Chapter 262 is out of Shangshan and returns to the Ghost Valley for completeness

Mystery, the word has a place in any culture.

Mystical culture can be said to be a kind of anthropomorphism of the culture of gods and ghosts, perhaps human beings feel that gods and ghosts are too far away, hoping to find a human representative with divinity in the world, so the mysterious culture appeared.

The mysterious culture is characterized by traces to follow and no evidence to prove, and there are clues in the official history or wild history, and then it is added to the vinegar or pieced together by later generations, and it is deified over time.

In the mysterious culture of China, there is a history that can be checked, and it should be officially popularized and spread from the Yin and Yang family, and finally unified and summarized by Taoism, and written and passed on.

Taoists define the representative of mystical culture as a hermit.

It can correspond to Western religious missionaries, these people use their personal knowledge and the identity of the forces behind them to join the WTO when they are young to serve a certain political force, and want to use the power of political forces to spread their own ideas, and they are all able to make certain achievements and have a certain impact on the political situation at that time, but then they find that it may not be suitable to enter the WTO to spread their ideas, and then resign and go into hiding, and devote themselves to studying knowledge and writing books.

The most famous Chinese hermit is the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and they are the representatives of the hermits.

However, when it comes to the originator of the hermit, it can be traced back to Xu You in the Yao Shun period, Emperor Yao heard about Xu You's virtuous name at that time, and wanted to pass on the throne to him, but Xu You absolutely this is an insult to him.

Later, in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Liezi, Zhuang Zhou, Guiguzi, whose identity is unknown, and Shangshan Sihao in the late Qin and early Han dynasties, were all famous hermits in ancient times.

The characteristics of these people are that they all seem to have the power to govern the country in peace, but they are all unwilling to go out of the mountains for unknown reasons, and only books are handed down to the hermit power.

But there are also some hermits who have left their names in the history books, and they have participated in many major events in history, and almost all of them are major events that have changed history, but there are not many records, which makes people very confused.

For example, in the Warring States Qin and Han dynasties, there is no record of it, but it was praised as the Guiguzi of Su Qin, Zhang Yi, Sun Bin, Pang Juan, Shang Ying and others.

proposed to Xin Lingjun to steal the talisman to save Zhao, and provided the mysterious gatekeeper Hou Huan of the executor.

In the historical records, he passed by Liu Bang's house and told Liu Bang that their family would produce a mysterious old gentleman of the emperor.

When Xiang Yu was at the end of his rope, he pointed out a dead end to Xiang Yu's father.

Huang Shigong, who passed on Zhang Liangbing's book.

These people belong to the most representative figures of Chinese mystical culture.

And Wei Yu also belongs to one of these hermit representatives.

Qin Shi Huang chose to take the road of unifying China instead of the road of the Spring and Autumn overlords, and Wei Yu played a key role.

Although King Qin Zhaoxiang destroyed the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and moved Jiuding to Xianyang, he still hoped to be recognized by the other six vassal states as his overlord, so after the victory of King Qin Zhaoxiang in the Battle of Changping, he did not choose to destroy the country, but accepted the reconciliation of the Zhao State.

Because at this time, the rule of the Warring States was still to inherit the Zhou Dynasty's feudal system, on the basis of recognizing the status of the overlord's Son of Heaven, and did not think of annexing other vassal states and dominating the world.

It's not that the Qin State didn't want to at that time, but the Qin State didn't have that ability at that time, so it still needed to continue to follow the rules.

Especially after Fan Ju resigned, Qin State fell into an awkward position, because the national strength had been almost consumed before.

Until Qin Shi Huang ascended the throne, Qin State has accumulated strength after nearly 30 years of recuperation, but because Qin Shi Huang was young, Lü Buwei and Mrs. Huayang fought for power, which led to internal problems in Qin State.

At this time, Wei Yu entered Qin.

The specific year of Wei Yu's entry into Qin should be between the first year of Qin nn and the tenth year of Qin NN, because he and Li Si were the first important officials to be reused after Qin Shi Huang officially took power, and even for Wei Yu, the position of Guo Wei, which was originally only responsible for leading the forbidden army of the palace, was raised to a higher position than the general.

