At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the heroes competed for hegemony, and the heroes and heroes had their own side, including Cao Cao, Sun Quan, and Liu Bei. In the twelfth year of Emperor Jian'an of the Han Dynasty (207 AD), Cao Cao dominated the Central Plains and held the position of prime minister in the court, controlling the power of the imperial court; Sun Quan inherited the foundation of his brother Sun Ce, ruled the six counties of Jiangdong, and consolidated the first major power in the south - Eastern Wu with his excellent management; Liu Bei debuted for many years, but for various reasons, has not been able to build a foundation, and recently lost in the battle of Runan, and has no way out, so he can only go to Jingzhou and attach himself to the state pastor Liu Biao. This is a truly troubled time, and this is where this story begins.

Liu Biao's character Jingsheng and Liu Bei are not only brothers of the same clan, but also friends of the same clan; when Liu Bei was down, Liu Biao not only did not dislike it, but also gladly included him in his account. However, Liu Bei's arrival aroused the dissatisfaction and vigilance of some people - Liu Biao's wife Cai and his brother-in-law Cai Mao have always been ill-intentioned, fearing that Liu Bei will be the main enemy in the future, which will be unfavorable to him, so he will do everything possible to get rid of the trouble;

One day, Er Liu was drinking and chatting in the back pavilion of the state capital. Talking about the general trend of the world, Liu Biao said: "Today's incompetence of the saints has led to wars and flames. In the past, Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zhan, etc., all created their own careers in troubled times. Have you ever thought about making a big deal?"

Liu Bei drank a glass of wine and said: "To tell the truth, since the crusade against the Yellow Turban Party, I have been fighting for more than 20 years, and I have always been eager to create my own foundation on the Han soil. ”

"The conditions can be created by themselves. Liu Biao said while pouring him wine.

"But there has to be opportunity. I had the opportunity to be a pastor in Xuzhou, but I couldn't let go of the benevolence and righteousness in my heart, so I missed the opportunity. I want to fight the world on my own, not sit back and enjoy it. Liu Bei looked up to the sky and sighed, feeling that he had never met a talent.

Liu Biao smiled and asked again: "Brother Xian has been coming to Jingzhou for a long time, is there anything you are not used to?"

Liu Bei was puzzled: "Brother Xian treats me like a mountain, why don't you get used to it?"

"I mean, do you feel that there are people around you who have bad intentions towards you and always want to find an opportunity to squeeze you out?"

Liu Bei understood what he meant, and smiled: "I have always been lenient and will not care about such trivial matters, in fact, their worries are also reasonable, after all, I am an outsider, and if the virtuous brother treats me well, it will definitely attract jealousy." However, I believe that as long as there is a virtuous brother in charge of the overall situation, there will be no chaos. ”

Liu Biao nodded: "Having said that, I still don't think it's appropriate, after all, I'm not the personal bodyguard of the virtuous brother." After thinking about it, I decided to provide a safe place for the virtuous brother, I don't know what the virtuous brother wants?"

"Oh, where do you dare to ask?"

"There is a small county called Xinye nearby, where there is plenty of money and food, and the virtuous brother can bring his family and horses to settle there, which can not only avoid misfortune and seek blessings, but also set up his own door. Xinye County just lacks a county order, and it has to be the virtuous brother!"

"Really, Brother Xian treats me so well!" Liu Bei thanked him.

In fact, Liu Biao had already had this intention, he knew that Cai Mao's group was bent on putting Liu Bei to death, and he couldn't protect him at all times, so it was the best policy to let him leave here. Liu Biao knew that he was old and seriously ill, and sooner or later he would have to entrust his foundation to others, and his eldest son Liu Qi could not become a great man, and his second son Liu Cong was still young, so he could not be entrusted with important tasks; only Liu Bei, who had both ability and political integrity, was the best candidate to be the lord of the state. Liu Bei, who is currently living in Jingzhou, has also contributed to Jingzhou, but in essence he does not have a formal official position, so Liu Biao must provide an opportunity for him to manage the land of one side to improve his political performance, and when he abdicates in the future, he can also give everyone an explanation. Liu Biao's decision is not only for Liu Bei, but also for Jingzhou and the world.

Two days later, Liu Bei received the official letter from the state government, so he and his second brother Guan Yu, third brother Zhang Fei and others brought their families and generals, and were led by the guide officer to Xinye. Because he has won the hearts of the people for a long time, when Liu Bei first arrived in Xinye, the people were overjoyed and poured into the streets to greet him. Liu Bei was overjoyed, and did not mention it to the people.

There is a dense forest not far from the west gate of Shinno Castle, and there is a high mountain in the forest, and it is said that in ancient times, there were white cranes and green dragons intersecting on the top of the mountain, so it was named Crane Dragon Mountain. On the mountain live a pair of master and apprentice who practice martial arts.

