Chapter 44: Jing Ke Assassinates Qin (Two in One, Please Read)
Feeling the Heavenly Emperor's Law in his mind, Ying Zheng remembered the reward he signed in for last time at Longhu Mountain.
Heavenly Master!
It contains the entire inheritance of Zhengyi Taoism, including the "Zhengyi Mengwei Lu" bestowed by Laojun in the past.
With a thought, Ying Zheng activated the Heavenly Emperor's Law, and the Heavenly Master's Speed was instantly absorbed by it.
In just a moment, Ying Zheng learned all the methods of the Zhengyi Dao that had been passed down for more than 1,800 years.
"?" Yan Hui looked towards Ying Zheng suddenly. At that moment, he felt an extremely domineering aura, as if the heaven and earth were absorbing all things.
"Your Majesty has a lot of secrets. It might not have been that easy to raise corpses back then!" Yan Hui thought to himself.
In the past few days, he has already found out everything about the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor.
Even if Ying Zheng was powerful, he would not be this powerful.
Whether it was inviting blessings from the heavenly officials with just a word, or suppressing the immortal Zhang Jiao with a wave of his hand.
This is not the strength a zombie can possess.
This First Emperor possessed a secret that could change the world, and this was the most important reason why Yan Hui chose the Qin Dynasty.
"Let's go, sir!" After absorbing the entire Heavenly Master's degree, Ying Zheng opened his eyes and looked at Yan Hui.
Yan Hui nodded and didn't ask any more questions from beginning to end.
As ministers, Confucians are professional.
The way to be an official has been passed down since the time of Confucius.
A golden light suddenly appeared on Ying Zheng's body, turning into a golden rainbow that cut through the sky.
Yan Hui was stunned when he saw this. Is this a Taoist method? Where did Ying Zheng learn this from?
No, I should say how I learned it!
As the saying goes, people with different beliefs cannot work together. Even though Ying Zheng turned into a zombie and ascended to the throne of god, the path he took was completely different from Taoism.
Shouldn't Taoist methods be used?
"The First Emperor...is he really the one who appeared to change the world?" A smile appeared on Yan Hui's lips; his choice seemed extremely correct.
Thinking in his heart, Yan Hui took a step forward, and Wen Yun turned into a golden lotus to lift him up.
Ying Zheng did not go anywhere else, but returned directly to Mount Tai.
With Yan Hui's joining, some plans can be changed.
As a Confucian saint, Yan Hui was qualified and capable of doing things for him.
……
In Mount Li, Jiang Shan was directing various departments to coordinate and announce the truth about Ying Zheng's resurgence.
His assistant trotted over to Jiang Shan.
"Commander, something happened over at Taishan."
"Something happened? What happened?" Jiang Shanyan's expression immediately became nervous.
Nothing is trivial if it has anything to do with Ying Zheng!
"Someone went to Mount Tai, and it seemed to be an ancestor!" the assistant said as he handed over the tablet in his hand.
Jiang Shan looked over quickly.
on the screen.
At the foot of Mount Tai.
A thin figure stood there.
Snow began to fall from the originally clear sky.
There was light rain mixed with the snow.
The man was standing at the junction of Mount Tai and heaven and earth, dressed as a knight and holding a sword in his left hand.
He had neither an umbrella nor a hat. The melted snow and ice flowed down his face and onto his neck. He was only wearing a very thin piece of clothing.
He is waiting for someone!
Waiting for the person that the whole world is paying attention to.
"This is... has it been screened using portraits?" Jiang Shan turned around and asked, looking at the man in the surveillance video.
"I have checked it and it does not match the ancestor of the three religions, but the style of the clothes he is wearing seems to be traced back to the pre-Qin period."
"I checked the sword in his hand and found that it was made in the Yan State during the Warring States Period."
Jiang Shan frowned and looked carefully at the man holding the sword in the picture. He didn't seem strong. Was he just a delivery man?
"I've asked Taoist Qingxuzi and the others, and they revealed that this person seems to have reached the fifth level of cultivation, which is rare in the world. He should be the ancestor of someone's resurrection." The assistant explained.
