Chapter 233 - Deceive Teachers and Destroy Ancestors (2/2)
“You -” Yufei didn’t seem to know the grudges between these people. He hesitated, “what’s the situation of brother Long Fei now?”
Hao Ning was just about to answer, when he suddenly heard a voice coming in the air, and carefully identified it. It turned out to be Mr. Fei’s. “Heaven Master, you killed my Yi Pingzhi like this. Don’t you give me some explanations?”
“Mr. Fei?” Li Yufei’s eyes were a little flustered, but they were gone right away. “It’s the Split Sect who killed my close relatives first. After lying to my lover, he was about to kill all of us just now. It won’t make sense if I don’t kill him, right?”
“Good, good, good.” Mr. Fei said it three times in a row. The whole huge warehouse shook, and everyone’s vision blurred. Suddenly there was a crack. The top of the warehouse was torn open by a huge force. Hao Ning sensed that it was not good. According to Zhou Yuan, the warehouse was beneath the mausoleum of the first emperor. When it was torn open, wouldn’t the earth and stone on it fall off? When he was just about to put Pandora’s metal into a protective ball, unexpectedly, they saw a bright moon hanging in the sky. Then they looked around, how could it be under the mausoleum? Taking advantage of the moonlight, they found it was a vast expanse of land. But there was only the moon in the sky and the brightness was not enough, so they couldn’t see it clearly.
“No.” Li Yufei cried in a low voice. His eyes were dimmed. “This old guy knows my weakness, and he is cutting the ground from under my foot!”
“Heaven Master.” There was an object flying in the sky. By moonlight, they could see that it was a person. It must be Mr. Fei. “I just received the news from Yi Pingzhi, and you killed him. It was so fast. But I moved you to this place. I’m afraid there’s nothing you can do at this time.”
“So what?” said Li Yufei coldly, “you know you can’t kill me.”
It was strange to say that. Hao Ning and others didn’t understand. Why did Li Yufei say that he couldn’t kill him several times?
“That’s right.” Mr. Fei nodded, “but I can kill Chen Busheng in front of you -” he paused. “Of course, I know that you can recover this person in another place, but you also know that the Chen Busheng you recover is not Chen Busheng before. In reality, it’s a tiny difference. But there is a huge difference in your mind! What’s more, if I kill Chen Busheng in front of me, I would wipe out his soul completely. At that time, even if you have tens of millions of skills, you would only recover Chen Busheng’s body. At that time, will the soul in Chen Busheng’s body be the one in your heart?”
“Zhou Yuan,” Hao Ning whispered, “can you take us away with circle escape?”
Zhou Yuan frowned and shook his head, “this Mr. Fei seemed to use great power to move us to the hinterland of the Sahara Desert. Now our mobile phones have no signal at all. Without signals, I can’t use circle escape.”
“Kids,” Mr. Fei said with a smile in the air. “I have no grudge with you. If you can persuade this Heaven Master to agree to my terms, I may give you each a chance to become a God.”
“What kind of terms?” Hao Ning said strangely, “you have harmed so many people. How could you with us about terms to let us go and even let us become gods? Do you think we will trust you?”
“Of course, it’s just the chance to become a God. It’s not a loss for me to let you become a God in exchange for Heaven Master’s help.” Mr. Fei pointed to the sky. The sky suddenly brightened, and everyone looked down. Sure enough, everything they saw was desert. The light gradually subsided, but the sky was much brighter than before, and everyone could see the scenery around.
Mr. Fei continued to say, “besides, you are the people of the Celestial Empire. Why wouldn’t I let you become gods?”
Hao Ning and others felt strange and continued to ask, “we do not understand your meaning.”
