With magical powers, I can quietly meditate on sutras for hundreds of years and become an immortal.

Chapter 120 True Immortality Secret
  Rebellion is not a day's work.

Northwest Frontier, after nearly ten years of secret accumulation.

The Three Tribulations Salvation Society, supported by Buddhism, finally showed its vicious fangs to the world.

Gather believers, kill officials, and seize the state capital.

Countless people chanted the slogan "Maitreya is reborn to save the world."

Like a madman, he has no fear of life or death.

Faqing, the surviving royal descendant of the former Dabai Gao Kingdom, was the reincarnation of the Buddha and also the leader of the religion.

With a raised voice, followers gathered.

In just a few months, the three northwest continents fell.

Also represents.

Since Emperor Shengwu succeeded to the throne, he has declared that he has been integrated into the Dabai Gao Kingdom's homeland of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Once again, breaking away from the rule of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

After that, the demon monk Faqing announced the establishment of the Mahayana Buddhist Kingdom.

It attracts many believers and claims to build a pure land on earth without suffering.

However, his next series of actions were a bit confusing.

After Faqing used his disciples and disciples to control the three northwest states.

The first thing he ordered was not to gather property and build a Buddhist temple.

But
  Temples were slaughtered, monks and nuns beheaded, and scriptures and statues burned.

It is said that a new Buddha was born.

Everything you do is to get rid of old demons!

Such measures undoubtedly add fuel to the fire in a place that has already become chaotic after nearly ten years of turmoil.

No one understood what Faqing meant by doing this.

But no one wants to know what Da Zhou will do next.

Send troops to attack?

In other words, turn a blind eye.

Just as one would think.

The imperial court of the Great Zhou Dynasty in the capital was in charge of the small group of people who had the highest power in the world.

At this moment, it was already noisy.

Some people took charge of the battle and claimed that the Great Zhou Dynasty was a great state.

How can we ignore the thieves and ignore them?
  This will make everyone in the world laugh!

There are also people who advocate peace.

In fact, it doesn't sound like asking for peace.

Just don't care.

In the eyes of some big shots who have never been to the three states on the northwest frontier.

What kind of barren land is that?
  It doesn't pay much tax every year, and it's not a strategic location.

On the contrary, in order to maintain stability in these three states.

In the past nine years of Jingming Dynasty, Dazhou has devoted huge manpower and material resources to this end.

The northwest border and the southwest are like two bloody wounds on the giant Zhou.

In the past time, bloodletting continued day after day.

The southwest is the gateway to the tax-heavy land in the south and cannot be abandoned.

Those three border states in the northwest are like useless.

Just throw it away, no regrets.

Just right, it can also shrink the defense line.

Put more manpower and material resources in the southwest to resist the monks and Tibetans who came down from the plateau.

This kind of statement has become overwhelming in today's court.

Sitting on the dragon chair.

After nine years in Yuji, Zhao Ping, who has become more and more majestic, is also wavering in his heart.

The persistence in his heart made him unable to accept such a result.

But the facts kept telling him.

At present, it is difficult for Da Zhou to support him while maintaining the southwest front.

Once again, a battle begins on the northwest border.

But just give up.
  Zhao Ping was unwilling.

Therefore, he turned his attention to Ma Qianli.

Look at this man who made great contributions to the ban on Buddhism in the southwest.

And, in the next four years, the courtiers who risked their lives and almost abandoned everything in order to resist the Tibetan invasion on the plateau.

At the same time, he also looked at Zhou Dongliang, who was born in the northwest border and whose parents and family were all in Zhuzhou.

Ma Qianli felt his gaze and gave the most intense response:

“The three northwest states cannot be abandoned!”

"I beg you to fight to the death and put an end to the rebellion!"

As soon as the words fell, everything fell into silence.

Swirling around, there was a roar.

Li Zhen, who was walking in the vast northern country, was unaware of the quarrels among the big shots in the capital.

Even if he knew it, he would laugh it off.

Then, if you have the opportunity, gently ask those well-dressed Zhou monarchs and ministers:
  The great Zhou Dynasty, why is it like this?
  Yes!

What about this.

Emperor Shengwu conquered an extremely vast territory for the Zhou Dynasty and accumulated countless money, food and wealth.

At the same time, violent institutions like the Sanwusi that control martial arts are left behind.

However, it was only less than ten years after she left.

Everything just disappeared.

Who should I blame for this?
  He complained that those Buddhist bald donkeys were too shameless and bullied Emperor Shengwu to invade on a large scale.

The princess who bullied the Great Perimeter was promoted to the throne without top-notch combat power.

Or should I blame the Zhou Dynasty for being a bunch of idiots who just eat nothing?

