After Master Tam Yuan passed away, it was Chu Xiu and the others who buried Master Tam Yuan.
Generally speaking, the martial artists of the Great Guangming Temple were used to leaving behind Sarira after they passed away. Not only did they want to be worshiped by their descendants, but they also wanted to integrate their own strength into the Sarira, so that they could use the last bit of strength for their disciples.
Tan Yuan did not have a disciple. Although Chu Xiu and Fang Qi Shao had received Master Tam Yuan's cultivation method, it could only be considered as teaching and not preaching. Therefore, Master Tam Yuan did not leave behind any Sarira, but directly dispersed all the strength in his body, returning to the Eastern Sea.
After Long Tianying completed the funeral in grief, he cupped his hands towards Chu Xiu and Fang Qi Shao and said, "Young Hero Fang, Young Master Chu, I have already completed the task of sending Master Tam Yuan home. Next, I will return to the Eastern Sea. The two of you will take your leave."
Chu Xiu nodded and said, "Take care, President Long. In the future, if there is anything you need from me, Chu Xiu, please do not hesitate to ask. If I can help, I will absolutely not decline."
Long Tianying was a person who valued friendship, this was something that Chu Xiu could see.
Of course, Chu Xiu wanted to make friends with Long Tianying not only because he valued friendship, but also because Long Tianying had the ability, which might be useful in the future.
Although the Cetacean Society was far away in the overseas land, they still had to trade with the Central Plains. Not to mention their strength, but their financial strength was not weak.
Long Tianying thanked Chu Xiu and directly left. He had a good impression of Chu Xiu. At least, Chu Xiu did not turn his back on him after obtaining the power of inheritance. He was not as unbearable as the rumors of Jianghu made him out to be.
But even so, Long Tianying would only befriend Chu Xiu instead of helping Master Tam Yuan for free.
Chu Xiu was only the successor of Master Tam Yuan's cultivation method, not Master Tam Yuan's disciple. Therefore, with the death of Master Tam Yuan, the kindness of the past naturally ended, and it was impossible for it to be passed on to Chu Xiu.
After Long Tianying left, looking at Master Tam Yuan's grave in front of him, Fang Qi Shao suddenly sighed and said with a rare serious expression, "Brother Chu, what do you think people live for? I felt that Master Tam Yuan was at a disadvantage. It's not a problem for an expert in the True Fire Spirit Refinement Realm to live for more than four hundred years. But now, Master Tam Yuan is only a hundred years old, and he's already buried. Is it worth it to exchange his three hundred years of lifespan for the lives of those people? If he didn't die, he might be able to save more people. "
Chu Xiu looked ahead, narrowed his eyes and said, "Sometimes, accounts can't be calculated like this. Only when you have a thought in your heart can you achieve something. Ten thousand years is too long, and some people would rather seize the day.
For Master Tam Yuan, he didn't regret what he did in the past hundred years. It was worth it. If you ask people what they live for, everyone's answer is different. But if they die without regrets, then it's worth it.
What about you? Have you thought clearly about what you live for in this life? "
Fang Qi Shao was stunned by Chu Xiu's question. He looked at the sword in his hand without blinking. The usually talkative Fang Qi Shao was actually silent for a long time.
After a quarter of an hour, Fang Qi Shao faintly said, "What do I live for? I should be living for the sake of living. Do you feel that I talk a lot? "
Chu Xiu didn't speak. Fang Qi Shao didn't talk a lot, but he talked a lot.
But Fang Qi Shao didn't wait for Chu Xiu to answer and continued, "I talk a lot every day, even to the point that my Senior Brothers and Junior Brothers in Swordking City are impatient. That's because I'm afraid. I'm afraid that one day I'll die and I won't be able to talk so much.
In fact, I was very miserable when I was young, so miserable that I almost didn't have the chance to talk.
You know the Western Regions. Big countries are at war, small countries are at war, and bandits are everywhere.
When I was five years old, my village was slaughtered by bandits. I hid in a water jar and escaped everything.
Later, the bandits left, but I still didn't dare to come out of the water jar. It wasn't until three days later when I couldn't stand the hunger anymore that I crawled out. But no one in the entire village could talk.
That was the first time I was so close to death. Since then, I didn't like the darkness and silence. As long as I can bathe in the sunlight every day and live, I'm satisfied. "
Chu Xiu looked at Fang Qi Shao with a surprised expression. If Fang Qi Shao hadn't told him these secrets, only a few people in the pugilistic world would know that his background was so miserable. Similarly, Fang Qi Shao's requirements were also so low.
Most of the martial artists in the pugilistic world fought for fame and fortune. But ever since Chu Xiu met Fang Qi Shao, he didn't care much about fame and fortune.
But now, Chu Xiu knew that it wasn't that Fang Qi Shao didn't care about fame and fortune, but that in his heart, nothing was more important than living.
Only those who had experienced death knew the value of living. In the great terror between life and death, some things were not so important.
