Chapter 745 The Death of Yang Guang (Part 2)
If Shen Fei saw Xu Ziling's state at this time, he would probably be surprised. Xu Ziling's fit with the Tao Te Ching was something Shen Fei had not expected. Or strictly speaking, it should be Xu Ziling, the Changsheng Jue, and the Tao Te Ching that made Xu Ziling's current situation.
Xu Ziling's personality is very consistent with the Taoist thought. Later, he was fooled by Master Feixuan to become a monk guardian, and many of them were also influenced by the Buddhist concept of coming into the world.
The development and growth of Buddhism is naturally not without merit. In terms of personal virtue, the so-called four great monks are better than most people in personal cultivation. However, if personal cultivation is against the overall interests of Buddhism, even the four great monks cannot be exempted.
However, this time Xu Ziling was intercepted by Shen Fei, who taught him the true meaning of the Tao Te Ching of the Taoist Tianzong. For Xu Ziling, this is an adventure comparable to his getting the Changsheng Jue.
Of course, Xu Ziling's current situation is also related to his concentration on studying the Tao Te Ching. To be frank, even Shen Fei can't compare with him in this regard.
But this is normal. After all, Shen Fei has too many things. He only recites the Tao Te Ching once a month. But it's different for Xu Ziling. He was born in a gangster family. Although he is self-taught and knows a lot of words, he has never read books systematically. The Tao Te Ching can be said to be the first book that Xu Ziling owns completely.
In the absence of other things to do, Xu Ziling will naturally focus on the Tao Te Ching. This is a feudal society. Even if paper has been invented, there is no movable type printing. In fact, strictly speaking, let alone movable type printing, there is no woodblock printing.
The circulation of books is mainly based on hand copying. In this case, the literacy rate is very low. Although the value of a book in this era cannot be compared with the era of the pre-Qin era when a book can be regarded as a family heirloom, it is also expensive.
Looking at the original work, although Xu Ziling has learned a lot along the way, he has never studied systematically, and it is just a few words, otherwise he would not be fooled by Shi Feixuan.
Of course, Shen Fei is not aware that Shuanglong is about to come to Pegasus Ranch. At this time, he is just studying the history of this era, not the history of the era of the legend of the borderland, but the history of the Three Kingdoms.
The reason for the study is that Shen Fei is curious about the strength of the Five Tiger Generals of this era, as well as Lu Bu and others, and the situation of Zhuge Liang, Zuo Ci, Yu Ji and others.
This is a semi-high-level martial arts world. The Three Kingdoms must be different from the Three Kingdoms he knows. In fact, the Three Kingdoms known to Shen Fei have several different worlds.
For example, in the Three Kingdoms in Fengyun, Guan Erye has the love of the city that destroys the city with one blow and shatters the void. There is also the Three Kingdoms under One Person. Zhuge Wuhou wants to change his fate at the cost of giving up his ascension.
By analogy, the Three Kingdoms in this world are definitely extraordinary. Just look at the first generation of the evil emperor Xie Bo. He was able to achieve this achievement only because he accidentally got the original evil emperor's relic from an ancient tomb in Qi State. You can understand a lot of things.
After investigating, it was discovered that the so-called oldest history of the Demon Sect can be traced back to the era of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. The martial arts of the God of War Chi You is the beginning of the Demon Sect's mind method.
"God of War Atlas."
Putting down the book that recorded the secrets he got from Lu Miaozi, Shen Fei sighed softly. He studied this history not only because of curiosity, but also because he wanted to see if he could find the Jingyan Palace where the God of War Atlas was located.
After some research, the location of the Jingyan Palace was not found, but he also found something that surprised him, that is, the source of martial arts in this world seemed to all start from the God of War Atlas.
The so-called four great books are listed side by side, which is a complete joke. Comparing the martial arts deduced from the War God Atlas with the original War God Atlas, and it may even be just one of the pictures in the War God Atlas, what else is it if not a joke.
"Was Jingyan Palace built by Guangchengzi? I remember that it seems that Guangchengzi also practiced the War God Atlas in the Broken Void and successfully ascended to heaven. The War God Atlas was left by the real War God."
"Forget it, after unifying the world, let's have people slowly investigate this matter."
After finding that there is really no information about Jingyan Palace now, Shen Fei temporarily put it aside. Since the Jingyan Palace in Fu Yu Fan Yun can be born and known by many people, there must be relevant records left. As long as he controls the world, countless people will do this with one order.
Just like Yang Guang, even when he lost power, he can still find the Changsheng Jue with one order.
"It's really lively here, Li Xiuning, Li Tianfan."
