"But I'm not a gentleman, what should I do?"
…
"Mr. Thirteenth of Suzaku Academy is naturally not a gentleman, and everyone in the world knows it." Taoist Jinglong picked up the wine glass and took a sip, with a slight smile on his face.
Chu Xiu paused, feeling a little unhappy for no reason.
He said that he was not a gentleman, which meant a certain degree of self-effacement. He did not want the Jinglong Taoist to deny him.
"At this time, as an elder, you should encourage me." Chu Xiu muttered.
Taoist Jinglong laughed and said, "I think you don't like to be a gentleman."
Chu Xiu was not angry, "I don't like to be a fool. Does it matter whether I encourage you or not? I don't like being alone yet, but I just like to be strong enough to seek defeat alone."
"You are indeed not a gentleman." Taoist Master Jinglong smiled, "But who in the world doesn't know that Mr. Thirteenth of Suzaku Academy values feelings the most?
You have been in danger several times, but which time was it not for the people around you or your good friends? "
"In your opinion, is this an advantage or a disadvantage?" Chu Xiu asked sincerely.
Taoist Jinglong smiled and said: "As your friends, they will never think that this is your shortcoming; as your enemies, they must like your love and justice;
As someone who has nothing to do with you, they will praise your noble qualities.
No matter whether you are a friend, an enemy, or someone who doesn't matter, I don't dislike your love and justice, or even like you.
Do you think this is an advantage or a disadvantage? "
"When you say this, no one in the world seems to hate me?" Chu Xiu muttered, and then asked suspiciously, "But why do I feel that many people are scolding me?"
"Are you sure they are scolding you?" Taoist Jinglong said meaningfully.
Chu Xiu paused and nodded, "You are right. I am Chu Xiu, the thirteenth master of Zhuque Academy. My Taoist name is Huang. Who dares to scold me? Who can bear such a big cause and effect?"
Taoist Jinglong didn't quite understand this sentence, and he didn't care. He took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "I have a vague feeling that if you have the same strength as the dean, you won't stay in the Nineteen States for a long time."
"Oh? Why?" Chu Xiu was curious. He hadn't thought about it himself. Why did the Jinglong Taoist make such a guess?
"You are too young and have unlimited potential." Taoist Jinglong said softly, "You are so powerful now, and it won't be long before no one in the nineteen states is your opponent.
Your mentality is still very young, which is different from that of the dean.
Nineteen states are actually too small for you.
Here, your peers are no longer your opponents. Fighting with some old guys all day should be very boring for your age. "
Chu Xiu drank and said nothing. Since joining Suzaku Academy, his opponents seemed to have automatically upgraded to the older generation.
"The world outside may not be stronger than ours here." Chu Xiu whispered, thinking of the ruined Netherworld Territory, and the Netherworld Territory where he had refined the spirit of heaven and earth, and felt unspeakable for a moment.
Taoist Jinglong raised his head and looked at the sky, "Heaven and earth should be different. The dean left the Nineteenth Prefecture in a young manner."
Chu Xiu was startled and raised his head to look at the sky.
There is another world above the sky; this world is where Master Chen Changsheng went, and is called the 'other shore' by some people.
"How many worlds are there outside the Nineteen States?" Jinglong Taoist said softly, "The ants in front of us are as small as dust;
In front of heaven and earth, we are as small as dust.
Is there a time when heaven and earth are as small as dust? "
"Is this your thinking?" Chu Xiu was surprised.
Taoist Jinglong shook his head and said: "When people get older, they like to be quiet and not move. Sometimes their heads are empty, and sometimes they like to think wildly.
Pindao has been thinking recently, why do elderly masters stay in seclusion for decades?
Does it really take decades to understand the way you have learned?
When you are in retreat, are you really enlightening?
There must be some masters who truly devote themselves to enlightenment.
But the vast majority of people only realize one-sided Tao, which cannot prevent the decay of the body at all. Even the mind slowly decays in the process of enlightenment. "
Chu Xiu was speechless for a moment, knowing that the Jinglong Taoist was not talking to him, but was speaking about his thoughts as he approached his twilight years.
There was a hint of unwillingness in it.
"You should go for a walk in the world outside." Chu Xiu said softly, "Actually, the resources of the world in our Nineteen States are very scarce compared to other worlds, and the spiritual energy is also relatively thin."
"Let's see when Jing Lei will be born." Taoist Jing Long suddenly smiled.
"Then I won't persuade you any more." Chu Xiu said with a smile, "I feel that your way is a sunny road."
"Really?" Taoist Jinglong raised his glass, "Based on your words, we should have three drinks."
"I prefer to pour it directly from the jar." Chu Xiu directly raised the wine jar and touched it lightly with Taoist Jinglong.
Then, he drank the monkey wine like crazy.
"It's so good to be young." Taoist Jinglong sighed softly, and raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp.
Chu Xiu chatted with Taoist Jinglong for a long time, talking about each other, the Youtian Territory, the Nineteen States, Jingyun...
He gave up his plan to tear the sky apart and compare his strength with his master Chen Changsheng.
That might hit the Taoist Master Jinglong.
Back when he was in Chang'an City, Chu Xiu had a good impression of the Taoist Master Jinglong.
Goodbye now, chatting happily.
Chu Xiu stayed in Cangqiong Mountain for a total of three days and exchanged some cultivation experiences with Taoist Master Jinglong.
"Is Jingyun lucky or unlucky to live in the same era and become friends with such a monster?" Jinglong Taoist looked at the departing figures of Chu Xiu and Tiannvhui with deep emotion.
He could clearly feel that the temperament exuded by Chu Xiu was completely different from the past, and there was a faint sense of detachment.
With his strength greatly enhanced and no threat from foreign enemies for the time being, Chu Xiu left Cangqiong Mountain and embarked on a journey to accompany the beauty to visit the Nineteen States.
What he didn't expect was that the Nineteen Prefectures were no longer the Nineteen Prefectures they once were.
The war spread to almost every state.
"It's really troublesome."
After only spending three months with Tiannuzhen, Tiannuhui, Tiannurui, and Tiannuyun, Chu Xiu had to let the four women enter his third space.
The Buddhist sects in the Wild Sky Territory are also causing trouble.
Chu Xiu stood in the sky, patrolling the earth like a god.
He opened his third eye, and the invisible and immaterial spirit flowing between heaven and earth was clearly visible.
One general succeeds and ten thousand bones wither.
Countless living beings died in the war, and their spirits seemed to be drawn, floating in the direction of Florida.
"It seems that more than just spirits are moving..." Chu Xiu was surprised and stared at the earth closely. Under the gaze of his third eye, some battlefields appeared dark red.
In the sky, formless spirits are floating; under the earth, there are also dark red fluctuations, slowly moving in a certain direction.
"That's...the Flame Demon Cave?"
