Chapter I

"Xiucai, now... What should I do? ”

β€œβ€¦ I can't help it. ”

Yun Chongbo's earth-shattering slash was simply an attack without any preset target, and after a wave of sword light, the surrounding environment became chaotic, and even the sky was pierced with hundreds of small holes like cups, reflecting the palpitating darkness behind him.

It should be said that this was Yan Hui's plan, proficient in easy counting, and with Meng Di's personal guidance, he had already found a way out of here, in the calculation, after bombarding seventeen special points in a row like this, the power to maintain this place would be shaken, and the tunnel between "here" and "real" would be able to be opened, allowing people to enter and exit.

The strong and incoherent sword qi destroyed fourteen of the seventeen points selected by Yan Hui in one wave, although it didn't come in order, but it didn't matter, but the bad thing was that after sending a move, Yun Chongbo seemed to have lost his strength, his whole body was soft, and it was difficult to even stand, let alone continue to shoot.

(Is that all the difference?) οΌ‰

I knew that one more move would open the way to life, but I couldn't do anything, and I saw behind me, everything that was once familiar was collapsing rapidly, and it seemed that there was a huge mouth, swallowing everything into a lifeless gray.

(Mr. obviously hasn't controlled the situation yet, the collapse is getting worse...) οΌ‰

Trying his best to calm his mind, Yan Hui hoped to regain some strength as soon as possible, although he knew that it was useless, he refused to give up.

But suddenly, there was a strong vibration, from outside the sky!

The first wave of shaking caused the entire sky to tremble violently, and the ground rose and fell like a wave.

(This...) There are very strong masters outside, who are attacking the protective wall of the Peach Blossom Source with all their might, but it is almost impossible to accurately locate the Peach Blossom Source from the outside, and it seems that there is no targeted point attack... Who is it? οΌ‰

The development of the matter quickly proved Yan Hui's speculation, the force of the attack was indeed powerful, but it could not tear open the sky that was already full of holes, and after attacking for a certain period of time, it began to fall silent significantly.

(It doesn't matter, it's just gathering momentum, the strongest blow, it's coming soon...) οΌ‰

Although he couldn't see the outside, Yan Hui could accurately judge from some clues, believing that the blow below must be a shock, he looked around, hoping to find a safer place, but at a glance he saw Yun Chongbo, and he was shocked.

Yun Chongbo, like Yan Hui, was attracted by this attack from the outside, and like Yan Hui, he was also moving slowly, moving to a specific position, and unlike Yan Hui, what he moved was exactly the position where Yan Hui estimated that the strongest blow would appear!

(Was it unintentional, or was it a calculated judgment?) If it's the latter... οΌ‰

Surprised by Yun Chongbo's actions, Yan Hui wanted to take him out of danger as soon as possible, but after observing the strangeness of the sky, he dismissed his idea.

(At this distance, it's too late...) And he probably doesn't want to be disturbed, right? οΌ‰

At this time, the sky was full of holes, and the dark cold wind screamed from the wounds, blowing away everything that was not strong enough, leaving only an empty and cold clearing, among which were the clouds rushing to the sky with their heads raised.

It may seem strange to say, but now, Yun Chongbo's feeling of what is happening on that side is even clearer and more detailed than Yan Hui's, it is this feeling that makes him move to this position almost unconsciously, and it is also this feeling that makes him who is already exhausted have new strength, and slowly raises his hands, crosses them, and blocks them in front of his chest.

In the haze, he seemed to see that there was an unrecognizable Taoist, holding a simple and huge knife mirror, standing in the clouds, pressing down on himself, the image was so clear, so real, and it was so heavy that he couldn't even breathe, and Yun Chongbo had a very strange feeling, that blow seemed to have been issued, and he had already taken it.

… So, how did you take it?

The changes cracked more and more, and multiple milky white bright spots appeared in the sky at the same time, gradually getting larger, and it was clear that they were eight seal characters wrapped in white light.

Resentment, gratitude, taking, and, admonishment, teaching, life, and killing. The eight seal characters that rotate rapidly seem to contain some special power, easily destroying everything around them, and combining them into something like a formation, exuding a strange control power, and beginning to affect the surrounding environment.

Then, the knife!

It seemed that the shadow of a sword that was larger than the entire mountain peak appeared in the cluster of eight characters, tearing the entire sky in half, and this time, behind the shattering, it was no longer dark and cold, but sunlight appeared, and a new sky appeared.

Such a scene shows that the barrier has been successfully destroyed, and the three people who have been isolated here can return to the real world, but Yan Hui's expression did not relax at all, because the knife did not mean to slow down at all, but instead, with a faster and stronger momentum, it rushed towards the clouds and slashed hard!

Driven by the shadow of the knife, Yun Chongbo's clothes all over his body were hunting, and soon mixed with another sound, a chain of popping bean-like sounds.

… The voice came from within him, from every acupoint of his acupuncture, from every meridian.

β€œβ€¦ Tyre! ”

A roar of thunder came from Yun Chongbo's mouth, and at the same time, he pushed his hands with all his might, and immediately saw that a huge knife shape with a length of more than 100 feet was forced from his body, and it was a huge sea.

Knife shape, knife shadow, two knives collided, setting off a series of loud noises, and there were huge air waves, rampage, rolling up a few people's high dust, in it, nothing can be seen clearly, nothing can be heard clearly, Yun Chongbo can only concentrate on every bit of energy to strain, fortunately, until the wind and sand gradually subsided, there was no new attack.

When the wind and sand calmed down, what he saw was a clear blue sky, a steep mountain, a clear and turbulent stream... and, a man who seems to be smiling but not smiling, empty-handed.

Beside the man, there was another man lying on the ground, his body was red, and judging from his posture, he looked like a dead man more than a living man. The man didn't even look at the person beside him, he just stretched out his hand to Yun Chongbo: "Welcome... Back to the real world. ”

In response, Yun Chongbo shook his head slightly, and then... He fell down and hung the man's hand aside.

"Hehehe, what a funny boy..."

Smiling softly, the man had no resentment, Yun Chongbo was exhausted to the extreme, and he could see it clearly. With a movement of his wrist, he withdrew his right hand, clenched his fists and said, "It's been a long time, Xiucai." ”

In response, Yan Hui bowed his hand and said with a smile: "Can the king always be rich?" How did you come here? After a pause, Fang Wenyan said: "Mr. Liu has always been very good, and he doesn't worry about it." ”

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Yan Hui and the others successfully escaped, leaving the Peach Blossom Paradise behind, and at this moment, the place that was once like a fairyland on earth has become as terrifying as a ghost realm. More than ninety percent of the skeletons running were shattered, still blindly clashing with each other, and the houses and fields were long gone, only large and small black whirlwinds, intertwined, colliding, and whistling like ghosts crying.

In the chaos, Meng Di sat cross-legged with a calm expression.

Yan Hui's intention to leave, he had a clear perception, and he just smiled gently. He didn't want to unravel that misunderstanding, he missed it at all... It was something he had left into this world, and he felt good that there were traces of this.

(Walking against the sky, prolonging life for thousands of years, perhaps, just to meet you again, Yan Hui... οΌ‰

Closing his eyes slightly, Meng Di let his life, which was close to four thousand years, slowly flow back in front of him. Despite thousands of years apart, there are some images, but they are still so vivid, so clear.

