Chapter 97: The Inside Story of the Crusade
"Don't be happy," he smiled and shook his head. "This matter has not been settled yet. We will not make the final decision until the master recovers from his injuries."
"Then, how did you know about this?"
"It was the head of the head who told me that he was also inquiring from the master."
"Oh, that's it," I sat in the chair and pondered, "The Lord's injuries have not recovered yet?"
The master was killed by the will of heaven. This injury was nothing to the monk. It was supposed to have recovered long ago.
"It's not that simple. The God-willed entity took action and drove the power of the entire earth, not only the ghost world, but also part of the power of the human world. The master's right arm will probably not be restored after a while. Only the master knows the specific situation."
"How can the will of the ghost world mobilize the power of the human world?" I asked in confusion.
"The will of the human and ghost realms is not an absolutely independent whole. Usually, they each manage the human and ghost realms, and when they face common enemies, they will unite."
Uncle Xu smacked his lips. After a pause, he continued, "The relationship between the two wills of heaven and the relationship between human and ghost worlds is similar. It is independent and has a connection."
"But the will of the human world did not take action at that time."
"I didn't take action at that time. That's because it was not time to take action. If the dominant power was stronger and could threaten the will of the ghost world, the will of the human world would take action."
"Hiss," I took a breath. "What will happen if the two wills join forces to fight the master?"
"I can only say that the master will die. The earth is not as simple as it seems. Although it is just a planet, it has endless mysteries. The will of heaven that was born is also extremely terrifying."
"What's the point?" I became interested, and it seemed that Uncle Xu knew a lot.
"How did I know?" Uncle Xu smiled.
After talking about the affairs of the Lord and God's will, Uncle Xu and I did not continue to speak. We each thought about it in our hearts and fell into silence.
What I was thinking about is that Uncle Xu was in charge of the underworld. Although he could hold supreme power, it was too dangerous.
In the past, when the ten halls coexisted, the ten halls were restraining each other and supporting each other. The hall masters did not allow other halls to be destroyed by civil forces.
In addition, there are ten hall masters in the ten halls, which can disperse the enemy's energy and create a relatively stable living environment for all the ten hall masters.
But if Uncle Xu controls the underworld, he will be the only one and the danger he faces is unprecedentedly huge.
All hostile forces and people with ill-hearted intentions can directly target Uncle Xu, unlike before, where the murderous intentions will be divided equally by the Ten Palaces.
"Uncle Xu, do you really want to take charge of the underworld?" After silence, I couldn't help looking at him.
"What do you think?" Uncle Xu refused to comment.
"Isn't there a saying that goes. The closer you are to the peak of power, the closer you are to death. I forgot what it was, it means that anyway."
"Are you cursing me?"
"No, I just talk and play."
"Don't worry," Uncle Xu restrained his smile. "I'm not that stupid. Both the underworld and the ghost world are dominant. I can't be this pioneer. I have my own calculations."
“That’s good.”
I felt relieved after hearing Uncle Xu say this. In fact, I have always been worried that Uncle Xu will be blinded by power.
Although I know Uncle Xu's character, it is really hard to say that power is a thing. In history, countless wise rulers have been destroyed by power.
"That's good, then I won't disturb you anymore. You have a good rest. After fighting for so long, you will definitely be physically and mentally exhausted." I nodded my head, got up and was about to leave.
"Wait," Uncle Xu called me, "The most important thing has not been said yet. Are you leaving now? Are you sure you want to leave? Will you regret it?"
"oh?"
I narrowed my eyes and sat down again, "What is the important thing?"
Nothing for anything else, just for my gossip, I have to listen to Uncle Xu.
"Peng."
Uncle Xu looked at the hall door. The hall door made of special metal closed, completely isolated the main hall.
"I know you are very curious about the siege war launched by Wu Tian. Then I tell you that everything was planned by Wu Tian and I. This war was the plan of both of us. It's just that he is the main force, and I am secretly assisting him."
After confirming that the interior of the main hall was isolated, Uncle Xu said to me solemnly.
"What!" I was shocked. Although I had such a guess before, I was still shocked.
"It's true. We each take what we need. I want to deal with the ten palaces. He wants the underworld and the ghost world." Uncle Xu continued.
