There were two "I really can't get out" in this sentence. The former referred to his ability, and the latter referred to reality. Ning Que was thinking and worrying at this moment.
The Headmaster of the Academy had sent him to the Back Cliff for closed-door training, which made him depressed and even a little desperate. However, he had always thought that the Academy would let him out if he was really at his wit's end. He could not just watch his hair turn white overnight and die in this cave of old age.
However, in less than a day, he was meditating in the Cloud Cliff Cave. He increasingly felt that his judgment was not trustworthy. Perhaps this cliff cave was really an endless abyss.
Listening to his question, the two beside the bonfire fell into silence. After a long time, Second Brother shook his head and Eldest Brother let out a slight sigh.
The mountain wind whistled, and the flamboyant firewood on the cliff plateau gradually weakened.
Ning Que held the hot tea and looked at the flame. He suddenly felt a little cold and regretted following the Headmaster of the Academy to the Back Cliff instead of running away with Sangsang.
The cold and the fear of being imprisoned for life finally made the anger that he had accumulated for half a day burst out. He shouted, "It's the first day I see my student, and he locks him up in the cave and prepares to lock him up for life. What kind of logic is this? I didn't do anything wrong, nor did I violate the Academy's rules. Why did he do this? Who does he think he is? The Emperor or the prefectural magistrate of Chang 'an City? Didn't they say that the law of the Tang Empire is the most important? He set up a private prison to imprison innocent people. Does that count as violating the law of the Tang Empire? I'm going to sue him! I'm going to go out and sue him! "
The two Senior Brothers beside the bonfire knew that he was just venting, so they ignored him.
Ning Que gradually calmed down and laughed at himself. He thought that the Headmaster of the Academy was not the Emperor, but he was more honorable than the Emperor. His words were more effective than the law of the Tang Empire.
The bonfire shone around the entrance of the cliff cave. Eldest Brother looked at the blood stains on the front of Meng Qi's robe and knew that Meng Qi had tried to escape as soon as he entered the cliff cave, just as everyone had expected. He advised, "It's not easy to do Isolated Meditation in the cliff cave. It took Youngest Uncle three years to figure it out. You need to be patient."
During the day in the hut on the other side of the mountain, Ning Que already knew that Youngest Uncle had been imprisoned in the cliff cave. But now he knew that even Youngest Uncle, who was once the most powerful person in the world, had to spend a whole three years to escape. His body could not help but become colder.
No matter how confident he was, he did not dare to hope that he could be compared to Little Uncle. Little Uncle had used three years back then, so how long would it take for him to escape? Ten years or a lifetime?
He lowered his head and said, "What if we can't get out? It's meaningless for anyone to imprison me in the cliff cave for a lifetime. It's the most meaningless thing to realize that it's meaningless when I'm old. "
"Youngest Uncle once said that fate itself is a very cruel guy. Before making sure that you can take on the mission, it will do everything it can to break every bone in you, strip every bit of your flesh and blood, and let you suffer the most extreme pain in the world. Only in this way can your willpower and mind be strong enough to be chosen by fate."
Second Brother looked at him and said, "Only a real desperate situation can inspire true courage. So this cliff cave must be a place of death for you. Only in this way can you understand that thing and really deceive heaven and earth. When Youngest Brother and Long Qing climbed the mountain, I saw your mind and will. I know that you have potential and it's possible. So even if this thing is meaningless to the world, it is meaningful to you."
Ning Que raised his head and looked at his Senior Brother by the bonfire. He thought of the words "deceive heaven and earth" and then thought of how Youngest Uncle was also imprisoned in the cliff cave for three years. Finally, he confirmed his guess. The reason why the Headmaster of Academy asked him to seclude himself was indeed related to joining the Devil.
But why did Youngest Uncle practice Haoran Sword and join the Devil? Why did the Headmaster of Academy lock him in the cave? Ning Que suddenly wanted to know what happened at that time because he seemed to be on the same path as Youngest Uncle. So he needed to learn and think about it.
Eldest Brother looked at Sangsang who was sleeping by the bonfire. After a moment of hesitation, he smiled and said slowly, "I talk too slowly. Let Jun Mo tell you."
Second Brother said, "We have all been to the precipice, but we have never entered this cliff cave. In all the years of the Academy, only Youngest Uncle was imprisoned here for three years."
He looked at Ning Que in the cave and said, "Youngest Brother, you have seen the first exploration of Haoran Sword in the old library. Later, I taught you the Great Spirit by the Mirror Lake. Now you have inherited Youngest Uncle's breath in the Front Gate of the Devil's Doctrine and learned the Great Spirit. Naturally, you understand that Haoran Sword and Great Spirit are two different things."
At this point, it was meaningless for Ning Que to hide the fact that he joined the Devil, especially in front of his two Senior Brothers. After a moment of silence, he said, "The Great Spirit absorbs the aura of heaven and earth into the body. According to the doctrine of Haotian Taoism, learning the Great Spirit is equal to joining the Devil. "
Obviously, the two people by the bonfire had known about this for a long time. They did not show any surprise on their faces.
Second Brother recalled the past and praised, "Haoran Sword is a swordsmanship created by the predecessors of the Academy. When it is cultivated to the highest level, the flying sword can pierce through the clouds in the Ninth Heaven. It is not weaker than Liu Bai's Dahe Swordsmanship. Youngest Uncle was so talented that he easily cultivated the Haoran Sword to such an extreme state. However, he was not complacent at all. He also comprehended the Great Spirit with the Haoran Sword style. Youngest Uncle was only 16 years old at that time."
