one's door

Li Yan went to Fang Shiwen several times, hoping to get help, but was directly blocked from the door, saying that he was "not available".
No... not free? !
Li Yan was dumbfounded.After inquiring about the entourage disciples arranged by Da Hongtian for Fang Shiwen, I learned that Fang Shiwen has been shutting himself out since he brought back a set of books two days ago.
What kind of book would fascinate an earthly immortal like Fang Shiwen without asking about worldly affairs?Or let him forget about the important matters of the sect?
How puzzled I was, but I didn't dare to have any dissatisfaction.At the same time, I don't believe that Fang Shiwen will really ignore the major affairs of the sect.
One is out of trust.The second is the difference in status.Although they are both elders of Haoxuemen, the status gap between Li Yan and Fang Shiwen is huge.Even counting carefully, she is several generations behind Fang Shiwen.
Fang Shiwen in the house didn't know that Li Yan came outside his house a few times, and it didn't mean that he really put aside his official duties and did not take care of his personal affairs. In the eyes of Fang Shiwen at this time, what he was doing was official business, and he was more than just coming out to find a reason to give to the cliff. Hill puts pressure on more important things.
A "Journey to the West" has nearly a million words, plus those derived miscellaneous notes, although Fang Shiwen has the ability to see ten lines, but it still took several days to study it carefully and repeatedly.
At the beginning, Fang Shiwen read this book as a glimpse into the past history of the Great Desolate World.I think that although there will inevitably be some exaggerated words in it, the general context should be credible.
As for the saying that "Journey to the West" is just a story compiled in idle time, Fang Shiwen completely scoffed at this statement.Because there are too many things in it that can be found in reality.This is true no matter the means or the division of forces.
For example, the two biggest forces in "Journey to the West", Tianting and Xitian.
Based on Fang Shiwen's knowledge, he heard the news about Xitian and Tianting early in the past.Although what Fang Shiwen knew before was very one-sided, but some of the sayings in "Journey to the West" were confirmed and came alive immediately.
And Fang Shiwen dared to say that this book seems to promote "the light of the Buddha in the Western Heaven", but it is actually mocking the "hypocrisy of the Buddha" and at the same time mocking the "weakness of the heaven".
The resulting "Journey to the West" has only one theme: to expose the truth.
This is the conclusion that Fang Shiwen came to after careful consideration many times.He even felt that it could be seen where the inheritance of the Great Desolate World in Zhang Yan's hands should come from.
First of all, exclude the forces of Xitian. After all, from the beginning to the end, it is all insinuations against Xitian, and it has never stopped.Then exclude the demon cultivator system, because the situation revealed by the demon cultivator and the cliff mountain is very different.Finally, there is the power dominated by the heavenly court.
Although "Journey to the West" also has a lot of sarcasm towards Tianting, but compared with "hating iron but not steel", it has a stronger taste.In addition, the means are close to the inheritance of the cliff mountain.So Fang Shiwen felt that the inheritance of the Great Desolate World in Zhang Yan's hands came from the Heavenly Court.
In fact, if you just read "Journey to the West", there are not many descriptions of Tianting, and it is very sloppy.But some of the things mentioned made it seem that Heavenly Court is not as simple as described in words.
For example, hundreds of thousands of heavenly soldiers.Another example is holding the treasure of heaven and earth like "Peach Garden".There is also the authority to control the arbitration of the Three Realms.Which of these things is so simple, if it is as weak as the book says, it will be overturned long ago.
Later, Fang Shiwen discovered more clues when he watched it together with the miscellaneous notes derived from "Journey to the West".It also reveals an extremely obscure struggle for world control hidden in "Journey to the West".
"call……"
Fang Shiwen put down the last miscellaneous journal in his hand, and let out a long breath.The expression on his face was cloudy and uncertain.Finally, it took a long time to call in the disciples who were waiting outside the door.
"You go to Master Zhang and tell him that I have something I want to talk to him about now."
The accompanying disciple, Ying Shi, trotted quickly to find Liu Rui, who was meeting them visitors from outside the region, and told Fang Shiwen's request.Then Liu Rui went to Dengyun Hall to report.
After a stick of incense, although it was already night, Fang Shiwen still saw Zhang Yan on the back terrace of Dengyun Hall.And there was no one else around, just the two of them.In front of him was a small table with two jugs of wine and three dishes of side dishes.
