Chapter 254: Observing the Heart Without Saying a Word
"General, all the people you invited have arrived. Should we ask them to set off for Zhuolu County immediately?" An Sheng came to An Tianzuo's office and said.
"Let them rest in the villa first. After I finish the matters at hand, we will go to Zhuolu together." An Tianzuo said.
"General, do you really want to go to Zhuolu in person?" An Sheng asked seriously.
"My mother is there. How can I feel at ease if I don't go?" said An Tianzuo.
"General, please think twice. Even if you go, the madam will not change her mind because of your request. It will be difficult to take care of both ends then. You won't be able to invite the madam back, and without you at Qizi Mountain, there will be no way to solve any problems. The foundation of the An family for so many years and the Luoyang City that you swore to protect will be destroyed. If that happens, Miss Luo will not be happy if she knows about it." An Sheng said.
Hearing the words "Miss Luo", An Tianzuo's eyes showed a bit of strangeness, but he said in a cold voice: "Don't talk about Xiao Luo, it won't work this time. Filial piety comes first. My mother is in such a dangerous place, her life may be in danger at any time. How can I just sit at home?"
"Then let me ask you, if you go, will your wife be able to come back?" An Sheng asked.
"No, but I can accompany her into the ancient battlefield." An Tianzuo said.
"You can indeed do that, but what about Luoyang? Luoyang cannot be without a master for a day, and it cannot do without you. And even if you accompany your wife into the ancient battlefield, she will still be in danger, right? You can't guarantee that she will be safe." An Sheng said.
"If I don't go, she will be in greater danger." An Tianzuo was very persistent.
"The safest way is to persuade Madam to come back. In fact, there is a way to persuade Madam to come back." An Sheng said with narrowed eyes.
"How to persuade her? Are you going to persuade her?" An Tianzuo curled his lips. She knew Ouyang Lan's character very well. Since she decided to go, no one could persuade her to come back.
"Of course I can't, but there is someone who can," An Sheng said.
"Who? Uncle Feng? I'm afraid he can't do it. If he could, my mother wouldn't have gone to Zhuolu." An Tianzuo shook his head slightly. Ouyang Lan would never give up her own ideas and principles for Zhou Lingfeng.
One of the reasons why she chose Zhou Lingfeng was because he was a man who knew how to respect her.
"Uncle Feng naturally can't do it either, but there is one person who can." An Sheng said confidently.
"Who else?" An Tianzuo frowned slightly, but couldn't figure out who An Sheng was talking about.
"General, how could you forget about Zhou Wen? Madam asked Zhou Wen to take the risk in the Holy Land instead of An Jing. Although Zhou Wen came back safely and got some benefits, he also offended the six major families because of this. With Madam's personality, she must feel that she owes Zhou Wen. In addition, Zhou Wen has a relationship with the old principal. If Zhou Wen is willing to persuade her, Madam may change her mind. I'm going to say something you may not like to hear. Zhou Wen's going is more useful than you and Miss Jing going." An Sheng said.
"No, the An family's affairs don't need an outsider like him to interfere. Besides, he is just a legendary student. Going to a place like Zhuolu will only cause chaos. Who knows what kind of trouble he will get into." An Tianzuo directly denied it.
"I'm afraid that to Mr. Ouyang, you, the governor, are an outsider. He treats Zhou Wen better than you. Zhou Wen took the initiative to ask to go to Zhuolu this time. By the way, let him persuade his wife. I think this is quite appropriate and more useful than you going." An Sheng said.
An Tianzuo frowned and thought for a while before he spoke: "Keep an eye on him and don't let him get into any trouble. Also, he wants to go there on his own, it has nothing to do with our An family, and if he dies there, you can't blame anyone else."
"Don't worry, Governor. I will keep an eye on him and prevent him from causing any trouble." An Sheng said quickly.
Zhou Wen received a notice from Ansheng that he would set off for Zhuolu tomorrow, so Zhou Wen had to say goodbye to Wang Mingyuan overnight.
"Are you going to Zhuolu?" Wang Mingyuan frowned slightly after listening to Zhou Wen.
"Yes, the old principal treats me like a family member. If I don't go, I will never feel at peace." Zhou Wen said.
"Zhuolu is a very ominous place. It would be fine if you don't go in. But if you go in, it will be difficult for you to escape unscathed." Wang Mingyuan thought for a moment and said again.
"I know my strength is limited, so I will just wait outside and will not enter the dimensional realm." Zhou Wen said.
Wang Mingyuan just smiled after hearing this and patted Zhou Wen on the head. "Although you haven't been with me for long, I still know your character a little bit. If you didn't want to do something, why would you travel thousands of miles to go there?"
Zhou Wen opened his mouth and wanted to argue, but Wang Mingyuan waved his hand, signaling him not to say anything.
"Wait a moment." Wang Mingyuan said, walked to his desk, took a piece of paper and a pen, wrote a few words, then folded the paper into small squares and put them into a metal box the size of a matchbox.
"Take this. If you are really trapped in that ominous place, open the box and read the words on it. Maybe it will help you in your situation." Wang Mingyuan said as he stuffed the small metal box into Zhou Wen's hand.
"Thank you, teacher." Although Zhou Wen felt that this would be of no use, he still respectfully took it with both hands and bowed to express his gratitude.
"I've told you so many times that there are no rules when following me. Look, when Ziya took things from me, he never even said thank you." Wang Mingyuan said with a smile.
"He and I have different personalities, but we both have the same respect for you, teacher." Zhou Wen shook his head and said, he really couldn't learn from Zhong Ziya.
However, Zhou Wen did have an indescribable sense of intimacy with Wang Mingyuan, just like the fate between him and the old principal. Even someone as cold as Zhou Wen couldn't help but get close to Wang Mingyuan.
Wang Mingyuan didn't care. He took a book from the desk and handed it to Zhou Wen. "You should have a lot of free time on the way this time, and you can't fall behind in your studies. Take this book and read it. Come back and tell me your understanding and opinions."
Zhou Wen took the book and responded. Wang Mingyuan didn't ask him to stay any longer and asked him to go back and pack his things. Zhou Wen spoke a few words to Jiang Yan who was reading a book. Seeing that Zhong Ziya and Hui Haifeng were not there and probably wouldn't come back so late, he said goodbye and left.
After saying goodbye to Li Xuan and the others, Zhou Wen entrusted the antelope to Wang Lu's care. He then went to the supermarket and bought a large amount of storable food and water, which he put into the Chaos Space in case of emergency.
Zhou Wen also put the small metal box given by Wang Mingyuan into the chaotic space. He had no intention of entering the dimensional space, so he would definitely not need it.
He picked up the book Wang Mingyuan gave him and flipped through it, and found that it was not a book about palm techniques, but a book called "Observing the Mind Without Saying Words". It contained some of Wang Mingyuan's experiences, but not experimental experiences, but experiences in various realms of cultivation.
Although this book does not contain any cultivation methods or techniques, Zhou Wen read it with great interest, almost as if it were a treasure.
