Chapter 231: Straight Hook Bait is Salty, Old Girl

In the process, she clearly saw that her destiny was changing in an irreversible way.

Just when Jiu Tian Xuan Nu was about to despair, she suddenly came into contact with a dark-skinned, short girl.

This little girl may seem ordinary, but in the eyes of Lady Jiu Tian, ​​her essence is very high, as if she is a part of the world.

The moment Lady of the West touched her, her entire body was sealed into the body of this little girl.

The moment she was sealed, Lady Jiu Tian Xuan Nu felt an unprecedented sense of restraint.

She found that she no longer had a free body, and could no longer use her powers as freely as before.

She could only silently observe everything in the outside world from within the little girl's body and feel the little girl's joys, sorrows, anger and happiness.

"Sangsang!"

"Here I come, Master!"

Gongsun Ce didn't know at this time that the agent of Heaven in a certain world was about to experience an epic enhancement because of him.

Just after Gongsun Ce finished explaining to Feiyan the relevant information about the state of unity between man and nature, Ying Zheng arrived at the Taiwei Mansion.

In the front hall of the Taiwei Mansion, Gongsun Ce and Ying Zheng sat in the host seat and guest seat respectively. After drinking tea, Ying Zheng explained the purpose of his visit.

"Mr. Gongsun, Fusu is making good progress on his martial arts path."

"So A Zheng also wants to improve his martial arts?"

"Sure enough, I can't hide it from you, sir." Ying Zheng smiled softly, "But, sir, do you have a way for me, who is not good at martial arts, to become a grandmaster?"

"Have."

Gongsun Ce's right hand brushed across the teacup, and then the water in the teacup slowly floated into the air and turned into three words: Left One, Right Two.

"Meaning and legend." Ying Zheng now remembered the manuscript he had glanced at in the Qin State library, "I remember there was a manuscript in the library that had relevant records.

The power of intention is a rising star, and before the power of intention, the power of legend was respected. The ancient gods are suspected to have used the power of legend to forge extraordinary power and step into the realm of unity between heaven and man. "

"It's true." Gongsun Ce nodded. "If you follow the path of intention, A Zheng, you may not be able to forge ahead and reach the realm of Grandmaster, but if you follow the path of legendary power, you may be able to enter the realm of unity between man and nature."

Gongsun Ce was very familiar with his plans, but it gave Ying Zheng a glimmer of hope.

At this time, Gongsun Ce realized that if Ying Zheng was fooled by him into playing with the power of legend, then even without the elixir of life, Ying Zheng might be able to achieve immortality.

"I heard that the state of unity between man and nature can make one immortal and have the ability to move mountains and fill the sea. I wonder if it is true?"

“Indeed.” Gongsun Ce nodded. “It’s just that no one has used the power of legend to prove the state of unity between man and nature for many years. Therefore, even a Grandmaster can have a sudden rise, but to go one step further is…”

Gongsun Ce hadn't finished his words, but Ying Zheng felt that this approach was feasible, so in Ying Zheng's mind, in addition to the Yin-Yang family going out to sea to find the fairy island and Gongsun Ce's potion, Ying Zheng had a backup plan in mind.

"May I ask, sir, how do I use the power of legend?"

"We need to study it a bit." Gongsun Ce raised his hand and pointed in the direction of Korea, "The method of using the power of legend has been lost. The female marquis of Korea once had some methods to use the power of legend.

But with the passing of the Marquise and her son, there is probably no one in the world who knows how to use the power of legend.

Ah Zheng might as well send the Shadow Guards to the Blood Robe Castle to check and see if they can find any relevant inheritance."

"Thank you sir for informing me."

Ying Zheng felt somewhat calm at the moment. Not to mention whether he could find the inheritance, even if he did, it would still take time to decipher it, so he couldn't be impatient.

“At this time, General Wang Ben is about to successfully split the State of Wei in two, and General Meng Wu has already captured 38 cities of the State of Chu from Daqin to Daliang of Wei.

Mr. Gongsun, do you think we can attack Daliang directly now? "

The Wei capital Daliang was very close to the border of Chu, so if Qin wanted to attack Daliang from Chu, it would have to pass through thirty-eight cities.

