Chapter 109 Is it Important?

Did he even know that?

Wei Shao You's mind went blank.

He had told everyone everything about the events of later generations without any concealment, except for one thing that he had not mentioned, and that was the lack of records about this patriarch in later generations.

It wasn't that he didn't want to say it, but because he felt a faint fear in his heart.

This fear did not disappear with time, but instead became more profound.

In the thirty years that he had followed Sa Wu Ling around the world, he had become increasingly aware of the legend of this patriarch.

The new laws implemented by Da Qing at this moment were clearly the laws of the Imperial Heaven's Eleventh Era!

The laws that ran through the sixty-seven thousand two hundred years of later generations were pioneered by this patriarch!

The gods of mountains and rivers, armored vehicles, Taiji Responsive Chapters, and everything else familiar to later generations all originated from this patriarch.

But precisely, in any legend or record of later generations, there was no mention of the Taiji Daoist, not even a single word!

The implication behind this made him afraid to speak, afraid to think.

He couldn't imagine who had stolen the glory of this patriarch.

Under such circumstances, how could he dare to speak?

But now that An Qi Sheng directly asked him, Wei Shao You had no way out.

His body trembled, sweat appeared on his forehead, and after struggling and hesitating for a long time, he gritted his teeth and nodded:

"Yes!"

An Qi Sheng glanced at the misty sky and asked himself:

"Later generations inherited today's laws, but all the glory has nothing to do with me. Are you thinking, who stole the glory that should have belonged to me?"

Wei Shao You's body trembled even more violently, but he still gritted his teeth and nodded:

"Yes!"

His mind trembled, and he felt that all his thoughts and ideas had no room for concealment in front of this patriarch.

Everything was easily seen through.

"Heh~"

A smile appeared on An Qi Sheng's face:

"Are you suspecting Lao Tianshi (Old Celestial Master) in your mouth, my direct disciple, Sa Wu Ling?"

'Crack~'

Wei Shao You suddenly looked up, broken teeth mixed with blood flowing from the corner of his mouth. He was uncontrollably terrified, but he retorted loudly:

"Absolutely not!"

He had made guesses, but they were only guesses.

He would never believe that Lao Tianshi would do such a thing of deceiving his master and destroying his ancestors!

If he had really done such a thing, with Wang Ling Guan's fiery temper, they would have turned against each other long ago. How could there be a master-disciple story that would be passed down for sixty thousand years?

"Go back for now, and come with me in a few days."

An Qi Sheng waved his hand.

Wei Shao You, who was about to say something, felt a shock, and when he opened his eyes again, he was already off the high platform.

His body swayed for a moment before he heard the last words of the patriarch.

"Whether it is or not, it doesn't matter anymore,

Success does not have to be mine."

He knew that this sentence was the patriarch's answer to the doubts in his heart.

"Success does not have to be mine..."

Wei Shao You was touched in his heart and looked up at the high platform, muttering to himself.

...

Qingdu City had been expanded several times, and the original city walls had become inner walls, and the original city had become the inner city.

And even the inner city had undergone considerable changes.

After ninety years, he stepped into this city again.

In a private room of a time-honored restaurant, Sa Wu Ling felt emotional. The last time he stood here, he was discussing with Yan Xia Ke about assassinating the king.

In the blink of an eye, ninety years had passed.

Sa Wu Ling sat quietly by the window, until the waiter brought all the food and wine and closed the door, then he slowly opened his palm:

"Mr. Mu, after knowing each other for ninety years, now, we can finally meet..."

Buzz~

Between the opened palms, a stream of light landed.

In an instant, the light spots had spread out.

Sa Wu Ling watched quietly, and after a few moments, the light spots disappeared, and he saw the true face of 'Grandpa Hand'.

He wore a brown long shirt, neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin, and his face was not very handsome, but his eyes were as deep as the sea and as bright as the morning sun.

Making him unforgettable at first sight.

"Kid Sa, just call me Grandpa Hand."

