[Yes, I can use the Taoist Sealing Technique, but I rarely use this skill, and I don’t have many talismans in stock. I’ll use one to test the waters first. I can’t make the same mistake again.]
Shen Yuelan carefully chose an area with fewer fighters to place the talisman. It must be said that she was very professional and efficient in harvesting. As soon as the talisman fell, the ghost army within its influence range was instantly sucked into it.
The entire battlefield fell silent in an instant. After a brief silence, the ghost army quickly began to flee, while the Qin army became more and more excited. They no longer killed the enemies one by one.
Instead, they quickly changed their strategy and surrounded the remaining more than 100,000 ghost soldiers. Seeing this, Shen Yuelan did not waste any time and immediately took out a stack of Taoist sealing talismans and threw them towards the location of the ghost army.
Countless ghosts were sucked into the rune black hole storm formed by the Taoist seal. Wherever the black hole went, no grass grew. The more than 100,000 ghost soldiers entrenched in Tufei City were wiped out in a very short time.
Looking at the Taoist talisman that had grown larger in her hand, Shen Yuelan became worried again. What's the point of keeping it with so many resentful ghosts?
Originally, she wanted to burn these resentful ghosts to death directly to prevent them from running out and harming the human world again, but after being persuaded by Shen Huanyan and others, Shen Yuelan finally chose to keep these ghost armies.
The reasons of Shen Huanyan and others were very simple. They believed that just because these ghost soldiers were useless in Shen Yuelan's hands, it did not mean they had no value in the hands of others. Shen Yuelan could first inquire about the value of these ghost soldiers before making a decision.
If it is profitable, then it would be great to take it back and sell it or give it to others. Shen Yuelan thought it made sense, so she collected the talismans filled with resentful ghosts for future use.
After finally getting rid of those vengeful ghosts, before Shen Yuelan could breathe a sigh of relief, in the center of Philadelphia, at the Juhou Palace that Shen Yuelan and others had just explored, an astonishing amount of resentment suddenly erupted. It turned out to be a ghost king-level evil spirit.
[Tsk, what the novel said is true. After beating the little one, the big one comes. After dealing with the big one, the old one will come, right? ]
[Hiss, Su Yi, stop being such a bad-mouthed person. If a ghost emperor really shows up, you'll see how I'll deal with you.]
Suyi, who was scolded by Shen Sushang, stuck out her tongue mischievously. She looked at the evil ghost in the distance. Judging from the clothes he wore when he was alive, he was at least a duke-level figure.
After Shen Yuelan used her work computer to quickly search, she quickly identified the ghost's identity. It turned out to be the obsession of the first generation Ju Hou Du Jiameng. No one knew who had cultivated it into such an evil creature.
[I need to ask someone to come and look at the Feng Shui of this place someday. How come there are so many ghosts here? Oh, by the way, which management bureau should I contact for this matter? ]
[Contact the Time Management Bureau. They are responsible for everything that happened in the past. As for who they ask to handle it, that is their business and has nothing to do with us.]
Shen Huanyan answered Shen Yuelan's question very quickly and quickly passed the blame to others. Shen Yuelan couldn't help but sigh that Huanyan was already a very mature secretary.
Seeing that the enemy was approaching, Shen Yuelan and others had to fight again. Although they had no choice, they had no fear at this moment. What was there to be afraid of? There was also a Demon King in their team.
However, this time Qin Rui's soldiers could not help much, but on the contrary, Su Yi and others could observe the dark and distorted human figure with their naked eyes.
There is no need to kill it completely, just beat it half to death. Shen Yuelan and others are still hoping to sell it for money, and if it dies, all their efforts will be in vain.
But as a ghost king, Zhu Hou's obsession is obviously much stronger than that of ordinary ghosts. It's not because he is so strong, but because this guy is slippery. After confirming that he could not beat Shen Yuelan and others, he kept running around, trying to escape.
Shen Yuelan and others tried their best but failed to defeat it. Although Shen Yuelan's reserve of talismans could support her to create another rune black hole, it was obviously not cost-effective to spend so many talismans for such a small ghost king.
