"Teacher, now there are wars everywhere in the capitals of southern Zhili. The Honghu and Zhenfu troops have joined forces to kill Chishe. We have suffered heavy losses."

"Now the Huangliang Ghost Rebellion breaks out in Jinling City, the traitors from the powerful families are working as a help, the remnants of the law are adding insult to injury, internal and external troubles are arising, and it has reached a critical moment when troops are approaching the city."

Although he was extremely reluctant to admit it, Pei Xingjian still sighed helplessly: "The trend of vertical and horizontal has been established, and I'm afraid it can no longer be undone."

"Forget it if it can't be undone. It's time for this turmoil to come to an end."

The old man's gentle voice sounded behind him, but Pei Xingjian chose to turn his back to the open door, unwilling to look back. His face was full of trouble and uneasiness, and his hands were grabbing at his messy gray hair.

"Xingjian, you shouldn't be someone who can't let go."

The voice was faint, with a faint smile.

"If it is me, Pei Xingjian, who loses now, then I will have no problem with it. Even if someone chops off my head, I will still remain calm."

Pei Xingjian turned around suddenly, his blood-stained robe swinging in the wind.

He looked into the dimly lit room, his eyes widened, and looked directly into the tired eyes in the room.

"But I can't accept the fact that these clowns dare to make trouble in front of you, teacher."

Pei Xingjian clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "We have wasted too much time and opportunities. We should have uprooted them all in one go!"

"But if I hadn't made so many mistakes, maybe you would have disowned me as a teacher."

Heavy footsteps sounded in the thick darkness, and there was a long gap between each step. It seemed that even this short distance of one or two feet was extremely difficult for the people in the door.

Having lost the protection of his position, time no longer holds its hand, like an extremely sharp razor that cuts away the flesh and blood from the old man's body, leaving behind an empty, shriveled skin hanging on the skeleton, as if a gust of wind can blow him away. Walk.

In the past few months, Pei Xingjian has been leading Chishe in external operations. Now that the master and apprentice meet again, he never expected that his teacher would age to this extent.

However, after taking a few steps out of the room, Pei Xingjian was frightened and filled with confusion and unspeakable bitterness at this moment.

"teacher"

"You have lived a long time, why are you still so unkempt? If the juniors see this, I don't know how they will secretly tease you, an old man who is a Confucian scholar."

Zhang Fengyue looked up at Pei Xingjian and joked with a smile.

The tall and majestic Academy Master who I once remembered is now stooped less than his own shoulders.

Pei Xingjian's throat rolled, he swallowed a mouthful of bitterness that stung his nose, and pretended to be fierce: "Who dares to laugh at me, let's see if I don't skin him!"

Although he said this, Pei Xingjian began to tidy up his appearance, casually broke off a dead branch from his side, and tied up his gray hair.

Even though he is over sixty years old, in front of Zhang Fengyue, Pei Xingjian still seems to be the most tough-talking thorn in the academy.

"Thank you for your hard work these past few years."

Pei Xingjian grinned and said, "This is the first time I've heard you say this. I'm happy to hear it. How about you say a few more words?"

"You brat, you are so courageous now. You actually dare to talk to me like this. Do you think I can't deal with you with only one breath left? Your level of etiquette is not enough in my eyes! "

The trembling hand slapped on the arm, and there was almost no feeling at all.

Pei Xingjian cried out in pain exaggeratedly, covering his arms and retreating.

Amid Zhang Fengyue's laughter, he raised his eyes and saw the old man standing under the unknown dead tree in the courtyard.

When people and trees look at each other, it's hard to tell who is a person and who is a dead tree.

"There are really more and more sequences now, and they are getting weaker and weaker. After all, I am also a dignified Confucian scholar, but it is really ridiculous that I can be dazzled sometimes."

Pei Xingjian raised his hand to wipe the corners of his eyes and muttered in a low voice.

"Okay, if you really want to cry in mourning, you have to wait until the day I close my eyes. If you, Pei Xingjian, don't cry the loudest by then, I won't be able to spare you."

Zhang Fengyue rolled his eyelids and laughed angrily.

"Over the years, Zhang Siyuan always likes to talk about me no matter what happens, complaining that I keep everything in my heart and don't say anything. He always leaves people around him to guess, so there is a misunderstanding of saying so much."

The old man leaned on the tree trunk and said slowly: "Liu Jinxun is like this, and Li Bufeng is probably like this too. It's really a pity that I couldn't meet him in the end. But he should have a lot of things to say to me." Let’s talk? So how about we have a good chat today?”

