Xuanjian Xianzu

Chapter 1050 Liuhe
The river is surging and the water is splashing.

A long, light blue stone wall with mysterious patterns painted on it stood on the shore, washed by the river water. On a magnificent balcony high up, a man in crimson clothes was gazing into the distance, somewhat silent.

A man in black stood beside him. He looked much more mature and his cultivation was much deeper. He just had a polite smile on his face and said:

"Thank you for your hard work, uncle. The Chang Rang Army is already stationed on the shore. Leave this place to me."

When he was called, the man in crimson turned around, revealing a serious face. It was Li Jiangzong, who was now in charge of affairs. He had already achieved the foundation-building stage and came out of seclusion.

The man in black at the side was Sima Xunhui, Li Queyi's husband. Li Queyi and Li Jiangzong were both from the same family and had the same father, so they had a very close relationship, so it was natural that he was closer to Sima Xunhui.

Li Jiangzong sighed and replied:

"Then I'll trouble you, brother-in-law."

Sima Xunhui was a man who was good at taking advantage of situations. No matter what he thought, he could always make the relationship between the several families harmonious. He immediately smiled and said:
"I came to the lake once before. I miss the lake and river views, which are unique in Jiangnan. I also went fishing on the river. Now I am stationed here and I can feast my eyes."

Sima Xun would represent the Song court and the Sima family, stationed at the river bank to prepare for the north to go south. Although the number of troops was not large, it was at least a share of the burden for the Li family. Li Jiangzong seemed very polite and replied:

"It's the rainy season now, so the river is even wider. I went to the river yesterday to see that there have always been conflicts in recent years, with many casualties. The fish in the river have become fat, but their bellies are full of nails, so they are no longer edible."

Sima Xunhui sighed silently, while Li Jiangzong pointed and said:
"Yesterday, Mr. Ding succeeded in his ambush and captured a group of men. He finally captured a Zhao general and brought him back. He is in the pavilion. You can go and take a look."

The two of them then walked down the stairs, and Sima Xunhui said sternly:

"That's exactly why I came here! My master has been observing for a long time, and finally caught Maha in Taixu. I would like to thank the nobles for their cooperation!"

Li Jiangzong waved his hand and shook his head.

More than three years have passed since the war that founded the Song Dynasty. The great formation on the north bank has been rebuilt, with high walls erected to connect with the formation, soldiers stationed there, and strict defenses.

Perhaps the war three years ago also hurt the north. There has been considerable friction between the north and the south over the past three years. Occasionally there have been attempts by Lianmin and Maha to cross the river, but in the end there has been no decent fight and the country has obviously become much more peaceful.

The Li family benefited a lot. Li Minggong, Li Zhouda and others recovered from their injuries, and their skills and abilities improved. Li Jiangzong also survived this fatal disaster, but he still had a lot of worries in his heart:
"The King of Wei is injured... According to Master Qing Hu, the injury is serious. He will definitely not be able to take action in the next few years. Master Zhao Jing has been in seclusion and has disappeared. We have to trouble Master Qing Hu for everything on the lake. This is not a solution for a long time..."

Li Jiangzong led his men all the way to the highest platform. It was still early, but the sixteen lamps in the square were brightly lit. The door of the main hall was closed, and two guards knelt in front of the hall, bowed their heads and remained silent.

It was obvious that someone was already inside. Li Jiangzong calculated the time and understood it in his heart. He turned around and said with a smile:
"It seems that my father has come to the shore and is in the temple... It's a good time to take you to see him."

"It's my father-in-law!"

Li Zhoufang had poor talent, weak cultivation, and no fame, but he was still the father-in-law of Sima Xunhui after all. This descendant of the Purple Mansion Immortal straightened his clothes and followed closely behind his uncle. Li Jiangzong took a step forward, but heard the door of the hall creak and open by itself.

Father Li Zhoufang was indeed there, but he was standing at the very end of the hall. A woman in red clothes and gold ornaments, with a surge of true fire energy, and a sturdy man in brilliant armor and a chin like a swallow and a beard like a tiger, stood on both sides of the main seat, both turning sideways and not saying a word.

A man was kneeling in the middle of the hall. He had a fierce and extremely pale face, and was wearing noble armor. He knelt in the hall, closed his eyes and said nothing, appearing stubborn.

But this man was clearly at the foundation-building stage, yet he had a pale face and no beard, and his helmet had long been taken off, leaving his head completely bald without a single hair or beard - he was most likely a Buddhist practitioner.

As Li Jiangzong stepped in, Ding Weizeng immediately bowed and whispered:
"Master Qing Hu ordered that he should not be harmed... but he refused to speak."

Everyone looked at each other, and finally looked at Sima Xunhui. Unexpectedly, this monk from the Sima family was also confused and smiled bitterly:
"I'm afraid I have to wait for the real person's order!"

But at this moment, the whole hall was filled with a hazy white light, floating softly like the morning mist. The strong man with a swallow-like chin and a tiger beard had already knelt down like a golden mountain being pushed over a jade pillar:
"Your subordinate greets the real master!"

