Chapter 17: Parting Ways, Two Sects of Heaven and Man
Xianyang.
Lu Fu.
At this time, it is night.
The house is brightly lit.
In the study.
Qin State Prime Minister Lu Buwei is still reading at night.
Since Lü Buwei became the prime minister of Qin, this Lü Mansion has always been the most sought after place in the center of Qin, and many people come to Lü Mansion every day to ask to see Lü Buwei.
It is only at night that it can be cleaner.
Lü Buwei's power leaned towards the government and the opposition, and he became the most powerful minister in the world from a businessman, which can be said to have reached the peak of fame and fortune in this world.
Lü Buwei paid homage to the marquis in the Qin State and became a big man under one person in the Qin State and above ten thousand people.
However, Lü Buwei's face didn't seem to show any joy.
I saw him frowning slightly, looking at the bamboo slip in his hand, not knowing what he was thinking.
At this moment, the candle flame in the study flickered.
Suddenly, there was a dark shadow in the study.
The black shadow was hidden in the darkness, and it seemed to be wearing Qin Ruishi's unique armor.
Lu Buwei put down the bamboo slip in his hand, sighed slightly, and said, "You are here, how is the situation?" ”
The black shadow was hidden in the darkness and did not move, but the two swords in his hands seemed to glow with a ghostly light.
"Xiangbang, everything is still under control."
Lü Buwei said: "How is the king? ”
The black shadow said: "The king is unharmed, and the king has been ambushed." ”
"Wang Shang has made a detour from Wusui and returned to Xianyang, and it will take about half a month to reach Xianyang."
Lü Buwei said: "Oh? ”
"Is it Gai Nie who protects the king?"
"Let's talk about it in detail."
The black shadow said: "Qi Xiangbang, when the king was in Xinzheng, Ba Linglong had already been destroyed before he saw the king's people. ”
"The surname of the person who killed Ba Linglong is Ye, and he is suspected to be from the Ghost Valley."
"Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang are both disciples of him."
"Some people say it's Guiguzi himself."
"However, this is still in doubt."
"The king also seems to respect him very much, calling him Mr. Ye, in the Wusui camp, the king can be safe and worry-free, this person is indispensable."
"The news from the Wusui army, this person's strength is unfathomable, and he is not an ordinary person."
Lu Buwei nodded and muttered.
"Guiguzi ......"
Then he asked, "What about the Xuanjian people?" ”
The black shadow said: "Xuan Jian is dead. ”
Lu Buwei nodded and said, "A sword has its own ideas and betrays its master, it really deserves to die." ”
"However, have you found out, this time, who instructed Xuan Jian to go to Xinzheng to assassinate the king."
The black shadow said: "Xiangbang, this matter should be inseparable from Changping Jun." ”
Lu Buwei stood up, paced in the room with his hands in his hands, and said, "Changping Jun Qi ......"
The black shadow said: "Xiangbang, Changpingjun has always wanted to seize control of the net. ”
"Over the years, he has secretly planned a lot of things."
"This trip, the five countries jointly attack Qin, it is already a sure thing."
"Changping Jun attacked the king at this time, and his intentions can not be described as vicious."
Lu Buwei's left hand gently touched his belly, only to see that his eyes were shining, and said, "The power of the net is not something that anyone can control if they want to. ”
"Even if it is his true appearance, he does not dare to say that he can completely control the net."
"Changping Jun Qiqi is nothing, the most important thing is the old demon woman Huayang Empress Dowager who is standing behind Changping Jun."
"The Chu system has a deep foundation in the Qin State, and thirty percent of the power in the net is controlled by the Chu system."
"The Empress Dowager Huayang is the backbone of the Chu family."
"Over the years, the old demon woman of the Empress Dowager Huayang seems to be living in seclusion in the palace and ignoring the outside affairs, but in fact, she is very concerned about the affairs of the Qin State."
"Since the death of Chang'an Jun Chengcheng, the Empress Dowager Huayang has always secretly hated her own appearance."
"However, although the Empress Dowager Huayang doesn't like the king, it is related to the Qin State, and she should not be the main messenger behind it."
