I can see the hidden conditions of martial arts

Chapter 100 Taoist Tongtian returns to the capital

Tianxin Palace.

In the garden, Ling Feng slowly opened his eyes, looked at the gradually decreasing rain and smiled lightly, "After several years of hard work, I finally succeeded!"

He glanced in the direction of Leng Gong, thoughtfully.

"Today's song is very different. It makes people empty their minds and enter an ethereal state. If it weren't for the help of this piano sound, it would still take some time for me to understand God's will." Ling Feng thought to himself.

The next day.

When he was going to the Library Pavilion, he passed by the Leng Palace and saw Concubine Liu Guifei watering the flowers. He curiously asked: "I wonder what the music was about the piano that the empress talked about yesterday?"

"Yesterday?"

Concubine Liu thought for a while and said, "I talked about several pieces of music yesterday, but I don't know which one is specifically meant for worship?"

"Played it yesterday when it rained."

"Oh, Sir, you are talking about [Light Smoke and Draining Rain Song]. It rained yesterday, and I thought of this piece of music. This is a piece of music composed by my master. It has the effect of calming the mind and calming the mind. My master sang it when it rained. Play it often."

"I see."

Ling Feng was thoughtful.

"Holy worship, don't you know what's wrong with this piece of music?"

Ling Feng shook his head and smiled, "No, this song is very good. By the way, Concubine Liu, you have been staying in this cold palace. If you need any help, please tell me. If I can help, I will not refuse." .”

He is not a person who does not repay kindness.

Liu Guifei's song "Light Smoke and Draining Rain" helped him advance to the supreme master level and realize the divine meaning of rain. Of course he had to express it.

Concubine Liu thought for a while and said, "I don't need anything. On the contrary, I feel much cleaner when I stay here than before.

I just sometimes miss my prince who patrols various counties. He seems to be majestic, but he works hard and I don’t know if he eats well..."

"Visiting various counties will bring no harm to the Second Prince. Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. The Second Prince will be back soon."

Ling Feng smiled.

He chatted with Concubine Liu for a few words, and the other party didn't need his help for anything. Ling Feng didn't force it, he just silently noted the favor.

Time flickers.

Another few months passed.

The Second Prince's inspection of various counties is progressing smoothly.

It is estimated that he will be able to return to the royal capital in another half a year.

When Ling Feng was in the palace, he occasionally met the eldest prince. Just like at that time, he tried to recruit him, but he refused.

It can be seen that the second prince's tour of various counties has put a lot of pressure on him.

He desperately wanted to win over Ling Feng.

But Ling Feng's repeated rejections made him increasingly impatient.

Due to the status of the other party's master, he couldn't do anything. He could only try his best to win over other people in the court and try to increase his power before the second prince returned.

But this didn't go very smoothly either.

Once, an official of his prince's palace was jealous of others in a brothel and beat him to death. This was not a big deal at first. As long as he was willing and used a little bit of tactics, he could suppress it.

But I don't know which link went wrong along the way. This matter actually came to the attention of Emperor Zhou. The emperor was furious, scolded him for his incompetence, and sentenced him to confinement in his mansion for three months.

For these three months, he couldn't even leave the house.

Not to mention winning over other courtiers.

And on this day.

Another big event happened in the royal capital.

The national master who went out to travel far and wide, Tongtian Taoist, came back.

As soon as he came back, he reported a major event to the Zhou Emperor, saying that the national destiny of the Great Zhou Dynasty was about to fall into turmoil and the country was in danger of subjugation.

in the hall.

A white-haired Taoist in green shirt stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly: "Your Majesty, I watched the stars at night and found the image of Yinghuo Shouxin, which symbolizes that the national destiny of the Great Zhou Dynasty will be turbulent, and there will be a mutiny in the Great Zhou Dynasty."

"National Master, I don't know how to resolve it?"

Emperor Zhou rubbed his eyebrows, feeling a little worried.

He still trusts Taoist Tongtian, even though he has not taken many shots since he became the national master.

But every time, huge crises can be resolved.

If others said that the Great Zhou Dynasty was turbulent, he would sneer at it.

But since these words came from Taoist Tongtian, he had to be cautious.

"It is not difficult to resolve it. As long as a tower is set up in the royal capital for the people to worship, I will use my secret method to make the people willing to go up to heaven to listen. I can protect the Great Zhou Dynasty and stabilize the national destiny again. "

"Tongtian Tower? I don't know how big it needs to be."

"I have already prepared the drawings for your Majesty to take a look at."

Taoist Tongtian took out a blueprint and handed it to Emperor Zhou. The emperor took it and took a look at it, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.