Therefore, Shen Yuelan and others could only play cat and mouse with this guy, constantly consuming its energy. Anyway, they were not in a hurry, so they just wanted to see who could outlast the other.
It took the crowd about three days to finally consume all of this guy's energy and make him fall to the ground. Shen Yuelan snorted coldly, threw the talisman in her hand lightly, and caught the Ghost King and put him into the talisman.
Out of curiosity, Shen Yuelan also deliberately explored what exactly was the obsession of Ju Hou Du Jiameng? What could make this guy so resentful?
After careful inspection, I realized that this was a family ethics drama. It turned out that Ju Hou Du Jiameng and his brother Du Shang were both sons of the King of Shu. However, the throne was passed to Du Shang by the old King of Shu instead of himself who was more outstanding. This made Du Jiameng very dissatisfied.
Although his brother Du Shang treated him very well after he succeeded to the throne and granted him a fiefdom and made him a marquis of Zhu, Du Jiameng was always resentful about the succession, which even affected the subsequent relationship between Shu and Zhu.
Even after Du Jiameng died, his obsession with the matter showed no sign of dissipating, and even grew stronger, to the point where he turned into an evil ghost and wandered around the world, unable to dissipate for a long time.
Speaking of the ancient Shu Kingdom that Du Jiameng was so worried about, their Du family was not the first clan to rule Shu. In the historical legends handed down from Shu, six clans had dominated this place one after another.
In order of their ruling order, there are six major clans, namely Shushan, Cancong, Baiguan, Yufu, Duyu and Kaiming, and most of these tribes can be traced.
The Shushan clan is said to have lived in the same era as Huangdi, but so far no definite historical relics have been found to correspond to them. The Yingpanshan site, which dates back 5500-6000 years, is currently the most likely candidate.
The Cancong clan, the Baiguan clan and the Yufu clan can correspond to the three historical stages of the Sanxingdui culture.
The ruling period of the Du Yu clan can be specifically traced back to the period before and after the historical event of King Wu's conquest of King Zhou. The historical relics corresponding to this historical stage are mainly the Jinsha Ruins in Chengdu.
The last Kaiming clan is the clan of the Du brothers. It is said that the Kaiming Dynasty was established by Emperor Bie Ling after Emperor Wang Du Yu abdicated the throne to Emperor Cong Bie Ling. However, this statement still needs to be verified.
Because the Kaiming clan was destroyed by King Huiwen of Qin in 316 BC after twelve generations. If the abdication of Emperor Wang Du Yu is true, the Kaiming clan must have ruled Shu for at least six hundred years.
The Kaiming clan only lasted for twelve generations, and the country was founded six hundred years ago. On average, a king had to be in power for at least fifty years to support this number.
Considering the lifespan of ancient people, it would take at least sixty generations for the dynasty to achieve this level of prosperity, so there is obviously some water in this figure.
Moreover, the abdication system in ancient times was mostly just talk, and no one knows how they actually abdicated.
So the real situation may be that the Du Yu clan defeated the originally dominant Yu Fu clan long before King Wu's conquest of King Zhou, and continued its rule until the Spring and Autumn Period.
The Du Yu clan was probably defeated by the Kaiming clan that migrated from Jingchu around the middle and late Spring and Autumn Period.
As for the legend of King Wang's abdication, it was purely a gilded image by the Kaiming clan. As an alien clan, they fabricated political legends in order to quickly integrate into the local political ecology and strengthen their rule over the people of Shu.
This is similar to the fact that after the establishment of dynasties in later generations, they had to fabricate some myths and legends for their founding monarchs to demonstrate their legitimacy.
The historical relics corresponding to the Kaiming clan are mainly the ruins of the ancient city of Pi County, which may be the capital where the Du Yu clan lived in the late rule and the early and middle rule of the Kaiming clan.
【Roar! ! ! ! 】
Before Shen Yuelan could think through these academic issues, a strange noise suddenly came from the southwest direction of Philadelphia.
[Hmm? The unusual thing is not the vomiting of Philadelphia? ]
Shen Yuelan clenched her hands into the shape of a telescope and looked far toward the southwest, trying to see what the invading enemy looked like.
