A hundred flavors of life

Chapter 901: Meeting the Sword Master! (Please order the whole thing!)

PS: Thank you brothers for your monthly tickets. I have reached the target this month. Thank you in the summer.

Long Longjiu is a character in the movie "Battle of the Forbidden City". He is a secret agent working for the royal family. His prototype is the famous Lu Xiaofeng with four eyebrows. Hua Shier happened to have watched this movie when he was watching TV series before. Ye Gucheng in the movie was played by Hua Ge, who is known as the most handsome Ye Gucheng.

Taking the jade seal from his subordinate, Hua Shier waved his hand to let him leave, then closed his eyes and began to receive Ye Gucheng's memories transmitted by the system.

The dynasty background of Ye Gucheng is the Ming Dynasty, but it is slightly different from the Ming Dynasty in real world history.

The founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty here was also Zhu Yuanzhang. After that, the Jingnan Campaign took place, and Chengzu Zhu Di seized the world from his nephew Zhu Yunwen. However, history changed after Chengzu.

According to the history of the Ming Dynasty in the real world, after Chengzu, his eldest son Zhu Gaochi should have succeeded to the throne. However, in this world, Zhu Gaochi died of illness very early, so he did not even leave any descendants, so there was no Ming Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji.

After the death of the eldest son Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Gaoxu, the Prince of Han, and Zhu Gaosui, the Prince of Zhao, began to fight for the throne. They fought openly and secretly, and they were like pigs fighting dog heads. They also hindered each other in the government affairs of the court, and even affected the livelihood of the people.

In the spring of the 14th year of Yongle, famine broke out in the capital, Henan and Shandong. In order to provide disaster relief, Zhu Di allocated 1.37 million dan of millet and ordered the King of Han and the King of Zhao to go to Henan and Shandong respectively to distribute grain for disaster relief.

As a result, in order to destroy each other's achievements, the King of Han and the King of Zhao sent people to set fire to each other's grain, resulting in the court having no food for disaster relief, causing starvation in both places and the people suffering.

In a rage, Zhu Di stripped the titles of Zhu Gaoxu, the Prince of Han, and Zhu Gaosui, the Prince of Zhao, and imprisoned them forever. He appointed his fourth son Zhu Gaoyu as the crown prince, who eventually inherited the throne and became the Ming Renzong of this world.

In reality, there was a person named Zhu Gaoyu, who was the fourth son of Zhu Di. His biological mother was unknown, and he died at a very young age. Unexpectedly, in this world, the fate of this fourth son, who should have died long ago, was swapped with that of Zhu Gaochi.

Zhu Gaoyu had changed, and naturally the emperors after him were no longer the same as in history.

The current emperor is Zhu Youxi, the fifteenth emperor of the Ming Dynasty who has just ascended the throne.

Hua Shier compared the era in Ye Gucheng's memory with the same period in the real world and found that the same period should be the time when Emperor Tianqi Zhu Youxiao had just ascended the throne. However, Zhu Youxiao no longer existed in this world, and was replaced by Zhu Youxi.

Although Zhu Youxi was not a carpenter emperor like Zhu Youxiao, he was also weak and mediocre. After he ascended the throne, he did not show any knowledge or talent.

If the Ming Dynasty was still the Ming Dynasty during the Chengzu period, Zhu Youxi could still cope with it as a status quo emperor, but the Ming Dynasty today is facing the same internal and external troubles as in the same period in history in the real world.

Strangely enough, it seems that only the history of the Central Plains has shifted, while the ethnic minorities outside the Ming Dynasty still develop as in the official history.

Precisely because Zhu Youxi was young and mediocre, many people had inappropriate thoughts about him, including Ye Gucheng, the Lord of Baiyun City.

Hua Shier, who received Ye Gucheng's memories, knew that this sword master in the martial arts world was not a person who was greedy for power. There were two main reasons why he coveted the throne.

The first is his background. Ye Gucheng's mother was the concubine of King Pingnan and she could not have a legitimate status until her death.

Secondly, looking at the general situation in the world, Ye Gucheng had long realized that the Ming Dynasty was facing internal and external troubles and was almost on the verge of a terminal illness.

Based on the above two points, Ye Gucheng planned to enter the venue in person, firstly to save face for his mother, and secondly he also wanted to show his ambition to bring peace to the world and long-term stability.

Hua Shier also discovered an interesting thing in Ye Gucheng's memory, that is, this world is not exactly the world of "The Final Battle at the Forbidden City", and it seems that there are also characters from other film and television dramas with similar world backgrounds merged in.

For example, the head of the East Factory was called Cao Zhengchun.

There is also the "Hulong Villa" whose power overrides all court institutions. The owner of the villa is the Iron-Hearted Divine Marquis Zhu Wusi, who is also a member of the royal family and of the same generation as Ye Gucheng.

After seeing this memory, Hua Twelve smiled slightly; "Number one in the world? This is getting more and more interesting!"

In Ye Gucheng's memory, the most important thing is of course his martial arts knowledge and experience in learning martial arts.

