Gu Qingfeng did not expect that his words would cause such a big misunderstanding among the major sects.
After hearing from Su Hua that all the major sect leaders had gone back to discuss the matter and were planning to bring a large group of people over tomorrow, Gu Qingfeng didn't take it seriously.
Just misunderstand it.
Let’s talk about it tomorrow.
Afterwards, Gu Qingfeng, Zhenting, and Zhenyang walked toward the back mountain while chatting, mostly about their mentor Zhenjue.
"Gu boy, let the past go by. Don't blame yourself too much for what happened back then. What do you think of my senior brother? He has been pursuing and studying Buddhism all his life. He is almost obsessed with it. He pays too much attention to it.
Cause and effect are good and evil, and he is compassionate. He always worries about the world's worries. If he talks nicely, he is selfless and fearless. If he talks less, he is just eating carrots and not worrying."
Zhenyang Jiuxian knew that Gu Qingfeng had always been brooding about what happened back then, and he tried to persuade him with sincere words along the way.
"It was not easy for everyone to live in those ancient times. There was no such thing as good and evil, let alone good and evil. Who could clearly distinguish between good and evil? Even Lord Buddha could not distinguish between what is true good and what is true evil.
My senior brother is just looking for trouble."
Looking at the silent Gu Qingfeng, Zhen Yang Jiu Xian continued: "I'll tell you the truth, kid, there's something you probably don't know yet."
"What happened?"
"Back then, when your kid was surrounded and suppressed by the major sects, my senior brother saved you. Firstly, maybe my senior brother really had compassion. Secondly, he also saw that your kid is not bad in nature, and he is a man who can be made.
, Thirdly, and most importantly, my senior brother already concluded that your life should not be cut off."
"That's why I saved you kid despite the opposition of everyone in the world. The reason why I accepted you as my disciple is because I really want to teach you kid. However, my senior brother is not without selfish motives. In addition to wanting to teach you kid, I also want to teach you.
I want to trap your kid in the Shangqing Sect, so that even if you can't educate, at least you won't go out and cause harm to the world."
Gu Qingfeng just smiled and didn't say anything.
At this time.
Immortal Master Zhenting, who had been silent all this time, said: "Sirius, don't listen to the nonsense of my junior brother."
"Why am I just talking nonsense?"
Immortal Master Zhenting ignored Zhenyang Jiuxian, but said to Gu Qingfeng: "Your master's ideological realm has long been profound, and it is beyond our ability to understand. He has always been unpredictable in what he does, and nothing he does is as it appears.
It's so simple, what we think about is the present, but Senior Brother thinks about the future, and it's also about cause and effect."
Gu Qingfeng nodded in agreement.
To be honest, Gu Qingfeng originally thought that his mentor Zhenjue wanted to educate him as Zhenyang Jiuxian said. However, the more he experienced over the years, the more Gu Qingfeng discovered that his mentor Zhenjue had no intention of educating him.
, not even talking about good and evil.
During his nine years in the Shangqing Sect, his mentor Zhenjue only explained to him the true meaning of two words, which is the way of humanity.
It is the true meaning of the word "humanity" that has always benefited Gu Qingfeng. Whether he awakened from madness or demons, came and went freely between immortals and demons, or even later aspired to the Nine Nether Emperor Seal and transformed into Shura, it was all thanks to the true meaning of humanity that he could find it.
Return to yourself.
Not only that.
Gu Qingfeng knew that the Tai Chi elixir that was previously condensed in the Great Northwest and the Wanxiang Pagoda that was later conceived were all benefited from the influence of the true meaning of humanity.
Gu Qingfeng still can't figure out why his mentor Zhenjue wanted to explain the true meaning of humanity to him.
Perhaps it is as Master Zhenting said, what we think about is the present, but what Master Zhenjiao thinks about is the future, which is also the so-called cause and effect.
If it is cause and effect.
What's the cause and effect?
This is also the real purpose of Gu Qingfeng's visit this time.
"Sirius, the doubts in your heart cannot be answered by me, nor can True Yang answer them. Only your master in the world can answer them."
"My master...really entered the Shangqing Tower?"
Immortal Master Zhenting nodded solemnly.
"Did the old man go in voluntarily, or is it related to Ye Tianlan?"
Immortal Master Zhenting shook his head and sighed. He didn't know whether he didn't know, or there was something unspeakable.
But Gu Qingfeng didn't ask any more questions.
The three of them walked and talked like this until late at night, and then left this time.
It's night.
The stars are bright and the moon is bright.
Gu Qingfeng was wandering alone in the back mountain.
Compared with the foot of Shangqing Zong Mountain, the back mountain seems much deserted. Even on ordinary days, few people come.
Because the back mountain is either a place of graves, a place of retirement, or a place of punishment...it's quite unlucky.
The reason why Gu Qingfeng was wandering around the Back Mountain was because when he was practicing in the Shangqing Sect, he lived in the retirement place in the Back Mountain.
The so-called retirement place, as the name suggests, is a place for retirement.
If the disciples of the Shangqing Sect go wrong in their cultivation, or lose all their cultivation due to fighting, whether it is because their souls are destroyed, or they fail to overcome the tribulation, as long as they lose their cultivation, they will generally be placed here to retire.
Gu Qingfeng was a criminal at that time, so he was placed in a retirement place.
Generally speaking, no matter which sect almost has a place for retirement, but those places for retirement, without exception, are relatively poor. After all, if the cultivation is lost, it will become a useless person for the sect. The sect can support
You're doing well, so don't expect to be enveloped by the Spirit Gathering Array.
However.
The Shangqing Sect is different. The retirement place in the back mountain of the Shangqing Sect is quite good. Almost every courtyard and every house is covered by a spirit gathering array. Not only is it full of spiritual energy, but the climate is also suitable. Even if you can't practice, you can still practice.
Ensure good health and worry-free food and clothing.
People who live here for their retirement drink tea, play chess every day, and have nothing to do with the world. They feel very comfortable.
Gu Qingfeng found the courtyard where he lived back then, and looked up. The courtyard seemed to be sealed. Gu Qingfeng walked over, broke the seal with a wave of his hand, and walked directly in. The moment he opened the door, the memory of that year was like a
It burst out in the depths of my mind like a bursting flood.
This is an ordinary courtyard with three houses. There is also a red leaf tree in the courtyard that he planted himself.
The red leaf tree has long grown into a fiery red tree with lush branches and leaves more than ten meters high. I don’t know if it is a coincidence or some other reason. The red leaf tree is full of red fruits. It is none other than the red fruit that Gu Qingfeng planted in Northwest China when he was young.
The red-leaf demon fruit is the favorite thing to eat when wandering around the Yanling area.
He was an orphan, born without a father or a mother. He wandered in the Red Flame Ridge since he was a child, eating red leaf demon fruit to satisfy his hunger. Even if he later left the Northwest, he would carry the seeds of the red leaf demon fruit with him.
When he planted this red-leaf tree here, Gu Qingfeng wanted to remind himself all the time that when he was young, he could survive under the Chiyan Ridge where the mountains were full of tigers and wolves, and now he can survive in the Shangqing Mountains, which is comparable to the Longtan Tiger Cave.
