The 12 zodiac signs gather the nine levels of the Nine Heavens and the Three Realms of the Nine Shades, which naturally means that the Nine Heavens and the Nine Shades will be closer in the future.

At this point, Ji Fa seems to have planned for a long time, and by taking this opportunity to determine this matter, he can not only repay Twenty-seven's favor, but also show Jiuxiao's sincerity to Jiuyou, why not?

Ying Zheng said with a smile: "Since it has been decided, then we will start this matter next time, first implement it in Great Qin, and then comprehensively promote it when it is time to unify the four seas."

"Still." Twenty-seven said, "Don't tell the origin of these zodiac signs."

"Hehe, this is nature, for these secrets, compiling a few myths and legends, we are the best." Ji Fa said as he looked at Ying Zheng, and raised his eyebrows.

Ying Zheng: "......"

"That's fine, if there's nothing else to do, we can leave at any time." Twenty-seven said.

It's really just waiting to get good and leave.

Ji Fa smiled and said, "Before you go, bring some grilled fish."

After everything was ready, the three of them once again got into Twenty-seven's belly, and this time, Ying Zheng was not as unacceptable as last time, it was just a softer carriage.

Unlike when he came, the first thing Twenty-Seven entered was the blue current in the Nine Secluded Sea, so there was basically no thrill at all, and it felt very comfortable.

"How does it feel to come to this Nine Shadows?" Ji Fa looked at Ying Zheng and asked.

"Uh......" Ying Zheng said with a grin, "It's a little different from what I imagined."

"Hehe, the old man understands." Ji smiled and said, "You think you're here for some adventure."

Ying Zheng nodded.

"There will be opportunities in the future." Ji Fa said, "This operation, the focus is on the journey, and the basalt fruit, as for the expedition, there will be opportunities in the future."

Ying Zheng thinks about it, if he is about the same lifespan as Ji Fa, then he really has too much time to explore the Nine Shadows.

Thinking of this, Ying Zheng couldn't help asking, "Senior, junior Shouyuan, will it be the same as you?"

Ji Fa nodded slightly and said, "If you cultivate diligently, you will naturally be about the same as the old man, and even have a longer life than the old man."

"Cultivation?" Ying Zheng became interested, "How to cultivate?"

"Nature is to reconcile the breath of yin and yang, benefit the elements, temper the muscles and bones, and strengthen the soul." Ji Fa explained.

Ying Zheng shook his head, indicating that he didn't understand.

"Hehe, you should temper your body first." Ji Fa smiled and said, "Old man, I heard that the army you trained that used the 'My Weapon' used the Guiguzi formation back then?"

"Hmm." Ying Zheng responded, "The general who trained "our army" is named Cao Yu, I called him a national lieutenant, and changed his name to Wei Yu, it is said that he is a descendant of Guiguzi."

"Did they do some weird physical training?" Ji Fa asked.

"Yes, they've been persevering, and it's working well." Ying Zheng said.

"Then when you have free time, you can practice with them, in the beginning, that method is quite effective." Ji Fa said.

Ying Zheng was slightly stunned, and then nodded again.

At the mention of "our army", Ying Zheng remembered one thing: "By the way, the predecessors recently issued a decree, which ordered the whole of Great Qin to call themselves "I" instead of the word "I", in order to deter the enemy country, and to leave a thought for the "I weapon" that is destined to be destroyed."

Ji Fa was silent for a while, then finally nodded and said, "That's fine, at least it can confuse the public, so that when people in later generations mention the word "I", they will only say that it is their own title, and they will not find out what "I" is."

"The juniors think so too." Ying Zheng said, "But this

For a while, the younger generation has been thinking that if it is said that the lethality is huge, then the "my weapon" can only be used in hand-to-hand combat, but it is not as terrible as the firecracker."

Ji Fa nodded lightly and said slowly:

"Perhaps, you should also think about how to make that gunpowder as hidden as "my weapon", or rather, seal it for a while, and leave some means for future generations."

"For posterity?" Ying Zheng looked puzzled.

"Well, yes, from now on, you have to plan for the future generations, just like ...... It's the same old man." Ji Fa said earnestly, "Or, like the previous Heavenly Inheritance ancestors."

Ying Zheng asked thoughtfully, "So how did the predecessors, and the ancestors before them, plan for the future?"

"Wasn't it all clearly laid out in the previous planning?" Ji Fa stroked his white beard and said, "The so-called general trend of the world, divided for a long time, must be united, and for a long time must be divided, which is our main tone. Generally speaking, the next Heavenly Inheritor must appear in the troubled times, and the unification of the various tribes or countries in China is the first thing to do."

"Needless to say, it is natural to say in the past, but you are the last Heavenly Inheritor, and who will rule this future life has always been a matter that the old man is quite worried about."

"If China is in a state of contention among the nations for a long time, it will inevitably split into different countries, if there is an invasion of external enemies, the country will not be a country, and the inheritance we have worked so hard to accumulate is bound to be destroyed, and then the previous achievements will be lost."

Ji Fa's worries are not unreasonable, and Ying Zheng also feels deeply, just like now, the countries have been fighting for many years, the words are different, weights and measures, ruts, and coins are all different, and in the long run, can they still be collectively called a great country in China?

"Successor...... No one ......," Ying Zheng muttered to himself, realizing the negative impact of being the last Heavenly Inheritor.

