In the bedroom, a woman with half a human face and half a skeleton was sitting cross-legged on the couch.
Moonless Harmonious Sky, ranked seventh in the nine heaven ranks set by the Temple of Heaven. She was a powerhouse with great prestige in the entire Heavenly Earth, and the actual ruler of tens of millions of people in the Palace of Heaven … In Wang Lu's expectation, she should be a heroic overlord. However, what he saw in front of him formed a very sharp contrast with his expectation. The legends about Moonless mentioned that she suffered injuries in the war with the Chaotic World and never healed them in her life. He thought that they were just some eye-catching scars, which could be used as a medal to show off her martial arts, but unexpectedly, this Moonless was really thorough in doing things. The so-called sacrifice of half of her body was actually literal.
The right half of Moonless's body was intact, but the left half was a skeleton. Part of her body was covered by her dress, but her head was exposed. Moonless's intact right eye was tightly closed, but the left eye socket of the skull was shining with a red light. The situation was extremely frightening … This honor alone was completely unexpected.
For Wang Lu, all unexpected situations were bad news. The other party was a battle-hardened Daoist Master of Deity Stage. In theory, his illusion technique could be seen at a glance. Even if she was essentially just a creation of the immortal dream land and was not as good as a genuine Deity Stage master, she was still a Deity Stage master. Before he came here, he had combined some rare materials left in his mustard seed bag, plus the props that he bought at a high price in Sky City to greatly strengthen his illusion technique. However, it was still unknown whether he could hide it from the eyes of a Daoist Master of Deity Stage. Without Li Yan's letter, Wang Lu would not have rashly come here. However, everything was basically based on a precise plan. If there was an unexpected situation … it would test his ability to adapt to the situation.
Of course, this ability was also available to Wang Lu, so he calmly entered the room and greeted them with a smile.
And what greeted him was the hearty laughter of Moonless.
"You are the two little guys that Li Yan introduced? Haha, come and sit down. "
Such a kind gesture was even more unexpected. Wang Lu even wondered if there was a publicity commissioner of her Temple of Heaven in this bedroom? As long as they recorded the conversation in the bedroom, they could publish a report tomorrow with the title: Lord Harmonious Heaven Meets the Grassroots People. This would show how approachable Lord Harmonious Heaven Is.
However, it was clear that no one else was waiting in Moonless's bedroom. Even the black-clothed maid, who had the highest position in the Black and Yellow sequence, could only wait outside the door. It was clear that this was a very private meeting.
"Don't stand on ceremony." After Wang Lu and Liu Li sat down on the praying mat, Moonless said, "Li Yan and I have been through life and death together. Although I haven't seen her for decades, I always remember her kindness. She said in the letter that the two of you are her new friends. Li Yan does not make friends easily. Since you can get her approval, it is equivalent to getting my approval. I treat you guys as friends, so you don't have to be so reserved. Please keep the gifts, I don't need them. "
After saying that, Moonless slightly restrained his smile.
"Li Yan said in the letter that you two have questions about cultivation that you want to ask me? Yes, in recent years, there are fewer and fewer people who have the heart and sincerity to cultivate immortality, and more and more people are obsessed with fame and fortune. "
Hearing this, Wang Lu just wanted to laugh, thinking, "You, a standard bureaucrat politician, have the nerve to criticize others?"
Moonless seemed to have seen through Wang Lu's thoughts and slowly replied, "To deal with worldly affairs, I only use the left side of the dead body."
Wang Lu froze for a moment, and then said with a smile, "Very well, then I won't be polite. First of all, I want to ask … Do you want to comprehend the immortal path through the convergence of life and death? "
Upon hearing this, Moonless opened his right eye.
"No wonder Li Yan spoke so highly of you in the letter. Those mediocre people only think that I'm showing off my scars, but they never thought that with my current status, who else do I need to show off? You're right, I do use life and death to approach the immortal path … "
With that, Moonless suddenly laughed. "Apart from that, what else can you see?"
"Life and death, yin and yang, black and white … All the contradictory and unified concepts should be reflected in you. Your left and right halves are entrusted with quite a lot of things. It should be said that you're trying to use this method … to make up for your congenital defects? "
Hearing this, Moonless burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, well said. No wonder a talent like you would wander outside the Temple of Heaven's system. That old-fashioned theology can't satisfy you."
Wang Lu said, "No wonder you and Li Yan, who are friends of life and death, haven't seen each other for decades. Compared to that lazy but devout Li Yan, you should be tied to the stake. But from another point of view, if not, you would not be qualified to control the Palace of Heaven, a big city.
