Volume 1 The Butterfly That Can't Fly Through the Sea Chapter 71 Takes You to See the Truth
"God, dominion over a city. ”
"Zhaoxing is a god, and he rules over the land of several cities. ”
"Zhaoyue is a god, ruling over the land of a state. ”
"Zhaoyang Zhengshen is the territory where it goes, and it is its territory. Enjoy the incense of the dynasty's society, sit on an equal footing with the imperial power, and even override the imperial power, turning the entire kingdom into his divine kingdom. ”
"Therefore, throughout the ages, there have been countless yin gods and yang gods in the nine northern countries, and the collapse of the dynasty is not counted, but counting carefully, there are only a handful of people who can be named the righteous god of Zhaoyang by a dynasty. ”
"It took forty years for the old snake to go from Zhengshen to Zhaoxing, but it only took six years to walk from Zhaoxing to Zhaoyue, whether he can take the next step, how long it will take, God doesn't know, I don't know. ”
Standing in the Dragon King Temple in Wupan City, Wei looked at the statue of the god in front of him who was holding thunder and lightning and stepping on the wind and clouds, and said slowly with a calm gaze.
"Unlike the usual gods who feed on incense, he has learned that method somewhere, and what he devours is the luck of the land under his jurisdiction and the power of the living, which has rarely been born in the past few years where his temple is located. ”
"That's why Mr. Wei and Mr. Lu insist on being his enemy?" asked the orange-clothed girl on the side.
"They...... Reading is stupid, admitting death, there should be this catastrophe. Wei Lai said with a smile, but in the depths of his smile was a bitterness that Ah Cheng could see through at a glance.
The woman was silent for a while before she said, "What about your solution?"
Wei Lai glanced at Ah Cheng, who was still calm, and his gaze fell on the dragon lock on the woman's wrist, "I have to find a way to take off this thing of yours first." ”
Ah Cheng frowned, the construction of the imprisoned dragon lock is exquisite, it is originally used to imprison the monks of the four realms and below, and it is from the hands of everyone in the Mo family, without mastering a specific method, it is not easy to break it by force.
Wei Lai didn't care about the suspicion in the woman's eyes, and he walked over to the statue.
"In order to absorb the incense offered by the believers, the deities will set aside a spirit in each temple and dwell in it. On weekdays, he is unconscious, but he can convey what he sees and hears to the body, and at the same time, the power of the incense he receives will temporarily reside in this spirit, waiting for the body to come and ingest. There are many places under the jurisdiction of the old snake, so naturally it is too late to seize them one by one, and the spirit here has been cut off, and part of the power gained over the years has been dispersed, but most of it is still confined in this idol, waiting for his body to transform into a spirit again and absorb it. ”
"But it doesn't seem that the progress of covering Wupan City with divine power again is going well, otherwise they wouldn't have thought of this poisonous plan to flood Wupan City, so I thought that over the years, the incense and wish power offered by the people of Wupan City and the luck and power ingested by the old snake's vicious method should still be entrenched in it. ”
Of course, Ah Cheng understood what Wei Lai meant, and he wanted to use the power in the idol to break the dragon lock in her hand.
But this idea sounds wonderful, but in reality there are many problems, although the power in the temple is temporarily gathered in the statue, it is not an ownerless thing, and naturally it is impossible for people to use it at will. And even if Wei Lai had a way to get that power, that power would never be at Wei Lai's disposal, and would attack Wei Lai at the first time, how could Wei Lai's cultivation be able to suppress the rampage of that force?
These questions are by no means secretive, but anyone who has stepped into the cultivation should be aware, but Wei Lai did not have the slightest consciousness of this, and when he came to the temple, he did not hesitate to stretch out his hand and press it on the temple.
Ah Cheng's brows furrowed, and she was about to open her mouth to say something, but before she could say anything, the scene in front of her shook her body, and she swallowed back the words that came to her mouth.
She saw that Wei Lai's back suddenly lit up with golden light, from a faint flickering light, to a brilliant golden light in an instant, and then the statue began to tremble violently, and the plating on the face of the statue was centered on the position of Wei Lai's palm, and a series of poisonous snake-like lines appeared, spreading around.
