Fighter of the Destiny

Who is dead and who is still alive? Hearing these words from the middle-aged scholar, the man who looked like a tourist was silent for a while. He looked at the distant mountains to meditate and the sea of ​​clouds to feel the vicissitudes of life. He said calmly: "Neither you nor His Majesty are his kind of people, so it stands to reason that I mean, you shouldn't be here."

The middle-aged scholar did not answer his question directly and said, "Seeing you appear, I am finally convinced that this is not a game."

The man said: "What's the explanation?"

The middle-aged scholar said: "If you had set up a trap, I'm afraid I would really be in some trouble today, at least much more trouble than I am now."

The man said: "I don't think so. Since he has always been by His Majesty's side, how could he not see through the trap I set?"

The middle-aged scholar shook his head and said: "He didn't agree with my decision, so this time I did it by myself."

The man was a little surprised and said, "Your Majesty always obeys his instructions, why not this time?"

The middle-aged scholar turned around and looked at the peaks on the opposite side of the cliff. After a moment of silence, he said, "I don't have much time."

The man said: "Your Majesty's time is indeed running out."

The time the middle-aged scholar talked about was obviously a larger-scale concept. The time the man mentioned refers to the fact that the Hanshan Heavenly Stone Formation has been activated at this time. If the middle-aged scholar is not in a hurry to leave, he may really be surrounded by the peerless experts in the human world.

"Do you want to stay with me for a while longer?" The middle-aged scholar did not look back, his voice seemed a little indifferent, but he was still confident and domineering.

The man motioned to his old companion to stand behind him, looked at the middle-aged scholar's back and said: "I have not been interested in worldly affairs these years, and neither you nor Xiao Tianhai are too lazy to send people to chase me. I like this kind of life, but I have never thought about changing it.”

The middle-aged scholar turned around, looked at him and said: "You and he are the people that the emperor wants to get rid of the most. You can survive today because you are smart enough. Of course, you are also strong enough." , whether I or Tianhai want to kill you, there will inevitably be some trouble."

The man said: "Yes, in a while, Tianhai and Yin will come over, and you will be in trouble."

The middle-aged scholar said with an indifferent expression: "They can't catch up. At most they will come with some rubbish like Zhu Luo."

The man suddenly glanced at Chen Changsheng and asked, "Why did your Majesty want to kill this young man?"

The middle-aged scholar looked at him and said, "Do I still need to explain my actions to you? I am not your Emperor Chen."

The man smiled and said: "Back then, I was used to asking His Majesty for reasons. Today, I am used to asking Your Majesty for reasons. Please don't be offended."

In this sentence and this conversation, the word "Your Majesty" appears many times, but it does not refer to a His Majesty.

The middle-aged scholar mocked and said, "No wonder your Emperor Chen never likes you."

The man said: "These are all rotten old things. Why mention them again? Your Majesty, you really don't have much time."

The middle-aged scholar looked at him quietly and said, "Do you want to save this young man's life?"

The man said: "Not bad."

The middle-aged scholar said with an indifferent expression: "What can I give in exchange?"

"Of course...your time, Your Majesty." The man said, "Time is life."

The middle-aged scholar said: "A thousand years ago, you worked so hard and led your cavalry across thousands of miles of snowy fields just to kill me... This opportunity today is much better than it was then. I don't understand why you gave up, just for this." An inconspicuous little guy?"

"If he is really an inconspicuous little guy, why did Your Majesty make a special trip to kill him? Although I don't know the reason, I can at least confirm that he is very important to the human race."

The man said: "Of course His Majesty's life is more important than his, but the problem is that I am not the fortune teller at the top of the mountain. I don't think it is a right choice to exchange this young man's life for His Majesty's. In fact, life is There is no way to make a value judgment on this kind of thing.”

The middle-aged scholar said: "Although this statement is ridiculous, it is also reasonable."

How can absurdity be justified? Most people couldn't understand it, such as Chen Changsheng and the old man hiding timidly behind the man, but the two people talking did.

They are all famous people through the ages, and their behavior is naturally different. The middle-aged scholar turned around and left without hesitation, not caring about how important and risky it was for him to leave Xue Lao City and come to Hanshan. He did it without getting any benefits. It is so hard to accept returning.

Because no matter how hard it is to accept, you must accept the cause and effect that has already happened.

The middle-aged scholar knew that the man was right. The man seemed to have never missed anything he said or did in his life.

So he chose to leave.

…

…

Watching the figure of the middle-aged scholar disappearing into the night mist, and listening to the thunderous sounds getting farther and farther away, it was not until a long time later that the man who looked like a tourist confirmed that the middle-aged scholar was far away and would not return. When he came back, he breathed a sigh of relief again, looking very emotional.

"Can he break through the Hanshan Heavenly Stone Formation?"

