The moonlight is good tonight. The bright moon appears in the clouds, and the moonlight shines on the earth. The whole building is shining brightly, as if it is covered with a layer of gauze.
The young disciples at the foot of the cliff heard what Ye Zhihua said before. After a brief silence, someone said, "I seem to have heard Senior Sister Ye speak. She didn't refuse?"
"Didn't you agree?" A female disciple was a little dissatisfied. She looked at the edge of the cliff and thought that such a good Senior Brother Yun was indeed someone she couldn't touch.
"Junior sister's words are a bit sour. A discerning person can tell at a glance that if senior sister didn't refuse, doesn't that mean she agreed?"
A male disciple said with emotion: "It turns out that Senior Sister Ye has never rejected Senior Brother Yun, so they have really wasted their time for so many years."
The female disciple who was choked snorted coldly, turned around and left, with no intention of arguing.
The young disciple who had just spoken was stunned when he saw this scene. He didn't know why the junior sister was so angry. But soon, a disciple next to him touched his shoulder and whispered: "Senior brother, hurry up.
Go and coax you, junior sister, you dare to bully me, be careful tomorrow the master will let you go down the mountain and wander around."
The disciple asked doubtfully: "I didn't say anything?"
After hearing this, several laughters suddenly sounded from the surroundings, and the atmosphere was still very joyful.
In fact, Chixin Temple has always been a very strange place. It is not as strict as others think, but very casual, not at all like what a Taoist leader should be like.
The temple owner stood in the distance and saw Yun Jianyue turning around and leaving, probably to change clothes. Then he turned around with lingering fear, looked at the old Taoist priests present, and said softly: "Uncles, the matter has been resolved.
It’s been taken care of, are you still satisfied?”
Several old Taoist priests snorted coldly, quite satisfied with this ending. At least Yun Jianyue's Taoist heart was not broken. But soon an old Taoist priest said: "If these two people become Taoist couples in the future,
It's best not to affect your practice, otherwise we will still cause trouble for you."
The viewer frowned and asked in confusion: "What does what happens after this have to do with me?"
"You are not the observer? Shouldn't you be responsible for what happens during the observation?"
Several old Taoist priests said in unison, but they didn't say much. After saying this, they left on their own.
In the end, only the white-browed old Taoist priest was left standing here, looking at the cliff over there. There were many nostalgic emotions in his cloudy eyes. Once upon a time, he was so young and full of vigor. At that time, he also had something he liked.
Women, there are women who like me.
It's just that after so many years, those women who were once related to him have long since turned into loess, and even other relatives and friends have been dead for many years now.
Many people choose not to find a Taoist companion during their journey to the Taoist path, and choose to disconnect from the world early. They are also worried about this. The longer they live, the lonelier they will be.
The master of the temple looked at the elder in the temple and said softly: "Uncle Master, my condolences."
Naturally, he can understand this feeling. The journey to the great road will be separated anyway at the end. In this case, it is better not to start at the beginning.
Without a beginning, there is no end.
If you don't plant that seed, you won't have to see the day when the flower withers.
The white-browed old Taoist priest said with a smile: "That's what the Taiping Dao gang used to say about us. They believe that experience is what is necessary. As for the result, it doesn't actually matter. Regardless of whether the result is good or bad, at least you must first
At first, it was just like that kid. He had been holding it in for so many years, but now he suddenly figured out that he was actually a bit like the Taoist priests on Taiping Road."
As if he knew what the master of the temple was thinking, the old Taoist priest meant something when he spoke.
The master of the temple smiled and said: "Actually, the two lines are not just different in their cultivation concepts, otherwise they would have merged long ago."
The Taoist sect is naturally still the most powerful spiritual school in the world, but the Tao of Taiping and the Tao of Immortality have always been separated. If one day the two channels merge, they will actually be the most powerful Taoist sect.
The white-browed old Taoist priest looked away, then turned around and walked slowly down the mountain.
