big week bad guy

Chapter 323 Emperor Xianlong's Wishful Wishes (a super chapter of nearly 20000 words)
As different tribes moved towards Chang'an, practitioners from all sects sensed it.

Perhaps their perception is not as strong as the disciples of the academy, and they are not as capable of anticipating the enemy's opportunities as those in the Taoist sect.

But there is one thing, their ability of hindsight is still very strong.

On the premise that others have already made judgments, they can keep up closely so as not to fall too far behind.

Practitioners from various sects have adopted what they think is the most reasonable model and put on a defensive stance.

Chang'an is not only the Chang'an of the imperial court, nor the Chang'an of Taoism and academies, but the Chang'an of the people of the world.

In this case, almost everyone must express their attitude, and must clearly inform the foreign invaders that they are the real masters.

Of course, these are icing on the cake in the academy's view, not as critical as sending charcoal in a timely manner.

The Academy ultimately depends on itself.

They never believed in the so-called alliance.

Because in the eyes of everyone in the academy, there is a huge gap between the combat power of other people, including Daomen, and the academy.

How can you count on outsiders when the gap is so obvious?
Zhao Xun has been working hard to explore these days, and wants to improve his cultivation level as soon as possible.

Although he now has many masters including Zhulin Sword Immortal Yao Yan, Second Senior Sister Liu Yingying, Third Senior Brother Long Qingquan and even Senior Sister Xiao Ning as companions, but his cultivation level seems to be stuck at the fourth rank.

Although the fourth rank has already entered the ranks of high-level practitioners, Zhao Xun will definitely not be satisfied with it.

He knew that in the face of the invasion of top practitioners, the cultivation level of the fourth rank was nothing at all.

Zhao Xun didn't expect to be able to play a decisive role in this battle, but at least he couldn't drag the brothers and sisters back.

Moreover, the head of the mountain has been hiding in the dark and observing, Zhao Xun doesn't want him to be so embarrassing that he will be ashamed of the head of the mountain.

After all, Zhao Xun is also the closed disciple of the mountain chief. If his strength is too weak, the old man of the mountain chief will lose face.

"Junior brother, actually, I've always thought you're downright astonished, and your aptitude is very good. But you've been struggling to break through to the third rank, I think it's because you have too many distracting thoughts."

After examining Zhao Xun, the third senior brother Long Qingquan gave an answer that made Zhao Xun dumbfounded.

Too many distractions?

What does it mean?
Of course, Zhao Xun is very clear that practitioners should get rid of distracting thoughts.

But what are distractions?
How to get rid of distractions?

If the seven emotions and six desires are all distracting thoughts, it would be too difficult to get rid of them.

Zhao Xun is not a monk, so there is no need to get rid of all emotions and desires.

Perhaps seeing what Zhao Xun was thinking, Third Senior Brother Long Qingquan cleared his throat and coughed: "Little Junior Brother, in fact, things are not as complicated as you imagined. I think the current situation should be considered separately. You can keep the most basic emotions and desires, but you should get rid of other desires. For example, fame and fortune, you don’t value these, right, or you wouldn’t have resigned at the beginning.”

Good guy, the third senior brother simply knows himself better than Zhao Xun himself.

But who said that Zhao Xun didn't value these things at all?

He did resign, but that was a choice he had no choice but to make.

What kind of situation would Zhao Xun have faced if he had not chosen to resign?
How could Emperor Xianlong, that dog emperor who is not a son of man, easily spare Zhao Xun?
Zhao Xun's resignation was a last resort.

There is really no way to do this, if Zhao Xun does not choose to do this, he will definitely be persecuted by Emperor Xianlong.

Zhao Xun didn't expect that what kind of Mingjun he met, but for an emperor who was a man who relied on his own plot, Zhao Xun didn't have to put his bright future away, let alone his status as the son of a prince, so don't turn against the emperor, right? ?
However, Zhao Xun chose to start with the difficulty of hell, and later he killed King Wei with his hands, and he and Emperor Xianlong completely forged a beam.

In this case, no one can stand it.

It was too difficult, Zhao Xun felt that it was really too difficult.

"Ahem, let's just do what you said, third senior brother. But I feel that the situation may not be that simple. I think we should look at the problem dialectically, and don't kill him with one blow."

"Dialectics? What does dialectics mean?"

Although the third senior brother Long Qingquan knew that a few novel words would suddenly come out of the junior junior brother's mouth, he was still a little surprised.

"Uh, this dialectic, you can understand it in this way, it is to look at the problem from different angles. As the saying goes, if you look at it horizontally, you can see it as a mountain and a peak, and the distance and height are different. You don't know the true face of Lushan Mountain, just because you are in this mountain."

Zhao Xun casually dropped a line from his book bag and recited a poem.

This moment caused an uproar.

"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable, little brother. I understand, I understand. Your poem is really amazing. It looks like a mountain from a horizontal angle, and a peak from a side, with different distances and heights. Although the words are very simple, But succinct and concise can express the meaning very clearly.”

The third senior brother Long Qingquan was really convinced now.

He has always believed that the poems of his younger brother Zhao Xun are the best.

The reason why the head of the mountain insisted on accepting Zhao Xun as his disciple was probably because of this.

"But junior brother, what kind of mountain is this Mount Lu?"

The next question that Long Qingquan asked made Zhao Xun, who was finally complacent, almost spit out.

puff.

This is really throwing a question will lead to another question ah.

He was careless, he was careless, and did not change Lushan.

Naturally, the Great Zhou Dynasty he belonged to did not have Mount Lu.

According to Zhao Xun's review of classics, there is no record of Mount Lu in the Western Regions, Southern Man, or even Mobei.

So he naturally couldn't explain it seriously, otherwise he would definitely not be able to get it right.

After thinking for a while, Zhao Xun said in a deep voice: "This Mount Lu is actually a fairy mountain on the sea. It is said to exist in the land of longevity, but no one has ever seen it. I don't know if the old man of the mountain has ever seen this sacred mountain."

"It turned out to be a fairy mountain, so it's no wonder."

Sixth Senior Brother Lu Guangdou nodded frequently.

"I have traveled all over the world for so many years, and I have never heard of Mount Lu, let alone seen it. Junior Brother, you just said that Mount Lu is a fairy mountain, and that is it. Since it is a fairy mountain, it is impossible for ordinary people to easily see it. But I think Shan Chang is not an ordinary person, so it is naturally possible to see it."

"That's natural. The old man Shanzhang is a first-class strong man, and it is not difficult to see a fairy mountain."

Zhao Xun saw the Sixth Senior Brother Lu Guangdou handing him the words, so he quickly picked it up and said, "So when the mountain chief's retreat is over, we can ask what is so magical about Mount Lu."

"Let's not talk about that for now, the elf king Odysseyka recently sent someone to report that he wants to discuss with us the matter of resisting foreign enemies. I don't think it's good to leave them alone?"

Yao Yan, the Sword Immortal of the Bamboo Grove, saw that the conversation was getting farther and farther away, so he hurriedly talked back.

"Well, Yao Jianxian didn't say that we almost forgot, there is such an important thing."

"Yeah, the matter is very important, we still have to think about it carefully."

In fact, Zhao Xun's mind was running fast to weigh the pros and cons.

In Zhao Xun's view, this matter undoubtedly has advantages and disadvantages.

Li Nai can use this opportunity to deepen the relationship between the academy and the elves.

Good relationships are all created, and it is impossible to create a good relationship without doing anything.

In the past, the academy's attitude towards the elves was relatively indifferent, which directly determined the relationship between the two.

Neither an ally nor a passerby.

Zhao Xun knew that it would be very dangerous if things went on like this, because the elves would feel treated poorly, and if the elf king Odysseyka had some strange ideas, it would not be impossible for them to turn against each other.

No matter how tragic the frontal battlefield is, Zhao Xun can accept it, but he can't accept the fire in the backyard.

