Chapter 273: Avenues and Paths

A few minutes later, Zheng Liming took a few people back to his warm and greasy nest.

This is the place to speak.

Although as early as when he instigated the Great Grandmaster to send an open letter to Shengyuan, he already had the intention of making the facts public...... But since the Shengyuan Council forcibly suppressed this matter with a shameless posture of pretending to be stupid, Zheng Liming did not intend to make the mystery of the Immortal Tree and the Demon Dao Apocalypse public on the street outside the Song Mansion in his personal name.

There are some things that have been kept secret for a long time. It's a pity that these truths may not be understood by mediocre people.

Zheng Liming hates mediocrity the most, just as he hates himself, and he also hates those talented geniuses, just as he hates the original poem. On the whole, Zheng Liming is a cynical person, although he has a pampered and unfazed mentality in the cultivation of the Demon Dao, but he is far from being so peaceful in dealing with the world.

However, after returning home, Zheng Liming felt that his tense nerves began to gradually relax, smelling the fragrance of the oil, the impatience of being entangled by the, and the perfunctory anger of the Shengyuan people began to disappear.

After taking a deep breath, Zheng Liming took heavy steps and walked along the familiar path to the cushion in the living room. The flagship-level lazy cushion, designed and built by the master of furniture, suddenly let out an overwhelmed greasy moan.

And after Lu Xun entered the house, he was also familiar with the road, and subconsciously came to another cushion next to him, lying on his back, and moaning with pleasure.

The figures of the master and apprentice seem to coincide.

Such a posture made Nuo Nuo's eyelids only jump, although she ignored the young master's prestige and made fun of him when Lu Xun was very young...... But there is naturally a reason why Lu Bieli is willing to indulge her, and even let her serve as Lu Xun's personal maid for a long time.

Nuo Nuo's disrespect to Lu Xun is based on the default that there should be no sense of distance between the two, and she really regards Lu Xun as her own family.

After all, unscrupulous parents are also parents, and as a parent, seeing Lu Xun's appearance after being polluted by Zheng Liming, the anger in his heart is needless to say.

And the eyes scanned the room around, looking at the mountain of takeaway lunch boxes that had not been cleaned for only two days, as well as the grease stains left by people touching the tables, chairs, cabinets and other places with oil-stained fingers, the maid who was quite clean only felt that the blood vessels in her brain were about to explode.

Even if I am broken and never recovered, I will let the fat man lose weight!!

Just when Nuo Nuo swore bitterly in his heart, Zheng Liming finally spoke after a lazy waist that could hardly be seen from his appearance.

"First of all, to be clear, everything I said afterwards is not based on any real evidence, it is purely my subjective assumption. If you want to get to the bottom of me, I can only say that I don't know. ”

After a pause, Zheng Liming saw that there were no objections from several people, so he revealed the mystery straight to the point.

"The Tree of Immortality can help people to obtain the Apocalypse. ”

Then, unsurprisingly, there was a burst of exclamation.

"Teacher, are you serious?!"

"Fatty, do you say it again?"

"Master Zheng Liming, this is unlikely, right!?"

Zheng Liming sneered, and his voice overwhelmed all the noise in an instant.

"If you don't want to listen, you can get out. ”

So the three of them shut up at the same time and waited obediently for Zheng Liming to continue.

"The body of the immortal tree is located in the virtual world, but the shuttle between the virtual and the real is the instinct of its life, and its branches and leaves are luxuriant, covering the entire territory of human civilization, and the roots are even deeper into the core of the earth. Such a strange thing, of course, is not just as simple as 'making people immortal'. Its existence affects the wandering magic energy within the entire human territory, and the branches and foliage that obscure the sky and the sun also block the human gaze from looking farther away. ”

Speaking of this, Zheng Liming sighed leisurely: "Under the shade of the immortal tree, if you want to get the apocalypse, you can only capture the light of the sky from the gaps in the branches and leaves, and the difficulty can be imagined. Fortunately, the spread of the Immortal Tree in the Western Continent is very slow, which allows us to be uncontrolled by others. ”

"I'm sorry, teacher, I have to interrupt, here's a question: do you mean, the Shengyuan people used the Immortal Tree to suppress the Demon Dao Apocalypse in the Western Continent?

