Pawn Crossing the River

Chapter 197: Journey to Shu (1)

The martial artist in the free stage of heaven and man is to see the state of immortality of gods.

The so-called "meeting gods", which kind of gods are you meeting? To put it bluntly, it is the body and spirit.

As early as the stage of returning to the true state of mind and connecting with the heavens, Wu Fu began to initially condense the body and spirit. When he reached the stage of freedom, he had completed the condensation of all the main acupuncture points in the body. One aperture and one spirit were connected into a whole, which was to "see the spirit" ".

As for "not bad", it is because the acupoints after condensation are incredibly strong.

The inheritance of the five immortals of the Taoist sect has its own connections. Needless to say, there are layers of advancement such as the banished immortals, Qi refiners, and Sanren. In fact, the human immortals represented by Wufu also have many connections with the gods. Why is the previous state of seeing gods indestructible? Does it mean that it connects to the heavens? In short, Shen Shen is also a god, a deity shrunk countless times. In a sense, the condensed acupoints are equivalent to a small divine kingdom, and Shen Shen is the deity in it.

Just seeing that it is difficult for earthly immortals who are also immortals to destroy the divine kingdom of gods, we can understand why they are said to be indestructible. At least under the same level, it is difficult to destroy the martial arts acupoints.

However, the acupoints and body and mind are difficult to destroy, which does not mean that human immortals cannot defeat them. Even human immortals who have reached the stage of immortality have only condensed more than 1,200 main acupoints, and it is impossible to use all the more than 30,000 acupoints. If the condensation is successful, even if the acupoint cannot be destroyed, other places will still be destroyed.

Back then, Xuansheng and Tantaiyun had a fierce battle in the Great Wilderness North Palace. Although Tantaiyun's acupuncture points were not destroyed, other parts of his body could not withstand Xuansheng's offensive. At a glance, Tantai Cloud is like one thousand two hundred light points outlining the outline of a person, and the "filling" between the points disappears, which is particularly weird. But having said that, if it were other immortals, they would have died on the spot, and only immortals could be so strong.

Because of this, although the martial artist in the Xiaoyao stage cannot fly, he is the most resistant to fighting. This is also the reason why Zhang Yuelu did not take advantage of Zhao Fuan. Although earthly immortals are said to be second only to heavenly immortals, they will not be worthy of their name until the stage of immortality. Before that, human immortals are actually stronger. It's just that many times, human immortals suffer from the inability to get close and easily fall into the situation of being beaten blindly.

In this case, Zhao Fuan had an arm broken by Ji Jiaozhen. It can be seen that Ji Jiaozhen is at least one level higher than Zhao Fuan, that is, the immeasurable stage, and is on par with Lei Xiaohuan.

At this level, no matter how indifferent you are, as long as you don't make a big mistake, the Taoist sect will symbolically award you the title of real person.

Some people may say that it is unfair. Those who are promoted based on merit are at a disadvantage. In fact, this is not the case. Not to mention that there are real people above the real people. The competition is very fierce. Even if they are ordinary real people, there are still differences in positions. Chief , second place and nominal positions at the bottom of the ranking are not the same. Many idle real people even have no positions at all. They only have the title of real person, which means that the salary is slightly better. At this level, who cares about that little salary? , all that matters is real power.

Qi Xuansu had considered this before he decided to seek revenge from Zhao Fu'an. After truly completing the "God's Mysterious Jade", he not only became a heavenly being, but also upgraded his other martial arts inheritance and alchemist inheritance to the stage of heavenly beings. , but there is still a problem, that is, these inheritances are incomplete. As an alchemist, he has not condensed his thoughts, and as a martial artist, he has not condensed his body and mind.

As far as martial arts are concerned, Qi Xuan has the physique, vitality, and supernatural powers of a celestial warrior, but he lacks the vital acupoints and body spirit.

In addition to being extremely strong, the acupuncture points and body spirit also play a role in connecting each other.

As we all know, people cannot fully control every piece of their own flesh and blood. Just like an ordinary dynasty, there is a lack of grassroots officials. As a result, the imperial power does not go to the countryside. The court can only use part of the manpower and material resources, and other parts operate according to certain rules. , not changed by the court's ideas.

The acupoints and body spirits of human immortals complement this part of the "basic officials", allowing the "Emperor"'s will to be issued to every corner of the "Empire", implementing the "Emperor's" will, and truly achieving complete control. Use your full strength.

In other words, the 365 acupuncture points of a celestial warrior are 365 tiny centers, which are truly integrated with one's own will, and then radiate from it as the center to the surroundings, assisting the warrior to control every ounce of energy. Be truly meticulous and pave the way for the ever-changing realm, and the supernatural power derived from flesh and blood has also reached a new level. As long as the acupoints are not damaged, no matter how hard the flesh and blood are hit, the acupoints can be used as the core. Quickly restore and reorganize.

The most intuitive manifestation is that Qi Xuansu had an arm broken off by Feng Bo, and still needs to find the broken arm and reconnect it. However, the heavenly warrior no longer needs to break off the arm, and can completely regenerate an arm out of thin air by relying on the acupoints. The principle is that The acupoints are used as points, and the points are connected to form lines to outline the outline. Then the flesh, meridians, and bones are filled into the outline with the magic derived from flesh and blood.

Therefore, it is difficult for Qi Xuansu to challenge the authentic martial arts with only an incomplete martial arts inheritance. And even if the alchemist inheritance without thoughts reaches the stage of heaven and human, it can't be said to have emerged from reality and is still restrained by the true blood of the martial arts.

