Jiang Shenzi and Lu Ming fought for 300 rounds, regardless of victory or defeat. Fan Hui Zhenren and Wine Man killed Lu Jing and Lu Gao one after another, and also came to support Jiang Shenzi. Lu Ming suddenly fell into the disadvantage. Seeing this, Wei Dao also came to fall into the well, forcing Lu Ming to only parry and have no power to fight back.

Unexpectedly, Lu Ming suddenly propped up a defensive light curtain, blocking the attack while also absorbing damage, so as to temper his powerful body.

In half an hour, Lu Ming's momentum rose sharply, reaching the internalization realm. Then, Jiang Shenzi and the others were severely injured by torture.

In desperation, Jiang Shenzi sacrificed the magic weapon of the cave, included everyone in it, and fled quickly. Of course, he will not leave Chen Chong. However, by the way, he received more than ten young and beautiful city lord's mansion maids.

"Lu Ming's strength is so strong, his exercises are so weird?" Chen Chong was shocked when he heard this.

Jiang Shenzi said leisurely: "Lu Ming's exercises are indeed very strange. I've heard about how he got this weird exercise. Then, he told Lu Ming's story to himself.

The poem said: "No one asked under the window for ten years, and he became famous all over the world in one fell swoop." "It's about a scholar sitting alone under the window to do learning, hard work for several years or even decades are not cared for, once the champion wins, the phoenix nirvana, from insects to dragons, enjoy infinite glory, admired by thousands of people.

This is especially true for the children of poor families. Because of their poor family background, they have no money and no status, and they are often bullied by the rich and powerful, and it is difficult for them to turn over for many generations.

Since there is the imperial examination, no matter whether you are high or low, you can participate in the selection, as long as you are knowledgeable, you can stand out, and from then on, you can turn over and sing, increase your official ranks, and glorify your ancestors.

Therefore, countless outstanding children of poor families have taken this shortcut, they have the dream of getting ahead, shouldering the mission of glorifying their ancestors, hanging their heads from the beams, cone piercing, sprinting on the battlefield of the imperial examination with a fearless spirit, and striving for fame.

Lu Ming is one of them.

Lu Ming was born in a mountain farming family, his ancestors were cloth clothes for several generations, and they also fought hard for the imperial examination, but the road to the imperial examination is really like thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge, and it is difficult to succeed and difficult to go to the sky.

Although the ancestors were unsuccessful for several generations, they also accumulated some knowledge, especially the collection of many books, leaving opportunities for future generations to forge ahead.

Lu Ming has been studying hard under the persecution of his father since he was a child, according to his father's original words: "The long-cherished wish that has not been fulfilled by the eighteen generations of ancestors who have left home depends on you to realize it." He also secretly vowed like his eighteenth generation ancestors: "I must succeed." ”

It's just that the eighteenth generation of ancestors have been deceived by life, and he, after surviving 50,000 lonely, bleak, and helpless days, was declared the new champion after half a month of worrying, hesitating, and fearful waiting.

That year, he was weak and weak, and on that day, he laughed wildly, indulged in galloping on the field, wantonly releasing more than ten years of repression, it was really "the past was filthy and not enough to boast, and now there is no end to debauchery." The spring breeze is proud, and you can see all the Chang'an flowers in one day. ”

Suddenly, the figure of a white-bearded old man appeared on the field, looming, flickering and dark, and whispered to Lu Ming: "Wealth is like smoke and will eventually be shattered, and glory will be empty if a dream is empty." Ziyun Pavilion has an appointment with a good guest, and the dragon is out of trouble in Vanity Fair. ”

The voice was not loud, but it was like a heavenly sound, which made Lu Ming calm down instantly.

Lu Ming quietly pondered the old man's words, there was still something unclear, and when he wanted to ask, the old man's figure had already dissipated, as if he had never appeared. So he went back to the inn in a huff.

Lu Ming is the champion and famous in the world, although he has not yet been crowned an official, but it is a matter of time before he becomes an official, and it must be not small. Therefore, many dignitaries and nobles have come to marry him.

