Red Heart Survey

Gong Bai is a native of Luo country. When he was fifty-three years old, he became Shenlin by chance.

Of course, this "coincidence" process is not so gentle.

Snakes have snake ways, rats have rat ways, and different people have their own ways.

The common people rely on the mountains to eat the mountains and the water to eat the water. He is in the country of Luo, of course he eats the aquatic people.

Known as the "Land of Water", the country of Luo is the country that best embodies the contradictions of the human and aquatic tribes, and it is also the country that the aquatic tribes are most hostile to.

Every time the meeting of the Yellow River is held, the old dragon in the Changhe Dragon Palace will dress up in rich clothes and sit on the viewing platform to watch the ceremony honestly.

The Zhuangguo Qingjiang Shui Clan has fully surrendered to the Zhuang Ting, the Yongguo Lanhe Shui Mansion has always fought for the Yong Ting, and the Weihe Shui Clan is a powerful force of the Qin Army... This is common in all parts of the world.

The covenant between the human race and the water race has been signed in the Middle Ages. It has been in existence until now, and the two sides are very close, and they are friends rather than enemies.

In the context of hundreds of thousands of years of harmonious coexistence of the human and aquatic tribes, or the overall surrender of the aquatic tribe to the human race, what happened here in Luo Kingdom may not be called "contradictions."

The contradiction is at least a mutual relationship, and Luo Guo's side should be said to be unilateral bullying of the Shui people.

Everyone in Luo Kingdom knows how to swim, and everyone knows how to maneuver a boat.

Luo country's monks are also generally proficient in water-traversing Taoism-not so much proficiency in water-traveling Taoism, it is more appropriate to say that they are proficient in "Taoism against the water tribe".

In the country of Luo, selling Shui tribe slaves is almost a semi-open business. And this is expressly prohibited in many places.

It even goes so far as to say that the slave business is a business prohibited by the law——

Once upon a time, it wasn't uncommon either.

The enslavement of one group of people to another has run through the history of the human race.

Before one of the emperor's eight ministers, the former sage Bingwu known as "Bing Zu", stood up, "extraordinary monks" and "ordinary people" were almost regarded as species in two worlds.

At that time, many people who were born to open the pulse saw themselves as humans and humans as apes.

Later, there was the pulse of energy and blood, and the art of military strategism... It was the power gathered by countless ordinary people that brought the extremely dark ancient era to an end.

Of course, until now, there are still many people who are stronger than others, wiser than others, and richer than others, and they do not treat others as human beings. But it is impossible for this to become the mainstream view, it does not conform to the moral concepts of the world, and it violates the laws of various countries...Anyone with insight can stand up for justice because of this. For example, when Jiang Wang tortured Ge Heng in Qingyang Town, this is the righteousness.

In this world, there was a country that openly sold human slaves, and it rose rapidly relying on the huge benefits of human trafficking.

Later, Han Shentu, Wu Bingji, Gongsun Buhai, and the three true kings of the Three Punishment Palaces joined forces to destroy their country, and then this trend was suppressed.

For example, in the arenas that are prevalent in the Northern Territory, slaves were widely used to fight to the death at the beginning.

Nowadays, except for the death row prisoners, most of the fighters voluntarily sign contracts with the arena and receive corresponding rewards. Slaves are not allowed.

The only situation where there are still human slaves is the prisoners of war after the war between nations.

There have always been some people who have firmly opposed the war, adhering to the concept that "it is unjust for all countries to fight each other, and the rituals and music will collapse from then on". One of the very important reasons is that the experience of the prisoners of war makes people "still in a trance in ancient times". (See "Strange Tales from the Four Seas")

Of course, alien races such as the Monster Race, Sea Race, and Shura Race are not within the scope of legal protection, nor are they subject to the moral constraints within the Human Race.

So in the wolf arena, you can still see the death fights that the monster race participated in.

Back to the country of Luo.

Luo State is just a small country, adjacent to Zhuang and Yong, and the blank area formed between the three countries is the place where the City of Unredemption stands later.

Among the three countries surrounding the City of Unredeemed, Luo Country has always been the last one. In history, there are Fuyongling Villages, and there are also Lianzhuang and Yongling Villages. The east wind and the west wind always blow with the wind.

It stands to reason that the Luo Kingdom does not have that strength, and can half-openly commit taboos and become enemies of the world's water tribes.

Of course there are complicated reasons behind this, but the most important reason is that the current aquarium is not a whole.

Lord Changhe Dragon claims to rule over the world's water tribes, but in fact he can only control his Dragon Palace.

The aquariums of the Wei River belonged to Qin, and the aquariums of the Qingjiang River belonged to Zhuang... Even where the long river passes, every section has its own country. There is absolutely no room for Changhe Dragon Palace to intervene.

