Hsu Fengnian rarely confided in others, especially when it came to matters of national security. He would not take the initiative to mention even half a sentence to others. However, he had always been close to Mount Wudang, and Chen Yao was a senior of virtue and prestige on the mountain. He was the shidi of the old Hierarch Wang Zhonglou and also Hong Xixiang's shidi, so Hsu Fengnian did not have the slightest bit of wariness. Moreover, a person with a treasure in his heart would always need to say a few words. The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. Walking slowly on the divine path back to the mountain with Chen Yao, Hsu Fengnian continued, "Unfortunately, after Master passed away, I could not keep the plans he had set. When I defeated Wang Xianzhi, I had two choices. One was to go to Western Shu and kill Chen Zhibao, who had ruined Beiliang's grand plan. Even if I had to bear the name of a rebel, I had to take Western Shu, which had always been easy to defend and difficult to attack. The other was to go to Mount Longhu and kill my enemy, Zhao Huangchao. Out of selfishness, I still chose the latter. Although at that time I had a vague feeling that killing Zhao Huangchao was easier than killing Chen Zhibao, looking back now, in the end, it was still out of selfishness. Every time I think about it, I feel uneasy. "
Hsu Fengnian smiled, seeming a little embarrassed. He said softly, "Of course, the number of times I think about it is actually not many. Including now, it's only been two times."
Chen Yao smiled knowingly. "My master once told us that cultivation is neither easy nor difficult. In fact, it's just 'being one's true self, speaking from the bottom of your heart, and doing things with love.' In my opinion, cultivation is for the sake of attaining the Dao. There's nothing wrong with that. Everyone in the world is cultivating and making choices. That's why there's the saying 'the unjust find little help, the righteous find much help.' Since the Prince is being frank and honest, this humble Daoist might as well speak his mind. If there is any disrespect … Hmm, this humble Daoist believes that the Prince will not vent his anger on Wudang Mountain. The Prince's actions over the years are worthy of trust. This was common sense, and Beiliang was the same. His Highness oversaw the northwest of the dynasty, and together with the Great General Gu Jiantang on the eastern front, he faced the Beimang Iron Cavalry. Regardless of whether he was a prince with a different surname, or if he was called the Second Emperor, this was the responsibility that the eldest son of the Xu family should bear. He could not shirk his responsibility because of a few sarcastic remarks. Generations of Wudang people were willing to get close to the Great General Xu Xiao. Other than the Great General treating the Taoist priests on the mountain well, it was more because my fellow disciples respected the Great General's responsibility. Your Highness is the new head of the Xu family and the new Prince Liang of the dynasty. Wudang Mountain, where this humble Taoist is from, is generally satisfied. However, there is one thing that this humble Taoist cannot bear to look at. Today, this humble Taoist must let Your Highness know. "
Hsu Fengnian smiled and said, "Daoist priest, please say it. Good words enter the ear, bad words don't take to heart. "
Chen Yao looked at the amiable young King and said seriously, "Your Highness, your Highness is too gloomy!"
Hsu Fengnian did not expect such a statement. For a moment, he was speechless and did not know whether to laugh or cry.
The middle-aged Taoist priest said angrily, "Your Highness, after all, is only a young man in his early twenties. You are also a figure who has climbed to the top of Jianghu. You should be at your most high-spirited, how can you be so gloomy? Compared to this humble Taoist priest who has lived for more than eighty years, his mentality is even more gloomy. Hey, not to mention this humble Taoist priest, when this humble Taoist priest was at your age, he was not as arrogant as you. At that time, the two brothers, Zhao Xiyi and Zhao Xituan of Longhu Mountain, went up the mountain to 'ask for the Dao' and 'ask for the sword'. Senior Brother Wang beat and scolded them until they had no temper. He also went down Wudang Mountain without his master's permission and went to Longhu Mountain alone. First, he vented the anger in his heart. After returning to the mountain, he was grounded by his master to reflect on his mistakes. That master of ours spoke harshly and got angry in front of Eldest Senior Brother. After he locked Eldest Senior Brother up, he immediately smiled at us. That mouth of his couldn't close for a few days. He smiled at everyone he saw. However, after master left, Senior Brother Wang's mind became heavy. It was not until he led Junior Brother Wang up the mountain that he felt better. "
Hsu Fengnian's hands were in his sleeves. He was silent, but there was some warmth in his heart.
Chen Yao suddenly smiled and said, "This humble Taoist priest knows a bit about prophecies. I have two pieces of good news to tell you. Consider it as my thanks to Your Highness for returning the Great Yellow Court."
Hsu Fengnian said half-jokingly, "If it's really good news, I promise that Xiao Zhu Peak's incense will not lose to Wudang's main peak in three years. Even if Beimang really invades Beiliang's territory, I will protect Xiao Zhu Peak."
Chen Yao glared and said, "Let's not talk about the good news first. Your Highness, there is one thing you must remember. The more sincere a person is, the more careful they must be with their words! Isn't it a prophecy? When the ancient sages created words, the heavens wept. There is a great deal of care in this. Now that the Zhaoshi Dynasty has chosen the Yu language as their official language, it is even more profound. This is all related to extremely complicated destiny! "
Hsu Fengnian nodded and did not argue.
Chen Yao's expression softened. He smiled and said, "The first piece of good news is that there is a white flood dragon aura of benevolence coming north from the Southern Sea. The second piece of good news is that there is a black flood dragon aura coming west from the Southern Sea and entering Beiliang from the east. "
Hsu Fengnian thought for a while and said doubtfully, "The former should be a Qi cultivator from the Southern Sea Guanyin Sect. The latter? "
Chen Yao's expression was calm and did not reveal the heavenly secrets.
Hsu Fengnian did not dare to believe it. He said to himself, "Is it really coming?"
Chen Yao smiled and said, "With that Song Dongming of the Confucians, Beiliang can be said to be gradually 'enlightened'. Your Highness, do you still think that Beiliang will lose without a doubt? The fate of the world is fixed. First, the Liyang imperial court committed suicide. Then, many people from Great Peace City quietly left. For the Zhaoshi, this is not a good sign. But for Beiliang, for Your Highness, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity. You must not miss it! "
Yu Dilong looked at his master.
An imposing aura.
A python behind him raised its head.
An imposing aura.
