Zhu Tian: Starting from the World of Zongwu

Master Bitter Melon left, and Song Xuan did not make things difficult for him.

As for keeping Qu Yang, it was purely a matter of convenience, just as a bonus for the buy one get one free deal.

Later, when I buy a big house and settle down, I can bring Qu Yang over to be the housekeeper.

After all, this old man used to be a senior executive in the Demonic Cult. Isn't he more than qualified to be a butler?

After staying in Liu's mansion for several days, Song Xuan couldn't sit still and prepared to take a trip to Mount Emei.

One was to meet the Emei Taoist Mu, and the other was to buy himself a sword that suits him best.

The long sword he is using now is the standard weapon of the Xuanyi Guard. Although it is mixed with some black iron fragments and the material is much better than that of ordinary swords, it is still incomparable to the real magic weapon.

As a swordsman, although not a pure swordsman like Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuxue, Song Xuan felt that he still needed a handy weapon.

He was very fond of the Emei Sect's Yitian Sword.

But before he could set off, an uninvited guest came to his door, which temporarily put his plan to go to Emei Sect on hold.

The person who came was Ye Gucheng, who was in a hurry and seemed to have something important to discuss.

Song Xuan received him in a study in Liu's mansion.

Ye Gucheng didn't waste any words and directly stated his purpose.

"A dragon vein was discovered in Qingzhou. Judging by the time, the dragon vein there should have been cut off!"

Song Xuan's heart was shaken, but his expression was very calm. He sighed and said, "You have finally taken this step!"

Ye Gucheng nodded, "I have remembered what you said before, so we will not touch the dragon veins here during your stay in Mingzhou!"

"Who will be in charge of the dragon vein severing in Qingzhou?"

Ye Gucheng pondered for a moment and said, "Mr. Liu is responsible for finding the dragon points and locating the dragon veins. Destroying the dragon veins will mainly be the responsibility of Mu Dao Ren, Dongfang Bubai and others."

Song Xuan frowned slightly, "Do you have any chance of success if you do this?"

"It's hard to say, let's test the waters with Qingzhou first!"

Ye Gucheng said with a carefree smile: "The Qingzhou dragon vein has been cut, and the world has undergone tremendous changes. According to Mr. Liu's calculations, the vitality of the world in Qingzhou will decline rapidly.

If the vital energy of heaven and earth on that continent was a lake before the dragon vein was cut, then after the dragon vein was cut, only a small fish pond remained.

What does this mean, Song Xuan, you should understand, right? "

Song Xuan nodded. "Qingzhou's heaven and earth vitality is limited, and it is definitely unable to support a martial arts master who can comprehend the power of heaven and earth. If nothing unexpected happens, it won't be long before the masters of Qingzhou are rejected by heaven and earth and expelled from there, right?"

Ye Gucheng smiled with a hint of pride, "The reason why the imperial court is so strong is that it has the highest military strength. Half of the known martial arts masters are from the imperial court.

In other words, he was a man of Zhou Taizu.

Therefore, over the past few hundred years, there have been rebellions, and even large-scale uprisings. However, each time, any Grand Master could easily quell the rebellion."

Song Xuan chuckled twice, "So, you thought of the method of severing the dragon vein?"

Ye Gucheng did not deny it, "It's not just me. In fact, many states have already planned to break away from the Great Zhou court, and many people have already started planning this.

And Qingzhou was the first test of the waters.

The governor of Qingzhou and the local aristocratic families wanted to use this to establish a country, while Mu Dao Ren and his companions wanted to rely on the country's fortune to try to condense the third innate flower.

The masters and grand masters of the imperial court are unable to get through, and with only the strength of the Xuanyi Guards in Qingzhou, even if there are some innate warriors in charge, they are likely to be unable to do anything to the local army.

What's more, Mu Dao Ren and his men are not weaklings. They are top-level existences in the Innate Realm, and their chances of success are not small.

If this succeeds, I'm afraid there will be more and more cases of states establishing nations by severing dragon veins."

Song Xuan sat at the desk, drinking tea and looking at him quietly.

"So, why are you telling me this?"

Ye Gucheng was stunned. What was going on?

"As a Xuanyi Guard, you're not worried or anxious at all when you hear about this situation?"

Song Xuan shrugged. "If the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. Why should I worry so much?"

