Chapter Sixty-Four: Longevity Celebration, Health of the Who

turns out this is what it feels like to have your name "borrowed."Jiāng Wàng xiān-xiē kòu chū shēng lái, hǎo dǎi cái zhǐ zhù."Room numbered Tianzi, Bing number." The middle-aged shopkeeper lowered hi...No one misses the country of Yang.

This is a fact.

Although it was too cruel for Yansheng.

For centuries, too many nations have called themselves "the true heir to the past," longing for that glorious empire. But if the true legacy of the past were to stand before them, it would surely be hacked to pieces and devoured.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

People do not miss the country of Yang, they only seek its wealth and power.

Yansheng knew that not everything was possible. He had spent years studying on the mountain, and he hadn't become a fool. How could someone who stood at the peak of power be naive

It's just...

He couldn't help but imagine. If Jiang Wang really wanted to accept Ji Yan as his own heir, and inherit the glory of the former Chang Yang, what would happen

This matter can truly give birth to hope.

The collision of transcendence in the mirror flower water moon realm made him aware of Ji Yanru's name, and this person named Jiang Wang entered his eyes as he retreated to study in seclusion.

He had seriously gotten to know Jiang Wang.

From south to north, from east to west, Jiang Wang left behind too many deeds, gained too much recognition, and had too many powerful friends who could be allies. Just talking about Baiyu Jing Wine House, how many talents are there!

More importantly, Jiang Wang's reputation today is at its peak. The name "Elder Jiang Ge" echoes throughout the north and south of Henan Province. The two characters "Jiang Wang" have already been inscribed in history, a living legend.

Such a Jiang Wang, if willing to raise the flag, would inevitably have an echo throughout the world. He could turn the impossible into the possible.

But Jiang Wang refused resolutely.

Bidding farewell with sword hung, life's paths diverge.

In an endless world, there are countless people. In the vast sea of humanity, Yan Sheng realized that he was the last remaining person from the country of Yang.

No one walked with him, no one shared his memories.

He sat quietly on the bamboo mat. Suddenly, he thought to himself that he had taught this Master Jiang for five days in vain, but received no promises in return. He hadn't even heard a kind word.

"How is this possible..."

He couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

yet tears streamed down his face.

The tip of the pen glided across the paper, and a "zheng" character was written at the top.

Zhong Liyan, who had been in a coma for several days and nights, finally managed to get up. He wrote with a ferocious expression and his teeth clacked—it wasn't that Jiang Wang had hit him hard enough to knock him unconscious for so long. It was that the news of him provoking Jiang Wang and being beaten up on the street reached home, and Zhong Li Zhao beat him again.

New hatred and old grudges, this hatred is endless!

The bottom of the bed was already full.

He anonymously purchased an accounting magic artifact at Qianji Lou. It's this seemingly ordinary booklet on the table, with thousands upon thousands of pages within. You can store as much as you want. And it's neatly categorized and clearly itemized.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Of course, Dou Zhao has the most accounts under his name. Now there are quite a few people surnamed Jiang as well. Zu Guangshu repeatedly watched the play and laughed out loud, which also resulted in him being recorded.

>

“When the accounts are finally settled, these bastards won't get away with it!” Zhong Liyan gritted his teeth angrily.

The front door was suddenly kicked open, and Zhong Li Zhaojia walked in: "You MF have any quality Screaming at someone in the middle of the night"

"No...ah." Zhongli Yan raised the pen in his hand: "I'm practicing calligraphy! Didn't you say you wanted me to cultivate my mind and temperament"

The more he spoke, the more convinced he became of his own rightness, and the more indignant he grew: "Can there be mistakes in practicing calligraphy!"

Zhong Li Zhao slapped over with a resounding smack: "Who do you think you are talking to"

"Don't you dare touch me, just because you think you're my father doesn't mean you can be so arrogant—I've endured you for far too long!" Zhōnglí Yán drew his sword and charged.

After a burst of clattering.

Zhong Liyan lay sprawled on the ground, his face even more swollen.

Zhong Li Zhao gently brushed his clothes and sat down gracefully to drink water. He glanced at his son with a sneer and said sarcastically, "Your martial arts aren't very good either. You're already at the 24th heaven, but you still lag far behind your old man."