"Elder Fang must not dislike some wild game and rough vegetables in the mountains."
"Master Zhang is being polite. It's really wrong to disturb you late at night, but I'm too suspicious, so I can only be presumptuous knowing that I shouldn't." Fang Shiwen picked up the wine glass on the table to toast, and then drank it all .
Zhang Yan also had a drink with him, filled the cup for the other party, and then asked with a smile: "Elder Fang has any doubts, you can speak up, and Zhang Yan will try his best to answer."
"Recently, Master Zhang must also know that I am reading Guizong's "Journey to the West" and related miscellaneous notes. I am deeply touched. I am also shocked by the grand background of the story. So I want to know what Master Zhang thinks about these... well, stories What is your evaluation?"
"Evaluation? Journey to the West?"
"Correct."
Seeing Fang Shiwen's serious expression, Zhang Yan inexplicably felt absurd.Of course he knew Fang Shiwen's latest every move.But as far as Zhang Yan knows about "Journey to the West", it has the author's roots.Although the contents are almost all based on some things from the legendary era of the earth, how true the outline of the story is remains to be seen.At least Zhang Yan does not dare to view "Journey to the West" as a pure story, nor as a pure historical fact.
But this powerful Earth Immortal in front of Dahongtian seems to be completely serious? !
After considering his words, Zhang Yan also put away the smile on his face, and said seriously: "Elder Fang, "Journey to the West" was originally written in words, and a hundred people will understand it when they see the words. So my evaluation is not important , the important thing is that the person who reads it can get some insights from it."
Chapter 631 Wanted
Fang Shiwen raised his brows, he was quite surprised to hear Zhang Yan's answer, and then asked: "So Master Zhang is throwing out the light and dark narration in "Journey to the West", but let the disciples understand it by themselves? What if? What should they do if there is a deviation in their comprehension? For example, they pursue the Buddha's light and despise the law of heaven?"
They are all talking about "stories", but Fang Shiwen's words have nothing to do with the "story".
Moreover, Fang Shiwen was not worried at all whether Zhang Yan could understand or not. In his opinion, the so-called "Journey to the West" must be a warning work inherited from the Great Desolate World, but it was disguised by Zhang Yan and presented as a "story". Showing people, avoiding the embarrassing problem that the prehistoric world has disappeared from its heyday to now.
But Fang Shiwen didn't care, he was sure that he knew the little trick of Duanyashan.The Great Desolate World has long since disappeared.He understood what Cliff Mountain did, but he couldn't really listen to it as a story.Otherwise, wouldn't it seem that Da Hongtian is too closed-minded to even guess these things?
Zhang Yan leaned back on the chair back with complicated eyes.
"It seems that Elder Fang hasn't read "Journey to the West" thoroughly enough. It doesn't matter whether it is the Heavenly Court or the Western Paradise. It is all in the book, so what has it to do with reality? It is difficult to save the world by being alone. Even Sun Dasheng can only roll around and be trapped in Leiyin.
With such an ending and such a style, how could the disciples of Duanya Mountain yearn for it?It's just summing up the gloom and hardships, keeping them in mind, and warning ahead. "
Fang Shiwen's questions are all based on the fact that "Journey to the West" was first taken out by Zhang Yan as a "leisure and amusing" story to coax his apprentices.Although with the improvement of practice, the things in "Journey to the West" are no longer as "false" as they were at the beginning, but instead become "realistic".But Fang Shiwen's understanding still caught Zhang Yan by surprise.
But apart from Zhang Yan's own understanding of "Journey to the West", he didn't know much about the various versions he had heard.It is more than enough to deal with Fang Shiwen.
It's just that Zhang Yan needs a way of thinking that can answer Fang Shiwen's words.
Heavenly Court and Xitian, in "Journey to the West", are actually the references of the two major powers.The former is an "institution" launched by Taoism to manage the Three Realms.The latter represents Buddhism and is the headquarters of the latter.
But in Zhang Yan's understanding, the Heavenly Court is an institution introduced by Taoism to rule the Three Realms on its behalf.But it does not represent the whole of Taoism, and can only be regarded as the tip of the iceberg of Taoism.
Watching "Journey to the West", for students with little experience, what they see is the fantasy and fun of Sun Dasheng's rebelliousness and ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties, and what they appreciate is the moving of mountains and seas and the hardships and dangers of the road in practice.
