Starting from Naruto, fusion anime girls

While Kocho Shinobu and Fushigawa Sane were joking, Beimingyu Xingming also held the newspaper and explained to Zhao Shixia:

"Xiao Ren is only 16 years old this year. Although she has done some research due to her extraordinary talent, it is absolutely impossible for her to do such a heinous thing. If you don't believe it, just look at her appearance. In terms of age, she is not much older than fellow Taoist Zhang Taihua."

In fact, even if Beimingyu Xingming didn't explain, Zhao Shixia would not believe that the short and cute girl in front of him would be the mad scientist who killed people in the newspaper. Of course, this does not mean that Zhao Shixia would believe the Demon Slayer Corps. After all, the gap between Shenzhou and Xiaorizi in this era is too big, and it is almost impossible for people from the two countries to establish a real trust relationship.

Not to mention that the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum incident was originally a trick used by the Shenzhou Taoist sect to make trouble for the people.

The Mausoleum of the First Emperor is a well-known dangerous place in Shenzhou. Even tomb raiders who are good at tomb robbing dare not think of robbing the Mausoleum of the First Emperor. There are many masters in the Taoist sect of Shenzhou. The reason why they sent only three people this time is that they actually have no intention of digging out the First Emperor. The purpose is to use the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, a dangerous place, to trick the legendary evil Demon Slayer Corps.

It was only after actually coming into contact with the Demon Slayer Corps that Master Zhao realized how big the gap was between newspaper rumors and reality.

The ferocious scientist Shinobu Kocho who was said to have killed countless people was actually just a 28-year-old girl in reality. The evil organization Demon Slayer Corps, which was said to have used the lives of the people of Shenzhou for biochemical experiments, was just a civilian organization that killed demons according to Gyoumei Shimei. Moreover, there were a large number of minors among the members of the organization, who were not capable of conducting biochemical experiments at all.

While Beimingyu Xingming was communicating with Master Zhao, the young Zhang Taihua also set his eyes on Arisugawa Shusui. She was seen swinging two big braids, tilting her pretty face, and narrowing her big eyes. She carefully looked at Arisugawa Shusui's appearance and muttered:

"No, something doesn't seem right..."

Zhang Taihua's behavior made Arisugawa Shusui's scalp numb, and he thought:

Could this little brat figure out something?

In order to avoid his secret being discovered, Arisugawa Shusui immediately put on a smile and pretended to be calm:

"Sister Taihua, is there something wrong with me?"

Then, Zhang Taihua put on an adult look, frowned and analyzed:

"Sister, your face doesn't look good."

It turned out that Zhang Taihua noticed that Arisugawa Shusui's face looked different, and he was actually using the art of physiognomy to read the other person's fortune.

"What's wrong with my sister's appearance?"

Arisugawa Shusui touched his face curiously and asked doubtfully:

"I think I'm pretty good-looking!"

"In fact, your bone structure is not the problem. The key is your eyes."

Pointing at Arisugawa Shusui's pale pink eyes, Zhang Taihua pondered:

"Eyes like apricots, pupils like peach blossoms, eyebrows like Yao, pupils like water... This seems to be the appearance of a beautiful woman who brings disaster to the country and the people, who is a fox spirit in legend! The book says that Daji who seduced King Zhou, Baosi who played tricks on the princes with beacons, Zhao Feiyan who danced with the flute and the beautiful Yang Guifei all seemed to have this appearance."

As he spoke, Zhang Taihua pointed and said in a mature manner:

"So, sister, you must not marry into the royal family! Otherwise, you will be the one who brings disaster to the history books in the future!"

Hearing Zhang Taihua say this, Arisugawa Shusui breathed a sigh of relief and smiled:

"Sister Taihua, you are joking. I am a relative of the emperor of our country. How can I marry the emperor? Besides, in this world, there are not many countries that still have the monarchy. Even if I want to marry the emperor, there is no way!"

"Oh, yes!"

After hearing Arisugawa Shusui's explanation, Zhang Taihua suddenly realized:

"Now that there is no emperor, the beauty-bringing face is naturally useless! I was wondering why your sister's face looks so charming, but there is no karma? It turns out that the times have changed!"

