When it comes to Su Yao in "The Legend of the Paladin Sword And Heroes IV", I am afraid that it is difficult to have too much good feelings for her.
As the leader of the Qionghua Sect, she was jealous of Xianxian's ability and had no tolerance, and secretly conspired with Xuan Xiao to use the double sword net to bind the demon world and plan the Qionghua Ascension Incident, which eventually led to the destruction of the Qionghua Sect and the tragedy of Han Lingsha.
Although Xuan Xiao bore the main responsibility for this tragedy, Su Yao, as a helper, has not been less blinded by players for so many years.
It is also strange to say that in the face of such a "quasi-villain BOSS", for some reason, he still can't hate it.
After revisiting the game of many weeks, looking back on the life of this woman, and then thinking carefully about the story behind her, I even felt chills, which made people can't help but inhale a cold breath.
The Qionghua Sect, like most of the Xiuxian Sect, was an isolated and closed area. The game also shows players through the "Taiyi Immortal Trail" how difficult it is for ordinary people to enter the Qionghua Sect.
In such a closed system, the Qionghua Sect also formed a collective goal that all generations of disciples wanted to achieve, that is, to enter the nine days and cultivate into immortals.
In the world of the Immortal Sword, cultivating immortals was a perfectly normal thing. Which of the Shushan Sect, the Xianxia Sect, or the Penglai Sect is not the Xiuxian Sect? If you don't cultivate immortals, then why did I go to such great lengths to join your sect?
However, such a seemingly ordinary goal began to deviate during the period when the twentieth generation of the Qionghua Sect leader Dao Yin Zhenren was in charge.
Dao Yin Zhenren created a shortcut to cultivating immortals, that is, using the double sword to tie down the illusion world net that appeared only once every nineteen years, and absorbing the crystals of the demon world to achieve the purpose of rapid ascension. His idea of soaring in lust also laid the groundwork for the future demise of the Qionghua Sect.
Later, the Taiqing Zhenren inherited this idea of his and led the Qionghua Sect and the Demon Realm into a fierce battle.
This great battle was extremely cruel, both sides suffered heavy losses, only two of the six great generals of the Illusory Nether Realm died, the Queen of Chanyu was severely damaged, and the young lord Liu Mengli was exiled to the human world.
Of course, the Qionghua Sect did not go anywhere, taiqing zhenren and the eldest disciple Xuan Zhen were directly killed in battle, the two elders of Chongguang and Qingyang retreated, Xuan Xiao went into the demon body, and Yu Yu and Yun Tianqing even betrayed the division with the Wangshu sword...
It was also under the background of the loss of the elite in such a faction that Su Yao, who had mediocre qualifications, was fortunate to become the new head of the Qionghua Sect.
Facing the position of the leader who had fallen from the sky, Su Yao was very stable, at least the Qionghua Sect was running very well on the surface. As a female disciple who was not too outstanding, Su Yao's ascension to the throne was bound to not convince many people, so she took three ways to stabilize the situation.
The first is that she secretly suppressed the rising star of the Qionghua faction, the most typical example is Murong Ziying, with his talent, he should have been promoted a long time ago, but he could not be reused, because Su Yao was jealous of Xian's ability and worried that Ziying would affect his position.
In addition, the disciples with different ideas in the sect were also ostracized, even Yu Xin, who had a very good relationship with her, and a large number of outstanding disciples fled.
Secondly, Su Yao formulated stricter door rules than the previous generation, using vigorous means to govern the Qionghua Sect, binding all Qionghua Sect disciples under the same behavioral framework, and any behavior that went out of line would be punished by the door rules. The disciples in the door trembled in front of her, and no one dared to challenge her authority.
Finally, and most importantly, Su Yao undertook the concept of Dao Yin and Tai Qing, carried forward the cause of ascension, and even went further, and made a big move of the Qionghua sect to ascend.
Behind such a seemingly quick and quick-to-make move, it also reflects the uneasiness in her heart, after all, this position of leadership has come too easily, and since ancient times, it is always easy to lose what is easy to get, and the only way to think about it is to use the very tempting goal of "lifting the pie to ascend" to maintain the temporary cohesion of the whole faction.
