Chapter 78: Borrowing Wind and Thunder from Heaven and Earth (Part 2)

"You covered the moon as soon as you came, ruining my tea ceremony. It's really a bit suspicious. You are born with bad luck. To be honest, I don't expect this meeting at all. A general is incompetent and killed thousands of troops. "

Yan Li's opening remark was not at all polite, and his words were as straight as a sword and rain, breaking the legendary myth of King Shangwu.

This is Yan Li’s true thoughts, and it also tests Ji Dongling’s kingly spirit.

When King Shangwu heard this, he was not angry at all, but only sighed.

"Ah... As Junior Brother Yan said, Ji's wisdom is simple and short, and as for today, he is really ashamed." King Shangwu called him junior brother, and he talked equally with his true identity as the true teaching of Yunzong, which shows his sincerity.

He paused and said in a deep voice: "I had to do it in the Mid-Autumn Festival situation. However, I had made every calculation but still failed. Ji Dongling was in trouble for the mistake of making a decision. Now my junior brother has obtained the true teachings of Yunzong, and from then on, the fish leaped over the Dragon Gate, and the world can be obtained, so there is no need to trek into my muddy water. The Yunqiu Gate mentioned by Qingyue is a good place to hide my identity. My junior brother should consider it carefully, and do not make himself famous all over the world and repeat my mistakes."

He is ridiculed but not angry, he is responsible for his mistakes but not blindly, and he shows sincerity when he speaks of his way out. He is not necessarily a king, but a righteous gentleman.

Unfortunately, only a gentleman's character, but no gentleman's means, he often cannot fight villains.

But Yan Li was satisfied with this.

"Hahaha..." Yan Li laughed and stood up to greet him, "Those words are worthy of my cooking tea. Brother Ji, please come to the table."

"So, I'm disrespectful." After King Shangwu finished speaking, the dark clouds suddenly subsided on the lotus pond, and the hazy moonlight reappeared.

In the clouds and mist, a speed vehicle with a green gauze curtain was quietly suspended on the lotus pond.

The veil jumped away and a figure of Gundam was erect.

He wore a purple gold crown on his head, a luxurious black water cloud robe, a black jade black gold dragon belt hanging on his waist, and a black cloud patterned battle boots on his feet. In his mighty power, he further highlighted the aura of the royal nobles.

Ji Dongling walked in the air, stepped through the lotus pond, and entered the pavilion.

This is the first time Yan Li has seen the legendary King Shangwu.

King Shangwu Ji Dongling's body is extremely solid, no different from a living person, and he cannot tell at all that he is a ghost body. His face is sixty or seventy percent similar to Shang Shaoqing. He blends the elegant gentlemanly style in his stern and heroic posture, and is a rare beauty.

The two sat opposite each other in the pavilion, holding a cup of fragrant tea each.

Ji Dongling looked at the tea and sighed: "Looking back then, I was also a tea lover. Unfortunately, now I only have ghost bodies left. Even though my magical powers are as good as before, I can only look at the color of the tea and the shape of the tea, and I can never taste the fragrance of tea again."

"The true teachings of Yun Sect are mostly related to the way of resurrection. If Senior Brother Ji can understand the wonders of "Yun Body and Feng Body" in the Six True Teachings, he may be able to reshape his body." Yan Li said.

"Haha, the true teachings of Yun Sect are invisible. I am already blessed by God to understand the "Wind and Thunder Sword Art". How difficult is it to do more?" King Shangwu shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Oh? Senior Yu once said that the senior brother has already found the path to "Xuan Gang Qi". Since he has obtained two items, he may not be able to go further."

"I am trapped in the underworld for a hundred years. I often listen to ghost singing by the Styx River. I have only gained a little bit of enlightenment and a glimpse of the way. If you want to understand, I don't know when it will be..." Ji Dongling sighed, "You are junior brother, you don't know which of the six true teachings you have understood? I think you are free and easy, unconventional, is it "Cloud Body and Wind Body" or "Thunder Cloud Spirit Tao"?"

