Chapter XVI. Awakening
The top of Shixue Peak.
The sky was white, Li Mu's expression was indifferent, his eyes were calm and waveless, on the snow-capped peak, he stood with his hands in his hands, and looked down at the misty mountainside below.
With a wave of his hand, heavy snow fell on the empty snowfield, covering the original formation tightly.
The wind swept the snow towards him, but it couldn't lift even a corner of his clothes.
The identity he is now crossing over is a powerful person who has lived for more than a thousand years, and he is also the sword cultivator with the strongest attack power of the same level, and the sinner of the Critical Island.
The personality of the monk is generally similar to his own spiritual root, the monk of the fire attribute spiritual root has a fiery personality, the monk of the water attribute spiritual root has a gentle personality, and the monk of the ice attribute spiritual root has a cold personality...... Cheng Yubai felt that he was like the snow in the Tianshan Mountains, the ice in the polar regions, and the cold to the bone.
"Are you awake?"
"Yes, thank you seniors for saving your life." Cheng Yubai bowed and clenched his fists, smiling, like a rare sunrise scene after the wind and snow on the top of the mountain dissipated.
"Now that you're awake, go down the mountain, this is not the place for you."
"Senior, are you scared, afraid to see me?"
Knowing that this person was not Mo Wu in the illusion, Cheng Yubai faced the side face in front of him, which was five points similar to that person, and still couldn't help but bring out a little resentment.
Li Mu turned his head, his eyes calm, "You and I have never known each other, why are you afraid to say it?"
Cheng Yubai smiled miserably, lowered his head, and said respectfully: "It's the juniors who have joined the government, and the seniors are not strange." Critical Island is facing a catastrophe of life and death, and I hope that my predecessors will help. β
Li Mu's indifferent gaze swept over his face, calm as usual.
"All things have life and death, life or death, death or life, all are creation. The red dust is three thousand feet, or greedy or killing, sad or happy, there is cause and effect. In order to absorb the fire essence of heaven and earth and suppress the Xuanyan Heavenly Fire for thousands of years, the critical island is destined to have this catastrophe, and it cannot be stopped by manpower. Even if I can save it, I won't save it, and if you beg me, it's better to ask for this heaven and earth. β
High-sounding, in the final analysis, he just doesn't want to save people, and he also said that he wants heaven and earth, if it is really useful, those old men would have set up an altar to worship the sky, and after finishing the work, where to use him to break into this Longtan tiger's den?
Cheng Yubai thought of this and sneered: "Heaven is the most public." The avenue is fifty, the sky is forty-nine, the avenue is missing one, and there are infinite changes, but there is a glimmer of life. The younger generation can come here, it is a glimmer of life left by the Heavenly Dao, the predecessors should really be so hard-hearted, sit back and watch the lives of millions of people on the island die, and not enter the five elements after death? This evil fruit, the predecessors can afford it, and they are not afraid that when they cross the catastrophe in the future, the karmic fire will burn the soul and attract the purple thunder of the Nine Heavens?"
The higher the cultivation, the stricter the requirements for the state of mind, and the closer to that step, the greater the flaws in the state of mind will be, unless it is an evil cultivator, taking the wrong path, and I don't care about these. Cheng Yubai's words are not undamning for any cultivator.
Li Mu frowned and snorted coldly, "You little baby, it's unreasonable, you're not old, your temper is not small, and you don't have a good word in your mouth." I've been cultivating here for a thousand years, and if you break here, break my rules, and destroy my cultivation, it's a heinous crime if I don't save me, so you're not afraid that instead of saving people, I'm going to kill people in a fit of anger? β
Cheng Yubai met his gaze, did not dodge or dodge, just quietly clenched the sword in his hand, looked directly at Li Mu and said: "If the predecessor was really the one who likes to kill, he would not have saved me before."
Li Mu stared at him for a while, and gently hooked the corners of his lips, as if he was happy and sarcastic: "Courage is commendable."