"I provided him with internal information on the Tenth Halls. I knew that most of the foundations of the Tenth Halls would not be born, so I told Wutian the news. Only then could he successfully conquer the Tenth Halls."
"But it's wrong, your interests are in conflict. Won't you conquer your interests by conquering the underworld?" I asked with my lips pursed.
"When I talked to Wutian, as long as he could destroy the Ten Palaces, the Underworld would belong to him. I want the foundation and treasury of the Ten Palaces, and then take my own troops out of the Netherworld and go to other states to develop."
"It's still wrong, are you really willing to do that?" Based on my understanding of Uncle Xu, this is not his style.
"Of course I won't do that. I know he will lose, so I said that." Uncle Xu chuckled, no one knew what he was thinking.
"What does it mean?" I frowned.
"Master, I know that the Master will definitely take action, it's just a matter of time. The fundamental purpose of my alliance with Wutian is to test the Master, to see how much he monitors the underworld, to see when he will take action, and to see how strongly he is bound by the will of heaven."
"Once the master takes action, Wu Tian will be defeated. His army retreats. I will be able to take over the underworld naturally."
"Hiss," Uncle Xu was interrupted by me before he finished speaking, "But what if the master took action too late? At that time, you will withdraw from the underworld. Wu Tian will control the underworld. Wouldn't you be wrong if you happen to such a situation?"
"If the master takes action too late, it will actually bring me the greatest benefits. In that case, I will withdraw from the underworld with the foundation of the Ten Palaces. With all my strength, I will definitely control one of the eight states."
"At this time, the master took action, killed Wu Tian, pulled out his foundation, and the underworld was in a state of masterlessness again. Who do you think will take over the underworld at this time?"
Uncle Xu looked at me lightly.
"You." My pupils tightened.
Yes, if that is the case, Uncle Xu will take over the underworld again, and he will also control the territory of a state.
If there is a master who kills Wutian and establishes his authority, even if Uncle Xu evacuates that state, other forces in the state dare not act indiscriminately.
Then, Uncle Xu could naturally incorporate that state into the underworld, expand the territory of the underworld, and gain the trust of the master.
No matter which possibility is, Uncle Xu is a profiter, and he only wins and does not lose money in this deal.
"Wuyuan, what a pity." Uncle Xu let out a long breath of turbid air.
"Ah?" I was really confused. The amount of information was too large and too confusing. I couldn't organize it, and I couldn't react, and I couldn't keep up with Uncle Xu's thinking.
"He was too impatient and too aggressive, otherwise he would not have ended up like this." Uncle Xu sighed long.
"ah?"
"Wutian is a relatively steady person. I guess he attacked the underworld to control the lifeline of the qi and lifeline of the ghost world, and wanted to use the lifeline of the qi and lifeline to rinse away the curse in his body."
"What curse?" I asked subconsciously.
"The curse of Muyang Tianzun is the curse in the inheritance of the Heavenly Lord. The descendants must work hard for the resurrection of Muyang Tianzun in the future. They must dedicate their body to Muyang Tianzun and become the furnace of Muyang Tianzun?"
"Can the energy craze wash away the curse? That's the curse of the Heavenly Lord." I opened my mouth wide in surprise.
"The ordinary number of qi is not good, but the lifeline of the Ghost World is good. After controlling the underworld, you can order the number of qi in all cities in the Ghost World to supply air. Then use all the number of qi to wash away the curse and finally return the number of qi."
"If this is the case, many things will be explained." I nodded with clarity.
"Although his ending was a terrible one, he succeeded, and you gave him a turnaround."
"Are you talking about the sarcophagus?" I looked at Uncle Xu strangely.
Wutian was kept warm in the sarcophagus by me. I did not hide it from Uncle Xu, and I told him before.
"Yes, he died completely, with only a wisp of residual soul left. After he died for so long, he had not recovered yet, so the curse was naturally lifted."
The curse has a strong adhesion. It will still pester the monk for a period of time after the monk dies.
Even if Wutian was warmed up in the sarcophagus, he was still in a state of death. That residual soul was not considered a life, it could only be said to be a program with memory.
After Wu Tian was resurrected, at least 20,000 years later, the curse had long since disappeared.
