Chapter 82: Selfishness
"In order to achieve supreme cultivation, some people practice closed-mouth meditation, do not say a word to those close to them all their lives, and only think about the way of heaven and earth vitality in their hearts, some people abandon their wives and children, just to give up external things, and some people even mutilate themselves, and they want to change their lives. These people are completely changed because of their practice, what's the difference between using that thing to change?"
Zhan Maha squinted his eyes slightly and said, "At that time, many Tianliang cultivators thought that this was an evil way, and it was an evil demon outside the world who borrowed his body to return his soul. Even if they think that the evil path is nothing, these cultivators want to kill all these people who have made different choices because they don't want to. ”
"The past is the past, and everyone has a different judgment. Ding Ning looked at Zhan Maha and said this.
Everyone could hear what he meant.
The same story is told by different people, with different emotions, and Ding Ning only wants to hear the story itself, and does not want to mix in any emotional color.
"What follows is, in a nutshell, pretty much what you might have guessed. ”
Zhan Maha looked at the withered giant tree with an expressionless face, "A group of cultivators led by the Peerless Wind and Rain Sword formed a rebel army and besieged the Imperial Palace, which is where the Ancestral Mountain is located. There are few people in the palace, but they occupy the ancestral land, and there is the Fountain of Immortality to heal their injuries, and those who have made great contributions can enjoy the elixir of immortality, so even if the rebels surround the entire ancestral land, they will not be able to attack it for a long time, and the battle situation will become more and more tragic, and finally the entire ancestral land will be razed to the ground. ”
"After all, the rebels are countless times larger than the Imperial Palace, and finally captured the ancestral mountain, but a new great war broke out. ”
"Some of the rebels are desperately trying to attack the ancestral mountain, but in fact, they also want to monopolize the elixir of immortality. ”
When Zhan Maha said this, he turned his head to look at Wu Lu Zi, and said sarcastically: "Tianliang no longer exists, and at this time, the biggest threat to the pure rebels is the rest of the tribes in this wasteland. The various tribes of the wasteland who vaguely knew the truth all came with their armies, and most of them wanted to monopolize the elixir of immortality. ”
Wu Yunzi suddenly screamed as if he had been greatly insulted, and said angrily: "My Wu clan respects this ancestral land like a god, and every generation has made a heavy oath to protect this ancestral land, how can it be that I want to monopolize this elixir of immortality!"
"Don't worry, I'm not done. ”
Zhan Maha looked at the angry Wu Yunzi and smiled coldly, and said, "Your Wu clan was firmly on the side of the rebels led by the Peerless Wind and Rain Sword at that time. So the final result was that all the parts of the wasteland that wanted to snatch the elixir of immortality at that time were completely wiped out, and your Wu clan replaced Tianliang and became the largest empire in this wasteland. ”
Wu Yanzi didn't expect Zhan Maha to say this, and he was stunned for a while.
"So in the end, it was these rebels led by the Peerless Wind and Rain Sword, the royal family of the Wu clan, and these people in the sarcophagus?" Ding Ning's face was still calm, and he looked at Zhan Maha and then asked: " Since these people of the Peerless Wind and Rain Sword didn't want to take possession of the elixir of immortality, they thought that it was an evil thing outside the sky, and in the end, they naturally wanted to completely destroy it, but you were so painstaking, presumably because you wanted to get the elixir of immortality, which means that this elixir of immortality is difficult to destroy with their strength, so in the end, they could only make many arrangements and seal it. ”
"Your understanding is really the best in the world, and even this inference is infallible. Zhan Maha looked at Ding Ning and said with some regret: "In the end, these victorious Tianliang people led by the Peerless Wind and Rain Sword could not destroy the elixir of immortality, so they decided to end up in the ancestral mountain and not take a single step, and at the same time arranged all kinds of killing games in the ancestral mountain, so that the strong people outside could not enter at all." ”
"That is, these years are too long, and even the gluttonous beasts that have been raised have died of old age, otherwise just the gluttonous beasts and chaos insects, it would be impossible for the strong people outside to approach the depths of this ancestral mountain. ”
Zhan Maha sneered again, "In the end, the Peerless Wind and Rain Sword is still not at ease, he himself has used the elixir, and when his temperament has not yet changed, he has become one with this tree, as the last guard of this elixir." ”
"How powerful the Peerless Wind and Rain Sword is, and it has the medicinal power of the elixir of life, it can fight again and again like immortality, and thousands of troops and horses are afraid that they will all be turned into powder under his sword intent when they arrive here. I set up a game, originally to see if you have any other way, by breaking the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi here, or changing the way the tree connects with him, so that he can get out of the guard. But I didn't expect you to be able to use these people directly to break it. ”
In the end, they naturally did not want to live in the ancestral mountain, so they withdrew according to their oath, and swore that future generations would take the ancestral mountain as a forbidden place and never enter the ancestral mountain again. ”
"But the Wu clan also left a wit, when the Wushuang Wind and Rain Sword finally set up a ban, they also secretly made a trick and a foot in the ban, which is equivalent to setting a shortcut. ”
......
