Chapter 560: Improvement of longevity lamp
Return to Lingzhou City.
Garden mansion.
Sitting on the bench in the attic, looking at the lotus pond outside the window.
Shen Ping's eyes were a little confused.
What is destiny.
In his thinking, it is a person's life trajectory from growth to end. This trajectory is both predictable and changeable. Otherwise, if the outcome is doomed from the beginning, what is the meaning of practice?
No one wants to make a meaningless struggle under the arrangement of fate.
It can be done now.
Even the talents of the Life Lantern Masters in this world have been arranged long ago. Ordinary people are destined to be ordinary people for the rest of their lives without any chance of improvement. The same is true for the Life Lantern Masters, who are constantly reincarnating and repeating their predetermined fate.
Even if one or two lives are occasionally different, it is just a characteristic of the changeable fate.
If this is your true destiny.
What difference does it make whether it is resistance or obedience?
Shen Ping thought about the Immortal Realm and whether he was destined to follow the path of Jie Haifeng from the beginning. Golden Finger only accelerated this path.
“Husband.”
“It’s late at night, why aren’t you sleeping?”
at this time.
Yang Yimo came over. She looked at Shen Ping's expression and said, "My husband seems to have something on his mind."
Shen Ping sighed, "Yi Mo, do you think that if everything is destined by God, then is everything we have done in vain?"
Yang Yimo smiled hoarsely, "Why do you suddenly say these things, husband?"
“It’s nothing, I just feel it occasionally.”
“If everything is really destined by God, then I have to thank God for allowing me to meet my husband and be together.”
She leaned on Shen Ping's shoulder and said softly, "So not all things that are destined to be bad are bad."
Shen Ping held Yang Yimo's slim waist, shook his head and said, "You're right."
In this world.
The Life Lamp Master is born noble and can enjoy all the glory, women, wealth, status, lifespan, etc. at his fingertips. Even if the reincarnation repeats in every life, I am afraid that all the Life Lamp Masters will be willing to do so, and someone like him has a long life lamp. Those with talent can even become the legendary Nine-Star Life Lamp Master and dominate all living beings.
Even though fate dictates that he is destined to face those lantern masters who plunder the talent of the longevity lantern, this is nothing more than a hardship.
Compared to what we have enjoyed, it is not worth mentioning at all.
With such a fate, it seems too pretentious to talk about its meaning.
Including the realm of immortality.
Having a beautiful wife, beautiful concubines, great opportunities, and the growth of his own strength, what could he not be satisfied with?
Of course Shen Ping knows this, but it's just not worth it for those living beings at this moment. They have worked hard for life and life, but in the end nothing can be changed. It is really sad. So if this is the true meaning of fate, to be honest, he is very disappointed.
“Husband, don’t think so much.”
“Our understanding of the world may only be superficial.”
Yang Yimo consoled him.
Shen Ping lowered his head and pinched his red lips, "Yes, it's just an appearance."
He has only been studying destiny for a long time, and it would be too shallow to draw conclusions now.
It stayed warm for a while.
Yang Yimo said, "Husband, I think you will marry the girl Luo Lin next year. You are the director of the government office. You can't just have a wife like me. There should be more people in the family, otherwise it will look deserted."
"OK."
Lorraine is pregnant with the body of a flaming beast, so naturally he will not let her go.
…
Spring passes and autumn comes.
Cold comes and summer comes.
Another five years have passed quietly in the blink of an eye.
These five years.
After Shen Ping came to govern Lingzhou, he soon discovered that as long as it was something that benefited the people of Lingzhou or could change the fate of ordinary people on a large scale, the candlelight of the longevity lamp would be brighter, and it would increase faster when it absorbed the life energy of resentful spirits.
This made him understand that it is possible that the longevity lamp is related to the fate of all living beings.
Hence, he became more and more concerned about the governance of Lingzhou.
in this case.
The seven longevity lamps in his body are burning more and more brightly, not far from the top grade of Seven Stars.
Except.
After nearly four years of dating with Lorraine.
The Eye of the Flame Beast has indeed continued to grow, and now he can see the fate of ordinary people within a year, which is of great help to his observations.
And most importantly.
Through the Eyes of the Flame Beast, he intervenes and changes the fate of ordinary people and even life-lantern masters. He is more subtle and silent, and can change without leaving a trace in all aspects, rather than directly interfering.
“Use your own momentum to push the foundation and thread of destiny, and interfere with it, which will cause the least amount of backlash!”
“In other words, this is following fate.”
After figuring this out.
