Chapter 557: Plan Ahead

Everything is always a blessing and a curse, with mixed pros and cons. The twelve golden immortals of the exposition of the teaching have the innate magic weapon, the power of the world, so they do not want to forge ahead, hold the concept that the innate magic weapon cannot be surpassed, sit and eat the mountain, the teaching is actually not a good hand at refining treasures, a magic weapon master passed on to the apprentice, and the apprentice passed on to the apprentice. That's really a church apprentice, starving to death the master. If the apprentice is half-hearted and betrays the master, even the master is helpless, and the cases of Yin Jiao and Yin Hong are by no means accidental.

The people of the sect are not as profound as the teachings, and there are few people who are pure and moral, and they like to be rich and rich, and they are fierce and fierce. Although it has no chance with the Great Dao of Immortality, it can still open up some development in the refining of magic weapons and magic circles.

The magic weapon is used to make up for the lack of personal ability, and the three religions of Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism all pay attention to the cultivation of the mind, and do not pay much attention to the strange skills and tricks, thinking that it is not helpful for the sufficiency of the spirit. The so-called 'plaything is demoralized' cannot be said to be insightless, and lewdness means 'excessive'. There is probably no standard for determining whether a piece of work is 'ingenious', and as a result, all mechanical ingenuity is opposed.

Production has always had two functions, one is the tool of fighting, such as bows and crossbows, and the other is the tool of life, and in a broad sense, the production outside the military can be included.

Mid-summer has a long history, often suffering from war, and is full of peaceful temperament. It is easy to see that the fighting equipment will naturally progress with the intensification of the war. A very important reason why the monks of the sect are able to refine magic circles and magic weapons is to fight and win. The people of the sect have no intention of this, firstly, because the innate magic weapon is strong enough, and secondly, they pay more attention to personal cultivation, and the concept of killing is relatively weak.

Once the war ended, the emperors of the past dynasties had to cultivate their literature and give the people the opportunity to recuperate and recuperate, and dissipate the anger of the world. The role of military affairs is nothing more than plunder and defense, if it is for the sake of plunder, the power of the equipment will naturally be as powerful as possible, even if it is diligent, it can only deepen the suffering of the people, and it is really the way to bring about self-destruction. For the sake of defense alone, as long as the equipment can defeat the foreign enemy, it is sufficient, and once the foreign enemy does not exist and the weapon loses its usefulness, it can be successfully retired and suppressed, and there is nothing to criticize.

Since Haitong, Zhongxia suddenly encountered the strong ships and cannons of the Taixi countries, dwarfed, and the desire to be more attributed to the traditional concept of the taboo of strange skills and tricks, but also to catch the wind and shadows, superficial knowledge. In all fairness, it is inevitable that the country will continue to be at peace for a long time, and its armaments will be discarded. It's just that after 30 years of accumulating the power of foreign affairs, the first war was defeated by a small country in the East, where is the problem that ships and guns cannot win?

There are many popular aurabags in the fairy world, and some of them are worth thousands of gold, which can be called precious. It is said that the finest leather is used, and the production is seamless and exquisite. But it has nothing to do with the interior space. It is also impossible to reach the realm of the Buddha seed bag from the east.

If the magic weapon of human seed bags is easy to imitate, wouldn't thieves and human traffickers run rampant, which is unthinkable. The aura bag is generally filled with some small and light things such as panacea, and as for the magic weapon, the magic weapon itself must be able to channel spiritual changes, and the size is as desired. There are many things in the world that have the quality of yin and yang, the yin is light and clear, and the yang is heavy and turbid, the former is like wind, water, and yin spirit, which is easy to change and expand, and the latter is like a mountain, stone, and body, and the state is relatively stable.

Although Yin Wuya is cultivated to be strong, he does not have the great magical power of Zhen Yuanzi's 'sleeve', nor does he have a magic weapon like the Donglai Buddha's seed bag, otherwise he can bring the Jiang family's father and goddess into the palace unknowingly.

Yin Wuya and Mrs. Moyu discussed it properly, got up and said goodbye. Mrs. Moyu sent it to the door, Yin Wuya's eyes swept in the courtyard, and she muttered, "Where does Ming Qin live, I'll go see him." ”

"It's next to the flower tree over there. ”

The two little Taoist priests may not be familiar with everyone's residence, and Mrs. Moyu pointed out Yin Wuya before turning around and closing the door.

Although Yin Wuya wants to talk about some old friendships with Mrs. Moyu, it is a pity that there are many people and it is inconvenient to stay for a long time. After hesitating for a moment, he gathered his feelings and knocked on Mingqin's door.

Ming Qin had already returned to the room first, put away the mirror, and showed his figure. As soon as she got to the bedside, Lian Xiang woke up at some point, propped up her body and said with concern: "What did you do?"

Ming Qin lifted the thin quilt and got in, hugged Lianxiang's fragrant shoulder and smiled, "It's okay." How did you get dressed?"

He touched his hand and found that Lianxiang had already put on his middle coat, and he felt slightly disappointed.

"I'm happy to wear it, can you handle it?"

