Song Xing: I am cultivating immortals in Qingcheng Mountain

Chapter 385: Tao, On the General Situation of the World

"how's it going?"

The battle was over, and Mo Yi did not take any more risky moves. He treated Xiao Se. The injury on his hidden meridian was not too troublesome for him.

"I dissolved his cultivation and left him with a breath of inner energy. If nothing unexpected happens, when he refines that breath, he should be able to enter the Free and Easy Heaven Realm. As for whether he can go further, it depends on his luck."

Mo Yi stood with his hands behind his back, speaking in a calm tone, as if he was not surprised that Xiao Se had returned to Xiaoyao Tianjing.

"By the way, I heard from Miss Ye that Mr.

"Ye Ruoyi is a very nice name. When I see her, I will subconsciously think of my sister. It's just a trace of her. It's not a big deal."

When Zhao Shou heard this, he smiled softly.

Mo Yi cherishes his sister and loves Ye Ruoyi as well, which is understandable. As for whether Mo Yi has any backup plan, Zhao Shouyi doesn't want to think about it at the moment.

"Little Taoist priest, do you also want to get involved in the affairs of the court?"

It had been drizzling on the island at some point. Mo Yi looked at the small courtyard shrouded in the drizzle. The courtyard was not big, but it had everything it needed, including mountains, water, and a small pavilion in the center, just like the court that suppressed the world.

His gaze was leisurely, as if he saw the beautiful mountains and rivers of this world, the rivers and lakes and the imperial court, the disputes and blood and tears.

"A person's greed is endless, especially for those in high positions. It is said that those who climb to high positions should be cautious and work diligently, which is the way to long-term success. But the world has long since changed."

"The general trend of the world is that long-term division will eventually lead to unification, and long-term unification will eventually lead to division. This is the cycle of nature, just like this dynasty. When it is time for it to fall, no one can stop it. The next dynasty will enter this cycle again, establishing a dynasty, prospering, declining, and perishing."

"Under the general trend, no matter who you are, you are like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, or a drop in the bucket."

"This Xiao Se may be okay now, but who can guarantee that in twenty years, the sword that cuts you and me won't be the one in his hand? Wasn't his father like that back then?"

"Even if he didn't do it, who can guarantee that his children won't do it? The emperors in the mortal world never care about the lives of the people. What they care about is whether the country is permanent. If someone touches this bottom line, even if it is a close relative, they will wield the butcher knife. The emperors are the most ruthless."

The rain is getting heavier.

Zhao Shouyi could understand what Mo Yi meant. It seemed that Mo Yi was unwilling to get involved in court affairs. Perhaps there were not many things in this world that he could cherish. Back then, when he almost starved to death, no one was willing to lend him a helping hand. So why should he help those people?

"Many times, we think that the sword in our hands can solve everything, but when we face our relatives, friends or justice, we are more confused about whether we should swing the sword in our hands. Just like the little girl next to you, if one day she wants to rebel, you know that if she does so, the world will be in chaos and the people will be displaced. Will you stop her?"

"If one day, your master becomes a demon who kills people without hesitation, will you wield a sword to exorcise the demon?"

Mo Yi's words were sharp, like an extremely sharp knife that tore apart all the disguises in the world, laying the right and wrong, the true and false nakedly in front of Zhao Shouyi.

For the two questions above, perhaps many people, or even everyone, cannot give their own answers.

"This is the court, this is human nature. Sometimes, when you are deeply involved in it, the choices you face may be even more difficult than this."

Seeing that Zhao Shouyi did not answer, Mo Yi continued to speak.

"They are indeed not your opponents, but your sword has a scabbard. The enemies in the open are not scary. The ones behind the scenes are really scary. If one day you have to draw your sword against your lover or friend, like Baili Dongjun, how many twenty years of life can make people drunk?
"Was someone setting up the Baili Dongjun incident back then?" Zhao Shouyi was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked.

"I don't know, but there is one thing I also found out later. The Zhenxi Marquis Mansion withdrew from the center of Beili because of that incident. Now I'm afraid no one would remember the famous Zhenxi Marquis Mansion back then."

Zhao Shouyi sighed softly. Although Mo Yi did not say it explicitly, his meaning was very clear. Someone was indeed behind the events of that year, and that person had achieved his goal. Both the Zhenxi Marquis Mansion and the number one genius of that year, Baili Dongjun, ended up in a miserable way.

"Ugh~~"

A small emerald green sword suddenly came out of its sheath and hovered in front of Zhao Shouyi. The sword was shining brightly, like a pool of autumn water flowing.

Mo Yi glanced sideways. During the previous fight, he found that the long sword in Zhao Shouyi's hand was extraordinary. Now, looking at it closely, his eyes narrowed subconsciously.

Because that emerald green sword is not a weapon in the general sense, but a spiritual weapon, its quality has long surpassed that of ordinary iron.

"Sir, your worries are unnecessary."

Zhao Shouyi spoke, and at the very beginning he directly answered Mo Yi's questions.

"I am a Taoist priest, not a saint. I have my own standpoint and my own judgment."

"Over the long river of time, I have witnessed many things that ordinary people cannot decide. In our life, there should be one most important thing in our hearts. In other words, it is the thing we are willing to give up everything to accomplish."

"Just like you want to resurrect Miss Lu'er, this is your most determined idea. For this, you gave up the way to heaven and practiced the way of ghosts. You left Huanglong Temple and even turned against your master. You risked the world's condemnation and found the art of resurrection. You are even willing to stand here and chat with me, your enemy who ruined your resurrection plan. That's because you believe I will help you achieve that goal."

When Mo Yi heard this, he was at a loss for words and fell silent.

"Sir, you have this obsession, so how can I know that Shouyi doesn't have it? When Shouyi faces a choice one day, do you think he will be in a dilemma?"

"Besides, what is the purpose of our practice? Isn't it so that one day, when we face this kind of thing, we will have more choices?"

"Tao~~"

“Very big~~”

"Perhaps one day in the future I may face that kind of choice, but I still hope that at least in this world, there will be someone willing to listen to my truth."

Mo Yi was stunned, and suddenly he seemed to understand something and burst into laughter.

“Hahaha, hahahaha, hahahahaha~~”

"That's it, that's it!!!"
