Chapter 226 A flash in the pan

There are three "Ming Gong" in the Immortal Palace. They are the famous "San Ming" who have successively served as Generals of the Western Expedition and opened up the Western Regions. There is also Zhang Ming who once served as Taichang, Duan Guangming who once served as Taiwei, and Huangfu Weiming who is currently Guanglu Dafu.

These three all rose to prominence through military exploits in the Western Regions, and became generals and ministers, wise officials in charge of one side, and wise generals, with reputations known to the world. Of course, the first two were excluded by the internal strife of the Three Palaces, and they defected to the Divine Religion one after another. The current Ming Gong specifically refers to Guanglu Dafu.

This Huangfu Minggong came from a noble family in the border counties and belonged to a line of imperial guards stationed at the frontier. He was not a family of aristocratic family. During the case of the Crown Prince, he was still patrolling the border on horseback. He had little to do with the party strife for power among the royal family and aristocratic families.

However, since he was a frontier soldier and was familiar with warfare, he served as a prefect and a border general, putting out fires everywhere and resisting the repeated attacks of the Divine Religion. He can be said to have worked hard and made great contributions, and was a mainstay.

However, the Three Yuans were also afraid that the "Third Ming" would win the hearts of the soldiers in the border areas and also drag the army to imitate the old "Ming". At that time, there would be no soldiers to use and no danger to take. So when the Divine Religion changed its strategic direction and the offensive slowed down, they immediately removed Huangfu Weiming's military power and transferred him back to the capital to serve.

It's a pity that the Huangfu family was born in a border village after all, their family background is too low, and their power in Sizhou is too weak. Therefore, although they turned the tide and made outstanding contributions, they are not even ranked among the Nine Ministers in terms of seniority. Until now, they are only the deputy of Guanglu Qing, Guanglu Dafu, the "most respected among all the doctors", who is in charge of discussions and responses, and specifically offers advice to the emperor.

To put it bluntly, he is just a staff officer, and a deputy at that. He is so quiet that his farts are not even loud. So it is reasonable for him to propose this policy of lifting the ban on party members. Just treat it as a loud fart this time...

But what no one expected was that Ziweiyuan was actually so accurate?
However, soon there was a rumor that Zhongshan bandits rebelled and destroyed the two states. The Zhong Changshi had many manors and houses in Gen State, which were looted by the bandits. The loss was great and he was deeply resentful. So he took the opportunity to recommend to the emperor, saying that the party had been imprisoned for a long time, and if he conspired with the rebels, it would be too late to regret. So the emperor agreed.

Of course Sanyuan would not refuse. After all, the aristocratic families always formed cliques, formed alliances, supported each other, and bet on each other. Moreover, it was the crown prince who was fighting for power with Emperor Wu, and everyone had a relative who was implicated and imprisoned because of it.

Therefore, Taiweiyuan immediately decided to pardon the rebellionists on the Ren Zi day, and forgive the remaining crimes of the aristocratic families. All the noble families should be grateful to Ziweiyuan and donate horses, crossbows, armor, gold and silver to support the court in suppressing the rebellion. They also recommended the descendants of the nobles and those who were well versed in strategy among the aristocratic and humble families to the Gongche Office to discuss confidential matters in person and evaluate their talents and appoint them to official positions.

Well, now the enthusiasm of the aristocratic families has finally been mobilized. Especially the scholars are the most excited. It turns out that these are all students of the Imperial College. They can sit and talk in the capital, so they are naturally the children of the aristocratic families. However, they are not the legitimate heirs, and cannot inherit the position of dukes and marquises. So they go through the Imperial College to select officials, and there are already more than 30,000 to 40,000 people.

It was just that because the Prince's Party attacked the corrupt officials and eunuchs around Emperor Wu and received support from the students of the Imperial College, the students of the Imperial College were also implicated in the party disaster and became the direct targets of attack. As many as a thousand people were arrested and imprisoned, and the rest lost their paths to officialdom and could not make a name for themselves. They spent all day gathering in wine shops and brothels, discussing state affairs, and were depressed.

Now it’s all right! The ban on the party has been lifted! The injustice has been redressed!

So the students of the Imperial College stopped drinking and studied late into the night, preparing to submit their studies on the official bus, showing their talents, quelling rebellions, becoming dukes and generals, and granting titles to their wives and children, thus reaching the peak of their lives.

