Chapter 23 023 [Suddenly a madman sharpens his knife at night]

It’s not that Chen Sheng lacks ability, nor is it that he has practiced too little martial arts.

After capturing a large number of martial artists, compressing the volume of internal force to the extreme; madly increasing the total amount of internal force; filling the body with energy, searching for hidden acupoints and veins in the meridians; adding various attributes to the internal force... and other experiments failed to successfully pave the way for internal force martial arts.

Chen Sheng only recently came to his senses: what he had been doing was essentially giving up what was near for what was far away.

Although he possesses incredible martial arts talent due to his two gifts, [Xuanming Mind Eyes] and [Spiritual Embryo Martial Bones], he can master any martial arts as soon as he practices it.

But in the end, he did not awaken any inferential or pioneering martial arts talents or skills.

Internal force martial arts have been around in this world for at least two thousand years. So many predecessors have failed to do it, so why can he succeed?

After figuring this out, Chen Sheng immediately changed his thinking and set his deduction target on the second level of martial arts in the main world.

After all, compared to the internal force martial arts that still require arduous exploration, the promotion path of the main world martial arts is extremely clear:
[In the first realm, transform the essence into qi and blood, and in the second realm, transform the qi and blood into true qi]

With a clear goal, the subsequent deduction path will become relatively simpler.

The nature of internal force and true qi have many similarities, but the quality is very different.

All you need to do is to use the method of transforming essence and energy into internal force in each internal force martial art, and try to use it to transform qi and blood into true qi.

By trying and failing again and again, you can gradually see the results.

However, compared to verifying internal martial arts by capturing a large number of martial artists for experiments, the experimental materials for the main world's martial arts can only be cultivated by himself.

The rebel army under Chen Sheng's command could be used as his guinea pigs.

Thinking of the army, Chen Sheng looked at another first-level profession on the panel: [Rebel].

This profession was changed from [Hungry People] after he gathered people to rebel.

The hungry people's original [Cow Stomach and Horse Intestine] talent was upgraded to [Strong Soldiers and Horses], which gave Chen Sheng's men a certain probability of obtaining a degraded version of the herbivorous ability.

You can stay healthy by eating only grass stems and leaves.

With the help of practicing some basic martial arts, he was able to build a combat-ready army of 2,000 men in just a few years.

The newly added talent [Kingly and Domineering Spirit] can make people feel good about him when they first meet him. After spending a long time together, they will be impressed from the bottom of their hearts and can't help but bow down to him as their lord.

With these two talents that could be called magical skills for rebellion, Chen Sheng's road to rebellion had already won at the starting line.

He stood tall on the roof, listening to the growing shouts and cries of killing in the Yuhuang Temple, and looked up at the bright imperial star in the center of the night sky, and couldn't help feeling happy.

"If this is a world where the connection between heaven and man exists, with a traitor like me appearing in the world, the Purple Star would probably be shaken."

……

In August of the 14th year of Zhizheng's reign, a thief named Zhu in Haozhou proclaimed himself the General of Pacification, raised the banner of the Red Turban Bandits, remotely respected the Little Ming King as his leader, captured the county town, and openly rebelled.

In March of the fifteenth year, the thief Zhu again captured Chuzhou and took the position of Marshal of Chuhao, abusing his power and authority.

In July of the 16th year, the bandit captured Yingtian. The next year, he divided his troops into several groups and successively captured Changxing, Changzhou, Ningguo, Jiangyin, Changshu, Huizhou, Chizhou, Yangzhou and other places.

In the 19th year, he successively conquered Quzhou, Chuzhou and other areas in the right Zhejiang region, occupied all the lands in the left and right Zhejiang regions, and asked the young Ming King to grant him the title of Duke of Wu.

In the 24th year, after years of fighting, the Duke of Wu defeated the rebel Chen Youliang who was entrenched in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. He was elected as the King of Wu by all officials. He established hundreds of official departments and still used the Han and Song dragon and phoenix calendars. He launched campaigns in the east and west in the name of "the emperor's edict and the king of Wu's decree."

