Shan Changshou's birthday is a big event for everyone in the academy.
Everyone, including all the disciples who entered the academy, had prepared gifts early and gave the mountain chief their most sincere blessings on that day.
Qinglian Taoist Priest Wu Quanyi and Bamboo Forest Sword Immortal Yao Yan also prepared a gift for the mountain chief.
Technically speaking, they are not from the academy, so there is no need to be so polite.
But they really want to do it.
The reason is also very simple.
Because they felt that it was the mountain chief who held up the world of Great Zhou, not some bullshit court or some bullshit emperor.
If the mountains are safe, the world will be safe.
It's that simple.
Shan Chang himself didn't show much excitement. It seemed that birthdays were just like any other ordinary days to him, and there was nothing surprising about them.
Perhaps in the eyes of the mountain leader, he has become accustomed to the dull feeling on his birthday.
Zhao Xun learned from the third senior brother Long Qingquan that the mountain chief's birthday celebration this year was indeed the most extravagant.
In the past, Shan Chang's birthdays were more peaceful.
Zhao Xun couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
The mountain chief is too close to the living conditions of ordinary people.
No matter what, he is still the number one person in the world.
Zhao Xun never expected that he could not put on airs to this extent.
Of course, maybe this is the charm of Shan Chang.
It was obvious that he could ignore all sentient beings, that he could trample the emperor under his feet or even take over the Li family's world in his place, but the mountain chief did not do so.
Because in the eyes of the mountain chief, in the heart of the mountain chief, this is something that ordinary people would do.
And the mountain chief is not a common man.
He is a wise man who knows what he wants.
The mountain chief's mood has always been very good, neither happy nor sad, neither angry nor resentful.
Who could not like such a person?
The most important thing is that Shan Chang is still a very interesting person.
He often makes some jokes and makes everyone laugh.
In this regard, Third Senior Brother Long Qingquan did a slightly worse job.
Although the third senior brother Long Qingquan also likes to tell jokes, he often tells some cold jokes, which makes everyone feel embarrassed.
From this we can see that even telling jokes depends on talent.
If you don't have talent, sometimes you can't even tell a joke well.
So, there are some things that you really have to accept your fate.
"This gift given to you by the mountain chief's disciple is a handbook, which records every detail of the disciple's life from the day he got to know you to today. I hope you will always like it, and I also wish you happiness as long as the East China Sea and a longevity as long as the Southern Mountains." .”
"Haha, my good disciple, I received so many gifts today, but the gift you gave me is the one that pleases me the most. I like it very much."
The mountain leader nodded slightly, and then said while stroking his beard.
Zhao Xun felt very proud. It seemed that taking psychology as an elective was indeed useful.
The gift is not about how valuable it is, the key is whether it can suit your needs.
If you can do what you like, that would be great.
Basically there will be no rollover.
Because people all want to get what they subconsciously want.
But due to various objective factors, they cannot get what they subconsciously hope for the first time.
If there is someone who can help them get this thing at this time, then they will definitely have a strong impression of this person.
Zhao Xun has been working hard, and judging from the current results, he has hit the mountain leader's heart.
It is really not an easy thing to satisfy the mountain chief and have the mountain chief admit that he is satisfied.
Zhao Xun can achieve this, he is really satisfied.
"Well, you are all worried today. But I also want to say a few words."
The mountain leader glanced at the disciples and said in a deep voice: "Birthdays are just a situation. It is a situation used by people to commemorate something. But I don't think birthdays can play such an important role. It is nothing more than a situation. It’s just reminding us, reminding us not to forget. It doesn’t matter if I don’t celebrate my birthday, but since you want to celebrate my birthday, I hope you can remember what you promised me, and I hope you can remember that you paid homage to me in the first place. The original intention of my disciples. I don’t ask you to become a prince or prime minister, but I only hope that you can look up to the sky and bow to the earth. When you look up, you can fly between heaven and earth. It’s wonderful, crazy, and proud. , take your time."
Damn it, what the mountain chief said made Zhao Xun's scalp numb.
This is simply a top-notch speech.
What kind of big shot can say what the mountain leader just said?
It is simply impossible for ordinary people to compare with the length of the mountain.
Zhao Xun was completely shocked.
It turns out that Shanchang is really a perfect being in every aspect.
Such a person is undoubtedly the number one person in the world.
