Chapter 302: The Legend of the Nine Soldiers > The Immeasurable Calamity
After talking about the trial last time, the sisters of the urging family led Zhu Youxiao, Zhu Youzhen and his concubines, and Zhang Sanfeng to Guangxi "Dengyun Mountain" to find their little sister.
"Bulldozing the 'Oriental Island Country Cultivation Realm'? This ......" Everyone looked at each other after hearing this, so they asked: "Dare to ask Master, why did the 'Realm Spirit Senior' of the 'Kunlun Secret Realm' also ask for this?" Could it be that there is a reason for this? Or what's so funny? Zhu Youzhen and his concubines were puzzled by Zhang Sanfeng.
"Giggles, what do you say? As a teacher, I'll tell you a 'story' first. Brother Xuan led everyone to a large hall, sat down and said with a smile.
According to legend, since the early days of ancient times, the Chinese continent has been guarded by a "legendary organization" for thousands of years, this organization is known as the "Nine Soldiers of China" by the people, and it is the "Xiuzhen Alliance" that existed before the "Three Emperors and Five Emperors", mainly responsible for the control of military conflicts between the primitive tribal alliances, and is the "Soldier Monk".
The "Nine Soldiers" have been secretly guarding the "Chinese Continent" after accepting the "oracle", and even participated in the change of dynasty and overrode the royal power.
Some say that they are "gods" with supreme "supernatural powers"; Some people say that they are just "ordinary people", but they know more things; Some people say that they have an "immortal body" and can "live forever"; It is also said that they are the "Ancient Tu Monks", that is, "military monks".
It is also said that the "Nine Soldiers" are composed of a variety of religions, beliefs, and even creatures...... All kinds of legends are so miraculous that no one can say why, but when the "Nine Soldiers" are gradually forgotten by this world, history is always joking, because "Strangers" and "Cultivators" often appear.
In fact, the "Nine Soldiers" is a mysterious organization established by the monks of the ancient Chinese "military science", that is, "Tu Xue" in the time of King Wu of Zhou, because its core members are nine "monks", that is, "cultivators", so it is called "nine soldiers", its history can be traced back to the "Great Flood", is one of the few inheritance organizations of ancient Chinese civilization.
The "Nine Soldiers" is a mysterious organization independent of the regimes of various dynasties, unwilling to submit to the autocratic rule of secular royal power, with the study of governing the country and the use of soldiers as the main way of cultivating the Tao (Xiuzhen), with the responsibility of protecting the "living beings of China", and the ultimate goal of restoring the "Shengshi of China" (the rule of the saints).
According to their own historical mission, the "Nine Soldiers" have directly or indirectly intervened in the historical process to varying degrees, for example, the "Guiguzi" recruited apprentices, and the "Mo Family" helped Qin unify the Six Kingdoms. After the Qin and Han dynasties, there were only "nine soldiers to help the Tang Dynasty", because "burning books and pit Confucianism" and "respecting Confucianism" made the "nine soldiers" very disgusted.
The inheritors of the "Nine Soldiers" all call themselves "soldiers", and their core members need to strictly select people with the heart of "cold spirit and empty light" and "heavenly fate", and the "nine soldiers" of the previous generation will personally teach the "way of soldiers". Because military science is a "sensitive science", in order to ensure the safety of the organization, only the core members know their inheritance.
The representative figures of the "Nine Soldiers" in history include Jiang Shang, Cao Di, Sun Wu, Guiguzi, Sun Bin, Pang Juan, Bai Qi, Wang Qian, Li Mu, Wei Yi, Xu Fu, Zhang Liang, Zhou Yu, Lu Xun, Xie Xuan, Wei Rui, Li Jing, Yue Fei, Liu Renliang, Chang Yuchun, Qi Jiguang, Fan Wencheng, Zheng Zhilong, etc.
It is said that three of the inheritors of the "Nine Soldiers" have joined the Communist Party of China in modern times: Wang Jinshan, Nie Fengzhi and Liang Xingchu.
However, since the Qin and Han dynasties until the Ming and Qing dynasties, with the further strengthening and consolidation of absolutist centralization, the "Nine Soldiers" felt more and more that it was difficult to achieve the goal of "cultivation" on the battlefield, so they moved to overseas seclusion and retreat, and even stopped living in the world for various reasons.
