"The martial artists in the world can be roughly divided into three levels. ”

"The first level, from the ninth rank to the first grade realm, this realm is for ordinary martial arts, and the abilities they use are generally from themselves, and it is common to cross the border to break the enemy. For example, those sword idiots in the Sword Valley in the southeast Shu region, when they use their skills, even if their realm is not high, they are all good at killing. In this realm, most of them are to strengthen the body and build a foundation, in order to break through the heavens at one time. ”

"The second level is the Heavenly Realm, which is divided into three distinctions: Heavenly Beings refining the body, Heavenly Immortals refining Qi, and Heavenly Gods refining Gods. The highest realm of the heavenly beings is the angry eyes of the vajra, but the physical body is not rotten, and the highest realm of the heavenly immortals is to constantly break through the ten thousand laws in one breath, and the highest realm of the heavenly gods is slightly difficult to describe. ”

Speaking of this, the old drunkard stared at the little drunkard's gaze, and a golden light rushed out from his eyes, and the little drunkard seemed to feel that he was sitting on the top of the mountain to the clouds, as if he had become a feather, and the old drunkard chuckled, his eyes changed to an ordinary appearance, and the little drunkard felt that he was back on the earth, and there was a cold sweat between his back.

"This is the law of the gods, and its highest state is that people are still alive, but you think you are dead. ”

"And the third level, the heavens, the gods, the world, the people call the saints, the saints are about the mortals to call the immortals, turning over the hands for the clouds and the hands for the rain, is the strongest force in this world. Of course, it doesn't have to be a great achievement of the three, and there are also ancients who have only practiced one realm to the deepest level and become holy in a single realm, but there will always be some weaknesses in this way. ”

And the practice of martial arts itself is also divided into three levels. ”

"The first level is what the world says, strengthen the body and practice martial arts, find some internal strength exercises to practice, and then find some external skills to practice, so they become the so-called masters, but such masters, no matter how high they are, they can't break through the heavenly realm, and the reason why the heavenly realm is the heavenly realm is because it is no longer the category of martial arts. ”

"The second level is the realization, this world is a grass and a tree, all have their reason, through its understanding of its way can stand up to break the heavens, so you may not understand, but this thing, not enough to be with outsiders, only when you reach that opportunity, you can realize it yourself, for example, you now have a first-class realm, but your external and internal skills, you have not practiced, this is the reason. ”

"The third level is to have your own path, it is difficult to find two similar flowers in this world, when you become the most unique existence in the world, you have your own path, when you come to the end of this road, become the pioneer of this path, then you have probably touched the edge of the sage. ”

"In this world, mortal realms may be able to cross the border to kill people, and it is also possible to kill people in the heavenly realm, but the saint, no one can cross the border to kill them. The old drunkard's face became very solemn, he looked at the little drunkard who was staring at him intently, listening intently to his martial arts, and his face involuntarily showed a smile and a little pride.

The little drunkard saw that the old drunkard began to stare at him, felt a little unhappy, and said: "Old drunkard, you are so proud, could it be that you are the legendary number one in human force, the sage?" The little drunkard deliberately dragged the word sage for a long time, and looked at the old drunkard with a sneer.

The old drunkard's face froze instantly, and then he replied with some anger: "Lao Tzu is not yet, but it is also so high that you can't see it!"

"Hey, then why are you so proud, but in fact, you don't have to practice martial arts to break into the rivers and lakes, besides, although I have also become a first-class master in the people of the rivers and lakes, I really don't know, why do people practice martial arts?"

"The reason for practicing martial arts has to start a long time ago. At that time, there were not many people in this world, but there were many wild beasts, and human beings had to constantly struggle to survive, and when human beings did not find the fire and could not use tools to fight those beasts, they could only keep running away. ”

"One day, maybe it's because a man's wife is pregnant and can't run, maybe someone doesn't want to run, so he chooses to turn back and fight with the beast, and learn the attack method of the beast in the fight...... Since then, there has been the existence of Wu. ”

With the passage of time, today's martial arts have been extremely prosperous, some people practice martial arts to strengthen their bodies, some people practice martial arts to protect themselves, and some people practice martial arts for some ulterior purposes, but these can become the original intention of martial arts practitioners. ”

"Old fellow, then what were you practicing martial arts for?"

The old drunkard took a sip of wine with a smile and said proudly: "At the beginning, it was to make meritorious achievements, and then to protect someone." After speaking, the old drunkard's eyes dimmed, indeed, after I enter the Heavenly Realm, I will practice martial arts, just to protect you, but even you can't protect you, I have to become stronger, I think about the Heavenly Gate, see if I can find you there.

"So, after all, practicing martial arts is all for yourself?" the little drunkard bowed his head, as if he understood something.

