The first cause of all realms

Chapter 212 Difficulties in Refining
[Is the refining recipe 'Ten Capitals, Jikuixing, Rank Map'? 】

"Yes!"

[Start refining: current progress, the first step: subdue his heart]

hum~
During the question and answer, the brilliance flowed like water, completely engulfing Yang Yu.

Like soaking in warm water, an indescribable joy surged in my heart, and in a trance, all kinds of fatigue disappeared, as if returning to the mother's womb.

Calm, serene.

At this moment, the throbbing in Yang Ju's heart calmed down, and all kinds of distracting thoughts returned to the bottom of his heart.

Concentrate on the front.

The white light flowed densely, and within a short time, there was already a scene looming in it, and it was zooming in quickly.

Blue sky, white clouds, wheat fields, mountains, ancient temples, scholars with swords...

In just a few moments before and after, all kinds of dazzling scenes flashed in front of Yang Yu's eyes one by one, and finally, they were fixed on the scholar who was on the way in the deep mountains.

However, he himself did not enter the illusion like he did when he refined the ingredients before, but was suspended outside like a ghost.

"This……"

Yang Qiu is definitely not a person who judges people by appearance, but the first moment he saw this scholar, he still felt uncomfortable.

Without him, the painting style does not match.

One is eight feet tall, burly and majestic, with a leopard head with ring eyes, and iron face with curly temples. If he is wearing armor and holding a spear, he can be said to be majestic.

But he was wearing a jade-colored shirt, a square scarf on his head, and a long sword.

This is kind of indescribably weird.

However, this was just a momentary thought. Compared with this, Yang Ju was more concerned about the identity of the scholar.

According to the Daoguo talk and the information he inquired, the refinement of Daoguo is divided into four steps: subdue one's heart, hold a ceremony, light up the map of life, and refine the rank.

The refining of the cauldron of gluttony seems to go through these four steps.

And where he is now, should be the first step.

To subdue one's heart, as the name suggests, is to use one's own will to subdue the will contained in the Dao Fruit, and if the Dao Fruit once had a master, then one must subdue the will of the previous master.

Otherwise, you will be backlashed by the Dao Fruit and lose your self-nature. Even if you don't transform into a demon, you will no longer be yourself.

"This scholar is the former master?"

A thought appeared in Yang Ju's mind, and a change occurred before his eyes.

Everything in front of me began to flow at a speed that was many times faster than usual.

Yang Jue was startled, but he didn't dare to be distracted, and looked intently.

In the deep mountains, the book business is full of vigor, and he seems to be rushing to take the exam. He is a tall man with extremely high martial arts. While studying hard on the way, he also draws his sword to help a lot.

Soon, he came to a magnificent and prosperous city.

"This city..."

Yang Jue's eyes froze, and everything in front of him froze again.

Then, that fierce general brother turned around, his complexion was like iron, he was not angry and arrogant, his eyes were even more like a thunderbolt, and looked at Yang Qiu.

It seems to have discovered his existence:
"A certain house, is it ugly?"

The sound is like a bell, and the sound is like a thunderbolt.

"Can you see me?"

Yang Jue was slightly startled, and immediately noticed something strange.

This scholar is not angry and majestic, but he lacks agility. He doesn't speak like a living person, but more like an unwilling obsession.

He didn't wait for an answer to his question, and spoke again on his own:

"A certain family from Zhongnan, Yongzhou, boasted of both civil and military skills. Unfortunately, because of treacherous slander, he was dismissed as the number one scholar on the grounds of being ugly..."

"Zhong Kui?!"

Yang Jue blurted out.

The same ugliness, the same loss of champion because of ugliness, the same determination to hit the gold pillar...

This reminded him almost immediately of a ghost from his previous life.

Kuixing...

Is this a coincidence?

still is……

Yang Jue's heart trembled violently, this is too coincidental, isn't it?
As if he didn't get a response, this burly and fierce brother talked over and over again about the past when he hit the post and died.

"Is this your obsession?"

Yang Ju came back to his senses, feeling a little complicated.

Appearance is very important.

Either past or present.

But, is this the obsession of the former master?
It's too...

"My act of bumping into the pillar shocked the government and the public. The Emperor Tang summoned the imperial doctor, saved my life with a secret pill, and appointed a certain family as the number one scholar..."

However, this fierce brother changed the subject and disrupted Yang Yu's guess.

"..."

Yang Yu was speechless for a moment.

He even suspected that the fierce brother in front of him could really see himself...

"I have been a soldier and horse all my life. I have been an extremely human minister. Although I have made great achievements, I have not surpassed the master. Zebei's family members are deeply in love with the emperor. They once made a promise to protect my gods from the mountains and rivers..."

The fierce general muttered to himself:

"It's a pity that a certain family is beyond its power and cannot turn the tide. It is a debt of gratitude to the emperors!"

"This is a great pity!"

"This is my great regret!"

Boom!

Brother Meng's beard and hair were all stretched out, and with a roar, the environment in this area was shaken, as if it was about to collapse.