At this moment, these thirty-eight cities of Chu State are all under the control of Qin State. Once Meng Wu continues to advance, he will most likely be able to reach Daliang directly.

Then the question became whether Wang Ben should continue to implement the plan of dividing Wei into two.

"Wang Ben's plan cannot be stopped. Once Wei is divided into two, General Meng Wu will march towards Wei from Chu. Wei will undoubtedly be attacked from two sides without any help.

Both Yan and Chu will lose contact with Wei. With Qi sitting on the sidelines and watching the fight, it is only a matter of time before Wei is conquered. Moreover, this way of advancing is safer.

In addition, it can also maintain the existence of the supply lines and prevent the Wei State from suddenly attacking the supply lines.

Moreover, it was the same old problem. The beams were as solid as a rock. Ordinary siege ladders could not reach the top of the city walls, and Po Tu San Lang and Po Tu Qi Lang found it difficult to drill through the city walls.

Unless you use the Soldier Demon to break the wall directly, it will be difficult to build the main beam in a short time.

Ah Zheng, the most taboo thing when marching is to be impatient. The same is true for governing a country. If you conquer a land but don’t govern it well, that will leave a source of trouble.”

At this time, Yan's advance was also going smoothly. If Wang Jian was ruthless, it was possible for him to reach Yan's capital Ji directly.

In other words, if the Qin State ignored the difficulties of governance and only considered conquering cities and seizing territories, it could have captured the capitals of Yan and Wei at the same time and captured King Xi of Yan and King Jingmin of Wei.

In this way, the achievement of conquering Yan and Wei at the same time was completed, but this achievement was useless.

The essence of conquering cities and seizing territories is to expand the territory, that is to say, conquering is one thing and governing is another.

Ying Zheng was silent for a moment and decided to proceed as normal according to the old plan.

"I heard that the expedition team has continued to the west and found several countries." Ying Zheng changed the subject abruptly, "I wonder if they have found any new crops?"

“We have found some new spices and fruits, but as for staple foods, we have not found any yet. However, we have already made some progress in harvesting the garlic and grapes we found earlier.

Alfalfa, which is suitable for cultivation as forage, is also being expanded.

However, I have ordered people to take some alfalfa and green grass to feed cattle and sheep respectively in order to test the feeding effect of alfalfa on cattle and sheep.

The results are quite good. The cattle and sheep fed with alfalfa can be marketed faster, are fatter and stronger, and produce more cow and goat milk.”

Ying Zheng's expression didn't change when he heard about garlic and grapes, but when he heard about the effects of alfalfa, he slapped his thigh.

"Pah! Great! It is indeed the high-quality forage grass that Mr. Gongsun mentioned. I wonder if expanding the cultivation of alfalfa can ensure that all the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty have meat to eat?"

"Alfalfa needs to be planted separately, so its yield is bound to be lower than that of ordinary forage grass. However, even so, it can ensure that a certain number of Daqin soldiers can eat meat."

In simple terms, if you want to train soldiers with strong physical fitness, in addition to proper training, you must ensure that the soldiers are well fed.

Salt and meat are indispensable. In this way, soldiers with high height, high agility, strong strength and strong defense can be cultivated.

Fat can effectively relieve impact force and resist sword cuts to a certain extent. Therefore, soldiers with slender bodies are destined to be cannon fodder unless they are born with supernatural powers or are warriors.

The purpose of most people joining the army, in addition to the convenience brought by the military merit system, is more importantly to be able to have enough food and clothing.

In particular, the occasional reward of meat is also one of their hopes.

In this era, soldiers were willing to go to the battlefield if they were well fed. If they could occasionally eat meat, it was enough to keep them fighting.

The Qin State’s military merit system was good, but combined with adequate meat, it was enough to make Qin’s soldiers the most powerful force for a long time.

At this moment, Ying Zheng was really overwhelmed by the good news. He said goodbye in a hurry and on the way back to Xianyang Palace, he had calmed down his excited heart.

The uncertainty of the future can make him excited, but it is not enough for him to show his excitement, so he plans to deal with more government affairs after returning to Zhangtai Palace and calm down.

