The Godsfall Chronicles

Chapter 162: Cherish the clouds and stars

Views:

Above the city lord's mansion.

Four divine horses and raptors appeared.

The back half of their lion-like body is covered with yellow-brown animal fur, and the eagle-like head to forelegs are covered with golden eagle feathers. The wings and chest are silver-white. They have strong and powerful limbs, and they also have wings that can soar into the sky. Wings, a pair of eyes can see the target 10,000 meters away, and the terrifying power can tear tigers and leopards apart.

On the broad shoulders of the four griffins that symbolize power, each stands with a majestic aura. They wear iron can-like armor to cover their whole bodies. meter long golden spear.

Such a majestic griffin knight is just a coachman. The strong griffins are dragging together a huge gem-studded jade carriage. The material of this carriage looks very heavy, but it actually seems to be floating in the sky without any weight. Being pulled forward by several giant beasts, he finally came to the mansion of the city lord.

Dozens of guards knelt down on one knee.

A middle-aged man who looked about forty years old came out of the carriage. Although he was not young, his skin was fine and handsome, and even his gestures were full of elegance and nobility. It was Xi Yunhong who suffered a big somersault in the wilderness a while ago. He was seriously injured and was rescued back to God’s Domain for treatment in the temple. He has basically recovered completely, but his brows are full of haze. Shame that cannot be washed away.

After Xi Yunhong left the animal carriage, he stood respectfully aside.

Another figure stepped out of the carriage,

This person is more than fifty years old and close to sixty years old. When he was young, his black hair was like the first snow falling in the severe winter. Among them, his gray temples were like the first frost in autumn. His head was full of gray and silver half hidden, but his cheeks looked bigger than they actually were. A little younger, wrinkles occasionally pop out of the corners of the eyes, just like the twists and turns of the past.

This is a character who has gone through vicissitudes.

This life can be described as a legend.

Every deed can be written into a story and spread in God's Domain.

No one in Sky Cloud God Realm does not know his name, he is the number one demon hunter in Sky Cloud God Realm, and at the same time the city lord of Sky Cloud City—Master Xiyun Xingguang!

Dong Guixue had just carefully groomed and washed repeatedly to avoid the filth from the wilderness. At this moment, she was standing in the middle of the garden waiting, with a white armor and a silver spear, her heroic spirit was overwhelming. He has all the qualities a perfect disciple needs, loyalty, youth, bravery, vitality, ambition, extraordinary talent, unparalleled vigor, whether it is execution or action, all are enough to satisfy the Star City Lord. Now not only He is a disciple of Master Starlight, and a very capable assistant of Master Starlight.

Of course no one is perfect.

The only shortcoming of Dongguixue is that she is too young.

Master Starlight is still at his peak, he can make his disciples even better.

When Dong Guixue is in front of Master Starlight, he will unconsciously put away his arrogance and vigor, just like a proud peacock who disdains ordinary birds, but dare not show off his wings in front of Phoenix. Just as the brilliance of the bright moon can dim the stars, but dare not compete with the scorching sun, Master Starlight is the benchmark and example of the demon hunters in the entire Tianyun City, and it is also a mountain that cannot be crossed.

In fact, the fate of the two masters and apprentices was completely accidental.

Ten years ago, on a winter snowy night, a vagrant with outstanding talent was discovered by Master Starlight, which moved the heart of the childless Master Starlight, and this lucky boy passed the test of Master Starlight, and finally became a disciple of Master Starlight smoothly, because he adopted him on a snowy winter night. This vagrant was named Dongguixue for this reason.

Dong Guixue deeply admires this teacher.

The teacher in Dong Guixue's eyes is a perfect strong man.

His behavior, his way of doing things, his cultivation, and his ambition all deeply affected Dong Guixue. Master Starlight not only possesses the power that people look up to, but his wisdom, scheming, and abilities are all top-notch existences of the era. He is almost a natural born superior, standing in front of Dong Guixue like a mountain , let him feel admiration and look up.

