Chapter 394: Three Birds with One Stone
The world is full of fragrant flowers in April, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple are in full bloom.
The calendar of the New World is the same as the lunar calendar of the Tang Dynasty.
At the beginning of April, the peach blossoms in Weiyang Palace bloomed extraordinarily gorgeously.
"Concubine Ai, how long have you been back in the palace?" The empress looked at the peach blossoms and suddenly asked.
"More than a month." Pei Guifei replied.
"How much does Concubine Ai remember the information about Beiju Luzhou sent by the Investigation Division?" The Empress asked again.
"Most of them remember, there is a temple in Beiju Luzhou, three kingdoms, and many tribes."
"The temple is also called the temple of gods, and eighty percent of the people of Luzhou in the north are all believers in the temple."
"There are two theories about the temple, one is that the eight major sects of Beiju Luzhou formed an alliance back then, and the prototype of the temple was born; Another theory is that the temple was born, destroying the eight major sects and unifying the beliefs of the entire Beiju Luzhou. ”
"The three kingdoms are the Han Kingdom, the Zhou Kingdom, and the Hundred Holy Kingdoms."
"The Han Kingdom, also known as the Han Dynasty, is mainly a gathering place for the human race."
"The Zhou State, also known as the Great Zhou Dynasty, advocates that there is no class in education, all beings are equal, and the human race and the demon race live together and marry."
"The Hundred Holy Kingdom gathered monsters who regarded themselves as saints, and the Hundred Demon Kings supported a demon emperor to the throne and established the country."
"Interestingly, these three great powers all believe in the divine right of kings."
"Every new generation of kings succeeds to the throne and needs to be crowned by the temple."
Pei Zhenren talked endlessly, saying one thing at a time.
In the past month or so, he has really worked all kinds of information about Beiju Luzhou.
"Good."
The empress was more satisfied with Concubine Pei's performance, and suddenly changed the topic: "You used to help people promote their spiritual roots in just a few days, but now that more than a month has passed, why have my spiritual roots not been able to ascend to the stars?" ”
Pei Guifei is full of desire to survive: "Your Majesty, the situation is like this, it is easier for low-level spiritual roots to be promoted. The higher the level of the spiritual root, the more difficult it is to ascend to the star. His Majesty is already a seven-star spiritual root that has not been encountered in a thousand years, even if he is not promoted, it is enough to crown Shenzhou. ”
The empress turned her head to look directly at Pei Yin: "Is it difficult for high-level spiritual roots to be promoted, or are you not careful?" ”
Pei Guifei said weakly: "The concubine is afraid, what exactly does Your Majesty mean by what intentions?" ”
The empress pointed out: "Listen to Yu'er, you are in love with those women in the human world, and you are very hardworking. When I came to me, I inevitably did not work hard and did things perfunctorily. ”
"Misunderstanding, Your Majesty, this is a pure misunderstanding!" Pei Guifei looked aggrieved: "In front of the blue water divine skill, all beings are equal." How hard the concubines work, Your Majesty should be able to feel. ”
"Then tell me, why can't I ascend to the star of the spiritual root?" The Empress is back to the old topic.
"With all due respect, Your Majesty has a knot in his heart, and it is difficult to break through the barrier. When the curse is lifted, His Majesty will soar into the sky, not to mention the promotion of the eight-star spiritual root, even the nine-star spiritual root. Pei Yin bragged that he didn't even make drafts.
"Okay, I'll wait for you to lift the curse." The empress made a decision: "Tomorrow I will leave and I will personally send you to the border." When you arrive in Beiju Luzhou, everything has to rely on Concubine Ai's improvisation, and no one can help you. ”
Pei Yin was shocked when he heard this: "Your Majesty has always been well-planned, is there no plan for me to carry it out?" ”
The empress said, "Originally, there was a rather elaborate plan, but I vetoed it a few days ago. Some things have to depend on fate, and the heavier the scheming, the more jealous you are, which is often counterproductive. ”
"Besides, Concubine Ai has her own style of doing things, and the plan I have arranged will inevitably limit your performance."
"Concubine Ai is a person with great luck, it is better to let you do what you want, you can come as you want."
Such a high degree of freedom made Pei Guifei feel a lot of pressure: "Your Majesty, I heard that there are countless kinds of heavenly opportunities hidden in the Heavenly Dao Monument, and the things that each monk has realized are different. What exercises do concubines need to comprehend to lift the curse? ”
A hint of expectation flashed in the empress's eyes, and she replied with three words: "Thirteen shots." ”
"That's a set of marksmanship?" Pei Yin was stunned when he heard this.
"Sort of." The empress reacted a little strangely.
