"General…"
After the war ended, Yu Xi stood on the city wall and looked into the distance. No one knew what he was thinking.
"General."
"Hmm?"
Yu Xi was woken up by the adjutant beside him. It was only then that he remembered that he was on the battlefield.
"What's wrong? Wasn't the war already over?”
"General, the war is over…We won…"
The adjutant looked at his general with a complicated expression. The general was a god of war and had never lost a battle. However, was this victory really correct?
Was such a victory really what they wanted? Many of the soldiers 'families had died, and the enemy had even begun to massacre the city. Many innocent people had also died tragically in the massacre.
"Did you win?"
Yu Xi walked down the city and casually walked on the streets.
Blood.
All he saw was blood everywhere.。。Corpses.
Massacring a city meant killing indiscriminately.
"This is war?"
Yu Xi was a little lost. In this illusion, he was a general who had experienced hundreds of battles and was used to the cruelty of war. However, he was an ordinary person in his previous life and a child in this life. Although he had experienced some things, he had never personally commanded.
In order to win the war, some sacrifices were necessary.
This was what he had just learned from this illusion. The anger of the soldiers could be vented on the enemy, but if the morale of the soldiers was scattered, there was really no turning back.
"General, we also captured more than thirty thousand enemy soldiers.。”
"Kill them all.“
Yu Xi interrupted the adjutant, his voice calm.
"Let the soldiers who lost their loved ones do this. Whether they kill them directly or plan to kill them, it's up to them. They need to vent.”
"This…"
"Follow my orders!“
"Yes... General…"
Standing on the city wall and looking at the tens of thousands of captives in the distance, Yu Xi could only see blood flowing like rain in front of his eyes. The whole world seemed to have turned scarlet.
Was this world red?
The scene in front of him began to distort, as if space was constantly compressing. Withered fragments appeared in front of Yu Xi.
This was…The third illusion?
At this moment, what appeared in Yu Xi was no longer the illusion from before. Instead, it was two real paths.
Heavenly Dao, Human Dao.
The way of heaven is to reduce surplus and supplement deficiency.
The way of man is that the loss is not enough to support the surplus.
"The Heavenly Dao and... Human path?"
Yu Xi looked at the two paths in front of him and naturally knew that these were the words written by the Taoist ancestor Lao Tzu in the Tao Te Ching.
"Do you want me to choose a path? It was a little similar to the Mo Family.”
Yu Xi recalled what he had seen in his previous life. There were two roads in the forbidden area of the Mo family.
The way of chivalry is the way of kings.
Within five paces, a hundred people are not suitable. After ten years of sharpening the sword, I became a lone hero.
Thousands of miles away, thousands of people bowed their heads. The four seas, the martial world, the king of a hundred generations.
For a lifetime, a handful of yellow soil. A dream of vanity, a lifetime of humanity.
It was the principle of the Hundred Schools of Thought. Immortal for thousands of years, eternal Heavenly Dao.
(The Heavenly Dao here does not represent the Heavenly Sect or the Human Sect. It's just my personal understanding.)
"Human dao doesn't seem to suit me.。”
Looking at the two paths in front of him, Yu Xi smiled gently and took a step toward the Heavenly Dao without hesitation.
In the Heavenly Dao, there was only darkness. However, Yu Xi did not slow down. He just walked forward. He did not know if this was an illusion or what he would experience next. However, since he had already chosen this path, he had to walk to the end.
"This is...“
The sudden light pierced Yu Xi's eyes, which had already adapted to the darkness, until he could not open them. Had he come out of the Heavenly Dao?
"This is the place where we started?”
For some reason, Yu Xi realized that he had returned to the secret chamber from the beginning. Was everything before an illusion?。Or did he follow the Heavenly Dao and come back here?。Also, whether his test succeeded or failed.
"Hmm?"
Just as Yu Xi was confused about the current situation, he noticed something different.
A part of the ground in front of Chi Songzi's master's corpse actually protruded out, and there wasn't any before.
Walking to the side of the old man's corpse, Yu Xi tried to move the bulge away. Only then did he realize that it was actually a vacuum inside.
Beneath it was a sword and a bamboo slip.
Famous Sword. Qiuli
"If you see this bamboo slip, it means that you have also obtained this sword.”
Yu Xi looked at the contents of the bamboo scroll and felt a little happy. This should be a success?
"This sword is called the Autumn Dragon Sword. It's one of the famous swords and is ranked ninth on the sword manual. Although it's ranked ninth, this sword is not inferior to Xueji. I hope you can treat it well after you get it. If you can get Qiuli, then you're already my disciple. In the future, you must remember that you're a disciple of Daoism and correct our Daoism.”
"Phew..."
After reading the contents of the bamboo slips, Yu Xi let out a sigh of relief. He had really succeeded in the test. That was great.。
"Congratulations to the host for completing the main mission!”
Xiao Ling appeared in front of Yu Xi and said mischievously,"Host brother has received the mission reward: Beginner Light-body Technique, Beginner Sword Technique, Beginner Breathing Technique, and 300 Achievement Points.”
"Is that so? Thank you, Xiao Ling."
Yu Xi was forcing a smile. After experiencing two illusions, he was really feeling a little tired.
The first illusion was his mother from his previous life. Although the second illusion had nothing to do with him, he did not know if it revealed his heart. If he really went to the battlefield one day, would he do the same thing as in the illusion?。
"Forget it."
Yu Xi sighed softly. No matter what, he had succeeded now. What did it matter what would happen in the future?
