Chen Changsheng said: "I never thought of putting Nanxi Zhai in danger. ”

"Your Majesty, I know you, if it had been three years ago, I believe you would never have done this, but as I said before, time can change a lot of things. ”

Huairen said with emotion: "You are no longer the same after three years, if so many people didn't die that night in Xueling, if the King of Linghai hadn't gone to Songshan Military Mansion, if you hadn't gone to Wenshui City, if you hadn't stood by my side at this time, I might have believed your words, but not now." “

"The whole continent knows what you want to do. ”

"From the Songshan Military Mansion to Wenshui City, you just want to win the aid of Daozun and the imperial court outside Kyoto under your command, and you even succeeded in changing the attitude of the Tang family, so how could you let go of the Holy Maiden Peak?"

"Have you ever wondered why everyone knows what you want to do, but Dao Zun doesn't stop you? because he doesn't need to care, because when you tried to cut off his arms, his eyes had already fallen here years ago, on the Holy Maiden Peak, which was supposed to be your strongest foreign helper. ”

Chen Changsheng listened quietly and did not speak.

"The student rebellion will not succeed in a hundred years, even if you persist until the end, the human world will be divided, and the demons will take advantage of the chaos to go south, at that time, how will you face the displaced and miserable believers, how will you face the white bones by the roadside, how will you face the state religion of the pope? Give up. I talked to him in Kyoto, and he promised me that as long as you are willing to give up the position of pope, you can practice as you like in Nanxizhai or Lishan to keep you safe. ”

Huairen looked at him with the pity of his seniors looking at his juniors, wanting to hear the answer he was expecting.

Chen Changsheng said calmly: "I can't agree to this request. ”

Huairen looked a little disappointed and said, "Why do you have to go against your teacher?"

From the moment he walked down from the Heavenly Book Mausoleum with the Tianhai Holy Queen on his back three years ago, this is a question that many people want to know.

Like the King of Linghai, Si Yuan Daoren, the Lingzhou Military Mansion, and even the Lishan Sword Sect, they all had reasons to be wary or even hostile to the imperial court and Shang Xingzhou, but he didn't.

Whether from a historical point of view, or from the standpoint of the people or officials, there is not much to blame for the business boat.

Before and after the Tianshuling Change, the methods he used were very powerful, but anyone who wants to achieve great things will do the same.

He did use Zhou Tong, but when Zhou Tong died, he issued a holy decree listing more than ten of Zhou Tong's crimes.

If there was bound to be a war between their master and apprentice, Chen Changsheng would not be able to say that he was on the side of justice no matter what.

Back then, he told the Pope's uncle that the teacher would not let him live, so he had to oppose him.

Now with the passage of time, a lot of things have changed, but he knows that this thing has not changed.

The battle of that night in Xueling, and the lake garden that turned into ruins, are the clearest evidence.

If it was only for this reason, then he was not qualified, let alone should have dragged the entire state religion, including the Songshan Military Mansion, the Congzhou Military Mansion, the Tang Family, the Lishan Sword Sect, the Holy Maiden Peak, and even the entire continent into this inevitable and tragic war, just like Huairen said, even if he is the Pope, he is the most powerful person in the continent.

Of course, Chen Changsheng didn't want to see that kind of picture.

But he knew that if he didn't want that to happen, he had to be prepared for that to happen.

Concession and compromise do not lead to true peace, it is surrender, the truth that the war between humans and demons has been going on for so many years, and now it seems that it has been forgotten by many people.

He is now the Pope, so he has to take responsibility for the state religion and the entire Terran world.

"If everybody thinks that way about me, then everybody is wrong. ”

In the distant field, the lines drawn by Tongjiang became darker and darker, and Chen Changsheng looked over there and said calmly: "I didn't do these things to get supreme power, nor did I want to kill him for my own safety, even if he wanted me to die so many times, I still didn't think about killing him." Not because he is my master, but because I know, like you said, if I want to kill him, then the whole continent will be in chaos, and the reason why I do these things is only to ensure that the state religion has the ability to resist the imperial court. ”

Huairen said: "In that case, why do you still need the state religion to fight against the imperial court. ”

Chen Changsheng said: "Uncle Shi told me back then that kind people should be more vigilant...... Caution requires the ability to do so, or it will become a joke. ”

Huairen understood what he meant and sighed.

"The Holy Maiden Peak is far away in Tiannan, but the palace is in Kyoto, very close to the imperial palace, we must take on this responsibility, just like when the Holy Queen of Tianhai was in power, if there was no uncle, no one knows how many mansions the frenzy of tyranny would tear down the roofs of many mansions and annihilate the lives of many innocent people. ”

Chen Changsheng said: "The current imperial court needs a force that can balance it, and the current master and his old man need an existence that can threaten him, otherwise the imperial court will be chaotic, and the master will become a monster. ”

"But what you're doing now is more than vigilant, it's more like preparing for a war. ”

"The Songshan Military Mansion and the Tang family are still only vigilant, or warning. ”

Chen Changsheng said: "If the imperial court and the master do something wrong, if they can't correct it themselves, I and the National Church will correct it for them." ”

Huairen said: "Your so-called correction is to kill people and seize power?"

Chen Changsheng said: "Killing people should die because people like Ning Shiwei, Zhu Ye, and Tianhai Dipping Clothes should die, and the second master of the Tang family colluded with the demon clan and should die, and the seizure of power is because the state religion needs these powers, and more importantly, the court and the master have proven that these people they have chosen are not qualified to hold these powers." ”

Huai Ren looked into his eyes and asked, "Then what if the imperial court continues to make mistakes, what if Dao Zun insists on these methods?"

Chen Changsheng was silent for a short period of time and said, "Then I have to find a way to overthrow his court." ”

Huairen sighed lightly and said, "In the end, I returned to this cruel old road. ”

Chen Changsheng said: "Different paths may lead to the same end, but the reasons for embarking on the journey are not the same. ”

Huairen said: "If it ends up the same way, does the cause matter?"

"There's a big difference between killing in self-defense and murder and robbery, and that's important and I have to believe I'm right. ”

Chen Changsheng said something that he hadn't said for three years: "Because my cultivation is smooth." ”

The sun has set behind the mountains, the stars have not yet fully revealed their true faces, and the mountains in the south have ushered in the darkest hour.

The flowers and trees on the cliffside swayed gently in the wind, and I seemed a little surprised why the field had become so quiet.

I don't know how long it took, Huai Ren said softly: "This is your cultivation path, your war, do you have to drag the Holy Maiden Peak in for many years?"

Chen Changsheng said: "I think this should be something that Yourong and the disciples of Nanxi Zhai decide. ”
