Chapter 320: Believe
Hu Guiyang returned to his room, no one asked him where he had been, no one asked him what he had done, as long as he saw him appear, everyone seemed to be satisfied.
The food delivery person was a strange captain in brocade clothes, knocked on the door and entered the house, put the food on the table, and asked, "What else do you need?" ”
Hu Guiyang sat on the edge of the bed and said with a smile: "I'm really embarrassed to ask one lieutenant to deliver food to another, you lost the bet?" ”
The lieutenant was stunned for a moment, then nodded reluctantly in acknowledgement, "Hmm." ”
"Guess the punch or the dice?"
"The dice, than the points. If you don't need anything else, I'll go first. ”
Hu Guiyang pointed to the food on the table, "If you can have a pot of wine, this meal will be perfect." ”
"The boss told me that I am not allowed to drink."
"Tea is fine, it's a little hard to swallow just eating."
"Okay, you'll wait." The lieutenant left in a hurry, and soon delivered a pot of hot tea.
Under the gaze of the school captain, Hu Guiyang hurriedly ate all his dinner, there was nothing left, and finally wiped his mouth and praised: "It's delicious, who made it?" ”
"Sent from outside." The captain packed up the dishes and chopsticks, and pleaded before leaving: "Don't make trouble again, the dozens of captains in the front yard are dozens of families, the old and the young, and the whole family suffers if one person has an accident." ”
"As long as trouble doesn't look for me, I will never look for trouble, stay in the house and don't get out of it."
"Hmm." The lieutenant was clearly not convinced, "What more?" ”
"If I can, I need hot water to wash my face and feet."
The hot water was delivered quickly, and Hu Guiyang smiled: "Do I want anything?" ”
The captain's face was a little ugly, and Hu Guiyang hurriedly changed his words: "No, thank you so much." By the way, what do you call it? ”
The lieutenant did not answer, and turned to leave.
After washing, Hu Guiyang blew the lamp and went to bed, silently waiting for the change to happen.
Nothing happened, Hu Guiyang didn't know when he fell asleep, and when he opened his eyes again, it was already bright outside.
No one delivered food, so Hu Guiyang yawned and got up to go to the front yard.
In the backyard, almost all the strangers rarely came out of the house, divided into three groups, one group headed by Guan Mutong and Jiang Dongxia, the largest number of people, standing in the middle of the courtyard, talking about a lot, one group was less in number, only seven or eight people, and they were not united, standing under the corridor and watching coldly, and the other group was Luo and Mei's couple, standing near the destroyed east ear room, also watching.
As soon as Hu Guiyang appeared, he attracted everyone's attention.
"The weather is good, and the cold winter is coming to an end." Hu Guiyang said with a smile.
Zhao Aqi walked out of the crowd, "Senior brother hasn't seen it yet, has he?" ”
"See what?"
Zhao Aqi pointed behind Hu Guiyang.
On the two pillars in front of the main house, there are two lines of words written on the dragon and phoenix, one line is "the moon has a cloudy eye and the eyes are round, and people have a victory or defeat", and the other line is "tonight's competition, strangers will come".
Hu Guiyang read it again and said with a smile: "No need to ask, the first line of words is Li Xingtian's handwriting, and the other line is Prince Dan?" Who wants to compete? What to fight for? ”
"Compete for the title of the head of the Inhumans." Zhao Ah Qidao.
"What's the use of this? Forget it, I guess none of you will participate in the joust, right? ”
No one stood up to object, and it was Zhao Aqi who spoke: "But the strangers have to stay as the audience, and it says 'The strangers will come'." ”
"There's a lot to see, why aren't you happy at all?"
Zhao Aqi didn't answer, and Xiao Killing Xiong behind him said loudly: "Because these two people are crazy, no one can guess what they will do after the competition, maybe they will turn around and ...... everyone" He made a slashing motion.
Hu Guiyang wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he felt redundant, shook his head, and left with a smile.
There were a lot of people in the front yard, the captain who delivered food and water last night was not among them, there were a large number of unfamiliar faces, and Wei Ying was not there, Hu Guiyang had to ask a stranger guard who had met, "Who is in charge of the meal today?" ”
The guard glanced at him, but didn't say anything.
Hu Guiyang had no choice but to go to the kitchen by himself, find some leftovers to deal with, and when he came out, he said to the people in the courtyard: "You are all strangers from the imperial court? It doesn't seem like a lot of people. ”
No one paid attention to him, and he was proud, and with the word "court", it became more and more difficult to approach.
Hu Guiyang returned to the backyard and found that he was quite redundant and couldn't talk to anyone, so he went back to the house and fell on the bed, thinking about nothing.
Zhao Aqi and Guan Mutong came in quietly, one walked to the bed, and the other stood at the door.
Hu Guiyang sat up, "If you want to eat, go to the front yard to find it yourself, it seems that no one cares about the meal today." ”
"We all have some snacks and water, and we don't have to worry about eating and drinking." Zhao Ah Qidao.
"Hey, why didn't I get it?"
Zhao Aqi stepped sideways, Guan Mutong stepped forward, and said with a smile: "Captain Hu disappeared the night before, which made everyone very worried. ”
"Count my fate, I'm back."
"Uh...... What's going on with that forest dye? ”
Hu Guiyang thought for a while, and didn't remember that Gu Zhongxian had asked him to keep it secret, so he said: "He took me to Gu Zhongxian, that's all, I don't know if he will come over to watch the battle tonight." ”
"Sure enough, it's Gu Zhongxian, what did he say?"
"Well, that's a lot."
After waiting for a while, seeing that Hu Guiyang had no intention of going further, Guan Mutong smiled and said: "Here's the thing, there are rumors that the so-called martial arts competitions are all planned, and the main messenger behind them is Gu Zhongxian. ”
"He didn't mention the jousting to me, not a word."
