Daqin: The Greatest Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

In his opinion, the cultivation level of a mid-stage Grandmaster was still not safe enough. Not to mention anything else, just the Black and White Xuan Jian that was so close to him, if he confronted him head-on, he would most likely not be his opponent.

As the combat ceiling of Tian Xing Jiu Ge, Hei Bai Xuan Jian must have the cultivation level of a grandmaster. In terms of cultivation alone, he is one major realm higher than Su Xuan, but the victory or defeat between swordsmen is not just determined by cultivation level.

Sword skills and body movements are also extremely important parts.

To make a conservative estimate, the odds between the two are fifty-fifty.

After bathing and burning incense, Su Xuan clicked to sign in.

Along with the flickering of a faint blue halo, a dark and profound gem appeared in Su Xuan's hand.

[Psychic Orb]: Can communicate with people who have died within the past ten years, and keep them in the form of souls in the psychic orb. (Can be used 0/1 times)

Note: The soul in the spiritual bead is summoned by the host, and the host can control its life and death in a moment, and can control its survival time by injecting internal force. Once the spiritual person is bound, it cannot be changed again.

Su Xuan read it several times in disbelief.

Can we summon the souls of the dead? Going a step further, can we resurrect the dead?

Does this kind of ability still fall within the realm of martial arts?

Perhaps, in this world, there really is a power beyond mortals that controls all living beings in the dark?

His mind raced as he thought of the ancient kingdom of Loulan in the original novel and the unreasonable military demon god. Since the ninth son of the dragon, Pixiu, really existed, would the legendary Lady of the Nine Heavens still exist in the world?

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and finally he set his eyes on the spiritual orb, with an ambiguous smile on his lips.

Chapter 105 Ying Zheng

According to legend, Lady of the West originated in the Yellow Emperor period, 2,500 years ago.

Su Xuan used the psychic pearl to communicate with the spirits, but there was no response.

Did the fall happen ten years ago?

According to his idea, there was a high probability that supernatural powers existed thousands of years ago, otherwise the existence of the Soldier Demon God and the Pixiu could not be explained.

As for the Queen Mother of the West, even if she was a cultivator, if she had not become an immortal, she would also turn into a pile of dry bones under the erosion of time.

He decided to walk and see. If he could find a way to practice, that would be the best. If not, he would wait until the Qin Dynasty unified the world and then he would instigate Zheng Ge to dig graves and dig three feet deep in Loulan to see if he could get something useful.

Of course, these are all later stories. This thing is very useful right now.

He remembered that in the original novel, Xuan Jian had fallen in love with Wei Xianxian. For her sake, he gave up killing and sank the black sword to the bottom of the lake, leaving only the white sword to protect her and the child.

Xuan Jian once promised Wei Xianxian that he would retire from the underworld, but the ending of most killers is tragic, and even someone as strong as Xuan Jian is no exception.

Xuan Jian was very strong, but not strong enough. Under the crushing pressure from Luowang and Wei, he was outnumbered and could only watch his wife and children die tragically in front of him without being able to do anything.

This is also the reason why Su Xuan wants to develop his power.

When personal strength has its limits, no matter how strong a person is, how strong can he be?

Xiang Yu's bravery was unparalleled throughout the ages, but didn't he still die in the end under the human wave tactics?

Just as he was lost in thought, a gentle voice accompanied by a knock on the door came into his ears.

"Brother Su Xuan, are you awake?"

"Come in." He replied.

Nanyue pushed the door open and saw Su Xuan's energetic appearance. Her eyebrows curved and she said, "Brother Su Xuan, we have a distinguished guest coming today. We have been waiting for a long time."

She was wearing a light yellow long dress, which was fresh and elegant. Even though she was dressed conservatively, it was still difficult to hide her proud figure.

With this scale, I'm afraid there is already a 36D? Or 36E?

Only then did he realize that Nanyue was actually very charming and beautiful.

Under Su Xuan's unreserved gaze, Nong Yu's face turned red and she lowered her eyes slightly.

A little shy, a little happy, and also a little expectant.

