The Heavens Start to Reverse Fate from Martial Arts

Chapter 162 You are an emperor, not a gambler!
Shi Long looked at the person who came, his mind racing, he quickly took out the Changsheng Jue, held his hands high, bowed respectfully and said: "It is a great honor for Shi Long to meet the Taoist master in person."

He raised his head and said with a serious and sincere expression: "Senior, the Taoist book was almost obtained by the tyrant, and Shi Long almost became a sinner for all eternity. I hope that you can bring the Taoist supreme book Changsheng Jue back to the Taoist sect for safekeeping, so that it will not be obtained by the tyrant and cause endless disasters."

I don’t know what means the visitor used, but he was able to seal all of his boiling true energy into his Dantian Qi Sea.

This method is too mysterious and terrifying. One can imagine how powerful this person is. He is probably only slightly inferior to the three great masters, and is as powerful as Tian Dao Song Que.

Yu Wenzhi's face was full of horror. He slowly turned around and looked at the person who came. The moment he looked into his eyes, his heart trembled.

He quickly avoided the other person's eyes and turned his head to look at the lifeless eyes of his subordinates outside the room. Looking at their stiff and motionless bodies, his heart sank to the bottom.

His beard trembled, and he forced a smile, cupping his hands and saying, "I am Yu Wenhuaji, the chief of the imperial guards. I have come here on the orders of your majesty to obtain the secret of immortality. Your majesty is very concerned about this matter. If you cannot fulfill your wish, I am afraid that the anger of the emperor will bring a lot of trouble to the Taoist priest..."

The implication of his words is very clear. I, Yu Wenzhi, am not his opponent, but the forces behind me have the strength to do so.

Wang Yi walked slowly to the stone dragon, took the longevity secret, and flipped through it slowly. He ignored the two of them and read the contents of the book word by word, even the tiny annotations, which he read with great interest.

After a cup of tea, he closed the secret of longevity and said with admiration: "The reason why the heaven and earth can last long is that they do not produce themselves, so they can live forever."

"The human body is a small world, and the outside world is a big world. The acupoints are the gateways, and the inside and outside are integrated into one, and the heaven and man are one. Using the big world to feed the small world, comprehend the yin and yang and five elements of the human body, and cultivate the three treasures of essence, energy and spirit together, you can prove the broken diamond and enter the path of immortality. This book is really extraordinary."

After saying this, his eyes flickered slightly, and his mind suddenly became active.

With his current knowledge, he felt a sense of sudden enlightenment after reading the Secret of Immortality. One can imagine how profound the realm of Huangdi's teacher Guangchengzi was.

It is said that in ancient times, Huangdi's teacher Guangchengzi entered the Temple of the God of War, studied the Atlas of the God of War, and after realizing the mysteries of heaven and earth, he wrote this Taoist classic.

There are many such seemingly true rumors in the universe, about the three ancestors of the human race, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the Three Pure Ones, the Western Buddhist sect, the Heavenly Palace, the Underworld, the gods and Buddhas of the heavens...

With so many seemingly plausible legends and hearsays, and so many traces of powerful men, eight words involuntarily emerged in his mind: Be in harmony with the Tao, and the Tao will reflect the heavens!
However, these are not things he is qualified to delve into now. The most urgent thing is to work hard to absorb nutrients.

Shi Long and Yu Wenzhi were shocked for a moment, and then they came to their senses and subconsciously exclaimed: "Can you understand the oracle bone inscriptions on it?"

There are a total of 7,400 characters in the book of Changsheng Jue, and only more than 3,000 characters have been deciphered so far, and this is the result of the joint efforts of countless sages.

If you say that there is someone in the world who knows all the words in the Secret of Immortality, no one will choose to believe it, because it is simply impossible.

But from the mysterious words coming out of the other person's mouth, as well as his expression and tone... it was clear that he had completely understood the secret of longevity, and what he had gained was extraordinary.

Wang Yi held the Changsheng Jue, put his hands behind his back and said calmly: "I am well-versed in history and the present, so I will naturally know it."

Oracle bone script, the characters carved on tortoise shells or animal bones by the royal family of the Shang Dynasty when they were fortune-telling and recording events, was the common characters among the nobles at that time. It has a primitive form, strong pictorial nature, different strokes, varied structures, symmetry and stability.

Oracle bone script may look very abstract, but the essence of writing remains unchanged, which is to describe the universe in images and shapes. One law can explain all laws, and the deeper the understanding of oracle bone script, pictographic script, seal script... the easier it is to understand the meaning of these words.

Yu Wenzhi was moved, and he smiled and bowed his hands to flatter him, "You can understand the secret of longevity, which is known as the divine book of Taoism. You are indeed worthy of being called knowledgeable. May I ask your name? What is your relationship with Maoshan Sect, Louguan Dao, and Shangqing Sect?"

There are many hermits in Taoism and many monks in Buddhism. This is something known to all forces. This person has such extraordinary means and his strength is hard to guess. He has never heard any information about such a powerful person in front of him. Only a Taoist hermit can explain this.

