Chapter 260: Rebellion against Tianyuan, time is unpredictable

"You are the first person who is younger than me and can beat me." Nüba's tone was full of curiosity, "I can feel that you are not relying on the power of legend to practice.

How did you achieve this state? Can you tell me?"

"The power of intention." Gongsun Ce raised his hand and condensed the intention representing Confucianism in his palm.

"It's somewhat similar to the power of legend, but also different." Nüba curiously touched Gongsun Ce's palm, "That's great, you don't have to be bound by the power of legend. No, how long have I been sealed?"

Nüba can confirm that when she was sealed, there was absolutely no such power as "intention" in the world. In other words, she seemed to have been sealed for a long time, so long that this world may have become somewhat unfamiliar to her.

"Thousands of years." Gongsun Ce shrugged, "You are right, the Queen Mother of the Nine Heavens was so cowardly, if thousands of years had not passed, her backup plan would have been eliminated by me.

She probably has another chance to start over. But now, she is really dead. And the people you know are also dead or missing."

Nüba suddenly felt a little lonely. After breaking free from the seal, the thing she wanted to do most was to kill the Queen Mother of the West, but the Queen Mother of the West was already dead.

Secondly, she wanted to question Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi why he exiled her.

But Gongsun Ce did not know whether Emperor Xuanyuan was dead, nor did Qin Shi Tiandao. All they could say was that they should treat him as dead.

"I have kept my promise and released you. Try your best to learn to restrain your fiery breath. You will return to the human world one day." Gongsun Ce said goodbye to Nüba.

"How can I find you?" When Nüba saw Gongsun Ce's self-proclaimed identity become "I" unconsciously, she seemed unaware.

"Take it and follow my breath." Gongsun Ce controlled a dragon scale to appear on his arm, then he pulled out the dragon scale and threw it to Nuba.

"Okay." Nüba took the dragon scale and placed it close to her body. "When I can control the fiery aura in my body, I will definitely go to the human world to fight you again. Don't let me down."

“Of course.” Gongsun Ce’s mouth curled up, and then he took a step forward, pursuing the gap in the elemental energy of heaven and earth and returning to Blue Star.

After Gongsun Ce returned to the Taiwei Mansion, he realized that five days had passed.

Melting the black ice coffin is a big project and will take a long time.

Since Gongsun Ce was still holding the ball of cold air in his left hand, he just sent a message to Feiyan and the others to let them know that he was safe.

Afterwards, Gongsun Ce went to the secret room where he had been in seclusion before and began to think about the use of the ball of cold air.

In addition, it is time to use the butcher's knife to try to refine space equipment.

The secret room was filled with all kinds of metals including gold, silver, copper and iron. In addition, in order to determine whether the space equipment could accommodate food and living things, Gongsun Ce prepared some food, plants and birds.

Gongsun Ce took out the butcher's knife. Even though the knife was not in the butcher's hand, the blade still emitted a cold light.

Gongsun Ce stretched out his slender fingers and gently stroked the blade, feeling a slight chill at his fingertips. He narrowed his eyes slightly, as if thinking about something.

Afterwards, Gongsun Ce drew out the Sun-Breaking Sword from his waist. The "Li" symbol on the Sun-Breaking Sword lit up, and a white light appeared on the blade of the Sun-Breaking Sword.

Gongsun Ce swung his sword slowly towards the butcher knife, and as he slowly sharpened the sword, a piece of debris on the blade was slowly ground off.

Then Gongsun Ce used the Sun-Covering Sword to grind the fragments, and the shapes of the fragments gradually became regular and the size was like a fingernail.

Gongsun Ce looked at the fragment carefully and found that its edges were rounded and not sharp.

Gongsun Ce drew a circle in the air with his right hand, and an invisible force began to gather in his hand, which gradually formed a dark hole.

This is the Eye of Void summoned by Gongsun Ce with the Reverse Tianyuan, which can use a certain amount of spatial power.

Gongsun Ce smashed the Eye of Void into the fragments of the butcher knife, and the fragments instantly emitted a dazzling light.

He waited quietly, feeling the miraculous connection between the fragment and the Eye of the Void.

After a moment, Gongsun Ce opened his eyes, with a gleam of understanding in them.

