Chen Changsheng found the sword pool and brought out many swords. This matter has not been spread yet, but it is no longer a secret.
It's just that Xu Yourong has been living in seclusion to recuperate, so she doesn't know about this matter, but everyone thinks that of course she knows about it. If Gou Hanshi had said it at this time, then she should have guessed something in advance, but in fact...it never matters when she knows.
This passage is a mouthful, but the truth is actually very simple.
Like all stories or real life, people will always encounter problems of one kind or another. Some problems will make you drink poison and throw yourself into the grave, and some problems will make you laugh and cry. It has nothing to do with the problems in between, what matters is how you solve those problems.
When Xu Yourong walked to the back peak of the Li Mountain, her teacher was trying to solve a problem. As the leader of the southern sect who was on equal footing with the Pope, she had to solve a big problem.
This problem is called North-South Confluence.
If human beings want to completely defeat the demons, or at least completely eliminate the threat of the demons, they need a true unification, or to use a popular saying for two hundred years, it is called the confluence of the north and the south.
The Great Zhou Dynasty always wanted to truly conquer the south, but even His Majesty Taizong, who was wise and mighty, could only make the southern sectarians recognize the orthodox status of Kyoto in name. After the Holy Empress actually came to power, this was what she most wanted to do, but she didn't succeed either. More than ten years ago, Prince Liang's Mansion conspired with Changshengzong to attack the north from the south. Although it seems more like a joke afterwards, it also shows that the convergence of the north and the south is the general trend.
In the earlier hundreds of years, the north-south confluence failed due to complicated reasons, but in the past two hundred years, the entire continent, including the demons, knew that the reason why the three saints, the Holy Empress of Tianhai, the Pope, and the Holy Maiden of the South Neither collective will nor strong promotion can push the north-south confluence forward. The fundamental reason is the existence of one person.
Because Su Li disagreed.
Why did Su Li have to face the shameless pursuit of the human world immediately after the bloody battle with the powerful demons in the snowy field of the Demon Realm? Why did the sage and Bafang Fengyu put him to death in Xunyang City at the expense of their reputations? Just because he killed too many people? Of course not, but because only with Su Li's death, the great cause of North-South Confluence can be truly realized.
"I don't want you to become the second Zhou Dufu." The saint looked at Su Li and said softly, "If you think Zhou people's face is really shameless, you can't see it."
Su Li shook his head and said, "You still don't understand why I disagree with this matter."
"When did you really open your heart to me again?" The saint looked into his eyes and said with a smile.
Xu Yourong knew that the teacher and Su Li knew about her arrival, but the elders could act like a breeze and stars, but she couldn't listen and stepped forward to salute.
Su Li pointed at her and said to the saint: "You have time, so solve your apprentice's problem first."
Xu Yourong's expression was slightly condensed, thinking what's wrong with him
Su Li continued: "Her problem is much more troublesome than the north-south confluence, and I don't even know what to do."
The saint raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "What's the problem?"
Su Li said: "Of course it's a matter of major life matters. I can't even tell who is better, Mr. Qiushan or that idiot Chen Changsheng. Who is she going to marry?"
The holy girl said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about in front of this junior?"
Xu Yourong really couldn't accept... such a scene, and sighed in her heart, and felt that Su Li's words from senior were actually closer to Chen Changsheng.
"I won't marry anyone." She said, "I will go back to the capital and call off the engagement."
Su Li raised his eyebrows slightly, as if the sword was about to fly into the night mist of Mount Li, but he didn't say anything in the end.
The saint looked at her with some pity. What happened to Xu Yourong in the Zhou Garden, no one said anything, including her. But what kind of person she is, after taking a look at her a few days ago, she knew that her female apprentice had encountered a emotional disorder, so she stopped mentioning the marriage contract and said instead: "When you go to the capital, you will go to Li Palace to collect samples for your teacher. .”
Xu Yourong said: "Yes, Master, but I don't know what it is."
The saint said: "The sword pool in Zhouyuan has reappeared in the sky. Chen Changsheng is willing to return those swords to the gates of the sects. The Zhai sword is among them, but it is temporarily kept in the palace."
The Zhai Sword is the portable sword of the Southern Saintess. It was taken away from the Saintess Peak by Zhou Dufu many years ago and disappeared without a trace.
Hearing this news, Xu Yourong was very surprised, and then always felt that something was wrong.
yes, very wrong...
Su Li suddenly asked, "When are you going to the capital?"
Xu Yourong came to his senses and replied, "It should be after the winter solstice."
Su Li said, "Since you're going to the capital, help me return something to Chen Changsheng. It just so happens that you know each other."
Xu Yourong resisted subconsciously, and said, "I don't know him."
"You girl is as stubborn as your master!"
Su Li said: "Tianhai and your master taught you a person. Old man Yin is just a junior. You always have to fight. You don't have to see each other when you're retiring the engagement, and you can't see each other even if you fight?"
Xu Yourong knew that this was indeed the case. After returning to the capital, he ignored the things about the Qingteng Banquet and the imperial examination. Judging from the current situation, a battle between himself and Chen Changsheng was inevitable.
"what?"
"an umbrella."
Su Li found out a yellow paper umbrella from nowhere and threw it to Xu Yourong.
This is the umbrella he cherished the most back then. It contains the sword he most wants to get back, and it also represents a period of time.
So on the snow field, even if he bickered with Chen Changsheng like a child, he was reluctant to give it away.
But now, he just casually threw the umbrella out.
The saint's expression changed slightly, and her voice trembled slightly: "You really... agree?"
Su Li said: "I'm still thinking about it, but... if I really have the opportunity to visit other worlds, it's really better than smelling the stench in this swamp."
The saint stopped talking and looked at him quietly, full of relief and emotion.
If Xu Yourong saw this scene, she would definitely feel helpless, but she didn't.
Because she was looking at the umbrella in her hand, the old umbrella.
Of course she recognized the umbrella.
She held the umbrella.
She held up this umbrella.
From grassland to Zhouling.
There have been more than a thousand miles along the way, and there have been several seasons.
She was on his back with the umbrella in her hand.
This umbrella protected her and him from rain and snow, wind and frost, smoke and dust, and guided the direction.
Give it back to... Chen Changsheng... Jianchi... Zhaijian... him.
Her face instantly turned white.
She was a little lost.
She was in a daze.
What the hell is going on with all this