It is precisely because of this that the "Middle Earth Cultivation Realm" has gradually reduced its attention to overseas, resulting in the sudden rise of restless factors such as "Fusang Shintoism" and "Monotheism" in the West, which have encroached on the sphere of influence of the "ancient Chinese civilization" through various means, and must be curbed from the source, so the "Nine Soldiers" are needed.
"Uh...... But throughout history, the descendants of the 'Nine Soldiers' are just a group of 'generals' who can fight, not much different from ordinary mortals, they have neither the ability to call the wind and rain, nor the power to fly to the sky, at most they can only be regarded as 'fighting spirits', not 'qi refiners', and they are also worthy of the attention of 'Middle Earth Cultivation Realm'? ”
"Giggles, you don't know about that." Brother Zhu said with a smile: "If we wait for the 'Middle Earth Cultivation Realm' to attack the 'Oriental Island Country Cultivation Realm' on a large scale, it will inevitably force the 'Fusang Shinto' and its subordinate 'Yin Yang Dao' and 'Yin Yang Liao' dogs to jump over the wall in a hurry, and maybe they will also take the opportunity to open the 'Shura Gate' and release evil ghosts." ”
"Demons? What the hell is that? Isn't it amazing? "————" giggles, of course it's amazing. Brother Qi said with a smile: "The evil ghost is not an ordinary hell demon, but the 'Shura evil ghost' in the 'Six Realms of Reincarnation', and its strength is very strong, even if it is the 'Heavenly Court' in the upper realm, it will affect the future tribulation." ”
"In the future? What's the situation? Would you like to ask Master for some guidance? "————" this ...... Originally, it was 'the heavenly machine cannot be leaked, but the deity of this seat is the 'Great Dao Saint', and it has long been beyond the 'heavenly machine', so why not talk about it? Brother Qi said with a smile: "Five hundred years later, the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism will lead to immeasurable disasters. ”
"Immeasurable calamity? How immeasurable is it? ———— "The so-called 'immeasurable calamity' is the 'killing immeasurable calamity' that revolves around the re-establishment of the "God List" and the re-establishment of the 'Heavenly Court'. Urging the younger brother said with a solemn face: "All sentient beings in the Three Realms and Six Realms are not exempt, those who have created serious sins will be directly wiped out, and those who have created minor sins can re-enter reincarnation and reincarnate, and those above the Daluo Immortals are more 'on the list', and only those who have cultivated saints can be immortal and immortal!" ”
"Huh? This...... Re-establish the god list and set up a new heavenly court? Sure enough, it's 'killing immeasurable calamity'! Everyone was shocked when they heard this: "Then the reason why our 'Middle Earth Cultivation Realm' wants to find the successors of the 'Nine Soldiers' before attacking the 'Oriental Island Country Cultivation Realm' in the future is not because we want them to 'substitute' for us and transfer 'karma'?" ”
"Giggles, not bad. ' The 'cultivation realm' originally includes the 'mundane world', because where there are 'cultivators', it is the 'cultivation realm'. Brother Xuan said with a hideous face: "If we can let the 'Nine Soldiers' lead the troops to fight for us and cause killing and sin, then we will sit back and enjoy the success, not only not afraid of karma, but also help to survive the calamity in the future." ”
"Oh, I see!" After hearing this, everyone nodded one after another, so they couldn't help but focus their eyes on Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen, and said gossipsily: "Hey, hey, mortal emperor, now that you have set foot in cultivation, you should think more about the future tribulation in pursuit of immortality, can you take the initiative to cause chaos?" ”
"Uh...... This one...... Hehe, that's of course, after all, the 'grandfather' used the 'ancestral motto' to inform the descendants of the 'fifteen no', and asked future generations to remember. ”
In fact, the so-called "country without levy" was an important part of a series of policies under the "suzerain-vassal system", "tributary system" and "maritime ban policy" of the Ming Dynasty.
In the second year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the compilation of the "Emperor Ming Zuxun", announcing that 15 countries would be listed as "countries not to be levied", and warning future generations not to arbitrarily levy them. However, in the Yongle Dynasty later, the Ming Dynasty successively made many expeditions to Mongolia in the north, Jiaozhi in the south, and sent envoys to the West to promote national prestige.
