Chapter Seventy-Five: Not an Inch of Land

Since I accidentally came into contact with the Fourteenth Tombs of the Ming Dynasty, I have encountered too many unbelievable things and unfathomable people, I have long been accustomed to shocks and surprises, and even a little numb, but for Wu Zetian and Shangguan Wan'er in front of me, even if their identities and encounters are extremely bizarre, but one thing I am very sure of is that the two of them do not know the Tao, although they have also learned the Nine Heavens Hidden Dragon Decision, but I believe that they may be the two people who are the most involved in this matter.

In fact, after being calculated by Wei Yong, I and others began to flee life, I even worried about the situation and suffering of the two of them, especially after coming back, I have wanted to find them many times, without Wu Zetian and Shangguan Wan'er, I would not be able to find the Ming Fourteenth Tombs, let alone involve those things that I didn't expect later, they are more like mentors and friends for me, after all, one is the only empress, and the other is known as a talented woman who weighs the world.

But like all the experiences I have encountered, I can only see the surface of many things, just like the words that Qiu Nuo said meaningfully in Zhongshan, I thought I understood many things, I understood everything, but in fact I didn't know anything at all.

Wu Zetian's calmness when he saw me and Shangguan Wan'er's heartfelt bow, so I didn't see the slightest surprise in their eyes, everything was so natural and smooth, it seemed that Wu Zetian had been waiting for me, and even knew that I would come sooner or later, and Shangguan Wan'er also knew my life experience well, as before, I suddenly found that I really wanted to be the last person to know the truth.

After I helped Shangguan Wan'er up, I turned my head in surprise and asked Wu Zetian why they knew everything, but Wu Zetian actually answered and asked me if I still remembered the original agreement.

I nodded noncommittally, the two of them wanted to find a way to crack the Nine Heavens Hidden Dragon Decision on immortality, without the slightest pretentiousness, I can be sure that their greatest wish is still like normal people, and they can't afford to sleep at the end of their lives, before they pinned their hopes on the Nine Heavens Hidden Dragon Decision in the Ming Fourteenth Tomb, but now I can understand from Wu Zetian's tone that her expectations and original intentions have not changed, but she hopes to transfer from the Nine Heavens Hidden Dragon Decision to me.

It stands to reason that their ideas are correct, since the Nine Heavens Hidden Dragon is written by Yingzheng, of course he is familiar with the way to crack it, if I finally turn back into that king, it will be easy to break the immortality of the two of them, but the more this is the case, the more puzzled I become, and I still ask Wu Zetian how she knows what happened later.

After getting my affirmative answer, Wu Zetian's answer to me made me and Wen Zhuo and Xiao Lianshan next to me at a loss.

"Nuo'er told me everything as it was." Wu Zetian's heart was like stopping water, and he replied calmly.

Wu Zetian's title for Qiu Nuo and this answer have completely subverted everything I originally envisioned, and what I had imagined in my heart suddenly became confusing.

Qiu Nuo and Wei Yong have been planning for a long time, just to drag me into the game, judging from Wu Zetian and Shangguan Wan'er's previous attitudes, she should know nothing about it.

"You ...... You knew from the beginning that Qiu Nuo and Wei Yong were in cahoots? Xiao Lianshan asked in surprise next to him.

"I don't know, in fact, I didn't expect Nuo'er to hide from me and Wan'er, and the layout lured you into the urn, and I only found out after raising her for more than 20 years, in fact, I don't know her at all."

Wu Zetian replied calmly, I could tell from her expression that she was not lying, but I couldn't see the slightest disappointment and regret on Wu Zetian's face, as if all this was not important to her.

"Qiunuo is your adopted daughter, you have been facing each other for more than 20 years, and the person who knows her best is you, she has never left your side since she was a child?"

My son asked this question to prove one thing, Qiu Nuo's Dao cultivation is definitely not something that can be achieved overnight, if it is only twenty years, no matter what, I don't believe that Qiu Nuo will learn such a profound Dao technique, but the answer I can get once again makes me at a loss, Wu Zetian told me with certainty that Qiu Nuo has never left her.

I was frowning blankly, Wu Zetian suddenly said thoughtfully.

"However, when I adopted Nuo'er, she was no longer an infant baby, maybe I had a fate with her, and I was destined to meet her."

"It's not a baby...... Wen Zhuo's eyes suddenly lit up and he asked eagerly. How old was she when you adopted her? ”

"Seven or eight years old, I still remember the scene when I met Nuo as a child, when Wan'er and I were still in Jingzhao, and it was the place where Yan Hui first saw me." Wu Zetian looked up at me and said calmly. "That winter, the snow did not stop for several days, the whole villa was covered in silver, Wan'er accompanied me to enjoy the snow at night, heard that there was movement outside the house, opened the door and saw the girl sitting on her knees by the wall, her eyebrows were clear and even likable, the girl's clothes were thin and shivering in the corner, I asked Wan'er to take her into the house, and she never left me since."

"She's Qiunuo?" Xiao Lianshan asked.

