Chapter 345 The Chaotic World at the End of the Ming Dynasty
Liu Bei and his men left their families in the village and, along with Zhuge Liang and the others, followed the villagers to a house that was completely different from the houses in the village.
The house itself suggests that its owner is somewhat unusual.
The villagers who brought Liu Bei and his men hadn't even entered the house yet when they started shouting loudly outside.
"Old Zhang, we have a distinguished guest."
"come in."
The villagers led Liu Bei and his men into the house.
There was a small courtyard inside the house, with some flowers and plants growing in it. An old man was tending to the courtyard at that moment.
When he saw Liu Bei and his group enter, he put down what he was doing and invited them into the main room.
Upon entering the main hall, Liu Bei saw a statue of a deity enshrined there, and the statue seemed somewhat familiar to him.
He quickly realized that the statue and the immortal were about 80% similar.
He never imagined that people in this world also knew of the existence of immortals.
Through the villagers' introduction, Liu Bei and his companions learned the old man's identity.
The old man's name was Zhang Shiliang. He was a recluse who was originally an official of the Ming Dynasty. However, the Ming Dynasty had become corrupt, which broke his heart. So he resigned and went into seclusion here.
The villagers brought the person to the village and then took their leave.
Old Man Zhang watched the villagers leave through the gate, then he knelt down before Liu Bei.
"Zhang Shiliang greets his lord."
Zhang Shiliang was an expert in physiognomy. As soon as Liu Bei entered the room, he saw that Liu Bei had the destiny of an emperor.
The Ming Dynasty is now bankrupt, and heroes from humble backgrounds are rising up in various places, but none of them are the true Son of Heaven.
Seeing Liu Bei, Zhang Shiliang knew that the true Son of Heaven had finally appeared.
Liu Bei quickly helped Zhang Shiliang up, saying, "Old Zhang, please get up quickly."
Then Liu Bei introduced his group to Old Man Zhang.
When Old Man Zhang heard the names of Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, Zhang Fei, and others, his brain completely shut down.
If it were just a single name being the same, he wouldn't think much of it. But now, the names he's hearing are all powerful figures from Liu Bei's camp during the Three Kingdoms period, which makes him think more deeply.
"My lord, are you people from the late Eastern Han Dynasty?" Zhang Shiliang felt that his question was really ridiculous, but he couldn't help but ask it.
Liu Bei didn't think much of it when he heard this. He had even met the emperor of the Sui Dynasty in later times. Hearing Zhang Shiliang ask this question, Liu Bei knew that this world might be some period in the future.
Zhuge Liang and his companions were quite shocked that someone in the world actually knew about them.
“Indeed, we were guided by immortals to your world. We came here to restore the glory of the Han Dynasty,” Liu Bei said.
Old Zhang thought to himself, no wonder Liu Bei had the destiny of an emperor, it turns out he was Liu Bei, the founder of Shu Han.
Next, Liu Bei inquired about specific information about this world from Old Man Zhang.
From Old Man Zhang, Liu Bei and his men learned about the specific situation of their country.
The Ming Dynasty had already fallen, and after its fall, various forces rose up in different regions.
The remnants of the Ming Dynasty established the Southern Ming, Li Zicheng established the Great Shun, Zhang Xianzhong established the Great Xi, and there was also the Qing army in the northeast.
The world is in chaos now, and it is the people who suffer.
"Now that our lord has appeared, I believe that under his leadership, the chaos will soon come to an end."
Zhang Shiliang was very confident about this, as the people Liu Bei brought were all very capable individuals.
The late Eastern Han Dynasty was an era that produced many talented people. In that era, anyone who had even a little bit of fame was an extremely remarkable figure.
Moreover, the people Liu Bei brought were all top-notch strategists and military generals.
“We’ve just arrived, and everything has to start from scratch. It’s difficult to end this chaos in a short time.”
After understanding the overall situation of the world, they began to understand the surrounding conditions. If there were no major powers in the vicinity, they could use this place as a starting point to expand outwards.
Old Zhang knew the surrounding area like the back of his hand. He had lived in seclusion here for many years. Although he was living in seclusion, he was not the kind of person who was indifferent to worldly affairs. Otherwise, he would not have been so knowledgeable about the general situation of the world.
In addition to learning about the surrounding area, he also got to know some prominent people in the area.
With Zhang Laodie's help, Liu Bei and his men could quickly expand their influence in the surrounding areas.
After clarifying the situation, Liu Bei inquired about the statue.
“I see a statue of a deity enshrined in the main room. I wonder where that statue came from.”
When it comes to the statues of gods, Old Zhang is exceptionally devout.
“In the original Ming Dynasty, many cities had temples, and the statues of gods enshrined in the temples were quite divine. The temples gave people a feeling of being close to the Great Dao, so I brought back a statue of a god.”
I have worshipped the statue of the deity for many years, and when I cultivate in front of it, it feels as if the deity is helping me; my cultivation goes very smoothly. After so many years of cultivation, I don't even know what level I have reached.
By the late Ming Dynasty, martial arts had begun to decline. People with good physiques could easily reach the Grandmaster realm through hard work, but reaching the Divine Intent realm required a stroke of luck, and the Transformation Realm had become a legend.
Zhang Shiliang obtained the martial arts techniques by chance. Along with the martial arts techniques, he also obtained a book on physiognomy. The martial arts techniques he obtained were incomplete. He had all the internal energy and grandmaster-level techniques, but only a small part of the divine intent level.
He cultivated according to the techniques for so many years, without deliberately practicing martial arts, but he studied the physiognomy manual every day, so he was quite proficient in physiognomy.
Liu Bei and others lived during the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and the martial arts they practiced were relatively more complete.
Because of his poor physique and lack of effort in cultivation, Liu Bei's cultivation level was only at the Grandmaster level.
Zhuge Liang wasn't particularly interested in martial arts; he focused his research on the major powers and the art of divination and strategy.
Guan Yu was the strongest among them, and his cultivation had reached the late stage of the Divine Intent Realm. It was only a matter of time before he broke through to the Transformation Realm.
Liu Bei smiled and said to Zhang Shiliang, "To be honest, the immortal I saw was the one you worship, which is why I asked this question."
Zhang Shiliang was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected that Liu Bei, the unknown deity he worshipped, had actually met him.
"May I ask, my lord, what is the origin of this immortal I worship?"
Liu Bei shook his head. He didn't know the origin of the immortal either, since he had only met the immortal once and hadn't had much interaction with him. Since he could communicate with the immortal face to face, he didn't dare to ask about the immortal's origin.
Having gathered all the necessary information, Liu Bei and his men began preparing to conquer the world.
The first thing they needed to solve was the problem of accommodation. When it came to accommodation, Zhang Shiliang offered his place to them.
Only after everything was arranged properly did Liu Bei have time to study the jade seal bestowed by the immortal.
Sitting in the room, he looked at the portal to another dimension, which had been with him ever since he came to this world.
Let's not rush into the fairyland for now; let's first see what the jade seal bestowed by the immortals is for.
On the Imperial Seal chat panel, numerous emperors are chatting.
"We've gained two new friends, and according to their introductions, they're not emperors yet," Old Zhao said.
The chat panel for the jade seals includes an introduction for each jade seal owner.
Zhu Yuanzhang was the founder of the Ming Dynasty and its founding emperor, while Cao Cao and Liu Bei were different; they were in the process of establishing their own dynasties.
