The Monk

Chapter 1416: Meet Emperor Xi Again

After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Awei shook his head and said, "I can't go." Youdao must be on guard against others. If there were no such masters like Shen Dou, Zhang Awei might have gone to find Shen Yi. But just because of the existence of this group of people, he was a little unsure.

The sanctuary is not his alone. It can even be said that it is not his at all. He just took it over and shouldered a responsibility to protect the safety of hundreds of millions of residents. He did not dare to leave easily until the threat was removed.

Hearing that Zhang Wen said he couldn't go, Shen undoubtedly thought about it and said, "If you don't go, sir, how can you understand the things in the upper world?" Zhang Wen insisted on his idea and replied in a low voice: "It's too late to learn more later."

He is not interested in anything beyond what he can bear. Although he is the number one person in the starry sky at this time, he has seen such a powerful magic weapon and a group of tall and strong so-called gods. Who knows how terrifying it is? ? Zhang was afraid that he would not have the confidence to face them.

He refused neatly, and God undoubtedly gave up. At first, it was Zhang Ain who said that Shen Wuwu would exchange information from the upper world for Shen Wuji and others. How come he changed his mind when things came to a close? You can change your mind, but what about those people you caught? When do you plan to release it? Then he asked again: "Sir, as we agreed last time, when will you release my fellow disciples?"

Zhang Awei said casually: "It's you who came to my star domain to cause trouble. What's wrong with locking them up for a few days?"

God undoubtedly heard this. Did this guy show any signs of repentance? He hurriedly said: "Sir, we made it clear last time..." Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Zhang Afraid: "Yes, we agreed, tell me the news about the upper world, and I will release him, but I didn't say how many times he would be released." Personally? If you have enough information and are satisfied with it, I will let it all go."

Shen undoubtedly suddenly felt that Zhang Ai was a bit of a rogue. He really couldn't understand how a rogue could become a super master? However, more than 900 fellow disciples were in the hands of this rogue, so he had no choice but to say: "I will go back and ask the master right now. I wonder what you want to know?" Zhang Ping said: "Whatever, you just go and ask."

A scoundrel already makes people angry, not to mention an irresponsible scoundrel, which makes God undoubtedly angry. But, having said that, how can there be a scoundrel in the world who is willing to take responsibility? Therefore, Starry Sky Master Shen undoubtedly had no choice but to bid farewell to Zhang Awei and go back to report the situation to his master.

After he left, Zhang was afraid of sitting for a while longer, and was about to get up and go back to his room, when he suddenly turned around and walked out of the inn, looking up. Not long after, Emperor Xi, dressed in white, appeared in front of him again.

Seeing someone arriving, Long Wei beside him was trying to come over to protect Zhang Ai. Zhang Ain waved his hand and said: "It's okay." After greeting Emperor Xi, he led him into the dining hall, sat down at the seat just now, asked the waiter to bring a few new dishes, and then asked: "What happened?"

Emperor Xi said: "It's not that something happened, it's that my cultivation has not progressed."

Hearing what the old man said, Zhang Zhen's face froze, and he wanted to do his own hard work again? Then he smiled bitterly and said: "Old man, I can only convey spiritual energy to you, but I can't help you increase your cultivation." Emperor Xi said: "How will you know if you don't try it?"

Zhang Weijing was very depressed and spoke like he was in pain: "Even if you want to try, you can't just torment me. Aren't there also Punishers and the others?" Emperor Xi shook his head and said: "They are not cultivated enough."

Okay, I've cultivated enough, but I can't do nothing but practice with you, right? Zhang Wen grabbed the flask and drank from it. Who could know the pain in his heart?

Seeing that he was only drinking and not talking, Emperor Xi said seriously: "I won't trouble you for too long. We can try it first. A month or two will be enough. Whether it works or not, we will know by then."

Zhang was afraid that he didn't reply immediately, so he drank all the strong wine in the pot in one breath, and then slowly asked: "If it succeeds, do I have to continue practicing with you, old man?"

Emperor Xi thought about it and said, "It mainly depends on whether you are willing or not. I can't force you."

Depressed as hell, Zhang Awei stared at Emperor Xi for a long time and said helplessly: "Can you, old man, be any more shameless? What does it mean that I am willing or not? What does it mean to not force? If you don't force it, why are you here now? ?”

"I'm asking for your opinion." Emperor Xi said seriously.

good! you are vicious! Zhang Awei grabbed the wine bottle bitterly, then remembered that the wine was empty, and called to the waiter: "Two more bottles of wine." But Emperor Xi said: "Don't be in a hurry to drink, first tell me whether you agree or not?" "No? !" Zhang Awei replied decisively.

"Don't, you won't die if you help me." Emperor Xi persuaded in a low voice.

Hearing these words, Zhang was afraid that Emperor Xi's soul was seriously damaged and could even say such shameless words, so he didn't reply at the moment. He waited for the waiter to bring the wine, then raised his head and drank.

