Chapter 1,195 It doesn’t matter what’s right or wrong, everything is difficult
Just when Chen Chao threw the gray-robed Taoist's head into the sea and watched the blood gradually faint, a stream of light crashed into a Taoist temple in a deep mountain thousands of miles away.
The ancient Taoist temple was not big, with a green pine at the door. It looked like it was at least hundreds of years old.
There are not many Taoists in the temple, and they are now practicing their own practices. It was not until the stream of light hit a main hall in the temple that a Taoist boy ran out of that hall and found the temple where he was enlightened under an ancient pine tree.
Lord Aoki Masato.
Master Aoki is only middle-aged, wearing a green robe, sitting cross-legged on a futon, with two small green bells in front of him.
The little Taoist boy whispered something into the ear of Master Aoki. The viewer frowned slightly, but his expression did not change much.
A Taoist priest nearby also opened his eyes at this moment, saw this scene here, and asked in a low voice: "Master, what big thing happened?"
Although he asked this question, he actually had a premonition that perhaps another person watching had died in the west.
Ever since the war started there, the sect leaders of these sects seemed to have gone crazy. They broke their previous quiet practice and sent their disciples out to fight with the monks in the west.
But most people don't know the reason for this, but since the master has spoken, they can't delay and have no choice but to go out like this.
"Chishui is dead."
Master Aoki spoke calmly, not loudly, as if he was not surprised by this result at all, or maybe he did not regard the Taoist Chishui as an important figure, but after all, Master Chishui was also his disciple, and his realm
Not low either.
The Taoist was startled, "Chishui probably didn't go to the west. Didn't Master ask him to go overseas to pick up disciples?"
Master Aoki nodded, but was not surprised, "In this situation, no one can be sure whether the monks in the west have already sneaked in and used whatever means necessary."
The Taoist hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't hold it any longer and asked: "Master, why are you so entangled? In the past so many years, haven't we all been peaceful and just looking forward to immortality?"
Master Aoki glanced at his disciple, with a touch of affection in his eyes, "Lanyin, if things go wrong, longevity will be the problem."
Taoist Lan Yin looked confused, and after only a few words, he really couldn't figure out the joints involved.
"How to live forever? This is something that everyone has not figured out for so many years. After practicing till now, if you take a step forward and live a little longer, then if you keep moving forward, you can live forever."
"This principle is too simple, but the difficult thing is, how can we keep moving forward?"
"I think you have felt how difficult it is to practice. When you reach the end, it's like reaching the sky. When you reach Fuyun, you may not be able to take another step forward even if you practice hard for hundreds of years. Isn't immortality right in front of you? It's so far away.
Far away?"
"But even if you cross Fuyun, is it possible that you will truly become immortal? I'm afraid it's not that easy. Maybe there is a realm above, and you still need to climb up."
"In this way, is it true that only the truly peerless people who can keep moving forward in this life will be immortal? But how powerful will such people be in a few years? We will wait and see.
What will happen to someone who is already like this and is infinitely more powerful than us?"
"It's just that I really want to see that kind of immortality."
Lan Yin was a little overwhelmed by his master's sudden emotion, but he didn't speak and just listened patiently.
Master Aoki came to his senses on his own, and the emotion in his eyes dissipated a lot, "That's a bit far."
"In the final analysis, the reason why the two sides are fighting now is because of their different concepts."
"There is a disagreement about something. We should all sit down and talk about it together and finally come up with a way to deal with it. But this matter is too big and some people cannot be persuaded. So we can only divide into two sides and fight.
In the game, whoever wins has the final say.”
"Look at the things that happened in the past, which one was not resolved this way in the end?"
Master Aoki looked at Lan Yin and said softly: "It's that simple."
Taoist Lan Yin smiled bitterly and said: "Master, let's talk about it, you don't seem to have told me what that thing was."
Master Aoki smiled and said: "Is it important?"
"It doesn't matter what that thing is, and the choice I made has nothing to do with right or wrong. It's just that whoever has a better chance of winning will be on which side I stand. In this world, the last thing we need is right or wrong, and what we need most is
Stand in line.”
"If we stand well, we can always exist. If we don't stand well, does it make sense whether we are right or wrong?"
Master Aoki shook his head. The master of Qingsong Temple seemed to have a very thorough understanding of the world.
Taoist Lan Yin thought for a while, maybe he still failed to understand his master's true words, but he knew that if he continued to ask, he would not get the results he wanted, so he simply changed the question, "As for Chishui's death, we will not care about it.
?”
Master Aoki said calmly: "If you win in the end, you won't care. If you don't win, even your master will die. Who can care about whom?"
Master Lan Yin hurriedly said: "A wise man like Master will definitely not have any problems."
