Traveling the Heavens in Thunderbolt

Chapter 174: Three Initial Meditations
"Uncle, I remember Yue'er is still trapped in the cell with the old man. Uncle, go save him."

"You don't have to worry about that." Master Ban said, "Once the Xuanwu water valve is opened, the mechanism will be released. But how come I don't know that there is someone in the mechanism city who has a mechanical hand like me? Can you tell me the shape of that person's mechanical hand?"

Tianming described what he saw to Master Ban.

After listening to this, Master Ban shouted, "Not good!" and then said, "From your description, the man's mechanical hand was obviously made by Gongshu's domineering mechanical arts. From your description of the man's age, it is clear that he is the current head of the Gongshu family, Gongshu Chou. Yue'er is in danger."

"Ah, what should I do, Yue'er." Tianming said, wanting to go back and find Yue'er.

Gai Nie stretched out his hand to grab Tian Ming, but Tian Ming dodged him with his graceful movements.

“How could this happen?” Tianming had not expected that he could perform Qinggong, and he stood there in a daze.

But Gai Nie, Gao Jianli and others who had been present since the beginning understood that this was the awakening that Emperor Tathagata had mentioned before he disappeared.

Tianming also noticed the difference in himself. He calmed down and thought about it carefully. He found that there was a new set of martial arts that he had never learned, but it appeared in his mind so naturally: "Uncle, how come a set of martial arts called "First Zen Three Styles" suddenly appeared in my memory?"

As he spoke, his body moved according to his heart, and he unconsciously used the move that Emperor Tathagata had not used just now, "Putijian."

The familiar Buddha's light reappeared, and everyone in the Mohe Hall only felt the ground shake, and the palm prints of Tianming performing three moves were left on the wall.

Seeing this, Tianming asked Gai Nie in fear, "Uncle, when did I start practicing martial arts?"

Gai Nie, who had been observing Tianming's condition since just now, began to believe what Emperor Tathagata said.

He then told Tianming everything he had talked about with Emperor Tathagata.

"How is this possible? Uncle, you said that I am the reincarnation of another person, and that he was the one who appeared in the moment of crisis and saved everyone. This is impossible?" But the extremely clear memory in his mind told Tianming that what Gai Nie said was true.

"This kind of thing is really unheard of and unbelievable. If we hadn't seen it with our own eyes, we wouldn't believe it. Cough cough cough." Yan Dan was speaking when he suddenly burst into a violent cough. Right after the cough, he felt his body go numb and half of his body was in extreme pain, and the pain continued to spread to the other half.

At the same time, countless black lines appeared from Yan Dan's wrist and eroded his whole body. It was the spell left by the Great Sima Ming, the guardian of Yin-Yang School, and the "Six Souls Curse" broke out.

Hello everyone, I am the dividing line of water word count-——
In the Lingnan area, the only king of Daqin, in the Han Palace, saw the court envoy coming and reading out Ying Zheng's order.

"So the prince wants me to board the ship with him." Cheng Qiao asked the envoy after he took the imperial edict from his hands.

"Yes. Not long ago, Your Majesty crushed the conspiracy of the empire's rebels. The biggest rebel, Mo Jia, even destroyed his own mechanical city and escaped. It can be said that he won a great victory. Now, the most difficult upper half of the Lingqu Canal has been built. The construction is no longer needed for the prince to supervise the construction. It can be handed over to others. The remaining part can be built in advance next year. Moreover, Your Majesty is about to start conquering the land of Baiyue, starting from Wuyue (the area from southern Jiangsu to northern Zhejiang), Dongyue (also known as Dongou, now the area from southern Zhejiang to northern Fujian) and Yangyue (now the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, between Jianghuai {including Hunan, Jiangxi, and parts of Anhui}). These all require discussing with Your Majesty the method of cooperation between the north and the south and uniting with some Chu troops to fight. In addition, the prince has been stationed in this miasma land on the edge of Lingnan for many years and has not seen him. Your Majesty even misses him. It is a good opportunity to meet him when you come to Sanghai."