So as long as the elves don't stab the knife in the back, Zhao Xun can accept it even if they don't perform very well in the confrontation with the Corruptor.

"Okay, let's ask them to enter the academy to discuss defense strategies. But there is one thing to explain in advance, they can't bring too many people, as long as they are confidantes."

Although I know that the elves are unlikely to be messed up at this time, there is nothing wrong with being more prepared for everything.

"Okay, then I'll notify them."

Elf King Odysseyka had a solemn expression on his face.

The academy finally agreed to let them enter the forbidden area.

The academy has restrictions, and the elves can only enter after the academy agrees to release the restrictions.

Among them, of course, also includes the Odyssey card.

To be honest, Odysseyka was not without anger.

But he still held back.

The reason is simple, people have to bow their heads under the eaves.

They had just arrived in this world. After rushing all the way to Chang'an City, they thought that the emperor of the Great Zhou would choose to accept them, but who would have thought that they would be turned away.

Under such circumstances, Odysseyka had no choice but to lead his tribe back to the south and came to Zhongnan Mountain.

Of course, Zhongnanshan is undoubtedly Odysseyka's last hope.

If the academy does not choose to accept them, the consequences will be very serious.Odysseyka will have to face a cornered situation.

Fortunately, the academy chose to accept them in the end. Although they did not really enter the forbidden area of ​​the academy, it is very good to be able to live in Zhongnan Mountain outside the academy.

But after Odysseyka learned that the Dragon Clan was able to enter the forbidden area of ​​the academy, Odysseyka still felt uncomfortable.

Especially when Lauren, the leader of the dragon clan, was invaded by the Sea of ​​Consciousness, he rode the dark wings of the black dragon to the elves' residence to breathe out dragon flames. This anger reached its peak.

Odysseyka admits that at that point his anger was at its peak and he was close to exploding.

But Odysseyka has experienced big scenes after all. He knew that it was unusual for Lauren to go mad suddenly, and it seemed like someone was manipulating behind the scenes.

Under such circumstances, he naturally had to keep calm and not be used as a gun.

Who is this man behind the scenes?
Odyssey card does not know.

But he knew very well that this person's purpose was to drive a wedge between the Academy and the alliance of the major tribes of Alan Lore.

Once an alliance is formed, it is indestructible.

Even if the Corruptor invades, they are still capable of fighting, and can even stabilize the situation to a considerable extent and beat the enemy back home.

But when there are cracks and divisions in the alliance, it will be very scary.

This means that enemies can exploit their rifts to great effect.

In this case, no matter how powerful the tribe is, it is impossible to stabilize it.

The elves have already had a similar painful experience, and naturally they don't want to fall twice in the same place.

So Odysseyka has been restraining, as long as there is no problem that violates his principles, he can accept it theoretically.

Now he finally got his chance.

The academy chose to accept their proposal and allowed them to enter the academy for preliminary discussions and construction of the alliance.

Odysseyka is naturally very happy about this.

But at the same time, Odysseyka is also very clear that he must be able to stabilize his mind and must not show any ecstasy.

Just because the Academy has only agreed to conduct preliminary discussions, it does not mean that the alliance has been formed.

If Odysseyka is too excited, it is likely to lower his identity and posture, making the academy's performance even more aggressive.

This is unacceptable to the elves anyway.

Therefore, Odysseyka must hold his posture, even if he really wants to promote this alliance, he can't show it so clearly.

Only if he can handle it properly, can he occupy a more important position in the future alliance.

After contemplating, Odysseyka sorted out his appearance, and then took his confidants to the main entrance of the academy.

At the mountain gate of the academy, Yao Yan, the Bamboo Forest Sword Immortal, and members of the Academy Youth League had already gathered there.

According to the agreement, the Elf King Odysseyka will bring his confidants to the academy for a banquet.

It's called a banquet, but it's actually taking the opportunity of eating to discuss many matters related to the establishment of the alliance.

After all, they are people from two worlds, and in many cases have completely different understandings.

This is normal.

To reach a consensus, form a cooperation or even an alliance, many aspects need to be considered.

So they chose to give the elves this chance.

"Well, little brother, what do elves like to eat? Will they not like the hot pot we prepared?"

"That's actually a bit hard to say."

Zhao Xun thought to himself that I am not an elf, how do I know what the taste of elves is.

But as the old saying goes, guests do as they please, and when they go to the country, they do as the Romans do.

Since the elves left the continent of Alan Lore and came to Zhao Xun's world, it is a matter of course that they should adapt to the eating habits of this world, rather than let the people of this world adapt to them.

It's not good to put the cart before the horse and put the cart before the horse.

"But I think hot pot is a taste of the public. Even if they didn't try it when they were in Allen Lore Continent, they should all fall in love with it after eating it once."

In Zhao Xun's view, there is nothing in this world that can't be solved with a hot pot meal, and if there is, it will be two meals.

"Well, little brother, don't say any more, I'm already so greedy that I'm drooling."

The third senior brother Long Qingquan is undoubtedly the biggest beneficiary of Zhao Xun's hot pot invention. Compared with Malatang, the third senior brother Long Qingquan obviously prefers the taste of hot pot.

The feeling of eating while rinsing is really amazing.

Zhao Xun knew very well that at this time, he must show restraint and absolutely not drool.

Well, even in the face of such delicious food, he must be reserved.

Soon the Elf King Odysseyka appeared in front of the academy mountain gate with his confidants.

Zhao Xun took the initiative to approach him.

There is no way who told him to obtain the privilege of sharing the language with the tribes of Alan Lore.

It seems duty-bound for him to come forward to make contact.

"You are here."

Zhao Xun said lightly.

"Yes, I heard that you agreed to allow us to discuss the establishment of the alliance, so I came here without hesitation."

The Elf King Odysseyka spread his hands, showing that he was very kind.

"Very well, let's begin then."

Zhao Xun waved his hand and swiped lightly in front of him, the invisible restriction was instantly broken.

The Elf King Odysseyka was stunned by the sight in front of him. He reached out and tried to touch it, only to find that the restriction was gone.

He stepped into the mountain gate, and his followers followed closely.

"We have a habit of discussing things, and that is to do it at a banquet. This can also be regarded as a welcome banquet for us to entertain you, please don't refuse."

Zhao Xun tried his best to make his tone sound a little more friendly, so as not to make people feel very aggressive.

"Well, it's the best."

Elf King Odysseyka nodded and said, "I also want to taste your food."

Zhao Xun thought to himself that people in every world are essentially the same, they are all foodies.

Appetite is the most primitive desire of people. Only when this desire is satisfied can we think about other issues.

And if you can't even satisfy your appetite, how can you talk about ambition and power struggle?
Zhao Xun took Odysseyka and his party to the academy youth group and Yao Yan, and introduced them one by one: "Let me introduce, this is Yao Yan and Yao Jianxian, this is the senior sister of the Academy, this is the second senior sister, this This is Senior Brother Three, this is Senior Brother Six, and this is Senior Brother Ten."

Zhao Xun introduced them one by one, for fear of missing anyone.

Because he knew that it would be very rude to miss one person at this time.

"Okay, we've finished introducing everyone, let's go to dinner."

Cooking is the most important thing at any time, and Zhao Xun can't wait to eat it.

The banquet location was chosen in a pavilion in the bamboo forest.

The reason for choosing here is because it can relax people's emotions to the greatest extent.

Relaxation is very important. Only under relaxed conditions can people talk about business to the maximum extent.

Otherwise, the whole person will be in an extremely tense state, and even if they want to talk about serious matters, the effect will be very poor.

Zhao Xun knew this very well, that's why he chose the place for the banquet to be in the bamboo forest.

However, although the environment in the bamboo forest is beautiful, there is one very annoying point, that is, there are many mosquitoes.

Mosquito bites are a very annoying thing. Even a person with a good temper will lose a layer of skin if they are stared at by mosquitoes.

