Chapter 299: Self-deception

Those who break the kettle and sink the boat do not leave themselves half a way out, and if they win, they will survive, and if they lose, they will die.

Those who cut off their robes and cut off their righteousness, and their brothers who are like brothers and sisters, will break with each other completely, and on the day of goodbye, they will be swords against each other.

When a person is about to make a big decision, there is always a ritual of one kind or another to cut off his other thoughts.

When Qi Yuban chose to cooperate with the Netherworld Sect, he also made a choice that was extremely important to him, of course, he needed a ritual now, to say goodbye to his past self and the past Cloud Sky Temple.

And this ritual is to sacrifice the life of Qi Tianshou, the Lord of the Cloud Sky Observatory, and bid farewell to the past.

Ye Lingfeng could understand Qi Yuban's thoughts, so he said: "Dao Elder said with a smile, since you are willing to make a complete break with this past, I will support you, after tonight, Dao Elder will be the Dan Lao of my Nether Sect." ”

Hearing this, Qi Tianshou was slightly surprised, and then it became clear again.

The five junior disciples have no other desires in the mortal world, and the Netherworld Sect keeps his life, gives him all convenience, and allows him to concentrate on alchemy, and the two take what they need, which is a win-win situation.

For Ye Lingfeng's unobtrusive compliment, Qi Yuban didn't take it to heart, and said: "For this reason, Qi has a reluctant request......

Before Qi Yuban's words were finished, Ye Lingfeng cut off and said: "Dao Chief, please take care of yourself, but I have to remind the Dao Chief, no matter what the Dao Chief's plans are, please arrange it properly in the next tea, if you delay it for too long, I am afraid that there will be many dreams at night." ”

Qi Yuban said: "Thank you." ”

The matter has come to this, Qi Tianshou is also very open, no matter what the final result is, there is always one person who can survive in Yuntianguan, maybe this person's heart now does not belong to Yuntianguan, but his skills are all suffered by Yuntianguan, the view of Yuntianguan or no longer exists, but the Tao of Yuntianguan, but there is still a spark to be inherited, three years and five years, or even ten or twenty years later, will he break through the way of heaven, turn his mind, and re-establish Yuntianguan?

I don't know why, Qi Tianshou actually felt that this answer was yes.

Qi Tianshou said: "Senior brother still has questions in his heart?"

Qi Yuban said: "It's not a question, it's a question." ”

Qi Tianshou said: "Since it is a question, the junior brother should already have the answer in his heart." ”

"Yes. ”

"But the junior brother wants to get the answer I said in person?"

"Yes. ”

"What is important to you about this answer?"

"Very important! Or rather, my brother's explanation of this answer is very important to me. ”

Qi Tianshou stopped talking and waited for Qi Yuban to ask.

Qi Yuban paused and asked, "If there is a traitor between the third brother and me, who does the senior brother think?"

Qi Tianshou barely hesitated for a moment, and said, "You." ”

"Why?" Although Qi Yuban was a little disappointed with this answer, he was not too surprised, what he originally wanted to hear was how Qi Tianshou would explain.

Qi Yuban said: "The third junior brother is too obsessed with Dan Dao. Of course, so do you. However, his infatuation is a kind of intoxication. And your stupidity is a kind of madness. ”

"Intoxicated, crazy?" Qi Yuban muttered and repeated, as if he had captured the difference, but after a moment, he was still confused.

Qi Tianshou asked, "Why did the junior brother refine the pill?"

"Why alchemy?"

Just hearing these four words, Qi Yuban was completely stunned, yes, why did he make alchemy?

Seeing that Qi Yuban did not answer, Qi Tianshou continued: "The pill can condense the essence of heaven and earth, for those of us who are cultivators, firstly, it can be regarded as a tool for us to ask for immortals, an indispensable tool, and secondly, it can also temper the mind in the process of alchemy...... For cultivators, both cultivation and character are indispensable. ”

Qi Tianshou's implication is self-evident that Qi Yuban has lost his heart.

Qi Yuban also realized that Qi Tianshou meant something, but now that he had no way back, he did not regret his pursuit, and asked, "Please also ask Senior Brother to make it clear." ”

Qi Tianshou said: "In this regard, most of the people on the Cloud Sky View are basically the same, and most people naturally include you and me. ”

Qi Yuban said: "Senior brother is saying that the third brother is different from us. ”

Qi Tianshou said: "Yes, the junior brother is bent on improving his own cultivation, so he wants to refine the elixir that can improve his own cultivation, and alchemy for the sake of alchemy, so he is crazy." And the reason why the third junior brother is tired of alchemy is because alchemy is like good wine to him, and the wine fairy does not use wine to drown his sorrows, but indulges in wine and wine. ”

Qi Yuban concluded according to Qi Tianshou's words: "The third child is intoxicated with Dan Dao and can get carried away for alchemy, but I am an alchemy with a purpose, and if I lose my heart, I will be desperate and unscrupulous to achieve the goal." ”

Qi Tianshou was silent.

