The villain wants to brush the favorability

Seeing Qinghe's "sincere" attitude, Reverend Daoxuan snorted a few times in a sense of comfort, and said leisurely: "Well, it's okay to tell you a story from hundreds of years ago...but you've always been clever, Why don't you guess first, what is the relationship between being a teacher and Venerable Mo?"

Qing He's face was almost distorted when he heard it: Daoxuan, you old and disrespectful guy, why are you talking so ambiguously... What does this seat have to do with you, why don't I even know it myself? !Resisting the urge to twitch the corners of his mouth, Qing He pondered and said: "Master, you are the head of the No. [-] sect of the Righteous Way. Of course, you are an old enemy with the No. [-] Venerable of the Demon Dao. Otherwise, what else could it be?"

"It's really pedantic!" Daoxuan scolded lightly, his eyebrows were raised up, "How can the relationship between people be so simple and brutally divided by the two ways of righteousness and evil? My teacher has never taught you that way. , where did you learn this narrow thinking?!"

"If you're not old enemies, could it be that you can still be friends?" Qing He was taken aback, and blurted out asking, feeling more and more unbelievable in his heart - almost all righteous sects have a precept of "do not make friends with treacherous evil spirits or associate with demons". , Xuanji Sect is no exception.Because of this, Qinghe has been cautious for more than 20 years, for fear of showing his flaws and being "eliminated demons and defending the way" by his dear master. Unexpectedly, he is now denounced as pedantic and narrow-minded by Daoxuan...

Crying and laughing is not enough to describe Qinghe's complicated mood at this time. If he is really a pedantic person, how could he gradually treat Daoxuan as a relative in the day-to-day relationship?Obviously, he himself is a person who doesn't care about the differences between righteousness and evil.The problem now is that Qinghe really doesn't remember that he had friendship with Daoxuan... Obviously his memory has always been very good, what is going on?

"You're finally right, my teacher and Venerable Mo are old friends!" Facing his lover's puzzled eyes, Master Daoxuan laughed, and said this freely enough to make the cultivators of both the righteous and the devil feel confused. Jaw-dropping "facts".

Seeing that Qinghe's expression became more and more weird, Master Daoxuan stopped whetting his appetite, and he continued in a very sentimental tone: "Old friends who haven't seen each other for hundreds of years... I think we met at the Heroes Conference back then. When I was a teacher, I was just an ordinary inner disciple of my sect, and my cultivation and strength were not as good as you are now."

"Heroic Conference?!" Qinghe's eyelids twitched, and while digging for memories from the depths of his mind, he stared at Daoxuan's face... From this face that he had seen for more than 20 years and was already very familiar, he seemed to really capture To some distant and vague memories.

——Once a cultivator succeeds in building a foundation, they will hardly age unless they have reached the maximum lifespan of their cultivation and are still unable to advance and fall into the predicament of the five declines of heaven and man; but even so, their temperament and appearance are still the same. It will continue to change due to the growth of experience; more importantly, unlike people in the magic way who are accustomed to maintaining a youthful appearance, many monks in the orthodox way, especially the heads and elders of various sects, tend to prefer middle-aged people. The appearance of the person even had to be deliberately modified to look old, because that would better show the majesty and aura of virtuous and respected... Reverend Daoxuan is obviously a typical representative, so Qinghe can't recognize this person who has had a relationship with him before. It is understandable to meet "passers-by" a little bit: the "old friend" is clearly saying that his dear master is acting affectionate, right?

Reverend Daoxuan nodded with a smile and said: "In a short time, your boy will also be going to participate in the Zhengdao Yingjie Exchange Conference. At that time, you will learn from your teacher and make more new friends." He couldn't help sighing, "But now The exchange meeting is just a small fight, and it is not easy to make friends who have died in it..."

Qinghe was silent, at this moment, he finally retrieved a memory that had been washed away by time through Daoxuan's reminder—or in other words, it was some past events that he deliberately forgot.