Zhongli Yanjia lost the fight, but he wasn't convinced: "You've just practiced a few more years! Give me a few more years and see"

“Talking about age” Zhongli Zhao laughed coldly, “Then Jiang Wang is much younger than you, isn't he”

Zhong Liyan let out a hearty laugh: "I'm at the highest level of martial arts. What level is he cultivating They aren't even on the same level, understand"

Zhong Li Zhaojia's face darkened because he and Jiang Wang were on one level. "I, Zhong Li Zhaojia, have always been calm and polite my entire life. How could I have given birth to a son who is so arrogant and conceited! Compared to Wang Aozhi and Wu Xin, you are far behind!"

"Wang Ao is clumsy and brainless, Wu Xun is distracted by military affairs, both of them are mediocre! They've been walking for so long and haven't even managed to clear the peak, accomplishing anything in martial arts." Zhongli Yan became increasingly confident: "Though I was born decades later and abandoned magic to cultivate martial arts, I've still caught up. Heaven must have great plans for me, destined for me to forge a new path!"

He recovered quickly, his voice was filled with excitement, he didn't feel any pain anymore. With a powerful flip, he sat across from Zhongli Zhaojia: "Old man, I'm going out for a bit."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Don't even think about it!" Zhongli Zhao yelled, showing no mercy. "You still think I paid too much I earn every penny with careful calculation, while you squander it recklessly! What a prodigal!"

>

"This time, I have important business!" Zhong Li exclaimed urgently. "I'm not going to Xianlin of Meteorites, the Border Wasteland, or any other desolate place, understood"

Zhong Li Zhao's face was full of distrust: "Ask yourself if you believe it."

Zhongli Yan immediately pointed his finger at the sky: "I, Zhongli Yan, swear to heaven! If I tell even half a lie, I will go back on my word, and may my entire family—"

>

Zhong Li Zhao slapped him back: “Stop swearing!”

After some thought, he added, "Thus, hand over your Gwan Yue demonic steed to me. If you break your promise, consider it gone."

This Guanyu of the Moon Demon Horse was opened by Zhongli Yanji's twenty-four heavens, comparable to the true cave. It was a gift from Emperor Chu to him, and he treasured it dearly. Zhongli Zhaojia asked for it many times but never got his hands on it.

Zhongli Yan glared hatefully at his father, recording this humiliating moment in his heart. Gritting his teeth, he said, "Deal!"

A true man can bend but not break. When he accomplishes a great feat, who will Zhongli's family truly belong to This is still a matter of debate!

Jiang Wang, that scoundrel, had Zuo Guangxu send a letter to the Marquis of Huai, and also said something about "if there is an incident in Yue..."

Isn't this a typical case of "the other country" situation

Given Yue Guo's current situation, the possibilities are very limited!

Gao Zheng is dead, but his master Zhongli is still powerful in Yue.

This time, he was going to get ahead of the game. Using Jiang Wang's intel, he planned to steal Left Family's credit and slap them in the face twice, venting his anger fiercely!

When water is high, there is flood; when qi is high, there is hatred.

The flood cannot be stopped, hate is unbearable. This is the so-called "having an emotional knot in one's heart, it must be released."

Yansheng, who has lived in seclusion for many years, seeks out Luo Sha Mingyue to clear his grievances. Zhongliyan, despite being a person who does not seek trouble but can't stand being bullied, decides to go to Yue Guo to vent his anger.

The King of the Underworld, who rules over "the human ghost country," needs to vent his anger too.

He was drying hearts on the Devil's Street in Fengdu when he suddenly remembered the bald man he had thrown into prison earlier. Back then, he had been ready to make a move, but something came up and forced him to leave, so he had to put it off.

After taking care of those trivial but necessary things, it was already today.

Please note: I've removed the unnecessary " " from your input as they don't contain any text to translate. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Go, bring that bald man from a few days ago here. This involves Jiegou Mountain, and I want to interrogate him myself." he ordered.

In a streetside dwelling, rustling ghostly voices arose: “I’m afraid it won’t work.”