After Ying Zheng left, Gongsun Ce casually drew a circle, and the Eye of Void appeared in front of him. The next moment, Gongsun Ce put his hand directly into the Eye of Void.

Not long after, Gongsun Ce withdrew his hand with a strange look on his face.

There is nothingness inside the Eye of Void, and the space is almost infinite. Unless the power entering the Eye of Void is stronger than Gongsun Ce's grandmaster intention, it is almost impossible to break free from the shackles of the Eye of Void.

In other words, if suitable materials can be found to solidify the Eye of the Void and withstand the erosion of the power of the void, then this will be a good storage space.

"Interesting." Gongsun Ce murmured in a low voice, "But, can this void power ensure that the entrance remains unchanged?"

Soon Gongsun Ce thought of the heart blood of the Queen Mother of the West. Gongsun Ce took off the golden pendant hanging around his waist. This thing came from the Queen Mother of the West and it was estimated that it carried a lot of her power.

If its relationship with Lady of the Nine Heavens could be erased, then it could be refined into a carrier of the Eye of the Void. Even if it could not be refined into space equipment, it could be used as a prop to release the Eye of the Void.

A hint of excitement flashed in Gongsun Ce's eyes. This thing is really good!

At this moment, Gongsun Ce discovered that the blood from Jiu Tian Xuan Nu's heart seemed to be emitting blood light. It was very faint, but it almost penetrated the seal left on it by Gongsun Ce.

Gongsun Ce frowned, because it didn't seem like this drop of heart blood wanted to break free from his seal spontaneously, it was more like the Queen Mother of the West was asking for help, and was asking for help frantically.

Because this red light does not carry any power, instead it seems to be transmitting information to the outside, and this information is very urgent.

Gongsun Ce felt that the situation of Lady Jiu Tian Xuan Nu was not very good at this time and might be about to die.

However, it was a good thing that the Queen Mother of the West sent it, so Gongsun Ce didn't care too much about it.

In the Ever Night world, a border city of the Tang Kingdom.

The sealed Lady of the Nine Heavens felt Sangsang's every breath and every heartbeat. Her consciousness struggled frantically in the darkness, trying to find a glimmer of hope to escape.

However, no matter how hard she tried, the invisible confinement was like an insurmountable mountain, trapping her tightly.

Just when Lady Jiu Tian was about to give up, she suddenly sensed another powerful force in Sangsang's body.

This power was pure and sacred, completely different from her aura.

The Queen Mother of the West looked carefully and saw a woman in white quietly floating in Sangsang's dantian. She had a face as white as jade and deep eyes, as if they contained endless mysteries.

This is Haotian Tiannv, the agent of heaven. Her existence makes Jiutian Xuannu feel a little uneasy.

Haotian Goddess seemed to have noticed the presence of Jiutian Mysterious Lady. She slowly turned around and looked at Jiutian Mysterious Lady.

There seemed to be thousands of stars twinkling in those deep eyes, which made people fall into them involuntarily.

Haotian Tiannu smiled slightly, as if all the beauty in the world was concentrated in this moment. However, behind this smile, there were endless dangers.

Haotian Goddess stretched out her hands and slowly embraced Jiutian Mysterious Lady.

The Queen Mother of the West wanted to struggle, but found that her body seemed to be bound by an invisible force and she could not move.

She could only watch as Haotian Tiannv began to devour her power.

Haotian Tiannu's devouring speed was extremely fast. Jiutian Xuannu's memories and combat experience were absorbed madly like running water.

Her consciousness began to blur, as if she was about to be assimilated by this endless power.

The Queen Mother of the West was filled with fear and despair, and she didn't want to disappear from this world just like that.

However, no matter how she struggled, she could not stop Haotian Tiannv from swallowing her.

Her strength was gradually weakening and her consciousness was becoming blurred.

She felt as if she was caught in an endless vortex, unable to escape.

Just when Lady Jiu Tian was about to be completely swallowed up, she suddenly felt a powerful force surging from the bottom of her heart.

This is the result of her deepest belief and will.

