Your life is mine.
When he said this, Shang Xingzhou's expression was very calm, as if he was telling the simplest but most undeniable truth in the world.
Just like the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, and the starry sky never changes, eggs are best eaten with fried vegetables.
After hearing these words, Chen Changsheng naturally recalled the most famous scene of the civil turmoil in Lishan that year.
Monarch and subject, father and son, master and apprentice are the three most difficult rules in the world to break.
At that time, Patriarch Qiu Shan said the word father and son, and a great figure like Mr. Qiu Shan had to pierce his chest with a sword in order to break these two words.
What should Chen Changsheng do
In fact, everyone knew that once the conflict between the master and apprentice broke out completely, Shang Xingzhou would definitely use the righteousness of master and apprentice to smash it over. Su Moyu and other teachers and students of the National Education College, as well as the priests in the Li Palace, were deeply worried about this, but they couldn't think of a good way to deal with it for Chen Changsheng.
Of course, Chen Changsheng was also mentally prepared for this. He had imagined such a scene many times, so it was not surprising.
He didn't speak, more because he was remembering.
Hearing Master's voice, he remembered the scene of Lishan, looked at the winter tree by the lake, and remembered what Tang Sanshiliu had said.
That was a long time ago.
At that time, he and Tang Thirty-Six were standing on the big banyan tree, looking at the sunset of Kyoto, the nearby imperial palace and the distant palace.
Tang Thirty-Six said a lot of words, many words related to vigilance, which can also be interpreted as bad words for his master.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Changsheng remembered the night when the Pope returned to Xinghai, he walked alone on the snowy field of Li Palace for a long time.
Before that, he had told the Pope how he would understand and treat this master-student relationship.
He is not Qiushan Lord, nor is the firm the Qiushan Patriarch, so the method of killing himself with a sword is meaningless.
He didn't know that other senior brothers had tried similar methods in the palace, and even if they knew, they wouldn't follow suit.
Because this method must be based on one foundation - Patriarch Qiu Shan loves Lord Qiu Shan, and Shang Xingzhou loves the rest.
Chen Changsheng calmly confirmed a cold fact, his master never liked him.
At the moment when he thoroughly thought about this matter, he gained real freedom and peace.
Then just like what he said to the Pope, just like what Tang Sanshiliu taught him, let's talk.
"Thank you." Chen Changsheng looked at Shang Xingzhou and said.
Regardless of the disgusting ugly plots, the outrageous harm to babies, you rescued me in the creek and raised me, so... thank you.
Then, there is no more.
He looked across the snow field calmly, his eyes bright, and he didn't say a word.
After a long period of silence, Shang Xingzhou narrowed his eyes slightly, and said slowly, "Is this the end?"
Chen Changsheng thought for a while and asked, "Do you want to get back the living expenses of these years? Then, how much is the total?"
When he spoke, his expression was very serious, it didn't look like he was joking at all.
Because this matter is not meant to be joked about.
Even if I admit that you saved my life, but I have already thanked you, what else do you want
Need living expenses? Tell me, I'll give it all back to you, I'm already rich, and I have a very rich friend.
Back then on the big banyan tree, when Tang Thirty-Six said these words, his eyebrows flew up, as if they were about to burn in the twilight, very proud.
When Chen Changsheng recalled the scene at that time, the corners of his lips couldn't help but twitch.
Shang Xingzhou also started to laugh.
His laughter was clear and clear, completely out of line with his age and experience, completely different from the silent and inconspicuous middle-aged Taoist in Chen Changsheng's memory.
The snow on the big banyan tree rustled down.
The laughter suddenly stopped.
"In the whole world, only you, my master and my apprentice know why I won't let you stay in the capital."
Shang Xingzhou looked at Chen Changsheng and said indifferently, "Because you are His Majesty's only weakness or loophole."
Many people didn't understand why Shang Xingzhou's attitude towards Chen Changsheng was so tough. It was because they didn't know the relationship between Yu Ren and Chen Changsheng.
When it was snowing heavily a few days ago, the young emperor stood in the snow, blocking Shang Xingzhou's way, and the jade pendant that Patriarch Qiushan paid tribute to was gently swaying. His determination and will temporarily saved Chen Changsheng's life, and it deepened his confidence again. Shang Xingzhou's fear.
What would happen if someone used Chen Changsheng to threaten the rest of us in the future
Of course, now that Chen Changsheng is the pope of the state religion, logically speaking, no one can use him anymore.
However, if Chen Changsheng had other ideas on his own, what would happen if he used the power of the pope and the feelings of others towards him
Chen Changsheng understood, but did not accept it, and said seriously to Shang Xingzhou, "Master, you should be very clear that I am not such a person."
Shang Xingzhou's expression didn't change at all, and he said, "Everyone is subject to change."
He has lived in this world for thousands of years, has seen too many changes in scenery, vicissitudes of life, and too many changes in people's hearts.
He is very clear that with the change of status and power, sometimes just because of the seat, once loyal subordinates will be rebellious, comrades who have shared life and death will turn swords and guns, and brothers turn against each other. North Korea's history has long been common.
Chen Changsheng has never seen those old things in the wind and rain, and he is still a young man like the new wind in early spring.
Although he has seen a lot of decay and darkness now.
He said seriously to Shang Xingzhou, "I won't become that kind of person."
Shang Xingzhou said, "I don't believe you."
Chen Changsheng said: "Then don't you covet the throne?"
Shang Xingzhou said: "No, because that would go against my original intention of Taoism."
Chen Changsheng said: "Master, you believe that you can do what you want, and you will never be greedy for power and glory in the world, so why don't you believe me?"
Shang Xingzhou said: "Because I know exactly where my heart is, and you are still too young to know what your heart is, so how can you hold on to it?"
Chen Changsheng now naturally knows that his master's lifelong pursuit is to fulfill His Majesty Emperor Taizong's will, destroy the demons, seek a truly bright future for the human race, and establish an eternal foundation for the Great Zhou. any price...
How many of those portraits on Lingyan Pavilion, those legendary heroes in the portraits died in the hands of that Taoist Ji
In order to overthrow the rule of the Holy Empress Tianhai, how many people have died in this world, and how many more people will die
Shang Xingzhou firmly believed that what he did was correct, that he was correct, without any guilt, let alone any pressure.
His Dao heart is always transparent, as light as a feather, turning around at will, traveling in the seven seas on the blue sky, and it is like a rock, so what if the flood is overwhelming
Chen Changsheng also cultivated according to his will, so he naturally understood.
Because I understand, but I don't feel compassion in my heart, only a burst of vigor.
He clearly saw the only loophole in Shang Xingzhou's law.
The old temple in Xining Town taught him a lot, and Shang Xingzhou also taught him a lot.
"You don't like me because I'm the only loophole for senior brother, but there's another more important reason."
Chen Changsheng looked into Master's eyes and said, "You are afraid to see me."
