The small pond is still the small pond it used to be, no matter how the wind and rain in the outside world change, the mountain behind the academy is still as quiet as ever, and this small pond will not change in any way.

Mr. Chen sat on the side of the small pond, lying on the green leaves on the water surface of a small white snake, basking in the sun on his back, after the Snow Country Palace, everyone in the world knew that there was really a dragon in the Tang Academy, it was the little white snake lying on the green leaves in front of him basking in the sun.

Speaking of which, the two of them had heard the legend of a dragon in the mountain behind the academy before, so they came here to see it, and later came to the same conclusion as Li Xiu, not to mention raising a dragon in such a big place, even if it is a pig, it is too narrow to turn over.

But now they don't dare to slack off in the slightest.

Zhong Liang and Liang Xiaodao first saluted the little white snake, and then saluted Mr. Chen, and said with a smile: "Mr. Chen is really good Yaxing." ”

Their relationship with Mr. Chen is already better, and Mr. Chen does not regard himself as an elder on weekdays, and chats mostly about laughter.

Mr. Chan reached out and patted the ground on his side, motioning for the two of them to sit down.

Liang Xiaoliang and Zhong Liang sat down quietly, knowing that Mr. Chen must have something to say, so they didn't open their mouths and listened quietly.

There is no bait on the hook, so Mr. Chen naturally does not really want to fish.

"Over the years, the academy has always been dealing with heavenly affairs, and ninety percent of the academy's teachings and disciples have chosen to go to Huaiyuguan after entering the Five Realms. ”

Liang Xiaodao nodded suddenly, no wonder everyone in the world has known that the academy is very strong over the years, but the strength of the academy over the years is not consistent with the rumors.

"The academy has always been planning for the heavens, and if the plan of the academy and Qingshan is followed, it will only take less than a thousand years at most, and the crisis in Huaiyuguan can be completely resolved. ”

A thousand years sounds like a long time, but in the vast river of time, this thousand years is not as long as it sounds at first glance, and even a Five Realms Grandmaster is not a particularly difficult thing to live to a thousand years old.

Mr. Chen sat quietly, the fishing rod in his hand was very stable, without the slightest shaking.

Liang Xiaodao and Zhong Liang knew a little about this matter, but they didn't know it completely, if Li Xiu was here, they would definitely ask Xu Wenfu about it.

If both the academy and Tsingshan have their own plans, then what will Xu Wenfu do?

Why did Wang Buji say that what should happen would definitely happen?

If they had acted according to the plan of the academy and Qingshan, Xu Wenfu could have forcibly imprisoned Wang Zhiwei to avoid the situation where the gate of heaven was opened, but they did not do so.

It seems that not all the people guarding Huaiyu Pass are in the same camp, and there may be factions between them.

Liang Xiaodao and Zhong Liang couldn't think of this, so they wouldn't ask.

This matter has nothing to do with them, and Mr. Chen will not say it.

He just said: "Judging from the current situation, no matter what kind of plan has become a useless plan, no matter how much foreshadowing there is, it will not be a foreshadowing when it is unveiled one by one." ”

Liang Xiaodao asked: "Then what should we do in the future? Is it difficult to achieve it?"

Mr. Chen was silent for a while, and then said: "The world is always changing, the next year or two seems to be very short, fleeting, but what kind of changes will happen in these two years is something that no one can say, what we need to do is to wait, wait for everything to change." ”

This sounded a bit like waiting to be killed, and Zhong Liang couldn't help but ask, "If nothing changes, what will happen then?"

Mr. Chen smiled and said softly, "Then it's hard work." ”

This is the final answer, Liang Xiaodao and Zhong Liang looked at each other and fell silent, their mood became a little heavy, the human world is not strong enough to crush all the heavenly immortals, and it is so hard that in the end, who loses and who wins?

In fact, several people have the answer in their hearts, if the world really has the ability to win by hard encounters, then there is no need to stick to Huaiyu Pass, and it will be pushed back a long time ago.