A teenager and a middle-aged man stood five meters apart, put on a posture, stared at each other, and said nothing. Suddenly, the young man lifted his heels, rushed forward like a rabbit, and punched the middle-aged man's head, the fist was windy, full of strength.

The middle-aged man was unhurried, flashed sideways, and at the same time quickly formed a half-squat state and struck the young man in the abdomen. The boy raised his right leg and blocked the palm blow with his knee, but because the palm was too strong, he still took a few steps back.

The two of them went through a few more moves, no matter how big or small. At this time, the middle-aged man smiled slightly and made a rare downpercut. The boy dodged a backflip, followed by a whirlwind kick.

The middle-aged man flashed a side flip, but he didn't expect the young man to kick him on his left wrist. The middle-aged man fell backwards.

The young man wanted to go over and help him up, but the middle-aged man waved his hand and stood up on his own.

"Are you alright, Master?" the boy asked.

"It's okay, if this can defeat me, I won't have to teach you!" Master said as he moved his wrist, "Let's get here today." Zhiming, I didn't expect your martial arts to grow so fast!"

"It's all up to Master to teach you well. Zhiming smiled and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"The main thing is to rely on myself, I'm just in charge of teaching. Master sat down on the stone slab and said, "You are twenty years old this year, have you ever thought of going out into the outside world?"

While he was talking, a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old ran over and said breathlessly, "Master, brother, I'm back!"

"Why are you only back now? Zhiming blamed her.

"What, there are a lot of people in the market today, and I finally managed to buy such a little food, and I was tired from going up and down the mountain. You just know to blame others, just buy it yourself later!" the girl was angry.

"Alright, alright, now is not the time to argue. Master intervened, "Alain, go cook, I'm almost fainting from hunger." ”

Alan grimaced at Zhiming and went into the kitchen.

Zhiming sighed: "Naughty girl." ”

After dinner, the master said to Zhiming, "Go to bed early tonight, I have a new set of boxing techniques to teach you tomorrow morning." ”

"Really, great!" Zhiming jumped up, "What kind of punch?"

"Let's talk about it tomorrow, take a shower first. "Master was so tired and sweaty that he didn't want to say much.

That night, the master and apprentice lay down early. They slept in the same room, and Alain slept next door.

As soon as he thought of the new boxing method, Zhiming was so excited that he couldn't sleep, and his mind was full of boxing.

Thinking about it, suddenly, he felt a fog in his mind, as if something was forcing him to sleep. Before he knew it, he was asleep.

Zhiming is in a place where he can't see his fingers at the moment. Suddenly, he was amazed to find that he was actually floating in the air!

At this moment, a cloud of white light appeared in front of him, and a white-haired old man walked out of the aperture.

Zhiming asked in surprise, "Who are you? What is this place?"

The old man said, "I am a god, and I have entered your dream. I have something big to tell you. ”

"Immortal! in my dream?!" Zhiming subconsciously looked around, and it was pitch black. He pinched his face, and sure enough, there was no pain.

"It's really a dream!" Zhiming was excited, he knew for the first time that he was dreaming, "You... Really a fairy?!"

"Not bad. Actually, I entrusted you as a baby to your master, and you have no parents. ”

"Master said that I was an abandoned baby who was abandoned by my parents as soon as I was born. ”

"No, you were born without parents, and you were a soul body conjured from the Holy Sword. The old immortal said earth-shattering words.

"What did you say?" Zhiming was confused.

"Looks like we have to start at the beginning. The old immortal said earnestly, "Since ancient times, the Holy Sword has been manipulating this land of Shenzhou. From Pangu to the unification of the world by Qin Shi Huang, to today's struggle for hegemony in the Eastern Han Dynasty, etc., are all the results of the role of the holy sword. It can be said that it is precisely because of the existence of the holy sword that human beings can live in this space and society can continue to this day. However, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, due to another deviation in the laws of heaven and earth, society once again entered a state of chaos. Since the Ten Permanent Servants, traitorous ministers have been in power, the heroes have competed for hegemony, the Han Dynasty has been crumbling, and the Han Dynasty is facing annihilation! What's more, the energy of the Holy Sword is no longer enough to control this troubled world! In desperation, the Holy Sword has no choice but to gather its remaining energy, synthesize a new parameter energy, release it, and then through some means, create a flesh and blood body, it is you! You are the son of the Holy Sword!

