Chapter 245 Captain, don’t shoot, it’s me
Brother A Niu was silent. He once again thought of his dead mother, wife and children, as well as his daughter who was sold to an unknown destination.
He worked hard all day long and was burdened with heavy taxes, but in the end he was unable to fulfill his humble request of protecting his family.
Da Qi was very hard on ordinary people like him, but when the imperial court encountered financial difficulties, he would only choose to suffer the people again.
But why should we suffer the people?
Why don't you see those fat and powerful dignitaries in Daqi?
They are the vested interests of Da Qi!
They got the most dividends from Daqi, why didn't they have to pay anything!
Anger burned in Brother Aniu's heart, rekindling his fighting spirit: "I will not stop fighting until Tianjing is broken!"
The roar that shook the sky successfully boosted the morale of the entire army.
The soldiers of the rebel army shouted loudly, eager to vent the anger and hatred in their hearts. They wanted to let the dignitaries of Daqi understand that cows and horses also have tempers!
After all, the rebel army was originally composed of countless people like Brother Aniu. From the moment they were born, they were destined to humble themselves in the dust.
Because the high-ranking dignitaries cannot hear the whines and prayers of cattle and horses. They can only hear the clang of swords. Only death can make them lower their arrogant heads.
Of course, the same goes for cutting it down.
A few days later, the news came back and once again proved that Ye Qingzhou's judgment of the current situation was correct.
Whether it is the marriage of a princess or the granting of a king's wish, they are nothing more than a delaying strategy for Da Qi.
The emperor of Da Qi just wanted to buy time for King Qin to mobilize troops from the border to Beijing, so that he could call on the eighteen princes to come together to put down the rebellion.
That's why he needed to temporarily stabilize Brother Aniu in order to delay the rebel army's offensive.
If it hadn't been for Ye Qingzhou's reminder, Brother Aniu, who was brave but not ambitious, would have fallen into the trap and would have been defeated and died in the end.
After that, the rebel army attacked fiercely for more than half a month, filling the trenches with countless corpses and blood, and finally broke through the magnificent city wall blocking them.
The rough hands that were originally used to wield hoes were still stained with dirt on their skin, and they were humble and weak. But at this moment, this force was united and used to overthrow Da Qi's seemingly impregnable throne.
The anger of the cow and horse is enough to overturn the chessboard.
"Kill!"
"For our suffering parents!"
"For our wives and children who died tragically!"
"For the injustice we had!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Tooth for tooth, blood for blood.
The angry cows and horses brandished crude weapons, their eyes were red, and there was only hatred in their eyes.
How the powerful people of Daqi bullied and oppressed them in the past, today they will pay it back tenfold and a hundredfold!
Revenge!
Complain if you have any complaints!
Through Brother A Niu's perspective, Ye Qingzhou witnessed with his own eyes how the torrent of the times swept away everything. The old barriers were really vulnerable to the turbulent waves.
I saw that the morale of the rebels was like a rainbow, and their fighting spirit was like a raging fire. Wherever they went, Daqi's officers and soldiers were defeated at the first touch, because they lacked the fighting spirit to die.
In contrast, most of the soldiers of the rebel army crawled out from the dead, and most of them had the belief of living towards death, because they had nothing to lose.
The city gate was breached and Daqi Tianjing fell immediately.
In the next few days, the sword was stained with blood, the public's bones were trampled all over the street, and the inner storehouse was burned to ashes.
In the imperial capital Tianjing, rivers of blood flowed in the waves of uprising, and the corpses of countless royal relatives were covered with the once prosperous streets.
It turns out that amidst the anger of the people, their lives, which once seemed so arrogant, turned out to be so fragile that they could be broken at a touch.
No matter how powerful you are and how rich you are, you will still die if your head is chopped off.
The founding hero of Da Qi was also a hero who conquered the country and the country with real swords and real guns.
It's a pity that the descendants of heroes may not be heroes, and the descendants of heroes may not become heroes. Today's powerful and powerful people in Daqi have long forgotten the glory and faith of their ancestors, and live in dreams every day.
Therefore, they were defeated, defeated at the hands of the mud-legged people who had once looked down upon them. They died and their entire family was destroyed, making the world laugh.
