Chapter 2: Stories of the Past

"You're too indifferent to them. ”

Li Daoji appeared in front of Ding Ning, he glanced at Xie Changsheng and Xie Rou and the others in the distance, and then looked at Ding Ning with a solemn look, and said slowly: "Don't misunderstand, I mean, even if you don't like Xie Rou's approach, you don't have to treat them so indifferently and rudely." ”

Ding Ning was silent for a moment.

Li Daoji waited patiently for him.

Ding Ning looked at the broken sword on his waist and said slowly and softly: "Uncle Li Daoji, since you helped me find this broken sword, you should naturally know the story related to this sword." ”

Li Daoji's brows furrowed into a Sichuan shape, "Do you know the story of this sword?"

"Before Emperor Yuanwu ascended the throne, our Great Qin Dynasty also had a very famous place of cultivation called Bashan Sword Field. ”

Ding Ning's face was as calm as water, and he said in a light tone like a real storyteller: "In many stories, the Bashan Sword Field is even higher than the Minshan Sword Sect and the Lingxu Sword Sect, because in the matter of exterminating the Three Dynasties for the Great Qin Dynasty and even helping Emperor Yuanwu ascend the throne, many cultivators who played a decisive role came from the Bashan Sword Field. ”

"It's just that Emperor Yuanwu took the throne before a big change, countless cultivators who were originally loyal to the Great Qin Dynasty became rebellious overnight, some of them have a high status, even Emperor Yuanwu has to admit that they have a deep impact on the future of the entire Great Qin Dynasty, and Yan Xinlan of Bashan Sword Field is one of them. ”

"As long as she says what Emperor Yuanwu wants to hear and publicly express her attitude, she will be able to survive very noblely, and the Bashan Sword Field will continue to exist, and today it should also have a higher position than the Minshan Sword Sect and the Lingxu Sword Sect. ”

However, she chose to swing her sword at Emperor Yuanwu to show her unyielding attitude. ”

Listening to Ding Ning's words, Li Daoji's face became more and more unnatural.

He finally couldn't help but say aloud: "What do children know? Many things even happened before you were born, and since you know a lot of stories, you should know that many stories should not be told again." And what do these stories have to do with your current attitude towards them!"

"Xie Rou's temperament is probably very similar to the owner of this last flower sword, I don't hate her, and even admire her, but you know my condition better than anyone else. Ding Ning looked up at him and said: "You know that I offended a certain big man in the military, even Liling Jun is worried about me, my physical condition will also determine that I will climb up in Changling very quickly, I don't know how many people's interests will be offended, I will not hesitate to risk doing something, because I have a plan." But I can't drag them and me to do something like this. ”

"Are you worried that Xie Rou will have the same fate as the owner of this last flower sword?" Li Daoji sneered: "You think too far. ”

Ding Ning shook his head: "People have no long-term concerns, but they must have near-term worries." ”

Li Daoji stopped persuading Ding Ning and turned away.

But after taking a few steps, he paused again, turned his head to look at Ding Ning, and said, "You mentioned the story of the owner of this foil... But do you ever know what the owner of the last sword thinks? How do you know that she is so unhappy? Compared with the preserved old man, when she fights until the sword breaks and dies, her heart may be happier sooner. There are no regrets in her life, and few people can do it, but she may have done it. ”

Ding Ning was silent.

Over the years, he has met many people in Changling who don't pay attention to them on weekdays, and he has also seen many people of all shapes and sizes that he has never talked about before, such as peddlers and pawns, fishermen and farmers, prostitutes and bustards, rich and wealthy guests, serfs and prisoners of war... There are also many immigrants who were originally from the three major dynasties of Wei, Han, and Zhao, but now they have slowly blended with Changling and become the subjects of the Great Qin Dynasty, some still remember their homeland, some people on the margins, and some people who have completely forgotten their homeland and want to desperately gain the same status as the Changling people and climb up in the Great Qin Dynasty, but some people have been excluded.

From these people, he learned a lot, and he also learned to see things from their standpoint.

He actually admitted that what Li Daoji said was right, but he was sure that if Li Daoji knew what kind of rebellious heart was beating in his chest, he would never say such things again.

No matter how good the legendary Mr. Zhao Jianlu and Mr. Zhao Yi of Yunshui Palace are, no matter how admirable they are, who would persuade people to be friends with such a great rebellion?

......

Some things are often after they have passed, and it is easy for future generations to judge and see clearly.

