Chapter 413: Admiration!
Zhongzhou.
Inside Tianji Pavilion.
Chen Xuanqing and Ancestor Tianji sat cross-legged at both ends and looked at the chessboard in front of them. Ancestor Tianji slowly picked up a sunspot and said, "It's an ominous premonition. Sometimes, I really hope this is just your illusion, fellow Taoist." …”
"But as a ninth-level physiognomist, you and I must know that everything that exists must be causally connected, and any feeling or omen must be pointed to something by causality."
"Whether it's big or small, everything has its own destiny, whether it's disaster or chance. It's beyond the control of the human mind. Between us, Taoist friends, why not just let nature take its course?"
Chen Xuanqing was speechless when he heard this, "How can I just let nature take its course? How can I feel at ease before I figure things out?"
Ancestor Tianji looked at the situation in front of him and saw that Chen Xuanqing's chess skills had improved again. He also used this method to trap Chen Xuanqing last time, and Chen Xuanqing ran away.
But this time, Chen Xuanqing gave a countermeasure.
Fortunately, he had already thought of this level and had a way to deal with it.
"What is supposed to come will always come, right? I always tell my disciples and grandchildren that it is better to cherish the present than to look to the future."
"Mortals have a short life span, but they can live it out. As monks, you and I have an infinite life span, but the life span is short and long. Why do we have to live so tiringly?"
Chen Xuanqing narrowed his eyes, "This is not like what the ancestor of Tianji can say. They say that things are unpredictable, but you know the future for eight or nine years, and you will be prepared step by step, leaving layers of back-ups. I also heard about the battle in the trapped dragon situation. Everyone in the world praises the master of the pavilion for his wonder."
Ancestor Tianji heard this and stroked his beard, "There are all wonderful praises. They were all from when I was young. I am already old, but as a fellow Taoist, you still have the same grace, and you are still so young."
While the two were talking, a woman suddenly walked in carrying a teapot. This woman was extremely young, but her cultivation was low.
He walked gently to the two of them, picked up the teapot, filled Chen Xuanqing's white jade cup with tea, and then poured tea for Patriarch Tianji.
Chen Xuanqing is a guest, so he has to pour tea first.
But when the woman was pouring tea, she always glanced at Chen Xuanqing.
The woman stepped back, but Patriarch Tianji showed a smile, "Everyone in the world calls Zuo Jianxian a graceful and suave person, with strength that is unrivaled in ancient and modern times. Not only is he extremely handsome in appearance, but his swordsmanship skills are also shocking to ghosts and gods."
"And there is no Taoist companion so far. All female cultivators in the world don't want to be by his side. I guess a Taoist boy like me has also admired his Taoist companion for a long time."
After hearing this, Chen Xuanqing slowly picked up the tea cup. The fragrance of the tea was like jasmine flowers mixed with the fragrance of osmanthus. It was slightly bitter and astringent when it first entered the mouth, but the aftertaste was extremely rich and sweet, like a young girl who had just awakened her love.
"I remember someone said that admiration and adoration are the emotions furthest from understanding."
Chen Xuanqing slowly put down the tea cup, "What do you think, Pavilion Master?"
Ancestor Tianji smiled and shook his head, "Since ancient times, strong people have been lonely and cold at high places. No one can understand you, fellow Taoist. It is indeed a kind of loneliness..."
"The world only sees Taoist friends on the surface, but cannot see into their hearts. However, if everyone wants to find someone who understands them, then the world will be in chaos."
"Let me tell you a story, Taoist friend. There once was a female sword cultivator. She was extremely beautiful. She was like a fairy descending to earth. To use the words of Taoist friend, clouds think of clothes and flowers think of face. The spring breeze blows on the threshold and the dew is thick. If I hadn't seen her at the top of the jade mountain, I would never have seen her. Meeting under the moon at Yaotai is the perfect description."
"But precisely because of this, there are countless male cultivators chasing him, but every suitor only focuses on her skin, and no one understands her."
"So in order to reject those people, she came up with a way, that is, she swore to God that if someone could defeat her in swordsmanship, she would marry that person no matter what."
"But this move only made more male cultivators pursue her. Countless people came to challenge her, but they were all defeated by her. Who would have thought that a woman's swordsmanship could reach such a state."
"It was then that they realized that the woman not only looked like a fairy, but also had terrifying strength. However, this did not stop the stormy waves and butterflies from pursuing her."
"It can be said that someone challenges her almost every day. As time goes by, that woman's swordsmanship becomes more and more refined, and she even becomes the best female swordsman in the world. This is really a combination of circumstances..."
Chen Xuanqing dropped the question, "What next?"
Ancestor Tianji looked at the chessboard in front of him with some hesitation, "Then, she will die alone."
? ? ?
Chen Xuanqing raised his head and looked at Ancestor Tianji, "Are you kidding me, Master?"
Ancestor Tianji burst out laughing when he heard this, "Hahaha, fellow Taoist is still too serious. Some things can't be understood just by thinking about it. Just because she swore that only the person who can defeat her can marry her."
"But her swordsmanship is the best in the world, so no one can defeat her until she dies of old age, so naturally she will die alone."
Chen Xuanqing couldn't understand the meaning of Patriarch Tianji's words. What did he want to say?
"I think what the Pavilion Master said is a bit biased. Why do you think he died alone? Isn't there a possibility? She liked to be alone. Dying alone was the path she chose."
Ancestor Tianji pursed his lips and smiled when he heard this, "No, because at the last moment, she regretted it, but the oath was there, and it was impossible for her to violate the oath of heaven."
"To be honest, after these people challenged her for hundreds of years, she has begun to let go on purpose. But her swordsmanship has really reached a level that is beyond the reach of ordinary people. Even if she wants to lose on purpose, it is difficult."
"That's how people are. Only when they lose it do they realize how precious they are. Only when they miss it do they appreciate it. When they are away from the crowd, they become lonely. When they are alone, they feel lonely."
"I want to say, fellow Taoist, you should cherish the present moment. Didn't Bai Di have a beautiful sister who pursued you? Her status is worthy of it. Both in terms of strength and appearance, she is the best among today's female cultivators. Qiaochu, not even her?"
Chen Xuanqing smiled when he heard this, "Pavilion Master, please don't forget that I just molested Princess Baidi before. Although they said I didn't do anything but sent a poem, but they said I molested the princess, I have nothing to say." It can be said.”
"It was also at that time that Bai Di's sister kept pestering me and asked me to write a poem for her. I said that the poem should be written for her. But she said no, she insisted on writing a poem. More special."
"I stopped paying attention to her after that, but she didn't seem to give up. About a year ago, she came to Taixu Immortal Sect to look for me again, once a year, rain or shine."
Ancestor Tianji laughed twice when he heard this, "Isn't this great? Why don't you accept her?"
Chen Xuanqing lost one piece and said, "If there is one, there will be two. It is better not to set this precedent. Besides, Pavilion Master, you seem to have lost."
