Chapter 234 Faith
On the way, Meng San heard the man and Ling Shan introduce themselves as Nangong Yue, a carpenter who lived in the city. He liked to study some strange things and sell them or give them away. He was quite famous in the local area.
Meng San initially thought that this man was just an ordinary carpenter with some creativity, but he did not expect that his home was filled with all kinds of mechanisms and equipment.
Ling Shan and the other person hid in the carpenter's home for a few days and found that perhaps because he often used his craft to help some people, this man was very popular in the local area.
Meng San made a conclusion on this.
He is not only a carpenter with some creativity, but also an honest man who is not very smart.
Would a smart person just bring a stranger home and hide him/her for days?
Maybe he is the same kind of person as that bald guy Ji Lian.
Occasionally, when chatting, Nangong Yue would say: "Many of them are just simple tasks. I can use my skills to benefit the people around me. Seeing the smiles on their faces makes me feel warm in my heart."
Whenever he heard this, Meng San would feel that this person was just like Ji Lian, always doing thankless tasks and being stupid.
But the expression on Ling Shan's face was one of awe.
During the conversation, we also learned that Nangong Yue’s greatest wish is to serve the country with his skills.
"Now there is war and chaos, and many people are displaced. Although my power is limited, if I can contribute to the country and benefit more people, it will be a great merit."
Meng San simply sneered at this.
Ling Shan didn't quite agree with this.
"But what if the king of this country is selfish, doesn't care about the people, and only thinks about himself?" she said.
Nangong Yue was silent for a while before saying, "Everyone is selfish, but if he chooses to be a king, he must be able to bear the responsibility of being a king. He does not serve the people but only himself. Such a person is not worthy of being the ruler of a country."
The three of them were silent for a while.
Nangong Yue did not express his meaning directly, but everyone present must have understood it.
If you are not worthy, give up your seat.
Such a simple truth has been thoroughly understood by people throughout the changes of dynasties and throughout the oppression and resistance.
but……
"The king himself will not give up his throne, and no one is capable of shaking such a position of power?"
Ling Shan, who used to be in the palace, would never have expected that one day she would ask such a question like an ordinary carpenter.
But the power behind the Shuiyue Kingdom is so great that she feels that the Shuiyue Kingdom may never be overthrown and will continue to exist for many years.
"Then unite all the forces that can be united." Nangong Yue said, "The power of one person is insignificant, and one person's life is even more insignificant compared to the change of dynasties and the vicissitudes of life. However, faith and belief can last forever. As long as we pass it down from generation to generation, there should be a day of success."
The power of faith.
Ling Shan and Lin Yun were silent.
For the first time, Meng San began to take this seemingly unremarkable carpenter seriously.
To be precise, not just carpenters.
During these few days, Meng San discovered that he was also proficient in the blacksmith's skills, and his speech and manner were not like those of an ordinary craftsman, and could even be comparable to those of some teachers.
However, Nangong Yue's next words made Meng San completely overturn his identity.
In silence, Nangong Yue said to the two of them, "You are from the palace, right?"
The nerves of both of them immediately tensed up.
"Who are you?" Ling Shan did not answer, but asked cautiously. "I am a carpenter." Nangong Yue said, "and also a preacher."
Preachers, in troubled times, spread ideas, give people faith and support their lives.
Ling Shan naturally knew that such people were distributed all over the country, and some had even developed into organizations of some scale.
"I used to like wandering around, and I had many disciples, recruiting them along the way." Nangong Yue seemed to be able to see through her thoughts and said, "These disciples are now spread all over the place, including the palace."
"Then our business..." Ling Shan's eyes were full of shock.
"I've heard of it a long time ago, but I don't fully understand the key points." Nangong Yue seemed to have suddenly become a different person. The original honest and simple look on his face was gone, replaced by an unfathomable look.
At least that was what Ling Shan thought at the time.
"In recent days, there have been many wanted portraits of you in the city." Nangong Yue said in a calm tone, "I relied on my connections in the palace to avoid being interrogated before, but I can't avoid it anymore."
"What do you mean?" Lin Yun asked, "Do you want to hand us over?"
"I hope you can tell me why you want to escape?" Nangong Yue said, "Otherwise, I can't judge whether the two people I saved are worth saving."
This is normal.
For some reason, when Meng San heard him say this, he truly felt that he was not a fool.
Otherwise, who would be so nice to two strangers for no reason?
Not only did he take you in, he also helped hide you. He must have some ulterior motive.
This time, Ling Shan and Lin Yun remained silent for even longer.
Finally, the two looked at each other and compromised.
After all, the only one who can save them now is Nangong Yue in front of them.
They seemed to have no choice, perhaps telling him there was still a glimmer of hope.
"It's conscience." Ling Shan spoke, looked at Nangong Yue, and told him everything Wu Gui and the emperor had done.
"When they were forcing us to confess, they also fed us medicine soups that can cause deformities." Ling Shan's eyes were filled with sadness, and she said, "It's only a matter of time before bones will change. I've only implicated my senior brother."
"I don't regret it." Lin Yun said immediately, "Junior sister, what are you thinking? If they didn't treat me like this, and you died alone, how could I live?"
"So now, the Emperor and Wu Gui want to get the 'Bone Changing' Pill from you?" Nangong Yue said.
Ling Shan nodded.
"I understand." Nangong Yue said after pondering for a while.
He did not ask the two to take out the bone-changing pill, nor did he ask where the bone-changing pill was, which made Ling Shan and the others feel relieved.
After all, this elixir was the real reason why they were suffering from such torture.
Although Nangong Yue's words and deeds so far have been like those of a good person, there is no guarantee that he is not pretending, and his purpose may be to change his bones.
So they have to be more vigilant.
"I can take you to a safer place. You can hide here and won't be discovered." Nangong Yue said, "But you have to promise me that after you go out, you can't tell anyone where this place is."
Ling Shan and Lin Yun naturally agreed.
But they never expected that the place Nangong Yue took them to was exactly under the ground beneath their feet.
