Chapter 573
----

It has to be said that killing all the people surnamed Xiang and Liu in Sishui County is the most straightforward method. Although there is some blood in the process, those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters.

For the three giants in the county who have manifested the true spirit of the three ancient poisonous dragons, they only need to keep the true spirit of Xun Shaoyu in the territory of Sishui County and within the territory of the twelve capitals of Xian Qin.

Cutting off Xun Shaoyu's path to [Shattering the Vacuum] in one fell swoop not only avenged Xun Shaoyu's blood revenge for killing the evil dragon Wuyu, but also a great victory between the Dragon Clan and the Taoist Sect.

"It's a pity that although the method of eradicating the grass and roots is simple, no one will let us take action." County Governor Yin Tong looked lonely, and like the two brothers, he generally did not have any expectations for this method.

"It is destiny for Liu and Xiang to replace Qin, and it is also destiny for Immortal Qin Zulong to take charge of humanity. Zulong still wants to keep Liu and Xiang's people to appease those great supernatural powers who are impatient with the orthodoxy of Xianqin."

"If there are no people with the surnames Liu and Xiang, there is no guarantee that others will not change their names and inherit the destiny of the White Emperor and the Red Emperor. The introduction of time is like a dragon entering the sea, and all the eyes of great supernatural powers will also focus on it. On the body of Immortal Qin Zulong.”

The three giants in the county knew what was at stake. No matter whether it was public or private, there was no room for them to eradicate the situation.

Moreover, with the laws of Xian Qin on top, a county guard would not be allowed to kill the people under Xian Qin's rule like this. The so-called county magistrate who ruins the family and the county guard who exterminates the clan. The county guard has the ability to destroy the clan, but it does not mean that Have the right to kill a whole family.

County Superintendent Fan Shichang sighed, and said softly: "Brother, maybe we are too anxious... That kid's ability is not necessarily inferior to the innate way, and Yuanshi Tianzun is covering up the secrets, and he is dedicated to hiding and hiding. I want to find that kid within a short time, and I am still a little anxious."

"After all, there are still hundreds of thousands of years before the death of the ancestor dragon, and there is still a long time to come. That boy was ordered by Yuan Shi to stir up trouble in Xian Qin. It may take one, two, ten, or eight years to reveal his clues. But I don’t believe he can keep wasting it.”

The words from Fan City woke up the dreamer, making Yin Tong and Zhang Yuan suddenly realize that the key now is no longer the hatred between the ancient Poison Dragon and the two, but what is more important is Yuanshi Tianzun and Zhulong. The game of Hunyuan Wuji.

If Xun Shaoyu wants to successfully become an anti-Qin force, it is impossible to hide safely between Liu and Xiang, and how can he accumulate anti-Qin forces without taking the lead.

But as soon as he shows up, Xun Shaoyu becomes a ready target. The Yin Tong trio attracted by his momentum will never give Xun Shaoyu a second chance to hide.

"Um……"

County Governor Yin Tong nodded gloomily and said, "My third brother's words are reasonable, but I still don't believe it. If that kid can hide for a while, how can he hide for a lifetime?"

"There are still more than [-] years in the future. We have plenty of time to play cat and mouse with that kid. It's best that the kid doesn't get caught by me."

In an instant, cold murderous intent bloomed in the main hall of the governor's mansion. The hearts of everyone within thousands of miles suddenly sank, as if they were being stared down by a ferocious beast. The indescribable feeling of heart palpitations made people want to vomit blood. .

…………

The murderous intentions lurking in the capital city of Kuaiji cannot affect Xiaxiang County, which is millions of miles away, let alone Xun Shaoyu, who appears to be unremarkable in Xiangfu in Xiaxiang County.

In Xicheng, Xiaxiang County, in the inner courtyard of the Xiang Mansion and the Xiang Family Ancestral Temple, the patriarch Xiang He, who is over 200 years old, is leaning on the Taishi chair with his eyelids drooping slightly, looking like he is sleeping but not sleeping.

"Hu! Hu! Hu!"

As Xiang He exhaled and inhaled, a stream of pure white air came out of his mouth and nose, stirring in the air and making sudden echoes. The power in it was extremely restrained, and there were faint sonic booms.

Under such a climate, no matter whether they are great masters in cultivation or not, no one with some knowledge dares to underestimate this white air. This white air burst out one by one, with the unpredictable power of thunder. .

During the time of Immortal Qin, people were like crucian carp crossing the river. There were countless masters and powerful people. The average life span of people reached three hundred. There were many people who lived for more than one or two thousand years, and there were also many who lived for ten or twenty thousand years.

The leader of the Xiang clan can live for more than [-] years. He is already a top-notch strongman in this area of ​​Xiangxiang County. He is worthy of being the anchor of the Xiang clan.

In the ancestral hall, there are images of ancestors hanging high, some of them are heroic generals, some are officials, some are elegant literati, some are rough and heroic, there are hundreds of images.