"If Cheng Chan is still alive, the assassination of the king may still be planned by her."
"But Cheng Chan is dead, even if she kills the king, there is no one in the Chu family to support her, she shouldn't do such a stupid thing."
"It seems that this time, it is really something that Changping Jun Qiqi did."
"Before, I underestimated him."
Speaking of this, Lü Buwei suddenly looked at the black shadow and said, "Cover the sun!" ”
The dark shadow replied: "Please give orders to Xiangbang!" ”
Lü Buwei paced in the study and said, "You continue to inquire about the king's news and pay attention to that Mr. Ye." ”
"My subordinates understand!"
The voice fell, and the black shadow completely disappeared into the study, as if it had never appeared.
Lü Buwei looked out the window, and the bright moon hung high in the night sky.
Lü Buwei's eyes sparkled.
"Mi Qi, Mi Qi, I hope you can hide a little longer."
"I want to see how many other means you have."
……
The autumn breeze is bleak, and the afterglow of the setting sun sways between the flat rivers.
Above the flat river, a chariot and horse are parked by a river, and the horses are drinking from the river.
This is already the tenth day after Ye Qianqiu and the three of them left the Wusui camp.
They didn't come this way, not fast, but not slow either.
After the incident of Wang Ji in the Wusui camp, on the way, they did not go to the crowded place, but brought dry food from the Wusui camp and marched all the way to Xianyang.
The three of them had been on a road for a day, and they happened to come across the river, so they stopped, drank their horses, and rested.
At this time, Ye Qianqiu asked Gai Nie on the side of the carriage, "Nie'er, there are still a few days to go to Xianyang." ”
Gai Nie hugged the long sword and said, "Sir, there is less than a day to go." ”
Hearing this, Ye Qianqiu nodded, and said, "Since that's the case, then let's leave it at that." ”
Hearing this, although Gai Nie's face was still calm, there was still a bit of reluctance in his eyes.
"Sir, I don't know when I will see you again today."
Gai Nie said towards Ye Qianqiu.
When Ye Qianqiu heard this, he smiled slightly and said, "Nie'er, there is no feast in the world. ”
"Coming out of South Korea, we have been together all the way, and we have been together for more than a month."
"Right now, Xianyang is coming, I won't go to Xianyang, I plan to go to Taiyi Mountain to have a look, and find a way to visit friends."
Hearing this, Gai Nie bowed his head slightly, and said, "Since Mr. is going to Taiyi Mountain to seek a way to visit friends, then it is naturally inconvenient for me to stay with Mr. more, and please take care of Mr." ”
Hearing this, Ye Qianqiu nodded with a smile.
At this time, Ying Zheng, who was standing not far away, looked at Ye Qianqiu with his hand and said, "Sir, don't you really stay in Xianyang for a few days?" ”
Ye Qianqiu smiled slightly and said, "Young Master Shang doesn't need to persuade anymore. ”
"When you arrive in Xianyang, Shang Gongzi will return to the palace, and there won't be any big problems."
"Judging from the news that has been investigated along the way in the past few days, Marquis Wenxin has no intention of moving the three clans of Wang Di, and he should still be waiting for Shang Gongzi to return to Xianyang before making a decision."
"Marquis Wenxin's heart is still towards the Qin State, and the crisis of the prince has been solved for the time being."
"Since entering the Qin Kingdom, I have experienced a lot of Qin scenery along the way."
"Xianyang City, I will definitely go in the future."
"When I arrive in Xianyang in the coming day, Shang Gongzi will definitely know, and when the time comes, I will talk to Shang Gongzi about reasoning."
When Ying Zheng heard this, he bowed his head slightly, and arched his hand towards Ye Qianqiu: "Mr. Guidance and support, Ying Zheng is unforgettable." ”
"When Mr. arrives in Xianyang, he must let Yingzheng know."
Ye Qianqiu smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, Xianyang, I will definitely go." ”
With that, Ye Qianqiu arched his hand towards Ying Zheng and Gai Nie, and then turned around and left with a smile.
