Ye Su asked, "Can we reach the end of the cultivation path by relying on external objects?"
Second Brother said, "Haotian Taoism pays attention to nature. That is wrong."
Ye Su was slightly stunned and asked, "Why do you say so?"
"What are external objects? If you and I are considered external objects, then the armor is an external object, the sword is an external object, and the aura between heaven and earth is an external object. However, everyone is using them. "
The Second Brother said, "Travel thousands of miles with the help of a carriage and a boat, and start farming with the help of a knife and fire. There are few differences between humans and animals, but they are good at using things. This is why humans are humans. How can they be called things?"
These simple words made Ye Su ponder for a long time. Then, he sighed and said, "I originally thought that you were upright, strict, old-fashioned, and didn't know how to be harmonious. But today, I know that you're the real understanding one."
Second Brother said, "Propriety is reason. After careful consideration, if you decide that a rule is reasonable, you will not retreat even if there are thousands of people in front of you. That is propriety."
"I heard that Mr. Ke once said, 'I will retreat even if there are thousands of people in front of me, but I will not retreat.'"
"That's exactly what I mean."
Ye Su looked at him and said seriously, "The Academy has always been doing things that make you happy, because you believe that these things are right. However, the truth comes from Haotian, and the reason is judged by people. Different positions will bring different rights and wrongs. How do you judge whether it is reasonable or not? "
"You are right. Different positions will bring different rights and wrongs. But if you choose a position, the right and wrongs will naturally be determined. That is the so-called reason."
Second Brother said, "The position of the Academy is the position of human beings. We have no love or hate for heaven and earth. We love things that are good for people, such as rice fields. We hate things that are not good for people, such as disasters. The same is true for rules. If there are benefits, we will abide by them, and if there are no benefits, we will abandon them."
Ye Su asked, "The Academy's reason comes from the pros and cons?"
Second Brother said, "Yes."
Ye Su said bitterly, "Isn't that a little too realistic?"
Second Brother said, "All the love and hate of human beings originate from reality."
Ye Su laughed at himself. He took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. The blood was very thick, just like the layer that settled at the bottom of the wine barrel.
The Second Brother knew that this person was in a bad situation. Seeing that he was deep in thought, he thought about his view of life and death and Taoism. He wanted to say that if something happened, he could go to the Academy to hide.
But he knew Ye Su's pride, so he only said, "Take care."
Hearing this, Ye Su laughed and said with a happy expression, "I've traveled around various countries and cultivated for many years. Finally, when I'm in the autumn of being crippled, I'm able to receive Jun Mo's blessing. I didn't let myself down."
With that, he turned and left the Verdant Canyon.
Second Brother looked at that lonely figure and slowly inserted the iron sword in his hand into the field beside him.
With this movement, countless cracks appeared on his armor, and then pieces fell off. The blackened metal fragments looked like the common broken tiles in Chang 'an City.
After a while, pieces of armor were piled up around Second Senior Brother's feet, and his clothes were soaked in blood.
…
…
To the north of the field was the green mountains and the Verdant Canyon, and to the south was the military camp that stretched for more than ten miles.
Ye Su didn't go north or south, but east. He kept walking along the green mountains until he came to the Great Swamp. After passing the Great Swamp by boat, he would arrive at the Kingdom of Song, and then the sea.
He didn't know why he was walking in that direction, but he vaguely felt that there was something or someone in the East Sea or the Kingdom of Song that was attracting him.
Somewhere in the wilderness, Ye Su's path was blocked.
What stopped him was a flower of blood.
The ink-red Robe of Judgment fell quietly. Ye Hongyu asked, "Where are you going?"
Ye Su looked at her and said with a smile, "I lost, so I'm going to relax."
Ye Hongyu said, "You should know that you're seriously injured. If you don't get treated soon, it will be very troublesome. The Zhishou Abbey is in the south, and the Divine Hall is in the south. Why are you going east?"
Although Ye Su didn't see it, he guessed that the two hands in the Robe of Judgment had clenched into fists. He felt the anger in her heart and felt warm.
He said with a smile, "I've already become a cripple. How can I be cured?"
Ye Hongyu's fists were indeed clenched. She was indeed very angry. After hearing this, she became even angrier. She was so angry that her body trembled, and the blood-red robe fluttered in the autumn wind.
He was her brother, the person she respected the most in her life, her idol, and the goal she had been chasing since childhood. She would always look at his back, wanting to catch up but never able to. Even though she had become the Great Divine Priest of Judgment, she was still the little girl who followed her brother and cried …
However, at this moment, he said that he was a cripple …
How could you be a cripple!
How could you admit that you were a cripple so easily and calmly?
"Even if you can't cultivate and are ordinary from now on, you are still extraordinary. How can you be disheartened? Where did your pride and confidence go?"