Luo Guo never provokes those backed aquariums, and they always "hunt" in some wild lakes and wild waters. Of course, "poaching" in Qingjiang, Lanhe and other places has also happened in history. After all, money touches people's hearts.

Gong Bai, who is cultivated in the presence of a god, is the Salt Transport Envoy of the capital of Luo Kingdom.

As the yamen that controls the economic lifeline of the Luo Kingdom, this department is called "Salt Transport", and what is actually transferred is almost an open secret.

In the small country of Luo, Gong Bai's status can be regarded as just under one person, extremely honorable. But looking at the world, he knows his own family affairs and can clearly understand them.

In recent years, Zhuang and Yong have continued to move, expanding expansion and reforming reforms. Luo Guo is small and weak, showing weakness at both ends, but he still can only rely on his laurels.

Although the slave business can be regarded as a no-cost business, under the current situation, the upper limit is very low.

Buying and selling human race is a taboo, the biggest benefit but the least dare to touch it.

Looting the Monster Race, Sea Race, Shura Race... I don't have that ability.

It is becoming more and more unsustainable to start only targeting aquariums.

One is that the number of aquariums "in the wild" is limited, and it is becoming more and more limited. The second is that for at least three hundred years, there is no possibility of openly trading Aquarium slaves.

Semi-open means that in many cases, if others turn a blind eye to it, your business will be successful. If other people keep both eyes open, your business cannot be done.

Luo Guo certainly has his own ability to survive, but that's all, and he touched the ceiling early.

The State of Luo needs a new way out, and Gong Bai also needs a new way out.

After the large-scale expansion of the Illusory Realm began, Gong Bai keenly saw the opportunity and enthusiastically devoted himself to it.

Especially the blessed land system, let him see that it may be the only possibility to contact the blessed land in this life!

Although it is not possible for him to have a hole, it is a different world if he walks a few steps forward at the level of God's presence.

The only problem is that he failed to catch up with the best time, and he didn't have the slightest confidence in himself when Fudi's challenge qualification required competition.

But he also has his way.

A while ago, an extremely vile "human alchemy" scandal broke out in Dan country. Zhang Xun, the proud man of Dan country, died in the incident, and Luo Zhongmin, the heavenly alchemist who led the human alchemy incident, was tortured and killed in public by Gongsun Buhai, the head of the punishment palace. .

The lord of the Dan Kingdom, the Prime Minister, and seventeen other high-ranking officials of the Dan Kingdom were also escorted to Tianxingya after the public trial. What awaits them is a long sentence.

Such a huge alchemy country fell apart overnight.

Of course, it was only the royal family of Dan Kingdom that collapsed, only the imperial court of Dan Kingdom.

There is a joint organization, which rises from the ruins of Danting, and it is called "Yuanshi Danmeng".

It unified the major forces in the country of alchemy and controlled all channels of elixirs.

In the future, the production of elixir in the Dan Kingdom will basically be determined by Yuanshi Danmeng.

It can be said that the Yuanshi Dan League is the highest governing body in Dandi today. Compared with a state power, it is more like a pure chamber of commerce.

The allies are also those from the original alchemy kingdom, most of them are alchemists.

But the power behind every alchemist is not difficult for people to see their footsteps.

These "supporters" seem to be of all kinds. Basically, they rushed to the scene as soon as possible after the Rendan incident. Heroes from all walks of life who uphold justice, punish evil and promote good.

Of course, Qin, Jing and Chu took the lead, dividing up the positions of one leader and two deputy leaders, and the rest of the participants, such as Song, Wei, Mount Sumeru, and Nandoudian, also ate some scatteredly. A lot of precious prescriptions were scattered.

The so-called one whale falls, all things live.

The kingdom of Dan has collapsed, and these are the only ones who can eat fat?

Even Gong Bai, who was far away in the country of Luo, took advantage of the lax control of pills in the pill country during the period when the great powers divided the pill country, and spent a lot of money to buy pills at low prices.

This business made him a lot of money.

Among them were twenty boiled blood green pills, which he specially prepared for the blessed land's challenge.

The forbidden technique of the Chu Dynasty, Boiling Blood and Burning Soul, has a great reputation, and it is a forbidden technique that is desperate for life. Boiling blood Qingdan is made by imitating its principle.

Of course, taking this pill will definitely cause irreversible damage to the body while temporarily increasing the combat power.

But what kind of place is too illusory?

All simulations can be attributed to "illusion".

Gong Bai expended a lot of energy to re-engrave the Boiling Blood Qingdan into the Illusory Realm. After taking it, he could gain the short-term power in the Illusory Realm without damaging the real body. Even the boiling blood green pill was not consumed!

