idn't seem to like this fourteenth brother very much, just humming softly in acknowledgement.He was followed by four slender and beautiful court ladies, as usual, with a charming air.When he reached t...After Jiuhong left, the powerful figures from all sides, whether openly or secretly, also dispersed.
A tiny little country, with vast emptiness.
Gev Fei, kneeling in the street, covered his face and wept unceasingly, but no one paid him any attention.
Those who can influence him, I don't bother with. Those who cannot, I fear to deal with.
The sound of sobbing echoed through the streets, lingering in the sky as the light rain persisted.
At a certain moment, Ge Fei suddenly felt very cold.
>
He slowly released his hands, pitiful as a withered thorny tree. In the pooled water on the ground, there were a few crimson dots, his blood and tears.
He blinked hard, and in the water, he saw a reflection.
He was a tall man, very imposing. His face was like blazing fire, unbearable to look at.
>
Ge Fei leaped to his feet, wanting to flee, but in an instant, he lost all strength. He looked up in horror, seeing only a gigantic palm pressing down on him—the edge of the palm seemed like the end of the universe, and its center was filled with mountains and rivers stretching endlessly.
And on the crowded street, passersby only saw the ferocious and cruel appearance of Ge Fei's true form. His body constantly fluctuated in shape, being manipulated at will by an invisible hand.
Creaking, bones crackling.
Blood flows steadily, endlessly.
In the astonished gaze of the people, Ge Fei raised his head ——
The once grotesque features became even more hideous. The nose rose high and wide, the nostrils flared outward constantly, and the lips turned outward. Two lumps sprouted on his head, from which grew twisted, spiraled horns!
His figure kneeling on the ground was also expanding, directly shattering the Confucian shirt on his body, revealing a body of solid white muscle. His hands and feet turned into four bull hooves, supporting his huge frame. A scaled tail grew from behind his hips, like a snake swimming.
His eyes widened, filled with terror, unwillingness, and fear.
He was left with only these agonizing emotions, for he was helpless, utterly unable to stop the changes his body was undergoing.
The rumors about Yinxiang Peak's master are nothing but the ramblings of ordinary folk.
A genuine person, right before our eyes, was transformed into a living sea monster from the Shan Hai Jing. And it wasn't Zhu Jiu Yin!
Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!
What a terrifying means!
"It resembles an ox with a white head, one eye, and a snake's tail. Its name is ' Fei'. When it walks on water, the water dries up; when it walks on grass, the grass dies. If you see it, there will be a great plague throughout the world."

The Revenant has transformed into a legendary calamity beast!
Before his death, Ge Yu said that Ge Fei was just "Fei" of the Ge family.
That's a venomous description; he surely didn't expect his words to come true. Now, Ge Fei has truly become "fei" (meaning gossip)!
This is the end of a paragraph.
The 'disaster' of the calamity beast and the 'good fortune' of the auspicious phoenix are now in balance. The ordinary people on the street have not suffered because of this.
But creatures like the Disaster Beast, staying in one place for too long, inevitably harm everything around them, turning thousands of miles into barren land.
As Fan Wujue, who was still discussing new policies in the palace, received the news and hurried over, he only saw a giant hand holding the transforming monster in its palm.
That resentful, painful struggle of the fly, transformed into such a tiny thing, rolling back and forth in the large hand.
Even the roars of despair and struggles of anger seem quite adorable.
Life is like this, your pain is irrelevant to others. Bystanders only see it as entertainment.
Perhaps Fan Wujue had a tinge of pity, but he didn't have time to sympathize. The moment he saw that imposing figure, he heard that powerful voice — "To the question I asked you back then, do you have an answer now"
Fan Wushu opened his mouth.
Then he heard the man say, “You need not answer me; the answer is within you.”
With that single utterance, the man grasped the lies in his palm and vanished into the bustling street.
Only Fan Wushu stood there, silent for a long time.
That year's question -- "What 'li' is there in governing the country"
The person who asked the question...
The three leaders of the Equal Nation are Saintly, Godly Hero, and King Zhao.
"respectively stand for 'public', 'righteousness', and 'reason'."
These three words are the foundation of equality.
When Jiuhuang was born, the world was in turmoil.
Yuè, Lí, Chǔ, and Jùchéng, both openly and secretly, are all affected.
Various factions, powerful individuals, each with their own intentions.
The Duke of Huai's Mansion was unusually peaceful.
Jiang Wang is having dinner here.
