    Chapter Index

    Hong Hong Er turned violently, threw her face into Xie Ren’s arms, and screamed furiously.

    The scream was wordless, meaningless, not even a cry, but a chilling sound. Without looking at who it was, it could have been taken as the hissing of a grown man on the verge of a breakdown, or as the dying struggle of a beast whose throat had been slit by a knife, as if the only way out was to die at once, a sound that could have been made by anyone, but should not have been made by a ten year old child. So he shocked everyone.

    In the middle of the day, the Master said, “I’m serious, it’s better to let go.”

    Only then did Feng Xin come back to his senses, said: “Your Highness! Quickly let go, you beware of ……” However, in the end, he still did not have the heart to say it. Xie Ren said, “It’s okay.”

    The senior brother Zhu, however, was very concerned about the safety of His Highness the Crown Prince, and saw the red red child rubbing blood, tears and snot on Xie Ren’s white robe, and went forward to pull the young child, saying under his breath, “Little friend, don’t do it!”

    Who knows, the more he pulls, the toddler but ah ah screams, dead will not let go, hands and feet, more and more tightly. Three or four Taoists came up and couldn’t pull him down, but let him hang on Xie Ren’s body like a little monkey. Xie Ren was both amused and pitiful, holding Hong Hong Er with one hand, soothing him along his thin spine, while raising the other hand, saying: “That’s all. No need to worry, just let him be like this.”

    After a pause, feeling that the young child in his arms did not draw, gradually quieted down, Xie Ren only asked the bystanders in a low voice: “Immortal Music Palace fire, there is no one else hurt, right?”

    Muoi said, “Nope. The ones who stayed in the house were just us.”

    Since the Immortal Music Palace had already been burnt to a charred and broken wall, Xie Ren naturally couldn’t stay any longer.

    After confirming that only burned the house, and did not hurt people, a group of catching up with the peak to the Taoist people began to clean up the scene, turned over to those golden residues and blackened gems, are heartbroken, but Xie Ren does not care much.

    In addition to his daily use of things exquisite some, this also did not put what valuables in the immortal music palace. The most valuable thing was the more than two hundred famous swords that he had collected, however, true gold is not afraid of being refined by fire, these famous swords were originally all forged by thousands of hammers in the fire, and they were safe and sound. After personally turning them out, Xie Ren temporarily stored them in the Four Elephant Palace of the State Masters.

    As for Honghong’er, he hugged Xie Ren tightly, cried for a while, got tired of crying and fell asleep. Xie Ren had wanted to bring him down to Tai Cang Mountain and find a place to settle down, but the State Master wanted him to make a trip to the Four Elephant Palace first, so Xie Ren brought him there first.

    Putting the young boy on the couch inside the house, Xie Ren casually tucked him in, lowered the curtain, and retreated with Feng Xin and Mu Yi, saying, “Master of the State, this child’s destiny, is it really that terrible?”

    The State Master bristled, “Why don’t you do your own math and see what has happened since he appeared?”

    The three were silent. This young boy out of the public eye fell off the city wall, forcing the Shangyuan festival of heaven to swim three laps interrupted. And then came out is Qi Rong to take him out of anger horse dragged the ground, the street disturbed the people, so that to Feng Xin broken arm, Xie Ren and the Lord of the country clash, the Queen in tears. Now, and led to the entire Tai Cang Mountain on the black temple suppression of the resentment of the spirit are broken out of the seal, but also burned the immortal music palace. It really is a succession of bad luck that follows one another like a shadow.

    Xie Ren asked, “Is there any way to fix it?”

    The State Master said, “Settlement? What do you mean? Change your life?”

    Xie Ren nodded his head. The State Master said, “Your Highness, you don’t learn numbers from me, so in this regard, you really don’t know anything at all. If you understood, you wouldn’t have asked this.”

    Xie Ren was stunned, sat upright and said, “I wish to hear more.”

    The State Master then took the teapot on the table, poured a cup of tea, and said, “Your Highness the Crown Prince, do you still remember that when you turned six, His Majesty and the Empress summoned me to the palace to divine for you, and I asked a question?”

    Looking at the cup of dense tea, Xie Ren thought for a moment and said, “You mean, cup of water for two?”

    Back then, in order to give the Prince Xie Ren fortune-telling, the State Master asked him many questions. There were questions with solutions and questions without solutions, Xie Ren answered every one of them, the master of the country will change the pattern to praise him, listening to the master of the country and the Empress smile, there are also many questions and answers as a good story. But one of the questions, after Xie Ren answered, the master of the country did not make any comments, the outside world is not familiar, even the wind letter is not very clear, Mu love is never heard of. This question is the “cup of water two people”.

    The Master of the Kingdom said, “The two of them were traveling in the desert, and they were dying of thirst, but they only had a cup of water left. Whoever drinks it will live, but whoever does not drink it will die. If you are a god, with whom is the cup of water? –You keep quiet for a while, I’ll ask the others, and you’ll see how they answer.”

    His latter sentence was addressed to the two men who were serving not far away. Mu Qi deliberated for a moment and cautiously replied, “Can you please tell the State Master who these two people are respectively, what their character is, and what their merits and faults are? One must know the root of the matter before making a decision.”

    For his part, Feng Xin said, “I don’t know! Don’t ask me, tell them to decide for themselves.”

    Xie Ren snorted and the State Master said, “What are you laughing at? Do you remember how you answered yourself?”

