Sedum is sad now, but he is sad in his heart! He thinks this kind of emotion is very strange, why should he have such emotions?

Why do people feel sad?

To be sad is to be sad.

The spring breeze is sad for the snowfield, and the hero is sad for the beauty. The relationship is difficult, and the relationship between life and death is even more difficult.

Sedum realized that it was not because of death, he read a lot of books, and even read a lot of things in the Shadow Book Pavilion, and he had a better understanding of life and death than others.

He was thinking more about whether he would accept this kind of parting! That's right, it was parting! This emotion was parting, and the parting of life and death might be the most incomprehensible emotion for a creature like a human being.

Living in the world, there will always be all kinds of accidents, changes of mind, and finally death that cannot be escaped.

Even if a cultivator can live forever, or even immortality, it can't change it, but it can only make them see all parting more clearly.

If the purpose of cultivating immortals and seeking the Tao is to pursue immortality, then how should people deal with anything within themselves and around them? Come to think of it, the Great Dao must be ruthless, otherwise anyone will eventually go crazy.

Sedum cleaned up his messy mood, came to the outer hall, and looked at Hong Zhao standing in front of the window, Hong Zhao was looking at Dingnan City in the distance from here.

Hong Zhao's back is still so upright, and his perennial military career has made him have a deep taste of iron and blood, but Sedum noticed that Hong Zhao's temples already have gray hair!

This father of his own cultivation is very powerful, but as his child, it doesn't take long, and people who cultivate immortals often arrange for the future after seeing the results, compared to talking about having children.

Another example is to accept apprentices!

If you have no hope of taking another step when that moment comes, of course, you want to have a inheritance of your bloodline or Dao Law, and this is probably the case for all immortal cultivators.

But Hong Zhao is an outlier, he broke through again not long after having Sedum and his sister, and finally became a great immortal general, it can be said that his longevity has become longer!

And Sedum and his sister are not able to practice, which may have something to do with their mother, as a father, Hong Zhao obviously has to face the harsher reality of his life, and his closest relatives will eventually leave him.

If he relied on his shade, Sedum would naturally live a very nourishing life in this life, but he was unwilling, he had to solve the problem of cultivation by himself, he had to walk on that avenue.

I don't know when Sedum saw the back of his father's detachment, and he was very down-to-earth, but recently he felt that the back was really a bit thin!

Now that he saw Hong Zhao's back again, Sedum suddenly felt a little sour in his heart, and that feeling was even heavier!

Walking to the position in front of the window, Sedum did not look at his father, but also looked at Dingnan City in the distance with him, it was evening when he came, and it was already late at night at this moment!

There is a large amount of qi qi rising in the sky above Dingnan City, because the city wall has been repaired at present, but there are still lights all over the city in the city, and the night sky reflected in it is very lively.

Hong Zhao suddenly spoke, he pointed to the three bright places in Dingnan City in the distance: "There is the Stargazing Tower, the building of the shopkeeper Pan, I asked him to repair three places, and the three points are a formation!

Sedum said that this is the case, and the stargazing tower still has this effect! But what is Daddy telling himself about this?

"This was originally your father-in-law's idea, I didn't think about it that much, who knew that this was also his auxiliary way of picking the moon with three stars! ”

Sedum asked strangely, "What did you say to your father-in-law?"

Hong Zhao sighed and said: "It's nothing more than the words of the north and the south, he knows that I am under a lot of pressure, and he wants to share it for me, but he doesn't want to put himself in it." ”

Sedum thought of Yuan Qingshan's character, and knew that Hong Zhao must have warned him that he should not easily calculate the hexagram, but Yuan Qingshan couldn't listen to it, so he couldn't help but sigh.

"So is it more troublesome to the south or the north?"

Sedum turned around and looked at Hong Zhao, he still didn't know much about some of the details of the current situation, but the general situation was still relatively clear, but it depended on what Hong Zhao thought.

"Although the north side is troublesome, it is still in the hidden stage, many things they dare not do openly, the real trouble is the south side!" Hong Zhao did not turn around, and continued to look at Dingnan City in the night.

"I'm afraid they don't hesitate to sit on the bright side of things! When the south makes a noise, the north will immediately take action! Even if there are big people pressing them, there are people who want to make meritorious contributions under those people. ”

Hong Zhao turned his head to look at him this time and said, "You mean those who assassinated you?"

Sedum didn't speak, and continued to look at Dingnan City in the night, Hong Zhao nodded slightly: "It also makes sense, the realm of those people is too low." ”

Both of them were silent, they seemed to be thinking about things, some things actually don't need to be said, Hong Zhao, the king of Dingnan, is too special after all, and it doesn't seem normal if something doesn't surround him.

