Chapter 10 Odd Numbers
"Who are you?" Yan Shi asked vigilantly, although he already had a guess in his mind.
The mysterious man smiled coldly and said in a hoarse voice: "Who is Ben Shuai? Ben Shuai is the most feared person in the world, Zhu Wen has not done it until today, isn't he afraid of Ben Shuai?"
"The most feared person in the world?" Yan Shi suddenly spit out a name: "Bad handsome." ”
"Not bad. The bad handsome looked at him with a kind of empty eyes, "This handsome is the head of the bad people in the Tang Dynasty, the bad handsome." ”
Yan Shi sneered: "Your master is dying, but you are here to chat with me, it seems that your dog is very disobedient." ”
The air was silent.
"You're so presumptuous!"
The figure of the bad handsome is like a ghost, and it has appeared in front of Yan Shi in an instant, and one hand grabs his throat, this martial arts move seems simple, but in fact it is like a stormy wave, containing incomparable power.
"Sick!" Yan Shi gently spat out a word, his fingers changing movements at the same time, forming a strange magic seal, pressing it towards the hand.
Disheveled!
After the two True Qi forces with the power of the grand heaven and earth collided, the surrounding space seemed to be frozen, and everything was silent.
"Poof!" Yan Shi spat blood from the corner of his mouth, and his body suddenly took a few steps back, but a pair of eyes were Gu Bo was unhappy, staring coldly at the figure standing in front of him.
The bad handsome hands were behind him, his body was like Mount Tai, motionless, majestic, but Yan Shi could see that his hands in black gloves were trembling at the moment.
After a long time, there was a sudden cracking sound from the ground around them, and all the flowers and trees, as well as the masonry and rubble, all turned into powder in an instant and scattered in the air.
"It is worthy of being an outlier for a new generation, and it is really not bad to be able to do it. If you can take over the Tiangang recipe of Ben Shuai's five successes, your cultivation is not at the bottom of the Shenxiao position. A hoarse voice came from under the mask.
Hearing the word "odd number", Yan Shi's pupils shrank suddenly, and then he sneered: "My disease mark is specifically to destroy the balance of yin and yang in the body, and the effect on others may not be outstanding, but it is the most effective for your Excellency's old immortality, and the situation in your body's body at the moment is very bad." ”
Bad Shuai's eyes became cold: "Do you think that this level can hurt Ben Shuai's immortal body?"
Yan Shi said calmly: "It's not me who hurts you, but the years, no matter how strong a person is, he can't stop the power of time, your body is like a dilapidated house, it has long been decayed, at this time I only need to give you a little damage, and you will fall apart." ”
Bad Shuai said coldly: "Ben Shuai has eaten more salt than you have eaten, so let Ben Shuai fall apart?" ”
Yan Shi said indifferently: "If you don't believe it, then you can gamble." But it's a very expensive gamble, do you really want to fight with me?"
The bad handsome was silent for a moment, and sighed: "The outlier that should not appear in fate is indeed not simple. The last time Wang Mang almost subverted the Han Dynasty and reset the hundred schools, and the last time the Heavenly Demon Shang Dynasty almost subverted the world, can you surprise Ben Shuai now?"
Yan She's expression moved: "Wang Mang, business?" This guy seems to have misunderstood something.
Bad Shuai sneered: "In this world, since the battle of the deer, Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor defeated Chi You, in the past four thousand years, there will be a big era every thousand years, and an outlier will appear in every era. ”
"Three thousand years ago, in the early years of the Xia Dynasty, the anomaly befell the giant demon Wu Zhiqi, setting off a monstrous flood, fortunately King Yu was born, killed Wu Zhiqi, cast Jiuding, and set Shenzhou. ”
"Two thousand years ago, at the end of the Shang Dynasty, an anomaly descended on the king of Zhou, he incarnated as a great demon, cholera in the world, a generation of strange people Jiang Taigong came out in accordance with the mandate of heaven, assisted King Wu, and killed the heavenly demon. ”
"A thousand years ago, at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, an anomaly descended on Wang Mang, who usurped the Han Dynasty and became self-reliant, in a vain attempt to recreate the ancient flood and wilderness, and Liu Xiu, the Guangwu Emperor, rose up in response to the mandate of heaven. In the first battle of Kunyang, meteorites fell from the sky, destroying Wang Mang's million-strong army, and the new dynasty was destroyed. ”
The corners of Yan She's mouth twitched, and he calculated in his heart: "The Xia Dynasty was established in 2070 BC, the Shang Dynasty died in 1046 BC, and the New Dynasty fell in 23 AD, which is really almost a thousand years ......."
