Chapter Ninety-Six: Who solves the spring silkworm wax torch, one body and one shadow are wide and the world is wide

Tianchen Pass is built on the mountain, and the city wall winds vertically and horizontally by relying on the mountain, like several giant dragons, entrenched among the mountains near Tianchen Pass. Although most of these dragon-like walls are made of stone, they can be used for defense thanks to their steep mountains and deep canyons.

When Mu Qian came to the top of a section of the wall, the battle was basically coming to an end, and the casualties on both sides were not large, because the main target of the barbarians was these dragon-like walls. As long as these walls are occupied, it means that the gates of this Tianchen Pass are opened, and after that, the barbarians will rush in and kill with impunity.

Watching the last dozens of barbarians jump off the city wall and then retreat, Mu Qian did not have a chance to appreciate the barbarians' art of war. And the lifeforms defending on the city walls also left immediately, seizing the time to recuperate and adjust in order to deal with the next wave of attacks.

This is not the same as the war in Mu Qian's impression, there doesn't seem to be any sneak attack or strategy, but more like two groups of people gathered together and fought in a very low-level group.

"It's over so soon?" Mu Qian asked Zhang Zechen beside him.

"Well, this kind of siege will not last long, the barbarians are just a charge, and if they cannot gain a foothold on the walls, they will retreat and wait for the next charge. Zhang Zechen's expression was very solemn, although he didn't seem to be hurt in any way.

"Alas, just now the barbarians have almost completed the division of all the city walls, but the last blockade line was cut off by Lu Xiaohu and Lu Xiaofeng in advance, so we can hold this wave of attacks. The old knife said with a sigh.

"What do you mean?" asked Mu Qian.

"This is a manifestation of the paradox of the barbarian organization, and it is difficult to explain clearly. The old knife shook his head slowly.

Mu Qian didn't ask anything more, he insisted on coming here in order to have a head-on collision with the barbarians. So, he slowly sat down with his back against a section of the wall, then took out the swarthy dagger and rubbed it carefully.

The moon rises, the stars are sparse, and the clouds are thin. Such a night scene in the mountains seems even more bleak and lonely. Mu Qian just held the dagger and sat there, not thinking about anything. He really didn't need to think about anything, the wheel of fate was already rolling, he could only open his weak arms to meet it, no matter what the consequences he could only choose to bear.

And Zhang Zechen has been standing on the boulder of the city wall, his eyes fixed on the dark abyss in front of him. He had a lot of thoughts: if he slipped away now, there would still be a chance. But if he stays here, once the city is broken, then he will inevitably attract the attention of the barbarians in the subsequent slaughter of the barbarians. At that time, he will have no chance to retreat.

"For Mu Qian's stupidity, for an illusory idea, I left my life here, is it really worth it?" Zhang Zechen whispered alone, but no one could answer him.

A time passed quickly, and in the endless abyss around Tianchen Pass, there was the sound of war drums of "dong dong, dong dong", and a new wave of barbarian charges was about to begin. Mu Qian stood up with a determined expression, then took two steps forward, facing the dim abyss in front of him—in it, barbarians would jump out at any moment.

"Bang, bang......" Mu Qian could clearly hear his heartbeat. This short moment has become very long, and every second is full of dead silence and depression. Just when Mu Qian felt that everything had stopped, several black shadows jumped up from the abyss, and then rushed up like a wild bull on this majestic city wall.

Everything that had been dead and silent suddenly became vivid, and the whistling of the barbarians and the shouts of the defenders of Tianchen Pass overwhelmingly penetrated into Mu Qian's ears. Then, without warning, it turned into a sharp cry of pain.

Many of the defenders of the city were severely wounded as soon as they met the barbarians, and then let out a terrible scream. In terms of the barbarian's strong combat style, the moment you pass by, you can distinguish the winner from the loser, life and death. It's just that now the barbarians are not slaughtering, and those who have lost the ability to fight will be excluded from their view, and occupying the city walls is their goal at this moment.

Mu Qian froze, and then ignored all the noise and chaos around him. He stared at a dark shadow in front of him, then raised his dagger and rushed forward. He only wanted a head-to-head confrontation with a barbarian, and that was what he most desperately wanted at the moment.