Practitioners are no exception.

They are still flesh and blood, no better than ordinary people.

So Zhao Xun is going to activate the protective cover again, and use the prohibition to separate the mosquitoes.

Moreover, the protective cover is still transparent, which does not affect the appreciation of the beauty of the bamboo forest by everyone in the academy and the elf guests who came from afar.

The sky is not completely dark yet, and everything you can see is green.

Can't help but make people feel refreshed and in a good mood.

"This is what I call hot pot."

After everyone was seated, Zhao Xun took the initiative to introduce to the elf guests who came from afar: "The way to eat hot pot is actually very simple. Specifically, put all the meat and vegetables in the pot to rinse. Inside is boiled water, so that the meat and vegetables are all cooked.”

Zhao Xun began to swallow while explaining.

Oh my god, although this hot pot has not been officially boiled yet, the smell of spices at the bottom of the pot has already wafted away, who can resist it.

"This hot pot looks very novel."

Odysseyka nodded, looking very curious.

He had never seen such a magical thing as a hot pot when he was on the continent of Allen Lore.Now that you see it, you must enjoy it.

"This is chopsticks. Do you know how to use chopsticks? Uh... that's not how you use them. Let me teach you."

Zhao Xun cleared his throat and said, "Hold the chopsticks like this, hold it here, yes"

He spoke very seriously, hoping that the other party could understand the essentials of using chopsticks from the very beginning.

"Oh, these chopsticks are so difficult to use."

Odysseyka tried several times, and said dumbfoundedly: "Are there no knives and forks here?"

Zhao Xun shook his head and said, "We don't use knives and forks. Chopsticks are the only dining tools here."

Odysseyka nodded and said, "Okay, I'll try again."

Although he once wanted to ask if he could get started, but after thinking about it carefully, let's forget it.

It seemed that he was too barbaric, which did not match his noble and elegant identity as the Elf King.

"Tsk tsk tsk, you're a quick learner, that's all."

Zhao Xun is still very satisfied with Odysseyka's learning ability. It is always a good thing to have such an ally.

"You try to boil the meat in the pot. It doesn't take too long, as long as the color of the meat changes, it can be fished out. The same is true for vegetables, but potatoes need to be boiled for a longer time, otherwise if you fish them If it comes out, it will be born."

Zhao Xun tried his best to explain, and Odyssey listened very carefully.

"Put the cooked dishes in this small dish, dip them in the ingredients, and then put them in a bowl to eat. Generally speaking, there are many kinds of small ingredients for hot pot, which are prepared by people according to their own taste. Since you are the first I came to eat hot pot once, and I don’t know what your taste is, so I made the small ingredients according to the taste of the most popular people, you can taste it first to see how it tastes.”

After Zhao Xun finished speaking, he couldn't hold back anymore, picked up the potatoes and poured them into the pot.

If talking about his favorite dish in shabu-shabu, it must be potatoes.

The potatoes that have been rinsed are soft and soft, and they can be turned into mud with a slight bite.The taste is absolutely perfect.

Zhao Xun couldn't help drooling when he thought of this beautiful taste.

Tut tut, it's really delicious.

"Little brother, pay attention to your image."

Seeing that Zhao Xun's saliva was about to flow down, Lu Guangdou, the sixth senior brother, carefully reminded him.

Only then did Zhao Xun suddenly realize, and quickly wiped off the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and smiled faintly at Senior Brother Six to express his gratitude.

"Well, this hot pot should be eaten while it's hot. The taste of eating it while it's hot is completely different from the taste after it's cooled."

Zhao Xun commented on how to eat the hot pot while feasting.

"Tsk tsk, it's really good. The taste is different from any dish I've eaten before, but it has a very special and attractive feeling."

Sure enough, after tasting it once, Odyssey was completely conquered by hot pot.

Don't look at it as a small hot pot, but it contains the essence of all major cuisines in terms of taste.

A mere elf from the continent of Allenlore lives in fear of being dominated by dark cuisine all day long. Let them taste the best of the world suddenly, they must not be able to bear it.

Zhao Xun tried his best to maintain an elegant dining demeanor, at least not to be at a disadvantage compared to the Elf King Odyssey Ka on the side.

Anyway, they also represent the entire oriental civilization. If they are compared, it will be unjustifiable anyway.

Tsk tsk, the taste of this tofu skin is really amazing.

The hot pot prepared by myself is really delicious.

Of course, although the delicacy and love cannot be let down, Zhao Xun still hasn't forgotten the business.

The key for them to set up this banquet is to discuss with the elves about jointly fighting against the powerful enemy Corruptor and forming an alliance.

It is an old tradition to talk about cooperation at the dinner table, at least Zhao Xun is very adaptable.

"Ahem, now that the big guy is eating, I'll just say a few words."

After a short pause, Zhao Xun said in a deep voice: "We all know that the opening of the Dark Portal allowed many tribes to travel to our world through the Dark Portal. Most of them are kind, but there are also evil ones."

Zhao Xun took a deep breath and said, "That's what you call the Corruptors. The Corruptors are made up of Demon Race and Undead Race. They are all vicious and the sharpest killers. If we want to fight against them, we must Twisted together, absolutely can not be divided internally, the backyard is on fire. So I think if you want to form a coalition, mutual trust is a must."

In Zhao Xun's opinion, since we want to talk about cooperation, we might as well talk about some things directly on the bright side.

There is absolutely no need to engage in nonsensical things, which will only make both parties jealous.

"Of course, that's what I mean. Since you want to form an alliance, you must have absolute trust. Only in this way can the alliance last forever."

Although Odysseyka also eats meat, he pays attention to manners.

Seeing that Zhao Xun took the initiative to bring up the alliance, he put down his chopsticks.

"Well, there is another point. We must be able to reasonably plan the defense zones of each tribe to ensure that everyone has their own responsibilities and will not be blind."

After a long time of experience, Zhao Xun has now mastered some essentials of being a leader.

The most important thing is that everyone's responsibilities must be allocated so that everyone can perform their duties.

"At present, there are only dragons, elves, and humans. Although these tribes are the representative tribes of Alan Lore, they are not all. Next, if dwarves, trolls, half-orcs, werewolves, and eagles can come, we will It can completely constitute a complete defense system."

When it comes to the understanding of the major tribes in the continent of Allen Lore, no one knows better than Odysseyka.

He talked about all the major tribes, and carefully analyzed the advantages of the major tribes.

"Maybe we can fight first, after all, it is impossible to wait endlessly."

Zhao Xun said with a frown.

He understood what the Elf King Odysseyka meant. Odysseyka hoped to wait until most of the tribes in the Alan Lore continent had arrived before distributing them, but it would be too late.

Zhao Xun is very clear that some things need to be rushed sooner rather than later, and it is better to do it earlier than to be caught blind later.

"That's fine. Then let me talk about what these three tribes are best at."

Odysseyka took a deep breath and said: "The elves are good at archery. The archery I refer to is not ordinary arrows, but arrows with magic. Such arrows can kill the enemy to the greatest extent after shooting. As long as they are Enemies shot by arrows will lose their ability to move, not to mention their combat effectiveness."

Zhao Xun was very satisfied.

This is the enhanced version of the archer.

It is also in line with the personality of the elves.

Archery still needs to pay attention to accuracy, and it is only suitable for the elves to complete it.

"As for the human race, their advantage is magic. There are countless human kingdoms on the continent of Allen Lore. But no matter which human kingdom they are, they all have one thing in common, that is, they have powerful magicians. Magicians are the guardians of the kingdom Or, they rely on powerful magic to repel the enemy. It is impossible for ordinary invaders to be against the magic of the magician."

"Wait a minute, but I hear there are dark wizards and witches."

Although Zhao Xun didn't want to interrupt at this time, he still felt the need to interrupt Odyssey.

Because he thinks these two pieces of information are crucial.

