Chapter 342: Rest (Part )
The world is not black and white. More often than not, gray is the background color of this world.

However, no matter how dark and disappointing the nature of the world is, it always has its own unique standard for measuring right and wrong; that is a person's "conscience".

At least when the old man finished his last words, the thousands of soldiers watching around him fell silent.

It turns out that the Jixia Academy, which claimed to be absolutely fair and just, was only shouting this seemingly righteous slogan because the situation required it?

It turns out that in the minds of the unparalleled great sages and the eternal wise, they, the small soldiers, are actually just material and capital that can be sacrificed and exchanged at any time?

Why would the Moonlight Girl risk her life to protect the Demon God's Son, and why would Zhuge Liang protect him? At first, the soldiers couldn't figure it out, but now they seem to understand.

Indeed, as Zhuge Liang said, bloodline cannot be used as a yardstick to judge a person's goodness or badness, the most important thing is whether the person's behavior deviates from the bottom line of human ethics.

But has Wang Yao ever done anything that is against the will of heaven and earth? No.

On the contrary, during the three years since he came to Shu, he never killed soldiers indiscriminately like a hero, nor did he put on airs. Not only did he repeatedly make great achievements, he also led Shu to defeat Wu and Wei. When he was a captain of a thousand men, he was also recognized as an officer who treated his subordinates best. Otherwise, it would not have been possible for Wang Yao to ascend to the high position of governor so smoothly in his later years, and to have such a high prestige in the Shu army.

So, honestly speaking, does such a person have to be killed on the spot just because he might be related to the ancient evil god? Aren't all so-called demon kings murderous monsters who harm all living things? If so, does Wang Yao count?

Was the Jixia Academy taking precautions or eliminating dissidents?

Doubts and doubts are quietly spreading
After feeling that the atmosphere around him was becoming increasingly strange, the old man finally came to his senses at this moment.

It seems that his student is trying to give him a taste of his own medicine? ! !
Just like before, the old man could easily destroy Wang Yao's prestige in the Shu army with just a few words, and then make the act of killing Wang Yao completely justified!
When necessary, killing a person requires a reason, otherwise it is not enough to convince the public. The same is true for saving a person.

Sometimes words are sharper than a blade, because they can kill people without being seen! Because he knew this, Zhuge Liang intentionally or unintentionally guided the soldiers to question whether the behavior of Jixia Academy was correct or normal!

This is exactly the result Zhuge Liang wanted!
"How dare you!!" After figuring out the details, the old man was so furious!

Unexpectedly, he would be tricked by the student he taught. What puzzlement? He said such a long speech, but he just wanted to whitewash the descendants of the demon god! !

"As my most proud disciple, how dare you be so ungrateful and ungrateful? Have you forgotten that you are from Jixia?!"

Facing the old master's curse, Zhuge Liang just said with a sullen face: "I will never forget my roots. I am a Jixia man in this life and a Jixia soul in my death! But I will never forget that you once taught me that the reason why people are human beings is because they have conscience. A person who abandons conscience will eventually be abandoned by the world! I just don't want to see you, teacher, getting deeper and deeper into trouble after abandoning your former beliefs!"

Looking at Zhuge Liang who was equally stubborn, the old man, who was extremely angry, slowly calmed down again.

In fact, for those who have great wisdom at their level, once their ideas conflict, they are doomed to be incompatible.

Because neither of them could convince the other.

Therefore, even at this moment, Wan Gu Chang Ming still had a determined look on his face: "Do you think I will stop just like this? Today, I must take this descendant of the demon god away. If necessary, I will not hesitate to kill all the soldiers here!"

Seeing his teacher who had fallen into extreme despair and couldn't extricate himself, Zhuge Liang finally couldn't bear it anymore and exploded.

"Teacher! Can you please not be so cruel and ruthless?! Is this the fairness and justice you always talk about?! Even if they are of different bloodlines, they are all lives just like us! Why are you still so pedantic and stubborn! Just like Brother Xiang Yu back then, he obviously did nothing wrong. He just wanted to liberate the people of Chu and Han. Is giving them freedom also a mistake?!"

