Ming is one of the luckier ones, and he got a complete copy of "Fire Dragon Fighting Qi" On the other hand, although he studied at Huayuan Comprehensive University, he did not have any seventh-level and above fighting spirit and magic to learn, even in the library, sixth-level learning, only seventh-level and above students were forbidden to study, of course, the school's tutors can learn, because they themselves are the people of the school, and they are also the school's high-end combat power, and students can leave at any time, and students are also from all directions, occasionally a student asks the tutor to pass on one or two seventh-level magic, and he must also swear not to pass it on. As a first-class baron of the Huayuan Empire, he didn't have any power to learn even a seventh-level fighting skill or magic from the Empire, after all, for them, Kong Ming was still an outsider. All of this is because the skills above level seven belong to the existence of an ultimate skill, in other words, it is equivalent to the current nuclear weapons, which always produce large-scale destructive power, and this kind of destructive power is something that cannot be given to people at will for any force, so things at this level can only be in the hands of big forces, and only those who approve of them will learn, and in this case, not only is it difficult to get the book of skills, but even some books that have advanced have made them block. Today's book can be said to be Kongming's biggest surprise, and of course, it is also the surprise of everyone in it. The book itself is not thick, Kong Ming flipped it twice from beginning to end, and then gave the book to Zhan Tianhang, and said: "Tianhang, you now use magic to make a few copies of this book, one for everyone here, and then two or three more copies, after going back, give it to a few other people of the sixth or seventh level, if they are willing to copy it themselves, this book is only circulated within our snow wolf, and all people can circulate it, but it is forbidden to go out." ”

"Oh, what kind of book, make you value it so much?" Zhan Tianhang took it casually, looked at the title of the book, and then spit out of his mouth with a "sizzle" breath, and then hurriedly took out eight blank books from the space ring, and immediately copied them with magic, this kind of book is really too precious for people like them. Kong Ming took advantage of this time to close his eyes and slowly recall the contents of the book. When Kong Ming was in college, he knew that the holy level was to comprehend the rules or laws in heaven and earth, but it was only limited to knowing, no one would tell Kong Ming what rules and laws were, and what was needed to comprehend these things, even Kong Ming's tutor did not tell Kong Ming a little, and occasionally the conversation revealed only that these things were the laws of the operation of heaven and earth, and the others did not talk too much further, when Kong Ming was in the imperial capital, he often heard those saint-level tutors talk about it in class, but no one would tell Kong Ming a student a little more, for fear that the students sitting there would understand some truths from it, and then difficult to control. There was once such a person, he just got the opportunity to become a saint and become a god from a little talk among some people next to him, and this person also created a period of glory on the mainland, but since him, the world has been more strict about these things, including himself. Therefore, if it is difficult for the great swordsman in the great forces to become holy because of his lack of understanding, there are more seventh-level powerhouses in the people who go in the wrong direction because they don't know the way, and miss the opportunity to become holy and become a god.

The book begins by explaining the difference between rules and laws, and the strengths and weaknesses in them. The law is the characteristic of the existence of zài between heaven and earth. In this world, the ten most basic elements of nature, such as metal, wood, water, fire, earth, time, space, light, and darkness, are the laws of existence. For example, the properties of water, flowing, soft, Continuation, etc., these are the characteristics of water, and if a person wants to become holy, he needs to understand and master these characteristics, if you master the flow, then when you use it in swordsmanship, your sword is a smooth roundness, so that it is difficult for the enemy to interrupt your attack, you can also use it in the pace, so that your dodge to the next level, of course, you can also add the freezing of water to the fighting spirit, freeze the enemy in the battle, and all these are the skills of the saint, it is difficult to master without extremely high understanding, not to mention the blockade of this kind of thing by so many big forces。 And the rules are another kind of thing, the book says, the rules are unspeakable, what is said in it is unspeakable, that is, even the grasp itself is only from the meaning, or can only be very vaguely known, but it is difficult to say, or let people know, there are rules in all things, such as the rules of fighting, the rules of wisdom and wisdom, the rules of reading, and even the killing of pigs have the rules of killing pigs, these things seem to be an illusory existence, but it is indeed stored in the world, for example, a person who reads more will definitely realize something, and the same is true for killing and killing, and all kinds of things are rulesUsually this kind of saint has a deep smell of books and omniscient ability, and if he kills someone, he is extremely murderous, and once he is sanctified, he can also kill people in the invisible, and whether it is a law or a rule, it is the recognition of heaven and earth for a person, and the reward for mastering certain laws and rules for a living being. There are simple discussions on various methods of sanctification in the book, such as being with water for a long time, observing and understanding, you can get the law of water from the characteristics of water and become a saint, and the amount of comprehension of the law of water also determines how strong a person's ability is, but as long as you cross a threshold recognized by heaven and earth, you can directly become holy, of course, more is also holy, less is also holy, but the ability is different, and the comprehension of the same law is different for different saints, even if the comprehension of the same part of the same law is exactly the same, but the combat power is also different, these depend on the individual's tendency。 And once you have fully mastered a law, such as the law of water, then you can become a god directly.

