Chapter 89: True, False, Providence
Zhou Cheng didn't really understand what Dao Yun was, and there was actually only one kind of rune he could simulate, and that was the kind of rune that shrouded this world.
This is a superficial, most primitive imitation, which relies on feeling the Dao rhyme runes that envelop the world, and then simulating it with Lingqi.
Even Zhou Cheng didn't know much about the usefulness of this kind of Dao Rhyme Rune, but in his mind, even the Dao Rhyme Rune that could be blocked by one side of the world should be able to fight against the providence of this side of the world.
The Dao Yun rune appeared under the robbery knife, and it seemed that the providence also felt the obstacle, and suddenly there was a thunderstorm in the void, and it seemed to be gathering momentum even harder.
However, even if the robbery knife fell, it was still a purple thunderbolt bombardment, falling on the Dao Yun rune, only causing layers of ripples, but it couldn't break through.
The thunder became quieter, the lightning became less and less, and finally the downpour became sparse.
A ray of sunshine fell again, and a torrential rain quietly dissipated.
Feeling the warmth on his face, Wang Meng opened his eyes, but what he saw was still the terrifying mass grave.
A heavy rain failed to make the world clear, let alone wash away this thick mass grave.
Zhou Cheng stood outside the courtyard, looking at the end of the mountain road, and after a long time, the sound of the wheel of the car turning, the sound was getting closer and closer, and the last teenager pushed a wheelbarrow, carrying a large amount of goods, towards the courtyard.
The young man was naturally Wang Meng, he finally figured it out and made his own choice, the carload of goods was the life needs he bought in Yecheng.
"Uncle, I used some money that shouldn't be used, I am willing to work to make up for it, these are the things I can think of, I have bought some of them, and they should be enough for a while. Wang Meng pushed the cart and walked to Zhou Cheng, took out the money bag from his arms, and pointed to the wheelbarrow and said.
"Isn't it just a good meal, don't take the little things to heart, since you have returned, we have a master-apprentice fate, let's come in as a teacher." Zhou Cheng had a smile on his face, didn't take the money bag, turned around and walked towards the courtyard.
This time, he already called himself a teacher to Wang Meng.
Wang Meng looked at Zhou Cheng's back, clenched his fists excitedly, lifted the wheelbarrow hard, and followed into the courtyard.
The mountain courtyard, as if ignoring the erosion of the years, is still the same as in the spring and autumn.
In the main hall of the courtyard, Zhou Cheng still looked like a young Taoist, but opposite him, there was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy sitting, the young man was heroic and tall, dressed in a white robe and elegant and wise.
"How long have you been following the teacher?" Zhou Cheng asked, turning to the young man sitting across from him.
"Today is exactly three years. The young man replied respectfully, he was naturally Wang Meng.
Unknowingly, he had followed Zhou Cheng to live in another courtyard for three years.
"It's been three years...... Tell us what you think about the situation in the world. Zhou Cheng continued to ask.
In the past three years, Zhou Cheng has taught Wang Meng everything he knows about the art of war, even everything related to cultivation.
Wang Meng got up slowly when he heard this, and then bowed respectfully to Zhou Cheng, he had already lost the jump from three years ago, and he had an atmospheric and calm demeanor.
"Now that Zhao Shihu is old, I am afraid that the limit is not far away, and there are many discords among his sons, and after Shi Hu's death, the north will definitely fall into civil strife. Looking at the sons of Shihu, they are more than brave, but their strategies are insufficient, and their adopted grandson Shi Min is both civil and military, and he is better at winning people's hearts, the lord of the north, or Shi Min. Wang Meng stood in front of Zhou Cheng and talked eloquently, with a feeling of pointing out the country.
Zhou Cheng also nodded slightly when he heard Wang Meng's analysis.
Wang Meng saw that Zhou Cheng did not speak, so he continued: "After the southern regime experienced the rebellion of Wang Dun and Sujun, the Langya Wang clan has lost its peak. ”
"Huan Wen, if you are Huan Wen, how should you plan the world?" Zhou Cheng heard Huan Wen's name, and immediately remembered the young man he saved casually.
Zhou Cheng didn't expect that Huan Wen had stood out in the Eastern Jin Dynasty in less than ten years, not only marrying Sima Shao's eldest daughter, but now he was out of town alone and became a young general with heavy troops.
"After Zhao Shihu is not dead, the chaos has not arisen, and he cannot compete with it. Huan Wen and Jingzhou Yu Liang have a very good personal relationship, and the two have been determined to help the world together, which can be helped. In the land of Bashu, Li Xiong was deceased, and the crown prince Li Ban succeeded to the throne, but Li Ban was not the son of Li Xiong, which must be the source of civil strife. With the civil strife in Bashu, Huan Wen can unite with Yu Liang, and the soldiers of Xu Jing and the two states went up the Yangtze River and took the land of Bashu as the foundation. If you go west and Zhurong to the south, you can only wait for Shi Hu to die and change in the north, and Huan Yu and the two of them, waving the army Wan and Luo, then the world can be determined!"
Wang Meng continued to talk eloquently, he stood in Huan Wen's point of view, looked at the general trend of the world, and had designed a road for Huan Wen to dominate the world.
"Haha..... Occupy Jingzhou, take Bashu, and wave the army to Wanluo...... You and Zhuge Kongming are the same after all!" Zhou Cheng suddenly laughed, and his expression when he looked at Wang Meng became more and more strange.