"Dark wizards and witches are variants of magicians."

Odysseyka nodded and explained: "In the beginning, magicians were all men. But this made some women feel very uncomfortable. They felt that they also had the talent to study magic. So later, under their continuous struggle, magic The mage group finally allows women to study magic, and their research methods are very different from those of men, and they eventually become witches on their own. Witches' spells are more eccentric, but they can often have unexpected effects."

"What about the black wizard?"

"Dark wizards are a long story. In fact, black wizards are magicians in essence. It's just a separate title for them to distinguish ordinary magicians after being blackened."

It turned out to be the case.

Hearing this, Zhao Xun basically understood.

A black wizard can roughly be understood as a blackened magician.

This is quite clear.

"This time the dark wizard should also come to your world. The ultimate goal of the dark wizard is to summon the God of Darkness. They are not the same as demons and undead, but in essence they want to use the power of darkness to fight against evil."

The elf king Odysseyka sighed: "They are extremely powerful, but they chose a wrong path. If they could be good-hearted, maybe we would not have faced such an embarrassing situation."

Zhao Xun didn't know how to answer Odysseyka's words. After hesitating for a moment, he comforted: "It's all over, this time I firmly believe that we can resist the invasion of the Corruptor."

"So in fact, the dark wizard can also be won over, right?"

Zhao Xun can still feel the helplessness in Odyssey's words.

But people should look forward to a better place, shouldn't they?
At least in Zhao Xun's view, this is not an impossible task.

Because black wizards are not the same as demons and undead.

They also summoned the God of Darkness to ward off evil.

In other words, it's a bit like magic against magic.
"That's hard to say."

The elf king Odysseyka spread his hands and said, "The situation is very complicated, at least in my opinion. It is not that simple to win them over, or it would be useless if so many kings worked together."

Since the black wizard has betrayed the group of magicians, it is natural not to think about it with common sense.

They are actually more like a group of deviant teenagers, and it takes a lot of patience to get them to join.

Can Zhao Xun and the others provide so much patience?
It would be no problem if it was usual, but the situation is a little different now.

The enemy is approaching, and everyone is under great pressure.

If Zhao Xun wants to win over the group of black wizards, he must bear great pressure.

Especially from the academy.

You must know that the head of the mountain had fought with the High Priest of the Demon Sect and the group of black wizards after entering the void space.

The head of the mountain was careless, and suffered a dark loss from being caught by these guys.

If Zhao Xun, a disciple of the head of the mountain, took the initiative to befriend the ally of the high priest of the Demon Sect at this time, why would it be unreasonable?

"Forget it, since that's the case, let's use our existing strength to fight against the invaders."

Zhao Xun thought about it carefully, and finally made a decision after weighing the pros and cons.

"I just talked about the human race and the elf race, and the dragon race is next. As the name suggests, the dragon race is named after being able to tame the dragon. Their blood seems to be connected with the dragon, so the dragon can understand what they say."

After a short pause, Odysseyka, the Elf King, continued: "It's just that the number of giant dragons is getting smaller and smaller, so that they wither away. In this case, every dragon warrior and every dragon is worth a lot. precious."

"So they have to be used when it matters most, right?"

Zhao Xun still understands it very well.

With the current combat power of everyone, it can only be said that they can barely defend against the invasion of the Corruptor. To completely defeat the opponent requires a big killer.

What is this big killer?
The dragon's dragon flame is naturally the best choice.

"That's right. The dragon is against the Corruptor. Neither the demons nor the undead are the opponents of the dragon. Especially the undead, the dragon flame can directly turn their bones into ashes. The first thing to do after Er Dalu is to kill the reason of the Dragon Clan."

Elf King Odysseyka said very seriously.

"But the Dragon Clan survived tenaciously, right?"

"good."

The Elf King Odysseyka said with emotion: "I didn't expect their resilience to be so strong. This is simply incredible. Or the dragon's desire to win makes them calm when facing strong enemies. But that's the case The strength of their tribe is still seriously damaged, so I will say that every giant dragon of the Dragon Clan is very precious now."

Zhao Xun believed in the judgment of the Elf King Odysseyka.

Because he believes that Odysseyka will be able to recognize the reality at the critical moment of the life and death of the entire tribe, and will not make any unfair evaluation of the Dragon Clan.

"Well, it seems that I have to have a good talk with Lauren."

Zhao Xun knew exactly what this meant.

A strong person like Lauren should have strong self-esteem.

No one can hurt his self-esteem, not even the Academy.

Otherwise, he will be stressed and will do very impulsive things.

Of course, Zhao Xun didn't want to see such a scene, so he tried his best to persuade Luo Lun to make him realize the seriousness of the current situation, so that he could stand up and take on the heavy responsibility of this big killer. .

This banquet is still very effective.

At least Zhao Xun learned about the specialties of dragons, humans, and elves, and reached a consensus with the elf king Odysseyka.

The next step is to see how the actual combat effect is.

Master Huiyan, who returned to the palace, was not idle, but was using the secret techniques of Buddhism in the Western Regions to draw a large formation.

This array is based on Chang'an City, and can spread to a full radius of a hundred miles.

Such a huge area can naturally cover Zhongnan Mountain.

Of course, the big formation itself can't have too much influence on Zhongnanshan.

But as long as the invaders from Allen Lore invade Zhongnan Mountain and destroy Zhongnan Mountain's feng shui and defense system, Master Huiyan will have a chance.

This is an alternative plan after he failed to invade the dragon leader Luo Lun's Sea of ​​Consciousness.

Facts have proved that everyone in the academy is still very vigilant, and immediately discovered the strangeness of Lauren and started to investigate.

What surprised Master Huiyan even more was that there was actually a fifth great master besides Shan Zhang, Yuan Tiangang, Zheng Jie, and himself hidden in Chang'an City.

There are more than ten great masters in the world at most, but Chang'an City has gathered half of them.

Master Huiyan didn't know what to say.

Of course, this also made him faintly excited.

The more chaotic the situation, the more confusing the situation, the more excited Master Huiyan will be.

Because he prefers chaos to that kind of clear confrontation.

The chaos gave him the opportunity to enter the field behind, and the chaos also gave him the possibility to make a big fuss by taking advantage of the enemy's contradictions.

Strictly speaking, Master Huiyan himself is an opportunist.

The reason why he chose to come to Chang'an at the beginning was because he saw that there would be a shocking battle in Chang'an.

As for Emperor Xianlong's invitation and respect, that was only a small part of the factors, not decisive.

Of course, Master Huiyan's selfishness is still there.

If it can help the Buddhism of the Western Regions to grow and help the Buddhism of the Western Regions to take root in the Central Plains, that would be great.

Master Huiyan hoped to see this day come, and he firmly believed that he would be able to see this day in his life.

This battle should be the turning point. If everything can be carried out according to his arrangement, it won't take long for the Buddhist sect of the Western Regions to completely replace the Taoist sect and become the most prosperous existence in the Central Plains Dynasty.

At that time, everyone will remember his name, because he is the pioneer and founder of Buddhism in the Central Plains in the Western Regions.

Without him, there would be no Buddhism in the Western Regions.

Master Huiyan even thought that his golden body would be permanently molded in the major Buddhist temples in the Central Plains and worshiped by believers.

Master Huiyan thinks it would be great if he could leave his name through the ages in such a way.

"Master Huiyan, Your Majesty invites you to give a lecture."

At this moment, Master Huiyan heard the voice of the very familiar little eunuch again.

"Okay, the poor monk knows."

Master Huiyan got up and went to the bronze mirror to wash his face.

Although he was used to giving lectures to Emperor Xianlong these days, he still felt a little bored from time to time.

Probably because Xianyun Yehe was used to being free in the past, and he couldn't adapt to being so restrained.

But Master Huiyan is already forcing himself to adapt. After all, since he has made the decision to stay in Chang'an for a long time, it is impossible for him to let himself live like before.

