Ming Dynasty: pacifying the rebellion and defending the border, dominating the world

Chapter 68: Shuiyue Cave, Lian Chengbi's Experiences

Soon, Lian Chengbi, dressed in blood-stained clothes, walked in led by the Tiance soldiers.

When passing by Gu Santong, Lian Chengbi couldn't help but take a second look at him. "He's slovenly and stinks like a beggar, yet he possesses celestial power. Could it be that the man being taken away is Hong Qigong, the leader of the Beggars' Sect of the Southern Song Dynasty?"

"Greetings to Your Highness."

Zhu Jinzhen nodded, motioned him to sit down, and continued, "Chengbi, you've come at the perfect time. I want you to help me get two things."

Although we had just received the order for the afternoon military exercise.

But Zhu Jinzhen's order was everything, Lian Chengbi stood up and bowed without hesitation: "Your Highness, please give your orders."

"I will send you to a place called Shuiyuedongtian. It's a secluded place where the ancient Tong clan lives in seclusion. I don't know if it hides any dangers, so when things get out of hand, your first priority must be to protect yourself."

"Thank you for your care, Your Highness. Chengbi will remember this."

"Ah."

Zhu Jinzhen nodded and instructed, "Two things. One is a spiritual realm that looks like it's carved from stone. As long as you don't show hostility, even if it has spirituality, it shouldn't attack you. If its spirituality is extraordinary and can break free from your control, and can threaten you, just note its location. I will personally retrieve it."

"Yes."

"The second item is in the hands of a father and daughter from the Men family, a ruined sword-making family in the Great Song Dynasty. You can buy it back at a high price. If you refuse, you can take the item back with you."

"clear."

"Also, hold this."

Zhu Jinzhen raised his hand and pointed, and a decorative sword in the room flew out automatically and landed in Lian Chengbi's hand.

"There is a divine will left by me inside. It can only reach its peak with one strike. After that, it will be difficult to regain its peak. If you fail in one strike, you must not continue to fight."

"This sword is given to you to protect your life and yourself."

This is considered as insurance for Lian Chengbi.

Even Zhu Jinzhen was not sure what was going on in Shuiyue Cave. Whether there were some immortal creatures or monsters left over from ancient times, even he was unsure.

This is not just a simple Shuiyuedongtian world, but a comprehensive martial arts world.

The backgrounds of ancient gods and demons all really existed.

Nuwa, Tathagata, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, etc., are all great masters with supernatural powers who have shocked the world throughout the ages.

The "sky" mentioned by the dragon before his death made Zhu Jinzhen think more than once whether there was also a Black Dragon Sky in the background of this world.

Therefore, it is never too much to be cautious.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward." Lian Chengbi looked at the sword in his hand excitedly. Your Highness's sword is unique in thousands of years. Even gods and immortals cannot match it. Even if it is only the power of one sword, he does not believe that there is anything in the world that can stop him.

Shuiyue Cave, a place beyond the world?
Haven’t you heard that the realm between heaven and man is the most beautiful scenery on earth?

What kind of person can block the sword of his own prince?
Lian Chengbi couldn't imagine it, maybe it was only those gods and demons that only existed in myths and legends?
Zhu Jinzhen opened the door that led to the Water Moon Cave Heaven and said:
"On the other side of the door is the Water Moon Cave Heaven."

"Remember, that's an unknown land. The people living there are all from the Tong family, who possess many strange magic techniques. Be careful, or you'll survive."

"Chengbi will follow His Highness's instructions."

"besides……"

Zhu Jinzhen's face showed a strange expression. "If you are really defeated and discovered by others, and one of them looks a bit like you, you can pretend to be a descendant of the Long family. After some inquiries, I found out that you have a cousin named Long Bo, who was sent to Shuiyue Cave by your wet nurse Long Yan when the Long family was exterminated."

"You came here for two reasons: first, to find your relatives, and second, for the Dragon Divine Art of the Long family."

Doing this may seem like taking something for granted.

But given the Tong family's isolated and naive character, and the fact that they must have a 60% to 70% similar appearance, Zhu Jinzhen felt that this kind of lie might even be able to trick them into acquiring the Dragon God Skill as well.

