Whether it is a person in the three religions, or a martial arts sword cultivator, or a hundred schools of thought, they are all cultivators.

Cultivating and cultivating, cultivating the ability to reach the heavens, and doing the things that are happy and vengeful, is it practice? Or is it said that cultivating a high and low path is called cultivation.

There are not many cultivators in this world, they can be compared to those mortals, but they are as few as the morning star.

Why?

Is it that those mortals are unwilling to practice? Don't they want to have the ability to swim in the twilight of the North Sea? Don't want to see the scenery in the sky?

If you don't want to, you can't.

The difficulty lies in the word "entering the road".

No one in the world can clearly describe how to enter the Tao, let alone explain what it is.

The mountains and rivers are broken, the wives are scattered, the corpses are exposed, the beacon fire is wolf smoke, the sword light and sword shadow, the flesh and blood are flying, and there are monks who have entered the Tao in the troubled times.

The breeze blows, the river flows eastward, the peach and plum compete for spring, quiet and inactive, then there are Taoist priests who once entered the Tao.

The faithful are defiled by traitors, and the righteous are deceived by villains. The breeze flips through the book, and the bamboo forest is as small as the people's suffering, and there are Confucian scholars who once entered the Tao.

There is also a kind of person who draws a tiger and does not become an anti-dog, seeing that the avenue is difficult to walk, he falls into the side door, eats the essence and blood of people, absorbs the resentment of the dead, and refines the undead so that they cannot be exceeded, this is the evil cultivation.

Evil cultivators are like rats crossing the street, whether it is a person in the three sects or the most vulgar martial artist, they all look at it coldly and disdainfully. If it weren't for the seemingly nonexistent entanglement of cause and effect between heaven and earth, the people of the three religions would not have allowed this kind of evil cultivation to run rampant in the first place.

But there is one force excepted, Shushan.

Whether it is the Taoist ancestral court or other sects, the cultivation is the "way of birth", and Shushan has begun to enter the world to seek the Tao since Chen Qingshan's generation.

When encountering injustices in the world, a sword is gone.

When you encounter an evil person in the world, you will cut it with a sword.

……

……

In the middle of heavy snow.

Dressed in white, a charcoal seller walked forward silently.

The two of them seemed to have a heart in their hearts, and they were silent.

Song Qiyun's expression was firm, and decades of years had carved the once naughty teenager, making him more resolute and responsible.

Xu Qing's brows furrowed slightly, his eyes were a little confused and painful, his body was shaky, and his white clothes seemed to be about to merge with the snow in the next moment.

The direction in which the two of them are moving is the Daqing Palace!

On the wide royal road, there is a thick layer of snow and two figures, and it is difficult to see anything else.

"Poof!"

Song Qiyun walked in front of him, and suddenly a mouthful of blood spurted out.

Xu Qing hurriedly walked a few steps, and helped Song Qiyun with a complicated expression.

The hot blood fell on the quilt-like snow, which was shocking.

Xu Qing said softly: "Why are you doing this? After this trip, your cultivation is not one out of ten, and your vitality is like a flower in the rain, a candle in front of the wind......"

Song Qiyun wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, waved his hand, and continued to walk forward.

I don't know how long it took, a little Taoist priest in Tsing Yi suddenly appeared in front of the two of them, standing in the wind and snow in front of them.

The little Taoist priest is gradually approaching, and the two of them are like great enemies.

Song Qiyun's right hand slowly pressed against the sword, and Xu Qing also straightened his waist, as if there was a sea of stars surging in his eyes.

The little Taoist priest who had a full view of the movements of the two of them was not so annoyed, but said calmly: "Senior Brother Chen asked me to wait for you here. ”

Xu Qing asked, "Which Senior Brother Chen?" ”

The little Taoist priest was just about to speak, but Song Qiyun's voice trembled: "But it's called Chen Qingshan?" ”

The little Taoist priest nodded slightly.

"Has he returned to Shushan? When did he tell you to wait for us here? Song Qiyun choked up a little.

"Nope. This is what Senior Brother Chen told me 60 years ago. The little Taoist priest said.

"Sixty years ago......" Song Qiyun muttered in despair.

Once again, a glimmer of hope was dashed and sunk to the bottom of the sea.

Xu Qing sighed and said, "Why does Master want you to wait for us here?" ”

The little Taoist frowned slightly and said, "He asked me to take you on a trip and take you to the Sage Tower." ”

The little Taoist priest frowned puzzled, and said, "When did Senior Brother Chen accept two apprentices?" Still ending up in such a bleak weather? ”

"Sixty years ago." Xu Qing said.