A middle-aged man in platinum Taoist robes was sitting in the center of the main seat!
This man has long and relaxed eyebrows, majestic eyes, a golden glow between his eyebrows, and natural lines on his face. Although his expression is casual, he exudes an awe-inspiring and inviolable majesty.

'Real person!'

It was Zhaojing Zhenren Li Ximing!
Perhaps it was because his magical powers had become more powerful, Li Ximing was now somewhat different from what he remembered. His facial features had undergone subtle changes. Li Jiangzong did not dare to look closely, but he felt that his eyebrows had grown slightly longer and his nose had become straighter. He still looked the same, but now he had an extremely distinct aura of majesty.

Surprise and fear rushed into his mind at the same time. After a moment of stunned silence, Li Jiangzong retracted his foot that was half stretched out on the stairs, knelt down on the spot with a plop, and said respectfully:
"Junior greets the real master and congratulates the real master on his great magical power!"

Li Jiangzong was somewhat relaxed in his own hall, but Sima Xunhui was a little reserved to begin with, and now he reacted faster, immediately bowing behind his uncle, and then he heard the faint voice from above:
"Jiang Zong has established his foundation, that's good."

Li Jiangzong hurriedly sang some auspicious words about the immortal's supernatural power blessing, while Li Ximing relaxed his brows, smiled, and nodded to let him get up.

"Everyone, get up."

Sima Xunhui quickly stood up, took a few steps forward and stood next to the person on the side. Li Jiangzong raised his eyebrows and glanced quickly. A man in blue clothes had sat on the guest seat next to him. He didn't dare to look at his face, but judging from Sima Xunhui's behavior, it must be Master Qinghu.

Neither of the two masters displayed any magical powers, but the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became solemn. Only General Zhao's face turned slightly red. He raised his eyebrows, showed a look of hatred, and opened his mouth to curse.

But Li Ximing just took the cup from Li Minggong and looked at him quietly.

His face was as gentle as jade, and the divine light in his eyes was slightly restrained, like a mysterious spirit sitting in a shrine. The white light floating in the hall was the curtain in front of the shrine, making him mysterious and impossible to look directly at.

This glance made General Zhao look confused. In an instant, it seemed as if something passed across his face. The hatred was like a turbid air, which was blown away by the invisible object that came towards him and disappeared from his face. He knelt and moved forward twice, with deep and uncontrollable awe in his eyes, and cried:
"This subordinate has met your Excellency!"

The spiritual chains that bound him tightly fell to the ground with a clang. The man stood up and knelt naturally under the main seat and in front of Ding Weizen, blending in with the other Li family members and paying them respect.

For a moment, there was a sense of horror in the hall. Even Ding Wei's eyelids twitched and he felt a little frightened.

Li Ximing didn't even glance at him, but nodded slightly to Sima Xunhui. The direct descendant of the Sima family bowed quickly. Li Ximing took a sip of tea and said quietly:
"explain."

These words were obviously addressed to General Zhao. When General Zhao said respectfully:
"I am Li Jue, a native of Lingbei. I practiced under the rule of Damu Fajie. I followed Guangchan Maha to the south and served in the army..."

Li Ximing looked at Sima Yuanli thoughtfully. The Qinghu Zhenren nodded slightly, his expression solemn, and replied:
"I observed the other side this year and found that there were a large number of military movements. They were all people from the Great Admiration Realm. I always felt that there was some arrangement in the north, so I designed a plan to capture one and brought him back... I happened to run into fellow Taoist out of retreat, and we also discussed countermeasures."

Li Ximing frowned slightly.

He naturally knew the name of [Guangchan], and even through the woman Saki Rein from that year... he also knew that this Maha also had the blood of Wei and Li!
"It's not a good thing..."

He was thinking carefully, Sima Yuanli saw his expression, laughed, and a bit of envy emerged in his words, and sighed:
"Congratulations to Brother Daoist Zhao Jing... This is so rare... So rare!"

I am leaving seclusion today, and my divine power of "The World is Bright" has been achieved!
The divine power of life has a completely different meaning to all cultivators in the world. It is not only a shadow shrouding the hearts of all low-level cultivators, but also an important means to make up for the status of Purple Mansion. Now that he has succeeded, he has become completely otherworldly and looks like a completely different person!
'It's really not easy!'

Li Ximing felt quite emotional.

The cultivation of the life-defying divine power places great emphasis on Taoism and destiny, which is already quite difficult. It is even more difficult for Li Ximing today. This time, he was in seclusion for five or six years and almost failed!
'I am a little anxious this time... Although I have been refining pills every year and have become more and more proficient in the Way of Mingyang, if I really want to calculate, my Taoism is still a step behind... If it weren't for the [Listening to Purple Qi] that just makes up for this aspect... I would have failed again this time!'

