Chapter 1358: Salvation

The bottom of the hillside.
Zhen Yuanting closed his eyes slightly, calm and quiet, with nothing else around.
"Unexpectedly, the little friend's skill is also diligent, and you can see it here."
"Hello senior."
Zhou Shu smiled and bowed, showing a trace of doubt, "Here..."
But separated by several mountain walls, it is like another world.
There is no trace of vitality here, to be precise, there is nothing, nothing that can be sensed, even the rocky mountain walls in the eyes, etc., have become nothingness in perception and no longer exist.
Being in it, as if I was the only person in the world, suddenly there was a feeling of unusual clarity of mind.
Zhen Yuanting opened his eyes and smiled and said, "I feel it? This is one of the three forbidden places in Shushan. The monks are in it, and it is easier to get rid of distracting thoughts. If you want to retreat in the future, you might as well try it, Shushan Definitely welcome."
"If I have a chance, I will try."
Zhou Shu nodded lightly. He had experienced this kind of experience before, similar to Qiye Formation, but Qiye actively deprived of perception, and here is passive, there is nothing to perceive, and perception is naturally gone. usefulness.
Retreat here is indeed very beneficial to the cultivator, but it is not as good as Qiye Jue, and the possibility of achievement is much smaller.
"You have a lot of doubts?"
After looking at Zhou Shu, Zhen Yuanting breathed a sigh of relief, "Shu Shan's current practice is indeed very puzzling."
Zhou Shu thought for a while and shook his head, "I was a little confused, but after seeing Senior Zhen, I remembered a few things. The previous doubts disappeared, but there were new doubts."
Zhen Yuanting's expression condensed slightly, "Huh?"
Zhou Shu watched him and slowly said, "Senior has deliberately retreat in this forbidden place, maybe he intends to forcefully overcome the robbery?"
Zhen Yuanting was taken aback, shook his head unconsciously, and sighed, "What else do you know?"
"If the predecessors want to cross the calamity, it is the ninth calamity, but as far as I know, in the past ten thousand years, only one person in the world of Xuanhuang has survived the ninth calamity, becoming a cultivator of the ninefold calamity, and has failed countless times. Experience tells every cultivator that today’s Nine Heavens Tribulation is too difficult and almost impossible to survive. Taking the initiative to cross the catastrophe is equivalent to sending death. Therefore, even if the realm of the great sect cultivator is complete, they will not cross the catastrophe, but stay in The eighth stage is to maintain the sect, wait for the opportunity, and will never take the initiative to overcome the catastrophe before the end of life."
Zhou Shu glanced at Zhen Yuanting, and slowly said, "Senior's life span is at least a thousand years old."
Zhen Yuanting was silent.
"The younger generations were thinking before, Shu Shan did not take the initiative, did not cut off the barbarian supplies, did not ask for help, or even blocked them, letting the barbarian army continue to come and devote all of it to besie Shushan, should it be a plan to catch all of them? But then? I don’t understand, Shushan has any way to do this without losing too much. If you really want to fight the barbarians, I’m afraid that Shushan will lose more than half of the elite? And the battlefield is in Shushan, then What a gain is not worth the loss. 【】"
Zhou Shu continued, "But after seeing the predecessors, things became clearer, the power of the Nine Heavens Tribulation, heaven and earth cannot be used, if you can gather the barbarians together, trap them with formations, and then attract the Nine Heavens Tribulation. Under the majesty of the sky, the barbarians are naturally in danger. When the time comes, the barbarian elites will be lost, and it will be difficult to recover in at least thousands of years. Most of the tribes will perish, and a few of the existing tribes will shrink in the depths of the hundred thousand mountains and dare not come out. In Shu Mountain, only one elder and a few peaks were lost, but most of the resources in the 100,000 mountains were gained. Such an exchange is naturally very cost-effective."
Looking at Zhen Yuanting, Zhou Shupo said solemnly, "If the junior is the steward of Shushan, I will probably make the same choice."
"It's a little friend."
Zhen Yuanting was already out of surprise, and he felt complacent in his heart.
He nodded slightly and said approvingly, "It's so clear that the old-fashioned plan is clear, yes, that's it."
"Senior, this junior hasn't finished speaking yet," Zhou Shu shook his head and continued, "For Shu Shan, this is naturally a good practice, but for seniors, it is by no means a good choice. Seniors have already overcome the catastrophe. There is still a thousand years of life, and there is still a chance to wait for the world to change, and to seek a higher realm. Seniors should know that a major change is coming. At this critical time, I will definitely not go as a junior. made."
He looked at Zhen Yuanting, very puzzled.
"Ha ha."
Zhen Yuanting smiled and nodded, "The little friend is right, the great change of heaven and earth is coming, and many things will happen at that time, and the world of Xuanhuang will encounter great catastrophe, but for the cultivator, it is a catastrophe and even an opportunity. In the great changes, we may all die, but it is also possible to break through the shackles and reach a higher level, and it may not be impossible even to rise to the immortal."
Zhou Shu seemed to think, "Since the predecessors understand, why not wait for the big changes to come and try to promote the immortal, but choose to die with the barbarians at this moment?"
Zhen Yuanting smiled lightly~EbookFREE.me~ said slowly, "Haha, the old way is still old, I don't have that thought anymore."
Zhou Shu showed a lot of doubts, "Should a cultivator not be obsessed with the Tao? How come the opportunity comes, but he has no thoughts? I gave up on myself. The words of the predecessor are really not like a cultivator. It doesn't conform to Shushan's profound principles."
"Lao Dao has long stopped thinking of himself as a cultivator."
Zhen Yuanting is still indifferent and calmly said, "Although the big changes are coming, what the old way is thinking about now is to pave a good way for the latecomers. Moreover, the old way owes too much to Shushan, and now there is a chance of return. You should do it, you don’t have to think about other things."
Zhou Shu seemed to realize something, and raised his eyebrows, "Senior is to make up for past mistakes?"
"Not bad."
Zhen Yuanting nodded and said calmly, "It is salvation. If it were not the fault of the old way, Shushan has been refined into the Three Realm Pill, and the old way has long been able to enter the fairy world, changing the fate of the entire Xuanhuang world, making Shushan the first in the Xuanhuang world. The door, but these are all in vain, countless resources were wasted, Shushan was ridiculed by others, and began to decline... This is the fault of the old way."
What he said was very calm, just because the grief and anger in the words were all merged into the calm, which was a deeper grief and a more inexplicable anger.
There is a kind of silent place to listen to the shock of thunder.
He looked at Zhou Shu, smiled and shook his head, "It was Lao Dao who had given up the opportunity to rise to an immortal. Can you expect to have another chance?"
"Junior understands."
Zhou Shu nodded and said no more.
Sacrificing himself to pave the way for the younger generation and redeem the past, Zhen Yuanting's choice is understandable and worthy of his own heart.
