Ten states

"Walking with beauty, sailing on the ocean, to enjoy the endless novel scenery between the world, this is one of my childhood dreams. Not bad, not bad."

Hearing Xiaoxia's words, Nangong Wuji smiled slightly: "But are you sincere? You should also know what this omnipotent amulet is. This kind of innate treasure does not come out in a hundred years. Compared with this object, it is also somewhat inferior. Zhang Daoling used this object to help him comprehend Taoism and create a situation of Zhengyi Sect for hundreds of years. Haven't you thought about using it to do something earth-shattering? ?”

"I don't want to, thank God if I can have less trouble." Xiao Xia shook her head.Of course, he also knows that this universal talisman is infinitely useful, even among countless rivers and lakes rumors, it is also the top treasure.It's just that he also knows the truth of the crime of Huaibi. The Suzaku spiritual fire he and Tang Qingxiao saw before was the innate treasure of the five elements, and just like that, it also destroyed the Tianhuo faction, who was amazingly talented Tang Justice dies.This Universal True Talisman, which is closer to the origin of the Dao, is more precious and rare, and naturally more troublesome and dangerous.He also heaved a long sigh: "Boy, I'm used to being free and easy, so I never thought of doing something earth-shattering. There are too many people in this world who are stronger than me and more ambitious than me. Generals, members of the Tang family, Master Zhang Tianshi of Longhushan Mountain, Mr. Wuji and Mr. Wuji from your family... are all things I can't afford to offend. If there is a way to get out this talisman, I would rather hand it over with drums and gongs Giving it to these people will not cause trouble in my own hands. So I simply ran to Yingzhou to hide. If it is not too far away and too dangerous, I plan to simply go to Nao where Mr. Arguris came. Luo Dazhou will forget it."

"Hasn't Zhang Yuanling looked for you?" Nangong Wuji suddenly asked.

Xiao Xia was taken aback.Then he nodded: "Yes, he just came to me just now. It turns out...he came here for Mr. Wuji?"

"Yes. He has something to ask of me. Due to his own status, he doesn't want to come to visit with great fanfare. After knowing that I came to Qingzhou, he followed me all the way." Nangong Wuji nodded. "I guess the conditions he offered you are not bad? Are you not tempted?"

"Being a beggar for three years, the emperor doesn't want to do it. His stuff sounds good, but I really think it's just a lot of trouble..." Xiao Xia smiled wryly and summed up the conversation with Zhang Tianshi before. said.

"I don't know what it's like to be a rotten rat... This kind of people can occupy a high position, which is also the reason why this torrent of humanity is gradually waiting. I heard that after the Wanyou Zhenfu fell into your hands, I was also worried that you were young and impulsive, and you couldn't think for a while. Zhou, maybe you will be bewitched by others. But I am relieved to see you and Miss Mingyue like this with my own eyes. What you want to do is exactly what you really want to do. You are fine, both of you are fine " Nangong Wuji took a deep look at Xiaoxia and Mingyue, and after pondering for a while, he said: "Then you are delaying here because you are waiting for a sea boat?"

"Yes. The people from the Shenshui Palace need to guard the waterway to avoid the wind and waves when the ship goes out to sea, so it is only after a period of time that enough ships are gathered before going out to sea. It may take five or six days before the ship can sail. .”

"In this way... If you are in a hurry to leave, I will ask Zi Zhuo to talk to the people in Xuanshui Palace, see if I can give you a little earlier, and leave tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. How about it?"

"This..." Xiao Xia didn't quite understand.People of the Five Elements School have always been notoriously difficult to manage, even Shenshui Palace is the most worldly among them.The same is true for the school that is the easiest to speak and the most convenient for others. The rules set by their own family are extremely difficult to accommodate, and they cannot be settled with money and affection like ordinary Jianghu sects.

Of course, if you sincerely ask for it.In terms of Liu Junfeng's Zhou Zhimu's face, this is not a big deal, most of it can be accommodated, and Xiao Xia is even escorted on board the ship in advance.If Nangong Wuji asked Liu Junfeng to talk to Shenshui Palace.Of course it should be fine.If she could get such help during the few days she just stayed in Luoshui City, Xiao Xia would of course agree happily.It's a pity that it's only a few days, especially the most dangerous and troublesome things have almost been resolved.At this time, it seems that there is no need to go to Shenshui Palace.

