Chapter 503 Just Ask What You Have Done in Your Life
not worth it.
What Jing Jiu said was that Liu Ci stood in front of Yin San at the last moment, covered the sky with his palms, and blocked the thunder and fire.
Even if Liu Ci is that ghost, he shouldn't do this, it's not something a monk should do.
In Jianzhou, Liu Ci and Mo Chi had talked about the relationship between Qingshan and the word Unbearable, but he didn't explain it to Jing Jiu.
He knew that even if Jing Jiu understood, he would not agree.
Back then when he climbed Defeng, because he was greedy for Songhai, he was a few steps behind Yuan Qijing, and he became a junior.
Daoist Taiping was not angry, but rather liked it, while Jing Jiu didn't respond at all.
The first time Liu Ci saw him was that he was sitting by the cliff looking at the sea of clouds in a daze.
Then he was in a daze, whether it was by the cliff or in the cave, or at the card table, or facing the hot pot.
At that time Daoyuan Daoist was dead, so was the patriarch, and the head of the sect fell aside, and Shangdefeng was under great pressure.
The young man didn't seem to feel anything, just sat there in a daze.
Liu Ci thought to himself that this little uncle is a fool for practicing Taoism.
It wasn't until later that Daoist Taiping took them to eat hot pot and walked towards Mo Chengfeng. He watched how many elders his little uncle killed with his own eyes, and then he realized that he was the fool.
From that day on, he realized that his uncle was a natural ascetic, and he was the object that all ascetics should learn from.
It's just a pity that most people can't reach this level, including himself.
But Liu Ci found out that Jing Jiu had changed a little over the years.
He asked: "Back then, Master promised that chickens and dogs would go to heaven, and he drew out the divine soul from the fate card, but I know you must still have a second hand, otherwise you wouldn't always carry that little bamboo card with you. When senior brother asked you to do it, why didn't you kill Yinfeng?"
"It's your master I want to kill, not anyone else. If Xiaosi doesn't want to kill me, I won't think about touching him either."
Jing Jiu thought about the scene of Xi Hai during the day, and said indifferently, "I just didn't expect so many people to support him."
"The nine peaks of Qingshan are all Shangde Peak. After all, he is our master. Even if they were young at that time, they can still remember something."
Liu Ci sighed: "Master was imprisoned in the Sword Prison by the three of us, how many do you think there are?"
Jing Jiu was silent for a while, then said, "Maybe in their eyes, I am the ghost."
"As I said, the biggest problem with you and Master is thinking too much."
Liu Ci said: "How can there be so many ghosts? Mochi is not, and neither am I, but if you keep looking, you will find more and more ghosts."
Jing Jiu remembered what he said to Zhao Layue at Shenmo Peak.
——Everyone has ghosts in their hearts, so everyone looks like a ghost.
This sentence is not exactly the same as what Liu Ci said, but the meaning is roughly the same.
Liu Ci thinks that he is not a ghost, that is because he has no ghosts in his heart, so why did he release Daoist Taiping from the sword prison?
This is the most important question, and it is also the answer that Jing Jiu most wants to know tonight.
...
...
The starlight fell on the cosmic front and was reflected to the peak, making the night even clearer.
Liu Ci stretched out his finger and fiddled with the starlight lightly, and said: "At that time, your ascension was a foregone conclusion. I had to think about what to do after Qingshan. My senior brother and I still had more than a hundred years of life left at that time. After we die, who will support the situation? Even if Xiaosi and Guangyuan can break through, can they replace us?"
Although a hundred years is a long time, for ascetics who have been retreating all year round, it may even be just a few moments.
Jing Jiu didn't like the aura in Liu Ci's words at this time, so he called back Universe Feng, leaving him with no stars to play, and said, "The Green Mountain Formation can protect itself."
Liu Ci withdrew his fingers and said: "As Nan Chi said today, Qingshan cannot be defeated, once defeated, he will be defeated, and for Qingshan, self-preservation means defeat."
Jing Jiu said, "I didn't hear that."
