Lord of the Earth

Chapter 482 The dragon in poetry, Xin Qiji!

"Jiaxuan, now that this 'passage' has been opened, have you considered going forward with me to this 'Qianxia Dynasty'... or do you still want to go to Song Ting?"

Wang Yangming looked at the man in blue called "Jiaxuan" with some anticipation in his eyes.

"Song Ting?"

After hearing this, the man in blue had a complicated expression on his face. He was silent for a while before speaking.

"Heh... Although my grandfather devoted himself to serving the Jin, he always warned me in private that even if I was in the land of the Jin people, I must never forget my Chinese blood and my identity as a Song person. He often took me to high places to look far into the distance, pointed out the mountains and rivers, and told me that the mountains and rivers of the past were now sunk by the enemy's war horses, but there would be a day of recovery..."

"So, I have been learning literature and martial arts since I was young, hoping to shoulder the moral responsibility and mend the cracks in the sky with my iron shoulders!"

"When I was twenty, I gave up my pen and took up arms, gathered righteous men to fight against the Jin, gathered 2,000 men, and led them back north... I brandished my sword like a rainbow, and rode on horseback in my dreams, vowing to recover the lost land and return my beautiful country to me."

"When I returned to Song, I was full of hope that I could realize my ambitions, but I did not expect that the court was in favor of peace, and everyone from ministers to the king was content to stay in a corner and not make progress. I wrote several letters to the emperor, emphasizing the benefits of the Northern Expedition and the importance of restoring the Central Plains, but they fell on deaf ears and never received any response."

"What's worse is that people judge others with their own meanness, and slanderous words are everywhere, which has caused me to be demoted many times and my ambitions cannot be fulfilled. Although I believe that I can maintain peace in the country with military force and govern the country with literature. However, although I have lofty ambitions in my heart, I can only express them in the articles on paper... Even if I leave my name in this way, the depression in my heart has not been relieved at all..."

The burly man in blue clothes, who was called "Jiaxuan", was in his thirties. He had a bright light in his eyes and was "critical" in his words!
"The Song court may have lost its backbone since it moved south. Because those officials are afraid of losing their comfortable lives, how can they be willing to pay attention to the countless people in the occupied areas who are looking forward to the royal army's northern expedition day and night!"

"Even if you have the ambition to mend the sky, what can you do in a court like this?"

The voice of the young and sturdy man became more and more intense, even revealing a bit of grief and anger!

"I look at my sword under the lamp while drunk, and dream of the horn blowing in the camp, and the soldiers being inspected in the autumn on the battlefield... I look at the Wu hook, and pat the railings, but no one understands my intention to climb the mountain... So I exchange the ten thousand words of the strategy for pacifying the enemy for the landlord's book on planting trees... Haha!"

Then, he suddenly grabbed a bamboo wine jar placed next to him and poured the wine into his mouth!

The aroma of wine filled the air, and the spiritual power emanating from his mouth turned into steam. Along with his words, various corresponding scenes suddenly emerged in the clouds and mist, revealing the general's indignation at having no way to serve his country, and even his helplessness in fighting on the battlefield!

This is a scene that occurs when a person's mental and spiritual power is extremely strong. When he relaxes his mind, he allows the surrounding spiritual power to move as he wishes and evolve naturally!
The level it represents is already above the five extraordinary realms!
In other words, this "Jiaxuan", like Wang Yangming, is a human saint who has reached the sixth level of transcendence or even higher.

"The Southern Song court was indeed weak, and the emperor and his ministers were even more afraid of leaving behind the infamy of losing the country. They were unwilling to fight, and even deliberately suppressed those who advocated war. As a result, even Yue Wumu was tragically murdered by Qin Hui! Outside Fengbo Pavilion, the truth is clear as day, this is truly an injustice that will be remembered for thousands of years!"

Wang Yangming put down the black chess piece in his hand with a sigh.

Yue Fei, the man in blue before him, and himself, the three of them, in a sense, are all rare "civil and military" people in history!
Although their backgrounds were different, they all experienced being suppressed by those parasites in the country. Even Wang Yangming, whose father was a high-ranking official in the court, offended the eunuch Liu Jin because of a letter he wrote to the emperor. After being beaten with forty sticks, he was exiled to Guizhou to serve as the postmaster of Longchang Posthouse.

On the way, he was chased by people sent by Liu Jin, and he was forced to pretend to commit suicide by jumping into the water to escape the disaster!
Because of this, he and the man in blue clothes appreciated each other even more and became close friends.

"However, if Jiaxuan goes to the Qianxia Dynasty with me, there is no need to worry about this."

"The Qianxia Dynasty was founded on wars, and has never been afraid of fighting against many foreign races. Now that the dynasty has just been established, it is time to recruit people... With Jiaxuan's literary talent and military strategy, once he joins, he will definitely be of great importance..."

