Starting from Comprehensive Martial Arts: Bu Dao Lu

Chapter 43

The crown prince Zhu Biao sighed and said, "Father, you have practiced in closed doors for the past two years. Although your cultivation base has improved by leaps and bounds, the "Huangji Shocking World Record" is extremely domineering, and you will leave hidden wounds if you don't pay attention. It has become more and more difficult for me to practice in the past few years. But understand the risks."

"The realm of land immortals is not that simple. It took Zhang Sanfeng, a genius of heaven, decades to break through the realm of land immortals from the great master. Although the father is unparalleled in aptitude, it may not be a day's work to break through the land immortals .”

"Boy, it's not to stop my father from practicing in seclusion, but that the "Huangji Shocking World Record" needs to accumulate a huge foundation to make a breakthrough. How can father accumulate enough foundation in just a few years? If I force myself to practice in seclusion, I'm afraid the loss outweighs the gain. .”

Seeing Emperor Hongwu's solemn expression, Zhu Biao continued: "Father suppressed the Ming Empire alone. Although the child has some means, it is far behind the father. If the father forcibly retreats, then my Daming will A good situation is about to be ruined.”

After hearing this, Emperor Hongwu sighed for a long time and said, "It doesn't matter how reasonable the prince is! We are impatient."

Zhu Biao hurriedly asked: "Father, why are you in such a hurry to retreat!"

Emperor Hongwu said in a leisurely tone: "When the Ming Empire was founded, the Five Kingdoms of the Grassland sent experts to attack. Although we used Jizhen to kill a land fairy in the Yuan Empire and scared away the masters of the grassland, the Ming Empire has no land after all. Immortals are in charge, once the Five Kingdoms of the Grassland find out the reality of the Great Ming Empire, the Great Ming Empire will be in danger!"

Only then did Zhu Biao look at Emperor Hongwu in a daze.

Emperor Hongwu went on to say: "The land immortal of the Western Xia Empire is about to end his lifespan, and he will never try to test the Ming Empire. The Khitan Empire and the Great Jin Empire only have one land immortal in the country, and they dare not act rashly. With the presence of land gods from the Great Song Empire, they can contain these two countries."

"The only things to worry about are the Qing Empire and the Great Yuan Empire. There were two land gods in the Qing Empire, and there were three land gods in the Dayuan Empire. We killed one of them, and there are two remaining. These In [-], we let Xu Da and Chang Yuchun conquer the two countries in the north to confuse them, so that they can't figure out our reality."

Emperor Wu of Han smiled and said: "A few years ago, Zhang Sanfeng came to Beijing to discuss martial arts with us, so we let Zhang Sanfeng go to the grassland for a walk. Only then did the Qing Empire and the Great Yuan Empire calm down. Much less."

Zhu Biao asked with some puzzlement: "Father, isn't it that I, Daming, have been actively attacking in the west?"

Emperor Hongwu shook his head and said: "It seems that our Ming Empire is attacking the western battlefield, but it was provoked by the Qing Empire and the Great Yuan Empire. Can you see how much advantage our Ming Empire has taken in the west?"

Zhu Biao thought about it carefully. Although the western battlefield continued to report successes, the Ming Empire did not take much advantage.

Emperor Hongwu said in a leisurely tone: "To the west, that's where our Ming Empire has to fight."

"If we break through the Land of Gods and Immortals, with the combat power of "The Shocking World of the Emperor", how can the prairie barbarians be our opponents?"

Zhu Biao said: "Father, since the situation is a little more stable, why are you in a hurry to retreat?"

Emperor Hong Wu shook his head and said: "The land god of the Western Xia Empire won't last long. The land god is very likely to die within 20 years. Even if there is a life-saving medicine, the old guy can't last for 30 years. Once the Xixia Empire is gone With the protection of the gods on land, the grasslands will definitely be in chaos. One hair will affect the whole body! Once the Xixia Kingdom is destroyed, the other four countries with greatly increased strength will inevitably set off a war, and our Ming Empire will definitely bear the brunt of it."

"Also, we can't confirm when the prairie barbarians will start a war!"

At this time, the father and son tacitly did not mention Zhang Sanfeng.

Emperor Hongwu asked Zhang Sanfeng to intimidate the grassland, Zhang Sanfeng naturally agreed.Because, even if Zhang Sanfeng went to the grassland, the Qing Empire and the Yuan Empire would not treat Zhang Sanfeng badly, but would treat him with courtesy.

However, if Zhang Sanfeng wanted to act for the Ming Empire in the Great War of Nations, it would be very difficult, even impossible.

Zhu Biao asked: "Father wants to break through the realm of land gods within 30 years."

Emperor Hongwu nodded and said: "Although we have made some progress in our practice in the past two years, it is only the late stage of the Grand Master. It is not a problem to break through to the Great Master within ten years. However, we are not sure about breaking through to the Land of Immortals in 20 years!"

Zhu Biao thought for a long time and said: "Father, the Ming Empire belongs to you. As long as you are safe, it will be a great deterrent to the grassland. Besides, what if the current situation is in turmoil? My Ming Empire was established in chaos. , How can we be afraid of them. Moreover, so what if we fight against the grassland countries, my Ming Empire is not the Great Zhou Empire, and it will not be so easy for them to take down my Daming Empire."

"As long as the father is here, no matter when the father breaks through the realm of the land gods, it will be the blessing of our Ming Empire. The lifespan of the land gods is five hundred. With the strength of the father, the Ming Empire should be able to protect our Ming Empire for hundreds of years."

"Father, how can decades of forbearance compare with hundreds of years of tranquility, you must not be impatient in your practice!"

Emperor Hongwu was silent for a while, then nodded slowly.How could he not be clear about what the prince said, but when the time comes, how many people in the middle land of Shenzhou will suffer, he can't bear it!

The Ming Empire seems to be blooming with flowers, and the fire is cooking oil.However, an empire without land gods is a paper tiger without minions.

Emperor Hongwu didn't know when the next big war would break out, it might be tomorrow or 30 years later.And this is the fundamental reason why he is eager to pass on the crown prince and practice in seclusion.The Ming Empire did not have the Sea God Needle!

Two flowers bloom, and people have different sorrows and joys.

Zhu Qi tried his best to plan, wanting the Ming Empire to unify China.On the other hand, Emperor Hongwu couldn't sleep at night, worrying about the survival of Ming Dynasty.

Perhaps this is the ignorance and fearlessness of the blind man and the elephant!

And the splendor of life comes from ignorance.

If Emperor Hongwu had known the terror of land gods when he raised his troops, it is still a matter of whether there is a Ming Empire now.

In the 14th year of Hongwu, Emperor Hongwu and the prince's arguing about the Zen position at the year-end banquet did not cause much disturbance.

In the current Ming Empire, whether or not the crown prince ascends the throne is just a matter of a ceremony. After all, Emperor Hongwu has delegated all the power to the crown prince.

Although Zhu Qi had some doubts in his heart, one more thing is worse than one less thing. He was not so curious to inquire about the prince's secret.

For the weak, too much curiosity is nothing but a reminder.

Hongwu 15 years.

"Kirin Bone Forging Method" still tortured Zhu Qi to death.

Every time I practice, my bones are sore, itchy, numb, and painful.

With the deepening of practice, Zhu Qi's understanding of the "Five Elements Body Refining Method" has also become more and more in-depth.
