"That is, I was fooled?" Ren Zhen asked.

He was complaining in his heart, is Gu Jiantang a chess piece, do my bird business? Anyway, it's not me who is being used.

"That's right," Old Man Yang nodded and asked, "You paid the price of the Eight Realms of cultivation, and as a result, you found that thing?" ”

Ren Zhen sighed and scolded in his heart, "What he's looking for is me, not something." You're the thing, your whole family is the thing! ”

Old man Yang sneered, "I knew today, why bother in the first place?" ”

Ren Zhen was a little helpless, and asked instead: "With the world as a chess game, only His Majesty the Emperor has this courage." Why does she want to re-emphasize literature and suppress martial arts? ”

"The soldiers are feared by the dynasty, and it is not an overnight thing. The case of rebellion back then actually showed that the royal family was afraid of the soldiers, and it was only a matter of time before the soldiers were suppressed. ”

"The most important thing is that you can win the world immediately, and you can't rule the world right away. In recent years, although the north and the south have been-for-tat, the overall trend has been stable and there will be no more chaos. The north is not as rich and rich as the south, and if you want to reform the malpractice and rejuvenate the government and accumulate financial resources, of course, you have to rely on those Confucian students, not the sword in your hand. ”

"The emperor doesn't want you to sit on the mountain anymore and hinder her new policy of strengthening the country, and take the lead in taking you under the knife, which is imperative. It's ridiculous that you can be easily tricked! There is a lesson from the past, is this the first time she has played with a borrowed knife to kill? ”

Ren Zhen's face became more and more ugly. He knew that the so-called "first time" was still referring to the unjust case back then.

Old man Yang smiled slightly, "Speaking of which, no one in the world knows what the relationship between you and Ren Tianxing is." After all, after Yun Yaozong framed him, you only ascended to the position of a saint, and it is inevitable that you will not be regarded as a raccoon dog. ”

"But your trip south this time at least shows me and the emperor that his position in your heart is so important. That's why I said, you're so stupid! ”

Hearing the name "Ren Tianxing", which was regarded as taboo by both the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Ren Zhen was silent.

At the beginning of Jinling, Gu Jiantang said that he was looking for the three-eyed person, and he also mistakenly thought that this sword saint was the culprit who was in the same stream as Yunyao Sect.

Now from the overall point of view, Gu Jiantang went to find the son of the deceased, and most of them had no malicious intent. Ren is really a bit of a villain.

He muttered to himself, "Fortunately, I'm a good player." ”

"Being calculated and killing yourself is just the first mistake you make. After returning to the Northern Tang Dynasty, not only did you fail to wake up, but you made mistakes again and again, and became a pawn used by others. ”

Old man Yang stood in Gu Jiantang's position, just analyzing the original situation, how could he guess that the Sword Saint after returning to the north was no longer the person he knew at the beginning.

"Repeatedly humiliated and disgraced, it's not so much the reason why you retaliated against Yun Yaozong, I prefer to believe that in your revenge, there is also a hidden meaning of venting hatred for Ren Tianxing."

"In this way, wouldn't he fall into the emperor's arms again? He borrowed a sword to kill you, originally to weaken the way of the sword, but you joined forces with the Confucian Yan Yuan to count all the masters of the sword, you are lifting a stone to shoot yourself in the foot! ”

Speaking of this, Old Man Yang looked awe-inspiring, "For you Gu Jiantang, revenge is so important?" After all, you are a saint, shouldn't you stand on a high place and take care of the overall situation? ”

In the face of these two questions, Ren Zhen was speechless and could only be silent.

He is not a real sword saint, why should he stand in Gu Jiantang's perspective and take care of those father-killing enemies who are flies and dogs!

For Gu Jiantang, maybe revenge is not important, but for him Ren Zhen, this is the most important!

Although his soul crossed over from the earth, his bones and blood, his surname, and even the infinite glory brought by the eyes of heaven in his palms, all of this he had was given by his parents.

If the grace of childbirth is not repaid, it is no different from livestock!

Sixteen years ago, from the moment he crossed over to the infant baby, his mission was already predestined, and this life could never be separated from that unjust case.

Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if he wants to do this, in this big game of chess, who is not involuntarily?

As long as the outcome is undecided, who can get out of the way?

Can't resist, that's fate.

After being silent for a long time, he finally spoke, "If it were you, what would you do?" ”

Old man Yang was stunned, and then he was silent for a long time before he said quietly: "Let it pass!" Live well, that's the most important ......"

Ren Zhen said indifferently: "My predecessor came today just to persuade me to let go of my grudge and hide from the rivers and lakes, right?" ”

Old man Yang nodded, his expression complicated.

Ren Zhen stood up, shook the ground, and said, "Thank you seniors for taking great pains to guide me." If you want to embarrass me, please take action, if there is no malice, forgive the juniors for their resignation. ”

With that, he strode out the door.

He had no choice, and in the face of an overwhelming disparity in strength, he could only gamble on this one. As for other things, it's not up to anyone else to do it.

Where the heart desires, the past is fulfilled. Life is like a reverse journey, a reed to sail.

In this game of chess, he will accompany him to the end!

"Looking" at his distant back, Old Man Yang froze there, and unprecedented vicissitudes appeared on his face.

At this moment, countless emotions surged in his heart, and it was difficult to calm down.

I don't know how long it took, he finally retracted his thoughts and sighed leisurely, the meaning was extremely long.

From beginning to end, the little boy sat there silently, watching all this with cold eyes. After putting away his naughty heart, he was quietly extremely weird.

"Master, he has killed a total of thirteen times. Nowhere is it most obvious, when you say that dead people's things aren't worth seeking. ”

He was too young, and although he didn't understand what this sentence meant, he still wrote it down as it was, and obediently reported it to the old man.

If Ren Zhen saw this scene, he would definitely be shocked. He was as careful as dust, but this time he didn't even realize that there was a prodigy sitting next to him who was born to see through murderous intentions!

Old man Yang smiled with relief, stretched out his hand, and stroked the little guy's head lovingly.

"The aura of the mountains and rivers between his eyebrows, I originally wanted to take it from you. I'm sorry, you won't blame the master, right? ”

The little boy with the name of the great shook his head, full of indifference, and his smile was innocent and cute, "I like the person the master likes, I like it more!" ”

When Old Man Yang heard this, the smile on his old face became stronger, "I'm afraid it's because of these two strings of sugar gourds, right?" ”

Xiao Xiao blinked his eyes wide, and asked timidly, "Master, why are you so good to that uncle?" We're here to find him this time, right? ”

"Well...... this"

Old man Yang frowned, and all the wrinkles on his face were folded, and he became much older in an instant.

"Because he's your future brother......"

……

……

South, Lingtai Mountain.

It was obviously a cold winter, and a pool of lotus flowers was placed on the unfrozen water.

Behind the lotus pond, there is a clumsy Zen room.

On the bed in the meditation room, a man was lying on it with his eyes closed, his face handsome and flawless.

At one moment, his slender eyelashes suddenly trembled slightly, and gradually, those eyes opened and bloomed with a clear light.

"I'm not dead yet?"

The man muttered softly, only to feel a pain in his head, and couldn't help but gasp.

He clearly remembered that he had fallen for the cunning young man's scheme, and under the attack of the embroidery workshop, the meridians of his whole body were broken, and he died of exhaustion.

Why is it alive again now?

Looking at the dark roof, he naturally had a second question.

"Who saved me?"

He struggled to sit up, and the next moment he saw an old monk looking at him with a smile on the futon in front of the bed.

The old monk was kind and kind, his eyes were full of joy, and he grinned heartily, but he didn't make a sound.

Monks?

The man's doubts welled up one after another, and he asked in surprise, "Where am I?" ”

The old monk didn't say anything, and his smile was as pure as a snow lotus.

The man stood up suddenly, and as he walked out the door, a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.

With a squeak, he pushed open the wooden door, and the bright light from the outside shone in, sprinkling on his handsome face, inexplicably revealing some bright spring.

It's good to be alive.

……

……

I heard the departure of winter.

You woke up in a certain month and year. [Note]