I just wonder if any of the three great masters know this person? Perhaps I can find an opportunity to find the Taoist Grandmaster Ning Daoqi and find out about this person's background.

Wang Yi glanced at him calmly and said calmly: "I am Taiyi, a wandering person in the world, and have nothing to do with Taoism."

Shi Long looked astonished. Ning Daoqi also called himself a Sanren, and this man also called himself a Sanren. Could it be that Sanren was so powerful?
Yu Wenzhi was stunned for a moment, his eyes flickered, and he cupped his hands and said, "I wonder if Taoist Taiyi is familiar with Grandmaster Ning Daoqi?"

Wang Yi glanced at Yu Wenzhi and said indifferently: "I need to see Yang Guang. Please lead the way."

After saying this, he turned around and left. He didn't pay attention to Shi Long who was hesitant to talk, nor did he pay attention to Yu Wenzhi whose expression kept changing.

Yu Wenzhi took a deep breath, glared at Shilong unkindly, and followed him with a flick of his sleeves. He could sense that if he dared to disobey the other party's will, he would die miserably, and since he didn't want to die, he could only obey his orders.

Shi Long looked at the two men's backs with a frown on his face. When he saw the soldiers standing outside the door, following them away like puppets, his heart suddenly became gloomy.

What is the purpose of this powerful person looking for Yang Guang? Is it good or bad for the people of the world? Will it make the already corrupt world even more corrupt?
After pondering for a long time, he turned around, packed up his things, and hurriedly disappeared into the night.

……

The night is deep, the moon is high in the sky, and the stars are shining.

The Daxing Palace City is solemn and magnificent, with carved beams and painted rafters, pavilions and corridors, and is extremely splendid.

Ganlu Hall is located deep in the palace city, surrounded by palace walls and tightly guarded. The furnishings inside the hall are extremely luxurious, and it looks magnificent under the bright lights.

Yang Guang half-closed his eyes, leaning on a soft couch covered with gold silk, playing with an exquisite jade cup in his hand. The wine in the cup was crystal clear, giving off a faint aroma. His lazy and majestic demeanor made people look sideways.

"Taoist Taiyi... is suspected to be a Taoist hermit, well-versed in history and modern times... I am really looking forward to... the secret of immortality... can I... achieve immortality?" He looked out at the hazy night outside the palace, his eyes condensed and misty. Not long after returning to Daxing City, Yu Wenzhi ordered someone to send a secret report 800 miles away. Thinking of the content of the secret report, he couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement in his heart, and was full of anticipation for the arrival of Taoist Taiyi.

If he had not had such expectations, he would have already led his trusted men to the Jiangdu Palace to settle down and start enjoying himself.

stomping on...

The sound of light footsteps was getting closer and closer. A sharp gleam flashed across Yang Guang's eyes as he opened and closed them. He suppressed all unnecessary emotions and looked calmly at the three figures walking slowly in the night outside the hall.

The eunuch Wei, the chief eunuch of the palace, led Yu Wenhuaji and Wang Yi into the Ganlu Palace slowly. He came closer and reported in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the people have been brought here."

"Your Majesty, I am your humble servant." Yu Wenzhi folded his hands and bowed deeply. Before the great event was accomplished, he had to keep a good attitude in front of Yang Guang, so that he could use the force to strengthen himself.

Yang Guang waved his hand and sat up. His eyes stayed on Wang Yi for a while, and he looked at Yu Wenzhi with a surprised look. This Taoist Taiyi was too young... But his elegant and fairy-like temperament was extremely extraordinary.

Yu Wenzhi understood why Yang Guang was surprised, put down his hand, bowed and whispered: "Your Majesty, Taoist Taiyi looks young, but he is actually 120 years old. His profound skills are so great that even this humble minister has to admit he is better than him."

He didn't believe that the other person was really as young as his appearance suggested, only sixteen or seventeen years old, so it was more reasonable to say that he had the secret to maintaining his youth.

Yang Guang lowered his eyes, raised his head and drank the wine in the cup, then turned his head to look at Wang Yi who was dressed in a green shirt and said lightly: "Are you Taoist Taiyi?" His voice was low and majestic, and his eyes carried a barely perceptible scrutiny.

Wang Yi's eyes were deep as he quietly examined this controversial emperor. He was eight feet tall, with a majestic appearance that surprised people of his time. This was how history books described his appearance.

It is difficult to say the merits and demerits of this person. After all, the decline of the aristocratic family started with him. The emperor most hated by aristocratic literati was none other than Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty. It is normal for him to use some Spring and Autumn style of writing.

But after traveling around the world and investigating in many ways, he could not help but have the intention to kill this person. This was also the only chance given to Yang Guang. If the other party's answer did not satisfy him, he would not have to worry too much.

"Hmm?" Yang Guang's face darkened, and he exerted force with his right hand holding the jade cup. His voice was low and calm, and no emotion could be heard: "I... am asking you a question!" His two mustaches twitched up and down, and an aura of majesty emanated from him.

