It has been said that man is the most realistic race of all souls.

It has been said that the norms of human activity are actually derived from imagination.

In the opinion of some, these two statements are not contradictory. They believe that from a large sectarian family to a small individual cultivator, the most realistic support must exist in fantasy.

For example, if they are as powerful as the Eight Great Families of the Ancestral Continent, it is recognized that they cannot be stronger than the "Ten Most" sects. However, even the "Ten Most" sects have never shown the pride and complacency of being the first in the world, but they are working hard internally, and they are even better than the forces weaker than themselves.

If it is said that their strongest hostile force comes from the Hongmeng realm, it is very likely that through the actions of several generations or some chance, the hidden danger of survival will be eliminated. However, even if it is the two camps of good and evil, they have been fighting for tens of thousands of years, and they have won and lost each other, and they exist for each other.

The reason is very simple, within every powerful force, there is a common understanding that once the current strong enemy disappears, an even stronger enemy will inevitably appear. And this enemy can only exist in fantasy, in hypothesis. Thus there is a fundamental uncertainty. thus determines the tacit understanding of the "balance of power" in the Hongmeng world.

From this topmost "tacit understanding", layer by layer, it is imperceptibly subtly realized, thus forming an illusion that "balance" comes from nature. When it comes to a certain faction and family, it means that the strong are always strong and the weak are always weak; when it comes to individuals, they become noble and low.

For another example, from the time a person is selected by the Origin Sword Sect, whether or not he can become a disciple of each lineage is the most obvious watershed. Only by becoming a disciple can you have the opportunity to leap into the dragon gate, become a disciple of the lineage, and thus become a master. But what if not? The best outcome is nothing more than to break through to the True Yuan Realm and stay on Lingxiao Peak for a few more years. When he reached a certain age, he still couldn't escape the fate of being sent down the mountain by the sect.

It is foreseeable that from the moment the watershed began, most of the largest group of people gradually gave up in their hearts. The only motivation that can sustain them to continue their efforts has become the opportunity to cultivate the path that has been passed down from generation to generation—that kind of unfathomable illusory legend, what if one day, it happens to them?

It's just that reality will give them a resounding slap in the face and make them sober up at any time. Let them clearly realize that from the beginning of the watershed, their distance has not only not narrowed with that wave of people, but has been expanding infinitely.

In order to change this situation, the first thing is fairness, and the most important thing in fairness is the rational distribution of resources. Only by standing on the same starting line can the road ahead not be blocked. Otherwise, if a person who was originally on the fringe accidentally got a treasure of heaven and earth and had to worship others, then his chances would only become less and less.

In comparison, those who dare to break the rules, if they do not have the courage of "although tens of millions of people go to me", they can only sigh and succumb to the rules.

"Mother, is Hexuan back?"

Nangong Rongxuan sat up sickly, staring at the tent with dull eyes for a while. He let out a long yawn and got out of bed. Slowly walked to the table, gently picked up the teacup, and when he drank tea, his eyes looked out the window, and his eyes were shining. The dusk scene outside the window suddenly faded.

"Rong Xuan, your condition has just improved, don't worry about other things. lest you wear yourself out. Lingzhu Zhenren was carefully boiling the medicine, and when he saw his son get out of bed, his eyes were full of endless happiness, and after a pause, he continued: "Wuyan said that Hexuan returned to the mountain last night. ”

"Wu Yan hasn't sent a message today?" Nangong Rongxuan took a deep sip of tea, slowly turned around, and walked to

In front of the medicine stove.

"No!" Lingzhu Zhenren said casually, "The new official has taken office with three fires. Presumably, Hexuan has a lot of things to take care of today, and it is normal for Wuyan to temporarily replace you, and you can't get out of it for a while. ”

"In less than a month, Huang Ting and Lingxiao Erfeng will definitely be in charge of Hexuan. The sect will definitely become vibrant and full of vitality. Everyone has a clear goal to strive for. ”

Nangong Rongxuan slowly sat on the chair, sighed softly, and continued to drink tea. The sudden change in the topic, Lingzhu Zhenren didn't react for a while, and it took a long time before he looked at his son seriously. She suddenly noticed that her son's illness seemed to have suddenly cured, and his son's words seemed to have more meaning.

"Rong Xuan, why did you suddenly say this?"

"Fairness, only a level playing field can bring a lifeless sect back to life. Nangong Rongxuan said calmly, "I once warned Senior Brother openly and secretly, don't intrigue with Xiao Yan and dig into each other's corners to make stumbling blocks. Try to give everyone a relaxed and peaceful space to grow. But the two of them, for their own selfish interests, almost put the battle between the two veins on the surface. It made a mess of Huang Tingfeng. ”

"It's my dad's fault. I don't know, I was the one who hurt me in the end. Nangong Rongxuan suddenly became a little inexplicably angry.

"Since the death of the ancestor of the Kai Sect, the Yuan Shi Immortal, the battle between the twelve veins has never stopped. Even if it is Senior Brother Yuanyue and Senior Brother Puyu, when they first show their edge, they are not fighting to the death. Lingzhu Zhenren said helplessly, "Qin Hao's performance in Huang Tingfeng, although there is nothing outstanding, can be regarded as decent. As a junior brother, how can you accuse senior brother indiscriminately. "Zero-One Reading Network

"Wrong!" Nangong Rongxuan looked up at his mother, with endless perseverance in his eyes, and shook his head: "Mother, you only saw the past battles, but you didn't see why they fought. ”

"Oh!" Lingzhu Zhenren put down the fan in his hand, began to get serious, and said, "Why? Let my mother see my son's vision. ”

"Mother, you have neglected a fundamental problem - human ability. Nangong Rongxuan said seriously, "In the past, the twelve veins coexisted, stemming from the top talents of each vein, and there was no fundamental difference in personal ability. Coupled with the solid foundation laid by the ancestors of each lineage, everything is naturally Xiao Gui Cao followed. In short, Yuanyue and Pu Yu, the two masters, did not jump out of this circle.