Who can know?

After all, freezing three feet is not a one-day cold.

And the decline of a country does not happen in a day.

This story is still long and far from over.

So Li Zhen didn't care.

Listen and see.

Let’s be a spectator traveling in the world and history.

Don’t tell, don’t care.

Ignore the rotation of dynasties and changes in the world.

This was the purest thought in his mind when he left Beijing.

This is still the case today.

So he said goodbye to the group of businessmen in a friendly way.

Still heading north without stopping.

In the tenth year of Jingming, spring.

In the southwest, the invasion by religious and Jianghu methods failed.

In turn, at the same time, there was pressure from the Tibetan state to provoke war at the secular state level.

The Emperor of Zhou Dynasty, who was familiar with Confucian classics, hesitated for nearly half a year.

After all, he was still not swayed by the great scholars he had personally promoted in the court over the years.

He chose to trust Ma Qianli and let him lead his troops to suppress the rebellion in the three northwest states.

However, due to the overt and covert opposition of Gong Gong in the court.

Even if he, the emperor, made the final decision, it would be difficult to support it too much.

After being given a righteous status.

They just took out part of the money and food from their internal funds to use it to recruit troops and put down the rebellion.

Ma Qianli had no complaints.

Determined to die, he left the capital with three hundred yuan.

But on the day he left, Ma Qianli's actions attracted the attention of everyone in the capital.

At the same time, it also silenced all those who doubted him.

Because there was a coffin that left with him.

Ma Qianli, who is only 40 years old this year, expressed his unprecedented determination to the world.

Here we go, carrying the coffin and fighting to the death.

If there is no peace and chaos, the power will not return!

It is also the spring of this year.

Li Zhen walked through the Daheishan Ancient Road.

He left the country belonging to the Great Zhou Dynasty and set foot on a foreign land.

This is beyond the Great Wall.

It is a barbarian land among the people of the Central Plains, a barren place.

It turned out that Li Zhen still didn't believe it.

But when he came and saw it in person.

It seems that I have to admit that there is nothing wrong with what I said.

Desolation, a piece of desolation.

Everything you see is gray.

It may be early spring, the snow has just melted, and everything has not yet had time to grow.

In the vast and endless swamp grassland, there is no life at all.

There is no one around for thousands of miles, and it is lonely.

Li Zhen held Er Qing's hand and walked forward step by step on the snow and frozen soil under his feet.

He was in no hurry.

Rushing is not the goal, but a process.

The scene he had never seen before in Dazhou was a novel experience for him. At the same time, it also allowed him to see more inspirations in the world.

It is different from the appearance of everything in front of you.

The spiritual world in the mind's eye is a brand new experience.

In short, you get two experiences from one journey.

This trip is very profitable.

But if we take it seriously, the harvest is actually not like that.

Li Zhen gained the most along the way.

But it is still a modification and improvement of "The Art of Immortality".

Even, sublimation!

An ancient saying once said: If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools.

Li Zhen felt that there was nothing wrong with this sentence.

Putting it on himself at this moment, it was simply too appropriate for the occasion.

Although he had "enlightened the Tao" in the Xiantian Palace and opened the door to immortality.

I know that if I want to transcend the shackles of martial arts, I have to pursue the realm of "no body".

What is "no body"?
  It is the process in which the small world of the human body continues to move toward the outside world.

To cover it in one word is to follow the path.

Therefore, "no body" was not a realm of cultivation that he originally imagined was similar to "no mind" and could be easily achieved.

It is the goal throughout the entire spiritual path.

Chase the Tao, understand the Tao, and become the Tao.

Li Zhen, who had figured this out, did not eagerly start practicing.

Instead, he set his goal first on sorting out his past martial arts canons.

The path of spiritual practice he embarked on can be said to be unique in this world.

As the first person in history, we must always be cautious.

Otherwise, it will be a small matter to stop this way before it is established, and it will be a big thing to die if you die.

As a person who has been motivated all his life to pursue immortality.

Li Zhen still attaches great importance to his own life.

Although he is considered a pioneer.

But the founders cannot just make random changes without clear guidance.

So, after a period of his unremitting efforts.

"True Secret of Longevity" came into being.

It is different from previous martial arts versions.

The current longevity formula has completely fulfilled his vision back then.

Abandoning the cumbersome process of returning the day after tomorrow to the day before.

Directly borrow inspiration from the outside world to practice, and go straight into the innate world!
  And this is just the most basic thing that comes with his current practice book.

What is really important is that he borrowed from previous life story-telling novels.

Combined with your own understanding, you will achieve the destined long and far-reaching goal of "no body".