Each one was as thick as a child's arm, each one a foot or two inches long, like logs of sandalwood, inserted into the bronze cauldron behind the patriarch, with a few wisps of green smoke lingering around for a long time.

"granduncle,"

Xun Shaoyu, dressed in a green shirt and fine clothes, stood beside the patriarch Xiang He. He took a look at the bronze cauldron and saw that only half of the sandalwood was left. The ashes had accumulated in a pile. He also saw that the patriarch Xiang He had not moved for a long time. He couldn't help but call out softly.

This piece of sandalwood only lasts for half a day. Xun Shaoyu has been waiting for Xiang He since the sandalwood first rose. He stood in the ancestral hall for an hour, which was quite like Cheng Menlixue.

"Ok?"

Finally, at Xun Shaoyu's call, Xiang He responded softly, raised his eyelids a little, glanced at Xun Shaoyu casually, and stroked his long beard with one hand.

"Hey, it's Changming,"

Xiang He looked at Xun Shaoyu blankly as if he had just woken up. He thought for a moment and then suddenly read out Xun Shaoyu's name in this life. Xiang Changming was Xun Shaoyu's name in this life.

"That's the boy," Xun Shaoyu treated the Xiang clan leader with great respect, not only because Xiang He was his great-uncle in this life, but also because Xiang He had indeed taken good care of him.

Not to mention other things, Xun Shaoyu's study of the Immortal Qin Dharma Scripture was the most treasonous and unethical in the eyes of the ancient Chu general Xiang.If Xiang He hadn't been so tolerant and replaced with a slightly stricter and iron-faced clan leader, it wouldn't have been just the Xiang clan's lineage that criticized him.

Even though the Xianqin legal network was overwhelming, it could not withstand the lynchings of families one by one. Xiang He really wanted to kill Xun Shaoyu. In order not to expose his hiding place, Xun Shaoyu had no choice but to surrender and invite the Xianqin army to suppress him. It means killing, beating and punishing at will.

However, Xiang He turned a blind eye to Xun Shaoyu's study of the Dharma Scriptures of the Immortal Qin Dynasty. He did not really punish Xun Shaoyu and allowed Xun Shaoyu to read the Dharma Scriptures safely for three years. 》.

No matter what the Xiang clan leader had in mind, Xun Shaoyu had to recognize this favor. Regardless of the original intention, judging from the results, it helped Xun Shaoyu a lot.

"You kid, why are you coming to this ancestral temple if you don't want to read your Dharma Sutra?"

Xiang He stood up nonchalantly, stretched out, and his body bones made a crunching sound, almost like the sound of thunder, causing a sound of wind, inadvertently revealing a trace of his martial arts foundation.

Judging from Xun Shaoyu's eyesight, this unspectacular Xiang clan leader was at least a great master of martial arts who had attained the perfection of "Transcendence to Sainthood" and was only a hair's breadth away from the "Way of Heaven and Man".

"Uncle, I have been studying the "Dharma Sutra" diligently. I have read hundreds of eight thousand volumes of the laws of the Immortal and Qin Dynasties. I think I have made some achievements in the "Dharma Sutra". But there is no end to the Dharma. I have now reached a bottleneck and have been unable to cross this road. threshold."

Xun Shaoyu bowed his hands and said: "I know that my uncle is very knowledgeable. What he has seen and understood is a hundred times a thousand times better than this kid. I hope that my uncle will not hesitate to teach me and show me a clear path so that I can further my studies."

The "Dharma Sutra" of Xian Qin is so extensive and profound that it is not only filled in by powerful legalists of all ages, but also deduced by an ancestral dragon named "Hunyuan Wuji".

Seemingly a series of legal provisions, in the eyes of the legalists, they are actually a series of superior methods, from which the talented people can comprehend the truth and understand the fundamental magic of legalism.

It is because of the wonder of Xun Shaoyu's "Hunyuan Dao Fruit" and the supreme wisdom of understanding the "Dharma Sutra" that he has been in a trance day and night for three years, still knowing it but not knowing why.

Being able to understand one or two true meanings of Xian Qin's "Dharma Scripture" is because Xun Shaoyu's own Taoism is profound and unpredictable, and he is condescending with the "Hunyuan Dao Fruit", so he can understand so many true meanings.

Xiang He slowly walked to the memorial tablets of the Xiang family's ancestors. After pondering for a moment, he shook his head and said with a smile, "You boy, you are decisive in dealing with things. You are a person who can achieve things."

"You dare to sneak into the legal family and give up your ancestral military inheritance. With this courage, I don't know whether you are ignorant and fearless, or you are born stupid and bold?"

"However, you can stand in the ancestral hall and wait for me for an hour. With this patience, you can be said to have a strategy in mind."

"I'm ashamed, I don't dare to praise my great-uncle," Xun Shaoyu humbly replied from the side, his face was very plain, and he did not comment on Xiang He's praise.

