Starting from the other world, I joined the chat group at the same time

Lin Pingzhi knelt down on both knees in front of Xia Lang without hesitation, kowtowed several times, then grabbed the wailing Yu Canghai and left.

And Xia Lang? He grabbed Liu Zhengfeng and the eunuch and suddenly left! Is it necessary for this hand-washing meeting to continue without a host?

The scene was in a mess and chaos. Such an abrupt and anticlimactic development made all the martial arts masters look at each other in bewilderment and then leave one after another.

"Brother, we..."

Ning Zhongze looked at the corpses of Songshan Sect disciples scattered all over the ground with fear, frowned and asked Yue Buqun, and Yue Buqun raised his hand and said calmly

“Junior sister, we have to stay in Hengshan City for a while. I believe that other members of the Five Mountains Sword Sect will do the same. We must see what this so-called Moon-embracing Immortal wants to do!”

He spoke righteously and openly, but after being provoked by Xia Lang to do what he did, even the Huashan Sect's disciples felt that this always upright master had other purposes.

Of course!

A gloom appeared in Yue Buqun's eyes. He wanted to revitalize Huashan, so he needed a magical skill like the Sword of Exorcism - but now, he seemed to have a better choice and possibility?

Why would he refuse? If the immortal really felt that way, then... even if he had to be his lackey, Yue Buqun would do it!

On the other side, Xia Lang captured Liu Zhengfeng and the eunuch and brought them to the backyard of Liu's mansion. He threw the frightened eunuch aside, while Liu Zhengfeng looked at the corpses of Songshan Sect disciples in his backyard, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"Okay, I captured you just to satisfy my personal curiosity. By the way, as the price for saving you, I want you to do something for me."

Xia Lang spoke without hiding his purpose, while Liu Zhengfeng looked helpless and bowed his hands to make an appointment.

"It should be so. It all depends on the will of the immortal."

"First question - your position as a lieutenant general shouldn't be used to fool people, right?" Xia Lang looked at Liu Zhengfeng curiously and asked.

In fact, there is a saying that Liu Zhengfeng bought his rank of lieutenant general by being deceived by someone, but this is obviously nonsense - local officials can only give you a seventh-rank official position at most when selling official positions and titles, and the central government is not in power like Emperor Ling of Han, so they cannot do things like buying and selling the three highest officials.

Zhang Juzheng is still alive, and Emperor Wanli has not started his 15-year reign of corruption. As for Liu Zhengfeng's fake official documents? Unless he wanted his entire family to die, he did so.

Liu Zhengfeng was stunned for a moment. He looked at the curious Xia Lang, smiled bitterly, and then told the story.

Yes, he did buy the position of Lieutenant General, but it was a real position. And there was only one person who could afford to buy this position.

"You mean, you bought this lieutenant general from Empress Dowager Li? And the biggest reason is because you are the descendant of Mr. Liu Bowen of Qingtian?"

Xia Lang looked at Liu Zhengfeng in surprise. He had not expected to have such an unexpected discovery.

"Yes, I am the eleventh-generation grandson of Mr. Liu Ji (Liu Bowen) of Qingtian, and the grandson of Liu Yu, the Earl of Chengyi." Liu Zhengfeng took a breath and said quietly.

Liu Zhengfeng rarely told people about his identity, but he was indeed born into a noble family. This can be seen from the fact that he was able to take over Hengshan from the indifferent Mr. Mo Da, and developed it to its current state and own such a luxurious house and family background.

The average old man in the martial arts world is not as rich and powerful as Liu Zhengfeng, who was able to buy a general to avoid disaster before retiring. There are probably not many people in the martial arts world who have such financial resources and connections.

Liu Zhengfeng undoubtedly used the relationship of his cousin Liu Shiyan, who is now in charge of the Right Army Governor's Office and can be said to be a powerful person.

As for why the nobles would let their children learn martial arts? All I can say is that in the martial arts world, it is not unthinkable to send your second son to a martial arts sect.

