History needs to be studied, and those who create history deserve respect. Qingxunzi is a person who transcends time and space, which makes Xia Xiao admire him again and again, but before he can express his respect, Qingxunzi continues to talk. He can't stop, and he begins to show his past in front of his apprentice with great effort, as if he is revealing his scars to him so that he can learn some lessons. It is also like an elder teaching his younger generation, like a kind of sharing, and it has a deep meaning.
"Humanity struggled in the dark ages, facing enemies not only wild beasts but also sea beasts. The Human Emperor launched several large-scale wars, which greatly increased the territory of mankind. However, due to the heavy losses, they were not recorded in history books, but I have never forgotten that the longest war lasted for 201 years, and humans had the upper hand!"
"In countless battles, practitioners who were stronger than me all died on the battlefield, but I was lucky to survive. History has been kind to me, after all, a lot of it was created by me. My strength has been growing, but I still haven't been truly valued by the Human Emperor. The strong people around her have changed a lot, both old and young, and there are countless up-and-coming people. I have no chance to interrupt, but I am still her shadow. But apart from silently accompanying her, I can't do anything else. At that time, I couldn't play a big role."
"Afterwards, a war broke out with a confusing truth. The so-called God's throne was fought over fiercely. Later I thought about it and it was just a bait. It is impossible to confirm whether it exists or not. But the Human Emperor won. I witnessed her leaving the Great Wilderness and rushing into a door without looking back, entering another brand new world."
Qing Xunzi raised his head slightly and nodded. Although the corners of his mouth were curled, his eyes were full of sadness.
"In that battle, all three forces were required to evacuate the South China Sea and the Wild Beast Tail, but many people like me approached secretly, hoping to win some chances for our side. However, the battle between the Human Emperor and the Wild Beast King caused the Wild Beast Tail to burn with life and turned into a wasteland. Countless powerful wild beasts retreated in the air wave and died in it. While I was severely injured, I used the absorption method taught by the Human Emperor to absorb the remaining vitality. I obtained a large amount of vitality in an incredible way, and my strength once again broke through the shackles."
"That was the closest time I was to death, but in the purgatory-like flames, I was finally reborn. I frantically searched for the figure of the Human Emperor in the strong wind caused by the vitality, but after running for thousands of miles, I only grabbed a few strands of her hair. It's funny, just a few strands of hair, but there is a strong vitality. I absorbed the vitality to strengthen myself, and stayed in the tail corner of the wild beast for nearly a hundred years. After waking up, my strength was still not strong enough compared to the Human Emperor, so I continued to practice, and gradually gained a pretty good cultivation under the changes of the sun and the moon. In today's words, I have calculated the Tao, so I can reach this level today, but without the teachings of the Human Emperor and those strands of hair, it would be difficult for me to have the foundation to walk in the world for ten thousand years. If I don't walk and witness the suffering of the world, my strength will not improve. But as early as ten thousand years ago, I encountered another bottleneck that I couldn't get through. I guess this is the real gap between me and the Human Emperor."
At this point, Qing Xunzi finished his story. Although the details in each sentence could fill another book, he did not talk endlessly. Xia Xiao looked at his master and could inexplicably sense his strong desire to get closer to the Emperor. He might not want to be the Emperor's partner, but he wanted to follow her and become her shadow again.
The great Pope has been promoting peace and morality for ten thousand years. Although he is not as famous as the Emperor, his perseverance and strength make him very prestigious and majestic. But in front of the Emperor, he will always be the timid young man who has a crush on her, even if his hair and beard are white.
Qing Xunzi has the purest admiration for the Human Emperor, a feeling that is different from admiration, and different from simple love between men and women, and even less than the sum of the two. He wants to follow the Human Emperor and stay by her side, but his strength is insufficient, and he is always lacking something, and he is a little distant from her.
Qing Xunzi looked at the side of the sky, and there was a moon outside, and he couldn't help but sigh. After trying for thousands of years, he still couldn't get rid of the shackles of the wilderness, which was really sad. But the door from this world to the next world seemed to be closed, otherwise how could he not get out?
Qing Xunzi is self-aware and knows that some loves, no matter how they develop, will never bear fruit from the beginning. However, he has been constantly gaining insights and trying, trying to push open the door and walk into the world outside.
The moon was very close to the wilderness, at least it was visible, and Qing Xunzi was motivated again. But before he knew it, tears welled up in his old eyes.
Seeing this, Xia Xiao did not mention the brand again, thinking that his master must not know either. He was sure that what Que Dan said at that time was just his subjective conjecture. The reason why his master was not famous before was only because he was not strong enough at that time, not because the Emperor stayed in the world to wait for him and supervise him.
Qing Xunzi has always been hunchbacked, but in Xia Xiao's heart he is extremely tall. But now he hugs him, like a grandfather and grandson, standing on the vast grassland, looking into the distance at the horizon.
"We'll see each other sooner or later, she said. It'll take at least a hundred years for us to come back."
"I've waited for ten thousand years, a hundred years is nothing, but I still hope to run to her, rather than to see her come back."
Xia Xiao's concept of time was not as vague as his master's, and he always felt that he would not live to be a hundred years old. In fact, as long as a practitioner entered the realm of the Supreme, it was very easy to live to be a hundred years old, because he controlled the vital energy and could respond to the heaven and earth by breathing in and out.
But a hundred years later, half of his family was gone, so he didn't care much about the future, only the present and the next few decades. The happiest time was also then, he first let his mother, children and grandchildren fill the house, so in recent years, he must deal with these troubles. Xia Xiao's idea is good, but today's chat is over, Qing Xunzi joked:
"I'm thirsty from talking so much, let's go! We'll talk about the demonic energy next time."
Xia Xiao's curiosity was satisfied, and he also confirmed something, so he immediately performed a great ceremony. Qing Xunzi didn't even turn his head, but just said:
"Go find Shangshan. This girl is so pitiful."
"Master, you should have some pity on me. What will happen to Ah Zhu if I leave?"
"That depends on your ability. Anyway, Shangshan is a bomb, just as dangerous as gunpowder. If you use it properly, it will be an excellent weapon. If you don't care, you might end up blowing yourself up one day."
Qingxunzi smiled after he finished speaking. This was clear enough. The rest depended on how Xia Xiao handled it. If he didn't go to Shangshan, it would be fine. Anyway, Xia Xiao had to make his own decisions and bear the consequences.
Seeing the master leaving, Xia Xiao walked towards Shangshan's carriage. If she went, she would be sorry for Ah Zhu. Although she was carefree, any girl could not stand such grievance. But if she didn't go, she would be sorry for the master's teachings. She obviously hoped that she would go.
Finally, Xia Xiao decided to go, but he had to inform Ah Zhu first, so as not to offend her. How could Xia Xiao feel good if Ah Zhu was unhappy? Ah Zhu was open-minded this time. Seeing that Xia Xiao told her first, she was very happy, so she agreed to go, and then sat by the window, watching Xia Xiao and Shang Shan walk towards the open space over there.
"If you dare to make a move, I'll break your legs!"
Ah Zhu stared at Xia Xiao, fearing that he would do something bad. Xia Xiao knew she was watching, so he kept his hands behind his back, but his words remained the same, just like usual.
