"it's not true."Zhong Cheng patted Zhong Jieshan on the shoulder and said with relief.

In the past two years, he and Zhong Jieshan have been getting along day and night. He is well aware of the pain in this child's heart. He has tried to enlighten him more than once, hoping that he can look away. This is also what Zhong Cheng One of the reasons why he is reluctant to use Zhong Jieshan is that he does not want to push this child into a whirlpool that will make him miserable.

However, if he goes by his previous thoughts, it will probably make the child even more miserable.

Moreover,

"The head of Xuanxing Pavilion must be re-elected."This is an excellent opportunity for them that they must not miss."But the person I want to recommend is you."

Zhong Jieshan raised his head in shock, only to see Zhong Cheng looking down at him gently but complicatedly.

"However, I am just a junior. With such an important task, I……"Zhong Jieshan said in panic, he never thought that this would happen to him.

When Zhong Cheng saw Zhong Jieshan like this, he knew that this child really knew nothing, but he didn't know what Zhong Wanling's plan was.

Zhong Cheng sighed, sat down next to Zhong Jieshan, and said with relief:"Xuanxing Pavilion is the chief of education, and education has nothing to do with seniority. Now, in terms of cultivation, except for me, those who are still in the sect are It’s you. It’s only natural that I choose you."

"But, with my mere junior qualifications, how can I teach others?……"Zhong Jieshan's thoughts were still in confusion

"Regarding qualifications, if you need, you can ask me and your father, it's okay."Zhong Cheng said it all, feeling a little guilty. Hearing these words in Zhong Jieshan's ears made him regain his composure. Yes, the elders don't need him to manage Xuanxing Pavilion, but they just want to use him to control Xuanxing Pavilion. Just take back the control of the pavilion. So what if he has no qualifications or experience? The elders originally wanted a puppet who would obey orders. However, if he becomes this puppet, won't he become a tool for others to fight among themselves? In this way, how is he different from those people who made him regret so much?

Zhong Jieshan lowered his eyes and clenched his fists tightly in his sleeves.

He was unwilling, he was unwilling. He couldn't refuse, but he also didn't want to accept, He could only resist with silence.

Seeing Zhong Jieshan like this, Zhong Cheng sighed again, remembered the letter Zhong Wanling had asked him to, took out a letter from his sleeve, and handed it to Zhong Jieshan.

Zhong Jieshan took the letter, opened it respectfully, and took a look. My breath froze.

There was only one sentence on the letter:

"If you don’t practice Buddhism, you can’t atone for your sins."

Zhong Jieshan only felt that the letter in his hand was as heavy as a thousand pounds.

Zhong Cheng saw that Zhong Jieshan's face was pale and his breathing was stagnant. His hands were shaking and he could not even hold a thin piece of paper in his hands. He was worried and reached out to take the letter and take a look. Unexpectedly, Zhong Jieshan's hands were Tightly, hold the entire letter paper tightly between your fists

"you……"

Zhong Jieshan held the letter tightly with both hands, staring blankly at the ground in front of his knees, and his whole body was still trembling uncontrollably, as if what he was holding was not a piece of paper, but a knife inserted into his heart.

Zhong Jieshan sat stiffly for a while before he gradually came to his senses. He loosened his hands with trembling hands. No writing could be seen on the completely wrinkled letter paper, but he knew clearly what was said in the letter and what was said behind it. What.

His mother killed the most important person to the entire family because of selfish desires, and his closest family members almost pushed the entire sect to hell because of selfish desires and hatred - this was their sin, and it was also his sin. From then on, he, Zhong Jieshan, was a sinner. He knew that he was no longer qualified to seek anything. However, he still wanted to atone for his sins and save his family from their sins. But even he himself is trapped in the thorns of sinful karma, how can he save others...

Without practicing Asura, there is no way to atone for sinful karma.

There is no way to atone for one’s sins without practicing Asura!

Can he?

"Master, who wrote this letter?!"

Zhong Cheng was stunned, but couldn't answer. How could he say that the person behind him was another junior? Even if he did, I'm afraid no one would believe it.

Zhong Jieshan looked at Zhong Cheng's secretive words, and his mind felt like being drowned by water. The washed ink blew away the fog that made him confused, leaving only a piece of clarity.

Such sharp words were not something that his gentle and thoughtful master could write.

And the fact that the master wanted to take it away showed that the master did not know The content written in the letter was not written by Master, so who left it?

It was someone whom Master trusted and relied on very much.

He was the person behind Master.

"Who should master be used by?"Zhong Jieshan's tone was slightly angry.

Zhong Cheng's expression changed slightly."What are you talking about?……"

Zhong Jieshan is not a stupid person, he just wants to escape from lust and fighting. Because of his escape, he can see things more clearly than others. Now that I think about it, many things have already been traced

"Was it three years ago?"Zhong Jieshan murmured to himself, raised his head and looked at his master,"Starting from three years ago, master began to actively participate in the decision-making of the Presbyterian Council. Although the second grandfather led many meetings, it was actually master who was behind the scenes. My father said that he started monitoring the movements of his clan members three years ago. Grandpas Zhong Yao and Zhong Yang also said that the master seems to have changed, and is more enthusiastic about family affairs than before... It's not that the master has changed, but the person behind the master?! who is it? who's that person?"

Zhong Cheng frowned and said nothing. He didn't expect Zhong Jieshan to be so sharp and react so fiercely.

