Chapter 494: Two Paths There are many choices in people's lives, in fact, everyone is the same, and the reason why there is a different life in the end is mainly because of these choices, so everyone has a different life.
Getting stronger and strongest?
Ye Qingshan's first reaction was to be the strongest, because Ye Qingshan knew very well that being simple and powerful could only protect himself, and only by becoming the strongest could he protect those people he cared about, but the ninth master's sentence made him think about it before answering Ye Qingshan hesitated.
After thinking for a while, Ye Qingshan, who had no bottom in his heart, asked the Ninth Master with an open face: "Ninth Master, is there any difference between these two?"
” The Ninth Master pondered for a moment, as if he was organizing his language, and after a while, a serious look appeared on his face: "Cultivation is like climbing a mountain, everyone wants to climb to the top of the highest mountain, but there are very few who can really climb to the top of the mountain. ” Looking at Ye Qingshan and pursing his lips, a touch of complexity appeared on the Ninth Master's face.
The dry palm clenched the bronze short stick, pointed to the mountain behind him, and a trace of remembrance flashed in his eyes: "It's like this Niujiao Mountain behind me, this mountain is very rugged, the more you get to the top of the mountain, the steeper the slope becomes, there are several roads on the mountain, near and far, long and short, but without exception they are all dead ends, and no road can lead directly to the top of the mountain." ” A touch of seriousness appeared on the face of the Ninth Master, staring at Ye Qingshan in front of him, and the Ninth Master's deep voice was heavy: "Little doll, if you just want to simply become stronger, the Ninth Master has many shortcuts that can make you grow by leaps and bounds in a short period of time, and even be reborn."
But correspondingly, when the path you have chosen comes to an end, you will not be able to move an inch, or even have no way out.
After all, this road is not a mountain road, this is a road that once you set foot on it, you can't turn back!
” Shaking his head, a touch of the elder's helplessness appeared on his wrinkled face, as if he felt that what he said was too serious, the ninth master cleared his throat and adjusted his state: "However, if you want to become the handful of people standing on the top of the mountain, the Ninth Master has no shortcuts for you, at most he can only tell you some common sense, so that you can take fewer detours when groping."
Halfway through his words, the Ninth Master suddenly had a stiff face, a stern look appeared on the wrinkled old face, and he looked at Ye Qingshan with a solemn expression: "But there is one thing that the Ninth Master must tell you, this road is very difficult to walk, the Ninth Master has lived for so many years, and has seen countless people choose this path, but none of them have really climbed to the top, and even according to their qualifications, their achievements are far more than that." ” Taking a deep breath, the Ninth Master looked at Ye Qingshan with a serious face: "So, little doll, you must think clearly, the Ninth Master will say it again, this is not a mountain road, once it is decided, there is no chance to turn back!"
” With a frowning brow, Ye Qingshan stared at the Ninth Master in front of him with a trace of uncertain hesitation on his face, Ye Qingshan played a little slippery head, and asked directly: "Then the Ninth Master, how did you choose it in the first place?"
” The Ninth Master was stunned, as if he didn't expect Ye Qingshan to give himself such an answer, which the Ninth Master had never expected before. opened his mouth, and on the wrinkled old face of the ninth master, his clear eyes carried a touch of complexity, and a sigh of mixed feelings echoed in the air for a long time: "The ninth master was arrogant at the beginning, so he naturally chose the second one."
It's a pity that the heart is higher than the sky, and the life is thinner than paper.
The specific situation Jiu Ye is too lazy to tell you, this little doll, in short, Jiu Ye can only tell you that if I had chosen a shortcut at the beginning, Jiu Li would not necessarily lose the battle against the deer. ” Staring at the sighing Ninth Master in front of him, Ye Qingshan pondered for a moment, and a touch of firmness appeared on his face: "Ninth Master, I have thought about it, I will choose the first one." ” A sharp edge flashed from the eyes of the Ninth Master, staring at Ye Qingshan, the Ninth Master rubbed the bronze short stick in his hand and asked, "Little doll, do you have to think about it?"
