Chapter 477 Why Live?
After Master Tan Yuan passed away and returned to the ruins, it was Master Tan Yuan who was buried by Chu Xiu and others.
Generally speaking, for the warriors of Daguangming Temple, they are used to leaving relics after passing away, not only to be enshrined by future generations, but also to integrate their own power into the relics, so as to do their last bit of strength for the disciples of future generations .
Tan Yuan had no disciples. Although both Chu Xiu and Fang Qishao had mastered Master Tan Yuan's skills, they were only teaching karma, not preaching. Therefore, Master Tan Yuan did not leave any relics or anything, but directly sent them to Tan Yuan. All the power in this body was directly dissipated, returning to the ruins between heaven and earth.
After Long Tianying finished the burial in grief, he cupped his hands with Chu Xiu and Fang Qishao: "Fang Shaoxia, Mr. Chu, I have completed the task of sending the master home, and I will go back to the East China Sea next, both of you." Farewell."
Chu Xiu nodded and said: "Chairman Long, go slowly. If you need to use me Chu Xiu in the future, you can just ask. If you can help, I will never refuse."
Long Tianying is a person who attaches great importance to friendship, and Chu Xiu can see this.
Of course, Chu Xiu wanted to make friends with Long Tianying not only because he valued friendship, but because Long Tianying had the ability, which might be useful in the future.
Although the Whale Sky Society is far away overseas, it still has to trade with the Central Plains. Let's not talk about its strength, but its financial resources are really not weak.
Long Tianying thanked Chu Xiu and left directly. He had a good feeling for Chu Xiu. At least Chu Xiu didn't turn his face and deny anyone after getting the inheritance power, but he wasn't as unbearable as in the legends .
But even so, Long Tianying would only make friends with Chu Xiu, and would not do anything for free like helping Master Tan Yuan.
Chu Xiu is only the successor of Master Tan Yuan's skills, not his disciple, so once Master Tan Yuan dies, the old kindness will naturally end, and it is impossible to pass it on to Chu Xiu.
After Long Tianying left, looking at the tomb of Master Tan Yuan in front of him, Fang Qishao suddenly sighed, and said with a rare serious expression: "Brother Chu, what do you think this person lives for? I always feel that Master Tan Yuan It's a bit of a disadvantage to live.
It is not a problem for a strong man in the Real Fire God Realm to live for more than 400 years. As a result, Master Tan Yuan has already been buried in the earth at the age of 100. Is it worthwhile to exchange his lifespan of more than 300 years for those lives? If he didn't die, maybe he could save more people. "
Chu Xiu stared ahead, squinted his eyes and said: "Sometimes accounts are not calculated like this. Only when you have thoughts in your heart can you achieve something. Ten thousand years is too long, and some people would rather seize the day.
For Master Tan Yuan, if he does not regret what he has done in the past hundred years, it is worth it. If you ask people what is the purpose of living, everyone will have a different answer, but if you die without regrets, That's worth it.
And you? Have you thought about what you are living for in this life? "
Fang Qishao was taken aback by Chu Xiu's question. He looked at the sword in his hand without blinking his eyes. He was usually silent for a long while.
It wasn't until half a quarter of an hour later that Fang Qishao said quietly: "Why do you live? It should be to live.
Do you feel that I talk a lot? "
Chu Xiu didn't speak. Fang Qishao didn't talk a lot, but a lot.
But Fang Qishao did not wait for Chu Xiu to answer, he continued: "I talk so much every day that I even get impatient with the brothers in Sword King City. It is because I am afraid that one day I will After he died, he just couldn't say so many words.
In fact, when I was young, I was very miserable, so miserable that I almost didn't have the opportunity to speak.
You know that in the Western Regions, big countries are in chaos, small countries are in chaos, and there are horse bandits and robbers everywhere.
When I was five years old, my village was slaughtered by bandits, and I escaped everything by hiding in a water tank.
After the robbers left, I still didn’t dare to get out of the water tank. It was not until three days later that I was so hungry that I couldn’t take it anymore, so I crawled out. But in the whole village, no one could speak anymore.
That was the first time I was so close to death, so since then, I don't like darkness, I don't like silence, as long as I can bathe in the sun every day and live, I am actually content. "
Chu Xiu looked at Fang Qishao with surprised eyes. If Fang Qishao hadn't revealed these secrets by himself, few people in the whole world would know that his background was so miserable, and Fang Qishao's request was also the same. generally low.
Most of the warriors in the Jianghu are fighting for fame and fortune, but since Chu Xiu met Fang Qishao, he really didn't pay much attention to such things as fame and fortune.
But now Chu Xiu knew that it wasn't that Fang Qishao didn't value fame and fortune, but that in his heart, nothing was more important than being alive.
Only those who have experienced death know the preciousness of life. In the horror between life and death, some things are not so important.
There was no sadness in Fang Qishao's tone when he said these things, as if he was just telling a simple story.
