¡°It was one of my childhood dreams to take beautiful women with me and go boating on the ocean to see the endless novel scenery between heaven and earth. ¡è Yes, yes.¡±
Listening to Xiao Xia's words, Nangong Wuji smiled slightly: "But are you sincere? You should also know what this universal talisman is. Such innate treasures will not be produced for hundreds of years. Even if the innate five-element spiritual objects that the Five Elements Sect is searching for, Compared with this thing, it is a bit inferior. Zhang Daoling could use this thing to help him understand Taoism and create the Zhengyi Sect for hundreds of years. Haven't you ever thought about using it to do some earth-shattering things? ?¡±
"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 has endless magical uses, and it is the top treasure even among countless rumors in the world. But he also knew that holding a jade was a crime. The Suzaku Spirit Fire he and Tang Qingxiao had seen before was the innate treasure of the Five Elements. Just like that, the whole Sky Fire Sect was wiped out, and the amazing and talented Tang A just death. This universal true talisman, which is closer to the origin of the great avenue, is more precious and rare, and naturally more troublesome and dangerous. He also let out a long sigh: "Boy, I'm used to being free, so I never thought about doing anything earth-shattering. There are many people in this world who are more powerful than me and have ambitions like me. Generals, people from the Tang family, Master Zhang Tianshi of Longhu Mountain, and Master Wuji of your family before Mr. Wuji I can't afford to offend them. If there is a way to take out this universal talisman, I would rather hand it over with gongs and drums. If I give it to these people, I will not fall into my own hands and cause trouble. So I simply ran to Yingzhou to hide. If it were not too far away and too dangerous, I also planned to go to the place where Mr. Argulis came from. Luo Dazhou, forget it."
"Hasn't Zhang Yuanling looked for you?" Nangong Wuji suddenly asked.
Xiao Xia was stunned. Then he nodded: "Yes, he just came to see me before. Sohe came here for Mr. Wuji?"
"Yes. He has something to ask of me. Due to his own status, it is difficult for him to come and 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 good, right? Are you not tempted?"
"Being a beggar for three years, the emperor doesn't want to do it. His things sound good, but I really think they are just a lot of trouble" Xiaoxia smiled bitterly and summarized the conversation he had with Zhang Tianshi before. said.
"I don't know what it's like to be a rotten rat People like this can hold high positions, which is why this torrent of humanity is gradually coming down. After I heard that the True Talisman of All Things fell into your hands, I was also worried that you were young and impulsive and could not think about it for a while. Zhou, maybe you may be influenced by others. But seeing you and Miss Mingyue like this with my own eyes makes me relieved. What you want to do is exactly what you really want to do. You are very good, and both of you are very good. ." Nangong Wuji took a deep look at Xiao Xia and Mingyue, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Then you are delayed here because you are waiting for the ship, right?"
"Yes. When a sea-going ship goes to sea, people from Shenshui Palace need to guard the waterway to avoid wind and waves, so they have to gather enough sea-going ships after a period of time before they go out to sea. Calculating, it will take about five or six days before the ship can sail. .¡±
"Wellif you are in a hurry to leave, I will ask Zi Zhuo to talk to the people in Xuanshui Palace to see if I can help you in advance and leave tomorrow or the day after. What do you think?"
"This" Xiaoxia didn't quite understand. The people of the Five Elements Sect have always been notoriously difficult to manage, even the Shenshui Palace is considered the most worldly among them. The same is true for the one who speaks best and is most convenient for others. The rules they set are extremely difficult to accommodate, and they cannot be settled with affection and money like ordinary Jianghu sects.
Of course, if you really ask for it. Judging from Liu Junfeng's reputation, this is not a big deal. Most of the time, he can be accommodating and escort Xiao Xia on the ship in advance or even specially. If Nangong Wuji asked Liu Junfeng to go to Shenshui Palace to discuss the issue. Of course it should be no problem. If she could get such help during the few days she just stayed in Luoshui City, Xiaoxia would of course be happy to agree. It's a pity that it only lasted a few days, especially when almost all the most dangerous and troublesome things were solved. At this time, it seems that there is no need to go to Shenshui Palace.
