"A Confucian or a Demon?"
Cao Changqing was stunned and began to chew on this question carefully.
After a while, he raised his head again, and his scholarly spirit and awe-inspiring righteousness all turned into the heroic spirit of the world, and then spewed out into loud laughter: "Of course it is up to me to decide whether I am a Confucian or a devil. Is it anyone else's turn to point fingers? Even if they are worthy of it?!"
"Hahaha--"
Chi Yao also touched his palms and smiled, "Well said! This is how Cao Qingyi, who is one man against the country, should look like!"
From this laughter, he already understood Cao Changqing's choice, and naturally he would not continue to say things like "If others say you are a devil, you better really be one." People who can consistently stick to their own path are always worthy of admiration.
The laughter died down.
Cao Changqing picked up the wine cup on the table and took a sip: "Although I will not turn to the devil, there is still room for cooperation between the two of us."
"oh?"
Chi Yao pretended to be surprised, "Now we have provoked many big forces including Longhu Mountain, King Guangling, and the Xuanyuan family. What benefits can you get from cooperating with us?"
"snort,"
Cao Qingyi rolled his sleeves disdainfully and said, "As long as someone goes against the Liyang Zhao family, I will help to some extent. Let's not talk about Longhu Mountain for now, but Zhao Yi, if he really causes emptiness inside the Great Phoenix City because of his dealing with you, , it’s impossible to say that his feudal prince’s head will be passed on to Shoujiubian before his brother!”
"Hahahaha - good!"
Chi Yao laughed loudly, appreciating Cao Changqing's straightforward words. "Actually, after calculation, there are only a few helpers that Longhu Mountain can find. Except for King Guangling and Huishan Xuanyuan, among the top forces, there are at most Plus a Dongyue Sword Pool. Tai'an City may also send Zhao Gou to do some small tricks secretly... Even the six sects can't get together, what can they do to me?"
"Brother Chi is so courageous."
Cao Changqing cupped his hands. Although he himself was an enemy of Li Yang, due to his elusive whereabouts, except for Zhao Gou who followed him everywhere, he had never been besieged by an enemy of this scale. Even the strongest lineup encountered after entering Tai'an City three times cannot compare to the combination of the five major forces mentioned above. After all, he is the attacker and always has the initiative.
But Chi Yao is different. Since he considers himself the master of Zhulu Mountain, he must not lose this foundation unless absolutely necessary. Without any room for maneuver, we can only fight head-on.
Thus……
"Zhao Gou can be left to me. They have been chasing me for many years. It's time for them to know who is the prey and who is the hunter. But are you sure about the others?"
They teased Emperor Liyang together and formed a temporary alliance. After the relationship was completely different, Cao Changqing asked more deeply.
In fact, in the past twenty years, Cao Changqing has been called the loneliest person in the world.
This loneliness is not only because he has lost his homeland of Xichu, but also because he has lost the woman he cherishes most. The old sword god Li Chungang also had the same experience, and the previous generation of demon sect leader Liu Songtao also experienced it.
But the problem is that after Li Chungang lost his green robe, he became decadent and hid in the Tide Tide Pavilion for decades without moving. The same goes for Liu Songtao. He killed everyone to avenge his beloved, but later he couldn't defeat the dragon. After using the immortal methods invited by Hushan, he returned to Buddhism in the Western Regions and practiced the Four Elements in vain.
Only Cao Changqing still persisted, risking his life and doing his best for something that almost everyone in the world thought was impossible.
His purpose of assassinating Liyang officials and the Zhao emperor was not just to kill and take revenge, but to cause chaos in Liyang so that Western Chu could have a chance to recover.
But in fact, turning the tide from the fall is already a great undertaking that even the sages find difficult to accomplish. When the storm has passed and the overall situation has been decided long ago, and if you want to return to the old outlook after the vicissitudes of life, how can it be done by human beings?
Cao Changqing's reputation in the world and among the people mostly stems from the fact that he entered the palace three times and escaped unscathed. But in the eyes of those who are regarded as superiors by ordinary people, his belief in not being afraid of hardships and doing what he knows is impossible is even more worthy of admiration and praise.
And he's very smart.
After Li Yang Ding Ding Central Plains, it can be said that 80% of the forces in the court actually have various connections with this dynasty. However, Cao Changqing did not spread his revenge attack, but focused closely on the Zhao royal family. To target.
