Chen Changsheng suddenly asked: "Is it possible that the Longevity Sect colluded with the demons?"
Zhexiu said: "The ancestral court of the Southern School of Taoism is famous and authentic. It doesn't make sense."
What he said makes no sense because it is not based on moral judgments, but from the perspective of interests.
The so-called betrayal always seeks benefits. The foundation of Changshengzong lies in the human race and Taoist sect. What benefits can they gain by colluding with the demon race
Chen Changsheng said: "But have you ever thought about it, if it wasn't for the collusion with Xuelaocheng, how could the Changshengzong be able to capture Qijian's mother back then?"
This is indeed a problem.
The whereabouts of that demon princess back then must have been extremely secretive, logically speaking, she shouldn't have been caught by the Longevity Sect so easily.
"After hearing what you said about Xueling just now, I have been thinking about this question."
Zhexiu said: "The Longevity School was killed by Su Li too hard. Even if there is still some potential in the south, there is no way to hide it in the Songshan Military Mansion."
Chen Changsheng looked into his eyes and said, "What if there are other helpers?"
Zhexiu understood what he meant, and the chill in his eyes vanished as soon as it appeared.
They went to Wenshui on this trip to pick up a friend, and now it seems that they will inevitably have to ask some more questions.
The night shrouded the Gobi, and there was a faint growling sound in the distance. It might be that wild beasts were gnawing on the corpses.
Qijian's parents have been mentioned many times in previous conversations, and the topic continued along this line.
Chen Changsheng asked, "How long has it been since you two saw each other?"
Zhexiu thought for a while and said, "Five years?"
Time is not fast or slow, it is easy to be numb and forget many things.
Chen Changsheng asked, "Do you remember her?"
Zhexiu thought about running wildly in the garden of Zhou, living and dying together in the grassland where the sun never sets, he carried her on his back, and she showed him the way, the lines of his face gradually softened.
He didn't answer Chen Changsheng's question, because he didn't need to answer, like he didn't need to remember, because he never forgot.
"Don't worry, after you are cured, we will accompany you to Lishan to propose marriage, of course, if she has not forgotten you."
"How can the famous sect in the south of the sky look down on a lonely ghost like me, and in the eyes of the world, I am a monster."
"You are not a lonely ghost, you are the vice president of the Orthodox Academy, and besides... Lishan is different after all."
"What about you? How is Xu Yourong doing now? The world hasn't heard from her for a long time."
Hearing Zhe Xiu's words, Chen Changsheng became quiet, his brows and eyes full of longing and worry.
The letter from Wenshui City stopped for half a year, and the letter from Shengnvfeng has not been received for almost two years, and he and she have not seen each other for three years.
"She's in retreat."
Chen Changsheng was silent for a moment, then continued: "Shut up."
Ascetics will only practice the death test at the most critical moment, because this is a very dangerous practice method. No one knows when they will be able to break through. It is possible for months, years, decades, or even Sitting directly in the cave.
Xu Yourong's talent is astonishing, so her retreat is bound to be different, presumably the risk is even greater.
But Zhexiu could understand why Xu Yourong chose to retreat to death.
The Jungfrau Peak needs a real saint, and the Li Palace needs a real ally.
Then she needs to break through that threshold and enter the sacred realm in the shortest possible time.
Zhe Xiu didn't know what to say when he was afraid, so he reached out and patted Chen Changsheng's shoulder to express his comfort.
They haven't seen each other for three years, and they talked a lot more than they did back then, but after all, they are all people who are not good at words, unlike the guy in Wenshui City.
At this time, a figure suddenly appeared on the distant mountain ridge, and at the same time, there was a strong and indifferent voice.
"No matter who you are, don't try to escape."
At this moment, Chen Changsheng and Zhexiu had a certain illusion, as if that guy had really appeared.
The figure walked down from the mountain ridge and finally came to them.
It's not that guy, but this guy and that guy are indeed similar in some ways, so when they met, they were at each other's throats, wishing they could fight each other with swords.
That man was a swordsman, covered in dust, but he couldn't hide his heroic aura.
Chen Changsheng and Zhexiu had just talked about Li Shan for a long time, when Li Shan really came to someone.
Guan Feibai, the fourth of the Seven Laws of the Kingdom of God, a swordsman genius in Lishan, is only inferior to Lord Qiushan in terms of talent.
Suddenly seeing Chen Changsheng who had disappeared for three years in the desolate northern rocky mountains, Guan Feibai was of course very surprised, he opened his mouth not knowing what to say.
Then he remembered that Chen Changsheng was no longer an ordinary student of the Orthodox Academy, but was already His Majesty the Pope.
They are acquaintances, but the disciples of Lishan Sword Sect's generation are very different from their master and uncle, and they don't have the idea of informality.
He saluted Chen Changsheng and said, "I greet His Majesty the Pope."
Chen Changsheng had already got up and returned the gift earnestly.
Guan Feibai had a lot of questions he wanted to ask, but he hesitated to speak.
Chen Changsheng asked, "Why are you here?"
Guan Feibai said: "I was ordered to go out of Yonglanguan to investigate the enemy's situation. I accidentally discovered that there was a change in the people and bears, so I followed the clues to find it."
Zhexiu glanced at him, with a surprised expression on his face: "Are you a scout?"
Guan Feibai raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you allowed to do it?"
It seems that there are not many changes from the time of the Great Imperial Examination and the time in Tianshu Mausoleum.
Among the inner disciples of Lishan Sword Sect's generation, the only one Chen Changsheng had any resistance to was Guan Feibai.
The reason is simple, his temperament is too hard, his temper is bad, too violent, and he never speaks for mercy, in some respects, he is somewhat similar to Tang Thirty-Six.
Except for friends from the same camp, no one would like this kind of person, just like the Orthodox Academy in the eyes of the world, the one who hates the most is always surnamed Tang.
Later, Chen Changsheng's perception of Guan Feibai changed a lot. It wasn't because of the relationship between Tianshu Ling and the Boiled Stone Conference, but when the Orthodox Academy was suppressed by the court and no one dared to support... Guan Feibai came.
He said a few mild words to Chen Changsheng, and then asked Chen Changsheng to send him out of the hospital himself.
It was an attitude, and he didn't mind having it seen by the whole of Kyoto.
Chen Changsheng was very grateful and said thank you.
Guan Feibai said you're welcome.
For these young people who have experienced Xun Mei's breakthrough in the divine way and Wang Po's farewell, these two sentences represent a very important meaning.
From now on, we are friends.
"You all killed them?"
Guan Feibai pointed to the mountain ridge behind.
Chen Changsheng looked at Zhe Xiu.
Zhexiu didn't speak, because he didn't like talking.
Chen Changsheng had no choice but to explain it himself.
"In the past few years, the human bears and the demons have been colluding secretly. It was only last year that they came closer to each other when they saw our strength. The foundation is not clean and they are easy to be driven by others." Guan Feibai looked at him and asked: "Question The point is, who is going to kill you?"
Chen Changsheng said, "We are going to Wenshui."
Guan Feibai understood the simple sentence, and asked after a moment of silence, "Is that guy okay?"
