Chapter 236 - Perplexed

Entering into the night, looking in froh it couldn’t be described as thousands but the tiny dots of lights, still gave one a war

But to Ghost Li, maybe it was the most unfamiliar place to him?

He watched the scene silently and then turned, on the not-very-tall or not-very-strong city walls, there was nobody The soughing night breeze blew over fro past the city walls which were battled from the demon beasts catastrophe, onto he and Zhou Yixian

For so Taoist were not there, only Zhou Yixian and Ghost Li at this nighttime, stood at the city wall Zhou Yixian looked perfectly co that bamboo pole with the banner, the other hand had a bottle of wine, taking a big swig, he ood wine” he spoke with mirth in his words then spoke to Ghost Li, “The wine is still warm, do you want some?”

Ghost Li silently shook his head, said, “Senior you can have it to yourself”

Zhou Yixian [hei hei] laughed and again took a swig, however after thisit down casually, see bad about it, he tried asking Ghost Li

This night, the ht like water, the secluded city walls were illu, looked up at the sky and seehts, for a moment did not speak Ghost Li walked up to the wall, his eyes instead landed on a certain spot on the wall bricks, there was a faashes decorated the bricks thickly

A terrifying sight!

“These are left by the innumerable de since when, had walked over, faintly said

On the city wall they toured on, this oldjokes as he was usually, instead from Ghost Li’s view, he looked coently brushed past the deep gashes, against his fingertips, it felt astringent, rough and hard, not knowing how many innocent souls, had cried out under these clawCity, were there hed, walked to the side of the wall and looked down, in his eyes, it reflected the lights in the city, “Many, although otten an early start and escaped to the north but there were at least fifty percent of the commoners who lost their lives and dead by those beasts”

Ghost Li looked at Zhou Yixian, suddenly spoke, “Senior, those innocent commoners that you speak of, every one of the well, not to say all but at least ninety percent of them, they were all harmless to humans and animals, but why is it that they would have this unexpected disaster? And with their normal life, what caused it?”

Zhou Yixian looked at Ghost Li, his hand on the city wall, said, “Today you are able to stand here, and those commoners lost their innocent lives, I ask you, what do you think is the reason?”

Ghost Li was silent for a long time, “I am different from them, I practise Taoism, even if the demon beasts come, I can avoid it”

Zhou Yixian nodded, said, “It was so, you see everyone's the saht inof the words [乃是从大眼光，大境界着眼], please letthat everyone is equal, it is this , not only humans, even ants and ferocious beasts, are no different from us” He paused, smiled and continued, “However, in this world, how can it be only one kind that can look past e of the words [又芑能是区区一种可以看清的], please let reat abilities, have powers, and so are able to escape from desperate situations, and have surpassed the coh it is said that everyone is equal but in the nuances, we are never equal”

Ghost Li’s face revealed a perplexed look, shook his head slowly and said, “I do not wish to surpass the commoners and also do not have the h I practise the Tao but I have not the slightest interest in immortality”

Zhou Yixian indifferently asked, “Then what is it that you want?”

Ghost Li bitterly laughed, quietly said, “This is the problem What I want, even I ed, the clear ht evenhis shadow longer

Zhou Yixian did not speak, quietly watched Ghost Li, just that in his gaze, it was different fro before him was Ghost Li as the only one in the world who practised four volumes of [Tian Shu], his skills already reached the level of unfathoer than hiht breeze brushed past the grey hairs on the sides of his head, even the bright ather quietly by his side

But Ghost Li did not sense anything different, in fact, Zhou Yixian only quietly stood before hi tiood-for-nothing, even what’s the reason I a for, what I want, I can’t comprehend it too”

Zhou Yixian calmly looked at Ghost Li, a faint s man”

Ghost Li was stunned, this was the first ti man, but this was not the important point, after a , where a?”

Zhou Yixian indifferently said, “You think that you are good-for-nothing when you are unable to comprehend this question, toable to think of this question, you have already surpassed the others in this world”

Ghost Li was surprised, said, “What?”

Zhou Yixian smiled, beckoned him and said, “Co his finger pointing to the city and looked, in HeYang City, under theunceasingly

Zhou Yixian watched those lights, his gaze also contained s, after a period quietly asked, “What did you see?”

Ghost Li said, “These are all candlelights from numerous coht, it is the household lights Each spot of light, is like a living person, they are all living on this world, may be pleased or maybe displeased with their lives but they eventually still have to live on, let s, howjust for the sake of it, and so on the reason e are living, there isn’t one in ten thousands”

Ghost Li was speechless, he had never thought like this but hearing froical, he was unable to counter

Zhou Yixian watched him, his face suddenly revealed a sad look but it vanished with a flash, and then he sighed, stretched out his hand and patted Ghost Li’s shoulder

Ghost Li, although could not be said that he was taken aback but his mind indeed was in a turmoil, with his current skills and natural defense reaction, he subconsciously avoided Zhou Yixian’s hand but the strange thing happened, that obscure and usually sloppy Zhou Yixian, that hovering hand, with Ghost Li’s current cultivation, actually did not e to avoid it, and just like that was patted by Zhou Yixian

Ghost Li’s mind was really in a shock, before he could react to it, instead the words which made him even more shocked came from Zhou Yixian

“Furthermore, you are the only one in this world who have practised the four volumes of [Tian Shu], how are you the same as others?”

Once the words were spoken, Ghost Li was nonplussed, this matter had always been his secret In fact, the third volume from the Celestial Emperor Treasury and the fourth volume from Tianyin Temple Wordless Jade Wall, even Lu Xueqi and those Tianyin Temple’s monks, did not know those mysterious inscriptions were fro till the end had practised and so understood those were [Tian Shu] fourth volume

And at that moment, Zhou Yixian instead clearly spoke of this secret, how could he not be shocked, for a moment his face was full of disbelief, stared at Zhou Yixian
