The fact that the Daliang frontier army defeated the demon vanguard in the north and killed the general Liu Xiang soon spread throughout the world. In fact, it was even earlier than the official military report came to the divine capital.
It's already known to everyone.
The first ones to know the news were naturally the nearest major cultivation sects in New Liuzhou, and from the Shanshui Sect, Master Zanyuan looked at the news coming up the mountain with mixed emotions.
Beside him, Dong Tianren, who has been in seclusion but has now come out of seclusion, smiled and said, "Well done."
Master Zan Yuan looked at his Dongtian Master, hesitated for a moment, and then said cautiously, "Master, can you think about this matter more carefully?"
Dong Tianren was still barefooted. After hearing this, he wanted to lift his foot to give his nephew a kick, but in the end, he took it back halfway.
Master Zan Yuan laughed dryly and said, "Uncle Master, at your age, it's time to control your temper."
Dong Tianren sneered, "If I hadn't seen you as the master of the mountain, I would have given you some face, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to dodge this kick no matter what."
Master Zan Yuan didn't dare to speak, he just muttered in his heart, when that damn guard came up the mountain, didn't you just kick him over as soon as he came? You didn't say you wanted to save face for me at that time.
Master Dong Tian glanced at Master Zan Yuan and knew what this guy was thinking. He narrowed his eyes and said, "You don't even think of my disciple as a human being. I'll give you a kick. What else do you think?"
Master Zan Yuan shook his head, waved his hand and said, "No, this disciple has no opinion at all."
Dong Tianren rolled her eyes at him and was too lazy to dwell on this matter any further.
Zhenyuan Zhenyuan thought about it for a while, but then he said bravely, "Uncle Master, you still have to think about this matter. It is your idea to go to the north, but you can't just ignore the mountain. You are our Shanshui Sect."
The number one master, now that Xinyue has gone to the capital of gods to become the crown princess, you are the only one who has forgotten your worries. If you leave, what will our Shanshui Sect do in the future?"
Master Dong Tian glanced at Master Zan Yuan suspiciously and asked curiously, "What? You mean after I leave, the Shanshui Sect will be wiped out? Damn it, what does he do for a living?"
"It's not that serious. It's just that you're always on the mountain. Why don't we be more practical? Besides, these young people have to listen to your teachings from time to time. Besides, you are so old, why are you going to the north?
go?"
Master Zan Yuan spoke cautiously, observing his uncle as he spoke, fearing that if he said anything bad, he would be kicked away by his uncle.
Dong Tianren narrowed his eyes and said nothing.
It’s just that the more my master-uncle keeps silent, the more he
The more Yuan Zhenren felt, the more he felt that he had no bottom.
"Zan Yuan, can we say something heartfelt?"
Master Dong Tian suddenly spoke, and just this opening made Master Zan Yuan's heart tremble.
Master Zan Yuan nodded bravely and said, "Uncle Master, please tell me."
Dong Tianren said with a smile, "Uncle Master, in fact, it has not been easy for you to be the master of this mountain these years. When you were robbed of Gengluo Mountain by Ziye Cave, you must be under the greatest pressure on this mountain, and you feel the most.
I’m wronged, but there’s nothing I can do about it. In front of other great people like me, I, a Taoist disciple, can’t really do anything because I’m not sincere enough. So, don’t blame me when I see you being wronged and the Shanshui Sect being wronged.
Uncle Master."
Having said this, Master Zan Yuan was also a little moved at this moment, and he shook his head.
"Now that the guardian envoy has given us Gengluoshan and wants it back, no matter what the purpose is, it is definitely equivalent to returning the slap that was slapped on our face. This is a huge kindness.
We can't stop thinking about repaying it. If we don't do anything, let's be Daliang's in-laws and not make people laugh?"
Dong Tianren said softly, "It's a pity that our Shanshui Sect's family is not rich, so there are some things that we can't do whatever we want. I went to the North and almost died there. What's the trouble? What if?
If you're lucky, maybe you can come back and it won't be a big deal."
Having said this, Master Zan Yuan's eyes were wet. He said in a low voice with red eyes, "Uncle Master, at your age, wouldn't it be better to just stay in the mountains and take care of yourself? If you really want to go, I, the mountain master of the Shanshui Sect, will go."
It won’t make any difference even if you go there.”
"Are you joking with your uncle here? How can you come back to this realm after you go there? Besides, your master entrusted you to me back then, and I watched you die? If this is really the case, I, as my uncle, will not be able to come back.
How can you still have the honor to see your master in the future?"
Dong Tianren sighed with emotion, "You don't know how close I was to your master back then. You were his only disciple. I saw you being wronged but couldn't help you, and I already felt sorry for your master."
Master Zan Yuan looked at the Dongzhenren in front of him and said with a sincere expression, "Uncle Master, after Master left, I regarded you as Master. Now I have to watch you put yourself in danger. This is something a human can do."
