Chapter 25 The Heavenly Paths Are Different, and the Hundred Paths Are One
At this time, after Zhou Yan stopped Daji, who wanted to make a move, he walked straight in front of Jiang Ziya. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Jiang Ziya, now that the Lord of Destiny you think in your heart is dead, and he is still dead by your side, I don't know if you have anything to say?", Zhou Yan asked.
At this time, Jiang Ziya had recovered a trace of clarity from the chaos of his mind, although his spirit was still very sluggish because of the previous battle, but he was still sober enough.
After all, as an old man who has experienced many things, his psychological endurance is naturally not too weak, although he fell into a temporary chaos just now because of Ji Fa's death, he can still sort out his heart well and recover himself.
"You won't kill me?", Jiang Ziya looked at Zhou Yan in front of him and did not respond to Zhou Yan's words, but asked a little strangely.
"Why did Bendi kill you, or did killing you have what kind of benefits would it have for Bendi?", Zhou Yan asked rhetorically.
"However, aren't you with that demon girl Daji and the king of Shang all the way, shouldn't it be a very appropriate thing to kill me? I'm your enemy of Chaoge City!", Jiang Ziya asked again.
"What is the king of Shang, why can he be compared with this emperor, this emperor can tell you clearly, just a king of Zhou, he died in the hands of this emperor, as for Daji, she is just a subordinate of this emperor, although she is the woman of this emperor, but this emperor and her concept is not the same, what she agrees with is not what this emperor agrees with, and what she is hostile to is not what this emperor is hostile to" , Although Daji was standing by his side, Zhou Yan still said his thoughts without scruples, and he didn't care what kind of thoughts Daji would have in his heart when he heard his words.
Listening to Zhou Yan's words, Jiang Ziya subconsciously glanced at Daji on the side, and found that Daji did not change his expression because of Zhou Yan's words, and still stood by Zhou Yan's side very respectfully, as if he respected Zhou Yan very much.
But there is a hint of fear in Daji's respect, although that fear is hidden deeply, but Jiang Ziya, who has been fighting with Daji for decades, can naturally see the hidden fear in Daji's heart.
It seems that the Gou Chen in front of him is not a simple character, it turns out that what he and the others thought of before was simply the result of the donkey's head not being in the horse's mouth, and it was fundamentally the wrong direction from the beginning, this unknown Gou Chen is the one who really holds the initiative, and the person we should be vigilant against, not Daji.
"It turns out that you are the real mastermind behind the scenes of the Shang Dynasty, it seems that what we imagined and guessed before is wrong, as the so-called, one wrong step and one wrong step, we and others should have this catastrophe today, but, who are you? Why have we never heard your name before, why are you like you were suddenly born out of thin air", Jiang Ziya also asked the question that Ji Fa asked before, because this question was a question that they didn't know about the entire Xiqi City, and it was also the question they really wanted to know.
"This question, in fact, Ji Fa also asked Emperor Ben before he died," Zhou Yan said leisurely.
"Please also ask the emperor to teach you", facing this Zhou Yan, who was indistinguishable from friend and foe and whose strength was unknown, Jiang Ziya directly used the honorific title.
Although Jiang Ziya didn't know what kind of thoughts Zhou Yan had in his heart, from Zhou Yan's words, Jiang Ziya could clearly hear that Zhou Yan and King Su were not from Daji, and even Daji, as his subordinate, did not really get Zhou Yan's attention, and for himself, it had to be said that it was good news.
Perhaps, Zhou Yan has the possibility of lying, but it can be seen from Zhou Yan's style of acting that Zhou Yan is a person who is extremely confident in himself, and people like this have no reason or meaning to lie to themselves, so Jiang Ziya chose to believe what Zhou Yan said. Although Jiang Ziya doesn't care about sacrificing himself, Jiang Ziya doesn't want meaningless sacrifices either.
Since Zhou Yan doesn't want to be an enemy of himself, then why should he be a strong enemy who doesn't know the depths, you must know that a Daji who can defeat him is surrendered to Zhou Yan for no reason, so Zhou Yan's strength must be much stronger than himself, and Jiang Ziya, who had already received Zhou Yan's punch at the beginning, also felt a trace of power hidden in Zhou Yan's seemingly slender body, like the scorching sun hanging high.
Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, even if Jiang Ziya knew that the deaths of Ji Fa and Ji Lei were actually inseparable from Zhou Yan, Jiang Ziya still lowered his attitude in front of Zhou Yan and did not face Zhou Yan, this was one of his choices.
"Bendi told Ji Fa about his origins, and really told Ji Fa, do you know why?", Zhou Yan asked with a chuckle, although his words were soft, but Jiang Ziya heard a cold sweat in his heart.
"Please also ask the emperor to solve his doubts", Jiang Ziya continued to ask.
