Zongwu: Invincible from Huang Rong

Chapter 14: The Four Realms of Heaven and Man, Huang Shang Arrives

Shangguan Haitang had a good idea.

However, Zhu Wusi just smiled bitterly, "So what if he is a celestial being?"

"There are four levels in the Heavenly Man Realm. A newly promoted Heavenly Man like him has only just begun to comprehend the [principle] of the unity of Heaven and Man. Only when one has integrated the inner and outer aspects can one be considered to have entered the initial stage of Heavenly Man [the unity of Heaven and Man]."

"The Grandmaster absorbs the five energies, and the celestial being cultivates the three treasures, condensing into a celestial being's Dharma image. His essence is as full as the sun, and his body is as strong as a dragon and as powerful as fire. This is the second stage of the celestial being."

"The energy is as abundant as the sea, the Dharma is like reality but also emptiness, and it can manifest in the world and be used in battle. This is the third stage of the celestial being."

"The spirit should be fully nurtured, the Dharma image becomes real, and the self-principle is implemented. At this time, heaven and man are separated, and there are many mysteries. I can't explain them clearly. I only know that this is the fourth stage."

Zhu Wusi shook his head and added, "There is no distinction between the three realms of the Three Treasures. After passing the first stage, you can choose any one. However, only after completing all three can you step into the realm of heaven and man."

"May I ask what state my godfather is in now?" Shangguan Haitang and Zhu Wusi had a close relationship and did not have too many concerns.

Zhu Wusi also smiled and said, "I am a second-level celestial being who has made a breakthrough through the sea of qi."

After a pause, he continued:

"But Princess Baoqing has sought out the Imperial Master, asking that the powerful and energetic Third-Rank Black-robed Prime Minister Master Yao to keep an eye on Su Yun. If Su Yun steps into Ming territory, he will have his third leg chopped off..."

Shangguan Haitang's mouth twitched. This kind of thing, which was not vicious or cruel, but could make people suffer for a lifetime, was indeed something that a princess of the Ming royal family could do!

The two of them sighed.

But what is unclear is that Chen Shuo has now integrated the Huang Tian Dafa and Bei Ming Shengong with the help of Yu Linglong, and has achieved "sufficient Qi" and become a second-level celestial being.

……

Splendid Villa.

It has been almost a month since Wang Yuyan came here.

But the strange thing is that Mu Wanqing did not take any measures for her, except providing her with some vulgar books such as "Xuannv Jing", "Su Nu Jing" and "Youxianku", and asked her to help introduce some erotic pictures that recorded Taoist sexual techniques.

As a result, Wang Yuyan's face turned red every day, and she was absent-minded from time to time. At the slightest movement, she was like a frightened deer, looking around in panic.

Guo Fu frowned as she watched Wang Yuyan eat in small bites. Her brows were still full of passion, and her tone was filled with anger and resentment. She complained to Mu Wanqing, "Sister Mu, the master asked you to train her, but you treated her to delicious food and drinks, and didn't even use the food in the dungeon... It really delayed things!"

It was not that Guo Fu was complaining, but because Wang Yuyan was not a servant, she could not serve Su Yun with them for meals.

But because of Mu Wanqing's request, they had to send some special "delicacies" over every time.

This caused Guo Fu, who was happily feeding Su Yun roast pigeon just now, to interrupt the process and run to bring food to Wang Yuyan.

Mu Wanqing stared at Wang Yuyan intently, seeing that she was eating with relish and not noticing anything wrong, then she nodded.

Glancing at Guo Fu, she saw the arrogance that she had inherited from Huang Rong. This made Mu Wanqing dissatisfied, thinking that it was all due to Su Yun's favoritism. He spent most of his time with them, as if he had forgotten about her.

Who lets others have help while I am alone and helpless?

"Fortunately, Wang Yuyan will be ready soon. If it really works, then I'll bring Zhong Ling back next time!"

Mu Wanqing shifted her gaze back to Wang Yuyan, and seeing that she still looked like a fairy as always, her eyes were filled with satisfaction.

"What do you know? The master values this woman because of her fairy-like ethereal temperament. If she turns into a greedy fool like you, the master will find it hard to swallow."

Mu Wanqing responded to Guo Fu bluntly, her eyes full of contempt. Her cold and arrogant attitude made the latter very angry.

But Guo Fu didn't dare to do anything.

With her reckless personality, she had conflicts with Mu Wanqing a long time ago, but even though Mu Wanqing was the first to strike, she was the one who was punished in the end.

Su Yun made no secret of his partiality towards Mu Wanqing, which was why they began to actively form a group and compete to flatter her.

Su Yun was naturally happy to see this result of confrontation between the two parties. In fact, this result was manipulated by him.

Only when the two sides fight each other can they "train" themselves and make the service they receive more comfortable.

However, happy times are always short-lived.

Jinxiu Villa, which had been silent for a long time, has a new guest.

