The heavens begin with the Dharma of absorbing power

Chapter 972: Rebellion, obsession, finding another way, forgetting worries about heaven and man

"Go!"

After the long procession of envoys passed through the city gate, Han Shengxuan, the great eunuch standing on the carriage, jumped on the imperial horse, his bright red python robe rustling.

With the strong wind blowing in his face and his cloak fluttering, Han Shengxuan led the way and headed towards the direction of the Northern Liang Army, which had already been discovered.

After galloping for nearly an hour, Han Diao Si reined in his horse at the top of a high peak and vaguely saw a white cavalry formation in the distance ahead, with white clothes and white armor, and the first group of vanguards were all white horses, like a funeral procession of the whole army in mourning.

The old eunuch, who did not carry any weapons, raised his hands and twisted two strands of white hair hanging from his temples, his hands were wrapped in three thousand dense red silks.

Just when Han Shengxuan had seen the Northern Liang Iron Cavalry from afar, the envoy team that followed him out of Tai'an City was still moving slowly.

Among the more than 200 people, there are 80 Imperial Guards wearing gold swords, and the remaining 100 knights are all wearing black shirts, with different weapons, but without exception, they all have a copper-yellow embroidered fish bag hanging around their waists, and the number of carp embroidered on the copper-yellow bag is about six or seven.

They are martial artists who have been awarded meritorious service by the Liyang court. Most of them work hard for the Ministry of Justice, helping the court to spy on information and hunt down bandits. The court gave them a talisman for traveling in the rivers and lakes. With this fish bag, they can enter the pass city without a household certificate.

Liyang martial artists who made their fortunes in the rivers and lakes are all proud to get a copper-yellow embroidered carp bag.

Among the martial artists who serve Liyang, Liu Haoshi of the Nanyang Liu family, who came from one of the top ten families in the Spring and Autumn Period, has a bag woven with eight golden carps.

It's just that this royal family worshiper who had participated in the White Clothes Case in Beijing and whose years of experience in the celestial phenomena were longer than that of an ordinary person's lifetime, had never worn a fish bag.

During the voyage led by Han Shengxuan, five people wore seven carp fish bags, which symbolized first-class masters, and the rest were all second-class junior masters with six carps.

Two hundred riders escorted only one carriage. This luxurious carriage, which showed the royal style, was pulled by four Ferghana horses. There were more than twenty eunuchs around the carriage, and masters with six or seven tails embroidered on copper yellow fish bags were mixed in among them, each doing their own job in an orderly manner.

Han Shengxuan drove away first, but there were still two people in the carriage. An old eunuch, who was very old, dozed against the wall of the carriage. His bright red python clothes showed that his status was indeed not bad.

This old eunuch who deserves the title of Diao Si is called Zhao Siku. He was already over 40 when he arrived in Tai'an City. After entering the palace, he slowly climbed up the career ladder. He had successively held the seals of Shangbaojian and Yinshoujian, and served two emperors of Liyang, without any leaks.

For so many years, Zhao Diao Si had never made a small mistake, and even Han Shengxuan smiled at this colleague, so he left with peace of mind.

The frail Zhao Diao Si sat cross-legged, dozing off with fatigue. He woke himself up with a big movement, and looked sleepy. I don't know what he dreamed of in his sleep. The old man sighed softly.

Zhao Siku pulled at the expensive thick velvet mink hat. The old man was not a master and had never practiced martial arts. Naturally, his body was not good at his age. He thought he would die of old age in this life, and closed his eyes with a lot of secrets.

Unexpectedly, at the end of the day, the Beiliang that the young master was loyal to actually rebelled. This news came a little late, but I think if the young master could know this news, he would be very happy!

Zhao Siku thought so in his heart. Old people love to reminisce, and he gradually remembered his origins. He was born in the Luting Zhao family, one of the top ten families in the Spring and Autumn Period. At that time, Zhao Changling, who was the eldest grandson, did not inherit the family business, but instead surrendered to Xu Xiao.

