Chat group: In Daqin, Dongjun brought happiness to us

Among the various schools of thought, the rest, such as famous scholars, generalists, novelists, military strategists, and medical scholars, are insignificant.

After all, Su Lai was the sole descendant of the medical family, and Nian Duan, the head of the medical family, was still living in seclusion in Yan State. Even if she knew about the appearance of the Lord of Mount Tai, her limited strength might not have qualified her to get involved.

The most accomplished eclectic scholar at the moment was Lü Buwei, who had been demoted by Ying Zheng. With the eclectic scholars now in a state of disunity, it was even less likely that they would get involved in such matters.

Not to mention military strategists and novelists.

However, after the Nong School, the next school of thought that emerged really gave Donghuang Taiyi, Beimingzi, Xunzi and others some different thoughts.

An old man with white hair and beard, wearing a black crane cloak, came to the foot of Mount Tai.

After briefly greeting the Confucian disciples guarding outside the door, the old man headed straight into the depths of Mount Tai.

However, as they approached Mount Tai, the old man paused, surveying the towering mountain with interest. He then said aloud, "Guiguzi has arrived. Is the Lord of Mount Tai going to avoid him?"

"Guiguzi?" Ying An really didn't expect that Xunzi could actually invite Guiguzi out this time.

After all, according to the tradition of the Zongheng lineage, after Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang left their apprenticeships, Guiguzi, as the former leader, was supposed to abandon his identity, even going so far as to hide his real name. Furthermore, he would even willingly die at the hands of his disciples to help his juniors.

Unexpectedly, this master of Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang, the former Guiguzi, actually had connections with Xunzi, and was even invited by Xunzi to deal with the Lord of Mount Tai.

"I didn't expect him to come!" Donghuang Taiyi's tone suddenly revealed a hint of strangeness. He said, "Young Master! Guiguzi is not like us. Although the Zongheng lineage does have a deep heritage, each uses the world as a chessboard to compete for the next leader. This kind of heritage has also made the Zongheng lineage weak in numbers! If this old ghost refuses to trust you, I'm afraid even if he receives the secret soul technique you teach him, he will turn his back on you!"

Upon hearing this, Ying An pondered for a moment and said, "That's fine! According to the rules of the Zongheng School, this Guiguzi should now shed his identity as Guiguzi and remain incognito. Since he's here, it means he must have his own desires."

Yes! !

Since Guiguzi appeared here, it meant that even if it was to repel the so-called ancient gods and demons that had returned, this was also Guiguzi's desire.

In Ying An's view, if he had something to ask for, then after knowing his own strength, Guiguzi would definitely make a wise decision.

As the space portal opened.

Guiguzi, who was alone, stepped in without any hesitation.

The scenery in front of me suddenly changed.

The next moment, Guiguzi was shocked to find that in front of him, Xunzi, Bei Mingzi, Donghuang Taiyi, these familiar faces were there. Even Mohist Saw and Six-Fingered Black Knight, who were mortal enemies of Yin-Yang School, were there.

After a moment of silence, Guiguzi suddenly laughed and said, "It seems I'm late!"

Although he had a smile on his face, Guiguzi's eyes revealed an undisguised wariness. He asked, "May I ask, have you already surrendered to the Lord of Mount Tai?"

It is not surprising at all that Guiguzi would make such a guess.

After all, not to mention others, since Xunzi, Bei Mingzi, Donghuang Taiyi, Six-Fingered Black Knight and others are all here, there are even the chief hero of the farming family, the six elders, and the six hall masters.

With such a lineup, they were still in the underworld. No matter what, it was impossible for these people to be at peace with the Lord of Mount Tai.

Since the two sides did not fight each other, the only explanation is that these people from various schools of thought may have reached some unspeakable agreement with the Lord of Mount Tai.

This is also why, even though he saw an acquaintance, Guiguzi showed an unusually vigilant look.

Upon hearing this, Donghuang Taiyi took the initiative to say, "That's right. We have indeed now joined the Young Master's army. So, Guiguzi, what about you?"

"Me?" Guiguzi smiled carefreely and said, "I'm no longer Guiguzi. My disciple Wei Zhuang is the Guiguzi you trust. As for me, I'm happy to have witnessed the power of the ancient gods and demons with this broken body. This is not a wasted life. What's the matter? Are you guys planning to help the Lord of Mount Tai deal with me?"

"We are taking refuge with the young master, not the Lord of Mount Tai." Xunzi certainly couldn't let Guiguzi have such a misunderstanding.

