For some reason, Ye Tianlan suddenly fell silent when he heard that Gu Qingfeng wanted to see his mentor, Mr. Zhenjue.
"What? Is it difficult?"
"I don't have anything to worry about. I'm afraid that Elder Zhenjue doesn't want to see you. He hid in the Shangqing Pagoda because he didn't want to see you."
"Master, whether he wants to see me or not is his business. Whether I can see him or not is my business."
Ye Tianlan didn't speak anymore, she seemed to be thinking about something, and after drinking the wine in the glass, she said, "I'll take you there."
After finishing speaking, she waved her hand, and in the blink of an eye, the two of them had already appeared in the Shangqing Pagoda.
There is a cave in the pagoda, which seems to be a world of its own. Gu Qingfeng didn't have the heart to appreciate the legendary treasure of Shangqingzong. After a while, he followed Ye Tianlan to a large hall.
The hall was empty, except for a few paintings carved on the surrounding walls, there was nothing else, and in the innermost part of the hall was a closed stone door. Although Ye Tianlan didn't say anything, Gu Qingfeng had already noticed that the old man, the master, was Inside the stone chamber.
"I go first."
Ye Tianlan tactfully left the Shangqing Pagoda again.
Gu Qingfeng looked at Shimen, didn't speak, just knelt down and kowtowed.
After a while.
Gu Qingfeng finally opened his mouth and said, "Master, the apprentice is back."
No one responded.
Gu Qingfeng continued: "I know you are very disappointed in me, and you don't want to recognize me as an apprentice, let alone see me again."
"No matter what you think, old man, for me, ancient Sirius, one day is a teacher and life is a father. In my heart, you will always be my master, before, now, and in the future."
Gu Qingfeng is an orphan.
He has been wandering around Chiyan Ridge since he was a child. He grew up eating a lot of food, and sometimes he had to fight wild animals for food. Later, he became a member of the Yunxia School. Along the way, he raised his head on the edge of the knife every day. I don't know how many injuries and beatings he has suffered, and only he knows the hardships and sorrows.
It is precisely because he is free and lonely that he values friendship more than anyone else, and he will repay even a drop of water.
then.
He was notorious, and he was besieged by the immortal dynasty and various sects. Not to mention his cultivation base was abolished, his life was in danger. It was Elder Zhenjue who came forward to save his life. It was only later that Gu Qingfeng found out that Elder Zhenjue wanted to To save himself, and to keep himself in the Shang Qingzong, he did not hesitate to gamble on the lofty reputation that his old family has accumulated bit by bit over thousands of years.
Unfortunately.
In the end, Gu Qingfeng still failed to reform himself. Instead of putting down the butcher's knife, he intensified it. With the butcher's knife in his hand, blood flowed into rivers and turned the world upside down.
to this end.
Known as the world's number one fairy teacher, the respected old man Zhenjue also became the target of public criticism and was reviled by everyone.
In order to make atonement, I really feel that the old man is willing to kill himself.
Every time he thinks of this, Gu Qingfeng's heart feels as painful as a needle prick. He has practiced for five hundred years, and he thinks he values love and righteousness, and he has a clear conscience, but only the old man, Gu Qingfeng feels that he is really sorry for him.
after all.
Zhenjue old man not only saved his life back then, but also spent nine years teaching him the true meaning of the word "Dao".
There are countless times of madness before and after Gu Qingfeng, and all his good fortunes are against the sky. Among them, there are many great good fortunes with self-awareness. The reason why he can find himself from the madness again and again is that he has not been caught by those madmen until now. In addition to his own perseverance, it is more about his understanding of the true meaning of humanity after being swallowed by the consciousness of great good fortune.
Return to nature, don't forget the original intention.
These four words were the last eight words that Mr. Zhenjue said to him when he was judged by Immortal Dao.
He has always kept it in his heart.
Don't dare to forget, and won't forget.
"well… "
Sudden.
An old sigh came from inside the stone room.
Gu Qingfeng was stunned, raised his head and said excitedly: "Master!"
"Idiot, oh idiot..."
Hearing the master's voice again, Gu Qingfeng was excited and excited deep in his heart, wishing to break through the stone gate and meet the master.
Of course.
Finally he held back.
The master was able to reply, he was already very satisfied.
"Fool is really a fool. The supreme and free heart of Buddhism, in the end, can't match the word of love deep in your heart. You don't know that the deeper the love, the heavier the disaster. You were like this back then. I can't imagine how many hundreds of years have passed. Years, even today, you are still like this, not only has not weakened, but has become stronger, this may be fate, alas... "
"Return to the original nature, don't forget the original heart, this is a sentence that the master, you, the old man, has always taught the disciple. This is the nature of the disciple, and it will not change even after thousands of years. There will be absolutely no wavering.”
"Return to nature, don't forget the original intention, good... very good..."
Perhaps it was because Gu Qingfeng was so excited to hear the master's words that he didn't understand the meaning of the master's words.
"I thought you could let go of what happened back then, but you never thought about it, but it became a knot in your heart. That's all. If that's the case, then I will tell you the truth as a teacher, hoping to open your knot in your heart."
"the truth?"
Gu Qingfeng was puzzled and asked, "What is the truth?"
"Do you still remember that you always wanted to ask a question back then, that is, why did you save you?"
Of course Gu Qingfeng remembered, and he remembered very clearly.
He has always wanted to know why the master would save himself at all costs.
In fact, there were different opinions about this matter back then. Some people said that they really felt that the old man was merciful, saw that Gu Qingfeng was very talented, and hoped to educate him so as to benefit the world.
Others said that Mr. Zhenjue saw that his life should not be terminated, but he didn't want to let the tiger go back to the mountain, and planned to imprison him in the Shang Qingzong, so as not to harm the common people.
No one knows what the reason is, and Mr. Zhenjue has never told anyone about it.
Gu Qingfeng was also very entangled in this matter back then, but it was only then. Although he still doesn't know why the old man saved him back then, he doesn't care about it anymore.
"Many people say that a teacher saves you because of compassion, hoping to educate you and benefit the world. This is wrong. A teacher is not merciful, nor will he educate you, because a teacher knows that a person's nature uneducable."
"There are also people who say that it is your destiny to save you as a teacher. It is wrong to imprison you in the Shangqingzong to prevent you from harming the common people. This is because the teacher knows better that the little Shangqingzong cannot be imprisoned at all. As for you, as for harming the common people, there is no way to talk about it. Although my disciple is lonely and unrestrained, I will definitely not kill innocent people indiscriminately, let alone harm the common people."
"At the end of ancient times, the Immortal Dynasty was corrupt, and the people were in dire straits. Even if there were no disciples, others would stand up to attack the Immortal Dynasty and end the ancient era. This is God's destiny, and it is also the inevitable consequence of causal development."