The State of Chu has always been open to spirits and gods, with countless powerful practitioners within its borders. However, unlike the previous state of Mu, they do not subjugate themselves to divine authority.

If we say that Zhuge Yi represents the highest exploration of Shinto by Chu State, then "Fengdu" is the most advanced place for research into the underworld.

Even it can be said that—a large part of "Fengdu's" power comes from the Immortal-Slaying Forest. Fengdu's control over ghosts and spirits reflects Chu's years of research on the Immortal-Slaying Forest.

Gu Chi may not be the person who studies ghosts most deeply, but as the Yin of Fengdu, he definitely has the highest authority on ghost-related knowledge in Chu State.

In fact, the last time he was hastily summoned was by Duke Yunchang of Wei, who demanded that he speak on the power of the immortal beings and ghosts in Xianshen Forest.

Dou Yunxiao is the only true human among the four marquises of Chu, and he is not usually considered on par with the other three. He is typically mentioned alongside Song Bodhi when compared to Huai Guogong, An Guogong, and Yu Guogong.

But as the leader of the Shencuijun and the current Duke of Wei, Dou Yunxiao was still the most powerful figure in Chu. He had doubts, and Gu Chi couldn't just ignore them. He needed to consult ghost intelligence, and even Fengdu couldn't refuse him.

When there were many such situations where he had "no choice" but to do something, Gu Chi's mood just couldn't get better.

He turned his head slowly, with a sinister look: “Why not”

That ghostly voice whispered: "Little Bald Head has been taken to the deepest part of Ghost Hell to be neighbors with someone. They seem to get along very well. And he said, don't touch Little Bald Head."

Gu Chi raised his thin eyebrow: "What does Your Highness intend to do"

"Hehehe..." the ghostly voice said, "Or you could ask them yourself"

As the Lord of the Underworld, Gu Chi naturally couldn't converse with Xiong Ziyu, a prisoner of the Ghost Prison. During this period when the prince of the Chu state was imprisoned, not even a shred of evidence could be given to others. Anyone who dared to turn Xiong Ziyu's ten years of hope into a spectacle for the world would become his mortal enemy, destined to be torn to shreds.

"Let him go," Gu Chi waved his hand. "With that prince watching over him, that little bald head can't stir up anything."

That's it for now.

But at the end of the long street, a sudden voice rang out: "The King of Hell is so idle again, sunbathing!"

With the sound, starlight fell into the Ghost Country. Dreamlike stars shimmered and flowed, slowly condensing into vague figures.

This is a smiling, hunched old man with a cane in his hand. The head of the cane is shaped like a gourd. He has a thick white beard and wears festive clothes. His forehead bulges high, like a peach.

He seemed to have a natural ability to bring joy. The moment he arrived in the Underworld, the gloom and terror dissipated, replaced by a sense of peace and happiness.

In the distance, there seemed to be a cacophony of human voices, with laughter of all sorts—soft giggles, hearty chuckles, and booming guffaws. The sound of people drowned out the ghostly whispers.

Finally, a resounding cry echoed — "Happy Birthday and good health to the whole family!"

The twelfth star god of the Yellow Path, Shou Xing, descends to the human ghost kingdom.

Gu Chi's mood became even worse.

It wasn't that he and the Star Witch had any personal animosity, but this scene before him was a reflection of countless times his power had been suppressed in the past.

Fengdu is the Yin Shadow Department of Chu, a direct organization under the imperial court. He Gu Chi also reports directly to the emperor, and in theory, he shouldn't care about anyone's opinion. But when the Duke of Wei called him, he went; when the Star Shaman summoned spirits from other realms, he couldn't just ignore them... He had no way to avoid getting involved.

As the emperor's direct subordinate, there are simply too many divine positions above me. I must pay respects, but bowing to each one would make it impossible to stand straight!

But the political environment in Chu was like this: powerful clans dominated, with numerous factions vying for power. The royal family of Chu itself was merely the largest clan.

This issue is not a recent development, but rather a hidden danger that was laid down at the very beginning of the nation's founding.