Lian Xiang vaguely heard a little movement, woke up and couldn't see Ming Qin, put on her clothes, and wanted to go out to look for him.

The two of them had just laid down, and Yin Wuya had already arrived outside the door, and the little Taoist priest stepped forward and knocked on the door, shouting, "Master Ming, my immortal master is here to visit." ”

Lian Xiang's delicate body stiffened slightly, and said strangely: "In the middle of the night, why did Yin Wuya come." ”

Ming Qin snorted, he naturally knew the meaning of Yin Wuyi, and thought about how to protect the Jiang family's father and daughter.

"Do you want to get up and meet him?"

Lianxiang felt ashamed to lie in bed, and even more embarrassed in front of the living, although he and Mingqin had a close relationship, they were unprepared to be blocked in bed.

Seeing that Lianxiang was silent, Ming Qin shrank into the quilt and turned his face, knowing that she didn't want to meet Yin Wuya, put down the curtains, and opened the door with his clothes.

"Dao Chief, I haven't seen you for a long time, fortunately, fortunately. ”

Ming Qin had just spied on Yin Wuya in the dark and talked to Mrs. Moyu, and the previous time he followed the Heavenly Punishment Sect, he also came to Yanshui Beiye, and Dongyuan City said goodbye, although Yin Wuya saw him for the first time, he was not a stranger to Yin Wuya.

Yin Wuya saw that Ming Qin didn't turn on the wall lamp, and came out, his eyebrows wrinkled imperceptibly, and he laughed and said, "Little brother, don't come unharmed." Let's go inside and talk. ”

"It's fine. ”

Ming Qin knew that he was worried that there were ears next door, so he went back to the house and turned on the wall lamp, and when he saw that the curtains on the bed were hanging low, and there were people lying faintly in the quilt, he was slightly surprised in his heart, and he didn't ask much.

"The eldest lady and Poor Dao agreed to come to Wangcheng in three or five days. Now for more than half a month, there is no trace of her. Little brother is here, is there any news from the eldest lady?"

The Yang family is an important chess piece in Yin Wuya to deal with Senjiang, and has been paying attention to Yang Zaisi's whereabouts for many days, and recently heard that he appeared in the Mengjia Rice Shop, he lived in the palace and had not seen Yang Zaisi.

Ming Qin, Yan and Yang were separated for only two days, and Yuan also suspected that they might not be able to see Yin Wuya in time, and hearing him say this, it was even more undoubted.

"I went to Cangwu Mountain to do something, and I happened to meet Jiang Peifeng's family, so I rushed to Wangcheng together. Later, I learned that Jiang Peifeng's father and daughter were the people to be arrested by the Taoist chief, so Jiang Shuixin was specially sent. As for the eldest lady, I have been away from her for a long time, and I don't know if she is in the royal city. ”

Ming Qin didn't mention the conflict with Bing Xiezong, but it was like capturing Jiang Shuixin was his great achievement, originally everyone relied on their own abilities, and Yin went to catch Jiang Peifeng's family of three, and it was no wonder that others.

"My family Xiuhuan and Jiang Jiji are incompatible, and this is not a secret in Wangcheng. Don't hide it from the little brother, Jiang Ji has the support of the cult, and she is very invincible. I was forced to arrest her family, just to make her scruples and not dare to harm our father and daughter. Poor Dao is not a cruel and murderous person, as long as Jiang Ji does not come to harm me, I will naturally not endanger her family. ”

Yin Wuyan has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and he has always cherished his reputation. Cultivators are most afraid of losing a reputation of being extremely vicious, and if they are not tolerated by the righteous path, they will not be able to help them, and their relatives will betray them, then they will not be far from death.

Especially in front of a person with a suspicious attitude like Ming Qin, he has to work hard, saying that he is kind-hearted, but like a victim.

Ming Qin has seen the methods of Yin to deal with the Jiang family, which can really be said to be inhumane, but I don't know if it is from Yin Wuya's instructions.

"The struggle for power has always been a matter of life and death, leaving no room for error, and it is understandable for the Taoist to do so. I don't know what Jiang Ji is like, and I think that Xiang Yu took Liu Bang's father hostage and forced him to surrender. Liu Bang said, 'You and I were brothers, my father is your father, if you want to kill your father, you can get a piece of my pie.'" If Jiang Ji has no scruples, even if the Dao Chief has hostages, I am afraid it will not be of much use. ”

This story is very famous, and it has always been considered a stain on Liu Bang, similar things are not only common in history, but there are also examples in reality, and there are probably few who can save the hostages without being threatened.

And Liu Bang is the only one who can protect his father, which can be said to be his superiority. As for what he said to Xiang Yu, it was just a tactical need, and it was unfair to think that it was a stain on him.

When Liu Bang raised troops to resist the tyrannical Qin, Xiao He and Cao Shen were both county officials and were known for their prestige, and the villagers elected them as their leaders. The two knew that this was a crime of losing their heads, and once they failed, they would inevitably harm their families, so they didn't dare to admit it. Ordinary people do not care about their parents and wives, otherwise these people would not have the value of being hostages. But doing extraordinary things also puts parents, relatives and friends out of the way.

