Chapter 177 Phoenix Winged Phoenix Head, Long Xing
She sat in the room for a long time, not knowing whether she would be able to smell the fragrance or not.
After Jiang Fei heard these two poems, she nodded her head gently, then sneered, and finally said, "I thought I had already looked up to you, but I didn't expect you to even recognize him."
Gu Tianyou was stunned. Wasn't this girl Hu Sanbian's daughter, the phoenix head of the outer eight elements? Why did she say that she didn't seem to know my name from the Three Whips Old Demon? Then how could she be curious about this daddy?
Jiang Fei's face was covered in cold frost, and her eyes shone with cold light. She stared at Gu Tianyou and asked, "Where is the person who told you about this poem?"
Gu Tianyou sniffed and said, "What are you doing? You're not even going to kill the messenger, are you?"
Jiang Fei said coldly, "Cut the crap. Answer whatever you ask!" As she spoke, she flipped her palm, and there was already a dagger in her hand. It was cold and simple, and the blade of the sword looked like a rainbow of flowing clouds. Under the darkness of the night, the dagger actually carried its own brilliance.
Short sword flowing rainbow, Longquan Sword Forging Grandmaster Chen Bolei used meteoric iron to forge sword embryos for fifteen years, exhausting his energy and dying. His disciple, Yang Chengkui, another master swordsman who had inherited the Dragon Spring Sword Forging Technique, had only forged this short sword after ten years of sharpening his sword. The sword fell into Li Jinglin's hands first, then into the hands of the Central Secret Service, Chen Lifu. It was famous for the martyrs who used the sword to assassinate the Japanese general, Big Horn Minister, on the plane. Afterwards, he offered it to the Jinling Museum and transferred it to Jiang Gong's mansion. From then on, it was extinct in Jianghu.
Gu Tianyou was familiar with Jianghu, so he recognized this treasure at a glance. When the old man spoke of this sword, he said, "Breaking gold requires only a hundred refinements of steel. This sword can break ten thousand refined blades." As long as one's martial arts cultivation was slightly successful, one could wield this sword to cross the contemporary era, and one could not use a spear to deal with it.
"Good sword!" Gu Tianyou took out the blue cloth bag that Hu Sanbian had given him from his bosom and said, "Since you know this poem, you must be the one who asked me to give it to you. He also asked me to give it to you. At the same time, he also said that the heartless man will always live in the horizon, and will not let down Jianghu or Qing!"
"Are there still fewer people he has failed?" Jiang Fei stared at the blue cloth bag and was not in a hurry to pick it up. She asked, "What is this?"
"99 Phoenix Towers under Heaven. This blue handkerchief is the keepsake of the Phoenix Tower." Gu Tianyou opened the blue cloth bag and held the small box. "Here is the ashes of the person he loved the most in his life. He said that he would leave it to you to take care of in the future."
When Jiang Fei saw the white jade carved box, her expression immediately changed. When Gu Tianyou finished speaking, her face was already covered in tears and she silently sobbed. Compared to wailing loudly, people could feel her intentionally suppressed sadness. After crying for a long time, he wiped away the tear stains and gnashed his teeth, "What is he going to do? Tell me the rest? Are you the phoenix wing he chose for me?"
"I don't understand what you're saying." Gu Tianyou really didn't understand. With the ability of the Three Whips Old Demon, who could threaten his survival? Is there a need for him to explain the aftermath?
"Here is my mother's ashes. He has been with me for ten years and never leaves me for a moment." Jiang Fei looked at Gu Tianyou with an inexplicable hatred in her eyes, as if she had already treated the person in front of her as the old man with unrestrained and romantic skills. "Since he chose you, he should have told you everything. Did he ever tell you about Long Xing Society?"
Gu Tianyou shook his head.
Jiang Fei pondered for a moment and said, "This is a private espionage organization that has existed for thousands of years. Instigating the general trend of the world is their strong point. Even if the core members of the Long Xing Society feel that it is necessary, changing dynasties is their main job."
"Change dynasties?" Gu Tianyou found it hard to believe and said, "Isn't it too exaggerated?"
