"Meet Uncle Master, Junior Brother Liu has brought it!"

Zhang Feng respectfully bowed to Jin Hu.

"Okay, you go down!"

Jin Hu waved his hand at Zhang Feng.

"yes!"

Zhang Feng agreed and turned around and walked out of the hall.

The two hall doors were as spiritual as they were, slowly closing themselves, leaving only Jin Hu and Liu Changsheng in the hall.

"Disciple Liu Changsheng greets the hall master!"

Liu Changsheng gave a deep gift to Jin Hu.

"Sit down!"

Jin Hu stretched out his finger and pointed to the one in front of the two rows of wooden chairs below the seat.

"I heard that these seats are the seats of the elders and the disciples in charge in the hall, so I dare not overestimate them!"

After hesitating for a moment, Liu Changsheng said respectfully.

"If you like standing, then stand!"

Jin Hu said without comment, playing with a light silver token in his hand, and before he could wait for Liu Changsheng to say something, he asked again: "By the way, what is your purpose in practicing Taoism?"

Liu Changsheng didn't expect Jin Hu to ask this question. He was stunned at first, pondered for a moment, and said, "Disciple wants to become stronger!"

"Oh, what if you become stronger?"

Jin Hu's mute expression never changed, but his eyes were directed at Liu Changsheng's eyes.

For a moment, Liu Changsheng felt that the pair of eyes were as sharp as a knife, as if they wanted to see through his own thoughts!

A little inexplicable panic suddenly arose in his heart, but the expression on his face remained unchanged at all. He said with a careful word: "I heard that cultivating immortals can lead to immortality, but I want to be immortal!"

He originally wanted to become stronger in order not to be bullied. From childhood to adulthood, he was scared of being bullied. He wanted to be proud, take revenge, and trampled all the guys who like to bully people under his feet. After thinking about it carefully, this answer seemed not generous enough, so he simply found out the street-like rhetoric of "Immortality" to make excuses.

In fact, he already understood at this moment that the noble Nascent Soul cultivator only had a life span of about a thousand years. It depends on whether the magic power is deep enough or not. Immortality is simply a dream that is difficult to realize!

He just turned around at the gate of hell, and he didn't believe that practicing Taoism can make people immortal. If he is not lucky, he might die faster.

As if he believed Liu Changsheng's words, Jin Hu changed his mind and said, "Is this why your parents want to name you Changsheng?"

"This... the disciple dare not deceive. When the disciple was six years old, both of his parents died and became an orphan. What does the word "Eternal Life" given by his parents mean? The disciple does not understand and has no chance to ask!"

After hesitating for a moment, Liu Changsheng still told the truth.

If it weren't for the disciples recruiting from the Tianshi Mansion, if it weren't for the fact that he had spiritual roots, no one would care about his name, and even he wouldn't care about it. The name is just a symbol for him. The three words "Liu Changsheng" are no different from the names "Liu Xiaozi", "little bastard", and "little blacksmith". As for whether the name "Changsheng" can make him live a few more days than others, he never thought about it.

"It's pretty honest!"

Jin Hu's face showed a faint smile and said slowly: "Liu Changsheng, a native of Huilong Town, Dongping Prefecture, the Eastern Wu Kingdom, died at the age of six. He was able to survive by relying on help from others. However, he was naughty by nature and was fighting. At the age of eleven, he was taken in by Li and became an apprentice of a blacksmith. He followed Master Liu to learn 14 poems and books. This time he was recruited as a disciple by the Tianshi Mansion. He cheated his companion Chu Man's snow-patterned silver with 100 taels of silver and used his deception to win the trust of Liang Bin, the son of the prefect, and saw him differently. What is the right thing to say?"

After being exposed by Jin Hu, Liu Changsheng felt his heart beating and his back was chilling. No wonder Jin Hu wanted to summon him again in three days. It turned out that he was going to investigate his orphan identity. It was not a secret. When he found out that he had spiritual roots and decided to recruit him as a disciple of the Tianshi Mansion, Wei Dong, Yan Ran and others had asked Li Tiejiang and Liu Weng in detail about everything about him.

As for the fraud of Chu Manxue, the details that can be known are obviously Wei Dong and others are secretly paying attention to him all the way.

Jin Hu investigated his background and what did he want to do?

Seeing the smile suddenly appearing on Jin Hu's face, I felt even more inexplicable.

"A good thing? Or a bad thing?"

After hesitating for a moment, he said with a thorny forehead: "The master of the hall is clear and clear. The disciple is a little bit naughty. However, the disciple has always been a person who does not deceive me, and I do not deceive others. It is also a reason for getting one hundred taels of silver from Chu Manxue, and I am willing to fight and the other is willing to be beaten!"

"I don't deceive me, I don't deceive others. I'm here to ask you, why did you escape with Chu Manxue this time!"

"I walked together. Although he had the intention to plot against me, he did not succeed. Moreover, he was not a rude person. Over time, I got along a little bit harmoniously. As for the disciples who left that day, they had no other distractions. It was because of the original intention of saving my companions in crisis!"

