Sadness is just an emotion, it doesn't mean despair, the little black dragon lowered his head, looked at the footprints on the snow, and began to think quickly about calculations. When the Golden Dragon Imperial Clan returned from another continent and broke through the crystal wall, how much strength did it lose? Shang Xingzhou was able to defeat it easily, naturally relying on the advantage of the home field, and must have made preparations in advance, how could he accurately determine this person's true realm through this battle? If his iron chain was opened, how many chances could he have to defeat this person?

Chen Changsheng guessed what she was thinking and said, "Don't think about it anymore. ”

The little black dragon raised his head, stared into his eyes and said, "The Pope must have made some sense for me to be your guardian. ”

Neither she nor Chen Changsheng knew that His Majesty the Pope had rescued her from the bottom of the Beixin Bridge and made her Chen Changsheng's guardian, mainly focusing on the complicated relationship between the Xuanfrost Dragon Clan and the White Emperor City.

Hearing the term guardian again, Chen Changsheng was silent for a while, and suddenly said, "Do you know who my master's guardian was back then?"

The little black dragon shook his head.

Chen Changsheng looked in the direction where the person had just disappeared in the wind and snow, and said, "Uncle Shi told me that night...... Master, he didn't choose a guardian back then. ”

A strange color flashed in the little black dragon's eyes.

Chen Changsheng continued: "Master believes that the Tao of cultivation cannot rely on external objects or others, and that it is enough for him to rely on himself. ”

The little black dragon was silent.

Such people are terrible.

......

......

When the night passed and the dawn came, the wind and snow still shrouded Kyoto, and the mainland ushered in a new year.

On the first day of the new year, there were many important events, such as the official change of the era name of the Great Zhou, such as the arrival of a new master in the palace.

At the New Year's ceremony of the Imperial Palace, something happened that shocked the entire continent.

In accordance with the will left by His Majesty the Pope and the decree of the state religion that had been promulgated in advance, Chen Changsheng became the new pope.

However, he did not appear at the New Year's ceremony, and he could not be seen in the main hall of light, so naturally there was no so-called enthronement ceremony. This news sparked countless shocking discussions, whether it was the priests of the Imperial Palace, the teachers and students of the Qingteng Academy, or the ordinary people in Kyoto, they all felt very confused, and then there was a lot of uneasiness.

When they were disturbed, the palace gave an authoritative explanation.

There are the Dao blood seals of the five giants on it, as well as Chen Changsheng's autograph.

His Majesty the Pope, because he was too young and did not have enough time to cultivate, decided to enter the world to practice and realize the way of heaven in the red dust.

No one knows, and there is no answer in the edict, but it is very clear that His Majesty the Pope can return to Beijing at any time to ascend the throne.

The Pope is not leaving the palace, but hiding incognito and cultivating in the world?

This is the first time in history that this has happened.

Shock and confusion pervaded the entire Kyoto and even the entire continent, so much so that many people did not remember what the new era name of the Great Zhou Dynasty was.

When these emotions have finally been diluted a little by time, people look back at the past year, and recall the things that His Majesty the previous Pope did, and it is only then that they vaguely understand what was arranged by His Majesty the previous Pope.

If Chen Changsheng stayed in Kyoto, he would make the imperial court feel extremely uneasy, and this uneasiness would inevitably lead to war.

When he leaves Kyoto, he will let the imperial court ...... To be more precise, it will make Shang Xingzhou feel a lot more at ease.

Although until now, few people have understood why Shang Xingzhou is so vigilant, repulsive, and disgusted with Chen Changsheng's existence.

Just like Chen Changsheng had already figured out, just like Shang Xingzhou sighed in the snow at the National Education Academy last night, he was tired of seeing each other, and then he was gone.

Give the pair some time, some distance.

Give some time, some distance between the imperial court and the state religion.

Give the world and the people of Li a chance.

It doesn't have to be a war, it doesn't have to be a matter of life and death.

Chen Changsheng is still the Pope.

It's just that you can't stay in Kyoto, you can't stay in the Imperial Palace.

Even if this endgame will eventually lead to life and death, at least there can be some gaps in the fall.

Problems that cannot be solved now, wait until the future, or both sides will have more wisdom to solve.

This was the arrangement of His Majesty the former Pope, and it now seems that it is also the best solution.

Of course, there are of course more details about the arrangements of His Majesty the former Pope, so as to ensure that even if Chen Changsheng leaves Kyoto, he can guarantee his position when he leaves the palace.

This unprecedented situation, with its extremely complex causes and conditions, perfectly reflects the wisdom and patience of His Holiness the Pope.

As the successor, what Chen Changsheng needs to do now is to accept this arrangement and continue to improve his wisdom, patience, and strength.

He needs to live with wisdom and patience.

As long as he lives, he is the Pope.

Wait until the mountains are full of flowers.

Not everyone was able to understand this, and few people understood the good intentions of His Majesty the former Pope, and the determination and courage shown by the palace through this matter, and when the shock dissipated, people saw the fact that it was simple.

-- Chen Changsheng succeeded him as pope, but was expelled from Kyoto.

Whoever looks at it, this is a victory for the imperial court.

Many people thought that this was a gesture of tolerance made by Shang Xingzhou because he was unwilling to go to war between the imperial court and the state religion, nor was he willing to veto the Pope's will.

Tolerance is naturally condescending.

The Pope, who is not in the palace, no matter how you look at it, has no real name.

Even more bleak than in name only.

This is an exiled pope.

......

......

The Orthodox Era is officially over.

The rule of the Holy Empress of the Heavenly Sea over this continent has become a page in the history books and has been opened.

The Great Zhou Dynasty officially changed the Yuan to the new country, the confluence of the north and the south was declared successful, and when the spring returned to the earth, countless affairs will be implemented, and now there are many cultivators, who came to the north from Tiannan by order and joined the major military governments.

The demon queen was ambushed, the demon lord was killed, the snow old city was in civil strife, the Pope died, Vientiane was renewed, and the future of the continent was bright.

There is no doubt that the human race will usher in the best era after His Majesty Taizong.

No one knew that on an ordinary winter day, the new Pope Chen Changsheng left the Anglican Academy.

He walked out of Baihua Lane, merged into the crowd, walked along Luoshui, walked across the Naihe Bridge and the stone pillar in front of the palace, went out of the city gate, and left Kyoto.

He carried a letter in his arms, a sword tied to his waist, and an umbrella in his hand.

Beside him, there was a little girl dressed in black.

The little girl was born fresh and lovely, but there was no expression on her face, and she looked extremely indifferent.

She was holding a pot of green leaves in her arms.

Chen Changsheng didn't walk fast, but the little girl was very petite, and if she wanted to keep up with him, she had to be fast.

As she walked, her black hair swayed and fell in the cold wind, and the green leaves in her arms also swayed and fell.

It wasn't the sculls in the spring breeze, but the way she and the world should be.

......

......
