Chapter 18 Longquan Sword, Huayang Acupuncture!
"The territory is vast, the power extends across the country, all nations come to pay tribute, and the world is at peace. This is the Tang Dynasty in my mind." Yuan Tiangang said with a melancholy tone. He had seen the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and that was a place he could never go back to.
"Yes, this is the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty that so many people dream of, but I once imagined that one day, there would be only one Tang Dynasty in the world." Li Xingyun couldn't help but smile when he said this. Even the most conservative Chinese, as long as they are Chinese, will have such an idea of great unification. After all, the world should be just one big China.
"There is only one Tang Dynasty in the world?" Yuan Tiangang was not like Li Xingyun who surfed the Internet in the future, so he naturally could not understand what he meant at the first time. However, after savoring it carefully, Yuan Tiangang also appreciated the domineering nature of this sentence, so Yuan Tiangang smiled and said, "Your Highness, this sentence seems to have multiple interpretations."
"That depends on how far we can go." Li Xingyun and Yuan Tiangang smiled at each other and ended the topic tacitly. Some things seem too pretentious if you say too much, so just mention them briefly.
"Your Highness is leaving the valley today. I have a few things to give to Your Highness." After saying this, Yuan Tiangang waved his hand, and three bad guys suddenly appeared in the room. One of them held an ancient sword box, one held a sandalwood box, and one held a jade token. Yuan Tiangang waved his hand and said, "The Longquan Sword, the Huayang Acupuncture, and the Bad Guys' Token are the gifts I prepared for Your Highness, and they are also the things Your Highness should be in charge of."
Li Xingyun narrowed his eyes slightly, took the Longquan sword box first, and drew out the sword with a clang. The sword had intricate and exquisite patterns on the blade, and was four feet long and four inches wide. Li Xingyun praised, "It is worthy of being one of the ten famous swords. It is a good sword, but the Qinglian Sword Song swordsmanship I practiced is tricky and strange, and it is not suitable for this sword."
Yuan Tiangang clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. I will soon go and find the best Longquan Sword Technique in the world for Your Highness. When Ou Yezi, the founder of sword forging in the Spring and Autumn Period, forged the Longquan Sword, he also created a Longquan Sword Technique that is exclusive to the Longquan Sword. The Longquan Sword Technique is fierce and domineering. It is the most suitable sword technique for this sword and the most suitable sword technique for Your Highness to practice."
Li Xingyun's eyes narrowed when he heard this. How could he be treated so well? You should know that in the original plot, Li Xingyun spent a lot of effort to obtain the Longquan Sword Skills. In the end, Li Xingyun only got all the Longquan Sword Skills when Yuan Tiangang asked for death.
After accepting the Longquan sword, Li Xingyun looked at the wooden box beside him. Yuan Tiangang introduced it at the right time: "This is a set of Huayang needles made of black iron. People have three burners. The essence produces qi, and the qi produces spirit in the rolling. Therefore, Huayang needles hold three needles and only use three methods: shaking, twisting and lifting. It has two meanings: killing and healing. It can kill people and save people. The formula of the needle method is in the wooden box. Your Highness has been familiar with major medical books in Jianlu for eight years. I also taught you the method of acupuncture in those days. This acupuncture method is easy for Your Highness to master."
Li Xingyun picked up the wooden box containing the Huayang acupuncture method. With a click, the wooden box opened, revealing a set of Huayang needles and a paper formula. This set of acupuncture methods runs through the entire world of the Bad People. Li Xingyun glanced through the formula of Huayang acupuncture and said, "Thank you, Marshal. What is this token?"
Yuan Tiangang picked up the token and presented it to Li Xingyun with both hands. "Since Wu Zetian's favorite minister Zhang Wulang used this token to lead the Bad People in rebellion, I have taken back this order. Since then, the Bad People have not recognized the token or the imperial edict, and only recognized Yuan Tiangang. Today, I will issue this order again, and Your Highness can mobilize all the Bad People in the world!"
Li Xingyun took the token from Yuan Tiangang, and also took Yuan Tiangang's earnest expectations. He used his two souls to do things against the will of heaven. He knew that the Tang Dynasty had fallen, but that was the Tang Dynasty of the past, not his Tang Dynasty now. As long as he was alive, the Tang Dynasty would not have fallen! Moreover, he had clearly known that he could not be a free and easy knight in the rivers and lakes. In this case, he would enter the game and ask the heroes of this troubled time with his sword!
Carrying the Longquan Sword, Li Xingyun stepped out of the hall. What he saw was a sea of figures, wearing black armor, Tang swords, bamboo hats, ghost masks...
"The Three Thousand Bad People Courtyard, we pay our respects to His Highness!"
"The bad guy Qin Yong, I pay my respects to His Highness!"
"The bad man Qin Meng, I pay my respects to His Highness!"
"Unruly man Yang Shuzi, I pay my respects to His Highness!"...
Thousands of bad guys shouted in unison: "Greetings, Your Highness!"
"Everyone, please stand up!" Even Li Xingyun felt a surge of energy and a sense of heroism in his heart. He stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, before the Bad People were disbanded, many of our thirty-six Tiangang lieutenants had died in battle. Excluding a few lieutenants who were on missions outside and a few who retired, there are only a few of us in the Cangbing Valley now."
At this time, Sanqianyuan looked like a burly middle-aged man, but Li Xingyun knew that this might not be his true appearance. His true appearance was probably only seen by Yuan Tiangang. Li Xingyun smiled and said, "It's okay, it's enough."
Li Xingyun took out the token Yuan Tiangang had just given him and shouted, "Unruly Yang Shuzi, listen to my order. I am now ordering you to go to Luoyang to contact the local unruly people and find out the deployment of the Liang army in Luoyang and the whereabouts of Wang Yanzhang. This matter is very important!"
"I will obey your orders." Yang Shuzi clasped his fists and accepted the order, then left with several bad guys.
Li Xingyun added: "Unruly Qin Meng, listen to my order, go to Taiyuan, Jin State immediately and find out the origins of Zhang Zifan, the adopted son of Li Siyuan, the Saint Master of Tongwenguan."
"I obey your orders." Qin Meng clasped his fists and left. Li Xingyun looked at the remaining bad people and said, "Everyone else, follow me to Yuzhou. The bait has been thrown out, and now it's time to harvest. I will make sure that all the people from the Xuanming Sect die without a burial place!"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
As the bad guys left one after another, Lu Linxuan stared at Li Xingyun on the high platform. At this time, she finally realized what the bloodline of her senior brother Li Tang meant... Senior brother, will he be the future emperor?
"Your Highness, I respectfully bid you farewell!" Yuan Tiangang did not ask Li Xingyun why he was investigating Wang Yanzhang, nor did he ask Li Xingyun why he was investigating Zhang Zifan. This was not something he should ask as a subject. What he had to do was to delegate power to Li Xingyun and unconditionally support Li Xingyun!
In the past three hundred years, no one knew how to be a minister better than Yuan Tiangang. If the monarch at the end of the Tang Dynasty had not been really hopeless, he would not have had to work so hard for thirty years.
"Marshal." Li Xingyun looked at Yuan Tiangang and said in a deep voice: "There is no cure for the troubled times. Only by cutting flesh and scraping bones can we live again. Marshal, you can't take action unless it is necessary, so as to prevent the kings from lying dormant and waiting for those evil spirits hiding in the dark to come out together. Then we can catch them all in one fell swoop!"
Yuan Tiangang cupped his hands and said loudly, "I understand. Your Highness, just go ahead and do it. If the sky falls, I will bear the consequences!"