"Sir is wonderful, but he is only one person, and after all, he can't lift all the people and leave the quagmire together. Small countries and widows, chickens and dogs smell each other, old and dead do not get along... It was a beautiful dream, but it was destined to be shattered. ”

It was the first time that Meng Di doubted his theory in the face of the young Confucian who was talking eloquently, but in the end, he still insisted on himself, and only communicated with the man the art of Xinzhai that he had mastered.

(If I knew that you were going to apply it like that, Yan Hui, I would never teach it to you...) οΌ‰

Even the memories made Meng Di's body tremble slightly, and he couldn't forget what kind of sadness he had felt at the beginning, a kind of sadness that he thought he would never feel.

(You can puff up the pot and laugh at the grave, but that kind of open-mindedness is not at all less than real sadness...) οΌ‰

Perhaps, after that, all these thousands of years of hard work are for that moment of sadness?

Because I can no longer convince my opponent with words, I am determined to prove myself right with facts... Is it for this reason that I have consumed this immortal life here for thousands of years?

I used to think that this was not the case, but when I met the person named "Yan Hui" again, when the latest failure appeared in front of him, I would be so angry... and feeling frustrated.

… For thousands of years, after seeing the destruction and reconstruction of this village hundreds of times, Meng Di, he no longer knew what sadness and excitement were.

(It's over, it's time to end...) That's good... What is fake is always fake, and what is going to die is always going to die... That's the end of it, it's good... οΌ‰

Gently clasping his hands, Meng Di patted slowly, singing an ancient and slow ballad, with this, those whirlwinds swept the skeletons and began to gather towards him, being sucked in by his hands one by one, each whirlwind swept over, and there was a black flame rising in his hand, just one moment, everything was burned out, and there was no trace left.

(Forgive me, young man, I taught you what I could, but didn't give you what I could...) Even with 4,000 years of experience, I can't decide whether or not to allow this almost terrifying thing to return to the world... οΌ‰

Thinking silently, Meng Di's body gradually withered, as if it was burning with the black fire. It wasn't until everything around him was burned up, until the world outside of him had turned into a monotonous dead gray that he slowly opened his eyes and glanced left and right.

(One last look...) Well, get rid of that thing too... οΌ‰

With a little forceful clapping, nothing happened, and with an unexpected look on his face, Meng Di quickly noticed what had happened, and showed a dumb smile.

(Is that so?) … This, or maybe it's providence... οΌ‰

The last high-five, the applause was clear, and the black flames also spewed out at the same time, burning everything, including... Meng Di himself.

… In the end, only a gray void remains.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"That is to say, you made an appointment with someone to collect stolen goods here, but you were stabbed out by Brother Yun and killed that person on the spot, you mistakenly thought that someone was plotting, so you instinctively fought back... And just like that, rescued us? ”

Scratching the back of his head, the man looked displeased and said, "What is the collection of stolen goods, this is business... Listening to your tone, are you ready to accept my affection? ”

With a smile, Yan replied, "Your strength has improved again... Now you may be stronger than Zilu. ”

"Zilu..."

With strong disdain, the man said: "His sword was indeed strong, but now, it can only be used to cut cooked meat into squares..."

Yan replied to the letter and took it, opened it while saying with a smile: "Something that has no interest, are you afraid of overnight debts..." The words are also very general, not only scattered, even the gods are scattered, like this thing, by the way, there are dozens or hundreds of books in a scholarly family... This kind of goods is also worthy of the thief king to receive the stolen goods himself? ”

The man said angrily: "It's all said it's business...", and said in frustration: "Isn't it really valuable?" ”

It turned out that the man was really preparing to do a big business here today, and someone passed through a very high-level informant that he had a superb product in his hand, hoping to exchange it for a good price by stealing the king.

"He also specifically emphasized that it is the best that no one dares to pick up randomly, otherwise, there is no need to go through many ways, it is easy to find me..."

When he said this, the man's eyes suddenly revealed a glimmer of hope, and he said urgently: "By the way, if you take a closer look, will there be any other hidden clues, the man clearly said that there are secret notes in it, and there is a treasure map..."

Yan Hui said: "Say, go on, there is a treasure map in it, and there are peerless treasures... Why don't you say it? He rolled up his hand and said, "You are also a thief king?" The six doors are really impotently tight..."Suddenly he saved a thing, unfolded it and looked at it carefully, frowned and said: "Hey, if you say so, this writer also knows some boxing techniques, stroke by stroke, and it is indeed a secret boxing technique..." ”

If others say this, the man may still be suspicious, but he knows that Yan Hui is a well-known gentleman in the world, and he is also a person in the calligraphy, there is no reason to look away, and he will never deliberately deceive, so he said categorically: "That's fine, thank you." Saying that, he turned around and left, but Yan Hui was stunned, and said, "Hey, you're leaving, what should I do with this thing?" ”

The man didn't look back, and said: "The Chinese man is dead, I don't know who the owner of this thing is, and I haven't gone back yet, so I'll give it to you..."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"So, what do you remember to do now?"

According to Yan Hui's instructions, Yun Chongbo used several consecutive punches extremely beautifully, and ended with a jumping back kick, which made Yan Hui nod his head in satisfaction.

"Well, indeed, that's fine..."

It was the sixth day after coming out of the Peach Blossom Spring, but the three of them were still stranded in the deep mountains of Qingzhou, I don't know what kind of consideration, Yan Hui actually said that he wanted to pass on some entry-level boxing techniques to boil up the body and exercise the muscles and bones.

"Of course, the Thirteen Classics can't be passed on to you, but can only teach you to learn, then, it's the three-character scripture, the hundred family names, and the thousand-character text... Or, kindergarten Qionglin? ”

Dissatisfied with these answers, Yan Hui finally taught, is called "disciple rules" boxing method, said to be Mengxue, the total number of nearly 100 moves, fortunately Yun Chongbo has a very good memory, and Yan Hui this master guidance, a few days down, has basically remembered, mastery of the situation also made Yan Hui quite satisfied, more pointed out to him a set of boxing techniques, and accompanied by a gift.

"Why are you giving me this?"

"Who won't give it to you? You stole it yourself. ”

"Me, when did I grab something... Are you mistaken? ”

"I have even seen the bitter master, is there anything wrong?"

couldn't help but say, Yan Hui stuffed the shaft cursive script to Yun Chongbo, and according to his own understanding, slowly explained the boxing intent contained in it to him, it was a very simple boxing method, and the last few changes were missing, but it was just right for Yun Chongbo, and he soon became familiar with it, but he never understood when he grabbed this shaft thing?

Six or seven days passed in a blink of an eye, and on this day, Yan Hui ordered Yun Chongbo to practice the two-way boxing technique from beginning to end, and he was very satisfied, and beckoned him to sit beside him--hesitated for a while--stood up again, paced a few steps behind his back, and said slowly: "You, you're the 'immortal', right?" ”

The word "immortal", Yun Chongbo can be said to have a headache when he hears it, just because he always feels that although he is an "immortal", he doesn't know anything, but he meets someone casually, and he seems to know more than himself, so he doesn't think it's a great secret, plus he gets along with Yan Hui these days, he feels that he is really a very reliable person, and he said without hesitation: "Yes... Do you have anything to tell me? ”

"Anything to tell you?"

