Yesterday I mustered all my courage, but I didn't hear the answer I wanted to hear the most.

The fifteen-year-old's life is full of endless hope, and even if he has no definite dawn, he wants to go deeper on this path.

Isn't life wonderful because of the unknown?

Although he was born a little different from others, he can't be isolated from the world because of his natural flaws, right?

Although you have to live carefully, if you don't try to live a wonderful life because of fear, isn't it in vain?

......

......

"Go down the mountain, boy. ”

"What?" Lu Beichen came to the master's room early in the morning, and when he heard such an unbelievable sentence, he wondered if he wanted to go down the mountain and thought that there was something wrong with his ears. After he went back yesterday, he thought a lot, and although he still wanted to go down the mountain, he still planned to give up.

Not because of a hypocritical worldview such as "family affection is more important in front of dreams", but because he is rational - everything that moves forward at the cost of life must be carefully considered, and should generally be abandoned.

It's just that sometimes he wants to be less rational and let something get carried away, and it's good to be brave, so he said what he said yesterday to Master Qiushan.

However, Master Qiu Shan didn't give him any answer yesterday, so he thought that there was no hope, and naturally he didn't expect that the reversal of things would come so suddenly.

"Let's go down the mountain. Qiu Shan was drinking tea and playing chess every day, quietly flipping through the scriptures, and unhurriedly repeated what Fang had just said.

After confirming that he had heard correctly, Lu Beichen took a long time before he spoke, "I can also be like other disciples?"

He didn't think that Master would offer to let him go down the mountain. After all, what Master said yesterday was Lu Beichen's biggest concern. So after Master left with a smile yesterday, he almost completely gave up on these ideas.

He is not a mother-in-law, but when his worries and dreams contradict each other, it is still difficult for him to make a decisive choice. Maybe when it comes to life, everyone will wander.

He originally thought that all the longing and expectations about going down the mountain would be buried in the tunnel with the passage of time with yesterday's conversation, and would not be said again, but he didn't expect that it would be just a day, but such a big reversal would occur.

"Maybe you're long overdue. Although you don't have access to the Great Road, you are quite accomplished in reading. As a teacher, I have also been young, and I know that at your age, there will naturally be a lot of things I want to do, and I shouldn't trap you here. People's lives are still in their own hands, and no matter how much help others give, it is in vain. ”

"Thank you, Master. Lu Beichen doesn't like to hear the four words of Wuyuan Avenue, this thank you, some are grateful, and some are denying this label.

"It's just ......," Qiu Shan continued, "I'm worried about your body. You have been cold since you were a child, if it weren't for the breath of the sun and the moon on this mountain, as well as the power of the divine stone on your body, I am afraid that the meridians would have been frozen off long ago. It's okay if the cold in your body doesn't grow, otherwise it's unimaginable. ”

"In recent years, thanks to the guidance of the master, I have been reading and writing in the academy, cultivating my self-cultivation, and the cold has been suppressed temporarily. So even if I leave here, I still have the protection of the Divine Stone, and I will continue to practice the Mind Method every day, so Master doesn't have to worry. ”

"Speaking of this, I am ashamed of my teacher. When you were eight years old, I let you go up the mountain to study alone, and the number of times I went to see you was very small. Hopefully, you don't blame me. Qiu Shan put down the case file in his hand, his expression was calm, and his tone was unhurried.

"Master is for my good and wants me to become a talent. What's more, if it weren't for the master's friendship with the master, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to go up to the mountains to study and make friends. I have followed Master since I was a child, and everything Master does will not be done for no reason. Your good intentions should be remembered by Beichen, how can you blame them?" Lu Beichen replied slowly, but there was a trace of excitement between his eyebrows.

However, after a moment of excitement, this child, whose mind was much more mature than his peers, saw something strange in Qiu Shan's tightly knit brow.

"Master, is something going on?" He grew up with Master since he was a child, and although he rarely met Master after going up to the mountain to study, he was still the most observant of words and feelings, especially to Master.

"Hmm. "The hills are still calm. He picked up the tea in his hand, took two sips gently, and then picked up something from the book and said seriously, "More than ten years ago, the war between humans and demons ended with the victory of the human race. The demons were defeated to the Northern Wilderness, and they have been indignant, and they have been ready to move in recent years. ”

"The demon clan is far away in the Northern Wilderness Sandbank, far less prosperous than the Central Plains, could it be that they who are far away in the demon capital will really threaten the location of the human race one day?" Lu Beichen thought to himself, but when he thought back to the story of the demon race told in the book, as well as the record of the battle between humans and demons ten years ago, he understood what the master meant in an instant.

