Taoism moves mountains

Chapter 730 Yu Lian’s Obsession

After getting along for a long time, Yu Lian got to know Jiang Yang, and Jiang Yang also knew the details of Yu Lian.

Before Chen Pipi came, Yu Lian was the one who had the least interaction with Jiang Yang among the twelve people in the back mountain.

Unless they met by chance, she would rarely come to Jiang Yang.

"Pippi is an innocent and kind-hearted child!"

"Is this what you came here to say?" Jiang Yang guessed that Yu Lian's words were just words, so he pointed it out directly.

Yu Lian was silent for a moment, then opened her thin lips and asked, "Excuse me, sir, will giving up your established income make people happy?"

After Chen Pipi came to the back of the academy, she saw Chen Pipi's heartfelt smile and was infected. At the same time, it triggered some deep thoughts, and then she wanted to find someone to answer the question.

She didn't look for a wife but looked for Jiang Yang. She just felt that it would be easier and more relaxed to communicate with Jiang Yang.

"After a person is born, it is never determined what responsibilities he (she) must bear, nor what he (she) must be able to obtain for free. Those are just imposed by others."

“Since it is imposed by others, we naturally have the right to refuse or accept it.”

"Of course, there are consequences at your own risk!"

After Jiang Yang thought for a while, he gave the above answer.

Rejection and acceptance are the rights that everyone has, and whether they have the strength to bear the consequences of rejection or acceptance determines whether they will be happy or sad in the future.

Yu Lian is not stupid, and he can think of the key points: "What do you do, you still need to have strength? If the wilderness people were strong enough, they would not be expelled to the extreme northern wilderness. If I was strong enough back then, Mingzong would not be destroyed." ”

Yu Lian, whose original name was Lin Wu, was the last sect leader of the Ming sect...that is, the Demon sect, and the youngest sect leader in the history of the Demon sect.

At that time, due to Liansheng Thirty-Two's calculations and instigation, Ke Haoran became angry with the Demon Sect and entered the Demon Sect's mountain gate with a single sword. As a result, the Demon Sect's strength was greatly reduced and it had to be disbanded.

Lin Wu was young at the time, so Ke Haoran felt compassion and let her go.

Later, the master met her and took her as his third disciple.

From then on, she sat by the east window on the second floor of the old library of the academy every day, quietly copying books in small regular script with hairpin flowers.

More than ten years have passed, and Yu Lian still can't let go of what happened back then, and he also thinks about Mingzong in his heart.

After a long time, Yu Lian's heart calmed down and he asked again: "What are people living for?"

"You also said that people are alive." Jiang Yang replied with a nonchalant expression.

After a person is born, doesn’t he do all kinds of things just to stay alive?
  When Yu Lian heard this, he didn't react and stared straight at him.

Jiang Yang understood and knew that this was not the answer Yu Lian wanted, so he asked: "Then what do you think people are living for?"

"There should always be something to pursue, such as faith, adequate food and clothing, power and status." Yu Lian replied without thinking.

"That's right!" Jiang Yang nodded in agreement.

"Then why can't Xiling tolerate the existence of the Huangren Mingzong? Do you have to call it 'devil' to restrict it, slander it as a demon sect, or even expel it and crusade it all over the world?" Yu Lian's tone was a little urgent.

At this moment, the Master suddenly appeared, using his power of distance more silently than anyone else.

"Yu Lian, you still can't let go?" The master was a little dissatisfied with Yu Lian's persistence and felt that Yu Lian's more than ten years of copying books and cultivating his character were in vain.

"Teacher!" Yu Lian saluted the Master respectfully, and his attitude became more reserved.

Sure enough, as soon as the master appeared, Yu Lian was not so open.

The Master nodded and looked directly at her.

"I just thought that Mr. Jiang could help Huang Ren, and I hope he could take care of him." Yu Lian lowered his head and said.

Jiang Yang was surprised when he heard this. Although he was mistaken by the desert people as the "messenger of Hades" they believed in, he never admitted it. "Why do you want others to take care of your people? Can't you go there yourself? Although there are rules in the mountains behind the academy, my master has never forced you to abide by them. You can go to the wilderness." The master said calmly.

