Chapter 1: Searching for Life
Before the Great Zhou, there were two powerful dynasties, Xia and Shang. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Shang destroyed the Xia Dynasty, after more than 1,000 years, because of the cruelty and tyranny of the King of Zhou, King Wu of Zhou led the princes to raise troops to attack the Shang Dynasty, and the Shang Dynasty perished.
However, according to the ritual law of the feudal system, even if the Shang Dynasty fell, the previous aristocratic sects could still not be extinct.
Therefore, when King Wu divided the princes, Wu Geng, the son of King Wu, was divided into Yin Di to worship his ancestors.
After the death of King Wu of Zhou, Wu Geng led the army to rebel and wanted to restore the glory of the Shang Dynasty, but was killed by Zhou Pingping's rebellion, and he was named the brother of the king of Zhou, Weizi Qi in Shangqiu, and the country name Song.
Since then, the Song State has been established for thousands of years.
According to the bloodline, the Song clan actually flowed with the blood of the Shang Dynasty royal family, and in the hierarchical Kyushu continent, this bloodline was undoubtedly very noble.
Even if the Shang Dynasty has been destroyed for thousands of years, this glory inherited from the bloodline is still inherited by the Song clan, and it is also the proud capital of the Song clan.
Since the Song dynasty originated from the orthodoxy of the Shang Dynasty, the Song dynasty still attached great importance to tradition even as the times changed.
However, compared to the Lu state, which followed the rituals of the Zhou royal family, many of the traditions followed by the Song state came from the Shang dynasty, which made the customs of the Song state somewhat different from the rest of the country.
After Huan Chang said goodbye to Han Shaoyun, he went to Piaoxue Peak, but learned that Ah Niu had been in retreat and had not seen anyone at all in recent years.
In desperation, Huan Chang had no choice but to say goodbye to the peak master of Drifting Snow Peak, and rushed towards the Song Kingdom.
Entering the territory of the Song Kingdom, Huan Chang felt a deep discomfort, and he even felt that he had come to the legendary Shang Dynasty.
Compared with the rest of the country, the Song state appeared to be more harmonious, the character of the people was very gentle, and the government advocated benevolence and righteousness, and the laws were relatively relaxed.
Huan Chang slowed down Xiao Hei and slowly traveled through the territory of the Song Kingdom.
During this period, Huan often saw that some thieves were arrested by the officials, but the government did not punish the thieves, but took them to his hometown and let the thieves go.
When the neighbors learned that there was a thief in the village, they were all ashamed, and the thief actually committed suicide by jumping into the river in shame.
If Huan Chang hadn't happened to pass by and rescued the thief, the thief would have died, but since then, the thief has never had the face to return home, and he has disappeared from the land.
In addition, Huan Chang was on the way to the road, and he also found that many people did not close their doors at night and did not leave the road behind.
This kind of atmosphere also surprised Huan Chang, he didn't expect the security of Song Kingdom to be so good.
The most important thing is that compared with other countries, warriors in the Song Kingdom are very rare, Huan often walked through several counties, and did not meet many warriors.
As for those who are strong in martial arts, there are even few.
"Is this Song Guo? It's really special!"
At this time, Huan Chang seemed to understand a little why the ancestor of the Shujian Pavilion would help the Song Kingdom.
The Book Sword Pavilion is the first book and then the sword, although it is also a hidden sect, there is a kind of elegance in the bones, which is very consistent with the atmosphere of the Song Kingdom.
Huan Chang has traveled in the Song Kingdom for more than two months, and the New Year has passed, and he still did not go directly to Shangqiu, the capital of the Song Kingdom.
In the peaceful atmosphere of Song Guo, Huan Chang also felt that his soul had been sublimated, and the tyrannical aura accumulated on his body before that was also slowly dissolved.
"It's no wonder that the disciples of the major sects, after reaching a certain realm, will travel to the vassal states of Kyushu, and only after seeing the different scenery of the vassal states can their horizons become more broad. ”
On the way to martial arts cultivation, if you want to rely on penance to reach the peak, there is no possibility at all.
Cultivation is also the cultivation of the mind, everything in the world has its trajectory, and these trajectories are also the Tao, only by touching these trajectories, the realm of martial artists can be continuously improved.
In the end, when the warrior can see a certain trajectory thoroughly, and even be able to transcend it, he will become a peerless powerhouse who can break through the threshold of life and death.
In the process of traveling, Huan Chang also felt that his state of mind was constantly improving, and the true qi in his body was slowly increasing, although he did not reach the peak realm of entering the room, he also kept accumulating.
"In the Song Kingdom, I felt a natural way, where there were not too many laws and regulations, and even the government was often reluctant to force the problem to be solved. ”
"It's inconceivable that the Song State governed the country in this way, and it can survive to this day. ”
Although the atmosphere of the Song State made the country extremely peaceful, it also caused the government to be too weak, and the army was far from the rest of the princes in terms of combat effectiveness and numbers.
In fact, if the Song Kingdom had not had its previous glory and inherited the royal blood of the Shang Dynasty, I am afraid that it would have been destroyed long ago.
"Such a country is too idealistic, and although the people live and work in peace and contentment, it is not suitable to live in this world of great contention. ”
Looking at those Song citizens who were walking with smiles, Huan Chang suddenly felt a little heartbroken, he didn't know how long Song Guo could maintain the status quo in this environment.
In the past two years, Huan Chang has long felt that Kyushu is surging, there are many genius disciples of major sects, and the vassal states are also making big moves, wanting to recruit talents to change the law and strengthen the country.
In addition, the treaty signed that year has expired, and the five hidden world sects have been born one after another, Huan Chang can predict that Kyushu will set off stormy waves sooner or later.
Huan Chang was a little worried that the weak Song State had no way to protect itself under such stormy waves.
"If you are good, you will help the world, and if you are poor, you will be good alone. ”
"I'm just a small person now, and I can't affect the situation in Kyushu at all, and I can't control what the future of the Song Kingdom is. ”
In the end, Huan Chang still sighed.
In fact, Huan Chang had another thought, that is, he suspected that the Shujian Pavilion had a conflict with the Song State Clan.
Otherwise, Master Xu Yu would not have taken himself and hid in the country of Lu for so many years.
"I just want to know what kind of background I have. ”
Huan Chang shook his head, and involuntarily clenched the jade pendant in his hand, feeling the warm feeling from the jade pendant, Huan Chang's ancient and modern state of mind was actually a little thumping.
Over the years, although Huan Chang rarely mentions his parents, he also very much wants to know his background.
It's just that when he was a child, Huan often asked Xu Chang many times, but Xu Yu talked about him left and right every time, and refused to tell Huan Chang the truth.
The only clues left for Huan Chang were his surname and the jade pendant he was wearing.
In the past, Huan Chang didn't know how special his surname was, until he met Fang Li in Qufu and listened to the other party's explanation, he knew that this surname had long since ceased to exist.
Even if it once existed, it was related to the Song dynasty.
At that time, Fang Li also mentioned the evolution of the surnames of the Song Gong clan, of which there were eight surnames: Song, Kong, Hua, Xiao, Dai, Huan, Niu, and Mu.
And many of these surnames are evolved from sub-surnames.
At the beginning, Song Xiangcheng took Zi as his surname, but since Song Xianggong, for some reason, the surname Zi has almost disappeared.
The jade pendant worn by Huan Chang is also said to be related to the Song dynasty, because the jade pendant is engraved with the word 'son' and a pattern representing the Song dynasty.
"It seems that I have to go to the capital of the Song Kingdom. ”
