Chapter 142: Lackeys

Xue Yun stepped on the stone, put his head into the white silk suit, looked at the peach tree in front of him and asked, "Why?"

He wanted to ask, why is the world like this? Why me? Why can they have a clear conscience? Why is there no Celestial Cycle?

At this moment, the mysterious man who called himself Tang Xiaohao many years ago reappeared, this time he did not jump from the tree, but appeared behind Xue Yun like a ghost.

When the mysterious man appeared, Xue Yun had already felt it, but he just maintained that movement, did not turn around to look, and just stood on the stone on the foot.

The mysterious man stood behind Xue Yun and said, "Are you willing?"

Xue Yun looked at the peach tree in front of him and asked, "Why did you lie to me?"

The mystery man asked, "When did I lie to you?"

Xue Yun said: "You let me study, get famous, and then become an official, but nothing has changed."

The mysterious man asked, "Is studying to gain fame and become an official?"

Xue Yun was surprised: "Otherwise?"

The mysterious man sneered: "That's right, after all, many stories circulating in the land of Jiuyuan have a happy ending with being a big official, and it's understandable that you think being an official can change your fate."

Xue Yun held Bai Aya's hand and trembled: "I don't want to change my fate, I want to change the world!"

The mysterious man sneered again: "Reading is to understand things, and then combine it with practice to achieve the unity of knowledge and action, only the unity of knowledge and action will know how to be a person."

Xue Yun said excitedly when he heard this, "Know how to be a man? Are you sarcastic about me? I don't know how to be a human being? If I didn't know how to be a man, I wouldn't have been afraid of the Nanrong family in the first place, and I would have stayed in Shendu."

The mysterious man walked around to Xue Yun: "Really? Is that called knowing how to be a human being? Do you think you know officialdom well? Do you think the most important thing in officialdom is to be a man? Wang Zhicheng, no, I should call you Xue Yun, you left Shendu at the beginning, not because you can be a man, but because you are afraid of the Nanrong family, you know, if you don't do what the Nanrong family says, you will die."

Xue Yun was stunned, because the mysterious man was right, he was indeed afraid at the beginning, he had neither the courage nor the ability to fight against the Nanrong family.

The mysterious man said, "But Wang Zhicheng is always dead, and it is Xue Yun who survives. As a result, after Xue Yun came to Liangcheng, not only did he not take advantage of his identity as the eagle dog of the Nanrong family, but he was so stupid that he cursed the Nanrong family and forced himself to death."

Xue Yun looked at the mysterious man angrily: "I forced myself to death? They're trying to kill me!"

The mysterious man looked at Xue Yun and said, "You openly cursed the Nanrong family and did not associate with the officials of Liang City, not only because you were hypocritical, but also because you pretended to be high. The reason why I say that you are hypocritical is because if you are really high, you will be indifferent in the face of coercion and temptation when you are in the divine capital...... If you really do that, you will indeed die, but I will also kowtow to your grave and admire you forever, but you are not, so it is not a pity for you to die!"

After that, the mysterious man kicked off the stone under Xue Yun's feet, and Xue Yun tried to take his neck out of the white silk sleeve, but his arms didn't have so much strength, so he had to hang there and struggle, waving his hand at the mysterious man for help.

The mysterious man took a step back and didn't let Xue Yun touch him: "Most people wear a mask of hypocrisy, it doesn't matter whether it's right or wrong, but people have to be honest with themselves. Your hypocrisy is to lie to yourself, and you are outrageously stupid."

Xue Yun was already suffocating, struggling with his last strength.

The mysterious man said, "You are angry when you are said to be the eagle dog of the Nanrong family? Uncomfortable? Under the rule of the Dachang Dynasty, how many people lined up to be the eagle dogs of the Nanrong family couldn't do it...... You think you're insulted when I say that, right?"

Xue Yun was about to roll his eyes, and waved his hand with his last consciousness to indicate no.

The mysterious man raised his hand to cut off the white silk, and Xue Yun kept coughing after landing on the ground, panting for breath.

The mysterious man looked at Xue Yun on the ground: "If I were you, since I couldn't change the fate of being an eagle dog, then do my duty as an eagle dog, not only have bones to eat, but also use the identity of an eagle dog to achieve my own goals."

Xue Yun looked at the mysterious man in surprise, he was no longer the fifteen-year-old child he was back then, so he understood what the mysterious man meant.

yes, why should you be so stupid? It's obviously backed by the Nanrong family, but it's not good to use it?

The mysterious man said: "There are people from the Nanrong family in every province and city, but they are not important official positions, because the Nanrong family will not be stupid enough to install their own people in all key positions, and that is tantamount to openly opposing the emperor, but those eagle dogs who do not have important official positions live extremely comfortably, and their power is invisible."

Xue Yun nodded slowly: "I understand."

The mysterious man raised his hand and gave Xue Yun a resounding slap, but Xue Yun smiled.

Xue Yun smiled and said, "Engong, I understand, thank you!"

The mysterious man put his hands behind his back and said, "I hope this slap in the face will make you remember what I just said forever." Later, the mysterious man picked up the broken white silk again, "This three-foot white silk is left behind for the purpose of letting you know yourself."

Xue Yun understood that the mysterious man wanted him to understand something from this white silk.