Looking at Nanyue's stunning appearance, Su Xuan couldn't help laughing. He walked in front of Nanyue and said half jokingly and half seriously, "I suddenly realized that my Nanyue is also very beautiful, with a crescent-shaped halo and a beautiful girl from a small family."

The sudden praise made Nongyu at a loss, and her heart was beating like a deer.

How...why do you suddenly say such a thing...

The new moon is haloed, and you look like a beautiful girl next door. Am I really that good?

My Nanyue...this is too embarrassing. When Brother Su Xuan said this, does he already regard me as his and is ready to take me into his room?

Thinking of this, she felt as if steam was coming out of her head and her cheeks were red as if they were burning.

Just standing there, even without any movement, Su Xuan could clearly feel her nervousness.

Seeing her so weak and vulnerable, and so charming, under normal circumstances, Su Xuan would definitely bully her.

But right now, business was more important. He pretended to cough twice and said, "I'll trouble my Nong Yu to lead the way."

Only then did Nong Yu come back to her senses. Her face flushed red. She hummed softly, lowered her head, and led the way silently in front.

After a while, Su Xuan met Wei Zhuang and Gai Nie.

Gai Nie was wearing a blue and white tight robe. He had a handsome face and bright eyes, like a sword about to be unsheathed, with its edge fully exposed.

He held the sword in his left hand and saluted, "Guigu disciple Gai Nie, meeting Mr. Su Xuan."

Wei Zhuang stood in the corner, his arms folded across his chest, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

He rarely saw his senior brother being so polite to others.

Su Xuan held the hand in return.

"Sir, you once said in the chapter on people's livelihood in "Strategies of the Warring States" that one should worry about the world before he worries about himself, and be happy after the world is happy about himself. Along the way, everyone has vied to praise you. What you have done is admirable." Gai Nie said in a calm tone with respect. He looked at Su Xuan, affirming him and the path he had taken.

He had a good impression of Su Xuan because he and he shared the same ideals, and because he put his ideas into practice and did things that truly benefited the country and the people.

Su Xuan smiled slightly, "Teacher Xunzi often said that a scholar must be broad-minded and resolute, and the responsibility is heavy and the road is long. Isn't it a heavy responsibility to take benevolence as one's responsibility? Isn't it a long way to go until death?"

"If you are poor, you can only take care of yourself; if you are rich, you can help the world. This is the unity of knowledge and action."

Unity of knowledge and action, Gai Nie murmured to himself with a look of emotion.

How many people in this world can achieve this?

More often than not, there are many people who talk but few who act.

"Sir, you have profound knowledge, both moral integrity and talent. You are already a great Confucian scholar." He seemed touched and bowed again. "Gai Nie has learned a lot."

Wei Zhuang raised his eyebrows. It seemed that these two people got along better than he thought.

Su Xuan looked at Gai Nie and chuckled, "In this world, some people are just casual acquaintances no matter how long you get along with them, while some people can become close friends after just a few encounters. I think Mr. Gai Nie and I are probably the latter."

"Mr. Gai Nie, are you willing to be my friend?"

"I'm most pleased." Gai Nie nodded slightly, moved aside, and guided with his empty hand, "Mr. Shang has been waiting for a long time. Please come in, sir."

After walking through the courtyard, Su Xuan met Ying Zheng in the backyard.

He was wearing a white cloak, long hair draped over his shoulders, and a silver mask, and he looked extraordinary.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting, Master Shang." Su Xuan greeted him and turned his gaze to Ying Zheng.

He had respect and curiosity for the great emperor like Ying Zheng.

"You're welcome, sir." Ying Zheng slowly turned around and his eyes fell on Su Xuan. The man in front of him was gentle and elegant, giving people a feeling of being bathed in spring breeze, which made him feel good about him and his impression of Su Xuan was even higher.

"Establish a mind for heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the people, inherit the lost knowledge of the ancient sages, and create peace for all generations." Ying Zheng recited the four maxims skillfully, his eyes sparkling. "Every time I recite them, they awaken my ears. Although I have never met them, they make me yearn for them."