However, Tsurugen is different. Even if it is the current Hexuan, how can it make the two masters of Yuanyue and Puyu jealous and guarded against, and how can it be comparable to Xiao Yan and Qin Hao? Needless to say that in the future or in the past, even if it is the recent expedition to southern Xinjiang, daring to lead Hongmeng leaders such as Xiaofo, Yun Yilan, Qi Taibai, and Chanjuan Shenni is enough to explain everything.

Tell the story with your own experience. From beginning to end, Hexuan has never enjoyed the special treatment of his own disciples, which determines his psychological foundation that will definitely change fundamentally. This is enough proof from the fact that he shares the spiritual porridge with the Xinghe Alliance at every turn.

Therefore, Hexuan must be ready to return to the sect at all times and give full play to his ambitions. As for success or failure, people like him don't care. He only cares, even if he is broken, he will smash the old rules that have been running for tens of thousands of years and open up a new world.

And Xiao, Qin and others think too highly of themselves, thinking that they have a respected teacher inside and a powerful family outside, and they have peace of mind. In fact, they can clearly see that the gap between them and Hexuan is no longer something that these factors can make up.

Up and down the sect, only Master Yuanyue has already seen it clearly. Therefore, his treacherous and cunning senior brother Ziang was idle, so that Zizhen and Zixuan could have more experience, so as to wait for a better time to push Senior Brother Ziang out. ”

Lingzhu Zhenren smiled softly and said, "My son has really grown, no wonder Uncle Shi values it so much." But these words of yours can still be said to your father. Could it be that you are also wary of your father? You even deliberately pretended to be sick and did not go with your father to go on the expedition!"

"Mother, I'll tell you the truth, I always feel that my father is not satisfied with the senior brother and the second senior brother. Similarly, Uncle Pu Yu may have the same idea about Xiao Yan, and the person he wants to really launch should be Xiaoying. Nangong Rongxuan pursed his lips and said in a deep voice: "This is called 'killing in thick black science'!"

"What nonsense!" Lingzhu Zhenren suddenly became angry and reproached: "Rong Xuan, you are still young, and you don't know how important the status of the first disciple is. If you look at the elder brother, no matter what time it is, the importance of the first disciple is never compared. If something happens to the first person, it will only lead to greater disputes. You don't understand such a simple truth?"

Lingzhu Zhenren said angrily: "Mother warns you, don't think about the big position." Otherwise, even if your ancestor comes forward, he won't be able to protect you. ”

"I ...... Just voice your own analysis and concerns...... I ......" Nangong Rongxuan suddenly smiled, jumped up and jumped around twice, and said, "Hexuan is back, and my illness is also cured." I know that his current alchemy realm has long surpassed me. I have to learn from Yi to control Yi, and go to him to learn some Dan Dao. ”

"You bear child, dare to fool your father. Lingzhu Zhenren lightly flicked Nangong Rongxuan's head and said, "Tell me honestly, why don't you go to Canghai?"

"My father and they will be defeated!Why should I join in that fun!" Nangong Rongxuan smiled mysteriously and said: "Mother, think about it, if you really want to talk about cultivation as strength, I don't know how long the land of Southern Xinjiang can be sealed, and I have to wait until Hexuan's birth to unlock the seal?

Therefore, the person who can solve the mystery of the sea must still be Hexuan. ”

"How can you see it?" Lingzhu Zhenren frowned, as if he was a little touched.

Nangong Rongxuan said: "Almost everyone has neglected one thing. When Hexuan first broke into southern Xinjiang, he sent Pang Si back to the family as soon as possible. ”

"What's so strange about this!" Lingzhu Zhenren shook his head in denial, and said, "Hexuan is acting according to common sense. Or, he thinks that the potential of that snake youth has peaked and has lost the value of continuing to cultivate. Find an excuse to break him off. ”

"When the Hexuan branch hall was in trouble, why did you leave the 'beast hall' for Pang Si?" Nangong Rongxuan grinned and said, "Mother, think about it, where did the legend of their snake clan originate?"

"Hmm!" Lingzhu Zhenren suddenly realized, and said: "Among the many legends, the legend of Canghai seems to be more real and reliable!"

"That's right. He Xuan sent him back, which must have been an extremely important chess piece for the expedition to the sea. It can be said that it is a chess piece that determines success or failure. Nangong Rongxuan sighed and said, "Until now, there are still people who despise Hexuan so much, it's really ...... Therefore, every step of Hexuan seems to be careless, but it is actually beyond the imagination of many people. When everyone sees the truth, it is already a boat. If so, who will be able to go ahead of him?"

"And when did you start paying so much attention to him?"

"Hongmeng Dan Meeting!" Nangong Rongxuan said thoughtfully, "I was impressed by his indifferent attitude. From that moment on, I concluded that he was not a man who lived to carry a blood feud. His future will be different. And among his peers, absolutely no one can be his opponent. ”

There was a sudden silence in the room. After a long time, there was a sound of soft footsteps outside the door.
