Chapter 16: Retreat
It was not long after Tangshan arrived at the Hou Mansion.
Imperial City, Imperial Palace.
Emperor Yan Chengba and He Guifei were sitting together, listening to the detailed report of the royal spy leader, and as soon as the spy leader finished speaking, He Guifei couldn't hold back any longer.
Knocked down the golden and jade-colored wine glass in his hand on the spot, and the red wine was sprinkled in front of the eyes of the leader of the secret agents, and the gorgeous color seemed to be mixed with an inexplicable blood!
The leader of the secret agents guessed that this time there would be many people who would be unlucky, and among these people, it was likely that his figure would appear, and a chill instantly filled his body, making his kneeling body even lower.
"This damn Lin Xian Dao, really damn it!" He Guifei scolded sadly: "This damn Lin Xian Dao, didn't my nephew He Tiangang kill a few untouchables, and he asked for my nephew's surname." ”
"Your Majesty, you have to be the master for me, my nephew died so miserably!"
Yan Chengba listened, leaned forward, pointed at He Guifei's nose, and scolded angrily: "You stupid woman, don't discipline your nephew well, go to slaughter the villagers, and treat the imperial law as nothing, he is so bold." ”
He Guifei was stunned for a moment when he was scolded by Emperor Yan Chengba, and Yan Chengba continued to scold: "Also, Lin Xiandao guy doesn't even want to offend me, if you offend him, can you still find him for alchemy in the future? ”
When He Guifei heard this, her face was even more unbearable, and she was so angry that she almost vomited blood.
It's a pity that he didn't dare to scold Yan Chengba, so he threw his anger on the leader of the secret agents in front of him, and scolded him angrily: "You too, the royal family spends so much money to support you every year, what are you doing to eat the land?
Faced with He Guifei's unreasonable accusations.
The leader of the secret agents couldn't help but defend aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, our secret agents in the royal family are only responsible for monitoring and collecting intelligence, and are not responsible for protecting the children of the powerful." ”
"Damn idiot!"
Yan Chengba glanced at the leader of the secret agents, and then said angrily: "You go out!"
"Yes!" said the leader of the secret agents hurriedly, he didn't want to stay here for a long time, and it was too late for Yan Chengba to tell him to go out.
"Wait!"
However, at this moment, He Guifei suddenly stopped him, and then persuaded the emperor: "Your Majesty, since you can't deal with Lin Xiandao, then you should deal with his disciples and the black-armored guards who accompany him!"
"Stupid woman. Yan Chengba said angrily.
He Guifei didn't answer directly, her face was white and red, she thought for a while, waved her hand helplessly, and sent away the leader of the secret agents before saying to the emperor: "Your Majesty, this Lin Xiandao is too domineering, he relies on his strength to kill the children of the powerful at will, not only does he not stop the royal family's orders, but he also only refines a few pills for the royal family every year, can Your Majesty tolerate the existence of this kind of person?"
Yan Chengba was originally quite depressed, he originally wanted to win over Lin Xiandao, but when he heard this, his face suddenly darkened, there are too few alchemists above the human immortal, not to mention a low-level immortal civilization empire like the Yanlin Empire, even if it is those high-level immortal Dao civilization empires, alchemists are like powerful and blessed, who cares about them!
"Hey, what can be done, Qi Refiners have privileges in every empire, not to mention alchemists who are more precious than Qi Refiners, the Yanlin Empire now only has two alchemists above the rank of human immortals, one is a member of the Mu family, and the other is Lin Xiandao, if Lin Xiandao is disposed of, then the royal family will lack a lot of important pills, and the empire will become the Mu family." The emperor pondered for a long time and spoke.
"However, that Lin Immortal Dao is too domineering. When He Guifei said this, she couldn't help but burst into tears. I don't know if she is sad for his nephew He Tiangang, or if she is sad for the lack of alchemists in the empire.
"Alright, alright!" Yan Chengba hurriedly comforted: "Don't worry, this matter won't be settled like this, just wait for my imperial brother to become a human immortal alchemist, when the time comes, hum." ”
Obviously, Yan Chengba finally decided to put up with this breath for the time being, after all, the involvement during this period was too great.
In fact, He Guifei didn't expect her two tears to impress the emperor at all, all she had to do was to give Lin Xiandao some eye medicine, as long as the emperor could increase his bad feelings towards Lin Xiandao, then she would not be a vain performance.
Obviously, from Yan Chengba's black face, He Guifei already knew that she had succeeded this time.
She is a smart woman who knows what it means to accept what she sees, so after Yan Chengba's persuasion, she immediately stopped crying, so as not to make the emperor feel bad when she cried.
Tang San may not know what happened in the palace, but when he killed He Tiangang, he thought about how to deal with it.
Tangshan lived in the Hou Mansion and completely integrated into his identity.
...............
Two days after Tangshan lived in the Hou Mansion, Yin Jiang swallowed the "Pure Yang Cleansing Pill" given to him by Tangshan, and to Tangshan's surprise, Yin Jiang turned out to be a nine-rank martial artist. Although Yin Jiang did not tell Tangshan his true identity, Tangshan guessed that Yin Jiang was definitely not the original inhabitant of that village.
