"Why?"
Panhu looked up and asked.
Although only a moment had passed between them, it felt like several years had passed on the chessboard.
The time on the chessboard has been completely under the control of the two of them. This is the first time that another being of the same level has controlled time. It is also the first time that Panhu feels that slowing down time seems so easy.
In just a few years, their respective chess pieces have ended up in completely opposite situations.
"Why?" Li Yi raised his eyebrows slightly.
Panhu said in more detail: "Xu He and Li Shengxian have the same talent. Although they started at different times, they are almost the same. To put it nicely, he is an adopted son, but to put it bluntly, he is just a family slave."
"But an agricultural society is different from a pure slavery system. Good households have channels for advancement. It's hard for common people to achieve great things, but there have always been people who have achieved great things throughout history. Nothing is absolute."
"Are you asking why Xu He is the adopted son of the landlord?" Li Yi understood what the other party was asking. "Adopted sons are also family slaves, sometimes even worse than family slaves. If a father beats his son to death, he won't be sued to the government, but killing a family slave will cost some money."
Panhu said: "Those who accomplish great things do not care about trivial matters. If Xu He tries to gain an advantage over the emperor, I will have to endure it. Why can't you endure it?"
A lowly beggar.
At the young age, he passed the imperial examination and became a scholar. His fame spread throughout the area and even spread to people hundreds of miles away. He was even received by the governor of a county.
My wife is from a prominent family, a lady from a noble family, and very pretty.
Panhu was just a chess piece, and he didn't feel anything about it. All the fame and so-called beauties were nothing to him.
But from a human perspective, this can be considered a winner in life.
Then he married the daughter of a wealthy family.
Don't underestimate the power of the aristocratic family. Whether in modern times or ancient times, as long as he doesn't have too many problems, he can rise to the top. Those high positions are all prepared for these people.
Beggars, just like ordinary people, no matter how talented they are and how hard they try to climb up, they will most likely be rejected in the end.
There was no way Li Changsheng didn't know this, but he did it anyway.
Isn't it obvious that he is going to lose to himself?
"Why should I endure it?" Li Yi laughed. "Besides, Xu He is not me. If it were me, I would kill the landlord. I am proficient in all kinds of weapons. I can fight ten enemies with a sharpened bamboo spear."
Xu He is not Li Yi, nor is he Li Changsheng.
Otherwise, with his thousands of years of knowledge, even without any extraordinary powers, he is almost invincible among ordinary mortals. If you give him a long weapon, he can break into the battle and kill the enemy.
Everyone is afraid of death, but there are very few iron armies in history, not to mention that he was facing only a group of servants.
Xu He was just a chess piece tainted with his aura.
"Then why doesn't Xu He want to?" Panhu wanted to get to the bottom of it.
"Since Xu He was enlightened by you, you should know."
Li Yi asked back: "Why do you think so?"
"This can bring benefits, and the benefits outweigh the disadvantages. Just like achieving enlightenment, the position of the Supreme Lord is the enlightenment of this mortal." Panhu replied.
"Achievement?"
Li Yi picked up the chess piece on the board again, rubbed it gently with his fingertips, and said: "I once had the opportunity to become a god, but I gave up. Now Xu He has the same opportunity, and he also has the opportunity to rise to the top."
"It was the beginning of a chaotic era, and the talents of the noble families were dwindling. He was born with a clean background and no foundation, so he was a malleable talent in such a situation. But he didn't want to, he didn't want to succumb to the fate."
"sky?"
Panhu was puzzled.
Li Yi nodded and said, "Yes, Heaven. In their situation, the old landlord who is ready to die at any time is Heaven. As long as they get the approval of Heaven, they can rise to the top. Isn't this also the way to enlightenment?"
Just one sentence, but it was as devastating as a raging storm.
Boom!
Panhu opened his eyes wide, it seemed as if billions of thoughts were bursting in his mind, and something new was being born.
For a domestic slave, the landlord who was ready to die at any moment was indeed heaven. And for me, heaven and earth were also heaven.
The old tree spirit just watched, and fell into deep silence after hearing what he said.
He was not deeply touched, because he was not the one who made the decision, nor was he the one who played chess. But the old tree spirit suddenly began to think about a question: Aren't they also succumbing to the heaven?
He was unable to prevent the catastrophe and finally had to follow the methods of his predecessors.
"Xu He was unwilling to submit to heaven, even though he had become a beggar. I don't know if he can stir up the world and ascend to the throne of the emperor, but he is like me."
The chess pieces fell again, and the chessboard began to change.
Xu He became a beggar, but maybe it was a change of fate, or maybe he was born to be watched by two supreme beings and should not have ended up like this.
On the way, he met a barefoot doctor, who cured Xu He's leg. Afterwards, he followed the doctor around the country to provide free medical treatment to the common people.
"Let's get back to our old ways." Li Yi smiled slightly.
Panhu also picked up the chess piece and threw it casually, and a purple-gold color emerged.
In the second year, Li Shengxian passed the imperial examination and became a county magistrate. Later, a peasant uprising broke out in the area, which he suppressed and was rewarded by the court.
With the combined effect of his prominent family connections and his own abilities, Li Shengxian climbed higher and higher, becoming the county lieutenant of a county, in charge of military power.
A fourth-rank military officer.
At this time, he was already over thirty years old, and with the support of the local noble families, he had thousands of elite soldiers under his command, all of whom were in armor. As long as he raised his arm and called for help, he could gather tens of thousands of people within a day.
He looked down upon the world with eager eyes, waiting only for an opportunity, the straw that would break the camel's back.
