The Old Man Tianxuan Divines the Secrets of Heaven (Part 2)

The old man said, "Originally, Qin Shi Huang once boasted that his descendants would rule the Great Qin Dynasty for generations to come. For thousands of years, the world would always belong to his descendants.

However, after Qin Shi Huang's death, the court officials were incompetent and corrupt, and the royal family was incapable. They were extremely overbearing and imposed heavy taxes and levies, which made the common people's lives miserable. In the end, the Qin Dynasty could not avoid the fate of being destroyed.

The common people all over the country rose up in rebellion, all wanting to overthrow the Qin Dynasty. Among them, the most outstanding were Xiang Yu and Liu Bang.

At first, they were both unknown, but after countless battles, they both became powerful lords in their own regions. Only these two could rival each other in the whole world.

But in the end, Xiang Yu, who had a large and powerful force, could not defeat the crafty and shrewd Liu Bang. Everyone thought that Xiang Yu would be the founder of the next dynasty, but Xiang Yu eventually lost to Liu Bang.

Xiang Yu felt too ashamed to face his fellow villagers in Jiangdong and his friends who had made an oath with him in the past. He failed to fulfill his oath and finally committed suicide by cutting his throat by the Wu River.

However, in this old man's heart, Xiang Yu is a true hero!

Although he committed suicide, some people said that Xiang Yu could have endured for ten years and tried to make a comeback, which was not impossible. However, if he had done so, he would not have been Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu was straightforward and honest and did not know how to play tricks. This is what a true hero is like, unlike the treacherous Liu Bang.

The heroic spirit and righteousness that were in Xiang Yu's bones are exactly what we men need. Xiang Yu embodied the justice of the martial arts world and the chivalrous way. This old man respects him deeply!"

After hearing this, the crowd all clapped and praised.

These words were like a clear spring and also like a magical thing that could stir up the blood in their bodies. They had an indescribable urge in their hearts.

Their blood was boiling, and their hearts had returned to that chaotic era of war along with the old man's words. They felt the tragic sentiment of Xiang Yu back then, and they also developed a deep sense of respect for Xiang Yu.

Perhaps it was the old man's words that made everyone's hearts come alive.

Someone in the crowd said, "Yes, Liu Bang is a villain, and Xiang Yu is a true great hero！"

The old man smiled slightly, seemingly happy that his words had touched the crowd.

The old man said, "Liu Bang established the Great Han Dynasty. But at that time, the Xiongnu in the north were powerful, and the weak Han Dynasty could not compete with them. Therefore, the emperor at that time adopted the policy of marriage alliances to relieve the pressure from the Xiongnu in the north.

The most famous case was Wang Zhaojun. For the sake of national righteousness and to ensure the stability of the Han Dynasty, Zhaojun was willing to marry the Xiongnu chieftain.

On the day when Zhaojun set out for the frontier, everyone wept. This was not only because Zhaojun's beauty was unparalleled in the world at that time but also because of her spirit of sacrificing for the country and the people. This was the heart of a heroic woman.

Zhaojun is a heroic woman. This old man calls her so. What do you all think?"

A thin man in the crowd said, "That's right. Zhaojun is a role model for all women in the world. For the sake of national righteousness, she sacrificed herself and married into the Xiongnu. Her qualities make even us men feel ashamed. Zhaojun is a true female hero!"

The old man smiled slightly, seemingly quite pleased with this person's words, and said, "This young man must also be a man of true feelings.

In the early days of the Han Dynasty, although the policy of marriage alliances brought temporary peace to the Han Dynasty, the threat from the Xiongnu in the north always existed, and people were worried, fearing that the Xiongnu would suddenly invade the Central Plains.

Just then, Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, ascended the throne. Liu Che recruited capable generals, implemented an enlightened policy, and sent great generals such as Wei Qing and Huo Qubing to the Western Regions. They fought against the Xiongnu several times.

In the end, the Xiongnu were so terrified that they dared not invade the Central Plains again. Emperor Wu of Han's merits can be compared to those of Qin Shi Huang.

He dispatched Zhang Qian to the Western Regions, spreading the culture of the Central Plains abroad, showcasing the splendor of China. Sima Qian wrote books and established theories, and completed the great historical work "Records of the Grand Historian", which became the originator of later historians.

However, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, and the Han Dynasty was on the verge of collapse. Heroes from all over the country waged wars, all wanting to become the overlord of the world.

Among them were Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao, Sun Quan, Liu Bei, etc. They kept fighting with each other. In the end, the Three Kingdoms of Wei, Shu, and Wu divided the world, forming a tripartite confrontation that lasted for decades.

The Kingdom of Wei had many strategists, but Cao Cao was extremely suspicious by nature, causing many strategists to die unjustly. Its military generals included Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Hong, Cao Zhang, etc.

The Kingdom of Wu was located in Jiangdong, and it also had many talented people. Zhou Yu, Huang Gai, Lu Su, Lu Xun, Gan Ning, etc. were all great generals of the Kingdom of Wu.

As for the Kingdom of Shu, it had Zhuge Liang in terms of civil affairs and the Five Tiger Generals in terms of military affairs. Zhuge Liang knew astronomy above and geography below, and was proficient in all kinds of strange arts and military strategies. He was a military genius.

When Liu Bei visited Zhuge Liang's thatched cottage three times and met him, Zhuge Liang had already predicted the division of the world into three parts. As the saying goes, he determined the situation of the world without leaving his thatched cottage, and could plan strategies in the tent and achieve victory thousands of miles away.

Zhuge Liang's ability was unparalleled!

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, and Ma Chao were all brave and skilled in battle, galloping on the battlefield and making great contributions to the Kingdom of Shu.