Yes, times have changed.

Without an emperor, there will naturally be no more beautiful women to cause trouble!

Arisugawa Shusui laughed at herself in her heart, and then she started to play with Zhang Taihua again. She was very beautiful and had a gentle and virtuous temperament, so even though she was born in a royal family, she quickly became friends with the relatively simple Zhang Taihua.

Everyone exchanged ideas like this and got to know each other to a certain extent. Then, Beimingyu Xingming suddenly asked:

"Senior Rengoku Makijuro of our Demon Slayer Corps once met Taoist Fellow Daoist Liu Yuxuan from Wudang Mountain. So before going to Shenzhou this time, Senior Makijuro specifically asked us to say hello to Taoist Fellow Liu Yuxuan on his behalf. I don't know where Taoist Fellow Liu Yuxuan is and when we can meet her."

In this regard, Zhao Shixia explained:

"Although Junior Sister Liu was born in Wudang, she has been traveling in the Western Regions over the years, looking for traces of the former Taiqing Sect's Louguan Dao. I think after we go to Yongzhou Prefecture, Junior Sister Liu should have returned to Guanzhong from the Western Regions, and we will be able to reunite with her then."

Hearing that Liu Yuxuan was actually looking for the traces of the Taiqing Sect in the Western Regions, Hu Die Ren beside him asked curiously:

"What does Sister Liu want to do with Louguan Dao of Taiqing Sect?"

"What else could it be? Of course it's Tui Bei Tu!"

Zhang Taihua, who was still very young, shook his head and said:

"The bird has no feet, the mountain has the moon, the sun rises, and people cry. What do you think the 39th image of the Tui Bei Tu is talking about? Senior Sister Liu's family all died because of this hexagram, so of course she wants to ask the Louguan Dao of the Taiqing Sect for clarification!"

Shinobu Kocho and the others were not sure what "The bird has no feet, but the mountain has the moon" meant, but the meaning of the second half of the sentence "When the sun rises, people cry" was too obvious.

In the late Qing Dynasty, weren’t the Chinese people under the rule of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty like birds without feet? Wasn’t the bright moon in the motherland as dim as the moonlight in the mountains?

Just when the Chinese civilization was falling into darkness, the life in the East was rising like the rising sun. A naval battle not only shattered China's last fantasy, but also caused China to lose a large amount of territory and wealth. Who among the people of China did not cry bitterly for the fate of the country?

The faces of the people who came from ordinary lives at the scene all became serious. Especially Kocho Shinobu. You must know that after merging with Uchiha Izumi, she can already observe parallel worlds with the help of Uchiha Izumi's perspective. But if she wants to deduce the past and future of a world, she is still unable to do so.

This Taiqing Sect Louguan Dao could actually predict what would happen a thousand years in the future. This method was incredible. Especially his attainments in time and space, perhaps even better than Uchiha Izumi's.

In this state of surprise, Kocho Ren asked Zhang Taihua about the past deeds of the Louguan Dao of the Taiqing Sect. However, Zhang Taihua didn't know much about these trivial matters. So it was Master Zhao who spoke up:

"Legend has it that the Taiqing Sect of Louguan Dao was passed down by the Taoist ancestor after he traveled west to Guanzhong. It is known as the source of all Daoism in the world and the ancestral home of Huang-Lao in the world. Since its founding in the pre-Qin period, it has always been the leader of all Daoism in the world, occupying Taiyi Mountain, the first of the 72 blessed places of Daoism."

"As for why the Taiqing Sect is also called Louguan Dao, it is because the disciples of this sect love to observe the celestial phenomena and deduce the destiny of the world. The so-called building a tower with grass and observing the stars and the qi, this is the origin of the name of the Louguan Dao. But to be honest, the most famous thing done by the Louguan Dao is during the Northern and Southern Dynasties."

Having said this, Master Zhao deliberately glanced at the expressions of everyone present.

