Yuan Shi Tian

Chapter 560
----

Jiuzhou in a miserable state, Lu State in Yuzhou, Yeting, the capital of the country, Lingyan Pavilion!

A golden scroll hangs high in front of the tablet of the God Lord, and a benevolent Zhanlu Sword hangs quietly beside the golden scroll. The two treasures are filled with golden light, and their dense aura is hidden but not revealed.

Layers of prohibitions flashed away in the void of Lingyan Pavilion. The densely packed avenue prohibitions with no dead ends were slowly revealed as the energy of the two treasures, the Golden List of Conferred Gods and the Zhanlu of Ren Dao, floated.

Eight Conferring God Platforms guard the perimeter of Lingyan Pavilion, and a god of weapons and generals in gold and silver armor rises and falls in the Conferring Gods platform, and the sound of fighting seems to be heard from time to time.

Since the establishment of the Conferring Gods Platform, the millions of divine soldiers carried by the eight major Conferring Gods Golden Platforms are all heroic spirits who died on the battlefield after Xun Shaoyu raised his troops. Their loyal souls remain intact and become the divine soldiers protecting the law on the Conferring Gods Platform.

After nearly twenty years of conquests in the south and north, the loyal souls of the entire Lu Kingdom were gathered on the eight god-conferring platforms. As a result, each of the god-conferring platforms contained indescribable power.

Once it breaks out, not only the gods and demons who have proved immortality, but also the strong men who have forged the supreme Tao Fruit, the immortal Tao Fruit will be completely shattered under this vast divine power.

"Hush--"

An old man was dressed in coarse cloth and plain clothes, sitting cross-legged in front of the tablet of the God in the Lingyan Pavilion. His eyes were slightly closed, and there seemed to be a trace of fresh air flowing between his eyes, ears, mouth, nose and seven orifices with each exhalation and inhalation.

Vaguely, an image of an ancient thunder god with a dragon's head and a human body appeared on the old man's body, holding a drum, urn and hammer in his hand. Thunder clouds were ringing around him.

This thunder god statue can be said to be the place where the old man's life and life are intertwined. The terrifying thunder aura contained in it can flatten hundreds of miles of earth with just a trace, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it will cause earth-shattering earthquakes.

This is no longer the power that can be comprehended by the [Earth Traveling Immortals] series. To have such a majestic thunder god, it must be the Taoist celestial beings, or the number of martial arts gods and demons.

Not in vain to practice hard all his life, Wen Yuanming finally, with the help of Lu Guoguoyun, took a crucial step on the road of practice, and has since become immortal.

And Wen Yuanming, who has taken this step, is himself the pillar supporting the sky of Lu State. Without the Golden List of Gods and the Zhanlu of Humanity, Wen Yuanming can dominate the land of Yuzhou by himself.

"Grandpa,"

The palace door of Lingyan Pavilion slowly opened, and the person who walked in was a handsome young man with luxurious clothes, red lips and white teeth. After stepping on the threshold of Lingyan Pavilion, Lingyan Pavilion was full of prohibitions, and he seemed like a breeze blowing in front of the young man. generally.

This is the root of the myriad prohibitions in the young man's blood, so he can freely come and go amidst the dense prohibitions. Others are heavenly beings, gods and demons, so they must be careful in Lingyan Pavilion.

"Grandson, please see your grandfather,"

This young man still had a bit of immaturity in his brows, and he bowed respectfully to the old man. Although his behavior and words and deeds were a bit green, he already had a hint of the general atmosphere.

"Well... I'm coming to see Azu tomorrow,"

Just when the palace gate of Lingyan Pavilion was opened, the old man sitting cross-legged in the center of Lingyan Pavilion slowly opened his eyes, with traces of light flickering in them, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The old master heard that the third heavenly eye between Yuanming's eyebrows seemed to be intertwined with thunder. When he saw this young boy, he couldn't help but show a kind and kind look on his face, and asked softly: "Ming'er, I have something to do." Are you here to see me in Lingyan Pavilion? Or are you unsure about state affairs and want to ask me about my strategy?"

This young boy is none other than Xun Shaoyu, the only blood heir left in the Lu State. He is now the hegemon of Yuzhou and the new king of the Lu State, Xun Tianming.

Xun Tianming came to the throne two years ago. He respected Xun Shaoyu, whose whereabouts were unknown, as his "master father". Mrs. Etai, Si Langhuan, listened to the government from behind the curtain, and important ministers from all walks of life assisted her, making the huge Lu Kingdom more and more powerful. .

After all, as the pillar of the Lu Kingdom, the old master Wen Yuanming was not only a monarch and minister to the new king Xun Tianming, Xun Tianming's biological mother was Wen Yuanming's granddaughter, and they had an unbroken blood connection.

If it weren't for the strong support of this old grand master, after Xun Shaoyu gave up his position as king and traveled across the vast ocean for ten years, it would be difficult for the state of Lu to maintain its current state.

It is also with the help of a group of veterans headed by Wen Yuanming that Lu Guo can grow and develop step by step under the watchful eye of wolves, and firmly sit on the position of the overlord of Yuzhou.