Reverend Daoxuan didn't notice the complicated state of mind of his lover, because he himself was caught in the distant memory, and his tone became vicissitudes involuntarily, "The heroic conference we participated in back then was very different from the current exchange conference. It is not an exaggeration to say that there is a world of difference. Since you have also reached this age and are about to enter a wider world, it is always good to know more things, let me listen to the teacher slowly tell you..."

Laguo Qinghe sat with him on the spacious high seat of the head of the sect, and Master Daoxuan slowly told the past in the tone of an old father telling a story to his youngest son—"The Righteous Heroes Conference hundreds of years ago and the Supreme Demon Dao The conference is also known as the two grand events in the cultivation world, but they are both dangerous and cruel, and the participants are basically close to death, but those who survive will also get extremely rich rewards, and they will soar into the sky from then on..."

The voice full of nostalgia and emotion echoed in the hall, and the master and apprentice sat side by side talking and listening, as if they had returned to the glorious years together.

It is said that hundreds of years ago, the differences and contradictions between the righteous and the demonic in the cultivation world were far more serious than they are now. The righteous and demonic monks almost fought every three years and every five years. Countless masters have fallen: It has long been impossible to verify how the good and evil sides turned against each other in the first place, maybe it was just because of a trivial incident; the trouble became bigger and bigger, and the initial small grievances continued to accumulate into big hatred , Most of the cultivators are so red-eyed that they can't stop even if they want to.

Under such circumstances, the great figures of the righteous and evil ways became ruthless, and decided to accumulate manpower to fight against the enemy in a way of boosting seedlings, so the Righteous Heroes Conference and the Devil's Supreme Conference came into being—the two conferences come down to their roots. After all, it is just to solve a problem: under what circumstances can low-level monks grow up as quickly as possible and be independent?The answer is simple, it is to let them go through the trials of life and death, fight and kill, and go through the cruel selection like a big wave of gold panning, and those who survive in the end will naturally become strong.

"The Heroes Conference held every 20 years, the rule at that time was that each sect had to send a certain number of disciples of the Foundation Establishment Stage to participate..." Speaking of this, Master Daoxuan's expression was very complicated, "At that time, we all The Hero Conference is called the "Death Conference", and the people who will be selected to participate are almost all outcasts from various factions. For example, if the situation is still like this, the teacher will never let you participate in the conference. Besides, the owner of Tianlinggen is a treasure, and no sect would be willing to throw a few true disciples of Tianlinggen to die."

Reverend Daoxuan was filled with emotions, but he didn't know that Qinghe's mood was even more complicated. He tried his best not to show his flaws, the root of his teeth were slightly numb from biting, and he listened to his dear master's narration with a blank expression——

"My teacher is the mixed spirit root of the three elements of gold, wood and fire. I was ranked among the last twenty in the current inner sect competition of my sect, so I was sent to the 'Death Conference'. At that time, I really My heart is dead, I almost won't be able to come back... In fact, if I hadn't met Venerable Mo, formed a team with him to practice together, and was rescued by him several times, I really wouldn't be able to come back I can't be your master anymore."

Reverend Daoxuan said happily, "Out of the twenty participants in that class, only two came back, and they were me and Daozhen!"

提起道真，道玄转而挂上了一脸鄙视的神情，“不过道真当时被分在了另一组，他还被莫尊者揍趴过，所以他一直记仇至今，还总爱跟我作对...Hmph, Daozhen is revenge!" He said angrily: "According to the rules of the conference, as long as different groups are enemies, even members of the same sect must fight each other. It's a shame Daozhen met us, if it wasn't for me Duo Zui pleaded for him, he was killed by Venerable Mo long ago, how could he have the life to fight against me for hundreds of years?!"

"So that's it. It seems that Master's old friend is not Venerable Mo, but Mo Chengyuan, a disciple of Condensing Light Sect." Qing He continued in a calm tone.