“I used to be the same as you.” Mr. Fei nodded with a smile in the air. “I also yearned for becoming a God, but I was not destined to become a God. Not only that, I also yearned for the glory of the past of Celestial Empire civilization like Yi Pingzhi. Looking at the history of the past two hundred years, with the continuous invasion of the west, our Celestial Empire civilization retreated a lot. We couldn’t even keep our traditional medicines. People use western medicine every day. In the long run, our civilization will never return to the Celestial Empire tradition. That’s why I continued to study the matter of becoming a God, so that we Celestial Empire, people who have the heart of Celestial Empire tradition, can become gods and be fundamentally superior to western people. By then, all Celestial Empire gods will enslave all western people!”
“Aren’t you biased?” Hao Ning could not help complaining. “Our Celestial Empire civilization has always said that the sea refuses no river. Even if the West invaded us, our civilization has reached a low point, but do we still rely on people’s efforts to stand up? And we are all developing. Isn’t the reason why the tradition has become a tradition is that every era of the past was constantly developing? We get rid of the stale and take in the fresh. In other words, tradition also needs to be improved constantly….”
“Shut up!” Mr. Fei said angrily, “you have already entered the devil’s way when you said this. You have no idea how many excellent things our Celestial Empire ancients have. How dare you talk about changing the tradition here!”
As Mr. Fei said, he made a row around Hao Ning. Suddenly, the ground under the foot of Hao Ning cracked. Unexpectedly, he fell down. Zhou Yuan and others were about to rescue him. Unexpectedly, the more they ran to Hao Ning, the farther away they were from Hao Ning. The crack was split in the desert. Soon, the quicksand had filled the gap. Looking at Hao Ning, he was covered with quicksand. The more he moved, the more he fell.
“Hao Ning! Don’t move! ” Zhou Yuan and others were running and panting, but they still ran farther and farther.
As Zhou Yuan ran, he cursed, “what kind of evil magic is this? How can it be so strange?”
Liu Shuai also said, “I seem to have impressions, but it’s not impressive. Oh my brain, how can it be more difficult to remember in more urgent situations.”
“I’ll give you another chance.” Mr. Fei sneered in the air. “As long as you say that we should uphold the tradition and lay more stress on the past than on the present, I’ll let you go and let you become god with me!”
“Bullshit!” Hao Ning was oppressed in quicksand, but he couldn’t say anything like that. He thought that he would be dead anyway, so it would be better to die for righteousness. “Shame on you! Because of the policy of seclusion, we used to live in our own illusory greatness for a period of time, and we didn’t open our eyes to see how the world changed. Even when other people kept moving forward, we still thought we were in the kingdom of heaven. That’s how we lagged behind the world! It was hard for us to realize this problem. The whole Celestial Empire was striving to catch up and keep opening up. Today, however, you focus on restoring the past. Yes, we are people of the Celestial Empire. We are all thinking about the glory of ancient times. But we can’t go back to the past just by remembering that. It’s better to look forward, or we will be closed again! Another national catastrophe will happen to us!”
Not only Mr. Fei, but also other people heard this. Liu Shuai couldn’t help saying. “Hao Ning’s words are so good that they can all be published in the newspaper…” Speaking of Hao Ning’s situation, he said urgently, “but the words can’t save lives. Nezha? Heaven Master? Zhou Yuan? Do you have any idea?”
It was no wonder that all three shook their heads. Although Nezha now has the aura of Jiang Ziya, he was almost an ordinary person. Zhou Yuan probably came to the desert here. Without Internet, he could not receive faith, so his magic power was weak. And the Heaven Master, for some reason, could not use his power here. For a time, they were very powerful gods and men, but they were useless at this time!
“Nonsense!” Mr. Fei said angrily, “as long as you can become a God, what else can stop the Celestial Empire people! Since you are so stubborn, I have to take the name of God and remove you from the land of the Celestial Empire!”
