Chapter 106: That Year, That Man and That Thing.
"The years do not live, God rewards the diligent, the graceful and tolerant, the virtuous - this is a sentence that my mother said to me when I was very young. β
"You don't have good bones, but don't be discouraged - even if you are not smart and smart, not sophisticated and capable, not well-versed in the present and the ancient, not free and easy, but as long as you stick to one thing, you may succeed, and this thing is hope, the word hope looks simple, but how many people have hope?"
"If the heart is in a dream, just like what your mother said, God rewards hard work, and the word diligence does not need the gift of others. With hope, with hard work, you will get closer and closer to success, or to your dreamsβthis is what my Master once said to me. β
"Anyone can have a dream, big or small, far or near, and the road to realize the dream is thousands of ways, or bumpy or flat, complex or simple, I dare not say here that diligence is a shortcut, but I dare to guarantee that diligence is the cornerstone of your success, just like I have said to the people in the church more than once, this sentence is, natural selection, survival of the fittest. And if you want to survive in troubled times, you must work hard and pay a hundred times the hardships of others. β
"There are many people who ask me what the essence of diligence is, and in my opinion, diligence is to inject a force into the weakest part to turn the passive into the active, which can reduce the weak to the strong. Yes, it is strength, and this power cannot be ignored, because it can endlessly dig out the dusty strength in everyone's heart, just like a drop of water and a straw rope, with this strength, you can still fearlessly pierce stones and break trees. β
"My mother died at the hands of thieves, and the last thing she said to me before she died was to be a good person and live well...... I nodded and didn't cry, because I knew I had to be strong, and a man's tears were a sign of cowardice, as my mother said, as a man's husband should shed blood without tears - because no one in this world will pity your cowardice except your relatives. β
"My master died in my hands, and before he died, he also advised me to put down the knife in my hand, and he also said that Buddhism is a flower and grass, and the demon sits on the ground and becomes an immortal. But I didn't put the knife down, so he died, and then I thought more than once that if I put the knife down...... Maybe I'd be dead a long time ago. β
"Why, you ask?"
"I have always asked myself why, why do good people not live long and harm for a thousand years, why do princes and princes value their treasures lightly, why does the emperor expand his territory for thousands of miles with a word, and why do ...... Later, I figured out how there are so many whys in this world? Just like the country, the country and the family, how can they contradict each other? Just like love and hate, how can we distinguish clearly? Just like favor and hatred, how to repay each other? And beauty and the world, which is more important?"
"Can the sun and the moon merge together?"
"Can the king and the right live and get what they want?"
"I don't know ......"
"I only know that in the troubled times, there are many heroes, although there are tens of millions of living beings, just like there are only two people in this world chess game, and only one king in the world!"
"So, after I killed Master, I swore that in this life, I would never follow someone else's horse again!
"Because of my dream - to turn my hands into clouds and my hands to rain. β
"Although I have become a demon in the eyes of the world, I have no regrets. β
β...... I only feel guilty about two people in my life, one is my mother, she let me live well, and although I live, I have become a bad person in the eyes of the world, and the other is my woman, Hua Ruomeng, she said that she wanted to see the ten miles of peach blossoms I planted for her in her lifetime, but I was bloodstained for her picturesque. β
β...... Qingluan rose with the wind one day, soaring upward, 90,000 miles...... No matter in the eyes of others, whether I am a demon or a Buddha or an immortal, it doesn't matter, I just want to see, the wind rises, the demon dances, who is the master of the world?"
β...... Either become a human being, or quickly become a dead man......"
"Death to those who stand in my way!" That's my code of conduct. β
β...... Have you ever seen a truly vast world? I see it, because it's being created by me...... One day, from the vast grasslands in the north of the Yan Kingdom to the East Cliffs and Canghai in the Tianshui Kingdom, from the Lousha Dynasty in the west to the swamps in the south, they will all surrender to my feet, and all of this will be kicked off with the knife in my hand. β
Hearing this, Su Qin's heart trembled.
He Bai Qi followed the spirit fox to the end of the deep cave, looking at the two white bones covered by spider webs, both of them were a little surprised at first, one was that they didn't know why this white fox brought themselves here, and the other was because of the long knife in the white fox's hand.
The blade of the knife used to be black, only the blade showed a cold light, although Su Qin and Bai Qi saw this knife for the first time, but they knew the origin of this knife from the two words on the handle - Linghu took this knife and wanted to hand it to Su Qin. The blade trembled slightly, and it seemed that it would shoot out of the spirit fox's hand at any time.
Su Qin saw the two words on the handle of the knife and didn't know where to go. And the spirit fox's eyes were full of anticipation, waiting for something.
"There is a knife name called Huangquan, taken from the meaning of Biluo Huangquan never seen, the righteous way to the heavenly sword as the king, and the side door to the Huangquan knife as the respect. If Su Qin is not mistaken, this is a sentence that Qiao Er said in the Heavenly Forbidden, when he said this, Qiao Er showed a greedy expression on his face, at that time, Su Qin also said in his heart that you are about to die, what are you doing with these illusory things?
And the illusory thing that Su Qin had always known appeared in front of his eyes.