The viewer watched on the spot without speaking.
The old Taoist priest said before that he would definitely spend his last days walking around in the world, but the temple owner actually saw that this time he left the seclusion, the uncle was already at the end of his life, and probably did not have much time left to live. Now he was going down the mountain.
It actually confirms my own opinion.
But he still felt a little sad.
He still remembered that when he first went up the mountain, this uncle was waiting for him in front of the mountain gate and took him up the mountain with him.
Taoist monks, especially Taoist monks from the Tao of Immortality lineage, I am afraid that everyone knows a poem left by the great master of the Taoist sect, "The immortal touches my head, and the hair is tied to receive immortality."
But where is the longevity?
…
…
Yun Jianyue changed into a moon-white Taoist robe, washed the glass bottle, and then came to the cliff again.
Ye Zhihua sat on the big rock, his two long legs swaying on the edge of the cliff, looking like a swing.
Yun Jianyue mustered up her courage, sat down next to Ye Zhihua, and then handed out the glass bottle. Ye Zhihua took out a white handkerchief and took the bottle, then opened it and took out the white flower.
The moonlight shines on the white flowers, which looks particularly beautiful.
"If you have anything to say, you can say it."
Ye Zhihua looked at the white flower and spoke casually.
Yun Jianyue was about to speak, but when she heard these words, she became a little nervous again, and her palms were full of sweat.
Ye Zhihua handed over a white handkerchief with some disgust and said, "Wipe it."
After Yun Jianyue took it, she wiped her hands carefully, and then said in hindsight: "It turns out that senior sister is a bit germy."
Ye Zhihua nodded and said: "There are some, but it's okay."
Yun Jianyue said nothing.
Ye Zhihua frowned and said, "Speak."
Yun Jianyue didn't know what to say for a while, but was just a little confused.
"You talked so much on the mountain road before, but now you don't want to say a word in front of me?"
Ye Zhihua glanced at the bright moon in the sky.
Yun Jianyue asked: "Senior sister, do you also want to hear those stories?"
Ye Zhihua said calmly: "I have never gone down the mountain since I went up the mountain. There are so many things in the world, and I naturally want to know about them."
Yun Jianyue said oh, and soon laughed, and spoke softly, talking about her experiences over the years.
Traveling around the world is something that few monks would do, because in their opinion, practicing is a wonderful thing, so why waste time wandering around the world.
Yun Jianyue said: "I have been to the South China Sea. After I went to sea, I saw the fishermen of the Liang Dynasty salvaging the things we use for practice in the deep sea. Some people died every day, but new people went to sea every day. Senior sister felt that such a thing
Are we at fault?"
Ye Zhihua frowned slightly. She had thought a lot about what Yun Jianyue wanted to say, but she didn't expect that Yun Jianyue would say this in the end.
"Not everyone in the world can do things according to their own wishes. It's normal."
Ye Zhihua shook his head and looked away from the white flower, then looked at Yun Jianyue and said calmly: "What you want to do may not be possible, that's the reason."
Yun Jianyue's cheeks were a little red, thinking that I didn't even say what I was going to do, how come you seemed to know.
Ye Zhihua said: "You are one step ahead of me."
Yun Jianyue naturally knew that Ye Zhihua was talking about her breaking through the realm faster than her.
He also knew that the senior sister was also a very proud person. He was thinking about how to explain such a thing, but after thinking about it, he shook his head.
"Senior sister, I have always wanted to tell you that my talent is actually higher than yours."
Yun Jianyue was very serious. She looked at Ye Zhihua and said, "If I hadn't been unable to figure out this matter all these years, I would have already broken through. How could I be like this now?"
Ye Zhihua didn't smile. She just looked at Yun Jianyue and said, "I didn't dare to say anything for so many years before, but now I can't seem to close the door and talk a lot at once?"
Yun Jianyue nodded and said: "Over the years, I have always thought that senior sister doesn't like me. Naturally, I have a lot of things I want to say to senior sister but I haven't."