When Xiong Yizhen rallied the world, raising his arm and calling out, countless heroes pooled their resources to join him, and countless warriors fought and died for him. He became emperor and established a great dynasty. How could he possibly mistreat those brothers and sisters who risked their lives for him

In the past, many people helped establish the nation, and in later times, many benefited from its prosperity. These were the ancestors of the great Chu clans who shared in the nation's glory.

Bear Yi-chen and his sworn siblings were indeed loyal to each other, never betraying one another. But how could Bear Yi-chen's descendants, and those of his siblings, remain unmoved through the generations

The State of Chu wasn't even trying to hide it.

>

According to the Records of Chu —

Bear Yi-zheng once told his prince, "I know that the instability of the world lies in 'disunity.' However, all of you brothers and sisters were born and died with me, helped me ascend the throne from the grassroots. I would rather wound ten fingers on a sword than draw it against any of you. From now on, the world belongs to all of you, govern it yourselves."

As is well known, it was the Taizu Gi Yanqiu of Yangguo who repeatedly thwarted the ambitions of the monarch closest to achieving the grand unification of the Six Realms. After that, Ying Yun, Helin Qing Tong, Hong Junyan, and Tang Yu successively rose to prominence, each dominating a region, seizing key points, and completely shattering Jingguo's dream of unification.

Even though the Taoist sect later turned against him, even going so far as to work with Zong Dezheng to force this powerful ruler to abdicate and ascend Mount Yujing, bringing the once-mighty Sui Kingdom into Jing Country and greatly strengthening Jing Country's power, they were still unable to suppress the rising flames of war throughout the land.

Many heroes contended for power, until today, there is no single one who dominates.

If Gi Yanqiu was the biggest obstacle for Emperor Jing Taizu Ji Yusu, then Xiong Yizhen was the sufferer of Emperor Jingwen Empress Ji Furun.

Ji Fu Ren inherited his father's business, centralized power, formed alliances with feudal lords, and controlled the world. He almost made Jing Guo see the hope of a unified world again, but then came the Chu king who said "Only the south shall not submit."

The Jing Shu records: That year, the Son of Heaven moved his capital to the Yellow River and summoned all the feudal lords. All arrived except Chu, so he was attacked.

The Battle of Chu against Jing was a bloody battle, and it cannot be described simply as "a bloody battle."

Bear Yi Zhen's life was fought for by countless people. He crawled through blood and mud, getting knocked down again and again, but always rising to his feet. After realizing he couldn't become the Hegemon of Six Realms, he also couldn't bring himself to harm his siblings.

He clearly passed the problem on to the future.

As his last will stated: “There was no one before me for a thousand years, and there won’t be anyone after me for ten thousand. Our loyalty to each other is complete! You are yours, and the mountains and rivers are yours.”

H Xiong Yizhen was an anomaly among the world's monarchs. He was bold and unrestrained, valuing loyalty and righteousness above all else, unlike a typical ruler. He wanted to share everything he could with his sworn brothers and sisters. Throughout his life, he treated his loyal ministers generously. He established his empire, but his ambitions ultimately halted in the southern regions.

But it is clear that his descendants were unable to solve the problems he left behind.

He, the crown prince, and his siblings' children grew up together from a young age. They shared everything: pants, swords, wanderings, and even times of prosperity. Their bond was deeper than that of any other generation.

The unprecedented unity among various factions within the Chu state under a power system allowed it to become the glorious "only one who did not submit to the south," and its reign lasted for generations.

Some problems are indeed deeply rooted and hard to solve, no matter how much effort is put in.

Perhaps as what Xiong Zidu said when he was young, reading history: “The younger generation resembles the founder, the grandson generation resembles the founder, and all generations resemble the founder. They pity their feelings and lose their strategies, resulting in minor illnesses becoming major problems, which are difficult to reverse!”

>

At that moment, all the palace maids and eunuchs who were accompanying Xiong Zidu in reading were found guilty by the Emperor and executed.

Of course, these problems wouldn't even occur to Gu Chi.

"Star God! " Gu Chi, whose face was gaunt and thin, broke into a dazzling smile: "What brings you here——"

He hurried up to meet her, keeping pace with her quick steps. "What can I do for you"