Although he didn't understand architecture, judging from the drawings, this Tongtian Tower was very large and could not be built simply.

"Minister of the Ministry of Industry, come and see, if this Tongtian Tower is to be built, how much money and manpower will it cost?"

Emperor Zhou handed the drawing to the Minister of the Ministry of Industry. After the other party took it and took a look at it, he hesitated and said: "This, the scale of Tongtiantai is far larger than any pavilion and palace that the Ministry of Industry has been responsible for in the past. I'm afraid it will take several years." Gong."

"It is best to complete it within a year. Otherwise, even if the Tongtian Tower is built due to the military disaster in the Great Zhou Dynasty, it will have an impact on the national destiny."

Taoist Tongtian said.

"One year? This is too early. How much manpower and material resources will be consumed? I'm afraid there will be public dissatisfaction by then." said the Minister of Industry.

"This is all for the foundation of the Great Zhou Dynasty. If the Tongtian Tower cannot be built, it will not be as simple as public resentment."

"But..." The Minister of Industry still wanted to say something, but Emperor Zhou waved his hand, "Just follow the instructions of the Imperial Master and do your best."

He did not necessarily allow the Ministry of Works to complete the project within a year.

Just try your best.

Obviously, although he has great trust in the imperial master, he does not want to waste too much money and waste money on building a tower to the sky, causing public resentment.

When Taoist Tongtian heard this, his eyes flickered but he said nothing.

The Minister of Industry also accepted the order and prepared to build the Tongtian Tower.

"By the way, Your Majesty, I heard that there is a new Grand Master in the palace?"

At this time, Taoist Tongtian thought of something and asked curiously.

Emperor Zhou smiled slightly and said, "You are talking about Ling Congfeng. Indeed, Ling Congfeng has already reached the level of a master at a young age. It is a blessing for the court to have his help. If the imperial master is free, he can go Find him."

"Oh, I'm also very interested in this person."

…………

"I heard that as soon as the imperial master comes back, he will ask your majesty to build a tower to the sky. After reading the drawings, the minister of the Ministry of Industry is dizzy."

"It's just an altar, what's the problem?"

"Tsk tsk, you don't know this. I have a friend who works at the Ministry of Industry. He has also seen the drawings. The word "Tongtian" on the "Tongtian Tower" is not a lie. The height alone is more than 90 feet... "

"More than 90 feet? Isn't that as high as a mountain?"

"That's not all. The Tongtian Tower is more than 90 feet high. What kind of jade steps should be used, silver bricks to pave the floor, coral agate embellishments, etc. Even if it is a place where gods live, it is not so exaggerated."

"Why should we build a tower to the sky?"

"It is said to be to stabilize the national destiny."

"In order to build this high platform, the national destiny will be unstable, right?"

"Shh, keep your voice down, don't talk nonsense, let people hear it, even if you have ten heads, they won't be able to chop it off!"

Inside the Library Pavilion.

Some scribes were discussing in low voices.

While reading, Ling Feng also learned about the Tongtian Tower, and frowned slightly, "What is this Tongtian Taoist doing?
There is also the theory of luck, which is illusory. Does this Tongtian Taoist really have some magical means to observe luck or even control it? "

There are many rumors about Taoist Tongtian.

One of the most talked-about points is that this person is not only proficient in martial arts, but also knows how to divination, stargazing, finding dragons and acupoints, fortune-telling, etc.

Like a living god.

When he lived in the Wulin League, Li Chenyuan occasionally mentioned this Taoist Tongtian, highly praised him, and even felt inferior to him.

This shows the ability of this Taoist.

Even the Emperor of Zhou obeyed his advice.

If he wants to build a tower to the sky, let him build it.

"interesting."

Ling Feng was very interested.

After reading the book, he returned to Tianxin Palace, and at the entrance of the palace, a white-haired old man in a green shirt stood with his hands behind his back.

After noticing his return, she turned around and smiled lightly.

"Ling Gongfeng, you are finally back."

Ling Feng glanced at the other party, and a golden light flashed in his golden eyes.

At first, there was a faint layer of mist outside the other party's body, which hindered his observation, but then, his eyes penetrated the mist.

The majestic true energy in the other party's body came into view.

Compared to Li Chenyuan, it is much deeper.

There is only one step away from the great master.

He is the strongest warrior he has ever encountered so far.

"You must be the current imperial advisor."

"Exactly." Taoist Tongtian smiled faintly and saw a strange color flashing in Ling Feng's eyes, "I noticed a golden light flashed through Ling Gongfeng's eyes just now. If I guessed correctly, Ling Gongfeng also knows how to look at Qi. The art of it."

