Chapter Three Hundred and Forty-One: The Nine-Segmented Rod
Zhang Heng has his own concerns.
Hongzu was the destined man of the previous generation and the whetstone for the destined sons of this generation.
He can take action to deal with Hong Zu, but the question is, without the whetstone, can the two of them grow up without going through hardships?
Three points are destined, seven points depend on hard work.
It is true that without the three points in front, there would be no seven points in the back.
But what cannot be ignored is that destiny only raises the upper limit. If you do nothing yourself, God can't help you.
At the very least, Liu Wu and Zhang Yitong are not the kind of people whose destiny is to eat, sleep, eat, fall in love, and become successful in a short time.
There is another question.
What is the fight between the three people about?
It's luck.
Hong Zu, the protagonist of the previous generation, attempts to gain the favor of destiny again, so as to break his trap, become an immortal, and ascend to the upper world.
As for Liu Wu and Zhang Yitong, if they defeat Hong Zu and combine the two generations of protagonists, they will be the ones to ascend.
What's more, can Liu Wu and Zhang Yitong really coexist?
In the past, Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, rebelled by beheading snakes.
According to folklore, the son of the Red Emperor killed the son of the White Emperor.
When ordinary people hear this, they can take it as a joke.
But in Zhang Heng's view, Liu Bang, the son of the Red Emperor, was a man of destiny, and the white snake transformed into the son of the White Emperor also had great luck.
Liu Bang killed the snake and absorbed its luck. The two lucks merged into one, and he became uncontrollable.
Zhang Yitong, Liu Wu, Hong Zu.
They are all destined by fate, and each other's fate is involved. Everyone is the protagonist. Likewise, they are each other's whetstone, just like the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu.
Zhang Heng felt that without him.
Under a normal script, Zhang Yitong and Liu Wu should cooperate and defeat Hong Zu after going through hardships.
Or maybe Hongzu killed the two of them and absorbed their luck to create a prosperous age.
But no matter how you look at it, only one person can ascend in the end.
For emotional reasons, Zhang Heng prefers Zhang Yitong.
Therefore, from the perspective of his expectation, Zhang Yitong and Liu Wu should join forces to kill Hong Zu and share their fate. One person is named the Empress of Yaochi, the other is the East King of Yaochi, and the two days fly across the sky.
In the end, Zhang Yitong made a sneak attack on Liu Wu, devouring his luck, attaining enlightenment and ascending to the upper world.
Liu Wu may not be dead, but a trace of his soul will be reborn.
But that was already many years later. At that time, the world only knew about the Empress Zhang Yitong of Yaochi, but did not know that Yaochi had two emperors, the Eastern King Liu Wu.
Even after the world was established, there were twin statues of the two people all over the world, and only Zhang Yitong remained.
Liu Wu clenched his fists tightly, feeling chilled and humiliated.
I vowed to re-cultivate the Tao and Fruit, achieve enlightenment and ascend, and go to the upper world to find an explanation.
Of course, this is another story.
Maybe you can also give it a name, such as the Eternal God Emperor or something like that.
But now, Zhang Heng still has to consider the present.
...Yaochi Xianmen...
True to the cave.
"Zhang Heng, do you think it is really useful for Liu Wu to be sheltered by the Cui family?"
Coming back from the wedding banquet.
Return to the cave.
Zhang Yitong looked troubled: "Judging from today's performance, Hong Zu has already targeted the two of us. Although the Cui family patriarch is powerful, he cannot protect Liu Wu at all times, and it is difficult to say that Hong Zu will take action against Liu Wu."
, Cui Zu dares to break up with Hong Zu, can you stop him?"
"If not, Liu Wu's entry into the Cui family may seem like a clever move, but it may easily end up being self-defeating."
Hear this.
Zhang Heng nodded slightly: "Hiding in the Cui family is naturally not a long-term solution, but for now, staying alive is the most important thing. As long as people are around, there will be opportunities."
"As for the ancestor of the Cui family, will he support Liu Wu? No one is a fool. The ancestor of the Cui family has been suppressed by Hong Zu for two thousand years. If you want to choose the person in the world who most wants to see Hong Zu misfortune, it must not be you and him.
Liu Wu, but some of the other five giants in Yaochi."
"I guess Liu Wu has told the Cui family ancestor about Yun Lingzhi's death and his luck."
"The great ancestor of the Cui family is in the position of Earth Immortal, so he should know something about the theory of luck."
