"I won't send him away. You decide your own path ahead." Zuo Xiao finally said.

The study, which had been bustling all spring, became very quiet when summer came.

The grandfather and grandson, who sat opposite each other at the desk every day, studying and studying the art of sealing, have already left.

After people leave, the room full of books cannot fill the emptiness.

There is a beam of window light on the desk, and outside the aperture, there is a closed book lying flat. It has not been read for a long time, and it is silent at this moment when the strong light cannot reach it.

It was the last one Jiang Wang read.

On the cover it says:.

The author is Zuo Qiuwu.

…

Before leaving the Chu Kingdom, I met Duke Yu.

He came in his regular clothes, walked across the sky, and without saying anything else, handed over a food tray: "Because of the threat of an old man who wishes to remain anonymous, I specially made a tray of 'Purifying Mind God' for you. "Ding Gao", when you feel like you can't resist the will of heaven, just eat one, it will make you feel better. There are nine in total, so save some."

Jiang Wang took the food drawer, sniffed it gently, and smiled brightly: "It smells so good!"

Qu Jinkui said: "Is there more?"

He added: "It's useless to have too much."

So I saluted and said goodbye.

Jiang Wang hung his sword on his body and walked on the wind.

People say that the process of heaven and man walking towards the way of heaven is the process of "seeing the way" and "obtaining the way". In this process, heaven and man with unparalleled talents will become eternally powerful.

In Jiang Wang's opinion, the process of heaven and man moving towards the way of heaven is a process of drowning.

Lose emotions, lose everything.

The moment he reaches the end, he kills himself.

Now is not the time for comfort before death. There is no such thing as "carpe diem" or "final madness". He doesn't think he will die, and he doesn't accept the inevitable outcome of failure.

And even if it is inevitable to be swallowed up by the law of heaven and die tomorrow, his freedom is upward, not downward.

Jiang Wang, who left Chu State alone, took the half-finished seal diagram designed by Zuo Xiao for him, intending to seal the second level of heavenly human form.

This name certainly places the good hopes of the elders on it.

But it can only be a semi-finished product.

The human form of the second heaven is inherently stronger than the human form of the first heaven, and it is more difficult to seal the town. In addition, Zuo Xiao can only work from the outside in. Without being able to touch him, he cannot specifically contact the second heaven. The human form can only be conceived and constructed through Jiang Wang's own sensory description - which is of course a huge fallacy.

In addition to studying the sealing technique these days, Jiang Wang is constantly studying his second heavenly human form so that he can fully analyze all its details, striving to give Zuo Xiao a more accurate understanding and thus be more targeted. Create a sealing technique on earth.

All we can say now is that the road ahead will be long and difficult.

The deduction became more and more difficult as it progressed. So Zuo Xiao even invited Qi Guanzhen - of course, it was not that Qi Guanzhen treated the state of heaven and man as a disease. But he had some dangerous ideas that he wanted to try. For example, could it be possible? Cutting out the state of heaven and man like a sore...

Official Qi was really invited to save Jiang Wang's life.

In the end it didn't work.

The state of a heavenly being is not like a tumor or a sore on the body. It is about a practitioner entering a wonderful realm at a certain stage and getting closer to the eternal truth about the way of heaven.

Even if Jiang Wang is peeled off and his bones removed, this favor of heaven cannot be removed.

It has always been recognized by the world that the royal family of the Yang Kingdom are the best at sealing.

The surname of Jiu Yangshu was from the royal family, and she was a descendant of Qing Emperor Sui Yansu.

This king is one of the eight ancient sages. He once patrolled the human territory day and night, protecting countless ordinary people who could not be extraordinary from evil spirits. He also created a sealing technique unique to the human race, and based on this, he developed the method of controlling the strong with the weak. Animal skills.

The myth and legend of the Day-Wandering God and the Night-Wandering God evolved from her deeds. Later human cultivators regarded her as their ancestor in the art of sealing and controlling beasts.

That is to say, these two paths of practice have failed.

.

The glorious scene was no longer glorious. The Yang Kingdom was also destroyed, and the royal family surnamed Ji no longer existed. This "Ancestor of the East", who was also the "ancestor of the seal" and the "original ancestor of beast control", gradually faded away from his existence.

As the overlord of the Eastern Region after Yang State, Qi State did inherit the Yang State legacy from Chen Chen at a certain period of time, and even said that he was the ancient Yang Zhengshuo.

But it was still the original "Nine Kingdoms of the Rising Sun" that first divided up the Yang Kingdom and "eat the Yang and become fat".

Of course, the Nine Kingdoms of Sunrise, which once dominated the Eastern Region and competed for supremacy, have been destroyed by Qi, and the remaining three kingdoms of Xu, Zhao, and Chang have also bowed their heads.

There is not much problem in saying "the treasures of the old sun are all in the treasury of the people of Qi".

Even the former Taiyang Palace has become the current Jixia Academy.

However, after many years of war and the destruction of many countries, most of the secret techniques of the Jiuyang royal family were lost. The sealing techniques passed down by the Qing Emperor had long since disappeared.

In the entire Qi Kingdom, there is really no master who is good at sealing arts, and can be said to be stronger than Zuo Xiao in sealing arts.

This is also the reason why Zuo Xiao wanted to keep Jiang Wang in Chu State to solve the problem in the first place.

Now after a spring, the Chu State still cannot solve the threat of celestial beings and humans, so it is natural to try other methods.