According to the staged achievements, it is divided into several joints.

The first thing is to ask about the heart. This goes without saying.

If you can't break this, you won't be able to take advantage of your inspiration.

Of course, if you really don't have this talent, you can enter the Xiantian Palace by chance.

After asking about the heart, there is condensation.

Gather the wisdom of heaven and earth and condense the true energy.

Like martial arts practice, it aims to penetrate the meridians.

Make the whole body healthy and lay a good foundation for the next step.

And this is an indivisible and complete process.

Achievement is success, failure is failure.

It cannot be divided into one or two floors, and there is no need for that.

The current Li Zhen should be above this level in terms of strength.

But in order to fully experience the entire practice process and eliminate possible consequences.

He was still ready to gather his ideas and start all over again.

It doesn’t take a lot of effort, but it’s very necessary.

And after that, according to his idea, it should be called Wu Liu or Tianren.

This is the ninth level envisioned by Li Taiqing in the martial arts of heaven and man.

The body is like glass, without any gain or leakage.

At this level, the entire human body can be said to have completed its transformation and become a flawless body.

You can stop eating ordinary food and feed on natural inspiration.

But Li Zhen thought about it carefully later.

There seems to be something wrong.

Although he has achieved the Glazed Body, it may be considered the pinnacle in this world.

But there is heaven outside the sky, and there is a boundary outside the world.

In the world after the shattering, can such a glazed body really reach the pinnacle?
  I'm afraid it's unlikely.

In this way, the theory of heaven and man is a bit too arrogant.

He looks like a frog in a well, arrogant and arrogant.

And whether it's condensing qi or the heavenly beings he talks about.

These actually lay the foundation for future practice.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that it has not exceeded the current limit of martial arts.

Rather than making things up, it would be better to still call it foundation building.

Plain and simple, concise.

Therefore, the third level of his cultivation path: foundation building, was settled.

As for what comes next.
  Li Zhen could only say, his eyes blank.

Does he need to refine a golden elixir in his body after building the foundation?
  Who can say for sure on this matter.

At present, his martial arts cultivation is converted into a spiritual path, and the foundation building has not been completed yet.

Naturally, there is no way to talk about any insights into the future.

Let’s wait until later to talk about everything.

There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and there is another village in the dark and bright.

There was nothing back then, but I still managed to come through step by step.

At the moment, Li Zhen doesn't think there's anything to be afraid of.

Even if the road ahead is bumpy, he still has to go his own way.

If you don’t see immortality, you won’t look back! .

In the tenth year of Jingming, it is May.

Spring is warm, flowers are blooming, grass is growing and orioles are flying.

The snow on the grasslands outside the Great Wall melted.

Looking around, there is already greenery emerging.

In the third month after Li Zhen set foot on the land beyond the Great Wall, he was stepping on the tail of spring.

A person finally appeared in his sight.

A small nomadic tribe with dozens of white tents standing beside a stream.

The sheep are scattered in the distance, looking like white clouds on the grass from the sky.

Not far away, there were shepherds grazing horses.

Li Zhen was a little curious when he saw people outside the Zhou Dynasty for the first time.

But he didn't come forward, he just held Erqing's hand and stopped in the distance, observing silently.

The shepherd didn't seem to notice his presence.

His mind didn't seem to be on the sheep in front of him.

He raised his head and looked toward the sky.

What's in the sky?
  Li Zhen looked up curiously.

I saw a pair of wild geese flying across the vast blue sky.

Hearing a "whoosh" sound, an arrow shot through the air.

At the moment when the two wild geese overlapped, they passed through.

Kill two birds with one stone!
  "Good shooting skills!"

Li Zhen couldn't help but clap his hands and praise him.

But then the situation changed again, and a goshawk appeared out of nowhere in the sky.

Go straight towards the pair of geese that are constantly falling.

The look in his eyes suddenly changed, and a smile appeared on his face.

Suddenly he leaped into the air.

He rose to mid-air and reached out to grab food from the goshawk's mouth.

As he spun and landed gracefully, he could only hear the unwilling cry of the goshawk in the sky.

Li Zhen ignored it and looked at the figure riding a horse from a distance and stopped close.

Suddenly, it was a young man.

And looking at his face, he doesn't seem to have any characteristics of a barbarian, but rather looks like a northerner from the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"Here, your prey."

He shook the wild goose in his hand and smiled.

"No more."

The young man spoke some half-baked Northern Mandarin of the Great Zhou Dynasty and shook his head:
  "Please master teach me martial arts!"

"Hahaha!"

Li Zhen laughed out loud.

This boy is so interesting.

Such a shameless look is very similar to Ji Donglai's.
