Sadness is just an emotion, not despair. The little black dragon lowered his head, looked at the footprints on the snow, and began to think and calculate quickly. How much strength did the golden dragon royal family lose when it broke through the crystal wall when it returned from another continent? Shang Xingzhou was able to easily defeat it, naturally relying on the advantage of the home field, and must have prepared in advance, how to accurately determine this person's true realm through this battle? If his iron chains were broken, how many chances would he have to defeat this person
Chen Changsheng guessed what she was thinking, and said, "Don't think about it anymore."
The little black dragon raised his head, stared into his eyes and said, "The Pope asked me to be your guardian, there must be some meaning."
Neither she nor Chen Changsheng knew that His Majesty the Pope rescued her from the bottom of the Beixin Bridge and asked her to be Chen Changsheng's guardian because of the complicated relationship between the Xuanshuang giant dragon clan and the White Emperor City.
Hearing the term "guardian" again, Chen Changsheng was silent for a while, then suddenly said, "Do you know who my master's guardian was?"
The little black dragon shook his head.
Chen Changsheng looked in the direction where the man had just disappeared in the wind and snow, and said, "Master uncle told me that night... Master didn't choose a guardian back then."
A strange color flashed in the little black dragon's eyes.
Chen Changsheng continued: "Master, he believes that one cannot rely on external objects or others in cultivating the Dao. He alone is enough."
The little black dragon remained silent.
Such a person is terrible.

After the night is dawn, the wind and snow are still shrouded in Kyoto, and the mainland has ushered in a new year.
On the first day of the new year, there are many important events, such as the official change of the year name in the Great Zhou Dynasty, such as the new owner of the Li Palace.
Just at the New Year's Ceremony in the Li Palace, something that shocked the entire continent happened.
According to His Majesty's will and the edict of the state religion that had been promulgated in advance, Chen Changsheng became the new Pope.
However, he did not appear at the New Year's Ceremony, and he was not seen in the main hall of light, so naturally there was no so-called enthronement ceremony. This news caused countless shocking discussions. Whether it was the priests of the Li Palace, the teachers and students of the Ivy Academy, or the ordinary people in the capital, they all felt very bewildered and a lot of uneasiness arose.
Amid all the turmoil, Li Gong gave an authoritative explanation.
On the big letter are the blood seals of the five giants and Chen Changsheng's autograph.
Because His Majesty the Pope is too young and doesn't have enough time to practice Taoism, he decided to enter the world to practice and understand the way of heaven in the world of mortals.
When will you be back? No one knows, and there is no answer in the pamphlet, but it is written very clearly that His Majesty the Pope can return to Beijing to enthroned at any time.
The Pope is not in the Li Palace, but hides his name and cultivates quietly in the world
This is the first time in history that this has happened.
Shock and confusion filled the entire capital and even the entire continent, so many people did not remember what the new year name of the Great Zhou Dynasty was.
When these emotions were finally slightly diluted by time, people looked back at the past year and recalled the things that His Majesty the previous Pope did, and then they vaguely understood something - all of this was arranged by His Majesty the previous Pope .
If Chen Changsheng stayed in the capital, the court would feel extremely uneasy, and this uneasiness would inevitably lead to war.
His leaving the capital will make the court... More precisely, it will make Shang Xingzhou feel much more at ease.
Although until now, few people understood why Shang Xingzhou was so vigilant, repelled, and hated Chen Changsheng's existence.
Just like what Chen Changsheng wanted to understand a long time ago, just like what Shang Xingzhou sighed in the wind and snow at the Orthodox Academy last night, if you hate each other, then you won't see each other.
Give this pair of master and apprentice some time, some distance.
Give some time and some distance between the court and the state religion.
Give the world and its people a chance.
It doesn't necessarily need a war, and it doesn't necessarily have to be a matter of life and death.
Chen Changsheng is still the pope.
It's just that you can't stay in Kyoto, you can't stay in Li Palace.
Even if this endgame will eventually lead to life and death, at least there can be some gaps.
Problems that cannot be solved now will wait until the future, or both parties will have more wisdom to solve them.
This is the arrangement of the former Pope, and it seems to be the best solution now.
Of course, there are more details in the arrangement of the former Pope, to ensure that even if Chen Changsheng leaves the capital, Li Palace can guarantee his position.
This unprecedented situation has extremely complicated causes and conditions, which perfectly embodies the wisdom and patience of His Majesty the Pope.
As the successor, what Chen Changsheng needs to do now is to accept this arrangement and continue to improve his wisdom, patience, and strength.
He needs to live with wisdom and patience.
As long as he lives, he is the Pope.
Let's talk when the mountain flowers are in full bloom.
Not everyone can understand this matter, and few people understand the good intentions of the previous Pope's arrangement, as well as the determination and courage shown by Li Palace through this matter. When the shock dissipated, people saw The truth is simple.
——Chen Changsheng became Pope, but was expelled from the capital.
From anyone's point of view, this is a victory for the imperial court.
Many people thought that this was a tolerant gesture by Shang Xingzhou, who was unwilling to go to war with the state religion, nor to veto the Pope's will.
Tolerance is naturally condescending.
The Pope who is not in the Li Palace is no matter how you look at it.
Even more bleak than titular.
This is a pope in exile.
…
…
The orthodox year is officially over.
The rule of the Holy Empress Tianhai over this continent has become a page in the history books and has been turned over.
The Great Zhou Dynasty formally changed the Yuan Dynasty to the New Kingdom, and the north-south confluence declared success. When the spring returns to the land, countless affairs will be implemented. Now there are already many monks who have come to the north from the south of the sky to join the major military mansions.
The demon queen was executed, the demon king was killed, there was civil strife in Xuelao City, the Pope passed away, Vientiane was renewed, and the future of the mainland was bright.
There is no doubt that the human race will usher in the best era after His Majesty Taizong.
No one knew that on an ordinary winter day, the new Pope Chen Changsheng left the Orthodox Academy.
He went out of Baihua Lane, joined the crowd, walked along Luoshui River, passed the Naihe Bridge and the stone pillars in front of the Palace, left the city gate, and left the capital.
He had a letter in his arms, a sword around his waist, and an umbrella in his hand.
Beside him, there was a little girl in black.
The little girl was fresh and pleasant, but there was no expression on her face, she looked extraordinarily indifferent.
She held a pot of green leaves in her arms.
Chen Changsheng didn't walk quickly, but the little girl was very petite, and if she wanted to follow him, she had to move quickly.
As she walked, her black hair swayed and then fell in the cold wind, and the green leaves in her arms also swayed and then fell.
Those are not the sculls swaying in the spring breeze, but what she and the world should look like.
