Chapter 37: Anonymous and titled for a thousand years(1/3)
"I once heard that when Xue Andu prepared secret operation troops for the southerners, Baoyi Army had become famous for a long time.
Xue An could form a force that could compete with the Baoyi Army in just a few years, so naturally he did not start from scratch.
Instead, he borrowed a surprise soldier with a thousand-year heritage and thought he was elite."
Qingyun couldn't help but be surprised.
"Thousand-year inheritance? I originally thought that King Tan Palace of Qi was considered the earliest secret spy organization. Could it be that there were similar institutions before?"
"Oh, the secret spy army will go back to the time when King Yu of Xia was a long-term alliance.
Later, Yu spread idle people in Jiuzhou to think he was a spy.
Therefore, the word spy is explained in "Shuowen" as follows:
Spy, idle, idle. Those who are idle have nothing to do, while those who are idle are waiting for the wind, and they are all ready for out-of-time use.
Later, King Taikang of Xia lost his country to Youqiong, and the new king Shaokang relied on these idle secret spies to restore the country.
In fact, not only the Chinese used spies, but also the Vietnamese people and Daluo Kingdom.
"Zuo Zhuan" also records that when the Chu State planned to go south and the army arrived at Peng territory,
The Daluo Kingdom also sent a spy named Bojia to spy on intelligence, which caused considerable trouble to the deployment of the Chu army."
"Oh? So General Xue borrowed the spy troops of Daluo?"
"No, the spy agency of Daluo State is far less professional than the Zhou royal family, so they were defeated.
Xue Andu was incorporated by the hereditary secret spy force of the Zhou royal family - the Yingmei family."
"What the master said is the legendary mysterious unit that 'carries a sprint, and the geese pass by silently'?"
“That’s not a legend.
The Great Zhou Dynasty used the Minister of the Nine Provinces to govern the idle people, and the most elite of them was the squad of the Mei family.
Relying on this secret force, Zhou Shi has also been able to defend the country for hundreds of years.
If it weren't for the latter powerful countries such as Qi, Chu, Qin, and Yan, who had formed their own spy networks and caused irreversible erosion and destruction to the royal secret spy system that felt good and self-paralyzed.
Maybe the Great Zhou Dynasty can borrow another five hundred years from the sky.”
"How did the troops organized in the Zhou Dynasty survive until now?"
"Most of the Zhou officials were hereditary, so the official positions of the Zhou Dynasty were derived from many surnames.
The same is true for this family, whose identity and skills have been passed down from generation to generation within the clan.
Although the Zhou Dynasty's intelligence network was severely damaged by various countries,
But as the elite among the elites, the Anbu in the Anbu, their clan still survived in a low-key manner.
Survival is the first ability that a secret spy must possess.
This family has reproduced from generation to generation and occasionally shows their faces.
But every time they appear, they will change the direction of the situation. They are really a force that cannot be ignored."
"Master means that after the demise of Zhou, this force has appeared?"
"Yes! The seven kings of the Han Dynasty rebelled, and the forces of the seven kings united, and they had already passed half of the world.
Especially the power of King Wu and King Chu is the most powerful.
However, the coalition forces of Wu and Chu were rejected for several months in front of Liang, a small country.
Fang Youzhi's Later Zhou Yafu counterattacked and forced the two kings to death, causing the rebellion of the seven kings to dissolve.
At that time, people only knew Zhou Yafu's glory, but few people paid attention to the dead soldier Mei Cheng who was sent to the King of Wu's account.
Later, the rebellion of the Seven Kings was quelled, and the King of Liang wanted to use his merits to fight for the throne.
It's ridiculous that he didn't know that the army of Zhimei has always been for the sword of the emperor and not as a slave to the powerful ministers, and naturally ended up in a miserable end."
"Mi Shuwen is famous all over the world.
If you really talk about fame, you may not be weaker than Yafu's courage."
"But do you know that Mei Cheng's force is actually not inferior to Zhou Yafu?
That Mei family was a descendant of the Mei family back then.
It was only by relying on the strange troops that the Liang State fought between the Wu and Chu coalition forces that the weak were used to control the strong and did not lose the disadvantage.
