Guanyin predecessors possessed extraordinary insight, yet they rarely listened to their inner voices.

Those who have attained enlightenment in Shintoism, in the first step of their belief in becoming a god, must filter the distractions of their followers...

Though Jiang Wang had cultivated to the level of a Xian with knowledge and experience, seeing the Xian realm of Knowledge and Experience, he could be called a Xian of Knowledge and Experience. However, this should also serve as a lesson for others.

He had only one heart, one person, unable to agree with all the thoughts in the world.

He had only two hands, a sword, and could not control all the affairs of the world.

He has the ears of Avalokitesvara, and now he has developed the Immortal Mind Galaxy, which can truly "observe all beings." But— "Those who care for all living beings will inevitably suffer for them."

Jiang Wang's foot lifted, infinite light and sound interwoven, forming a pure white vessel of perception, carrying him away in a flash.

In a city where hundreds of thousands live, not everyone shines brightly. There are always corners that the sun doesn't reach, and there are always people lying in the gutters.

Usually, human beings have their own path in life.

But miracles happen occasionally.

The stolen purse was returned to its owner; the child-snatcher, bound tightly in chains; and the bandit with a knife found himself with a blade at his own throat....

Suddenly, dozens of people burst into the government office in Hanzhang City, tumbling and rolling everywhere. The guards were startled and quickly drew their swords.

If these people weren't all tied up, helpless and unable to resist, their swords would already be down.

As the largest city in the snow country to open to the outside world, the status of the city lord was clearly elevated. Wang Di, the lord of Hanhua City, is a divine cultivator who governs one side and has always been revered like a god, earning the respect of the court.

At this moment, standing tall in the main hall, though unaware of the preceding events, he remained composed: "Who is the esteemed individual here To intrude upon the government office so brazenly, do you seek to mock the officials of the snow country"

The pure white boat that suddenly descended upon the government office, transformed into countless streams of light, converging into Jiang Wang's eyes. He walked into the government office, threw the two scoundrels he had bound in his hands into the crowd, and without a word, pointed far away - in the void, a small jade axe suddenly fell with a decisive chop.

As in the time of chaos, the axe and chisel shaped the heavens and earth.

Irresistible, inescapable.

Daoist Art: Opening the Sea Jade Axe.

This sword technique was originally created by Master Jiang to split open his opponent's spiritual defenses. Right now, it wasn't used for killing. He wielded the jade axe like he was dancing with a needle, lifting heavy objects as if they were feather-light.

Lord Wang Di, the lord of Hanhua City, had his mind lightly opened, and all sorts of knowledge gathered by living masters throughout the world poured into it.

Their deeds of wickedness, you now know. Hanhua City has its own laws, follow them!

For a moment, Wang Di thought his entire body had been split in two. But after the daze, he was unharmed.

He slowly digested the insights Jiang Wang had given him, opening his mouth to say: “Each of these thirty-one people has their own sins. Since you have seen so clearly, why not measure out the punishment with a blade, severing your flesh and blood To simply go around in circles and throw them into the government office, wouldn't that be redundant”

“As an outsider to the Legalist school, I've only read a few books and still don't understand its principles. But I also know that what maintains stability in a region is an effective legal system, not just a few individuals who happen to be righteous and helpful.”

"Moreover, I have only seen him once and heard a single word from him. What I know is not necessarily the whole truth. The murderer might have been forced to do it, and the victim might not have been innocent. How to determine guilt or innocence depends on you legal experts. You need to clarify the truth, investigate the causes and consequences, and apply your laws to deliver a fair sentence... I am not an official, so I cannot interfere. Lord City Master Wang, I respect Xue Guo's jurisdiction. I do not intend to influence Han Hua City's politics. I'm just an ordinary passerby who cares about the upholding of justice in your city."

Wang Di rose to his feet and bowed, following the steps down: “Master Jiang! Thank you for respecting the laws of Hanhua City. I am even more grateful that you are willing to help my office apprehend criminals and provide clues for punishment. My humble heart has wrongly speculated about the true master, which is truly inappropriate.”

Jiang Wang raised an eyebrow slightly. "Do you know me"

>

At this moment, a man emerged from the back hall: “Sword Immortal of Xingyue Origin, who in the world doesn’t know you!”

Even the criminals on the ground didn't dare to move, and all the guards and clerks in the yamen were silent.

This is the translation of your text:

Jing Guo had repeatedly emphasized that Xingyue was originally a neutral ground, and absolutely did not allow anyone or any force to occupy it.

Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text!

Jiang Wang was indeed a man of his word, and had never attempted to build a power base in Xingyue Yuan. He kept to his twelve-story tavern and never expanded beyond it.

