Nightfall Chapter 72: Master’s story (middle)

The master said to his big apprentice, and to many people, that he is not omniscient and omnipotent. In many people’s eyes, this is normal. In colleges such as elder brothers who trust their teachers unconditionally and unreasonably From the disciple's point of view, the Master's evaluation of himself is obviously too humble, even almost proud.

In fact, the Master’s understanding is very clear. For example, at this moment, he cannot understand the smile in Ning Que’s sentence, nor can he feel the strong compliment in this sentence. He thought about it, no I wanted to understand, so I decided not to spend time thinking, and started telling my own story.

"From then on, I started to be a scholar of calligraphy in the Xiling Temple. I entered the library to read books. Naturally I would not miss this great opportunity, so I started reading books. I read a lot of books. Then, I unexplainably opened my mind, broke through the unconfined realm and advanced to the cave, and then continued to move upward, the realm cultivation became good. At this time, I found that when I read every day, there is a Taoist who has been there. Reading books in the library, you must know that the temples at that time were different from the temples of today. Taoists like to go to the world to eat and drink spicy food and do prestige. No one dares to control them, so the Taoists at that time didn’t like to read books. Taoists are very special."

Because the age is too old, the master’s memory is also a bit vague. He thought for a moment in silence, confirmed that he did not mistake the time sequence, and continued: "I watched the Taoist in the library for many years, and then we kept collecting books. After reading all the texts and books in the building, the two of them began to feel bored."

"At that time, the world was chaotic. Although the cliques in various places were also good at collecting books, there was really nothing good. I discussed with that Taoist, thinking that there are still seven volumes of heavenly books in Zhishou Temple that have not been read, so we..."

"Slow down."

Ning Que asked in surprise: "You mean that you and the Taoist were so bored that they wanted to find a book, so they went to Zhishou to watch the book?"

The master said: "I still didn't have much interest in practice at the time. If I didn't think that the seven books of the heavens were absolutely alone, where would I want to find Zhishouguan in the deep mountains and old forests?"

Ning Que was speechless, and found it really difficult for him to understand the way people thought a thousand years ago.

"What about then?"

"The people in Xiling Temple all know Zhishou Guan, but they don't know where Zhishou Guan is. The Taoist and I thought it was difficult to find, but we found it wherever we thought it would be easy."

"That's because you and the Taoist... are not ordinary people, and then?"

"Then then? Of course it is reading in the Zhishou Temple. The Taoists in the Temple will definitely not let us read, so we have to look at it secretly, as long as they don’t find it."

"Have you read all the seven books of heaven?"

"If there are more rolls, I can naturally see more."

"You should continue to tell the story."

"The seven-volume scriptures are very interesting, but the more I look at it, the deeper the doubts in the minds of the Taoist and I, especially after reading the Ming-script scroll, we all have certain questions about the world."

The master said: "But these were not the main issues that I considered at the time, so I waited for the Taoist to finish reading the seven books of the heavens, and then returned to the Xiling Temple together with him."

"Who is that Taoist man?"

"After a few more years, the Taoist entered the Temple of Light and became a great priest of Light."

The father glanced at Sangsang and said: "Like her teacher, there are some people who are worthy of admiration, but also very unworthy of admiration and stubbornness."

Ning Que thought of a certain possibility, held his finger to calculate the time, and asked, "Is that the Bright God Seat?"

"Which can it be if it's not that?"

The master shook his head and said: "The temple asked him to preach in the wasteland, then go. If you want to apostate and be upright, then betray, but he just ran to Zhishouguan to steal the Mingji scroll. It's really irritating."

Ning Que said: "I remember that Dao Sect asked the Bright God Seat to take the Mingzi scroll to the wasteland."

The master said sarcastically, “The thing that Dao Sect is best at is how to say it without embarrassment. In fact, Zhi Shou Guan found that the theft of the heavenly book was a lot of trouble, and even found out that I went to read with that guy many years ago. I had no choice but to leave Momoyama. Fortunately, the temple really didn’t notice me as a small person."

"After leaving Peach Mountain, I went on a parade between death. I said earlier that the world was chaotic, wars were constant, and darkness was too dark. It was much worse than the current world. The Taoism is unified, the temple is dominant, but it ignores world affairs and practices. Those who accompany and humiliate ordinary people, the worldly imperial power is extremely low, and the world is like a disc of sand."

"The only exception is the Desolate Empire on the Wasteland. Because of the Desolate’s innate physical strength, practitioners dare not act too recklessly. The guy stole the script of the Heavenly Book because he had doubts about Haotian. , So he chose Wasteland, not an unexpected choice."

"Later about that guy, you should know. He betrayed the Xiling Temple, and relied on a volume of heavenly books to create Mingzong, which was later the Demon Sect."

Listening to these thousands of years ago, Ning Que was shocked. Only then did he fully understand why there is no righteous demon in the academy. It doesn’t matter whether the junior master or the master has become a demon, even let The third elder sister accepted Tang Xiaotang as a disciple. It turned out that the ancestor of the devil was his old acquaintance.