This is the key to allowing him to gain a reputation in the world despite his rebellious nature.
If he had been like Liu Songtao when he went crazy and ran out to kill anyone at will, he would have been surrounded and suppressed by the Liyang royal family and various famous and decent people in the world.
But just like now, the target is focused on the royal family, and even the emperor himself, and does not affect others indiscriminately. The emperor could only send his own forces to fight, and had no excuse to ask everyone to "shoulder together."
So this time, Cao Changqing only said that he would hand over Zhao Gou to him, and promised to go to the Great Phoenix City if there was a chance, instead of choosing to deal with the Xuanyuan family, which was obviously weaker.
Chi Yao was not too surprised by Cao Changqing's choice. If the other party really promised to fight against Longhu Mountain with him, he would have to doubt whether this guy had any conspiracy.
Friendship is not that great.
Just like Cao Changqing said, he just wanted to help those who were against the Liyang Zhao family, instead of working for them.
Before he actually achieved his goal, he was very careful with his life.
"Thank you very much."
Chi Yao toasted a glass of wine, "If I were to fight in the field and face the encirclement and suppression of these forces, I would probably have no choice but to flee in panic. The best I could do was to ensure that I would not die. But if they came to Zhulu Mountain... the situation would be completely different. "
What the Gu Master is best at is setting up the battlefield in advance, not to mention that this is the ancient Zhuolu battlefield, and the feng shui weather is very consistent with Chi Yao. Here he is a serious land god! Unless the other side can find a true descendant of the Yellow Emperor whose bloodline is closer than his, otherwise...
And if the enemy doesn't have the ability to uproot the entire Zhulu Mountain Range, he will always be in an invincible position!
No matter how hard it is, no one in this world can defeat him.
But there is no need to explain these to Cao Changqing in detail, just express a confident attitude.
Cao Changqing is not a person who knows how to get to the bottom of things. Seeing that Chi Yao is confident, he puts aside his doubts.
The two exchanged cups and cups for a few more rounds, and after chatting about the general situation of the world, the green shirt floated away, looking as chic and bold as when he came.
Chi Yao put down his wine glass, but did not continue to retreat to practice new Gu magic powers. Instead, he looked at somewhere outside the mountain and sighed: "Troublesome guys come one after another. It's really not easy for people to live in peace!"
But this person is different from Cao Changqing, and he still has to meet him.
Even if Cao Changqing did not form an alliance with him, he would not make trouble for Zhulu Mountain, but the old guy who came this time was different.
And the most important thing is that after this period of repeated thinking, Chi Yao already has a grand plan in his mind.
He was confident that he could have a real face-to-face talk with this Huang Sanjia.
Everyone is a time traveler. Even you yourself are in the book I read. I don’t believe it. Hu, ahem, I can’t convince you!
…
…
Outside Zhulu Mountain, in a small forest.
The girl riding the big black and white cat looked unhappy: "Didn't you say you can see him if you go this way? Where's the man?"
"Hey, my daughter, I said I could let you see her, but I didn't say I could see you right away, right?"
The answer of the old man in Confucian robes successfully made the girl pick up the sunflower at hand and run over to slap him.
Just as the two were having a good time, the old man suddenly looked serious and reached out to hold the girl's arm: "You were discovered even though you were so far away?"
Although the girl didn't know what the old man had discovered, she was not a simple woman who didn't understand anything. After hearing this, she returned to the back of the big black and white cat with sharp eyes.
After a while, Chi Yao riding Pixiu finally appeared in the sight of an old man and a young man.
"It seems that the conclusion I came to from Wangqi is indeed correct. The entire Zhulu Mountain has been turned into a dojo by you."
Huang Longshi said with emotion, "Could it be that you are the leader of a certain generation of demon sect, or the reincarnation of a certain great demon?"
Even with his hundreds of years of experience, he really couldn't imagine that anyone could completely make the demonic land of Zhulu Mountain his own in such a short period of time. We can only guess that the other party left some secrets before reincarnation.
"hehe,"
Chi Yao avoided answering this question and responded with a question, "Then the famous Huang Sanjia, does he dare to come to my Demonic Land?"
"Agitation will have no use to me, young man."
Huang Longshi shook his head, as if he was despising the other party's poor use of the provocation method.
"If that's the case, then I'll change the invitation method."
Chi Yao smiled casually, "I wonder if you have ever heard of this saying: You stand on the bridge and look at the scenery, and the people watching the scenery are watching you upstairs."
