Jianwang Mountain is located in a large mountain range. The surrounding mountains stand very steep, and the cliffs overlooking the clouds are very majestic.
And at this time,
Gu Qingcheng stared at a cliff in a daze, and said slowly: "Master Hou, don't be misled by the ordinary way of inheriting martial arts. The method of Dongtian is a set of practice methods that are completely different from martial arts. Moreover, compared with martial arts, It has been passed down for too long, and in addition, the method of Cave Heaven is very different from martial arts, so the method of inheritance is very different."
While talking, Gu Qingcheng opened Wei Wuya's notebook again and continued: "Because the method of Cave Heaven is very precious and special, generally speaking, the number of people who know it is limited, but Wei Wuya definitely knows it, he is here This notebook contains scattered records of some of his experiences in comprehending the methods of the cave, and this stone wall fits the records very well."
Gu Zhan frowned slightly. He was a little surprised when he looked at the cliff that was about thirty feet high.
Or have I been misled by inertial thinking?
If it weren't for Gu Qingcheng walking with him today, there would be no way he would associate a practice inheritance method with a cliff.
Gu Qingcheng looked at the cliff for a long time, then slowly squatted down and flipped through Wei Wuya's notebook. While flipping through it, he said: "Master Marquis, there are generally restrictions on the inheritance of the method of cave heaven, and the solution must be fixed before it can be opened. If the solution is wrong, the ban may be triggered and the inheritance will be destroyed.”
Gu Zhan nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble Miss Gu Qi."
Gu Qingcheng smiled slightly and began to read the letters carefully.
The study of Ancient Qingcheng took a long time,
From noon to afternoon, when the sun was almost setting, she stood up and shouted: "Master Marquis, I found it!"
Gu Zhan was taking a nap while leaning on a rock, when he suddenly woke up and came over.
I saw Gu Qingcheng draw a pattern on the ground with branches, which was very clever and filled with a different charm.
Gu Qingcheng explained: "According to the scattered information recorded in Wei Wuya's handwriting, the way to unlock this restriction is to mobilize spiritual energy to condense runes. According to a specific size, if they are pulled to the cliff, they will be triggered. The restriction on the cliff is like a key opening a lock, unlocking the restriction."
Gu Zhan looked at Gu Qingcheng and felt a little emotional. It was not unreasonable for Gu Qingcheng to take charge of the Gu family as a daughter. She indeed had abilities that were different from ordinary people.
He had also briefly read through Wei Wuya's manuscripts. Most of them recorded conjectures about replacing spiritual energy with demonic energy, and there were only scattered remarks about the inheritance of Dongtian.
From these few words, Gu Qingcheng was able to deduce the position of the Dongtian inheritance and the forbidden runes in such a short period of time, which is indeed amazing.
"Miss Gu Qi, you are indeed a wonderful woman in the world, I admire her!" Gu Zhan praised.
"Your Majesty is overly praised, it's just a trick."
As he spoke, Gu Qingcheng put away the note and said: "Master Marquis, it is up to you to mobilize the spiritual energy to open the restriction. Although Qingcheng can also mobilize it, she is not sure it will be so accurate unless she has practiced it a thousand and eight hundred times. "
Gu Zhan looked at the rune pattern on the ground. It was indeed very delicate. It required high control of energy. Even a top master would find it difficult to mobilize the vitality of heaven and earth so accurately, let alone mobilize this untouched spiritual energy.
Immediately,
Gu Zhan performed a hand gesture, and the divine power flowed out of his body, causing the spiritual energy in the spirit gathering array to turbulence.
Soon, the spiritual energy in the spirit gathering array began to circulate at a speed visible to the naked eye. Like a whirlpool, wisps of spiritual energy were drawn out from the middle and spread towards the cliff, quickly intertwining in the air. runes.
"Buzz..."
A dull sound suddenly sounded in the air.
The aura rune quickly expanded and was imprinted on the cliff.
At that moment,
A series of lustrous veins appeared on the cliff and began to expand rapidly. A series of dazzling brilliance rushed up, flowing with endless divine brilliance. The dazzling Gu Zhan could hardly open his eyes.
Eye.
The brilliance flashed away, and Gu Zhan suddenly felt that he was in a strange space. There were figures one after another, which were also like fonts. They were densely packed and so tiny that they were almost impossible to see. They were flying in front of his eyes, and every ancient character was like a font. Like a star shining brightly.
At that moment,
Gu Zhan realized that this was the difference between the inheritance method of Dongtian method and martial arts.
The inheritance of martial arts is recorded in books and relies on the dedicated research of scholars.
The practice system of Dongtian Method relies on comprehension.
