Chapter 184: Breaking Through the Truth
"Hahaha! The immortal family is the immortal family! The means are that even I, a mortal, can't understand it!" After Emperor Yongping said a word, the silent atmosphere in the Taihe Hall eased slightly.
The ministers tacitly understood that this was His Majesty's relief and lowering his posture......
Originally, because Wu Mu and Mo Wunian came late, Emperor Yongping made them kneel all the time, and they scolded the two of them all over again, but this time they saw Mo Wunian's methods, and they were expecting Emperor Yongping not to let them get up, as if they could ignore everything by burying their heads in the ground!
Hearing Emperor Yongping's speech, Mo Wunian didn't speak, just sat on the chair and nodded at him, this kind of posture was even more beating than his emperor's style! Emperor Yongping knew it, but he still smiled back at him.
Then, Wu Mu and Emperor Yongping talked about national affairs, which can be regarded as mutual flattery between the two, the former picked and chose to say some things that he had done in recent years, and the latter said that he was young and promising!
Seeing this, the ministers who crawled on the ground and knew the wind and the rudder the most quickly followed the words of Emperor Yongping:
"Hehe! I heard that His Royal Highness the Prince of the World is also making some articles! I am fortunate to have seen a few articles...... That Wencai really doesn't say that Wenqu Xing is down to earth...... It's all first-class masterpieces in this dynasty!"
"That's right, I think we should let some students in Taixue study hard!"
"His Royal Highness the Prince also has a bit of the demeanor of Prince Ning back then! Prince Ning was ...... back then."
......
Wu Mu looked at the change of a person in front of her, although her face was silent, but she was already dumbfounded in her heart, probably because she knew the word "see the wind and make the rudder" before, but today she really understood what this word meant.
The ministers who raised their heads all had flattering looks on their faces, and even King Ning praised them as they spoke.
They thought that they had obeyed the will of this Emperor Yongping, but they didn't know that although he still had a gentle smile on his face, he had already decided in his heart that after Wu Mu left, he would cut these ministers to Chéng Rén sticks!
"Ning Xian's nephew, so young and promising...... I can......'t bear it! I gave you the pearl in my palm, and you stayed to solve problems for me and in state affairs, how about it?" As if he remembered something, Emperor Yongping immediately patted his thigh, and was about to order someone to call Princess Mu out.
"What is the pearl of your majesty?" Wu Mu understood in his heart that he was pretending to be confused, and quietly handed Mo Wunian a look, meaning what to do if he made an idea?
Mo Wunian whispered the word "drag" to her.
These small actions naturally fell in the eyes of everyone, but there was a means like Mo Wunian before, and everyone had to turn a blind eye and pretend not to see it. Besides, they just talk about something in each other's ears, and no one dares to say that they are not!
After a while, a beautiful girl wearing a luxurious purple dress and a delicate figure walked into the hall with the support of several palace maids, but her body seemed to be extremely poor, and she had to slow down a little every few steps, and her breathing sounded extremely uneven.
Wu Mu was shocked when she heard Mo Wunian say that there was someone who looked very similar to her daughter, but when she saw her, her eyes stopped on her for a long time, as if she wanted to find some subtle differences!
But after waiting for a while to no avail, she had to take her gaze back, because this appearance was almost the same as hers.
And Mo Wunian patted her on the shoulder, so she knew that she had turned around......
Because she is a man now, it is impolite to stare at a woman for a long time, especially in public.
"How about it? Nephew, is this daughter of mine still satisfied? Hahahaha! Then it's agreed, and in fifteen days, you will marry her, okay?" Emperor Yongping looked very happy, and asked Wu Mu to be close and not to say anything, as if he really regarded himself as her elder, and agreed to her marriage in a few words.
After Mo Wunian's reply, Wu Mu naturally couldn't agree immediately, and she herself was extremely resistant to discovering the "absurd" things in her body, so she smiled slightly and said: "Your Majesty, can you postpone it for a few more months? In a few days, it will be the day of my biological mother's memorial, and it will collide with a big day!"
It was unrealistic and impossible to refuse directly, so she casually made up a reason and told Emperor Yongping.
"Okay, so be it...... Three months later, how about I marry you personally?" Emperor Yongping continued to look like a good elder, and the expression on his face has always been very gentle, and there has been no change for a long time!
"Then I will thank Your Majesty for your kindness!" Wu Mu thanked him.
And that's all that needs to be said...... Naturally, there was nothing more to say, and after a word of retreat, everyone dispersed.
It's just that the few people who flattered Wu Mu were called back by Emperor Yongping again, and after that day, the people in the court never saw them again!
......
A few days later, Emperor Yongping heard that Wu Mu and Mo Wunian lived in a small courtyard, and immediately sent an edict to Wu Mu to repair the prince's mansion, but Wu Mu refused.
But in short, after Wu Mu and Mo Wunian went to the court last time, Emperor Yongping's attitude towards them changed greatly!
