Although the mountain chief said that Yun Danfeng was gentle, Zhao Xun still felt that his scalp was numb and his back was cold.

Only truly top-level experts would have similar thoughts, right?

For the mountain leader, yes, he is the first person in the world. But at the same time, he is also the so-called object of being chased.

Countless people are benchmarking against Shan Chang, hoping to surpass him.

Countless people hope that they can get ahead by stepping on the face of the mountain leader. How could the mountain leader not know about this?

The mountain leader's solution to this problem is also very simple. Don't you want to step on me and get the upper hand? I will deal with you dishonest guys and see if you still dare to make mistakes!

The most important thing is that after defeating these enemies, the mountain leader will take away a ray of their true energy and store it in a small jar to remind himself.

The advantage of doing this is that the mountain leader can always tell himself that it is extremely important to stay calm and to maintain the strongest state.

Looking at the true energy of his defeated generals in the past, the mountain leader could understand that once he became a strong man, he had to pursue becoming a strong man all his life.

Only by always being strong can you avoid being stepped on by others.

But why did the mountain chief suddenly say this to Zhao Xun?

"Xiao Qizhu, you must be feeling strange. Weishi is not usually a competitive person, so why do you still do this? Weishi tells you that it is one thing whether you argue or not. Others think you are

Whether to fight or not to fight is another matter. Even if you don't want to fight as a teacher, you still won't fight if you are forced to do so."

The mountain chief said it with absolute certainty, but Zhao Xun felt very terrible after hearing it.

"Uh, you mean you were forced to become number one in the world?"

"Of course, sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat. No one is born strong. Even the teacher. The teacher has experienced ups and downs for a long time. During that time, the state of the teacher is not the worst, but compared with now

The comparison is simply worlds apart. I wonder if your master, Taoist Master Qinglian, has ever told you that the realm of a cultivator’s cultivation is actually illusory. The main thing to look at is his strength.

How about it? If his Qi is very strong, then he will definitely become a peerless strong man. If his Qi has already gone down, then even if he is a peerless powerful man now, his decline will be a matter of time."

"Well, Taoist Master Qinglian told me."

Zhao Xun nodded.

"So, you have to learn to control your own anger. How to behave in front of outsiders and how to behave in front of your own people. These are completely different."

The mountain leader smiled and said: "You are also the leader of the Academy Alliance now. There must be countless pairs of eyes staring at you. Including your enemies, the Corruptors, they must also make you a serious problem. In this case, you

You must learn to protect yourself, you must learn to hide your strength. If you are seen through by others, it will be difficult to have a chance to turn around, and it will be difficult to have room to maneuver."

Zhao Xun completely understood what the mountain chief said.

"So you asked me to come and see this room this time because you hope that I can hide my condition better and not be taken advantage of?"

"Of course."

The mountain leader gently stroked his beard and said: "Weishi never thought of you becoming our successor, because you and weishi are not the same kind of people in nature. It is difficult for you to have the character of weishi, and at the same time you It’s hard to have a good character as a teacher. So what we have to do is to be ourselves. As for those people who put pressure on you in far-fetched ways, don’t worry about it. They want you to be the person they see, but you just need to do it. It’s up to you.”

Well, it turns out that the mountain chief came to him this time to talk about this!

For a moment, Zhao Xun had an epiphany.

"Thank you, Master Shan, for your teachings."

Zhao Xun has always been very grateful to the mountain leader.

Because in Zhao Xun's opinion, the mountain leader is a man of great wisdom.

Therefore, Zhao Xun has been deliberately paying attention to the words and deeds of the mountain leader and recording them all the time in order to imitate them.

But today the mountain chief told Zhao Xun clearly that he didn't have to learn to be someone else, he just needed to be himself.

At this moment, Zhao Xun was completely enlightened.

Yes, why does a person have to be someone else? Doesn’t it feel good to be himself?

Zhao Xun is not a hypocritical person, but Shan Chang’s words are indeed thought-provoking.

"Chief Shan, how long do you think this war will last?"

Zhao Xun hopes that the war will end soon, and he hopes that life can quickly return to peace.

But all this undoubtedly requires God's will.

It's not that Zhao Xun hoped that the war would end if it ended.

"It's hard to say, maybe it's just a moment, maybe it takes three to five years."

The mountain chief shook his head and said: "I can't see through God's will, because God's will seems to be changing all the time, and there seems to be a constant battle between heaven and man."

"Well"

Zhao Xun was extremely surprised for a moment.

If the mountain chief said this, he would probably understand.

Why did the mountain chief say that it is useless to spy on the secrets at this time?

Because the secrets are always changing, then trying to detect the secrets at this time is futile.

Maybe you spent a lot of money to get a glimpse of the secret at this moment, but the secret has changed at the next moment.

In this way, the secrets you have glimpsed will not count.

"Life is unpredictable, and the way of heaven is also unpredictable. So don't chase, don't gamble, just be yourself."

Shan Chang's character really fits what he said.

The mountain leader has never taken the initiative to pursue anything in his life. The mountain leader has always been passively accepting.

He passively accepts the strong men who challenge him, passively accepts his title as the best in the world, passively accepts the worship of scholars all over the world, even the act of building a living shrine, and passively accepts the title of the Confucian sage of the world.

If you look at these individually, you will find that these are not things that the mountain leader actively pursues.

The mountain leader is just trying his best to be a good person, and the mountain leader is just doing what he should do.

As for these things, they are all accessories, obtained through the hard work of the mountain leader.

I don’t care about the mountain leader, but it’s more like God’s praise for the mountain leader’s hard work.

So should Zhao Xun also take such a path?

Watch the flowers blooming and falling in front of the courtyard, and watch the clouds roll and relax in the sky.

Not pleased, not to have compassion.

This free and easy life looks really cool.

But does Zhao Xun want to do this?

Zhao Xun didn't know, he didn't know.

"Shan Chief, if my disciple also falls into this passive state, will his cultivation level improve as a result?"

"It's hard to say. It depends on your fate. Sometimes it happens in your fate."

The mountain leader still didn't say anything, but said calmly: "Be yourself, at least you will be happy this way."

The sandstorm is finally over!

In the cave, Jia Xingwen looked at the weather outside the cave and was so excited that he almost shouted.

It's not easy, it's really not easy.

I didn't expect this sandstorm to finally end.

How long did this sandstorm last?

Nobody knows.

One day, two days?

Anyway, thank God it's finally over.

As long as it's over, that's a good thing.

After all, for them, this can be considered the happiest thing.

"God still has mercy on us, knowing that he has given us a way out at this time."

Jia Xingwen sighed with emotion.

You must know that if this sandstorm continues endlessly, God knows what will happen next.

"I hope I can arrive at the Anxi Protectorate soon."

This was said by Liu Lin, the chief guard of the Anxi Army.

He always felt that something big was going to happen at the Protector's Mansion, so he couldn't wait to arrive at the Protector's Mansion as soon as possible. Only by letting him see with his own eyes that everything was safe and sound after entering the city could Liu Lin feel completely at ease.

Before this, everything Liu Lin felt was false.

"Well, we also hope to arrive soon."

Everyone, and all the soldiers of the Anxi Army, hope to shorten the marching time as much as possible.

Because for them, arriving earlier means they can enjoy all the conveniences brought by the city.

And if they had been on the march, they would have been forced to eat and sleep in the open.