Xiang He said slowly: "The Book of Dharma is the foundation of Xian Qin's governance. If you can familiarize yourself with the Book of Dharma of Xian Qin, it will be of great benefit to you in the future. At least your future in Xian Qin will be guaranteed."

"It's just that I studied military strategism and don't know much about Legalism. The suggestions I can give you are limited. I'll just say it, so you can just listen to it!"

Xun Shaoyu saluted again and said: "I hope my uncle will not hesitate to teach me. I will listen attentively in the morning. I will remember what my uncle said in my heart. I will not dare to miss a word and follow my uncle's words to the letter."

Xiang He seemed to nodded with satisfaction and said: "Okay, okay, since you sincerely ask for advice, I can't keep it secret. If I can really tell you, can I still tell you?"

They are all of the Xiang family, and with the family blood as the link, Xiang He also hopes that there will be more people in his family who can carry the cauldron, and contribute to the growth of the Xiang family.No matter how good the older generation of the Xiang family is, if there is no one from the younger generation to take over, the huge family fortune will be ruined.

You must know that Xiang He is known as the "Silver Fox of the Lower Prime Minister". He is a scheming and sophisticated man. He is proficient in military strategy, one of the four ways of military strategism, and his vision of people is extremely precise and sophisticated.

Xun Shaoyu's study in Legalism allowed Xiang He to see another way out for the Xiang family, a path that was completely different from the Xiang family's military strategy. This was the reason why Xiang He looked at Xun Shaoyu in a different light.

Xiang He put his palms together and smiled and said: "As the saying goes, it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. You have indeed read through the Xianqin Dharma Scripture in the past few years, but after all, you have lacked some real practice."

"The legalist method, although it emphasizes that no rules make a square and a circle, a square is a square, and a circle is a circle, but if you haven't experienced it yourself, how can you talk about the way of rules, squares and circles, and understand the essence of Legalism?"

Xiang He's tone was slightly heavier and he said: "Legalism is, after all, the teachings of the Immortal Qin Dynasty. It is not easy to master it. This requires your daily accumulation and combining it with the [-] volumes of the Dharma Sutra that you have read in the past. You will naturally be able to He shines brightly in the field of law."

"Then, what does your uncle mean?" Hearing this, Xun Shaoyu nodded thoughtfully. A thought stirred in his heart, and he had some idea of ​​Xiang He's advice, so he couldn't help but ask.

"If you want to make a breakthrough in Legalism, you will not succeed by studying hard. I will give you two options. These two options are two different paths, which may be suitable for you now."

Xiang He did not wait for Xun Shaoyu to ask, and said to himself: "The way of Legalism is the way to help the world. It is said that there is no square and circle without rules. The law means the rule of the square. Therefore, the law is used for the people, and the law is used for the country. .”

"When the law is used for the people, it is natural to abandon the prosperity of external things, study the Legalist way, and improve the "Dharma Sutra" of Xian Qin in depth, in order to realize its own 'legends'; and when the law is used for the country, it is to become The officials of Xian Qin must first practice the laws of Xian Qin, and only then can they know the advantages and disadvantages of Xian Qin's laws."

"The two paths are different. It depends on whether you want to control the power of Xian Qin in order to understand the magical functions of public weapons, or whether you can endure loneliness and write books and make your name passed down through the ages."

These are the two ways out that Xiang He pointed out to Xun Shaoyu. One is to write books and establish theories, strive to become a great sage in the county, and raise a reputation in the county. The other is to become a small official of Xian Qin and work in the system of Xian Qin. After a lot of hard work, at least it will be smooth until the county level.

With the power of the Xiang family, it is simply a piece of cake to arrange clan members to join the ranks of officials at the pavilion and township levels. Even the starting point cannot be too low, at least it is an upper-middle level.

In response to this, Xun Shaoyu was silent for a moment and replied leisurely: "I have been growing up for a long time, and I am full of vigor. I don't want to stay in the mountains empty-handed and live up to what I have learned. I am willing to be a small official of Xian Qin and borrow the tools of Xian Qin to participate in the war." Understand the methods of Immortal Qin."

"Well, if you have this ambition, it will not only be of great benefit to you, but also make some contributions to the Xiang family. It can also be regarded as adding some prestige to the official reputation of our Xiang family." Xiang He was not surprised by Xun Shaoyu. It would be really strange for a young man to choose to live in seclusion in the mountains and study hard.

"Although my Xiang family is not a high-ranking family, the Xiang family has settled in Xiangxiang County for more than dozens of generations and has accumulated many years of personal connections. It may not be able to help with real big things, but a little help can still help. Up."

"If you want to get an official position in the Sixth House of Xiaxiang County, it may not be easy, but it is easy for my Xiang family to get a job as a steward in a certain pavilion or township."

　I work overtime and don't get off work until eight o'clock. The update is late.
