Compared with Jiang Yingyue and He Qingqiu before him, Xu Wutong really didn't leave any traces in history. Jiang Yingyue established the country, He Qingqiu established the country, and Xu Wutong should be able to rejuvenate the country in the future, but Yun Qing thought over and over again of the famous ministers in his mind, but he couldn't find this person. If it weren't for the suddenness of entering Diling this time, she must have prepared in advance and memorized the lives of all the seniors of Moling Jiange.
When getting along with others, Yun Qing mostly uses the heavenly book to see through the heart barriers, and then uses the precise calculation of people's hearts to break through the heart barriers, so as to gain trust and favor. She still doesn't know how to get along with a person. Once she meets Jiang Yingyue, He Qingqiu, or even Xu Wutong, who has almost no mental barriers, she will feel difficult and at a loss.
However, where do so many intentions come from between people? Whether you like it or not, whether you feel happy or disgusted when you look at it, most of these things come from the heart and go with the flow. It's as if Xu Wutong told her that he had a good first impression of Yun Qing when he saw her for the first time before making any temptations.
In fact, Yun Qing already had great hopes of taking this sword spirit away, but she was still struggling with how to persuade the other party to leave with her without knowing what the other party was thinking at all.
She walked by Xu Wutong's side for three days. The two of them walked and stopped in the big imperial capital, went around in circles, passed noisy and dirty alleys, and walked into the magnificent mansion. Finally, they met Gaya emperor.
In the past three days, Yun Qing finally understood why this person failed to leave his name in history. Because the two of them bumped into walls along the way, knocked on the doors of countless people, and received countless rejections.
"gentlemen… "
The two stopped in a slightly damp alley, which was right next to the moat. It had rained for the past two days, and the river hadn't dried up until now.
In the depths of the alley, there is a stone table and several small stone benches. The ground is covered with green moss, and mushrooms grow in the gaps between the stone slabs. It looks rather shabby. Xu Wutong flipped up his coarse cloth shirt and sat down in front of the stone table, Yun Qing quickly burned all the messy things around.
"Why did you burn it?" Xu Wutong asked strangely.
"Dirty." Yun Qing sat down, facing him face to face, with a serious expression when talking.
Xu Wutong smiled. He looked very ordinary and dressed poorly, but Yun Qing really felt that he looked like a saint of humanity when he smiled.
"I don't mind." Xu Wutong paused, then continued, "Thank you anyway."
If you want to say that there is something different, it must be that Xu Wutong is too polite. In the past two days, no matter whether he was dealing with common people, dignitaries, or Emperor Gaya, his attitude had hardly changed. Yun Qing felt that the word "humility" was vividly reflected in him.
"Sir, you have worked hard these few days." Yun Qing said.
From the era when the vassal states existed side by side to the Gaya Dynasty’s dominance of the whole world, a large group of Taoist practitioners in Beichuan traveled all over the world in order to promote the "Tao" they insisted on. Most of them were submerged in the tide of war. These thoughts It was extinguished without even sparking.
Now that I think about it, Xu Wutong should be this kind of person. Yun Qing also saw it clearly in the past few days, he gave speeches to the common people on the street, delivered invitations to high officials and nobles, and even received hospitality from Emperor Gaya because of his status as the direct descendant of Mo Ling.
But no one accepted his "Tao".
"It's 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, no one can understand."
Yun Qing was silent.
After a while she said again: "I don't understand."
Xu Wutong didn't answer her, but asked, "Can you play the piano?"
"Ah?" Yun Qing didn't understand why he brought the topic here, and she didn't know anything about musical instruments. In the beginning, the sword spirit was identified by those freehand paintings, and then He Qingqiu who asked her to play chess, and here came another Xu Wutong who asked her to play the piano. It seems that the practice of humanism really requires mastering everything .
Xu Wutong knew it by looking at her expression, so he reached out and wiped the stone table, revealing a rather crude ten-string guqin. The surface of the piano has smooth curves, but it looks a bit thick. It should have been changed to suit the size of this stone table. As soon as the piano appeared, it played by itself, and 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 in the afterglow of the setting sun returning to their heart nests, making people calm down involuntarily.
"Is there anything you don't understand?" Xu Wutong closed his eyes and listened quietly to the sound of the piano.
Yun Qing found that under this voice, the hostility was suppressed a lot, and a sense of peace and peace gradually rose in her heart.
"Mr.'s cultivation level is close to that of a human saint. Why do you have to get entangled with this worldly person? I remember that the person on the altar of Lutian could directly infuse his thoughts into the hearts of thousands of people with the technique of sound transmission, so that People are convinced."
Xu Wutong was a little surprised: "Oh? I know that under the blessing of the Lutian Altar, there is indeed a way to do this, but now this sage is too... rough."
"Sir, you must be able to?" Yun Qing asked.
"Of course." Xu Wutong nodded, but immediately shook his head again, "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 believe."
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 she quickly replied: "Loosen the control over the vassal states, and reduce the Gaya Dynasty's infiltration and persecution of other regions."