Gao Yushi gave him a thousand taels of silver, Wang Shilang gave him a horse, Yue Dutong gave him two guards with strong martial arts, and Dr. Ning wanted to marry his beloved daughter to him, and he sent a matchmaker to match, and so on. He politely declined.

Born in a poor family, he is not moved by huge sums of money, BMWs, and beauties, but he has his principles. Within a few days, nearly 100 people came to visit him, and he received them with courtesy. Everyone else was envious of him for enjoying such a privilege, but he himself felt miserable.

Finally, on the day of the Tang Emperor's summons, Lu Ming put on his court clothes and entered the palace early in the morning to face the saint.

Not to mention how majestic and magnificent the Son of Heaven is in the dynasty and Long live the mountain, it is only said that after the Tang Emperor summoned the top three new branches, he took official positions one by one, but Lu Ming, the champion, was not sealed.

So many dignitaries and nobles are talking to him for being the champion, isn't it because he will definitely be awarded a high-ranking official position, but now there is nothing to seal him, so how can he be embarrassed, and how can he be embarrassed by his high-ranking officials and nobles.

It is impossible for him to have no resentment in his heart, but he does not dare to show it in the slightest, so he only stands calmly in the court and listens to the holy oracle.

For a time, the dynasty was full of silence, each with his own thoughts. After a long time, the Tang Emperor suddenly opened Chrysostom and said: "Lu Ming, Qing moved the Beijing division with the name of the article, and he was high; after the champion, there were many officials who gave gifts and married people, but Qing did not accept it, and his temperament was incorruptible; when he entered the palace and saw him, he was in harmony with his fellow subjects, and he was not arrogant; he was sealed in the same subject and Qing was not sealed, calm as usual, and finally had no complaints, and he was not impatient, so he was high and honest, not arrogant or impatient, and he was deeply in line with my heart. ”

"I married Yu Qing with the poem of the seventeenth princess, and the surname of the poem was changed to her husband, and she was renamed Lu Shi. ”

"The fifteenth poet, still young, so the marriage is not completed for the time being, Feng Qing is the Marquis of Ziyun, lives in the Ziyun Palace, reads with poems, waits for the poems to be successful, begins to get married, and then enters the court as an official, and assists me in governing the country. ”

The words of the Tang Emperor shook the Manchu Dynasty. According to the practice of the Tang Dynasty, when a woman marries, she should be surnamed with her husband, but only for folk women, and when a royal woman marries, not only will she not change her surname with her husband, but she will have to take her surname with her husband, and the children born will also follow the royal surname. Although there is no name, it is a practice and has been followed for more than 10,000 years. But now, the Tang Emperor has asked the princess to change her surname to follow the horse, which is really strange.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were secretly speculating: "Could it be that this Lu Ming has a great background, and even His Majesty is jealous, and even stammered." ”

Lu Ming didn't know why, he just obeyed the holy decree, and hurriedly thanked him.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, a little eunuch led Lu Ming to the Ziyun Palace. Lu Ming therefore asked, "What is this Purple Cloud Palace?"

The little eunuch said: "Ziyun Palace was the place where Emperor Yuan enlightened in the past, and later Emperor Yuan became an immortal and went to a different continent, and Ziyun Palace has been used as a holy place for cultivation in the palace since then, and only the most outstanding children of the royal family can enter." ”

"It is said that those with foreign surnames and those who are below the transformation of martial arts are not allowed to enter. However, Master Hou, you are really special, you are a concubine and did not change your royal surname, but let the princess change her surname to follow you; and you don't look like a strong person, but I am afraid that you have not even reached the realm of weapons; what is even more incredible is that Your Majesty actually named you the Marquis of Ziyun, with the same name as Ziyun Palace. I really don't understand. ”

"However, Emperor Ming and Princess Shi are waiting for you in the Purple Cloud Pavilion, and they may know the reason. ”

Lu Ming asked, "Who is Emperor Ming?" And the Purple Cloud Pavilion, is there really a Purple Cloud Pavilion in the Purple Cloud Palace?"

He thought that the figure of the white-bearded old man in the wild room had said, "The Purple Cloud Pavilion has an appointment with a good guest, and the dragon who has escaped trouble in Vanity Fair", could it be this Purple Cloud Pavilion.

