These are relics of famous generals who once fought on the battlefield. If they had the ability to stop them from taking these things away while the generals stood by indifferently, how could they face their ancestors after death?
But is it right to sacrifice more people for these inanimate objects? This genius of Quanzhen was lost in confusion.
"Great genius, he might be right."
A mysterious voice came from the side. Li turned his head and frowned slightly: "What about the Zhuge family? Is today a gathering of descendants of the Three Kingdoms?"
"Hmm."
The man in the blue robe, with one eye closed, elegantly waved his feather fan and hummed with a slight smile, "No, no, no, to be honest, I was surprised too."
Unexpectedly, the Cao family still has descendants, and they are even protected by the Tiger General Xu Chu.
At the same time, I didn't expect that at a time when no one was prepared to make a move, it would be the Cao family who would be the first to step forward.
As he spoke, the man in the blue robe seemed slightly dejected.
"In the past, in order to protect all the people under heaven, our ancestors knew it was impossible but did it anyway, and came out of seclusion to help Lord Xuande fight against the treacherous Cao Cao who committed the atrocities of massacring cities."
Now, under this tacit understanding, it is actually Cao Cao's descendant who has stepped forward; it is truly shameful.”
"Did you hear all that? You sorcerers love to eavesdrop, don't you?"
Li Ze looked displeased, asked a question, paused for a moment, and then said, "You sorcerers can divine, so you should know that some things are already predetermined, and even your ancestor Zhuge Liang could not defy fate."
Even if we intervene, the future remains unchanged.
Preserving a few places might be possible, but the fall of the capital and the demise of the Qing Dynasty were irreversible.
"It seems to me that there is no point in making greater sacrifices just to protect some people and some dead things."
Zhuge Feng shook his head slightly, his expression enigmatic, and said, "Originally, I thought the same as you, but Cao Yanbing's words enlightened me."
The important thing is not the result, but the hope that the process brings to people. If we ignore it, on the one hand, the Han people who have been slaughtered and oppressed will see no hope, and on the other hand, these things that represent the dignity of our ancestors will be scattered abroad, which is the collapse of our spiritual pillar. Then the dignity of the Han people will truly be trampled underfoot.
Li Ze's eyes flickered, and it was unclear what kind of internal struggle he was going through.
After a long silence, Li Ze, seemingly having made a decision, exhaled a breath of stale air and asked, glancing sideways, "So, you're going to make your move?"
"What do you think?"
With a gentle tap of his cloth shoes, Zhuge Feng sent earth and stones rising, carrying him out of the Summer Palace: "Kun-character earthen river cart."
Looking into the distance at Cao Yanbing, who stood guard at the gate of the Summer Palace, holding off the foreign invaders, Li Ze suddenly felt a sense of relief.
"Hey, Senior Brother, slow down! I'm not as fast as you. Did you run into that... foreign kid?"
Daoqing, panting heavily, walked over to Li Ze's side on the roof tiles and asked.
"No."
Li Ze suddenly looked in the direction of the Old Summer Palace, thinking to himself that the person Dao Qing had mentioned should be there.
At first, he might not have understood why that person would do such a thing, and he might have suspected that it was an intentional attempt to provoke a war between supernatural beings from different countries.
After meeting Cao Yanbing, he roughly understood the purpose of the two men. As for Dao Qing's mention of the foreigner's identity, Li had some guesses in his mind.
In this world, there is a cycle of life and death, and after death, there are spirits that remain. Perhaps that powerful being was an elder who, due to some twist of fate, could only appear as a foreigner.
As for whether it was an accidental reincarnation with retained memories, or a possession by an old monster, he didn't know.
"Let's go."
"Ah, where are you going?"
"Expel the barbarians!"
"What! Senior Brother Li, isn't the task Master gave us..."
"Are you going or not? No, I'll go alone."
Li Ze glanced at him coldly, then followed after him with mysterious steps.
Seeing this, Daoqing looked troubled.
"What kind of bewitching potion has Senior Brother been given? Oh no, this is going to be a disaster!"
