I practiced magic in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 50: The Path of Heavenly Sword
Having obtained the treasure, Tian Si turned around and left. However, as soon as he left the secret vault, he was discovered by the patrolling guards of the Jiade Hall.

"Who are you!"

"An enemy has broken into the Jiade Hall. Quickly warn the Imperial Master!"

Although the guards were alarmed, Tian Si remained calm and killed the imperial guards who rushed towards him with a casual blow. At this moment, holding Wang Mang's head, he unscrupulously transformed his own mental power into natural power, and practiced the mysterious art of "Twenty-Four Divine Contemplation Methods".

Nature, the world.

The human body is a small world.

Therefore, there are twenty-four solar terms in the sky and twenty-four gods in the body.

The universe is so vast, and the 24 solar terms repeat themselves in a cycle, including the Beginning of Spring, Rain Water, Waking of Insects, Vernal Equinox, Pure Brightness, Grain Rain, Beginning of Summer, Grain Full, Grain in Ear, Summer Solstice, Lesser Heat, Greater Heat, Beginning of Autumn, End of Heat, White Dew, Autumnal Equinox, Cold Dew, Frost Descent, Beginning of Winter, Light Snow, Heavy Snow, Winter Solstice, Lesser Cold and Greater Cold.

The human body is subtle, with twenty-four organs that run the vital energy, including the brain, hair, skin, eyes, neck marrow, spine, nose, tongue, throat, lungs, heart, liver, gallbladder, left kidney, right kidney, spleen, stomach, intestines, large and small intestines, torso, chest and diaphragm, two sides, left yin and left yang, right yin and right yang.

Practice Taoism and refine your nature, your thoughts can transform you into a spirit!

In ancient times, the human race was weak and had to face threats from wild beast attacks and natural disasters at all times. If they were not careful, the entire clan would be wiped out. Therefore, out of fear, they had to seek help from ghosts and gods.

Faith is born out of fear. In order to survive, human beings have to pray to ghosts and gods for strength.

Until later, a group of people discovered that ghosts and gods are just like this, and it is better to pray to oneself than to pray to gods and ghosts.

The path of spiritual practice begins here.

Taoist Xuan Zong knew very well that the so-called gods were nothing more than living beings formed by the aggregation of thought energy, so naturally he developed his own method of refining gods.

"The eight gods of Shangjing, one merges into the body."

"Eight gods in the middle scene, four changes and nine flights."

"The eight gods of Xiajing, dispersed into spirits."

As Tiansi stepped on the Gang and Dou and chanted the mantra of "Twenty-Four Divine Contemplation Methods", the powerful power of thought was also blessing his body, allowing him to gain incredible strength.

The twenty-four organs in the body are all controlled by gods. Just by raising your hands and feet, you can mobilize the natural power of heaven and earth. With a palm pressed down, the Yuan Qi will turn into a giant hand, which will fall suddenly with high temperature, strong wind and thunder.

Rumble~
It was July, the hottest month of the year.

The heaven and earth are like a furnace, extremely hot, with frequent hurricanes and thunderstorms.

This infinite power from nature has been mastered by Tiansi. He performed the "Twenty-Four Divine Concentration Methods", responding to the great heat of the day from above and drawing the energy of the capital from below. With his hands clenched in the air, it seemed as if he had grasped the entire world in his palms.

And how can mortals resist the power of the vast universe?
The guards of the Jiade Hall were immediately blown to pieces and fell all over the place.

In the palace, the eight-year-old Prince of Chenliu Liu Xie was awakened from his dream. Although he was terrified, he remained calm and composed: "Emperor Master!"

Wang Yue responded and said, "Your Highness, I am here."

Seeing Wang Yue, Liu Xie felt relieved instantly, but he still asked with a little concern: "What happened outside the palace? Did the general lead his troops to attack?"

Wang Yue looked at Liu Xie, who was so sensible that it made people feel distressed. He shook his head and comforted him, "Don't worry, Your Highness. He is just a thief. Leave it to me to deal with it."

"Then I'll have to trouble Master Di."

"Don't dare."

