Chapter 121

~12 min read 2,313 words

"Haha, this matter is actually quite interesting..."

Zhang Jie, who was in the mood to talk, immediately told about Murong Bo wanting to stir up a war between Liao and Song,

And the Murong family taking the opportunity to raise an army to restore the "ancestral business."

It's just that this Murong Bo is truly short-sighted.

Let's not talk about the Central Plains side; the martial arts world and the imperial court are two nearly parallel lines,

As long as martial arts people don't rebel, let alone them fighting until their brains are beaten out,

Even if they all died, the imperial court wouldn't want to care.

And on the Great Liao side, Xiao Yuanshan was just an instructor; what's the use of ambushing him?

How could Great Liao launch a full-scale war against the Great Song because of an instructor?

At most, they would use this as an excuse to extort more annual tribute and trade.

Logically speaking, directly assassinating the Emperor of Great Liao,

Even if you can't get within a hundred meters of the Emperor of Great Liao,

It would be more effective than killing Xiao Yuanshan's whole family.

After all, the Emperor of Great Liao doesn't care whether the Great Song interferes with the martial arts world or not,

In their eyes, the Central Plains martial arts world and Great Liao are one and the same.

It can only be said that this branch of Murong Bo has been in the martial arts world for too long,

And no longer possesses strategic vision.

Their starting point has dropped from world-class and national-class to martial arts-class and martial arts sect-class.

Duan Yu and Jiu Qiu Mo Zhi were both shocked by Murong Bo's great ambition:

He actually wanted to stir up a war between the two countries, and then sit back and reap the benefits, taking the opportunity to build a country!

Is this something a martial arts person should do?

Shouldn't martial arts people practice martial arts diligently, pursue being the number one in the world, and shake the martial arts world?

Even if there is a great ambition, it should be about the same when becoming the leader of the martial arts world.

As for creating a new dynasty?

How can one person have so much energy to practice martial arts,

Learn literature, train soldiers, and finally play with the art of emperors?

Besides, the imperial court's million-strong army is not for show; just the Murong family's Yanziwu,

Even soldiers could fill it up; where did Murong Bo get the confidence to raise an army?

Duan Yu scratched his head and asked with some confusion:

"Let's not talk about the feasibility of Murong Bo using Xiao Yuanshan's death to stir up a war between Song and Liao,

And then sitting back and reaping the benefits.

Since he wants to restore the country, then which country is the Murong family's country?

The alternation between the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms and the Sui and Tang dynasties doesn't seem to have a regime with the Murong family as royalty!"

"Amitabha."

Jiu Qiu Mo Zhi stated his guess:

"Could it be that this Murong is a changed surname?"

Duan Yu nodded thoughtfully:

At the end of every dynasty, the new master has a tradition of liquidating the previous dynasty.

So it is very common for the previous dynasty's royalty to change their names and surnames to avoid disaster.

For example, after the fall of the Qin Dynasty, the descendants of the Ying surname changed their surnames to "Qin," "Yin," "Yin," or "Zhao" to avoid disaster.

During the alternation between Wei and Jin, the descendants of the Cao Wei royalty changed their surname to "Cao" to avoid the Sima family's search and confiscation.

After the Yongjia Rebellion, the Sima royalty changed their surnames to "Si,"

"Ma," or further evolved into "Tong" or "Feng" surnames to avoid war.

"Haha!"

Seeing Duan Yu and Jiu Qiu Mo Zhi discussing seriously there,

About which royal family the Murong family changed their surname from, Zhang Jie only felt it was interesting.

Then he told the two about the Murong family's Great Yan with great interest.

"It's actually that Great Yan!"

Duan Yu laughed dumbly.

Being well-read in history, he naturally knew about the Murong family's Great Yan regime during the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms period.

This Great Yan existed from the establishment of the Former Yan 337 years ago to the destruction of the Northern Yan in 436,

A total of about a hundred years, and the Murong clan established five Yan states in three generations, but none could be maintained for long.

Moreover, these Great Yans were not only confined to the north,

Most importantly, five or six hundred years have passed!