He showed a strong talent for martial arts at a young age, because his mother was a chivalrous woman who taught him martial arts since he was young. No matter what kind of martial arts he learned, he would learn it quickly and become proficient in it soon. After mastering it, he would continue to strive for excellence, and would often draw inferences from one example and bring forth new ideas.

In addition, Ye Gucheng particularly likes swordsmanship. His talent in swordsmanship is unparalleled. At the age of thirteen, he challenged seventy-two mountain strongholds south of the Yangtze River with a sword. At the age of eighteen, he traveled around the world and challenged major martial arts sects without being defeated.

When he was twenty years old, he discovered Feixian Island in the south of the End of the Earth, established Baiyun City, and called himself the Lord of Baiyun City.

It is rumored that Ye Gucheng once met the Eight Immortals of the Upper Cave on Feixian Island, and then he comprehended the spirit of the Eight Immortals and created a sword technique that shocked the world and made ghosts cry.

This sword technique is as flawless as the blue sky and white clouds. It strikes from a high position with brilliant and swift momentum. It has a sword energy that chills even the bone marrow, and the edge of the sword is so terrifying that it is impossible to resist!

When it was performed, a sword light flew obliquely, like a flash of lightning, or a rainbow across the sky.

This arbitrary change of swordsmanship is the highest realm in swordsmanship, and can be regarded as unparalleled swordsmanship in the world. It has reached the realm of 'unity of man and sword', 'unity of man and nature', and is perfect.

  This is the trick.

Flying fairy from heaven!

Hua Shier discovered something more interesting in this memory.

The rumor that Ye Gucheng had seen the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea was not false, he actually saw it.

However, what Ye Gucheng saw was not the Eight Immortals themselves, but a mirage of the Eight Immortals crossing the sea.

It was precisely because he had seen the immortal demeanor of the Eight Immortals of the Upper Cave in the mirage that Ye Gucheng, with his uncanny talent, comprehended the sword technique of "Flying Fairy from the Sky" from the charm of the Eight Immortals.

In fact, "Flying Fairy from the Sky" is not just a simple sword technique, it also includes internal strength and lightness skills, which can be said to be the culmination of Ye Gucheng's martial arts.

The internal power is called "Supreme Sword Qi" and the light power is called "Flying Fairy Steps". Although these two are included in the sword moves, they are both the most advanced unique skills in the world.

After reading Ye Gucheng's memory, Hua Shier was already very sure that there really were immortals in this world. Otherwise, no matter how talented Ye Gucheng was, he would not be able to comprehend the supreme sword moves just by seeing a mirage.

It must be that the mirage image really contains the charm of immortals, which allowed him to achieve this breakthrough.

Hua Shier couldn't help but sigh that what Ye Gucheng experienced was truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

At this time, Hua Twelve had Ye Gucheng's memory but did not have his supreme sword energy. He immediately closed his eyes and concentrated, looking inward at his body, and used the properties of the small Wuxiang Gong in the 'Xiantian Shengang' to begin to simulate the method of practicing the supreme sword energy.

The next moment, the divine energy in the body began to boil, and then transformed into supreme sword energy that surged like a tide.

At this moment, Hua Twelve's entire temperament changed. He stood there, like a sword, a sharp, unparalleled, invincible divine sword.

"What a domineering technique!"

Hua Twelve was surprised to find that Ye Gucheng's supreme sword energy was not inferior to his own innate divine power. It can be seen that the internal strength he realized is also a transcendental skill.

It’s a pity that, like his innate divine power, he has not yet found the way forward.

After receiving Ye Gucheng's memories, Hua Twelve sighed:

"It's no wonder that someone as aloof as Ye Gucheng also wanted to become an emperor. His martial arts has reached its limit, and it is extremely difficult for him to make further breakthroughs." Looking at the jade seal in his hand, Hua Twelve walked out of the Tianyahai Pavilion with his head held high, leaning on the railing and looking into the distance. Looking at the rolling sea of ​​clouds outside Baiyun City, he felt extremely proud for a moment:

"Just because Ye Gucheng can't do it doesn't mean I can't do it either. When I conquer the world, I will break through the shackles and see the scenery above immortality!"

The next day, a ship with a lonely city in white clouds painted on its sails left Feixian Island and headed north to Ningbo Prefecture in the Central Plains.

After six or seven days of sailing, we had passed Xiaoliuqiu, and after another two days we entered the East China Sea, with the Central Plains in sight.

On this day, Hua Twelve was meditating on Ye Gucheng's supreme sword energy in the cabin when a maid came to report that the ship had arrived at the mouth of Yongjiang River in Ningbo. However, a Fusang ship raised a flag and asked the ship from Baiyun City to get out of the way and let them go first.

Hua Twelve opened his eyes and sneered, "Bump into him!"

The maid outside answered yes without any hesitation and went out to convey her master's order.

The next moment, Hua and the other twelve people in the cabin could feel that the ship began to turn. Shaoqing shouted loudly, and a collision was heard. Then the hull shook violently, but then it returned to calm.

But then, Hua Twelve heard the sound of breaking air coming from outside. Obviously, someone had boarded the ship using light skills. Judging from the number of people breaking air, there were at least dozens of them.

