Keyboard Immortal Chapter 555: GaoTie Swallowing the Heavens

Hearing his words, Wu Geng's calm expression changed instantly. He had bowed respectfully before, and soon straightened up, his whole person had an inexplicable kingly air.

He looked at Zaun and said lightly, "When did you know?"

With his words, the surrounding environment suddenly changed. Originally, the blood on the battlefield was raging to the sky, but all of this disappeared in the next second.

The place where it is located is not the battlefield of Muye, but on the Lutai built a few years ago.

Pei Mianman also appeared here. She was a little confused by the second monk, so she hurriedly came to Zu'an: "Azu, what's the situation."

Zuan smiled bitterly: "This person in front of me is the creator of this trial, the real king of the last Shang Dynasty, Wu Geng."

Pei Mianman looked aside in surprise. This prince, who was usually taciturn, often greeted her with greetings on weekdays, so it was really difficult to get in touch with the final boss.

Wu Geng frowned: "You haven't answered my question yet."

Zuan replied: "Actually, after I entered this secret realm, I have always had a doubt, that is, King Zhou Muye was defeated and fled to the Lutai to set himself on fire and died. He obviously didn't have time to build In this secret realm. Then there are most likely two people left, one is King Zhou's concubine brother, Wei Ziqi who later established the state of Song; the other is King Zhou's crown prince, who later became King Wu Geng of Shang."

"Weiziqi and King Zhou are fighting for the throne, and to some extent he is a traitor to the Shang Dynasty. Moreover, he is the founding king of Song and has a good relationship with the Zhou people. It is impossible to build such a secret realm."

"Then only you are left. Zhou became the co-lord of the world after King Zhou self-immolated and died. You became the last king of the Shang Dynasty. After a few years after temporarily surrendering, you directly led the merchants to counterattack while the new king of the Zhou Dynasty was young. The battle with Zhou people lasted for three years, but it was a pity that it finally failed."

After listening to his analysis, Wu Geng's eyes flashed with surprise: "You seem to be quite clear about this past, but people in this world don't know this history. Who are you?"

Zuan sighed, "It's just a fate."

Wu Geng obviously didn't want to investigate further, he turned his head to look at Lutai next to him, his voice was a little heavy: "Do you know what happened after the defeat in the Battle of Muye?"

Zuan shook his head, seeing that the other party seemed to want to pour something, how could he interrupt.

Wu Geng stretched out his hand and flicked, and the air in front of him created waves, like a mirror, and soon some pictures appeared.

I saw a heroic and tall man fleeing back to Lutai, sighing in the sky, not wanting to be humiliated by the Zhou people, so he set himself on fire and died.

This is naturally King Zhou of Shang, and Daji died with him.

It didn't take long for the Zhou army to enter the capital of the Shang Dynasty.

The best sacrifices to heaven are human animals, and now human animals are readily available.

One hundred fortunate ministers of King Zhou were escorted to the altar, and their hands and feet were chopped off with axes and tomahawks, and they were left to tumble and struggle in the blood. The louder they shouted and the more violent the struggle and tumbling, the more abundant the sacrifices offered to the gods.

The stubborn generals on the Muye battlefield, the forty chiefs of the merchant core clan, were stripped naked and thrown into the tumbling cauldron.

The bones of King Zhou were found. The heads of him and his wives and concubines, and the ears of the enemy soldiers captured during the war were all stacked on a huge pyre and burned. .

…

Zuan and Pei Mianman have stayed in this trial for so long, and they have also been kings and queens of Shang. When they saw the cruel pictures in the pictures, their faces changed greatly, and they were very angry.

At this time, Wu Geng said: "The main reason I built this secret realm is to restore the truth of the year, and at the same time reflect on why the powerful big businessman perished."

Paused sharp eyes and looked at Zuan and Pei Mianman: "Have you gone through these trials and concluded the reason for the demise of Dashang?"

Ancestor An's head jumped. Could this be the final test? He didn't dare to neglect, he sorted out his thoughts and replied: "In my opinion, there are four main reasons, one is naturally the rise of the Zhou people. When the Northwest Qiang side was defeated, the Zhou people took advantage of the vacuum in the Guanzhong area to take advantage of the opportunity to invade. Governing the land of Guanzhong, throughout history, Guanzhong is the land of Longxing. As long as it is managed well, it is bound to be unstoppable. Unfortunately, there were other strong enemies around the Shang Dynasty at the beginning, and there was no energy to manage this side. After the Shang Dynasty solved it. After the enemy in other areas, the Zhou people have completely risen, and the Shang can only fight and pull, such as killing Ji Li and marrying Sancai. Unfortunately, the Zhou people have been deliberate, and several generations of Jian Shang have been determined, and Shang can not escape the fate of being destroyed. ."

