Seeing that my expression remained unchanged and my body remained motionless, a faint flash of appreciation flashed across Huang Xuanran's face.
"You are very good. Kill decisively, never only against the enemy, but also against yourself! In life, you must eliminate cowardice and timidity, cut off joy and joy, and forget yourself when needed, only then can you achieve great things! You’re someone who really does great things.”
"I'm just a small person in the market. I can't do anything big. Fairy Lady thinks too highly of me."
"Want to hear my story?"
"Xiangu's experience must be extraordinary. I can guess it without listening."
"For ordinary people, I have some experience, but compared to a real hero, I am just a common man who has never done anything big in my life."
"Xiangu, I am telling the truth."
"What a coincidence, what I said was true."
"You tell me, I'll listen."
"Come into the palace and have a cup of tea."
"I still have friends waiting for me at the bottom of the mountain. Let's drink this tea another day."
"I see you have a cell phone."
I had no choice but to call Zhang Baoshan and asked him to go back first without waiting for me.
Zhang Baoshan didn't ask much. He just said that he would wait for me at my house and talk about the Snake Mountain God.
After sending Zhang Baoshan away, I followed Huang Xuanran into the Sanqing Hall.
The three deities, Yuanshi, Lingbao, and Daode, looked down solemnly. Their bodies were mottled in color. It was clear that they had not been maintained for a long time, but they showed no sign of embarrassment. On the contrary, they added a bit of vicissitudes of life.
There is a pair of old grasstails in front of the Tianzun statue.
There is a small stove in the middle, the tea is not boiling, and the packed dumplings are placed aside.
Apparently, Lu Chenyin had already prepared things when he entered the palace just now.
Huang Xuanran originally planned to let me enter the palace.
I calmed down and sat on the futon. I didn't speak first and just looked at Huang Xuanran quietly.
Huang Xuanran was silent for a moment and said slowly: "In the first year of the Republic of China, Yicheng came down from the mountain and began to travel around to kill the heretics and magicians. In those years, the world was in chaos, and evil sects took advantage of the situation to seek wealth and murder in the countryside and markets, almost to the point of being unscrupulous. At this point, I killed some well-known heretic warlocks and made a big name in the world. Wherever I went, everyone in the world was in awe. At that time, I felt that I had done something great, and I also It’s considered a success.”
I said: "Being famous in the world is what many people in the world pursue throughout their lives. If Xiangu has achieved this, doesn't it count as success?"
"But no matter how much I kill, I can't stop more and more heretic warlocks from taking advantage of the chaos. Then, the Japanese Japanese invaders came in." Huang Xuanran smiled mockingly, "What a famous figure in the world, here? This is bullshit in the face of the general situation. I also used my skills to kill some Japanese and traitors, but it was of no significance to the overall situation, and I was extremely confused about the future. At that time, it was not just me, but the whole country felt that if this war continued, the country would probably be destroyed. Genocide, repeating the history of the Manchu Qing taking over the Central Plains. Later, when I was preparing to assassinate the military police commander in Shanghai, I met a friend who gave me an article. After reading it, I felt like I was enlightened and enlightened. The pessimism was gone. So with the help of this friend, I went to Shaanxi and met the author of the article."
At this point, she stopped, with a look of nostalgia on her face, and fell into a long silence.
I didn't rush her, I just sat quietly with her.
The water on the stove was boiling and there was a crackling sound, which woke Huang Xuanran up.
"Sorry, people like to reminisce about the past when they get older."
Huang Xuanran smiled apologetically, picked up the pot, heated the cup and washed the tea.
The refreshing fragrance of tea overflowed, even covering up the strong smell of incense in Sanqing Palace.
"After seeing that man, I realized that the general trend of the world has changed. Magic skills can't save the world and help the people. So I took off my Taoist robe and put on my military uniform. I forgot my identity as a Taoist and became an ordinary person. The identity of the military doctor followed most of the war between the north and the south. After 1949, he settled down in the capital. It was not until the end of 1976 that he left the capital and returned to Gaotianguan to become a female champion again."
"Why come back?"
I don't understand something.
Sister Miao never tells me these things.
My life with her is just an endless road.
These big things are too far away from us.
"Because that person died, the general trend of the world has changed again. I am just a small man in the market. I don't have the unparalleled courage to change the world. I can only wait for the time and go with the flow. I have followed that person for so many years, and I have learned a truth, which I will pass on to you."
Huang Xuanran picked up the tea cup and gestured to me.
I picked up the tea cup and said, "I don't know how to taste tea, and I'm not used to drinking tea. It only feels bitter and astringent, and never tastes good. Good tea is wasted on me."
"Actually, I'm not used to drinking tea either."
Even though he said this, Huang Xuanran still drank the boiling tea in the cup, then put it down heavily, stared at me and said: "If you want to achieve great things, you must make a conspiracy!"
I didn't drink the tea, so I put the teacup back to its original position and said, "Xiangu, you think too highly of me. I'm just a common man who can't do anything big."
I've said this once.
I repeat it again to show my attitude.
I don't want to get involved in the big things she wants to do.
"Try it, this tea is good." Huang Xuanran raised his hand to me, "I am also a small man in the market who can't do anything big, but now the time has come. If God doesn't take it, I will suffer the consequences. Can you It is an opportunity to come here to meet a dead person like me. If you don’t want to accept this opportunity, then just pretend that I didn’t say anything before. But if you accept it, it won’t take long before you will no longer be a businessman. Villain. When the time comes, just remember this sentence."
I still didn't serve the tea and said, "My identity can only be used for one year. After one year, I don't dare to say whether I live or die."
Huang Xuanran raised his hand to me again and said: "I have never made a mistake in recognizing people in my life. Your appearance is fake, but the person is real. You only need to say whether to accept or not, the rest is just a sentence , do your best and obey fate, you don’t need you and me to worry about it in advance.”
I picked up the teacup again and asked again: "I don't understand. I'm a heretic sorcerer. Why did you choose me? You have an apprentice."
"You said it, human affairs need to be done by human beings." Huang Xuanran said, "Chenyin is not a human being now and will not be in the future. She can only serve as a sign and cannot afford such a big opportunity. We It is true that Gao Tian Guan is hostile to heretic sorcerers, but there is a kind of heretic sorcerer that has never been within our hunting range."
I breathed out slowly, "Mr. Yinmai?"
Huang Xuanran said: "The pulses are divided into two parts: Yin and Yang, and there is no dual world between good and evil. Mr. Yinmai learned from the lineage of Ge Xian, and he was originally the orthodox Taoist lineage. However, his descendants were involved in Sun En's Five Dou Rice Taoist rebellion, and he was not recognized by the orthodox Taoism from then on. He is counted as a heretic sorcerer. Speaking of which, you, Mr. Yinmai, have some connection with the inheritance of Gao Tian Guan."
