Chapter 25: The Second Level

After Empress Lu Wan retired from the court, she came to see her again. Since Du Qing'er married Huerhe, Lu Wan has been unwilling to see Du Ziping, and Du Ziping is also ashamed and does not dare to see her. She said to Du Ziping: "Your Majesty, Princess Anyang is still in Roulan, if you raise an army, please bring her back first." ”

Du Ziping comforted him with kind words and promised to take Princess Anyang back. Two years later, the Roulan Kingdom was destroyed, and the Jade Dragon Empire dominated the Yunxiao Continent, but Du Qing'er was buried in a foreign land and never returned to his homeland.

After more than ten years, Du Ziping devoted himself to internal affairs, the domestic economy eased, and the Jade Dragon Empire gradually recovered. Du Ziping is getting old, and his health is not as good as before, but his sons are starting to compete for the throne again, but Du Ming is getting less and less favored by him.

Lu Wan also aged very quickly, and her health was extremely poor, and at this time, the oil was dry and the lights went out, and she couldn't survive it anymore. Du Ziping sat beside her, looking at her tenderly, without saying a word.

"Your Majesty, it seems that I will not be able to survive tonight. Du Qing'er didn't help her once until she died, can you help Du Ming once?" Lu Wan looked at her, her eyes showing pleading.

Du Ziping's heart softened, and secretly thought: She has been with me for so many years, doing her best, and Qing'er's matter is also a pain in her heart. He sighed and said, "Don't worry, no one can sit in this seat except him." ”

"No, I won't let him sit in this seat," Lu Wan said suddenly and loudly. "When I married you, you didn't like it. I can see that in order to secure the throne, you agreed, and every day, except for dealing with state affairs, you accompany me. Later, you governed the country thrivingly, but I can still see that you are not happy. ”

"For the sake of this position, you later designed to exclude my father, and I can actually see it, but I just thought that you were dedicated to the country, so I persuaded my father to quit. No one can threaten you anymore, but you are fighting from east to west, but you can't even protect your own daughter, are you happy? You now own the entire Yunxiao Continent, you can leave your name in history, and when you die, what else will there be?"

"I don't want Ming'er to be like you in the future, for the throne, don't want brothers, don't want husbands and wives, don't want daughters, but in the end I can't get anything, I just want him to be like ordinary people, live happily and happily. Lu Wan said hurriedly, with an abnormal blush on her face.

Du Ziping's brain boomed, and he couldn't help but be stunned. At this time, he heard Lu Wan say again: "Your Majesty, can you promise me?"

Du Ziping looked at this woman who had been with him for thirty years, and for the first time realized that she was actually not happy, in the past thirty years, there was always a melancholy between her eyebrows, and he had not paid attention.

"I don't want this position, I won't let my sister go," he couldn't help but think of Du Ming's categorical words. Thinking of this, Du Ziping sighed and said, "Okay, I promise you, tomorrow I will abolish his position as the crown prince and let him be a rich man." ”

"I don't want to," a cold voice came, but Du Ming walked in with his head held high. "Father, have I done something wrong? Why do you want to abolish me as a prince? Back then, I didn't want to be a prince, I only asked my sister not to marry far away. You disagree, saying that this seat is mine. ”

"I later vowed to be a great emperor and to protect my dearest people. I didn't understand it back then, but now I finally understand the reason why you married my sister, but why did you abolish me again? Will the fourth, eighth, and ninth brothers do better than me after they ascend the throne?"

Du Ziping was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't think about why the prince suddenly appeared. In this life, the things I have experienced appear in my mind one by one.

He suddenly thought: "What have I gained in this life? The joy of husband and wife? Lu Wanjing is afraid of me, as if she has never loved me, and her favorite daughter is my own hand to bury her life." King Shou was victimized by my tricks, and now even my son has become so indifferent, but in the end, I still beware of this, calculate that, what is it for?"

The more he thought about it, the more he had a headache, and he actually became in a trance, and heard someone shouting in his ear: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?

In the cave, Du Ziping was half-leaning on the stone wall, tears streaming down his eyes, he was already deep in a fantasy. At this moment, a golden light slowly flashed in his palm, and a five-clawed golden dragon several inches in size swam under the skin.

In the illusion, Du Ziping only felt very tired and tired, the sound in his ears became more and more distant, and suddenly, a sharp pain came, he woke up suddenly, used his mana, the scenery in front of him changed, and he returned to the cave.

He secretly thought: Is this the first level? This illusion is so good, if he can't wake up, he will sink from now on, and he will never wake up again, but how does his own family break the illusion? The first level is so sad, and the next two levels are only afraid that there will be more danger of death, and his heart moves, is this the tempering of the Dao heart?

The so-called Dao Heart Tempering is not helpful for the progress of cultivation, however, when advancing, the Dao Heart is unstable, and the Heart Demon will take advantage of the void, which is very dangerous, and there is often only one end of fall. Monks all know that entering the world is extremely helpful for the cultivation of the Dao Heart, but their own time is limited, and their cultivation on weekdays is not enough, so where will they go to the world to temper the Dao Heart.