Mu Long Cheng stopped in the room. This was different from perceiving through Sa Wu Ling's palm. Standing in this world and feeling it was more real.

But allowing him to perceive everything around him, everything was real without any illusion.

Everything was unbelievably real.

But, traveling through time and space, even the universe, such great power, especially something that anyone can have?

Could it be that his guess was wrong, and the person behind the scenes was not An Qi Sheng?

Mu Long Cheng's heart was filled with thousands of thoughts, and he remained silent for a long time.

"Grandpa Hand."

Sa Wu Ling followed suit and stood up to greet him: "Please sit down."

Mu Long Cheng nodded and sat down.

Sa Wu Ling thought he would have a lot to say, but when he really got to this point, he found that he couldn't say anything.

The two were familiar, but also very strange.

So strange that even their names were only known just now.

"The food and wine are good, what a pity."

Mu Long Cheng looked at the food and wine in front of him and felt a little regretful. Since his death, he had forgotten the taste of human incense.

"I didn't think it through."

Sa Wu Ling waved his sleeve, and the food and wine on the table disappeared.

He thought that Mu Long Cheng was in the form of a Yin spirit, but until he really faced him, he realized that it was not the case. He was just a wisp of brand, a piece of information.

He could not be called a Yin god.

"He values you very much."

After staring for a moment, Mu Long Cheng slowly opened his mouth:

"You are also worthy of his valuing."

Living with Sa Wu Ling for ninety years, Mu Long Cheng naturally knew better than anyone else and could feel the great changes that had taken place in him.

A rural old Taoist, a mountain peasant, growing step by step to this point, even with his guidance, the hardships could be imagined.

To the point that even he had to admire him at this time.

"I have come all the way thanks to Grandpa Hand's guidance, otherwise, I would not have my today."

Sa Wu Ling sighed:

"It's a pity that I couldn't find a body for Grandpa Hand..."

"Whether there is a body or not is no longer important. Being able to witness this great world and see the road ahead of cultivation, my heart is already satisfied."

Mu Long Cheng shook his head slightly.

As early as the moment of his death, life and death had no meaning for him.

Being able to see the road ahead and see the scenery of a world was already worth the trip.

Even if there was a body, he might not stay in this world, because he could vaguely guess that following An Qi Sheng, or rather, 'Reincarnation Blessed Land, Infinite Cave Heaven'.

He could see higher, further, and more scenery.

"Grandpa Hand is open-minded."

The two spoke meaningless words, and soon, the hour that An Qi Sheng had given them was about to arrive.

"Alright, time is almost up."

Mu Long Cheng slowly stood up, his already somewhat ethereal body becoming even more illusory.

Sa Wu Ling also stood up.

"I have passed on all the insights I have gained about the method taught by your teacher to you, and there is nothing else to say."

Mu Long Cheng glanced at Sa Wu Ling.

Although he was emotionally indifferent, there was still some affection after ninety years of being together.

After thinking about it, he added:

"The method taught by your teacher is somewhat reserved, but this is not because he is hiding it, but because the 'Heaven and Earth Essence Qi' of this world is strange..."

"I have also noticed what Grandpa Hand said."

Sa Wu Ling nodded.

All things are born between heaven and earth, and it is impossible not to be stained with the essence of heaven and earth, but a little stain is not a big deal. The essence of heaven and earth that ordinary people come into contact with in their lifetime is not as much as what a Qi cultivator breathes in and out in a day.

But when he met his teacher, he had already cultivated 'Nurturing Qi' for ten years.

Therefore, what he learned was different from his teacher.

"If you want to solve it, it's not difficult."

Mu Long Cheng took one last look at Sa Wu Ling, his body moved slightly, and he had already turned into a stream of light, piercing the sky and heading towards the Conferred God Stage.

Only his last sentence echoed in Sa Wu Ling's heart:

"If your teacher succeeds, this matter will be easily solved. If he fails, you should find a suitable time to die once!"

"Die once..."

