Chapter 23: The First Day of the Ninth Month
Time passed, seven days passed like a white horse, and before you knew it, September was coming.
[The first day of the ninth month, the year of the Lunar New Year, the month of Renxu, the day of Bingwu, the day of the second day, should be ······ 】
Jiang Li paused his calculations and looked away from the calendar that appeared on the set of cause and effect.
When the Son of Heaven reversed the day, he returned to autumn for spring, and now the climate near the Shendu is difficult to match with the time of the day, and the calendar divination will naturally have large or small errors.
Although calendars are generally based on celestial phenomena, climate is also an integral part of it, not to mention that today's climate is not a natural evolution, but a result of someone's will.
In addition, the Divine Capital is the capital city of the Great Zhou, the pivot of the number of qi, and the three products······ Now I'm afraid that even the master can't do divination like a god, right? ’
Jiang Li had already discovered that his current divination accuracy was not as good as seven days ago, and Tianxuan had also been affected nine times out of ten.
Perhaps, seven days ago, she suddenly wanted to make up for herself, not only because of the chatter of the two elders Tianji and Wuqu, but also because she noticed the confusion in the heavens near the Shendu and was worried that Jiang Li would be defeated.
'The water in Shendu is really deep. ’
The thought crossed over the mind, and then it became invisible, leaving only a piece of peace, restoring the calmest heart.
Jiang Li walked down the path unhurriedly, walking towards the shooting platform.
······
······
The shooting platform, located on the east mountain adjacent to Longyuan Lake, is a huge rock located in the middle of the mountain.
The boulder hangs in the air, the top is large and the bottom is small, and it is topped by several pieces of chaotic stones, as if it is crumbling, and most of the volume is outside the mountain, which is extremely steep. There is a plane of about three zhang square circle on the top, and there are two faint footprints on it, one in front and one in the back into a lunge, which is rumored to be left by the first Zhou Tianzi.
Both the Ji family and the Jiang family started in the northwest, and the ancestral land was not conducive to building the capital, so they needed to find another place. After Yi Dao's calculations, the ancestors of the two clans finally selected 3,000 miles around Longyuan Lake as the capital and established a dynasty here.
At that time, Longyuan Lake was under the jurisdiction of a dragon king, and because of the disobedience of the two clans, they resisted, and finally fought to the death near the shooting platform.
At that time, Taizu based on the boulder of Dongshan, took the Qiankun bow, twisted the arrow that shook the sky, one arrow to calm the wind and rain, one arrow to calm the flood, and one arrow to kill the dragon king.
This matter is recorded in the history books, and it should be true.
Later, this place was called "shooting dragon platform", and because the Great Zhou Dynasty took the dragon as the totem, the name was ominous, and the dragon was degraded as Jiao, and it was changed to "shooting Jiaotai".
Yuan Zhen set this place as a place of duel, and he also had a brave mind of either life or death.
When the time came to noon, when the yang energy was at its peak, there were a large number of people watching near the Jiaotai early in the morning, and there were all kinds of boats gathering on the water surface of Longyuan Lake.
The light and shadow flickered, and three Taoists, one old and one middle-aged and one young, appeared on a hill in Dongshan.
The old man is the person who talked to the young man in Tsing Yi that day, the Taoist master Dan Xuzi, and the middle-aged Taoist looks like he is just past the doubt, with slender forehead and eyebrows, long beard fluttering, head tied in a bun, large sleeves and wide robes, silk and linen shoes, and his temperament is dusty, but there is a kind of leisure and leisurely behavior between the manners, not like there is a true way, but like a hermit in the countryside.
As for the young man, it is naturally Zhang Daoyi, a closed disciple of Daojun.
It's just that today's Zhang Daoyi, his qi is more vigorous than in the past, and the automatic strong wind follows him in every move, obviously because his skills have improved greatly in a short period of time, and it is somewhat difficult to converge.
He was promoted.
Seeing his situation, Dan Xuozi sighed softly: "If you can obtain the Dao Fruit of Pure Yang Zhenren, with the foundation of your junior disciple, your skill should increase by another three percent, and you can control it as you like." Why is the junior brother in a hurry to be promoted, when Yuan Zhen regains the Dao Fruit, he can be promoted to the only one by the Pure Yang True Dao Fruit. ”
"But if it's because of this, wouldn't it increase the burden on Master Yuan Zhen's nephew?"
Zhang Daoyi shook his head slowly and said, "Poor Dao wants to let Master Yuan Zhen's nephew fight for himself, not for me. The fruits of the Tao obtained in this way are deserved by the poor Dao. ”
"Hypocrisy!" When the middle-aged Taoist heard this, he sneered.
"Senior Brother Wenxu!" Dan Xuzi couldn't help frowning.
"But it's a good hypocrisy," Wenxu Daoist added, "The difficulty of Dao Fruit cultivation is much lower than that of ancient cultivation, so many cultivators ignore the cultivation of state of mind. If you can give up certain desires for the sake of your own state of mind, the mere harvest is better than accommodating the unique realm. Anyway, you don't have no way to improve your skills. ”
Cultivators of the Dao Fruit System will find it difficult to refine their skills after reaching a certain level, because their skills are all from themselves, and when their potential is tapped, they need to be promoted to increase the upper limit.
However, the ancient method of cultivation can be used to make a breakthrough by extracting the qi of heaven and earth, and Zhang Daoyi actually does not have the Dao fruit in his body, and he can also improve all the way.
To him, the ability to be a unique Dao Fruit was not too important.
"This makes the junior brother even more ashamed, it is for this not very important Dao Fruit, Yuan Zhen's nephew wants to fight with that Jiang Daoyou to the death······" Zhang Daoyi smiled even more bitterly.
"It doesn't have to be because of you."