It is definitely necessary to visit Qi State. If time permits, Jiang Wang will not miss the "Guyangzhengshuo" of Xu State, Zhao State and Chang State.

However, he did not go east immediately. Regarding matters in the Eastern Region, just write a letter. When it came to arranging these matters, Chong Xuan Sheng was much more flexible than him.

The strongest sealing technique inheritance is the inheritance of Qingdi. Everyone admits this. But in the book written by the contemporary dean of Qinku Academy, he repeatedly emphasized——

The most powerful feudal town in history, which is still standing today, was created by the emperors of the Middle Ages.

It is the "Nine Towns of the Changhe River".

The nine sons of the Lieshan family, the dragon-making emperor, and the Xihun family were the nine towns. The Changhe River has been peaceful since then and has been peaceful for hundreds of thousands of years.

In Zuo Qiuwu's comment, the Nine Towns of the Changhe River are the greatest wonders of the closed towns. It is just that the Lieshan clan and the Xihun clan once sat and talked about Taoism and fought side by side, but later they killed their nine sons to build the Nine Bridges... The cruelty of this incident, It obscures its greatness to a certain extent.

In his writings, Zuo Qiuwu cited many historical materials to verify the unshakable great status of the nine towns of Changhe in the field of sealing, and also demonstrated in detail the influence of the nine towns of Changhe on later generations of sealing.

Although Jiang Wang has just started in the field of sealing arts and does not fully understand the significance of the Nine Towns of Changhe in sealing arts, he still admires it.

Therefore, his first journey away from the Queen of Chu was to the Luo Kingdom.

To be more precise, it is Qi Niu Bridge, the first town in the Changhe River near Luo Kingdom.

The Luo Kingdom, known as the "Kingdom on the Water", naturally relies on water for drafts, and its domestic economy is mainly based on river harvesting. It has never had a sense of existence. Until a certain king suddenly "enlightened", at a banquet, his ears were full of wine, and he raised his voice. Cup shouted: "Aren't aquatic animals aquatic products?"

At that time, the officials were so frightened that they leaned over and the singer forgot to sing.

But since then, the Luo Kingdom has started the Shui Tribe slave business semi-openly, ushering in a period of abnormal economic prosperity.

Later, they even had a "three-legged confrontation" with Zhuang and Yong. Even if they were weak, they would not lose much in the matter of "rich treasury". In the past, whether Yong bullied Zhuang or Zhuang defeated Yong, they could not ignore the existence of the Luo Kingdom. .

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long.

Since Zhuang Gaoxian's indiscriminate attack a few years ago, the Luo Kingdom's power has been in a state of decline——

The man surnamed Zhuang completed part of the transaction with Long Jun, but unfortunately he died of Sauvignon Blanc without waiting for the reward. Their transaction naturally went to sleep with him.

But the blows suffered by Luo Country did not stop there.

The slave business of the Shui Tribe is expressly prohibited. In the current environment of preparations for war against Shenxiao, the top management of the human race must maintain the stability of the world, especially to appease the Shui Tribe.

The ancient covenant was mentioned again and again, and the contribution of the Shui Tribe to the stability of the world was confirmed again and again. Changhe Longjun was even invited into Tianjing City, and the Emperor Ji Fengzhou drank with him and admired the flowers.

Luo Guo stepped on the belt with his feet

.

The dotted line of warning turned into a solid line of murderous intent. Life became difficult.

Of course Jiang Wang was also concerned about these things. Taixu cabinet ministers have no authority to interfere in worldly affairs, but the young man named Jiang Wang rescued the Bei girl by the Qingjiang River for the first time. It was indeed at that time, I saw the "difference" between the world I had known in the past and the real world.

Someone asked him at that time - "What history do you know?"

After that, he often asked himself - is what you saw really the truth?

A living being's understanding of the world begins with doubt.

Jiang Wang silently observed the situation in the Luo Kingdom, and also supported the ancient alliance between the human race and the Shui Tribe. Now he passed through the Luo Kingdom without entering, and went straight to Qi Niu Bridge.

As the eldest son of the Xihun family, the name "Prison Niu" was also a well-known name in the medieval times.

Even now that the Dragon Clan has been expelled and a large amount of information has been erased, the eldest son of the Dragon Emperor is mentioned in the book passed down as the "serious scripture of the human race". He is said to be "extravagant, extravagant, evil-natured, and prone to slander." Various departments have repeatedly made mistakes in important matters."

But in what Jiang Wang just read, Zuo Qiuwu also mentioned a few words about Prisoner Niu, saying that he "has a good temperament, a gentle nature, good deeds, and is respected by all parties."

The comment says, "The first of the nine towns in the Yangtze River can use its virtues to achieve long-term peace and stability."

Even Ao Kui once said when he was scolding Ao Shuyi that the prisoner cow is lenient and good at happiness...

Now that hundreds of thousands of years have passed, it may not be that important anymore which one is the more real prisoner cow.

At least Jiang Wang now has no intention of exploring.

He just wanted to know how the emperor of the Middle Ages sealed the town as a prisoner of cattle and how it lasted so long.

He also rode across this bridge across the Changhe River when he first climbed to the top of the Yellow River. It was the bridge named "Suanni" in the fifth town of the Changhe River.

At that time, he knew nothing about the sealing technique, and his cultivation was far behind. All he could see was the majestic long river, the majestic stone bridge, and his heart was full of the leader of the Yellow River, the best in the world. How could he feel how great a seal this was?
