Chapter 153: Flying Bear Jiang Shang, Water Prison Cave Heaven
The location of the water dungeon is halfway up Wushan Mountain, which is a bottomless sinkhole, which has been held countless times for hundreds of thousands of years, and it cannot enter the sinkhole without special skills.
This place is twelve miles away from the territory, and Tang Ping doesn't want to go there now, thinking about waiting for the territory to get over there and then see the situation.
After that, Tang Ping continued to go back to practice.
Now that the cultivation progress is more than halfway, there are still about a hundred years left, that is, to break through to the late stage of manifestation.
In the past, Tang Ping might have been anxious because of the slow promotion of cultivation, but now he seems to be much calmer.
In the past, the highest realm was only oneself, and if I couldn't withstand it, I would be sad in the future, and the foundation would even be ruined.
Not necessarily now, the two sisters are in front, and they don't have to be in a hurry.
Anyway, cultivation is steadily rising, this is its own path, a different path.
"Shinto is about cooperation, and it is true that talents must be cultivated personally, but there is also a mind to accept outsiders who admire Shinto."
Tang Ping thought.
A generation of new people replaces the old, and the new people may not become talents, but they also need to be continuously cultivated so that they can continue. For the absorption of fresh blood from the outside, do not fall behind.
Tang Ping returned to the White Dragon Cave Mansion to practice, and the sacrifices on the side of Wushan were scattered to the tribes of the Three Kingdoms for sacrifice, and the beliefs were scattered as much as possible, so as not to be discovered by others.
In the years that followed, Tang Ping devoted himself to cultivation.
In the White Dragon Cave Mansion, day and night, sit and watch the tide rise and fall, and the flowers bloom and fail.
On this day, a flame flew here, revealing a red-haired man.
This is the hustle and bustle of the eighth prince of the Fire Country.
"Meet the Lord!"
"What's the matter with you?" Tang Ping was puzzled.
"My father is about to retire and go to the Buddha for retreat, and in about three months, he will pass on to his eldest son."
Whoever is strong in the country of worship of fire is the king, and as for this strength, it refers to cultivation and flames.
The eldest son will leave the fire in the south, and this fire is extremely powerful, and it is the first fire in the country of worship.
"Your cultivation is good now, and your brothers are all cultivating equally, can you be confident of defeating it?"
"Absolutely." This bit of hustle and bustle is very confident, he has been cultivating for many years, and he has a god position, so he doesn't even have this ability, so he just goes into the ground.
"But ......," said this, Feng Huan looked embarrassed, "The Fire Worship King is a very selfish person, even if he wins this time, I am afraid that he will not succeed in ascending the throne." ”
"Why?"
"For the flame of the firstborn is the same as that of the Fire King."
And Fenghuan's life experience is not very good, his mother is a defeated captive, his mother was sent to the Fire King to play with, the birth of Fenghuan is an accident, if it weren't for his mother's pregnancy, I'm afraid he would have been rewarded to his subordinates.
Therefore, Fenghuan's status is not high, and it can even be said that he is disgusted by the Fire Worship King, so if he wins, the Fire Worship King will definitely regret it, and even if he does not regret it, he must leave most of his property to his brother, and then there may only be an empty throne left.
"You can convince people with virtue, you take Zhang Wulang together, Zhang Wulang has profound virtues, knows reason, and moves with affection, your father will be moved, and my brother is also humble and friendly."
Tang Ping smiled mysteriously.
Shinto has developed to this point, and the country of worshipping fire seems insignificant, and the cultivation of the king of worship is also a meal.
Zhang Wulang and Zhu Man can solve it by going to one of them, and they don't even need the goddess of Xiangshui to come out.
Feng Huan's eyes lit up, bowed down, and said, "Thank you for your guidance." ”
"By the way, that Nan Ming is away from the fire, and he will send a little over another day."
There are dozens or hundreds of flames in the fire-worshipping country, which is enough to use until you die.
"Yes."
Feng Huan took Tang Ping's token and used his magic to escape into the underworld.
When I came to the underworld, I found that the things in front of me were completely new.
Although it is still generally cold and gray, it is just a little less angry and crazy.
The underworld has always felt like this, and now there is a sense of peace and quiet.
Especially the Yellow Spring in the middle of the earth.
A steady stream of ghosts entered the spring water to wash, and then they came out easily, and the whole ghost was completely renewed.
"There is such a thing."
Feng Huan didn't care to look closely, and then flew to the palace under the banyan tree, and the ghosts and gods spread Zhang Wulang, and Zhang Wulang walked out.
"Brother Fengxian, long time no see."
"Don't dare to be, the king is polite." Feng Huan was flattered, and this was not an ordinary ghost in front of him.
This person is in the history books of the Chu State, and he is basically present at every point in time.
Then Feng Huan told Zhang Wulang about Tang Ping's arrangements one by one.
"Since it was arranged by the gods, then let's join you below."
Zhang Wulang didn't prepare too much, and went straight to the Fire Worship Country.
