Chapter 341 The Only Light in the Darkness
Chapter 341 The Only Light in the Darkness
Feeling the gazes of Zhang Xuanchen and Zhang Xuanlong, Zhang Wanjun did not reply immediately.
He turned around and looked towards where Qing Kingdom was.
A hint of something flickered in his dark eyes.
Her eyes also turned slightly red.
Fist clenched.
But the next moment, a look of relief appeared in his eyes.
He took a deep breath and said slowly, "Master, when I am strong enough, I want to travel around and see the world."
I want to be a wandering knight-errant, just like the chivalrous heroes in traditional Chinese novels.
At this point, Zhang Wanjun turned to look at Zhang Xuanchen, "There are too many people suffering in this world, far too many."
I can't help everyone, but I want to help those I can see.
Help them get justice and stand up for them.
Help them... eradicate evil!
"But Master, rest assured, I will always be your disciple, and I will always be a member of the Zhang family."
The Zhang family is my second home.
This will never change.
I will come back to visit often.
"As long as the family needs me, I, Zhang Wanjun, am willing to give everything, even my life!"
As he spoke, he tried to kneel on the ground.
But Zhang Xuanchen unleashed a gust of wind spiritual energy, blocking Zhang Wanjun's path and preventing him from kneeling down.
He stepped forward and helped him straighten his body.
He patted him on the shoulder and laughed, "Talk is cheap, but why are you kneeling?"
Actually, Zhang Xuanchen was somewhat surprised by Zhang Wanjun's reply, but it was also reasonable.
His childhood experiences had a profound impact on him.
It's perfectly normal to have this idea.
But he is still young, so he may have some understanding of 'evil'.
But definitely a flatbread.
Because some evils are invisible.
Even what we see with the naked eye is not true evil.
If Zhang Wanjun is mistakenly killed, it will have a great impact on his future path of cultivation, and may even cause his Dao heart to collapse.
As the mentor, he must provide correct guidance.
He glanced at Zhang Xuanlong and Zhang Wanjun with a look of satisfaction.
"very good."
There is a common thread in your answers.
That's about becoming a good person, right?
Zhang Xuanlong and Zhang Wanjun nodded.
This is true.
Zhang Xuanchen nodded. "Then what do you think makes a good person?"
Does actively helping others make someone a good person?
Is punishing evil and promoting good a sign of being a good person?
Are moral people good people?
Or does it mean that not hurting others makes you a good person?
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xuanlong and Zhang Wanjun pondered for a while, feeling as if they had an answer in their hearts, yet also as if they had no answer at all.
Finally, they honestly shook their heads and said in unison, "We don't know."
Upon seeing this, Zhang Xuanchen chuckled lightly, "I don't know either."
The two looked over in surprise.
But Zhang Xuanchen didn't look at them. He stretched, twisted his waist, and said to himself:
Some say that human nature is inherently good, but why do evil people appear in the world?
Some say human nature is inherently evil, but why are there good people in the world?
Is a person's sense of good and evil innate or acquired?
"Furthermore, what is the boundary between good and evil?"
kill?
In this world, which cultivator hasn't killed someone?
If they've both killed people, why are there righteous and evil cultivators?
Zhang Xuanchen's series of questions left Zhang Xuanlong and Zhang Wanjun somewhat bewildered.
Zhang Wanjun, in particular, was now frowning and deep in thought.
Zhang Xuanchen knew that these questions might be difficult for them to understand at present, but he didn't intend for them to understand them now.
First come, first served.
"It's good that you all want to be good people."
I also hope that you can continue down this path.
Forever and ever.
"Perhaps you don't quite understand my question, but it's okay to say what I'm trying to say."
There will be a long time ahead, and you will meet many people.
They will also experience too many things.
Similarly, you will also lose a lot.
At each stage, you will have different ideas and make different decisions.
But there are two things you must not forget.
Our original aspirations and bottom lines!
At this point, Zhang Xuanchen looked up at the azure sky, recalling the bits and pieces he had encountered since entering the world of cultivation.
He said gently, "Perhaps this world is not satisfactory."
It is rife with too much evil and too much filth.
But don't be disappointed in the world.
When you are in darkness, you don't need to wait for the sun to rise.
I am the only light in the darkness!
Effort will eventually lead to the other side.
At this point, Zhang Xuanchen looked at the two of them again, "Whether it's you or the rest of the clan."
When traveling, every word and action represents the Xuanxiao Zhang family.
If you encounter evil spirits or those who disregard human life, do not hesitate; simply kill them.
"Perhaps your future actions will be questioned, but as long as you are true to Heaven, true to Earth, true to humanity, and true to your conscience."
Then go for it!
The youngest of the two was already fourteen and had experienced a lot, so they couldn't fully understand what Zhang Xuanchen was saying.
But I can understand part of it; my heart is fluttering.
Finally, I'd like to leave you with a piece of advice.
Zhang Xuanchen looked at the two of them and said, word by word:
"Though the world may rise and fall, one must remain true to one's pure heart; guided by righteousness and guided by upright conduct, one will eventually attain enlightenment!"
The reason he said so much today is because he is worried about Zhang Wanjun.
That incident in his childhood had a profound impact on him.
Although the inner demons have been overcome, there is still no way to resist evil deeds.
I said all this to warn him not to let his emotions control him and not to do anything he will regret.
"I've said what I needed to say."
Xuanlong, go back and sign a life contract with this purple-gold war lion as soon as possible.
Don't be impatient. With your current spiritual power, you can only sign one contract at most.
It's not too late to sign the agreement when the foundation is laid.
Don't let this affect your foundation.
"Wan Jun, after you go back, don't rush into seclusion. Think carefully about what I said today."
Everything has two sides.
We need to put ourselves in others' shoes and think carefully before acting.
"Let's go back."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Xuanlong bowed to Zhang Xuanchen and said respectfully, "Thank you for your guidance, Seventh Brother."
Xuanlong benefited greatly and will certainly be more careful in his future actions.
"Seventh Brother, see you another day."
After saying that, he walked towards his own courtyard with Lion Da and Lion Er.
Zhang Wanjun did not leave immediately.
Instead, he bowed to Zhang Xuanchen.
With a face full of guilt, he said, "Master, I have disgraced you today."
Please punish me, Master.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xuanchen was taken aback, then chuckled softly.
"Was that why you were feeling down just now?"
"Do you know why you lost to Xuanlong in this battle?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Wanjun replied without hesitation:
"They thought they had found a way to defeat the enemy, and then launched a fierce attack without regard for the consequences."
Otherwise, even if they lost, they wouldn't have lost so decisively.
bang bang.
Zhang Xuanchen stepped forward and patted Zhang Wanjun on the back twice.
He laughed and said, "Isn't that clear? Why should I punish you?"
Wan Jun, you are excellent.
Really.
They are much better than I was back then.
Since you practice thunder magic, there's not much I can teach you. I can only point you in the general direction and impart some cultivation experience.
We will provide you with shelter.
How exactly it will unfold is up to you to find out and make your own way.
I will not restrict you, because you have your own path to follow.
But remember, the Zhang family and I will always be your strong support. If you get tired... remember to come home.
More importantly, don't leave without saying goodbye.
Otherwise, when you come back, I'll spank you!
Did you know that?!
