[February 22, 71st year of the Great Qiankang Yuan, Shen Shi, Wei Wangfu Study]

After Li Yi and Xu Ke left one after another, Qiu Ming Liwu sighed to himself:

"Unexpectedly, the emperor has just demoted him to a commoner, and the old white pavilion master has taken a fancy to him!"

Li Zhen also sighed with emotion: "Mr. Qiu, I heard that the Lord of the White Old Pavilion has rarely accepted apprentices in the past three hundred years, and although there is a prince in each generation of my great cadre who has entered the Divine King Pavilion, he is only serving as the deputy pavilion master. I never thought that in this generation, in addition to my third brother, the White Old Pavilion Master would accept another disciple!"

Qiu Mingli said: "The white old pavilion master Shenlong saw the head but did not see the tail, it is said that he accepted apprentices, one look at the bloodline, two understanding, three by chance. His Royal Highness King Zhao is not only the blood of the royal family, but also has a high level of understanding, and is already the deputy pavilion master of the God King Pavilion, so he is favored by the old pavilion master and accepted as a beginner disciple. But he didn't have a disease...... Coming from Jiangnan, he was originally a commoner, although he had some martial arts, but he was not outstanding, I really don't know why the old pavilion master fell in love with him?"

Li Zhen muttered to himself: "Isn't there no disease...... But if it weren't for that, how could the old pavilion master accept him?" He said casually:

"Perhaps, what the Lord of the White Old Pavilion values is the opportunity to be disease-free and different, right?"

"Well, this chance, it seems to be a simple word, but in fact, it is the most unclear, he can enter the Divine King Pavilion without illness, and it is also his creation, and the old man is really happy for him!" Qiu Ming said.

Li Jin thought for a while, and then smiled with Qiu Mingli: "Mr. Qiu, do you know, is there any mystery in the God King Pavilion?"

Qiu Mingli replied: "Don't hide it from Your Highness, the court has always been rumored, saying that the Divine King Pavilion is mysterious and mysterious, but where the mystery is, the old man doesn't know anything. ”

Li Zhen smiled: "Mr. hasn't gone in again, of course I don't know what's inside." I remember that the third brother once told me about the wonders of the Divine King Pavilion. The first thing that is interesting is that there is no sun and moon in the pavilion, and the hour seems to have stopped there. Even if you stay in it for ten or eight years, and walk out of the attic, it's still today!"

Qiu Ming Liqi said: "There is such a thing! According to His Royal Highness, he entered the cabinet today without illness, and after only a while, he left the cabinet?"

Li Zhen nodded and smiled: "Exactly! I remember that the third brother had just entered the Divine King Pavilion that day, and in a moment, he had already walked out of the pavilion door. At that time, I also asked him if he had been kicked out by the old pavilion master? Who expected him to say that he had been studying with the old pavilion master for more than a year!"

Qiu Mingli couldn't help but sigh: "The world is so big, there is no surprise! Thinking of my generation, I probably won't have the opportunity to see such a wonderful place in this life!" The implication is that he is also extremely envious of Xu Ke's situation.

Li Zhen looked outside the study, at this time the rain has gradually stopped, turned into a drizzle, after this heavy rain, the vegetable and fruit farmers in the suburbs of Chang'an also have to be busy, taking advantage of the rain to moisten, just loosen the soil and fertilize, spring plowing and sowing, this year must have a good harvest.

As soon as Li Jin's words changed, he talked about the situation in the capital in front of him. He said:

"Mr. Qiu, they are busy with their business, and we still have to worry about our mortal affairs. Now that my eldest brother has been deposed and imprisoned, and several of his subordinates are still locked up in the Tsing Yi Guard, I want to talk to my father about the case of King Chu, it is better to close the case as soon as possible, there are too many people involved, and everyone in the court will inevitably be in danger......"

Qiu Mingli thought for a while, and then said: "That's fine, but it's ...... Your Royal Highness, what the old man is worried about is that now that the party of the King of Chu has been uprooted by the emperor, don't say that in the locality, there are a large number of Beijing officials. In the past few days, I have heard that the kings of Han, Jin, Song, Yue, and Yan are all handing over excerpts to the emperor to recommend people! Even the two county kings have not been idle. Your Highness, is there no one to recommend?"