The three of them sat on the side of the pond, the belly of the little white snake rising and falling, and they slept very soundly.

After a while, Mr. Chen spoke: "Go to Xiaoyuanmen to find Mo Shanhai, and he will go to Huangzhou with you." ”

Liang Xiaodao nodded, got up and left the back mountain with Zhong Liang.

He didn't say the purpose of his trip, but Mr. Chen already knew, which was not surprising, and the person in front of him seemed to know a lot of things.

The small round gate is naturally also in the academy, but the location is much more remote, almost at the very edge of the academy, inaccessible, and few people will go there.

There are only more than 300 people in the academy in total, and the most lively place is the village of Hui Zhuang, where one-third of the people are concentrated, and the academy occupies a large area, and some disciples have practiced in it for three years until they leave, and may not have walked through the whole picture of the academy.

Coming down from the mountain, Liang Xiaodao's footsteps paused in the direction of the old alley, it was there that the four of them reached an agreement, and it was there that they learned some secrets about the sky and the flower, looking at the present, there are indeed many secrets hidden in the academy, such as what is in the old alley, even the current Liang Xiaodao does not dare to assert.

When he came to the small round door, before he could knock on the door, he saw nine people standing side by side outside the courtyard wall.

Liang Xiaodao's face was a little colder, and even Zhong Liang only nodded slightly, which was regarded as a greeting, but did not speak.

The temperament of the nine people was cold, and they were not people who talked much, and they never spoke when they saw each other.

These nine people are the nine sons of the academy, and they got the nine-colored rainbow light in the depths of the sea of books, and it stands to reason that they should be the pride of the academy, but it is precisely because of the indifference of the nine people in the sea of books that all the academy disciples are dissatisfied.

Even when I went to Xuzhou City to support some time ago, the disciples of the academy followed the Qingjiao Division from afar.

"They are Mo Shanhai's disciples. ”

Zhong Liang leaned towards his side and whispered.

Liang Xiaodao's brows furrowed, and he immediately turned around and left here.

Zhong Liang looked at his back and shook his head helplessly, but he didn't say anything, so he had to follow.

"How many seniors have come back from the academy this time?"

"Four. ”

"Take me to the other three. ”

Zhong Liang nodded and led the way.

"Qin Yuan's Qin Feng teaching, the strength is also superb, although I haven't seen it, but I have seen the record of Mr. Qin in the records of the Library Pavilion, he set foot in the wild for fifteen years of stagnation, and last year he broke through the realm to become the master of the Five Realms, and killed thirty-nine Five Realm Immortals in one day with the single sword of Huaiyu Pass, it is said that if he hadn't been pulled, he would have rushed into the fairy world with a sword that day, and if he could get Mr. Qin's support to go to Huangzhou, he would have been equally worry-free all the way. ”

The two came to Qin Yuan, knocked on the door, and waited quietly outside the door.

After a while, the door opened, and the two of them walked in to see a man sitting in the courtyard wiping his sword, with a gentle face and a smile on his face.

This man was not wearing the white clothes of the academy, but a black dress with red circles embroidered on the cuffs, and the only white thing was the white rag he held in his hand to wipe the blade of the sword.

"Sit!"

Liang Xiaodao and Zhong Liang walked in, Qin Feng glanced up at them and said with a smile.

The two of them sat down on the stone pier in the courtyard, waiting for Qin Feng to deal with the matter at hand, and also looking at the furnishings and scenes in the courtyard.

It's the end of winter, but it's still winter, and there are still showers of snow falling in the air from time to time, and the snow on the ground hasn't completely cleared.

Some of them were surprised that there were no snowflakes in this Qin Garden, the ground was even covered with grass, the trees in the courtyard were growing very green, and even the potted plants placed in the corners of the walls and under the house were full of spring.

There is no winter appearance in the precincts.

As if seeing their surprise, Qin Feng said softly: "I don't like snow, and when I came back, winter was not over yet, so I went to ask Su Sheng to come to me late to paint a few paintings." ”

Liang Xiaodao looked at the surrounding scene, bent down and touched the grass under his feet, feeling the full realism of his fingertips, and said in surprise: "Drawn?"