While Gu Zhan was speculating, the system prompt sounded in his mind:
[Detected techniques that can be deduced*1]
【Detected spells that can be deduced*1】
【Detected spells that can be deduced*1】
【Detected spells that can be deduced*1】
…
Immediately, Gu Zhan opened the system page and checked.
The system contains a total of one technique and three spells.
According to the ability of the title of Martial Arts Pioneer, he can deduce martial arts skills of the same realm.
Immediately, Gu Zhan checked the collected skills. It was a three-star skill called Baopu Jing. However, although it was both a three-star skill, Baopu Jing was better than the Dahuang Ting he currently mastered. Not even close.
Dahuangting can cultivate to the fifth realm of seeing gods, but after the Baopu Sutra is deduced into a martial arts technique, it can only be cultivated to the third realm of seeing gods, and the deduction requires one billion experience points.
This meant nothing to Gu Zhan.
Then he looked at the other three spells.
One is called the Blinding Technique, the other is called the Fire Breathing Technique, and the other is called the Armor Condensing Technique.
When seeing these three spells,
Gu Zhan, combined with Gu Qingcheng's previous words, has basically determined that this world should be a world of cultivation before martial arts.
The so-called Mahayana magical powers are the spells used by some cultivators. Because the spells are all kinds of strange, many are called Mahayana magical powers, but in fact they have no practicality.
The Gu family's technique of creating dead trees and blooming flowers out of thin air is one of those spells that are useful for ordinary people but completely meaningless for masters. The same applies to the blinding and fire-breathing techniques here in Sword King City, which can only be used against ordinary people and real masters. It's of no use.
This also led to Gu Zhan not even being interested in reasoning about these two spells.
However, he still checked:
Spell: Blindness
Level: Elementary Spell
Transformable martial arts level: Xuan level upper level
…
Spell: Fire Breathing
Level: Intermediate spell
Transformable martial arts level: mid-level earth level
…
Spell: Armor Condensation
Level: Elementary magic
Transformable martial arts: Mahayana magical powers
…
It was just as he expected,
The blinding method is deduced into a martial arts skill, which can only be transformed into a black-level martial skill in the same environment, while the fire-breathing skill is slightly better and can reach the earth level.
For Gu Zhan today, the martial arts of the Xuanjie level have absolutely no value in reasoning.
However, the last Armor Condensation Technique surprised Gu Zhan.
Gu indeed has great expectations for this spell.
When fighting Wei Wuya before, Wei Wuya had used this spell to condense a pair of armor with demonic energy. It was very powerful. If it weren't for the fact that Gu Zhan's cultivation level was far superior to him, it would have brought a lot of damage. Troublesome, even, because Wei Wuya is obviously just starting out at most. If he reaches Dacheng, it will be interesting to fight!
Now, the level of this spell and the transformable martial arts did not disappoint Gu Zhan, and he actually deduced the Mahayana magical power that did not exist at all.
According to the system prompts,
Gu Zhan probably guessed the level of the cultivation spell.
It should be divided into low-level, junior high school and high school.
And it just corresponds to martial arts
Huang-level, Xuan-level, earth-level martial arts and Hinayana magical powers.
Above the high-level spells, there should be treasure arts, and treasure arts are most likely to be divided into junior high, middle and high levels.
And before,
The old Heavenly Master once said that the only thing that can kill the land gods in the cave is the Mahayana magical power, which should be referring to the precious magic.
It's just because people in this world don't know that magic also has levels, and because the essence of magic and magic relies on spiritual energy, they confuse them together and define all magic and magic as Mahayana magical power.
[Use 500 million experience points]
[Baoshu was successfully deduced into martial arts skills]
Elephant Armor Skill: It is divided into nine levels. Each level can obtain the power of an elephant. The armor of an elephant is infinitely powerful, invulnerable to all evil, invulnerable to water and fire, and invulnerable to spiritual soldiers.
…
Looking at the annotation of the Elephant Armor Gong,
A smile appeared on Gu Zhan's face, feeling a little happy.
The real Mahayana magical power,
And it is different from the Hinayana magical power method, which relies on the general trend of heaven and earth and is a borrowing force. But now this Mahayana magical power method is different. It is completely based on one's own energy and blood, supplemented by divine power.
Just at this time,
Gu Zhan suddenly had a blur in his mind.
He suddenly realized,
The surrounding environment has changed, and there is no longer the endless void surrounded by stars in the dark night.
He was still standing in front of the thatched cottage on the hill behind Sword King City.
Gu Qingcheng was watching at the side. Seeing Gu Zhan open his eyes, he hurriedly said: "Master Marquis, how are you? Have you realized the method of the cave?"
Gu Zhan looked around and saw that the sky had almost darkened, and asked, "How long has it been?"
"It's been almost two hours." Gu Qingcheng said: "It's already terrifying that it lasted two hours for you to realize the magic of the cave for the first time. According to my ancestor, most people's first time is about one stick of incense, and then Continuously comprehending, some may take several months, some may require many years to fully understand a cave method.”