Liu Changsheng said this sentence quite calmly. Indeed, when he ran away on Chu Manxue that day, he did not think about what reward he would get from Chu Manxue in the future.

"Originally? Well, I believe you once. I'll ask you again, humans or demons, which one do you think is more terrifying?"

Jin Hu nodded and asked casually.

Liu Changsheng never thought about this question carefully, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Before being recruited into the Heavenly Master Mansion, I heard about the terribleness of demons, but I have never seen it. Seeing the power of monsters today is indeed a fearful thing. However, monsters live in deep mountains and lakes, which are difficult for ordinary people to encounter. The evil people in the world are as hateful as monsters, and they can be seen everywhere. The disciples have been bullied and insulted by many evil people since childhood. When reading the books of sages, they have even heard of the deeds of some great traitors. The evils of monsters are nothing more than the nature of eating people. If a person eats people, he is more varied than a monster!"

"From what you mean, do you think humans are more terrifying than demons?"

"This is not what I mean. I think that monsters are equally terrible as humans. When you are in a group of monsters, it is naturally even more terrible to monsters, because humans are like food to monsters. If you don't kill them, they will eat you; and in the world, people are even more terrible. Sometimes, even if you are good to people, you may not be able to get the same good. For some benefits, good people will become bad people!"

"It's interesting. I didn't expect that you have some knowledge at such a young age. It seems that you have been bullied a lot. Born in this world, you are a villain who lives better! In the past few days, you must have understood that cultivating immortals is not a smooth journey. You will have life worries at any time. Being bullied and rolled your eyes is common. How are you going to deal with it?"

"Practice diligently and make yourself stronger!"

"What you mean is that when you are strong, you can fight tooth and bully others in reverse. Is this your nature?"

"The disciples don't like to bully people, they just don't want to be bullied!"

"You don't need to argue about this. Even if you have the idea and behavior of bullying others, I will not blame you. Who makes the other party weaker than you? However, it is useless to just think about being stronger than others. There are many strong people in this world. Not to mention that you are still a mortal who has not even condensed true energy. Even if you become a golden elixir and a Nascent Soul cultivator, there are also countless people who are stronger than you. At that time, you will find that no matter how hard you work, you cannot become the strongest person. Maybe you will be discouraged by it, affect your original heart, and fall into a devil's obstacle. Therefore, there is only one opponent and goal on your path of cultivation, that is yourself. Only by constantly surpassing yourself can you become stronger!"

"This... I have a shallow understanding and have not thought about this yet. Thank you for your teachings!"

"Do you know why there are immortal cultivation organizations like the Heavenly Master Mansion in this world?"

"Because there are human-eating monsters in this world, the purpose of the Tianshi Mansion is to subdue demons and protect the safety of mortals in the world!"

"Do you really think so?"

"This is what Wei Dong, Yanran and other senior brothers teach their disciples to think so, but the disciples think it's right!"

"The Heavenly Master Mansion naturally wants to subdue demons and eliminate demons, otherwise, the Heavenly Master Mansion will not be worthy of being offered by the Great Yan Dynasty. You are right. However, whether it is the Heavenly Master Mansion or other immortal cultivation organizations, the real purpose of countless immortal cultivators gathering together is not to subdue demons and eliminate demons, but because they are afraid of being bullied, because everyone wants to join forces to bully others!"

"This... I don't understand. Isn't the Tianshi Mansion the largest immortal cultivation force in the Great Yan Dynasty? Are you still afraid?"

"The biggest force does not mean the strongest force. If you want to stand at the top of the human world, the Tianshi Mansion is still far from being there, and you and I are even more insignificant in the Tianshi Mansion. Junior Brother Xiao Han is very talented and has hard practice. In time, there is great hope to enter the Nascent Soul Realm, but unfortunately dies in the hands of the Blood Lion Chiyun. What do you think?"

"Disciple thinks that the blood lion Chiyun is too hateful to make trouble outside the mountain gate!"

"Oh, that's how you think? Then if you encounter a powerful monster, will you fight with it or just know how to escape?"

"If a disciple can fight against a monster, he will naturally have to fight. If he can't fight, he can only escape his life!"

"So, are you still afraid of monsters at heart?"

"Yes, the disciple is still just a mortal now. There is no way to defeat the monster. He can only fight with his life!"

"Then what do you think you should do to become powerful and not be afraid of monsters anymore?"

"Just just now, the head of the hall taught his disciples to be the goal and constantly surpass themselves in order to become stronger!"

Liu Changsheng was becoming more and more confused. He didn't understand what Jin Hu was going around like this. He could only follow the other party's question. When he didn't know how to answer, he could only tell the truth and say whatever he wanted.

"I'll ask you again, what do you think if someone stronger than you wants to use you but gives you enough benefits?"

"Disciple thinks that if this matter is beneficial to both parties, use it, it is good that the other party has not forced it!"
