On the edge of the Yangtze River, Zhang Moye bowed in front of Ren Hao's frozen corpse, and then stretched out his hand to smooth out the uneven ice ballast on his body.

It's like a whole ragged, like a temporary goodbye.

He leaned down, hugged the lazy big orange cat in his arms, and while stroking the shiny hair of this unknown creature, he said to Shen Qiu, who had a complicated face:

"There are so many things I have to tell you, so many that I can't come up with a clue after thinking about it for a long time."

"But I know what your biggest doubt is.

You want to know, why did I choose you? Why did I send such a treasure of the world as a sword jade to you when you were twelve years old? ”

Zhang Moxie tilted his head, looked at Shen Qiu, he stopped, and said:

"You also heard what I said to Ren Hao just now, I didn't lie to you. I didn't choose you, Shen Qiu, the sword jade is your thing, I'm just 'borrowing'. ”

It wasn't the first time Shen Qiu had seen Zhang Moxie.

In Suzhou, they have seen it.

That time, Zhang Moxie tempted Shen Qiu and asked him to return the sword jade to him voluntarily, but Shen Qiu refused, and since then, Zhang Moxie has never appeared, at least not in front of Shen Qiu's eyes.

But Shen Qiu has always had a feeling.

Zhang Moxie was beside him, and he was watching his every move.

This will finally give me an opportunity to ask everything clearly.

"I heard it, but I couldn't understand it."

He glanced at the frozen Ren Hao, and said directly to Zhang Moxie:

"It is rumored by the people of the rivers and lakes that you got the immortal fate in the Taihang Mountains twenty-five years ago, and some people say that you have seen a real immortal? The sword jade was given to you by that immortal? ”

"Yes."

Zhang Moxie replied very frankly:

"I've seen immortals.

It's not Penglai's group of miscellaneous people who pretend to be ghosts, it's real immortals. ”

The Demon Sect Leader closed his eyes, as if he remembered that day twenty-five years later.

The memory of that day never faded in his heart, and he whispered:

"I saw the immortals holding the treasure in their hands, falling from the sky and falling on the top of the mountain.

In a flash, the world was changed.

You can't imagine it, and I can't describe to you everything I see, but I know that immortals really exist.

Kenyu is yours, and you seem to have been sent into this world by an immortal, but something went wrong in the middle, Kenyu came early, or you arrived late. ”

Zhang Moxie chuckled, and he said:

"So, I got the fate, and the immortal allowed me to keep the sword jade for twenty years, and after twenty years, I will send the sword jade to you. I've been following you, Shen Qiu.

I've been keeping an eye on you while I'm not doing my business.

I will answer all your questions. ”

Zhang Moxie looked at Shen Qiu, and he said:

"You also have to answer a question that I've always been curious about.

I noticed a few years ago, after you returned from Taihang Mountain, it was like a different person all of a sudden. Shen Qiu, are you from our world? ”

This question made Shen Qiu hesitate for a moment.

Under Zhang Moxie's gaze, he shook his head.

He thought that Zhang Moxie would ask more.

But unexpectedly, Zhang Moxie sneered and said:

"Sure enough!

This is where the knot in your heart that you have never been able to find the martial arts!

You feel that you are not a person of this world, you feel that the changes in this world have nothing to do with you, you feel that you are out of step with this world.

I try to fit in, but there's always a sense of alienation.

Always want to stay out of things, always lazy, only move when you encounter problems, never take the initiative to find problems and solve problems, it is you who feel that you should not leave too many traces in this world.

Am I right? ”

"Not exactly."

Shen Qiu raised his head and said to Zhang Moxie:

"At first, I did think so, but then the fetters grew, and I knew I couldn't stay out of it, so I took the initiative."

"Indeed, since you have been in Suzhou, you have behaved more decently."

Zhang Mo said:

"But what if I told you that you were actually born in Yanjiao and grew up there until you were twelve years old, instead of suddenly jumping into this world?"

"Huh?"

Shen Qiu's eyes blinked.

As if sensing his doubts, Zhang Moxie said in a deep voice:

"I didn't lie to you, when you and Yanjiao were born, I felt the vibration of Jianyu in the Western Regions, and the first time you and I met, it was not when you were twelve years old.

I've been following you for a while sooner than you think.

As for the nineteenth year of Zhengding, it was the date when the twenty years of my possession of Kendama expired.

When I handed you the sword jade that day, I could see clearly that there was light shining in your eyes... Shen Qiu, you were born in this world.