Wu Geng expressionless: "What else?"

Zuan then replied: "The second reason is the issue of the Shang king's right of succession. Throughout the Shang dynasty, the two factions of brotherhood and brotherhood and father and son are irreconcilable, and the royal family has always been in internal strife-chaos. The state of the country has greatly reduced the national strength and cannot be unanimous to the outside world.”

Wu Geng sighed: "Yes, in the 500 years of the Shang Dynasty, the interior of the royal family was always chaotic, and the frequent relocation of the capital in history was also for this reason."

After receiving his approval, Zu An was relieved and held Pei Mianman's hand, and then continued: "The third reason is the struggle between kingship and theocratic power. The common people, as the king of Shang, must know that there are no gods, but the high priest can use the name of the gods to check and balance the king's power. No aspiring king of Shang can bear this situation, and the two sides compete for power. Actually speaking, this is similar to the second reason, after all, those high priests are also royal families who have lost their right to inherit."

Wu Geng nodded: "Starting from Yi Yin in this dynasty, great

The power of the priests is very large. The Shang kings of all dynasties wanted to take back the divine power. Unfortunately, except for a few Shang kings such as the Wu Ding Dynasty who were extremely powerful, the divine power was controlled by the high priests of other royal families... The fourth one The reason? "

"The fourth reason..." Zu An paused and said, "What I said before was the root cause of the demise of the Shang Dynasty, and the fourth reason should be the direct cause of the demise of the Shang Dynasty. , The old nobles headed by Jizi are not in line with the King of Shang because of the centuries-old tradition; Wei Ziqi is dissatisfied because the throne that originally belonged to him was lost for a funny reason, so he has to use the power of the Zhou people to become the king. In the end, he got his wish, and although he did not become the king of Shang, he became the king of Song."

"There are also those important officials in the court. Shang Rong and Xin Jia are all friendly to the people of Zhou. There must be more people who can't name them. King Zhou looked at the entire court, and there must be a kind of people who can't understand Zhou Despair."

"Actually, you said that you left out one person." Wu Geng said, "The plastic li that my father pulled up with one hand has long since secretly sought refuge with the Zhou people."

Zuan was taken aback: "Jiao Li? Wasn't he rescued from slavery by your father and then picked up by one hand? How could such a direct line join the Zhou people?"

Wu Geng snorted: "Because before his father saved him, he was bought by the Zhou people. Don't forget that he is a Dongyi, hundreds of years of war, the hatred of Dongyi and businessmen Not to mention the fact that the jade cong, the sacred object of the Dongyi people, was plundered by the big merchants, how could they really take refuge in the big merchants.”

"Jade Cong..." Zu An's head jumped. The girl Jiang Jiang outside at the time entrusted him to look for it. Wu Ding did see it at one time, and then he was buried with his wife.

But he came back to his senses immediately, and then said: "Apart from the few people just mentioned, your prince seems to be dissatisfied with King Zhou and should have participated in their rebellion. Under such circumstances, how can he be undefeated, but I don't quite understand it, others can understand that they are against King Zhou, but you are already the prince, why are you also against him?"

Wu Geng looked desolate: "Back then, my father and Wang favored Daji, and my mother was always in a state of disfavor, and she could be dismissed at any time. When Daji has another son, how can I be stable as a prince? I might as well start first. To be strong. In fact, many nobles in the court at that time did not really want to be anti-business, but just wanted to use the hands of Zhou people to force their father and king to step down. Unfortunately, they did not expect Zhou people to be so ambitious, and they aimed to destroy business from the beginning. come."

"Let the wolf into the room." Zu An sighed. The power struggle between the Shang Dynasty nobles led Dong Zhuo to the capital. How could he know that this "Dong Zhuo" was so fierce.

"It was too late when we realized that, the overall situation was settled, and the people of Zhou became the rulers of the world." Wu Geng gritted his teeth, "At that time, the people of Zhou were too powerful, so I could only keep a low profile and accumulate strength. Ji Fa died and the youngest son took the throne. I found an opportunity to fight against the Zhou people, and because I was worried about failure, I prepared this secret realm in advance, so that even if I failed, someone in the future would know the truth of the year."

