Ming Dynasty, New Rome, and Infinite Divine Machine

He just went to hammer the hood of the car, and he felt itchy inside. The car was not a person, so he felt less psychological pressure when hammering it.

【There is no way you can continue like this. I was a little scared just now.]

"Master Sa said that I can use sword practice to deal with this problem. But for the specific plan, they seem to be having a meeting with Dao Ancestor. How to practice specifically, the results will be announced after they finish the meeting - but I don't know the specific method yet. Come and do it.”

"Huh?" Wen Yuan, who was standing at the door, noticed something was wrong with Shangluo, "What, do you have a problem?"

"I do have a question - I want to ask you about swordsmanship."

"You ask me what I am good at. Come on, get in the car. If you don't understand anything, just ask me and I will tell you kindly."

"Oh~~ So that's it." In the driver's seat, Wen Yuan turned the steering wheel slowly. He is much more skilled in driving this car than Shangluo, and he must slow down and observe at every intersection. Even if there is no one around and there are no traffic rules at all, he will still put safety first.

Shangluo has always felt that although this guy seems to be blustering, he is actually much calmer than he looks on the outside. Among other friends, Lu Liang looks calm on the outside, but he can't hide his bluster on the inside. Shangluo still remembers how she wanted to compete when he saw her for the first time; as for Han Xingzhi, he looks blustery, It is also whirring on the inside, completely the same on the outside and inside.

"Well" Wen Yuan thought for a while: "This is the first time I have heard of your situation. In this case, I suggest you come to my place first when you are free and let's practice swordplay together. Sazu is very right, Kendo is really helpful in your situation, but to be precise, it’s not kendo.”

"what is that?"

"Let me give you the overall situation, from my perspective. After Xiao Han and I helped you put the Dragon Ball in place, we were floating on the water with your dog. It happened very quickly afterwards. I clearly felt a discrepancy with the time you later gave, and I was immediately ejected. I analyze that when we lost the Dragon Ball, he and I tended to be immersed in Ambrosia, so we didn't feel the passage of time. When we were finally blown out and returned to our original positions, it was when the Heaven and Earth Unity was detonated. From my perspective, you have indeed gained extremely terrifying power, so terrifying that even you are afraid of it?"

"Yeah, yeah." Shangluo nodded, "That's indeed the case."

"You don't need to be afraid at all. I'm 181cm tall, and I might be a little taller in the future - there are many people taller than me in the world, and some are over two meters tall. So here's the question Yes, if you hold a child over 2 meters tall, he will definitely be scared. But have you ever heard of someone who is over meters tall?"

"It's interesting. The answer must be 'impossible'."

"Why? Because fear comes from the unknown. Children have no idea about the height of 2 meters, so if you hold him up to 2 meters, he will be afraid. But if a person is only 2 meters - he There can be no 'unknown' about one's own body perception, so there can be no fear."

He concluded:

"You will be afraid that you will not be able to control your own power, and you will be afraid of being alienated by your own power into something you don't want. This only means one thing: you have not fully mastered this power. In this regard, my suggestion is to practice sword practice . But it is not the practice of kendo with swords, but the 'Shan Dao' of the five arts of Taoism - mountain, medicine, fortune telling, and divination."

"What is that? I remember it was the knowledge of hiding and raising swords?"

"You can use it to hide and raise swords, but its function is far more than just raising swords. The so-called mountain way is just like the benevolence department of the Faculty of Humanity and the mathematics and physics department of the science department. It is the backbone of the entire academic department. The so-called mountain way is learned It’s the Qi training of Qi practitioners. Mountain Tao teaches you how to practice—at this time, you should think about it a little more.”

[Hey, this question also asked me. What is spiritual practice? 】

Shangluo also threw the question back——

"So, what is practice?"

"The so-called practice is essentially the study of 'how to produce qualitative changes through quantitative changes'; the study of 'how ordinary things lead to higher levels through their own changes'. The so-called practice is to use elixirs, knowledge, and mystical scriptures , martial arts, to accumulate quantitative change, and finally understand the process of qualitative change - I personally think that your problem now is that you don't know where the power of "Heavenly Tribulation" comes from. So, come and cultivate your qi, practice your qi, and practice. There are many methods, and entering the Tao with a sword is a very good way.”

"Master Wen!" Shangluo grabbed his arm.

"Hey, hey, what are you doing! I'm driving!"

"Your words woke me up! How about practicing sword practice with me? No, how about teaching me how to practice sword practice? Although we have practiced against each other before, it will definitely feel completely different when we practice again now."

"Hey, you're almost at the golden elixir stage. It's wrong to call me a master when you're in the qi training stage."

"There is a certain order of learning, and there is a specialization in the arts. A teacher does not have to be better than a disciple. Once I learn something from you, I will treat you as my master."

"Why do I feel like Confucius suddenly started to reflect on himself after seeing two children arguing about the sun? Let's argue about the sun. If my little effort can help you, it will be considered a profit."

(Buzz————)

There was a long knock on the chime.

Master Sa Tian sent a message: "Taozu and we have heard it. Very good, very good. You understand it yourself and it is much better than what we teach you. That boy, what is your name?"