The previous Wood Spirit Bead, the current Huangquan Knife, plus the vampire bats and poisonous centipedes that Bai Qi said just now, Su Qin began to doubt the world he was in, was this still the world he saw in the mountains?
And Bai Qi took the torch made of green shirts and continued to read the words on the stone wall, there were some fonts written messily on the stone wall within a radius of ten zhang, Bai Qi read two-thirds of it, and the remaining words were a little scribbled, maybe the writer reached the end of the strong crossbow, the font imprint engraved by the knife was not deep, and with the passage of hundreds of years, some words have been blurred and unrecognizable.
β...... I don't want to be a cowardly person, and I don't want to follow the laws of Yanguo like those ordinary people to grow up step by step, get married, have children, firewood, rice, oil and salt, gradually grow old, and gradually die...... One day, I will break out of the cage and leave behind everything that the world has brought me...... Accomplishing a feat with my only life, even if it is so insignificant in the long course of history, I just want to tell myself before I die...... I'm finally brave once......"
β...... After that battle, when Rumeng lay in my arms, my body gradually became cold...... I knew I would never go back...... I took my dying body to the place where Master had saved me...... Back in the Five Poison Cave, the past is behind, the flesh and blood are separated, the beloved is separated, the family is ruined, and the hegemony is overturned, although I still want to go on without hesitation...... But ......"
"Buddha...... I'm going to let you know with all the blood of all the people in the world what I really care about......"
β...... It's just me going to die...... died at the hands of his own fellow disciples...... I believe that there are brothers in this world who are equal to each other...... But...... I also believe that there are many people in this world who draw their swords against each other when the Tao is different...... I was the wild man that no one knew about that year...... I am the master of the Demon Cult that moved the capital that day...... I'm Chu Mad......"
The nick ended here, and Bai Qi's was silent here.
Su Qin, who had been quietly watching the Huangquan Knife, looked up blankly, looking at the fonts on the wall that were as big as a bucket and as small as a fist, he felt panic for the first time.
Because Su Qin felt that the Huangquan knife seemed to be calling him.
Su Qin suddenly felt a resentment in his heart.
Where the resentment comes from, the blessings and misfortunes are unknown.

The thousand-year-old temple on Tiantai Mountain, the Hanging Temple.
In the Daxiong Treasure Hall, Master Qingling sat quietly on the futon, and behind him stood the Master of the Seven Rings and the Enlightenment.
The iron door coated with gold powder was not closed, so that the cool breeze in the main hall swished, but the thousands of lanterns outside the temple dispersed the night sky of the hanging temple as if it were day, and the Buddhist characters on the lanterns were meticulously drawn.
Wudao raised his eyelids, and saw that the master of the seven precepts next to him was silently reciting the Buddhist scriptures with his eyes slightly closed, so he looked at the master of Qingling, the back of the master of Qingling did not look tall, on the contrary, it was a little craggy, and after looking at it like this for a while, although Wudao had a stomach full of doubts in his heart, he did not say much, because the master of the seven precepts did not speak, and he was not qualified to speak at all according to his seniority.
"What are you looking at?" Master Qingling asked without looking back after reciting Amitabha.
One sentence made Wudao's heart shudder, and Wudao collected his mind, and then he had an idea, lowered his eyebrows, and said a word to see the Buddha.
"The Buddha is in my heart, is it possible that there is a Buddha on my back?" Master Qingling said and stretched his legs and stood up, and the Master of the Seven Rings opened his eyes at this time and squinted at the enlightenment.
Wudao lowered his head and didn't see the eyes of the Master of the Seven Rings, he was relieved when he heard that Master Qingling didn't blame himself in his words, so he didn't say anything more.
"You said she was gone just now?" Master Qingling seemed to be in order to confirm something, and looked at the Master of the Seven Rings and asked.
The Master of the Seven Rings nodded.
"Feel free to stay, and besides, she shouldn't have stayed here in the first place. After saying this, Master Qingling walked to the door of the main hall and looked at the vast mountains under the mountain.
She wasn't supposed to stay here. Hearing this, Master of the Seven Rings thought of the dead Master Qingyun, who had ......
"It's another year of green grass, and it's still ten miles of apricot blossoms. Looking at the night outside, Master Qingling said a wordless and endlessly, which made the attentive Enlightenment a little confused, but the Master of the Seven Rings on the side frowned slightly.
"In the Land of Trials, I met a member of the Demon Cult. Master Qingling turned his head to look at the Master of the Seven Rings and said.
The Master of the Seven Rings was stunned.
"Where Chu mad died three hundred years ago is still a mystery. β
The Master of the Seven Rings had a solemn face.
The beasts, which had been silent for hundreds of years, roared again. Master Qingling said with a slight smile and turned his head, looking at the Master of the Seven Rings, "In this world, there is one thing that is above freedom, and it is worth everything we have to protect it, that is, our faith, the demon has a Buddha, and the demon destroying the Buddha is our faith." Speaking of this, Master Qingling was stunned with a sad face, "Although no one knows that the former Demon Sect Leader is a disciple of Buddhism. β
