Chapter 1742 Dugu Is Truly Invincible, the Blessed Land of Donghai Mountain

Gong Bai is from Luo State. He became a god by chance when he was fifty-three years old.

Of course, this "coincidence" process was not so gentle.

Snakes have their own ways, rats have their own ways, and different people always have their own ways.

Ordinary people rely on mountains to make a living, and rely on water to make a living. In Luo State, of course, he makes a living by making a living by the water.

Luo State, known as the "Water Country", is the country that best reflects the contradictions between the human race and the water race, and is also the country that the water race is most hostile to.

Every time the Yellow River Conference is held, the old dragon in the Changhe Dragon Palace will dress up in gorgeous clothes and sit on the viewing platform to watch the ceremony.

The Qingjiang Water Tribe of Zhuang State fully surrendered to the Zhuang Court, the Lanhe Water House of Yong State has always fought for the Yong Court, and the Weihe Water Tribe is a powerful force of the Qin Army... This is common in all parts of the world.

The covenant between the human race and the water tribe was signed in the Middle Ages. It has continued to this day, and the two sides are close and close, friends rather than enemies.

Under the situation that humans and aquatic creatures have lived in harmony for hundreds of thousands of years, or that aquatic creatures have fully submitted to humans, everything that happened in Luoguo can't be called "contradiction".

Contradiction is at least a mutual relationship, and Luoguo should be said to be a unilateral bullying of aquatic creatures.

Everyone in Luoguo knows how to swim and how to sail.

The monks in Luoguo are also generally proficient in water-walking Taoism - rather than proficient in water-walking Taoism, it is better to say that they are proficient in "Taoism to deal with aquatic creatures", which is more appropriate.

In Luoguo, the sale of aquatic slaves is almost a semi-public business. And this is explicitly prohibited in many places.

It can even be said that the slave business is a business prohibited by law -

Once upon a time, it was not uncommon.

The enslavement of one group of people by another group of people runs through the history of the human race.

Before the predecessor Bingwu, one of the eight ministers of the human emperor, known as the "ancestor of soldiers", stood up, "superb monks" and "ordinary people" were almost regarded as species from two worlds.

At that time, many people who were born with open meridians regarded themselves as human beings and regarded others as monkeys.

Later, there were qi and blood rushing to the meridians, and there were military tactics... It was the power of countless ordinary people gathered together that ended the extremely dark ancient times.

Of course, until now, there are still many people who are stronger, smarter, and richer than others, and do not regard others as human beings. But this is no longer a mainstream view, it does not conform to the moral concepts of the world, and violates the laws of various countries... Any knowledgeable person can stand up for justice. For example, Jiang Wang punished Ge Heng in Qingyang Town, which was a great righteousness.

There were countries in the world that openly sold human slaves, and they rose rapidly relying on the huge profits of human trafficking.

Later, Han Shentu, Wu Bingyi, Gongsun Buhai, and the three great true monarchs of the Sanxing Palace joined forces to destroy their country, and then this trend was suppressed.

For example, the fighting arena popular in the northern region also widely used slaves to fight to the death at the beginning.

Nowadays, except for death row prisoners, most fighters voluntarily sign contracts with the fighting arena and receive corresponding remuneration. Slaves are not allowed to exist.

The only situation where human slaves still exist is the prisoners of war after the war between countries.

There has always been a group of people who hold the idea that "the war between countries is unjust, and the collapse of rituals and music has begun from this point on", and are firmly against war. One of the important reasons is that the experience of prisoners of war makes people "feel as if they are still in ancient times". (See "Four Seas Strange Stories")

Of course, the monsters, sea tribes, and Shura tribes are not protected by the law, nor are they subject to the moral constraints of the human race.

So in the Canglang Arena, you can still see the death fights involving monsters.

Let's talk about Luoguo.

Luoguo is just a small country, adjacent to Zhuang and Yong. The blank area formed between the three countries is where the city of Bushuo stands later.

Among the three countries surrounding Bushuo City, Luoguo has always been the last one. In history, there was Fu Yong Ling Zhuang, and there was Lian Zhuang Ji Yong, and it was always the east wind and the west wind that followed the wind.

Logically speaking, Luo State does not have the strength to semi-publicly violate taboos and become enemies with the aquatic creatures of the world.

There are of course complex reasons behind this, but the most important reason is that the aquatic creatures in the world are no longer a whole.

The Dragon King of Changhe claims to rule the aquatic creatures of the world, but in fact he can only manage his Dragon Palace.

The aquatic creatures of Weihe River belong to Qin, the aquatic creatures of Qingjiang River belong to Zhuang... Even the places where the Changhe River passes through, every section belongs to the country. There is absolutely no room for the Dragon Palace of Changhe River to intervene.

