Fighter of the Destiny

Your life is mine.

When he said this, Shang Xingzhou's expression was very calm, as if he was telling the simplest but most unquestionable 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 when fried in vegetable oil.

After hearing this sentence, Chen Changsheng naturally thought of the most famous scene during the civil strife in Lishan that year.

King and subject, father and son, master and apprentice, are the three most difficult rules to break in the world.

At that time, the head of the Akiyama family said the words father and son. A great figure like Akiyama-kun had to pierce his own 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 master and disciple completely broke out, Shang Xingzhou would definitely use the righteousness of master and disciple to attack him. Su Moyu and other teachers and students of the National Education Academy and the priests in the palace were deeply worried about this, but they could not think of a good way to deal with it for Chen Changsheng.

Of course Chen Changsheng was mentally prepared for this. He had imagined such a scene many times, so he was not surprised.

He didn't speak, more because he was reminiscing.

Listening to the master's voice, I remembered the scene of leaving the mountain, looking at the winter trees by the lake, and thinking of what Tang Sanliu said.

That was a long time ago.

At that time, he and Tang Sanliu were standing on the big banyan tree, looking at Kyoto under the setting sun, the imperial palace nearby and the palace in the distance.

Tang Sanshiliu said a lot of things, many of which were related to vigilance, which could also be understood as bad words for his master.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Changsheng remembered the night when the Pope returned to the sea of ​​​​stars. He walked alone on the snow outside the palace for a long time.

Before that, he had already told the Pope how he would understand and treat this master-disciple relationship.

He is not the Lord of Qiu Shan, and the merchant is not the head of the Qiu Shan family. There is no point in killing oneself with a sword.

He didn't know that his senior fellow apprentice Yu Ren had tried similar methods in the palace, and even if he knew, he wouldn't follow them.

Because this method must be based on one basis - the head of the Qiu Shan family loves Qiu Shan Jun, and Shang Xingzhou loves Yu Ren.

Chen Changsheng calmly determined the cold fact that his master had never liked him.

The moment he figured it out, he gained true freedom and peace.

Then just like he said to the Pope, just like Tang Sanshiliu taught him, just speak.

Thank you. Chen Changsheng looked at Shang Xingzhou and said.

Regardless of those disgusting and ugly conspiracies and the shameless harm to babies, you saved me in the creek and raised me, so... thank you.

Then, there is no more.

He looked across the snow with a calm expression, his eyes bright, without saying another 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 your living expenses back for these years? So, how much is the total?

When he spoke, he looked very serious, not joking at all.

Because this matter is nothing to joke about.

Even if I admit that you saved my life, I have already thanked you, what else do you want?

Need living expenses? You say, I will give it all back to you, I already have money, and I also have a very rich friend.

Back then, when Tang Sanliu said these words on the big banyan tree, his eyebrows flew up, as if they were burning in the dusk. He was so proud.

Chen Changsheng couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips as he recalled the scene at that time.

Shang Xingzhou also started to laugh.

His laughter was clear and clear, completely inconsistent with his age and experience. It was completely different from the silent and inconspicuous middle-aged Taoist in Chen Changsheng's memory.

The snow on the big banyan tree fell softly.

The laughter suddenly stopped.

In the whole world, only you and me, master and disciple, know why I won't let you stay in Kyoto.

Shang Xingzhou looked at Chen Changsheng and said coldly, Because you are His Majesty's only weakness or loophole.

Many people don't understand why Shang Xingzhou has such a tough attitude toward Chen Changsheng. That's because they don't know the relationship between Yu Ren and Chen Changsheng.

When it was snowing heavily a few days ago, His Majesty the young emperor stood in the snow, blocking the way of Shang Xingzhou. The jade pendant paid tribute by the Qiu Shan family leader swayed gently. His determination and will temporarily saved Chen Changsheng's life, and deepened his feelings again. Shang Xingzhou's fear.

What will happen if someone uses Chen Changsheng to threaten others 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, what would be the outcome with the power of the Pope and the emotions of others towards him?

Chen Changsheng understood, but did not accept it. He said seriously to Shang Xingzhou: Master, you should know very well that I am not such a person.

Shang Xingzhou's expression did not change at all, and he said, People change.

He has lived in this world for thousands of years, and has seen too many changes in scenery, vicissitudes of the sea, and many changes in people's hearts.

He knew very well that with changes in status and power, or even sometimes just because of seats, once-loyal subordinates would become traitorous, and comrades who once shared life and death would turn against each other. Brothers turning against each other was a rare thing in the Great Zhou Dynasty. This has long been the case in North Korea's history.

Chen Changsheng has never seen the old things in the storm, and he is still a young man like the new wind of early spring.

Although he has seen a lot of decay and darkness now.

He said seriously to Shang Xingzhou: I will not 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 Taoist intention.

Chen Changsheng said: Master, you believe that you can do what you want and will never be greedy for power and glory in the world, so why don't you believe me?

Shang Xingzhou said: Because I know very well where my heart is, but you are still too young and don't know what your heart is, so how can you hold it?

Chen Changsheng now naturally knows that his master's lifelong pursuit is to fulfill His Majesty Emperor Taizong's will, destroy the demon clan, seek a truly bright future for the human race, and establish an unchanging foundation for the Great Zhou Dynasty, and he will not hesitate to do so. At any cost...

Among the portraits on Lingyan Pavilion, how many of the legendary heroes in the portraits died at the hands of Taoist Ji?

In order to overthrow the rule of Holy Queen Tianhai, how many people have died in this world, and how many more people will die?

Shang Xingzhou firmly believed that the things he did were correct and that he was right without any guilt or pressure.

His Taoist heart is always bright, as light as a feather, turning around at will, traveling up to the blue sky and swimming in the seven seas, and like a rock, so what if there is a flood?

Chen Changsheng also cultivates according to his heart, so he naturally understands.

Because I understand, but I don’t feel compassion in my heart, I only feel a sense of vigor.

He clearly saw the only loophole in Shang Xingzhou's method.

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 am the only loophole for senior brother, but there is a more important reason.

Chen Changsheng looked into Master's eyes and said, You are afraid of seeing me.