Zhang Taihua showed no interest in this, and Fushigawa Shiya didn't understand it at all, so the expressions on their faces were a little impatient. As for Beimingyu Xingming, although he could understand Chinese, he knew nothing about the history of the Southern and Northern Dynasties in Shenzhou. So when he heard that Zhao Shixia was going to talk about the Southern and Northern Dynasties, his expression was obviously a little confused.

Unlike the three people who were impatient and confused, Kocho Shinobu, Arisugawa Shusui and Nogizaka Bunzo were looking forward to it. Especially when Master Zhao mentioned the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the expectations on the three people's faces became even stronger. Obviously, these three people were not only interested in the history of Taiqing Sect, but also knew the history of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, which was very unfamiliar to most people in Shenzhou.

Sure enough, these three guys are not simple.

Master Zhao thought to himself, and then said:

"During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Sima family usurped the throne, leading to the Eight Kings Rebellion, the Five Barbarians' Invasion, and the Han people migrated south, and the mountains and rivers of the Han Dynasty fell into the hands of the barbarians. In the north of China at that time, the barbarians rode their horses into the Central Plains; in the south of China at that time, it was also a one-way street. Just when the civilization of China was in an unprecedented crisis, the Taiqing Sect made a surprising decision."

"They want to choose a wise leader for God!"

"Choosing a wise leader on behalf of God? What does that mean?" Hearing this, Kocho Shinobu was surprised:

"Could it be that they want to elect an emperor?"

"That's right." Master Zhao nodded.

"The Taiqing Sect has been observing the fortunes of the celestial phenomena for hundreds of years, and they are well aware of all the changes in the future. So they know who is most likely to become the emperor in the future! And they also know who is most likely to revive the Chinese civilization after becoming the emperor. So at this dark moment when the Hu people were rampant and the nobles were corrupted, the Taiqing Sect resolutely supported a Han Chinese named Yang Zhong."

"Yang Zhong, who is that?" Zhang Taihua asked puzzledly upon hearing this.

"Yang Zhong was a great general during the Western Wei and Northern Zhou dynasties. He was also the Emperor Taizu of the Sui Dynasty who ended the Northern and Southern Dynasties!" Shinobu Kocho explained.

"Emperor Taizu of the Sui Dynasty?" Zhang Taihua felt his doubts deepened:

"Wait, wait, wait, wasn't the founding emperor of the Sui Dynasty Emperor Wen of Sui, Yang Jian? How come there's another Yang Zhong?"

"Because Yang Zhong is Yang Jian's father." Kocho Shinobu continued:

"It was because of Yang Zhong's accumulation that Yang Jian was able to usurp the Northern Zhou regime based on his father's foundation and become the founding emperor of the Sui Dynasty."

"Oh, I see!"

Zhang Taihua nodded, indicating that she understood. Then she looked at Kocho Shinobu again, wondering:

"Wait wait wait, how do you know this?"

Zhang Taihua was puzzled:

"Aren't you just a normal person? Why do you feel like you know more about Shenzhou's history than I do?"

Looking at Zhang Taihua's surprised expression, Kocho Shinobu pretended to be serious and made a joke:

"Because we, Xiaozi, want to conquer you, Shenzhou! Since we want to conquer Shenzhou, we naturally have to understand Shenzhou. So starting from elementary school, our Xiaozi students have begun to learn the history of you Shenzhou people. We want to understand you Shenzhou better than you do, only in this way can we conquer you!"

Seeing the aggressive look of Shinobu Kocho, Zhang Taihua immediately stamped his feet in anger and said:

"Well, you're good-looking, so I thought you weren't a bad guy! Turns out you're also a devil! Just wait and see, I, Zhang Taihua, will understand the history of our ancestors better than you do sooner or later! We in Shenzhou will never lose to you little people!"

Seeing that Zhang Taihua finally showed interest in learning about his country's history, Kocho Shinobu nodded and said:

"Okay, let's see if your future self can surpass me in knowledge!"

"Hmph, just wait. I will never lose to you!"

Zhang Taihua said this, but then he felt something was wrong.

Why did Shinobu Kocho's actions just now make me feel like she was trying to trick me into studying? Was I being tricked?

