Under One Person: One Person Goes

Chapter 54 Goodbye

"What do you think my next plan will be?"

Wang Yi asked the people who had heard his story, and they all opened their mouths, speechless.

Just like Wang Yi said, he really didn't have so many ideas at the beginning. If he didn't come to this chaotic world as a homeless person at the beginning, but directly joined the Xuanmen sect such as Longhushan or Sanyi.

Then he definitely wouldn't think so much and do so much as he does now.

Because he is just a free traveler in the mountains. Although he can see the sufferings of the world, he is still far away from them. No matter how much he does, no one has any reason to blame him.

But who can blame me for not being so lucky? I was thrown into the streets of this chaotic world to survive, without even a chance to choose.

So even if he knew the answer, he still wanted to give it a try to see if he could avoid the so-called secrets and inner thoughts, and reveal more ideas about the solution to the questioner, and try to let the questioner give a better answer.

Because the better the answer, the fewer innocent people will die in this chaotic world.

So every step he took was like walking on thin ice, because he had to test little by little, trying to find out what kind of missed questions would not cause the backlash of the inner scene of the heavenly secret. Maybe he didn't do well enough, but at least he had a bottom line, and it wouldn't get worse.

In this competition, winning or not is not important.

If you win, it will make such a big announcement that the world of extraordinary people will all know that you, the top disciple trained by Longhu Mountain for thousands of years, cannot beat a lone ranger who grew up wildly outside.

Indeed, this is harmless to Longhu Mountain, after all, not every generation of Longhu Mountain Heavenly Master is the best in the world of extraordinary people. But there are some things in the future. If you let Longhu Mountain down today, they will give you some surprises from time to time when they need Longhu Mountain, the orthodox sect of Xuanmen, to take the lead in doing things. These surprises may not be from Longhu Mountain's original intention, but they can't stop it.

Thanks to the way the world is, he understood these principles very early on.

"Junior Brother Wang, I'll give you a piece of advice. This is also the lesson learned by our 42nd generation Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain. That is, unless the country is destroyed and the race is exterminated, otherwise, strangers will not interfere in state affairs. Junior Brother Wang, you must be cautious."

Facing Wang Yi's question, the people present were all around 15 or 20 years old. Although they had no worries about food and clothing, they all understood the principles they should understand. They listened to Wang Yi's questions. They knew the approximate answers, but they had no reason to persuade Wang Yi to let it go.

Only Zhang Zhiwei could barely have the same position as Wang Yi, because he, like Wang Yi, was an orphan.

But one was brought to Longhu Mountain since childhood, and the other has been begging on the streets since childhood.

The fate of the two was like the reverse of a mirror, so Zhang Zhiwei could understand it. He had seen this side of the world when Zhang Tianshi took him down the mountain to learn from other disciples, but he had never been deeply involved in it.

So he just advised Wang Yi to think more about it instead of letting it go.

Listening to Zhang Zhiwei's advice, Wang smiled.

You see, this is Wang Yi's purpose. If he can't get you, the future Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain, to put himself in his shoes, it would be meaningless for him to lose this game by just one move.

As for the 42nd Heavenly Master mentioned by Zhang Zhiwei, his name was Zhang Zhengang, and he was active during the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty.

Relying on the great grace bestowed by the emperors of the Yuan Dynasty and the title of Heavenly Master recognized by him, after nearly a hundred years of operation, Longhu Mountain at that time had the power of its founder Zhang Daoling. He also placed a bet on Zhu Yuanzhang early in the late Yuan Dynasty, and when the Ming Dynasty was established, he rushed to Beijing to meet the emperor so that Longhu Mountain's power in the secular circle could continue.

As a result, they met the inconsistent master Zhu, who said, "Tianshi, how can heaven have a master?" He forced the Tianshi to kneel before the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty and allowed him to deprive them of the title of Tianshi that had been passed down from generation to generation in Longhu Mountain. He was given the title of Da Zhenren.

The blow from the founding emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang, and Zhu Yuanzhang's covert use of secular forces, directly made Longhu Mountain very unhappy. Their status dropped in both the secular and alien worlds, and the 42nd generation Heavenly Master, the first generation Heavenly Master, died in the 10th year of Hongwu.

If that were all, it would be fine. After all, a new emperor appoints new ministers.

Just hold on until Zhu Yuanzhang leaves and the new emperor takes the throne. I guess the status of Longhu Mountain will improve a lot.

Everyone knows what happened next. Emperor Taizong of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di, set a precedent for local princes to overthrow the central government during the unified dynasty. The evil monk Yao Guangxiao, as the head of Quanxing at the time, led that group of lawless guys to help Zhu Di accomplish this great feat.

For a time, the Quanxing sect was extremely popular because of its leader Yao Guangxiao. Not only Longhu Mountain, but even other famous families and sects had to avoid Quanxing at that time.

The mighty iron fists from the two generations of heroic rulers of the Ming Dynasty also taught many sects in the world of extraordinary people a lesson, which led to what Zhang Zhiwei said just now.

"I am very cautious. If I were not, I would have been a scoundrel who wanted to kill the emperor, and I wouldn't be able to sit here and drink and chat with you all. But no matter how cautious I am, there are some things that I have to do when I am in a situation. It's not a question of whether I can do it or not, but a choice that I have to make! My idea is very simple, that is, I want to kill those who have made this world like this, one by one!

