Chapter 270: Mandate of Heaven?
People want to last a long time, and the foundation wants to last forever.
Such a dream often proves to be a delusion, but no matter how false the idea is, most people still have expectations for it.
Yuan Hao is not a ruthless and desireless God, so he naturally hopes for this. It's just that as a traveler, a person who walks the heavens, he understands that he wants to get as close to this point as possible, not by praying, but by his own strength. In terms of institutional soundness, the cultivation of outstanding heirs is the most important of this.
For this, both Xiongba and Dugu understand very well. It's just that they understand it, but they don't rush to do it. Because they are very confident in their own strength. Although they don't believe in the immortality of gods and demons, they believe that with their martial arts, if nothing happens, they will definitely be able to live a long life.
Since you can live a long life, time is nothing to you. I'm only forty or fifty years old, not even sixty, so why think about it so much.
Moreover, Xiongba has Qin Shuang by his side, and Dugu Ming on Dugu's side, they are all rising stars in the rivers and lakes, and they can carry their foundation after some training - they are naturally not very concerned about this.
For them, it is normal to defeat each other and achieve their own hegemony in the world.
For the sake of the four words of hegemony in the world, Xiongba and Dugu are willing to do whatever it takes. What feelings, what righteousness, what reputation...... These things that ordinary people value are really ridiculous in the eyes of the heroes and the lonely side. They are all heroes, and almost without exception they are consequentialists.
It's just that the dominant and the lonely side are different. Compared with the lonely party who is like a hypocrite, Xiongba pays more attention to rules and is more superstitious.
It is rumored that the reason why Xiongba founded the Tianxia Association was because of the approval of the world's first phase master, the mud bodhisattva: how can the golden scales be a thing in the pool, and the dragon changes when it encounters the wind and clouds.
The wind is Nie Feng!
The clouds are the clouds!
With the dominance in hand, it is naturally invincible.
However, this is only the first half of Xiongba's life, as for the second half of his life, Xiongba didn't ask, so the fifty years have passed Xiongba's search for the mud bodhisattva, and finally found him.
The Mud Bodhisattva was found by Xiongba's disciples, but on the way to the Tianxia Society, he was robbed by a man in black with strong martial arts.
Gains and losses, Qin Shuang was very frustrated about this. He returned to the Tianxiahui and asked Xiongba for this matter, but Xiongba did not blame Qin Shuang for this. He comforted Qin Shuang with kind words, making the situation grateful.
He didn't notice at all that the person who attacked him and snatched the mud bodhisattva was seven or eight points similar to this hero.
didn't even notice that after sending Qin Shuang away, Xiongba actually took his cronies Wen Chouchou to a cave in the mountain behind the Tianxia Hui, and saw the mud bodhisattva he had captured.
The mud bodhisattva, the first phase master in the world, is the second person who has read the Heavenly Crying Sutra today, and is the best at revealing the heavenly machine and judging people's fate.
This name was typed out by him again and again, and it was also the origin of his appearance of being covered with thick sores and pus.
Of course, such an abominable appearance, with an indescribable stench all over his body, is unbearable for everyone. But the male hegemon of the world will be, this peerless hero does not have any disgusting color.
He looked at the mud bodhisattva calmly and laughed deeply: "Mud bodhisattva, we haven't seen each other for ten years. Now, it's time for you to tell me the rest of my life!"
"The male gang leader is so desperate to know...... Then please bring me the life box I gave you ten years ago. This life box is made by Persian craftsmen, with a combination of clever mechanisms and heaven and earth, and the end is extremely fine, and the male gang leader must have been in a hurry over the years. The mud bodhisattva smiled miserably and said slowly.
"Hey......" Xiongba sneered, and didn't say anything more.
He also invited countless skilled craftsmen to try to open this life box, but in the end he couldn't do anything. Because the mud bodhisattva had explained in advance that the gunpowder hidden in this life box must not be strong, so after finding that it could not be cracked, Xiongba could only give up.
Now, at last, it's time to open it up.
What is the fate of his own? Xiongba is still a little apprehensive in his heart.
However, as the boss of the World Association, he has cultivated a majesty for more than ten years.
Under the operation of the mud bodhisattva, with the sound of a machine turning, the originally tightly sealed life box suddenly opened, and a scroll was presented inside.
"This is ......," the hero stared at the mud bodhisattva tightly, taking out the scroll in the life box.
"This is the approval of the male gang leader in the second half of his life. The mud bodhisattva said calmly.
