"There is also a rebellion within the Ming Dynasty. The Red Sect rebels were originally insignificant, but now they have strong troops and abundant supplies, and they have the potential to form a separate regime."
Zhao Lu glanced at Zhao Yan again, as if he had guessed something.
Of course the latter would not admit it, with a "look at what I'm doing" face.
"In short, all countries have a lot of small fights, and there is nothing to do with their muscles."
"Generally, the trend is still peaceful."
Zhao Yin nodded clearly.
Then his face turned serious.
"Do you know why the world of Jiuzhou has never truly achieved peace?"
His question had a meaning, and there was sadness in his eyes.
"I don't know..."
Zhao Lu shook his head and replied. He looked at Zhao Yan again, but he looked at Zhao Yin solemnly.
"Great-grandson, let me make a bold guess. Is it related to the Immortal Society, no, to Grandpa and others?"
After all, he is a martial arts practitioner, and Zhao Yan knows a lot more than Zhao Lu.
When one's martial arts reaches the extraordinary realm and the body's functions reach a certain level, it can be protected from all poisons and all evils to a certain extent, but has no effect on lifespan.
Even if he becomes a land immortal, he will only be stronger and will never be able to break through the life span limit.
But among the Immortal Society, there are so many longevity people who are nearly 150 years old.
So what is their secret to breaking through the lifespan limit...
"Yes, we people...can't necessarily be called human beings."
Zhao Yin laughed at himself.
"The destiny of the country is gloomy and the difficulties are declining, which is called the national destiny."
“The country has a bright future and is growing smoothly, which is called a prosperous national destiny.”
"Kyushu was divided into ten countries from one country, and the national destiny was also divided into ten. In the past hundred years, no country has ever truly achieved peace. That is because the national destiny of all countries has been sucked by us..."
Zhao Yan and Zhao Yan immediately looked surprised, their eyes wide open...
Suck the national destiny?
This is something unheard of.
They all know that people who practice martial arts strive for luck if they want to reach the extraordinary, but it is really incredible that some people can absorb the luck of the country and prolong their lives.
"Grandpa, do you mean that only you elders can do it, or can all the people in the Immortality Society do it?"
Zhao Yan asked hesitantly, if everyone could do it, how terrifying would the strength of the Immortal Society be?
"Of course, not everyone can get involved in the destiny of the country. Except for us, as emperors, we can absorb the destiny of the country to stay alive. Others will die if they touch it."
Zhao Yin's words made Zhao Yan feel relieved.
"What about us? For example, the emperor is now the emperor of the Song Dynasty. Shouldn't he be contaminated?"
"No, although Lu'er is the emperor, as long as I don't die, the national destiny of the Song Dynasty depends on me alone."
"...I see, but when I was in Shengjing, I saw Huang Taiji turning all of his former generals into zombies. They were quite powerful. What's the reason for this?"
"Just like my secret art of state of mind, Huang Taiji also has this kind of secret art."
"Um?"
Zhao Yan suddenly frowned deeply, and he heard the deep meaning in his great-grandfather's words.
"Grandpa, this state of mind...could it refer to the occult arts?"
"It does not refer to occult techniques, but to the secret techniques of gods and humans."
"Secret Techniques of Heavenly Beings..."
Zhao Yan murmured and repeated.
This was the first time he heard that one could obtain a secret skill in the Heavenly Realm.
The power of the secret art of heaven and man can be seen from the secret art of state of mind...
The reality of everything in front of him, coupled with the real feedback from his five senses, if he hadn't been clearly told that this was a false fantasy world, it would be really difficult not to regard this as the real world.
"That's right, as long as you pull the enemy into your mind, everything that follows will be under my control, life or death."
Zhao Yin said, stretched out his hand and patted it.
Thirty giants of different looks suddenly appeared in the square!
He is exactly the same as the thirty-year-old wise general outside.
It's just that everyone here is more than ten feet tall, and they look very oppressive.
"In the state of mind, I can create anything and give them different abilities, such as thunder..."
As the voice fell, one of the civil servants holding a jade tablet suddenly took a step forward and held the jade tablet high in his right hand.
I saw the sky suddenly darken, and a bolt of lightning several feet wide suddenly fell and struck the stone slab of the square, exploding a huge hole.
Zhao Lu stared blankly at the scene in front of him, feeling uneasy and in a trance.
"Alas, Lu'er is too weak, please retreat first."
Zhao Yin waved one hand, and Zhao Lu, who had been sitting cross-legged in front of him just now, suddenly turned into an afterimage and disappeared on the futon.