Shen Fei, who stayed in Lu Miaozi's attic, was naturally very clear about what happened at Pegasus Ranch. After Lu Miaozi stood on his side, Shang Xiuxun's Pegasus Ranch had no choice but to stand on her side, both publicly and privately.
So Li Xiuning, who represented the Li family and Li Tianfan, the son of Li Mi, who represented Li Mi, told Shen Fei everything in detail. Even though Shang Xiuxun had a good relationship with Li Xiuning, facing the issue of the survival of Pegasus Ranch, Shang Xiuxun had no other choice.
Shang Xiuxun, who knew Shen Fei's strength, knew very well that he would be the one to unify the world in the end, and the only difference was how to unify the world.
As for Shang Xiuxun's knowledge, Shen Fei naturally did not make it difficult for her and asked her to agree to the deal with Li Clan and Li Mi. At this stage, Pegasus Ranch has offended these two forces. For Pegasus Ranch, There is no need for this.
"Commander Shen, there are so many places in life where we don't meet each other."
"It turns out to be Mr. Shen. It seems that Mr. Shen is also eyeing Pegasus Ranch."
Shen Luoyan, who had just entered the room, heard the sudden sound coming from the room. He immediately held the dagger at his waist with vigilance. Then after seeing that it was Shen Fei, he breathed a sigh of relief and put down the palm on the hilt of the sword. .
"Commander Shen, it seems that you have been having a bad time recently." Although Shen Luoyan is still bright and charming at this time, if you look closely at her expression, you will find that she feels haggard now.
"All this is not thanks to Mr. Sir." When mentioning this, Shen Luoyan couldn't help but snorted coldly.
The Wagang Army was originally in a good situation, but ended up falling short because of one word. Now Shen Fei is undoubtedly the person Li Mi hates the most.
"Instead of blaming me, it's better to say that Li Mi has no tolerance for others. Otherwise, why would we be in a stalemate with Zhai Rang until now?"
Although the Wagang Army was founded by Zhai Rang, it has to be said that Zhai Rang allowed this person to be a tycoon, but letting him fight for world supremacy was worse than Du Fuwei.
The development of the Wagang Army was very unfavorable at the beginning. It was not until Li Mi joined that it slowly expanded. From this aspect, Li Mi was indispensable.
It's just that Li Mi is very powerful, but he can only fight against the odds. Once he encounters a setback, Li Mi's character is his biggest weakness.
Li Mi's favorite thing to do is to steal chestnuts from the fire, just like he stole the Wagang Army from Zhai Rang. In the original book, after the defeat in the Battle of Luoyang, he did not want to regroup, but instead defected to the Li clan, hoping to repeat the Wagang Army. Don't even think about it, is Li Clan comparable to Wagang Village?
In the original work, after Li Mi failed in the Battle of Luoyang, if he had not lost confidence and returned to his base, he would have had a chance to regroup. After all, his base had not been lost at that time, and he had famous generals like Xu Shiji and Shen Luoyan under his command. Waiting for the loyal men, Li Mi did not believe Shen Luoyan, Xu Shiji and the others, but instead believed in Wang Bodang, and they were betrayed.
"Secret Duke."
Hearing Li Mi, Shen Luoyan couldn't help but sigh softly. Before the Wagang army split, Li Mi was invincible and high-spirited. However, after the split, Li Mi made many mistakes in decision-making and failed to defeat Zhai Rang's part in the first time. Wagang Army.
One of the plans is what Shen Luoyan came up with, which is to recruit Zhai Rang's subordinates and promise huge profits. After all, most of the Wagang Army's subordinates are for a better future. Following Li Mi is obviously more beneficial than Zhai Rang. future.
In the end, Li Mi refused. Although Li Mi gave Shen Luoyan a reason at the time, Shen Luoyan knew very well that this was because Li Mi didn't trust her very much, so that later on, his power under Li Mi became smaller and smaller. People who had the same experience as him And Xu Shiji.
On the contrary, Wang Bodang, Zu Junyan, Pei Renji and others were reused because of their popularity.
"It seems that you are not doing well under Li Mi. Do you want to come here? Now I have territory." Shen Fei said as he took out Yang Guang's imperial edict and handed it to Shen Luoyan.
"General Manager of Luoyang, you." The contents of the imperial edict made Shen Luoyan look at Shen Fei with a complex expression. Even when the Wagang Army was at its strongest, it was far from the position of the General Manager of Luoyang. Otherwise, Song Clan and Li Mi The conditions for marriage will not be after Luoyang is captured.
In the two places of Luoyang and Chang'an, as long as you occupy one place, your chance of conquering the world will be far greater than others, so Wang Shichong is really arrogant.
