dawn of dynasty

Chapter 192: In a miserable life, I dare to ask where is the way?
Su Yuan's expression was very serious, and he dropped a bombshell in front of Shen Guanye.

what?
Shen Guanye's mind went blank for a moment.

Even after reacting, he thought he had heard wrongly.

Without him, this news is too heavy and too sudden.

Before that, he didn't even have any news - which meant that the Bilong clan's intelligence system might not know about it at all.

But if this matter is true, then this is definitely a major event that may affect the course of Tianxia's history!

For such a big matter, the Bilong Clan's intelligence department didn't even get the slightest information. It was really inappropriate.

The Gui Clan is one of the most powerful warlords in Tianxia, ​​or even one of them.

Because apart from the Tianlong Clan, which currently occupies the position of the central government, the Ghost Clan is the strongest.

Since the Tianlong clan belongs to the central government, of course it cannot be regarded as a warlord. Then isn't the Gui clan the most powerful warlord in Tianxia?
Not only that, the Ghost Clan is still the only force in Tianxia that has a 14th-level lair.

It has a lair of the ghost gate god - this is the 14th level heroic spirit of the Fengdu system!
The ghost gate gods refer to Yulei God and Shentu God. In Tianxia legend, these two gods are the great ghost gods who guard the gate of Yintu. They live in Taodu Mountain and have the ability to drive away all ghosts in the world!
Much better than the door gods under Shen Guanye.

Although the Fengdu series ranks low among all series of heroic spirits, the main reason is that its series is incomplete and several ranks are vacant. This does not mean that it is really very weak.

Furthermore, no matter which series of heroic spirits reach level 14, they will not be weak - not to mention, the Fengdu series is not really weak.

Therefore, the strength of the Ghost Gate God is very terrifying!
The ghost sect that owns the ghost sect's lair is naturally extremely powerful and can intimidate all nations.

At least, it is much stronger than Bilong Valve.

Whether it is in terms of lair level, territory size, number of troops or number of masters, the Bilong Clan is a whole level behind the Ghost Clan.

The only thing that makes the Bilong Valve better than the Guimen Valve is probably its advanced equipment.

If the Star Nation behind it didn't take action, the Bilong Clan would never be a match for the Ghost Clan.

Throughout Tianxia, ​​there was only one force that could withstand the forces of the Ghost Clan, and that was the former Tianlong Clan and now the central government.

Because it is the other of the two major forces with a 14th-level lair.

The central government owns a lair of the green dragon, and the green dragon is a 14th-level heroic spirit of the mountain and sea system!
Thinking of this, Shen Guanye's heart sank.

He didn't really care about Marshal Hong's safety.

He is not a foolish and loyal person, and he has no good impression of Marshal Hong. He even regards him as a traitor in his heart.

What does it have to do with him whether he is dead or not?
but!

If the Gui Clan really succeeds in assassinating Hong Canghai, then there will inevitably be a war between the Gui Clan and the Bilong Clan.

Although the Ghost Clan is strong, it will have to break its muscles to defeat the Bilong Clan. What's more, how can the Star Nation behind it sit back and watch the Bilong Clan be defeated?
At that time, the Star Kingdom will definitely intervene.

These are not the key, the key is that one move can affect the whole body. A battle between the two top five warlords in the country is likely to trigger a nationwide war!
Even if the central government wants to mediate and suppress such a war, it cannot suppress it.

It will surely burn lives.

Although warlords fought in Tianxia these years, the scale of the wars was not large.

It is either a small-scale conflict between big warlords, or a war between small warlords, which is small in scale and generally controllable.

But if it turns into a nationwide war between warlords, who knows how many people will die!
No matter who wins or loses, it will be Tianxia's vitality that will be sacrificed!
At a time when great powers are surrounding us, this could not be worse.

If they really fight together, it is not impossible that the powers will see an opportunity and invade again.

Do not!
Given the aggressive nature of the great powers, this is almost inevitable.

Shen Guanye couldn't help but look at Su Yuan.

"This is impossible, right?"

He did not doubt the authenticity and accuracy of the intelligence.

