Taiping Inn

The integration of the three religions is the general trend. Over the years, the three schools have been communicating with each other and gradually becoming indistinguishable from each other. Reading

Nanhua Daojun once said that there are swords for the emperor and swords for the emperor in the world.

The sword is made of the national tools of the world, and is made with the five elements and judged by punishment and virtue; it is opened with yin and yang, held in spring and summer, and carried out in autumn and winter. Straight without front, raised without top, without bottom, operated without side, above the clouds, below the earth.

Although Nanhua Daojun is a Taoist and the ancestor of the right way, his status in Taoism is similar to that of the sub-sage of Confucianism, but Confucianism does not reject the theory of Nanhua tools, and even develops on its basis, just like the great sage asked the Supreme Daoist Ancestor for the way.

Old Man Long raised his right hand high, keeping the posture of holding the hilt of the sword and slashing it down with a sword. His whole arm trembled slightly, and every movement was extremely difficult, as if he was pushing a mountain with the power of a mortal, very slowly.

But it is also because of this that the rebirth momentum and the infinite momentum are born on the sword.

Except for the special functions of the immortal objects such as "The Chess Game of the World", the rest of the immortal objects can be roughly divided into two categories. One is to store the qi by itself, such as "Yin Yang Immortal Clothes", "Three Treasures Ruyi", "Chuan Guo Xi", and "Tian Shi Yin". The other is to resonate with other things with the help of external forces, such as "Knock on the Heavenly Gate", "Tian Shi Male and Female Swords", and "Su Wang" is also in this category.

The two punishment pillars on the demon-suppressing platform corresponding to the "Tian Shi Male and Female Swords" are connected to the demon-suppressing well cave. The demon-suppressing well cave will continuously absorb the qi of the prisoners in the cave, making them in a weak state, which can not only suppress the prisoners, but also make the qi of the punishment pillars continuous. I have to admire the ingenious idea of ​​Zu Tianshi.

"Knock on the Heaven's Gate" has the greatest spirit, resonates with the heaven and earth, and has no upper limit in theory. However, it is precisely because the heaven and earth are too big and are ownerless that how much you can use depends on your own ability. This is why the power of "Knock on the Heaven's Gate" is closely related to the sword master. If the realm is too low, it is not even as good as many top treasures. Even if you have entered the realm of immortality, you are not as good as the "Heavenly Master's Male and Female Swords". At least you have to reach the Yuanying Wonderful Realm to compete with it, and you have to reach the first disaster earth immortal to gradually surpass the "Heavenly Master's Male and Female Swords".

In terms of the upper limit, "Su Wang" is between the two. When Elder Long went to the Saint's Mansion to take away "Su Wang", Mrs. Jiang once said that "Su Wang" can only be held by people with virtue. This is not a false statement, but the word "virtue" in this statement is not the invisible personal morality, but the virtue of the emperor and the saint, or the luck and destiny.

In fact, it is indeed only Elder Long who can barely use "Su Wang".

Confucianism has always had the saying of three immortals, which are: establishing virtue, establishing merit, and establishing words. The most important thing is to establish virtue, the next is to establish merit, and the next is to establish words. These are the three immortals. Establishing virtue means creating laws and helping the people. Establishing merit means saving people from disasters and difficulties, and making contributions to the times. Establishing words means speaking the key points and having enough principles to be passed on.

Among the three immortals, "establishing virtue" ranks first. However, establishing virtue is not personal morality, but establishing certain moral norms, promoting them in the world, and educating all living beings. The first to be recommended are the four saints of Confucianism, the Great Sage and the First Teacher, the Second Sage, the Sage of Neo-Confucianism, and the Sage of Mind. The second is "establishing merit", saving lives from fire and water, saving the people from hanging, supporting the building when it is about to fall, and turning the tide when it has already fallen. Famous officials of all dynasties can be classified into this category.

The last is "establishing words", that is, moral articles, because the first two are often beyond the ability of a scholar, so literati always regard "establishing words" as the first priority in order to achieve immortality, which is the great cause of governing the country and an immortal event. Life has its end, and happiness and glory are limited to one's own body. These two things are inevitable, but not as endless as writing. Therefore, the ancient authors put their lives into writing and expressed their ideas in books. They did not rely on the words of good historians or the momentum of flying, but their reputations were passed down to later generations.

From this point of view, the "Su Wang" sword is just as its name suggests, it is prepared for the Su Wang of Confucianism. After the death of the sage of the heart school, no one can "establish virtue", and naturally no one can maintain it.

However, Mr. Long took a different approach. In addition to the three immortals, there are also the four sentences of Hengqu, a Confucian sage, which represent the four aspirations of Confucian people and can also be regarded as "virtue". Similar to the great aspirations of Buddhism, it can also stimulate the "Su Wang".

Elder Long used this method, but the four "great aspirations" vary from person to person. For Elder Long, "establishing a life for the people" and "opening peace for the world" are not in line with his own way, so he had to give up. "establishing a heart for heaven and earth" can only be regarded as average, but "inheriting the unique knowledge of the past sages" is very consistent with him, because he is the gatekeeper of Confucianism, and protecting Confucianism can also be regarded as protecting the inheritance of the saints' doctrines.

In this regard, Li Xuandu is exactly the opposite of Elder Long. If he is asked to activate the "Su Wang", the great aspirations he made must be "establishing a life for the people" and "opening peace for the world", but "inheriting the unique knowledge of the past sages" is incompatible with Li Xuandu.

