Chapter 654: The Worry of Huai Bi
Worry is inevitable, but the things have been sent and the people have left. What should I do?
Looking back now, the reason why these gift-givers come and go is because they are worried that they will refuse after they react. As long as they leave the things behind, they will be considered as owed this favor.
This matter is quite difficult, and if it is not handled well, it will cause endless troubles. Wu Zhongyuan himself was not sure of his own decision and could only convene six ministries for meetings, and not go to Zhongtian Palace, but hold an on-site meeting outside the south gate.
There are two topics at the meeting, one is how to deal with these things, and the other is how to eliminate the large-scale killing of aliens born with inner alchemy caused by the birth of Hunyuan Ding.
The tricky problem is not that it is not difficult to hold a meeting. The gift giver has left and the things have not returned yet. He can't be thrown here. He can only move it into the city for temporary storage. The salamander gift list with dragon beards is written on it. This thing is called Xuanhuang Cunlong. It is a rare cave creature. It is said to be a great tonic. However, Wu Zhongyuan was not interested in this strange thing, so he gave it to the people below to take care of and feed it.
These gift-giving people will come back sooner or later, and they will return the things when they come back.
But the things sent by the old man with yellow face and the old woman with white face cannot be returned. The lion dragon rake is a spiritual divine weapon and must be kept. The inner elixir of the fire lizard in the small pocket is a poison-proof object. The wizards and warriors under their command may be used, and they cannot be returned.
The second question is even more difficult. How to eliminate and avoid the possible large-scale killings that may arise in the future. This is an inevitable problem. The biggest feature of Hunyuan Ding is that it can balance the Yin and Yang and Five Elements. No matter what kind of animal inner elixir, it can be converted into Qi-enhancing pills, which will cause all people who want to borrow the Hunyuan Ding to melt the pills and collect various materials for alchemy.
Anyone who wants to borrow the Hunyuan Ding is a person or an alien with profound cultivation. Once these people start killing, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Wu Zhongyuan was worried about how to get along with the beast race. If he allowed these people to kill wildly, he wouldn't have to think about how to get along with the beast race, and he would just force the beast race to the opposite side.
Everyone expressed their opinions on this difficult issue and discussed it. Someone proposed to issue an edict to inform the world that Hunyuan Ding is not borrowed. This is a way to remove firewood from the bottom of a pot. As long as the Hunyuan Ding is not borrowed from the outside, those people will uselessness for animals.
Some people have raised objections. This method seems to be cutting off the firewood from the bottom of the pot, but in fact it has great disadvantages. It is equivalent to blocking the retreat of those who want to borrow the alchemy tripod. If they are not allowed to borrow, they may steal, or arrest hostages and coerce exchange.
As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves thinking about it. If this happens, how can you deal with it?
Most of the people who want to borrow the Hunyuan Cauldron are for the cultivation of the Three Spirits. To put it bluntly, they are for the immortals. The various wonders of the Three Spirits Cultivation are second. The most important thing is that these people’s life span is about to end. As long as they advance to the Three Spirits Cultivation, they can live forever, which is related to life and death. These people can do everything.
Later, someone put forward a more modest opinion, which could issue a warning that anyone who tries to temper elixirs with alien inner alchemy would not borrow the Hunyuan Ding.
As soon as this statement was made, it immediately aroused opposition. What does this mean? Those who use alien internal alchemy to temper elixir to lent them with elixir and immortal herbs? What will it become, a charity?
Furthermore, if you want to explain this imperial edict, how will the people below interpret it? Hunting has been the main means of making a living for thousands of years. Why did you suddenly be so kind to animals? Are you afraid of the beasts?
He could not think of a feasible solution for a while, so he could only put it aside and move the things back to the city first. The old blind man set another rule that all those who come to ask for a meeting will be received by the Ministry of Rites first, and then make a decision after confirming the intention. Try not to let them see Wu Zhongyuan.
When he returned to the city, Wu Zhongyuan did not return to the harem, but went to Zhongtian Hall to summon the old blind man first. When the on-site meeting was held just now, the old blind man did not express his opinion. He wanted to hear what the old blind man thinks about this matter.
