Chapter 307 Departure for Tianbao Island, A Gentleman Watching Chess Without Talking, The Four Saints of the Confucian Temple

"This overwhelming righteousness seems to be Muxue breaking through her own bottleneck."

In the sky above the palace, Lu Mingyuan and Sui Yuqing stood side by side against the wind. He looked out into the distance and saw Qi Muxue's awe-inspiring righteousness reflected in the golden light.

"She actually broke through two realms from the ninth realm. It seems that the Queen has experienced a lot during these days."

Sui Yuqing's beautiful eyes were clear, looking at Qi Muxue below with a bit of unspeakable envy.

Qi practitioners and Confucianism both rely on enlightenment and state of mind.

Especially for Confucianism and Taoism, as long as you can suddenly realize the great truth, or get out of your own shackles, your future practice will undoubtedly be smooth.

Qi Muxue has obviously passed this stage now.

Before the age of eighteen, he had reached the level of a gentleman.

It took several years to reach the fifth level, but I have not made any progress in my cultivation. Now it is the end of all the hardships.

Even if Sui Yuqing's level is higher than Qi Muxue's now, it's hard to say who will be higher and who will be lower in the future.

Because she didn't know when she would be able to overcome her inner demons.

It could be one year, it could be ten years, it could be a hundred years.

The even worse possibility is that you will remain in your current state for the rest of your life.

Sui Yuqing's thoughts were swirling on the side, but Lu Mingyuan didn't think so much.

He stared at the sacred jade hairpin in Qi Muxue's hand and quickly understood the source of the vision in front of him.

The saint's luck carried by the relics of ancient Confucian saints allowed Qi Muxue to take this important step.

This is also the reason why Qi Muxue was able to break through without creating a new theory.

The Confucianism and Taoism she inherited is the way of the sage to reach heaven, and it is also the way of Qi Xingyan, the way of humble scholars like dragons.

As long as you follow their path, you will be able to do well in the future.

Qi Muxue was able to break through to Da Ru, and Lu Mingyuan was naturally happy from the bottom of his heart.

The body walked down.

Soon he landed at the entrance of the hall.

Lu Mingyuan smiled and said: "It seems that the period of time when you became the Empress of the Underworld has made you think about a lot of things clearly."

Qi Muxue turned her head and saw him. With a wave of her hand, she took the overwhelming righteousness into her body, slowly landed on the ground, and said:

"Yes, the spirit of the magic weapon told me a lot. In a sense, it was a discussion."

"At the same time, I also learned a lot about the truth about the world of Shengming and the underworld, and about the nature of this world. Over the past month, I have locked myself in the palace for retreat, and finally figured everything out."

Qi Muxue's face was no longer as soft and sweet as before, but instead became more serious and persistent.

Since her father's death, she has been in a state of confusion, locking herself in her room and feeling depressed. Even her title as the most talented girl in the Imperial Capital was taken away by a newcomer.

As the saying goes, a new generation replaces the old.

If it were Qi Muxue three years ago, she would be the most talented woman.

Before the age of eighteen, she had already become a gentleman and was the concubine of the academy.

Now, she is more known as Queen of Dayan.

No one treats her as a talented woman anymore.

In three years, she has been surpassed by other geniuses.

Of course, Qi Muxue won't care about these false names.

At this moment, she really needs to do something.

Also qualified and capable to do these things.

"Husband, right now the Great Flame is full of external threats and the world is undergoing drastic changes. You should be leaving the Imperial Capital soon, right?"

In private, Qi Muxue called Lu Mingyuan softly, her eyes could not express seriousness, and she asked directly.

Lu Mingyuan nodded when he heard this: "Yes, the current situation of the Nanli Dynasty and the Song Dynasty is not easy to be optimistic. Soon I will go to Tianbaozhou again, not only for the people of Dayan, but also for the old man, and even the entire human race. ”

The ascension platform is too important to fall into the hands of the demon clan.

"Let me go with you."

Qi Muxue's eyes stared at Lu Mingyuan extremely persistently, motionless.

"You want to follow me to Tianbaozhou?" Lu Mingyuan looked surprised and confirmed again.

"No, it's too dangerous over there. This trip is no joke. Even if you have broken through to Great Confucianism now, your strength is not enough to face many Great Demons of the Wilderness and even the Great Demon of the Throne. I don't want to I saw you had an accident."

