Simulation becomes reality, have I ever looked down upon the eternity?

Chapter 292: Between the geese and trees, a gentleman hides his talent, Xie Hong’s invitation!
【Xie Yuan stood up from his chair, looked around, then lowered his head again, his nose almost touching the spread-out map, his eyes wide open.】

[There are many demons in Zehu. Even if the combined forces of Jiannandao and the Demon Slaughtering Division are combined, they are still unable to resist. ]

[The demons are already invincible. They come out of the five waterways like "the autumn wind" and wreak havoc in other states and prefectures as they flow downstream.]

[It is said that after the Second Master, several generations of Zehu Lords wasted a hundred years, letting their demons move mountains to build a copper wall.]

[The current Zehu is unbreakable, especially since a "demon master" who is extraordinary and holy has appeared in the past two hundred years, far surpassing the previous generation. ]

[Among them are the notorious monsters, the nine masters sitting on the nine chairs in the Dragon Palace, whose power is even more prosperous than that of Zehu a hundred years ago.]

【Zhang Yunzhi looked at you with great interest.】

[“Now, Zehu’s Demon Slaughtering Division has nine hundred lieutenants under its command. They are all masters of the third realm of martial arts. There is also one in the upper third realm, and a hidden god in the eighth realm of the soul.”]

[“This lineup is more than enough even for any other provincial demon-slaying division, but it is still insufficient when facing Zehu.”]

[A big monster can rival a warrior in the upper third realm. There is more than one big monster in Zehu. ]

[“It’s just that they are unable to mobilize the army. They just listen to the announcements in the Jiedushi’s tent.”]

[Her father is the director of the Zehu General Department of the Demon Slayer Department in Zehu.]

【Xie Yuan sat back in his chair and sighed:】

[“It’s difficult! How can we fight this, unless Mr. Er goes to Zehu again.”]

[Of course this is impossible, as Mr. Er is now seriously ill in bed.]

【There is only one Mr. Er in the world. 】

[There were also heroes who wielded swords to slay demons, but they all died at the hands of demons, and their bodies sank to the bottom of the lake.]

[You look at the five waterways on the map that go eastwards and lead to the two prefectures of Jiannan Road and Longnan Road, and there is a thoughtful look in your eyes.]

[After a moment of contemplation, you finally shook your head, turned your gaze to Zhang Yunzhi, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, after thinking it over, I still haven't come up with a plan to eliminate the demon."]

[Although Zhang Yunzhi had a premonition in her heart, she still had an inexplicable expectation for this young man who had predicted the war in the west without leaving the hospital.]

[Yes, this is Zehu, a demon lair that has caused hundreds of thousands of people in Jiannan Road to suffer from restlessness for a hundred years.]

[Among them, the nine leaders of the Dragon Palace are all demons that the whole world is afraid of. ]

[My father had been in Zehu for many years. He was originally full of ambition to kill all the demons, but in the end, facing Zehu, he could only sigh.]

[No matter how the Demon Slayer Division where my father works tries to maneuver, it seems to be in the dilemma of "a good cook cannot cook without rice".]

[How can you, a young boy who has not even reached adulthood, unravel all these myriad threads? ]

[I just took it for granted.]

【Zhang Yunzhi calmed down and her face returned to normal.】

[You smiled slightly and said, "Actually, Miss Zhi, what you want is not to destroy the Zehu demon, right?"]

【Xie Yuan also turned around. He knew very well that his cousin's father, his uncle, was the commander-in-chief of the Zehu Demon Slaughtering Division.】

【Zhang Yunzhi no longer concealed the truth. She had no intention of keeping anything from Xie Guan on this matter.】

[All she wanted was for her father to return to Bianjing and reunite with her mother.]

[As for her father's ambition to flatten Ze Lake and kill all the demons, she would rather her father not take the risk. ]

【Xie Yuan couldn't help but sigh as he listened to his fourth cousin's story. His uncle really had a hard time. He hadn't had a New Year's Eve dinner with his family for four or five years.】

[My father, Zhang Guangzu, has always advocated quelling the demon rebellion in the country and solving the natural disasters and plagues in the thirteen prefectures, first to comfort the people in the country, and then to discuss the war between the Sui Dynasty and the Qi Dynasty. However, he disagreed with Prime Minister Su because of this, and was ostracized by the court. He was transferred to the position of Director General of the Zehu Demon Slaughtering Division.]

[You have already made up your mind. Facing this matter, you decide...]

1. Do not make any suggestions. (Hint: It may have adverse effects in the future.)
2. Suggest Zhang Guangzu to ambush the demon outside Zehu Lake. (Hint: You may lose a noble person in the future.)
3. It is recommended that Zhang Guangzu bring only one confidant with him to enter Zehu. (Hint: This may be helpful in the future.)
4. It is recommended that Zhang Guangzu not make any deployment. (Hint: You may lose a noble person in the future.)
5. Get involved in person. (0/3)

The aura of the cauldron became increasingly ancient and heavy, and the dark blue words slowly froze.

