The sky outside the crack in the stone was already gray-black, and Li Tiantu said to Ding Fang, who was sitting on the stone, "Senior, I'll go find some dry firewood and food." ”

Ding Fang nodded, crossed his legs and closed his eyes, as if he was healing his internal injuries.

Li Tiantu knew for a while, the arrogant side of the heart did not allow others to heal him, so he couldn't help shaking his head and smiling bitterly, and turned to leave.

When Li Tiantu came back with a bundle of dry firewood and a hare, Ding still kept his eyes closed.

Li Tiantu didn't bother at the moment, he put dry firewood on a shelf in the corner, started a fire with flint, and skinned the hares and put them on wooden sticks, and put them on the fire to dry roast.

The hare was roasted until it was half-cooked, and Ding Fang opened his eyes and praised: "Your survival skills in the wild are good." ”

Li Tiantu smiled indifferently and said casually: "I'm used to the days of sleeping in the open and wandering the rivers and lakes." After that, he hesitated a little, but still asked what he thought in his heart: "What are the plans of the seniors for tomorrow?" ”

Ding Fangfang said with a blank voice: "You don't have to worry about me tomorrow, and there will be no general Ding Fang in the rivers and lakes from now on." One day, if you go back to Beijing and see Tianxuandu, tell him that Ding Fang has died in Tibet. ”

Li Tiantu couldn't understand Ding Fang's mood after losing his cultivation, and he could only nod his head at Ding Fang's small request, which was not too much.

A smell of meat came to his nose, Li Tiantu took out the salt from his arms and sprinkled it evenly on the roast rabbit meat, put it on the fire and flipped it a few times, then tore it from the middle, and handed it half to the general.

Ding Fang took the roasted rabbit meat, and after a while, he finally took a bite. I couldn't help but smile bitterly in my heart, as if I hadn't survived in the wild like this since I entered Beijing. Didn't I already plan to return to such a day in the future, why am I a little uncomfortable now?

"The people in the rivers and lakes all think that our side wants to dominate the rivers and lakes, and then win the court. In fact, they are only half right, it is true that Ding has the heart to dominate the rivers and lakes, but the crown of the court is really not in the eyes of my Ding. ”

After Ding Fang had a full meal, he muttered to himself.

"I believe it. If the predecessors disregarded the national righteousness, they should still be in Beijing at this moment. Li Tiantu hit the nail on the head and said the crux of the problem.

Ding Fang glanced at Li Tiantu and said lightly: "You are somewhat similar to me." Over the years, there seems to be a dark hand in the rivers and lakes, slowly pushing the Drizzle Building to the opposite side of the royal family, it turns out to be the Heavenly Demon Sect. ”

"Senior, I think the Heavenly Demon Sect Leader knows your personality quite well. Knowing that you have been misunderstood by the Jianghu people, you will not defend yourself, but will only secretly resist you. Li Tiantu said from an outsider's perspective.

Ding Fang pondered: "Yes, I suspect that the Heavenly Demon Sect Master is a person from the court. However, any ghostly and intrigue will be revealed in their original form under absolute strength. Today, my Ding side has fallen into this situation, obviously because of the Heavenly Demon Sect's serial scheme, but why can't it be understood that I am willing to do so? ”

Li Tiantu hummed softly, his eyebrows full of doubts.

Ding Yifang said calmly: "It only took me three years to go from being unknown to the top ten masters of the Jianghu Land List, and it took me another five years to reach the position of the first master of the Land List. But for 20 years, I have stayed at this peak without breaking through, and I have never been able to cross the heavenly list. This time it can be regarded as a broken and then standing, whether or not you can step on a higher level can only be left to the heavens to decide. ”

"I don't know if this floating relics can be useful to the predecessors?" Li Tiantu said and took out the floating relics that exuded a faint milky white halo.

Ding Fang glanced at the Futu Relic, shook his head and said, "This Futu Relic can indeed help me go further, but the martial arts realm achieved by external force is not the supreme way after all. ”

Li Tiantu instantly understood why Ding Fang was called the first person in the rivers and lakes, and King Agali Ming tried in vain to use the Futu relics to go further, in order to affect the fortunes of the Tubo country, and it was not a natural avenue in the end, which is also where the Tubo national division has always been inferior to the general Ding Fang.