Unfortunately, the agitation method was used in the wrong place.
"You're wrong, I'm the one you call innocent, and I almost wiped out the entire Critical Island a thousand years ago."
Cheng Yubai was stunned when he heard this, and when he raised his eyes, the other party's gaze was low, and he couldn't see his expression clearly, so he asked solemnly: "Dare to ask if you are the Canghan Sword Immortal of [A Sword Cold Light Moves Kyushu, and the Sword Qi Slashes Yama Horizontally]?"
"Oh? It's all the old emperor's calendar, but I didn't expect anyone to remember. Li Mu raised his eyebrows, a little more fireworks, and looked at the immature face in front of him, but pretending to be an old child. Although he knew the true age of the man's soul, it seemed to him to be fine, but it looked lovely.
"Then do you know that the Xuanyan Heavenly Fire was originally my natal flame, and those shameless old guys not only borrowed the fire and did not pay it back, but said that it was the treasure of the sect. I beat the small one, and then the old one, and finally forced me to blow myself up. The remnant soul is divided into two, one part is hidden with a jade pendant, and it is left outside, and the other part is sent to the natal spirit sword and buried in the mountain, and this mountain has also been set up with a large array of eight yin soul locks...... Although Shixue Peak is covered with snow all year round, there is actually an active volcano under the thick snow, and the bottom is full of flowing lava, which should be as hot as the sun, but it is as cold as winter, and it is full of the power of the formation, changing the heaven and the earth, and changing the yin and yang. It can be said that as long as this array existed, I was trapped and tortured for as long as I was. β
I'm not afraid of burning the wrong incense, I'm afraid of worshipping the wrong temple, Cheng Yubai's mouth is astringent, and he can't complain in his heart, senior brother, you can hurt me this time!!
Cheng Yubai looked embarrassed: "This ...... The younger generation doesn't know ......"
"So, you still think I should save them?"
Cheng Yubai shook his head honestly, then reacted again, and nodded hesitantly, "From the perspective of my predecessors, of course it shouldn't, but from my point of view, it should." There are my masters, my elder brothers, and the Ah Hua I raised, and there are not many people in this world who really treat me, so I cherish each one of them. Although other people always bully me, they will give porridge and charity in the famine year, they will educate the people to practice benevolence and righteousness, and they will also kill demons and demons to ensure the safety of the party. Albeit...... Although there are some scum in the sect, there are more good monks in general. β
Li Mu glanced at Cheng Yubai, his face was as usual, still in a gentle tone, and said slowly: "That's as it should be." The greater the power, the greater the responsibility on the shoulders. Monks cultivate the Tao, fight with the sky, fight with the earth, and more often fight with people. What to spell? While fighting talent, family background, and diligence, we must also fight luck and fortune. People are watching the sky, this is not an empty word, karma, there is. The merit on the body is deep, the blessing is thick, and when the tribulation is crossed, it will be easier, and the thunder will be less split. But there is another saying, the greater the power, the greater the harm, which is talking about those monk scum. Mortals who commit adultery and commit crimes can harm people's lives at most, but monks who do their own selfish actions will drain their souls and punish the nine tribes. In this way, it is better to extinguish it cleanly. β
Cheng Yubai looked at his calm expression, and his heart burst into flames, "Didn't the seniors think that it was too extreme to overturn a boatload of people with a stick?" Although the ancestor has a grudge with you, but after all, it was thousands of years ago, and now that the ancestor has passed away, can't you open the net, let go of the grudges, and save people? β
"Right and wrong have people's hearts, good and evil ask the king of Hades, this sentence is empty. There must be pity for hateful people, and there is not much problem with this sentence itself, but many self-proclaimed smart people in the world like to put on a posture that everyone is drunk and sober, and only talk about the pitiful places, and deliberately skip the hateful places. Some people simply abuse compassion and compassion, and the "hatefulness" is not inflicted on themselves, so they do not have so much pain, but instead point fingers at others and ask others to be tolerant. How to repay virtue with virtue? I only believe in repaying grievances with straightforwardness and repaying virtue with virtue. β
Cheng Yu's face was red, he opened his mouth, but he couldn't speak, he was stunned for a long time, and suddenly took a few steps forward, opened his arms and wanted to hug him, but he was empty.
