After watching Jun Shimei and his party escape, Mu Ziyun's eyelids finally sank. Fang Tianmu threw the magic sword into the crack in the underworld and carried Mu Ziyun on his back. He actually didn't understand why Mu Ziyun hadn't recovered yet. No matter how heavy he used to be, The injury will be fine in a few days. In fact, this is also the dilemma that practitioners begin to face after breaking through the realm of Yu abandonment. Their energy is indeed to the point of looking down on the world, but their bodies are still at the stage of the realm of Yu abandonment, and they have only broken through half of the levels of the road to widowhood. , just barely made the physical body evolve to the level of death.
Fang Tianmu flew toward the sky with Mu Ziyun on his back. He flew twenty miles away when he discovered a problem. The fierce ghosts who had just escaped from the attack in the Demon Valley on the back of the tripod suddenly disappeared. Could it be that the underworld took them back in such a short period of time? Just as he was thinking about it, his eyes suddenly turned sharp. He saw lively black clouds flying towards him in the distance. He wanted to avoid them, but the black clouds seemed to cut through the space and seemed very far away. It only takes a moment to get there. After the black clouds stopped, they transformed into human figures. Fang Tianmu was very familiar with those figures. They were none other than the black elf.
The black elves have been very anxious and confused recently. The extraterrestrial instructions they received through the "Holy Grail Conference" - the arrival of the two-tailed fox, did not develop as they expected at all. The two-tailed fox disappeared. These In the past few days, they have set foot on almost all the land in this sea area, but have returned without success. It was not until just now that the little boy who turned into a two-tailed fox used the energy bomb of the two-tailed fox, and was attacked by the black elf. They sensed it.
The black elf used magic to communicate the language. One elf asked Fang Tianmu: "You have its aura left on you. Where is it?"
Fang Tianmu only thought for a moment and guessed that the other party was referring to the two-tailed fox. After all, even they themselves had no idea where the two-tailed fox had gone. Fang Tianmu said coldly: "In the hands of Jun Shimei." Then he pointed in a direction.
The black elf glanced at the sleeping Mu Ziyun, waved the wand in his hand, and out of thin air, a star immediately flew towards him. Fang Tianmu couldn't resist, and the star point only passed over Mu Ziyun once before flying back to the wand. The black elf looked at the direction pointed by Fang Tianmu and said, "Chase! Also, kill them so that there will be no new human lords." After that, most of the black elves turned into black clouds and flew away, leaving only Seven people, holding magic wands or magic weapons in their hands, used the instant death spell on Fang Tianmu and Mu Ziyun - Infinite Death.
The spell was cast, but what was hit was an afterimage. It turned out that the tyrant in the "Great Destruction" of the black sword even merged with Fang Tianmu and used the shadow to move Fang Tianmu and Mu Ziyun elsewhere.
The seven black elves were puzzled, but light fell on their heads. Before they could look at it, their heads were chopped off. But the black elf was not dead, and his body turned into a black cloud and fled. When the large black elf rushed back again, Fang Tianmu had disappeared without a trace with Mu Ziyun. He found a secluded place and let Mu Zi The cloud slowly recovered, but it took another four days. After four days, Mu Ziyun regained his vitality.
Within Huangdu...
"Hello, great monarch."
Zhai Qiuzi still didn't raise his head, but stretched out his hand. The teacup in his hand flew towards Ge Yuan, and Ge Yuan also moved his fingers. A table was placed in front of him. After the teacup fell on the table, the fragrance began to rise...
"It's all done."
"certainly."
"Looking at it like this, is there anything gained?"
"It's a great harvest," Ge Yuan said with a smile, then raised the tea cup, took a sip of tea, spit it aside, and said, "My lord, this tea is only fragrant and tasteless."
"I haven't put the tea leaves yet, so it's naturally tasteless." Zhai Qiuzi said with a faint smile, and put his fingers into a rhinoceros horn box on the side of the table, twisting some crushed tea foam, and then put it into Ge Yuan's teacup, "Don't worry, wait. It spreads out.”
After the tea foam dispersed, the water also took on a tea color. Zhai Qiuzi said, "Try it now."
"No."
"Oh? Why, don't you want to taste it?"
"I know it tastes good, and that's enough. Why should I try it myself?"
“If you don’t taste it yourself, how will you know how to taste it next time?”
"If you don't taste the taste, it will ruin a whole box of good tea."
"Tea is good tea, water is good water, but when they are put together, they don't taste good, so they need to be tasted."
Ge Yuan nodded slightly, paused for a moment, and drank the tea in the cup into his mouth, but did not swallow it and spit it aside. After it was done, he praised: "Good tea, good tea, very tasty."
"Since it tastes so good, how can you not swallow it?"
"Alas -" Ge Yuan replied after a long sigh, "I'm afraid it's poisonous."