"Haha... can I keep it secret?" Yan Li smiled.

"Of course, just like the king's wish." Ji Dongling stopped asking and said, "I came tonight for the purpose of the conferring gods by Venerable Wangyun. It happened that my junior brother was cooking tea to wait. I think that when the conferring emperor was granted, my junior brother was also in the outer courtyard. I wonder if there were any other experiences?"

"Same as you see." Yan Li replied indifferently.

"Ha..." King Shangwu chuckled, "Junior brother's answer is mysterious."

"The so-called mystery is known to those who hear it, and it will not be effective if you say it." Yan Li took a sip of tea and said leisurely, "The greetings are over here, let's get to the main topic."

"Ji Dongling listened carefully." King Shangwu said seriously.

"Since my senior brother admits that he is incompetent and kills Qianjun, have you ever thought about where to make mistakes?"

"Uh..." King Shangwu was stunned. No matter what kind of cultivation was, he would be embarrassed if he was exposed in person. "This matter...ah, I originally wanted to use the Fenglei Sword Technique as bait to invite all the ghost kings in Fengdu to join the game. Who knew... "

"Stop." Yan Li interrupted, "I know this answer very well, and there is no need to waste time."

"Oh?" Ji Dongling frowned slightly, revealing a thoughtful look, "Dongling Lu Du, please tell me clearly."

"A world situation is like a battle situation. We must first figure out who is an irreconcilable enemy, who is a firm ally, who is a potential opponent, and who is the help that can be won over. And where does all the division of positions come from?"

When Ji Dongling heard this, his sword eyebrows frowned even more. There seemed to be countless past events flashing past. After a while, he spoke: "There are thousands of threads, and the division of enemies and friends is not right, but I don't know where to start..."

"Of course, it starts from the source." Yan Li put down the teacup and smiled, "After a hundred years ago, or another twenty years ago, when his senior brother was the prince of Yan, what situation was facing? How did he evolve to this day?"

"My junior brother must have already understood these past events." Ji Dongling said.

"Events are events, and mentality is mentality. Only the senior brother knows many things. I think this past that is unbearable to look back on is the beginning of your mistake." Yan Li said.

"Okay, since my junior brother is so persistent," Ji Dongling sighed, slowly telling the past a hundred years ago. "In the past, Yan State was a small country with few people, and there was a risk of wandering Yan Pass, and it was extremely poor. Ji was sympathized with the God of Pity for Computing the "Wind and Thunder Sword" and let our clan and people recuperate for ten years. I thought that if one more step was working, I could completely quell the disaster of wandering Yan Pass and strengthen our Yan State..."

"Senior brother intends to strengthen Yan State?" Yan Li interrupted, "Do you still have plans to start a sect?"

"Well. Yan State has experienced wars for hundreds of years and its people's livelihood has declined. As a royal family, I naturally have the responsibility to prosper the country." Ji Dongling nodded, "As for the establishment of a sect... it is impossible for him to pacify Yanguan without enough practitioners..."

"Have you ever announced these plans by my senior brother?" Yan Li asked.

"Of course, this is something that cannot be told." Ji Dongling nodded, "What's more, this is the expectation of Yan State for many years."

"Ha." Yan Li chuckled, "Senior Brother has never thought that this is the root of all disasters?"

"Oh?" Ji Dongling's eyes flashed with divine light. He was also a smart person. Otherwise, how could he comprehend the true teachings of Yunzong? A word of awakening was enough for him to think a lot, "You mean that when the Jade Emperor Temple was acting in the past, he did not want to see the prosperity of Yan State, nor did he want to see my Ji Dongling establish a sect, rather than simply coveting the true teachings of Yunzong?"

"Of course." Yan Li nodded and said, "How can you allow others to snore on the side of the bed? Have you never thought that once the Yan State grows, what will happen to the Western Qin Dynasty?"

