It has to be said that killing all the people with the surname Liu in Sishui County is the most straightforward method. Although there is some blood in the process, those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters.
For the three giants in the county who have manifested the true spirit of the three ancient poisonous dragons, they only need to keep the true spirit of Xun Shaoyu in the territory of Sishui County and within the territory of the twelve capitals of Xian Qin.
Cutting off Xun Shaoyu's path to [Shattering the Vacuum] in one fell swoop not only avenged Xun Shaoyu's blood revenge for killing the evil dragon Wuyu, but also a great victory between the Dragon Clan and the Taoist Sect.
"It's a pity that although the method of eradicating the grass and roots is simple, no one will let us take action." County Sheriff Yin Tong looked lonely, and like the two brothers, he generally did not have any expectations for this method.
"It is destiny for Liu and Xiang to replace Qin, and it is also destiny for Immortal Qin Zulong to be in charge of humanity. Zulong still needs to keep Liu and Xiang's people to appease those great supernatural powers who are impatient with the orthodoxy of Immortal Qin."
"If there were no people with the surnames of Liu and Xiang, there would be no guarantee that others would not change their names and inherit the destiny of the White Emperor and the Red Emperor. The introduction of time is like a dragon entering the sea, and all the eyes of great supernatural powers will also focus on it.
On the body of Immortal Qin Zulong."
The three giants in the county know what the stakes are, and there is no room for them to eradicate the situation, whether it is public or private.
Moreover, with the laws of Xian Qin, a county guard will not be allowed to kill the people under Xian Qin's rule like this. The so-called county magistrate who destroys the family and the county guard who exterminates the clan. The county guard has the ability to destroy the clan, but it does not mean that
Have the right to kill a whole family.
County Supervisor Fan Shi sighed and said softly: "Brother, maybe we are too anxious... In terms of ability, that boy may not be inferior to the innate way, and Yuanshi Tianzun is covering up the secrets and hiding everything.
I have been trying to find that guy for a long time, but I am still a little anxious."
"After all, there are still hundreds of thousands of years before the death of Zulong, and there is still a long time to come. That boy was ordered by Yuanshi to stir up trouble in Xian Qin. It may take one, two, ten, or eight years to reveal his clues.
But I don’t believe he can keep wasting it.”
The words from Fan City woke up the dreamer, making Yin Tong and Zhang Yuan suddenly realize that the key now is no longer the hatred between the ancient Poison Dragon and the two, but what is more important is Yuanshi Tianzun and Zhulong.
The game of Hunyuan Wuji.
If Xun Shaoyu wanted to successfully become an anti-Qin force, he could not hide quietly between Liu and Xiang. How could he accumulate anti-Qin power without taking the lead?
But as soon as he showed up, Xun Shaoyu became a ready target. The Yin Tong trio attracted by his momentum would never give Xun Shaoyu a second chance to hide.
"Um……"
County Governor Yin Tong nodded gloomily and said: "My third brother's words are reasonable, but I don't believe it yet. If that kid can hide for a while, can he hide for a lifetime?"
"There are still more than 100,000 years in the future. We have plenty of time to play cat and mouse with that kid. It's best that the kid doesn't get caught by me."
In an instant, cold murderous intent bloomed in the main hall of the governor's mansion. The hearts of everyone within thousands of miles suddenly sank, as if they were being stared down by a ferocious beast. The indescribable feeling of heart palpitations made people want to vomit blood.
.
…………
The murderous intention lurking in the capital city of Kuaiji cannot affect Xiaxiang County, which is millions of miles away, nor can it affect Xun Shaoyu, who appears to be unremarkable in Xiangfu in Xiaxiang County.
In Xicheng, Xiaxiang County, in the inner courtyard of the Xiang Mansion and the Xiang Family Ancestral Temple, Xiang He, the patriarch of the clan who is more than 1,200 years old, is leaning on the Taishi chair with his eyelids drooping slightly, as if he is sleeping but not sleeping.
"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!"
As Xiang He exhaled and inhaled, a stream of pure white air came out of his mouth and nose, stirring in the air and making sudden echoes. The power in it was extremely restrained, and there were faint sonic booms.
Under such a climate, no matter whether they are great masters in cultivation or not, no one with some knowledge dares to underestimate this white air. This white air bursts out one by one, with the unpredictable power of thunder.
.
During the Immortal Qin Dynasty, there were countless practitioners who crossed the river, and there were countless masters and powerful people. The average life span of people reached three hundred. There were many people who lived for one or two thousand years, and there were also many who lived for ten or twenty thousand years.
The head of the Xiang clan can live for more than 1,200 years and is already a top-notch strongman in this area of Xiangxiang County. He is worthy of being the pinnacle of the Xiang clan.
Pictures of ancestors' remains hang high in the ancestral hall, some of them are heroic generals, some are civil servants and officials, some are elegant literati, some are rough and heroic chivalrous figures, there are hundreds of images.
