Chapter 2270: Apply to the Qing Dynasty for a certificate of renown, keep your filial piety and go to Chang'an
What on earth was Li Cunxiao doing during this time?
The answer is, of course, to recover one’s self-cultivation.
In the battle at Hangu Pass, Li Cunxiao, like Xiang Yu, burned his inner strength just after breaking through the Grandmaster, consuming all the skills he had cultivated for many years.
For people who have already reached the realm of a grand master, it is naturally much easier to regain the master level skills than to break through the grand master level, such as Xiang Yu and Xuanzang.
After their skills were abolished, they all regained their skills through their own efforts and hard training.
Hang Yu had the help of medical masters, and it took him about four years to return to his peak fighting strength.
As for Xuanzang, he is not as lucky as Xiang Yu. The Buddhists don't care about it, and the other schools don't care about it. He can only rely on himself. Five years have passed and he still hasn't fully recovered. He has only recovered to the level of the peak master, even half a step. Not even a great master yet.
Li Cunxiao, a military general with both internal and external cultivation, had a much deeper accumulation than Xuanzang. It took Xuanzang five years to fully recover, but if Li Cunxiao had only relied on himself, he would not have been able to fully recover in eight or nine years. Recovered.
Naturally, Li Cunxiao couldn't wait that long. After all, the Qin State was developing so fast that it might be able to dominate the world in eight or nine years. That's why he returned to his master's school with the three Yunxiao sisters to ask for help from his master. Recover quickly.
The three major sects of Taoism, the Bajing Palace of the Taiqing Sect, the Yuxu Palace of the Yuqing Sect, and the Biyou Palace of the Shangqing Sect, are all hidden within the Kunlun Mountain Sect, and it was the Shangqing Biyou Palace that Li Cunxiao went to this time.
Taoist Master Shangqing was naturally overjoyed when he learned that Li Cunxiao had become a great master. After all, Li Cunxiao was nominally a second-generation disciple, but he became a disciple later than some third-generation disciples. In fact, he should be the same third-generation disciple as Yang Renweihu.
Most of the second-generation disciples of Taoism are still stuck at this juncture, but Li Cunxiao broke through the great master first. This is simply a shame for him and the Shangqing sect.
But when he learned that Li Cunxiao had just made a breakthrough, he had burned up his internal energy, and now his body was completely empty of energy. Master Shangqing Taoist could no longer laugh.
"You are a rebellious disciple, do you want to be angry to death as a teacher? You don't cherish the fruits of your own cultivation." Taoist Shangqing scolded angrily.
“Master, there is nothing I can do about it. The situation was special at that time...” Li Cunxiao said with a smile.
When the Shangqing Taoist saw this, he felt helpless.
The older generation of Taoists pursue attainment, and what they value most is breaking through to a higher realm and having a longer and longer life. However, today's younger generation pays more attention to rebuilding meritorious deeds and the loyalty of the king.
His own disciples do not want to practice hard in the mountains. Instead, they prefer to join the army, fight on the battlefield, and make achievements.
Even if the leader of Shangqing is a master, he cannot stop his apprentice and can only support him to realize his dream with all his strength. Li Cunxiao did not let him down. After becoming a master, he successfully integrated the dual skills and became the only dual master after Xiang Yu. The great master of Kung Fu.
This also further illustrates that it is indeed faster to enter the world and experience the world of mortals than to practice in the mountains.
“Remember, you only need to do it once to burn your inner energy. You must not do it a second time, otherwise we will expel you from the school.” Taoist Master Shangqing said with a serious face.
Li Cunxiao couldn't help but restrain his smile and asked with confusion: "Master, why is this? Anyway, it's not impossible to recover?"
After experiencing the combat power brought by burning his inner strength, Li Cunxiao couldn't help but be fascinated by it.
Even if it takes several years to recover after using it once, Li Cunxiao thinks it is worth it. After all, this power is too strong, as if it is not available in the world. How can people who have experienced it give up?
