Chen Xuanqing and Ancestor Tianji sat cross-legged at both ends and looked at the chessboard in front of them. Ancestor Tianji slowly picked up a sunspot and said, "It's an ominous premonition. Sometimes, I really hope this is just your illusion, fellow Taoist."
…”
"But as a ninth-grade fortune teller, you and I must know that everything that exists must have a causal connection, and any feeling and omen must be pointed to something by the causal connection."
"Whether it's big or small, everything has its own destiny, whether it's disaster or chance, and it's beyond the control of the human mind. Between us, Taoist friends, why not just let nature take its course?"
Chen Xuanqing was stunned when he heard this, "How can I just let nature take its course? How can I settle down with peace of mind before I figure things out?"
Ancestor Tianji looked at the situation in front of him and saw that Chen Xuanqing's chess skills had improved again. He also used this method to trap Chen Xuanqing last time, and Chen Xuanqing ran away directly.
But this time, Chen Xuanqing gave a countermeasure.
Fortunately, he had already thought of this level and had a way to deal with it.
"What is supposed to come will always come, right? I always tell my disciples and grandchildren that it is better to cherish the present than to look to the future."
"Mortals have a short life span, but they can live it out. As monks, you and I have unlimited life spans, but the life span is short and long. Why do we have to live so tiredly?"
Chen Xuanqing narrowed his eyes, "This is not like what the ancestor of Tianji can say. They say that everything in the world is unpredictable, but you know the future eight or nine times, and you are planning every step, leaving behind layers of back-ups. I also heard about the battle in the trapped dragon situation.
Everyone in the world praises the master of the pavilion for his wonder."
Ancestor Tianji heard this and stroked his beard, "There are all wonderful praises. They were all from when I was young. I am already old, but as a fellow Taoist, you still have the same style, and you are still so young."
While the two were talking, a woman suddenly walked in carrying a teapot. This woman was extremely young, but her cultivation was low.
He walked gently to the two of them, picked up the teapot, filled Chen Xuanqing's white jade cup with tea, and then poured tea for Patriarch Tianji.
Chen Xuanqing is a guest, so he has to pour tea first.
But when the woman was pouring tea, she always glanced at Chen Xuanqing.
The woman stepped back, but Patriarch Tianji showed a smile, "Everyone in the world calls Zuo Jianxian a charming and suave person, with unparalleled strength in ancient and modern times. Not only is his appearance unparalleled in beauty, but his swordsmanship skills can even scare ghosts and gods."
"And there is no Taoist companion so far. All female cultivators in the world don't want to be by his side. I guess a Taoist boy like me has also admired his Taoist companion for a long time."
After hearing this, Chen Xuanqing slowly picked up the tea cup. The fragrance of the tea was like jasmine flowers mixed with the fragrance of osmanthus. It was slightly bitter and astringent when it first entered the mouth, but the aftertaste was extremely rich and sweet, like a young girl who had just awakened her love.
"I remember someone said that admiration and worship are the emotions furthest from understanding."
Chen Xuanqing slowly put down the teacup, "What do you think, Pavilion Master?"
Ancestor Tianji smiled and shook his head, "Since ancient times, strong people have been lonely and lonely. No one can understand you, fellow Taoist, and you are indeed lonely..."
"The world only sees Taoist friends on the surface, but cannot see into their hearts. However, if everyone wants to find someone who understands them, then the world will be in chaos."
"Let me tell you a story. There once was a female sword cultivator. She was so beautiful that she was like a fairy descending to earth. To use the words of fellow Taoist, I think of my clothes and my face. The spring breeze blows on the threshold and the dew is thick. If I hadn't seen her at the top of the jade mountain, I would never have seen her."
Meeting under the moon at Yaotai is the perfect way to describe it."
"But precisely because of this, there are countless male cultivators chasing him, but every suitor only focuses on her skin, and no one understands her."
"So in order to reject those people, she came up with a way, that is, she swore to God that if someone could defeat her in swordsmanship, she would marry that person no matter what."
"But this move only made more male cultivators pursue her. Countless people came to challenge her, but they were all defeated by her. Who would have thought that a woman's swordsmanship could reach such a level."
"It was then that they realized that the woman not only looked like a fairy, but also had terrifying strength. However, this did not stop the stormy waves and butterflies from pursuing her."
"It can be said that there are people challenging her almost every day. Over time, that woman's swordsmanship has become more and more sophisticated, and she has even become the best female swordsman in the world. This is really a combination of circumstances..."
Chen Xuanqing dropped one, "What then?"
Ancestor Tianji looked at the chessboard in front of him with some hesitation, "Then, she will die alone."
???
Chen Xuanqing raised his head and looked at Ancestor Tianji, "Are you kidding me, Master?"
Ancestor Tianji burst out laughing when he heard this, "Hahaha, Taoist friend is still too serious. Some things can't be understood just by thinking about it. Just because she swore that only the person who can defeat her can marry her."
"But her swordsmanship is the best in the world, so no one can defeat her until she dies of old age, so naturally she will die alone."
Chen Xuanqing couldn't understand the meaning of Patriarch Tianji's words. What did he want to say?
"I think what the Pavilion Master said is a bit biased. Why do you think he died alone? Isn't there a possibility that she likes to be alone and dying alone is the path she chose."
Ancestor Tianji pursed his lips and smiled when he heard this, "No, because at the last moment, she regretted it, but the oath was there, and she could not violate the oath of heaven."
"To be honest, after these people challenged her for hundreds of years, she has begun to deliberately let go. But her swordsmanship has really reached a level that is beyond the reach of ordinary people. Even if she wants to lose on purpose, it is difficult."
"That's how people are. Only when they are lost will they realize how precious they are. Only when they are missed will they be cherished. When they are away from the crowd, they will feel lonely. When they are alone, they will feel lonely."
"I want to say, fellow Taoist, you should cherish the present moment. Didn't Bai Di have a beautiful sister who pursued you? Her status is worthy of it. Both in terms of strength and appearance, she is the best among today's female cultivators.
Qingchu, can’t she even do it?”
Chen Xuanqing smiled when he heard this, "Master, please don't forget that I just molested Princess Baidi before. Although I didn't do anything but gave her a poem, but they said I molested the princess, I have nothing to say."
It can be said."
"It was also at that time that Bai Di's sister kept pestering me and asked me to write a poem for her. I said that the poem should be written for her. But she said no and insisted on writing a poem.
Even more special.”
"I stopped paying attention to her after that, but she didn't seem to give up. About a year ago, she came to Taixu Immortal Sect to see me again, once a year, rain or shine."
Ancestor Tianji laughed twice when he heard this, "Isn't this great? Why don't you accept her?"
Chen Xuanqing lost one piece and said, "If there is one, there will be two. It is better not to set this precedent. Besides, Pavilion Master, you seem to have lost."