This is simply a genius feat, which allowed him to win the qualification to challenge the blessed land in one fell swoop, and successfully won the Donghaishan blessed land-there were not many participants in the too illusory realm before, especially the participants at the level of the gods. And every bit of skill is precious, many people are too poor to start the Sword Discourse Arena. There is a man named Dugu Wudi, who has never re-engraved the saber into the illusory realm.

It takes a lot of work to reproduce the pill, far better than a famous sword. If it is used on the Sword Discourse Arena, even if it wins, the loss outweighs the gain. So no one ever thought of this.

According to the current Blessed Land challenge rules, if there are multiple people participating in the Blessed Land challenge at the same time, these people need to face off in pairs, and the strongest one who is determined in the end will be qualified to challenge the Blessed Land Seventy-two East Sea Mountain.

At the same time, Gong Bai met eleven people to participate in the blessed land challenge, and twenty boiled blood green pills were enough for him to chew till the end.

Therefore, with his insufficient strength, he won various benefits of the blessed land in the East China Sea.

It's a pity that there is still a broken rule in the challenge of the blessed land in the illusory realm - as the gatekeeper of the last blessed land, after winning the ownership of the blessed land for the first time, he must guard the blessed land again in order to be eligible to challenge upwards.

Otherwise, he should have taken medicine and went to Mount Lu today.

The blessed land of the seventy-first place is definitely better than the seventy-second place.

But then again, after experiencing the effects of the Boiling Blood Green Pill, his confidence in himself has increased too much. During this month, he successively bought the Red-patterned Vajra Pill, the Six-Color Spirit Body Pill, and the Evil Yang Tiger Soul Pill, and entered the Illusory Realm again.

This is the elixir that he has determined will not conflict with each other after several experiments.

These three kinds of elixirs can respectively strengthen his physique, movement skills, and soul in a short period of time.

The Boiling Blood Qingdan brings an all-round increase in combat power through irreversible damage.

Therefore, when Gong Bai, who was "fully armed", met an extremely handsome man named Dugu Invincible, his mood was calm, even a little ironic.

After swallowing the four elixir pills, the Red-grained Vajra Pill, the Six-Color Spirit Body Pill, the Evil Yang Hupo Pill, and the Boiling Blood Green Pill, his spirit, energy, and spirit rose to a peak that he had never felt before. In this state, he , and even dared to challenge Xue Mingyi, the Marquis of Yong Kingdom!

Who dares to be called invincible?

Even lonely?

"How many competitors did you win to win this challenge?" In order to better digest the medicine, Gong Bai asked a question before the official battle started.

At this moment, he smelled that his breath was sweet, and every breath he exhaled was filled with strength... Satisfying.

Jiang Wang was a little surprised, but only "somewhat". The state of the opponent in front of him was a little weird. The power is massive and messy. Like a whining kettle, ready to flip the lid at any moment.

He was even worried that if he shot slowly, the person in front of him would blow up.

He replied casually: "Six or seven, I didn't pay much attention."

He has never experienced the threshold of the blessed land challenge before, and this is the first time he knows that he needs to defeat some competitors in order to win the opportunity to challenge the blessed land.

But it was not difficult for him, and the process was even a bit boring. Many people are not as good as Bai Yuxia in the Inner Palace, who can bring him surprises. Bai Yuxia can at least give him a lot of inspirations in battle. And these opponents have the power of divine presence, and their tactics are too old-fashioned and lack of originality. It can't be said to be weak, but for Marquis Wu'an, who has been fed up with Qi Guoshu Academy, there is really nothing to report.

So in the qualifying round of the Fudi Challenge, he was only studying his own combat system throughout the whole process, and didn't care too much about his opponent.

Gong Bai frowned, feeling that the matter was not simple.

Last month, including him, there were only twelve people competing for the Blessed Land challenge. This month, more than sixty-four people have participated in the competition, which shows that the number of participants in the Illusory Realm is indeed increasing day by day.

And this Dugu Invincible can stand out among so many people, and his strength may also be expected to be higher.

"That's it..." Gong Bai raised his hand to cover his mouth, yawned, and sent in another three boiled blood green pills.

The whole person turned red all of a sudden, and hot blood began to surge up.

Swallowing seven pills into my stomach, my life is up to me!

"ah!"

He also didn't care about chatting anymore, the power on his body was too huge, and he urgently needed to vent. With a sudden opening of his mouth, a fire dragon roared out, burning through the air, and charged straight at the opponent!

But he only saw one palm lifted up, and the fire dragon he spewed out...was directly extinguished.

And beside his ears, his own roar sounded—that "ah!"

The sound of the knife cracking the voice pattern suddenly hit his ear.

Fortunately, with the protection of the red-striped vajra pill, there was only pain and no injury.

"hiss!"

He gasped.

But it is this "hiss" sound that also separates the sword of the voice pattern, the sword cuts the lips and tongue!