Gu Zhan chuckled and said, "I have realized the truth completely. Let's go down the mountain."
Gu Qingcheng was stunned for a moment, cupped his hands, and praised: "Master Hou, you are indeed incomparable to others!"
Gu Zhan smiled slightly, said nothing more, and headed down the mountain.
"By the way, Lord Marquis," Gu Qingcheng said, "How to deal with the spirit gathering array in Sword King City?"
"Keep it," Gu Zhan said, "Maybe it will be of some use in the future."
Gu Qingcheng nodded, handed Wei Wuya's letter to Gu Zhan, and said, "Master Marquis, please keep this letter. If it spreads to the world, it will definitely be a bloody storm."
Gu Zhan looked at the handwritten note and said, "I see that Shenwu Dao is here. This thing... is tasteless, and it is a pity to discard it. Moreover, Wei Wuya's method is too difficult to copy, and the requirements in all aspects are too high." high."
Gu Zhan put the note in his arms and walked forward slowly. As he walked, he summoned the system:
[Use 100 million experience points]
[Elephant Armor Skill upgraded to entry level]
[Use 300 million experience points]
[Elephant Armor Skill Upgraded to Xiaocheng Level]
[Use 500 million experience points]
[Elephant Armor Skill Upgraded to Dacheng Level]
…
In one step,
Gu Zhan used 900 million experience points.
He directly upgraded the Mahayana magical power, Dharma Elephant Armor, to the Dacheng state, gained the power of the Nine Heavenly Elephants, and the armor of the Nine Heavenly Elephants. His energy and blood surged to the extreme.
At that moment,
Gu Zhan felt that the energy and blood in his body was like a sea rippling and roaring, vast and endless in power!
Gu Zhan took out a breath and looked at the system page:
Player: Gu Zhan

…
The afterglow of the setting sun cannot shine on the mountain behind Jianwang Mountain. There is only a faint light on the other side of the mountain, and the wisps of light can only be seen through the mountains and canyons.
Gu Zhan held Gu Qingcheng's shoulders, lifted his feet into the wind, and flew to the top of the mountain.
There is half a wheel of the setting sun like blood,
Gu Zhan landed on the top of the mountain and slowly stretched out his hand, as if the sun was within reach. Looking down, the vast clouds and mist were flowing on the mountainside.
"This is the highest place in Yunzhou, right?" Gu Zhan said slowly.
Gu Qingcheng stood behind, tilting her head slightly, a look of confusion appeared on her pretty face, then slowly raised her head, and when she saw the back, she seemed to have touched the sky.
"Sword King City is indeed the tallest in Yunyun Prefecture, and now it is at your feet, Lord Marquis!" Gu Qingcheng bowed and said in salute.
The cold wind blew in, blowing Gu Zhan's robe flying.
The remaining sunlight shone on him. At this time, the half-circle of the setting sun on the Western Mountain was just like the rising sun in the morning, shrouding it with a dull light.
Suddenly,
Gu Zhan seemed to have seen the fifth year of Qingli.
That day, the sun set in the west, leaving its afterglow on the world.
Outside Linjiang City, he galloped on his horse. On the saddle, two horizontal knives were inserted on the right side, and a cold iron bow and a quiver were placed on the left side. The quiver contained more than a dozen feather arrows.
He was carrying a package, and under the afterglow of the setting sun, the shadows of the man and the horse stretched very long, and he headed west.
When I looked up, I also saw the setting sun gradually setting in the west.
The formation of horseshoes is like a young man going on a long journey with his sword.
…
The setting sun was crimson, and Gu Zhan's shadow was still very long. He slowly took off the horizontal knife on his back.
"In the fifth year of Qingli, I left a sword on the top of Linjiang City. In the sixth year of Qingli, I left a sword on Lingxi Mountain in Pingyang Prefecture. In the seventh year of Qingli, I left a sword on the top of Canglan City. Got a knife, today..."
Gu Zhan unsheathed his sword and flicked it lightly with his finger. The clear "buzz" sound of the sword echoed in the air. The sword stabbed into the boulder on the ground and was embedded for two feet.
The horizontal knife was cold and shone with a cold light in the setting sun.
Gu Zhan turned his head slightly, looked at Gu Qingcheng, and asked: "Miss Gu Qi, tell me, where will my next sword be left?"
Gu Qingcheng remained calm, pondered for a while, and said: "That, of course, is a place higher than Sword King City!"
…
…
In the land of Yunxi, during this period, there have been waves of unrest, and major events one after another have attracted the attention of the whole world. However, because of the rebellion of the three states of Yunqingliang and Yunxi, it makes Yunxi seem uneasy. Not so grand.