    Xie Ren restrained his smile and said with a straight face, “Give another cup.”

    Upon hearing this, Feng Xin and Mu Yi turned their faces one way and lowered their heads the other, neither seeming to be able to bear to listen. Xie Ren turned back and said in a serious manner, ”What are you guys laughing at? I am serious. If I were a god, I would definitely give another cup.”

    The State Master’s hand gently waved above the cup of tea, and the tea slowly flowed in the cup by itself, if it had life. He then continued, “There is a definite amount of qi under this sky, good or bad. Just like this cup of water, there is always so much, if you drink enough, no one else gets to drink. One person has more, another person has less. Throughout history, all the strife in the final analysis, are because there are more than one person, the water is only a cup, to whom it makes sense. Want to change your life for another? It’s difficult, but not impossible. But if you change the life of this child, then the fate of others will also be altered, adding to the grievances. When you first said you wanted to give another cup of water, it’s the same as when you said you wanted to choose the third path today, intending to open the source of water, thinking quite beautifully, but, let me tell you, it’s basically impossible to do so.”

    Listening silently, Xie Ren didn’t agree, but didn’t refute too much, saying, “Many thanks for the State Master’s teachings.”

    The State Master drank that tea, smashed his mouth, and said, “That’s not necessary. You wouldn’t listen to the teachings anyway.”

    “…… “Being seen through Xie Ren lightly coughed and said, “State Master, today in front of the Divine Martial Hall, the disciple has a momentary feeling, the words are impulsive, much offense, I hope that the State Master will bear with me.”

    The State Master caged his sleeves with both hands and smiled faintly as he said, “You are my favored disciple and Your Highness, the Crown Prince, how can I not be magnanimous? Your Highness, I can say that you are the most blessed person I have ever seen.”

    Not understanding the meaning, Xie Ren listened carefully. The State Master said again, “You have talent, ambition, willingness to work hard. You come from a noble background and have a kind nature. There is no one more worthy of the words “Pride of Heaven” than you. But I still don’t trust you. I am afraid that you won’t be able to pass that hurdle.”

    Xie Ren said, “Uneasy means?”

    The state master said: “although you have reached such a high level, but, some things you are still far from understanding, others can not teach. Say today in the temple of the divine martial arts, you speak of those, should not worship God what, although few people think of this rationale, you are young to have thought, not bad. But you should not think that you are the only one who has thought of this since the beginning of time.”

    Xie Ren slightly opened his eyes as the State Master said, “What you said today was thought of decades or even centuries ago, but it couldn’t become a big trend, the voice was small so not many people heard it, why is that? Have you ever thought about it.”

    After a slight pause, Xie Ren said, “Because although those people thought about it, they didn’t do it and weren’t firm enough.”

    The State Master said, “And what about you? And what makes you think you’re firm enough?”

    Xie Ren said, “State Master, do you think, I can ascend?”

    The State Master gave him a look and said, “If you can’t fly no one can. It’s just a matter of time.”

    Xie Ren smiled faintly and said, “Then, please watch.”

    He pointed to the sky and said, “If one day I ascend, I will make everything I said today a great power!”

    Feng Xin and Mu Yi stood behind him, taking in his words, both unconsciously raising their heads slightly. The corners of Feng Xin’s mouth were slightly raised, while the bright color in Mu Yi’s gaze was exactly the same as Xie Ren’s. The State Master nodded and said, ”Alright, then I’ll watch – however, I don’t think it’s good for you to ascend too early. Let me ask you, what is the Dao?”

    Xie Ren owed his head and said, “As you said, when a person walks on the road, it is the way.”

    The State Master said, “Yes. But, you haven’t traveled enough. So, I think it’s time for you to go down the mountain and take a walk.”

    Xie Ren’s eyes lit up. The State Master said, “This year you are also seventeen, you are now permitted to go down Tai Cang Mountain and go out on a cloud tour.”

    Xie Ren said, “This is just right!”

    He was in the imperial city for a day, thinking of the lord of the country, Qi Rong and others will be a little depressed, coupled with such a magnificent immortal music palace was torched, it is inevitable to be more entangled with his parents, not if you go farther away, dive into their own path.

    At this time, the State Master added, “Your Highness, for many years, there has been a saying that has been passed down by word of mouth and has been taken for granted, but it is actually wrong, just that no one has ever realized it.”

    Xie Ren said, “Which sentence?”

    The Master of the State said, “When a man goes up, he becomes a god; when he goes down, he becomes a ghost.”

    Xie Ren thought for a moment and said, “Is there anything wrong with this sentence?”

    The State Master said, “Of course it is not true. You remember: when one goes up, one is still a human being; when one goes down, one is still a human being.”

    Xie Ren is still chewing on this, the State Master patted his shoulder, looked back, and said: ”In short, this child bar …… you should not be too relieved, people have their own lives. Many times, not you want to help, there is a way to help. What’s the matter, turn around and say. First go out to practice it. Hopefully, when you come back, you have grown.”

    However, everyone did not expect that that night, that child escaped from the Imperial Extremity View in the night and disappeared.

    What no one expected was that after this excursion, Xie Ren, the seventeen-year-old Prince of Xianle Kingdom, defeated the nameless ghost at the Yinian Bridge, and just like that, he ascended in the midst of lightning and thunder.

    The three worlds are sensational.