Ye Zhihua didn't speak, just looked at him.
Yun Jianyue's thousands of words were all stuck in her mouth at this moment.
"Yun Jianyue, have you ever thought about what would happen to you if you told me that you like me today, but I still said that I don't like you? Will Tao's heart be broken?"
Listening to these words, Yun Jianyue's expression became a little subtle. He naturally thought about this ending. This is the worst ending. What would he do if he was still rejected after saying that he liked it.
"Probably it will be really sad, but the matter of broken heart should not happen. It's my business to like senior sister. If senior sister doesn't like me, it's also senior sister's business. Even after senior sister rejects me, I can continue to like senior sister.
, I won’t care about it for the rest of my life.”
Yun Jianyue was actually a little sad when she spoke, and he was actually very sad. If this was true, then he would have to be sad for many years?
Ye Zhihua shook his head and said: "There is no future."
"If I were you, I would think about it. I, Yun Jianyue, am so amazing and the most amazing young man in the Taoist generation. I like you but you don't like me. That's your loss. Do you deserve to be sad?"
Ye Zhihua's expression was dull, and it was impossible to tell what she was thinking at the moment.
Yun Jianyue frowned and said: "Senior sister would think so, but I am not a senior sister, so I don't think so anyway."
He was a little angry now and looked like a child.
Just like when he was in the temple, when he heard something bad, he would argue with others. At that time, the young Taoist priests in the temple thought that this junior brother was too stubborn and thought that he might not be able to do anything in the future.
If he succeeds, those Taoist priests who are bigger than him will make fun of him.
"When I quarreled with people at that time, I could only cry. It was very noisy by the creek."
Ye Zhihua looked at Yun Jianyue, frowned and said, "I thought you were worthless at that time."
Yun Jianyue suddenly became a little embarrassed and said softly: "It turns out that senior sister knew about it at that time."
Ye Zhihua said nothing.
Yun Jianyue suddenly said: "Senior sister later?"
At that time, he was bullied. It was not a big deal at first, and he did not tell his seniors, but soon after that, no seniors bullied him anymore. Originally, he thought that maybe a certain senior knew about it, so he spoke out.
Stop it, but now that I think about it, things can't be that simple.
It should be the senior sister in front of me.
Ye Zhihua did not refute, and said calmly: "I just think you are too noisy. You are still a child. I can't solve you. If I can't solve it, naturally I can only solve them."
Yun Jianyue muttered: "But wasn't Senior Sister also a young girl at that time?"
Ye Zhihua was not much older than him, so he was naturally still young at that time. He was not as old or as high-level as those senior brothers.
Ye Zhihua did not elaborate, but simply said: "Solving them is never a troublesome matter."
Yun Jianyue said "oh" and was about to speak when she realized that what she wanted to ask had already been answered by the senior sister opposite her.
So he just remained silent.
But after a moment, Yun Jianyue laughed again, "It turns out that senior sister has been paying attention to me since then."
Ye Zhihua didn't refute, just held the white flower and looked at him quietly. Yun Jianyue was a little dazed by her look. After a long time, she softly called out: "Senior sister."
Yun Jianyue frowned and asked, "Then why haven't you seen senior sister smile?"
Ye Zhihua asked: "What do you think I am worth being happy about after all these years?"
For so many years, she has been practicing in the mountains, and she breaks through the realm once every few years. For other monks, after practicing for many years, it is naturally a happy thing to finally tear open the barrier in front of a certain realm and step into it.
But for Ye Zhihua, those things are just ordinary things. There is nothing worth being happy about. They are just ordinary things.
As for other things, whether it is a reward from the teacher or whether he has mastered a certain method, they are all ordinary things and nothing to be happy about.
Yun Jianyue became a little melancholy and whispered: "I don't know what will make senior sister happy."
Ye Zhihua looked at him and didn't rush to speak. It was only after a long time that he said softly: "When you become more promising."