Zheng Liming glanced at Lu Xun and said: "Of course the royal family knows, and even the Lu family should know, at least partially, the reason why I didn't act was not because I was afraid of the Shengyuan people, the reason for this is very complicated, if you don't interrupt me, I am about to talk about the key." ”

Lu Xun's face was also complicated, and he responded hoarsely: "I know, sorry to interrupt the teacher, please continue." ”

Zheng Liming said: "I said at the beginning that the Immortal Tree can help people obtain the Apocalypse, and its existence does not suppress the development of the human Demon Dao civilization, on the contrary, the existence of the Immortal Tree greatly protects the human Demon Dao civilization from going astray. The lush foliage did obscure the skylight, but the obscured light did not disappear, but converged into the trunk along the veins of the branches and leaves, turning into a more accessible resource for humans. ”

After a pause, Zheng Liming explained surprisingly patiently: "It's like an ordinary tree, the leaves absorb sunlight and some air, and the roots absorb water and minerals, and finally condense the fruit for people to pick." It is impossible for humans to ingest sunlight or minerals directly, but through the transformation of trees, they can be turned into resources that can be used. And this is also the effect of the immortal tree, which can transform the ethereal apocalypse into something like fruit and put it on the table. ”

When Bai Xiao heard this, he was also surprised: "That rabbit?!"

The beast king of the border county seems to have devoured the immortal seed, and then he was reborn and became a god-like digger, digging the entire interior of Yushan into a thousand holes...... Zheng Liming's so-called fruit, is it an immortal seed?

Zheng Liming glanced at Bai Xiao: "You ask me, I don't know, what I just said, more than ninety percent of it is my subjective speculation, and you will never find any arguments that can be supported in any academic treatise." But if I have to guess, I think that the meaning of the immortal species is mostly 'enlightenment', and it is only after enlightenment that the rabbits in the county over there have awakened from ignorance and possessed wisdom no less than that of humans. And this wisdom gives her infinite possibilities. How similar is all this to the apocalypse?"

Bai Xiao had never been in contact with the Apocalypse, and when he heard the words, he could only nod as if he didn't understand.

The other three fell into deep thought at the same time, especially the two women who had reached the realm of masters, and their minds were full of thoughts.

"Don't think about it so beautiful, if the Immortal Tree could wholesale the Apocalypse, the Shengyuan Empire would have been full of Apocalypse a long time ago, but there are only 7 of them now, even if some secret Apocalypse and quasi-Apocalypse are included, the Apocalypse Demon Daoist of the Shengyuan Empire will not exceed fifteen. ”

Lu Xun couldn't help but say, "It's not much more than the Western Continent." ”

Zheng Liming sneered when he heard this: "Do you calculate carefully? Ying Ruoying, Li Qin, and Huang Buming, this is already the third of them, and the remaining 'guides' and 'tourists' may not be innocent, and only Zhu Junshen can really be counted, do you still think that there is not much more than the Western Continent?"

Zheng Liming's words made Lu Xun stunned for a moment, and then the young man's face was solemn, even a little gloomy.

Because Zheng Liming's meaning is very simple, at least 3 of the six grandmasters in the Western Continent obtained the Apocalypse with the help of the Immortal Tree, and the senior guide of the Brilliant Valley, as well as the mysterious traveler, may also be related to the Immortal Tree, this is the fifth of six!

This is not a question of the number of grandmasters, but a question of whether the Great Qin Empire still has independent autonomy!

"Don't think too much, of course the Great Qin Empire is still independent, otherwise your father would have jumped out and rebelled a long time ago...... First of all, the relationship between the Immortal Tree and the Apocalypse is only my personal speculation, and there is no empirical evidence, so those Grandmasters who have received the Apocalypse may not feel that they have received the help of the Immortal Tree. They just follow a 'wide pathway' that has been proven by countless people to reach the clouds, and that's it. During the whole process, there was no shadow of the immortal tree, let alone any influence from the Eastern Continent. Secondly, the birthplace of the Demon Dao civilization is in the Eastern Continent, and the overall development level is also higher in the East. In an era of highly frequent academic exchanges between the two sides, it is a matter of course to learn from the strengths of the Eastern Continent for one's own use. Even Lu Hao, the original overlord who slaughtered hundreds of thousands of expeditionary forces, did not choose to close himself off after the founding of the People's Republic of China, but actively promoted academic exchanges with the Eastern Continent. In this context, taking the avenue is an inevitable result. In contrast, the so-called "being controlled by others" is nothing more than my unfounded worries. ”

Zheng Liming said that he was worried, but there was no shame on his face, but he said: "Fortunately, in the Great Qin Empire, there will always be some mavericks who choose not to take the spacious avenue, but to open up a trail through thorns and thorns...... I think it's the existence of these people that makes more people have a wide avenue to walk. ”