But in the past few decades, especially after having Sedum and his sister, Hong Zhao's side seems to have been very quiet, and nothing too special has happened.

This is not normal, in this world, there should not be too many people who love him, but there are very many people who hate him! This is related to the way Hong Zhao did things before.

Don't say that there was no calculation of killing people during the Western Expedition, even after going south, several wars with the Southern Tang Dynasty were full of corpses, and the people of the Southern Tang Dynasty were eager to eat their flesh and sleep on their skin! In addition, in the court of the Shendu, not to mention the people offended by Hong Zhao.

Guan Shanhai once told Sedum that there was a time before that there were often assassins in the Dingnan Palace, almost killing batches and batches, as if they couldn't finish killing.

Even if he had come up with a lot of cruel means to deal with those assassins, it didn't work! It wasn't until the prince once went out for a few days with a team of flying horses!

What did King Dingnan do when he went out? No one knows, and the prince naturally won't say it, but it is obviously a deterrent measure, no matter what he does, at least it still has a deterrent effect for those Xiaoxiao.

Besides, there are even more masters in the palace, don't look at Sedum who is usually not careful, but he still knows, and people like Zhu Mingxu are only a few who can show up on the bright side.

Thinking about it a lot of messy doesn't mean that Sedum can figure out the countermeasures, but since he has made up his mind before, there are still some things that need to be done.

"I seem to regret it a little...... It's up to you!"

Hong Zhao seemed to feel a little guilty after saying this, so he didn't look at Sedum, but Sedum understood what it meant.

"No, I've already decided, and I'm not going south for your business!"

"There is no one by your side! Although that Fang Yue is good, he is dedicated to cultivating swords......!"

"He's my friend, not my bodyguard, don't beat his idea!" Sedum warned with a straight face.

Hong Zhao smiled helplessly, Sedum spoke with a child's taste too strong, but he knew that Sedum was a real person, so he didn't dwell on this issue.

He turned and sat down on a chair in the outer hall of the aisle, which was lit by two lampshades, and the light was not too bright, it was dim!

Hong Zhao picked up a cup of tea, took a sip and found that it was cold, so he put it on the table again.

"Come out!" he said.

Sedum looked at Hong Zhao in a little surprise, this sentence was obviously not said to him, there were no outsiders in the entire outer hall at all, who would he talk to?

And at this moment, I saw that the shadow projected on the wall behind Hong Zhao suddenly distorted, and then a black shadow suddenly stood out from inside, and I couldn't help but be taken aback!

But that black shadow stood beside Hong Zhao like that, motionless like a guard, and today I realized that this was the person in the mansion, and this guy was the most mysterious person.

"In the future, the shadow will follow you, at least to ensure your safety, and I can rest assured that you go to the south. Hong Zhao said.

Sedum looked closely at the black shadow, only to find that this person was black from head to toe, as if covered in a large piece of black cloth, except for the flickering light of two small holes on his face, this person did not know what magic to use to hide in the shadows, worthy of being called a shadow!

Sedum pointed to the shadow and asked, "What kind of cultivation is he, is he also a great immortal general?"

Hong Zhao didn't speak, but the shadow did, his voice was like two pieces of iron rubbing, it was very ugly and harsh, but fortunately, his voice was low.

"I'm not a great immortal general, and I hate this set of titles. ”

Hong Zhao said with a smile: "The shadow has been following me all these years, the cultivation of the late Yuan Infant period, he will not appear if he hides in the shadows, but the general incarnation of the Great Immortal of the Void Period will not be his opponent." ”

Shadow is based on the cultivation of the late Yuan Infant, but he specializes in assassination and assassination, as a guard hidden in the shadows, it is obviously a very powerful killing move by Hong Zhao!

Sedum used the Qi Observation Technique to not be able to detect a trace of other people's aura behind Hong Zhao, which showed how powerful this person's concealment technique was! Until he was willing to reveal his true body, Sedum would inevitably be surprised.

"Good!" Sedum said a simple word and turned away.

The shadow then followed him, and Sedum went to Yuan Qingshan's bedroom, but he suddenly spoke, "Can you tell me your real name?"

A patch rubbing answer came from behind him: "It's called Shadow, no other name." ”

"Okay!" Sedum smiled bitterly, this is probably a hidden guard, it seems that no matter where he goes, this shadow will follow him, which is really a bit troublesome, because he is a person with many secrets.

I wonder if the shadow will notice the secret or conversation between himself and the heavens after the sky appears, how to avoid the shadows?

Sedum thinks he should explain a few words to the shadow and ask him not to be so close?

But when he turned around, he saw only his own shadow, and the shadow had lost all trace!
