C127 Divine Spirit Body
"Divine Spirit Body? What is that? " Gongsun Ztian was very puzzled. Recently, he had been grinding hard on his books. However, he had never heard of this name before.
"According to an ancient book, there was a reference to this' Divine Spirit Body '. The most obvious manifestation of a person with this physique would be the mental state of an adult at birth, as well as their extraordinary talent. " Huangfu Wuji explained, at the same time he smiled thoughtfully, as if he was a clever hunter watching a cunning prey that was about to enter a trap he had set beforehand.
"You are the one who saw through this and thus determined that I am the one who possesses this kind of 'Divine Spirit Body'?" It dawned on Gongsun Ze Tian. Only now did he understand why this old man was not surprised at all by what he had just displayed.
Gongsun Ztian carefully recalled every single move he made when he first met this old man. Even when he was out of control from excitement, his actions and expression were all very obscure. How did he know about this?
"That's right. But opportunity and crisis coexist. In the past, people with this kind of physique would either cause chaos on the continent, or bring endless wars on the continent. Similarly, there are many forces that do not want a single one of them to grow up and reach a level where they can cover the sky with one hand. Thus, those who discover this kind of physique will be mercilessly killed. " Huangfu Wuji felt that his cunning opponent had already fallen into the trap he had set up, but he still had to explain what he should do.
Huangfu Wuji looked at Gongsun Zaitian who was deep in thought sitting on the chair, paused for a while, and continued: "So, many years ago, people with this kind of physique were classified as public enemies of the continent, so of course many powers would choose to protect this kind of people. "As far as I know, there has been a mysterious force that has taken away people with this kind of physique in the past hundred years. However, it is unknown whether they have been killed or left to nurture them!"
"Are the people who were abducted all sure that they are existences of the 'Divine Spirit Body'?"
"That's not the case. Perhaps I just mistakenly thought that even the families of the children did not know about these things. Perhaps it is not this kind of physique, but it is also possible that there is this kind of physique. After all, this physique is real, just like yours! " Huangfu Wuji replied.
"Does that mean someone will come and kidnap me?" Gongsun Ztian scoffed a little disdainfully. He was not like those powerless infants. He had just struck down a ladle in the early morning. At the very least, it proved that he had not failed in his previous studies.
"Of course, no matter how good one's innate talent or physique is, they would always be extremely weak in their youth! That is why, you are in danger right now! " Huangfu Wuji said somewhat alarmingly.
"Since you said so, you must have found a way out for me, right?" Gongsun Zaitian thought for a moment and immediately understood the old man's intentions. He was trying to force him to join the fray and force him to join Liang Shan.
"That's right, I just don't know if you're willing or not!" Huangfu Wuji's fox tail had finally been revealed. One could see how happy he was in his heart from that cunning smile on his face.
"Tell me about it first!" Gongsun Zaitian was not a fool, how could he say whatever he wanted? Although he was a curious baby, he was not someone who could be manipulated by others.
"This ?" Huangfu Wuji hesitated, he was afraid that his condition would be immediately rejected, but somehow, he suddenly felt that this' infant's body, an adult's brain ', was not as simple as he thought it would be.
"What is it? The conditions are too harsh? Bring it up, afraid that I won't do it? " He had already guessed this long ago. All the politicians were like B * tches, trying to squeeze out as many opponents as they could. If they couldn't do this, then they could only pay the price with their lives in the political battle.
After all, Gongsun Zaitian had traveled to a hundred lifetimes before. Even if he didn't personally experience it, he had never seen a pig running and a pig eating pork? What's more, he was not a noob. He had personally experienced all kinds of cruel political battles.
And what Huangfu Wuji displayed could already be considered a relatively friendly method. Although there was no lack of schemes and traps, at least it was the more direct type, at least it did not make Gongsun Ze Tian feel disgusted, because he knew that the old man's ultimate goal might be to do him harm.
"The original conditions are definitely a bit harsh, but since it's a negotiation, of course it's a bargaining process." However, after all, he had survived the political battles for many years. No matter how embarrassed he was, his thick skin would be enough to not notice anything strange.
"Alright, tell me then. Since we can bargain, then I have my conditions as well. At the same time, I'm also very curious. What can you use me for? Or what can I bring you? " Gongsun Ztian sat up straight as if he was going to negotiate. He looked at the old man across from him with a serious expression, waiting for his answer.
"I know, you know my background and identity, so I won't beat around the bush. I want you to join the Imperial Overwatch Council to receive its training and guidance. At the same time, I hope you can acknowledge me as your master!" Huangfu Wuji straightforwardly stated his own conditions.
"This way, you can guarantee the safety of my so-called 'Divine Spirit Body'?" Gongsun Ztian curled his lips and asked in a disdainful manner.
"Of course, the appearances of the Divine Spirit Body s are usually in their infancy, it would be hard to determine when they mature. Furthermore, if you are able to receive the Surveillance Council's nurture, your childhood will be conducted in a sealed environment. No one will know anything about you, so no one will know the difference between your personality and yours. " Huangfu Wuji explained.