Qi Yuban sighed lightly: "Alas, it seems that this point of view is not a day and a half in the senior brother's heart. ”

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.

Qi Yuban's tone was indifferent, there was disappointment in himself and calmness about reality, but he could never imagine the turbulent waves set off in Qi Tianshou's heart.

Qi Tianshou only felt that Qi Yuban's words were torturing himself: "Since Senior Brother, you found out that I had gone astray for more than a day and a half, why didn't you help me correct my mistakes earlier, and I had to wait until today, when the big mistake was made, then you and I would regret it?!"

Yes, since he has discovered that something is wrong with the fifth junior brother, why do you still let it go and not intervene?

If I had communicated with the Fifth Senior Brother in time, would such a scene have happened today?

Of course not!

Unfortunately, there are no ifs.

Sure enough, Yuntianguan has today's fruit, and it is inseparable from himself after all.

Then why didn't he stop the fifth junior brother from falling deeper and deeper into the wrong path?

Is it because I don't care about this? Is it because I don't trust the fifth junior brother? Or is it jealous of the fifth junior brother?

When did he discover the fifth junior brother and start refining the pill desperately?

Qi Yuban smiled miserably when he saw Qi Tianshou, and saw Qi Tianshou's sadness and self-blame.

What did he think? Qi Yuban said in his heart.

Qi Tianshou said: "Senior brother, do you still remember the selfless pill you refined?"

Qi Yuban was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then laughed at himself, and said, "Naturally, I remember, that may be the only mark I left on the Cloud Sky Temple, and I was slightly better than the two senior brothers in that alchemy competition." ”

Qi Tianshou said: "Yes, the competition, there will be winners and losers if there is a competition, and my cultivators should have looked down on the winners and losers." ”

Qi Yuban said: "It's a pity that I couldn't do it. ”

Qi Tianshou said: "I haven't been able to do it either." ”

Qi Yuban was surprised when he heard this, he thought that Qi Tianshou was teaching himself about this, but he never expected to get such an answer.

Qi Tianshou said: "Back then, the master created this list, with the intention of forming a healthy competition through this list, so that I could refine better and better pills, but I used the competition to arouse everyone's desire to compare." ”

Qi Yuban said: "No, Senior Brother's words are wrong. In those years, not long after the master immortal left, the senior brother had just taken over the responsibility of Yuntianguan, and there was a depressed scene in the view, and that competition not only restored the vitality of Yuntianguan in the past, but also injected the vitality of Yuntianguan, otherwise Yuntianguan would not have today's prosperity, and the junior brother did not think that there was anything wrong with the senior brother's move. ”

Qi Tianshou shook his head and said with a smile: "With the wealth left by the master and the ancestors, people in Yuntianguan can find their own way sooner or later, but I single-handedly pushed the wheel of Yuntianguan to the cliff. ”

Qi Yuban saw that Qi Tianshou was laughing a little crazy, but he was afraid of deception, so he didn't dare to approach easily, so he couldn't help but worry and said, "Senior brother, ......"

Qi Tianshou waved his hand, seemed to calm down quickly, and said: "In that competition, only three people in my generation were among the top ten on the list, do you remember the junior brother?"

"In order, I, the third brother and you. ”

"Yes, you can be the winner for you?"

"If you are lucky enough to win the competition, you can still achieve more than the achievements of your predecessors, I think so. ”

"According to the junior brother, me and the third junior brother can also be regarded as winners?"

"Naturally. ”

"No, the real winner of the three of us is only the third junior brother. ”

"Senior brother is trying to say that only if the third child has no fighting spirit in that competition, can he be regarded as a real victory?"

"So to speak. Brother, do you remember how you won at that time?"

"The medicinal properties of the selfless pill and the empty light powder are almost the same, but the powder is a semi-finished product, and the pill is the ultimate pursuit of alchemy, and the time I take is shorter. Talking about the past years, Qi Yuban's words inevitably revealed a little pride.

"Then junior brother should remember, what did you do to achieve this extreme and complete this selfless pill in a shorter time?" Qi Tianshou asked.

People are always good at deceiving themselves, they will always choose to forget about dishonorable things, about painful things, about many things that they don't want others to know, believing that time will erase the traces, and then these things will "really" not happen to them.

Qi Yuban was the same, he was speechless.

Of course he knew what he had done in order to refine the Selfless Pill, but he had chosen to forget.

At that time, the competition was completed in separate retreats, during which any means were used, God knew what he knew, but no second person would know.

Therefore, for the hands and feet he did in the process of alchemy, Qi Yuban threw them out of the clouds.

So much so, as the years passed, he almost forgot about it.

It's a pity that everything is self-deception after all.

Could it be that Senior Brother had already seen through his tricks back then?

In the end, Qi Tianshou gave the answer.

"It was the third junior brother who saw the problem in the selfless pill. ”