"How could this be! No way, you must be lying!"
Wu Yun Zi screamed in distraction, "My Wu clan has sworn to protect the ancestral mountain from generation to generation, I haven't heard of it at all..."
"Of course you don't know. ”
Before his shout could finish, he was interrupted by Zhan Maha sneering, "As early as when your Wu clan was officially established, the few people who really knew about it were already dead. ”
Wu Xiaozi was stunned again.
Before he could react, Ding Ning had already looked at Zhan Maha and continued: "So your lineage should be a member of the rebels, but in the end, you were unwilling to end up in the ancestral mountain, and left the ancestral mountain with the people of the Wu clan, but your ancestor learned the secret from the hands of a few people who really knew about it. ”
After a pause, Ding Ning looked at Zhan Maha and said, "If my guess is right, I'm afraid that the death of those people in the Wu clan is also related to your lineage." ”
"You're wrong. ”
Zhan Maha laughed and said, "Although our vein is unwilling to die in the ancestral mountain on the surface, but in fact, we have been ordered by the Peerless Wind and Rain Sword, and in fact, following the Wu clan is to wait for the opportunity to kill these people from the Wu clan to prevent future troubles." Therefore, the hearts of these people of the Peerless Wind and Rain Sword are much colder and harder than you think. ”
"Your vein is on a mission to completely hide the secret of the Ancestral Mountain, but after knowing from the Wu clan that the Wu clan has left a secret that can lead to the elixir of immortality, you have changed your mind?" Ding Ning's face did not change at all, but he continued to ask calmly.
Zhan Maha's brows jumped slightly, and he didn't answer immediately.
Ding Ning looked at him and smiled faintly, "It turns out that those people before have not forgotten their mission for generations, but when they came to you, you wanted to get the elixir of immortality in the ancestral mountain." ”
The sarcastic smile on Zhan Maha's face also disappeared completely, and all of them turned into indifference, he took a deep breath, looked at Ding Ning, and said: "My ancestors were supposed to kill themselves after completing the task, but one of them had a wife who was pregnant, so he committed suicide, leaving behind a pregnant wife, but unexpectedly, the wife also happened to secretly hear some things about them. ”
"So this secret has been passed down from generation to generation until it reaches my hands, and if those people have no selfish intentions, how can this secret come to me?"
Zhan Maha looked at Ding Ning indifferently, and asked rhetorically: "I have my own selfish intentions today, and I think that instead of carrying a mission that has nothing to do with myself, it is better to try to obtain this elixir of life by myself, what's wrong? Not to mention that I don't have many real friends in this wasteland, but what if I have immortality and change my temperament? ”
Li Xixing frowned inexplicably when he heard this.
However, Ding Ning did not refute any of Zhan Maha's words, but just glanced at Wu Lu Zi calmly, and said: "So there must be a powerful prohibition in the future, just by using Wu Xiao Zi, you can cross that powerful prohibition and really get close to the elixir of life... If I'm not wrong this time, then the shortcut to the elixir of life must be opened with the bloodline of this Wu clan's royal family?"
Zhan Maha raised his head slightly, looked at Ding Ning, and said, "This time I guessed exactly right." ”
Ding Ning smiled and didn't ask any more questions.
Zhan Maha also stopped speaking.
The air in the valley seemed to suddenly turn cold and viscous.
Since there is no more doubt, the final battle will come.