Lu Mingyuan persuaded him very seriously and firmly.

Today, Tianbaozhou has gathered all the forces of the entire Manghuang world.

In terms of the strength of the demon clan, it is a hundred times that of Manghuang Cave Heaven.

It is different from the civil strife that the world of Middle-earth has just encountered.

The whole world in Manghuang is in full swing and is open to the outside world.

There were several big demons on the throne alone.

Qi Muxue sighed and said: "I feel very guilty during the War of the Seven Kingdoms. Husband, can you please stop letting me live in regret and self-blame?"

"I know that my husband is doing it for my own good, but every time I am in the palace, I think about my husband taking risks on the front line and the news is unknown, which makes me feel uneasy both physically and mentally."

"I know that I was really weak before, but now I have the ability to protect myself. Even if I can see my husband sitting in the middle of the army, I can feel at ease!"

Lu Mingyuan could feel the determination in Qi Muxue's words.

The other party obviously couldn't stand the loneliness of being alone in the palace, and wanted to be by his side.

Thinking of this, he felt warm in his heart and said softly:

"Have you thought about it? The trip to Tianbaozhou is no more dangerous than the Battle of the Seven Kingdoms."

Qi Muxue nodded heavily: "I also want to do something for my father."

"This is also my responsibility."

"All right."

Seeing that Lu Mingyuan agreed, Qi Muxue's eyes showed surprise.

"Thank you, my husband."

Qi Muxue hugged Lu Mingyuan and hugged him.

Lu Mingyuan also stroked her jade back helplessly.

Sui Yuqing's cheeks looked a little unnatural, and she couldn't help but turn her head and look to the side.

She envied their relationship.

Everyone could see that in terms of the status in Lu Mingyuan's heart, no woman could compare to the queen.

Even her junior sister Yun Qinghe couldn't do it.

But what about her relationship with His Majesty?

Thinking of this, Sui Yuqing's eyes were a little dim.

Another month has passed.

It's already the end of the year, and this year has entered the countdown again.

A lot of major events have happened this month.

The war in the Nanli Dynasty has taken a new turn.

The Emperor of Nanli asked for help from all sides and wrote letters for help to many parties. All countries including Da Yan and Jin Wu received letters.

But there were very few people who came to help.

Because most countries were struggling to protect themselves, how could they have the time to help Nanli.

The Great Sui Dynasty did send thousands of troops, but it was basically the same as nothing.

The Silver Frost Empire gave verbal support and condemned the cruelty and shamelessness of the demons.

The four holy places of the Nanli Dynasty sent many Qigong masters, but they were unable to turn the tide. They were all killed by a great demon named Gang Zhu, who ranked twelfth, and became corpses hanging on the top of the city.

Most of the territory, including the caves and blessed lands along the way, fell and became the base of the demon army.

The Buddhist sect sent 3,000 golden monks and Shenshu Bodhisattva, one of the four great bodhisattvas of Buddhism, to help.

Although the Dao League was far away and could not come for a while, it issued a Dao League order to let the Qigong masters scattered all over the world help Nanli. There were also people with great righteousness who took the initiative to become the registered worshippers established by the Nanli Dynasty and participate in the war.

There are Confucian masters in the Confucian Temple, and military swordsmen have received invitations from the Nanli Dynasty to resist the attack of the demons.

The combined efforts of various forces prevented the demon army from destroying the Nanli Dynasty and losing Tianbaozhou so quickly.

It stopped at the center of Tianbaozhou, a place called Longding Mountain.

In ancient times, Longding Mountain was the altar of the God of Fire, and there was also an ascension platform here.

However, there was a change in Longding Mountain.

The golden monks led by Shenshu Bodhisattva were attacked by Gangzhu. The two sides fought for three days and three nights. Shenshu Bodhisattva took action and broke the mountainside of Longding Mountain.

As a result, it was discovered that the interior of Longding Mountain was a cave left by an immortal.

The entire internal cave was exposed, instantly reversing the situation on the battlefield.

Anyone who stepped into this area would enter the cave boundary.

The current cave has become the center of the battlefield.

The human race and the demon race each fought in the cave battlefield.

The situation is generally unfavorable to the human race.

The demon race has the upper hand.

The main reason is that there are many demon masters in the demon race, whether it is the demon king or the demon lord, the existence of the demon king is several times that of the human race.

