The person on the couch was the Abbey Dean.
He used to be invincible, but now he was plagued by evil. He looked like an ordinary old man who was about to die, but his eyes were still so calm, as if he could see through everything.
Long Qing knelt in front of the couch and did not dare to look up. He felt that all his thoughts could not be hidden.
"I am not as good as the Headmaster, and you are not as good as Ning Que. This is natural." The Abbey Dean looked at him and said in a weak voice. There were many pauses in just a few words.
Long Qing looked up and did not dare to look into his eyes, nor did he dare to look at the deep or shallow knife marks on his face. His eyes fell on the layout of the quiet room.
It was a very simple quiet room, similar to the prison cells in the You Prison in Peach Mountain. What surprised him was that he did not feel any inhibition in the Zhishou Abbey.
The Abbey Dean looked at the expression on his face and knew what he was thinking. He smiled and said, "In Chang 'an, I understood the word" tranquility "and rejected the will of Haotian at that moment. That was extremely disrespectful, so Haotian didn't let me die. Instead, he let me experience this pain with my life. You're right. There is no inhibition in the Abbey, only the will of Haotian. I'm like a prisoner now. If I can't reflect on my mistakes, I may leave, but I don't know what will happen to me after I leave."
The big tactical array in the Zhishou Abbey could stop outsiders from entering and leaving, but it could not stop Chen Mou from entering and leaving. Haotian did not place any restrictions on him. His restrictions came from his respect for Haotian and his regret for the mistakes he had made. This lack of restrictions was the greatest torture.
Enduring the stench of the bed, Long Qing said humbly, "I will accompany you to take care of you. After you recover, you can at least go to the lakeside."
The Abbey Dean said, "I thought that your eyes would immediately turn grey when you entered the room. I did not expect you to be much more patient than before."
There was only one skill in the world that could turn a cultivator's eyes grey. It was the Grey Eyes Taoism skill recorded in the "Sha" Handscroll of the Tomes of Arcane and originated from the Practice of Taotie of the Devil's Doctrine.
Long Qing knelt down again and said in a trembling voice, "How dare I have such a rebellious idea?"
The Abbey Dean looked at him and said with a smile, "Halfman Taoist was half a master to you. Didn't you suck him dry? The word 'treason' is the most suitable word to describe you. "
Long Qing clearly knew that the Abbey Dean was now a cripple and that he could kill him with just a finger. However, he still did not dare to raise his head in fear. It was not because Chen Pipi had told him in the You Prison that the Abbey Dean no longer had any Psyche Power and that it was useless to use the Grey Eyes. It was because he was really afraid.
Back then, on the shores of the South Sea, he had already decided to be an ordinary merchant and live the life of an ordinary person. However, when he saw that wooden boat on the surface of the sea, he finally understood his unwillingness.
A black peach blossom grew on the side of the wooden boat, gently trembling in the slightly fishy sea breeze. He had learned from the Abbey Dean and was sent back to the Zhishou Abbey. He had a series of adventures and finally recovered his power. A black peach blossom also grew on his chest, covering the hole that Ning Que had pierced through.
For him, meeting the Abbey Dean on the shores of the South Sea was the greatest Lucky Chance of his life. However, it was also from that day onwards that the black peach blossom on his chest could only tremble in the wind of the South Sea.
He had indeed thought of using the Grey Eyes to directly devour the Abbey Dean's cultivation state. Even though Chen Pipi had seen through his plan, he still wanted to try it after entering the Zhishou Abbey. However, when he knelt in front of the couch, he realized that those thoughts were delusional. He had the courage to suck the Halfman Taoist dry, but he did not have the courage to look at the Abbey Dean.
"You disappoint me." The Abbey Dean looked at him and sighed.
Long Qing lowered his head even more and did not dare to reply.
"Do you know why I took you as my disciple back then? It was not because of your talent. Although you were known for your talent in cultivation in the secular world, you should know very well that there are many people who are more talented than you in the Abbey, the Abbey, the School, and the Second Floor. It was also not because of your will and determination. You gave up after being shot by Ning Que and became a cripple. Have you ever thought about what Ning Que's state of mind was like when he could not cultivate? "
The Abbey Dean looked at his pale cheeks and said with pity, "I chose you because I thought I saw the destruction and madness in your bones. I thought you would do anything to achieve your goal, no matter cruel or rebellious. You don't have a heart, so you don't have love. You don't have love, so you are fearless and disrespectful. That's why you can ignore all rules and see the threshold of the Lawless Realm."
"When you used the Gray Eyes to absorb the Halfman Taoist, killing everywhere and committing all kinds of evil in the Wilderness, I was actually very gratified. Because at that time, you still seemed to have countless possibilities. But today, you don't dare to look up at me. I am disappointed in you not because you once thought of deceiving your master and killing me, but because you still have fear even though you do not have a heart. You have such a good opportunity but you do not grasp it. "
After hearing these words, Long Qing was soaked in cold sweat. He said in a hoarse voice, "That is because I still want to learn from you. I thought I could become strong enough this way."