"Because Bendi is not afraid that Ji Fa will tell others, because Ji Fa at that time was already a dead man in the eyes of Bendi, and what can't be said to a dead person, because dead people will not tell the news to leak out", Zhou Yan said with a smile.
Looking at the brighter smile on Zhou Yan's face, Jiang Ziya's heart became more and more depressed, although Zhou Yan stood there like an unguarded ordinary person, but how could Jiang Ziya regard the mysterious Zhou Yan as an ordinary person.
From Zhou Yan's words, Jiang Ziya heard a full threat of meaning, and it seemed that as long as his answer made Zhou Yan feel dissatisfied, or the answer was wrong, then he really shouldn't think about leaving here.
Originally, he didn't have any confidence in dealing with Zhou Yan, not to mention that he was already seriously injured in the battle with Daji, and it was also a trauma at the level of the Yuan Shen, so he would not be Zhou Yan's opponent now.
Originally, if Zhou Yan's attitude was very firm and stood on the opposite side of himself, Jiang Ziya would never succumb to Zhou Yan's momentum, and could even fight Zhou Yan to the death.
However, Zhou Yan's current ambiguous attitude, to be precise, his indifferent attitude made Jiang Ziya's heart think more, and the firm confidence in his heart dissipated, leaving behind the idea of how to save his life in front of Zhou Yan.
Of course, Jiang Ziya is not Shen Gongbao, let alone Daji, although he is not as resolute and decisive as Ji Fa, who can completely ignore Zhou Yan's position and exterminate himself from the world, but he is not the kind of person who can grovel and stand in front of the strong.
Previously, because of the king's ascension to the throne, on the one hand, there was a reason for Daji's demagoguery, and on the other hand, it was also because the king himself was not a strong-willed reason, and the king of the Zhou did a lot of things that hurt the heavens and reason, so that the people's resentment boiled, and Xiqi City, which has always been benevolent and loving the people, also had a conflict with Chaoge City because of this.
With the accumulation of time, the conflict between the two gradually deepened and became more and more difficult to mediate.
To be precise, Jiang Ziya was not actually a native of Xiqi City, nor a native resident of Xiqi City, but a hermit who lived in a desert valley, and was only interested in studying the art of I Ching gossip.
If it weren't for the fact that Ji Chang didn't know where he learned about Jiang Ziya's whereabouts back then, so he asked Jiang Ziya to go out of the mountain with all kinds of sincerity, and some of the things that King Xuan did under the bewitchment of Daji back then did touch the bottom line of Jiang Ziya as a person or thought he was a good person, Jiang Ziya would not easily come out of the mountain to assist Ji Chang.
However, although Jiang Ziya was invited out of his seclusion by Ji Chang and lived in Xiqi City, Jiang Ziya also had a gentleman's agreement with Ji Chang when he came out of the mountain, that is, Jiang Ziya would not interfere in the struggle between Ji Chang and King Xu, he would only deal with the existence of the same realm as himself, that is, Daji, which is why Jiang Ziya has always been against Daji, and it is precisely because Ji Chang agreed to Jiang Ziya's conditions that Jiang Ziya came to Xiqi City and willingly joined Xiqi City.
Therefore, although Jiang Ziya is now also a member of Xiqi City, he has no real sense of belonging to Xiqi City, and he is not a real citizen of Xiqi City.
Jiang Ziya, who is dedicated to studying the gossip of the Book of Changes and the truth of the Heavenly Dao, is actually not a really good person, because the more profound the understanding of the Heavenly Dao, the more indifferent his feelings will become.
Jiang Ziya's practice originated from the practice of the I Ching Bagua "Tiance Asking the Heart", which is such an orthodox Taoist practice that makes the practitioner's mind gradually become indifferent.
At this time, Jiang Ziya had already unconsciously walked on this road of forgetfulness because of his own practice, and Jiang Ziya himself was of course very clear about his state of mind, and there was also a reason for going out of the mountain back then.
Although, because there is no precedent to refer to in this world, Jiang Ziya has subconsciously noticed that something is wrong with his state of mind, although he doesn't know why there is such a change, but, in fact, he doesn't want to be a person with no emotional changes, he doesn't want to be a wooden person, it is because of such a contradictory psychology and such contradictory ideas, so at that time, his cultivation also reached a bottleneck period, a bottleneck period that is difficult to improve.
At that time, he actually had the idea of wanting to enter the world Hongchen to sharpen his Dao heart, but his idea was not firm, but there were such signs, in fact, even if there was no Ji Chang coming, Jiang Ziya would take the initiative to go out of the mountain after pondering for many years, but at that time, it might be postponed for a few more years.
However, Ji Chang's arrival gave Jiang Ziya a reason to have a firm idea, and Jiang Ziya thought that this was the will of God, so in order not only not to erase the last bit of conscience of himself as a human race, but also to seek an opportunity to break through the bottleneck period, when Ji Chang came to ask him to go out of the mountain, he left the secluded valley with a boat and decided to step into the red dust and enter the world to practice.