In the 26th year of Zhizheng, King Wu sent troops to attack Zhang Shicheng, who was separatist in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. By November, he had surrounded Pingjiang City, where the rebel king Zhang Shicheng was located.

But when this great army was on the march and tens of thousands of people had been attacking the enemy city for a long time without success, the King of Wu suddenly sent people in December to invite the young Ming King Han Lin'er to Yingtian to govern.

The welcoming envoy had just set out from Yingtian when the news was already carried by carrier pigeon to Chuzhou where the young Ming King lived.

...Chuzhou, Mingwang Palace, late at night at Chou time.

Han Lin'er, who was originally sleeping soundly in bed with a beautiful palace maid in his arms, suddenly opened his eyes in the darkness.

He listened quietly for a while, until he confirmed that the eunuch guarding outside the door was really dozing off, and the palace maid in his arms was really asleep.

He then tapped the back of the palace maid's neck, knocking her unconscious.

Then, Han Liner quietly crawled under the bed, took out a bent wire from the sole of his shoe, inserted it into the gap between the floor tiles and fiddled with it for a while, and then a slight clicking sound was heard.

The floor tile then moved back, revealing a passage barely wide enough for one person to crawl through.

He gathered the energy in his dantian and jumped, then dived in like a loach.

After sliding down several feet in the smooth passage, he supported himself with his palms, jumped up, and landed in a secret room of considerable size.

There were nine crystal clear crystal statues placed in the secret room, emitting a dim light, illuminating the underground space with shadows.

The statues are as tall as ordinary people and appear to be beautiful women. Their bodies are made of crystal and are as smooth as cream. They are naked. Some are sitting cross-legged, some are standing on one leg, some are curled up with their knees bent, some are standing gracefully, and some are lying down... in various postures.

The dim light shining from inside the statue clearly reveals the beautiful charm and graceful figure of the woman, making her transcendent like a fairy or god, and charming like a demon or monster.

At first glance, they are just some sculptures made of color but not silver, but if you look closely, you can find that each statue contains a set of diagrams for luck and practice.

Among these statues, there is a plump woman with a cold face sitting cross-legged in meditation.

As soon as Han Lin'er saw her, he spoke anxiously.

"Mother, that evil thief Zhu Chongwu is going to attack me, we should run away quickly.

Chuzhou is only half a day's journey from Yingtian, and the messenger who is supposed to pick me up will arrive tomorrow. If he really takes me away, our lives will be in jeopardy."

This woman was none other than the young Ming King's mother, Empress Dowager Yang.

"Why are you panicking? Years ago, my mother and I were captured by Liu Futong, but that fool was completely bewitched by my mother and saved us from danger.

Now that Zhu Chongwu has taken over, he is just feeding the tiger with his own body again.

Wealth and honor are sought in danger. If we escape this time, the wealth and glory that Zhu Chongwu earned in the name of the Red Turban Army, and the power to rule Jiangnan, will be lost to us forever."

Empress Dowager Yang suddenly opened her eyes, and the charm hidden in her clear eyes made Han Lin'er's heart waver, and he quickly looked away.

"But...but I heard that Zhu Chongwu is not lustful and doesn't like women.

Mother, I'm afraid your charm will have no effect on him."

Queen Mother Yang stood up from the ground, chuckled and stroked a crystal statue of a fruit girl beside her.

"The 'Wisdom Sutra of Controlling the Origin of All Things' in my sect is the most advanced martial art in the world.

Unfortunately, if the practice is not done correctly, it can easily distort the practitioner's mind.

I heard that King Wu has always been obsessed with all kinds of magical skills in the martial arts world.

As long as you can offer it to me, and with my mother by your side to guide my practice, I am confident that I can turn the King of Wu into an obedient lackey."
