Myths and Dharma, starting from Erlang Shen

Chapter 421 I
They rode into the city with great momentum.

Ji Ren walked in front, causing a sensation in the entire Bianjing city.

Looking at the figure flying freely and walking in the capital of the enemy country as if he was reviewing a military parade, the civil officials and scholars of the Song Dynasty hated Ji Ren to the core and cursed him in their hearts with gnashing teeth. He was indeed the traitor who did not know the right way, drove away the great scholar Zheng Changsong, and reversed right and wrong.

However, their hatred had no effect at all.

When Ji Ren passed by, they finally bowed their heads.

Because Ji Ren really can kill people!
Some generals and civilians felt deeply ashamed and humiliated, but more of them were yearning for it. The generals of the Song Dynasty wished they were generals of the Qi Dynasty, and the people of the Song Dynasty wished they were people of the Qi Dynasty.

After the Da Qi delegation moved into the embassy, ​​the matter came to a temporary end.

However, the cracks on the Song Dynasty city wall were particularly eye-catching.

Until the next day, news came that Huo Wuji, a member of the Han envoy, had smashed Su Shi's tombstone. Su Li was furious and wanted to seek revenge on Huo Wuji, but was stopped. Ji Ren's influence was suppressed a little.

Ji Ren, who had just woken up, stretched and was about to continue practicing when he saw Zhang Jingshou running towards him in a hurry, telling him the news.

"Both of you are said to have the qualities of champions and similar personalities. It's not without reason," Qiao Qingyu said with a smile.

Su Shi, although his status in the Song Dynasty was not high during his lifetime, it is different here.

After all, poetry is also power.

As for the art of poetry, Su Shi has always been among the top three in China's five thousand years.

Therefore, Su Shi's tombstone was highly respected in the Song Dynasty.

As a result, it was smashed on the day we entered the city.

This humiliation to the Song Dynasty is no less than breaking down the city walls.

"I broke into the city, it was all for Da Qi. These people in Da Song really forgot who they are because they have Da Qin as their father." Ji Ren defended.

"But why did Huo Wuji smash Su Shi's tombstone? How did Su Shi offend him?" Qiao Qingyin asked puzzledly.

"Because Su Shi said, 'Emperor Wu of Han was immoral, not worth seeing. Only the fact that he sat on the toilet and saw Wei Qing, and did not see Ji Changru without a hat, were good things. As for Wei Qing, a slave, it was appropriate for him to lick his hemorrhoids. Seeing him while he sat on the toilet was just right.'" Ji Ren said.

To translate, there is nothing commendable about Emperor Wu of Han. The only good thing that can be said about him is that he met Wei Qing when he went to the toilet. A servant like Wei Qing deserved only this treatment.

When Su Shi said this, the bodies of Wei Qing and Huo Qubing were really cold; dead people cannot speak.

But the problem is that in this era, there is someone who has embodied the image of Huo Qubing.

To be honest, although smashing Su Shi's tombstone was a bad behavior, considering Huo Wuzhi's temper, he was very restrained in not stabbing Su Li.

If Huo Qubing were to be reborn, the entire Song Dynasty would be ready to tremble.

"Huh? Su Shi also said this?" Guan Yan on the side widened her eyes. She quite liked Su Shi's poems.

"I have said that. In the eyes of normal people, Wei Qing, who attacked Longcheng directly, recovered Heshuo, and changed his attack and defense, is a hero. In the eyes of military generals, he is a famous general in ancient times, and is known as Han Bai, Wei Qing and Huo. But in the eyes of the literati in the Song Dynasty, he is an illegitimate child, a lowly riding slave, and a fawning relative. He was able to establish merits by flattering Emperor Wu of Han." Ji Ren said.

"Really? If you say that, I won't be able to read Su Shi's poems in the future." Guan Yan said with a painful look on her face. How could this group of people be so serious and talk nonsense?
Li Guangli would never accept the fact that he could become famous through the ages by flattering others and becoming a relative of the emperor.

"That's not necessary. Su Shi's poems are first-rate. We should look at the person and the poems separately. Take the essence and discard the dross. When looking at the ancients, we cannot worship them as gods and glorify all their shortcomings just because their advantages in some aspects are too outstanding. We should also not deny the whole person because of his shortcomings in some aspects. Otherwise, I can find black spots for all the ancients." Ji Ren said.

To be honest, this is not Su Shi's personal problem, but a problem of the entire Song Dynasty. Ouyang Xiu, known as a famous official of the Northern Song Dynasty who supported the New Deal, impeached Di Qing several times, believing that Di Qing had been the Privy Councilor for three or four years, and although he had no faults, he had no merits either, so he was not worthy of the title and should be dismissed.

What kind of bullshit is this?

But a group of people impeached him like this, and some even impeached that the dog in Di Qing's family had dragon horns, saying that he had a rebellious heart.

The main point is a false accusation.

"That being said, it's still hard to read. I used to think he had such a positive image." Guan Yan sighed.

Forget about not knowing. It’s hard to establish this idol nowadays.

"The transmission of information is different. When later generations write, they will not write down every detail. For example, if Ji Ren were recorded in history books of later generations, he would probably be written as a saint. However..." Qiao Qingyu did not finish her words, but the meaning was clear.

"I understand." Qiao Qingyin and Guan Yan nodded suddenly, vividly.

Ji Ren: “???”

Why did you use me as an example? And after using me as an example, you understood it so quickly.

