Mist Fairy

Chapter 365 Calculating and Being Calculated
King Cheng put his hand into the Jiuhua Ding, and the next moment, there was a "hehe" laughter from inside the Jiuhua Ding.

"Why, are you finally willing to accept my power?"

The voice was cold and hoarse, and seemed very weak.When King Cheng heard this voice, he also felt the hairs on his back explode, and felt sick in his heart.He calmed down and said lightly: "Old Ancestor, what you said is true, are you really willing to give me your strength?"

The voice he called 'Old Ancestor' said weakly again: "You are my blood relative, can I still deceive you? The capital suddenly turned into a demon, which caught me off guard and caused my body to be severely injured. I I can only linger on in my acquired treasure. Now I am about to die, and this strength and this treasure tripod will lose its owner. If so, why not give it to you, let you revive Dayu's prestige, save The people of the Li people are in the water and fire."

After hearing this, King Cheng felt very useful.He has been a 'good boy' in everyone's eyes since he was a child, and he is the best heir in everyone's eyes.Everyone told him that after he inherited the Great Reign, he should not be as lazy as his father when he went, and he must be a good emperor who was diligent and caring for the people.

In his opinion, his father did go too far. If he took the emperor's position, he would definitely do better than his father.The special situation of the Dayu Dynasty made him not have to bear it, and allowed him to live a high-profile life. He has been used to this for many years, and feels that he is the man of destiny.

This time the capital fell, and he was escorted out of the city by loyal guards.And his father was transferred with the ministers of the DPRK and China.The ministers all know that eggs cannot be put in one basket at the same time. If there is an accident on the emperor's side, then becoming king is the hope.

The two parties divided their things, and now the emperor's itinerary is still unknown, but he had better luck and came to Chentangguan with his family's treasures.

When he arrived at Chentangguan, he began to plan matters such as ascending the throne, seizing power, counterattacking goblins, etc. He wanted to be the savior of the Dayu Dynasty, he wanted to be an emperor through the ages, and he wanted to be the one who turned the tide!Therefore, he must have power, and he must control the power of the entire Chentangguan.

It's just that Li Jing, the commander-in-chief of Chentangguan, is a pedantic person, and he was quite at odds with him in the court, and now he is also the hardest stumbling block for him to gain power.

Li Jing was invited to discuss matters today, but Li Jing tried to evade in various ways.Because the emperor's life and death are unknown now, he wanted to be regent as a prince, but Li Jing refused because it was not in accordance with the etiquette.He also wanted to be the commander-in-chief of the three armies and control the troops of all parties.Li Jing refused again on the pretext that there was no court consultation.

The left also refused, and the right also refused. It was clear that he didn't want him to take over the power, and he clearly wanted to empty him of becoming a king. This Li Jing clearly had the heart of disobedience!
He became king to save the country and save the people from the fire and water. How could Li Jing be so ignorant!It's a pity that he doesn't have any power in his hands now, so he can only be bullied by Li Jing.To overthrow Li Jing's oppression, he must have his own strength.

On the way to escape, King Cheng realized that something was wrong with the ancestor's most precious treasure, the Jiuhua Ding. After a little exploration, he realized that the ancestor had already been injured in the fall of the capital. Now, like a candle in the wind, he will die at any time .However, he didn't want to waste the power of the old ancestor's nine levels of Dao, and wanted to transfer it to King Cheng through secret methods.

Although it is impossible for King Cheng to inherit 100% of the power of his ancestors, he can still have [-]% to [-]% of the strength, and he should also have the cultivation base of the Dao Yun state.As long as he has the cultivation base of Yun Dao Realm and the treasure of Jiuhuading, he is sure to break his wrist with Li Jing.Moreover, Li Jing in Chentangguan is not the one who can overwhelm the sky with one hand, there are still some people who are not convinced by him, and these people can also be won over.

Cheng Wang is not a brave and foolish person, but he is often praised by his ministers as 'resourceful'.Now, after thinking for a long time, he finally decided to accept the power of his ancestors, and then united with the officers and men in the pass who loved him, and directly deprived Li Jing of his military power.

However, before accepting the power of his ancestors, he still had some scruples in his heart.Because he was afraid that his ancestors would have some bad intentions in it.

So he asked: "Old Ancestor, I have also inquired about it. It is quite risky to accept the power empowerment. If you are not careful, you will die. In fact, what I accept more is that you directly give me the Jiuhuading , just let me operate Jiuhuading."

