Chapter 177: The Battle of the Martial Arts (Part I)
"Well, I'll tell you!"
Xiang Bao was silent for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Actually, as long as you enter the inner courtyard, you will naturally know about it, and I don't count it as a leak." ”
"In case you can't break through the blood realm and can't enter the inner courtyard, you must rot this matter in your stomach!"
Hearing him say solemnly, Zhao Lin said in a deep voice: "Brother Xiang, don't worry. ”
Xiang Bao pointed to the practice room, "Let's go inside and say." ”
The two walked into the practice room and closed the door.
Xiang Bao pondered for a moment and asked Zhao Lin a question: "Our Yanzhou is located in the frontier, only a hundred miles away from Heishuiyu in the north, and you should have heard that Heishuiyu is the territory of the Wushu people." ”
"Why don't you say the two sides have been fighting?"
Zhao Lin made a gesture of deafness, "I don't know, I've thought about this question a long time ago." ”
Xiang Bao laughed twice, "Our Central Plains is thousands of miles away, and the land is vast and abundant, do you say those alien races can not be blushing?" ”
"To tell you the truth, before the establishment of the Great Yue Dynasty, it was fought every day, every month. Let's not only fight with the north, but also with the northwest, southwest, and southeast! ”
Zhao Lin nodded secretly, and said in his heart that this was in line with his previous life's cognition.
"It all started more than 900 years ago."
Xiang Leopard touched his chin and said, "At that time, the martial arts were not prosperous, and those who cultivated to the highest level were only qi realms......
Zhao Lin said: "You said that nine hundred years ago, the highest realm of martial arts was the Qi realm, and there was no blood realm and Yuan realm? ”
Xiang Bao smiled, "Yes, I was the same as you when I first heard about it. But don't interrupt just yet, listen to me. ”
Zhao Lin raised his hand to apologize and motioned for him to continue.
Xiang Bao waved his hand and continued unhurriedly: "It is the army that fights the war, and the combat power of the army comes down to the soldiers. ”
"Therefore, the army is still martial, and those with high military strength serve as captains and even generals."
"However, individual force cannot control the situation of the war, especially large-scale battles, the legendary 10,000 enemies are just legends, in fact, even 100 enemies do not exist."
"No matter how strong the force is, if you throw it into the battlefield, you won't even be able to turn up a wave."
Zhao Lin nodded as he listened, feeling that there would be a turning point here.
Sure enough, I heard Xiang Leopard's words: "In a certain year, there was suddenly an extra thing between heaven and earth. This thing can't be seen or touched, but many martial artists with perfect qi can feel a vigorous aura! ”
"It's vitality."
"These martial artists began to try to use their Yuan Qi to cultivate, and a few of them broke through to an unprecedented realm: the Blood Realm!"
"At that time, those who could break through to the Blood Realm were all highly talented and intelligent people, so they would naturally ponder how to cultivate next. They began to participate in the study of martial arts, and gradually expanded the realm of martial arts to the Yuan realm and innate realm. ”
"Even some beasts have absorbed the vitality of heaven and earth and turned into alien beasts."
Zhao Lin was shocked and couldn't speak.
Is this Reiki revival?
No, you can only practice martial arts, and it may be more appropriate to call it revival.
Xiang Bao continued: "After more than a hundred years, there have been more and more martial artists in the Blood Realm and Yuan Realm. ”
"That's incredible! You think, the Blood Realm Martial Artist is much more powerful than the Qi Realm Martial Artist, and on the battlefield, it is not impossible to take the head of the general in the Ten Thousand Army. ”
"As for the martial artists of the Yuan Realm, not to mention, a hundred soldiers can be destroyed at will, and a sergeant with more than a thousand people may not be able to defeat him head-on."
"But the Yuanjing martial artists are not fools, they can leave if they can't fight, and they can continue to kill if they slow down, who can bear it?"
"At the beginning of the founding of Dayue, there was an incident: at that time, Zhu Zhenguo in the north sent 3,000 ironclad cavalry to attack the border of Dayue."
Xiang Bao said and stretched out two fingers, "Two!" Our Da Yue only sent two Yuan Realm martial artists, and in one night, we killed almost all the three thousand iron cavalry, and only a dozen escaped alive. ”
"You've come to this point, is it still useful to ask for an army?"
"It's useless."
Zhao Lin suddenly had a feeling of seeing the sun, and solved a long-standing question in his heart: why didn't there be many garrisons in such an important town as Yanzhou.
"I understand, what will the martial arts dynasty be?"
Xiang Bao didn't answer and asked: "What do you say are fighting for?" ”
Zhao Lin thought for a while and said, "Money and grain, land, and population." ”
"Incisive!"
Xiang Bao stroked his palm and said, "That's not bad." Although the army is useless, these things still have to be fought for, so the parties are still fighting. ”
"Because the martial artists of the Yuan Realm are too domineering, they can directly kill the monarch of a country, in the first few hundred years, we don't know how many monarchs have been killed in the surrounding countries of Dayue, and the generals who died are even more ordinary."
"Of course, the emperor of our Dayue has also been assassinated several times."
Zhao Lin sighed in his heart, feeling that the Yuanjing martial artists had a bit of a nuclear meaning.
Xiang Bao said with a dry mouth, took out the water bag on his waist and drank two sips, before he said again: "All countries see that this is not good, in the past, it was the low-level soldiers who died in wars, and they didn't feel distressed when they died." ”
"Now as soon as the war starts, the dead are all monarchs, commanders, and generals, and no one can stand it, so there is a court meeting!"
"What is a pilgrimage? When the monarch and the minister meet, it is a court meeting. Our Dayue is located in the Central Plains, with a wealth of natural treasures, outstanding people, natural kings, and surrounding countries as ministers. ”
"All parties gathered to discuss, and agreed not to fight or assassinate in the future, but if there is a dispute, directly send the strongest warriors to fight."
"Whoever wins: get money, land, and people, and the loser obediently recognizes his head."
"Since then, there have been very few wars, and it has become a competition of top martial artists."
"At first, the fights were between two or three neighboring countries, but then they became more frequent, and the countries deliberated again and decided to get together every three years and have a big competition."
Xiang Bao paused for a moment and looked at Zhao Lin, "This is the origin of the martial arts competition." ”
"I see!"
Zhao Lin knew it in his heart.
Things have evolved like this, and it sounds reasonable, so he smiled and said: "That's good, at least you don't have to fight and die, so the martial arts competition will be a competition between the martial artists of the Yuan Realm of various countries?" ”
Xiang Bao said: "It's not that simple. ”
Zhao Lin was puzzled, "What do you say?" ”
Xiang Bao smiled, "The strength of the Yuan Realm martial artists is strong, and the results of fighting each other with all their strength are also extremely tragic. ”
"You must know that this time is different from the past, the martial artists have broken through the shackles, their strength has increased greatly, and their status is naturally respected, and they are no longer court eagles and dogs, powerful minions."
"Especially the martial artists of the Yuan Realm, they have already achieved fame, and their status can be compared with that of princes, why should they work hard for you? Isn't it good to live a leisurely life? ”
Zhao Lin thought that this was indeed the truth, every time he slaughtered more dogs, with his status and status, he would lose the spirit of fighting, not to mention the risk of dying.
If a martial artist can cultivate to the Yuan Realm, it can be said that he has gone through a lot of hardships and all kinds of hardships, and it is not something that can be dismissed with a sentence that benefits the country and the people.
Thinking of this, he asked, "What about later?" ”