This book is particularly important for Kong Ming at this time, because at this time he is at this juncture of entering the holy level, if there is no one to guide him, maybe after a few years, Kong Ming can be sanctified in a war or battle, but it is more likely that he cannot become a holy level because there are too many temptations, taking Kong Ming as an example, he can be in fire, space, strategy, Sanctification of any of the four aspects of the battle, then if there is no book today, he can only keep rotating in these aspects, maybe the four aspects are infinitely close to the holy level, but you must know that this is just an infinite closeness, and not, no matter how close it is, it is still not and it is impossible to become. You must know that before sanctification, human time is limited, once the time is exhausted, then the person is finished, how can it be possible to be holy? The importance of this book is also expressed in several points, one of which is that Kong Ming has always thought that only magic or fighting spirit can make people holy, but after reading this book, Kong Ming knew that these are just the prejudices of the world, it turns out that reading can also be sanctified, the holy level is more of a kind of understanding, a kind of spiritual power, a kind of recognition of heaven and earth to people, not to say how much a person's force is, can be one against a hundred, or with one against ten thousand; another misunderstanding is that the force value of the holy level is very high, after reading it, I know that some of the holy level has no force at all, and the reason why he became holy is because of reading, or because of doing good, or because of something else, but because of the world's sanctification of magic or fighting spirit, it is because these can prolong life and self-defense, and each step has a greater ability to see, and the most important point is that this is more direct than other methods of sanctification, all of which in the final analysis is from immortality, protection, From the perspective of various points of knowledge, only these kinds of professional sanctification are the most suitable for surviving on the continent at this stage, otherwise they will die before the age of twenty, and they may be sanctified or sanctified There is still a fart, of course, once they become saints, heaven and earth will make a fundamental change to people, so that their lifespan will be longer or strengthen the ability of the saint itself.

After eliminating these misunderstandings, Kong Ming began to think about his own path to sanctification, and in the current situation, Kong Ming can impact the holy level from four paths, fire, space, strategy, Fighting, the strategy in these four roads is directly let Kong Ming go, at least at this stage, Kong Ming does not have so much time to study, although it is said that because during the war, every step of Kong Ming, you need to think and arrange, this is itself the practice of strategy, but the judgment of this method of sanctification is too illusory, not very realistic, and the battle Kong Ming goes further on this road, and is closer to the holy level, and now in the war, the most important thing is the battle, but the realization in this battle is focused on the realization in the personal battle, otherwise, if it is said that it is practiced in the war, it is likely to make a battle fail, and the consequence of defeat is to lose more comrades-in-arms, which is not allowed by Kongming, the above two can only be interspersed in the war, and cannot be used as the main direction of sanctification, so Kongming has to choose one of the remaining two, space and fire to become a path of sanctification. Although these two items seem to be the same, the combat power of which one is sanctified first is very different, because the same law, the law of space is far beyond the law of fire in terms of level and combat effectiveness, but the difficulty of its comprehension is also far beyond the law of fire, so ordinary people take the law of the elements as the direction of sanctification, that is, metal, wood, water, fire, Only the strongest group of people will be sanctified in the two most difficult directions of space and time, because there is a basic problem after sanctification, that is, if you are sanctified by fire, then the main element of washing the body is the fire element, and it will be several times more difficult to practice the laws of other elements in the future, and if you use space to sanctify, the same is true, but when you sanctify with space, because of the inclusiveness of space, it is a little more convenient to practice other elemental laws than others, but no matter which kind of law you practice to the depths, it depends on how much you cultivate。 In the end, it's an individual effort. Of course, if there is a teacher to guide and no teacher to guide the difference is very huge, because if someone points out, some common sense problems will not be deviated, and no one points out that once something deviates, it is difficult to turn back, but if someone directly through those difficulties, but can create a new situation, you know, these roads are the predecessors do not know how many generations to find out, they must have gone through a lot of hard work to have such an achievement. In the university, Kong Ming also came into contact with many sages, but these people will not become a person's guide, only those who have been officially recognized by the Huayuan Empire or the school will become their guide, which is why even Kong Ming has not been able to have a sage mentor, he was once a Kari warrior, a prophesied ominous person. Kong Ming kept thinking, fire or space? This is really a difficult problem, rationally speaking, you should choose the fire system, but whether it is from the point of view of combat effectiveness or survival, the law of space is more dominant, you must know that Kong Ming has survived to this day because of space magic, otherwise it would have become a pile of white bones. Thinking of this, Kong Ming didn't hesitate more, and directly chose the law of space to become holy, because it could fall at any time during the war, and if there is no life, no matter how many chances there are, it will be fake, not to mention that Kong Ming himself is a person who plays with disappearance more than with fire. Thinking of this, Kong Ming couldn't help but raise his head, exhaled a breath, looked ahead and couldn't help but be stunned, only to see Xu Zhisheng, Fei Yu, and Feng Mingsheng were all immersed in thinking, and there was a book in their hands, which was the one copied by Zhan Tianhang, and the front of Kong Ming was the original, and the other two Zhan Tianhang and Liang Hua were holding the book in their hands, but they didn't think about it, but kept observing the situation around them, and gave the four of them to protect the Dharma, they saw Kong Ming wake up, and couldn't help asking, "Is there anything to gain?"

