After a long time, the drunkard stopped laughing and continued: "I didn't tell him that I originally wanted to step down from the position of the head of the sect and devote himself to seeking the divine kingdom of Haotian, he is my disciple, and after I retreat, he will naturally be the head of the Dao sect." It's just that he doesn't have the patience to wait a little longer. ”

This is desire, the sorrow of human nature, when eternal life is not visible, the desire to pursue the pinnacle of power.

Su Yan silently asked himself in his heart, what is he pursuing? Is it the power of dominating the world or standing at the pinnacle of the world?

Su Yan shook his head, these are not what he is pursuing, he only hopes to cure Yun Yiyi now, and then the two of them happily go together to find news about his mother, he always feels that he is a child with a mother, and his mother must still be alive somewhere watching him.

What about the rest? Of course, everyone around him is safe and happy, and of course, he also wants to see a world free of war and suffering.

A beautiful world, for the world, he has never lacked love.

He can not care about himself for the sake of the world, provided that the people around him have a good life. This is the biggest difference between him and Ye Xiaoyu.

Ye Xiaoyu is nominally his teacher, but in fact, the most people who have accompanied him to grow up are Caidie and Chu Xiangxiang, who don't like to talk much, Caidie cares about Ye Xiaoyu the most, followed by others.

(As mentioned earlier, education is very important, or the influence of companionship is very important, adults, if you have time, you should spend more time with your children.......) ）

The drunkard's voice once again pulled back Su Yan's thoughts: "A lot of people died that year, ordinary sect members, deacons, priests, and cathar cavalry, and the three of us finally understood the meaning of the oracle that the sky was white and the earth was red, because the earth was stained red with blood, the sky turned blue, and the sun became pale. In the second year, a crack suddenly opened in the sky, and a light shone down through the gap, you don't know but the whole world was so excited, because the kingdom of God of Haotian was finally coming, and eternal life was just around the corner......"

......

Time passed slowly in the drunkard's narration, and strangely enough, the sun still did not see the dawn of the sun in the sky over the town, and Su Yan's thoughts returned to the distant ancient times with the drunkard.

“...... Later, some strange creatures from nowhere joined us humans to help us fight together, there were beautiful big birds with flames, there were big snakes with golden scales that were noble and mysterious like mountains, and some giants as tall as mountains, and our enemies also summoned some strange creatures, some people shrouded in black fog like wolves, and some strange big birds, the whole world was in chaos, what kind of chaotic times it was.

Those people seemed to be afraid of something, desperate to conquer us humans, and we didn't know it at the time, until the eternal night came much later. ”

"For they were afraid of the eternal night,

There was a hint of fear and schadenfreude in the drunkard's words.

"When the eternal night came, the three of us and the rest of the people came to the town, this kingdom of God that I wanted to create at the beginning, this is another world, and the eternal night can't feel here, so no matter what, we can't have a glimmer of light,"

There is no daylight in the town.

It turned out that they had been living in darkness for countless years.

"Then you ...... last night" Su Yan wanted to ask about all the lights that were lit in the town last night.

"It's because of you, you brought the starlight, you brought the outside world, the town is no longer isolated from the world, they light the lamp, they want to suppress the starlight you brought, thinking that in this way, the town can still maintain its original appearance. The drunkard explained.

"How did you know I was coming here?" Su Yan still didn't understand.

"Because I can see the outside world and who are the people who bring havoc to the world, don't ask me about that, I don't know. ”

Su Yan asked the last question: "Since you have already experienced it, why don't you go back to the Dao Gate and tell the people the truth." ”

"The truth is there, it's not someone else to tell or not," the drunkard laughed a little mysteriously, "Now after all, it's not before, I'm no longer the head of the Daomen, at that time, there was no academy in the world, no master, no you, no Taolin and your teacher, this is a different era, I believe you, I believe that this time must be a different result, you don't have to ask, some things will be known when the time comes, and some things I don't know." ”

Su Yan understood, but he still didn't understand anything.

How did I get involved in such a big thing?

What exactly are those things?

What do those things have to do with you?

How did the green cow know about this town and the drunkard?

Because drunkards were not called drunkards before, when he was still in charge of the Taoist sect, people called him Master Musheng.

Mu Sheng looked at the back of Su Yan who walked to the door, and shook his head, he would never believe that Su Yan would be a disciple of the light, but he didn't know why, when Su Yan said that they were pitiful, the drunkard would be so happy.

......

When Su Yan walked out the door, the town was still dark, but he knew that it was already noon.

When Su Yan walked out of the town, it was indeed noon outside, the bright sun hung in the sky, and the smoke of the cooking stoves in the fields next to the post road came out.

Su Yan appeared on the post road with the carriage, and Yun Yiyi in the carriage fell asleep quietly.

He didn't let the drunkard come with him, because he knew that the drunkard wouldn't live long after he left the town.

He saw dead old men on the post road, all of whom had left the town the night before.

Out of sympathy and pity, he buried several old people, but he didn't know what to write when the tombstone was erected, and he couldn't tell what it was like to feel about the drunkard and the people of his town, and what attitude to face it.

