The Assassin Empire of the Three Kingdoms

"The Dao can be the Tao, the very Tao, the name can be named, and the very name; the beginning of the unnamed heaven and earth is named the mother of the heaven and the earth; therefore, always have no desire, so as to observe its beauty; always have desire, so as to observe its essence; these two come from the same but are different. The name is the same as Xuan; Xuan is also Xuan, the gate of all wonders; ..., Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things; , few, and no crops, but princes and dukes think of it; old things may be damaged and benefited, or benefited and lost; what others teach, I also teach;..."

The person on the stage was eloquent, and all the elders in the audience shook their heads and twisted their beards, listening with gusto, no one paid any attention to Long Fei and the others for a long time.Although Long Fei didn't know what he was talking about, he still heard some sentences.It seems to be a few passages in the "Tao Te Ching", which talk about the laws of all things and nature, and the mentality of self-cultivation.Speaking of this "Tao Te Ching", it can be regarded as the first philosophical work of mankind since the wilderness, and it is hundreds of years earlier than those in Europe.

"Papa..." Long Fei suddenly applauded.The sound was not loud at first, but it was extraordinarily loud in this quiet courtyard.The person on the stage, the four old men in the audience, as well as Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong all turned their heads to look at Long Fei.Long Fei took a step forward: "It's good that Tao produces one, one produces two, two produces three, and three produces all things. Dare I ask you what is Tao? What is one? What is two? What is three? What is myriad things?"

Everyone glared at Long Fei, only the person on the stage looked up and down at Long Fei, and turned his head to look at the old man who brought Long Fei in.The old man nodded slightly.The person on the stage smiled slightly: "Based on what your Excellency said, what is Tao?"

"Tao is nature. Everything grows and lives according to the law. Sunrise and sunset, spring, summer, autumn and winter, etc. are all caused by the lawful rotation of the earth, and this rotation is endless and never stops, so it is said that it is nature. law!"

"Then what is one?"

Long Fei shook his head: "I'm going to ask you now, sir, what you said is so subtle, how can an ordinary person like me know this! So I ask you for advice."

The man said with a smile: "One is the beginning of all things. All things in the world come from one. The towering trees with flourishing branches and leaves also grow from a single seed. The birds in the forest all grow from the eggs of birds." hatched from..."

"Wait!" Long Fei interrupted: "That said, it seems reasonable. Dare I ask Mr. which one comes first, the bird or the bird's egg?"

"Of course the bird's egg comes first!" An old man in black glared at Long Fei angrily, "Mr. First!"

Long Fei laughed loudly, and immediately asked, "Where did the eggs come from?"

"Bird eggs are naturally born by old birds...!" Before he could finish speaking, the old man in black froze.There is simply no answer to this chicken-and-egg question.From the theory of evolution, a brand new animal, the chicken, was hatched after the egg mutated, but these old guys don't know what the theory of evolution is.

The rest of the elders were also lost in thought.Long Fei secretly changed the topic and played around with the old guys, but he stopped talking and sat beside him, giggling all the time.That Mr. Xu coughed hard: "Taoism emphasizes letting nature take its course, no matter whether the bird came first or the egg first, the Taoism says that the bird comes from the egg, the egg is born from the bird, and the egg is born endlessly! You don’t have to chase these bird-and-egg issues.”

After talking about this, Mr. Xu stood up slowly, came down from the steps, and walked towards Long Fei.Long Fei also stood up, and the two saluted each other.Mr. Xu stared blankly at Long Fei's face without saying a word.Looking at Long Fei, he felt strange. Just when Long Fei was at a loss, Mr. Xu said: "I, Xu Shao, have seen countless people in my life. I have never seen such a strange appearance. The eyebrows are erratic, both good and evil. Whether they are rich and powerful or die in other places, it seems that they have the appearance of prosperity, but also the fate of poverty, how strange and strange!"

"Sir! Is he the one we are looking for?" The old man in black was a little impatient.

Xu Shao shook his head slightly, then nodded quickly: "It seems that it is not and it seems that it is, this matter is important, and I can only ask the Lord to decide!"

All four nodded.Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong hurried into the house.Not long after, an old man with a bright head and white beard came out.The old man was all white from head to toe.White hair, white eyebrows, white beard, clothes on the body, and shoes on the feet are all white.His complexion is ruddy, and he walks sonorously and vigorously.You should be very old, but you don't bend your back or hunchback, and your hands are behind your back.A gust of wind blew by, and the one-foot-long beard blew up, revealing a palm-sized jade pendant with dragon patterns on his chest.Long Fei's eyes were sharp, and he saw at a glance that it was the mark of Hei Bing.

The four old men and Xu Shao hurriedly knelt down at the mouth of the ground and proclaimed their master.The old man in white nodded slightly, not paying attention to the few people kneeling on the ground, but cast his sharp eyes on Long Fei.With deep eyes, Long Fei's back felt a little chilled.Dian Wei immediately stepped up, stood beside Long Fei, pointed at the old man and said loudly: "What are you doing? What's your name, tell me quickly! Otherwise, Grandpa Dian won't spare you!"