"Well, keep an eye on it first, and report back if there's anything unusual." Jiang Shan lost interest instantly after hearing this, and handed the tablet back.
A fifth-level celestial cultivator was something that people could not even dream of in the past.
But after the experiences of the past few days, Jiang Shan has almost become immune to these kinds of people.
The emergence of the First Emperor had already overturned the ceiling of the world.
Didn’t you see that immortal still kneeling on the Jade Emperor Peak of Mount Tai?
Having witnessed even more powerful existences, Jiang Shan has begun to look down upon the so-called fifth-level celestial beings.
Well...even if the Dragon Kingdom doesn’t have a single powerful celestial being.
But it doesn't affect his disdain.
Just as Jiang Shan was talking to his assistant.
Mount Tai.
A golden rainbow streaked across the sky, and Ying Zheng's figure appeared above the sky.
The man at the foot of the mountain instantly caught Ying Zheng's attention.
Hmm? Someone is blocking the door? In this world, is there anyone who dares to block Ying Zheng's door?
The man's back was still straight, and he seemed to be made of iron. Ice, snow, cold, fatigue, exhaustion, and hunger could not make him surrender.
Stubborn, determined, aloof, and indifferent to everything, even himself.
"Jing Ke!" There was a hint of surprise on Ying Zheng's face.
He knew this person, and was very familiar with him.
In the past, Jing Ke obeyed the orders of Prince Dan of Yan and entered Qin to assassinate the King of Qin!
This man is Jing Ke, the man who assassinated him two thousand years ago!
After his failure, he was hacked to death by swords.
"It's been two thousand years...even he is back." Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly. The will of heaven and earth was truly ridiculous.
A loser from two thousand years ago can succeed two thousand years later?
The difference between him and Jing Ke is as great as heaven and earth!
"King Zheng of Qin!" Jing Ke raised his head and looked at Ying Zheng in the sky. The person he was waiting for had arrived.
Hearing the familiar name, Ying Zheng smiled brightly.
Haven't heard it in a while.
Before King Zheng of Qin unified the world, the six kingdoms were called this.
"You shouldn't have come. Since you have a second chance to live, why not find a place to hide and enjoy a carefree life?" Ying Zheng looked down at Jing Ke from a high position.
Yan Hui, who was following behind Ying Zheng, just shook his head and no longer paid attention to Jing Ke at the foot of the mountain.
Another one who died for the sake of destiny.
"Jing Ke was born to stab you, how can he be carefree!" Jing Ke said in a firm tone.
He has too many missions on his shoulders.
All these missions are directed to one person!
King Qin Yingzheng!
Even if he were to live again, he would live to assassinate Qin!
Since his return, he went straight to Mount Tai.
"Jing Ke spent his entire life just to assassinate Qin!"
As he spoke, Jing Ke's luck began to rise.
This scene is very similar to Zhang Jiao's that day.
The heaven and earth have once again sent someone to destroy the destiny of the Great Qin!
Zhang Jue failed, and Jing Ke took over his position and mission.
Not everyone is qualified to serve as a pioneer.
They all have one characteristic.
For example, Zhang Jue once ushered in a period of chaos and destroyed the destiny of a country.
Jing Ke once assassinated Ying Zheng and left a significant mark in history.
People like them are born to be vanguards.
Important, not important either!
But at least each of them is famous and has left behind his or her own story.
"Just to stab me?" Ying Zheng laughed as if he heard a joke.
Today, Yan Zi's good mood of serving the Qin Dynasty is gone!
He is really fed up with these people!
Everyone is talking about big principles, why is this or that, but they dare not admit that it is for their own benefit!
He, Ying Zheng, wanted power and the world, and he never concealed it.
He dared to say it out loud, what I want is power!
But these people always like to wear beautiful clothes and say that they are doing things for the country and the people instead of for their own benefit!
Not as good as Zhang Daoling!
At least, Zhang Daoling still knew why he suppressed Ying Zheng. Listening to Ying Zheng's laughter, Jing Ke frowned.
"This is not a funny thing." Jing Ke wiped the sword in his hand and said with a serious face.
If he tries again, he won't fail! This time, he doesn't need to kill Ying Zheng, he just needs to start.
