Chapter 208: Behind the Scenes (Supplement to the previous book)
'Isn't this holy monk still studying sociology?' ’
Listening to the holy monk's narration, Zhong Shenxiu's expression gradually became strange.
The Wu Dynasty has existed for thousands of years, and it is indeed long enough.
Moreover, according to Zhong Shenxiu's observation, under the rule of this imperial court, the people used farming methods and intensive cultivation, and the productivity could be regarded as a relatively cutting-edge level in the feudal era.
Five hundred years ago, it should have reached the point where there were many people and few places, the contradictions were extremely fierce, and the four sides rose up.
If there is no world with extraordinary power, the next thing will inevitably be a great chaos in the world, with a group of heroes rising together, and a large number of wars will be struck, killing more than half of the population, and vacating the land, and a new dynasty can be opened and continue for hundreds of years.
If there were no great geographical discoveries, great colonization, and even the rapid development of productive forces, it would be this kind of cycle of reincarnation.
However, the emergence of martial arts has completely changed this side of the world!
A blood-exchanging warrior can defeat 100 people.
And the martial arts master, among thousands of troops, takes the head of the general, just like probing the bag!
Not to mention the great grandmaster, at a glance, the group of heroes is tied.
With such armed suppression, what mud legs can succeed in rebellion?
Five hundred years ago, there were many people in the world and few lands, the officials were corrupt, the people were not able to make a living, the world was in chaos, and there were anti-kings.
The Great Martial Dynasty was in danger for a while, and then they sent a great master.
And then there was no then......
In January, all the anti-kings in the world were given heads, and then the five dragon armies of the imperial court entered and killed them very much, and they were easily suppressed.
Of course, because of the rebellion, the people suffered heavy casualties, some of the excess land was vacated, and the contradiction between man and land was reduced, so there was great governance after the chaos.
Emperor Wu of that generation actually won the name of the master of Zhongxing, which was praised by historical records.
Zhong Shenxiu listened to the holy monk talk about that period of history, and couldn't help but be a little fascinated.
"And yet...... The people of the world will always find their own way out! ”
"The rebel army was suppressed by the martial arts powerhouse, but in that massacre, there were also many rebels who killed some court masters at any cost and looted some cheats...... And the award of military merits has also led to the flow of some royal martial arts into the people, and the practice of martial arts in the rivers and lakes has flourished......"
Since then, the court has known that it is not the rebel army that can overthrow the royal family, but the sectarian family...... Several decrees were issued one after another to intervene in the martial arts rivers and lakes, such as the system of the three lists of heaven, earth and man, which was completely established at that time......"
"The imperial court is secluded behind the scenes, provoking the strength of the major sects to fight for fame, and provoking the struggle between good and evil, while he is high above and regularly cleans the martial arts...... Such a layout has continued for the Dawu Dynasty for another 500 years, until now, when it feels that the Jianghu martial arts are threatening the court again, the court will secretly take action again...... This incident of the Five Poison Sect was an opportunity they had been waiting for for a long time, and after the Five Poison Sect was destroyed, the speed of the imperial court's action suddenly accelerated...... Now, the Lingnan Song family has been greatly damaged, the Five Poisons Sect has been destroyed, the Suyin Fairy has been forced to announce the closure of the mountain, and as for the Langya Wang family and the Six Void Sect, they have already secretly defected to the imperial court...... Before forcing the Suyin Sword Sect to close the mountain, they helped, and a few days ago, they besieged Lao Qu with the bloody marquis of the imperial court! ”
The holy monk smiled bitterly: "The martial arts of the rivers and lakes are about to set off a catastrophe...... What is the innocent life in the world? ”
"Old monk, do you want to join forces with me?"
Zhong Shenxiu bowed his head and understood what the holy monk meant: "It's just that we are alone, and those scattered great grandmasters on the heavenly list don't seem to be of much use, and they may not be able to find anyone if they want to, and I don't know which one is a secret son of the imperial court......"
Thinking about it like this, he felt a little cold sweat.
Although the imperial court is weak now, in terms of martial arts alone, the strength is still incredibly strong.
"If I am Emperor Wu, I have so much strength, and I must also seize the opportunity to try to clean the martial arts and prolong the life of the imperial court ......for hundreds of years."
Zhong Shenxiu thought with some shame, in the matter of the imperial court's extermination of the great master of dissent, he probably seemed to be an accomplice.
This monk has found the wrong person...... In fact, I don't have any idea about the imperial court's life extension, if Emperor Wu promises to give me the "Wordless Heavenly Monument", I will help him...... Old monk, you overestimate my temperament. ’
Zhong Shenxiu looked the holy monk up and down, secretly thinking about whether to sell this person for a good price.
"No!"
The next sentence of the holy monk is not like this: "The old man does not want to join forces with the layman, but wants to entrust the world to the layman, why can the old man only meet the layman with spirit?" It's because of the damage to the golden body, and it's not long to die......"
"What? Old monk, are you going to die? ”
Zhong Shenxiu was really taken aback, after all, this old monk was still the third on the heavenly list!
"Liuxu Zhoutong, King Langya, and Bloody Clothes Hou joined forces...... The old man could only keep two of them, but he had to be dragged along with them. ”
The holy monk was not very afraid of death, and a sad look appeared on his face: "As soon as the old man dies, almost no one in the world can stop the imperial court from bloodbathing the martial arts and slaughtering the world......"
Zhong Shenxiu listened carefully, with a lot of thoughts in his heart.
Compared with the imperial court, my pattern is still a little smaller...... Of course, the purpose is different, and it's hard to say......
But...... If it is said that the reason why the imperial court decided to take action, it was because the Five Poisons Sect was destroyed and the eight major forces in the world were unbalanced...... And the reason why the Five Poisons Sect was destroyed was the matter of the King of Ten Thousand Slaves, wouldn't that be ...... Is it still my pot at the end of the day? ’
'No, that's not right...... Even without me, as soon as the King of Ten Thousand Slaves was born and became a great grandmaster, the Five Poisons Sect had three great grandmasters, how could he not come out and make trouble? Therefore, no matter whether he fails or succeeds, and the matter of Wannu Shengong is leaked, the eight major forces will inevitably usher in a reshuffle...... Well, so not my pot, I don't recognize! ’
As for if it weren't for him, the King of Wannu would not be able to find a second person who could practice the Five Elements Great Thief Palm, and if he couldn't meet the needs of the Wannu Divine Skill, he wouldn't be able to advance to the Great Grandmaster immediately, and at least it would be delayed for decades, or even a lifetime, and it would not be within his consideration.
"Old monk, what good do I have to go against the imperial court?"
Zhong Shenxiu asked rhetorically.
"Since the donor has taken over the identity of the Immortal Evil Emperor, can he still tolerate it in the imperial court?"
The holy monk was a little surprised, and then smiled bitterly: "The old man is just doing his best and obeying the destiny of heaven...... Just when he was in the midst of extinction, he sensed the spirit of the donor, so he came here to see it, and that's it......"
As soon as his voice fell, the illusion shattered.
……
In reality.
Zhong Shenxiu touched the Shura mask on his face, and thoughtfully: "There are so many things in the world...... That's a big deal, I threw away this identity and don't want it to be ......"
After all, there are no ashes of the Immortal Evil Emperor, and no one in the world can confirm that the Immortal Evil Emperor is dead except for this old monk.
Besides, even if someone is sure to pretend, there are so many great masters in the Heavenly List, and there are a few hidden ones, they can't splash all the dirty water on my Xun Liuyi's head!
He is just a newcomer who has just broken through, how can he beat the Immortal Evil Emperor!