The Yang family of the Great Sui and the Li family of the Great Tang didn't shout about restoring the country; what does your Murong family want to do?

"Pfft!"

Even Jiu Qiu Mo Zhi, who didn't show his emotions, couldn't help but laugh.

Jiu Qiu Mo Zhi: I am professionally trained, I generally don't laugh,

Unless I really can't help it, haha!

It's not that his laugh point is low, but the Murong family's ideas are too funny.

After so many years, I'm afraid they are the only family left that misses the Great Yan, right?

Jiu Qiu Mo Zhi didn't know how to evaluate the Murong Bo family for a while,

Should he say they are unswerving, or like an idiot?

"Canhe Manor, could the Murong family be using the defeat at Canhe Slope to inspire their descendants."

Duan Yu, who learned the origin of the Murong family, thought of the name of the Murong family's manor and speculated.

The Battle of Canhe Slope was a decisive battle between Northern Wei and Later Yan during the Sixteen Kingdoms period.

At that time, the Later Yan Crown Prince Murong Bao led an army of 80,000 to attack Northern Wei,

And Northern Wei Emperor Taiwu Tuoba Gui led more than 20,000 elite cavalry to pursue, defeating the Yan army at Canhe Slope,

Capturing and beheading tens of thousands of people, with only a few people like Murong Bao escaping.

This battle severely damaged the main force of Later Yan and accelerated its decline...

"Exactly."

Zhang Jie nodded slightly, confirming Duan Yu's speculation.

In the end, Jiu Qiu Mo Zhi and Duan Yu looked at each other, and both buried their speechlessness about the Murong family in their hearts.

What the Murong family wants to do is their own business, and it has nothing to do with them.

As long as the Murong family doesn't plot against them, they naturally don't care and hang high.

If the Murong family wants to rebel, it will naturally be handled by the Zhao Song imperial court; it has nothing to do with them.

After solving the big problem of Murong Bo's life and death,

The three of them floated out of Yanziwu and returned to Gusu.

"Amitabha, since the old Patron Murong is not dead, then this humble monk has nothing to do.

Patron Duan Yu, this humble monk has offended you these days, I hope you will forgive me."

On the pier, Jiu Qiu Mo Zhi put his hands together and sincerely apologized to Duan.

Although he still had some little thoughts in his heart,

But Zhang Jie was looking at him with a smile on the side!

Since there is now a step, it is better to go down the slope and resolve this matter.

"Great Master Jumo..."

Duan Yu's thin lips opened and closed, but he couldn't say anything nice.

Zhang Jie expressed understanding for this: Jiu Qiu Mo Zhi didn't abuse Duan Yu along the way,

But let alone Jiu Qiu Mo Zhi threatening to burn him as a living sword manual for Murong Bo,

Just Jiu Qiu Mo Zhi causing trouble in Tian Long Temple, forcing his uncle,

The Dali Emperor Duan Zhengming to shave his head and become a monk, already made him an enemy of their Dali Duan clan.

Even with Duan Yu's cultivation, not using bad language was already the limit.

Anyway, Zhang Jie admitted that he couldn't be so good-tempered.

If he were Duan Yu, the grass on Jiu Qiu Mo Zhi's grave would be at least three feet high...

"Amitabha, Patron Zhang, this humble monk will say goodbye now?"

Jiu Qiu Mo Zhi, who didn't know Zhang Jie was slandering him, said goodbye.

Zhang Jie smiled lightly: "Great Master is in such a hurry to leave, are you afraid of me?"

"Where, where. It's just that it's getting late, and this humble monk doesn't want to bother the Patron anymore."

Jiu Qiu Mo Zhi denied it repeatedly.

However, there was always a voice in his heart telling him:

"Leave quickly! The further away from this dangerous person, the better!"

Even with his spiritual cultivation,

It is difficult to be calm in front of a person who has the ability to take his life at any time.

Life and death are controlled by others, not by oneself, which is a great terror!

Although Zhang Jie saw Jiu Qiu Mo Zhi's strangeness, he didn't say anything:

This is human nature, why blame him?