Each one was as thick as a child's arm, each one a foot or two inches long, like logs of sandalwood, inserted into the bronze cauldron behind the patriarch, with a few wisps of green smoke lingering around for a long time.
"granduncle,"
Xun Shaoyu, dressed in a green shirt and fine clothes, stood beside the patriarch Xiang He. He took a look at the bronze cauldron and saw that only half of the sandalwood was left. The incense ashes had accumulated in a pile. He also saw that the patriarch Xiang He had not moved for a long time.
He couldn't help but call out softly.
This stick of sandalwood only lasted half a day. Xun Shaoyu had been waiting for Xiang He since the moment the sandalwood stick was first picked up. He stood in the ancestral hall for an hour, quite like Cheng Menlixue.
"Um?"
Finally, at Xun Shaoyu's call, Xiang He responded softly, raised his eyelids slightly, glanced at Xun Shaoyu casually, and stroked his long beard with one hand.
"Hey, it's Changming,"
Xiang He seemed to have just woken up. He looked at Xun Shaoyu blankly and thought about it for a moment before suddenly pronouncing Xun Shaoyu's name in this life. Xiang Changming was Xun Shaoyu's name in this life.
"That's the boy," Xun Shaoyu treated the Xiang clan leader with great respect, not only because Xiang He was his great-uncle in this life, but also because Xiang He had indeed taken good care of him.
Not to mention other things, Xun Shaoyu's study of the Immortal Qin Dharma Scripture was considered extremely treasonous and unethical in the eyes of the ancient Chu general Xiang. If Xiang He hadn't been tolerant and replaced by a slightly stricter and iron-faced patriarch, he wouldn't have done it.
It's just the Xiang clan's lineages that are criticizing.
Even though the Xianqin legal network was overwhelming, it could not withstand the lynchings of families one by one. Xiang He really wanted to kill Xun Shaoyu. In order not to expose his hiding place, Xun Shaoyu had no choice but to arrest him and invite the Xianqin army to suppress him.
He is free to kill, beat and punish at will.
However, Xiang He turned a blind eye to Xun Shaoyu's study of the Xianqin Dharma Scripture, and did not really punish Xun Shaoyu, allowing Xun Shaoyu to read the Dharma Scripture safely for three years.
》.
No matter what the leader of the Xiang clan had planned, Xun Shaoyu had to recognize this favor. Regardless of the original intention, judging from the results, it helped Xun Shaoyu a lot.
"You kid, if you don't read your Dharma Sutra, why are you coming to this ancestral temple?"
Xiang He stood up nonchalantly, stretched out, and his body bones made a crunching sound, almost like the sound of thunder, causing a sound of wind, and inadvertently revealing a trace of his martial arts foundation.
Judging from Xun Shaoyu's eyesight, this humble-looking Xiang clan leader is at least a great master of martial arts who has reached the level of [Transcendence to Sainthood] and is only a hair's breadth away from the [Way of Heaven and Man].
"Uncle, I have been studying the "Dharma Sutra" diligently. I have read hundreds of eight thousand volumes of the laws of the Immortal and Qin Dynasties. I think I have made some achievements in the "Dharma Sutra". However, there is no end to the Dharma. I have now reached a bottleneck and have been unable to cross this road.
threshold."
Xun Shaoyu bowed his hands and said, "I know that my uncle is very knowledgeable. What he has seen and understood is a hundred times a thousand times better than this kid. I hope that my uncle will not hesitate to teach me and show me a clear path so that I can further my studies."
Xian Qin's "Dharma Sutra" is so extensive and profound that it is not only filled in by powerful legalists of all ages, but also deduced by an ancestral dragon named "Hunyuan Wuji".
What may seem like legal provisions are in fact, in the eyes of Legalists, they are pieces of excellent teachings, from which people with extraordinary talent can understand the truth and understand the fundamental beauty of Legalism.
It is because of the wonder of Xun Shaoyu's "Hunyuan Dao Fruit" and the supreme wisdom of understanding the "Dharma Sutra" that he has been in a trance day and night for three years, still knowing it but not knowing why.
Being able to comprehend one or two true meanings of Xian Qin's "Dharma Sutra" was only possible because Xun Shaoyu's own Taoism was profound and unpredictable, and he was condescending with the "Hunyuan Dao Fruit", so he could comprehend so many true meanings.
Xiang He slowly walked to the memorial tablets of the Xiang family's ancestors. After pondering for a moment, he shook his head and said with a smile, "You boy, you are very decisive in dealing with things. You are a person who can get things done."
"You dare to sneak into the legal family and give up your ancestral military inheritance. With this courage, I don't know whether you are ignorant and fearless, or you are born stupid and bold?"
"However, your boy can stand in the ancestral hall and wait for me for an hour. With this patience, you can be said to have a strategy in mind."