Even now, 904 A.D., it seems to be almost a thousand years, and a thousand years later, it also happens to be the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China.
It's really a troubled time every thousand years.
Yan Shi, who has a better history, has nothing to say at this moment.
Is it really fate?
But the odd number mentioned by himself and the bad handsome should not be the same, right?
The bad handsome said hoarsely: "The anomaly of this era, Ben Shuai has already determined, but why did you appear?"
Yan Shi thought for a while, and said solemnly: "Maybe God dozed off and made a mistake." ”
Bad Shuai sneered: "How can a simple mistake give birth to a god-level supreme being, which old immortal reincarnation are you?
He had an astonishing murderous aura on his body, and at the same time a deep sense of jealousy.
Yan Shi thought for a while, and said solemnly: "Since you have found out, then I can't hide it, my original name is Shi Zhixuan, but I am from the Sui Dynasty, when people gave me the nickname of the evil king, with the mastery of the immortal seal method, I did a lot of bad things in my early years, and then I realized it and escaped into the empty door......"
Before he finished speaking, the bad handsome snorted coldly: "Ben Shuai was born in the Sui Dynasty, why didn't I hear of you in the first place?"
Yan Shi touched his head and coughed: "Oops, it's my mistake, in fact, my nickname is 'Evil Emperor', a native of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, formerly known as Xiang Yutian, and the mastery is the Dao Heart Demon Cultivation Dafa......"
"That's enough!" the bad handsome drank coldly, "Ben Shuai doesn't want to see you pretend to be crazy and stupid." ”
Yan Shi's expression also turned cold: "Since you know that I am pretending to be crazy and stupid, then don't be really stupid enough to think that I will reveal my details to you." ”
"No matter who you are, I hope you don't make enemies of Ben Shuai. The figure of the bad handsome suddenly became nothing, "This world is very big and can accommodate all living beings, but this world is actually very small, and sometimes it can't accommodate two people coexisting." ”
"If it really can't accommodate two people, it won't be you. Yan Shi said lightly.
The bad handsomeness is gone.
At this time, a fire suddenly broke out in the palace, and the blazing flames burned the palace and burned the last gas of the Tang Dynasty.
The Tang Dynasty is dead.
"Help!" "Don't kill me!" ......
One by one, the palace maids and eunuchs ran desperately, roaring loudly, full of despair, but they couldn't escape the butcher's knife of death.
Even if they are the most noble emperors, they are also bleeding in the Jiao Lan Hall at this moment, what are they who are lowly?
"A person can live in any way, but he must not live a humble life!" Looking at this scene, Yan Shi said slowly, and then fell into deep thought.
The bad handsome words gave him a further understanding of the so-called destiny of this world, and the calamity that occurs once in a thousand years is by no means ordinary.
The battle of the Yellow Emperor Chiyou laid the foundation of Chinese civilization; King Yu ruled the flood, fixed Kyushu, and opened the world; King Wu cut down the ancient wilderness, and opened up a hundred schools of thought.
These are all major events that will have a profound impact on future generations.
As for the subsequent usurpation of the Han Dynasty by Wang Mang, it seems that the impact on later generations is not as significant as that of Qin Shi Huang to dominate the world, but in fact it is the final encapsulation of the previous 1,000 years of history.
It was the last battle of a hundred schools of thought, and the martial arts of the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty were passed down through the ages, affecting the next two thousand years.
It seems that most of the hundred schools of thought have disappeared after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed the hundred schools, but they have existed for hundreds of years after all, and they cannot be wiped out simply.
In the hundred years after Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, hundreds of schools of thought still existed, and Confucianism, which gradually flourished, lost its power in the temple but flourished in another form among the people, turning Taoism into Taoism, and Buddhism that had just been introduced......
