Ying Zheng thought for a while and asked Xiang Jifa: "Master, why didn't you dissuade Gou Jian at that time?"
Ji Fa said: "I didn't reveal my identity at that time. I just met him a few times. This is one of them. Also, after destroying the Kingdom of Wu, Gou Jian was already old and there were no more It’s time to unify China, let alone complete other tasks.”
Indeed, Gou Jian has endured humiliation and heavy burdens for many years and has been developing the national strength of Yue. He does not have the family background left by his ancestors like Ying Zheng.
When Gou Jian finally trampled the King of Wu under his feet, he was already old, and neither physically nor mentally could support the important task of the Heavenly Successor.
This is why even Ying Zheng's birth was planned.
Ying Zheng sighed and said: "Master, over the past eight hundred years, you have really worked hard and tried various methods. Thank you for your hard work."
Ji Fa stroked his white beard and said: "As a Heavenly Successor, you have to bear more responsibilities, see higher and farther than ordinary people, and have a broader picture."
"You are the last successor. Naturally, you don't have to worry too much about choosing a successor. However, you have to grasp the future historical trend and ensure that your thousand-year plan is completed in an orderly manner. This is actually more difficult."
Ying Zheng nodded and said: "I understand this, but as Master said, things are unpredictable, so you can only do your best."
"You just need to be determined." Ji Fa changed the subject, "After talking about what happened so long ago, tell me about the process of going to South Korea this time."
Only then did Ying Zheng collect his thoughts and tell the whole story exactly.
Ji Fa stroked his white beard from time to time and listened carefully to every word Ying Zheng said.
"Xi really died by cutting off his heart?" Ji Fa asked.
"It died on its own. It was no longer breathing at the time, but if it didn't cut off its heart, I wouldn't be able to tell." Ying Zheng replied.
Ji Fa analyzed: "Based on the appearance you mentioned, it is true that it cut off its heart. Alas, it seems that Xi is determined not to die in the hands of Yaizhen."
"Yes, it is full of resentment towards Yaizhen, but Yaizhen always misses its friendship." Ying Zheng said.
"That's not necessarily true," Ji Fa said. "In my opinion, Yajue didn't report this matter to Jiuyou because it was afraid of being punished by sitting together."
"After all, it is not good for the supervision of subordinates. It also has certain responsibilities."
Ying Zheng said in confusion: "But the Zhu Jiuyou named Twenty-Seven has already come to help."
"Maybe it's a private friendship," Ji Fa said. "When you meet other guardian beasts in the future, don't mention the New Year's Eve incident easily unless they ask you first."
Ying Zheng nodded and said, "I understand, but Master, what do the other eight guardian beasts look like?"
Ji Fa took out a picture album from his arms, handed it to Ying Zheng, and said, "They are all here. Take a look when you have nothing to do. I should have given them to you a long time ago."
After Ying Zheng took it, he didn't open it, but put it directly into his arms.
Ji Fa asked: "By the way, you just said that before Xi Ta died, he advised you to ban the use of firecrackers in the future?"
"Yes." Ying Zheng replied, "That is indeed what it said. It said that firecrackers are more dangerous than 'my weapons'. Since 'my weapons' are banned, then firecrackers or gunpowder should also be banned. Although I I think what it said made sense, but I always felt that it was scared out of its wits by the firecrackers."
Ji Fa thought for a while and then said: "What it said is indeed true. This gunpowder is indeed much more difficult to control than 'my weapon'. If future generations use it to transform weapons with greater lethality, they will It’s more difficult to control.”
"If gunpowder is put into a bamboo tube, it can blow up huge rocks. If it is put into an iron barrel, it won't shake the earth. Even if it is banned, someone may still use it secretly."
"Besides, if important things are used by people from other countries, how can you disable it?"
win
The political situation was filled with embarrassment and he asked: "Then what does Master think we should do?"
Ji Fa thought for a while and said: "The formula of this gunpowder has not been announced to the outside world. Only the people in Jingyao know it. You just need to ask those who know the formula not to tell it to the public, and let the formula rot in their stomachs."
"If the people don't know the preparation method, they will naturally not be able to make gunpowder. As for when someone discovers the preparation method, it depends on God's will."
"Okay." Ying Zheng responded, "I will never let anyone leak the formula."
Ying Zheng has always taken this aspect very seriously, because he did not want other countries to get it. Otherwise, how could the Korean people set off the remaining firecrackers when they were in Luoyi.
"By the way, Master, I have brought all the 'my weapons'. When will we start smelting?" Ying Zheng asked.
"There's no rush, let's go find Yaizhen first."
Ying Zheng responded and followed Ji Fa out to the forbidden area.
This time, it was twenty-seven who greeted them.
As soon as they met, Twenty-Seven asked: "So Xi Dan, are you okay?"
"Very good, very safe." Ying Zheng replied, "And we will give it an hour to hatch every day."
"Well, not bad." Twenty-seven spat out the snake letter and said, "It's just a year, which is too long. If I were to hatch it, it would only take more than ten days."
With Zhu Jiuyou's ability, it shouldn't be a big problem.
Ying Zheng said with a smile: "How about I take it back and ask senior to help?"
Twenty-seven glanced at him sideways and said: "If I come to hatch, is that still the explanation you gave Xi? Besides, it will be good for the little guy to hatch slowly."
The two of them arrived at Yasui's residence, only to see Yasui sleeping.
Twenty-seven called a few times before it slowly woke up.
"Are you here?" Yaizhen's voice was a little lazy.
"Well, senior, I have basically calmed down the public's complaints and properly handled the subsequent matters." Ying Zheng said.
