Keyboard Immortal - 556. Chapter 555
Hearing what he said, Wu Geng’s original calm expression instantly changed. He had been bending over respectfully before, and quickly straightened up. There was an inexplicable kingly air in his whole person.
He looked at Zu’an and said lightly: “When did you know?”
Following his words, the surrounding environment changed abruptly. The blood on the battlefield had flowed into a river and smashed into the sky, but in the next second, all of this disappeared.
The place where it is located is not the battlefield of Muye, but on the deer platform built a few years ago.
Pei Mianman also appeared here, she was a little confused by the second monk, and hurriedly came to Zu’an: “Azu, what’s the situation?”
Zu’an smiled bitterly: “This is the creator of this trial, the real last Shang Wang Wugeng.”
Pei Mianman looked to the side in surprise. The prince who was taciturn on weekdays often asked her for peace. It was really difficult to get in touch with the final boss.
Wu Geng frowned: “You haven’t answered my question yet.”
Zuan replied: “Actually, after I entered this secret realm, I have always had doubts, that is, that King Zhou Muye was defeated in the army and fled to the deer platform to burn himself to death. Obviously he didn’t have time to build this secret realm. Then there are most likely two people left, one is King Zhou’s concubine, who later founded the Song Kingdom, Qi; the other is King Zhou’s prince, who later became King of Shang Wu Geng.”
“Weizi Qi and King Zhou are fighting for the throne. To some extent, he is a traitor to the Shang Dynasty. Moreover, he is the founding king of Song Dynasty. He has a good relationship with Zhou people. It is really impossible to build such a secret realm.”
“Then only you are left. When King Zhou set himself on fire and became the co-lord of the world during his death week, you became the last king of Shang. After a few years after temporarily surrendering, he directly led the merchants to counterattack when the new king of Zhou Dynasty was young. The war lasted for three years, but unfortunately it failed in the end.”
After listening to his analysis, Wu Geng’s eyes flashed with surprise: “You seem to be quite clear about this past, but people in this world don’t know this history. Who are you?”
Zuan sighed: “It’s just a destined person.”
Obviously Wu Geng didn’t intend to go into it. He turned his head and looked at the deer platform next to him, with a heavy voice: “Do you know what happened after the defeat in the Battle of Muye?”
Zuan shook his head, and saw that the other party seemed to want to pour out something, how could he interrupt.
Wu Geng stretched out his hand, and the air in front of him produced waves of waves, like a mirror, and soon some pictures appeared.
I saw a tall and heroic man fled back to Lutai and sighed to the sky.
This is naturally King Shang Zhou, and Da Ji died with him.
It didn’t take long for the Zhou people’s army to enter the capital of Shang Dynasty.
The best sacrifices for the heavens are human sacrifices, and now human sacrifices are readily available.
One hundred fortunate ministers of King Zhou were escorted to the altar, cut off their hands and feet with axe, allowing them to roll and struggle in the blood. The louder they shout and the more violent they struggle and roll, it means the more abundant the sacrifices dedicated to the gods.
The stubborn generals on the Muye battlefield and the forty patriarchs of the merchant core clan were stripped of their clothes and thrown into the boiling cauldron.
The bones of King Zhou were found. The heads of him and his concubines, and the ears of the enemy soldiers captured during the war, were all piled on a huge pyre and burned. The scorched fireworks were the favorite food of the gods.
…
Zuan and Pei Mianman have stayed in this trial for so long, and have been kings and queens of Shang again. Seeing the cruel images in the pictures, their faces changed greatly, and at the same time they were extremely angry.
At this time Wu Geng said: “The main reason I established this secret realm is to restore the truth of the year, and at the same time reflect on why the powerful big merchant will perish.”
After a pause, sharp eyes looked at Zuan and Pei Mianman: “Have you gone through these trials and summed up the reasons for the demise of Dashang?”
Zu An’s heart jumped, is this the final test? He did not dare to neglect, sorted out his thoughts and replied: “In my opinion, there are four main reasons. One is naturally the rise of Zhou people. When the Northwest Qiang was defeated, Zhou people took advantage of the vacuum in the Guanzhong area and took the opportunity to enter. Master Guanzhong. Throughout history, Guanzhong is the land of Longxing. As long as it is managed well, it is bound to be unstoppable. Unfortunately, there were other powerful enemies around the Shang Dynasty at first, and there was no energy to manage this side. Waiting for the Shang Dynasty to resolve it. After other enemies, Zhou people have completely risen, and Shang can only fight and pull again, such as killing Jili and marrying three colors. Unfortunately, Zhou people have been deliberate. Several generations of Jian Shang have been determined, and Shang cannot escape the fate of being destroyed. .”
