If the person who talked to Shen Gui today was a warlock who made a living by measuring the face of characters and divining auspiciousness, he might not care about these nonsense; But Song Xingzhou, or Jiang Hanke, is the head of the entire Di Ting, and the credibility of what he said is completely different.

In fact, thinking about it carefully, Shen Gui himself also felt a little strange: wherever he went along the way, he collapsed instantly, without exception! Although it seems that these things are just the product of chance and coincidence; But once it is followed by accidental events, then all unexpected losses seem to become inevitable results.

"Could it be that the implication of Zun's words is that I, Shen, am the root cause of the endless disputes and disasters in the Huayu Continent?"

"That's right. Because of all Guan Beidou's predictions for you, judging from the results alone, there has never been any mistake at all. ”

"If it's so simple, wouldn't it be a hundred for your subordinates to kill me directly?"

"Do you think we haven't thought about it?"

Song Xingzhou played with the empty tea cup in his hand and shrugged helplessly.

Shen Gui himself is a staunch atheist, although he does not believe in the reincarnation of ghosts and gods in this world, but he believes that between heaven and earth, there are laws of their operation and laws of the Great Dao. To put it simply, the wheel of history is rolling forward, and anyone who tries to block the general trend of the world with his own strength will be ruthlessly crushed over. Therefore, in another sense, Shen Gui's understanding of the way of heaven is closer to the sentence at the beginning of the Xuanmen classics: "Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs".

Of course, human civilization has a long history, and long before humans became dominant, there were many high-level species that dominated the continent for a time in this world; It's just that the weapon of human beings to conquer the world is wisdom, while other species have their own merits, and they have been crushed into powder by the ruthless Heavenly Dao and disappeared into the long river of history. Regarding this kind of conclusion, he was also inspired by the Changyan that Yue Haishan imprisoned.

In a narrow sense, the way of heaven can also be regarded as the law of ecological balance in nature. For example, the natural resources of Youbei Sanlu can support ten human beings to thrive here; As the days go by, there are old people who die out naturally, and newborns who are born and grow, passed down from generation to generation; However, if these ten ancestors chose to reproduce their offspring uncontrollably, then the natural resources of this place would not be able to support the extra population at all, and famine would follow. Once they find themselves in this predicament, they have only two solutions before them: conquer their neighbors and create new habitats for the surplus population; Or engage in non-equivalent trade exchanges, providing for his subjects in a way that exploits his neighbors.

This is true of the family, the same is true of the tribe, the same is true of the country, and the same is true of the nation.

If you look at it from the perspective of the way of heaven and earth, it is nothing more than the law of the jungle or a simple number game. Whether it is the losing side in the transaction or the loser in the war, it has become a remnant to fill those who are not tolerated by the way of heaven and earth.

Natural disasters such as flash floods, tsunamis, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, etc., even if time and technology are moved to the era when Shen Gui once existed, people can only prevent and make up for natural disasters, and they still cannot completely resist or change them; War, on the other hand, seems to be a private matter between species, and it is an intelligent conclusion reached after many considerations. Judging from the actual results, we still can't escape the shackles of the seemingly nonexistent between heaven and earth.

A war may not necessarily lead to a winner, but it will certainly bring about a huge demographic demise.

Looking at the theory of the rise and fall of historians throughout the ages, it is not difficult to conclude the same law: after the great chaos, there must be great governance, and vice versa. However, this eternal law, since Shen Gui was born, seems to have become a fallacy.

Whether it is the Northern Yan Dynasty or the Youbei Third Road, whether it is the civil strife in the Mobei grassland, or the eagle and wolf Gu of the Red and Yellow Second Army in Western Xinjiang; Every prince is either fighting and waiting for an opportunity; Or they have just ended a war and are licking their bloody wounds.

To be more specific, when Shen Gui's mother-in-law, Miss Guo, was happy, the gunpowder smoke outside the East Customs had just been forced to stop; The myth of the retreat of the three swords also spread the prestige of the Qingmang Sword God throughout the Huayu Continent; Regardless of this victory or defeat, from the perspective of time alone, the last large-scale battle on the Huayu Continent can be traced back to the time of the disintegration of the previous dynasty Dayan, that is, eighty years ago.

But since the previous bloody battle at the East Customs, or the birth of Shen Gui, the entire Huayu Continent can no longer enjoy the peaceful and prosperous era of swords and guns in storage and horses in Nanshan. So judging from the results, saying that Shen Gui is a broom star is not a wronged him.

If you look at it from this point of view, the reason why the Nankang Dynasty was able to become rich in the world may not be the main reason for business acumen and trade talent. might as well make a bold guess: Could it be that it is precisely because of the blessing of Di Ting, or Guan Beidou, that the Nankang Dynasty can be alone in the troubled times and enjoy nearly 20 years of peace?