"There is a shortage of people under my command right now. Come over here and take your pick of positions." Shen Fei promised directly after taking back the imperial edict.
"Is that so? What if I want to lead the army alone?" Even Shen Luoyan couldn't help but feel a little moved at this moment.
"Of course there is no problem. I can promise you here that whether you join the army or politics, everything you gain will not disappear after the world is unified. As long as you have the ability, it doesn't matter even if you stand directly in the court. In other words, you will be the first woman to stand in court."
No matter how talented Shen Luoyan is and how great his achievements were during the founding of the country, once the country is unified, he will never have the opportunity to appear in the court openly.
Li Xiuning is powerful enough, a fighter among princesses, and Niangziguan appears because of her. But in the end, this is a world where men are in power. Women may be able to control it behind the scenes, but if they want to be aboveboard, wait until Wu Zhao appears.
"Thank you sir for your kindness. Luoyan is grateful. Please allow Luoyan to think about it." Whether Shen Fei's words were pretentious or not, it was enough to make Shen Luoyan very excited.
"Whatever you want, I can promise you that I will always have a place for you here. Okay, let's not talk about these questions for now. I am curious about why Li Mi asked you to come to Pegasus Ranch. Is he trying to get Pegasus Ranch's attention? Does he have this spare power now?"
Shen Fei understood Shen Luoyan's hesitation very well and did not rush her. However, he was very curious about Shen Luoyan's appearance here. In any case, Shen Luoyan was a strategist-type talent. If he was just buying horses, he would not do it at all. She needs to take action.
Especially now that Li Mi's power is much worse than in the original work. In this case, he can't hold on to Pegasus Ranch even if he gets it.
Not to mention that if the plan fails and offends Pegasus Ranch, it will be a disaster for Li Mi now.
"We just came here to buy horses." Shen Luoyan said slowly.
"Just buying horses, do you think I'm a fool?" Shen Fei sneered, and then continued: "What's the matter with the four bandits outside gathering? Don't you think it's too coincidental that they gathered at the time? Li Mi is greedy, but I'm curious, why does he think he can control Pegasus Ranch, or are you here for Li Xiuning? No, Li Mi doesn't have that strength now, unless he gets external help."
"It can't be the Song clan, they have a good relationship with Pegasus Ranch, and they won't be the ones who do such a thing, and there are not many forces in the world that dare to take action against the Li clan. I understand, I didn't expect that Li Mi would actually defect to the Demon Sect."
Shen Fei's words made Shen Luoyan's face change slightly, and then immediately returned to his previous expression, but this has attracted Shen Fei's attention.
"Give up. With me here, no matter what your plan is, it will not succeed." Shen Fei said and left Shen Luoyan's room.
Shen Fei didn't care whether Shen Luoyan listened to his advice and gave up. If it wasn't for finding the traitor in Pegasus Ranch, he would have dealt with Xiang Batian, who left no grass, Fang Jianding, Jiao Tu Qianli Yu Maozao, and Cao Yinglong, who cried like ghosts.
"Brother Shen."
"You really came."
Two days later, seeing Shuanglong appearing in Lu Miaozi's attic, Shen Fei couldn't help but smile and shook his head. Just like the original book, Shuanglong entered Pegasus Ranch as a chef, and the food he used was made for them when Shen Fei was teaching them before.
Later, when Kou Zhong was exploring the terrain of Pegasus Ranch, he accidentally discovered the attic in the back mountain, and then was discovered by Lu Miaozi.
"You came at the right time. A battle is about to happen here." Since Shuanglong, the tool man, appeared, Shen Fei naturally would not let them idle.
After hearing that it was to deal with the four major bandits, Shuanglong immediately expressed his obligation.
It takes time for the four bandits to gather. They have been at peace for the past few days. However, there is nothing happening in the Pegasus Ranch for the time being, but the outside world has turned upside down.
Because Yang Guang's imperial edict has spread all over the world, all the temples in Yangzhou have been cleared out. The figures announced have made everyone who heard the figures look sideways, and the Buddhists are terrified because the amount is too large.
As the saying goes, wealth should not be exposed, let alone an image of a poor monk, poverty, and emptiness. As the news spread all over the world, in a very short time, the number of people worshiping Buddha directly dropped by nearly half, and many people changed their attitude towards Buddhism.
Such a situation made many Buddhist monks spit out a mouthful of blood involuntarily and shouted similar words.
"Yang Guang, so cruel."
"Yang Guang, how dare he?" In the unknown Cihang Jingzhai, Fan Qinghui, who received the information, also spit out a mouthful of blood involuntarily.