However, Jianghu is different after all.
Gu Zhan broke the limits of martial arts, created a martial arts method to see the gods, killed Lao Tianshi and Wei Wuya, and finally became the center of the world. Even the world of the Southern Jin Dynasty and the Northern Wei Dynasty was in turmoil.
Yun Qingliang's three states rebelled, and the turmoil was the foundation of the Xia Kingdom. However, whether it was Gu Zhan's method of seeing the gods or Wei Wuya's new method of cave heaven, they could rewrite the inheritance of the cultivation era. No one among those cave heaven level forces could Don't care.
However, because of the rebellion in the three states and Yunxi is in the center, Yunxi is still in internal turmoil. However, anyone with some knowledge can feel that Yunxi will become the center of the whirlpool sooner or later.
To be precise, it’s Gu Zhan,
Now, two methods in the world that can change the rules for thousands of years are in his hands.
For general
Human beings may not feel the importance of those two methods, but those Dongtian-level forces who stand at the pinnacle of the world feel the sense of oppression. The switch of a new era is in Gu Zhan's hands.
Even Dongtian-level forces are likely to be wiped out in this torrent if they are not careful.
In this situation,
Not only the Xia Kingdom itself, but also the Southern Jin Dynasty, Northern Wei Dynasty and some small countries are also secretly coming towards Yunxi.
And at this time,
As the protagonist of this game that is likely to cause turmoil all over the world, Gu Zhan did not feel any pressure at all. After he left Sword King City, he went to Shiwan Mountain to find the Dongtian inheritance of the Moon Worship Sect.
However, he was very disappointed.
The magic of Dongtian is not as good as that of Sword King City. As for the magic, there is no magic at all. There are a few spells, which are meaningless to him.
After leaving Shiwandashan, he began to continuously recruit troops from all over Yunxi.
The Beidou Gang was frantically recruiting all parts of Yunxi during this stage to rebuild Yunxi. However, compared to the previous Yunxi, today's Yunxi is very different, mainly because of the differences between Gu Zhanyunhou and the general of the Zhenjun. His name lies in suppressing Yunxi, recruiting troops, and rebuilding the government.
In addition, after leaving Sword King City, Gu Qingcheng rushed to the Gu family's ancestral land without stopping.
She knew that this period of time would be the last period of peace in Yunxi, and it would not be long before it would become the center of a storm, and this storm was due to Gu Zhan. If Gu Zhan survived, the sea and sky would be brighter.
She has great confidence in Gu Zhan.
Therefore, she is very urgent,
If the Gu family misses this period of time, Gu Zhan may not be short of another Gu family in the future. The earlier he takes action, the greater the share he will occupy with Gu Zhan. Gu Zhan has cleaned up Yunxi, which is exactly what he needs in urgent need of people. occasion.
It is indeed as Gu Qingcheng thought,
Now that Gu Zhan has gathered the resources of various forces in Yunxi, there is indeed no shortage of money and food in a short period of time, but the biggest shortage is manpower.
Because Gu Zhan has risen too fast, and his territory has expanded at an unimaginable speed. He has no time to cultivate his foundation and team. As a result, he currently has not many capable people under his command, and it is difficult to govern the entire Yunxi land.
And the Gu family appeared very timely at this time.
When those people from the Gu family came to Yunxi one after another,
Rong Yichu and Nangong Weiyang breathed a sigh of relief.
Governing a place is different from managing a sect.
Most of the people under Gu Zhan came from the martial arts world and came to serve as officials to govern local areas or manage the army without knowing anything about it.
Therefore, during this period of time,
In terms of government affairs, Rong Yichu had to shoulder too much, and in terms of the military, Nangong Weiyang was too busy to touch the ground. However, Yunxi has always been a place with a strong atmosphere of Jianghu, and most of the people recruited were people from the Jianghu, who were not suitable for military affairs. .
However, with the arrival of people from the Gu family,
The land of Yunxi finally returned to normal order in a short period of time.
…
Canglan City, Yunhou Mansion.
The morning fog was slowly dissipated under the rising sun.
Rong Yichu had an unimpeded journey and went straight to Gu Zhan's courtyard.
Yunhou Mansion was the original city lord's palace of Canglan City. Today's Yunhou Mansion is naturally not comparable to the original city lord's palace. The palace is heavily guarded and has many masters.
However, Rong Yichu can pass freely in the city lord's palace, which is also authorized by Gu Zhan, and no one in the Yunhou Mansion does not know Rong Yichu, who holds several official positions, and is more powerful than one person in Yunxi. .
Arriving outside the compound where Gu Zhan lives,
Rong Yichu stopped and did not rush in rashly. Although Gu Zhan said that he could pass as he pleased, Rong Yichu knew what propriety meant in his heart.
