Chapter 124 , Bearing Shadow Sword
Chengying Sword is an exquisite and elegant sword. It is no longer possible to know who made it and when it was cast. It is only known that it was an ancient sword. It is said that when it was released, a strange scene appeared, "The dragon parted with Chengying, and the geese fell and forget to return", so it was named Chengying. One of the famous swords. It was once captured by Emperor Shang Cheng Tang, and was known as the Emperor's Three Swords together with Hanguang Sword and practiced swords at night.
During the reign of King Wending of the Great Shang Dynasty, Yu Wurong in the West caused rebellion. In order to weaken the strength of the Western Zhou Dynasty, King Wending of the Shang Dynasty adopted a policy of gentleness. He ignored it. Zhou waited for Ji Li and sent troops to quell the rebellion, forcing him to submit to Zhou. Ji Li reported the victory to Wen Ding and handed over countless prisoners of war items.
King Wending of Shang was very happy and appointed Ji Li as Pastor Yin, and gave him the Chengying Sword to take charge of the conquests in the western part of the Shang Dynasty. Later, Ji Li conquered Shi Hurong again, and Yi Tu Rong, and his reputation was greatly enhanced.
Wen Ding was frightened by this and decided to stop Zhou's development. Ji Li went to Yindu to offer prisoners to report his victory. Wen Ding gave Gui Zan and a dagger as a reward and appointed Ji Li as Xibo. Ji Li was unsuspecting. When Ji Li was about to return to Zhou, Wen Ding suddenly ordered Ji Li to be imprisoned. Soon, Ji Li died in Yindu on false charges. His son Ji Chang succeeded to Xibo and Chengying Jian returned to the Da Shang.
Ji Chang followed his father Ji Li's method and advocated "benevolent, respect the elderly, be kind to the young, and be courteous to the wise." The country's strength was greatly enhanced. Di Yi, the son of Wen Ding, also known as King Zhou of Shang, also inherited his father's fear, imitated his father's approach, recruited Xibo Jichang to Yindu for reward, and also gave Chengying Sword, named Jichang as the Marquis of Xibo, and was actually imprisoned by Yuli. During the imprisonment, Ji Chang summarized the "Innate Yi" of Fuxi, Shennong's "Lianshan Yi", and Xuanyuan Huangdi from "Dragon Armor God Chapter"
The obtained "Guizang Yi". I studied it carefully, standardized it, organized it, and interpreted it into sixty-four hexagrams and three hundred and eighty-four lines. With the hexagram and line words, it was later called the "Zhou Yi" and later generations called the "Zhou Yi" and there is also an internal mental method called the "Yi method", which is commonly known as the "Sun and Moon True Method". After Jiang Ziya, the old man in the Han Dynasty, Zhang Liang wrote the "Qi Men Dun Jia" based on him. After thousands of years of inheritance, he became the treasure of the legendary "Qi Men" sect. This is a later story.
For the Marquis of Xibo, he returned to Xiqi. San Yisheng of the Western Zhou Dynasty used a strategy to gain the trust of King Zhou. The eldest son of the Marquis of Xibo died in Yindu. Ji Chang was able to return to Xiqi and brought Chengying Sword back. King Zhou woke up and let the tiger go back to the mountain, regretted chasing him all the way, but because of the destiny of heaven, Ji Chang returned to Zhou and gave Chengying Sword to his second son Ji Fa.
Later, King Wu defeated Zhou and unified the Great Zhou Dynasty. At this point, it was passed down from all over the world. If the shadow of inheritance was obtained, he could win the world and become the emperor.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, the royal family of Zhou was declining and fell into the princes. Later, three swords were obtained by the great sword master of Wei State, Kong Zhou. After the Spring and Autumn Period, the Emperor's Sword disappeared. The First Emperor Ying Zheng toured the country several times and even sent Xu Fu to cross the east. In fact, they were all in order to seek the Emperor's Sword, and they could not find it. So they used the Heshi Bi to cast the jade seal of the country.
The Chengying Sword was not until the rebellion of the Eight Kings of Jin, the Five Barbarians invaded China, and the clothes and the clothes were crossing south, and they only reappeared in the world.
First, he wore a sword from the Heavenly King Ran Min, and promoted the Han Dynasty to kill Hu, so that the Han people in the north would not destroy the clan. Later, he gained it by Fu Jian of Qin, who claimed to be the destiny of heaven and fought south, but ended up defeating the Feishui River and chaos in the north. Nearly a hundred years of war and integration.
Chengying Sword was wandering countless times in troubled times. A hundred years ago, the Central Plains War in the late Xia Dynasty, the Chengying Sword was held by Yin Yiyan, the general of Chongtian Army. After Chen Yu betrayed the Chongtian Army, he assassinated Emperor Wen of Qin, Fu Jun, which destroyed the Qin State in the third year of new establishment. Yin Yiyan died in the Hulang Valley with the Chongtian General, and Chengying Sword was obtained by Fu Jun, the Wudi Emperor of Qin. The Qin Dynasty was able to re-establish the country. For more than a hundred years, it has been placed in the Chengying Pavilion of the Sanhe Palace as a national treasure.