Someone else shouted in Japanese: "Kill all these Central Plains people and seize the ship!"

Hua Twelve smiled faintly and treated it all as a joke. The people in his Baiyun City all had good martial arts skills, especially his four maids who were good at playing the piano, chess, books and swords. Their martial arts skills were not inferior to those of the leaders of the martial arts world. These Japanese people were really rampant.

He immediately said calmly: "Kill them all!"

Although Hua Twelve's voice was not loud, everyone on the entire ship could hear it, and everyone in Baiyun City responded at the same time.

Then there were heard the sounds of weapons colliding outside, and the screams of the Japanese before they died.

Seeing that the Fuso people were already defeated, a cold female voice suddenly shouted in Japanese: "Their leader is on the third floor of the ship. To capture the thief, first capture the leader. Cover me while I go up and capture the leader."

After shouting this, five or six Fusang masters jumped up at the same time. A maid from Baiyun City shouted, "Don't let them disturb the master."

The four maids, Qin, Qi, Shu and Jian, attacked at the same time, using the Flying Fairy Steps taught by Ye Gucheng. They were the last to arrive but the first to arrive, and they killed the Fuso man who had just jumped up in the air completely.

Just as the four maids were falling, a dazzling sword light shot up diagonally upwards and shot into the sky, directly breaking through Hua Twelve's window. A slender, heroic Fuso girl rushed in.

After the girl came in, she slashed at Hua Twelve, who was sitting with his eyes closed, without saying a word.

Hua Twelve didn't even raise his eyelids. He listened to the wind and flicked his fingers. With a clang, he had already swept the woman's long sword away.

"Eh~!"

Hua Twelve opened his eyes in surprise. He had used some strength in that casual flick just now, but the opponent's long sword did not slip out of his hand, which surprised him.

When he opened his eyes, he saw a very familiar-looking Japanese girl, looking at him with horror. The girl held the hilt of the knife tightly with both hands, but her knuckles were broken, her arms were shaking constantly, and blood was flowing from the wounds on her knuckles onto the blade.

Seeing Hua Twelve coming, the girl quickly pulled away and jumped out of the door again.

Hua Shier flicked his sleeves, and with the power of his sleeves, he floated up and flew out of the window, like a feather, floating lightly from the third floor of the ship to the deck.

At this time, only less than ten people were left of the dozens of Fuso people who had just boarded the ship, but the remaining people all had superb swordsmanship. Among them was an old man whose swordsmanship was fierce and cruel. He fought against four people alone and suppressed the four maids of Qin, Chess, Shu and Jian with his own strength.

This is also the reason why Hua Twelve’s four maids did not rescue in time.

When the old man saw his daughter come in and out again with her sword stained with blood, he was immediately delighted, thinking that he had eliminated the enemy leader. The next step was to kill the four maids and then he could seize the ship.

But the next moment he saw his daughter's mouth cracked, and the blood turned out to be his daughter's blood. In other words, the leader on this ship was a person with extremely terrifying martial arts skills.

The old man thought so much in just a moment, and the next moment, he saw Hua Twelve floating out.

The old man looked at Hua Twelve's Qinggong and his eyes narrowed immediately. He quickly shouted in the Central Plains dialect:

"Stop it, this is a misunderstanding!"

After he shouted, he immediately jumped out of the battle circle. The surviving Fuso people immediately moved towards him. Although they no longer attacked, they were still alert and cautious.

Hua Twelve landed on the deck, and everyone in Baiyun City knelt on one knee:

"See Master!"

Hua Twelve waved his hand: "Get up!"

After the four maids, Qin, Qi, Shu and Jian, stood up, they moved closer to Hua Twelve and automatically guarded him.

  The old man from Fusang said to Hua Twelve:

"Sir, we are the Fuso envoys. We came to the Central Plains to pay tribute to the Ming Emperor on behalf of the Tokugawa family. Who are you? Why did you ram our ship?"

Hua Shier looked at the old man, then at the very familiar Japanese girl, and had already confirmed the girl's identity in his heart.

He smiled faintly: "Two ships collided, why is our ship fine, but your ship was destroyed? Is there a possibility that your ship is of poor quality and cannot withstand a single blow? So I think this matter is your responsibility. It has nothing to do with us!"

The old man was so angry that his true energy almost went astray. He gritted his teeth and asked, "Destroying the tribute ship of a foreign country and killing the foreign envoys is considered treason under the Ming Dynasty law. Who are you?"

Hua Twelve glanced at the sea and saw a lot of wood floating in the distance, which was obviously the wreckage of the Fuso ship. He couldn't help but curl his lips and said:

"What a fragile official ship!"

"You~"

The old man widened his eyes, thinking about whether to get angry, when he heard Hua Twelve smile and say:

"As for who I am? Look over there. Do you recognize that sail?"

As he spoke, he pointed towards the sail of his own boat.

When the old man looked, he saw white clouds painted on the sail. Under the setting sun, there seemed to be a lonely city hidden in the white clouds.

The old man looked puzzled at first, then his whole body trembled, and suddenly he knelt on the ground:

"Fuso Yagyu Tajima-no-Kami, I greet His Excellency the Sword Saint."