"This... may not be a bad thing for Western Qin? If the Wandering Beast Tide can be achieved once and for all, Western Qin will no longer have to support Yan State for many years..." Halfway through speaking, Ji Dongling's voice lowered.

"Ha." Yan Li chuckled, "Senior Brother thought of it too. That little support is a drop in the bucket for the Western Qin Dynasty. The key is that once the Yan State grows and the population is prosperous, it will inevitably expand its territory. And the location of Yan State is the Songxing Mountains to the east, overlooking the Jishui Channel to the south. If it is really expanded, it will be difficult for the Western Qin Dynasty to maintain trade with the Eastern Qin Dynasty. It is like concealing a corner of the northwest, and its national strength will only decline.

"Let's talk about the sect. Now that the Western Qin Dynasty's army is booming, the Jade Emperor Temple and Jinxiu Palace are two strong men. If the senior brother starts a sect, he will inevitably become a three-legged tripod, and the resource allocation will be short of money. Moreover, the senior brother's new sect is in the way of the Yanguan beast tide, and he will definitely monopolize the materials of ferocious beasts, causing the above two families to lose a lot of money.

"Besides, the senior brother is the true teaching of Yun Sect, not a divine monk. Even if the sect worships gods, he will be the dragon god of the four seas, not the emperor of the Heavenly Court. Such faith will expand as the Yan Kingdom grows, and it will be the complete shrinkage of the Jade Emperor's incense. How can they tolerate you?

"This is the first mistake for senior brother."

"Oh..." King Shangwu sighed again, "I have always felt that what the Jade Emperor Temple planned back then was not just a inheritance, but I never thought that the roots had been planted long ago. According to my junior brother, the Jade Emperor Temple really couldn't stand the prosperity of Yan State. But Jinxiu Palace is also a lineage of Yunzong, so why can we be at peace with each other?"

"The Jinxiu Palace is just a branch and may not believe in the Dragon God. What's more, the two families coexist for a long time, and they have a tacit understanding in secret." Yan Li sneered, "It seems that the senior brother's royal family of Yan Kingdom has been fighting for a long time, and has forgotten the change of power and strategy. But on the other hand, once the elites of Yanguan grow and grow, how can the Western Qin resist the Central Plains?"

King Shangwu is also a smart person, but he has never been involved in power and strategy since he was a child. After waking up with one word, he naturally knew the cause and effect. He sighed: "What my junior brother said! When the senior brother understood the "Wind and Thunder Sword Art", he thought he was unlikely to have a rival in the world. In addition, he was young and crazy, and he had said many bold words. Now it seems that Yan State is in a place of death, and was strictly guarded by monks from all sides, and he has no chance to turn around... "

"This is not necessarily true."

"Oh?" Ji Dongling's eyes lit up and he stared at Yan Li.

"If there is no chance, if all the monks in the world are all solid and cannot allow emerging forces to get a share of the pie, why did Buddhism protect your descendants back then? How could your soul be safe in Fengdu Ghost City until now?

"Thinking about it, since the interests of the Western Qin Dao Sect are so concerned about, why didn't he cross the Songshan Mountains and go to Dongqi to fight the autumn wind of the Confucian Sect; or go south to Chu State to prosper the incense of his Heavenly Emperor in the Buddhist realm?

"This is the second mistake of senior brother. Over the past sixty years, you have too little information!"

"Well, it's true." Ji Dongling nodded, "I'm exploring the Ghost City of Fengdu and still have limited knowledge. It can be seen that the Taoist sect and even the three religions are all stable, and they can be like a stagnant pool. In such a deadlock, how can we have room for action?"

"Ha." Yan Li chuckled, "Since it is a pool of stagnant water, it should be stirred up by wind and clouds. The senior brother has fully understood the "Wind and Thunder Sword Art". Have you forgotten the secret of this method? It is not to turn the sword in your hand into the wind and thunder of heaven and earth, but to turn the wind and thunder of heaven and earth into the sharp sword in your hand.

"At this moment, I am borrowing wind and thunder from the heaven and earth!"
