Text: Chapter 1 Shuxuan Pavilion
In the forty-eighth year of Qiyuan, the spring thunder was faint.
One night of spring rain took away the chill of the harsh winter and refreshed the entire Daning Empire.
At the beginning of the day, the people of Los Angeles were still asleep, but the Shuxuan Pavilion in the South Garden of the Imperial City had already heard a childish voice.
“...... When the sergeant heard the word, he acted diligently; When the sergeant heard this, if he survived, he died; When the corporal heard this, he laughed. Laughter is not enough for the Tao. It is based on suggestions, saying: If the road is clear, if the road is retreated, if the road is clear, if the road is empty; If the valley is deserved, if the virtue is insufficient, if the virtue is stolen, the quality is true; If the big white is humiliated, generous, the big bloomer is late, the big voice is loud, and the elephant is invisible. The road is nameless. The husband is only the way, good at lending and good at success. Post-Sage Cloud: Great courage is cowardly, great wisdom is like foolishness, great uprightness is like bending, great love is silent......"
Looking about eight or nine years old, the handsome young man wearing a water-blue brocade dragon robe, pulled out a book from a pile of old scrolls, read it carefully, and suddenly stopped.
"Master Han, this "Sage Classic" Luo Er often reads, there is a self-evident feeling, and I hope that Master Gong will interpret its meaning for Luo Er. ”
As he spoke, Ning Luo put down the books in his hand, clenched his fists with both hands, and made a deep gesture, and looked at the old man lying on the soft couch expectantly with a pair of black eyes.
"Oh, the third prince has secretly run to the old man again, quick, come and sit, it's warmer here. ”
Han Xilin gathered the charcoal fire of the stove, looked at Ning Luo not far away lovingly, beckoned, and motioned for Ning Luo to sit beside him.
"Didn't you go to the Holy Martial Hall today? Be careful that your father is going to reprimand you again if he finds out!"
Ning Luo laughed and giggled and jumped onto the soft collapse.
"Master, I'm not a big brother, and you don't know that Luo'er doesn't like to dance with knives and guns. ”
"Besides, you are the emperor's teacher, the teacher, and the guest elder of Haoran Academy, I am here, my father should not reprimand, and besides, I haven't seen my father for a long time. ”
"Since the eldest brother was accepted as a disciple of the outer chamber by Tianyimen, in addition to worshiping the heavens and ancestors, the birthday of the father and the emperor is more lively, and no one goes to my Jingting Palace, but this book can pass some boring time, and it also makes Luo'er gain some knowledge. ”
Han Xilin looked at Ning Luo's gradually lonely expression, and his eyes couldn't help but look at the foggy drizzle outside the window.
"Outer Room Disciple...... Hey!"
Han Xilin's eyes gradually blurred, and he sighed deeply.
"The old man is a down-and-out scholar, thanks to Emperor Ning's wrong love, he respects me as a teacher, and he has to help Emperor Ning to become a guest in this outer court, and the three princes praise it. ”
"But over the years, the old man has become more and more unable to see through Emperor Ning, I know that Ning Guo has been swaying in the past few years, and he also has his own last resort. ”
"It's okay, the old man hasn't been out of this Shuxuan Pavilion for a long time, and after the early dynasty, the old man went to see Emperor Ning. ”
Han Xilin turned his eyes back and looked at the "Sage Classic" in Ning Luo's hand, and his face returned to kindness.
"Let the old man see what the third prince has been reading recently, I'm afraid that Shuxuan Pavilion will be seen by you!"
"Shigong has a good reputation. Ning Luoqian blushed and handed over the book in his hand.
Literate and read at the age of three, Ning Luo has been in this Shuxuan Pavilion almost every day in the past five years, except for the monthly visit of Emperor Ning to the Holy Martial Palace.
Since his eldest brother left Los Angeles, Shuxuan Pavilion is the most comfortable place for himself, sages and sages, literary songs, ancient ambitions, and desolate floods, which have opened Ning Luo's eyes, in the world of the book, mortal emperors and sages can be gods and demons, which is something that people in the Lanchuan Continent dare not think of.
