Chapter XXXVI The Canaanite Mission
Luo Wuji was puzzled and asked, "Wouldn't he take another path?"
Cheng Yunshi nodded, "Of course it will." However, even if he deliberately changes his path, he will initially take a new path for a while, and he will feel very uncomfortable, and eventually he will return to the old path. If you want to overcome this dependence, you have to completely abandon everything you have and start over. ”
Luo Wuji was stunned for a moment and asked, "You mean, let Wang Dadi give up that artifact." ”
Cheng Yunshi said: "If she wants to change completely, she must abandon it." ”
Luo Wuji thought for a while, shook his head and said, "It's impossible." ”
Cheng Yunshi nodded, "That's right." ”
Luo Wuji was even more surprised, "Then why are you telling me this?"
Cheng Yunshi glanced at Luo Wuji and said, "What do you think is the reason why Wang Dadi will never give up that artifact?"
Luo Wuji said very confidently, "Isn't this a clear place? That artifact is unique, and it is too important to her. With Wang Dadi's talent and qualifications, if he abandons that artifact, his future achievements will be very limited. ”
Cheng Yunshi nodded, "That's right." The price of Wang Dadi's abandonment of the artifact was indeed too great, so she could only continue to rely on that artifact. ”
Luo Wuji nodded yes.
Cheng Yunshi said lightly: "The Sword Pavilion is our artifact. ”
Luo Wuji was shocked when he heard this, but then he was relieved.
That's right, the Sword Pavilion gave them too much. They are also deeply imprinted with the imprint of the Sword Pavilion. It would be too expensive to completely break off with the Sword Pavilion.
For example, Cheng Yunshi, if she leaves the Sword Pavilion completely, even if Chen Yiping sees the master-apprentice relationship in the past and does not list her as a traitor, those former brothers and sisters who are jealous of her will not let her go easily. There are also those enemies of the Sword Pavilion, who will also use her as a gap to break through the Sword Pavilion and spare no effort to hit her.
Besides, can Chen Yiping really be magnanimous to that extent?
No!
What kind of character Chen Yiping is, they know very well.
The practice itself is going against the sky, and every step is extremely difficult. Especially in the two realms of the Force Master and the Force Grandmaster, there are not only external temptations and great pressure when they are promoted, but also they have to face inner torment and tests. Therefore, a practitioner needs to have a firm Dao heart, otherwise he will not be able to reach the top of the martial arts at all.
The root of the Dao heart is self-confidence. The so-called self-confidence is to firmly believe that you are right no matter how you choose or how you do. There must not be the slightest doubt and vacillation, otherwise you will inevitably fail to pass the test when you advance.
Therefore, every Force Grandmaster is extremely confident and even conceited. After a long time, I naturally developed a character that is unquestionable, unquestionable, and self-serving.
Although Chen Yiping's thoughts about Cheng Yunshi were not explicitly stated, Cheng Yunshi herself had already noticed it. However, because it involves her original ambition, if Chen Yiping is really clear, she has no way to refuse. That's why she wanted to escape from the Sword Pavilion as soon as possible.
Why does Cheng Yunshi want to stay in the Great Wilderness? is because the Great Wilderness is a place where Chen Yiping's hand cannot reach out. However, she spoke by herself and had no ability to survive in the Great Wilderness. So, she had to give up and had to hibernate, waiting for future opportunities.
Ten days later, Cheng Yunshi returned to the Sword Pavilion and changed into the most solemn robe made of silk, like a fairy who does not eat fireworks in the world, and climbed the three hundred and sixty stone steps flutteringly, and entered the Tibetan Sword Tower to meet Chen Yiping.
Chen Yiping, who was dressed in a fairy cave clothes, wearing a hibiscus crown on his head, and meticulous in his white hair, looked at Cheng Yunshi, who was blooming like a white lotus flower in the hall, and the wrinkles on his old face trembled slightly, revealing his mixed feelings in his heart. In order to welcome Cheng Yunshi back, he deliberately wore a robe that would only be worn on the most solemn occasions.
