Chapter 299: The Battle of Dao in the Sharpening Hall!
After entering the door, there is a winding corridor across the pond and flower garden. Walk along the corridor, turn left and right, and look in all directions. The garden is covered with greenery. The scenery is different as you step, and the artistic conception is unique.
At the end of the winding corridor is a hexagonal stone pavilion, which is the center point of the pond and is connected by a stone bridge to the corridor surrounding the courtyard.
The stone bridge should refer to another entrance, and there is another space hidden inside, with towering old trees, dense and strong, and full of vitality.
Master Xu Ziyi and his disciples passed through the stone pavilion, crossed the bridge and climbed the corridor, and passed the second courtyard gate. Their eyes suddenly opened up. At the end was a magnificent five-bay wooden building, with a locust tree more than ten feet high.
In the center of the courtyard, there is a magnificent towering support, which covers the building and the courtyard like an umbrella. Under the sunshine, the green shade is everywhere, integrating with the main building, setting off each other into a staggered and towering shape, forming a poetic picture.
Seeing this stone, I couldn't help but feel very happy. After walking slowly around the locust tree to admire it, I followed Xu Ziyi and two others to slowly climb the white stone steps of the building with the words "Modao Hall" engraved on the plaque.
In the huge space of Mo Dao Hall, a man stands in the center of the hall with his back to the door. He does not have any weapons on his body. He is as tall and fit as a javelin. He is wearing a blue robe that hangs down to the ground. He is as majestic as a mountain. His black hair is decorated with red on the top of his head.
Tie it up into a bun, put your hands behind your back, and you can't even see the outline of the facial features, but you already have an arrogant and arrogant air, looking down on the world.
On the walls on both sides, there are more than a dozen swords of different shapes hanging on each side. On the other side of the door, there is a stalagmite-like, dark and smooth, tall stone on the wall, which adds to the already unique atmosphere of the knife grinding hall.
Add another indescribable meaning.
With Ji Qian's stubbornness and Shi Potian's simple and ignorant character, facing this outstanding figure who is known as the best mastermind in the world, she can't help but breathe heavily.
When Xu Ziyi saw this, he smiled slightly and said: "Master Song!"
A soft and pleasant voice replied: "You are late!"
Xu Ziyi said with a smile: "Yes, I'm late!"
Song Que turned around like a whirlwind and said coldly: "You are at least a year late."
Xu Ziyi faced Qi Zhentianxia, an opponent he had never faced before since his debut, the "Heavenly Sword" Song Que. The two looked at each other. In this huge knife-sharpening hall, two completely different momentums suddenly rose.
It is a handsome face without any flaws. Under the thick and clear eyebrows, there is a pair of shining eyes like gems. The broad forehead shows wisdom beyond ordinary people, and there is a hint of calmness.
The melancholy expression can impress anyone, but it makes people feel that the emotion is deep and elusive.
Song Que's temples were frosted, but they did not show signs of aging. Instead, they gave him the aristocratic air of a high-ranking official and the demeanor of a Confucian scholar. It was also daunting and unattainable. In conjunction with his well-proportioned and graceful body shape and
Yuanting Yuezhi's posture indeed has the intoxicating style of an incomparable top master.
He is much taller than Master Song Daoshang. If someone glances at him, others will definitely feel uneasy that nothing can be hidden from him.
But Xu Ziyi stood there, his expression still as usual, seemingly unmoved by Song Que's gaze.
"Junior pays homage to Lord Song!"
Ji Qian and Shi Potian, on the other hand, bowed to the man in front of them who looked as majestic as a god.
Xu Ziyi said with a smile: "Brother Song, for today's appointment, please don't blame me for bringing two disciples here!"
After hearing Xu Ziyi's explanation, Song Que slowly glanced at Ji Qian and Shi Potian who were standing aside. As a man whose reputation in the world was only lower than that of the three great masters, with his spiritual cultivation, he naturally quickly noticed the two people in front of him.
The junior’s cultivation is quite good.
Although Ji Qian is young, she has already become famous all over the world in recent years. She is regarded as the first among the young martial arts masters in the Central Plains. However, it is said that she is proficient in poisonous arts.
But now, under Song Que's mental induction, he could faintly notice that the girl's cultivation in front of him had a strange and strange feeling. It was obvious that the rumors in the world were untrue!
But the internal strength of another young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes made Song Que couldn't help but move his brows slightly, and he was obviously a little shocked.
After scanning the two of them with a hint of surprise, Song Que said, "If nothing happens, the world in twenty years will belong to you two!"
Hearing Song Que's praise, Ji Qian naturally didn't dare to praise him, but Xu Ziyi smiled and said nothing. As a disciple whom he personally taught, he naturally understood the potential of the two of them.
Twenty years later, no matter whether it is in China or outside the territory, there will be no more than five people who are qualified to compete with his two disciples!
