The Great Wind Rises: Qin and Yan
Ma Feifei nodded and continued, "Starting tomorrow, you can come to the Bookstore to read. All the books in the Bookstore are open to you; you only need to pay eight Spirit Crystal each day. Please search (Pinshu. com) to read the most complete collection of novels!"
This was the most help Ma Feifei could offer. To be honest, Ma Feifei didn't even know if helping him in this way was the right thing to do or the wrong thing to do.
"Thank you, shopkeeper!" Li Bieli knew that this was indeed the greatest help the shopkeeper could give her, and she was so grateful that she wanted to kneel down and bow again.
Ma Feifei reached out to stop him, saying, "Alright, stop kneeling. Go back and rest to recharge your energy so you can concentrate better when you read and improve your comprehension."
Li Bieli nodded without any pretense, clasped his hands in a respectful greeting to Ma Feifei, and then turned and limped away.
Ma Feifei watched Li Bieli's retreating figure, sighed, and followed him.
Inside the Bookstore.
Crown Prince Yan was engrossed in reading. He was now very interested in reading, especially after discovering that the book "Han Feizi" was about the art of rulership, which made him even more enthusiastic.
The book "Han Feizi" is the representative work of Han Feizi, the great synthesizer of Legalism during the Warring States period. The main idea of "Han Feizi" is to talk about the theory of "taking law as the main body" and combining law, tactics and power.
A deeper level of understanding involves describing the monarch's power, the art of governing his ministers, and the methods of ruling the people, such as: A monarch should use his power and methods to implement the rule of law. The rule of law ensures lasting order, lasting order ensures long-term stability, and long-term stability ensures national strength.
However, those who employ tactics and strategies aim to eliminate selfish desires and sever human nature. No ruler in a hundred years has adhered to this principle.
Therefore, a nation cannot be permanently strong because it cannot enjoy lasting peace; it cannot enjoy lasting peace because it cannot maintain consistent order; it cannot maintain consistent order because its laws perish; and it cannot maintain consistent order because it loses its power and influence.
The ruler lost power and influence because of his own selfishness. But a ruler is human; can anyone always be without selfishness?
As a member of the royal Yan State, Crown Prince Yan was made crown prince at a young age. Apart from his cultivation, he studied how to become a qualified monarch and how to govern the country well. Crown Prince Yan was very interested in books on this subject.
Not to mention, the theories described in this book, Han Feizi, were all things he had never heard of before.
Therefore, Crown Prince Yan became obsessed.
Seeing that Crown Prince Yan was engrossed in reading, Ma Feifei did not disturb him. Instead, he prepared to return to the Green Grassland to teach his three thousand students to read the Analects. However, when he reached the door of Room Number One, Ma Feifei suddenly sensed a reaction from Room Number Two next to him.
"It seems like the Book World has been triggered?" Ma Feifei looked at the second private room and couldn't help but walk over and quietly open the door.
On the empty coffee table in private room number two, the pages of "The Art of War" were slowly being turned.
'Brush!'
A beam of golden light shot into the sky, piercing straight Infiltrator the roof!
Ma Feifei was taken aback and immediately ran out of the Bookstore.
Meanwhile, people strolling through the streets and alleys of Dubian Town also saw the golden light shooting into the sky and stopped to watch.
"That direction seems to be the Divine Bookstore?" someone asked, looking in the direction of the golden light.
"Has some rare treasure appeared? Why is there such a big reaction?" a cultivator asked in confusion.
Such strange phenomena are not uncommon; generally, the emergence of ninth-tier rare and precious materials and spiritual artifacts is always accompanied by some strange phenomena.
"Go take a look quickly." After saying this, one of the cultivators leaped onto the roof and sped towards the Divine Bookstore.
The cultivators around also realized what was happening. Those who could fly took off, while those who couldn't imitated them. In no time, the rooftops of Dubian Town were filled with cultivators flying around.
In the blink of an eye, the area outside the Divine Bookstore was packed with people.
The cultivators inside the Bookstore also sensed the soaring golden light and stopped reading, heading outside to see what was happening. Even Crown Prince Yan, upon seeing such a grand spectacle, temporarily stopped reading Han Feizi, put the book down, and went outside.
Outside the door, Ma Feifei stared solemnly at the projection in mid-air. This projection was different from the previous one; it was several times larger and had been projected directly into the air. According to Ma Feifei's estimation, the distance between the projection and the ground was about twenty meters, meaning that everyone had to look up to see it.
Of course, that's not the point; the point is the background.
The Luan Feng's silhouette against the backdrop of a battlefield!
On the vast, desolate land, two large armies, one black and one red, faced each other ten miles apart.
Dafeng rises, and the flags flutter.
Qin and Yan!
This was actually a war from the Warring States period!
"Are the Qin State and Yan State mentioned in the book?" The cultivators below were a little confused when they saw the banners of the two armies.
Judging from the current context, everyone has already guessed that the projection is from the book "The Art of War" in the Divine Bookstore; because the name "The Art of War" tells everyone that it is a military treatise; and since it is the Art of War, it naturally discusses war, which fits the current scene perfectly; however, none of them have read "The Art of War," so they are not familiar with its contents, which is why the appearance of the Qin and Yan armies gave everyone a momentary illusion that the Qin State and Yan State of the Azure Dragon Continent were at war.
"They look so imposing!" a cultivator exclaimed, watching the two armies facing off on the projection.
"Indeed, the generals are like dragons and the soldiers are like tigers; the Xianglong Camp of the Chu Kingdom is even stronger in terms of momentum," said a middle-aged man with a rather imposing presence. He was a third-rank general and had a good understanding of the Chu Kingdom soldiers.
"The leader of the Red Army must be the one who was sucked in, right?" someone asked, pointing to the strongest general in the Red Army.
In the projection, Luan Feng, dressed in red and riding a white horse, stood prominently at the forefront of the army.
"She really is a general," someone couldn't help but say.
For the past month, as long as the Bookstore remains open, everyone has seen this woman in red reading in front of the Divine Bookstore, and she always reads "The Art of War." People have been secretly speculating about her identity for a long time.
The most common speculation is that the woman in red is a general, but not a general of the Great Chu.
Everything that's happening now basically proves that everyone's guesses were correct.
Studying different books in the Divine Bookstore can yield different benefits, but not every book is suitable for everyone. For example, a military treatise like "The Art of War" would likely never trigger the Book World if attempted by a cultivator who only knows how to fight. Only those who understand military strategy and warfare can comprehend its contents and trigger the Book World. Even if one does manage to comprehend it and trigger the Book World, what's the point? Should one change careers and join the army because of this? That's utterly absurd.
This is the basis upon which everyone affirms the identity of Luan Feng.
