Chapter 1704 Although everything in the world is like a chess game, dont think that everyone else is the winner.
Jiang Wang looked at Ruan Yuan in surprise.
In the oncoming sky wind, Ruan Yang asked quietly: "Do you think Huo Shiji is really dead?"
After Jiang Wang thought carefully, he replied: "As far as I know, yes. And Pavilion Master Si, Dean Chen and Master Wu also think so...Why do you ask that?"
"If there are no other problems with the Blood River Sect, the Blood River Sect really wants to welcome the champion, and it doesn't involve anything else. Kou Xuejiao really respects Huo Shiji's last wish... It is about the inheritance of the Blood River Sect for thousands of years, why should she
Respect Huo Shi and the thoughts he occasionally mentioned during his lifetime?"
Jiang Wang thought for a while: "Are you trying to say that she was instructed by Huo Shiji?"
Ruan Yuan said: "This is just a possibility I guess. But regarding the vital interests and the future of the Blood River Sect, the last wishes of the deceased will never be more influential than the wishes of the living."
"But why?" Jiang Wang was puzzled: "He is the leader of the Blood River Sect and is at the top of the world. Why would he fake his death? Why is this necessary?"
"Xu Mingsong spied on the path of expansion, causing disaster and turmoil, and causing the evil ancestor Bodhi to be born early. Huo Shiji has been trying to hide the truth, but finally he couldn't hide it anymore. He was awakened by Peng Chongjian, the real man who moved mountains, and heroically filled the sea with his body...
This is indeed a very logical thing, and it has also been witnessed by those true monarchs." Ruan Yang shook his head: "Even I can't think of any problems in it. Maybe there is no problem at all.
"
"But." He said but.
"As far as Huo Shiji himself is concerned, it is indeed necessary for him to fake his death. Because this is the only way to get rid of the control of our Qi State."
"Get rid of... our... Qi's... control?" Jiang Wang was completely confused.
How come Huo Shiji, the mighty True Lord of Blood River, has always been controlled by Qi?
In the entire Qi-Xia war, unless Jing Guo really sent out strong troops to attack Qi Tianzi, who vowed to wear armor himself, otherwise, how could Xia Guo have any hope?
Even if Jing State did send troops that time, Qi State still had great hope that it could withstand Jing State's offensive and defeat Xia State - if Blood River True Lord Huo Shiji was really controlled by Qi State,
Not just if a transaction is made.
Even in the current period of the Governor-General's Office of Southern Xia, Jiange is still proudly independent there, and Liang Guo is still grinning. Why is it necessary?
Facing Jiang Wang's shock, Ruan Yang said slowly: "You have been to the Changluo Caves. You should know that the layout there is a legacy from the time of Emperor Xia Xiang."
Jiang Wang nodded.
Ruan Yuan said in a manly voice: "First of all, you need to know one thing. When the Changluo Jue Formation was in the hands of Emperor Xia Xiang, and later in the hands of Si Jiao and others, its power was completely different. Emperor Xia Xiang had already recognized it back then.
Knowing that the situation is not optimistic for the Xia State, we have worked hard to make this move, hoping to use the Changluo Jue Formation to force us back. We use the threat of mutual death to achieve the effect of forcing peace."
He asked: "You personally suppressed the disaster in Changluo Cave. Do you think that the level of disaster you felt could threaten His Majesty, who was the commander of the expedition?"
Thinking of the dazzling names in the first Qi-Xia war. Not to mention the Emperor of Qi, there were also Duke Loulan, Grand Marshal Jiang Mengxiong, Prime Minister Yan Ping, Ruan Yuan and Ruan Jianzheng in front of me...
When that war began, Chu Liang, the fierce butcher of Chongxuan, was just an inconspicuous branch general of the Chongxuan family. Yang Jiande, the last leader of the Yang Kingdom, was just a young general who participated in the war under an alias.
