For the return of the three princes and the Marquis of Jishi, the court of the Great Chu State did not show due enthusiasm and joy.

Whether it is in the palace or in the palace, whether it is the royal family or important ministers, at least the people they come into contact with who are enough to decide the fate of the Great Chu State, their attitudes towards Xiong Jiong and Wu Xie are polite and respectful, but there are some estrangements.

Xiong Jiong was puzzled by this, but Wu Xie knew what he was doing.

Wu Xie has always been a savior-like role for the Great Chu State. No matter what kind of crisis the country encounters, whether it's a natural disaster or [fuck], whether the threat comes from humans or youkai, he can calm it down and protect the peace of the country.

For this reason, Wu Jie's prestige among the government and the opposition is so high that it is simply disturbing. Naturally, it is not a problem to sing praises and praises, and even the ancestral halls that should have been strictly forbidden have sprung up in various parts of the Great Chu State with the acquiescence of many local officials turning a blind eye. Wu Xie was not happy about this. This is probably the treatment that the predecessors once enjoyed, were blindly trusted, held high on the altar, and became the object of worship...... In the end, he became a victim of the continuation of the country.

He had no intention of insulting the old man's three hundred years of silent dedication, but he did not approve of such an approach.

He is Wu Jie, not an old man; He is willing to help the Great Chu State as much as he can, but he will not sacrifice himself for this.

What's more, he has done a lot for the Great Chu Kingdom, so much that he is about to touch the iron law of immortal mortals, which is enough, very enough!

So he didn't feel guilty or sorry for not being able to help this time, even if he had seen the scene of the destruction of the Great Chu State in the future with his wisdom and experience, he wouldn't be upset about it.

Whether it is a person or a country, there will be a day of destruction, and the Great Chu State has continued to this day, and it has gone through the crisis several times, and it is already a very good thing that there can be a good ending after the worst. To be a man, we must know how to be sufficient. But the people of the Great Chu Kingdom obviously didn't think so, since they regarded Wu Xie as a guardian saint, they naturally hoped that he could protect himself at all times, whether he was free or not, and whether it would cause him trouble or not.

And this time, Wu Xie was not able to protect the Great Chu State when they needed it, and it didn't appear until afterwards.

For them, it may be that Wu Xie has betrayed his trust and failed his prayers - this is like the kind of religious person who shouts at his gods and Buddhas at a critical moment, "Why don't you bless me!" I guess something like that.

An ancestor of Qingyangguan once said in his notes: "Mortals have a very bad habit, when they perceive the kindness from the strong, they will often worship it, and then turn this worship into a protective contract with the strong, turning things that should not be the responsibility of the other party into the responsibility that the other party should bear...... But what does their worship mean to us? Is it that can make us progress in our cultivation? Or can it make us happy?"

The senior had probably experienced a lot of unpleasant things for him, and his tone was a little resentful: "Obviously they haven't done anything of value for me, why do they take it for granted that I should pay for them?" Just because I'm willing to save them doesn't mean I owe them anything! Why do I have to be able to help in any situation? Even if it's me, there are also teachers and fellow friends who don't have time to help, so that every day should not be called when the earth is not working!"

"I'm so annoyed with these guys! I want to smash them all to death with a hammer! But when I saw that they were in trouble, I couldn't help but help them—I must be a little slut......"

At the back of the note, another handwriting that was somewhat similar to the previous note, but more vigorous and powerful, commented: "Today, I have come to the end of the world, and I am about to prepare to meet the catastrophe. Whether or not it can be successful, the cultivation of successive generations has finally reached a moment to blossom and bear fruit. Before leaving, looking back at my life, it was really emotional. ”

"Disciples who will see this note in the future, as your elders, I would like to advise you to have some words, I hope you will remember them well!"

"We immortal cultivators, in the final analysis, are walking on our own path. Whether you are good or bad, happy or sad, what you want to do or what you don't want to do, you should ask your heart, not look at the attitude of others. ”

"The ancient monks have a cloud: People praise me, but they ask for me; Whoever hates me asks for me, but does not get it; Anyone fears me, but fears to be lost to me; Anyone hates me, but he has lost it to me. However, what do I have to do with his reputation, his evil, his fear, and his hatred? I'm asking for the truth!"

"The selfish attitude of the ancient monks is certainly not advisable, but we who cultivate immortals must distinguish between 'immortals' and 'mortals'. We are immortals, not gods; We don't depend on human beliefs, and we don't need to do anything about those beliefs. ”

"On the contrary, if you tie yourself to your faith and regard what people want you to do as what you want to do, then your immortal path will have no future, it is better to turn to the path of incense belief and become a human god!"