Reverend Daoxuan was taken aback for a moment, and then he was slightly surprised: "Your reaction is so fast!" He nodded repeatedly, and sighed: "Coincidentally, he also said to me in this faint tone back then, 'I am condensed. Guangzong disciple Mo Chengyuan'...even though hundreds of years have passed, the scene of seeing him for the first time is still fresh in my memory."

Qinghe's heart trembled slightly, he lowered his head and closed his eyes and stopped talking.Reverend Daoxuan was aroused instead, he smiled generously and said, "Thinking about it now, the world is really wonderful, we were just abandoned children of our respective sects at that time, but now? I became the head of the Xuanji Sect People, and he is even more ruthless...he directly wiped out the Ningguangzong, haha!"

Reverend Daoxuan laughed for a while, then became serious again, patted the back of his lover's hand and said in a deep voice: "Qinghe, this is the principle of retaliation for retaliation, you should also learn from it...Look, Those of us who survived the "death meeting" back then have become well-known figures now, but what about the owners of the Tianlinggen who were regarded as treasures by the sect? Hmph, and later died in the battle between righteousness and evil. Few are left alive!"

"—So, no matter how talented you are, you can't be complacent. You can only go further if you can stand the test."

Facing Master Daoxuan's expectant eyes, Qing He solemnly responded: "I am a disciple, and I will never take it lightly."

Recalling the events of the Heroes Conference hundreds of years later, unlike Daoxuan Daoxuan who is both sentimental and elated, Qinghe’s feelings are more complicated and heavy—because the Heroes Conference was just the ups and downs before he seized his home The most important turning point in his life, so much so that after passing through that catastrophe, Rao Yi Mo Chengyuan was unwilling to think about those bitter past events with his tenacious mind. From this, one can imagine the ups and downs of his current mood, It is something that outsiders cannot understand.

"Generally speaking, the Heroic Conference can be regarded as the creation of teachers, Venerable Mo, and many influential figures in the cultivation world, but its existence is indeed unreasonable."

After reaching this conclusion, Master Daoxuan frowned, and slowly explained: "It is precisely because the Righteous Dao Heroes Conference and Demonic Dao Supreme Conference hundreds of years ago were too cruel, which ultimately caused many unpredictable events. The serious consequences of this have had an extremely bad impact on the entire comprehension world... Therefore, up to now, the Heroic Conference has become an exchange meeting for outstanding disciples of the righteous way, and the Supreme Conference has also been transformed into a gathering of leaders of the demonic way. Both parties have completely abandoned their wrong past, and even if there are still conflicts between them, the two sides will no longer hold such a conference to destroy their foundation."

Qinghe nodded in agreement. The Heroic Conferences in those years had indeed brought serious consequences to the righteous factions, making the internal atmosphere of each faction extremely dignified. The high-level cultivator died in vain, and lost the opportunity to grow up forever...

However, judging from Qinghe's current experience, in fact, the original purpose of the heroic meeting held by those big figures back then was indeed achieved: they gathered the "abandoned children" of each sect together, and promoted them in a way similar to raising Gu. They improved their strength, and finally eliminated the lagging members of each sect—those people either became strong, or died cleanly. It can be seen that the effect of the Yingjie Conference on "waste utilization" is really remarkable, so at that time There are also many people who support the continuation of this "Gu Raising Conference".

——What really prompted the big figures of the righteous and the evil ways to stop the "Gu Raising Conference" was actually a phenomenon that left both sides speechless: most of the survivors of the righteous heroes' conference fell into the devil's way, and the demon's Supreme Conference There are also quite a few winners who "change from evil to good"... Of course, this kind of nonsense conference cannot continue!

"But then again, those who come back alive from the Heroes Conference will be much better than others," Daoxuan shook his head, and said triumphantly: "Qinghe, you don't know, in fact, that guy Daoling He is the owner of the gold-type Tianlinggen. He once beat me like a dog in the Inner Sect Grand Competition, forcing me to participate in the "Death Conference"...but when I came back, I could beat me with one hand Lay him down, hahaha!"