In the dining hall, there were only five people: Duke Huai of Left Xiaoyao, Princess Yuyun Chang Jingyu, Zuo Guangshu, Qu Shunhua, and Jiang Wang. It was a genuine family dinner.
After securing victory in Qian Tang with a single strike, Jiang Wang journeyed straight to the Chu state.
The old master went to Yueguo himself to fetch the person. He didn't want the elderly to wait too long.
Of course, he also informed the Ministry of War about Dou Zhao's fall into the Netherworld — Shen Cui had already set out with his troops, and Song Bodhi had followed on a golden bridge to the ruins, seeking out his unfilial grandson himself.
“My elder brother has made up his mind.” Xiong Jingyu ladled a small bowl of soup and placed it in front of Qu Shunhua, casually saying, “Father, do you know about this”

Qiu Shunhua held the soup, smiled sweetly, and mouthed "Thank you, Mama" to her elders so as not to interrupt their conversation.
Zuo Xiao held a bowl in one hand and chopsticks in the other, swallowing each grain of rice meticulously before saying, "The problems of Chu State aren't something that arose today. How could I not know"
The problem of the State of Chu lies in the resolve of King Chu.
All monarchs who aspire to rule the world cannot fail to see the ailments of Chu. But after so many years of intricate and knotted struggles, it has become a complex web of flesh and blood. A slight touch could inflict severe damage.
The State of Chu has stood for nearly four thousand years. Countless talented individuals have come and gone, yet none have been able to unravel this predicament. For everyone is trapped within it, bound by blood ties. They can only watch as the prosperity of Chu grows ever greater, its splendor surpassing all others, but also increasingly distorted.
"Now is the perfect time." Zuo Guangxu spoke. "The Shenxiao era approaches, and no nation dares to wage war. The Nandou Hall has been destroyed, and Yue Guo poses no more threat. We fear nothing from anyone wielding us as a tool. Huang Wei has returned victorious, and past grievances are forgotten. Uncle wants to implement reforms, and there is no better time than now."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
When talking about serious matters, Qu Shunhua became serious: "Initially, I thought that without my and Guangshu's support, Chu Yu would find it difficult to get by and wouldn't last long. But not only did he survive in Chu State, he and his Tongyi Society thrived. That's when I knew someone must have been secretly supporting him, and now that person is very obvious - the latest slogan chanted by Tongyi Society says, 'Wealth can be passed on, but nobility cannot. Affection can be passed on, but power cannot.' The essence is nothing but weakening the aristocratic families. It must be the Emperor's intention, representing the core of this new policy, thrown out to test the waters."
Zuo Guangshen lowered his eyes and said, "Your uncle has gone to protect Huang Wei in his own name. His attitude is already very clear. When Chu State reached a point where it had to change, he was willing to give up everything for this."
Jiang Wang felt a bit restless. Although this was a family dinner, all the guests were top officials from Chu State. Their conversations often touched upon state affairs and involved many secrets. He really couldn't listen too much.
Left Xia looked at him and pulled him back from the uncomfortable "outsider" to the "insider": "You just returned from Yue State, how do you think their new policies are"
Jiang Wang respectfully put down his chopsticks and shook his head: “I have no experience in governing, I don't understand any of this. I think all the policies make sense, but I can find flaws in each one. But if you ask me what to do, I don't know.”
“There are always many people who point out the mountains and rivers, but those who know they are not qualified to do so are few.” Zou Xiao smiled, without forcing it, and looked at Qu Shunhua again: “How is your grandfather’s mood lately”
Qu Shunhua was taken aback for a moment, then thought for a while before saying: "As usual, I went to Huangliangtai to cook."
Left Xiaoyan sighed: "It's still him, Qu Jin Kui who will enjoy the good fortune! Forget it, let me lead the way."

He was a decisive man, pulling out a crimson tiger talisman with a flick of his wrist and placing it on the table: "Jingyu, trouble you to go into the palace again and hand this tiger talisman to the emperor. The state has honored the Left clan for three thousand years, and the Left clan has also shed blood on the border! Now that we are facing an unprecedented era, this crimson talisman is the national symbol. Hand it over to the state!"
Jiang Wang was dumbfounded listening beside him.
Xiong Jingyu was taken aback!
She has been enduring a great deal of torment lately. On one hand, she has her elder brother and her natal family, the royal family of Chu. On the other hand, there is her son, the foundation that her husband and deceased son fought for. The entire Huai Guo Gongfu will belong to her son in the future.
