Chapter 22: Blessings and Misfortunes
When the three of them heard this, they were all taken aback, thinking of the previous conversation between Taiqingzi and Wu Renxing, Qin Wei roughly calculated, Taiqingzi entered the palace with Bai Yunzi, just when the Wu family was arrogant, and now it has been nearly 60 years, as many as one jiazi, and then they finally understand why Taiqingzi has white hair, but his teeth and eyes are bright, and he looks like he is standing in his old age, Taiqingzi may actually be old, Qin Wei immediately ignored the stinging pain in the back wound, struggled to get up, and arched his hand with a solemn face: "Thanks to the help of the old-timers many times, and the grace of saving lives several times, Qin Wei has nothing to repay." Immediately bowed heavily, Bai Yuchuan Bao and the others heard this, and immediately reacted and got up and thanked him heavily.
Seeing the three of them like this, Tai Qingzi twisted up a wisp of white silk and sighed lightly, "The three of you sit down and listen to the poor way and continue to talk."
Hearing Tai Qingzi's words, the three of them sat on the spot and listened attentively
"Tyrannical Qin has no way, scattered all over the Chu bloodline, have held high the banner of righteousness, the most powerful of them, is the Xiang clan, in order to repay the Qin slaughter of the clansmen, annihilation of the hatred of the homeland, heard that the first emperor died in the sand dunes, knowing that the time has come, Xiang Yu and his uncle and brother rose up, leading tens of thousands of lions, through the three battles of Linji, Dingtao, Julu, the world-famous, unified the six countries of the towering Qin division is a defeat of the army, Xiang Yu's ambition, was to smash the Qin capital Xianyang, a wash of national shame, but was the time of the road hero, Liu Bang took the lead, Taking advantage of the bloody battle between the Chu army and the Qin army, he led his troops to take Xianyang, and at this moment, Xianyang was empty, the second emperor Hu Hai died young, and the third son of Qin was weak and weak, unable to compete with Liu Bang, so he had to obediently hold the jade seal and dedicate it to Liu Bang, in order to please Liu Bang to get the life of the family, he actually told Liu Bang all the legends related to this jade, adding oil and vinegar, Liu Bang thought it was nonsense, until he entered the Afang Palace, and saw the tortured and dying Chu Di aliens, only half-believing Ziying's words. was about to carefully look at the jade seal in his hand, but at this time, the jade seal actually gave birth to a vision, and the green mang, which had been silent for a hundred years, bloomed again, in the dark Qin Palace, like a bright moon, Liu Bang remembered what Ziying said before, and was so shocked that he hurriedly threw the jade seal aside, but unexpectedly, the jade seal fell to the ground, and the green mang disappeared. After a while, Liu Bang and the generals present did not notice anything unusual about themselves, but they still felt that this thing was incredible, so they simply put away the jade seal, withdrew from the house, and ordered the palace to be sealed. Later, the overlord Xiang Yu's soldiers came to the city, Liu Bang knew that he was invincible, and then fled with the jade seal, and after Xiang Yu entered Xianyang, he saw the tragic situation of the people in the Afang Palace, and learned that the treasures of the country were taken away by Liu Bang, and he was immediately furious. Ordered the three armies to slaughter the city, the three armies had already hated the tyrannical Qin to the bone, slaughtered hundreds of thousands of people in Xianyang within three days, Xianyang City was bloody, reduced to a ghost domain, the heirs of the Qin Emperor were slaughtered, and the towering Qin Palace was burned by Xiang Yu. Countless dying Chu aliens in the Afang Palace also disappeared with this fire. ”
Hearing this, Qin Wei frowned, "Chu Jun slaughtered the city, it was out of hatred, but why did he burn the Chu people in Afang Palace to death, how can it be the same ancestry?"
"Brother Qin's words are wrong, when my master and I were wandering all over the world before, I saw thieves and firefighters, in order to prevent the secret from leaking out, he did not hesitate to kill his companions, this is too commonplace, human nature, it is not enough to say a word" Chuan Bao closed his eyes and spit slightly, while adjusting his internal strength according to the mantra taught by Tai Qingzi before, he replied expressionlessly
Bai Yu continued: "What Brother Yan said makes sense, but I always feel that Xiang Yu is doing this, I'm afraid it's not just to keep a secret. ”
"That's right" Tai Qingzi sighed, "Xiang Yu entered the Afang Palace, and saw thousands of strange people from the Chu State being tortured to the point of being inhuman, and his heart was full of sorrow, and what shocked him even more was that he saw a person he couldn't have imagined, that was the person who was the closest to the mysterious Qingguang, and King Chu Wen, the old lord of the Chu State who had disappeared five hundred years ago!" However, at this moment, King Chu Wen was tightly bound by several iron chains, his eyebrows and eyes were gone, he looked like dry bones, and he wailed weakly. ”
When the three of them heard this, they were all shocked, "King Chu Wen!" Isn't it recorded in the history books that he is already dead! Bai Yu hurriedly said, what he heard today has overturned all the history books he read before, you know, it was a full five hundred years apart! How can a person live for five hundred years! Shocked, he saw Tai Qingzi's face solemn and continued
Seeing the old lord of the old country like this, Xiang Yu finally began to feel scared, thinking that it was a god-given divine power, but he didn't want to end up with this appearance, so he suddenly had an epiphany, this green light is a blessing or a curse. Later, he burned the Qin Palace and turned it into scorched earth, in the final analysis, it came from the fear in his heart. ”
Qin Wei muttered, "A generation of overlords, how can they be afraid?"