"Don't worry, Chief Shan. We have always kept your teachings in mind. It's not that difficult to have a clear conscience. It's just that most people in this world are blinded by fame and fortune, and forget the most precious things. What is it? They fight for power all day long, they run around all day long, they are just for that selfish thing all day long. But in my opinion, it is not important at all."
Zhao Xun paused for a moment, then raised his head and said: "In my disciple's opinion, the most important thing in life is to leave your own voice. I came, I saw it, and I conquered it."
Zhao Xun's voice is like that of Hong Zhongda Lu, which is deafening and enlightening.
"My disciple feels that people must have their own opinions and have their own thoughts, instead of being a bunch of trash who just follow what others say. When people live in this world, they must be good at thinking about problems and understand who they really are. My disciple thinks that in this world Most people have no idea who they are."
The conversation between Zhao Xun and the mountain chief pushed the atmosphere of the birthday banquet to its highest peak.
Everyone including the senior sister, second senior sister, and third senior brother felt very excited.
This is really exciting.
Junior brother is worthy of being a Wenquxing who descends to earth, he is just a good talker.
They would never be able to say such heart-warming and passionate words.
Although it was at the Shanzhang's birthday banquet, the junior brother was not reserved at all, but said everything he wanted to say in his heart.
Now it seems that this is quite good.
The old man, the mountain leader, was very happy and seemed very lucky to be able to teach such a disciple.
The senior brothers and sisters are also very happy. They are proud to have such an outstanding junior brother.
...
...
The birthday banquet went faster than Zhao Xun and others imagined.
It was over without them even realizing it.
Shan Chang obviously doesn't like formalism very much.
In his opinion, he should eat, drink, play and have fun every day.
This is the most beautiful existence.
As for having a big birthday party, it was completely contrary to his values.
Shan Chang is a person who values easy-going and easy-going life, a comfortable life, rather than being kidnapped by the world and bound to death by some rules and regulations. This is the most important thing.
If you can't do this, then there is actually no point in living.
You only have one life, so you should do whatever you want.
Zhao Xun feels that he has been more and more influenced by the mountain leader recently.
The mountain leader seemed to be able to influence many aspects of Zhao Xun's life with every move he made.
This is really something that makes people feel extremely happy.
Because there is a good person leading the way, all you need to do is keep up with him.
Rather than having to fumble around in the dark on your own.
The difficulty of the two is not the same.
At least in Zhao Xun's opinion, it is much easier to move forward this way.
Of course he knew that he could not live under the wings of the mountain chief all his life, nor could he live like this.
But if you can live for a day, just live like this for a day?
Zhao Xun still has a long way to go before he has grown to be strong enough.
During this period, the mountain chief was able to protect him from wind and rain and avoid many disasters, which was naturally very good.
In life, there are always many unknowns.
Zhao Xun hopes that he can continue to explore these unknowns, and also hopes that the mountain chief can protect him.
When Zhao Xun grew up, he would also protect the things that the mountain chief valued.
Maybe this is inheritance.
After the birthday banquet, the other disciples including Bamboo Forest Sword Immortal Yao Yan and Qinglian Taoist Priest Wu Quanyi all left.
The mountain chief only kept Zhao Xun.
This made Zhao Xun feel a little flattered.
It was not the first day that the mountain chief had pampered him alone, but Zhao Xu still felt extremely excited.
"My dear disciple, do you know why my master wants to leave you alone today?"
"Uh... Is it because of the affairs of the Alan Lore continental tribe? Or is it because of the Corruptors?"
Zhao Xun was not sure, so he asked tentatively.
"Well, it does have something to do with these things."
The mountain leader Youyou said: "I had a dream for my master. I dreamed of the day when Satan comes and the whole sky is covered. We can't see the sun. Even during the day, it's like night."
hiss...
Zhao Xun gasped when he heard this.
Is it so scary?
Why does Mr. Shanchang always have dreams like this when he dreams? Isn't this a bit too scary?
Zhao Xun didn't know how to explain it for a while.
But if you only look at the current situation, this is indeed a scary thing.
"You mean, the coming of Satan will change the rules of the world?"
Zhao Xun regretted it after asking, because even if this was really the case, he shouldn't have asked it so directly.
How should the mountain chief answer?
"Indeed."
As a result, the mountain chief's answer shocked Zhao Xun even more.
Because the mountain leader seemed to admit it.