Ming Gong...

Tiedan looked at the jade in his hand.

No matter what, the Immortal Palace has finally started to move. The royal family and the clan have temporarily reconciled, and the three palaces have reached unity. I think they will send troops soon. Now that the gambling table is set, who will win and who will lose will only depend on their own ability. The general situation in the world will become more and more chaotic...

Everyone was talking about the lifting of the ban on party members tonight, but Tiedan had no interest in listening, so he finished his drink and went back to his room.

As a result, when I opened the door, I saw Shen Jianjia lying there pretending to be dead...

Tiedan watched coldly.

"What are you making a fuss about?"

No reaction... Oh my, blood is coming out of all his orifices, he must be possessed... Then this death can't be considered homicide, right?

Tiedan was not in a hurry at all and took her pulse leisurely.

kindness……

Sure enough, the eunuchs' skills are the eunuchs' skills. Men and women cannot practice them. Only eunuchs can practice them. Well, don't think that those hermaphrodites who have circumcised themselves have feminine skills, so women can practice them.

In fact, it is quite the opposite. This "Lotus Flower, a Flash in the Pan" is extremely powerful and domineering. It will quickly mobilize the whole body's Gangqi cultivated by Gangquan, and make it surge wildly in the body and run wild in the Qi channels throughout the body. Therefore, there is no need to accumulate power like Gangquan when practicing. You can release terrifying palm power by raising your hand. Moreover, the practice is very fast. People like Jianjia who have formed an inner elixir, realized the circulation of Qi in the body, and opened up the Ren and Du meridians can practice to the third level overnight, and to the sixth level the next day.

Then something happened.

Tiedan took a quick look and found that this skill was not that simple. Before, Jianjia was at the third level, and her skill was strong, but at the sixth level, this Epiphyllum Divine Skill suddenly changed its true energy and spontaneously went backwards. From a violent explosion, it suddenly changed to a solid defense.

As it turned out, Jianjia was still inexperienced and had never practiced so many messy magic skills and secret manuals. She was caught off guard and was rushed by the chaotic Qi, causing her internal organs to be injured and bleeding, her meridians to be shaken and ruptured, and she fainted.

However, it was her first time to practice Qigong, and she had already reached the Golden Core realm, so her body would not explode due to the loss of control of Qi. Although she was fainted and unconscious at this moment, her soul was actually still sinking in the sea of ​​Qi, carefully regulating and combing her meridians.

So Tiedan drew a soul-calling talisman, slapped it on Jianjia's forehead, and called her soul back to wake her up.

"back."

Well, after all, Tiedan has no chance of learning this skill and can’t even see the technique, so how can he help?

Jianjia was not stupid. She knew her life was at stake, so she immediately recited the practice method of "The Lotus Flower of the Short-lived Magical Art".

Tiedan listened and calculated at the same time, and gradually understood where her problem lay.

Sure enough, the names of the exercises were not randomly chosen. This book, "The Lotus Flower of the Miraculous Law", actually has two classics, the sun and the moon, one yin and one yang, one Qian and one Kun, with completely different Qi movements, complementing each other.

That is to say, every time this skill is practiced to a certain level, the Qi will move in the reverse direction, from extreme yang to extreme yin. The use of Qi in each stage is completely opposite, with both release and restraint, and it also avoids using too much force and causing the person to explode.

However, the reversal of this Qi Xing change was too rapid, just like a flash in the pan, opening and closing with day and night, changing suddenly in an instant, and starting all over again. If you can make good use of this "one flash" moment, the sudden change of Qi Xing is equivalent to doubling your power, and you can burst out dozens or hundreds of times of power, but if you can't control it, you will naturally go crazy and die on the spot.

The Book of Changes says that seven is Shao Yang, eight is Shao Yin, and their lines do not change. Nine is Lao Yang, six is ​​Lao Yin, and their lines all change. According to the number of yarrow sticks, if nine is cast, Lao Yang will be obtained, and if six is ​​cast, Lao Yin will be obtained.

If Tiedan's estimation was correct, this short-lived magical skill was a sudden change from extreme yang to extreme yin at the sixth level, and then from extreme yin to extreme yang at the ninth level. Such a reversal between yin and yang was difficult for people with pure yang or pure yin to control, and was not suitable for cultivation. It was specially designed for the body of the acquired yin-yang person.