"If we really talk about it in detail, Su Shi was not necessarily targeting Wei Qing. Wei Qing is more like a symbol here, a relative by marriage, and a military general. Just like the unsuccessful civil officials in history, they all lamented that Feng Tang is easy to grow old and Li Guang is hard to be appointed. Do you really feel sad for them? They just think that they are Feng Tang and Li Guang, capable but unsuccessful." Zhen Ya also laughed.

"He does look down on me, but it should be said that he doesn't just look down on Wei Qing. That's why he is such a coward." Ji Ren said.

The main reason is that the debuffs on Wei Qing are really stacked.

He was born an illegitimate child and later worked as a riding slave in Princess Pingyang's mansion.

In the eyes of Confucianism, calling such people trash is an exaggeration.

He was just a slave whose death was in vain. But it was this man who changed the situation of the war between the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu, winning battle after battle, and making the Han and Xiongnu switch sides, with no king's court in the south of the desert.

His entire life trajectory is comparable to that of the male protagonist in a cool novel.

Despite his illegitimate birth and status as a riding slave, he was eventually promoted to Grand Marshal and General, truly second only to the emperor.

Half of Emperor Wu of Han's bravery was attributed to Wei Qing.

He also turned his former master Princess Pingyang into his wife and buried them together after their death.

It is logical for some Confucian scholars to scold him.

"So you deserve to be hit. When I grow up a little bit, I can lead the army and conquer some land. The people in a country like this are pitiful." Zhang Jingshou shook his head.

"This smash is not enough. It is said that the stone tablet has been erected again. Why don't we smash it again?" Lu Shang said.

"That's enough! Do you think that after being attacked once, they won't defend themselves tightly? And Huo Wuji had a reason to attack, and he has the Han Dynasty behind him and is favored by the Emperor Wu, so he can do whatever he wants. Can you guys do that? Just practice here honestly, or you will fail to enter the second round when the competition starts." Ji Ren said.

The battle of geniuses is divided into two rounds.

The first round is a battle between men and generals, which tests the overall strength of the empire.

After the battle, thirty-six generals were selected from each country to enter the second round.

However, the local marquises like Ji Ren skipped the first round and were directly promoted to the second round.

"How is that possible? Look at my methods." Zhang Jingshou said confidently. He can now jump levels and become a battlefield marquis, okay?

"I will go directly to the second round, and then we'll see how many of them can stop me." Lu Shang said proudly.

"Okay, let's test everyone. I'll sit here, and you guys come up together. Whoever can let me get up, I'll buy all the drinks tonight." Ji Ren said.

"it is good."

Zhang Jingshou and others immediately became energized and attacked Ji Ren all at once.

Zhuge Hao and Zhou Kuan smiled at each other, then joined in, combining the originally scattered forces into one.

Ji Ren's face changed slightly. Without Zhuge Hao and Zhou Kuan, the power of this group of people was dispersed, and even if they were added together, they could not move a single finger of his. But if Zhuge Hao and Zhou Kuan integrated them, the power of this group of people would double, and it would take two fingers to suppress them.

But Ji Ren's composure did not last long. Suddenly, a sharp sword energy surged, and the sound of a pipa was heard. The spiritual energy around him became chaotic and attacked Ji Ren.

Ji Ren's eyes widened as he saw Guan Yan and Zhen Ya also joined the battle.

Then Qiao Qingyin joined in and Ji Ren was forced to use one hand.

But this was still not enough, because when Ji Ren saw Qiao Qingyu joining in, his eyes widened immediately. This was too much. Are these people asking me to spend money to avoid disaster?

Qiao Qingyu smiled and silently increased her strength.

Ji Ren also became interested and used both hands.

The battle lasted for three hundred rounds, with spiritual power surging, and it was very lively.

During the confrontation, a domineering spiritual power failed to control its power and flew out of the door. Ji Ren's face changed slightly, and he was about to pull the spiritual power back. At this time, Nanhua Old Immortal and Zhuge Qinglan happened to come in from outside, followed by two people. One of the old men waved his hand and dispersed the spiritual power.

Everyone stopped hastily.

"The kids are fooling around and offending our seniors." Zhuge Qinglan apologized immediately.

"It's okay." The old man said lightly, and then his eyes swept across the crowd and finally fell on Ji Ren. Ji Ren was inexplicably shocked, feeling as if he had been seen through. He looked and saw that the old man was dressed simply, without any gorgeousness. Those who didn't know would just think he was an ordinary old man, but at this glance, Ji Ren felt that the other person was like the vast starry sky, boundless, invisible and intangible.

The Heavenly Eye subconsciously observed, but could not see anything. It seemed that he was just an extremely powerful extraordinary person.

But somehow, Gonggong's image revealed different emotions.

It’s not easy. It’s very difficult.

"Why don't you come and pay your respects to me, your senior, and the God of War." Zhuge Qinglan glanced at the group of people and said.

Lao Tzu?

Ji Ren's heart skipped a beat, and then he calmly saluted Laozi and the Tang Dynasty's military god Li Wancheng with a group of people.

But my heart is still full of doubts. Although Li Tang recognizes Laozi as his ancestor, in the game, Laozi is not in the Tang Kingdom.

How would it appear here?

If there is Jade Ding Zhenren and Yuanshi Tianzun in this world, then there cannot be no Taishang Laojun.

Since there is Taishang Laojun, what is the situation of this Laozi in front of us?
An incarnation on earth, or the real person?
I looked at Ji Ren, a smile appeared in my gentle eyes. The little guy has a lot on his mind, and it seems that Yu Ding has said a lot.