Tai Qingzi looked at Qin Wei intently: and said slowly, "It is precisely because he is afraid, in the later battle, with Liu Bang, he gradually lost more and won less, and it was because he was afraid that he did not dare to return to Jiangdong, and it was precisely because he was afraid that he was defeated and killed himself in Wujiang." ”
Hearing this, Bai Yu not only frowned, "Senior, according to the history books, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, was defeated one after another in the later period, wasn't it because Liu Bang slowly became stronger?" Eh, wait, Liu Bang...... Could it be a jade seal! ”
Of course, the people who wrote the book in later generations did not know the secret, because as early as the Qin Dynasty, all the records of this legend had been burned by Yingzheng, and he just wanted to live forever and be the eternal emperor of the world, how could he allow the secret to be passed on again. And Liu Bang, with his own eyes, saw the legendary Qingguang that even Yingzheng didn't have the chance to see, just for a short moment, no one knew what happened to Liu Bang, after Liu Bang got the jade seal, he was weak and he rose to the top, and in just a few years, he was equal to Xiang Yu's strength, and then he was trapped to death. Destroying the tyrannical Qin, the elite of Western Chu who was in the middle of the day, was defeated in just seven or eight years, and the dignified overlord of Western Chu even ended up killing himself in Wujiang, and his body was in a different place.
Bai Yu groaned: "The history books record that Liu Bang was like Yingzheng in his later years, cruel and suspicious, and unwarranted suspicion, Han Xinxiao and other heroes were executed by him one by one, could it be that this jade seal is also the reason for this jade seal."
Chuan Bao frowned, and continued: "It's a jade seal, and it's also a human heart." ”
"Listening to what the predecessors said, it seems that this jade seal contributed to all this, then this jade seal is not the source of the disaster, in this case, why not just destroy it" Qin Wei thought for a moment, and then said what he thought in his heart.
Taiqingzi said: "If the jade seal is a disaster, it is also overkill, after Liu Bang called the emperor, knowing that it is the work of this jade seal, he will worship this jade seal high, and the secret of the jade seal will only be passed on to the prince, and the Han Dynasty has continued for four hundred years under its protection."
After that, it was spread in the world that the jade seal was a symbol of imperial power, and the jade seal won the world, attracting the princes of the world to follow suit and engrave their own seals. Once Xiang Yu had a few people in the old department, also with alien blood, after escaping back to Jiangdong by luck, he wanted to snatch the jade seal back, they multiplied, secretly gathered strength, cultivated power, waited for the opportunity, and finally in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, waited for a great opportunity, the Yellow Turban Uprising, the world was in chaos, a branch of the aliens, the Jiangdong Wang clan Sun, taking advantage of the chaos in Luoyang, led the army to take the Luoyang Palace, and won the jade seal of the country in one fell swoop, and then brought it back to Jiangdong, but it attracted the world but the war was more prosperous, Some strangers who have the world in their hearts began to think that the Sun family was talentless and could not control the jade seal, and the two forces argued endlessly, and then, the Sun family was burdened by the jade seal, and the hometown of Jiangdong also fell into war, the jade seal was snatched by the princes from all walks of life, and the homes of the aliens in Chu were destroyed and displaced, and they had seen too many joys and sorrows, and they thought that the blessing and misfortune of this jade seal lies in the strength of the holder. It was decided to assist the world's heroes to dominate the world, and finally three points returned to Jin, the world was unified, and the aliens thought that everything was calm, but they didn't know that the Sima family was a jade seal obtained by usurping power, talented but not virtuous, and was burdened by the jade seal, and the country fell apart for a while after a few years of stability, and the remaining aliens finally had an epiphany. ”
"A small jade seal, but there are so many stories" After hearing this, the three of them couldn't help but sigh, but they saw Taiqingzi's face was heavy, and between breathing, the surrounding air seemed to tremble.
"It's just that these strangers had an epiphany later, Wuhu entered the Central Plains, competing for the jade seal and the land city, the sixteen countries have changed more than once, but it is more tragic than any previous era, the people of the Central Plains are like grass mustard, tired of war, starving all over the land, miserable!" Tai Qingzi said this, his face seemed to be excited, and there was a faint sound of buzzing from the green sword behind him. "For decades, Yiren has been looking for a person with both ability and integrity, wanting to help him seize the jade seal and calm the war, so that the river will be stable and the world will be peaceful, and finally let them wait for one person"
"Emperor Yang Jian of Sui" Bai Yu stared at the straw on the ground and said thoughtfully.