So now Jianjia’s problem is obvious.

At the beginning, the first six levels are the Sun Classic. The Epiphyllum Qi is too masculine and swift. A normal man cannot control himself and his Golden Gate will be opened and his Yang Yuan will be lost. The next three levels suddenly change to the Moon Classic. The Epiphyllum Qi is too cold. The more an ordinary woman practices, the more coldness will enter her body and hurt her lungs.

So the solution is to practice dual cultivation...

Jian Jia was furious.
"Bah! I'd rather die than practice dual cultivation with you!"

Tiedan: "Oh, die."

So he stood up, sat down at the table, and continued studying the Buddhist scriptures.

Jianjia had a talisman on her forehead and glared at him for a while, but she was unable to stop the reversal of her true Qi. She saw that the veins in her body were turning blue and purple, and she was covered with frost. She knew that she would die if she waited any longer, but she couldn't help asking,
"…How, how do I fix it? Just tell me!"

Tiedan was too lazy to pay attention to her, and said slowly,
"Junior Sister Shen, you have been the one who has been causing trouble for me from the beginning to the end. Not to mention that I have never offended you on my own initiative, I have helped you and spared your life because we are from the same sect. What's the matter? Do you really think that I owed you in my previous life and I came to repay you in this life?"

Jianjia stared at him, muffled and angry.

"You...Okay, I know, you don't owe me anything! The reason why the young marquis lost to you is because he is not capable enough and can't survive the killing calamity!
I avenged him purely to repay his kindness, and it has nothing to do with you!"

Tiedan rolled his eyes.

"You want to kill me, and it has nothing to do with me... What favor did he owe you? You want to pay him back with your life just for a duck purse?"

"That's not a duck! It's a mandarin duck... humph!"

Jianjia endured the anger and said,
"I pretended to be my aunt's maid, and hid in the Marquis's mansion to do work for Shan Li. I was often teased and embarrassed by the playboys in the capital. There were several times when I was even in danger of death. It was the young Marquis who saved me.

In life, kindness must be repaid and debts must be repaid! Since I am a disciple of Xuanmen, shouldn’t I pay off these karmas? "

Tiedan raised his eyebrows. "Oh, you were teased and embarrassed many times, and your life was in danger many times. But every time, the young marquis appeared in time to save you from danger?"

Jian Jia was silent for a moment.

"……kindness."

Tiedan looked at her with a little pity.
"Are you born with this mental disability, or did you fall down later?"

The reeds are angry,
"Let's talk about deeds, not heart! No matter what, he gave his fate to me and then died! I have to give him an explanation!
At worst, you can just tell me the number! Natural treasures, magical skills and secrets!
Just save my life, and I will repay you for your kindness. Can we fight swords again?"

"Humph, with your limited ability, what can you ask for that is worth asking for..."

Tiedan thought about it and suddenly realized,
"Your aunt is Shen Sanniang?"

Jianjia was not happy.
"Asking questions knowingly!"

Tiedan asked curiously,
"The one in the novel?"

Jianjia was stunned, ashamed and angry.
"Pooh!"

That's it.

So Tiedan said,
"What novel? Can you recite it to me?"

Jianjia was shocked.

"You, what did you say? You want me to recite that book... to you!?"

Tiedan nodded and said,
"The Lotus Sutra is as long as the Sun and Moon Classics. You can remember the completely different Qi practices, so naturally you have the basic skill of photographic memory.

Although I haven't read the novel, it's probably not a serious one. Since you've read it, you probably won't keep a copy. So don't waste time, just memorize it."

Jianjia couldn't believe it.

"You, you know that's not a serious novel and you still want me to recite it to you!! Is there something wrong with you!?"

Tiedan chuckled and flipped through the Buddhist scriptures leisurely.

"Then go ahead and die. I have nothing to lose."

Jianjia’s three views have been completely refreshed.

What the hell is this guy?
Tiedan is certainly not a beast, and he knows the saying that a gentleman can be killed but not humiliated.

But as I said, whether Jianjia was dead or alive had nothing to do with him. It would be better for her to die.