Li Zhen said disapprenousively: "Mr. Qiu, a thousand troops are easy to obtain, but it is difficult to find a general! What this king wants is a talent like Mr. Qiu." For those who tend to be inflammatory, even if this king has more entrapments, what good will it be! My younger brothers, they like to fight so much, let them fight for enough!"

Qiu Mingli said without worry: "Your Highness, having said that, there are too many vacant official positions now, not to mention anything else, the military department alone has an empty Shangshu and a squire, the Ministry of Officials has an empty Shangshu, and the Criminal Department has an empty squire, these positions, how many people are red-eyed and hot-eared! Your Highness has to arrange one or two, right?"

Li Zhen looked sideways and said, "Does Mr. Qiu have a suitable candidate?"

Qiu Mingli said: "Your Highness, according to the old man's humble opinion, other ministries are forgotten, this ministry is especially important, His Royal Highness is ordered to be in charge of the ministry, there must be a handy person there to do things." The old man wants to recommend that Suzhou prefect Li Chengfeng. ”

Li Zhen said: "This person still has some talents, and he is also safe. But isn't it faster to suddenly promote him to the position of a fifth-grade official to the third-grade position?"

Qiu Mingli said: "If Your Highness is not at ease, you can first promote him to the position of the outsider for some training." ”

Li Zhen said: "Hmm...... That's fine!, however, did Mr. Cho ever think that there is another person available?"

Qiu Mingli asked, "Does Your Highness also have a candidate?"

Li Zhen smiled and said: "This person, not only do I have to recommend it to my father, but my father will definitely give him an official position above the fourth grade!"

Qiu Mingli was puzzled at first, but after thinking for a while, he couldn't help but suddenly realize: "What His Highness said is that there is no disease!"

According to what my third brother said, as long as we were talking for a while, maybe we would have come out of the Divine King Pavilion without illness. ”

Qiu Mingli said: "According to my big cadre official system, from the Shenwang Pavilion to learn out of the pavilion, mortal font door, awarded the official six grades, the earth character door, the official five grades, the heavenly character gate, the official four grades or more." However, in the past three hundred years, there has been only King Zhao who has been able to get out of the Tianzi Gate. If he is not sick and goes out of the cabinet, he should be promoted, I don't know what kind of official the emperor is going to give him?"

Li Zhen smiled: "I didn't expect him to be at this age, and he would be a fourth-grade official when he came out." This is unique in my work, perhaps in 300 years!"

Qiu Mingli said again: "Your Royal Highness, the emperor has just deposed Wu Sick, you are going to recommend it, is it ......?"

Li Zhen waved his hand and said, "It's okay! The Divine King Pavilion was created by the Lord of the White Old Pavilion in accordance with the agreement with the Great Grandfather to defend my great country. Historically, the people who came out of the Divine King Pavilion should be reused by the imperial court

This is the rule set by our ancestors. Moreover, his father has always attached great importance to the absence of disease, and this time he was deposed, in fact, it was also meant to polish his mind. If my father knew that the Lord of the White Old Pavilion was in love, he might be even happier than we were!"

Qiu Mingli said: "Then it is better for His Highness to recommend that he go to the Criminal Department without illness, and let him learn the way of officialdom and the method of judging cases from Master Cheng." ”

Li Zhen thought for a while, shook his head and said, "No, these two people have a stinky temper, and if they make trouble separately, it will be difficult to clean up." Let's let him go to the ministry......"

Qiu Mingli said: "It is good for the officials to be good, but the selection of officials and the promotion and deposition of officials are extremely cumbersome things, and they may not be able to do it without illness." ”

At this moment, Xu Ke had just entered the Divine King Pavilion, and he didn't know how many tests he had to go through inside, and he didn't know if he could get out of the pavilion smoothly, but the two of them were already "hotly discussing" about Xu Ke's future.

......

At the same time, in the Hazelnut Residence of Xufu, Hu Yiyi and Yao Zibei were still cleaning up, but Shu Haotian next to him looked impatient, and chuckled: "I said old sister, don't be busy, the disease-free brother hasn't come back yet, I think, we can't go!"