Therefore, Dong Guixue is very diligent, even to the point of harshness. What he wants to learn is not only strength, but also everything about the teacher. He never seeks to surpass this great man, but only seeks to be closer.

"Master, this incident happened like this."

The city lord in the gray plain robe listened patiently to his disciples. A pair of small eyes revealed the vastness and profoundness of the deep sea. The wrinkles at the corners of the eyes were the marks of time and vicissitudes. Those who didn't know his identity thought he was a kind and knowledgeable teacher, not some number one demon hunter or city lord.

"This is too unexpected." Dong Guixue saw that the respected teacher had never expressed his views or opinions, and he couldn't help but put forward his own thoughts: "I really thought that Yinyue could survive that guy's hands, they even seemed to be really defeated. After killing that demon, it is difficult to estimate how far they have penetrated, and the current situation may be very unfavorable to us."

The city lord asked calmly, "Let me tell you what you think first."

"Silver Moon hasn't come back so far. Maybe she discovered something. If the matter is revealed, Sky Cloud God Realm will be greatly shocked." Dong Guixue took a deep breath, first organized her thoughts and said: " This matter is very unfavorable to us, I underestimated this woman, Yinyue, this is indeed my omission and fault."

"You are indeed wrong, but it is not the fault. No one can grasp everything. A wise man will make mistakes and make mistakes. So as long as you make a decision after careful analysis and rational consideration, then even if you make a mistake There is no need to regret it.”

The Lord City Lord speaks in a very light and gentle tone, like a kind teacher teaching students who are confused in class. Dong Guixue faced this respected man full of wisdom and experience, he was as humble as a devout believer kneeling under a great statue.

"You have to remember, never imagine that you can control everything, because the world is always full of uncontrollable factors, such as luck. There is no omniscient and omnipotent person. The reason why a wise man is called a wise man is not really because he can do everything in advance. Make the most rational and appropriate plan, make the most correct response in the process, and make the most perfect ending afterwards. As long as you do the best in every link, and then leave the rest to fate, as long as it is human Ultimately, you should not regret your failure, but accept it calmly.”

"Yes, Master." The young student listened very carefully to the words of the city lord, "Then where did I really go wrong?"

"How much do you think Silver Moon can understand?"

"this… "

"This is your weakness. Your character is too proud. When you deal with people, you always like to think about problems with yourself as the center. This is a very bad habit, so you must learn to change your position, otherwise you will only You think that Yinyue has investigated everything, but is this really the case? If she could figure out everything, she would never send her friend to Tianyun City to die, let alone let us know the news." The city lord cast a reproachful look at Dong Guixue, then sighed softly and asked, "Also, how do you deal with Yinyue, a good friend?"

"I subdued him and put him in jail."

"Why do you want to do this?"

"To prevent him from divulging information that shouldn't be leaked, but because the matter is so important, I dare not make any claims. I will deal with it when Master comes back."

The city lord asked again: "Then what do you think I will do with it when I come back?"

"This person may know something he shouldn't know. The longer he lives, the more likely he will leak the secret. The best way to shut him up is...kill him!"

"That's right." The Lord City Master taught his disciples well: "Since you understand that every second that such a person lives will bring us more threats and troubles, since you know his potential danger and seriousness, You also know how I will deal with it, why not deal with it directly, instead of waiting for me to come back? Changes in this world often happen in subtle ways."

"But after all..."

"Dong Guixue, you are too strict with the rules. Rules exist to deal with things. If one day the rules hinder things, you should have the courage and responsibility to break it. If you don't even have this courage, you will never be able to become A character with a single face." The Lord City Master stared at the young man and said, "No matter what the situation is, you must learn to fully analyze the situation. It is not the rule to put reason first in all judgments!"

Dong Guixue lowered her head: "I understand, let's deal with him now!"

Starlight City Master smiled and nodded. This is a very smart and spiritual child. The only shortcoming is that he is too young. But it doesn't matter, the best uncut jade falls into the hands of a master carver, and sooner or later it will become a shining treasure!