And Luo State never provokes those aquatic creatures who have people to support them, and they all "hunt" in some wild lakes and wild waters. Of course, "poaching" in Qingjiang River, Lanhe River and other places has also occurred in history. After all, money moves people's hearts.

Gong Bai, who has the cultivation of the Godly Realm, is the Salt Transport Envoy of Luo State's Salt Transport Envoy Department.

As the government office that controls the economic lifeline of Luo State, this department is called "Salt Transport", and what it actually transports is almost an open secret.

In the small country of Luo, Gong Bai's status is second only to one person, and he is extremely noble. But looking at the world, he is a man who knows his own business and knows his own business.

In recent years, Zhuang and Yong have been making constant moves, expanding and reforming. Luo is a small country with little power, showing weakness on both sides, but it has always been able to rely on its old capital.

Although the slave business can be regarded as a business without capital, under the current situation, the upper limit is very low.

Buying and selling human race is a taboo, the profit is the greatest but the most dare not touch it.

I don't have the ability to plunder the demon race, the sea race, the Shura race...

If I only target the water race, the market will become increasingly unsustainable.

First, the number of "wild" aquatic creatures is limited, and becoming increasingly limited. Second, at least in the next three hundred years, there is no possibility of openly trading aquatic slaves.

Semi-public means that if others turn a blind eye, you can do business. If others open both eyes, you can't do business.

Luoguo certainly has its own ability to survive, but that's all, and it hit the ceiling early.

Luoguo needs a new way out, and Gong Bai also needs a new way out.

After the Taixu Illusion Realm began to expand on a large scale, Gong Bai keenly saw the opportunity and enthusiastically invested in it.

Especially the blessed land system, which made him see that it might be the only possibility of contacting the blessed land in this life!

Although he doesn't have the possibility of a cave, but taking a few steps forward at the level of God's presence is also a different world.

The only problem is that he didn't catch up with the best time. When the qualification to challenge the blessed land needs to be competed, he has no confidence in himself.

But he also has his way.

A while ago, Dan State was involved in an extremely bad "human pill" scandal. Zhang Xun, the Tianjiao of Dan State, died in the incident, and Luo Zhongmin, the Tianpin Danshi who led the human pill incident, was publicly executed by Gongsun Buhai, the head of the Xingren Palace.

The king of Dan State, the prime minister, and 17 other high-ranking officials of Dan State were all escorted to Tianxing Cliff after a public trial. What awaits them will be a long prison term.

Such a big Dan State fell apart overnight.

Of course, it was only the royal family of Dan State and the Dan State court that collapsed.

There is a joint organization that rose from the ruins of the Dan Court, which is called "Yuanshi Dan League".

It integrates the major forces in Dan State and controls all the channels of elixirs.

In the future, the production of elixirs in Dan State will basically be determined by Yuanshi Dan League.

It can be said that Yuanshi Dan League is the highest ruling body in Dan today. Compared with a national regime, it is more like a pure chamber of commerce.

The allies were all from the original Dan Kingdom, mostly alchemists.

But it was not difficult to see the power behind each alchemist.

These "supporters" looked varied. Basically, they were the first to arrive at the scene after the human pill incident. Heroes who uphold justice, punish evil and promote good.

Of course, Qin Jingchu and the other three took the lion's share, dividing up the positions of one leader and two vice-leaders. The other participants, such as Song, Wei, Xumi Mountain, and Nandou Hall, also took some of the spoils, and many precious pill recipes were scattered.

As the saying goes, when a whale falls, all things come to life.

When the Dan Kingdom collapsed, there were more than just these few families who could eat the fat meat?

Even Gong Bai, who was far away in Luo Kingdom, took advantage of the period when the powers were dividing the Dan Kingdom and the Dan Kingdom's pill control was very lax, and spent a lot of money to buy pills at a low price.

This business made him a lot of money.

Among them, there were a full twenty Boiling Blood Green Pills, which he prepared specifically for the challenge of the blessed land.

The Chu Dynasty's forbidden technique, Boiling Blood and Burning Soul, is famous and is a life-threatening forbidden technique. The Boiling Blood Green Pill is made based on its principle.

Of course, taking this pill will temporarily increase combat power, but it will definitely cause irreversible damage to the body.

But what kind of place is Taixu Fantasy?

Everything is simulated, but it can eventually return to "illusion".

Gong Bai spent a lot of energy to copy the Boiling Blood Green Pill into Taixu Fantasy intact. After taking it, he gained a short-term strength in Taixu Fantasy without damaging his real body. Even the Boiling Blood Green Pill was not consumed!

