Xiao Zhan led several people back to the courtyard. Du Hao and others helped Duan Lingyun bandage all the wounds on his body.
When bandaging, Duan Lingyun had no expression on his face. But when Du Yue and others looked at the horrific wounds on his body, their legs trembled subconsciously.
When the bandaging was completed, the blood redness in Duan Lingyun's eyes finally faded away. He returned to that decadent state again, without the slightest aura of a strong man about him.
Xiao Zhan looked at Duan Lingyun with a smile and asked: "Your wine shop collapsed, do you still plan to rebuild it?" Duan Lingyun shook his head: "If I continue to stay in this town, I will not get the peace I want."
"Master Xiao, I plan to move to another place to live in seclusion." Xiao Zhan shook his head: "If your heart is not peaceful, you will never be completely peaceful wherever you go." Duan Lingyun exhaled a breath of turbid air, clasped his fists at Xiao Zhan and said : "Master Xiao, please give me some advice." Xiao Zhan chuckled and said, "You have nothing in this world to miss."
"How can I advise you?"
"You don't have any pursuits, and living is like dying." Duan Lingyun gritted his teeth: "But...she wants me to live well!" Xiao Zhan said 'oh',
"Then do you think you are living well now?" Duan Lingyun shook his head: "I am in pain." Xiao Zhan nodded: "Why do you feel pain?" Duan Lingyun had tears in his eyes: "I am very lonely." Xiao Zhan His eyes suddenly became deep: "If you want to live well but feel lonely, then find an apprentice." Duan Lingyun trembled: "With my appearance, who would want to be my disciple?" Xiao Zhan smiled,
"You are a powerful person in the early stage of the Mahayana realm, how come no one wants to worship you as your teacher?"
"Let's do this. I'll give you a task to give you a goal in life." Duan Lingyun nodded heavily: "Master Xiao, please give me your instructions." Xiao Zhan thought for a while and said: "You go and establish a force, let's call it... …Let’s call it the Temple of War.”
"In the process, if you meet a good young man, you can accept him as your disciple." Duan Lingyun nodded, then turned around and walked out of the yard.
After his figure disappeared, Du Yue looked at Xiao Zhan with confusion on his face: "Master, Senior Duan Lingyun is so seriously injured, and you still ask him to form a force. Isn't this embarrassing Senior Duan?" Xiao Zhan smiled. Laughing: "He has no goals in life. Now I give him a goal, why not?" Du Yue is still young and can't figure out why a person has no goals.
Take her for example, she wants to practice with her master Xiao Zhan and become a strong person so that her parents can rest assured. This is her biggest goal.
Xiao Zhan smiled and looked at Du Yue and the others.
"Go and practice, the storm is coming." Du Yue glanced at the sky subconsciously, wondering how there could be a storm in such good weather?
Du Hao and others also walked towards the room. Only Han Xiao, the boy, was lying on the stone slab in the corner of the yard, sleeping soundly, holding the fairy sword.
Wu Nan kept looking at Xiao Zhan. Xiao Zhan asked with a smile, "Wunan, what do you want to say." Wu Nan took a deep breath and said, "I'm wondering whether following the peak master to the Zhentu Kingdom is the right choice for me."
"If I'm not mistaken, what Master Xiao said about the storm is that the Haoyang Empire is about to send a large army to attack the Zhentu Kingdom."
"And the Peak Master will definitely stop it."
"When the time comes, the Zhentu Kingdom will hate you, the Haoyang Empire will also hate you, and even our Xiuyuan Sect will regard you as a traitor."
"Master Xiao, this is to make two countries enemies."
"Even the common people in the two countries can't understand the good intentions of the adults." Xiao Zhan chuckled: "I do things with my heart, why should others feel it?"
"I said, I do this because I'm tired of the war."
"I don't want to see the smoke of war continue to fill the air." Wu Nan clasped his fists at Xiao Zhan and bowed: "Master Peak Master, the sect master is my master, and I am a disciple of the Xiuyuan Sect, so..."
"I'd like to say goodbye." Xiao Zhan nodded and said with a smile, "Then you have a safe journey."
"Do you need me to send you out of the Zhentu Kingdom?" Wu Nan shook his head and saluted again: "Master Xiao, among the people I have met, you are the most admired by me. I probably won't be able to in this life." To become someone like you." Xiao Zhan waved his hand: "No two people in this world have exactly the same life."
"You are you, I am me, you don't need to be like me, do what you want to do, this is the meaning of your life." Wu Nan nodded heavily, then turned and walked towards the door of the yard.
Qian Qianyiyi had just walked to the door of the courtyard when Wu Nan suddenly turned around and knelt on the ground, saying in a deep voice: "Master Xiao, I want to become your teacher. Do you think I am qualified?" Xiao Zhan raised his eyebrows, a little confused. He asked in surprise: "Sect Master Murong is your master." Wu Nan exhaled a breath: "Master Xiao, you just said that doing what I want to do is the meaning of my life."
"I want to become a person like you. This is also the meaning of my life."
"Of course, if you refuse, I have no regrets. At least I have expressed my thoughts." Xiao Zhan smiled: "After one month, if you still want to become my teacher, I will accept you as my disciple." .”