He discovered that the fragments of the butcher knife could indeed carry the power of space, which meant that he had taken the first step towards manufacturing space equipment.

Next, Gongsun Ce began to carve the divine symbol of "empty" on the fragments of the butcher knife.

The pen in his hand danced like a dragon, and every magical symbol contained profound magical power.

As ninety-nine and eighty-one "empty" talismans were struck into the fragments of the butcher knife, the fragments began to emit a more dazzling light, as if a miniature space was being bred within them.

Gongsun Ce blew lightly, pushing the power of the talisman to its extreme.

At this point, the fragment is no longer a simple piece of metal, but a special device that can carry the force of space.

In order to verify the effectiveness of this device, Gongsun Ce picked up a bronze block at hand and placed it near the butcher knife fragments.

The bronze block disappeared into the air in an instant, as if swallowed by an invisible force.

Gongsun Ce smiled slightly and activated the space device again. The bronze block reappeared in his hand, intact.

Gongsun Ce was overjoyed, he knew that the space equipment was basically completed.

He began to try to put more objects in it. No matter whether it was metals such as silver, red gold or meteoric iron, they could all be easily collected into the fragments.

What’s even more amazing is that even if you put food like roast chicken, roast duck, or roast lamb leg in it, it will still retain its original freshness and temperature when you take it out.

However, when Gongsun Ce opened the cage, caught a flying bird and put it into the ring, the situation changed.

When he took out the bird again, it had become stiff and cold, and was obviously dead. Gongsun Ce frowned and began to think about the reason.

Gongsun Ce picked up another lotus and put it into the space device.

When Gongsun Ce took out the lotus again, it was already a little wilted.

After repeated experiments and observations, Gongsun Ce finally discovered the key to the problem.

It turns out that although this space device can store dead objects, it cannot provide the air and nutrients needed for survival for the creatures in it.

Therefore, in this scenario where there is no air, living things cannot survive.

Although Gongsun Ce felt a little regretful, he also understood that this was unavoidable.

After all, this space device is not designed to accommodate living things.

Moreover, the power of space alone cannot guarantee that living things can remain intact.

The power of time is also needed to fix the time for objects to enter the space device, so as to ensure that the objects are no different from before entering the space device.

Gongsun Ce put a pile of items into the space device and let them sit for observation.

Then Gongsun Ce carefully ground off some fragments from the butcher knife for later use.

Half a day later, Gongsun Ce took out everything from the space device and found no problems.

Gongsun Ce nodded, then took out a small piece of silver. A flame burned on his hand, and the silver melted in the flame and was then shaped by Gongsun Ce.

Soon, the ring suitable for Feiyan's left ring finger was formed.

The first space ring was naturally given to Feiyan, followed by the others.

Gongsun Ce integrated the space device into the ring, and a space ring was officially completed.

Gongsun Ce's spiritual power entered the space ring, and he found that the space in the space ring was quite considerable, almost the size of a three-story building.

It is 10 meters long, 10 meters wide and 10 meters high. It is very even, just a cube. The only advantage is that there is no common area.

Gongsun Ce then continued to refine space rings, refining thirty in a row, and the butcher's knife only lost the blade.

However, this has reached its limit, because the blade of the butcher knife is relatively thin. With the blessing of the "Li" talisman, the Sun-Slaying Sword can remove some fragments from the blade of the butcher knife by sharpening and sawing.

However, the blade is relatively thick and the Sun-Burning Sword cannot be sharpened because it is too thick.

Therefore, Gongsun Ce could only temporarily use the butcher knife to create a space ring.

His gaze gradually turned to the ball of cold air. This thing was pure condensation of cold air and had no other properties except coldness.

Gongsun Ce scratched his head. Apart from using this thing as a refrigerator, he had no other ideas for the time being. There will always be a way out when you reach the mountain. Just think about it slowly.

Gongsun Ce thought about it, walked out of the secret room and came to the warehouse.

There are quite a few rooms in the Taiwei Mansion, about thirty-two in the front yard and sixty-four in the back yard.

This does not include the three warehouses, the secret room where Gongsun Ce practiced, the pharmacy for refining medicine, the study, the servants' rooms, etc.

