[Thunderbolt] Know the White and Keep the Black

According to Jianzi Xianji's prediction, the decisive battle between the righteous way in the affliction and the demon capital will inevitably involve great sacrifices.

After all, the lord of the demon city is of extraordinary foundation and cunning enough, don't look at the stalemate between the two sides now, just wait for the lord of the demon city to make a move, there will be casualties in the right way of suffering.

At least he won't be able to survive the last chapter. If he doesn't seal the Lord of the Demon City again at the cost of his soul, this battle will never end.

When Jianzi Xianji watched Taishangzhang leave, he already understood this person's determination.

Even Su Zhenzhen didn't stop them. After seeing too many sacrifices, they also understood that some things are destiny, and they can only go upstream and not against the current.

"Senior has great righteousness in his heart, I feel ashamed." Su Zhenzhen said, "I thank senior for the common people in the world."

Taishangzhang shook his head lightly, "The so-called righteousness has nothing to do with me, and I am not a person who cares about the world, so I can't bear your thanks. Knowing the destiny is all about human affairs, that's all."

"See you by fate, don't worry about it."

Headmaster Daoxuan walked open-mindedly and unrestrainedly, Jianzi Xianji felt more and more uncomfortable.

He thought of Taishangzhang who copied the books for him and told his fortune, and remembered the high-spirited and peaceful people in the past. Now that one is doomed to die without the other, there is no such thing as the impermanence of the world.

But Jianzi Xianji couldn't even make the final journey to Taishangzhang, he and Su really couldn't get away, so he could only watch the man leave by himself.

After that, the development of the situation was much better than Jian Zixian's expectation. At least no one died in the afflicted righteous way except Taishangzhang.

After all, Yu Shancui was willing to live under others. At the critical moment, he turned against each other and teamed up with the righteous way of the afflicted situation, which caught the people of the demon capital off guard.

And the Lord of the Demon City was held back by Taishang Zhang and could not be rescued, and it was also due to Su Zhenzhen's deep calculations.

Without the master of the demon capital, the people of the demon capital will not be able to achieve anything.In the end, Yushan destroyed the throne and returned to the demon city, and the two parties made a contract of non-aggression.

The three seals have been strengthened again, and Daoxuan head Ying Ruochong sits on the side of the plight, and the demon city will not be born again for more than a thousand years.

On the day Ying Ruochong took over as the head of Daoxuan, Jianzi Xianji also went.

Standing outside the crowd, he watched the girl bow down and salute meticulously from a distance, but he felt a little emotional in his heart, but it wasn't too sad.

Before the ceremony was over, Jianzi Xianji had brought a jar of wine to the back mountain to worship.He Guang Tongchen is buried here, although it is only a tomb of clothes, the specification is also dignified enough.

Jianzi Xianji saw that someone had arrived first, and that person had already spilled a jar of wine in front of He Guang Tongchen's tomb.

There are quite a few wine jars placed in front of He Guang Tongchen's tomb, counting Jianzi's traces carefully, there may be hundreds of jars.

Such an extravagant style, it seems that Jianzi Xianji's one hundred Wen wine is too shabby.

But Jianzi didn't care, he first toasted a glass to He Guang Tongchen, and poured another glass to Tai Shangzhang.

The former head teacher Daoxuan didn't refuse, he took a sip first, he covered his mouth and coughed as if he wasn't used to alcohol, then tilted his head back and drank it down in one gulp.

"I remember that fellow Taoist once made an oath to uphold the precepts for the rest of his life, not to drink alcohol or eat meat. I don't know if this is considered a breach of the precept?" Jianzi Xianji asked.

"I am no longer the head teacher of Daoxuan, so I don't need to keep the precepts." Taishangzhang said, "It's rare for a fellow Taoist to be generous. I'm afraid this jar of wine cost you a lot of money, right?"

This sounded like a sincere concern, but Jianzi Xianji didn't appreciate it, he just stared at Taishangzhang: "Fellow Daoist is indeed still alive."

Before Taishangzhang could answer, Jianzi Xianji said again: "That sword is like light and dust. Since he specially asked someone to send back that sword, he must have made up his mind a long time ago. When you see it that day When you come to the same dust as the light, you say that people cannot be resurrected after death, and you are clear about it."

Tai Shangzhang did not speak, he played with the white porcelain cup, and finally said: "The price of sealing the master of the demon capital is the soul, the senior brother sealed his soul in that sword to end my destiny for me, and let me die." I can live on."

Those things that Jianzi Xianji couldn't understand before, are now clear.

Since the soul of the light and the dust is in the sword, even if his body reappears in the world, it is nothing more than a walking dead, so Taishangzhang is merciless when he strikes.

Jianzi Xianji thought to himself, walking with Guang Tongchen in adversity for hundreds of years just to give his junior brother a chance of survival, all this was not in vain after all, and he should be happy for him.

He Guangtongchen made an oath back then, saying that he would protect the safety of Taishangzhang throughout his life, and he did not violate the agreement after all.

"He took so much trouble for me, a mortal person. It's not enough to just give up his own life. He even lost his soul. It's really not worth it." Tai Shangzhang said softly.

