Chapter 285

I waved my hand towards him.

"Okay, no need to say more, I don't blame you. In these troubled times, there is nothing wrong with wanting to protect yourself.

He is too old to take care of himself, so you should worry more about the affairs of the Tianshi Sect."

Then I went down to Lingtai Mountain with Master Wang. Since Master Wang heard my conversation with Yang Qingyun, I didn't give him any explanation at this time.

He just said: "Sir, my father is short-sighted and only wants to protect himself, which makes you laugh. It seems that Pluto has no way to deal with it at that time."

Wang Zhenren's face was dark, he shook his head and sighed again.

"No, Beidi, your father is definitely not a short-sighted person. I have heard from his words just now that he does not participate in the affairs of the underworld to protect himself."

When I heard this, I seemed a little shocked, thinking that this Zhenren Wang was the oldest among the five ghost emperors, and he was also the Great Underworld Chief who was highly regarded by Emperor Fengdu.

Some of what Yang Qingyun said just now was inappropriate. Could it be that he felt that Yang Qingyun had bad intentions and intended to encourage the power of Pluto?

Thinking of this, I rushed to explain to him, but he was one step ahead of me and said: "I have heard people say similar things before, and I really don't understand what they are referring to?"

I was stunned. Hearing that he didn’t mean that Yang Qingyun had any rebellious intentions, I immediately stopped what I just said.

"Zhenmao, you mean..."

So Master Wang told me a story from a thousand years ago.

Today's Beidi, including me and Yang Yun, has been changed twice.

The original Beidi was a contemporary of Wang Zhenren, that is, Yang Yun's master Zhang Zhenren.

These two men were from the same sect thousands of years ago. Later, they were both favored by Emperor Fengdu and became the Ghost Emperors of the West and the North respectively. They both had great futures.

But when Pluto rebelled for the first time, Yang Yun's master Zhang Zhenren surrendered to Pluto for some unknown reason and became Pluto's internal agent in Fengdu City when he rebelled.

However, the rebellion failed in the end. Afterwards, Zhenren Zhang was sentenced to the River Styx for a serious crime. As his disciple, Yang Yun was also implicated and a curse was planted.

Master Wang told me that when Pluto rebelled for the first time, Emperor Fengdu thought that he and Master Zhang were from the same school.

So he was asked to deal with the rebels led by Zhang Zhenren. In fact, he wanted him to persuade Zhang Zhenren to return from his lost ways.

But Zhenren Zhang was loyal to Pluto, and a war ensued between the two sides.

Zhenren Zhang is Zhenren Wang's senior brother. He is better than Zhenren Wang in both cultivation and strategy. Therefore, Zhenren Wang lost the battle and was captured alive by the opponent.

But after that, Master Zhang did not harm him, nor did he take him as a prisoner to blackmail Emperor Fengdu. Instead, he wanted to let him go.

Before leaving, Master Wang was very moved and felt that his senior brother was thinking about the friendship between the same disciples, so he once again advised Master Zhang.

It is said that the situation of Pluto is over now, and he will inevitably end up in failure in the end. If he leaves Pluto at this time, he may not die.

Zhang Zhenren rejected him again, and then spoke to him seriously.

And those words were very similar to what Yang Qingyun said to me just now.

The general meaning is that the pattern of the Yin and Yang worlds is very chaotic, what we see with our eyes may not be true, and what we follow may not be the true righteousness.

You have to keep your eyes open in everything. If you can't see the truth, then follow your heart and don't be swayed by the wind direction of the outside world.

Not long after Zhenren Zhang let Zhenren Wang go, Pluto's rebels were completely suppressed, and several of the top leaders of the rebellion were sentenced to the River Styx.

On the day of the execution, the real king was also present. He watched his senior brother being immersed in the River Styx, and even until his soul was gone, he still looked determined and had no regrets.

Now that a thousand years have passed, Master Wang often thinks of what his senior brother said to him, but he never understands what his senior brother meant.

He was very moved when he saw Yang Qingyun lecture me in the same tone just now.

After I heard what he said, I was also confused.

What Zhang Zhenren said back then clearly meant that he was not wrong. He felt that the Pluto he followed was the real righteousness.

At this time, I said: "Pluto rebelled because of his ambition. His original intention was wrong. The foolish loyalty of his subordinates would only amplify his mistakes. Other than that, there is no deep meaning.

I admit that under the rule of Emperor Fengdu, things would happen from time to time where various parties acted for personal gain and violated the law, but the overall situation in the underworld was stable after all.

If Pluto makes such a fuss, I'm afraid that all these systems will collapse in the future, and then all life will be in ruins."

Master Wang said: "Beidi, Pluto has not yet taken power, how can you and I know what will happen after he takes power?

Maybe under his rule, the underworld will become better.

My senior brother is extremely intelligent, and I feel that his decision back then was not simply due to stupidity and loyalty.

Moreover, your father also stated his point of view just now and does not want to interfere in this matter.

Beidi, have you ever thought that maybe what we are following is wrong..."

When I heard this, my expression immediately changed.

"Master, now is not the time to say such things. The Emperor is in danger and waiting for us to rescue him. How can we have any objections at this time?

Those underworld followers who follow Pluto speak high-sounding words, but their thoughts are actually just one word, "greed."

The master of Lingzong Palace is the best example. He has followed Pluto for thousands of years, but when the power was in front of him, he betrayed Pluto without hesitation and sealed Fengdu City.

These guys are all acting out of greed and have nothing to do with the so-called righteousness. You'd better stop thinking nonsense."

Master Wang just had some doubts in his heart, but after being taught by me, he suddenly became sober again.

Then I thought that since Yang Qingyun refused to go down the mountain, we could only deal with the Lingzong Palace Master first, and when we capture Fengdu City and rescue the Fengdu Emperor, we can also wipe out Pluto's ambitions.