Dumbfounded, Yan replied: "That's right, I do have something to say." Thinking about it, he said, "I... I am Yan Hui, does this name mean anything to you? ”

The word "Yan Hui", Yun Chongbo has long known it these days, and he recalled Yuqing's words at the beginning, knowing that this son is a rookie in Confucianism, with a very high status, and often has some "Oh, it's really worthy of the name" thoughts, and now when he asked, he said loudly: "I know... You're a big man in Confucianism, right? ”

In fact, in terms of age, the two are really the same, but in the past few days, Yan Hui is completely teaching, and Yun Chongbo has no sense of discomfort.

With a wry smile again, he said with a straight face: "You... What a strange undead... No, perhaps the strangest immortal since records began..."

Fang Dao: "Knowing that I am Yan Hui and an important figure in Confucianism, you should kill me, because you are an immortal, because, if you don't kill me, I have to kill you." ”

His words were very slow, but very serious, which made Yun Chongbo give a cold war, and said with a forced smile: "Xiucai... You, you're kidding, right? ”

"Just kidding..."

Instead of smiling, Yan Hui slowly repeated Yun Chongbo's words, "It's very likely... If you think so, you... Just keep thinking I'm joking! ”

"Xiucai, you!?"

In Yun Chongbo's frightened scream, the pure sword qi suddenly burst out from Yan Hui's ten fingers, and at close range, Yun Chongbo couldn't react at all, and his entire body was pierced!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Remember? The world is very real, and if you are so gullible, you will probably die in a daze one day. ”

"But, after all, you still didn't hurt me."

Suddenly, Yan Hui didn't hurt Yun Chongbo at all, the so-called ten body piercing sword qi was actually just for him to cleanse the turbidity qi that still existed in his body, which made him feel great.

"Is it useless to say anything? It's really a straight person who can't pull it back..."

With a wry smile, Yan replied, "That's up to you... I just hope that things don't turn out to the point where I have to use this trust to assassinate you..."

His tone was heavy, and Yun Chongbo was also a little depressed, and said in a daze: "Why, when you mention it, it's dead and alive... I'm an immortal, so I really have to be hunted down by you? ”

Yan Hui nodded, but shook his head again and said, "Maybe not, because, you are really a very strange immortal..."

(An immortal who has passed through the hands of the main characters surnamed Qiu Wang Ao and can still protect the leader, Brother Yun, you are not unprecedented, and you are probably the last... οΌ‰

After thinking about it for a while, Yan Huiyi sat down and said, "Brother Yun, you sit too, I have something to say to you." Seeing Yun Chongbo sitting down, he said: "There are some things that you may not understand, and there are some things that you probably don't know, now, I will talk about some things in the past with you." ”

"Then, you may be able to understand why I said that you should have killed me..."

… With Yan Hui's narration, Yun Chongbo began to see another angle of history.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Immortal, although you yourself always think of yourself as the savior, in our eyes, you are the real destroyer."

In the past history, the figures of the undead have appeared again and again, both true and false, but the common denominator is that every time the undead appear, it will always be accompanied by chaos and fighting... Even bloodshed, a lot of bloodshed.

"The appearance of the undead means war, and it means that many people will throw themselves into the inevitable destruction at all costs... It means that resources and opportunities are wasted. ”

Yun Chongbo felt very unconvinced by such accusations, as far as he knew, Taiping Dao had indeed set off wars again and again, but the reason was not because of the mistake of the emperor's surname in governing the world, so that the people could not bear it, so they would respond to Taiping Dao and rise up to kill officials and rebel?

"Such accusations... We really can't avoid it, but, Brother Yun, have you ever thought about what the world will be like if Taiping Dao wins? ”

In a very low and serious voice, Yan Hui told Yun Chongbo that in the history of the four thousand, the Taiping Dao had not achieved some phased victories, and more than once, they had achieved very considerable victories in some local areas, especially when the ruling power of the imperial capital was weakened, and this victory might even last for decades.

"The land of the sky, the hot and cold world, the pure land of Maitreya... Under different names, at most of them, they were even able to occupy a state, set up officials to collect taxes, open departments and scholars, and carry out a long-term confrontation. ”

However, such a confrontation will not last long, usually only one generation, and the local government in Taiping Dao will collapse and go underground again.

"Ahh Why is that? ”

Knowing very little about the history of Taiping Dao, Yun Chongbo listened to it with relish and was puzzled, in his imagination, the country built with such enthusiasm and faith, if not for thousands of generations, should not die in one lifetime.

"Why..."

Sighing softly, Yan Hui smiled: "That's really a good question. First, though, I also want to ask you a question. ”

"Brother Yun, in your mind, the emperor... What is it? ”

A simple question, but Yun Chongbo was stunned.

Emperor... What is it?

There is a standard answer to this question: the emperor, the son of heaven, the supreme, the whole world is its land, and the shores of the land are its ministers... However, this is not the answer that Yun Chongbo wants to say.

"The emperor should be a very strong person, with so much power, he can do whatever he wants..."

With a little hesitation, Yun Chongbo slowly said his thoughts, Yan Hui listened quietly, occasionally showing some smiles, but many times, he listened carefully, and frowned slightly.

"That is, in your mind, the emperor is not very worthy of our obedience, and he is equally likely to make mistakes... Well, that's good. ”

After listening to Yun Chongbo's words, Yan Hui nodded slowly and said, "So, Brother Yun Chongbo, do you know that in my heart... No, it should be said that in the hearts of the Confucian high-level in the past dynasties, what is the emperor? ”

I didn't understand what Yan Hui meant, but there was a faint feeling that was very strange, Yun Chongbo couldn't help but hold his breath, ready to hear something very shocking.

… Yan Hui did not disappoint him.

β€œβ€¦ We have always believed that the emperor is the greatest harm in the world. ”

"Slaughter the liver and brain of the world, the children of the world, serve this * one person, if you are happy, you will pay taxes and reward you, and if you are angry, you will be loyal and good, and you will be quick to take the world as your private business, and regard the hundred bureaucrats as lackeys, and you will be stupid and stupid, and you will follow the unification,... What a son of heaven, what a real dragon, it's just a trick of the fools. ”

The voice was gentle, but it was as shocking as the explosion of hundreds of firecrackers in Yun Chongbo's brain, which made him stammer a little when he spoke, and said, "You, you... But... You, obviously..."

The more anxious he was, the more he couldn't say clearly, but Yan Hui seemed to understand what he meant, and said indifferently: "I know, you mean to say that we... If we think so, why have we insisted on assisting the emperor for thousands of years? Help deify them and maintain the rule of the emperor? ”

Seeing Yun Chongbo nodding vigorously, Yan Hui smiled bitterly and said, "The lesser of two evils, although the emperor is evil, he also has its necessity." ”

"Because, it is better to recognize an emperor in the whole world than to have an emperor in every county, every county and every township."

……

Although the establishment of Confucianism has been awarded by the imperial court, "Confucianism" has appeared long before Emperor Xuanyuan and in the "Warring States" era that lasted for 800 years.

"At that time, there were also pioneers of the 'Tao', but they had not yet been born, let alone a religion, and they were like us, holding the theory of salvation, running around the world, lobbying and teaching."