"Oh!" Xiongba responded, and immediately took the scroll from the mud bodhisattva's hand, and opened it with anticipation, only to see fourteen big characters written on the scroll in thick ink: "The dragon chant in the nine heavens is shocking, and the wind and clouds will swim in shallow water." ”
"What does this mean?" Looking at these fourteen big characters, Xiongba suddenly had some bad feelings in his heart.
"Are you referring to my two apprentices, Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun?" he asked in a deep voice.
Since ancient times, strong ministers are weak, and it is inevitable to ......" the mud bodhisattva said calmly, as if shaking his head with emotion.
"Hmph, success is also the wind and clouds, defeat is also the wind and clouds, my world will be destroyed by the wind and clouds?" Xiongba couldn't accept this result and suddenly said coldly: "Do you think I will believe this?
Originally, it was supposed to be "majestic and high-spirited", but combined with his consistent practice of listening to numerology, Xiongba's words sounded particularly funny.
However, no one here can laugh out loud, Wen Chouchou will not be like this as a henchman of the male tyrant, and it is even more impossible for him to laugh at the mud bodhisattva - with the current condition of his body, he is afraid that even if he is laughing, it looks like he is crying.
However, he was a bold man after all, and although he couldn't laugh out loud, he still said out of place: "People in the world are always like this, they obey what they like, and they don't believe what they don't believe if they are not good...... Hey!"
"You ......" Hearing the words of the mud bodhisattva, the anger in the heart of the male bully rose, he sneered and flashed in front of the mud bodhisattva, restrained the mud bodhisattva, and then handed it over to his subordinates to be imprisoned.
"Mud Bodhisattva, don't you believe in your destiny, you can live well there, and see how I crack your destiny!" the male bully laughed wildly and walked away.
Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun are both his apprentices, and the relationship between master and apprentice over the past few years has made him understand them very well, and naturally understand their respective personalities and weaknesses.
Xiongba is a hero. The biggest characteristic of Xiaoxiong is that he will not be at ease. For a few of his apprentices, even Qin Shuang, who he trusted the most, he kept a hand, not to mention Bu Jingyun and Nie Feng.
Since he learned from the mouth of the mud bodhisattva that Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun were his great enemies in the second half of his life, the male lord decided to deal with them.
Soon, new news spread in the rivers and lakes. It was issued by the Tianxia Association - on the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15, Xiongba planned to marry his righteous daughter Kong Ci to his eldest apprentice, Qin Shuang, the master of Tianshuang Hall.
"Hah...... It seems that a series of big dramas are about to unfold. Hearing the news reported by Xu Yang, Yuan Hao, who was still dining in the Yellow Crane Tower at the time, muttered this.
"What?" Xu Yang was surprised. He couldn't have imagined how this news was connected to the so-called big drama.
"Is there anything going to happen to this wedding......? The world will be so strong now, it is already the largest force in the world, and who dares to show them face on the day of the great joy. Xu Yang asked puzzled.
"Hehe, the world will be strong, the rivers and lakes will bow down, and outsiders will naturally not give Xiongba a good look. But outsiders don't dare, but it means insiders don't dare...... Woe to Xiao Wall, Xiongba has already begun to cut off his two apprentices. Yuan Hao said with a smile.
"Alas...... Cut off his own apprentice?" Xu Yang was even more surprised by this, "No, his apprentice has made a lot of contributions to him over the years." ”
"Credit, threat, threat! The hero will not let you go just because you have merit, as long as your existence threatens him, he will not hesitate to kill you. He is a hero, and the heroes are ruthless. Yuan Hao said and picked up a piece of delicious fish meat on a plate of braised Wuchang fish in front of him, put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully, with a satisfied smile on his face.
The age of the Fengyun world is not known to Yuan Hao in the orthodox history, although it is ancient, but it seems to be a relatively late season, all kinds of spices, condiments and cooking methods have been completed in this world. At least the chef in this Yellow Crane Tower cooks much more wonderful food than the chefs in his house.
For this plate of braised Wuchang fish, Yuan Hao still likes it very much, and he can't help but eat a few more bites after saying that, and his interest is also rising.
"Owner, tell me about it yourself!" Xu Yang was also a clever and courageous person, and he asked in a low voice when he saw that Yuan Hao was eating happily.
"Look at the person Xiongba married this time. Marry Kong Ci to Qin Shuang...... He's trying to force a backstep. Yuan Hao sighed quietly.
"This ...... How to talk about it?" Xu Yang was puzzled.