Wu Geng expressionlessly: “What else?”
Zuan then replied: “The second reason is the question of the succession of the Shang king. The conflicts between the two factions of the entire Shang dynasty, brothers and last brothers, and father and son are irreconcilable, and the royal family is always in a state of infighting and chaos. The national power has been greatly reduced, and it is impossible to unify the foreign countries.”
Wu Geng sighed: “Yes, for 500 years in the Shang Dynasty, the royal house has always been in chaos. This is also the reason why the capital was frequently moved in history.”
After receiving his approval, Zu An breathed a sigh of relief and took Pei Mianman’s hand, and then continued: “The third reason is the struggle between royal power and theocratic power. In fact, the sacrificial matter is only fooling the people at the bottom. For the king of Shang, he must know where there are any gods, but the high priest can use the name of the gods to check and balance the king’s power. Any aspiring business king can’t tolerate this situation, and the two sides compete for power with their own strengths. In fact, speaking of it This is similar to the second reason. After all, those high priests are also royal families who have lost their inheritance rights.”
Wu Geng nodded: “From the beginning of Yi Yin, the power of the high priest was very powerful. The merchant kings of all dynasties wanted to regain the power of the gods. Unfortunately, except for the superpowers of a few merchant kings such as the Wu Ding Dynasty, the power of the gods was controlled by others. The high priest of the royal family controls… the fourth reason?”
“The fourth reason…” Zu An paused and said, “Those mentioned before are the root causes of the demise of the Shang Dynasty, and the fourth reason should be the direct cause of the demise of the Shang Dynasty. During the Zhou Dynasty, Wang Shu Bigan and Jizi The old aristocracy at the head was not in harmony with the king of Shang due to hundreds of years of tradition; Wei Ziqi lost his throne for a funny reason, and was dissatisfied, so he had to rely on the power of Zhou to become king. In the end, he I got my wish. Although I didn’t become the King of Shang, I became the King of Song.”
“There are also those important officials in the court, Shang Rong and Xin Jia are kind to the Zhou people. There must be more who can’t name it. King Zhou looked at the entire court, and there must be a sense of despair that everyone in the world can communicate with Zhou. ”
“Actually, you also missed one person.” Wu Geng said, “The glue that was pulled up by the father with one hand had already secretly taken refuge in Zhou people.”
Zuan was taken aback for a moment: “Jiao Li? Didn’t he rescued from slaves by your father, and then pulled it up with one hand? How could such a lineage take refuge in Zhou people?”
Wu Geng snorted, “Because he was bought by Zhou people before his father rescued him. Don’t forget that he was from Dongyi. During the hundreds of years of war, Dongyi people and businessmen had no common hatred. , Not to mention that the sacred jade cong of the Dongyi people was plundered by the big merchants, how could they really take refuge in the big merchants.”
“Yu Cong…” Zu An’s heart jumped. At that time, the girl Jiang Jiang outside asked him to find the one. Wu Ding had indeed seen it at first, but he was buried with his wife.
But he recovered immediately, and then said: “In addition to the few people just mentioned, you, the prince, seem to be dissatisfied with King Zhou and should have participated in their rebellion. King Zhou is all enemies, this is the situation. He can’t be defeated again, but I don’t quite understand it. Others can understand it against King Zhou, but you are already a prince, so why do you follow him against him?”
Wu Geng looked lonely: “Back then, my father favored Daji. My mother and queen have been out of favor and may be deposed at any time. When Daji has a son, how can I sit firmly as a prince? It is better to start first. In fact, many aristocrats in the imperial court did not really want to oppose business, but just wanted to use the Zhou people to force his father to step down. Unfortunately, they did not expect Zhou people to be so ambitious that they came with the purpose of destroying business from the beginning. ”
“Let the wolf into the room.” Zu An sighed. The power struggle between the nobles of the Shang Dynasty brought Dong Zhuo into the capital. How did you know that this “Dong Zhuo” was so vigorous.
“When we people realized it was too late. At that time, the overall situation was settled, and Zhou Ren became the co-master of the world.” Wu Geng gritted his teeth. “At that time, Zhou Ren was too strong. Now, the youngest son ascended the throne. I found the opportunity to fight Zhou Ren. Because I was worried about failure, I prepared this secret realm in advance, so that even if I fail, someone will know the truth of the year in the future.”
