Outside Yangcheng, in the Yangding Mountain Range, Jiang Kai was anxious-

Burnt out in the physical sense.

He was so angry that he wanted to hit the stone with his head, but he was afraid of the pain, so he activated the golden bell jar to hit it.

Bumped into a piece and melted a piece, and after a few times, Jiang Kai was anxious.

"Huh? Dog's head gold? ”

Jiang Kai looked surprised, then paused, remembered something, and angrily slammed the dog's head gold that melted out of the unknown stone to the ground: "Get out!" Don't disturb my thoughts! ”

"Grass! My life is gone, what do you want to do?! ”

Jiang Kai's behavior of forgetting death for his sake is called a hatred of iron and steel.

But after standing there for a while, he went over again and put the gold in his pocket, very honestly.

Suddenly, Jiang Kai had an idea: "As long as I don't let Wei Lao see my heroic righteousness, it's no problem, right?" ”

Then, his brows were tightly locked, his mouth was full of words, he hesitated for a long time, and finally made up his mind.

"In this case, Master, I can only be sorry for you, for the personal safety of your precious apprentice, I can only arrange for you to die first."

......

Gatekeeper Headquarters, top floor.

Cao Zheng and Wei Lao are deploying the next strategic policy, intending to design and clear the relatively weak gluttonous position first.

Wei Lao pointed to the southwest part of the map, and said in a deep voice: "The gluttonous ghosts in Tibet are the most scattered, so it is easy to break them one by one, but the territory is too vast to catch them all." ”

"It's okay, you don't need to catch them all, you only need to kill the most rampant parts, and the remaining gluttons will flee to other places, and when the time comes, you may have an unexpected harvest."

Cao Zhengyun said lightly: "In Los Angeles, we will startle the snakes, they will not make any big moves in the short term, they only need to pay attention to the corpse breeding ground, and they can effectively balance them, and there is no need for any additional arrangements." ”

Wei Lao nodded, and just wanted to say something, but noticed that Jiang Kai was back, and stopped the topic at the moment.

Cao Zheng stroked it with his left hand, and the map on the table disappeared without a trace, leaving no trace.

"Coming back? How was the harvest today? ”

Wei Lao asked sternly, in the past few days, he seemed to have established a half-master-apprentice relationship with Jiang Kai.

Seeing Jiang Kai's face full of loneliness, Wei Lao thought that he still hadn't practiced Haoran righteousness, and he couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

But who knows, Jiang Kai replied with a worried face: "Back to Wei Lao, I have already practiced Haoran righteousness. ”

Wei Lao was about to habitually spur Jiang Kai, who would have thought that Jiang Kai had already practiced, and immediately said in surprise: "Then why are you still disappointed?" ”

Hearing this, Jiang Kai drew a question mark in his heart, am I disappointed, am I not sad? Is there something wrong with my acting skills? Can't be...

Seeing that Cao Zheng was also there, and looking at him with a little curiosity, Jiang Kai pondered, and two lines of tears crossed the corners of his eyes.

"Old Wei, I'm sorry! Woooooo

Jiang Kai suddenly fell to his knees, hugged Wei Lao's legs, put his head on Wei Lao's knees and cried.

This operation not only shocked Cao Zheng, but even Wei Lao, who was used to seeing strong winds and waves, couldn't help but be a little at a loss.

"This..."Cao Zheng was speechless for a while, he had been invincible for so many years, and he had seen all the big people who covered the sky with one hand, and he was a little unaccustomed to someone showing his weak side in front of him.

"Stand up!" Wei Lao scolded, and Jiang Kai's aggrieved cry stopped abruptly, but even if he stood up, he still couldn't help sobbing.

"A man has gold under his knees, and he kneels to his parents, how can he kneel casually?"

"Woo woo woo I'm an orphan..."Jiang Kai cried even more heartily.

"Uh..."

Wei Lao glanced at Cao Zheng in embarrassment, and the latter staggered his gaze and twisted his head to the side, pretending not to see.

So Wei Lao deserved to squeeze out a kind smile and asked gently, "You say, what's wrong?" ”

Jiang Kai blew his nose, and then choked up and spoke:

"Old Wei, that's the case.

At the moment when I practiced Haoran righteousness, I was very happy and proud, and I wanted to share this good news with my close people for the first time, but in addition to being happy, I suddenly remembered my master...