Qin Emperor Fu Rui, born in Guodong Academy, studied with Zheng Shen, the eldest disciple of Liu Jingyi since childhood. He believed in Confucianism and never believed in the words of strange powers and gods. Seeing that the sword was sharp, the younger brother happened to like it very much, so he gave it to the King Yongle, whom his father favored, symbolizing the separation from the past.
Although Zhao Feibai is not smart enough to pay off, he is not stupid. He has a little bit of understanding but has a long-term character. He is patient and persevering in doing things. He can keep doing it until he understands it. He can also vaguely feel that the world is about to change, and the people at the bottom are too difficult. From Ci'en Temple in Chang'an to Donglin, and then from Donglin to Shuye, he always gives alms. Zhao Feibai can't stand the poverty of the poor people when he sees too many beggars, and in the end Zhao Feibai becomes a beggar himself.
I don’t know how the people of the Southern Jin and Southern Song Dynasty were. I have never been to the south. Looking at the north, the people of Da Shang live the best. It would be great if the world could be like Da Shang. Zhao Feibai was very yearning for Da Shang and was looking forward to it. Zhao Feibai was a little panicked. Chengying was the Emperor’s Sword, and Fu Qing snatched it so blatantly. It was lawless. Is it amazing to rely on his young marshal? These young men from aristocratic families really don’t know what they are.
There was no one around Zhao Feibai who talked to him, only Lu Yan. Zhao Feibai poked Lu Yan's shoulder, "Oh, big guy, you said you snatched Chengying Sword, is it really okay? Why are you all as safe as Mount Tai?"
Since Lu Yan saw Zhao Fei Bai Qi, he didn't like this young boy. He thought that Zhao Feibai was not loyal and thought about his own safety first. He was the one who betrayed his teammates in the back and stabbed him in the back. He was not angry at the moment, "You can't die, don't worry, you can't be involved in your head." He turned around, held a pot of tea, closed his eyes to rest.
Mo Yibai happened to retreat. Zhao Feibai looked at Mo Yibai awkwardly, and said dissatisfied, "Brother Bai, I also care about the young coach. Why do you think he is talking like this?"
Mo Yibai shrugged and pressed Zhao Feibai's shoulder, "For the sake of both our names, I will tell you some secrets of Daqin."
Zhao Feibai moved a cushion and sat down next to Mo Yibai. "What's the secret? It's related to Chengying Sword?"
"Smart is Chengying Sword. Since our Emperor Wu was merged into Chang'an, he has been in Chang'an. In recent years, he has been out of Beijing twice, and you have seen it once in these two times."
"Oh, Emperor Wu? Who is that's the first time I left Beijing?"
"Emperor Wu is Fu Rui's grandfather, the first emperor, and the legend is also the young marshal's grandfather. As for the first time when Chengying Sword came out of the capital, you must have heard of it. That battle is world-famous, and bloody as comparable to the battle of Changping in the pre-Qin period, where 400,000 people buried their bones."
Lu Yan also came over, "Brother Bai is talking about the Northern Expedition of the First Emperor nineteen years ago, which was the Lengquan Battle. I heard that the general also went."
Zhao Feibai was a little confused, "The battle of Lengquan? I heard about Lengquan massacres in the north. Fu Yi also won the title of "butcher". His bloody reputation chasing the number one powerful general in the pre-Qin period, Bai Qi." Speaking of this, Zhao Feibai paused, "Wuan Jun is the god of killing, what kind of killing Sima Hong is the god of killing? Wuan Jun fought more than 70 years and never lost his life. Sima Hong became a god of killing after gathering a few bandits. This god of killing in Beiting is really worthless."
"Is this? Don't worry about it. Who doesn't say you're good at it? Don't go astray? I haven't finished saying this. Do you know who was in the Chengying Sword that time?"
Zhao Feibai smiled, questioned and affirmed, and said, "Brother Bai, don't keep it aside. The big guy said just now that the Grandmaster has gone, right?"
Mo Yibai smiled and said, "That's right, it's your great general, Fu Zhongming."
"Ah, why did that sword go back to Chang'an again? The Grandmaster doesn't want it?"
Mo Yibai thought for a while and said, "I don't know this, I think, the emperor deliberately asked King Yongle to come with Chengying Sword this time, just to send the sword to the young marshal, mainly to make up for the young marshal."
"What's the meaning".
"I'm so stupid. Who belongs to the Shenwu Army? It's equivalent to the general's private army. The entire Shenwu Army was broken up and nothing was gone. Chengying Sword lost it, that's a big deal."
Zhao Feibai sighed and said, "Oh, the new emperor is really true. What's the point of dispersing the Shenwu Army? I hand over the Broken Leaf to the Western Barbarians."
"It's not that easy. Fu Rui has made a good plan. Let's take a while. The emperor will either take power to the central government or the Qin Dynasty is as the young marshal said, falling apart. The emperor is betting, competing with the major families to see who moves faster."
