Chapter 57 Carrying the coffin and guarding the door, fishing for dragons at the end of the world
In Qingxin Xiaozhuli, Chong Xuansheng continued to tell the history of Diaohai Tower.
“Most of the existing sects in the offshore archipelago were newly built after the battle when the world went to sea. Almost all the sects on the sea before that were overturned by the attack of the Hai Clan. Only one sect is an exception..."
Zhong Xuansheng thought for a while and then said: "No, to be precise, it should be two."
“Which two?” Jiang Wang asked.
“One is Yanggu and the other is Diaohailou.”
“Yanggu?”
Jiang Wang already knows Diaohailou, and the name Yanggu is really unavoidable for people to associate with it.
The place where the sun rises in mythology is "Yanggu".
The huge overlord who once unified the Eastern Region also took "Yang" as his country name.
The northwest ends at the Endless Quicksand, the southwest stops in front of the Jianfeng Mountain of the Xia State, and moves westward into the Central Region to compete with the Jing State for supremacy. At that time, the Yang State was like the sun in the sky, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the country of the rising sun.
Strictly speaking, the present offshore islands were once the territory of Yang State.
“The reason why I have changed my description of this sect is because, as a sect, it was indeed established after the battle when monks from all over the world went to the sea. But the history of its garrison in the sea goes far beyond these years.”
Chongxuansheng said seriously: "Its predecessor was an army that guarded the sea of Yang State. The history of garrisoning the sea is almost as long as the history of Yang State. But when Yang State was on the verge of destruction, the last Yang Jun mobilized troops on a large scale
, when the final madness was staged, this army was the only one that refused to return to the capital."
“Because they believe that compared to the glory of the Yang Kingdom, they have something more worthy of protecting, and that is the tranquility of the human race’s maritime borders!”
“It is precisely because of this army, the Diaohai Tower, and the early persistence of the original sects on the offshore islands that we were able to wait until the later monks from all over the world went to the sea and drove the Hai clan back to the Lost World.”
"But after the battle was over and peace was restored to the sea, the commander of that army committed suicide with his sword. Because the country of Yang was dead and the royal bloodline was cut off, as a general of the country of Yang, he felt that he had betrayed the country's favor.
After his death, the remaining people inherited his legacy and continued to guard the sea. They were all Yang people, but the country of Yang was destroyed, so they named their clan "Yang Valley", which means they will always be in the land of the rising sun.
, carry the coffin and guard the door! To show that we don’t forget our homeland.”
Jiang Wang sighed: "It's both sad and sad!"
"As for Diaohailou..." Zhongxuansheng said: "Their history is even longer. It is said that during the catastrophe that swept through modern times, the Hai clan made a comeback. The founder of Diaohailou sat at Tianyatai and firmly guarded the sea territory.
, one pole, fishing for dragons from the end of the world! Therefore, the world recognizes Diaohailou’s rights in the offshore islands. Even when the Yang Kingdom later dominated the eastern region and looked at the world, Diaohailou was never expelled. "
One person, one pole, fishing for dragons from the end of the world!
How majestic and courageous this is!
“It makes people yearn for it. I wish I could see it in person!” Jiang Wang sighed.
“Of course, this is just the legend of Diaohailou. There is no historical data to support it, and the authenticity cannot be determined. However, Diaohailou has indeed made an indelible contribution in resisting the Hai clan for thousands of years.”
Zhong Xuansheng patted his head lightly, and seemed to have a headache: "In short, Diaohailou has a glorious history, great contributions, strong strength, and the influence that is second to none in the offshore islands. If you want to shake them, they have already made up their minds.
The possibility of carrying out sea festival activities is almost non-existent.”
"My uncle does operate on the offshore islands, but firstly we are not close, and secondly my Chongxuan family's influence on the sea is really not enough. Even Chongjia Island was just acquired from the Tian family, and there are only ten
Years of development rights. Even if I put all my chips on the table, I can’t get on the same gambling table as Diaohailou Station on the offshore islands.”
Zhongxuansheng’s uncle, Chongxuanminghe, is the fourth son of the old Marquis Zhongxuan Yunbo. He has been developing overseas all year round and rarely returns to Linzi.
A large part of the responsibility for the death of his third brother Chongxuan Mingshan in the battle lies with his second brother Chongxuan Mingtu. Therefore, he inevitably has complicated feelings towards Chongxuan Mingtu’s son Chongxuansheng. But he has not had any problems in so many years.
Diao Shaan was very close to Zhong Xuan Sheng, but he never got close to him.
The last time the two of them contacted was because of Jiang Wang's matter. When Zhong Xuansheng was collecting information about Haizong Ming, he specifically asked him to do so. He did not refuse at that time.
But this time is different. With Haizongming and being away from the offshore islands, Chongxuanminghe may not care and just do it casually. When it comes to the entire Diaohai Tower, he has no intention but no ability, or he may not have the intention.
With Chong Xuan Sheng’s family background and his wisdom, they all said that this matter was almost impossible.
This shows that it is indeed very difficult to save Zhu Biqiong.
Jiang Wang believed in Chong Xuan Sheng’s wisdom more than anyone else and was certain of his judgment.
But he held the sword with both hands, the sword across his knees, and only said: "Zhu Biqiong was punished for me. Without her news, I could not have killed Haizongming at that time."
His voice was calm, and seemed more determined because of his calmness: "Even if it's not possible, I still have to do my best."
Zhongxuansheng was silent for a long time, and then said: "It is definitely useless to shake a tree with an earthworm. If you want to shake a big tree, you have to use the strong wind."
He was reluctant to say this. He didn't want Jiang Wang to do too many things for Zhu Biqiong, but he didn't want to watch Jiang Wang take risks in vain.
After all, it was this kind of Jiang Wang, who kept his word and valued love and justice, that gained his trust in the first place. And he has been with him until now.
So he finally gave his advice: "Yanggu worked too hard in the Mysterious Realm, and his power has always been difficult to develop. The other sects lack the foundation and have even less prestige. Today, on the offshore islands, I am actually the only one in Daqi.
The voice of Daqi can be compared with that of Diaohailou. But the voice of Daqi is not yours or mine. Neither you nor I can represent Daqi."
So who can better represent Daqi?
With Jiang Wang's current level, he is not yet qualified to meet the Emperor at any time. They don't even have to think about the emperor who best represents Da Qi. The same is true for other marshals and ministers of Da Qi.
Those he could come into contact with were the princes and daughters of the royal family named Jiang.
A hopeless prince like Jiang Wuyong would definitely not be able to do it.
Those who are qualified to speak out on behalf of Daqi to a certain extent are the "Palace Lords".
However, for the Chongxuan family, moving closer to a prince who wants the dragon chair is a very dangerous loss of points. The Chongxuan family's own strength does not require the support of the dragon at all.
So Jiang Wang can only come forward and ask for help in his own name. Chongxuan Sheng and the Chongxuan family behind him will not play any role in this.
Then this is the time to witness his personal value.
In other words, it is to witness his value in the hearts of the people of Qi. That value may not be completely equal to Jiang Wang himself, but it is undoubtedly more recognized and more convincing.