The country needs reform, the emperor wants to weaken the powerful families, and she is caught in the middle.
In the past, he often lived alone in Shaoyuan, ignoring worldly affairs. Every day, he would just raise ants and look at flowers. But this year, he has been frequently visiting the palace, wanting to keep abreast of the situation and avoid too intense a conflict—though from history books, it seems unavoidable.
When Jiang Wang came back for dinner, they brought up the emperor's determination. They wanted to take advantage of Zou Xiaoyao's good mood to clarify the situation and avoid escalating the conflict.
She had considered the possibility of her father-in-law supporting the emperor, but she hadn't expected such unwavering and absolute dedication, even handing over military power!

The Red Spears are surely the strongest army in the world!
From the founding of the Great Chu to the present day, it has been the Left family who have been in charge. It can be said that this is the foundation of the Left family, their private army. Placed in any location, it would be military force enough to establish a nation!
Instead, she felt a pang of sympathy.
Please let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
This is Guangshu's future belongings. In the future, when he gets married, fights people... he can't be soft!
"Father," Xiong Jingyu said, her lips pursed. "Isn't this a bit hasty Your brother hasn't even considered... wanting to move against Chi Jie. He saw what Hong Lang and Guang Lie gave."
No one can deny the Left family's contributions, and I believe the emperor won't either. But reform that is not thorough is as good as no reform at all. Today, I will speak plainly. Tomorrow, shall we put on a facade What about those who committed crimes against heaven and tiger-burning (referring to extreme punishments) The Xiang, Zhongli, Han families, and so many other prominent clans are watching us. If we hesitate now, our country will split apart in an instant. Left Xiao declared resolutely: "Our four illustrious families—Left, Qu, Dou, and Wu—share the glory and losses of Chu. The illness of Chu is also the illness of my Left family, the illness of the powerful clans who enjoy national wealth. Today, Your Majesty has made up your mind to cut out the cancer, to fight for supremacy in this world. Would I not serve you"
Jiang Wang originally thought that the reduction of power would cause dissatisfaction from Old Master Zuo, after all, this involved the fundamental interests of the Zuo family. The old Duke was notoriously hot-tempered.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
To everyone's surprise, Zuo Xiao readily accepted! He was even willing to hand over the Chijian!
What a grand and magnanimous heart!
It was then that he remembered.
When the plan was first put forward at Taixu Pavilion, Dou Zhao, who represented the interests of Chu State, cast a vote in favor.
Was that really Dou Zhao's own whim
>
Or did the Four Great Aristocratic Families of Chu already have an awareness of the need for self-reform
At that time, Dou Zhao, as the pride of the Chu family, had already made his stance clear.
Perhaps these years, the many clans of Da Chu have been exploring in various ways, marking only the beginning. The true return of Huang Wei is just the prologue!
The Emperor of Da Chu has been waiting for this moment!
Xiong Jingyu stood up and bowed deeply: "Father is right, it's just that I am too short-sighted...I will enter the palace now."
She picked up the crimson tiger amulet, as if she could feel the blood of her deceased husband and son clinging to it. She clenched it tightly in her hand and hurried away.
Delivering the states to the national government, for both the Zou and Chu states, would be a momentous occasion, shaking the very foundations of their realms and reverberating throughout the land. It was likely the most resounding call to arms preceding Chu's reform movement.
But Zuo Xiao was surprisingly calm.
He smiled at Jiang Wang: "Eat, what are you doing standing there"
"Oh." Jiang Wang obediently ate a few bites of rice, then remembered the main point: "By the way, Grandpa Zou. I want to borrow Zhang Huaxin's channel for a while. Is it convenient now"
“It’s a small matter. Permissions for channels below the prefectural level, Guang Shu can handle it.” Zuo Xiao casually said, “What do you want to do”
Zhang Huaxin's authority is divided into four levels: Tian, Di, Xuan, and Huang. Like Zuo Xiao, he possesses the highest level of authority. In general, any secret of the Chu state that the emperor knows, he also knows.
Jiang Wang said, "On the way here, I saw nine phoenixes flying together, as if heading towards Tiansjue Peak—I want to know the current situation in Jucheng. I have a friend there."
"That's unnecessary to call on the channel again, just ask me." Zuo Xiao said, "Your friend, is 'Huang Jinmo,' right"
“Yes.” Jiang Wang said, “For Brother Zhu, that’s the most important person in the world.”