This is simply a genius creation, which allowed him to win the qualification to challenge the blessed land in one fell swoop and successfully win the Donghai Mountain Blessed Land-there were not many participants in Taixu Fantasy before, especially those at the level of God. And every bit of energy is precious, and many people are too poor to start the sword arena. There is a person named Dugu Wudi who has never copied his sword into Taixu Fantasy.

The cost of replicating the elixir is very high, far better than a famous sword. If you use it on the sword arena, even if you win, it will not be worth the loss. So no one has ever thought of this.

According to the current rules of the blessed land challenge, if there are multiple people participating in the blessed land challenge at the same time, these people need to duel two by two, and the strongest person who is finally determined will be qualified to challenge the 72nd blessed land Donghai Mountain.

Gong Bai encountered eleven people participating in the blessed land challenge at the same time, and twenty boiling blood green pills were enough for him to chew to the end.

He also won all the benefits of the Donghai Mountain blessed land with insufficient strength.

It’s a pity that there is a broken rule in the blessed land challenge of Taixu Illusion Realm-as the gatekeeper of the last blessed land, after winning the ownership of the blessed land for the first time, you must guard the blessed land again to get the qualification to challenge the next one.

Otherwise, he should have taken the medicine and went to Mount Lu today.

The 71st blessed land is definitely better than the 72nd.

But then again, after feeling the effect of the boiling blood green pill, his confidence in himself has been raised too much. During this month, he bought the Red-Striped Diamond Pill, the Six-Colored Spirit Body Pill, and the Evil Sun Tiger Soul Pill, and recreated the Great Illusion.

These were the pills that he confirmed would not conflict with each other after several experiments.

These three pills can strengthen his physique, body skills, and soul in a short period of time.

The Boiling Blood Green Pill brings an all-round combat power increase with irreversible damage.

Therefore, when Gong Bai, who was "fully armed", met an extremely handsome man named Dugu Wudi, he was calm and even a little sarcastic.

The four pills of Red Diamond Pill, Six-Color Spirit Body Pill, Evil Sun Tiger Soul Pill, and Boiling Blood Green Pill were swallowed into his stomach, and his spirit and energy were raised to a peak he had never felt before. In this state, he even dared to challenge Xue Mingyi, the martial arts marquis of Yong State!

Who dares to claim to be invincible?

Even Dugu?

"How many competitors did you defeat to win this challenge?" In order to better digest the power of the medicine, Gong Bai took the initiative to ask a question before the official battle.

At this moment, he smelled that his breath was sweet, and every breath he exhaled was filled with power... It was satisfying.

Jiang Wang was a little surprised, but only "somewhat". The state of the opponent in front of him was a little weird. The power was huge and messy. Like a humming kettle, the lid was about to be lifted at any time.

He even worried that if he was slow, the person in front of him would explode.

He answered casually, "Six or seven, I didn't pay much attention."

He had never experienced the threshold of the blessed land challenge before, and it was the first time he knew that he needed to defeat some competitors to win the opportunity to challenge the blessed land.

But this was not difficult for him, and the process was even a bit boring. Many people were not as good as Bai Yuxia in the inner court to surprise him. Bai Yuxia could at least give him a lot of inspiration for fighting. And these opponents only had the power of God, but their tactics were too old and lacked creativity. They can't be said to be weak, but for Wu'an Hou, who was fed with a picky appetite by the Qi State Academy, they were really nothing to write home about.

So in the qualifying round of the blessed land challenge, he was just studying his own combat system throughout the whole process and didn't care too much about his opponents.

Gong Bai frowned, feeling that things were not simple.

Last month, including him, there were only twelve people competing for the qualification to challenge the blessed land. This month, more than sixty-four people have participated in the competition, which shows that the participants in the Taixu Illusion Realm are indeed increasing day by day.

And this Dugu Wudi can stand out among so many people, and his strength may have to be raised to some expectations.

"Is that so..." Gong Bai raised his hand to cover his mouth, yawned, and unnoticeably sent in three more blood boiling green pills.

His whole face flushed, and the hot blood began to surge.

Seven pills were swallowed into the stomach, and my life is in my own hands!

"Ah!"

He didn't care about chatting anymore, because he had too much power in his body and needed to vent it urgently. He suddenly opened his mouth, and a fire dragon roared out, burning through the air and rushing straight to his opponent!

But he only saw a palm raised up, and the fire dragon he sprayed out... was actually extinguished directly.

And in his ears, his own roar sounded - that "Ah!"

This sound cracked the sound pattern knife, and suddenly chopped his ears.

Fortunately, there was a red pattern diamond pill to protect his body, so he only felt pain but not injury.

"Hiss!"

He took a breath of cold air.

