Chapter 1467: Everything depends on human effort

Chapter 1472 Everything depends on human effort

The most valuable "Eighty-Eight Immortals Scroll" was left in the Divine Works Bureau, which made the emperor secretly resent Wu Daoxuan.

After a few days, he, the chief of the Divine Armor Division, was neglected and no one cared about him. He gradually disappeared from the court and the public. This experience was closely related to the fact that the Suppression of Ghosts Division had become a world-famous department, and there was some kind of connection with Zhang Wu in the dark.

He didn't know what this secret connection would eventually lead to.

But Zhang Wu's steps kept moving forward. He still couldn't catch up with the other party's back until now, but he could feel more that he was just an ant in one of his footprints!

With resentment that his future was cut short, Wu Daoxuan climbed Mount Huashan, wanting to compete with his junior brother, hoping to win and prove something to Zhang Wu.

But now when he really saw Zhang Wu, the loneliness and resentment that had accumulated in his heart for many years suddenly subsided a lot!

Isn't it because of my own insignificance that I resent Zhang Wu?

It's not just my insignificance of status, but also my insignificance of mind and spirit, which makes me see those great things, so I am jealous and full of resentment? !

Although I now understand the root of my resentment, I can't relieve it at all.

Su Wu looked calm, looked at Wu Daoxuan, and smiled and said: "Master Yang mentioned in his letter that Master Wu has been immersed in painting for a long time and has new insights. He wants to compete with Master Yang on this Huashan Mountain to determine who is better in the way of 'the true meaning of heaven and man'?"

Wu Daoxuan's expression became serious when he heard the voice, and he raised his head and looked at Su Wu: "I do have this intention."

"What is Master Yang's attitude towards Master Wu's invitation to compete?" Su Wu turned his head and looked at the blind Yang Huizhi.

Yang Huizhi smiled and said, "The practice of the true meaning of heaven and man cannot be done behind closed doors. You need to communicate and learn from fellow Taoists.

Since I entered the Tao, the person I respect the most is my senior brother.

Now I have the opportunity to learn from my senior brother and compete with him to determine who is better in the 'true meaning of heaven and man'. I am very happy - I also hope that this competition can help me hone myself and make further progress."

"Okay."

Su Wu nodded and said to the two old men who accepted the competition, "In this case, I will be the judge of this competition.

I am also honored and happy to be the judge in the competition between the 'Saint of Sculpture' and the 'Saint of Painting' and to read your wonderful works at the first time!"

The people gathered on the top of Huashan looked different when they heard what Su Wu said.

At this moment, Wu Daoxuan felt a bunch of eyes cast towards him. After the eyes circled around him vaguely, they slowly withdrew.

The "Sculptor Saint" mentioned by the saint refers to the sculptor Yang Huizhi.

He has saved countless lives with his many sculptures and statues, so it is more appropriate to be revered as the "Sculptor Saint". But this "Painter Saint"...

Is it because Wu Daoxuan is Yang Huizhi's senior brother that he should be called the "Painter Saint"?

Is there anything extraordinary about this "Painter Saint"?

Even though Wu Daoxuan did not catch the source of those eyes, he knew exactly what those people were thinking.

It is precisely because he knew their thoughts that he felt more resentful.

He is not inferior to Yang Huizhi!

The competition has not started yet, and the winner has not been decided, how can he look down on himself? !

The changes in attitudes of the outside world were reflected in Wu Daoxuan's mind, which could stir up waves in his mind.

He lowered his eyes and said nothing.

"It is an honor for us that the saint can be the judge.

With the saint participating in this competition, this competition can also be called a 'grand event'." At this time, Yang Huizhi slightly tilted his head, facing Wu Daoxuan's direction, and slowly said, "It's a pity that now because of the 'big event', the bad people must block the inside and outside of Huashan to prevent ordinary people from getting involved.

Otherwise, there will be countless scholars and talents gathered on Huashan to watch this competition between me and my senior brother."

In a few words, Yang Huizhi pointed out to Wu Daoxuan the root cause of the current closure of Huashan.

After a few days of contact with his senior brother, he had already discovered that he was now eccentric and extreme, and often felt aggrieved. Looking at Wu Daoxuan's expression, he knew that he might have some strange ideas because of the blockade of Huashan by the bad guys, so he said this.

These words really dispelled Wu Daoxuan's suspicion.

