Chapter 236: Reincarnation of the Ninth Life, Enlightenment of the Ninth Life, the Opportunity of Harmony, and the Death of Lu Yunqing

There will indeed be too many regrets in this life.

There will be many unseen scenery.

However, the existence of the Great Thousand Canglan Map can make up for this.

During his reincarnation, Lu Mingyuan experienced a lot of life that he had never experienced before, took many paths that he had never been involved in, and completely perfected his own path.

In the process, he will inevitably meet Lu Yunqing and Yun Qinghe. The difference is that the battle between him and Lu Yunqing has not changed from the beginning to the end.

In the fourth life, Lu Mingyuan was born into a down-and-out family. With his outstanding martial arts, he became a chivalrous man who saved lives and healed the wounded. When he walked in the world, beautiful women and powerful people were beckoning to him, but Lu Mingyuan still maintained an innocent heart and fulfilled his chivalrous ways. .

It enjoys a very high reputation in the world.

Lu Yunqing, on the other hand, turned into a ruthless assassin with the ultimate goal of killing Lu Mingyuan. Unfortunately, he was defeated by Lu Mingyuan time and time again.

Yun Qinghe became the rich daughter of an exterminated family. She had no strength to tie a chicken and had never learned martial arts. She was rescued by Lu Mingyuan and ignited her desire to learn martial arts, but was hindered by her own weak will.

Fortunately, Lu Mingyuan successfully guided her, allowing her to pick up the sword again and regain her confidence. When she was on the right track, Lu Mingyuan then disappeared in front of her.

This made Yun Qinghe unable to let go, because she found that she fell in love with this famous hero.

In fact, this was a test that Lu Mingyuan left for her.

He must let Yun Qinghe find his Taoist heart in the world of Tujuan.

Fortunately, Yun Qinghe did not live up to his expectations.

Finally, under the teachings of the past, she became a heroine who was respected by everyone in the world. Lu Mingyuan has been watching her grow old.

In the fifth life, Lu Mingyuan was the son of a hunter born into a rich peasant family. When he was young, he lived with the spirits and monsters in the mountains.

Tired of living the life of idle clouds and wild cranes, Lu Mingyuan in this life relied on his outstanding martial arts talent to defect to the imperial court and became a martial arts examiner that year. He participated in large and small battles and was granted the title of Marquis.

And with outstanding performance, he participated in the competition to recruit a bride, married the princess of the dynasty as his wife, and became the court's consort.

Unexpectedly, the old emperor was secretly plotted by the new emperor. After he ascended the throne, he implemented a tyrannical rule and was cruel and inhumane, killing all his brothers and sisters.

It coincided with dynastic chaos, court corruption, and peasant uprisings, sweeping the country.

Lu Mingyuan had the status of a prince-in-law, which was very difficult to do. He didn't want to suppress the peasant uprising, serve the corrupt court, or overthrow this huge dynasty.

It happened that Lu Yunqing became the leader of this huge uprising.

There was an incompetent man in the court, Lu Mingyuan, who was very powerful. He was appointed as a general when he was in danger and defeated Lu Yunqing.

Then he turned around and relied on his military prestige to dethrone the new emperor and support the surviving young daughter to ascend the throne. He himself became the regent and protected the world.

When the empress grew up, Lu Mingyuan discovered that she was Yun Qinghe in this life.

As a result, Lu Mingyuan taught her how to be an emperor and how to treat the people well. Yun Qinghe respected him very much. After taking charge of the government, he was named a national master by the empress.

In the sixth life, Lu Mingyuan was a court official. With his connections, he became extremely powerful. He funded many scholars and maintained the stability of the country.

Both women and men can afford to read.

With his help, Yun Qinghe became a lady, knowledgeable and knowledgeable.

Lu Yunqing is also one of them. After being sponsored by Lu Mingyuan, he was admitted to the scholar examination, but was framed in the imperial examination and lost his reputation.

When he was down and out, he fell in love with a female ghost, but was not understood by the world. He was regarded as a monster by the people and was going to be burned to death.

At the critical moment, this thousand-year-old female ghost saved him.

And he went into a rage and killed an entire town.

As the governor, Lu Mingyuan was in charge of the prefectures and counties. After learning about the situation, he still killed the female ghost.

Since then, the two have turned against each other.

Finally died under Lu Mingyuan's sword.

In the seventh life, Lu Mingyuan was a Buddhist monk, and Lu Yunqing was the holy son of the demon sect, arbitrary and ruthless.

In the eighth life, Lu Mingyuan was a scholar who relied on his knowledge to become a talent in the imperial examination. Yun Qinghe was a white fox spirit. As a guide, Lu Mingyuan helped her enlighten her mind and embarked on the path of cultivation.