"Judging from the situation in the dream, the advent of Satan has indeed changed many rules in the world. It's like the sun rises and a new day comes, and the sun sets and the day ends."
The mountain chief said without sadness or joy: "People have long been accustomed to looking at it as an objective ruler. Work at sunrise and rest at sunset. But what should people do when this rule is broken? What should people do? Life? No one knows."
It’s really heartbreaking that no one knows this.
Don’t even you, the mountain chief, know about it?
"Shan Chief, if Satan really has such powerful power, have you ever been able to defeat him?"
"have no idea."
The mountain chief once again gave an answer that made Zhao Xun dumbfounded.
have no idea?
What kind of answer is this?
"I think you can beat it, but you may not be able to beat it. But who can be sure before you have actually fought it? I think you should give it a try and take a look, and then you will have the results and answers."
Good guy, now the mountain chief is speaking more and more with a fairy spirit.
No fighting, no fighting, the years are quiet, it’s really good.
"Well, if that's the case, then naturally a fight would be great. I believe you can defeat Satan."
The war is about to begin, and of course the general must be cheered up.
The mountain chief is the absolute core of the academy, the absolute commander, there is no doubt about it.
Others, including the allies from various tribes in the Ellen Lore continent recruited by Zhao Xun, were actually auxiliary.
It’s okay to expect them to be the icing on the cake, but it’s impossible to expect them to provide help in times of need.
Therefore, Zhao Xun did not have much expectations for them in this regard.
Judging from the current situation, they only need to be able to play their role and act as a role member.
"I am also looking forward to this battle. Since I became enlightened, I have been invincible for decades. It is really lonely."
For a moment, the mountain chief showed some disinterest.
Zhao Xun knew that for people at the level of the mountain leader, it was sometimes very boring to have no opponents.
It's like having no goals in life. If this happens, everyone will be confused during this period.
Unexamined, like a walking corpse.
However, Shan Chang was not like this.
Even if the mountain leader is in such a state, he still maintains a good condition.
Even if there is no one in front of the mountain leader for him to chase, the mountain leader will still set goals for himself.
How rare this is, and how strong execution and discipline it requires to do it.
At this moment, Zhao Xun's admiration for the old man Shan Chang couldn't help but grow a lot.
The mountains are not as long as the sky, and eternity is like a long night.
Perhaps it is precisely because of Shan Chang that the world of Dazhou has a lot more splendor.
Zhao Xun certainly hopes that this glory will continue to shine brightly, because many people in the world rely on Shan Zhang.
They rely on the mountain chief, whose existence can protect them to the greatest extent and keep them in a completely leisurely state.
If something unexpected happened to the mountain chief, Zhao Xun simply couldn't imagine what chaos the world would be like.
Well, the world will eventually fall into silence, but Zhao Xun hopes that before that, they can shine, leave their own color, and leave their own voice.
This is really crucial.
...
...
Of course, it is necessary to give the things that the mountain leader saw in the dream to the sixth senior brother Lu Guangdou for analysis. As an expert in dream interpretation, Lu Guangdou can still see many useful things through dreams.
At least in Zhao Xun's view, this can greatly help them see many things clearly.
As for his mentor Qinglian Taoist Master Wu Quanyi, he is also an expert in interpreting dreams.
But after all, he was from the Taoist sect, so Zhao Xun thought it would be better not to let his old man interfere.
After Sixth Senior Brother Lu Guangdou has seen it, if it turns out to be really complicated, Zhao Xun will go to see his mentor only when Taoist Priest Qinglian has to take a look.
After Zhao Xun left the bamboo building where the mountain leader was located, he went directly to find his sixth senior brother Lu Guangdou. He did not delay at all and explained his purpose of coming clearly and neatly.
When Sixth Senior Brother Lu Guangdou heard about it, he realized that this was really a very important dream.
"Junior brother, did the mountain chief tell you this himself?"
"Of course, why did I lie to you?"
Zhao Xun smiled bitterly and said: "The mountain leader himself has been feeling emotional for a long time. Because he doesn't know if he can win if he really confronts Satan, and what is the chance of winning."
Sixth Senior Brother Lu Guangdou also fell into silence for a while.
Today's situation is actually very complicated.
He thought silently for a moment and then said in a deep voice: "The dream that the mountain chief had is indeed a bad omen. If we analyze the events in the dream, it means that Satan will probably really come."