Didn't he also go to Leigu Mountain first and then lure and kill the Four Great Evils after having full confidence?

Then he slowly opened his mouth: "I heard that the Dharma King is obsessed with martial arts,

I happen to have a few martial arts here that I want to discuss with the Dharma King."

Jiu Qiu Mo Zhi, who was a martial arts fanatic, was immediately attracted,

Even the strangeness in his heart was suppressed, and he put his hands together, impatiently saying:

"This humble monk is willing."

His eyes were full of expectation:

The martial arts brought out by such a great expert as Zhang Jie must be supreme martial arts.

"He is strong, let him be strong, the breeze blows over the mountain ridge; he is fierce, let him be fierce, the bright moon shines on the great river."

Zhang Jie said a few lines of the general outline of the "Nine Yang Divine Art."

"Wonderful, wonderful!"

Jiu Qiu Mo Zhi was intoxicated by the mysteries contained within.

But just as he couldn't help but show joy, Zhang Jie stopped chanting.

Jiu Qiu Mo Zhi was anxious, feeling like a million ants were crawling on his heart, and asked urgently:

"Young Master Zhang, what about the next part?"

Zhang Jie smiled and said nothing upon hearing this, just looking at Jiu Qiu Mo Zhi like that.

"Amitabha, this humble monk was reckless.

I wonder which martial art the Patron wants from this humble monk?"

Jiu Qiu Mo Zhi is worthy of being a person who can become the Great Wheel Dharma King and the State Preceptor of Tubo, and reacted quickly:

This exchange of martial arts naturally requires give and take.

Zhang Jie took out a martial art, so he should also take out a martial art.

Zhang Jie was not polite and directly stated his goal:

"I heard that the Tantric Sect has the supreme divine art "Dragon Elephant Prajna Art," which has supreme dragon and elephant power after being practiced.

I have long yearned for it, and I hope the Dharma King will not hesitate to teach me."

"Dragon Elephant Prajna Art?

Amitabha, my Tantric Sect indeed has this martial art,

But it has a huge flaw and is difficult to master; is the Patron sure it's this one?"

As the leader of this generation of the Tantric Sect and the Great Wheel Dharma King publicly elected by Tibetan Buddhism,

Jiu Qiu Mo Zhi was naturally no stranger to the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art, a divine art of the Tantric Sect with a great reputation.

Adhering to the principle of honest trading, he explained the shortcomings of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art in detail.

It turns out that this "Dragon Elephant Prajna Sutra" is a divine art of the Tantric Sect, divided into thirteen layers.

The threshold for practicing this art is extremely low, and even dull people can get started, but the progress is extremely slow,

Theoretically, it takes a thousand years of lifespan to reach the thirteenth layer.

After finishing, Jiu Qiu Mo Zhi also regretfully told an example:

"This art takes a thousand years to master, but where in the world is there a person who can live for a thousand years?

For this reason, most practitioners find it difficult to break through the eighth layer; if they force progress, it is easy to cause inner demons.

Many years ago, there was a high monk in our Tibetan border who had inner demons suddenly arise when he practiced to the tenth layer,

And after dancing wildly for seven days and seven nights, he cut off his meridians and died."

"It takes a thousand years to master?"

Duan Yu, who was listening on the side, was also stunned.

Who in the world does not die?

Whether you are a beautiful woman with peerless elegance, an emperor with power over the world,

Or a peerless expert who is invincible in the world, in the end, you will all turn into a handful of yellow soil.

This Dragon Elephant Prajna Art cannot be practiced by mortals at all,

I'm afraid only an Arhat descended to earth or a Celestial being descended to earth can practice it to mastery.

Suddenly, looking at Zhang Jie's face, which was younger than his, a glimmer of hope rose in Duan Yu's heart:

If Zhang Jie were to practice it, there might really be hope for mastery.

At the very least, the first ten layers are not a problem; after all, this person is a peerless genius who,

With a slight move, made the Great Wheel Dharma King Jiu Qiu Mo Zhi admit defeat!
