No matter how resourceful Yang Jian was, Uncle-Master Chijingzi did not inform him in advance. He did not know that a junior brother and three Connate numinous treasures had been abducted by a Daoist priest to the impregnable pass on the other side.
If Chijingzi had given Yang Jian a jade token in advance and asked someone to send a message, things might have changed.
In the tent, Yang Jian sat there with a smile. He was busy consolidating the combat power of his camp and displaying his Eldest Senior Brother's brilliance and warmth.
"Senior Brother, why are you looking for me?"
Jinzha asked with a calm expression. Although he was wearing armor, it could not hide his refined appearance. He was rather respectful to Yang Jian. “
Yang Jian asked, "How are you doing in the army?"
Jinzha smiled and said, "With Senior Brother around, the generals are harmonious and the soldiers are united. It's naturally going well."
"As long as it's going well." Yang Jian nodded in satisfaction. He lowered his head to look at the bamboo slip in front of him. He seemed to be casually talking about family matters, but the words he asked made Jinzha tremble in fear.
"Tu Xing Sun coincidentally met Ji Qianhua after getting drunk that night. Did you do it?"
Jinzha was caught off guard by Yang Jian's sudden question. He wanted to speak, but when the words reached his mouth, he did not know how or what to say. For a moment, he was stunned with his mouth agape.
"Senior Brother, I …"
"Don't worry. If I wanted to pursue the matter, I wouldn't have waited until today to ask you." Yang Jian did not even raise his head. "It's reasonable for you to think of ways to punish Tu Xing Sun because you can't stand it. After all, there was a feud between you and him in the previous battle. But why did you implicate Ji Qianhua? "
Jinzha was silent. He lowered his head and sighed softly. "I was narrow-minded and made such a bad decision … If Senior Brother wants to punish me, I will not dare to complain."
Yang Jian finally looked up at him. Jinzha was shocked because Yang Jian's gaze was filled with coldness, as though he was not a living being standing there.
For someone like Yang Jian, who had a powerful body and unparalleled combat power, he could exert pressure on the universe around him with a single thought.
Simply put, this was momentum.
"What I'm asking is, why did you drag a mortal female general into this? Do you feel any shame?"
Jinzha didn't dare to look at Yang Jian. He lowered his head and muttered, "Yes …"
"But not much, is it?"
Yang Jian chuckled, the aura quietly dissipated, and Jinzha felt relieved.
"Senior Brother, I don't look down on mortals." Jinzha hurriedly said, "We are all humans. Aren't mortals and immortals all living beings of the same root? However, I only wanted to embarrass Tu Xingsun that night. When senior brother appeared, I didn't know and hurried over. "
"Let bygones be bygones." Yang Jian regained his smile and said indifferently, "The higher one's cultivation, the deeper one's Dao nature, the thinner one's temperament will be. Jinzha, your family has four generals, and the Li family will definitely prosper in the future. There are some things that you can understand even without me saying it. If you have to make a choice in the future, think more carefully. If you make a wrong step, no one can save you. "
"Senior Brother, you're right. Jinzha has learned something."
"Go back and lead the army well. Defeat the Shang army this time. In a few days, we will send troops to attack the Shang Nation. The opportunity lies in the hands of people, but don't lose your heart."
"Yes." Jinzha bowed and took two steps back. He turned around and walked out of the tent.
The meaning of Yang Jian's words was probably something only he could understand.
This Eldest Senior Brother really can't be fooled. Jinzha sighed in his heart.
When the wind blew, Jinzha realized that the back of his clothes under his armor was drenched …
He lowered his head and quickly left the place. He did not dare to stay any longer.
Yang Jian actually did not ask him if he had told Uncle-Master Ju Liusun about the secret when Yang Jian brought Tu Xingsun to Chaoge City. He had already given him a way out.
Jinzha understood that Yang Jian should be well aware of this matter …
The Li family's prosperity … choice …
Jinzha was a little confused. He could only remember Yang Jian's words in his heart. He did not know what Yang Jian meant.
