Accompanied by a sound, "Senior, please accept me as a disciple."

The person in front of him knelt on his knees, Mo Cangli's eyes sparkled, but he asked calmly, "Is this your answer?"

"Yes." Qiao Tathagata nodded and responded softly.

"Why do you want to worship me as a teacher?"

Mo Cangli stared at Qiao Tathagata, with a hint of murderousness in his eyes, as if Qiao Tathagata would strike if she gave a wrong answer.

"Because..." Qiao Rulai looked at Mo Cangli firmly, "This is the third test senior gave me."

Between eyes intertwined, Mo Cangli already understood Qiao Rulai's thoughts, he turned around and looked down at the bronze mirror in his hand, sighed softly, "Very well, I did not misread you, you have the wisdom of a wise man." Talent, the talent of the general."

The blurred images of Mo Cangli and Qiao Tathagata are reflected in the bronze mirror, and Yanlv and Xuebai complement each other, reflecting the unknown future fate of the two.

Mo Cangli was silent for a long time, until Qiao Tathagata's body was shaking a little, he slowly turned around and walked up to Qiao Tathagata to help him up.

Qiao Tathagata stared at the elegant scholar in front of him, nodded and said: "Master."

Mo Cangli walked slowly under the glazed tree and wiped the bronze mirror in his hand, "You have passed the third test, but don't think that if you take me as your teacher, I will help you. I will only watch everything. Even if you do something wrong, I won't interfere, you have to bear the consequences yourself."

"Ah... this..." Mo Cangli's words were like a basin of cold water pouring on Qiao Tathagata's heart, making him close his eyes and concentrate his attention, but what made him even more puzzled was that Master Su was inconvenient to enter the world due to his status. He doesn't want to join the world, but why is Master Mo?

While Qiao Rulai was puzzled, she once again felt the heavy pressure on her shoulders.

"Feel the pressure?" Mo Cangli turned and glanced at Qiao Rulai, "What you need is this pressure. This pressure was borne by your father back then, and now it's time for you to bear it."

"Yes, I understand." Qiao Rulai bowed to be taught, he knew that many things can only be handled by him now, father, he...

In the past, he also complained about his father, but after reaching this point, now that he is in his father's position, he truly understands his father's difficulties...

"Right now, you're in a mess, aren't you?"

Mo Cangli took a few steps towards Qiao Tathagata, and every time he took a step closer, Qiao Tathagata's heart became heavier.

Qiao Rulai suppressed the feeling of depression in her heart, and made her tone as calm as possible, "Nothing."

"Oh, why?" Mo Cangli looked at Qiao Rulai with a little bit of puzzlement, as if something had escaped his control.

Qiao Tathagata pondered for a moment, then slowly said his thoughts, "Although there are many things, there are priorities. At present, Xiaokong's disease is not life-threatening for the time being, Jian Wuji is missing, Yinyan and Kazama Shi also In the search for his whereabouts and the many attacks on the spiritual world, two seniors, Emperor Liang and Cyclops, are already in charge. I believe in their abilities."

Mo Cangli turned his back, doubts flashed in his eyes, "Then how many things do you have at present?"

It seems that someone enlightened Qiao Tathagata, who is it?Souji Miyamoto, he can't protect himself...

Qiao Tathagata was startled, recalling what happened when she first met Master, Master didn't like to talk nonsense, "There are only two things, Emperor Wen and Miao Jiang."

Seeing that Mo Cangli remained silent, he knew he was telling himself to continue, "Miao Jiang's threat has always existed. Recently, the female tyrant has been looking for the Jiulong Tianshu everywhere. Although I don't know her intentions, it can be seen that Miao Jiang has taken action in private, so we must guard against it." As for Emperor Wen, the purpose of Emperor Wen is unknown, and we still need to find it."

"Hmm..." Mo Cangli nodded imperceptibly, "The first step in the art of war is self-balance, knowing the enemy, knowing yourself, how much ability you have, how much help you have, how many things you can handle, you have Look at yourself, which of these two things comes first?"

"Miao Jiang's purpose is the Jiulong Tianshu. The purpose is clear. You only need to continue to pay attention to the Jiulong Tianshu to understand Miao Jiang's intentions. However, Emperor Wen and the disciples still can't figure out his purpose. Although the disciples have important points, they don't know. How to do it."

Speaking of God Gu Wenhuang, Qiao Rulai felt that he had never really understood him, even though he also did not understand Suzhen Zhenshi, but the difference was that every time he met or talked with God Gu Wenhuang, he would always feel A sense of disobedience that I don't know how to put into words.

"I ask you, why do you want to worship me as a teacher?" Mo Cangli knew what it was difficult for Qiao Tathagata to understand. direction thinking.