Zhai Qiuzi seemed amused and said with a smile: "How can it be poisonous? Can I still hurt you?"
"Of course not, but I'm afraid of being poisoned by outsiders, and the great monarch doesn't know."
"Who can hide from my eyes?" Zhai Qiuzi finally raised his head and looked at Ge Yuan.
"It is rare in the world, but it is not without it, so there is still a risk. Even if you taste it and order it until you finish it, the tea will be in your stomach. It has no root and has lost its connection. It is something that I can no longer control. It is better to spit it out and watch it spread over the stone. The noodles still have a charming lingering fragrance, very good, very good.”
The two then entered a period of silence that lasted for half an hour. During this period, Zhai Qiuzi kept drinking tea, while Ge Yuan quietly looked at the empty tea cup. Both of them seemed to be waiting for something. ....
After another half an hour, what Zhai Qiuzi was waiting for arrived first. A five-year-old girl opened the door and walked straight in. She held something in her hand and handed it to Zhai Qiuzi. Qiuzi touched the girl's head lovingly and said, "Go down and find your father."
The girl nodded, but the atmosphere in the room was too tense, and she did not dare to speak, so she retreated neatly. Ge Yuan, however, kept staring at the teacup without raising his head.
Zhai Qiuzi said: "Don't you see what is being sent?"
"Oh - you don't have to look, I know." Ge Yuan looked at the tea cup and said, "The 'Yuan Zhen Instrument' is the family treasure of Fengchao."
Zhai Qiuzi added more tea leaves to his tea cup. After more than ten breaths, he finally spoke with a gentle tone: "Since you know everything, why do you let them go to Fengchao?"
"As for the plan, we still have to finish the journey. After all, there are still so many things that need to be done on the way." Ge Yuan kept staring at the teacup.
"What have you been doing these past seven days?"
"The great monarch can calculate destiny and explore the opportunities in the universe. Don't you know where I am going?"
Zhai Qiuzi replied: "Many days ago, I calculated it once, but I have never calculated it again. Everything has been settled, and any changes are left to the chess pieces themselves."
"What a coincidence, that's what I thought too. After I finished the calculation seven days ago, I didn't do it again. I settled everything down and left it to them as to the outcome."
The two were silent for a while, and they didn't say anything again for a long time. Zhai Qiuzi knew that Ge Yuan was also waiting for something.
For half an hour, the two of them seemed to be still, until a black butterfly flew into the room. The black butterfly landed on Ge Yuan's teacup, then flapped its thin wings, and frankincense slowly rose from the teacup. Finally, the cup was filled with fresh milk. Ge Yuan picked up the cup, drank it all, and then shouted three times that it was delicious.
"what is that?"
Hearing this question, Ge Yuan wiped the corners of his mouth and replied: "Shu Liang's milk."
"Shu Liang? Hiss - that's a hundred thousand miles away. Does it have anything to do with this chess game?"
"No," Ge Yuan replied directly, but then said, "I said no, do you believe it?"
Zhai Qiuzi smiled and said nothing. After a while, he spoke again: "You don't have anything to say. Do you want to ask me?"
Ge Yuan stroked the black butterfly on the teacup, sighed, and said: "Before entering the door, I really prepared a lot of questions, but when I sat down, I couldn't say them out. The reason is also very simple, because I can ask I can probably guess the answers to all the questions. The reason why I want to ask is just to hear your explanation. The reason why I don’t want to ask is because I feel that once the answer is given, it will inevitably be useless again. Let's just wait and see how the situation develops."
"You better ask. Old man, I have always wanted to argue with you. After all... you still want to be the great monarch after all."
"Hehehe..." Ge Yuan smiled twice, and after about seven or eight breaths, he finally spoke and asked: "Your Majesty, how can you give away the treasures of Huangdu at will? It has been for millions of years. , this rule... has never been an exception."
"I've made exceptions, many times, but I won't leave a record..."
"When will it be taken back?"
"Of course it's time to take it back..."
"I'm weird..."
"What's weird?"
“Since the great monarch wants to use others as pawns, why would he cut off his own hands?”
Zhai Qiuzi sighed and said, "Because this chess piece is not dead, but alive."
"Isn't it bad to be alive and become dead?"
"Didn't you make the dead become liveable?"
The two of them looked at each other and smiled, both with deep meanings. After a long time, Ge Yuan came straight to the point, no longer cryptic, and said: "'Emperor's Shield', a fragment of the ancient artifact 'East Emperor Bell', blocks all fortune-telling techniques and blocks everything." Perception, in terms of its value alone, it is not lower than the 'Shen Nong Cauldron' you gave me back then. Why should such a treasure be given to that kind of person? Your Majesty, it's so unfair."
Zhai Qiuzi said: "In this regard, you have wronged me. As you said, I also gave away the 'Shen Nong Ding'."