The old man who had been hiding behind him finally dared to stand up and asked with some lingering fear: "If it can't be broken open, will it come back again?"

The man smiled and said: "Tianji has always had a high opinion of himself, and it is inevitable that he overestimates himself."

The old man understood what he meant. He meant that as long as he was not disturbed, the middle-aged scholar should be able to break out of the formation in a short time. He couldn't help but feel a little puzzled and asked: "So... Your Excellency, what have you said before?" If we take action, we really have the best chance to kill him.”

"Thousands of years ago, the most powerful person, whether human or demon, wanted to do most was to kill him, but... the situation is different now."

"What's the difference?"

"He is no longer invincible after losing one move to Big Brother, and he is already old."

"But... I still feel it's a pity."

"Besides, if we fight, what will happen to this little guy?" The man pointed at Chen Changsheng and said.

The old man looked at Chen Changsheng and said with disdain, "It's this little guy who keeps adults tied up."

When facing the middle-aged scholar earlier, the old man seemed extremely humble and respectful to the man next to him. However, his words and expression towards Chen Changsheng were extremely rude.

After the great imperial examination, the position of the Pope's successor was vaguely established, and no one in the world would be so rude to Chen Changsheng. Even his opponents will maintain corresponding etiquette. It can only be said that this old man had seen too many important people in Kyoto, so he would not be restrained because of Chen Changsheng's identity.

Chen Changsheng did not react because he was too shocked at this time to react at all. In fact, once the tourist-looking man started talking to the middle-aged scholar, he was speechless. A few words can make a middle-aged scholar retreat. Where can such a person exist in the world today?

He knew who the middle-aged scholar was, and when he heard those conversations, he had already vaguely guessed the true identity of this tourist-looking man.

He was so surprised that he couldn't even believe it.

Previously, this man who looked like a tourist once told the middle-aged scholar not to mention those old and rotten old things from back then... No, those things are all major events written in the history books! They are all big figures who will definitely be recorded in the history books, and they will definitely have the largest space and the most important position!

"Little friend, why did he come to kill you?"

At this moment, a gentle voice sounded from the cliff, causing Chen Changsheng to wake up from his shock.

He looked at the man walking in front of him, his mouth open, unable to speak for a long time.

The man had a handsome appearance, his eyebrows were slightly stained by wind and frost, and as he spoke, a bookish breath came out from his lips, giving him an indescribable and sublime feeling.

Chen Changsheng looked at this face and didn't even think about how to answer. He was just shocked, and even the hand holding the sword hilt was trembling slightly.

Anyone who sees a legend that everyone thought was dead suddenly appears in front of them will probably have this reaction. Not to mention, this legendary figure was the one he admired the most.

His voice trembled slightly and he said: "You are..."

The man smiled and shook his head, indicating that he didn't need to ask.

"You can't say it, otherwise we will be punished by God." The old man stopped him from the side, his expression was very serious, not joking.

Chen Changsheng didn't understand, but he kept his mouth shut tightly, fearing that if he spoke casually, he would reveal some secrets and bring trouble to the other party. Then he lifted up the front of his clothes and prostrated to the other party without hesitation, ready to Make a big bow.

The man did not let him kneel down, but held his arms and looked at him with a smile without saying a word.

His gaze moved down to somewhere on Chen Changsheng's body and his eyebrows slowly raised, as if he had discovered something interesting.

Finally, he shook his head, sighed, turned around and walked away from the cliff.

The old man followed behind him.

Chen Changsheng hurriedly followed, but unexpectedly the man and the old man walked directly into the abyss outside the cliff.

At that time, the night covering Hanshan was gradually fading, as if the second dawn had ushered in.

A white cloud came from nowhere and emerged from the bottom of the stream.

The man and the old man walked outside the cliff and landed on the clouds.

The white clouds float leisurely into the distance.

The so-called wandering in the clouds should be like this.

…

…

The mountain breeze was slightly cold, and daylight returned. It seemed that the middle-aged scholar had broken through the Hanshan Heavenly Stone Formation and returned to the north.

Chen Changsheng didn't feel lucky to survive the disaster, and he didn't even think about it. He just stood on the edge of the cliff and stared blankly in the direction where the white cloud disappeared.

After waking up earlier, he originally had many things to say to the tourist-looking man, but unfortunately he didn't have time. He wanted to tell the other party that he had been to Lingyan Pavilion, saw your portrait there, read your notes, and took away the black stone you left behind...

Thinking of this, he took out the string of stone beads, looked at the black stone, and was speechless for a long time. He didn't know how much time passed, but he hugged the ground in the direction where the white clouds disappeared, then turned around and walked towards the cliff in the opposite direction of the sea of ​​clouds. However, he fell to the ground before taking two steps.
