For some reason, when he heard that Gu Qingfeng wanted to meet his mentor, Mr. Zhenjue, Ye Tianlan suddenly fell silent.
"What? Is it difficult?"
"I don't have any embarrassment. I'm just afraid that Elder Zhenjue doesn't want to see you. It's because he doesn't want to see you that he hid in the Shangqing Tower."
"Master, whether he wants to see me or not, that's his business. Whether I can see him or not, that's my business."
Ye Tianlan didn't speak any more, as if he was thinking about something, and then after finishing the glass of wine, he said, "I'll take you there."
After saying that, she waved her hand, and in a blink of an eye, the two of them had appeared in the Shangqing Tower.
There is a cave in the tower, as if it is its own world. Gu Qingfeng did not have the intention to appreciate this legendary treasure of the Shangqing Sect. After a while, he followed Ye Tianlan to a main hall.
The main hall was empty. Except for a few paintings carved on the surrounding walls, there was nothing else. At the innermost part of the main hall was a closed stone door. Although Ye Tianlan didn't say it, Gu Qingfeng had already noticed that the master was there.
Inside the stone chamber.
"I'm leaving first."
Ye Tianlan wisely left the Shangqing Tower again.
Gu Qingfeng looked at the stone gate and did not speak. He just knelt down and kowtowed.
After a while.
Gu Qingfeng finally spoke and said: "Master, my disciple is back."
No one responded.
Gu Qingfeng continued: "I know that you are very disappointed in me, and you don't want to recognize me as your apprentice at all, let alone see me again."
"No matter what you think, old man, for me, Gu Tianlang, once a teacher, always a father. In my heart, you will always be my master, before, now, and in the future."
Gu Qingfeng is an orphan.
He has been wandering around the Chiyan Ridge since he was a child. He grew up eating the food of hundreds of families. Sometimes he had to fight for food from wild beasts. Later, he became a member of the Yunxia Sect. Along the way, he lived on a knife's edge every day with his head in his hands.
He had no idea how many injuries he had received and how many beatings he had endured. Only he himself knew the hardships and sorrows involved.
It is precisely because he is free and lonely that he values friendship more than anyone else. Even if it is a drop of kindness, he will repay it with a spring.
then.
He was notorious and was surrounded and suppressed by the Immortal Dynasty and various major sects. His cultivation was abolished and his life was in danger. It was Elder Zhenjue who came forward to save his life. It was only later that Gu Qingfeng found out that Elder Zhenjue wanted to
In order to save himself and stay in the Shangqing Sect, he did not hesitate to gamble on the lofty reputation that the old man had accumulated bit by bit over thousands of years.
It's a pity.
In the end, Gu Qingfeng failed to change his ways. Instead of putting down the butcher's knife, he intensified his efforts. He raised the butcher's knife in his hand, killing people like rivers of blood, and turning the world upside down.
to this end.
The respected and virtuous Master Zhenjue, who is known as the world's best immortal teacher, has also become the target of public criticism and was reviled by everyone.
In order to atone for his sins, Mr. Zhenjue did not hesitate to commit suicide.
Every time he thinks of this matter, Gu Qingfeng's heart feels as painful as a needle pricking him. He has been practicing for five hundred years and has a clear conscience. However, he is the only one who truly feels sorry for the old man. Gu Qingfeng feels that he is really sorry for him.
after all.
Mr. Zhenjue not only saved his life, but also spent nine years teaching him the true meaning of human nature.
Gu Qingfeng has gone crazy countless times before and after, and his fortunes are all against the heavens. Among them, there are many great fortunes with self-awareness. The reason why he can find himself from the madness again and again is that he has not been affected by those monsters until now.
The consciousness of Great Creation swallowed up and then took over the body. In addition to his own perseverance, it was more about his understanding of the true meaning of humanity.
Return to your true nature and never forget your original intention.
These four words were the last eight words that Mr. Zhenjue said to him when he was being tried by the Immortals.
He always kept it in mind.
I dare not forget, and I will not forget.
"well……"
Sudden.
An old sigh came from the stone room.
Gu Qingfeng was startled, raised his head and said excitedly: "Master!"
"Crazy boy, crazy boy..."
Hearing the master's voice again, Gu Qingfeng was excited and excited deep in his heart. He wished he could break open the stone door and meet the master.
However.
In the end he endured it.
The master was able to reply, and he was already very satisfied.
"You fool, you are really a fool. The supreme freedom of Buddhism, in the end, is no match for the love and affection deep in your heart. Little do you know that the deeper the love, the more serious the disaster. You were like this back then. I can't imagine that hundreds of years have passed."
Years ago, to this day, you are still like this. Instead of weakening, you have become stronger. Maybe this is your fate, alas..."
"Return to your nature and don't forget your original intention. This is what you, Master, have always taught your disciple. This is the nature of your disciple. It will not change even if tens of millions of years pass. Although your disciple cultivates great freedom, his true nature
There will be absolutely no wavering.”
"Return to nature, don't forget your original intention, good...very good..."
Perhaps Gu Qingfeng was so excited after hearing the master's words that he didn't understand what the master meant by these words.
"I thought you could let go of what happened back then, but I never thought it would become a knot in your heart, that's all. In that case, I will tell you the truth, hoping to open up your knot."
"the truth?"
Gu Qingfeng was confused and asked: "What is the truth?"
"Disciple, do you still remember that you always wanted to ask a question, that is, why I wanted to save you."
Of course Gu Qingfeng remembered it, and he remembered it very clearly.
He has always wanted to know why his master would save him at all costs.
In fact, there were different opinions about this matter at that time. Some people said that the old man was really compassionate and saw that Gu Qingfeng had extraordinary talents and hoped to educate him and benefit the world.
Others say that the old man Zhenjue realized that his life was not worthy of death, but he did not want to let the tiger go back to the mountain, so he planned to imprison him in the Shangqing Sect to avoid harming the common people.
No one knows what the reason is, and Mr. Zhenjue has never told anyone.
Gu Qingfeng was also very entangled with this matter back then, but it was only back then. Although he still doesn't know why the old man saved him back then, he doesn't care about it anymore.
"Many people say that my teacher saved you out of compassion and hoped to educate you and benefit the world. This is wrong. My teacher is not compassionate and will not educate you, because my teacher knows that a person's nature is
Uneducable."
"Some people say that my teacher saved you because your fate should not be cut off. It is wrong to imprison you in the Shangqing Sect to prevent you from harming the common people, because my teacher knows better that the small Shangqing Sect cannot be imprisoned at all.
As for you, as for harming the common people, there is no way to talk about it. Although my disciple is aloof and unruly, he will never kill innocent people indiscriminately, let alone harm the common people."
"At the end of ancient times, the Immortal Dynasty was corrupt and the people were in dire straits. Even if there were no disciples, others would stand up to attack the Immortal Dynasty and end the ancient era. This is destined by God and is an inevitable consequence of the development of cause and effect."