After all, this matter affected the future reputation of Confucianism, so he couldn't help but take it seriously.

Guiguzi's eyes flashed.

Young Master, Lord of Mount Tai, these completely different titles made Guiguzi vaguely aware of something.

He swept his eyes over the crowd, and soon, Guiguzi's gaze fixed on Ying An.

"The second son of the King of Qin, Prince Ying An?" Guiguzi recognized Ying An's identity almost instantly.

Just from this point, it is enough to make people feel that even though Guiguzi has now given up the identity of the leader of Zongheng, he has never given up paying attention to the changes in the situation in the world.

Otherwise, he would not have been able to recognize Ying An in an instant.

After all, before Ying An truly rose to prominence, he was best known for his bedridden condition and the doctors' prediction that he wouldn't live past the age of sixteen.

Chapter 206: The secret of immortality has become a hot topic in the world!

What really made Ying An famous was that he led his army to pacify the two states of Han and Zhao in a short period of time. In particular, Zhao was defeated and killed by the famous Zhao Wu'an Jun Li Mu.

This battle alone was enough to instantly make Ying An's name a hot topic around the world!!

Although Li Mu was indeed defeated by Ying An, no one would underestimate Li Mu's ability in commanding the war.

After all, Li Mu's reputation did not come from his family background, but was earned through his repeated battles on the battlefield.

It is unknown how many times the Qin army, which was as powerful as a hot knife through butter, failed because of encountering Li Mu.

Such an invincible veteran, even if he was defeated by Ying An, no one would underestimate Li Mu.

However, the recognition of Li Mu's strength by the people of the world actually highlighted the terror of Ying An.

Who made Ying An truly defeat Li Mu on the battlefield?

Right now, among all the military strategists, countless people are studying Ying An's overwhelming victory over Li Mu!

Guiguzi instantly understood the identity of Ying An when he recognized this rapidly rising existence.

I'm afraid Xunzi's supposed return of ancient gods and demons was actually the product of this deeply hidden Young Master Ying An. His goal is nothing more than to unify the world and bring all the schools of thought into the Qin Empire's fold!

After guessing Ying An's intentions, Guiguzi couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, "What a great young master Ying An! I never thought that the world would underestimate you after all. Ten years of silence, then a sudden explosion; ten years of seclusion, then a sudden surge into the sky! I'm afraid no one could have imagined that Young Master Ying An, who defeated the renowned Zhao Wu'an Marquis Li Mu in a single battle, actually possessed such a skill!"

After a slight pause, Guiguzi looked at Xunzi and said, "Xun Kuang, has the Confucian school also chosen this young master Ying An?"

Xunzi gave a bitter laugh and said, "Excuse me, sir. This time, it is indeed Xun Kuang's fault!! However, the general trend cannot be reversed! Confucians do this to comply with the will of Heaven and the people!"

"What a way to follow the will of Heaven!" Guiguzi nodded noncommittally. His gaze swept over the Nong Clan, the Mohist School, the Taoist School, the Yin-Yang School, and the others, and he said, "It seems you've already firmly believed that the future of the world belongs to the State of Qin and Prince Ying'an!"

"Not just the world!!" Tian Guang, the chief hero of the Nong family, subconsciously glanced at Ying An. As if to erase the impression in Ying An's mind that the Nong family had once cooperated with Changping Jun, Tian Guang took the initiative to explain: "Young Master Ying An, you possess the unfathomable power of ghosts and gods, and the secret of immortality! You have opened up the underworld and saved the people of the world from the suffering of life and death! The future of the gods and the earth lies in the hands of the Qin State and you."

"The unfathomable power of ghosts and gods? The secret of immortality?" Guiguzi's expression changed and he looked at Ying An in surprise.

Ying An nodded slightly and said, "Mr. Guigu, the unification of the Great Qin is the general trend. To open up the underworld and establish the heaven in the future, the order of the three realms still needs your assistance!!"

Although it seemed that Ying An was trying to recruit him, Guiguzi understood instantly.

Ying An's words contained a hidden threat.

In the future, the Qin Dynasty will control the gods of heaven and earth, and even the life and death of the common people will be under the control of the Qin Dynasty. Under such circumstances, if the various schools of thought are unwilling to surrender, it will not take long before their theories will be completely forgotten in a very short time.

However, unlike other members of the Hundred Schools of Thought, Guiguzi was not too worried about the inheritance of Zongheng.