After a long time, Ying Zheng asked out loud: "Senior, if this is the case, the descendants of the surname Ying will always control the country of China and prevent it from splitting, is it okay?"

Ji Fa shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "This method is not advisable, the old man's Da Zhou is an example, for hundreds of years, the old man has been secretly helping and maintaining, and in the end, there is not just a false name left, and it is difficult to escape the doom of destruction."

Ying Zheng frowned, and he had no idea in his heart.

Ji Fa glanced at Ying Zheng with his afterglow, and then sighed and said, "If the old man thinks that the only way is to do the opposite."

"The opposite?" Ying Zheng asked puzzled.

"Not bad." After a pause, Ji Fa said slowly: "The so-called doing the opposite means to give up the country first, and then order your descendants to run secretly, and whenever the troubled times bring disaster to the people, they will support one side of the forces to unify. This is the only way to control a certain situation."

"This ......," Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment, and said, "Senior, but you want me to follow the Tian family's method of Dai Qi?"

"It's similar in principle, but in a different form." Ji Fa said.

Ying Zheng's brows tightened, and Ji Fa's words quickly thought about them in his head.

After a while, Ji Fa asked again, "Do you remember what the old man asked you when we came, if you no longer care about your own gains and losses and decide to go to the Nine Shadows to save the world, will you still care about the gains and losses of future generations?"

Ying Zheng was stunned.

It turned out that on the way here, Ji Fa implicitly raised a question, and Ying Zheng had already thought about the ending.

Now, combining the two questions in one place is to ask Yingzheng if you let future generations discard the country you have worked so hard to build, can you accept it gladly.

And taking the initiative to give up, it is more difficult to lose the country by destroying the country, and when facing the truth of the Zhongtian clan in Lü Buwei's mouth before, Yingzheng was quite a little

I can't understand it, but now, this problem falls on my head.

"The old man knows that if you are asked to make a decision directly, you may not be able to accept it." Ji Fa paused and said, "On this journey, you can ponder this question, and if you have any confusion, you can raise it, but before you return to Lishan, you have to give the old man an answer."

Ying Zheng nodded, then closed his eyes and said no more, and thought about it calmly

。

Candle Nine and Twenty-Seven rolled and shuttled in the vast sea, and Ying Zheng's heart also turned over the river and the sea, surging endlessly.

If Yingzheng is asked to stop his conquest of the countries now, live in Great Qin, and stick to the status quo, he will naturally be easy to accept.

Even if he was asked to abandon the current position of King Qin and stay in Jiuyou, he would not be unwilling.

But the problem is that after striving to annex the six countries, it is difficult for some strongmen to give up the country.

Even a saint categorically can't do it and doesn't care.

What's more, it's a hot-blooded young man in his early twenties.

Time passed little by little, and thoughts became clearer little by little.

Slowly, what really bothered Yingzheng was still summed up in those words - honor and disgrace!

Thinking of this, Ying Zheng's hesitant heart finally returned to calm, his brows were also relaxed, and the corners of his mouth were smiling, as if he had finally found the answer.

Slowly opening his eyes, the light outside was no longer so blue, and Twenty-Seven should have entered the muddy and sandy area in the middle.

I can't imagine how long I thought about it......

It seems that his own heart is far from the realm of his ancestors.

Yingzheng turned his head to look at Ji Fa, who was closing his eyes and recuperating.

Turning his head to look at Li Si again, Li Si did not close his eyes, but was in a daze, as if he was thinking about something.

Finding that Ying Zheng was looking at him, Li Si also turned his head to look at Ying Zheng and said, "Your Majesty, are you awake?"

Ying Zheng: "......"

I was just closing my eyes and thinking about whether it was okay or not.

Who said it was sleeping!

Probably hearing Li Si's words, Ji Fa also opened his eyes and looked here.

"Senpai." Ying Zheng called softly, "I've thought it through."

"Oh?" Ji Fa said, "Figured it out so quickly? There's a lot of time left."

Ying Zheng's brows furrowed, and the corners of his mouth smiled, but he still said with a little shame: "It's really a bit ashamed that it took the younger generation so long to figure out such worldly things. Compared with Jiuxiao's safety, those gains and losses of honor and disgrace are really not worth mentioning."

Ji Fa finally showed a relieved and satisfied smile: "Hahaha, it seems that you have really figured it out, but this time, it is not just the safety of our Jiuxiao."

Ying Zheng looked surprised and asked, "Not only? Isn't it ......?"

Ji Fa sighed worriedly and said, "I think you have also heard that after the dragon clan used the power of nature to destroy the ancient civilization, the space in which it lived was also greatly affected."

"The west of the Nine Heavens Continent sank and turned into the sea, and the place opposite the Nine Shadows changed from the ocean to a high mountain, although most of the sea water washed into the new trench, it still drowned countless beasts, and countless fish, big and small, also lost their lives."

"The most terrifying thing is that the natural power of the Nine Shadows has also been greatly damaged, and the calamity is even more terrible than the Nine Heavens."

"For thousands of years, the dragons have been constantly repairing, and the dragons themselves are also remorseful for their impulsiveness."

"Therefore, the dragons are more eager than us for the restoration of the natural source force, and this time we want to completely restore it, which is also the result of our discussions with the dragons."

It turns out that this is the case, and it seems that the level of salvation has suddenly risen from saving Jiuxiao to saving this ancient star that depends on survival.
