Fighter of the Destiny

Sadness is just an emotion, it does not mean despair. The little black dragon lowered his head, looked at the tracks on the snow, and began to think and calculate quickly. How much strength did the golden dragon royal family lose when it returned from a foreign continent and broke through the crystal wall? Shang Xingzhou was able to easily defeat it, naturally relying on the advantage of his home field, and he must have been prepared in advance. How to accurately determine this person's true realm through this battle? If my chains were opened, what chance would I have of defeating this person?

Chen Changsheng guessed what she was thinking and said, Stop thinking about it.

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 under the Beixin Bridge and asked her to be Chen Changsheng's guardian. He mainly valued the complicated relationship between the Xuanshuang Dragon Clan and Baidi City.

Hearing the term guardian again, Chen Changsheng was silent for a while and suddenly said: Do you know who my master's guardian was back then?

The little black dragon shook his head.

Chen Changsheng looked towards the direction where the man in the snow had just disappeared, and said, Uncle Master told me that night...Master did not choose a guardian back then.

A strange color flashed in the little black dragon's eyes.

Chen Changsheng continued: Master believes that cultivating Taoism cannot rely on external objects or others. He alone is enough.

The little black dragon was silent.

Such people are terrible.

…

The night has passed and dawn has passed, the wind and snow are still covering Kyoto, and the mainland has ushered in a new year.

Many important events happen on the first day of the new year, such as the official change of the year in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the new owner of the Li Palace.

At the New Year's Ceremony in the Imperial Palace, something happened that shocked the entire continent.

In accordance with the decree left by His Majesty the Pope and the edict of state religion that had been promulgated in advance for the world, Chen Changsheng became the new pope.

However, he did not appear at the New Year Ceremony, and he could not be seen in the Guangming Main Hall. Naturally, there was no so-called enthronement ceremony. This news triggered countless shocking discussions. Whether it was the Rikyu priests, the teachers and students of the Ivy Academy, or the ordinary people in Kyoto, they all felt very confused and felt a lot of uneasiness.

Amidst all the turmoil, Li Gong gave an authoritative explanation.

On the Dagao there are the Taoist blood seals of the five giants and Chen Changsheng's autograph.

Because His Majesty the Pope is too young and does not have enough time to practice Taoism, he is determined to enter the world to practice and realize the way of heaven in the world of mortals.

When will you return? No one knows, and there is no answer in the imperial edict, but it is written very clearly that His Majesty the Pope can return to Beijing and ascend the throne at any time.

The Pope is not leaving the palace, but is hiding incognito and cultivating in the world?

This is the first time in history that such a situation has occurred.

The emotions of shock and confusion filled the entire Kyoto and even the entire continent, so much so that many people did not remember the new era name of the Zhou Dynasty.

When these emotions were finally diluted by time, people looked back at the past year and recalled the things that His Majesty the predecessor Pope had done, and then they vaguely understood something - all of these were the fault of His Majesty the predecessor Pope. arrange.

If Chen Changsheng stays in Kyoto, the court will feel extremely uneasy, and this uneasiness will inevitably lead to war.

His leaving Kyoto will make the court...more precisely, make Shang Xingzhou feel much more at ease.

Although until now, few people understand why Shang Xingzhou is so wary, repulsive, and disgusted with Chen Changsheng's existence.

Just like what Chen Changsheng had figured out a long time ago, just like what Shang Xingzhou lamented in the wind and snow at the National Education College last night, if we hate each other, we will disappear.

Give the master and apprentice some time and some distance.

Give some time and some distance between the imperial court and the state religion.

Give the world and its people a chance.

It doesn't necessarily need a war, it doesn't necessarily have to be a matter of life and death.

Chen Changsheng is still the Pope.

It’s just that I can’t stay in Kyoto, I can’t stay in the Imperial Palace.

Even if this endgame ends up being a fight to the death, at least there will be some room for maneuver.

Problems that cannot be solved now will be solved in the future, or when both parties have more wisdom.

This is the arrangement made by His Majesty the previous Pope, and now it seems that it is also the best solution.

Of course, His Majesty the former Pope's arrangements had more details to ensure that even if Chen Changsheng left Kyoto, he could maintain his position even if he left the palace.

This unprecedented situation has extremely complex causes and conditions, which perfectly reflects 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 wisdom and patience to survive.

As long as he lives, he is the Pope.

Let’s talk about it when the mountain flowers are in full bloom.

Not everyone can understand this matter, and few people understand the good intentions of His Majesty the former Pope in this arrangement, and the determination and courage shown by Li Gong through this matter. After the shock dissipated, people saw The truth is simple.

——Chen Changsheng succeeded the Pope, but was kicked out of Kyoto.

No matter who looks at it, this is a victory for the imperial court.

Many people believed that this was a tolerant gesture made by Shang Xingzhou because he did not want the court to go to war with the state religion or veto the Pope's decree.

Tolerance is naturally condescending.

The pope who is not in the palace seems to be in name only.

Even more bleak than in name only.

This is an exiled pope.

…

…

The orthodox calendar has officially ended.

Queen Tianhai's rule over this continent has become a page in the history books and has been opened.

The Great Zhou Dynasty officially changed its name to the Yuan Dynasty, and the merger of the north and the south was announced as a success. When spring returns to the earth, countless affairs will be put into place. There are already many monks who have come to the north from the south of the sky to join the major military offices.

The Demon Queen was killed, the Demon Lord was killed, Xue Lao City was in civil strife, the Pope passed away, everything was renewed, and the future of the continent 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 Chinese Academy of Education.

He left Baihua Lane, joined the crowd, walked along Luoshui River, passed Naihe Bridge and the stone pillars in front of the Li Palace, exited the city gate, and left Kyoto.

He had a letter in his arms, a sword tied 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, which made her look particularly indifferent.

She held a pot of green leaves in her arms.

Chen Changsheng didn't walk very fast, but the little girl was very petite, so if she wanted to keep up with him, she had to walk fast.

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.

That was not the sculls swinging in the spring breeze, but what she and the world should look like.

(When I first wrote the Pope's Qingye, I was thinking of Lyon, and I just wanted to write this scene, so the name of the little black dragon should really be Matilda.)