The appearance of Wei Yi basically laid the foundation for all foreign strategies after Qin Shi Huang first ascended the throne, the most important of which was a series of espionage activities carried out by Wei Yi against the other six countries, which laid a solid foundation for the unification of Qin.

Wei Yi and another official named Dun Weak at that time were ten thousand gold, so that they traveled east to Han and Wei, and entered their generals to the north to visit Yan and Zhao, and killed Li Mu. The king of Qi entered the dynasty, and the four kingdoms obeyed.

Moreover, Qin Shi Huang was obedient to Wei Mi, never objected, and rewarded him with great favors, allowing Wei Mi to enjoy the same clothes and food as himself, and always behaved very humble every time he saw him.

The same is true for Dun Weak, who saw that Qin Shi Huang could not bow down, and could even refuse Qin Shi Huang's request, but in the end, Qin Shi Huang still entrusted him with a heavy responsibility.

But no matter whether Wei Yu is weak or weak, it is not recorded in the history books.

If it weren't for the discovery of a number of remnants of Wei Yi Zi in a batch of bamboo slips unearthed from the Han Tomb in Yinque Mountain, Linyi, Shandong, the deeds of Wei Yi might also be defined as a forgery.

Such a genius as Wei Yi is tantamount to Jiang Shang's role in King Wu of Zhou for Qin Shi Huang, but in the end he chose to retreat to the mountains and forests, and there is a saying that the soldier immortal Han Xin worshiped under Wei Yu before he left the mountain, which also added a special sense of mystery to Wei Yu's identity.

This is the curiosity of later generations about a historical figure.

But as a person in the world, even Tu Tan, a disciple of Wei Yi, is also full of curiosity about Wei Yi.

Tu Tan was not born in Qin, he was really born in a small town in Yanguo in Liaodong, and was accepted as a disciple by Wei Yi when he was a year, and under the training of Wei Yi with dozens of other brothers and sisters, he finally became Qingluanwei, the henchman of King Yingzheng of Qin, and finally was installed as a prince of Tu He, and was sent to Liaodong as a spy of Yan to monitor the movements of Yan State.

But for so many years, in addition to being able to confirm that Wei Yu was not from Qin, Tu Tan didn't know anything about Wei Yu's true identity, and even his name should be fake, the only thing that can be found from Qingluanwei's information is that Wei Yu entered Qin from Wei State, and finally became King Qin's confidant.

But after Tu Tan became Qingluanwei, he found that Qingluanwei should be an institution that has been handed down from ancient times in Qin and serves the king of Qin, not something that an outsider can control, so what does Wei Yu have to do with Qin has always been Tu Tan's biggest doubt.

It wasn't until he met Wang Xu and got to know Yin Shang in depth again, that after hearing that Yin Shang had a fourfold division of Chifeng, Qingluan, Gulli, and Cormorant, Tu Tan began to suspect that Wei Yi's true identity might not be a Qin person, but a Yin merchant!

And the so-called Qingluanwei of the Qin royal family's personal guard is very likely not an institution controlled by the Qin royal family, if the Qin royal family really completely trusts Qingluanwei, it is impossible for Qin Wang Yingzheng to set up a separate Red Dog Guard later, specifically to disgust Qingluanwei.

Therefore, Tu Tan knew that Wei Yi must have a special identity, and this identity, as his most proud disciple, should also be inherited.

Facing Tu Tan's question, Wei Yi was not surprised, but just looked at Jing Ke on the side, and said with a smile, "For so many years, you have been tracking down your master's identity, have you gained anything?" ”

"I got some information from Mr. Kinoshita." Jing Ke smiled slightly, "But I care more, whether the master is dead or not." ”

"Dead." A trace of regret flashed across the old man's face.

"Death because of me?" Jing Ke's eyes darkened, and there was a smile on his face.

"Sort of, if he doesn't die, you should be the one who dies." Wei Yi looked at Jing Ke and sighed lightly, "Originally, I promised to be weak and let him be in this generation, but I am unwilling, so I should take it as the old man and break his promise, and then confess to him after death." ”

"It seems that this secret has something to do with me." Jing Ke grinned when he heard this.