With that, the earth under the feet of Hao Ning continued to crack. Hao Ning knew that he was powerless, and swore at Mr. Fei, “old thief, you think you have saved the Celestial Empire civilization. In fact, you have greatly harmed the Celestial Empire civilization. You are using people’s yearning for the traditions to destroy the future. You are the scum of Celestial Empire. Sooner or later, the Celestial Empire civilization will be broken in the hands of people like you. You…”
Before Hao Ning finished his words, he had sunk down, and his voice faded.
“Hao Ning!” Liu Shuai and Zhou Yuan saw Hao Ning dying in the swearing and couldn’t help kneeling on the ground and crying.
“It’s your turn!” Mr. Fei said with a grim smile, “say it. Lay more stress on the past than on the present. Say that the ancient Celestial Empire is better than the modern one. As long as you say it, I won’t let you die. Otherwise, you’ll be just like that man!”
Liu Shuai and Zhou Yuan glared at Mr. Fei as if their eyes were going to bleed, but they said nothing.
Mr. Fei shook his head regretfully, “unfortunately, you have to die.”
“Stop, sinner!” Suddenly an old voice came from a far place. The voice was fleeting. In a blink of an eye, an old man appeared in front of everyone from far to near. The old man pointed to Mr. Fei in the sky and scolded, “did I teach you the mana to help you hurt people?”
When Liu Shuai and Zhou Yuan saw him, they went surprised when the tears on their faces. The old man was no one else, but Mr. Hu.
Mr. Hu raised one hand. People only saw Hao Ning rising from the quicksand, then lying on the quicksand. It was strange that Hao Ning was lying on the quicksand. It seemed that Hao Ning wasn’t moving, but his whole body had moved towards Zhou Yuan and others, and soon moved to Zhou Yuan and Liu Shuai’s feet. These two people felt Hao Ning’s breath. Tears dropped down from their smiling faces, while they hurried to save Hao Ning. From time to time, Hao Ning coughed several times. He spat out some sand and even woke up.
“Grandpa Hu?” Hao Ning looked at Mr. Hu in front of him and asked, “why are you here?” Looking up to the sky, Mr. Fei looked dignified. He looked at Mr. Hu on the ground and seemed to be thinking about something.
“Sinner!” Mr. Hu pointed to Mr. Fei and swore, “acknowledge your guilt!”
“What guilt do I have?” Mr. Fei shouted in the air. “You taught me mana, but you don’t let me become a god. Not only do you not let me become a god, you gods, but also watch the Celestial Empire civilization being so ruined. You are the sinners of the Celestial Empire civilization!”
“Gross nonsense.” Mr. Hu scolded with anger, “if it wasn’t for the foreigners who knocked Celestial Empire civilization on the head two hundred years ago, would all people of Celestial Empire know that they had gone to the old age of decay in their illusory arrogance? Fei Zhangfang, I can’t imagine how I took such a slow-witted disciple like you when I wanted to save people!”
“Fei Zhangfang?” Hao Ning gasped and thought, “where did I seem to have heard of this man?”
“The myth of Hu Gong.” Zhou Yuan’s eyes brightened, “it is said that Hu Gong was an immortal, who lived in the world of Hu, so he was called Hu Gong. It is said that Hu Gong received an apprentice, Fei Zhangfang. Unfortunately, the apprentice’s intelligence was limited. Therefore, Hu Gong only taught him how to cure the disease and save the people, and Reduction of Lands related to the earth. It was said that later, Hu Gong returned, but left behind an idiom related to how traditional Chinese medicine saved people, which was practice medicine in order to help the people.”
“So it is. Mr. Hu’s last name is also Hu.” Hao Ning nodded. “Grandpa Hu must be Hu Gong, and Mr. Fei is Fei Zhangfang. No wonder he started his business from the mining industry. I think he can find some mineral resources with the Reduction of Land. And he valued Yi Pingzhi so much, probably because he insisted on traditional Chinese medicine so much, right?”
“Fei Zhangfang, as your teacher, I know your pains.” Hu said, sighing with great care. “But whether it is Celestial Empire civilization or Chinese medicine, it has its essence and its dross. Why do you want to protect it without discrimination?”