Jiang Fei expressionlessly said, "Since you brought this box over, it means that you are the Phoenix Wings he chose for me. Of course, there are some things I want you to know." She explained, "The phoenix head, phoenix wings, dragon head, five claws. Among the eight elements, the phoenix head must have phoenix wings, and the dragon head must have five claws. However, if there is a phoenix head, then there must be no dragon head and five claws. The phoenix head is female, the dragon head is male, and the eight elements in the country no longer have a dragon head. Only the phoenix head is me, and the phoenix wing has not been chosen."
"Feng Yi, what do you want to do?" Gu Tianyou was puzzled. The Three Whips Old Demon didn't say anything to him.
Jiang Fei frowned slightly. Under the fire, her face seemed to darken a little. She said, "This is a little complicated. I'll let you know when the relationship is ripe."
"Then tell me about the Long Xing Society. I will also broaden my horizons."
Gu Tianyou remembered the last time he parted ways with Hu Sanbian at the ferry. He thought to himself, "The old fellow told me in an ambiguous tone that I owed him a favor and that I will definitely pay him back in the future." Thinking of this, he suddenly felt that this answer might not be very wonderful. This Miss Jiang's figure was first-rate, but her appearance was very ordinary.
Jiang Fei did not want to continue the topic of Phoenix Wings, so she introduced this Long Xing Society to Gu Tianyou.
Speaking of the Long Xing Society, one had to start with the history of the ancient spy industry.
The ancient espionage battles of the Heavenly Dynasty were full of surging winds and clouds, emitting fierce auras everywhere. The earliest recorded spying activities of the Celestial Dynasty appeared in the Xia Dynasty, which gave birth to the first female spy of the Celestial Dynasty, Ai. Afterwards, the ancient spy warriors were contracted by the monarch, and various types of spy warriors appeared, such as the most beautiful female spy Xi Shi, the coldest spy Yao Li, the funniest spy Jiang Gan, and so on. In time of war, they were the best "tools" for both sides to gather intelligence. In time of war, their duty was to monitor civilian officials. From the "spy diplomacy" of the Spring and Autumn Period to the "everything is done" of the spying activities of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it can be said that our ancient spying system is very comprehensive.
The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were the "golden age" of ancient spies. In addition to the national military espionage, a group of "private espionage" serving the dukedom and interest groups appeared. At that time, unofficial "agents" were very active, and there were spies from almost all walks of life.
At that time, there were two main ways to recruit private spies: "nurse" and "take in disciples". Xin Lingjun of the Wei Kingdom, Meng Chanjun of the Qi Kingdom, Yuan Jun of the Zhao Kingdom, Chun Shenjun of the Chu Kingdom, these four gentlemen of the Warring States Kingdom had raised thousands of warriors, some of whom were special agents responsible for gathering intelligence; Some of them were equivalent to assassination agents among modern spies, specifically responsible for silencing and sabotage. "Nurse" could be said to be the most popular spy training method at that time.
It was also during this period that the first round of leaps and bounds in the spy technology of the Heavenly Dynasty appeared. The Yin Book, the Yin Talisman, the primitive eavesdropping device, the Hearing Urn, and a series of other means of transmitting and obtaining information were all invented in this period.
The Long Xing Society was founded in the Spring and Autumn Period. It was founded by seven people with unknown names and only seven surnames. They were Zhang, Wang, Li, Liu, Zhao, Chen, Yang. Throughout the ages, these seven descendants of the surname had created glory on this land without any need to elaborate.
Speaking from the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Zhu destroyed Zhang Shicheng and Chen Youlang and drove Emperor Yuanshun away to sit in the Golden Royal Palace. The first thing is to tidy up the heroes, first provoke liu ji tidy up li shanchang, liu ji would rather resign to tell the old, liu ji after illness, old zhu sent hu weiyong with the imperial physician to see a doctor, the result of the imperial physician saw not long after, liu ji died. Old Zhu had killed more than 20,000 meritorious people since he ascended to the throne and sat in the palace hall, and the seven surnames were the most numerous among them.
What he really wanted to destroy was actually the Long Xing Society. He didn't succeed even after his death, so he founded the most famous official spy organization in a thousand years: the Royal Guards.
