The Yin Shang Dynasty inherited the Dongyi people's habit of believing in divination, and every divination must go north. They called the immortal god in the north Xuan Ming. In fact, in the Yin Shang Dynasty, "Ming" and "武" both meant the same thing.
For this reason, both the Grand Master's Mansion and the Royal Palace were in the north to show his nobility, so Wu Ding took Shen Lian to the far south, where he found an elegant wine shop and opened a separate room for drinking. It faced the river below and ancient trees were planted on the opposite side. Liu, although it is not a very scenic spot, it is still very pleasant to drink and sing.
What's more, eating dragon liver and dragon meat and drinking century-old immortal brew are very satisfying.
Wu Ding drank three drinks in a row at first to eliminate the many unspeakable complex emotions in his heart, and then he looked at Shen Lian, this strange person that he didn't know how to treat.
Shen Lian muttered: "Just say what you want to say, a man, a real man, say whatever you want."
Wu Ding said: "Actually, I don't understand you very well. You said Mr. Guan Longzi, why did he choose to die when he clearly had countless opportunities to survive? Is death more attractive than life?"
Shen Lian said leisurely: "Actually, you are right, only the living are qualified to enjoy the good things, and the dead have nothing. I once heard a saying, 'Death is nothing,' so since I was young, I have One goal is to live and try to enjoy all the good things. People like Guan Longzi are the representatives of stupidity in my eyes."
Wu Ding looked a little stunned. He had thought that Shen Lian would praise Guan Longzi, but that was not the case at all. He added, "Why do I always feel a little strange when I see you this time."
Shen Lian said calmly: "This is not surprising. The me you see this time is very different from the me in the past. To tell you the truth, I have reached the realm of Taiyi. You must know what this means. What are you wearing?”
After Wu Ding heard these words, he almost spit out all the wine he drank. He said: "If others brag about their own realm, even if it is true, I will be a little disdainful of that person's character, but you said it, That kind of high-spirited attitude makes me feel no ill feelings at all, but to be honest, I feel bitter inside now.”
The ancient willows by the river sway in the wind. Although it is already the freezing season, the skinny branches are still elegant and calm.
But Wu Ding couldn't be as elegant and calm as Gu Liu. At this time, he wished he could drink a large jar of wine in one breath.
Shen Lian smiled lightly and said: "You must think that as long as Shen Lian is still in the Heavenly Immortal Realm, with the gathering of strong men in Chaoge City, if you can keep me here, you won't have to pay a big price. Then you, Wu Ding, will still be able to You can beg for mercy and let me go, Shen Lian, so that you can protect your morality. Although it will make those close to you unhappy, it is the best you can do. Now Shen Lian Entering Chaoge with more tyrannical strength will make your best plans shattered, and you can't help but feel bitter and unspeakable. "
Wu Ding sighed: "You can save some face for me, but now I feel that I am actually very ugly inside."
Shen Lian said: "The human heart is inherently ugly, is Shen Lian completely upright? Don't talk about me, even Tianyi and your master have a dark side. Even the supreme and transcendent Yuanshi Tianzun once had the Yuanshi Tianmo. Because of the appearance of ugliness, people will hate it and strive to pursue beauty. In this regard, as long as there are creatures in the world, there is not much difference. The only difference is that everyone recognizes beauty differently. Just, as you said, I am pouring this muddy water to bring you unhappiness and to make myself unhappy, but you are not me, so it is difficult for you to understand that there is my happiness in that unhappiness. "
Wu Ding couldn't help but feel discouraged. Until now, he had no idea how to persuade Shen Lian. He originally wanted to tell Shen Lian everything about the girl in red that he saw today, but now he couldn't bring it up. He only regretted that he was powerless. , unable to influence them.
He sighed and said: "What are you going to do next? To be honest, I already understand that nothing can be hidden from you."
Shen Lian smiled and said: "Mr. Doumu Yuanjun, for the first time in these long years, she broke the vows for someone and appeared in the nether world. She came to Chaoge City with the intention of teaching me a profound lesson. How can I, Shen Lian, have the nerve to leave just now? Go and let her sing a one-man show, so the next step is to satisfy her and let everyone compete happily. No matter what goals she has or what goals I have, from this time on, I can always have a rough idea. I know, if you say this is not simplifying a complicated matter, everyone will be happy."
Wu Ding said: "Since you know so much, are you really sure that you can escape unscathed?"
Shen Lian said: "To be honest, I don't understand Lord Doumu Yuan's methods, and I'm not sure if there is a conflict, but it doesn't matter. She doesn't know what Shen Lian is capable of today, but before that, I'm more interested in the Simuwu Ding in Chaoge City."
"Si Muwu Ding is Zu Jia's hard work, and it is known as the root of the earth. It is connected to my Yin Shang ancestry. You have plans for it. It seems that you don't want to talk about it at all. I don't understand. Why do you have to do it? You're so awesome, I thought you wouldn't be that kind of person," Wu Ding said after taking another sip of wine.
Shen Lian paid attention to the ancient willows by the river. Suddenly, the ancient willows were injected with life. In this cold winter, branches sprouted and countless catkins were reborn. They were flying in the wind, which was better than the flying snow and fell on the quiet river. It was endlessly charming. It caused many pedestrians to stop and watch.
He said calmly: "That's not the best thing to do. I started too late. I can only do extraordinary things, do extraordinary things, and achieve extraordinary achievements. In fact, you still don't know. Tianyi definitely doesn't want to be simple. Xia is as simple as Xia. In this game, neither he nor I want to just be pawns step by step, so we can simply fight more fiercely, or even overturn the chessboard, and then everyone will be happy."
Wu Ding was completely unable to understand the profound meaning of Shen Lian's words, but he realized that Shen Lian did not do what he did today out of hatred for the Yin Shang Dynasty, but what his true purpose was was beyond his knowledge.
But this already made him feel a little better.
After Shen Lian finished speaking, he picked up the wine glass. This was his first and last glass of wine today.
He told Wu Ding that it was completely unintentional. In fact, it was not false, but it was not true either. Whoever called him Wu Ding was in the destiny of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, so Chao Ge's plan to kill Shen Lian must have relied on Wu Ding's amazing luck.
During the conversation just now, Shen Lian had already gained a lot of information from Wu Ding.
In fact, from the moment he entered Chaoge, he knew that he had fallen into a killing array. If his Qi showed a flaw, there would be no room for relief.
Wu Ding, intentionally or unintentionally, became his cover.