But he pretended not to know that his junior brother's words were meant for him. He stood aside calmly and heard Su Wu say, "It doesn't matter. Even if there are no people and talented scholars gathered on the top of Huashan Mountain to watch the two of you compete, the mountains of Huashan, the clouds, rain, wind and moon, can all serve as spectators for the two of you to compete.

What's more, there are also the mighty spirits of heaven and earth, and various ghosts and gods, who are also watching in secret.

How can a competition between the Sculpture Saint and the Painting Saint be without spectators?"

As soon as Su Wu finished speaking, Yang Huizhi stroked his beard and laughed, "The saint is right. From this point of view, our competition will not be too lonely because of the lack of spectators!"

Wu Daoxuan was also inspired by Su Wu's words.

The clouds, rain, wind and moon, the mountains, the mighty spirits of heaven and earth, ghosts and gods...are all spectators for the competition between him and Yang Huizhi - it is indeed not lonely, and I can show my talents to my heart's contention!

Tao Zu and Hong Renkun looked at each other and exchanged glances for a while.

They also knew that the so-called heavenly and earthly spirits and various ghosts and gods were not Su Wu's empty words. According to the two's calculations of their own death dates, they might be about to die when Wu Daoxuan and Yang Huizhi competed. Wouldn't all the ghosts and gods come to watch? !

"When are you going to start this competition?" Su Wu asked.

Wu Daoxuan replied indifferently: "I am ready and can start the competition at any time. I will use my pen and ink to imitate the true meaning of heaven and man."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Yang Huizhi.

Yang Huizhi looked apologetic and replied to Su Wu: "For carving, various preparations must be made and various tools must be polished. I am now old, and it takes a lot of time to make these preparations.

Therefore, I can't start this competition with you now.

I will start the competition with you one day later.

What do you think?"

As soon as Yang Huizhi finished speaking, Wu Daoxuan nodded and agreed.

At this time, Tao Zu, who was standing behind Su Wu, said to Yang Huizhi with his eyes rolling, "Old man, don't think about other things. Don't be dragged down by other things.

Whenever you want to start the competition, you can start it. Don't choose the competition date at that time just to cater to a certain date."

The "date" in Tao Zu's so-called "cater to a certain date" naturally refers to the death date of him and Hong Renkun.

He has always had a good relationship with Yang Huizhi.

Speaking at the moment, it is also to let the other party put down the burden.

Yang Huizhi heard the voice and bowed to Tao Zu, saying, "Don't worry, Immortal, I really need this day to prepare, not deliberately to cater to anything."

"That's good.

Anyway, everything is up to you." Tao Zu waved his hand and no longer expressed his opinion on this matter.

In this way, the two sides agreed to compete on the top of Huashan Mountain early tomorrow morning. Wu Daoxuan took his disciple Wang Quan to continue to visit Huashan, and Yang Huizhi also returned to his residence to continue to prepare.

The captain of the 'Jiachen' bad guys' team stationed on Huashan later reported to Su Wu the situation inside and outside Huashan, saying that there was no unusual movement on Huashan in the past few days, only the spirits of the monks in the 'Five Prisons' in Shanyin were protected by Zen Master Huizhao and left the Five Prisons.

Now only Master Jianzhen is alone in the Five Prisons.

After Su Wu learned about the situation, he instructed the captain: "Master Wu and Master Yang have agreed to compete in the 'True Meaning of Heaven and Man' tomorrow. You know what date tomorrow is.

They are already involved in the game.

Have someone take good care of them tonight and make sure that there will be no mistakes."

Tomorrow is not only the day when Master Wu and Master Yang agreed to compete, but also the death date of Tao Zu and Hong Renkun!

Tao Zu predicted that he would die tomorrow through his own practice.

But his deduction can only go so far, and he cannot accurately deduce the date of death to a certain time tomorrow - even his deduction may be a distorted secret. Even if he deduces that he will die tomorrow, this date may suddenly move backwards!

In other words, from tomorrow to the next period of time, every day, every hour, and every moment may become the date of death of Tao Zu and Hong Renkun!

"I obey your command."

The Jiachen team of the Zhengui team bowed to Su Wu and responded.

"Go and do your work."

Su Wu nodded and ordered the team to leave the room.

After the burly warrior left the room, Tao Zu, who had been sitting on the bed and resting against the wall, opened his eyes, and Hong Renkun, who was sitting in another corner, also opened his eyes at the same time.