Just when Rong Yichu was about to let the guards pass the message,
A woman with extremely beautiful appearance and graceful figure walked out of the courtyard. She was none other than Kou Baimen, the former saint of the Moon Worship Sect. However, since Gu Zhan unified Yunxi, in
Rong Yichu believed that both the Jianghu and the officialdom must be controlled, so he rebuilt the Wulin Alliance with Kou Baimen as its leader.
"Kou leader!" Rong Yichu shouted.
Kou Baimen tilted his head, cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Rong, are you here to see the Marquis?"
"Yes," Rong Yichu said, "There are some official matters that need to be reported. I thought I would come down early enough, but I didn't expect the leader of Kou to come earlier."
Kou Baimen smiled and said, "Then no matter how early you are, you can't be as early as me. I was here last night!"
Rong Yichu: "Kou leader has worked hard..."
"It's hard work, Lord Marquis," Kou Baimen chuckled and said, "You came just in time, Lord Marquis asked me to find you."
Rong Yichu asked doubtfully: "What's the matter?"
Kou Baimen put away the smile on his face, became very serious, and said: "Recently, I found many people from the White Lotus Sect sneaking in from the north on the Shiwanda Mountain. The Marquis suspected that it was due to changes in the war situation in Yunzhou. Bailian The teacher may want to hide in Shiwan Mountain."
Rong Yichu said: "I came to Mr. Hou today because of this matter. However, the information I have here is a little more than yours, and it is more accurate."
"what news?"
Suddenly, at this moment, Gu Zhan's voice came from the courtyard, and a figure slowly appeared.
Rong Yichu and Kou Baimen hurriedly performed the ceremony.
Rong Yichu reported: "Master Hou, I secretly bribed several secret agents of Qin Tianjian before. I just got the news that there is internal strife in the White Lotus Sect, the rebellion of Chengyang Marquis failed, and the troops of the Ling family and the Dugu clan in Qingzhou and Liangzhou are all here. They mutinied at the same time and were attacked from both inside and outside the imperial court. Their defeat is certain!"
As soon as Kou Baimen heard Rong Yichu's words, he cupped his hands towards Gu Zhan and said, "Master Marquis, since you have important matters to discuss with Mr. Rong, then I will leave first!"
"No need," Gu Zhan waved his hand and said, "You should also come and listen. You are now in charge of the Wulin League, and the direction of the entire Yunxi world depends on your hands. You also need to know these things."
Kou Baimen was stunned for a moment, then he cupped his hands and said, "Yes."
Gu Zhan nodded slightly, patted Rong Yichu on the shoulder and said, "Let's go in and talk."
Soon, the three of them came to a living room and sat down one after another.
Gu Zhan picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and said, "Did you just say that there was internal strife in the White Lotus Sect?"
"yes."
Rong Yichu held up his hands, sighed, and said: "Actually, it can't be said to be internal strife. To be precise, it was Yang Yunzhi's followers who took action. I have been guessing what Yang Yunzhi relied on to lure the Marquis of Chengyang to rebel. The end of the Dugu clan and the Ling family, this plan is really bold and crazy.
Cooperating with the Dugu Clan and the Ling family of the White Lotus Sect, they were able to raise nearly a million troops in a short period of time. If they were not careful, they could really hit Kyoto directly. Therefore, I have been thinking about Yang Yunzhi's future. What is the hand that can give him so much confidence?
I thought that Yang Yunzhi had been planning for so many years, and he must have placed a lot of people in Yunliangqingzhou, and they would mutiny as soon as the opportunity came, but I didn't expect that the goddess of the White Lotus Sect would be Yang Yunzhi's back-up man. "
Gu Zhan frowned slightly and said in surprise: "The Heavenly Lady of the White Lotus Sect?"
Rong Yichu nodded and said: "Since the Marquis of Chengyang shouted the slogan of Qing Jun, the White Lotus Sect's army spread from Yunzhou to Qingzhou and Liangzhou, cooperating with the Ling family and the Dugu clan to control the army. At the same time, the Ling family and the Dugu clan also controlled the army. In order to disperse the strength of the White Lotus Sect, it can be easily controlled.
During this period, the Chengyang Army and the Bailian Army cooperated very well. They controlled the three states with lightning speed, and the imperial army was blocked outside the three states.
Seeing that the situation was good, the Marquis of Chengyang gathered a large army and prepared to attack Fengtian. As long as Fengtian was captured, he could use the power of the three states to attack Kyoto.
The Marquis of Chengyang was also on guard, always wary of a mole within the Three Prefectures who was arranged by the imperial court. However, he never expected that this mole would actually be the goddess of the White Lotus Sect, or in other words, even the White Lotus Sect itself. Didn't notice it.