After Wu Geng finished speaking, he looked at Zuan and Pei Mianman: "You are very good, the previous trials have been higher than you, but unfortunately I have directly deprived everyone of their cultivation. , turning everyone into ordinary people. Because what I am looking at is not the cultivation of the testers, but whether they can understand the anger and grievances of our businessmen, and whether they can find a solution.”

He went on to say: "There are many smart people in the previous trials, but many of them didn't get out of the first level. They were either misled by Xiao Duo or turned against Fu, or after decades of hard work. Living as an emperor, I forgot who I was and why I came here, and completely lost myself."

"In the second stage, if I didn't really care about Sancai since I was a child, she wouldn't take the initiative to propose an alternative marriage. Once a female trialist married into the Western Zhou Dynasty, there would be only a dead end."

"As for the third level, you actually sorted out the mess, knowing who was the enemy and which was the friend, the battle of Muye brought back the main force, and let your companions lead the Qi soldiers to suddenly join the battlefield, and even saw that Given my identity, if the father and king were like you back then, the ending might be really different."

Zuan and Pei Mianman looked at each other, Qi Qi breathed a sigh of relief, obviously they were the first pair of all the testers to reach this point.

Just then Wu Geng's words changed: "Unfortunately, you still haven't completed the trial, you only figured out everything at the last moment, at that time it was too late to stop anything, as long as I gave an order , the army under my command fought back, and the outcome is still doomed, you haven't changed one bit."

Zuan and Pei Mianman's expressions changed, and they fell on the final threshold of customs clearance. They were really depressed.

Wu Geng's tone was also full of regret: "Your performance in the trial is really excellent, much better than all the previous trials, but the more you do this, the more I look forward to it. Maybe there are better testers than you who can solve all this perfectly, so you are ready to die.”

After he finished speaking, his whole body slowly rose up, his whole body was full of black energy, and one hand was slowly raised, a layer of gluttonous patterns appeared on the palm of his hand, and then the whole person's palm turned into a black hole, inside There was a huge suction force, and everything around it began to be destroyed. Even the tall and majestic Lutai began to fall apart, and various things were sucked into his palm.

Obviously, he decided that the trial of the two had failed, and he wanted to close the world of this trial, waiting for a long time for the next couple of destined men and women to open.

Zuan and Pei Mianman felt a powerful soul tearing force, as if they would be sucked into each other at any time.

Pei Mianman held Zuan's hand tightly and smiled sadly: "We've spent our whole life together, and now we're satisfied to die together."

"It's so easy to die." Zaan stared at Wu Geng in mid-air and said quickly, "We didn't fail this trial, I still have a backer!"

"Oh?" Wu Geng was stunned for a moment and couldn't help sneering, "All your means

I didn't hide it from my eyes and ears, and there's no other way. "

Despite what he said, he clenched his palm slightly, and the suction around him was greatly reduced.

Zuan only felt the ground light up, and couldn't help but sigh, "It seems that you subconsciously still want us to succeed."

Wu Geng snorted coldly: "It's useless to make friends. If you can't say anything, then wait for the destruction."

Zuan replied quickly: "The purpose of your design of this secret realm is mainly to leave behind the truth of what happened back then, and to rid the Shang Dynasty of a lot of infamy; How can I get that ray of life."

"So what? Although you have accomplished the former, you are still a little short of the latter." Wu Geng said coldly.

Zuan smiled: "Do you still remember Fei Lian Ei Lai father and son?"

Wu Geng was puzzled, frowned and said: "Remember, they were promoted by you from the Han Shi, but they are also loyal soldiers. If the war situation just now continues to develop, the battle of Muye, the evil will die in battle. , Although Fei Lian escaped, he was determined to rebel against Zhou all his life, but unfortunately he was too weak to make any waves after all."

Zuan replied: "Although Fei Lian did not succeed in countering Zhou in his life, he planted a seed and passed it down from generation to generation. Fei Lian is the ancestor of the Qin people, and in the future the Zhou Dynasty will be destroyed. In the hands of the Qin state! The people of the Zhou Dynasty have been committed to the business for generations, and they have succeeded in destroying the business; this is also true for Feilian."

"Fei Lian is the ancestor of the Qin people?" Wu Geng was stunned, closed his eyes, and seemed to be searching for some information quickly.

