"Tiankuang..."
Shang Yijiang was gloomy and strong, and a wolf-like and jackal-like voice sounded in the void.
The next moment, a gap opened in the space next to Shang Wuyi, slowly expanding until after he was the same size, a figure strode out.
Shang Wuyi looked at the visitor tiredly and asked boredly, "Aren't you tired? Shang Yijiang."
Shang Yijiang's gaze remained unwavering, defiant. "A monk is a person who cultivates his whole life. How can he get tired of it if he has been committed to it for a lifetime?"
Shang Wuyi was silent for a moment, and finally said what was on his mind, "In my opinion, you have just become a vassal of power."
Shang Yijiang remained calm, "Who dares to claim to be unhindered, and who dares to live completely free? You have to believe in something and surrender to something."
Shang Wuyi finally laughed angrily, but said nothing more.
"I know you are rejecting me. But you and I... are old acquaintances." Shang Yijiang took the initiative to speak.
The topic changed, making Shang Wuyi sigh slightly, "What if the Sixth Master had received enlightenment back then? The legacy of the Imperial Ancestor... we might still have a chance of winning..."
Shang Yijiang frowned and looked solemn, "Since ancient times, there have always been many people who were resourceful and resourceful, but still ended up in defeat."
Shang Wuyi was finally a little angry, "But since ancient times, there have been many virtuous kings who have come to the world to save people in times of crisis!"
Shang Yijiang finally looked at Shang Wuyi, "Back then, the Dao Emperor accepted six disciples. There were countless disciples in the clan who were sympathetic to each other and made themselves their servants."
"Yixin, the most talented among them, was the most favored. But he lost." Shang Yijiang's tone did not sound like a winner. In this matter, he also had his own unwillingness.
"I lost because of your flattery." Shang Wuyi blurted out and realized something was wrong.
But Shang Yijiang was not annoyed or angry, he was as calm as ever.
"We are all latecomers... How many people in the world are born with an understanding of the overall situation, and how many of them are aware of it and have enough strength? With enough strength, they are also resourceful?"
"At that time, I saw that the emperor was worried. So, I believed that he was also dissatisfied."
"So, what are you dissatisfied with? - The six disciples were selected by him and the clan elders. The current situation was not unsustainable..."
"So." Shang Wuyi was still a little unbelievable. "Based on just one encounter, you concluded that the emperor did not like resolute and decisive people. Just because of the competitive attitude of the six disciples during the apprenticeship ceremony, you firmly believed that at this point?"
Shang Yijiang was silent for a while and nodded slowly, "I am the most determined of the many monks who defected to Fourth Master. Therefore, when I suggested that Fourth Master stop being competitive and adopt a calm and kind style, Fourth Master Although he hesitated, he was finally persuaded by me.”
After hearing this, Shang Wuyi couldn't help but lamented, "One bad move will lead to eternal hatred."
"When you and I experienced the Dao Emperor, the Qianfeng Emperor, and became the Emperor, we knew the truth... everything in the past was just a coincidence." Shang Yijiang, who has always been strong, had to lament the coincidence of fate at this moment. .
Shang Wuyi fell into memories:
"In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the existence of the Nine Heavenly Li Territory was vaguely aware. It included the local roads in the Great Wilderness. By the Shang Dynasty, the Nine Heavenly Li Territory was actually already aware of it. It was discovered that all civilizations share the same Heavenly Dao.
There were four emperors during the heyday of the Shang Dynasty. Two of them are permanently stationed in the Jiutianli Domain, maintaining the resources that the wilderness should have.
Unfortunately, limited by past history and established vision, the four emperors deliberately ignored that there was a civilization in the Jiutian Li Territory that was secretly seizing the local roads and stealing more of the Li Territory's humanity. "
Speaking of this, Shang Wuyi felt heartbroken and depressed, and it was hard to speak for a moment.
Shang Yijiang ruthlessly exposed the reality:
“When Taixi Civilization was massacring other civilizations and grabbing resources from various places, the four emperors did not take action.