Yu Ke looked at the three options above and pondered for a moment.

Judging from the prompts, there is actually no problem.

Only option 3, the prompt may be helpful in the future.

The remaining options are "unfavorable" and "losing a noble person", which can be directly eliminated.

The strange thing about Yu Ke is.

The world he lives in in this life is significantly different from his first life before he was reborn as a celestial being.

Among the nine realms of martial arts, warriors in the upper three realms can actually fight against the "big monster". What kind of existence is this big monster?
The cultivation of the soul is even more magical. When one reaches the lower three realms, the soul can leave the body, which is an extremely rare and magical thing in the world he lives in.

The world in which Yu Ke lives, like the Master who lives seven hundred years old, can only be achieved by those who have reached the realm of "Great Immortal".

Throughout the generations of the Yu family, only the first ancestor reached this realm.

To know!
In the Great Zhou Divine Dynasty, those families that have two living great immortals, such as the Langya Wang family to which Wang Yunxi belongs, have already become well-known and powerful families in the Divine Dynasty.

Only families whose ancestors had great immortals can be regarded as "poor families" by the outer disciples of the Shenxiao Sect.

Recalling “Lu Chen” in his first life, he practiced martial arts, and his heavenly realm was the pinnacle of the human world.

In Yu Ke's opinion, Lu Chen's realm of heaven and man is actually equivalent to the perfection of the second ladder in this world.

When Lu Chen ascended, he might have already glimpsed the third ladder.

The "Heavenly Tribulation Hand" created by Lu Chen was the foundation-building method that Yu Ke chose after he completed the second ladder.

"The Hand of Heavenly Tribulation" will also become his first "Taoist Art".

Comparable to this!
The martial arts and the way of the soul that "Xie Guan" pursues in this life are obviously more profound.

When Yu Ke thought about it this way, the world was still the original world, but the version of cultivation had changed after the revival of spiritual energy.

Then, the realm that Xie Guan can reach in this life will far exceed Lu Chen.

He took a look at the huge tripod in front of him that exuded an ancient charm.

"A Ding, evolved again?"

"Now, Kunxu Realm 2.0 is activated!"

Yu Ke chooses directly.

3. It is recommended that Zhang Guangzu bring only one confidant with him to enter Zehu. (Hint: This may be helpful in the future.)
【Zhang Yunzhi has put away the topographic map of Zehu Lake. It seems that she has to think carefully about her reply to her father.】【You smiled and said: "I do have a story to tell Miss Zhi."】

[You stand up and write three lines on the rice paper on the stone table.]

【Xie Yuan also walked closer to see what was written on it.】

【“Between the geese and trees.”】

[“The transformation of dragon and snake.”]

[“If you don’t enter the dragon’s den, how can you achieve success?”]

【Xie Yuan didn't understand what he meant, but he just felt that his brother's cursive calligraphy was even more outstanding after not seeing him for a few days.】

[In the afternoon, the sky was a little cloudless, and the rare sunshine filled the courtyard. ]

[Winter came very late in Bianjing this year. Last year at this time, there were already a few snowfalls weighing down the branches.]

[Half a month ago, the leaves of the sycamore tree in the yard had almost all fallen, leaving only the treetops. When I was cleaning the sycamore tree, I picked up a few golden leaves and put them among the books.]

【You are dressed in a white robe and speak slowly in front of the phoenix tree: "There is a story in the Master's Mountain Tour."】

[“The Master once traveled through mountains and rivers with his disciples. On the way, he met a woodcutter chopping trees. The woodcutter was resting under a large lush tree, but the tree had not been chopped down.”]

[“The Master was curious and asked why. The woodcutter replied, ‘The wood of this tree is not good and is of little use.’ The Master then said to his disciples, ‘It is precisely because this tree is not good that it can enjoy its full lifespan.’”]

[“After the Master and his companions came out of the mountains, they stayed at a friend’s house. The friend was very happy and ordered his servants to kill a goose to entertain the Master.”]

[“The servant asked, ‘One goose crows, and the other is silent. Which one should I kill?’ The master replied, ‘Kill the one that doesn’t crow.’”]

[“The next day, the disciple asked the master for advice: ‘Yesterday, the big cypress tree in the mountain lived a long life because it was not good for use; today, the master’s goose was killed because it was not good for use. How will you deal with this, Master?’”]

[At this point, you paused for a moment and looked at the two of them with a smile.]

[The performers around me mostly learn to "please people" or are good at performing strange and tricky tricks, but few of them are truly well-educated.]

[Only Xie Hou'er, the person Xie Yuan trusted the most, had a thoughtful look on his face.]