What the two families have in common is that they believe that the troubled times should be ended as soon as possible, and that the biggest disaster in the world is that hundreds of countries stand side by side and attack each other.

"However, when it comes to concrete theories, there are big differences."

The ideology of Confucianism is to pursue "great unification", mix 10,000 states, and merge with the same text, so naturally there will be no more swords and soldiers facing each other. The Taoists, on the other hand, believe that the existing state should be divided and weakened again, and that it should be divided and weakened again into small countries and widows with less than 10,000 people, and that people should give up their desire for exchange and annexation through missions.

"Until now, we don't think that the Taoist theory is feasible, they underestimate people's desires, and they believe too much in people's wishes."

In accordance with their belief in salvation, the ancestors of Confucianism traveled far and wide, preaching the ancient past: it is said that at that time, the entire land of Bactria was ruled by a holy king, who successively created a splendid civilization and a prosperous society in the form of "Zen concession".

At the same time as lecturing, Confucianism is also tempering its own strength, just because in such a troubled world, those who have no fists and no courage cannot make any sound. In the process, they met the ancestors of the Ao family and resonated with the point of "unification".

"The idea of the Ao family is actually very simple, they attach great importance to bloodline, the concept of 'Xia people' is based on valuing specific lives, they are not afraid of fighting and bloodshed, and even believe that this can temper the real strong, but they are worried about the alien races in the four directions, and they are worried that the endless civil strife will make the Great Xia clan eventually become slaves of others."

In this way, the two families decided to work together to put an end to the troubled times.

"In the end, the ancestors chose the clan king of the Ji family and worked together to help him conquer the world, and in return, we hoped to be able to set the Confucian thought as Zhengshuo and promulgate the world. It can also make clear the argument of Xia Yi, don't change Xia with Yi. ”

The right choice, the head of the Ji family, that is, the later Emperor Xuanyuan is indeed a generation of Tianjiao, amazing talent, in his hands, the land of Great Xia, which has been divided and fought for 800 years, can be reunified, so that the world can be peaceful.

"However, if you look at it from another angle, it is difficult to say that this choice is the right one."

With the increase of power, Emperor Xuanyuan's self is also expanding day by day, in addition to rejecting everyone's advice to build the imperial capital, but also because of the suspicion of the loyalty of the old department, began to purge the founding heroes, single-handedly created the "Eight Kings Rebellion", and also forced the Qiu Ao family to retreat to protect themselves.

"Ironically, that kind of feminine and obscure wisdom was not originally Confucianism's strength, but it was learned in repeated debates with Taoists, but I didn't expect that this could become a guarantee for Confucianism to flourish for thousands of years."

Retreating to protect themselves, the ancestors of the Qiu Ao family watched coldly, waiting for things to change. At this time, Taoism also resurfaced and obtained Longhu Mountain and its corresponding status from Emperor Xuanyuan.

"However, at this time, the Daomen were very different from the original academic school with a heart of salvation, and retreated to a position of completely evading responsibility and only considering whether they could transcend and become immortals, and they shrank into a sect and began to rely on the incense of believers to maintain."

In this process, there are naturally disciples who are unwilling to give up with the original salvation idea, and they can't tolerate such atrophy and evasion, they begin to question the Order's proposition from the inside, and finally form an irreparable split.

"That's the origin of Taiping Dao."

opened his mouth, Yun Chongbo was ashamed: he was also an "important person" of Taiping Dao, but he only now knew the origin of Taiping Dao. He was very interested in this story, and wanted to ask more, but he didn't want to interrupt Yan Hui, and said in his heart: "Wait a minute, I'll ask again." ”

Silently waiting in exchange for a reward, Emperor Xuanyuan, who was pure and healthy, finally fell, and Emperor Gaoyang, who ruled the world gently, began to rule the world, and his policy of "resting with the people" benefited the whole world, and also enabled the Qiu Ao family to regain some status.

"However, the good times did not last long, and the one who succeeded Emperor Gaoyang was Emperor Shoude, who was a hundred times more terrible than Emperor Xuanyuan, and after 20 years of rule, he was able to ravage the world into a more tragic destruction than the 'Warring States'."

It was also from this period that Confucianism began to reflect and began to consider the negative role of "unification" and "emperor" with a very serious attitude.

"The conclusion of the assessment is that unity is better than division, and the emperor has its necessity, but there must be a mechanism to check and balance the emperor to prevent the recurrence of monsters like Emperor Shoude."

Taking advantage of the chaos after the fall of Emperor Shoude, the two families who had been prepared for a long time brought out the emperor's heart, revisited the whole day, and then returned to the center of power, and at the same time, they also reached a consensus.

"Since then, Wen Cheng Wude and the two kings of the protector of the country have begun to clarify their respective responsibilities, until today."

For 4,000 years, Qiu Ao has always followed the same pattern for two years: on the premise of loudly declaring that they would never covet the throne, the Qiu family controlled Confucianism, grasped the right to speak on "morality" and "norms", and restrained the emperor.

"The three outlines and five constants, the law of heaven and earth, have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and they are rules that the emperor cannot oppose, and if those who are the son of heaven insist on being unkind and unjust, not filial piety, they will also feel great pressure."

In this way, the Qiu family tried to put the reins on the evil dragon of the "emperor", so that he would no longer be able to ignore any laws and do evil, so that he would be taught from the beginning to fulfill his responsibilities and love the government and the people.

"At the same time, the Ao family shoulders the responsibility of guarding Great Xia."

The affairs were handed over to the Qiu family, and the Ao family was responsible for armaments, and they always maintained a strong force, and never intervened in the change of the emperor's surname, and the purpose of their existence was to prevent the elites of Middle-earth from losing in internal fighting, so as to be benefited by foreign races.

"As for the Langya Wang family, it was only later that they joined this game, and there have been several generations of talented family heads in a row, and they were able to see everything clearly through the heavy fog, and continuously adjusted the family policy, and finally successfully joined this rule."

At first, they were reluctant to accept the third "ally", but in the end, Qiu Ao and his family still accepted Langya's joining, and in return, they also shouted "Wufu is the emperor", and the Wang family, who was willing to live in the lower position, also got the semi-official title of "Xiaoshui Ren King", and began to enter the real high level of power.

"Of course, this is also because the Wang family has its value worthy of being accepted, firmly believing in 'moving with the times', they are very tolerant and flexible realists, with unparalleled ease, relying on their soft view of 'red flowers, green leaves and white lotus roots, the three religions are originally one', they have preserved a lot of things that orthodox Confucianism is unwilling to bear, and also helped resolve many contradictions that cannot be resolved by Confucianism alone, as far as the entire Daxia culture is concerned, it is really an indispensable complement."

Listening to the dazzling fascination, Yun Chongbo only felt that today's eyes were really open, and he couldn't help but secretly admire: "Xiucai is a talent in the end, and his knowledge is really better than Wenshuang..."

"It's a good thing to work hard to ensure the continuation of the Xia people's bloodline, and it's also your business to be willing to protect the emperor... But why do you have to be too peaceful with us? ”

What is not said, there is a higher level of questioning: if the "three kings of the inner court" all think that the emperor can be changed if he does not do well, then why can't he be replaced by a person from Taiping Dao, but he prefers to treat Taiping Dao as a foreign race, shouting and shouting and killing, and will not show any mercy.

