Chapter 8: Eyes Level
As a cultivator at the pinnacle of his time, Ding Xingfeng knew clearly that there was no such outrageous coincidence in the world.
In just a short moment, Ding Xingfeng witnessed three sudden accidents.
These three accidents, without exception, were all caused by preventing the number of water drifts from matching.
In other words, even God was helping Gu Fangchen win the bet.
So why would Gu Fangchen, a guy with a destroyed dantian and poisoned, be favored by heaven?
If he was born lucky, he would never have ended up like this.
There is only one possibility to achieve this level.
It was he who intercepted the country's destiny!
When the luck of an entire country is concentrated in one person, anything incredible can naturally happen.
Although Ding Xingfeng looked down on this guy, the appearance of national destiny in the Prince of Zhenbei was something that could truly shake the world.
He looked at Gu Fangchen again, crushed the powder in his hand into stone again, and sneered:
"Has Gu Yuye finally gone crazy?"
Gu Fangchen sighed:
"He's not crazy, he's very smart."
"I just found my own son who is the top scorer in the imperial examination, and now he wants to kick me out."
Ding Xingfeng's eyes flashed and his expression became playful.
Biological son?
In other words, the boy in front of him was actually a fake prince.
But the fake prince has the true destiny of the country.
This is the destiny of the country!
Trying to steal the country's destiny quietly is no joke, and it has to happen right under the nose of the Imperial City.
Without the combined efforts of several top Shinto masters, this would be a pipe dream.
And with Gu Yuye's connections, this is entirely possible.
If this matter is related to Gu Yuye, he must have been planning it behind the scenes for a long time.
Swap parents and children, intercept the country's destiny.
So, does the King of Zhenbei want to kick someone out or protect him now?
Gu Fangchen's tone sounded like that of an informed participant, but combined with his previous statements, it seemed that there was another force behind him.
This force was the reason why he had the confidence to come to me without Gu Yuye's knowledge.
Gu Fangchen saw Ding Xingfeng turning the stone between his fingers.
Although the old man had no expression on his face, he already knew that his favorability had increased.
When Ding Xingfeng is in a good mood, he will make small movements absent-mindedly.
On the contrary, when he is in a bad mood, he will freeze.
As for how to brush it?
It's very simple.
Why did this martial saint choose to live in seclusion in the White Horse Temple?
Many people think that he felt that he had committed too many sins of killing and wanted to be liberated in the other world.
But Gu Fangchen knew that it was actually because...
He loves listening to gossip most in his life.
As a place where practitioners from various forces communicate and interact, all kinds of news circulate in the White Horse Temple every day.
With Ding Xingfeng's hearing ability, he could hear clearly even a mosquito chatting in the entire White Horse Temple.
It can be said that he is at the forefront of gossip every day.
It’s really fun.
Gu Fangchen himself is now a huge gossip center.
If he had embellished his experience a little, it would have been enough to make hundreds of headlines on UC Browser.
As soon as he said it, Ding Xingfeng's favorability naturally increased by +1+1+1...
Ding Xingfeng turned around, put his hands behind his back, and said calmly:
"So you came to me, wanting a way out? Is this what you call survival?"
He didn't show it on his face, but he was actually listening with his ears perked up.
Gu Fangchen shook his head and said:
"It's easy for me to want a way out, but what I want is not a way out, but a way forward."
"Not only my future, but also... your future."
Ding Xing was about to be amused again.
He found that this boy was truly a talent, and there were very few people in the world who could make him laugh.
And today, he began to doubt whether he was actually a cheerful person.
People always say that he has killed people like crazy and is a madman.
He used to believe it, but today he found out that he was wrong. It was because they had not seen what a real madman looked like.
But Gu Fangchen's next words made the corners of his mouth freeze.
Gu Fangchen said word by word:
"Do you want to kill Mahamudra?"
Ding Xingfeng turned his head, expressionless.
"Little boy, do you know who Mahamudra is?"
Gu Fangchen raised his hand and pointed at the night sky, then smiled:
"I just said it, there are always some people in this world who can easily control the fate of this world."
He coughed dryly and began to recite the entire text of one of Ding Xingfeng's red secrets.