The wild world is consuming the energy and strength of the entire world to invade the Middle Earth.

However, the Middle Earth world did not use the power of the entire world, or even half of the world, to resist, which made the resistance difficult.

If the Longding Mountain Cave Heaven falls.

It can basically be said that Tianbaozhou has no chance with the human race. The demon race will completely gain a foothold in the Middle Earth world, establish a base camp, and completely cut off the vast territory of thousands of miles in the west. This will be a disaster for the entire human race.

A month's time also allowed the King of Zhenbei to send back a letter.

The King of Zhenbei said that he obeyed the will of His Majesty and sent 100,000 cavalry, led by three adopted sons, to leave the border and go to the Imperial Capital to meet with the emperor.

Lu Mingyuan also prepared everything and was ready to set off for Tianbaozhou.

The 100,000 cavalry are almost in Beijing now.

The mighty army was black and dense, like a forest of black armor. Every soldier of the Zhenbei Army was extremely tall, with muscular arms and strong blood. Every soldier was a powerful warrior.

They were worthy of being the warriors who guarded the northwest and the border.

They were not inferior to the Great Flame Dragon Riders.

The Zhenbei King spent a decade to form the Zhenbei Army. Every soldier was trained with real gold and silver.

The people selected were from the small town of the Great Wall in the northern border.

Facing such a powerful army, Lu Mingyuan treated it seriously and planned to go out to greet him in person.

This day.

Lu Mingyuan came to the city gate fully armed, with a sword on his waist, a hundred steel meteorite armor, a fiery red stripe with gold, and a golden imperial crown with long hair standing up, adding a heroic spirit to the whole person.

"Go!"

Three generals wearing red cloaks stood out from the black iron cavalry and came to Lu Mingyuan.

All three of them were over 1.8 meters tall, and one of them was even 2 meters tall, like a little giant in the crowd.

"Two Longmen Realm warriors, and there is actually a Vajra Realm warrior. It seems that there are really talented people under the command of the Zhenbei King."

Lu Mingyuan narrowed his eyes and saw through the cultivation of the three people.

He didn't expect that there was actually a Vajra Realm warrior.

In the Great Yan Army, Guanhai Realm can be a general, Longmen Realm can be a marquis, and Vajra Realm can be a king.

The three adopted sons of Zhenbei King Yang Xiao are not ordinary people.

This is still their own cultivation. If combined with military formations and combat skills, these warriors in the army can still burst out with considerable power.

A 100,000-strong army of tigers and wolves, I wonder how much momentum can be superimposed and how much cultivation can be improved?

Lu Mingyuan was still very curious about this.

The first silver-armored young man holding a heavy spear knelt down and saluted, and said excitedly: "Zhongwu General Yang Zaixing has met your Majesty!"

The second one looked taciturn and had dark skin, but he was two meters tall and looked amazingly powerful. He knelt down and the earth trembled.

"Yang Cunxiao, I have met His Majesty!"

The third person was much calmer, with a masculine and unrestrained face, neither humble nor arrogant, and said: "Marquis Zhaowu Yang Zhaoyuan, see your majesty."

At the same time, Yang Zhaoyuan's cultivation level was the highest among the three.

"Is he Yang Zhaoyuan?"

Lu Mingyuan took another look at this masculine and handsome young man who was 1.9 meters tall.

There have been rumors in the northwest.

Yang Zhaoyuan is the successor trained by Zhenbei King Yang Xiao, and he is also the eldest brother among the many adopted sons.

Now it seems that he is indeed a dragon among men.

Before thirty, one can reach the Vajra realm.

This talent is even higher than Huo Hongling.

Lu Mingyuan heard this from Yang Yingchan in private.

Lu Mingyuan helped them up one by one and said softly: "The three generals have worked hard. Next, I have to rely on you all."

Yang Zhaoyuan smiled slightly, looked at the world-famous new Lord of Great Yan for a while, respectfully clasped his fists and said: "No hard work, the one hundred thousand troops under the general will be at your disposal."

Lu Mingyuan nodded, looked at the Imperial City with mottled ancient walls behind him, and the Chinese army's Nine Dragons chariot, in which sat Qi Muxue, Sui Yuqing and the other girls, and said in a deep voice:

"Depart from Tianbaozhou."

The emperor spoke, and hundreds of thousands of troops slowly moved out.

