After Master Tan Yuan passed away and returned to the ruins, it was Master Tan Yuan who was buried by Chu Xiu and others.

Generally speaking, for the warriors of the Great Light Temple, they are accustomed to leaving relics after their death, not only to be worshiped by future generations, but also to integrate their own strength into the relics, and to do their last bit of strength for the disciples of future generations.

Tan Yuan has no disciples, although Chu Xiu and Fang Qishao have taken Master Tan Yuan's exercises, they are only regarded as teaching, not preaching, so Master Tan Yuan did not leave relics or anything, but directly dispersed the power of this body and returned to the ruins between heaven and earth.

After Long Tianying completed the burial sadly, he arched his hand to Chu Xiu and Fang Qishao: "Fang Shaoxia, Chu Gongzi, I have completed the task of sending the master home, and then I will go back to the East China Sea, the two of you will say goodbye." ”

Chu Xiu nodded and said, "President Long will walk slowly, if there is a need to use my Chu Xiu in the future, even if you can help, I will definitely not refuse." ”

Long Tianying is a person who attaches great importance to affection, which Chu Xiu can see.

Of course, Chu Xiu wanted to befriend Long Tianying not only because he valued affection, but because Long Tianying was capable and might be able to use it in the future.

Although the Whale Heaven Society is far away, it also has to trade with the Central Plains, not to mention its strength, but its financial resources are really not weak.

Long Tianying thanked Chu Xiu and left directly, his sense of Chu Xiu was good, at least Chu Xiu didn't turn his face and deny people after getting the inheritance power, but he was not as unbearable as in the legends of the rivers and lakes.

But even so, Long Tianying would only be friendly with Chu Xiu, and would not do anything for free like helping Master Tan Yuan.

Chu Xiu is only the successor of Master Tan Yuan's exercises, not a disciple of Master Tan Yuan, so as soon as Master Tan Yuan dies, the old kindness will naturally come to an end, and it will be impossible to pass it on to Chu Xiu again.

After Long Tianying left, looking at the tomb of Master Tan Yuan in front of him, Fang Qishao suddenly sighed, and said with a rare and serious expression: "Brother Chu, what do you say this person is living for? I always feel that Master Tan Yuan has suffered a little bit in his life.

It is not a problem for a powerhouse of the True Fire Refining God Realm to live for more than 400 years, but now that Master Tan Yuan is only over 100 years old, he has already entered the earth, is it worth exchanging his life span of more than 300 years for those lives? If he does not die, maybe he can save more people. ”

Chu Xiu looked ahead, squinted his eyes and said, "Sometimes the account is not calculated like this, and there is a thought in your heart to achieve something." 10,000 years is too long, and some people would rather seize the day.

For Master Tan Yuan, he has no regrets about what he has done in the past hundred years, it is worth it, you ask people what they are living for, everyone's answer is different, but if you die without regrets, it is worth it.

What about you? Do you want to figure out what you're living for in this life?"

Fang Qishao was stunned by Chu Xiu's question, he looked at the sword in his hand, his eyes didn't blink, he was usually talkative, but he was silent for a long time at this time.

It wasn't until half a quarter of an hour later that Fang Qishao said faintly: "What are you living for?

Do you feel like I'm talking a lot?"

Chu Xiu didn't speak, Fang Qishao didn't talk a lot, but a lot.

However, Fang Qishao didn't wait for Chu Xiu to answer, he continued: "I say so many things every day, and even make the senior brothers in Sword King City impatient, that's because I'm afraid, afraid that one day I will die, and I won't be able to say so many words."

In fact, when I was young, I was very miserable, so miserable that I almost lost the opportunity to speak.

You know that place in the Western Regions, big countries are fighting, small countries are fighting, and there are horse bandits and robbers everywhere.

When I was five years old, my village was slaughtered by robbers, and I escaped by hiding in a water tank.

Then the robbers left, and I still did not dare to come out of the water tank, until three days later, when I was so hungry that I could not stand it, that I crawled out, but there was no one in the whole village who could speak.

It was the first time I was so close to death, so since then, I don't like darkness, I don't like silence, as long as I can bask in the sun every day and live, in fact, I am already content. ”

Chu Xiu looked at Fang Qishao with a surprised gaze, if Fang Qishao hadn't said these secrets himself, it was estimated that few people in the entire rivers and lakes would know that his background was so miserable, and Fang Qishao's requirements were also so low.

Most of the martial artists in the rivers and lakes were vying for fame and fortune, but since Chu Xiu saw Fang Qishao, he really didn't pay much attention to such things as fame and fortune.

And now Chu Xiu knows that it's not that Fang Qishao doesn't value fame and fortune, but in his heart, nothing is more important than being alive.

Only those who have experienced death know the preciousness of life, and in the great horror between life and death, some things are not so important.

There was no sadness in Fang Qishao's tone when he said these things, as if he was just telling a simple story.

After finishing speaking, Fang Qishao smiled at Chu Xiu and said, "Brother Chu, just now you asked me this, but I told you all my privacy, what about you, what are you living for in this life?"

