The matter of the thirty-six caves and seventy-two islands of the Vulture Palace came to an end, and after Cao Xu returned to Juxianzhuang, he wrote a letter to Wu Xingyun and snatched away other people's subordinates, so he could explain it well. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the Ethereal Peak and Vulture Palace, Wu Xingyun was busy rejuvenating for the third time, impacting the realm of the grandmaster, and he didn't care about these things at all.

Subsequently, Cao Xu returned to Drum Mountain and used the help of ice silkworms and clams to refine the five qi in his chest.

At this time, above the vast northern land, the counterinsurgency army commanded by Yelu Hongji, the lord of the Liao State, had already slaughtered towards Tokyo Road with great momentum.

Although it has been rectified for several months, Murong Fu is basically still a rabble. In the eyes of many Khitans, this battle is sure to be won no matter how it is fought.

However, just when the two armies were in a decisive battle, the Jurchens, who had always been as well-behaved and obedient as dogs, viciously bit their Khitan master.

The Liao State lost its troops and had no choice but to withdraw its troops. Murong Fu's strength was greatly damaged, and he licked/licked his wounds silently. The Jurchens thus appeared on the stage of history.

At this time, the Western Xia marched eastward, attacked the Xijing Road of the Liao State, and watched the Qiantao Plain, which made the Liao State even worse. In addition, the Song Dynasty in the south has always been worried about the sixteen states of Yanyun, and the Liao State, which used to dominate all directions, but at this moment, it gives people a feeling of wind and rain.

It's a pity that the empress dowager Gao Taotao, who listened to the government in the Great Song Dynasty, fell ill at this juncture, and Song Zhezong, who had been enduring it for several years, did not say a word.

The dispute between the emperor and the queen, the new party and the old party, and the sharp contradictions made the Great Song Dynasty powerless to take care of it at all, which made countless people sigh for it.

Time is always passing before we know it.

In the hot June, even in the Drum Mountain, it is difficult to escape the scorching sun.

Under a big tree in the mountains, Cao Xu lay leisurely on a rocking chair, playing with two ice silkworms in his hands.

The slightly closed eyes flashed with golden and silver light, and the dappled light and shadow sprinkled by the sunlight through the layers of branches and leaves seemed to converge on his eyes. This made Cao Xu, who was already in the shadows, more and more blurred.

"Senior brother is so Yaxing. A crisp voice came to my ears.

Cao Xu opened his eyes, the golden and silver light in his eyes disappeared in an instant, and the light around him immediately returned to normal levels.

Not far away, a woman in a goose yellow Luo shirt, with a plump body and a beautiful face, was watching this scene with great interest.

"Congratulations to Senior Sister for her great achievements and successful entry into the realm of the Grandmaster. Cao Xu stood up and congratulated.

Wu Xingyun turned in a circle, showing her beautiful posture to the fullest, she was nearly 100 years old, but at this time she was like a girl, martial arts to this point, there is indeed a mystery of heaven and earth.

The rejuvenation of "Eight Desolations and Six Combinations", the easy tendon washing of the marrow of "Taiyin Refining Form", and the spiritual transformation after breaking the obsession of Wuyazi, the integration of the three has created today's Wuxingyun.

"Senior sister, do you plan to practice the Immortal Dao with me in the future, or continue to explore the Martial Dao. Cao Xu asked.

"How is the martial arts?" Wu Xingyun asked.

Cao Xu said: "Martial arts is based on the 'body', whether it is the grandmaster out of the yin god, or the great grandmaster out of the yang god, or even the yin and yang pole change, casting the original god, but in the end, it is all about better control of the body and exploring the potential of the physical body. Tianshan Folding Plum Hands, Northern Shengong, and Xiao Wuxiang Gong are all the results of Xiaoyaozi's exploration of martial arts. Martial arts belongs to the way of refining, because of the changes in heaven and earth, the road ahead has been broken at this time, although it collides with Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism, and has produced many changes, but it can't change this dilemma. ”

"What about the Immortal Dao? Wu Xingyun said.