Yun Jianyue subconsciously said oh, and then laughed after realizing it.
There was light in his eyes, and they suddenly bloomed.
Ye Zhihua looked at him and suddenly felt that the eyes of the young Taoist priest in front of him at this moment were the most beautiful scenery in the world.
Yun Jianyue suddenly spoke and said with a smile: "Senior sister, I like you very much!"
Ye Zhihua did not answer.
Yun Jianyue said again: "I will always like you!"
Ye Zhihua still didn't speak.
Yun Jianyue stopped talking and just looked at the other person, waiting for the answer he wanted.
After a long time, Ye Zhihua said: "I understand."
Yun Jianyue was not very satisfied.
Ye Zhihua didn't want to pay attention to this annoying junior brother.
Yun Jianyue was a little disappointed and aggrieved, like a pitiful little beast.
Ye Zhihua frowned slightly.
Yun Jianyue said softly: "Senior sister..."
He deliberately prolonged his voice, which sounded clingy and more like coquettishness.
This is really a strange thing. If any other monks knew that this Taoist genius would be like this, they would probably be shocked.
But Ye Zhihua remained indifferent and never opened his mouth to tell the answer Yun Jianyue wanted.
Ye Zhihua glanced at him a few times and felt the guy's disappointed mood.
"stop looking."
She suddenly spoke calmly, but her eyes were looking at the bright moon.
But the young disciples at the foot of the cliff had already felt a special aura and knew that Ye Zhihua's words were meant for them.
The young disciples stood up quickly, glanced here reluctantly, then laughed and left one after another.
Senior Brother Yun is easy to talk to and has a good temper. They probably dare to joke with him and say a few insignificant words, but this Senior Sister Ye is not such a person. Her cold temperament is well-known in the audience.
"Guanzhu."
Ye Zhihua spoke again.
In the entire Infatuation Temple, there probably won't be many people who would dare to speak to the owner of the temple like this.
The spectator who had been watching the show from a distance rubbed his forehead. Of course he knew that he was in a superb state. If he had been here all the time, Ye Zhihua would not have known of his existence.
But now that the girl has spoken, the viewer touched his nose and disappeared.
There is no one on this side of the cliff.
Only then did Ye Zhihua look away.
Yun Jianyue was still waiting for the answer. Although he already knew that he couldn't wait, he still wanted to persevere.
But Ye Zhihua was indifferent.
Yun Jianyue was completely disappointed and had no hope anymore.
But the next moment, he suddenly felt as if there was an extra piece of cold jade in his palm.
The feeling was so special that he couldn't help but rub it with his fingers.
Then he heard a slight nasal sound.
Just as he was about to lower his head to take a look, a voice sounded right here, "Don't look."
Yun Jianyue raised her head in shock.
But he already understood.
It was Ye Zhihua who held his hand.
But soon, a somewhat disgusted voice sounded again, "You have no future, why are you nervous? You sweat so much..."
…
…
On the bank of Nanhu Lake, there is a small courtyard of the academy.
After returning to the divine capital, Xie Nandu did very little these days. He just went back and forth between the library and the small courtyard every day. He went out during the day and returned late at night. In fact, there were not many sword cultivation techniques in the library.
After watching it for so many days, I have almost finished it.
Sword cultivators have different methods of practicing swordsmanship. Xie Nandu probably followed the path of practicing one swordsmanship by observing the technique of a thousand swords. She even tried several swordsmanship techniques from her fellow practitioners, and used them to control so many different swordsmanships.
flying sword, but after thinking about it, she gave up the idea.
When I returned to the small courtyard tonight, my maid Liu Ye quickly came to greet me and handed Xie Nandu a letter.
Xie Nandu didn't even look at it, but said calmly: "Senior brother's letter has come again?"
These days, she has been exchanging a lot of letters with her senior brother in the north. Although she wrote to him many times, it took a long time for her to get a reply.
