Enlightened Masters were existences that had begun to grasp the essence of Heaven and Earth. Their every movement was the embodiment of the rules of Heaven and Earth.
The great battle between the two Enlightened Masters of the present age caused the clouds to change and the mighty river to surge.
And Jiang Wang was flying, flying, flying with all his might.
He tried his best to speed up and leave the battlefield as soon as possible.
The battlefield behind him was rumbling.
That rumbling was questioning his Dao Heart.
He saw Ku Jue's injuries and knew that the old monk might not be Zhuang Gaoxian's match.
Ku Jue was such a boastful and arrogant person, but he secretly sent a message to Jiang Wang to escape first. This undoubtedly showed that he was powerless.
The yellow-faced old monk, who acted like a tyrant in Xuankong Temple, had no time to boast. He had to face reality. This showed how bad the situation was.
This feeling of being a burden made the proud Jiang Wang feel even more humiliated and painful.
But he could only run without looking back.
The only thing he could do to help Ku Jue was to get away.
Still too weak …
Still too weak!
He flew with all his might, flying at the maximum speed that his body could bear.
Only the pain of being in such an extreme state could slightly comfort his heart.
The sounds of battle gradually faded away. The aura that shook Heaven and Earth also slowly disappeared.
Jiang Wang didn't know how long he had been running for. He only knew that he was running and had to run far away.
The long distance was covered by his body. When he finally stopped, he was alone. He was landing on a barren mountain. He had already passed the Pegasus Plain, which he thought was the safest place.
He didn't pay attention to the route when he was running for his life. He only had a rough estimation. He didn't know whether he was in Wei Country or Wo Country. If Wei Country was a bit to the south, Wo Country was a bit to the north.
Or maybe the two countries weren't close to each other.
This barren mountain was very cold and lonely. Other than a few birds that were startled by his landing, there was no other movement.
He had been running for too long.
He had been running since he left Xin 'an City. He had been walking on the edge of life and death between the Water Residence and the Demon Den. He had finally managed to find light in endless despair and extinguish Zhuang Chengqian. But now the Demon Den was collapsing and he had to face a new round of pursuit.
By now, the sky had darkened.
The stars hung high in the sky.
Jiang Wang sat alone at the top of the mountain, cross-legged in an orderly manner. He held his sword tightly in his hand and stared blankly at the starry sky.
He had once told An An that his father was one of the stars, hanging in the sky and watching over them.
While comforting his sister, he also hoped that it was true.
Actually, he had never thought that Ku Jue would come to save him.
He had never expected any luck. He had never counted on anyone.
But the pain still came.
After being repeatedly rejected by him as a disciple, he still traveled thousands of miles to come here.
He kept saying the words "Teacher".
At the moment of life and death, the figure standing in front of him was not tall, but it gave him a sense of security that he had not felt in a long time.
He felt like he was being protected by someone. There were also people shielding him from the wind and rain.
The Dao Energy in his body could not be sustained, and he could no longer fly at his maximum speed.
But that was not why he stopped.
After such a long time, there was no longer any need to escape.
If Zhuang Gaoxian wanted to catch up to him, he would have done so long ago.
Perhaps Ku Jue had stopped him, or perhaps he had chosen to give up. In short, the threat from Zhuang Gaoxian was no longer a concern.
He sat here, waiting for a result.
A result that might not necessarily be there — if, if nothing had happened to the old monk Ku Jue, he would have been able to find Jiang Wang. Just like how he had sensed Jiang Wang's danger from thousands of miles away.
This wait lasted for an entire night.
He did not close his eyes. He held his sword tightly for an entire night.
Perhaps only Jiang Wang himself knew how long this night was.
He watched as the sky slowly filled with stars, and then watched as they dimmed one by one. He watched as the deep darkness swept across the sky like a tide receding. Then, the sun rose, and the world was bright.
When the sky brightened, his heart sank.
The world was so bright, and he was alone.
Jiang Wang did not speak. He just stood up silently, brushed away the morning fog, and waited for an entire night.
He had always been resolute and strong.
He roughly identified the direction and decided that he should go in that direction.
Just as he took a step —
Bang!
A figure fell from the sky and landed in front of him. It crashed violently into the ground with a loud bang.
The person curled up in pain was a skinny, yellow-faced old monk.
It was Ku Jue!
Jiang Wang pressed his sword and looked into the distance. He did not see Zhuang Gaoxian's figure. Only then did he squat down to observe the old monk Ku Jue's condition.
He saw that his eyes were tightly closed, and he was curled up into a ball. His teeth were clenched, and his face was pale. Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. His breath was very weak.
It seemed that he had used the last of his strength to escape to Jiang Wang.
"You …" Jiang Wang let go of his sword and reached out to hold the monk's skinny shoulder. His voice trembled uncontrollably. "How are you?"
He had always been wary of Ku Jue. He had been vigilant since the first time this old monk came to Qingyang Town uninvited. It was not that he did not trust this world, but that many people had taught him the principle of "one must always be vigilant against others."
This old monk had repeatedly forced him to take in disciples, which actually made him very unhappy.
He did not want to be apprenticed, and he did not dare to trust him.
