Chapter Ninety-Seven: Nangong Xi Huangshi
I swept my gaze across the ground, the life that was still alive just now became a cold corpse in a blink of an eye, looking at the scene in front of me, I haven't been able to react from the bloody killing, my heart is in turmoil, a mess, for a while, I really can't immediately adapt to Zhang Liang in front of me, is it a gentleman or a devil, why take people's lives, there is no trace of mercy left.
He looked at me, and to my surprise, there was a gloomy, overwhelming look in his former clear eyes, but soon he regained his unfazed composure. He looked at Shao Yu and asked in a deep voice, "Can the body move?"
Shao Yu looked surprised, he didn't expect that the swordsman under the night clothes was Zhang Liang, presumably he saw Zhang Liang use force to use Ling Xu's swordsmanship for the first time like me: "Third Division......"
Zhang Liang made a gesture to interrupt him, "The surrounding patrol forces will soon find out about the situation here, and they must leave immediately." β
"Hmm. Shao Yu nodded and picked up Tianming, who was already unconscious.
I was a little apathetic and confused. Zhang Liang took a step closer and held my hand, perhaps it was my psychological effect, his hands were no longer so warm, they were a little cold, he tightened his palms again, looked at me with concern, and led me out of this killing place.
The early morning mist drifted over the ancient Songhai streets and alleys, and the faint dawn reflected the bluestone slabs underfoot. Slowly, there were more people on the street, and everyone started a new day of busyness.
We stood in front of the bridge, waiting for Chu Nangong to appear. Tianming was still unconscious, lying on Shaoyu's back.
"Yun'er, why haven't you spoken. He asked me suddenly, his voice a little hoarse, as if the killing breath of the night was still choking in his throat.
The bloody scene flashed in front of my eyes again, as well as his eyes that exuded a cold light, and he had already asked a sentence in his eyes: "Why do you have to close your throat with a sword and take people's lives?"
He paused, and then said calmly: "If you don't do this, you will alarm the surrounding patrol troops, and it won't be just these few people who will be injured." β
Taking a deep breath of moist air, I looked up at the quiet streets and alleys of the early morning, the fog was dispelled by the morning light, and the distant scenery gradually cleared. No matter how much darkness the night carries makes people confused and depressed, the morning still arrives as scheduled, even if there is sorrow, but it is a new day. His thumb rubbed gently against the back of my hand, and I could feel the smallest comfort, gentle and precious.
I know in my heart that he can't be blamed for this, in times like this, if he doesn't do it, we will be in an even more dangerous situation. But I came from a peaceful society, after all, I have never seen such a cruel scene with my own eyes, not counting the TV movies, but today it is happening alive in front of my eyes, and in retrospect, it seems that I can still smell the disgusting smell of blood. I think I still need time to digest.
"Third Master, Ziming, he ......" Shao Yu asked, seeing that Tianming was still in a coma, he couldn't help but be a little worried.
"Don't worry, Ziming has the internal force protection body taught by the giant, but he can't completely control this profound internal force and use it for his own use now. It's not a big deal. β
"Shaoyu, why were you caught by Qin Bing?" I then remembered to ask Shaoyu what happened.
"We met the Star Spirit. He seemed to be very interested in the jade pendant on Ziming's body. β
"So he didn't arrest you because he found out who you wanted?"
Shao Yu thought back for a moment: "It doesn't look like it. β
"It must have been the sudden situation in the General's Mansion that triggered the Star Soul, otherwise it would not be so easy to save people from him. Zhang Liang said.
"It's indeed as the Third Master said. Shao Yu nodded, looked at me and asked, "The spells of these puppets make people cold and weak all over, Third Master Niang, why don't you seem to be affected by spells at all?"
I was at a loss: "I don't really understand this." β
"It's coming. Zhang Liang interrupted our musings.
At the other end of the bridge, Chu Nangong staggered, came slowly, and said with a smile: "It seems that you are quite punctual, what about Ziming's children?"
"Senior, Ziming he fell asleep. Zhang Liang said.
"Ziming is asleep, don't you even want a gift?"
"To ...... Yes. Hearing that there was a gift, Tianming suddenly woke up.
"Hey, boy, you've been pretending to be asleep for a long time, let me carry you for a long time...... Come down for me!" Shao Yu said unhappily, seeing that Tianming was still dazed, he shouted in his ear, "Boy...... Eat roast pheasant. β
Tianming's eyes immediately widened: "Eat roast pheasant!"
Shao Yu smiled and shook his head: "He is satisfied with a roast pheasant, and any gift to him is a waste." β
Tianming saw Chu Nangong standing in front of him, and his spirit was shocked again: "Eh...... The old man with the white beard who lost his shoes...... Gift...... What a gift?!"
Chu Nangong was still smiling, and handed Tianming a scroll-like thing, looking at the box, it was very simple and exquisite, it must be a valuable thing, could it be a ...... inside?
"Ziming, don't hurry up and thank your seniors. Zhang Liang reminded Tianming.
Tianming was still inexplicable, as if such a thing was not the gift he was expecting, he said, "Oh...... Thank you seniors. β
Zhang Liang also respectfully bowed and asked Chu Nan to be fair: "The heavenly machine is mysterious, and it is tens of millions, and I hope that the seniors will dial it." β
"Heaven and earth are limited, Chu Nanxi Huangshi, the Tao is impermanent, and there is no need to point to it. Chu Nangong shook his head lightly and said slowly, moved a few steps, suddenly looked at me, and asked, "Mrs. Zhang, don't you have any questions to ask the old man?"