They are exactly the same as me, Ren Hao, and Fan Qingqing!

You are a native of this world.

The difference between you and us is that the immortals sent you here with their own hands.

You haven't been to Yellow Springs.

I didn't drink that bowl of Meng Po soup! ”

Zhang Moxie took a step forward, he stretched out his hand, clasped Shen Qiu's chin, and swayed from side to side.

He said:

"You may have two yous in your mind, the past one and the present one, and you can't tell which one is the real you, so you let the two affect each other.

You are the same as Huang Wumiao, it is as if you have two souls in your body.

Let them entangle and merge and turn you into the nondescript you are now.

Now that the truth is revealed, don't always feel that what happens in this world has nothing to do with you, the bond between you and this world is doomed from the moment you were born.

It's much deeper than you think.

This is our home, and it's your home!

You are not an outsider.

Don't treat yourself as a guest, either.

You've grown well, but there's something missing that you need to get back quickly. If a big war is about to start, but you don't know what road you should take and what you should fight for, then you are not far from death. ”

Shen Qiu was a little stunned, he brushed away Zhang Moxie's finger and asked:

"Why didn't you tell me this early in the morning? When we first met. ”

"Because I need to make sure you have that quality."

Zhang Moxie said softly:

"What do you think Kendama is readily available?

It was a weapon, and how could I put a weapon far more dangerous than twelve in the hands of a child who had no control over it?

In case you're like my Lan'er, you're a weak person, then I'll have to find a way to take back Kendama. ”

"Oh, speaking of Zhang Lan."

Shen Qiu suddenly remembered this, he pointed to the cat in Zhang Moxie's arms, and said:

"Your son, eaten by your pet."

"Huh?"

Zhang Moxie's expression changed for a moment, a trace of astonishment flashed in his eyes, he turned around, grabbed the orange cat by the front legs, lifted it into the air, shook it vigorously, and said to the orange cat:

"Didn't we say yes? Don't eat randomly! That's my son! Spit it out! Hurry up! Shrewd! ”

"Meow~"

The orange cat didn't care about this rudeness.

It meowed slowly, as if it was talking to Zhang Moxie, and seemed to be proposing conditions.

"Okay!"

Zhang Moxie gritted his teeth, and he said to the orange cat:

"But there can only be one! I guess you don't want to be punished by the immortals, do you? ”

Hearing Zhang Moxie mention the immortals, the orange cat shrank his head very humanely.

It opened its mouth and made a guzzling gesture.

In the next moment, Zhang Lan, whose whole body was covered with strange foul-smelling mucus, was spit out entirely.

Smashed on the ground and splashed dust.

It's a pity that the playboy is in a coma.

The clothes on his body corroded and he didn't know if he was stunned by fright or knocked unconscious by some kind of force.

Seeing that Zhang Lan was unharmed except for the tragic image, Zhang Moye and Shen Qiu breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

"This cat?"

Shen Qiu asked with a strange look in his eyes.

Zhang Moxie waved his hand, and while checking Zhang Lan's safety, he said:

"It's the love of the fairy family, you can understand it as the sealed demon king.

The crack that split the Taihang Mountains was bitten out by it, and it bragged to me that the people of the Taihang Immortal Gate provoked it, so it ruined our world.

It was the immortals who re-pinched the world and punished it to the world for suffering.

I can't hear it's incredible, but I believe it, otherwise there are many things that can't be explained, but this can be said later. ”

Zhang Moxie raised his head and said to Shen Qiu:

"Let's talk about the topic just now, Kendama, this thing is the key to all problems, I must confirm that you have the potential to become the master of Kendama, so I can rest assured that I will hand it over to you."

"Then since you didn't come to take it, it means that I have that potential?"

Shen Qiu touched the sword jade on his wrist, and he said to Zhang Moxie:

"Can you explain? What does it mean to have potential? ”

"Let me ask you a question."

Zhang Moye stood up with the cat in his arms, and he said to Shen Qiu:

"You see, Shen Qiu, there are my stories everywhere in this world, it is rumored to be miraculous, I have owned Jianyu for twenty years, and all the abilities of Jianyu are open to me.

You will now, and I will. You don't know it now, and so will I. ”

He laughed and said:

"Can you guess which of all the things I've done with Kendama is the one I'm most proud of?"

"Achieving the best in the world?"

Shen Qiu said:

"I just heard you and Uncle Ren say, you said that for a long time, you have been indulging in that kind of false name that is the best in the world, and you can't extricate yourself.

