I practiced magic in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 88 Little Golden Man, I Want One Too

The eighteen princes were full of high spirits when they set out, but after experiencing a disastrous defeat, they began to fear the sharp edge of the Western Liang Army. They did not dare to fight with them and were unwilling to lose their own troops. They all hoped that others would go forward and die so that they could reap the benefits.

However, the more this happens, the less willing people are to take action.

At this critical moment, only two people stepped forward regardless of their own safety and risked their lives.

"A real man should die for his country!"

Filled with rage, Cao Cao led 5,000 volunteers out of Suanzao and marched towards Luoyang without hesitation.

"Dong Zhuo is a traitor who has overthrown the royal family. If we don't kill him, we will not be able to thank the world!"

Sun Jian swung his sword to the north and personally led the main force towards Angyang.

These two people, as if inspired by destiny, made the most stupid decision at the same time, and were even laughed at by other princes in the coalition.

"You don't know what you can do!"

"Seek death!"

The miracle did not happen. General Xu Rong under Dong Zhuo's command personally went into battle. He was an experienced and fierce general. Although Cao Cao and Sun Jian, two great men, had great ambitions, they were still no match for him. They were defeated one after another by the veteran general Xu Rong, and were defeated by him using the Leopard Strategy in his "Six Strategies and Military Classics".

Cao Cao was defeated at the Bian River and was wounded by a stray arrow. Fortunately, he was rescued by his cousin Cao Hong.

Sun Jian was surrounded in Liangdong, and his Yuzhou troops were completely defeated. In the end, only a dozen cavalrymen broke out of the encirclement, and almost all of them died.

Everyone was laughing at their recklessness and stupidity, laughing at them for losing manpower in vain and gaining nothing. Why bother?

Only Wang Jing remained silent for a long time after receiving the battle report, and finally sighed at their courage: "Knowing that it is impossible but still doing it, this is what true heroes do."

Xun You sighed: "In the end, we lost all our troops and returned empty-handed."

Wang Jing shook his head: "Although they were defeated, these two have stood out from the many princes, and have been blessed by heaven, and are trusted by the people of the world."

Xun You was well-read and well-versed in ancient and modern times. In his understanding, destiny was generally determined in advance, so he couldn't help but ask: "My lord, what do you think is more important, the will of heaven or the will of the people?"

Wang Jing answered without hesitation: "Don't ask about the will of heaven. I only look at the people's support. Therefore, the sword in my hand will only be wielded for the people."

Wang Jing didn't know much about the will and way of heaven in this world, but even if heaven really existed, he was born as a human being and naturally had to fight for humans.

Historically, the only three people who were able to obtain the Mandate of Heaven at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty were Cao Cao, Sun Jian and Liu Bei.

Why were Cao Cao and Sun Jian the first to stand out and rise?
It is because in this coalition's battle against Dong Zhuo, the two of them performed the best!
Although they were defeated, they had both demonstrated their extraordinary courage and spirit. All the heroes in the world were inspired by them and rushed to join them.

This is destiny!

This is what people want!
Xun You was an intelligent person. At this moment, his head was buzzing. He said bitterly, "No wonder in history, countless wise men with outstanding wisdom could only become counselors, but could not become overlords."

Without the determination and courage to go against the current and set an example for the world, how can we attract heroes and patriots from all over the world to follow us?
"Cao Cao and Sun Jian have both shown their potential to be future overlords. How can I, Wang Jing, let them take over?"

Wang Jing's eyes were burning, and he also had the courage and determination to accept his destiny and face challenges head-on.

Destiny is often not illusory, but exists in everyone's consciousness and beliefs.

Cao Cao obtained it and turned danger into fortune several times, turning defeat into victory.

Sun Jian obtained it, and even if he died, there would be successors, and his luck would not end.

Why?

Just because people's hearts are in favor of them, there is always a group of people around them who will never leave them and will follow them until death.

In contrast, other princes failed to stand up at this time, and in the subsequent struggle for hegemony over the world, they were either annexed or killed for unknown reasons, and finally disappeared without a trace.

Only Liu Bei, relying on the remaining influence of the Han Empire, was able to rise to power with great difficulty, but he also wasted half his life because of this, and the Shu Kingdom he founded was the first to fall.

It can be seen how important destiny is. There is a huge difference between having it and not having it!
What is the Destiny Emperor Star?

In fact, it is the fate of an emperor!

This is the most supreme destiny in all destinies!
Wang Jing possessed the "Purple Star Emperor Qi Chapter". The more he practiced its contents, the more incredible he felt that this method was. Although it could not be used directly to increase combat power, it went straight to the root of humanity. Like the "Selected Works of Mao Zedong" in later generations, it was a first-class dragon-slaying technique in the world.