The old blind man still did not express his opinion, but said that he had not yet figured out the key points of the Hunyuan Ding to refine the alchemy. He then made a decision after finding out the usage of the Hunyuan Ding and the specific situation of smelting the elixir.
The old blind man never expressed his opinion, and Wu Zhongyuan guessed his attitude. When encountering things that disagree with him, the old blind man usually keeps his mouth shut and does not support him, but he will not contradict or oppose him.
"What did sir think, but it's okay to say it." Wu Zhongyuan said.
"What I think doesn't matter, what matters is what the emperor thinks." said the old blind man.
"I don't understand what sir means." Wu Zhongyuan said.
"The Lord wants to be a benevolent lord, or a holy master?" asked the old blind man.
"Is there any difference between the two?" Wu Zhongyuan asked back.
"Yes," the old blind man nodded slowly, "The benevolent lord is kind and broad-minded, and the holy lord is decisive in killing."
Wu Zhongyuan didn't quite understand the meaning of the old blind man, "Sir, our relationship is different from others. Just say anything if you have anything."
Hearing Wu Zhongyuan's words, the old blind man felt a little relaxed, but he still did not express his thoughts, but asked again, "The emperor does not want to see the killings born from the Hunyuan Cauldron. Is it because of the beast tribe or is it because of the beasts?"
"There are both." Wu Zhongyuan said the truth.
"How many% each account?" the old blind man asked.
Wu Zhongyuan pondered and said, "Sanqi."
"The war that happened not long ago on the coast of the East China Sea. How many warriors did we kill?" the old blind man asked in a deep voice.
"Twelve people in the bear clan, forty-two people in the cattle clan, and thirty-eight people in the bird clan." Wu Zhongyuan said.
The old blind man didn't say anything anymore because he knew that Wu Zhongyuan already understood what he wanted to express.
Wu Zhongyuan clearly understood the meaning of the old blind man. The old blind man reminded him that the serious situation he was facing at present should be the top priority for improving his own strength and that no woman's kindness should be a woman's kindness.
The old blind man didn't speak, and Wu Zhongyuan didn't speak, and the Zhongtian Palace was silent.
Wu Zhongyuan has been silent, which means he is thinking and deliberating, and he has been unable to make up his mind for a long time.
After a while, the old blind man said again, "This Hunyuan Cauldron is nothing but a hot potato for Renjun, but it is an invincible magic weapon for the Holy Lord. It can not only temper elixirs to strengthen itself, but also provide kindness and help to make friends. As long as you seek the Lord and the Lord will send them, they will definitely follow them. Even if you want to borrow the Dan Cauldron, how can you come empty-handed and without any thank you?"
Wu Zhongyuan coughed dryly and cleared his throat. His dry cough only made the old blind man know that he had heard clearly, but he was not ready to speak. The old blind man said very clearly. The Hunyuan Ding can not only temper elixirs to quickly improve his own strength, but also use it to make friends. Those who want to borrow Hunyuan Ding are all people or aliens with advanced cultivation. No one will let him help in vain. If he wants to borrow Hunyuan Ding, he will give him a lot of thank-you gifts. In this way, he doesn't have to run around to search. As long as he sits at home, he can have a large amount of alchemy materials delivered to his door.
"Sir, go back and rest first, let me think about it." Wu Zhongyuan stood up and gave it to him.
After seeing off the old blind man, Wu Zhongyuan sent someone to call Wu Di over to ask her for her opinion on this matter.
Although Wu Di is a woman, she is very smart. Smart people can not only accurately analyze the pros and cons, but also carefully guess the ideas of others. Previously, Wu Di and the old blind man tried to anger Jiang Zheng and Li Tai without telling Wu Zhongyuan, which led to Jiang Zheng and Li Tai's attack on Wu Zhongyuan. This matter was later seen through by Wu Zhongyuan. Long Yan was furious and furious. With the lessons of the past, she didn't dare to say what Wu Zhongyuan might not want to listen.
Although Wu Di has never made a clear statement, the attitude expressed in his words still tends to use the Hunyuan Ding to improve his own strength. It is impossible to directly or indirectly cause a large number of deaths from aliens. It is not because of their hands. There is no need to feel too guilty. You must know that this is a martial era. Whoever has a high cultivation level and who has a greater power is the right one.
