"Everybody is born a little man. ”

The Pope smiled and gestured with his hands: "But people grow up, and there are some things that you can learn if you are willing to learn." ”

Chen Changsheng read through the Daozang, whether it is kendo or other skills, he has always learned it as soon as he learns, and his talent and understanding are excellent, what is there that he can't learn?

Listening to the Pope's words, he naturally remembered the conversation he had with the Pope in the library three days later...... It's just that the books in the world are as vast as the sea, the knowledge is as numerous as the stars, carpenters, farming, plant medicine, cutting, repairing yards, there are many things to learn, why do you have to learn how to be a big person?

"What if you don't want to learn?" he looked at the Pope and said seriously: "Does this mean that I am not a good candidate for the Pope?"

The Pope smiled and said, "This inference is reasonable, but even if you don't want to learn now, you just need to be quiet for a while." ”

Chen Changsheng didn't think about it and directly refused: "I can't do it, because this can't be a period of time, and Master needs me to be truly obedient." ”

The Pope looked him quietly in the eye and asked, "You don't want to, even if it's just on the surface?"

In the eyes of today's world, master and apprentice are like father and son, it is natural for a student to obey the teacher, and the teacher does not say that you will do something, let you be silent for a while, even if you are tied up, or even commit suicide on the spot, you should accept it without hesitation, so it is the duty of a student.

Chen Changsheng didn't think so.

"Yes, I don't. ”

"Why?" the Pope asked.

Chen Changsheng didn't think about this problem, but that night in the Tianshu Mausoleum, from the first glance of seeing the master, after knowing the inside story of the whole thing, he had his own thoughts.

"Perhaps...... It's because I don't like what Master does. ”

"So, you like the way the mother behaves?"

Chen Changsheng shook his head.

"Then why did you choose this way now?" the Pope asked.

The choice mentioned here refers to the rising sun that day, and he carried the body of the Holy Queen of the Tianhai Sea and walked down the Tianshu Mausoleum.

It also refers to the fact that the National Education College was closed for several days, and he did not comply with the decree, and until today, the court has no way to deal with him.

The Pope's question is also the question of countless people in Kyoto now, Old Man Lin has asked, Su Moyu has asked, and many people have asked Chen Changsheng.

Since he came to Kyoto from the town of Xining, he has lived as the successor of the state religion and the antithesis of the Tenkai Sacred Queen.

There was no affection between him and the Holy Queen of the Heavenly Sea.

He is not Prince Zhaoming, so naturally he is not her son.

So, why?

Chen Changsheng said: "Niangniang, she was misled by the master and misunderstood my identity, so she would treat me as her son, and there would be so many things in the Tianshu Mausoleum that night." ”

If it weren't for him to change his life, the Holy Queen Niangniang might really be able to win in this great change, at least save her own life.

"Since it was a misunderstanding, her contribution is to your brother, not yours, and you don't need to bear this kindness," the Pope said. ”

"I see what you mean. But at that time, on the Tianshu Mausoleum, at least for a while, she really regarded me as her son and loved me. ”

Chen Changsheng was silent for a long time and said: "I don't know who my parents are, since she really regarded me as a son, I treat her as a mother." ”

The Pope sighed and said no more.

Since he treats Tianhai as his mother, he naturally wants to send Tianhai to the end.

No one can cross it.

Chen Changsheng continued, "As for Master...... Since he didn't treat me as an apprentice from the beginning, then I wouldn't recognize him as a master. ”

The Pope looked at him and smiled and said, "That makes sense." ”

After saying the two words he wanted to say the most, Chen Changsheng felt refreshed from the inside out, so he was ready to leave.

The Pope looked at the sky between his eyes and said, "It's going to snow, remember to bring your umbrella." ”

Whether this sentence has a deep meaning, Chen Changsheng is not very clear, but he is a little worried that this elder who takes care of himself very much will be disheartened because of his departure.

He said to the Pope: "Uncle Shi, after all, you still need a new master to leave the palace, don't you think Dean Mao is very suitable?"

The Pope looked at him and said, "If it is right, it can be done, how can I let you go." ”

Chen Changsheng said: "I'm not suitable. ”

The Pope looked at him with a smile and said, "What's wrong?"

I can't say it, even if it's Chen Changsheng's opponent, I can't tell where he is not suitable to succeed the Pope now.

He is the orthodox successor of the state religion, who reads through the Taoist Tibet, is extremely talented, has a higher seniority, and has a pure and forgiving temperament, making him the best candidate for the Pope.

In the past, there might have been talk of his age—he was too young—but now there was a younger saint in the South.

"I'm too immature, young and impulsive, and prone to delaying big things. ”

Chen Changsheng looked at the gloomy sky outside the hall, thinking about the young and impulsive thing he was going to do later, a little nervous and a little uneasy.

"That's why I chose you. ”

Pope Francis sighed: "If you are in your youth, you are mature and steady like a piece of wood, and in the future you will be at most the second self, what is the meaning of the state religion and for all living beings?"

Chen Changsheng understood, and said seriously: "Whether I will stay or not, I will work hard to practice according to your requirements, Senior Uncle." ”

Knowing that he understood what he meant, the Pope was relieved and said: "If you are leaving Kyoto, remember to take my treasure with you." ”

Chen Changsheng followed his line of sight and found that it was the pot of green leaves.

……

……

Chen Changsheng left the palace.

Once again, the news spread throughout Kyoto in a very short period of time.

The courtyard in the North Terracotta Hutong is naturally the first place to receive the news.

Zhou Tong sat in the Taishi chair, holding the red clay teapot flat in his left hand, caressing the front of the pot's belly with his right hand, looking at the ground, and asked expressionlessly, "Where did he go?"

Several officials glanced at each other, and then said with some uncertainty: "The three roads are sure that he has entered the Wei Mansion." ”

Hearing this, Zhou Tong raised his head, squinted at those subordinates, and asked in a slightly sharp voice, "Wei Mansion?"

The officials hurriedly responded: "My lord, there is absolutely no mistake. ”

Zhou informed his subordinates that they would not be mistaken.

He just didn't remember for a while, which mansion Wei Mansion was.

And he couldn't understand why Chen Changsheng hadn't come to Bei Bing Ma Si Hutong after leaving the National Education College and leaving the palace...... Kill yourself.

What exactly is Wei Mansion?

The Qing Officials Division did not react, and all the forces in Kyoto, the Prime Minister, the King of Zhongshan, Xu Shiji, and even the Imperial Palace did not react.

Chen Changsheng had already come to the depths of the Wei Mansion.

The snow in the sky finally fell, gradually covering the grass.

Just like the face of the male owner of the Wei Mansion, it is very pale.

Chen Changsheng looked at this person and said, "Lord Wei, hello. ”

The Lord Wei said in a trembling voice: "Hello Dean Chen, I don't know what you are doing when you come to the official family?"

Chen Changsheng's eyes were bright, his attitude was very upright, and his voice was very sincere.

"I'll kill you. ”

……

……

(The two sentences that Chen Changsheng said to the Pope are what I value the most, because I am worried that there will be no suitable scenes in the future, so even if there is some interruption of the rhythm, it is still placed before killing Zhou Tong.) ）
