The black horse carriage was on the ground, and the ground was the human world. If the Headmaster had already thought of a way to defeat Haotian, he would have left the human world and fought in the sky. He would not be in the horse carriage.
"I thought for a long time, but I couldn't think of a way." The Headmaster said, "After a few hundred years, I met someone. His name was Ke Haoran, your Youngest Uncle."
Ning Que's gloomy mood brightened up when he heard the name of Youngest Uncle. He was excited because he knew that Youngest Uncle's Great Spirit was in him now.
The Headmaster of the Academy said, "Your Youngest Uncle has an outstanding aptitude and can be said to be extremely talented. Whether it's cultivation or other things, he can learn them all at once. He has never encountered any knowledge barrier that the Buddhism Sect talked about. Correspondingly, this guy's temper is a bit strange. There are many things that he is unwilling to learn."
Ning Que said, "I heard from Lotus that Youngest Uncle only knows Haoran Sword in his life … But Lotus also said that Youngest Uncle has reached the state of mastering one method and mastering all methods."
"No matter what his title was, I think there is a limit to the state that killed himself."
The Headmaster said, "Back to what happened in the past. When I saw your Youngest Uncle, my eyes lit up. I thought that my aptitude was too ordinary, so I couldn't think of a way to defeat Haotian. His aptitude was far better than mine. If he received my careful training, then maybe he could really fulfill my wish."
"And then?"
"As I said before, your Youngest Uncle has a strange temper."
"Is it pride?"
"Isn't pride strange?"
"Teacher, you are quite proud too."
"I have always been objective and fair."
"Teacher, we got sidetracked."
"You … Your Youngest Uncle was very proud. I wanted to take him as a student, but he refused. He said that I was not qualified to take him as a student. I asked him, if I was not qualified, who else in the world was qualified to be his teacher?"
The Headmaster said, "At that time, your Youngest Uncle answered that no one in the world was qualified to be his teacher. His teacher could only be himself. I was a little unhappy at first, but then I realized that he was right. Wasn't I also self-taught? But I still wanted him to take fewer detours on the path of cultivation, so I said that I would accept a disciple on behalf of my master. He asked who our master was, and I told him that we didn't have a master, so he agreed. "
After a short pause, the Headmaster continued, "I've always wanted your Youngest Uncle to take fewer detours on the path of cultivation. But later on, I realized that this method of education was indeed problematic."
Ning Que asked confusedly, "What problem?"
The Headmaster said, "He didn't take any detours. He walked too fast and could fly at any time."
This sentence was difficult to understand, but Ning Que understood it.
"Your Uncle-Master's realm increased too quickly. I began to feel uneasy, so I continued to travel the world. I met your Eldest Senior Brother in a small town, and then I accepted Jun Mo."
"After that, your Youngest Uncle left the Academy on a donkey. He first entered Chang 'an and wandered around the world. Then, he destroyed the Devil's Doctrine and finally returned to the Academy. He grew at an unimaginable speed. Everyone thought that destroying the Devil's Doctrine with a single sword was your Youngest Uncle's peak state. In fact, after he returned to the Academy, he became even more powerful."
"He finally experienced the same distress as me and had the same doubts about the sky. So he decided to fight with Haotian. I objected and told him that he couldn't defeat Haotian. But he told me that he wouldn't know if he could win without a fight. Senior Brother, of course, this kind of thing should be discussed after a fight. "
Ning Que lowered his head in silence. He thought about the Second Brother's way of speaking and doing. He did have some of the Youngest Uncle's spirit. Then he looked up at the Headmaster and asked calmly, "And then?"
The Headmaster was silent for a moment and said, "And then he went to fight."
"And then he lost."
"And then he died."
…
…
After saying these three sentences, the Headmaster smiled. His smile seemed a little lonely and desolate.
Ning Que was far away from the spiritual world of the Headmaster and the Youngest Uncle, but he could feel the Headmaster's emotions at this time.
The more powerful a person was, the lonelier he would be. The Drunkard and the Butcher were not the same kind of people. The Headmaster finally met a like-minded Younger Brother in the mortal world. But they didn't have the chance to fight side by side, so they parted ways.
The Headmaster calmed down and said, "After that, I put all my energy into teaching your Eldest Brother and Second Brother. I summed up some principles with my experience and past in the human world. I taught Manman with benevolence and righteousness and Junmo with etiquette. They didn't disappoint me and learned very well."
"Unfortunately, they were learning from me. No matter how well they learned, they could only be the second me or the second Ke Haoran. There was not much hope for them to defeat Haotian. She was your Third Sister. Her cultivation was different from others, but she was still in the cultivation world of Haotian. "
"So I began to think about other possibilities. I traveled around the world and looked for the most talented people in various fields. I let them go back to the Academy to study, such as your Fifth Brother Song Qian and Wang Chi. But this time, I didn't try to let them climb on the road of cultivation. Instead, I let them study their hobbies and try to find a way to break the world of Haotian in the world of numbers and lines."
