Liyue Taoist of Yuanshen

"I can't understand how bad yesterday's situation was, why you are indifferent."

Well, I wanted to relax, but the words I said were still not very polite.

Ouyang understood that he should be influenced by his emotions, but fortunately Zhongli still had a calm expression on his face, and he said in a flat tone when he was questioned.

"I didn't plan what happened yesterday, but it's not appropriate to say that it has nothing to do with me. After all, the current situation is what I want to see."

Just admit it so easily?

No, the "riot" of the people in Liyue Port, is this what you always want to see?

Hearing Zhongli's confession, Ouyang was surprised at first, and then he couldn't understand it even more. Could there be any good meaning in this matter?

It can't be that Qixing is "too idle" and not busy enough. Want to have an extreme stress test in Liyue Harbor?

"What is your purpose? In addition, in view of your actions, I think you should let someone else take the position of Tianshu. I have a bad heart, and I don't like this kind of work that needs to beware of backstabs from my own people."

Ouyang knew the follow-up plot in his mind, and also knew that the uncle would retire in suspended animation soon.

So he was mentally prepared for this matter, but he didn't expect that such a similar thing would happen before the uncle's suspended animation happened.

This made Ouyang feel extremely uncomfortable.

This leader is not a good person, and he scares his subordinates from time to time. Everyone feels that this job cannot be done.

Even knowing that the leader is about to retire, he can't do it!

Seeing Ouyang's swaying look, Zhongli said without changing his expression.

"The seat of Qixing is not so easy to retire. As for my purpose, it is to let Ningguang make a decision to revise Liyue's law."

Zhongli has been working on his own retirement plan, but if he really wants to retire, he doesn't just have to fake his death at a certain time like in the game plot.

His plan is advancing step by step, and it is only the first step at the moment.

To test whether Qixing really has the courage to veto his will. ——Liyue's ancient law is one of his wills.

So with his help, at a very small price, he got a satisfactory result.

Therefore, for Zhongli, the first step of his retirement plan has been successful, and it can be regarded as relatively perfect.

After Ouyang heard it, he instantly understood what the other party meant.

So there is foreplay in this retirement?

At this moment, Ouyang knew that he was conservative.

When I heard Ningguang want to change the law in the Qunyu Pavilion yesterday, I still felt that she was taking too big a step, so he had to work hard to explain Gan Yu's worries this morning.

In fact, the truth is that the uncle also had this idea.

Now that the words have been said here, Ouyang decided to open the topic directly.

"Do you want to retire?"

"Where did little friend Ouyang guess my thoughts?"

Seeing Zhong Li's suddenly serious eyes, Ouyang didn't hesitate at all, opened his eyes and said nonsense.

"I'm a Taoist priest, and I can tell divination."

"...There is indeed such an idea."

After pondering for a while, Zhongli still answered calmly.

He didn't know if Taoist priests could really tell fortunes, because he didn't know much about the inheritance of the end, so he believed it for the time being.

Not only that, but after thinking about it, Zhongli also understood that the loophole he left before allowed Ouyang to know his identity, making many things very easy to guess.

Although he and Ouyang didn't have much contact, they were involved in a lot of things. They didn't choose to hide their identities at the beginning, and dug a hole for what they are doing now.

"I think it's better for you not to retire. The human heart is complicated, although Qixing is indeed working hard for Liyue's prosperity.

But no one can guarantee that the Seven Stars in the future will also be like this.

Your existence can just make Seven Star restrain the ambition in his heart, it can be regarded as an insurance. "

Ouyang didn't speak fast, he finished speaking while thinking.

And since he wanted to speak out, he also said what was in his heart without reservation.

Unlike other people's speculation, Ouyang hoped that Morax would not retire.

Of course, there is a discrepancy between the specific idea and the current situation. Ouyang also hopes to be ruled by people, but because he knows that people's desires cannot be satisfied, he thinks that Qixing must have a shackle.

To put it simply, it is like the ancient times of the motherland in the previous life. The seven stars are the six ministers of the court or the prime minister or the cabinet. They are responsible for managing the country and handling various affairs.

It is a person who really does practical things.

And Morax is the emperor, he can completely ignore the matter, but he must not be without it!

Unrestricted and unsupervised power will inevitably lead to abuse and corruption!

