"The dead are of noble status, they are people. The dead are lowly, that is the number of words. The dead are close to you, they are people. The dead are strangers, that is the number of words. " The grey-robed old man's clear eyes flickered, saying in a low voice: "I also want to say that all things have a spirit, all living beings are equal. However, there is a high and low spirit, life has a class. This is an irrefutable fact. This time, the number of dead and injured is the highest in all the years. The Changbai seven sons have all disappeared. Why don't you complain for them? Why don't you run around for them? "
Without waiting for Yang Xiaohu to speak, the grey-robed old man had already continued: "Because in your heart, they are not as important as Li Muyang. They are also just a number of words. They are a part that can be sacrificed every time — — "
"— —" Yang Xiaohu stared blankly at the old man in front of him.
His skin was ruddy, and there were rarely wrinkles on his face. His pupils were clear and clean, but when he slightly squinted, there was thunder rumbling. Only the long white hair revealed his age.
The old man was very, very old. Yang Xiaohu looked like this when he first entered Starry Sky, and he still looked like this after Yang Xiaohu became a teacher of Starry Sky. After so many years, his appearance had not changed in the slightest.
No one knew the old man's age, and most likely he himself had forgotten it.
"In your eyes, the Changbai seven sons and others are just a number of words. In my eyes, who can't be a number of words? We are looking for the Dao all day long, but if we can't pierce through the falsehood, and point straight to the heart. Where is the Dao? Where is the realm? You broke through the realm by reading, which is rare in Starry Sky. But you know, the more books you read, the more confusion there is. People who write books all have selfish motives, and scholars also have their own thoughts. When the two are combined, true and false, false and real. How do you break it down and distinguish? "
"Dean — —"
"Reading is to understand." The old man said.
Yang Xiaohu nodded. "Dean is right."
"Reading too much truth in books makes one lose the ability to think for oneself. What other people say is the truth, it is better not to read than to believe in books. "
Yang Xiaohu was deeply touched, knowing that the Dean was telling him the truth of life.
Recently, when he was reading and cultivating, he felt that his mind was obstructed. It must be because he was thinking too much, which was not conducive to getting rid of the shackles and rising with the wind.
The Dean was a celestial being, he must have seen through his condition with a single glance. Therefore, he wanted to use this opportunity to give himself some pointers so that he could make great strides forward on the path of cultivation and shatter the starry sky.
Yang Xiaohu was filled with gratitude.
The Dean had always been very good to him, taking care of him in every possible way when he was still a student. On the path of cultivation, he had been given several pointers, which allowed him to break through the realm with irresistible force.
After that, he left him in space and entrusted him with a heavy responsibility … Under the circumstances where the world did not believe that dragons existed in the divine continent, he still respected his decision and placed him in the Dragon Slayer Department. Furthermore, when the number of students was almost non-existent, he still refused to withdraw from the department and gave him all sorts of privileges and privileges.
How many teachers would be able to do all these?
Yang Xiaohu opened his mouth, wanting to say some words of gratitude.
"So, we're actually the same kind of people. You don't have the right to criticize me? "the grey-robed old man said coldly.
"…"
Yang Xiaohu's face was flushed red, it was clear that he had thought too much. "Dean — —"
"Don't tell me what I said makes sense?"
After the old man said this, his eyes once again shifted to the bamboo pole in his hand. It was as though there would be a big fish rushing down from Nujiang at any time, and then biting his fishing pole.
Yang Xiaohu came to save Li Muyang, the illusion had collapsed, it stands to reason that Li Muyang must be dead.
But Yang Xiaohu was unwilling, and Kong Li also said that Li Muyang did not have the appearance of an early death. Although Yang Xiaohu felt that Kong Li was a swindler, deep down he was still willing to believe him this time.
The Dean was unwilling to help, and Yang Xiaohu had no way to break through. Li Muyang could only resign himself to fate.
Their Dragon Slayer Department only had Qiandu, Lu Qiji, Cai Pa, Lin Canghai, Chu Xun, Tie Muxin and Li Muyang.
It was unknown whether Li Muyang was alive or dead, and Lu Qiji was nowhere to be found. Their Dragon Slayer Department had suddenly lost two outstanding students — — two out of seven. It was simply an unacceptable loss.
Seeing Yang Xiaohu's gloomy face, the corners of the Dean's mouth curved into a smile. "Everything in the world has cause and effect. You're familiar with the classics, why don't you know this? "
"What is trouble? What is the result? "
"The secrets of heaven must not be revealed."
"— —" Yang Xiaohu increasingly did not like to talk to older people. His words were always vague and not straightforward at all.
Yang Xiaohu thought to himself that he must not become such a person when he gets old.
Since there was no result from the Dean's side, Yang Xiaohu had to get up and leave.
The grey-robed old man looked at the red river in front of him, saying aloud: "The illusion has collapsed, the heart of the weak water is about to be born. It has been hidden for thousands of years, but now it has shown its tracks. Is there really going to be a change? "
In the eyes of a normal person, the grey-robed old man's fishing method would not be able to catch a fish in ten thousand years.