"In my life, I have studied martial arts, and I have quite a lot of experience. Parting is imminent, just say something to you, I hope it will help you. ”

Ding Fang suddenly got up and walked to the exit, looked at the starry sky under the dark night and said slowly: "This side of the world seems simple, but it is actually all-encompassing. ”

"Throughout the ages, many emperors have taken it as their responsibility to secure the world, but no one has really done it. The so-called easy to settle down, settle down is to settle down is to settle the people, and the people are safe and secure. The three emperors and five emperors, virtuous monarchs, have also done it. However, it is difficult to be an Tian, and it cannot be done without the peak of martial arts. Therefore, people who pursue the way of heaven such as Xuanjizi and Xue Qianxun can assist the new dynasty for the sake of the people, but once they are completed, they will retire, and their money and power will be like a cloud of smoke. It's a pity that the people who are kings are jealous, and they eventually bury hidden dangers for themselves. You and I are both people who pursue the way of heaven, I have already walked in this world, and there are still many roads you have to walk, lonely and prosperous, prosperous and lonely, you have to draw a circle for your life. Although the ending is all back to the original point, the best part is still the rich and colorful process. ”

At this time, Ding Fang's momentum has faded, and the person seems to be a lot older, but he is in the prime of life, but he is like an old man in the middle of his life, after drinking a sip of the mountain spring water handed over by Li Tiantu, he said: "The Heavenly Demon Sect infiltrated my drizzle building, regardless of whether he participated in it or not, it is difficult to escape the blame." I have asked the "Sky Fox" to send him to a closed place to recuperate, I originally wanted to dissolve the Drizzle Building, but now I have changed my mind, and the Drizzle Building will be handed over to you in the future, and you don't have to refuse. ”

Li Tiantu was silent, and he listened to what Ding Fang said just now. As for taking over the drizzle building, he is not good at the moment, so let it be.

The bright moonlight stretched the arrogant figure of Ding Fang into a slender one, showing the hero's loneliness.

The general took a deep breath and whispered: "Dominate the rivers and lakes, what I can't let go of all this time is to dominate the rivers and lakes!" In fact, even if it is actually done, what can it be? ”

Ding Fang turned around and returned to the boulder next to the bonfire, sat down again, stared at Li Tiantu and asked, "As a man, when the ideal of life conflicts with the responsibility of reality, will you choose the ideal or the responsibility?" Choosing the ideal means that you can't afford the responsibility; Choosing responsibility indicates that you have failed your ideals. ”

Li Tiantu was stunned, and he didn't know what Ding meant for a while?

He shook his head blankly.

Ding Fang looked at Li Tiantu's expression, and suddenly felt that his question was a little abrupt, and said: "Man, you should take on the responsibility you should deal with, you should go back to the Beijing Division, take my place, and stabilize the Jingshi in all directions." Although King Agali Ming was seriously injured this time, he was deeply involved in Buddhism and knew how to heal, and he could recover as soon as he was next year at the latest. Fortunately, you took away the relics of Futu this time, and did not give King Ming time to enlighten, but you also formed a grudge with the Tubo Daluo Palace because of this. You must remember that when King Agalimming recovers from his injuries, regardless of whether the Celestial Empire conquers Goryeo or not, it will be the time when the Tibetan army attacks our Western Regions, and you must return to Beijing as soon as possible, and Emperor Yuming will send additional troops from the Beiting to support Goryeo, and strive to end the battle of Goryeo at the beginning of next year, so as to avoid the danger of being exposed to the enemy on the back of the abdomen, otherwise my efforts will be in vain. ”

Li Tiantu suddenly had a glimmer of enlightenment, and now his ideals and responsibilities are indeed in conflict, he is facing a life choice, and Ding Fang is solving his doubts.

"Senior, is there still a period for Li Tiantu to meet with his predecessors in the future?" Li Tiantu only understood at this moment what is lofty, what is the burden of humiliation, and what is the righteousness of the nation.

This is exactly what he suddenly saw from Ding Fang.

"Whatever happens, what happens."

Ding Fang muttered in a low voice, and slowly curled up and fell asleep.
