Distress: My Years in Defeng Ancient Road

Chapter 584 Why did the master rebel?

When everyone is trapped in the present, trapped in the rivers and lakes, even the innate people will seldom cast their eyes on the field other than practice, let alone look to the future.

The four words "inheritance of firewood" are simple to say, but to be done...

How many people can really do it?

The other party's words reminded Shang Qingyi of a person, a senior who contributed to the current situation in the Central Plains.

Even if the current peace is not real peace, as long as it lasts long enough, even this superficial peace can have a far-reaching impact.

At least, the various factions in the Central Plains should give birth to flowers that only bloom in peaceful times, and a seed of yearning for peace will also be planted in the hearts of the people of the Central Plains.

The existence of rivers and lakes, in a certain sense, actually limits the progress of the times.

Even if the people yearn for peace, even if everyone yearns for peace, the long-term wars and chaos will take away their imagination and creativity for a peaceful and prosperous world.

The consequence of this is...

No one cares about the people's livelihood anymore, as long as the people live, that's enough.

How much is absurd, ironic, and... sad.

but

This is the case.

All people are bound by the rivers and lakes and assimilated by the rivers and lakes.

Living in such an environment since childhood, no matter how divergent thinking is, it will still be limited by the environment and solidified by the times. It is difficult for people who grow up in such an environment to be like people living in peaceful times. Do it from the grassroots.

Coupled with the fact that the lifespan of a congenital person is almost infinite, naturally not everyone will choose the so-called passing on the torch.

After all, if you can control everything in your own hands, what kind of inheritance should you pass on?

This kind of thinking is actually quite common in this day and age.

Shang Qingyi is even more aware that what he can think of is just the tip of the iceberg in this era.

Meeting by chance, some deeper things, the other party will not tell him, and he will not mention it with the other party. At most, it is as meaningful as the previous conversation.

However, even so, he still had a deep feeling.

"Are you going to kill someone if you don't agree with each other?"

At the same time as he spoke, Shang Qingyi put the folded fan in his hand on the table.

Lin Chongyang on the opposite side took the chopsticks, picked up a piece of snack, and then asked:
"Can't you?"

After finishing speaking, they began to taste some snacks. The two of them chatted until now, and there was no possibility of fighting.

Shang Qingyi sighed softly: "If it were other things, I would definitely choose to fight to the death."

As for what the two of them just talked about, if it is put on the rivers and lakes, it will inevitably cause a lot of waves, and even set off a bloody storm. Combined with the identity of the other party, it may even cause changes within the Confucianism sect.

Under this premise, being silenced...

normal.

At this time, he already somewhat agrees with the other party's ideas, if he does not consider joining, then in order not to make things worse, there are only two options left, either return to the realm of nothingness and never come out for the rest of his life, or kill him if he wants to.

Considering his personality, Shang Qingyi felt that it was not difficult to choose.

However, running counter to the mainstream thinking, and still able to live intact until now, the identity of the person in front of him is probably far from being as simple as it seems.

Lin Chongyang, who swallowed the snacks and took a sip of tea, said comfortingly:
"Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who preys on friends."

"Brother, you and I just met by chance." Shang Qingyi reminded.

"Since we can reach a consensus on the concept, then Xiongtai must be a person who truly cares about the common people. Unless I change my mind, it is impossible for you and me to become enemies."

"If it's not an enemy, it's not necessarily a friend either."

"I regard Xiongtai as a friend."

"So easy?"

"It's not easy."

…………

The mountain roads are bleak and few people walk, the beacon smoke is cut off and the birds do not fly, the gloomy clouds are bleak and even the desert, the north wind blows the snow and falls.

In the blink of an eye, ten days later, on the Gobi in the northern part of the Central Plains, two figures were seen walking side by side, walking in the predetermined direction, without haste.

"Master Lin, according to your current pace, it will take another ten days to go to the northern border."

Originally, if there were no accidents, Shang Qingyi planned to visit Lunjianhai first. After all, since he traveled the rivers and lakes, he had heard people talking about this name time and time again.

Over time, he naturally became interested, not to mention the legendary sword mark, and the pre-heated sword judging meeting ten years in advance, so it's nothing to go and see.

We all know that when you think this way, accidents happen.

Then he met Lin Chongyang. At that time, the two didn't know each other's names, but because of the recognition of their ideas, they had a good chat and became friends.

Later, Shang Qingyi changed his mind and chose to go north with Lin Chongyang. He wanted to witness the changes in the northern border with his own eyes. It was also at that time that the two of them notified each other of their names.

then……

He asked at that time: Why did the Sword Emperor rebel?

Whether in Jianghu or in the Three Religions, the vast majority of people don't know about it.

On the contrary, the vast majority of people know that the Confucian sword emperor, the Confucian sage and Mingde, is in charge, and he is called Tengguang Lingyao Lin Chongyang.

After knowing the identity of the other party, Shang Qingyi felt that he still thought too shallowly at that time, but he just thought that he was a master from Confucianism, and he didn't think any deeper, but he was not too surprised.

It can only be said that there is a reason for the current influence of Confucianism, which can overwhelm Taoism and Buddhism.

On the ideological level alone, both Buddhism and Taoism have lost too much, even if not the entire Confucianism is like this, but, as the leader of the most powerful line of Confucianism at the moment, the influence that Lin Chongyang can bring is undoubtedly huge.

Just ...

The relationship between the two is a bit weird, let's say they are seniors, it's not like, let's say they are friends, it's not perfect, on the contrary, it has the meaning of being both a teacher and a friend.

"Isn't it normal for you to walk slower when you're getting older? Taking a step back, it's rare to have free time, to calm down and observe the world we live in slowly, isn't it a kind of practice?"

Regarding Shang Qingyi's teasing, Lin Chongyang naturally accepted all of it. In this fast-paced arena, it is extremely rare to slow himself down, and it can indeed be regarded as a kind of practice.

"If you say this, no one will believe it."

If you just look at the appearance, he might be more like the older one, saying that he is older, he is talking nonsense with his eyes open, and no one will believe it, okay?
"Today I will teach you one more thing. As the saying goes, the destiny is not enough to be feared, the ancestors are not enough to follow the law, and the words of people are not enough to be sympathetic."

In Lin Chongyang's eyes, Shang Qingyi is undoubtedly a good seedling, but in terms of overall positioning, he will be more like Brother Yin, and compared with ordinary Confucian students, he will be a little more happy.

"That's your master Lin's business. Others can't learn it, and they don't have the courage to learn it."
