Rigpa Tathagata's face couldn't help but become slightly solemn. He didn't understand what the old Taoist priest meant by this sentence.
But he could also feel a sense of disappointment and loneliness in the old Taoist priest.
That is the lonely feeling of a master.
The old Taoist priest said: "I once had a friend. He said that he couldn't find a match, so he was too lonely..."
"Later, I understood how he felt."
"Today, I thought you could surprise me..."
"But I'm still lonely!"
At the end of the sentence, the old Taoist priest pinched out a magic formula with his left hand, raised his sword with his right hand, and stared at the monk in front of him.
At this moment, Rigpa Tathagata felt as if his scalp was being shocked by electricity, and there was an extremely dangerous feeling in his heart!
"This move of mine was taken from Yi Xue. I fought with an old friend in the past and lost in the end... But after many years, I have refined this move to the point where I can no longer improve it."
After saying this, the old Taoist priest's hands began to shake, and the sword flowers flickered and spread, making people dazzled.
"Excellent is the Qianyuan Dynasty, when all things are created, they unite the heavens..."
As soon as the sword came out, there was a muffled sound like spring thunder behind the old Taoist priest's head, and his whole body's energy seemed to turn into smoke and shoot straight into the sky.
Rigpa Tathagata's pupils shrank rapidly, and the intense danger made his whole body get goosebumps. He had never felt this way in many years!
At this moment, Rigpa Tathagata felt as if he was in the chaos of the universe. As the sword light flashed past, there were three thousand avenues and the heaven and earth were first opened...
Immediately afterwards, a ball of blood exploded on his right chest, and a bone-chilling chill penetrated his body, making him feel as if he had arrived in an icy hell again.
Rigpa Tathagata's body couldn't help but move backwards. After taking a few steps back, he felt that his body was weak and weak. He could only barely close his blood vessels to stop the blood flow.
The old Taoist priest did not take advantage of the victory to pursue and take away the life of Rigpa Tathagata. Instead, he slowly inserted the sword back into the scabbard and said a little lonely: "As expected, you still couldn't stop it."
Rigpa Tathagata looked pale, covered his chest, and said slowly: "How can there be such a fast sword in this world?!"
The old Taoist priest said: "Is it fast? It's okay. When I was young, I was faster than this."
Seeing that the victory was decided, Jiayang had no intention of continuing the battle with Zhao Hongxiu, so he jumped out of the battle circle, and Zhao Hongxiu did not pursue him.
She came to stop those who wanted to deal with Qi Dingxian and prevent Qi Dingxian from being affected on the eve of the war, instead of having to kill these people.
Since Rigpa Tathagata was defeated at the hands of the old Taoist priest, Jiayang had nothing to worry about.
"Go back, you shouldn't leave Bulun Palace." The old Taoist priest said calmly.
Rigpa Tathagata nodded, sighed, and said: "I came this time because I wanted to meet you for a while, but I didn't expect that after years of hard work, I still failed. It seems that you are really lonely."
The old Taoist priest raised his head slightly, looked at the sky, and said: "I have been very lonely since my old friend left... If he had practiced Taoism with me and not devoted himself to the national affairs, I am afraid he would still be alive now."
Rigpa Tathagata didn't know who the old Taoist priest was talking about, but the person who could make him miss him so much must be a very remarkable and interesting person.
"Let's go back." Rigpa Tathagata said to Master Jiayang, with a little loss in his tone.
Although his name contains the word "Tathagata", he obviously does not have the realm of "Tathagata" and still cares about the outcome of this game.
In fact, the defeat in this battle came so simply and neatly.
The two monks from Bulun Palace left like this. After this battle, Rigpa Tathagata was not only disheartened, but he also realized certain truths.
He planned to spend the rest of his life studying Buddhism after returning to Bulun Palace and no longer pay attention to worldly matters.
The old Taoist priest seemed to have seen his state of mind and thoughts at the moment of defeat. Otherwise, that sword might have sealed his throat.
The old Taoist priest gently pulled the rope on his shoulder, and the Bagua Sword fell down. Then he handed the sword to Zhao Hongxiu.
"Huh?" Zhao Hongxiu looked at him puzzled.
"In the past, I was obsessed with having no sword in my hand but having a sword in my heart. But my old friend said, since we are all using swords, why should we care whether we have a sword or not? This Bagua Sword was given to me by him."
The old Taoist priest said calmly.
Zhao Hongxiu was still a little confused and said: "So?"
The old Taoist priest said: "Now, both Qi Buyu and Qi Bingxian have become great talents, and this huge revolution is also slowly advancing."
Zhao Hongxiu looked at him thoughtfully and said, "Then?"
The old Taoist priest said: "I have fulfilled my promise to my old friend, and I am too lonely in this world. It is time for me to go home."
Zhao Hongxiu said: "This old friend of yours is from the Qi family?"
The old Taoist priest nodded and said: "When my old friend left, he once said to me that he was worried about the people of this country. Knowing that I would live longer, he asked me to keep an eye on him. If those who hold the cauldron go astray,
, just like his teacher did back then, he taught a few people who were enough to change everything."
When he said this, the old Taoist priest felt a sense of relief.
Zhao Hongxiu took the sword from the old Taoist priest's hand with some respect.
It wasn't until the sword left his hand that the old Taoist slowly let out a breath of turbid air, as if a huge burden had been lifted off him.
"I am a free and undisciplined person, but I never thought that because of a promise, I would have to carry my sword." The old Taoist priest burst out laughing.
After saying this, the old Taoist priest waved his hand and strode away. He wanted to go back to his Taoist temple, because he also felt that he might end his life.
Zhao Hongxiu couldn't help but ask: "Don't you care about the outcome of Qi Dangxian and Clark? This battle is related to the future of the motherland..."
The old Taoist priest said calmly: "Wherever there is freedom, that is my motherland."
After saying this, his figure disappeared into the darkening night.
Zhao Hongxiu couldn't help being a little awe-struck. She held the Bagua Sword, slowly raised her hands, bowed in the direction where the old Taoist priest was leaving, and said seriously: "Zhao Hongxiu bids you farewell."
After saluting, she couldn't help but stare at the Bagua Sword in her hand, and felt that the sword was particularly heavy.
It carries the friendship between two men, a great promise, and a heavy and tortuous history...
She didn't know the origin of the old Taoist priest, but she knew that he was a truly enlightened man.
Zhao Hongxiu went back with the sword in hand.
Qi Dangxian's face changed when he saw her coming back alone, and said: "You came back alone? My master won't be beaten, right!!!"
Even if he is as indifferent as Zhao Hongxiu, after hearing these words, he can't help but feel that Qi Dangxian is really fucked up...
He Duolian's face looked strange, and then she said to herself aggrievedly: "So, it's not my fault that I like to eat at the table. Master obviously likes it too, and I learned it from him..."
