Chapter 3: On Soldiers and Commoners
In addition to the five countries, there are several small nations surrounding them, all of which are vassal states of the five countries, numbering in the hundreds. Some of these small nations have populations exceeding one hundred million, while others have only a few million.
There are also those unfamiliar architectural styles, imbued with an ancient charm, featuring wooden structures, flying eaves, and intricately carved railings, where practically every house is a work of art
Feng Feiyun could not help but smile at this; after all, it was merely recognizing a few characters. What a fuss over nothing! If one were to recite a few ancient scriptures, wouldn't that scare all these people to death?
Indeed, the physical constitution of humans cannot be compared to that of the phoenix. The phoenix is born with innate spiritual energy, and upon its birth, it possesses the power to scorch the heavens and boil the seas. With a single flap of its wings, it can destroy a mountain. In contrast, a human is merely an ordinary being at birth; one must first establish a foundation and transcend the mundane before embarking on the path of cultivation.
This clearly demonstrates the great difficulty involved
Even if they were to meet again, she would not recognize Feng Feiyun; with her pride, she would not even deign to glance at a weak human being.
Indeed, it is a vast human nation
It seems that the only thing left to do now is to diligently cultivate. As long as one's cultivation becomes strong, one will naturally be able to broaden their horizons, ascend to the world stage, embark on the path of immortality once more, stand at the pinnacle of the world again, and see ... sigh
Now she exists like a divine being, while I am merely a humble and insignificant human
I returned the "On Soldiers" in my hand to the bookshelf, and then closed the door of the study, which brought about a slight sense of tranquility
To quickly adapt to a new environment, one must first broaden their knowledge base; only by understanding this world can one adapt to it
The home of Feng Feiyun, the Feng Mansion, is the lord's residence of Lingzhou City
For instance, the extraordinary strategies and peculiar wisdom, if applied to the engraving of formations, will undoubtedly yield remarkable effects
Ah! What is the use of cursing? In the end, it only harms oneself. Accept your fate!" Feng Feiyun sighed.
Since Feng He * Tu * Shfei Yun is already dead, from now on, a new life begins, and all matters of the past life are no longer related to me
The image of that exquisite figure, Shui Yueting, inevitably resurfaces in my mind
It seems that there are world atlases and geographical records in the library of Fengfu, which can indeed be browsed through.
"Young master, you cannot read, and you won't understand the books in this study. You should leave quickly! Otherwise, if the master finds out, we will all be beaten to death with sticks."
There are also unfamiliar cultural customs, all of which stimulate the nerves of Feng Feiyun
"So, as long as I can read, I can stay here?" Feng Feiyun's keen insight immediately discerned the contempt that these four maidservants harbored in their hearts.
Young Master Feng is actually able to read "On Soldiers"
The knowledge of an ordinary person is ultimately limited
Although Feng Feiyun is an unlearned second-generation heir, his father, the Lord of Lingzhou City, Feng Wanpeng, is an outstanding figure with both literary and martial prowess
Four beautiful maidens guarding the book pavilion were anxiously pacing back and forth. Dressed in cloud garments and silk robes, they were all between the ages of sixteen and twenty, with flower-like appearances and tender skin, each a light beauty.
His heart was filled with questions, and he asked: "Has the spirit boat truly transported me to another spatial world, or to the other end of the original world?"
Feng Feiyun has never liked studying since childhood, to the extent that he cannot recognize even a single character.
For instance, if strategies and formations can be employed, it is not necessarily the case that a group of low-level cultivators can trap a great master of the immortal path.
The household has become a complete mess, with the maids and servants all stirred up, creating an atmosphere even more lively than during a festival
Twenty years ago, Feng Wanpeng won the title of the third place in the literary arena of the Shenjin Dynasty, with both his writing and calligraphy being of the highest caliber. As a result, the library in the Feng residence has collected over one hundred thousand volumes of books, including ancient scriptures and poetry, martial arts treatises, strange tales, regional literature, Buddhist and Taoist scriptures, and so on
Young Master Feng, aside from indulging in women, has surprisingly learned to read!
However, the "Immortal Phoenix Body" is extremely difficult to cultivate. Even though Feng Feiyu's previous life was based on the body of a phoenix and had reached the ninth level of transformation, he still did not manage to cultivate the "Immortal Phoenix Body" to the Great Completion stage
Lingzhou City is the largest ancient city within a radius of one thousand miles, managing dozens of county offices in the surrounding area, with a combined population exceeding ten million
Characters are symbols of culture; each world possesses its unique culture, and naturally, there are entirely different scripts.
There are no fewer than 10,000 ancient cities like Lingzhou City in the Shenjin Dynasty
Feng Feiyun is the only son of the Lord of Lingzhou City. He has harmed several virtuous young women in Lingzhou City, and naturally, no one dares to voice any complaints. Everyone can only swallow their grievances when they see him
Even if someone is dissatisfied, they will only be beaten half to death by the officials. To dare to show disrespect to Young Master Feng is to show disrespect to the City Lord, and that is absolutely unacceptable
Although they all treated Feng Feiyun with great respect, deep down they looked down on him, merely considering him a good-for-nothing. He was neither cultured nor skilled in martial arts; if it were not for having a lord father, such a person would be even inferior to a beggar.
Even the lord of Lingzhou City is merely a minor official
Feng Feiyun's background is quite remarkable; his father is the lord of Lingzhou City. Not only does he govern the million citizens of Lingzhou City, but he also oversees dozens of surrounding counties. Every year, the officials from those counties come to Lingzhou City to present gifts and treasures.