She didn't want to disappear from this world just like that, as she still had someone she wanted to kill (Gongsun Ce), and she hadn't reached the pinnacle of martial arts yet (above the realm of unity between man and nature)!
Lady Jiu Tian Xuan Nu used up her last bit of strength, condensed her consciousness into a sharp sword, and launched a counterattack against Lady Hao Tian Xuan Nu.

However, Haotian Tiannv seemed to be prepared and easily resolved her attack.

Her swallowing speed became faster and Lady Jiu Tian could no longer resist.

She could only pass on information frantically, she had to lower her head and ask for help, she only hoped that her fellow villagers on the Starry Road could lend her a helping hand.

However, this is Haotian's closed world, and the message for help from Lady Jiu Tian Xuan Nu could hardly be transmitted out of here.

On the starry road, Laozi looked in the direction where the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady disappeared, and a faint message for help from the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady could be heard from there.

But Laozi did not try to rescue her. He could feel that the aura that suppressed the Queen Mother of the West belonged to this world.

I shook my head. This is the price of having an unclear mind. The legendary power of a world is not so easy to obtain.

The straight hook bait is salty!
But I am also a little curious, what is the purpose of one world grabbing everything from Jiu Tian Xuan Nu? Just for Jiu Tian Xuan Nu's combat experience?

At this moment, Haotian Tiannv's sea of ​​consciousness underwent a drastic change. Hatred and unwillingness invaded her sea of ​​consciousness, and her style of doing things changed invisibly.

The teacher who was standing on the back hill of the academy and looking up at the sky withdrew his gaze. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that the world had changed.

The oppression of this sky on him eased, as if this sky was no longer obsessed with devouring the existence above the six realms.

The Master thought for a moment, then he created a clone and tried to leave this world. Just after his clone left the world, he found that the world had returned to its closed state again.

However, the Master had no regrets, as he had his mission to accomplish.

What's more, the power of a clone is not weak, and it should be possible to find strong external assistance. As for whether the other party can be brought here and what the cost of the other party's assistance is, the Master can only take it one step at a time.

At the moment when the Master's clone left the Ever Night world, Laozi manifested a bamboo slip of the Tao Te Ching in his hand and swung it at the back of the Master's head.

"Boom!"

The Master's clone felt a flash of light in front of his eyes and a pain at the back of his head. The next moment, he turned into a meteor and headed towards the Qin world along the road in the starry sky.

Laozi stroked his white beard, blew on the bamboo slips, and said, "Good! Niu'er, let's go!"

At night, Gongsun Ce, who was staring at the starry sky in a daze, suddenly discovered that the Seven Stars of the Azure Dragon were flashing wildly again. With the experience of the last time the Queen Mother of the West returned to the Qin world, Gongsun Ce guessed that it was another fellow villager who had returned.

As the saying goes, when fellow villagers meet, they often shoot each other in the back. He wanted to go and take a look, but he didn't know what little surprises this blind box would reveal.

"Looking eastwards from Jieshi, I can see the vast sea. The water is so calm, and the mountains and islands stand tall. Trees grow in clusters, and the grass is lush. The autumn wind is bleak, and the waves surge. The sun and the moon seem to be coming out of it. The stars seem to be shining from it."

At dusk, outside Sanghai City, the master with a big swelling on the back of his head looked at the rippling waves, his heart trembling.

At this time, Gongsun Ce's voice sounded behind him. It had been four days since the Master came to this world, and he already had a basic understanding of this world.

At this moment, he heard the sound of poetry recitation coming from behind him. With his literary attainments, he could tell that it was a fragment because the emotions were not expressed fully.

"Young man, why don't you continue?"

The Master turned his head and looked at Gongsun Ce. The moment he saw Gongsun Ce, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

It was not because of Gongsun Ce’s appearance, but because he did not feel any special aura from Gongsun Ce, as if Gongsun Ce was just an ordinary person.

First acquaintance, perception, no doubt, profound, knowing fate, no distance, extraordinary, quiet, no rules

Among these nine realms, the first five realms can only be ordinary people, while the last four realms are extraordinary realms. For the Master, this is his path.

The Master's original state is in the realm of no rules, which means ignoring all rules. This is a state comparable to the world itself.