This time, the person who came was an important figure from the Imperial City Administration of the Southern Song Dynasty.

If the Northern Song Dynasty had many brilliant civil and military officials, it was only because of internal friction that they were unable to develop.

The Southern Song Dynasty was simply courting death—

The previous emperor Zhao Gou destroyed the Great Wall himself. Among the four great generals, Mo Xuyou killed one, left one idle, and the remaining two had already colluded with foreign races and had ambiguous attitudes.

As for the civil officials...

Left Prime Minister Qin Hui!

Right Prime Minister Jia Sidao!

Privy Councilor Han Tuozhou!

The Third Secretary Shi Miyuan!

It can be said that this lineup is so luxurious that no matter which country they go to, if any one of these four is not subjected to slow slicing or the extermination of the nine clans, the emperor will be denounced as a tyrant.

The fact that the country was able to maintain operations under such circumstances and avoid being destroyed was all thanks to the efforts of the Imperial City Bureau.

The Chief of the Imperial City Department is Huang Shang, the 7th celestial being ranked on the Celestial List!

The List of Celestial Beings is the highest list that the Tianji Palace strives to maintain, recording a total of seventy-two celestial beings.

However, the fact that even a newly promoted celestial being like Su Yun can make the list is enough to show how watered down the list is.

Everyone is afraid of offending others.

Moreover, Su Yun seriously suspected that the Tianji Palace was actually secretly controlled by several major countries and thrown out to cause internal strife in the martial arts world.

Because there are too few geniuses and prodigies from various countries on the list, most of them are just people in the martial arts world.

More importantly, Su Yun knew that there were definitely more than seven strong men who could crush Huang Shang. If that group of people came out...

Heavenly being?

What a shit!

Complaints aside, Su Yun still had great respect for Huang Shang's arrival. He received him alone and did not even enter the manor. He took him directly to the best restaurant in Fengming Town.

Huang Shang raised the chopsticks in his hand several times, and then put them down again and again. Finally, he could not help but sigh and said, "I am full of energy and spirit, and I have mastered the art of fasting. I will not move my chopsticks anymore."

"Senior, you are extremely powerful. Su Yun is far behind you." Su Yun flattered him and then said puzzledly:

"I wonder why you are here, senior?"

It is said that the world is full of storms, but in fact, for those who stand at the top, there are really few major events that can alarm them, they are all minor fights.

Huang Shang sighed, "Two matters in the martial arts world and one in the imperial court. I would like to ask the owner of the manor for help."

"Please speak, senior. I am all ears."

Chapter 15.py trading, unique sword technique!

"The first thing is that in the past few months, many martial artists have been assassinated by their own family's unique martial arts. In the territory of Southern Song, the only ones who can do this are the Xiaoyao Sect's Tianshan Zhemei Hand and the Murong Family's Douzhuanxingyi."

"The Tianshan Child-Father who knows the Tianshan Plum Blossom Hand lives in seclusion in Tianshan Tianyahai Pavilion. And given her personality, she would not attempt an assassination."

"So the only target left is Murong Fu of the Murong family, but his skills are obviously not enough to accomplish this.

As for the specific reason, I think with the manor owner's great magical powers, he will definitely be able to help Huangcheng Temple solve this matter."

Huang Shang called Su Yun the owner of the villa, and it was obvious that he had already made up his mind to treat Su Yun as a friend based on their status as friends in the martial arts world and to entrust the matter to Jinxiu Villa in the form of a task.

Su Yun did not refuse.

After all, this is a small matter. If I refuse, firstly, it will be difficult to refuse the subsequent court affairs, and secondly, Huang Shang may not necessarily take direct action.

The gap in strength between the two is too big, so Su Yun naturally has to prioritize safety.

Huang Shang smiled when he saw Su Yun agreed, and his tone softened. He nodded slightly and continued, "The second thing is that the alien Qiao Feng has not changed his wolf nature and has killed his teacher and adoptive parents. I would like to ask Master Jinxiu to take the lead in this matter and bring peace to the martial arts world!"

"..."

Su Yun just picked up the wine, and when he heard Huang Shang's words, he looked at him strangely, put down the wine glass for a long time, and said seriously:

"Given the surveillance of alien races by the Imperial City Bureau, it must be clear whether Qiao Feng has time to commit the crime."

"Of course it is clear, the murderer is Qiao Feng." Huang Shang smiled and did not intend to change his words.

Su Yun raised his eyebrows, leaned back in his chair, and tapped the table lightly with one hand.

"The newly-appointed North Qiao Feng and South Murong are both being targeted. Could it be that this third incident is directed at me, the former 'Nan Su Yun'?"

"You are joking, Master. All countries attach great importance to the powerful celestial beings, so why would they destroy their own city walls?

As for the third matter, it is actually very simple. Princess Yinchuan of Xixia led Helian Tieshu and Yipintang to the south to establish diplomatic relations with the Southern Song Dynasty, but the emperor meant that the north could break its promise, but the south could not abandon its loyalty. "

Huang Shang was still smiling and looking at Su Yun quietly, obviously wanting him to "help" deal with Princess Yinchuan of Western Xia.