As a large national organization, the National Salvation Association has many members from all walks of life.

In terms of strength, the National Salvation Council is definitely not as good as the big warlords, but in terms of intelligence capabilities, the Bilong Clan may not be as good as the National Salvation Council.

For example, it is difficult for Bilong Clan to place spies in Gui Clan, but the National Salvation Association has a large number of members in Gui Clan, and there are even some who are in key positions or even high positions.

This is also the reason why the Bilong clan didn't get any information, but the National Salvation Association was able to find out such top-secret information.

But why?

It doesn't make sense!

There is a huge Tai'a Valve between the Guimen Valve and the Bilong Valve!
Tai A Fana is also one of the few great warlords in the country, ranking above Bilong Clan, and has two 13th level lairs.

Will the Gui Clan attack the Bilong Clan through the Tai A Clan through the air?

Or is it that the Tai A Clan has already united with the Ghost Clan?
can't you? ? ?
If so, can the central government still sit still?

The strength of the troops directly under the central government is limited compared to that of the ghost clans. They can only subdue the ghost clans by relying on the righteousness of the country.

If the ghost clan and the Tai'a clan unite, the central government will definitely have trouble sleeping and eating.

Chaos is coming!

Also, is there any life-and-death feud between the Gui Clan and the Bilong Clan?

Or does Marshal Helian, a member of the ghost family, have any life-or-death feud with Marshal Hong, so much so that they want to assassinate him?

no? !
Although Marshal Helian had a raging temper and dared to quarrel with anyone, he never had a fierce conflict with Marshal Hong. After all, there was a Tai A family between them, right?
Even because of the existence of Tianchuan, there were not many conflicts between the Bilong Clan and the Tai'a Clan, let alone the Gui Clan further away.

At most, it was just a few quarrels between the two sides.

After all, Marshal Helian has a hot temper and is the most hated person for being a traitor and a lackey. What Marshal Hong hates most is that others call him a traitor and a lackey, and he is also a narrow-minded person...

But - could it be that Marshal Helian wanted to assassinate Marshal Hong because he couldn't bear to see Marshal Hong as a big traitor?
"It's true."

Su Yuan looked solemn and was about to continue saying something, when suddenly she seemed to notice something.

"Wait a minute, someone is watching outside your house!"

Before he finished speaking, the person floated out of the window.

Shen Guanye was startled, and immediately activated the power of the lower Eight Scenery Gods to fly out.

The moon was dark and the wind was high, and in the sky over Hongdong County, a very faint figure could be seen rising into the sky and heading towards Zhenlongjiang at great speed.

Su Yuan was chasing after him, Feng Xu Yufeng, calm and kind, looked like a fairy from the Moon Palace in the night, but his speed was very slow.

Shen Guanye looked at the pale figure escaping towards Zhenlongjiang at high speed, his expression was very ugly.

He didn't expect that someone had hidden Shang Kui and the Night Evil God from their perceptions and had been spying on him and their home.

Shen Guanye shuddered at the thought of such a great master spying on him secretly, but he didn't notice it at all!

At that moment, he no longer hesitated, and immediately let the Night Fiend god get on his body, covering him with black and red divine light. He completed the image transformation in the blink of an eye, and then activated "holding the body in the white blade, killing in the world of mortals", and the figure flashed and disappeared. not see.

The scene changed, and in the blink of an eye, Shen Guanye had blocked the person's escape. The huge curved knife flashed past, and the next second, Shen Guanye had already appeared in front of the person.

Facing Shen Guanye's surprise attack, the visitor struck out with a palm, and golden light suddenly appeared, hitting the Night Evil Sword.

At the same time, Su Yuan also arrived.

I saw a few green lotus sword energy falling from the sky, killing those who came towards me.

"and many more!"

However, Shen Guanye suddenly stopped him. The figure flashed and the Night Evil Sword slashed through, defeating the Qinglian Sword Qi.

"One-legged old man? Is that you??!!"

Shen Guanye looked at the person opposite him in disbelief, his mind constantly replaying the fleeting aura of dragon and tiger just now.