This was a relatively safe choice for him. He had known the power of Jiuhua Ding for a long time, and he thought that with Bao Ding's help, it would be no problem to win Li Jing.

But as soon as he said that, the old ancestor sighed and said: "You still don't believe me, you don't have the strength, and you can't operate the Jiuhuading. And what are you afraid of? Are you afraid that I will take you away and become the emperor?"

Hearing his words, King Cheng was also silent.He just has this scruple.The act of instilling power is too easy to take away.

The old ancestor sighed sadly, and continued: "Why do you have such an idea? If I wanted to be the emperor, I would not have given up the throne to others. I am a monk with the ninth level of Yun Dao, and my lifespan is tens of thousands Years, I can be the emperor indefinitely, and I established the Dayu Dynasty, who can oppose it?"

"I am a person who is indifferent to power, that's why I gave up the throne and devoted myself to practice. Over the years, have you ever seen me meddling in any state affairs? Don't you trust me at all?"

King Cheng also understood what the ancestor said, and he was right.During the years of the Dayu Dynasty, after he abdicated, he never asked about state affairs, nor did he make any demands. He just hid quietly in the depths of the palace, never disturbing others, and never letting others disturb him.

Cheng Wang was still silent.The ancestor continued: "Now my soul is getting weaker and weaker day by day, and it will disappear completely in a few days. At that time, my power will also dissipate, and Jiuhuading will fall into a deep sleep because of losing its master. Do you think It will take a lot of effort to wake it up. Why bother, I am your ancestor, I will not harm you. Who would harm their own descendants. "

King Cheng remained silent.At this time, he suddenly remembered a sentence that the current Prime Minister Yang Yan said to him.

"His Royal Highness is good at everything, but he is a little indecisive. It is not the behavior of a wise king to be more resourceful and less decisive."

Now this sentence suddenly surfaced in his mind, making his heart tense.Yes, now that there are no officials to help him make decisions, many decisions have to be made by himself.There are risks in everything you do, and you can't do great things by looking forward and backward.If you delay the opportunity because of your own hesitation, then you may not be able to forgive yourself for the rest of your life.

Wanting to understand this, he gritted his teeth and decided to bet his fate.Then he said to the ancestor of Jiuhuading: "Ancestor, I agree."

The ancestors in the Jiuhua Ding seemed to be very satisfied, he said lightly: "This is what Mingjun did. You enter the Ding, my power is stored in the Ding, and it needs to be passed on to you through the Ding. "

King Cheng nodded, and the cauldron in front of him became a little bigger.He turned over and entered the cauldron, sat cross-legged in the cauldron, and said, "Old ancestor, I'm ready."

The voice of the old ancestor rang in his ears at this time.He said lightly: "Relax your whole body and mind, and don't resist at all. The calmer you are, the more strength you can accept."

After finishing speaking, a force came from the cauldron and rushed into King Cheng's body.The strength in Cheng Wang's body also increased rapidly.

At this time, the ancestor suddenly whispered in his ear: "Do you know why my acquired magic weapon is a big cauldron?"

King Cheng replied, "I don't know, why?"

The old ancestor laughed and said, "Because my accompanying scripture is the "Ding Hua Jing". There is a sentence in the scriptures that says 'Standing on three legs, walking on a tripod'. Do you know how to interpret this sentence?"

King Cheng thought for a while, and he said: "The meaning of this sentence should be: the three legs can be stable, and only the stability can exercise the function of the big tripod." But he thought in his heart that the three legs stand together and walk together.It should be that any power should be divided into three parts. Only in this way can they check and balance each other, so that this great cauldron will not fall down.

His comprehension is not bad, he comprehended the side of power in one sentence.If he was born in a world where he could not practice, he would probably be a person who is good at the emperor's mind.

Hearing his words, the old ancestor chuckled and said: "The explanation is acceptable, but it is not clear. And what you think in your heart is probably not cultivation." He paused, and continued: "Stand on three legs, walk on a tripod. What this means is that the tripod will only be built if the three legs are established first. In practice, this can be understood as the three legs must be cultivated first, so as to lay a solid foundation and cultivate well.”

"If you comprehend this step, then you can practice safely to the Divine Light Realm. If you want to go further, it will be difficult. Because you have not comprehended thoroughly, this rhyme will naturally have no chance for you."