Zuo Xiao said, "She has already left Ju City."
Jiang Wang thought for a moment: “Then Jucheng…”
Zuo Xiao looked at him: "Are you asking what kind of punishment Jucheng received"
Jiang Wang could never forget that year, when he rushed back and all he found in the ruined city was half a broken gun—there were many powerless moments in life, and this was one he couldn't forget.
“When you do wrong, there is always a price to pay,” Jiang Wang said.
"Even if it's an established field" Zuo Xiao asked.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Even for the most established disciplines," Jiang Wang said.
Zuo Xiao remained noncommittal, simply saying: "Back then, regarding the matter of not redeeming the city, the Mohists have already admitted their fault. It was Mohist magnate Qian Jinhua, who, in order to research the Puppetry of Derivative Dao, pretended to be deceived by Zhuang Gao Xian, using Zhen Chuan's death as a cover to capture Huang Jinmo— this is information that the Mohist faction has openly disclosed."
Jiang Wang had already vaguely guessed the truth. Because Lu Maoguan personally came to apologize, at that time Mo Jia was already very decent in apologizing, but Huang Jinmo refused to take a single step, there must be deeper hidden feelings, it was definitely not as simple as "misunderstanding".
But now that such a truth is truly confirmed, it is inevitable to feel anger.
He couldn't help but ask: "Is there such virtue among the most prestigious academic institutions in the world!"
Zuo Guangshu and Qu Shunhua looked at each other, and in each other's eyes, they saw disdain.
Here is the English translation of your text:

“Bronze doesn’t smell bad, it’s the heart that stinks.” Zuo Guangshu said: “Qian Jinhu is the leader of the顯學. Has he ever thought about how his actions will lead to moral collapse for so many people If the Mohists truly start to only pursue profit from him, he will be beyond redemption!”
Zuo Xiaoping said calmly, "From what I can see, in the current academic world, this kind of mistake is unique to Qian Jin Hua. But whether there are others secretly, and how many, I can't say for sure."
>
What angered young people like Jiang Wang, Zuo Guangshu, and Qu Shunhua was something he had seen too much in his life. An advanced academic field carries more expectations and should naturally have greater responsibilities. But what can be said—even the most noble ideals, when it comes to each individual, are small. Even the most lofty thoughts, when it comes to each individual, are also very complex.

"So, what is the price of being wrong" Jiang Wang asked.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Left Xiaodao: "Qian Jinhua committed suicide to apologize. Now, Lu Maoguan of the Chonggu faction has succeeded as the head. He has completely denied Qian Jinhua's ideology during his tenure and re-established the old rules of the Mo family. The Zuijun Hall is retained as a reminder of the sins of the Mo family, so that the disciples of the Mo family will remember it and be brave to overcome their shame. All the disciples who participated in the interrogation of Huang Jingmo are imprisoned and await Huang Jingmo's accountability. If Huang Jingmo does not have further claims, he will be punished according to the ancient rules of the Mo family."
Lu Maoguan has always been openly opposed to Qian JinHua. The two not only debated ideologically but also occupied opposing sides within the actual Jucheng power structure, almost bringing their conflict to the surface. After Qian JinHua's complete downfall, his actions were unsurprising.
But the fact that Mohist magnates offered their lives as atonement is truly a momentous event—the world today, indeed, is a time of great turmoil. A series of unprecedented events, those rarely seen in a hundred years, are happening all at once during this period.
Despite his notoriety, Qian Jinhua is still the leader of contemporary scholarship. He is comparable to figures like Dezhen from Yujing Mountain School, Hanshutou from Guitiangong, and Chen Pu from Mugu Bookstore.
Given his standing, his death was rather hasty.
Such a person, even if they die for evil, should be the target of everyone's condemnation, with the whole world united to attack and destroy them in a grand and spectacular way. Why did they just quietly commit suicide
Jiang Wang pondered for a moment, then added: "I heard that Huang Wei is already back — do you know where he is now"
At this moment, Zuo Xiao put down his chopsticks, his eyes were full of complexity: "In the Yinxian Forest, there exists a transcendent being. In ancient times, many saints transformed into beings within it, and it is said to be his handiwork. His name remains unknown to this day, and history does not explicitly record him. Huang Wei has awakened him, is observing him, and... is trying to kill him!"
Huang Wei Zhen has returned, has transcended, and is now killing transcendence