After watching the tea for a long time, Chen Yiping said softly, "It's good to come back, it's good to come back." Take a good rest. ”
Cheng Yunshi got up and returned to her residence, and since then she has resumed her previous hard work
Repair life.
Wang Xiaotian also returned to his former calm and rigid life mode. From Monday to Friday, the dormitory-classroom--cafeteria--library, at a fixed time, arrive at a fixed place, and do a fixed thing.
On Saturday and Sunday, he returned to the courtyard with Cao Lianyou and Wang Nana, and personally cooked a few dishes with reasonable tastes, and solved three meals a day. Sometimes, Lin Daoming and Lin Daoqing will bring some famous lo-mei in Xijing City to rub rice.
After the last Yang Yipu incident, Lin Daoqing was already disheartened about the path of becoming a lawyer, fighting a public interest lawsuit, and becoming well-known before entering politics, so he went to the family business to learn how to do business.
This kind of life is a rare ease and peace. It's a pity that such days only lasted for more than a month before they were broken.
On November 2, it was already cold, and ordinary people were wearing thick clothes. Although Wang Xiaotian has long been free from the cold and heat, he also wore a coat in order to meet the occasion.
At nine o'clock in the morning, he was in the classroom. Lu Yusheng suddenly came in, whispered a few words to the teacher in class, and then walked to Wang Xiaotian's side and whispered, "Dean Liu is looking for you." ”
Wang Xiaotian packed up his things and followed Lu Yusheng to the dean's office.
This time, instead of sitting behind a desk, Dean Liu sat on the sofa in the reception area with a strangely dressed person, talking in strange language. There were also two people sitting on the couch next to it. One of them turned out to be Yu Wanlai!
After Wang Xiaotian came in, he saw Yu Wanlai at first sight, but before he could say hello, he was stopped by Yu Wanlai with his eyes.
When Dean Liu Zhongwen saw Wang Xiaotian, he immediately beckoned to him and signaled that he was coming.
Wang Xiaotian came to Liu Zhongwen and asked, "Dean, are you looking for me?"
Liu Zhongwen nodded and introduced to Wang Xiaotian, "Xiaotian, this is Professor Kabal of Sulaimantan University of the Canaan Federation. Professor Kabal, this is Wang Xiaotian. ”
Wang Xiaotian turned around and bowed lightly to Professor Kabal, "Hello, Professor. ”
Kabal stood up and returned the salute and said in the not very proficient Dongchu Chinese: "Hello." Young Mr. Wang. ”
Liu Zhongwen pointed to an empty sofa opposite and said to Wang Xiaotian: "Sit." ”
After Wang Xiaotian sat down, Liu Zhongwen said, "Professor Kabal is the person in charge of today's Canaanite Federation delegation. ”
Wang Xiaotian nodded and didn't speak. When he saw Yu Wanlai just now, he keenly felt that something was wrong. Cabal is the head of the delegation, so why is he the only one here now? What about the other members of the delegation? What are Yu Wanlai doing here?
Liu Zhongwen continued, "You must be very curious, why is Professor Cabal alone here?"
Wang Xiaotian nodded again and did not speak.
Liu Zhongwen said: "There was an accident in the visiting delegation. While crossing the Great Wilderness, they encountered robbers and sandstorms, and Professor Cabal and the rest of the group were separated, and happened to be rescued by Mr. Yu Wanlai of the Yu Firm, who was passing by. ”
"Mr. Yu helped Professor Cabal to look for a long time, but he couldn't find any other members, so he could only bring Mr. Cabal to the academy first. Mr. Cabal asked us for our help in finding other members of the mission. ”
"Considering that you have experience in exploring the Great Wilderness, the Academy hopes that you can bring a group of people to the Great Wilderness to find the other members of the visiting group. Would you like to?"
Wang Xiaotian was noncommittal and asked, "Why don't you report it to the relevant departments?" Or ask the Northwest Frontier Army for help?"