After Wu Geng finished speaking, he looked at Zu’an and Pei Mianman: “You are very good. The first few trials have a higher cultivation base than you. Unfortunately, I directly deprived everyone of their cultivation bases in this trial. People have become ordinary people. Because what I am after is not the cultivation base of the testers, but whether they can understand the anger and grievances of our businessmen, and whether they can find a solution.”
He went on to say: “There are no shortage of clever and talented people in the previous trials, but many of the first levels have not come out. They were either misled by Xiao Tuo or talked against Fu, or after decades of emperor life. I have forgotten who I am and why I came here, and I am completely lost.”
“In the second level, if it hadn’t been for the sincere love of Sancai since childhood, she would not take the initiative to propose an alternative marriage. Once the female trialist marries in the Western Zhou Dynasty, there is only one dead end.”
“As for the third level, you actually sorted out the chaos, knowing which are the enemies and which are the friends, the battle of Makino will bring the main force back, and let your companions lead the Strange Soldier to suddenly join the battlefield, and even see mine. Identity, if the father was like you back then, the outcome might be really different.”
Zuan and Pei Mianman glanced at each other, Qi Qi breathed a sigh of relief, obviously they were the first pair of all trialers to reach this step.
It’s just that Wu Geng’s conversation turned: “Unfortunately, you still haven’t completed the trial. You only figured out everything at the last moment. At that time, there was no time to stop anything. As long as I give an order, I will subordinate you. The army’s counterattack strikes, and the ending is still doomed. You haven’t changed a single bit.”
Zuan and Pei Mianman’s faces changed, and they fell on the threshold of the customs clearance, really depressed.
Wu Geng’s tone was also full of regrets: “Your performance in the trial is really excellent, much better than all the previous trials, but the more you do this, the more I look forward to it. Testers who are even better than you can solve all this perfectly, so you are ready to go-die.”
After speaking, his whole body slowly rose, covered in black air, and one hand slowly raised, a hideous gluttonous pattern appeared on his palm, and then the whole palm turned into a black hole, and inside came a black hole. With the huge suction power, everything around him began to destroy, and even the tall and majestic Lutai began to fall apart, and various things were sucked into his palm.
Obviously he judged that the two of them had failed the trial and wanted to close the world of trials and waited for a long time for the next pair of destined men and women to open it.
Zu’an and Pei Mianman felt the powerful tearing force of their souls, as if they were about to be sucked in by each other at any time.
Pei Mianman tightly held Zu’an’s hand and smiled sadly: “We can count on it for a lifetime, and it’s satisfying to be able to die together now.”
“Why is it so easy to die?” Zuan said quickly, staring at Wu Geng in midair, “We didn’t fail this trial, and I still have something to do!”
“Oh?” Wu Geng was taken aback, and couldn’t help but sneer, “You haven’t concealed anything from my eyes and ears by all your methods, so there is no other way to go.”
Despite what he said, the palm of his hand was still slightly squeezed, and the suction power around him was greatly reduced.
Zuan only felt light all over, and couldn’t help sighing: “It seems that you still want us to succeed subconsciously.”
Wu Geng snorted coldly: “It’s useless to have friendships. If you can’t tell what to do, then wait for it to be destroyed.”
Zuan quickly replied: “Your purpose of designing this secret realm is mainly to leave the truth about what happened in the past, and to wash away the many infamy from the Shang Dynasty; and to see if there is any way to do it under the deadlock of the year. Seek that ray of life.”
“So what? Although you have accomplished the former, you are still a little short of the latter.” Wu Geng said coldly.
Zuan smiled: “Do you remember that Fei Lian evil came to father and son?”
Wu Geng was puzzled and frowned, “Remember, they were promoted by you from the poor, and they are considered loyal. If the battle just now continues, the battle of Muye will die in the evil, Fei Lian Although he escaped, he was determined to turn the tide all his life, but his power was too weak and he didn’t make any waves after all.”
Zu’an replied: “Although Fei Lian did not succeed in turning against the Zhou in his life, he planted a seed and passed it on from generation to generation. Fei Lian is the ancestor of the Qin people, and the Zhou Dynasty will be destroyed by the hand of Qin in the future. ! The number of people in Zhou’s generation is committed to unswervingly shang shang, and only then succeeded in destroying shang; this is also true of Fei Lian.”
