Chapter 16: There is no free lunch in the world
In the bedroom, a woman whose face is half human and half skull is sitting cross-legged on the couch.
Xiantian Wuyue, ranked seventh in the nine-day ranking set by Cangtian Temple, has a powerful man with unparalleled power in the entire heaven and earth, and is the actual ruler of tens of millions of people in Chaotian Palace... In Wang Lu's expectation
, this was supposed to be a heroic overlord, but what he saw in front of him was extremely different from what he expected.
The contrast. The legends about Wuyue all mentioned that the injuries she suffered in the Chaos War were never healed throughout her life. She thought they were just eye-catching scars, used as a medal of her lord to show off her martial arts, but unexpectedly this
Wuyue is really thorough in his work. The so-called sacrifice of half of his body is actually a literal meaning.
The right half of Wuyue's body is a complete body, but the left half is a skull and bones. The body is partially blocked by the dress, but the head is exposed. Wuyue's intact right eye is tightly closed, but the eye hole of the left skull is filled with blood.
The red light was shining, and the situation was extremely frightening. The honor alone was completely unexpected.
For Wang Lu, all unexpected situations are bad news. The other party is a real person who has experienced hundreds of battles, and his own illusions can theoretically be seen at a glance. Even because she is essentially in the realm of fairy dreams.
The creations are not as good as the real God Transformation, but they are still God Transformations after all. Before I came, I combined some of the remaining ones in the mustard bag.
The rare materials, coupled with the props bought at a high price from Cangtian City, have greatly strengthened the illusion. But whether it can be hidden from the eyes of the real person Huashen is still unknown. Without Li Yan's handwritten letter, Wang Lu would not have come rashly.
However, everything is basically based on precise planning. If an unexpected situation occurs... it will test the ability to adapt to changes.
Of course, Wang Lu also had this ability, so he entered the room calmly and greeted him with a smile.
What greeted him was Wuyue's hearty laughter.
"Are you the two little guys introduced by Li Yan? Haha, come and sit down."
Such a cordial gesture was even more unexpected. Wang Lu even wondered if there was a publicity specialist from her Chaotian Palace Temple in this bedroom? As long as the conversation in the bedroom was recorded, the article would be published tomorrow with the title: Sir Xiantian’s cordial meeting.
Reports from grassroots people to show Mr. Xiantian’s approachability.
But obviously there will be no other people waiting in Wuyue's bedroom. Even the highest-ranking maid in black in the One Black and Two Yellow sequence can only wait outside the door. It is obviously a very private meeting.
"There is no need to be restrained." Wuyue waited for Wang Lu and Liuli Xian to sit down on the futon and said, "Li Yan and I were once life-long friends. Although we haven't seen each other for decades, I always remember
Her favor. She said in the letter that you two are
Her new friends, Li Yan never makes friends easily. Since you can get her approval, it means you have my approval. I treat you as friends, so you don’t need to be restrained. Please put away those gifts. I don’t
I need a polite gift.”
After saying that, Wuyue restrained her smile slightly.
"Li Yan said in the letter, do you two have questions about spiritual practice that you want to ask me? Yes, in recent years, there are fewer and fewer people who have the sincerity and sincerity to cultivate immortality and seek Taoism, while there are more and more people who are obsessed with fame and wealth.
.”
Wang Lu just wanted to laugh after hearing this. How dare you, a standard bureaucratic politician like you, criticize others?
Wu Yue seemed to have understood what Wang Lu was thinking, and replied slowly: "To deal with all the affairs in the world, I will only use the dead body on the left side."
Wang Lu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Okay, I won't be polite. First of all, I want to ask... Do you want to understand the immortal way through the gathering of life and death?"
Wuyue heard the words and opened her right eye,
"No wonder Li Yan spoke highly of you in her letter. Those mediocre people only thought that I was showing off my scars, but they never thought that with my current status, who else would I need to show off to? You are right,
I have indeed used life and death to approach the path of immortality..."
As he said that, Wuyue suddenly laughed: "Other than that, what else can you see?"
"Life and death, yin and yang, black and white...all the contradictory but unified concepts should be reflected in you. The two halves of your body have put a lot of things on it. It should be said that this is you trying to use this method... to make up for it.
Congenital defect?"
Hearing this, Wuyue burst into laughter.
"Haha, that's well said. It's no wonder that a talent like you is living outside the Cangtian Temple system. That old theology cannot satisfy you."
Wang Luxin said, it's no wonder that you and Li Yan are close friends, but they haven't seen each other for decades. Compared with the lazy but pious Li Yan, you should be tied to the stake. But looking at it from another angle, if it weren't for this, you also
He is no longer qualified to control a big city like Chaotian Palace.
For an organization that is in charge of political power, idealists are not qualified to reach high positions.
