Compared with Jiang Yingyue and He Qingqiu before him, Xu Wutong really didn't leave any traces in history. "Elegant*Wen*Words*First*Posted" Jiang Yingyue founded the country, He Qingqiu established the country, and then Xu Wutong should rejuvenate the country, but Yun Qing thought about the famous prime ministers and state officials in his mind over and over again. I just couldn't find this person. If it weren't for the sudden intrusion into Diling this time, she would have made preparations in advance and memorized the lives of all the seniors of Moling Jiange.
When getting along with others, Yun Qing mostly uses the Book of Heaven to see through mental barriers, and then relies on precise calculations of people's hearts to break through mental defenses, thereby gaining trust and favor. She still doesn't understand how to get along with someone. Once she meets Jiang Yingyue, He Qingqiu, or even Xu Wutong, who has almost no mental barriers, she will find it difficult to start and at a loss.
However, where does so much deliberateness come from between people? Whether you like it or not, whether you feel refreshed or disgusted, most of these things come from the heart and let nature take its course. It was like Xu Wutong met her for the first time and told her before he made any tests that his first impression of Yun Qing was still very good.
In fact, Yun Qing had high hopes of taking away the sword spirit, but she was still worried about how to convince the other person to leave with her without knowing what the other person was thinking.
She followed Xu Wutong for three days. The two of them walked around and around in the huge imperial capital, passed through noisy and dirty alleys, walked into the splendid mansion, and finally met Gaya Son of Heaven.
In the past three days, Yun Qing finally understood why this person failed to leave his name in history. Because they both hit walls along the way, knocked on countless doors, and received countless rejections.
"gentlemen… "
The two stopped in a slightly damp alley, which was close to the moat. It had rained two days ago, and the river had overflowed and it has not dried up yet.
There is a stone table and several small stone benches deep in the alley. The ground is covered with green moss, and mushrooms are growing between the gaps between the stone slabs. It looks quite shabby. Xu Wutong lifted up his coarse shirt and sat down in front of the stone table. Yun Qing quickly burned all the messy things around him.
"Why did you burn it?" Xu Wutong asked strangely.
"Dirty." Yun Qing sat down and faced him face to face, looking serious when speaking.
Xu Wutong smiled. He looked very ordinary and poorly dressed, but Yun Qing really felt that he looked like a humane saint when he smiled. Both of them looked like they were walking in the world but not stained by the world.
"I don't mind." Xu Wutong paused and then said, "But thank you anyway."
If there is anything different about him, it must be because Xu Wutong was too polite. In the past two days, whether he was treating ordinary people, dignitaries, or Emperor Gaya, his attitude had hardly changed at all. Yun Qing felt that the word "humility" was fully reflected in him. en8.
"Sir, you have worked hard these days." Yun Qing said.
From the time when vassal states existed side by side to the time when the Gaya Dynasty unified the world, a large group of human Taoists traveled around the Beichuan Continent in order to promote the "Tao" they adhered to. Most of them were drowned in the tide of war. These The thought was extinguished without even sparking.
Now that I think about it, Xu Wutong should be this kind of person. Yun Qing has seen it very clearly in the past few days. He has spoken to the common people on the streets, delivered greeting cards to the doors of dignitaries, and even received warm hospitality from Emperor Gaya because of his status as the direct descendant of Mo Ling.
But no one accepted his "Tao".
"Nothing, it's only been three days." Xu Wutong waved his hand and replied with some nostalgia, "I have walked for decades, from the old dynasty to Gaya, and no one can understand."
Yun Qing was silent.
After a while she said again: "I don't understand something."
Xu Wutong did not answer her words, but just asked: "Can you play the piano?"
"Ah?" Yun Qing didn't understand why he jumped to this topic, and besides, she didn't know anything about musical instruments. At first, she relied on freehand paintings to identify sword spirits. Then she met He Qingqiu who wanted her to play chess. Here came Xu Wutong who wanted her to play the piano. It seems that humane cultivation really requires proficiency in chess, calligraphy and painting. .
Xu Wutong knew it by looking at her expression, so he reached out and touched it on the stone table, revealing a rather simple ten-stringed guqin. The curve of the piano surface is smooth, but it looks a bit thick. It should have been changed to adapt to the size of this stone table. The piano started playing by itself as soon as it appeared. It seemed that Xu Wutong was controlling it.
The sound of the piano is deep and distant, melodious and peaceful. It sounds like countless birds returning to their heart nests in the sunset, making people calm down involuntarily.
"What don't you understand?" Xu Wutong closed his eyes and listened to the music.
Yun Qing found that under this voice, his anger was suppressed a lot, and a sense of peace and tranquility gradually rose in his heart.
"Sir, your cultivation is close to that of a saint. Why do you want to get entangled with this worldly person? I remember that the person on the Lutian Holy Altar can directly pour his thoughts into the hearts of thousands of people through the art of transmitting sounds into the ears, so that People’s hearts are convinced.”
Xu Wutong was a little surprised: "Oh? I know that there is indeed a way to do this under the blessing of the Lutian Holy Altar, but what this human saint is doing now is too... rough."
"Sir, I think you can do it too?" Yun Qing asked.
"Of course you can." Xu Wutong nodded, but immediately shook his head, "You shouldn't do this. You have to understand that there is a big difference between the art of tampering with the soul and the persuasion that makes people truly convinced."
Yun Qing agreed: "I understand, but the results are similar. Don't you just want to spread your own way in this land?"
"Do you know what my way is?" Xu Wutong frowned slightly.