Is there anything you can do? Uncle Master, please listen to me once. I will go to the north. Uncle Master, you can practice Taoism and retire in the mountains. Can't you just live this life like this?!"
Dong Tianren didn’t say anything, just
Look at Master Zan Yuan like this.
As his nephew, no matter what others think of him, as his uncle who has watched him grow up, he knows best what kind of character he has.
It's still good after all.
"Zan Yuan, my uncle would like to tell you something from the bottom of my heart. After practicing for so many years, I have realized that I can't go any further. I can't even see the threshold. I have reached the end of my cultivation. Since
In this life, I have been living for myself, now, do I want to do something for the people of the world?"
Dongzhenren narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "I have practiced Taoism for a long time, and I often feel that I am already a mountain person who has escaped from the world. But I don't know why, but I have always been restless in the past few years. I think of my mother and me when I left home.
Dad was still there, and their eyes were full of reluctance that their son was about to leave home, but they knew that his son would definitely be much better off if he stayed here, so they didn't stop him in any way. But after I left home,
I never went back again."
"Those men of letters always like to say some unrealistic empty words. Most of the time, they don't have much to chew on. But now, when I look through those books again, I see that there are many words that are actually very good.
.”
Dongzhenren looked down the mountain with very sentimental eyes. When I was flipping through a book that day, I accidentally saw a sentence that said that every time you say goodbye, you should take it to heart because no one knows whether it will be the last time we meet. .??.
When I think back to when I left home, it was not like this. I always felt that after I left home, after a few years of practice and success, I would go home to see my parents and tell them what I saw and heard.
But what about the result?
Dong Tianren laughed at himself, "At that time, I just thought it was ordinary."
Master Zan Yuan stopped talking and just remained silent. He knew that his uncle had already decided that it would be meaningless to say anything else at this moment.
Master Dong Tian turned his head and glanced at Master Zan Yuan, and said with a smile, "Zan Yuan, my uncle teaches you the last truth, that is, you must understand why you practice Taoism. The so-called immortality and the so-called pursuit of the highest realm are actually not advisable.
, sentient beings are ups and downs, after crossing the sea of suffering, will they be able to reach the other side? Is it because they forget their worries, or is it because they have something to keep in mind that they can forget their worries? You have to think about it carefully, I hope it is not too late.
Anyway, by the time I understood this truth, it was already too late. If I had been a few decades earlier, I might have become a genuine Taoist master."

…
Please Yueshan.
Li Tang stretched out his hand and handed the intelligence in his hand to Aunt Gan. Aunt Gan glanced at it and joked, "Gantang, Li Tang, there is only one word difference."
Li Tang smiled and said, "Fortunately, Aunt Gan didn't say it was a huge difference."
"That doesn't make sense. It's just that Old Sword Immortal Gan has been practicing for a longer time. After ten or eight years, maybe the mountain master has reached the end of Wangyou. Then the mountain master will be the one to stabilize him."
Aunt Gan's words didn't have any water in them. She was telling the truth. Litang's future was bright and she was definitely not just talking about it.
Li Tang laughed it off, then changed the subject and asked, "I plan to send a group of people to the north, what do you think, Aunt Gan?"
Aunt Gan asked curiously, "There's no news yet?"
Li Tang nodded and said, "There is no news yet, but it's one thing for others to mention this kind of thing, and it's another thing for you to do it first. You can't keep silent all the time."
Aunt Gan thought about it for a while, but still didn't give a particularly clear answer. She just said that Li Tang was the mountain owner, so let the mountain owner make the decision.
However, Aunt Gan quickly expressed her position and said with a smile, "If you really have to send someone, I will definitely be one of them to repay the favor. I can't forget the kindness of that brat."
Li Tang said, "He may not want to watch you die, Aunt Gan."
Aunt Gan didn't take it seriously, "I don't care what he thinks about this kind of thing. He is not my man and has no control over me."
Litang smiled and said nothing more.

Chaolu Sect, Feng Liu watched the monks leave.
The two leaders, Wangyou.
One of them is the casual cultivator Xu Bai from Huanglong Prefecture, and his wife naturally goes with him.
Watching them leave, Feng Liu smiled and waved.
"You go first, I... will come later."
…
…
The good news of Daliang spread all over the world, and people who knew the news had different thoughts. But from this time on, countless monks set out from all over Daliang and Jiuzhou, rushing to the north to go to that bitter cold land.
The purpose is different. Some people want to see the scenery of the frontier fortress and take a look at why the Daliang frontier army has been able to guard the Great Wall for more than two hundred years and prevent the monsters from going south.
Some people, on the other hand, rushed to the north with the intention of dying and never thought of coming back.
Most things in the world have cause and effect.
And cause and effect is mostly a debt.
But in the end, how to do it all depends on your conscience.
The good thing is that there are really many people with conscience in this world.
