Chapter 2197: Clear Heart and Conviction
"The lesson I learned then was even more profound. There is no safe place for the weak to stand." He Lingchuan smiled softly, "If there is no escape, there is no need to run anymore; if there is no avoidance, there is no need to avoid anymore!"
Emperor Mou said nothing.
So far, Jiuyou has been talking about his passive.
However, a truly strong person will not passively accept the arrangements of fate.
"Later, I walked in Shanjin, entered the turbid world, observed the local customs and people, observed the sufferings of the people, and made a great wish to protect the country." He Lingchuan turned around and looked at the stream and river. "The interesting thing is that from the moment I made the great wish to save Shanjin and drive out the demons, from the moment I no longer paid attention to my own misfortunes, the fear that had been following me for many years disappeared!"
Why is it called a "great wish" instead of a "grand aspiration"? Because the wish at that time was too vague and too far-reaching, like a lone wild goose, neither practical nor understood.
Emperor Mou was slightly moved.
Jiuyou spoke with fear in his voice, but there was fearlessness in his words.
"I was born in a grass-roots family. I have no immortals to guide me, no family to worry about my future, and no powerful people to protect my future." He Lingchuan is the son of the governor of the frontier town of Qianyuan, but what is the difference between this background and grass-roots for Emperor Mou in front of him? He Chunhua will not pave the way for him, because he should not have lived so long. "My road is all walked out step by step by myself!"
"But it is precisely because of this that I understand that there are no roads in the world. There must always be people who are willing to cut through the thorns and be pioneers, so that roads can be opened up bit by bit. And when more people walk on it, the road will have the chance to become a broad road."
"Pioneer?" Mou Di repeatedly pondered over the word, and then asked him, "What if it fails?"
"It will not succeed."
Mou Di's jaw tightened slightly.
"This matter is extremely difficult. Who dares to be sure that he will achieve unprecedented success?" He Lingchuan smiled slightly. "That's fine. I may not be the one who ends all of this, but I can be the successor. With my efforts, I can help those who come after me go further and more firmly on this road."
So what if it doesn’t work?
If Prince Yuan fails, Zhong Shengguang will take over;
If Zhong Shengguang fails, He Lingchuan will take over;
If He Lingchuan fails, there will be someone else to take over;
This is the passing on of the torch.
If we keep moving forward step by step based on the foundation laid by our predecessors, one day, perhaps this road will be open.
Moudi examined him.
Jiuyou was not passionate; his eyes and tone were calm.
Calm because of determination.
It would be more accurate to say that he was stating the facts rather than expressing his feelings.
"Dafanghu is still so accurate in selecting people." Emperor Mou smiled helplessly.
He was laughing at himself.
Over the years, he has been selecting people, but none of them are as good as Dafanghu.
It was strange that this was clearly the first time the two met, but Mou Di heard him speak in a friendly and harmonious manner, as if he had been friends for many years.
Jiuyou also knew very well what he was asking, and every word resonated with him.
It was like this when I met letters in the past, and it is still like this when I meet people now.
Could this be a case of familiarity at first sight?
"Since I took charge of Flash Gold, I have come to understand that wishes are karma, fetters are karma, and responsibilities are even more karma, so immortals always want to cut off worldly ties in order to avoid karma. But like Xin Jun, I am willing to accept the entanglement of cause and effect and the burden of karma." He Lingchuan looked up to the sky with his hands behind his back, "We were born in a ruthless world, but we are not cultivating a ruthless way! Only by constantly striving for self-improvement can we stand tall and fearless."
He said that he was firm because he was fearless.
"Success is accomplished—" Emperor Mou took a deep breath, "It doesn't have to be with me?"
He was deeply touched by this sentence.
"Of course, I will definitely be there when the success is achieved!" He Lingchuan said seriously, "Mr. Xin works diligently, isn't he?"
He knew very well what Mou Di had done and why he had done it. They all had the same goal and were working tirelessly towards it.
Therefore, Emperor Mou was deeply touched by his words.
The two looked at each other and burst into laughter.
He Lingchuan laughed happily, but Emperor Xin had a complicated smile.
As expected, those who resist the devil most fiercely and resolutely are never the people from Lingshan. Alas!
When the ministers below heard the two emperors laughing, they all interrupted their work and pricked up their ears.
They really want to know what these two overlords talked about when they met!
But there are many things in this world that are destined to remain a mystery, such as the content of meetings between heads of major countries.
Du Shan and You Huan were also talking, but they remained silent at this time. They waited until the laughter died down before continuing their discussion.
"Good, good, good!" Emperor Mou clapped his hands lightly twice, took a few steps back, and with a wave of his left hand, he suddenly grabbed a spear from the void, the tip of the spear shining coldly.
He Lingchuan was very familiar with this gun:
Yinglei Gun!
The soldiers below were startled when they saw the cold light flashing above, and they quickly ran up.
The two emperors waved their hands and said, "Everyone, leave."
Mou Di held the gun with both hands and pushed it forward: "I heard you really want to see it?"
"Mr. Xin is so generous." He Lingchuan also took it with both hands, and also took a few steps back before straightening the spear and casually making two spear flowers.
The look, the weight, and most importantly, the feel!
That’s right, it’s the Yinglei Gun.
As soon as he grasped the gun, it was as if he had met an old friend whom he had lost for many years. That kind of cold yet intimate feeling could not be replicated by any imitation.
Emperor Mou was also staring at his expression without blinking, and said immediately after seeing this:
"Are you familiar with this gun?"
He Lingchuan's posture and technique of holding the gun are so natural.
You should know that the Yinglei Gun is five inches longer than ordinary spears, so the center of gravity of the entire gun has changed. People who use it for the first time will not be used to it, and it will take at least some time to get used to it before they can use it like an arm.
What's more, He Lingchuan can create the sound of wind and thunder with just a casual swing of his hand. This requires not only skills, but also long-term communication with the weapon.
It was precisely because Emperor Mou was too familiar with it that he could notice the difference between He Lingchuan and Ying Lei Qiang.
"We first met, but we felt like old friends right away." He Lingchuan's eyes never left Ying Lei Qiang for even a second.
The last time he held the Yinglei Spear in his own hands was in the Panlong Illusionary Realm. At that time, he was fighting against the clone of Narakutian who possessed Sanshui Zhenren, and General Hong lent him this weapon.
He felt the magic and power of Ying Lei Gun vividly at that time.
This is a powerful treasure that is not inferior to the magical powers and tools of the immortals.
After many years, he held the authentic product in his hands for the first time in reality. It was indeed true that it was his “first encounter”.
He didn't try to hide it too much, so Emperor Mou could easily see the emotions in his eyes.
He deliberately asked: "Do you have feelings for this gun, or for its previous owner?"
He Lingchuan stroked the gun barrel and said, "Wasn't its former owner the founding ancestor of the Mou Kingdom?"
Emperor Mou smiled and said, "As long as you tell me the truth, I will give you this gun."
Thanks to Bookbag for their generosity;
Thanks to Juanjuan’s good assistant and Gu Sa for the reward.