In fact, just by the frequency of replies from the north, she knew that the war was now very difficult.
That senior brother never mentioned these things in his letters, and Xie Nandu never asked about them.
It has been more than half a month since my last reply.
Liu Ye shook his head and said softly: "No, miss, this letter is from Yuyu County."
Yuyu County?
Xie Nandu frowned slightly and quickly remembered that it was that guy.
She took the letter, sat on the chair, and said casually: "Let's bake two sweet potatoes."
Liu Ye hummed and went to get the sweet potatoes.
Xie Nandu thought for a while and suddenly said: "Forget it, I'll bake it myself."
She sat down in front of the stove and took out the letter from the envelope.
This is a letter written by Chen Chao before entering the ruins. It is not too long.
Liu Ye started to make a fire, but at the same time he was also paying attention to his young lady's expression. The young lady was very busy these days and did not get involved in the various things in the city of God. She seemed to be focusing on her practice wholeheartedly, but in fact she was also
It can be seen that the lady is really not happy when she is free.
This is not very good mentally at least.
Soon, Xie Nandu finished reading the letter and rubbed his palms.
The fire in the stove was also lit.
She picked up the two sweet potatoes and put them on the stove. She didn't know what she was thinking.
The sky was full of stars at this moment, and it was already dark.
Wei Xu stood by the lake, watching the stars falling into the lake, and remained silent for a long time.
Suddenly there were some footsteps by the lakeside, and he turned his head to look at the person coming.
The man saluted Wei Xu respectfully and said softly: "Mr. Wei."
Wei Xu nodded slightly and said nothing more.
The man didn't speak anymore, he just looked at Wei Xu in front of him. Now everyone in the world knew that this seemingly ordinary scholar was very unusual. Since he wanted something from him, they naturally didn't dare to be presumptuous.
In fact, even if there was no request, just because of Wei Xu's status as a monk in the Wangyou Realm, they would not dare to do anything.
Wei Xu was silent for a long time, and then walked towards the lake, not walking too fast.
The man followed and walked for a long time before he mustered up the courage to say: "I asked Mr. Wei before. It was Mr. Wei who was interested, so I dared to come here. Now that Mr. Wei sees me, he always wants to say something.
Otherwise I can’t explain it.”
Wei Xu nodded and said: "Of course I know, but don't you think it would be a little bad to talk about these things in the academy?"
The man was well prepared and took out a small bell from his arms. It was made of bronze and looked very simple and ordinary, just like the scholar.
But everyone knows that the so-called ordinary is actually not ordinary at all, whether it is the scholar or this bell.
Wei Xu felt the isolation around him and sighed: "You guys really understand that the most dangerous place is the safest place."
"But the teacher is still in the academy at the moment, how can we say it is safe?"
Wei Xu shook his head.
The man said softly: "The dean is supposed to be in seclusion at the moment. He is traveling south. The dean should have some feelings. Now that he is back, he will naturally have some thoughts."
Wei Xu said nothing.
The man continued to think about himself and said: "No matter how powerful a person like the dean is, he will eventually pass away from this world one day. In the past, Mr. Wei would naturally be the best successor, but it is different now. The dean has accepted Mr. Xie's
Girl, the Xie family and the Wei family, doesn’t Mr. Wei know about the things in between?”
Wei Xu calmly said: "Junior sister and I, as long as we stay in this academy for one day, we will naturally be brothers and sisters."
The man didn't take it seriously. He already knew that such an answer would not impress Wei Xu, so he smiled and said: "If this is just a girl from the Xie family, I think you won't have much problem with it, Mr. Wei. She is young after all.
And the dean is old."
Wei Xu said nothing.
"But it seems that during the dean's trip south this time, he not only met those old friends. There was a scholar in Shendu who was also the dean's disciple, and then he had to leave the city. Mr. Wei must still remember it."
The man looked at Wei Xu very calmly.