"Well, the Yiren found the master, so they gave full play to their respective strengths, assisted Yang Jian, won the jade seal, ascended the throne of the God King, and created the Great Sui, only to finally pacify the mountains and rivers, Kuang helped the four seas, but the good times did not last long, the second Yang Guang was not at all like his father, but he was a brutal and chaotic generation, and the Yiren was afraid that the world that had just been pacified would fall into war again, so he resolutely took the jade seal out of the Sui court, and took advantage of the fact that the world was not in chaos, looking for the real master of both ability and political integrity."
When the three of them heard this, they were already shocked in their hearts, according to what Tai Qingzi said, this jade seal is so extraordinary, isn't it ...... Li Tang's world. Chuan Bao carefully picked up the stone and asked, "Senior, is this the heirloom jade seal, why is it not eight characters, only four characters?" ”
"These four characters are engraved by Zhao Yong's lord and Shi Le's snake painting, in fact, it is like this!" As he spoke, Taiqingzi sword eyebrows, picked up the stone in Chuan Bao's hand, and then his body flashed, the green sword on his back had long been held in his hand, and he volleyed several green mangs, only to see the stones scatter in response, revealing the yellow and white jade stone that was one or two or three inches square inside.
"That's it...... The jade seal of the country is ...... Is it? ”
Taiqingzi looked intently at the jade seal of the country, "After the Li family entered the Central Plains, Yiren found that it was a rare master, and immediately decided to assist with all his strength, creating an unprecedented prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, and this jade seal of the country was secretly sealed in the palace. I thought that I could always protect the Tang Dynasty, but I don't know if it was a joke of God, today's descendants of the Li family are no longer as capable and moral as their ancestors, so that it has once again fallen into the world, and for the world, I really don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse. ”
Qin Wei stared at the jade seal hanging in the air, but said: "Senior, forgive the younger generation for being unreasonable, although the younger generation is not very superior, but I know the word loyalty, even if the sky is going to destroy the Tang Dynasty, the younger generation will fight to the last drop of blood with a spear, because General Li once taught that being a man, the most important thing, is loyalty!" Two is righteousness! But listening to what the predecessors said, what those strangers did was like withered grass on the wall, falling down with the wind, which really violated the word loyalty."
Seeing that Tai Qingzi was silent, Bai Yu spoke: "Brother Qin, this is a bad statement, I think that the predecessors and those strangers are all people who have the world in their hearts, as the predecessors said, the jade seal is for the virtuous and talented to live in, and the world will be stable." What do you think, Brother Yan?"
Chuan Bao frowned, thought for a long time and replied: "I don't know, what Brother Qin said makes sense, and what Brother Bai said is right, I haven't read any books, and I don't know what righteousness, in my eyes, gold and silver, fame and power are all dung, I'm just thinking, is the world really controlled by this stone?" I really can't understand how so many people lost their lives because of this stone. ”
After the three of them finished speaking, they suddenly felt a shock around them, and the sound of rain immediately entered their ears, and it was Taiqingzi who withdrew his internal force. A gust of cold wind mixed with the raindrops blew into the grass hut, but it made the three of them feel cold.
The jade seal had no internal force to lift, fell suddenly, and fell heavily in Chuan Bao's arms, Chuan Bao looked at the jade seal in his arms with a complicated face, looked up at Tai Qingzi, but saw Tai Qingzi carrying the green sword behind him, and said calmly: "Now, you know the origin of this jade seal, you must have known the meaning of the poor road following you, now the jade seal is in your hands, where to go, decide for yourself" Then the figure flashed, and he flew in the air with raindrops.
Qin Wei knew that his words had angered Tai Qingzi, and he hurriedly shouted: "Senior! "But where is there still Taiqingzi. Immediately indifferent, looking at the jade seal in Chuan Bao's arms, for a while, the three of them looked at each other.
Chuan Bao frowned and said, "What did the predecessor mean, could it be that we should help Yiren find someone with both ability and integrity?" ”
Bai Yu touched the jade seal, only to feel a trace of coldness on his fingertips, this slightly luxurious piece of jade can cause disputes in the world, it is really a miracle. I couldn't help but sigh: "What the predecessor said just now really seems to be a story"
"Is it a blessing or a curse" Qin Wei looked at the storm outside and sighed silently.
The three of them looked at each other speechlessly, but saw that Xiaoxiao was soaking wet and hurriedly ran into the grass shed from outside
"I'm running out of medicine! Who will go with me to collect medicine outside the city! ”
"Out of town?" When the three of them heard this, they couldn't help but be stunned. "Miss Xiaoxiao, now that the outside of the city is besieged by rebels, and it is raining heavily, you are drenched, and you will get sick if you don't dry your clothes" Bai Yu saw that Xiaoxiao's lips were purple, trembled slightly, and hurriedly said
"I'll Go"
"I'll go too," Qin Wei and Chuanbao replied expressionlessly.
Xiaoxiao looked at the two of them, then grabbed Chuan Bao's arm and ran out
"You'd better recuperate obediently, don't come out and cause trouble." Hearing this, Qin Wei froze in place.
If you want to know what happens next, let's see the next time.