The man opposite was not only a one-legged old man, but also the Dragon and Tiger martial artist who had helped their family twice! ! !
Shen Guanye really couldn't connect the two.

He had made many guesses about the identity of the senior Longhu martial artist, but he had never thought about the one-legged old man.

Because a novel is a novel and reality is reality.

In novels, there are often those kind of hermit masters who live in seclusion in the city and like to pretend to be beggars.But in reality, which expert would do this?

If it were you, would you do it?

He obviously has superb strength and wealth and status at his fingertips, but he still wants to pretend to be a beggar who is despised and hated by others?And it’s not just a day or two, but years and months!

Isn't this sick?
Shen Guanye released the power of the Night Evil God, and Su Yuan flew to his side and stood side by side with him.

The one-legged old man glanced at Shen Guanye, said nothing, and continued flying forward.

The empty trouser legs rustled in the night wind.

Although the one-legged old man still maintained his withdrawn and taciturn persona and had no intention of communicating with him, Shen Guanye followed him immediately in silence.

"Is this the senior Longhu martial artist that day?"

Su Yuan's voice sounded in Shen Guanye's mind.

She had been to Shen's house several times, and of course she had an impression of the one-legged old man, but she was also surprised when she realized that the one-legged old man was the Dragon and Tiger martial artist that night.

There are many members of the National Salvation Association, from all three religions and nine streams, and many of them are Crouching Tigers, Hidden Dragons, but this is the first time she has seen such a one-legged old man.

"Senior, thank you for your intervention that night."

Su Yuan suppressed the surprise in her heart and thanked her sincerely.

The one-legged old man remained silent.

Finally, maybe he couldn't get rid of Shen Guanye and the two, or maybe he was finally ready to face the problems between Shen Guanye and the two.

In short, after flying in the sky for a while, the one-legged old man stopped on a small island on the Zhenlong River.

Seeing this, Shen Guanye and the others also stopped silently.

"Senior, you are so strong, why are you willing to be a beggar, and why do you protect our family? Does our family have any connection with you, senior?"

After waiting for a few seconds, Shen Guanye asked.

Along the way, countless thoughts flashed through his mind.I even couldn't help but imagine a bloody drama in my mind: "A poor boy falls in love with a girl from a rich family, but after many years, he is willing to pretend to be a beggar and silently protect his sweetheart"!

Otherwise, what else could it be because of?

In the entire Shen family, the only person he could think of who could be related to the one-legged old man was his grandmother.

"I am a sophomore in Xuanjia..."

The one-legged old man suddenly spoke, interrupting Shen Guanye's idle thoughts.

Emperor Xuanjia was the penultimate emperor of the previous dynasty. He reigned for 28 years before Emperor Yongxing, so the one-legged old man is 78 years old this year.

……

Jiang Feng howled, and with the one-legged old man's self-narration, all the nonsense in Shen Guanye's heart had long since disappeared.

In the end, there was only sadness, speechlessness, and deep regret for the unreasonable speculation I had just made - it is really a kind of great frivolity to make up some things for an old man who has endured such great suffering.

The one-legged old man's surname was Shi, and his name was Shi Liangyou. He came from a poor family. He lost his father and mother when he was young. If he hadn't been taken in by a Taoist temple, he would have died long ago.

His name was also given by the Taoist priest.

But that Taoist temple is not a big Taoist temple with a lot of incense. It is just a small Taoist temple. There is no money for incense and incense, so it has to be self-sufficient in everything.

But with Master and a few brothers, even though life was hard, Shi Liangyou didn't find it unbearable.

In fact, old age makes him forgetful. Now that he is older, what he thinks of most often is the time he spent in the Taoist temple during his childhood.

The old Taoist who adopted Shi Liangyou was a Taoist enlightened person, but his level was not high, and he was only a third-level enlightened person until his death.

But the level 3 Apocalypse was enough to teach Shi Liangyou and his brothers some boxing and kicking skills for self-defense and health.After he started practicing boxing, Shi Liangyou showed amazing talent in martial arts.