"Well, go back and tell my brother that I'm leaving first and will wait for him in Sanghai."

"Then I will return to report to Your Majesty." The envoy was not surprised at all that the King of Han called Qin Shi Huang his brother, because the secret that the King of Han was Cheng Qiao was not a secret in the court of the Qin Dynasty. Anyone with a little status would know it, but since Qin Shi Huang and the King of Han did not mention it, and Cheng Qiao had already been announced to the public, no one talked about it.

Then Cheng Qiao called out the monkey who had not been seen for a long time.

"We welcome the prince's holy cross." As soon as the monkey messenger finished speaking, Feiying, Youquan and the six evil ghosts and gods appeared, carrying a black sedan chair.

Cheng Qiao flew into the black sedan chair, accompanied by a monkey's shout, "The prince is on a tour, anyone standing in the way will be punished by heaven." Afterwards, with the god of death leading the way, heretics guiding the carriage, yakshas carrying the sedan chair, and ghosts and gods guarding, the legend of giving away gold and silver finally reappeared in the world and headed towards Sanghai.

Hello everyone, I am the dividing line of water word count-——
In Sanghai City, the anti-Qin people who had retreated from the Mechanical City in disguise and covered their tracks came here in advance to wait after learning that Qin Shihuang was about to visit Sanghai.

The group had just evaded the Qin army's detection and entered the city, where they met with Mohist spies arranged in the city, the owner of "Youjian Inn", and the famous chef "Pao Ding" who cooked all the delicacies in the world.

After everyone settled down, they received some bad news.

Then the King of Han, who was supposed to be stationed in Lingnan and was known as the best master of Qin, arrived in Sanghai first to investigate the anti-Qin forces in the city.

When this news came out, everyone was shocked, because this man had been guarding and encroaching on the Lingnan area for Qin for many years since the battle when Qin conquered Chu. He had a heavy responsibility and could not leave easily, so he had never taken action again.

In response to Tianming's questioning, Gai Nie told him about the King of Han's military achievements and his true identity.

Finally, he even commented that if the King of Han had taken action personally in the Mohist Mechanical City that day, there would have been no way for everyone to escape.

Afterwards, Tianming and Shaoyu went out. Because they were wanted by the Qin State and a reward was offered, and Gongshu Chou recognized them, they were hunted down by the Qin army. After a while of pursuit, under the secret protection of Zhang Liang, the third in command of Confucianism, they changed their names to "Ziming" and "Ziyu" respectively, fled to the Confucian Xiaoshengxianzhuang, and pretended to be Confucian disciples to avoid being hunted down by the Qin army.

Li Si, the prime minister of Qin, and Gongsun Linglong, the head of a famous school, came to visit the Confucian school. The Confucian school sent seven disciples to debate with Gongsun Linglong, but all of them were defeated. Just when Gongsun Linglong was feeling proud and the Confucian school was about to lose its reputation, Zhang Liang led Tianming to compete with her. Although Tianming did not know what the art of debate was, with the help of his memory, he used the "Four Phases" of Buddhism to respond. In the end, the two sides were entangled and no one could convince the other, and the game ended in a draw.

The next day, Ming met Shi Lan, who was working in an inn disguised as a man.

Because Duanmu Rong was seriously injured and unconscious in the battle of the Mechanical City, there is only a glimmer of hope if the Confucian master Xunzi comes out of seclusion.

Tianming used the chess playing experience he gained from Emperor Tathagata and won the game against Xunzi under the guidance of Zhang Liang.

Let me say here that after Buddhism was introduced to the East, it absorbed some theories of Confucianism and Taoism. Similarly, Confucianism and Taoism also absorbed some Buddhist thoughts, such as the "theory of reincarnation". Therefore, Tianming used Buddhist theories mixed with Confucianism and Taoism to debate with Gongsun Linglong. As for playing chess, I think all the innate people in the Pili world should know how to play chess.