"You are……"

Yang Ju seemed to have remembered something, and just about to speak, everything in front of him was shattered, like a frenzy, completely submerging him.

……

……

Zheng Changgong!
When the light and shadow shattered, Yang Qiu finally remembered who this person was.

From the Qin Dynasty to the present, in the 3000 years of change, most of the martial saints came from the Qin Dynasty and modern times, but in the long years, there were also martial saints born.

Zheng Changgong was one of them.

Although it is unknown because there is no inheritance left, Yang Yu has seen the record of this person in the archives.

It's a pity that there is only the "Wu Sheng Long Bow", which was born in the Tang Dynasty, died at the end of Tang Dynasty, and died in Wu Sheng Gao Jia. 'It was just a few words, so that he didn't think of it for a while.

call!
I don't know how long it took before Yang Ju sensed the existence of the outside world. He didn't rush to open his eyes, but he still sensed the cauldron of gluttony first.

As if sensing his will, various words appeared on the cauldron of gluttony:

[Scene: Floating Battlefield]

[Identity: General of the Zhenjun, Zheng Changgong]

【My body is old, I can't help it, and the building will collapse. People's hearts are against each other, and it seems that there is no human power to help...】

In the cauldron of gluttony, there are very few words.

"The building will collapse, is this his obsession?"

Yang Ju murmured in his heart.

I know where I am and what to do.

call!
Open your eyes again, and the scene in front of you changes again.

As far as the eye can see, this is a military tent with soldiers and armour. On the case books, there are porcelain bowls and silk books. There is a strong aroma of medicine between the mouth and nose.

Excruciating pain!

Before he could look at it more, severe pain rushed to his body.

And what came with the severe pain was an indescribable weakness. This was not the weakness of a serious injury, but more like a sense of old age that was approaching and dying.

"He's dying..."

Yang Yu felt a chill in his heart.

In this state to face the troubled hero Gao Jia at the end of Tang Dynasty?
joke!

When he was in Qingzhou, Yang Qian went back and forth to the document library several times, and borrowed a lot of books, among which, apart from secrets such as martial arts, most of them were related to history.

The history of this world has some similarities with his previous life.

Before Qin, it was a troubled time, the Emperor Qin was unified, and the Overlord and the Emperor Han were fighting for the world... Tang also existed, and like the previous life, it was an extremely colorful stroke.

In the past dynasties, they all belonged to the top group.

But there are more differences.

For example, at the end of the Tang Dynasty, Gao Jia, a hero in troubled times, raised his troops to attack Tang. In the first battle, he conquered the capital of Tang. Since then, the world has been in chaos for hundreds of years.

Zheng Changgong died at his hands.

"It's no wonder Zheng Changgong lost to Gao Jia. His injury is not just an injury. His time limit is approaching! This is a supernatural injury..."

Yang Qiu smiled wryly and lay down.

While he was thinking hard, hurried footsteps came from outside the tent, and after a while, several young men in armor rushed in, knelt down on one knee, and reported.

"The Gaojia rebels have captured the capital, and hundreds of thousands of troops have all died in battle!"

"Gao Jia sent a letter to the Jiedu envoys all over the world, saying that he has led his army to conquer us..."

"Your festivals make people panic, your banquet, I'm afraid, I'm afraid..."

……

The faces of the young generals were a little pale.

Unwilling and sad.

"..."

Yang Qiu lay on the bed and did not respond for a long time.

How to deal with this?

At this moment, even if he can barely get up, even if the original owner's martial arts attainments cannot defeat Gao Jia in this state, what can he do?

And even if it can cope with this attack, so what?
A capital city was destroyed, the emperor fled, and the people of the world were in panic, trying to turn the tide, the difficulty was simply beyond the horizon...

"This is the first step, is it that difficult?"

Yang Jue's scalp felt a little numb.

No wonder Ji Longshan has only reached the second step after obtaining the Dao Fruit these years. The difficulty of refining this Dao Fruit is a bit outrageous...

This is not just a high armor.

The Jiedushi in the Tang Dynasty had much greater power than the governor.

It is almost equivalent to the sum of the six gates of Qingzhou, the Qingzhou Army, and the state government. That is the real official of the frontier.

It's nothing more than the peaceful years, but in the current state, with the capital already occupied, only God knows what these festival leaders are thinking.

"General!"

There was no response, and several generals were even more disturbed:
"Jiedu envoys, how should I reply?"

"Cough cough~"

Yang Ju coughed lightly and got up, endured the severe pain and walked to the case, flipping through the silk book, feeling even colder in his heart.

The situation at this time was more difficult than he imagined.

Zheng Changgong failed to block Gao Jia, and hit a hit of 'Hundred Flowers Kill'. He was already in his twilight years, and his time limit was approaching.

And the army under his command at this time is not his direct descendant, but a coalition army composed of seven Jiedu envoys, barely respecting his orders to serve the king.

"Woooooo~"

Just as Yang prison was thinking about countermeasures, a low-pitched bugle sounded outside.