The sound of "whew" drifted by, and when this barbarian staggered with Mu Qian, the sharp claws in his hand poked out, and with just a twist, the dagger in Mu Qian's hand flew out, and there was no trace. And Mu Qian was stumbled by this strong force, rolling and falling to the ground.

But Mu Qian didn't die, the barbarian just swept past Mu Qian, and then waved his hand casually, and then he continued to charge forward on his own, and soon fought with the other defenders.

"Roar......" Mu Qian shouted, and then got up angrily: he can still fight, he will never give in.

In a frenzied rage, Mu Qian entered a strange state, the cowardice in his body disappeared, and the potential of his body was stimulated—he became more powerful and more sensitive, but this was far from enough.

Sensing that a dark shadow was approaching behind him, Mu Qian immediately pounced forward, rolling to dodge, and then he immediately jumped up and rushed towards another barbarian who was close at hand, but chose to ignore the barbarian attacking him behind him. This is because he doesn't dare to look back at all, and the moment he turns back, his head is likely to have been separated from his neck.

At such a moment, Mu Qian actually comprehended the true meaning of the battlefield without a teacher, that is, one word: rushing. In such a chaotic battlefield, you must not be entangled with any barbarian, and only by turning yourself into an indestructible blade can you break through the barbarian's net and live.

And all the barbarians have always done this, and they will not do any more unnecessary entanglements, even if they will lose the opportunity to kill their opponents.

Mu Qian's sudden realization bought himself a little time, until Zhang Zechen rushed in front of him like lightning and blocked the simultaneous attack of three barbarians for him.

For this, Zhang Zechen paid a heavy price, and the claws of a barbarian slid through his abdomen, bringing out five lines of blood. The other barbarian's fist slammed into Zhang Zechen's head, causing him to fly upside down. Before Zhang Zechen's body could hit the ground, a third barbarian stepped over him and stepped on his chest, causing his sternum to sink into a large area.

But Mu Qian is still alive and well, he is lying on the ground and trembling at the moment. He had no idea how the three barbarians had suddenly appeared, and why they had suddenly attacked him at the same time.

And there were two chances in front of him, and he could have been killed easily, but why didn't the barbarians do it?

"Stand up, you piece of shit. Zhang Zechen shouted, and then waved his hand to knock a barbarian who pounced on him to the ground. Then, Zhang Zechen slammed down with a punch, wanting to end the life of this barbarian. But out of nowhere, a barbarian's claw suddenly appeared, and when Zhang Zechen just raised his fist, he blocked it.

Everything around him was incredible, like a crazy illusion, so Mu Qian became more and more crazy, this time he did not choose to stand up again, but rolled on the ground, and then spread his arms and pounced on the legs of a barbarian.

The barbarian didn't stop for Mu Qian, he still stepped forward, and at the same time stepped on it vigorously. "Bang", Mu Qian's head had a close contact with the hard stone ground, but fortunately his skull was strong enough not to be trampled by the barbarians.

When his head was violently concussed, Mu Qian's consciousness was already blurred, but there was still an instinctive movement in his body continuing. So, he still hugged the barbarian's legs, and then threw the barbarian to the ground like a mad dog.

"Bang, bang". After smashing his elbow down twice, Mu Qian realized that he couldn't do much damage to the barbarian, so he lowered his head and bit the barbarian's neck. This kind of touch, like biting a piece of cooked cowhide, Mu Qian's teeth encountered a great obstacle. The skin on the barbarian's neck is firm and tough, while the muscles underneath are hard and tight like plastic.

"Ah......h A trace of warm liquid flowed out, slightly bloody. Mu Qian actually drank the blood of the barbarians, which made his whole person completely fall into madness.

This barbarian is not very strong, so he gave Mu Qian such a small opportunity. But now the barbarian who was taken by surprise by Mu Qian had enough time to react, I saw him grab Mu Qian's arm with both hands, raise Mu Qian's upper body a little higher, so as to leave a little room to perform, and then the barbarian bent his knees and hit Mu Qian's stomach fiercely.

A large mouthful of blood spurted out, and Mu Qian flew out upside down like a sandbag and fell outside the city wall. The barbarian jumped to his feet, and the vulture's eyes swept over Mu Qian who was flying in mid-air. However, he didn't pay attention to Mu Qian, but turned around and rushed towards another battle group not far away.