These did not have any impact on Tangshan's life and cultivation, and he still regularly repeated this kind of life that seemed monotonous but full of meaning to others.
One day, two days, half a month, a month......
Time passed slowly in this incomparably boring way.
Accumulation, accumulation, accumulation!
Accumulating the amount of true qi and breaking through the qi condensation period is the main goal of Tangshan's current cultivation, cultivating in time, so that there is more and more true qi in the body, reaching the qi stage, and then the qi condensing period.
In addition to accumulating the true qi in his body, cultivating the secret weapon in the inheritance, restricting him from mainly cultivating the escape technique in the Xuantian Returning to the Source Sutra is also an important goal for him.
He meditates at night and cultivates during the day.
The courtyard where Tangshan lives is very large, there are front and back gardens, there are promenades and water pavilions, east and west, a hundred people will not be crowded here, and now there are only Tangshan, Lin Xiandao and four maids living in this courtyard, which seems empty.
In fact, Tang Shan had wanted to practice these retreat techniques for a long time, but it was delayed for various reasons.
Escape is a profound spell that contains a wide range, the most famous and the most extensive is the Five Elements Escape Technique.
And the retreat technique, no matter where it is, in anyone's hands, is a high-end secret art, not only precious, but not easy to cultivate successfully.
Why is that?
Because the art of escape is not to learn the method, you can escape as much as you want, the most important thing is the perception of the five elements between heaven and earth.
If you have a very knowledgeable understanding of the power of the earth, then even if you don't know how to retreat, as long as you cultivate to a certain realm, you can naturally escape into the earth, which is the origin of the early retreat.
And now, with the development of the times, although the Escape Method in the Mist Continent is widely spread, only a few people will, and most of the Qi Refiners are either unsuccessful in cultivation, unless there are special opportunities and special physiques, for example, the innate Earth Virtue Body, the Fire Walking Body, such special physiques, they can practice the Escape Method, and practice extremely high attainments.
Of course, this does not exclude some people who have a high state of mind cultivation, or who have an epiphany because of chance, and there are also those who have in-depth research on the power of the five elements or one of them.
They can also practice the art of retreat to a higher level.
Ordinary people go to practice, if they don't work hard, they can only last for a while at most, and they will be rejected by the boundless power of the five elements.
And it is only ordinary soil, and it is impossible to pass through stones or rocks, minerals, and stone mines with aura deep underground.
In short, there is no trick in this, only by practice and the grasp and perception of the power of the five elements.
Tangshan's "Xuantian Returning to the Source Sutra" has the "Escape Technique", which records the practice of the Escape Technique, the Five Elements Escape Method is the most complex and the most branched one, in addition, there are wind escape, thunder escape, blood escape and so on.
Their requirements are varied, in addition to the blood escape, the other escape requirements are very high, anyway, it can be summed up as the perception of heaven and earth, the nature of the universe, and the desolation of the universe, which is commonly known as "the perception of heaven and earth!".
Tangshan only has advanced cultivation methods, but he still has to spend a lot of effort to practice, to study, to experience, to understand.
There is no trickery, only hard work and perseverance.
Time passed slowly, month by month.
It's a pity that Tangshan has been cultivating quietly for a long time, and the storm in the secret swept in, and in the second month of Tangshan's residence in the Hou Mansion, Tangshan broke through the middle of the Qi period, and entered the late stage, Tang Shize found Tangshan.
"Good son, tomorrow my father's court meeting will be officially crowned, and you will also go to the court meeting with me!"
"Dad, I see. Tang San nodded and said.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the whole Hou Mansion began to get busy, and the door of Tangshan was also knocked on, and the four maids of Spring Peach, Summer Melon, Autumn Orange, and Winter Pear walked in.
"Little Hou Ye, please wash and change your clothes, today is Hou Ye's Hou Hou Zi, Hou Ye instructed you to pack up and go to the main hall to wait. Xia Gua entered the holiday and said respectfully to Tang Shan, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed and meditating.
"Got it. ”
Tang San opened his eyes, nodded, got up to wash, and changed into the clothes that Tang Shize had already prepared. After walking around twice and feeling that his clothes fit well, Tang San came to this hall.
"Little Hou Ye, see Xiao Hou Ye!"
At this moment, there are already dozens of people waiting here, seeing Tang Shan, they all clasped their fists and saluted, these people are all generals under Tang Shize, and Tang Shize made great contributions in the last war, today I want to follow Tang Shize to meet Emperor Yan Chengba and accept Emperor Yan Chengba's reward, so one by one they have come to the Jade Sword Marquis Mansion to wait around, waiting for Tang Shize.
Half an hour later, Tang Shize belatedly appeared in the hall, and after a greeting, he led the dozens of generals and a hundred black-armored guards, riding a war horse of uniform color, and slowly walked towards the palace in the imperial city.
