Chapter 241
"Is your action in the illusion your choice?" Daozhen had no doubts and his expression became serious.
He was not interested in life and death fighting, but he cared a lot about right and wrong.
This illusion was a means for him to keep a safe distance from Qiaomu so that he could discuss the Dao with him safely.
"In this world, cultivating immortals is the general trend."
"Follow the will to become immortals, and go against the will to become ordinary people."
"The Qiao family really made a different choice from me." Daozhen said indifferently.
As a cultivator with a heavenly spiritual root, he was highly expected by Elder Qingyi, so at the beginning of his practice, he was given a test of being ruthless and abandoning desires.
The two elders of the immortal gate had different views on being ruthless and abandoning desires. Elder Qingzhuo acted more directly and advocated killing relatives directly to end it all.
But Elder Qingyi was different.
He did not ask Daozhen to kill his parents with his own hands, but to let him forget it.
If there is no worldly desire in the heart, no suffering from the five sufferings, and the blood relatives in the world are no longer a hindrance, then why should we kill all relatives to prove our heart to the Tao?
And this is Daozhen's choice.
Daozhen is now nearly sixty years old, which is still young for a cultivator, but his parents have already died in the forty years of being trapped in the lonely city. All the wealth and hundreds of acres of fertile land have been reduced to a handful of yellow sand.
"You and I have made different choices. The immortal path is about breaking obsessions and abandoning worldly desires, which can be called transcendental. However, the so-called spiritual path of your martial arts seems to be like sharpening a knife, constantly honing your obsessions. The stronger the obsession, the deeper you enter the world, and the more difficult it is to extricate yourself." Daozhen said: "The immortal gate is the general trend, and martial arts training is just a side path. Being an enemy of the immortal gate is against the general trend. It will eventually lead to death, just like the 100,000 veterans who died in the lonely city in the past forty years." From the perspective of Daozhen or other people in the world, the Qiao family has indeed taken a path to death. How many members of the Qiao family have died at the hands of immortal cultivators so far? No matter how many people died, the Qiao family seemed to be stubborn and hit the wall, just like the veterans who died in the lonely city in the past forty years. "There are five kinds of suffering and five kinds of doors in the world. If you don't get rid of your obsession, you will have to go through the door of lust, the door of love, the door of greed..."
"You have to use so many unfamiliar words to convince yourself that cultivating immortals is the trend and the right way. It's really hard for you." Qiao Mu responded to Dao Zhen with a sneer:
"It's a pity that I'm just a crude warrior and can't understand!"
He had no intention of arguing with Dao Zhen about the pros and cons of immortals and martial arts. He just took a breath and attacked the lonely city wall beside him.
His fist sank into the wall like a mud cow into the sea. The next moment, he seemed to hear the rustling sound of leaves. The trunk of an old tree was pierced by Qiao Mu's five fingers, and several holes were poked out.
He made a move like lightning, and his hands formed into palms and slapped the trunk quickly.
The internal energy that should have been indestructible, the most yang and the most rigid, did not destroy the trunk. The strong internal energy surged along the trunk like a tide.
The next moment, there was a continuous hissing sound, and the leaves on the branches were filled with internal energy at this moment, like heavy arrows breaking through the air and flying in all directions.
Daozhen's reaction was also very fast. He swept out and quickly avoided the flying leaves, but then he was slightly stunned.
Some leaves hit Daozhen, and some leaves hit other directions of the illusion.
There was a continuous clanging sound, and thousands of sub-swords with runes written on them around the grove were hit by the leaves and hit crooked.
These leaves filled with internal energy were not powerful enough to cut off these sub-swords, but as long as the formation of the illusion array composed of thousands of swords was disrupted, it would be enough.
The magic mirror in the center of the array, which was already cracked, shook slightly, and the light on the mirror finally dimmed at this time.
"Finally..." It was not until this time that Qiao Mu opened his eyes.
At this time, he realized that there was a soft but rough little tongue licking his face next to him. This tongue was small and soft, and there was a strange numbness?
Qiao Mu looked carefully and saw that the demon cat Wuchang was lying on his shoulder, licking his cheeks wildly, with an intoxicated look on his face.
Good fellow, this fat pig took advantage of him being trapped in the illusion and did this to his body?
If it were normal, Qiao Mu would probably tease this stupid cat, but now... he just looked up at Daozhen.
Seeing that the illusion was broken, Daozhen's first reaction was to fly back to distance himself.
