Li Qiye came out of the Baishengtang and sat on the stone steps, looking at the vast sea, watching the waves and the gentle sea breeze, and was silent for a long time.
Zhang Baitu didn't know the origin of Li Qiye. In his opinion, Li Qiye was so mysterious and unpredictable.
"Where did the son come from?" Zhang Baitu couldn't help asking after a long time.
"From where I should have come." Li Qiye sat on the steps quietly, quietly blowing the sea breeze. After a long time, he glanced at Zhang Baitu next to him and said, "I see you all practicing. It's incomparably mixed, and it's not very sophisticated. You have cultivated your Zhang's techniques, the Sea-Monster's mind, and the tree tribe's inner skills. The mix is messed up, causing you to lose energy. ."
Li Qiye's words not only surprised Zhang Baitu, but also looked down. What he was surprised was that a young man like Li Qiye could see his cultivation at a glance, and what made him look down was his own situation.
"After the elders passed away, what I learned was nothing but a fur. Therefore, I went out to apprentice and entered many sects. Baishengtang, this can be regarded as the fallen leaves return to the root." Zhang Baitu looked sad, open his eyes to speak, and in the end thousands of words were only turned into short words.
"≤,
It turned out that after the elders of Zhang Baitu's family passed away, Zhang Baitu could not learn how many family traditions, and as some of the family's elders disappeared, their Zhang family's exercises were even lost.
But Zhang Baitu was not reconciled, so he traveled far away to learn art from a teacher. He didn't know if Zhang Baitu was obtuse or had other reasons. This makes Zhang Baitu's apprenticeship and learning art difficult.
Zhang Baitu apprentices to learn art. He learns very slowly. Moreover, the progress of practice is very slow. It can even be said that the word "very slow" is not enough to describe his practice. His practice can even be described as "snail crawling".
Zhang Baitu's training is really too slow, so slow that even the masters he worships are willing to let him leave, or he leaves on his own. For many sects, he worships the masters in one day. You can't leave for life.
However, Zhang Baitu’s training was really slow and hopelessly slow. All the teachers he worshiped were willing to let him go. It would not sound good. Zhang Baitu didn’t want to leave. People would rush him away. Such an apprentice is simply embarrassing.
In this way, Zhang Baitu worshipped another sect after another, but in the end they all learned nothing. Because he has too many teachers. Many monks or sects in the Dragon Demon Sea knew him as a person, leading to the end. Everyone called him "Zhang Baitu". This name means that he has become a disciple of one hundred sects. As for his real name, no one remembers him.
Speaking of the past, Zhang Baitu couldn’t help but feel gloomy. He said helplessly: “I am too dull and poorly qualified. I have been under the training of the teachers. I have cultivated throughout my life and even the disciples who have just started are inferior ." At this point, he couldn't help sighing.
For Zhang Baitu, even he himself was desperate. At the beginning, he did not think that he had not found a suitable method for him, or because he did not find a suitable teacher. The disciple himself has no confidence anymore. He can only say that he is too stupid and he is not suitable for training at all. Therefore, he returned to his home and returned to the Baishengtang, hoping to live here forever.
"Or, I'm not destined to be in this world, I'm born a mortal, why bother to squeeze into the monk world." At this point, Zhang Baitu couldn't help but murmured himself.
After worshiping so many teachers and practicing so many techniques, he no longer blames anyone, he only blames himself, and he himself is desperate.
Li Qiye glanced at Zhang Baitu and said lightly: "It's not that you are not qualified, nor is it because you are stupid. Everything in the world has cause and effect. You can only say that you failed to find cause and effect."
"The son doesn't need to comfort me like this, and some elders from the sect have told me like this. If it's really not that I am not qualified, why haven't I made any progress?" Zhang Baitu smiled bitterly and said.
In his opinion, Li Qiye's words are also comforting him. In fact, he has also heard a lot of such words, and some of the teachers and elders he has worshipped also comforted him in the same way.
"The Zhang family's descendants are a bit different in the end, you practice the family's exercises, everything is easy to say." Li Qiye said lightly.
"My Zhang family's exercises?" Zhang Baitu couldn't help but startled, and then he was also a little curious, and asked: "Does the son know my Zhang family's exercises?"
In fact, Zhang Baitu is also very curious in his heart. No one has been able to open the wooden door of Baishengtang. However, a young man like Li Qiye opened it. Zhang Baitu cannot help wondering whether Li Qiye is a legendary sage. .
Of course, Zhang Baitu didn't know what the legendary sages were like. For the so-called sages, they were all in the legend. There have always been rumors that Baishengtang has nine heavens and ten places for shelter. However, no matter it is the descendants of the Zhang family, the Hong family, or the descendants of the Xu family, they have never seen the legendary sages. How is it.