Hu Yiyi hurriedly asked, "What's the matter? Is it Mr. Qiu who won't let him go?"

Shu Haotian shook his head and said: "Our disease-free brother, Lao Qiu can't stop him, the one who can stop him is in the Tianbao Pavilion!"

Hu Yiyi lowered her head suddenly, she was still excited and excited just now, but gradually turned into a depressed and unhappy state, she murmured softly: "Yes, Xiao Wuxian is just a whim, how can he be willing to leave Miss Murong?"

Yao Zibei asked, "Miss Murong, is this young lady that my sister said is Brother Xu's favorite?"

Hu Yiyi had to nod, she didn't know how to explain, so she had to divert the topic and said: "Regardless of him, let's clean up and talk about it! He said that he was going to leave, but he was not sick! When the time came, he said to go, we will go, if he says not to go, he has to go with us!"

Shu hattian didn't think so, he was about to make a rebuttal, but suddenly heard a woman's delicate voice behind him:

"Hello, big sister, why are you going to leave as soon as I come......"

Everyone hurriedly looked behind them, and saw a bewitching woman walking towards Nana. She looks twenty years old, with slender eyebrows, a moist nose, red lips and white teeth, a white face that is translucent and red, and her appearance is also good, but this bewitching state is extremely charming, frivolous and abnormal, even the top brands in those brothels in the green building are expected to be nothing more than that.

"Ninth sister, why are you here!" Hu Yiyi couldn't help but ask in surprise after seeing who was coming.

"Whoa, big sister...... The ninth sister is not far away, and she came to see you, how are you ...... You'......re not welcome! The twelve brothers are also there!" The bewitching woman who was called the "ninth sister" exclaimed coquettishly, and her voice was also soft and long, and charming.

"You are not allowed to bully Xiao Shu!" Seeing that the ninth sister's eyes were fixed on Shu Hatian at the moment, Hu Yiyi hurriedly dragged Shu Hatian behind him and said.

The ninth sister glanced at Shu Haotian again, a blood-red tongue in her mouth suddenly stretched out, licked her chin, as if she had swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then smiled: "Eldest sister, look at what you said, they are all my own sisters and brothers, how can I bully him?" right...... Twelfth brother?"

Shu Haotian hid behind Hu Yiyi, still trembling slightly, as if he was extremely afraid of the ninth sister in front of him, he shouted in a dumb voice: "Mao Jiaojiao, you don't stay in Xiao Guo, what do you want to do in this Chang'an City?"

Mao Jiaojiao raised her hands lightly, her slender waist swayed slightly, and she sighed and said: "Hey, naturally, I came with the second brother!" The second brother was ordered by the lord of Xiao Guo to say that several princes of Qianguo were vying for the throne, and the capital was already in chaos...... Ahem! These men are fighting back and forth, and they are really boring and tight, how can we women do things interestingly!

Hu Yiyi couldn't help frowning slightly: "The second brother is also here? Isn't he sitting comfortably enough in his position as the national teacher of Xiao Guo?

Mao Jiaojiao also said: "Yes, my second brother and I didn't want to come, but the second brother heard that there is a place in the capital of this Qianguo called something...... What is the location of the God King Pavilion, it's very interesting!Second brother is here......"

"God King Pavilion!" Hu Yiyi and Shu Hatian replied in unison.

"The Divine King Pavilion is one of the three pavilions in the world, the pavilion master Bai Wuming is a divine dragon alive, what is the second brother going to the Divine King Pavilion to do?" asked Hu Yiyi.

"Who knows! I can't care about what the second brother does! The little sister came to Chang'an this time, first, to see the eldest sister, and second, I heard that there are many handsome men and beautiful women in the capital of this Qianguo! If she were an ordinary man, I am afraid that she would have already become a minister under her skirt.

"Fortunately, the disease-free brother is not here!" Shu Hatian couldn't help but sigh secretly and said happily.

"If you are entangled by your 'Hehe Great Immortal', the second half of your disease-free brother's life will not be able to live!"

......