But still, unknowingly, it left its mark. When people mention the Star Moon原, they can't avoid his name. Many have already forgotten that it was once a battlefield where Qi Jing Xiang fought.

The man who came out of the back hall was very handsome, with bright eyes and a sword at his waist. As he walked, he had an extraordinary bearing.

Jiang Wang glanced at him: "Who are you"

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

Lord Wang Di of the Cold Flower City looked at Mr. Yu with surprise: "Mr. Yu, why did you come out"

Then he proactively introduced: "This man's name is Yu Wei. He is my master, and came to Hanhuacheng three years ago. He impressed me with his talent and learning, so I hired him. He has been serving in my mansion ever since. Over the past few years, he has helped me organize the legal system of Hanhuacheng, making it a prosperous and safe city, far surpassing its previous state. This year, I intend to recommend him for a position at court — I apologize if this offends you, Master, please don't take offense."

"I'm not that easily offended." Jiang Wang waved his hand, looking at Yu Wei with a smile that wasn't quite a smile. "With your abilities, being a teacher here seems a bit beneath you, don't you think"

Yu Wili said, "Sir has praised me too highly. A grain of rice's brilliance can only shine if it so chooses; there is no question of being underutilized."

Jiang Wang didn't play coy with him, smiling faintly: "If you want to be humble and conceal your strength and identity, let alone for whatever purpose — then why did you come out to meet me"

In those twenty breaths that covered all the happenings in Hán Huā City, he didn't get any key clues about Xie i. After all, someone of that level had few who were qualified to speak about him. Those idle gossipers, even when they mentioned Xie i's name, only spoke meaningless chatter.

>

But what about useful clues

Apart from those prisoners lying on the ground, this man before us is the only other one.

Yu Wei was silent for a moment, seeming to consider how to answer—this was indeed a question. This True Person Jiang had arrived and laid bare all his experiences; he couldn't hide himself at all, nor did he feel he could conceal himself any longer, so he simply stood up directly. And now, this True Person Jiang was asking him why he stood up.

Why, don't you know

Finally, he said: "Master Jiang's exploration of the law shows his vast knowledge and has benefited me greatly. To realize that the laws of various countries are not the same, and that every place has its own laws, is already a deep understanding of contemporary legal schools... I couldn't help but come to meet him."

“Ha! I’m sure Master Jiang is amused!”

He turned and courteously bowed to Wang Di: "Xianyang Weiyu, today bids farewell to the City Lord."

The Qin Empire, the Wei family of Xianyang!

Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!

This family is extraordinary. Its history dates back to the Middle Ages.

During the Middle Ages, there were extraordinary figures who attempted to transcend worldly limitations. One such individual was Wei Xing, a descendant of the illustrious Wei family of Xianyang. Wei Xing had engaged in debates with Xue Gui, a renowned legalist scholar during the era. The noble lineage of saints and sages has persisted for hundreds of thousands of years, unbroken until present day.

After the advent of the new era in Daoist thought, there emerged a renowned figure known as "Wei Shu". As a direct descendant of Wei Xing, the esteemed sage of antiquity, he followed Qin Taizu Ying Zheng and made significant contributions to the founding and expansion of the Qin dynasty in the western territories. The Wei clan's illustrious lineage was established through this period of history.

Jiang Wang also read the name of Wei Shu in "Qin Lue". As a representative figure of Qin Law, he shines brightly in history.

The Wei clan has been a top-tier family in Qin for generations. The current head of the household is Yi'an Marquis Wei Qiu, who also serves as the master of the Fenque, one of the Ten Warriors of Qin. Wei Yu is the son of Wei Qiu and a renowned talent in Xianyang.

This family background, not to mention in the snowy country, even looking at the world, can be counted among the most famous.

And yet, he was content with solitude, working as a clerk in Han Hua City

“Yu Wei...Wei Yu. What a Wei Yu! The illustrious Qin prodigy, renowned throughout the land, hiding his true identity in our humble Cold Flower City.” Wang Di’s eyes were filled with suspicion: “What is Qin intending to do”

"Lord City Master, please do not misunderstand." Wei Yu said respectfully, "This is purely my personal cultivation and has nothing to do with the Qin State. Wei was idle in his youth, living a life without ups and downs. I indulged in family expectations and considered myself very high above others. Therefore, I wanted to conceal my identity and live a peaceful life, reflecting on myself. Today, the Heavenly Domain's illusory realm connects north and south; news from the east reaches the west as soon as it breaks. It is truly difficult to find a tranquil place. Bound by reputation, I thought long and hard and came to Xue Guo for cultivation..."