"When I meet the many 'old friends' of Song Ting in the future, I can wash away my past frustrations!"

Wang Yangming put down the bamboo leaf in his hand, his eyes filled with anticipation.

"Sir! Someone is coming outside... Riding a royal chariot pulled by six extraordinary war horses, wearing a dragon robe, it is a human king..."

At this time, a young man in his teens, dressed in white, holding a sword and a pen in his hands, hurried in with a somewhat excited expression on his face!

"Your Majesty actually came in person! Jiaxuan, this shows the sincerity of the Qianxia Dynasty! If Jiaxuan is interested, why don't you go with me to see His Majesty?"

Wang Yangming stood up and said to the man in blue with a smile.

After thinking for a while, the latter put down the chess piece in his hand.

As Wang Yangming and he took a step forward, their figures appeared and disappeared on the spot!

"Longchang? Sir, this seems to be the Taoist temple of Master Yangming. Hiss, so, Master Yangming has become a saint?"

Outside the secret realm, in the sky, the "Sword Throne" emitting a murderous aura, pulled by the Six Horses of Zhaoling with the power of wind, fire and thunder, stopped on the cloud chariot.

Ah Zhu, dressed in red, looked at the boundless bamboo sea below and the towering archway with curiosity and surprise on her face!
"It should be so. With Mr. Yangming's strength, it's not surprising!"

Xia Tian wore a bright yellow twelve-sulfur emperor's crown and an "emperor's robe" with five dragons entwined around him. He was served by two maids, Azhu and Qingwen, as well as Li Ru and Tang Bohu!
Further outside, there are two hundred "Imperial Guards" riding on Pegasus. Each of them is wearing a white robe and silver armor, exuding an extraordinary aura!
Such a scene can be said to be of great importance.

It’s just because, as a saint of the human race, Wang Yangming has a high status and is not much inferior to the emperors of ordinary dynasties!

His status in Chinese history books is also very important, and he kept his original promise and came to the Qianxia Dynasty.

As the monarch, Xia Tian should naturally show enough courtesy.

Of course, such a big fanfare is also to show the prosperity of the human dynasty in front of the surrounding alien races, such as the Golden Eagle Messenger and other alien high-ranking officials! !

While waiting, Xia Tian's gaze first fell on the memorial archway with the words "Longchang" inscribed on it. The light emitted by the latter was a touch of mysterious yellow in the jade white!
【Longchang Post Station (Second Xuanhuang)】

[Type] Strange object building

[Features] Dragon Field (This building belongs to a saint's dojo. The saint's cultivation in this area is improved by one level compared to the original level), Enlightenment (In it, practitioners can perceive the "rules of heaven and earth" at a higher level than themselves, and improve the upper limit they can reach), Post Station (different "sub-post stations" can be built, and the effect of the post station will not be weakened)
[Explanation] It was originally just an ordinary post station, but because a powerful human being "attained enlightenment and became a saint" in it, it condensed the will of heaven and earth and became a miraculous building!
[Note] Longchang can collect the insights of those who have "realized the Tao" in it, so that one can achieve further growth, with a great chance of being promoted to the Xuanhuang level or even above.

"A quasi-Xuanhuang building... Is this the new evaluation standard?" Xia Tian's heart moved.

If I remember correctly, there was no such term as "Sub-Xuanhuang" before. This should be the same level as "quasi-transcendent" and "quasi-saint", representing a jade-white wonder that possesses the potential of Xuanhuang!

"Yangming is flattered that your Excellency came here in person..."

At this time, two figures appeared at the edge. With their appearance, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth seemed to become thicker all of a sudden, filled with rosy glow, and even the starlight in the sky seemed to deliberately cover the two of them!
Wang Yangming, dressed in white, first performed the etiquette of paying homage to the monarch of the Ming Dynasty towards Xia Tian who was sitting on the throne of swords!
"Mr. Yangming, it has been more than half a year since we last met in the city of outstanding people. When I meet you today, you are even more charming than before... I would also like to thank you Mr. Yangming for teaching me the way of 'Xinxue'. I have gained a lot from it..."

Xia Tian raised his hand and Xukong pretended to help him up.

The two had a long conversation in the "City of Outstanding People" and Wang Yangming taught them the philosophy of mind, which benefited them a lot.

Otherwise, he would never be able to cultivate so quickly and step into the "Five Transcendent Realms", or even touch the threshold of the "Saint" in the Sixth Realm!
"Well, who is this one?"

After reminiscing about the past with his two good friends, Wang Yangming and Tang Bohu, Xia Tian's gaze fell on the man in green who looked very strong!
"I am negligent. I haven't introduced him to you yet. This is Master Jiaxuan, a hero from Jinan, Song Dynasty!"