In the battles between the Great Qin Dynasty and the Han, Zhao, and Wei dynasties in the past, the battle situation changed rapidly, and a big battle could kill and injure hundreds of thousands of sword masters, lose thousands of cultivators, and the outcome of the victory or defeat was unpredictable.

But now that Han, Zhao, and Wei have been wiped out, the reasons for victory and defeat in many historical books in later generations are mostly the same and the opinions are very unified.

In the absolute mainstream of the current history books, and even authoritative records, the Han Dynasty was finally destroyed, mainly because of the failure to move the capital. The original capital of the Han Dynasty, which once relied on some Danzong to be powerful, was Yangzhai, but some of the advisors of the Great Qin Dynasty instilled some ideas into Emperor Han Ai through many methods, and painted a wonderful vision, which made him firmly believe that in order for the Han Dynasty to have stronger power, it was necessary to move the capital to Luoyi.

Moving the capital to Luoyi did seem to have great benefits at that time, because there was a mountain on the left side of Luoyi, and the jade valley in the mountain was the best place to practice in the world with a very strong aura.

However, many people and nobles did not move because of the relocation of the capital, and because of the damage to the interests caused by the relocation of the capital, there were many contradictions between Emperor Han Ai, after the relocation of the capital, the rise of some new forces and the division of the new capital, and the power of the dynasty was sharply reduced, and finally destroyed.

The destruction of Wei is two major events, one is the strategy of the spiritual canal, driven by some conspiracies, the Wei Dynasty began to gather countless skilled craftsmen, wanting to artificially build a huge spiritual canal that can absorb a large amount of heaven and earth aura. The construction of this spiritual canal consumed countless resources of the Wei Dynasty, and the national strength gradually weakened. And the other is the later monopoly of Wei Yunshui Palace. In a certain period of time, many cultivators with amazing cultivation emerged in Yunshui Palace, and King Wei also relied more and more on Yunshui Palace, and many things were all inclined towards Yunshui Palace, which eventually made Yunshui Palace a family and caused many cultivation sects to wither and even die.

Destroying Zhao was the most classic use of anti-strategy, and during the most critical period of the Great Qin Dynasty and the Zhao Dynasty's conquest, the Great Qin Dynasty succeeded the King of Zhao in believing that Zhao Jianlu would cooperate with the Great Qin Dynasty and eventually take his place. So he killed the strongest grandmaster of the Zhao Kingdom, the sword that created the Zhao Sword Furnace.

Subsequently, the army of the Great Qin Dynasty was no longer fearful, and it was like a bamboo, and in less than three months, the Zhao Dynasty was destroyed.

Even for many people in the Great Qin Dynasty who made a lot of plans and finally won in such a war, there are still countless things to learn from and ponder in the process of the fall of these three dynasties.

After all, in the ever-changing conquest, I don't know how many great people are working on it, I don't know how many kinds of conspiracies and calculations are going on with each other at the same time, and only in later generations will we find out which of them played a role.

In particular, the fact that the Wei Yunshui Palace family is dominant, which has led to the weakness of many Dan Sects and affects the national strength, has made various dynasties take warning.

Therefore, at this time, although Emperor Yuanwu was more controllable than all the previous emperors of the Great Qin Dynasty, and the group composed of him, the empress and the two phases firmly suppressed and controlled all the noble gates of the Great Qin Dynasty, but the Central Dynasty deliberately kept most of the cultivation places in the state when they first established the mountain. In addition to providing some shade and support, just let it grow naturally like a weed.

The process of the fall of the Wei Dynasty made people in later generations understand that no matter how weak a sect looks, as long as it maintains the state it was in when it founded the mountain, as long as it maintains the essence of that sect, then this sect may suddenly become strong because of some talented people at some point many years later.

And the number of cultivators that a particularly powerful sect outputs that are particularly useful to the entire dynasty is far less than the number of those small and medium-sized sects combined.

Therefore, after the fall of the Wei Dynasty, each dynasty tried its best to ensure that all the sects of its own dynasty could exist for a long time, and there were actually very few things like the merger of Baiyang Cave into Qingteng Sword Academy.

Because most of the sects are deliberately maintained in their original state, they are equivalent to a pure place isolated from the world, and the cultivators in the mountain gate only need to consider the issue of realm ascension.

For the Qingteng Sword Academy, the three-day closed-door sword trial is equivalent to isolating itself from Changling for three days.

Therefore, at this time, although the sacrificial sword trial was over, some results and what happened in the sacrificial sword trial had been reported, but when Ding Ning was walking on the mountain road at this time, he didn't know that many earth-shattering events had happened in Changling.