After beating Jinzha up, Yang Jian gave a few more orders. Then, he patrolled the military camp and consoled the soldiers before the battle.
At this time, be it in the celestial heavens or the Zhou Nation, Yang Jian was a figure that was highly respected by the soldiers. He killed enemies at the frontlines and charged and broke through enemy lines. Yang Jian had already made a name for himself and gradually gained the title of God of War.
Yang Jian did not care much about these false reputations. After all, a false reputation could not give him many benefits. Sometimes, it would even be a burden.
When talking to Jinzha, Yang Jian mentioned the word "Dao nature". This word had been lingering in Yang Jian's heart, causing him to be in a daze for the next few days.
What was Dao nature?
Yuding had told Yang Jian that when cultivating the Dao, one would comprehend the Dao and be tainted by the Dao.
The Dao nature was fair, and it was the assimilation of the Dao to the cultivator. If a person only had the Dao nature in their Dao heart and no selfish desires, their words and actions would be the original meaning of the Dao.
This was not a beautiful realm. If a cultivator was assimilated by the Dao, it would be considered a form of Qi deviation. In serious cases, it might even be Dao Assimilation.
The original intention of a cultivator to cultivate the Dao was to transcend oneself. If one's body was abandoned and turned into a part of the Dao, how could one cultivate the Dao?
The Primordial Soul Dao focused on cultivating one's character. This' character 'referred to the Dao nature, but it did not refer to the entire Dao nature. To be precise, the Primordial Soul Dao cultivated the primordial spirit and pursued a perfect Dao heart. One's temperament was neither angry nor impatient, neither anxious nor lazy. The Dao nature was part of it, but it was not everything.
However, a cultivator could not be completely devoid of Dao nature. Otherwise, if they could not even comprehend the most basic Dao, how could they cultivate the Dao?
Dao nature …
Among the cultivators he knew, who had the strongest Dao nature?
Apart from the Saints, it should be his master …
The Saints were not completely driven by the Dao nature. On the contrary, they had already jumped out of the sea of Dao laws in this world and stood on the other shore. They had completed their own transcendence. Their words and actions had formed their own Dao connotations. They had already exceeded the scope of the Dao nature.
Of course, the premise was that the six Saints were in the Primordial World and not outside. They had all relied on merit to become Saints. They could jump out of the Dao Sea, but they could not leave the world.
The world was heartless and treated all living things as dogs.
Yang Jian gradually realized that this sentence was not talking about the cruelty of the world, which prevented all living beings from cultivating the Dao. Instead, it was saying that the world did not have any emotions or desires. It was selfless and only had Dao nature. It treated all living beings equally and treated them like dogs. It would not treat anyone differently, nor would it deliberately make things difficult for anyone.
Dao nature, heaven and earth.
Dao techniques, mystic arts.
Essence Soul, physical body.
Those thoughts echoed in Yang Jian's mind. His soul seemed to have left his body and roamed the world, searching for the true meaning of this place.
Unknowingly, Yang Jian stood on a hill not far from the military camp and looked at the Azure Dragon Pass in the distance. His heart was filled with ripples, and his body was surrounded by a mysterious aura.
In the beginning, Yang Jian stood there for half a day and did not alarm anyone.
After a day and night, a strange phenomenon appeared above Yang Jian's head. Sometimes, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. Sometimes, rainbows overlapped, and immortal cranes circled. Nezha and the others realized that something was amiss.
"Senior Brother … has comprehended?"
Nezha asked in a daze. He frowned and felt depressed.
I can't catch up. How can I catch up? In such a noisy army, Senior Brother, who cultivated his body, actually had an epiphany of the Essence Soul Dao …
Nezha shook his head, his face filled with frustration.
Beside him, Li Jing, Huang Feihu, Jinzha, Muzha, Huang Tianhua, and Lei Zhenzi stood in a row neatly at the entrance of the military camp. They did not dare to disturb him.