This time, the old man, who was questioned by Zhuge Liang again, stopped arguing. He just stared at the hatred that flashed across Zhuge Liang's eyes and asked in a hoarse voice, "Have you always hated me in your heart?"

Zhuge Liang lowered his head slightly, and his silver bangs covered his eyes.

At that moment, he silently clenched his fists.

"Yes!" He gritted his teeth and spoke out the resentment that had been buried for many years. "It's not just Brother Xiang Yu, the third generation of Cang Tian Xiang Long and the fourth generation of Guangming Hai back then were also like this. Maybe they were indeed inconsiderate in their actions, but their crimes did not deserve death! You also promised me that as long as I told you where they were hiding, you would forgive them after finding them, but what did you do later?!"

This is why Zhao Yun, the Flying Dragon of today, has always resented Zhuge Liang, because the "traitor" back then was Zhuge Liang!

It was Zhuge Liang who revealed their hiding place to Wan Gu Chang Ming, which led to the subsequent tragic ending.

But in the end, it was only after Zhuge Liang received Wan Gu Chang Ming's promise that he became honest and hopeful. However, even he could not have imagined that Wan Gu Chang Ming, who was revered as a great sage by the world, would betray his faith and raise the butcher knife against his own student.

"After all these years, don't you feel any guilt at all for their deaths?!"

The old man was silent.

It was not because he was giving in. As the strongest man in the world, Wan Gu Chang Ming had faith and mental strength that would never be shaken. He remained silent only because he knew that he could not defeat his student with words alone, and he did not want to argue anymore!

"No matter what, you must protect this descendant of the demon god today, right?" The old man slowly closed his eyes, his face full of gloom.

"Yes, because he deserves it." Zhuge Liang looked back at the silent figure.

"No matter what era it is, there will always be people who stray from the so-called righteous path. Fortunately, Wang Yao is such a person. I believe he has seen a peaceful world that we have never seen. Perhaps that world is not our King's Continent, but in another distant place, but I saw the possibility of realization in his eyes, so I placed all my bets on him, just like Brother Xiang Yu!"

After receiving a clear response from Zhuge Liang——

"Kong Ming, my most proud student, you really disappoint me tonight."

"It's a waste of all the effort I spent on training you!" With a heavy and long sigh, when the old man opened his eyes again, the earth trembled and the night sky was dark and silent!
When communication cannot resolve conflicts, fighting becomes the only way to solve them!

Click——

The terrifying cracks began to spread out from Wan Gu Chang Ming to the surrounding areas. The seemingly skinny and hunched figure, at this moment, burst out with a terrifying momentum that was superior to the heavens! !

At this moment, the world's strongest man, who defeated Wang Yao's Wan Gu Chang Ming with just one move, is about to attack again!
but--

Before the old master could launch an attack, Zhuge Liang raised his hand to stop him: "Stop, Master. You raised me and taught me everything, so you should know that I will not fight with you."

With his hair and beard flying wildly, Wan Gu Chang Ming looked solemn with a face as ferocious as tree bark: "At this point, do you still think this can end peacefully?"

"Yes!" Zhuge Liang gave a firm reply.

Because he had already arranged everything.

It started two years ago!

"Now I no longer know what is right or wrong, but I have lived under your shadow all my life. Today, I just want to follow my inner choice." The low murmur echoed heavily between heaven and earth. Zhuge Liang raised his hand and gently spread out his five fingers.

Zheng——

A tiny speck of light slowly emerged from the palm of his hand and slowly broke free from the shackles of gravity and floated in the air.

Although it was only a particle of light the size of a grain of rice, its brightness was brighter and holier than the full moon in the sky, and it instantly illuminated the entire dark highland as bright as day!
That was the finale that Zhuge Liang had been preparing for two whole years, and it was also the only pause that could end this battle!
