Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Road That Doesn't Exist
Yiye returned the salute and said with a wry smile: "Everyone, I am just a lowly little monk, and I can't afford your big gift." ”
Hearing Yiye say this, everyone's faces showed disappointment, although they knew that he was still young and his cultivation was not strong, but at this moment, Yiye said it himself, but it wiped out their slightest expectation.
However, the three regiment commanders didn't care so much, and laughed and said: "I said that it was dangerous when I came, and there were no fewer dead people in the previous missions, I haven't seen you so scared, now, are you cowardly!!"
The crowd was speechless, clutching the weapons in their hands!
Time passed, and more and more people were distracted by the sound of the flute and walked towards one of the "six paths".
"What should I do, little brother, you give me an idea, we will listen to you!" everyone looked at the young man in front of them with full of faith.
Yiye looked at the six paths that spread in the darkness, and a sense of rebellion appeared in his thoughts, and said: "The six paths are placed in front of us like six choices, and we have no way of knowing where each path leads, but I think other people who have entered the Lost Forest have encountered this choice in the past, so we can assume that these six paths have been chosen!"
The crowd nodded.
Captain Niu said: "Yes, from ancient times to the present, for so many years, there must have been people walking through these six paths! But so what?"
Yiye shook his head helplessly and said, "This means that these six roads are extremely dangerous, because we know that the people who enter the Lost Forest either never come out again, or they are insane!"
Everyone's hearts were like frost, and they listened to Yiye's words in great horror.
Although he doesn't want to admit it, this is the truth! Captain Niu had to admire the thoughtfulness of the young man in front of him, usually such a question may be thought of by many people, but in such a terrifying situation, he can still maintain quite calm, he himself is beyond the reach of the dust.
But now is not the time to praise, the monkey frowned and said, "That being the case, then what should we do, according to you? If we don't choose these six paths, there is no way to go?"
Yiye sneered in his heart, shook his head and said, "It's not that there is no way!"
Everyone was in an uproar and said, "Where is the road!?" After saying that, they looked around, as if they had the last hope, anxious and excited. At this moment, it no longer matters whether they complete the task or not, and exiting safely is the topic they are most concerned about.
Captain Niu was also puzzled, and had to ask: "Little brother, there is nothing else here except those six roads, where is the road you are talking about?"
As soon as this sentence came out, Yiye's originally somewhat hesitant expression suddenly became clear, in his opinion, since these six roads are not passable, that is, these six roads should not be chosen, then he has to find his own way!
Captain Niu's question was originally a question, but at this moment, Yiye heard that it was the answer!
Think about it, if there are seven, eight, ten, or 11,000 roads that appear in front of everyone's eyes, how to choose!
Seeing the change in Yiye's expression, Xiao Fat also said with some worry: "Boss...... ...... you?"
Yiye did not answer Xiaopang's words, but resolutely said to everyone: "Everyone, I guess this is a test, it seems that we want to choose these six paths, in fact, these six paths are not the path that should be chosen, in this case, the question is focused on whether there is any other way, you think about it calmly, if there is a seventh path in front of you, that is, there are seven paths in front of you! Will you choose one of these seven paths? No! You will hesitate, yes and no!"
Without waiting for everyone's answers, Yiye continued: "In other words, even if this seventh path is the path we want to choose, we may not necessarily choose, especially since in fact, this seventh path does not exist at all now!"
After the excited Yiye said this, he didn't pay attention to the doubts of the crowd, because his heart was already roaring at this moment!
"The path that doesn't exist! Is this the test of the Lost Forest? Isn't the path I have cultivated a path that doesn't exist? Is there a secret common to cultivators like me here? Who are the ancestors who left these six paths sacred, and are these six paths selecting people like me? The great avenues are common, and the three thousand methods are finally one, and the choices outside these six paths are telling us that there are actually other avenues!?" There were too many questions in Yiye's mind, but there was no doubt that everything here was telling him to firmly believe in his inner beliefs!
"Little brother, can you make it clear......? Captain Niu scratched his head and said with some embarrassment.
Xiaopang also looked at Yiye suspiciously, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in his boss's gourd.
Yiye woke up and laughed: "I'm sorry, I thought about some things in my own practice and thought too much, in fact, it's very simple, have you ever heard of a proverb, "There is no road in the world, walking naturally becomes a road!"
"You mean!!" Captain Niu turned around and looked at the Divine Dragon Wood Dense Forest outside the Six Paths, although the Six Paths accounted for the vast majority of the area, it was precisely like this that the dense forest path in this gap would be ignored!
Everyone also understood Yiye's words, although they didn't know why this young man had to say so many strange and doubtful words before, but at this moment, they were much more relieved, after all, they finally had an answer, even if the answer was not their own!
If there is no road, it does not mean that the road does not exist, and if you don't go, how do you know that the road is not passable?
Many mercenaries can't help but recall the youthful frivolity when they were young, but they were bound by too many things at an age when they should be free......
Captain Niu and the others naturally understood the meaning of this test, although it was simple, but it pointed directly to the heart of the person! I couldn't help but admire this young man's delicacy and calmness in this regard, and people in the past may have also thought of whether they should choose these six paths, but I am afraid that in the end, they all because there is no way to retreat, but they can't find the "non-existent road" and finally set foot on one of the six paths, and then ......
The three regiment leaders solemnly clasped their fists at Yiye and bowed: "Little brother, I don't thank you for your kindness, if you can really complete the task, we will never forget your kindness!"
Yiye hurriedly stopped everyone and said, "I don't dare to say that what I said must be right, but I am extremely sure in my heart that if you have other choices, you can naturally try, but you have no regrets!"
"But I have no regrets! I heard Tsing Yi say that your name is Yezi? Now that you're convinced, we'll go with you, don't you think?" the monkey laughed heartily, not at all like a mercenary, but like a scholar with a pen and ink.
And all the people said yes.
Kazuha looked at the monkey who praised his name in surprise, and was a little puzzled that this emaciated man was so good at talking. However, this doubt was quickly dispelled by the excitement of the crowd like the amnesty, but there was something inexplicable in the heart.
