Three Kingdoms Lords: Starting by walking into the mouth of a giant python

Chapter 105 Tiger's Shadow Technique Examiner

The ancestor who is not decreed. Decreed refers to the ancestral temple of distant ancestors.

In ancient times, the ancestral temples of emperors were divided into family temples and temples for distant ancestors. The ancestral tablets in the family temple were moved to the ancestral temples for worship of ancestors of distant generations in order of seniority. Only the founding ancestor or the most influential ancestor was not moved; this was called "not moved".

Emperor Taizu resided in the first chamber of the Imperial Ancestral Temple, forever becoming an ancestor whose lineage would never be removed; Emperor Taizong resided in the second chamber, forever becoming an ancestor whose lineage would never be removed.

The conditions for achieving [Ancestor Who Cannot Be Discontinued] are: 1. Ruler of the capital city; 2. Exterminate three dynasties.

Tuoba Tuiyan was the leader of the Xianbei Suotou tribe. His grandson, Tuoba Liwei, was the "Shenyuan Emperor" of the Northern Wei Dynasty, whose temple name was Shizu.

Li Yu killed them all, wiping out the Tuoba lineage and ending the Northern Wei dynasty.

Once he has annihilated two more dynasties and upgraded his territory to a level four [capital city], he will receive the title [Ancestor of Immortality].

After Tuoba Tuiyan died, the Xianbei army retreated three paces.

The people of Chicheng believed Li Yu [Zhuge Liang]'s identity as a time traveler to about 60% of the time.

Xia Yu, the former Wuhuan captain, was very excited and asked if he could curse and kill the Xianbei chieftain Tan Shihuai.

Last August, Xia Yu, along with Tian Yan and Zang Min, launched a three-pronged attack on the Xianbei, but suffered a crushing defeat and was reduced to commoner status for his role in the defeat. From then on, Tan Shihuai became an inescapable demon in his heart.

Li Yu nodded and said that if they could obtain the blood of the sandalwood tree, they could set up an altar and perform the ritual again.

The morale of the troops was greatly boosted, and they launched a surprise attack on the Xianbei camp that very night. Unfortunately, Tan Shihuai was prepared, and Guan Yu, Xia Yu, and others only managed to kill some Outer Mongols before being forced to retreat.

Li Yu shook his head and replied to [Fanghu].

He pursued and killed them all the way, enduring hardship and toil. Apart from capturing one-third of the [unregistered ancestors], he also gained other rewards.

[Description] Fifty li southeast of Yicheng County, below Beiyang Slope, lies a place called Guazichan. Legend has it that this is the place where Laozi ate melons. The seeds that fell all became stone melon seeds, their shapes perfectly preserved. —From *Zaolin Zazu*

------

There were ten melon seeds wrapped together, which the young lady put in a sachet, and Li Yu tied it to his waist. When he breathed fire again, the color of the flames changed from red-orange to bluish-white.

On June 11th, the [Mysterious Grade Heavenly Ear Stone] disappeared, and a [Snake Princess] was born in the [Jade Maiden Mountain Temple]. Li Yu fed her [Cold Peaches].

[Description] Yuan Jian was an ancestor of the Western Qiang. During the reign of Duke Li of Qin, he was captured by Qin and enslaved. It was unclear whether Yuan Jian belonged to any other tribe. Later, he escaped and returned home, but the Qin people pursued him relentlessly. He hid in a cave and thus escaped. The Qiang people say that Yuan Jian initially hid in the cave. When the Qin people burned it, a tiger-like figure appeared, shielding him from the fire and saving his life. The Qiang people, seeing that Yuan Jian had survived the fire, were amazed by his divine power and worshipped him, considering him their hero. — *Book of the Later Han Dynasty, Biography of the Western Qiang*

------

This [Tiger Sight Technique] is a defensive technique. When mastered, it grants the user the protective energy of a tiger.

Li Yu did not practice it, but placed it together with the [Long Live Mantra].

On June 20th, a rock fell from Canghai Island—[Mingshi].

------

"Mingshi"

[Rank] Mystic

[Attribute] Holding this stone makes the sound even louder.

[Description] In the first year of the Yongkang era of the Jin Dynasty, there was a ringing stone in Xiangyang County, resembling jade and bluish-green in color. When struck, its sound could be heard for seven or eight li (approximately 3.5-4 kilometers). In the valley of Changshi Mountain, there were many such stones, their color even more bluish-green, and their sound even louder. —Guo Pu's commentary on the *Classic of Mountains and Seas*

On June 22, the day after Tuoba Tuiyan's death, the Xianbei launched a major attack on the city.

Li Yu, wearing a crane-feather cloak and a turban, was accompanied by his young son Zhang Fei, who carried a zither.

Li Yu placed the [Widow's Silk] and [Sounding Stone] on the table, then sat by the railing and lit the incense burner.

Upon seeing this, Tan Shihuai, who was hidden in the enemy formation, gave a command, and ten thousand arrows were unleashed, raining down like a storm.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, one on the left and one on the right, wielded their swords and spears with such force that they were impenetrable and water could not get through.

Li Yu closed his eyes, picked up the [Widow's Silk] harp, and began to play the [Puppet] melody.

A chilling zither melody rose, and shortly afterward, a strange event occurred beneath the city walls.

Of the tens of thousands of players from Outer Mongolia, more than two thousand turned against their former compatriots, turning their weapons against them.

The player wielding the [Mysterious Grade Lasso] swung the lasso, striking an old shaman in the Xianbei army behind him. The lasso tightened, pulling the shaman closer, and the player slashed at him with a curved blade.

The old shaman didn't even have time to react before his throat was slit, and he died spitting blood.

Chaos broke out below the city. Xia Yu, Guan Yu, Liu Bei, Gongsun Zan and others were overjoyed, opened the city gates and charged in.

Chu Tiankuo, Lü Yi, and Luo Meng followed closely behind, while Zhang Fei cried out and tried to run forward, but was grabbed by Zhang the Butcher.

On the other side, the three-eyed, red-faced man shouted loudly, and Lian even transformed into a [silver body] to kill dozens of people as a deterrent. But unexpected events occurred from within, and the chaos could not be quelled for the time being.

There were also those who "defected" within the Xianbei army, but they were all of the [yellow rank] or below.

Tan Shihuai gave the order: the Xianbei cavalry would charge forward and kill any who defected or fled.

Thus, the Xianbei and Chicheng, with the Outer Mongols as their central axis, clashed together.

The music from the city walls continues, while the sounds of war shake the earth below.

Although the morale of the Chicheng forces was high, and they had the assistance of Li Yu [the puppet], the Xianbei cavalry and the [Donghu soldiers] were simply too powerful. In less than half an hour, Guan Yu, Chu Tiankuo, and the others had to retreat back into the city.

The Xianbei people dared not venture further and sounded the retreat.

In this battle, the Xianbei suffered two to three thousand cavalry casualties, while the Chicheng army lost over a thousand. The Outer Mongols suffered the heaviest casualties, numbering over ten thousand.

Xia Yu, Liu Bei, Chu Tiankuo, and the others felt deeply regretful that they had failed to harm Tan Shihuai.

Li Yu was also helpless. The condition for using the [Seven Arrows Throat-Fixing Book] was knowing the recipient's birth date and time, or using their blood to paint the eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. As for the [Want's Death-Taking Scroll], it required the recipient's blood to be used for writing.

Otherwise, neither of them would be of any use.

Everyone went about their own business, either treating the wounded or comforting the people, but Li Yu hurriedly returned to his residence.