That is, in Ningguo, that is, in Shuxuan Pavilion, that is, the great Confucian Han Xilin Bo ancient and modern, loves to collect all kinds of classics, so that these forbidden books are preserved.
This passage of the saints says that the wise and diligent man listened to the sermon and practiced it diligently; When ordinary people hear the sermon, they will doubt and believe; When the lazy and foolish heard the word, they ridiculed it...... The whitest is like dirt, the most square is without edges and corners, the greatest instrument is finished last, the greatest music has no sound, and the greatest elephant has no image. The avenue is hidden and has no name, but it can make all things start and end well. ”
"The sages of later generations felt that they should not believe what they see with their eyes in everything, but look with their hearts, and some people who retreat for small things may have the courage to collapse Mount Tai without changing their colors, and some people who seem stupid may have ......"
Ning Luo seemed to understand and listened, and suddenly his voice stopped, he raised his head, looked at Master Han caressing his gray beard, and looked at himself with a smile.
"The emperor is the respect of the ninety-five, wearing nine five-clawed golden dragon auspicious cloud patterns, the princes are noble, according to the ancient system, they should wear five Jiaolong cloud embroidered robes, why do the three princes only show off four Jiao reckless, the girls of the Internal Affairs Office should be disciplined, and the old man will mention this matter when he sees His Majesty. ”
"Ah, Master, don't!"
Ning Luo knew that there were strict requirements for the things used by the emperor's family, and the patterns on the brocade robe and the cloud embroidery all had ancient standards.
"I asked Sister Chenxiang to show one less show!"
"Luo'er can't bear to see the royal brothers in the book, in the same room, cannibalism happening to us, the eldest brother and I are brothers of the same mother, and I have no intention of coveting the throne, just to have a stable life. ”
"One less show will also make the days when the eldest brother is not there, make your life easier, the best of both worlds, why not. ”
"You kid, the second prince is also a smart person, he knows the ancient method, and the third prince thinks too much. It seems that the old decay was tricked just now, and you little guy is more transparent than the decay. ”
Han Xilin put down the classics, flicked the dust on his body, put on his court clothes, and turned back to Ning Luo and said.
"The old man went to see Emperor Ning, the third prince's Shuxuan Pavilion will be handed over to you, this little guy, by the way, tell the third prince a good news, listen to the rumors in the palace, the eldest prince will come back after the spring. ”
"Really, great, big brother is coming back!"
Ning Luo jumped up happily, it's been four years, the eldest brother has been gone for four years, every year when he worships his mother, he will pour incense for his mother for the eldest brother, hoping that his mother's spirit in the sky can bless the eldest brother to be safe, how can he not be happy when he hears that the eldest brother will be back soon.
"Don't be happy too early, don't forget, how did you guarantee when the eldest prince left. ”
Han Xilin's words were like a scoop of cold water poured on Ning Luo's head.
When Tianyi took away the eldest prince Ning Che, Ning Luo looked at the back of the eldest brother who was about to disappear, and shouted, "Big brother, I must practice hard in the Holy Martial Palace, and I will definitely not let the eldest brother down if I reach the Blood Consideration Realm as soon as possible."
Ning Luo clearly remembered that after he finished speaking, the eldest brother turned around and smiled at him, laughing very happily.
"As far as I've heard, it seems that the third prince is still only in the early stage of body refining, and he is two big realms away from the blood mirror you promised your eldest brother."
The Lanchuan Continent, the three major empires, the known realm is divided into:
Refining the body, forging bones, considering blood, quenching the soul, and perceiving, each realm is divided into three small realms in the early, middle and late stages.
Body refining is mainly to exercise the physical body through external forces, so as to enhance one's strength, and only by breaking through the late stage of body refining can one learn special exercises and forge bones.
