Chapter One Hundred and Ninety Seven: And the Heart of People
Yan Cang Wan Beast Mountain
Hundreds of lions, tigers and beasts in front formed a battle formation and began to move under the murderous commands of a group of beast masters. Under the control of the imperial seal, the beasts invaded like fire and remained as fast as a mountain. Although they were a little awkward in the cooperation between the two corpses, their discipline was greater than that of some prominent private armies.
If Cao Yanran could see this scene, he would definitely feel very relieved. It turned out that Mao Zong’s relatives did not have the ability to shepherd good wild beasts, but they were just as honestly respected the best. Shijiazong left the best beast species in the villa, which seemed to have no herd beast talents.
Perhaps the Shi brothers are not good at martial arts, but looking at the scene of the ferocious beasts rushing in front of them, who dares to say that Wanbeast Villa is famous and famous?
The beasts rush in the mountains, and in the manor located halfway up the mountain, the owner Shi Muzhi was even more excited.
"Yanyang Sword Master took Xu's disciples back to Yuanzhou. Is the news confirmed??"
The chief of staff said with a heavy emphasis: "It's OK, it's OK. I left the day before yesterday, and no one of the three hundred Xu disciples did not fall. Xu Changhao himself seemed to be in a bad mood. Liu, Nong and He San family heads received the news and wanted to hold a banquet to practice. Yanyang Sword Master refused without giving him a good face. He even pushed all the escorts and only replenished supplies in Lanshan City, and went straight to Longjiang."
"Sir, why did Xu Changhao leave so urgently?"
"I think it might be that Wushuang Academy's coursework is not as good as expected."
The chief of staff stroked his long beard and Zhizhu was in control: "It is rumored that Wushuang Academy has several difficult foundation-building methods, and each has its own magic after it is completed. But in the end, it is just a foundation-building method. Even the marrow-cleaning sutra in the Buddha's Kingdom is not so effective. It is rumored that the disciples brought by Xu Changhao this time are all direct descendants of the sword sects of Yingcheng. Not to mention the origin of family education, the power behind it is even more extraordinary."
"But now more than three years have passed. Judging from the words that the disciples of Yan Cang were visiting disciples, the Xu disciple practiced the most difficult foundation-building method in Wushuang Academy called "Five Elements Holy Spirit Foundation Building Method". The advantages of this foundation-building method are as obvious as the shortcomings. The most qualified disciples of the aristocratic family have only become two holy spirit postures."
"Conservatively estimated that if you want to cultivate the five Holy Spirit postures, it will take at least eight to ten years of hard work. It is really hard to say the pros and cons for spending so much effort to make a taste of acquired energy. But one thing is certain that the sword sects in Yingcheng will never allow their own direct practice of a foundation-building method that takes so long to complete. Therefore, Xu Changhao left in a hurry this time, probably because he was under pressure from Yingcheng!"
The analysis of the staff member shaking his head made Shi Muzhi's face more joyful.
"In this way, will Yingcheng's attitude towards Wushuang Academy undergo a huge change?"
"This is inevitable!"
The chief of staff said with confidence: "And after Xu Changhao returned to Yuanzhou, those swordsmen saw that their disciples failed to achieve success for three or four years, and they would definitely be full of resentment towards Wushuang City. I dare to conclude that after Xu Changhao returned to Yuanzhou this time, no Xu's disciples would be sent to Chixia. Wushuang City had a good life of tiger skins to make a big banner, and it was over!"
"Okay, OK, OK!"
Shi Muzhi gritted his teeth and said, "Now the biggest concern is gone. I will quickly spread the letter from Wushuang City into a manifesto to inform Longzhou that the compensation for the hundred-headed wild beasts in Wanbeast Villa can be ignored, but Wushuang City must hand over the murderer who killed Yuqing, and the two dragon beasts who escaped from Luyang!"
"Master, since we all say we have to pay compensation for hundreds of wild beasts, why do we still have to pursue the two dragon beasts..."
The chief of staff said with concern: "Will this make people see the trick?"
"Damn it!"
Shi Muzhi shouted: "Now that Luyang is truly in power. The seven sect masters of Long Valley in Kanglong Palace are surrounding him. Except for the Beast King, which one of the Beast Control Sect has such a glory. Since the Dragon Beast is the errand assigned by the one, it must be done properly. Only in this way can one ride on that big ship!"
"The owner of the manor is wise!"
The chief of staff praised: "The subordinates only think about one acre and three points of their own manor, but the owner of the manor is in love with the world, and I am absolutely out of reach."
"Sir, what are you talking about?"
Although Shi Muzhi was proud, he still said humbly: "No matter how good the strategy of observing people's situation, someone must control the number of the current situation, and the teacher will have to worry more about it in the future!"
