Chapter 419: The Law of Ling Chi(1/2)
Xiao Jinyan asked in surprise, "Who is it in the world?"
Dongfang Nuannuan smiled faintly and asked, "Do you still think that the Supreme Heavenly Way is a person?"
"Isn't it?"
"He can be, or not. He is an existence in the void, an embodiment of the consciousness of the sacred realm. For example, you can easily destroy a nest of ants. In the eyes of ants, if they cannot truly observe you, they will create a god similar to them. No one knows what the Supreme Heavenly Way looks like, and Lu Xuanji doesn't know."
Xiao Jinyan was a little puzzled, "But so far, the sword guards and sword cultivators on Shujian Mountain are all humans."
"That's just that the Supreme Heavenly Way wants humans to recognize his will more easily. If this world is ruled by monkeys, then sword cultivators and sword guards will also be monkeys. They are just people who have mastered some of the rules of operation about the world."
Xiao Jinyan did not continue to ask. But he felt that things were not that simple. If it was true as Dongfang Nuannuan said, the supreme way of heaven and man were like humans and ants, then his desire to destroy the world is really just a matter of thought.
To fight against the Supreme Heavenly Way, it is like a snail shaking a big tree. It is simply an unfinished task.
"Then what should we do?"
"We can escape, wait, hide, or accept calmly."
Escape, wait, hide, accept.
Four different attitudes and four different philosophy of life.
For the people at the bottom, they only have one choice, that is, to accept the arrangement of fate. If the world is destroyed, it will be destroyed.
Dongfang Nuannuan once said that the world order is already chaotic and it takes such a disaster to reorganize the order of the human world, if the Supreme Heavenly Way is willing.
As for escaping?
If we didn’t jump out of the three realms, escape from the shackles of the cage of the world, and get rid of life and death, love and love, there would be no capital to escape.
There are still some people in the world who choose to confront each other.
Like Yuwen Tianlu. Outside Dingzhou City, he built a powerful fortress of the end of the world, just like the ship in mythology and legend, avoiding the sanctions of the way of heaven.
Like Wang Banxian, he was full of luck in the world and hid in this world for more than 20 years, avoiding the pursuit of Shujian Mountain.
Like Li Chuntie. Although he had never said that, his investigation into Shujianshan has never stopped.
Xiao Jinyan asked himself, what should I do?
He likes this world very much, with relatives and friends, beloved people, and admired brothers.
However, if it is true as Dongfang said, all this will eventually become a bubble and you can do nothing.
No one knows what kind of way the Supreme Heavenly Way came. He cannot, nor does Dongfang Nuannuan know.
After Dongfang Nuannuan left, Xiao Jinyan fell into contemplation. However, this contemplation did not last long because Jin Bu was replaced.
"Life and death have fate and wealth are in heaven, and people die and birds are in the court. Twenty years later, he will be a hero again." He said indifferently.
"You heard it?"
"I heard it accidentally."
"What else did you hear?"
Jin Buhuan said, "I also heard that someone was very dissatisfied with our actions today and was about to set fire to this house."
"when?"
"Just now."
“Why not stop it?”
Jin Buhuandao, "It's not my house, nor your house, why should I stop it?"
A strong smell of smoke came.
Xiao Jinyan, Jin Budou came to the yard.
There were three or four people outside the door, sneaking in the firewood and piled up in the firewood. Because it was raining a little, the ground was relatively wet. For a moment, it was not lit, but it caused a lot of thick smoke. The person who set the fire was the second shopkeeper of the Investment Merchants Bank. He was beaten today. He couldn't swallow the anger and could not fight. So he found a few brothers and prepared to set the firewood.
Ahem!
The second shopkeeper was still complaining, "I asked you to buy fifty kilograms of dry firewood, but I can't ingest it, right?"
The guy said, "The unscrupulous businessman, go and order their warehouse tomorrow."
Xiao Jinyan and Jin Buhuan came here with his nose covering his nose. The people were still busy and did not notice that anyone came.
Xiao Jinyan asked, "Where is setting fire?"
"Um."
"If it were me, I would buy some tung oil and sulfur, and I wouldn't use so much firewood."
The second shopkeeper said, "I have no experience when I work for the first time. Why are you so clear-minded? You are not a habitual offender, right?"
It was dark in the night, and he didn't see the face of the person. Such illegal things were guilty and he should have run away when he saw someone, but he did it for the first time and did not react.
Xiao Jinyan said, "Go too much, too much. However, if you have any questions, I have to remind you that there are Shangyijian and dyed woven houses here, all of which are the territory of the palace. If you are so blatant, aren't you afraid of being discovered?"