He said earnestly: "If Qin State really wanted to do something, they wouldn't send me, Wei Yu. And if I truly wanted to do something, I wouldn't waste three years in Hanhua City, diligently assisting you with governance every day. Don't you think so"

Wang Di said coldly, "Looking back on the past three years, everything is suspicious!"

Wei Yu said: "That's because there is doubt in your heart."

“A prince of a powerful nation, so full of grief.” Wang Di said: “I don’t know which of your words is true.”

I've served as a master for three years, cultivating my skills while helping to govern the Snow Country. If the Snow Country deems this a crime, then you should report me to your superiors and have them arrest me!

“Then don't take it seriously!” Wei Yu impatiently refused to explain further, waving her sleeve: “Wei certain has hidden his name and whereabouts. In Hanhuacheng, he turned to Jiang Wangdao: "Have you finished your business here”

Jiang Wang spread his hands: "I have nothing to do."

"Then let's go, we'll talk outside the city." Wei Yu completely ignored Wang Di's expression and strode away.

Jiang Wang followed behind with his hands in his pockets, looking relaxed and carefree.

>

He naturally wouldn't feel sorry for Wang Di, and whether or not Wang Di was truly wronged is something that can be debated.

>

Even if Qin used an intermediary, it would be impossible for them to use Wei Yu as one.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Someone like Wei Yu wouldn't do something so unbecoming of their status. Their identity would be impossible to hide from the true Snow Country elite. As a teacher in Hanhuacheng, they are probably an open secret to people like Fu Huan and Xie Ai.

From this perspective, Wei Yu is indeed capable of speaking "clearly" and "innocently."

But his three years as a teacher's assistant in the snowy country of Hanhuacheng could certainly imply some possibilities. A certain lavish member of Tai Xuge would definitely be willing to spend a little money for this.

“I don't seem to have ever seen a real person, yet they seem to know me” Flying out of Hán Huā City, walking forward in the vast snow, Wèi Yú directly asked.

Jiang Wangdao: "You mean I came here today with a clear objective"

Wei Yu nodded.

Jiang Wang didn't hide it: "I've been following you."

"Have you been following me" Wei Yu expressed some emotion, her tone strange: "The great Qin Dynasty, with countless talents. In terms of foundation, there's Qin Zhizhen; in terms of talent, Gan Chang'an; in terms of ruthlessness, Huang Budong... What merits or abilities do I have to allow a world-renowned figure like you to pay special attention to me"

Since we're on the topic… I have an old matter I'd like to ask you about. I haven't had the time to visit Qin State, so I put it aside.” Jiang Wang said softly: “My friend Xiang Qian, back when he went west to Qin land, sought you out to discuss swordsmanship. Before the battle, he made it clear that he didn't intend to vie for fame or harm anyone, only to learn about your swordsmanship. You also stated clearly that you wouldn't harbor any resentment. Afterward, Qin Zhi Zhen chased after him and punched Xiang Qian into the Wei River. How do you explain this”

Here is the translated text:

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Wei Yu was taken aback. He hadn't expected that Jiang Wang had been paying attention to him because of this.

This person treats friends really well. Even after so many years, they still care about their friend's feelings and never mentioned it to them before.

“I can’t explain.” Wei Yu said earnestly, “Qin Zhizhen is my friend, and seeing me break my sword, he spontaneously wanted to come to my defense. Although I didn’t know beforehand, after the fact there was no way for me to shirk responsibility. This matter is entirely my fault. Whatever Daoist Jiang wants to do, whether it’s coming to his friend’s defense or letting off steam, I will bear it all.”

If Wei Yu had truly harbored resentment, she wouldn't have been able to live and leave Qin.

>

So, what he said is credible.

Jiang Wang merely nodded slightly: "Since you put it that way, this matter is simple. I'll remember this to Qin Zhizhen, and when the time comes, I'll just strike him down with a single sword."

Wei Yu opened her mouth, but in the end, she said nothing.

At first, Qin Zhizhen approached Xiang Qian with the agreement that if Xiang Qian also rose to the inner court, they would fight again on the same level.

...Whereas Jiang Wang clearly didn't regard Wei Yu as an opponent... and indeed, he lacked the qualifications to be considered so.

Two people walked in the vast snowy field, no longer speaking to each other. They took every step deliberately, leaving footprints behind as if marking their path.