Just feel pathetic.

In the end, no monument was erected.

When he left the town, the drunkard gave him a sentence, "Don't forget your original intention." ”

The original intention is the original heart.

......

Su Yan went to the west, and the drunkard told him that he was in a place called Tiankeng in the west.

Traveling westward, there was no one to lead the horse, no one to carry the burden, and no monkey to open the way, he was just one man and one cart.

He didn't go to learn the scriptures, he was looking for someone, looking for someone named Tianxing.

After walking a hundred miles, there was a village in front of him, and an old man stood in front of the village waiting for him, and the old man was very old, like twilight.

The old man was weak, like rotten wood and rotten paper.

Seeing Su Yan, the old man pulled out his knife and slashed at Su Yan.

The knife was left in the sheath for too long, and as a layer of rust fell on the ground where the knife was drawn, the sheath also turned into dust, and when the light of the knife became brighter, the blade was already thinner than paper, and was blown into dust by the wind.

No matter how good a knife is, it can't withstand the corrosion of time.

The old man was unwilling, and raised his palm to slash at Su Yan, Su Yan did not dodge, and the old man went down halfway through the palm and turned into a pile of ashes.

Su Yan passed through the village and came to a small stream, there was also an old man by the stream, the old man drew his sword, the sword turned into dust, the old man was unwilling, raised his palm, and the old man also turned into dust.

It's the same as the old man who drew his knife earlier.

If they don't come to kill Su Yan, they may be able to live for a few more years.

No one could have imagined that what was once powerful would become so vulnerable.

This is the price they paid for leaving the town, or the price of killing Su Yan.

Su Yan is not easy to kill, Yun Yiyi said this sentence a long time ago, whoever stabs him with a sword, I will kill ten of him, no,...... It's 100,000 people.

Su Yan continued to move forward, the front was already desolate, the post road had long since come to an end, the ancient road on the ground had not been walked for many years, it was full of weeds, if it wasn't for the mud and stones that were leveled on both sides, no one would have been able to see that this was once a road.

Along the way, Su Yan met sixteen old men who wanted to kill him, and the old men he met became stronger and stronger, and there were already people behind him who could stab a complete sword or a knife, Su Yan didn't fight back, watching them turn into a pile of dust in the end.

The last old man was stronger, and a sword stabbed out with a faint sound of wind and thunder, Su Yan drew his sword to block it, and looked at the pleading gaze of the old man in front of him, and his heart softened again.

Su Yan let him stab a sword, because this sword was the old man's dying wish.

The tip of the sword pierced into his body and was quickly burned into nothingness by Starlight, and then the old man was content to turn into a pile of dust.

......

The ancient road is far away, there are no mountains and rivers, there are no people, and when you look up, the world is vast.

Footsteps on it, the wheels run over the withered yellow, green grass and make a brushing sound.

Weathered sand, cracked, brown, gray, large, small, and finely broken stones were messily placed on the ground.

A vulture flies high in the sky.

A grass hut made of weeds and dead tree trunks appeared on the side of the road, and at first glance it was built, and the grass mixed with it still had a faint greenery.

It is not surprising that there is a straw hut on the side of the road, because the straw hut can be used for people to rest, take shade, and shelter from the rain, but it looks strange in this desolate place.

Su Yan stopped.

A person stood in the grass hut, and the man said to Su Yan: "I'm used to the dark, and I'm a little unaccustomed to the sun."

That person was not Xiao Baishan, Xiao Baishan couldn't have known that Su Yan would come here.

Su Yan said to the man, "I know you're waiting in front, because the person who came out of the town last night is still missing you." ”

That man was the butcher.

It didn't take long for the butcher to look very old, not the middle-aged people he saw in the town.

"Thank you for the tailor," said the butcher after a deep bow, and his whole person changed a lot, and even his words became polite.

The tailor was the last old man to send the sword into Su Yan's body.

"If it weren't for Childe, he would have been a pity. The butcher said, still unable to tell if Su Yan was merciful.

Leaving the town last night, he traveled all over the world to find out all the deeds about Su Yan, and came to the conclusion that Su Yan was not a cold-blooded person, but he still couldn't see through it.

He wasn't an alcoholic, so he couldn't see the world in the town, he used to be one of the most powerful people in the Daomen, and he didn't go out of the town and die like some old people.

"Maybe the drunkard and the drama are right, but I'm wrong," he continued, "but I'm already out and don't want to make another choice." ”

"Childe is not guilty, and there is nothing wrong, it is us who is wrong, but I still hope that Childe understands. He wanted Su Yan to understand that he didn't have much grudge against Su Yan and had to kill him, he only killed Su Yan because of a small possibility.

"I had to. The butcher finally said.

He stopped talking, and his hand fell on the pig-killing knife pinned to his waist.

He wasn't trying to insult anyone, because he had been using this knife all along.

Su Yan didn't speak, he couldn't hate the butcher anymore, and even had some respect.