But regardless of whether she was tricked or not, it was an indisputable fact that Shinobu Kocho knew more about the history of Shenzhou than Zhang Taihua, a native of Shenzhou. Out of the self-esteem of the Shenzhou people, Zhang Taihua, who usually didn't like studying, had the idea of studying hard for the first time.

As for Kocho Shinobu's behavior, both Gyoumei Beimingyu and Shusui Arisugawa shook their heads with a wry smile. Both knew that Xiaorizi was the invader at this time, but they could not accept this fact as calmly as Kocho Shinobu. And Nogizaka Bunzo looked at Kocho Shinobu with a bit of murderous intent, obviously thinking that Kocho Shinobu's actions tarnished the reputation of the country. As for Zhao Shixia, he had a high opinion of Kocho Shinobu.

After this incident, Kocho Ren said to Master Zhao:

"Senior Zhao, is it because of the Taiqing Sect that Yang Zhong, who originally came from a poor family, was able to succeed and lay the foundation for the Sui Dynasty?"

"That's right." Master Zhao continued:

"Relying on its vision of the future, the Taiqing Sect successfully supported Yang Zhong and Yang Jian, the father and son who carried the destiny of the emperor, and unified the land of China, which had been in turmoil for hundreds of years, under the Han court. When the Sui Dynasty was shattered by Emperor Yang of Sui's misdeeds, the Taiqing Sect supported Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, and assisted him in establishing the foundation of the Tang Dynasty for three hundred years."

"In short, the Taiqing Sect selected two generations of the most suitable emperors for Shenzhou. Not only did it save Shenzhou civilization from danger and usher in a new era of glory, but the Taiqing Sect's Louguan Dao also rose rapidly and became the state religion of the Tang Dynasty. However, everything has its pros and cons. After the two successive successes of supporting the Dragon Court, the will of heaven finally began to punish the Taiqing Sect."

"Just after the death of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, the masters of the Taiqing Sect began to calculate the next candidate for the Human Emperor. However, after repeated deductions, they were surprised to find that the next person most suitable to become the Human Emperor of Shenzhou was neither a royal family member, nor a noble, nor even a peddler. Because according to the Taiqing Sect's deduction, the next Human Emperor most suitable to rule the country is actually a woman!"

Chapter 142: Invincible within three feet

Even in the 20th century, when Demon Slayer was set, it was difficult for many countries to accept women in power. Even in countries like Britain where a queen reigned, the prime minister, who was a man, was the one who actually ran the country.

It was so difficult to find a woman with real power in the 20th century, let alone the Tang Dynasty a thousand years ago.

Therefore, even though Taiqing Sect knew that the result of the performance was correct, it still found it difficult to accept it. So faced with this difficult situation, Taiqing Sect split into two factions.

The conservative faction advocated giving up supporting the current generation of the emperor and focusing on the next generation. The Taiqing faction had no need to support a woman as the emperor, as this would not only create huge resistance but would also harm the fundamental ethics of the Shenzhou civilization!

But another group of people deduced that if the empress was not supported to ascend to the throne, she would become the second Jia Nanfeng, causing the once prosperous Tang Dynasty to collapse, and the people of China would once again experience the Five Barbarians' Invasion and migrate south. No one could guarantee whether China would be able to usher in a revival by then.

Therefore, in order to be responsible for the Chinese civilization, the Taiqing Sect finally chose to support that woman to ascend the throne.

And this person is naturally the only female emperor in Chinese history: Wu Zetian!

"In order to make Wu Zetian the emperor, the Taiqing Sect used every possible means. Not only did they defeat many Taoist masters who opposed Wu Zetian, they also used their own sect's thousand-year heritage to guarantee Wu Zetian. Finally, under the tough measures of the Taiqing Sect and Wu Zetian, a scene that violated historical common sense appeared. As a woman, Wu Zetian really became the emperor! But..."

At this point, Master Zhao paused for a moment, as if he was trying to organize his words. But Shinobu Kocho still guessed the truth of the matter and continued:

"However, the strength of the Taiqing Sect also made Wu Zetian, who ascended to the throne, feel wary. So soon after Wu Zetian ascended to the throne, as the emperor, she began to support Buddhism and suppress Taoism."

