Chapter 1398 - 343: Prophecy

Chapter 1398: Chapter 343: Prophecy

Fanli’s thinking has always been very "simple", but this is actually a kind of profound wisdom;

An event, after it occurs, regardless of how vast the process is or how extensive the involvement, ultimately when it concludes, there are probably only two or three options.

You can’t say that the way of deliberating for a long time, weighing the pros and cons and still hesitating at the end, is genuinely prudent, while skipping these complicated processes and directly flipping a coin at the decisive moment is heartless.

Because in the end, the former often doesn’t come up with anything constructive, and in the world, apart from the absolute right and wrong recited under the teacher’s rule as a child, in the adult world, truly absolute right and wrong have become scarce.

So, most thoughtful and analytical people also end up having a "moment of decision", well, just choose it;

Hmm,

Then why bother?

Fanli doesn’t know this woman, although the news of Xue Three’s return has already been spread, but right now the demon lords have just been assigned tasks, and Fanli himself went to find mourning clothes, so he doesn’t know.

He only knows that the words in this woman’s dream will bring trouble deviating from the current main plot to him, and to the other six including my lord.

Just like back in the Chu State, when Lord Zheng encountered the woman hanging on a tree on the way back to the Jin land with the princess.

At that time, Lord Zheng chose to ignore it, because his main contradiction then was to safely take himself and the princess away from the Chu State back to the Jin land controlled by the Yan people.

Those things on the journey that might trigger side plots, he had no time to attend to, as the main contradiction took precedence, secondary contradictions were meaningless.

And the dream talk by Hu Bamei in front of him isn’t just a so-called secondary contradiction, she might even cause a real conflict in the plot’s main line.

Demon king, demon heads, seven, stone tablet, is it a prophecy?

Fanli’s first reaction was,

How annoying!

"Hoo!"

"Hoo!"

"Hoo!"

Took three deep breaths,

Fanli raised his axe.

"Damn, what are you doing!"

Xue Three’s shout came, and he immediately jumped in front of Fanli.

Fanli’s axe came down, it truly came down. When Fanli does something, it’s either not at all or never half-hearted!

Xue Three’s hands appeared with two daggers, as he quickly shifted over, kicked the ground, and leapt up.

"Clang!"

The axe and daggers collided.

Seeing Xue Three appear, Fanli decisively held back his strength;

However, Xue Three was using a jumping block, his strength naturally decreased too much, moreover, Fanli was now one level higher than Xue Three, and it was brute strength in a contest, so even though Fanli pulled back his strength, Xue Three was absolutely disadvantaged in this clash.

But Xue Three’s daggers still seemed to stick to Fanli’s axe, not sliding off.

Fanli held back, shifting the axe’s downward edge to a side flip.

"Bang!"

Xue Three was thrown out, hitting a column on the side.

Luckily, while hitting, Xue Three curled up his body, changing to kick with both legs against the column, diverting most of the force, so when he landed, he was still able to quickly stabilize and instinctively prepare for a second attack.

"Enough, stop!"

Zheng Fan shouted loudly.

Fanli immediately withdrew the axe, looked towards my lord, and scratched his head.

Xue Three’s chest heaved as he glanced at Hu Bamei, who was rubbing her eyes, just woken up by the commotion.

"Ah... was full and sleeping..."

...

"My lord, while she was dreaming, she mentioned demon lord, descent, demon heads, seven, and chatting with a stone tablet."

Fanli repeated Hu Bamei’s dream talk seriously and in detail.

The demon lords, who had been assigned tasks earlier, had now all returned.

This was more streamlined compared to the earlier meeting, with some people missing.

Jin Shuke and the wild people king were not present, only the demon lords were in attendance.

The blind man had originally planned to go with Jin Shuke to the rear to "capture" laborers tomorrow, so he’s still here now.

"Is this, a prophecy?"

A Ming asked.

Liang Cheng remained silent.

Xue Three, being half a party involved, was the one who brought them, but now he’s just watching, not speaking.

The blind man chuckled, saying, "It sounds like the prophecy of the Jade Order back then."

The Jade Order once had a prophecy, that the brilliance of the stars would illuminate the snowy plains, the wild people would rise again, ushering in glory.

At that time the wild people, under the leadership of the wild people king, indeed showed signs of revival, but then... well, everyone knows what happened.

Lord Zheng lightly coughed twice,

and said:

"The key issue now is whether this dream talk is really about us, me as one, you seven, demon lord, demon heads, it’s too much of a coincidence."

The blind man said: "My lord, this doesn’t count as a coincidence, because one plus seven is a very common combo;

For instance, one grandfather and seven calabash brothers;

For instance, one Snow White matched with seven dwarfs;

Or, Guo Jing with the Jiangnan Seven Freaks, the seven fairies descending to earth, seven wolves..."

The blind man reached out, habitually took out an orange, sniffed it, and said:

"So, my lord, my suggestion is that for this matter, we don’t need to rush now or put too much thought into it. In this world, I admit there are alchemists and Qi cultivators, and once Master Zang under Yanjing City severed the dragon vein of Yan, but today Yan still flourishes mightily.

Ultimately, man’s determination is the true essential rule.