Through the above three means of governing the Qionghua Sect, it is not difficult to see that Su Yao is a woman with quite a skill, and has a sense of Wu Zetian's vision. In fact, the name of the character of Su Yao itself is full of profound meaning, and the word "Yao" alludes to "Yaochi Golden Mother", which is also known as the Queen Mother Niangniang.
What the Queen Mother represents in mythological novels, I don't need to say more about it, in short, it is a very strong image.
Relying on such an iron fist, the Qionghua Sect was at least superficially well-organized by Su Yao, but as a negative impact, most of the disciples in the sect, except for a few people such as Ziying, Huai Shuo, and Xuan Jie, were mediocre and snobbish people, which also laid hidden dangers for Su Yao's future loss of power.
Seeing this, you may take a breath of cold air, what is it that makes such an ordinary woman as Su Yao achieve this level. In fact, this question also applies to Xuan Xiao, what exactly made him make a crazy move to pull the Qionghua Faction up.
This is the "ascension obsession" of the Qionghua Sect that the author has mentioned more than once in many previous articles. Because of this "soaring obsession", Su Yao could even put down his body and cooperate with Xuan Xiao. It should be known that the reason why Xuan Xiao was frozen for nineteen years was also planned by Su Yao.
In the face of such a dangerous person who hated and despised herself, Su Yao was willing to let him out and cooperate with him, indicating that her personal selfishness did not override the common interests of the Qionghua sect system, which was no exception for a madman like Xuan Xiao.
Under the influence of the obsession of ascension in the past generations, the Qionghua Sect at this time is no longer the Qionghua Sect, but a large -- "ascension machine", as an important driving force of this machine, the crisis faced by Su Yao is also reflected.
I don't know if you remember such a scene, Xuan Xiao wanted to give the Water Spirit Pearl to Tianhe for them, Su Yao stepped forward to stop it, but was slapped to the ground by Xuan Xiao.
At that time, when the game was carried out here, he was addicted to it, and even applauded Xuan Xiao, because he had already seen that Yu Yao was not happy, and Xuan Xiao did a very relieved thing.
However, when I revisited the game to see this scene again, I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart, knowing that Su Yao, as the leader of the Tangtang sect, did not know how many means were exhausted in order to establish his own majestic image, but now he was slapped by Xuan Xiao in front of all the Qionghua disciples present.
For the arrogant Su Yao, this slap undoubtedly destroyed all her dignity, but what shocked her even more was that none of the people present except Xuan Jie actually stood out for her.
These disciples had either been dissatisfied with her for a long time, or feared Xuanxiao's power, no matter what the reason was, at this time, the Qionghua Sect had completely deteriorated, that is, they were subject to the obscenity of the powerful.
To sum it up simply, it doesn't matter who listens to whom, as for who is in charge, as long as you can lead everyone to the immortal path and soar in the daytime. It doesn't matter if the drive of the machine is broken, just replace it with a new one.
After the Qionghua pie this ascending machine is started, it is the same no matter who is in charge, because in the end it will walk on the same path. In the system formed by the Qionghua Sect for thousands of years, Su Yao seemed so insignificant.
Perhaps this slap woke up half of Su Yao, so when the nine days of the game ended the nine days after the niece said the sixteen-character proverb to Su Yao, her other half also woke up.
In the end, Su Yao was the first of all the Qionghua Sect to admit her mistake voluntarily, and she knelt down again. This was the second time she knelt down in the game, the first time was knocked to the ground by Xuan Xiao, and the second time was to kneel in front of the Nine Heavenly Maidens.
After these two kneelings, the once unruly, majestic and solemn leader instantly lost all the shackles on his body, and returned to her ordinary essence like a little woman.
Looking at the Nine Heavenly Divine Maidens high above, and then looking at Su Yao creeping in front of her, she couldn't help but smile dumbly, it turned out that from the beginning to the end, everyone was just a little person!