Champion Hou Huoqing acted as the vanguard and took the lead.

But he found a petite woman in red under his hand.

"Hong Ling, why did you run out?"

Huo Qing did not expect that Huo Hongling would pretend to be a soldier and sneak into the army secretly.

"Why don't you go back quickly? This trip is too dangerous. We are fighting against the throne of the demon clan, and you are not a person who can participate in it!"

Huo Hongling pursed her lips, raised her head, and held King Chu's Thousand Mountains and Ten Thousands of Spears in her hand. She looked heroic and said in a cold voice: "Father, even if a daughter is not a man, she can still annihilate the enemy's army and go into battle to kill the enemy!"

Huo Qing looked dissatisfied and educated: "That's nonsense. I only have a daughter like you. You are now a noble concubine of Dayan. You are a noble concubine. If you don't stay in the palace, why are you on the battlefield?"

Huo Hongling retorted: "Now that Qi Muxue has entered the battlefield and accompanied His Majesty on the expedition, what's the point of my daughter staying alone in the capital?"

Huo Qing frowned and said: "The queen is a great scholar of the eleventh realm and has the ability to protect herself. Your cultivation level is only at the Dragon Gate realm and you have never set foot on the battlefield. How can you compare?"

"As a martial artist, I only care about myself and my future as a martial artist will be bleak!"

Huo Hongling left these words behind, said no more, flicked her riding whip, and galloped forward.

Huo Qing sighed and had no choice but to ride his horse and follow.

Several days passed.

When Dayan's army entered the western boundary, they could see endless grasslands and snow-capped mountains 10,000 meters above the ground.

"It is rumored that after walking three thousand miles north of this snow-capped mountain, you will reach Haoranzhou. You will encounter five huge statues as high as the sky. They are the five most profound Confucian saints from ancient times to the present. The Confucian temple is located there. The location behind the Tianshan Mountains.”

In the carriage, Qi Muxue looked at the snow-capped mountains outside the carriage window and said softly.

Although she is a Confucian cultivator, she has never been to the Tianshan Confucian Temple in her life.

"There will be a chance in the future."

Lu Mingyuan heard the sigh in her words and comforted her.

"We are about to enter the territory of the Song Dynasty. Who do you plan to help first?"

Along the way, Yun Qinghe, who had been silent for a long time, finally uttered a word.

"Longding Mountain is the main battlefield for the war between the human and demon clans. I heard from the Taoist League that a new cave has been opened there and it has become a new battlefield. If you go to the Song Dynasty, you may miss it."

Sui Yuqing reminded silently.

Yun Qinghe said nothing, and turned his head to the other side angrily.

It seems that he didn't give his senior sister face.

In fact, the three women were sitting in the car, sitting next to Lu Mingyuan, and the atmosphere was very subtle. This kind of thing didn't happen in a day or two.

Lu Mingyuan had already noticed something was wrong, but there was nothing he could do about it. He smiled awkwardly:

"Let's go to the Nanli Dynasty first. People from the Dao Alliance will also arrive here. We should join them."

Right now.

A holy sun appeared in the sky, and on the other side was the moon hanging upside down. The shadow of the sun and moon cast down the brilliant flower valley. It was windy and rainy, and a golden palace passed through the sky.

When Lu Mingyuan saw this, he exclaimed: "Which saint passed by such a powerful weather?"

Qi Muxue saw this and quickly recognized it.

"The sun and moon are chess pieces, and wind and rain are palaces."

"He is the Chess Saint, one of the Four Saints of the Confucian Temple today."

"Chess Saint?" Lu Mingyuan murmured, but his name was rarely heard.

"It's normal for your husband not to know. As the saying goes, a true gentleman watches chess without speaking. This chess master explains the profound things in simple terms and is not interested in fame and fortune. He is a saint through miscellaneous knowledge and does not belong to the ranks of classic saints. However, the chessboard of heaven and earth came from him. The husband should know about the handwriting."

"He is such a big shot."

Lu Mingyuan nodded.

He looked in the direction of Gongque's flight, which was towards the Nanli Dynasty. He knew in his heart that it should be one of the forces rushing to aid Longding Mountain.

If we can get acquainted and seize the ascension platform, we should be more confident.

So he couldn't help shouting:

"I have heard of your name for a long time, Senior. Could you please come over and have a chat?"
