"Tai Shang."
In the royal ancestral hall, Confucius looked at his old friend in front of him and said seriously, "Do you know that there is a Li family in the world now?"
"Know."
Tai Shang nodded and said, "The merchant family that has risen in just a dozen years has become as rich as any country. Li Ziye, the direct son of the Li family, once had his name engraved in the Book of Heaven. He is also the son of destiny and the savior of the world."
"Yes, that boy from the Li family once said something that I still remember deeply."
Confucius said with a serious look, "Manpower is limited, and no matter how powerful a person is, it is impossible to solve everything by himself. That's why it is so important for everyone to perform their own duties. The Li family can rise rapidly in just a dozen years. Because everyone in the Li family only does what they are good at and never interferes in areas they are not good at, that little guy calls it, specialization in the arts."
At this point, Confucius paused and continued, "Similarly, the old man can't solve the problem of the extreme night and cold winter, but it doesn't mean that others can't. We must learn to trust others and pass on the hope. As long as we hold on to hope, we will eventually succeed. One day, future generations will step forward and lead the human race towards the light."
"Boring ideas, baseless trust."
Taishang looked indifferent and said, "The extreme night and winter are approaching, how do you keep hope? If no one has found a solution to the extreme night and winter when hope is shattered, won't the entire human race have to be buried with you for your so-called trust? "
"I will do my best to keep this hope alive."
Confucius said in a deep voice, "Tai Shang, stop it. What you have done is equivalent to pushing all human beings into hell. Even if they survive the cold winter in this way, they will never be able to climb out of hell." It doesn’t make any sense to go out and survive the cold winter like this.”
"Confucius, have you ever experienced despair?"
Taishang looked at the sunshine outside and said calmly, "Thousands of years ago, the gods were in chaos. The Taoist sect tried its best to prevent the gods from causing chaos. Have you experienced it yourself? Hope? Hope is made by us with our fists and with blood. The bones were laid out thousands of years ago. If we were like you and placed our hopes on others, today's human race would have become livestock under the servitude of the gods."
After hearing the words, Confucius fell silent for a long time and said softly, "No one can deny the achievements of the Taoist sect. However, the catastrophe of the extreme night and cold winter is different from the chaos of the gods for thousands of years. Your method is too extreme. It will If all races become Hades, there will be no turning back. It is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to withstand the poison of immortality. You should know this very well."
"so what?"
Taishang sneered and said, "Everyone in the world has to bear the corresponding price after receiving the favor of the Taoist sect. In order to save the world, the Taoist sect has cut off its inheritance. Now, only the old man is left. I don't have much energy to think of a perfect plan." , now this method is the only way to save the world. As for the subsequent troubles, it is not the old man's business. By the way, didn't you choose a son of destiny? If he can find a way to restore the sanity of the underworld, the old man will Many thanks."
"Tai Shang!"
Kong Qiu's expression darkened, he clenched his hands and said in a deep voice, "It is irreversible that Netherland has lost its mind. As the creator of Netherland, it is impossible for you not to know that what the human race needs is hope, not a man who is all evil. Hell of ghosts.”
"Different road non-phase plan."
Taishang withdrew his distant gaze and said with an indifferent expression, "Old friend, I can't convince you, and you can't convince me. Let's continue doing things according to our own ideas without interfering with each other. The quarter of an hour is coming, you It’s time to go out.”
"There's still some time."
Kong Qiu's face turned cold, and he looked at his old friend in front of him, and then at the Jiuding in the depths of the ancestral hall, with a murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
"What, do you want to take action?"
Taishang smiled coldly and said, "Think carefully, this is the Great Shang Palace, blessed by the Nine Cauldrons and Thousand Years of Luck. It will not be easy for you to kill me, unless you don't want to save your strength. Continue to delay the arrival of the polar night and winter."
After listening to the words of the old friend in front of him, Kong Qiu's murderous intent gradually faded away, and he said regretfully, "I almost forgot that you are also in the underworld. It is indeed not easy to kill you."
"Then go back."
Taishang said calmly, "Before the extreme night and cold winter, if you find another way to save the world, you can come and tell me. When the time comes, you want to kill me, and I don't resist. You and I will fall together, and we will be together on the road." I have a companion.”
"Can."
Confucius responded, then turned and left.
In the ancestral hall, Taishang looked at the former's leaving figure, opened his mouth, but swallowed the words that came to his lips.
That’s all.
There is nothing more to say.
Outside the ancestral hall, Confucius walked out, glanced at the Shang Emperor who was waiting outside, and said calmly, "Your Majesty, I will go back first."
"Confucian leader, walk slowly."
Emperor Shang responded without any further reservations.
Confucius nodded and walked away.
In front of the ancestral hall, Emperor Shang turned around and looked at the ancestor in the ancestral hall in front of him, his eyes narrowed slightly.
I don’t know what the ancestors and Confucian capital said.
"Your Highness, the Li family boy, it's time to go back."
On the way out of the palace, Confucius said while walking.
In Weiyang Palace, Mu Bai immediately stood up and walked outside after hearing the message from the Confucian leader.
At the same time, in Tingyuxuan, Li Ziye heard the Confucian leader's reminder and stood up. He looked at Prince Wen in front of him and said goodbye, "Your Majesty, I have to leave."
Across the tea table, Mu Wenqing was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized what was going on. With a look of regret on his face, he said reluctantly, "So soon, I still have a lot to say to Professor Li."
A thousand cups are too little to drink with a close friend, and this Professor Li is very suitable for him. There are too many idiots in the world, and it is not easy to find someone who can talk to him.
"There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
Li Ziye said something, bowed his hands and bowed respectfully, then turned and left.
"Hibiscus."
In the room, Mu Wenqing looked at the departing figure of the Li family's legitimate son and asked, "What's your impression of Professor Li?"
"Unfathomable."
Hibiscus sat up straight and answered truthfully, "Far beyond what the world knows."
"This is the true appearance of the leader of the Li family."
Mu Wenqing said calmly, "He spent twenty years to establish a deep-rooted image of a good-for-nothing for the world. Therefore, even if he defeated the Suzaku Saint, it would be difficult for the world to change their prejudices for a while. This is why he What I like to hear is that I dare to say that until now, more than 90% of the people in this capital have not seen that the real leader of the Li family is this Li Jiaoxi."
It's powerful and terrifying.
“Genius is on the left, madness is on the right.”
In front of the Fengtian Palace, Li Ziye listened to the information brought back by the Confucian leader, and said with a cold look on his lips, "The Taoist sect is still the same Taoist sect, and they are all madmen!"
Tai Shang is still the same Tai Shang.
Proud, domineering, and unscrupulous to achieve his goals.
It was the same a thousand years ago, and it will be the same a thousand years later.
What has changed is not Tai Shang, but this human world.