Xun Tianming, as the young master, was silent for a moment and said: "Grandpa, the state affairs are assisted by ministers, and my grandson has no shortage of strategic plans. Our country of Lu was once in great chaos, but now it is in great order."

"The destiny of the country is stable, everything is in order, and my grandson has no doubts about national affairs!"

Xun Tianming, who was only nine years old, shook his head and said: "My grandson has read the history of the country. He knows how difficult it was for your father to raise an army from Nancai, and he also knows how difficult and dangerous it is for your father to start a business. However, he often has doubts about something and cannot resolve them for a long time."

Hearing this, Wen Yuanming smiled softly and said, "What doubts Ming'er has is difficult to explain. Although it is clear that Azu has experienced more ups and downs than Ming'er, maybe he can solve Ming'er's doubts."

"My grandson has a lot to do with grandpa,"

Xun Tianming bowed and sat on the ground. After glancing at the two treasures enshrined in Lingyan Pavilion, he then turned his attention to Wen Yuanming, his young face full of seriousness.

After ten years of national destiny, these two treasures have become more and more mysterious and obscure. Except for a trace of golden light that dances from time to time, they are just like two ordinary objects.

Although the two treasures are important weapons of the country, even Xun Tianming, as the new king of Lu State, cannot play with them all the time. The most important thing is to prevent the mysterious power emitted by the two treasures from injuring Xun Tianming, the young master.

However, Xun Tianming had been frequenting Lingyan Pavilion since he was a child. He had long been familiar with these two fourth-grade treasures that shocked Yuzhou, so naturally he no longer had any curiosity.

Xun Tianming looked serious and said: "My grandson has read the history of the country, the history of the Yin Dynasty, and the history of other countries. He will always be able to see a born god-man. He can defeat ten thousand armies with one force, and one person can destroy a city and a country."

"It's just that the martial arts saint suppresses a country, the gods, gods and demons suppress a state, and the Emperor Yin is supreme and respected by all nine states. But my grandson doesn't know how the strength of the force has anything to do with the strength of the country, and how it has anything to do with the well-being of the people? "

"My grandson has read all the histories. He knows that a big country has millions of armored men and thousands of chariots. The country is rich and the people are strong, so it is a big country. But a small country has only a hundred thousand soldiers and thousands of chariots. The country is small and the people are weak. distinguish."

As he spoke, Xun Tianming frowned tightly and said: "However, among the princes, the small ones in China can obtain the famous weapons of a great country because of the presence of gods and men in the world. But the princes with great powers, because they do not have martial arts The sage was in charge of the dynasty, but he was repeatedly blackmailed by people from small countries."

"In this Jiuzhou world, big countries, small countries, strong countries, and weak countries are not divided by the number of people, rich and poor, but by the strength of the world's military force, and then divided?"

Hearing Yuanming's pale beard and hair automatically fluttered in the wind, he smiled and said: "Ming'er wants to ask, which one is more important, national power and people's livelihood, or national power and force?"

"Yes, my grandson just wants to ask whether there is a difference between national power and military force. My grandson learns strategies to govern the country and bring peace to the people, and he also learns martial arts to strengthen his body. Both of them have their weight. My grandson wants to know what should be done. What’s the focus?”

Xun Tianming looked directly at Wen Yuanming. Whether one's personal force is strong or not has little benefit to the people of the country. The people of the country will not have enough to eat or wear warm.

The strength of a person's force is only the standard for measuring a country's national destiny. Without a real strongman to suppress the national destiny, no matter how prosperous and powerful a country is, it is just a bunch of 'meat pigs', waiting to be slaughtered at any time.

"National power and military power," Wen Yuanming smiled while stroking his beard, and said, "To be able to think about this problem tomorrow is to have entered into the three flavors of the way of being a king, and it has never been thought of by anyone before."

"This is very good. When you read history, you must read it with your own questions. Using copper as a mirror can correct your clothes and clothes, and using history as a mirror can help you understand gains and losses. Everything in the world is similar."

"Tomorrow, you should know where the Xun family of Lu State came from. The Xun family started as a charioteer in front of the emperor. After several generations of hard work, the Xun family was granted the title of prince by the emperor."

"After that, the ancestors of the Xun family worked hard to open up the wild land of Yuzhou. After Xuanzi, Jianzi, and Xiangzi worked hard for several generations, they were able to become nobles, uncles, and marquises. Finally, at the time of Wuhou, Wuhou used his His illustrious martial arts skills laid the foundation of Yuzhou’s hegemony in one fell swoop, and this was the path to the prosperity of the Xun clan and Lu state.”

Xun Tianming cupped his hands and bowed to the gods enshrined in Lingyan Pavilion, and said: "Grandson knows that it is not easy for our ancestors to start a business, so I dare not slack off for a day, and I am always trembling, so I can't sleep at night because of it."

Wen Yuanming shook his head and said: "I said so much to Ming'er not to let Ming'er know that it is not easy for our ancestors to start a business, but to tell Ming'er a truth. Without force, there is no national power. With strong force, it is inevitable It means a strong country, a big country.”

