Xuelao City is constantly snowing all year round, and it is extremely far away from the human world, but the news has never been cut off.
This demon capital is a big city comparable to Kyoto, Luoyang, etc. Even if all seventeen city gates are closed, there are still countless ways to send news to the outside world.
However, now that Xuelao City has been closed for three days, His Majesty the Pope still doesn't know what happened in Xuelao City.
Obviously, this is not a city closure in the ordinary sense, there must be something earth-shattering happening in the city.
The Tianshu Mausoleum incident has just passed three days.
Chen Changsheng recalled what Master said to the Holy Empress that night. He said that he had long been prepared for the Demon Race. Could it be that the closure of Xuelao City had something to do with it
He shook his head and stopped thinking about these questions. No matter what happened in Xuelao City, what did it have to do with him
The Pope looked at his side face, felt his emotional changes, and said: "A useful body must be used to do something useful, whether it is for the people of the world, or to make the Taoist heart peaceful."
Chen Changsheng looked at the fallen leaves outside the window, and said dully, "I've been used many times."
These words may sound inexplicable to others, but the Pope knew what he wanted to express, and there was more pity and guilt in his eyes.
"In addition to using, there will always be other things, such as relatives, such as friends."
He looked at Chen Changsheng and said, "Your surname is Chen, you are a member of the royal family, and there are many relatives of yours living here."
"Are you referring to those princes?" Chen Changsheng said, "They only want me to die sooner."
This was a very accurate judgment. Whether it was King Xiang, who was bound to become powerful, or King Zhongshan, who was about to control the great power of the Great Zhou military, the person he feared the most right now was Chen Changsheng.
Because Chen Changsheng is also from the royal family, a student of Shang Xingzhou, a celebrity known to the world, and more importantly, he is the future pope.
No matter competing for the throne or power, he is the last opponent that the princes of the Chen family want to see.
As for the word family, it is more like a joke to the Chen royal family.
Nearly a thousand years have passed, and no one will forget the changes in Baicaoyuan.
Today's princes are all descendants of Emperor Taizong, so how could they be happy for the descendants of the survivors to regain so many rights.
The Pope understood what Chen Changsheng meant, and said, "Even so, you still have relatives."
The relatives here naturally refer to those survivors living in the Holy Light Continent.
For example, the monk who once appeared by the Jiumiao River in Xining Town.
Those royal families who were chased to another continent by Emperor Taizong were, of course, relatives of Chen Changsheng in terms of blood.
It is even possible that his parents are still living there.
Chen Changsheng understood that His Majesty the Pope mentioned those people in the Holy Light Continent not because he wanted to do something on his own, but because he wanted to convince himself that he was related to this world.
This kind of connection may make him warm to this world and stop being so chilling, or let him find some reasons to like this world.
This moved him a little.
But what moved him was that His Majesty the Pope said these words, not the content.
Because he didn't have any good feelings for those "relatives" living in the Holy Light Continent.
"Those are not my relatives, they are all bad people."
Chen Changsheng said: "When I was a baby, no, maybe even a fetus, they did so many things to me."
whats the matter? In order to convince the Holy Empress Tianhai that he is Prince Zhaoming, the people of Shengguang Continent used external force to destroy his innate sun wheel, cut off his meridians, and poured countless seemingly full The breath of life, the energy of the holy light that is actually extremely dangerous.
When arranging this situation, neither his master nor those relatives in the Holy Light Continent definitely never thought that the Holy Empress Tianhai would change his fate for him in the end.
This also means that at the end of the game, he will either be eaten by the Queen Tianhai, or be ignored and die.
This also means that, from birth, that baby is doomed not to live past twenty years.
This is a cruel thing.
So, those people are bad people.

"My medical skills are very good, and my life is very regular. I never eat heavy oil and salt, let alone pickled products. I live a healthy life and practice seriously. I came to Kyoto from Xining and said that I was retiring. To heal illnesses, save myself, want to go against the sky, and change my fate, the direction of everything I do, the purpose of my life is to survive."
Looking at the few fallen leaves floating up and down on the lake, Chen Changsheng's expression became a little gloomy.
"Now that my illness is cured, I can continue to live. I can live to be twenty years old, two hundred years old, or even a thousand years old. However, I suddenly find that I am just a substitute, a tool, and a fruit. My existence has nothing to do with it. meaning, so where is the meaning of continuing to exist?"
The Pope hesitated to speak.
"Uncle, I know you want to comfort me, but I have nothing now."
He paused for a while, then continued: "I don't even have any illnesses."
When he said this, his voice didn't tremble and seemed very calm.
But even the Pope, who has experienced many vicissitudes and has read all about the world, feels sad.
He has nothing left, not even his illness.
How much sadness and sadness are hidden in this calm sentence
The pope sighed.
He came to the Orthodox Academy today to cheer Chen Changsheng up, at least to find the meaning of life, but Chen Changsheng told him that his existence itself was meaningless. He wanted to convince Chen Changsheng that this world still had good intentions towards him, but in fact, from before his birth, this world had only been full of malice towards Chen Changsheng.
He could have continued to persuade Chen Changsheng, such as Yu Ren, such as Xu Yourong, such as Tang Sanshiliu.
But looking at such a calm and sad seventeen-year-old young man, he couldn't bear to say anything.
"Actually, I thought I wouldn't see you in the Orthodox Academy, or I would see you packing your luggage, but since you didn't, it means you're still hesitating. The world doesn't treat you kindly, so you should treat yourself better , make the best choice for yourself, take your time, don’t worry, I still have a few days to live.”
After the Pope finished speaking, he left the Orthodox Academy.
Chen Changsheng didn't turn around, he was still looking at the autumn scenery outside the window, so he didn't notice that His Majesty's back was very gloomy when he left.
His Majesty the Pope left the Orthodox Academy, Mao Qiuyu and other tycoons of the Orthodox Church also left, and dozens of cardinals and the Orthodox cavalry also withdrew.
The cavalry and those masters of the Great Zhou court did not appear again, because Li Gong had already demonstrated his strength and expressed his attitude.
Chen Changsheng is still the next pope.
The Orthodox Academy regained its calm, and the courtyard gate was reopened, ushering in a strong sense of autumn.
Some teachers and students took advantage of the confusion and left, and their names were recorded in a small notebook by Su Moyu.
More teachers and students did not leave, and began to clean up, sort out the stone chips around the library, and prepare for tomorrow's class at the same time.
Chen Changsheng went to the Herb Garden next door.
The woods here are denser than the woods in the Orthodox Academy and the Zhushi Forest, and the colors at this time are very beautifully painted by the autumn.
There is a stone table in the autumn forest.
There was no teapot or cups on the table.
He sat at the table, just staring blankly.