As for the fact that Yi Ren does not take part in state affairs, if that is true, then why do Yan Wu Tang and Ji Yun She want to take root in the capital? And why do they wander among the dignitaries to seek a job as a guard? "

Wang Yi smiled and broke the tacit understanding between the various schools in the world of extraordinary people, which made Zhang Zhiwei embarrassed.

Even the president of Jiyun Society, who was listening from a distance, couldn't help but cough a few times to hide his embarrassment in front of everyone.

But it was not just the president of Jiyun Society who was embarrassed at this time. The seniors present, even Zuo Ruotong, the Great Ying Immortal, could not escape the humiliation. His Sanyi Sect was not an isolated immortal sect, after all, it was rooted in the secular world. People always had to eat, and to eat, they had to learn to compromise and judge the situation.

But it was not so easy for Wang Yi's peers who were sitting together.

The tacit understanding was broken, which made the young generation feel disillusioned as if their filters were shattered. Wang Yi could understand this, after all, who would not have thought that what happened later was beyond their imagination? The older generation just thought it was another change of dynasty.

The older generation’s ideas are deeply rooted, and Wang Yi doesn’t dare to expect them to accomplish anything grand. It would be best if they could distinguish right from wrong on major issues.

But if one of these peers of his generation can figure it out in advance and stand on his side, it will be of great help to what he will do later.

For example, the simplest one is the righteous alliance that was spontaneously formed when the country was in crisis. Sometimes the effect of forming an alliance due to the situation and forming it with someone taking the lead is very different.

But these are too far away, so Wang Yi can only take it step by step.

Fortunately, time is on his side for the time being.

"What about you, Senior Brother Wang? Since you have so much resentment towards the world, don't you have any thoughts on this?"

Listening to the question from Lu Ren, the eldest son of the Lu family, Wang Yi smiled and said, "I was waiting for this question from you! If you don't ask, how can I show you the dagger I hid in the map of Yan State?"

"I have such thoughts? If I say no, you will definitely not believe me, after all, I am alone. But as for these people in the north, since you have heard my story, you should know that I have a deep hatred for them. Are they worthy of me having any thoughts about them? If sometimes it is necessary for the general situation, even if I hate them, I will still help them when I see them, because it is more useful for them to be alive for a while than to die immediately. But if we talk about traveling together, who knows, I may be the one to send them off on their journey to the underworld in the future."

That’s enough of what I have said. The remaining blank space should be left for them to fill in themselves.

Everyone here is smart. The good thing about talking to smart people is to stop when you need to, and they will fill in the rest themselves.

Because Wang Yi had already left an impression on these peers through his own story and the previous competition with Zhang Zhiwei.

A poor man who was forced by the world to make a living by following Quan Xing's disciples, a practitioner who realized his true nature early on, a smart man who had no worries but a lot in his heart.

These labels that have been attached to him intentionally or unintentionally will become bullets hitting the brains of his peers, leaving them to find the answers themselves.

This is Wang Yi’s advantage, he understands the personalities of his peers.

Especially the only girl among these peers, Guan Shihua.

She is a disciple of the lineage of warriors from outside the Great Wall. As a native of outside the Great Wall, Guan Shihua understands best what life outside the Great Wall was like and how many hardships it had experienced during the nearly 100 years from the late Qing Dynasty to the end of the Republic of China.

Seeing that everyone seemed to be thinking about something, Wang Yi knew that too much is as bad as too little, so he stopped talking.

He just silently took the wine jar from Liang Ting and poured wine into his own bowl.

This was the first time he drank so much wine since he had achieved success in cultivation. Although the wine was good, it could not make him drunk.

A bonfire was burning nearby, illuminating the flickering expressions on the faces of a group of peers who were drinking around the bonfire.

Wang Yi drank without saying much. The older generation in the distance also stopped toasting each other due to the heavy topic raised by Wang Yi.

After a long while, Zhang Tianshi also looked at Zuo Ruotong meaningfully. At this time, he finally understood why Zuo Ruotong had suggested that the older generation should stay away and give the young people some space. It turned out that he was setting a stage for Wang Yi.

Zuo Rutong ignored Zhang Tianshi's gaze and drank as if nothing had happened.

The silence between Wang Yi and the older generation at this moment was the theme of the Lu family’s birthday banquet in the second half of the night.

Wang Yi's brief words aroused thoughts in everyone's mind. The older generation thought about the past, while the younger generation thought about the future. After all, they all had to take over the mantle from the older generation.

Only Zhang Zhiwei was sitting cross-legged with his hands tucked into his sleeves. His natural aura of a cultivator made him look like an immortal banished from the mortal world. He was re-examining Wang Yi who was drinking from the bowl in front of him.

Time passed little by little, and Wang Yi finished his drink. The second half of the night was still very long.

Wang Yi stood up, stretched, and yawned, breaking the silent atmosphere in the second half of the night.

"Everyone, it's late, let's go back and rest. I just hope that when we meet again someday, we can still drink like we did tonight, and not become strangers because of our current positions."

As he said that, Wang Yi was about to leave, but was stopped by Lu Jin.

"Brother, you haven't told me your next plan yet."

"My next plan is to go back to the capital and see if I can find my old friends. For the time being, I can only do what I want to do in the capital."

Wang Yi was talking about his next itinerary. Having put his plan to go south on hold, he could only go north first and start planning for the next two years.

　I will go to Sanjiang at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. I really need to read, collect, recommend and vote for it.
