After Bao Ping finished saying this, he fell silent again.
But this time, his expression was very embarrassing, with a kind of embarrassment that was not in line with his previous personality.
The warriors walking around all had embarrassing expressions on their faces.
The plain white mourning clothes they wore had already explained the purpose of their trip, and no more explanation was necessary.
Bao Ping coughed twice awkwardly, as if he wanted to lighten the atmosphere, but didn't know what to say.
This was the first time Chen Zhi saw Bao Ping so helpless.
Bao Ping is a very calm person!
For a long time in the past, whether he was facing life or death, or facing anything else, he always had no doubts about his choice.
Even if he is wrong, he will accept it calmly, but this time, he was really panicked.
It felt like I had done something very dirty and wanted to hide it, but in the end I was discovered...
"Tell me about that edict!" Chen Zhi avoided the most embarrassing question and asked Bao Ping first.
"When did you know about the existence of Hui Zhi?
How much do you know?"
"My adoptive father told me before he died...",
Bao Ping looked at the ground and said softly:
"Xiqi leaders of all generations knew about the existence of that reply.
We all know every word in that edict, because thousands of years ago, Jiang Ziya recited it completely and told it to the Ji family.
At that time, Jiang Ziya and King Wu also thought about destroying this reply.
So I searched everywhere for Bigan's descendants, but couldn't find them.
Later, Jiang Ziya gave the magic plate that restricted Jiang's magic to the Ji family.
He said that this reply was a reminder that it would turn the Jiang family against Xiqi.
Because no one will resist such a temptation, and no descendant of the gods will refuse to ascend the throne of the God Emperor.
He gave the magical weapon that restricted the Jiang family to the Ji family, in fact, to prevent his descendants from conspiring to rebel one day."
"Has no one from the Jiang family ever suspected this?" Chen Zhi looked at Bao Ping and continued to ask.
"No",
Bao Ping shook his head gently,
"Including your cousin-in-law, including the generation before him.
For thousands of years, none of the Jiang clan chiefs have ever doubted this matter.
All the Xiqi leaders also swallowed this secret. They lived and died with your Jiang family, shared weal and woe, and fought side by side throughout their lives, but they never revealed a word.
Only tell it to the next leader before you die."
Hearing such a frank answer, Chen Zhi was speechless for a moment.
Suddenly, he understood why Baoping behaved like this and also understood his previous madness.
My previous extreme behavior and my current behavior are actually reasonable.
"what about now?",
Chen Zhi looked at Bao Ping with bright eyes:
"Now you no longer have any restrictions on my magic weapon, and I already know all this.
Do you want to kill me?
Do you think you can kill me?"
"Ha~~" Bao Ping suddenly laughed, and then he began to laugh uncontrollably:
"Haha~~
What you said makes sense, but I'm going to give it a try anyway.
It doesn't matter whether it succeeds or not.
The question is, what do you think?
After knowing all this,
Will you still side with humanity?"
When Bao Ping said this, he suddenly raised his head, with an inexplicable sadness in his gray eyes.
"Chen Zhi, what do you want to hear from me?
Do you want to hear me say that I trust you?
Say I believe you will never betray me at any time.
Do you believe that you will give up your position as God Emperor for us humans?
Giving up the chance of eternal life?
We are not children anymore.
I know what the content of that edict is, and I also know what that edict means in your world.
But what are we?
In the face of the tens of thousands of years of life of those gods, our lifespan is not worth mentioning at all.
Just like ants on the ground, as long as they are happy, just step on them and they will disappear.
Would you give up such a good future for us?
If it were me, I wouldn't be so great, I'm telling the truth..."
"Well..." Chen Zhi looked at Bao Ping calmly and nodded in agreement.
"What you said is true.
I am indeed not as great as you say.
As you said, no one will refuse this temptation. In fact, I don't want to refuse it now.
The problem is you can't kill me yet.
what to do?
Do you still have hope for me now?"
"certainly",
When Bao Ping said this, his tone was very sincere. He seemed a little embarrassed. He didn't want to face his sincere eyes, but looked vertically at the ground.
"It's just my immature imagination!
I imagine that you will be like Lord Jiang Shang in the end. After knowing everything, you still stand on the side of us humans.
But this is just my wishful thinking, and it is a very untrue wishful thinking.",
When Bao Ping said this, he seemed to think of something and laughed at himself,
"My adoptive father once told me that the descendants of the Jiang family are not easy to manipulate, and they will not be intimidated by exaggerated words.
Once this secret is known to the Jiang family, the Jiang family will rebel.
Xiqi will perish, and so will humanity.
Therefore, that magic weapon must not be given to you, it must be kept in your own hands...
Haha, but I didn’t listen to him in the end. Now that I think about it, I really regret it..."
Bao Ping laughed out loud when he said this, and Chen Zhi also laughed.
The embarrassing atmosphere just now seemed to be diluted all of a sudden.
Bao Ping habitually wanted to reach for the cigarette at this time, but remembered that it was still in this place, so he did not go to get it.
Then he clasped his hands together and continued,
"Chen Zhi, I am different from you, I am a human being through and through.
Like all the warriors in Xiqi, we have no second identity, no blood relationship or divine power to protect us, so we must try our best to survive.
I usually see those gods saying that human beings are humble and ignorant.
But let me tell you how I evaluate human beings.
What is a person?
In my eyes, human beings are a combination of divinity and animality.
Human beings are different from gods. Human beings have good things that you can't imagine, and they also have evil things that you can't imagine.
Sometimes he can be very hypocritical, and sometimes he can be very timid and cowardly.
But sometimes they are very loyal, more persistent than gods. This is human beings.
Human beings are complex and life is short, but they are by no means useless, and they should not be reduced to food.
So sometimes, we should not underestimate ourselves.
Chen Zhi, I don’t care what your final choice is!
But I tell you, I will definitely stick to my current position.
Just like my adoptive father, just like the previous leaders of Xiqi, I will stand firm in front of the human world.
In order to protect this world, I am willing to die a thousand times, ten thousand times, until my body is shattered to pieces.
If the way of heaven stops me, I will destroy this way of heaven!!
If the gods and demons stop me, I will destroy the gods and demons!
If you want to destroy this world, then we will be enemies from now on..."