"In the 125th year of the Yong'an reign, the Great Celestial Samantabhadra of the Qing Barbarians, under the alias Nie Xu, disguised himself as a wandering monk from the Western Regions and came as an envoy to the Wei Dynasty."
"He first engaged in eighty-eight debates, winning all of them. He earned the title of 'Buddhist Saint Teacher' in the Wei Dynasty, accumulating a great reputation and becoming the most famous person in the world."
"Afterwards, he told Emperor Yong'an that he could discern people's hearts and see through demons."
"Our Majesty believed it."
Gu Fangchen looked at the grumpy old man with sparse hair and a slovenly appearance in front of him and whispered:
"The first person we need to investigate is the Marquis of Yizhou, the Martial Saint Ding Xingfeng, who won a great victory against the Qing Barbarians in the north and achieved enlightenment through martial arts."
Old Man Ding suddenly laughed at himself:
"Yes, then you must know what the result is."
Gu Fangchen nodded:
"Ding Xingfeng was born with a heartless heart and a tyrannical nature. He has killed tens of thousands of people alive and takes pleasure in killing. If he is not restrained, he will become a demon that harms and inflicts harm on the people."
Old Man Ding stared at him:
"Since you know, why aren't you afraid?"
Gu Fangchen's expression turned serious, and he saluted Ding Xingfeng very solemnly.
"Since those killed were all beasts who burned, killed, looted, and cooked and ate the people on the border of our Great Wei, I only regret that I didn't kill enough of them. I can't let them be terrified at the mere sound of our Great Wei people's voices!"
This is his true feeling. The Wei Dynasty background in the game is a microcosm of all dynasties in China.
For him, there is naturally infinite empathy.
Ding Xingfeng was silent for a while, then sighed and shook his head:
"ridiculous."
It's ridiculous that even a young child could understand this truth, but no one among the dignitaries and officials at that time understood it.
He reported the true situation at the border, but they said it was nonsense and impossible!
Although the Qingman are barbaric, they are also human beings like them. Since they have cattle and sheep to eat, why would they eat humans?
Some people also don't believe it. Ding Xingfeng has spent his whole life punishing evil and eliminating evil. As a great hero, it is impossible for him to lie.
Then he asked the Confucian sage sitting on Mount Yao.
The sage said:
“Man is born good.”
All these incidents became evidence of his crimes of intimidating the people and falsely reporting his military achievements.
Ding Xingfeng is not afraid of these.
But he later realized that the other party's purpose was not only to make the court fear him, but also to destroy his Taoist heart.
Because Mahamudra was telling the truth.
Ding Xingfeng really enjoys killing people. He is cruel and he kills people in traps.
When he lost his good reputation of being respected by others and could no longer convince himself to take up the butcher knife based on his deeds rather than his heart, he began to doubt whether he should put it down.
But before he could figure it out, Mahamutromanta revealed his true face in front of him.
Ding Xingfeng's first thought was to kill.
However, others only saw him killing the "Buddha's Holy Master" Nie Xu.
Qingman Datiansa's disguise is flawless.
After that, the Martial Saint Ding Xingfeng became a villain who could not tolerate great sages. His reputation was ruined and he was cursed by the world.
Since killing bad people is wrong, should he kill good people?
He disappeared and lived in seclusion for so many years, and for most of the time, he was trapped by his inner demons and was half crazy and half insane.
Until now, he seems to be stuck in the same place.
After much thought, it seems that there is only one way forward -
Killed Mahamudra who was still hiding in Qingman.
Gu Fangchen was acting mysteriously, and Ding Xingfeng originally thought that the "fate" he mentioned at the beginning was just a random fabrication.
It turned out that he actually did it.
Ding Xingfeng sat down, picked up the bowl of water and took a sip.
He raised his head and for the first time looked straight at the young man in front of him, who was like an ant in his eyes.
"Maha Wuliang is a second-grade Shinto Great Sage. It seems that what you want to take from me will be a lot."
Gu Fangchen took a deep breath and felt relieved.
The night wind blew, and he felt a chill through his wet clothes on his back, but he didn't dare to relax for a moment.
From now on, we will get to the point.