Qin Feng smiled and said: "Living in this world actually doesn't need to distinguish the true from the false so clearly, on the surface, these things are all drawn, but in fact they are real, painting can create the most real things when it reaches a certain realm, whether what you see in your eyes is true or false, can you really be sure of it?"

Although the seowon is a place for teaching and educating people, the teaching and learning in it do not necessarily have to be unfathomable.

No one wants to talk like this all the time, let alone it is the first time they meet, so Qin Feng must be trying to express something when he says this.

Zhong Liang stood on the side and never interjected.

Liang Xiaodao was a very smart person, he understood the meaning of Qin Feng's words, but he didn't quite understand it yet, so he asked, "What does Mr. Qin mean that after the appearance of Jiuzi's cold temperament, there is a reason that we don't know?"

Just like Wang Zhiwei's refusal to draw his sword, under the incomprehension of the world, what is hidden is an extremely heavy responsibility.

Qin Feng nodded, and he stopped wiping the sword, because the sword in his hand had been wiped very clean.

He explained: "The nine sons have had their own mission since they were born, they have grown up in the same vein, they have grown together, they have followed the same master, they have obtained the same opportunities at the same speed, and they have grown in unison. ”

The life of the nine sons is all the same, the progress and rhythm of the practice are the same, and everything is the same.

I hadn't noticed it before, but it wasn't until I was mentioned by Qin Feng that the two of them were shocked to realize that it was really the case.

Qin Feng stood in front of them, raised his sword in front of his eyes and looked at it inch by inch, while saying, "There is a reason for anything that is unusual, and the Nine Sons also have their own reasons for being like this. ”

The two of them pricked up their ears and listened.

Qin Feng suddenly asked, "Did Mr. Chen tell you about the plan of the academy and Qingshan?"

Liang Xiaodao nodded, and shook his head again: "Speaking of having a plan, it will be possible to permanently solve the heavenly affairs after a thousand years, but I didn't say the content of the specific plan." ”

Qin Feng put down his sword, the blade of the sword slashed through the air and let out a soft sound, he thought for a moment, and then said: "This matter was originally a secret, but now that Wang Zhiwei suddenly pulled out his sword and opened those doors, there is no possibility of implementing this plan, and it doesn't hurt to talk to you now." ”

He turned his head to look at the two of them, and was silent for a while, as if sorting out his words, before he said, "Actually, the ninth son is the one who is destined to be sacrificed. ”

When these words came out, Liang Xiaodao and Zhong Liang's faces suddenly changed, and they were a little incredulous.

Qin Feng said with a smile: "You must not believe that the academy would do such a thing as sacrificing disciples, but this is indeed a fact, back then, the dean and the head of Qingshan came up with a method, wanting to unite Jiuding to guard the boundary of the world, as long as Jiuding exists to guard the world, then it can ensure that the world will never be violated, even if the foreign heavenly immortals are no matter how powerful they are, they will not be able to break through the blockade of Jiuding." ”

"The ninth son is this Jiuding. ”

"The dean walked the world and finally found the nine people who came from the same lineage, and their talents also happened to be the top in the world, and if they wanted to practice Jiuding, they needed the same qi of nine people, including the strength of the realm, and so on, all of which needed to be completely consistent, so there was a scene where the nine sons were inseparable, and if they wanted to reach the level of being refined into the nine tripods, they needed to become the grandmasters of the five realms, and they were infinitely close to the six realms, and only when they were infinitely close to the six realms could the nine people be sacrificed at the same time to be able to cast the Jiuding with strength and strength to reach the six realms, and to be able to exert enough power to suppress the heavens。 ”

"The nine sons know their mission and others, they have regrets about it, but they do not object, the nine people walk side by side on this road hand in hand, in order to become stronger, for greater responsibility, so they chose to stand by in the sea of books, to get the nine-color opportunity. ”

"The consequence of becoming Jiuding is to mean one's own death, which is the plan of the academy and Tsingshan. ”

Qin Feng put down his sword and said all this lightly.