"Wen Yuan!" Wen Yuan suddenly sat up straight.

"It's just you. Teaching and learning are mutually beneficial. It will be helpful for both of you to practice against Shangluo. We will continue to have a meeting to study. Before the meeting is over, you two can go and understand it yourself - and what's your name, kid? ?”

"My name is Wen Yuan! My name is Wen Yuan! Can I train him? Can I really train him?"

"Boy, come to the gate of Yuxi Palace. If you want to spar with Shangluo, you have to hold this sword to practice with him. If you have any questions about the sword, just ask about that sword."

He then said to Shangluo: "Shangluo, Dao Lord and we are still discussing which heavenly sword should be given to you for practice. But for practice, just use [this one] for the time being. You go to the emperor to get it, and then confront him Practice. Both are teaching tools, be careful not to break them.”

Chapter 877 Xiamafang

After putting in the coin, he left, and the silver sports car was left on the hitching post at the entrance of Xiamafang.

This car looks very conspicuous, and it is even more conspicuous when it is tied to the door. Many passers-by took a second look.

"Ah-"

Suddenly, the sound of sneezing came, the sound was between the snort of the horse and the gasp of the piston. The sound was low and powerful, making everyone stunned for a moment——

He seemed to notice the glances coming over him. The car lights flashed, but he remained quiet in a very "humane" manner.

"Speaking of which, what kind of devil is in that car? Have you found out?"

When we arrived at the gate of Xiyuan, we still hadn’t left yet. Shangluo wanted to settle the matter before entering.

[I have some clues, but I’m still checking. I didn't have the oracle's phone number, so I asked Victoria to verify it for me - but I guess I couldn't verify anything else and it was reliable. 】

"So, what kind of demon is that? Is it a very powerful demon?"

【Very powerful. He is the devil who hunts horses. Specifically, the demon inside is the six-legged war horse Galani. 】

"Grani? Isn't that Siegfried's mount in "The Nibelungs"? It was originally one of Odin's war horses?"

【Yes. That's the one. Granny was a captured trophy, and he was bound to be in the perpetual motion machine of this car. 】

"You want to restrain such a powerful demon into a car like this?"

[It’s because of his high profile that I had to be restrained in the car. The trophies obtained from the Hero's Pilgrimage have no form and require the use of magical powers to attach them to the items. As a war horse, only vehicles of similar nature can be used to restrain it - I didn't know that they actually used my car as a container. After putting it in, they found that Grani could not be tamed at all, and they were still too inferior. 】

"So they just gave the car away?"

[It said that they have already explained it to Master Satian. Maybe Master Satian doesn’t care about what’s inside at all - maybe it’s precisely because Master Satian’s strength can completely suppress Galani, so he doesn’t care. It doesn't matter. Although Grani has the personality of a demon god, like all demon gods, he cannot transcend his prototype. After all, Granny is still a horse. It meets all the characteristics of a horse, including recognizing the road and its owner. 】

"Ah!" Shangluo clapped his hands suddenly, "So I can safely let it drive automatically?"

[Don’t you know how to do magic? Very convenient from the subway. 】

"It's not as comfortable as riding in a car to run on your own. Gods also have to have mounts, right? Ah, I won't run after that. You let him know the way and let him take me there. I will lie comfortably in the car. That's right!" Shangluo suddenly thought:

"Speaking of the mount - where is Longlong? I still want to demote him. Do you still want the main beast level and the deputy beast level? If you dare to trick me, just demote him to the mount level."

He asked Wen Yuan.

"He's back already," Wen Yuan replied, "He should be going home now. His family lives in Yuyuan. Although he went on a business trip to New Antioch, his family is still there."

"his home?"

"There is a special room for him in the panda house in the Royal Garden. Longlong was born there."

"He dares to go back to the house and hide, right? I'll clean it up when I'm done."

To put it bluntly, the whole thing happened because Lenglong ran away. Although it was a good thing in terms of the final result, it caused Shangluo a lot of trouble. Only Longlong himself was eating and drinking from beginning to end. In the end, he had a big meal on the submarine and waited for the whole thing to end in the safest place.

Not that there's anything really wrong with it. But Shangluo just didn't like him. It's so annoying that he's the only one sitting there enjoying his life when everyone is out working.

"Do you want me to notify them?" Wen Yuan asked.

"No. I want to surprise him. If he reflects on his mistakes in the room, that's fine. But if he just lies there eating and drinking, I will..."

"Um, what are you going to do?"

"I happen to be short of a mount. I also want him to stretch his muscles so that he doesn't get fat just sitting there eating."

"It's okay, that kid should be dealt with." Wen Yuan was still worried about his "way" to enter the mission.

While talking, the car arrived at the gate of Xiyuan.

"Then you stay here. I still have to go to Yuxi Palace to get the sword - hell, I have stood guard at Yuxi Palace dozens of times, and this is the first time I have to hold something. But most of the time it's not It’s just given to me to use.”

The two said a brief goodbye at the door, and Shangluo entered Xiyuan and walked towards Changchun Palace.