Liu Ci didn't argue with him, and continued: "The Qingshan Sect has been strong for too many years, offended too many people, and the Liangwang Peak disciples have killed too much outside."
Jing Jiu said, "At the beginning I didn't agree to build Liangwang Peak, is it interesting?"
"So you took the Fuji sword away, and I didn't say anything."
Liu Ci smiled and said, "But I'm the head of the sect, and I'm different from you. I always have to think about what's going on behind me."
Jing Jiu said, "So you let him go."
Liu Ci said: "That's right, Master has always believed that Qingshan is his Qingshan, and he will definitely think about returning to Qingshan one day, so that he won't just watch Qingshan decline."
Jing Jiu said, "Aren't you afraid of his revenge?"
Liu Ci glanced at him and said, "It was the three of us who did it back then. At that time, I thought you were going to leave, and my brother and I were going to die sooner or later. What's there to be afraid of?"
Jing Jiu was silent for a while, then said, "There is some truth to it."
What kind of person is Taiping Daoist, not to mention helpers like Lao Lin, Xuanyin Patriarch, and Emperor Xiao, but he alone is enough to change the situation of the entire continent.
As long as he is alive and guarding quietly in the world, nothing will happen to Qingshan, at least nothing serious will happen.
Daoist Taiping is like a tiger crouching in the night.
What Liu Ci did was to let the tiger out of the mountain.
What he didn't expect was that someone actually came back.
Jing Jiu never did things like seeking skins from tigers, and always stayed away from all dangers. Even though he felt that Liu Ci's ideas were reasonable, he still disagreed with his actions, saying, "You sometimes think this way, sometimes you think that way, and your actions are too clingy, just like the Zhongzhou School, not as good as your apprentice."
Of course he was talking about Zhuo Rusui.
Liu Ci was a little displeased, not because he was said to be inferior to his apprentice, but because he was said to be like the Zhongzhou School.
Jing Jiu continued, "You have been like this since you were young. Back then, I really shouldn't have chosen you as the head."
Liu Ci said calmly: "Then you come."
...
...
The summit was silent.
Jianzhou was very clear under the starlight.
There was a faint meowing sound, and it looked very comfortable.
...
...
Hearing Liu Ci's words, Jing Jiu didn't even think about it, so he was ready to say no, just like before, he refused directly, even if he felt a little uncomfortable being bullied.
Tonight he was silent.
He was silent for a long time.
Liu Ci looked at him and smiled and said, "Only the sect master can hold Chengtian's scabbard. Answer me after you think it through."
The sword had already returned to its sheath, and if Jing Jiu didn't want anything to happen, he had to ensure that Cheng Tian's scabbard was in the hands of someone he absolutely trusted.
Who in the world is more trustworthy than yourself?
It turned out that Liu Ci's invitation had another meaning, that it was waiting for him here.
...
...
The first time Jing Jiu failed to answer this question directly, he said, "I never thought I would fall into your plan."
Liu Ci said: "Master, he has been shrewd all his life, so he was also forgotten by the two juniors of the Zhongzhou Sect?"
Jing Jiu said: "They have inherited the ideas of San Yue, but they are smarter than San Yue. The brothers have met their opponents."
These two sentences seem ordinary, but they are actually extremely high praises for Bai Zao and Tong Yan.
Today is not Liu Ci, Yin Sanzhen may have died on Shaoming Island.
The Zhongzhou faction calculated without omission, the catastrophe caused by the immortal talisman could kill anyone on Chaotian Continent.
That is to say, if Liu Ci has a sword today, he should cut the south trend first, and only when his aura is at its peak can he take it.
Of course, Liu Ci also paid a huge price for this.
Thinking of this, Jing Jiu felt a little emotional.
Liu Ci was a little moved, and said: "The Taoist talisman is a secondary talisman, it has no sense of immortality, and its power is not bad."
Jing Jiu couldn't help but said, "What a fart."
Liu Ci was very moved, and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, I won't die tonight, and I should live for a few more years."
