lethal arsenal

Chapter 355: Three Failures

"There is no eternal dynasty in this world. During the Wanli Emperor's period, the destiny of fire virtue has been exhausted, and the fortune of heaven, when it comes to water virtue and earth virtue, the rise of Liao and Jin is unstoppable. However, the Wanli court used the human dragon energy to suppress the fate of heaven. This led to the emergence of calamity, which was the resentment of the people. The land was annexed, and the rich had thousands of acres of fertile land, while the poor had no land to stand on. Later, during the Apocalypse years, God sent calamities to warn the world. The demons and gods descended from the sky not to destroy the world, but to destroy the world. Let the princes above the imperial court wake up."

——"The Handwritten Records of the Old Man Ivy"

Old Man Qingteng is the nickname of Lin Dong’s teacher Xu Wei. Xu Wei’s courtesy name is Wenqing, his nickname is Wenchang, and he is also known as Qingteng.

When he was studying, he was once called the most talented man in the Ming Dynasty.

In his youth, Xu Wei served as Hu Zongxian's staff, captured Xu Hai and seduced Wang Zhi.

(Wang Zhi, during the Jiajing period, was almost a replica of the Pirate King. All 36 islands along the southeast coast were under his control.)
Later, Xu Wei was implicated by Hu Zongxian and jailed for seven years.

After seven years and nine deaths, he fully understood Yangming's philosophy of mind and achieved the realm of great Confucianism who could defeat ghosts and gods with one breath.

After that, he became unruly in his old age, traveling around the mountains and rivers, and achieved a Taoist path to a secluded place.

In the 21st year of Wanli's reign, he entered the Qin Tian Prison and went into seclusion. He sold his collection of books and heard a loud roar, which revealed that Taoism was broken.

Become the great master of Dongxuan.

Before he retired to seclusion, he was already 72 years old.

In the sixth year of the Apocalypse, that is, the year when the devil god came, Xu Wei took charge of the overall situation in Beijing, arranged all the funeral arrangements, and died.

Lin Dong went back to the inn after checking the news with Li Ruolian. He couldn't sleep much of the night, and he was slowly sorting out the memories rooted in his mind.

By recalling some matters related to his relationship with his teacher Xu Wei, he can gain a clearer understanding of the entire Ming Dynasty.

With internal and external troubles and numerous disasters, trying to stabilize the Ming Dynasty is even more difficult than rebuilding the world.

So, can Dashun founded by King Li Chuang be trusted?

With his understanding of history, Lin Dong probably knew something.

If the wheel of history is not interrupted, it will be the opportunity for King Li Chuang to cause trouble soon.

And how should I deal with myself in this great turmoil?

Although the time given by the arsenal is long, the number of demon gods is not an ordinary number. There are a total of [-] demons in the sky.

It's not easy to get rid of.

If it weren't for the arsenal mission restriction, Lin Dong would have wanted to pull out a troop to go it alone.

Knock this decayed country into pieces bit by bit, establish a new dynasty, and create a new world.

But there seems to be no such opportunity...

Moreover, if Lin Dong was asked to choose someone to assist him again, he was unwilling to do so. He was a little confused for a while because he had been asked to make wedding clothes for others.

Geez!
When the rooster sings, the world becomes white.

Lin Dong was brought out of his deep thoughts by the loud crowing of roosters.

"That's alright! Take one step first and watch one step before talking. Maybe things will turn around when things develop to a certain extent."

"Blackwater City, Daxia National Treasure."

"Old monster Youquan... I have to try my best to unlock the seal in advance..."

Lin Dong paced back and forth in the room.

"Brother."

Xu Tianxiong came over with a basin of water, "Come and wash your face." Soaking the handkerchief in the water, she stopped Lin Dong and said.

This kind of care in life lasted for more than half a year.

Half a year ago.

Xu Wei buried the Fire Dragon Ball into Lin Dong's body.

In order for the Dragon Ball to perfectly integrate with Lin Dong's body, Lin Dong's Qi Sea was said to be sealed for about three years.

From then on, Lin Dong fell into a state of confusion.

His body couldn't move, and Xu Tianxiong had been taking care of him.

Of course, these are just instilled memories, and it is not certain whether they are real Lin Dong.

