"Brother Li Xiu, we have taken a lot of risks for you. Next, can you find an absolutely private place? We can talk!" Hua Zhong took back the silver snare drum and said in a deep voice.
Li Xiu brought Hua and Jiang to Duoduo's tiny world, set up a sealed space, and the three of them sat on the floor.
"Let's tell Brother Li Xiu what the high priest asked us to tell him personally!" Jiang BuBiao said.
Hua Zhong nodded.
When Li Xiu saw this, he realized that they had just killed someone and silenced them. It turned out that it was not because they suddenly had murderous thoughts, but because they had more important things to tell themselves, and they did not allow more people to know about the meeting between the three of them today.
Skynet's iron-blooded approach to some top-secret missions was almost cruel, and it was true. Logically speaking, this cruel method of killing people and silencing them cannot be tolerated by the imperial court. However, this is a fact. It is said that even the Dianqiansi and the Tianduyuan have a process of beheading first and reporting later. The list of subordinates is recorded. For people who are missing for no reason, they must be explained clearly to the superior! However, the Skynet organization that supervises the Tiantai is ten times more cruel than the Dianqiansi and Tianduyuan. In order to maintain absolute secrecy on top-secret tasks, killing one of its own people is like killing a chicken!
The word confidentiality is the explanation!
At this time, Li Xiu also became serious. He originally wanted to stay with them to inquire about something, but now he just wanted to hear what they had to say.
Hua Zhong said: "I think it's better to pass on the memories!" After Jiang BuBiao nodded in agreement, the two of them pointed at the ancestral orifice between their eyebrows at the same time, and then a ball of light appeared between their fingers, and turned into two red lotuses on the ground. Each lotus blooms one.
Then Li Xiu saw a flash of light above the two red lotuses, and the back of a woman appeared.
Li Xiu understood that the reason why Hua Zhong and Jiang Bupi landed in Chenglian at the same time was to let Li Xiu see that they had nothing to hide. Comparing the two, the things they wanted to convey were the same, which increased credibility.
Sure enough, the back of the woman on the two red lotuses turned around almost at the same time and glanced at Li Xiu.
Buzz…
Buzz…
Two thoughts were transmitted into Li Xiu's Niwan Palace at the same time.
"Li Xiu, in the 860th year of Ziwu, when Emperor Gouchen is born, the world will return to the land of no life. How about canceling the trip to Beihai?"
"Li Xiu, in the 860th year of Ziwu, when Emperor Gouchen is born, the world will return to the land of no life. How about canceling the trip to Beihai?"
The two thoughts only transmitted this sentence. Li Xiu opened his eyes. There was no reaction on the surface, but his heart was extremely complicated.
It seems that in this world, in addition to Emperor Ji Yuan, the old demon Honglian also has the ability to see into people's hearts. He actually knew what Li Xiu was about to do and asked Hua Zhong and Jiang Bubiao to give him a message. , preventing himself from traveling to the North Sea.
However, the more the old demon Honglian showed his magical power, the more Li Xiu felt from the bottom of his heart that he should take this step. In this world where the strong are respected and human infants are reduced to banquets, we must unite with Ma Tiansheng, Zhang Tiangang, the female saint in black, and Yang Buqi, the old monsters who survived the ancient heaven system, and release Emperor Gouchen. At one point in time, he joined forces with Hell Shura to lead the master of the divine needle back from the ancient road. Only with combined efforts could he compete with the demons. In this way, the Western Chu Territory will have a brand new law, and it will no longer be a situation where one company is the only one.
"What do you want to say?" Hua Zhong suddenly asked Li Xiu.
Li Xiudao: "Mr. Hua, you are a famous scholar of the Three Kingdoms. I have read both of your two masterpieces. Some of your insights, especially the aphorisms, in "On War Strategies" and "Zhishi Tongzi" are unique and insightful. They are among the few in the world. Good book! It can be seen from this point, Mr. Hua, that you have already seen that since the end of Dharma, most of the so-called classics handed down by the great Confucian scholars of all generations are suspected of escaping reality. The so-called salvation is just a cover, in fact it is Centralize power for the rulers and fool the people. Your "Zhishi Tongzi" quoted the principle of "water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it" written by the previous dynasty literary sage. The description is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and combines the world's cultivation, government, military, The common people have been condensed into a whole, getting rid of many frameworks. Although some ancient things have been inherited, there are also many brand-new insights. The dross has been removed and the essence has been retained. It can be seen that Mr. Hua, you are a practical Confucian scholar. .”
Mr. Hua was obviously taken aback. He didn't expect that after Li Xiu received their message, he didn't talk about anything but his two most famous books.
Mr. Hua said: "What Brother Li Xiu said is very true. Get rid of the dross and keep the essence. It is really a golden sentence. In fact, in the current dynasty, the new school of Confucianism and Taoism has shown a trend of great development, which is terrible for those of us. It is impossible to ask for it. The freedom to speak freely and achieve absolute freedom of speech is not only something that our generation dreams of, but also something that everyone in the world likes to see! After the period of the seven sects, the great liquidation ended. Since the Age of Ending Dharma, a total of a thousand More than two hundred and ninety-eight years. In the past thirteen hundred years, dynasties have changed in various countries. There are dozens of dynasties, such as Jiuli in the South, and vassals in the Western Regions. The true unification of the Western Regions has only occurred in two dynasties. In our Northern Dynasties, there are five dynasties. , from the Longding Kingdom, the Shenxia Kingdom, the Blue Moon Kingdom, the Daguan Kingdom, and then to this dynasty. Speaking of freedom of speech, even in the previous dynasty, there were two saints, civil and military, who made the world's literati and warriors popular. As you said, true The remaining masterpieces are also very rare, and most of them are just flattering works to please the superiors and the times."
