Chapter 10: The Plague (1)

It was late at night, a man and a wolf were walking on the grassland, and the fire in the camp was fading away. China didn't look back, it followed Beiguang in silence.

The tinkling of bells echoed in the sky, bringing a touch of life to the silent night. The moon was looking down coldly at the earth, and a cloud floated in and disappeared it.

"It's me who caused you to lose your foothold, and damaged your majesty." Although China said this, it was clear from its tone that it did not have a trace of sincerity.

Beiguang smiled: "People's eyes often only believe what they see, and people's hearts often only believe what they understand, but I believe in you." I don't have to explain it to them, and they don't have to understand. ”

Chi Na said: "But we just left, it makes me feel really bad, are you afraid?" ”

Beiguang laughed and said, "What am I afraid of?" We just need to do our own thing and be worthy of our conscience. Say whatever they want, let them say. If I care about fame, I won't go out and walk around. And I'm already at home, and this is not my destination, it's the same for me to walk during the day or at night. What's more, this time the difficulty has died, and the first evil has been removed, which is a good thing. In other words, these two times are difficult for you to get rid of, you are really destined! Ha ha! ”

Idle on the road is also idle, the nagging Beiguang began to talk about some of his experiences when he was young, he said as he walked:

"When I was younger, I was arrogant. At that time, I always had the illusion that everything in this world was made for me. I see myself as the center of the world. Even arrogant belief that the Creator created all this because of me, and that everything I saw was nothing but an illusion, until reality slapped me hard. ”

"I was lost, lost, and lonely. It took a long time to find what I thought was the right path. When I was young, I felt that only when I was strong could I overcome the confusion and get rid of the loss. ”

So, I practiced hard, and more and more people knew me, and there was an endless stream of people who came to challenge me. In the beginning, I was able to defeat them easily, I never showed mercy, and the immortals I defeated were also wasters. Maybe I offended some people because of this, and they brought in a strong man and defeated me. I was wounded, chased by many people, and fled to a mountain. By chance, an old man saved me. It was also fate, I worshipped him as a teacher at that time, and he was the third master in my life. ”

"He is an unknown old man, like an ordinary person, living in seclusion in the mountains, living by collecting medicines, and he has created a five-spirited magic skill by exploring the mystery of life. I accompanied him for thirteen years before he taught me this magic skill and told me that with his magic skill, I could make me invincible in the world. ”

"I was overjoyed to finally get the magic skills. With strength, I was able to prove myself and defeat those who had humiliated me. But Master also told me that if one day you become strong and regret it, you will return to this mountain and live like me. ”

"I thought to myself, if I had strength, a fool would live like this. I want to be famous all over the world, and I want people from all over the world to know my prestige. ”

"I've always felt that Master is a weird old man, he is obviously very powerful, but he often endures the bullying of other medicine pickers, and I feel sorry for him." Beiguang smiled: "It's about the same as your mood now." But he was very calm, and I didn't understand this open-mindedness until many years later. Unfortunately, it was too late, and by that time the master and his old man were no longer there. ”

"After leaving the mountain, I didn't seek revenge on the strong man who defeated me at the beginning, because we are no longer at the same level. To humiliate him? That's not interesting at all. I want to do something more interesting, I want everyone in the world to know me, respect me, worship me, worship me as a god. ”

So I took refuge in my homeland, the nations. With my strength, I became famous in a fight, and people respected me as the god of fire. ”

"Later, I learned by chance that the strong man who defeated me at the beginning was actually instructed by a friend of mine. I was annoyed by this, and after that, I did something that I regretted for the rest of my life. And I slaughtered all the city, including the Lord's men, and a million of the army and the people, who died by my butcher's knife. ”

"Since then, I've expanded my territory. To the north, the Wei state was crushed, destroying most of the cities, causing it to split into countless small states, and until now they have not been united. The wars and turmoil in the north for nearly a hundred years have all started because of me. ”

"The monarch rewarded me heavily and gave me a fief. I got a lot of gold, silver, jewelry, power, and beautiful women. Back then, there was nothing I couldn't get as long as I wanted it. ”

"To the east, I killed the most famous warrior of the time and captured the monarch of Qi. I tortured Emperor Qi to death with cannon branding. I sat on the throne of the Qi country, high above, and gave orders to everyone. ”

"To the south, I defeated the main forces of the Jade Kingdom, killed their emperor, and forced them to change their throne. In response to my master's words - in the universe, the world is invincible! ”