"It's not all, the reasons are all found for yourself, but believe me, when you go to the heavenly realm, you will understand why you practice martial arts, practicing martial arts is not to violate the world's prohibitions, if a person only knows martial arts and loses his nature, then when he becomes the enemy of the world, even if he has the legendary sage realm, in front of the world, he is only vulnerable. ”

"After the martial artist really enters the heavenly realm, you are no longer just practicing martial arts for yourself, the root of your cultivation comes from this heaven and earth, you were born here, grew up here, and attained the Tao here, you should also give feedback to this heaven and earth, if those martial artists above the heavenly realm do not understand this truth, then their cultivation is nothing more than that. ”

The old drunkard stopped cross-legged, stood up, bent down and rubbed his somewhat soreness calves, looked at the little drunkard and asked with a serious face: "I want to ask you a good question, do you really want to practice martial arts?"

The little drunkard smiled and said, "Since I somehow have this so-called first-grade realm, wouldn't it be a loss if I don't practice martial arts well?"

There was a smile on the old drunkard's face.

"Okay, then I'll let you practice martial arts as you wish. ”

The little drunkard didn't know why, when he looked at the old drunkard's smile, he clearly felt that it was a bad smile, and he felt that the days he was about to come would be miserable.

Sure enough, I saw the old drunkard stretch out his hand, and a cloud fell from the sky, and the old drunkard waved his sleeve robe like sprinkling water, and the cloud shrouded the two of them, and the little drunkard only felt like he was in a fairyland.

Normally, when the little drunkard saw such a scene, he would naturally shout hello, but now he felt that he was in the clouds, and he felt like he was stuck in a quagmire, and his face could not help but be as pale as earth, and he could only show a wry smile on his face.

"This is just some little tricks in the Heavenly Immortal Realm, you realized martial arts a few days ago, and there is a feeling of overcoming rigidity with softness, you are cultivating in this cloud, when you can practice the feeling at that time, you can come out by yourself when you can not get a piece of cloud. ”

"Then I've been cultivating here, what should I do if I'm starving, old drunkard, do you have to catch birds for me again." There was a hint of a hint of amusement in the drunkard's tone.

"Lao Tzu catches a bird, this cloud has its own qi machine to supplement you, can make you full in half a year, Lao Tzu still has some things to do, took you through the rivers and lakes for so many years, then Zhao Xiaozi also embarked on his own way, the eagle always has to learn to fly by himself, you will go down the mountain by yourself when the time comes, if you want to come to me, under the Ximo Heavenly Palace, there is a town, go to that place to have its own time to meet. ”

After that, the old drunkard raised his legs and wanted to leave, but the little drunkard changed his face to a pitiful look: "Then what if I can't practice within half a year?

Hearing this, the old drunkard almost fell, and said angrily: "If you don't practice well for half a year, this cloud will disperse by itself, but if you are so talented that you are like this bird, it is better to jump off this cliff by yourself and practice a fart martial arts." ”

As if he was afraid that the little drunkard would speak amazingly, the old drunkard walked away from the clouds quickly, and there was only a white expanse around the little drunkard.

The little drunkard smiled bitterly, and began to move his hands wildly, at first in a swimming motion, and like a fly, and felt useless, but he sat on the ground and thought that it would be more comfortable, but he was still overwhelmed by the clouds like a swamp.

Outside the clouds, the old drunkard saw the little drunkard inside, his beard was about to be blown to the top of his head, turned away, and muttered to himself: "Damn, if you look at it again, Lao Tzu is going to be angry to death, Tianxian Qi refining body refining qi, how many people can't ask for a great opportunity, this kid ......"

On the top of the mountain, only the little drunkard was left, constantly looking for a way to break the formation, and the figure that stood up again, although thin, was resolute.

......

Yangzhou, in Gongsun Mansion, Zhao Chunqiu sat upright, opposite Gongsun Qi sat opposite, and on the table was the freshly cooked residual flower wine, and the two of them sat upright, just like Li Gongyi and Gongsun Qi a few days ago.

Now Gongsun Qi has become the prime minister of the Southern Tang Dynasty, looking at Zhao Chunqiu in front of him, he can't help but sigh secretly, what a talented hero, if the ram is still ......

Zhao Chunqiu's eyebrows are like swords, his eyes are burning like the rising sun, he is dressed in a yellow cedar, with a crown on his head, impartial, with a resolute face and a smile at the corner of his mouth, his posture is very majestic but not losing his approachable appearance.

"Your Majesty is here today, I don't know what instructions you have?" Gongsun Qi asked while pouring wine, his face was indifferent but it was difficult to hide a trace of joy in it, such joy, there should be a sense of relief in it, once a young man, has become today's male master.