Based on the scale of the disaster he felt in the Changluo Caves, it could at most overturn the Jiangyin Plain and destroy the main force of the Qi army at that time, but it would not impact the entire Xia Kingdom, making the Emperor of Qi feel the same in the first Qi-Xia War.
The threat of death together.
"It shouldn't be enough." Jiang Wang's tone was a bit harsh.
The Qi-Xia struggle for hegemony back then was such a glorious period of history. Although it was interrupted by Jing Guo's strong intervention, the brilliance that the Qi-Xia two sides burst out in this war for hegemony was even more decades later.
Cannot be covered up.
Every time those who come later look up history and catch a glimpse of some of the scenes, they can't help but be amazed.
Ruan Yuan asked again: "Then why do you think there is such a big gap between the Changluo Jue Formation back then and the Chang Luo Jue Formation now? In addition to the difference in ability between Emperor Xia Xiang and King Wu Sijiao, what else is there?
?”
Jiang Wang already knew the answer, but he still couldn't suppress his surprise: "True Lord Blood River?"
Ruan Yang said lightly: "Do you think that without the cooperation of True Monarch Xuehe, Emperor Xia Xiang would have been able to complete the real Changluo Jue Formation and use the disaster to create the kind of disaster that would have threatened the Qi army at that time?
?"
Jiang Wang was stunned.
After a while, he said: "The Changluo Caves are also connected to the Huoshui Gap. With Emperor Xia Xiang's ability, he probably... can do it, right?"
"It seems that there is a certain deviation in your understanding of the Blood River Sect. The current Niehai Sea is bounded by the Blood River, and you don't understand what this concept is. Is it because they almost gave up on the Blood River this time, so you think
, Blood River seems to be nothing more than that?”
Ruan Yuan shook his head: "That's just because the Evil Ancestor Bodhi is too terrifying. The power of this blood river is beyond your imagination. Many Taoist techniques of the Blood River Sect originated from this river. Many secret techniques are borrowed from this river.
The power of the river. I will only tell you one thing - in the 54,000-year history of the Blood River Sect, there has never been a time when the true king level combat power has been eradicated. In every era, there is a true king level combat power.
Exist! Do you know what this concept is? Why do you think the Blood River Sect can be passed down for so long?"
"But this time..." Jiang Wang's thoughts changed quickly: "Is this river of blood similar to the treasure in the cave?"
Ruan Yuan said: "Otherwise, why do you think Huo Shiji suppressed the evil ancestor Bodhi? But they should have other secrets. Even if they are cave treasures, if they are not the top ones, it will be difficult for real people to use them.
Fight against the true king."
Jiang Wang fell silent.
He realized that in the Blood River Sect, under the already complex rhetoric exchanges between all parties, there were more complex undercurrents.
Ruan Yuan continued: "Let's talk about the Blood River. With this Blood River as a boundary, Niehai has almost become the Blood River Sect's own courtyard. Emperor Xia Xiang wants to use the evil water to cause a world-destroying disaster, and it is impossible to hide it from the Blood River.
Zong. And Huo Shiji not only acquiesced, but also actively cooperated."
"But such a thing...why would True Lord Blood River cooperate?" Jiang Wang frowned: "This completely betrays the responsibilities of the Blood River Sect. Once spread, the entire foundation of the Blood River Sect's existence will be wiped out.
"
"Such a huge risk naturally comes with huge rewards. We don't know what conditions Emperor Xia Xiang negotiated with Huo Shiji. Because Huo Shiji's words are not credible, and Emperor Xia Xiang is already dead.
." Ruan Yuan said: "But what we know is that no matter how Si Yuan and Huo Shiji deceive and use each other, their ultimate goals are not the same. Si Yuan caused trouble and deployed the Changluo Jueba Formation in order to defeat the enemy.
We were forced to join forces with me on the frontal battlefield. What moved Huo Shiji was nothing more than the scenery on the top of the mountain. We guessed that Huo Shiji hoped that Huoshui would be attracted so that he could appear as a savior.
Completing immortal deeds and obtaining great merits. This contradiction is enough for us to take advantage of."