And the font size of Uncle Mei is not actually based on the line of characters.
But like Tanjun, he is the hereditary title of the leader of the Mei clan."
"How come Master Juefa is so clear about these many secrets that have not been seen in the Central Plains?"
"I have not read many Central Plains history books. Except for Taishi Gong Lu Zuoshi, there is no other dabbling.
But I am crazy about martial arts, but I borrow countless martial arts books.
I understand the light skills of crossing the river with a reed, but I actually refer to a book called "Dragonfly Skipping the Water".
(The previous article "Dragonfly Skipping the Water" did not include the title of the book because there were no punctuation in ancient books)
The martial arts book is based on the Zhimei family. In addition to the martial arts skills of the light body, it records many old stories about the Zhimei family in detail, so I know more about it."
"How did the master determine that the one who comes today is the army of ranks?"
"I really can't think of anyone other than them, who can have such a means to hide more than a hundred people around them and are indescribable."
"More than a hundred people? How can the master find out the number of people hidden in the dark?"
"Although I can't see it clearly, I can't hear any abnormal movements.
But everyone's body is constant at a nearly identical temperature.
This temperature, usually higher than the surrounding area, will cause subtle changes in nearby airflow.
The number of people varies, and the degree of change caused is naturally different.
Ordinary people may not be able to detect it, but if they are used to breathing the yin, turbid, yang and bright energy and use qi to sense the heaven and earth, they can detect some of the changes in it."
Qingyun was surprised to hear it, relying on Teng Na to perceive the world?
What level should the martial arts master in front of him reach?
I'm afraid it's not enough to summarize it by being extraordinary and becoming a saint?
Juefa looked at the wonderful expression on Qingyun's face and knew what he was thinking, so he added,
"Mr. Huayang naturally has such a state,
If you take the theory of cultivation, it may still be above me.
The irritable old man in Taishi had already touched that threshold.
If his mind could be calmer, he would probably reach this level soon.
If you are interested in this, you might as well come to Maitreya Hall to sit often.
The manuscripts here can be read at any time."
Kongkongkongkong couldn't help but interrupt,
"Master Juefa's two methods of Yi Jin and Marrow Cleansing are extremely profound,
I have practiced according to the law for several years, but I have only slightly improved my physical fitness and flexibility.
But I don’t know why he can use the Tao at this level.
Alas, I'm afraid I'm not going to be able to do it.
Unfortunately, he used a set of martial arts for this.”
Speaking of this, Kong Kong Kong raised his ten fingers, clasped them into claws, and kept bounced in front of his chest.
When Qingyun saw this action, the depressed young lady suddenly flashed through her mind in a very unsatisfactory way.
Suddenly, the demons in my heart surged, and I kept muttering in my heart, Amitabha, don’t look at it if you are not polite, don’t think about it if you are not polite...
Only then did he force himself to suppress the mind-hearted monkey.
In fact, what forced him out of his thoughts was the cold reality in front of him.
"Two masters, what do we need to do now?"
Juefa smiled slightly, and replied in one's mouth,
"Although the battle is head-on, I still boast about myself.
But when it comes to hiding and killing people, it is obvious that the other party is more professional.
Even if I rush into the forest, I may not be able to find them, and I may not even dare to boast about protecting myself.
But if they want to come to the temple to cause trouble, with my familiarity with Lan Ruo, they will definitely be in a relationship without going back.
My friend thinks, what should I do?"
Kong Kongkong Kongkong was afraid that Qingyun was still unsure, so he continued to add,
"The temple has notified everyone to cover the windows with wet wipes, and each household will release a scent of awakening but poisonous fragrance.
Several disciples from the First House and Maitreya Hall have entered a state of alert.
When the preparations are completed, Master Xiongqi will ring the bell to warn the other party that they will be seen through.
If they still dare to come, they might as well fight!"
"Oh!" Qingyun finally felt relieved and asked casually.
"Then some people have arranged the defenses in the back mountain?"
He asked this because he had a slapped in the back mountain earlier today, so he was still unwilling to think about it at this time.
To be continued...