And after a little bit of experience, what you see in "Journey to the West" is the game and innuendo in it.Understand that the world is not black and white, let alone good and evil at a glance.
In the future, when you have made some achievements in your own Taoism and cultivation, you will look back and watch "Journey to the West", and you will find, oh, it turned out to be just a cutscene for the world to see.All the participants inside are like fighting dogs in the arena, biting or running, they can't help themselves, they are just tools for the game between the two sides watching coldly from the outside.
Zhang Yan practiced Taoism, so he was not interested in Buddhism.He didn't even get to know it carefully.Anyway, I don't know how to go that way, so what's the point of understanding it?
So when Fang Shiwen stood on a question based entirely on "Journey to the West", he didn't stand on either side of Tianting or Xitian.
Faced with Zhang Yan's answer, Fang Shiwen froze for a moment.Then he asked curiously: "So Master Zhang thinks that Tianting and Xitian are not worth mentioning?"
"Elder Fang, why is practice so good or bad? Learn from it, use the good ones, and throw away the bad ones. You have to piece together a path that suits you. Otherwise, you will be forced to follow the old path of others. It’s not suitable for me. Over time, my obsession suddenly arises. How can I resist the invasion of Heavenly Tribulation? Not to mention resisting demons from outside the territory to maintain my Dao Heart.”
Fang Shiwen understood this time.So he said with a smile: "It turns out that Master Zhang's inheritance is to take the essence of heaven and the west and discard the dross? Is it a new way of gathering the strengths of all the families?"
Zhang Yan didn't answer questions honestly this time.Instead, he asked: "Didn't Haoxuemen's cultivation methods be based on the strengths of other families?"
Fang Shiwen laughed and did not continue this topic.Because he felt he had got the answer he wanted.That is, what is the origin of the inheritance in Zhang Yan's hands in the Great Desolate World.
After that, Fang Shiwen moved the topic from "Journey to the West" to the business negotiations that have been stalemate in the past few days.Although he ignored Li Yan's request for a meeting, Fang Shiwen also knew about the difficulties encountered in the following negotiations.He understood that the solution actually depended on the attitudes of himself and Zhang Yan.
"I heard that Li Yan said that there have been many differences in business affairs recently, mainly focusing on the laying of business routes and the issue of maintaining an intermediate token. Generally speaking, the meaning of the noble family is still not in favor of free trade, but tends to be more in control.
Master Zhang, to be honest, we all understand your concern, but from now on, we will be in the same alliance and belong to our own people. It is not appropriate to be so cautious. It is easier to create barriers for ourselves and add obstacles, which will affect the future It is a very bad hindrance to the evolution of..."
Fang Shiwen's remarks gave Zhang Yan a feeling of deja vu.
But let him talk sweetly, just focus on the benefits he can get and the price he will pay.If you believe in the cakes drawn by others, then all the pickles in your hands will be taken away.
"Elder Fang, the freedom we understand is freedom based on the fact that there is no impact on Huang Tianyu. If you don't do anything and don't care, Huang Tianyu will be overwhelmed by the impact of goods and trade from more than ten worlds at the same time. Destruction Not to mention the resource transfer system of Huangtianyu itself, it will also cause the worlds of the alliance to not enjoy the same high-quality treatment in Huangtianyu. Isn't this a big problem?
In fact, I don’t think it’s necessary to be so serious about the opinions I’ve been entangled with these days.Besides, just because it was done like that in the past doesn't mean it's the best and most suitable.Huangtianyu is a new member of the alliance, and it is timely to try a new method. It is just to designate a special place for business and trade, and then decide to kill an intermediate token. Doesn't this mean that it is not "free"? "
"Hehe, what Zhang Clan Master said is exactly the same as that of your sect's disciples. Let's talk about it openly. If you really do what Zhang Clan Master does, it will be difficult for Da Hongtian to explain to the remaining allies."
"Confession? Elder Fang was joking, Da Hongtian doesn't need to explain to anyone at all. Because Huang Tianyu deserves this preferential treatment. Isn't it?"
Chapter 632
After Zhang Yan finished the last sentence, he looked at Fang Shiwen who was holding a glass of wine with a half-smile.
After a while, Fang Shiwen laughed and drank the wine in his hand.There is also a smile on his face.From what he heard, what he just said was Zhang Yan's showdown with him.
We all need less cutscenes and more frankness.In this way, there will be less misunderstandings and less time wasted.