Although the master in front of him was just an incarnation, he possessed the strength of the extraordinary realm. However, he could not see through Gongsun Ce's realm. It can be seen that Gongsun Ce's realm at this time was at least comparable to the extraordinary realm.

Gongsun Ce was very young, and the Master could feel the frighteningly young soul fluctuations of Gongsun Ce, which made him unconsciously think of Ke Haoran.

"That's not necessary." Gongsun Ce shrugged, "Because I just want you to turn your head so I can see who you are. By the way, my name is Gongsun Ce."

"Haha." The Master stroked his white beard, "Interesting young man. Others call me Master. If you don't mind, you can call me that, too."

"Oh? Master?"

At this moment, Xunzi appeared beside the two of them after realizing it belatedly. After he saw the Master's appearance clearly, he was a little surprised.

In his eyes, the Master looked a bit like a combination of Confucius and Laozi. He was nearly two meters tall, with a rough face yet a bit of kindness.

"This is my master, known as Master Xun." Gongsun Ce introduced Xunzi to the master, and then introduced the master to Xunzi, "This is the master, a visitor from outer space."

"I have met the Master."

"I have met Master Xun."

The two of them bowed to each other politely, and then Xunzi invited them to visit Xiaoshengxianzhuang.

"Master, why don't you come to visit my Little Sage Manor?"

The Master was about to agree when he heard Gongsun Ce's words.

"Why not go to an inn? The owner there cooks delicious food."

"Okay! Let's go to an inn."

The master nodded. He liked delicious food, but it was troublesome to cook by himself. Besides, there were no seasonings or good wine here, and he couldn't stand eating only fish sashimi.

Xunzi suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu when he saw the Master, a strong man who was just as talkative as Confucius.

"Boss Ding, serve the dishes. Bring us a portion of all their specialties, and a jar of Yan State liquor."

After Gongsun Ce ordered the dishes, he threw a pearl to Cook Ding. In addition to metal currency, pearls and jade were also used as special currencies in large transactions. In other words, jade was processed into jade beads.

Cook Ding glanced at the pearls and said with some embarrassment: "General Gongsun, this little shop is closed. How about I treat you to a meal?"

"Come on." Gongsun Ce waved his hand. "You are also a small business owner, and now you don't have the support of the Mohist School. Just accept it. This person has to stay at your place for a few days, so this will be counted as his board and lodging expenses."

After saying this, Gongsun Ce pointed at the Master.

Cook Ding nodded and said, "That's fine, but I have quite a few specialties. Wouldn't it be a bit too much to serve them all?"

"Shark fins cooked with bear paws, lamb chops stewed with grouper..."

After ordering about ten dishes, Cook Ding nodded and went down to cook. He could see that the Master was a big eater just like Gongsun Ce.

Soon, the chef started serving the dishes, and the order of serving was also very particular.

The dishes ordered by Gongsun Ce were prepared slowly at first and then quickly. If it were someone else, the shark fin and bear paw would have required slow cooking over low heat for six hours.

However, Pao Ding can use his true Qi to speed up the process. Even so, it still takes one and a half hours, or three hours.

"Hiss!" The Master took a bite of the lamb chop and involuntarily took a breath of cool air, "Fresh but not smelly or fishy, ​​top quality!"

Gongsun Ce also took a bite and found it indeed delicious. The cooking skills of the chef had reached a new level.

Next came the wine. The wine of Yan State was very special. It was obviously grain wine, but it was very strong.

The Master poured a glass of wine, and then Gongsun Ce snapped his fingers, and the wine in the bowl suddenly burst into flames.

"What a drink!"

The Master prefers strong liquor, and his favorite Jiuniang Double-distilled Liquor is a strong liquor.

After a simple meal, Gongsun Ce began to ask the teacher why he came.

"Master, why are you here? And how did you find this place?"

"That's fine."

The Master had some hope in his heart when he saw Gongsun Ce, but when he saw Xunzi, he no longer had this hope in his heart.

The Master saw clearly Xunzi's realm, so he had no confidence in finding external help in this world.

But since Gongsun Ce asked, he didn't mind telling Gongsun Ce certain things.

"I also don't know why I came here."

The Master sighed softly; he too was innocent.