“Nonsense! Chinese civilization has a long history. How could there be any dross?” Fei Zhangfang’s eyes were red at that time, and he said angrily, “even if it’s dross, it’s also because that our descendants are not good at learning. Do not understand the wisdom of the ancients, and mistakenly think it’s dross. What’s more, traditional medicine is so extensive and profound. How can western medicine, the diabolic tricks and wicked craft, be compared with it?”
“You were talking about traditional medicine.” Hu said with a sigh and shook his head. “But you don’t know how traditional medicine has evolved over the past thousand years. How could there be the saying of ‘tradition’? Do you know that the changes in the past will become the traditions in the eyes of others tomorrow?”
“There’s no use in discussing it, master! It’s the last time I call you master!” Fei Zhangfang grinned hideously, “I’ll be free after your death!” After saying that, Fei Zhangfang pointed to the sky. A huge stamp dropped from the clouds, pushing down to these people.
“You!” Mr. Hu looked at the huge seal in the sky and said with a surprise, “you are such a sinner! How could you find this weapon?”
“Bad,” Liu Shuai responded at the moment he saw it and he shouted, “how could you get Fantian Seal!”
“Humph, you know a lot about the goods!” Mr. Fei sneered, “well, my effort for looking for it was not wasted!”
With that, the huge shadow of the seal was pushing down to the earth. Although Hu Gong was an immortal, Fantian Seal was such a powerful weapon. How could Hu Gong resist it?
Hu Gong swept around, countless stone pillars rose from the ground, supporting the shadow. But the shadow was extremely powerful. In a while, the stone pillars were all broken, and the shadow was about to fall down!
“Hu Gong, I’ll help you!”
“Hu Gong! I’ll help you!”
At that time, two voices came out. Hao Ning and others looked up and found there were several old men with long beard floating in the air. But they couldn’t recognize any of them.
One of the old men scolded, “Fei Zhangfang, when I, Hua Tuo, used powder for anesthesia to save people and used knives and axes to do the operation for patients, did I think about whether it was traditional medicine? At that time, I was just thinking that anything useful for curing people would be good medicine! I didn’t expect that in thousands of years, there would be such an ignorant and presumptuous person like you, who kill people with the cover of traditional medicine!”
Another old man swore, “Fei Zhangfang! I, Sun Simiao, traveled all over the world to collect all the prescriptions and wrote Qian Jin Prescriptions. I wasn’t thinking about traditional medicine. All I was thinking was that one more prescription I collect and one more patient I would save. If I heard about a better prescription in another country, I would fast for three days and visit the doctor to learn it. I didn’t expect that in a thousand years there would be such an ignorant and presumptuous person like you, who totally loses the heart of saving others and only cares for the fight between traditional medicine and western medicine. It’s not a fight between the tradition and the west. It’s a fight in your heart! How did you get this place? You are reckless with greed! You are evil!”
“Humph, it’s you who are evil!” Fei Zhangfang looked at these two old men in the air and grinned hideously, “it’s you who abandoned your traditions and destroyed your foundations. How could I show mercy to you?”
With that, he turned palms down. The three old men turned into a white light and stood up to the shadow. However, in a while, the white light had been overwhelmed by the light of the shadow. After the white light disappeared, the three old men left a sentence in the air:
Healing the sick and saving people and keeping the healer’s heart.
These big characters gave out infinite light as if to illuminate the heaven and earth, crossing the ancient to the modern!
“Healing the sick and saving people and keeping the healer’s heart!” Liu Shuai looked at these words, thought about them constantly, and looked at Fei Zhangfang in the air. He couldn’t help shouting, “shame on you to say that you are defending the Celestial Empire culture. You not only killed and deceived your masters, but also killed all the leading figures of the Celestial Empire traditional medicine. How dare you say that you can represent traditional medicine and traditional culture of the Celestial Empire?”
