Chapter Twenty-Three: The Passerby
Deliberately?
Nightfall City was stunned.
It was the first time in thirty years that she had heard such words.
"Since he is your teacher, it is impossible not to know your temperament, so if you rebel and leave Changqiu, he will not be unaware, right?"
Xia Qiu's eyes are deep, like a galaxy, and he can't see any joy, anger and sorrow, and his words are quite plain.
He was moved by the events of thirty years ago, but he was a passer-by after all, and it was impossible for him to be mired in memories like a night in the city, and his mood was violently affected.
Therefore, he only told his thoughts as a passer-by, an outsider.
"Thirty years ago, that man" would not have been unaware of the betrayal, and even more, he must have thought that he would die, so he would provoke you to leave, lest you also die in that battle. ”
Nightfall City's thoughts suddenly became confused.
This is the first time in 30 years.
Her mind was a mess, as if she had thought a lot, but she hadn't thought about anything clearly, only to feel a sourness inexplicably creeping up the bridge of her nose.
"Yes, that's him, shouldn't be unaware of the betrayal, but...... Why did he choose to jump into the trap anyway?"
Listening to the murmurs of the night city, Xia Qiu was also puzzled.
Could it be that although "that person" expected it, he still refused to believe in his heart that the two people he believed in the most would cruelly betray him?
A supreme person with the capital of killing immortals, his mind should never be like this.
Or ...... What is he tempting?"
Xia Qiu knocked on the stone table, which is not impossible.
Everyone in the world thinks that the supreme is the ultimate in cultivation, but some levels of monks know that above the transcendent realm, there are higher peaks.
Perhaps, "that person" just wants to be on the edge of life and death, enlighten and live forever, and break through the realm of transcendence?
"It's not for a breakthrough," Ye Allure City denied Xia Qiu's speculation, "At that time, he had already looked all over the world, and he had stepped into a higher realm with one foot, as long as his mind moved, he could immediately transform into an immortal." Therefore, he had no reason at all to choose this way of enlightenment. ”
Not for a breakthrough, but for what?
Could it be that "that person" is really a man of temperament?
The capital of cutting immortals, one sword breaks nine thousand nine, looking all over the world and Kyushu...... Such a person actually died on the word love in the end?
Xia Qiu was silent for a long time, always feeling that this fact was too ridiculous.
"By now, you should know the answer to the question in your mind?" Nightfall said in a hoarse voice.
Xia Qiu nodded.
It's just that if the night falls into the city...... But that's not the end of it.
"What about Qiubai, the reason why you saved Qiubai is not related to "that person"?"
Nightfall smiled noncommittally.
"Didn't you notice that there is a sword mark in the palm of Qiu Bai's left hand. ”
"He realized a year in Changqiu, and realized a sword intent, named "Changqiu", I have seen the traces carved by this sword intent, and the sword mark in Qiubai's palm, almost exactly the same. ”
Xia Qiu's pupils shrank suddenly, and she understood the meaning of Night Fall City: "Qiu Bai is the reincarnation of "that person"?"
Night Allure smiled bitterly, and asked instead of answering: "Do you believe in reincarnation?"
Xia Qiu's eyes sank.
He once enlightened in the Three Lives Pagoda, lit up his own Dao foundation, did not respect the past and the future, only respected the present world, and was confident that he would stand proudly above the reincarnation with the body of his true self, and destroy all falsehood.
So, he doesn't believe in reincarnation.
"The right to leave a thought. Nightfall smiled, but he also didn't believe in the vain thing of reincarnation.
Picking up a sycamore leaf on the ground, she stood up and said, "If the decline of your consciousness is still worsening, you must come to me." ”
Xia Qiu nodded and got up to send him off.
Watching the back of Nightfall City drift away, he took out a token, which was given by Ximenye, the Quicksand Sect.
"If it weren't for the task given by the system, I really wouldn't want to be so tired. ”
At present, the Quicksand School lacks a main output, and it also lacks a deaf and clear-sighted "team brain", both of which are not easy.
But now, he has to shoulder these two burdens on his own.
All because this is a task issued by the system.
He can choose not to accept the quest and will not be punished in any way, and in contrast, he will not receive a reward - the Super Pack.
Since the beginning of the Xia and Autumn binding system, he has only received a super gift package, and the thing placed in it is the Daogong scroll "Western Emperor Sutra".
So the reward of this mission is self-evident for the allure of summer and autumn.
He was just a passer-by in this world, destined to pass through this world, but he didn't want to leave a little bad memory when he passed by.
For example, Guo Yuheng, the ancestor of the Guo family in Cangwu Kingdom.
There is no room for sand in his eyes, so he doesn't want this thorn to get stuck in his throat for too long, so he wants to increase his combat power as soon as possible.
However, his purpose in improving his combat power was not to kill Guo Yuheng with his own hands.
A supreme who transcends the realm is never his goal.
Even Guo Yuheng is an immortal on the altar in the hearts of countless people.
"If you can do it, don't talk, but there are some things that can be solved with your mouth, why do you want to dirty my hands?"
The corners of Xia Qiu's mouth hooked up with a touch of coldness.
As long as he wants, he can solve Guo Yuheng now.
But this is not the best time.
After collecting his thoughts, Xia Qiu walked out of the tavern.
Taibai Street is a very prosperous street, in which the tavern accommodation is very comfortable, even in the entire Changqiu City, it can also be ranked in the top ten.
Therefore, this street is also often arranged to receive foreign guests.
For example, the delegations of other scholars in the Great Yan Kingdom.
There are a total of two sects in Changqiu City, one is Lingxu and one is Wanhua, but there are more than 30 sects participating in this year's competition, so Taibai Street seems to be noisy for a while.
"Xinglong Restaurant ......"
Xia Qiu looked at the name of the restaurant on the cyan token and frowned slightly.
This name, no matter how you look at it, doesn't look like a restaurant in Taibai Street, because it's too cheesy.
I have seen a restaurant, and I have walked to the end of Taibai Street, and I have not found a tavern named Xinglong in summer and autumn.
"Excuse me, are you Mr. Xia?"
Suddenly, a voice sounded behind Xia Qiu.
Xia Qiu turned around and saw a thin young man, with a dusty robe and the word "quicksand" embroidered on the cuffs.
"I am a student of the Quicksand Academy, and I came to pick up Mr. Xia on the order of Senior Ximen. ”
The young man said with a smile.
Xia Qiu glanced at the young man deeply, his eyes suddenly drifted with ice and snow, and the light of the cold cicada knife flashed, and the tip of the knife was already against the young man's throat.
"You're doing great acting, but there's one thing you're probably missing. ”
"What did I overlook?"
The voice sounded behind Xia Qiu again, and as for the seven people who Xia Qiu's knife tip reached, they had turned into a puddle of yellow sand.