Master Huiyan, who had finished washing soon, walked to the entrance of the hall.

"Why did Your Majesty suddenly ask the poor monk to give lectures today?"

Although he knew that Emperor Xianlong had the habit of staying up late, it was too late today.

In the middle of the night, did Emperor Xianlong have any weird ideas?
"This servant doesn't know."

The little eunuch said with a bitter face: "The affairs of the masters are not for us as slaves to intervene. We are just here to pass on a message, and I hope you can understand."

"Of course."

Master Huiyan nodded slightly, and said with a smile, "Let's go now."

Shanglin Garden and Daming Palace are next to each other in the north.

The reason why Emperor Xianlong chose to arrange Master Huiyan to live here was mainly because of the proximity and convenience.

In this way, whenever Emperor Xianlong wanted to listen to Master Huiyan's lectures, Master Huiyan could arrive at the first time.

It is certain that no adult male can live in the Daming Palace.

Although Master Huiyan is a monk, he has to be on his guard.

The purity of royal blood cannot be tarnished in any way.

"Master Huiyan, be careful."

The little eunuch walked in front holding the lamp, and Master Huiyan followed behind with small steps.

The two have cooperated like this more than a dozen times, and they are already very familiar with each other.

So Master Huiyan didn't say much, and let the little eunuch lead the way.

After about a stick of incense, they entered Daming Palace and headed straight for Zichen Palace.

Shanglin Court is very large, and Daming Palace is several times the size of Shanglin Court.

Even though he has entered the palace many times, Master Huiyan still hasn't visited every corner of Daming Palace.

The main reason is that every time he enters the palace, he lectures to the emperor, and his actions are greatly restricted.

If there were no extremely special circumstances, he would not have stayed in the palace for too long.

Master Huiyan himself didn't have any thoughts about the emperor's family, so he avoided suspicion if he could, and tried not to give people the opportunity to criticize and chew his tongue.

After about another stick of incense, they arrived in front of Zichen Hall.

After being passed on by the little eunuch, Master Huiyan climbed up the steps and soon came to the front of the main hall.

The hall is filled with high-quality ambergris, which can be smelled from a distance.

Master Huiyan originally could not smell ambergris, but recently he has adapted to the smell of this fragrance.

Master Huiyan took a deep breath and walked into the hall.

He knew that Emperor Xianlong usually sat in meditation in the Nuan Pavilion of the main hall, so he walked towards the Nuan Pavilion without hesitation.

Before the Nuan Pavilion, there is a huge floor-to-ceiling screen, which is used to block the Nuan Pavilion and the outer hall.

In this way, foreign ministers, including eunuchs, who want to meet the holy man have to ask through the screen first, and only enter the warm pavilion after getting the emperor's permission, so as not to bump into the holy car because of recklessness.

Of course, Master Huiyan and Emperor Xianlong have known each other for a long time.

But even so, Master Huiyan asked as much as possible.

"Your Majesty, the poor monk came to see you."

"come in."

After about ten breaths of time, Emperor Xianlong's thick voice sounded.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Master Huiyan nodded, then walked into the Nuan Pavilion.

Sure enough, Emperor Xianlong was sitting in meditation at the moment.

"Your Majesty has made great achievements recently?"

"Saint Monk, don't tease me anymore. I'm just sitting in meditation to recuperate my body."

Emperor Xianlong smiled bitterly and said, "It's just that I feel more and more tired recently, so I want to ask the holy monk what is the reason."

"Oh, I almost forgot, holy monk, sit down quickly."

Now Emperor Xianlong has not been in court for more than a month, not only the usual small court meeting, but also the big court meeting on the first and fifteenth day of every month.

As a result, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty naturally complained.

Some people even directly pointed the finger at Master Huiyan, thinking that it was this monstrous monk from the Western Regions who was bewitching the Lord.

Emperor Xianlong certainly didn't think so.

He and Master Huiyan are getting along very well now, thanks to Master Huiyan, Emperor Xianlong is no longer afraid of the academy and the head of the mountain as he used to.

Emperor Xianlong managed to hug such a thick thigh, so it was naturally impossible for him to let go easily.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Master Huiyan sat down not far from Emperor Xianlong, then bowed and asked, "Your Majesty, do you feel uncomfortable?"

"There will be some pain in the forehead, and some weakness in the limbs. I always feel that I can't use my strength anywhere."

Emperor Xianlong rubbed his forehead and said, "It's like the feeling of sleepiness."

Master Huiyan nodded and said, "That's it. Your Majesty should be on the way to breaking the barrier, and he may become a practitioner at any time."

"Really?"

Hearing this, Emperor Xianlong was ecstatic for a moment.

He couldn't believe his ears.

For a moment he didn't feel sleepy anymore.

"Of course it is true. Your Majesty is about to enter the ranks of the ninth rank. Congratulations, Your Majesty."

As a super master, Master Huiyan certainly can't make a mistake.

But saying such words from the mouth of a supreme powerhouse like him makes people feel a sense of sarcasm.

Emperor Xianlong was indeed embarrassed.

He coughed and said, "Master Huiyan, there is actually nothing to celebrate about this matter. I just passed this threshold and became a ninth-rank cultivator. What is there to celebrate? What's more, it's still in front of Master Huiyan."

Emperor Xianlong still wanted face.

"Your Majesty's words are wrong. Your Majesty is different from ordinary people. It is nothing for ordinary people to enter the ninth rank. That is because they can only rely on their own strength. So their ninth rank is just the ninth rank. But your majesty Otherwise, your majesty is the Son of Heaven, the king of a country. His majesty can decide the life and death of thousands of people, and his majesty can change the fate of the entire family and country with one word. Therefore, your majesty's ninth rank is equivalent to the first rank of ordinary people."

Master Huiyan knew that Emperor Xianlong liked to listen to good things, so he deliberately wove such a lie.

It stands to reason that this lie is full of loopholes and illogical.

But Emperor Xianlong really believed it.

"Really? My ninth grade is equal to the first grade of ordinary people?"

"Yes. Your Majesty, if you can enter the eighth rank one day, you will be in the realm of a great master."

Master Huiyan was afraid that Emperor Xianlong would be dissatisfied, so he continued.

Gee
Emperor Xianlong's heart is full of joy now.

Although it is a big leap from the ninth rank to the eighth rank, if he achieves this, it is equivalent to an ordinary person becoming a super master.

Emperor Xianlong's health has never been very good, which has a lot to do with his obsession with sex and lack of exercise.

Therefore, Emperor Xianlong has never been interested in martial arts cultivation.

Because he knows he is not that material.

But now, Master Huiyan told him that not only was he the material, but it was also easier to approach the realm of a great master than ordinary people.How could Emperor Xianlong not like it?

Emperor Xianlong was not only very happy, but also ecstatic!
In an instant he was interested.

"Holy Monk, how can I reach the super-grade realm?"

"Your Majesty only needs to study the Dharma every day, and then apply what you have learned. In time, you will surely succeed."

Master Huiyan did not give a specific time for Emperor Xianlong, mainly because Emperor Xianlong's aptitude was really poor.

If he rashly made a promise to Emperor Xianlong, Emperor Xianlong would not be able to complete the breakthrough when the time came, and Master Huiyan would have to take the blame.

So instead of that, it's better to say something false.

That way at least there is room for interpretation.

Of course, Emperor Xianlong was unaware of Master Huiyan's careful thinking, and nodded in satisfaction: "It's so good, it's so good. Hahaha, I never thought that I would be able to reach the super-level state one day. It must be It is the protection of the ancestors, the protection of the ancestors. If I can reach the super-grade state, I will be afraid of the mountain leader and the academy. At that time, I will definitely trample them under my feet and humiliate them. And that Zhao Xun , he dared to talk to me like this relying on the favor of the head of the mountain, I will definitely skin him and make him a human pig!"