"Is this..."

Smiling bitterly, Yan Hui seemed to be embarrassed by this question, and after thinking about it for a while, he said: "This is because, Taiping Dao, it is a religion, not a family. ”

Unable to understand what Yan Hui meant, Yun Chongbo frowned and said, "What's wrong with the sect, what's the difference with the family?" ”

After a pause, Yan replied: "The difference is not very big, but one point is enough." ”

"Family... It is maintained by blood relatives, and when the patriarch falls, there is usually a natural heir, which reduces the possibility of disputes compared to the sect. Although no family can hold the throne forever, at least for tens or hundreds of years, the battle can be confined to one family, and blood will only flow out of the imperial capital. ”

Such a negative is that there may be a young emperor or even a mentally retarded emperor, but it seems to be better than the prospect of having to "compete in the world" again every ten or twenty years.

"And, most importantly, one more thing."

"Taiping Dao, he is a religion, a religion that has entered the WTO."

Becoming more and more confused, Yun Chongbo shook his head and said, "I don't understand. ”

"What about being religious? Longhu Mountain, Lianyin Temple... Haven't they always had a good relationship with you? ”

Shaking his head lightly, Yan replied: "That's different,"

"They... It is the religion of birth. ”

Taoism pursues feathering and ascending to immortals, and Shimen only seeks bliss to become a Buddha, and the hopes of the two disciples have something in common, and they are not in the "present".

"Whether it is the pursuit of the 'future' or the pursuit of the 'outside of the sky', there is no threat to the 'present', so the emperors of the past dynasties can coexist peacefully with them, and even use them to calm the people's hearts and soothe the people."

The Taiping Dao is different, pursuing the "kingdom of heaven on earth", they are very resolute in carrying out "immediate" strikes at all those who stop them, and their attitude is resolute, not evading or compromising.

"But, this... It doesn't mean anything... I mean, the Taiping Dao is sometimes very tough, but their purpose is good, so that everyone can live a good life, and isn't it right to resist the people who suppress them? ”

"Them?"

glanced at Yun Chongbo sensitively, but Yan Hui didn't say much, only continued: "The purpose is good... Hey, but what would Taiping Dao look like if it won the world, have you thought about it, Brother Yun? ”

Yun Chongbo was stunned: "What does it look like?" ”

On this article, he didn't think about it seriously, because in his mind, he really didn't know much about Taiping Dao, or because of Xiao Wenshuang's sake, he was a little kind, and for the Taiping Haixi Yilin brothers... When he did what he knew in his dreams and Yuqing's young things, he had three more points of respect, and he didn't know anything else, he didn't even know anything about the rules of the Taiping Dao, let alone describe what it was all about. I only heard Yan reply: "For example, in this Qingzhou territory, Taiping Dao has also been divided for several generations, called the Little Heavenly Kingdom..." ”

Yan Hui heard his strange voice, and felt a little strange, looked at him and said, "What's wrong?" Yun Chongbo had calmed down at this time, shook his head, and said, "It's okay, you go on." ”

It turns out that Taiping Dao has also successfully established local governments several times in its history, and the Little Heavenly Kingdom is one of them. In its heyday, it once controlled the entire Qingzhou.

"At that time, they were really strong, and the imperial court crusaded several times, all of which were defeated, and for a while, the world shook."

However, the victory was extremely short-lived, and after only twenty or thirty years of confrontation, the Little Heavenly Kingdom quickly collapsed.

"There are many reasons for the failure, such as the emergence of excellent commanders in both civil and military affairs on the imperial court, locust plagues and plagues in the smelting land of the Little Heavenly Kingdom... But, the main thing, is not these reasons. ”

After hesitating for a while, Yan Hui said slowly: "The most important reason is depravity. ”

"The leader of the Little Heavenly Kingdom, the immortal of the Taiping Dao, actually behaved more 'outstanding' than the 'celebrities' such as Emperor Shoude, the palace was full of rooms, there were thousands of show women, and when they came out, they were full of gold and jade, and they ate a hundred gold, as if they said 'no hairpin', and there were general strengths. The original gathering of the wind and clouds, the walking, the death, the soldiers did not arrive, and the Tianjing was already in tatters! If it doesn't die, the sky won't tolerate it. ”

After a pause, Yan Hui thought that Yun Chongbo really didn't know about the old affairs of Taiping Dao, and added: "The so-called Tianjing is the name of your Taiping Dao for your own home capital, located there, there is Tianjing, as for the Tianjing I am talking about now, it is Jinguancheng, the capital of Qingzhou..."

On the other hand, he was stunned by Yun Chongbo, recalling a strange dream in front of Liupan Mountain, remembering those tears, those sacrifices, those struggles and dreams... I felt that my heart was sour, and I had tears, and muttered: "Why... It could be like this..."Suddenly remembered, and exclaimed: "What did you just say, that leader is..."

Yan Hui said lightly: "Like you, you are an immortal." ”

--------------------------------------------------------------

Until the night fell, Yun Chongbo was still sitting on the ground in a daze, holding his head, looking dazed. Yan Hui sat opposite him, his expression was very serious, and he was motionless, Hua Shengrong was making a fire and making rice in the distance, and he cursed in his stomach: "Two little things, sitting in a daze, but letting Lao Tzu come to busy, choking you to death for a while---..."

It wasn't until the middle of the moon that Yun Chongbo slowly let go of his hand, his eyes were still a little dull, and said, "Why... I don't understand..."

Yan replied: "I don't understand... Don't you really understand? ”

Yun Chongbo trembled and said, "No... I have something to understand... However, I still don't understand..."

After thinking for a while, he said: "I think, your idea is right, the emperor really needs to be restricted, to restrain them from doing anything wrong, small... The Little Kingdom of Heaven is like that because no one restricts the undead... I just don't understand that the purpose of the existence of the undead is not to save the world? Why... But he created the troubled times by himself...", he choked up as he spoke.

Yan Hui saw that he was sincere, and he didn't feel miserable, but he still hardened his heart: "This kind of thing, more than once, although the 'immortal' is called salvation, it has also created 'chaotic times' and even 'annihilation', tracing its origin, but it is exactly what you just said, there is no way to restrict the undead." ”

After a pause, he said slowly: "This is the reason why we are determined to suppress the Taiping Dao forever and never tolerate them. He originally called Yun Chongbo "You Taiping Dao", but after talking about it, he noticed that there seemed to be something between Yun Chongbo and Taiping Dao, and he was a very smart person, so he quietly changed his name.

Seeing that Yun Chongbo didn't react, he said again: "Actually, we are not only guarding against Taiping Dao... Such as the White Lotus Sect back then, such as the consistent Tao in the north, such as the Honglun Sect that has now been wiped out... As long as we try to establish a country based on religion, we will do our best to destroy it, and we will not show mercy. ”

With a gloomy expression and even more dejectedness, Yun Chongbo said in a low voice: "I think... I can see what you mean. ”

"The country is founded by religion, and the unity of politics and religion, even if there is no emperor's name, but the leader of the sect will only have more power than the emperor, and no one can limit it, if it is evil, it will be even more terrible... Right? ”

Yan Hui bowed his head slightly and said, "Yes." ”

"Actually, whether it's an emperor or a religion, it's not terrible in itself... What is really terrifying is the power that comes with it, that cannot be restricted... Even if it can be put in the right hands for the time being, when there are no checks and balances, anyone's mindset will change... God... They will think that they are God, God who can do everything, God who does not make mistakes. ”

"However, there is no need for a god in the human world, and there can be no god at all."