"It's very big, you should also know something about this matter, why there are so many seventh-level powerhouses in the world, but there are very few eighth-level powerhouses, look at the book in your hand, although it is said that there is nothing for you now, but once it reaches our level, with this book, you can at least save more than ten years of time, especially for people like me, even more so, you know, cultivation is a matter of sailing against the current, and you can't be distracted at all, let alone take a fork in the road. Kong Ming said with emotion, and then, with a sigh, then asked, "Did you get any information?"

"A heartwarming piece of information, I don't know if you're interested?" Liang Hua said with a smile.

"Say it and see. ”

"From the mouth of the Harvey, I learned that in a small town about forty kilometers to the south is a temporary concentration of Harvey, where they gather people who have looted from all sides, and then transport them to the prisoner of war team, where there are more than fifty people of the Great Sword Master level, the specific number they do not know, among which there may be a Sword Master guarding there, and the number of others is about 5,000. Liang Hua said with a smile.

After listening to this Kong Ming, he couldn't help but think about something, but when Liang Hua saw Kong Ming like this, he couldn't help but say: "You are really not interested at all!"

"What's wrong?" said Kong Ming.

"You don't ask, what's interesting?"

"Hehe, you're not done yet, what am I asking?" Kong Ming asked rhetorically.

"Haha, kick it to the iron plate! Just now he fished my appetite, the cow is enough to choke, haha!" Zhan Tianhang on the side laughed.

"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you!" Liang Hua glanced at Zhan Tianhang, and then continued: "It is said that they found a treasure about sixty kilometers east of the town, and I don't know what it is, but that Sword Saint has brought more than twenty seventh-level powerhouses and several Magisters there since yesterday, and he still hasn't returned." So now is the time when the camp is empty. ”

"Is there such a thing?" Kong Ming thought for a moment, and then asked, "Did you ask them who is guarding the camp now, how many people are there, how many people are in the camp, and how are they distributed?"

"It's just a few, it's not very comprehensive. ”

"What's going on?"

"People are too chaotic, they really can't tell the difference, so there are some contradictions between the two in this regard. ”

"What contradiction?"

"There is a discrepancy between the size of the detention and the number of people. The important thing is that they don't seem to know much about these things, because they change every day, and they only say this when they see it from the air. ”

"Oh, did they say how big their camp was at the beginning?"

"No, but they said that in the beginning, they only occupied the town, but now the outside of the town has been expanded by five circles, and there are still a lot of people on the way. ”

Hearing this, Kong Ming couldn't help but get excited, if these two news were confirmed, then the current town was empty, although they still had more than thirty great sword masters, but once the entire camp was in chaos, these were just separated, and the current situation was definitely beyond the control of that sword master. And he wasn't there, and it was a chance, a chance to rescue a whole bunch of people, and a chance to defeat the Harvey, even the prisoner of war turmoil didn't have such a good chance. First, there are many people who have been arrested, and most of them are civilians in the vicinity, so to speak, there must be many hidden strong people in it, and these strong people are a kind of hidden power, which can give the enemy a fatal blow when it is critical, and second, although the enemy has more than 30 seventh-level strongmen, but for such a large camp, even if they are not scattered, but once the chaos starts, where they are, where can they tell what level of that person is, at this time, it is the time to ambush the enemy, of course, this kind of ambush can only be carried out so many times, if more, once the enemy discovers, this trick will not work, but even so many times is a huge blow to the enemy, What's more, if these people run away again, the enemy's situation will be even worse, you know, the enemy's entire escort team is not guarded by a few saints. By the time the Juggernaut reacted, how could he catch so many people by himself? In the end, they could only be empty. Thinking of this, Kong Ming raised his head, and because he thought that he didn't hear what Liang Hua said clearly, he said: "Liang Hua, you rush back to the camp immediately, let them set off immediately, and reach the north of that town, about five kilometers away, hide it, and the rest of us will arrive later." Immediately!" said Sora solemnly.

"Yes!" Hearing Kong Ming say this, Liang said subconsciously. Then, looking at Kong Ming, he thought about it, but didn't explain anything. Then, immediately run towards the place where the team is hiding.

Looking at Liang Hua's distant figure, Zhan Tianhang didn't dare to speak, because at this time, he felt that Kong Ming was a little different, becoming more strict and unpredictable. However, at this moment, Kong Ming was thinking differently, he was thinking, if the situation was really as the intelligence said, how they should act, etc., constantly weighing the course of the entire battle and the method of contingency.
