Chapter 127 Past events
It's easy to talk about, but how easy is it?
A hundred years ago, the Dao Sect was defeated and Xuandu collapsed, and the Destiny Sect began to exist in the world.
In the first forty years or so, the Destiny Sect had a very difficult life. This difficulty was not only because they did not have enough power, but also because the entire world at that time believed that they had no use value at all.
It obviously came from the split of Tiandao Sect, but it has no real inheritance. As a chess piece left when the Taoist sect was defeated, it had no branches to rely on in the era when the Taoist sects sealed the mountains for themselves.
If it is an ordinary evil heretic, like Wuyou Mountain, there will be princes and dukes in the world who are willing to buy swords.
The problem is that the Destiny Sect has never put interests first, but believes that it has a unique mission. For this reason, it has an irresolvable conflict with Da Qin - although the latter did not take it seriously at the time. .
No matter how you look at it, the Destiny Sect at that time was just a clown. Apart from making people laugh a few more times after dinner, it never had any impact on the human world.
Until the old man, or Lu Mingcheng...
To be more precise, it was the appearance of Taoist Yingxu.
"It was really not an easy time."
When the old man recalled the past, there was no sadness in his voice, but he was a little happy and a little proud.
He looked at Gu Zhuo's serious expression and said emphatically: "Don't talk about Zongshan, even a place to stay is hard to find, and the situation is precarious."
Gu Zhuo listened quietly.
The next moment, the old man's eyes became blank.
He seemed to have seen some scenes from many years ago, shook his head and said: "So now that I think about it, I really don't know why I got into this muddy water. I was obviously a little Taoist boy in Xuandu, and even the disciples It doesn’t count, and I have never had a master-disciple relationship with anyone. I finally got a great opportunity, so why not live an easy life?”
Gu Zhuo said: "People are always like this."
The old man subconsciously asked: "What is so?"
"It is said that with greater ability comes greater responsibility."
Gu Zhuo said calmly: "At certain times, I try to pay attention to some things that have nothing to do with me. However, doing nothing is often the best choice."
After hearing this, the old man was silent for a long time and then suddenly laughed.
"But people can't be quiet, except for dead people, right?"
"This is human nature."
"But?"
"Practice seeks transcendence, becoming an immortal, and letting go of these inexplicable emotions."
Gu Zhuo's tone was very calm, as if he was stating a fact: "The White Emperor has not been able to become an immortal because of this."
The old man thought about it carefully and said, "Then I don't regret it anymore."
Gu Zhuo asked: "Why?"
The old man smiled and said: "Because my life is considered wonderful, and it is difficult for me to imagine myself being unmoved by everything. Rather than living a boring life like that, seeking an immortal who I don't know exists or not, it would be better to It’s better to come like this.”
Gu Zhuo said no more.
Everyone has his own choice, just like he never did what he said.
The old man said sincerely: "The road is still long, and I want to continue telling the previous story."
Gu Zhuo nodded.
……
……
In the eyes of today's world or knowledgeable people, the Destiny Sect of the first 40 years and the last 60 years are two completely different existences, and the fundamental reason for all this is Yingxu.
The origin of Taoist Yingxu is extremely mysterious. People at that time only knew that he spent almost no effort and became an important figure in the Tianming Sect almost as a matter of course.
This is not something to celebrate.
At that time, the Tianming Sect was dying, and people's hearts had dispersed. They were already standing on the edge of the cliff, waiting for a moment to fall into the abyss and be shattered into pieces.
Taoist Yingxu will naturally not accept this situation. He has been busy with this for several years, but it is still difficult to stop the collapse of the building.
He was already old at that time, but those were the years he spent with spiritual practice, so he still had an indescribable enthusiasm for certain things and people in this world, because he really believed... believed in faith It can be scrubbed for a long time and still exist perfectly.
As long as such people find the right method, it will be really useful.
Yes, in the early days, some people in the Tianming Sect used the old man's hands to gain a lot of benefits for themselves.
Later, when the incident happened, the old man asked the man face to face why he did this, but he only received a sincere sentence.
Until the end of his life, he still remembered what those words said.
——Don’t try to pursue sublimity in this absurd world, that is the most stupid thing in the world.
……
……
"Then what?"
Gu Zhuo looked at the old man with rare curiosity.
The old man smiled, very cleanly, just like the answer he gave next.
"I think this sentence makes sense, so I killed this person."
He said: "Then I held a meeting in my name and killed everyone who I thought had problems."
……
……
The process of the story is exactly as described in the words.
The problem of the Destiny Sect is difficult to solve. It is a chronic disease accumulated over more than forty years. The old man can't think of how to solve it, so he has to directly solve the problem itself.
Just kill those people, and if there is a problem with the remaining people, kill them again.
As for the Destiny Sect after death, will it still be the Destiny Sect before?
Of course the old man had thought about this question, and the answer he came up with was... the Destiny Sect had deteriorated many years ago.
In the process of killing, he was seriously injured because almost everyone was against him.