The noise in my ears faded and the barbarians began to retreat. Mu Qian was lying on the ground like a dead dog, although he was not in danger of life, but after a short period of madness just now, he had lost his strength all over his body, his muscles were sore and unbearable, and he was unable to stand up at this moment.

The night scene is still the same, but there is a faint smell of blood in the cold mountain top air. Zhang Zechen walked in front of Mu Qian covered in blood, and then looked at Mu Qian with cold eyes:

"Now are you satisfied? This is the barbarian, the barbarian you've been longing for. ”

"I'm alive. Mu Qian said in a low voice.

"Fool, you're alive because I saved you. Look up, what has become of Lao Tzu now?" Zhang Zechen, whose wounds were still gurgling and bleeding, were extremely angry.

"How did those three barbarians suddenly appear, and why didn't I notice them at all?" Mu Qian dodged the question of Zhang Zechen saving his life, and instead asked about irrelevant matters.

"This is the organizational paradox of the barbarians, which I am more inclined to understand as a kind of insight of the individual barbarian to the overall situation, and each barbarian will appear at the most appropriate time and in the most appropriate place. Zhang Zechen said slowly.

"I suddenly decided, I can't leave your life here with you, you can do it yourself. Zhang Zechen said suddenly.

"Why? Don't you believe in miracles?" Mu Qian raised his head and asked a little stupidly.

"Haha. I believe in miracles, I've always believed in you, but I don't believe in you. Do you know why?" Zhang Zechen stared at Mu Qian and laughed:

"Because you're a fool, the kind of fool who makes me the most unbearable, who can't recognize myself, who doesn't want to admit reality. You think it's hard for someone to understand you and understand you, but the question is do you understand yourself? Do you really know what you want?" Zhang Zechen sneered, and then continued:

"Based on reality and dreams, everyone should live like this. But you can't recognize reality clearly, and you still have a fart dream? Only by basing yourself on reality can you transcend reality, you don't even have reality, what can you surpass? What can you use to surpass?" Zhang Zechen said and turned to leave, but soon he turned around and pointed a finger at Mu Qian and said:

"In addition, I can tell you responsibly: a person who really understands himself will not care if others understand him, and a person who really knows what he wants will not care if he gets these things. After speaking, Zhang Zechen really disappeared into the surrounding darkness.

Mu Qian, who was originally sitting, lay down on the ground, looking at the starry sky in front of him, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: I am indeed a fool, I have never denied this. But do you think I'm willing to be a fool? You saved me, but should I pay for my life for you now? haha......

"Idiot? Scold. Mu Qian stood up with a low self-deprecation, and then staggered towards the old knife's stone house. There, too, the corpse of a barbarian.

"The differences in ideas between intelligent beings are far more difficult to reconcile than any disputes or differences in interests. Many people tend to think they are doing a good job when they try to understand others, but in fact they are not. Those sages who can truly merge heaven and earth and integrate thousands of changes in their thoughts are only a few after all. While Mu Qian was staring at the barbarian's corpse in a daze, Lao Dao's words suddenly came into his ears, and it seemed that Lao Dao heard what Zhang Zechen said to Mu Qian.

"Ha, this is my own choice, and it has nothing to do with anyone else. Mu Qian said softly, he seemed to be very open.

"It's much harder to understand people than it is to think about it. There is too much, so silence is the hardest thing to keep, and humility is the most important. Although, actually, I'm not a humble person, haha, haha. At the end of the old knife, he put the big knife in his hand on his shoulder, and laughed proudly.

Mu Qian couldn't help laughing, he suddenly understood a little bit what aliens were, it was a very desirable form of life - not bound by mundane, not bound by things, not bound by feelings, always walking on thin ice but full of fun. All life, like everything under the sun, is full of vitality.

"By the way, we have decided to evacuate here, and at the last moment, I will be responsible for your safe evacuation to the new Tianchen Pass. The old knife said suddenly.

"What? A little person like me deserves to be like you? I can't recognize reality, but I'm not so self-aware. Mu Qian chuckled and shook his head.

"Maybe you're a small person, but I'm sure it's temporary. Actually, you inadvertently saved me and Lu Xiaohu, this matter is of great significance, haven't you understood it yet?" the boss stared at Mu Qian and said.

"You and Lu Xiaohu went out to find a new base, and then ran into the barbarians...... Oh, you're saying it's because of me, you're able to bring back information about the new base?" asked Mu Qian.