The Abbey Dean said expressionlessly, "I am already a cripple. What else can you learn from me?"
Long Qing raised his head with difficulty and said, "You still have wisdom as vast as the ocean."
The Abbey Dean thought of the thousands of knives in Chang 'an and said indifferently, "Wisdom is not as mysterious as people think. It is just the way of doing things. Compared to absolute power, sometimes it seems very weak."
Long Qing said, "I still have power now, and … I will have more and more power. That is why I want to obtain your wisdom and learn how to use these powers."
The Abbey Dean looked at him quietly and said, "After you learn these powers, what will you do?"
Long Qing looked at the knife marks on the Abbey Dean's face and said, "I want to challenge Ning Que."
The Abbey Dean said, "Just for such a boring reason?"
He was crippled by Ning Que in Chang 'an. Logically speaking, he should hate Ning Que. However, when he heard what Long Qing said, he was indifferent and even thought it was boring.
Long Qing could not understand what the Abbey Dean was thinking. After thinking for a while, he said, "This is what I want to do the most. Maybe it is a little sad, but I seem to be living because of that person."
"It is indeed sad." The Abbey Dean said.
Long Qing said, "Life always needs a reason."
The Abbey Dean said, "When human beings try their best to find reasons for their actions, Haotian will laugh. Since she thinks I am disrespectful, why would she let you learn from me?"
After a moment of silence, Long Qing said, "She knows my loyalty and cowardice. And maybe … she needs this reason from me. So even if she laughs, she will not stop me."
The Abbey Dean said, "If she no longer needs a reason to kill Ning Que, what will you do?"
Long Qing's face turned paler and he did not know how to answer.
The Abbey Dean looked at him quietly and suddenly said, "Let me tell you what to do. The reason you find for your actions can only be your own reason. You have already betrayed Haotian once, why not do it again? You can only be loyal to yourself, and the source of your cowardice can only be your own selfishness. As the saying goes, treason and heresy, if you dare not even go against Heaven, how can you be called treason? If you can't even let go of Taoism, how can you not be called Taoism? "
Long Qing's eyes were filled with fear. He subconsciously looked out of the window, as if he felt someone was eavesdropping.
After being shot into a wasteland by Ning Que, he had bitterly and bitterly decided to give up his faith. When he swallowed the Halfman Taoist with his Gray Eyes and jumped off the cliff, he had also decided to stand on the side of darkness and no longer follow the footsteps of light. However, in the end, he found that the darkness he chose was still the darkness of Haotian. At that moment, he felt unprecedentedly relaxed, and his respect for Haotian became even more unshakable.
"Don't worry that she can hear us."
The Abbey Dean said, "Haotian is omniscient and omnipotent. That is because she stands high enough above the human world. After coming to the human world, she is just a little higher than us."
Long Qing seemed to understand, but he still could not hide his fear.
The Abbey Dean slowly reached out his left hand in front of Long Qing and said, "Go back to your room."
Hearing this, Long Qing was sure that the Abbey Dean was willing to let him cultivate in the Zhishou Abbey. He was overjoyed and quickly took out the "Sha" Handscroll of the Tomes of Arcane that he had stolen.
The Abbey Dean did not take the Tomes of Arcane and said, "The Seven Tomes of Arcane are the weapons that Haotian gave to Taoism. The so-called weapons are knowledge and wisdom. Since you want to learn my wisdom, this Tomes of Arcane is in your hands. You can also read the other five Tomes of Arcane. I want something else. "
Long Qing vaguely understood what the Abbey Dean wanted, but he did not understand why. He took out the black peach blossom and respectfully placed it in the Abbey Dean's hand.
The Abbey Dean gently turned the stem of the black peach blossom and asked, "What is this?"
Long Qing did not understand, but he honestly answered, "This is the peach blossom of your disciple."
The Abbey Dean said, "If you die, what will happen to this peach blossom of life?"
Any cultivator would definitely understand the meaning of a Natal Item. This was the knowledge that must be mastered at the beginning of cultivation. So Long Qing still did not understand why the Abbey Dean would ask such a simple question. He said, "After I die, this peach blossom of life will wither and never come back to life again."
The Abbey Dean looked at the black peach blossom between his fingers and asked, "What if it is another Natal Item?"
Long Qing said, "If it is a Natal Sword, it can be refined again. But that is equivalent to dying once."
The Abbey Dean signaled him to leave the quiet room. Then, the room became quiet again. Wind came in from the window, but it could not blow away the stench from the bed.
He struggled to get up and inserted Long Qing's peach blossom of life into the sand table in front of the window. He looked at the black peach blossom trembling in the wind and thought of the peach blossoms all over the Peach Mountain. He smiled.
Haotian came to the human world, the Zhishou Abbey became an abandoned prison, and the most powerful cultivator in the human world became a useless man. But the real story had just begun.