"Uncle Gongsun, don't forget that you and the teacher once hugged me, don't be so restrained, today you and I, just chat. Zhao Chunqiu said.

"As a minister, you must not know the ...... of humility"

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Chunqiu continued: "For the young, you must know the seniority, now under the court, I don't wear any dragon robes, so when I come to pay tribute to you." ”

"Well, Spring and Autumn are here, what is the matter?" Gongsun Qi's eyes were deep, and he had already collected all his emotions, just like an old man with no waves in the ancient well, his central thoughts were difficult to know.

"Back then, my father killed and the world was in turmoil, but in the end, it ended hastily, but I remember that he once told me that the teacher had fallen seven sons in the Spring and Autumn Period, which was enough to level the world, I don't know which seven sons? ”

"Ahem, the seventh son of the Spring and Autumn Period, if you don't kill it all the time, it's just an abandoned son of the Spring and Autumn Period. Gongsun Qi coughed twice and took a sip of turbid wine.

"Wait a few years, and then naturally start killing. Zhao Chunqiu's eyes were sharp, and in his narrowed eyes, he seemed to see the whole world.

"The Seven Sons of the Spring and Autumn Period, some of the chess pieces still exist, and some of them may have become waste chess, when Li Gongyang thought about defeat before he thought about winning, so he hastily dropped seven sons, and you are one of the sons, the rest, I said I don't know, do you believe it?" Gongsun Qi looked at Zhao Chunqiu, his eyes seemed to have passed through time and space, and the person in front of him had become Zhao Yi, who was ambitious back then.

Zhao Chunqiu nodded, got up, and said solemnly: "Uncle Xie Gongsun solves his doubts." After turning around and leaving, he didn't want to ask in detail, but he couldn't ask again, obviously Gongsun Qi either didn't want to say, or he really didn't know, Li Gongyang and his people, if she really left a good son who broke the game, if she didn't want to say it, then no one in the world would know.

As for Li Gongyi's departure from the Tang Dynasty, he probably knew that he was in the Heavenly Palace, but the Zhao family owed the Li family many debts that could not be paid off, so it was better to let him go, the first force of the Southern Tang Dynasty has never been someone, but the iron horse of the Tang Dynasty, Zhao Chunqiu strode away, and there were thousands of ambitions in his heart to know with people, and he pressed into his heart.

Even I can become a chess piece in the teacher's hands, so what can I not trust the other six sons left by the teacher?

......

At the end of the Spring and Autumn War, the world was full of wars, and the six countries were all desperately resisting.

"Ram, do you think the world can be decided in one fell swoop?" The man's eyebrows were slender, his eyes were bright, and he was holding a pot of wine in his hand.

"My lord, I'm afraid this world won't be settled in a short time. Li Gongyang took the wine jug from the man's hand and drank it all, and his trembling body gradually warmed up.

The man's surname is Zhao Mingyi, the first emperor of the Spring and Autumn Period and the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Hearing this, the man just frowned, while Gongsun Qi on the side looked at him angrily: "Can't settle down in a short time?" Li Gongyang, do you know that there are already public grievances in Datang, and floods have arisen one after another, and instead of thinking about how to stabilize the country and the people, but thinking about how to dominate the world? I want to ask you, if the six countries are pacified, how can I deal with myself in Nantang under the dissatisfaction of the people? What you said is easy, short time, hmph, how short is a short time?"

Li Gongyang heard the angry rebuke of his old friend, shook his head with a wry smile, and said hoarsely: "Nantang has frequent floods everywhere, don't you think it's strange? Why do so many things happen suddenly at this time, and I won't explain this to you first." In terms of national strength, who do you think in the other six countries can stand alone against our Southern Tang Dynasty? I can even tell you that if you are desperate and continue to stalemate like this, at most ten years, the world will definitely do it!" Li Gongyang breathed faster and faster the more he spoke, and he couldn't help but cough twice.

Zhao Yi hurriedly smoothed the back of the ram Li, glanced at Gongsun Qi with a reproachful face, and said loudly: "Ram, you have to take care of your body, this thing in the world can be done overnight, but you are the strongest pillar of my Datang after all, if you collapse, half of Datang will collapse." ”

In his eyes, the light of confidence was revealed, and Li Ram chuckled: "My lord, rest assured, good people don't live long, and the scourge will last for thousands of years, and my Li Ram should be regarded as a great scourge in the world, and if I survive for decades, there should be no big problem." ”

Not long after Li Gongyang said this, the sky was covered with thunderclouds, and the thunder rang out in the silent night sky from time to time, and the electricity was like a swimming snake, flying in the air. Li Gongyang raised his head, there was a faint layer of mist in the Star Viewing Pavilion that covered several of the stars, his eyes were gloomy for a moment, and he said: "Lord, you go to Brother Gongsun to go back and rest, within three days, the minister must give the lord an explanation." ”

A few days later, Li Gongyang's body gradually improved under the warming weather, and he came to the palace alone, asking to see Zhao Yi.

