Chapter 336 No Regrets
While Ning Mingmei was thinking about how to defraud Kongchao Laohuo, he did not forget to ask Wu Min: "What about you?"
"I?"
"So what do you want?"
Wu Min looked at the dead leaves in the darkness. He spoke slowly, "What I want... I had a classmate. He died in the Jiantiansi, in front of the execution platform. Later, his bones were placed there as a warning to others."
"He's your friend, right?"
"No. I don't have any such friend."
"Why are you cooperating with me? To collect his body?"
"After the Tang Wan incident, the Fire in the Fire became erratic. The Jiantian Division invited the Qingji Sect's Wuwei Zhenren and Wukong Zhenren, with their help, stabilized the flame. In the process, they extracted the souls of my classmates to stabilize the flint. And I was sent to the Qingji Sect to become a disciple and learn skills, so as to become a link between the Jiantian Division and the Qingji Sect. This is the forgiveness of the Grand Master of the State for my sin of not reporting my classmates' plot in time. On the way here, I originally had an idea - to design a plan to take Tang Wan away from you, let her enter the depths of the Jiantian Division, and return to the Fire in the Fire. This can stabilize the Fire in the Fire, and for the Jiantian Division, I have also made a great contribution. I will no longer be Wu Min who made a mistake and was expelled from the Jiantian Division, but a hero of the Jiantian Division. But on second thought, it is not worth it to be your enemy for this matter." Wu Min said.
Ning Mingmei said: "You are right. The imperial court is in decline now, so it would be better for you to stay in the Qingji Sect."
Wu Min smiled: "But Qi Miancheng's promotion gave me another idea. Not only Master Wuwei, but Master Wukong has been sitting in the position of the Supreme Elder for too long."
"Master Wukong is your master."
"What's the point of talking about master and disciple when it comes to interests? I need you to bring out the body of my classmate. There are traces of Wukong's spellcasting on the body, which is evidence of his guilt. With this evidence, I can exchange it for a lot of benefits."
Everyone in Qingji Sect knows that Wu Min is Master Wukong's dog. Someone once said contemptuously that if it weren't for Master Wukong, Wu Min, who was expelled by the Heavenly Supervisor, would have been like a stray dog with nowhere to go. But now Ning Mingmei realized that Wu Min might have deeply hated Master Wukong over the years.
With what kind of heart does he stay by Wukong Zhenren's side and pretend to be so loyal to him?
"I understand your conditions. But the reasons you gave are lame. With just this corpse, what can you get from Master Wukong? Although there are rules in the fairy world that people in the fairy world cannot interfere in the affairs of the mortal world..."
"Master Ning Feng, you don't need to know this. I have my own way." Wu Min said, "Besides, to enter the depths of the Heavenly Monitoring Division, you need royal blood. Immortal Ning, please remember to bring Tang Wan with you."
"If Master Wu Feng insists on saying so, then I won't ask any further questions." Ning Mingmei smiled, but said something that made Wu Min hate him.
The night wind is bleak. Wu Min was in a trance and thought of that dark night many years ago. He heard his father and mother arguing under the window. My father said, “That’s a trap.”
"Those people are related to the mob, and the court originally intended to let them die there. The court sent us to fight, hoping that we who sympathized with the mob would die there..."
The mother's voice was clear: "In this case, we won't go and save people?"
"Those are the people of a city. They are using the lives of a city to play political games, but we cannot just watch the lives of a city die there..."
When the door opened, the white light was too dazzling. Wu Min subconsciously covered his eyes with his hands, but his mother in white bent down and hugged him.
"Your father and I are going to leave home for a while... We will be back soon. Before then, Minmin, be good at home, okay?"
fraud.
What is scattered in the dark night is paper money all over the sky. Wu Min heard someone whisper that his parents were really smart. Dying in that city would earn Wu Min a reputation as the orphan of a general who died in battle.
Then in the second dark night, he saw another person. Also dressed in white, also smiling.
It’s Tianduan.
"Wu Min, you are my best friend, but I cannot tell you about this. I don't want you to be implicated."
fraud.
"I'm only going out for once. If you see the warden, tell him I've been to the toilet."
Liar.
Tianduan, aren’t you very proud of your talent? As the most outstanding disciple of the Heavenly Supervisor, you were shocked by the truth about the Fire in the Fire. But at the beginning, you were just analyzing it with interest, wanting to know how to crack the contract to prove your ability. You kept saying this, but in the end, because of the death of a woman and after reading the historical records of Spark Island, you started talking about the people of the world and had to secretly help the princess escape?
Is that what you said?
"As long as the contract between the royal family and Fire in Fire is broken, there will no longer be such frequent natural disasters. Moreover, the court will have no choice but to start using the skills of Spark Island. In the past, using Fire in Fire was a last resort because the human world had no means of self-protection. But now, since we have the skills of Spark Island, we no longer need to use such means!"
"Wu Min, many things that people take for granted are actually not solid. All it takes is a gentle push, an opportunity, and the fire is out..."
But in the end, what is the ending?
Wu Min raised his eyes in the endless darkness. This time he was a little dazed because he saw a white shadow running towards them.