"Think about the dossiers we brought from Wushuang City, and recall the rumors in them about the three major disciples of the Tianxia Society. Although many of them are trivial, some things can be seen from these little things. Yuan Hao reminded him with a smile.
Because of Mingyue, the grandmother of the Ming family pulled a large amount of supplies from Yuan Hao's base when she was from Wushuang City. As an exchange of courtesies, Yuan Hao also found the confidential vault of Wushuang Mansion under the guidance of the Ming family's grandmother, and obtained the intelligence files on the various major sects on the rivers and lakes collected by the Dugu party at the beginning.
These files are really a pile of garbage that occupies space for the grandmother of the Ming family who has no heart to mix the rivers and lakes, but for Yuan Hao, who is ambitious and ambitious, these files are naturally priceless treasures that money can't buy.
After Yuan Hao obtained these files, while carefully checking the contents of them, he handed over the files he had already read to Xu Yang for sorting and archiving. It can be said that in the entire Heavenly Mountain Villa, apart from Yuan Hao, the only one who can understand all the files is Xu Yang.
Since Xu Yang had seen these things, he was reminded by Yuan Hao now, and naturally quickly recalled the key to them: Kong Ci, the righteous daughter of the hero, grew up with Qin Shuang, Nie Feng, and Bu Jingyun. The relationship between the four is somewhat complicated. Kong Ci likes Nie Feng, Bu Jingyun likes Kong Ci again, and now Xiongba has married Kong Ci to Qin Shuang.
"Hey...... The relationship between these four people is really ......," Xu Yang couldn't help but smack his tongue when he recalled this.
Just as he was amazed, Yuan Hao asked him another question: "Ah Yang, what kind of person do you think Bu Jingyun is?"
"This ......" Xu Yang pondered for a while, and quickly flashed the information about Bu Jingyun in his mind, and thought about it: "I haven't seen Bu Jingyun, and everyone in the rivers and lakes says that he doesn't cry death, and he is a rather ruthless person. However, in my intelligence, he is cold, but not ruthless. On the contrary, he hides his feelings in the depths of his heart, and he is a more introverted person. ”
"The face is cold and the heart is hot...... I'm afraid this can be used to describe the step of the clouds. Yuan Hao muttered to himself.
"It should be so, that's right!" Xu Yang nodded heavily.
"The face is cold and the heart is hot, cold but not ruthless...... Such a person is emotional, but when he is emotional, he is a landslide, the ground cracks, and the waves crash on the shore. Yuan Hao narrowed his eyes slightly: "Such a step, you said that he would let him watch his beloved woman marry someone else - even if that person is his senior brother who grew up, he would agree?"
"This ......" Hearing Yuan Hao say this, Xu Yang couldn't help but gasp. However, he still hesitated: "Even if he doesn't agree, what can he do? This arrangement was given by his master, would he dare to betray his master?"
The world of Fengyun is still ancient China, although the warriors are in charge, but generally follow the ancient Chinese ethics, that is, the set of the Three Principles and Five Constants.
Although most capable people regard these as farts, for Xu Yang, who is quite a little white, betraying his master is still too unimaginable.
Regarding Xu Yang's horror, Yuan Hao smiled faintly, but said something else: "Do you remember what happened in Huojiazhuang, Hangzhou a few years ago?"
"Will the world exterminate Huojiazhuang?" As soon as Xu Yang heard Yuan Hao talk about it, he immediately turned out a file about this matter in his mind: "The world will destroy Huojiazhuang on the grounds that Huojiazhuang is unwilling to be attached, and this matter is regarded as the first battle of the world going south in the rivers and lakes." Since then, Wushuang City has felt the threat of the Tianxia Society, and the two sides have been in constant confrontation, until four years later, the Dugu side of the Tianxia Society formed an alliance with it, and the conflict between the two sides came to an end. ”
"What you are talking about is the incident of Huojiazhuang and its subsequent impact on the rivers and lakes. Yuan Hao shook his head with a smile, but said mysteriously: "You know this, but you don't know that Bu Jingyun has another name." ”
"Another name?" Xu Yang was a little curious.
"His name is Huo Jingjue!" Yuan Hao said lightly.
"Huo Jingjue, could he be ......" Xu Yang's eyes widened.
"He is the stepson of Huo Butian, the owner of Huojiazhuang!" Yuan Hao said calmly enough to make the Jianghu people shock.
"In this way......" Xu Yang understood everything.
"The world will be chaotic!" Yuan Hao laughed: "The world will be chaotic, the rivers and lakes will also be chaotic, we should also prepare." ”