Ye Gucheng was a little unconvinced, "When you wiped out those big families in Yangzhou, wasn't this your attitude?"

"That's because they're blind and rush to cause trouble. I'm a lazy person, so I can only take preemptive action to solve the problem in the bud."

Ye Gucheng looked him up and down, somewhat speechless, "In other words, if those eight major families had some sense and didn't provoke you, you could have lived in peace with them?"

Song Xuan nodded and smiled, "It's probably just a warning. I'm not a murderer. As long as we don't have a mortal enemy, I won't go for annihilation of the clan."

Ye Gucheng pondered for a moment, then said helplessly, "So, you don't plan to go to Qingzhou to stop Mu Dao Ren?"

Song Xuan shook his head. "Unless the imperial court issues a transfer order, I don't want to get involved in this mess. What if that Taoist Mu really succeeds in condensing the Three Innate Flowers and advances to the Three Flower Grandmaster level at a critical moment? If I go there, I'm asking for a beating!"

"Old Ye, haven't you been planning this plan all along? Why do you seem to be reluctant to see Mu Dao Ren and his men succeed?"

Ye Gucheng picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. "I originally had high hopes for this plan, but now, I suddenly don't want to do it anymore."

"Oh? Why is that?"

Ye Gucheng said seriously: "Master Mu, he is not worthy!"

"Ok?"

Ye Gucheng said again in a serious tone: “Throughout the ages, the Three Innate Flowers have always been the only ones who can succeed if they have great wisdom, great perseverance, and great fortune.

If Mu Dao Ren succeeds in this tricky way, I think he has tarnished the name of the Three Flower Grandmaster."

Song Xuan understood.

Simply put, although Mu Dao Ren is very famous, Ye Gucheng looks down on him and thinks that his status is not worthy of becoming the Grandmaster of Sanhua!

Song Xuan smiled.

Ye Gucheng is such a contradictory person.

He longed to seek opportunities and find a way to perfect the three flowers in the innate realm, but he was also too proud to look down on most people in the world, believing that they were unworthy.

"You are such an interesting person. If you think he is not worthy, then who is?"

Ye Gucheng stared at Song Xuan and said, "Brother Song is very powerful and unfathomable, but if my guess is correct, he should not be a Three Flowers Xiantian, right?"

Facing Ye Gucheng, Song Xuan had no intention of denying it and nodded directly in acknowledgment, "Not yet!"

"As expected!" Ye Gucheng seemed to have guessed this long ago and was not too surprised. Instead, he asked tentatively, "Since that's the case, Brother Song, why don't you go to Qingzhou, seize Taoist Mu's national destiny, and forge the three innate flowers in one fell swoop?"

Song Xuan chuckled and shook his head, "In this world, there is no such thing as free benefits. Wherever you get a great opportunity, you must give it back.

How can a country's destiny be taken so easily?

Besides, why should I rely on external forces to add unknown uncertainties to something I can cultivate with my own abilities?

I'm not afraid of karma with people, but if I create a great karma with the universe, that could be fatal!"

Chapter 171 If they cut off the dragon vein, I will definitely take action later!

Ye Gucheng was stunned. "A cause and effect relationship with the heaven and earth?"

"Haha, Old Ye, you don't think that severing a dragon vein in heaven and earth, thus lowering the overall structure of heaven and earth, will come without any cost, right?"

Song Xuan smiled and said, "Let me put it this way, Taoist Mu may succeed and rely on the national destiny to condense the three innate flowers, but his final outcome will inevitably be death.

With such a huge cause and effect between him and the heaven and earth, even if he becomes the Grandmaster of the Three Flowers, he will still die!

The only difference is how and where you die!"

Ye Gucheng was silent for a long time this time.

"Actually, the reason I came to you this time is to take you with me to Qingzhou to destroy Mu Daoren and put an end to their idea of ​​establishing a country."

Ye Gucheng walked to the door of the study, looked at the distant sky, and said sadly: "In my life, I have never been submissive to others, but when facing you, I can't even think of drawing my sword.

At that moment I knew that even if you were not born with the Three Flowers, you were already on the right path to condensing the Three Flowers.

Therefore, if there is someone in this world who can successfully cultivate the three innate flowers, I hope that person is you, and not some so-called Taoist Mu, or Taoist Li or Taoist Sun.

