The sudden sound of footsteps and the sound of the Buddha's horn couldn't help but surprise Ling Xuan and Shen Lang, and they both looked in the direction where the sound came from, guessing in their hearts who was coming, and whether this person was a friend or foe.

And when the person who made the voice walked in front of the two, under the illumination of the moonlight, we finally saw the appearance of the person who came, and it turned out that this person was Master Xinyan who had sent Xue Nan and Qi Zhi away before.

Seeing Ling Xuan and Shen Lang's relieved appearances, Xinyan smiled faintly, and his tone was full of calm.

"The two donors don't have to worry about the sky, my Daxiangguo Temple has always acted frankly, and never and disdainfully used any side-of-the-road means, since it is said that it will not hurt the lives of your donors, it will never go back on its word."

"But the two donors really have to hurry up, this day is about to dawn, my Daxiangguo Temple will also open the mountain gate to welcome the believers, if the two donors have not made a final decision at dawn, then we will not be able to accompany them."

After saying this, Master Xinyan turned around and returned to Juekong and the others, he did not continue to speak, but looked at Ling Xuan and Shen Lang with burning eyes, waiting for the two to make a final decision.

Obviously, Xin Yan has now handed over the power of decision to Ling Xuan and Shen Lang.

Through Shen Lang's analysis just now, we already knew that Ling Xuan was actually planning to stun Shen Lang just now in order to ensure Shen Lang's safety, and then go to the battle by himself, using his own cultivation in exchange for everyone's safety.

And in the same way, in Shen Lang's other remarks just now, his own intentions have been extremely obvious.

There was actually no difference between what Shen Lang and Ling Xuan thought, he also planned to exchange his cultivation for the safety of Ling Xuan, Xue Nan and the others.

The difference is that Shen Lang seriously listed the differences between himself and Ling Xuan, and among the differences he listed, we can see that Ling Xuan's importance in these things is indeed far greater than Shen Lang's.

And we already know that the worst result that a person who breaks into the battle will face is that his cultivation is completely lost, and Shen Lang is a person who has no cultivation at all, so even if he loses his cultivation, he is just going back to the past, and he can no longer participate in these things and continue to live the life of ordinary people in the past.

In fact, if you think about it intellectually, Shen Lang's proposal is indeed the best result, even if he loses his cultivation after breaking through the formation, he can also return to his previous life trajectory.

Moreover, whether it is after we come back that everyone continues to explore, or if we have an accident and the people left behind are looking for an opportunity to avenge everyone, an intact Ling Xuan is far more effective than an intact Shen Lang.

However, nothing in the world can escape the three words of reason, reason, and law, and among these three words, the word love transcends the existence of reason and law.

Although intellectually speaking, this is the best toilet at the moment, but if we think about it emotionally, we can't accept him to make such a sacrifice anyway.

It doesn't matter how Shen Lang cultivates, and whether Shen Lang is stupid or wise, just because he is our companion, we must not sit idly by and watch him make such a sacrifice for us.

In other words, we are not just unable to let Shen Lang make such a sacrifice, but we cannot let any companion make such a sacrifice, we are a collective, not only companions, but also relatives without blood.

But the good news is that all of this is just a hypocritical assumption, and we haven't reached the point where we have to make this painful choice.

Unlike Shen Lang and Ling Xuan, who are struggling now, Chun Tingyi and the three of us already knew that this was just a test, so I didn't worry too much at the moment, and I was more curious about what kind of choice these two would make in the end.

At this moment, Ling Xuan, who had been silent for a long time, finally raised his head, his eyes were full of clarity, from his current eyes, we did not see the previous hesitation and entanglement, it seemed that he had made the final choice.

"Shen Lang, thank you."

However, Ling Xuan did not directly say his decision, but looked at Shen Lang with a gentle expression, and his mouth was full of thanks.

"I have to admit that I taught you Li Cunxiao's exercises before, but in fact, it was just a whim, I didn't have much hope for you at the beginning, I just felt that at some point there may be a character who needs to die for us, and you are the best candidate for this role."

Although Ling Xuan's words at this moment were a little hurtful, Shen Lang's expression was not angry at all, but instead laughed, pretending to be aggrieved and responding to Ling Xuan.

"Master, it really makes me sad that you say that, but now that you can tell me the truth, I think your thoughts now should be different from before."

"Of course, that was just my initial idea, and all I thought was to teach you a kung fu and then make you a sacrifice for our success at a critical moment."

Ling Xuan nodded calmly, but his mouth was also full of smiles.

"But when we escaped from Zhu Yuanzhang's underground imperial mausoleum, you would rather bear the possibility of being crushed than choose to retreat, but did not hesitate to stand up with Yi He, and bear it together with your own flesh and blood, and finally let us successfully escape, and I have changed my opinion at that time."

"In the days that followed, although I didn't say much about it, I have been secretly watching everything about you, and under my observation, I have a deeper understanding of you."

"After others learned so many eternal secrets, they all wanted to get due benefits from these secrets, but you are different, you just simply followed Han Chuan's side, you took everything we said to heart, and you never took the initiative to ask about the things we didn't mention."

"Han Chuan said before, you have always admired the heroes who came and went like the wind in ancient times, I thought it was just your childhood dream, and it was inevitable to cater to the world when you grew up, but then I found out that you really did it, although you seem to be stupid on weekdays, but in fact you have your own bottom line, and you have never done anything unruly."

"You obviously yearn for the legendary knight, but you know that if you choose to break through this time, you will lose your cultivation, and you will not be able to stand up from now on, but still do not pretend to be deaf and dumb, but choose to stand up, which is enough to prove that morality is far more important than dreams in your heart."

"And since you respect me as Master, how can I turn a blind eye when you have already decided to make such a big sacrifice?"