[Tsk, Su Yi's bad mouth really came true again. After beating the big one, the old one really came again. Oh, let's see which big nemesis has appeared again. ]
Chapter 193 Hard-core Ghost Emperor
The great enemy soon came roaring over, but Shen Yuelan was not sure of his identity. He looked like the last descendant of the Du Yu clan, who had abdicated the throne to the legendary Emperor Wang Du Yu.
Of course, Du Yu himself was already dead, and what remained in this world was his endless resentment towards the Kaiming clan for usurping the throne. However, he was different from the insane evil spirit that Shen Yuelan had imagined.
This guy seemed to have regained his sanity and looked quite happy.
Shen Yuelan looked down at the talisman in her hand that sealed Du Jiameng's ghost, and she instantly understood this guy's intention. He didn't come here to fight, but to gloat over someone else's misfortune.
[I am the ghost of the Du Yu clan, the accumulation of the obsessions of the Du Yu clan throughout the generations. The Kaiming clan betrayed their loyalty and repaid kindness with hatred, seized my throne, destroyed my clan, and cut off my bloodline. This is truly an ancestral enemy.]
[However, in the past, Kaiming was very powerful. Even if he fell into the ghost realm, he still had his subjects to accompany him. I was no match for him. Today, I am very happy to see Kaiming's ghost being captured by you! ]
[I have thought it over again and again, and have come here specially to see you. I only hope that you will give me the blood of my enemy to relieve my hatred. I am willing to offer my body as a token to your envoy, and serve you at all times to repay your kindness.]
After the Du Yu ghost finished speaking, the black fog that enveloped him gradually dissipated, revealing the image of a petite Shu girl. Hmm? You know what, this Du Yu ghost is quite unique.
The ghost girl was wearing local characteristic clothing (two pieces of animal skins) and had dark and smooth short hair that went over her ears. If you ignore her height, she still looks quite heroic. But if you add her height, she would just look cute.
In complete contrast to her cute appearance, this guy has strength that is not inferior to Shen Sushang. She is an absolute Great Ghost King. If a real fight breaks out, Shen Yuelan may not be able to subdue her.
Therefore, when Shen Yuelan heard the ghost girl's request for surrender, she was immediately delighted. Using a ghost king who was of unknown use to exchange for a helper at the level of a ghost emperor, if there was no calculation here, it would be a real bargain.
Shen Yuelan carefully sought the opinions of Shen Sushang, Shen Huanyan and others. When no one objected, Shen Yuelan agreed to the conditions for the ghost of the Du Yu family to surrender.
She was very magnanimous and threw the Kaiming ghost in her hand to the Duyu ghost.
[It would be too much trouble to give you bone and blood separately. It would have to be processed. I'll just give it to you as a whole. I'm going to say this in advance. Since you've decided to follow me, you must keep your promise and don't become a ghost who breaks the alliance.]
The ghost girl of the Du Yu clan, who obtained the Kaiming clan's ghost, nodded very happily. She held the sealing talisman in her hand and showed an extremely happy expression.
If we ignore her identity, the ghost girl of the Du Yu clan is now just like an ordinary little girl. She cherishes the [doll] in her hand very much. Shen Yuelan thinks that maybe she can let her and Shao Jiang become playmates in the future.
Just as Shen Yuelan was immersed in beautiful fantasies, a crisp sound of bones breaking suddenly came from a distance. It was the ghost girl of the Du Yu family devouring the ghost of the Kai Ming family.
While the ghost girl was feasting on the food, she was also complaining that Shen Yuelan had made Kaiming thinner and less plump.
Shen Yuelan almost vomited when she saw this. Are ghosts nowadays so hardcore? They just eat raw food? By the way, is the Kaiming clan ghost actually a physical entity?
Before Shen Yuelan could recover from the bloody scene, the meal was already finished. The Kaiming ghost king was eaten completely. There was probably no longer any ghost of Du Jiameng in the world.