"At this time, I was overwhelmed by the victory and felt that I was an omnipotent god. is so arrogant that he named himself the 'Great General of the Universe'. It's ridiculous to think about it now, every time I think about it, I get goosebumps, it's so numb. ”

"At that time, I had a new desire, I wanted to dominate the world. So, I betrayed the emperor. I lead my warriors and strike back against it. But reality beat me again. ”

"My men betrayed me. I forgot one of the most important things, that my country is also the home country of my subordinates. How could they put a butcher's knife on the neck of their loved one? ”

"This time, I was defeated. At this critical juncture, the remnants of the other three kingdoms have also joined forces with the nations, and I have rebelled against my relatives. ”

"In the last battle, I fought all the people who didn't want to betray me. I'm sorry for them. ”

Beiguang burst into tears, and continued:

"Later, I was pulled down from the altar, but I was still very strong, so strong that the big powers and kings couldn't do anything about me. I threatened to kill them all in the palace. ”

"But I didn't dare to go to see Levy at all, and I felt that I had failed his expectations. He trusted me so much, and I betrayed him. I could understand his feelings, as if my men had betrayed me. ”

"Ironically, the Emperor took the initiative to find me and gave me a reward. This incident made me feel ashamed. As a loser, a traitor, I don't have the face to ask for anything, and I refuse all the rewards. But the emperor still remembered that I had contributed to the country, and gave me a fief, which was a mountain, and the sect where my first master was located was in this mountain. ”

"I've been thinking about this mountain for thirty years. I've asked myself countless times why this is the case. I summarized the reasons, because I was betrayed by my subordinates, and I was not strong enough. But I always feel that these two reasons do not hold water. I must have gone wrong, and I don't know what was wrong. ”

"I couldn't find the answer during that time, and I was very irritable and suspicious. I knew it was wrong, so I didn't see anyone and shut myself up alone. It was the darkest time of my life. ”

"It wasn't until much later that I figured it out. At that time, I was much calmer and wanted to go outside. After leaving the mountain, I saw a peaceful world and flourished. It is a world of difference from the smoke and flames of war thirty years ago. People often have happy smiles on their faces, children play in the streets, the elderly come out to bask in the sun, and young people go out to do business and grow crops. ”

"They no longer had to worry about it, when suddenly a squad of cavalry appeared and forcibly pulled them away to join the army. You don't have to worry about not having enough to eat, and you have to be forcibly conscripted by the army for military rations. Don't worry about being woken up in the middle of the night by shouts of murder and dying. Don't worry about your loved ones who are far away on the front line. ”

"I think back to 30 years ago, when people had gloom on their faces and I was the only one smiling."

"I suddenly felt very sad."

"I recall every big war as a river of blood, and the sad expressions on people's faces when their loved ones die in the war."

"At this moment, I no longer feel like a god. I only feel like an executioner, a war criminal, a liar, a devil. At this moment, I felt not the warmth of the sun, but the cold to the bone. I've killed so many people that I feel sick to myself. ”

"Looking at people's smiles, it seems as if a string has broken in my heart, and at this moment, my heart suddenly calmed down."

"I thought I was going to do something for them to make amends for the sins I had committed."

"At that moment, I finally had an epiphany. I put aside my exploration of that question and began my new life. ”

"At this time, I heard the breath of nature for the first time, and the Fifth Spirit, which had not appeared for many years, gave me all the answers at this moment. I felt like I was in nature, and the feeling of emptiness and reality that you couldn't understand without experiencing it yourself. It's like, I own heaven and earth. Or I myself merge into heaven and earth, and we have no distinction between each other. It's hard to put into words. ”

"I went back to Master and I wanted to tell Him the good news. However, the master was dead, the master's house was demolished, and his bones were collected by other medicine farmers, and they were burned to ashes, scattered in the wind, and not even a tombstone was left. The medicine farmer told me that before Master was dying, he expected me to return, and he left me a string of five spirit beads. ”

"Later, I returned to my fiefdom, opened a sect, and created the Five Spiritual Sect. This mountain, originally called Tianzenth Mountain, was also renamed Wuling Mountain by me. I vow to carry forward the spirit of the five spirits. Unfortunately, because the Five Spirit Beads are too scarce, the authentic heirs are limited, which restricts the development of the Five Spirit Sect. ”