¡°It¡¯s only a day that we can leave this place of right and wrong.¡± Nangong Wuji said lightly. "Especially if you are pregnant with a rare treasure, you also know the reason why you are guilty of carrying it. And"
Nangong Wuji suddenly fell silent, lowered his head and began to ponder. His long gray eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and the wrinkles on his forehead and between his eyebrows were squeezed together. This was the first time in this study that he showed such a solemn and hesitant look. This also surprised Xiaoxia.
After a long while, Nangong Wuji slowly said: "Zi Han talks about destiny, does not talk about strange powers, confuses the gods, and ignores them. It is because these things are useless even if they are discussed. If you can understand it, you will not need to explain it. If you can't understand it, you will understand it. No matter how you say it, you can only sing it in your own way.untie. But this matter is related to you, and I am half-informed, half-believing, and half-doubtful. If I say it, you should just listen to it. "
Xiao Xia quickly handed over her hand: "Please give me some advice, Mr. Wuji."
Nangong Wuji thought for a while, but asked first: "Then let me ask you first, do you believe in the theory of heaven and luck?"
Xiao Xia was stunned for a moment, this was both the best answer and the worst answer. Everything in the world seems to be attributed to these two things, or one thing, but this thing is the most elusive. No matter how brilliant a fortune teller is, it is impossible to grasp everything. Borrowing the power of the stupa, there is no wise old monk who can see through the law of cause and effect. You must know that it is almost the most advanced magical power about fate and cause and effect in the world.
It is said that those who are good at change do not predict. There is also a saying in the Tao Te Ching about the flower of knowledge and the beginning of foolishness. They all say that even if there is luck in the sky, even if you can figure it out, you'd better not pay attention to it. .
Xiao Xia thought for a while and answered honestly: "I don't believe it, I don't believe it either. Heaven's laws are endless, and nature has its own laws of cause and effect that cannot be countered by human beings. But if you want to put everything on it, do nothing and just wait. It¡¯s impossible to count the number of days. I¡¯ll do whatever I have to do. To put it simply, I just do my best to obey fate.¡±
"Although it is simple to say, it is not easy to do. Heaven moves vigorously. A gentleman strives to constantly strive for self-improvement. If you really have this awareness and your character, that would be the best." Nangong Wuji nodded. His expression looked quite pleased, and after thinking for a while he said: "This is the true talisman of all things. From the perspective of Taoism, it is the evolution of the great road of heaven and earth, and it naturally brings together the destiny of heaven and earth. From the perspective of Buddhism, it is a mandala. The fruit of Bodhi, which is close to the Great Sun Tathagata, is also manifested by the mechanism of the universe. Although there is no documented record, Zhang Daoling himself never said it, and he did not leave any notes or books, but I always feel that, Once this thing appears in the world, it will naturally cause changes in the world, and countless causes and effects will occur. In other words, this thing just appears when the storm is surging."
"Hundreds of years ago, when the previous dynasty was not established, the feudal lords were separatist and the land was full of wars. Monsters and beasts appeared frequently, and the people were in dire straits. The desolation of the land of China was beyond the imagination of today's people. With the help of this universal talisman, Zhang Daoling understood the Taoism. In the wild land of Jingnan, a piece of paradise was created. He established the Zhengyi Sect to subjugate the people and win the hearts of the people, which was a great achievement. Even the former dynasty later established itself. The Zhengyi Sect and Zhang Daoling also contributed a lot in it, otherwise the previous dynasty would have dismissed hundreds of schools. If you only respect Confucianism, how can you only confer the position of hereditary heavenly master of the Zhang family as the leader of the Zhengyi Cult?"
"Today, the world is full of chaos, and the storms and waves will become even more powerful than before the establishment of the previous dynasty. The Shuntian Divine Sect seems to be destroyed. In fact, the seeds of 'having no laws of heaven and following human desires' have spread to the hearts of the world and humanity." The poison of killing, prostitutes, thieves, and lies can be seen everywhere. The relative peace in the past few decades is just a moment of quiet before the storm. With the awakening of the West Di Wolf God, all the hidden undercurrents will burst out. . If you are carrying a rare treasure, you will most likely have great opportunities and great luck to carry it with you. Maybe you will become one of the whirlpools in the stormy waves of the past"
"If you are ambitious and want to do something great for the world like Zhang Daoling, then it would be best But judging from your past experience, I can guess that you will not have such thoughts. If you really do, Yes, that can only mean that you, like a very talented young man I knew before, were bewitched and distorted your true intentions. Fortunately, you didn't. You really want to get out of this storm. For you, this is This can be regarded as the best result. You were right before, Ye Hongshan, the Tang family there are many beings who are far more powerful than you and can control the changes in the situation. If you are not careful, you will become If someone else's chess piece is involved and immersed deeper in this torrent of humanity, the more it will be out of control."