Ye Qingzhou saw the power of faith and fighting spirit in this, and thought deeply in his heart: "Life and death are extremely important. If you want to explore life and death, it seems that you have to start with will..."
The rebels with faith and fighting spirit almost wiped out the remnants of the old era, especially Brother A Niu, the 'number one master in the world' who was trained by Ye Qingzhou, and was an invincible general on the battlefield.
With one sword, one person can sweep through thousands of armies like a rolling mat, wipe out eighteen princes, and kill many famous generals with their heads rolling under the edge of the sword. Eventually, the four realms will surrender and the whole world will bow their heads.
In the autumn of the twelfth year of Zhengping, Da Qi fell and Da Wei rose.
Brother A Niu officially ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor in Tianjing, becoming Emperor Gaozu of the Wei Dynasty.
That night, the beautiful and supple princess of the former dynasty was sent to Brother A Niu's palace like a trophy.
And Brother A Niu also conquered the once unattainable proud woman of heaven on the bed just like he conquered the world.
The spring breeze is proud of the horse's hoof disease, and he travels all over Tianjing City in one day.
A few months after the world was settled, the daughter who was originally sold into the wealthy merchant's home as a slave also put on rich clothes and rode in a luxuriously decorated carriage to Tianjing. There was a touching father-daughter recognition. .
Brother A Niu, who became the emperor, had a complete life, so he lost the reason to fight and no longer practiced swordsmanship diligently. After all, martial arts training has always been hard work.
Now that he is a noble, he no longer needs to endure hardships in order to survive.
"Master Ye, I am already rich and dominate the world, why can't I put down the sword in my hand?"
"After fighting for half my life, can't I still enjoy it?"
Regarding Ye Qingzhou's advice and encouragement, Brother Aniu, who had passed the age of knowing his destiny, no longer obeyed because he felt that he had mastered the destiny and became the master of it.
He is no longer the homeless man who was in a mass grave with nothing but his life.
He already has the power to choose.
He has forgotten his original intention.
His fighting spirit was extinguished.
Ye Qingzhou saw all this, so he became silent and never spoke again.
In the blink of an eye, more than ten years passed.
Brother Aniu, who once rode a thousand horses on the battlefield, is already old.
Not to mention his sword, he was so old that he couldn't even hold chopsticks steady, and even breathing became very laborious.
The bright eyes became cloudy, and the black hair turned gray.
Brother A Niu waved back and asked a question he had not asked for more than ten years: "Master Ye, are you still there?"
"I'm always here."
"..."
Brother A Niu was so excited that his lips trembled and his eyes filled with tears. Without Ye Qingzhou's guidance, it would have been impossible for him to conquer the world and ascend the throne as emperor.
Perhaps, like most refugees in troubled times, they will die in some unknown corner, their bodies will be eaten by wild dogs, and eventually turn into dust.
The encounters in life are often so unpredictable.
Once upon a time, Brother A Niu relied on Ye Qingzhou's teachings to change his destiny. From a homeless refugee, he rose to the top and became the founding king of the Wei Dynasty.
Now, Brother A Niu once again longs for Ye Qingzhou's help so that he can get rid of the threat of death.
Only in this way can he live forever, rule the Wei Dynasty forever, and enjoy the overwhelming power and wealth.
"Master Ye, can martial arts lead to immortality?"
"Yes."
Brother A Niu was very excited when he heard this: "Please also ask Master Ye to teach me the supreme martial arts!"
"It's too late."
"Too late?"
Brother A Niu's expression became angry and ferocious, and he asked Ye Qingzhou: "Why didn't Master Ye mention this in the first place?"
Ye Qingzhou asked coldly: "Is there any difference between telling or not telling?"
"Master Ye! This is the crime of deceiving the emperor! If you had told the truth that martial arts can lead to immortality, how could I have neglected my practice and become old and dying today?"
"Immortality is the result of practicing martial arts to a certain level. If you aim for longevity, there is a high probability that you will not reach that level throughout your life."
"You lied! I don't believe it!"
Brother A Niu shouted loudly, he could not accept such an answer no matter what.
If martial arts can't lead to immortality, that's fine, but the road to immortality is right in front of you, why can't you take it? Is this fair?
He is the destined emperor, the founding king of the country, and the great ancestor of the Wei Dynasty!
