Luojia Mountain is like water at night.

The first mountain in Tiandu, the inner gate sits on seventy-two peaks.

The steps of the mountain are full of red maples, the wind is not strong tonight, and it rained some time ago, so the potholed mountain road has not accumulated deep rain, and the puddles reflect two young people who have strolled.

Ning Yi and Chen Yi walked side by side, there was no difference between front and back, and the pace was slow and calm.

Droplets of water splashed from the puddle.

The silhouette of the maple leaf is sparse.

It's been a long time since the two have walked together like this.

And the last time...... is very similar to the scene of sitting on the mountain today, the young pope who has not yet completely grasped the power, and the little uncle of Shushan who has not yet fully embarked on the path of cultivation, the two teenagers gossip in the late autumn of a certain year, and between the topics, they are talking about the "ghosts" that do not exist in the world in the Taoist scriptures.

And this time, it seems to be destined in the dark, and it seems to be Chen Yi's intention.

Ning Yi never spoke.

He spoke first, "There is light and darkness in the world...... The 'shadow' who assassinated me earlier has many characteristics on his body, which are contrary to this bright world, and if there are really dark creatures living underground, it should be said that they are them. ”

When Chen Yi said this, his eyes were calm and clear, and he looked at Ning Yi, wanting to see something in Ning Yi's eyes.

The identity of the sword bearer, even in the eyes of several Nirvana realm powerhouses in the Great Sui world, can be regarded as a secret...... It is undeniable that there should be old people in the Sanqing Pavilion of the Taoist Sect who know about their existence.

But even the ancestors of the West Sea "only know what it is, but don't know why".

Ning Yi's expression was calm, and he couldn't see the slightest ripple.

As long as the Daoist Sect is willing to investigate, I believe it will not be difficult to find out, and the "shadow" cannot be killed...... And the fact that he succeeded in killing the unkillable speaks for itself.

Today's Chen Yi, what his words refer to, seems to be this direction.

He pretended to be confused and said, "Your Excellency, what do you mean?"

"The Sanqing Pavilion who is in charge of investigating this matter told me that 'that thing' is very difficult to kill......," Chen Yi smiled and said, "Although I don't know how to practice, I know it...... The relationship between life and death is irreversible, and everything in the world is destined for cause and effect. Flowers, plants, trees, people, birds, fish and insects, as long as they are 'alive', can be killed. Therefore, no matter how difficult it is to 'kill' a 'living thing', as long as it is 'alive', then there is a way to make it die. ”

There was a pause.

Chen Yi's eyes had a hint of firmness in his eyes, and he said seriously: "I won't go to find out your secret...... Ning Yi, it's a good thing that you can kill 'it'. I just want to ask you one question, if there is another 'creature' like this in the future, can you make sure that you kill it again?"

Ning Yi's eyes were a little relieved.

He understood what the Pope meant.

Now that the two sides have reached a consensus on their cognition, there is indeed no need for him to hide it.

Ning Yi hesitated for a moment and said, "If the difference in the cultivation realm is not big...... Then it should be possible. ”

"Good...... I have a foreboding ......" Chen Yi looked at Ning Yi and said, "One day in the future, 'this thing' will become a disaster." If you need the Dao Sect at that time, then the Dao Sect will definitely stand behind you. ”

After he finished speaking, he smiled, put two fingers in front of his lips, and said, "No outsider can hear these words today, so I'm not joking...... Ning Yi, I think you can become a very powerful great cultivator. This is my promise, not just empty words. ”

Ning Yi let out a long breath, looked directly into Chen Yi's eyes, and said

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

"I remember. ”

The promise of Taoism......

This sentence is worth a thousand gold.

"Do you see the stagnant water on the ground?" Chen Yi pointed to the puddle on the ground and said, "Not long ago, it rained on Luojia Mountain...... During this time, it often rains, not the kind of light rain that is warm and drizzly, but a majestic rain with thunderstorms overlapping. ”

Speaking of this, Chen Yi's expression was not relaxed.

The young Pope's face was solemn.

He raised his eyebrows and pointed out: "The thunder within a radius of ten miles has all been sucked into the palace. ”

He did not specify in detail where the thunderbolts had gone after they had been sucked into the palace......

There is no need to say any more.

Ning Yi narrowed his eyes and said, "I heard about this...... Your Majesty's health is very good, and his cultivation realm is still climbing, and it is said that he is only one line away from 'immortality', is this true?"

Chen Yi didn't speak, silence was the best answer.

Unconsciously, the two of them had already walked down Zalishan Mountain and walked in the wooded mountain road of Luojia Mountain.

"In the past five hundred years, there have been shocks and twists and turns, wars have broken out in the far north, and ghost cultivation in the south has also been rampant for a while...... But at the end of the day, it's peaceful. So he is a Ming monarch, if you look down on it, today there is no one more suitable to be an emperor than him. Chen Yi sighed softly: "The power of Dao Sect and Lingshan is so strong, they can compete with the imperial power for thousands of years, and now they have gradually moved away from power and wandered on the fringes of the heavenly capital...... Xiling and Dongtu, who govern the soil outside the four realms for him, are the most loyal stewards of the Great Sui royal family. ”

"But too much power to gather into the hands of one person...... It's always going to cause dissatisfaction. ”

"If that person lives a long time, then the discontent that gathers in the four places will continue to pile up, and if that person tries to live longer...... Then the evolution of the situation will tend in a certain bad direction."

