Book 26 Chapter 4 – The Heavenly Saber Song Que
The handso-like-shi+ny-precious-stone and in-high-spirits eyes under a clear pair of thick eyebrows, the wide forehead that showed above average intelligent, the entle facial expression that could move anybody’s heart, but could also make people feel that the affection was so deep that it was hard to pin down
Although frost had started to appear on Song Que’s te On the contrary, it actually increased his i clan, his elegance as a Confucian scholar, while also his intilance, an unattainable iant build and deep-pool-highest- charisma of the finest martial art master, who considered himself unexcelled in the world
He was about a cun taller than Kou Zhong With his gaze sweeping hi as if he could not hide anything fro Que raised his head to look at the bea tranquil and calm, he said, “Since Jin dynasty’s Enu], Western Jin dynasty fell, the world also fell into all-split-up-and-in-pieces situation Since then Hu people [barbarians, non-Han people] wreaked havoc, until the Sui dynasty’s En exterminated the Chen, and the world returned to its unified state During the two hundred and seventy years in between, de our Han people’s orthodox way into chaos Although the Sui dynasty reigned for barely thirty-eight years, and it ceased to exist by the tizhou, such a short period of tiolden opportunity for whoever is able to unify the world to acco’s face, he let out a cold hu Jian was able to obtain the world?”
Muttering to hi said, “Must be the ti Que threw his head back in long laughter, “Well said,” he said, “At the ti Jian was in a position of power; since the ancient ti Jian who obtained the world quite easily Froovernment until he seized the throne and established the Sui dynasty, from head to tail there were merely ten months His success came fast, it has never been seen then and now”
And then he s Jian was able to acco so fast?”
Inwardly Kou Zhong was glad that he had read and reread Lu Miaozi’s legacy scroll until he was familiar with it He replied, “Incompetent opponents, Northern Zhou’s [Dynasty (557-581)]Jian was able to seize the momentum and rose up This is just Xiaozi’s [kid] view, Fazhu, please bestow directions”
Song Que nodded and said, “Shao Shuai is right, only you missed the most important point, which was the Han unification is on the rise again”
Finished speaking, his face showed a deep-in-thought expression; still with his hands behind his back, he strolled on Kou Zhong’s left side, and stopped and stoodHis eyes eazed at the locust tree in the courtyard
He spoke glibly, “The reason Northern Wei [(386-534), founded by the Tuoba branch of Xianbei] was able to unify the north was siroup of northern nomadic people] barbarians were brave and adept at war, practically Han people were not their match But since the barbarians wreaked havoc in our Central Earth, our Han people are strong-willed, in the matter of life and death, we knew that if we did not strive for self-improvement, it would be difficult to defend ourselves WeofConfucian and literary cultivation that have been revered since the Emperor Wu [of the Han dynasty (141-87BC)] Before the Northern Zhou was even one year old, the high-ranking military officers as the backbone of the arreat general who grasped enerations It is thus clear that the reason Yang Jian was able to ascend the emperor’s throne was indeed the inevitable outcome of the restoration and rise of the Han people’s power”
Kou Zhong sighed and said, “Fazhu’s view is very thorough I have never thought that deeply about this issue No wonder presently Central Earth’s heroic and e nu with excite Que spoke heavily, “But only two are worthy to be considered in my eyes; one is Li Yuan’s second son shi+’s old face blushed; a bit embarrassed, he said, “Fazhu overpraisedat the whetstone that looked like a spirit tablet enshrined and worshi+pped at the end of the hall Searching through ly he found that his nahest place on the stone; he could not help feeling frightened
Song Que’s voice turned gentle, he spoke softly, “Since the Han dynasty was defeated and perished, the world continues to be put in the situation where the north and the south are standing opposite to each other, and the reason is si as the natural barrier Did Shao Shuai know that the Li Fareee, then Bashu, under Xie Hui’s leadershi+p, will align their allegiance to the Li Fa to the Li Faer be natural defense, the south will fall into the Li Fah warshi+ps, the Li Fa the river, and then ould have power to resist the sucked in a
shi+ Feixuan was indeed nificent army with thousands of men and horses; with no blood on the men’s sword, she won half of the country for Li shi+min
Not ’s real situation Even a see was still far away frohed and said, “If a year ago you, Kou Zhong, could haveQue, would fully support you, I h to Xie Hui to have Bashu stand on your side Too bad the current situation has changed Unless you make an oath in front of the whetstone that you ithdraw fro Mo Dao Tang alive today Although Li shi+ the root and tracing the source, Song Que can still consider him a Han, so I’ll let him tidy up this all-split-up-and-in-pieces terrible mess! However, were it not for the Li Fa would never had ’s scalp went nuraved on the whetstone, and why Song Yuzhi, using thousand ways, a hundred plans, was trying to stop hi that Kou Zhong had never expected
So bubbled up in his hed heartily, saying, “Since that’s the case, Kou Zhong would be happy to ask for advice from Fazhu’s Heavenly Saber secret art Please!”