Lu Mingyuan relied on his own ability to become the number one scholar in the new subject, while Lu Yunqing was the second in the list and targeted him. The two were in a stalemate in the court and fought for ten years.

In the ninth life, Lu Mingyuan was the son of the Duke of China, and Yun Qinghe was a brothel girl. She was famous for her beauty in the capital, and was the most beautiful courtesan in the world. She enjoyed the admiration of men all over the world and wasted her youth in pursuit of fame and wealth.

After Lu Mingyuan redeemed himself, he took her out of the swamp, put aside the hatred of family and country, and lived for himself with peace of mind.

However, Lu Yunqing became the prime minister's grandson and his love rival, secretly and always his enemy.

He experienced nine lives in total, and Lu Mingyuan was deeply impressed by each of them.

During the process, Lu Mingyuan must stay rational at all times. Once he loses his rationality and forgets his original identity, he will be deeply involved in the plot.

If he falls, Yun Qinghe will undoubtedly be doomed.

On the other hand, Lu Yunqing has made great achievements in every life and conscientiously practiced his own path.

But he was defeated by Lu Mingyuan every time.

Lu Mingyuan's way is to follow his own path, uncompromising, and extremely pure. As long as he believes in one thing, he will not change it. It is a chivalrous way that establishes a destiny for the living.

Lu Yunqing's way is the way of an emperor who ignores other things in order to achieve his own goals.

He couldn't make the decision for himself, couldn't change the status quo, it wasn't that he didn't know, and if he didn't do so, he would die.

He will choose to give up a few people to save the majority.

A great chivalrous person serves the country and the people. He saves one person when he sees one.

And in the way of an emperor, you can give up many things. For hundreds of millions of people, it doesn't matter if you give up millions of people and have millions of corpses floating at your feet.

One life is really too long.

Basically, Lu Mingyuan lived for a hundred years in every life.

Long enough for people to forget why they came to this world in the first place.

What's more, the ninth generation?

It can be seen from this that the world of Tujuan is not a good place, but a bad land. People who are not mentally strong enough are likely to die in it.

"Emperor Orange's destiny - banished to the sky, the refining rate increases to 52%"

"The refining degree is 52%, promotion trait [Glass Heart] (Advanced)"

"Glazed Heart (Advanced): See through the world of mortals and clarify the true path. With a pure and dust-free Immortal Glazed Heart, the seven emotions and six desires cannot influence your judgment, and any inner demonic thoughts cannot be infected. Delusions, illusions, questions, and other means cannot Shake your Taoist heart.”

In response, Lu Mingyuan looked calm.

If it weren't for the "glazed heart" quality that kept him from getting lost in the illusion, he might have died in the picture scroll world.

After the end of the ninth reincarnation.

Lu Mingyuan's consciousness came to a world with dawn above his head.

There, there is a purple mulberry tree.

Under the tree, there is a clear old man, wearing a purple robe, elegant and easy-going temperament, meticulous forehead hair, and a long white beard under the chin. He has a sense of Taoism and immortality, and his energy is unfathomable, as if he has insight into everything in the world.

In front of the old man Qinglang, there is a Go board. It is obviously just a simple black and white chess piece, but it shows the momentum of swallowing mountains and rivers. It is like a heaven and earth unfolding. Countless black and white stones are dotted on the board, all of them are full of vitality and spirituality.

Lu Mingyuan's consciousness turned into a human body and came to the old man.

"sit."

The clear old man smiled slightly and extended his hand to signal.

Lu Mingyuan sat down politely, held his hands in front of the old man, and asked tentatively: "Senior, he should be Li Sheng."

"Exactly."

Li Sheng nodded slightly, picked up a white piece, and landed it on the chessboard in front of him.

In an instant, ripples appeared, and Bai Zi emitted a dazzling brilliance.

In front of Lu Mingyuan's eyes, the six-foot-long ancient chess table became larger and larger, extending in all directions, evolving into a huge world with continuous mountains, much like an unfolding map of the sky.

Much to his surprise.

Lu Mingyuan has heard that the more powerful the Confucian cultivators who practice chess are, the larger and more detailed the world they will evolve under the chessboard will be, including every mountain, every river, every city, and every person. , all presented.

Under the control of Li Sheng, there is a chessboard of heaven and earth in front of him.

"Congratulations to Your Highness, Your Highness won this game of chess."

"The reincarnation of nine lives does not mean that this picture can only go through nine lives, but that His Highness's state of mind has been perfect, and the victory or defeat has been decided."

Risheng reminded softly.

"Where's Lu Yunqing?"

