The dream is shattered, not the most terrible, the most terrible thing is that after thinking about it for a long time, I realized that it was not a dream at all, just a beautiful dream.

The Holy Emperor and Yi Xuan are in such a state now, and they suddenly find themselves having a beautiful dream, and the loss that lingers when they first wake up from the big dream.

Seeing the dejected appearance of the Holy Emperor and Yi Xuan, Wen Dao San stirred the bonfire and said, "Master once said that most people actually live in dreams. ”

"The difference between dreams and dreams is very simple, but it is easy to be misunderstood, many times everyone will be confused by the illusion and beauty of dreams, mistakenly think that dreams are dreams, think that everything will come true, feel that it is within reach, but in fact, when we really stretch out our hands, we will find that there is nothing when we grasp it hard. ”

The Holy Emperor and Yi Xuan were still suffering from gains and losses, after all, the two of them had dreamed for too long, and they almost felt that they had caught the dream.

It was only at this point that Wen Daosan woke them up, making the two of them realize that they had actually been in a dream all along.

Gradually calming down, the Holy Emperor quickly stabilized his mind, and did not suffer from gains and losses for too long.

After calming his mind, the Holy Emperor stood up and left, not stopping at all in front of the campfire.

Seeing the back of the Holy Emperor leaving, Yi Xuan still had some gains and losses, but the whole person was already sober.

I couldn't help but ask Wen Daosan: "Senior brother, did you say that the Holy Emperor would collect troops and go back?"

This is the first time that Yi Xuan has been called Senior Brother of Wendao Sansheng seriously for so many years.

Wen Daosan shook his head and sighed: "It's impossible to turn back, the master is right, the Holy Emperor has already sent troops, so it's impossible to turn back." ”

Yi Xuan looked at the lonely but unusually firm back of the Holy Emperor, and suddenly felt that it seemed to be really sad.

After being silent for a long time, he couldn't help but ask: "Since you know that this is an impossible dream, why do you have to stick to it?" Maybe it's still too late. ”

Wen Daosan said calmly: "No, now we have no way back, our retreat has long been blocked. ”

Yi Xuan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but he seemed to think of something, staring at Wen Daosan and speechless in surprise.

Wen Daosan helped Yi Xuan to ask: "The moment the master entered the Western Regions, he had already sealed the return route to the east, and the master didn't want the war in the Sand Sea to affect Middle-earth, in fact, this was also the Holy Emperor's own decision, in the final analysis, the Holy Emperor still wanted to keep the foundations of the Tang Empire in Middle-earth." ”

Yi Xuan finally understood. Suddenly got up and said with a frightened face: "Then, doesn't that mean that no matter whether we succeed or not, we can't go back?"

Wen Daosan nodded: "Yes, Master and the Holy Emperor are doing this to completely destroy the Eternal Master. ”

"But what about us? What about us? Should we be sacrificed?"

Yi Xuan was obviously a little excited, after all, he would be very excited when he learned that the retreat was cut off, and whoever he was in would be very excited.

Even. Yi Xuan almost wanted to break out, and directly shot at Wen Daosan.

If it weren't for the fact that he knew that he was not the opponent of Wendao San, Yi Xuan might really make a move.

But Wen Daosan took a sip of wine and said, "This is our fate." It was also our own choice. ”

Raising his head and drinking the wine from the wine jug, Wen Daosan continued: "This road is destined to be impossible to turn back, why would the Holy Emperor insist on sending troops to the Shahai?"

Yi Xuan took over the words and said astringently: "The Holy Emperor just wants to cut off the inheritance of the Immortal Domain and the Buddha Land, so that the Immortal Domain and the Buddha Land will no longer interfere in Middle-earth. ”

Wen Daosan said indifferently: "Hmm." Yes, that's it, that's the true purpose of the Holy Emperor and Master. ”

"Maybe years later. The Immortal Realm and the Buddha Land may not be able to completely disappear from Middle-earth, but at least the Eternal Divine Kingdom will no longer be able to affect Middle-earth. ”

Yi Xuan said to himself a little dazedly: "Cutting off eternity, blocking the gods, it turns out that this is what the master wants to achieve all his life." ”

At this moment, Yi Xuan completely understood that everything he had thought before was wrong.

The Master never thought about creating a new civilization, nor did he think about achieving the so-called eternity.

Master's idea is actually very simple, that is, to cut off the era of all gods, to return everything in Middle-earth to the hands of mortals, and not to let the gods no longer dominate and influence the fate of the world, in that case, the future of Middle-earth will become unknown, and only in the situation that no one knows, it is possible to create a new civilization.

Yi Xuan finally understood the master, and when he went to see the master now, the old teacher was a person who was really for the sake of future generations.

Compared to the master, everyone seems to be very selfish, and Yi Xuan will feel even more ashamed.

Wen Daosan stood up, walked to Yi Xuan's side, patted Yi Xuan on the shoulder, and said, "Master, let me tell you, I hope you can find what you want." ”

With that, Wen Daosan turned around and left, returning to his camp, and the bonfire in the Tang army's camp was gradually extinguished at night.

The Holy Emperor was alone, standing on a ruined tower, looking out to the west.

In the Holy Emperor's mind, he also has what he wants to insist on, and even more so what he wants to get.

Even if he knew that it would be impossible to get the results he wanted when he went out to the Sand Sea this time, the Holy Emperor still had to continue to march towards the Sand Sea.

The Holy Emperor just wanted to see what it was like to achieve eternity, to see those eternities with his own eyes.

And behind the Holy Emperor, Middle-earth in the East, he believed that the empire would become stronger under the leadership of his master.

As for the future, the rise and fall of the empire, that is no longer something that the Holy Emperor can interfere with, just like what the former master said: "No empire can rise forever, the rise and fall of the empire, the change of dynasties, that cannot be stopped, the wheel of history will crush everything, maybe no one will remember them in future generations, but as long as you do a good job in the present." ”

In fact, maybe the disciples of the academy didn't know that the first disciple next to the master was actually the Holy Emperor.

Therefore, the Holy Emperor firmly supports the Master, and even if the Master needs him to sacrifice everything, the Holy Emperor will not hesitate to do it.

Just like today, he must lead his troops to the sand sea, and he will not regret embarking on this road of no return.

Taking a deep breath, the Holy Emperor said to himself very seriously, "I will fulfill my promise, Master, I will not let you down, and I will prove to the world that I am your best student." ”

In the imperial palace of Chang'an City in the Tang Empire, the master stood alone on the top of the imperial city, staring at the west as if hearing the words of the Holy Emperor.

The master looked a little gloomy and said, "Your Majesty, in fact, you don't need to prove to anyone that in my eyes, you have always been my best student. ”

In the imperial city, many people are busy, and the figures in the imperial city at night are longing, and the atmosphere is extremely strange and tense, as if something big is about to happen.

And all of this was seen by the master, but the master had no intention of interfering. (To be continued......)