There was obvious admiration on Ruan Yuan's face, and Jiang Wang couldn't tell if it was meant for him to see.
The Lord Jianzheng continued: "In the face of the threat of Emperor Xia Xiang, our emperor swore to the sun that the people of Qi would not retreat even a step. Millions of Qi soldiers could die in Xia State, but Qi State's
The spirit is still there, and the national character of Qi is still there. Once the disaster falls, even if the Xia State can survive today, it will not be able to recover for tens of millions of years. If the disaster does not fall, even if the Xia State is destroyed at that time, there will still be fire.
Emperor Xia Xiang threw out the choice, thinking that we would be in a dilemma. But the emperor did not choose at all, and only let Emperor Xia Xiang weigh it himself! With the remaining breath of Gou Yan and the fire of Qianqiu, he knew very well what Emperor Xia Xiang would choose.
Because to some extent, they are actually the same kind of people."
Jiang Wang thought to himself, before facing the danger of perishing together, he still charged resolutely... This is indeed the domineering power that the emperor would have, and it is indeed the choice that the emperor would make.
"It's still hard for me to understand. Doesn't it mean that the Blood River Sect has the status of guarding the Niehai Sea and is favored by God? This God's will..."
Ruan Yuan said: "The will of the present world exists, but it does not possess wisdom. It is closer to a mixture of many rules that maintain the existence of the present world. The Blood River Sect has suppressed Nie Hai for so many years, and its understanding of Nie Hai is unparalleled in the world. Of course, it also has some of its own
Method. Huo Shiji successfully hid the will of God and the world at that time, and completed the cooperation with Emperor Xia Xiang. At that time, only Huo Shiji and Emperor Xia Xiang knew the secret of this matter."
Jiang Wangdao: "But I couldn't hide it from Your Majesty... Your Majesty is really wise and powerful!"
Regardless of whether His Majesty can hear it or not, Ruan Jianzheng is here to praise Your Majesty. If he follows up with the compliment, there will be nothing wrong.
Ruan Yuan smiled: "With your majesty's wisdom, you will not be deceived. While facing Emperor Xia Xiang, he showed his determination to die together, and at the same time, he used various means to create suspicion between Emperor Xia Xiang and Huo Shiji.
This further reduced the possibility of Emperor Xia Xiang launching the Changluo Absolute Formation. Later, he defeated Emperor Xia Xiang on the frontal battlefield and almost destroyed Xia in one battle. But at the same time..."
His voice became more serious: "We also pretended not to know anything about Changluo's annihilation, and gave Huo Shiji enough time to erase the relevant traces."
Jiang Wang suddenly realized: "Think of it, even though he has erased his traces, we must have left evidence here. We used this matter to control the True Lord of the Blood River!"
Ruan Yuan sighed: "This matter is related to the survival of the Blood River Sect, and Huo Shiji has to be restrained. But how can the dignity of a true king be insulted? For so many years, we have not contacted Huo Shiji once. Until Cao Shuaifa
Xia, I just asked him to stop Lord Changsheng once. This time the situation changed, I planned to take the opportunity to have a little communication with him and plan for the situation in southern Xinjiang..."
A True Lord of Yan Dao was caught in the life gate, and he was indeed a very useful chess piece. Unfortunately, it was scrapped after only being used once. Huo Shiji's death can be regarded as a huge loss to Qi State.
Now that I think about it, when Huo Shiji turned around at the gate of the world of mortals, was there some reason why he didn't want to be controlled by others anymore?
After all, Changluo's plan to defeat the enemy ended with Emperor Xia Xiang and him. Emperor Xia Xiang had been dead for decades, and once he died, there would be no reason for Qi to mention this matter again.
Jiang Wang muttered: "No wonder you suspect that Huo Shiji faked his death. If it were me, I would also wonder if he was using this method to escape. But the real monarchs from Sanxing Palace, Jiange, and Mugu Academy were all present to witness
, I have personally witnessed the evil view of the Yan Dao level, and even the evil ancestor of Bodhi, so I’m afraid this matter cannot be false.”