"The attack suffered in the state of mind does not hurt the body, but the soul. Once the damage to the soul reaches a critical level, the person will die."
Compared to Zhao Lu who looked at Lei Lei and became uneasy, Zhao Yan was not affected at all.
He evaluated the power of this thunder, and it was probably just a demonstration made by his great-grandfather who reduced his strength a lot.
But this secret technique that can pull the enemy into his sensory world and then attack his mind is really horrifying.
Its power is also truly terrifying.
From this point of view, Huang Taiji's secret skills of heaven and humanity are definitely not just those zombies...
There must be a more terrifying ability, but he didn't use it.
"It's just that although the secret technique of heavenly beings is powerful, the power consumed is huge national destiny."
"The reason why Kyushu has been in chaos for hundreds of years and only achieved short-term peace in the past twenty years is because in these hundreds of years, the national destiny of each country has been exhausted."
Zhao Yan suddenly raised his head, his eyes bright.
He knew he was getting close to something real.
The Immortal Society is already strong enough...
Who can be the enemy that allows them to use the national destiny to fight against them?
"The Emperor is not satisfied with being an emperor on earth. His ambitions also include heaven."
Zhao Yin raised his finger to the sky, which was obvious.
The Immortal Society not only wants Kyushu, but also the world of heaven and man...
"In areas you have never touched, the Immortal Society has been fighting with the heavenly beings for a long time."
"The last battle was twenty-three years ago. In that battle, the last heavenly gatekeeper died in the battle. The Immortal Society should have invaded the Tianmen, but it was a pity that that man destroyed the Tianmen when he died, resulting in a failure."
"In these years, the Changsheng Society has been looking for other ways to enter the Heavenly Gate. Zhang Sanfeng has the ability to open another Heavenly Gate, but he has no choice but to use his skills to solve it..."
Zhao Yan was a little stunned by his great-grandfather's barrage of shocking content.
He never thought that the truth of the world was like this.
Emperor Zun established the Immortal Society, divided and disintegrated the Qin Empire into the Nine States and Ten Kingdoms, and got nine human emperors as helpers, just to kill him in the sky...
At this moment, he couldn't help but admire this emperor who dared to think and do things.
This plan is really outrageous.
If it weren't for the fact that Kyushu would never have peace, he really wouldn't object, and even wanted to get involved.
"Great Grandpa, who is the Emperor!"
Zhao Yan asked passionately.
It's just that this question didn't get a clear answer from Zhao Yin.
"I don't know either..."
"You don't know either?"
"I once guessed it was the First Emperor... but unfortunately it wasn't."
"How can Grandpa be so sure that the Emperor is not the First Emperor?"
"Because the First Emperor is dead..."
“……”
impossible…
Zhao Yan clearly remembered Xiao Qiushui saying that Zhang Laodao had fought against the First Emperor.
"The First Emperor is indeed dead. He died in a battle twenty-three years ago, but the Emperor is still alive..."
Zhao Yin saw Zhao Yan's doubts and then explained.
"I once thought that Emperor Zun was the First Emperor, but after the First World War twenty-three years ago, I suddenly realized that the First Emperor was just Emperor Zun's puppet."
"The destruction of the puppet will naturally not affect the master's life."
"Hey, it's really ridiculous. I have been a member of the Immortal Society for nearly a hundred years, but I don't even know the emperor's true identity."
Zhao Yan could understand his great-grandfather's mood.
He would also be unhappy if it were him.
But this was obviously not the reason why Zhao Yin told him everything.
"My great-grandfather told this to his great-grandson. Could it be that you also put your hope in me to end all this?"
Zhang Laodao entrusted him with the task, and Qixia Town placed its hopes on him. Now it seems that even the ancestors are doing the same.
Otherwise, there would be no need for him to show up and explain so much.
"...Yan'er is indeed smart, but I place my hopes on your two brothers, not only you, but Lu'er as well."
"Brother Royal?"
"Of course, if you want to end the troubled times, you must use all the strength of the Song Dynasty. Otherwise, do you think killing an emperor is enough?"
"Um...too."
Even if Emperor Zun dies... there are still ten countries coexisting in Kyushu. How can peace be achieved until the annexation war ends?
"But the prerequisite for unifying the Nine Provinces is to get rid of Emperor Zun. This must be accomplished by you, Yan'er."
"why me?"
"...Because you are the reincarnation of the last gatekeeper."
“？！”
Zhao Yan was stunned for a moment, then yelled.
"What!!!"
Reincarnation of a heavenly being?
How is it possible? I obviously came from the 21st century...
And doesn’t the reincarnation of heavenly beings restore their memories at the age of eighteen?