Pei Xingjian's lips twitched, but he couldn't utter a word for a long time.

"Don't know where to start? That's right. I never taught you this class. Instead, you have been teaching me."

"teacher"

Pei Xingjian finally spoke: "There is no need to say anything more. You must leave Jinling immediately. Zhu Yiyan has been hiding for so long and now he suddenly takes action. He must be fully prepared. There is no need for you to persist any longer, whether it is to offend the people or not." It doesn’t matter whether it’s a district or a barbaric area, as long as you can leave the empire.”

"If I escape now, what will they do?"

Pei Xingjian looked stunned and said anxiously: "Are you worried about Yizheng? Don't worry, even if I risk my life, I will definitely protect his Zhou Quan and send him to join you as soon as possible."

"If Siyuan heard what you said, he would probably turn against you on the spot. I shouldn't have let him go to the foreign land in the first place. Now he has only one brain left, and he is afraid that he will die slower than me, the father."

"You have all thrown away the essence of Confucianism, and you want me, an old man, to send you off first. No one has thought of leaving me behind alone, how can I catch up with you when the time comes?"

I don't know if it's an illusion, in a trance, Pei Xingjian felt that the old man's scolding was getting louder.

"I'm not asking what I should do, nor what you should do. I'm asking those who have sacrificed their lives for this new policy, what should they do?"

Zhang Fengyue stood up, his skinny body supported the black robe, standing like a flag in Pei Xingjian's eyes.

"Confucians do not believe in gods and ghosts, but the truth is in their hearts. I have lived for too long and have encountered too many choices. I have chosen the seemingly bright road to the sky, and I have also chosen the narrow and tortuous road full of thorns. I have given up because of my inferior skills, and I have turned my head back because of regret."

"There are many obstacles, and it is difficult to take a step. I have made the wrong choice all my life, and I have lost my life. Now is the last time I have to wade through the obstacles in my life. No matter what the result is, I can't give up again."

Zhang Fengyue said in a deep voice: "Xingjian, among all the students of Xindonglin Academy, you are the smartest one I have ever seen. You actually understand my thoughts in your heart, so why bother to persuade me?"

"What a bad-tempered and stubborn old man."

Pei Xingjian smiled helplessly, shook his head and sighed, "But there is no way, who made you my teacher? Heaven, earth, emperor, parents, and teacher, I, Pei Xingjian, can only see this last word in my eyes."

The afterglow in the distant sky will dissipate, and the night will come with the turmoil.

Many Confucian scholars wearing red robes were waiting outside the door, and Yang Baize was among them.

Only Zhang Siyuan was missing.

Pei Xingjian, who was turning to leave, suddenly paused, looked at the gradually rising fire in the city, and asked loudly.

"Teacher, how do you think people will look at us in the future?

"Love me or hate me, it's up to you."

The old man waved his sleeves with a heroic look.

The Liaodong snowfield, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow.

"I didn't expect it would be you who came."

Chen Qisheng clasped his hands in front of his chest, stepped on the sword in the air, and cast his arrogant eyes on Shi Qing casually.

"Do you think you can stop me, the Taoist master, with this group of trash?"

"Of course I don't dare to have such a luxury."

Shi Qing bowed to the sky and said humbly: "You are now the well-deserved source of the Taoist order. How could these hundreds of demon cultivators be your opponents? Your Majesty took great pains to gather them together, just to give them as a gift to the Taoist priest. "

It's called a 'gift', but waves of malicious intent seem to be real and fluctuating behind Shi Qing, and the agitated divine thoughts gather like waves, which actually disperse the falling snow within a radius of ten miles.

At this moment, the remnants of the new Taoist order are like a group of vicious dogs on ropes, baring their teeth and claws under Shi Qing's command, waiting for an order to rush up and bite without fear of death, tearing Chen Qisheng, who destroyed everything in their past, into pieces.

"I know that you, Taoist priest, are a man who values ​​friendship and will never choose to betray Li Gejun, so don't worry, I am not here to alienate the friendship between you and Li Gejun this time."

"All along, your majesty has only wanted to deal with Zhang Fengyue, and has never thought of making an enemy of you, let alone any actions to persecute the old Taoist order. The previous frictions were actually insignificant misunderstandings. ”

Facing the terrifying azure image above his head, Shi Qing looked calm and spoke eloquently: "So this time I came here, I just want to talk to you about the future of Daoxu."

