Wu Xie traveled to a lot of places and met a lot of people on this trip. Some of them satisfy him, and some make him regret.

Among the disciples he prescribed, Almond and Xiao Chai had the purest minds and were the most suitable for superior exercises. However, they don't have the heart of the Dao, for them, it doesn't matter whether they can cultivate the Dao or not, as long as they are at ease, eating, sleeping and sleeping every day, it is enough.

If you think about it, it doesn't seem like a good life. If people with the ability in the world can be satisfied so easily, maybe this world will be much more peaceful.

Qiao Feng, Lin Xiao and Ao Qi all have quite deep roots, and it is not a problem to pass the entrance test. But Ao Qi can be Wu Jie's junior brother, but Qiao Feng and Lin Xiao cannot. Fortunately, the cultivation of the two disciples has already been on the right track, and this time they went to the master to confirm their identities, go through the motions, register their names, and that's it.

The situation of Lixiao is not very good, if he really becomes the patriarch of the Owl Beast clan, then according to the rules of the various factions in Kyushu, his identity is equivalent to the head of a small sect. Although the number of the beast clan may not be enough to be called a "sect", the rules are the rules. At that time, as the head of a faction, it is really inconvenient for him to be a disciple of Qingyangguan, and it is not even appropriate to register his name......

However, compared to these disciples, Wu Xie was most worried about the seven-year-old child.

Ten years later, Xiong Jiong is seventeen years old and has grown up.

Will he still be in his current manners? Will it create too much sense of belonging to the country? These are uncertain.

Monks also have families and countries, but monks should not be too attached to their families and countries. The separation of immortals and mortals is an iron law that cannot be violated. Immortal seekers don't necessarily have to leave the world, but they do have to keep a certain distance from the world, and unless they have some humane reasons to get their hands on it, they can't interfere too much in the things of the red dust.

If Xiong Jiong can look at the relationship between himself and the Great Chu State from the perspective of pure "doing good", then there is no problem. But as the prince of the Great Chu State, can he really let it go?

There are also noble-born monks, such as the first head of the White Emperor Pavilion. That predecessor was the crown prince of Ba State, a big western country at that time, and gave up the imperial throne in order to seek immortals.

Later, Pakistan was in turmoil, and the children of the royal family who inherited the throne were all dead, and the predecessor left the sacred mountain and wanted to find a place to live in seclusion and practice, but he couldn't let go of the country and his relatives, so he had to step into the red dust again and became the emperor for five years. and trained his nephew to be a qualified heir, and then he left.

Because of this experience, his colleagues at that time called him "White Emperor". He kept explaining at first, but then he thought about it, so he simply took this nickname, and even when he opened a sect later, he directly named his sect "White Emperor Pavilion".

There are also such characters in contemporary times, for example, Lin Ye, the second senior brother in the Seven Swords of the White Emperor, is the prince of a small country between Bashu and Shu...... Oh, according to his seniority, he is no longer a prince, but an uncle.

For these noble cultivators, the state is both their help and their responsibility, and it is difficult to estimate the difference between gain and loss.

Strictly speaking, Wu Xie is also a similar figure. As the prince of the Great Chu State, he is the highest status nobleman in this country, and there are inextricable links with the country. If he can't let go, the Great Chu State is a heavy responsibility, enough to crush any monk with great powers.

But Wu Jiefang can do it, he has never been the kind of person who has to carry everything, he can do it, he will help; If he can't do it, he has to say "sorry".

Seeking immortality is a long thing, often a retreat, that is, a few years; From one realm to the next, it is decades. Compared with these long years, both mortals and countries have only passed by the clouds.

It's like sitting by the river and reaching out to touch the water in the river. With a gurgling sound, the water flew away......

After explaining all kinds of things, Wu Xie was ready to set off to the southwest volcano, to the depths of the earth to mine one by one, and then find some opportunities by the way.

But before he set off, he had one last thing to do.

"This trip down the mountain, I thought that I would solve some small things, so I went to the southwest volcano to mine. As a result, before I knew it, it dragged on for more than half a month, and there were so many more things to do than I expected!" Quietly came to the Wuhou Cemetery outside Anfeng County, Wu Xie sat in front of the tombs of his parents and brother, prepared incense, candles, paper money and wine, and complained to his relatives who had been separated by yin and yang forever, "I have obviously become an immortal, I should have gone beyond the earthly world and was at ease, but I found that I had to do more and more things, could it be that this is my natural hard work?"

"Father, mother, you two elders should be reincarnated, right? I don't know how you are doing in this life...... My son's ability is low, and he can't find you again in the rolling red dust, so he can only wish you happiness and health in this life!"

"Brother, I was in retreat when you died of illness, and I couldn't even see the back side, will you blame me? We are brothers, we gather less and leave more, it's a pity to think about it. But you have a lot of children and grandchildren, and you are famous, and you are much happier than me, a guy in my sixties who is still alone. ”

"One world, two brothers, come and have a drink with me."

He offered a glass of wine to his brother's tomb, poured himself another glass of wine, and couldn't help but sigh slightly as he watched the yellow paper money gradually burn out in the flames.

The fate of the dust has long ended with the death of relatives, just like this pile of paper money, once the fire burns and the wind blows, there will be no traces.

"Actually, there's nothing to sigh about, gather and disperse, life is like this." The shadow flashed, and Du Ruo appeared beside him.

Uncle Du and Brother Du have both passed away, and when they were dying, Du Ruo had visited them. At that time, she cried very sadly and sadly, but more than ten years later, all the past has faded.

Time is the most ruthless killer and the most merciful doctor. It will kill all the heroes and heroes, and it will also eliminate all the pain and sorrow.

When Wu Xie had just crossed over, whenever he thought of his relatives on the earth, he felt very sad in his heart. But now, it's already bearish.

This is the life of a monk.

However, being bearish does not mean that you have really forgotten. And as long as you are alive, there will always be new things happening, meeting new people, and new things you care about......

Even beyond the world, it is inevitable to have joys and sorrows, joys and sorrows, joys and sorrows, and all kinds of worries and grievances. Just like a duckweed that drifts with the tide, it will also follow the wind, the water, the fish, and the small insects, and there are still some concerns.

Maybe...... Just like what Xiang Wentian said in the movie "Smiling Proud Jianghu", people are rivers and lakes, and as long as they live, they will never be able to quit the rivers and lakes.

Wu Xie tilted his neck, drank the wine in the cup, and looked at Anfeng County, which had become a prosperous city, from a distance.

His gaze looked around Jishitang and Wuhou Mansion twice, smiled, and turned to leave.

There are all kinds of worries and all kinds of things to do, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Jiangzhou Sima listened to the pipa music and tears wet his shirt, he Wu Xie asked himself if he was not too forgetful, since he couldn't give up everything, then there were concerns, so what?

In "East Evil and West Poison", Hong Qi once said: "Who said that you can't take your wife to the rivers and lakes!" Wu Xie felt that he might as well borrow this sentence.

Who said that if you are concerned, you can't cultivate immortals?

Having concern, caring for relatives and friends, and for the common people in the world, while cultivating immortals, while doing good, this is the way of life of people in the righteous path.

Maybe this kind of life is not elegant and chic enough, but Wu Xie feels that compared with the birth of Xuanmen and the selfishness of the Demon Dao, this kind of lifestyle that is not elegant and chic is more in line with his appetite.

Immortals, after all, are still human!