No one else has ever discovered Jin Tong's observation.

But he said it in one sentence, which surprised Ling Feng.

"The Imperial Master is really knowledgeable."

"I wonder what Ling Gongfeng saw?"

Ling Feng thought that when observing the other party, the layer of mist outside the other party's body was obviously a method of hiding the aura.

Although I saw through it, I didn't want to say it.

"The state master's cultivation is unfathomable. I just feel like I'm looking at a fog, and I don't see any reality."

"Ah."

Taoist Tongtian smiled faintly and was not surprised. He himself practiced a method of concealing his aura. Ordinary masters would not be able to see through his cultivation.

Unless a great master observes with his spiritual consciousness, it is possible to see through it.But Grandmaster, he is neither.

How could it be the young man in front of me?
He looked at Ling Feng and said with a smile: "I also know a little bit about the art of reading Qi. It is disrespectful to come and go without reciprocating. I also came to see the authenticity of Ling's enshrinement."

Done.

Purple light flashed in his eyes.

But then, he let out a sigh and looked at Ling Feng strangely.

In his observation, Ling Feng did not have the slightest trace of a warrior's aura.

Just like an ordinary person.

Obviously, the other party has also practiced some kind of hidden cultivation method, and it is extremely clever. Even his own Qi-gazing technique cannot be seen through.

"It's interesting. I didn't expect that I would meet someone of the same kind today."

Taoist Tongtian laughed and became more and more interested in Ling Feng.

Ling Feng welcomed the other party into the house.

Let the maids prepare the food and wine.

The maids did not dare to be careless in the slightest.

You must know that these are two masters. They can be said to be the two most respected ones in the Great Zhou Dynasty, second only to the Emperor Zhou.

Taoist Tongtian glanced at the palace ladies and said calmly: "These palace ladies all have true energy in their bodies. It seems that they were sent by His Majesty to monitor Ling Chongfeng.

However, it is natural that His Majesty would be wary of a young master like Ling Gongfeng suddenly joining the imperial court. "

Hearing this, Ling Feng didn't answer.

This Taoist Tongtian is really fishy.

As a royal advisor, he should protect Emperor Zhou's face. Even if he knew that these maids were sent by Emperor Zhou, he should not say so openly.

Moreover, could Ling Feng not know that these palace ladies possess martial arts skills and might be spies of the emperor?
he knows.

But over the years, these maids had tried their best to serve him, so he did not expose it, giving himself and the Emperor Zhou a layer of dignity.

How could Taoist Tongtian not understand this truth?
Unless he intended to sow discord between Emperor Zhou and Ling Feng.

A series of thoughts flashed through Ling Feng's mind, but he did not say them out, but he was a little more wary of this Tongtian Taoist.

At the dinner table, the two of them were talking happily, but they were testing each other.

"Speaking of which, I haven't fought against the grandmaster since my spar with Li Chenyuan more than ten years ago. I wonder if Ling Gongfeng can give me a chance later?"

"Oh, it's hard to refuse the Imperial Master's kindness. How can I refuse?"

Ling Feng smiled slightly.

He also wanted to test the opponent's strength personally.

I think the same goes for the other party.

"it is good."

Taoist Tongtian's eyes flashed.

After a while, the two left the palace. After all, the battle between masters was no small matter. If they fought in the palace, there would be a lot of noise.

Under the night.

Taoist Tongtian's figure is flying in the sky, as if he is riding on the wind, and his speed is extremely fast.

Ling Feng, on the other hand, wields a sword and is not slow either.

After seeing each other's methods of rushing, they were all somewhat impressed.

"What a brilliant swordsmanship. Even the White Sword Star is not even one-tenth as fast as Ling Xianfeng." Taoist Tongtian said.

"The Imperial Master is so complimentary, and the Imperial Master's physical skills are also extraordinary."

"This is [Lingxu Wind Control Step]. It is an earth-level body technique that I obtained by chance."

"Lingxu Yufeng is worthy of his name."

The two were fast.

After a while, they arrived at a hilltop outside the royal capital.

Here, the two people were more than ten feet apart, facing each other. Before they could fight, their momentum had already collided in the air.

From time to time there are bursts of sonic booms.

"Ling Zongfeng, be careful."

Taoist Tongtian took the lead and pointed towards Ling Feng.

His fingertips were filled with thunder and lightning.

It is his unique skill [Thunder Finger]

Ling Feng had seen this martial art from Liu Yuan before, but compared to Taoist Tongtian, Liu Yuan's Thunder Finger was far inferior.

