Ning Buwen thought he had found the secret and was ready to do something big, but he was stopped by Cheng Yuxue.
This is what happened.
After Emperor Wei Yu realized the power of the divine turtle, Ning Buwen, he wanted to keep Ning Buwen and let him enjoy top treatment in the palace.
This is undoubtedly a good thing.
Even though Ning Bu Wen is a turtle now, he can approach Wei Yu openly and can use the name of "divination" to quickly pass this copy. No matter how you look at it, it is a hundred benefits with no harm.
But Cheng Yuxue didn't think so.
"Your Majesty, although the divine tortoise is naturally good at divination, its body will become weaker every time it makes a prediction. Look, doesn't it have much energy now?" Cheng Yuxue lied with one eye open.
What's the lack of energy
I'm so energetic!
Ning Buwen immediately crawled two steps to show his "full of energy."
"Your Majesty." Cheng Yuxue's face was filled with worry. "The speed of the divine turtle is now less than half of what it was before."
When Wei Yu heard this, he couldn't help but look at Ning Buwen.
How fast does a turtle crawl
Even if Wei Yu's main consciousness created this world, he could not clearly know how fast the turtle crawls and what speed is normal.
Since the Imperial Master said that the Divine Turtle was slow, then... then it must be slow.
"I didn't expect that fortune-telling would consume so much of the divine turtle's power? I was too arrogant to bother the divine turtle with such a trivial matter." Wei Yu's face showed regret. "Master, how can I make the divine turtle recover?"
"You only need to rest for three days." Cheng Yuxue said seriously, "I also know some basic skills. You just need to keep the divine tortoise with you for these three days. My meager magic power may be able to help the divine tortoise recover a little."
"In that case, thank you for your concern, Imperial Master." Wei Yu breathed a sigh of relief and no longer insisted on letting Ning Buwen stay in the palace.
"This is what I should do." Cheng Yuxue answered bluntly.
Ning Buwen was led out of the palace by Cheng Yuxue's sweet words, and he was completely confused.
Is this emperor okay? He is a seventh-generation player after all, why is he so easy to talk to? Can he show some respect to this imperial master who suddenly appeared? !
"Don't even think about leaving me." Cheng Yuxue pinched Ning Buwen's foot, "Wei Yu is not that easy to approach, so don't be impulsive."
… No, you are clearly slacking off. You don't really want to clear the level so quickly.
"I'll take you around the capital city in the next three days." Cheng Yuxue lived up to Ning Buwen's guess and came to this copy world purely to eat, drink and have fun. He was even unwilling to spend more time on Wei Yu.
Ning Buwen knew that even if he wanted to resist, he couldn't.
He could only be carried away by Cheng Yuxue and could not escape even if he wanted to.
"This is my task. Even if you complete it with all your efforts, you won't get any reward. Why are you in such a hurry?" Cheng Yuxue asked a question that destroyed Ning Buwen's inner ambition.
yes.
This is Cheng Yuxue's copy. Even if I work hard here, it will be of no use. Pandora might even deduct Cheng Yuxue's evaluation reward.
After realizing that he was just wasting his time, Ning Buwen immediately retracted his head into his shell.
"Let's go. I'll take you around this world." Cheng Yuxue rudely held the tortoise shell upside down and pulled Ning Buwen's head out of the tortoise shell.
The brain is congested.
Ning Bu Wen was very angry.
What's wrong with this person
"Next time when I talk to you, don't hide in your shell. I heard that a turtle may not die without a shell. Do you want to try it?" Cheng Yuxue said this with a serious look on his face. If Ning Buwen said something he didn't like to hear, he was afraid that the other party would really peel off the turtle's shell.
Ning Buwen quickly nodded to indicate that he understood.
"Be good." Cheng Yuxue finally smiled. "Sometimes I can't control my emotions. I just want to scare you. How could I really peel your shell?"
hehe.
Since you said so, I just listened to it.
Ning Buwen was not stupid enough to believe what Cheng Yuxue said now.
Cheng Yuxue, this guy, probably doesn't have much feeling about death, so when facing other people, his emotions always change quickly. Of course, Cheng Yuxue can control himself, but the key is that he doesn't seem to want to control himself.
This kind of personality makes it really hard for people to approach you.
But Ning Buwen was born adventurous, and this unpredictable feeling made him even more fascinated.
All I can say is, you should use the right lid for the right pot.
Cheng Yuxue said he would take Ning Buwen shopping, and they really went shopping without wasting any time at all.
Early the next morning, I took Ning Buwen to a bun shop that was said to be the most delicious. I ordered a bun of each kind and a small bowl of different porridges.
By the way, since the imperial teacher looked so outstanding, he was confined to a private room.
Ning Buwen can totally enjoy the double space with Cheng Yuxue.
