The Word of Heaven

Chapter 230 If ​​there is love in heaven
It's not corpse oil, nor is it corpse parts.

At least this way you don't have to feel disgusted and vomit out the leftover food, and you can maintain your dignity.

The last section of the mountain path leading to the top of Tianqiong Peak is no longer too rugged, and gradually becomes flat. If the formation itself was not too powerful, this would have been a very easy journey.

This time, Yu Sheng walked in front again, deliberately letting Gu Zhuo fall behind her, like a girl bringing her unmarried husband home.

It just so happened that her voice kept ringing, and she was talking about things at home.

"Baidi Mountain is located in the center of the Central Plains, the point on the chessboard called Tianyuan. Whether in the eyes of Taoism, Zen Buddhism or scholars, this mountain itself has a very special meaning."

"In the eyes of the ancestors of the Bai family, this mountain is in line with the original meaning of the Zhongtian Yin Fu Jing. With it as an anchor, we can cover the four fields and establish our rule over the world for thousands of years."

“How can we make this statement become true?”

"The great way is silent, and destiny is ethereal. No one is foolish enough to think that they can always be blessed by destiny. They must focus on reality, on those real and controllable forces."

"For thousands of years, those above me have been striving for this, and this has remained unchanged for hundreds of years."

"What the barbarians are doing now is what the Bai family had already tried when the Qin Dynasty was first established, and they finally achieved something hundreds of years ago."

"That is also a feathered statue."

"The remains of the emperors of the Qin Dynasty have been transformed into feathers."

"This statue relies on Baidi Mountain to survive. It can sweep the world, inspect the world, and shepherd the human world."

“Even if you are far away in Yishui, in the wonderland of Changle, or on the clouds of Xuandu… you still cannot be detached.”

"The whole world lies within our five fingers. With this, the Qin Dynasty will last for thousands of years."

Yu Sheng's voice was very calm, as if he was not talking about one of the Bai family's biggest secrets, but that the dessert shop across the street was having a buy-one-get-one-free sale on mung bean soup today.

Gu Zhuo seemed to be thinking about something, and no one knew what he was recalling.

After a long time, he put aside those unnecessary thoughts and asked, "What is the relationship between this and the true meaning of the Frost Sky of All Things?"

Yu Sheng did not answer directly, but said softly: "About four hundred years ago, the Bai family added an ancestral precept, which required that future generations must never give up the Frost Heaven Tribulation of All Things, and someone must persist in practicing this technique no matter what."

“However, practicing the Frost Heaven Tribulation of All Things is, in a sense, giving up the throne. Except for a very few people who usurped the throne through civil strife, the rest of them practiced the Zhongtian Yin Fu Sutra from the very beginning.”

She said: "The reason why we left such an ancestral precept is because Baidi Mountain needs to be suppressed."

Gu Zhuo raised his eyebrows and asked, "Suppress?"

"Yes, suppression."

Yu Sheng said: "Suppress the souls of our ancestors."

As she said this, the smile at the corner of her lips gradually turned into mockery, full of sarcasm.

Hearing this, Gu Zhuo felt a little sad and thought that this was too filial.

The top of Tianqiong Peak is getting closer and closer, no longer seeming so far away.

Just like those forgotten past events that are about to be uncovered by Yu Sheng.

“The true meaning of the Frost Sky of All Things is born from this.”

Yu Sheng said: "The original purpose of the Frost of All Things was not to prolong life, nor to preserve the soul and heritage, nor was it something that could be naturally condensed when the Frost of All Things was cultivated to the peak."

Gu Zhuo thought for a moment and asked, "Did an accident happen on Baidi Mountain a few years ago?"

There have always been rumors in the world that there are four immortals in the Great Qin, who can compete with the three sects of Taoism, Zen Buddhism and swordsmanship and even defeat them.

The identities of the first three are known to the world, but the last one has only been revealed once, and he is so mysterious that he is almost non-existent.

"Ah."

Yu Sheng said calmly: "At that time, there was an accident in the formation of Baidi Mountain, which is also the source of the rumor."

After hearing this, Gu Zhuo turned his head and looked at Yu Sheng with a complicated look in his eyes.

In a very short period of time, many things floated up like pearls and appeared before his eyes.

Baidi Mountain, the remaining soul after death, the ancestral teachings for suppression, the true purpose of the Frosty Sky of All Things, the breath that was accidentally leaked...all these things are strung together by a thread.

There are still many questions that remain unexplained, but at least one thing is clear.

——Why is Bai Nanming in this situation now?