After all, her mother only wanted Tiedan to show mercy, and now it is at most regarded as not saving her, not a breach of contract. Of course, if she is really willing to recite it, it will just satisfy Tiedan's curiosity...

However, seeing that Jianjia was gnashing her teeth in hatred and almost biting her tongue, Tiedan had no choice but to explain, lest she be forced to death and have the consequences blamed on him.

"Hey, double cultivation is not something that anyone can do. Double cultivation requires two people to work together and cooperate with each other to achieve the best results. If it's one-sided, wouldn't it be forced collection of essence?

You look like an enemy now, so there's no point in practicing dual cultivation. Distraction is the most important thing to avoid when regulating internal energy. If you don't cooperate, I'm afraid you'll kill me too! Think it over!"

It sounds reasonable and plausible, but in fact, Tiedan had received Xiaoyao's true teachings and learned the true solution of Taiyin before, so there was no need for dual cultivation. He directly collected the pure Yin Epiphyllum Qi in her body and refined it for his own use. So this was purely a habit to embarrass her...

However, Jianjia didn't know these secrets, so she didn't know what kind of struggle she had gone through in her heart. In the end, her eyes were red, her cheeks were pink, she clenched her teeth, her whole body was shaking, and she said in a trembling voice,
"You... you bastard, can you please turn off the light..."

"Tsk, it's just dual cultivation. It's really troublesome to be so hesitant."

Tiedan rolled his eyes and blew out the lights with a gust of sword wind.

Chen Xuantian opened his eyes and looked at the familiar virtual cabin.

"What the hell..."

"Welcome back, Fang Su Zengliu. Your genes have been reorganized, your body has recovered, and the current memory reunion progress is 23 percent."

As soon as Chen Xuantian came out of the virtual cabin, he fell to his knees, holding his head and wailing.

"Oh my God... we can't play tricks on people like this... it's too much to do this every time..."

"Zengliu, what's wrong with you? Did you have a nightmare? Do you want to arrange psychological treatment?"

Hearing the voice of Yao Honglei behind him, Chen Xuantian sighed and stood up.

"It's okay, it's okay. I just have a mouthful of blood that I want to spit out."

"what?"

At this time, Hook on the other side came out of the cabin and saw Chen Xuantian. He hesitated for a moment and asked,

"Did he look like this before? Is it his problem or mine?"

What is his problem and my problem...

Then Chen Xuantian lowered his head and saw Tiedan's hands.

Oh, yes, have you used the sword?

Zengwu also walked to Chen Xuantian and frowned to look at Fangsu Zengliu, who was a head shorter than the college student Chen Xuantian and had become the middle school student Tiedan.

"Your muscles have shrunk a lot. Why are you experiencing changes in your body at this time? Is it a problem over there or here?"

"Uh... it should be my side, no, it should be my problem, right? I don't remember too much..."

It was impossible for Chen Xuantian to explain the matter of the innate sword energy to others, so he shone Tiedan's face into the virtual cabin.

Well, this look is quite sharp, the kind that would scare oneself when looking in the mirror in the bathroom at night. Well, now he is also a replica of the others... Er, no, this look is a replica of the original? Doesn't that mean...

"Warning! Warning! Gouqian Er's physical rehabilitation has failed! Gouqian Er's physical rehabilitation has failed! Prepare to disinfect! Prepare to disinfect!"

"what!"

Suddenly, the alarm sounded at the Cangtian base!
bang bang bang!
Multiple fire doors and safety gates suddenly fell down, trapping all members of Team 3 in the virtual cabin laboratory!
Wow!
The nozzle above the head was turned to maximum, spraying dark blue liquid madly, quickly covering the floor of the laboratory with a layer of oily LSL solution. The highly concentrated liquid quickly evaporated into a thick blue smoke that filled the laboratory, just like someone had thrown a gas smoke bomb.

In the midst of the blue smoke, the virtual cabin of the Hook-Qian II, which had not been opened until now, was actually flashing a strange red light! Inside the hatch, the blue color of the LSL solution in the rehabilitation phase was now a strange dark purple color, as if it had been contaminated by something!
Bang bang bang!
In the mist, in the turbid dark purple liquid, something seemed to be tumbling violently in the cabin! Struggling! Trying to open the hatch and rush out of the virtual cabin!