Li Cunxiao was even prepared to burn up his internal energy again in the next battle after recovering his skills. After all, with his dual skills to break through the great master's Dantian, it would not be broken even if his internal energy was burned, and it would take a few years to recover.
But now the master won't let him burn his inner strength.
Li Cunxiao was naturally very puzzled by this.
“What? Do you really want to do it a second time?”
Taoist Shangqing immediately stopped breathing and said with a serious face:
"Disciple, you have successfully merged two techniques with different attributes. The tempered Dantian is far more powerful than a normal grandmaster. Therefore, even if you burn your internal energy, your Dantian will not be broken. But if you really think that your Dantian will not be broken. If so, that would be a big mistake.”
Li Cunxiao felt something in his heart, and asked quickly: "Master, can the Dantian of the great master of dual skills also be broken due to the burning of internal energy?"
“Burning internal energy is the last resort of a great master and should not be used except in situations of life and death. Normally, if a great master burns his internal energy once, his Dantian will be shattered and he will become a useless person.
Although the Dantian of the master of the Double Kung Fu method is more powerful, it should not be squeezed too much. If it is used too many times, the Dantian will be damaged.
Dantian is related to the future. Once it is damaged, you will stop there and will never be able to break through. "
Li Cunxiao felt a shiver in his heart. He thought that after breaking through the Grand Master, he could use this as a basis to do whatever he wanted, but he didn't expect that there was such a restriction.
Although Li Cunxiao is fascinated by the power that comes from burning internal energy, he is still young after all. He is only in his thirties and not yet forty. If burning internal energy damages the Dantian, he will remain in the same place for decades to come. , which he cannot accept under any circumstances.
Wait, what did he just hear?
Can you continue to make breakthroughs after becoming a grand master?
Li Cunxiao's eyes widened and he asked excitedly: "Master, can this disciple still make a breakthrough?"
"Haha, disciple, you have only practiced for more than thirty years, do you think you can surpass those seniors who have practiced for fifty, sixty, or even hundreds of years in terms of realm?" Taoist Shangqing sneered. asked rhetorically.
Li Cunxiao was speechless. He was indeed stronger in terms of combat power, but in terms of realm, there was definitely a gap between him and those veteran great masters.
“The master taught me that the disciple was too arrogant.”
Li Cunxiao decisively bowed his head and admitted his mistake. This humble attitude also made Shangqing Taoist extremely satisfied.
“There is no end to the Tao. After the Grand Master, there is naturally a higher realm, but that realm is too high and the breakthrough is more difficult.”
After saying that, Master Shangqing put his hand on Li Cunxiao's shoulder and said seriously: "Disciple, your accumulation and foundation are extremely solid. I hope that you can surpass being a teacher and reach a higher realm. It’s not a flash in the pan.”
Through the Gang Qi coming from Taoist Shangqing's hands, Li Cunxiao felt a more mysterious and profound power.
Sure enough, in terms of realm, the master is still a big mountain, much higher than himself. Li Cunxiao thought to himself.
In order to prevent Li Cunxiao from burning up his inner strength immediately, Master Shangqing asked him to experience a higher realm, so that Li Cunxiao would understand that there is still a long way to go, and he should not squeeze his future just because of the present.
“Disciple, I promise to be my teacher. From now on, I will never burn out my inner strength unless absolutely necessary.
As long as you agree to be a teacher, the teacher will teach you the secret method so that you can recover your skills within three years. "
Hearing what Master Shangqing said, Li Cunxiao nodded decisively. After all, this was related to his future, and he also wanted to see the realm after the great master.
"Okay, in that case, I will teach you the Tongtian Sutra. With this technique, combined with medicated diet and medicated baths, you can recover within four years."
“Thank you, master.”
Li Cunxiao was overjoyed that he could recover in four years, which was half the time it took him to rely on himself. In the next six months, Li Cunxiao stayed in Biyou Palace and concentrated on practicing the "Tongtian Jing" passed down by his master.
