eunuch

Chapter 122 Four Elephants
Yunhao Country, located in the north of Qian Country, has two main landforms: plain and grassland.

The Fuchong Plain close to Qian State is a typical black land with fertile land. More than 70.00% of the cities and population of Yunhao State are concentrated in this area.

In the Yunhao Prairie to the north, there are many nomadic tribes.

It is said that thousands of years ago, the people of Yunhao Kingdom were mainly nomadic. Later, they went south and occupied the Fuchong Plain, and only then did the Yunhao Kingdom now exist.

In order to compete for the fertile Fuchong Plain, the Yunhao people waged many bloody wars with the successive dynasties of the Qian Kingdom, and finally formed the current pattern.

From the perspective of geography, the two countries are indeed feuds.

It's just that after the Qian Dynasty, they changed their strategy and no longer expected to regain the Fuchong Plain. They specialized in the development of the six southeastern states and developed ocean trade. Only then did the current Haizhou and the prosperous trade with Donglai Kingdom come to be.

After nearly 20 days of travelling, the Qian State mission finally crossed the border of Qian State and entered the territory of Yunhao State.

Liangzhou, Qianguo, is actually part of the Fuchong Plain, but it only occupies a small part.

This is still part of the country that has gone through hardships to regain it.

In the Yan Dynasty before the Qian Kingdom, Liangzhou had already been occupied by the Yunhao Kingdom for decades, and it was not until the establishment of the Qian Kingdom that a nearly 30-year war broke out that Liangzhou was taken back.

The season at this moment is just when the food crops are about to harvest.

Entering the territory of Yunhao Country, one can only see that the land is full of golden yellow, which are patches of Yunmai, waiting for a good harvest.

Many Yunhao country farmers are already working in the wheat fields.

"My lord, this used to be the land of our dry people. How fertile it is. These Yunhao people are just robbers, but now they occupy the best land."

On a nearby carriage, an old man pointed at the golden wheat field with resentment in his words.

This person is Zhao Xun, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, who served as the deputy envoy of the mission.

Ye Cheng was silent and didn't say anything.

It has been lost for nearly a thousand years, what else can I say?

Seven days later, the Qian Kingdom mission finally arrived at Lingxiao City in Yunhao Kingdom.

This Lingxiao City is located on the only mountain in the Fuchong Plain.

In fact, it is a hill a few hundred meters high.

The outer city surrounds the entire mountain, and the inner city is built along the mountain.

The imperial city is directly on the mountain.

So the Imperial City is the highest location in Lingxiao City, overlooking the entire Lingxiao City.

It is said that the Lingxiao Palace where the court meeting is held is the highest place in the entire Lingxiao City.

As soon as the Qianguo mission entered Lingxiao City, they felt strong hostility.

It is said that the people of Yunhao Country are tough, and it is true. Warriors wearing weapons can be found everywhere on the streets.

Even ordinary people carry weapons for self-defense.

The place where Yunhaoguo placed the mission is called Yunjie Pavilion.

Compared with the Wan Guo Pavilion in Qian Kingdom, this Yunjie Pavilion is relatively simple and simple.

As soon as the Qian State Mission moved into the Yunjie Hall, Grandmaster Qing Lan, who had arrived in Yun Hao State first, invited them to have a small gathering.

Ye Cheng knew Qing Lan's intentions.

The birth of each Grand Master will inevitably pose a huge threat to the countries in this area.

For example, the Yuanling Empire and the Red Moon Alliance, which are farther north and west, are so powerful and have such a vast territory. It is because of the great masters who destroyed countless countries that they formed the current pattern.

Now that Yunhao Country has a great master, it will inevitably embark on the road of expansion, and Qinglan Country, the closest Qian Kingdom to Yunhao Country, will bear the brunt of it.

Donglai Country, due to its geographical location, is much less threatening.

In order not to appear special, Ye Cheng happily went there.

After a small gathering, there was no way to deal with it.

The information obtained by Qinglan Country is not particularly large.

Moreover, Qinglan Country is quite pessimistic.

With the aggressiveness of Yunhao Country, it will inevitably expand to the southwest in two directions, and the first to bear the brunt must be Qinglan Country and Qian Country.

However, Qian State is strong and powerful, while Qinglan State is weaker. Yunhao State may attack Qinglan State first.