After praising Ji Qian and the two, Song Que suddenly looked up at the roof beams and said calmly: "Since Emperor Min of the Jin Dynasty was captured by the Xiongnu Liu Yao, the Western Jin Dynasty fell, and the world was in a state of fragmentation. From then on, the barbarians were wreaking havoc, until Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty
In the ninth year of Emperor Kaihuang's reign, the Chen Dynasty was destroyed and the world was reunited. During this period of more than 270 years, evil people were in power and disrupted the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty. Although the Sui Dynasty was only established for thirty-eight years, Yang Guang was killed in Yangzhou by the Yuwen clan.
Even though time is short, it has opened up the golden age of the covenant. Whoever can dominate the world at this time can achieve great things. "
Song Que's eyes fell on Xu Ziyi again and suddenly asked: "Does Master Xu know why Yang Jian conquered the world in the past?"
Xu Ziyi mused: "There is a favorable time and place, and there is also a reason for the resurgence of the Han Dynasty!"
Xu Ziyi naturally understood the reason why Song Que suddenly asked questions, which was just to distinguish the so-called orthodoxy in their hearts.
Song Que looked up to the sky and smiled, saying: "That's right. When the young emperor succeeded to the throne, Yang Jian was in great power. No one in ancient times has conquered the world as easily as Yang Jian. From the time when Yang Jian assisted the government to usurping the throne and establishing the Sui Dynasty, he was only ten years old.
Months, the speed at which things can be accomplished is unprecedented in ancient and modern times."
After saying that, he showed a thoughtful expression, raised his hands behind his back, walked up and down, and stood still after walking about five steps. His eyes showed deep emotions, focusing on the locust tree in the courtyard, and he said spontaneously: "The reason why the Northern Wei Dynasty was able to unify
In the north, because the Xianbei Hu people are brave and good at fighting, the Han people are not opponents at all. But since the Hu people invaded our country, the land of Han people's ambitions, under the threat of life and death, all knew that it would be difficult to protect themselves if they did not strengthen themselves, so they turned to worshiping martial arts.
The wind has washed away the decadence of respecting Confucianism and cultivating literature since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
By the end of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, most of the generals in the army were Han, and Yang Jian was a general who had held military power for generations. It can be seen that the reason why Yang Jian ascended to the throne was the inevitable result of the revival of Han power."
"Yes, but this is also related to the untimely death of Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. If he hadn't insisted on destroying Buddhism, how could he have been seriously ill when he sent troops to conquer the Turks..."
Looking at Song Que in front of him, Xu Ziyi slowly expressed his views.
Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yuwen Yong, was a talented and strategic monarch. Especially in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, an era when tyrants and mediocre rulers emerged in large numbers, Yuwen Yong's existence became even more dazzling.
When Yu Wenyong came to the throne, he was controlled by the powerful minister Yu Wenhu, who deposed two monarchs one after another. His power was even greater than that of Dong Zhuo, the traitor of the Han Dynasty in the past.
As a young emperor, Yuwen Yong kept a low profile and spent several years to finally kill Yu Wenhu, the prime minister of power. After taking over the government, Yu Wenyong implemented the land equalization system, improved and developed the army system, and transferred the command of the army from outside the country.
The military governors of the governors took back the army and began to recruit peasants from every household to serve as government soldiers. This effectively expanded the source of soldiers, enriched the military strength, and laid the foundation for the future overthrow of the Northern Qi Dynasty.
Under the persuasion of his close Taoist priest Zhao Guizhen, he later carried out the extermination of Buddhism. All the Buddhist scriptures and statues in the northern monasteries were destroyed, and the monks and nuns returned to secular life and returned to military and civilian households.
Such a move would naturally benefit the country and the people, but it would offend the Buddhists.
Therefore, both Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty Yuwen Yong and his son Yu Wenbin died mysteriously in the end, which shows the Buddhist methods.
Song Que sighed: "Island Master Xu sees more clearly than ordinary people. Most people's eyes only fall on the court, but Island Master Xu's vision does not stop there!"
The Song Dynasty was inherited from the Jin Dynasty, so the secret of Yang Jian replacing Zhou Dynasty with the Sui Dynasty could not be hidden from the Song Dynasty.
After hearing what Xu Ziyi said, Song Que couldn't help but sigh at the viciousness of Xu Ziyi's eyes. At the same time, he also understood the implication of Xu Ziyi's words, which was nothing more than a reflection of the Cihang Jingzhai in today's Buddhist holy land.
"Nowadays, there are many powerful people in China and they are prosperous and lively. I wonder which family the Song clan leader thinks is qualified to unify the Central Plains?" Xu Ziyi said with a smile.
After hearing this, Song Que glanced at Xu Ziyi and said in a deep voice: "Now there are only two people who can catch my eye. One is Li Yuan's second son Shimin, and the other is you, Island Master Xu."
Different from Xu Ziyi's question, Song Que's answer was personal.
But this is extremely normal. The Sun Moon Sect can now occupy the two lakes and defeat Lin Shihong and Wagang Li Mi. Dongfang Bubai alone is far from being able to do this!
Now, the only one that all the heroes are afraid of is Xu Ziyi who fought in the Tiger Leap Gorge!
The disastrous defeat of Yang Guang's third expedition to Goryeo in the past was due to the intervention of "Yi Jian Master" Fu Cailin. Now Xu Ziyi is still young, which naturally arouses the fear of various forces.
