Chapter 337: My Way Is Not Alone Where Hope Is
The last person to come to the door was Tang Xuanji, the ancestor of the Tang clan who Gu Zheng had been waiting for for a long time.
It's just that Gu Zheng didn't expect that before Tang Xuanji, so many people would take the initiative to come to the door.
Tang Xuanji looked at the bald tabletop, smiled and waved his hand, and suddenly the table was full of wine and delicacies, which was more sumptuous than the arrangement of the Icelandic restaurant.
"At the moment of the big war, we must learn to enjoy it. Tang Xuanji sat opposite Gu Zheng by himself, lifted a pot of fine wine from the Central Domain, and said heartily while drinking himself.
"Do you think everyone can't be trusted?" After Tang Xuanji drank three glasses, he put down his wine glass and looked at Gu Zhengdao, who was silent, opposite.
Gu Zheng didn't answer, just looked at Tang Xuanji and acquiesced to his words. If Gu Zheng was allowed to tell the truth, he would find it difficult to trust even Tang Xuanji now. After all, there is not much friendship between the two, and they are not familiar with each other's behavior.
Such an old monster that has lived for nearly a thousand years, Gu Zheng asked himself how difficult it was to know what it did and what it really thought.
"Haha...... That's right. It's not just that you can't see through it, you can't believe it, even I, an old man who is about to go to the ground, can't see through these people's hearts. So, I'm not here to make you trust me or anyone else. Tang Xuanji laughed, still hearty.
"What happened to the seniors?" Gu Zheng was unmoved, but his face was calm, and he asked more vigilantly in his heart.
"I just want to tell you, you don't have to trust anyone, it's good to believe in it, and there is a reason not to believe in it. As long as you maintain this distrust and vigilance, you are the best hope for this decisive battle. Tang Xuanji said as he lifted the wine jug again, and after pouring it for himself, he filled the wine glass in front of Gu Zheng in the air.
Gu Zheng was even more puzzled, and Tang Xuanji had something to say, which made him even more confused and difficult to solve.
"This war is about the human race on the mainland for thousands of generations, and the ten strong men who participated in the war, no one knows if they have ill intentions, don't talk about you, others are also wary of each other. Therefore, the two of us from the Stacked Waves Sword Mansion and I came up with this solution. Tang Xuanji sucked the wine in the cup into his stomach and half-squinted to enjoy it.
"So, apart from Gu Fengli, the three of you don't agree with me to participate in the war?" Gu Zheng pondered a hint of deep meaning and asked.
"No! To be exact, except for me and Bai Lingfeng, no one agrees with you to join the war. Fiction is real, reality is fiction, so I can't see through most people's minds. Tang Xuanji said with a wry smile.
Gu Zheng was silent, if what Tang Xuanji said was true, then among the six people who had just come to the door, only Gu Fengli and Bai Lingfeng from the Bai Clan's Sword Mansion told the truth. None of the others are true.
But what Tang Xuanji said, is it true? At this moment, Gu Zheng can only retain a little trust.
"I'm not asking you to believe your words, you just have to believe in yourself. Tang Xuanji seemed to be able to guess Gu Zheng's questioning and continued.
"Why did the seniors do this?" Gu Zheng didn't dwell on it anymore, and asked instead.
"To tell you the truth, out of ten, I only believe in you, not only because you are the youngest, but also because you are the only one who has the best hope of being an outsider. Responding from the sidelines and adapting to changes is not an empty talk. Tang Xuanji's eyes became scorching, and he looked directly at Gu Zhengdao.
"You don't need to trust anyone, including me. But you have to believe in yourself, at the critical moment, either make a decisive move to lock in the victory, or ......" Tang Xuanji paused here before continuing: "Or, make a decision immediately, escape, and wait for the opportunity to save the human crisis." ”
Gu Zheng's heart moved, and he suddenly understood Tang Xuanji and Chen Yuanshuo's words today. Although he was excluded from the competition, he actually had more room and choice to advance and retreat.
The so-called improvisation is not only to let Gu Zheng wait for an opportunity to make a move, but also to give him more room to choose, if he can't do anything, he can withdraw in time.
"We want you to keep the greatest sense of mystery, so you must never fight anyone before the decisive battle, and do not reveal your true strength and whereabouts to anyone. Including me, only in this way will you not be seen through by those who have a heart. ”
"As for us old guys, we are all old, our potential is exhausted, so why not be seen through?" Tang Xuanji said again and again.
"Remember, you must believe in yourself, you are the last hope on the side of humanity. At the time of the decisive battle, when it is broken, it will be broken, and when it is retreated, it will be retreated, and you must not be reckless. Tang Xuanji drank the remaining half pot of wine, made a wine gap, and said meaningfully.
"During this time, a photo of the nine of us practicing the siege method will be sent to you. You can take a look, but don't take it seriously, no one will give their best before the decisive battle. Leaving the last sentence, Tang Xuanji spilled away.
Gu Zheng's mind was unsettled, and he fell into deep thought. Although Tang Xuanji did not explain many things thoroughly, the implication was evocative.
As he himself said, Gu Zheng didn't have to be obsessed with this, at least Tang Xuanji's words were understandable. He doesn't have to trust anyone, he can only trust his own decisions.
From this point of view, at least being excluded before the decisive battle is not a bad thing, leaving more space for Gu Zheng, he can hide himself the deepest until the critical moment of the decisive battle, and then choose whether to advance or retreat.
As for what Tang Xuanji said, Gu Zheng is the hope of mankind on the mainland, and Gu Zheng can also understand it.
Gu Zheng is undoubtedly the youngest and most potential among the ten, if the human race loses in the decisive battle with the beast race, then Gu Zheng is the greatest hope for the future rise of the human race.
Therefore, Tang Xuanji persuaded Gu Zheng to retreat, and this decision was the greatest protection for him.
Thinking about this section clearly, Gu Zheng suddenly felt enlightened, at least in this decisive battle, he was not really a loner. As for how to decide in the decisive battle, you have to really improvise.
Tang Xuanji also said that this is exactly what I want to do. In a month's time, I want to further improve my strength without being noticed. Gu Zheng then thought.
"It's only been a month of cultivating swordsmanship, I'm afraid the progress is very small, and it won't have much effect. Gu Zheng pondered secretly.
In a month's time, it was difficult for him to hide his edge even in the form of Yunyu swordsmanship, and it was difficult for the power of his swordsmanship to increase dramatically.
"But I can look for opportunities to improve my cultivation, and the Earth Elephant Eightfold is not my limit. Thinking of this, Gu Zheng made up his mind and prepared to wait for the opportunity to go out of the city without being noticed.
"In addition, I can also sharpen the black and white array sword, carve the bones and carve the array. In the big battle, there was no time to arrange the large array of bones, but all kinds of bones could still be used. This is the method of my formation swordmaster, and the orcs should not prohibit it......"