Shen Ping was very excited. He knew that now, he could finally participate in the arrangements of the power of destiny and understand and study destiny more clearly.
“A good son-in-law.”
“In the past few years, the weather in our country of Yun has been good, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and Lingzhou has become more and more prosperous under your rule. Your Majesty has issued a commendation decree, and you will come to the city in the near future.”
Speaking of which.
Yang's father-in-law said in a low voice: "But the Yan State has been experiencing constant disasters in recent years, with its national power declining and its people suffering. According to the intelligence collected by my Yang family in the Yan State, within three months, the Yan State will attack our Lingzhou again." ”
“This award also tells you to be prepared and secretly send reinforcements.”
Shen Ping suddenly realized and frowned: "If the Yan Kingdom goes to war this time, they will not withdraw their troops in a hurry like last time. In the war between the two countries, the people of Li will suffer."
Father-in-law Yang stroked his beard and smiled and said, "It is rare for a good son-in-law to have a heart for the people, but he must not have a woman's heart, otherwise he will not only harm himself, but also harm the people."
"I know."
…
Remote mountain ranges.
Have been waiting for so long.
The Fire Lord finally waited until the Lord returned.
“Unfortunately, this time we failed and failed to kill the Eight-Star Lantern Master.”
The owner lamented repeatedly, "Has anything happened in Yun and Yan in the years since I left?"
The fire master hurriedly said: "Nothing big happened. The princes of the Yan Kingdom have been fighting endlessly over the years, and there is no spare power to attack the Yun Kingdom. However, the Yun Kingdom took the opportunity to develop, and its national power became stronger and stronger. In recent days, the Yan Kingdom has made some moves in Beijing. The decision to attack Yun Guo Lingzhou is planned to take advantage of the opportunity to plunder a wave of wealth to enrich the national treasury.”
His master sneered, "The Yan State has only achieved this point. It is no longer the hegemonic country it once was. It seems that there is no real war between the two countries."
The Fire Lord hesitated and said, "By the way, Master, there is a happy event."
“What happy event?”
“Over the past few years, my subordinates have discovered that the newly appointed director of the government office in Lingzhou has the talent of longevity!”
When the owner heard this, he asked, "Seriously?"
"Hahaha, okay, very good, you have made great contributions to this matter." "The talent of longevity lamp is rare. I didn't expect to find another one. By the way, what kind of strength is he?"
“Seven-star middle grade.”
Seeing the owner showing excitement.
The Fire Lord couldn't help but ask, "My lord, haven't you already received the gift of a long-lived lamp?"
Its owner glanced at the Fire Lord, "For the sake of your meritorious service, I will tell you that the longevity lantern is the greatest opportunity in the world. Not only can you become a nine-star life lantern master, but there is also a slight possibility of transcending the nine stars. It just requires some special conditions. Although I don’t need a longevity lamp, the more reserves of this kind of talent, the better.”
“After I have thoroughly studied it, I will send this person to you to plunder.”
How could he not understand that the little Jiujiu in his subordinates' hearts is nothing more than wanting to plunder the longevity lantern and become a nine-star lantern master?
Don’t mind making a big pie for the other party.
“Thank you, master, thank you master!”
The fire master said excitedly: "By the way, master, if the director of the government office stays in the city, it will be difficult for you to trap him. Once you take action, it will also disturb the Yun Kingdom."
His master nodded, "This matter really needs to be considered in the long term. Although the Seven-Star Middle Grade is not low in strength, as long as he leaves the city, there is no need to worry about the life lantern formation in the city. By the way, Yan State is not going to attack Lingzhou. The city is just right to take advantage of the situation.”
“You quickly send your men to help the Yan Kingdom.”
"yes!"
…
Shen Ping didn't know that he was being targeted by the eight-star destiny lantern master, but even if he knew, he wouldn't take it to heart now. Breaking through to seven stars, combined with his various talents, as long as he is not an eight-star high-grade, He is not afraid.
After all, just strengthening his talent alone can instantly give him the strength of an eight-star lantern master.
at this time.
In the official office.
After seeing the imperial envoy who issued the decree.
The two came to the backyard to discuss.
“Dean Shen.”
“Your Majesty has secretly sent two eight-star lantern masters to support us and sit in Lingzhou City. If Yan dares to invade, they will regret it.”
“With two eight-star seniors in charge, Lingzhou has no worries.”
The imperial envoy smiled and said, "Your Majesty is very satisfied with Dean Shen's abilities. I hope you will pay more attention to food, grass, logistics and army deployment these days. Lingzhou is the northern barrier of our Yun Kingdom. If Lingzhou is safe, Yun Guo will be safe." ”
"If you have any difficulties, Dean Shen can tell me, and I will report it to the monarch."