"I am very curious about how you could write such an article that plans for the whole world."

There was inquiry and curiosity in his eyes, as if he was looking for an answer.

Would his answer be different from Han Fei's?

Su Xuan looked up at the sky, and his original body's experiences from childhood to adulthood flashed through his mind.

When the original body was five years old, his father was drafted into the army, and he had never seen his father since then.

Near the end of the year, his mother seemed to have received some news and burst into tears. He was young and ignorant at that time, and didn't know what was going on, so he also burst into tears.

His mother took on everything at home, including farming, washing clothes, cooking... He seldom saw his mother smile. She often burst into tears, became silent and taciturn, and sometimes even lost her temper impatiently. After just a few years, his mother died of illness due to overwork.

The original body struggled to survive and never got up again on a snowy night until he traveled through time and space.

Human life is like grass and seems so insignificant.

How many tragedies are happening in troubled times?

Only after experiencing war can one know the value of peace.

"Rather than planning for the world, it's more like my vision." He looked at Ying Zheng, "For seven hundred years, the world has been divided into pieces, with various countries fighting each other, and countless people have been displaced and their families destroyed."

"Endless wars have brought too much pain and sorrow to this land."

When Ying Zheng heard this, he was shocked and felt like he had found a soulmate.

The six kings are gone, and the world is one. This is the ambition buried deep in his heart, and it is what he wants to do throughout his life.

For the first time, he felt that he was not alone, and he felt indescribably excited and thrilled.

Was this the scene when my great-grandfather met Shang Jun?

He took off the mask on his face and said seriously, "I also have a vision."

"That is to unify the six kingdoms and bring the world together. From now on, there will be no national boundaries, no language misunderstandings, and everyone can live together in harmony."

"Sir, are you willing to join me in creating a truly prosperous world?"

He extended the most sincere invitation, his eyes expectant but also a little nervous.

Will he reject himself?

Seeing Su Xuan remained silent for a long time, his heart sank suddenly.

Chapter 106: State Governance

Su Xuan was a little surprised. He didn't expect Ying Zheng to be so direct.

Long before Ying Zheng arrived, he had considered how to face Ying Zheng.

The reason why King Xiaowen of Qin met Shang Yang three times was because Jing Jian introduced him several times within the territory of Qin.

Now that Ying Zheng has come from afar, it is obviously not feasible for him to imitate Shang Yang.

And bowing your head is not appropriate either.

Because he knows very well that the easier it is to get something, the less likely we are to cherish it.

If one wants to elevate his status in Ying Zheng's heart, in addition to demonstrating his talents, establishing a unique personality for himself is also of utmost importance.

The character he created for himself was to make himself the only confidant of Ying Zheng.

As we all know, a person's impression of another person depends largely on the first impression.

If the first impression is good, it will often bring a filter halo, which can help him gain Ying Zheng's trust more quickly. Even if someone slanders him in the future, Ying Zheng will subconsciously favor him.

This is a kind of advance preparation and prevention, which can help him save a lot of unnecessary time and energy, and will also play a vital role in the future.

Ying Zheng was a little panicked when he saw Su Xuan remained silent.

He suddenly thought of the marriage arranged by King Han An.

Is it because of this?

He didn't mind marrying his daughter Ying Yinman to Su Xuan, but the age gap between the two was too big, which was obviously inappropriate.

He pondered for a moment, and then an idea came to him.

"I heard that you are still unmarried, but I have a suitable candidate. This woman is dignified, virtuous, graceful and well-mannered. She is a match made in heaven for you. If you don't mind, how about I act as a matchmaker for you?"

Su Xuan was stunned. He could never have imagined that Ying Zheng's thinking would jump so much.

Suddenly, a wife was given to me?

"This woman is the most extraordinary woman in the Yin-Yang family, Dongjun Feiyan."

is her?

It was hard to refuse this, so he said with a reluctant look, "Thank you, King Qin."

Ying Zheng smiled with satisfaction, thinking that if Su Xuan served in the Qin State in the future, he could reward him with more beauties.
