Chapter 53 Perfection of Water and Fire

Chapter 53 Perfection of Water and Fire

Zhang Duxiao passed away.

Most deaths are not spectacular. They may die after eating and sitting for a while; they may also suffer from a serious illness and die in endless pain and wailing.

Zhang Duxiao visited a family and reminisced about old times, and on the way back, he foresaw death.

There are no inspiring quotes before death. Thousands of words can be said, but no regrets. This is a good death.

Some people may find it abrupt, but who is well prepared for death?

yuelu Mountain.

Upon hearing the news of Zhang Duxiao's death, Xu Xuan lost consciousness for a moment, and the tea in the cup gradually became cold.

"What are Zhang Duxiao's last words?" Xu Xuan looked at Li Changsheng.

"The Heavenly Master said, "I'm going."

"Haha, that's quite cool. Master Tian didn't like extravagance when he was alive, so just bury him in Yuelu Mountain."

"yes!"

The funeral was very simple. The coffin was left in the coffin for a few days while the Celestial Master's clan members came over and held a ceremony before being buried.

The tomb is buried in the back hill not far from Wangxiang Tower.

Xu Xuan did not show up during the whole process, but wrote an elegiac couplet and sent it.

night.

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and the magpies are flying south.

There is a wooden tombstone on the small grave, and the faint moonlight shines, revealing the number of Zhang Duxiao's tomb.

Xu Xuan stood beside the tomb, silent.

The pursuit of immortality is destined to be a person's journey. If you can only move forward by yourself, others will be left behind.

As for taking out the spirit stones and sharing them with others?

This is impossible, one's own cultivation is not enough, and the result of sharing can only be grass growing on the graves of both parties.

The Qi nourishing period is just a minion level in the Mirror Realm, while the Qi training period is considered a bigger minion.

As his Taoism deepened, Xu Xuan had a vague feeling of reaching the upper limit.

Could it be that the upper limit of Qi refining has been reached, and the world will send down punishment from heaven?

Or expel yourself from the world and start a new reincarnation.

Due to the unknown future, Xu Xuan will seize all the spirit stones.

Xu Xuan would only share a few spiritual stones unless he was truly sure of the way forward and ensured that he would not encounter any risks.

Besides, it's not that they don't benefit from it. In the past, martial arts masters were ordinary skill masters. Now, with the addition of Qi and Blood methods, masters also have power beyond normal people.

Now that Huang Ting Neijing's magic is available, his strength will be even higher.

Wow!

Xu Xuan rose into the sky, rose high into the sky, looked at the full moon, and leaned back.

Since he perfected the art of soaring, Xu Xuan likes this feeling of flying more and more. This is the most beautiful dream of mankind. Countless literati in this world have described the scene of traveling in the air.

For thousands of years, he alone has accomplished this feat.

I am the only immortal, I am the only one who is supreme.

Half an hour later, dark clouds covered the full moon, and Xu Xuanfei looked back at the inside of Xiang Tower.

In the future, more and more comrades will leave. I must carry their hopes and go forward step by step.

Red flames burned blazingly, gold and stone melted inside the stone cauldron, and a strange medicinal fragrance emitted.

The vast resources of the entire world will definitely allow you to achieve breakthroughs in Qi training.

Spring passed and autumn came. This year, Xu Xuan was forty years old.

Jiangnan, Jinling.

Xu Yong, Emperor Chang of the Han Dynasty, who was nearly forty years old, grew a goatee and his temperament became more stable.

He was writing a letter to Xu Xuan, telling about the Taoist priests in Beidi who had their heads shaved and changed their clothes. Some of the Taoist priests who resisted were killed, while others chose to obey because of the high official salary. Changguo sent spies to contact those Taoist priests who resisted.

The other thing is that Xu Yong is very confused now.

"Since taking the throne, my younger brother has taken the title of Hanchang, which means Hu Wuren, which means Han Daochang. In some areas, there are always barbarians desperately resisting Hanization, only to increase their killings. Some people hide deeper and plot secretly. Some people Flee to the north, or Tubo, to make Tubo stronger and stronger..."