Finished the conversation.
The imperial envoy left.
Shen Ping thought about it. Naturally, he didn't like war. If the two countries were at war, the fate of countless people would change. He could also take this opportunity to observe. Although it was somewhat utilitarian, such opportunities were rare. .
Moreover, the more casualties there are in the war, the more resentful spirits will gather. Combined with the evil spirit formed on the soldiers, the life energy will be produced, which will be of great help to the Seven Stars and the Life Lantern Masters above Seven Stars. The two Eight Stars in Kyoto The Life Lantern Master must have come here because of this.
It’s a pity that they don’t know that the mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole follows behind.
The Lord of Fire is also waiting for war.
Looking up at the sky.
The rolling clouds have a sense of pressure that a storm is about to come.
More than half a month has passed.
This day.
In the bedroom.
Shen Ping, who had just finished a battle, looked at the charming and rosy Luo Lin and held her in his arms lovingly. The rapid improvement of his Flame Beast Eyes was all due to the painstaking care of the beautiful woman in his arms.
Now it has reached a level of transformation.
The prophetic insight of the Eye of the Flame Beast has been increased from one year to five years.
Five years can basically predict a person's destiny. As long as you make good use of it, you can make a huge amount of intervention to change your destiny.
"From searching and discovering the various laws of fate, to participating in and utilizing...Although I still haven't really mastered a trace of the power of fate, if I continue like this, I will definitely be able to understand the real power of fate!"
this moment.
Shen Ping is extremely confident.
In fact, through these years of interference, he gradually discovered that the river of destiny is indeed extremely complicated. What he had previously understood and sorted out was only superficial, whether it was the foundation of the river of life, the line of the river of life, destiny, and the destiny of reincarnation, as well as One's own potential can only be seen and touched, but there are deeper connections in the vast river of destiny.
They are hidden beneath the river of destiny.
Only when change occurs, will the water be paid.
"Initial involvement, utilization, promotion, change... If these are the four ways to understand and comprehend the power of destiny, then I am still in the initial stage!"
The next day.
He came to patrol the city wall.
There are responsible officers who are directing the soldiers to reinforce the city wall, including the Ming Lantern Division.
Shen Ping immediately used the Eyes of the Flame Beast.
The fate of these lantern masters in the past five years is clearly visible.
Just two months later.
They are about to experience a war with the Yan State. Some of them will die, and some of them will be tempered and become more mature.
Through the examination of the Eyes of the Flame Beast, he almost completely restored the war that would happen in the future. Some loopholes in the city defense were also made up in time, and the lurking spies were eliminated one after another.
But within a certain range, fate is not fixed.
After Shen Ping solves the problem, new problems will arise, that is, a new destiny route.
After a month of preparation.
All possible issues have been prepared.
And he also knew that the owner of the Fire Lord would also appear in this war.
It just so happens that I have a lot of doubts.
can be obtained from it.
As the news of Yan's troops moving south came out, the clouds of war gradually came over. This time is different from the last attack by the Marquis of Yan. Instead, the entire Yan Kingdom's war machine is mobilizing. The number of troops invested alone exceeds Three hundred thousand, these are still elite soldiers, not counting the auxiliary soldiers and so on.
Therefore, Yun State also continuously mobilized troops to reinforce Lingzhou.
The business travel channel between the two countries has long been banned, and numerous checkpoints have been set up along the way.
Official office.
In the hall.
Shen Ping was discussing with the three major families, General Zhenbei and other senior members of Lingzhou.
According to information.
At the rate at which the Yan army is marching, it will take one and a half months before they reach Lingzhou City. This is still the front army. As for the large-scale siege, it will take at least two months.
“The State of Yan will definitely attack in advance, so please don’t be careless.”
“This time the Yan Kingdom is coming with great force and is well prepared. Their purpose is not just to fight against the autumn wind!”
Shen Ping said in a deep voice.
General Zhenbei narrowed his eyes, "I don't know where the dean got the information from. Yan State's national strength has declined in recent years. Although there are many elite soldiers gathered this time, it is still very difficult to conquer Lingzhou."
There are one hundred thousand soldiers in Lingzhou.
This is a standing army.
About 100,000 people were gradually transferred from other states, but it would take more than a month to arrive.
But only one hundred thousand for defense is enough.
“As long as we persist for more than half a year, huh, if Yan State mobilizes so many soldiers, it will definitely not be able to hold on!”