"That's right. It's impossible for Wu Bing to play with him anymore, and it's even less possible for Bodhi to be the evil ancestor." Ruan Yuan's unusually young brows showed a slight sadness: "Although there are many doubts, they can all be explained. That's it.
Let’s see what the Political Affairs Hall can find out, and wait for the results of the review at the Judgment Palace. Maybe we pushed him too hastily..."
Because he was controlled by the Qi State, Huo Shiji was eager to cultivate the next true king, so he acquiesced in Xu Mingsong's instigation of disaster and watched the path of expansion. After Xu Mingsong got away with it, he simply used his own life to suppress it... This is also the case.
A reasonable story line.
Jiang Wang didn't know what to say for a moment.
Ruan Yuan sighed again: "Marquis Wu'an, this matter has alerted me. You should also remember in the future - 'Although the world is like a chess game, don't think that everyone else is the winner.'"
Jiang Wang said sincerely: "I will keep it in mind."
"Go." Ruan Yuan stopped high in the sky, the star map rippled slightly, and he pushed away the floating clouds: "Wenjian Gorge is below, so I won't accompany you to pick them up."
Jiang Wang did not leave immediately, but said: "I still have some questions about the wonders of Yan Dao you mentioned earlier."
Ruan Yuan said: "Tell me and listen."
Jiang Wang recalled while talking: "When the Seven Stars Secret Realm in Daze County was opened, I explored it and went to a world called Floating Land. In the caves of that world, I also encountered people similar to Yan.
They are strange things, but they are really a kind of "beast". There is also a slang in the floating land world, which says, "The falling sky is a star general, and the rising sky is a star beast." The star general refers to people like me.
For those who enter that world, the star beast refers to the kind of monster in the cave... The outer expedition can look like anything, but it is full of dots. That kind of star dots are the same as the star dots of the wonders of Yandao that I saw
, very similar, I can’t tell the difference. But most of those star beasts are very weak, and the more star points, the stronger they are. Do you know anything about this place?"
"What is the blue sky? What is the quiet sky?" Ruan Yuan asked.
Jiang Wangdao: "The blue sky is the sky. In the sky of that world, there is only one Tianshu star shining, and the light and darkness of the Tianshu star change the day and night. The deep sky is actually underground. At the bottom of the cave, you can't see anything. It's a quiet place. Black, free people or whatever, once it falls, it will be completely disintegrated. Only the star beasts are floating in it."
Ruan Yuan was very interested: "Who else entered the floating land world you mentioned?"
Jiang Wang replied: "I don't know how many people went in, but those who came out included Miss Li from the Destroy the City Marquis Mansion, Jiang Wuxie, the Master of the Yangxin Palace, Lei Zhanqian from the Lei Family, and a first-class deacon from the Four Seas Merchant Alliance. His name is Fang Chong. I don’t recognize the rest."
"I haven't paid attention to these. The master of Yangxin Palace has also gone?"
"Yes, when we faced Lei Zhanqian, we were still very stressed."
Ruan Yuan smiled, but did not say anything more about Jiang Wuxie, but asked: "Do you know where the floating land world is and whether there is a corresponding star map? If I have a chance, I will go and take a look. "
Jiang Wang smiled bitterly and said: "I was not even in the Inner Palace at that time, so how could I know the star map? I just followed the power of the Seven Star Tower Secret Realm. The world connected to the Seven Star Tower Secret Realm is different every time..."
Ruan Yuan thought for a while, flipped his fingers, took out a piece of money, and handed it to Jiang Wang: "I have some guesses about what you said, but I can't confirm it. Keep this piece of money, if you If you have the chance to go there again, you can contact me.”
Jiang Wang accepted the knife in a daze and asked, "Is that a scary place?"
"It's not necessarily scary or not. But it may be a tomb world there... But why civilization still exists, I haven't seen it with my own eyes, and I can't know."