Sa Wu Ling was thoughtful. After standing for a moment, he bowed deeply towards the place where Mu Long Cheng disappeared:

"Grandpa Hand's guidance, Sa Wu Ling will never forget."

...

"The former emperor has abdicated!"

The peace of Qingdu City was broken by this sudden news.

"The former emperor has been in power for ninety years, not building palaces, not building mausoleums, not increasing taxes, establishing new laws, opening armored vehicles, pacifying demons and ghosts, maintaining business roads, building water conservancy, reclaiming farmland, being close to virtuous ministers, keeping away from villains...

What is even more rare is that the former emperor even abolished the system of three palaces and six courtyards. In his ninety years in power, he didn't even have an empress!

Now he is even abdicating to the virtuous, abandoning the system of family rule! What kind of sage is this?"

"In the past ten thousand years, has there ever been such a king? What virtue and ability do we have to see such a sage king? It is said that decades ago, some people scolded the former emperor as a 'dog emperor'. It's simply outrageous!"

"Farewell, former emperor, farewell, former emperor..."

Except for many people who had already learned about this matter, the entire Qingdu City was in an uproar, and countless people were alarmed, and discussions about this matter could be heard everywhere.

For this king who was once scolded as a 'dog emperor', the people of the world today are mostly grateful, and few complain.

In the noisy and boiling crowd, An Qi Sheng walked unhurriedly, with a yellow dog that was not much bigger than ninety years ago squatting on his shoulder.

Behind him, Yan Xia Ke and Wei Shao You followed on the left and right.

It had already been a month since Yan Xia Ke and others returned to Qingdu. The biggest thing in this month was the handover between the yellow dog and Wang E.

Now, the new emperor has ascended the throne without any waves, and only the people are still talking about it.

"This is really... unimaginable..."

Unlike Yan Xia Ke, who was completely unaware, Wei Shao You looked dazed, his heart filled with disbelief.

In later generations, there was a legend about this 'Dog Emperor'.

According to legend, this 'Dog Emperor' was one of the founders of the new law, the end-of-the-world sage who re-picked up the abdication system, and many people in later generations even regarded it as a spiritual sustenance.

But who could have imagined that this 'Dog Emperor' was actually a 'dog emperor'!

Even though Wei Shao You no longer had much trust in legends after one incident after another, he still felt that he couldn't accept it at this time.

How could a dog be related to the word emperor?

But at the same time, he also understood that his patriarch was extremely displeased with the 'emperor system, the power of the king belonging to one person', and even despised it.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to do such a thing.

This was a true contempt for kingship.

"Hearing the people's praise, how do you feel?"

Listening to the discussions of the many people around him, An Qi Sheng couldn't help but smile.

"Governing by non-action is the best governance."

The yellow dog's eyes contained an inexplicable emotion, and he slowly opened his mouth:

"Master is right, a truly complete system doesn't need an emperor..."

What did it do in these ninety years?

The yellow dog thought about it, but in fact, it didn't do anything, just followed the established order step by step and made decisions one by one.

If it had to say what it had done, it was probably because it liked being a 'single dog'.

"Governing by non-action is the best governance."

Yan Xia Ke opened his mouth hoarsely, and only then did he look squarely at this yellow dog.

Originally, he was completely opposed to this yellow dog being the emperor, and thought that it was extremely irresponsible to the civil and military officials and the people of the world.

Even if the facts proved that this yellow dog did better than many emperors in the past, he was still not convinced, at least, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

But at this time, when he heard the yellow dog say that governing by non-action was the best governance, he was shocked to realize that he had indeed underestimated this 'dog emperor'.

He knew that this sentence was explained by An Zhenren.

But, a casual sentence ninety years ago could be remembered to this day without deviating in the slightest in ninety years, how remarkable was this?

At least, he thought he couldn't do it.

"In the end, you have to experience the baptism of time to know whether it is right or wrong."

While talking softly, the three people and one dog walked through the bustling streets and left Qingdu City.

"Master, where are we going?"

"To a place to get a book."
