After a brief hesitation, Mingyue quickly walked out of the palace and followed Wu Dongfang, "Did I say something wrong?"
Wu Dongfang shook his head.
Mingyue didn't speak anymore. She knew Wu Dongfang. Wu Dongfang was very casual, but being casual didn't mean he was easy to get along with. He was very clear about the difference between closeness and distance. He showed tolerance and generosity towards people who didn't matter. degree, but correspondingly, he will not be sincere for such people. For relatives and friends, his requirements will increase accordingly. The better he is to one person, the higher his requirements will be for the other person. However, he will not clearly put forward his requirements for the other person, let alone tell the other person what he wants the other person to do. Instead, he hopes that the other party can carefully perceive his thoughts and give a tacit response.
Wu Dongfang's words and deeds during this period showed that she must have provoked him, just like she didn't open the door for him back then, so it was his nature to leave in anger. But this matter was more serious than not opening the door back then. The reason why Wu Dongfang still talked to her now was because of the emotional foundation between the two over the years. Wu Dongfang's expression of dissatisfaction actually left an opportunity for her. Because Wu Dongfang at this time is no longer the same as Wu Dongfang more than ten years ago. If he deliberately hides it, no one will know what he is thinking.
Accompanying Wu Dongfang back to the bedroom, Ming Yue touched the teapot and said, "The water is cold. I'll change it to hot water."
Wu Dongfang nodded, pulled out the chair on the east side of the table and sat on it.
After a while, Ming Yue returned, poured a glass of water for Wu Dongfang, and sat opposite Wu Dongfang, "No matter what decision you make, I will support you."
"What do you mean?" Wu Dongfang frowned and looked at Ming Yue.
"Do what you want to do, even if you never come back, I won't blame you." Ming Yue said.
"What a mess." Wu Dongfang stood up from his seat, "I'm going out for a while."
"Wait a minute." Ming Yue stood up and grabbed Wu Dongfang, "I know I must have done something wrong, but I really can't figure out where I went wrong. Can you tell me?"
"You did nothing wrong. I have been restless and in a bad mood during this period. I went out to relax." Wu Dongfang Tudun disappeared.
After appearing in the seaside cave, Wu Dongfang raised his energy and took off into the air, descending from the air to the south, retracing the old path he had taken with the prince.
What he told Ming Yue before was true to his heart. Ming Yue did not do anything wrong. If Ming Yue had to say that Ming Yue did something wrong, it was because Ming Yue didn't understand him. In Ming Yue's view, he had a hero complex and would do anything for the sake of Ming Yue. In fact, he is not such a person at the expense of his own self at the expense of righteousness. Although he did many things that were beneficial to the country after he came back, he did not have a fanatical sense of mission and responsibility deep in his heart. The reason why he did some things was Because he wants to do it, but he also knows very well that it is not his obligation. He can do it or not, he can do it if he wants to do it, and he can give up at any time if he doesn't want to do it.
Ming Yue asked him to choose the world, which was actually a misunderstanding of him. She thought he was very noble and wanted to do that deep down in his heart. Until the previous moment, Ming Yue didn't realize that he was wrong. She always thought that he was very noble in his heart. Chu wanted to leave, but out of consideration and love for him, she chose to let him do what he wanted to do.
If a person does too many things that he shouldn't do, over time, others will think that he should do that. If he doesn't do it, it is treason and moral corruption. But these people forget that these are not the person's obligations.
In fact, he is not that noble. He doesn't want to leave. In his mind, Ming Yue is the first priority. The world is not named Wu, so why should he sacrifice himself to make millions of families happy.
If these words could come out of Ming Yue's mouth, he would feel very happy, but Ming Yue didn't say anything. Instead, she said to him, 'The world comes first, and the people are the most important. 'If he refuses to leave here, the world will call him a coward and a low-level person. This in itself is a kind of moral kidnapping. It's okay if others kidnap him. Even Ming Yue kidnaps him because of his own righteousness. This is what makes him most angry.
But what makes him even more angry is that once faced with a choice, he can either advance or retreat, go ahead, he feels uncomfortable, God knows where he will travel to next, and God knows whether he can come back again. If you don't go, there will be many people scolding him, and Ming Yue will feel very uncomfortable, because in Ming Yue's view, he chose to stay because of her, and the negative consequences will make Ming Yue feel very guilty. .
In fact, Ming Yue is not to blame for this. Ming Yue’s father Ming Zhen was a great hero and died heroically in order to protect the Jin clan. In current terms, Ming Yue belongs to the second generation of officials. The second generation of officials in the Xia Dynasty and the modern officials. There is a huge difference between the second generation. At this time, the second generation official attaches great importance to honor and has a noble character. He will be the first to rush to danger and can sacrifice himself to protect his people. Therefore, in Ming Yue's view, he also has this kind of noble character. In fact, he does not possess the character. This difference is not a difference in temperament, but a difference caused by different outlooks on life. It is difficult to communicate and eliminate.
After walking a hundred miles, Wu Dongfang fell to the ground and Tu fled back to the bedroom. He couldn't bear to let Ming Yue get sad and angry.
Ming Yue was sitting at the table in a daze at this time. When she saw him returning, she recovered her thoughts and stood up.