"Whether it's for himself or for the Immortal Sect to prevent Hong Zu from being the dominant one, there is no reason for him not to intervene in this matter. Even several other Earth Immortal giants will come forward to check and balance Hong Zu."
"Of course, in the battle to destroy Maitreya, Hong Zu could win against two Earth Immortals by himself. His strength is at least equivalent to that of 2 to 3 Earth Immortals working together."
"In today's world, apart from me, no one can defeat him one-on-one. Even if the other four giants of the Immortal Sect join forces, over time, they will all be defeated by them."
The battle to destroy Maitreya.
Although Zhang Heng did not go there in person, he had been paying attention.
Hong Zu's strength is equivalent to that of the veteran Earth Immortal, while the others are only at the level of new Earth Immortals.
Zhang Heng thought about it and found that he was 90% sure about Hongzu. The remaining 10% was because Hongzu had some strange treasure in his hand and he ran away.
As for whether Hong Zu could kill him.
The possibility is too small. If he has such a method, there is no need to worry about luck. My destiny is destiny, and if God doesn't follow it, he will establish a new heaven. There is no point in confining himself to the forbidden land.
"Let's see."
"It's best if I don't take action."
"This is your destiny and era, not mine. If I intervene forcefully, where will you go?"
"Fate will not always favor one person. As I expected, Hong Zu had one era back then, and you are fighting against Hong Zu now, which is the second era."
"After the death of Hong Zu, there will be a third era. This is the world of iron and steel, the protagonist of flowing water, and a new generation replaces the old."
"At that time, you will become a has-been protagonist just like Hong Zu today, and you will not be free as a hero, because this is a reincarnation."
"If you cannot break the prison and ascend to the upper world, you will fall into this endless repetition of fate. From being a brave man to killing the evil dragon to transforming into a new evil dragon, it only takes a moment."
"You may be able to defeat many protagonists and protect your old era."
"But can you always win?"
"It's impossible. No one can win all the time. No one can ascend to the upper realm. Instead, he will be like a thorn in the side. Sooner or later, he will be eliminated by this era."
Zhang Heng felt that he should be a fuse on the transformer.
Chaos can be brought back to order when necessary.
But he shouldn't directly solve everything for the two of them, otherwise without the whetstone, the eldest lady will be like Hong Zu in the future, becoming an Earth Immortal and giving orders.
It looks majestic, but in reality there is no way forward and no way back.
In the future, we can only be like Hong Zu, whose cultivation has stopped and his Taoist heart is dejected. He can only seal himself away and wait for the next era.
At that time, it’s hard to say what it would be like if the heroes were transported without freedom.
"Zhang Heng, what should I do?"
The eldest lady humbly asks for advice.
"wait..."
Zhang Heng's attitude is clear: "Accumulate strength, win over fellow disciples, and obtain the status of a true immortal as soon as possible. First, have the ability to protect yourself, and then announce the cause of Yun Lingzhi's death at the right opportunity, pushing Hong Zu to the opposite side of everyone.
When the wall falls and everyone pushes it down, make reasonable use of the general trend.”
Finished.
Zhang Heng gave the eldest lady another reassurance: "Compared with Liu Wu, you are inconspicuous now. Liu Wu's apprenticeship with the ancestor of the Cui family is even more threatening than you. Because comparing one's feelings with others, Hong Zu himself
When it comes to planning to gain luck, isn't he afraid that the great ancestor of the Cui family also thinks the same way and gives him a chance to win the moon first?"
"I think Hongzu may have been high-spirited and high-spirited in the past, but now he is a late hero. Underneath his strong appearance, there is deep decay and waste. His backbone has long been broken by fate. He can only beg for mercy, hoping that fate will favor him again. But in fact, when
If he has this idea, he has already denied himself."
"Now, he no longer has the ambition to strategize and establish the Yaochi Immortal Sect. He is just a grasshopper in the autumn, jumping around."
"Besides, with me here, you have nothing to worry about."
"If you really can't fight him and are reluctant, I will have no choice but to walk away."
"When it comes to the art of seizing luck, Hong Zu only scratches the surface. I am the expert in this business."
The faint yellow sky.
Under the nine-section staff, there is no need to talk about destiny.
It's just that Zhang Heng is now practicing a noble way and doesn't like those methods anymore.
In addition, the catastrophic world is not normal, so we don’t dare to mess around.
Otherwise, raise your arms and give a shout.
Still able to show everyone that one year old will bring good luck to the world.
God's destiny, God's destiny be damned to you.
Zhang Heng's answer was to put his right hand to his ear as if listening, followed by a question: "Huh?"