Li Jing pondered for a while and said, "The Prime Minister should have had an epiphany. Su Hu has led the 600,000 Shang troops to the Azure Dragon Pass today. If he suddenly sends troops to attack, he might destroy the Prime Minister's opportunity this time. "
Huang Feihu nodded, not understanding. He was a mortal general. The only extraordinary thing about him was the old ox at home. He naturally did not know about these things.
Lei Zhenzi said, "Why don't Nezha and I lead a troop to camp five kilometers away and hang up the battle exemption sign? We can stall for as many days as we can. Don't let them disturb Eldest Senior Brother."
"Alright." Li Jing pondered for a while and nodded in agreement.
"I'm not going." Nezha pursed his lips. "I want to cultivate in seclusion. Call me when they really fight." After saying that, he turned around and left dejectedly.
Li Jing was about to shout at Nezha with a stern expression when Huang Feihu smiled and said, "Brother Li, don't be angry. Be careful not to disturb the Prime Minister's cultivation."
Only then did Li Jing suppress his anger. However, he was clearly dissatisfied with Nezha's behavior of treating military orders as child's play.
Muzha said, "I'll go with Lei Zhenzi."
"That's good. Slow down."
Four hours later, the fifty thousand soldiers circled around Yang Jian's location and rushed to a place ten miles away. They set up camp by a river and hung up the "No Battle" sign.
Lei Zhenzi spread his Tempest Wings and stood quietly in the air. He looked at the Azure Dragon Pass. He could react in time if there was any movement.
Everything was for Yang Jian to comprehend the Dao in peace and not miss such an opportunity.
At the Azure Dragon Pass, Su Hu brought a few generals with different faces to the city tower and looked west.
A handsome young man stood beside Su Hu. However, the young man's face was a little gloomy. He frowned and his eyes were filled with hesitation.
Who else could it be but Yin Hong, who had just left the mountain a few days ago?
Beside Yin Hong was a burly general. His face was red, and his mouth was full of fangs. His eyes were like sharp blades that could cut hearts. He was Immortal Ma Yuan of the Skeleton Cave's White Bone Mountain.
On the other side, Shen Gongbao was wearing a Daoist robe. His hands were in his sleeves and he seemed to be smiling at all times.
On Shen Gongbao's left, Zheng Lun was dressed in mighty armor. His eyes were burning with battle intent. On the left, Lu Yue, whom Yang Jian was constantly wary of, was wrapped in a gray robe.
"Your Highness, generals." Su Hu stroked his beard and smiled. "How long will it take for us to flatten Qi Mountain?"
Shen Gongbao smiled and said, "With Your Highness's help, it will be a matter of time. It depends on how long it will take for the army to reach Qi Mountain."
Ma Yuan, who was at the side, held his stomach and laughed. The smell of blood filled the air.
After laughing for a long time, Ma Yuan looked at the so-called Second Highness beside him and blinked. "Isn't it funny?"
Yin Hong squeezed out a smile, and then let out a soft sigh.
Shen Gongbao said, "Your Highness, don't forget the 800 years of foundation …"
"I know. Martial Uncle, you don't have to remind me," Yin Hong said indifferently. Then, he flicked his sleeves and turned to use his escape technique to return to his residence.
Su Hu hurriedly stood up to smooth things over. "Generals, let's rest too. We will need to rely on your power to kill the enemy tomorrow."
"Alright," Shen Gongbao replied with a smile. He cupped his hands at Su Hu and left with Lu Yue.
Ma Yuan snorted. "I will kill as many generals of the Zhou Kingdom as you give me today."
"I dare not forget what General Ma needs. I will send someone to deliver it to your residence later," Su Hu said with a smile. Ma Yuan nodded and disappeared in a flash.
After Ma Yuan left, Su Hu's face became gloomier.
"Marquis, what's wrong?" Zheng Lun asked.
Su Hu quickly returned to his senses and forced a smile at Zheng Lun. "Nothing. I must be a little tired. I will go back to my residence to rest. General Zheng should also recuperate tonight. Don't lose to them tomorrow! "
Zheng Lun immediately nodded with his head held high. His smile was full of confidence.
