Chapter 2 The Story of the Past
"You're too cold to them."
Li Daoji appeared in front of Ding Ning. He glanced at Xie Changsheng, Xie Rou and others in the distance, and then looked at Ding Ning with a cold voice, saying slowly: "Don't get me wrong, I mean, even if you don't like Xie Rou's approach, you don't have to treat them so coldly and rudely."
Ding Ning was silent for a moment.
Li Daoji waited patiently for him.
Ding Ning looked at the broken sword on his waist and said slowly, "Uncle Li Dao, since you have found this broken sword for me, you should naturally know the story about this sword."
Li Daoji's brow frowned in a Sichuan shape, "Do you know the story of this sword?"
"Before Emperor Yuanwu ascended the throne, our Great Qin Dynasty had a very famous place of practice called Bashan Sword Field."
Ding Ning's face was as quiet as water. He said in a light tone that was really telling stories: "In many stories, the Bashan Sword Field is even higher than the Minshan Sword Sect and Lingxu Sword Sect. Because in the matters of extermination of the three dynasties for the Qin Dynasty and even helping Emperor Yuanwu ascend the throne, many of the decisive practitioners who played a decisive role came from the Bashan Sword Field."
"It was just a major change before Emperor Yuanwu ascended the throne. Countless practitioners who were originally loyal to the Qin Dynasty turned into rebellion overnight. Some of them had high identities. Even Emperor Yuanwu had to admit that they had a profound impact on the future of the Qin Dynasty. Yan Xinlan, a sword court in Bashan, is one of them."
"Just just need her to say something Emperor Yuanwu wants to hear and publicly express her attitude, she can survive noblely, and the Bashan Sword Field will continue to exist, and today there should be a higher position than the Minshan Sword Sect and Lingxu Sword Sect."
"However, she chose to wave his sword to Emperor Yuanwu to show her unyielding attitude."
Listening to Ding Ning's words, Li Daoji's face became increasingly unnatural.
He finally couldn't help but speak out: "What do children know? Many things even happened before you were born. Since you know many stories, you should understand that many stories cannot be mentioned again. And what does these stories have to do with your attitude towards them now!"
"Xie Rou's temperament is probably very similar to the owner of this dungao sword. I don't hate it, and I even admire her, but you know my situation better than others." Ding Ning looked up at him and said, "You know that I offended a big man in the military. Even Li Lingjun is also thinking about me. My physical condition will also determine that I will climb up in Changling very quickly. I don't know how many people I will offend. I will risk my life to do something because I have some plans. But I can't drag them and I to do such things."
"Are you worried that Xie Rou will have the same fate as the master of this dungao sword?" Li Daoji sarcastically said: "You are thinking too far."
Ding Ning shook his head: "If a person has no future intentions, he will have immediate worries."
Li Daoji stopped persuading Ding Ning and turned around.
But after taking a few steps, he paused again, turned to look at Ding Ning, and said, "You mentioned the story of the Master of the Mohua Sword... But have you ever known what the Master of the Mohua Sword thinks? How do you know that she is so unhappy? Compared with the life of enjoying honor and being in a good life, she may be happier when she dies. She has no regrets in her life, and few people can do it, but she may have done it."
Ding Ning remained silent.
In recent years, he has met many people in Changling whom he would not pay attention to in his daily life. He has also met many people of all kinds that he had never talked about before, including peddlers, fishermen, woodcutters, prostitutes, madams, wealthy merchants, and serf prisoners... and many immigrants from the three dynasties, Wei, Han, and Zhao, have now gradually integrated with Changling and become the people of the Qin Dynasty. Some still remember their homeland, some people on the edge, and some have completely forgotten their homeland, and they want to desperately gain the same status as the Changling people and climb up the Qin Dynasty, but are excluded.
From these people, he learned a lot and learned to look at something from their standpoint.
He actually admitted that Li Daoji said was right, but he was sure that if Li Daoji knew what kind of rebellious heart was beating in his chest, he would never say what he said now.
Even if the legendary Mr. Zhao Jianlu and Zhao Yi, no matter how outstanding the Baishanshui in Yunshui Palace is, no matter how admirable it is, who would persuade people to be friends with such a big rebellious person?
...
Some things are often easily judged and seen clearly after passing through them.