…………

Xianyun Villa, located in the western suburbs outside Luoyang City.

This place was originally owned by the nobles in the court, but now it has fallen into the hands of Wang Jing and has become a secret base of the secret guards in Luoyang.

The mountain area of ​​the villa is not small, enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people, just like a small town. Therefore, Gao Shun and his 700 elite soldiers from the Xianzhen Camp were stationed here without being conspicuous.

The people in the village are all family members of the Northern Army, and they are loyal and reliable.

The newly built factories and warehouses are connected to each other, and the sound of machines is heard almost day and night. It is here that a large amount of raw materials are produced and sold throughout the world through the Luoyang Market.

Located in the core area of ​​the villa, in a heavily guarded workshop, the huge body of the black lion was lying on the ground, and the two pairs of pupils made of polished sky crystal gems looked at Tian Si with surprise: "I didn't expect that kid to invite you. How come he is the next Taoist master of your Fangxian Dao?"

Longju Tiansi and Moshi seemed to be old acquaintances. He shook his head and said, "He has not joined the Fangxian Dao. He and I are just in a cooperative relationship."

"Tsk tsk, you are not sincere, do you think I will believe you? If it was just a cooperation, why would you give me the Chunjun Sword and the unique skills like the "Purple Star Emperor Qi Chapter"?"

Although the black lion is a mechanical creation, it has already been born with intelligence. Its thinking and wisdom are no different from those of humans, and are even more powerful. It is almost like a living intelligent computer.

It’s just that the black lion’s brain is built with magical tools and spells, not driven by electricity.

The "Purple Star Emperor Qi Chapter" is a core part of the "Starry Sky Divine Canon".

Ziwei is the one that controls all the stars.

The imperial spirit is the spirit of the true dragon emperor.

When the two are combined into one, naturally only the most supreme and noble people can practice it.

In Mo Shi's opinion, Longju Tiansi must have bet heavily on Wang Jing, and believed that Wang Jing would have a chance to ascend the throne and become emperor in the future, otherwise why would he make such a huge investment?
Tian Si glanced at Mo Shi and said, "You have recognized him as your master, right? So, the Mo family is also planning to fight for the dragon? Aren't you afraid of angering the will of heaven and bringing down punishment from heaven?"

Mo Shi's jade pupils glowed with precious light, and he said in a deep voice, "If we continue to bury it like this, the Mohist School will be completely wiped out. Rather than dying quietly, it is better to fight to the death. It is rare that the boy is interested in mechanical engineering and is willing to train the successor of the Mohist School. If he doesn't dare to take this gamble once, there is no need for the Mohist School to continue to exist."

Tian Si also sighed deeply about this.

Under God's will, who among the inheritors of the various schools of thought is not struggling to survive?
Except for the Confucianists who were the first to kneel down, other schools of thought still had the courage to fight and were protecting the spiritual heritage left by the various philosophers.

Tian Si stood in front of Yu Furuo's body, which had been completely turned into metal. He stretched out his fingers and tapped the surface, making a crisp sound of gold and jade colliding, which echoed in his ears.

The sound was first transmitted from outside to inside, and then reflected from inside to outside. Tian Si listened attentively, and used it to distinguish the muscle and bone structure and qi distribution of the golden body.

Mo Shi praised: "What a wonderful method! You are indeed the most brilliant and talented person in the history of Fang Xian Dao."

Tian Si had obviously heard too much of this kind of praise, so he remained expressionless until the echo completely disappeared. He then spoke: "Xin metal flows through the veins, Geng metal enters the bones, the vitality of this golden body is well preserved, and it can be refined into a lower-grade golden armored general. With the help of divine weapons, it can fight against the gods."

"Oh, the golden-armored general, how many years have passed since the fall of the Immortal Qin Dynasty? Even if he is only of the lower rank, his combat power is enough to dominate the world. Wang Jing owes us a big favor now."

Moshi couldn't help but start to miss it. There was a faction in the Mohist school who couldn't bear to see the war between the nations, so in order to stop the war, they joined the Qin State and helped the first emperor Ying Zheng to unify the Central Plains. The Twelve Golden Men were the highest masterpieces completed by the cooperation of the Yin-Yang School's weapon refining technique and the Mohist School's mechanical technique. They were the strongest weapons of war.

If it weren't for the fact that the First Emperor, in order to seek immortality and survive under heaven's punishment, had not been blessed with the "Star Divine Canon", and then used the Three Enclosures treasure to suppress his fate, and cooperated with the Qin elite to set up the Twenty-Eight Constellations and Four Symbols Formation, how could half of them be easily destroyed by Xiang Yu?
During their heyday, each of the twelve golden-armored generals was of top quality, and each possessed power comparable to that of a god, enough to suppress the world.

