Martial Arts: I am in the Ming Cult and I am building a dynasty

Whether it was the Blood Wolf God that appeared in the Battle of Taihu Lake, or the various methods displayed by the Zhenwu Emperor in the Battle of Beiliang, Yang Zhao, even though he had gathered the strength of the entire Song Dynasty, still had a very difficult time dealing with them.

But according to my grandfather, the number of immortals and gods who died in the Sui Dynasty was probably not just one or two.

Yang Zhao paused and said, "Grandfather, why did the Song Dynasty last for two hundred years..."

Yang Jian was stunned for a moment, and said, "You want to ask why no one dared to completely divide up the Song Dynasty two hundred years after Zhao Kuangyin's death, right?"

Yang Zhao nodded but said nothing.

Yang Jian's eyes seemed to be a little vague, and he said: "My dear grandson, that's because you have never seen the invincible Zhao Kuangyin in the past. What a vicious man he was. Everyone is afraid that Zhao Kuangyin might not be dead."

"The Northern Wei was once as powerful as it was. The Five Barbarians of Xianbei, the Yuwen Clan, the Yuan Clan, etc., all once dominated the country. But Zhao Kuangyin single-handedly destroyed 90% of their power."

"My dear grandson, remember what your grandfather said. Before you are absolutely sure of eradicating the root of the problem, do not make a complete enemy of those who do not know their depth. The waters of Kyushu are very deep."

Many things cannot be explained with words alone.

After teaching Yang Zhao a few words, Yang Jian quickly took Yang Zhao from the third palace and headed underground. It took them a full cup of tea to finally arrive at a huge underground palace.

"My dear grandson, today I will tell you what a real aristocratic family is."

"You and I, our ancestors, are all from the Hongnong Yang family branch. The Hongnong Yang family has existed since ancient times. In addition to the main ancestral land, there are four major direct lineages."

"The three palaces above our heads are the foundation that our grandfather brought from the Hongnong Yang family."

"The military puppets in the first palace are from the direct lineage of Yang Xi, one of the four branches of Hongnong. They once inherited one-fifth of the strongest military strategist in the pre-Qin period. Yang Su's family is from this branch."

"The historian's secret technique in the second palace comes from the direct line of Yang Chang, one of the four branches of Hongnong. The ancestor of this branch, Yang Chang, was once the son-in-law of the founder of the historian family. He may even have a rare copy of the "Records of the Grand Historian" in his hands. Six or seven out of ten schools of Tianji in the world all come from this branch."

"The Confucian heritage of the third palace comes from the direct lineage of Yang Zhen, one of the four branches of Hongnong. This branch is also the most widely dispersed branch, with branches in all nine provinces, and many important officials of various courts have been born. The saying that the Yang family in the world comes from Hongnong comes from this branch."

"And the old Yang family that our grandparents belong to is the direct descendant of Yang Bao, one of the four branches of Hongnong."

Having said that, Yang Jian paused for a moment, and at the same time, he took Yang Zhao through the underground palace and came to a secret room that was almost entirely made of fine steel.

In the center of this secret room, there is only an extremely simple altar.

There were not many things on the altar, only a very concise family tree and a precious ring emitting white light.

"Compared to the three branches of Yang Xi, Yang Chang, and Yang Zhen, our Yang Bao branch is not well-known."

“But at the same time, only you and I, our ancestors and grandchildren, have a trump card comparable to the main clan’s ancestral land.”

After arriving at the secret room.

Yang Jian's expression and attitude all became solemn and serious, but when he looked at the white ring on the altar, Yang Jian's eyes occasionally revealed a look of great grief and anger.

Chapter 503: Immortal White Jade Ring

The Hongnong Yang family, in addition to the main clan of the ancestor landlord, has four other direct lines, namely Yang Xi, Yang Chang, Yang Zhen and Yang Bao, as its roots.

Among them, the military strategist Yang Xi, the historian Yang Chang, and the Confucianist Yang Zhen were all very famous.