Pei Yin was completely rectified: "Your Majesty, you know that I am a sword cultivator, let me go to learn marksmanship, this is not appropriate, right?" ”
The empress did not accept the rebuttal: "There is nothing inappropriate, the avenues are different, and the concubine has already comprehended the origin of swordsmanship, and has also achieved the same achievements as the marksmanship." ”
"When you get close to the Heavenly Dao Monument, you may be able to comprehend all kinds of heavenly opportunities, remember that I only need you to learn the "Thirteen Guns"."
"If you can learn something else beyond the Thirteen Shots, it's your own creation."
Pei Yin was silent, he understood the depth of the empress more and more, and there was no room for negotiation when it came to learning "Thirteen Guns".
"Concubine Ai rests early and leaves early tomorrow morning."
After the empress finished speaking, she left, not giving Pei Yin the slightest room to maneuver.
Pei Yin came back to his senses and asked in his heart, "Shuang'er, what are the thirteen guns?" ”
Baili Shuangshuang replied: "Unheard of." ”
Pei Yin's whole person is not good: "What you don't even know, why does the empress think that I can learn thirteen guns?" ”
Baili Shuangshuang said: "In order to lift the curse, Hongyan has collected information for five hundred years, so she must have been prepared. The so-called "Thirteen Guns" may not be able to directly lift the curse, but it is certain that it is the key point to help her lift the curse. ”
Pei Yin still had questions: "You said before that everyone has different things to comprehend from the Heavenly Dao Monument, a sword cultivator like me, even if it resonates with the Heavenly Dao Monument, it would be good to be able to comprehend a little swordsmanship, the empress seems to have decided that I can comprehend thirteen guns, why is this?" ”
Baili Shuangshuang said: "This matter is really incomprehensible, I can't figure it out for a while." ”
Pei Yin had a headache for a while, so he simply changed his thinking: "Let's talk about something else, the news of the Investigation Department should be quite reliable, and now the Far North Xuantie is in the hands of the Han royal family." This kind of royal treasure is stored in the treasury, and it is guarded by a seventh-order master, how can I get the Extreme North Xuantie? ”
Shuang'er restored the demeanor of a female military division: "This matter is not difficult, the northeastern border of the Han Kingdom, adjacent to the Hundred Holy Kingdom, there is a perennial war between the two countries. The Han Kingdom is the only country in the north of Luzhou that has a festival with the demon clan, as long as it is a human race, go to the Great Wall in the north to kill the demon, accumulate meritorious deeds, and the Han court has its own rewards. ”
"It just so happens that Brother Niu, you are good at slaying demons, and while slaying demons, you accumulate meritorious deeds, which can be called killing two birds with one stone."
"Brother Aniu, as a sword cultivator, when he has saved enough merits, he proposes to use the extreme northern Xuantie to refine the natal flying sword, and the Han court should give this face."
"If everything goes well, maybe we can find out the whereabouts of the Nine Lives Demon King's body, which can be described as killing three birds with one stone."
Pei Yin's eyes lit up: "This is a good way!" ”
Soon he returned to reality: "However, the first Heavenly Dao Monument is in the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty. With the style of the empress, she will definitely send me to the Zhou State first, and when the time comes, I want to go from the Zhou State to the Han Kingdom, I am afraid it will not be an ordinary trouble. ”
"It's not a hassle, it's a good thing." The female military division has the chance to win.
"How?" Pei Yin said curiously.
"Although the human race and the demon race can both go to the Great Zhou to comprehend the first Heavenly Dao Monument. Since ancient times, there is no one in ten thousand who can comprehend the heavens from the inscriptions. ”
"On the other hand, once you comprehend the Heavenly Dao Monument, it is a material that can be made, and it will be valued by the Temple of the Gods."
"The Temple of the Gods will give a letter of recommendation to such a talent, and with this token, you can enjoy the high-ranking officials in the Great Zhou, and you can also go to the Han Dynasty to serve."
"And this kind of operation?" Pei Yin was stunned when he heard this: "But I'm not a native of Beiju Luzhou, or even a native of the realm, so the Temple of the Gods is really willing to recommend me?" ”
"This is exactly the genius of the Temple of the Gods, which attaches great importance to talents and has a far-reaching reputation, which makes the monks of the Nine Continents of the Earth Realm defect one after another. There were once people who were chased and killed by the enemy in Xiniu Hezhou and Nanzhan Buzhou, and fled to Beiju Luzhou, and the Heavenly Dao Monument was recommended by the temple, leaving a lot of good stories. ”
Baili Shuangshuang said: "In addition, there were monks who flew up from the human world in the past, and they were also recommended by the temple. There are also religious believers who join the temple of gods and become priests with considerable status. ”
"I'm relieved to hear you say that." Pei Yin breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Brother Niu, is this a complete grasp of the Heavenly Dao Monument?" Baili Shuangshuang asked.
"Shuang'er, have you forgotten that I have a river map." Pei Yin's smile was very sullen.
Shuang'er immediately drew inferences: "According to legend, the river map can crack the mysteries of the heavens and stars, and it can also crack the heavenly monument?" ”