Hearing these words, Zhiming felt that the blood in his body suddenly coagulated, unable to circulate, and unable to provide the brain with normal thinking. Although he was in a dream, he had a wonderful feeling of "being in the environment and seeing the situation in his heart". For the first time, he had heard that human society was controlled by a sword, and that he was the soul body of this sword! He never dreamed that his body was not given by his parents, but ......? This land of Shenzhou was controlled by something called the "Holy Sword"? Where was it? I was its soul body, so why didn't I know anything about it? Is everything happening now real or just a dream? Zhiming's mind was at a loss.

The old immortal saw through his thoughts and said, "The holy sword is in the distant divine realm, and it dominates the divine realm and the human world at the same time. You came into the world as a newborn being, and of course you don't know your own affairs, just as a human baby doesn't know where you came from. But this is not important, the most important thing is that you must keep in mind your mission, you did not come to the world to enjoy the life of ordinary people, but to use your strength to save this turbulent era and revive the majesty of the great man! This is the mission given to you by the Holy Sword!"

Zhiming didn't say a word, dumbfounded.

The old fairy continued: "Child, this is definitely not a dream, you are indeed the son of the holy sword, you have a unique power, you must shoulder the heavy responsibility of maintaining the peace of the times, and you must not let the wheel of history step on the mud again!"

Zhiming lowered his head and pondered. After a long time, he finally spoke: "Then what should I do?"

The old immortal saw that his mentality had been adjusted, so he said: "Liu Xuande, the hero of the world, convinces people with virtue and wins the hearts of the people, and has just been appointed as the commander of Xinye County recently. Shinno is not far from your home, and you can see the castle wall when you go out of the mountain. You must go to him immediately, use your wisdom and martial arts to help him fight against Cao Cao and restore the Han Dynasty!"

Zhiming also heard the master talk about Liu Bei's deeds, so he said: "I have also heard of Liu Xuande's famous name for a long time, just because I have lived in the mountains and forests for a long time, I know very little about the outside world, let alone war, how can I help him?"

"Don't worry, I can help you. The old fairy walked up to him and placed his palm on top of his head.

Zhiming suddenly felt a light shining above his head, and his mind began to churn, sometimes the waves were turbulent, the rivers were overturned, and sometimes the volcanoes erupted and magma burst out. Suddenly, he felt time begin to turn back...... From the period of the Yellow Emperor to the Eastern Han Dynasty, the relevant events of various dynasties were presented in the form of flowing images around his body in turn, including the Yellow Emperor's battle against Chiyou, Dayu's control of the water, and the violence of the Emperor...... Emperor Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms, Xiang Yu fought Liu Bang, and Gaozu built the Han Dynasty...... The Yellow Turban Army revolted, Dong Zhuo usurped the Han Dynasty, and Cao Cao recruited troops to attack the dynasty...... Thrilling scenes continue to appear around him, Zhiming seems to be in it, this feeling of swimming in the long river of history is really extremely shocking, all kinds of large-scale war scenes like a flood of fierce beasts rushed towards him, the degree of reality even made him close his eyes from time to time, dare not look directly, all kinds of history, humanities and other forms of values, has been deeply solidified in his heart.

Although he had only seen it in a superficial way, Zhiming still had a certain level of understanding of history, and he felt that he had lived for five hundred years, and in addition, he had also received military knowledge instilled by the old gods with special means.

After some "Daigo empowerment", the old immortal said: "Zhiming, you now have the basic elements of being a soldier, but you lack actual combat experience. You have to go to Liu Bei immediately, do your best to help him achieve great things, and temper yourself in this way. I'm always available to help you, but only in terms of language. If you want to see me, just say 'I want to see you' three times in your mind every night before you go to bed, and I will appear in your dreams. But under normal circumstances, there is no need to see me, we can talk with the telepathy at any time, I am everywhere, but I am limited by the laws of heaven and earth, I can't tell you everything, I hope you will remember this. See you ...... soon."

Zhiming suddenly felt that the world was spinning, confused and nowhere to be found......

"Brother, brother..." He vaguely heard someone shouting, and when he opened his eyes, it was Alain.

"Big lazy worm, you can't get out of bed when it's three poles in the morning!" Alain dragged him up.

Zhiming sat on the bed in a daze, as if he was in another world. He was still wondering whether last night's dream was real, and if it was just a dream, how could he explain those historical fragments? Could they be all virtual situations created by his autonomous consciousness? But they are all in line with the objective facts of history!

"Hey, what's wrong, motionless?" Alain was dissatisfied.

He suddenly came back to his senses and asked, "What about Master?"

"I've been waiting for you outside for a long time. Alain helped him fold the quilt.

Zhiming walked out of the house and saw his master practicing martial arts. Master stopped and said, "You're finally up. Alain has called you for a long time, you just shouldn't, it looks like you had a dream last night, right?

"Okay..."Zhiming instinctively responded, then dressed up and went running with his master. He was thinking about last night all the way, anxious to confirm everything.