Master Aoki smiled and said: "It makes sense. You just need to follow me as a teacher. As for other things, you have to rely on your own abilities."
After saying this, Master Aoki closed his eyes slightly and was about to enter meditation again.
But Taoist Lan Yin spoke again, "Master, do you want to celebrate your birthday next month?"
"Why not? I don't know if there will be another birthday. Missing it may mean saying goodbye forever."
Master Aoki didn't open his eyes, but his voice still sounded faintly.
Taoist Lan Yin had no choice but to nod.
…
…
The coming and going of master Chen Chao made the three disciples in Shendu feel different. As the eldest disciple, Yu Qingfeng was more relieved. This was not because Chen Chao had to continuously feed fists every time he returned to Shendu.
But he was in too much awe of his master.
In other words, Yu Qingfeng could not care about anyone in the world, including Xie Nandu, who was his master's wife, but he would never dare to ignore his master Chen Chao who taught him martial arts.
Because Yu Qingfeng knew that if one day in the future he did something extremely irreparable, his master would definitely come and kill him if he was still alive.
He Liang didn't think much. With his master here, he could talk to him while practicing boxing and listen to his experiences and principles. If he didn't understand something, he could think about it slowly, or he could ask directly.
All in all, he felt it was good to be with the master.
As for the master who is not in the capital of the gods, he will not slack off in practicing boxing and will only work harder. However, he will look forward to the return of the master to the capital of the gods.
As for the youngest closed disciple Ning Qingnian, let alone these two senior brothers know what she is thinking, even Chen Chao may not really know what Ning Qingnian is thinking.
After returning to the capital of the gods, Xie Nandu resigned from the position of general. These days, he has not seen a single foreigner in Zhulou. This former general of the north is now looking at the three disciples of the Chen Dynasty like this.
, I also practice swordsmanship in my spare time.
Speaking of practicing swordsmanship, in fact, now that Xie Nandu's mind is focused on the way of swordsmanship, his progress is by no means slow. She is truly worthy of being called the most talented woman in the world of swordsmanship.
If Yu Xiyi were still in Shendu at this moment, I'm afraid his jaw would be dropped, and he would have to work hard for a few days in shame.
However, Sword Immortal Yu Da has already reached that point at this age. In fact, he is already unprecedented in the way of swordsmanship. We only have to wait and see whether Xie Nandu will catch up and surpass him.
The imperial court is actually very busy these days. A large area of northern territory has been incorporated into the country. Although there is no need to assimilate the aboriginal people, the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Personnel are still very worried. The Ministry of Revenue is worried about arranging for some people to go north.
It's very tricky. After all, people are not willing to go to such a bitter and cold place.
As for the personnel department, it is also very troublesome. The yamen in charge of the appointment and dismissal of officials. After the imperial court decided to let some officials go to work in the north, although they offered generous conditions for their official positions to be promoted to one rank, for the officials, it was still a hard job.
thing.
So these days, officials and courtiers are crossing the sea to show off their magical powers, running for connections and giving gifts. Anyway, they are not willing to go to the north.
On the contrary, in such a wave, the Minister Mi Ke Mi, who was destined to have a prosperous career in the officialdom, took the initiative to ask Ying to serve as the first governor of Beiyuan Province.
As the head of a state, such a frontier official, if he had been replaced before or in any place, he would have been carefully considered by the officials. However, since it was Beiyuan Prefecture, the officials did not hesitate at all and quickly reported the appointment and dismissal decision.
He went up, and the palace quickly approved it, so that Mi Ke's appointment as the governor of Beiyuan Province was finalized, which subsequently ignited the confidence of several officials.
As for Yu Xiyi, after returning to the Sword Sect, he was entangled in a lot of affairs, which made the Great Sword Immortal complain endlessly. However, the Sword Sect made it clear that the Great Sword Immortal had to adapt in advance.
The feeling of being a master.
He wanted to cry but had no tears. If Jiang Xiaoan hadn't started to deal with those things later, Yu Xiyi would have run away with his disciple.
However, as time went by, the Great Sword Immortal finally understood that the most suitable person to be the sect leader was right in front of him. He just needed to wait patiently, and it would be fine.
Thinking of this, the great swordsman felt relieved.
As for Chen Chao, after killing the gray-robed Taoist, he passed through the white mist, and then the boat drifted until he came to a pirate ship.
Chen Chao looked in front of him, walked off the boat, and stood on the beach.
Standing here, he felt a little emotional. Many geniuses in the past probably walked through the white mist and came here, and never went back in the end, right?
Thinking of this, Chen Chao couldn't help but feel a little unspeakable.
But when he raised his eyes and looked ahead, he saw another series of footprints on the beach.