After a few self-deprecating sighs, the middle-aged Taoist priest Daoqing said with a ruthless tone, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty: "Forget it, if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up."
I'm just a nobody, insignificant in the world of supernatural beings, but if anything happens to my senior brother, my master will skin me alive.
Junior brother, this time I'm risking my life to accompany you!
Swish! At the entrance of the Summer Palace, as the number of allied forces and superhumans increased, Cao Yanbing began to sweat.
"Gun and cannons are just too annoying."
With a sizzle, the Ten Kings of Hell streaked across the ground, sending a strange man rushing towards them flying with a thud.
"My lord, be careful!"
Seeing a grenade pass through the gap, Xu Chu, who was constantly knocking away and killing enemies, roared, took a few big steps and leaped up, sweeping his Demon Hammer horizontally.
Bang! A grenade exploded in mid-air. Just as Xu Chu was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the Yiren and soldiers behind him seized the opportunity to attack.
Get out of my way!!!
With keen senses, Xu Chu roared like thunder, his body trembling as he turned and swept those ignorant strangers away.
Clang, clang, clang. The bullets struck his armor, producing only a few sparks, without even managing to dent it.
The enemy soldiers were so terrified by Xu Chu's enormous and terrifying appearance that they could barely hold their guns. It was only because they seemed to have some "experts" with special abilities on their side that they were able to hold on.
It's likely that even orders from their superiors wouldn't have stopped them from escaping.
Even so, it still put a lot of pressure on Cao Yanbing.
Cao Yanbing, a simple soldier, faced no pressure, and he could also hold out for a long time against a single superhuman, even if the number of individuals on one side were doubled.
However, this combination is actually consuming a lot of his energy. The harassment from guns and ammunition makes it difficult for him to exert his full strength, and the interference from the superhumans makes it difficult for him to kill those soldiers.
Wiping away his sweat, Cao Yanbing looked displeased.
"This is troublesome. I wish Xiao Liang were here."
"King Yama's Cannon!"
Boom! He raised the Ten Kings of Hell, his spiritual power rapidly draining away, and an astonishingly scorching sea of fire roared out.
"Monster!"
"Run! Run!"
Before the screams of terror could even grow loud, most of the soldiers were burned alive by a single cannon shot.
Even the buildings were destroyed by the impact, with a row of them collapsing all the way to the horizon.
The soldiers and aliens who were not within the range of the flames were startled, then filled with relief.
Suddenly, the supernatural beings noticed that their opponent was slightly out of breath after unleashing this attack. They immediately exchanged a glance and attacked Cao Yanbing with murderous intent.
"Die, you brat!"
"The wind howls in the Xun character!"
Whoosh! The wind fanned the flames, and the cylindrical Yama Cannon instantly transformed into a wide fan-shaped area, engulfing the remaining soldiers and supernatural beings in terror.
"Hey, this wind is blowing pretty well."
I'm so upset, I owe so much more and more, waaaaaah!
Chapter 186 The Divine Interpretation of Zhuge Liang (2/21)
"Um"
Cao Yanbing, leaning on the Ten Kings of Hell, turned his head and looked at the man in blue robes who was standing on the earth and rocks with one eye open and the other closed, looking dashing. He immediately thought to himself with a dead fish-like look, "Show-off."
Especially the way the other person was holding that goose feather fan—it was like they were playing around.
"Hey, who are you?"
"Hehe, I've met Chief Cao before."
"I am Zhuge Feng, a descendant of the Zhuge family."
Zhuge Feng said calmly.
Cao Yanbing's eyes changed slightly, and his lips twitched as he said, "What are you doing here, someone from the Zhuge family?"
""
Now it was Zhuge Feng's turn to be speechless.
"I'm obviously here to help you, can't you see that? Are Cao Cao's descendants really that stupid?" *Ahem*, Cao Cao's words were so inspiring, even the wind couldn't help but be infected by them.
Can you speak properly?