Just when the Marquis of Chengyang gathered an army to attack Fengtian, the White Lotus Sect's goddess suddenly attacked the White Lotus Sect's senior leaders from behind, and then took control of the White Lotus Sect.
The Chengyang Army was attacked from all over the Three Prefectures, and at the same time, the Anzi, who had been waiting quietly in the Three Prefectures for many years, were also dispatched.
Everyone's speculations were in the wrong direction. These secret agents were all inconspicuous middle- and lower-level officers. Previously, Chengyang Marquis Linghao had been focusing on investigating high-level officers. "
Gu Zhan nodded slightly and said, "That's understandable. After all, the ones who can affect this kind of battle situation cannot be the middle and lower-level officers."
Rong Yichu nodded and said: "That's true. After all, these people are scattered in the sand and can't play a big role. But the White Lotus Sect's goddess, who no one would have thought of, could be an insider. With her status, those who seem to be The scattered shadows condensed instantly.
The Marquis of Chengyang was caught off guard, and the imperial army that had been prepared launched a charge at this time. They cooperated internally and externally, and just when the Chengyang army was in chaos, they directly defeated the Chengyang army.
Marquis Chengyang, the defeat has been decided, and the recovery of the three states of Yunliangqing is just around the corner! "
Gu Zhan frowned, looked at Kou Baimen, and said, "So, the leader of Kou said that the people who found the White Lotus Sect in Shiwanda Mountain were the other members of the White Lotus Sect looking for a way to escape?"
Rong Yichu said: "The identity of the Heavenly Lady of the White Lotus Sect has now been exposed. She must be a member of the imperial court. She will definitely return to the imperial court with her lineage. However, the other group of real rebels from the White Lotus Sect Pai did not dare and could not surrender to the imperial court. They could only fight to the end or escape.
As for escaping, Shiwandashan is the most suitable place. There are high mountains, canyons, ravines and various natural chasms inside, as well as miasma beasts and other things, making it difficult for the imperial army to enter. "
Gu Zhan smiled lightly and looked at Kou Baimen.
Kou Baimen hurriedly raised his hands and said, "Don't worry, Lord Marquis, there is absolutely no one in the Hundred Thousand Mountains who is more familiar with our magic...Martial Arts League. If the White Lotus Sect enters the Hundred Thousand Mountains, every move will be clearly investigated."
Gu Zhan slowly looked out the door.
The thick fog in the early morning has been pierced by the bright red sunshine, and withered yellow leaves are flying around.
Winter is coming soon,
There was silence in the living room. After a while, Gu Zhan asked: "You think it was really a good deal for Yang Yunzhi to spend decades to create this? Three hundred thousand soldiers in Longguan, several years of war, and General, Liuhou, Wan Yan, etc., does he really think he can save the building from falling?"
Rong Yichu and Kou Baimen looked at each other.
Both of them were silent, not knowing how to answer.
…
Yunzhou, Linjiang City.
The long streets are in depression, the houses and alleys are dilapidated, the old trees are rotten, and the mottled city walls are old. The whole city is in this decadent atmosphere.
An army rushed into the government office.
At this time, the government office was empty.
Under a dead tree, there is an old man with white hair leaning on the dead tree reading a book. His back is very hunched, his white hair is messy and looks very old, his skin is dark and rough, he is very thin, so thin that only Skinny and bones, the book in his hand was shaking unconsciously.
This person is none other than the prefect of Linjiang, Yang Yunzhi.
An army rushed in, and the sound of fighting echoed in the dilapidated courtyard, surrounding Yang Yunzhi.
A middle-aged man wearing a suit of armor strode in. Wherever he passed, dead leaves on the ground flew to both sides. He was Linghao, the Marquis of Chengyang.
"Yang Yunzhi."
Ling Hao walked up to Yang Yunzhi, looked down at Yang Yunzhi, and said slowly: "You are so old!"
Yang Yunzhi raised his head, with a smile on his face full of wrinkles, and said: "Marquis Chengyang, you are here, sit down...sit down!"
Yang Yunzhi's skinny hands always trembled slightly unconsciously. He pointed to a small stone pillar next to him and invited Ling Hao to sit down.
Ling Hao waved his hand lightly, scattered all the dead leaves on the stone pillar, sat down slowly, and said: "The Yang Yunzhi in my impression is so high-spirited and elegant, so even if I know this defeat, Even though I was defeated by you, I felt that even though I was defeated, it was an honor, but at this time, you are already in this situation. Yang Yunzhi, you made me feel a little bit proud.
disappointment! "
Yang Yunzhi slowly closed the book in his hand, pushed himself up to sit up, and chuckled: "You're not disappointed, you're just unwilling to lose to such a dying person."