After a while, he suddenly opened his eyes and laughed loudly: "Fei Lian raised the evil son, female defense, and the female defense gave birth to Pang Gao, Pang Gao gave birth to too many, too few gave birth to Da Luo , Da Luo gave birth to Feizi, Feizi established Qin State, and in the future Qin State destroyed Zhou, hahaha, wonderful, really wonderful!"

Zu An secretly called it a fluke. If it weren't for the existence of Queen Mi Li of Daqin, he would not be so clear about these relationships, so when he saw Fei Lian's father and son, he immediately reused them. At that time, he also thought of using them as a Later, I didn't expect it to actually be used.

Wu Geng completely put away his hands and slowly landed from the air to the ground, and everything around him that had collapsed fell into a static state.

He looked at Zaan with a complicated expression: "You really surprised me that there was such an arrangement. Although this is not a direct change of fate, changing the ending of the Shang Dynasty. But even if you change, so what? , after all, all of this is in the world of trials, all false, and cannot affect the reality at all, which is as happy as the fact that Fei Lian's descendants in the real history destroyed Zhou Lai."

Zuan bowed his hands: "It's just a fluke. In the end, it's the prince who has the hope for the testers in his heart, and that's why he gave us so many opportunities."

Wu Geng nodded slightly: "It's not bad, I'm not complacent. If my father was as humble as you back then, he wouldn't have caused everyone to betray and leave."

Zuan didn't get involved. People say that his father can do it. It's easy to get bad luck if you say it yourself: "I don't know if we have passed this trial?"

Wu Geng did not look at him, but asked in a deep voice: "Answer my last question, why did you read the "Phoenix Nirvana Sutra" of the Zhou royal family? Could it be that you have also entered the secret realm of the Zhou Dynasty?"

He did not suspect that the other party was a descendant of the Zhou royal family. After all, in the trial, this guy chopped Ji Chang and his son directly into meat sauce. How could there be such an unworthy descendant.

As for the "Hongmeng Yuanshi Jing" written by the Qin royal family on the other side, he is not familiar with it, so he is not so sensitive.

Feeling the flickering murderous intent in the other's eyes, Zaan replied cautiously, "I haven't entered the Zhouren trial, but a senior who has entered, and it was a coincidence that I was cheap." He roughly put the rice The old man's story was told again.

"That's good, that's good." Wu Geng laughed when he heard it: "It seems that you really have a lot of blessings, and you are qualified to accept the inheritance of our Shang Dynasty."

Speaking, he threw a bronze book coupon over, Zaan took it, and read the big characters on the top of the copper coupon: "Taotie Swallowing Heaven"!

"This is considered a reward for passing the test," Wu Geng said, ""Taotie Swallowing the Heavens" is the supreme treasure book only qualified to cultivate by the Shang kings of all dynasties, and it is more powerful than the "Phoenix Nirvana Sutra" of the Zhou people Duo, how could my big business lose to Zhou people in this regard!"

Hearing the resentment in his tone, Zaan couldn't help but rejoice, it seems that this guy's resentment towards Zhou Ren is really unreasonable.

He hurriedly asked: "What about my companion? Can she cultivate this thing? What reward does she have?"

Wu Geng said lightly, "Only the king of Shang can practice "Taotie Swallowing the Heavens", so naturally she can't. But you don't have to worry, she will also gain something."

Speaking of a piece of jade that was full of light and flowed into Pei Mianman's hands, Wu Geng explained: "This is Tianzhi jade, which can absorb the vitality of heaven and earth, and make cultivation more effective. There is another function, as long as this jade is not sold, Even if the body dies, the soul is still immortal."

Pei Mianman put this jade in the palm of his hand and felt that his soul had been greatly nourished, and he could imagine how much it helped his cultivation. And listening to the meaning of the other party's words, this seems to be equivalent to having a second life?

Wu Geng continued: "In addition, through this jade, you can get the approval of the owl at the entrance of the trial. It is also a powerful magic weapon. You were a good wife in your previous life, and you are a perfect match."

Pei Mianman's eyes lit up: "Thank you, Prince!"

"I should thank you all," Wu Geng waved his hands. "You can leave on your own. I, a sinner, finally have the face to pay homage to the ancestors in the Taimiao Temple..." After speaking, he turned around with a desolate expression. After leaving, the figure gradually turned into nothingness.