For those at the peak of the Heaven-reaching Realm with a lifespan of thousands of years, a few years is equivalent to dozens of days for ordinary people.
Jing Jiu was silent for a while, then said again: "It's not worth it."
"You should be very clear that I have no hope of ascension, and my lifespan will be exhausted. I can only live for a few decades at most."
Liu Ci smiled and said: "If you live forever, everything will not change, so why not change it for a few decades to be comfortable?"
Those benevolent, brave, treacherous and evil people in the world probably think the same way.
Jing Jiu thought so, and said, "Eternal life cannot be proved."
He is clearly focused on ascension, why would he say that? If others listened to it, they would definitely not understand it, but Liu Ci understood what he meant.
The summit became quiet again.
Starlight shines on Jianzhou and Yeyun.
Jing Jiu and Liu Ci stood by the cliff, watching the world quietly.
It is very beautiful.
I don't know how long it has been.
Liu Ci suddenly said: "Is there anything you want to do?"
They stood side by side, overlooking the world.
Together, they are now invincible.
You can do whatever you want.
"As you said, apart from practicing, I just want to find that ghost, and I'm not interested in other things."
Jing Jiu looked at Liu Ci and said, "What about you? Is there anything you want to do?"
"I don't have anything in particular to do."
Liu Ci smiled and said: "The days of cultivators are so boring."
"We didn't practice Taoism because it was fun."
Jing Jiu said, "A farmer farms because it's fun? A fisherman fishes because it's fun? Amas risk their lives to catch sea pearls because they're fun?"
Liu Ci said helplessly: "I know you're in a bad mood, but I'm just expressing my emotions casually, why are you so excited?"
Jing Jiu looked calm, but it was rare for him to speak such a long sentence, and he continued to ask questions in comparison, which naturally showed that he was not in the same mood.
He raised his eyebrows and said, "I just want to sigh, why are you so sensitive?"
Liu Ci said: "Those examples you gave are all forced by life, and we practice the Tao because we can cultivate the Tao and have the Tao in our hearts. How can it be the same as seeing it?"
Jing Jiu said: "Then is it interesting to intrigue in the court? Is it interesting to make tea? Is it interesting to draw? Is it interesting to play chess?"
These things may be interesting in the eyes of the world, but they are equally boring to him.
Playing chess requires exhaustion, just for the sake of winning or losing, so why not pass with a sword, that is the ultimate victory or defeat.
At this time, Tong Yan's voice suddenly floated in the night sky.
"Playing chess is still fun, but playing chess like that is of course meaningless."
Liu Ci and Jing Jiu naturally knew that he was coming, when they were discussing what else they wanted to do.
Jing Jiu's last words were for Tong Yan.
Whether it is deduction calculation or playing chess, it can only be a means of seeking Tao.
If the ascetic is immersed in it because of temporary success, there will be problems.
Tong Yan fell on the peak and saluted Liu Ci seriously.
For some reason, he left the Zhongzhou faction's cloud boat and rushed here overnight.
Jing Jiu glanced at him, meaning how do you know we are here?
Tong Yan had been in contact with him for a long time in Lengshan and Sanqianyuan, and also learned the skills of Liu Shisui, Zhao Layue, and Gu Qing, and said: "I asked Nanshan."
Jing Jiu was a little surprised, and said, "Zhuo Rusui didn't kill you?"
Tong Yan wanted to kill Daoist Taiping in this round, but it was Liu Ci who was injured.
At that time, hundreds of flying swords wanted to chop him into minced meat. Although it was a subconscious behavior, it also showed the attitude of Qingshan sect towards Tongyan.
Even if everyone in Qingshan calms down now and thinks about the overall situation, Zhuo Rusui, who has a bad temper, won't care about it.
Tong Yan said: "Nan Shan persuaded him, since I came to see Reverend Liu, life and death will naturally be decided by Reverend Liu."
Liu Ci smiled and said, "Why are you looking for me?"
Tong Yan said: "I heard Liu Zhenren said that there is nothing to do, why don't you take Qingtian Jian back to Qingshan?"