"Why are you leaving? Don't you want to discuss the Tao with me, Daozhen?" Qiao Mu suddenly spoke.
These words seemed to be magical, causing Daozhen to pause temporarily.
"Discuss the Tao?" Daozhen asked.
"Yes, you have said so much, you have to listen to my reasoning next." Qiao Mu took a deep breath and said: "I will just say a few words-----" "The demon disintegrates!" In an instant, his blood was boiling, and he was shrouded in a thick blood light. He stepped heavily and pounced towards Daozhen. He flew in a completely straight line. Along the way, more than a dozen old trees were broken by him, and the trunks, wood chips, and fallen leaves flew across the sky like snowflakes. Debate? A dispute over reason? What's the use of this? The immortal way is the great way, and cultivating immortals is the general trend. The nine major immortal sects are numerous, powerful, tall and strong. Compared with them, the warriors are just a little firefly under the scorching sun, and they can't even see the light, but what does it matter?
Cultivation of immortals has a set of self-justifying theories about severance of love and desire, and about transcendence, which has been passed down from generation to generation of monks since ancient times.
But how?
When a criminal is sentenced by the court, he can crowdfund compensation, and after the incident is over, hundreds of people will reward him and support him. Why, if hundreds of people support him, does that mean he is right and is Dou E who was wronged?
Are you still putting aside the debate? There are so many idiots in this world. Do you really think that you can change other people's minds with just a few words?
"The principles of martial arts are all taught with fists!"
Qiao Mu's eyes were as sharp as the edge of a sword. He held the King of Qin Sword in one hand and jumped into the sky like a cannonball.
At this time, Daozhen was still driving the thousands of sub-swords scattered around the grove back. There were only dozens of sub-swords in front of him, and he was also quickly moving away.
"Eight Steps of the Heavenly Dragon!"
The figure of the tree flew across the sky like a big eagle, only to see another person in the air. At the moment when his old strength was exhausted, his toes were gently tapping on the broken trunks and branches flying in the sky.
After another eighty years of hard training, he has now reached the stage of reverse flow in the Eight Steps of the Heavenly Dragon.
He could rush up the cliff with his feet on the waterfall curtain, but now he was actually stepping on the broken tree trunk, raising his body step by step in an extremely unscientific manner, using this step by step to gain strength until he soared into the sky.
"Red Moon Blood Burning Technique·Blood Sword Technique!"
The body of King Qin in his hand turned into a giant sword of blood, but when he got close to Daozhen, the King of Qin sword in his hand was thrown away and flew out, hitting the sky like a bloody meteor, hitting him heavily.
In the midst of lightning and stone fire, dozens of flying swords in front of Daozhen quickly rotated and spread out to protect him, and the inner magic mirror flashed green light and enveloped his whole body.
Boom!
The sword array composed of dozens of flying swords in front of Daozhen twisted and collapsed almost instantly. The mirror of the Heart Demon Mirror shattered like a spider web, and the clear sound of shattering echoed in the air.
Daozhen's body was also hit hard by King Qin's head from high in the air, and he suddenly landed on the woods below.
"You...can you call it reasonable?" Daozhen's eyes widened slightly. At this time, he looked miserable, with blood flowing from all his orifices:
"Relying only on fists is too shallow."
In front of him, there was an ancient mirror with a broken mirror like a spider web suspended in front of him, emitting a clear light that flickered on and off.
Daozhen's natal magic weapon is this inner magic mirror, which is a magic weapon given by Elder Qingyi and has the ability to protect himself.
"So what if it's shallow? Just tell me, can you still argue with me now?" Qiao Mu breathed out, his body flew by like a big eagle, his feet stepped on a tree trunk, and like a sharp arrow, he pursued Daozhen who had fallen to the ground.
He was not a native of Dayan, and he believed that he was indeed not as caring about the righteousness of his family and country as the old soldier from the lonely city.
Therefore, his martial arts heart is not about righteousness, but a heart of resistance.
Things in the world are like the ups and downs of a great tide. Those who follow the tide are the tide-makers, and those who go against the tide are the corpses beneath the waves.
From the beginning to the end, Qiao Mu stood atop countless of his own corpses.
Regardless of the ups and downs of the world, he only wants to have peace of mind and be worthy of himself, and not to be distracted by the tides.
"The ripples are powerful!"
He waved his fists like the wind, and the power of his fists was like raging waves, one after another, each wave getting higher than the last.