They don't deserve it!"

.....

After Ye Gucheng left, Song Qian walked into the study.

"Brother, is there a rebellion in Qingzhou?"

Song Xuan nodded, "I know that many forces in the world have long had the idea of ​​rebellion, and many people have been working hard for this, but I didn't expect that they would do it in this way!"

As he said this, he sneered, "Ignorance is truly fearless!"

Cutting off the dragon veins and reducing the world's dimension is such a stupid practice, but some people actually do it. Some of these people have begun to use any means necessary to establish a country, and some to increase their strength.

“Although it’s a bit short-sighted…” Victoria Song analyzed, “But I have to say that in theory their approach is still useful.

The court’s strongest weapon is its top-level military suppression.

After the dragon vein in Qingzhou was cut, martial arts masters could not enter, and the only people the court could send were innate warriors.

Although the innate warriors are strong, they are not yet able to form an army and confront the army head-on. They can be killed by piling up human lives.

The Qingzhou governor and the major aristocratic families have already made preparations for the rebellion, and the thing they lack most is probably manpower."

Song Xuan nodded, "The emperor may be in trouble this time.

The top warriors are unable to go in and suppress it, so they can only rely on innate warriors and the army to enter Qingzhou to quell the rebellion. To be honest, I am not optimistic about the court this time.

If nothing unexpected happened, since the governor of Qingzhou dared to rebel, he must have secretly built a lot of cannons and muskets.

These so-called technological products are like child's play in the eyes of the Grandmaster, and even more of a joke in front of the Grandmaster. But on the battlefield, for those below the Grandmaster level, they are deadly weapons that reap lives.

It was difficult for the imperial court to win on the front battlefield.

If things go well, Qingzhou might actually succeed in establishing a nation this time."

Victoria Song said, "This is not a bad thing. The emperor deserves it!"

Song Xuan smiled and said, "It seems that you have a lot of opinions about him."

"How can I not object?"

Song Qian snorted, "Don't think I'm stupid. We spent a billion taels of real money, not to mention promotions, but in the end we didn't even get any rewards, and we even had to temporarily suspend our work to avoid the limelight.

It would be strange if such an emperor who is incapable of taking responsibility could win the support of the people!

Also, when I was in the imperial capital, I heard rumors that our emperor had a complicated attitude towards the Xuanyi Guards. He needed them but was also wary of them. He was even secretly establishing other privileged organizations.

It's just right, it would be good to let Qingzhou make some commotion, so that he can understand whether the Xuanyi Guards are important or not!

This will prevent him from thinking that the world is peaceful and that the Xuanyi Guards are too powerful and are a threat to his imperial power."

Song Xuan smiled and said, "There's no need to be emotional. Our power doesn't come from him.

Actually, I understand him very well. It's not easy for him either.

The Great Zhou was not a normal dynasty, but a martial arts dynasty established through absolute military suppression, where the respect for strength had long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Unfortunately, the current emperor's cultivation is not high enough to intimidate the world, so he can only rely on the method of checks and balances to maintain the normal operation of the court.

If you use too much scheming, you will naturally lack courage."

After wandering around the martial arts world for these days, Song Xuan knew that the Great Zhou Dynasty was basically on the verge of collapse.

Under three hundred years of high-pressure rule, class contradictions have reached an irreconcilable level, and the independence of the states is just lacking a fuse.

If we want to change this situation, there is only one way, and that is to kill and implement top-down reforms.

In all nine provinces of the world, the powerful families should not be killed off completely, but at least half of them should be purged, and the cake should be redistributed to provide channels for the lower classes to rise.

But it is obvious that the current emperor does not have this kind of courage.

His low martial arts skills limited his vision and pattern, and also destined him to not become a man of great courage and determination.

When the contradictions are irreconcilable and the vested interests in the court do not want top-down reforms, the people below can only find ways to start their own businesses.

If the Qingzhou incident is delayed for a few years and cannot be resolved quickly, rebellions in various places will only occur one after another.

"Brother, should we intervene in the affairs of Qingzhou?"

"Let's wait and see how the court handles this. If they can't resolve it, that's when I'll step in!"

Victoria Song was surprised and said, "This doesn't seem like your style."

"There's no other way. I have to intervene!"
