Chapter 916 Pulling Away
The old blind man didn't expect that Wu Zhongyuan would leave immediately, and hurriedly tried to dissuade him, "Why is your Majesty so eager? Even if you want to leave, you must explain everything and say goodbye to everyone before leaving."
"No need," Wu Zhongyuan shook his head and said, "It always takes time to say goodbye to everyone, it also takes time to explain state affairs, it also takes time to appease and take into account their emotions, and it also takes time to see my mount and retinue before leaving. If I want the people in the harem and the princes not to worry about me, I have to explain to them more. The previous wars left many people in the clan injured and disabled. It is just a piece of cake with my ability to help their disabled limbs regenerate. But if I really Doing this would also take many days. Furthermore, the formulation of the plan to find Pangu Lingzhu, the consideration and foresight of side issues, and the elimination of various difficulties would also cause me to be seriously distracted, and the time was spent minute by minute. It’s a bit of a waste. If I want to leave, I’ll just leave without telling anyone.”
"The Holy One is right," the old blind man said, "but the Holy One is the king of a country. His sudden departure will inevitably cause suspicion and panic. If the gods and beasts take advantage of the situation, the consequences will be disastrous."
"What do you want me to do?" Wu Zhongyuan asked with a smile, "Can't you tell them? I just said that I can only choose between understanding the golden slips and being a good Yellow Emperor, and you always hope that I can do both. I am so Do you have great abilities? Have you ever thought about what would be the consequences if I failed to understand the profound text? Before, we just made a bet with the Gods, and the participation of the Orcs directly turned the bet into an unprecedented gamble. If the three If we win both games, we can put forward three conditions to the Gods and Orcs respectively. If I can't beat Bai Mu and Su Yang, we will win. Do we dare to put forward conditions that they think are very harsh? What if? What if they regret it?"
Wu Zhongyuan paused briefly here, and then said again, "We cannot place our hopes on others to keep their promises, even if they are indeed likely to fulfill their promises. Let me ask you again, if we all bet on nine games and three games in the future, If you lose, what are the consequences?”
The old blind man lowered his eyebrows and did not answer.
Wu Zhongyuan said, "If we lose, we need to agree to the conditions proposed by the Gods and Orcs. If my cultivation level is higher than theirs, they will not dare to make overly demanding demands even if they win, but if I surrender to them Can't help it, once we lose, we need to accept any conditions they propose. Don't forget, I made the bet. If I lose, I will be a sinner through the ages. At that time, I will suffer humiliation and the inferior tribesmen will kill everyone. Put the blame on me, blame me, slander me, and spurn me. At that time, no one will think that the bet I made with the gods and beasts was to take into account the overall situation, because the human race, which had been tortured by the war, no longer had the ability to fight with the gods. The protoss and the orcs are engaged in a long-lasting confrontation and melee."
This was the first time the old blind man heard similar words from Wu Zhongyuan. When he thought about it carefully, what Wu Zhongyuan said was indeed the truth. Wu Zhongyuan was the backbone of the human race, and everyone relied on him. However, this backbone must be removed at this time, because there are more people. Important things are waiting for him to do.
"When will Your Majesty prepare to set off?" the old blind man asked in a deep voice.
Wu Zhongyuan picked up the teacup and took a sip of water.
"Do you have anything else to ask? If not, send me away now."
"When will the Holy One return?" the old blind man asked.
"The day of enlightenment." Wu Zhongyuan answered.
"Where will Wei Chen and the others pick up?" the old blind man asked.
"I don't need you to greet me, I will come back by myself." Wu Zhongyuan shook his head.
The old blind man didn't understand what Wu Zhongyuan meant, "Wei Chen can send the Holy One away from here, but if he wants to take the Holy One back to the court, Wei Chen must go and greet him."
Wu Zhongyuan said, "If I succeed in understanding the mysterious text of the gold slips, I can transcend the three-yuan cultivation level, past and present, and come and go freely."
The old blind man didn't answer, but the expression on his face revealed what he wanted to say, that is, what would happen if he didn't realize the truth.
"Sir, you have to believe me." Wu Zhongyuan said seriously.
The old blind man nodded slowly.
Wu Zhongyuan said again, "Don't send people to pick me up. I can't leave a way out for myself. As long as I know there is a way out, I won't be able to enter the state of mind and state needed to understand the profound text on the gold slips."
The old blind man hesitated for a long time and nodded slowly.
"You can tell everyone that I went on a long journey, but don't tell anyone where I went, including the concubines in the harem, and don't try to send someone to pick me back," Wu Zhongyuan raised his voice at this point, "This is my will. "
Upon hearing this, the old blind man stood up quickly, bent down and cupped his hands, and said seriously, "I will obey the Holy Order."
"Send me away." Wu Zhongyuan stood up.
"Your Majesty, please slow down for a moment. I have something to say," the old blind man said.
Wu Zhongyuan tilted his head and looked at him.
Wu Zhongyuan originally thought that the old blind man would ask about state arrangements, but he never thought that the old blind man did not ask about state affairs, but said, "Your Majesty, I'm sorry for my ignorance, but I still don't understand why you have to leave."
