C1369 In Order to Achieve Great Things One must Castrate Oneself First
These words, one word at a time, were like a heavy punch, viciously smashing into the part of Yao Guangxiao that felt guilty the most!
There were gains and losses in this world. As Lin Bai had said, his companion was like a tiger accompanying a monarch, not to mention the one who had rebelled against his nephew like Zhu Di. Not to mention that Yao Guangxiao didn't have a name like Liu Bowen, even if he had a great reputation like Liu Bowen, it was impossible for Zhu Di to listen to everything he said.
If they didn't believe him, they could tell from the things that their ancestor had done. In the past generations, if he could be like Zhu Yuanzhang, slaughtering every single one of the founding ancestors without leaving even a single strand of hair behind, he was probably the only one left.
Needless to say, the things that Yao Guangxiao had urged Zhu Di to do were things that were considered outrageous at the time. It was just as Lin Bai had said. If he, Yao Guangxiao, could persuade Zhu Di to rebel today, then it was impossible to guarantee that this old man would feel uncomfortable and not urge him to act against the vassal lords. Or perhaps he could rebel by himself and let the Yao Family take over the Zhu Family.
The monarch mental cultivation method was the hardest thing to guess in this world. How could Yao Guangxiao not know what was going on? How could he not know that Zhu Di was suspicious of him? Moreover, if he didn't make some sacrifices, then by the end of the war, the promises that Zhu Di had made to him before he started the army would be completely overthrown. Furthermore, he would find a reason to throw himself into the prison.
Why did he, Yao Guangxiao, urge the army? It was all for the sake of plunging the world into chaos and shaking the dragon veins. If a person were to be locked up in the prison and fall into the hands of those Imperial Secret Service members who treated torture as food, even if he had three heads and six arms, he would have no chance of survival.
Therefore, he had to cut off this possibility and find a way to let himself escape unscathed. In that situation, the best way was to castrate himself and turn him into a eunuch in every sense of the word. Only by becoming someone with no roots like this could Zhu Di be able to treat him with confidence and not be afraid of him.
Thus, he, Yao Guangxiao, decided to castrate himself before the battle even started. He became Zhu Di's first candidate to express his loyalty to him. Furthermore, at that time, from the point of view of Yao Guangxiao, he originally wanted to protect that tiny bit of Yuan Yang and not let it escape from his body.
One had to say, this kind of ruthless move naturally made people look at him in a new light. When Zhu Di received Yao Guangxiao's vote, he felt disgusted for a while. However, when he saw Yao Guangxiao's pained expression, he couldn't help but sigh. He believed Yao Guangxiao was truly loyal to him.
However, in the current environment, especially in the eyes of the ancients, the most important thing was to have your body covered in skin and your parents would not dare to harm you. Those teachers who had read so many poetry books did not even dare to cut a strand of their hair, let alone lose their lifeblood.
Furthermore, throughout the history of China, ever since the appearance of the eunuchs, these people had never been seen by anyone. In fact, once they did something like this, they did not even have the right to be recorded in the genealogy or even the memorial tablets.
Even in the inner court, which was also the Ming dynasty, where the eunuchs were extremely powerful, the people in the world would loathe these eunuchs once they were mentioned. Moreover, once he became a eunuch, he would be the dog of Old Zhu's family for the rest of his life.
Yao Guangxiao had made such a huge sacrifice, but Zhu Di had proven his loyalty. However, this Zhu Di was a considerate person. He knew that Yao Guangxiao valued his reputation the most, so he couldn't let him off the hook. Thus, he helped him to suppress this matter. However, whether or not this matter was used as evidence against Yao Guangxiao was something only this old man of the emperor himself knew.
However, no matter what, once this matter was done, everyone was happy. Zhu Di had lost all caution towards Yao Guangxiao, and had confided in him. He had even treated him as a friend and had even given him a generous reward.
However, the bad thing about Yao Guangxiao was that he didn't have anything else, so his doubts were a little too serious. He always felt that there was no such thing as a wall that didn't leak out. If news got out, his reputation in this life would be completely ruined, and he might even become the laughing stock of the entire world.
At that time, Yao Guangxiao had also been thinking that the technique he was cultivating was a little pure Yang, so cutting off his lifeline wasn't much of a big deal. However, if he wanted to practice this art, he would have to castrate himself first and it wouldn't have much of an impact. However, what he did not expect was that the luck in the human body was amazing. Which part was ineffective? With a cut of his life root, the Yin and Yang in his body suddenly lost their balance.
Not only did he fail to protect his Pure Yang energy, he even felt that he was a bit evasive. He felt more comfortable in that cold and gloomy place, and even his personality became a bit sinister.
Stealing a chicken was a waste. How could Yao Guangxiao endure this anger? Furthermore, his life was gone. Even if he wanted to spread his influence in this world, he had no way to do so. This made him even more depressed. However, in his mind, since the gate of immortality had been opened, since he could have people fight for his longevity, there might even be a way for him to regrow his body and regrow his lifeblood on the other side.