But this "hiss" sound also separated the sound pattern sword, and the sword cut his lips and tongue!

The ears were churning, and the mouth was making a fuss in the Heavenly Palace.

The sound pattern became a knife, a spear, a sword, and a halberd. The more they fought, the more they broke. The more they cut, the more they cut.

Gong Bai swallowed a muffled groan, forcibly eliminating the sound, and opened his mouth to spit out two broken teeth and the sound pattern sword energy.

His face flushed, veins popped up on his face, and his huge power was like a raging flame, boiling outside his body!

Under this strange sound-hearing killing method, he didn't dare to fight for a long time. He was determined to use the huge power of the elixir to crush the small eggs with a single blow!

Under the effect of the six-color spirit body pill, his speed was so fast that he couldn't control it himself.

He was like a flash of light in an instant, and he passed Dugu Wudi with just a flash.

Fortunately, Dugu Wudi caught up immediately...

Gong Bai's mind was full of power to be vented at this time. He took a pair of water-dividing spears, and his body turned like a stream of light, and white frost sprayed from his seven orifices.

But on the sword-discussing stage. Two streams of light chased each other and spun rapidly.

There was white frost that was crushed by the sword energy, spreading like fog.

The two sides entered the stage of full contact, killing each other in a small space. In this state, Gong Bai could sway the power of the elixir at will, and every move he made was full of elixir power, and he was not afraid of consumption at all.

But soon he felt uncomfortable.

The discomfort was not the negative feedback brought by the elixir itself, but that every move he made seemed to be predicted! The opponent's swordsmanship did not look very good, but he had a good combat cognition and extremely agile skills, and every sword could cut him at the most uncomfortable pass.

And that damn sound!

Every time he collided, he had to control the sound deliberately. But the opponent was humming and hawing endlessly. The attack caused by the sound was as dense and endless as the tide, and it was getting stronger and stronger!

He was like being broken into by the enemy when he was squatting in the toilet. It was not right to pull up his pants, and it was not right not to pull up his pants. He was in a dilemma.

He simply ignited the Dao Yuan, burned the blood, and released the spiritual consciousness!

He felt like he was exploding!

Under the effect of the Evil Sun Tiger Soul Pill, his spiritual power was already very terrifying, and fighting with spiritual power, even at the level of God, was a very sophisticated skill.

With this soul, he could crush his opponent, do you think he would have a chance?

This is a case of one force defeating ten skills, taking the pill to relieve all worries!

He felt that his power was rising, almost infinitely rising, and he seemed to have touched a limit that he had never reached.

But at the peak of his momentum, a sword suddenly slashed his forehead.

Gong Bai suddenly felt a chill in the ever-expanding physical strength, Dao Yuan power, and soul power, and in the ever-expanding powerful delusion.

He felt like a broken airbag, constantly leaking air, puff puff puff... and quickly deflated.

This sword not only wiped the key point of his physical strength expansion, but also cut off the key node of his soul's expansion and release... Such a terrifying sword! How could such a person come to Taixu Fantasy Realm only now?

There is still a day, and a day...

In the last moment of his consciousness dissipating, Gong Bai comforted himself like this.

When he leaves next month, I don't know if I will come back again.

Not everyone is Dugu Wudi?

The previous chapter mentioned "Xuan Jing Du Jian, Shen Ming Zhao Xi", which comes from Cao Zhi's "Xue Gong Song".

Some book friends mentioned another version "Xuan Jing Zuo Jian, Shen Ming Zhao Xi", which is called "Xue Guan Song".

There are indeed two versions on the Internet. The difference lies in "Du" and "Zuo", "Gong" and "Guan".

I personally think the former is more accurate, because Xuan Jing already means a bright mirror, and the "Jian" in "Du Jian" can be interpreted as a verb as "shining". Then "Xuan Jing Du Jian" can be interpreted as "Ming Jing Du Jian".

In "Zuo Jian", "Jian" can only be a noun. Ming Jing as a mirror does not make sense.

Secondly, there were academic officials in the Eastern Han Dynasty, such as the Five Classics Doctors and Doctor Jijiu, whose ranks were not high. With Cao Zhi's status, there was no need to praise the academic officials, and it would be more appropriate to praise the school palace.

Thirdly, this article is Cao Zhi's article praising Confucius. After the Han Dynasty, Confucius was already a saint and a teacher for all ages. It was not respectful to replace him with "academic officials". It is a relatively reasonable opening to praise Confucius by praising the school palace.

In summary, I chose the version of "Xuan Jing Du Jian".

This passage does not affect the reading of the main text, nor does it involve the worldview of Chixin at all. It is placed here for discussion with readers.

Good afternoon, everyone.