When he trained Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang to be more like swordsmen, it was destined that the inheritance of the Zongheng lineage would inevitably decline in the future.

In Guiguzi's view, even if Gai Nie's future was not good after he joined Qin, the Zongheng lineage would still be able to be passed on.

But unfortunately, Guiguzi could see the future of the unification of the Qin Dynasty, but he could not see how harsh consequences Gai Nie's future decision would bring to the Zongheng lineage.

Ying An, keenly aware of Guiguzi's mentality, had a flash of insight, and immediately understood the reason for Guiguzi's fearlessness. He chuckled and said, "Sir, do you think that since Gai Nie has defected to the Qin Dynasty, the Zongheng lineage will surely be passed down in the future?"

Seeing Guiguzi's undeniable expression, Ying An, with a kind look, reminded him, "Gai Nie is your disciple. I wonder if you know what Gai Nie's character is like? If a close friend were to assassinate you in the future to fight against the Qin army, how would you react? After all, with Gai Nie's current strength, even with Wei Zhuang, he wouldn't be able to sustain the legacy of Zongheng. In the future Qin, among the various schools of thought, only the fittest will survive. But if one school of thought sinks and brings disgrace to the Qin State, what will be the fate of that school of thought?"

Guiguzi's expression suddenly changed.

No one knows a disciple better than his teacher!!

When testing Wei Zhuang and Gai Nie, Guiguzi knew very well that a kind-hearted person like Gai Nie could not bear the heavy burden of inheriting Zongheng.

If you only want to achieve everything without considering your own strength, you will never get what you want. The most likely outcome is that you will end up in a mess, just like the previous test.

At least Wei Zhuang was able to save one person, but Gai Nie got nothing! !

This is also the reason why Guiguzi passed the inheritance of Zongheng to Wei Zhuang but gave up Gai Nie.

Ying An's reminder at this moment was like a wake-up call to Guiguzi.

Before, he was short-sighted and only thought that Gai Nie was in Qin State and the inheritance of Zongheng would definitely not be cut off in the future. However, he forgot that with Gai Nie's character, he might be indecisive again at any time.

As Ying An had just said, in the Qin Dynasty, which ruled over the Three Realms, all schools of thought would inevitably have to fight for power if they wanted to grow and prosper. It would definitely be an era where the strong would thrive and the weak would perish!

If we put our hopes on Gai Nie, does the Zongheng family really have a future?

Seeing Guiguzi remain silent, Ying An immediately spoke up, "Perhaps you would think that if Gai Nie wasn't enough, there's still Wei Zhuang. But, sir, if Wei Zhuang chose Han and then watched it fall, would he really be willing to join the Qin that defeated him? In my opinion, quite the opposite. Not only would Wei Zhuang not admit defeat, but he would remain steadfast in his opposition to Qin. After all, only by overthrowing Qin could they erase their past failures! For a proud man like Wei Zhuang, such a decision is almost inevitable!"

Now Guiguzi's expression changed completely.

Taking a deep breath, Guiguzi bowed to Ying An and said, "Zonghengjia, Zhao Yi. Greetings, sir!"

"Hahaha..." Ying An laughed heartily. With a wave of his sleeve, an invisible force instantly lifted Guiguzi up and said, "With your help, the Qin Empire will surely be even more powerful!"

Chapter 207: A major change unseen in a thousand years! Building momentum for the world!

Guiguzi also defected to the Qin Dynasty under the coercion and inducement of Ying An.

Or rather, he had surrendered to Ying An himself. Now, the Qin Dynasty's enemies only remained in the four kingdoms.

Although schools of thought such as doctors, novelists, and generalists have not yet been recruited by Ying An.

But compared with the present moment, those small schools are no longer important, such as Mohism, Taoism, Legalism, Confucianism, Yin-Yang School, Diplomacy School, and Agriculture School.

After also passing on the Golden Crow visualization method to Guiguzi, Ying An quickly handed over the various schools of thought to the Lord of Mount Tai.

While the living can exist in the underworld, it is ultimately the land of the dead. The various schools of thought did not linger long and quickly took their leave.

After leaving the underworld, although people like Nong Jia and Gui Guzi still had some grudges against Xunzi and Confucianism, this was not the time to worry about this issue.

After all, after seeing Ying An's strength, how could the various schools of thought, no matter what plans they had before, in the face of Ying An's strength that was more terrifying than the ancient gods and demons, they could only choose to bow down.