Since he started cultivating, the only master he had truly acknowledged was Dong A. And Dong A had trampled his trust and dependence into the dust.
After the battle of life and death in Xin 'an City, their relationship as master and disciple had ended.
Before and after, he had never thought of taking anyone as his master again.
He knew that he did not have any deep feelings for Ku Jue. The two of them had not really spent much time together. They had never truly understood each other. Every time they met, they would chase after each other. He had never thought that Ku Jue would really treat him as one of his own.
It was just empty talk, how could he take it seriously?
But he did not expect that when he was in real danger. It was Ku Jue who had dragged his injured body over from a great battle to block Zhuang Gaoxian for him.
He had fought a bloody battle for him above the long river.
Jiang Wang was not a heartless person. He could not help but feel touched and guilty.
"How are you?" he asked.
He tried his best to recall the healing spells he knew, but the Qi in Ku Jue's body was so chaotic that he could not even grasp the details of his injuries. He did not know where to start.
His mediocre healing spells were not even effective on himself, let alone a Daoist.
He was filled with frustration.
"Oh …" Ku Jue's eyelids lifted slightly. At this time, he weakly opened his eyes.
He looked at Jiang Wang. His voice was no longer rude and rude like before. Instead, it was weak and feeble.
"Jingshen. I thought … I would never see you again. "
Jiang Wang resisted the sourness at the tip of his nose and held Ku Jue's bony hand. "Master Ku Jue, you …"
His voice choked, and he could not continue for a while.
"Sigh …" Ku Jue looked at him sadly. "Before I die, I only have one unfulfilled wish."
"Master, please speak." Jiang Wang tried his best to suppress his emotions. "What other wish do you have?"
He felt the hand he was holding tightly squeeze him weakly.
Ku Jue said weakly, "Jingshen, you … have not formally entered my tutelage. I cannot … personally shave your head."
So much love!
Jiang Wang's heart was heavy. He pursed his lips. "Master, I will remember your great love. But I cannot lie to you … The knot in my heart has not been untied, and my hatred has not disappeared. There is no way the four elements are all void. I cannot escape into the Buddhist Gate. "
Ku Jue struggled and used a bit of strength in his hand. He appeared weak and stubborn, causing one's heart to ache. "In fact, Buddhism isn't that strict … Shave your head first, and then 'all is void' later. That's fine too …"
Jiang Wang was not a cold-hearted person. At this moment, no matter what Ku Jue asked of him, he would do his best to fulfill it. However, his cultivation had already carried out his will and choice along the way.
To this day, he still didn't have enough understanding of Buddhism's ideals, and moreover, he couldn't say whether or not he agreed.
The more sincere a person was, the more they couldn't deceive themselves.
"Master." Jiang Wang endured his sorrow and said, "I am indebted to your misplaced love. Jiang Wang can deceive myself, but how can I deceive you? Jiang Wang has concerns in his heart, and he has a Dao path beneath his feet. Walking the path of Buddhism won't go far. If I agree now and change my mind later, how can I face you? "
He used his index finger to gently swipe and cut off a strand of long hair. "Jiang Wang cuts off this strand of hair and swears on behalf of my head to make an appointment with you. Although I can't shave my head in this life, I already see you as my family. After you leave, Jiang Wang will definitely take good care of Xuankong Temple, so that you can have an endless supply of incense and enjoy your golden body for a long time … Ah! "
His sincere words came to an abrupt end.
He couldn't help but cry out in pain.
This was because a hard fist had already landed on his eye socket, causing him to fall to the ground cleanly.
Ku Jue jumped up like a carp.
"I'll cut off your stinking turtle's skull! You want to cut off your head for me? "
He cursed loudly as he punched and kicked Jiang Wang. "I worked so hard to fight for you, and you can't even bear to shave your head! Huh? "
"You came here alone to kill people? Huh? Assassinate the Vice Minister? Become enemies with a Perfected Person? Huh? "
"If the Inner House dares to provoke a Perfected Person, wouldn't the Outer House challenge a Perfected Person?"
"I'm about to die, and you're still calling me Master, Master, Master! Huh? "
"After I leave, you'll take care of Xuankong Temple? Huh? Does Xuankong Temple need you to take care of it? "
"Bah! Will I leave? Even if you leave, I won't be able to leave! "
Ku Jue cursed as he hit. He cursed as he hit. He scolded to his heart's content and gave Jiang Wang a violent beating.
Regarding Jiang Wang's refusal to acknowledge him as his master, his heart was filled with resentment.
In the end, he kicked Jiang Wang's butt, leaving a clear straw shoe print.
"Reflect on your actions for me!"
Then, he wiped off the fake blood at the corner of his mouth, patted the dust off his body, and cursed as he rose from the ground and disappeared into the horizon.
Jiang Wang, whose face was bruised and swollen, turned over and lay flat on the ground, looking at the bright sky.
He opened his mouth and laughed.
At first, it was silent, but then his voice became louder and louder.
"Hahahahaha …"
His mouth opened wider and wider, and his laughter became more and more carefree.
In the end, his head tilted, and he fell asleep.
From the night he entered Xin 'an City until just now, he hadn't relaxed for a moment.
He was too tired.