Xianyang, the capital of Qin, is located in the hinterland of Qinchuan for 800 miles, Weishui passes through the south, the mountains are in the north, and the mountains and rivers are yang, so it is called Xianyang.
Taiyi Mountain is Zhongnan Mountain, not too far from Xianyang, this place is close to Taiyi Mountain.
Therefore, Ye Qianqiu parted ways with Yingzheng and Gai Nie here and went to Taiyi Mountain alone.
Ying Zheng watched Ye Qianqiu leave, and he was still a little stunned in his heart.
Gai Nie packed his bags and said to Yingzheng: "Your Majesty, it's time for us to set off." ”
Ying Zheng nodded and got into the carriage.
Gai Nie drove the carriage in the direction of Xianyang City.
The sand is rising, and the autumn breeze has brought a hint of coolness.
……
……
Taiyi Mountain is Zhongnan Mountain.
Zhongnan Mountain is not a strange place for Ye Qianqiu.
However, at the moment in Zhongnan Mountain, in the middle of this world, Ye Qianqiu came for the first time.
Taiyi Mountain is the ancestral garden of Taoism.
There have been many Taoist sages who preached the Dharma and preached in Taiyi Mountain.
When Ye Qianqiu was in the Ghost Valley, he had seen some information about Taiyi Mountain.
As the ancestral court of Taoism, Taiyi Mountain has always played a pivotal role in this troubled era.
Among the hundreds of schools, Taoism is a very ancient existence.
Taoism has its origins in the hermit tradition of ancient times.
The founder, Lao Tzu, retreated in Hangu to write the Tao Te Ching, advocating that he should achieve the highest state of integration of all things through his own cultivation.
Five hundred years ago, the Yin-Yang sect split from Taoism.
About 300 years ago, Taoism was divided into two sects, heaven and man, because of different philosophies.
Even after such divisions again and again, the status of Taoist people in the rivers and lakes is still very high.
Status comes from strength.
There are not many Taoist people who show their reputation in the rivers and lakes, but all of them are powerful people.
In the past 20 years, the people of Taoism have shown their fame in the rivers and lakes, and they are undoubtedly the head of the Taoist Tianzong, Chi Songzi, and the head of the Taoist sect, Xiaoyaozi.
Compared with the Human Sect, the people of the Heavenly Sect seem to have more people on the rivers and lakes, but not much.
In addition to the head of the Taoist Heavenly Sect, there are six elders of the Heavenly Sect, and there is also a Northern Immortal, which seems to be a little higher than the generation of the Red Songzi.
The influence of Taoism is very great, even the first generation of Guiguzi Wang Chan is also a cultivator, but he has learned a lot and finally stands on his own.
Confucius, the first sage of Confucianism, also asked Lao Tzu, the founder of Taoism, for teaching.
After Ye Qianqiu moved away from the sight of ordinary people, he flew up and looked around along Taiyi Mountain.
Taiyi Mountain is composed of many peaks, and Ye Qianqiu came to Taiyi Mountain to see how many hidden masters there are in the two sects of Taoism, Heaven and Man.
If there are enough masters of the Taoist Heavenly and Human Sects, then he doesn't mind integrating the Taoist Heavenly and Human Sects.
Ye Qianqiu flew over Taiyi Mountain for half a day, shuttling through the sea of clouds, and had a different experience.
At this moment, Ye Qianqiu could only hear the shouts of someone on the hill in front of him.
Ye Qianqiu looked through the clouds, and saw that under the clouds, the golden light was flashing, and it was colorful.
I only heard someone shouting: "The boss will win!" ”
"The boss will win!"
Ye Qianqiu fell from the clouds and walked towards the place where the voices were buzzing.
I saw that on the high platform of that mountain peak, dozens of people in green shirts and robes were gathering around the high platform.
Among those people were young, old, and even young and beautiful women.
The elderly ones all look like fairy wind bones, quite charming.
The young ones are also extraordinary, all of them are introverted.
Ye Qianqiu landed on the top of the mountain not far away, looking at each other from afar.
