"I'm really not sure whether he is dead or alive now~~"
Bao Ping looked at Chen Zhi and answered his question,
"What I know is what my adoptive father told me, and what he knows is what the previous leader told him.
Generally, before the old leader dies, he will give some instructions to the newcomer, either leaving a letter or giving instructions in person.
You have to understand that the language of thousands of years ago was completely different from today, and the way of expression was also different.
It is difficult to understand things that are passed down from word of mouth...
The information that has come to me has been passed down for many generations, so I don’t know if it is accurate.
Anyway, the version my adoptive father told me is:
After the death of King Wu, a new king succeeded to the throne, the world was settled, and the world was at peace. Jiang Ziya resigned from the position of prime minister and then announced his death.
But all the leaders of Xiqi throughout the ages knew that he was not actually dead, but had lost a place to live in seclusion."
"Where?"
Chen Zhi asked quickly.
"I don't know this either!"
Bao Ping looked at Chen Zhi with a smile,
"At that time, the new king came to power and wanted to retain the prime minister. Jiang Ziya said to the new king.
[From now on, you will be the one to control the world. Human beings have their own weaknesses. There may be endless wars in the future. Be friendly to the descendants of the Jiang family. They can help you keep this barrier, otherwise the world will collapse.
I have some history with a person, and now that I am older, I always go to see him, otherwise I am afraid that he will feel resentful and blame me.
I built Xiqi with my own hands. If there are difficulties in the future, I will help you. If you want to find me, you can blow your feathers and I will come...]
"Blow feathers?",
Chen Zhi repeated the last sentence:
"What feathers?"
"It's probably just an ordinary feather!",
Bao Ping said, adjusting his wrists on his overalls,
"I haven't seen that feather either. It has been kept in Xiqi's secret room, locked in a box. It is said to be an ordinary feather, nothing special.
"In that case...
Then why didn’t Xiqi use it when there was a crisis in the past dynasties?”,
Chen Zhi asked eagerly. In his memory, there were many crises in Xiqi's history, and the royal city was conquered not only once. It was a history of blood and tears.
In this case, why not seek help from Jiang Ziya as early as possible?
"Of course I used it.
But it has no effect! Haha~~",
Bao Ping smiled helplessly,
"According to my adoptive father, Xiqi has encountered countless dangers from ancient times to the present, and almost lost the city many times.
Since a long time ago, the leaders of Xiqi in successive generations have been blowing that feather, waiting for Jiang Shanghui to descend from the sky to rescue Xiqi.
In the end, I found out that it was of no use.
The great witch in the organization even used witchcraft to catalyze the feather, hoping to produce different effects. However, in the end, it was discovered that the feather had no spell attached to it and was just a simple object.
The only difference is that it will never wither and wither, but it is impossible to summon Jiang Ziya with it.
So over time, all the leaders knew that this feather was of no use at all.
So I locked it up as a souvenir and no one took care of it again.”
"So that's it!" Chen Zhi fell into silence after finishing speaking.
"This is really strange. Why did Jiang Ziya leave a meaningless feather as a token?
Is it a prank?
Impossible, this is too boring!
What could that be?
Was he unable to come due to other reasons?
An accident happened?"
"Yes!",
Bao Ping nodded and said:
"Actually, I suspect that there was a problem with the transmission of information from the very beginning.
Maybe Jiang Ziya didn't mean what he said at that time and was misunderstood by the monarch at that time.
Or maybe, he had a beautiful imagination at that time, thinking that he would be able to come back in the future.
And then he went to a certain place, and something unexpected happened there, and he was delayed, or simply encountered an accident and could not come back."
"Went somewhere.
Something unexpected happened!!",
Chen Zhi said silently and began to think about the whole thing coherently from beginning to end.
Bao Ping is right. It is really difficult to trace what happened thousands of years ago. The language, grammar, and worldview at that time were completely different from today, and many things are impossible to speculate on.
Maybe that feather was simply a misunderstanding.
Maybe as Bao Ping said, Jiang Ziya went to a place and met someone.
In the end, an accident happened and he was unable to return to his beloved Xiqi, and even died in a foreign country."
"Don't think too bizarrely...",
At this time, I heard Bao Ping continue to say:
"Thousands of years have passed now. No matter what the outcome is, it is impossible for us to see Jiang Ziya himself.
We all know that the life span of the Son of God is limited, and it is difficult for even gods to survive until now.
Lord Jiang Shang has reached bliss early!
As for that feather, whether it is real or fake, we can only leave one thought.
You don’t have to think about anything else!”
"No, no, no~~",
Chen Zhi shook his head vigorously.
He always felt that something about this matter had been overlooked, which was very strange, but he couldn't explain it.
It felt like there was something right in front of him, but he couldn't see clearly.
"Okay, let's talk about what's going on now!",
When Bao Ping said this, his expression was very serious,
"Chen Zhi, you understand what I mean.
If I can give you that magic ring, you should understand my thoughts. I never really wanted to kill you.
But it's different now.
My knife must stand my ground.
I am not a noble person, but I must stick to this position now.
You can't understand my difficulties.
Now you have to make a choice!
Choose to continue to be with us, or abandon us and inherit your throne!"
When Bao Ping said this, his dark eyes became extremely dark,
"I won't force you!
I won’t tie you up with any morality!
No matter what choice you make, I won't blame you.
but……
If you choose to inherit the throne of God, one of us may die."
"Let's put this matter aside for now!",
After Chen Zhi finished speaking, he stood up from the ground:
"I can't give you an answer now, even if I give you an answer impulsively, it would be false.
I have to understand what Jiang Ziya's purpose was at that time.
I can't figure this out, my mind is still very confused!
We must figure this out! We must..."
"But you will never get this answer!" Bao Ping looked at Chen Zhi and said,