After thinking about it, he added: "Actually, Taiping Dao is not without realizing the importance of this, the so-called 'Three Qings' is actually a system of mutual checks and balances, but in the final analysis, they have a fundamental flaw. ”

"Believe in God, believe in God on earth, believe that man can communicate directly with God, believe that the 'immortal' is the representative of God's will... When people can be forcibly packaged as gods, any checks and balances are meaningless. ”

"Actually, this is also the fatal wound of all religions, believing that there is a God, that there is an absolutely right, omnipotent God... But if there is really a God, if God is really spiritual and powerful, how can all things in the heavens be so unjust? How can there be troubled times?! ”

Yan Hui said on the side, unconsciously his tone had turned excited, and said: "Moreover, there is one thing that believers are the most hateful, only those who have been worshiped are gods, and the rest can be killed, such as the Jingjiao and Manichaean Illuminati sects from the Western Regions... If you govern the country with this heart, there will be no more non-believers! The Taoist gate of the Buddha family is good on this, so everyone can still coexist for thousands of years, if the monks all say that the Taoist priest should die, the Taoist priest will kill the monk when he sees it... Hey, get rid of them early. ”

After thinking about it, he said: "The reason why we accept the Wang family also has this meaning in it, 'moving with the times' and 'three religions and one family' are both very conducive to coexistence." ”

Yun Chongbo staggered, stood up, and said, "But... But how do I do that? ”

"What should I do after hearing this from you?"

"How?"

After a while, Yan replied: "Brother Yun, what do you think you should do?" ”

Seeing Yun Chongbo's confused expression, he said again: "I want to ask, when did you start to have power--I mean, the real power is the power above the seventh level." ”

This question was really difficult for Yun Chongbo to answer, and after thinking about it for a long time, he said, "This... I don't know... It's like... It's since I came into contact with the sea..."

Nodding slightly, Yan replied, "When I had the seventh level of strength, I was just six years old. ”

This sentence really startled Yun Chongbo, and said, "That... Then aren't you...", he saw Yan Hui nodding and said, "Yes." ”

"I guess I can be considered a genius."

"When I first found out that I was far stronger than my companions around me, I used to feel extremely confused, and for a while, I just used this power to bully other companions and do some ridiculous things, until later, I met the human king."

"He took me into Confucianism, taught me to read, taught me how to control my power and all kinds of martial arts, but most importantly, he taught me how to deal with the power in my body."

This kind of statement is really unheard of in Yun Chongbo, and he unconsciously repeated: "Treat... Strength? ”

Yan Hui nodded heavily and said, "Yes." ”

"Strength... On this level, Brother Yun, we are actually the same people. ”

"Some people need to practice things that they can't master in their lifetime, but we have them unconsciously, and we have this powerful thing that can determine the life and death of people, and the success or failure of things, you say, is this fair?"

This kind of thought has never been seen by Yun Chongbo, and he said in his heart: "Fair...?" But he remembered how Yuqing had ridiculed and despised himself in front of him, and remembered the fire of resentment that burned in his eyes at that time.

"I used to think it was unfair, this is the care of heaven and earth for us... Or maybe it's the mockery of heaven and earth, because it drives us away from our old companions and leaves us with no way to turn back. ”

At first, I felt that Yan Hui's words seemed to be exaggerated, but after thinking about it carefully, Yun Chongbo had no choice but to admit that it was indeed impossible for him to return to Danshan now. Go back and be an ordinary farmer.

"But the king of men, he made me understand that it is my luck and my responsibility."

"I've got a lot of talent, so I can do more, take on more... Since I was born a genius, I should have done more than anyone else. ”

"The strong have their privileges, he can help the weak, this is the right of nature, no one can take it away, and it is the only place where we should use our power..."

"What do I mean, do you understand?"

"I..."

Feeling confused, Yun Chongbo said: "I... I seem to understand, but... I still don't know what to do... You tell me, okay..."

A hint of pity flashed in his eyes - and with emotion, Yan Hui said: "Brother Yun... You don't need me to say... No, you don't need anyone to teach you how to do it, you're smart enough to think and kind enough to judge. To listen to my advice, I can only say, do not be deceived by those words that are a priori, do not presuppose your own position. See with your own eyes, think with your own heart, you are immortal... Yes, but, I think, you are yourself first and foremost, you are Yun Chongbo. ”

As soon as the words came into his ears, Yun Chongbo's whole body shook violently, and after standing still for a long time, he shook it to the ground and said seriously: "I want to... I know... Got it. ”

"What to do, I'll go and figure it out slowly."

After saying that, Yun Chongbo turned around and said loudly: "Uncle, it's time to hit the road!" Ignoring Hua Shengrong's loud protests, he dragged him towards the mountain road, until he was about to disappear, and then suddenly stopped and said, "By the way, Xiucai... I have one thing I want to tell you. ”

"You say that you can't tolerate the Taiping Tao because the Taiping Tao will eventually lead to a terrible model of the integration of church and state, but there is a person, a person who has a very, very high status in the Taiping Dao, and he once told me personally that the purpose of the Taiping Tao is that the world is peaceful, and all the people have their own place, as for the unity of politics and religion... That's not what the Taiping Tao is pursuing. ”

I didn't expect Yun Chongbo to say this at all, Yan Hui was stunned for a moment, and Fang said, "That... That's nice... But, who said that? I heard Yun Chongbo be silent for a while, and then said loudly: "I... I don't know him either... Maybe... That's the future. ”

Yan Hui pondered for a while, then smiled: "So... That's a really good future, hopefully, a future that we can still see. ”

I heard Yun Chongbo laugh and said, "I... Think so too. As he spoke, his voice gradually faded away, and he suddenly raised his voice and said, "Xiucai! ”

Yan replied: "What's the matter?" I heard Yun Chongbo shouting loudly: "Thank you! The sound was like thunder, and the night birds were shaken, and the sound was shocked.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Until Yun Chongbo went far away, Yan Hui still maintained a farewell posture, motionless.

"The future... Is there really going to be a future like that? ”

Then I heard a mature and calm voice sigh: "To each his own, to each his own... I'd love to see that kind of future. ”

Yan Hui was shocked, turned around sharply, and said, "King Wen." "I saw a man in white ten steps away with his hands in the mountain wind, looking up at the stars, floating like a fairy, but it wasn't Qiu Yangming?

Seeing Yan turn around, he nodded slightly and said, "You are very good, that person... He's also nice and funny. ”

"Now, I understand a little bit why he was able to escape from the hands of the Human King and the Dragon King successively."

Yan Hui said respectfully: "Yes, the disciple also thinks that he... There are still a lot of possibilities in him, and there is still a lot of room for development. ”

He also said: "The disciple made his own decision and passed on his 'disciple rules'. ”

Qiu Yangming was stunned and said, "You actually passed on his 'disciple rules'?" Xuan sighed again: "That's it, you want to have an opinion." ”

He muttered again: "This kid on the left and right can even use the Dragon Fist, and it's nothing..."