A martial arts arena was expanded outward in the backyard. It can be said that the scale of the Taiwei Mansion is indeed not small, but it is far smaller than the Xianyang Palace.

Together with the martial arts arena, it is more than enough to rival the mansion that Lu Buwei once owned.

Among the three warehouses, one is a metal warehouse where the Pixiu once stayed, the second is a living room brought back by the Western Region caravan, and the last one is a storage room.

There are several ice jars, which are early refrigerators, in the utility room.

The design of the ice jar is a hollow nested structure in the middle, with ice cubes placed in the bottom plate and a metal round basin placed on top of the ice cubes.

Place fruits and drinks in a round metal bowl to keep them chilled.

Ice can only be chiseled out in the winter and stored in cellars.

Gongsun Ce looked at the ice mirror in his hand and shook his head. It was of no reference value at all.

Gongsun Ce remembered that when he was working, there was an old-fashioned refrigerator in the company.

One day, a master craftsman came to repair the refrigerator, and Gongsun Ce asked about the refrigeration principle of the refrigerator.

Simply put, cold air is cooled by convection and then stored.

In other words, in a closed space, just let the cold air circulate.

Gongsun Ce took a look at the ball of cold air that was still being lifted, and thought about the feasibility of using it to make a refrigerator.

Gongsun Ce slapped his head and thought he was thinking too much. He decided to make a metal box, separate the ball of cold air into the cold air beads and place them at the bottom of the rock box.

In other words, just simply enlarge the ice jar. Don't think too much.

Gongsun Ce returned to the secret room and simply rubbed a metal box with his bare hands. Then he cut the ball of cold air into several cold air beads and spread them all over the bottom of the metal box.

Put a metal shelf on the surface of the cold bead, and a simple refrigerator is ready. And according to Gongsun Ce's speculation, this refrigerator can be used for hundreds of years.

It does not melt when exposed to fire and does not melt when exposed to light. It is a rare ice.

However, Gongsun Ce felt somewhat regretful. Such a precious thing could only be used as a refrigerator, which was indeed a waste of resources.

"Girls, look at something new." Gongsun Ce lifted the refrigerator with one hand and slowly walked towards the backyard.

"What is this?" Yan Lingji was very supportive.

“A large ice jar that doesn’t require ice can be used to store grain, vegetables, etc.” Gongsun Ce shrugged.

The Moon Goddess said in a somewhat sabotaging tone, "Brother-in-law, Bai Lu Qi Shuang from the Water Department can also create ice out of thin air."

"Emm." Gongsun Ce was silent for a moment, then opened his palm and distributed several space rings to the women. "This thing is a space device that can be used for storage. It can store everything except living things."

"Ah, you are so awesome." After taking the space ring, Haotian Tiannv clapped with a fake smile.

"It will be even better in the evening." Gongsun Ce pinched the side of Haotian Tiannu's face, "Then you and I will applaud as much as we can."

After Gongsun Ce distributed the space rings, he realized that Xiao Meng and Mi Lian had been in the care of Nian Duan for quite some time.

Gongsun Ce looked up into the sky, and through the clear sky he saw the changes in the stars.

Although Nüba did not return to the human world, in a sense, the source of drought that had been missing for a long time in the Qin world returned.

There is a high probability that it will not snow during the Chinese New Year this year, and signs of drought will appear in the spring.

Gongsun Ce felt that taking over Yan and Wei in advance was indeed the right choice.

I am afraid that this drought will not only affect the Central Plains, but even Qi and Chu will be affected to a certain extent.

In winter, there is no snow, so it is difficult for locust eggs to freeze to death. In summer, the temperature is high and there is no rain, so locusts will inevitably be born very quickly.

The Queen Mother of the West has committed a great sin!
Gongsun Ce naturally needed to make some preparations in advance. Ever since Gongsun Ce transformed into the Azure Dragon, the connection between the Seven Stars of the Azure Dragon and Gongsun Ce became closer and closer.

Jiao, Kang, Di, Fang, Xin, Wei, Ji.

Wood, metal, earth, sun, moon, fire, water.

Gongsun Ce felt that he might need to rely on the power of the Blue Dragon and the Seven Stars to bring about a rainfall and smooth out the negative impact that Nüba had on the world.