Because of this, Elder Long skipped the second sentence of Hengqu's four sentences, "establishing a life for the people", and the power of the second sword is far better than the first sword.

The power of "Tianshi Male and Female Swords" comes from the Demon-Suppressing Well Cave Heaven, while the power of "Suwang" comes from the dragon vein. In a sense, "Suwang" and the great formation of the Imperial Capital City are similar in nature, except that one focuses on attack and the other focuses on defense.

After the Second Imperial Capital Incident, the control of the great formation of the Imperial Capital City fell into the hands of the Confucian School. With the precedent of Li Xuandu breaking the formation, the Confucian School would certainly not remain indifferent. In the past two months, the people of the Confucian School have not been idle. They have completely cleaned up the North Dragon line, removed all the ambushes that the Earth Master had set, repaired the incomplete landforms, and restored the smooth flow of the North Dragon.

From the beginning to the end, the shrewd old man Long never thought of trapping Li Xuandu through the ancient formation of Qixia Mountain. The reason is very simple. The Great Immortal Mansion was not trapped, and the Imperial Capital City was not trapped either. How could a mere Qixia Mountain defeat the Great Immortal Mansion and the Imperial Capital City? He simply turned from defense to offense, and connected Qixia Mountain with the Five Elements Mountain with the formation to gather dragon energy.

So there was a sword at this time.

Dragon energy is both earth energy and has a certain relationship with the vague and unknowable destiny of luck. The so-called destiny is possessed by everyone, from one person and one family to a country and one place, where people's hearts gather and people's hearts go.

For a country and one place, Liaodong is like the rising sun, and Dawei is like the setting sun.

For a sect and a school, Confucianism and Taoism also have a thousand years of heritage, and their destiny is like the abyss, unfathomable, but the Taoist sect has gradually become prosperous, and gradually has a golden appearance, while the Confucian sect has declined from its peak and is getting worse and worse.

But then again, whether it is the Wei Dynasty or the Confucian School, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Not to mention that it is far from dying, even if it has reached the point where its luck has run out, its luck is so strong that it cannot be compared with ordinary people.

Therefore, this sword is not inferior to Li Xuandu's fourth-level "Taiyi Fa Jue", but has the momentum of crushing withering and rotten.

Among the five innate Tai, the first attack is the "Taiyi Fa Jue". The fourth-level "Taiyi Fa Jue" is almost the ultimate attack of the longevity realm. The higher level is the means of the first-level and second-level earthly immortals, but it is still no match for the "Su Wang". It can be seen that the "Su Wang" sword is terrifying.

The invisible "Su Wang" sword edge intersects with the muddy waves of the "Taiyi Fa Jue", breaking through the waves, stirring up countless ripples and spreading to the surroundings.

The light and dark between heaven and earth are constantly changing, like the ebb and flow of the tide.

Both the Confucian and Taoist sides changed their colors and retreated one after another.

With such a might, anyone who encounters it will either die or get injured, so no one dares to be careless.

However, because the "Su Wang" is too "big" and "heavy", its speed is slightly slow. Although it has the power to crush everything, it will take some time to completely separate the rolling tide formed by the "Tai Yi Fa Jue".

In addition, Old Man Long had been severely injured by the third level of "Tai Yi Fa Jue" before, and forcibly controlling the "Su Wang" at this time was also a great burden for himself. After all, it was not a human immortal body or a Shinto golden body, and it had already shown signs of crumbling.

I saw that Old Man Long quickly aged, his black hair turned white again, and his tall body became hunched and short again. In a blink of an eye, he could no longer maintain his true body of rejuvenation, and turned back into the appearance of a land god.

At this point, the situation was very clear. After both of them used their last resort, they were all exhausted. It depended on who could hold on longer. For now, Elder Long still had the upper hand. If nothing unexpected happened, he could kill Li Xuandu with his sword before he could no longer hold on.

It was a great irony that the world's number one swordsman died under the sword of the Confucian sect.

Thinking of this, Elder Long, whose face was already covered with blood, smiled faintly.

Although the heavy price paid this time was somewhat beyond his expectations, the overall direction was not much different. As long as Li Xuandu was killed, everything would be worth it. Only Qin Qing was left. Even if the Wei court could not be saved, the Confucian sect was qualified enough to bargain with Liaodong. Even if the dynasty changed, even if some interests were given up, the foundation of the Confucian sect was still there. In time, the world would still belong to the Confucian sect.

But sometimes, the most feared thing in the world is the word "accident".

Although Li Xuandu did not expect that Elder Long would turn the ancient formation of Qixia Mountain from defense to offense, he also made certain arrangements, with Xu San as the leader, Zhuge Zuan, Lu Shiying, Xu Shisan and others as the assistants, and a large number of Taiping Sect disciples, Yinyang Sect disciples, and Qi Wangfu followers obeying orders, and ambushing on the line of Qixia Mountain's earth energy. If the situation changes, Xu San and others can "cut off the flow" of earth energy, which has the effect of cutting off the firewood from the bottom of the pot.

This is the power of power. If you are alone, you don't have to take responsibility and you can be free and easy, but when you encounter such a thing, you can't do anything and can only sit and wait for death.

Although the Confucian School also has defenses, from Qixia Mountain to Wuxing Mountain, it is more than a thousand miles, how can you defend it all? Prepare in front and few in the back, prepare in the back and few in the front, prepare on the left and few on the right, prepare on the right and few on the left, prepare everywhere and few everywhere, and you can only defend a few key nodes. Moreover, in the view of Confucianism, the earth's energy is as surging as a great river. When can anyone cut off a great river?