"This is not only to give you some time to think deeply, but also to be a test for you." Wu Nan nodded heavily, then stood up, clasped his fists at Xiao Zhan and said, "Master Xiao, I'm going to practice first." Xiao Zhan said 'Hmm' With a cry, the figure flashed and disappeared into the yard.
He flew over the town and saw the disguised imperial troops working with the residents of the town to clean up the ruins and rebuild the houses.
Xiao Zhan slowly raised his hand, and the ruins on the street began to surge. Those big holes were filled up in an instant, and a complete street appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Everyone looked up at Xiao Zhan and waved to Xiao Zhan. Xiao Zhan landed on the street and helped a resident lift a piece of wood and put it on the wall.
For several days, Xiao Zhan helped the villagers rebuild their houses. This makes everyone feel extremely unrealistic.
Because in their impression, it is rare for a strong man like Xiao Zhan to be kind to these ordinary people.
He is actually helping to build houses now. If you tell me this, no one will believe it.
Then one day, Xiao Zhan suddenly looked at the sky in the distance. In the crowd, the disguised Imperial Guards also followed Xiao Zhan's gaze.
In their confused gazes, two figures suddenly appeared in Xiao Zhan's sight. These two people were none other than Gu Chen, the leader of Xiuyuan Sect’s first peak, and Ye Qingcheng, the leader of the fourth peak.
The two people's auras were weak and there were many wounds on their bodies. It was obvious that they had gone through a lot of hard battles before they got here smoothly.
Xiao Zhan looked at the two of them with a smile and said, "Why are you here?" Gu Chen did not speak, but glanced at the residents behind Xiao Zhan, his eyes full of solemnity.
Ye Qingcheng looked calm and said nothing. After a long time, Gu Chen slowly spoke: "Master Xiao, what you did in the Zhentu Kingdom has caused a sensation in the Haoyang Empire."
"Countless people in the empire regard you as a god descending to earth."
"Everyone is also looking forward to your return." Xiao Zhan said with a smile: "Did the sect master ask you to call me back?" Gu Chen shook his head: "The Haoyang Empire has already sent a large army to the border of Zhentu Kingdom. , only less than a thousand miles away.”
"In three days at most, the war will break out."
"At most half a month, the territory of Zhentu Kingdom will be completely enveloped by the flames of war." Ye Qingcheng also said at this time: "Xiao Zhan, what are you going to do next?"
"If the royal family of the Zhentu Kingdom is killed, the Haoyang Empire will be able to secure victory in advance, and the people of the Zhentu Kingdom may be able to avoid the harm of the war." Xiao Zhan looked calm: "You are here to test my attitude. ?"
"In that case, go back and tell Tuoba Hongwu."
"The army of the Haoyang Empire cannot enter the Zhentu Kingdom, otherwise... I will stop them." Gu Chen frowned: "Xiao Zhan, are you really going to betray the Haoyang Empire and the Xiuyuan Sect? "?" Xiao Zhan asked with a smile: "Does helping the Haoyang Empire invade the Zhentu Kingdom count as betrayal?"
"I joined the Xiuyuan Sect because it is the responsibility of the Xiuyuan Sect to protect the people of the world."
"But the Xiuyuan Sect I see now is nothing like this."
"Have you not realized that Murong Xuantian wants to take over the Haoyang Empire and the Zhentu Kingdom after this war?"
"Murong Xuantian is the one with the most ambition." Gu Chen exhaled a breath: "Master Xiao, if you act like this, you are the enemy of the Xiuyuan Sect and the entire Haoyang Empire."
"Of course, with your current strength, you do have the qualifications, but what good will this do to you?" Xiao Zhan shook his head: "I did this, and I didn't say what good it was for?" Gu Chen's eyes were sharp. :"why?"
"I'm happy to," Xiao Zhan said with a smile: "Okay, let's go to my place and have a few drinks. I have some jars of good wine for you to try too." Gu Chen shook his head and faced Xiao Zhan cupped his fists and said, "Master Xiao, I have to go back and report my life to the sect master."
"I don't care if the peak master has any ambitions."
"At least what I am today is all cultivated by Xiuyuan Sect. As long as the choice made by the sect leader does not harm Xiuyuan Sect, I will definitely stand on Xiuyuan Sect's side." Xiao Zhan said 'hmm' : "Very good." Gu Chen looked at Ye Qingcheng: "Master Ye, let's go." Ye Qingcheng shook his head, looked at Gu Chen and said: "Xiao Zhan is right, today's Xiuyuan Sect , is no longer what it used to be.”
"I don't plan to go back. I want to visit the Qingming Immortal Kingdom." Gu Chen frowned: "The Qingming Immortal Kingdom is across the vast sea. Even those at the peak of the Mahayana realm dare not say that they can cross that sea." Ye Qingcheng shook his head: "These are not important." Gu Chen exhaled a breath, turned around and flew away without saying another word.
Ye Qingcheng took a deep look at Xiao Zhan: "I knew your choice from the beginning."
"I'm not qualified to judge your choice, I can only wish you good luck."
"I suspect that behind the Xiuyuan Sect, there is another Immortal Sect force supporting it."
"Murong Xuantian is probably an immortal from Qingming Immortal Kingdom." Xiao Zhan nodded and said with a smile: "Maybe one day I will go to Qingming Immortal Kingdom for a visit. If I meet him then, I will Please drink." Ye Qingcheng nodded, and his figure flashed, turning into a stream of light and flying away.