Then a wave of power poured out of the idol and rushed down Wei Lai's arm into Wei Lai's body. Wei Lai's body trembled, his eyes suddenly widened, and his eyes also lit up with dazzling golden light. He held out his other hand toward her, and a majestic force poured out of his other hand, striking straight at the dragon locks.
......
When Wei Lai and Ah Cheng walked out of the Dragon King Temple, it was already dark.
But just before he reached the door of the temple, a row of figures walked in the distance, Ah Cheng's eyes narrowed, and his hands were pressed on his waist at that time. But Wei Lai stretched out his hand, stopped Ah Cheng, and shook his head at her.
Ah Cheng glanced at Wei Lai suspiciously, quite puzzled, but out of trust, he still pressed down the killing intent that surged in his heart.
The group of people gradually walked in, and Ah Cheng's eyes became more and more gloomy, but then when she could see the appearance of the comer, she was stunned, and the murderous intent churning in her heart disappeared at this moment.
The person who came was not an outsider, but Xue Xinghu, who had clashed with Wei Lai before, and many of his servants.
The two sides looked at each other silently for a few breaths, and then, Xue Xinghu suddenly knelt down on one knee, and many officials behind him also knelt down when they saw this, and everyone said in unison: "Childe, please save me Wupan City!"
Wei Lai probably didn't expect them to make such a move, he was not only stunned for a moment, but then said with a calm face: "I said I would save you, you don't have to worry." ”
Xue Xinghu stood up at that time, he stared at Wei Lai, and asked in a strange tone: "The little boy said that he wanted to save us, so dare to ask the last sentence, how can the son save us?"
Wei Lai was puzzled: "What do you mean?"
Xue Xinghu smiled and said, "Childe thinks that after you tell me about those secrets that others can't know, I will understand all this, and I will be grateful to Wei Shou and Lu Guanshan?"
"No, I hate them even more. ”
"They stood on a high place, protecting us as heroes, but they didn't say a word about us. Just like the little boy said, we are stupid, how can we have the ability to spy on the truth. It protects us, but it allows us to continue to live in the lies that others have prepared for us, and let us worship like fools to those who eat our flesh. I admire their righteousness, but unfortunately, I can't like their own opinions. ”
"If the little boy also wants to follow the example of the two of them and sacrifice his life for the people of Wupan City alone, then I want to persuade the son, forget it. ”
Wei Lai frowned and stared at the middle-aged head catcher in front of him: "What do you want to say?"
"I don't know what means Gongzi has to reach the sky, but even if Gongzi can kill the Dragon King of the Wupanjiang River and change the heaven of the Great Yan Dynasty, does Gongzi think you really saved us?" Xue Xinghu asked in a deep voice. But before Wei Lai could react, his voice sounded again: "For us, whether it is the Great Yan Dynasty or any other dynasty, whether it is the Wupan Dragon King or some other god, as long as they are willing to come and fool us, we will still worship them as gods as we are now, and they will be used and eaten away without realizing it. ”
"We don't have the power to see the truth, we are always cowering under the protection of others, ignorant and unconscious, secretly thinking that the world is peaceful. Childe can save us for a while, but he can't save us for the rest of his life, since we will still fall into that situation sooner or later, why should Childe sacrifice his life to save us?"
Wei Lai's face changed, and he seemed to be a little shaken, and he said in a low voice, "Then what do you want?"
"With us, we have to learn to save ourselves. Xue Xinghu said in a deep voice.
Wei Lai shook his head and said, "That would be dangerous. ”
"But that's our own decision!" Xue Xinghu said in a low voice.
This question shook Wei Lai's body, and the atmosphere on the scene became silent again.
After a long while, when he opened his mouth again, his face showed a sudden realization after being awakened by a word after a long time of confusion.
Whether it is his father or Lu Guanshan, they all made a very important mistake.
They want a world where everybody has a big mountain in front of them, and they're at the bottom of it, they're born at the bottom of it. They didn't have to walk far and through thousands of fogs to find the mountain. Whether they choose to climb it or spend their lives right at the base of the mountain, they should know how to climb that mountain. It doesn't matter where they can go, whether they fall off a cliff or stop somewhere, it's always their choice.
And such a world, and most importantly - freedom.
But they forgot to give them freedom.
At that time, Wei Lai decided to fix the mistakes made by his father.
Therefore, he nodded heavily towards Xue Xinghu and the others.
"I see. ”
"I'm going to show you all the truth. ”