Zhao Xun has never understood how to calculate whether things in dreams are opposite or the same as those in the real world.
But judging from the current situation, it seems that the sixth senior brother Lu Guangdou thinks that the situation in the mountain chief's dream is the same.
so...
"Sixth Senior Brother, if this is the case, do we have to make some preparations in advance? Although we may not be able to help the mountain chief. But if we do nothing, I will feel a little guilty."
"Um..."
Sixth Senior Brother Lu Guangdou said in a deep voice: "Little Junior Brother, don't think too much. The current situation is actually not much more complicated than before. Although the mountain chief had such a dream, it does not mean that the Corruptor In other words, Satan can do anything to us. How big a storm they can cause when they invade. In fact, as long as the mountain chief is there and the mountain chief guards Zhongnan Mountain, we have nothing to fear."
Well...
Zhao Xun always felt that the Sixth Senior Brother had a sense of blind encouragement when he said these words. Because he always felt that Senior Brother Six was not really that confident.
This requires Zhao Xun to deduce carefully to see if there are any loopholes in Sixth Senior Brother's words.
If Zhao Xun caught a loophole, he would immediately ask the sixth brother what he meant.
"That Sixth Senior Brother... We have been discussing what Satan is before. Every time he has to be possessed, he can be detected. Does this mean that Satan itself has no entity?"
"It can be understood like this. But in fact, everything we are saying now is just some inference. Because none of us can figure out what is going on. Because after all, we are not people from that world. We only use some existing The information is used to make inferences in a certain sense. As for how much of this inference is true, no one knows."
Well...
Sixth Senior Brother Lu Guangdou's words are really impeccable.
Zhao Xun originally wanted to deduce some useful information from it, but Sixth Senior Brother Lu Guangdou controlled it perfectly and did not give Zhao Xun a chance to find information at all.
In this way...
Zhao Xun naturally had no idea what to say.
Even though he has iron teeth and bronze teeth, if he can't find the right position, he won't be able to bite.
"Well, so we can just wait and see what happens?"
"Not really."
Sixth Senior Brother Lu Guangdou changed the topic and said: "I don't know if you saw the part about Satan when you read that classic. I remember there was a record in it, saying that Satan was just a collection of thoughts at first, and finally There are some records of possessing other people. But Satan has shown his evil side so far. If we can find his good side and cover it, maybe many things will be solved."
Damn it, what Senior Brother Sixth said was so mysterious, Zhao Xun felt a little dumbfounded when he heard it.
Even though Satan has a good side and an evil side, it is not easy to find him.
If it were really that easy to find and cover, the Corruptor Alliance wouldn't be so popular in the continent of Ellen Lore and expand wantonly, right?
Having said that, the reason why the Corruptor Alliance can be so complacent and do whatever they want is because Satan's evil thoughts have the absolute upper hand, causing good thoughts to be suppressed?
"How are we going to find this?"
"Naturally, I'll start my search from the vast number of classics."
"There are a lot of these classics. The volumes are so vast, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack."
Seeing that Sixth Senior Brother Lu Guangdou spoke so easily, Zhao Xun quickly reminded him.
The difficulty is really not that great.
"If it's not difficult, why do you need to take action?"
Zhao Xun didn't know how to answer the words of Sixth Senior Brother Lu Guangdou.
Good guy, it’s time to give him a hat.
Tsk tsk tsk...
Zhao Xun didn't know what to say for a while.
But judging from the current situation, what Sixth Senior Brother said does make sense.
At present, Zhao Xun is indeed the one who knows the most about the tribes in Alan Lore continent.
But understanding the tribes on the continent of Ellen Lore and understanding Satan are two different things.
Zhao Xun felt that he didn't know much more about Satan than Sixth Senior Brother Lu Guangdou.
So now the Sixth Senior Brother has directly passed on the responsibility, making Zhao Xun a little unable to handle it for a while.
"Well, Sixth Senior Brother, can you help me investigate together? If I investigate alone, I don't know how long it will take me to find out."
"Well..."
Sixth Senior Brother Lu Guangdou was a little stunned for a moment when he saw that Zhao Xun wanted to bring him in.
"Junior brother, are you serious?"