"This... because Master can never help me for no reason, three questions, three pills, Master showed wisdom, Qiao Tathagata thinks there must be a reason, so..." Qiao Tathagata didn't know Mo Cangli asked this The cause of the problem, but he has never concealed it from his master.

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he understood the intention behind Mo Cangli's question, "Yes, the senior doctor of the underworld and the master kept reminding me that everything has its own reasons, so I guessed the master's intentions, guessed Out of the master's purpose."

"do you understand?"

Mo Cangli closed his eyes, thinking in his heart who would be the master who Qiao Rulai kept reminding him, himself?How is it possible...

Qiao Tathagata did not answer, but continued: "Emperor Wen has always wanted Chi Yu and I to find out his purpose, and we have been unable to figure it out. If we can't find the purpose, then we should deduce from the reason. There are causes and effects in the world. Actions come only when there is a motive, Emperor Wen deliberately misled the direction and let our family fall into a dead end in search of purpose."

"Why would he do that?"

Mo Cangli's step-by-step inducement made Qiao Rulai suddenly see the light, "Because he didn't want us to know the reason why he did this."

"Blind guessing!" Even though Qiao Rulai was partly right, his unfounded guessing still showed his imprudence, "Don't think that you can understand the whole situation just because you have seen part of the truth, especially when your The opponent is a rare wise man. This is a possibility, but it is not a certainty."

Although it was scolding, the words were full of pointers.

Qiao Rulai felt a little bit disappointed at first, but when Mo Cangli's words came to an end, he readily accepted, "Your disciple is taught."

"To win in the game, the first thing is to know the enemy. How much do you know about God Gu Wenhuang? All your doubts come from only one source. Find out the reason and make the next move, and you will know what to do how to go."

"Yes."

Qiao Tathagata understood that Master's words were to impart knowledge, and it was also his first test question.

And when he heard Mo Cangli's words, he couldn't help but think of the reminder given to him by his master yesterday, and he already had a clear direction in his heart.

Just when Qiao Tathagata was about to bid farewell, Mo Cangli reminded lightly: "Qiao Tathagata, you have to move quickly, because you are already a lot slower."

After bidding farewell to Mo Cangli, Qiao Rulai hurried across the wilderness, and finally arrived at the ruins of the witch religion before dawn.

Looking at the shamanism that fell overnight, the poison in the air lingered for a long time, like the resentment of the dead.Ten years have covered the tragic night of that year with dust, leaving only the deep silence and desolation.

The author has something to say:

Irresponsible Little Theater:

Qiao Tathagata: I have a master in my left hand, a master in my right hand, and a master sitting on my shoulder.One of my masters is a mysterious wise man, he is super intelligent, my other master is the number one swordsman in Japan, he is superb in martial arts, and my third master is an unworldly master, he is both civil and military.Master is in hand, the world has me.

He sighed while talking: But the baby is suffering in his heart, the baby doesn't say...

(Qiao Tathagata, who was having fun while suffering, didn't notice that his three masters came to see him at the same time.)

Mo Cangli: Qiao Tathagata, stop your stupid behavior!

Miyamoto Souji: Loyalty, don't be afraid, as a teacher, I will find someone to treat your illness.

Su Zhenzhen: Jingzhong, does Yanwen know your thoughts?

Qiao Tathagata: Master, I am not sick! (How can I speak out what is in my heart? It is really a sin, a sin.)

Director Miyamoto patted Qiao Tathagata's head: I know as a teacher, be loyal and obedient, and I have to leave beforehand.

Mo Cangli turned and left: (glanced at him coldly before leaving) Don't come to me until you get rid of that stupid idea. (Was my original choice right?)

Su really didn't leave: (takes out a bottle of medicine from his sleeve, and smiles very gently) Come Jingzhong, take the medicine and you'll be fine.

Qiao Tathagata shook her head, wanting to cry but defending without tears: Master, I'm really not sick! ! (I don’t dare to talk nonsense anymore, hoot (┯_┯))

Su Zhenzhen: Jingzhong, you have to remember, don’t eat or talk indiscriminately, just say something in your heart, don’t say it out.

Qiao Tathagata: Yes, my disciple understands.

Su Zhenzhen nodded: Well, come and take the medicine...

Qiao Tathagata (with a puzzled and terrified expression): Why do you still need to take medicine! ?

Su Zhenzhen: This is a tonic. You have been running around recently, and your physical energy has been exhausted. You are now the leader of the martial arts and the leader of the Central Plains. You can't fall down first.Be good~ (touching head), eating it is good for your health, this is a tonic that Xinghua and I researched together, it’s okay.

Qiao Tathagata took the pill, swallowed it in one gulp, and immediately had a ferocious face. After a few breaths, she returned to calm, and her face became much rosier.

Qiao Tathagata has a tangled face, wanting to cry without tears, Master, can you change the taste next time, this taste is really hard for him to say ∏_∏