"I'm ashamed, I don't dare to praise my great-uncle," Xun Shaoyu replied humbly from the side, his face was very plain, and he did not comment on Xiang He's praise.
Xiang He said slowly: "The Book of Dharma is the foundation for the governance of Xian Qin. If you can read the Book of Dharma of Xian Qin well, it will be of great benefit to you in the future. At least your future in Xian Qin will be guaranteed."
"It's just that I studied military strategism and don't know much about Legalism. The suggestions I can give you are limited. I'll just say it, so you can just listen to it!"
Xun Shaoyu saluted again and said: "I hope that my uncle will not hesitate to teach me. I will listen attentively in the morning. I will remember what my uncle said in my heart. I will not dare to miss a word and follow my uncle's words."
Xiang He nodded with satisfaction and said: "Okay, okay, since you sincerely ask for advice, I can't keep it secret. If I can really tell you, can I still tell you?"
They are all of the blood of the Xiang family. With the family blood as the link, Xiang He also hopes that his family can have a few more people to carry the cauldron and contribute to the growth of the Xiang family. The older generation of the Xiang family will continue to shine, and the younger generations will
If there is no one to take over the job, a huge family fortune will fail.
You must know that Xiang He is known as the "Silver Fox of the Lower Prime Minister". He is a scheming and sophisticated man. He is proficient in military strategy, one of the four ways of military strategism, and his vision of people is extremely accurate and sophisticated.
Xun Shaoyu's study in Legalism allowed Xiang He to see another way out for the Xiang family, a path that was completely different from the Xiang family's military strategy. This was the reason why Xiang He looked at Xun Shaoyu in a different light.
Xiang He put his palms together and smiled and said: "As the saying goes, it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. You have indeed read through the Xianqin Dharma Scripture in the past few years, but in the end you have lacked some real practice."
"Although the Legalist approach emphasizes that there is no square or circle without rules, a square is a square and a circle is a circle, but if you haven't experienced it personally, how can you talk about the rules of the square and the circle and understand the essence of Legalism?"
Xiang He's tone was slightly heavy and he said: "Legalism is, after all, the teachings of the Immortals and Qin Dynasties. It is not easy to master it. This requires your daily accumulation and combining it with the 18,000 volumes of the Dharma Sutra that you have read in the past. You will naturally be able to
The study of law shines brightly."
"Then, what does your uncle mean?" Xun Shaoyu nodded thoughtfully when he heard this. A thought stirred in his heart, and he had some idea of Xiang He's advice, so he couldn't help but ask.
"If you want to make a breakthrough in Legalism, you will not succeed by studying hard. I will give you two options. These two options are two different paths, which may be suitable for you now."
Xiang He did not wait for Xun Shaoyu to ask, but he thought to himself: "The way of Legalism is the way to help the world. It is said that there is no circle without rules, and 'law' means rules and circles. Therefore, the law is for the people, and the law is for the country."
.”
"When the law is used for the people, it is natural to abandon the prosperity of external things, study the legalist way, and improve the "Dharma Sutra" of Xian Qin in depth, in order to realize its own 'legends'; and when the law is used for the country, it is to become
The officials of Xian Qin must first practice the laws of Xian Qin, and only then can they know the advantages and disadvantages of Xian Qin's laws."
"The two paths are different. It depends on whether you want to master the power of Xian Qin in order to understand the magical functions of public weapons, or whether you can endure loneliness and write books and make your name passed down through the ages."
These are the two ways out that Xiang He pointed out to Xun Shaoyu. One is to write books and establish theories, strive to become a great sage in the county, and raise a reputation in the county. The other is to become a minor official of Xian Qin and work in the system of Xian Qin.
After a long struggle, at least it will be smooth until the county level.
With the power of the Xiang family, it is simply a piece of cake to arrange people to join the ranks of officials at the pavilion and township levels. Even the starting point cannot be too low, at least it is a middle or upper level.
In response to this, Xun Shaoyu was silent for a moment and replied leisurely: "I have grown up young and have great energy. I don't want to stay in the mountains and live up to what I have learned. I am willing to be a small official of Xian Qin and borrow the tools of Xian Qin.
Understand the Dharma of Immortal Qin."
"Well, if you have this ambition, it will not only be of great benefit to you, but you can also make some contributions to the Xiang family. It can also be regarded as adding some prestige to the official reputation of our Xiang family." Xiang He was not surprised by Xun Shaoyu.
It would be really strange for a young man to choose to live in seclusion in the mountains and study hard.
"Although my Xiang family is not a high-ranking family, the Xiang family has settled in Xiangxiang County for more than dozens of generations and has accumulated many years of personal connections. It may not be able to help with real big things, but a little help can still help.
Up."
"If you want to get an official position in the Sixth House of Xiaxiang County, it may not be easy. However, it is easy for my Xiang family to get a job as a steward in a certain pavilion or township."