All along, Gu Zhuo didn't understand why she let herself fall into this situation.

No matter how brilliant the idea of ​​Star Frost Tribulation is, it is still an unconfirmed conjecture after all. It may not really lead to immortality. Why should you pay such a huge price?

This doesn't make any sense.

Therefore, there must be such a truth behind it.

So this is the truth.

Yu Sheng knew what Gu Zhuo was thinking.

She did not choose to avoid the topic. She was silent for a while and then said, "In fact, the master has always wanted to make this decision, but she never had the opportunity in the past, so she did not hesitate at all."

As she said this, the girl stopped and looked at the scorching summer sun through the branches.

The green leaves were reflected by the sunlight, revealing a touching tenderness that she never got tired of looking at.

However, when she thought that soon all these tender greens would turn yellow and be swept to the ground by the autumn wind, she felt bored.

This is a very important thing for her.

"Master doesn't think he is inferior to anyone else."

Yu Sheng paused and said, "Including that person."

Gu Zhuo was silent for a moment, then sighed and said, "So she wants to take this opportunity to prove herself."

Yu Sheng shook his head and said, "Maybe it's not a proof."

Gu Zhuo said with some sadness: "After all, that happened a hundred years ago."

Yu Sheng didn't say anything else.

Some things don't need to be stated so clearly, because many things are inherently unclear. No matter how clear-headed a person is, there will be moments of confusion, and no one can be immune to it.

Before making a decision, there is only one thing you really need to make sure of, and that is that you can afford the consequences.

Of course, most people think they can do it before they make a decision, but in fact they always can't.

Yu Sheng is not that kind of person.

Gu Zhuo is neither.

So the two of them continued to climb the stairs.

Under the sunshine, the wind is gentle.

"I envy you, actually."

Yu Sheng suddenly said.

Gu Zhuo didn't care and said casually: "What do you envy me for?"

Yu Sheng glanced at him and said seriously, "I envy you for being so shameless."

Gu Zhuo was very annoyed and asked, "Why am I shameless?"

"If you really had some shame, there wouldn't be so many girls in Changzhou Academy who regard you as their dream lover."

Yu Sheng stated objectively and mockingly, "The facts are beyond doubt."

Gu Zhuo really wanted to say that it was for the Tongsheng Pill, but he knew that this could not explain all the problems, so he remained silent.

Yu Sheng was very satisfied with the fact that he had nothing to say.

Then, she felt that this kind of silence was not as good as a rebuttal, and it felt like giving up, which she didn't like very much.

However, she couldn't continue talking, as that would be too petty and not what she wanted to do. There was a long silence.

The only sound left on the mountain path was the sound of footsteps, no other sound remained.

It was not until the top of Tianqiong Peak was right before their eyes, no longer far away on the horizon, that the two of them heard other sounds again.

Yu Sheng said: "The true meaning of the Frost of All Things is not corpse oil, but something that is almost like a relic."

Gu Zhuo thought for a moment and asked, "Is that the strange light I saw in the formation of the old imperial city of Wangjing?"

He had some guesses about this, but ultimately he needed a clear answer.

"Scraps."

Yu Sheng explained, "This was one of the attempts made by the ancestors of the Bai family."

Hearing this, Gu Zhuo recalled the file he had seen in Wangjing. It contained the time when the formation of the old imperial city was changed, and he thought that it was here.

"Aren't you curious at all?"

Yu Sheng stopped, looked at him and said, "Why did Baidi Mountain have to be suppressed?"

Gu Zhuo asked: "Is this an exam?"

Yu Sheng said: "Yeah."

Gu Zhuo thought about it, squatted down, brushed off the dust on the mountain path, and sat down.

All kinds of scenery come into view.

Deep blue sky and light white clouds.

The leaves on the mountain are bright green, but after being exposed to the sun, they look overly greasy, which makes people feel disgusted.

Gu Zhuo was thinking about the question raised by Yu Sheng. Even without the sound coming from the wind, he had an answer in his heart.

From a hundred years ago.

“It’s something that has to be done.”

He didn't think too long before asking, "Otherwise the Qin Dynasty would have collapsed, right?"

Yu Sheng sat down next to him and said, "Yeah."

Gu Zhuo suddenly felt a little tired, closed his eyes, and said, "Anything else you want to ask?"

"No need."

Yu Sheng was silent for a moment, then he whispered, "Heaven and earth are the inns of all things. Humans have never been the masters of heaven and earth. They are just temporary travelers, nothing more."

