Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Descendants of Xinling
After a brief moment of consternation, I shook my head, put away the unbounded thoughts in my head, and waited for Juekong to speak, wanting to know what he was here for.
Juekong naturally didn't know what he looked like in our eyes just now, after he entered the room, Ling Xuan quickly closed the door of the meditation room again, and before Juekong could stand firm, he heard Chun Ting say with a smile.
"Juekong, Juekong, I've always been curious, how can there be such a young Juezi monk in this Great Xiangguo Temple, and now I have finally figured it out, it seems that you are the one who has been hidden in this Xiangguo Temple for thousands of years."
"If, according to my guess, you must have come here for nothing other than to explain everything to us, am I right?"
Regarding Chunting's inquiring words with a certain tone, Juekong Feifei did not deny it, but calmly admitted his speculation.
"It seems that what the master said is good, the donor of the Spring Pavilion is really not very human, the poor monk has just arrived in the house and has not spoken a word, but the donor has seen through all his intentions."
"In that case, the poor monk will introduce himself to the donors again, but first of all, I would like to ask you to forgive the poor monk for concealing his true identity before."
Mentioning his identity, Juekong's tone became inexplicably serious, although he was in the meditation room, he still looked at the north, and his tone was full of respect.
"The poor monk's name is Juekong, but before entering the Great Xiangguo Temple, the layman's original surname was Wei, and the ancestor of the poor monk must not be unfamiliar with the benefactor, but he was the king of Xinling during the Warring States Period."
After hearing what Juekong said, Shen Lang carefully moved to my side and whispered in my ear.
"Brother Chuan, who is this Xinlingjun in his mouth, listening to his tone, he seems to be a great person, but why don't I have any impression of this name?"
And different from Shen Lang's confusion, after Juekong's self-introduction, everyone's expressions were full of shock, and even Chun Ting, who had always been calm when the sky fell, showed a trace of surprise on his face, as if he had heard something terrible.
All of a sudden, everyone looked at each other, trying to prove that they had heard correctly, and judging from everyone's reactions, the ancestor mentioned by Juekong just now was undoubtedly Xinlingjun!
Out of respect, I should have let Juekong finish his words quietly, but I really couldn't bear the surprise in my heart, and before I could continue to speak, I looked at him and reconfirmed in disbelief.
"Xinling-kun? Could it be that the ancestor of the master was Wei Wuji, the king of Xinling, who was known as one of the four gentlemen of the Warring States period during the Warring States period? ”
Although it seemed a little rude for me to suddenly open my mouth, Juekong himself knew that this matter was too shocking, and this would definitely cause us to react like this, so he didn't mind too much, but nodded to me in acknowledgment.
"Since ancient times, there have been words to avoid the venerable, so the poor monk does not dare to call the ancestor by name, but the poor monk is indeed the descendant of the Xinling monarch who is like a fake, and the donor does not need to be suspicious of this."
At this time, Shen Lang was still the only one in the room who was still dazed and ignorant, and seeing the disbelief of everyone, Shen Lang pulled my sleeve again, and the voice between the openings was extremely small.
"Brother Chuan, who is Xinlingjun, how do you feel that you are all very surprised that Master Juekong will be his descendant, is this person very famous?"
Shen Lang thought that his voice was not loud enough to escape everyone's ears, but he forgot that most of the people in this room were highly skilled people, although his voice was small, everyone could still hear it clearly.
"People who don't learn and don't know how to read more books usually ask you to read more books, but you don't listen, and when it comes to a critical time, you will come out and be embarrassed."
Because of this, before I could answer, Ling Xuan on the side walked to Shen Lang's side and said to him in an unkind tone.
"Famous? Xinlingjun is not only famous can be described, at his peak, it is not an exaggeration to even be called Megatron! ”
Seeing Ling Xuan's unkind tone, Shen Lang immediately changed his face and said with a grin.
"Master, Master, don't be angry, isn't my way to highlight your erudition even more, besides, I will definitely read more books in the future, and it will definitely not make you feel ashamed, if it weren't for the fact that the house is full of my own people, I would have pretended to know everything."
"You, you, you......"
Faced with Shen Lang's faceless appearance, Ling Xuan really didn't have any choice, he hesitated for a long time but still didn't say anything harsh, and as soon as the conversation turned to Shen Lang, he introduced Shen Lang who was the Xinling Jun who shocked us.
"The Xinling Jun mentioned by Master Juekong is Wei Wuji, this person is the prince of Wei during the Warring States Period, because he was once sealed in the land of Xinling, so later generations will respect him as Xinling Jun."
"This person is known as the Four Princes of the Warring States Period along with Chunshenjun Huang Xie, Meng Weijun Tianwen, and Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng, and is a famous military strategist of Wei during the Warring States Period, who defeated the Qin army twice in military affairs, and saved Zhao and Wei respectively.
"Xinlingjun was in the decline of the Wei State, in order to save the Wei State, so he imitated the auxiliary political methods of Meng Weijun Tianwen and Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng, recruited diners, raised thousands of soldiers, and became a force of his own.
Although Ling Xuan seemed to be kind, he was actually a blade with eyes above the top, so after hearing that he had such a high opinion of Xinling Jun, Shen Lang couldn't help but be a little surprised, and turned his gaze to me to express his doubts.
Seeing the suspicion in Shen Lang's eyes, I nodded without the slightest hesitation, and completely agreed with the evaluation given by Ling Xuan.
"What Ling Xuan said is not an exaggeration, Xinlingjun can be said to have prolonged the time of the fall of the Wei State with his own strength, if Xinlingjun can have more opportunities, then the situation in the Warring States period is very likely to be turned upside down."
Speaking of this, I looked at Juekong, and my tone unconsciously became low.
"It's a pity that although Xinlingjun is proficient in the art of war, he has been repeatedly suspicious of the King of Wei, so he has never been given a heavy responsibility, so he has to be depressed and indulge in wine, and finally died because of this, and eighteen years after his death, the Wei State was destroyed by the Qin State."
"It seems that all the benefactors are erudite people, and their evaluation of the ancestors is remarkable, and the poor monks are very pleased."
After hearing me say the ending of Xinlingjun in a low voice, Juekong was not sentimental because of this, but looked at everyone, and his tone was full of deep meaning.
"But you may not know that the place where this Great Xiangguo Temple is located now is the place where the ancestors of the poor monks were home!"