Zhao Shixia nodded upon hearing this and said:

"That's right. After all, Wu Zetian was not Emperor Wen of Sui or Emperor Taizong of Tang. She ascended the throne against the mainstream of the times, so she had a much greater sense of crisis than other emperors who ascended the throne normally. She was especially worried that the Taiqing Sect would support someone else to become emperor just as they had supported her. So the first thing Wu Zetian did after ascending the throne was to declare the Taiqing Sect a traitor and call on the Taoist sects all over the world to attack the Taiqing Sect and the Louguan Dao."

"At this time, the Taiqing Sect had not only suffered heavy losses in order to support Wu Zetian's ascension to the throne, but also offended the Taoist sects throughout the world. Therefore, facing Wu Zetian's suppression, the Taiqing Sect had no power to fight back. After the last fierce battle, the Taiqing Sect's mountain gate was massacred, and the scattered Taiqing disciples were also killed by the imperial court's troops. The Taiqing Sect's Louguan Dao, which had been passed down for thousands of years, just disappeared in the long river of history."

After Master Zhao finished talking about the history of the Taiqing Sect, Shinobu Kocho was naturally filled with emotion.

On the one hand, she was surprised at the audacity of the Taiqing Sect to choose a wise leader on behalf of the heaven, and on the other hand, she admired that the other party actually supported two generations of human emperors. Of course, Shinobu Kocho also lamented the ending of the Taiqing Sect. It turned out that the will of heaven could not be toyed with casually. The price of toying with the will of heaven was often like the Taiqing Sect, which was forced to disappear by the will of heaven.

In short, after a period of contact, the masters of the two countries have a certain understanding of each other. But even so, Nogizaka Bunzo still wants to challenge Zhao Shixia and test his "three feet in front of him, invincible in the world" weight. Fushigawa Shiya also has the same idea, so he often follows Nogizaka Bunzo to join in the fun.

Faced with the kindness of the two, Zhao Shixia naturally couldn't refuse. So before going to Guanzhong, Zhao Shixia first had a martial arts match with Nogizaka Bunzo. The two fought in the suburbs of Songjiang Prefecture, surrounded by a barren tidal flat. The time of the battle was at night, so as to avoid attracting attention.

Under a crescent moon, the sturdy Nogizaka Bunzo pulled out a long sword that was more than a meter long behind him, and the cold blade shone brightly under the moonlight. Opposite him, Zhao Shixia was still wearing the patched robe, with a smile on his face. Facing Nogizaka Bunzo's sword, he only stretched out two fingers.

"You don't use weapons?" Nogizaka Bunzo asked in surprise.

Zhao Shixia smiled and shook his head when he heard this:

"Since Zhao came down from the mountains at the age of 15, he has never used any weapons."

Seeing that Master Zhao dared to face Nogizaka Bunzo's sword with only two fingers, Shinobu Kocho and others felt that Master Zhao was a little too arrogant. Only Zhang Taihua, who knew Master Zhao well, excitedly cheered him on:

"Brother Zhao, show this little guy how powerful your Maoshan sect's Void Talisman is!"

Void Talisman?

As soon as Zhang Taihua said this, Master Zhao put his two fingers together to form a sword and pointed at the air. Then golden light gathered at Master Zhao's fingertips and turned into a golden talisman in the air. The talisman was marked with mysterious symbols, and in the middle was a majestic word "seal"!

Is this the Void Talisman?

Seeing Master Zhao casually draw a golden seal talisman, You Qichuan Qiushui couldn't help but say:

"I've heard that the Maoshan Sect is famous for its talismans. Even mortals with no cultivation can seal zombies by drawing special talismans on turmeric paper. And if a master of the Maoshan Sect doesn't need talisman paper, altar, peach wood sword or other external objects, he can use his deep cultivation to draw talismans with his middle finger in the air, and the power is no less than that of real talismans. However, to be able to draw talismans in the air, ordinary people need at least thirty years of cultivation. It's really amazing that Zhao Jun has such cultivation at such a young age."

Hearing that Arisugawa Shusui easily revealed the secret of the Maoshan School's Void Talisman, Master Zhao was surprised:
