From Xiaoao to travel around the world

Chapter 201 The Dust Settles
At the end of the stone corridor connecting the island in the center of the lake, Yang Qing stands quietly by the lake.

In the divine sense, an invisible air sword condensed with flames, chasing the erratic sky marks back and forth.

Although the latter is weird and agile, its traces are hard to find.

But once captured by the divine mind, the invisible air sword will stick to it immediately as if teleported.

At this time, more than ten days have passed since the poisonous dragon spit out the beads.

His body had recovered a few days ago, and he had practiced the "Yoga Tantra" to the third level, expanding the scope of his spiritual thoughts to more than 35 feet, and the speed of entry was much faster than before.

"Yoga Tantra" broke into the third level, and Yang Qing obviously felt that the mind is not just as simple as the eyes.

Using his divine sense to control the sword qi and chasing Tianhen for a while, he suddenly had a thought, and the sword qi instantly sank into the lake and passed by Youyu's side.

A large spray was stirred up on the surface of the water, and under the intertwined water and fire, another mist rose up.

And the fish also rushed into the air along with the spray, and then Yang Qing locked his mind, and the fat fish, which was still alive and kicking, floated steadily in front of him.

You don't need to grab it with your hands, and you don't need to capture it with your true energy. You can already manipulate foreign objects with just your divine thoughts.

"It's a little thoughtful..."

While skillfully cleaning and grilling the fish, Yang Qing pondered over what he had collected these days.

What pleased him the most was the qualitative change of the divine sense, which not only could directly interfere with foreign objects, but also made seals faster and more powerful.

Combined with true qi, it can even make him float in the air for a short time.

This is the vision that Shi Feixuan told him to have when he entered the samadhi. After several attempts, he finally confirmed that he could indeed do this.

But at present, it can only be three feet above the ground, and it cannot take people with it. As for flying in the sky, it is still too far away.

He has tried Yukong, but at most it will fall if it floats up to three feet away.

And it can only float on the spot. Although it can play a role in unloading force when falling from a high place, the effect is limited.

With the application of lightness skills, it may be able to receive miraculous effects at certain times.

In addition to his strong spiritual sense, he gathered spiritual energy to form an air sword at a much faster speed.

Combined with the fundamentals of handprints that Shi Feixuan said before, he found out a set of seal formulas suitable for him to condense Qi into a sword.

The ten fingers of the human body are divided into five elements, which determine Yin and Yang.

Since the condensed Qi sword is like a raging fire, he keeps trying the Yin Jue in these two directions.

After countless failures, he made changes according to the principle of mutual generation and restraint of the five elements, and finally found some ways.

If it was said that he was reckless because of the abnormal change of true qi before and the effect of divine sense, then now his invisible qi sword has a solid foundation.

As soon as the seal formula came out, the spiritual energy from all directions came to watch the wind, as if casting the "Myriad Laws of the Mysteries", carrying his unique sword intent, and there was no need to forcibly restrain it.

Only then did the scene where he drove the invisible sword energy to chase the sky mark just now.

In terms of realm, this still belongs to the level of the invisible heart sword, but it has obviously reached the level of great success.

It is not easy to create a seal formula by yourself. Yang Qing knows that although the progress has been remarkable, there is still a lot of room for improvement in this rough sword formula.

"Brother Yang."

Yang Qing was chewing the cooked fish and looked back, seeing Concubine Xuan with bare legs and bare feet, walking with a piece of "silver cake".

This silver cake was originally the broken silver that he carried on his body, but it was burnt into silver water and fell to the ground before entering the meditation, turning it into a flat piece.

The Temple of War is constantly moving around, and no one knows where it will go after going out.

He and Concubine Shixuan currently only have white silk to cover their bodies, and buying two clothes is the most urgent need.

After receiving the silver cake, Yang Qing squeezed it into several balls with one hand and took it away, then threw the cleaned fish bones into the lake and said, "I won't go to the Temple of War anymore? It will be difficult to come in after going out this time." gone."

Concubine Shixuan smiled and shook her head, "The Secret of Longevity handed down by Guang Chengzi can be said to be a simplified version of the God of War Atlas, but among the people I know for thousands of years, only Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling have practiced it.

It can be seen that the opportunity has not come and cannot be forced.In the future, it would be best if I can come here again if I am successful in my practice, but it is my destiny not to come in. "

Yang Qing nodded and said, "In that case, let's go."

The two agreed to leave more than ten days ago.

Now that his body is completely weakened, and the burns on Shi Feixuan's body have also healed, there is no reason to stay anymore.

"Brother Yang will lead the way."

Hearing that Yang Qingqu flicked the lake water, the next moment the water surface froze into ice floes measuring one zhang square.

The two stepped forward, and then driven by their true energy, the ice floe carried them quickly to the center of the lake.

The swiftly sliding ice surface brought up a breeze, and Shi Feixuan brushed away the hair falling from her forehead, and turned her head behind her.

But seeing the stone corridor getting farther and farther in sight, the huge stone tortoise at the end quickly disappeared, and the hall further behind lost its fluorescence and gradually sank into the darkness.

When he looked back, his body was surrounded by water waves, and unknown alien species with the body of a mermaid swim past intermittently.

Vaguely, she seemed to see a girl opening her mouth to show her sharp teeth.

But maybe because of the poisonous dragon Neidan on her body, the latter didn't dare to get close.

She was frightened when she came here, but now when she sees her again, she feels that everything here is like a dream.

"gone."

At the position slightly in front of the side, Yang Qing gave a reminder, and then pinched the sword formula with his hand, the flames flashed in the divine mind, and accurately cut through the sky marks passing through the air.

Then a chaotic portal where two people competed appeared in front of them.

"Ang~"

At this moment, he heard a dragon hiss, and looked together with Shi Feixuan, it was the poisonous dragon breaking through the water, revealing half of its body on the lake.

And on top of its head, a small snake with long arms and short arms was coiled on the dragon's horn, and kept voicing messages to the two of them.

……

Stepping through the door together with Shi Feixuan, the feeling of walking through a mirror reappeared.

The next moment, the foreground suddenly changed. It was no longer a misty scene in the Temple of War, but a hill full of vitality.

It was noon, and they landed on the top of a hill.

Blown by the head-on breeze, the branches and leaves rustled all around, and the fragrance of the grass and trees wafted to the nose. Both of them had the illusion of being separated from each other, and couldn't help but take a long breath.

Yang Qing raised his eyes and scanned the surroundings, and saw the luxuriant branches and leaves, which were completely different from the ice and snow before entering the Temple of War God.

At the foot of the hill, the large maple leaves are half red and half green, which seems to be the end of summer and early autumn.

"Let's go, first find someone to ask the way."

The Temple of War God kept moving, and when we entered it was in the northern polar region, no one could tell where it was right now.

Walking down a small path on a low hill, passing through the maple forest, Yang Qing heard a stream flowing in front of him, so the two of them walked downstream along the waterway not long before they finally heard the voice of people.

After a while, I saw two small villages built across the water on the left and right of the stream, and there were four or five women washing clothes by the water.

Yang Qing asked Concubine Shixuan, who was only covered with white silk, to wait at the same place, and went up to ask questions.

Unexpectedly, there was an uproar as soon as he arrived.

"Hey! Where did this young man come from? Why did he come out dressed like this?"

"He looks quite handsome..."

At the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the atmosphere was relatively open, and these women who had already married and had children were not young girls who had never seen the world.

So although Yang Qing's dress that was cold in the wind caused a commotion, there was no commotion.

He was not in the mood to accompany others to make fun of him, so he explained the reason in a few perfunctory words, and then asked with a smile: "Several sisters-in-law, people who are in Luoyang. They were lost by thieves on the road, so I came here to ask questions and buy some by the way." Two suits."

"Have you been robbed?" A woman sympathized, "You're not hurt, are you? Do you want me to go back to the village and ask someone to report to the police for you?"

"Thank you sister-in-law, I only need clothes now, and I will report to the official later."

"Then just wait, I'll go back and look for it."

After the woman left, Yang Qing asked the others: "Sister-in-law, I don't know what kind of territory this is."

"This is Qi County, and not far ahead is Jinan City."

"Then what year is it now?"

"You young man, did you get confused by the thieves?" The woman smiled and said, "Isn't it the fourth year of Zhenguan, and the Mid-Autumn Festival will be half a month away."

Hearing the name of the fourth year of Zhenguan, Yang Qing was slightly astonished even though she was prepared in her heart.

"Sister-in-law, do you know how Luoyang is doing now?"

"I said, you are not from our Tang Dynasty, are you?" The woman wondered, "Luoyang was pacified by the Holy One a year ago, and the leader was killed."

"Who's in the lead."

"It's not that..."

Just as the woman was about to answer again, she reacted suddenly, and when she looked at him again, her eyes were already a little wary.

At this time, the women who went back to the village to pick up the clothes just came back. Yang Qing knew that these women had limited knowledge, so he didn't bother to ask.

After taking the clothes, he thanked several people, left a piece of silver, and went back to meet Shi Feixuan by himself.

The clothes are just coarse linen, which is better than white silk with scorched marks.

Concubine Shixuan was also a little dazed when she heard that it was already the fourth year of Zhenguan, and then rushed to Jinan City together with Yang Qing.

Cihang Jingzhai is the leader of the righteous way. As soon as Shi Feixuan entered the city, she went to find someone to inquire about the news, and Yang Qing found an inn to stay.

Since leaving Luoyang, Yang Qing has been in a barren place for nearly a year, counting the time spent traveling north to the Temple of War.

He is no stranger to this kind of experience, but at this moment when he suddenly hears the fireworks in the world, it is inevitable that he will feel emotional.

I ordered food alone on the second floor by the window, and after sitting for a while, I saw Shi Feixuan walk into the inn.

"It is indeed the fourth year of Zhenguan."