"Is there any difference between this and disguised house arrest? Without freedom, then what is the difference between you and those mysterious powers? " Gongsun Zaitian was still unable to tell whether he was happy or angry, but from his tone, he could hear a certain kind of questioning.
"Hehe, I knew you would ask that. Actually, I think more highly of your talent, or else I wouldn't be talking to you about this. Do not think that entering the Surveillance Council to undergo closed door training is a simple matter, the children of those large families could not even enter while crying! There's a standard way for us to choose people. As the Principal of the Surveillance Council, I only have one recommendation and I even gave it to you. Huangfu Wuji flung the olive branch like he didn't want money.
"Not at all!" Gongsun Zaitian had his doubts about such conditions. One must know that a pie dropped from the heavens would kill a person. And one more thing, never believe anything politicians say to you. One moment they can treat you as a friend of life, the next they can stab you in the back for their own benefit, and it's the kind of knife that doesn't bleed.
"It seems that your appetite is quite big. How about this, my conditions are out. What are the conditions you want to bargain with?" Seeing Gongsun Zaitian's look of disdain, Huangfu Wuji did not continue to persuade him. Instead, he wanted to hear the conditions of this young master who had his own will.
"I can join your Surveillance Council, but I won't participate in any special training or anything like that. Gongsun Ztian also directly stated his conditions. After reading books for so many days, Gongsun Ze Tian had a certain understanding of Imperial Overwatch Council's organization. Furthermore, from his point of view, this organization was very efficient, he had even thought of joining this organization. After all, whether it was from the official perspective or the Jianghu faction, this organization was considered one of the top organizations.
"This ?" But how can that guarantee your safety? "You should know that your current situation could attract someone's attention at any time!" Huangfu Wuji didn't feel it was strange that he had agreed to join the Surveillance Council, but he did feel suspicious that he would stay in the outside world. After all, he had already explained to him earlier that the situation in the outside world posed a great threat to him.
"Have you seen that old man Duanmu?" Gongsun Zaitian did not answer Huangfu Wuji's question. Instead, he asked a completely different question.
"Yes!" Huangfu Wuji replied.
"Did he tell you about my condition?" Gongsun Ztian smiled and asked again.
"I've said it before, that's why I've come to personally check it out for you. After all, Brother Duanmu is skilled in the Way of Medicine, and he isn't particularly skilled in other aspects. Therefore, it's better for me to personally examine it for you." After all, I owe a favor to the ancestors of the Situ Family. I have to do my best to help. "However, when I see you again, I will no longer try to repay you for your kindness, and for the sake of you, a good sapling. I will definitely do everything I can to solve all of these troubles for you." Seeing that the brat mentioned this topic, Huangfu Wuji decided to explain it to him in the future.
"You sound quite touching. It's a pity that I can't cry and can't cooperate with you!" Gongsun Zaitian replied with a teasing tone. It wasn't because there wasn't any, but more of a joke. After all, he could see the kindness in the old man's eyes. He did not want to always be hostile towards an old man who was not bad either. That was a disrespect towards an old man that was worthy of admiration.
"Haha, good boy. In this world, the number of people who dare to make fun of me can be counted on one hand. However, looking at your age, you are still the first." Huangfu Wuji laughed, and did not mind.
"It's quite interesting chatting with you!" I say old man, are you really sure you can cure me? " Gongsun Ztian asked.
"No, but I have to see it before I can come to a conclusion. It's still too early to make a decision now!" Huangfu Wuji answered immediately. According to Duanmu Weili's description in his letter, this question was very thorny, and there was a possibility that he might not even have the slightest chance. After not having seen it, he couldn't make this conclusion so easily.
"I see that you are really bored, that's why you came all the way from the capital!" It's not that I'm underestimating you, it's that you can't handle the problems on my body! " Gongsun Zaitian helped Huangfu Wuji make a decision without any hesitation. In terms of experience, Huangfu Wuji would definitely not be able to match up to him. In terms of skill and vision, Huangfu Wuji might not even be able to match up to him. Thus, Gongsun Zaitian was able to determine with a single sentence that this old man would not have any solution.
"Perhaps, but even if I am unable to solve your problem, to be able to discover your existence is not too bad of a journey!" Huangfu Wuji stared at Gongsun Zaitian for a long time, and finally said while smiling.
In Huangfu Wuji's opinion, if Duanmu Weili's diagnosis was correct, the child in front of him would most likely be dead without a doubt, and might not even last twenty years. However, his expression and attitude right now told him that he didn't care about these things. Why, what made him have such a profound understanding of life and death? Even the person who stepped into the coffin wouldn't have such a calm mindset.
"Old man, has anyone ever told you that you're very optimistic and cheerful?" Gongsun Ztian did not pay attention to the old man in front of him who was distracted for a moment. Instead, he continued to ridicule him.
"No, there are a lot of people who say that I'm cold-blooded and heartless!" Huangfu Wuji replied seriously.
Huangfu Wuji no longer had the mindset before entering the room, but instead felt that although the person in front of him was young, he was still worthy of respect.
"Haha, it seems that there are still some people with good judgement!" But first, listen to why I made such a condition! " Gongsun Ztian changed the topic once again.