The Wen group shook his head and said: "One of you two has been promoted, and the other has helped Yuan Zhen to refine the pill, I don't know the news that has been circulating in the Divine Capital in recent days." I heard that the death of the Jiang family in Yunxian County was related to the four princes, and now the four princes have accommodated the three corpses of the Jiang family in Yunxian County. ”
"Three Corpse Gods?!" Dan Xuozi's brows were slightly raised, and a fierce color appeared, "Is this true?" ”
As a major sect of the Xuanmen, Daodaozong naturally did not know what the three corpse gods represented, and on that day, Zhang Daoyi and Yuan Zhen were in the same place as the four princes.
The three corpse gods can provoke the thoughts of others, if the four princes provoke the delusions in Yuan Zhen's heart at a critical moment, then ······
Not only Danxuzi, Zhang Daoyi already had a wisp of evil on his face.
If this rumor is true, then Yuan Zhen will disturb people's promotion, and maybe there will be the promotion of the four princes.
Quietly, the four princes added one more enemy.
Zhang Dao, who learned the news, was bent on killing, and also covered up his shame in disguise. Seeing this, Dan Xuozi's eyes moved slightly, and he said to Wenxu: "Can you be sure that the fourth prince made a move?" ”
"How can this be determined, now that the Dinghu faction is here, there is no reason for it, it is good to avoid the heart barrier of the first junior disciple of Daoyi," Wenxu Daoist replied casually, "Anyway, he Ji Chengyuan has bad intentions, and he is inseparable from Yuan Zhen's shot, and it doesn't hurt to carry another pot." ”
"Oh, say that one, and that one will come. The people from the Dinghu faction came. ”
Wenxu Daoist said as he looked at a mountain peak not far away.
I saw the starlight on the mountain peak, turning into a star, and three figures appeared among the changing stars, and a breath of energy that could not be used enveloped the mountain peak, making others have no way to go up the peak.
Tianxuan, Tianji, Wuqu, and the three elders of the Dinghu faction also arrived.
Tianxuan was dressed in a moon white palace suit, her face was covered with a light veil, and a pair of moon-like eyes looked from afar, and a faint starlight suddenly appeared on the mountain here.
"It seems that today is the time to decide whether to live or die." Wenxu Daoist exhaled lightly and said.
If the elders on both sides have not arrived, or one party has arrived and the other has not arrived, it means that there is still room for concessions, but if they have arrived, then there is no room for turnaround.
The elders on the side of the Daode Sect arrived first, just to ask the attitude of the Dinghu faction, if the other party chooses not to show up, it means that they do not want to establish a contradiction, and the other party directly appears and demonstrates with their eyes, which means that the Dinghu faction refuses.
Next, it's up to each to do it.
"Well, then it's up to each person." Dan Xuzi appeared in the Taiqing Immortal Light, sweeping away the aura of the stars that quietly dispersed.
At the same time, the other people around the shooting platform are also waiting for the two protagonists to appear.
Time passed slowly, and when the sun was shining, the two figures appeared almost simultaneously.
Breaking the clouds, despising thousands of mountains, a sword coming from the west, and the sword swinging the wind and clouds.
Yuan Zhen Imperial Sword came, and the five-colored sword light fell from the sky like a rainbow, falling straight to the Jiaotai.
On Longyuan Lake, the boy in Tsing Yi was standing on a small boat, and when he saw this scene, his eyes were dark.
"In the end, I chose to win." He sighed softly.
Seeking the Tao or winning, the advice he has given, with the heart of Dan Xuzi, will definitely not be ignored. But if Yuan Zhen made his own decision, Dan Xuzi could only help.
"It is said that Jiang Li has lost his sharpness, but now it seems that it is you who has really lost his sharpness." The boy in Tsing Yi said softly.
However, the loss of sharpness is exchanged for stronger strength.
The sword light fell on the stage, Yuan Zhen appeared, and the five-colored sword qi behind him stood like a pillar of heaven, the sword momentum was overwhelming, and there seemed to be sword shadows flashing in all directions.
On the other hand, Jiang Li seems to have no qi, his body is like a phantom, and it is clearly reflected in his eyes, but if it is a flicker, his eyes move slightly, and he will find that Jiang Li has completely disappeared from his own perception, as if he does not exist.
It was as if he had turned into the wind, merged into the light, merged into the ······ World.
"Zheng Zheng Zheng Zheng ·······"
The sound of swords rang out from all directions.
Jiang Li seemed to be gone, but between his actions, the momentum of heaven and earth was also moving, moving, crushing the flashing sword shadow, and everywhere he passed was the sound of a broken sword.
He stepped on the wind, leaving behind countless transparent and broken sword shadows, and his steps touched the Jiaojiao platform, and the qi collided, and a storm swept out of thin air.
"It's a loss of sharpness."
Jiang Li's eyes were like torches, and he was insightful, "But this is a tragic ······ It seems that you are ready to die. ”
"If you don't have such an awareness, how dare you go on this stage." Yuan Zhen said lightly.
Now, is it possible to say "sigh, can you reconcile" to turn hostility into friendship?
Whether it is in their own decision, state of mind, or out of the reputation and position of the sect, and other factors, one must die on this shooting platform today.
Yuan Zhen's blocking Jiang Li's promotion is tantamount to a great enmity of life and death, Jiang Li bothered to force him to this step, and he was willing to give up.
Jiang Li has the handle of Yuan Zhen in his hand, and although it cannot damage the foundation of the Daode Sect when it spreads, it is hindered by the lintel after all, and the two sides have already formed a grudge that is difficult to resolve, and Yuan Zhen naturally has the heart to eradicate it.
So······
"Both the superior and the inferior,"
"It's life and death."
It's still a little late, embarrassing.
But fortunately, the first one is coming.