【Xie Yuan smiled and said: "Brother Guan, I naturally know that the Master replied to his disciple that I will be between being a talent and not being a talent."】

[“This is the origin of the story between Yan Mu and Yan Yan.”]

[You nodded slightly and looked towards Zhang Yunzhi but it seemed as if you were not talking to her.]

[“A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind; a person who stands out from the crowd will be criticized by others. The wood is preserved because it is useless, but the wild goose is destroyed by the kitchen knife because it is useless.”]

[“When the time is not right, it is like a fallen snake, crouching in the grass, living with ants, living in muddy holes, eating dirty things, in order to survive.”]

[“When the time comes, he can ascend to heaven as a dragon, soar thousands of miles, call the wind and rain, swallow clouds and spit out mist, and rain down sweet dew, showing his talents to the fullest.”]

[“Therefore, a gentleman should hide his abilities among the geese and trees, waiting for the right time to act like a dragon or a snake.”]

【Xie Houzi served quietly at the side, bowing his head slightly. Although his face looked normal, his heart could not calm down for a long time. He thought to himself that it was not a shame to be born in a humble family. Only a man who could bend and stretch himself could be a real man. Isn't this just like Xie Houzi, who was sold as a prostitute since he was a child, but never resigned himself to his fate!】

【Xie Yuanze was listening to this and shook his head. He just thought this was quite interesting. He was born into a wealthy family and had been living a life of luxury since childhood. Naturally, he had never experienced the feeling of depression and frustration, so he couldn't empathize with them.】

[“Master Zhang has been in Zehu for many years. He must have known that this Zehu can really be moved by one person?”]

[You looked at the sky outside the courtyard and said with a smile: "Aren't the ups and downs of the world in the Great Qi, in Bianjing, and in this court?"]

【Hearing this, Zhang Yunzhi slowly raised her head, with a glimmer of light in her eyes. She understood that if her father wanted to fulfill his ambition, he had to return to Bianjing. Otherwise, everything would be just empty talk.】

[She looked down at the two lines of words on the paper, and the last line "If you don't enter the dragon's lair, how can you achieve success?", and her heart could not help but ripple. She turned to look at you and asked:]

[“How do you interpret this last sentence, Master Guan?”]

[“Master Zhang, if you want to return to Bianjing, you must have made achievements. If you don’t venture into the tiger’s den, you won’t get the tiger cub; if you don’t venture into the dragon’s lair, you won’t get the achievements.”]

[“All you need is a personal guard to accompany you and enter Ze Lake in an open and aboveboard manner, and you will be able to win a victory and return to the capital.”]

[Zhang Yunzhi frowned and asked worriedly: "Going into Zehu alone?"]

[You smiled and said: "Master Zhang is between the wild geese and trees, isn't this lake the same as this?"]

[“Zehu is in the middle of the Great Qi and the Great Sui. No matter which side is on either side, Zehu does not want to offend, nor dares to offend. Zehu cannot be too weak or he cannot be used as a chess piece, nor can he be too strong to provoke the hatchet.”]

[Compared with the director of the Demon Slayer Division of Jiannan Dao and the entire Zehu Lake, which one is more important? ]

[Zhang Yunzhi pondered over the effectiveness of this method and felt conflicted. She really didn't dare to let her father take the risk.]

【She is about to speak.】

【at this time!】

[You have already looked outside the courtyard, and a group of people are standing at the door, seemingly disdainful and not entering the courtyard.]

[A voice of a young servant in green clothes came from outside, "Master Guan, are you there?"]

[This was followed by a surprised female voice. ]

[“Sister Yuzhi, Xie Yuan, why are you guys here!”]

【Xie Yuan and a group of singing girls and servants in the courtyard all looked over.】

【I saw a woman standing at the door. 】

[The woman looked about 13 or 14 years old, wearing a red jacket with patterns, and was a little petite, a little shorter than Zhang Yuzhi. She wore a jade bracelet that had been gleamed, which made her wrists and fingers look as white as skin.]

[She has two braids on her head, and her facial features are pretty and cute, but at this moment there is surprise in her eyes.]

[The person who came was Xie Qiyue, the youngest daughter of Xie Hong from the Second Hospital.]

【Xie Yuan was surprised. Why did she come here today? 】

【Xie Qiyue originally didn't want to step into the courtyard, but when she saw her two friends, she came over happily, followed by four or five maids.】

【Zhang Yunzhi saw this and asked curiously: "Qiyue, why are you here?"】

【Xie Qiyue walked in and said: "Father, let me invite...him"】

[She thought that she couldn't call out the word "cousin" so she pointed at you.]

[She doesn't recognize Xie Guan as her cousin anyway.]

【After hearing this, Xie Yuan was greatly surprised and said: "Uncle Mingshan wants to see Brother Guan!"】