The enemy is coming!

……

……

call!
In the cauldron of gluttony, Yang Jue suddenly opened his eyes, his iron color turned livid.

The difficulty is too great.

Although Zheng Changgong is the body of a martial sage, but not to mention he was seriously injured and dying, his body is also close to the limit, not to mention fighting with the martial sage, even if he is worse than his current self.

In such a state, go to meet the peak state and lead an army of 80 Wusheng Gaojia.

How can there be any chance of winning?

In fact, this time, he didn't see Gao Jia at all, he fainted on the battlefield after a few shots, and when he opened his eyes, he saw the enemy envoy.

Seeing that they were defeated, the remaining Jiedu envoys gave up resistance and welcomed the enemy into the army.

Hell Difficulty...

"To subdue the former master's obsession, I must be stronger than him. Not to mention defeating Gao Jia, at least I must force him back!"

Seeing the motionless refining progress bar on the cauldron wall, Yang Jue felt enlightened.

He doesn't have to kill Gao Jia, he just needs to be stronger than the former master, and he can subdue his obsession, at least, he can see the refining progress.

"Zheng Changgong's unwillingness, great regret, cannot be due to the change of dynasty, it is inevitable. The reason why he is unwilling must be because he had a chance to make a comeback!"

Yang Ju was thinking hard, but suddenly his heart moved.

Sorry, because I missed it.

"That's right! It should be like this! Things that can't be done at all should not be regrets, nor should they be obsessions! It's because I thought badly before..."

"That is to say, Zheng Changgong thought that with him at that time, he would have had a chance to make a comeback, at least, it would be better than before!"

"Hope my guess is right..."

Taking a deep breath, Yang Ju stepped into the white light again.

hum~
hum~
hum~
The refining of Kuixing's ranking map is different from that of nine oxen and two tigers. Although it also consumes ingredients, it does not consume the energy stored in the cauldron of gluttony again.

And the ingredients that Yang Ju has collected these days are enough to withstand waste.

Therefore, amidst the flashes of white light again and again, Yang Qiu started his own experiment.

The second time, he didn't stay in a daze. Before the young generals came to report, he got up and started to read the silk script to understand the situation at that time.

until he was killed by the enemy.

The third time, still the same.

The fourth time, the fifth time...

After eight times, Yang Qiu has a deeper understanding of the situation and crisis at that time, and the next step is to make various attempts.

It's a pity that Zheng Changgong's body is too weak, even if he takes the life-burning elixir, he can only fight for it. However, Gao Jia can't get out, and his subordinate Jiedushi has given up resistance.

Tried again and again, no matter whether it was coercion or lure, they could not appease the rest of the Jiedushi before the enemy came.

call!
After another failure, Yang Yu's spirit was a little exhausted.

"None of these Jiedu envoys is easy to get along with. Although some of them also have hearts for the court, but the time is too short, I can't figure out what these people think..."

Yang Ju put his hand on his forehead.

In any dynasty, there are loyal people, and those Jiedu envoys may not all be rebellious, on the contrary, he can also see the unwillingness of some of them.

But he is not Zheng Changgong after all, it is impossible to figure out these veterans in such a short time.

"I think about it, I think about it..."

Yang Jue paced back and forth, his thoughts diverged, and after an unknown amount of time, his spirit was shaken, and he stepped into the white light again.

hum!
Same bed, same pain and weakness.

Without any delay, Yang Jue got up, took out the wound medicine from the tent, swallowed it in one go, and then sat down behind the desk.

Pranayama injuries.

Not long after, the young man reported, but it was too late for them to export, so Yang Qiang spoke first and ordered to go on.

"Jiedu envoys are invited to come to the banquet!"

This is the first sentence.

"By the way, send a person who is good at talking to the enemy camp and invite their envoys to discuss matters."

"what?"

The young generals were shocked, but Yang Ju didn't want to waste time, so he waved them down and asked the musicians to prepare.

"Musician?!"

The young general who was called was completely dumbfounded.

It's already this time, and the musicians are still needed. Is the old general going to surrender?

But because of his power, he didn't dare to refute:

"I don't know what piece I want the musician to play?"

Warden Yang exhaled for a long time, adjusted his breath, and replied after hearing the words:

"King Qin breaks the array!"

　The Tang Dynasty will fall, the Huangchao Rebellion, and Chang'an fall.

Jiedu from all walks of life watched from the sidelines holding heavy weapons, and watched the fire while holding heavy soldiers. Only Fengxiang Jiedu Zheng Tian had the heart to serve the country, but it was difficult to support alone.

There must be no joy in the banquet seat, and call for advocates.Advocacy can only play military music.At the end of the song in the hall, all the generals were silent, and all the officials covered their weeping, stained with tears.

At night, all the generals visited Zheng Tian, ​​and Chen Jieyi vowed not to surrender.So the whole army had three drums, the Kou envoys took the lead, and the Qi thieves were defeated, and the world was shaken.

The military music played that night was "The Music of the King of Qin Breaking the Array".