Huang Longshi's expression suddenly changed.
This may sound like nothing to others. It is nothing more than a set of words about inside and outside the situation, prediction versus prediction, and seeing who is at the higher level.
But Huang Sanjia is different, he is a book reader!
What is a book-turner?
That is, he was not originally in the book, but he understood everything in the book. Now that he is in the book, there may be someone who can beat him in the small-scale planning competition, but when it comes to the overall situation, who can stand at a higher level than him?
If an ordinary person said this, Huang Sanjia would only think that the other party was arrogant!
But Chi Yao was different.
He has never seen this person in the book.
Of course, no matter what book Huang Sanjia was reading, there is no reason to be able to read all the millions of people in this era.
But anyone who is qualified to influence the general trend of the world should not be left out.
This shows what?
Huang Sanjia's heart was trembling.
The corners of Chi Yao's lips curled up slightly, "How about it, are you willing to follow me into the mountains now?"
"……good!"
Huang Sanjia is indeed Huang Sanjia. Although he was shocked by his guess, he was not really confused.
After settling down the little girl Jia Jiajia beside him, he followed Chi Yao into Zhulu Mountain.
The two of them were silent along the way.
Chi Yao was not in a hurry, but Huang Sanjia didn't know how to ask.
"You also traveled through time? In which year did you come here?"
Although Huang Sanjia's identity as the person who opened the book was not a top secret among a few top figures, he would not be exposed so casually.
On the main peak of Zhulu Mountain, three thousand white jade steps flashed by at their feet.
Peak.
Chi Yao returned to his leader's throne and extended his hand to guide: "Please sit down."
Huang Sanjia didn't show any politeness. He sat in Cao Changqing's seat and took a sip from the wine bottle in front of him.
Then his eyes lit up: "Good wine!"
"Of course it's a good wine."
Chi Yao didn't mind chatting with him for a while, "This wine is my new wine. It's called Zhuolu. It must be very different from the customs outside the mountains, right?"
"It's definitely different."
Huang Longshi is known as the top three, but he knows that there are more than three things. Even if he just chats about the culture of wine, he can talk endlessly.
But he was not in this mood today.
"Okay, don't be pretentious. Let's talk about it. If you insist on inviting me to the mountain, what are you going to say?"
Putting down the wine bottle, a pair of weathered eyes revealed the brilliance of wisdom.
"You are a book reader. You have been here for a long time, and you will not hesitate to bear the name of the devil to transform this world into what you want it to be."
Chi Yao returned to the topic, "You think the future you can see is better than the present, right?"
"Of course!"
Huang Sanjia first answered his question decisively, then narrowed his eyes slightly and asked pointedly, "It seems that your origin is not simple! Is it the same as me?"
"You just need to know the future world that you usually boast about, how ordinary people can travel in Qingming without practicing cultivation, how most people have read more books than great Confucian scholars, etc., I know what's going on. thing."
Chi Yao also admitted that with his current strength, he was not worried about this secret being known to others, let alone just telling Huang Sanjia, who had a similar background.
"In that case, don't you think that era was better than this era?"
After getting the answer, Huang Sanjia was convinced and turned to ask.
"In this era, there are immortals who play with luck from above; there are martial arts masters who frequently conquer the city and affect innocent people; there are aristocratic families who treasure their own brooms and monopolize books and knowledge; there are officials and nobles who treat the people as if they are nothing but killing them at will... Naturally, they are not as good as the future era. .”
Chi Yao said calmly, "But didn't that era have its own problems? Besides, you can't escort us all the way until then. For example, we all know that it is better to have no emperor than to have one, but why don't you go to court? Work in this direction? Because the times do not allow it, and every era has its own shackles.
"So there is only one thing you can really do - cut off the connection between heaven and earth and destroy the world's cultivation system. Then I have to ask, is not being able to practice really a good thing for people in the future?"
If others doubted him like this, Huang Sanjia would probably not even bother to argue with them.
Because he boasts that his vision far exceeds that of the world. You can only see the present, but I can see what will happen a thousand years later!
But Chi Yao was different, a book-turner with a similar origin to himself, which greatly reduced Huang Sanjia's sense of superiority when facing other people.
Nice romance
"What do you mean?"
Huang Longshi's burning eyes collided with Chi Yao in mid-air.
"Huang Sanjia, since you have come from outside the book to the book, why not be more bold?"
