Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Ten Ferocious Heavenly Horned Ant

Han Fei closed his eyes. He knew that Dong Qing made a lot of sense, but he really couldn't convince himself to join forces with Xueyi Hou Bai Yifei to attack his own brother.

He held in his heart a world governed by law, and also a world governed by benevolence and righteousness.

Therefore, he knew in his heart that he could not be a king.

The time that follows.

Han Fei didn't think too much about it, nor did he continue to ask Dong Qing if there were any other ways to turn the tide and save the country from collapse during its time of crisis.

the reason is simple.

South Korea belongs to him, but not to Dong Qing. Dong Qing was already more than generous in saying those things to him before, and he couldn't force Dong Qing to come up with a way to save South Korea.

......

Half an hour passed.

"Zhuangzi once wrote a piece on swordsmanship that I find very insightful. Has Young Master Shang heard of it?" Han Fei said to King Zheng of Qin.

"I would like to hear the details." King Zheng of Qin nodded.

He had naturally heard Zhuangzi's discourse on swordsmanship, but everyone had a different understanding of it, so he didn't mind spending some time listening to Han Fei's perspective on the discourse.

"In the world today, there are three swords, but only the king can wield them."

“There are swords for the emperor, swords for the feudal lords, and swords for the commoners.”

Speaking of it.

Seeing Dongqing pick up the teacup on the table and drink tea, Han Fei paused for a moment, and only continued to talk about his views on Zhuangzi's discussion of swordsmanship after Dongqing finished drinking.

"The Emperor's sword has Yanxi Stone City as its tip, Qi Dai as its edge, Jin Wei as its spine, Zhou Song as its guard, Han Wei as its flank, enveloping the four barbarians, wrapped by the four seasons, encircled by the Bohai Sea, belted by Changshan, regulated by the five elements, judged by punishment and virtue, opened by yin and yang, held by spring and autumn, and used in autumn and winter."

"This sword is unparalleled in its straightness, unmatched in its height, unmatched in its depth, and unmatched in its movement. It can cleave through the clouds above and sever the boundaries of the earth below. Once this sword is used, it will bring order to the feudal lords and subdue the world. This is the sword of the Son of Heaven."

"The swords of the feudal lords are sharpened with brave warriors, adorned with incorruptible officials, supported by virtuous and wise men, hilts made of loyal and holy men, and flanked by outstanding heroes."

"This sword is unparalleled in its straightness, unparalleled in its height, unparalleled in its depth, and unparalleled in its movement. It follows the round heaven to accord with the three luminaries, follows the square earth to accord with the four seasons, and harmonizes the will of the people to bring peace to the four regions. When this sword is used, it is like the thunderclap. Within the four borders, none will not submit and obey the king's command. This is the sword of the feudal lords."

"The sword of a commoner, with disheveled hair, a drooping crown, a tassel on his head, and a short robe, his eyes meet but his words are difficult. When they clash, he cuts off the neck and collar above, and severs the liver and lungs below."

"This sword is used for violence and bravado, and is paraded through the streets. It is the sword of a commoner."

That's all I have to say.

King Zheng of Qin pondered for a long time before speaking: "Besides that, in my opinion, the harsh laws and severe punishments advocated by the Ninth Prince are also a sword, a sharp sword for governing the world. It's just a pity that Han cannot tolerate this sword."

"A sword is a weapon of violence, and it is naturally intolerable." Han Fei shook his head.

"Although the sword is a weapon of violence, it is also the gentleman among all weapons. Although the sword is double-edged, it can kill or protect the righteous. The key lies in the person who wields the sword."

King Zheng of Qin spoke with confidence, believing that under Dong Qing's tutelage, he was an excellent swordsman and capable of leading the Qin state to new heights.

This is him now.

I dare not even dream of unifying the six kingdoms and bringing the world back under one rule.

To be honest, the Qin state never intended to unify the six states at first, but the six states became increasingly incompetent later on.

Chapter 752, Kindness is Only an Individual Act

"Young Master Shang, as one of the sword bearers, traveled all the way to Xinzheng in Korea, is it just to say these things?"

Han Fei wanted to know the true purpose of King Zheng of Qin's visit to Xinzheng, and the reason why he came here despite his own safety.

"I am very curious, how could one write an article outlining strategies for conquering the world in such a dilapidated courtyard?" King Zheng of Qin replied, while also asking Han Fei another question.

Needless to say.

The dilapidated courtyard refers to South Korea, a weak and dilapidated country that has reached the point where it cannot be rebuilt without destruction, but no one can bring about such a radical transformation.

"Some people have never seen an ocean in their lives, so they think that rivers are the most magnificent, while others can see a magnificent sea of ​​trees through a single fallen leaf."

Han Fei's answer was concise and to the point, without a single superfluous word.

"So, you are the latter?" King Zheng of Qin asked calmly.

"Only by traveling ten thousand miles can one see the vastness of the world. I once wandered far and wide..." Han Fei hesitated, as if he was thinking of his brothers and sisters again.

"Why wander? Is it because your home and country cannot tolerate you?"

King Zheng of Qin saw through Han Fei's insincerity at a glance, and also knew that his so-called brothers and sisters only knew how to scheme against each other, and none of them were genuinely concerned about the state of Han.