The Daning Empire has its own forging bone duel "Burning Tiger Decision", which is a secret that the royal family does not pass on, "Burning Tiger Decision" can be quenched with tiger blood, and slowly absorb the essence in the tiger blood, so as to cultivate to the realm of blood consideration, which is why Ning Luo dared to promise his eldest brother to cultivate to the blood mirror.
In the same way, only by breaking through the late stage of soul quenching can you really have the right to speak in the continent, the perception mirror, known as the acquired transformation realm, also known as the innate realm, the ultimate realm that martial artists want to achieve in their lives.
A martial artist, once he reaches the realm of perception, he can ascend to the sky in one step, seal the territory and become the king, and live happily in the world. Among the three empires of Tu Ming, Tianling, and Daning, there are only a handful of powerhouses in the perception realm, except for the three emperors, they are the ancestors in the empire who don't know how long they have lived.
It is not for nothing that the perception realm is in the upper realm, and those royal clansmen who have long been reluctant to breathe also want to take that step, but there is no corresponding cultivation method. Those cultivation techniques are all mastered by the Immortal Gate Demon Valley, so that those of them who have enjoyed being served by others all their lives, go to be disciples, serve tea and water to others, how can they endure that kind of suffering.
Ning Luo knew from the ancient books that there was also an emperor who broke through the realm of perception by himself, and now the predecessor of the three major empires of the Lanchuan Continent, the Shengyuan Dynasty, the last emperor, Bowen and wise, and the spiritual heart is proficient, in the later stage of the perception mirror, the enlightenment and expansion of the realm, reached the realm of expanded knowledge, but he did not want to return to the mountains and valleys, and was not tolerated by the two realms of immortals and demons, and joined forces to destroy the Shengyuan Dynasty.
Of course, there are also people who are born to perceive the aura of heaven and earth, the innate body, the darling of heaven and earth, and the dragon among people, but before there is no corresponding exercise and cannot communicate and breathe out the aura of heaven and earth, the innate body is not much different from ordinary people.
It is rumored that in the territory of Tu Ming Kingdom, a small place in a remote corner, there was a teenager who died of violence for no reason, and the local officials were afraid that there were demons to haunt him, and reported to the imperial court, and later was informed by a Ning Dan ancestor of the Flame Demon Sect, and personally checked, and found that this son was the body of innate spiritual fire, and was curious for a while, absorbing a large amount of fire spiritual power in the body, but he didn't know how to spit out the storage, and let the fire spiritual power violent body die.
After this incident, the Xianmen Demon Sect took turns to enter the world every four years, looking for talented people and entering the mountain gate.
When Ning Luo was thinking about how to "deal with" his eldest brother, a thunderous voice sounded, followed by a powerful footstep, like a tiger descending the mountain. A fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy dressed in a sable dragon robe stepped in.
"Hmph, it's not just two big realms missing, I think my third brother is a waste of body refining and hasn't even started!"
Han Xilin saw that it was no one else who came in, it was the second prince Ning Huo, and arched his hand slightly.
"The second prince is fine, it seems that the second prince will enter the soul quenching mirror in a few days, congratulations. ”
"Master Han is also here," Ning Luo's tone also became humble, Han Xilin, Emperor Ning's teacher, seeing that the emperor could not worship, Ning Huo hurriedly returned the salute and explained his intention.
"Master Han is polite, you are healthy, recently for my father to share the worry about the temple repair, just received the will of the father, declare this waste, the third brother went to the imperial study to knock, did not find him in the Holy Martial Palace, I guess, it must be to the Shuxuan Pavilion again. ”
"Second brother, do you know why my father announced me?"
Ning Luo didn't care that this second brother called himself like this, but he was very surprised by his father's call, over the years, his father rarely called himself, if it wasn't for the eldest brother, Ning Luo felt that his father might have forgotten about himself.
"Specifically, I don't know, it may be related to Ling Yuyao, the princess of the Tianling Empire who was assigned to marry your eldest brother, and I heard that she will marry into the Tu Ming Empire the day after tomorrow. ”