Straightforward and simple.
This saves effort.But the face is not so good.After all, this is equivalent to putting Da Hongtian's "eating more and taking more" face directly on the bright side.Rao is Fang Shiwen who is well-informed and knowledgeable, so he can't help but feel a little angry at this time.
"Oh? Clan Master Zhang thinks that Huangtianyu is really special?"
"I think Elder Fang knows the specialness of the Huangtian Territory best. What other worlds can give Da Hongtian is only a few resources and clumsy labor. Can it be compared with the Huangtian Territory? Special places should naturally receive special treatment , is that right?
What's more, now that Elder Fang and I are talking behind closed doors, Yu Dahongtian's face will not be damaged.Why should the elders care about those meaningless considerations?On the contrary, it hinders the "fairness" in front of you, right? "
After being silent for a while, Fang Shiwen said in a deep voice: "Special doesn't mean it must be valuable. What does Clan Master Zhang think is the value of Huang Tianyu to Da Hongtian?"
While acknowledging the uniqueness of Huang Tianyu, it also further named it.Just ask, what benefits can the special Huangtian Territory bring to Da Hongtian.If it can't bring benefits, it doesn't make any sense to be special, let alone preferential treatment.
In other words, Fang Shiwen was forcing Zhang Yan to express his opinion directly.
This is actually a way of exerting pressure.It's just that the pressure to exert is not from Fang Shiwen himself, but from the huge Dahongtian.
Facing Fang Shiwen, Zhang Yan might be able to rely on his current cultivation in the late stage of the Immortal Realm and the strength gain brought about by the newly obtained Primordial Purple Qi to resist.But if facing the whole Dahongtian, Zhang Yan knew that he was still too far behind.
In the face of hungry wolves, one must kill them with an axe, or be willing to cut their flesh.
"Fair. Elder Fang, if there is no fairness, wouldn't the cliff mountain become a lamb to be slaughtered? If that is the case, instead of being eaten away, it would be better to overturn the table and finish it all. Others who will be cheap for nothing. Isn’t Da Hongtian not clear about this truth?”
The pressure is overwhelming.But Zhang Yan also understands that this kind of pressure is also elastic, instead of collapsing like a wall, it is like an ocean wave, beating one after another.How much interest you can keep depends on your tenacity in the face of these waves and your prediction of your own value.
If you are too weak, you will be swallowed alive as Zhang Yan said.And if it is too tough, it may break through the other party's tolerance limit, resulting in a dilemma.
So size matters.Although aggrieved, it is something that a newcomer in the void world must face.
Zhang Yan's confidence is not his blind self-confidence.It came from Da Hongtian's previous series of reactions.
First of all, Da Hongtian fed the half-dead world to the Huangtian Territory to swallow it up, speeding up the evolution of the Huangtian Territory.It's definitely a great investment.If you think about it with your toes, you can imagine that the kind of critically evolved and complete waste world must be extremely rare. Not only does it require strength to snatch food from the Chaos faction, but also luck at the right time.Under the superposition of the two, it is estimated that there is no probability of one in a hundred.
With such a large investment, if it doesn't work, are you really going to die?Zhang Yan didn't think Dahongtian's people would be so ruthless.
Secondly, after the completion of the evolution of the Huangtian Territory, the people from the Chaos faction broke in together with the people from Dahongtian.Without knowing the methods of Zhang Yan on Huang Tianyu's side, Da Hongtian's people's first decision was not to fight with the Chaos faction, but to take Zhang Yan away. All the resources in the newly born world of Huangtianyu are not as good as Zhang Yan.
To be precise, it should be the practice inheritance in Zhang Yan's mind.
Combining these two points, Da Hongtian's goal and the cost of it are very clear.
Moreover, after spending such a large amount of money and waiting until the complete evolution of the Huangtianyu, they did not use strong ones as soon as they came up, let alone choose to force them.In addition to the theoretical possibility of "Da Hongtian has always been kind", the biggest reason should be "worried that the egg will fly away".
"Oh? Sect Master Zhang is so confident that he can stop Da Hongtian's actions? You must know that although this Desolate Sky Territory was created by Sect Master Zhang as the 'Own Realm', it is not a real iron barrel..."
Before Fang Shiwen finished speaking, Zhang Yan waved his hand and interrupted: "I admit that Da Hongtian is powerful. But it is impossible for Da Hongtian to control my Duanyashan. The ability to flip the table.