Lu Mingyuan naturally knew that he would win. As for the fate of his eighth brother, he was still more concerned about it.

However, Li Sheng, Master Lu Yunqing, shook his head.

"I can't help him."

"What's the meaning?"

Lu Mingyuan frowned.

"Isn't the senior his husband?"

When the word "sir" was mentioned, Li Sheng seemed to be touched and sighed:

"The Great Thousand Canglan Picture is fair. Everyone who enters this picture will either live or die. As for the process, even I cannot interfere. I can only say that I am maintaining the operation of the picture."

"The Painting Sage is a saint that comes only once a thousand years. In terms of Taoism and conduct, he is still above me."

"I can only say that there are some things that I am to blame for."

Risheng seemed to be trying to hide something.

Lu Mingyuan asked: "You mean, senior will also feel guilty about using Lu Yunqing to fight for the throne?"

Seeing that Lu Mingyuan knew something about Lu Yunqing, Li Sheng said solemnly:

"Actually, it is useless to say that the Eighth Prince is a talent that can be cultivated. It is my original wish to accept him as a disciple. But in the end, I let such a good seedling fall into my hands. I am also very disappointed. sad."

Some things cannot be said openly.

Lu Mingyuan had already guessed it.

Li Sheng and his father must have some secret dealings.

My father helped Li Sheng promote Neo-Confucianism.

And Li Sheng accepted Lu Yunqing as his disciple, adding more bargaining chips to seize the legitimate son.

It's a reasonable deal.

Nothing wrong with that.

But Li Sheng did not think of his father's back-up plan.

Tiger poison doesn't even eat its children, but my father is capable of such a thing.

Using Kowloon to seize the legitimate son for his own selfish desires, he will return to the throne for hundreds of years!

Judging from his reaction just now, Li Sheng was probably unaware.

The premise is that Li Sheng is not pretending.

Therefore, Li Sheng's guilt is that he did not discover this earlier, but instead sent Lu Yunqing into a pit of fire. He failed to do his duty as a guide, and made the eighth brother a victim of the Kowloon's inheritance, and became what he is now.

"Do saints also make mistakes?"

Lu Mingyuan was silent for a while and said slowly.

"of course."

Li Shengping calmly admitted his mistake.

"Then what will be the attitude of the Confucian Temple next?"

Lu Mingyuan wanted to know the stance of Confucian Temple.

"Throughout the ages, the Confucian Temple's attitude has not changed. It assists the king and upholds order in the world, rather than going against the king. However, at the same time, the Confucian Temple will not help the tyrants and do things that harm the face of scholars."

After hearing these words, Lu Mingyuan finally understood.

keep neutral.

The Confucian temple will not interfere with the emperor's dethronement, let alone confront the dynasty.

After all, the way they eat and practice depends on the luck of the dynasty.

"Is Your Highness satisfied with this answer?"

"so so."

Lu Mingyuan said calmly.

"Everything is the general trend. I hope Your Highness will not feel resentful."

After these words fell.

The world in front of me turned into ink color again.

Outside Prince Chongwen's Mansion, a circle with a diameter of three feet was formed.

The royal family's offerings are waiting inside.

Outside the palace, many new arrivals appeared.

Jiang Shan and Luo Ying, dressed in white, stood by and waited quietly.

Su Youhuai, the internal affairs manager of the East Palace, and Shen Yuanxi, the head of the East Palace.

There were even monks from the three academies and people from the imperial court.

Ziyun Hongwan, Qi Muxue, Huo Hongling and others were waiting anxiously.

In addition, there is a plain-clothed fairy with a lotus hairpin.

Fairy Cihang, Sui Yuqing.

She even came to protect the Dharma in person. You can imagine how many things happened in the past nine days.

They were all the closest people to Lu Mingyuan, and they couldn't remain calm at this moment.

Nine days and nine nights have passed. Whether it is a success or a failure will soon be known.

Huo Hongling frowned and asked: "Muxue, in the long history of the Confucian Temple, there should be some seniors who entered the Great Thousand Canglan Tu to gain experience, right?"

Qi Muxue, who was wearing a green dress, nodded and said: "There are indeed a few, but the number is very small, no more than a hundred people."

"What's successful?" Huo Hongling asked.

Qi Muxue pondered for a moment and said: "About 20%, only seventeen."

"How could the Great Thousand Canglan Map be so dangerous?" Huo Hongling was slightly moved and surprised.

Because once it fails, it means death.

Their hearts are still hanging on.

Until the last minute, no one knows what the outcome will be?

"Chi!"

A slight sound rang out from the Great Thousand Canglan Picture in the sky, and two bright points of light flew out from the picture and rushed towards Lu Mingyuan and Yun Qinghe respectively.

