Chapter 259: There are always people who are better than you.
“Boom!”
The sound of muffled thunder squeezed into the house through the gap of the secret door, continuing endlessly.
A black long sword was inserted vertically in front of his body, with the tip of the sword three inches into the ground.
All the blood that the thin man had just spit out had slid down the sword, forming a small pool of blood on the ground, which occasionally caused ripples with the vibration of the Xuantian Sword.
"you say."
The voice of the remnant soul suddenly lowered its tone: "Are you Wei Changtian?"
"senior."
Wei Changtian sneered: "Do I have to lie to you?"
“.”
The remnant soul paused for a moment, and his tone became even more gloomy.
"So Xiao Feng is dead?"
"certainly."
"Hmph! Boy! Do you think I'm so easy to fool? You should know that I..."
"Find five second-rank masters to help Xiao Feng?"
Wei Changtian narrowed his eyes and interrupted, "Senior, I'm sorry, those five people are already dead."
"What?!"
The Xuantian Sword glowed brightly in a flash of black light, and the old man's voice was filled with shock: "Dead?! This is impossible!!"
"impossible?"
Wei Changtian clapped his hands and laughed, "Hahahaha, Senior Ji, you sent them to kill me, and now that I'm still alive, they must die."
"Don't you understand this principle?"
"Bah! Don't you dare try to deceive me!"
The remnant soul cursed and wanted to argue, but suddenly stopped the next moment.
"Wait a minute! How did you know my last name is Ji?!"
"Senior Ji, I not only know your last name"
Wei Changtian leaned forward and picked up a finger of blood.
"I also know that you have been trapped in this Xuantian Sword for more than 1,500 years, and I also know that you once created Kuilong."
"You know Kuilong?!"
This time, the remnant soul could no longer remain calm, and his tone suddenly became filled with shock.
"Who told you that?!"
"Who told me this? We'll talk about it later."
Wei Changtian smiled, and his internal energy burst out of his body, exploding the blood on his fingertips into a small ball of blood mist.
Behind the crimson mist, the faint smile that had been there from beginning to end still hung on the slightly upturned corners of his mouth.
"Senior Ji, I want to make a deal with you."
"Squeak~"
Half an hour later, Wei Changtian pushed the door and walked out of the dark room.
"Sir."
Chu Xianping, who had been waiting outside the door, immediately took two steps closer and waved his hand to signal the others to leave.
"An hour ago, Tongzhouhui sent a message that a war had begun in Yuanzhou."
"Really? Got it."
Wei Changtian's reaction was quite calm, with almost no change in his eyes.
"Brother Chu, send someone to clean up the bodies in the house, and then you can go back first."
"I need to be alone to think about something."
".yes."
Chu Xianping turned his head to look at the dead body lying in the house and nodded.
He was just about to leave to arrange this matter, but before he took a step, he was suddenly stopped by Wei Changtian.
"Brother Chu, if I told you that there are already first-class masters outside of Daning, and there are even more than one, what would you think?"
“.”
Chu Xianping suddenly stopped and turned to look at Wei Changtian, who had a serious expression.
In his previous understanding, the first rank had always been a state that was "out of reach".
Just like the moon in the water and the flower in the mirror, you know it exists, but you can never touch it.
So if there really is a real living first-class master. "Young Master."
Chu Xianping said calmly, "I opened my meridians when I was five years old. I opened 61 out of 64 meridians. I feel that I have extraordinary talent and will become a master who is unrivaled in the world in the future."
"Two years later, I went up the mountain to learn from a master. None of my fellow disciples were as good as me, but my master said that there are countless people in the world who are more talented than me."
"At that time, I was not convinced and thought that the master was deceiving me and wanted to encourage me to practice diligently through this method."
"But when I was ten years old, my master brought back a younger apprentice from the mountain and asked me to fight him."
"I used all my strength to attack this person, but he just raised his arm and threw me three meters away."
“Only then did I believe that there really are people in this world who have all 64 meridians open, and only then did I truly understand the truth that there are always people better than you, and there are always things better than you.”
“So even if there is a top-level expert in the outer realm, it’s no big deal.”
“.”
In just a few words, it tells a very ordinary story, but it also clearly shows Chu Xianping's attitude towards the world.
To be fair, for the "natives" living in a world without news, television, or the Internet, where information dissemination is extremely slow and closed, it is truly commendable to have such a perspective.
But Wei Changtian looked at Chu Xianping without admiration. After a moment's silence, he said softly in a complicated tone: "Brother Chu, what if I tell you that besides the first-class master, there is also..."
“Boom boom boom!”
The thunder outside the house continued, and suddenly it became violent and surging, like waves startling in the night.
After another roar, Wei Changtian did not continue speaking.
"Forget it, it's meaningless."
“.”
These words seemed to be spoken to Chu Xianping, but also seemed to be spoken to himself.
Wei Changtian reached out and patted Chu Xianping on the shoulder, shook his head, turned and left, leaving the latter alone standing there.
So, what else is there in this world? Chu Xianping kept repeating Wei Changtian's last unfinished words in his mind.
But I still can't think of the answer.
Capital city, Daning Palace, Shiqu Pavilion.
It is still unknown what Wei Changtian talked about with the remnant soul in the Xuantian Sword and what deal they made.
But since it is "meaningless", it means that this matter is still far away from him for the time being.
Although it is said that people should have foresight and not be short-sighted.
But in fact, the reason why many people are mediocre is not because they do not have a long-term vision, but precisely because their vision is always far away.
People always have to solve the current problems first, and then they are qualified to think about longer-term plans.
Wei Changtian thought so, and so did Ning Yongnian.
“.”
"My dear ministers, I summoned you to the palace tonight because I want to hear your opinions on something."
Behind the desk, Ning Yongnian looked at the eight important ministers standing before him with an extremely serious expression.
"This matter is of great importance. It concerns the fate of our country, Daning, and the lives of tens of thousands of people."
"So, I just want to hear the truth."
"Do you understand?"
“.”
"Your Majesty, we understand!"
A chorus of responses rang out immediately, but everyone's voice contained the same doubt.
They are all well-known "neutralists" in the court. No matter when Liu, Wei and Xu were in a "three-way confrontation" before, or now when Daning is in chaos both inside and outside, they have never formed cliques for personal gain.
At least, it has never been done openly.
As for the doubt in his tone just now, there were eight people in total, and three of them really didn't know why Ning Yongnian called them in the middle of the night.
But the other five people all knew it well.
"emperor."
Li Kan, who was standing on the left, bowed to Ning Yongnian and asked tentatively, "What's so important?"
"Lord Li."
Ning Yongnian pushed the stack of letters on the desk forward and answered softly.
"You'll know after you look at this."