I haven't recovered any memory at all!
He searched carefully for each fragment in his mind.
Airplane, cannon, old beauty, silly black bear...
I have everything except the memory of living in heaven.
Let alone the gatekeeper, he couldn't remember it at all.
"You don't have to be surprised. I'm not sure. After all, you don't have a heavenly pearl, and you don't meet any of the conditions for reincarnation as a heavenly being."
"But there is one characteristic that is exactly the same as that of the last gatekeeper."
"feature?"
Zhao Yan still didn't want to believe it. Although Zhao Yin's words were conclusive, all this was really unbelievable.
How could a modern person who came from time travel be the reincarnation of a heavenly being...
Could it be that my soul piercing was too powerful and destroyed the soul of that person that day?
Well…
There is no more reasonable explanation other than this.
"The gatekeeper is also a warrior who combines the three religions into one."
"That's it?"
"And like you, he doesn't need to practice. All his magic power comes from a heavenly book."
“……”
This is somewhat reasonable.
Zhao Yan had to believe it even if he didn't believe it at this time.
He always wondered where his strange ability came from.
Now that I hear this speculation, it seems to be the most reasonable explanation to say that he has the heavenly book in his body.
As for Zhao Yin knowing his secret...it's not surprising.
As the real behind-the-scenes controller of the Song Dynasty, it was strange that he could not detect it.
"Don't worry, only I know about this secret Immortality Society."
"Emperor is still sleeping now. No one will pay attention to you. It's just that you have been a bit high-profile in the past few days. If Lu'er sends another hundred thousand elite troops for you, the effect will only be counterproductive, so I stopped this idea."
When Zhao Yin said this, he raised his eyes and looked at Zhao Yan's expression.
Knowing that it was difficult for him to accept it, he reached out and clapped.
"That's it for today. It's a rare trip back. Let's go back to Zhuangzi to rest for the night. Come back to see me here tomorrow afternoon."
His mood faded instantly, and Zhao Yan returned to the Hall of Hundreds of Immortals again.
He looked at Zhao Lu sadly and pursed his lips.
"Let's go."
"Leaving now? What did Grandpa tell you?"
Zhao Lu saw him walking out and quickly followed him.
Zhao Yan's state before and after was completely different, and he was still a little worried.
"It's nothing. Grandpa said that your martial arts skills are too poor. From tomorrow onwards, you will be able to ride on horseback for an hour every day and use swords, guns and sticks for half an hour each."
"……nonsense!"
Seeing that he could still joke, Zhao Lu was somewhat relieved.
"It's getting late, so just spend the night in the palace."
The accommodation conditions in the palace were not as good as those in Sanxian Manor. In the past, Zhao Yan would not live there even if he wanted to, and would go back to sleep outside the city no matter how late it was.
But tonight he readily agreed.
"Okay, I'll go to Gongyue Palace to sleep. Brother Huang, please go back by yourself and don't worry about me."
As he spoke, Zhao Yan tiptoed and disappeared into the darkness.
Looking at the direction he was leaving, Zhao Lu shook his head helplessly, frowned and thought for a while. He still couldn't figure out why his fifth brother had changed like this, so he had to go back to the palace slowly, planning to ask more questions tomorrow.
On the other side, Zhao Yan quickly arrived in front of a small palace.
This was his residence in the palace when he was a child. Now that he has been away from the palace for many years, this palace has been tidied up and ready to move in at any time.
It's just that it was too late tonight, and the maids taking care of the palace had all fallen asleep, and no one noticed that Zhao Yan had returned to the palace.
He gently opened the door of the palace and stepped inside. The room was clean and almost spotless.
It can be seen that the emperor is still very interested in this place, even though he hardly lives here...
Zhao Yan walked to the big bed where he had slept for nearly ten years, and lay down on it with his hands spread out in a large font.
He gained a lot tonight. He has almost clearly grasped all the truth about the world of Kyushu.
If there hadn't been that last piece of news...
Tonight is a really good night.
pity…
He is now full of thoughts about the reincarnation of heavenly beings.
He had doubts about who he really was.
If he is the soul from the 21st century, then the original Zhao Yan, or the gatekeeper...
Where did they go?
Absorbed by me?
Still lost my mind...
Or is it that he is Zhao Yan, but with more memories from the 21st century?
Or can I say that he is a heavenly being in every song, but he has not recovered his memory yet.
All three guesses are possible, and the confusion makes Zhao Yan extremely annoyed.
He now desperately wants to bury himself in Wang Yuyan's warm embrace...
Let yourself forget these annoying things!