Therefore, it can be said that as long as the First Emperor is alive, no one in the world dares to rebel, and no one can rebel.

However, supernatural powers cannot defeat destiny. Even a powerful emperor like the Qin Emperor was feared by the Eye of Heaven and died in the second generation.

Even the once prosperous Mohist school was washed away by the wind and rain, and it could never regain its former glory and splendor. It could only hide in a corner where the light could not reach, and survive.

And now, following Wang Jing is the Mohist School’s last chance.

After Tian Si determined the specific structure of Yu Fuluo's golden body, he began to finalize the idea of ​​refining it: "Mo Shi, I will use the Sun and Moon Yin-Yang Technique to mobilize Gengjin and Xinjin Qi to maintain the activity and vitality of the body material. As for the transformation part of Yanjia Technique, it will be left to you."

"Don't worry, this is not the first time I've done this kind of work. I'm very familiar with it."

Moshi seemed very confident. After all, the Twelve Golden Men were a masterpiece created by the joint efforts of the Yin-Yang School and the Mohist School. He was surprised that Tiansi still retained the Yin-Yang School's heritage. He thought silently in his heart: "It is rumored that the members of the mysterious Tiangong are mainly descendants of the Huang-Lao School, the Immortal School, the Yin-Yang School, the Five Elements School, the Medical Skills School, and the Numerology School. It seems that this matter is not groundless."

Confucianism is the only dominant school of thought, but the Hundred Schools of Thought will not sit idly by and wait for death. In order to survive, they have even put aside their previous conflicts and disputes, and have forgotten their past grudges. The core teachings of each school are made public, and through mutual communication, perhaps different sparks and styles will emerge.

It’s a pity that if it cannot be passed on, no matter how wonderful it is, it will only be a brilliant firework that will disappear in a flash.

While his thoughts were racing in his mind, the black lion's hands did not stop. Its pair of claws changed their shapes and turned into various tools used by skilled craftsmen. It began to thoroughly transform Fro's body.

…………

Luoyang City, the residence of the Grand Tutor.

When Yuan Ji learned of Dong Zhuo's victory, he hurried over to tell Yuan Wei: "Uncle, it's not good. Wang Kuang was defeated in Pingyin. The Western Liang army has become more arrogant. Dong Zhuo is even more ambitious and is gradually showing his rebellious intentions towards the Yuan family of Runan."

Yuan Ji was also gritting his teeth in hatred: "This thief Dong is really ungrateful. If it weren't for you, uncle, who saved him from danger and hardship, how could he be where he is today? And Benchu ​​and Gonglu also ignored the overall situation and made the situation so bad!"

The Yuan family of Runan is now in a difficult situation. According to Yuan Wei's original plan, they should be holding the map of mountains and rivers, and use the actions of deposing and enthroning emperors to firmly control power in their hands, so as to implement the grand plan of Confucianism in the world.

In order not to follow in Wang Mang's footsteps, Yuan Wei did not intend to usurp the throne directly like Wang Mang did, but to separate governance from Taoism.

From now on, the emperor will hold the orthodoxy of Taoism, and the Confucians will hold the orthodoxy of governance, truly realizing the grand vision of the emperor and the literati dividing the world.

Of course, the emperor that Yuan Wei and Yuan Ji needed was just a mascot. The real power must be in the hands of the aristocratic families, and the emperor only needed to stamp the document.

In this way, the stability of the existing power structure can be guaranteed, while the aristocratic families can completely grasp power without having to suffer suppression from the emperor.

From now on, the aristocratic family will be a thousand-year-old family. They will replace the will of heaven with their own hearts, and under the favor of heaven, they will live forever and ever, high above everyone else, and become true descendants of heaven.

As for the emperor, he just needs to sit on the dragon throne and act as a mascot.

However, without the imperial seal, he would not be able to truly control the country. Once Liu Xie took power, all the plots of the Yuan family of Runan would be in vain, and they might even face the third Party Persecution.

Dong Zhuo returned with great victory and was full of confidence. He felt that the time had come to take the final step, so he found Li Ru and said, "Wenyou, I want to get rid of the King of Hongnong. Can you help me?"

"what!"

Li Ru was shocked when he heard this: "Grandmaster, is this the only way?"

After all, Liu Bian was the eldest son of the emperor. Deposing the eldest son and enthroning the youngest son was a taboo among the aristocratic families. Now they wanted to kill Liu Bian, which was obviously not a wise move.