However, the tripartite confrontation of the Three Kingdoms did not last long. In the end, Zhuge Liang lost to the crafty and calculating Sima Yi and died at Wuzhangyuan.

The Three Kingdoms were finally unified by the Jin Dynasty.

During the period of the Three Kingdoms, there was another strange story that was not widely known. Today, the story that this old man is going to tell is related to the Three Kingdoms. "

When the crowd heard this, they were all extremely surprised. They were very familiar with the stories of the Three Kingdoms, but they were curious about how strange the story the old man was going to tell was.

Everyone was looking forward to it, because every time the old man told a story, he would start with some unimportant stories and then tell the real story at the crucial moment.

People were already used to this, but they were still a little surprised now.

A fat man in the crowd asked, "Old immortal, please tell the story quickly. We are all impatient. We don't know what this strange story of the Three Kingdoms is?"

The old man stroked his beard and said, "Do you know what kind of sword the famous General Guan, who was so powerful on the battlefield back then, used?"

A young and strong man in the crowd said, "I know. The sword that General Guan used back then was called the Green Dragon Crescent Blade."

The old man smiled slightly and said, "That's right. General Guan had extraordinary strength. This 82-jin Green Dragon Broadsword was as easy to handle as a chopstick in General Guan's hands.

Back then, General Guan shocked the entire army with this Green Dragon Crescent Blade.

However, people don't know that there is a little-known story hidden in this sword..."

After hearing this, everyone widened their eyes. They all had no idea what kind of astonishing story was hidden behind this famous broadsword that had once shocked the entire army.

The old man continued, "Back then, General Guan, Liu Bei, and Zhang Fei swore brotherhood in the Peach Garden. They vowed to serve the country loyally and bring peace to the people. They didn't ask to be born on the same day, but they hoped to die on the same day.

So, General Guan invited the most famous swordsmith at that time to forge this Green Dragon Crescent Blade for the purpose of killing enemies in the future.

This Green Dragon Crescent Blade was tempered for eighty-one days before it finally saw the light of day.

At that moment, when the broadsword was taken out of the furnace, a ray of colored light shot into the furnace from the sky. The sky, which had originally been a vast expanse of blue,

was now filled with rolling dark clouds, like turbulent waves. There were flashes of lightning, peals of thunder, and a downpour of rain, as if the Heavenly Lord was enraged.

Suddenly, three shining characters appeared in the sky! Guess what these three characters were?"

Everyone shook their heads, not knowing what those three characters were.

The old man said, "The three characters were 'Sword', 'Blade', and 'Moon'.

At that time, General Guan was greatly astonished when he saw these three characters. General Guan rubbed his eyes, trying to see clearly whether it was real or not.

But when General Guan looked up at the sky again, the three characters 'Sword', 'Blade', and 'Moon' were still clearly reflected in the sky.

Now, General Guan was even more surprised. Seeing such a strange thing, although General Guan was extremely brave, how could he not be afraid?

These three characters, 'Sword', 'Blade', and 'Moon', remained in the sky for about half the time it took to burn a stick of incense.

General Guan had also thought that this Green Dragon Crescent Blade was a weapon of killing. However, General Guan had a life of integrity and always behaved properly. He never believed in the words of ghosts and gods. Whenever he encountered an unjust situation, he would always draw his sword to help.

Although General Guan didn't know what the meaning of these three characters 'Sword', 'Blade', and 'Moon' was, he didn't pay much attention to it. In the end, General Guan dominated the battlefield with this Green Dragon Crescent Blade..."

After hearing this, everyone was shocked by this incredible story. They never expected that this Green Dragon Crescent Blade would have such a story behind it.

Someone in the crowd asked, "Old immortal, do you know what the meaning of these three characters 'Sword', 'Blade', and 'Moon' is?"

Suddenly, the old man's eyes shot out an infinite light, as if he was extremely alert. Then he looked around and saw a group of guards dressed in green clothes. In an instant, they surrounded the teahouse.

These people were very fast, and their movements were smooth and coordinated. Obviously, they were well-trained on a daily basis. These people were the Jinyiwei of the Eastern Depot.

The leader pointed at the old man and shouted, "Where did this crazy old man come from? How dare he talk nonsense here!"

Everyone had already been so scared that they dodged around. But the teahouse was very small, and there was no way to accommodate them. Some of the tea customers even crawled under the tables.

The old man didn't seem surprised at all. He remained calm and composed and said, "Every word this old man said is true. I'm not talking nonsense."

After saying that, the old man's gaze suddenly shot towards the leader of the Jinyiwei. His gaze was like a bolt of lightning and also like a sharp arrow.

When the man's gaze met the old man's, he fell down immediately and didn't move. He was dead, and he died very quickly. Everyone was horrified.

They never expected that a gaze could kill a person. Seeing this today, it was like they had entered a different world. The old man had actually killed this person with his gaze. This was really unbelievable.

Someone in the Jinyiwei stammered, "T... Tianxuan... Old Man!"

他的话一出，在场的所有人都吓坏了。

的确，这个老者就是郭浩天，天玄老人。传闻天玄老爷子可以窥探天界的秘密，天间万物都在他的预期之中。他是一个神话人物，也是一个非常神秘的人。

据说，郭浩天不仅能识得后，而且武功极其深奥。从来没有人见过他的武功，因为见过的人都已经死了！

郭浩天微微一笑，道：“你的视力不错。万万没想到，这世上居然还有人能认出这个老人。我想我的生命并没有白费。这个老头子要走了......”

说完，郭浩天便跃到空中，像鬼一样消失在众人的视线中......

锦衣卫没有追他，因为根本没有必要。郭浩天的轻功，在世上无人能及。他们只能静静地看着郭浩天渐行渐远......