In that meeting, Li Gongyang revealed his fallen Spring and Autumn Seven Sons and Plates, and then Zhao Yi issued an order, the Six Route Army returned to the Southern Tang Dynasty, opened a warehouse to help the people, as for the cities that were laid, they were returned to the remaining six countries, but Gongsun Qi, who was Zhao Yi's other right-hand man, really didn't know much about the Spring and Autumn Seven Sons under Li Gongyang.

Thinking of those past events, the old man couldn't help himself, and took another sip of the broken flower wine in his hands.

It is a pity that there are no one in the world for the drinker, and there is so little in the world!

......

Xi Mo, the old drunkard who had earned a full gourd of wine by telling stories was complacent and drinking against a maple tree, and when he was smiling, he looked up at the sky, he smashed his mouth twice, and then hung the gourd on his waist, swaying in the wind with his sheathed broken wood knife.

"Where did this Heaven Realm master come from, it's kind of interesting. At the end of his gaze, there was a person who rose up from the rainbow, half of the man's red robe, his clothes were blown by the wind, and his eyes were indifferent, as if he was looking at the old drunkard thousands of miles away, and glanced at him.

The clouds are flying backwards in the two sections of Changhong, the red-robed man is thousands of miles away, and the royal Changhong is in front of the old drunkard, and the maple leaves fall and fall on the shoulders of the red-robed man.

"The Li family has one less literary talent, but one more martial saint, which is worthy of being the most romantic in the Southern Tang Dynasty. The old drunkard gave a thumbs up and looked at Li Gongyi in front of him with a smile.

"False praise. Li Gongyi's voice was flat, but there was a flash of light in his eyes, "There are some things, I'm ready to go to the Heavenly Palace." ”

The old drunkard frowned, picked his hair, and refused: "You're gone, I haven't yet, I'm afraid you are not that person's opponent when you go to the Heavenly Palace alone, not to mention anything else, can you break the machine array that day?"

"I can't break it, but I want to try, you keep prevaricating like this, how long will I wait for you to go up the mountain?"

"Hey, you can't hold your breath so much, then you can go up the mountain by yourself and try it? Don't blame Lao Tzu for not reminding you, after the Tianji Array, there is still a Heavenly Gate before the Heavenly Palace, and the gatekeeper before the Heavenly Gate is not something you can deal with alone. The old drunkard looked at the somewhat impatient Li Gongyi with a sarcastic look on his face.

"So how long do you think it will take to get up the mountain?"

"Half a year later, the Demon Sect is going to establish a sect, Murong Feng will invite a lot of people, and there will be a lot of people in secret, I will discuss with them, ask them to go to the Heavenly Palace with us, and besides, I heard that your brother had a guest in the Stargazing Pavilion back then, and the guest hasn't come yet, what are you anxious about?"

"They have the right time and place, we only have people, so there is only one chance, you only enter the sainthood as a heavenly immortal, and the realm is not yet stable, so you want to do it, even if you go up, what if you go up? You are like a grasshopper under the heavenly way, and the grasshopper shakes the tree, which is ridiculous!"

The old drunkard just waved his hand casually: "What do you like to do, there are still some places in this world where you still have time to enjoy it at the end, and when the time comes, you will naturally go up the mountain." ”

"You have become a saint?" Li Gongyi patiently listened to the old drunkard's words, and finally a trace of war intent appeared in his eyes, the last time he shot, the old drunkard said that he would not raise a knife without a knife, but if he had already entered the saint, then he did not need to use a knife, and he had become a martial saint at the beginning, Li Gongyi had a mighty battle intent in his chest, and he wanted to gush out.

"If Lao Tzu had become a sage, I would have found out all those old guys, why wait for the Demon Sect to be re-established?" the old drunkard said with a dry mouth, so he was about to shut up, he took the gourd from his waist and took a big sip, and left silently.

"Fighting with the sky is endlessly fun. ”

Hearing the last words of the old drunkard, the battle intent in Li Gongyi's eyes finally sank, he decided to stabilize the realm first, so he wanted to kill, kill the person who should be killed, he came to see the old drunkard today and got the answer he wanted, the old drunkard is not unable to enter the sainthood, but has not yet grasped the strongest state to enter the sainthood, he can only wait now, it is better to leave the last remnant in the world.

In the West Desert, there is a long rainbow rising, running like in the rivers and lakes, some people in the rivers and lakes are domineering, some people are unreasonable, some people are evil, some people are afraid of the soft, so there are immortals who are angry and clean the dirt in the world.

......