"I have been to a dungeon world in Western fantasy before. Because time flows very slowly, I stayed in that dungeon for almost several decades." Cheng Yuxue picked up a palm-sized bun and elegantly tore it in half. He gave one half to himself and tore the other half into small pieces. He piled them up and pushed them in front of Ning Buwen. "When I was in that world, I really wanted to eat buns, but there were no buns in Western fantasy. I was very angry."
Ning Bu Wen lowered his head and took a bite of the bun crumbs and found it quite delicious. No wonder Cheng Yuxue brought him here.
He didn't want to ask what Cheng Yuxue did after he got angry.
But Cheng Yuxue seemed to be interested, and he continued talking even though Ning Buwen didn't want to know.
"So, I started a war in a rage, kicked the incompetent king off his horse, and became the king myself." Cheng Yuxue said slowly, "The first thing I did after becoming king was to order them to grow wheat so that I could eat buns. After that, I sent merchants to the East to learn skills, hoping that they would bring me a cook back."
Is this a murder caused by steamed buns
Ning Buwen buried his head and ate two bites of the bun, and couldn't help but think.
"But I still didn't get to eat the buns after all." Cheng Yuxue said helplessly, "I was only king for two years, and then I was kicked out."
Ning Buwen raised his head from the pile of buns, his little eyes rolling around.
Is there ever a time when Cheng Yuxue could be defeated by others
"At that time, my strength was not as strong as it is now." Cheng Yuxue said slowly, "Every time a new era begins, I will go through a period of relative weakness. But time doesn't mean much to me, so sometimes I forget that I am still very weak."
Although Cheng Yuxue became king, he forgot that he was no longer the powerful Cheng Yuxue of the past, but a guy who was not much better than a newcomer. Therefore, it was normal for him to be kicked off the king.
"To put it bluntly, my ability to pass dungeons is only average. No, it should be said that I am only at the level of an ordinary person. It is completely different from a genius like you." Cheng Yuxue started to tear off another bun for Ning Buwen. "I have failed dungeons so many times that I can't even count them. My personal physique has almost no other endurance except the ability to resurrect. For a long time, I was able to defeat the enemy by relying on my continuous resurrection and exhausting the enemy to death."
Ning Buwen suddenly felt that the bun had no taste.
He believed this.
It’s not like he hasn’t seen what Cheng Yuxue was like before.
Cheng Yuxue is definitely not a player with outstanding talent. His ability is almost equivalent to waste from a certain perspective, especially in the early days when he didn't even have the ability to protect himself, even if he kept resurrecting, it wouldn't help much. He was able to grow to this point because, firstly, he failed too many times, so he knew how to pass the dungeon; secondly, because he lived a long time, he saw a lot and naturally learned it.
Thinking about it this way, it’s really sad.
But Cheng Yuxue didn't mind it much.
There is one thing about Cheng Yuxue that is worthy of praise, and that is that he is a very tough person.
If he were in other people’s shoes, Ning Buwen didn’t think he could survive like Cheng Yuxue from the third generation to the current eighteenth generation.
Ning Buwen thought that if it were him, he would not be able to bear it for three generations at most.
Gaining and losing again and again, doing useless work again and again, is really not something that ordinary people can endure. Like those survivors, they almost all became distorted and extreme in personality over a long period of time, but Cheng Yuxue has obviously experienced more time and more things than them, but Cheng Yuxue can control his harm within a certain range.
It is not an exaggeration to describe such self-control as "terrible".
For people like him, as long as they don't do evil, it is a great merit to the world.
"I rarely have time to stop and rest so slowly. Even if I wanted to rest before, I was alone." Cheng Yuxue continued, "If you were sitting next to me in human form, I might not say this to you, but now you are a little turtle, so I don't have many concerns. People like me probably lose their appetite. Look, you haven't even finished half of the bun."
Ning Buwen looked at Cheng Yuxue and found that Cheng Yuxue's brows were slightly frowned, and his eyes drooped a little. He was immediately hit by countless guilt.
How powerful is Cheng Yuxue? He is telling me this now, which is undoubtedly a sign that he trusts me more.
But I can't even do such a simple thing as having dinner with him
Ning Buwen wanted to comfort him, but he couldn't say anything nice. He could only eat all the buns that Cheng Yuxue had torn into small pieces for him.
This turtle looks small and delicate, but it is surprisingly good at eating.
When Ning Buwen had almost finished eating the buns, his whole body, no, it should be said that his whole turtle fell on his back, and he could no longer muster any strength.
Cheng Yuxue gave a secret smile, which was not noticed by Ning Buwen.
This is the first time I’ve seen a turtle that’s overfed.
Hahaha.
At night, Cheng Yuxue took Ning Buwen to see the lanterns.