The next moment, the two of them opened their eyes and stared at each other at the same time.

Yun Qinghe's eyes were a little confused, and he murmured to himself: "Am I dead? Husband, why are you here? No, I am not Xie Wanqiu, I am Yun Qinghe."

Xie Wanqiu was her nickname when she was an oiran in her last life.

Recalling everything, Yun Qinghe raised his hands, two strong waves of Dao Qi surged in his palms, and placed his palms flat on his chest.

She slowly closed her eyes and began to digest the insights and memories of the ninth life, integrating them all to make them clear.

Compared to Yun Qinghe, Lu Mingyuan was in big trouble.

Although, in these nine lives, Lu Mingyuan has always maintained his memory, and at the same time he also knows that it is an illusory world.

However, the memory of the nine lives he has experienced is too vast. It also contains Lu Mingyuan's understanding of martial arts, Buddhism, Confucianism, immortality, swordsmanship, boxing, palm skills and many other things. It will not be possible to master it overnight. They are all consumed.

at this time.

Sui Yuqing walked behind Lu Mingyuan, stretched out a palm, and placed it on top of Lu Mingyuan's head.

"Your Highness, you have experienced many reincarnations, and the insights you have gained are comparable to those of an ancestor who has lived for thousands of years. With your current age and experience, and even your cultivation and spiritual world, it is impossible to get them all at once. Digest them all. Now, let me help you seal most of the memories and perceptions."

Sui Yuqing used the Taoist god-refining method to condense the dazzling halo into Lu Mingyuan's body from the Tianling Cap.

Gradually, Lu Mingyuan's face gradually returned to normal and was no longer as pale as before.

Feeling much better.

For a moment just now, he almost thought he was going to die from these memories.

Remembering them all is not a good thing.

When Lu Mingyuan raised his head, he saw the presence of many figures, all of whom were staring at him with joy in their eyes.

"Twilight snow."

Lu Mingyuan hugged Qi Muxue into his arms, his voice trembling slightly.

"It's great to see you again"

"How long have I been in there?"

Qi Muxue seemed to understand his feelings very well and replied softly: "Nine days."

Lu Mingyuan couldn't help but hug him tighter.

Nine reincarnations, for them.

Only nine days.

But for him, it is a real deal year by year.

Seeing them embracing each other, Yun Qinghe, who was meditating at the side, looked slightly unnatural.

Because she remembered everything.

Including everything Lu Mingyuan did to her in the picture scroll world!

There are even some things that are simply hard to talk about.

Not knowing what he thought of, Yun Qinghe's face turned red, and he couldn't help but turn his head away, no longer looking in Lu Mingyuan's direction.

"Your Highness! Wake up!"

"Your Highness."

After a while, a burst of crying came from the palace of Prince Chongwen.

Lu Mingyuan's eyes moved to the entrance of the palace.

Only then did he realize that it was Lu Yunqing lying at the door, with his eyes closed and unconscious.

No matter what, he didn't wake up.

Sui Yuqing came to Lu Yunqing, and after investigating, he sighed: "King Chongwen's consciousness is on the verge of dissipating, and his soul is weak. It seems that there is no end to the end."

Such a diagnosis caused shock and confusion among many worshipers.

How could His Highness lose?

Lu Yunqing is a Confucianism cultivator. Aren't Confucianism cultivators the best at training the mind?

How could he lose to a martial artist!

"Eighth brother."

Lu Mingyuan looked at Lu Yunqing's unconscious appearance with an extremely complicated expression.

Although he won, his mood was not as good as he imagined.

Lu Yunqing's most loyal old sword-holding slave didn't say anything. He just held Lu Yunqing's body and sighed secretly.

"Skills are not as good as people's, time is the same, and fate is the same."

The old slave holding the sword took out a red lacquered letter from his pocket and handed it to Lu Mingyuan.

"This is what His Highness personally confessed. If I am unable to leave the Great Thousand Canglan Map, I will hand it over to you."

After finishing speaking, he took Lu Yunqing's body and left the palace silently.

Lu Mingyuan held the letter and looked at each other speechlessly for a long time.

"Your Highness, my condolences."

Ziyun Hongwan seemed to notice his sadness and comforted him one after another.

"There are still many things waiting for His Highness to deal with." Su Youhuai, the manager, reminded softly.

"A lot of things happened in these nine days."

"The war in the imperial court has also taken a turn for the worse. The border war is not optimistic, Mr. Qi."

When Lu Mingyuan heard this, his eyes widened: "What's wrong with my father-in-law?"

Mentioning this, Qi Muxue's eyes darkened inexplicably.