[I haven’t introduced myself to my master yet. My last name is Du, my clan name is Du Yu, and my given name is Juan, so I am Du Juan.]
Shen Yuelan looked at Du Juan, who was licking her lips, with some tiredness, and completely gave up the idea of letting her play with Shao Tang. Although she had already submitted to her, she was still a ghost after all. It would be better not to make things difficult for each other in terms of dealing with people and teaching.
Let's observe her for a few days first. If she can really be trusted, then there's no harm in giving her these 100,000 enlightened ghost soldiers in my hands as snacks.
After Du Juan appeared, the place finally calmed down and there were no more abnormalities. Shen Yuelan and his party were able to leave here smoothly and head towards Xianyang City.
If they had enough time, they might have been able to witness the aftermath of the Queen Dowager Xuan's murder of King Yiqiu.
Shen Yuelan and others planned to settle down in a village near Xianyang City. Shen Yuelan didn't dare to enter the city easily, as it would be bad if she met any acquaintances again.
The so-called aftermath actually refers to the celebrations of the upper class nobles of Qin after it destroyed the Yiqiu Kingdom. After all, the destruction of Yiqiu was of great significance to Qin. After the major threat in the west was completely resolved, Qin no longer had any worries when it went east.
At this time, the Qin State was like a dormant dragon that had been untied. It had already returned to the sea and entered the mountains, waiting for the east wind to arrive so that it could devour the six Shandong states.
Of course, this is just Shen Yuelan's God's perspective. In fact, in the eyes of the other six countries, the demise of Yiqiu was not a big deal. After all, the Yiqiu tribe was just a pawn they used to distract Qin's attention.
The only thing that can irritate the nerves of the six countries now is the life and death of the six states in Shandong.
After all, whether Yiqiu was destroyed or not would not affect their own life and death, but as long as one of the six states in Shandong died, the other five states would find it difficult to survive. After so many years of lobbying by the diplomats, the monarchs of the six states had already been very clear about this.
Therefore, even though the Qin State had become a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, it would not be able to defeat the six states in Shandong in a short time. It would take at least another forty years to do so.
[My Lord, I heard that the Wei man Fan Sui is about to enter Qin.]
[Fan Ju? Humph, although both are from Wei, the roles he and Zhang Yi played in front of the King of Qin are completely different.]
[Aren’t they both prime ministers of Qin? What’s the difference? ]
【Zhang Yi was King Huiwen's counselor and minister, but Fan Ju was no different to King Zhaoxiang than Qin Hui was to Emperor Gaozong of Song. He was a villain, a villain of the king, but Fan Ju just followed the right master.】
[It seems that you don't like Fan Ju very much. ]
[Of course I don't like it. After all, I spent two days in the Bai family and have some friendship with them. However, Bai Qi's death is closely related to Fan Ju.]
[Regardless of whether King Zhaoxiang had the intention behind this action, since he dared to take the blame, then this matter cannot be separated from him, and I naturally hate him. ]
Shen Yuelan was discussing her likes and dislikes of Fan Ju with Du Juan when a cry for help from outside the courtyard interrupted their conversation. The person who came called himself Zhang Lu and came from the State of Wei.
He said that he had been traveling for more than half a month and was now out of water and food, so he begged Shen Yuelan to give him a meal.
Shen Yuelan pondered for a moment and said nothing more. He just asked Dujuan to get him some wild vegetable dumplings to fill his stomach. Zhang Lu thanked him repeatedly and said that he would come back to repay the favor after he became rich.
After he finished eating, Shen Yuelan asked Du Juan to bring him a bowl of hot soup. After he was full, she waved goodbye. Shen Yuelan didn't want to have anything to do with this person, and didn't want to be hated by him.
Because this person was none other than Fan Ju, who changed his name and fled to Qin after being humiliated in Wei.
Chapter 194: Revenge
Looking at Fan Sui's receding back, Shen Yuelan guessed that this man did not tell the truth. Calculating the date, Fan Sui should have been on his way to Qin with Qin envoy Wang Ji when he ran into Wei Ran, Marquis of Rang, who always hated lobbyists from various countries. In order to avoid his edge, he temporarily stayed away from the caravan.