Only the Yang Bao lineage, various memories flashed through Yang Zhao's mind, but he could not find the slightest sense of existence.

But, in Yang Jian's words, the other three of the four Hongnong clans were not good enough, and only the Yang Bao clan of his own Yang family could be compared with the people of the ancestral main clan.

Yang Zhao looked at Yang Jian's confident face and felt highly suspicious.

Our ancestor Yang Bao didn't leave any legends or records. Could it be that our grandfather said this on purpose because his ancestors were not as good as the other three clans?

Yang Jian saw through Yang Zhao's thoughts at a glance and said, "My dear grandson, have you ever heard of the phrase tying a grass ring?"

Yang Zhao raised his eyebrows and said, "Of course I have heard of this. This saying comes from Zuo Zhuan..."

Yang Zhao stopped talking halfway, and looked at Yang Jian with eyes as bright as stars, and then looked at the jade ring on the altar that was shining with white light.

Then, Yang Zhao was somewhat shocked and asked, "Grandfather, you mean, this is the precious ring in the grass knot ring?"

The story of tying a grass knot and holding a ring in the mouth comes from two mythological stories in Zuo Zhuan.

Tying the grass knot is an allusion, and holding a ring in the mouth is another allusion.

Let’s not talk about the story of tying grass.

Just talking about the ring-holding, it is said that in the pre-Qin period, there was a man named Yang Bao. When he was 9 years old, he saw a yellow bird that was injured by an eagle and fell under a tree, trapped by ants.

Yang Bao was kind-hearted, so he took the yellow bird home, put it in a towel box, and fed it with yellow flowers every day.

A hundred days later, the yellow bird's wounds healed, its wings grew full, and it flew away.

That night, a boy in yellow came to Yang Bao to thank him and said, "I am the messenger of the Queen Mother of the West. I am very grateful for your rescue."

After that, the boy in yellow presented four white jade rings and continued, "It can bless your descendants to be among the three highest officials, to be honest in government, and to behave in the world as pure and flawless as these four jade rings."

Later, Yang Bao, starting with his son, had three officials in four generations, and was very prominent for the time.

If such an anecdote had occurred in the original history, it would not be impossible, but in this Kyushu world, many things in the anecdote contained common sense errors.

Now it is outrageous that Yang Jian suddenly produced such a white jade ring.

Yang Jian looked at Yang Zhao, who was shocked, and laughed. He said, "At the end of the pre-Qin period, there was a war that affected the entire Kyushu, causing the barbarians from the grasslands to invade Kyushu and become our great enemy. It also caused many classics and historical books to be completely destroyed, forming a historical gap."

"So there are some less rigorous parts in many legends, which can be ignored, but the essence will not change, that is, this white jade halo."

Yang Zhao opened and closed his mouth for a long while before he said, "Grandfather, do you mean that this thing is really a treasure sent by the messenger of the Queen Mother of the West?"

"If so, this thing can guarantee that the descendants will be among the three highest officials. This is a downgrade for our Yang family."

Yang Jian was the Emperor of Sui Dynasty.

Yang Zhao is also one of the two saints of the Song Dynasty, and is about to proclaim himself king and establish his own government.

If they really want their descendants to become the three highest officials in the court, then this thing is not really a good thing for the Yang family, and it even lowers their status.

Hearing Yang Zhao's joke, Yang Jian also smiled.

But soon, Yang Jian's expression became serious, and he said: "My dear grandson, please don't make trouble. In the Nine Provinces, many rumors cannot be believed lightly, but they cannot be disbelieved either."

"Whether this white jade ring came from the West Queen Mother's messenger is no longer verifiable, but what is certain is that it came from the hands of a true immortal from outside the domain. It is a true immortal treasure."

The Queen Mother of the West and the like, this deity has a very big name.