Ning Que had long been used to the geniuses in the back of the mountain of the Academy. Moreover, Youngest Uncle was Second Brother's idol. He had also felt the supreme power of the sword style left by Youngest Uncle in the Wilderness. Therefore, he was not too shocked when he heard that Youngest Uncle was in the same state as Liu Bai, the strongest man in the world, at the age of 16. However, he still could not help but feel a little dizzy when he thought that the Great Spirit was created by Youngest Uncle.
"Now you and I both know that Youngest Uncle's Great Spirit is essentially in conflict with the philosophy of Haotian Taoism. In other words, it is the cultivation method of the Devil's Doctrine. Therefore, when the Headmaster found out about this, he directly locked Youngest Uncle in this cliff cave. It is said that the Headmaster also said the same words to Youngest Uncle at that time."
Ning Que asked, "Which words?"
"You can come out when you've figured it out."
Ning Que was speechless.
Second Brother continued, "It took Youngest Uncle a whole three years to understand some things. He walked out of the cliff cave, rode a little black donkey out of the Academy and entered Chang 'an City. From then on, he entered the human realm. After that, he killed all the powerhouses in the world with a cyan-steel sword in his hand. He even went to the Wilderness to destroy the Devil's Doctrine. In these countless battles, Youngest Uncle's Haoran Sword was unparalleled, but Haotian Taoism and the Buddhism Sect did not suspect anything."
He looked at Ning Que and said, "Because Youngest Uncle understood some things in the cliff cave."
Ning Que also understood some things.
After a moment of silence, Second Brother continued, "After Youngest Uncle destroyed the Devil's Doctrine with his sword, he was disheartened by something and rode back to the Academy on the little black donkey. He pondered for a night in the Sword Forest at the front of the mountain, and then went to the back of the mountain to talk with the Headmaster for three days. Then he came to the cliff and built this hut, which is the one in front of you."
"After Youngest Uncle destroyed the Devil's Doctrine, he was recognized as the strongest person in the world. Many Unworldly Sublime Beings wanted to challenge him. At that time, there were only the Headmaster, Youngest Uncle, me and the scholar in the back of the mountain of the Academy. Without the big tactical array in the Cloud Abyss, anyone could challenge him. It was more troublesome than what you encountered in Chang 'an City a few days ago."
Eldest Brother thought of the Sword Qi and Buddha's Light between the precipices at the back of the cliff and smiled slightly.
"Youngest Uncle did not feel bored. He meditated and pondered in the hut by the cliff. When he was depressed, a real powerhouse would come to him to test his sword, so he killed him with a sword. Now that I think about it, Zhishou Abbey and Xuankong Temple have been silent these years. I'm afraid that too many people died in Youngest Uncle's hands."
Second Brother looked back at the precipice not far away and thought of the battles that had taken place here in the past. He thought of the experts at the peak of the Five Realms from the Unknown Place who had fallen under Youngest Uncle's sword one after another. They suffered heavy casualties and fell off the cliff, and no one remembered their names. He felt proud and regretful.
Back then, those people who came to these cliffs and precipices knew that the Youngest Uncle was invincible, but they still came one after another. They were all cultivators who were truly worthy of respect. That kind of pride that cultivators should have was innately not something that the mediocre and fearful of death in the cultivation world today could compare to.
Second Brother was also very proud. He had always wanted to follow in Youngest Uncle's footsteps. He also wanted to recreate the scene where people on the cliff burned their lives into fireworks for dignity and pride. It was a pity that those people were all dead. How many people in the world were worthy of respect and were worthy of fighting?
"Those Unworldly Sublime Beings either died or escaped with injuries. No one dared to challenge the Academy again. The cliff returned to peace. Then one day, Youngest Uncle suddenly left the hut and never came back."
Second Brother finished telling the story of that year.
Ning Que was silent for a long time. He heard from Ye Hongyu in the Wilderness that Youngest Uncle was finally killed by Heaven's punishment. It was probably because of this that the Headmaster of the Academy went to West-Hill to cut down a mountain of peach blossoms. Haotian Taoism did not want to mention this again. The reputation of the world's most powerful person gradually disappeared.
Why did Youngest Uncle receive Heaven's punishment? Because the Great Spirit did not tolerate Haotian, and he was already the world's most powerful person, so he provoked Haotian's anger? Youngest Uncle had pondered for many years in the thatched cottage in the cliff cave and finally embarked on the path of destruction. How could he understand this matter?
"The Headmaster imprisoned you in the cliff cave, which is equivalent to treating you as Youngest Uncle in the past. There is a lot of hidden expectations. If you can't even get through this first obstacle, how can you go on in the future?"
Eldest Brother looked at him and said with a smile, "Youngest Brother, your state is much lower than that of Youngest Uncle in the past. Naturally, there will not be a problem immediately. However, it does not prevent you from going out with a black umbrella in advance. Because your state is still low, it is easier to solve that problem than Youngest Uncle in the past. So don't always think that you are not as good as Youngest Uncle. You still have hope."
Ning Que looked at the night sky outside the cliff cave.
Ever since he returned to Chang 'an from the Wilderness, he had been thinking about that problem. How could he prevent the essence of the Great Spirit from being discovered by others? In the battle with Monk Guan Hai, he had already made some attempts. However, those methods were superficial and could not fundamentally solve the problem.
If he wanted to solve the problem fundamentally, he had to learn to tell a big lie to deceive everyone in the world, even the world.