However, Shen Yuelan was too lazy to expose him. Fan Sui was a well-known person who clearly distinguished between favors and grudges and would never let go of any grudge. He gave high positions and generous salaries to Zheng Anping, Wang Ji and others who had done him favors, and would fulfill their every request.
Even if he had to give away all his wealth, he would repay all those who had helped him. Even if it was just a small favor like giving him a meal, he would definitely repay them, just as he had just promised.
On the other hand, he would definitely take revenge even for a small grudge or grudge against someone who glared at him. Xu Jia, Wei Qi and others who had bullied and humiliated him were killed by Fan Sui in retaliation.
The origin of the phrase "revenge for every grievance" is the story of Fan Sui. Shen Yuelan can actually understand Fan Sui's performance after he achieved success. The saying "Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west" is exactly what it means.
But with the example of Zhang Yi, who also became the prime minister of Qin and still behaved well, Fan Sui's eating habits can be said to be ugly.
[This person is Fan Sui. He seems to be okay, not as ugly as the legend says.]
Upon hearing this, Shen Yuelan hit Du Juan's head hard. This girl was obviously a person who only cared about appearance. She only looked at people's appearance. If they were good-looking, she would like to play with them, but if they were not good-looking, she would stay away from them.
Because Shen Yuelan is pretty, this guy is particularly devoted to her. According to her, there is no ugly person in Shen Yuelan's team.
However, there is one exception, and that is Shao Tang. The little girl is an ordinary person after all. Although she has a good foundation, she didn't have enough food before, so she looks a little pale and thin.
Shaotang has been looked down upon by that bastard Dujuan a lot during this period of time, and the little girl has lost her confidence.
[Can't you change your lustful habit? Pretty people mean good people? There are so many femme fatales. How can the Queen Mother Xuan be ugly? I'll give you a stab, no ambiguity at all.]
[And the Cong Di Bie Ling who killed you, was it because he was so good-looking that you let your guard down? ]
Du Juan, who was hit in the sore spot by Shen Yuelan, squatted in the corner and drew circles angrily. She was of course aware of her own problems. In fact, a large part of her obsession with Du Yu was caused by the death of beauty.
But don’t those Du Yus know that they are lustful? Of course they know, after all, there are so many lessons from the past. But knowing is one thing, but whether they can change is another.
Anyway, Du Juan felt that she was in a bad enough situation. The reason why she was so happy when she first met Shen Yuelan was not because of that ugly Kaiming ghost, but because Shen Yuelan's appearance was very consistent with her XP.
It is very difficult to find a wife of equal status these days. Dujuan had been on blind dates for hundreds of times but failed. Unexpectedly, he met her here. It is really true that after searching for a long time, he finally got her without any effort.
Of course, there is no need to tell Shen Yuelan about this, otherwise this guy will bully her by relying on her beauty. However, that seems to be a good idea, hehe.
Looking at Du Juan who was immersed in erotic fantasies, Shen Yuelan carried her back into the room with a twitching mouth. Du Juan thought he had hidden it very well, but in fact, he was quite naive and everything could be seen on his face.
How much cunning can such a person have when she has lived in the remote mountains for many years? Apart from the fact that this guy is a little bit perverted, Shen Yuelan still likes her quite a bit.
No one would hate a simple little girl, and Shen Yuelan is no exception. Du Juan is indeed a child in a sense, and since she is a child, she can be taught.
Shen Yuelan, who already has some experience in parenting, is confident that she can teach Dujuan well. He's just a little pervert. Look how easy it is for Master Shen to catch him!
This time, they probably won’t leave me so easily, Shen Yuelan thought timidly in her heart.
[Speaking of which, is this the time period when Alexander is on his eastern expedition? ]
[No, I remember Alexander's expedition to the east was between 334 BC and 324 BC, during the reign of King Huiwen of Qin. They fought all the way to the Indus River Basin, and only stopped when Alexander became seriously ill.]
[Alas, Alexander died too early. It would have been better if he could have invaded the Western Regions and conquered the Qin State.]