After all, if we go back two hundred years, which martial arts master would not wander around the Song Dynasty palace as if it were his own backyard? Well... maybe it's because he was too weak.

In short, Liu Zhengfeng's background is so precious. And with the help of a layer of relationships, he successfully bribed the emperor and Empress Dowager Li to get himself a nominal title to avoid disaster. At the same time, it is estimated that the emperor also planned to subdue a martial arts master as a thug.

So why did the Songshan Sect dare to kill Liu Zhengfeng, who had such a relationship with him?

Not to mention that the Songshan Sect is backed by the Shaolin Temple. Let’s not even talk about whether those bald donkeys who lend money at high interest would allow the Songshan Sect next to them to rise. Even if it is Shaolin, would they have the guts to get involved in such muddy water?

Xia Lang looked at the eunuch with interest, and the eunuch took a few deep breaths and bowed respectfully to Xia Lang.

"I can't guarantee it, but I can guess that the person who wants to attack Mr. Liu and me is probably...Grand Tutor Zhang."

Ha, now that makes sense!

It is reasonable for Zhang Juzheng to be the one who did it. After all, this reformer who advocated "respecting sovereignty, assessing officials' duties, rewarding and punishing according to the law, and issuing orders as the main principle" could not stand the chaos in the court the most, and selling official positions and titles was probably the most unlucky thing in his eyes!

The man behind the Songshan School was Zhang Juzheng, no wonder they dared to kill Liu Zhengfeng. After all, the power and status of this Grand Tutor in the fifth year of Wanli was like a replica of Zhuge Wuhou.

He monopolized the government and made arbitrary decisions, even treating the emperor like his own son. However, Wanli did not dare to say anything and even cooked soup for him himself.

Oh, it's a pity that Wanli is not Liu Chan. Wanli can't tolerate Zhang Juzheng's tyranny...

"So... I'm the villain?"

Xia Lang pointed at himself and grinned.

Volume 18: Xia Lang's Various Transmigrations: Chapter 17 . [Smiling Proudly] Everyone is a eunuch, everyone has skills to practice

After the eunuch told Xia Lang about his distinguished family background, he hoped to see some respect on his face, but unexpectedly, he looked indifferent.

So this eunuch actually started to recruit Xia Lang

"After learning the arts of literature and martial arts, you can sell them to the emperor. With your ability, if you are loyal to His Majesty, you will surely rise to prominence in the court."

The eunuch pinched his orchid fingers and said in a tone so gentle that it gave people goosebumps.

Xia Lang looked at the eunuch, half smiling, which made him feel goosebumps all over and his scalp itchy.

"I have no intention of flattering the dog emperor, and your ungrateful pig-headed emperor is not worthy of it." Xia Lang said with a joking smile

"You..." The eunuch's face changed, but he still stopped talking.

After all, he knew that he and his master could not afford to offend the "warrior" in front of them.

Although he solved a mystery in the original novel in his mind, for Xia Lang, this matter really didn't seem to have much significance.

Zhang Juzheng? Emperor Wanli? A great historical figure!

If Xia Lang's martial arts ability really remained at the level of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, he might even consider whether he could benefit from it.

Now, he didn't have to care about these things. As for whether he should do what time travelers like to do? He was too lazy to rebel, and he didn't want to flatter the feudal emperors, especially the Zhu family.

To be precise, he hated every feudal dynasty equally, whether it was the Ming, Song, Qing, or even the Tang and Han dynasties. If he had to rank them, the Ming would not be at the top.

At least compared with the Tang and Han dynasties, which were unified dynasties in the Central Plains before the Ming Dynasty, the excessive number of precious items from all over the country when the Ming Dynasty fell made his blood pressure higher.

Of course, it is meaningless to compare it to this. The goodness or badness of an emperor and a dynasty should be judged from their construction and their people.