"A place of right and wrong, one day is a day away sooner." Nangong Wuji said lightly. "Especially if you are carrying a rare treasure, you also know the reason why you are guilty of carrying a jade. And..."

Nangong Wuji suddenly kept silent, bowed his head and pondered.His long gray eyebrows were slightly frowned, and the wrinkles on his forehead and between his brows were squeezed together. In this study, it was the first time for him to show such a dignified and hesitant expression.This made Xiao Xia feel a little surprised.

After a long while, Nangong Wuji slowly said: "Zihan speaks his fate, he doesn't talk about strange powers, and he doesn't care about it, because it's useless to talk about these things. If you can understand, you don't need to explain it. If you don't understand No matter how you say it, you can only misinterpret it in your own way. But this matter is related to you, and I am also half-knowledge and half-believing, so let’s just listen to it.”

Xiao Xia hurriedly cupped her hands: "Mr. Wuji please guide me."

Nangong Wuji thought for a while, but asked first: "Then let me ask you first, do you trust the theory of heaven and luck?"

Xiao Xia froze, this was the best answer, but also the worst answer.It seems that all the things in the world can be pushed to these two things, or one thing, but this thing is the most unpredictable, no matter how good a master of fortune is, it is impossible to grasp everything, even Borrowing the power of the stupa, there is no Huiguang old monk who can see through the law of karma. You must know that it can almost be regarded as the most top-notch magic in the world about fate and karma.

The so-called one who is good at change does not know. There is also a saying in the Tao Te Ching that the knowledge is the flower of the way, and the beginning of foolishness is all saying that even if there is luck in this day, even if you can figure it out, you'd better not pay attention to it. .

Xiaoxia thought for a while, and answered honestly: "I believe, I don't believe it. The law of heaven circulates endlessly. Naturally, there is a law of cause and effect that cannot be countered by human beings. But if you want to pin everything on it, do nothing and just wait. The number of days is also impossible. What should I do or do? Simply put, I just do my best to listen to the destiny."

"Although it is simple to say, it is not easy to do it. Heaven is vigorous. A gentleman strives for self-improvement. If you really have this awareness, you will be the best if you have this mind." Nangong Wuji nodded.The expression looked quite relieved, and after thinking about it, he said: "This is a true talisman. In terms of Taoism, it is the evolution of the Dao of Heaven and Earth, which naturally brings together the luck of heaven and earth. In terms of Buddhism, it is a mandala The fruit of Bodhi, which is close to the great day Tathagata, is also manifested by the mechanism of the universe. Although there is no document record, Zhang Daoling himself never said it, and he did not leave notes or books, but I always feel that, Once this thing appears in the world, it will naturally cause the world to change, and countless karma will be added to it. Or this thing will appear just when the wind is surging."

"Hundreds of years ago, when the previous dynasty was not established, the princes separatist regimes were everywhere, and monsters and beasts frequently appeared. The barrenness of the land of China is beyond the imagination of today's people. With the help of this universal talisman, Zhang Daoling comprehends Taoism, In the wild land of Jingnan, a piece of paradise was opened up. Li Zhengyi taught to subdue the people and win the hearts of the people. He made great contributions. Even later, the former dynasty established itself. Zhengyijiao and Zhang Daoling also contributed a lot in it, otherwise the previous dynasty would reject all schools of thought If you only respect Confucianism, how can you only confer the Zhang family's hereditary celestial master as the leader of Zhengyi?"

"But today there are many chaos in the world, and the turbulent waves will show even more momentum than before the establishment of the previous dynasty. The Shuntian God Sect seems to be destroyed. In fact, the seeds of 'no reason for heaven, following human desires' have spread to the hearts of the world, humanity' The poison of killing, prostitution, stealing, and lying can be seen everywhere. The relative peace of the past few decades is just a moment of calm before the storm. With the awakening of the Sidi wolf god, all the hidden undercurrents will burst out .You are carrying a rare treasure, and most likely you will have great luck and great luck with you. Maybe you will become one of the whirlpools in the turbulent waves of the past..."

"If you have ambitions, it would be best if you want to do a great cause for the world like Zhang Daoling... But judging from your past experience, I can guess that you don't have such thoughts. If you really do Well, that can only show that you, like a very talented young man I knew before, were bewitched and distorted your heart. Fortunately, you didn't. You really wanted to get out of this situation. It can be regarded as the best result. You were right before, Ye Hongshan, the Tang family...these are far stronger than you, and there are many existences who can control the changes of the situation. If you are not careful, you will be reduced to Other people's pawns, if they are involved and immersed in this torrent of humanity, they will become more and more involuntary."