It was for this reason that he was particularly interested in opening the Door of Immortality.
However, aside from Zhu Di, he was the only one who knew about this matter, and he treated it as his greatest secret. However, he had never expected that at the critical moment of the Celestial Gate's opening, Lin Bai would actually kick his sore spot.
"Eunuch Yao, I wonder if you think what I've said is right?" Lin Bai smiled as he looked at Yao Guangxiao and spoke slowly. The teasing tone in his voice became increasingly serious, and there was even a trace of disdain in his words.
Having his greatest secret discovered by someone else, and to be stabbed in the heart by his own eyes, Yao Guangxiao's anger skyrocketed. He could only feel fresh blood rushing into his brain; whatever immortal gate it was, any grand scheme was better than tearing Lin Bai's face apart!
Seeing Yao Guangxiao's expression, the smile on Lin Bai's face grew brighter and brighter, but deep in his eyes, there was a trace of sympathy.
It had to be said that this Yao Guangxiao was truly cruel to himself. He actually wanted to achieve great things by castrating himself first.
However, the truth was that this secret was not revealed by Lin Bai himself. Rather, after he advanced to the Void Refinement Stage, his mastery of Yin and Yang had reached an unprecedented level. Just now when he was sizing up Yao Guangxiao, he found that this person's body had more than enough Yin Qi and lacked Yang Qi. Furthermore, there was no way to make up for the remaining Yang Qi.
It had to be known that Yao Guangxiao had frankly admitted before that he was the oldest virgin in history. How could such an old virgin like him have become yin and yang energy, and even lose the foundation for yang energy to make up for it? There was only one reason for such a situation. That was, that person was a eunuch who cut off his life and became a rootless person.
Thinking back to the situation at that time, Lin Bai became increasingly certain of this conjecture. At the time he came to this conclusion, Lin Bai was actually a little sympathetic towards Yao Guangxiao. In order to accomplish this so-called great deed, he had to pay such a price. Only he could understand the outcome. In fact, Lin Bai actually felt some sympathy for these eunuchs.
These so-called eunuchs were actually just victims of the imperial power. Unless they were those who were truly perverts, who would be willing to use the method of cutting off one's life to show their loyalty and bring their city to the emperor's family?
Furthermore, looking at Yao Guangxiao's fame and his wild desire to surpass Uncle Liu, he was afraid that when he made this decision at that time, he would hesitate before deciding, hesitating before deciding.
After that, for countless days and nights, they sighed endlessly and were filled with hatred. As for regret, looking at this old friend's character and his vicious schemes, the personality of him putting dirty water on someone else was something that he would never do.
Originally, Lin Bai did not want to bring up this chapter, but as Yao Guangxiao had said, even though he had the help of the three Scarlet Fruits that were condensed from the medicine doll's life essence and the nourishment from the Great Way of Life, after facing the lightning tribulation, Lin Bai's body still suffered from no small amount of injuries. Furthermore, after breaking through to the Spirit Refinement realm, his cultivation had not yet stabilized.
At this moment, although his cultivation base was a head above Yao Guangxiao, his cultivation base was still around the same level. If he wanted to close the gate of immortality, he had to pass through Yao Guangxiao. If he wanted to have more chances of winning, he could only use this kind of method that could not be considered an open and honorable method of killing.
He had used the greatest secret in Yao Guangxiao's heart to stir up his weakness, causing his mind to be thrown into disarray, and his mind to be thrown into disarray! As long as his mind was in a mess and he moved his mind, Yao Guangxiao's dao heart would also be moved. This way, under the current situation, he would be able to save a lot of energy and increase his chances of winning by a notch.
Even though this method was not fair, but when Yao Guangxiao had dealt with him earlier, those methods might not be too brilliant. Although he had lost his heart, this method was still a way to repay the opposite.
Especially after he saw Yao Guangxiao's angry and breathless expression, Lin Bai understood that this trick of his had worked.
"In order to achieve great success, one must commit suicide. Eunuch Yao, you sure are reluctant to part with your life. What a pity, this so-called master is actually a eunuch. He's an incomplete person who has lost his life. This is truly like a joke."
"Eunuch Yao, since your plans are so good, why don't you help me guess what would happen if this matter were to spread and the world were to find out that the Black Cloaked Prime Minister of the Dao Yan was actually a eunuch?" Since he didn't want to do anything else, Lin Bai decided to pour a few more spoonfuls of oil over the fire so that Yao Guangxiao's dao heart wouldn't be more stable.
"I will kill you!" As Lin Bai expected, as soon as he said those two words, Yao Guangxiao's eyes were bloodshot, his entire body was like a barrel of gunpowder, completely ignited. Staring at Lin Bai, he said carelessly, "As long as I kill you, this secret will be forever sealed. As long as I step into the gate of immortality, I can be myself again!"