When I was still here, my master was very reluctant to go down the mountain, but at that time, I was young and didn't think about his old man's feelings at all, I just wanted to go down the mountain to see the world.

But my master is a monk, he is in seclusion in the mountains, and he has no means of communication, so if I don't go back, I can't contact him at all, so I don't know... Alas...

When I went back, my master's funeral affairs had been dealt with, and the original family had already dispersed, leaving only my senior brother to leave at the latest, and he happened to run into me, and I learned the bad news.

At that time, my senior brother relayed Master's deathbed words to me, saying that I was the one who could not be relieved the most, and he also placed the most hope on me, hoping that I could replace him in promoting Buddhism and complete the career that I had never competed in my life.

So I suddenly thought, I have practiced other Taoist things, and I have made some achievements, this is not a blasphemy against his old man, I am really very confused now, Wei Lao... Can you tell me if I have betrayed my master? ”

After that, Jiang Kai looked at Wei Lao with an expectant face, as if he was waiting for the answer he wanted.

But these words also silenced Wei Laogan.

Can he say that Jiang Kai is wrong? With such filial piety and such faith in his heart, Wei Lao can't say that Jiang Kai is not at all no matter how hard-hearted he is.

But is he right? It was impossible for Wei Lao to give up the higher achievements he should have because of a dead man who could comprehend the meaning of the Four Great Dao when he was still a Jianghu Warlock, whether it was out of the selfishness of the gatekeeper or out of the expectation of Jiang Kai, he could not have made such a decision.

"This..."Wei Lao had complicated thoughts in his heart, and he didn't dare to meet Jiang Kai's sincere eyes for a while, as if a glance was disrespectful to the truth, goodness and beauty of the world, and he would be uncontrollably ashamed of himself, and for a while, he looked at Cao Zheng as if asking for help.

It was at this moment that Cao Zheng spoke.

"It is indeed commendable that you have this heart, you have proved that neither your master, nor Wei Lao, nor me, have misjudged you, but you have indeed drilled the tip of the horns."

Cao Zheng looked directly at Jiang Kai: "Your master is an ordinary person, birth, old age, sickness and death are natural laws, but you are different, you are not an ordinary person now, and you may even be extraordinary in the future, you shouldn't live for others, think about what you really want to achieve."

In addition, who said that cultivating things in other avenues is betraying your master, no matter what should not change your original heart, you have a Buddha heart, then even if you fall into the Demon Dao, you will still be a Buddha, and you will not become a Confucian because you have cultivated Haoran righteousness, nor will you become a Taoist because you have cultivated Daoqi, nor will you become a martial artist because you have cultivated martial arts.

Ask your heart more, who are you, the answer does not need to be given by others, it is in you. ”

Jiang Kai was stunned in place, and after a while, he was like an initiation, and muttered, "It's all foreign things." ”

"That's right!" Cao Zheng nodded: "It's all foreign things, and power is the will to serve people, not people who serve power and change for it." ”

"It's just..."

"Just what?"

"It's just that I still can't get over the hurdle in my heart for the time being, and maybe until the day I can really face it, I still won't use forces other than the Dharma in front of outsiders."

Jiang Kai's expression was difficult: "At least... At least I have to wait until I have attained the Dharma, so that even if I use other powers, everyone's first impression of me is that of a Buddhist disciple, and for me, the priority of the Dharma is still above all else. ”

"It doesn't matter." Wei Lao comforted at the right time: "As long as you don't doubt yourself anymore, these don't matter, you just have to take care of yourself." ”

Cao Zheng also patted Jiang Kai's shoulder expectantly: "I look forward to the day when you overcome the obstacles in your heart, I believe that when you have goals that can help you overcome these, your future achievements will be extraordinary!" ”

Jiang Kai retired, looking at his departing back, Wei Lao's expression was complicated: "What a good child, I am used to seeing examples of bullying teachers and destroying ancestors for the sake of strength, and occasionally I meet such a person, it is rare not to love talent." ”

Cao Zheng also thinks the same way: "When he becomes the gatekeeper, there will definitely be one more symbol of the gatekeeper in the entire rivers and lakes." ”

At the same time, Jiang Kai washed his face in the bathroom, propped his hands on the sink, looked at his face in the mirror seriously, and couldn't help but admire:

"You're a genius!"