"Yes, I don't know why you jumped out to provoke those two barbarians, but you did save us. Unintentionally, your actions have had such an important impact, and the world is really impermanent. The old knife sighed.

Mu Qian suddenly felt a little funny: the four words impermanence of the world are really not simple. But before Mu Qian could say anything, the old knife continued:

"Actually, I know a secret about the barbarians, which I have never told anyone. You're going to be interested, but it might have bad consequences for you, I don't think you mind, right?"

After what Mu Qian had just experienced, his mood was slightly low at the moment, his mood was relatively stable, and he didn't show too much excitement about Lao Dao's words, but just smiled and raised his hand to make a "please" gesture, signaling Lao Dao but saying that it was okay.

"I vividly remember that when Meng Tian came to the Chaos Domain, he launched their traditional battle to challenge the Chaos Domain, and all the civilizations in the Chaos Domain were affected for a while. And Meng Tian and the Freedom Star Lord launched a great battle in space, and this earth-shattering, ghostly and howling battle finally ended with Meng Tian being slapped down from outer space by the Freedom Star Lord's palm. Lao Dao's tone was a little heavy when he talked about such a past.

"At that time, all the thirteen planets in the Chaos Region trembled together, all of them deviated from their original tracks, and the most exaggerated was the planet of the Barbarians. When Meng Tian fell from outer space, the earth's crust shook, and volcanoes, earthquakes, and tsunamis erupted for a while. And I had an encounter in such a chaotic situation that I still can't believe. ”

Mu Qian suddenly realized that what the old knife said might really be a big secret, so his expression became unconsciously solemn, and he listened quietly without saying a word.

"At that time, my vitality was okay, and I could compete with those weak barbarians, but the posture that the whole planet was about to collapse still scared me. I remember that I was on a deserted island, and the huge waves and tsunami in front of me were hundreds of meters high, like an invincible city wall, crushing not only the island, but also the whole world. ”

"I don't know how I survived, and after everything had been ruthlessly ravaged by the might of nature, I ended up on another island. The island was so big that it wasn't torn apart, it was just turned over. So, I thought I was on the surface, but I was actually at the bottom of the sea. The geology of that island was rather peculiar, so it created a strange underground world, or a world under the sea, and it was hidden from me. When the old knife told this, there was an extremely incredible, shocked expression on his face.

Mu Qian couldn't help but be infected, full of endless yearning for such magnificent changes and majestic momentum between heaven and earth, and a kind of pride that desperately wanted to stand on top of the world filled his heart.

"Sooner or later, one day, I will trample this planet under my feet. Mu Qian's voice was low and thin. He didn't say it to others, he just said it to himself.

"You've trampled this planet under your feet, otherwise where do you think you're standing at the moment?" the old knife shook his head with a smile.

"That's right, we're all people who have trampled a planet under our feet, and we should all be proud of it. Mu Qian also laughed self-deprecatingly as he spoke.

"In that world under the sea, I found the remains of many barbarians, and many stone tablets, each of which was engraved with words. The old knife said in a very heavy tone.

"The corpses of the barbarians?" Mu Qian finally became nervous.

"I was also shocked at the time, it was unthinkable. Because barbarians dispose of their corpses in many ways, they don't care what happens to them when they die. There were those who buried themselves in the earth, those who threw themselves into the water, those who fed wild beasts, those who burned to ashes, or those who left their corpses to rot, so I never thought that there would be so many barbarian corpses in one place. ”

Mu Qian listened quietly, he couldn't say anything about this kind of thing. At the moment, he can only remain silent, gather his spirit, listen carefully, not miss a word, and then think hard to find out what he needs from it.

"I didn't understand what I was across, I just wrote down the contents of the three stone tablets in front of me. I was going to get out of there, but when I finally found a way out, I found more barbarians, and all of them living savages. It was at this time that I realized that I was actually at the bottom of the sea, and the barbarians did not want to stay at the bottom of the sea, so they gathered together and stayed outside, that is, at the bottom of the island that was exposed to the sea. ”

The old knife paused, and then slowly continued:

"By chance, I had such an opportunity to fish in troubled waters. But when I found out that there were 30,000 barbarians gathered on the sea, I almost fainted. You should know what this means? Barbarians never come together except for war, and the limit of 10,000 people is a curse on this planet. But at that time, there were 30,000 barbarians in front of my eyes, and I don't think many people could understand that kind of feeling......"