Wang Yue bowed and left the bedroom, then waved his hand and the snake-slaying sword hanging on the wall flew into his palm like a young swallow returning to its nest.

After stepping out of the bedroom, Wang Yue's sharp sword intent was no longer suppressed. It rose into the clouds, covering the entire Nan Palace, searching for the enemy with his Qi.

In just a few breaths, the enemy had nowhere to hide.

"Got you!"

Zheng~
The Snake-Slaying Sword was immediately unsheathed, and its sharp sound pierced the night sky. The sword shone brightly and brilliantly, carrying the majestic aura of an imperial sword, illuminating the entire palace.

Wang Yueren followed the sword and instantly arrived in front of Tiansi, slashing at his face with the sword.

"Good swordsmanship!"

This sword is like an antelope hanging on a horn. Its artistic conception is transcendent, traceless, and natural. It seems that only by being killed by this sword can it be in accordance with the truth of heaven, conform to the laws of nature, and be a reasonable thing.

Terrifying sword intent!

Before the blade reaches the target, it has already confused the opponent's mind, making him forget to resist and struggle.

However, Tiansi's cultivation had already reached an extraordinary level. This sword could kill 99% of the masters in the world, but not him.

"You are worthy of the title of Sword Saint and the pinnacle of your skills. But your sword cannot kill me."

Rumble~
Tian Si clenched his right hand, and there was a flash of lightning between his five fingers. Then he suddenly slapped the Snake-Slaying Sword with his palm.

The summer thunder angrily shook the Emperor Sword Chixiao.

For a moment, the boundless power of heaven and earth and the force of nature confronted the supreme imperial dragon energy head-on. The two extremely powerful forces collided fiercely, causing abnormal changes in the sky, flying sand and rocks, and the ground sinking three feet.

Both of them were peerless masters, and their battle was not something that others could interfere with. Those with weaker cultivation could not even withstand the impact of the aftermath of the battle between Wang Yue and Tian Si, and were shocked to the point that their internal organs were burning and their blood was churning.

Soon, the fierce fight between the two spread to outside the Jiade Hall.

Wang Yue held the Snake-Slaying Sword in his hand and stood proudly facing the wind. At this moment, he had Emperor Gaozu's sword on him and was not suppressed by the fire dragon energy of the Yanhan Dynasty.

Tian Si holds Wang Mang's head, and he thinks it can be transformed into the dragon energy of the new dynasty. For a time, it is enough to compete with the dragon energy ban in the palace. Both sides can fight with the most complete posture.

"You have such great accomplishments, why do you have to hide your head and show your tail?"

Tian Si took off his mask, revealing a withered, dead face.

When Wang Yue saw this, he frowned slightly: "Zhang Jue? You are not dead yet!"

"My name is Longju Tiansi, and I am currently working outside the Heavenly Palace."

"The art of resurrecting a dead body?"

Wang Yue's eyes were stern. The man in front of him was the strongest enemy he had ever met in his life. His Taoist skills were unfathomable. He was stronger than Zhang Jue, the great virtuous teacher who almost overthrew the Yanhan Dynasty.

But even so, Wang Yue was deeply indebted to the emperor, and he had to repay the late emperor's kindness, so he pointed the tip of his sword directly at Tiansi: "Any last words?"

"Heh, I told you, your sword can't cut me."

"Shameless talk!"

Wang Yue no longer held back, murderous intent flashed in his eyes, he was seen holding the Snake-Slaying Sword in both hands, eight pure sword intents emerged around his body, two by two combined, yin and yang transformed, dragon and tiger helped each other, and finally turned into four sword auras of wind, rain, thunder and lightning.

The sword moves the mountains and rivers, and the energy performs the four symbols!
Different from Shi A, Deng Zhan, Zhang Feng and Wei Chen, the other four disciples who had only evolved the Sword Moving Mountains and Rivers of Eight True Sword Styles to the fourth realm, Wang Yue's Sword Moving Mountains and Rivers had already reached the peak of the sixth realm of martial arts, and there was even a tendency for him to enter a higher realm.