Tu Tan frowned.

"The old man will introduce you first, who are you." Wei Yi looked at Jing Ke and Tu Tan and said in a deep voice, "The two of you are not Wei people, nor Yan people, you are all Yin merchants, Yin Shang lineage, Ren Huan, your ancestor Zhong Yu, Ren surname, Shang Shi is Shang Tang Zuoxiang, Tu Sui, Zi surname, Tu He, your ancestor is Shang Tang Gongzi, the fief is north of Guzhu, and Tu He is named after Tu He. ”

Jing Ke and Tu Tan's faces changed slightly, but they didn't seem to be too surprised.

"After our Yin Shang was destroyed by Zhou, our thirteen clans of Yin Shang failed to restore the country because of the rebellion of the three eunuchs, and were divided into six clans and seven sects, of which six clans were the Tiao clan, the Xu clan, the Xiao clan, the Suo clan, the Long Spoon clan, and the tail spoon clan were moved to the Lu State for supervision, and the seven clans were Tao, Shi, Fan, Zhu, Fan, Hunger, and Zhongkui were exiled to Siyi and scattered into the countries, but the fire was not extinguished, although Wei Ziqi was a thief of Shang, but after all, he was still a Yin businessman, and he also saw the face of the Zhou Dynasty, so the descendants of the thirteen clans of Yin Shang were quietly closed, Placed in the Patriotic Nation. Yu Yu said slowly, "Emperor Wu Geng once made an imperial decree before his death, Xuanniao will not fall for nine hundred years, and Yin Shang will continue to wish for ten thousand years." ”

Jing Ke frowned slightly, "What do you mean?" Nine hundred years after the demise of business? The remnants of Yin Shang have been looking for an opportunity to return to China? ”

"Nine hundred years?" Tu Tan muttered softly, and raised his head in shock, "Is it this year?" Could it be that Daqin is fulfilling the wish of Yin Shang to restore the country? ”

Wei Yu glanced at the two of them and chuckled, "If that's the case, why did the old man flee here?" ”

"The Qin people have rebelled." Jing Ke raised his eyebrows slightly, and then grinned, "But if it were me, I wouldn't be willing to give away my ninety-hundred years of hard work, even if it was the lord of the old country, it wouldn't work." ”

"But if there was no homeland, the Qin people would have been wiped out by the dogs a long time ago." Wei Yi shook his head and said, "Evil came to die in the war, Fei Lian fled to the land of the west, was frightened by a sarcophagus of King Wu of Zhou and did not dare to enter the Central Plains again, and survived in the land of the west, after his death his son Ji Sheng took refuge in the Zhou Dynasty, and the fifth grandson made his father because of his meritorious service in saving King Zhou Miao, and was sealed in Zhao for the surname Zhao, and the Qin people also took refuge in the Zhao family for the surname Ying, until the son of Fei made his fortune, and was sealed back to the ancestral land of Qin by Zhou, the Qin people were still harassed by the dog Rong, and almost destroyed the country. ”

"So, the thirteen clans of Yin Shang decided to use the Zhao State and the Qin State to restore the country?" Jing Ke frowned and asked, "But these two countries don't seem to have risen in the early days, the Qin State has been in the western region of Anxi for five hundred years, and the Zhao State has been destroyed for a time." ”

"How can it be so easy to restore the country, although the Zhou thief has no strength, but in terms of conspiracy and trickery, there is indeed a set, the ancestors of Yin Shang summed up why the Zhou thief was able to usurp the throne successfully, that is, the Zhou thief is good at conspiracy, division, assimilation, separation, checks and balances, these things are the weakness of our Yin Shang, we Yin Shang advocate strength, disdain to play conspiracy and tricks, I didn't expect to suffer in the end." Wei Yi shook his head, "But to fight against the conspiracy, you can only use Yang Mou, and Yin Shang has lost the ability of Yang Mou, so he can only take his time, anyway, there are nine hundred years." ”

"So in the past nine hundred years, the remnants of Yin Shang have all competed with the Zhou people?" Jing Ke frowned: "These nine hundred years of turmoil are all manipulated by the remnants of Yin Shang behind the scenes?" ”