Liang Xiaodao and Zhong Liang were speechless from shock, and they didn't know what to say at all.

In order to protect the whole world, it is necessary to sacrifice the nine of them, since they have just entered the academy, they have known their future fate, and they have been practicing non-stop in order to die, how much has the heart of the nine sons endured over the years?

Liang Xiaodao's voice was a little bitter, and he couldn't believe it: "This is the plan of the academy?"

He looked up at Qin Feng, his tone was a little angry, but also a little helpless.

Since when will the academy also trade human lives?

Qin Feng was also looking at him, and asked rhetorically: "Sacrificing a few people and preserving the majority is the best choice when facing life and death, among the two options of all dead and nine dead, which one doesn't seem to be worth tangling with, if it were you who were in charge, how would you choose?"

Liang Xiaodao's eyes were a little dazed, and he said, "I don't know. ”

This is indeed a very uncomfortable choice, but it is also a clear choice, ninety percent of people will choose to sacrifice nine sons to cast nine tripods to ensure that the world is worry-free.

It's not hard to choose.

But that's not fair.

It also doesn't make sense.

Qin Feng said: "In the face of the unattainable future, choosing a direction that can be seen by the naked eye is the best choice. ”

Liang Xiaodao scolded: "Fuck it." ”

Qin Feng didn't mind and didn't speak.

Sacrificing the few for the majority is a manifestation of incompetence, but it is for survival, and there is no right or wrong.

Liang Xiaodao realized a problem this time, so he asked: "If you have already determined that this plan is worth using, why don't you forcibly imprison or take Wang Zhiwei away from the world, and keeping him in Wudang Mountain is equivalent to the possibility of drawing a sword at any time, and the plan of the academy and Qingshan will not be able to be implemented, just like now?"

In the next one or two years, the heavenly immortals will come to the world, and at that time, the nine sons are still only in the realm of the wild realm, it is impossible to become a grandmaster, and it is impossible to get infinitely close to the six realms, so naturally they will not be able to sacrifice themselves to cast the nine tripods.

Qin Feng did not hide it, and explained: "The plan of the academy and Qingshan is not ten percent sure, although the dean and the head of the sect have the certainty of casting Jiuding, but at most it is only seventy percent, what if it fails after a thousand years? In the face of such a thing, there is never only one plan and plan, the camp in Huaiyu Pass has been divided into three over the years, the first is those who stay in Huaiyu Pass, birth, old age, sickness and death are among them, they were born there, and they are buried there after death, and they are passed down from generation to generation. ”

"The second is those people who have been in the human world to support them, that is, those who have entered Huaiyu Pass from the Academy, Qingshan, and the Void Realm. ”

"The third is those who were reincarnated and rebuilt in ancient times, and it is precisely because of their obstruction that Wang Zhiwei, an unstable factor, has always stayed on Wudang Mountain. ”

Liang Xiaodao was a little puzzled, so he asked again: "Why did they let Wang Zhiwei stay in Wudang Mountain?"

Qin Feng replied: "Wudang Mountain is the place where Wang Zhiwei rebuilt, only by staying in Wudang Mountain can he be able to gather momentum, and sealing that sword in the scabbard forever is also accumulating momentum, this is a double-edged sword, if the momentum is successful, when he draws the sword, he will directly become a monk of the Six Realms, with the power to influence the battle situation, if he fails, it will be like this." ”

Gather momentum!

Liang Xiaodao understood what he meant this time, Wang Zhiwei had always been a wandering monk before, with Chen Luo, Su Sheng, Wan Zifei and others breaking through the realm one after another, he still stayed in the four realms without any signs of breakthrough, this is not that he can't break through, but is gathering momentum, some time ago Xu Yingxiu died, Wang Zhiwei drew his sword, and his cultivation went straight to the peak of the five realms, so he was able to guard those doors.

He's a little short, a few years away.