Everyone knows that the dean followed the example of the previous sages and was only willing to accept seventy-two disciples in his life. Among these seventy-two, Wei Xu was naturally very high-ranking, but apart from him, other disciples did not treat him indifferently.
No threat.
Wei Xu asked: "Teacher, did you go to see him?"
The man nodded and said calmly: "That's right. As far as I know, the dean's expectations for him were no less than those for Mr. Wei. Now that the dean is traveling south to see him again, what does it mean?
Mr. Wei doesn’t know?”
Wei Xu didn't say anything, he just looked at the lake and frowned slightly.
The man continued: "A person like Mr. Wei, who has served by the dean's side all year round and has entered that realm early, should be the next generation dean of the academy. If this position is given to someone else in the end, it will be a disgrace.
Unacceptable thing."
"Teacher naturally makes his own decision, so why should I worry too much."
Wei Xu was still very calm, and seemed to not care about these things at all. In fact, many years ago, the dean had praised Wei Xu in front of him, saying that he had a very rare temperament for being calm during big events.
The man said bluntly: "Actually, Mr. Wei knows very well that if he wasn't worried, our meeting would never have happened."
Wei Xu said nothing.
The man didn't speak either.
When it comes to negotiations, the party that talks more will definitely fall into a passive position. Wei Xu is taciturn, but this may not be his intention?
I don't know how long it took before Wei Xu slowly said, "Let's talk about it."
The man smiled slightly, and he naturally knew what Wei Xu was going to say in the end.
They didn't spend so much energy just to chat with Wei Xu in vain.
"We will do our best to help Mr. Wei take the position of dean of the academy, but in that matter, Mr. Wei also has to help. This world has never belonged to one family. Everyone elected him to sit on the throne, not let him
His descendants came to suppress us, and he was not allowed to do what he is doing now."
The man sighed with emotion: "Mr. Wei knows very well what the outcome of the previous dynasty was when people shared the world with scholar-bureaucrats. In the previous dynasty, when people shared the world with scholars, what the outcome was. Mr. Wei has read history books and knows very well. But even I
I also find it strange that our Emperor, His Majesty, is so whimsical that he chooses to do this, but no one will accept it."
Wei Xu said softly: "Sharing the world with a noble family is how we have been for the past two hundred years."
The man nodded in approval and said: "This is the truth, these are the rules, and the rules must be followed. Anyone who wants to change these rules must pay the price."
The reason why the Daliang Dynasty was able to dominate the world in the first place was, apart from seizing the opportunity, it was also inseparable from the support of those aristocratic families. For many years afterwards, the Daliang Dynasty naturally reciprocated the favor and shared the world with them. But now
, the situation is changing quietly, and people like them naturally cannot accept it.
Wei Xu said: "Actually, there is probably no problem if you change things sometimes."
After hearing this, the man frowned slightly, and then said with a smile: "If Mr. Wei is an ordinary scholar, there is probably no problem in saying such things, but since Mr. Wei is from the Wei family, it is inappropriate to say these things.
OK."
The Wei family was the only aristocratic family in the Liang Dynasty that could equal the Xie family.
Wei Xu didn't speak anymore, just looked at the lake.
…
…
It was quiet late at night in the academy. Except for some light in the library, the rest of the place was dark.
The dean walked out of his residence and looked up at the stars in the sky.
There are many stars tonight and are extremely bright.
Even comparable to the bright moon.
The monks who have reached the realm of forgetfulness are actually more or less capable of stargazing. The dean looked at the distant stars and looked at the extremely bright star now, feeling a little sad.
Of course he knew what that star meant now.
That's my old friend.
That Taoist master of Wantian Palace.
The two had known each other for many years and had met for the last time. Although they knew that he would die in the near future, they were very sad when they saw this day.
Practicing his state, although it can be said that he has stepped into the great freedom, in fact, he has not achieved immortality, that is to say, he has not achieved freedom. This is the truth now, that guy is going to die.
