Chapter 732: The Deepest Shadow
That day, when Husband Lin was ordered to enter the National Education Academy, Chen Changsheng said something similar.
Shang Xingzhou was in the palace at the time, talking to the Pope, and his reaction to this was very similar to that now.
"It's naΓ―ve. β
Chen Changsheng's eyebrows and eyes still had a bit of childishness, but anyone could see the firmness in them.
He knew he was right.
The Holy Queen of the Heavenly Sea is dead, the Pope has returned to the Sea of Stars, the Demon Lord has fallen into the abyss, Wang Zhice has lived in seclusion, and there are very few people in the world who can compete with the merchant boat.
His heart is clear, the Tao is unhindered, and his realm is unfathomable.
He ruled the Great Zhou Dynasty and had the friendship of the White Emperor City.
He seems flawless, even near-perfect.
But he still has flaws and loopholes.
That flaw was none other than Chen Changsheng, a young apprentice he had always disliked.
There is a small stream next to the old temple in Xining Town, and flowers float on the stream, flowing downstream.
There are 3,000 hidden treasures in the temple, but the three masters and apprentices cultivate only one, and they are all happy.
Shun Xin, it is an extremely powerful Dao Gate supernatural power.
Only by standing under the starry sky, looking up without shame, looking back without regrets, can we be fearless, fearless, the Tao heart is clear, and the Tao is unhindered.
In the more than ten years of the old temple in Xining Town, Shang Xingzhou did not teach the rest of the people and Chen Changsheng any Taoism, but only asked them to chant the Taoist treasure, but once they began to contact the specific cultivation method, they would improve at a jaw-dropping speed.
Correspondingly, this kind of Taoism has extremely high requirements for the mind, just like a snow lotus on the top of a high mountain, which cannot be contaminated by any dirt.
How can we not be confused by external objects, and how can we have an unshakable will and self-confidence?
A word of the heart.
All you need is the ability to convince yourself.
If you can convince yourself that this is the right thing to do, that it is in line with your heart, then ...... Naturally, it goes your way.
This sounds simple, but it's not.
If you look into the deepest part of your soul, if you are in a dark room of seclusion, how many people can truly say the word "no regrets"? Who can be sure that everything they are doing is right?
Hundreds of years ago, Shang Xingzhou was one of the orthodox heirs of the state religion, he could have followed the established route until he became His Majesty the Pope, but he chose a different path, he lived in this world in the name of the Taoist people, and when Wu Daozi painted portraits in the Lingyan Pavilion, he was responsible for sending those in the portraits back to the sea of stars. The people in those portraits are all heroes of the human race, and they are all heroes of the Great Zhou, and they died in the conspiracy like this. Some of them, such as Qin Chong and the Rain Palace God, will voluntarily die, but what about the rest of the princes?
The heroic spirit in the Lingyan Pavilion had been looking at Shang Xingzhou. Or those resentful souls who had died in the Baicao Garden earlier, had also been watching Shang Xingzhou. The innocent people who died in this turmoil must also be watching him. But these still couldn't affect Shang Xingzhou's Dao heart, because he had many reasons to convince himself.
He despises the so-called heroes who are ruthless and exterminating, and hates the plotters who dare not see the light of day like the black robe, and he regards himself as the successor of His Majesty Emperor Taizong, and he can naturally ignore the small details in his heart - for the survival of the Great Zhou Dynasty for thousands of years, for the bright future of the human race, this is the inevitable price.
But there is one thing, so far, Shang Xingzhou has not found a suitable way to convince himself, and that is Chen Changsheng.
Yes, the wooden basin floating in the stream, the baby in the basin, the dragon's whiskers hanging from the golden dragon, everything is a conspiracy.
But the Chen Changsheng he saw at first sight was not the Duke of Wei, not Wang Zhice, not Tianhai, not a general on the powerful side, not a tycoon in the world, not a long-sleeved concubine who was good at dancing, not a hateful eunuch, not an impassioned scholar who talked about the country, not a minister who was old and dignified but cherished his feathers, just a ...... Infant.
A baby who can't even open his eyes, a baby who is unconscious and ignorant, a baby who has no good, no evil, no thoughts.
He couldn't find any reason to convince himself that it was the right thing to do.
In the past fourteen years, every time he saw Chen Changsheng, he would have a question, and an extra shadow appeared on his Dao heart.
The life of the old temple in Xining Town is very simple, and it is countless times more difficult to see each other than to see each other.
Chen Changsheng has changed from a baby to a teenager like a spring breeze.
The shadow in the heart of the merchant boat road is already thick like night.
......
......
"I know that you don't feel guilty about me, teacher, it's not about good or evil, it's just that you can't convince yourself, convince yourself of the most important thing forever. β
Chen Changsheng looked at Shang Xingzhou and said, "So, my existence is a very terrible thing for you. β
Before the collapse of Buddhism, there was a so-called mental obstacle.
He is now Shang Xingzhou's mental barrier.
Shang Xingzhou wanted to do everything possible to get rid of this mental obstacle, so that he could truly maintain the clarity of the Dao heart.
He hoped that Chen Chang would live and die, and he would not be able to do it himself, because that would not have any effect, and it would make the heart barrier deeper and deeper, and there would be no chance to be erased again.
A few days ago, even if Yu Yu hadn't left him in the Snow Palace in such a decisive way, he would not have gone to the North Terracotta Hutong, but would have left the palace.
At the beginning of the Tianshuling Divine Dao, he walked from the Divine Dao, and he didn't even look at Chen Changsheng, nor did he stop Chen Changsheng from taking away the remains of the Tianhai Holy Queen, that is, he had already figured out what was going on.
He wanted to use these things as an excuse, and it was natural for Chen Changsheng to die in the hands of others.
Several times, he has come very close to success.
For example, Old Man Lin wanted to remove the obstacles and threats to the ruling power for His Majesty the young emperor, and took advantage of the remains of the Holy Empress of Tianhai to make trouble, and secretly attempted to kill Chen Changsheng, but he was unsuccessful.
For example, taking advantage of Xue Xingchuan's experience, using Zhou Tong as a guide, let Chen Changsheng take the initiative to take action, and then kill him.
"It's a pity that none of them succeeded. Chen Changsheng said.
"I didn't expect you, you've already seen it all, but it doesn't matter. β
Shang Xingzhou's expression was a little regretful, and he said, "If it weren't for Wang Po, you would have died at the hands of Tie Shu that day. β
When Gonggong Lin suddenly made a move in the National Education Academy, Chen Changsheng had already thought through everything, but at this time, he still felt a little sad when he saw the master's regret.
Shang Xingzhou looked at him and continued: "I swore to your uncle that I would not make a move on you, in fact, it is the same, whether it is Lin or Zhou, it is not an arrangement made by me deliberately, everything is a natural thing, if you insist on staying in Kyoto, there will be more and more such things, and they are not swayed by my heart." β
It is difficult to argue whether this sentence is true or false, and there is no need to argue whether it is true or false.
People's minds are always floating between truth and falsehood, and even if they look at the color and fragrance of flowers, they can't see through these.
On the courtyard wall opposite the Snow Lake, more than ten Tsing Yi Dao people appeared.
The realm of those Tsing Yi Taoists is unfathomable, and their sleeves are fluttering, and there is a hidden killing intent.

(The Genesis Update has been successfully achieved!, and now I'm worried about whether it will be synchronized to the starting point...... If that's the case, there will be duplicate chapters, and tomorrow during the day, I'll ask the site's technical staff to help deal with it, and if there are really duplicate subscriptions, I'll find a way to make up for everyone. οΌ
