Gu Qingfeng did not expect that his words would cause such a big misunderstanding among the major sects.
Hearing from Su'Er that all the sect leaders had gone back to discuss this matter and were preparing to bring a large group of people over tomorrow, Gu Qingfeng did not take it seriously.
Let it be a misunderstanding.
He would talk about it tomorrow.
Subsequently, Gu Qingfeng, Zhen Ting, and Zhen Yang walked to the back of the mountain while chatting. They mostly talked about their master, Zhen Jue.
"Little Guy Gu, let bygones be bygones. Don't blame yourself too much for what happened back then. How should I put it? My Eldest Senior Brother has been pursuing Buddhism all his life and is almost obsessed with it. He pays too much attention to karma, good and evil, benevolence, and always worries about the world. To put it nicely, he is selfless and fearless. To put it bluntly, he is just worrying about trivial things."
Zhen Yang Wine Immortal knew that Gu Qingfeng had been brooding about what happened back then, so he tried his best to persuade him along the way.
"In ancient times, it was not easy for everyone to live. There was no such thing as good and evil, let alone good and evil. Who can tell the difference? Even the Buddha Lord can't tell what is really good and what is really evil. My Eldest Senior Brother is just looking for trouble. "
Looking at the silent Gu Qingfeng, Zhen Yang Wine Immortal continued, "To tell you the truth, kid, there is something you probably don't know until now."
"What is it?"
"Back then, when you were besieged by the major sects, my Eldest Senior Brother saved you. First, perhaps it was really because he was merciful. Second, he also saw that you were not bad in nature and were a promising talent. Third, and most importantly, my Eldest Senior Brother had already deduced that you were not destined to die."
"So, regardless of the opposition of the world, he saved you. The reason why he accepted you as his disciple was because he really wanted to teach you. However, my Eldest Senior Brother was not without selfishness. In addition to teaching you, he also wanted to trap you in the Shang Qing Sect. In this way, even if you could not be taught, at least you would not go out and harm the world."
Gu Qingfeng just smiled and did not say anything.
At this time.
Zhen Ting Master, who had been silent all this time, said, "Tianlang, don't listen to my Junior Brother's nonsense."
"How am I talking nonsense?"
Zhen Ting Master ignored Zhen Yang Wine Immortal and said to Gu Qingfeng, "Your Master's thinking has long been profound and is not something we can understand. He has always been unpredictable, and what he does is not as simple as it is on the surface. We think of the present, but Eldest Senior Brother, thinking of the future.........................
Gu Qingfeng nodded in agreement.
To be honest, Gu Qing Feng thought it was just as True Yang Wine Fairy had said. His teacher's true mind wanted to teach him, but the more he experienced over the years, the more Gu Qing Feng realized that his teacher's true mind did not want to teach him. He did not even talk about good and evil.
During the nine years in the Shang Qing Sect, his Master Zhen Jue had only explained the true meaning of two words to him, which was Human Dao.
It was the true meaning of Human Dao that had benefited Gu Qingfeng endlessly. Whether it was awakening from madness, coming and going freely between immortals and demons, or later obtaining the Nine You Emperor Seal and becoming Asura, it was all thanks to the true meaning of Human Dao that he could find himself again.
Not only that.
Gu Qingfeng knew that the formation of the Taiji Golden Core in the Northwest and the birth of the Thousand Elephant Stupa had also benefited from the influence of the true meaning of Human Dao.
Gu Qingfeng still did not understand why his Master Zhen Jue had to explain the true meaning of Human Dao to him.
Perhaps it was just as Zhen Ting Master said, they thought of the present, but his Master Zhen Jue thought of the future, which was the so-called cause and effect.
If it was cause and effect.
What kind of cause and effect was it?
This was also the real purpose of Gu Qingfeng's visit this time.
"Tianlang, the doubts in your heart cannot be answered by I or Zhen Yang. In the world, only your Master can answer them."
"My Master, he … really entered the Shang Qing Pagoda?"
Zhen Ting Master Zhen Ting nodded solemnly.
"Did he enter voluntarily, or is it related to Ye Tianlan?"
Zhen Ting Master Zhen Ting Master shook his head and sighed. It was unknown whether it was because he did not know or because there was something he could not say.
Gu Qingfeng didn't ask any further questions.
The three of them chatted as they walked until late at night. This time, they left.
It was night.
The stars were bright and the moon was bright.
Gu Qingfeng strolled alone in the back of the mountain.
Compared to the foot of the Shang Qing Sect's mountain, the back of the mountain was much more deserted. Even during normal times, no one would come here.
Because the back of the mountain was either a graveyard, a place for retirement, or a place for punishment … it was rather unlucky.
The reason Gu Qingfeng was strolling in the back of the mountain was that when he was cultivating in the Shang Qing Sect, he lived in the back of the mountain for retirement.
The so-called place for retirement, as the name implied, was a place for retirement.
If a disciple of the Shang Qing Sect had a problem in cultivation or lost his cultivation due to a fight, whether it was the collapse of his Primordial Spirit or the failure of the tribulation, as long as he lost his cultivation, he would generally be placed here for retirement.
Gu Qingfeng was a criminal back then, so he was also placed in a place for retirement.
Generally speaking, no matter which sect, almost all of them had a place for retirement. However, those places for retirement, without exception, were relatively poor. After all, if one lost his cultivation, he would become a cripple to the sect. It was good enough that the sect could provide for him, so there was no need to expect a Spirit Gathering Formation.
However.
The Shang Qing Sect was different. The place for retirement in the back of the mountain of the Shang Qing Sect was relatively good. Almost every courtyard and every house was covered by a Spirit Gathering Formation. Not only was there abundant Spirit Qi, but the climate was also suitable. Even if one could not cultivate, they could ensure one's health and did not have to worry about food and clothing.
Those who retired here would drink tea and play chess every day. They were aloof from worldly affairs and were very carefree.
Gu Qingfeng found the courtyard he had lived in all those years ago. He looked up and saw that the courtyard seemed to have been sealed. Gu Qingfeng walked over and broke the seal with a wave of his hand. He directly walked in. The moment he opened the door, the memories of the past gushed out like a flood in the depths of his mind.
This was an ordinary courtyard with three houses. In the courtyard, there was a red leaf tree that he had personally planted back then.
The red leaf tree had already grown into a fiery red tree more than ten meters tall with lush branches and leaves. He did not know if it was a coincidence or something else, but the red leaf tree was full of red fruits. It was none other than the red leaf demon fruit that Gu Qingfeng loved to eat when he was young and wandering around the Chiyan Ridge of the Great Northwest.
He was an orphan and was born without parents. Since he was young, he had wandered around the Chiyan Ridge and ate the red leaf demon fruit to satisfy his hunger. Even after he left the Great Northwest, he would still carry the seeds of the red leaf demon fruit with him.
Back then, when he planted this red leaf tree here, Gu Qingfeng wanted to constantly remind himself that when he was young, he could survive in the Chiyan Ridge that was full of tigers and wolves. Now, he could also survive in the Shang Qing Sect that was comparable to a dragon's pool and a tiger's den.