At this moment, compared to arguing with Confucianism and Xunzi, they were more concerned about how much benefit their own school could gain in the Three Realms after the Qin Dynasty unified the world and established the Three Realms.

This concerns the gods of heaven and earth! No matter how the various schools of thought claim to be working for the country and the people, when it comes to matters of self-interest, no one is indifferent.

Even the Mohist school never mentioned Yan Dan, who died in the underworld and had his soul taken away by the Lord of Mount Tai.

After leaving the Underworld, the Six-Fingered Black Knight immediately arranged for his Mohist disciples to return to the Mechanical City and inform the other Mohist disciples of the truth about Ying An and the Underworld, and the fact that the Mohist had defected to Ying An. He himself, along with some of the Mohist disciples, rushed all the way to the State of Yan.

Of course, the Six-Fingered Black Knight went to Yan State at this time not for Yan Dan’s matter.

Even though Yan Dan was the crown prince of Yan State, not to mention his previous betrayal of the Mohist School and even his attempt to kill his teacher, the mere fact that the Qin Dynasty was destined to destroy Yan State in the future would have prevented the Mohist School from placing their chips on Yan State.

The reason why the Six-Fingered Black Knight wanted to go to Yan State was actually because the head of the medical family, Nian Duan, and his disciple Duan Mu Rong were living in seclusion in the territory of Yan State.

At this moment, the Six-Fingered Black Knight was completely focused on recruiting doctors for Ying An.

Don’t think that just because there is no one around Nian Duan, the head of the medical family, except for his disciple Duan Mu Rong, that the medical family’s inheritance is insignificant.

In reality, all doctors in the world can be considered descendants of medical masters. However, these masters have always been scattered far and wide, neither promoting their own theories nor actively showcasing themselves among the nations. Instead, they focus on researching medical techniques to cure diseases and save lives.

This also made Nian Duan, the head of the medical family, seem a little weak.

If the Six-Fingered Black Knight could win over Nian Duan, the head of the medical family, to the ranks of Ying An and Da Qin, then Nian Duan's appeal as the head of the medical family would be enough to be a great help to Ying An and Da Qin in unifying the world.

Previously, the medical family was unwilling to intervene in the disputes between the nations in order to avoid trouble. But now, joining Ying An's army is more than just a trouble.

If the order of the Three Realms is established in the future and the Medical School fails to join Ying An's team in advance, then who knows, the Medical School may be swallowed up by other schools of thought.

Don’t forget, among the six major halls of the farming family, there is one that specializes in medicine.

As Nian Duan's best friend, the Six-Fingered Black Knight naturally hoped that Nian Duan could lead the medical school and become Ying An's right-hand man in this unprecedented change. This would not only allow the medical school to occupy a place among the gods of the future.

After practicing the secret arts of the soul and the martial arts of the immortals, his research on the human body was enough to make the medical knowledge advance by leaps and bounds in a short period of time.

In addition to the Six-Fingered Black Knight, Bei Mingzi is also heading to the Taoist Tianzong’s headquarters.

Although in name, Bei Mingzi established a separate lineage, relying on his own status, he attracted many disciples of the Taoist Tianzong and established the Dizong, which was on par with the Tianren.

But in reality, Bei Mingzi's actions were simply a cover-up. It was exactly the same as what the wealthy and powerful families of the future would do when faced with a fierce competition for supremacy, placing multiple bets.

But now, what Ying An showed really did not allow Bei Mingzi to hesitate.

This time, even if he has to use force, he will make the Taoists completely surrender to Ying An. At worst, the Tian Sect will have to merge with the Di Sect again.

In fact, becoming Ying An's subordinate and being exposed to the method of soul visualization and human immortal martial arts in advance is related to the position of gods in heaven and earth after the establishment of the three realms in the future.

The pursuit of Taoism is itself the Way of Heaven. So, is there anything more suitable for Taoism than the gods of heaven and earth?

If Bei Mingzi didn't care about the inheritance of Taoism as a whole, he would have wanted to stay in the underworld and become the right-hand man of the Lord of Mount Tai.

Taiyi Mountain.

Bei Mingzi, whose spiritual cultivation has reached the ghost immortal realm, returned to Taiyi Mountain without regard for the cost. Not only did he bring his own physical body, but even his closed disciple Xiao Meng followed Bei Mingzi, almost flying all the way.

When the scene of Bei Mingzi descending from the sky and flying all the way appeared in the eyes of the disciples of Taiyi Mountain Tianzong.

The entire Tianzong was in an uproar.