"Of course. There is strength in numbers. Not only you, Sixth Senior Brother, but I also want to ask Third Senior Brother, Senior Sister, Second Senior Sister, Tenth Senior Brother and others to join in. I believe that as long as all of us work together to investigate , we will definitely be able to find out the clues of Satan. At that time, we may be able to find a way to crack it. At that time, we will be able to share the worries of the mountain chief."
Zhao Xun knew that as long as he mentioned the mountain chief, Sixth Senior Brother Lu Guangdou would definitely let go.
There is no way, who can tell the mountain leader is the best person to them.
The mountain chief was so kind to them, and it would be unjustifiable if they were not able to reciprocate the favor.
...
...
Facts have proved that Zhao Xun's ability to persuade people is indeed outstanding.
After his persuasion, all the members of the Academy Youth League, including the senior sister and the second senior sister, agreed to help him search the numerous classics.
Finding out Satan's weaknesses is very important for today's academies.
As long as you can find out Satan's weaknesses, you can deal with him in a targeted manner.
After all, Satan has just arrived, and he doesn't have a dim view of this world, but he certainly doesn't understand it very well.
In this case, appropriate targeting should work wonders.
Zhao Xun is not a person who likes to exaggerate himself and belittle others.
But he does feel that the academy has an advantage.
The mountain leader doesn't say that he will definitely win against Satan, but at least a draw should be no problem, right?
Judging from the current situation, as long as the mountain leader can hold back Satan and create opportunities for the academy disciples, they are likely to find out Satan's weaknesses. Next, as long as you take the right medicine and attack Satan's weaknesses, you will be able to take him down easily.
Tsk tsk tsk...
The more Zhao Xun thought about it, the more he felt secretly happy.
Satan, Satan, your mistake is that you came to the academy's territory.
This is an academy that even Emperor Xianlong, a dog emperor who does not want to be a son of man, dare not provoke.
You think you are the master of the world.
Well, you might be in Ellen Lore Continent. But here, the academy is the talker.
If you want to conquer and implement your ideas of rule, have you asked the academy if it means anything?
As long as the academy doesn't agree, everything is in vain.
The more Zhao Xun thought about it, the more confident he became, and now he was desperately trying to find out Satan's weaknesses.
For a moment, he didn't think about food and drinks, and focused on searching for information.
This is not an easy task.
It is really difficult to search for some specific information in a vast sea of books in a short period of time.
Alas, we are still too far behind.
It would be great if there was a keyword search. Searching in a large database would be a hassle.
Today's situation is really a bit nerve-wracking.
From this perspective, it was indeed very difficult to be a wise king in ancient times. Not only did you have to listen to the advice, but you also had to review a large number of memorials every day.
These memorials are piled together like a hill.
Day after day, year after year.
No vacations, no retirement.
It seems that there is no hope of life at all, and it is more appropriate to describe it as having no love in life.
Of course, the Hunjun is much more comfortable than the Mingjun.
Not only can you indulge in lust and ignore government affairs. You can also do whatever you want.
Anyone who dared to offend Yan Zhijian would be slapped with a slap on the face of the court.
If he is still dishonest after being beaten, his head will be chopped off and hung on the city gate tower to show the public.
This is of course a very barbaric approach, but it has to be said that it is very effective.
Except for those few who want to leave their names in history, few want to use death penalty to remonstrate.
Emperor Xianlong must have caught the mentality of his courtiers, so he dared to be so unscrupulous, right?
To be honest, it is indeed rare for an emperor to be as good as Emperor Xianlong.
But there's no reason why Emperor Xianlong was so thick-skinned.
As long as you are thick-skinned enough, and as long as you don't feel embarrassed, others will be embarrassed.
Emperor Xianlong fully proved this point.
When Mingjun is too tired, he wakes up early every day and works hard at night, which is still thankless.
When you are a faint king, you don’t have to worry about this problem.
It’s time to eat, it’s time to drink, it’s time to enjoy.
Anyway, I have the power in my hands and a lot of time, so I am happy and pretentious.
Emperor Xianlong probably did this because he thought about this issue so clearly.
If everything develops according to the normal timeline, I am afraid that Emperor Xianlong will indeed live a very comfortable life.
But a time traveler suddenly came to this timeline.
So everything changed.
Zhao Xun's strength lies in that he deliberately stirs up a basin of still water and turns it upside down.
This is not an easy task, especially when the water has not been touched for a long time.
It's easier said than done to stir things up.
But Zhao Xun is a person who does not believe in evil.