"The owner of the manor is talented and has great strategies. He does not despise his old and disabled person. He dares not to work hard for the villa!"
The chief of staff swears loudly.
"Okay, sir, please write a proclamation to combat the thieves as quickly as possible. The words are as strict as possible. Now we have all the advantages, so we don't have to be polite to Wushuang City."
Shi Muzhi waved his hand and was full of energy, looking down at the beasts in the valley, as if he had stepped on Chixia Mountain under his feet.
...
Chixia Mountain Top Platform
Ou Yu has always not understood why Tang Luo questioned the purpose of retaining this meaningless peak platform. There was still a small floating land hanging on the crystal castle that shone in all directions. As a pure craftsman, it is really difficult to understand this inexplicable sentiment.
But this Unparalleled City is Tang Luo's industry after all. Even if he is the designer, he needs to compromise to some extent. Seeing that the floating top is not a hindrance, it was still retained.
So it took more than ten years to reach that familiar position again. After the scholar struggled to climb to the top of the mountain, he looked at his old friend sitting on the edge of the floating top with his legs hanging on the air, and the wine cup placed beside him, shook his head and walked forward to sit down.
"Oh, I remember that the mountain road was not so steep before. Maybe it's because I'm old now and can't stand the heights."
After struggling to sit down next to Tang Luo, Mibai turned his head to look at Tang Luo beside him, and asked with a smile: "How do you feel when you return to Xu Yi's place after dreaming is completed?"
"It feels? It's okay."
Tang Luo, who was tilting his head, looked at Yunhai and sighed: "It's just that human desires are endless. When the old dream comes, it's just that the new dream begins. He chose an endless career, and I don't know whether it's a good or a bad thing."
"It is a good deed to have a lifelong goal."
As the sea of clouds rolled in front of me, Mi Bai sighed: "If Brother Xu is here, there would be no regrets."
"Brother Xu doesn't have a place for a man in his heart, so let's drink it for him."
Tang Luo said with a smile, and the wine pot by the cliff floated up to pour wine.
It’s still the sweet bamboo leaf green wine, just like the taste of teenagers on the mountain more than a decade ago.
After three rounds of wine, Mi Bai put down the cup when he heard Tang Luo Youyou beside him say: "Old Bai, you should have discovered that you can't save this world by learning martial arts, practicing literature, and practicing medicine."
The hand that Luo Gu froze, Mi Bai lowered his head sadly, and when he lifted it up for a few breaths, he was already calm: "How can you be as good as you wish, but I want to be ashamed of you."
"It's right, but what is this heart?"
Tang Luo asked again: "There are countless entanglements in the world, and my honey, if they all start from their original heart, they are neither good nor evil, but only personal or evil. There are enough people like Xihe."
"This heart is not the original heart."
Beibai shook his head and said.
"If it weren't for the original heart, why was this heart?"
"With the heart of others."
"How can I understand this mind?"
Hearing Tang Luo's question, Mi Bai said seriously: "There are many families in Xihe in the past, but the head of the aristocratic family knows to love their family, but not others' families. Therefore, they can plunder, attack, and exploit other families without any scruples. The same is true for people, only they know how to love their bodies and not others' bodies, so they hurt others without any scruples."
"In this way, Xihe will fight everywhere in the field. The strong will bully the weak, the rich will insult the poor, the noble will be arrogant and the lowly, and the deceit will be foolish. All these are all because of the lack of heart."
Hearing Mi Bai's words, Tang Luo understood what the scholar said and the heart of a human being, and then shook his head and said, "This kind of thing is as nonsense as asking the wolverine not to hunt elk."
"It's not nonsense, the human race has done it."
Mi Bai said in a deep voice: "In the dark era, the human race served as food for monsters. There were demon kings entrenched in all continents. The human race lived in miserable life. But in such an era, countless top saints and families in Xihe rushed to help the most powerful Longzhou where monsters were! Not only are there shining saints, but there are also countless warriors who did not even leave their names. If the predecessors of the human race only cared for their own family and their own family, how could there be the grand occasion of the world today? As well as the hearts of humans, they had truly appeared in the Xihe people. Unfortunately... the hearts of humans disappeared..."
Speaking of the latter, the energetic scholar's expression became gloomy.
"The monsters are gone, and the human heart will naturally disappear."
Tang Luo said lightly: "If you get some, you will naturally lose some. People have always been such a balanced creature."
"Maybe it's just because people's hearts have disappeared for too long that people forget this benefit."
Mi Bai said with a heartache: "Maybe for the aristocratic families, plundering and fighting are the fastest ways, but it must not be the best. Xiga still has so many wilderness lands that have not been explored by anyone, but every aristocratic family is afraid of being taken advantage of by other aristocratic families, so they would rather stick to one place than move outward. If they can cooperate with the hearts of others!"