The prophecy of Shen Gui is Guan Beidou of the Luminous Demon Star, because he inherited the special ability of the earth spirit vein, so he himself does not know martial arts; However, just like Lin Siwu's rejuvenation holy hand and Beihai Sword Slave's broken jade, Guan Beidou's earth spirit vein is known for its Tianyan technique.

He told Song Xingzhou that the way of heaven is ruthless and cannot be bullied. But if you get rid of Shen Gui before the murderous intention is revealed, killing someone will of course be easy for Di Ting; However, the providence that parasitized his luck will never disappear! Mortals playing tricks with the laws of heaven and earth must be the way to their own destruction; Whether the sky will collapse and the rivers will flow backwards at any time, he Guan Beidou is completely unpredictable.

Shen Gui listened to Song Xingzhou relay Guan Beidou's exposition of the way of heaven and earth, even though he had been unilaterally defined as the stinky salted fish of the Huayu Continent by Di Ting, he was completely unmoved; Even the originally chaotic aura and fluctuating emotions slowly calmed down.

"So what you mean by listening is that I hope I can quickly find the nine Zhenlong nails and hand them over to you, and then nail the two nails from the left and right bi into my body from my Baihui acupoint and Gudao acupoint, and sacrifice my own life in exchange for the survival of mankind?

Song Xingzhou was silent for a long time when he heard this, and then nodded with a smile:

"That's pretty much it."

"I refuse."

"Well, we can understand that, that's why we start with the people around you. By the way, the black dog thinks that you are a person who values love and righteousness, and may be swayed by emotions and go against his original ideas. ”

"Valuing love and righteousness is not the same as being stupid, I only know what blood debt and blood repayment, and the responsibility of saving mankind is too heavy, I don't have such a noble sentiment for the time being, otherwise you go to someone else to ask?"

After Shen Gui finished speaking, he stood up and was about to leave. Immediately after his shoulders tightened, he was inexplicably pressed back to his seat! There is no doubt that judging from this hand alone, Song Xingzhou's skills can at least be compared with Bai Wenyan.

"Shen Gui, do you know that today's Huayu Continent is already full of wolf smoke and undercurrents! Although it seems to be just a private fight in the Mobei grassland, the war will soon spread, and even the paradise south of the Huajiang River will not be able to escape this time; The entire Huayu Continent will fall into a huge and futile attrition because of your selfishness. Do you think that your life alone is worthy of the lives of the people of the world? ”

"Shen Gui's natural life is like a mustard, and he is not afraid of death. But Song Xingzhou, oh, or Jiang Hanke, you and Guan Beidou feel that they can change the way of heaven and earth, so they want to sacrifice the head of someone in my Shen to eliminate the upcoming disaster in the Huayu Continent. But have you ever thought that the two of you are only one of the many sentient beings, even if Guan Beidou can accurately penetrate the Heavenly Dao, he is still not qualified to act on behalf of the Heavens. Jiang Hanke, I advise the two of you not to put your position too high!. ”

"Shen Gui! Haven't those eyes of yours changed recently? “

"What about it?"

"That means you're dying. When the murderous machine is revealed and the wolf smoke of Huayu Continent is everywhere, it will be the day when you, the demon star of the troubled times, will return to the sky! Could it be that you have to pay so many people's lives just for the rest of these few months? Lin Siwei, Li Le'an, Yan Shuqing, Qi Yan, Qi Hui, etc...... Do you really not care about these people? ”

Shen Gui groaned for a long time, stood up, and walked towards the staircase with firm steps. Jiang Hanke sat at the square table with gloomy eyes and did not move, and after Shen Gui's figure disappeared on the third floor, a voice came leisurely from downstairs:

"Jiang Hanke! You bastard let me hear clearly! I'm a donkey! If you don't leave, I'm going backwards! ”

As soon as the words fell, the wooden spiral staircase that went straight to the third floor collapsed! And the second-floor wall of this octagonal building was also broken through a big hole at the same time, and Shen Gui actually broke through the wall of the building and jumped out in a hurry! After a few ups and downs, the figure completely disappeared into the night of Xilin City.

Two cold-faced girls standing on the first floor to guard the door quickly rushed up to the third floor when they heard the sound! They knelt in front of Jiang Hanke, and asked their own lord for orders without saying a word. Jiang Hanke sat at the table, looked out the window at the Confucian Academy, which had fallen into a deep sleep, and said tiredly:

"That's it, the Seven Stars Demon Descending Lamp has been extinguished, Shen Guitian's eyes have been opened, I'm afraid that no one in this world can stop him in this environment except me...... Let him go. ”

The two girls were still a little impatient, but after hearing Jiang Hanke's words, they didn't say much, and their figures flashed and disappeared completely.