I was slightly stunned, remembering that Zhang Liang said that he would consult the text that appeared on Chu Nangong's "Canglong", I glanced at Zhang Liang, and saw that he nodded, so I asked Chu Nan Gongdao: "If things are restored to their origins, they will be realized." Obey the heavens and people, stop and stop. (This sentence comes from the twenty-eighth chapter of the Seven Nights of the Dragon, a sentence that suddenly appears in the ancient scroll "The Dragon".) I also hope that the seniors will guide me. β
"Hehehe. Chu Nangong smiled, touched his beard and said meaningfully, "There is no past and no present, the Gu of the world, move as you like, do not exceed the rules, and end up auspicious." Mrs. Zhang, please keep in mind that the old man has gone first. β
Chu Nanxi Huangshi, then this gift must be the legendary "Taigong Art of War". And what he asked me to keep in mind did clear up some of the confusion. 'Go with your heart, don't go beyond the rules. From the future, what I should do and what I shouldn't do, his words seem to help me set a yardstick for judgment, how to grasp the proportions, and it seems that I need to understand the meaning of his words to be clearer.
After Chu Nangong left, Zhang Liang took us away from the crowded market and came to a cliff where no one was around.
"It's safer here. The husband is not guilty, this gift is too valuable, you should take care of it. Zhang Liang solemnly took care of Tianming.
Tianming stared at the gift in his hand, puzzled: "Third Master, what is this gift......?
Zhang Liang said word by word: "Huangshi Heavenly Book." β
Tianming's face fell, disappointed and surprised: "Book of Heaven, this gift is actually a book!"
Zhang Liang looked at him and said with a smile: "Ziming, you don't seem to be very excited?"
Tianming shrugged his shoulders and expressed deep helplessness: "I am not literate in the first place, and I can't read ordinary books, let alone what kind of heavenly books are." β
Zhang Liang put away his smile and said seriously: "It seems that you still don't know how many people in the world envy you." How many people have spent their entire lives looking for this amazing book. β
"Huh......? Is this book so powerful?" Tianming looked at Zhang Liang with wide eyes.
Shao Yu on the side was already suddenly: "I remember! Is this book also called "The Book of Taigong"?
"That's true. Legend has it that 800 years ago, Taigong Jiang Ziya knew astronomy and geography, fine arrangement of troops, Tongqimen Dunjia, and before he helped Zhou Tianzi, it is said that he attained Taoism in Qishan, which is related to this book of heaven. Zhou Tianzi, with the help of the Taigong Jiang Ziya, united with 800 princes, defeated the large and well-equipped Shang Dynasty army, overthrew the tyrant King Zhou, and established the Great Zhou Dynasty. But although this strange book is related to Jiang Taigong, it is not from his hand, and the origin of this book is more than a thousand years. The earliest mortal associated with it, Xuanyuan, the Yellow Emperor. In ancient times, the god of war, the Chiyou Clan, was the most powerful force in the land. The Chiyou clan is warlike by nature and likes to kill, and the people have been tormented by the war for many years, and their lives have been devastated. The Xuanyuan clan led the people to come forward and start a great war with the Chiyou clan on this land. However, the Chiyou clan was very powerful, and Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor's troops were surrounded by regiments and fell into a desperate situation. At this time, Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor's spirit of fearlessness of strong enemies moved the heavens, and on an unknown hill, he was helped by the Nine Heavens Xuannu and granted him a book of heaven. Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor obtained the Book of Heaven, and finally turned the tide in a desperate situation, turned the tide, and defeated the powerful Chiyou clan. The earth has since regained peace and vitality. It is rumored that in the era of peace and prosperity, the Book of Heaven would disappear and disappear. And when the world is in turmoil, this book of heaven will appear again. β
"I see, then now that this book of heaven has appeared in the world again, does it mean ......" Shao Yu's eyebrows furrowed, realizing that the situation was strict.
Zhang Liangdao: "These things are a long time apart, but in fact, they are just legends. β
On the other hand, Tianming on the side was still wondering about other things: "Such a precious thing...... Why did that old man with a white beard give it to me...... I think this book should be given to you as the third master. β
I couldn't help but laugh, Tianming's words are really a bit of a dash from the prophet of Chu Nangong, I wonder if the book of Taigong will really return to Zhang Liang in the end? And listening to Zhang Liang say this, it seems that Tianming is not a simple person, and he is actually compared with Jiang Ziya and Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, and they have all obtained the so-called Book of Heaven.
It is a collection of pre-Qin military thoughts, through the form of dialogue between King Wen of Zhou, King Wu and LΓΌ Wang, expounding the theories and principles of governing the country, governing the army and guiding the war, and is known as the ancestor of the military and conspiracy.
"It's a gift from your predecessors, and there's always a reason for it. Zhang Liang turned to look at the rough sea, his gaze gradually distant, "Only mortals in the world are qualified to get a glimpse of the unfathomable heavenly opportunities, and if they understand it, they can obtain magical power to turn the great wheel of the times that determines the fate of the world." β
The sea is crossing, the smoke is rising again, and the great changes in the world are close at hand. And this troubled era seems to be far more complex and confusing than the historical record, and it seems that it is not just a war of dynastic changes......
