Chapter 300: Talent Sword Gate
The so-called Nine Elders of Xing Sui are the nine heroes who created the foundation of Sui, assisted Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian, and unified Huayi.
It was precisely because of their assistance that Emperor Wen of Sui was able to reunify the land of China, end the great division of China that lasted for more than 300 years since the Three Kingdoms era of the Later Han Dynasty, and end the turbulent era of war.
The country can be reunified, the people can live in peace and happiness, the immortal achievements of Emperor Wen of Sui are inseparable from the painstaking efforts of the nine elders of the Sui Dynasty, the people are grateful to Emperor Wen of Sui at the same time, but also reverence for the nine elders of the Sui Dynasty, the nine elders not only get the position of the minister, but also spread as a good story among the scholars and the common people.
Emperor Wen of Sui died, and Emperor Yang of Sui succeeded to the throne. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was so happy with his achievements, built a lot of buildings, and used troops for many years, which made the people of the world miserable, and the people's lives were miserable.
In the view of the nine elders of Xingsu, the country has just achieved reunification, and the continuous wars have overwhelmed the people, so they should rest with the people and follow the rule of Wenjing.
It is a pity that in the eyes of Emperor Yang of Sui, he only saw the exploits of Emperor Qin and Han Wu, and did not consider the actual situation of the Sui Dynasty at all. Not only did he ignore the bitter advice of the Nine Elders, but he thought that the Nine Elders' positions were high and powerful, and it was inevitable that they would be disobedient.
Jiu Lao is the pillar of the Great Sui Dynasty, Emperor Yang of Sui deviated from Jiu Lao, it is irreversible, embarked on a road of no return, overwhelmed the people, and finally broke out a large-scale peasant uprising, born in the Guanlong group of Tang Guogong Li Yuan, finally overthrew the rule of Emperor Yang of Sui, the establishment of the current Li Tang Dynasty.
In order to reflect its own orthodoxy, but also to appease the remnants of the previous dynasty, and to commend the Guanlong group that supported the Li family, although the Tang Dynasty gave Emperor Yang of Sui an exaggerated extremely negative evaluation, it gave the nine elders a highly positive evaluation.
At that time, most of the nine elders of Xing Sui died at the hands of Emperor Yang of Sui, and those who were not harmed by Emperor Yang of Sui also died of death, Li Yuan let the descendants of the nine elders enter the dynasty as officials, and their lords were inherited from generation to generation, which not only attracted the hearts of the old people of the Sui Dynasty, but also the hearts of the Guanlong Group.
Until the era of Wu Zetian, in order to remove their own obstacles and weaken the power of the Guanlong group, the descendants of the nine elders were persecuted by Wu Zetian, and after Li Longji inherited the throne, they were restored one after another.
Jianmen Pass is the barrier of Xichuan, only by guarding Jianmen Pass can we ensure the integrity of Shudi, and Emperor Li Longji will not be in danger, knowing that the descendants of the nine elders are loyal and filial piety, not like An Lushan Yang Fengyin violation, Li Longji crowned the descendants of the nine elders as the nine elders of Jianmen, and the lords and Lu were promoted to one level to commend their benevolence, righteousness and bravery.
When the Anshi Rebellion was pacified, although Li Longji could not see this day, his descendants, in order to praise the patriotism of the nine elders, established a Taoist temple near Jianmen Pass, called [Talent Jianmen] day and night incense, for future generations to worship the Anshi Rebellion when the nine elders of Jianmen emerged.
Since then, it is said that their descendants have assisted successive emperors to cut the domain, and after the failure of the cutting of the domain, they were persecuted by the eunuchs, and the descendants of the nine elders who survived the catastrophe came to the [Talent Sword Gate], they were dedicated to cultivating the Tao and did not care about the red dust, and even once enjoyed the reputation of cultivating immortals, but then it suddenly declined, and the name of the Talent Sword Gate slowly faded out of people's field of vision.
