"In the beginning, my purpose in practicing martial arts and swordsmanship was just to protect myself in a world full of lunatics and ignorance, so as not to be deprived of the right to enjoy the miracle of life by others, in the hope of breaking the mediocrity and repetition of life."
Looking out along Zhao Qing's gaze, he didn't find anything special. Fu Cailin was slightly startled. He was not surprised by her answer and continued:
"While I was thinking about this, I crawled out of the quagmire of hatred for sin and struggle for power, and clearly saw all the ugly and meaningless stupid behaviors that exist among people; looking at how they constitute the dark side of people,
How to ruin the joy of life.”
"War, a war that destroys countless lives, is what I cannot understand and hate the most... Fu Cailin can't understand that breaking the peaceful and happy situation may have high political significance for ordinary mediocre people, but when it comes to you and me
At this level, can’t you still see through the illusion?”
Fu Cailin, who had no confidence in resisting Zhao Qing in terms of force and national military strength. After meeting her by chance, Fu Cailin, who cared about Goguryeo, decisively chose the method of persuading with words, hoping that the other party would agree with his ideas and put down his hostility towards his country.
.
"There is reality within the imaginary, and there is emptiness within the reality. The perspective of looking at things should not be too single. Sometimes you have to change it." Led by Fu Cailin's words to conclude that the war is meaningless, Zhao Qingyi only slightly
He smiled and replied:
"Master Fu just wants me to stop my strategy of external expansion, at least not to let the country of Korea fall into the flames of war like Yang Guang's three expeditions, which caused heavy losses in population and wealth, and even the crisis of national subjugation and annihilation."
"Speaking of which, I would like to ask the master a question: What is the relationship between the master and other Goguryeo people? Why must he take risks to stand up for them? Is he also not seeing through the illusion in his heart? Or is there another reasonable explanation?
Woolen cloth?"
"In other words, what kind of 'benefits' did Goguryeo give you to make you think like this? It can't be without reason."
"Another explanation? What 'benefits' were given?" After hearing Zhao Qing's remarks that seemed to directly deny or even belittle patriotism, Fu Cailin did not get angry like ordinary Goguryeo people, but thought calmly.
The meaning of it was quickly understood vaguely.
He and Bixuan were born in the Ashina clan of the Turkic royal family, and were respected as saints by the entire Eastern Turks. Relying on the superior martial arts of the tribe and communicating with the secret tribe in the name of Turks, he created the "Mysterious Man's martial arts" which is quite similar.
"Yanyang Dafa", therefore naturally assumes the important responsibilities of the country and the nation in a very different way;
Fu Cailin's martial arts was created by his travels around the world and his expertise. He was originally a commoner in Goguryeo. He even had no reputation before Yang Guang attacked Goguryeo. Because he organized his own rebel army to fight against the Sui army and defeated Yang Guang's army one after another, he became famous all over the world.
, is respected as the spiritual leader and national hero of his country.
The reason why he stepped forward in the face of crisis for his family and country after becoming a master of martial arts, and took the initiative to shoulder the heavy burden that should have been solved by the King of Goguryeo, was naturally due to his love for the Goguryeo nation, and was not mixed with any factors of fame and fortune.
The purpose is very pure.
"The sense of belonging and identity that you have for the people of your country because of your bloodline, and the belief that the people of your country have made a significant contribution to social stability, and this environment is subtly conducive to your study of martial arts and the meaning of life, should be
The reason why you are willing to sacrifice for the country."
"So, what you want to protect is not the upper-class nobles represented by the King of Korea, but the vast majority of the country, ordinary people like you who have no power."
"The Book of Rites? Liyun" says: 'In the course of the Great Dao, the world is for the common good, selecting the worthy and capable, trustworthy and cultivating harmony. Therefore, people do not only kiss their relatives, nor do they only have sons and daughters, so that they can end their old age and be useful.
, the young have their own merits, those who are modest, widowed, lonely, alone, disabled and sick are all provided with support, men have their share, and women have their own home.'"
""Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals" also says: "The world is not owned by one person, but belongs to everyone in the world. The harmony of yin and yang does not exist in the same category; the dew and seasonal rain do not privately own anything; the Lord of all peoples,
No one else.'"
"If there is no concept of 'the world is for the common good', ordinary people other than meat eaters only need to care about their own interests. How can they worry about the country and the people?"
Using advanced concepts, he quickly pointed out the essence of Fu Cailin's "patriotism". Zhao Qing's expression was leisurely, her tone was steady and firm, and she naturally exuded a convincing aura. Her eyes were bright and deep, and she seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.
, people cannot resist her logic.
"...So what your Majesty means is that Anguo is different from the Sui Dynasty. Even if a large army is sent to 'take over' our Goguryeo, it will not affect the ordinary people in the middle and lower classes?" Fu Cailin was stunned, and a flash of light flashed across his face.
There was a trace of confusion, and suddenly I felt that I seemed to have a tendency to be persuaded by the other party.
Knowing the meaning of "the people of the world belong to the world", Fu Cailin finally understood the reason why Zhao Qing, as a martial arts master, "wasted" his time to assume the position of emperor, understood the other party's true intention to take the people of the world at heart, and also vaguely realized
Entering a deeper realm of life.
Zhao Qing nodded slightly, her tone calm, as if to appease Fu Cailin's doubts: "In fact, for most civilians, Anguo's upcoming military liberation operation is not only harmless, but also beneficial."
"Breaking Goguryeo's long-standing strict hierarchical system will undoubtedly increase the opportunities for ordinary people to rise and increase the vitality of society. The basic living standards will also become better than before with the support of new technologies, and everyone will live and work in peace and contentment..."
They walked slowly in the direction they had just looked at, and Zhao Qing began to explain in detail: "As for the upper-class nobles and officials who voluntarily accepted our military takeover, such as King Jinzhenheung of Silla who recently surrendered to China, the Japanese
The descendants of the Eastern Han Dynasty family who have just recognized their ancestors and returned to their clan, and the Suigu Empress over there, can also retain their original living conditions and benefits."
Zhao Qing's words were full of temptation, and her tone was soft, making it impossible to refuse her proposal: "Instead of being a subjugated slave who can only enjoy one or two more years, why not live in a better condition and don't have to worry about the scourge of foreign enemies?
How about a rich man who can ensure a long life with his superb health regimen?"
There are currently three countries on the Korean peninsula, namely Goryeo, Silla and Baekje. Since Yang Guang's three defeats in Goryeo, the countries on the peninsula have launched volatile and complex struggles among themselves;
Among them, Silla has always been close to China, and its power has continued to expand recently. It has been in constant conflict with Gesuwen, the great chieftain in the region east of Goryeo. Since Fu Cailin, who was worshiped as a god throughout the peninsula, did not have much time to live, after his death, the relationship between the Three Kingdoms
They will undoubtedly start a war with each other.
And by directly "liberating" the Three Kingdoms through external intervention, the war that would have spread to every inch of land on the peninsula and mainland, the situation that Fu Cailin least wanted to see, will undoubtedly not occur, so that he no longer has to worry about this.
class crisis.
"With the threat of destroying the Eastern and Western Turks in a short period of time, coupled with such favorable conditions, I'm afraid few people will refuse to agree." Fu Cailin looked at Zhao Qing quietly and couldn't help but sigh, feeling the meaning in her words.
Sincere, I began to believe that she was not deceiving.
As both the top swordsmen in the world, the two have a tacit understanding with each other. Because they have a deep spiritual connection with the sword and have "the same friend", they are naturally closer than those who major in other weapons.
You are also better able to understand what the other person means.
After pondering for a moment, the Yijian master who originally planned to persuade Zhao Qing to give up the war finally decided to agree to the conditions of peaceful liberation. After returning to China, he would "persuade" King Gao Jianwu of Goryeo to accept the best result at present.
