Chapter 316: Turning Point

At the same time that Gu Wen was fighting with the real people of Xuanbing Palace in Wenying Square, in the Chongwen Hall of the Imperial City, there was a secret conversation between Chu Emperor Xiang Yan and Seventh Princess Xiang Mingyue. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Xiang Mingyue's pretty face was not as gentle as usual. She asked solemnly: "Father, Gu Wen can be described as a real national soldier, and it would be a pity to give up like this." ”

"Although the three major sects are powerful, this is our royal territory after all. If we really want to fight hard, we may not be afraid of the three cases. What's more, this is a mortal world after all, and the three sects don't dare to be too unscrupulous. ”

Although Chu Emperor Xiang Yan had a neat appearance, there was a slight trace of tiredness in his eyes, and he nodded: "Mingyue, you are right. We are opposed to and merged with the three major sects. The three cases did not dare to start a dispute easily. ”

"But what happened to Gu Wen is not just about the three cases, but about the basic political structure that affects our entire continent. ”

Xiang Mingyue was a little puzzled: "Although the inventions made by Gu Wen are novel and powerful, they won't have such a big impact, right? Could it be the concept of 'Qingyun people' who ignore the equality of classes?"

"There is no big problem with the Qingyun people's statement, after all, equality is based on strength. No matter how equal a commoner is, it is impossible to really affect the status of a samurai. Xiang Yan shook his head:

"What's really dangerous is what Gu Wen is designing. ”

Xiang Mingyue frowned and said, "Could it be those strange iron boats, cannons, and diesel engines?" Although these things are peculiar and seem to be very powerful, they can only be used in naval combat. It couldn't be better against invasions from the outer continents. ”

"Is it because these things belong to the so-called science and technology system?" Xiang Mingyue suddenly felt a little stunned.

"Exactly. Xiang Yan nodded and said: "In the royal vault, a chaotic period in ancient history is recorded. In the vast majority of historical records, this period is vague or simply false. ”

"In fact, that period was a time when there was a serious conflict between our mainstream Xianwu system and the technology system. ”

"The Xianwu system emphasizes strengthening oneself, individual development, and respecting the strong. The scientific and technological system is dependent on external objects, group development, and the wise are respected. When these two systems develop to a certain level, there will inevitably be contradictions. To some extent, this contradiction is irreconcilable. ”

"According to the records of the ancient calendar, the Qingyun Continent and the Immortal Realm were not separated at the beginning, and there were immortals on the continent. Those immortals' every move was integrated into the laws of heaven and earth, and their power was earth-shattering, even if all the elders of our clan made a move, they were not an opponent of scattered immortals. ”

"But at the same time, the scientific and technological system of the Qingyun Continent has also developed to a terrifying height. They are known as the Supreme People, and they not only possess starships that fly across the galaxy, but also quantum weapons that are infinitely powerful. ”

"In order to compete for resources, a shocking war broke out between the immortals and the supreme people. It is said that during that period, all the continents were connected together, which was called the Flood Famine. After a great war, the Flood Desolate Continent was torn apart and became the Thirteen Continents. ”

"In the end, the people were finally wiped out, and all technological weapons and inventions were completely destroyed. But the continent is shattered and the aura is diffuse. There are no more remnants of immortals left on the continent. ”

"Under the leadership of Sage Bo, the immortals concentrated the remaining aura into the immortal realm, separating the immortal realm from the human realm and turning it into a separate plane. True people must pass the Heavenly Tribulation before they can enter the immortal realm. ”

"Therefore, the technology system is a taboo in Qingyun Jingbi. ”

Xiang Mingyue still has some doubts: "Our civilization has always been good at eclecticism, and it seems that there are many scientific and technological products in terms of people's livelihood. The invasion of the crystal wall by the corpse demon clan before, it also brought a lot of technological civilization elements. ”

"Far from it, those scholars who have acquired the knowledge of corpse demons have a lot of scientific and technological inventions, such as airships and the like. Why didn't you see the sect go berserk?"

Xiang Yan smiled: "Mingyue, you only see the appearance. Those so-called airships do have technological elements, but their core is the sigil. As for the technology in life, it doesn't have much impact. ”

"The most powerful technological civilization is actually their weapon of war. ”

"The so-called battleship that Gu Wen is designing now is one of the most powerful weapons of primary scientific and technological warfare. Not to mention anything else, as long as there are two battleship fleets, we can basically ensure that the Qingyun Continent will not be invaded by other countries, which shows its strength. ”

"Since we can achieve our strategic goal by building two fleets, why not do it?" Xiang Mingyue stared at Xiang Yan's eyes.

Mingyue really knows what it means to be a father. That's right, we have to build a fleet of battleships. But at the same time, we need someone to pay for violating the taboo of the Qingyun Crystal Wall. ”

"So this person is Gu Wen. Xiang Mingyue nodded.