"That's good." Yaizhen straightened up and said, "How's the hatching of the Xi egg going? Are you still used to it?"
"Everything is okay. We have someone to protect us now." Then Ying Zheng expressed his thoughts about destroying 'my weapon'.
"Although it is something left by the Yellow Emperor, it belongs to you now." Yazui said, "You have the final say on how to deal with it. Just don't hinder the construction of the royal tomb. It is best to use those alloys to build the royal tomb to protect it. of the facade.”
Ying Zheng's eyes lit up: "Yes, why didn't I think of that? Thank you, senior, for reminding me."
"Well, let's go." Yazhen said, "I have spent some energy on condensing Xidan this time. It will take a while to repair it. If there is nothing too important, I won't come."
Judging from Yaizhen's demeanor, he was indeed listless, so Ying Zheng and Ji Fa said goodbye and left the forbidden area.
"Master." Ying Zheng whispered, "Do you feel something is wrong?"
Ji Fa asked: "Are you talking about the state of Yajue?"
Ying Zheng nodded: "When we were in Luoyi, it was no different from usual. Why did it become so weak after it came back?"
"Perhaps condensing the Xidan is really time-consuming." Ji Fa said, "No one knows what the specific side effects will be. They may not show up until after it comes back. We can't help, so don't worry about it. .”
"Understood." Ying Zheng said again, "Then it says that alloy is used as a protective layer for the royal tomb. What do you think, Master?"
"It's possible, but we still need to discuss how to design it." Ji Fa said.
Ying Zheng said: "Okay, let's start smelting."
Back at the camp, Ying Zheng ordered Li Si to sort out the equipment, find the black fire oil, and begin to smelt "my equipment" one after another.
Ji Fa called Jing Fan into his tent and together they studied how to put an alloy shell on the royal tomb.
And this time the smelting,
It's a lot less troublesome than before, at least there's no need to melt away the big mountain-like chunks of alloy bit by bit.
Watching the "I's" being thrown into the furnace one by one, Ying Zheng felt quite complicated.
Thinking back to the time when he was led by Jing Liang into Qishan Mountain to meet Ji Fa, he accidentally discovered the secret room used to commemorate the ancient magic weapon.
Turtle shells and animal bones engraved with ancient writings were also discovered.
Only then did he learn the origin of the ancient magic weapons and the secrets about the Yellow Emperor.
The Yellow Emperor was chased by Chi You and accidentally discovered a secret room containing ancient smelting secrets while fleeing, thus becoming the fourth of the Five Emperors, the "Golden Emperor".
Huang Di had an unexpected encounter and built three thousand "I-weapons", defeating Chi You in one fell swoop and stabilizing the country.
Later, because he found the "Huangdi Jing", he gave up killing and violence, smelted all the "weapons" and buried them here.
So, is this ancient magic weapon a blessing or a curse?
No one has the right answer.
It is a blessing or a curse, depending on whose hands it is placed.
If good people use it, they will be able to eradicate violence, promote good and punish evil, and intimidate all directions.
If an evil person gets it, he will do evil, bully men and dominate women, and bring disaster to the country and the people.
Who can guarantee that those evil people will not be able to obtain this super powerful weapon?
No one dares to make this bet.
Therefore, it would be better for this magic weapon to never appear than to allow those evil people to take advantage of it.
Although he had already made up his mind, Ying Zheng still felt a little regretful in his heart.
Destroying advanced relics from ancient times, is this considered a regression of civilization?
Logically speaking, it is.
But are good things really suitable for all people?
Of course not.
For example, Ling Gu Dan is a magical elixir that activates the potential of the human brain, greatly improves various abilities of the human body, and greatly extends life span.
But if this elixir were promoted among the common people, it would really be a complete mess.
Evil people will use that powerful power and self-healing ability to do more bad things, and the consequences may be even more serious than using "my weapon".
Moreover, if everyone lives for hundreds of thousands of years, the population will definitely increase exponentially.
Apart from anything else, food alone is not enough.
This is also the fundamental reason why the Tiancheng lineage has kept so many secrets since Fuxi.
Jiuding, the Heavenly Eye known as Nuwa Stone, Xuanyuan Sword, "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", as well as those ancient secret books on forging, medicine, five elements of energy, etc., may all be immortalized forever after Ying Zheng completes his final core mission. Disappeared from the sight of the people.
All that remains are the legends of the past.
After thinking about it, Ying Zheng suddenly wanted to imitate Huang Di and leave something for this ancient magic weapon.
He looked at the state captain Cao Liao who was also stunned beside him, and said: "Cao Liao, help me do something."
Cao Liao was secretly regretting "my weapon" who had been with him day and night. When Ying Zheng called out to him, he came to his senses and cupped his hands and said, "That's what the king ordered."
Ying Zheng sighed softly and said: "Help me build a tombstone and write two inscriptions on it: I would rather teach me to betray the world than teach the world to betray me!"
"Yes." Cao Liao took the order and stepped away, pondering the meaning of the two sentences in his mind.
I would rather smelt out "my weapon" now and let the people of the world survive the war for a few more years than to have another dispute in China because of "my weapon"; I hope that after the world is peaceful in the future, the people of the world will live in harmony and not let down the ruined This is the good intention of "My Instrument".
[Later, the descendants of the Cao family used these two inscriptions as their ancestral precepts, and conspired with the Lu family and the Sima family to plan a thousand-year plan. This is how Cao Cao was rescued by Lu Boshe, and Chen Gong was sent to find Lu Bu. Cao Cao deliberately The defeat of Chibi led to Sima Yi’s Three Kingdoms story]