Wu Zhongyuan replied, "On the first day of the Lunar New Year, I traveled around with Queen Wang, and I suddenly realized that later generations have said that they don't know the true face of Mount Lu just because they are in this mountain. Some people in the authorities are also confused, but bystanders can clearly say that here I am. There are many things about the authorities in this mountain that I cannot see clearly. I can only leave this mountain and leave this situation, and then I can see through the clouds and see the sun clearly, and see my true nature clearly."
Wu Zhongyuan's words were clear and logical, and the old blind man suddenly understood, "Holy Ming Rui, I am afraid that you will never find anyone you can confide in in future generations. Before you leave, do you have anything else to say to your humble ministers?"
Wu Zhongyuan thought for a while and said, "Three-yuan cultivation is almost the ultimate level of Qi training. To improve the level no longer depends on the accumulation of spiritual energy, but on the cognition and understanding of the Yin and Yang universe, and all things in the world. People can only change what they understand, so I want to broaden my horizons, increase my knowledge, start from the various aspects of sentient beings, trace back to their origins, find out the laws of heaven, and understand the essence of life."
The old blind man did not answer, but understood the meaning of Wu Zhongyuan's words in his heart.
Wu Zhongyuan added, "If you want to get something you have never got, you have to do something you have never done. You can't live without the care of your relatives and friends, but you can't be deeply concerned about them either. If I leave you completely, I should be able to do better." I’m about to realize it, but I can’t let you go, so I can only choose to leave temporarily, forcing myself to a dead end, leaving me worried but helpless. I have the obsession to return, but also have to concentrate on peace.”
"Wei Chen understands." The old blind man sighed longly. Although he was not present when the incident happened on Xinyue Island, he heard people talk about the situation afterwards. Just as Bai Mu said to Wu Zhongyuan that day, in fact, the God Clan is now the Wu Zhongyuan's clan members, because Wu Zhongyuan is already a god and not a human being, chose to stay in the human race just because he has concerns in his heart. The courtiers including the concubine and him are Wu Zhongyuan's concerns, and caring about everyone is also a concern for Wu Zhongyuan. A powerful and invisible shackle drags him firmly in the busy and trivial state affairs and official duties. You must know that distraction is a taboo for enlightenment. In order to make a breakthrough before the gambling battle begins, Wu Zhongyuan can only choose to temporarily leave.
"You should do whatever you want while I'm gone," Wu Zhongyuan said. "You don't have to be overly showy or deliberately restrained. As long as I'm still alive, the gods and beasts will not attack the human race."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty." The old blind man nodded heavily.
Wu Zhongyuan's thoughts flashed, he concealed his dragon robe and changed into modern clothes, "Okay, send me away."
The old blind man hesitated and found it difficult to make up his mind.
Wu Zhongyuan smiled and said, "I will leave sooner or later. You must get used to life without me."
Older people tend to be more calm and less easily moved, but Wu Zhongyuan's words made the old blind man secretly sad, "You must take extra care when you go here."
"Don't worry, I am also a powerful existence in modern times," Wu Zhongyuan said, "What's more, I am just watching with a cold eye, not alone on the expedition."
Hearing what Wu Zhongyuan said, the old blind man felt relieved. Wu Zhongyuan had repaired his damaged meridians before. At this time, he possessed the purple energy cultivation level, and he was the only bear clan other than Wu Zhongyuan and Wu Di who could use the teleportation technique. The wizard has the ability to send Wu Zhongyuan away.
Worried that his too high level of cultivation would hinder the old blind man's spellcasting, Wu Zhongyuan collected his spiritual energy and stood sideways, "Let's get started."
Although the old blind man had been mentally prepared, he still had to hesitate when the matter came. "Is this trip too hasty, Your Majesty? We need to think about it in the long term."
Wu Zhongyuan frowned and looked sideways, but did not answer.
"If you cannot understand the Great Way, you will not be able to return. This trip may be a road of no return." The old blind man expressed his worries.
Wu Zhongyuan's face was expressionless.
Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan had made up his mind, the old blind man was extremely worried and did not dare to hesitate any longer. He kneaded the secret and recited the incantation, turned sideways and raised his hand, and performed the instant teleportation.
It was around 12 o'clock at noon. Wu Zhongyuan appeared on the outskirts of the city. Not far away were towns and villages. Since today was the fifth day of the first lunar month, the feeling of the New Year had not completely dissipated, and sporadic firecrackers could still be heard occasionally.
There is a modern curse word that calls thieves in Shandong and thieves in Henan. This is actually a very vicious word. In fact, the origin of Chinese civilization is in Henan, and the folk customs in Henan are also very simple.
There was a wheat field under his feet. Wu Zhongyuan pulled out a wheat seedling and held it in his hand to look at it carefully. The world has two appearances, one is what it really looks like, and the other is what it looks like to the world. Even if it is the same The same thing looks different in the eyes of different people. He came back this time not to visit relatives, nor to return to his hometown, nor to show off his power, but to see the essence through the phenomenon. The more people there are, the more things will happen. The more there are, the more thoroughly human nature is exposed.
Human beings are the primates of all things. Through the observation of human nature, we can trace back the essence of life. Only by understanding the essence of life can we gain a glimpse of the Yin and Yang of heaven.
After looking around, Wu Zhongyuan walked towards the village not far away, and his observation began in the countryside...