But at that moment, Zhong Cheng suddenly understood the reason why Zhong Wanling nominated Zhong Jieshan - she had already seen that Zhong Jieshan was repressed under the surface. Soul, this child is far smarter and sharper than he thought. He has a clear sense of right and wrong, hates internal fighting, and is dedicated to the sect and family. In this sense, there is really no more reliable candidate than Zhong Jieshan. It’s just...

Zhong Jieshan is very fast. He carefully considered the clues in his memory. He could not come forward directly, but he could convince the master and willingly work for him, even if he kept silent to his close associates. Suddenly, that sentence flashed through his mind again,"Without Shura, there is no way to atone for sins." Industry"——Being so decisive and knowing the secret behind it, could it be said that……

"Is it Zhong Wanling?"

"no!"Zhong Cheng denied it,"Don't ask again. This is not something you should ask!"

Zhong Jieshan looked at Zhong Cheng blankly. Zhong Cheng was gentle and open-minded to his juniors. Some people said that he was naughty, but at least Zhong Jieshan had never seen this person get angry with others or take advantage of his seniority. His identity intimidated the juniors.

But Zhong Jieshan calmed down.

"……I will follow Master's wishes."

Zhong Cheng gasped, turned around, and looked at Zhong Jieshan with some surprise.

Zhong Jieshan lowered his eyes, as if he was usually obedient."But can master answer Jieshan's last question?"Zhong Jieshan didn't wait for Zhong Cheng to answer, he raised his head, his phoenix eyes were extremely bright,"What do Master and that person want to do?"

Zhong Cheng was silent for a long time, raised his head, looked at the camphor winding supporting the Dream Tower, and sighed softly:"……It’s just that the dream that I don’t want to see comes true."

Zhong Jieshan looked at Zhong Cheng for a long time. The cool night breeze passed through the dream building, gently blowing the old man's gray beard and hair, and the elegant fragrance of camphor lingered in the building, soothing the uneasiness and restlessness in the hearts of the two of them.

Zhong Jieshan He handed over his hands and persuaded him:"Master, it's past the time for ugliness. It's better to take a rest for a while."

Zhong Cheng was still worried and just waved his hand casually.

Zhong Jieshan smiled slightly, clasped his fists and persuaded:"Leave the matter of the symposium to Jieshan. Master, don't worry. How about tonight?"

Zhong Cheng was startled and looked back at Zhong Jieshan. Zhong Jieshan just clasped his fists and lowered his eyes with a gentle and humble smile."You……"

Zhong Jieshan just smiled and replied:"Jie Shan will definitely live up to his mission. Master, get some rest early. Jie Shan will take his leave first."

When Zhong Jieshan stepped out of the Dream Tower, he was already at the end of his ugly life.

In another hour, it will be dawn. The night was at its darkest at this time, and the dim corridor lights could not fade away the dark night.

Zhong Jieshan spread his palms and unfolded the letter paper in his palms

"If you don’t practice Buddhism, you can’t atone for your sins."The handwriting is thick and vigorous, with determination and perseverance in both horizontal and vertical strokes, but it is full of freedom and uninhibitedness.

The Master said that seeing words is like seeing a person. Perhaps, this is the truest appearance of that person. It is also an example that he should follow.

"If you don’t practice Buddhism, you can’t atone for your sins."Zhong Jieshan recited this sentence silently, folded the letter again, put it into the inner compartment, and stepped into the night resolutely.

Now that things had happened, Zhong Cheng naturally couldn't sleep peacefully. When the sky became clear, Zhong Cheng hurriedly visited the current president. The head of the family, Zhong Lin. Zhong Lin was well aware of the movements of Zhong Rucheng and Fuchun Mansion. The two of them rushed to the Eight Immortals Hall without saying a word, and asked the steward to invite Zhong He from Baicao Pavilion.

But when they arrived, things turned out to be difficult. Done. Zhong Lin’s thoughts are very consistent with Zhong Cheng’s. Even if Fuchun Mansion and Zhong Rucheng reach an agreement, Zhong Rucheng will be forcibly removed from the position of head of Xuanxing Pavilion. After all, this opportunity must not be lost and will not come again. No one knows this guy who is obsessed with profit. There will be some trouble later. But Zhong He objects. Zhong Lin believes that the Zou family has paid off the Fuchun Mansion for Zhong Rucheng, and they have lost the opportunity to take action now. The reason for the land dispute is no longer tenable. They have no reason to depose Zhong Rucheng. Moreover, at least half of the members of the Presbyterian Council must approve the temporary symposium. Now that Zhong Qian is not at Shanmen, they cannot hold a symposium.

"I'm afraid Zhong Qian has already been bribed by the Zou family, otherwise he would never leave the mountain gate at this time. He clearly intends to delay the opportunity for a symposium."Zhong Cheng is worried.

Unfortunately, Zhong He doesn't agree."You can't just think that others do it on purpose just because they are different from you, right? Originally, we agreed to do it tomorrow, and Zhong Qian would be back tomorrow. The missed opportunity was because the situation changed too quickly. Was there any intention on his part? Qingcheng (Zhong Cheng’s word), you have become more and more domineering over the years. what's wrong with you? I asked you to tell me before, but you dodged and refused to tell me. Have you changed your gender in the past few years?"

Zhong Cheng was speechless. He couldn't speak. He always avoided talking before because he knew it would be useless. Now he finally sees hope and wants to do something."Then we can't leave Zhong Rucheng alone anymore.……"