The mysterious man said: "Those who want to be clear and virtuous in the world will rule their country first. Those who want to rule their country must first gather their families, and those who want to gather their families must first cultivate their bodies. Those who want to cultivate their bodies must first correct their hearts. Those who want to correct their hearts must first be sincere. If you want to be sincere, you should know it first. Enlightenment is in Gewu. Character and then know, know and then sincerity, sincerity and then heart, heart and then body cultivation, body cultivation and then family Qi, family Qi and then national governance, national governance and then the world peace...... This passage can be recited by every reader in the world, so what does this white silk make you understand?"

Xue Yun looked at Bai Aya and said in a low voice, "Leave it to death and come back to life?"

"Wrong!" The mysterious man explained, "Every soldier is the murder weapon of the world; Brave, the fierce virtue of the world. Raising a murder weapon and committing murder is a last resort."

When Xue Yun told his story here, Tang Xiaohao frowned, and peeked at Ji Chengying and Nanrong Yuankai beside him.

Although Nanrong Yuankai was still expressionless, Ji Chengying was also frowning.

Tang Xiaohao understood that this Xiwang also understood that all the arrangements and words of that mysterious person to Xue Yun were to make Xue Yun obey him and change Xue Yun's thinking in his own way.

At the same time, Tang Xiaohao also realized that neither he nor Ji Chengying was as calm as Nan Rongyuankai. After hearing about Xue Yun's story, he and Ji Chengying couldn't be as happy and angry as Nanrong Yuankai after noticing the problem.

As for Little Bell, Bao Meng, and Dugu Yiyi, the three of them only understood the surface, and Dongshan Xiao, who was a scholar, just whispered to himself repeating those ancient texts, still pondering by himself, which was enough to show that he was just a scholar who read dead books before.

In Xue Yun's self-experience, he is explaining how the mysterious man controls him. The first time he met the mysterious man under the peach tree, the mysterious man began to brainwash Xue Yun, although Tang Xiaohao also deeply agreed with the words said by the mysterious man when he met him for the first time, but the intention of those words was to make Xue Yun trust and worship the mysterious man.

Immediately afterwards, the mysterious man began to sponsor Xue Yun to study and encouraged him to take the test to gain fame. At the same time, the mysterious person also knows very well that a person like Xue Yun who has no background, even if he gains fame, will not be able to stay in the imperial court.

The mysterious man even understood the consistent approach of the Nanrong family, that is, to suppress those capable people first, and gradually extinguish the flame of hope in the hearts of these people, in order to turn them into the eagle dogs of the Nanrong family.

There are too many people in the world who are more powerful than Xue Yun, and these people can only accept their fate and obey the Nanrong family, let alone a Xue Yun?

Therefore, Xue Yun's fate after coming to Liangcheng was in the calculation of the mysterious man.

The mysterious man knew Xue Yun's temperament, and knew that he would publicly curse the Nan Rong family, do stupid things, and then become the target of public criticism, and finally be driven to the edge of the cliff, and then reach out to grab him, and at the same time instill his own thoughts in him.

On the surface, the mysterious person is trying to teach Xue Yun to bend and stretch, learn to forbear, and use the identity of the Nanrong family eagle dog to achieve his own goals, but in fact, he has other plans.

So, what is the mystery man picture?

Xue Yun, who was looking for death, was a mysterious man

rescued, and accepted the mysterious man's theory of "soldiers, ominous weapons, saints have to use them". The mysterious man then went to Xinzheng County and began the first step of the whole plan, which was to transform the part there into a carapace.

This part of the story, even the insider Xue Yun only knows one of them, but Tang Xiaohao, Little Bell, Baomeng and Dongshan Xiao are very clear, because when they were in the Spirit Skull Inn in Xinzheng County, the resentful spirit of Wang Anchao, the former county commander of Xinzheng County, had already been told.

At that time, Tang Xiaohao was very puzzled, why did the mysterious person want to transform the people of Xinzheng County into a decanter? Even those who were transformed into armor didn't know about this matter, it was always a mystery, and now this mystery has finally been solved, and the mysterious person's purpose is threefold, one of which is to help Xue Yun take revenge.

Those who were transformed were all people who had been unfair to Xue Yun's mother, Guo Fu, before.

As for the second purpose, it should be that this mysterious person, who is at least at the level of the Demon Charm in the Armor, wants to test what, maybe to test how long it takes to transform a county town and its surrounding people into the same kind?

Tang Xiaohao asked Xue Yun, "Do you know what a decanter is?"

Xue Yun replied, "I only heard about it before, and I didn't care about it, but I didn't figure it out until after that incident."

Tang Xiaohao asked again, "So, is the mysterious person a dea, you also found out after he attacked Xinzheng County?"

Xue Yun nodded slightly.

Tang Xiaohao remembered that the resentful spirit king An Chao said that the mysterious man had mentioned the words Heavenly Infant and Emperor of the Armor. But now he didn't dare to ask, because Ji Chengying was in front of him, and it was completely taboo to be in front of the people in the royal family.

Now it seems that the one who trapped them in the armor of the Resentful Spirit King An Chao and caused them to be unable to absorb human essence was the one who was getting weaker and weaker was the mysterious person who transformed them.

It was this mysterious man who transformed them, and he was also the one who used the huge inner array enchantment to trap Wang Anchao and the others.