No wonder Dao Ling and Dao Xuan were always at odds. In fact, Dao Ling was also worried that he would be "settled after autumn" by the head of the sect.Thinking of this, Qing He couldn't help secretly slandering: Although the Heroic Conference was very training, Daoxuan clearly only grew his strength but not his brains - he was still the grumpy idiot back then!

Qinghe finally matched Daoxuan with a blurry figure in his memory, but he had completely forgotten Daoxuan's original name, and only remembered that that person was the most impulsive boy in their team, and he secretly made a fool of him. An idiot who has never noticed it many times—unexpectedly, the master who raised him for more than 20 years is actually that idiot back then, and his image is completely shattered!

Thinking about it, this is also a wonderful cycle of karma. In the past, Mo Chengyuan saved Daoxuan and other people in the team many times, so now Qinghe has become Daoxuan's precious apprentice who treats him like his own son...the two of them Everyone has completed transformation in the Heroes Conference, and has a precious memory of fighting side by side and sharing life and death together. It is no wonder that Daoxuan regards Mo Chengyuan as an old friend.

It's a pity that the heroic conference was a memorable life experience for Daoxuan, but for Mo Chengyuan, it was a catastrophe that hurt him, so after he rebelled against the righteous way, he no longer wanted to think about the events before and after the heroic conference. What happened, whether it was the painful grievances or the memorable passionate stories, were all sealed in the depths of his mind, including Daoxuan, a passerby.

Then, Master Daoxuan babbled on a lot of details about how they fought side by side, described himself as extremely heroic without integrity, bragging so much that his eyebrows raised—fortunately, he didn't snatch Mo Chengyuan. On the contrary, he boasted that his "old friend" was the best in the world and the best in ability... Qing He couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it, so he didn't care too much about his dear master.

In fact, Daoxuan's bragging behavior weakened the heavy feeling in Qinghe's heart: because that session of heroes' meeting was the root of Mo Chengyuan's betrayal of Ningguangzong, that is, for a "place to die", his mortal relatives They were all killed by his fellow disciples - not every sect can be fair and strict, there are too many shady scenes of "selecting people to die"... The decadent Condensing Light Sect forced out Mo Cheng Yuan, the big devil, also put the entire sect on a dead end.

"Master regards Venerable Mo as an old friend, so if one day the two of you have to fight against each other because of differences between righteousness and evil...what should we do?" Qing He considered his tone and asked curiously: "I have heard of this before. There are few rumors about Venerable Mo, most people in the world say that he is volatile and murderous without blinking an eye, it seems to be different from what you said, Master, right?"

Reverend Daoxuan was silent for a moment, then suddenly stretched out his hand to pat Qinghe's head, humming and said, "Rumors are not credible, what I tell you is the truth, do you understand? Venerable Mo is a very loyal person." , don’t listen to the nonsense of people outside! Also, fuck the difference between righteousness and demons, why do you think the two ways of righteousness and demons can be peaceful for so long? It’s because I don’t want to fight with him, and he doesn’t want to fight with me... we If the two don't fight, let's see who dares to fight?!"

Qinghe blinked, and said with a smile, "Master's advice!" In fact, he was quite moved in his heart, having such an old friend who pretends to be affectionate...it's really nice.

Reverend Daoxuan shook his eyebrows and said: "There is also Ningguangzong's extermination. No matter how the orthodox parties comment on that matter, I always believe that there must be a reason for him to be killed. Besides, I also know about Ningguangzong's death. In fact, the disciples of the disciples did not die. He only killed some high-level disciples back then. Many low-level disciples who did not know the inside story were let go by him. Exaggeration is no different than a joke."

"Master, you are simply Venerable Mo's confidant." Qing He said sincerely.

Reverend Daoxuan snorted and said: "Of course, I have been an old friend for hundreds of years, how can I not understand him... How about it, what do you think after hearing the whole story?"

"...This is really a touching story." Qinghe touched his nose, wondering if his dear master could accept that his precious apprentice who had been raised for more than 20 years suddenly became an "old friend for hundreds of years"?