Anyway, in terms of land area alone, except for the so-called heyday of less than a few years, the Ming Dynasty's area was not even larger than that of the Jin and Sui Dynasties. From this point of view, Xia Lang had even less reason to like them.

As for the system, Zhu Yuanzhang's decision to reverse history and enfeoff the kings and restart the system of human sacrifice was quite meaningful. The old farmer laid a mine for his grandson, and the later Emperor Yongle chose the method of raising "Zhu" that would maximize the burden on the people in order to defuse the bomb left by his father.

Xia Lang thought that he still preferred to look at things from the perspective of an ordinary person, so he hated the royal family who made ordinary people live in insecurity and pain.

Of course, in this thriving land full of vitality and flourishing everything, the valuable things are far more than just the royal relatives of the Zhu family.

The tyrants who harvested the people's land, the eight Shanxi merchants who colluded with foreign countries with the nomads, the Japanese pirates who colluded with the island countries to rob the civilians, and the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River who resisted and refused to pay taxes...

To the east, south, west, and north, Xia Lang looked around and saw countless valuable items everywhere!

However, these things or similar things are definitely not lacking in any feudal dynasty. For example, before the Song Dynasty, there were the noble families of the great general Tutu, which were also damned things.

He even hated the old peasant Zhu Yuanzhang, because he hated grand narratives and because he knew what a cruel fellow this peasant emperor was at heart.

When people boasted that he became emperor as a peasant, they also had to accept the fact that in the eyes of this "peasant emperor", all officials were pigs and dogs, and the common people were also his livestock.

Xia Lang didn't think that from his perspective he should like such an emperor and his descendants, and the same was true for Wanli.

As for Wanli, he is like Liu Chan who has no conscience, Liu Che who is a waste in every aspect and is much less than half of his former self, Yang Guang who is not so capable of committing suicide, and a conscienceless trash in every sense of the word.

When Xia Lang saw this thing, he really didn't think he had the leisure and patience to assist him or anything.

Supporting such a feudal thing to continue to maintain their rule for thousands of years, does he really like to flatter the emperor? Han or not, compared to these precious things, he would rather support Li Zicheng to give them the whole map!

At least that would make Xia Lang feel good, right?

Let the damn Ming Dynasty be destroyed, maybe Xia Lang will have to add to it. He can help Tutu's Zhu family with this, or... he can come in person and kill all the Zhu family members, the precious things of the Ming Dynasty, and the wild boar skins in Liaodong!

Thinking of this, Xia Lang couldn't help but look at the eunuch and said something even more outrageous.

"My friend who doesn't have a hook eight, please go back and tell your little emperor that I might visit him soon." Xia Lang said with a pleasant smile

"Tell him to pray that I would like to see people living and working in peace and contentment along the way. Otherwise, if I see something that makes me unhappy, such as officials forcing the people to rebel, borrowing the scalps of fellow villagers, or enclosing land, I will blame him for all these."

"Of course, I will kill all of these valuables. Don't worry, I treat everyone equally in this regard!"

Ok!

He actually just wanted to be an irresponsible countryman, but he still had a hypocritical sense of justice. At least, his motives were good.

Some people serve as Chinese citizens simply for their own pleasure, while Xia Lang, the Moon-embracing Immortal, makes himself happy by obtaining valuable things, and at the same time wants to make the people live more comfortably and decently.

He was too lazy to think so much, his main point was to take away anyone he didn't like! If there was no way to solve the problem, we would just solve the people who caused the problem!

Since the rich are feasting and drinking, and the poor are freezing on the streets, then we should demolish the rich, throw the feast and drinking to the common people, and slaughter all the noble families!

"It's treason! It's treason!!!"

The eunuch screamed with a pale face, but Xia Lang laughed wildly and recited a poem amid his screams:

"The streets are full of the bones of nobles, and the inner treasury is burned to ashes!!!"

kill! ! !