At this time, Xu Ke had just fallen into the God King Pavilion, and he was being entangled by a black tiger spirit and was exhausted. No, in the end, that giant beast turned into Li Junxian's appearance. He was surprised and puzzled in his heart, and couldn't help but stretch out his right hand and scratch his forehead.

"Little brother, it's not okay for you to use your sword like this!" As soon as Li Junxian saw Xu Ke, he pointed at his sword and beckoned.

"Brother Junxian, my sword move was taught by a senior that day, that old man was in a hurry, and he only passed on my swordsmanship in the past, but after the younger brother finished it, there was no move to make, so he could only repeat the move...... Xu Ke replied calmly. He has always been very concerned about Brother Junxian who traveled thousands of miles south in his heart, and at this time, he saw that Li Junxian was in front of him, and whether it was true or not, he should be true first. However, the young man is arrogant after all, and he always has to find something to defend himself.

"Haha! Little brother, don't underestimate this swordsmanship, although there is only one move, it contains the essence of the five elements, if you understand the trick, this swordsmanship is also infinitely powerful!" Li Junxian smiled.

"The Five Elements are wonderful? What is the explanation?" Xu Ke read less ancient books and knew

Heaven and earth are divided into five elements: yin and yang. The five elements, wood, fire, earth, gold and water, wood are the main life, fire is extinguished, the earth is the main melt, the gold is the main gathering, and the water is the main run. However, what is the connection between the way of the five elements and the principle of sword moves, Xu Ke has never thought about it.

Li Junxian patiently explained to Xu Ke:

"Heaven and earth are divided into yin and yang, and all things have five elements. The five elements have the way of mutual reciprocity and mutual restraint, water is gold, wood is water, fire is wood, earth is fire, gold is earth, gold can overcome wood, wood can overcome earth, earth can overcome water, water can overcome fire, fire can overcome gold. Little brother, after you make the 'breaking gold potential', you should continue it with the 'water breaking potential', and then 'open the wood potential', 'swing the fire potential' and 'tear the earth potential'...... Such a cycle is the meaning of the five elements, and the sword moves will give birth to a natural and endless artistic conception, you can give it a try!"

Xu Ke according to his words, the true luck of the true qi, the tip of the sword forward, stirring up gusts of wind, the sword qi is vigorous, and the "breaking gold potential" will come out, and then, the sword body is horizontal, and it is "breaking the water potential", the tip of the sword is waved obliquely, and the "open wood potential", "swinging fire potential" and "ripping earth potential" are continuously used. When the "ripping potential" has not yet made old, the heart moves at will, and the consciousness is angry, which is another move to "break the gold potential"......

At this time, Xu Ke suddenly felt a shock in his heart, only to feel that after the true qi traveled through the sword body, he actually returned to the dantian qi sea. According to the order of gold, water, wood, fire, and earth, after running the One Qi Mixed Yuan Sword again, the strength in his body did not grow back. Only this time when he took out the sword, he felt a steady stream of true qi in his body, bubbling out. His luck poured into the sword body, the long sword flew like a spiritual snake, and the five potential sword moves stabbed out for the second and third time...... Later, the true qi became more and more vigorous, and the sword momentum became more and more urgent, and in just an instant, he had already stabbed seven moves.

These five potential sword moves are based on the order of the five elements, which will lead the true qi to return and continue. Xu Ke practiced well, and the more he came later, the more he felt that the true qi in his body was inexhaustible. He couldn't help but let out a long whistle, the whistling sound resounded through the valley, and Xu Ke intuitively felt that his heart was inexplicably hearty, like drinking fine wine and sipping fine wine.

After a long roar, Xu Ke returned his sword to the sheath, and a majestic true qi in his body slowly returned to the sea of qi. Previously, he had almost lost his strength in the battle against the Black Tiger Spirit, and the state of decadence and exhaustion at that time had been swept away at this time.

In the past, Yulu Weng hurriedly taught him this sword move and then left Yushan, never explaining it to him. He had only said that the sword was divided into five potentials, and every time he was in battle, he would have his own potential, and he never thought that since it was just a sword move, the five potentials would be used as a chain. Today, after listening to Li Junxian's order, he slowly understood the true use of this sword move.