Unfortunately, there is no superior martial arts inheritance in the Taoist temple. In order not to delay Shi Liangyou, the old Taoist took him around to study. After many hardships, he finally became a disciple of a dragon and tiger martial artist.

The days seemed to be getting better, but when Shi Liangyou returned to the Taoist temple after completing his studies, he found that the Taoist temple had been burned into ruins by fire. The old Taoist priest and his brothers were all killed by bandits, and no bones were left. .

The grief-stricken Shi Liangyou went to the mountain stronghold alone, killed all the bandits, and then fell into a long period of grief.

However, time can smooth everything.

A long time passed, but Shi Liangyou still healed the pain in his heart, married a wife and had children. Time also moved from the Xuanjia Dynasty to the Yongxing Dynasty, and entered the chaotic period at the end of the dynasty.

Then, suffering struck again.

Because he was a powerful dragon and tiger martial artist, he joined the court's team to suppress the rebels in his early years, and personally led the team to suppress many rebels. Later, when his eldest son grew up, he also took his eldest son with him. around.

At first, he felt that the rebels were all rebellious officials and traitors, and they could live a good life only if they had to rebel, so they should be killed!

But - as the imperial army killed batch after batch of rebels, he found that the number of rebels not only did not decrease, but became more and more.

At that time, he felt that something was wrong: was what he was doing really right?

Is the court really just?

Then, his eldest son was killed by the rebels.

What's even more frightening is that everything around him is telling him that he and his son deserve it, because they have killed countless people and committed serious crimes. If they die, it will be God's will.

Frustrated, Shi Liangyou resigned and went home after taking revenge.

Then, the foreign powers invaded.

This time he learned his lesson, took his second son to join the rebel army, and actively participated in the battle against the invasion of foreign powers. In Shi Liangyou's opinion, this can't be wrong, right?
Then the second son also died, and those people told him.

The rebels are a bunch of rabble, backward, decadent, and destined to be eliminated.

It was as if the blood shed and the lives lost by the foreign devils killed by his second son had become a joke.

Then, he said that he didn't want to go to the battlefield anymore. Fame, wealth, family and country had nothing to do with him. He just wanted to guard his old wife and young son and spend the rest of his life talking.

However, the younger son also secretly ran away to join the army, and perhaps because he had been thinking about the death of his eldest son and second son for many years, the younger son did not join the imperial army or the rebel army this time, but joined the Central government forces.

In Shi Liangyou's view, since his previous two choices were wrong, only the central government army is the right choice.

Judging from the situation at that time.

The imperial court has been overthrown, although the royalists still have a strong force, retaining many heroic lairs including a 13th-level lair, hundreds of thousands of troops, and a huge territory.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is impossible for the previous dynasty to come back and unify the world.

After looking at the 3000-year history of the Tianxia dynasty, there are only a very small number of people who can resume the legal system after it is interrupted.

The rebel army is still there, and its strength cannot be underestimated.

But it was no longer as vigorous as the previous years. Under the double blow of the imperial army and foreign powers, not only heavy losses were suffered, but also huge internal disputes arose.

It has long become rotten and pickled.

It is the central government army that truly has the new atmosphere of the new dynasty. It seems that only the central government army can turn the tide and rebuild Tianxia!
But at that time, he was already afraid and no longer dared to join the battlefield.

Who would have thought that the youngest son would sneak away to join the army?The younger son was influenced by him and naturally believed that the central government was Tianxia's future.

Then, the first prime minister suddenly came back to power and wanted to be the emperor.

Full of new atmosphere, the prosperous central government soon fell apart, was overthrown, and became the second central government, and his youngest son also died in the turmoil in the middle.

"So, Mr. Shen, you are very knowledgeable. Can you tell me where the problem lies? What...what is the right choice?"

The one-legged old man's heart had already died, but in the end, he still had emotions.

Shen Guanye was speechless.

He didn't know how to answer either.

Looking beyond history and looking at future generations, it is self-evident what is right.