The rivers and seas are in the ear, and the heavenly palace is making a fuss in the mouth.

That sound became a knife, a spear, a sword, and a halberd. The more they fought, the more they split, and the more they cut, the more they cut.

Gong Bai forcibly swallowed a muffled groan, forcibly silenced the sound, and opened his mouth to spit out the two broken teeth and the voiceprint sword energy together.

His face was flushed, his face was bulging with blue veins, and his huge strength was like a raging flame, burning out of his body!

Under this strange savaka killing method, he did not dare to fight for a long time. Determined to use the enormous power of the elixir to crush the eggs and overthrow the opponent in one fell swoop!

Under the effect of the six-color spiritual body pill, his speed was so fast that he could hardly control it himself.

People are like a flash of light, and with just a flash, they passed Dugu Wudi.

Fortunately, Dugu Invincible caught up immediately...

At this time, Gong Bai's mind was full of power to vent, he took a pair of water thorns, his body turned like a streamer, spraying hoarfrost on his seven orifices.

But see on the sword stage. The two streamers chased each other and circled around at high speed.

There is hoarfrost crushed by sword energy, like fog.

The two sides have entered the stage of full-scale contact, fighting each other every inch of the way. In this state, Gong Bai can freely use the power of the pill, every move is full of medicinal power, and he is not afraid of consumption at all.

But soon he felt uncomfortable.

The discomfort did not lie in the negative feedback brought by the pill itself, but in that every movement of his seemed to be predicted! The opponent's swordsmanship doesn't look very good, but he has a good fighting cognition and extremely agile skills, and every sword can cut at the most uncomfortable pass for him.

And that damn voice!

Every time there is a collision, he has to deliberately control the sound. But the opponent is humming and haggling endlessly. The attacks triggered by the sound are continuous like a sea tide and getting stronger and stronger!

He seemed to be broken into by the enemy when he was squatting in the hut, and he didn't lift his trousers, nor did he lift his trousers, he was in a dilemma.

Simply ignite the dao yuan, burn the qi and blood, and release the spiritual knowledge!

He felt like he was exploding!

Under the effect of the Evil Yang Tiger Soul Pill, his spiritual power is already terrifying, and the battle related to spiritual knowledge, even at the level of God's Presence, is quite a sublime skill.

With this spirit to crush the opponent, do you think there will be a chance?

This is a one-strength drop for ten sessions, and taking a pill to relieve thousands of worries!

He felt that his power was being raised, almost infinitely higher, and he had touched a certain boundary that he had never reached before.

But at the highest point of the momentum, suddenly there was a sword, and it was wiped lightly on the forehead.

Gong Bai suddenly felt a ray of coolness amidst the ever-expanding power of physical body, power of Dao Yuan, and power of soul, and in the power of ever-expanding powerful delusion.

He felt like a ruptured air bag, constantly leaking air, puff puff... quickly shriveled up.

This sword not only wiped the key point where his physical strength expanded, but also cut off the key node where his spiritual power expanded... Such a terrifying sword! Why did such a character come to the Realm of Illusion now?

And the day to come, the day to come...

At the last moment when consciousness dissipated, Gong Bai comforted himself so much.

When he leaves next month, it is unknown if I will make a comeback.

Wouldn't everyone be alone and invincible?

In the last chapter, it was mentioned that "the profound mirror alone can learn from the gods, and the gods are clear", which comes from Cao Zhi's "Ode to Xuegong".

A book friend mentioned another version, "The Profound Mirror Serves as a Lesson, and the Gods Are Clear", and the name is "Ode to Academic Officials".

There are indeed two versions on the Internet. The difference lies in "independence" and "job", "gong" and "official".

Personally, I think the former is more accurate, because xuanjing already means bright mirror, and "jian" in "dujian" is used as a verb, which can be interpreted as "photo". Then the mysterious mirror alone can be interpreted as the bright mirror alone.

In "Zuo Jian", "Jian" can only be a noun. A bright mirror is used as a mirror, which cannot be explained.

Secondly, there were academic officials in the Eastern Han Dynasty, doctors of the Five Classics, doctors offering wine, etc., and their grades were not considered high. In Cao Zhi's capacity, there is no need to go to praise the school officials, it is more appropriate to praise the school.

Again, this article is Cao Zhi's article praising Confucius. After the Han Dynasty, Confucius was already a sage and the teacher of all ages. It is not respectful enough to replace him with a "student official". It is relatively reasonable to start the topic of eulogizing Confucius with the palace of eulogy.

To sum up, I chose the version of "Xuan Jing Du Jian".

This paragraph of text does not affect the reading of the main text, nor does it involve Chixin's worldview at all. It is here to discuss with readers.

Good afternoon, everyone.