Hearing Emperor Xianlong's cruel words, Master Huiyan didn't make any waves.

Because he was convinced that Emperor Xianlong was really just talking harshly.

Regardless of what Master Huiyan lied to him, even if what Master Huiyan said is true, even if Emperor Xianlong can really reach the realm of a super master, it is impossible for him to step on the head of the mountain! .

Who gave him the courage and confidence?

Even Master Huiyan himself only has the possibility to compete with the head of the mountain, and he dare not say that he can firmly step on the head of the mountain.

Of course, Master Huiyan would not spoil Emperor Xianlong's interest at such a time.

Because he knew very well that Emperor Xianlong needed this kind of satisfaction very much at this moment.

"Your Majesty, it is important to practice Buddhist spells, but it is also important to regulate the breath. If the breath is disordered, it will be futile even if you practice well."

Master Huiyan's next sentence was to cool Emperor Xianlong down.

Seeing that Emperor Xianlong was so excited, he was embarrassed to directly attack Emperor Xianlong's enthusiasm, but he also wanted to let Emperor Xianlong understand that his strength is far from meeting expectations.

"Ah, what should I do?"

"Regulating the breath is the secret of Taoism, and the poor monk doesn't know how to do it."

Master Huiyan's move can be said to be playing hard to get.

He knew that Emperor Xianlong would be displeased when he heard this, but he still wanted to say it.

"Daomen?"

Sure enough, Emperor Xianlong raised his eyebrows very displeased after hearing the word Taoism: "What does Taoism have to do with me? How have I treated Yuan Tiangang these years? He is the national teacher. I didn’t feel sorry for him, did I? But how did he do it? How did he treat me? He even hid when I needed him the most. When I needed him to deal with the head of the mountain, he found all kinds of At this time, I hope to make a big breakthrough, but I want to ask him how to adjust his breath? I can’t do it.”

Everyone wants face, and Emperor Xianlong is no exception.

And as a king, sometimes Emperor Xianlong would care more about these things.

Seeing that his goal was basically achieved, Master Huiyan put his hands together and said, "Goodness, goodness, the poor monk just suggested that your majesty ask the Taoists about the method of regulating breath, after all, they are better at it. But if your majesty insists on not willing, the poor monk still has something A solution."

"Oh? Holy monk, tell me quickly."

"The Wufu system is also good at this."

Master Huiyan said before that Buddhism is not proficient in this way, so it is impossible for him to slap himself in the face.

So he chose to launch the Wufu system to block arrows.

It turns out this works pretty well.

Emperor Xianlong really became interested, and asked: "Warfu system, do you mean Feng Hao's Wufu system?"

"Of course."

Master Huiyan nodded and said: "General Feng has now been promoted to the realm of a first-rank Martial God, which can be said to be the pinnacle of martial arts. Your Majesty only needs to summon General Feng to the palace and ask him for advice."

"First rank? Feng Hao has already been promoted to first rank? When did it happen? Why didn't I know?"

Emperor Xianlong was stunned, completely unaware that Feng Hao had been promoted to the first rank.

This was indeed beyond his expectation.

"It should be the most recent thing. Maybe it was after he killed the leader of the Nanman witches and Gu masters in Jiannan Road, or when he was ordered to go to Jiangnan Road to put down the monster rebellion."

Master Huiyan smiled slightly, and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, all of this is determined, and as far as the poor monk knows, even General Feng himself may not know."

"Uh"

Emperor Xianlong was really completely dumbfounded now.

In his opinion, Feng Hao is absolutely loyal to him and to the royal family.

So it is impossible for Feng Hao to lie to him.

If Feng Hao really knew that he had been promoted from a second-rank Martial Saint to a first-rank Martial God, then he would explain the situation to Emperor Xianlong no matter what.

But Feng Hao didn't say anything.

Therefore, Emperor Xianlong concluded that Feng Hao should have no knowledge.

"Well, if that's the case, it's good news."

Anyway, Feng Hao has done a lot for Emperor Xianlong for so many years.

So Emperor Xianlong was still willing to choose to trust Feng Hao at the critical moment.

Especially now that the relationship between Emperor Xianlong and Zheng Jie has dropped to a freezing point.

At this time, if Emperor Xianlong chooses to use Feng Hao, it is undoubtedly a good choice.

"Well, I will summon Feng Hao into the palace, and I hope he can appreciate my good intentions."

Recently, Emperor Xianlong has indeed neglected Feng Hao a bit.Taking this opportunity to show favor to Feng Hao should be able to win over Feng Hao.

"Your Majesty is wise."

Zheng Jie sent another flattery, which made Emperor Xianlong feel ecstatic.

Emperor Xianlong stroked his beard and said with a smile: "With the help of the holy monk, my luck has returned. It seems that God blesses Zhou, and God blesses me."

Feng Hao never thought that the emperor would choose to summon him at this time.

Everything happened so suddenly, Feng Hao was not prepared at all.

Most importantly, what does entering the palace mean at this time?
Feng Hao knew very well that Emperor Xianlong was not an emperor who liked to chat with his courtiers for no reason.

There is only one possibility that Emperor Xianlong chose to summon him at this time, and that was to defend against alien invasion.

In fact, this was also the main reason why Emperor Xianlong urgently called all his ministries back to Beijing.

But after Feng Hao and others returned to Beijing, they did not see Emperor Xianlong's face, so that Feng Hao once wondered whether Emperor Xianlong was held hostage by the demon monk Huiyan.

After all, only Master Huiyan was able to see Emperor Xianlong during this time, and only Master Huiyan deliberately exerted influence on Emperor Xianlong.

It was natural under such circumstances, and he had a reason that Master Huiyan had posed a threat to Emperor Xianlong.

Feng Hao even teamed up with Zheng Jie to investigate Master Huiyan at one point, turning his background upside down.

After the investigation of the two, it can be basically confirmed that Master Huiyan is the super master of Buddhism in the Western Regions.

In this way, they are more qualified to suspect that the demon monk has bewitched Emperor Xianlong, which will cause a great change in Emperor Xianlong's behavior.

Just when Feng Hao wanted to take action, Emperor Xianlong actually chose to summon him.

In this case, Feng Hao was naturally very happy.

No matter what his considerations were, he still wanted to take a look at the current state of Emperor Xianlong to ensure that the emperor was safe.

Since he entered the palace overnight, Feng Hao didn't even have time to take a bath and change clothes.

After washing up hastily, he rode out of the mansion and headed towards Daming Palace.

It is a taboo for military generals to enter the palace late at night, and it is easy to arouse the suspicion of the emperor.

But Feng Hao was personally summoned by Emperor Xianlong to enter the palace, so there is no need to worry about this.

But it is said that after Feng Hao entered the palace, under the guidance of the eunuch, he rushed all the way to the Zichen Palace.

Although his martial arts cultivation is extremely high, he can't show it at all under the suppression of the imperial palace.

And Feng Hao didn't want to be so high-profile.

After about a stick of incense, Feng Hao was brought to the main hall of Zichen Hall.

When the little official went to report, Feng Hao stood in front of the steps in front of the main hall, carefully arranging his appearance.

Disrespect in front of the imperial court is a serious crime, and Feng Hao obviously would not make such an obvious mistake.

So he checked his demeanor again and again to make sure there was nothing out of the ordinary, and then he was a little relieved.

After about a cup of tea, the little eunuch went back and forth, and said to Feng Hao in a harmonious voice: "Master Feng, Your Majesty announces your audience."

Feng Hao keenly grasped the change of this appellation.

The little eunuch called him Lord Feng, not General Feng.

This change is enough to explain the change in the emperor's attitude towards him.

Outside, Feng Hao is the general who conquers the South with a heavy army in his hand.

But in Chang'an City, Feng Hao is just a bad guy.

Although bad commanders also have military power, they are not in the same breath as generals who easily control tens of thousands of troops.

Feng Hao could clearly feel this sense of gap.