The support of Zhao Changling and the Luting Zhao family was the key to letting Tu Xu Xiao stand out from the large number of generals in Liyang. It is hard to say who lost or gained in this deal, but later the Zhao family suffered a disaster, and Xu Xiao supported Zhao Changling to take revenge.

Unfortunately, before he was about to destroy Xishu with his own hands, Zhao Changling died of illness.

"I have been walking on thin ice all my life, but I didn't expect that I would still have the time to take risks when I am old." Zhao Siku recalled the past, and a complicated smile appeared on his lips. Since he was ordered to enter Tai'an City, he has been waiting for the call of the Xu family. He has been walking on thin ice for twenty years and has been trembling with fear until he is old. Unexpectedly, he suddenly received a contact and sent a message. He habitually stretched out two dry fingers, twisted his eyebrows, glanced at the corner of the carriage, and then drooped his eyelids. In the corner of the carriage sat a middle-aged man who was sleeping peacefully. He had a handsome appearance and a scarlet streak between his eyebrows, as if he had opened another eye in addition to his eyes. Before leaving the capital last night to receive the imperial order from Li Yang, Han Shengxuan invited Zhao Siku to drink and told him what happened today and the secrets that ordinary people could not know in several lifetimes. In addition to the warriors and the three religions, there is also a powerful group of practitioners in the world. There are also predecessors who have ascended to heaven, called Qigong practitioners. Li Yang has hundreds of Fulong Sect Qigong practitioners under his command, who have been collecting heavenly thunder in various places and blessed places to build an unprecedented "thunder pool".

In addition, when the Heavenly Masters of Longhu Mountain think that they have achieved great success in Taoism, they will come to Tai'an City to carve a talisman for a certain object. This talisman writing often takes several months or even half a year, exhausting their energy.

So far, since the founding of Li Yang, there have been eleven generations of eighteen great Heavenly Masters who have drawn talismans and made talismans from generation to generation, just to suppress the "person" in the carriage, "Forget Worry Heavenly Man", Gao Shulu.

The so-called first-grade four realms in the contemporary martial arts world are all derived from the martial arts experience of this "person" four hundred years ago. It was also this person who included the Vajra Realm into the category of masters.

If the first Confucian sage Zhang Fuyao is the founder of Confucianism and Taoism, then Gao Shulu can be called the founder of modern martial arts.

It's just that this patriarch was a bit ruthless. He caused a catastrophe four hundred years ago. He traveled all over the country in the past ten years and killed people when he got angry. The killings filled the rivers and lakes with bloodshed. No one dared to claim to be a master and died at his hands. There are two land swordsmen in China.

Eighty-one real people from all the Taoist sects in the world did not hesitate to join forces to form a demon-suppressing formation, but they were all slaughtered by Gao Shulu on the top of Difei Mountain, leaving behind the sentence "I am a fairy on earth, what kind of demons can I suppress?", Xiaoyuan go.

Gao Shulu calls himself a human immortal, and his realm is indeed like this. He is above the terrestrial immortals and has achieved immortality. Apart from Lu Dongxuan, he is the only one who has achieved immortality in the past 800 years.

However, Lu Dongxuan ascended after his breakthrough, but his ascension did not reach the gate of heaven, but reincarnated in the human world, so he never walked in the human world as a heavenly being.

But Gao Shulu was different. He went on a killing spree in order to break through the land and walk on earth.

Some people say that he was obsessed, and in fact he was indeed obsessed. But unlike the obsession that the world thinks, this Wangyou Tianman became obsessed in order to break through, deliberately taking shortcuts, and finally achieved a breakthrough.

This sounds unbelievable. Although magic is also a kind of spiritual practice, becoming possessed is another concept. At that time, there was a real line between life and death, and one mistake would lead to death.

He is obsessed with things, deviates from the norm, but also finds a new way, but most people cannot play such high-end death-defying methods. Basically, if he goes too far, he will die. It is incredible to think about it, like Gao Shulu, who takes the initiative to commit suicide and finally "forgets his worries" and becomes a heavenly being.