Today, the Dasheng Dynasty is peaceful and prosperous, especially under the emperor's feet, where people live and work in peace and contentment, and there is no curfew at night. Can we hold activities such as temple fairs
Every household hangs lanterns under the eaves, some are exquisite and some are simple, which looks diverse and beautiful.
In their time, such behavior was rare.
It is not easy to survive in the end times, so who would do these things? Such a grand event can probably only be seen in old books, TV shows and movies.
But that's different from seeing it with your own eyes.
Ning Buwen was held by Cheng Yuxue, who was wearing a bamboo hat, and walked on the streets full of lanterns. Looking at the bustling crowd around him, he realized for the first time how wonderful "life" was.
Although there are no neon lights or much entertainment at night in this era, what you see can make people feel happy and satisfied.
Ning Buwen suddenly saw an acquaintance standing in front of a stall.
There was really no way to remind Cheng Yuxue, so he had to stretch out his head and gently bite the back of Cheng Yuxue's hand.
hiss.
What is that? It’s so hard, it hurts my teeth.
Ning Buwen raised his head and saw a small piece of silver appeared in his mouth without him knowing when.
How can this not be hard
"I saw it." Cheng Yuxue knocked on Ning Buwen's tortoise shell, "He saw me too."
"Master... Mr. Cheng." The other party quickly changed his words and walked towards Ning Buwen and Cheng Yuxue with two or three guards. Who else could it be but the current emperor Wei Yu
"I've heard that the Imperial Master has been touring the capital with the divine turtle these days, but I didn't expect to meet him by chance." Wei Yu was indeed a very good emperor. He had a gentle personality, and he didn't put on airs. He knew how to use people well. Even if he wasn't in this dreamland, he would definitely be considered a wise ruler.
The fact that this country has become so good is definitely not just due to its construction, but also inseparable from his governance as an emperor.
It's rare for Ning Buwen to feel a little guilty.
It is not a pleasant thing to break a player's dream that he has worked so hard to achieve.
Perhaps, Cheng Yuxue also thought so, and wanted this player who had also lived from an era long ago to the present to enjoy this beautiful dream more, so he was not in a hurry.
For players who suffer from the hardships of time, such a world is probably the most consistent with their imagination of the land of death.
"Your Majesty, didn't you come out to have fun with the people?" Cheng Yuxue smiled, "Since we have met, if Your Majesty doesn't mind, then let's go together."
"Why would I dislike it?" Wei Yu had no intention of refusing. "I am so happy to be able to watch the world that I have painstakingly governed with the Imperial Master and the Divine Turtle."
Ning Buwen looked at Wei Yu in surprise, wondering if what he said just now had any other meaning
After all, Wei Yu is also a player.
"These lanterns are so beautiful." The emperor was the last one to break the silence in the team of two people and one turtle. "I have loved lanterns since I was very young. I always think that such beautiful things that can illuminate the darkness deserve to be loved by everyone. Unfortunately, I am clumsy and can never make a beautiful lantern."
"Your Majesty is a man of letters and a warrior on the battlefield. It doesn't matter if you can't make lanterns." Cheng Yuxue doesn't praise people easily, but he is good at it, which shows that he must have done this many times before.
If Cheng Yuxue really wanted to please someone, it would be very easy, but he just didn't want to spend the effort.
Ning Buwen felt that he could work hard and try to get Cheng Yuxue to flatter him in the future.
"Is there anything you want, Imperial Master?" Wei Yu turned his head and asked Cheng Yuxue.
Since Cheng Yuxue became the Imperial Master, countless people have offered gold, silver and jewelry but have been refused entry, and Cheng Yuxue has never abused his position for personal gain. Since Wei Yu appointed the other party as the Imperial Master, he must have investigated everything thoroughly.
"I've almost gotten what I wanted." Cheng Yuxue touched Ning Buwen's head and smiled, "And what I can't get, probably no one else can get."
Ning Buwen let Cheng Yuxue touch his head and was very considerate of him and did not resist.
"I see." I don't know if the emperor understood or not, but he did stop asking questions.
They continued walking.
There were people selling snacks, toys, and more expensive items on the street. There was a crowd of people in front of almost every stall, and the faces of the people were all beaming with joy, as if it was the Chinese New Year. They looked very happy.
"As an emperor, I want to see a good harvest and the people live and work in peace and contentment. This is what I want most." Wei Yu bought a dough figurine and walked slowly with it in his hand. "So, I will not let go of those who want to destroy all this, no matter who they are."
Ning Bu Wen couldn't help but look at Wei Yu.
This language hint comes again.
Did Wei Yu remember or not, did he know or not? After repeated tests, Ning Buwen could no longer ignore the danger from Wei Yu.