Ling Hao sighed and said: "I am indeed unwilling, Yang Yunzhi, you have spent these decades, your wife, children, children, loved relatives and friends, and 300,000 soldiers in Longguan, Yunzhou has been in war for several years, and countless people have been displaced. , just in exchange for a defeat for me, is this... really a good deal? Do you really think that the root cause of Xia Kingdom's corruption is entirely my Ling family and the Dugu clan? "
Yang Yunzhi shook his head slightly, patted the dead tree he was leaning on, and said: "Xia Guo is just like this old tree. It is too old. Its withering is not only due to its branches, but also to its branches. , the entire trunk has rotted!"
Ling Hao narrowed his eyes slightly and said nothing.
Yang Yunzhi continued: "If I want to save this tree, I must cut down all its trunks and let it sprout and branch again. However, the Ling family and the Dugu clan are just like those two branches. I If I want to cut down the tree trunks, they will definitely die, and they will not agree, so I have to cut them down first!"
Yang Yunzhi sighed and said: "To be honest, my death plan is stupid, not clever at all, it is completely stupid to hurt the enemy eight hundred and lose one thousand to yourself.
However, there is no other way. The Xia Kingdom has really grown so old that the roots of the trees have begun to rot. If I don’t do this, there is no way to save it. If it cannot be destroyed, it cannot be established. If I want to revive the Xia Kingdom, I must cut down the entire trunk. Yes! "
Ling Hao said in a deep voice: "Do you really think Xia Guo can be saved?"
"I don't know," Yang Yunzhi shook his head and said, "I don't know. Ever since I decided to implement the death plan forty years ago, I didn't know if Xia Guo could be saved. But, I met today's emperor, who has the same goals. You dare to bet the entire dynasty, so why shouldn’t I, Yang Yunzhi, dare to bet?”
After that, Yang Yunzhi pondered for a while and said: "Master Ling, a corrupt dynasty, a dynasty that has existed for hundreds of years and has been corrupted to the core. Do you think there is any other way to save it? In addition to rising from ruin, in silence Is there any other way to revive from destruction?"
Ling Hao was silent for a while and said, "The Ling family and the Dugu Clan are just the beginning."
"Yes," Yang Yunzhi said: "The Ling family and the Dugu clan have always controlled Qingzhou and Liangzhou. These two states are almost the gates of the country. However, the imperial decree cannot be implemented in these two states. The Ling family and the Dugu clan The influence of the clan was too great, and the imperial court was completely unable to control these two states.
However, the imperial court has reached an extreme level of decay, and a top-down comprehensive reform must be carried out. Once the reform is carried out, the first to be affected will be the aristocratic families in the world. They are all blood-sucking worms, all like tarsus. Like bone maggots, it clung to Xia Guo's body and kept sucking.
They don't care if the Xia Kingdom has been sucked dry, and they don't care if the people in the world can no longer bear it. In their eyes, as long as there are benefits to be sucked out, if they finish sucking it one day, then they will change the court. , change the world and continue sucking!
Therefore, if the Xia Kingdom wants to save itself, the first thing to do is to pull out these tarsal maggots. Today, there is such an ambition to break through and stand up again. However, the Ling family and the Dugu clan control Qingzhou and Liangzhou. Once the major aristocratic families rebound, the Ling family and the Dugu family only need to open their doors, and the Xia Kingdom will no longer have any chance of survival!
Even if the Ling family and the Dugu clan don't open the country, as long as you control Qingzhou and Liangzhou for a day, the imperial court will put a stop to it, and all changes will be reduced to empty talk. You have choked the imperial court! "
Ling Hao closed his eyes slightly and said, "So, you are betting on a future that is uncertain at all by paying such a high price to uproot the Ling family and the Dugu clan?"
Yang Yunzhi pondered for a while and said: "The Death Plan is just a prelude to Xia's reform. How can I be sure whether this song can be finished?"
However, my mission has been completed. Now that the Ling family and the Dugu clan have lost their absolute control over Qingzhou and Liangzhou, and the imperial court has no absolute lifeline and is controlled by the family clan, then in the next game, who will lose and who will win? It’s up to Your Majesty! "
Ling Hao let out a long sigh and said: "Yang Yunzhi, how elegant you were back then. You Yang Yunzhi should be the most dazzling person of this era. How could you...for this so-called change, in order to save a person who is already rotten to the core?" Dynasty, is it worth it for you to become such a lonely person and a little person that no one remembers anymore?"
Yang Yunzhi closed his eyes slightly, and after a long time, he said: "I used to think that I was doing it for the people of the world. It was not until some time ago that I realized that it was just an obsession. Is it worth it? I also want to know, is it worth it? ?」
Ling Hao said in a deep voice: "I can tell you the answer, it's not worth it!"
Yang Yunzhi looked puzzled.
