Chapter 257 There are people outside people, there are days outside the sky
"Boom!"
The muffled sound of thunder squeezed into the house along the gap of the secret door and continued endlessly.
The long black sword was thrust vertically in front of him, with the tip of the sword three inches into the ground.
All the essence and blood that the thin man spat out just now has slid down the sword body, forming a small pool of blood on the ground. Occasionally, ripples will appear as the Xuantian Sword trembles.
"you say......"
Canhun's voice suddenly dropped to a lower tone: "Are you Wei Changtian?"
"senior."
Wei Changtian sneered: "Do I need to lie to you?"
"..."
Remnant Soul paused for a moment, and his tone became more gloomy.
"So... Xiao Feng is dead?"
"certainly."
"Hmph! Boy! You think I am so easy to deceive? You must know that I..."
"Find five second-grade masters to help Xiao Feng?"
Wei Changtian narrowed his eyes and interrupted: "Senior, I'm sorry, those five people are already dead."
"What?!"
The black light of Xuantian Sword suddenly glowed, and the old voice was full of shock: "Dead?! This is impossible!!"
"impossible?"
Wei Changtian put his hands on his hands and laughed and said: "Hahahaha, Senior Ji, you sent them to kill me. Now that I am still alive, they must die."
"Is it possible that you don't understand this?"
"Bah! Don't even think about deceiving me!"
Canhun cursed and wanted to argue, but suddenly stopped at the next moment.
"Wait a minute! How did you learn that my surname is Ji?!"
"Senior Ji, I not only know your last name..."
Wei Changtian leaned forward and reached out to pick up a bloody finger.
"I also know that you have been trapped in this Xuantian Sword for more than 1,500 years, and I also know that you once single-handedly created Kuilong."
"Do you know Kuilong?!"
This time, Remnant Soul could no longer remain calm, and his tone suddenly became filled with shock.
"Who told you?!"
"Who told me... Let's talk about this later."
Wei Changtian smiled, and his inner energy came out of his body, exploding the blood on his fingertips into a small ball of blood mist.
Behind the bright red mist, the slight smile from beginning to end still hangs on the slightly raised corners of the mouth.
"Senior Ji, I want to make a deal with you."
...
...
"Squeak~"
Half an hour later, Wei Changtian opened the door and walked out of the dark room.
"Son."
Chu Xianping, who had been waiting outside the door, immediately took two steps closer and waved for the others to leave.
"Information came from the Tongzhou Association an hour ago that war started in Yuanzhou."
"Yeah... Got it."
Wei Changtian's reaction was quite calm, and there was almost no change in his eyes.
"Brother Chu, send someone to clean up the bodies in the house, and then you can go back first."
"I want to think about something alone."
"......yes."
Chu Xianping turned his head and looked at the dead body slumped in the room, and nodded.
He was just about to leave to arrange the matter, but he was suddenly stopped by Wei Changtian after he took a step forward.
"Brother Chu, if I told you that there are already first-class masters outside Daning, there are even more than one... what would you think?"
"..."
Chu Xianping stopped suddenly and turned back to look at Wei Changtian who looked serious.
In his previous understanding, Yipin had always been an "elusive" realm.
Just like the moon in the water or the flower in the mirror, you are sure of its existence, but you can never touch it.
So if there really is a living first-class master...
"Son."
Chu Xianping said with a calm expression: "I had my pulses opened when I was five years old, and sixty-one of the sixty-four meridians were opened. I feel that I am gifted, and I will definitely become a world-beating master in the future."
"Two years later, I went up to the mountain to study under my master. None of my fellow disciples were as good as me, but my master said that there were countless people in the world who were more talented than me."
"I was not convinced at the time and thought Master was lying to me and wanted to use this method to encourage me to practice hard."
"But when I was ten years old, my master brought back a younger brother from the mountain and asked me to fight with him."
"I tried my best to attack this person, but he just flicked his arm and threw me three feet away."
"Only now do I believe that there are actually people with full access to the sixty-four meridians in this world, and only then do I really understand the truth that there are people outside the world, and there is heaven outside the world."
"So even if there is a master in the outer realm, it's not a big deal."
"..."
In just a few sentences, it tells a very ordinary story, but it clearly expresses Chu Xianping's attitude towards the world.
To be fair, for the "aboriginals" who live in a world without news, television, and the Internet, where the speed of information dissemination is extremely slow and closed, having this kind of vision is really rare.
But there was no appreciation in Wei Changtian's eyes when he looked at Chu Xianping. After thinking for a moment, he just said softly in a complicated tone:
"Brother Chu, what if I told you that in addition to first-level masters, there are..."
"Rumble!"
The thunder outside the house was still thundering, suddenly rushing and surging, like waves giving a night scare.
After another roar, Wei Changtian did not continue.
"Forget it, it's pointless."
"..."
This seemed to be said to Chu Xianping, but it also seemed to be said to himself.
Wei Changtian reached out and patted Chu Xianping on the shoulder, shook his head and turned away, leaving the latter standing alone.
So...what else is there in this world?
Chu Xianping kept repeating Wei Changtian's last unfinished words in his mind.
But I still can't find the answer.
...
...
Beijing, Daning Palace, Shiqu Pavilion.
It is still unknown what Wei Changtian talked about with the remnant soul in Xuantian Sword and what kind of deal he made.
But since it is "meaningless", it means that this matter is still far away from him for the time being.
Although it is said that people must have far-sightedness and not be short-sighted.
But in fact, the reason why many people are mediocre is not because their vision is not long enough, but precisely because their vision is always far away.
People always have to solve current problems first before they are qualified to think about longer-term plans.
Wei Changtian thought so, and so did Ning Yongnian.
"..."
"Dear ladies, I have called you into the palace tonight because I want to hear your thoughts on something."
After writing the case, Ning Yongnian looked at the eight important ministers standing in front of him with an extremely serious expression.
"This matter is of great importance. It is related to the fate of our country, Daning, and to the lives of tens of thousands of people."
"So, I just want to hear the truth."
"Can you understand?"
"..."
"Go back to the emperor, I understand!"
A chorus of responses immediately came out, but everyone had the same doubt in their voice.
They are all well-known "neutralists" in the court. No matter whether it was when Liu Weixu was "standing on three pillars" or now when Daning is in chaos inside and outside, they have never done anything to form a party for personal gain.
At the very least, it has never been done openly.
As for the doubt in his tone just now...
There were eight people in total, and three of them really didn't know why Ning Yongnian called him here in the middle of the night.
But the other five people all knew it well.
"emperor......"
Li Qian, who was standing on the left, cupped his hand towards Ning Yongnian and asked "tentatively": "I wonder what is so important?"
"Li Aiqing."
Ning Yongnian pushed the stack of letters forward on the desk and answered softly.
"You will know just by looking at this."