What's more, killing the Queen Mother and staying overnight in the palace had already made Sword Saint Wang Yue extremely dissatisfied. Now he wanted to kill Liu Bian, which would inevitably lead to a full-scale conflict with Wang Yue.

After all, Emperor Ling had already had a bad relationship with Empress Dowager He before his death. Wang Yue did not say anything when Empress Dowager He killed Grand Empress Dowager Dong. Dong Zhuo stood up for Dong and dealt with Empress Dowager He in the name of filial piety. What else could Wang Yue do?

But killing Liu Bian obviously touched Wang Yue's bottom line.

But Dong Zhuo had made up his mind: "Why, do you think I'm wrong?"

Li Ru knew that Dong Zhuo was moody and tyrannical, so even though he was a military advisor, he did not dare to persuade him and could only bow his head: "If the Grand Master really wants to do this, I can arrange it. When the time comes, give him a cup of poisoned wine and announce that he died of illness."

"No, I want to do it myself!"

Dong Zhuo had been waiting for this day for a long time in order to sharpen the Hongming Sword in his hand. He had not dared to take action before for fear that Yuan Wei would notice his intention.

At the moment, Yuan Wei was busy looking for the imperial seal. In addition, due to the troubles of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, the Yuan family of Runan was in internal division, and Yuan Wei must have been overwhelmed by it.

This is the best opportunity to get started!

"But what if the Imperial Master comes out to organize? Will the Grand Master start a war in the Imperial Palace? The Grand Tutor still has the Mountain and River State Map in his hand. If the Grand Tutor is forced to join forces with the Imperial Master, the power of the Three Heavenly Swords will be unstoppable in the world."

Li Ru just felt a headache. He really didn't understand why Dong Zhuo did this.

At this time, Lu Bu spoke, with his head held high and his chest puffed out, his tone solemn: "Foster father, Wang Yue will be dealt with by Bu. I have long wanted to learn from the four extremes of martial arts and the supreme saint of Jianzhong."

Dong Zhuo was overjoyed when he heard this, he looked at Lu Bu, and saw that at this moment Lu Bu was surrounded by red and black blood evil aura, and his ghost god fighting body and the magical power of millstone and flowing gold had both been perfected.

"Well, my son Fengxian should have such a heroic spirit."

Rumble~
At the Suzaku Gate of Nangong Palace, Dong Zhuo openly broke in with Lu Bu and a team of armored soldiers, heading straight for the Yong'an Palace with murderous intent.

No guards along the way dared to stop him. Only when he arrived at Yong'an Palace were he stopped by dozens of Iron Scale Guards on duty there: "Grand Master, please stop!"

Now in the huge imperial city, the Iron Scale Guard is the only military force willing to obey the emperor's command. Currently, they have all gathered under Wang Yue's command, and there are less than three hundred people left.

Dong Zhuo had been rampant since entering Luoyang, and had not been rejected in person for a long time. At this moment, he was naturally furious: "Who the hell are you? How dare you stop me?"

"Grandmaster, this is the residence of the King of Hongnong. You come here wearing armor and carrying a sword. What exactly do you want to do?"

Most members of the Tielin Guard are from the royal family, mainly with the surname Liu. Although they are a side branch, they are loyal to the royal family and share the same fate.

Therefore, when faced with a powerful official like Dong Zhuo, they would never give in once their bottom line was touched.

Liu Bian is the eldest son of Emperor Ling and the flesh and blood of the previous emperor. His safety is the bottom line of the Tielin Guards.

Now the arrow was on the string and had to be shot. Dong Zhuo drew his sword without hesitation: "You are treasonous and rebellious, and you deserve death. Kill them!"

The soldiers of Xiliang had no respect for the imperial power. When Dong Zhuo gave the order, they immediately drew their swords and shouted, "Kill!"

"Dong Zhuo, how dare you rebel against the emperor!"

The Tielin Guards were both sad and angry. Finally, the time had come for them to fight to the death. For the sake of the mission they were shouldering, even though they knew they would die, the Tielin Guards who were guarding the Yong'an Palace would fight to the death.

"Go and invite the Imperial Master!"

"Dong is a thief with evil intentions. We must not let him kill King Hongnong!"

Lu Bu brandished his Fang Tian Hua Ji and rushed forward, cursing angrily: "You are a bunch of stubborn people. How dare you disobey the Grand Master? You deserve to be killed!"

The black and red flames on the Fang Tian Huaji were like boiling magma. Wherever it went, weapons were melted and turned into charcoal.

What he displayed was the magical power engraved on Chi You's right arm bone - Rhenium Stone Flowing Gold!