Before the sword moved, heaven and earth had already responded to its sword intent.

At this moment, the sky and the earth were filled with wind and clouds, heavy rain, thunder, silver snakes and lightning, and the sharp sword intent covered an area of ​​a thousand feet. The meteorological force that evolved was even more incredible.

The constantly accumulating sword force makes the power of sword moves increase steadily.

Tian Si just stood there, not intending to interrupt Wang Yue's accumulated sword power. Instead, he smiled and instructed him, "Among the Eight Swords of Ancient Yue, the Yue girl once left behind eight inherited sword intentions. It seems that you have completely mastered them, and made the eight swords communicate with your mind, allowing you to glimpse the 'Heavenly Sword' path that the Yue girl took in the past."

"But embarking on the same path and defeating all the famous swordsmen in the world does not mean that you can become a 'Heavenly Sword', because you are not a Yue girl. Your sword comes from the human world after all."

At this moment, Wang Yue's sword power climbed to the peak. Under the blessing of the Emperor Sword Chixiao's divine power, his thought energy and Yuan Qi intertwined into a dazzling sword light that connected the sky and the earth, hanging from the sky, reflecting the stars. Wind, rain, thunder and lightning surrounded it. The sword intent was boundless, as if it ran through the long river of time.

"I told you, the Snake-Slaying Sword is useless to me."

Facing the fatal sword move, Tian Si did not dodge or evade, but a gorgeous bronze mirror appeared in his hand. Eleven crystal clear gems were inlaid on it, one in the middle, and the other ten on both sides, like military generals and civil officials guarding the central palace, shining brightly, and like stars in the sky, illuminating the world.

"The Taiwei mirror reflects the stars and the constellations move." Tian Si recited the incantation and activated the Taiwei magic mirror in his hand.

This item is one of the Three Heavenly Palaces' most precious treasures. Together with the Purple Star Disk and the Tianshi Jade Talisman, it is a national treasure of the Immortal Qin Dynasty. It is made of special materials. When the Qin State destroyed Bashu, an ancient Shu ruins were accidentally excavated and a set of ancient artifact fragments were obtained. Later, combined with the astrology of the Central Plains, it was finally restored with the strength of the whole country.

The Three Enclosures are the most precious treasures, assisted by the Twenty-Eight Constellations and the Four Symbols Formation Diagram and the Star Divine Canon. It can borrow the power of the stars, use both civil and military means, attack cities and capture strongholds, and be invincible with unparalleled power.

In the past, the Qin Dynasty was able to sweep across the six kingdoms, and the Three Enclosures Treasures and the Twenty-Eight Constellations and Four Symbols Formation Diagram played a vital role in this.

However, when Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang attacked Xianyang, Ziying surrendered, and the Three Heavens Treasures, the Four Symbols Formation Diagram and the "Starry Sky Divine Canon" all disappeared due to the death of Zhao Gao.

It was not until the time of Emperor Wu of Han that Fang Xiandao, under the pretext of refining an elixir of immortality, used the power of the imperial court to search the entire country and finally found the treasure that protected the country during the Qin Dynasty.

Even if used alone at this time, the power of the Taiwei Divine Mirror is beyond imagination.

Wang Yue swung the Snake-Slaying Sword with all his strength, but the sword was reflected back by the Taiwei Divine Mirror. Hastily, he blocked it with his sword, but was still slashed away by the powerful force.

After retreating several dozen feet, Wang Yue used his sword to stab the ground to steady his body, and drops of blood slowly flowed down the sword.

"How can it be……"

Wang Yue forced himself to suppress his injuries, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

Tian Si's eyes were indifferent: "Dragon Qi is not omnipotent, nor is it invincible. In the final analysis, human dragon Qi is nothing more than the power of thought, and the magic mirror in my hand is a treasure that specifically restrains the power of thought. In the past, you relied too much on the power of the Eight Swords of Ancient Yue, and now you rely too much on the power of the Emperor Sword Chi Xiao. These powers are indeed powerful, but they do not belong to you."