The white-haired old man snorted coldly, and flicked his sleeves, Dian Wei flew up in a daze, over the top of Long Fei's head, flew out from the fence wall, and fell outside the door.Long Fei suddenly became vigilant, Dian Wei was a fierce general after all, he could easily knock him into the air, and he was still three feet away, and he didn't know what method this old guy used!Long Fei never believed in the tricks in martial arts novels.He gave Huang Zhong a wink, and Huang Zhong hurried out to see Dian Wei, while he and Zhao Yun exchanged a look, turning his body sideways to look at the old man vigilantly.

"Such a person who doesn't understand etiquette, this time it's just a small punishment, Zuo Shu, remember to discipline your subordinates more in the future!" The old man turned around and told Xu Shao and others who were kneeling on the ground to get up.

Xu Shao got up and glanced at the old man, who nodded.Only then did Xu Shao say: "Leader Zuo Shu, Long Fei, this is one of the four elders of our Black Ice, Immortal Yu Ji!"

Yu Ji?Yu Ji who teased Sun Ce.Long Fei was a little confused, Yu Ji was at most a magic stick, to put it mildly, he was a quack warlock, and he was actually one of the four elders of Heibing.From this point of view, there are really all kinds of people in Hei Bing.Xu Shao went on to introduce: "Mr. Shui Jing, Sima Hui, Mr. Pang De, Zhuge Xuan, and Huang Chengyan. The two sons are a crouching dragon, Zhuge Liang, who is Zhuge Xuan's nephew, and a young phoenix, Pang Tong, who is Pang Degong's nephew. , are all my people in the black ice."

Long Fei was dumbfounded, others didn't know, but he was very clear.These people are all first-class talents. They helped Liu Bei seize Jingzhou and then enter Shu. They have contributed a lot to the establishment of the Shuhan Dynasty. They are all from the black ice.Thinking of this, Long Fei's heart skipped a beat. No wonder Yu Ji risked his life to kill Sun Ce in order to prepare for Liu Bei to take down Jingzhou.For Liu Bei, this group of people can be said to have gone to great lengths.

After Xu Shao's introduction, Yu Ji said to Long Fei, "I heard that Sun Jian's jade seal is in your hand, take it out!"

Long Fei looked at a few people and was about to speak.Hearing a loud shout from outside, Caimen flew up.Dian Wei held his halberds in his hand, his eyes wide open.Huang Zhong hugged him desperately, and Dian Wei kept yelling: "You actually plot against me, if you have the ability, come out and fight Sanbaihe with grandpa!" Cloth masks surrounded Dian Wei, Long Fei and others.

Huang Zhong looked at Long Fei.Long Fei nodded.Huang Zhong pretended not to hold back.Dian Wei rushed towards Yu Ji with his halberds in hand.The man in black rushed out to block Yu Ji.Dian Wei didn't care if you knew martial arts or not, he spread his hands and slashed left and right with a pair of iron halberds with the sound of the wind.The martial arts of this group of men in black are not bad. Although they are not as brave as Dian Wei, they are light and flexible, and they cooperate with each other tacitly.You can tell it's been trained.

"General Long, stop!" Xu Shao hurriedly shouted.

Seeing that Dian Wei had already brought down three or four, Long Fei made a sound.Although he stopped his hands, Dian Wei's fiery eyes fixed on Yu Ji.At this time, it was also not seen that Yu Ji used the trick just now, shrinking among a group of guards and retreating into the room.Long Fei was even more sure that there must be some kind of mechanism to beat Fei Dianwei.Long Fei walked up to Dian Wei, and said to Yu Ji and the others: "Yes, the jade seal is indeed with me, and I can hand it over if you want, but what good does it do me?"

"Bastard, you actually negotiated conditions with the guardian! Don't forget, you are also a member of the black ice!"

"Hehe!" Long Fei laughed and said, "Yes, I am a member of the Black Ice, and people in the Black Ice are paid for everything they do. You did say that you want to seize the jade seal, but you didn't specify the price!"

"How much do you want?" Yu Ji asked.

"How about Jingzhou?" Long Fei said without any hesitation, "The world is in chaos. I think Jingzhou is a good place. You can go north, south, or west. No matter who gives such a strategic place, it is possible to become a marquis and general. This man just wants to be rich, give me Jingzhou, and I will offer the jade seal with both hands. Compared with the jade seal, which is a symbol of power, Jingzhou is not a big deal!"

"You threatened us!" Yu Ji said angrily, "Do you know the strength of Hei Bing? Since ancient times, those who threatened Hei Bing had no good results! Wang Mang is a good example. If you can help him up, you can pull him down! The emperor is like this, let alone you."

"It seems that we can't talk about it!" Long Fei shook his head: "If Heibing is like you pretenders, I have nothing to fear. Believe it or not, I can let you all die here now!"

"You dare!" Duke Pang De was furious, looking around, took off a long sword from the back wall, drew it out with a clang, and pointed at Long Fei: "If you dare to harm the guardian, I will kill you!"

Long Fei took out the blood-red dagger: "Then try!" He took a step forward suddenly, and before Mr. Pang De could react, he swung the dagger left and right, and the long sword in Mr. Pound's hand broke into three pieces.Zhuge Xuan stared wide-eyed and pointed at Long Fei: "Are you a descendant of the Jing family?" Sima Hui, Huang Chengyan, Xu Shao, and even Yu Ji were startled, looking at the blood-red dagger in Long Fei's hand, all of them opened their mouths wide.