"Little brother, do you feel it? You only need to follow the way of the five elements to live together, and the internal force can run endlessly, endlessly, so that no matter how the opponent fights with you, your strength will never be exhausted, and you will always be invincible!" Li Junxian said with a smile.

"I've written it down without illness! Thank you Brother Junxian for your advice! I was not sick and dull before, but I didn't realize that this sword move is not only a swordsmanship, but also an internal skill! When the sword is moved, the true qi is born, and the back and forth are endless, and the later it is, the more abundant the true yuan is, which seems to be similar to the 'Taiyi Kunlun Duel' I practiced!" Xu Ke hurriedly saluted Li Junxian with his fists.

"The five elements have the way of mutual rebirth, and they also have the power of mutual restraint! Little brother, after you 'break the gold potential', then make the 'open wood potential', and then 'crack the earth potential', 'cut off the water potential', and 'swing the fire potential', and make it in turn, try it!" Li Junxian said again.

"Okay!" Xu Ke drew his sword in his hand, shouted, and the wind gusted, and a move to "break the gold potential" has been vigorous, followed by the "opening wood potential", "cracking the soil potential", "breaking the water potential" and "swinging the fire". The first time he made a move, he still felt that his true qi was slightly stagnant, and by the second and third times, his breath had gradually smoothed out. Later, he only felt that the long sword in his hand could no longer control himself, the sword momentum became more and more urgent, and the sword qi became more and more powerful......

Xu Ke stabbed up, and couldn't help but let out another long howl. With the sound of a long roar, wherever his sword qi went, it was really the earth and rocks that collapsed, the grass and trees became rain, and the blockers were invincible!

After the long roar, the true qi was swallowed in Xu Ke's chest, and it was already turbulent. Xu Ke began to slowly accept the recruitment, and he was calm down. He saw that the flowers and trees in front of him had been flattened, and a few rocks had also been cut into pieces. He really didn't expect that this sword move would have such a drastic change.

"Hahaha! Little brother, although your Qi Mixed Yuan Sword is just a sword move, it is really a wind and thunder momentum, and it is unstoppable! Between heaven and earth, things and things are restrained, and it is really endless! However, if you follow the order of the five elements, although the sword qi can be extremely powerful, but the consumption of true qi is very dramatic, once the sea of qi is exhausted, there will be a danger of life immediately, remember, remember!" Li Junxian reminded again.

"That is to say, if the true yuan is not prosperous, the order of the five elements should be cautious? Otherwise, it is very easy to eat oneself?" Xu Ke thought for a while, and then asked again.

God has the virtue of a good life, and everything should be thought of being born and growing from each other, and not punishing each other. Whether it's sword moves or internal strength, everything in the world is the same. Li Junxian replied.

"Little brother remembers! Today, thank you for this brother!" Xu Ke bowed to "Li Junxian" and smiled.

"Huh, are you seeing?" "Li Junxian" said curiously.

"This benevolent brother, although you and my eldest brother Junxian have exactly the same voice and appearance, there are still many differences in demeanor and demeanor, and you can naturally see the clues after a long time, not to mention, isn't this the Divine King Pavilion? Where did it come from?" Xu Ke said with a smile.

As soon as Xu Ke's words fell, the scenery around him suddenly dispersed one by one, and the place he was in became a hard and flat ground, paved with green bricks under his feet, and there were no walls or tiles around him......

"I am the 'Water Moon Old Man'......" "Li Junxian" turned into an old man with crane hair and a childish face and fluttering clothes, and smiled slightly at Xu Ke.

"Where is this?" asked Xu Ke.

"This is the first floor of the Divine King Pavilion," the old man Shuiyue replied, but the person had already drifted away......

"Hey...... Don't you go, how many floors are there here?, how can I get out?" Xu Ke hurriedly ran over and asked.

"There are a total of thirteen floors in the Divine King Pavilion, how to get out, figure out how to ...... by yourself" No matter how hard Xu Ke chased after him, the old man of Shuiyue still fled, leaving only this one sentence, which slowly floated with the wind.

......