"In order to find an answer," Han Fei said, taking a deep breath.

"My teacher has already told you the specific method, but you seem unable to do it. You have too many concerns and cannot bring yourself to harm your own brothers and sisters."

King Zheng of Qin stood up and put his hands behind his back.

"Besides this answer, there is another answer."

Han Fei also stood up, pushed open the window beside him, looked at the lush green flowers, plants and trees outside, and let the breeze gently blow the strands of hair that fell over his shoulders.

"What was the answer?" King Zheng of Qin asked curiously.

He thought Han Fei was only seeking a way to save the state of Han.

I never expected that he had another pursuit in his heart.

"I met a teacher, who is now Xunzi. I asked him, 'Is there really a power in the world that transcends mortals and controls destiny in the dark?'" Han Fei said calmly.

These words were spoken.

Dong Qing couldn't help but cough and interject, "How did your teacher answer?"

"The teacher said yes," Han Fei replied.

"What kind of power is that?" King Zheng of Qin then asked.

"To be honest, Young Master Dongzi, that's what I asked you back then too." Han Fei's lips curled slightly as he couldn't help but make a cheeky remark.

In fact, if he had not been a prince of the Korean royal family, but had been born in a powerful state like Qin or Chu, his future would not have been so bleak.

He was rarely happy; most of the time, he forced a smile. Only the innocent and carefree Princess Honglian could bring him a faint smile.

Princess Hong-ryeon was a princess of Korea and the apple of King Han An's eye.

She is Han Fei's younger sister, innocent and carefree. She is full of hope and expectations for the future, and at the same time possesses the unique feelings of a young girl.

Unfortunately.

In the future, after the fall of Korea, the innocent Red Lotus is gone, leaving only the ruthless Red Serpent.

"Did your teacher answer?" King Zheng of Qin asked again, seemingly undeterred.

"Young Master Shang, are you really interested?" Han Fei seemed to want to stall for time.

"Ninth Prince, you haven't answered my question yet," King Zheng of Qin said calmly.

"Young Master Shang, what exactly is that power in the world that transcends mortals and controls destiny in the dark, the one you just asked about?" Han Fei repeated the question once more.

"Not bad." King Zheng of Qin nodded.

"High mountains become deep valleys, oceans turn into mulberry fields, the withering and flourishing of summer and winter, the rise and fall of nations, can be seen in ten years as spring comes and autumn goes, in a hundred years as birth, aging, sickness and death, in a thousand years as the change of dynasties, and in ten thousand years as the shifting of stars."

Speaking of it.

Han Fei paused for a moment, looked at Dong Qing and King Zheng of Qin, and asked them a question.

"If a mortal tries to understand the world over millions of years with the perspective of a single day, is he not just like a frog at the bottom of a well?"

Regarding this issue...

Dong Qing remained expressionless, too lazy to answer the question, because he had already peered into the bodies of the God of Life and the God of Kindness [Blazing Flame] for millions of years.

As for the millions of years of heaven and earth.

Let's talk about it when the time comes.

"Is this the answer?"

King Zheng of Qin sounded somewhat dissatisfied. He felt that Han Fei was just making a fuss. He naturally understood the power of time, but how could it be considered as controlling destiny?

Han Fei remained unperturbed by King Zheng's dissatisfaction and continued, "This power is all around us, filling the entire world. When you calm your mind and listen, it's like a song. Can you... hear it?"

When I first heard Han Fei say this.

That's pure nonsense.

But when King Zheng of Qin calmed down and carefully considered the meaning of every word Han Fei had said, he gradually understood what the power Han Fei had mentioned was.

It is indeed a song.

A touching song.

Why sigh so many times in this life? The fleeting years are endless. We watch the sands of time gather and disperse, and look back at the distant horizon.

Why do heroes sigh so often? Broken monuments lie scattered on crumbling walls. Do you not see the green hills, where the tombs of heroes have turned to dust and smoke?

......

Of course.

King Zheng of Qin did not recall the song mentioned above. Instead, he thought of the Nine Songs from the Chu Ci, which helped him understand what Han Fei meant by power.

Nine Songs was originally the title of a chapter in the Chu Ci (Songs of Chu). It is a name for an ancient song in Chinese mythology. The author of the Chu Ci was Qu Yuan, a native of the State of Chu.

The Nine Songs in the Chu Ci consist of eleven poems: "Donghuang Taiyi", "Yunzhongjun", "Xiangjun", "Xiangfuren", "Dasiming", "Shaosiming", "Dongjun", "Hebo", "Shangui", "Guoshang", and "Lihun".

However, what puzzled King Zheng of Qin was...

The Chu Ci Nine Songs contains the character Xiang Jun, who is now the same person as Dong Qing, the teacher of King Zheng of Qin, who taught him the four core theories.

the other side.

Dong Qing didn't recognize what song Han Fei was talking about, and was too embarrassed to ask them what they had heard.

that's it.

Time passed little by little, and in the time that followed...

King Zheng of Qin and Han Fei discussed for a long time, covering everything from national affairs to the livelihood of ordinary people. They were very enthusiastic and felt as if they had known each other for a long time.

Unfortunately.

When King Zheng of Qin expressed his desire for Han Fei to go to Qin, Han Fei politely declined, stating that as a prince of the Han royal family, he would only serve the Han state.