"Zhang's exercises?" Li Qiye just smiled faintly, and said: "If your Zhang family's exercises are lost, or you can go back to Dongting Lake, the sages of the surnames of Zhang, Hong, and Xu, or All the hand sticks are preserved, and you may be able to retrieve your Zhang family's exercises."
Zhang Baitu opened his mouth to speak, but in the end he just sighed softly without saying anything.
"Could it be that Dongting Lake has been squeezing you out of Zhang Clan?" Li Qiye looked at Zhang Baitu and said slowly.
Zhang Baitu was silent for a while, and finally said: "I don't know much about the elders, but Dongting Lake also took care of me and didn't exclude me."
"You don't want to go back." Li Qiye took a look and understood Zhang Baitu's arrogance.
Zhang Baitu was silent for Li Qiye's words and did not answer.
Li Qiye only said indifferently: "The past, let it disappear. The ancestors' struggle for power and what is going to pass should pass. Your ancestors of the surnames Xu, Hong, and Zhang have all fought side by side. It used to be the turn of life and death. On the battlefield of life and death, they have never given up anyone. They are all living and dead. Even in the most tragic time, they exchange blood for blood, and they all support each other to live..."
"... As descendants, you children and grandchildren are indeed unscrupulous. In order to be a little bit of power, to exclude each other, you are deceiving and deceiving. This is simply losing the face of your ancestors and insulting your ancestors' blood-rich friendship. ."
Speaking of this, Li Qiye paused, and said, "After so many years, the ancestors of your surnames should have passed away. You should return to a big family. You should rely on each other and support each other. Only in this way, you Dongting Lake can survive in the future."
For outsiders, Li Qiye rarely speaks so hard. This time he rarely has such hard-spoken words. This can be said to be based on the love of the ancestors of Zhang, Hong, and Xu.
Zhang Baitu couldn't help being silent. Regarding the affairs of his ancestors, he, as a descendant, didn't know how to evaluate it well, or he was a little bit angry in his heart.
"Zhang's people are all a bit arrogant." Looking at Zhang Baitu who was silent, Li Qiye understood the feeling in his heart, he just smiled faintly and said.
Li Qiye looked at Zhang Baitu and said, "You may be angry in your heart. You are not satisfied that the ancestors of the Hong family's surnames pushed your ancestors out of Dongting Lake. Your Zhang family is also one of the founders of Dongting Lake. One, so you can't help feeling anger in your heart."
"I don't know." At this point, Zhang Baitu said: "Dongting Lake is not malicious to me, as for my generation. I don't know the struggle between the ancestors, but the ancestors moved away from Dongting Lake. After that, I didn’t want to go back again. We settled here. This is our home."
"Thousands of years of anger should disappear." Li Qiye just smiled. In later generations, he didn't bother to ask about the power of the descendants of the surnames Zhang, Xu, and Hong in Dongting Lake. He didn't want to ask about it at all.
However, in the end, Li Qiye still hopes in his heart that their surnames will eventually come together. Their surnames are interdependent and indispensable. Only in this way can Dongting Lake survive in the future.
"When I was young, I was more or less angry in my heart." After a long time, Zhang Baitu, who was silent for a long time, couldn't help but smile wryly. He couldn't help but sighed and said: "I am going to die now. Those who are underestimated are underestimated. For me, it doesn’t matter. All the grievances of the ancestors, let it go, which is right and wrong, this is the past of Sesame."
Having said this, Zhang Baitu couldn't help but sighed. When he said this, he couldn't help but feel relieved. The grievances of their surnames should also disappear.
Back then, their Zhang family was squeezed out of the center of power in Dongting Lake. Their ancestors moved out of Dongting Lake and stayed at Baishengtang. They wanted to clear up their relationship with Dongting Lake. This also made their descendants of Zhang family a little bit angry for generations. Dissatisfied, unwilling to interact with the surnames of Hong and Xu in Dongting Lake.
"It's a good thing to have such an idea. The hard work pays off. One day, all the grudges and grievances will be in a smile." Li Qiye glanced at Zhang Baitu and said lightly.
"Wow!" At this moment, the sound of waves rang out of the island, and the waves were separated. I saw more than one hundred iron scale monks with iron armors stepping on the water.
"No, the Sect Master of Ironscale Sect has come in person." Seeing these powerful men stepping on the water, Zhang Baitu's complexion changed drastically, and he was shocked. He didn't expect Ironscale Sect to come so quickly, and the Sect Master Come personally with the elders. (To be continued...)
