"Wood creates fire, fire contains gold, gold contains soup, and water contains earth."
This is a hazy filled void, like a tomb, like a house, like a cave, and apart from the vain and yellow light, there seems to be nothing else.
There were nine monks in front of Gu Yucheng.
Four men and four women. The other was left with nothing but dry bones.
The nine monks sat with their knees hanging out of thin air, facing Gu Yucheng—or rather, facing Gu Yucheng from any direction—and stretched out their palms.
From time to time, a ray of light flashed across the palms of the nine monks.
Whenever the light flew through the monk's hands like a koi, Gu Yucheng could always see those words.
"The fire on the wood...the fire on the wood..." Gu Yucheng murmured softly.
In the wilderness, the tripod represents power...
The disillusionment in front of him gradually collapsed, his consciousness gradually awakened, and a breath of fresh air was poured into his mouth.
Gu Yucheng woke up.
Looking at the same empty scene in front of him, Gu Yucheng remained silent.
Ever since he was imprisoned by Xuansheng in the Pi Zhi Qiulan Pei Zhong, Gu Yucheng would dream about the nine monks every time.
"Perhaps they are the Nine Sons?" Gu Yucheng speculated without any basis.
"Are you awake?" came the Qin official's voice, which was neither sad nor happy.
Gu Yucheng nodded across the formation, "What did Mr. Qin say to the devil that he can be without any restrictions in Zhengdingyuan?"
Mr. Qin did not answer, but asked, "Do you really think it's funny?"
"Huh?" Gu Yucheng didn't know what the Qin official was referring to.
"There will always be times when people's ideas, desires, and desires conflict. Different factions are derived from this, but there is never a winner. - The wood is getting angry." The Qin official sighed.
The seemingly unintentional sigh pierced into Gu Yucheng's heart: "Mr. Qin, do you know that wood is getting angry?"
This time, the Qin official was puzzled: "Huh?...Ha, it seems you have gained something."
"Zhengdingyuan, Zhengdingyuan, Zhengdingyuan! Aren't you curious, why is this secret place called Zhengdingyuan? - Hexagram image, the Ding hexagram says "Ding, a gentleman uses the right position to focus his life."
"Ding, it is necessary to seek something new after revolution. How to ask for it? How to ask for it? Correct its position and condense its destiny. - Gu Yucheng, you also know the Ningding Realm. Why is it called the Ningding Realm? It is really because the monks arrived in ancient times This realm will condense its own domain into a tripod shape? Or is it because the tripod represents rights?"
Gu Yucheng didn't answer nonsense.
"Dayu sought the Nine Cauldrons to achieve the realm of Condensing Cauldron. For what purpose? To resist the way of heaven. You won't forget the story of Dayu's flood control, right? The floods that left monks helpless and required the realm of Condensing Cauldron to control them, How terrible is it? Not to mention...how many monks stood up during that flood?"
Official Qin's figure gradually appeared in front of Gu Yucheng. His eyes were like a tiger in the forest, full of calm aloofness.
"Put it another way, you will understand. Gu Yucheng, listen, in the past, Dayu controlled floods for the sake of the inheritance of Chinese civilization, and he may not have selfish motives. But at that time, Ding belonged to the world. Our mission is to At that time, it was called "the world is for the common good." Earlier, we formed tribes and elected leaders just to survive in this desolate world."
"Our mission since ancient times is for the entire nation, for the inheritance and long-lasting prosperity of the entire China. - At that time, the Ding was upright and the gentleman was there." The Qin official took out his pipe. When he smiles bitterly, his beard is as straight as a needle.
"You also know what happened later. The Xia Dynasty was founded, Tang established the Yin Shang Dynasty, and King Wu established the Zhou Dynasty. The rights began to belong to a certain group. At this time, if the tripod is not upright, a gentleman will appear every hundred years or every thousand years."
Gu Yucheng's heartbeat was beating fast and his eyes were open vacantly.
""Setting up officials and dividing duties is to serve the people." Setting up officials and setting up posts is to improve people's lives. - "Setting up officials and dividing duties is to make people smart and handsome." Official posts are set up to meet the needs of the nobility. You see, We have lost our mission."
Gu Yucheng shook his head, "What do you mean? Mission? Isn't it just for monks to practice to live a better life?"
Qin Li swallowed a long puff of cigarette, lowered his head and put away the cigarette pole, "Zhengdingyuan is to warn the people of the world, to rectify the power of the tripod. But I think this has nothing to do with you."...
Courage is as big as heaven and earth.
The Qin official is only responsible for pointing out one direction and one truth, but more is not what he is willing to do.
.
Gu Yucheng frowned, and after being speechless for a long time, he suddenly laughed, "If the Nine Saints are right, then the Nine Sons are also members of the Zhengding. According to this idea... we can say that some people hope for the Zhengding, while others do not. He hid the tripod in his own house. Mr. Qin, do you mean to return this tripod to the people of the world?"
Qin Li raised his eyebrows and curled his lips with disdain, "Wrong. It's not a return. It's not a return. It's always there, always there. I originally thought that this Zhengdingyuan would be helpful to you, but it's a pity that you are useless."
"Condensing Cauldron Realm..." Gu Yucheng stood up, "These are really troubled times."
Although he was belittled by Qin officials, Gu Yucheng did not have much anger or sadness.
"Condensing Cauldron Realm, a mission? Because a monk with a high level of cultivation has a mission to shoulder the world?"
Qin Li shook his head and rejected Gu Yucheng's statement.
"Gu Ning people have a good saying, "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world." The Qin official exhaled a filthy breath and stopped talking.
"The devil really plans to destroy the Bai family?" Gu Yucheng broke the silence.
"Well. - He is the real devil." Qin Li's eyes were much darker.
"Maintaining integrity is the highest dignity of a person. Isn't that what you said?" Qin Li asked.
Gu Yucheng was surprised again. Even a little horrified.
Qin Li chuckled, "Don't be shocked. I can tell you my origin. - Luoyang Calendar."
Gu Yucheng was relieved, "That's it."
"I know your past. I told you before that I have some tricks." Qin Li said calmly.
"The Shang Kingdom and the Central Plains Sect saw the rise of the Nine Sons Holy Army and could not hold back. The devil has never thought of this?" Gu Yucheng planned to find a breakthrough from the Qin officials.
Qin Li shook his head and said after a moment, "I don't know. Xuansheng is willing to let me go, but he is not willing to let me participate in his plan."
"You can tell me what's going on outside now, right?" Gu Yucheng settled for the next best thing.
Instead, the Qin officials refused, "Instead of thinking about things in the outside world, it is better to think about how to break away from the shackles of this formation."
Gu Yucheng sighed helplessly, "This is the formation set up by the Ninth Patriarch, and it is no longer the devil's method."
Qin Li laughed and said, "Forgot what I said?"
Gu Yucheng usedlessly focused his gaze on the formation wall, as if he could penetrate the formation's restrictions in this way.
"Since the Nine Sons left the source of Zhengding, they will naturally think of all this today. You also said that some people hope to Zhengding, while others hope to hide the tripod in their own homes. - Well, the reminder ends here." Qin Li said After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked out.
Gu Yucheng suddenly understood. Hope is in dreams.
Many hopes lie in unrealistic fantasies.
The more sober you are, the less likely you are to be free.
Looking at the limited world in front of him, Gu Yucheng closed his eyes.