Wu Di's attitude was also expected by Wu Zhongyuan. Wu Di's personality was somewhat similar to that of Lu Zhi in later generations. He was very smart and decisive, but he was not Liu Bang, and he could suppress Wu Di.
Wu Di is followed by Jiang Nan, who is a member of the Niu tribe. He is more familiar with elixirs. He came to Jiang Nan to come over to determine some technical aspects, such as how many spiritual objects and inner elixirs are needed to melt a Tailing Qi-replenishing pill. However, it is difficult to have an accurate answer to such questions. It not only depends on the quantity of alchemy materials, but also on the quality. You must know that the spiritual energy contained in the inner elixirs of different species of animals are different. Moreover, Jiang Nan does not know about the Hunyuan Ding and has never tempered elixirs above Taixuan before. When facing Wu Zhongyuan's inquiry, he could not even give a general reference.
Another question Wu Zhongyuan asked for is which one contains more spiritual energy than alien inner alchemy. This question itself has a big problem. However, although he asked a question, Jiang Nan's answer was not a question. In nature, rare spiritual objects and aliens with Taoist practices are often accompanied by each other. In other words, there is often a beast guarding each other around each rare spiritual object. Compared with rare spiritual objects, the inner alchemy of the beasts guarding it usually contains less spiritual energy than rare spiritual objects.
The speaker is unintentional, and the listener is intentional. Jiangnan's words reminded Wu Zhongyuan. He had just thought about using plant alchemy materials, but he ignored the fact that there are often aliens around the spiritual objects. In this way, even if he wanted to obtain plant alchemy materials, he would not be able to fight with aliens.
To be fair, he is not a corrupt person who swept the floor without hurting the lives of ants and cherishes moths and gauzes to light the lamp. However, when the other party has never provoked him, he is not willing to take the initiative to attack and hurt the other party.
In Jiang Nan's opinion, it was normal to search for spiritual objects and temper elixirs, and she didn't feel anything wrong. In her opinion, getting the Hunyuan Ding was a great joy, and she didn't understand why Wu Zhongyuan was worried instead.
After Jiang Nan left, Wu Zhongyuan sent someone to invite Wang Xinran. He could not regard Jiang Nan as stupid just because he didn't understand his ideas. The environments they grew up in are different, and in the final analysis, they are different ideologies.
When Wang Xinran arrived, Wu Zhongyuan was holding his forehead with one hand and closing his eyes, worried. Wang Xinran even gave him a symbolic salute in places where there were people. When there was no one, he was not even symbolic. He dragged his chair to Wu Zhongyuan and sat down, "What are you doing, you are sad."
"Worry." Wu Zhongyuan sighed.
"I don't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me?" Wang Xinran asked casually.
"Yes," Wu Zhongyuan raised his hand and pointed at the Hunyuan tripod outside the hall. "As soon as this thing was born, those innocent creatures were considered unlucky. Even if I didn't kill them, others would kill them."
"Before you dug it out, you should have thought that this result would happen." Wang Xinran pulled out a cigarette from her bun, took out a lighter from her waist, lit the cigarette and sucked the clouds and mist.
"I didn't expect the situation to get out of control at that time." Wu Zhongyuan said.
"You didn't expect it," Wang Xinran didn't want to be with him. "You are so meticulous, how could you not expect it? You thought it, but there is no way. If you don't dig out this cauldron to refine elixirs, the group of people you brought can't beat those monsters and monsters at all."
Sometimes it is not a bad thing to be poured into cold water by someone. As Wang Xinran said, he did think of this situation before digging out the Hunyuan Ding.
Wang Xinran said again, "Don't worry about it. If you don't refine elixirs, you can't beat others. As long as you refine elixirs, there will be robbery and killing. You have nothing wrong. No one can have any moral flaws in his life, and there is no need to regard himself as a saint."
After hearing Wang Xinran's words, Wu Zhongyuan felt much more comfortable in the heart of his heart. He stood up and left his seat, "Let's go, go out with me."
"Where to go?" Wang Xinran asked casually.