The little eunuch said: "Hou Ye is well-read, don't you know Emperor Ming, the twenty-fifth monarch of the Tang Dynasty?"

"Emperor Ming is now in Ziyun Palace, this is indeed a top secret, but Emperor Ming is clearly recorded in the history books. ”

However, the history books say that he went to the immortal more than 3,000 years ago, not that he died, but that he went to a different continent after becoming an immortal. ”

"It is said that after Emperor Yuan, the founder of the Tang Dynasty, became an immortal and went to a foreign continent, he never came back, he is an immortal, and the sky is long-lived, eternal and eternal, once he has been gone for thousands of years, he should always come back to see the descendants, but he is gone, and there may be some secrets hidden in it. ”

"Until more than 3,000 years ago, Emperor Ming also became an immortal and went to another continent, hoping to find Emperor Yuan and find out why he did not come back. ”

"Emperor Ming went for 3,000 years and didn't come back until a hundred years ago. But at this time, Emperor Ming's realm had fallen to the realm of tribulation, and it was said that it was difficult to recover to the heavenly immortals. Since then, Emperor Ming has lived in Ziyun Palace for a long time, concentrating on cultivating outstanding royal disciples. ”

"As for what happened after the second emperor went to another continent, no one knows, maybe His Majesty knows. ”

While speaking, the two of them had already walked through the three palaces and six courtyards, and came to the front of the Ziyun Pavilion in the Purple Cloud Palace. At that time, two people were sitting under the pavilion:

One is a white-bearded old man, who is a little withered, but he has a kingly demeanor, which is awe-inspiring, Lu Ming is not only respectful, but also shocked, because this white-bearded old man is the figure he saw in the wild that day.

The other is a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl in palace costumes, her appearance is full of country and city, Sprite and Coke, her temperament is nine points elegant, and with a point of playfulness, Lu Ming quietly looked at it twice.

These two people are obviously Emperor Ming and Princess Shi in the mouth of the little eunuch.

Emperor Ming looked at Lu Ming and said with a smile: "Little friend, we have finally officially met." ”

Lu Ming heard what was in his words, and he was secretly shocked in his heart, and asked, "I don't know what Emperor Ming means by this?"

Emperor Ming said: "I know that you have a lot of doubts, so sit down first and listen to me slowly." ”

"A few days ago, I was meditating in the palace, and I was suddenly interrupted by a burst of wild laughter, knowing that the laugher was still dozens of miles away, so I hurriedly went out of my body to see what was going on. ”

"I found you in the wild, although you have never practiced martial arts, you are naturally full of energy, and you may have inherited some kind of bloodline. ”

"I once obtained a supernatural power to observe bloodlines in another continent, so I used the supernatural power and found that you have indeed inherited an extremely strong bloodline, although it has not yet been activated, but the power unconsciously released is also extremely strong. I immediately moved my heart to love you and wanted to take you as an apprentice. ”

"I also thought that although Shi'er did not inherit any bloodline, she was a genius and had advanced to the spiritual fusion stage before she was fifteen years old, and she just complemented you, so I instructed His Majesty to recruit you as a concubine and send you to me to practice martial arts. ”

Although Lu Ming had never practiced martial arts, he was a little curious about martial arts, so he asked: "I have never practiced martial arts, I don't know what the meaning of the transformation is, can Emperor Ming give me advice?"

Emperor Ming said: "In our difficult to leave the mainland, the realm of martial artists is divided into soul refining, soul melting, transformation, gathering evil, and crossing the tribulation. Although the common martial artists on the street can perform a few strokes, they have not even reached the melting period. ”

"Only those who are above the Soul Fusion Period can be called a true martial artist. ”

"If you reach the stage of transformation, you will become a strong man, enjoy respectable prestige and reputation, and you can get a high official position in the army. ”

"Those who have reached the gathering period are all top powerhouses, they are at the hegemon level, and they also occupy the highest positions in the army. ”

"As for the Tribulation Period, they are all people who will become immortals if they go one step further, and they will not easily appear in the world, and the number is very small, and the number of Tribulation powerhouses in the entire continent is less than two. ”

Lu Ming asked again: "Can you really become an immortal by practicing martial arts?"