But in the end he still killed everyone.
The reason is simple.
The old man at that time took this as an opportunity to break through and become immortal.
After emerging, everything went smoothly.
No one in the Tianming Sect opposes the old man anymore, everyone is acting according to his will. At least that's the case on the surface.
Time passed in an instant.
One year, the old man suddenly realized that this was not enough, because killing people could not really solve the problem.
At least killing people can't be convinced, and he needs many people to complete his thoughts, so he can only change his approach.
This is a very troublesome process.
Just like the old saying, a country is easy to change but its nature is hard to change - it is indeed not difficult to change a country outside Da Qin.
All in all, the old man learned a lot in this process, which at least allowed the Destiny Sect to start developing in accordance with his own intentions and no longer continue to follow the rules.
……
……
Gu Zhuo frowned slightly and asked, "So what does Tianming Cult mean to you?"
In this story, what he didn't understand the most was where the old man's strange sense of responsibility came from.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
The old man smiled and said: "It has a very special meaning, because at that time I wanted to prove myself, and reviving the Destiny Sect became what I had to do."
Such a vague answer is not much different from avoiding an answer.
Gu Zhuo didn't want to ask further, so he asked instead: "How many years has it been since the story ended here?"
The old man recalled for a moment and said: "Twenty-five years."
……
……
In the next thirty-five years, the Destiny Sect completely changed its image in the eyes of the world, from being a joke that was not worth mentioning to becoming the world-recognized No. 1 sect of demons.
This was a great honor, but at the same time it really attracted the attention of Great Qin.
Feathering is amazing.
With this state of mind, the old man supported the Tianming Sect alone, and was called the number one demon cultivator in the spiritual world.
However, there are four great people like the old man in Da Qin.
The Sky Patrol Division gave the Tianming Sect the greatest respect, which was mainly reflected in the fact that the mysterious leader of the Sky Patrol Division personally took action and had a head-on battle with the old man in the extreme northern wilderness.
The consequences of this battle are still felt today.
The head of the department went into seclusion after the battle, and all the power in his hands was handed over to Pei Jinge and Qing Xiaoyue, and he never returned to the world.
In fact, many people have privately thought about whether the boss was dead, but did not mourn in secret for some reason, such as... fearing that chaos would arise in the empire.
The old man was also seriously injured.
Logically speaking, what he should do most at this time is to stay in seclusion until he recovers, just like the boss.
Unfortunately, everyone knows that he never retreated for a moment and continued to walk around the world.
Duke Gungun in the Great Qin Temple was deeply surprised by this, and the Xuntian Division felt even more pressured, and spent huge manpower and material resources in order to find out what the Destiny Sect wanted.
The Tianming Sect suffered heavy losses as a result.
The person responsible for this matter is Qing Xiaoyue.
This was also the fundamental reason why the old man directly tried to kill him on the ship in the depths of Yunmeng.
……
……
"The next thing is the old incident seventeen years ago."
The old man's voice was not tired, but had a little regret.
He said: "I was very anxious at that time because I always felt that I didn't have much time left, so I decided to advance everything."
Gu Zhuo's expression remained unchanged and he said: "It eventually led to the natural disaster seventeen years ago."
After a moment of silence, the old man nodded and said, "And today's Yunmeng Guze."
For Gu Zhuo, things are now clear.
The old man stopped hiding anything.
"The reason why I entered the Tianming Sect back then was because I heard a rumor that I don't know whether it is true or not. The rumor was that the Taoist Master had not really left the world yet, and there was still a possibility of returning."
"Out of self-proof and curiosity, I decided to get involved in this muddy water and did the things I just told you, which ultimately led to a natural disaster."
"This accident made me very depressed. I was depressed about it for several years and had no interest in anything else in the world."
"Fortunately or unfortunately, the injuries accumulated over the years have been alleviated a lot, but it also allowed people to go to the broken Taoist temple by chance."
The person he was referring to was obviously the dean of Cheung Chau Academy.
Gu Zhuo said calmly: "And then you learned of my appearance?"
The old man nodded slightly and said: "My old friend told me that there is a reincarnation of the Taoist Master in the world, and he thought I would be interested."
Gu Zhuo said: "He wants you to die."
"Although I am an old friend with that person, this relationship does not affect his desire to kill me. After all, we are on opposite sides."
The old man smiled calmly, without any hint of resentment or regret, and said, "I think this relationship is really interesting. It is the least boring thing in my life experience since I left Xuandu Mountain a hundred years ago."
Gu Zhuo thought to himself that this was indeed a very good relationship.
Both enemies and friends.
I want to live and die.
"But..."
The old man turned his head, raised his hand to lift the curtain of the car window, looked at the increasingly brighter sky in the distance, and said warmly: "What I miss most is the time when I lived in the mountains and when I was a Taoist boy."
< br>
He thought for a while and seriously found a reason for himself.
"This may be because I have been a Taoist boy in front of the Taoist master for many years."