Liu Zhongwen said: "The place where the accident happened is outside the Eastern Chu State. It is part of the Great Wilderness and does not belong to any country. Moreover, the exchange between us and the Canaan Federal College is a voluntary act of the people, and although the official knows about it, it does not support or oppose it. ”
"Even if we report this matter to the relevant authorities, I'm afraid we won't get much help. Besides, the efficiency of the relevant departments is very unsatisfactory, and even if it is reported, it will only be too late to wait for the results to come out. ”
Wang Xiaotian felt that things were not so simple. He wanted to excuse himself, but quietly glanced at Yu Wanlai and found that he was nodding slightly at himself.
Wang Xiaotian understood. Yu Wanlai is to let himself do this next task. Still, he resisted.
He asked Liu Zhongwen again: "In this operation, is it only our college that acts on its own, and how much support can we get?"
Liu Zhongwen looked at Yu Wanlai and said, "So far, only Mr. Yu is willing to provide necessary help. ”
"Necessary help?" Wang Xiaotian looked at Liu Zhongwen and then at Yu Wanlai, "What are the aspects?"
Liu Zhongwen also looked at Yu Wanlai. He was not familiar with Yu Wanlai, and he was embarrassed to ask Yu Wanlai in person what help he had. Now that Wang Xiaotian asked, of course he also wanted to hear what Yu Wanlai had to say.
Yu Wanlai said: "Our firm has limited strength, and we can't provide much help. One is that I can provide you with a guide, Xia Xianlong. ”
When Wang Xiaotian first came in, he saw Yu Wanlai at first sight, and he was very shocked in his heart, and immediately after, Liu Zhongwen called him, so he didn't look at the fourth person in the room.
When he heard Yu Wanlai say the name Xia Xianlong, the first thought in Wang Xiaotian's heart was: "I'll wipe it! If there is no ghost behind this thing, I will eat Dean Liu Zhongwen's chameleon raw!"
Xia Xianlong stood up, greeted Liu Zhongwen seriously, and then sat down.
Yu Wanlai continued: "Guide Xia is very familiar with the Northwest Wilderness, and having him lead the way can ensure safety on the road. In addition, we have several supply points in the Great Wilderness that we can provide for you to use. As for the cost......"
Liu Zhongwen immediately said: "Our college will bear all the costs. ”
Due to his lack of language proficiency, Cabal was a little slower to react than Liu Zhongwen. "I have money, I'll pay," he said. ”
Wang Xiaotian asked Liu Zhongwen: "In addition to these, can we get any other support from the outside?"
Liu Zhongwen didn't directly say no, but asked rhetorically: "What do you need?"
Wang Xiaotian couldn't help but secretly slander, I need a lot. Last time, it was two Force Grandmasters who led a team to explore the Great Wilderness. It's best to invite two Force Grandmasters over this time, can you please do it?
However, Liu Zhongwen has always been good to him, and he can't help but know what to do and embarrass Liu Zhongwen. Therefore, Wang Xiaotian also thought about these words in his heart, he must not say them directly, otherwise he will be really a good mallet.
Wang Xiaotian pondered for a moment and asked: "How many people are in the visiting group? When were they separated and where is their location? How much time does it take us to come and go? What is the probability that they will survive now?"
"We all need to think about that. Because the tasks are different, the teams needed are naturally different. If there is a high probability that the people in the visiting group have been killed, then we will go to deal with the aftermath, there can be more manpower, and the strength of the team members does not have to be very strong, the force of the fifth level is about the same, and it is enough to deal with general dangers. ”
"If most of the people in the delegation are still alive, they are just controlled by some powerful force. Then our team should be small and fine, and the higher the strength of the players, the better. If it's a combination of both, then it's important to think carefully about the composition of the team. ”
Before Liu Zhongwen could speak, Kabal suddenly said, "They are still alive, they are all still alive." As he spoke, he pulled out a very old-looking pamphlet from his robe. The material of the booklet is very peculiar, not paper or leather, but something soft like silk.
Cabal held the pamphlet and said, "Before coming, in order to prevent our lives from being in danger, we all wrote our wills in the Book of Destiny. If someone is killed, the page where he writes the will will automatically appear. So far, no handwriting has appeared in the Book of Fortune. ”
Cabal said, flipping through the Book of Destiny quickly. As you can see, it's really clean and there's nothing.
Wang Xiaotian will be skeptical, "Is this book of destiny accurate?"