But for people who have lived through this period of history, how can it be so easy to see the way forward?
A small wave of the times can drown thousands of people, let alone the midnight of this storm and the eve of dawn?Any large wave can drown hundreds of thousands or even millions of people.

Can you say that these people are stupid and ignorant, knowing that the boat is going to capsize but they still keep pushing forward?
For most people in this era, they really cannot see the way forward clearly.

Even Shen Guanye didn't dare to 100% say that there would still be a dawn in Tianxia today.

Fate is too cruel for the Tianxia people in this era.

I don’t know how many miserable people there are like the one-legged old man.

"I do not know."

Shen Guanye did not talk big words, nor did he say any upright and awe-inspiring chicken soup for the soul such as "I guarantee that Tianxia will have a future, and your son's sacrifice is meaningful."

For an octogenarian who has suffered deeply and been ridiculed by fate, such words are too condescending and too frivolous.

It is impossible for people to suddenly gain the power of life just because of these few words.

Words are weak most of the time.

For those who have suffered or are currently suffering, the comfort of others is of no use at all. The only one who can help them get out is themselves.

"But - senior, I hope you can see that day, the day when Tian Xia rises from the ashes. Also, don't you want to see what will happen to your enemies in the end?"

Chicken soup for the soul may not be able to cheer up a depressed person, but hatred can.

A ray of light suddenly flashed across Shi Liangyou's cloudy eyes.

"Senior, how about this, you just stay in Shenjiawu first, and I hire two people to take good care of you. We can talk about the rest later?"

Shen Guanye continued, and when Shi Liangyou didn't respond, he couldn't help but add another sentence.

"Senior, you have guarded our family for so many years and helped our family twice. You must give us a chance to repay you, right?"

He had noticed before that the one-legged old man was in serious physical condition, and he was afraid that he would not live long.

Even though I now know that he is actually a ninth-level dragon and tiger martial artist, it still cannot change the fact that the other party is already dying.

There was no way, Shi Liangyou was old, and he had a lot of hidden wounds left in his early years. He didn't even think about recuperating, he just waited to die slowly.

In this case, even a ninth-level dragon and tiger martial artist must leave.

Man, once your morale is gone, no matter how good you are, you will not be able to escape death.

Therefore, if you want to extend Shi Liangyou's life and reverse the death energy in his body, you must first give him the thought of living, and then regulate his body.

As long as Shi Liangyou wants to live, then with the powerful vitality of the Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts Master, he will definitely be able to break through the calamity of death. When the time comes, and with the God of Five Zangs regulating the internal organs, there may be further possibilities.

"Yes, senior. You also saved me and my companions. Always give us a chance to repay our kindness."

Su Yuan also said.

I don't know if Shen Guanye's words, "Don't you want to see what happens to your enemies in the end?" played a role, or if it was some other reason.

Anyway, the old man finally nodded hesitantly.

After that, Shen Guanye sent Shi Liangyou to Shenjiawu overnight.

First, he arranged for someone to boil water for cooking and prepare a change of clothes. Then he quickly talked about Shi Liangyou's affairs with his parents, the old man, his uncle, his wife, and others.

After learning that the one-legged old man was the mysterious master who helped the Shen family twice, everyone was surprised, and then they repeatedly said that they would take good care of the one-legged old man.

Shen Guanye especially spoke a few words to the old man. The old man was several years older than Shi Liangyou. People of the same age always understand their peers better.

The old man has always been very understanding and friendly, so having him chat with Mr. Shi from time to time can provide some relief.

He didn't ask Mr. Shi to come out immediately. A person could self-exile and be willing to wander and beg for many years. His heart had long since collapsed into ruins, and rebuilding it would not happen overnight.

All he wanted was for Mr. Shi's mental state to improve a little bit.

The old man obviously understood this very well, so Shen Guanye could rest assured.

Afterwards, after a fresh change of clothes, I asked the barber who had been called earlier to trim Mr. Shi's hair and beard that had not been trimmed for many years.

After all, if you want to start from scratch, you have to start from the "head", right?
A man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle. After being trimmed and washed, Mr. Shi still looks like a zombie, but he looks a little more energetic after all.