If you don't deal with me, that's fine. We are at peace with each other.
But if you take the initiative to find trouble, then I'm sorry.
I can target you to the maximum extent, to the point where you go crazy.
Zhao Xun did indeed do this. He first stabbed King Wei with his hands and cut off King Wei's head to kick it with a ball.
Then Zhao Xun returned to Chang'an City to resign, and slapped Emperor Xianlong in the face.
If it were an ordinary person, he would have been killed ten or eight times by a thousand cuts.
But Zhao Xun is not an ordinary person.
Zhao Xun is a chosen son.
Not only is the background solid enough, but there are enough backers.
What kind of Qinglian Taoist priest, what kind of Bamboo Forest Sword Immortal?
Of course, the most important thing is the length of the mountain.
The mountain chief is the supreme and powerful man in this world. When the mountain chief roars, the earth trembles three times.
This is by no means a joke, but a very real thing.
As soon as the mountain chief took action, Emperor Xianlong was so frightened that his legs became weak and he peed his pants.
Originally, Emperor Xianlong wanted to embarrass Zhao Xun and take Zhao Xun's life, but the situation was reversed by the commander of the mountain in an instant.
Emperor Xianlong could not even save his own life, so how could it be difficult for Zhao Xun?
I have to say that this feeling is indeed very good. Asking the king of a country to kneel in front of him with his butt sticking out is an unprecedented feeling.
Zhao Xun only felt a breath of bad breath coming out.
As for how things will develop next, he doesn't know.
Take it one step at a time.
"Junior brother, look here!"
Suddenly, the third senior brother Long Qingquan seemed to have discovered something and said in great surprise.
Um?
Zhao Xun looked in the direction pointed by his third senior brother Long Qingquan, and he saw an inconspicuous message.
"The mother of Satan is the goddess of truth and goodness..."
This message is short, but the amount of information is huge.
After seeing this, Zhao Xun was shocked beyond measure.
Good guy, if all this is true, it just confirms what Sixth Senior Brother Lu Guangdou had guessed before.
Everything has a certain destiny.
Maybe this is fate.
Satan is really a two-faced man.
Since the mother of Satan is the goddess of truth and goodness, it is indeed possible that she has good thoughts left in her body.
This kind thought cannot be completely dissipated. It can only be temporarily sealed, and it can only be temporarily sealed for a short period of time.
Every once in a while, this sealed memory is likely to resurface.
In other words, these memories will be evoked when thinking of certain things.
The more Zhao Xun thought about it, the more excited he became. He felt that the academy's opportunity had come.
"Third Senior Brother, this piece of information is very crucial. I will record a great achievement for you first. Then we will follow this clue to find it. It should be very easy."
Well...
The third senior brother thought that his junior brother Zhao Xun would give him a reward immediately, but who knew that his junior brother Zhao Xun just drew a big pie.
If you record a great achievement...then you will be rewarded.
Just a piece of tiramisu cake, or black forest cake, or even a cup of poplar nectar.
Long Qingquan couldn't help but be a little disappointed.
But the junior brother had already spoken to this extent, and Long Qingquan couldn't be perfunctory anymore.
Otherwise, the persona he had just established with great effort would collapse in an instant.
"good..."
Although he was very reluctant, Long Qingquan still forced out a smile.
"Junior brother, we will definitely do our best to trace it."
"Well, Third Senior Brother, I'm optimistic about you."
...
...
After the birthday banquet, the mountain leader returned to the bamboo tower alone.
He wanted to be quiet.
It is a wonderful thing to enjoy some time alone.
Especially on my birthday.
The mountain leader can no longer remember how many birthdays he has celebrated.
He doesn't deliberately remember birthdays or celebrate birthdays.
His disciples have always been in charge.
All the mountain leader needs to do is attend.
It’s good to look at it now.
He didn't need to worry about anything. All he had to do was spend this birthday peacefully.
What does a birthday mean? It doesn't seem to have any effect other than being one year older.
At least that's how it seems to the mountain leader.
So he doesn't deliberately celebrate birthdays because he thinks it's meaningless.
But if his disciples want to celebrate his birthday, that's another matter.
The mountain chief thinks this is pretty good.
At least this way he doesn't have to worry about the reality of being another year older.
As he gets older, Shan Zhang thinks about more and more things.
Birth, old age, illness and death are inevitable events for all.