"This is art, or the method of practicing Tao, not Tao itself." Xu Wutong looked a little solemn, but the sound of the piano was not disturbed at all, and it was still peaceful and pleasant.
"I hope you can give me some pointers." Yun Qing respectfully said.
"With the help of Jiang Yingyue, the Gaya Dynasty unified Beichuan. The cars were on the same track and the books were in the same language. The people enshrined the Moling Jiange as the state religion. Later, under the guidance of He Qingqiu, they overwhelmed all the vassal states with benevolence and bravery. We have established a firm foothold on this continent. What both have done is a great feat." Xu Wu is very good at eloquence, and he speaks in one breath with force.
Yun Qing nodded, these are all facts.
"But once Beichuan is unified, the so-called kingly orthodoxy will be settled, and the small roads practiced by countless vassal states will no longer have a foothold." Xu Wutong paused, and the sound of the piano rose tremblingly into the sky, attracting people's hearts In a tight.
Yun Qing understood that Xu Wutong had reached the key point, and all the lobbying in the past three days was just to show her the surface, and now is the time for the two to discuss.
"Do you think there is anything wrong with this Gaya dynasty?" Xu Wutong asked. He is very good at understanding people's thoughts when he speaks. He is not only good at debating, but also good at analyzing the overall situation.
"Fate's destiny, benevolence and righteousness, Wufu Minfeng, martial arts prosperity, and the protection of Moling Jiange, there is nothing wrong with it." Yun Qing thought for a while and replied.
"The first few are nothing, but the protection of Moling Jiange is the biggest problem." Xu Wutong shook his head, "Since Jiang Yingyue, in order to ensure that Moling's orthodoxy can take root here, countless Moling disciples have gone to the vassal states to lobby , and some celebrities like He Qingqiu listed the writings and thoughts of all other vassal states as vulgar and alien. This is the problem."
Yun Qing didn't expect that he would directly accuse her school. But which holy place of humanity doesn't do this? The method of Lutian Temple back then was even more bloody. As soon as the Lutian Altar came down, those who disobeyed Jingguo were slaughtered. The national teacher directly tampered with the souls of countless people. Aren't those small inheritances in it all pulled out in one go
"To put it simply, in the current Gaya dynasty, everyone has the same idea." Xu Wutong's piano sound kept just the right size, and it would not cover up his voice, nor would it be covered by his voice.
Yun Qing vaguely guessed what he was going to say, but still retorted: "Isn't it good for Wanmin to be single-minded?"
"Naturally, it is good. But the unity of the people just means that countless people work together, not that different ideas cannot be tolerated. Today's Gaya Dynasty has thousands of nations coming to court, but all the people stick to the old habits, and everyone is the same, and there is no competition in the world. .” Xu Wutong put his hands on the strings, and all the sounds stopped abruptly.
He said the last sentence slowly: "When you say die in peace, do you understand?"
Yun Qing was still puzzled, she asked: "But the current Gaya dynasty is so strong that it will not be defeated by any vassal state. The relaxation of control over vassal states you proposed will only strengthen the ambitions of neighboring countries..."
"I don't belong to the Gaya dynasty, I belong to humanity." Xu Wutong said plainly.
Yun Qing suddenly understood what he meant, and what he was talking about with himself at the beginning was not on the same level. What Yun Qing saw was the prosperity of the Gaya Dynasty and the prosperity of the Jing Kingdom, but Xu Wutong was talking about the entire orthodoxy.
"All laws coexist, a hundred schools of thought contend, and countless inheritances have their rights to exist in the world. If all inheritances are unified, forgive me, humanity will perish, and the way will be lost." Xu Wutong took the piano back, looked at Yun Qing, He said solemnly, "I don't agree with unification."
"Great unification" was also proposed by the predecessors of Humanity, but Xu Wutong in front of him looks like an alien in Humanity.
"Now I can answer your initial 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, but he could faintly see the light of the Holy Light in the back alley.
"I think the beauty of the human race lies in the complexity and variety of its spirit, and the reason why the Dao of Heaven and Earth attracts people is precisely because of the countless inheritances, which give practitioners thousands of choices, and you can get a glimpse of all kinds of magic. If the human way is unified , everyone thinks the same thing in their hearts, then this orthodoxy might as well be destroyed. Similarly, if countless orthodoxy in the world belong to one, it is not the progress of the times, but the demise of the Dao."
Looking at this person, Yun Qing was amazed, Xu Wutong was different from all the practitioners she had seen before. His love for the Dao does not 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?"
Slight rays of sunlight penetrated the thick clouds, skimmed over the corners of the eaves, and fell on the downcast traveler in coarse clothes.
Yun Qing bowed and saluted, and said, "Thanks to senior's love."
Xu Wutong raised his eyebrows and smiled, his demeanor was not inferior to those giants of the human race who ruled the world thousands of years ago.
Then take me to see, to see whether such a magnificent avenue of heaven and earth will go to destruction or prosperity in the catastrophe.