Those forces in the last years of the Western Han Dynasty carried out a shocking collision, this is Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty inside, after the Eastern Han Dynasty, it formed a situation of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism three religions side by side, the next two thousand years have not been shaken, the sons of the hundred schools of thought have completely disappeared in history.
There is a saying that has spread widely - the general trend of the world will be together for a long time.
This sentence seems to be very correct, but in fact it was completely established after the Eastern Han Dynasty, before that, the Chinese people were not a whole, there were so many countries in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, each with its own language and writing, and it was not a civilization at all, just like the later China, the United States, France, and Russia, can you say that they are a whole?
At most, metaphysical is the belief that they are all part of humanity.
Until the Qin Emperor swept Liuhe, unified China in form, and then the Western Han Dynasty glued together in terms of ideology and other aspects, the merit of the Qin Emperor and Han Wu lies in the fact that they gathered these countries that were not a whole into one name, "Han".
A big man.
And Wang Mang's usurpation of the Han Dynasty and the establishment of the Eastern Han Dynasty after that were the final completion of these feats, which were of great significance not inferior to the union of the Yandi tribe and the Yellow Emperor tribe, creating the name of Yanhuang.
Confucianism rose to prominence at that time.
Taoism took shape and developed at that time.
Buddhism came into circulation at that time.
Accept hundreds of schools, enlighten the three religions, the root of civilization in later generations.
Only those who do not know the history of Chinese thought will look down on that history.
As for the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, this history is also a turning point, it is the beginning of the Han nation from prosperity to decline, a thousand years before it, whether it is the starting point of the Han Empire or the end of the Tang Empire, it is a majestic power, the center of the world.
But after five dynasties and ten kingdoms, the Song Dynasty that inherited it was abused by the Khitan, Jurchen, and Mongols in turn, and the sixteen states of Yanyun fell for 400 years, and there was no China after Yashan.
It wasn't until Emperor Hongwu that he regained a little dignity, but after the fall of the Ming Dynasty, he was devastated by the "Qing Dynasty" for three hundred years, and then it was even more abused by foreign invaders and the Eight-Nation Alliance.
Until the end of that millennium, the Emperor of Heaven set foot on the heroic call, and the light shone on Kyushu, sweeping away all the ghosts, snakes and gods.
Thus it is a new millennium.
Thousands of years and thousands of years, everything is like reincarnation, is it really a fate?
"Boss, where did you just go?" Zong Ling and the others saw Yan Shi and came over here, "We have killed several so-called Fengzi Dragon Suns, and they are no different from others, so I think they are so special." ”
Yan Shi looked at the past lightly: "In this world, there has always been only the difference between the strong and the weak, and the only difference between the weak is - weak and very weak. The prince will have a kind of Xiangning, and only the strong and strong will do it. ”
That sentence was actually not what Yan Shi said, but what a general named An Chongrong said during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, which explained the essence of this era.
This is an era where there is no order, no etiquette, no morality, only the naked law of the jungle.
In five dynasties and ten kingdoms, almost every monarch rose to power by killing his master, father, and brother, and they were eventually replaced by their own subordinates.
This is also why Zhao Kuangyin later knew that the emphasis on literature and suppression of military force would lead to the army's combat effectiveness and the country's humiliation, so he had to do it.
It's just that the lessons of this era have taught him too much and are too painful.
But he didn't know that this decision was the beginning of a thousand years of ruin.
Jiang Renjie and the other five Yan Jun came over: "Li Ye's ten sons, except for the ninth son Li Zuo, the others have been verified to be dying. ”
"Are they all really dead?" Yan Shi's eyes moved, and he sensed that in a corner of the palace, an old man fled outside in a panic with a child.
"Li Xingyun, will you be another outlier from what the bad handsome said?"
PS: Ahem, Ning Jing himself likes history more, so this chapter talks a lot about Ning Jing's views on history, which is purely a personal summary, not a serious one.
It's a pity that Ning Jing is not good at that kind of theme, otherwise the content of this chapter can actually be used as a historical fantasy background setting of Montenegro.
A thousand years of reincarnation, it's still very touching to say.
