Fighter of the Destiny

The King of Linghai and Taoist Siyuan hurried over. When they saw Xu Yourong next to Chen Changsheng, they were slightly startled, and then looked happy.

The two of them are representatives of the new sect of the state religion. Because of their relationship with the Holy Queen Tianhai, they are naturally very close to Xu Yourong. However, after the ceremony, the joy on their faces disappeared and they said to Chen Changsheng: "Dean Mao is out of seclusion." ”

During the reign of the previous pope, there were at least three Feng Yu who obeyed Li Gong's orders, but now there is no one left. Therefore, Mao Qiuyu's hope of breaking through the realm is of great significance to Li Gong. It can even be said to be the most important thing for Li Gong during this period.

His exit today means that he has successfully broken through and become a powerful person in the sacred realm.

For the state religion, this is of course a great thing.

But the expressions of King Linghai and Taoist Siyuan were a little solemn.

In the past few years, Mao Qiuyu had taken great care of Chen Changsheng and the National Education Academy. After Chen Changsheng succeeded to the position of pope and left Kyoto, he became the specific executor of Chen Changsheng's will in Kyoto.

The problem is that Mao Qiuyu is an old sect of the state religion after all, and now that he has crossed that threshold, he can no longer be treated as ordinary.

During this period, there were many conflicts between the old and new factions of the state religion. Chen Changsheng had just returned to Beijing the day before yesterday and carried out a purge of the religious office.

What would Mao Qiuyu think after knowing these things?

…

…

Winter is coming to an end, but the weather has not gotten warmer, but has become colder.

The cold wind like a knife blew the goose feather-like snow falling from the sky, dyeing more than ten palaces white.

Xu Yourong said, "Can you let me see you first?"

The King of Linghai looked at Chen Changsheng.

Of course he knew about the relationship between the Pope and the Saint, but this matter was too important.

If Mao Qiuyu succeeds in breaking through, his status in the state religion will become completely different.

If he cannot be convinced by His Majesty the Pope, then today will be the first day for him to break through the sacred realm, and it must also be the last day.

Looking at Mao Qiuyu on the other side of Fengxue, his gray hair draped over his shoulders, and his two sleeves fluttering in the wind, Chen Changsheng recalled the first time he saw him at the Ivy Banquet.

At that time, Mao Qiuyu was the dean of Tiandao Academy and Luoluo's first mentor.

Chen Changsheng also remembered many things - Mao Qiuyu holding Xunmei's body outside Tianshu Mausoleum and bursting into tears, Mao Qiuyu sitting silently in the teahouse during the martial arts performance in various academies, and when he went to kill Zhou Tong, Mao Qiuyu's carriage appeared Outside the courtyard full of begonia flowers.

In these years, Mao Qiuyu didn't say much or do much, but she always stood silently behind him and the Chinese Academy of Education.

Maybe it was because of the relationship between the Pope's uncle, or maybe it was because of Archbishop Merissa's request.

But no matter which one it is, Mao Qiuyu treats him very well.

Chen Changsheng stretched out his hand to brush away the falling snowflakes in front of him, and also brushed away those unnecessary thoughts.

He looked at Xu Yourong and said, "Then go ahead."

Taoist Siyuan's expression was slightly strange, but he did not dare to disobey. All the strong men and formations of the national religion hidden in the wind and snow retreated.

…

…

The Taoist temple in the wind and snow was quiet for a long time.

I don't know how long it took, but Xu Yourong walked out and smiled at Chen Changsheng.

King Linghai and Taoist Siyuan breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Xu Yourong left in the wind and snow. There must be many things to deal with.

Chen Changsheng walked into the Taoist temple and stood side by side with Mao Qiuyu in front of the window, looking at the palace in the wind and snow.

The palace was very quiet, there were no footprints in the snow, and the figures of King Linghai and Taoist Siyuan were very clear.

"There are fewer and fewer people."

Mao Qiuyu's expression was very emotional.

Chen Changsheng understood what he meant.

Among the six giants of the original state religion, Meili Sha was the first to leave, followed by the pastoral wine poem. The previous pope abolished the state religion practices and was expelled from the palace. Taoist Baishi was executed in Wenshui. Archbishop Yulin also resigned sadly last night. .

Now even if Mao Qiuyu himself and Hu Thirty-two are added, they still cannot gather the number of people needed for the palace formation.

What's more, Mao Qiuyu is about to leave here.

Chen Changsheng said: "Uncle Master asked me to do this, so some things must be done after all."

This matter refers to holding the ecclesiastical staff as pope.

Some things refer to things that have already happened, such as leaving.

"I heard you said something last night."

Mao Qiuyu said: "Will you bear all the charges you should bear?"

Chen Changsheng said: "Yes."

Mao Qiuyu turned to look at his side face and said, "But who is qualified to judge whether you are guilty or not?"

Chen Changsheng thought for a long time and then gave an answer that surprised Mao Qiuyu.

"Why have you never asked my master and uncle this question?"

He did not talk about the people's will, nor history, nor the future of the human race, but asked a rhetorical question.

Mao Qiuyu noticed that his eyes were serious and his expression was very persistent, and then he found that he could not answer this question.

Chen Changsheng did not expect to get the answer and continued: "Maybe it's because I'm younger? Tang Sanliu once said that being young means being correct. This sentence is not correct, because being correct has nothing to do with age, so age Being old doesn’t mean being right either.”

Mao Qiuyu said: "The more you see, the more experience you have, and you may be able to take less detours."

Chen Changsheng said: "Between two points, a straight line is the closest and naturally does not bend."

This is talking about his sword, the sword from Wang Po.

"Spirit is of course important, but governing the world is like cooking fresh food and must not be done lightly."

Mao Qiuyu looked at him and said seriously: "This is the way of the previous Pope."

This is the biggest difference between the previous pope and Queen Tianhai and Shang Xingzhou.

He doesn't care about the dispute between the old and new factions of the state religion, nor does he care about the dispute between the Chen family and the Holy Queen Tianhai.

He only supports actions that can stabilize the world.

More than twenty years ago, Shang Xingzhou plotted a rebellion and saw the world in chaos, so he opposed it.

Twenty years later, Queen Tianhai still refused to return to the Chen royal family. Seeing that the world would be in chaos, he opposed it.

Mao Qiuyu looked at the figure gradually walking away in the depths of the wind and snow, and said: "If the saint does this, it will definitely cause chaos in the world. If it were the previous pope, he would definitely stop it with all his strength, but now I choose to turn a blind eye. I really don't know. Right or wrong.”

When Xu Yourong persuaded him just now, he made some very complicated calculations and then said something.

"Since you have the breeze on your sleeves, why not just sit back and watch."

Breeze on both sleeves is Mao Qiuyu’s slogan.

"Actually, I have always thought that what uncle did at the beginning was not necessarily correct."

Chen Changsheng thought about that night at the Mausoleum of Heavenly Books, when Uncle Pope stood in the stagnant water in the slums of Nancheng, fighting against the Holy Queen of Tianhai while not forgetting to protect the innocent people, and he felt very admired and moved, but also a little complicated. a feeling of.

Uncle Jiao Zong is a good person.

But should good people work so hard?

Mao Qiuyu knew what he was thinking and earnestly persuaded him: "Your Majesty, we should still be good people."

"You don't have to be a good person, because I am a good person."

Chen Changsheng looked at him with a serious expression and said, "I just hope that good people will be rewarded."