Drought is a disaster for humans, but it is a normal phenomenon for nature.

When there is good weather and peace in the country, there will be disasters and people will suffer.

Gongsun Ce shook his head and continued to deepen his connection with the Seven Stars of the Blue Dragon.

Logically speaking, he is the agent of Heaven, but this identity means that he looks at things from the perspective of Heaven.

Therefore, if Gongsun Ce wants to quell the disaster, he can only rely on his own strength and cannot rely on the power of heaven.

Gongsun Ce took a step forward and walked to Tongming Academy. At this moment, Gongsun Ce's thoughts were a little confused.

He thought of Qishan, whom he had never met in the Ever Night world. Qishan was the illegitimate son of the previous generation's chief lecturer at the Hanging Temple.

However, he was compassionate and did not want to be associated with the monks of the Hanging Temple, so he left the Temple.

He then began to travel as an ascetic monk until one year he came to Southern Jin.

When he saw the flood that broke through the dam rushing towards the victims of Southern Jin, even though he was seriously ill, he chose to transform himself into a giant Buddha and jump into the flood for a day and a night. He did not leave until his cultivation was completely destroyed and the victims of Southern Jin were safe.

At that time, he was hailed as the great person who had the greatest potential to break through to the sixth realm.

His behavior can indeed be described as great virtue, and that is why the Master is willing to be his friend.

What Gongsun Ce wanted to do was somewhat similar to what Qishan wanted to do, both of which were to use human power to fight against the power of nature.

However, Gongsun Ce does have this ability, but Qishan does not.

"Hello, I am Qishan, and I am honored to be here." Just as Gongsun Ce was about to step into Tongming Academy, an illusory figure appeared in front of Gongsun Ce.

Gongsun Ce looked at the phantom in front of him and knew that this was one of the strange phenomena caused by the overlap of two worlds.

However, at this time, no one except the Master could come, so there was only an illusion in front of Gongsun Ce.

"I've heard the Master talk about you, a great person who truly adheres to the teachings of Buddhism." Gongsun Ce had some favorable impression of Qishan.

Gongsun Ce didn't want to be a person like Qishan, who was too selfless.

However, it must be said that when a person is suffering, he actually prefers to see Qishan rather than Gongsun Ce.

Gongsun Ce thought that it would be better if there were more people like this in Qishan.

"Thank you for your compliment. Actually, I was also hesitant at that time." Qishan's face became a little more unnatural. "I was thinking at that time that if I wanted to free those slaves, I must have more power than the Buddha.

Although I am not talented, I think I have the qualifications to break through to the state of Nirvana. What I want is for more people to be free and for more people to stop suffering.

However, the moment the old monk saw the disaster victims of Southern Jin in the water, the moment the old monk saw the disaster victims frantically trying to escape the flood, the old monk realized.

Millions of slaves are human beings, and the refugees from Southern Jin are also human beings. Since they are all human beings, their importance cannot be measured by quantity.

A million copies are priceless, and tens of thousands of copies are equally priceless. So at that moment the old monk decided to jump into the flood to fight for their chance of survival. "

"Do you regret it?" Gongsun Ce was silent for a moment and asked Qishan.

At this moment Gongsun Ce suddenly realized that his Confucianism was lacking something, limited compassion.

But even if I have mercy, it is for the people under my command. They are not my people, so why should I care about them?

This is limited mercy. In essence, it is a sage inside and a king outside, but Gongsun Ce lacks some cognition.

"This old monk has no regrets. My cultivation is not as good as the suffering of all living beings. Cough cough cough..." Qishan said in a firm tone, but accidentally triggered his old illness and started coughing madly.

"I look forward to the day when you and I will meet in person, Qishan." Gongsun Ce bowed slightly to Qishan as a return gesture.

"The old monk is also looking forward to it. There are eight sufferings in life: birth, aging, sickness, death, separation from loved ones, wishing for a long time, not getting what you want, and not being able to let go.

However, the only real suffering is not being able to survive. I hope you can make sure that the world no longer suffers from starvation.”

“Of course.” Gongsun Ce nodded, then crossed Mount Qishan and entered Tongming Academy.

"Buddha, you are wrong! You are wrong! Cough cough cough..." Qishan was still coughing, but his eyes were surprisingly bright, "Only when you are well fed and clothed can you escape from the sea of ​​suffering."