As for why he was hunted down.

It is also simple.

After King Xin came to power, he not only failed to listen to Emperor Tianqi's advice on re-appointing Wei Zhongxian before his death, but instead overthrew a series of government affairs and re-appointed members of the Donglin Party.

As for Lin Dong, among the four demon-suppressing envoys, he was the only one who had no one to endorse him.Zhuque Li Ruolian was loyal to the royal family, and Chongzhen's rise to power also had a close relationship with Li Ruolian.

As for the other two demon-suppressing envoys, Xuanwu Zhao Lijiao was originally from the military, while Baihu Gao Qiqian had a certain Donglin Party background.

The only person Lin Dong, a Qinglong, could endorse was his teacher Xu Wei.

After Xu Wei's death, a rumor gradually spread among the Jinyi Guards, saying that if Lin Dong was refined, he could get back the Fire Dragon's Dragon Ball.

The so-called Demon God has not appeared again in a short period of time since he was defeated on the day he arrived.

Chongzhen's temper was inconsistent and his ears were soft. In addition, most of the power in the Ming Dynasty was now controlled by civilian officials.

Politics, military, public opinion, and education are almost all controlled by the scholars and gentry, mainly the Donglin Party.

The plan to save the Ming Dynasty from danger began to go wrong at the first step when it came to Lin Dong.

Fortunately, Xu Tianxiong was cautious and dragged Lin Dong to the Taiping Inn, where he barely managed to save his life.

wow.

He wrung out the water and rubbed his face with a cool towel, bringing some comfort to Lin Dong.

"Do you still have enough money?"

Lin Dongduo asked, of course the Taiping Inn's guarantee of Taiping would not be a white guarantee, as the fees here were quite high.

Twelve weights of gold can only stay for 30 days.

Someone has said in the past that treasure hunters’ gold is hidden in the desert, and the treasure hunters are the Youquan couple’s gold.

Of course, most people are willing to pay ten taels of gold for a month's stay.

"It's enough, senior brother, don't worry about this. The real trouble is with the miracle doctor Li Guishou. When I was getting water just now, I asked the waiter about it. Li Guishou has a rule about not saving him. ! If you don’t save the unjust people, if you don’t save the hawks and dogs of the court, if you don’t save the Mohe people, we can be considered guilty of one of them.”

Xu Tianxiong said worriedly.

Lin Dong carried the title of Jinyi Qianhu, and the imperial court did not remove him from his post.

Although Emperor Chongzhen sharpened his sword, his title was retained.

But it also fell within the three-no-save rule set by Li Guishou.

"Bullshit rules."

Lin Dong curled his lips in disdain.

Ghost Hand Li claims to be able to cure the world's most difficult and complicated diseases, including living dead human flesh and white bones. After Lin Dong was sealed by Xu Wei in the Qi Sea, he wanted to come over and give it a try to break the seal.

After Xu Wei fought against the Demon God, he suffered too many hidden injuries. Coupled with a series of subsequent events such as creating the elixir, burying the dragon beads, and dividing the dragon energy, he really exhausted his mana, and he died soon after.

As a last resort, Lin Dong came to Li Guishou.

"Come on, let's go meet him."

Lin Dong said to Xu Tianxiong after washing up.

"Senior brother, do you have any plans?"

Xu Tianxiong asked.

"Ha ha."

Lin Dong chuckled lightly, "These so-called rules are just used to increase one's own price. Whoever believes it is a fool. Do you think Li Guishou can heal with a knife on his head?"

"Besides, the seal carved by the master may not be able to be broken. We are just giving it a try. If it doesn't work, what if we wait for a while?"

"Junior sister, I am not able to walk on the ground now. Maybe in ten days and a half, I will be completely healed. It is possible."

Lin Dong said casually and opened the window.

It was the winter wind blowing outside the house in the morning.

The cold wind was sharp, blowing sand and dust, and the rolling sand in the distance was like a yellow-brown mist all over the sky, coming towards the inn to cover it.

The weather these days is not necessarily very good.

"Yes, that's what senior brother said."

Xu Tianxiong nodded and hid the two short black blades on the table.

Where in the world are there so many rules?

Many so-called rules are just because the price is not given enough.
