Su Li said expressionlessly: "The best and last chance of the Nanren is lost, what will they thank me? Zhou Ren, except that they think I am a crazy person, will not thank me." ”

Chen Changsheng thought for a while and said, "...... If you don't like it, you don't thank it, it doesn't mean that you want to die of your predecessors. ”

Su Li said: "In the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed, and Tianhai, Old Man Yin and the mother-in-law on the Holy Maiden Peak are still bent on converging the north and south, but I still don't agree. If I don't agree, I can't agree with the mountain, and the Immortal Sect can't agree, and the north and south converge...... Forever it will only be a big pie drawn on paper, don't you think these saints want me to die?"

Listening to Su Li's words, Chen Changsheng was silent for a long time, and said with the big formation that he was looking at on the snow field when he just left Zhou Yuan...... I also want my seniors to die. ”

Remember, the enemy of an enemy is not necessarily a friend, because there is something in the middle called interest. If I die, the continent will be in turmoil, and the Demon Lord and Tianhai are the two most confident people in the world, and they are confident that they can take advantage of the chaos and get what they want from it, so of course they all want me to die. ”

Chen Changsheng looked at Su Li and said very seriously and sincerely: "Senior, then why don't you support the convergence of the north and the south? ”

"Am I going to do something that's good for humanity? Okay, this sentence is too much like what the villain said, I'll take it back. ”

Su Li looked at him and said calmly: "But can you answer me a question, what is the difference between being ruled by the Tianhai and being ruled by the demons?"

Chen Changsheng wanted to say that the difference between them was too big, the war between the races would be in danger of extinction at every turn, and the war between the human races was just a matter of who bowed his head, but he knew that for people like Su Li, being ruled was an unacceptable situation in itself, and there was really not much difference between the two.

"Senior, has the world in your eyes always been so dark?"

"Not dark, but colorless, cold ice, that's interest, as I said. ”

"Could it be...... Can't we think of the world for the better?" This is the third time that Chen Changsheng has asked something similar.

"No, because such things have happened many times before, the so-called history is nothing but the evidence of the present, and the so-called present is nothing but the repetition of history. Su Li looked at him and said, "I don't want to be the second Zhou Dufu, so I won't believe it whether it's the demon clan or you Zhou people." ”

The black willow forest was quiet again, and after Chen Changsheng was silent for a long time, he suddenly asked, "Senior, are you teaching me?"

From the beginning of entering the military village, Su Li had more conversations with him, and then whether he met assassins or Great Zhou cavalry, as well as the seemingly random but actually profound choice of topics in the conversation, it all showed that he was trying to teach Chen Changsheng something - how to look at the world and how to live.

Su Li looked at him and said with a slight sneer: "Is it too late to understand until now?" It is rumored that you read through the Daozang, why can't I see any understanding in you at all?"

"But...... Why is that?"

Chen Changsheng didn't care about the senior's mockery, but he was quite puzzled. He is from Zhou, Su Li is from the south, he is a new generation of mountain monsters cultivated by the state religion, Su Li is a high-ranking kendo great freedom, there is no connection between the two, and the camp to which they belong is even secretly hostile, not to mention the bad relationship between the National Religion Academy and the Lishan Sword Sect, and the competition between him and Akiyama-kun that may occur in the past and even in the future, Su Li has no reason to teach him like a teacher.

"Because I appreciate you. Su Li looked at him expressionlessly and said, "Is this reason enough?"

Chen Changsheng shook his head honestly and said, "Senior, of course it's not enough. ”

Su Li was a little speechless, if he was replaced by another junior, he was patiently taught like this, not to mention gratitude, at least after he gave a reason, it was absolutely impossible to continue to ask questions. He looked at the young man's clear and bright eyes, and suddenly laughed, thinking to himself, if this little guy is not such a person, how can he lose his temper?

"Because I want you to live well, as long as possible. He said seriously to Chen Changsheng.

Chen Changsheng was slightly shocked, thinking to himself, could it be that his predecessors knew that his meridians were cut off and his life was short?

Su Li's next words showed that he didn't know the secret, and he said: "Because you can only become strong enough if you live long enough, I hope you can continue to be strong until the end." ”

"What's the last?"

"The next generation of Popes. ”

“…… My predecessors want me to be the next pope?"

"Yes, because you become the Pope, which is the best thing for the Southerners. ”

"Why?"

"Because you don't want to kill, let alone revel in killing, you see everything other than life and death very clearly, I have never seen a young man of your age who can care so little about fame and fortune...... Of course, your obsession with my yellow paper umbrella sometimes makes me start to doubt my own judgment. ”

"I don't know how my predecessors can tell that I don't care about fame and fortune...... That's how you can become pope?"

Chen Changsheng subconsciously glanced at the gray sky, looked at the snowflakes falling from a high place, and said, "It feels so far away." ”

Su Li looked at him with considerable interest and said, "Have you never had this kind of realization?"

Chen Changsheng retracted his gaze and asked slightly, "What kind of consciousness?"

"The Imperial Palace attaches so much importance to you, cultivating you, and making you the youngest Tongyun Upper Realm and the youngest dean of the National Religious Academy in history...... If you don't want to be the next pope, what do those old guys want to do?"

Chen Changsheng was silent. He now knew why Bishop Merissa took such good care of him, and what the Pope thought.

After leaving the Heavenly Book Tomb, all the mysteries have already been answered. But he didn't understand this matter very well, and subconsciously didn't want to remember it, there were so many things that happened in Zhou Yuan, so much so that he thought he had really forgotten about this matter, until he was woken up again by Su Li.

He was the successor of the state religion.

It's just that his eyes are still habitually falling not far in front of him, and he is not used to looking up at the sky, whether it is a gray sky or a clear blue sky, the light is so dazzling. If he returned to Kyoto, he would become the successor of the state religion, or he would have to face the majesty of the Holy Empress, which made him very uneasy, and of course, he had to return to Kyoto first.