But there is no way, everything he has obtained now is given to him by Emperor Xianlong.

If Emperor Xianlong could give it to him, he would naturally be able to take it back.

All Feng Hao can do is to accept it all.

"Thank you father-in-law."

Feng Hao nodded slightly at the little eunuch to express his gratitude, and then walked into the main hall.

As the emperor's minion, Feng Hao, who is not handsome, can't remember how many times he has stepped into the Zichen Palace.

Unlike those civil servants in the court, Feng Hao has always appeared as a low-key concealer.

His existence is like a shadow of Emperor Xianlong.

He would be high-profile when Emperor Xianlong needed him, and Feng Hao would be low-key when Emperor Xianlong didn't need him, and even lost his sense of presence in a low-key manner.

Feng Hao has long been used to this method, and will not have any complaints because of it.

"Your Majesty, the commander-in-chief Feng Hao pays his respects to His Majesty."

After arriving at the Nuan Pavilion, Feng Hao made a big gift by pushing the Jinshan down the jade pillar.

"Get up."

Emperor Xianlong's voice was still as majestic as ever.This majesty gave Feng Hao a sense of security.

He hasn't had this sense of security for a long time.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Feng Hao got up quickly, but still seemed a little restrained.

"Feng Aiqing, do you know why I called you here today?"

"I don't know."

Feng Hao really didn't know.And based on his understanding of Emperor Xianlong, even if he knew, he would have to say he didn't know.

Sure enough, Emperor Xianlong then nodded and said: "I heard that you have entered the realm of first-rank Martial God, is there such a thing?"

Feng Hao's heart skipped a beat.

He said almost instinctively: "I don't know, where did His Majesty get the news?"

"You don't need to ask about this, I just ask you, is there any such thing?"

Emperor Xianlong obviously didn't intend to give Feng Hao the opportunity to ask the bottom line, but asked directly.

"I really don't know."

No practitioner knows himself better than himself.

Feng Hao really didn't know that he had already reached the realm of first-rank Martial God.

In the Battle of Jinguan City in Jiannan Road, Feng Hao really did his best to fight against the powerful leader of the Nanman witches and Gu masters.But even so, Feng Hao only sacrificed the second-rank summoning martial saint and performed the unique skill of soul fusion, which did not reach the first-rank.Could it be that there was a breakthrough in the realm afterwards?

It shouldn't be, if this is the case, Feng Hao should also be aware of it, it is impossible not to feel it at all.

Where did His Majesty know about it?

Zheng Jie?

impossible.

This idea was rejected by Feng Hao as soon as it came out.

Because Feng Hao knew very well that Zheng Jie was his closest ally now, and it was impossible for such an ally to betray him.

What's more, this is something that even Feng Hao himself doesn't know.

If it wasn't Zheng Jie, could it be Yuan Tiangang?
This Taoist celestial master is best at observing the mind, and can see what is thinking in other people's minds.

But hasn't Yuan Tiangang been hiding in the Qin Tianjian recently, and even refused the emperor's summons on the grounds of practicing behind closed doors. Feng Hao thinks that it is not very likely that it is Yuan Tiangang.

If it wasn't Yuan Tiangang, who else could it be?
After much deliberation, Feng Hao couldn't think of an answer.

Is it not.
Suddenly a name flashed in Feng Hao's mind.

Could it be that demon monk from the Western Regions?

It's not Zheng Jie, it's not Yuan Tiangang, and it's even more impossible to be the head of the mountain.

In the entire Chang'an city, the only person with such supernatural powers is the Western Regions monk.

Thinking of this, Feng Hao felt extremely resentful.

Sure enough, this monster monk from the Western Regions is still bewitching the emperor here.

He must find a chance to eradicate it.

But it is definitely impossible to rely on him alone, and he must join forces with Zheng Jie to have a chance.

"Don't know?"

Emperor Xianlong's expression immediately dropped when he heard the words.

"Do you think I'm a three-year-old child, and I'm so easy to deceive?"

"Your Majesty, I dare not."

Feng Hao paused quickly.

From the beginning to the end, Emperor Xianlong did not ask Feng Hao to get up, so Feng Hao naturally did not dare to get up.

"That's it."

There was a sense of impatience in Emperor Xianlong's tone.

He flicked his sleeves and said: "I also heard from an expert that if you really don't know, I don't blame you. But no matter what, your reaching the first-rank realm will be beneficial to the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty and to me. Harmful."

After a short pause, Emperor Xianlong continued: "What I want to know now is how to adjust the breath through the unique means of the martial arts system, so that I can make a breakthrough and enter the eighth-rank realm."

Um?What does His Majesty mean by this?
Having just recovered from the trembling state, Feng Hao was a little dazed.

Through the martial arts system's unique adjustment status, promoted from ninth rank to eighth rank?

Why does it sound like His Majesty is practicing himself?

Because if His Majesty was not practicing himself, he would not have asked such detailed questions.

"Your Majesty, this method is as simple as it is simple, and as difficult as it is difficult. It is marrow washing."

Feng Hao knew that he didn't have much time to think.

There is not much time left for him, he must answer Emperor Xianlong's question as soon as possible.

Once time drags on for a long time, Emperor Xianlong will not have a good face.

"Wash the marrow?"

Emperor Xianlong raised his eyebrows and said, "Is this method a little too rough?"

Although Emperor Xianlong is the king of a country, he rarely pays attention to the affairs of practitioners, but it does not mean that he is ignorant of the affairs of practitioners.

In fact, Emperor Xianlong knew how Wufu improved his cultivation.

Marrow washing is the simplest and most effective method for basic martial arts to stabilize or improve one's realm.

By washing the marrow with medicinal wine, a certain breakthrough can be achieved in the realm.

But what does this have to do with conditioning the breath?
"Can you also rely on medicinal baths to regulate breath?"

"Reporting to His Majesty, it can be done."

Feng Hao patiently explained: "The so-called breath is nothing more than the vitality in the body. The vitality can be affected by the external environment. And the medicinal bath is the most direct external environment."

Feng Hao said with gestures while talking: "Your Majesty, please look, this is the external environment, and this is the vitality in the body. The external environment can penetrate into the body and affect the true energy in the body. If everything goes well, It's not that difficult. It's just that the method of influence is very simple and rude, and if the innate body of the practitioner is not very good, it is easy to be damaged."

"If I want to use it, how effective will it be?"

"Your Majesty. Your Majesty wants to practice?"

Although Feng Hao basically guessed Emperor Xianlong's intentions, he was still a little surprised when he heard it.

"What, can't you?"

Emperor Xianlong was very dissatisfied with Feng Hao's attitude.

He could clearly feel Feng Hao's doubts.

As a courtier, how could he question his father's behavior at will?
In other words, Emperor Xianlong is the king, and any decision he makes is due.

What a subject has to do is to share the king's worries and relieve the king's worries as much as possible.

That's it.

"I don't mean that."

Feng Hao could feel Emperor Xianlong's anger and the killing intent hidden behind the anger.

So he expressed his position immediately, showing that he did not question the emperor's intention.

"Hmph, I just said that someone from an expert pointed me out, saying that I have a very good foundation and bones, and that I am a genius in cultivation. I have been managing state affairs for these years and have not focused on cultivation, but it doesn't mean that I can't do it. For this reason, you Do you understand?"

Emperor Xianlong's domineering look made Feng Hao speechless for a while.

What can he say?
Emperor Xianlong has said everything to this point, what else can he do but choose to agree?
Whenever he throws out a different opinion, I'm afraid it will arouse Emperor Xianlong's wrath, right?

It is said that it is difficult to be a king, but isn't it even more difficult to be a courtier?

"I understand"

Feng Hao knew that at this time he had no other choice but to choose to be docile.

"It's good that you understand. Let me ask you, is this medicinal bath difficult to handle?"