However, the fine leaves on the bamboo pole were lightly bouncing, like the wind blowing the leaves.
The old man opened his eyes, staring at the beautiful scenery with a smile on his face.
Boom — —
In the middle of Nujiang, a giant black water monster suddenly sprang up.
The water monster was hundreds of feet long, with a dragon head and a dragon body. It looked like a giant dragon soaring into the sky.
The water monster's body was in an illusory state, its body like a bolt of lightning darting over to where the old man was, opening its huge mouth, trying to swallow him into the black fake body.
Hu hu hu — —
The water monster was ferocious, at the same time as it flew, there was red river water flowing down its body, adding a bit of a majestic appearance.
The grey-robed old man was not startled nor flustered, holding the bamboo pole and sitting still.
By the time the black dragon was in front of him, the stench of decay was blowing over, and the boundless huge mouth was about to swallow the old man.
The grey-robed old man finally moved.
He swung the thin bamboo pole in his hand high up and whipped the dragon's head that was raised high up in the air.
PA!
The black monster's head suffered a blow, half of the dragon's body falling down.
Ao — —
The monster was in pain, opening its mouth wide and roaring.
But, it was after all just a wisp of a wronged spirit, even if it tried its best, it still could not make any sound.
The whip not only failed to scare it away, but instead aroused the monster's ferocious nature.
Its body twisted and turned in mid-air, and then with an even more ferocious force, charged toward the old man.
"It's getting more and more restless recently." The old man shouted, raising the bamboo pole in his hand again.
Swoosh — —
The whip struck down, striking the black monster's spine.
The black monster that was charging over with the power to move mountains and overturn the seas was unexpectedly broken into two. It howled, its head and tail plummeted to the bottom of Nujiang at a speed that was hard to discern with the naked eye.
Splash — —
The river water splashed, and peace was restored in an instant.
The old man cast a glance at the surging red Nujiang, sighed softly, rested the bamboo pole on his shoulder, and walked into the distance like an old fisherman.

Every time Starry Sky Academy entered the territory, the results would affect the mood of the major forces of the divine continent.
One reason was that Starry Sky Academy was an existence that attracted the attention of the world, and the outstanding talents that came out of the school were people that the Royal family or rich and powerful families fought over. Secondly, the Royal family or famous sects would also send outstanding talents into Starry Sky, entering the territory at the same time as other beings. Whether they returned safely after entering the territory, and whether they gained something, was also something that was worth paying attention to.
The number of students killed and injured this time could be said to be the highest in thousands of years, which attracted the attention of countless people.
West Wind. Tiandu.
The Emperor of West Wind Chu Xianda usually hated Lu Xingkong coming to see the Emperor, because the old guy always went against him. Every word he said was for his own good, but if you carefully thought about it, you would find that he was protecting his own group of arrogant soldiers.
The Royal family of West Wind had always been afraid of the strength of the Lu Family, and had repeatedly acted in order to recover the military power and weaken the influence of the Lu Family in the military.
To this end, the Royal family of West Wind had used a lot of means and put in a lot of effort.
First, he transferred Lu Xingkong out of the military, appointed him to the position of Defence Minister, and placed three great generals under him to control the troops of the world.
Then he transferred the senior generals loyal to the Lu Family to the peaceful land or the central command of the Imperial Capital, and provided them with idle positions.
The last step was to wait until the Lu Family was completely powerless, and then he would make a ruthless move — —
Unfortunately, the ideal was very rich, but the reality was very harsh.
Lu Xingkong's influence in the military was too great, even if he never intervened in the affairs of the military, but everyone in the military still felt a shadow cast over them. Many important matters, if not properly communicated with Lu Xingkong, would be difficult to implement in many troops.
For example, the 'Art of War', or the 'Double Assault'.
And the military was even more so. They changed batch after batch of generals, and found that the middle and high-level generals were all loyal to Lu Xingkong. Finally, the sons of the rich and powerful families of the Kingdom were sent over, but those people simply could not command their subordinates.
Fortunately, Lu Xingkong's own branch was sparse, and there were not too many outstanding talents emerging. Otherwise, it would simply be a big problem for the Royal family.
Of course, it was the same now.
What the Emperor valued the most was military power, but the military power was in the hands of others. As the Royal family of West Wind, how could Chu Xianda not be angry and hateful?
Chu Xianda was admiring the winter chrysanthemum in the garden with his many concubines, when Chamberlain Li Fu came to report that Lu Xingkong had come to see him.
Chu Xianda's first reaction was to refuse. Every time this old man came, it was not a good thing.
But when the words were on the tip of his tongue, he changed his mind and said to Li Fu: "Bring Defence Minister to Primal Chaos Palace to wait."
"Yes. Your Majesty. "Li Fu bowed deeply. Xiaoxin abruptly retreated.
Chu Xianda arrived at Primal Chaos Palace, and before Lu Xingkong paid his respects, he took the initiative to ask: "Defence Minister, have you heard of the disaster of Starry Sky?"