After pondering for a moment, Chu Xiu suddenly said, "If someone told you from the beginning that your fate was already predestined, would you accept your fate or resist?"

Fang Qishao was stunned and said: "What are you kidding? nothing in this world is predestined from the beginning, if fate really can't be changed, then why are the masters of the Daomen and the Buddhist Sect who study the way of heavenly divination still studying them? Anyway, if you have to die, then follow the destiny of heaven."

Even those of us martial artists, if everything is really predestined, then what else is there to cultivate? Find a fortune teller to calculate a hexagram for yourself, if you have nothing to do in the future, then no matter how much you cultivate, it will be a waste of time. ”

Chu Xiu said softly: "Yes, nothing in this world is destined from the beginning, the saying that people will win the sky is very cliché, although no one shouts it, but everyone is still doing it."

When you ask me what I live for in this life, even I can't tell myself, I just want not to be imprisoned by fate, and by the way, I just want to stand on the top of that peak and see the scenery below. ”

Fang Qishao raised his eyebrows and said, "How high is the peak?"

Chu Xiu stared at Fang Qishao and said in a deep voice: "Very high, very high, so high that no one can stand taller than me!"

Fang Qishao was also staring at Chu Xiu, he finally discovered that he and Chu Xiu were really two different people, his ambition was greater than others imagined!

However, at this moment, Fang Qishao showed a hint of a smile, breaking the solemn atmosphere, and said with a smile: "Brother Chu, the higher you stand, the worse you fall, you have to think about this." ”

Chu Xiu said lightly: "It's not terrible to fall from the peak, but the terrible thing is that you don't even have the qualifications to stand at the peak and fall." ”

Fang Qishao shrugged his shoulders, although he had more words than Chu Xiu, but it was a pity that he didn't know how to take Chu Xiu's words now.

"By the way, Brother Chu, after burying Master Tan Yuan, are you going to go back to the Guanzhong Torture Hall?" Fang Qishao asked from a different point of view.

Chu Xiu shook his head and said, "The Guanzhong Torture Hall is okay for the time being, I have already come out, and I am not in a hurry to go back at this time."

I'm going to go to the land of Western Chu to see a friend, and then go back to the Guanzhong Torture Hall. ”

The plan to go to Western Chu was considered by Chu Xiu on the way here, and in short, he went to Western Chu for Lu Fengxian.

However, Chu Xiu went to find Lu Fengxian at this time, not just to catch up with Lu Fengxian, but to help Lu Fengxian get the inheritance of the ancient demon god Lu Wenhou!

In the original plot, the place where Lu Fengxian got the inheritance was in Xichu, around this time period.

And now, despite Chu Xiu's interference, Lu Fengxian has still returned to Western Chu, but whether he will come is still a variable.

Therefore, Chu Xiu, who was still saying that people will win the sky or something, is hope at this time, and the future has not changed.

Of course, even if it changes, it's not a big deal, with the power that Chu Xiu can control now, in his previous life, Lu Fengxian was able to win the inheritance of Lu Wenhou by himself, and now with Chu Xiu's help, the chance is undoubtedly greater.

Those big names who are famous all over the world in later generations, they either climbed up step by step, or they got some kind of opportunity, and they soared directly into the sky and turned into dragons.

Lu Fengxian's opportunity to turn into a dragon is on this inheritance of Lu Wenhou, of course, even if Lu Fengxian does not have this inheritance, his strength is not weak, and he can compete with the disciples of those big factions.

It's just that the exercise is an innate factor, and the later it gets, the bigger the gap will be, and if Lu Fengxian can get the inheritance of Lu Wenhou, then this gap will be completely flattened.

There are very few people who use Fang Tian's painting halberd as a weapon on the rivers and lakes, and even fewer can use Fang Tian's painting halberd to the transformation realm, it can be said that Lu Wenhou's inheritance is basically prepared for Lu Fengxian, and even if others get it, they can't give full play to its role.

When Fang Qishao heard Chu Xiu say this, he suddenly smiled and said, "Brother Chu, how about I go with you?" You go to Western Chu to meet your friends, and I will also go to Western Chu to visit the opening festival of the Dong family in Gaoling, and join in the fun. ”

Chu Xiu's eyes were strange when he heard this, the inheritance of Lu Wenhou was discovered in the opening of the mountain sacrifice.

The so-called mountain opening festival is a tradition of some forces close to 100,000 mountains in the land of Western Chu.

Most of the land of Western Chu is surrounded by wilderness and dense forests, so some sects or families living in the mountains will organize people to open up mountains and forests every once in a while to develop that part of the dense forests.

In the wild land of the 100,000 mountains of Western Chu, there may be some crisis in opening up mountains and forests, fierce beasts and evil worship, and even some unexpected things, which is not accurate, so every family will hold a sacrificial ceremony before opening mountains and forests, commonly known as opening mountain sacrifices, which can be regarded as a feature of Western Chu.