"It's a bit too much, but it's pretty much the same." Wei Yi's smile was a little strange, "But the opponent gradually changed from Zhou people to other people." ”

"Among the remnants of Yin Shang, there is also a division." Tu Tan frowned and said, "Qin, Zhao, Song, Zheng, Lu, Wei, and Chu, these are all forces supported by the remnants of the early Yin Shang." ”

Wei Yi looked at Tu Tan with relief in his eyes, "It's not a loss to the apprentice I taught." ”

Tu Tan pursed his lips, "So, who is your opponent?" ”

"There are many opponents of the old man." Wei Yi smiled, "Fan Ju, Wei Ran, Huang Xie, Song Yu, Mao Sui, Su Li, and Don Weak." ”

"Why?" Jing Ke frowned and asked.

"To each his own master, are you stupid?" Tu Tan glanced at Jing Ke suspiciously.

Jing Ke glanced at Tu Tan, "You're stupid." ”

Tu Tan was stunned.

Wei Yu looked at Jing Ke again and nodded, "In terms of vision, pattern, and character, the old man has indeed lost a little, and you have completely inherited your master's upright character." ”

"I have been taught by my father since I was a child, masculine and self-denying, and worthy of my heart." Jing Ke said with a smile.

"Although we are good at conspiracy, we must also keep our hearts." Wei Yi looked at Tu Tan with a confused face, "You only see the short-term benefits, you don't see the long-term plan, in the final analysis, we are Yin businessmen." ”

Tu Tan's brows were tightly locked, and his already somewhat weak face became more and more pale.

"Although we are rivals, we are all for Yin Shang." Although Wei Yixiao was a little helpless, he was still frank, "The difference was first based on the proverbs of Emperor Wu Geng, some people think that nine hundred years is just an imaginary number, some people think that it should be counted from the collapse of Emperor Xin, and some people think that it should be counted from the collapse of Emperor Wu Geng, so there are three factions." ”

"What kind of faction is Shizun?" Tu Tan asked.

"Let's count from the collapse of Emperor Wu Geng, that is, four years later, there will be Emperor Yin Shang in the world, and then it will be the time when Qin collapses and recovers." Wei Yi smiled meaningfully.

"Then my master is the faction that began with the collapse of Emperor Xin?" Jing Ke frowned slightly, "So my master thinks that Daqin is also a Xuanniao." ”

"That's what he thinks." Wei Yu nodded, "So he's dead." ”

"King Qin can't tolerate him?" Jing Ke's eyes flashed with coldness.

"It may be that he found out that he was wrong, but the more important reason is you." Wei Yu smiled, "You were sent to Yan Kingdom to carry out a mission, and your master hesitated, did you really want to kill King Qin." ”

Jing Ke's body stiffened and frowned.

"If Zhao Zheng dies, Mr. Baijia who will be implicated in the future will not die." Wei Yu sighed again, "However, you will die. ”

"Your master used tens of thousands of lives from hundreds of families to exchange you for one person." Tu Tan looked at Jing Ke with a gloomy face with some envy.

"Hehe, stinky boy, don't look forward to it, if it were me, I wouldn't choose you." Wei Yu grinned and quipped.

"I know, after all, I'm not the most satisfied student of Shizun." Tu Tan also grinned.

"Your master has a last word for you, but it is not for me to convey it." Wei Yi smiled and said to Jing Ke.

Jing Ke slowly raised his head, his expression was like ice, "Please sir, for advice." ”

"Remember, where you killed Lu Buwei back then?" Wei Yu laughed.

Jing Ke's pupils shrank, his eyes looked out of the window, and he said in a deep voice, "It's in this Shang Mountain!" ”

"Do you know why this mountain is called Shang Mountain?" Wei asked with a smile.

"Named after the fief of the Shang family." Jing Ke frowned.

"The heirs of Yin Shang, vertical and horizontal, go out of Shangshan and return to the Ghost Valley." The voice of the elder Wei was like the words of the ancestors, which exploded in the ears of Jing Ke and Tu Tan.