After finishing speaking, Fang Qishao smiled at Chu Xiu: "Brother Chu, you asked me this just now, but I told you all my privacy, how about you? What are you living for in this life? ?”
After pondering for a moment, Chu Xiu suddenly said: "If someone told you from the beginning that your fate is already doomed, will you accept your fate or resist?"
Fang Qishao said in amazement: "Are you kidding me? Nothing in this world is predestined from the beginning. If fate is truly unchangeable, then why would those masters of the Taoist sect and Buddhist sect who study the way of divination and divination study them?" If you are going to die anyway, then follow the destiny.
Even us fighters, if everything is really predestined, then why practice? Find a divination master to do a fortune telling for yourself. If you have no future prospects, no matter how hard you practice, it will be a waste of time. "
Chu Xiu said softly: "Yeah, nothing in this world is preordained from the beginning, the saying that man can conquer nature is very clichéd, although no one shouted it out, but everyone is still doing it.
You ask me why I live in this life, even I can't tell clearly, I just want to not be imprisoned by fate, and by the way, I want to stand on that peak and look at the scenery below. "
Fang Qishao raised his eyebrows and said, "How high is the peak?"
Chu Xiu stared at Fang Qishao, and said in a deep voice, "It's so tall that no one can stand taller than me!"
Fang Qishao was also staring at Chu Xiu. He finally realized that he and Chu Xiu were really two different kinds of people. His ambition was bigger than others imagined!
But at this moment, Fang Qishao showed a smile, broke the dignified atmosphere, and said with a chuckle: "Brother Chu, the higher you stand, the worse you will fall, you have to think about it gone."
Chu Xiu said lightly: "It's not terrible to fall from the peak, what's terrible is that you don't even have the qualifications to fall from the peak."
Fang Qishao shrugged. Although he talked more than Chu Xiu, it was a pity that he didn't know how to answer Chu Xiu's words now.
"By the way, Brother Chu, after the burial of Master Tan Yuan, are you going to return to the Guanzhong Torture Hall?" Fang Qishao asked, changing the subject.
Chu Xiu shook his head and said: "There is nothing wrong with the Guanzhong Criminal Hall for the time being, I have already come out, and I am not in a hurry to go back at this time.
I am going to visit a friend in the land of Western Chu, and then return to Guanzhong Torture Hall. "
The plan to go to West Chu was considered by Chu Xiu on the way here. Simply put, he went to West Chu for Lu Fengxian.
But Chu Xiu went to Lu Fengxian at this time, not just because he wanted to reminisce with Lu Fengxian, but because he wanted to help Lu Fengxian get the inheritance of the ancient demon god Lu Wenhou!
In the original plot, the place where Lu Fengxian was inherited was in Xichu, around this time period.
And now, despite Chu Xiu's interference, Lu Fengxian still returned to Xichu, but whether he will come or not is still a variable.
That's why Chu Xiu, who was still talking about man's determination to conquer the sky just now, is now hopeful, and the future has not changed.
Of course, it is no big deal even if it is changed. With the power that Chu Xiu can control now, Lu Fengxian was able to win the inheritance of Lu Wenhou by himself in the previous life. Now that there is more help from Chu Xiu, the chances are undoubtedly greater.
Those big names who are famous all over the world in later generations, they either climbed up step by step, or they got some kind of opportunity, soaring into the sky and turning into dragons.
The opportunity for Lu Fengxian to transform into a dragon lies in the inheritance of Lu Wenhou. Of course, even if Lu Fengxian does not have this inheritance, his strength is not weak, and he can compete with the disciples of those big schools.
It's just that things like martial arts are an innate factor, and the gap will widen in the later stage, and if Lu Fengxian can get the biography of Lu Wenhou, then the gap will be completely evened out.
There are very few people who use Fang Tian's painted halberd as a weapon in the rivers and lakes, and even fewer people can use Fang Tian's painted halberd to the realm of transformation. It can be said that Lu Wenhou's inheritance is basically prepared for Lu Fengxian. Even if you get it, you can't maximize its effect.
When Fang Qishao heard what Chu Xiu said, he suddenly smiled and said, "Brother Chu, how about I go with you? You go to West Chu to meet your friends, and I will also go to West Chu to visit the opening ceremony of Dong's family in Gaoling. join in the fun."
Chu Xiu's eyes were strange when he heard that, Lu Wenhou's inheritance was discovered during the Kaishan Festival.
The so-called mountain sacrifice is a tradition of some forces in the land of Western Chu that are close to the 100,000 mountains.
Most of the land of Western Chu is surrounded by wilderness and dense forests, so some sects or aristocratic families who live close to the mountains will organize manpower every once in a while to open up mountains and forests to develop that part of the dense forest.
In the barbarous land like the 100,000 mountains in Western Chu, there may be some dangers when cutting mountains, fierce beasts, evil beasts, or even some unexpected things. There will be sacrificial ceremonies, commonly known as Kaishan Sacrifice, which can be regarded as a feature of Western Chu.