I think that's probably the thing you're most proud of. ”

"Hmm... Actually, that's right. ”

Zhang Moxie frowned, and he said:

"In the 12th year of Zhengning, before I discovered the secret of Penglai, in less than ten years, I achieved the first place in the world, which is indeed the proudest thing for me.

But since that meaningless false name was shattered by the tragic reality, I have done one thing, and that thing is what I am most proud of. ”

He looked at Shen Qiu, and in the dark night, he showed a smile.

He said:

"That copy of "Jianghu Heart Method", that is the first one I created with sword and jade to gather the strengths of hundreds of schools, which belongs to my own martial arts.

Although that method is ordinary, and there is no advantage other than strong applicability, it means that I have finally found the true use of kendama.

Before that, all my martial arts were obtained by smashing the soul in the sword jade, and those martial arts were very powerful.

But those are not mine!

Before the advent of the Jianghu Mental Method, I was just imitating.

And after the advent of the mental method, I can be regarded as truly stepping out of my own martial arts.

You ask me, what qualities do I like about you?

What I fancie, Shen Qiu, is your creativity! ”

Zhang Moxie pointed to Shen Qiu's heart, and he said:

"Ever since the moment you created the 'Explosive Clothes Divine Skill' yourself, I knew that you were the true Lord of Sword and Jade, and you were more worthy of this immortal treasure than me.

What it took me twelve years to realize, you would be taught in less than a year.

Unfortunately, it was only a flash of inspiration. ”

Zhang Moxie shook his head regretfully, he patted Shen Qiu on the shoulder, and said:

"After the explosion of clothes, you will follow my old path. Shen Qiu, I look forward to you using Kenyu to create more novel and never-before-seen things.

But you're still on the same path of imitation.

Tell me, have you ever thought about creating something new? ”

Zhang Moxie looked at Shen Qiu, and he said in a serious tone:

"Have you ever thought that Kendama gave you the opportunity to try new things countless times without paying any price, is it the greatest miracle that is enough to stir up the number of lives and the world?"

"I've thought about it."

Shen Qiu replied calmly:

"I did indulge in imitation for a while, and then I realized that the imitation of copies of martial arts is only the most basic of the countless miracles of Jianyu, and I am also exploring deeper.

But I don't think imitation is a bad thing.

The first step in any learning, any progress, begins with imitation. If you want to create something out of thin air, you must have a foundation, and the process of sacrificing one's life to create it is almost impossible to replicate.

It's such a waste of time and effort.

When I learn more, when I have my own understanding of martial arts, I can create and get twice the result with half the effort. ”

"Very good, that means you've used it well."

Zhang Moxie looked at the sky and said:

"The immortal didn't choose the wrong person, and he can save me a lot of saliva, and then explain to you how to use the sword jade, then let me ask you, what do you think of those 'black sands' you saw in the sword jade?"

"Well, you asked me about that."

Shen Qiu shook his head, and he said:

"I've been thinking about it, but I don't have the answers, I think they should be something very important, but I can't find that secret."

"Those black sands..."

Zhang Moxie breathed a sigh of relief, pointed to the east, and said:

"It's Reiki!

Compressed to a pure aura.

It's what the group of crazy people in Penglai want to get the most, even if they don't hesitate to destroy the world.

The existence of those black sand aura is indeed Kendama's biggest secret... One.

They weren't there at the beginning.

You should also know that after an unexpected battle, there will be a lot of useless souls in the sword jade, especially after your martial arts reach a certain level, there will be more and more useless souls.

The way you deal with them should be the same as I did at the beginning, throwing them into the edge of the dream and making them melt into the dream, in addition to making the sword jade inspire the supernatural, some of them will turn into black sand and remain. ”

He glanced back at Shen Qiu, and said:

"The black sand in the sword jade now is the last trace of me left in the world back then. It was also in this process of continuous killing that I learned about the conspiracy of Penglai that lasted for thousands of years.

Unfortunately, I found out too late.

It was already the twelfth year of Zhengding, and there were only more than six years left before the deadline for me to hand over Kendama to you, and even after that, I used the fastest speed, but I still couldn't eliminate the disaster. ”

Zhang Moxie said in a low tone:

"Penglai's secret is the Ten Thousand Souls Array.

It's something that, if you let it go now, will completely destroy everything you love, love, and hate in the years to come.

You don't know what it is, do you?

It's okay, listen to me tell you slowly, take a deep breath, be mentally prepared, and don't be frightened. ”
