Chapter 553: There is no such thing as a free lunch
In the bedroom, a woman with half a human face and half a skeleton is sitting cross-legged on a couch.
There is no moon in the salty sky, ranking seventh in the Nine Heavens Rank set by the Cangtian Temple, and there are powerful people in the entire heaven and earth, and the actual rulers of tens of millions of people in the Chaotian Palace...... In Wang Lu's expectation, this should be a heroic overlord, but what he saw in front of him formed an incomparably sharp contrast with his expectations. The legends about Wuyue all mention that the injuries she suffered in the Chaos War have not been healed for life, and I thought it was just some eye-catching scars, as a medal for her as a vassal king to show off her martial arts, but I didn't expect that this Wuyue did things really thoroughly, and the so-called sacrifice of half of the body was literal.
The right half of Wuyue's body is intact, but the left half of her body is skeletal and white bone, and her body is partially blocked by her dress, but her head is exposed. Wuyue's intact right eye was tightly closed, but the hole in the left skull was lit with a red point of light, and the situation was extremely terrifying...... This honor alone is completely unexpected.
And for Wang Lu, unexpected situations are bad news. The other party is a real person who has experienced a hundred battles, and his own illusion can be seen at a glance in theory. Even if it's because she's essentially just a creation of the Immortal Dream Realm, it's inferior to the genuine god of transformation, but after all, it's also a god. Before he came, he had combined some rare materials left in the mustard seed bag, plus the props that he had exchanged for at a high price in Cangtian City, and greatly strengthened the illusion. But it is still unknown whether he can hide the eyes of the real person, and if it weren't for Li Yan's handwritten letter, Wang Lu would not have come here rashly. But a qiē is basically based on precise planning, if there is an unexpected situation...... It's a test of adaptability.
Of course, Wang Lu also has this ability, so he calmly entered the house and greeted him with a smile.
And what greeted him was the hearty laughter of Wuyue.
"You are the two little guys introduced by Li Yan? Haha, come and sit down. ”
Such a cordial gesture was even more unexpected, Wang Lu was even thinking that there was a propaganda specialist of her Chaotian Palace Temple in this bedroom? As long as the conversation in the bedroom is recorded, a report entitled "Lord Xiantian's cordial meeting with the grassroots people" can be published tomorrow to show how approachable Lord Xiantian is.
But obviously, there will be no idle people in Wuyue's bedroom, even the black-clothed maid in the highest position in the one-black and two-yellow sequence can only wait outside the door, which is obviously a very private meeting.
"Don't be inhibited." After Wuyue waited for Wang Lu and Liuli Immortal to sit down on the futon, he said, "Li Yan and I used to be a lifelong friend, although we haven't seen each other for decades recently, I always remember her affection. She said in the letter that the two of you are her new friends, Li Yan never makes friends lightly, since you can get her approval, it is equivalent to my approval. I treat you as friends, so you don't need to be restrained, please put away those gifts, I don't need polite gifts. ”
After speaking, Wuyue restrained her smile slightly.
"Li Yan said in the letter, you two have questions about cultivation that you want to ask me? Yes, in recent years, there have been fewer and fewer people who have the heart and sincerity to cultivate immortals and seek the Tao, but there are more and more people who are obsessed with fame and fortune. ”
Wang Lu just wanted to laugh when he heard it, you, a standard bureaucratic politician, are also embarrassed to criticize others?
Wuyue seemed to see what Wang Lu was thinking, and slowly replied: "To deal with all the affairs in the world, I will only use the dead body on the left. ”
Wang Lu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Okay, then I'm not welcome." First of all, I would like to ask...... Are you trying to figure out the convergence of life and death to comprehend the Immortal Dao? ”
Hearing this, Wuyue opened his right eye,
"No wonder Li Yan spoke highly of you in her letter, those mediocre people only thought that I was showing off my scars, but they didn't think that with my current status, who else would it be necessary to show off to me? You're right, I did approach the immortal path with life and death......"
Saying that, Wuyue suddenly laughed: "Other than that, what else can you see?" ”
"Life and death, yin and yang, black and white...... The concept of qiē contradiction and unity should be reflected in you. You have quite a lot of stuff on your left and right halves. I should say that you are trying to use this method...... to compensate for congenital defects? ”
Hearing this, Wuyue laughed.
"Haha, that's a good point, no wonder a talent like you would be outside the Cangtian Temple system, that old set of theology can't satisfy you."
Wang Luxin said, no wonder you and Li Yan are friends of life and death, but they haven't seen each other for decades. Compared to the lazy but pious Li Yan, you should have been burned at the stake. But from another point of view, if it weren't for that, you wouldn't be qualified to control the huge city of Chaotian Palace.
For an organization in power, an idealist is not qualified to be in a high position.