I saw that on the high platform, there were two people fighting.
These two people are both characters with wide robes and big sleeves, and they are like fairy bones.
It's just that one of them is a little younger, about fifty years old, and his hair is half white.
The other was much older, about seventy years old.
These two people have extraordinary bearings, and at first glance they are both accomplished cultivators.
I saw the two of them holding swords in their hands, and around their bodies, the floating light was shining and incomparably bright.
The long sword swings in the floating light, it seems to be a sword move, but it can drive the power of heaven and earth, it is really not an ordinary swordsmanship.
At this time, I could only hear the slightly younger fifty-year-old man speaking aloud to the other, a slightly older seventy-year-old man.
"Senior Brother Changshengzi, your rejuvenation of all things still can't break my heaven and earth."
"The rejuvenation of all things is considered a cracking move that has lost the color of heaven and earth."
"However, Senior Brother, your internal strength is still slightly inferior to mine after all."
"Senior brother, it seems that in the next five years, Xue Ji will be in charge of my Heavenly Sect."
When the elder heard this, his face showed displeasure, and he could only hear him snort and say, "Senior Brother Chi Songzi, the sword fighting method is not over yet. ”
"Who is in charge of Xueji, it is not yet known!"
As he spoke, he saw the old man raise his right hand, his index and middle fingers together, and golden light lingered from his fingertips, swaying towards the fifty-year-old man.
The golden light filled the entire high platform in an instant, and an extremely powerful momentum rose into the sky.
Ye Qianqiu felt this strong momentum, and said secretly in his heart: "Could it be that I happened to meet the day of the five-year Great Competition of the Two Sects of Heaven and Man?" ”
Since Taoism was divided into two sects of heaven and man, the two sects of heaven and man have always been against each other, in order to compete for the sword of the original Taoist gate "Xue Ji".
The two sides agreed to compete every five years, and the winner could take charge of "Xueji".
At this moment, I only heard the red pine nut shouting, and said: "Since Senior Brother Changshengzi doesn't cry when he doesn't see the coffin, he insists on fighting until the last moment." ”
"Then the junior brother has no choice but to exert his strength!"
As soon as the words fell, I saw Chi Songzi holding a sword in one hand and pinching the trick in the other.
Suddenly, on the high platform, the golden light faded.
The color of black and white instantly enveloped the high platform, as if there was no color between heaven and earth at this moment.
And with the spread of this black and white color.
I saw that the red pine nut flew up, the sword light flew by, between the lightning and flint, it seemed that time had stopped, and his sword had reached the chest of the eldest son!
Zheng!
The Elder Son sits his sword across his chest.
A strong aura erupted from the tip of Chi Songzi's sword.
For a while, the eldest son couldn't support it, and flew out directly under the high platform.
At this time, I saw the disciples and elders of the two sects of heaven and man around the high platform, with different expressions.
The young disciples of the Heavenly Sect cheered, and some of the older ones had smiles on their faces.
And the disciples of the Human Sect were all ugly and depressed.
At this time, Chi Songzi, who could only hear the high platform, collected the sword light, and arched his hand towards the eldest son who had fallen under the high platform, and said, "Senior brother Changshengzi, I have accepted it!" ”
"In the next five years, this Xue Ji will be in the hands of my Heavenly Sect!"
As he spoke, he saw the red pine nut laughing and flying out from the high platform, flying towards a three-zhang high column in front of the high platform.
I saw that at the top of the cylinder, there was a long sword with a dark body, and on the sword body, the light was shining, as if waiting for someone who was destined.
A smile appeared on Chi Songzi's face, and she looked complacent.
Just when he was about to raise his hand to pull off the Xue Ji, which symbolized the authenticity of Taoism, with one hand.
I saw that the snow mist suddenly shone brightly, and there were bursts of divine light, and it suddenly flew up from the top of the column and flew towards the clouds.
Red Songzi's face froze, his eyes paused, and he looked into the clouds.
I saw a figure falling from the clouds, and Xue Ji was flying around the figure, as if he had a spiritual intelligence.