"There are so many things standing on three legs, why must the big tripod be mentioned in the scriptures? The big tripod is an artifact of the state, and only the state can bear the weight of the tripod. And what is the tripod used for?"

"The big tripod is used for cooking. Only the tripod can cook one thing to satisfy the world."

"Cooking, Jingqishen, Guo. Several things are divided into big three-legged and small three-legged. The small three-legged is Jingqishen. The big three-legged is cooking, country and Jingqishen."

"Combine them together, what can you think of?"

The old ancestor's words made King Cheng completely dumbfounded. The old ancestor is really amazing, he can comprehend so many things in one scripture.But how are the three connected?

The old ancestor smiled lightly and said: "Therefore, you can only be a little monk who has not reached the Divine Light Realm, while I am a big monk with nine levels of Dao."

King Cheng then said: "Please ask my ancestors to teach me. What is the relationship between these three things?"

The old ancestor laughed and said: "These three things show that as long as I use a big cauldron to cook the country, I can nourish my energy and spirit. Let me practice without hindrance, and make rapid progress!"

King Cheng was taken aback.It never occurred to him that this would be the case.

Then the old ancestor continued: "I set up the five-element formation in the world, with the Jiuhua Ding as the weapon, the Dayu Dynasty as the country, and the monster clan as the fire. The monster clan continued to torture the people of the dynasty and forced out their spirits. , and then use the big array to collect them, and finally gather them in my body to achieve my practice."

"I originally had a good plan, but it was discovered by that person. He came to me and wanted to cooperate with me. I used a big cauldron to cook the people and achieved my supreme practice. And he used the Qinghuazhou monk and monster clan Fate, also accomplished his supreme practice."

Hearing this, Cheng Wang's heart has turned into a stormy sea.He suddenly felt something was wrong, and he said, "You...you don't really want to instill me with strength, what are you going to do?"

When the old ancestor heard this, there was a hint of hatred in his tone.He said lightly: "I thought you were a smart person, you can understand a lot from what I said, but you are also a stupid person who cannot be supported by mud."

"I'm cooking you, I'm going to devour your spirit and occupy your body, don't you see it? You should have thought that I will cook every emperor, and then occupy their body. Be the emperor! This is the country I laid down, why should I leave it to you stupid descendants!"

King Cheng was completely stupid when he heard this. He thought a lot and calculated a lot.But I never thought of this.Why are the emperors of each generation a fool who eats and waits to die?Before ascending the throne, many emperors were intelligent people and had many ambitions. Why did they become such foolish people after ascending to the throne?
This is because they have all been cooked, their spirits have been cooked, and they have all been eaten by this ancestor!Without energy, what ambitions and thoughts does this person have?Isn't it just a walking dead?

King Cheng is terrified now.The old ancestor whispered in his ear again: "The man said he was cooperating with me, but in fact he even cared about me. He was really seeking skin from a tiger. This negligence caused the death of the emperor and my physical body. But I'm not ready for anything, so I have no choice but to hide in the Jiuhua Cauldron and fight with you brat."

He sneered mercilessly: "I thought you were smart and difficult, and almost thought you were going to die. Unexpectedly, you are also a good-looking guy, with a glamorous appearance, but a straw bag inside. When I occupy your body, recover Once you have cultivated yourself, it will naturally help you solve Li Jing's trouble."

Listening to the old ancestor's words, King Cheng felt sleepy, and finally closed his eyes helplessly.

After a long time, King Cheng climbed out of the cauldron.He looked at his body, and there was still some regret on his face.

"Without sufficient preparation, Jiuhuading alone can only do so much. The physical body is occupied, but the cultivation base has not been inherited, and now only the strength of the third level of Yun Dao..."

He pondered for a while, and continued: "This strength, combined with Jiuhuading, can deal with Li Jing. These people are the ones who forcibly absorb Dao Yun's promotion, and their skills are also sparse. But if we fight among ourselves, wouldn't it be cheaper for that person... ..."

"It's really troublesome!" He sighed, and continued: "The current plan is to restore orthodoxy first. Only in this way can we continue to use the big cauldron to cook the country and restore our strength. But this Li Jing is a soft-hearted guy. , it would be difficult for him to support me to ascend the throne. If I had known this, I should have killed him in the first place.”

King Cheng spat unhappily, and with a move of his hand, the Jiuhua Ding flew into his body and turned into a small tripod tattoo.