Let the people of the world see that those who would assassinate Qin will continue to do so!
As long as this lead is established, there will be more people who are stronger than him, standing at the foot of Mount Tai and challenging the Qin Empire!
"Not funny? Do you think you are doing something that is attracting everyone's attention and is extremely glorious? Do you think you are a knight?" The smile on Ying Zheng's face did not fade at all.
"Of course!" Jing Ke responded.
"It's been two thousand years, and you still don't understand!" Ying Zheng shook his head.
"So what if it's two thousand years? Even if it's ten thousand years, it won't change!"
"Some sins cannot be erased by time!"
"When you were the King of Qin, you were inhumane and murdered the people, even your own relatives and brothers. How can I, Jing Ke, not be worthy of the title of a knight?" Jing Ke's face was full of righteousness, he was a knight!
Hearing these words, Ying Zheng couldn't stop laughing.
"It's been two thousand years, and you won't open your eyes and take a look?"
"Since the Qin Dynasty, which palace struggles have not been filled with swords and sabers, and which emperor's hands have not been stained with blood? Intrigues and struggles for power, if I don't kill people, they will kill me!"
"There are many people, but only one emperor!"
"Brothers killing each other? Such things have happened in the past, they exist now, and they will never disappear in the future!"
"This is not your reason for assassinating Qin, it's just your excuse. You are not worthy of the title of a knight!"
Looking at Jing Ke below, Ying Zheng put away his smile.
He didn't like to reason, but today, he was determined to crush Jing Ke with reason.
"You have been aggressive and aggressive, launching wars, causing the people of the six nations to become homeless. Because of you, the world will never be at peace."
"Now, you have returned from raising corpses, and are disturbing the peace of heaven and earth, trying to overthrow heaven and earth. How can I not stab you!"
Jing Ke swung his sword. For a man like him, strength comes from faith.
If faith collapses, all strength will be gone.
He has a legitimate reason to be a teacher, and he must keep this reputation.
"Naive!" Ying Zheng chuckled.
The vanguard chosen by heaven and earth this time is so disappointing.
Not to mention that he is not as good as Zhang Daoling, he is not even as good as Zhang Jiao.
Zhang Daoling pursues destiny, but he also has his own reasons.
Zhang Jue risked his life to ask for the truth in the Great Qin, all he wanted was the truth in his heart, peace!
However, Jing Ke still wanted to stand on the moral high ground and use naive logic to elevate himself to the side of justice.
"Will the world be peaceful without me?"
"Is the world truly peaceful now?" Ying Zheng looked towards the west coast.
Not to mention the past dynasties, even in the past hundred years, there have been Eagle Sauce, Little Sakura, and the Eight-Nation Alliance...
Jing Ke and Zhang Daoling both wanted to suppress the Qin Dynasty.
But the difference is huge, he doesn't even see it as clearly as Zhang Daoling.
At least what Zhang Daoling said is true: with a sharp blade in hand, it is easy to be murderous; with unlimited power, corruption is inevitable; with a large number of soldiers and generals, and excellent weapons, is it good to keep them without starting a war?
"Naive?" Jing Ke frowned. How could this be considered naivety? This was justice!
Ying Zheng looked down at this innocent knight and said:
"With a sharp blade in hand, it is easy to have a murderous heart. If a country is strong, it will not use force against a weak country. If a woman is beautiful, she will not be coveted by men?"
"Even without me, the world will not suffer any less wars!"
"It is precisely because of my absence that the war between the six kingdoms lasted only a hundred years, and the wars of later generations lasted for thousands of years."
"Without unity, the world will be divided among different countries, and that will lead to chaos!"
"This is still your excuse!"
"It was an excuse two thousand years ago, and it is still an excuse today, two thousand years later!"
"That's not the reason why you assassinated Qin!"
Jing Ke's calm face twitched, and the faith that was constantly rising in his heart began to waver.
If he continues like this, his sword will be weak and powerless when he draws it.
Ying Zheng looked at the slightly flustered Jing Ke, and a carefree smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. These people were stubborn even when they were dead.
So he wanted to tear Jing Ke's mouth full of benevolence, righteousness and morality apart while he was still alive!