"You are the first in my heart, and everyone in the world is the second. If I have to choose one of the two, I will choose you without hesitation. Don't force me to choose them. I am not that noble." After Wu Dongfang finished speaking, he picked up the teacup on the table and drank it in one gulp.
Ming Yue was stunned when she heard this, "Do you really think so?"
"Yes, why should a capable donkey work more? If I want to work, I can work. If I don't want to work, no one can force me. The more you force me, the less I will stop." Wu Dongfang tilted his head and said.
"How could I bear to force you? I don't want you to leave, but you are the leader of wizards. There are some things that only you have the ability to do." Ming Yue said.
"If there is a fire pit in front of me, and I can save the world by jumping in, will you let me jump too?" Wu Dongfang raised his voice.
"No, no, no, I'm worried that you will wrong yourself for me. I don't want to drag you down. I want you to do what you want to do." Ming Yue explained eagerly.
"As I said before, as long as it doesn't affect my relatives and friends, I don't mind helping others, but there is a bottom line for my helping others, that is, it cannot affect my family and friends." Wu Dongfang picked up the teapot and spoke directly to Drink water from the spout.
"I understand." Ming Yue said softly.
"Just understand. I'm so narrow-minded. If you like a selfless hero, you can find someone else. I'm not one." Wu Dongfang put down the teapot, walked to the bed and lay down.
Although she was choked by Wu Dongfang, Ming Yue was not angry. On the contrary, she was very moved. She knew that she had a heavy weight in Wu Dongfang's heart, but she did not expect it to be so important.
She did not expect that it was not because she was stupid, but because of the influence of living environment and social customs. At this time, the status of women was very low. A man could marry several women. Even her father Ming Zhen had several side wives. This kind of The situation resulted in women having low expectations for themselves and being easily satisfied. She had been flattered by Wu Dongfang's attitude towards her before. She never thought that women could reach such a high level in the hearts of men.
"I thought of it." Ming Yue quickly walked to the bed.
"What?" Wu Dongfang glanced at Ming Yue.
"If you leave this time and are not allowed to return, you will not go." Ming Yue said.
Wu Dongfang turned over and sat up, frowning and thinking. As Ming Yue said, if there was no return, he would definitely not go. The Three Epochs Peeping Life shows that he went to the underworld, which means that no matter where he goes, he will definitely do it when he is done. Can reunite with Ming Yue again.
"You're right, why didn't I think of it?" Wu Dongfang said.
After confirming that Wu Dongfang's subsequent departure was just a separation and not a farewell, the two were in a good mood. Ming Yue said, "Remember it again, when did you come here?"
"I really don't remember. By the way, you can ask Mingwan. On the day I came here, she was fishing by the water." Wu Dongfang said.
"I asked her yesterday. It's been too long and she can't remember it clearly." Ming Yue shook her head and said.
Wu Dongfang frowned and said nothing. After a moment, he suddenly remembered something, "I counted the days before I came here. I saw Mingwan for two consecutive days. Then Mingwan didn't go to the river for half a month. I waited for her to go again. When I was there, I met some Fire Tribe men. Those Fire Tribe men wanted to bully her, so I killed them. The families of these Fire Tribe men must know the specific time when they disappeared."
"Seventeen days?" Ming Yue confirmed.
"Yes, seventeen days, I can be sure of this. I was counting the days at first, but then I gave up when I found that the number of days I calculated had no meaning." Wu Dongfang got up and went to the ground, "I will go to the Fire Tribe right away to ask Xin Tong helped me verify this matter."
"The number of days in the lunar calendar and the lunar calendar are also different. There are also leap months and leap years. I am not good at calculations. I need to find someone who is proficient in mathematics to make calculations. There will be two results. If one of them has expired, then the other One is the specific time. Even if neither of them expires, then we will probably prepare twice." Ming Yue said.
"I know one. There is an old wizard from the Tu tribe. He was the one who made the Eight Stars Lianzhu back then..."
"Si Ruo, please see the Holy Wizard of the Five Clans." Si Ruo's shout came from the front hall.
Wu Dongfang frowned suddenly when he heard the sound. Siruo's voice was very urgent, and she came to visit in person, which meant that the search led by her was likely to have results.
The two quickly went out and came to the front hall. Siruo was standing outside the hall at this time. Seeing the two coming, she hurriedly greeted them, "Holy witch, we found them!"
"Don't be anxious, come into the room and talk." Wu Dongfang pointed to the main hall.
Si Ruo nodded in agreement and followed the two of them into the main hall.
"Where?" Wu Dongfang asked.
"In the Kunlun Mountains." Siruo pointed to the northwest.
"Kunlun Mountain? How did you find it?" Wu Dongfang frowned. He had previously defined a search range and searched the inhabited area for a hundred miles into the mountain. Kunlun Mountain was obviously beyond the search range.
"We didn't look for it, someone gave us clues." Si Ruo said.
"Who?" Wu Dongfang asked.
"The female demon is the zombie woman who once participated in the fight but left midway." Si Ruo said.
"How are you sure that the clues it provides are exactly what we are looking for?" Wu Dongfang asked. The female zombie was indeed wandering around the Kunlun Mountains before. In order to accumulate strength, this guy rushed into the mountains and killed several Jin tribe women. .
"Not long ago, I followed the location it said to investigate and found a huge cave. The black iron gate that sealed the cave was engraved with strange snake-man graphics..."