"But you...oh..." Ge Yuan suddenly realized, "Your acting skills are really good. I really thought you were sad. It turns out that you had already thought that the treasure might not come back."
"I didn't think it would come back from the beginning." Zhai Qiuzi said with a smile.
Ge Yuan patted the table, looking very puzzled, and said with a smile: "I can probably guess the answer, but... can you tell me personally, why? You would choose Junshimei."
"Because I know you will choose Mu Ziyun..."
"Isn't it good to choose Mu Ziyun? Doesn't Jun Shimei kill people? He is more difficult to guide, let alone control!"
"In my eyes, they are all the same..." A figure walked out from behind Zhai Qiuzi. Ge Yuanzhi was not too surprised. He just sneered and said, "You are really..."
The figure standing next to Zhai Qiuzi was actually a black elf...
Ge Yuan paused for a moment and said: "The result of the Holy Grail Conference was not the two-tailed fox?"
Unexpectedly, the black elf replied: "It's the two-tailed fox."
Ge Yuan waved his hand, and the black elf was suddenly shot away by an invisible force and imprisoned in the pillar. Ge Yuan didn't want to talk nonsense to outsiders. He leaned forward, stared at Zhai Qiuzi, and asked: "Your Majesty, please come up Have you gone astray? Mother Phoenix...it..."
"Mother Phoenix's mind is pure... Therefore, I will definitely not have any distracting thoughts..." Zhai Qiuzi replied with a smile.
Ge Yuan nodded and said: "Actually, I also know this. It is possible for me to be a bad person, but you... you will not go astray. But why, why did you choose Junshi Mei !”
"Who said Jun Shimei and his team are bad?"
"Isn't it bad enough?" Ge Yuan immediately said, "Don't tell me who defines good or bad, I'll just ask, they..."
Zhai Qiuzi interrupted him and said, "Isn't Mu Ziyun bad enough?"
"this...."
"Has he killed few people? Has he brought few evildoers?"
"But there's at least the possibility that he can be guided."
Zhai Qiuzi said: "You and I are both people who can see the secrets of heaven and even the destiny of heaven. Why do we insist on being obsessed with these two groups of people? Because you and I both know very well what they are related to. In this case, in the reincarnation of evil, The distinction between good and bad is lost. No matter who you choose, as long as there is no problem with the overall direction, then people will no longer be slaughtered."
"Then why do we have to control their fate? Can't we just let everything happen naturally?"
"You have calculated their fates, and you should know that their fates are filled with endless disasters. Wherever they go, there are lives lost and misfortunes. Now that we have met them, we have the responsibility to save the world! "
"The responsibility mentioned by the great monarch is to let these so-called 'evils' meet as soon as possible, have more bonds, and make the disaster come earlier, right? Haha, if I am not wrong, if you are not adding fuel to the fire, Mu Ziyun These people will have to postpone meeting Jun Shimei for at least three years, because I have calculated that Mu Ziyun and his group should have suffered two major disasters in these years. They have no intention of looking for the longevity flower, so they will not encounter it. Come to Junshimei."
After Zhai Qiuzi was silent for a long time, he faintly replied: "Disasters that can be controlled can at least be overcome."
"Would you rather believe that the intersection of evil and evil will cancel out the evil? Wouldn't it bring about greater evil?" Ge Yuan said angrily, "They are not all evil, there are also miserable people."
"When ten thousand creatures and the life of one creature are placed in front of you, no matter how you choose, it will be a sin in your heart, and I have already shouldered this sin." Zhai Qiuzi said, "Mother Phoenix... is What can pass down memories is the past of great monarchs in my mind. If you become a great monarch, you will make the same decision as me."
"So I should be glad that I saw the reality clearly before becoming a great monarch."
"So...what do you want to do, the road is paved?"
Ge Yuan said: "From the time when Jun Shimei's group kept appearing unreasonably, I deduced that someone should have planned a route for them. Although I can't believe it, it can only be you. Since you are I arranged for Mu Ziyun and gave instructions to Jun Shimei, alas... I think I wanted them to die together."
"No, it's a fight between evil and evil!"
"What if they merge? What if they become even greater evil?"
"That's why we have to meet them in advance, because now, it's easy for me to kill them."
"Then you can kill them all now..."
"Evil cannot be completely eliminated. If the old evil in the world is wiped out, new evil will be born. Only by suppressing evil to a minimum will the world's creatures not experience the end of the world again. You should see it very clearly. Ge Yuan, you have entered the chess seat... No matter which group of people survive, they can bring evil to the world, so they are all the same, there is no distinction between good and bad."
The black butterfly flew to Ge Yuan's shoulder, and Ge Yuan replied: "I'll follow you, but I tell you, there is good and bad in evil!"