When he said these things, Fang Qi Shao's tone didn't contain any sadness, as if he was just narrating a simple story.
After that, Fang Qi Shao smiled at Chu Xiu and said, "Brother Chu, when you asked me these questions just now, I told you all my secrets. What about you? What are you living for in this life? "
After thinking for a moment, Chu Xiu suddenly said, "If someone told you from the beginning that your fate was already predestined, would you accept it or resist it?"
Fang Qi Shao was stunned and said, "Are you kidding me? Nothing in this world is predestined from the beginning. If fate really can't be changed, then what's the point of studying the divination masters of Taoism and Buddhism? Anyway, I'm going to die, so I'll just follow fate. Even martial artists like us, if everything is really predestined, then what's the point of cultivating? Find a divination master to tell your fortune. If you don't have any achievements in the future, then no matter how much you cultivate, it'll be a waste of time. "
Chu Xiu said softly, "Yes, nothing in this world is predestined from the beginning. The saying that man can conquer nature is very cliché. Although no one says it out loud, everyone still does it. You asked me what I'm living for in this life. Even I can't explain it clearly. I just don't want to be imprisoned by fate. I just want to stand at the peak and see the scenery below. "
Fang Qi Shao raised his eyebrows and said, "How high is the peak?"
Chu Xiu stared at Fang Qi Shao and said in a deep voice, "Very high, very high, so high that no one can stand higher than me!"
Fang Qi Shao also stared at Chu Xiu. He finally realized that he and Chu Xiu were really two different kinds of people. Chu Xiu's ambition was bigger than others could imagine!
However, right at this moment, Seventh Young Master Fang revealed a trace of a smile and broke the heavy atmosphere. He chuckled and said, "Brother Chu, the higher you stand, the more miserable your fall will be. You have to consider this carefully."
Chu Xiu said lightly, "Falling from the peak is not scary. What's scary is that you don't even have the qualifications to stand at the peak and fall."
Fang Qi Shao shrugged his shoulders. Although he spoke more than Chu Xiu, it was a pity that he didn't know how to respond to Chu Xiu's words.
"That's right, Brother Chu, after you bury Master Tam Yuan, are you preparing to return to the Guanzhong torture room?" Fang Qi Shao changed the topic and asked.
Chu Xiu shook his head and said, "The Guanzhong torture room is fine for now. I've already come out, so I'm not in a rush to go back. I'm preparing to go to West Chu to see a friend before returning to the Guanzhong torture room. "
The plan to go to West Chu was something Chu Xiu had thought about on the way here. Simply put, he was going to West Chu for Lu Fengxian.
But Chu Xiu was going to find Lu Fengxian, not just to catch up with Lu Fengxian, but rather to help Lu Fengxian obtain the ancient Demon God Lu Wenhou's inheritance!
In the original plot, the place where Lu Fengxian obtained the inheritance was in West Chu, around this time period.
Although there was Chu Xiu's interference and Lu Fengxian still returned to West Chu, whether or not he would come was still a variable.
Therefore, Chu Xiu, who had just said that man could conquer nature, was now hoping that the future had not changed.
Of course it was not a big deal even if it changed. With the power that Chu Xiu had now, in his previous life, Lu Fengxian could rely on herself to obtain Lu Wenhou's inheritance. Now with Chu Xiu's help, the chances were much higher.
Those famous characters in the future, they either climbed up step by step, or they obtained some kind of opportunity and directly soared into the sky, becoming a dragon.
Lu Fengxian's opportunity to become a dragon was in Lu Wenhou's inheritance. Of course, even if Lu Fengxian did not have this inheritance, his strength was not weak, enough to compete with the disciples of those large sects.
Only cultivation methods were an innate factor, the further one went, the greater the gap would be. If Lu Fengxian could obtain Lu Wenhou's inheritance, then this gap would be completely closed.
There were very few people who used Halberd as a weapon in Jianghu, and those who could use Halberd to its peak were even fewer. It could be said that Lu Wenhou's inheritance was simply prepared for Lu Fengxian. Even if others obtained it, they would not be able to use it to its fullest potential.
When Fang Qi Shao heard Chu Xiu say this, he suddenly smiled and said, "Brother Chu, how about I come with you? You can go to West Chu to see your friends and I will also go to West Chu to see the High Hill Dong Family's Mountain Opening Ceremony and join in on the fun. "
Chu Xiu had a strange look in his eyes when he heard this. Lu Wenhou's inheritance was found during the Mountain Opening Ceremony.
The so called Mountain Opening Ceremony was a tradition of the West Chu Ten Thousand Mountains.
Most of the West Chu Lands were surrounded by wild forests, so some sects or families that lived in the mountains would organize people to cut down forests and open up a part of the forest.
In the West Chu Ten Thousand Great Mountains, there was no telling what kind of danger they would encounter, fierce beasts, or even some unexpected things. So every family would hold a ceremony before they started cutting the forest, commonly known as the Mountain Opening Ceremony. It could be considered a special feature of West Chu.
