Talking about business matters is not easy. Especially under the premise that Da Hongtian has not successfully put pressure on Huang Tianyu once. Not only will we fight for every inch, but at the very least we won’t give in even an inch.
The person talking about this matter was not Wang Nian or Liu Rui, but Yang Rui.
Because compared to Wang Nian and Liu Rui, Yang Rui is better at strategic analysis and judgment of this general direction, and he also has the ability to keenly observe various details in the general direction. Coupled with the assistance of Wang Nian and Liu Rui, it really gave the Dahongtian people headed by Li Yan a headache.
It’s not like I have never encountered such a difficult business negotiation opponent before. But every time an agreement cannot be reached, external pressure can be used to force the other party to make concessions. In the end, you just need to retain some of the other party's bottom line. After all, what Dahongtian wants is a steady flow of water, not killing the goose to obtain the eggs, and will not push a certain world that has surrendered to death.
Now there is no way to exert pressure in the Desolate Heaven Realm. Just the verbal exchanges on the table have made immortals like Li Yan who have rarely worked so hard become very anxious.
Li Yan went to Fang Shiwen several times, hoping to get help, but was blocked directly and said that he was "unavailable."
No. No time? !
Li Yan was dumbfounded. After asking Da Hongtian's disciples assigned to Fang Shiwen, he found out that Fang Shiwen had been staying behind closed doors since he brought back a set of books two days ago.
What kind of book would make a powerful earthly immortal like Fang Shiwen so fascinated by it that he doesn't care about worldly affairs? Or should he be able to forget even the major matters of the sect?
How puzzled I was, but I didn't dare to have any dissatisfaction. At the same time, I don’t believe that Fang Shiwen really cares about the major affairs of the sect.
Firstly out of trust. Secondly, it is due to the difference in status. Although they are both elders of Haoxuemen, the status gap between Li Yan and Fang Shiwen is huge. Even if you calculate carefully, she is still several generations behind Fang Shiwen.
Fang Shiwen in the room didn't know that Li Yan had come outside his house several times, nor did he really put aside his official duties to do personal things. In the eyes of Fang Shiwen at this time, what he was doing was official business, which was better than showing up to look for excuses for the cliff. Mountain pressure is more important.
"Journey to the West" has nearly one million words, plus those derivative miscellaneous notes. Even though Fang Shiwen has the ability to read and write at a glance, it still took several days to study it carefully and repeatedly.
At first, Fang Shiwen read this book as a glimpse into the past history of the great world. I think that although there will inevitably be some textual exaggerations in it, the general context should be credible.
As for the claim that "Journey to the West" is just a story compiled in idle time, Fang Shiwen completely scoffed at this statement. Because there are too many things in it that can be matched in reality. This is true regardless of means or division of power.
For example, the two largest forces in "Journey to the West" are Tianting and Xitian.
Based on Fang Shiwen's knowledge, he had already heard information about Xitian and Heavenly Court from a few words in the past. Although what Fang Shiwen knew before was very one-sided, some of the statements that corroborated "Journey to the West" suddenly became vivid.
And Fang Shiwen dared to say with certainty that this book seemed to promote "the light of Buddha in the Western Heaven", but in fact it was insinuating "the hypocrisy of Buddha" and also mocking "the weakness of heaven".
The resulting "Journey to the West" has only one purpose: to reveal the truth.
This is the conclusion that Fang Shiwen came to after careful consideration many times. He even felt that this could tell where the inheritance of the ancient world in Zhang Yan's hands should come from.
First of all, exclude the forces of Xitian. After all, from the beginning to the end, it is an insinuation of Xitian, and it never stops. Then exclude the demon cultivator system, because the demon cultivator and the cliff mountain show a very different situation. Finally, there are the forces dominated by Heaven.
Although "Journey to the West" also contains a lot of ridicule of heaven, it has a stronger flavor of "hate iron but cannot become steel". In addition, the methods are all close to the inheritance of Cliff Mountain. Therefore, Fang Shiwen felt that the inheritance of the great world in Zhang Yan's hands came from heaven.
In fact, if you just read "Journey to the West", there is not much description of heaven, and it is very sloppy. But some of the things mentioned make Heaven seem to be anything but simple as described in words.
For example, hundreds of thousands of heavenly soldiers. Another example is mastering a treasure like the "Peach Garden". There is also the authority to control arbitration in the three realms. None of these things are so simple. If they were as weak as the book says, they would have been overthrown long ago.
Later, when Fang Shiwen combined the miscellaneous notes derived from "Journey to the West" and read them together, he discovered more clues. It also revealed the extremely obscure struggle for control of the world hidden in "Journey to the West".
"call"
Fang Shiwen put down the last miscellany in his hand, and then took a long breath. The expression on his face was uncertain. It took a long time before he called in the disciples who were waiting outside the door.
"You go to Sect Leader Zhang and tell him that I have something I want to talk to him about now."
The accompanying disciples immediately trotted to find Liu Rui, who was meeting these foreign visitors, and told Fang Shiwen's request. Then Liu Rui went to Dengyun Temple to report.
After burning the incense, even though it was already dark, Fang Shiwen still saw Zhang Yan on the terrace behind Dengyun Palace. And there was no one else around, just the two of them. In front of him was a small table with two bottles of wine and three plates of side dishes to go with the wine.
"Elder Fang must not dislike some wild game and vegetables in the mountains."
"Master Zhang, you're so polite. I shouldn't bother you so late at night, but I'm too confused, so I can only be presumptuous even though I know I shouldn't." Fang Shiwen said as he picked up the wine glass on the table and made a toast, then drank it all in one gulp. .
Zhang Yan also drank a drink with him and filled it up for him before smiling and asking, "If Elder Fang has any doubts, you can speak up and Zhang Yan will try his best to answer them."
"Recently, Sect Master Zhang must also know that I have been reading Guizong's "Journey to the West" and related miscellaneous notes. I am deeply touched. I am also shocked by the grand story background. So I would like to know Sect Master Zhang's evaluation of these, um, stories. What is it?"
"Evaluation? Journey to the West?"
"right."
Seeing Fang Shiwen's serious expression, Zhang Yan felt inexplicably ridiculous. Of course he knew every move Fang Shiwen made recently. But what Zhang Yan knows about "Journey to the West" is that it has authorship. Although almost everything in it is based on things from the Earth's legendary era, it is still open to question how true the outline of the story is. At least Zhang Yan currently does not dare to read "Journey to the West" as a pure story, nor as a pure historical fact.
But the powerful Earth Immortal from Dahongtian in front of him seems to be taking it completely seriously? !
After considering his words, Zhang Yan also put away the smile on his face and said sternly: "Elder Fang, "Journey to the West" is originally written in words. When seeing the words, hundreds of people will have hundreds of interpretations. So my evaluation is not important. , the important thing is what insights the people who read it can get from it.”
