Chapter 500: Passing on the Torch
Sure enough, as I asked, Wu Yazi looked at me with a smiling expression, as if to say: Boy, I know what you are thinking in your heart!
It wasn't until a few breaths had passed that he slowly spoke: "It's gone, his old man has been gone for too long, too long!"
Wu Yazi's answer was also very unexpected to me.
Before that, in my thoughts, there were nothing more than the two possibilities of immortal death and living.
But he gave me a third answerβneither life nor death.
"Can you tell me the story of his old man?" I asked, looking very reverent.
At this moment, I especially want to know about my master's past, and I want to see what kind of strong man can teach a disciple like Elder Taishang.
Although, at present, I am destined to have no chance to learn from him, but this does not prevent me from respecting and admiring him.
Wu Yazi seemed to be satisfied with my attitude, and quickly put away the smile on his face, revealing a hint of solemnity.
"Shizun is known as Haifuzi, who is the absolute core figure of Confucianism, and is also one of the founders who advocated the establishment of the boundless sea of learning. β
"The sea character in the sea of learning is taken from the name of the teacher. And Senior Brother, my name of Boundless is also taken from the Boundless in the Boundless Sea of Learning!"
"The master respected the pedantic celestials, and his cultivation had almost reached the peak of Confucianism, and he was one of the real powerful figures under the sect master at that time. β
At the same time, he was very responsible, taking the world as his own responsibility, and when the disaster that swept the world came, he resolutely took all the senior brothers to settle the trouble. β
"But I didn't expect it to be gone...... "Wu Yazi said, a few wisps of sadness appeared on his face, but there were no tears left.
For people who have lived to be like him for so long, there are few things that can really touch the heart.
"I hadn't been able to follow him yet, so I couldn't follow him, so I can say that I ended up teaching on my own. β
"It was a really difficult time, the chaos had just subsided, everything was in ruins, and power had to be redistributed. β
"At that time, since the master was no longer there, and the senior brothers disappeared with him, our line is completely declining. β
"Although at the beginning, everyone would take care of and support me in the face of the master, but I can feel that it is difficult for me to gain a foothold in Confucianism alone, let alone rise again. β
"Relying on others to live is not our pursuit after all. β
"I feel ashamed of my master, and I have no shame that one day when he and his brothers return, he will hand over to them an equally prosperous master. β
"Therefore, not long after I left the school, although the Confucian Sect has never snubbed me, I still chose to come to this place alone and found Monkey King!"
"Staying away from strife in time, and at the same time, because of my departure, many competitors of Shizun's generation breathed a sigh of relief, and they generously donated money and gave me great support in my hard work. β
"Let's take what they need! They are less threatening, and I can be regarded as keeping the spark for our vein, waiting for the opportunity to rise again. β
Wu Yazi's words touched me deeply, I didn't expect that he, the titular Supreme Elder of Qi Tian Academy, was still the creator of the Academy, which was really beyond my expectations.
"I have the ambition of Qi Tian, but my ambition has never been relaxed! Master, my disciple misses you very much! I miss you very much...... I really want to ......," he sighed, tears already streaming down his face.
At this moment, he was no longer a monk with a crane hair and a childish face, but more like an ordinary old man in the world.
It seems that he has been holding these words in his heart for a long, long time, but there is still no one who can let him say them.
Therefore, it is inevitable that the real pain in the heart of the confession at this moment will be touched, showing a side that has never been shown.
At this moment, I even had a hint of delusion, whether Wu Yazi planned to accept me as an apprentice at the beginning, or the substitute teacher who later accepted the apprentice, was it because he was too lonely?
I don't believe that in the long history of Qitian Academy, there has never been a person who valued him so much.
Unfortunately, these can only be guesses, and there are no answers at all.
And I finally understood the true origin of the name of Qitian Academy from his mouth, and clearly felt that the young disciple who had the world in mind back then was depressed after the great changes in his master's sect.
If this is not the case, I believe that Wu Yazi will have another brilliant life that is completely different!
At the same time, I also felt a sigh at the origin of the name of Monkey King that was circulating in the outside world, and sure enough, many things were packaged and presented, and they were often as far away from the original truth.
In the current Qi Tian Academy, who would have thought that the invincible Supreme Elder in their eyes would be forced to go away and lie dormant here.
Can stretch and bend, what a big man!
However, I also understand that this information must not be leaked.
Any organization, a group, needs a core, a backbone, and a spiritual sustenance.
Maintaining the mysterious image of the Supreme Elder God is the cornerstone of Monkey King's stability and even further progress.
And now, if I can rise smoothly, I will undoubtedly continue this mystery, fill the hearts of the disciples of Qitian Academy with another fire, and let everyone see the opportunity for the academy to truly rise.
Just as Senior Brother Wuyazi, in the name of the Supreme Elder, declared my supreme potential to all the disciples of the academy in the Dharma decree.
Since he said it, then I naturally want to do it, and I have to do it better, which is beyond everyone's expectations, including his surprise!
After all, that's what I've been doing!
Stepping to the pinnacle of the Immortal Dao and becoming the strongest is the only goal I am determined to!
"The reason why I chose to establish Qitian Academy here is because it was from here that the master and the others entered the Great Wilderness!"
"I hope that one day when they come back, they will see the gift I have prepared for them. β
"Even if they have been absent for so many years, our vein has never been lonely!
Wu Yazi continued, a rare hint of excitement in his tone.
Obviously, this is his original intention!
"Senior brother, what happened back then, and I need to go to the old man to pacify it in person?" I asked.
In fact, when Wu Yazi said that Shizun entered the Great Wilderness from here, I already had a guess in my heart.
But I don't know much about it, but there are only traces of it in the past.
"Demon Emperor Rebellion!" he said, his eyes blank, as if he had returned to the past.
"At that time, I didn't know what was going on, and the barrier between our world and the demon world was suddenly opened. β