"Throughout the ages, the only people who have been able to cross the limit of swordsmanship and enter the realm of heaven and man are Yue Girl Ah Qing and Overlord Xiang Yu. Of these two, Yue Girl Ah Qing is a natural swordsman, and Overlord Xiang Yu's swordsmanship is divine, and both have walked out of their own swordsmanship. But you are still obsessed with relying on external power. Even if you have the heart to seek the sword, I am afraid you will never be able to comprehend the realm of the 'Heavenly Sword'."

Wang Yue instantly understood that Wang Jing must have been instigated by the person in front of him to steal the Eight Swords of Ancient Yue from him.

Why did the other party point out the flaws in his swordsmanship when he clearly had the opportunity to kill him?
"Who are you? Since you broke into the palace to steal treasures, why did you guide me on the path of the Heavenly Sword?"

"Because I need you to help me deal with someone."

"Who?"

"Dong Zhuo."

Wang Yue was somewhat stunned, and then asked in confusion: "With your strength, how difficult is it to kill Dong Zhuo?"

Tian Si shook his head upon hearing this: "He has a special fate, and I have reasons why I cannot do anything."

Just when Wang Yue wanted to ask something else, a bolt of lightning struck Tiansi.

Shi Zimiao shouted from a distance: "Don't panic, Imperial Master, I am here to help you!"

At this time, he was holding the imperial edict and was authorized by Empress Dowager He and Emperor Liu Bian to do whatever he wanted in the palace, and the Yi Mu Divine Thunder method came with a bang.

Tian Si turned around and glanced at Wang Yue: "It's up to you to decide what to do."

He then used the innate Qi handprint to disperse the incoming thunder and fire in mid-air, and then floated away.

At the Suzaku Gate of Nangong, the city gate captain Wu Qiong rushed to find Wang Jing and said, "Captain of the Cavalry, the military situation is urgent. Quickly bring your men with me to the Jiade Hall to capture the thieves!"

Wang Jing, who had already thought of a countermeasure with Xun You, pretended to hesitate for a moment, and then sternly refused: "Captain Wu, I'm afraid I can't agree to this. The accusation given to me by His Majesty and the Queen Mother is to keep an eye on the palace gate. If I withdraw manpower at this time, it will lead to a lack of defense. If we fall into the enemy's trap of luring the tiger away from the mountain, who can bear the responsibility?"

"you!"

Wu Qiong was so angry that his scalp was about to explode. He was so anxious that he said, "I think you are just a coward and are trying to shirk responsibility!"

Just as the two were arguing, Xun You stepped forward and greeted Wu Qiong first: "Deyu, can I have a word with you?"

Seeing that it was Xun You, Wu Qiong softened his tone and said, "Gongda, please help me persuade the cavalry captain that the top priority right now is to capture the thieves."

Xun You shook his head first, then said, "Deyu, the thieves who were able to sneak into the palace must be few in number, and there is a high possibility that there is only one person. Now that the thieves have been stopped by the Imperial Master, if we go over there, not only will we not be able to help, but we will most likely become a burden, making the Imperial Master's hands tied when fighting."

"This... But if we don't rescue him, His Majesty will investigate..."

Wu Qiong had a worried look on his face, obviously afraid of being blamed.

Xun You leaned close to his ear and whispered, "If the Imperial Master can capture the thieves, we won't get any credit if we go. And if even the Imperial Master can't deal with the thieves, what's the point of us going? Instead of this, why not keep a unified tone and say that there are suspected accomplices of the thieves outside the palace gate, so we dare not disperse our forces, lest the thieves take advantage of us."

"Okay, let's do as Gongda said!"

Wu Qiong hesitated for only a moment before agreeing to speak with Wang Jing.

When you are on duty, you don't seek to be meritorious, but you do seek to avoid mistakes!
It was not until the fierce fighting in the palace was completely calmed down that Wang Jing and Wu Qiong took people to clean up the mess. The fighting at the scene was also extremely brutal.

More than half of the guards of the Temple of the Guardian died, and corpses were scattered all over the ground, it was a horrific sight.

Wu Qiong swallowed and was glad that he listened to Xun You's advice and followed his heart, otherwise he might have died here tonight.