Tear off the magnificent clothes he was wearing.
"When I was assassinating Qin Shi Huang, Prince Dan of Yan gave me a mansion, gave me delicious food every day, and occasionally sent me carriages, horses and beautiful girls for me to enjoy. I should repay the kindness of knowing me and meeting me. A chivalrous man should repay kindness!"
"Today, the heaven and earth have allowed me to return to the world and live another life. How can I not repay the kindness of rebirth?"
"Prince Dan of Yan was so kind to me in the past, and the heaven and earth have blessed me again today. I, Jing Ke, must stab you, and even be resurrected to stab Qin!" Jing Ke said stubbornly.
Repay favors with kindness and don’t be afraid of Ying Zheng’s identity!
Heaven and earth also recognize him, otherwise how could they resurrect him?
"The grace of recognition? I'll give you that reason!" Ying Zheng nodded.
"But... it's not the grace of recognition, it's the love of nurturing!"
"Whether it's heaven or earth, or Prince Dan of Yan."
"It's like a master raising a dog, feeding it with good food and drink, but he can let it out to bite people at any time!"
"But can this be considered as doing it for the people of the world? For world peace!?"
"It's just for my own benefit!"
"I can give you a bigger mansion, more beauties, and a longer life!"
"I want you to go against the will of heaven, will you?!"
"Me!" Jing Ke opened his mouth, and the determination to assassinate Qin that had accumulated in his heart gradually began to weaken.
The sword in my hand is no longer sharp.
In just a moment, Jing Ke, who was originally going to rely on the blessing of faith and heaven and earth to cross the heavens and men in one step, now lost his momentum.
"You chivalrous men, full of righteousness and morality, who work for the common people of the world, and who claim to be so noble, are nothing but a bunch of pathetic creatures who rely on their bravery to seek fame and reputation!"
"You are so happy when your master gives you two pieces of meat. You can bite whoever he tells you to bite!"
"You want to put yourself on the moral high ground and label yourself a knight! You want to tie your actions to the lives of the people of the world. Do you deserve that?"
"I want power, I want the world, I want everything to belong to Qin, I never use other people's banners, I, Ying Zheng, want to become the Emperor of Heaven! Dominate all living things!"
Ying Zheng's voice rang in Jing Ke's ears like thunder.
"In the past, you stabbed me for the people of the six kingdoms, and for Prince Dan of Yan!"
"The wind is whistling and the Yi River is cold. Once the warrior leaves, he will never come back. Do you think you are a knight, a warrior, a righteous man who enjoys supreme glory? Are you the one that the people of the world look up to?"
"Wrong! You are nothing!"
"There are 19 ways to write one word, and they don't recognize each other. We are all in nine states but not in one country. Is this the world peace you want?"
"But look, the world should be unified now!"
"You, Jing Ke, are not a righteous knight, nor do you have any glory!"
"Two thousand years, my merits and demerits will be judged by future generations, but two thousand years later, everyone in the world will recognize my unification!"
"It is I who will unify the world and engrave it into the blood of future generations!"
With every word Ying Zheng spoke, Jing Ke's aura weakened a little.
The faith in my heart was almost gone.
If you have a legitimate reason to be a teacher, you will be successful in everything. But now this reason is gone!
He, Jing Ke, only cared about his own selfish interests.
"Today, you stab me for destiny?"
"But what is destiny? What have I done?"
“Have you seen how the world has changed?”
"No! You are only trying to stab me because the heaven and earth resurrected you!"
"If I resurrect you, will you still stab me?"
"will not!"
"You, Jing Ke, are just a dog raised by heaven without sense of right and wrong, without soul, and only care about your own interests!"
As the last word falls.
There was a cracking sound inside Jing Ke's body, and then all his cultivation in the five realms disappeared!
Ying Zheng also fell from the sky, it's time to physically tear his mouth apart!
There were flashes of light in the sky, and the rain was getting heavier.
It seemed that he regretted letting Jing Ke serve as the second pioneer to start the anti-Qin situation.
Now that the situation has not been improved, it is even more embarrassing.
Originally it didn’t matter if Jing Ke failed, his purpose was to die, but he couldn’t die like this!