"Of course, if it is really determined by the number of days and luck, my words are just groundless worries. What I have done is unnecessary and futile. It is even just a part of the changes in the number of days and I don't know it. But this is all I can do. That's it. Taoist Master Qingfeng, if you have no intention of getting involved in this muddy water, you'd better stay away as soon as possible."
"Yes, thank you very much, Mr. Wuji." Xiaoxia bowed her hands in salute.
"Well, thank you too, Mr. Wuji. You are such a good person." Mingyue also nodded.
"I feel relieved to see you two like this." Nangong Wuji nodded, his eyes looked deeply at the two of them, and he said these words again with great relief.

When Xiaoxia went to find Argulis and Minx again, she met Minx and Tianhe Gui walking out of the restaurant arranged by Liu Junfeng with a full meal. The waiter at the door of the restaurant was looking at the two big men like he was sizing up monsters, while several handymen inside were struggling to carry away piles of dishes and wine jars.
¡°Very good, very good! Minx feels full of strength and energy again! This is meThis is the best day since arriving in the Western Continent! I feel the friendliness of the people of the Western Continent and the greatness of the Western Continent¡¯s culture! Minx patted his bulging belly and made a sound, looking very happy. "It would be better if their meat could be made into larger pieces. It would be a little troublesome to fork it with a fork." "
"This savage man ate almost a sheep and half a pig. I can't compare to this amount of food." Tianhe Ghost was picking his teeth next to him, and it seemed that he also ate and drank a lot.
In comparison, the old man Agulis on one side was not in high spirits, and he was not gloomy, but he was much more solemn. When he saw Xiao Xia coming, he stepped forward and said, "Thank you very much, Mr. Xia, for helping us these days, but we have to leave."
"Oh? Is Mr. Argulis leaving for the capital?" Xiaoxia was not too surprised. The old man Agulis was originally an envoy to a foreign country. He came to the mainland of China with the diplomatic responsibilities of the principality and the church to which he belonged, so it was inevitable to come to Beijing. Especially now that I have seen Nangong Wuji. After solving the speech barrier, there is no reason to stay in Qingzhou anymore.
"We will always remember your help to us, Mr. Xia, during this time. You will be my forever friend. I know you are about to go to sea. If you have the opportunity to go to Euroland in the future, you must go to the Sun Temple Take a visit, I hope your magic and wisdom can inspire the priests there." The old man Agulis took out a small badge. In the sun surrounded by flames was the head of an old man, who was the sun god he believed in. Amenta. "This is the divine emblem of Amanta. If you have any difficulties or questions, please show it to the priests of the temple. They will try their best to help you."
"As for Knight Minx and I, first we will go to your capital to meet your Emperor and complete the diplomatic mission entrusted to me by the Duke. Then I will go to the Royal Academy to study Confucian classics. After that, we will visit the Pure Land of Buddhism. Zen Yuan, I heard that the true god believed in 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 visit more sages and see more foreign cultures and knowledge. I hope it can answer the questions in my heart. In the words of the sage Nangong Wuji, 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 Euroland." Xiaoxia solemnly accepted the Sun God badge with both hands. This badge is not only exquisitely carved but also exquisitely crafted. Moreover, the whole thing is slowly emitting a faint sunlight, and the real sun fire is faintly flashing, which is obviously filled with divine magic. "However, there may be a lot of turmoil in the Daqian Dynasty recently. You and the Minx Knight 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 accompany you."
"No danger can stop my determination to seek truth and justice, but I also know that your suggestion, Mr. Xia, must be very reasonable. I will make such a request to His Majesty the Emperor."
Xiaoxia nodded. Although the current undercurrents in Daqian world are not peaceful. But Old Man Agulis and Minx are definitely not masters that ordinary forces and thieves can afford to offend. They are really like a powerful force like the Tang family with a cloud of masters. He acted with great discretion and consideration, and Agulis was just an envoy from a foreign country who came simply to learn and seek knowledge. There is no interest involved, so naturally he will not fall into the eyes of these people. If there are several experienced people from the Shadow Shirt Guards sect walking together, with the strength of Argulis and Minx, there should be no problem in walking in the world.