Long Xing Society was not a simple Jianghu organization, but a secret organization formed by seven of the most powerful surname clans in thousands of years. Sometimes, they would fall apart and cause internal strife, and sometimes they would secretly gather together to unite with the outside world. Each of the seven surnames had its own birthplace, and there were direct descendants of secrets as well as representatives of outsiders. Only those who were qualified to be buried in the ancestral roots of the dragon vein would have the chance to learn about Long Xing Society's secrets.
Emperor Zhu was unable to accomplish this feat until his death. He finally realized that this was not the way to do it, so he ordered the removal of the Royal Guards. Moreover, he told his grandson that since he could not clean up Long Xing Society, he might as well make good use of it. However, he didn't expect that this grandson would lose his confidence and be beaten away by his son. Among the people who helped his son beat away his grandson were Zhang Yufeng, Chen Hengchen Mao, Li Bin, Li Yuan, Wang Cong, and Wang Zhenfeng. Chen Xian, Chen Xu, Chen Xuan, Li Jun.
In the Ming Dynasty, Long Xing Society had fought against the royal family for many years, against the castrated party, against the brocade guards, and against the east and west factories. In the end, Li broke into the capital, and the Qing army entered the Gate, losing the Han family to the rest of the world. Afterwards, they began to fight against the Manchu nobles. They either entered the dynasty as officials, or hid in the city. The seven great geniuses came out in large numbers. No matter what year or month, no overwhelming figure would be able to completely defeat them. Even if a person like the Great Ancestor of this dynasty wanted to go against the times, they would inevitably end up dead and their descendants would be useless. Ten years of great calamity had almost caused the seven surnames to collapse, defeating the most outstanding person surnamed Liu, but the final result was still defeated by time and resources.
Long Xing Society's spies can ascend the temple, Xiao Ke and the end of the alley. They exist, and they don't seem to exist at all. They seemed to have no control over anything, but they could affect the fate of the entire nation. Their spies sometimes spilled their heads and blood for the survival of this country and nation, but they never asked for any official confirmation. Sometimes, they would use their power to seek personal gain, or even engage in internal strife, causing chaos in the world, but they would turn a deaf ear to the criticisms of the people under the heavens.
If Long Xing lived high up in the temple and maintained close contact with the core of power, then the Outer Eight Elements were bitter haha. They were barbarians from the grassroots, Jianghu, and Nine Streams. They had always occupied Jianghu.
Back then, the core family of the Long Xing Society, the Chen brothers, pulled the Outer Eight Elements into the Central Order, Later on, the Long Xing Society did not think highly of the close relationship between Jiang Gong and the Western powers. The Chen brothers gradually faded out of the center of power. As a result, the Outer Eight Elements lost the chance to rise to a higher level. When it reached Hu Rumeng, the Outer Eight Elements had already fallen into disarray. However, the Long Xing Society flourished once again after the death of the Great Ancestor of this dynasty.
"Hu Rumeng is the number one person in the thousand-year history of the Outer Eight Elements, He had the cultivation of a grandmaster of the Republic of China, He was proficient in the secret arts of hypnosis in the East and the West, and he was only proficient in eight secret techniques. Originally, the Outer Eight Elements could have done something in his hands, but he was trapped in one person. He knew that he could not do it and moved against the tide. In the end, the person he loved died in the hands of the spies arranged by the Contemporary Long Xing Society Society. So he let go of all his persistence and killed the five spies.
Gu Tianyou said, "Since he has already avenged himself, why did you say that he wants to explain the future?"
"Because he still has an enemy that he wants to kill the most and is the least confident in killing."
Gu Tianyou changed his mind and guessed, "It's the leader of the Long Xing Society, right?"
Jiang Fei said, "Yes, although this leader is a woman, his abilities may not be inferior to him, and he has outstanding people following him all the time. That's why he waited for ten more years to nurture his daughter who loves life. He decided to do this last thing after seeing her grow up to be his own daughter!"
At this point, she suddenly paused and listened, frowning, "What's going on? Three people with two insects can't catch a python leader?"