After receiving Wu Yue's encouragement, Wang Lu said bluntly: "We are not perfect creatures. I think everything in the world is divided into two categories: Yin and Yang. Only we have no gender. When I asked Li Yan,
She only claimed that it was the will of heaven, but I disagreed and wanted to ask Mr. Wuyue, what is your opinion?"
"The will of heaven? Unexpectedly, after decades of not seeing each other, Li Yan has learned to deceive herself." Wuyue suddenly sneered, "How the immortal among men came to be, it's fine if others don't know, how can she not know? Or not?
Just admit it."
After saying that, Wu Yue closed her right eye and said in a deep voice: "You are right, human beings do have genders, and we are the more feminine side. In theory, there should be people who are similar to us.
The corresponding masculine side exists."
Wang Lu nodded and said: "As expected... But why did Cangtian Temple deliberately conceal this news? This is not good for the development of heaven and earth, right? It is obviously imperfect, but it thinks it is perfect. It is obviously a natural feminine constitution, but
Thinking that yin and yang are complete, this kind of cognitive deviation is a huge obstacle to spiritual practice."
"You want to know?" Wuyue asked with interest, "Are you sure you want to know the answer? For you, since you have already guessed the difference between yin and yang, you will no longer be affected by cognitive impairment, so why bother to explore it?
The secret behind it?”
"Curiosity is the driving force of progress."
"Well said. In that case, I'll let you see it." After saying that, Wuyue stood up and clapped his hands.
Wang Lu only saw a slender and soft palm and a pale bone claw touch twice, and the bedroom door was pushed open by the maid in black.
"I want to take guests to see my collection, you can lead the way."
Wuyue's collection hall was built in the underground part of Yue Capital. The group of people was led by the maid in black and walked slowly in the deep corridor. There were countless traps and traps along the way. The maid in black who led the way spent more than thirty years.
They used various props as keys to avoid them one by one, and finally led the three of them to the entrance of the collection hall.
Normally, no matter how precious the treasure is, it will not be so heavily guarded, and really important things are usually carried by monks. So when he saw the formation at the door, Wang Lu had a vague feeling that what he saw next might be...
It won't be anything good.
Sure enough, after opening the door of the collection hall, the maid who led the way hurriedly left, as if she was deeply afraid of the things in the museum.
Wu Yue stepped in generously. Behind the door was a spacious and deep hall. As Wu Yue entered, the lights suddenly became brighter, allowing people to see clearly the collections in the museum.
The moment his vision became clear, Wang Lu couldn't help but close his eyes.
This is really... an unexpected sight.
"How does it feel?"
Wuyue's voice came from ahead.
"These are the trophies I collected during the war forty-five years ago. Every one of them is an outstanding master in the lower realm of chaos... This is the martial arts worth showing off. The scars on my body will only be a shame.
What’s there to show off?”
Wang Lu nodded silently. Through the light around the collection hall, he could clearly see dozens of crystal tanks placed in the hall, inside which lay the corpses of chaotic creatures quietly.
Each of those chaotic creatures looks ferocious, and each has its own characteristics. Some have fangs outwards, and some have open foreheads and eyes... But the basic outline is very clear. They are human-shaped, with full muscles and broad bones. They are very
Standard...male.
"I guess this is the answer you want. Why does Cangtian Temple hide the fact that people are divided into yin and yang? Because we can't tell the world that your significant other is a chaotic creature."
"I see... This is indeed a secret that cannot be made public."
While Wang Lu carefully observed the corpses in the collection hall, he asked: "Generally speaking, living things need the union of yin and yang to reproduce. We have the sky to give new life, but what about the chaotic world? How can they reproduce if they only have males?
?When I look at the corpses of these chaotic creatures, in addition to their basic outlines, they often have the characteristics of other animals, such as horns, sheep's hooves, horse tails, etc. Could it be that..."
Wuyue snorted coldly and said: "When the need for reproduction overwhelms everything else, they will naturally look for any possible mother body. Huh, dirty bastards from the lower world.
Wang Lu watched for a while and then asked: "Strange, these chaotic creatures only have males? Can't they give birth to females?"
"I don't know. For thousands of years, we have never really set foot on the land of the lower world. Every time we kill the invaders, it ends. The filthy land of the lower world is fatal to us."
Wang Lu nodded to express his understanding.
At the same time, he realized in his heart that this fairyland may also hide an extremely large and difficult subplot: to help the chaotic creatures in the lower world overthrow the heaven and earth, and return the harmony of yin and yang to normal.
However, it is not convenient to say this kind of thought out loud, just think about it in your heart.
While he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard Wu Yue say.
"Li Yan spoke highly of you in the letter, and when I saw you today, I was not disappointed."
Wang Lu cupped his hands and said, "Wonderful praise."
"I like you two very much, so you can live in Yuedu."
"ah?"
"It has been more than ten years since I expanded the Yuedu harem, so I will set an example for you two today."
