Final Chapter. 187.Guan Li Dou (I)
Lin Siwei heard that Shen Gui was in critical condition, and there was a slight hint of rare panic in the tone of his reply:
"Wait for Shen You, what do you mean by what you just said? With Bai Heng here, who can trap Shen Gui in this Huayu Continent? ”
When Shen You heard this, he immediately squeezed out a cold snort from his nose:
"Since your old man mentioned this, I'll just say it directly. Bai Heng, the Holy Father of Yan that you kept mentioning just now, turned into a handful of flying ashes a few days ago, and even the aftermath was handled by Shen Gui himself......
As soon as a sentence came out, Lin Siwei seemed to have suffered nine days of thunder, and the whole person stayed on the spot; It wasn't until Shen You coughed lightly that she barely came back to her senses......
"This ...... What's going on? ”
Bai Heng's death was indeed a very significant blow to Shen Gui. However, he was confident that Song Xingzhou would not dare to kill him, so this pain came from the emotion itself, not other relationships; However, for Lin Siwei, this bad news is no less terrifying than the sky falling!
It's a long story about this.
Putting aside Shen Gui, just talking about the Huayu Continent in the past 20 years, it seems to be treacherous, open and secret; But in fact, they are all moving forward slowly according to the trajectory set by Di Ting, or Guan Beidou.
Between heaven and earth, there has never been an isolated individual, and the same is true for people. Guan Beidou is pregnant with the spiritual veins of the earth, and is proficient in Xuanmen astrological divination and derivation; It is said that he is a god who walks in the world, and perhaps he is exalted a little; But to say that he is a top wise man who has insight into the world and overlooks yin and yang, no one will raise objections.
However, a top wise man like him is not alone in any era. In recent decades, including the little golden boy Buddha of the Fulu sect in western Xinjiang; Honghui Zen Master of Nanlin Zen Buddhism; Even his third junior brother, immeasurable real people......, etc., etc., etc., Every sect organization has no shortage of people with such superior wisdom and profound magic as him; It's just that there is a distinction between high and low personal cultivation; Everyone's personality and development are different.
When the common people are unlucky, they often use the truth that Saion lost his horse and knows whether he is blessed or not to comfort himself. In the same way, heaven and earth are not yet complete, nor can they give birth to perfection; If we take a long-term view, those things such as success and failure, high and low, and so on, must tend to be balanced on the whole.
Those "Kinmen Xiangshi" who eat Jianghu rice often put the words "the secret of heaven cannot be revealed" on their lips; Of course, the original intention of this sentence is to use vague and ambiguous "two-headed words" as much as possible on the premise of avoiding the loss of many words, so as to hook the divergent thinking of the person who counts the hexagram himself, and make up for the defects in the "criticism prediction" by himself.
Therefore, this statement is just a rhetorical skill, not a clever skill; But for a wise man like Guan Beidou who has real talent and learning, the so-called ban on "leaking heavenly secrets" is no longer just a trick to deceive people.
Heaven and earth are deficient, and there is no perfect law. There is an old saying in the Xiangshi line, which is called five evils and three shortcomings, and four rounding and two calamities. The five evils refer to "widowhood, widowhood, loneliness, loneliness, and disability"; The three deficiencies are "wealth, life, and power"; As for the four sheddings, they are greed, anger, foolishness, and cowardice; And the two calamities should be born and old, sick and dead. Therefore, no matter whether the people in the rivers and lakes are "fishy or sharp", they can't escape this constraint, whether it's fake or pretended, if you want to see the deep fish and hide the wisdom, you must pay the corresponding price.
Just like the Xiangshi of Jianghu Jinmen, even if he is not blind, the technique of "rolling his eyes" must have been perfected; And the shamanic goddess and shaman, even if they don't "pump" themselves, will immediately "bounce up and watch" when they "go out to invite the gods"...... It can also be said that once the practitioners of the prediction industry have become more experienced, without the support of this immersive, methodological performance, even they themselves feel that they are talking nonsense.
Put aside these "fishy tricks (fake physiognomy)", it's time to talk about the "top goods" of Guan Beidou and others. can be without a considerable number of people, Lu Xiangyin, the reason why he betrayed the door and fled, and finally ended up dismal, is largely due to Guan Beidou.
Lu Xiangyin has a very high talent in martial arts since he was a child, and he can be called the best of the three generations of disciples, and his personality has naturally become more and more paranoid and competitive; Guan Beidou was deprived of the right to succeed, and Lu Xiangyin, as the second senior brother, should be the best choice to take charge of the real person. However, anyone who wants to inherit the mantle of Xuanxu Dao Monarch cannot abandon his attainments in magic and Taoism. Therefore, the enemy standing in front of Lu Xiangyin is not Guan Beidou as the world thinks, but his own flaws.
No one is perfect, Lu Xiangyin's Taoist talent is really low and terrifying; Not to mention the derivation of the heavenly physiognomy, even the most basic sympathy between heaven and man, he is completely powerless to touch. To paraphrase a common saying, he is not this material at all!
But the young and vigorous Lu Xiangyin is definitely unwilling to accept this result; Why did Master Zu reward the elder brother with a bowl of good rice from the earth's spiritual veins, but smashed his own bowl with his backhand?
Guan Beidou understood Lu Xiangyin's thoughts, and he understood the difficulties he encountered. So, he wrote his deduction technique into a concise book and put it in a place where Lu Xiangyin would definitely find it.
