Chapter 16 Optimistic about that plum blossom for many years

Priest Xin suddenly felt that the plum blossoms in the room were emitting coldness, although most of the plum blossoms were happy with the coldness. In order to drive away this coldness, he squeezed out a smile with some difficulty and continued to talk about the lively atmosphere of the National Education College, especially the focus of describing the reaction speed of the Four Great Houses after Chen Changsheng accepted the challenge on behalf of the National Education College, the pergola at the entrance of Baihua Lane, and the bets that were constantly gathering at the Four Great Houses.

"It seems that there are not as much bets as you have made during the Great Court trial." Meilisa said with a smile.

Priest Xin didn't understand. The battle between Zhou Ziheng and Chen Changsheng tomorrow is of course very eye-catching, but how can it be compared with the Great Dynasty Trial? The next moment, he finally remembered something. During the Great Dynasty Trial, when everyone was not optimistic about Chen Changsheng, he bet his entire fortune on Chen Changsheng - because the Bishop was optimistic about Chen Changsheng.

"I understand." He smiled at the Bishop, "I'll have someone to help me place my bet later."

The entire Ligong now knows that since the National Education College embarked on the road to revival, Priest Xin has become a confidant of Archbishop Meilisha. His attitude is the attitude of the bishop. This year, Priest Xin bets his entire fortune on Chen Changsheng. Therefore, even if the priests in the Cultivation Office were not optimistic about Chen Changsheng, they also bet a lot of money on Chen Changsheng.

This is a huge amount of money.

Tianxiangfang lost so badly in the end, except for the calm and tough attack of the Tang family in Wenshui, it was because they had to pay the money that the priests of the palace won by Yu Jing.

Listening to the words of Priest Xin, Meilisha laughed and began to cough. The painful cough echoed in the room. It took a long time to stop. He took a breath of exhaustion and looked at the skylight outside the window and said regretfully: "I originally wanted to see where Chen Changsheng has reached now, but unfortunately I can't see it."

For Chen Changsheng, tomorrow is the first time after the Great Court Examination, he officially showed his strength in front of the world. He watched the stele in the Heavenly Book Mausoleum, supported the sky in the Zhou Garden, and carried Su Li to escape from the snowfield of the Demon Realm and returned south... During these days, all the things he learned and realized will be displayed tomorrow.

He will present and report results to those who care about him.

Tomorrow will be a brand new day for him.

However, for Meilisha, there is no tomorrow.

Priest Xin suddenly felt his legs a little weak, and he walked to the front with great difficulty. Looking at the bishop with a calm expression, he was nervously unable to speak. The entire sect's sect quickly immersed in a tense atmosphere, and a message went to Kyoto from all directions.

There was no blood from last autumn in the square in front of the sect. The row of maple trees was red like blood, as if they had arrived in the stern autumn in advance. It turned out that twilight was coming.

No matter what interpretation is, it is ominous and sad.

Since autumn has arrived, will the dead winter be far away?

As dusk falls, isn’t the night right in front of you?

The night fell, and when the lights first came on, Chen Changsheng rushed to the sect. He had no time to pay attention to the greetings of the priests and went straight to the deepest room.

The room was still full of plum blossoms, but many of them were no longer in full bloom and had already shown signs of withering.

"I'm going to die." Meilisa said to him, her voice very gentle, as if she was afraid of scaring the child.

Chen Changsheng has thought about life and death countless times, and has thought many times that he could see through life and death, such as in front of the black dragon, such as in Zhouyuan. He even thought that he had realized some of the true meaning of life, such as the people who are most afraid of death are often the least afraid of death, and in many cases, only by not afraid of death can one not die, and only by fighting their lives can one continue to live.

But at this time, looking at the old Bishop, he suddenly realized that his views were still incomplete, because he never thought about how you fight with it if there was no enemy, or if your enemy was time? How can you keep calm when death comes? He didn't know, so he didn't know what to say at this time.

Meilisa looked at him and smiled, not continuing the topic, and asked, "How sure are you tomorrow?"

Perhaps because death is coming and there is too little time, the Bishop spoke very directly today.

Chen Changsheng was also very direct, without any hesitation, and said, "Ten thousand."

Meilisa thought he wanted to reassure himself, and smiled and said, "I believe you have actually thought about it many times, why am I so nice to you."

Chen Changsheng was silent. Of course he thought about it many times, but he couldn't come to a conclusion. He knew it must be related to some big things, but he didn't want to think so.

"I'm hiding something from you, and even deliberately lie to you, but you have to believe me, believe in the Pope, and believe in your teacher."