"Shang Tianjun, good evening!"

The Jin Yiwei at the door saluted him - although outsiders still don't know who triggered the previous explosion. But Jin Yiwei all knew that the explosion was caused by Shangluo standing at the center of the explosion. He survived the explosion that shook the earth's ecology without losing a single hair on his body. Moreover, he seems to have become more diligent in his cultivation.

Although he couldn't tell, he still hurriedly gave Shangluo directions:

"Please wait for a few minutes. The emperor is explaining things to the elders, because I thought it would take a while before you come from Yuxi Palace. Let's go to the antechamber first and sit down for a while. Have tea or cocoa?"

"Coco, thank you."

He ordered a cup of hot cocoa. He was not an outsider anyway, so he drank with peace of mind.

Entering the waiting room, there were already people sitting inside: Han Xingzhi, who was ashen-faced, was sitting there. He put his arms on the armrests of the sofa and looked up at the sky with dull eyes.

Hearing the sound on the other side of the door, Han Xingzhi looked over - his whole body came alive in an instant.

"Brother! You're finally here! I'm starving to death! They don't give me food! They only give me water. My parents are on a business trip, and my uncle asked me to wait here for him to go home together. But he is in Yuxi Palace I don’t know when I’m going to see the door down there! I’m going to starve to death.”

"I told you that you need to nourish your Qi now, and you can't just eat anything. As for Wugen Water, there should be some here. After all, the emperor wants to make elixirs. As for food, there should be nothing here."

Shangluo replied as he walked in. He easily hung his coat on the coat rack.

"Ah, I'm so hungry. If I keep doing this, I will become an immortal immediately. Brother, do you have anything to eat?"

"You want something to eat? Don't tell me, I really have it."

He dug inside his coat and took out a small oil paper bag - this was the steamed bun he had brought from Longlong's campus in New Antioch. He hasn't had time to eat yet.

"Here you go, eat."

"Brother! You are simply my savior!"

Although the steamed buns haven't been eaten yet, seeing the food still made him feel at ease.

Chapter 878 Heavenly Sword

Just as he was about to speak, the guard outside opened the door:

"Shang Tianjun, the emperor is ready."

It said it would take a few minutes, but in fact it was just over a minute.

He turned back and ordered to Han Xingzhi: "Then you eat slowly by yourself. I'll find you when you get down later. If your uncle doesn't take you away, we'll go have something to eat."

"Yeah, yeah." His mouth was full of stuffed buns and he couldn't speak, so he could only nod.

When Shangluo closed the door, he had almost finished eating the steamed bun in his mouth.

It's just a steamed bun. The half-grown man will eat me to death. Although he is very thin, he still has a big appetite for his age.

"I wonder if there are any more." He looked at the door and planned to ask Shangluo, but Shangluo was already upstairs.

"Ah, have something to eat. Brother probably won't mind."

He walked to Shangluo's coat and put his hand into the pocket where Shangluo took out the steamed bun——

"Hey, there are cursed dates. That's great. Oh, the luster of the cursed dates looks so spicy."

Upstairs, Shangluo greeted the elders at the lower level while going upstairs, and then entered Zhu Xianfen's office.

"Pa~" As soon as he entered the door, a ribbon salute floated out from the side.

"Haha! We're done this time!" Zhu Xianfen was overjoyed. It's over and it's time to celebrate.

"But the celebration banquet is not ready yet, let's wait for two days." He stretched out his hand to lift Shangluo's hair off his head, and then handed him a red bottle of spiritual liquid: "Come on, let's open a bottle to celebrate first. Cheers! "

"cheers!"

The two of them clinked glasses with the spiritual liquid in the jar. Zhu Xianxian took a sip first: "Oh, by the way, let's talk while drinking. I also ordered takeout."

"Didn't you say you won't celebrate until a few days later?"

"Hey, what's a celebration like ordering takeout - let me tell you. With this explosion, the foundation of heaven has been set for eternity, and the research that your sister-in-law and I have done over the years has finally been in vain. The celebration banquet is here No amount is too big.”

He took another sip: "Oh, by the way, the takeout will have to wait a while. Because I calculated the time and planned to wait for you to come back from Yuxi Palace to eat, so I ordered a late night snack. I guess, they and It shouldn’t take long for you to talk. But if you are not there and only the old men are in the meeting, then their meeting will be slow, and it may take several days or more than ten days.”

He also waved his hand: "So don't be anxious. Things on our side should be done step by step - Master Sa Tian asked you to get the sword from me. It should be the one he mentioned. I have prepared it for you. You Go and see for yourself.”

He pointed to a sword wrapped in white cloth in a cabinet by the wall.

The sword seemed to have been there all along, and Shangluo never noticed it.

"That is?"

"Gan Jiang and Mo Ye," Zhu Xianxi replied. "That's the sword I usually practice with. But I haven't practiced with it in a long time. After all, I'm an alchemy practitioner, not a sword practitioner. When I've mastered swordsmanship, I get too lazy to practice further. It would be a waste to keep it with me, so it's perfect for you."