As a result, some famous sects used various means such as illusions to temper their disciples, and the first level of this Longyuan pot must be a similar situation.

Du Ziping savored everything in the fantasy world and seemed to have an understanding. He secretly thought to himself: In this world, whether it is an emperor or a general, or a sage and hero, who can really be at ease? In the illusionary world, if he is not in a hurry to form an alliance with Roulan to destroy Dongqiang, why will he bury the happiness of Du Qing'er's life in the future, this is the desire for profit, and the desire for speed will not be reached.

He looked at the stone cave again, sighed, and muttered, "Although the Ascending Dragon Fruit can help me advance to the fetal movement stage, if it weren't for my covetousness of this cave heavenly spirit weapon and letting Wen Ruyu and the others explore the path in advance, how could I be trapped here? How could I take this risk? If I can't restrain the greed of people's hearts, I am afraid that this path of cultivation will not go far in the future." ”

Thinking of this, the cold sweat on his forehead was even more Cen Cen down, and now he was in a dilemma, and he didn't know what to do for a while. Suddenly, he thought again: "The life of the illusion is actually a true portrayal of me." What I lack in my life is the determination to move forward, break the boat, and vow not to give up until the goal is achieved, and the result is often to harm others and myself. ”

As soon as he thought of this, he stood up and groaned: "A dream is true and illusory, and he is alone and only enters the dragon abyss." But I want to embark on the road of immortality and be a free immortal in the world. ”

He smiled, walked forward, looked forward and backward, and left behind the meaning of gains and losses.

A flash of light flashed, and in front of him stood a golden-armored swordsman. This golden-armored swordsman is two feet tall, with a pinching of magic tricks and a golden sword light, soaring into the air, emitting bursts of dragon groans. At this moment, the sword intent of the golden-armored swordsman could no longer be suppressed, and his cultivation was impressively a nine-layer consummation of qi induction.

Du Ziping only glanced at it, and when he landed, he only felt that there was only sword light flying all over the hole, and nothing else, and even this gold-armored swordsman seemed to no longer exist. He immediately understood that the swordsmanship cultivation of this golden-armored swordsman far exceeded the qi induction period, but the cultivation was suppressed in the qi induction period.

He let out a long roar, and two dragon-slaying sword rays flew up, and the green rays in the cave flashed, instantly suppressing the golden sword light. He had just experienced the tempering of the Dao Heart and realized the courage and courage of sword cultivation, and his swordsmanship immediately improved to the next level, but compared to this golden armor swordsman, it was still far behind. But he took a big advantage, and the dragon slaying technique seemed to be the nemesis of this golden-armored swordsman's swordsmanship, so as soon as he made a move, he had the upper hand.

It's just that Du Ziping knows how sharp his dragon-slaying sword is, but this golden sword light has an awe-inspiring meaning, like a reef in the waves, letting the waves surge, standing still, and when the waves retreat, he reveals his unyielding body. What's more, the cultivation of this golden-armored swordsman is even higher than Du Ziping.

For Du Ziping, now is a good opportunity to hone his swordsmanship. He cultivated at home, without personal guidance, and the incomprehension was all up to him, but now he met an opponent whose swordsmanship and cultivation were above him, but he couldn't help himself, so he just used it to practice.

But when he saw two cyan sword rays and a golden sword light, he tumbled and tumbled. Du Ziping is more and more free to sway, the two swords are uncertain, flying like a dragon, unpretentious, hovering into a light wheel, like through the clouds and bright moon, light in Kyushu; punctual into a Taoist halo, round and wishful, when it is really a copper wall, stable as Mount Tai, as fast as lightning when attacking, swift and incoherent, hit the golden armor swordsman, turned into a glow of ten thousand ways, like ten thousand blades.

The golden-armored swordsman only relied on a golden sword light, condensed several layers of scale armor, and within a zhang of the surrounding area, he protected it tightly, and occasionally fought back one or two times, fierce and fierce, and the strange soldiers stood out in the dignified array, breaking the cyan sword in the sky, just like lightning cutting through the sky, so that Du Ziping did not dare to approach.

Du Ziping's body method was expanded, and after the fight, not only did his swordsmanship improve by leaps and bounds, but also his body technique with the Dragon God Fist also grew greatly, and he found many ways.

At the beginning, I could still distinguish the figure of Du Ziping, and then gradually I only saw a white shadow retreating within a radius of a few feet, and it was ethereal and unpredictable, and finally it seemed to turn into a cloud of white mist, slowly enveloping a place the size of a few zhang in a radius.

Ren this golden armor swordsman cultivated his swordsmanship, but he was restrained by the dragon slaying technique, and it was gradually difficult to perform. Later, he attacked with sword light, even if he broke through Du Ziping's sword, his power and speed were greatly reduced, allowing Du Ziping to easily avoid or block it.

And Du Ziping swept a sword ray at will, and several layers of golden sword scales were torn apart, as if they were vulnerable. When the fight reached the tight place, Du Ziping let out a long roar, the human sword was united, and the sword light rolled, and the gold-armored swordsman was immediately cut in two.