He was already a little drunk, and the words he said were vague: "I have lived long enough, I am really tired. After several lifetimes, I have been a Taoist priest, a monk, and a demon. When luck is good, it is not easy. You will die in a hundred years, and if you are unlucky, you will have to live for thousands of years."

"I can't forget all of this, it's clearly engraved in my mind. But as time goes by, I don't care about everything, and let everything take its course."

Jianzi Xianji remembered that he also said this vaguely before the first chapter.He didn't ask carefully at that time, but now Taishangzhang took the initiative to talk about it, and Jianzi believed it three points.

The theory of reincarnation naturally exists, but there are too few people like Taishangzhang who have too good a memory to forget their previous lives, which is unfortunate enough.

"When I was seven years old, my uncle sat back and watched my parents being killed. He even fed me a penis, lest I would not die. I didn't feel too sad. Knowing that I am also destined to sacrifice, I may be insane When I saved it, I was relieved. But Master felt ashamed of me, and he couldn't let it go for a long time."

Taishangzhang said to himself, Jianzi Xianji kept silent and listened.

"I don't think it's such a miserable thing to lose one's mind and soul. Instead of living endlessly like this, it's better to die as soon as possible to seek relief. The rest of the people also take it for granted. After all, no one can stop the destiny, and only the elder brother He was extremely persistent and insisted on finding a way out for me, which really made him succeed."

"I've lived several lifetimes, but I've never seen such a stupid person." The rest of the words were too long to finish, if there was water in his eyes, the long eyelashes disappeared in a blink.

After a pause, Taishangzhang continued to calmly say: "Since he wants me to live, then I will live, and I will fulfill my long-cherished wish for the deceased. After all, the living are more tired than the dead, because they have to bear the expectations of others. Moving on, who knows the truth?"

This is really cold, as if for Taishangzhang, the sacrifice of He Guangtongchen was just a superfluous act, a self-assertion and a burden that hindered him from seeking relief.

Jianzi Xianji couldn't help it anymore, he couldn't help but said: "Do you know that he wrote a book..."

"I chose the title of the book "Swordsmanship" for him. It comes like a thunderbolt and absorbs the wrath, but it is like the river and sea congealing the clear light. Poetry is like a sword, and it is like a person." Tai Shangzhang said unhurriedly, "It's a pity. , if he is alive, he will be able to enter the Tao with a sword in the future, and even become an immortal."

That sigh was sincere, it was a compliment from those who had reached the peak to those who were still on the mountainside.

Jianzi Xianji was also choked by Taishangzhang's words, and couldn't say any more.He almost forgot that this person is a magic stick in the first place, as long as he makes a fuss, he can't hide anything from him.

The subtle thoughts of He Guang Tong Chen have always been clearly understood in the last chapter, and the only person who is kept in the dark is He Guang Tong Chen himself.

"It's just that there are some things he doesn't say, and I don't have to ask. Everything is kept silent, so what's wrong with that?" Tai Shangzhang smiled lightly, "Those who don't know are the happiest. If I die, maybe he will die." I can't figure it out for the rest of my life. But he died before me, and I can't do anything about it."

That smile was cold and indifferent. Although it was pretty, it was more like a statue of a god placed in the hall, without a trace of popularity.

What should be said has already been said, and Jianzi Xianji has lost interest.He came to Daoxuan this time to clear up the doubts in his heart, and he also visited his good friend, so he has no regrets.

As for Taishangzhang, probably the fate of the two of them is nothing more than that, the friendship between gentlemen is still as light as water, and there will be no intersection in the future.

But before Jianzi Xianji left, he looked back reluctantly, and just in time saw Taishangzhang bent over and pulled out the sword that had been standing beside him, the sword of the light and the same dust.

In an instant, the sword light flickered like thunder and lightning, like a thunderbolt like a river and a sea of ​​light, solitary and sharp, it was the sword intent of being as light as dust.

Since Tai Shangzhang said that He Guang Tongchen has lost his mind and soul, then his sword intent should also dissipate...

Jianzi Xianji's heart couldn't help trembling violently, and Taishangzhang didn't care about his gaze, he slowly brushed off the dust on the sword, and the blade clanged with a low and pleasant sound, more like greeting Jianzi Xianji.

This unspoken magic stick is really hated, Jianzi Xianji couldn't help grinding his teeth in anger.But Jianzi has a good temper after all, he stopped in his tracks and turned his head to ask, "I don't know what you plan to do in the future?"

"Retire from the rivers and lakes and be a rich and idle person. Travel around the mountains and rivers when you have nothing to do, and make money for others to earn travel expenses when you are short of money. You are free and happy."

Jianzi Xianji wanted to laugh, but he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.

"Oh, by the way, I hope fellow Taoists will treat me as dead in the future." Tai Shangzhang added, "You are destined to be a hard worker who can't take time off. You just want to be busy, and you always want to drag people into the water." .”

"With a friend like you, except for those with a hard life, I am afraid that no one will live long."

Being squeezed by Taishangzhang in such a way, his face was as thick as a sword's fairy, and he couldn't help but smile coyly, unable to say anything.

After explaining the last thing, Taishang Zhang Chong Jianzi nodded slightly, and the two passed by like strangers.

But Jianzi Xianji felt that one day he would still be able to see that blue-clothed swordsman, maybe it would take a year, or it would take hundreds of years, no one could say for sure.