Yun Qing listened very carefully these two days, so he quickly replied: "Relax the control of the vassal states and reduce the Gaya Dynasty's infiltration and persecution of other areas."
"This is a technique, or a way to practice the Tao, not the Tao itself." Xu Wutong looked a little solemn, but the sound of the piano was not chaotic at all, still quiet and sweet.
"I hope you can give me some advice, sir." Yun Qing said respectfully.
"With the help of Jiang Yingyue, the Gaya Dynasty unified Beichuan, with cars running on the same track, writing books sharing the same text, and the people enshrining the Moling Sword Pavilion as the state religion. Later, under the guidance of He Qingqiu, they overpowered all the vassal states with their royal way of benevolence and bravery. This continent has established a firm foothold. Both of them have done great feats." Xu Wutong was an excellent eloquent, and he spoke with overwhelming momentum in one breath.
Yun Qing nodded, these are all facts.
"But once Beichuan is unified, the so-called royal orthodoxy will be established, and the small roads followed by countless vassal states will no longer have a foothold." Xu Wutong paused for a moment, and the sound of the piano suddenly rose higher and tremblingly rose into the sky, attracting people's hearts. A tight hit.
Yun Qing understood that Xu Wutong had talked about the key part. All the lobbying in the previous three days had only shown her the surface. Now was the time for the two of them to discuss the truth.
"Do you think there is anything wrong with this Gaya Dynasty?" Xu Wutong asked. He is very able to understand people's thoughts when he speaks. He is not only good at arguing, but also good at analyzing the overall situation and following instructions. No matter how you look at it, he is a rare and famous teacher.
"As destiny dictates, benevolence and righteousness are followed, things are prosperous and the people are prosperous, military fortunes are prosperous, and with the blessing of Moling Sword Pavilion, there is nothing wrong with it." Yun Qing thought for a while and replied.
"The first few are nothing. The protection of the Moling Sword Pavilion is the biggest problem." Xu Wutong shook his head, "Since Jiang Yingyue, in order to ensure that the Moling Taoism can take root and sprout here, countless Moling disciples have gone to the vassal states to lobby. , and even celebrities like He Qingqiu classified the writing and thoughts of all other vassal states as vulgar and alien. This is where the problem lies."
Yun Qing didn't expect that he would directly accuse his own sect. But which holy land of humanity doesn’t do this? Back then, Lu Tiantan’s methods were even more bloody. As soon as Lutian Holy Altar came, all those who disobeyed the Jing Kingdom were slaughtered. The national master directly tampered with the souls of countless people, and the Thirteen Obstacles Aren’t all the little inheritances inside been pulled out in one go
"To put it simply, in the current Gaya Dynasty, everyone has the same idea." Xu Wutong's piano sound was kept at just the right size, not covering up his voice or being drowned out by his voice.
Yun Qing vaguely guessed what he was going to say, but still retorted: "Isn't it good for all people to be of one mind?"
"Of course it is good. But the unity of the people only means that countless people work together, and it does not mean that different ideas cannot be tolerated. Today's Gaya Dynasty has thousands of countries coming to the court, but all the people stick to the old habits, and they are all the same, and there is no need to compete with the world. ." Xu Wutong put his hand on the strings, and all the sounds stopped suddenly.
He slowly said his last words: "Dying in peace, do you understand?"
Yun Qing was still confused and asked: "But the current Gaya Dynasty is so strong that it will not be knocked down by any vassal state. The relaxation of control over the vassal states you proposed will only strengthen the ambitions of surrounding countries... "
"I don't belong to the Gaya Dynasty, I belong to humanity." Xu Wutong said calmly.
Yun Qing suddenly understood what he meant. What he was talking about at the beginning was not on the same level as him. What Yun Qing saw was the prosperity of the Gaya Dynasty and the prosperity of the Mirror Kingdom, but what Xu Wutong was talking about was the entire Taoism.
"All dharma coexist, hundreds of schools of thought contend, and countless inheritances have their rights to exist in the world. If all inheritances are unified, with all due respect, humanity will perish and the great road will be lost." Xu Wutong took the piano back and looked at Yun Qing, He solemnly said, "I don't agree with unification."
"Great Unification" was also proposed by the ancestors of humanity, but the Xu Wutong in front of him looked like an alien in humanity.
"Now I can answer your original question. The reason why I don't need to tamper with the soul technique to make everyone think the same as me is precisely because I despise this kind of spiritual unity."
Xu Wutong stood up, with his hands behind his back, he could vaguely see the holy light in a back alley.
"I think the beauty of the human race lies in the complexity and change of its spirit, and the reason why the Dao of Heaven and Earth is attractive is precisely because of the countless inheritances, which give practitioners thousands of choices, from which you can get a glimpse of all kinds of wonders. If humanity is unified , everyone thinks the same thing, then this orthodoxy might as well perish. Similarly, if countless orthodoxy in the world fall into one kind, it is not the progress of the times, but the demise of the great road."
Yun Qing looked at this man and was amazed. Xu Wutong was different from all the practitioners she had seen before. His love for the Tao does not only stop at a specific inheritance, but even extends to the entire "Tao", the entire unknown and variable world.
"Are you willing to take me out of Zangfeng Pavilion?"
A tiny ray of sunlight penetrated the thick clouds, passed over the raised eaves, and fell on the downcast traveler dressed in coarse cloth.
Yun Qing bowed and saluted, saying: "Thank you for your great love, senior."
Xu Wutong raised his eyebrows and smiled, his demeanor was not inferior to those giants of the human race who dominated the world thousands of years ago.
Then take me to see if such a magnificent avenue of heaven and earth will be destroyed or prospered in the catastrophe.