After the Donglai Kingdom mission also arrived in Yujing, Emperor Yunhao did not meet them immediately, and dragged on for another seven days. Three days before the promotion ceremony, he finally summoned the Three Kingdoms mission.

The entire summoning went smoothly, but when they walked out of Lingxiao Palace, something unexpected happened.

An eleven or twelve-year-old boy with the typical braids of Yunhao Kingdom rushed in front of several missions.

"Which one of you is Ye Cheng, the grand master of Qian Kingdom?"

Everyone present looked at each other in blank dismay, and all their eyes fell on Ye Cheng.

"I am, I don't know what's the matter with this Highness?"

Ye Cheng said.

The boy's attire should be that of a certain prince from Yunhao Kingdom.

"Hmph, you stabbed my master's eyes blind?"

The young prince snorted coldly, then pointed at Ye Cheng, and said coldly: "In the future, this prince will definitely lead Yunhao's iron cavalry to conquer your kingdom."

"Hulun, what are you doing, how can you be so rude?"

At this time, a heroic young man in robes came over and scolded.

Then he bowed slightly to Ye Cheng and said: "Grandmaster Ye Cheng, I'm really sorry, the emperor's younger brother is rude and speaks outrageous words, please don't take it to heart."

"His Royal Highness, this is just a trivial matter."

Ye Cheng smiled slightly, how could he, a master, have the same knowledge as a yellow-mouthed child.

Leaving Yunhao Imperial City and on the way back to Yunjie Pavilion, Ye Cheng suddenly stretched out his hand to grab it, and suddenly there was a small ball of paper in his palm.

Someone shot in from the outside with great subtlety.

Under Ye Cheng's mental induction, he found nothing.

Of course, he didn't dare to be too reckless.

This is the Yunhao Kingdom, and it may have become a dragon's pond and a tiger's lair. No one knows what kind of powerful existence is hidden.

He slowly opened the paper ball.

"Gather in the Black Mirror Building, Wen Jiang."

Ye Cheng opened the window, and saw a three-story building on the side of the road, with a plaque with the words "Hei Jing Lou" written on it.

This is the name of a restaurant.

"parking."

Ye Cheng said suddenly.

The carriage stopped.

"You guys go back first, I'll go in and have a drink."

Ye Cheng got off the carriage.

Then he walked into the black mirror building Shi Shiran.

There are not many alcoholics in the Black Mirror Building.

After walking in, it can actually isolate the noise from outside.

Very peaceful.

Moreover, there were bursts of silk and bamboo music coming from upstairs, which made the style of this restaurant go up all at once.

"Guest officer, please come with the little one."

The guy came up and said it directly.

Ye Cheng understood that this guy should know that he had a date.

So, he followed the buddy up to the third floor.

The third floor is a private room facing the window.

Ye Cheng entered one of the private rooms and saw an acquaintance.

There is Wen Jiang, the owner of a bookstore.

Still dressed as a member of the staff.

"I didn't expect Senior Wen Jiang to come to Lingxiao City."

Ye Cheng arched his hands.

He thought that Wen Jiang's cautious character would not take this troubled water.

"It's such a big event, I have to come. Isn't it the same for Lord Ye?"

Wen Jiang said with a chuckle.

"Ye is in his job, so he has to come. Senior Wen Jiang, you can have a good time."

Ye Cheng sat down.

"Drinking the Black Mirror Wine from the Black Mirror Tower, this is Yunhao's unique skill."

Wen Jiang smiled slightly, but poured Ye Cheng a glass of wine instead of answering.

The wine glass was actually made of almost transparent glass.

The wine was poured into the glass, it was as black as ink.

A strange smell of wine came out.

"This is the first time Ye has seen black wine."

Ye Cheng said.

"This wine is said to be made from Yunhao Country's unique rye, black fruit and black date dew. Even if it is distilled, it still has a pure black color, just like a black mirror. It was named after that."

Wen Jiang said.

Ye Cheng picked up the glass and took a sip of the wine, the taste was really good, it contained a peculiar fruity aroma, mellow but not spicy, soft yet deep.

"It's really good. It's completely different from the wine in Qianguo."

Ye Cheng said with a light smile.

"Lord Ye, do you know why I invited you to a party?"

Wen Jiang said suddenly.

"I don't know, logically speaking, senior Wen Jiang should avoid me."

Ye Cheng shook his head and said.