Lu Xiangyin couldn't resist the temptation and stole Guan Beidou's "fortune-telling notes"; And after Guan Beidou found out, he absconded to Youbei 3rd Road in fear of crime. The reason for this result is, of course, Lu Xiangyin's own problems are the majority; But Guan Beidou's move did not have any good intentions.
For the alchemists with real skills, they can choose by themselves; However, Lu Xiangyin was not this material at all, so he forcibly reversed the deduction technique, and as a result, he could only resign himself to fate
From the trajectory of Lu Xiangyin's life, it can be analyzed: he is obviously "the middle of the five evils, and the third lack of life; Cowardice in the four houses, two catastrophes in the sick. After falling behind this result, he secretly competed with Guan Beidou, so he relied on the disadvantages of "Yang Remnant" and entered the palace on Youbei Third Road, echoing Guan Beidou of Beiyan Qin Tiansi.
It's just that the Zhou family of Beiyan worships the Tao, but the three roads in the north are the world of shamanism; In this way, Lu Xiangyin's desire to manipulate the evolution of Huayu Continent is far less easy than Guan Beidou. Since the road could not be followed, he could only follow the example of Nan Kang Di and set up another "spy agency" to secretly guide the Yan family to act; And this institution was later known as the Imperial Horse Supervisor.
It can also be said that if Shen Gui had not been born, perhaps Lu Xiangyin's strategic intention of "coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes" would have been completely realized. As for the Yan family's pair of talented relatives, whether they are the opponents of the Beiyan Zhou family, let's talk about it for the time being; But for Lu Xiangyin himself, he first had the opportunity to compete with Guan Beidou before he had the possibility of beating him.
A natural martial arts material, you have to compare with a god stick seedling to tell the hexagram, this is purely to eat enough. Of course, Lu Xiangyin's final ending is indeed quite bleak.
Even though Lu Xiangyin, who is "motivated", was turned around by Guan Beidou; But this doesn't mean that no one in the world can restrain his Tianyan technique. Besides, when it comes to the ability of this "strange power to confuse the gods"; Looking at the Huayu Continent, he Guan Beidou is just a second-rate top level; The real and only pinnacle of the spell is only the Heavenly Spirit Vein, the Northern Shaman Li Xuanyu alone!
When Guan Beidou, a person from Wuhe Dao, joined the Beiyan Qin Heavenly Division, his people, bones and hearts had already fallen into Li Xuanyu's eyes. However, although the longevity of the Heavenly Spirit Vein is extremely high, once they kill the non-Heavenly Spirit Vein, they will also be rejected by the Heavenly Dao Law, and then lose their own lifespan.
Just like Lin Siwei's rejuvenation hand, although the Heavenly Spirit Vein is powerful, if he wantonly kills ordinary people, he will also have to pay a corresponding price. For Li Xuanyu, who is famous for his witchcraft spells, because the means of killing people are too convenient, it is natural that he will end up dying early.
In fact, Li Xuanyu also knew this problem, but she was helpless.
The Northern Yan Dynasty occupied the hinterland of the Central Plains, rich in products, vast territory, extremely fast population reproduction, and many heroes and heroes; If it is allowed to continue to develop, then the Youbei Third Road, a wild land outside the wilderness, will definitely fall under the conquest of the Northern Yan army soon. Once the three roads of the north are destroyed, the Mobei grassland is also precarious; At that time, half of Huayu will be returned to Beiyan, not to mention, the foundation bloodline of shamanism will also be uprooted by the Xuanyue Dao Palace within a hundred years!
In addition to this, there is another important reason. After Li Xuanyu's Heavenly Spirit Vein awakened, the aura of Huayu Continent began to dry up; Even cultivating the ordinary Inner Family Tuna Exercises, the difficulty has increased exponentially; It is precisely because the spiritual energy between heaven and earth is completely depleted, since Li Xuanyu, there is no longer the ability to nourish the next Heavenly Spirit Veiner.
In fact, this problem is caused by the law of Heavenly Dao evolution, and it will not be swayed by human beings, nor should it be considered by human beings. Just like a storm and a tsunami, when will the earth be changed by the will of man?
However, although Li Xuanyu was the last Heavenly Spirit Vein person, due to the excessive loss due to the burden of the Youbei Third Road, she knew that she would not be the last elegy for the Heavenly Spirit Veiner. The question of early or late death is irrelevant to Li Xuanyu himself; But if after Li Xuanyu's death, there are still Heavenly Spirit Veiners left in the world, it will definitely lead to the complete extinction of Shamanism!
Because the Heavenly Spirit Vein is a decisive factor in maintaining the relative balance of the Huayu Continent. It is conceivable that if Xuanxu Daojun had not died, it would have been impossible for the former dynasty Dayan to disintegrate easily; If it weren't for the Heavenly Spirit Vein Song Xingzhou's formation, then with the weak and weak combat effectiveness of the Nankang army alone, I am afraid that the iron hooves of the Northern Yan army would have already stepped on the rolling Huajiang River; If there is no Li Xuanyu on the three roads in Youbei, the Qingmang Sword in Yue Haishan's hand can also be enough to split the Xiongguan in the East China Sea and go north to recover the lost territory.
From this point of view, the battle between the Heavenly Spirit Veiners is a substitute for the fight between countries; In this way, the wounds of Huayu Continent are no longer so difficult to heal.