Therefore, Song Que's answer was naturally Xu Ziyi!
Xu Ziyi looked as normal and said: "Oh, Lord Song has given you the award!"
Then his eyes couldn't help but fall on the whetstone enshrined at the end of the hall like a god. He searched through more than a dozen names engraved on the stone. He suddenly found that his name was written on the top of the stone, and he couldn't help but smile.
Song Que's voice softened and he said softly: "Since the fall of the Han Dynasty, confrontations between the north and the south have continued to occur in the world. The reason is due to the natural dangers of the Yangtze River. Does Master Xu know that the Li family in Guanzhong has reached an agreement with the heroes of Bashu? If
If the Li family can capture Luoyang, Bashu, led by Xie Hui, will surrender to the Li family. At that time, the south will have no danger of the Yangtze River to defend because the Li family has Bashu. As long as there are enough ships and warships, the Li family's army will move westward along the river to reach
Who can resist?"
Xu Ziyi said with a smile: "Even if the Li clan captures Luoyang, they will only stop at the foot of Xiangyang City in the end!"
"Of course I believe what Island Master Xu said, and I have no doubts about the strength of the Sun Moon God Sect. However, I still have doubts in my heart. I ask Island Master Xu to help me clear up my doubts!"
Song Que said this and his eyes fell on Xu Ziyi again.
"The Lord of the Song Dynasty just said it bluntly!" Xu Ziyi said.
"As far as I know, the Dongfang Cult Leader of the Sun Moon God Sect and Manager Yang seem to be practicing child molestation. Even after unifying the Central Plains, how will this heir be dealt with?"
Staring closely at Xu Ziyi, who was wearing a green shirt, Song Que finally asked the question he was most concerned about.,
"Master Song, what do you think of my two disciples?" In response, Xu Ziyi just smiled slightly.
"Your Majesty can be said to be a human being, but since ancient times, there has never been a precedent for a woman to be the emperor?"
Hearing this, Song Que's expression changed slightly. He glanced at Ji Qian and Shi Potian who were standing aside, and he couldn't help but say, "Help me."
"Who in this world says that women are inferior to men? If there is no precedent, just set a precedent!" Xu Ziyi smiled slightly.
"Master!"
Hearing this, Ji Qian couldn't help but be moved. As an orphan, to receive such praise from Xu Ziyi, she felt extremely excited.
"Qian'er only wants to be by Master's side!"
After a moment, Ji Qian said.
Xu Ziyi looked at Ji Qian with a smile and said, "Qian'er, you don't have to be nervous. As a teacher, I won't force any of you!"
But at this time, Shi Potian became the most obtrusive person in the Grinding Hall, and Song Que couldn't help but cast his eyes on him. After a long time, he heard Song Que say: "Can Island Master Xu make the decision for Master Dongfang in this matter?
"mix
"Master Song, since I'm here today, I can naturally take charge!" Xu Ziyi said.
The relationship between Dongfang Bubai and Yang Lianting is naturally regarded as alien in the eyes of ordinary people, but the sincerity with which they treat their relationship is far beyond that of ordinary people.
Naturally, Xu Ziyi would not replace Dongfang Bubai and Yang Lianting, but if there were no heirs to inherit the throne in the future, it would be natural for him to choose his successors.
At the same time, he could not help but secretly lament that the Song clan was well-informed. As for the agreement between Duzunbao Jiehui and the Li clan in Guanzhong, Xu Ziyi did not take it to heart.
Although Xie Hui is capable, at most he is just a conservative dog who uses the rich land of Bashu as a means of selling for a price.
In addition, Xu Ziyi had visited Duzun Castle in person earlier. With his reminder, Xie Hui would not dare to end his life too early. Xu Ziyi still had this confidence.
"But I'm curious about who the clan leader will choose. Will he send his army north, or will he choose the Sun Moon God Sect and the Li clan?"
Looking at the seemingly flawless figure in front of him, Xu Ziyi finally asked.
Song Que sighed: "If Island Master Xu doesn't come this time, I might choose Li Clan in Guanzhong. Although Li Shimin has Hu ancestry and traces his origins to Shuoliu, Song Que still regards him as a Han. If Li Clan hadn't been with him now,
The Turks have drawn a clear line, someone from Song Dynasty has already made the decision!"
"It's just that after meeting Island Master Xu today, the doubts in my mind have been cleared up, and naturally I have another choice!"
After Song Que paused for a moment, he added, but when he said this, a strange light suddenly shone in his eyes.
"But before that, Mr. Song also wants to learn the magical art of wedding attire used by Island Master Xu to let Fu Cailin return home in vain!" Song Que said slowly again as he stared at Xu Ziyi, who was wearing a green shirt in front of him.
As a master of swords, Song Que has been in Lingnan for decades. Now that he has finally met his opponent, he naturally doesn't want to miss it easily!
Before coming to Lingnan Song Dynasty, Xu Ziyi had long expected that this would happen, so he smiled and said: "In that case, I will come to learn the secret skills of the clan leader's heavenly sword, please!" Help me