Xu Ziling waited until Lei Jiuzhi regained his co It was not until Lei Xiong revealed your true feeling that I dare to believe Lei Xiong’s words”
Lei Jiuzhi focused his attention to look at hi the boat for ten-thousand years [a quotation frozi (369-286 BC), a Daoist author (Baidu Zhidao, in Chinese)] Xu Xiongdi’s attitude is correct Ay! I should have guessed early on that youhas another Yue Shannodded to affir’s relationshi+p with Lu Miaozi, Lei Jiuzhi regretfully said, “Based on Ziling’s astonishi+ng strength, which is enough to kill the ‘Heavenly Lord’ Xi Ying, if you could help me, then where water flows, a canal is forht, success will follow naturally] However, of course I understand that Ziling has an even more important matter to attend to Without any better option, I will have to find a way to resolvesaid
Lei Jiuzhi , “I had a fight with Xiang Gui of Baling Bang Also, although on the surface the Huo Fa Fa people in charge of their brothel and casino business in Bashu”
Xiang Gui was actually Xiang Yushan’s ol’ dad Upon hearing this, Xu Ziling was greatly interested; he asked, “No wonder when Lei Xiong saw Huo Jitong co to bring you trouble Could you tell me a bit more details?”
Lei Jiuzhi said, “This matter is complicated and not easy to express succinctly There has always been ru around both the Central Earth and abroad in search of beautiful woaged in sha those woible evidence It was quite by accident that I encountered this kind of activity at Yunnan’s Dali region”
Frowning, Xu Ziling asked, “Wasn’t that a thing of the past?”
Snorting disdainfully, Lei Jiuzhi said, “Such a lucrative business, how could their Xiang Faive up? In my opinion, even Xiao Xian himself is kept inside a dru Family’s business This way, even if in the future Xiao Xian’s arlory, splendor, wealth and rank to the fullest Since ancient ti, these two industries have never declined”
Inwardly Xu Ziling thought that whether it was for co absolutelyYushan do this kind of devoid-of-conscience evil deeds and get away to enjoy endless riches, honor and peace
“How could they keep this hu asked
Lei Jiuzhi replied, “They have tays to do that: first, they won’t let any outsiders know that those brothels and casinos are actually under their banner Secondly, they specifically go to re threats and proe women, whom they trained and then supplied to brothels and depraved matchmakers in all parts of the country Formerly there were corrupt bureaucrats of the Sui dynasty who covered up for them But now that the whole country is in rebellion, nobody has the ti asked, “What is Lei Xiong’s plan to deal with the a smile full of confidence, Lei Jiuzhi said, “I want to force Xiang Gui to get out andQue passed slowly by Kou Zhong’s side again He smiled and said, “In terms of view, appearance andQue’s opponent However, there is one big flaw that will doo, outstanding-like-pine-and-cypress-on-lofty-mountain back was he walked over toward the whetstone, Kou Zhong sht; how could I, Kou Zhong, have any desire to killQue suddenly stopped “In that case,” he shouted sternly, “You ht as well kill yourself and be done with it! If you don’t want to abandon your saber, there is no other choice Even if you train saber technique for a hundred years, you still cannot reach the pinnacle of the saber technique”
Sneering, Kou Zhong said, “How could there be any pinnacle on earth? If there was lination?”
Song Que turned around like a ind The unusual light on his eyes flared out like the brightest star in the depth of the night, like a sharp arrows his gaze ’s, but his flawless complexion was still like a still water without any ripple, as he coldly said, “That is just the words of the ignorant Everybody, in a certain tith; no matter how one exerts oneself physically, one could only reach certain height But if one is carrying heavy object, the height of what one can achieve ht be reduced The rest is just nonsense”
Stunned, Kou Zhong said, “I was talking about different thing, it was just a general reflection But to Fazhu, perhaps it was also a nonsense”
“It was definitely a nonsense,” Song Que spoke matter-of-factly, “When the will is undivided, it will condense into spirit When the spirit condenses, it starts to reach the intention Only when the intention moves the hand e be able to talk about method When one who follows the in to understand how to use the saber”
Appeared to be deep in thought, Kou Zhong muttered, “What’s the difference between spirit and intention?”
Song Que stretched out an ar!’
As if it was alive, one of the sabers created a noise, and unexpectedly it moved out of the scabbard, exactly like if it was pulled out by a hand
Watching this, a chill crept into Kou Zhong’s heart
Song Que grabbed an e pulled out by an invisible thread, and fell into the pale suddenly occurred
The rasp, Kou Zhong felt that Song Que and his saber have becoed-into-one’ entity It was a co, so subtle that it was hard to describe
At the sa-like spirited ray, enveloping Kou Zhong so that he felt that his entire being, inside and outside, none can escape the gaze of this nuh co exposed to cold wind and icy snow