After hearing what Mr. Hua said, Li Xiu understood and said: "It seems that Mr. Hua still maintains a very optimistic attitude towards the current dynasty and has a high evaluation."
Mr. Hua said: "Although I am a member of Skynet, if I talk about practical matters, the six branches of heaven and the stars in the universe, I may be a little more romantic. If I talk about politics, military affairs, and people's livelihood, I am definitely not blind! Strict study, and sages from ancient times. I follow my integrity to the letter and don’t dare to be careless and hasty about it!”
"I believe this!" Li Xiudao: "As far as I know, Mr. Hua's former residence is Cangcheng in Beicang County, adjacent to Canghai and Luoxiang Mountain. That area has been known as picturesque since ancient times, and it is also one of the most beautiful places in the world. One of the villages.”
Although Mr. Hua didn't understand why Li Xiu said this, he still said: "That's exactly the case. However, although my hometown is beautiful, I haven't been back for many years!"
Li Xiudao: "It turns out that Mr. Hua is also a wanderer. When I first heard about Mr. Hua's name, I also knew that Mr. Hua was a famous person who liked to travel around and make friends. I had long wanted to get to know him. However, now I see Come on, sir, the purpose of traveling around is probably not that simple."
Mr. Hua said: "When I was old in my early years, I did travel around to comfort my remaining life. However, since I joined Confucianism and Taoism, my life span has been extended, and the taste has changed a bit!"
Li Xiu nodded, which was regarded as a response to Li Xiu's words. He did have another purpose, but this was not Li Xiu's concern.
"Mr. Hua has integrity, does practical things, dares to speak and act, and he is a role model for the people!" Li Xiu clasped his fists. Hua Zhong quickly replied: "I don't dare!"
Li Xiu then said to Jiang Bubai: "I think Mr. Jiang and Mr. Hua have been from the same hometown since the late Daguan period, but some of their experiences are completely different! Mr. Jiang, you have lived in the southeast of the North-South Grand Canal for a long time from the late Daguan period to the present, running a household." Youdao, he has been in the family for three generations, has three thousand followers, and is also a contemporary celebrity. Have you ever heard of the popular banquets along the canal, where human bones are often used to make spiritual wine and human babies are used to cook food?"
Jiang Bubai's expression changed, and he and Mr. Hua Zhong looked at each other in confusion.
"Mr. Jiang's reaction seems to be true!" Li Xiu asked in a calm tone, "In that case, do you dare to ask me if this trip to Beihai is okay?"
"This..." Hearing this, Jiang BuBi did not dare to look directly into Li Xiu's eyes.
Hua Zhong let out a long sigh.
Li Xiudao: "If the freedom of speech in the demon country prevails among today's celebrities, monks from all directions, and nobles from all directions, Mr. Hua, your ideal can be realized, but the flesh and bones of our strong human race will be used to make soup and wine, and human babies will be used to cook. Frying and boiling for a banquet. Talking at the table, singing and dancing, discussing three thousand ways and eight thousand ways to govern the world. What is the use of such freedom of speech?" At this point, Li Xiu stared again. Zhuojiang Bibi said, "If all this is reasonable and legal, one day, Mr. Jiang, your friend will kill your great-grandchildren for a banquet because of his appetite, or strip your grandchildren naked and wash them as food." Do you still think it is reasonable and legal to swallow raw food without any dignity? I am afraid it is difficult to accept now, and it will be difficult to say in the future, but will you be able to resist then? Stop telling me about survival of the fittest and the law of the jungle. Absurd! The Demonic Kingdom has no future. For us humans, surrendering to and supporting the Demonic Kingdom is a dead end!"
"This! It's absolutely necessary to stop it!" Li Xiu's voice was sonorous and powerful:
"Then rebel!"
Every time Li Xiu said a word, Jiang and Hua trembled. As soon as they said the last sentence "anti-his mother", their expressions on Li Xiu were completely different.
"Mr. Jiang, you said something before. You said that from the perspective of the human race, I have a narrow vision and sometimes go too far. You made me believe that I will change my mind once I understand some of the truth!" Li Xiudao, "No matter what. Is the truth you call a world war or a world destruction? I only know that in order to regain the dignity of my human race and for our own future, I have to go to the end of this path!"
Mr. Hua's voice trembled: "If, I mean if you succeed, who do you want to be the emperor? Is it you?" The reason why his voice trembled was because Li Xiu's face was really ugly at this time. It was even a bit ferocious and terrifying, but Mr. Hua still asked this question.
"Emperor?" Li Xiu sneered: "Only when the common people are the masters of their own affairs, can they truly achieve great prosperity and have a future. Human beings need someone to guide and lead them, but this guidance and leadership may not necessarily be exploitation and Oppressing their rulers, when everyone is independent, everyone is free, a hundred schools of thought contend, and a hundred flowers bloom, that is just the initial stage."
Mr. Hua asked: "What do you think?"
"Open schools widely!" Li Xiu snapped his fingers and said with great confidence: "I am a pioneer and open up a road. Only by opening schools widely and opening up people's wisdom can this road be filled with countless talents. Even if the great calamity of the end of the world is With the arrival of the dynasty, this road will only get wider and wider, and it will not be like the current dynasty, where Emperor Ji Yuan emerged and became a wise king for the ages, capable of defeating the heavens, but internally it is extremely corrupt!"
"I learned a few days ago that you have recruited several groups of teachers and talents from outside to come to Hanchen Academy. Although you are hiding this from us, I have a vague feeling that you are going to take action. I never thought that you would actually take such a path! "Mr. Hua said, feeling incredible.
Jiang BuBiao's expression changed even more, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Li Xiudao: "Do you two dare to have a try with me?"
Neither Hua nor Jiang expressed their opinions.