Compared with the previous ignorance, the current cold and warm greetings are more commonplace.
"Is Emperor Yongping afraid, afraid that you will kill him?" Wu Mu was a little imprecise about the change in his attitude, but he felt that it was like this again, because he was right
Mo Wunian's identity as an "immortal" is very easy.
"I'm afraid of one thing...... But it's more about trying to control you in Yin Du. And to control a person, it is not necessary to use absolute force to knock the mountain and shock the tiger, but also to gradually win people's hearts with small favors and small favors. Mo Wunian thought for a while and said to her. Although he didn't know too much about the things in the court, he thought that it was actually the same as the methods used by the cultivators in the cultivation world to control mortals.
I don't deliberately oppress you, but in fact, I give you kindness, but it is another level of oppression!
"I was actually a little skeptical of what you said?"
"What's the matter?"
"That's what you said about the princess who looks the same as me. But what about the actual ...... I think she's pretty good-looking!"
"Are you boasting about yourself?"
"Isn't she good-looking?"
Mo Wunian felt that Wu Mu was not very good at speaking before, but probably in the past few years in the demon clan village, she also learned to be poor.
It's just that she asked the same question again...... It seems that he is talking about others, but in fact he is talking about himself, Mo Wunian felt a little interesting, thought about him and said, "Since this Princess Mu is so good-looking, why don't you marry her?"
He said it slowly, word by word, but when he listened carefully, he seemed to have a somewhat serious tone, and she wanted to refute it for a while, but she couldn't find a good reason.
"I'm not as good as you when it comes to speaking......! There's something you bring with you...... His Royal Highness the Prince of the World will go down and take a look!"
"What's the matter?"
"That Princess Mu!"
Mo Wunian was a little surprised, he didn't quite understand how Wu Mu could be interested in that princess, but probably he also regarded it as her temporary bad taste, but after thinking about it, he still agreed, after all, it was not difficult to bring one more person into the palace!
When the sky just darkened, Mo Wunian took Wu Mu into the palace with the stealth technique, and then walked all the way to the dormitory where Princess Mu lived!
She sat in her room, her eyes looking at the sky outside with endless melancholy.
"Princess, why are you worried?" saw the palace maid behind her talking to her, and it was obviously very rude for a humble and lowly palace maid to talk to the princess directly.
But this Princess Mu didn't seem to care at all, and instead treated her in a gentle tone: "Little Moon, if I marry His Royal Highness the prince...... You just have a chance to go out with me, and when you get out, you will be free! It seems that I am not free at all when I stay in this palace! I do everything for others to see! Now ...... Even if I want to marry someone, it depends on people's eyes!
She felt sorry for herself and sighed a few more times.
"How come? I look at that His Royal Highness the Prince is also ......"
"Little Moon, what do you know?"
Bai Mu felt that this little palace maid really didn't understand anything like her age. For the little palace maid, she probably only saw a talent from His Royal Highness the Prince, but for Bai Mu, Wu Mu stared at her like that during the day, she couldn't like her.
"Just like he looked at me during the day...... Even though he looks good, what is the difference between him and those villains in the market......? It's just a canary in a fancy birdcage!" she said, but she coughed up another mouthful of blood, and her already sick face lost a little blood, which made people feel distressed to watch.
But her words also entered Wu Mu's ears word for word, and she was a little angry for a while, so she said it directly: "What...... It's just that you look the same as this girl, so I went to see you!".
Her remarks also immediately exposed both her and Mo Wunian.
The princess was so frightened that the princess and the little maid named Little Moon looked around in horror, but when they saw that there was no one around, they became more and more afraid!
"Hey, withdraw the spell from me! This girl is going to talk to this girl!"
"Are you serious?"
"Seriously, of course!"
Mo Wunian always felt that Wu Mu was irrational, but that was all before, and after they met again after ten years, she was rational in doing most things, but she didn't expect that she was just irrational for such a trivial matter in front of her......
You know, such a small thing will affect them to get out of this world at best. If their whereabouts are revealed today, especially in the princess's bedroom, when they win the hearts of the people to fight for the world in the future...... If they have a bad reputation, few people will inevitably defect to them.
However, it also indirectly shows that Wu Mu has not changed.
"You haven't changed much like you used to......"
"Nothing has changed?"
"It's stupid sometimes. ”
Although Mo Wunian said it, he still agreed to her words and withdrew the spell.
And Bai Mu and the little girl were ready to call the guards in when they heard that there were two more people talking for no reason, but after Wu Mu and Mo Wunian appeared, they were so shocked that they couldn't speak.
After appearing, Wu Mu actually changed the appearance of her original daughter, and she with white hair and Bai Mu opposite her were like twin sisters.
"You've changed back. Mo Wunian's eyes also showed a little surprise, and he didn't understand what Wu Mu said about change, so he changed back. But after thinking about it, he only felt that it was most likely related to the Nine Cangjian Sword......