Yan Hui bowed again: "King Wen came west, but is it for that person's business?" ”

Qiu Yangming nodded and said, "Yes." ”

"The explanation of the Wanyan family is simply nonsense, and there is no hard evidence, and there is no way to believe that the person really fell ill and died... However, it seems that the man is really dead. ”

Yan Hui said movingly: "Really? ”

Qiu Yangming let out a long sigh and said, "Maybe it's God's curse, I don't know, that person, although he is smart, but he is too deep, and he will indeed hurt the yin with such a trick..."

Yan Hui didn't care much about these things, he just followed his own train of thought and said, "King Wen, what do you think of what the immortal said just now?" ”

Qiu Yangming smiled bitterly and said, "What do I think?" ”

"Since the beginning of the Taiping Dao, they have taken the establishment of a theocratic Taiping Dao as their sole goal, and they have been doing so for 4,000 years, but now they suddenly say that they do not pursue theocratic unity... Hey, let's talk about it, listen to it. ”

He muttered, "But, if that's the case..."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PILL, I don't want to pick out what you think you understand, but if you have read the Taiping Ji in its entirety and read all the words I have posted here, you should know that in this place of complete anonymity, I always emphasize and pride myself as a member of the Communist Party.

What is expressed in the Taiping Ji is my personal views and thoughts on some issues, but these things, or principles, are absolutely not in conflict with communism. In fact, communism should be a better and more harmonious existence than that.

I do not deny that many of our current things are far from being called democratic and modern systems, but I am optimistic about our prospects and believe that this system still has the ability to repair and adjust itself. Moreover, I believe that at present, we as a whole do not have the ability to enjoy a high-stage democracy. In the end, it's not that we haven't tried the so-called "democratic" and "democratic", but today, most people have forgotten about it. If you have the energy, I really suggest you read the history of modern China and see the farce of the "pig cub parliamentarian" at the beginning. Or take a look at Taiwan today, and see how democracy has been hijacked by ultranationalist and calculating politicians.

There are some things that are really beautiful on paper, but... Reality, it's the most real thing. Consider how many countries in the world today have been torn apart by so-called democratic elections and have been paralyzed almost completely, and, I dare to assert that today, if we adopt a comprehensive popular election, we must be the best at inciting hatred among the people, and at blaming all inconveniences on the extremist views of the old rulers and foreigners, and the loudest and most applauded in any local parliament will be those who advocate beggar-thy-neighbor and "XX supremacy"... And do you think it's better than it is today?

To put it bluntly, my point of view: democracy is a good thing, but before the vast majority of voters can identify and reject right-wing extremists, before the vast majority of voters can consciously reject violence, and before the vast majority of voters can calmly look at the defeat of their own candidates, the imposition of a so-called democratic system will bring irreparable consequences. The rest of the world combined may not have as much experience as we do.

Foreigners' opinions... I'm not insisting that "if it's not my race, its heart will be different", but don't you want me to believe that those who started the war, those who burned down the Yuanmingyuan, those who divided our land, those who robbed Dunhuang and the Forbidden City, those who put the mothership on our coastline, and dropped bombs on our embassy... The guys will genuinely care about us and help us. Trust these guys... I'd rather believe that Taiping Ji will one day win the Nobel Prize.

As far as individuals are concerned, I would also like to believe that there will be many foreigners who are obsessed with goodwill towards China and sincerely hope that China can become rich and strong, because at the level of ordinary people, no one likes war, and most people are always kind. But when low-priced Chinese products start to hit their lives, when our lives go up means that some of them are going down... Let's take another look at their faces.

Moreover, at the government level, I do not believe that the government of such a large country would be so stupid or naΓ―ve as to seriously promote the comprehensive prosperity and strength of a large country with nuclear weapons and space technology, a land area of tens of billions and trillions of people, when it has other options. Everything that has happened in the past has proven time and again how they will act... So, for those guys, I always have only six words: *Turtle Sun.

… By the way, if I have to project that description into real history, then, I think, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Great Shun Dynasty are the best templates. This is also the common pattern followed by the peasant uprisings of successive generations: starting with hanging people and ending with remnants. It is precisely because they cannot see the possibility of a breakthrough from such a cycle that Yan Hui will lose confidence in a "better future" and will support the system that they know the true face. Because they believe that this cannot be changed, they focus their energies on how to make it a little less destructive than to design a new system... This is the tragedy of countless generations of Chinese intellectuals, and one of the reasons why we have been missing breakthrough opportunities since the Ming and Qing dynasties... At least, that's what I think.

Also, for the flickering questions... Religion is not a religion if it is not paranoid, Christianity and Islam have thousands of years of history, but look at the Americans and Israelis who are now slaughtering cities and destroying countries by shouting "in the name of God", look at the Arabs who shout in the name of Allah and slaughter infidels and even women of different races... Do you think they really have made any spiritual progress compared to the time of the Crusaders?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Fuck, that bastard, you hurt me like this..."

The whole body was tied with bandages, and Ao Xingxing was lying on the bed, with no freedom at all, only one mouth was still autonomous, and he was scolding endlessly.

"You save it, he is at least merciful to you, if you do it to me like this, you probably don't have a few bones left."

was tied up like Ao Xingxing, lying on the bed opposite him, Emperor Xiangxian's face was longer than Ao Xingxing, and he was a horse face, and he didn't speak at all, and he was tight.

"Both are bastards, shut up!"

I don't look at the identity of the Ao family dragon general or the prince of the dynasty at all, and the one who is scolding is Ao Xingxing's sister, the dragon will be Ao Doomsday, but the reason for her scolding is very strange, first of all, the two of them dared to go behind his back to find someone to fight, and after the two of them defended that they were attacked by someone, they asked why they didn't know to shout for help.

"Are you both dead? Don't know how to call people? If I arrive with Xiaoying..."

β€œβ€¦ It's just two more people who have been beaten. ”

This sentence naturally didn't dare to be spoken, but it was the common voice of Di Ao and the two, peeking at each other, and pulling the corners of their mouths at the same time, although it would cause pain in the wound, it could be regarded as a kind of joy in suffering.

… It was already the afternoon of the next day since he was attacked by Xuanwu on the shore of Nanhu. But whenever they think back to last night, these two bold men still can't help but fight a cold war.

They have never been so close to death.

Last night, under the assault of Xuanwu, the two suffered the first "fiasco" in their lives, and were overwhelmingly defeated, and the two could not find any chance to win, the only thing they could do was to try to choose between "serious injury" and "minor injury", and this also required the cooperation of the two, so as not to directly draw the ending of "death" into their hands.

Regardless of everything, the two of them even have a feeling that they are on the edge of life and death, and they can actually comprehend some things that they can never break through when they practice martial arts on weekdays, but that is completely useless to fight, to put it to an extreme, in the face of the butcher who sharpens his knife, even if the pigs and sheep in the pen grow one more leg out, what is the use?

(It's worthy of being a strong man who is already a powerful opponent of the five ministers, and I originally thought it was an exaggerated legend, but now it seems... οΌ‰

In the end, they were able to escape, and it was not the credit of the two of them themselves, but an unknown strong man appeared, divided the chains and freezing gas, and they successfully stopped Xuanwu.