This was said so well that anyone could tell that the Master was angry.

"Disciple doesn't dare!" Yu Lian quickly lowered his head and admitted his mistake.

"Okay, okay, master and disciple, don't affect my mood here." Jiang Yang saw that the atmosphere was a bit heavy, so he started teasing.

"Actually, this person's life has its own meaning."

"But what is the meaning of life? It is a very philosophical thing." When he said this, Jiang Yang also looked around carefully. He was worried that Wang Chi would hear it, otherwise it would be another time-consuming debate.

"Everyone is born differently, and their circumstances are different. Some people are born into wealthy families, some are born into royal families, some are born into scholarly families, and some are born into ordinary people's families. Life begins from here. Because births are different, daily pursuits, What you want is different with age and in life; even if you want the same thing, there will be differences. Some people only want the results, and the process is not important; some people are satisfied after going through the process, and the results are not important to them. It’s not important anymore.”

"So, in my opinion, it is unrealistic to discuss the meaning of life. It is better to cherish the present moment. After all, life is short!"

[Of course, my life is growing! ] Jiang Yang added in his mind.

"What do you want in life, sir?" Yu Lian thought for a moment and asked curiously.

"Longevity!" Jiang Yang calmed down and replied solemnly.

Not only the master looked shocked, but Yu Lian was also shocked.

She knew that even the Master, who had lived for nearly a thousand years, was still showing signs of aging.

It's not that she disrespects the Master, but she has already thought in her heart: "Master is already very old, how long can he live?" 】

"You don't need to be shocked. In the outside world, it is not a problem for practitioners who can become immortals and ancestors to live for tens of millions of years. Even some immortals and gods who are not among the Five Elements have lived for several years. Yes, it can be said that it is not an exaggeration to live as long as the sky, as long as the sky does not fall, it will not die." Jiang Yang said with a smile, his expression shining with longing.

"I really want to see the outside world." Yu Lian raised his head and looked at the sky.

"This matter is not difficult at all. As long as your teacher is willing to believe me and cooperate with me, at a special time in the future, he will definitely be able to break through this Haotian and go outside." Jiang Yang turned to look to the side The master watched intently.

When the master heard Jiang Yang's words, he looked at Jiang Yang intently, as if he wanted to see something.

After a long time, the master finally asked: "Are you forcing me to make a choice?"

Jiang Yang didn't respond to him. He turned around and walked back into the room, giving him a broad look from behind.

"It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that there are some things that I haven't figured out yet, and there are some things that I still can't see clearly." Master thought Jiang Yang was disappointed with him, so he explained.

Perhaps this conversation was not satisfactory, and the three of them were not in a good mood.

Yu Lian returned to the old library on the front hill of the academy and continued to copy hairpin small regular script. The master also returned to the monastery, patiently waiting for Chen Pipi's newly researched delicacies, and Jiang Yang continued to deal with those rare treasures.

Returning to Yu Lian of the old library, recalling Jiang Yang's words, if she herself could be as strong as the Master, what would Mingzong be like?

However, she practiced the Demon Sect's "Twenty-Three-Year Cicada" technique, and she transformed into a cicada once. She could enter the Heavenly Demon Realm anytime and anywhere, but it was only the sixth realm after all.

"The Twenty-Three-Year Cicada" is the most difficult skill to practice in the Demon Sect. As long as the Dacheng Cicada sheds its body once, its strength will increase explosively.

Yu Lian is the only person who has mastered the practice of "Twenty-Three Years of Cicada", even the founder of this unique skill has not achieved it.

If she was given another twenty-three years to practice and continue to shed her cicada, she might be able to become stronger and even be promoted to the seventh realm of immortality.

But where is the time for her to practice now?
  The signs of eternal night have already appeared. Who can give her twenty-three years?

Thinking of "when eternal night falls, everything will be destroyed", Yu Lian couldn't help but laugh to himself: "If everything is destroyed, what's the point of what I was seeking before?"

[Do you think in your heart that Mr. Jiang can break the advent of eternal night? What did he mean by what he said to the teacher? 】