If you draw your sword a few years later, you will be able to become a monk of the Six Realms, but unfortunately you can't.

There are three forces on Huaiyu Pass, although there were some differences before, the general direction is the same, and there will be no bad infighting, just like the academy, healthy competition.

But now that Wang Zhiwei has drawn his sword, and the plans of the three parties have all failed, then he can only see what changes can occur during this period of time, as Mr. Chen said.

Several people fell into silence, Qin Feng looked at Liang Xiaodao, stretched out his hand and pointed to the door, and said, "Then now, do you want to go to Mo Shanhai?"

Jiuzi's misunderstanding has been resolved, and Liang Xiaodao and Zhong Liang, who learned the truth, are a little ashamed and angry about Jiuzi in their hearts.

Ashamed of their previous ignorance, angry that they accepted their mission so easily.

Infinitely close to the Six Realms, if there really is such a day, why don't the nine people try to break through the realm?

If they were really able to cultivate to that point, and let the nine people experience and grow according to their own circumstances, might it be even greater to set foot in the Six Realms in the future?

He understands Jiuzi, but he is still angry, and it is also anger towards himself, anger at other people in the world.

The emotions are mixed.

Liang Xiaodao frowned and asked, "Mr. Mo obviously knows the fate of his disciple in the future, but he is still willing to be a bystander. ”

Qin Feng shook his head: "It's still the same sentence, nine people and the world, it's not difficult to choose." ”

"And how did he choose?"

Qin Feng was silent for a while and said, "Mo Shanhai is naturally unwilling. ”

Liang Xiaodao nodded: "This is still like something." ”

He turned around and walked towards the door, and after walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped, came back to his senses and asked, "I want to know what Mr. Qin's original opinion was?"

Qin Feng shrugged his shoulders: "I entered the virtual realm ten years ago, the realm has been stagnant all these years, and I only entered the five realms last year, how dare an insignificant gentleman like me give any opinion?"

Liang Xiaodao didn't believe this, once he broke through the Five Realms and killed thirty-nine Five Realm Immortals in one day, he dared to guarantee that such a person was not only the Academy, but even the entire world was a rare existence.

"Mr. Qin also uses a sword, I don't know if your strength is compared with the sword immortal Xiao Boru when he was in the Five Realms, which is stronger and which is weaker?"

Qin Feng waved his hand: "I don't dare to compare with Mr. Xiao, my sword is still taught by him." ”

It has been said before that the number of Heavenly Immortal Five Realm Grandmasters is much higher than that of the human world, but the quality is not as good as that of the human world.

But Rao is like this, Qin Feng can kill thirty-nine immortals in one day, and his strength should be at the same level as Chen Luo.

Today's Chen Luo should be able to rank among the top five of the Heavenly Scrolls.

With such terrifying strength, in other words, as long as the dean doesn't come back, no one in the academy today can beat him Qin Feng.

Su Shengwan and Mr. Chen are not good, they are such people who still say that they are insignificant.

Liang Xiaodao wanted to know his attitude towards that incident even more, so he stood there and looked at him, his eyes inquiring.

Qin Feng sighed, and then said with a smile: "You really like to get to the bottom of it, in fact, my answer back then was the same as yours." ”

His voice paused, and then he said, "Fuck it." ”

Mr. Chen, who was in the mountain behind the academy, put down the fishing rod in his hand at this moment, looked up at the sky, and smiled slightly.

Liang Xiaodao also laughed after listening to this familiar and pleasing sentence, and Zhong Liang did the same.

He turned to Qin Feng and saluted and said, "I'm going to Huangzhou, and I ask Mr. Qin to support me." ”

Qin Feng was a little disgusted, and said unhappily: "Mo Shanhai has time, you don't look for it, you have to come to me, and you don't talk about etiquette at all." ”

Liang Xiaodao looked up at him and touched his nose like Li Xiu.

Qin Feng put the sword into the scabbard, and then said helplessly: "Since you want to go, let's go early, I can't let go for too long when I am full of spring." ”