After Zhu Zhanji succeeded to the throne of Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty also acted in full accordance with Zhu Yuanzhang's testament, and in Zhu Zhanji's own words: "The land is not enough to cultivate, the people are not enough to be ministers, and the land of the projectile is not to be gained, and there must be no damage." This is why the Ming Dynasty annexed Vietnam and spit it out.
Of course, with the development of the situation, the northern nomads and the Japanese in the Oriental sea must send troops to conscript, otherwise it will not be conducive to the peace of the world, and it will not be conducive to the rule of the Ming Dynasty over the whole world. So, what are the 15 countries that Zhu Yuanzhang listed that are not levyed?
The first is the "Korean State", that is, the "Korean Peninsula"; the second is "Japan", that is, "Oriental Island Country"; the third is the "Great Ryukyu Kingdom", that is, the "Shanbei Ryukyu Kingdom" at that time, which was part of the "Okinawa" in later generations; The fourth is the "Little Ryukyu Kingdom", that is, the "Zhongshan Ryukyu Kingdom" and the "Shannan Ryukyu Kingdom" at that time, and the Okinawa part of later generations.
the fifth is the "Annam Kingdom", that is, the "Jiaozhi County" of the Han and Tang Dynasties, which is the northern part of "Vietnam" in later generations; Sixth, the "Chenla country", that is, "Khmer", is the "Cambodia" of later generations; the seventh is the "Siamese State", that is, the later "Thailand"; The eighth is the "Champa State", which believes in "Islam", and was annexed by Annam in the late Ming Dynasty in the later "southern Vietnam".
The ninth is "Sumatra", the belief in "Islam", which is the eight pasts of Sumatra in later generations; Ten is the "Western Country", which is the Coromandel Coast for later generations.
The eleventh is the "Java Country", that is, the Indonesian island of Java in later generations; The twelfth is the "Hen Country", that is, the Malay Peninsula in later generations; The thirteenth is the "White Flower Country", that is, the northwest of Sumatra in later generations; The fourteenth is the "Three Fuqi", that is, Palembang, Sumatra in later generations, which was an enclave of the Ming Dynasty; Fifteenth is the "Bo Ni Country", that is, the Bandar Seri Begawan where the later "Brunei" is located. Most of these small countries believed in "Islam", liked to do tributary trade with the Ming Dynasty, and supported the Ming Dynasty to set up the "Old Port Propaganda and Consolation Division".
Although the Ming Dynasty has lost its ambition and motivation to expand its territory since Zhu Yuanzhang listed the surrounding small countries as "countries that do not conquer". But for the "cultivators" of the True Dan Period, they can fly all over the earth in one day, and of course they don't care about the complacency of the mortal emperors and the arrogance of Yelang.
Of course, for the Chinese people at that time, the leaves of the big trees had to return to their roots, and they felt that it was better to leave their hometowns to engage in foreign trade than to return to their hometowns and glorify their ancestors. As a result, the idea of returning to the roots of fallen leaves decided to relocate to the land.
"Giggles, apprentice, having said that, the 'Oriental Island Country' must be destroyed, because it is still related to whether we can safely and smoothly ascend!"
"Oh? Dare to ask Master, what do you mean by this? "———— "Giggles, just because there is a 'Sendai' in the 'Oriental Island Country Cultivation Realm', which is a 'super-large long-distance teleportation array' left over from ancient times, once activated, it can forcibly teleport a certain number of 'cultivators' to the upper realm space, and as for the destination, ......"
"Ultra-long-distance teleportation circle? This ......" everyone was shocked when they heard this: "No wonder 'the husband is not guilty, but he is guilty', it seems that the island country of the East must be destroyed!" ”
"Giggles, it's good to know." Brother Xuan sneered: "Then the old guy in Kunlun Mountain still hasn't had this idea?" It's just a cover-up! ”
"Want to cover it up? Master, what do you mean ......? "————, looking for the 'Nine Soldiers' to 'replace the calamity' is just an interface, the real purpose is to monopolize the opportunity to ascend, after all, once the monks of the 'Righteous Path Alliance' soar safely as soon as possible, they will be able to quickly cultivate with the help of the immeasurable resources of the upper realm, so as to prepare for the future tribulation?" ”