Gu Zhuo smiled, with a hint of emotion in his smile, and said, "Then one day, a customer in this inn felt that the vase in the room really suited his taste, so he had an idea."

Yu Sheng said: "The idea is to take it for yourself and put it into practice."

"So~"

Gu Zhuo's voice was somewhat sarcastic: "It's fine if the matter is not discovered. If it is discovered, won't the store owner chase and beat you?"

Yu Sheng said slowly, "If we want to resolve this matter, the first thing we need to do is of course return the item to its original owner, but the store owner may not be willing to do that."

Gu Zhuo nodded and said, "The shop owner is alone and can't find any relatives in the human world. Of course, he doesn't need to give face to anyone."

Yu Sheng said, "Anyone includes the thief's relatives. Unfortunately, the thief's relatives live in this inn, so the innkeeper naturally wants to take them into consideration as well."

Gu Zhuo took over the conversation.

"In order to avoid being kicked out by the store and becoming homeless, the thief's relatives naturally had to make some gesture."

He said: "I took the item back first, but the shopkeeper looked at it and felt that the product was not what he wanted. However, he was not a stingy person, so he let it go."

Yu Sheng looked up at the azure sky, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "But the thief's relatives knew that there was really something wrong with that thing. In order to hide the problem, they had to make up for it and pay a higher price."

Gu Zhuo suppressed his smile and said, "Otherwise, if the store owner finds out, things will be terrible."

The conversation ends here.

The store owner is the law of nature, the customer is all living beings, and the thief is the Bai family.

Baidi Mountain is the vase that was stolen in a certain year and month and was damaged in the process.

Everything is clear now.

This is undoubtedly the Bai family’s biggest secret and their lifeblood.

For thousands of years, perhaps only the emperors of successive dynasties and people like Bai Nanming were qualified to know.

Yu Sheng said: "Anything else you want to ask?"

Gu Zhuo was quiet for a moment, then said, "Why did you take the initiative to tell me this?"

Yu Sheng said, "Since you have decided to stay out of it, and I agree with you, there is nothing to hide, and it is not necessarily possible to hide it."

It's true. She never drags her feet when doing things. She just wants to do things cleanly and efficiently.

Gu Zhuo thought for a moment and said, "What are the consequences of taking away the true meaning of the Frost Sky of All Things?"

"Why did the Qin Dynasty come to an end?"

Yu Sheng answered himself: "It's because of the continuous natural disasters in the past twenty years. There is no trace of water on one side, and there are strong winds and rainstorms on this side. The cultivators can change the weather in a short period of time to protect the land and water, but it is only temporary because no one can survive this day."

There are also some words in history books that she has never spoken.

Why are scholars in decline nowadays, still inferior to Taoism, and the gap between them and Zen Buddhism is so great?
This is because when the Qin territory was hit by natural disasters, countless scholars paid the price with their lives so that more people than themselves could survive, and this was a process that lasted for twenty years.

Then it is not surprising that the prime minister who entered the immortal world that year died of exhaustion, right?
Why did the scholars do this?
Maybe it’s because... no matter whether the scholars’ tempers are good or bad, they always care about others in their hearts, otherwise it would be impossible to reach such a high level - this is the truth that scholars believe in.

And in many cases, this is equivalent to being a good person.

Good people often die the fastest.

"Let's go."

Yu Sheng stood up, let the memories of the past fade away from his eyes, and continued climbing the mountain.

Gu Zhuo followed him.

This is the last section of the mountain road leading to Tianqiong Peak. It is extremely flat and not steep at all, just like taking a walk in the suburbs.

When you get here, the air is no longer as stuffy as in midsummer, but cool as if you’ve returned to late spring.

Yu Sheng could no longer walk in front.

Gu Zhuo stood shoulder to shoulder with her.

Soon, all the stone steps were cleared by the two men.

The view suddenly opened up.

Tianqiong Peak is lush and green, which has nothing to do with barrenness. The branches and leaves of the trees grow particularly beautifully, perhaps because the nutrients in the soil are particularly abundant?

Unfortunately, the distance between the trees is too monotonous and there is no trace of any small animals.

And in the very center of this dense forest, there is a lake.

The lake is about a hundred feet wide, occupying most of the space on the top of Tianqiong Peak, quietly reflecting the entire sky.

In the center of the lake, there is a rock protruding arrogantly, like an ancient sword that has been silent for countless years, confronting the heaven and earth with a tough attitude, proudly showing its powerful strength.

There was a person sitting on the sword stone.

This is sitting in command.

It is also repression.