"When I was in the West-Hill, I told you that the starting point of my cultivation was Haotian Taoism. So I set my eyes on Haotian Taoism again. Your Twelfth Brother Chen Pipi was a rare genius of Haotian Taoism. He had the best characteristics of Haotian Taoism, but he was not stale at all. So I chose him."
"Unfortunately, the time was too short. Now it seems that my attempts may not succeed. Even if there is a possibility, I can't see it. Fortunately, I still have you."
Ning Que had been listening quietly. Until he was mentioned, he looked up in surprise and said, "Headmaster, my cultivation talent is much worse than Chen Pipi's. If we talk about Talisman Taoism, mathematics, or chess, I am not qualified to be compared with my Senior Brothers and Sisters. Why did you choose me?"
"First of all, because you are a very selfish person."
"Headmaster, are you praising me or belittling me?"
The Headmaster said, "A thousand years ago, I educated the world with benevolence and righteousness, solidified morality with etiquette, and reduced chaos with law. Now, whether it is the Tang Empire or your two Senior Brothers, they can all practice these perfectly. However, these can only allow the peaceful survival of human society, but cannot produce a strong enough destructive power. Only selfishness can drive human beings forward."
Ning Que said, "I have only heard of love saving the world, but I have never heard of selfishness saving the world."
The Headmaster said, "Sometimes, destroying the old world is saving the new world."
Ning Que sighed and said, "You put me under a lot of pressure."
The Headmaster laughed and then gradually stopped. He looked at him quietly and said, "Of course, the most important reason why I chose you as my last disciple is that I can never understand you."
"Wei Guangming saw a little boy in Chang 'an on the Peach Mountain. Of course, I saw it too. He thought you were the wife of Yama, but I don't think so. But I really can't understand how there can be a person in the world who was born with knowledge. And you look so ordinary. "
The Headmaster said, "It was not until recently that I was finally sure that you are not from the world of Haotian. You are from another world. Then I got the answer."
Just like how to defeat Haotian, the fact that Ning Que was a time traveler was not mentioned during the journey. But the Headmaster and he had already tacitly accepted it.
Ning Que looked down at the scorch mark left by the Vermilion Bird on the floor and was silent for a long time. Then he looked up at Sangsang. He had nothing to worry about when it came to the wisdom of the Headmaster. The Headmaster would definitely not think that he was a monster and directly suppress him. But what about Sangsang?
What would Sangsang think?
Sangsang did not think of anything. She was a little surprised, but there was no fear or repulsion. She just looked at Ning Que curiously. When Ning Que looked at her, she smiled.
Ning Que's heart warmed. He did not care that Sangsang was the daughter of Yama. He only cared that Sangsang was Sangsang. Sangsang did not care which world he was from. As long as he was himself, that was enough.
"I have not found a way to defeat Haotian yet. Your Youngest Uncle did not succeed. No one in this world has ever succeeded. That is because this is Haotian's world."
The Headmaster looked at Ning Que and said with a smile, "But you are not from the world of Haotian. At least your soul and your thoughts are not the original creatures of this world. If this world is a dead end of the cycle of life, death, and light, and you are an outsider, then you are the one to break it. That is very good."
Ning Que had previously said that he was under a lot of pressure. Hearing these words, he finally felt the real pressure. He subconsciously looked at the clouds outside the window and looked at the azure sky. Suddenly, he felt that the whole sky had become something incomparably heavy, pressing down on his consciousness and heart to the point that they were about to break apart.
Was he going to go against Heaven?
It was an interesting story in novels for the weak to say that they wanted to go against Heaven. But for the Headmaster, who had been quiet in the human world for thousands of years, thinking hard and trying to break the blue sky and let the world breathe fresh air, it was not a story, but the most vivid and heroic struggle.
Ning Que was a very selfish person. He had never thought about fighting for anything except a few things. But at this moment, he suddenly found that he had to fight for the liberation of all mankind.
What does it have to do with me?
That was what he was thinking, but he couldn't say it.
Just as the Headmaster said, he was not from this world. But he came to this world and felt so much sadness, pain, parting, anger, joy, and happiness. Why did all this happen?
Everything had a reason. Life had a purpose.
But this reason, this purpose, was so heavy that he could not bear it.
He raised his head and looked at the Headmaster quietly. He was silent for a long time.
Just when the Headmaster and Sangsang thought that he was going to refuse or escape.
Ning Que asked, "How can I be as strong as you?"