Even Yang Jian himself did not dare to guarantee whether his ancestors really had some connection with the messenger of the Queen Mother of the West, but with the background of the Yang family, they could still confirm that this white jade ring was indeed a fairy treasure.

It is not the kind of fairy treasure that the immortals on land have, but a real fairy treasure.

In other words, this thing is a level higher than the imperial soldiers in fantasy.

Listening to Yang Jian's words.

Yang Zhao was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Yang Jian very seriously.

Yang Jian looked at Yang Zhao, and said in a slightly heavy tone: "There are immortals in this world, real immortals in the mortal world, not those so-called immortal gods in the sky."

"In ancient times, many tombs of immortals from outside the domain fell into this world, and they are also called relics from outside the domain."

"The existence of immortals is the beginning of all Tao."

Yang Zhao smacked his lips, absorbing with some difficulty the information contained in Yang Jian's words, and then looked at the white jade ring and said, "So this fairy treasure is the confidence that my grandfather used to establish the Great Sui Dynasty?"

Yang Jian nodded, a trace of grief and anger flashed in his eyes, and he said: "Yes, this is the confidence that enabled my grandfather to suppress the aristocratic families in the chaotic times and establish the Sui Dynasty. At the same time, this is also my grandfather's sorrow."

Yang Zhao was somewhat curious and asked, "Grandfather, what do you mean by that?"

Yang Jian's eyes moved over the jade ring, with a hint of entanglement and hatred, and said: "Since ancient times, magic weapons have spirits, and the existence of fairy treasures is more powerful and magical than magic weapons."

"When my grandfather held this magical treasure and was still in the realm of heaven and man, he could suppress the powerful martial saints. If there were no tyrannical force to suppress them, how could they stay under their control for long?"

"With the help of the immortal treasure, and at the same time when Zhao Kuangyin swept across the Five Barbarians and successively broke the Dao hearts of many powerful forces such as Ran Min, the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the Southern Dynasty, my grandfather had the opportunity to gain the support of the martial arts sects and aristocratic families and establish the Great Sui Dynasty. But the immortal treasure made him successful, and it also ruined him."

"As a mortal, if you want to activate a fairy treasure, you must pay a huge price..."

The divine weapons have spirits, while the evil weapons devour their masters.

The world's top mortal weapons are like this, let alone immortal treasures.

If you want to gain something, you will inevitably lose something.

It is obvious that the price Yang Jian paid for using the magic treasure was absolutely terrifying. Otherwise, someone like Yang Jian, who was willing to give up even the throne, would never show such an expression.

However, Yang Zhao was not in a position to ask about the pain points of his elders.

For quite a while.

Yang Jian pulled his will out of the painful tangle and said with a wry smile: "The characteristics of this item are exactly the opposite of what is rumored. If you don't have the ability to suppress it, using this item will damage the luck of future generations."

"Your grandfather and grandmother had five sons and five daughters, but all met with misfortune when they were young. Only one son, Ah-Qing, survived. I'm afraid he didn't have a good ending..."

Chapter 504: The Opportunity for the Promotion of the Imperial World-Suppressing Bell

Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo are Yang Zhao's grandparents. They are also a very strange couple in the entire era.

In this era and world where men dominate everything, women are often just accessories.

But Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo adhered to monogamy and were truly in love for most of their lives.

If you ask whether Yang Jian ever had a time when his thoughts wandered, he did have one.

But as long as Dugu Jialuo glared at him, Yang Jian's legs would become as weak as noodles and he dared not resist at all. Sometimes he would even be so angry with Dugu Jialuo that he ran away from home. The civil and military ministers had to go outside to find him and persuade him to return to the palace.

In this era, even a woodcutter would have to marry an extra concubine if he chopped two more pounds of firewood.

This one-to-one love between Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo is really close to a miracle.

It’s about the various compromises that Yang Jian made with Dugu Jialuo.

There must be an element of love involved, but there is also some guilt.

