Chapter 368 Seven Nations Conspired to Encircle and Suppress the Great Zhou Dynasty, Just for the Imperial Seal
"Now you possess a variety of unique skills and treasures. In addition, reciting war poems can once again increase your combat power. It has indeed given you the strength to fight across levels and increased your self-confidence."
"This also has a lot to do with your travels. After all, the literati in the secular world are inferior in terms of strength and talent. And you have stayed in the secret territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty for a full year, and you have seen that Many 'geniuses' from various countries are not worth mentioning in your eyes, which will inflate your mentality."
"In addition, you are a genius yourself, so it is normal for you to have such a mentality."
Ning Pingan's words made Ci Song fall into silence. He thought about Ning Pingan's words carefully and couldn't help but start to reflect in his heart.
Indeed, since he entered the world of cultivation, he has shown great strength whether he is facing literati in the secular world or facing geniuses in the secret realm of Great Zhou. This gave him the illusion that he had become an unparalleled power without even realizing it.
However, Ning Ping'an's words at this moment made him understand that there was something wrong with his mentality. He is overconfident, even arrogant. This mentality is very dangerous for practitioners.
"Teacher, I understand." Ci Song raised his head, with a firm light shining in his eyes, "I will adjust my mentality and no longer look down on any opponent."
Ning Ping'an nodded with satisfaction and said: "Very good, just understand. Confucius said: 'If you are arrogant and stingy, the rest will be inadequate.' Remember, no matter when and where, you must maintain a humble mind. Heart."
"Of course, even if you don't change, there is nothing wrong. As the saying goes, you are young and frivolous. Your father is your age and not as capable as you, but he is much more arrogant than you. I am just giving you a warning. Don't take it to heart. superior."
Ning Pingping waved her hand, then picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.
"Yes, disciple understands."
Ci Song replied respectfully, and at the same time he breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that although Ning Ping'an's words were harsh, they were expectations and teachings for him. He understood that Ning Ping'an hoped that he could become a truly strong man, not a proud and complacent person.
"Teacher, you came to me today. Do you have something to tell me?" Ci Song asked about Ning Ping'an's purpose. Ning Ping'an put down the teacup in her hand and slowly said, "Well, I do have one thing to discuss with you."
"Teacher, please speak." Ci Song said respectfully.
"Not long ago, the seven countries reached an agreement. They are ready to join forces to jointly destroy the Zhou Dynasty." Ning Ping'an said slowly.
Ci Song had a puzzled look on his face, "Why?"
"Because the existence of the Great Zhou Dynasty has threatened their interests." Ning Ping'an explained, "Although the Great Zhou Dynasty is weak, its heritage still exists. Ji Shun is still alive. He is also a saint in the Seven Kingdoms. Don’t dare to provoke them easily.”
"Then why are they joining forces now?" Ci Song asked doubtfully.
"The reason is also very simple. The seven countries are competing for the national jade seal." Ning Ping'an explained.
"The imperial seal?"
Ci Song was stunned, wasn't this thing in his jade pendant?
"The world will be in chaos, and only those who have the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom can control the fate of Tianyuan and become the true master of Tianyuan. The Seven Kingdoms are preparing to destroy the Great Zhou Dynasty, and then send the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom to the Palace of the First Master, until the day when the world is unified , and then take it out from the Master's Hall and hand it over to the king who rules the world." Ning Ping'an continued.
"Teacher, is this national jade seal really so important? Ci Song asked. He had played with the jade seal yesterday and didn't find anything special about it at all.
"Of course it is important. The Imperial Jade Seal is the condensed form of the Heavenly Dao of Tianyuan Continent and represents the destiny of the continent. Of course, these are also rumors, because in the history books, it is only recorded that the first Emperor of Zhou Dynasty used this object. , nothing else.”
"It is now more of a symbol, symbolizing the orthodox status of the dynasty. Only those who obtain the jade seal can command Tianyuan to unify the world, and no one in the world dares to disobey the will of the people."
"However, no one knows where this national jade seal is hidden. Its whereabouts have always been a mystery."
Ning Ping'an spoke slowly, explaining the origin and importance of the imperial seal to Ci Song.
"So, teacher, what does this matter have to do with me?"
Ci Song asked, did the teacher already know that the imperial seal was in his hands?
"Have you forgotten your identity? You are the son of the general of the Liang Kingdom. This time the seven countries join forces to encircle and suppress the city of the Great Zhou Dynasty, you will definitely participate." Ning Ping'an replied.
"Shouldn't this kind of thing be a matter of serious generals leading troops to encircle and suppress it?" Ci Song asked rhetorically.
Hearing this, Ning Ping'an shook his head with a smile and said: "The Great Zhou Dynasty will undoubtedly be destroyed this time, but at the same time, it is also a good time for the seven countries to show their national strength. The seven countries will send the most outstanding practitioners of each generation to the Great Zhou Dynasty. Empire."
"Teacher, what you mean is that I will also become a representative of the Liang Kingdom and go to the King of Zhou Dynasty to participate in the war?" Ci Song guessed.
Ning Ping'an nodded and said: "That's natural. Maybe King Liang will issue an edict for you to participate in the war after a while. I'm here to remind you so that you can prepare in advance so that you don't go to war again. He was confused."
"Teacher, after working on it for a long time, are these all your guesses?"
Ci Song originally thought that Ning Ping'an would tell him some definite news, but he didn't expect that what he said turned out to be his guess.
"What? Do you think I am talking nonsense?" Ning Ping'an had a "kind" smile on his face.
"Disciple is ready to fight for the country at any time." Ci Song straightened up instantly, looking excited.
"Things come and go, people come and go, the world is unpredictable now, and people are inevitably impetuous. Ci Song, cherish this time in the academy."
After that, Ning Pingan put down the teacup in his hand, and his figure disappeared.
"Yes, I was drunk and dreaming all day long, and I stole half a day of leisure in my life."
Ci Song also sighed. Since he came to this world, he has been pushed forward by various events. Even during the year he traveled with Ning Pingan, he lived in fear every day. There was no way. There were too many people who wanted to harm him, and he had to be vigilant every day.
Now that he is back in the academy, he can finally have a moment of peace, and he really has to cherish it.
"It's better to be in the academy. There are no worldly worries, no entanglements of hatred, only pure practice and learning."
Just as Ci Song moved the recliner in the room to the door of his room, lay on it, closed his eyes, emptied his mind, and enjoyed the rare quiet time, a figure pushed open the door of his courtyard.
"Wow, Ci Song, why is the place you live so shabby?"