"Oh, do we have to leave? Sir. It's such a pity. I feel like I have just appreciated the culture of this city." The conversation between Xiaoxia and the old man Agulis was in European. Minx heard it. Showing 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 follow you and protect you to the death. I also believe that the culture in other places will be just as good."
"And the great galactic warrior. I'm sorry to have to say goodbye to you. It's been a pleasure practicing with you during this period. You have taught me a lot of the secrets of the Western Continent's martial arts." Minx walked to Tianhe. In front of the ghost, he patted his shoulder with emotion.
Minx's words were translated by Agulis for him this time. Tianhe Ghost was slightly startled after hearing this: "Why, is this brute finally going to leave? It's a pity These days are indeed hard to fight. It¡¯s so enjoyable, but it won¡¯t be easy to find another punching bag that can be beaten and endured in the future"
"Galactic Warrior, you are a powerful warrior, but your fighting spirit is weak because of the lack of the power of faith. Believe me, only by accepting the guidance of the gods can your power be truly unleashed. I am looking forward to seeing you become even more powerful. In the future, if you have the opportunity, you must feel more about the glory of the great Amenta.?Recall My guidance to you¡±
"This barbarian never forgets to tell others how good the barbarian god is" Tianhe Ghost sneered, turned to look at Xiao Xia, hesitated and asked: "Xia, are you leaving too? "
Xiao Xia nodded: "Mr. Wuji, please help me negotiate with the people in Shenshui Palace. I think we can set off to sea tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
Tianhe Ghost pondered in silence for a long time, then said: "Every banquet in the world must come to an end. I have been getting along well with you and this barbarian these days, and I accept your great kindness. If it weren't for this barbarian's mischief, at the critical moment, With your help, I can only hide around like a ground mouse and dare not see the light of day. How can I imagine that I can work under Mr. Liu's account and one day listen to the teachings of Mr. Wuji I don't want to do more. As I said, I will serve wine at Chunfeng Pavilion tonight, everyone come and have a last night of drinking, and you won¡¯t come home until you¡¯re drunk!¡±
"Well, I also want to drink tonight. I'm very happy today too." Mingyue said suddenly, holding Xiao Xia's hand. Her cheeks were slightly red, her starry eyes were twinkling, and it was rare for her to show such an elated look. She was even more charming and charming, and Xiao Xia was in a trance for a moment.

In the study, Nangong Wuji is closing his eyes to rest. It had been a long time since he had said so many words and spent so much energy as he did today, which made him feel tired for a long time. After all, he was disabled and old, so he rushed to Luoshui City without rest.
But he also felt relaxed and at ease in his heart, which he had not seen for a long time. It is always reassuring to be able to deal with something that has been worrying me and see with my own eyes that it has not worsened 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, "How's it going? Are everything arranged?"
"Yes. I'll bother my brother to inspect the newly established Tiangong Workshop tomorrow. Master Zhang will be waiting there." The tall man in brocade robes standing not far away answered respectfully. This is Nangong Wuwei, who has succeeded Nangong Wuji as deputy commander, and only he can walk in here without any hindrance.
"Yeah. I understand." Nangong Wuji nodded.
"Brother." Nangong Wuwei hesitated for a moment, then asked: "Do you really want to let those two people go? You also know that the weight of these two people now is very important. If they can be controlled or won over, On our side, that is a huge bargaining chip. No matter what we do next or who we cooperate with, we will be much more confident."
Nangong Wuji opened his eyes, looked at Nangong Wuwei in front of him with a half-smile, and said calmly: "You are not a businessman, nor a gambler, so why should you care about chips or guarantees."
Nangong Wuwei looked embarrassed and said, "But these two people do"
"It's better to take it from the straight line than to ask for it from the straight line. The two of them want to leave, so why do you have to force them to stay? The storms that will arise in the world are already numerous, big, and chaotic, without them among them. Maybe it will be easier to control. You command the Shadow Guards for the sake of the world, so don¡¯t always focus on these tricks."
Nangong Wuwei raised his head and wanted to say something else, but Nangong Wuji closed his eyes again, and he had to lower his head and responded: "Yes." (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