He also doesn't want to discuss the complicated issues of the relationship between history and productivity. He is not a fan of any dynasty. As someone with invincible power, he just wants to equally eliminate anything that any dynasty dislikes.

Aristocratic family? Kill!

Incompetent royal family? Kill!

Empty-talking gentry? Kill, kill, kill, kill!

There is really not much need to discuss history with a King of the West like him. If you insist on asking him to discuss such things, he would rather talk about the problem of the ditch.

He did not kill the eunuch who delivered the message, he fled in fear. Xia Lang was not in a hurry to embark on his "collecting folk songs" and just stayed at Liu Zhengfeng's house.

On the second day of his stay, Liu Zhengfeng had two books in front of him.

When Liu Zhengfeng picked up the first book, he felt his eyelids twitching wildly. The four big characters "Bixie Sword Manual" on it made his mouth open slightly.

"My God, what are you doing..."

"The Book of the Sword of Exorcism, the original copy from the Lin family." Xia Lang smiled with an especially happy and malicious look.

"I want you to print 100,000 copies and distribute them for free, making sure that every person in the martial arts world has one. What do you think? Can you do it?"

"This... I can do it, but why?" Liu Zhengfeng looked at Xia Lang in confusion, but he just asked Liu Zhengfeng to open it and take a look himself.

With strong doubts, Liu Zhengfeng opened the Sword Manual of Exorcism, and was shocked by the eight big words on it! Then he naturally did not believe in evil and practiced it involuntarily, and then vomited blood on the spot.

"This this......"

"Well, as you can see, if ordinary people want to master this skill, they really have to cut off two taels of meat from their crotch." Xia Lang smiled and gloated.

"But what do you think will happen if a hundred thousand copies of this thing are spread all over the world?"

Liu Zhengfeng's face froze. He had never thought about such a question. After all, things like martial arts secrets should be treasured by everyone, and even direct disciples would be unwilling to teach them, right?

"Look at you. It's because of your mentality that the martial arts world is getting worse with each generation." Xia Lang shook his head and sighed.

"Look how selfless I am. I'm making this secret manual public so that everyone can practice it and become a hero!"

Liu Zhengfeng's face was dull, but he was not a fool after all. Seeing Xia Lang's malicious smile, his eyes widened immediately.

"Immortal, could it be that you..."

Xia Lang smiled but said nothing, but Liu Zhengfeng guessed right!

He was completing a joke he had heard before!

If you were Lin Pingzhi, how would you take revenge on the entire martial arts world?

Make 100,000 copies of the Sword Manual of Exorcism, and distribute them everywhere! Faced with such a technique that has no entry threshold and can lead to rapid progress after practicing, how many people can resist such temptation?

Don’t talk about how important the two pounds of flesh under your crotch are - is your life more important than his?

When people from the underworld travel the martial arts world, they are bound to make enemies everywhere! After a while, it is very common to kill an entire family for revenge.

After all, the underworld is the underworld. In this underworld full of gangs, everyone has long formed a chain of suspicion like a dark forest.

In the past, no one could get a good technique, and even though it was the Black Forest, no one had a gun, right? But when the Sword Manual of Exorcism, a quick-learning manual, appeared, it was like giving everyone in the forest a gun!

If your enemy practices the Sword Manual of Exorcism and you don't practice it, how many people would not be afraid of revenge from your enemies? How many people in the martial arts world can beat the quick master who practices the Sword Manual of Exorcism?

Others practice but you don’t, and the result is that you will be hacked to death and you won’t have any chance to complain!

Therefore, even if your enemies don't practice martial arts in front of you, the martial arts heroes driven by fear will grit their teeth and cut off their own flesh and embark on the path of practicing martial arts!

But once they have cut the meat, will they feel at ease if they have done so simply in self-defense?

It's impossible. After paying such a huge price, how could they not vent their anger? So they would definitely look for people to fight with, find enemies, or create new enemies!

What matters in the underworld is reputation and profit. Once we have the strength, of course we have to obtain these things!