For an organization in charge of the regime, idealists are not qualified to rise to a high position. "
After receiving Moonless' encouragement, Wang Lu simply bluntly said, "We are not perfect creatures. I think all things in this world are divided into yin and yang, only we have no gender. When I asked Li Yan, she only said that it was the will of the Heaven, but I don't think so. So, I want to ask Master Moonless, what is your opinion? "
"The will of the Heaven? Unexpectedly, after not seeing her for decades, Li Yan has learned to deceive herself. " Moonless suddenly sneered, "How does a Human Middle Immortal come to be, other people don't know, but how could she not know? She just doesn't want to admit it. "
With that, Moonless closed his right eye and said in a deep voice, "You guessed it right, human beings do have a gender distinction, and we are the yin side. In theory, there should be a yin side corresponding to us."
Wang Lu nodded and said, "Sure enough … But, why does the Temple of Heaven deliberately conceal this news? This is not good for the development of Heavenly Earth, right? Obviously imperfect, but they think they are perfect. Obviously, they have a natural yin physique, but they think they have both yin and yang. This cognitive deviation is a great obstacle to cultivation. "
"You want to know?" Moonless asked with interest, "Are you sure you want to know the answer? For you, since you have guessed the yin and yang division, you will no longer be affected by the cognitive barrier, so why bother to explore the secret behind it? "
"Curiosity is the driving force of progress."
"Well said. That being the case, I will let you have a look. "With that, Moonless stood up and clapped his hands.
Wang Lu only saw a slender and soft palm touch a pale bone claw twice, and then the bedroom door was pushed open by the maid in black.
"I want to take the guests to see my collection. You lead the way."
— —
Moonless's collection was built in the underground part of Moon Capital. The group of people, led by the maid in black, walked slowly in the deep corridor. Along the way, there were countless kinds of traps. The maid in black who led the way used more than 30 kinds of props as keys to avoid them one by one, and finally led the three people to the entrance of the collection.
Normally, no matter how precious the treasure was, it would not be so heavily guarded. Moreover, the really important things were generally carried by the cultivators. Therefore, seeing the lineup at the entrance, Wang Lu faintly felt that what he would see next would not be anything good.
Sure enough, after opening the door of the collection, the maid who led the way hurriedly retreated, as if she had a deep fear of the things in the collection.
Moonless stepped in generously. Behind the door was a spacious and deep hall. As Moonless entered, it suddenly became brightly lit, so that people could see the collection in the collection.
The moment his vision became clear, Wang Lu could not help but close his eyes.
This was truly … an unexpected sight.
"How do you feel?"
Moonless's voice came from the front.
"These are the trophies I collected in the war forty-five years ago. Any one of them is an outstanding master in the chaotic world … This is the real military merit worth showing off. The scars on my body are only a shame. What's there to show off? "
Wang Lu nodded silently. With the light around the collection, he could clearly see dozens of crystal troughs in the hall, and the corpses of chaotic creatures lying quietly in them.
Each of those chaotic creatures looked ferocious and had their own characteristics. Some had fangs turned outward, some had an eye in the middle of their forehead … But the basic outline was very clear. They were humanoid, and they were full of muscles and broad bones. They were very standard … male.
"I guess this is the answer you want. Why does the Temple of Heaven want to hide the division between Yin and Yang? Because we can't tell the world that your other half is a chaotic creature. "
"So that's how it is … This is indeed a secret that can't be made public."
While carefully observing the corpses in the collection, Wang Lu asked, "Generally speaking, creatures need to mate with Yin and Yang to reproduce. We have the Heaven to give us new life, but what about the chaotic world? They are only males, how do they reproduce? I see that the corpses of these chaotic creatures, in addition to the basic outline, often have the characteristics of other animals, such as ox horns, sheep hooves, horse tails, and so on. Could it be … "
Moonless coldly snorted and said, "When the need to reproduce overwhelms everything, they will naturally look for all possible mothers. Humph, dirty lower realm scum. "
Wang Lu looked for a while and then asked, "Strange, these chaotic creatures are only male? Can't they give birth to females? "
"I don't know. For thousands of years, we have never really set foot on the land of the lower realm. Every time we come, we kill all the invaders. The filthy land of the lower realm is fatal to us. "
Wang Lu nodded his head to show that he understood.
At the same time, he realized that this immortal dream land might also be hiding an extremely huge and difficult sub-plot: to help the chaotic creatures of the lower realm overthrow the Heavenly Earth and bring the Yin and Yang back to normal!
However, this idea was not convenient to say. He could only think about it in his heart.
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard Moonless said.
"Li Yan's evaluation of you in the letter is very high, and seeing you today, you really did not let me down."
Wang Lu cupped his hands and said, "You flatter me."
"I like you two very much, so you can stay in Moon Capital."
"Ah!?"
"I haven't expanded the harem of Moon Capital for more than ten years. Today, I will make an exception for you two."
"Wait a minute …"