The fingers were like thunder, like a wild beast tearing through the night sky, quickly hitting Ling Feng.

Ling Feng refused to retreat or evade, and his sword pointed at him.

The sword energy flew across the sky, and the [Ten Meridian Sword Fingers] was used accordingly.

Sword energy and thunder and lightning burst out, and the night seemed to be lit up.

In the past, Ling Feng was able to gain the upper hand over Liu Yuan by using [Ten Meridian Sword Fingers] against [Thunder Fingers], but he failed this time.

At first he didn't exert his full strength.

Secondly, this [Ten Meridian Sword Fingers] is only a Xuan-grade martial arts, how can it be compared to the [Thunder Finger] which is an Earth-grade martial arts?

With a thought in Ling Feng's mind, the long sword shot out of the air.

Execute the art of sword control.

The long sword was wrapped with sword energy and moved around him like a dragon, blocking every thundering finger of Taoist Tongtian one by one.

"What a sword-managing move."

"I know how to use swordsmanship, Ling Gongfeng might as well give it a try!"

Taoist Tongtian said, and then his figure rose into the air, and he saw a sharp sword energy exuding from his body, and a simple long sword was unsheathed at his waist.

The sword energy traveled around his body and then condensed in the sky.

Accompanied by a loud dragon roar.

A golden dragon emerged.

It is another great secret skill of Taoist Tongtian, [Shocking Dragon Sword Technique]

The Jinglong Sword Qi swooped down towards Ling Feng, and the cold sword pressure caused the ground under his feet to dent inch by inch.

Ling Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, and the long sword that was wandering in the air suddenly fell back into his hand. He raised the long sword high and used the Emperor's Sword.

The brilliant sword energy is more domineering than the Jinglong Sword Art.

The two sword energies struck together.

The surrounding area was covered with countless sword marks, and it was a mess with a radius of hundreds of feet.

The huge movement attracted the attention of some experts in the capital, and some people rushed towards the two of them.

After the sword energy slowly dissipated.

Taoist Tongtian looked at Ling Feng who was unscathed and praised: "Ling Chongfeng's swordsmanship skills are really beyond imagination. I admire you."

"The strength of the national master is also extraordinary."

This time the fight ends here.

But both of them knew in their hearts that neither of them used their full strength.

All have reservations.

As for how much they have retained, only they themselves know.

"Someone is coming, let's go back too."

Taoist Tongtian smiled slightly, and then Lingxu Yufeng once again walked back to the palace in the air, followed by Lingfeng with his sword.

Not long after they left, some people came to the scene of the battle and couldn't help but feel shocked when they looked at the intricate sword marks on the ground.

"What terrifying traces of battle. The strength of the person who took action is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary innates. He may be... a grandmaster!"

"There were actually grandmasters fighting here before?!"

"Oh, it's a pity that I came a step too late."

Some people beat their hands and feet, feeling a little regretful.

After all, Grandmaster battles are very rare and not something ordinary people can see.

…………

royal palace.

Tianxin Palace.

After Ling Feng came back, he was adjusting his breathing and Qi.

As for Taoist Tongtian, he also returned to his own residence.

In this battle with the opponent, Ling Feng roughly figured out the opponent's cultivation level.

Although not as good as himself, he is still one level stronger than Li Chenyuan. Although he did not use his true strength in this battle, Ling Feng was sure that the strength of this Taoist Tongtian would not pose any threat to him now.

This made him feel relieved, "It seems that in today's royal capital, I can let go of my hands and feet, and no one can do anything to me."

of course.

Even though he is invincible, that doesn't mean he wants to do whatever he wants.

Just act in the future without worrying about anything.

the other side.

In a dormitory.

Taoist Tongtian was lying naked on the bed, and there was a slim figure on his body that was rising and falling, humming softly.

"Teacher, Master, you are so amazing..."

After a long time, the delicate figure lay on Taoist Tongtian's chest.

Taoist Tongtian played with the other party's hair and said: "These days, Yu'er seems to be grounded by His Majesty."

"Well, Your Majesty is always like this. When one party is strong, he will check and balance the other party. When one party is weak, he will support him to prevent anyone from really gaining the upper hand."

"He is quite proficient in the art of checks and balances among emperors."

"Master, have you seen that Ling worshiper?"

"I've seen it before. He is indeed an unparalleled genius. Unfortunately, I heard that Yu'er has tried to woo him many times, but it is difficult to impress him. It seems that he has no intention of taking action, and he is very powerful. If it is not necessary, don't offend him first. "