It is very likely that they are afraid that when they compete for the world's resources, they will increase the strength of the six major princes and aristocratic families in various places, making the status of the royal family unstable or even being replaced.
After all, the royal family alone is far from enough to compete with the Taixi civilization. We can only rely on the major families and various forces.
In order to maintain the imperial family and maintain its own rule, it can only sacrifice the opportunity for the development of the entire wilderness civilization. "
Shang Wuyi looked at Shang Yijiang, his eyes full of doubts.
Shang Yijiang smiled disdainfully, "Obsessing about right and wrong will only lead to failure."
Shang Wuyi gritted his teeth, "If you ignore right and wrong, how can you succeed?"
Shang Yijiang shook his head slightly, "I know that you resent the four emperors for abandoning thousands of people in order to protect their own country. You think that I am the same as you."
Shang Wuyi didn't talk to him.
Shang Yijiang did not explain and continued the previous topic:
“The decisions of the four imperial ancestors caused the overall power of the Shang Kingdom to completely lag behind the Taixi Civilization.
In the middle and late period of the dynasty, two supreme emperors were seriously injured in the Jiutianli Domain. Of the two imperial ancestors who stayed in the Shang Kingdom, the one whose longevity was lost was also caused by injuries in the Jiutianli Domain. It was not a cultivation error at all.
The defeat in the Jiutianli Domain allowed the countries of the Taixi Civilization to begin to carve up the resources of Heaven in our wilderness. It was under such circumstances that the only Taoist emperor in the Shang Kingdom accepted six disciples.
He knew that one of these disciples would eventually become the new Supreme Emperor, and he would know the decline of the Shang Kingdom in the Jiutianli Territory. You will also know the powerlessness of the Shang state in the face of Taixi civilization. 33
The reason why he looked sad was because he did not want an ambitious disciple to become the top leader of the Shang Kingdom.
He was afraid that in the face of the huge gap, the fledgling and vigorous Taishang Emperor would drag the Shang Kingdom and the royal family into the boundless abyss.
Dao? The emperor needs a successor who is calm and kind, tolerant and generous. "
"So, after accepting your suggestion, the fourth master has gradually become more considerate and mature in his behavior, and has become the best successor in the heart of the Taoist Emperor." Shang Wuyi couldn't help but sigh.
The eldest disciple Yin Ning is indeed not favored. But that is compared with the sixth disciple Yi Xin. Except for Yi Xin, the other disciples were not particularly different from Yi Ning.
What's more, being able to become a Taoist disciple proves that Yin Ning has always been one of the six best young monks in the entire Shang Imperial Sect.
When his actions were more conducive to the entire imperial sect and more in line with the interests of the Shang family and Dao Yu's expectations, the outline of the successor in Dao Yu's heart naturally gradually overlapped with that of Yin Ning.
"At the beginning, you just wanted the fourth master to behave differently, so as to deepen the impression of the emperor. You never thought about using this to get the emperor's heart. For you, this is just a test, and you just hope to open up the world. The situation, a trial to find a breakthrough. A strange combination of circumstances! Let you win the whole game!!" Shang Wuyi seemed a little angry.
Shang Yijiang looked at Shang Wuyi indifferently and sighed softly, "The fourth master has been enjoying himself all his life. He is indeed not a good talent. He is not worthy of a high position. In other words, the heaven will eventually have to be remedied by Nuwa, and the chaos in the world cannot be stopped by mortals. He will eventually He is just a genius in cultivation and a mediocre king."
"So, have you ever regretted that you cut off Master Liu's path to being a Taoist widow?" Shang Wuyi rolled up his sleeves and stood up, looking up at Shang Yijiang.
Shang Yijiang did not answer this question.
"This great emperor just hates you too much."
Shang Yijiang seemed to have lost all emotion and looked at Shang Wuyi coldly.
"What about you? And why did you agree to lead me to attack the nine provinces with Shang Pu?"
Face this problem. Shang Wuyi could only remain silent.
Some people died, but not completely...