"The so-called theory that the country is rich and the people are strong, and the people are strong and the country is rich, is just a top-down strategy to fool the people and fool the people. Without the deterrence of strong force, no matter how vast the territory is, no matter how many military vehicles and armors, it is just a piece of land that can be slaughtered by others. Just 'carrion'."

"Therefore, the so-called importance of national power needs to be backed by force. A big country without force is just a pile of sandcastles on the beach. Any impact will shatter the fortress built of sand and gravel."

Xun Tianming nodded with understanding and said to himself: "Therefore, the princes of the nine states in the world use force to establish a country and use force to stabilize the country. If my grandson wants to rule a big country, he must first have strong force!"

Wen Yuanming perhaps felt Xun Tianming's disappointment, and sighed: "Hey... although the princes of the nine states defended Emperor Yin and respected him as the most respected one among the ninety-nine, how could Emperor Yin convince everyone if he did not have peerless military power? A prince and overlord surrenders?"

It has been ten years since Xun Shaoyu abdicated his position as king. During these ten years, the reason why Lu State has been able to remain as strong as ever is that in addition to the few great soldiers who are the foundation of the country, there is also Wen Yuanming. The merit of the Taoist heavenly beings intimidating a state.

"Force, national strength,"

Xun Tianming walked out of Lingyan Pavilion with a vague understanding. Wen Yuanming's words had extraordinary significance to Xun Tianming, who was like a flower in the greenhouse, and revealed a cruel reality to Xun Tianming.

As the young master of the Lu Kingdom, Xun Tianming was not like Xun Shaoyu. He experienced cruel strife and gradually ascended to the position of king.Xun Tianming can become the king only because he is Xun Shaoyu's only blood heir, and there is no second suitable candidate to compete with him.

Therefore, Xun Tianming does not have Xun Shaoyu's tenacity at all, nor does he have Xun Shaoyu's innate ruthlessness to achieve his goals by any means necessary.

And these are the qualities that Xun Tianming lacks the most as a monarch. An excellent monarch cannot be like a humble gentleman. A truly powerful monarch should be like a wolf and a tiger, with the ambition to devour the world.

People who are as weak as sheep, or people who are weak-minded, no matter how much they love the people as their own children, they will not be able to avoid being called a coward or a mediocre king, and will be nailed to the pillar of shame in the long river of history.

In this regard, Wen Yuanming and all the ministers of the Lu State knew very well that if Xun Shaoyu was still the king of the Lu State and personally took charge of the Lu State's power with Xun Shaoyu's cold temperament and ruthless tactics, the national power of the Lu State would be at least as high as Can go up two or three more steps.

Zheng——

Just when Wen Yuanming was feeling emotional, Rendao Zhanlu Sword, which had been enshrined in Lingyan Pavilion for ten years, suddenly emitted a strong sword sound, and the sound of the sword penetrated directly into Wen Yuanming's mind.

This fourth-grade peerless divine weapon seemed to have received some kind of traction, perhaps because it sensed the arrival of the 'master', a trace of the sword Guangzi Rendao Zhanlu sword floated up, and the sword body trembled uncontrollably.

If it weren't for the numerous prohibitions in Lingyan Pavilion, the space in Lingyan Pavilion would have been sealed off at the moment Rendao Zhanlu's sword sounded. I'm afraid that the sound of the sword would have spread throughout the capital of Lu State.

"Ok?"

Wen Yuanming's brows jumped, and he looked at the thousands of prohibitions that appeared in Lingyan Pavilion and the benevolent Zhanlu Sword hanging in front of the tablet of the God Lord, and the third third eye opened and closed uncertainly.

"Rendao Zhanlu rang for no reason, could it be... that Marquis Wu is back?"

The first time he saw Rendao Zhanlu Jianming, Wen Yuanming had a guess that surprised and delighted him.Although this guess was somewhat absurd, Wen Yuanming still subconsciously believed that this was the most likely possibility.

Zheng!Zheng!Zheng!
Rendao Zhanlu Sword seemed to feel the tremendous suppression of the sound of the sword under countless prohibitions. Rendao Zhanlu Sword buzzed endlessly, and a trace of sword light spread with pure destructiveness.

This ultimate sword light of destruction emerged on the Rendao Zhanlu Sword, and the three-inch void around Zaza collapsed layer by layer, like a deep and inexplicable black hole, swallowing up everything around it.

Seeing the destructive sword light swinging from Rendao Zhanlu's sword, Wen Yuanming's expression suddenly changed and he said, "Not good."

It should be noted that the extreme of benevolence is the extreme of destruction, and the extreme of destruction is where benevolence lies. This is the so-called extreme of things, otherwise this Zhanlu Sword of benevolence would not become a fourth-grade peerless magic weapon.

With this terrifying sword light of the benevolent Zhan Lu Sword, once it breaks out, not to mention Lingyan Pavilion, the entire Lu Kingdom may be razed to the ground.

And this was the result of Wen Yuanming, a Taoist heavenly man, exerting all his strength to suppress it, but Ren Dao Zhanlu Sword was unable to exert its full sword power.