The dean looked away, thinking of many past events, and finally shook his head.
As the years continue to pass by, countless friends will naturally leave one after another. This is the law of heaven and earth, and he cannot defy it.
However, dying of old age is already a wonderful thing. Compared with him, the way the monk in black died was actually quite bad.
He should have lived for many more years.
He should live until now and even die after him.
But he died anyway, in front of himself.
The dean felt a little emotional, and then looked towards the lake over there, his expression became a little strange.
But soon his expression became natural.
He shook his head. There were always a lot of things happening in the capital of God. Whether he wanted it or not, he would see that this would not change at all.
"No matter how you choose, it's all in your heart. If you make the wrong choice in the end, who can blame you?"
…
…
Above the mountains and rivers, starlight falls on a mountain.
Countless Taoist priests from Wantian Palace have appeared in the mountain. Whether they are in retreat or not, they are all looking at a small Taoist temple somewhere in the back mountain.
Over there, there was a girl squatting outside the Taoist temple and crying. She was very sad and her tears kept falling. Many Taoist priests looked at her not far away, feeling very distressed but unable to say anything. Everyone knew that this would happen.
No matter who it is, no matter who tries to coax her with her favorite food, they can't coax her.
Because the sadness at this moment is the saddest thing for a girl.
The Taoist priests are waiting here.
A middle-aged Taoist suddenly walked a few steps forward and came to the entrance of the Taoist temple. He looked inside and asked: "Old Master, you don't want to see us again? Even if you don't see us, the saint is so sad, why do you want to see us again?"
That’s it, right?”
There were two Taoist priests standing at the door of the Taoist temple. After hearing this, they just shook their heads and said softly: "The old master has said before, that the palace master will be the only one to be seen tonight. If the palace master cannot break through the barrier, then no one will be seen.
"
The middle-aged Taoist was silent for a moment, gritted his teeth, and was about to walk inside. He really couldn't accept such a big deal, so he had to go to the old master to listen to some more teachings.
"What?"
A majestic voice suddenly arose, and a Taoist priest with an ordinary face, but solemnity all over his body suddenly appeared here, looked here, and said with an ugly face: "You don't even care about the last wish of the old master?"
"Palace Master!"
Seeing this Taoist priest appear here, people greeted him one after another.
The Palace Master of Wantian Palace ignored him. His face was a little pale when he hurriedly broke through the barrier. It seemed that he had suffered a lot of backlash. But since there was such a big event in the mountain, how could he care? After passing the crowd, he quickly
Step into that small Taoist temple.
When I came there, I saw a skinny old Taoist priest sitting in the courtyard.
That is the Taoist Great Master, and he is also the highest-ranking being in the Wantian Palace.
When he went to the capital of the gods earlier, he was still somewhat energetic, but now that his energy and blood were exhausted and decayed, he was already like a dead tree.
Master Wan Tian Palace came to him, saluted seriously, and called him "O Master".
The old master looked at him with some kindness, then stretched out his skinny hand and gently placed it on the top of his head, and streams of pure Qi poured into his body.
The face of the Palace Master of Wantian Palace suddenly became much better. He looked at the old master and said with some unbearability: "Old Master, why do you have to be like this? My little injury will be healed in a while."
The old man retracted his palm and said slowly: "They are all dying anyway. Let's do whatever we can in the end."
The Palace Master of Wantian Palace squatted in front of Old Master and said softly: "Disciple, listen to Old Master's teachings."
The old master looked at him with some nostalgia in his cloudy eyes. He quickly said: "I went to Shendu this time and did that thing not because I wanted Wantian Palace to be involved, nor for the sake of Taoism. You
You should understand what I am thinking."
This time he went to the capital of the gods to meet the dean of the academy in person. Many Taoist priests from Wantian Palace just thought that he was visiting friends. In fact, few people knew that he was going there to do something.