As the fist strength gathers momentum, the surging inner strength of the Four Layers Waves surges like the ocean tide.
"Why chase the waves? Why follow the trend?" Qiao Mu's eyes were like lightning, and the dense shadows of fists continuously bombarded the crumbling ancient mirror, like surging waves submerging the rocks.
"I am the general trend!"
The roaring bloody energy completely submerged the ancient mirror, and the clear sound of the mirror breaking could be vaguely heard.
Without the obstruction of the Heart Magic Mirror, Qiao Mu's dense fists hit Daozhen's body like rain. In just a moment, his body shook like chaff with the shadow of the fist, and he flew backwards like a kite with its string broken.
"Do you understand? This is my choice." Qiao Mu exhaled and stood up with his fists closed.
The bloody energy that penetrated his body immediately subsided. At this time, he returned to calmness and his expression was indifferent:
"The Qiao family is not a shining hero. We are not that noble, and there is no need to give me a high hat."
"But to be a knight with clear thoughts and a clear conscience is more than enough."
Daozhen, who was lying dying in a pool of blood, reluctantly raised his head and looked at Qiao Mu's figure for the last time.
At the moment of his death, his memory seemed to go back to his childhood in the lonely city in the desert. At that time, he had seen many soldiers and generals of Dayan who died heroically, including his brother.
At this moment, he felt that the figures of the Qiao family and the figures of the soldiers in his memory were indistinguishable from each other and gradually overlapped.
"Such a Qiao family member... has long been a hero in the eyes of the world." Daozhen's pupils were dilated and he completely lost his breath.
Qiao Mu quietly watched Daozhen die and slowly picked up King Qin's body that fell from the air.
Looking at the two corpses, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"From the King of Qin to the Dao Dao Sect monks behind the scenes... Dao Xu Dao Zhen has come to an end, and we can go on summer vacation."
He looked up at the sky and casually rubbed the head of the tabby cat Wuchang on his shoulder.
After one hundred and sixty years of hard training in dreams, Qiao Mu actually has nothing he wants to do now. He just wants to take a breather first to get over this...
.....
At the same time, at the edge of the woods.
Wu Qiankun stood in the shadow, his eyes full of surprise and confusion:
"This Qiao family... It's okay if a super-grade martial artist with both strength and strength suddenly pops up, but what about a second one?"
"What kind of martial arts family is this?"
PS: The update time of this chapter is relatively underworld... I will adjust it again.
In the past few days, there have been old people passing away and funerals every day, and I have been woken up early every day... Mainly because I don't sleep well at ordinary times, so let's adjust it again.
Chapter 256 The power of swallowing the sky (4k
Edge of the woods.
Wu Qiankun stood in the dark and watched Qiao Mu, who was carrying King Qin's golden body in one hand, go away.
"This Qiao family actually produced two super-strength and powerful products at once... This is very unusual." Wu Qiankun said to himself:
"Super-class people are already outstanding figures in the world who have surpassed first-class people. Looking at today's Kyushu martial arts, there are not many such people. Two super-class people in one family? And their paths are very similar."
"Could it be that...it's not a coincidence that the Qiao family still has a relatively complete way to achieve excellence?"
Wu Qiankun and Wu Shengren once thought that "those who entered the Tao through martial arts" like King Qin were martial artists who had opened up a new super-class Tao, so they did not alert the Martial Arts Alliance when it rose, but just sat silently and watched its growth.
The results were disappointing.
The King of Qin who made them have expectations was a fake, and the Qiao family who had no expectations now turned out to be an unexpected surprise to them?
"What happened to these two super-class members of the Qiao family?" Wu Qiankun also murmured in his heart.
"In the martial arts world hundreds of thousands of years ago, there were martial arts such as the Dharma Absorption Technique, which could rob others of their inner strength."
"The Dharma of absorbing energy was considered a miracle a thousand years ago, but in today's martial arts world... it is actually an ancient method that has been eliminated. It is not practical and has its drawbacks."
"It's not impossible for one or two martial arts geniuses to work hard to absorb energy and develop a super-grade internal energy...but the Qiao family is not like that."
Wu Qiankun didn't figure out the reason why he came, he just watched Qiao Mu leave quietly.
The direction Qiao Mu went away was obviously towards Da Qin Fucheng, and he should be going to collect the bodies of the Qiao family members who died in the battle.
Wu Qiankun did not pursue him.