Seeing that Fu Cailin was so "aware" and chose the class he represented rather than stubbornly becoming an enemy, Zhao Qing smiled lightly, stretched out his fingers and pointed forward several times, as if he had broken through a cage that he didn't know when.
The canopy is used as a covering film, which changes the scene in front of you instantly.
Just like a stone passing through the water, it stirs up ripples on the water. The ripples are centered on the point where the stone falls into the water, and spread to all directions. In an instant, the whole world begins to bend, rotate, wave, and vibrate, as if
A twisted and dreamy picture unfolded before their eyes.
The originally blue sky seemed to be being kneaded and twisted by a pair of invisible hands. The space seemed to be like a flowing liquid. Everything was swaying and rotating in it. The ruins, battlefield ruins, wilderness hills, everything was dissolving.
, turned into countless fragments, like grains of sand scattered in the wind.
With the light and shadow jumping around, the environment that seemed to have suddenly collapsed quickly recovered. It looked the same as before, except that on the top of a hill about five miles away, three more forbidding buildings appeared at some point.
The ancient stone palace is the external entrance to the Temple of War, Jingyan Palace.
The main hall, Yanxiang Hall, is located in the center, with two side halls on the left and right, each connected by a corridor about 20 feet long, like wild goose wings flying out from both sides; the two auxiliary halls are the left Yanxiang Hall and the right Yanxiang Hall.
They are all built with some kind of material that is almost marble.
Although the temple is majestic and majestic, standing majestically under the sunlight, it gives people a feeling that it is not out of place, as if water droplets merge into the sea and are embedded in the most natural order of heaven and earth. According to the order of heaven, earth and man,
The Tao keeps moving.
He had never heard of the rumors about the Temple of War and the Jingyan Palace before. Fu Cailin couldn't help but feel shocked when he witnessed this magical scene. Then his eyes lit up with unprecedented brilliance, and he understood what Zhao Qing meant when he said that he had achieved enlightenment somewhere.
He also knew that his understanding of heaven and earth in the past was still too shallow.
Immediately afterwards, something that shocked Fu Cailin even more happened suddenly in the blink of an eye. The torrent of extremely majestic heaven and earth essence began to gather a few feet away from Zhao Qing, turning into a chaotic essence.
The air vortex emitted a dazzling light from within.
In the hazy light, as a large amount of heaven and earth essence condensed, a white skeleton gradually appeared. Every joint was rigorous and perfect, as if it was a work carefully carved by God. The skeleton slowly became transparent, and then began to appear.
Faint red light.
Then, eleven dark spirits quickly threw themselves into it. As if the wind was blowing, the muscles on the skeleton began to grow. Silk-like smooth skin gradually covered the bones. As the muscles squirmed, the skeleton began to breathe life.
;
Then there is the flow of blood, which is like bright red streams, rushing happily in the meridians and blood vessels. Every drop of blood is full of vitality, nourishing the muscles and giving the skin a rosy luster.
Finally, there is the formation of organs. The brain, heart, lungs, liver, kidneys and other organs grow one by one. Each has its own unique function, but it perfectly cooperates with each other. Everything is completed in an instant, as if the long development time is compressed into
This short moment.
In the center of the vortex, which is filled with chaotic air and cannot be observed by the outside world, floats a girl who looks exactly like Zhao Qing. Her face is soft and delicate, but there is a hint of fierce power, and her hair is like the trajectory of stars in the night sky.
, soft and shiny, rolling like water, flowing on the white nape;
When the girl's long eyelashes trembled slightly and she opened her somewhat dazed eyes, everything around her reflected her innate cold temperament. Her eyes, as bright as stars, quickly became deep and shimmering, revealing
The light of perseverance and wisdom.
But this is not the end, because a large number of weeds that were also involved in the chaotic vortex were dismembered and transformed into tiny and invisible fiber bundles, which were woven, dyed, and shaped at an astonishing high speed, turning into a simple piece of clothing.
To be continued...
