Chapter 74 It's the time of a youthful youth again!
During the Great Yan Dynasty, Sizhou.
As the most prosperous place of such a great dynasty at the foot of the Emperor, the famines and minor epidemics in other territories have not spread here.
Therefore, it is still prosperous.
At this time, a carriage was driving slowly on the official road.
This is the carriage of the Zhang family in Dangyang, Jizhou. Although it is not a prominent family, the family tradition has lasted for more than 200 years. There were ancestors who were officials and servants of Jiuqing in Dayan, and they were considered one of the nobles in the county.
Slowly walking on the bumpy road, their destination was Tai'an, the capital of the Great Yan Dynasty that had been in existence for more than 400 years.
At this time, the young man in brocade clothes who had closed his eyes on the carriage slowly opened his eyes.
【Ji Qiu/Zhang Yuan】
[Realm: Martial Arts Innate]
[Exercise: The True Sutra of Transcendence]
[Talent: Seven exquisite orifices, a hundred-forged martial body, and a clear Zen mind]
[Martial Arts/Skills/Supernatural Powers: Xuankong Martial Arts (reaching the peak), Wenxian Yijian (reaching the peak), Six Methods of Refining Qi (reaching the peak), Thunder in the Palm of Shenxiao (becoming a master), Xuanyuan Thunder Technique Fragments (becoming a master)...]
[Miscellaneous Studies: Elementary Talisman (reaching the pinnacle), elementary alchemy (proficiency)]
"After changing my destiny this time, why didn't I start from the very beginning..."
A bit of familiarity and vicissitudes of life flashed in his eyes. Ji Qiu looked at the lines on his palm and thought to himself.
Scenes of simulated events in his mind gradually emerged in Ji Qiu's mind, making his heart begin to feel a little heavy without realizing it.
This time, he did not choose to solidify Zhang Julu's life, but changed his destiny to live through this life for no other reason.
It was precisely to overthrow the 400-year rule of the Great Yan Dynasty, so that the respectable people who followed him and called him Ji Qiu a great sage and mentor would no longer be as miserable as in the previous life.
But this is easier said than done.
However, in the end, it all depends on man.
Seeing the spells and skills on the panel reaching their peak, Ji Qiu clenched his fists, his eyes calm and firm.
This is one of his bases.
You want to know your life during the simulation, but there are no plug-ins or magical powers, and there is no way to trace your origins.
Without memory, without magic, without anything to rely on, he can stir up such big waves. After all the hardships in this reincarnation, how can he still make the same mistakes again?
"A thousand miles begins with a single step."
"Now, it's just the beginning."
Ji Qiu thought silently in his heart.
Then, the curtain of the carriage was opened, and the coachman in front spoke respectfully and said:
"Master, Yanjing Tai'an has arrived."
Hearing this, Ji Qiu opened the curtain, said softly, "Hmm", and walked slowly out of the carriage.
Lift your eyes and look forward.
But I saw a towering ancient capital that was extremely glorious, even more majestic and taller than the capital of the Qian Dynasty, standing here.
This is Tai'an, the capital of the Yan Dynasty that enjoyed four hundred years of prosperity.
Recalling the scenes of dancing pavilions and singing songs in his memory, Ji Qiu smiled lightly. Although there was complexity and anger in his eyes, the ups and downs of his cultivation for several lifetimes had taken him through thousands of sailings, and his joy and anger were indescribable.
He just looked at this ancient capital, wondering how long it could maintain such a solemn appearance.
"Four hundred years of prosperity have created this extremely prosperous ancient capital, but are all the heroes from this wealthy family really worthy of this prosperity?"
After muttering, the young man, accompanied by the groom and attendants, strode towards the main entrance of Tai'an City.
All the way, smooth and smooth.
After all, Ji Qiu was born here, and the Dangyang Zhang family was a prominent noble family in the county. Even in the contemporary era, there are still nobles from the family serving as county guards and other important local positions.
After handing over the identity documents, how could the soldiers guarding the gate of Tai'an city dare to stop him?
Stepping into the main entrance, the view was vast. Looking at the clear sea and river in front of him, even the common people at the bottom seemed to be well-fed and well-fed. Ji Qiu couldn't help but sigh:
"The false scene at the feet of the Emperor, no wonder these Gonggun princes don't want to take another look outside."
"A leaf obscures the eyes, and the mirror is like a flower in the water. A knowledgeable person comes from a humble background and speaks in a low-key manner, but a high-ranking and powerful person treats the common people like ants. How can he change the world's pattern even a little bit?"
"If it weren't for the continuous natural disasters and the great epidemic, which tore these fig leaves apart one by one, the Great Yan Kingdom Zuo would probably have been able to survive for a hundred years."
Shaking his head, Ji Qiu no longer stopped to observe the various behaviors of the people.
At this time, he was at the age of sixteen in his memory. He was recommended by the head of the Zhang family and traveled thousands of miles to Tai'an to become his disciple.
And the person he worshiped was none other than one of the top scholars in the Great Yan Dynasty, Zheng Xiu.
I have to say that in Ji Qiu's memory, this teacher was indeed of high standard and talent.
He not only cultivated an awe-inspiring spirit in his chest, but also cultivated Confucianism and Taoism to an extremely advanced level, which was enough to rival the masters of Taoism. He was also one of the few people who could see through the suffering in the world.
However, seeing clearly does not mean that he can turn things around.
Zheng Xiu was born into a down-and-out noble family. He almost turned things around with his own talent and hard work, and became a world-famous scholar. He supported the once lonely Zheng family, and it is no exaggeration to say that the carp jumped over the dragon's gate.
But for him, it can only stop there.
He was born in a poor family since he was young, so he has a deep understanding of the life at the bottom. At the same time, Zheng Xiu also knows how difficult it is to change this situation.
Ever since Emperor Gaozu obtained the help of the Three Mountains and Five Sacred Cultivation Lines and established the kingdom for 400 years, Dayan was faced with constraints everywhere.
The relationship is complicated, not only because of the Taoist lineage, but also because of the martial arts and the Confucian lineage.
These three parties check and balance each other, and they have me and me, and now they have formed an extremely huge network of relationships, almost covering all the great dynasties.
If you want to change this situation, except for a complete reshuffle, is there any chance of change?
It was precisely because he saw clearly that Zheng Xiucai remained silent.
He is the same as every successful person who can see clearly, because they are unable to overturn this world.
But there is something different about him.
As a Confucian and Taoist master, Zheng Xiu had different ambitions from others.
His lifelong goal is to write a masterpiece that is enough to leave a name in history, to pioneer a cultural context for future generations, and to become a figure as famous as those saints and scholars.
In fact, he did it in the end. His study of scriptures surpassed that of all his contemporaries. At least before Zhang Julu died, his teacher had indeed made great achievements in Confucianism and Taoism.
This is his way, and there are few people throughout the ages who can walk on this path unswervingly.
And he did teach him a lot of principles. Even when he finally embarked on the road of being the enemy of the whole world, this teacher did not come forward to expel him from the door.
Maybe it's because he did something he couldn't do.
Or maybe it's because he himself feels guilty.
But no matter what, at least at the moment when Ji Qiu is only at the innate realm of martial arts, it is still necessary to practice here for a while.
(This is an imaginary background, imaginary background, imaginary background. Important things are said three times, so don’t use history or time periods to quote scriptures. Everything is based on the book. After all, it is the Great Yan Dynasty.)