"Zhang Fengyue wants to cut off the sequence. It seems to be righteous, but in fact it is just selfish. He wants to establish a Confucian Dynasty where only his Zhang family bloodline can form the sequence. Li Gejun is upright in nature. It is really a pity that he was deceived and deceived by the Zhang family father and son. But you are different."

Shi Qing said solemnly: "Li Gejun can do whatever he wants, because the Duxing Wuxu was created by him. Even if he loses it, he will not be ashamed of anyone, but you have a much heavier responsibility than him."

"Now that the new school of Daoxu has been defeated, it is a great time to revive the old school of Daoxu. If you still want to tie yourself up with friendship and continue to help the evil, then when the Zhang family is successful, how will you deal with it? "

"If the Zhang family wants to establish a divine dynasty, they will not let go of any threat, so the new Taoist order must also be within their scope of liquidation. Even if you can escape the empire at that time, how will you face the Wudang heroes who sacrificed themselves for you? How to fulfill their long-cherished wish to rebuild Wudang?"

"Before the sequence, Wudang was there. After the sequence, Wudang will also be there. "

Chen Qisheng had a blank expression and was not moved at all.

"Well said!"

Shi Qing laughed loudly: "You are worthy of being the last pure Taoist seed in the world. But I still want to remind you that the purpose of practicing Taoism has never been to worship immortals, but to become immortals yourself! You can give up this transcendental sequence power. Is the Dharma image behind you willing? Are future Taoist believers willing?"

Shi Qing, who asked questions one after another, changed his voice: "Your Majesty does not want to embarrass you, so I don’t ask much today. I just hope that you can wait and see what happens and wait here for everything to settle down. "

"If you agree, these demon cultivators will immediately commit suicide to apologize, and we will help you completely eradicate all the remnants of the new sect in the empire. In addition, His Majesty is willing to give you two provinces as the foundation of the old sect's Taoist order to help you advance to the second order."

"Such generous conditions, only in exchange for your inaction this time, His Majesty is sincere."

Shi Qing's voice suddenly trembled for no reason, and at this moment, countless blue figures gathered around many new sect demon cultivators out of thin air, and fist shadows fell, instantly startling screams and wails.

"Hey, why do you have to be so loyal to Li Jun?"

Shi Qing seemed to have expected such a scene, sighing to himself, not caring about the demon cultivators being slaughtered behind him.

"In fact, I have long advised His Majesty that a Taoist child like you who has no father or mother is destined to be incomplete from the moment of birth, and does not understand what it means to live for yourself. You will be blind and stupid all your life. If you get a little kindness from others, you will return it to others regardless of everything. There is no need to win them over at all."

Zheng!

The huge sword shadow fell from the sky, and the pouring true energy exploded with rolling wind and snow.

Shi Qing stood still, ignoring the fallen Dharma sword shadow, his eyes slightly closed, looking straight at the angry eyes behind him.

"To deal with an existence like you that cannot be considered a 'human', there is only one way, that is to kill you."

Ding!

A blurry figure with an unclear face appeared above Shi Qing's head, with five fingers raised, catching the Dharma giant sword falling from the sky with one hand.

Chen Qisheng frowned, he clearly saw countless black light spots floating on the bodies of those dead Daoxu demon cultivators, and then instantly condensed into human form, blocking his attack.

This scene is so familiar, it is clearly Zhang Xiji's fanatic method!

"Pervasive, omnipresent, and all-purpose, this is the real vertical and horizontal sequence. Including all the technical methods and positions of the new school of Taoism, they are no secrets to us."

Shi Qing changed his previous humility and showed pride in his expression.

Behind him, every dead new school of Taoism was like an open door, with countless fanatic lights swarming out, instantly dispersing the Zhenwu heroic spirits that rushed around, and continuously merging into the illusory figure floating in the air.

The figure quickly solidified, with white hair and black clothes, and cold eyebrows and eyes. It was the dead new school of Taoism, the second 'position and industry lord', Zhang Xiji!

"You must feel very sorry for not being able to kill Zhang Xiji with your own hands. He should also die with regrets for not being able to eradicate your old sect's Dao order. So today I will fulfill your wish."

Shi Qing chuckled and said, "I just don't know if you have the ability to kill all these fanatics I carefully prepared before you die."

Boom!

The furious tide of divine thoughts roared up and smashed the giant sword of Dharma.

Zhang Xiji spread his arms, and countless Huangliang seals appeared from the black tide of fanatics and blasted into the sky!

"Chen Qisheng, you can't escape your fate!"