However, Brother A Niu's power and status are no more noble to Ye Qingzhou than a weed on the roadside.
Therefore, his answer was still cold and ruthless: "Martial arts is about fighting against the sky, not letting you be a ghost guarding corpses. Back then, you had nothing, but you were able to fight with high morale, so you learned the peerless sword skills."
"It's a pity that you, who was full of fighting spirit and hard work, died at the moment when you ascended the throne and proclaimed yourself emperor. The rest of your life is just a process of constant decay of a corpse."
Ye Qingzhou's words were like a sharp knife, piercing into Brother A Niu's heart, causing him to twitch in pain.
"Master Ye, save me!"
"Master Ye, save me!"
"Master Ye..."
Brother Aniu died, and he died in a state of regret.
Ye Qingzhou just watched all this happen silently. In this world, he was just a wandering soul, unable to do anything except speak and observe.
Brother Aniu chose his destiny, so when death comes, he should not complain.
In the spring of the 18th year of Tianwu's reign, Emperor Gaozu of Wei passed away, and the whole country mourned. A legend came to an end.
"The ultimate meaning of life and death..."
Ye Qingzhou looked at Brother A Niu's entire life and had a clear understanding in his heart: "Survival is the deepest and lowest instinct of all living things. But if we just live simply, what is the difference between humans and the walking dead? The difference is faith and fighting spirit.”
If your faith is everlasting and your fighting spirit is everlasting, your soul will be eternal!
With this realization, Ye Qingzhou fell into deep thought again: "What do I want?"
Gradually, Ye Qingzhou began to search for bits and pieces of the past in his memories.
At first, he picked up the stick in the orphanage just to protect himself.
After that, he began to learn swordsmanship and gradually became addicted to it, forgetting to eat and sleep.
Because this is the only thing he can reach out to grasp in his lonely life, and it is also the only way he can get a sense of accomplishment.
"The original intention of practicing martial arts..."
Ye Qingzhou finally recalled the joy he felt when he learned his first sword move, although that move seemed crude and full of flaws to him now.
But he will never forget the joy and touch.
Zheng~
The sound of sword chants rang in his ears, and Ye Qingzhou's soul suddenly converged into a point, and then slowly expanded, turning into a burning flame, with a flawless sword heart wrapped in the flames.
"This fire will never be extinguished, and my heart will never die."
Ye Qingzhou finally succeeded in seeing through the ultimate meaning of life and death: "Between life and death, there is great terror, so only by staying true to one's determination and not forgetting the original intention can we persevere."
With a move of his heart sword, Ye Qingzhou split the sky with his wave of his hand, escaped from the environment, and appeared in front of Chi You again.
"Sure enough, you have understood the magical power of the immortal heart fire and obtained the true meaning of the immortal power."
When Chi You looked at Ye Qingzhou, an expression of approval appeared on his face: "Remember this original intention, remember this touch, this is proof that you are alive."
"Thank you, Emperor War, for your guidance. I will never forget the grace of teaching you."
Ye Qingzhou sincerely thanked Chi You.
"Being able to gain enlightenment is your own ability."
Chi You waved his hand, and then unblocked the Kingdom of God: "Now, it's time for you to leave."
After saying goodbye to Chi You, Ye Qingzhou's consciousness finally left the spiritual world and returned to his body.
On the bloody battlefield, the statues of the Five Soldiers had returned to their starting position, while Ye Qingzhou's "corpse" opened his eyes and sat up from the ground with support.
With a thought in Ye Qingzhou's mind, the wound on his chest healed automatically. After he cut himself with a sword, his condition returned to full.
After checking his body and mind, Ye Qingzhou couldn't help but sigh: "The Emperor's immortal body only made my body immortal. Now that I have become immortal, even my soul can become immortal."
This trip to Jiuli Cave Heaven, it can be said that the greatest gain is the unquenchable heart fire, followed by the burning heart and earth fire.
Of course, the soul of the Void Sun Rat is not bad either. After all, it is an important material that can be used to cast divine weapons, and its value is inestimable.
…………
At the entrance of the Baizhan Emperor's Cave, Ye Qingzhou stepped out, but was immediately hit by a wave of indiscriminate bombardment.
Fortunately, he immediately unfolded the five-color divine light and turned it into a barrier to block most of the attack damage. He also used the furnace of heaven and earth to absorb and transform the remaining energy, so he did not die under his own gun.