"This time Tiantini became a grand master and held a promotion ceremony, but it's not as simple as you imagined."

Wen Jiang said with a sigh.

"Senior Wen Jiang, why is this?"

Ye Cheng was surprised, could it be that Tian Tini became a great master, and there was a reason for some force to promote it?

It's a pity that he is in the middle of the game, but he doesn't know the real situation in the game. This feeling is very uncomfortable.

Otherwise, he would have to go to Yunhao Country to participate in this dangerous promotion ceremony without risking it.

"Originally, I planned not to tell you so early, but at this juncture, if I don't tell you clearly, I'm afraid that if you get involved in it, you will really be lost."

Wen Jiang said in a deep voice: "Do you know why there are so many spiritual lands in various countries?"

Ye Cheng didn't speak.

"This is deliberately controlled by a force called Jingu, in order to limit the number of innate warriors in various countries."

Wen Jiang said with a hey smile.

"Senior, isn't it true that there is no way to refine the gods?"

Ye Cheng's face changed slightly, and he asked immediately.

"Of course, if there is a method of refining gods, with just a few spiritual lands, do you think there are so many innate warriors in all countries?"

Wen Jiang said.

Ye Cheng understands that with the method of refining gods, there is no limit to the cultivation of innate warriors, and they can continue to practice, but they need more spiritual resources.

The output of spiritual things is only so much, and the personal consumption is too much. Naturally speaking, the number of innate warriors increased will be greatly reduced.

"What about martial arts?"

Ye Cheng asked another doubt.

If it is said that the method of refining gods exists, what is the situation of this martial intent?
"What you know is naturally false. Martial intent already exists, and it is the realm that matches the divine refining method."

Wen Jiang smiled lightly.

"This shrine is so terrifying that it can deceive all living beings?"

Ye Cheng was horrified.

To block a kind of information that originally existed, and completely erase and modify it from various document records, isn't this kind of energy too terrifying?
"What is this? Martial intent reaches a certain level and can affect the memory of living beings within a certain range. What's more, the layout of the shrine was not completed overnight, but after thousands of years, it gradually reached the current effect."

Wen Jiang said.

"Senior Wen Jiang, why did Jingu do this?"

Ye Cheng took a deep breath and asked.

"It's very simple. You have also read the ancient records. The ancient records are full of aura. Everyone can practice. There are countless kinds of longevity. What about now? The aura in this world is so thin."

Wen Jiang said with a sigh.

Although Jingu's approach is understandable in a sense.

However, many people have been deprived of their cultivation qualifications.

This is the greatest injustice.

Ye Cheng suddenly realized that the aura is limited, and there are too many warriors, they will inevitably compete for the aura.

The best way is to limit the number of people. With fewer people competing, the share of aura that the remaining fighters can obtain will increase.

"But this shrine is too domineering. They make rules and limit the number of warriors. Can't they occupy a lot of aura?"

Ye Cheng said.

"Yeah, so, there are people like us."

Wen Jiang said with a sigh.

"But what does this have to do with becoming a great master? I didn't rely on the magic method to become a great master. I relied on my own talent and aptitude. Is it possible that this shrine also needs to be in charge?"

Ye Cheng said in a deep voice.

"Every great master who can achieve by himself is a talent of the sky. If such an existence is left unattended, does the shrine allow you to be used by opposing forces? After you know the truth, will you be extremely dissatisfied with the shrine?"

Wen Jiang laughed.

Ye Cheng became silent.

It's not just dissatisfaction, it's simply an enemy.

If there is the existence of refining gods, would it be so difficult for those innate warriors, grand masters, and even grand masters to cultivate?

Cutting off a person's path to cultivation is a million times more serious than cutting off a person's path to wealth.

"That's why Shenu has only one attitude towards you talented masters. They would rather kill you by mistake than let them go. Of course, it doesn't mean that you will definitely die, but you great masters who are discovered will definitely be in a miserable situation. "

Wen Jiang said.

"Senior Wen Jiang, what exactly do you want to say, just say it."

Ye Cheng took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

"It's very simple, join our organization, unite, fight against the shrine, and fight for a space for us to practice freely."

Wen Jiang said.

"Senior, sorry, I can't make a decision just yet."

Ye Cheng shook his head and said.