On the contrary, Qi Xuansu's witchcraft inheritance is relatively complete. He first obtained a large piece of "God's Mysterious Jade" and then used some "Xuanyu" fragments to make up for the missing dharma. Compared with the authentic celestial and human witchcraft, there are at least seven into about complete degree.

So Qi Xuansu thought about it and decided to fight Zhao Fuan with Sanren as the main force and Wu Zhu as the supplement. The key is that Qi Jianyuan gave him great confidence. Since he could slightly defeat Qi Jianyuan in the return to the truth stage, there is no reason why he would On the contrary, he couldn't beat Zhao Fuan in the human stage.

But having said that, having confidence is one thing, not being careless is another. Zhang Yuelu suffered some small losses at the hands of Zhang Fu'an at the beginning, which shows that Zhao Fu'an is by no means a young man with weak foundation and lack of experience like Qi Jianyuan. Qi Xuansu is not the only one in the world who has rich experience. Zhao Fu'an was born in the army and became a general guard officer all the way. He has many experiences in fighting with others and even life and death fights.

Therefore, Qi Xuansu was not blindly arrogant. When they arrived at Shuzhong Mansion, the sky was completely dark. Qi Xuansu and Ji Jiaozhen did not go directly to the General Military Office. Instead, they found a local Taiping Inn to stay temporarily. Then Qi Xuansu asked Ji Jiao Zhen humbly asked for many details of the fight between the two, so that he could calculate with his mind but not his mind, know his enemy and himself, and be invincible in a hundred battles.

It wasn't until early the next morning that the two of them left the Taiping Inn and went straight to the General Military Office in the city.

Logically speaking, the general military officer should be in the barracks. However, peace lasted for a long time and there were few wars. Therefore, the general military officer also built a government office, which was not much different from the military officer on weekdays.

In front of the General Military Office, there is a large square of four acres, which coincides with the meaning of "the imperial court rules the four directions". There is a three-foot-long flagpole with a bucket standing high in the middle of the flat. Facing the two huge stone lions on both sides of the gate and the stone steps, it is majestic due to its spaciousness. Along the two splayed walls on both sides of the stone lions at the gate, there are soldiers. They are lined up against the wall, and their momentum is amazing.

Qi Xuansu and Ji Jiaozhen came to the edge of Daping.

Qi Xuansu looked up at the three-foot-high flagpole with a bucket. He put his hands behind his hands and slowly made fists. Various objects hung on his waist: a horizontal knife, a sutra urn, a hand gun, and a magical weapon.

He had an impulse to break the flagpole directly, but he knew very well that such behavior was provoking the court. Even if he was from the Taoist sect, it would cause a lot of trouble, which was unwise.

Compared with Qi Xuansu's full armor, Ji Jiaozhen was very simple. He didn't even carry a sutra. He just hung a wine gourd around his waist and took a sip from time to time.

The people in black who were guarding the gate had naturally seen these two people who behaved suspiciously, but both of them were dressed as Taoist priests. They were not ordinary people who could be manipulated casually. The people in black were also frightened when they saw the Taoist priests. In Western terms, , this is the clergy class, which not only has a noble status, special status, and extra-legal jurisdiction, but also possesses powerful force. Who dares to provoke it rashly?

In fact, there is nothing we can do about it. Taoist priests possess powerful force and are almost a natural privileged class. This is not the wealth of the rich, the power of officials, nor does it come from blood, but it confirms a simple truth. Big fists are superior to others. .

The Taoist priests' power of force is not only difficult to take away, but also makes the Taoist priests gradually break away from the category of "human beings". They can eat grains and eat energy, fly to the sky and escape from the earth, call the wind and rain, and even the difference between immortals and humans is greater than the difference between humans and monkeys.

There may occasionally be a person with high moral standards who is willing to get along with ordinary people on an equal footing, but the will of his entire class must be above that of all living beings. This is almost impossible to change, because this is the most fundamental human nature. Whoever becomes this Taoist priest will definitely think the same way. This kind of thinking is also simple. I can make you disappear with just one finger. Why should I fight with you? Are you an equal?

Even Xuansheng cannot reverse this will, he can only regulate and restrain it. On the one hand, Taoist priests are given higher status, power and treatment to appease them, on the other hand, they are given missions and responsibilities through moral discipline, and finally, a reward and punishment system guaranteed by strong means is implemented to form a stable order.

In this process, justice is not necessary, fairness is not necessary, stability is overriding.

Therefore, the laws of Taoism are to ensure the interests of the ruling class of Taoism. The entire Taoist priest class is the ruling class of Taoism. Therefore, for all Taoist priests, the law is fair and just.

If you blindly insist on equality based on morality, it will only cause the collapse of order. Wealth and power require order. This kind of personal force needs order the least. When the entire Taoist class loses control, the huge power it unleashes is enough to destroy an empire. At that time, it will not be the Taoist priests who have powerful weapons who will suffer, but ordinary people.

Therefore, the emperors of the past dynasties only wanted to control the Taoist sect and never thought of destroying the Taoist sect.

In this way, the relationship between the entire Taoist priest class and ordinary people becomes that between gods and believers. Believers offer incense to the gods, and the gods provide protection and protection to the believers. Both parties get what they need. Even in a sense, the existence of secret societies and other cults has deepened the necessity and legitimacy of Taoism.

The more important point is not to block the connection between the two classes, not to establish any barriers, and not to just think about taking advantage of it for generations to come. Let ordinary people also enter the Taoist class through various channels, and the Wanxiang Taoist Palace will be It is a great proof. To put it mildly, ordinary people are not afraid of having a piece of sky above their heads. What they are afraid of is not being able to see hope. What they are afraid of is not being able to find the steps to reach the sky. Let people think about it.