After a few more attempts, he found that it was in vain, so he hung his head dejectedly and sat beside Li Mu with self-abandonment.
Li Mu looked down at the little boy sitting on the snow cliff dangling his feet, and asked suspiciously, "What are you doing here?"
I feel that you lack love, and I want to give you some warmth, to see if I can melt your iron heart, of course Cheng Yubai didn't dare to say this, but said, "I want to hug my thighs and see if my predecessors will change their minds because of this." If my predecessors don't agree, I'll die if I go down the mountain, so it's better to stay at the top of the mountain and live a few more days. β
"You have my soul jade on you, although I don't know where you got it from, but it has my soul mark on it, it won't embarrass you, you can leave the Critical Island alone, why stay and be buried?"
Cheng Yubai raised his head and glanced at him with disdain, "What's the meaning of walking in the world alone, no matter how high your cultivation is, no matter how long you live, you are not a walking corpse?" What's more, now my cultivation is not high, I haven't learned home, I'm afraid that I won't even have a corpse collector by then, it is better to die on this mountain, at least I don't have to worry about being pecked by vultures, gnawed by wild dogs, swallowed by wild beasts, and my flesh will not rot and stink. The scenery here is good, looking at the wind and snow in the sky, and the seniors are with you, which is very good. β
Li Mu smiled dumbly, sat side by side with him, squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, his sight seemed to penetrate the sky, shook his head and sighed: "The avenue is alone, in order to prove oneself, who is not fighting with the sky?" It's good that you've only lived for a few years, and you think about the aftermath all the time? There is no youthful spirit at all. It is naturally good to be alive, but ants are still greedy. Let's go, there are some roads that you don't know how beautiful they are if you don't go down. β
Cheng Yubai just took a few steps, suddenly paused, and looked back at Li Mu, who was sitting in place and looking into the distance: "Aren't the seniors together?"
"I can't leave."
Cheng Yubai's eyes showed a look of worry, and he hesitated and didn't move. "But that Xuanyan Heavenly Fire will be here soon."
"You're worried about what I'm going to do, go ahead, I can't leave, but it won't hurt me."
Cheng Yubai asked hesitantly, "Is there really no way?"
"Yes, but you can't."
Cheng Yubai's eyes were firm, and he retorted: "If you don't try, how can you know if you can do it?"
Li Mu was stunned for a moment: "You are so kind to strangers?" You can't have the heart of harming people, you can't have the heart of guarding against people, if you meet someone with bad intentions, I'm afraid that you will already die without a corpse. β
Cheng Yubai's eyes were clear, and he shook his head and said, "Seniors don't look like bad people."
"It's because I haven't been in the WTO for many years, and I don't know the world, could it be that the bad guys now will engrave the word "bad guy" on their faces? Li Mu shook his head and smiled, like a flash in the pan.
Li Mu made a joke, and then said seriously, "You really think about it?" β
Cheng Yubai nodded.
"My natal spirit sword was buried in the Yan Cave in the belly of Shixuefeng Mountain, where it is rumored to be produced by a real dragon spewing a breath of dragon breath, and that group of people wanted to use this to dissipate the sword intent, melt the sword, and erase the remnant soul that I had placed on it, which was really naΓ―ve and ridiculous.
How easily can my sword succumb?
It's just that there is a natural restraint on souls and the like inside, and I can't get close, but it's still okay to send someone over, and the soul jade on your body is printed on the sword, and its resistance to you will be weakened a lot, and it will come out with you.
You need to be careful not to touch the fire ghosts inside......."