And Bai Mu saw a person who was almost exactly the same as himself, it should be said that he was the same, and he also let out a surprised voice: "Are you?"
Even Wu Mu himself didn't know why, he looked at Mo Wunian with a surprised face, and then looked at Bai Mu opposite, she should have been "proud" and wanted to say something to Bai Mu...... It can be seen that she has returned to her original appearance, and she didn't know what to say for a while, so she stared at each other blankly.
The two sides have been staring at each other in a stalemate.
Until Mo Wunian said to Bai Mu: "Actually...... She is the one you said during the day, Your Highness, do you believe it?"
He didn't say this because of any bad taste, but then he told her everything about his non-incident.
Wu Mu naturally felt that he was a little hasty in doing this, but he saw that he had hidden some important parts, and only lied to her that he was missing the immortal who was going to cross the catastrophe.
And Bai Mu was actually as simple as the palace maid she called Xiaoyue, Mo Wunian just said this, and she believed everything.
"So...... You're here to cross the catastrophe, and when you reach a certain point, you'll become immortals, right? Haha...... I actually look the same as the immortal!hehe...... "Bai Mu smiled like a girl with a spring, and he was also convinced of Mo Wunian's words.
In this way, in the second half of the next night, Mo Wunian's original plan to go and see the movements of Emperor Yongping again did not come to fruition, so he had to accompany Wu Mu to stay with this princess for most of the night to chat and chat.
Until dawn, if Mo Wunian hadn't forcibly taken Wu Mu away, she might have been reluctant to continue to want to stay.
But on the way back, Wu Mu didn't say a word, as if she was thinking about something, until she returned to the small courtyard, she said with a little melancholy like the princess last night: "If you say...... We're going to get out of this world...... In fact, if it means that the world is about to be destroyed, then are we considered cruel?"
She and Bai Mu had a good chat last night, although she may not touch childish topics for a long time, it doesn't prevent her from chatting with her about embroidery, rouge gouache or something......
On the way, she thought that Bai Mu was a living person, her thoughts, words and deeds were so real, and they were going to take away her father's world, which was actually taking away her happiness, so she thought of the disappearance of this world, and thought that more real people were disappearance.
This is indeed a matter of thought, and it is a question that must only be understood. Mo Wunian thought that since the Demon Emperor could create a large area of land at will, he couldn't say that this world was between half-truths and half-truths.
If they take the world as real then the world should be real, and it will continue to exist, and if they take it as false, then it will be just a dream...... Dream, can it be so real?
Perhaps, what the Demon Emperor has to do is not how they appease the world, but how to get out of the virtual and the real!
It is true that at the beginning, Mo Wunian thought that the demon emperor was the co-master of heaven and earth, and probably tested people and thought about how to guide people in the direction of governing the world!
Of course, now that Wu Mu said this, maybe all the directions are wrong......
This Demon Emperor is indeed ruling the world like the supreme ruler of the Great Xia Dynasty, but then again, he is also a cultivator, so what does a cultivator value the most? Dao Heart! A Dao Heart that can see the void and reality!
"Perhaps...... It was wrong from the beginning, and it depends on the reality of the truth?" Mo Wunian figured out this, and muttered to himself as if he was saying to himself and Wu Mu, but in fact, it was more like saying to this world.
Because his voice sounded flat, in fact, it sounded like a flood bell and resounded throughout the heaven and earth and then continuously!
And after he said this, the world around him also began to blur, and the real people around him were only Wu Mu, Xiao Sanzhu and Zhu Jiuling.
"It's nice to be able to find out what is false...... This is indeed something that the Demon Emperor wants to test you!" But seeing that a person in the void world appeared in front of Mo Wunian and a few people out of thin air, and this person turned out to be Qi Jiugu.
"Who are you...... Why am I here again?" Xiao Sanzhu remembered that he was still eating food and drinking wine as the fourth prince just now...... But in a blink of an eye, it's here again.
"I? I am a person in the Demon Emperor's consciousness world!And this world was born from you, and I was born from this!" he smiled and explained to a few people.
Although Wu Mu has always said that what Mo Wunian said is mysterious and mysterious, but now that she listens to it, she realizes that she really doesn't understand.
But Mo Wunian understood these words......
In his opinion, Qi Jiugu even said it bluntly and clearly, this world is a world formed by the consciousness of the Demon Emperor, and even it is real...... And there is nothing impossible for the Demon Emperor to come as an immortal.
Qi Jiugu can also be said to be the spirit of the world! And he was actually silently wiping everything from the beginning, and even what he said to Mo Wunian at the beginning was deliberately guiding him in the wrong direction......
"Some of you want comfort, some of you want freedom, and some of you want to be pure and good-minded...... Qi Jiugu then continued to explain to them, and the people in his words also correspond to Xiao Sanzhu, the prodigal and comfortable Fourth Prince, Zhu Jiuling, the bird who flies freely, and Wu Mu, who should have devoted himself to Bai Mu if he was not affected by the Nine Cang Sword.