Eunuch Wei and Yu Wenzhi, who were familiar with Yang Guang's temper, quickly lowered their heads, fearing that they would incur unwarranted anger.

Wang Yi looked calm and asked calmly, "If there is immortality in the world, does Emperor Sui think he is qualified?"

Surprise flashed in the eyes of Eunuch Wei and Yu Wenzhi. Their eyes flickered and they lowered their heads even more.

Yang Guang was slightly stunned, then burst into laughter. After laughing, he put the jade cup in his hand on the table beside him, narrowed his eyes, stood up and said proudly:
"When I was young, I drove the Xiongnu north to resolve border troubles, pacified the Southern Chen Dynasty and unified the north and the south. I stayed in Yangzhou for ten years, promoting Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism, and opening schools."

"Since I ascended the throne, I have built the Eastern Capital to bring peace to the world, opened the Grand Canal to connect the north and the south, promoted the imperial examination to open up careers for the poor, built the Great Wall to defend against the barbarians, conquered Goguryeo to eliminate border troubles, mastered the Western Regions, and sent envoys to all corners of the world, so that all nations come to pay tribute! I have too many achievements, surpassing those of Yao and Shun, unprecedented before and after!"

Yang Guang said as he walked forward, flicked his sleeves, stared at Wang Yi with disdainful eyes, and asked: "Such a great achievement can be called the greatest emperor of all time! Do you think I am qualified? If I am not qualified, who in the world is qualified?!"

He spoke confidently and boldly, with an overbearing and domineering manner. He had the majestic and sacred bearing of an emperor, and the conviction in his words was extremely firm and strong.

Wang Yi nodded slightly and continued to ask: "When Emperor Wen of Sui was in power, how many people were there in the world? How many people have there been in the world since you took the throne? Why are there righteous armies all over the world now? Why do the people I meet all call you a tyrant and a foolish ruler?"

Yang Guang's expression instantly became furious, as if his inner scales had been touched. He raised his hand and pointed at Wang Yi, shouting, "Are you questioning me? What qualifications do you have to question me? Who in the world has the qualifications to question me?"

"I fed these lowly people and gave them a way to live! But they actually rebelled against me! Without me, they would have been tenants and slaves all their lives! Ha... He is well-versed in history and the present, but it seems that he is just another hypocrite who only cares about his own superiority! My dear Lord Yuwen, drag this hypocrite away and kill him..."

After saying this, he lay back on the couch with a dull look on his face, picked up the wine jug to fill the jade cup, then held up the jade cup and drank from it with a dazed look in his eyes.

After venting his anger, he no longer had the heart to blame Yu Wenzhi, and he just recalled the glorious past.

Eunuch Wei looked at Yu Wenzhi who was standing still, a look of doubt flashed in his eyes. He reached out and tugged at his sleeve, tilting his head slightly to indicate.

Yu Wenzhi's mouth twitched slightly, he silently moved his sleeves, moved aside, and continued to bow his head without saying anything. Compared with Yang Guang, Taiyi Taoist made him more afraid. He might not die if he disobeyed orders, but he would definitely die if he took action.

Eunuch Wei was stunned for a moment, his eyes narrowed slightly, he realized something was wrong. He glanced at the young Taoist priest not far away, and saw that he looked calm and not panicked at all, so he immediately became alert.

"When Emperor Wen of Sui was in power, there were about 860 to 890 million households in the country, with a total population of more than million. It has only been a decade since you took the throne, and the population has changed due to harsh taxes, and now there are only more than million households left. More than million households have evaporated...Except for the aristocratic families who hid, the number of people who died is at least nearly million."

Wang Yi's eyes turned completely cold as he spoke, his vast martial arts spirit freezing the void, his hands behind his back, he walked towards Yang Guang without haste. His tone was icy cold, and he sneered without any hesitation:
"The eternal achievements you mentioned were built with the lives of millions of people! With such a huge karma, how can you compare yourself to Yao and Shun? How can you call yourself the greatest emperor of all time? You came to power by unfair means, and you are eager to prove yourself. Haha... the tyrant is not wrong to call you a tyrant."

Yang Guang was terrified, as if a mountain was pressing down on his heart, making him feel like he couldn't breathe. He struggled to twist his body, but found that except for his head, he couldn't move any part of his body.

He turned his head in fear and saw Yu Wenzhi and Wei Lianxiang, who were also standing there in shock, with panic and fear in their eyes.

He retracted his gaze, calmed himself, and said in a low voice: "This is ridiculous! This is not my fault, but the fault of the aristocratic families. How can they force everything on me! I have formulated a great strategy, but the officials of the aristocratic families, those corrupt officials, implemented it! In this situation, what can I do?!"

Wang Yi stopped and said indifferently: "You are too impatient! Too eager to make achievements and prove yourself to the world. Know the problem and solve it. Before the problem is solved, be a hidden dragon and accumulate strength. You are an emperor, not a gambler! You are not qualified to do anything reckless!"

Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty was not a foolish ruler, but he was an outright tyrant. He was an emperor without mercy and compassion. No matter how talented and wise he was, he was a disaster and source of misfortune for all the people.