"Of course, if it is really determined by the number of days and luck, my words are nothing but worrying about the sky, and what I have done is futile, and it is even just a part of the change of the number of days and I don't know it. But I can only do this Do it like this, say it like this. Daoist Qingfeng, if you have no intention of stepping into this muddy water, you'd better stay away as soon as possible."

"Yes, then I would like to thank Mr. Wuji." Xiao Xia cupped her hands in salute.

"Well, I also thank Mr. Wuji. You are such a good person." Mingyue also nodded beside her.

"Seeing the two of you like this, I feel relieved." Nangong Wuji nodded, looked deeply at the two of them, and said the words again with great relief.

When Xiao Xia went to find Aguris and Minks again, she met Minks and Tianhe Gui walking out of the restaurant arranged by Liu Junfeng full of food and drink.The waiter at the entrance of the restaurant still looked at the two big men with eyes like sizing up monsters, while a few handymen inside were struggling to carry away a large number of dishes and wine jars.

"Very good, very good! Minx feels full of strength and energy again! This is the best day I have felt since I came to the Western Continent! I feel the friendliness of the people of the Western Continent and the greatness of the Western Continent culture! "Minks patted his swollen belly and clinked, looking extremely happy. "It's just that their meat can be made into bigger pieces, it's better, it's a little troublesome to use a fork."

"This barbarian man ate almost a sheep and half a pig. I can't compare to this amount of food." The Tianhe ghost was picking his teeth beside him, and he seemed to have eaten and drank a lot along the way.

In contrast, the old man Argulis on one side was not in high spirits, and he was not so gloomy, but more dignified.When he saw Xiao Xia coming, he stepped forward and said, "Thank you Mr. Xia for helping us these days, but we have to leave."

"Oh? Is Mr. Aguris leaving for the capital?" Xiao Xia was not too surprised.The old man Argulis was originally an envoy from a foreign country, and he came to the mainland of China with the diplomatic responsibilities of his principality and church. It is inevitable to enter Beijing.Especially seeing Nangong Wuji now.After solving the speech barrier again, there is no reason to stay in Qingzhou anymore.

"Since this period of time, Mr. Xia, we will always remember your help to us, and you will be my forever friend. I know that you are about to go to sea. If you have the opportunity to go to Euro Continent in the future, you must go to the Temple of the Sun Take a visit, and hope that your spells and wisdom can inspire the priests there." The old man Arguris took out a small badge, and in the sun surrounded by flames was the head of an old man, the sun god he believed in. Amanda. "This is the emblem of Amanta. If you have any difficulties or doubts, please show it to the priests of the temple. They will do their best to help you."

"As for me and Knight Minx, first we will go to your capital to meet your Emperor, and complete the diplomatic tasks assigned to me by the duke. Then I will go to the Royal Academy to study the classics of Confucianism. After that, I will visit the Pure Land of Buddhism Chanyuan, I heard that the true god believed by that sect is very powerful and wise, and the classics left behind are also very profound. We will continue to travel on this land, hoping to find more sages and see more foreign cultures and knowledge. I hope it can answer the questions in my heart. In the words of that Nangong Wuji sage, I am going to find the truth and justice in my heart."

"Yes, thank you for your trust. If I have the opportunity, I will definitely visit Euro Continent." Xiao Xia solemnly accepted the Sun God Badge with both hands.This badge is not only exquisitely carved.Moreover, the whole place is slowly emitting faint sunlight, and the real fire of the sun is flickering faintly, which is obviously infused with divine arts. "However, there may be a lot of turmoil in the Daqian Dynasty recently. You and the Minks knights must be careful on the road. If possible, you must ask His Majesty the Emperor to send a few guards who are familiar with folk affairs to go with you."

"No danger can stop my determination to seek truth and justice, but I also know that Mr. Xia's suggestion must be very reasonable. I will make such a request to His Majesty the Emperor."

Xiao Xia nodded.Although today's undercurrents in the Dagan world are not peaceful.But the old man Aguris and Minks are by no means masters that ordinary forces and thieves can provoke. They are really like the powerful Tang family.He acted with great discretion, and Argulis was just an envoy from a foreign country who simply came to study and seek the Tao.There is no interest involved, so naturally it will not fall into the eyes of these people.If Yingshanwei sent a few experienced Jianghu to walk together, with the strength of Aguris and Minks, it should be no problem to walk the Jianghu.