"What a wake-up call!" Gongsun Ce's emotions were somewhat complicated. "The gods and men have a bond, and they are honored in the court. If they trust me, I will also return the favor.

The gods and men are in agreement, remembering the noon. Their songs are heavy, and they also return to the deep.

The gods and men have a pact, offering incense and rituals at dusk. Their dances are exaggerated, but they also return to relaxation.

Gongsun Ce continued to move forward. This piece of whining was simply referring to the relationship between God and man.

He is a god, a dragon, a man, and an agent of heaven.

The identity is complicated, but he can strike a balance between them.

"Bullshit, you are still a Confucian Confucian, a great Confucian Confucian, a pope Confucian Confucian." Xiao Meng sat on the eaves not far away, her feet swaying, her eyes full of dissatisfaction with Gongsun Ce, "Why are you here now?"

"It's easy." Gongsun Ce smiled and caught Xiao Meng who jumped down from the eaves. "Have you not eaten well recently?"

Xiao Meng said angrily: "If it doesn't taste good, I don't want to eat it."

"Don't say that. Cooks are all hired with high salaries." Gongsun Ce took out a lotus leaf bag from his arms and handed it to Xiao Meng. "The chicken leg is marinated with a lot of spices. It was originally for Rong'er to satisfy her craving. You can have a bite first."

"It's delicious." Xiao Meng's eyebrows curved, and she seemed very satisfied with the chicken leg. "The dishes made by those chefs are terrible."

"Do some good deeds." Gongsun Ce rubbed Xiao Meng's head, "What have you learned recently?"

"My Taoist Tianzong swordsmanship." Xiao Meng used a clean chicken leg bone to demonstrate in the air, "Brother Chisongzi taught me a few more moves before returning to Tianzong. I have learned them."

"By the way, I seem to have heard that you defeated the six elders of your Tian Sect."

"That's right!" Xiao Meng straightened her back proudly, "None of those six white-bearded old men is my opponent, their swordsmanship is too poor!"

“All the moves and mental methods of the various schools of thought are for only one thing, and that is the existence of matching intention.” Gongsun Ce shook his finger, indicating that Xiao Meng was still too young.

“The Hundred-Step Flying Sword of the Zongheng family is actually just to throw the sword out, and then use the true energy and intention to strengthen the sword tip, chasing the stars and the moon.

"Xiao Meng, why do you think this is the case? Why is it that the sword-flying technique is to throw the sword instead of holding it in the hand?"

"I don't know." Xiao Meng shook her head. "What's the point of this thing?"

"Did you read the Taoist Tianzong's classics in vain? The vertical sword represents the situation of alliance formed by the war between Qin and the six countries. Qin can only keep a glimmer of hope if it goes all out.

The strategy of "lianheng" means making friends with the other six countries. The strategy needs to change constantly, so the horizontal sword is changeable and the initiative is in the hands.

Think about what is the meaning, what are the theories of various schools of thought, think carefully, and you will be able to get the answer. "

Xiao Meng shook her head as if she understood something, but she did not forget to eat the rest of the chicken legs.

When Gongsun Ce came to Nian Duan's classroom, Nian Duan and Duanmurong were processing medicinal materials, and Mi Lian was holding Mi Xin and staring at the two of them, as if she was very interested in medicine.

"Want to learn?" Gongsun Ce patted Mi Lian's head, "Then learn."

Mi Lian shook her head and said, "I don't want to study medicine, I want to learn martial arts. Uncle Gongsun, can you teach me martial arts?"

Facing Mi Lian's gaze, Gongsun Ce gave an ambiguous answer: "I'll try my best."

"Master Nian Duan, please try the Tongtian Pill that I recently made." Gongsun Ce placed a Tongtian Pill in Nian Duan's palm.

"So, you left a little girl here with me for such a long time just for this?" Nian Duan glanced at Gongsun Ce unhappily, and then began to observe the Tongtian Pill. "Is this the pill made according to the previous prescription?

Tongtian Pills? What a good name! But the efficacy remains to be discussed. How many pills were made in total?"

"I still have eight in my hand. Master Nian Duan, you can taste them."