It seemed that I felt something when I thought that Jie Jiangcheng, who is still the same as the ruins, was filled with pain and regret.
He never felt that he was smart, and those who could govern aristocratic families were not mediocre, but why did everyone turn a blind eye to this better choice? He didn't understand, so he was in pain.
"Maybe, I can help you and see if it can arouse the hearts of the world?"
"Come to Wushuang City and make this your first stop. If possible, I hope you can add some human heart to the old stubborn people in Wushuang City."
Tang Luo's sudden sentence surprised the scholars. After careful consideration, Mi Bai nodded and said, "So where should I start?"
“Maybe it can start with the Town Hall.”
Tang Luo shrugged: "That is where Wushuang City formulates all policies and a hub for information exchange. If you can influence the people in the city hall, you can affect the entire Chixia Mountain. It is perfect to start implementing your ideas from here."
"OK!"
The beige is heavy on the head, as if he has made some promise to himself.
Looking at his old friend who was leaving the genting hand with his hand, Tang Luo turned his attention to the tumbling sea of clouds again, his eyes blurred and wondered what he was thinking.
"Are you going to see it quickly if you are not stained with mud, or if you are close to red and red, you are close to ink?"
After quietly moaning, Tang Luo faced the sea of clouds and said lightly: "If you don't recover from your injuries, why are you here to float on the top?"
"Report to the Dean!"
Yun Xiaoxiao quietly appeared on the floating roof. The innocent young man looked flustered at this moment: "What a big deal happened. Shi Muzhi from Yancang Wanzhou Villa issued a manifesto saying that even if he gave up compensation, he would pursue the thief hidden in Chixia Mountain!"
"oh."
Tang Luo responded lightly: "You should go to the city hall to notify the speakers of this matter to discuss countermeasures."
"No, my subordinates don't trust them!"
Yun Xiaoxiao said angrily: "Even though there were only a few wild beasts at the ferry entrance, the Speaker would admit the number of lies in Wanzhou Villa. He often made stupid moves and left such a big handle. His subordinates asked the Dean to enter the city hall and make things right."
...
In the Wushuang City Council Hall at this time
The members of the city hall became the target of criticism. Although they had previously taken action due to the Dragon Beast, they had already expected that they would be at a disadvantage in public opinion, and the soldiers were also ready to fight correctly.
But who would have thought that after seeing the letter from Dragon Valley, the attitude of the city hall would change by 180 degrees, from a death battle to a reparation.
Meng Jiao was unwilling to accept this idea, but Du Ting had already asked the dean for advice and made the matter clear.
No one in Wushuang City will disobey the dean's intentions. Those who know his identity will not know him, and those who don't know his identity will not know him, so this strategy of being "passed" is like implementing it decently.
But Du Ting never expected that Wanzhou Villa, as a relative of Mao Zong, would be so despicable. He actually copied the letter from Wushuang City after the manifesto, completely confirming that the thirty wild beasts were still in the fault of their own.
When Du Ting saw the humble tone on the letter, he wanted to hold his mouth!
But what's the use of complaining about each other now? The most urgent thing is to come up with a solution.
"Now it is not just Wanbeast Villa, but also the Iron Wing Family, the Dragon Village, Qiandeng Peak, and Golden Lion Valley. These Dragon Continental Beast Control Lines, which are related to the Beast Control Sect, issued a letter of support almost as soon as Shi Muzhi issued a proclamation!"
"In addition, there are other aristocratic families that have not been in contact with the same college, and they are also speaking out about this matter. Our situation is very passive. If we do not hand over the "thief" at the time of the proclamation, what we have to face is probably not just Wanzhou Villa. Judging from the beast-driven lineage and the tone of these aristocratic families, what they want to do is not just support!"
Du Ting lost power and was naturally not suitable for talking in the city hall, so Du Ling was the one who spoke for him.
After analyzing the situation in front of him, he said to everyone: "Now is not a time to act voluntarily. We must not let Chixia Mountain be involved in this completely disadvantageous battle. If you have any way to break the situation, please come up quickly!"
Looking around, everyone was silent. Du Ling coughed lightly and said, "Since everyone has no idea, I will give you an idea. Please refer to it."
"Shi Muzhi's manifesto said that he was willing to give up compensation from the wild beasts, as long as we hand over the evil spirit, so my idea was that we could pretend to agree and hand over both Meng Jiao and the dragon beast. It would be impossible to escape with the strength of Commander Meng."
"In this way, we not only completed the explanation of Wanshou Villa, but also protected Commander Meng. As long as we show up less in the future, we will wait until the lord "released the ban"..."