"What happened later?" Mu Qian finally couldn't help but ask, under the excitement of his heart.

"Fortunately, the crustal movement did not stop at that time, and the geological activity was still violently erupting. As soon as I found so many savages, I rushed into the depths of the sea, and then desperately stayed away from the overturned island, until at last I was exhausted, and I fainted in the dark ocean at a depth of thousands of meters. ”

"Then I got my life back, but I never told anyone about it, and I even suspected at one point that it wasn't real. But I still couldn't let go in my heart, so I secretly investigated in many ways, and it took me most of my life to finally find a little clue. The old knife continued to tell his story.

Mu Qian's eyes lit up: Is this a barbarian's secret? Is this a miracle for him?

"Later, I did everything possible to decipher the words on the three stone tablets and made a bold guess about that place: it was a barbarian cemetery, which could also be said to be a place of barbarian inheritance. The old knife said slowly.

"Cemetery, land of inheritance?" Mu Qian didn't understand very well.

"Many people think that barbarians have no lineage, just as they have no writing. But I have discovered an ancient script of the barbarians, and it is on that kind of stone tablet, so how can the barbarians not have a heritage?"

"Any group civilization is the result of passing on the fire, so that civilization can develop and progress. Only those lower animals that rely entirely on instinct to hunt and survive have no inheritance, and barbarians certainly will not be lower animals. The old knife said word by word.

"What did the barbarians inherit there?" Mu Qian asked in a deep voice.

"I don't know, the inheritance of barbarians, their spiritual core should have gone beyond the scope of a certain fixed knowledge and a specific culture, so as to reach a height of consciousness continuity and ideological integration. ”

"Those three steles are not of much value, and one stele only records what a barbarian saw and heard in his life. This barbarian was a barbarian born and raised on this planet, and he had traveled many places, and before he died, he recorded these. The second stele records the love story of a barbarian: two barbarians met and fell in love, so they lived together for a long time and had children of their own. It wasn't until the child grew up and became independent that the temporary family was dissolved, and the parents and children all went their separate ways. But this barbarian was very nostalgic for that time, so he wrote something similar to a love poem or a love song on the stele. ”

"The only valuable thing is probably the third stele, which records a barbarian's own boxing technique, which is about how to make certain combinations of punches, how to exert the power of the barbarian's fist in various situations......"

"This stele is very valuable, this is a barbarian inheritance. Mu Qian couldn't help but speak.

"Well, that's what I thought at first, but the barbarians' body structure is different from other civilizations. What they can smash with their fists, what they can solve with their fists, can you?" the old knife shook his head and sighed.

"But there are more stone monuments there, aren't they?" Mu Qian's gaze was feverish: a whole new continent unfolded in front of him.

"Yes, but I haven't been back there since, because I don't dare go. At this point, I won't tell you where it is, because I don't want you to die. The old knife said.

"I need help, you know that very well. Since you've already told me so much, why can't you just a little more?" Mu Qian stared at the old knife deadly.

"You said that no one can understand you, and I happen to understand a little bit, which is why I'm telling you these things. But you didn't understand me, that's why you asked this question. The old knife said leisurely.

"Haha. If you don't want to say it, there must be your reasons, so I shouldn't ask again. I see what you mean, so be it. Mu Qian smiled, and then continued:

"Actually, you should learn to be content, and you have told me this, and I should be grateful anyway, instead of forcing you to say things that you are not willing to say. It seems that understanding others is really not an easy thing to do. It's just—" Mu Qian's words changed, and then he continued:

"I want to stay here and face my future on my own, rather than let someone else help me live. If you really understand me and really am my friend, please give me this opportunity. ”

After listening to Mu Qian's words, after hesitating for a moment, Lao Dao didn't say anything, just made a fist gesture at Mu Qian, and then turned to leave. And Mu Qian also raised his hand and clenched his fists, and whispered to the back of the old knife:

"Thank you. ”

Lao Dao's words did not actually help Mu Qian on the surface, but its potential value was immeasurable, so Mu Qian's "thank you" was completely heartfelt. Then, after Mu Qian snapped his fingers lightly, Ganymede rolled out like a ghost.