A few years after he succeeded, Xu Yong killed more than a million barbarians. He was probably the emperor who killed the most people in history, and they were also his own subjects.

Because a lot of forces have been allocated to rectify the country, the north has been in a state of confrontation and has been unable to make the Northern Expedition.

Xu Yong wanted to simply grant them the power of chieftain first, and then slowly liquidate them after the world was unified.

Soon, the envelope followed the fast horse to Changsha.

After writing the letter, Xu Yong called Li Anbang and asked, "How is the situation?"

"Your Majesty, a small number of aristocratic families are willing to reform, teach simplified Chinese, and learn science. Some aristocratic families have verbally agreed, and even privately only teach the Four Books and Five Classics in official schools. My subordinates have obtained evidence that they have colluded with the Tatars in the north and intend to rebel. ”

"Very well, let's send out troops. They should be punished and killed. When dealing with cynics and slaves, they should be killed with thunder, so that their disciples and descendants will not harm the country in the future!"

"yes!!"

Not only barbarians, Xu Xuan also killed Confucian scholars, especially Confucianism during the Song and Ming Dynasties, which Xu Yong characterized as "cynics" and "slavish Confucianism". The school either took the initiative to reform or waited for the butcher's knife to fall, which can be said to have "slaughtered millions of people in the south of the Yangtze River" "Soldier", he was more cruel than Qin Shihuang in the eyes of some Confucian scholars.

Meanwhile, a battle royale breaks out in Northland.

A group of Taoist priests with feather crowns and robes holding weapons and riding fast horses, covered in blood, fled south.

"Follow! Follow! It will be safe when we reach Xiangyang!"

The middle-aged Taoist priest headed by him is the successor of the Northern Great Sect, and his Taoist name is Xuanzhen.

Originally, the barbarians occupied the north. As monks, they had no way to resist, and the barbarians did not bother them. So the two sides lived in peace and pretended that there were no barbarians.

A few months ago, everything changed.

Suddenly a Sun Tianshi appeared, claiming to be the master of Tai Dao and the national master of Qianguo. He was the orthodox Five Dou Rice Sect from a thousand years ago.

That would be fine, but the key is that this guy wants to promote shaving hair and changing clothes, which many Taoists can't stand.

Whoosh!

Another round of arrows shot three disciples to death, and one of the arrows pierced Xuan Zhen's cheek.

"Haha, Master, you should surrender!"

Behind the group was a team of cavalrymen, who were wearing Taoist robes, with shiny foreheads and braids behind their heads.

"Evil beasts, you have forgotten your ancestors, and God will punish you!" Xuan Zhen's eyes were red.

In the last days of the law, many disciples of the Taoist sect were unsettled, and becoming monks was just to avoid taxes, or to take the shortcut of Zhongnan Mountain to get close to dignitaries.

This time, the barbarians threw out an olive branch, and these people immediately emerged, and only fifty or sixty people chose to leave with Xuan Zhen.

The leader behind him was originally a disciple of Xuan Zhen, and now he has surrendered to Sun Taixuan and become the leader of Zhongnan Mountain.

"Haha? Ancestors? Why don't you call them out!"

People with different ideologies cannot work together. One of them is for wealth and the other for the illusory dao. They have changed from fellow disciples to enemies who will never stop fighting.

Yuelu Mountain.

Xu Xuan took the elixir, his true qi circulated, butterflies fluttered around him, and the insects of Huangting Neijing Magic were still in the cultivation stage.

After a long time, his qi changed, he opened his eyes, and his eyes flashed with brilliance.

Boom!

A three-meter fire dragon and a three-meter water dragon emerged, flying in the void.

Two dragons playing with a pearl.

The northern Qingshui Mantra and the southern Zhenhuo Mantra were perfected, and the fire dragon became longer again.

Now I can concentrate on practicing the Golden Light Mantra and Huangting Neijing Magic, otherwise, if there are too many spells, it will be easy to be busy.

Dongdongdong!

At this time, Li Jianxing asked for a meeting.

"A letter from Jinling!"