"The demons have always been cruel and cunning, in recent years, the demons have joined forces with some tribes in the demon capital, and their power is growing day by day, but unfortunately most of the human race is still like frogs in warm water, and they don't know that danger is coming. Qiu Shan seemed to see through his thoughts, and explained slowly,

Lu Beichen heard it very seriously, thinking that he had lived in the mountains since he was a child and had never seen a demon with his own eyes, but at this moment, he was thinking of the picture of the demon clan brutally plundering the human race, and he couldn't help but sweat.

But after all, the story lives in the book, just like the excitement of the outside world, and it is naturally different from having seen it in the book and experiencing it in person. That's why he wanted to go down.

"Master Wei didn't want to meddle in the mundane world, he just wanted to cultivate the Great Dao on this Sun Moon Mountain, and use all the methods to find and dispel that cold. Qiu Shan continued, "In the process of going down the mountain to find medicine for you, I have fought with the demons, and I have always felt uneasy but have no intention of interfering in the wind and rain under the mountain. Just when you want to go down the mountain, presumably everything is providential. ”

"What does Master want me to do? Lu Beichen said word by word.

He finally understood what Mr. Qiu Shan meant, it turned out that the master was going to give him an important task, which inevitably made his mood reach a climax of excitement again, which was a kind of excitement to be trusted.

"I hope you can go to the Holy Capital and give this letter to the Holy One today, and it must not fall into the hands of others. ”

"Holy Capital?" Although Lu Beichen had never descended the mountain, he had heard many stories about the Holy Capital from Xiao Yan and Gu Yin.

It was a place where there were no weak people.

It is a gathering place for the Terran elite and a symbol of the majesty of the Terrans.

The holy capital is the Central Plains. More than ten years ago, the former King of Yan and the current Terran Holy Emperor defeated the Demon Race in one fell swoop with the assistance of many generals. After the Holy Emperor unified the country, he divided the Central Plains into a human city and named it the Holy Capital. Later, scholars and Taoists in the Holy Capital began to recruit sages from all over the world, and absorbed a large number of elites for centralized study and training.

In the center of the entire Middle-earth Continent, the Holy Capital has excellent mountains, rivers, fruit trees, and at the same time, it has also gathered countless cultivation geniuses. It seems to be the pearl of the whole continent, with the most prosperous and lively side. This is also why there is a saying among the people that those who win the holy capital will win the world.

"However, it may not be easy to see the Holy One today. Lu Beichen was silent for a long time, and he also thought about a lot of stories about the Holy Capital. According to common sense, if you want to see the Son of Heaven, I am afraid it is not as simple as going to see the Master.

"That's true. Throughout the ages, you must pass the national examination to enter the national list in order to have the opportunity to enter Beijing. It's just ......," Qiu Shan said in a low voice, suddenly stopping.

He wanted to say that it was impossible for Lu Beichen to enter the national list. In the holy capital where elites gather, even if Lu Beichen, who has no cultivation, can perform in paperwork, he is not even qualified to take the exam in martial arts.

Because to ensure the safety of all disciples, the martial arts test of the national examination needs to reach the realm of initial enlightenment before they can participate. Unless there's a big guy to introduce you, everything becomes a lot more flexible.

Qiu Shan didn't say these words, probably because he was worried that it would hit the child's self-esteem.

"But what?" Lu Beichen looked at Qiu Shan with a strange expression, and couldn't help asking.

"Nothing. Qiu Shan came back to his senses and continued, "If you can, you can go to Prime Minister Zheng Hang and ask him to introduce you. ”

Lu Beichen asked, "Prime Minister Zheng Hang, who is he?"

"He was the one who participated in the war with the Holy Emperor back then. The battle between man and demon made King Yan a success, but the heroes behind King Yan were deeply hidden, and Prime Minister Zheng Hang was one of them. Over the years, he has won the trust of the Holy Emperor and is also a veritable hero in the hearts of the people. If you can find him, you will get twice the result with half the effort. ”

Lu Beichen nodded and listened carefully to every word.

"Remember, except for the Holy Emperor and Zheng Hang, don't mention the matter of sending the letter in front of anyone else. The demons are eyeing each other, the demons are extremely cunning, and even the human race has ill-intentioned elements, so remember to protect yourself. Qiu Shan had already stepped down from the couch at some point and handed the letter to Lu Beichen.

"Hmm. Disciple understands," Lu Beichen replied quietly.

Qiu Shan never sighed in front of Lu Beichen, but this time he said so solemnly about the matter of the demon clan, which inevitably made Lu Beichen have more doubts.

Out of instinct, Lu Beichen asked, "Why doesn't Master go forward together?"

Qiu Shan was silent for a moment before replying, "Do you remember the reason why your teacher named you Lu Beichen?"
