"Uncle Liu, what you mean is that even if he returns to this time and space one day, it won't necessarily be to the present or the future, but to a certain day in the past, is that what you mean?"
Jane Ning asked.
"How is this possible?" Ding Youtian raised his eyebrows. Before he could raise any more questions, he heard Blind Liu snort coldly, "Humph! How is it impossible? Even your wife can understand it, but you, with your rotten brain, can't. This old blind man is really blind to accept a fool like you as his apprentice!"
"I'm stupid?" Ding Youtian pointed at his nose. He wasn't convinced. What Jian Ning had just said was too unbelievable. "Could it be that we have countless clones, all living in the past every day?"
"It's not impossible." Jane Ning couldn't remember where she had seen this before. Someone said that life is a book, and you will never know the ending unless you turn to the end.
If life were truly a book, with each page representing a day, no matter when you opened it, as long as none of the pages were missing, they would always be there. Perhaps when Wu Tai returned one day, he would appear on one of these pages, a day that had already passed for him.
Ding Youtian understood it, but he couldn't figure it out. Just imagine that there are countless of his yesterday selves in the world, experiencing every day he is experiencing at this moment, or he is also experiencing every day his previous self has experienced. Is this really possible?
If this possibility were true, he now only wanted to curse Ding Youtian in front of him. Why didn't he think of leaving a hint for his future self? Forget it, since the previous one didn't leave any, he would leave a text for his future self to prove that this absurd assumption was true.
Ding Youtian asked Jian Ning for a knife, picked a large tree, scraped off a piece of bark, thought about it, and carved a line on the trunk: "Ding Youtian was here!"
After carving, he looked at the line of words, and just as he was about to smile, his heart suddenly shuddered, and he felt a chill running through his limbs. He felt that he had done the same thing many years ago, as if the line of words in front of him had been carved there for a long time. This was too weird.
"Are you childish?" Jian Ning saw that he had spent so much time carving such a line of words and rolled his eyes at him. They had called Blind Liu up the mountain to discuss serious matters. Blind Liu angrily kicked Ding Youtian and said, "You still have the leisure to do this when facing a powerful enemy. I thought you really understood things, but I didn't expect you to be so naughty."
Ding Youtian felt that he had died unjustly. He told the two of them his thoughts. Blind Liu glared at him and scolded him, "You still think you're right? You old blind man just said that. Who can tell whether it's true or not? The world is so vast and full of wonders. Why dwell on these empty things? You'd better think about something more serious if you had that time."
"Master, how do you know that your disciple didn't do the right thing? I asked you to come up the mountain for two important things. One is about Brother Ma. Jincheng is chasing my wife to ask about this matter. We are thinking of asking Master for advice on whether to tell him the truth."
"This old blind man doesn't care. You can think about it on your own. What else is going on?"
"The other thing... Master, here we could be in a war at any moment. Swords and arrows are merciless on the battlefield. I'm worried about your safety here, so how can I prepare for battle? How about you return to Dingxian Village temporarily, and then follow me to my new post after the war is over? Is that okay?"
Blind Liu narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Ding Youtian without blinking. The sight made Ding Youtian feel uneasy and he unconsciously lowered his head and touched his nose.
"Hmph! Don't play tricks on me. You're a bit naive to try to hide things from this old blind man. Tell me the truth as soon as possible. If you wait for this old blind man to find out himself, you won't be able to keep the guy who feeds you."
"Uncle Liu, if he doesn't tell me, I will tell you." Jian Ning risked her life. Perhaps she couldn't get over the moral hurdle of blowing Wu Yunzhu to death. Blind Liu was also Wu Yunzhu's apprentice and an elder whom she respected very much. They were in the same situation regarding Wu Yunzhu. Perhaps she subconsciously wanted his support.
She told him the whole story in detail, and she felt a moment of regret after she finished speaking. If the Black Cloud Pearl was not removed, more soldiers would die. How could she ignore the lives of thousands of soldiers and civilians for the sake of personal morality?
In ancient times, loyalty to the emperor was valued over teachers. Jian Ning thought that Blind Liu would be furious and severely reprimand her and Ding Youtian. But she underestimated Blind Liu.
What kind of storms had Blind Liu not experienced in his life? Moreover, a kind army is not in command, and respecting his teacher is his duty. He has never been a hesitant person. He helped Emperor Yongping conquer the Five Kingdoms and establish the Dayan regime. He has come through the smoke of war and bloodshed to this day. He knows that soldiers are the backbone of the court, and the people are the foundation of the court!
Personal feelings can never surpass national justice at any time or place, and can never be above thousands of soldiers and civilians!
He stood on the cliff, gazing deeply towards the direction of Jishui City. After a long silence, he slowly said, "We are master and disciple after all. I will go see her tonight."
After saying that, he turned and looked at Jian Ning, "My disciple's wife, do you want to go with me?"
He still addressed Jian Ning as his disciple's wife. Hearing this, Ding Youtian and Jian Ning were both shocked. Ding Youtian bowed deeply to him and said solemnly, "Master, my wife has severed the master-disciple relationship with her. We've said everything that needs to be said. It's better for her not to go."
Jian Ning also said, "My master is Qiao Yujiao. I only recognize Qiao Yujiao as my master. She told me before that when she was young, she took her mother's surname and was also called Wu Yunzhu. She said she liked the name Wu Yunzhu. Oh, yes, that nameless person is her. She also traveled through our time and space twice. Once was during the Republic of China. She must have traveled from the Republic of China to this time and space, and then traveled back to my previous time and space and became my mentor Qiao Yujiao."
Ding Youtian raised his eyebrows, "Master, then she must have had another name before, right?"
Blind Liu didn't say anything, and turned his head to look at Jishui City again. He didn't know whether Wu Yunzhu had other names when he accepted the three brothers as his disciples. He only heard Feng Qingzi say that his master's surname was Wu and his name was Wu Yunzhu.
At night, Blind Liu flew to Jishui on his sword. When he appeared in the sight of the soldiers guarding the city, it caused a commotion. Most people in Yue State had heard of the sword-flying technique, but no one had seen it with their own eyes. When they first saw it, they didn't know what to do.
"Shoot! Shoot!" A small leader on the tower reacted and shouted in panic: "Shoot! They're coming from Xing'an! Shoot them!"
Suddenly, arrows rained down like locusts, flying towards Blind Liu in mid-air with a sound of breaking through the air. Blind Liu flicked his two wide sleeves, sweeping away all the arrows.
On the city wall, the little leader was still shouting, when a beam of white light came towards him. He let out a strange cry, covered his chest, staggered a few steps, and fell headfirst off the city wall.
"Old Immortal, please spare our lives!" Several soldiers were so scared that they knelt down and kowtowed to the Blind Liu who was flying towards them.