Su Yun's fingers tapping on the table suddenly stopped, and he pretended to frown and said: "The first two things are time-consuming and laborious matters in the martial arts world. Jinxiu Villa is in a state of disrepair and I am afraid it is unable to complete the third thing." This is a retreat to advance, and to ask for more benefits.

pat!

An exquisite token was placed on the table. Huang Shang pressed it lightly with his middle finger and pushed it in front of Su Yun.

"Master, you may want to take a look at this token first. After the matter is accomplished, the deputy chief of the Imperial City Department will be in your pocket. The court will belong to me, and the rivers and lakes will belong to you. After my time is up, you may be able to take over the power alone!"

"It sounds tempting... I guess you already have a plan on how to do it specifically, right?" Su Yun's eyes flickered. He didn't refuse, nor did he look at the token. Instead, he started to inquire about the plan.

When Huang Shang saw that he changed his name, he knew that Su Yun did not refuse. He withdrew his hand, sat up straight, and said:

"In fact, this matter is also very easy to handle. As long as Mr. Su is willing to stand up and hold a hero conference at Jinxiu Villa, and raise the banner of asking Murong Fu and Qiao Feng to prove themselves, with your current influence, you will definitely get a lot of support."

"Jinxiu Villa is located at the intersection of many waterways. No matter which route the Xixia delegation takes, they will have to pass through here. If they run into the Heroes' Conference and are caused by the mad Qiao Feng, we don't want to see any accidents."

Su Yun nodded. This was not a perfect plan, but that was exactly what made it more like an accident.

The prerequisite is that his identity as the deputy director of the Imperial City Bureau will not be exposed.

But in this way, although he seemed to be making a lot of money, in fact, he even became the other party's free thug and scapegoat, and suffered a complete loss.

"Master Si thinks too highly of me. Su Yun is just a junior in the martial arts world. How can he have such great appeal?"

"..."

I told you the plan, and you suddenly told me you don’t want to play anymore?

Huang Shang was a little caught off guard by Su Yun's sudden change of heart. Although he was full of Taoist energy, he was still essentially the Confucian scholar who studied books back then, loyal, filial, benevolent, and even a little pedantic. (He didn't fight with Fang La Mingjiao, but had another adventure)

But Huang Shang was a celestial being after all, with a quick mind and was well prepared.

His face turned stern, and he said in a stern tone, "Are you ready to admit your guilt for colluding with the Northern Song Dynasty and betraying Xiangyang City?"

Huang Shang's fierce shout activated the Ghostly Wind Roar, and his true energy rolled over like a black cloud. Gusts of cold wind blew, and the temperature in the restaurant dropped a lot in an instant.

Su Yun sighed, and the Bei Ming Qi surged through his body. "If you want to accuse someone, you can always find a pretext. But senior, you should think it over before you act. Are you willing to offend the Xiaoyao Sect?"

Su Yun was naturally not a member of the Xiaoyao Sect, but at this moment he was full of authentic Beiming Qi, and even Xiaoyaozi would not be able to find fault with him, let alone Huang Shang.

Therefore, it’s okay to use things like using someone else’s reputation or waving a big banner occasionally.

Huang Shang's face was uncertain, he seemed to know where the missing Guo Jing and Huang Rong had gone.

In this world, since Huang Shang was still alive, the Five Great Masters did not snatch the Nine Yin Scriptures, so the Nine Yin Scriptures that Guo Jing and Huang Rong learned were actually inherited from Huang Shang.

Originally, this token of the deputy chief of the Imperial City Department was also prepared by Huang Shang for Guo Jing.

Huang Shang was hesitant.

Su Yun suddenly said:

"I heard that after the Lord Si became a celestial being, he traveled to various countries and accidentally found a unique sword technique in a remote place?"

Wuer Sword Technique, although the name sounds random, is actually a peerless sword technique created by Wu Wuer, a top warrior in [Feng Yun]. It is also the strongest among Wu Wudi's top ten martial arts!

When Su Yun got the news earlier, he hurried to check Lingyun Cave and the like, but apart from the seemingly real Baijian Villa, there were no other well-known characters in this world, not even the legend of the Fire Kirin.

Therefore, Su Yun was extremely interested in the unique swordsmanship that Huang Shang had obtained.

"You are already a celestial being. What's the point of pursuing other people's martial arts now? It's better to create your own..."

"Of course, I can draw inferences from one instance to another. To be honest, I am ashamed to say that I have a basic understanding of internal skills, but I don't have enough experience in boxing, kicking, and weapons."

Su Yun looked ashamed, which made Huang Shang believe what he said.

Who made Huang Shang like that back then? He only had internal energy but no fighting skills. In a fight, let alone opponents of the same level, even a first-level celestial being could tie with him.