After receiving Wuyue's encouragement, Wang Lu simply said bluntly: "We are not perfect beings, I think everything in this world is divided into yin and yang, only we have no gender." When I asked Li Yan, she only said that it was the will of the sky, but I didn't think so, and I wanted to ask Lord Wuyue, what is your opinion? ”
"The will of heaven? didn't think that she hadn't seen her for decades, but Li Yan had learned to deceive herself. Wuyue suddenly sneered, "How did the immortals among the people come about, it's just that others don't know, how can she not know?" I still don't want to admit it. ”
After speaking, Wuyue closed her right eye and said in a deep voice: "You guessed right, human beings should indeed have genders, and we are the one who is biased towards the feminine, theoretically, there should be a masculine side corresponding to us." ”
Wang Lu nodded and said, "Sure enough...... However, why did the Heavenly Temple deliberately conceal this news? This is not good for the development of heaven and earth, right? Obviously imperfect, but thinking that they are perfect, even though they have a naturally feminine constitution, but thinking that they are complete with yin and yang, this cognitive deviation is a great obstacle to spiritual practice. ”
"You want to know?" Wuyue asked with interest, "Are you sure you want to know the answer?" For you, now that you have guessed the difference between yin and yang, you will no longer be affected by cognitive impairment, so why bother to explore the secret behind it? ”
"Curiosity is the driving force behind progress."
"Well said. In that case, let me show you. With that, Wuyue stood up and clapped her hands.
Wang Lu saw a slender and delicate palm and a miserable white bone claw touch twice, and the bedroom door was pushed open by the black-clothed maid.
"I'm going to take a guest to see my collection, and you lead the way."
――
The Moonless Collection was built in the underground part of the Moon Capital. The group was led by a black-clothed maid and walked slowly through the deep corridor. There were countless traps of various kinds along the way, and the black-clothed maid who led the way used more than 30 kinds of props as keys to avoid them one by one, and finally led the three to the door of the collection hall.
Normally, even the most valuable treasures are not so heavily guarded, and the really important things are usually carried by monks. So when he saw the battle at the door, Wang Lu faintly felt that what he saw next might not be a good thing.
Sure enough, after opening the door to the collection, the maid who led the way hurriedly retreated, as if she had a deep fear of what was inside.
Wuyue stepped in generously, and behind the door was a large and deep hall, which suddenly became brightly lit as Wuyue entered, allowing people to see the collection in the museum.
The moment his vision was clear, Wang Lu couldn't help but close his eyes.
That's really ...... What I didn't expect.
"How does it feel?"
The voice of the moonless came from ahead.
"This is the loot I collected from that great battle forty-five years ago, and any of them are the best masters of the Chaos Nether...... This is the martial arts that are really worth showing off. The scars on your own body will only be a shame, what is there to show off? ”
Wang Lu nodded silently, and by the light around the collection hall, he could clearly see that dozens of crystal troughs were placed in the hall, and the corpses of chaotic creatures were lying quietly inside.
Each of the Chaos creatures looked hideous, and each had its own characteristics, some with their fangs turned out, some with their foreheads open...... But the basic outline is clear, it is humanoid, and it is full of muscles and broad bones, which is very standard...... Male.
"I guess that's the answer you want, why does the Cangtian Temple hide that people have yin and yang. Because we can't tell the world that your other half is a chaotic creature. ”
"I see...... This is indeed a secret that cannot be made public. ”
Wang Lu asked as he carefully observed the corpses in the collection hall, "Generally speaking, living beings need the combination of yin and yang to reproduce. We have the heavens to give new life, but what about the Chaos Realm? How can they reproduce if they only have males? I see that the corpses of these chaotic creatures, in addition to the basic outline, often have the characteristics of other animals, such as horns, sheep's hooves, horsetails, etc., can I say ......?"
Wuyue snorted coldly and said, "When the need for reproduction overwhelms a qiē, they will naturally look for a possible mother. Hmph, filthy nether crumbs. ”
Wang Lu looked at it for a while, and then asked, "Strange, these chaotic creatures only have males?" Can't they give birth to females? ”
"I don't know, we haven't really set foot in Nether lands for thousands of years, and each time it's been a time to kill the invaders. The filthy lands of the Nether are deadly to us. ”
Wang Lu nodded in understanding.
At the same time, he realized in his heart that there was probably an incomparably large and difficult side plot hidden in this immortal dream realm: to help the chaotic creatures of the nether realm overthrow the heavens and the earth, and bring the harmony of yin and yang back to normal!
However, this kind of thought is not convenient to say, just think about it in your heart.
And just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard Wuyue say.
"Li Yan spoke highly of you in the letter, and when I saw it today, it didn't disappoint me."
Wang Lu arched his hand: "False praise." ”
"I like you two very much, so you can stay in Yuedu."
"Huh!?"
"Speaking of which, I haven't expanded the harem of the moon capital for more than ten years, so I'll set an example for the two of you today."
"Wait......"