"It's strange, Gu Zhongxian didn't hesitate to let the forest layer dye be exposed, and he also wanted to invite Captain Hu to go, but he was easily released."
"It's weird, maybe I was disappointed to see me." Hu Guiyang smiled, although he was not restrained, he didn't want to tell the truth.
"Gu Zhongxian will not do such a senseless thing." Guan Mutong's smile was a little stiff.
"If you want me to say, everyone is quite 'meaningless', why do you want to come to Zhao Mansion? Why should you be afraid of Li Xingtian? Why accept pills from the imperial court? Why are we still suspicious of each other in the face of common dangers? ”
"We were forced to take refuge here......"
Hu Guiyang shook his head, "This is 'meaningless', it sounds reasonable, but in fact, it is unbearable, the government catches the thief every day, and if he catches it, he will cut off his head, and I haven't seen the thief accept Zhao'an, but it is a group of strange people, with divine power, killing arbitrarily, but obediently obeying orders." ”
Guan Mutong was stunned, as if he didn't understand why Hu Guiyang had this question, and was about to speak, Zhao Aqi said, "Let me talk to my senior brother alone." ”
Guan Mutong sighed and turned to leave the house.
"Why didn't you stand with Roche? Got into a dispute? Hu Guiyang asked.
"Separation is not necessarily because of disputes, and standing together is not necessarily like-minded."
"If I can come back, it doesn't have to be a conspiracy." Hu Guiyang said with a smile.
Zhao Aqi found a stool and sat down, "It's time to tell each other the truth." ”
"Yes, no one knows what will happen tonight."
The two of them were silent, waiting for the other party to speak first, and finally Zhao Aqi spoke: "There is such a saying that the divine power of the alien is not obtained by one's own hard cultivation, but is given by heaven, so it can be transferred." ”
"Transferred by killing?"
"This is one of the theories, but there is no clear evidence, when Li Xingtian killed people for the first time, his skills were already very strong, and the other prince Dan seemed to be the same, and the other people's attempts also failed."
"You've killed Inhumans?"
"Well, two, one is sure to be an Inhuman, and the other is just showing signs of an Inhuman, but I don't get anything. Later, there were rumors that there was another way to transfer divine power, and that the Inhumans had to get together and find this way. ”
"Hehe, then you should go to Yunyang, that is where the divine power is born."
"There is no miracle in Yunyang, and it is rumored that the capital will be the location of the return of the heavenly machine ship, so everyone rushed here."
"It's a rumor again, you believe everything?"
"The source of the rumors is usually Gu Zhongxian, he is a member of the Wen family, and he once boarded the Tianji ship, if there is news from the Tianji ship, it will definitely be passed on with the help of him, right?"
Hearing that the family thought that they had been abandoned by the Heavenly Machine Ship, but Yiren regarded the Gu Zhongxian as a messenger, Hu Guiyang had nothing to say, so he had to smile and say: "Anyway, it's already here...... Even if everyone gets together, the people who get the divine power in the end are people like Li Xingtian and Prince Dan, right? ”
Zhao Aqi's eyes lit up, "This is the wonder of the Heavenly Machine Ship, in its eyes, there is no distinction between strong and weak, everything depends on luck, this is the case in Yunyang, and it must be the same in the capital." And the number of Inhumans is very small, and after the dead and wounded, there are now less than a hundred left...... Who can pass up such an opportunity? ”
"And then?"
"What, then?"
"For example, if a person receives all his divine power and treats mortals like mustard from now on, will his illness be more serious? Those Inhumans whose divine power was taken away, will they die just now, or will they revert to ordinary people? ”
"It's all a matter of luck." Zhao Aqi's eyes became brighter and brighter, "Those who have obtained divine power, the illness may be serious, or it may disappear; Those who have lost their divine power may die, or they may become mortals, and even their illnesses will be gone. No matter what happens, everyone resigns themselves to their fate, just like in Yunyang, the important thing is that you have to believe. ”
"Believe what?"
"Believe in the Heavenly Machine, believe in luck, believe in the will of God......"
"Do you know what Gu Zhongxian did to me?"
Zhao Aqi shook his head and revealed so many "rumors", he was just waiting for Hu Guiyang's truth.
"He joined forces with the warlock in the palace to create a medicine that can turn the carrier of the Tianji Pill into an alien, there is no luck here, and there is no divine will, he bluffed everyone, not by luck, but by careful planning."
"I see, senior brother has become an alien?"
"Not yet, don't wait patiently."
"It's tonight, isn't it? So the contest is set at this time. Zhao Aqi showed a look of sudden realization, stood up, and arched his hand: "Senior brother, rest well, tonight's competition will be very exciting." ”
"Do you still believe in the transfer of divine power?"
"I must believe that this is the minimum requirement for the divine power obtained." Zhao Aqi did not waver in the slightest, but felt that his senior brother was unreasonable, he sighed lightly, "If there is no accident, Gu Zhongxian is using his senior brother as a prop to transfer divine power, but he is very wrong, Wen family has nothing to gain in Yunyang, and he will not gain anything in the capital." He wanted to control everything in his hands, but instead lost the essence of his divine will. ”
"The essence is luck?"
"Well, only luck is the fairest, whether you are the emperor Lao Tzu or a beggar in the mud, you have a chance to become the strongest." Zhao Aqi was a little panting with excitement, "Senior brother doesn't believe it, it doesn't matter, your disbelief will make Gu Zhongxian defeated." ”
"Your ...... of belief" Hu Guiyang suddenly had nothing to say, the power of "believing" is so strong that it will not be defeated by any words.