The story after that doesn't need to be elaborated, Feng Huan defeated the two brothers in the Bai Volcano, and the social fire with thousands of doppelgangers, coupled with the blessing of the altar, became more powerful.
On that day, there were thousands of winds in the Bai Volcano, and even if the competitors exhausted their strength and used up their spells, they still couldn't do anything.
The two brothers were defeated.
Sure enough, the Fire King broke the rules and insisted on handing over the throne to his eldest son.
Fortunately, Zhang Wulang appeared in time, understood it with reason, and moved it with affection, and finally made the Fire Worship King wake up, and finally returned the position to Feng Huan, and voluntarily entered the worship of the volcano to practice.
The fact that the first king entered the worship volcano is actually the same as the custom of "abandoning the old" of the ancient tribes, the king is useless when he is old, and his strength declines, so he begins to abdicate and enter the practice of worshipping the volcano.
If it breaks through, it will be to go to the next level and continue to lead the tribe to the top, if not, it will naturally become the nourishment of the volcano and contribute to future generations.
Feng Huan ascended the throne and sent an envoy to Jingdu to meet him, which meant that he officially joined the alliance of the Chu State and pledged allegiance to the Chu people, and from then on, the Chu culture had one more ally.
Xiaoxiang, Chu, Yu, and Huo, and the four kingdoms of Chu were established.
The allegiance of the biggest obstacle to the south, the allegiance of the Fire Nation, means that the door to the south is wide open, and the deeper Baiyue Land is open.
At the same time, the state of Chu shifted its focus to the south, there were too many fierce people in the north, there were masters in any city, and there were no people in the south, there was land everywhere, although the environment was harsh, but it was always beneficial to slowly open up.
Xiqi.
Weishui.
The north is a river, and the south is a river.
The river is also turbulent in this era, and a white-headed old man sits by the river, tired and fishing.
This person seemed to be one with heaven and earth, and the clouds swirled around it, and the white clouds faintly converged into a flying bear.
Ji Chang led his entourage to visit by car.
"Is there really a master in this place?" Nangong Shi was puzzled.
This place is so remote, the eyes are a little better, and you can still see the smoke rising from the Rongjun city not far away.
Nangong Shi is most familiar with this, but generally where there is a beacon fire, there must be Xirong, this gang is very united, once the beacon fire rises, there will be warriors from ten directions to support.
The Zhou people have been deeply troubled in these years, the Shang people have led troops to invade, and the Rong people have plundered the border, both sides are very strong, and there is no place worse than this.
Ji Chang dreamed of flying bears a few days and nights, and explained that this was a sign of a genius taking refuge, so he informed the minister Nangong Shi of the information in the dream, and Nangong Shi deduced it, came to a conclusion, and brought Ji Chang to this place.
"There are strange people here, and it is rumored that they fish with straight hooks."
"Straight hook fishing?" Ji Chang was a little surprised and said, "Can you fish it out?" ”
"Never caught a fish."
"What does that mean?"
"There are also people who ask like this, this person said that he would rather take it in the straight, not ask for the song, not set up for the brocade scales, and only fish for the king and the marquis."
Ji Chang stroked his palms and laughed, and said: "Haha, interesting, it's really a genius, it seems that we are the fish, let's go, take the bait." ”
Ji Chang stepped forward to talk to this person and learned that this person's name was Jiang Shang, and Jiang Shang knew that Ji Chang was coming, so he didn't show any surprise.
The next day, Ji Chang prepared a generous gift and asked Jiang Shang to come out of the mountain.
Ji Chang said: "The first monarch once said: 'There will be a saint to come to Zhou, and the Zhou will prosper because of this.'" When we see you today, we know that the saint is you, and we have been looking forward to you for a long time. ”
Since then, Jiang Shang has also had the title of Taigongwang.
Jiang Shang was deeply moved, and the two took a car back to the dynasty together, and Ji Chang named Jiang Shang as the Taishi.
Jiang Shang also lived up to expectations, he asked Ji Chang for advice, and said: "The great cause of the merchants, even if we have the destiny of heaven, it will not be possible without the help of outsiders. ”
"How can the world help each other?"
"The kingdoms have been deeply harmed by the king of Shang, and we hope for peace in our hearts, so we don't need to show off our might, but we can cultivate benevolence."
Jiang Shang's strategy is virtue, virtue seems to be ethereal, but it is a great help to reputation, and action is action, fame alone is not enough, but also action.
The route of blind expansion will not work, and it will not work to take the road of Dayi merchants, the real Dayi merchants are there, can you learn from others, can you surpass the deity?
"In addition to all dangers and fertile lands, other places can generously divide others, set policies for loving the people internally, do things that benefit the people, train soldiers and horses, and recuperate."
"Restrain other countries with patriarchal rituals, and abolish bloody and cruel human sacrifices."
Ji Chang wrote them down one by one.
"Externally unite the princes who are dissatisfied with the Dayi merchants and make friends with strong reinforcements. How to be trusted? Benevolence also. ”
A few years later, Yu and Rui had a land dispute, and Ji Chang made a clear decision, which was praised as the mandate of heaven.
