Inside the cave, there was a dark scene, with only the sound of dripping water, which was a bit desolate and lonely.
Ye Chen looked at the frail old man in front of him, but deep in his heart, he felt a deep sense of sadness.
Wu Zhenzi, the great elder of Tianyuan Sect and a fifth-level Yuan Formation Master. When Ye Chen saw him for the first time, Wu Zhenzi was like a child, full of playfulness, sincere and sincere in his treatment of others, and never cheated.
To this day, Ye Chen still remembers how Wu Zhenzi taught him how to arrange the elemental formation, with such dedication and attentiveness.
Later, Wu Zhenzi understood the mystery of the ancient Yuan Formation, broke through the bottleneck, and entered enlightenment. He still did not forget to teach the "Ju Yuan Formation" to Ye Chen, and let Ye Chen set foot in the Tianyuan Sect so that he could practice well and avoid any dangers.
Disasters, all these, Ye Chen keeps in mind and never forgets them.
Without Wu Zhenzi, Ye Chen might have been able to become a Yuan Formation Master, but he would never have reached the heights he is today, let alone mastered five ancient Yuan Formations in such a short period of time.
"The teacher of enlightenment will never forget!"
A flash of light flashed across Ye Chen's eyes. He took a few steps forward, knelt slightly on his knees, and said loudly with a sense of incomparable respect in his voice: "Disciple Ye Chen, I have met Master.
"
Hearing these words, the old man who was meditating suddenly turned his head.
At this moment, Ye Chen's heart, which had finally calmed down, began to beat violently again.
The eyes on Wu Zhenzi's thin face were lifeless and lifeless. Just looking straight at them made Ye Chen feel like he was dizzy.
"Boy, what did you call me just now? Did you call me Master?" A faint smile appeared on Wu Zhenzi's thin face, which looked particularly charming. However, in Ye Chen's eyes, it seemed as if he had seen three years of
Wu Zhenzi before.
call!
Taking a deep breath, Ye Chen walked up to Wu Zhenzi and said with a smile: "As the saying goes, once you become a teacher, you will always be a teacher. If you lead me into the path of Yuan Zhen, I will call you Master.
Why not?"
"Yes, of course." The smile on Wu Zhenzi's face grew thicker. He stood up unsteadily, stretched out his hand and put it on Ye Chen's shoulders, saying: "We haven't seen each other for three years. Not only is he much taller, but also
Even your cultivation is becoming more and more advanced, no wonder you dare to stir up trouble in the imperial city, and you dare to mock even Fang Han, a ruthless character, over and over again."
Wu Zhenzi always had a smile on his face. In his heart, he had already regarded Ye Chen as his disciple. If his disciple could achieve such achievements, the master would naturally be overjoyed.
Ye Chen scratched the back of his head, changed his tone and asked, "Old man Wu, why are your eyes like this?"
Hearing this, the smile on Wu Zhenzi's face became stiff.
He turned around and said calmly: "I have traveled all over the mountains, rivers and lakes, and I am used to seeing the warmth and coldness of people. I thought I had seen through everything, but when I really faced the disaster, I found that I had been wrong all along. These eyes,
Keeping it is just superfluous, it is better to destroy it so that you can understand your true heart and not be affected by external things."
"Did you destroy your eyes?" Ye Chen was stunned for a moment.
He never expected that the fact that the Han family was forced to go to Tianyuan Mountain would have such a heavy blow to Wu Zhenzi, that he would be so discouraged that he would destroy his own eyes as a warning to himself.
"Old man Wu, why are you doing this?" Ye Chen sighed. Together with the Yuan Zhen, we need to understand the changes in the world. The hands are the heart and the eyes are the mind. Only when the mind and mind are united can there be no obstacles.
Wu Zhenzi's self-destruction of his eyes was equivalent to abandoning his lifelong understanding of being in the Yuan Zhen. Such a loss is too heavy.
"Our Tianyuan Sect established the sect with the Yuan Formation, and it is the head of the three sects. If the Yuan Formation is not destroyed, the sect will be immortal forever. But that day, under the charge of 30,000 iron cavalry, the mountain gate was broken, and the disciples were lost.
The person who is the culprit is actually a disciple who I personally taught."
Wu Zhenzi's face was calm, but his voice was trembling, and he said slowly: "At that moment, I felt disheartened. The sect, the disciples, and the turbulent world have become my
The inner demons make me suffer day and night, so I would rather be alone all the time, so as to cut off the inner demons and re-enter the path of ascetic cultivation."
After the words fell, Wu Zhenzi sat cross-legged again. His dull eyes exuded a strong aura of loneliness, which made Ye Chen's eyes narrow slightly. He walked up to Wu Zhenzi again and said, "Old man Wu.
,you are wrong."
"Wrong?" Wu Zhenzi's body trembled and he asked.
"Your inner demon is not the powerlessness of your sect being broken, nor the anger of your disciples' betrayal, but your weakness. You can obviously stop it, but due to the power of the Han family and Fang Han's secret actions, so
You chose to remain silent and watched helplessly as the Tianyuan Sect fell to this level."
Ye Chen looked at Wu Zhenzi and said seriously: "Living in a cave, always accompanied by a green lantern, this is not asceticism, it is just constantly amplifying your inner demons, making you unable to extricate yourself from the abyss of weakness, and you will destroy your eyesight."
, it’s not that you’ve seen through everything, it’s just that your weakness makes you extremely painful, so you chose this behavior to make yourself feel better.”
After saying that, Wu Zhen's body began to tremble even more violently, and his breathing became more rapid.
"My inner demon is weakness?"
Wu Zhenzi's face was pale, and the darkness he faced seemed to pass through bloody scenes one after another, with wailing, begging for mercy, and the neighing of horses. The sounds and pictures were like sharp cones.
, stinging his body.
And these are his inner demons.
"Old man Wu, if the sect is destroyed, it can be rebuilt. When a person dies, the bones can be turned into a cornerstone and can serve as a warning to future generations. But if the heart dies, even if the person is still alive and the sect is still there, it is nothing like losing it.
What's the difference? You can't be knocked down so easily. You have to face the difficulties and break through the shackles in your heart. Only then can you face your inner demons and find your way to practice. I will always remember your words.
, Today, I will return it to you."
Ye Chen stared at Wu Zhenzi and said slowly.
This made Wu Zhenzi's heart tremble, as if he was enlightened. The gloomy aura in his body suddenly dissipated, replaced by enlightenment, and he woke up with a start.
If he still lives in seclusion in the cave, a hundred years later, he may turn into a withered skeleton. After a thousand years, the withered bones will turn into powder, and the breeze will blow by, and he will disappear without a trace.
What is the meaning of such a life?
"Been taught a lesson."
Wu Zhenzi stood up, and after saying a word, he stepped out, and his true energy blossomed wantonly.
The power of the true essence became stronger and stronger, and Wu Zhenzi seemed to be bathed in sunlight. All the darkness in the entire cave was dispersed, and only the light continued to shine down.
Taking another step forward, Wu Zhenzi's true energy suddenly dissipated, and even his breath disappeared at this moment.
"It turns out that only by giving up everything can you gain everything."
A word of sound slowly came out of Wu Zhenzi's mouth.
boom!
A powerful aura soared into the sky, directly destroying many mountain walls, and swept up into the sky, just like a bridge connecting the sky and the earth. This scene made the entire Tianyuan Sect disciples tremble.
"Is this a breakthrough?"
Ye Chen's eyes were frozen there. As he murmured, he saw a mysterious force falling down from the sky-reaching light pillar, covering Wu Zhenzi's body. The halo filled the air and actually covered the entire Luoyang Peak.
