Chapter 159: Wei Liao's Way
Wei Liao felt uncomfortable under Ziying's questioning.
"What does King Qin mean?" Wei Liao frowned.
Ziying rolled up the map and put it in his arms, sat back on the bed and said seriously, "Mr. Wei Liao once said that I have an extraordinary origin. In this case, is the purpose of staying with me is to find out my origin?"
"So this is what King Qin said." Wei Liao suddenly shook his head and chuckled, "I admit that this is one of the purposes."
"Oh?" Ziying narrowed his eyes slightly, "Since you are a hermit, sir, why do you need to care so much?"
"Hermit is what I want in my heart, but I am not really a hermit." Wei Liao said with a smile, "There was a hermit named Xu You in Yao's time. Yao wanted to give up his seat to Xu You, but Xu You said these words were dirty.
His ears. But I care about the world, how can I become a hermit?"
"Care about the world?" Ziying was confused, "If you care about the world, why hide it?"
"Because what I call the world is not just what the king and the people say, but also the way between heaven and earth." There was a look of yearning in Wei Miao's eyes.
"Taoist?" Ziying frowned.
"Non-Taoists, all the schools of thought have only glimpsed a corner of the way of heaven and earth." Wei Liao explained, "Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things. This is the principle of nature. King Qin does not belong here.
But it is also born of Tao. If I can find out the origin of King Qin, I can get closer to Tao."
"this..."
Ziying didn't know what to say for a moment. He thought that Wei Liao was just a strategist who was good at planning. It was said that he could read faces and do divination, but he didn't expect that he was so obsessed with Xuan Dao.
"Since the King of Qin has spoken, I will tell you the reason. Then should the King of Qin also tell me the answer?" Wei Miao's eyes burned.
"Then as you wish, sir, I..."
Ziying was also curious about Wei Liao's way, so he carefully told everything he knew.
From the Qin Dynasty to a thousand years later, from early morning to noon, when Ziying finished speaking, a foot of snow had accumulated outside the meeting hall.
Wei Liao kept listening attentively, feeling surprised and a little disappointed.
"Alas, I have known for a long time that the Great Qin Dynasty of the First Emperor would not last for thousands of generations, but I didn't expect that there were only two generations." Wei Liao sighed.
"Everything happens for a reason. Tyranny cannot last forever." Ziying replied, "Sir, there is no need to stick to your own way anymore. Heaven and earth are just air and earth, not gods."
Wei Liao shook his head slightly, "The King of Qin must be telling the truth, but didn't you realize that something was wrong?"
"Something's wrong?" Ziying was puzzled, "Does Mr. Wei Liao think that later historians recorded it randomly?"
"No." Wei Liao shook his head and said, "The King of Qin just said that all mystical arts are false, but why did he still ask me about the curse before?"
"This...I am confused." Ziying frowned.
Wei Liao smiled calmly, "I already know the answer, and the truth lies in it."
"What's the meaning?"
Wei Liao smiled and said, "King Qin, do you still remember why I asked Mr. Zhang about Gan Luo? The way of heaven has damaged more than it can make up for. Gan Luo was very famous when he was young, but the way of heaven will destroy him. This is his destiny."
"What does this have to do with the curse?" Ziying frowned.
"It's related to nature. The power of the curse was also taken away by Tao." Wei Liao looked directly at Ziying.
Ziying sat quietly by the bed, waiting with all his attention for Wei Liao's explanation.
"I have always believed that during the reign of Emperors Yan and Huang, there were indeed people who knew the art of calling wind and rain, but this art competed with the power of heaven and earth, and then disappeared.
The curses used by people in the world could kill people thousands of miles away, but the same cannot be said today. The King of Qin was doubtful about curses, so he must be even more powerless in the curses of later generations, right?
"
"Mr. Wei Liao, maybe those things are just rumors. Even if there is a method of curse, its demise may be just because it was lost, not because of any Tao. Maybe the reason can be explained clearly in the future, and it is not some god." Ziying said
.
Ziying secretly laughed, he was actually discussing materialism issues with the ancients here.
"Three things give birth to all things. If King Qin is obsessed with all things and does not agree with the only way, he will never fully realize it in his life." Wei Liao chuckled, "The people use it every day and don't know it, so the way is fresh."
"What you said is absolutely true," Ziying agreed.
Ziying couldn't find a point of rebuttal for the moment and didn't bother to argue anymore.
"The king should not underestimate the Tao." Wei Liao said seriously, "It is precisely because of the Tao that King Qin can appear here."
"What do you mean?" Ziying asked in shock.
"Naturally, Dao is making up for the shortcomings." Wei Liao explained, "The king of Qin's hundreds of years of hard work can only establish a dynasty for more than ten years. Dao must be intolerant, and the appearance of King Qin is the opportunity given by Dao."
"Ah..."
Ziying couldn't hold back and hurriedly put away his smile. He believed that future generations would be technologically advanced enough to travel through time and space, so he didn't believe in any choice.
Wei Liao was irritated by Ziying's laughter and narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he could see through Ziying's thoughts.
"The arrival of King Qin is absolutely beyond human power, and there will be no attempt to compete with Tao in future generations." Wei Liao said decisively.
"Many things in the world cannot be clarified. There is no need for Mr. Wei Liao to be persistent," Ziying advised.
Wei Liao was determined to persuade Ziying, "King Qin still remembers that he just said that if Liu Bang conquers the world, there will be a relative named 'Wang Mang' in his dynasty? Doesn't King Qin feel that he is very similar to 'Wang Mang'?"
"he?"
Ziying thought for a moment, saying a lot about Wang Mang.
Moreover, after Wang Mang usurped power, the new policies he changed were beyond the understanding of that era, and had a modern flavor, and he was even considered a time traveler.
"What do you think Mr. Wei Liao has to say?" Ziying asked.