Wang Meng's plan is actually the same as Zhuge Kongming's grand countermeasures more than a hundred years ago, but Wang Meng has always looked down on Zhuge Kongming before.
"The disciple also has to admit that in such a situation, Zhuge Kongming's strategy is indeed the best, this strategy can be described as foolproof, but the will of heaven is unpredictable....." Wang Meng's face was slightly embarrassed, when he evaluated Zhuge Kongming as a loser, his words were still in his ears, but now he also came up with the same strategy as Zhuge Kongming.
If the world was divided into three points back then, Liu Bei didn't send Guan Yu to guard Jingzhou, maybe everything was really as grand as it was, and the revival of the Han Dynasty was completed in Liu Bei's hands, but in the end, Zhuge Kongming calculated everything, but he couldn't understand the will of heaven and the people.
"Maybe you're ....... All the way!" Zhou Cheng said noncommittally.
"The master suddenly mentioned this, but he wants the disciple to go down the mountain to assist Huan Wen?" Wang Meng didn't understand why Zhou Cheng suddenly linked himself to Zhuge Kongming, he thought that Zhou Cheng was examining him, and planned to let him go to assist Huan Wen.
"No..... You also know that the will of heaven is unpredictable, do you know why over the years, why has the teacher only taught you the strategy of the world, but did not give you supernatural powers, and even did not want to tell you the identity and background of the teacher?" Zhou Cheng directly denied it, and then said with a serious face.
What Zhou Cheng said is actually what Wang Meng is most curious about in the past three years.
"Please give me instructions. Wang Meng bowed to Zhou Cheng.
"Three years ago, there was a providence that turned into a robbery knife and wanted to kill you, but it was for the teacher to survive that catastrophe. If I lead you into the Tao, it will harm you, and if I let you know the background of the teacher, it will harm the entire teacher. Do you complain about being a teacher?" Zhou Cheng finally told a scene from three years ago.
"Providence?" Wang Meng stared at him and subconsciously raised his head.
Wang Meng naturally couldn't see the will of heaven, but when he heard that the will of heaven wanted to kill him, he couldn't help but feel a wave of hatred in his heart.
It seemed that this hatred had attracted something hidden in the depths of Wang Meng's soul, and an unyielding will erupted from Wang Meng's body, and that will was completely aimed at the will of heaven.
At that time, Providence also felt that it was being targeted, and the purple thunder in the void converged, and in the layered space, a purple blade slowly stretched out......
"Huh? the breath of another soul...... Is that really the case?" Zhou Cheng felt another soul breath from Wang Meng, and a somewhat vague guess that had been somewhat vague for a long time was gradually confirmed by Zhou Cheng.
Feeling that the will was directed towards the will of heaven, Zhou Cheng hurriedly escaped from the Yuan Shen, and a huge Yuan Shen light and shadow appeared in the sky above the other courtyard.
Yuan Shen pressed down and pressed back the will on Wang Meng's body.
At the same time, Zhou Cheng's voice lingered above Wang Meng's head: "Okay, don't fight against the will of heaven yet." Our world has been blocked, and it is difficult to say whether the so-called providence is real or not. ”
Zhou Cheng's inexplicable words seemed to mean something else, but when he finished saying these few words, the unyielding will seemed to loosen and receded like a tide.
As this will receded, the blades in the void also dissipated, and the originally violent thunder gradually faded away.
Wang Meng also looked at Zhou Cheng a little overwhelmed, this was the first time he had seen Zhou Cheng's Yuan Shen, and the shock in his heart was naturally indescribable.
On the contrary, he did not feel another will in his body, nor did he perceive the change of providence in the sky.
"Master..... What happened to our world being locked down?" Wang Meng had too many doubts in his heart.
"That is the primordial god for the teacher, as for the blockade of heaven and earth, this matter involves a lot, and even the teacher has not yet understood it. However, all this seems to be related to Buddhism, and what the teacher is doing is also preventing Buddhism from spreading the Dharma to the world. "Zhou Cheng actually didn't hide much from Wang Meng, and the only thing he hid was for Wang Meng's good.
"Now the four hundred and eighty temples in the north, the prosperity of the Buddhist temple is indeed eye-catching, especially Shi Hu opened his faith a few years ago, regardless of Hu and Han, can convert to Buddhism, a large number of Han people who are difficult to survive, have to commit to the temple as a last resort, just one or two years in the north has become the land of Buddhism. Wang Meng had already guessed that his master should be a certain force in the Daomen, so he also had a natural aversion to Buddhism.
Starting from Shile, to Shihu's continued implementation of Buddhism, the northern Buddhism is flourishing, and now on the northern land, countless stupas stand in a forest, with a total of 480 large and small temples.
'Four hundred and eighty temples in the north, the common people kowtow to the floating slaughter', has become a catchy sentence.
"Zhu Shixing is indeed powerful, thousands of times better than Buddha Tucheng, and he has developed Buddhism to such an extent over the years. Zhou Cheng got up slowly, and he was quite jealous of Zhu Shixing in his words.
Zhou Cheng naturally knows the prosperity of Buddhism in the north today, and he knows that all this is actually promoted by Zhu Shixing behind the scenes.
Then Zhou Cheng casually walked in front of Wang Meng, and suddenly he put his palm on Wang Meng's shoulder, and then said solemnly: "Although the teacher can't tell you your identity, but you must also let you know that you Wang Meng is by no means alone...... Behind you, there are not only Wei Shi, but also nearly 10,000 fellow disciples, and you are also the only disciple of Wei Shi at present, and you are a well-deserved senior brother for everyone!"