Now Li Zhouwei's level of Taoism is below that of a great immortal, while Li Ximing was only at the ordinary early Purple Mansion level when he was in seclusion. Many immortals with extremely high levels of Taoism have not yet cultivated their life-enhancing magical powers, let alone him?
However, once he succeeded, his cultivation had improved a lot, and he felt very happy. He was so proud that he smiled and said:

"Just luck..."

Sima Yuanli shook his head and said with emotion:
"It's hard to say. First, your family has a good destiny. Second... your fellow Taoist is very wise... My elders have also suggested that if you can't achieve enlightenment with the destiny magic power, you should try to cultivate the destiny magic power as the second magic power if your talent allows. After all, the magic powers become more difficult to cultivate as time goes by, and the third magic power is even more difficult. If you wait until you encounter Shen Zi and then practice the destiny magic power... that's simply too much to think about!"

Sima Yuanli was actually somewhat envious. His Taoist heritage was clear, and his life-definition supernatural power had already become the foundation of Taoism, but he was not sure at all... Unfortunately, the situation was urgent, and he could not afford to make any progress in his strength. He was conflicted in his heart, and when he saw Li Ximing overcome this great difficulty, how could he not be envious?
Li Ximing listened to his words and smiled slightly.

Once his magical powers were mastered, the world in his eyes was completely different!

Rays of mysterious light fell on everyone's head like beads of light. They had different colors, and the light was bright and clear. Some were full, some were dry, and they echoed with the spiritual energy cultivation. This was the sensation of "The World is Bright"!

In other words, everyone in this entire hall is under the coverage of his life-saving magical power, and even beyond this hall, wherever his spiritual consciousness reaches, is covered by "The World is Bright".

The magic of this life-defining divine power is mainly divided into two parts, the most important of which is the magic that affects Li Ximing himself - known as "the birth of the sacred, the accomplishment of the king's career, the master of the six directions, the balance of heaven and earth, the match of the gods, and the question of the universe."

This part of the magic is related to his own practice, power and status. Once activated, it will be blessed by "The World is Bright", and the light of the world will appear out of thin air, ordering confinement and eliminating evil.

This [Light of Six Directions] is closely associated with "Bright World", and is extremely relevant to Ming Yang's Taoism. In addition to being used in magic battles, it also has the so-called uses of weighing the heaven and earth and asking about the universe. It can be used to measure and ask about the Tao.

Apart from the light of Liuhe, the rest of the wonders further highlight the peculiarity of the power of life.

If the monks of Mingyang Zifu are compared to mortals, "visiting the Heavenly Gate" is like a sharp weapon in their hands, "walking in danger" is like the armor on their bodies, and the mysterious part of "the world is bright" is something that cannot be seen, like appearance and strength, bearing and cultivation, temperament and fortune.

This magical power is not like "Visiting the Gate of Heaven", which has the concept of offering and gathering. "The World is Bright" is more like the rise of one's own characteristics, which is natural...

Rather than saying that the mysterious power of "The World is Bright" covers a certain area, it is better to say that it covers the power relationship of one party.

This supernatural power is in charge of promotion and exile. Those who are close and loved by this supernatural power will be promoted and promoted by "Tianxia Ming". Heavenly light will be born in the sea of ​​​​qi, which enables them to drive away evil with righteous thoughts and illuminate the origin.

The magical thing about it is that it can be used to control his subordinates, so that they will not harbor dissent after leaving their positions, and will not bear grudges after dying. People like Ding Weizen and Qu Buzhi, who harbor dissent and resentment, will be sensed by him immediately!

Once he sensed it, he would become furious and shout at them, and could even reduce the cultivation of these people, not to mention their Qi training and fetal breathing. Even for someone like Ding Weizhen who was at the peak of the foundation building stage, with just a few words from him, he could make Ding Weizhen's decades of hard work go to waste and fall to the middle stage of the foundation building stage in one breath.

And the magic of "The World is Bright" is not limited to this. The previous "Light of Six Directions" can make people infatuated and forget themselves with just a light brush, and obey his orders and words as if they were the golden rule.

'Although he is not a reincarnated person like my father, but unless he is exposed by the special life power of other Purple Mansions, he will always follow my instructions and be loyal until he dies! Even after a long time, he will completely lose his heart... Even if other Purple Mansions intervene, they can't save him.'

At the same time, "Tianxia Ming", as the culmination of Mingyang's method, is able to respond to "Ye Tianmen"!

Once "Ye Tian Men" is sacrificed, golden armor and golden clothes will appear everywhere in the sky. These summoned soldiers are just those who have practiced Qi and built a foundation. Apart from a little fighting instinct, they have no consciousness. If they don't have any magic of Wei State, they will never be able to stand up in front of Zi Fu. It's just a matter of breath.

But the magic of [Light of Six Directions] that is 'matching with gods' lies in this. As long as the golden armor and golden clothes in the sky are gently touched by [Light of Six Directions], their intelligence will immediately increase. If his Taoism reaches a certain level, he can even gather the magical powers of [Light of Six Directions], transform into a golden-armored immortal general and participate in the fight between the Purple Mansions.

'This... should be the embodiment of the law of the Wei-Li Dynasty!'