"Yes. By handing over Gu Wen, we will not continue to develop more advanced technological warfare weapons. In this way, we can retain the right to build battleships. It's a compromise. Xiang Yan said with a little regret:

"Gu Wen is indeed an immortal genius, but it's a pity that his talent is too shocking. And it's hard for us to get his absolute loyalty. Even if I marry you, I can't marry him. ”

"Definitely. This profession as a consultant may just be a pretext. Although Gu Wen is doing his best for the prosperity of the Chu State, if he wants to leave or work for others, it seems that there is nothing he can't do. Even if I am committed, I can't shake his will. ”

Xiang Mingyue was not shy because of the mention of her marriage, but analyzed according to the gains and losses, and was absolutely rational. This is also what Xiang Yan admires most about Xiang Mingyue.

"Since ancient times, many of the leaders of innovation have died. During the Yun-Qin period, the famous reformer Shang Yang died of the punishment of his own creation. Xiang Yan sighed:

"Such a national soldier died at the hands of my Xiang Yan, which is simply a fortress to deny me the door to seek talent. I don't know how many wise people will be chilled in the future and refuse to work for the Xiang family. ”

At this moment, a person silently flashed in the hall. I saw that he had white hair and yellow robes, and his face was somewhat similar to Xiang Yan.

Xiang Yan and Xiang Mingyue hurriedly bowed down and said, "First Seventeen Ancestors, why are you here?" ”

The person who came was the seventeenth generation ancestor of Da Chu. Xiang Ji reigned for a hundred years, and he was also a generation of famous monarchs, and after abdicating four hundred years ago, he practiced in the Hidden Dragon Secret Realm all the year round, and was one of the most powerful elders of the Xiang family.

I saw Xiang Ji's expression serious, and he said in a deep voice: "Emperor, don't give up this Gu Wen." Send a large army to protect him quickly, and make sure that he is safe. ”

Xiang Yan raised his eyebrows and said curiously: "Why is this? The Elder Council just gave up the order, why did he suddenly regret it?"

Xiang Ji said: "Originally, we thought that keeping Gu Wen would do more harm than good. Unexpectedly, this Gu Wen actually hid a major secret. ”

"This person is only a mid-level heroic cultivator, but he can burst out of life-level combat power several times in a row in one day, and even reach the extreme life-level level. ”

"In just one pillar of incense time, Long Zaijiang, the chief disciple of the outer gate of Xuanbing Palace, who has been promoted to a real person twice, even carried the palm of He Biwen, the elder stationed in Xuanbing Palace, especially with spare strength. It's unimaginable. ”

Xiang Yan was shocked: "I once heard that Gu Wen has a secret method that can instantly increase combat power, I originally thought it was just a good secret method for promoting valleys, but I didn't expect it to be so useful." No, this person can't give up. ”

Xiang Yan hurriedly recruited the guards, ordered the army to dispatch, and rushed to help.

Xiang Mingyue frowned slightly and said, "Overcoming the strong with weakness is indeed a clever move." I'm afraid it may not be in time. ”

The three of them are all smart people, and they naturally know that now that the elders of the Xuanbing Palace have already made a move, if the Xiang family also sends a real person to rescue, it will trigger a real-life war between the Xiang family and the three major sects.

With the strength of the Xiang family, if a full-scale war really broke out, it was naturally impossible to be the opponent of the three sects. Now sending ordinary people out by force, but in the name of the country, let the three sects throw rats.

After all, the Xiang family, as the royal family of the Chu State, represents the interests of the 300 billion people in the Chu State. If the three sects make a random move, the catastrophe will fall, and no one will be able to escape the annihilation. This is the means by which the three kingdoms restrain each other.

Gu Wen must be rescued temporarily, and the mystery of Gu Wen's secret method must be discovered first.

If it can be replicated quickly, that Xiang family will soon become extremely powerful, enough to confront the three sects head-on. If it doesn't work, then it's good to send Gu Wen to the three apologies.

It's just that He Biwen has already shot again, but I don't know if I can have time to do it. If Gu Wen was captured by He Biwen and sent ordinary military forces again, it would be unreasonable, and he would be destroyed and had nothing to say.

The three of them were worried in their hearts, worried that this great opportunity would be taken away by others.

The three generations of outstanding figures of the Xiang family stood side by side in front of the Chongwen Hall and looked out, only to see countless masters rushing between the walls, swarming towards the southeast.

In that direction, a cold air rose up into the sky, and it was extremely cold. Under the cold air, there was a faint black glow, which flickered several times and disappeared.

Xiang Ji frowned and said, "It seems that Gu Wen can't resist anymore." If he was taken away by He Biwen, I would have to sacrifice a few elders, let them go out of the house, forcibly attack, and kill Gu Wen. In any case, this kind of secret technique cannot be allowed to go to the three major sects. ”

is between hesitation. Suddenly, a wave of Yang Qi rose into the air in the same direction. This breath is not strong, but it is above board, warm and mellow, and instantly washes away the cold breath.

Xiang Ji raised his eyebrows: "Strange." How could that old guy from the Meng family come out and come out? But with him to make a move, Gu Wen shouldn't be in any danger. (To be continued.) )