Zhuge Feng smiled and ignored the other party's words, instead changing the subject and saying, "I've heard that you have seven 7-guardian spirits. Given Cao Cao's status, the remaining six 66-guardian spirits should be people close to Cao Cao from back then. The Xiahou brothers are probably one of them. So who else is there? Zhang Wen, who was famous for his bravery at Xiaoyao Ford, or Dian Wei, the ancient evil, or Xun Wenruo, who has the talent of a king's advisor, or the genius born like Guo Jia, or Xu Huang, who has the style of Zhou Yafu, and the other five elite generals?"
Despite saying that, Zhuge Feng did not believe that Xun Yu would become the guardian spirit of Cao Cao's descendants.
After all, Xun Yu was loyal to the Han Dynasty from beginning to end. He only helped Cao Cao because he believed that Cao Cao had the ability to save the Han Dynasty. Therefore, he had irreconcilable conflicts with Cao Cao in his later years.
Upon hearing this, Cao Yanbing raised an eyebrow and said, "Are you trying to gather intelligence?"
"Just out of curiosity."
Zhuge Feng remained calm.
Cao Yanbing shrugged noncommittally, looking at the allied forces that had regrouped, and casually said, "That's a real shame. The remaining few were all generals back then."
"But since you want to see him, you can't wait any longer, can you, Dian Wei!"
Boom! The ground shook, and a rough sound rang out.
"This humble general, Dian Wei, greets my lord!"
Behind Cao Yanbing, another giant, burly man, wielding two halberds and no smaller than Xu Chu, appeared.
Dian Wei is interesting.
Zhuge Feng's smile deepened, and he said with a hint of cunning, "These should be the two strongest generals in Cao Cao's army. I just wonder if Cao Cao is prepared to recreate the glory of the Cao family in this era."
"Um"
Now it was Cao Yanbing's turn to be a little confused.
Compared to the cold-blooded and ruthless Cao Cao, Zhuge Feng saw something different in Cao Yanbing.
Meanwhile, previously, through the phrase "listening to the wind's whisper"...
From the overheard conversation, I learned that Cao Yanbing said, "If you kill one of my people, I will repay you tenfold."
His ruthless and ambitious demeanor stirred a slight sense of anticipation within him.
The fact that extraordinary individuals cannot affect the world of ordinary people is unclear. Was it during the Manchu Qing Dynasty or the Yuan Dynasty? Zhuge Feng, who was born in this era, does not know when that began.
However, he knew that there were no such restrictions during the Eastern Han Dynasty.
If Zhuge Liang can be called one of the greatest extraordinary individuals, then the famous figures of that era were certainly extraordinary as well. Take Xu Chu and Dian Wei, for example; if they weren't extraordinary individuals in life, how could they have become so-called "guardian spirits" with such power?
Then how could Zhou Yu, the handsome Zhou Gongjin, Pang Tong, the phoenix chick, and even Sun Quan, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei not be considered "extraordinary people"?
Therefore, Zhuge Feng secretly began to have some expectations for Cao Yanbing in front of him.
"Do you wish to follow your lord?"
Cao Yanbing was still a little confused, but Xu Chu, who had met scholars like Xu You and Jia Xu, understood the situation better. While blocking the enemy's approach, he turned around and asked.
"What? You want to conquer the world with me?"
Cao Yanbing was completely dumbfounded.
Although Yu Jin, Xu Chu, and Dian Wei all believed that he had the makings of a hero, and he was unwilling to be second to anyone and be driven by others, conquering the world and becoming a ruler was not something he considered.
After all, this wasn't his world. He still needed to go back to find Xiao Liang. Besides, being born in the modern world, he had no intention of ruling the world, at least not over ordinary people.
Seeing Cao Yanbing like this, Zhuge Feng even wondered if he had lost his mind.
However, seeing that the enemy forces were increasing in number, Zhuge Feng put aside the idea for the time being and said, "Brother Daoman, I hope you will listen to my command later."
If we fight one-on-one with just the few of us, even if we aren't defeated, we'll eventually be worn down and killed.
Upon arriving, Li Zeqing coldly replied, "Alright."