Wang Jing hurried forward to ask about Wang Yue's injury: "Is the Imperial Master okay?"

Wang Yue looked at Wang Jing meaningfully, and finally said nothing, but replied: "It's just a minor injury, it's nothing serious."

Then Wang Jing saw Shi Zimiao standing next to Wang Yue, and immediately bowed respectfully: "Jing, meet Master Xuanming."

"Haha, Yuan Xu has really made a name for himself now. He is in a high position at such a young age. He must have a bright future."

Shi Zimiao and Wang Yun were old acquaintances, and when he saw Wang Jingru meeting his own nephews, they chatted for a while longer.

Wang Jing pretended to look around, then asked tentatively: "Have you caught the thief?"

Shi Zimiao stroked his beard with a proud look on his face: "Humph, if he hadn't run so fast, I would have twisted his head off and kicked it like a ball."

Wang Jing was speechless. If Tiansi hadn't run away, I'm afraid I would have to burn incense and paper money for you on this day next year.

However, when dealing with people, the most important thing is to be ignorant.

Facing the two elders, Shi Zimiao and Wang Yue, Wang Jing also flattered them wildly: "It must be that the thieves came to the palace to assassinate, but they were no match for the power of the Imperial Master and the Immortal Master, so they fled in panic. If it weren't for the two of you tonight, the nobles in the palace might have been in trouble."

After saying this, Wang Jing winked at Wu Qiong frantically.

Wu Qiong immediately understood: "Ah, that's right! The cavalry captain is right! Such meritorious service in protecting the emperor should be rewarded by the court!"

Wang Yue remained silent. How could he dare to tell anyone about the existence of the royal secret vault?
Shi Zimiao believed it to be true. When he heard the word "reward", he smiled so hard that his teeth were exposed. He stroked his beard and pretended to be modest and said, "I am deeply favored by the emperor. Naturally, I have to help your majesty and the queen mother solve their problems. It's just a small matter. What's the point of mentioning it? Hahaha~"

The rebellion in Nangong gradually subsided, and Tiansi once again stepped into the Taifu mansion on the east side of Nangong.

"I have already got what you wanted."

Tian Si placed the wooden box containing Wang Mang's head in front of Yuan Wei and asked, "Where is the thing I want?"

Yuan Wei clapped his hands, and Yuan Ji, along with several assassins, brought up three large boxes filled with disintegrated fragments of ancient artifacts.

Tian Si checked it patiently. Although he showed no emotion, he was actually overjoyed in his heart: "It is indeed the missing part of the Yaowen Xuanlu! Finally, the last missing part has been found."

Then he took out a scroll and slowly opened it.

On the drawing paper, there was a lifelike image of a Taotie, an ancient monster. As the scroll was spread out, the Taotie in the painting seemed to come alive and swallowed the three large wooden boxes with its mouth open.

Yuan Wei couldn't help but marvel at this: "This Taotie Picture should be the work of Zhang Pingzi, right? The Taotie he painted is so magical, it's really amazing."

Zhang Pingzi is Zhang Heng, a Leonardo da Vinci-like figure who not only pioneered the study of Chinese astronomy and geography, but was also a man of great literary talent, proficient in the Five Classics and the Six Arts, and was one of the four great writers of Han Dynasty fu.

In his spare time, he also invented things like the seismometer, and was revered as the Saint of Wood and the Saint of Science.

Even in painting, he is also an expert, able to write beautifully and express his thoughts.

After the deal was done, Tian Si turned around and was about to leave: "Taifu, before we part, I have something to say to you. Wang Mang of the Xin Dynasty had an army of 400,000, but he was still defeated by the falling star from the sky. He was swept away by Emperor Guangwu's sword and eventually died and his clan was wiped out. This is such a bloody lesson. Taifu, you are well versed in prophecies and classics, and you should know the power of the way of heaven. If you take a risk now, be careful not to follow in Wang Mang's footsteps."

After saying this, without paying any attention to Yuan Weinan's extremely shocked expression, he turned into a breeze and disappeared from his sight.