It came to an abrupt end.

Ning Yi didn't know why Chen Yi was talking to him about this.

He had a vague feeling that these topics pointed to the depths of the current situation...... A future that you can see, but you shouldn't see.

"I sit in the seat of the Taoist sect, I have never had a dream of stability, I tremble every day, I dare not relax in the slightest, and I look ...... The four academies, the ten holy mountains, those holy mountain lords, and elders were very respectful to me, but in fact, in the eyes of the real big people, I was just a 'pawn' who could die at any time. Chen Yi said in a wooden tone, word by word: "You should know...... Heaven does not allow the Pope to practice, right?"

Ning Yi nodded.

A long time ago, when Xu Zang was teaching himself to practice, he had told himself this strange rule.

"The deaths of countless people have propelled me into this position. I was born in response to the call, and the Sanqing Pavilion gave me more power than the previous popes......" Chen Yi sneered: "But I will still worry that one day, I will be like the unlucky people who sat on this son in the previous ones...... Unknowingly, he died and was buried in the heavy snow of Tiandu City. ”

"Because I'm just an ordinary person. ”

"It doesn't cost anything to kill me...... If it was the emperor's will, then Xiling could only compromise. ”

"So the first thing I did after taking office was to visit all the four realms of the Great Sui before rushing to Tiandu City to celebrate my birthday. Chen Yi looked calm, looked at Ning Yi, and said what he had hidden in his heart for a long time, he said the road he had traveled and the things he had done a few years ago, his eyes were blank, as if he was talking about other people's lives: "I'm going to show grace,

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Go and pray for blessings, where the Xiling carriage passes, I let everyone know...... Today's Pope Xiling is a young man named 'Chen Yi'. If everyone in the world knew my name, then even if I died, this matter would not be quietly hidden, no matter how perfect those people were, it would eventually be a little spark, and some unknowable flames would be ignited, maybe one day...... It will become a great fire wave that burns the night. ”

The words are calm.

But the waves are turbulent.

Ning Yi couldn't believe that this young pope, who seemed harmless to humans and animals, had such a meticulous mind...... Chen Yi's ascension to the throne has been buried in an unknowable secret scroll, and it is said that many people sacrificed for him, and in the end, the Sanqing Pavilion made a big compromise and chose to support him.

So which force is pushing him at all costs?

For what?

Actually, that's it...... In Ning Yi's mind, a very bold idea had already emerged.

He fell silent for a moment.

Because the idea is so bold and crazy.

He didn't know what to say for a moment.

It's been a long time.

He looked at Chen Yi and said, "I don't know if I'm right......

"You're right. Chen Yi was a little dumbfounded, and said with a straightforward smile: "It's just that there are some things you don't know yet, so when everything happens, you will only be more shocked than now." ”

Ning Yi rubbed his eyebrows and frowned, "You can choose to take a step back." ”

"If I had a choice. Chen Yi smiled and said, "Maybe I'll do that." ”

"He has no weaknesses. ”

"There are no saints in the world...... Chen Yi smiled, looked at Ning Yi, and said seriously: "There is no real immortality in this world, there is no now, and there will be no ...... in the future So everyone is mortal, where is there a perfect and unsullied special existence, so ...... There will always be some problems that arise. ”

There is a light in the distance.

Su Mu of Taiqing Pavilion was carrying a lantern and waiting not far away.

Chen Yi looked at Ning Yi and said softly, "I once asked myself a question...... What if there really were perfect saints?"

The two looked at each other.

"If someone can shed the blood of the so-called saint, then the world will no longer believe in him," the young pope said calmly. ”

Ning Yi's expression was a little complicated.

He looked at Chen Yi and said, "Why...... That's what you're going to say to me?"

This is a huge and meticulous task.

If there is a leak in one ring, then everyone will die.

Chen Yi shook his head and said with a smile: "Mr. Ning Yi, because in a sense, we are the same kind of people, and we also have the same thoughts and goals...... Isn't it?"

Su Mu, who was carrying the lantern, bowed down.

Chen Yi's expression was calm, he bowed slowly, took Su Mu's lantern, seemed to be in a good mood, and gradually walked away with a chuckle.

(The last few days have been a change, and maybe the next few days, not because the state is not good, on the contrary, the state is very good, because the next plot cannot tolerate the slightest mistake or omission, so it is very cautious...... From the chapter of the twelve o'clock, I believe everyone can also see it. I said that there would be a plus change for the 300 monthly pass, I didn't forget, but I'm not sure if I can write it tonight, I tried my best to write, and the worst case is to send it out at noon tomorrow. Also, at the beginning of June, I defended my graduation, and after that, I basically graduated without incident...... Not surprisingly, there should be an impact on the monthly ticket list in June, and when the time comes, we will come up with an update that is in line with the attitude of rushing the list, and I hope everyone can support one or two. ）
