The sun rises in the east.
The morning light falls on the earth, dispelling the chill of darkness.
In the palace, the Xuanwu Gate is wide open, and the Imperial Guards are coming and going. It is a new day, and everyone is performing their duties.
In Shouan Hall, the servants gathered outside the hall and were all driven out.
A famous palace maid and a young eunuch stood there, looking at each other from time to time, with somewhat nervous expressions on their faces.
News in the palace always spread very quickly, and no one who can work in the palace and still survive to this day is not a human spirit. Everyone knows that it is definitely not a good thing for the Shang Emperor to summon the legitimate son of the Li family to the palace.
Today, the Li family and the royal family are almost incompatible with each other. The reason why they haven't broken up yet is because both sides have their own concerns.
The great merchants were surrounded by foreign enemies and could not withstand large-scale civil strife. Although the Li family was rich and powerful, it was still too weak to compete with the powerful weapons of the country.
Checks and balances are the only way and the only result.
While the servants were waiting nervously, the atmosphere in Shou'an Hall was also very heavy.
Taishang appeared, a Taoist sage who had lived for more than a thousand years. His majesty alone made Hibiscus in the hall so frightened that he could not breathe, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.
Next to Hibiscus, Li Ziye stood quietly, reaching out and putting his hand on the shoulder of the woman next to him. His blazing eyes stared at Tai Shang in front of him, without any fear or flinching.
How could Ziye, the Li family who had never bowed before the gods or before life and death, show cowardice to an old man who was so decrepit.
On the side, Hibiscus felt the warmth coming from her shoulders. The fear in her heart gradually subsided, and her body no longer trembled so much.
"Aren't you afraid of me?"
Tai Shang noticed the look in the young man's eyes, a strange color flashed in his old eyes, and asked.
"Why should you be afraid? The old man is kind, so how can the younger generation be afraid." Li Ziye replied calmly.
"kind?"
Tai Shang smiled slightly and said, "In these years, you are the first to comment on an old person like this. Young man from the Li family, I heard that you went to the land of extreme night. How about you? How do you feel about fighting the gods?"
"Nothing." Li Ziye responded calmly.
"Nothing, haha."
Hearing this, Taishang couldn't help laughing any longer and said happily, "Yes, I like this arrogance. Bullshit gods, since they have come to the world, they should kneel down properly. Our human race, for thousands of generations, has risen in Wei Mo, everything is achieved by fighting with your own hands, why do you need to bend the knee to other people!"
On the side, Emperor Shang frowned involuntarily when he saw the rare smile on his ancestor's face.
Li Ziye looked at the arrogant laughter of the Taoist sages in front of him, but there was no joy in his heart.
Daomen has always been arrogant, which is engraved in his bones. Similarly, arrogance and stubbornness can often be equated.
To a certain extent, they are the same type of people. If they have the same ideas, it's okay. If they have opposite ideas, it is impossible to convince each other. Life or death is the only outcome.
"Why is this girl still kneeling? Get up."
After laughing a few times, Taishang noticed the hibiscus tree next to the boy from the Li family in front of him, and said meaningfully, "A man has gold at his knees, and so does a woman. Don't bend your knees to others easily. In this regard, daughter, you You should learn from the boys around you."
Hibiscus trembled, suppressing the fear in her heart, and stood up.
"Girl, where is Wenqing?"
Tai Shang looked at the girl in front of him and said seriously, "I know that you have been following him for many years. I will only believe the answer you tell me yourself."
"My lord, I'm dead." Hibiscus's eyes darkened slightly and she replied.
When Taishang heard this, his expression darkened, and he continued to ask, "Where is the body?"
When Mu Jin heard the old man's question in front of her, she raised her head and answered word by word, "Between heaven and earth!"
Taishang's face immediately turned cold and he said in a deep voice, "Ignoring the overall situation, you are stupid!"
“What’s the big picture?”
Li Ziye took half a step forward, blocked in front of Hibiscus, and said calmly, "Old man, only those who are like-minded can achieve unity, and only those who are willing can walk together. The prince has the faith of the prince. If a man establishes himself in the world and returns to the world, why not?"
Taishang's eyes returned to the Li family's legitimate son in front of him, and he said coldly, "This is such a time, what else should we pay attention to? As the helm of the Li family, don't you understand that one general can achieve the goal of killing thousands of bones?" Is it true? A woman’s kindness will only cause trouble."
"In the Li family, like-minded people have always walked together."
Li Ziye said calmly, "If we don't share the same ideals, staying will only seem to be in harmony with each other. The Li family doesn't need such people."
"You are just like Confucius, a woman of kindness!"
Tai Shang reprimanded him coldly, "As a person who has received destiny, how can you focus on the gains and losses of one person, a hundred people, or a thousand people?"
"Being ruthless does not necessarily mean you are a hero. How can you be a pity for a child without being a husband? I admit that doing great things will inevitably involve sacrifices, but everything must be done in moderation."
Li Ziye said tit for tat, "As the saying goes, those who wish will go together. Before others put their lives in your hands, the old man has no right to decide the fate of others."
"It's a joke. Do you still have to ask everyone in the world if they are willing to go with me?"
Tai Shang sneered, "Your idea is too naive."
"Why not?"
Li Ziye said with a serious look, "The Taoist sect a thousand years ago and the Confucian sect a thousand years later, aren't they all like-minded travelers? Isn't it because the Confucian leader founded the Confucian sect and taught the world to win more people who are traveling with him? The reason why Dao Sect was able to win thousands of years ago was because like-minded people supported each other."
At this point, Li Ziye changed his tone and asked, "Old man, when did you start to set your sights on those mediocre people you were unwilling to take a look at? It's because your fellow travelers passed away. Are you starting to feel powerless?"
When Tai Shang heard this, he was shaken violently.
That's right, since when did he sink to the point where he began to force those idiots to go with him?
"This time we go north to fight against the God of Light, Shaoyan also went there."
Li Ziye continued with a calm expression, "The young master of the Taoist sect is still as unruly and unruly, with no limits. He has not changed in any way for thousands of years. From the beginning to the end, he has never mentioned anything about all living beings in the world. Old man, in the cold winter It’s just a calamity, what are you so anxious about? The path of sentient beings can be left to them to walk on their own, so what if it fails in the end, you have no obligation to save the world, and similarly, you have no right to make decisions for all sentient beings.”
At the end of the sentence, Li Ziye couldn't help but cursed in his heart.
His uncle, he said a lot of stuff.
Damn old man, if I couldn't beat you, I wouldn't be in the mood to talk nonsense with you. Little Red Riding Hood is still waiting for me to save you!