The Palace Master of Wantian Palace nodded and said softly: "Although this disciple is puzzled, since it is the old master's idea, he will definitely abide by it. The real master has great wisdom, and one day, the disciple will always understand."
The old man smiled, shook his head and said: "This is not what you should do. As the master of Wantian Palace, you should be a man of your own opinions. In fact, even if you refute me, I feel good about it.
, in short, you have to have your own ideas.”
The Master of Wantian Palace didn't know what to say, so he just remained silent.
The old man said: "Daliang Dynasty has been saving for many years to make waves. In this huge wave, there are opportunities for Wantian Palace, whether Taiping Road can be revitalized, and whether Wantian Palace can be the leader of that sect. These are the things you guys want to do.
I don’t care about the things that I worry about. I just followed my heart when I did this. Now that the matter is done, I have to shamelessly ask you for one thing."
The Palace Master of Wantian Palace naturally understood what was going on, nodded, and said softly: "The saint will naturally teach you well."
The old master shook his head and said slowly: "That girl is a real person. Actually, don't let her do anything. If I drop a seed, it's just watering it. What happens next? Let her go on her own. She will definitely
A rare flower in the world will bloom. When it blooms, nothing will happen to Wantian Palace. You just need to understand this."
The Palace Master of Wantian Palace was startled, then nodded vigorously.
The old man opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but it seemed that he was already struggling.
The Palace Master of Wantian Palace naturally saw that the old master was really exhausted now and could not say anything anymore.
"Do you want to see the Saint again for the last time?"
The Palace Master of Wantian Palace couldn't bear to say, "After all, it's a master-disciple relationship. Isn't it too cruel to be separated like this now?"
The old master didn't say anything, he just looked at the sky. In that night sky, there were many stars. There is a legend that every dead monk Wangyou is a star in the sky.
"If the legend is true, then I will always be there and look at that girl..."
The old man spoke with difficulty and said softly: "It's just that I would rather the legend is false and I just disappear from the world, as if I have never been here. In fact, it is also a very good thing."
The Palace Master of Wantian Palace said softly: "The master's realm is so high that my disciples cannot reach it."
The old man didn't speak, he just looked at the night sky. For some reason, there was some confusion in his eyes.
He has been practicing for many years, and he has read countless classics and knows how many things. It stands to reason that nothing in the world can make him so confused. But looking at him like this, it is clear that he is still unclear about some things at this moment.
And those things seemed to happen suddenly at this moment.
Could this be the enlightenment between life and death?
The old man opened his mouth, spoke with some difficulty, and spit out one word.
"sky……"
The Palace Master of Wantian Palace frowned slightly, vaguely feeling that this word was a bit extraordinary, but what did Tian mean?
He looked at the old man and asked: "Old man, this is..."
The sound stopped suddenly.
Because he can no longer feel the aura of the old man.
He passed away.
The eyes of the Palace Master of Wantian Palace were full of sadness.
The death of this Taoist great master was a very difficult thing for Wantian Palace to accept.
Not long after, the bell rang.
The mountains and rivers can be heard.
The Taoist priests outside the Taoist temple were startled at first, and then lowered their heads sadly.
This great master of the Taoist sect has always had a noble character, and it is difficult for anyone to find any problems with him, so he has a high prestige in the entire Taoist sect.
But now, it has finally turned into dust.
Zhu Xia was still squatting at the door of the Taoist temple, looking at the ground.
She heard those bells too.
There was already a pool of tears on the ground.
Her tears kept flowing.
To others, that Taoist master was a respectable elder, but to Zhu Xia, he was a kind teacher, the person she felt most familiar with over the years.
But now he is gone.
Zhu Xia was very sad.
The sadness cannot be described in words.
She opened her mouth, but found that she couldn't cry.
Then she became even more sad.
There were more and more tears, and she became more and more sad.
Then she lowered her head in grievance, and tears continued to roll down her face.
I don't know how long it took before Zhu Xia spoke softly, her voice hoarse, "Master, it's delicious."