"Maybe the truth of many things looks different from the surface, but it just takes a different path, and the final destination has never changed, just like our arrangements for you, at some time in the future, or you will feel dissatisfied or even angry, but you have to look at what the final result is, and I believe it will not harm you anyway."

Chen Changsheng didn't understand the meaning of this passage very well, but he understood the Bishop's meaning - these two meanings are different - as long as the result is good, the process and means in between are not important. Meilisha wants to say this. But is it a discussion of the mind or the action? Chen Changsheng looked at Meilisha's old face and did not want to think about this question anymore. He thought that it would be a very cruel thing for an old man who was about to leave this world, and he could feel that the old man really wanted to be good.

In the eyes of the world, whether it is the Qingteng Banquet or the Grand Court Examination, Chen Changsheng was able to win the final victory and became famous in Kyoto. The person he and the National Education College need to thank the most was Archbishop Meilisa. Before the Pope personally put the crown of the Thorns on Chen Changsheng, Meilisa was the only person in the world who supported him and was the backer of the National Education College. Of course, he was very close to Chen Changsheng. Only Chen Changsheng himself knew that in fact, he and Archbishop Meilisa had never even met each other several times. When they came to Kyoto from Xining, everything happened too quickly and time flowed too quickly. Just when he and the National Education College came to this day, and were about to be in danger.

He didn't get along much, and it was apart for hundreds of years, so naturally he couldn't know each other, but he could feel that Archbishop Meilisha was really kind to him, and he was very... pity, as if he knew the biggest secret in his life, so he always had apologies when he looked at him, and any emotions were mutual. At this time, when he was about to die, Chen Changsheng didn't know what to help, and was a little helpless, and was very sorry, so his eyes were wet.

Meilisha asked Chen Changsheng to leave and asked Master Xin to enter the house to take a book from the bookshelf to see.

During this last period of his life, he was still reading a book, which was a somewhat old Taoist scripture.

He looked at it for a long time, then closed the pages, looked at the night outside the window and murmured: "Director Shang is such an amazing person."

Priest Xin didn't understand why at this time, the Bishop would remember the former dean of the National Education College, although Chen Changsheng, whom he had just met, was a student of that person.

"Interesting." Meilisha's thin fingers lit up the Taoist scripture twice and said, "I'm very curious about how the life of the next pope in Daozangli will be recorded in the future."

Priest Xin didn't understand, and he didn't want the Bishop to worry about the major events of the state church behind him at this time. He asked, "Who will win the battle tomorrow?"

This is a different topic, and I am really curious. It has nothing to do with being rich, but he really doesn't understand.

During the Great Court Trial, Chen Changsheng's victory can be said to be a miracle.

He broke through the realm and opened the secluded place on the spot, and then used the last move of the Lishan Sword to force Gou Hanshi to give up the battle, and then he won the first place in the first place.

Tomorrow his opponent is Zhou Ziheng of the Star Gathering Realm. He can't break the Star Gathering Realm on the spot like the Great Court Trial. Miracle means it is extremely rare. If a miracle will happen twice in just half a year, it is not a miracle, it is impossible. No matter how Master Xin looks at it, he can't see that Chen Changsheng understands the possibility of defeating Zhou Ziheng. He wants to know whether the Bishop really thinks that Chen Changsheng will win, or just want to increase the confidence of the young man at the last moment of his life and finally protect him for a while.

The petals gradually withered, but the plum branches remained firm, even if they were twisted, even if the indoor temperature suddenly became cold and it was bitter and cold, it didn't look like it would break.

Mei Lisha looked at the pot of plum blossoms on the table and said with a smile: "I still like Chen Changsheng."

Chen Changsheng sat in the hall, Luo Luo sat beside him, without saying anything, just holding his hand. The priests stood in the distance and did not come up to disturb them. People like Zhou Ziheng may sometimes forget the fact that this young man is already the dean of the National Education College, but people here cannot forget, and the atmosphere is a bit depressing now.

I don’t know how long it took, but Chen Changsheng raised his head and found that the hall was extremely quiet, and the priests didn’t know where they went.

An old man in a robe stood quietly in front of the mural in the hall, which was His Majesty the Pope.

The mural is very large, but it only paints a plum tree.

The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold. Whether it is the national religion, Nanxizhai, or Lishan Jianshe, they all inherit this view in educating the next generation.

Chen Changsheng got up and walked over, saluted respectfully, and then asked a question that had troubled him for a long time.

Either because it was special tonight, or because Meilisha spoke very directly before, he asked very directly.

"Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

The view here naturally refers to the Pope's view of the Holy Queen Mother, the royal family, and the world.

Chen Changsheng looked deep in the hall and said, "Of course it can't be because of me, and I don't think it should be because of him."

(I'm still optimistic about Bayern Munich.)