Murong Jie never expected that he would come here by mistake, if he didn't guess wrong, the long-abandoned mansion in front of him was probably the former [Talent Sword Gate].
Looking at the desolation in front of him and the former glory, Murong Jie couldn't help but think of Liu Yuxi's poems. The wild grass and flowers by the Vermilion Bird Bridge, the sunset at the mouth of Wuyi Alley, the swallow in front of Wang Xie Tang in the old days, flew into the homes of ordinary people.
The ups and downs of the sea and the changes of the world, everything is just sudden. Think about the nine elders of the Xing Sui in the past, Wu Jianzhang, the loyal and filial piety king, who was knocked out by Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, and how tragic it should have been when he died.
The founding marshal Gao Ying and Shangzhu He Ruobi were loyal and straightforward, but they were killed by Emperor Yang of Sui. Yue Wang Yang Su knew that Emperor Yang of Sui was difficult to admonish, so he indulged in wine and Taoguang to raise obscurity, hoping to save his life, which was originally considered to be the end of his life, but Emperor Yang of Sui was really intolerable, and finally forced Yang Su's son, the nine elders of Xing Sui, in the end, several people died well.
The house in the stone cave is very old and abandoned, even if the descendants of the nine elders once lived in this place, it has long been empty.
No matter how you look at this place, it is impossible for people to live in it, Murong Jie can't help but have some doubts, whether the thief really lives in it, is he a descendant of the Ninth Elder. But after thinking about it again, this place is unrestrained, even if the thieves are really hiding here, it is impossible for him to live here, maybe he just wants to use the prestige of the Nine Elders to make him retreat.
The thief took the Red Lotus Blade, Mo said that he was not the descendant of the Nine Elders, even if the Nine Elders took his Red Lotus Blade, he would snatch it back from the Nine Elders.
Murong Jie didn't know the depth of his opponent's cultivation, and he was facing the darkness where he couldn't see his five fingers, so Murong Jie had to be cautious when he tiptoed and sneaked.
He searched all over his body to find something that could be used as a weapon, so that he wouldn't fight with his bare hands. Murong Jie searched again and again, but he couldn't find anything that could be used as a weapon, and the only thing worth mentioning on Murong Jie was the nine-tailed silver fox and the Qiqi Mozhu in his arms.
If you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger, and if you delay it any longer, Murong Jie is afraid that he will let the thieves slip away.
Murong Jie was bold and walked into the ruined mansion, Murong Jie tensed every nerve and carefully observed everything around him.
The courtyard was large and empty, with different houses several feet apart, and the ground was full of scattered ritual utensils and all kinds of sacrificial items.
Murong Jie paused step by step, and walked forward cautiously, he didn't know where the knife thief was, which also meant that the knife thief could appear anywhere in the courtyard.
Murong Jie walked into the room directly in front of him, and it seemed that only through this big room could he go to the backyard of this courtyard.
The house is very chaotic, but it is full of all kinds of magic weapons, these magic weapons have both Xuanmen and Shamen, which makes people look very incomprehensible, and it is difficult to identify from it, this house is the Taoist temple of Xuanmen or the treasure temple of Shamen.
Stains of rust do not obscure the skill of making these vessels, and the remnants of exquisite frescoes can be faintly seen on the surrounding walls.
Murong Jie walked around the room three times, and the strange murals on the walls seemed to be some kind of beast that he had never seen before, but the murals on the wall were too blurry, and Murong Jie couldn't see what kind of monster it was, but Murong Jie was very sure that it was some kind of divine beast, and the number of divine beasts seemed to be very large.
Suddenly, Murong Jie froze, and the mural on one of the walls made Murong Jie feel a sense of déjà vu, he felt that he seemed to be somewhere, and he had seen the same or similar murals, but for a while Murong Jie couldn't remember where he had seen it.
Murong Jie was puzzled, he was busy looking at the backyard behind the house, and at this moment Murong Jie seemed to understand everything.