Wu Xie had read this note many times at the beginning, and saw two completely different faces, one was young and full of strength, and he looked at the world with concern, full of anger and helplessness; The other countenance, already old, full of wisdom and maturity, looked calmly at the world, and the clouds were faint and windy.

This notebook is one of the reference books recommended by this door to every Liangang Feixian, there are many similar notes, all of which are the experience and understanding of the predecessors, and every word contains sincere emotions, recording the life experience without falsehood, which is enough to provide them with the most valuable nutrition.

Therefore, Wu Xie immediately saw through the reason why the royal family and important ministers of the Great Chu State were estranged from him, and he did not feel angry or dissatisfied, but felt relieved.

He never wanted to be a patron saint, it was just wishful thinking on the part of the people of the Great Chu Kingdom. Now that they are disillusioned, it is just right for them to re-examine Wu Jieying's position, and there will be a lot less trouble in the future.

You must know that when the Great Chu State fell, Wu Xie definitely hadn't risen or sat down, but he definitely couldn't stop it.

If he is really held hostage by the faith of thousands of people, it is really not a good thing for him!

Compared with Wu Jie's indifference, Xiong Jiong was very sad and depressed. He can't understand that everyone treats himself with that kind of polite but secretly estranged attitude, could it be that if he cultivates immortals, he is not the prince of the Great Chu Kingdom?

What he couldn't understand even more was everyone's attitude towards Wu Jie.

"Senior brother, what's wrong with them?" One day, he finally couldn't help but come to Wu Xie to ask, "I really don't understand!" You have saved them so many times, why do they have such an attitude towards you? Do you owe them anything?"

"Maybe in their eyes, I do owe them." Wu Xie smiled, "Have you ever noticed that there are many ancestral shrines of mine in this Great Chu Country?" Many people have my tablet at home, and they burn incense every day to worship?"

Xiong Jiong was stunned for a moment, recalled carefully, and nodded.

"When they pray to me, they want me to bless them in their time of need. I've done it before, but I didn't do it this time, and of course they feel like I owe them. ”

Xiong Jiong was stunned for a while, his eyes widened, and he showed a look of disbelief: "This ...... This is ridiculous!"

"It's not ridiculous at all, if you behave well this time, you will probably take my place and become the object of their worship and worship_ then maybe you will be able to enjoy this treatment in the future." Wu Xie smiled, completely unimpressed.

Xiong Jiong was so angry that he almost jumped up: "How can they do this! We are cultivators, and we spend most of our time cultivating in the mountains. What's so strange about the haste that doesn't help? No! Even if we were there at the time, it would be impossible for us to fight against the army of the Great Han Kingdom! They didn't do anything harmful......"

Wu Xie smiled and patted him on the shoulder, signaling him to calm down. After he calmed down a little, he nodded and praised: "Very good!" What you think, I'm very satisfied!"

"Huh?"

"Senior Brother Xiong, I've always been worried that you may be from the Great Chu Imperial Family, and you may care about the Great Chu Kingdom to a degree beyond what a person in the Immortal Dao should have - you must know that your identity is very special and sensitive, and many times, whether your behavior will violate the iron law of separation between immortals and mortals is really a bit vague. If you are too concerned about the Great Chu State and have too much sense of responsibility, it will be a huge disaster for yourself!"

Xiong Jiong was silent for a moment and sighed deeply.

"What kind of prince am I! If it weren't for the identity of a reserve monk, I am afraid that I would have died in the palace struggle a long time ago...... Senior brother, you may not know the Dao, I was not born to an unofficial concubine, but my father traveled among the people and left behind in a lifetime. My origin and identity can be called a stain on many proud royal families......" he said, shaking his head and sighing constantly, "If it weren't for this reason, how could my father let me cultivate immortals at the risk of the possibility of the royal family being cut off?" You must know that he has a total of three sons, although the two imperial brothers are still healthy, but who can guarantee that they will not have some accidents in the future?"

Wu Xie nodded slightly, he had always had some doubts about this - Xiong Jiong, as the prince, should be used as a guarantee for the succession to the throne. However, the current Son of Heaven of the Great Chu State had already decided to send him to cultivate immortals when the third son was still young and he was not even sure whether his two brothers would be able to survive to succeed to the throne...... If you want to say that there is no greasy in this, who believes it!

It's just that he has never been interested in this kind of palace privacy, and he has never thought of finding out. It wasn't until now that he really understood Xiong Jiong's life experience.

I see!