Emperor Xi persuaded seriously: "I have been to the Demon Realm, and you also know that there are other starry skies. After I came back from the Demon Realm last time, I was thinking about what is beyond the starry sky? How do these many starry skies exist? Above are Isn’t there another world, aren’t you curious?”

Zhang Awei just drank and didn't reply. Emperor Xi continued: "Remembering that there is a starry sky beyond the starry sky, and maybe there is a world higher than the starry sky, I want to go out for a walk, but there are countless starry skies and countless masters, so I can only make myself stronger. , so I can go to those places, but I can’t practice by myself. Tell me, should you help me once?”

Zhang Awei still drank and said nothing. Emperor Xi took away his wine bottle and asked again: "Tell me, should you help me?" Zhang Awei sighed: "You should, but I just won't help."

What's beyond the stars? What does love mean, what does it have to do with me? Zhang Wen only wanted to live a stable and peaceful life, but there were already too many troubles, and the most important thing was to resolve the immediate issues first.

Emperor Xi frowned and said, "How can you do this?" Zhang Ain replied helplessly: "Why can't I do this?"

Emperor Xi did not give up and continued to persuade: "Last time, a demon came to the Demon Realm and tortured you until you were skinny and hairless. What if a master comes next time? You help me practice, but you are actually practicing yourself. When you and I improve in cultivation, why should we be afraid of foreign masters?"

Hearing this, Zhang Wen smiled bitterly in his heart, why should he wait until the future? Now there are foreign masters in this starry sky, and they are super masters from the upper world. It's just that he didn't want to talk about these things, so he smiled and said: "Practice with you? Improve together? If the method you mentioned is effective, tell me how many years will it take to achieve success in cultivation? A thousand years? Or one Ten thousand years?”

"You can't die anyway, so what difference does a thousand or ten thousand years make?" Emperor Xi replied.

Zhang Awei shook his head and said: "Impossible, you have such a good time, you can't do anything good with it, why practice? Think about it, if you spend ten thousand years to become a master, but you are killed as soon as you come out of the mountain, these ten thousand years Are you feeling depressed after the new year? In that case, it’s better not to practice and just go around living.”

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xi asked: "What do you mean?" Zhang Ain replied: "I mean live every day as if it were your last day, and live with a clear conscience." After saying this At this time, Zhang Wen secretly despised himself and borrowed what others said. He forgot when and where he heard an elderly scholar complain, so he wrote down these words. Such words are all nonsense. They may sound reasonable to you, but in fact, they are just playing word games. Is every day the last day? It would be strange if you don't drive yourself crazy as you live one last day after another.

Of course, the purpose of this sentence is to persuade people to open their minds, seize the present, cherish time, and do what they should do. However, in this way, it always conflicts with the normal behavior of normal people.

As the old saying goes, if you don't have long-term worries, you must have immediate worries. It makes people make long-term plans and teaches them how to live better. And if you live every day as your last, you won't plan what your future life will be like. This is a small conflict.

There are always many conflicts like this. When it comes to heaven, it is just different perceptions of different people at different times. It sounds reasonable, but whether it is wrong or right can only vary from person to person and from case to case.

Hearing what Zhang Wear said, Emperor Xi was stunned for a moment and blurted out: "The last day?" He could face life and death calmly, but he never thought about how he would spend his last day. After thinking about it for a moment, he frowned and said: "There is no last day. What difference does every day make to you and me?"

In fact, for most people, today's life is no different from yesterday, including ordinary people who work hard and high-level practitioners.

Zhang Ai said seriously: "I just feel that if today is my last day, I will not waste time practicing with you." Xihuang said angrily: "According to what you said, everyone has to live the last day, so there is nothing to do. "Humanity would have become extinct, the planet would have been destroyed, and you would have died."

This guy kept talking, but refused to help. He was not as available as before. Emperor Xi didn't want to persuade him anymore. After saying this, he stood up and said: "I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you. I'm leaving. Let's go back and continue." Practice.”

The old man was very straightforward and left as soon as he said it. Without waiting for Zhang Yin's reply, the figure had disappeared. Zhang Ai looked blankly at the seat where Emperor Xi had just been seated, thought for a moment, smiled helplessly, and said to the two dragon guards: "Go back." He got up and went back to the guest room.

Emperor Xi made a hard trip but didn't get the help he wanted, so he had to go back and continue to torture himself. Zhang Ping was lying in bed thinking about things. He was wondering what was going on on the dream planet. If the center of the earth in the Holy Palace is the giant sword, what is the center of the earth in the dream planet?

This matter can only be asked to Master Shenyi. Unfortunately, he does not dare to leave the Sanctuary without authorization. One is an unanswered question, and the other is trillions of lives. There is no need to compare who is less important and who is more important. He will naturally stay in the Sanctuary. .

After lying idle like this for another twenty days, God undoubtedly returned again. This guy has been having a hard time recently. He has run back and forth three times from the extreme west to the extreme north. After coming back, I immediately went to see Zhang Ai, without being polite, and directly talked about the matter in the upper world.