You know, it's not a good road. ” A touch of helplessness flashed in Ye Qingshan's eyes, with a little complexity and emotion: "Ninth Master, although I don't have your original ambition, but there is something I still care about in this world, life is very tiring, more than ninety percent of my life is pain, and less than one percent is happiness.
But it is for the sake of this happiness that is less than one percent, and countless people are willing to bear that pain.
Ninth Master, I know very well the difference between being strong and being the strongest, because in this world, only by becoming the strongest can you have the ability to protect those you care about," Ye Qingshan knew very well what he had chosen, the pitch-black beast pupils were full of loss and complexity, how could he not know that this path was very difficult to walk?
The sighs and sighs in the eyes of the Ninth Master are enough to explain everything, as a person who has walked this path, the attitude of the Ninth Master is very important to Ye Qingshan's final choice!
But Ye Qingshan still chose this rugged path, because Ye Qingshan knew very well the importance of strength!
Be clearer that being strong and being the strongest are two completely different concepts!
Simply being strong is not enough to make yourself feel at ease in this era, and only by being the strongest can you protect those you care about from being harmed.
Staring at Ye Qingshan, looking at the complex firmness that flashed in Ye Qingshan's eyes, Jiu Ye felt that the scene in front of him was extremely familiar, making Jiu Ye subconsciously think of his former self.
When Emperor Yan disappeared back then, the vitality of the entire Jiuli clan was greatly damaged, and everyone was panicked all day long, the ninth master at that time was the same as Ye Qingshan now, and there were two choices in front of him.
One is to follow the path of the predecessors, although it is destined not to climb to the highest peak, but at least it will become a strong man that no one dares to ignore.
The other is to choose to be like Emperor Yan, embark on a peak road, and finally lead the Jiuli clan to become strong again.
Jiu Ye chose the latter at the beginning, not because Jiu Ye had any lofty goals, Jiu Ye just hoped to revitalize the Jiuli clan.
The young Jiu Ye was a real genius, and even Chi You's talent was slightly deficient compared to the Jiu Ye, otherwise the Jiu Ye would not have said that if he had chosen another path, the result of the battle for the deer would likely have been rewritten.
Because the Ninth Master is extremely sure of one thing, that is, if you choose another path, your achievements will be at least stronger than Chi You!
But in the end, the name of the ninth master is buried in the long river of history, because this road is too difficult to walk, throughout the ages, how many arrogant geniuses have embarked on this road, but in the end only a few people have really reached the peak.
With a touch of complexity, the Ninth Master looked at Ye Qingshan in front of him, and vaguely the Ninth Master seemed to see his shadow in Ye Qingshan.
Shaking his head, with complexity on his face, a light smile appeared at the corner of Jiu Ye's mouth, but gradually this light smile turned into a big laugh, and finally turned into a wild laugh, that loud voice was full of wildness and sadness in ancient times, and there was a kind of vast heroism that was enough to contain heaven and earth.
The terrifying qi and blood rose in the body of the ninth master, and with the wild laughter of the ninth master, the bronze short stick held in the dry palm appeared one after another incomparably mysterious words, rising with terrifying power!
After a long time, as the laughter of the Ninth Master disappeared, a surging force full of the ancient barbaric period rose in the body of the Ninth Master, as if the Ninth Master's body was much more majestic at this moment, and the rough and heroic voice exploded in Ye Qingshan's ears: "Okay, since the little doll wants to learn, then the Ninth Master will teach you!"
But before that, the Ninth Master wants to ask you a question first, what is the essence of cultivation?
” This question is difficult to answer, because anything that involves the essence will become quite complex and profound, especially in this era of high martial arts, those things that involve the essence are often extremely close to the level of "Dao".
So what exactly is the essence of cultivation?
Ye Qingshan didn't know, frowned tightly, and Ye Qingshan, who had been thinking for a long time and still had no results in his heart, had a trace of uncertain hesitation on his face: "Becoming stronger?"