Maybe everyone thought about immortality at the beginning, but gave up after realizing that it was impossible to happen.
Of course Shan Chang has also gone through this stage.
When he first became the number one in the world, Shanzhang extremely hoped that he could live forever or even live forever.
Eternal life means that he can always occupy the first position in the world.
Eternal life means that he can be the Confucian sage of this world forever.
Eternal life means that he can be remembered by the world forever.
And death is like a lamp going out.
Once a person dies, all the history he created before is gone.
No one wants to know about a dead person's past.
No matter how great this person was during his lifetime, it is already in the past.
At that time, the mountain leader was very afraid of death. He was afraid of losing everything he had gained and many things.
Therefore, Shan Chang searched all the classics in the world, hoping to find out the method of immortality or eternal life.
But he didn't find it.
Eternal life is like an unsolved mystery that will never be achieved.
Although the mountain chief made great efforts to this end, it was still to no avail.
It wasn't until the mountain grew its first white hair that he had an epiphany.
Why waste limited energy on this?
Why should we tie ourselves to the big tree of eternal life?
Does it mean that his life is not exciting enough if he cannot live forever?
Or is it because he cannot live forever and others will not know that he existed in history?
Even those princes and generals can leave their names in history, why can't he?
Shan Chang only felt that the future was full of hope for a while.
Just like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw, the white-haired mountain leader had an epiphany.
He no longer searches for a way to live forever, but spends all his energy on living every day well.
Of course, the classics he searched from all over the world were not wasted.
The mountain chief built a library in the academy, and all the classics he searched for were stored in the library.
Since you can't live forever in the physical form, let's live forever in the form of words.
As a contemporary Confucian sage, Shanzhang has countless followers.
Strictly speaking, all Confucian scholars in the world are his followers.
Therefore, Shan Chang can achieve everything he wants to achieve as long as he is willing.
Shan Chang is inevitably aging day by day, and his gray hair is growing out bit by bit, but in Shan Chang's opinion, this does not matter.
Because everyone will grow old and everyone will die.
At this moment, he had an epiphany and began to stop worrying about these things.
He just wanted to ultimately leave something to the world, something worth cherishing for future generations.
So he began to recruit apprentices.
He hopes to pass on his understanding of life and the world to his disciples, and then pass it on from generation to generation through his disciples.
Isn’t this just another form of eternal life?
Why do people have to worry about the eternal life of the body?
After the enlightenment, the mountain leader was completely relieved.
As long as a person lives, he must have his own thoughts.
The mountain leader felt that he already had his own thoughts and perseverance.
So he lived happily.
Of course, the mountain leader has been waiting for someone, someone who can truly connect with him.
This may be what people call a confidant.
Soulmates don't have to be the same age.
There is no need for a confidant to be male or female.
It is enough for a confidant to have exactly the same ideas.
As a result, this person finally made the mountain chief wait.
This person is Zhao Xun.
Before meeting Zhao Xun, the mountain leader never thought that such a young person would have such a powerful talent.
Before meeting Zhao Xun, the mountain leader had never thought that one person could contain the three powers of literature, martial arts and Taoism at the same time.
Before meeting Zhao Xun, the mountain leader had not thought about many things and possibilities.
But Zhao Xun made him see many possibilities.
The mountain leader discovered that life can still be lived like this, and people can still live like this.
In an instant, the mountain leader understood.
The mountain chief decided that Zhao Xun was the last disciple he accepted and was his closed disciple.
Although Zhao Xun is much younger than him, and although Zhao Xun is his close disciple, the mountain chief thinks that Zhao Xun is his confidant.
The mountain chief would always chat with Zhao Xun.
When chatting, do not set any topics or set any boundaries.
The two masters and apprentices talked about whatever they thought of and talked about whatever they thought of. It could be said that they had a hearty chat and were extremely comfortable.
Shan Chang's first time
I saw the colorfulness of life and felt a long-lost pleasure for the first time.
This feeling was brought to him by Zhao Xun.
In addition to spiritual relief and enjoyment, what Zhao Xun brought to the mountain leader was also appetite.
This guy is really good at cooking.
Sometimes the mountain leader even wonders, is Zhao Xun more talented as a cook than as a practitioner?
Of course, this thought only passed by for a moment, because the mountain leader also wanted to impart all he had learned in his life to this most promising and respected young apprentice.