Xiang Yu is known as a hero, but taking Pei Gong's father and wife hostage is tantamount to villainy. The world does not blame him for acting despicable, but instead scolds Pei Gong for being a scoundrel, and it is inevitable that he favors one over the other.

The two armies are fighting, which is related to the life and death of thousands of soldiers, and the commander is tied to it, and it is already difficult to ride a tiger, which is the time to take care of his parents, wives, and children. If you cherish your parents, you should regress as early as Xiao He and Xiao Shen, and when it comes to Liu Bang's situation, it is still a great luck in misfortune to be able to protect his father and wife by taking a little infamy.

Thinking about it at that time, if Liu Bang was threatened by Xiang Yu and surrendered in the armor, I am afraid that the brave generals around him may not agree, these people who climb the dragon and attach the phoenix and Xiang Yu have been attacking and killing for many years, and if they surrender, the end will not be much better than Zhong Liwu and Ji Bu.

Taking a step back, Liu Bang can really surrender, and the ministers and brave generals are willing to be killed, and Taigong and Lu Pheasant will not live for a few more days. At most, Liu Bangbo has a reputation of benevolence and filial piety. But Liu Bang's family will be killed the day after tomorrow, and benevolence and filial piety will not be available, and they will be scolded as foolish and filial.

In fact, the trap set by Xiang Yu is not in the life and death of Taigong, but in the name of morality. Taigong will die, Liu Bang will not surrender, Liu Bang knows, the strategists and brave generals around him know, and Xiang Yu also knows it.

At first, the heroes and exterminated the tyrannical Qin, everyone had the name of justice, Xiang Yu ran the world with force, Liu Bang had the name of the elder, and when Xiang Yu killed the righteous emperor, Liu Bang listened to the advice of the three elders and mourned for the righteous emperor. Xiang Yu lost the name of justice.

Ritual religion is also called famous religion, as a concept, the name has a great potential force, some forces rise and fall, and the essence of the name plays a role in the subtle and imperceptible.

Chu Han fought against Xingyang, the soldiers were tired, both sides were the end of the strong crossbow, Xiang Yu pushed out Taigong at this time, nothing more than to let Pei Gong bear the stigma of unfilial piety, parents are from the body, if a person can ignore the life and death of his parents, others are naturally insignificant, Zhongxia especially advocates filial piety, but also because filial piety is a core concept of benevolence.

The commander has a reputation for unfilial piety, which will inevitably have a bad impact on the morale of the army. Xiang Yuqian's donkey skills are poor, and it can be said that he has tried his best to deal with Liu Bang. Liu Bang was in such a situation, and there seemed to be no other way than to watch Taigong being killed.

It may be possible to exchange hostages, but it is obvious that there is no one who can be found with the same amount of hostages as Taigong. Xiang Yu's father died early, and his uncle Xiang Liang had also died in battle, Xiang Bo was probably not enough, and he was in Xiang Yu's army.

But coincidentally, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu are both Chu generals and once became brothers, so that the crime of unfilial piety is not unique to Liu Bang, and Liu Bang's so-called share of the pie seems to have the meaning of sharing this notoriety.

Xiang Yu should not be naΓ―ve to think that kidnapping or killing Taigong would make Liu Bang surrender, and the strategy of using the name to hit the morale of Liu Bang's army failed, and Taigong miraculously escaped.

It's a pity that the hostages and kidnappers in the world can't be related to each other, so most of these things end in tragedy.

Liu Bang created a dynasty of cloth generals with a commoner, and three generations later, the Han Dynasty was the only country and had a far-reaching influence. But Liu Bang's reputation seems to be quite a lot, and there are really things that are not very acceptable. It is said that Taishi Gongfei Bo Liu Bang praised Xiang Yu, this kind of argument was passed down by him, but in fact, it is not necessarily true.

Liu Bang's family background is ordinary, and he has not received a good education, so he can't help but have some market atmosphere. There are also criticisms of actions.

Just like the matter of sharing the soup, is it not a crime to be discussed by the world? As for the more widespread criticism of the killing of meritorious heroes, it is also unfair. It's just that it has nothing to do with this section, so it's not convenient to go into details.

Ming Qin mentioned that Xiang Yu had taken Taigong hostage, and Liu Bang did not care much about it. This is something that Yin Wuya has never thought deeply, if Jiang Ji is not threatened, it is indeed a bit tricky, and as far as he knows, Jiang Ji can become the concubine of the elephant lord, all of which are planned by the cult, in this way, Jiang Ji is just a puppet of the cult, and there may be someone else behind the situation who controls the situation, even if Jiang Ji wants to protect her parents, I am afraid it will be difficult to do anything.

"Little brother, I can't ignore this. In your opinion, what is the best way to deal with Jiang Ji?"

Ming Qin said with a smile: "The Taoist is clever, don't you know that 'knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles'." You regard Jiang Ji as a big trouble, and I don't know how much you know about her and the cult. (To be continued.) )