In the battle between the Qin Dynasty and the Han, Zhao and Wei Dynasty, the situation changed rapidly. In a battle, hundreds of thousands of swordsmen may be killed or injured, and thousands of practitioners will be lost. No one can predict the outcome of the victory or defeat.
But now Han, Zhao, and Wei Huifei are destroyed. Many historical books in later generations attribute the reasons for victory and defeat, but most of them agree with the same views and opinions.
In the absolute mainstream and authoritative records of history books, the Han Dynasty was eventually destroyed mainly because of the failure to move the capital. The Dahan Dynasty, which once relied on some Danzong, was originally Yangdi, but some strategists of the Daqin Dynasty instilled some ideas on Emperor Ai through many methods and painted a very beautiful vision, making him firmly believe that if the Dahan Dynasty wants to have stronger power, he must move the capital to Luoyi.
Moving the capital to Luoyi was indeed very beneficial at that time, because there was Wushan on the left of Luoyi. The Yugu in Wushan was the best place for practice in the world with strong spiritual energy. Moving many sects to Yugu could transport more powerful practitioners to the dynasty. On the right of Luoyi, there was a fertile land of Longshu, which was rich in granaries and was sufficient.
However, many people and nobles did not migrate because of the capital. Moreover, due to the many losses caused by the capital, many conflicts with Emperor Ai of Han. After the capital was moved, the rise of some new forces and the division of new capital caused the dynasty to sharply reduce the power of the dynasty and was eventually destroyed.
Destroying Wei was two major events. One was the Lingqu plan. Driven by some conspiracies, the Wei Dynasty began to gather countless skilled craftsmen, hoping to artificially build a huge spiritual canal that can absorb a large amount of spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The construction of this spiritual canal consumed countless resources of the Wei Dynasty and its national strength gradually weakened. The other was the only one in Wei Yunshui Palace. At a certain period of time, many practitioners with amazing cultivation emerged, and the King of Wei also relied more and more on Yunshui Palace. Many things were all tilted towards Yunshui Palace, which eventually made Yunshui Palace the dominant, leading to the withering and even disappearing of many cultivation sects.
Destroying Zhao is the most classic use of counter-espionage. During the most critical period of the war between the Great Qin Dynasty and the Zhao Dynasty, the Great Qin Dynasty successfully convinced the King of Zhao that Zhao Jianlu would cooperate with the Great Qin Dynasty and eventually took his position. So he killed the strongest master of Zhao State and created the sword of Zhao Jianlu.
Then the army of the Great Qin Dynasty was no longer scrupulous and unstoppable. In just less than three months, the Zhao Dynasty was destroyed.
Even for many people in the Qin Dynasty who finally won the war in such a war, there are still countless things to learn from and worthy of thought during the destruction of these three dynasties.
After all, in the ever-changing battle, I don’t know how many great people are exerting their efforts, and how many kinds of conspiracies are being carried out at the same time. Only in the future can we find out which of them play a role.
Especially the fact that Wei Yunshui Palace's dominance caused many Danzong to have weak power and influenced national strength has made various dynasties take it as a warning.
Therefore, at this time, although Emperor Yuanwu was more in control than all the emperors of the Great Qin Dynasty before, he and the queen, a group formed by two ministers, firmly suppressed and controlled all the noble families of the Great Qin Dynasty, the central dynasty deliberately kept it in the state of being the first place of cultivation. In addition to providing some shelter and support, it only allowed it to grow naturally like weeds.
The process of the demise of the Wei Dynasty made people in later generations understand that no matter how powerful a sect looks, it is, but as long as it maintains the state of being established and the essence of that sect, this sect may suddenly become stronger at some point many years later because of some people with extraordinary talent.
The number of practitioners who are particularly useful to the entire dynasty by a particularly powerful sect is far less than the total number of those small and medium-sized sects.
Therefore, after the demise of the Wei Dynasty, each dynasty ensured that all the sects of its dynasty could exist for a long time. In fact, there were very few things like the incorporation of Aries Cave into the Qingteng Sword Academy.
Because most sects are deliberately maintaining their original state, they are equivalent to a pure and isolated place. The practitioners in the mountain gate only need to consider the issue of improving their realm.
For Qingteng Sword Academy, the three-day closed-door sword sacrifice trial is equivalent to isolating himself and Changling for three days.