Jiang Shang went to Xirong again, and in the Zhongshan area, he urged the Xirong tribes to reconcile with the Western Zhou Dynasty, first of all, the dragon head who was the same descendant of Houji as the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the people of Daye, Xishan, Daze, and Chi.
There is also Wu Xianguo, who holds a green snake in his left hand and a red snake in his right; The enlightened country that worships the enlightened beast and guards the Yellow River, as well as the highly developed husband country.
Although these people are Xirong, they are also descendants of Yanhuang and Miao, and many of them are remnants of the Xia Dynasty.
Ji Chang is benevolent, in stark contrast to the brutal Di Xin.
Suddenly, more and more princes turned to pay tribute to the Western Zhou.
This move aroused Di Xin's jealousy, but he did not intensify the contradiction on the surface, but praised Xibo Hou Jichang's behavior of rectifying the princes.
And Ji Chang is the same.
Xiaobang Zhou against Dayi Shang, itself is an extremely unequal battle, the Shang country has a 10,000-year-old heritage, and there is an emperor's soul to guard the song, the song is like a city that cannot fall.
Before the power to destroy the withering and decaying, it is absolutely impossible to act rashly.
The undercurrents of both sides are surging, and the world pattern has changed.
Emperor Xin accelerated the speed of absorbing the emperor's soul, as well as the conquest of the Quartet, and must firmly control the power in his hands.
The great enemy is still Dongyi, and the ten Xibohou are not as good as one Dongyi, followed by Beidi.
Stabilize these two places, so that you can control Xibohou at will.
Emperor Xin's martial arts are world-famous, and every expedition must be personally visited, relying on cruel means and awarding titles, the princes of the East Road gradually became powerful, many Yi countries were naturalized, and the living space of Dongyi was compressed to the coast.
Judging from the bright side, the development of Dashang is something that Xibohou can't catch up with.
When everyone was fighting in full swing, Chu Guo seemed a little monotonous.
Anyway, the position is biased enough, and it belongs to the kind that is not qualified to sit in the meeting.
While trading with the Western Zhou Dynasty, he was loyal to Emperor Xin. Left and right, happy.
In the White Dragon Cave Mansion, Tang Ping has nothing to do, except for cultivation, which is to go shopping in a chariot.
Look at new things once in a while, or just ignite a few creatures and give you some resources at will. Or as an old man, go down to tell stories.
All he had to do was wait.
and so on to become stronger, and so on for territorial expansion.
One year, ten years, one hundred years and a thousand years. Anyway, I just don't go out of the mountain, and I will become stronger when I wait.
On this day, the walls of the cave were hung with charms flickering red, which looked extremely dazzling in the dim environment.
Tang Ping took it down and took a look, it turned out to be a message from the people of Danjing Qingyun Dao, this is the entry charm of Danjing, which can transmit relevant information.
"I almost forgot, and you guys." Tang Ping muttered to himself, and then sensed what he said.
It probably means that after eight years, the sect master will recompile the roster and position, and Tang Ping will withdraw no matter what, and Qingyun asked Tang Ping how his cultivation has been recently, what realm has he cultivated the Qiongdan Divine Theory, and what new Dan prescription he has.
"Danfang?"
There are not many pills, but with different flames, they can refine a lot of extremely high-quality pills.
Tang Ping now has four kinds of fire on his body, social fire, sea fire, fire phoenix fire, and yin fire.
The nature of these flames is different, and the elixirs refined are also different.
Tang Ping has now mastered what materials to use and what flames to use, which can not only improve efficiency, but also maximize the medicinal properties.
"Feel free to give me some Danfang."
Tang Ping sent the results of his research over the years, and this thing was enough to prove that he was a genius.
"As for the ...... that won't pass in eight years"
Tang Ping figured it out, he could go over, but not deeply, the matter here has not been dealt with yet.
The Daxi tribe in the north and the Yongguo in the west are a threat, and the Yuren don't know when they will enter again.
After thinking about it, Tang Ping still felt that it was better to be stable.
Let's settle the clown matter first.
After a few years, the territory finally expanded to Wushan Water Dungeon.
"It's finally here."
At night, Tang Ping suspended in the void.
Below is a sinkhole of a black hole, a hundred feet wide, which can be described as bottomless, and there is a pool of black water underneath.
He found one thing, there is no space in this underground, it should be a small cave outside the independent world like the Sword Gorge Ghost City.
Tang Ping's heart moved, and he fell into it.
There are various reliefs on the cave wall, most of which are dragons with teeth and claws and various water genera.
If you look closely, these things are still moving.
It is actually a living creature, they have been guarding here for thousands of years, but it is a pity that they can't see Tang Ping under the moon shading method.
Tang Ping fell into the water, the water quality was pitch black, there were countless pitch-black particles, faintly visible bones, and even highly toxic.
I don't know how long it fell.
Wow!
Suddenly, there was a light in front of me, as if I had crossed a certain prohibition, the water was gone, and human voices were faintly heard around.