Li Cunxiao also sent a letter to Jia Xu through flying pigeons, but he did not expect that Jia Xu's reply actually gave him the task of conquering the three Yunxiao sisters.
Li Cunxiao was very resistant to this task. After all, his cold and stoic Senior Sister Yunxiao was not an easy person to get along with at first sight, and he felt uncomfortable standing next to her.
Li Cunxiao was able to marry Zhao Yu only because of his master's help. With his ability in picking up girls, how could he conquer Senior Sister Yunxiao? This is not looking for abuse.
Li Cunxiao chose to retreat when faced with difficulties, giving up Yunxiao directly and turning to attack Bixiao and Qiongxiao.
As for the personalities of these two young senior sisters, one is gentle and courteous, and the other is quirky. They are both Li Cunxiao's favorite types.
The most important thing is that these two young senior sisters seem to have a good impression of themselves.
After Li Cunxiao married Zhao Yu, although the relationship between the couple was good, there was always a problem that troubled the two of them, that is, Li Cunxiao's body... was too hard.
Li Cunxiao's external skills are unparalleled in the world. After practicing the "Thirteen Taibao Heng Kung Fu" to perfection, his body is as hard as iron and cannot be hurt by any magic weapon.
To put it bluntly, in terms of the hardness of external skills, Li Cunxiao is already among the top four in the world. Even Xiang Yu and Li Yuanba cannot compare to him.
Of course, Li Cunxiao is not as good as Xiang Yu and Yang Jian in terms of recovery, and he is also not as good as Li Yuanba in terms of strength. It can only be said that each has its own strengths.
Li Cunxiao's body is as hard as iron, which is both an advantage and disadvantage. The disadvantage is that in terms of marital affairs, few women can withstand his conquests.
As Zhao Yun's younger sister, Zhao Yun naturally also practices martial arts, and her physical fitness is far superior to that of ordinary women. After merging with Zhao Ji, she also takes into account Zhao Ji's charm, which is Li Cunxiao's favorite type.
Although Zhao Yu's physical fitness is good, she still endures Li Cunxiao's favor. Every time she has sex, she has to call two or three maids to barely withstand her husband's favor, but it is still very hard.
In order to solve this problem, Li Cunxiao specially taught Zhao Yu external skills to enhance Zhao Yu's physique, but the practice of external skills is different from internal skills.
By practicing internal strength, you can also sacrifice your future to achieve quick results through evil attacks such as "Beiming Shen Gong" and "Absorbing Strength", but external strength can only be practiced step by step.
Zhao Yu's talent in body training is not very good. He has practiced "Thirteen Taibao Hengqigong" for two years and spent a lot of resources on body training. He has only just started, and has not even reached the level of small success.
It may take more than ten years for Zhao Yu to succeed in his external skills and be able to withstand Li Cunxiao. Then Li Cunxiao will not be suffocated to death.
Zhao Yu also knew that this was not the way to go, so he offered to let her husband take a concubine. However, Li Cunxiao also had very tricky tastes. He liked Zhao Yu, a gentle and charming person, and did not like the women in the Women's Army.
In this way, Li Cunxiao never met anyone he liked, so he never took concubines. Until he met the two senior sisters Bixiao Qiongxiao and realized that they still liked him, the middle-aged uncle's heart changed. Only then did the second spring appear again.
In the following days, Li Cunxiao lived a very fulfilling life. He was either practicing the "Tongtian Jing" to recover his skills, or communicating with his two senior sisters.
The two senior sisters were even jealous of him, which made Li Cunxiao even more ecstatic.
In addition to these daily routines, Li Cunxiao also met other members of the Shangqing Sect in the past six months, including Senior Sister Jin Ling, Senior Sister Guiling, and Senior Sister Wudang.
That's right, they are all women, and they are all great masters.