Emperor Xianlong didn't have any intention of hiding anything, and said straightforwardly: "I'm going to wash my marrow now."

hiss.
Feng Hao gasped when he heard the words.

For Emperor Xianlong, this was a bit too straightforward.

"Yes, there is, but Your Majesty, will this be too sudden?"

Bad people's yamen is a place where martial arts masters gather, so naturally there is no shortage of medicinal wine for washing the marrow.

When Zhao Xun entered the bad man's yamen, it was Jia Xingwen who washed his marrow with medicine and wine, and successfully brought Zhao Xun into the martial arts system.

Later, Zhao Xun made major breakthroughs in Confucianism and Taoism along the way, but it was another matter.

"This is not something you should care about. I order you to quickly send the medicinal wine into the palace, and I will wash the marrow immediately."

Although Emperor Xianlong has now reached the ninth rank of Wufu, he still can't wait to make a further breakthrough.

According to Master Huiyan, the ninth rank of the Son of Heaven is equivalent to the first rank of the common people, and the eighth rank of the Son of Heaven is equivalent to the super rank of the common people.

If Emperor Xianlong can successfully cleanse his marrow and reach the eighth-rank realm, then he is the well-deserved No.1 in the world.

He is the only one who has reached the realm of a super master with the identity of a king since ancient times, right?

If he really succeeds, he will surely leave his name in history and become an emperor through the ages!
Emperor Xianlong felt extremely excited.

"Subordinate to the order"

Feng Hao knew that his arms couldn't hold back his thighs.

Now he can only choose to respond first for the time being.

Stabilize Emperor Xianlong first, and discuss with Zheng Jie after he leaves the palace to see what to do next.

"Forget it, you go to prepare first, I hope to wash the marrow tomorrow."

Emperor Xianlong was obviously a little impatient with Feng Hao, and waved his hand to signal Feng Hao to kneel down.

Feng Hao also tactfully kowtowed and left the Nuan Pavilion.

When leaving the Zichen Palace, Feng Hao clearly felt that there was a master hidden in the Zichen Palace.

The aura of this master was so strong that Feng Hao was able to catch it all at once.

Obviously, this master didn't mean to hide his aura.

Because for a master of this level, as long as he is willing, he can definitely hide his breath well.

This shows two points, one is that the other party is not afraid of being discovered.

Second, the other party obviously did it for Feng Hao to see.

He just wanted to let Feng Hao know that he was hiding in the dark.

Obviously this person is Master Huiyan.

Feng Hao felt a lot of pressure for a while.

Now Emperor Xianlong seems to be a different person, probably thanks to this monster monk from the Western Regions.

It seems that it is time to discuss with Zheng Gong how to get rid of it.

Compared with a few days ago, Zhongnan Mountain is much more lively today.

Because the dwarves have also arrived here.

The leader of the dwarves, Jielin, expressed his desire to settle in the academy at the first time.

As usual, it was Zhao Xun who made the contact.

Zhao Xun is a very realistic person, he knows the truth of many friends, many paths, and many enemies, many walls.

So he will try his best to make friends with any possible forces, and make plans and plans for future wars.

Zhao Xun has never seen dwarves before, and only has some superficial knowledge and understanding of this magical ethnic group in novels and games.

So much so that when he saw these dexterous little guys, he was amazed at their agility.

Jielin, the leader of the dwarves, is only slightly more than half the height of Zhao Xun, so that Zhao Xun has been looking at Jielin almost condescendingly.

Although Zhao Xun really didn't want to do this, there was no other way, this was the reality.

"Do you still have clansmen in the Alan Lore continent?"

After routinely asking a few questions, Zhao Xun wanted to have a deeper understanding of the dwarves who were about to settle in.

"There is another part, they are basically stationed in the castle, but if the Corruptor invades, I don't think they can last too long."

When talking about this matter, Jaylin seemed somewhat disappointed.

"I dissuaded them at the time, hoping that they could go with us. But they were too conservative and unwilling to give up everything they had gained. They thought it would be a good choice to continue to live a comfortable life in the castle, but they didn't know that It's a slow death."

Jie Lin had a very clear judgment on the situation. He cleared his throat and said, "We have been able to hold the last fortress all along, not because of how sharp our firearms are. Of course, this played a part, but only a small part of it. Part of it, the most fundamental reason is that our allies restrained the Corruptor, which made the demons and the undead race fearful, and dared not devote all their forces to attack us."

Zhao Xun nodded. It is not easy for people to recognize their own strength.

The leader of the dwarves has done a good job in this regard.

"So you think it's only a matter of time before the castle falls, and you brought your people to our world through the portal of darkness?"

"Yes."

Jielin said seriously: "When I learned that the portal of darkness was about to open, I led my people in this direction. Because no one knows how long the portal of darkness will last, and no one knows Under such circumstances, can we successfully send all the clansmen to the new world? I want to be responsible for my clansman, so I must hurry up sooner rather than later. If I go earlier, there is more or less room for error. If I go late, it may really be too late gone."

Jielin's attitude made Zhao Xun admire.

Unexpectedly, there is so much energy hidden in Jielin's small body.

"So what's your relationship with the other tribes? Well, I mean most of the tribes."

Zhao Xun thought to himself that dwarves should be the type of inviolability, right?There should be basically no intersection between their territory and other tribes. It should be quiet and peaceful, right?

"Relationship with other tribes?"

Hearing this, Jelin laughed: "I can only say that the difference is not bad. I firmly believe that there are no permanent enemies in this world, only permanent interests. The same is true for allies, so the relationship between dwarves and other tribes has always been Very peaceful, no enemies, no buddies."

Well, this answer was within Zhao Xun's expectation.

"Presumably you should also know that the Corruptor is also invading our world through the Dark Portal. You are not the first tribe to arrive in this world, and certainly not the last. Now humans, elves, and dragons have all arrived In our world, we want to form an alliance. So if you choose to settle in, you have to make it clear that you are willing to form an alliance."

Zhao Xun felt that instead of having conflicts afterwards, it would be better to speak clearly from the beginning.

At least in this way, both parties can understand what they care about, and there will be no conflicts.

Sure enough, the dwarf leader Jelin was silent.

Zhao Xun did not force him, but left him enough time to think.

Jelin needs time to think.

Because he represented not only himself, but the entire dwarf tribe.

Of course Zhao Xun hoped that the dwarves could join in and become a member of the academy's powerful alliance.

But if the dwarves can't accept peaceful coexistence with other tribes and advance and retreat together, then Zhao Xun has no choice.

After about a cup of tea, Jielin said in a deep voice: "I agree to form an alliance with you. But there is one thing, I want to guarantee that my clan and I will get a place that belongs to us alone in Zhongnan Mountain , cannot be interfered by other tribes.”

"This is simple, as long as you are willing to form an alliance, I can guarantee it."

Seeing Jielin let go, Zhao Xun heaved a long sigh of relief.

The fact that the dwarves can join the alliance will give the academy another trump card.

The dwarf musketeer is very powerful, no less than the dragon flame of the dragon clan.

Although the dragons are powerful, they are few in number.

But the dwarf musketeers are different. When hundreds of dwarf musketeers line up to shoot, the lethality is enough to shock the enemy.

Even demons and undead have to be cautious when facing magical muskets, bows and arrows.

"Okay, deal!"

After receiving the guarantee, Jielin also extended a hand very happily.

Zhao Xun naturally stretched out his hand, but he found that the leader of the dwarves, Jielin, was so short that Zhao Xun was able to shake hands with him directly.

Zhao Xun had to bend down to barely shake hands with Jielin.

Man, this is exhausting.

"Next, I'll take you around Zhongnan Mountain. You can choose a place to live in. The academy can't accommodate so many people for the time being. Please forgive me."

"It's okay. I don't want to live with others. It's good to have a separate residence, so that everyone has their own independent space and won't be disturbed by others. We are an alliance, and we just need to form a joint force when necessary. "