Wang Yangming had a smile on his face.

"What, Mr. Jiaxuan? You are actually the 'Dragon of Ci' of our China. How disrespectful!"

Xia Tian's eyes suddenly turned to the man in blue, his face full of surprise.

The name Jiaxuan may be unfamiliar to some elderly Chinese people.

However, for young people, most of them will definitely sound familiar.

Xin Qiji, whose courtesy name is Youan and also Jiaxuan, was a native of Jinan in the Southern Song Dynasty. He was a representative figure of the bold and unrestrained school of Song poetry, and was known as "Su Xin" together with Su Shi!
However, what many people don’t know is that Xin Qiji is not only a “literary man”, but also a “military general”!
The most amazing thing that Xia Tian knew about Xin Qiji's life was undoubtedly "fifty riders raided the camp and captured a traitor alive"!
At the beginning, Xin Qiji gathered the people and rebelled against the Jin Dynasty.

He urged the leader of the rebel army, Geng Jing, to "decide to head south." Geng Jing then ordered Xin Qiji to represent him in meeting the Southern Song court to express his intention to surrender!
Unexpectedly, just after Xin Qiji successfully contacted the court and confirmed the details of his surrender.

However, a major change occurred within the rebel army. The traitor Zhang Anguo and others murdered Geng Jing and led their troops to surrender to the Jin Dynasty.

Upon hearing the news, Xin Qiji was furious and immediately took fifty people to the Jin camp.

At that time, Zhang Anguo was drinking with the Jin generals. Xin Qiji and others unexpectedly attacked the Jin camp and captured Zhang Anguo among the 50,000 Jin soldiers.

He escaped from the pursuing enemies, rushed back and presented the captives to the emperor. Later, Zhang Anguo was beheaded in Lin'an as a public display.

Xin Qiji's witty and courageous action caused a great shock in the court and the country of Southern Song Dynasty. "The heroic voice inspired the Confucian scholars, and the holy emperor sighed three times when he saw it."

Unfortunately, it is just a pity that the Southern Song Dynasty's policy of secluding itself in a corner destined it to be like a dragon trapped in shallow water, with its talents unable to be fully utilized!
"Your Majesty, Jiaxuan has a heart to serve the country and aspirations to restore the country. He is a rare talent. I want to introduce him to you. Such a talent is exactly what our Great Xia Dynasty is looking for to govern the country..."

Wang Yangming spoke up from the side.

This last saint has now automatically assumed the status of a minister of Da Xia, and is no longer as “aloof and aloof” as before!
"Mr. Jiaxuan is a dragon among the Chinese people. He is willing to come to our Great Xia Dynasty. This is naturally very gratifying. I will definitely treat him with the courtesy of a national hero..."

The joy on Xia Tian's face was not false or polite.

In fact, Xia Tian had really longed for this famous poet of the Southern Song Dynasty's bold and unrestrained school for a long time.

Although the Southern Song Dynasty was weak and incompetent.

However, there are also many outstanding people among them, and even the prosperity and peace cannot erase their ambitions!
I don't hate the ancients for not seeing me, I hate the ancients for not seeing my madness; thinking back to those days, with weapons and horses, we swallowed thousands of miles like tigers; who can ask: Lian Po is old, can he still eat? I have been to the north and south of the Yangtze River all my life...

Anyone who has received nine years of compulsory education in China can definitely recite a few poems by Xin Qiji.

Once you know his life story, you can't help but like him more.

Not to mention that Xin Qiji himself possesses the ability to lead troops in battle, govern the country and make strategies, and even possesses impressive military power and the cultivation of a "saint" level!

Whether it is popularity, martial arts, or literary talent, in any aspect, Xin Qiji can be regarded as top-notch. Adding all of them together, he is definitely a genius at the Yubai level!

This kind of outstanding person is both civil and military.

It was indeed what the Qianxia Dynasty needed very much.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for Xia Tian not to covet the "Dragon in the Words". However, it is probably not so easy to lead two saints to the eternal land at the same time.

[Note that each channel corresponding to the 'Human Holy City' can only host one Saint. If you want to open more channels, you need to 'replace' them with Saints of the same level! ]

Because at this moment, a message from the will of the earth emerged in Xia Tian's mind.

"The Holy City of Human Race? What is this!"

Xia Tian's heart moved.

[The Human Race Holy City is a special city built by the Human Race to cultivate "Saints" for the Human Race. Only those who have the qualifications to become "Saints" can enter it, and only after becoming a Saint can they leave and descend into the Human Race's territory.]

[Each territory can only receive one human saint for free, but you can accumulate merits by killing saints of other races to receive more human saints. In addition, you can also enter it to pursue the path of "becoming a saint" based on relevant merits! ]