(However, these two people don't feel strong enough to force Xuanwu back, and there should be other reasons for this...) οΌ‰

In the eyes of Emperor Xiangxian, he didn't think that those two people could fight against Xuanwu, it seemed that there were other reasons that made Xuanwu retreat. Extremely interested in the reason, at the same time, Emperor Xiangxian also longed to know the identities of the two, but he was already seriously injured to the point of dying, but he couldn't fulfill any of his wishes, and he didn't even know how to be sent back to the inn.

The prince was attacked, such news was simply a thunderstorm on a sunny day, Kang Zifan was in a hurry, and brought the people who could walk and move in the city to the inn left and right to set up defenses, Xie Shuyuan was also generally nervous, and brought all the children of Banfu here, kneeling down to apologize, and finally the emperor and elephant came out first to dismiss them all, but after this trouble, this matter has been known all over the city. There was also a mess in the middle, and in the chaos, the government was attacked by the gold dust of the Six Dynasties and rescued the abandoned pawn.

The more Ao Doom scolded, the more energetic he became, and he didn't feel tired at all, so he scolded so much that both of them wrinkled their faces, curled up desperately, hoping to plug their ears, but unfortunately both hands were tied with bandages, so be free?

Suddenly, he heard a bang, the door of the house was slammed open, and it was Cao Wenyuan who rushed inside, but his face was red at this time, his face was full of beads of sweat, his expression was quite anxious, and there was a little bit of anger. ”

Cao Wenyuan gasped for a few breaths before he palmed his body and said, "Yes... There is something very strange, we thought, please ask the prince to give an order, concentrate all the available forces, and do a sweep. As he spoke, the expression on his face was clearer, full of lingering anger.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the forest of the East Mountain, under the huge ancient pine, Xuanwu sat cross-legged, quiet like a boulder. In front of him, Sun Wufu, who was holding his hands, turned his back to him, and was listening to the report of his subordinates.

β€œβ€¦ There were three of them, and a total of forty-nine people were killed, and twenty-two others were seriously injured and could hardly survive..."

"Well, I see."

Nodding slightly, Sun couldn't wave his hand and retreated his subordinates before saying, "Brother Xuanwu... Thank you for yesterday's events. ”

With a snort, Xuanwu bowed slightly, and said, "Great Sage, if it weren't for that person, that puppy of the Zhao family would have been a dead dog by now..." ”

With a wry smile, Sun couldn't say: "The high-headed Holy Gate, it is inevitable that there will be backlashers...", but he refused to continue along this topic, and changed: "There have been three bloody cases in one day, and there has been chaos... If you do it like this, what good can the Yu Xie family do..."

Xuanwu is not an intelligent person, listening to Sun can't speak like this, just silent, Sun can't also know that discussing these things with him is almost equivalent to asking Yu Blind, but in the battle of Nanhu, Xuanwu assassinated Emperor Xiangxian, and the success was lost, but it was always a matter in his heart, and he always hoped to find an opportunity to explain.

… Last night, Xuanwu assaulted from the lake and knocked the two down with an overwhelming advantage, but encountered two people to disrupt the situation and missed.

"Those two people are indeed very strong... Especially one of them, it seems to be used as if it is still a Heavenly Divine Weapon... But, Great Sage, to be honest, it wasn't them who really stopped me, it was you. ”

At that time, Sun could not be extremely confused by such words, until Xuanwu told him that although the other person was slightly weaker, he was using an extremely pure Chaotian Divine Transformation.

"From the beginning to the end, he only used the Frost Change, but he used it extremely wonderfully, showing that he has a very high level of understanding and comprehension, if you want to compare with your subordinates, I think, he should be able to catch up with Dongfang Ling..."

has had an extremely wonderful record of "Yuntai Mountain Five Tigers and Eight Horses", Xuanwu is certainly qualified to comment, hearing such an evaluation, Sun can't help but show a somewhat embarrassed smile.

Puzzled by the other party's martial arts, and also troubled by the other person's pervasive entanglement, Xuanwu finally gave up, hoping to ask Sun about his confusion first. And Sun Wuwu's reaction showed that his judgment was absolutely correct, because Sun Wuwu didn't care about Emperor Xiangxian's life and death at all, but attached great importance to whether Xuanwu had hurt that person or not, until Xuanwu gave a positive answer, he obviously relaxed.

Who is that person, Xuanwu is actually very interested, but Sun can't say nothing, and he can't ask more. He is a cold-faced and cold-mouthed person by nature, and he is good at sitting in dry meditation when he practices on weekdays, and he doesn't like many people, although he has a place to settle in the city, he still insists on going into the mountains to find land, and Sun can't and has to let him.

He came here with him to talk to Xuanwu about last night's incident, but after all, there was something in his heart, and he didn't want to delay because he had just heard the news, and when he saw Xuanwu gradually falling into thought, he raised his hand to say goodbye and hurried away. Out of the mountain through the city, not for a while, has arrived at a deserted garden in the western suburbs of Guadu: this garden also has a few acres of size, dig out a lake in the middle, next to a few rockeries, plant some bamboo, start a small building, are the usual garden specifications, just plant begonias, although there are no flowers at this time, but the branches stretch, but also a feature.

It is obvious that it has been abandoned for a long time, the flowers and trees in the garden have been messed up by weeds, the stone path is gray and thick, and it is a footprint when you step on it, and the small building is not very reassuring at a glance, it seems that it will collapse at any time, there is a plaque on it, and because of the time, one side has been loosened and hung down not to say, the words on the top are also full of cobweb ash, and it is not clear at all.

There was someone on the third floor, who was looking down against the railing, and when he saw that Sun couldn't come over, he smiled and said, "Great Sage." "It is Tianji crape myrtle, Sun can't bow his head slightly, while picking up the stairs, he sees that the third floor is very messy, the tables and chairs are scattered, and the dust is more than his fingers. There was another person upstairs, dressed in a gray cloth robe, sitting in another corner, far away from the Tianji crape myrtle, but wearing a large mask on his face, pure gray and white, looking dead eyebrows and dead eyes, very terrifying.

Seeing that Sun couldn't come up, the man shook his shoulder, rushed up, and bowed down and said, "Second Shao... Old slave... The old slave finally sees you again. Saying that, there was a choked voice, Sun couldn't help him up, and said, "Uncle Huang... Other... How dare I accept your courtesy..."The voice was happy, sentimental, and emotional.

Tianji Ziwei smiled, came over and couldn't help the man sit down, and said: "General Huang has followed the Sun family for three generations, and he did not hesitate to ruin his reputation, in order to be loyal, and he will always be respected. ”

The man took off the mask on his face: it turned out to be an old man sixty miles away, with white hair. Hearing Tianji Ziwei say this, he hurriedly said: "Mr. is too famous, I really don't dare to be..."He didn't know who Tianji Ziwei was, but he was inconvenient to inquire lightly, so he looked at Sun Wu, Sun couldn't smile, and said: "Uncle Huang, this is Mr. Tianji." The man was taken aback, and gave a salute again, Tianji Ziwei thanked him again and again, but in the end he still couldn't eat, and after receiving a salute, the three of them returned to their seats again, and said a few words, all of which Sun couldn't ask the old man how he had been doing in recent years, and after talking for a while, Fang said softly: "Uncle Huang, the matter of Taishi... How the hell is going on? When did he get into the 'Sail Thief'? ”