As the emperor of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian and Dugu Qieluo had five sons and five daughters. But as time passed, Yang Jian and Dugu Qieluo now only had one son, Yang Guang.

And just as Yang Jian said, even Yang Guang would most likely not have a good ending.

The emperor's extinction does not mean that he has no descendants, it just means that all his sons and daughters have died.

This was undoubtedly an unspeakable blow to Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo, who both adhered to monogamy. Especially for Dugu Jialuo, Yang Jian felt extremely guilty.

And now, looking at the fairy treasure white jade ring that is emitting bright white light.

Yang Zhao finally understood why Yang Jian was so servile in front of Dugu Jialuo.

Yang Jian established the Sui Dynasty with the help of the magical white jade ring, but he also sacrificed the fortune of his own children in advance, causing his children to die young, die suddenly, or die unjustly, and not have a good end.

For a moment, Yang Zhao didn't know how to comfort his grandfather.

After a pause, Yang Zhao could only shift his attention to the fairy treasure white jade ring and said, "Grandfather, what power does this white jade ring have that allowed grandfather and grandmother to build such a huge dynasty with their own strength?"

After hearing Yang Zhao's words, Yang Jian also restrained his emotions and said, "This treasure is magical. Once it is sacrificed, it can emit a hazy white light, and can collect all kinds of weapons, rare treasures, and true energy. It can protect you from being invincible. It can also be divided into thousands and controlled to any size as you wish. It is indestructible. Even a strong man at the peak of the martial arts saint will not be able to resist once he is trapped by it. It can also leave restrictions and control others."

The fairy treasure is magical and can be used to protect yourself, defeat enemies, attack tough targets, trap enemies, etc. It is very useful.

In Yang Jian's words, even though the Yang family had inherited this treasure for nearly a thousand years, they still had not been able to completely refine it, and could only use it as a sacrifice by their descendants' good fortune.

Therefore, even Yang Jian himself did not know the full effects of this magical white jade ring.

In short, as long as you have this treasure in your hand, you can say that even the Martial Saint cannot defeat you and even the immortals on earth are unstoppable.

If the cost of using it was not too high, Yang Jian would be able to sweep across the entire Sui Dynasty with this treasure alone, all the so-called martial arts sects and aristocratic families.

At the same time, it is also because the cost of using this treasure is too high.

Yang Jian was afraid that after this treasure fell into Yang Guang's hands, the latter would use it without restraint, which might lead to the extinction of the Yang family. Therefore, when Yang Guang ascended the throne, he did not hand over the real heritage of the Yang family to the other party.

Facts have proved that Yang Jian's decision to make this move was correct.

Judging from the character and choices Yang Guang had made since he ascended the throne, if the White Jade Ring were really handed over to Yang Guang, the entire Sui Dynasty would probably not even last these seven short years and would completely fall apart.

After Yang Jian finished introducing the white jade ring.

Yang Zhao was also curious about the white jade ring. He quickly came to the altar, paused for a moment, and then decisively took the white jade ring in his hand.

hum!

The fairy treasure was magical. After the white jade ring fell into Yang Zhao’s hands, it seemed to quickly sense the arrival of its new owner. It emitted a buzzing sound and emitted layers of white light, enveloping Yang Zhao completely.

Boom!

When the fairy light on the white jade ring enveloped Yang Zhao's body, the Huangji Zhenshi Bell in Yang Zhao's body began to ring without being called, and actually broke away from Yang Zhao's body on its own, as if it was extremely angry, emitting rolling bell waves and five-colored light, and was in a stalemate with the white jade ring.

During the confrontation between the White Jade Ring and the Huangji Zhenshi Bell, Yang Zhao could still feel that the Nine Void Swords in his dantian were like a frightened child, hiding deep in his dantian and trembling.

The magic weapons have spirits, the magic treasures have spirits.

This was something Yang Zhao had known for a long time, but even Yang Zhao himself had not expected that the Huangji Zhenshi Bell in his hand would be so domineering.
