Crossing the Sword

Chapter 137 Questions

"What?" Ye Shisan opened his mouth in surprise when he heard Bai Yu's suggestion to ask him to be a guide. Then he shook his head like a rattle and denied it repeatedly: "No, no, this is absolutely not possible! How can I be your guide? I can't even tell the direction myself, and you want me to guide you..." He seemed to think this was a very unfunny joke.

Seeing him refuse, Bai Yu immediately said unhappily, "We know each other after all, and you are going to refuse this request?"

Seeing her unhappy look, Ye Shisan couldn't bear it and explained immediately: "It's not a rejection. But you also know that this is my first time here and I don't know the way at all. Naturally, I am not qualified for this job. If you let me lead the way, aren't you afraid that I will lead you lost and can't find your way home?"

Bai Yu saw his bitter face and laughed, "Actually, I just think it's boring to be alone. On the way here, every time you see something, you can say something new. I think this is much better than just appreciating the scenery. If you don't deny it, it means you agree."

Gonggong saw them talking and laughing, and a kind smile appeared on his face. He teased Ye Shisan, "Shisan, you really don't know how to appreciate the blessing you have. Baiyu is recognized as the most beautiful woman in Shenzhou, and you, a bad boy, don't know how to seize the opportunity. You really don't understand romance. If you don't agree, I will volunteer to take over this job."

"Uncle Gonggong!" Although Bai Yu was innocent, she immediately realized that Gonggong was making fun of her when she heard about seizing the opportunity and not understanding romance. She blushed and said, "You are really getting more and more frivolous. You actually make fun of others. Thirteen is my buddy, don't think wrongly!"

Gong Gong chuckled and said, "I'm really sorry, I've already got the wrong idea."

Ye Shisan was speechless when he saw Gonggong's expression. He didn't expect Gonggong to make such a joke. He didn't look like a master of the God King level at all. He shook his head and said to Gonggong: "Senior..."

Gonggong put away his smile and waved his hand to stop him, saying: "You already have the prerequisites to become a God-King level master. Your future achievements will be limitless. You should change your title. If you don't mind, just call me Brother Gonggong." Now in Gonggong's heart, he already regarded Ye Shisan as a future God-King level master, so he decided to use a title that was equal to him.

Ye Shisan was confused for a moment, wondering why Gonggong's attitude suddenly changed. Although he didn't pay much attention to seniority before, he still addressed them as senior and junior. How come when he came out of seclusion, the senior became the big brother? Of course, he didn't think that his change made Gonggong feel pressured. Although he was confident, he hadn't reached the level of arrogance.

Gonggong saw his bewildered look and explained, "When your sword heart was perfected just now, a celestial phenomenon actually appeared. Maybe you didn't know it during your retreat, but it was a spectacular scene of ten thousand swords worshipping you. All the precious swords in Shenzhou worshipped you. If you don't believe me, you can ask Bai Yu."

Bai Yu finally showed a look of surprise, and looked Ye Shisan up and down in disbelief, saying, "Uncle Gonggong, you said that he was the one who caused that celestial phenomenon?"

Gong Gong nodded, answering Bai Yu's words. Then he said to Ye Shisan, "When a person's Yuanying is fully developed, the direction of his development is determined. And everyone who can trigger celestial phenomena when Yuanying is fully developed will eventually become a master of the God King level. In the future, we will all be on equal footing. Therefore, it is better for us to call each other brothers, so as to avoid the trouble of changing our words in the future."

Seeing Gonggong's serious tone, Ye Shisan had to respectfully call out, "Brother Gonggong." Then he continued the previous topic, "It is of course my honor to accompany Baiyu to play, but I have already promised Jingwei that I will participate in the 'Xinrui Master Competition', I am afraid..."

Gong Gong shook his head and said, "Don't worry about that. Bai Yu will also participate this year."

Ye Shisan knew that it would not delay the pilgrimage, so he agreed immediately. Gonggong took out a black crystal necklace and threw it to Zhang Tianya, saying, "Shisan, there is a small mountain near Buzhou Mountain, named Yinghuo, and it is said that there is a mysterious treasure hidden in it. According to the calculation of the Green Emperor, this place will be opened in three years. And this necklace is the key to unlocking this treasure. There are nine necklaces in total, and we should be able to put them together by then. I am not interested in any treasures now, and you also need experience, so go and try your luck when the time comes."

It would have been better if he hadn't looked at it. After looking at it, Ye Shisan was surprised to find that this necklace was too familiar to him. He got one when he robbed Shansai, and later sold it to Bai Yu's sister Tian Nu Ba. He got another one in Youdu City, and he still has it. And he always felt that this thing was related to Xing Tian, ​​so he simply took out his necklace and said, "Brother Gonggong, I also have this necklace. I never thought it was related to some treasure."

Bai Yu pointed at Ye Shisan and added, "The one in my house was also bought from this guy by my sister."

Gong Gong laughed and said, "It seems that Thirteen and this treasure are really destined to be together. Haha, you should keep this too."

Ye Shisan put away the two necklaces, and Bai Yu said, "Then we will go first, go directly in the direction of Taihao, and have fun all the way back to participate in the competition."

Ye Shisan also bowed to Gonggong and said goodbye, but Gonggong stopped him and said, "Shisan, before you leave, I have one more thing to say. Although you will definitely become a God King in the future, I think this sentence will still be helpful to you."

Upon hearing that it would be helpful for cultivation, Ye Shisan immediately asked, "Brother Gonggong, please give me some advice. I will definitely keep it in mind."

Gong Gong took a deep breath and said meaningfully: "Do you know what the biggest difference between humans and gods is?"

Ye Shisan knew that Gonggong’s next words were the key, so he shook his head and did not interrupt.

Gong Gong continued, "If people are in desperate situations, they can still pray to God. But if God is in desperate situations, what should he do?" After a pause, he continued, "Just remember this question. I can't give you the answer. When you find your own answer, you will be a master of the God King level."

Ye Shisan nodded as if he understood, then said goodbye and left with Bai Yu.

After leaving Gonggongtai, Ye Shisan kept thinking over the words Gonggong left him, "If a person encounters a desperate situation, he can still pray to God. But if God encounters a desperate situation, what should he do?"

When people pray to God, they also know that the gods will not show up to save them. All they need is a hope. Yes, hope. Whether it is God or man, what they need in difficult times is hope. People can numb themselves with faith, but what about God? Where is God's hope?