How could he, a majestic immortal, join such a rebellious organization that was vicious at first sight?
At worst, he can hide and use a few spiritual lands to cultivate for hundreds or thousands of years.

Why take such a big risk.

This Wen Jiang is living a life of hiding in the XZ, and it is very unsatisfactory at first glance. Obviously, Jingu severely cracks down on this kind of resistance organization.

"Hey, I knew you would say that, so I didn't tell you this last time, so don't rush to refuse, this Tiniti's promotion ceremony will be an opportunity. Besides, joining our organization, you are Those who can obtain the divine refining method, with the refining divine method, not only will your cultivation speed be greatly increased, but also your comprehension of martial intent will be the same."

Wen Jiang said.

He understood Ye Cheng's thoughts. After all, he was an eunuch and had no descendants. Apart from having a certain affection for the Qian Kingdom's royal family, he didn't have much concern.

It is impossible for such a person to say that he has the ideal of opening up a free cultivation environment for the younger generation.

"As much as you get, you have to give as much. There is no free lunch in this world."

Ye Cheng said in a deep voice.

Although the alchemy method is attractive enough to him, the risk is also great.

Once he joins this organization and obtains the method of refining gods, then this organization requires him to participate in some high-risk things?

What should he do?
It is unwise to put yourself at risk.

After all, he is a long-lived person, and it's not that he can't cultivate. At most, he should slow down and have enough time, so there is no need to take such risks.

"Yeah, otherwise why would I appear here."

Wen Jiang showed a sigh.

"Senior Wen Jiang, is the person behind Tini today also a member of your organization?"

Ye Cheng asked curiously.

Seeing Wen Jiang's expression, he understood that joining this organization is definitely not a good thing, otherwise Wen Jiang would not have appeared in such a dangerous city of Ling Xiao because of his cautiousness.

"Of course not. Our organization is not that group of lunatics. It is much more rational. However, they must have a certain amount of confidence if they dare to do this. If the time is right, we can also intervene. After all, the purpose is the same."

Wen Jiang shook his head.

Ye Cheng smiled in his heart, what is rationality is obviously a lot more cowardly.

Next, the two of them drank and became depressed.

"Senior Wen Jiang, I have always been confused about the realm of cultivation, how are they divided?"

Ye Cheng suddenly broke the deadlock and asked out the doubts in his heart.

"This is simple, and it's okay to tell you. Xiantian is divided into four stages: early stage, middle stage, late stage, and consummation. According to the standards of the shrine, the early stage of Xiantian can generally comprehend the first level of martial arts, and the middle stage of innateness can comprehend the second stage of martial arts. , Comprehend the triple martial intent in the later stage of the innate, and if you reach the consummation, you can comprehend the quadruple martial intent. The division of masters in the secular world, the great master, is actually not accurate. There are four images in the shrine. Generally, it can be called a master of illusion, or a master of illusion. Those who comprehend the second level of martial arts are called masters of appearance. You should find that martial arts can already affect reality, which is the origin of appearance. If you comprehend Triple martial arts, known as truth masters, this kind of masters can truly interfere with matter with martial arts, and possess all kinds of incredible means, which are very terrifying, far beyond what the appearance masters can compare, if you go further, comprehend the fourth level Wu Yi, that is the Great Master of Astronomical Phenomena, one thought can trigger a side of celestial phenomena, it is said that in our realm, there is a Great Astronomical Master of the Shrine sitting in charge."

Wen Jiang spoke leisurely.

Ye Cheng was shocked when he heard it, he didn't expect such a detailed division of Wu Yi.

One level of martial intent is more powerful than the first level, how terrifying it must be to be a grand master of astronomical phenomenon.

"Senior Wen Jiang, is it possible that the cultivation base has improved faster, but the martial arts comprehension can't keep up?"

Ye Cheng asked again.

His current martial intent is the second level, which is equivalent to being a master of appearance.

The cultivation base has reached the innate late stage.

Under normal circumstances, it must match the truth-level martial intent.

"Of course it is possible. As long as your martial arts aptitude is not bad and you have enough spiritual energy to cultivate, this situation is the most normal. On the contrary, it is more difficult to comprehend martial arts. But the current situation is that the spiritual energy is not enough, and you can only rely on comprehension of martial arts." Intended to increase strength."

Wen Jiang smiled lightly.

Only then did Ye Cheng feel relieved, it's fine to be normal.