And in this world where the ceiling of personal force is extremely high, it is unrealistic to simply rely on the common people to supervise Seven Stars.

A very simple example, now that Ouyang is a Seven Star, although he has not used his power for personal gain, he has a reputation in his heart.

He knows exactly what his weaknesses are,

If someone really hits his soft spot and wants him to make some concessions,

Ouyang can't guarantee that he can hold it.

So Lord Yan can be invisible, but not to the point of feigning death.

It's just that some things just can't be explained clearly.

Such as feigning death,

Ouyang couldn't explain why he was so clear about the uncle's plan.

Therefore, Ouyang can only remind the other party very tactfully.

It's a pity that Zhongli didn't know whether he didn't understand or understood, his answer was very thought-provoking.

"The seven gods of Tivat will not disappear. As long as the law of heaven is still there, seven gods will inevitably appear under the seven kingdoms."

What does this mean... a new Rock God will appear in Liyue?

Ouyang picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea a little irritably, and drank the gentle tea in one gulp.

"Can we say something that I can understand? Or this way, you just tell me what you want me to do. Don't always say something that needs to be guessed by me. This is not effective in communication!"

When Ouyang complained, Zhong Li's eyes changed when he saw him, as if he was thinking, and he didn't speak immediately.

Immediately afterwards, Ouyang suddenly felt a blur in front of his eyes, and when he saw it clearly, he realized that he had come to Tianheng Mountain.

The wind on the top of the mountain and the fresh air around made him feel less restless, but the sudden change in space made him unable to understand what the uncle meant.

Still holding the teacup from Heyu Teahouse in his hand, Ouyang who was still a little dazed looked at Zhongli suspiciously.

"Uh, what is this for?"

Zhong Li didn't answer, he stood aside, and looked at Liyue Port with his arms crossed, as if this city he had seen for countless years had something that he never tired of seeing.

After a while, Zhong Li asked.

"What do you think of Liyue Port now?"

"It's good. Liyue Port is always the place for countries to do cross-border trade. The people still live and work in peace and contentment. It's good."

"You think that the human heart is complicated, and Seven Stars must wear shackles, otherwise accidents will easily happen. But, isn't this just the choice of human beings?"

Having said that, Zhong Li turned to look at Ouyang, his tone still calm.

"I have guarded Liyue for thousands of years, but no matter how hard the rock is, it will inevitably be worn and contaminated by the long river of time, so I must leave.

You have also seen Ruo Tuo after being infected by wear and tear.

So for me, this is a very simple multiple choice question.

Liyue Port will be destroyed by me in the end, and it may be destroyed after human autonomy. Choose between.

Isn't the answer obvious enough?

Finally, judging from yesterday's small test, this year's Seven Stars have the courage I need.

So I don't think I have to stay. "

After finishing speaking, Zhong Li paused to give Ouyang time to digest the information,

Then he continued to add another sentence.

"I thought you would support me after you figured out my purpose, because when you faced your fate five years ago, didn't you do the same?"

Can we compare?

At that time, I just wanted to continue your family's bloodline and made a few preparations.

Your retirement affects the entire Liyue!

Ouyang rolled his eyes when he heard the words, pursed his lips and did not answer.

He knew in his heart that the uncle's words also showed from the side that he was determined to retire.

But Ouyang was very happy in his heart, the uncle finally spoke clearly, he was not such a riddler anymore!

He decided to strike while the iron was hot.

"Morax, five years ago I wanted to face my destiny, but I fell in front of the maintainer of the law of heaven, who finally saved me at that point in time across the millennium.

She said that because I am an outsider and the biggest variable in this world, various accidents will occur around me.

Originally, I thought that by dissipating all the power and lighting up my own life seat, I could be regarded as integrated into Tivat.

But recently I've found that no matter what I do, all kinds of accidents still happen.

Do you know why? "

"...There are always unexpected situations in life. Although it is indeed worth paying attention to, isn't this part of life?"

"No, through chatting with Gan Yu, I found that I was also infected by wear and tear!"

"Oh? Wear and tear is usually something that only long-lived creatures will encounter. Although it can be seen that you are considered to be a long-lived type now, but you are only in your 20s, so you shouldn't encounter this kind of thing?"

"I don't know. Since I woke up, there has always been a violent mood in my heart that I have to suppress. It consumes my energy.

So I guess, is Tianli trying to destroy me? "