The two of them now seemed like conjoined twins with Su Wu, and they were inseparable from each other.

The reason for this is that Su Wu stayed beside the two of them, and with his calamity practice, he could suppress the calamity of heaven and earth, so that the calamity of heaven and earth entangled with Tao Zu and Hong Renkun would not suddenly change, pushing their death to come in an instant.

Tao Zu and Hong Renkun took the initiative to die, which was much better than the fate of heaven and earth pushing them to die passively!

"The old Taoist's death is approaching..." Tao Zu smacked his lips, stretched on the wooden bed, and said to Su Wu, "Now let's hook up our calamity.

When the death comes, if we do this again, there will be many variables."

Using Su Wu's calamity shadow to pull the calamity of Tao Zu and Hong Renkun, in this way, when the death calamity comes, the person in the death calamity will not be Tao Zu and Hong Renkun, but Su Wu himself-he can "die" for the two, and replace the two people's true spirits to stay in the world!

However, Su Wu himself is also watched by many terrifying beings.

Every step he takes will bring more variables.

Now his calamity shadow is connected with the calamity of Tao Zu and the other two, which may lead to their sudden death, catching everyone off guard.

"No hurry."

Su Wu shook his head, his expression calm: "According to the prediction of the ancestor, the death will come tomorrow. If we rashly connect our calamity shadows and calamity now, it may be disadvantageous to the situation.

- In fact, the best result is that the ancestor and Brother Hong can take the initiative to die at the time we hope, and directly disrupt the death date set by the heaven for you.

The situation is uncertain now, we can strive for more."

Hearing Su Wu's words, Tao Zu came close to Su Wu, stared at him with his eyes wide open for a while-after a moment, he lowered his head in discouragement.

He could not see any vivid emotions on the other's face.

All the changes in consciousness and emotional fluctuations seemed to have disappeared from Su Wu now!

"Now you and I are involved in a calamity, although there are some risks, but it is also a preparation for the future - every time you delay, the risk of calamity will be doubled, you have to think carefully, this is walking on the edge of a knife, if you are not careful, you will be doomed!" Tao Zu threatened Su Wu, saying, "I don't understand you now, I don't know what you are thinking!"

"I know my limits."

Su Wu only said these four words and stood up.

Tao Zu grabbed his sleeve and said hurriedly: "Since we are not involved in the disaster now, why not deduce where the root cause of the 'old living person A' lies?"

Su Wu shook his head again and refused: "This will cause 'Xiang Er' to enter the game early.

Let's wait a little longer."

Tao Zu saw that Su Wu was still so stagnant, and his heart became more anxious. He couldn't help but say: "How sure are you?

We will die, and our true spirits will be gone. It's just like that - we have lived for thousands of years, and we don't care whether we can continue to live.

But you have painstakingly created this situation now, you can't destroy it in an instant?

If such a good situation is overturned in one day, I will die and die in peace!"

Listening to his words blurted out in a hurry, Su Wu finally had a little smile on his face, and said to Tao Zu: "The ancestor has always been indifferent to everything. I thought you really became an immortal and transcended the world.

Now It seems that there are still things you can't let go of - this great situation without tricks in the world, and the people of the world?"

"Why are you saying these things..." Tao Zu met Su Wu's gaze, his expression suddenly embarrassed, and loosened his hand that was pulling Su Wu's sleeve, "You are too hypocritical, and it sounds hypocritical to say things like for the sake of the people of the world.

I just want to ask you how sure you are now?"

Su Wu still did not answer Tao Zu's question directly, but only said: "Everything depends on human efforts."

He looked at Tao Zu's face that collapsed in an instant, and then smiled and said: "I want to go to the Five Prisons of Huashan to see Elder Jianzhen.

Would you two like to go with me?"

"If we stay here, can you be assured, or can we be assured?" Tao Zu glared at Su Wu, jumped off the bed, and followed Su Wu with Hong Renkun, and went out of the room together, taking the black tiger body that was guarding the yard and was wrapped in strange shadows, and went to the "Five Prisons" on the yin side of Huashan.

Su Wu actually knew exactly what Jianzhen was doing in the Five Prisons of Huashan.

However, now that Tao Zu and Hong Renkun were about to die, he really needed to meet Jianzhen to confirm many things.