Lingzhou City is merely an ordinary ancient city of the Divine Jin Dynasty
A dynasty that can stand for over 6,000 years without falling must possess an unimaginable strength and foundation in its royal family. Six thousand years is a formidable number. Such a powerful dynasty must have nurtured many strong families, nobility, and sects
Since the characters are similar, it indicates that one is still in the original spatial world
"Geographical Lectures of the Divine Ascendant Dynasty"
Feng Feiyun examined ancient texts that recorded various regions, all of which were drawn and documented by the wise ancestors of humanity as they traveled across the world
Quickly convey this message to the master, quickly, quickly, quickly!
As he flipped through these books, Feng Feiyun developed a general understanding of the region in which he currently lived. The Shenjin Dynasty has been established for over 6,000 years, boasting a long history and vast territory. It spans 480,000 miles from north to south and 740,000 miles from east to west, with a population exceeding 100 billion
The World Outlook
This world is indeed vast, and Lingzhou City is merely a drop in the ocean, akin to a single drop of water in the sea or a grain of sand in the desert
I am Feng Feiyun, the wealthy young master of the Feng family, the flamboyant tyrant of Lingzhou City, and the living King of Hell whom everyone fears
They persistently implored Feng Feiyun, as if fearing that this unlearned young master might set the library ablaze.
Although Feng Feiyun was once illiterate, he is now different. While it may not be said that he is exceptionally learned, having lived for over a thousand years has resulted in a formidable accumulation of knowledge that ordinary individuals, who have studied for merely a few decades, cannot possibly compare to
In the consciousness of Feng Feiyun, the Divine Jin Dynasty encompassed the entire world, vast and boundless, with no fewer than ten thousand cities like Lingzhou City, an expanse beyond imagination
As for what lies beyond the Divine Ascension Dynasty, he is completely unaware.
At this moment, the four beautiful maidservants were utterly dumbfounded, shocked to the point of being unable to breathe, as if they had witnessed the most incredible marvel in the world
He can only start from scratch now, taking one step at a time to once again embark on the arduous path of cultivation. This is the only way to survive, as the law of the jungle prevails everywhere. If one does not wish to be devoured by the strong, one must become stronger than the strong.
Feng Feiyun placed the book in his hand back on the bookshelf, some people he no longer wished to think about
The greatest advantage of "The Immortal Phoenix Body" lies in its ability to transform a person's constitution, making it increasingly powerful and extraordinary
It can be said that Feng Feiyun's father is evidently a local emperor, governing an area of a thousand miles around Lingzhou City and nearly ten million citizens
Adjacent to the Shenjin Dynasty are four other dynasties, which, whether in terms of territorial area or population, are not inferior to the Shenjin Dynasty, collectively referred to as the "Five Nations"
Feng Feiyun has been in seclusion on Phoenix Mountain for many years, with almost no understanding of the human world
... ...
This Young Master Feng is truly a debauched scion who lives off others, with a remarkably shallow breadth of knowledge in his mind, of which nine-tenths is related to women, and the remaining tenth is nothing more than indulgence in food, drink, and entertainment. How could I, the dignified leader of the Phoenix Demon Clan, have merged my soul with such a wastrel
If the young master truly knew how to read, the master would be delighted and naturally allow him to stay in the study as long as he wished. However... young master, you cannot even write your own name..." The four beautiful maidservants laughed simultaneously!
Feng Feiyun opened the book "On Soldiers" in his hand and read it aloud. As he read, he nodded in agreement, feeling that the research of ancient human sages on military affairs was profoundly extensive, with many aspects worthy of reference.
Feng Feiyun, upon reaching this point, quickened his pace and hurried towards the direction of the Feng residence
"On Soldiers and Generals." Soldiers are the troops. The commander is the general. The soldiers are like chess pieces, arranged in formations. The commander is like a flag, issuing commands...
Upon reaching this point, Feng Feiyun could not help but stop, gazing at the unfamiliar passersby around him. They all had black eyes, black hair, and yellow skin; these were not the transformed forms of the demon race, but true human beings.
"Atlas of the Five Nations"
Feng Feiyun let out a slight sigh of relief; it seems that Lingzhou City is indeed located in a corner of the original world, as depicted in the *map*. Since it is still in the same world, it is only a matter of time before he meets those old acquaintances again
After a long period of shock, the four maidservants suddenly came to their senses and rushed out of the study, shouting as they ran: "Young Master Feng can read! Young Master Feng can read!"
The place he is currently in is called Lingzhou City
My goodness! Young Master Feng is truly remarkable; he can actually read!
I am no longer the leader of the Phoenix clan, but merely an ordinary human youth. To change my current physique, I must cultivate the "Undying Phoenix Body." Once I reach the Great Completion stage, I can live for ninety thousand years, and even after death, my body will not decay.
... ...
The master will surely be overjoyed upon learning of this matter
This was his first time entering the library. Gazing at the densely packed collection of books before him, which included ancient scrolls, bamboo slips, and manuscripts, he couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions. How had he never visited such a treasure trove before?
The discussion of soldiers and generals emphasizes that soldiers are paramount. By understanding the principles of change and clarifying strategies for decisive action, one will achieve victory in every battle
According to the book "World Outlook," the Five Great Dynasties are merely a remote corner of this continent, and the records of regions beyond the Five Great Dynasties are scarce. Even the author has only vaguely noted a few points, resulting in only a blurred concept.
Feng Feiyun casually picked up a finely bound ancient book from the bookshelf. On the cover, three powerful and vigorous characters were inscribed. Upon seeing these three characters, Feng Feiyun felt a slight joy; although these characters had changed somewhat from the script of his previous world, they still bore a resemblance and were not difficult to recognize
The bronze pillars of the朱门, the high walls of the garden, with nine entrances and exits, and with no fewer than five hundred servants and maids, it is simply like a grand palace.
Young Master, the Master has long stated that you are not allowed to enter the study. If any books are damaged, the Master will surely be furious, and everyone will suffer the consequences