Ling Hao said: "Because your prelude to save the building was not successful at all. The Ling family and the Dugu clan were defeated, but another person appeared in Yunzhou - Gu Zhan!"
Ling Hao sneered and said, "I was always upset that I couldn't kill Gu Zhan to avenge my son, but now, I'm glad I didn't kill him, because his existence will make you, Yang Yunzhi, and the emperor The plan has become an empty talk!"
Yang Yunzhi said slowly: "I know what you are thinking, because Gu Zhan is strong enough, he can defeat a clan by himself, and now that he has military power, he can also establish a warlord.
However, I am not worried, because Gu Zhan is different from the aristocratic families. He has no direct conflict of interest with the Daxia Reform. On the contrary, he is naturally on the same side as the imperial court. If the imperial court wants to weaken the influence of the aristocratic families, Gu Zhan also needs to Only in this way can we really gain momentum! "
Ling Hao chuckled and said, "Yes, your analysis is correct. Logically speaking, Gu Zhan should be a natural ally with the imperial court. It's just a pity, Yang Yunzhi, you made a miscalculation."
"What?" Yang Yunzhi was confused.
"pride and Prejudice!"
Ling Hao said in a deep voice: "Just like I have never taken Gu Zhan seriously, because I was born from a noble family, and Gu Zhan was born from a humble family. In my subconscious, when I face him, I am superior to him, no matter what he has." No matter what kind of achievements, in my opinion, they are nothing more than a nouveau riche!
To be honest, if it hadn't been for my defeat this time and my sudden fall into the dust, I'm afraid I would never have changed my arrogance and prejudice against him.
Even if I am like this, do you think the royal family and the princes in the court will put Gu Zhan on an equal footing? In their eyes, Gu Zhan is just a martial artist, and they will act condescendingly when facing Gu Zhan.
And, this person Gu Zhan..."
Ling Hao chuckled lightly and said, "Yang Yunzhi, you should know better than me what kind of person he is. What do you think he would do if the princes and the royal family acted like they were bossing him around? "
Yang Yunzhi frowned slightly and said nothing.
Ling Hao smiled heartily and said: "I took a closer look at Gu Zhan's life, and I think he is quite interesting. Although he came from a humble background, he never had the idea of breaking or changing the rules of the times, but he also had no intention of obeying. He is the kind of person who likes to be on top of the rules.
And he has been like this all the way to wherever he goes. If the rules are under him, everything will be calm. But if the rules in that place are above him and they want to restrain him, he will kill people directly, step by step. Fight above the rules. "
Ling Hao sighed and said, "So, Yang Yunzhi, what would the court's attitude be toward Gu Zhan? Should he let him make the rules together, or should he use the rules to oppress him?"
Yang Yunzhi was silent for a while and said, "Maybe, will it be different?"
Ling Hao laughed lightly: "Yang Yunzhi, do you believe in this, how are you amazing that year, how are you Yang Yunzhi, but have you broken those arrogance and prejudice? No, you Yang Yunzhi did not invest in Qin You at the beginning Under the door, even if you are unparalleled, someone has seen you? Even if the emperor is a good person today, he does not see his appearance, but he will not affect so many people, or that class! "
While talking,
Ling Hao slowly got up and said, "Yang Yunzhi, this problem is no solution, arrogance and prejudice, it is engraved in the bones, there is no way to change
Which era is so! "
Yang Yunzhi lowered his head,
For a long time, the wind was in the courtyard, and some of the dead leaves fluttered from scattered.
Yang Yunzhi raised his head slowly and said, "I ... what I can do is already, alas, that's it!"
Ling Hao narrowed his eyes slightly, leaned down slowly, and patted Yang Yunzhi's shoulder gently, saying, "Yang Yunzhi, you should take a step first, I will come later!"
After all,
Ling Hao threw a cloak, pulled his sword out of the sheath, walked towards the outside, rolled up the dead leaves and danced.
"Oath angelica!"
"Oath angelica!"
A group of soldiers shouted together, and as Ling Hao rushed out of the outside, the sound of Jin Ge sounded, and the spirit of killing was permeated.
At this time, Linjiang City,
The sound of horseshoe is magnificent,
Each signal bounced in the sky.
The sound of shouting and killing was ups and downs on all sides of Linjiang City.
The imperial army killed, and Ling Hao fought!
…
The wind swept the wind, in the yard, the dense dead leaves flew down, and the fluttering like a light snow.
At this time, the fallen leaves were flying in the sky, and it seemed a little tragic. Perhaps it was because of the city war in the city at this time, or just one or two pieces, like the leaves of the lonely lonely soul.
Yang Yunzhi was sitting under the tree, and his back was bowing his head,
The leaves fell on his white hair and also fell into his clothes,
The book he held in his hand slowly fell to the ground,
Let the dead leaves flutter and cover,
There is no sound.