Cao Xu said: "The immortal road is based on 'qi', believing that all things in heaven and earth are just the evolution of one qi, with the five elements of Tai Chi, the eight trigrams and the nine palaces, and the Heluo star as the principle, and the Yuan Qi of heaven and earth as the foundation, cultivating infinite means, riding the smoke and haze, resisting the clouds, and dissipating at ease." ”

"I am willing to participate in the immortal path with my junior brother, and I also ask my junior brother to teach me. Wu Xingyun said.

"Sister Wizard, please take a seat, and listen to me. Cao Xu said, inviting Wu Xingyun to sit down, and he sat on a big stone next to the chair.

Teaching others is also a process of learning from the past.

In the process of teaching Wu Xingyun's "Pure Yang Dan Sutra", Cao Xu found many problems that he had ignored in the past, and the construction of immortal roads was basically a process of tempering, and Cao Xu inevitably took a big step because of the help of ice silkworms and clams.

Now to go back and fill in the gaps, this is an indispensable lesson in practice.

When Cao Xu and Wu Xingyun were concentrating on cultivation in the Drum Mountain, in the Bianliang Palace in the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, in the back pavilion of the Chongqing Palace, the Empress Dowager Gao's illness turned dramatic, and her life had come to an end.

Zhao Xu (Song Zhezong), who has been on the throne for eight years and has never said a word in the court and politics, and everything is decided by the Empress Dowager Gao, finally waited for this day.

At this time, Zhao Xu bowed down and stood in front of the hospital bed of the Empress Dowager Gao, listening to her instructions.

Gao said: "Child, the ancestors had a difficult business, but fortunately, the ancestors were profound, and they had to have peace today." But when your father was in power, the whole country was in a boil, and it almost caused a great change, and the people are still terrified when they think about it, what is the reason for your words?"

Zhao Xu said: "Children often hear their grandmother say that their father listened to Wang Anshi's words and changed the old law, so that the people were miserable. ”

Gao's dry face moved slightly, sighed, and said: "Wang Anshi is knowledgeable and talented, he was not a bad person originally, and his intentions are naturally for the country and the people, but ...... Alas...... But your father, who has an impatient temperament and only hopes to succeed quickly, does not know that things in the world are often not done quickly, and they are in a hurry, but they are messed up. ”

Zhao Xu said: "Grandma, it's a pity that my father's will was not completed, and his good laws and good intentions have been ruined by the villain." ”

Gao Shi was taken aback and asked in a trembling voice, "What...... What is the good law? What is the ...... What kind of villain?"

Zhao Xu said: "Aren't the Qingmiao Method, the Horse Protection Law, and the Armor Protection Law created by my father and emperor all good laws for enriching the country and strengthening the army? ”

When Gao Shi heard this, his face changed color, and he was about to sit up and say something, but he felt that his energy was leaving his body bit by bit, and the white mist in front of him was dangling, and his mind was blank, and he couldn't say anything.

Zhao Xu said: "Our Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures have been occupied by the Liao people, and we have to pay him a tribute of gold and silk every year, which is like a vassal and a vassal state, and the child is the son of the Great Song Dynasty, how can we swallow this breath? Could it be that we will always be oppressed by the Liao people? When Wang Anshi changed the law, his father worked hard all his life, and it was not for this? The child must inherit his father's will. This ambition is not successful, there is such a chair. ”

As he spoke, he drew his sword from his waist and split a chair beside him in two.

Gao Shi was shocked and shouted, "You...... You....... He sat up suddenly, stretched out his index finger with his right hand, and pointed at Zhao Xu.

Under the prestige of the Gao clan, Zhao Xu was so frightened that he took three steps back, staggered, almost fell, pressed the hilt of the sword with his hand, his heart jumped suddenly, and shouted outward: "Hurry, you guys come quickly." ”

The eunuchs heard the emperor's call and immediately rushed into the palace.

Zhao Xu said in a trembling voice: "She...... She...... Look at her, but what's wrong?"

A eunuch walked up a few steps, stared at the Gao family for a moment, and boldly, stretched out his hand to take a breath, and said: "Qi Emperor, the Empress Dowager is in control of Bintian." ”

Zhao Xu was overjoyed, laughed, and exclaimed: "Great, wonderful! I am the emperor, I am the emperor!"

He has actually been an emperor for many years, but over the years, this emperor has no real name, and the power is all in the hands of the Empress Dowager Gao, until this moment, he is the real emperor.