"So you didn't know about Qiu Nuo before he was seven or eight years old, did you ask later?" I saw Wu Zetian nodding and hurriedly asked seriously.

"After Nuo'er was young and hungry and forced me to adopt her, she also asked her about the past, and originally wanted to send her back, but she didn't remember anything." Wu Zetian replied very calmly.

It's impossible for Qiu Nuo not to remember, a seven or eight-year-old girl already knows how to disguise, and even Wu Zetian and Shangguan Wan'er can hide it, which shows how scheming this woman is, that is to say, the real secrets about Qiu Nuo should all be before she appears in front of Wu Zetian, but it is difficult for me to understand how many secrets a girl who is only seven or eight years old can have.

As for the cultivation of Taoism, Wu Zetian was even more negative, she told me that Qiu Nuo spent the most time with Guan Wan'er, and Shangguan Wan'er was teaching Qiu Nuo completely in accordance with the Tang Dynasty Etiquette, and the most extensive in addition to ordinary etiquette was qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, and even their identities did not intend to inform Qiu Nuo, let alone the Taoist affairs.

What's more, Wu Zetian and Shangguan Wan'er didn't know anything about the Dao Method, and Qiu Nuo couldn't talk about learning the Dao technique from the two of them, and the only Dao method that Wu Zetian and Shangguan Wan'er had come into contact with was the Nine Heavens Hidden Dragon Duel, and the last time I fought Qiu Nuo in Zhongshan, she definitely didn't use the Dao method on the Nine Heavens Hidden Dragon Duel.

"Since Qiunuo has been deceiving you, why did he tell you what happened later?" Wen Zhuo asked with some doubts.

"Nuo'er should have her hardships to conceal something, but she can keep me and Wan'er here, and the grace of raising me over the years is not in vain, I understand Nuo'er's intentions, I was dormant in Ganye Temple to avoid disputes back then." Wu Zetian smiled faintly and said calmly. "Nuo'er only told me that the mountain rain is coming and the wind is full of buildings, and I will come back here after going around, I haven't asked her what will happen outside, but I think she must have her reasons for choosing to do this."

"Makes sense? Do you know what she's doing out there? Xiao Lianshan saw Wu Zetian's understatement and disapproval, and he immediately became angry. She is a femme fatale who kills innocents in vain, her hands are bloody and vicious, Shen Xiang is what we have seen with our own eyes, Qiu Nuo actually broke the joints of her whole body, and used the Tao to drive her to death, she can't survive, Qiu Nuo's behavior is outrageous, listen to your tone, it seems that she still thinks she is doing the right thing? ”

"Joke, if there is really such a good score between right and wrong, I have stood in the wordless monument of Qianling for thousands of years, and now the future generations have not told me right or wrong, what did Nuoer do, why did he do it, how much can you understand?" Wu Zetian waved his long sleeves and turned around and said in a lonely voice. "Right and wrong are never so simple, and the person who judges right and wrong will never be a loser, history is written by the strong, the winner is the king, the defeat is the villain, even if it is right to the end, it is wrong."

"You ......" Xiao Lianshan was already clumsy, and he was even more unpleasant in front of Wu Zetian, and was refuted by Wu Zetian for a while, and was speechless.

"Nuo'er kills one person, or kills several people, you say that she is outrageous, according to your logic, it is not Nuo'er's turn to bear this infamy." Wu Zetian glanced at Xiao Lianshan with cold eyebrows, and said in a strong tone. "Now there are at least two people in this Ganye Temple, and there is far more blood on their hands than Nuo'er, I am one of them, purging the friends and cleaning up the recalcitrant ministers, and I don't even know how many of them died in my hands."

Wu Zetian said this, his gaze turned to me, paused slightly, and his tone softened a little.

"And this King of Qin...... Sweeping the world is unified, but once it will be successful, I am afraid that I can only hope for the souls of the six countries. ”

Wu Zetian slowly walked in front of Xiao Lianshan, his eyes were like torches, and he asked calmly.

"It's outrageous for Nuo'er to kill a few people, dare to ask me and King Qin how you should evaluate it in your heart?"

"Aunt Li, I saw Qiu Nuo's indiscriminate killing of innocent people, her methods were cruel and cold-blooded and ruthless, what she did may not have been seen with your own eyes, Lian Shan can't speak, but what he said is indeed the truth." I took a deep breath and saw that Xiao Lianshan was being forced by Wu Zetian, so I took the words and said calmly. "This is also the reason why we came to you and Aunt Qing, on the one hand, we are worried about your safety, and on the other hand, we want to know the details of Qiu Nuo."

There was suddenly a tense atmosphere in the courtyard, I was very strange that the last time I saw Wu Zetian talking to her, maybe it was after too many years of washing, she gave me the feeling that her heart was like water and there was no dispute with the world, and she devoted herself to worshipping the Buddha, which shows that she has some repentance for the previous Lin Lin, a person who can look directly at his own mistakes will never be blind enough to distort the truth of right and wrong.

But Wu Zetian was clearly defending Qiu Nuo, and I was curious about what Qiu Nuo told her, so that Wu Zetian could tolerate such a person, and even fight for an inch of land.