Sitting down opposite Yang Qing, Shi Feixuan smiled wryly and said, "You and I have been in the Temple of War God for half a year, but it has been nearly five years outside."

It is not so incredible to hear the news that has been known for a long time.

Yang Qing picked up a piece of tofu with chopsticks, chewed it carefully in his mouth, and asked calmly, "Tell me in detail."

"Where should we start?" Shi Feixuan breathed a sigh of relief, and said slowly: "Four years ago, when Pei Xingyan returned to the pass, it was the second spring.

Taking advantage of the alternation of spring and winter, he returned all the way south, slaughtered several Turkic camps along the way, and went right to Jinyang on the way back..."

Following Shi Feixuan's explanation verbatim, Yang Qing also figured out the changes in the past few years.

When Pei Xingyan returned to Jinyang, Li Shimin had defeated Liu Wuzhou and regained control of Jinyang.

At that time, he was closely pursued by [-] Turkic cavalry. When he arrived in Jinyang, he was exhausted and could hardly sustain himself.

Later, when Li Shimin saw the saber he was carrying, he resisted all opinions and let him enter the pass, even blocking the Turkic pursuers.

After Pei Xingyan returned to the Central Plains, he became famous all over the world and became a world-famous general.

The price was that the Turks went south to plunder the frontier, and even had the intention of taking control of the Central Plains.

The Li family and the Turks completely turned against each other, and the princes from all walks of life in the north of the Central Plains were also greatly affected by this.

However, Li Shimin not only withstood the pressure from Chang'an, but also took this opportunity to defeat Dou Jiande, Liang Shidu and other northern princes.

In the next few years, the South was merged into the Tang Dynasty one after another, and even Kou Zhong withdrew from the ranks of fighting for the world three years ago, and returned to the South to marry Song Yuzhi.

So far, the Li clan has completely unified the Central Plains.

Later, Li Jiancheng died in Xuanwu Gate, Li Yuan abdicated, and Li Shimin ascended the throne the following year.

"What about Luoyang?"

After listening for a while, seeing that she never mentioned Luoyang, Yang Qing couldn't help asking.

"You and I have not returned for a long time, and everyone in the Central Plains thought we died outside the northern region." Shi Feixuan said: "It is said that Pei Xingyan went back to Luoyang for half a year, and then went to the northern region to look for it for a long time.

Two years ago, Li Mi took advantage of his absence in the city, and his people were unstable, so he raised troops to seize power.

At that time, the unification of the Central Plains was imperative. Li Shimin sent troops to besiege the city, but they did not attack. "

"Where are the others?" Yang Qing asked suspiciously, "Without Pei Xingyan, will Li Mi take advantage of the loophole?"

Shi Feixuan shook her head and said: "At that time, Yuan Wendu and others were still waiting for you to go back, so they also stood by Li Mi's side, hoping to use him to stabilize the situation.

But after Pei Xingyan returned a year ago, they also had to give up, so they negotiated to dedicate the city. "

"Does Li Mi agree?"

"Li Mi is dead." Shi Feixuan replied, "It was a young man named Gao Pei'an who succeeded, besides Li Mi and his son, there was also a man named Wang Bodang who died under his sword.

I heard he is your apprentice. "

In just a few words, Yang Qing could already imagine the situation at that time.

Li Mi hibernated in Luoyang for a long time, and finally waited until he disappeared, so he must have made elaborate arrangements.

He was a little surprised to die in the hands of Gao Pei'an in the end.

"Don't worry, Luoyang can be said to have almost no damage. Pei Xingyan is still guarding Luoyang. Only Yuan Wendu is waiting for a few old officials to retire and return home. Many of your former subordinates are still in their original positions."

Yang Qing smiled and said: "Li Shimin is afraid that I'm not dead. With this care alone, I have nothing to say."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw countless homing pigeons flying across the sky in the city outside the window, and several galloping horses galloped out of the city on the avenue.

"The news of you and me returning to the south will probably spread throughout the Central Plains within ten days and reach the ears of those who care."

"It doesn't matter." Yang Qing said lightly: "Your goal of going down the mountain has also been achieved. After this meal, go back to the mountain."

"Brother Yang, what about you?"

"Me?" Yang Qing put down his chopsticks and thought for a while: "Go back to Luoyang and have a look, and then...by the way, where is my sword?"

Concubine Shi Xuan smiled and said, "Of course it's still in Pei Xingyan's hands."

"Yeah." Yang Qing nodded and said, "Go back and see my apprentice, and then it's time to find a place to cultivate."

Concubine Shixuan pursed her lips slightly, and suddenly asked: "I always felt abrupt before, but now we are about to part, I want to know if brother Yang has broken the threshold of life and death? When will he really break through?"

"My realm is higher than yours, but you and I have different paths. If you want to ask about experience, I'm afraid I can't help you."

Yang Qing stood up and walked to the steps downstairs, seeing Shi Feixuan's eyes cast in her mind, she said as she walked, "See you by fate."

When the voice fell, he had disappeared among the crowd coming and going in the inn.