The second shopkeeper said, "What are you afraid of? This is called directional setting. Just burn this house. Hey, why do I feel familiar with you when I hear your voice?"
Xiao Jinyan said, "It's me wrong. It's too light to take action during the day, so I didn't let you remember me."
"Not only is it wrong, it's a big mistake. If it were me, he would have been unable to get out of bed for at least half a month."
The second shopkeeper shouted, "It's you!"
Xiao Jinyan smiled and said, "Isn't it?" He smiled a little gloomy, his eyes staring straight at him, which made him feel embarrassed.
The second shopkeeper pulled the firewood back, "Hero Mo, there may be some misunderstandings between us."
"Misunderstand?"
"You seem to be setting fires, but in fact, I have made an appointment with a few brothers to prepare for an open-air barbecue here."
"Where is the meat?"
The second shopkeeper said, "I asked my brothers to buy it." He kicked the person next to him, "You go and see, why haven't the third brother come back to Xuanyuan Butcher Shop?"
The man scratched his head, "What to buy meat?"
The second shopkeeper slapped him, "Piggy, tendon meat, and copper pot, hurry up and urge him. By the way, call my elder brother too."
"Hisan Mo, I am wrong today. We don't know each other, so we're here to set up a stove and barbecue today, and we're just apologizing for you."
Xiao Jinyan originally wanted to teach him a lesson, but now he is borrowing someone else's identity. If he gets into trouble, he will probably not end. He can take the opportunity to use this person, so he said, "Do you really think so?"
“Must!”
"Do you want to make money?"
"I dreamed that otherwise I wouldn't have been in the investment bank."
Xiao Jinyan said: "I believe you once. I haven't been back for three or four years, and I have no friends in the capital. Are you familiar with the capital?"
The second shopkeeper laughed, "I won't say anything else, just this capital city, even if I blindfolded, I, Meng Er, meant wherever I went, and let me touch the bed of a concubine in the palace, and I wouldn't take the wrong path."
Xiao Jinyan was scheming, "Really?"
The second shopkeeper said, "I have a little rhetoric. However, if it is news from the capital, from the secret news in the palace to the three religions and the other ranks, I can eat it and make a good deal."
The fire finally started.
It just set the fire but turned into a barbecue.
Xiao Jinyan pointed to the side room and said, "In and speak."
After a while, the man left the man and moved the iron plate, came forward with a furnace stand. There was a big man behind him, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a row of knives hanging on his waist, and a pig's leg on his back, and walked in.
The second shopkeeper said, "This is my elder brother, Xuanyuan Yidao, the shopkeeper of Xuanyuan Butcher Shop, my brother who I am calling for." After that, he whispered, "My elder brother has another identity. If you tell me, I won't be afraid of you."
"oh?"
The second shopkeeper pretended to be mysterious and said, "He is still the number one executioner of the Ministry of Punishment, with his first-class knife skills. The palace's Lingxing is mostly done by his palms. It is said that he can cut thousands of people without death."
After setting up the stove, Xuanyuan pulled out a thumb-sized knife from his waist with a knife, brushed it with a brush, and cut it down countless pieces of meat as thin as cicada wings and fell on the stove. After four or five breaths, it was already cooked.
Everyone cheered.
Xuanyuan Yidao couldn't be happy.
The second shopkeeper said, "Brother, why are you not in high spirits today?"
Xuanyuan sighed, "I have recently taken on a difficult job. The palace assigned to kill someone."
"This is a good thing!"
"A good thing?" Xuanyuan said with a knife, "This Lingchi punishment will be cut into pieces!"
The second shopkeeper said, "Brother is known as Xuanyuan Wandao. For you, isn't you a specialty?"
Xuanyuan frowned and said, "The punishment of Lingchi is the limit of 3,600 swords. The so-called ten thousand swords are just an exaggeration. But if the palace has ordered death, if one sword is missing, it will cut off my body and compensate me. Do you think this is a good thing?" He drank a sip of wine, "What's more, this punishment of Lingchi is to be carried out at the birthday banquet of Your Majesty, in front of all civil and military officials, and envoys from all countries!"
When Xiao Jinyan heard this, he deliberately kept his thoughts.
The second shopkeeper took a breath, "How much resentment is Your Majesty? Even if you rebel, it's not like this?"
Xiao Jinyan asked, "Dare you ask Brother Xuanyuan, who is the one who wants Lingchi?"
Xuanyuan drank a bowl of wine with a knife, put down the bowl, and said, "It's okay to tell you. It's probably not a long time before the court will issue an order to tell the world. It's not someone else, but the former president of the Dengwen Academy Li Chuntien!"