"Oh, do we have to leave? My lord. It's a pity. I feel like I just got a taste of the culture of this city." The conversation between Xiao Xia and the old man Aguris was in Oro, and Minks on the side heard it With a look of regret, he patted his swollen belly. "But you don't have to worry about my loyalty. No matter where you decide to go, I will swear to follow you and protect you. I also believe that the culture in other places will be just as good."

"There are also great galaxy warriors. It is a pity that I have to say goodbye to you. I have enjoyed practicing with you during this time. You have taught me a lot of mysteries of martial arts in the Western Continent." Minks walked to Tianhe In front of the ghost, he patted him on the shoulder with emotion.

This time, Minks' words were translated by Argulis for him. After hearing this, Tianhe Ghost was also slightly taken aback: "Why, is this man going to leave at last? It's a pity...these days are really bad. It's enjoyable, but it will not be easy to find another sandbag that can be beaten and endured in the future..."

"Galaxy warrior, you are a powerful fighter, but your fighting spirit is weak because of the lack of faith. Believe me, only when you accept the guidance of the gods, your strength will be truly displayed. I am looking forward to seeing you become stronger In the future, if you have a chance, you must feel more about the brilliance of the great Amanta, and recall more about my guidance to you..."

"This barbarian never forgets to tell others how good that barbarian is..." The Tianhe ghost sneered, turned to look at Xiao Xia, hesitated and asked: "Xia, are you leaving too? "

Xiaoxia nodded: "Mr. Wuji, help me to talk to the people in Shenshui Palace, and I will probably be able to set off for the sea tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

Tianhe Ghost pondered silently for a while, and said: "There is always a banquet in the world. During this period of time, I have gotten along well with you and this barbarian, and I also accept your kindness. If this barbarian hadn't been messing around, at the critical moment With your help, I can only hide around like a gopher, not daring to see the light of day. How can I imagine that I can work under Mr. Liu's tent, and one day I can hear the teachings of Mr. Wuji... I don't want too many Having said that, tonight I will set up wine at the Chunfeng Building, everyone come to drink for the last night, and you will not return if you are not drunk!"

"Well, I also want to drink tonight. I am also very happy today." Holding Xiao Xia's hand, Mingyue said suddenly.Her cheeks were reddish, her starry eyes twinkled, it was rare to show such a joyful look, and she was even more charming and unparalleled, Xiao Xia was a little lost in thought for a while.

In the study, Nangong Wuji was resting with his eyes closed.It has been a long time since he said so many words like today, and spent so much energy, which made him feel the long-lost fatigue.After all, he has a disability, and he is already old, so he rushed to this Luoshui City and never rested.

But his heart is also relaxed and at ease that he hasn't seen for a long time.It's always reassuring to be able to take care of something that has been on my mind and see for myself that it doesn't deteriorate as much as feared.

A burst of subtle and orderly footsteps came to the door of the study, and then there was a slight creak of the study door opening.Without opening his eyes, Nangong Wuji knew who was coming, and asked, "What's the matter? Are everything arranged?"

"Yes. Tomorrow, I will trouble my eldest brother to inspect the newly established Tiangong Workshop. Zhang Tianshi will wait there." The brocade robed man standing not far away replied respectfully.This is Nangong Wuwei who succeeded Nangong Wuji's Deputy Commander, and only he can walk in here without hindrance.

"Yes. I see." Nangong Wuji nodded.

"...Brother." Nangong Wuwei hesitated for a moment, before asking: "Are you really going to let those two go? You also know that these two people are very important now. If you can control them, or win them over On our side, that is a huge bargaining chip. No matter what we do next, and whoever we cooperate with, our confidence will be much greater."

Nangong Wuji opened his eyes, looked at Nangong Wuwei in front of him with a half-smile, and said lightly: "You are not a businessman, nor a gambler, so why should you care about the bargaining chips and certainty."

Nangong Wuwei showed embarrassment and said, "But these two people really..."

"It's better to take it from the straight than to ask it from the song. The two of them want to leave by themselves, so why do you force them to stay. There are enough storms and waves in the world, without them in it Maybe it's easier to control. You are leading Yingshanwei for the sake of the world, so don't put your mind on these tricks."

Nangong Wuwei raised his head and wanted to say something, but Nangong Wuji closed his eyes again, so he also had to bow his head in response: "Yes." (To be continued...)