It was not until the man stopped that he realized that the person who appeared this time was not his mother, nor was it Tianduan.
But it was Ye Xuefei.
"...We don't have much time left, so we have to set off now." Ning Mingmei turned to look at Wu Min, "This happened suddenly, and we don't understand the structure of the Tianjian Division. We can only rely on you."
He turned to ask Ye Xuefei: "How is it on the front line?"
"The army is approaching." Ye Xuefei said.
Ning Mingmei pressed the emergency call button for his team and rushed towards the direction of the Tianjian Division. However, just as he arrived at the gathering point near Jiantiansi, he met another uninvited guest in the dark.
There is no corner.
Fang Wu Yu stood there, looking at Ning Ming Mei with a look he had never seen before. Ning Mingmei saw him, reached out to stop Wu Min and Ye Xuefei behind him, and said, "Fang Wuyu."
He didn't call him senior brother, nor did he give him any kind of intimate nickname. At this point, the positions between the two of them are clear. Just like now, Fang Wu Yu already knew Ning Mingmei's life experience, and he also roughly knew the purpose of Ning Mingmei's coming here.
He had been keeping an eye on Ning Mingmei since he boarded the flying boat. Perhaps he was hiding in the darkness just now and heard the conversation between Ning Mingmei and Wu Min.
Fang Wu Yu looked at him, just looked at him. Those eyes seemed to contain thousands of words, yet it seemed as if there was nothing left to say. Ning Mingmei said: "Fang Wuyu, until today..."
"To this day, I remember the last time the night sky was this dark was six hundred years ago," Fang Wu Yu said. "During the Evil Concubine Rebellion, the palace caught fire and the entire capital was almost burned down. Seven days after everything calmed down, it was a pitch-black night. People in the city were mourning for the deaths. My mother also died in that turmoil."
"..." Ning Mingmei saw Gui Ruoxue and others coming from the other side. He signaled with his eyes that they didn't need to come up.
"My mother is a very gentle woman. She has a single spiritual root and has the potential to cultivate immortality, but her health has never been very good. She is different from my father. She always believes that even hateful people can be pitiful. Before the incident, everyone in the capital was saying bad things about Jiang Heng, but she was the only one who said nothing. She said that Jiang Heng was also a pitiful person. But what was the result? If Jiang Heng wanted revenge on people who bullied and humiliated her, she should have taken revenge on all those who bullied and humiliated her! Why did she burn down the capital, and why did she want to kill my mother?"
Ning Mingmei couldn't give an answer. He thought that even if Jiang Heng was here at this moment, she would not be able to give Fang Wu Yu her answer.
"Fang Wu Yu, I can't answer that. Just like now, I have to go past you, not because I hate you, or because you did something wrong." Ning Mingmei said, "but because I have to go. I have something I must get right now."
Fang Wu Yu finally looked at him. The eyelids of this cultivator from the royal family turned red, and a sound like asthma came out of his throat: "So, why do you have to get it? Why do you have to get it?"
because……
Among a host of sincere or insincere answers, Ning Mingmei closed his eyes and chose one.
"Because I must use it to form something. I must also use it to open the gate of heaven."
“…”
"Is opening the Heavenly Gate salvation? In such a future, will no one be harmed? It is difficult for me to give an answer. Because no one can know what will happen in the future. At the same time, no matter whether the world is getting worse or better, there will always be innocent people who will be harmed in the process of this world's change. And I never think that I am doing the right thing. I am doing what I think is logical, just like everyone in this world is doing things that are in line with their own logic. And this logic comes from the thinking and accumulation that their lives have given them." Ning Mingmei said, "Despite this... I also..."
"I know. I have to do this."
"Otherwise, there will be an emotion that keeps surging in my chest. It will keep me awake at night and keep me angry. No matter if I look at the snow-capped mountains for ten or a hundred years, or sit on the top of the peak for thousands or tens of thousands of years, this emotion will always torment me. It will tell me what you missed at a certain point in time. It will make me imagine a future, or countless futures, in which I have done this."
“…”
Ning Mingmei heard Fang Wuyu's intense breathing. At the same time Fang Wuyu put his hand on the hilt of the sword, Ning Mingmei saw that others also grasped their weapons at the same time.
But Fang Wuyu said: "Okay!"
"Master Fang..." Ye Xuefei said.
Fang Wu Yu did not respond to any calls. He held the hilt of the sword and looked at Ning Mingmei deeply: "Ning Mingmei, you are right. I hope that decades later, when we recall this day, neither you nor I will regret it."
He turned and left. Ning Mingmei asked: "Where are you going?"
"Go outside the palace and lead the Tiyi Guards. The demons broke into the palace once hundreds of years ago. This time, I will never let it happen again!"
Seeing Fang Wu Yu leave, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Xue Zhu whispered, "Is this... what the entire royal family wants?"
"I think this is just his personal behavior." Gui Ruoxue said.
The sounds of killing in the palace were getting louder and louder. Everyone hurried to the Tianjiansi, but saw a group of guards fallen on the steps. Bai Mian rushed in front of everyone, and his face changed after seeing a message left by Bai Ling.