He may not be unaware of the existence of other players.
Perhaps, it was just because Cheng Yuxue had not made any unusual moves that he had not taken any action
"Your Majesty is wise." Cheng Yuxue seemed not to notice anything wrong with Wei Yu at all, and continued walking with Ning Buwen in his arms.
The scene suddenly became extremely quiet.
In the distance, a figure was watching them quietly, with a slight smile on his face.
"It's almost time. I should go back to the palace." Wei Yu finally stopped probing, not wanting to waste any more time. "I still have some documents to approve. The Imperial Master and the Divine Turtle also need to rest early..."
Before he finished speaking, the ground suddenly began to shake violently.
"The earth is shaking!"
“Hurry, run!”
"Where are my children? My children..."
The originally lively and happy crowd was suddenly dispersed by this sudden disaster.
Trampling, wailing, and panic spread. The lanterns were knocked to the ground, sparks spread like snakes, and in a blink of an eye, they turned into a raging fire.
The houses on the street collapsed, burying almost all the people who were nearby.
"Protect the emperor—"
"Your Majesty, please leave first—"
The guards had no time to care about anything else at this time. Their first task was to escort Wei Yu away first.
Cheng Yuxue also held Ning Buwen and nimbly dodged the pedestrians who were fleeing in a hurry. He also pulled Wei Yu and flew directly to a high place with him.
"National Master, National Master, let me down. My people are still..." Wei Yu didn't care about his own safety at all and wanted to go down to help save people.
"Your Majesty, this is not an ordinary earthquake." Cheng Yuxue held down Wei Yu, making him unable to move. "Before a normal earthquake, there will be signs, not just sudden things like this!"
Ning Bu asked but also reacted.
This earthquake is not normal.
Wei Yu's dream is to build a beautiful world, so how could he do something like this on such a festive day? This is not in line with common sense.
Moreover, such an earthquake could not possibly kill Cheng Yuxue.
"What does the Imperial Master mean?"
"It's not a natural disaster, it's a man-made disaster." Cheng Yuxue answered decisively, "Wei Yu, I want you to stay in this world for a while longer, but unfortunately, some people don't want to."
Wei Yu stood there in a daze.
Ning Buwen was also a little stunned.
What does this mean
"You should wake up from this beautiful dream." Cheng Yuxue's appearance had returned to its original appearance without him noticing, and he was no longer wearing ancient costumes. "People's dreams cannot be full of beautiful things. As long as something bad appears, the beautiful dream will turn into a nightmare. You look at these people below, do you want them to accompany you into a nightmare?"
Cheng Yuxue's voice was not loud, but it was deafening to Wei Yu's ears.
Wei Yu seemed to be frozen in place, standing there blankly. All the sounds around him seemed to be inaudible to his ears.
Do I want to keep going like this
No, of course not.
But at this critical moment, what can he do
Ning Buwen retreated into his shell, trying to calm himself down and sort out his thoughts.
It turns out that in addition to the method that Cheng Yuxue had mentioned before to help Wei Yu fulfill his dream ahead of time, there is another method.
Turn Wei Yu's sweet dream into a nightmare, and he will naturally wake up.
It’s just that Cheng Yuxue didn’t use this method.
Although Cheng Yuxue usually seems to be reckless and dares to do anything, he is actually a peace-loving person, just as he said before. Even if there is a faster way to pass the level, he would rather choose a more peaceful and longer way.
However, it was obvious that there were not only him and Cheng Yuxue who came to this replica world, but also other people.
The other party's target is naturally Wei Yu.
Who could it be
The best case scenario is probably the same players, the worst case scenario is probably the leftovers.
Ning Buwen couldn't help but pray, this must not be the survivor. He is now a turtle, let alone help, it would be good if he doesn't hold back.
But at this time, God obviously did not hear Ning Buwen's prayers.
The surrounding environment quickly changed.
The crying people soon turned into dots of white light and disappeared, and the buildings and fires on the street also disappeared without a trace. It was as if someone was holding an eraser and mercilessly erasing these things.
Wei Yu's expression also gradually changed.
Originally, he looked like a young man, with clean eyes and eyebrows. But now he has white hair and a ruddy complexion, but he looks older. But he stands straight, looks less old, and his eyes are more wise.
Almost everything around disappeared, and it seemed that something was about to break out of Ning Buwen's body. Suddenly, Cheng Yuxue pressed down Ning Buwen's shell.
"Now, be a turtle first." Cheng Yuxue's voice was firm and powerful, "You can be my backup."
Ning Buwen realized that everything might not be that simple.
He raised his head and looked at Cheng Yuxue, and found that there was no panic on his face, as if everything was under his control.
Maybe, it is really under his control!
The author has something to say: Cheng Yuxue: Kill three birds with one stone.