“Feilian is the ancestor of the Qin people?” Wu Geng was taken aback, closed his eyes, and seemed to be searching for some information quickly.
After a while, he suddenly opened his eyes and laughed loudly: “Fei Lian raised his wicked son, the female defense, and the female defense gave birth to Pangao. Pangao gave birth to too many, and Taiji gave birth to Daluo, Daluo. Feizi was born, Feizi established Qin State, and Qin State will destroy Zhou in the future, hahaha, wonderful, really wonderful!”
Zuan secretly called luck. If it weren’t for the existence of Empress Mili of Daqin, he wouldn’t have been so clear about these relationships. So he saw Fei Lian evil come to father and son before, and immediately reused them. At that time, he also wanted to use them as a back hand. Unexpectedly, it was actually used.
Wu Geng completely put his hands away, and slowly landed from the air to the ground, and everything that had collapsed around him fell into a static state.
He looked at Zu’an with a complicated expression: “You really surprised me that there was such an arrangement. Although this is not a direct change of fate, changing the ending of the era of business and destruction. But even if you change, what will happen after all. Everything is in the world of trials and is false, and can’t affect the reality at all. It’s not comparable to the fact that the descendants of Fei Lian in history have been extinct.”
Zu’an arched his hands: “It’s just a fluke. After all, the prince holds the hope for the tester in his heart, and that has given us so many opportunities.”
Wu Geng nodded slightly: “Yes, it’s not quite complacent. If my father was as humble as you back then, it wouldn’t have caused everyone to betray their relatives.”
Zuan didn’t mix it up. People said that his father was okay, but he said it was easy to get in trouble: “I don’t know if we have passed this trial?”
Wu Geng didn’t look at him, but asked in a deep voice: “Answer my last question, why did you know the “Phoenix Nirvana Sutra” of the Zhou royal family? Could it be that you have also entered the secrets of the Zhou Dynasty?”
He didn’t suspect that the other party was a descendant of the Zhou royal family. After all, this guy chopped Ji Chang and his son directly into meat sauce during the trial. How could there be such a shameful descendant.
As for the “Hongmeng Yuanshijing” of the Qin king’s family on the opponent, he is not familiar with it, so he is not so sensitive.
Feeling the flash of murderous intent in the opponent’s eyes, Zuan cautiously replied: “I haven’t been in the Zhouren’s trial, but a senior who has gone in. By coincidence, it made me cheaper.” He roughly regarded Mi’s affairs. Said it again.
“That’s good, that’s good.” Wu Geng laughed loudly: “It seems that you really have a deep blessing and are qualified to accept the inheritance of our Shang Dynasty, then continue.”
Speaking of throwing a bronze book coupon over, Zuan took it and saw the big characters on the top of the bronze coupon: “Gourmet Swallowing Heaven”!
“This is the reward for you to pass the trial,” Wu Geng said, “The Gourmet Swallowing Heaven Artifact is the supreme treasure that was only qualified to practice by the princes of the Shang Dynasty. It is much more powerful than Zhou’s “Phoenix Nirvana”. How could Dashang lose to Zhou Ren in this respect!”
Hearing the unhappiness in his tone, Zu An couldn’t help but feel happy. It seems that this guy’s resentment towards Zhou people is really against him.
He hurriedly asked: “What about my companion? Can she practice this thing? What reward does she have?”
Wu Geng said faintly: “Only King Shang can practice the “Gourmet Swallowing Heaven Art”, she naturally can’t. But you don’t have to worry, she will also gain.”
Speaking of flying a piece of luminous jade into Pei Mianman’s hands, Wu Geng explained: “This is a heavenly wisdom jade, which can absorb the vitality of the heavens and the earth and make the cultivation work more effective. There is also another function, as long as the jade is not sold, even if the body is dead. , The soul can still be immortal.”
Pei Mianman put this jade into the palm of his hand, feeling that his soul has been greatly nourished, and he can imagine how helpful it is to cultivation. And listening to the meaning of the other party’s words, this seems to be equivalent to having a second life?
Wu Geng continued: “In addition, through this jade, you can get the approval of the owl at the entrance of the trial. It is also a powerful magic weapon. You are a good wife in a previous life, and you are a perfect match.”
Pei Mianman’s eyes lit up: “Thank you, Prince!”
“I should be thankful to you,” Wu Geng waved his hand, “Go away by yourself, I, a sinner, finally has the face to worship the ancestors in the Taimiao…” After speaking, he turned and left with a lonely expression. The figure gradually turned into nothingness.