Again.To be fair, everything is easy to say.If the Cliff Mountain was being treated like a fool, there would be no point in talking about it. "
Fang Shiwen suddenly felt a breath in his chest, and seeing Zhang Yan who was close in front of him without saying a word, a chilly breath radiated from Fang Shiwen's body.At this time, he didn't want to put pressure or something, but simply wanted to teach Zhang Yan, who "doesn't know how to flatter", a lesson.
And Zhang Yan dared to take such a tough attitude in front of an Earth Immortal opposite, of course it was impossible to rely solely on his inferences.The most fundamental thing is to fall into the strength in his hands.
You are as weak as a little chick, what qualifications do you have to talk about "turning the table" with the other party?
But it was not enough to tear his face, so Fang Shiwen didn't reach out directly, but continued to attack Zhang Yan with his "secret hand".
It is different from before in Dengyun Hall.This time, Fang Shiwen didn't have much scruples, as soon as the method was deployed, it was Haoxuemen's best ice rule.In an instant, the entire terrace of the main hall where he and Zhang Yan were located was covered with an inch-thick layer of ice crystals.
And the focus of this cold attack was on Zhang Yan, not the surrounding environment.
But these ice-cold rules can't do anything to Zhang Yan, he even maintained the previous action, holding the wine glass and slowly sipping wine one sip at a time.If you look carefully, you will find that there seems to be an invisible force a few inches around Zhang Yan's body that isolates him from the ice rules around him.
Naturally, Fang Shiwen discovered Zhang Yan's strange methods at the first time, and at the same time he also targetedly increased the strength of the ice rules, but he still couldn't break through the seemingly thin layer around the other party's body.
Fang Shiwen was surprised by this situation.Because Fang Shiwen used the ultimate ice rule, which was uniquely condensed by Haoxuemen in Dahongtian, and it was not in the category of evolution rules in the general world.So you can largely ignore the constraints of "this world".
But now it seems that the other party still has a way to resist, and it looks like it can handle it with ease?
Chapter 633 Understanding
Zhang Yan's heart was not as easy as Fang Shiwen thought, and he was secretly sweating.He didn't expect that Haoxuemen's unique power of ice rules would be so weird. Although it was also constrained by his "harmony" means, it still couldn't achieve real change or manipulation.
The feeling of the ice is more aggressive, even a simple space barrier is difficult to resist, it will tear and spread the power of the ice.
So Zhang Yan could only tie together the "silk threads" of the power of rules, quickly weave a membrane net for himself, and use the interaction of more than a dozen kinds of power of rules to match Fang Shiwen's ice rules. The power to block.
So it seemed that the old god Zhang Yan was holding the wine glass and sipping wine in small sips, resisting it easily, but in fact, there were already many confrontations between the lightning and flint, and it was not easy at all.
"Is this the confidence of Master Zhang?" Fang Shiwen had a complicated expression on his face, with some expectation in his surprise.The more difficult Zhang Yan is to deal with, the stronger the inheritance in his hands.In other words, it will be more profitable for Da Hongtian.
Zhang Yan shook his head, did not answer Fang Shiwen's words, but continued the previous topic, saying: "Just like the "Journey to the West" we talked about before, the ending of Sun Dasheng in it is not accepted by Duanyashan, let alone being pitiful as a mermaid. Worm? Elder Fang, Da Hongtian's wish is not to force it, and it will not succeed. If it is a fair exchange, Duan Yashan will never let you down.
Therefore, it is completely unnecessary to care about everything and always want to eat it dry. "
When Zhang Yan said this, he took the opportunity to arrange a three-layer net of rule power around Fang Shiwen, and the Wanxiang Pearl in his hand became a golden rope wrapped around his wrist.I am ready to respond as soon as Fang Shiwen rips his face and makes trouble.
However, Fang Shiwen didn't really tear up his face, but took back all the power of ice rules that he had spread out.He picked up the wine glass on the table again and raised it to signal Zhang Yan to go.
"Master Zhang, what Dahongtian is asking for is the secret method of inheritance that you got from the great world in your hand. Since Master Zhang knows it well, he can open the sky and speak frankly. Dahongtian can give you the preferential treatment you want, but How can Clan Master Zhang fulfill what Da Hongtian asked for? What is the so-called fairness?"
Fang Shiwen's idea is also simple, since he said it, there is no need to hide it anymore.