Li Cunxiao couldn't complain about this. How could his master accept all female disciples? Moreover, they are all stunningly beautiful. People who don’t know this might think this is Cihang Jingzhai.
Among the senior sisters, except for Yun Xiao, all the others are over forty years old. However, due to their high level and deep skills, the years have not left traces on their faces, and they still look like children in their twenties. girl.
But so many peerless beauties are in the Kunlun Mountains, accompanying themselves in hard meditation all day long, doing nothing but practicing...
In response to this, Li Cunxiao just wanted to roar: Master, you are cruel to nature.
Later, Li Cunxiao found out that the master also wanted his senior sisters to get married, but the senior sister's vision was too high. In addition, as she got older and her realm became higher and higher, it became more and more consistent with the Taoist concept of the unity of nature and man, and gradually she no longer talked about love. Love the idea too.
In this regard, what else can Li Cunxiao say besides being a pity.
Although the Shangqing sect has a strong yin and a weak yang, it is not all women. Li Cunxiao later met his senior brother Wen Zhong.
When he learned that Brother Wen Zhong was actually the Southern God of War, one of the war gods of the Han Dynasty who was as famous as Jiang Shang, Li Cunxiao immediately invited Wen Zhong, hoping that Wen Zhong could go out to the Qin Kingdom to assist his lord, but he was naturally rejected. .
Li Cunxiao did not give up. Whenever he had time, he would pester Wen Zhong and engage in war games, hoping to build a relationship between the two. However, Wen Zhong tortured him to death for hundreds of games. Li Cunxiao lost to the point where he was almost autistic.
Time flies, Li Cunxiao has stayed in Biyou Palace for half a year, and within this half year, he has restored his internal strength to a super-first-class peak through practicing the "Tongtian Sutra".
It took Li Cunxiao normal practice to reach the peak of the first-class level, but it took nearly seven or eight years, and now he has recovered to this point in half a year. This is naturally because he has reached the Grand Master Realm and has the effect of "Tongtian Sutra".
Li Cunxiao originally wanted to return to Luoyang after returning to the peak of his master's status, but this was a message from his lord, asking him to return to watch the ceremony before the enthronement ceremony and accept the canonization at the same time.
The lord is about to proclaim himself emperor in Luoyang. Li Cunxiao is naturally overjoyed when he learns about this. After all, after proclaiming himself emperor, he will definitely be entrusted with a large-scale siege of the city, and with his merits, he will at least be a Marquis of Ten Thousand Households.
It is the dream of all military generals to become a general and become a marquis. Now that Li Cunxiao was just one step away, he naturally had to return to Luoyang to receive the title.
"Disciple, when you go down the mountain this time, please take your senior sister with you. I will give you a great contribution to the master." Taoist Shangqing said with a mysterious face.
Li Cunxiao looked puzzled, but after listening to his master's words, he realized that the Battle of Guanzhong was over. The Tang State had kidnapped the two children of his lord who was living abroad, and the Qin State, under the joint pressure of various countries, signed an agreement with the Tang State. Treaty of Luoyang.
After learning about this, Li Cunxiao was furious, but when he thought about the credit his master had said, his eyes suddenly lit up.
“Master, the credit you mentioned is that you asked your disciple to rescue the child.”
“That’s right, you take Jinling, Guiling, Wudang, Yunxiao, Bixiao, Qiongxiao and the others with you. Even thousands of troops can’t stop you, let alone rescue the two children.”
Li Cunxiao suddenly took a breath. The master sent four grand masters and two half-step grand masters to help him at this time. This was a clear indication that their Shangqing faction wanted to support the country.
With the foundation of Qin State and the support of many great masters of the Qing Dynasty, Qin State is no longer afraid even if hundreds of hostile forces join forces.
“Thank you, master.”
Li Cunxiao said with great joy.
Although he has not fully recovered, with the help of many senior sisters, even with just a few people, he dares to break into Chang'an City.
