Chapter 42: Discussions in the Palace of Jingyang (Part 2)
It is said that there are two things, but in fact it is one thing, or two aspects of the same thing.
Do you want to make an oath? If you don't take an oath, of course you have to find an alternative. If you can't find one, you will naturally have to take an oath.
Is there an alternative? Wu Sheng actually wants to hear it and is really willing to hear it.
Unfortunately, there was another long silence, and no one spoke.
If an alternative could be found, everyone would no longer have to sit in this Jingyang Palace to discuss it, and those who could find an alternative would certainly not need Wu Sheng to tell everyone about it.
This is a major event.
So the real purpose of Mr. Xin’s question is to remind everyone that you have no choice, there is only one answer, listen to Wu Sheng!
Everyone here agrees. Of course they know that there is no other choice, so they all remain silent because they have nothing to say. But with some reluctance, they have practiced to the extreme. What they pursue is not to be free and free, and to do whatever they want? Suddenly, they want to
How can you be willing to swear allegiance to someone, especially a junior whom you looked down upon in the past? That’s why you remain silent because you are unwilling to do so.
Of course Wu Sheng knew the crux of the matter. He had considered several methods. The fastest and most effective was of course to lose face and hit it with a colorful stone.
Are you unwilling to sign? One hundred thousand. Do you want to sign? Two hundred thousand! Three hundred thousand!
But doing so would be the greatest injustice to the people in Lushan who firmly supported him and signed the oath without hesitation.
Seeing this, Wu Sheng knew that there was probably no result from the discussion today, so he decided to wait a little longer and wait for these guys to resolve their own knots. Half a month might still not be enough, and he would have to wait a little longer.
Give them more time.
Of course, before concluding today's proceedings, some people still need to be beaten.
Wu Sheng looked at Ziyu: "It seems that everyone has not thought about it well. It still needs time, so let's break up today. There are still ten months until the reconstruction of the prehistoric era. There is still some time...Before the end, I
Wu Sheng raised his head, looked at the row of shrines enshrined in Jingyang Hall, and said softly: "It has been more than two years since Changzi passed away. In the past two years, I often think of him and the irreconcilable relationship between him and me.
Conflict, almost life-and-death hatred..."
Hearing him suddenly mention Chang Hong, Jianwu and Uncle Lian both raised their heads suddenly. Jianwu's eyes were a bit angry, while Uncle Lian was quite ashamed.
Wu Sheng ignored them and continued: "I have never thought about a person with such complicated emotions, and I never thought that I would commemorate a person who wanted to kill me, but I just couldn't help it, because Zi
His death made me sincerely admire him. He was just a cultivator. In front of those powerful enemies from another world, he was like a helpless baby. He was also like a praying mantis. Facing the overcoming chariot, he still showed no signs of death.
I stepped forward without hesitation and asked myself, if it were me, Wu Sheng, I would never have the courage."
Ziyu sighed: "I was careless. I shouldn't have sent him to investigate the cause of Zhao Jianzi's death."
Wu Sheng shook his head: "You are not wrong. No one knew that the void cracks of Xue Yaozi and the others would open in the North. It can only be said that this is Changzi's fate, his misfortune, but it is also our spring and autumn.
The blessing of millions of people. What I always think about is, when he saw the crack in the void opening, what made him rush forward without hesitation, and then resolutely exploded into the sea of qi, giving up a hundred years of practice, dedicating his life, and just
To prevent the cracks from expanding?"
After a pause, Wu Sheng sighed: "This world..."
Wu Sheng didn't say anything more and just let everyone realize it themselves.
Luo Lingfu: Luo Lingfu stood up and said loudly: "Luo has already thought about it. For the Spring and Autumn Period, Luo signed this oath!"
Ziyu looked at the others, sighed, and said, "I'll sign too."
After that came Jian Zong and Zhenren Xin, so far there were four Hedao.
Just as he was about to announce that today was over and we would discuss it next time, Wang Bu suddenly came back. As soon as he entered the Jingyang Palace, he said loudly: "Are you all here? It just so happens that... Academician Wu is also here, which is even better!"
His whereabouts have always been mysterious and erratic, usually
Since I couldn't see anyone, I informed everyone of the Hedao discussion this time. I didn't even think about him coming, but I didn't expect that he actually came.
Ziyu said: "I was just talking to the Heavenly Master about today's discussion. There will be great changes in the void that have not been seen in three thousand years. Several Taoist ancestors plan to reconstruct the ancient world. Wu Sheng is favored by Lord Wuchang. As long as he helps him become a righteous god
, my spring and autumn life can be solidified in the prehistoric times and become one of the fifty-five lives, and there will be no need..."
Hearing this, Wang Bu directly interrupted Mr. Xin: "So you were just discussing this matter, which just saved me. That's why I came here. One thing, Wu Sheng, you are wrong, it's not you
That’s what I thought…”
Jianwu couldn't help but beam with joy: "Tianshi, is Wu Sheng's statement false?"
Uncle Lian was also looking forward to it: "What will happen, please let the Heavenly Master tell you!"
Wang Bu said: "It's fake, it's not fifty-five lives. I have the latest news here. Not only has the Luo Book changed this time, it has increased from ten to twelve, but the Hetu has also changed, but it is not an increase, but a decrease, from five
Fifteen lives have been reduced to thirty-three! However, each life still has a maximum of nine realms, and this has not changed."
Everyone was shocked after hearing this, and a strong sense of oppression suddenly arose on everyone's head. Fifty-five lifetimes are already few enough, but if this was drastically reduced to thirty-three lifetimes, would it not allow people to live anymore?
Master Yutian looked solemn and asked, "Is the news true?"
Wang Bu smiled bitterly: "You still don't know me? I often make other jokes, but for such a big event, how can I dare to make this joke?" Then he said eagerly: "Wu Sheng, have you been chosen as an ally by Lord Wuchang?
"
Wu Sheng nodded: "Yes. Aren't we discussing it? It's a pity that there is no result from the discussion today."
At that moment, Ziyu explained the matter in detail, and Wang Bu rolled his eyes and said: "I see... If you really don't want to make an oath, I have an idea here. Let's talk about it and listen to it."
Jian Wu urged: "Tianshi, please stop being so secretive and speak out quickly!
Wang Bu said: "To make a long story short, I think it's time for our Spring and Autumn Period to elect a great scholar."
"Grand Bachelor?" Ziyu's eyes lit up.
Wang Bu explained: "In the past, there were only four or five bachelors in the academy all the year round. There were few people. When something happened, we would talk to each other and make a rough decision. But today, how many of us in the academy are in harmony? When something happens,
Especially when it comes to matters involving the void, how long will it take to quarrel before a decision is made? Therefore, it is necessary to elect a great scholar. Everything in the Spring and Autumn Period will remain as usual, and this great scholar will not care. He is responsible for those things in the void, but once
It's decided. The rest of the people have sworn an oath to the grand master and obey the orders. This grand master is not permanent, so he can..."
He rolled his eyes and said: "One hundred years, re-election every hundred years, no matter who is the Grand Bachelor, they must renew their oath, how about it?"
Ziyu praised: "What a great idea! Wang Tianshi is so smart! What do Wu Xueshi think?"
Wang Bu's idea of turning personal allegiance into allegiance to the job is quite good. Now, this group of people should be able to cross the threshold.