"One of our own, don't shoot!"
Ye Qingzhou shouted loudly.
Gu Minghui also recognized Ye Qingzhou at a glance, quickly stopped everyone, and then stepped forward and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"
"I almost got into trouble."
Ye Qingzhou complained, and then asked: "What are you doing?"
Gu Minghui immediately explained: "When we left the Baizhan Emperor's Cave, we found that you were missing, so we tried to see if we could open a gap."
"By the way, what happened just now? Why did you disappear suddenly?"
"I triggered the assessment mechanism of the War Emperor's inheritance."
Ye Qingzhou explained half-truthfully that he had obtained the profound meaning of the "Immortal Yuan Gong" from Chi You and learned the magical power of immortality. It was better to keep this matter as a trump card.
With this magical power, he can pretend to be dead with his body, escape into the spirit world with his mind, and then come back again when he is safe.
As long as the body was not cut into eight pieces and sealed separately, Ye Qingzhou could theoretically have an infinite number of lives, which was extremely unnatural.
All I can say is that it is worthy of being the inheritance of the War Emperor, but it is ridiculously strong.
In comparison, the Tiger Evil Golden Sword that Niu Taijie learned is really not even a scratch.
Gu Minghui raised his eyes and looked at Ye Qingzhou deeply for a while, then smiled and teased: "With your current strength, the Disha Grandmaster who has reached the fourth level of heaven may not be your opponent, right?"< br>
"It's easy to count by nature, it's really extraordinary."
Ye Qingzhou neither admitted nor denied, but was quite shocked by Gu Minghui's calculation ability and was curious about what else the other party saw.
Gu Minghui wasn't a big talker, so he certainly wouldn't talk about Ye Qingzhou's trump card everywhere, but he couldn't help but sigh and said: "The National High School Martial Arts League will be here in a few days. You are going to blow up the fish pond."
With Ye Qingzhou's strength, he has a chance to win the championship if he participates in master-level competitions. Participating in high school-level martial arts leagues is simply bullying.
Not to mention the contestants, I am afraid that few of the teachers leading the team can take on Ye Qingzhou's sword.
Ye Qingzhou was not very interested in competing in this level of competition, but he still said: "My cultivation level has skyrocketed recently, and I plan to take some time to settle down. I will just give myself a holiday and travel to relax."
< br>
The potential of the second-speed overclocking mode and deflagration mode has been tapped to its maximum, and its compatibility with the Tiandi oven is not very high.
Therefore, Ye Qingzhou has started to develop the third level, preparing to further tap the potential of his own heaven and earth oven, and consolidate his cultivation and realm.
…………
In Linjiang No. 1 Middle School, the return of Ye Qingzhou made the classroom of Class 7 lively again.
"Hey, are you free to come back to class now?"
Huang Liwen winked at Ye Qingzhou from the side, his eyes were quite rippling, and the raised corners of his mouth were even harder to suppress than AK.
Ye Qingzhou opened his eyes, looked at Huang Liwen for a moment, and was quite surprised: "Hey, your mountains and forests have actually been cultivated to a state of perfection?"
"Hey~"
Huang Liwen smiled proudly: "Because I have two good wives."
After saying that, he proudly showed off to Ye Qingzhou, showing off his affection crazily in front of him.
During the period after returning from the Kunlun Cave, Huang Liwen had completely mastered the magical powers recorded on the Dou Zi Seal and Xing Zi Seal. Relying on spiritual resonance and Qi to perform all kinds of magic, his cultivation level improved by leaps and bounds, so much so that Yao Yexin and Yan Xiyue invested more in him.
The two girls not only gave Huang Liwen various rare and rare things, but also personally guided him in his cultivation. The three of them gradually became inseparable, making people envious.
Ye Qingzhou looked at Yao Yexin and Yan Xiyue. These two were saints and witches from the Hehuan Sect. They had deceitful intentions. Brother Wen was afraid that he couldn't play with them, and it would be better to be played by them.
"Brother Wen, you should take better care of your dragon body in the future."
"Let me see, what do you mean?"
Huang Liwen was so angry that he gritted his teeth. Ye Qingzhou from the General Administration had something in his words and meant something.