There was no emotion on Ye Hongyu's face, but her voice was trembling.
Ye Su looked at her quietly and said, "I'm neither Ning Que nor Long Qing. I have nothing to do with Yama, and Haotian will not bless me. I'm just the Ye Su who cultivated diligently and lived peacefully. That's why I'm a cripple. My Snow Mountain and Ocean of Qi have been destroyed. I'm just an ordinary person now."
"I know why you're angry."
He continued with a smile, and his expression became very gentle. "When I stopped you from killing Long Qing by the North Yan Lake, you began to suspect me, and you were angry because of my lack of courage."
"You are my sister, but I'm actually weaker than you. This is indeed something to be angry about. However, I have to remind you that I actually began to suspect you a long time ago, and then I failed today. At this moment, I can't help but wonder if this is Haotian's punishment for me."
Ye Hongyu's expression changed slightly.
Ye Su suddenly laughed and said, "Why are you still thinking about these meaningless things at this moment? I had a good fight, and that's enough. "
Ye Hongyu said, "Only victory can make me feel happy."
"That's you and Ning Que, not the rest of us."
Ye Su said with a smile, "People like me and Jun Mo are still a bit old-fashioned after all."
Ye Hongyu did not know what to say. She and Ning Que would probably never understand why the Battle of Verdant Canyon would end up like this.
Ye Su looked at the green mountains not far away and said calmly, "I used to want to be famous when I was young, but I was lucky that I didn't get it. Therefore, I spent my life on the sword. In terms of swordsmanship, I can rank in the top three in the world. Unfortunately, all three of us are in this field."
"Failure is not scary. I've been defeated more than once over the years, but today's failure was the most thorough. However, I don't think it's sad. Instead, I think it's a good thing."
Ye Su looked back at Ye Hongyu and said with a smile, "The Academy is essentially the way of entering the human realm, so the way of the Academy is based on reality. Although I lost, I vaguely understand something."
"Liu Bai is about to fight. You should go to the Verdant Canyon to watch the battle, because this battle is very meaningful to you."
"What about you?"
"From today on, I will be an ordinary person. The word 'sword' has finally left my life. It no longer means anything to me. I will have more time to think about other things."
Ye Su said, "Continue to pursue the way of the sword. One day, you will surpass me. In fact, I've been waiting for you to surpass me all these years. Unfortunately, I've fallen behind now. I hope you can forgive me for this matter."
After saying this, he reached out with a smile and took off Ye Hongyu's divine crown. Then, he ruffled her black hair like a bird's nest, looking very childish.
Ye Hongyu's body suddenly tightened. She was not used to this action.
For so many years, Ye Su had never done such a tender action to her.
She was very nervous, but also very warm and satisfied.
So, she obediently lowered her head.
Ye Su left.
After a long time, Ye Hongyu raised her head, still longing for the previous feeling.
She looked at the gradually disappearing figure, and the sadness in the depths of her eyes disappeared.
More than ten deacons of the Judicial Department of the West-Hill Divine Palace and several West-Hill Divine Guards appeared around her.
"Protect him."
She said expressionlessly. Then, she turned around and walked toward the Verdant Canyon.
She was not angry, because it was a fair battle. Her brother had gotten what he wanted, so he was happy. And as Ye Su had said before he left, it was time for Liu Bai to take action.
Because Jun Mo, who had just defeated Ye Su, was undoubtedly the most powerful Jun Mo.
…
…
Second Brother sat under the canopy, quietly looking at the direction of the field.
Mu You carefully picked out the armor pieces that were left on his body. Then, she took off her helmet and began to comb his hair again. Obviously, she was not used to it.
Wang Chi held a jar of medicine in his left hand and a paper bag of white sugar in his right hand. He said, "This medicine is very strong, so it is very bitter. If you can't drink it, you can swallow it with the sugar."
Second Brother looked at the white sugar in his hand and said unhappily, "Life and death don't matter, not to mention bitter medicine."
After saying this, he took the medicine that had been cooled to the best temperature from Wang Chi's hand and swallowed it like a warrior drinking wine. His expression did not change, but his eyebrows slightly trembled.
For him to be unable to control his expression, one could imagine how unpleasant the black medicine must be to drink.
Wang Chi handed over the paper bag with a bitter face.
Second Senior Martial Brother finished his candy and combed his hair into a bun.
Mu You waved the mirror in front of him, then put it away and helped him tie the crown.
The iron sword was constantly knocked on the stove, and Sixth Brother was sweating profusely.
Mu You asked, "Do you want to take a break?"
Second Brother stood up and put on the Academy uniform with her help. He said, "No, I can't."
He could not rest, because he would be discouraged if he rested.
He could not rest, because his opponent would not let him rest.
A carriage came from the south and went straight to the Verdant Canyon.
The carriage was very quiet. There was no coachman.
He was in the carriage.