Lian Chengbi had no idea what Zhu Jinzhen was thinking, but he just kept repeating in his mind: "Descendants of the Long family, my wet nurse Long Yan, my cousin Long Bo, and the Dragon God's Art!"

These are words that Lian Chengbi is absolutely unfamiliar with.

But it doesn't matter. Although he is the deputy commander of the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry, he has also received secret guard training. Adjusting emotions, organizing intelligence, and acting skills are engraved in his bones. Coupled with his elegant demeanor, he naturally gives people a good impression.

To complete this task, which seems as difficult as climbing to the sky in the eyes of outsiders, is actually not difficult.

"Go in, and remember, be careful."

"If it's impossible, don't hesitate. Throw your sword and go back the way you came. I will come to your aid."

"Yes, Chengbi will remember it." Lian Chengbi bowed, turned around and walked quickly towards the opened door, which reflected a scene that seemed like another world.

Zhu Jinzhen looked at his back and murmured, "I hope everything goes well."

He is determined to obtain the spiritual realm.

The Tong family is a trouble, but as long as they don’t have the demigod-level immortality like Tong Yinzhong, they are not a trouble to Zhu Jinzhen.

The only thing Zhu Jinzhen feared was a half-human, half-god.

"The Tong family, the Dragon God!" Zhu Jinzhen's eyes showed fear. The Dragon God, the ancestor of the Tong family, who was only mentioned as a background board in Shuiyue Cave, reached the state of demigod and became immortal by combining the magic spells obtained by the Tong family with the Dragon God's power.

The celestial beings on land can take away 10 sixty years of life from heaven.

The lifespan of that immortal demigod would only be even longer and more terrifying.

If nothing unexpected happens, he will definitely still be alive.

If he is no longer here, then it would be even more worthy of Zhu Jinzhen's deep contemplation. What kind of existence could make it impossible for someone to commit suicide? The demigod with an immortal body was buried in the long river of history.

This was also Zhu Jinzhen's first attempt to explore the background of gods and demons.

……

On the other side, there is Shuiyue Cave.

When Lian Chengbi set foot here for the first time, he felt that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth filled the area, and he felt refreshed.

"If an ordinary person were to practice cultivation here, even without the help of so many medicinal baths and elixirs, their progress would surely be rapid." Lian Chengbi carefully explored the area, sighing from time to time.

The vitality of heaven and earth in Shuiyue Cave is abundant, ten times better than that in the outside world.

The ancient ethnic groups living here will inevitably be in greater danger.

"Um, is anyone there?"

Lian Chengbi's figure flashed, like a flash of rainbow light, disappearing in an instant.

After a while, several figures dressed in white robes and ancient costumes came here.

"Hey, that's strange. Didn't I just see a red shadow? Was it my illusion?"

"Hermit, you are dazzled."

The hermit looked around for a moment, and after confirming that no one was around, he smiled awkwardly, "Maybe I'm just too anxious. The patriarch's call is urgent, there's no time to lose. Let's go quickly."

"You."

The few old men who followed him shook their heads and followed.

Not long after they left, the group of people appeared out of nowhere in the empty place.

The hermit scratched his head, "Hey, there really is no one here?"

Another old man in white laughed and scolded, "I told you long ago that you're dazzled. Shuiyue Cave is isolated from the outside world and has countless barriers. If someone breaks in, they will definitely trigger the barriers. How could there be an outsider?"

"that is."

"However, your invisibility technique is quite advanced."

"That's right. After all, I am the elder of the Tong family."

As they were talking, they gradually walked away.

Lian Chengbi, who was hiding in the dark, breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, he was careful just now, otherwise he would have been caught red-handed.

"That method of concealing oneself just now, was it invisibility?"

"Also, listening to the conversation between those so-called elders, it seems something important has happened in Shuiyue Cave Heaven that concerns their clan leader?"

"Then is the spiritual realm also there?"

Lian Chengbi pointed his toes and turned into a blood shadow, following the few people from a distance.