I have a share in this.

"Although to this day, I still think that the guy was fooling around. The demon sect that he created was inconsistent and terrible. It was very boring, but I must admit that his behavior at that time caused a lot in the world. Vibration also indirectly caused some better noise."

"What to expect?"

"The Dao Sect is wary of his preaching in the Desolate Empire, so the Central Plains must be calmer, the temple is a little cleared, the people of the world will be able to live a lot better, of course, the so-called better life, it is just to live a few more years, Slightly stronger, if there is a war in the future, it’s easy to fight. In fact, people’s lives are still extremely bad, and they are no better than dogs. In poor mountains and bad rivers, people are dead everywhere."

The master was silent for a moment and said: “People who have not experienced the troubled times of the year have a hard time understanding the beauty of the present world. Sometimes I also feel that I don’t understand the chaos and misery. How did people survive? It can thrive, but the vitality of human beings is terrible."

"But I think people shouldn't live like this, shouldn't live like beasts, shouldn't live as bad as a dog, we should eat dogs instead of being eaten by wild dogs."

The Master's expression became serious, and he looked at Ning Que and said, "I want to end the chaos in the world. I think there should be some rules first, and then some kindness. If you can unlock your intelligence and recognize faith, then It is a better result, so I started to give lectures in the country, wanting to tell the world these truths."

Ning Que was silent, listening calmly and attentively.

"Somewhat annoying is that no one wants to listen to my lectures. In some places, it is because of being too poor. People worry about eating and drinking every day. They are not in the mood to listen to my lectures. In some places, the Taoist temple does not like to let me teach. In some places, people don’t like my lectures because I charge money for lectures."

"You don't need to charge money.

"What to eat without charging? I always have to eat."

"Teacher, you are really a realistic idealist."

"I like this compliment very much. Back then, I kept hitting the wall in reality, but I didn’t give up this ideal. I just became sober a lot. I gradually realized that if I want to affect the whole world, no matter how strong I am, it makes no sense. There must be a strong secular government, or religious help like Daomen."

"At this time, I was giving a lecture in Tuwei, Xianyang, west of the Weihe River. After listening to my lecture, a young man came to see me in the middle of the night. I thought he was going to apprentice, so I asked him to go to Tuwei early tomorrow morning. Dongpu cut three catties of meat and came again. I didn’t expect that he was not here to apprentice at all. He was here to recruit his men."

"To put it simply, that night, that young man told about his ideals. I found that his ideals also ended the troubled times, so I liked it and listened to it."

"So did you become his subordinate?"

"May I be someone else's subordinate? I just promised to help him."

"Teacher, that young Zhi... the last name is Li, right?"

"Yes."

The black carriage left Taoshan at some point and came to Chang'an City.

"The deserted people are strong, and the Xiling Temple depends on practitioners alone and cannot fight against it. Therefore, it began to rectify the order of the world. The soldiers of the various countries gradually grew in power, and the imperial power gradually rose. Tang took this opportunity to accumulate strength and encountered it for many years. Only when the style is smooth and the national strength grows stronger can we build this Chang'an city."

The master looked at the thousand-year-old city outside the window, thinking about the scene when the city was built, with a nostalgic look on his face, and said: "When I built this city back then, it should be considered the happiest day of my life." /

Ning Que looked at the huge bricks and moss on the wall of Chang'an City, thinking about the meditative feelings that he had given to the city, and thinking about the greatness of the former sages who had been shocked by the construction of Chang'an City.

Since the master started telling stories, he has often been speechless.

When you find that the most legendary and greatest years in human history, the glory that cannot be washed away by wind and rain, turns out to be by your side, you can only express your inner shock with silence.

After a long time, Ning Que woke up and muttered: "Chang'an City was built by you, and the Shocking Formation was naturally built by you."

The master said: "Yan Se handed you the eye of the formation. Some Taoists in the Nanmen Temple are still not convinced... This formation was originally mine, and it is natural to pass it on to you."

Ning Que said: "Of course, of course."

"What happened later?"

"Later Tang State began to conquer the nations, preparing to dominate the world."

"Why didn't it succeed?"

"The invincible hand of all countries under the world, but there is still a temple of Xiling."

"Teacher, did you not take action?"

"A person like a teacher, how can you do it casually, not doing it is the biggest shock...Well, I admit that although I was very strong back then, I was not strong enough, at least not sure, I am not surprised Under the premise of Haotian, the Xiling Temple was destroyed and all its disciples and grandchildren were suppressed."

"Teacher, you are strong enough to say such words."

"The truly powerful man in the world at the time was the wasteland. That guy had preached in the wasteland for many years. The demon sect was already ready to go south. Tang Guo was located in the north and was the first to bear the brunt. There was no way to avoid the wasteland. Forced to send troops deep into the wasteland, I also went to fight that guy."

"Who won?"

"I don't like fighting like your little uncle. I don't fight too many times, but I haven't lost."