After a while, Wei Yu asked, "Is there anything else that Zhenren Jiang wants to talk to me about"

"Jiang Wangdao, 'The Tai Xu Illusionary Realm was met with obstacles in the Snow Country. I represent the Tai Xu Pavilion to handle this matter. You have stayed in the Snow Country for three years, what advice do you have for me'"

Wei Yu was very puzzled. If Qin Zhizhen represented Taixu Pavilion to Xueluo, Wei Yu would definitely not hesitate and do whatever they asked. Who are you, Jiang Wang Are we familiar

Even if you are a renowned and distinguished figure, this is our first meeting! How can you command us as if we owe you something

But he never asked that, after all.

He simply said, "Can I refuse"

Jiang Wang gave him a smile.

Weiyuyu walked forward in silence.

Jiang Wang added, "But when I put Qin Zhizhen in the river, I can be a little lighter with my hands."

>

Wei Yu said, "Among all the powerful figures in history, none surpassed Qin Ge. Even if you were to try and defeat him with a single sword, it wouldn't be an easy feat."

This is just a test.

Jiang Wang smiled faintly.

Wei Yu turned her head and looked at him, asking, "Master Jiang doesn't believe I came to Hanhua City just for cultivation"

"I don't care. Even if you were to become emperor of the snow country, what does it have to do with me" Jiang Wang said calmly: "I just want to do my own thing and build the Tai Xu Huan Jing well."

Wei Yu fell silent for a moment: "How can I help you"

Jiang Wangping calmly said, "I'm new here and don't know anyone. I have no idea where to start—could you think of ways you could help me"

Wei Yu fell silent once more.

You're forcing me to help and demanding I take the initiative. Where do I even begin to argue

Jiang Wang was very patient, just walking forward almost constantly.

Walking along, Wei Yu spoke up, “As you know, the Lord of Cold Flower City intends to recommend me to the capital. But I can’t truly join the Xue Country, so before you came, I had already planned to leave—and because of this, these past few years I’ve only been in the lowly position of a tutor. The secrets of the Xue Country are impossible for me to access. I haven't even traveled west, only moving around within the three cities that are open to outsiders. I don’t understand the Xue Country.”

Jiang Wang listened quietly as he explained a lot, then said, "Introduce Bingyang City."

Wei Yu casually said, “Bingyang City is garrisoned by the Snow Country General Hong Chengdao. This general is a formidable warrior with exceptional skills, ranking among the best in the entire Snow Country. The city has a garrison of 100,000 troops and is equipped with high-level defensive formations that can withstand attacks from ten breaths of a True Immortal. The city walls are tall and thick, its military defenses are rigorous. Without a True Immortal leading the charge, it would be difficult to breach the city head-on with less than 500,000 troops—Master Jiang, but our destination is Xiejici City.”

"Yes, we're going there now. You can see Xuejic City with your own eyes, so there's no need for further introduction." Jiang Wang said, "Your perspective on Bingyang City... is quite unique."

"I'm used to being in the army," said Wei Yu.

Jiang Wang laughed: "I thought Qin was going to invade Xueguo!"

Wei Yu twitched the corner of her mouth: "How is that possible Not to mention that the Xueguo is powerful and its geography is complex, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack. Our Qin state is located north while Xueguo is in the south, separated by countless other countries! Even if we dispatched troops long distances, even if the Jingguo Yujing Mountain did not interfere, truly taking it... In the foreseeable long period of time, it could only be a detached territory, unable to transport resources to the Qin state, but instead needing continuous support from the Qin state. This does not conform to the national strategy of the Qin state, and it is rather short-sighted."

Jiang Wang had quite a self-assured air about him. You explain yours, I'll talk mine. He rubbed his chin and said, "Are you all planning how to govern"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Before Wei Yu could respond, he suddenly said, "I'm very curious about the war when Emperor Dong ascended. Could you tell me about it"

Wei Yu took a deep breath: “I only came three years ago. By then, the Winter Emperor had already achieved enlightenment.”

Jiang Wang let out a long breath, which condensed into a white rainbow in the sky. In an instant, it spread for thousands of miles, rolling like a sea of clouds, momentarily stopping the snowfall.

Sword qi erupted like a cloud of mist, hanging in the sky.

This was a preemptive announcement to Xuezhi City of Jiang Ge's arrival.

Thus, the barely perceptible glances were cut off.

>

The sword glow was like a grand canopy, laid out in a magnificent spectacle!

Under this grand pavilion, Master Jiang turned his head and looked at Wei Yu. His eyes were calm yet radiant, as if seeing through everything: "Such a momentous event, I don't believe you haven't been paying attention."en them, nothing serious enough to lead to war. What do you think"Jiang Wang had imagined countless times what Du Ruhui would look like, but none of them were like this.Such an unprepared encounter, s...