The little Taoist priest bowed his head and was silent, thoughtful.

"We still have unresolved matters, we have to enter the palace and see Emperor Qing. Once the matter is settled, it's up to you. ”

The little Taoist priest sneered, turned his head to look at the position of the palace, "Emperor Qing......"

"Then I'll go with you."

"It can be dangerous......"

"In the whole world, the poor road only needs a sword in hand, even the big ruins can break through, and there is no place that you can't go!"

……

……

Cheng'an Gate.

In front of the three figures stood a man in an official uniform.

"Xu Daoyou, Song Daoyou, Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time." The man laughed.

Xu Qing looked at the man's official uniform, and said with the same smile: "The two of us have such a big pomp and circumstance, and you actually let you, a cabinet scholar, greet the first lord in person?" ”

The man who was called Shousuke-sama smiled slightly, noncommittal.

Lu Li looked at the little Taoist priest in Tsing Yi, his body opened slightly sideways, as if he was getting out of the way, and said, "Yang Zhangjiao will also come along." ”

Xu Qing looked at the little Taoist priest in slight surprise, and the little Taoist nodded calmly.

This little Taoist priest is actually the current head of Shushan!

The three of them followed Lu Li into the imperial city.

"Lord Lu, how did Emperor Qing know that we would come?" Xu Qing asked.

The man in the official uniform replied to the question: "Because under the whole world, it is not the king's land." ”

After Xu Qing pondered carefully, he slowly spoke: "That means that Emperor Qing knows everything in this Qingguo?" ”

"Naturally." Lu Li said.

Xu Qing was silent.

After a while, Lu Li took the three of them to a place and said, "When you arrive, Your Majesty is waiting for the two of you in the imperial study." ”

Xu Qing and Song Qiyun glanced at each other, and then pushed the door open.

In front of the eyes, there is a tall and majestic figure, wearing a golden crown and a dragon robe, sitting in front of the bookcase, correcting the folds.

The man raised his head, looked at the three people in front of him, and said with a smile: "You guys are here." ”

The two did not speak.

"Song Qiyun, I know what you want to ask, go out, Lu Li will tell you everything." The man's voice was even louder, but with unquestionable majesty.

Song Qiyun glanced at the man suspiciously, and then looked at Xu Qing.

Xu Qing nodded, and Song Qiyun pushed the door again.

"As for you, Xu Qing, what are you thinking? If I'm not mistaken, you've already stepped into the seventh realm with half a foot, and now that your Confucian cultivation is crumbling, I don't want to think about how to cross the heart and mind, cross that sea of suffering, and come to the imperial city to join in the fun? The man asked interestingly.

Xu Qing seemed to have changed into a different person, and said with a sad expression: "Emperor Qing...... The whole world is not the king's land...... Then why don't you see the people who are living in dire straits? There was a famine in the two states of Huizhou and Qizhou, starvation was everywhere, corpses were piled up, and the people were about to starve to death. Yes, that's just a few words in the history books, but have you seen it with your own eyes, Your Majesty? They eat other people's children with blood and tears, and there are even crazy people who go to grab food......"

Emperor Qing listened to Xu Qing with a calm face.

"You have fought with Da Chu several times, and when you lack troops, you will arrest men from the people, and the sixty-year-old man will also go to the battlefield, and there will be no men in the family, not even women! The grandmother didn't want her daughter to go to the battlefield, so she took the initiative to follow the officers and soldiers to leave, she knew that she would not be able to come back if she went, but she did not regret it, and she was even very happy that her daughter was still alive......"

"Click!"

A crisp voice came from Xu Qing's body.

Xu Qing's half-step cultivation in the seventh realm was gone, and he fell into the sixth realm.

"I once went to Xitu, where the monks ginseng was peeled Zen and recited the man-eating scriptures."

"They selected girls with pure hearts, peeled off their skins and made leather drums to hang in the temple......

The more Xu Qing spoke, the calmer he became.

"Little brother, this is for you."

"It's candy! Thank you big brother! ”

“……”

"I've only eaten candy once, and my sister took me to eat it before. Big brother, you're so nice. ”

"When I find my sister, will I marry him to you?"

"Where's your sister?"

"I left home in the year I can remember, and the old people in the village said that my sister had gone far away. Since it's so far, I guess it will be a long way to come back. ”

"My sister can't speak since she was a child, you are not allowed to dislike her......"

"Good ......"

One day, when the boy grew up, he sat on the hillside all day long, looking at the temple and listening to the drums coming from the temple.

"Why are you always here alone?"

"I'm listening to my sister talk to me...... I'm waiting for my sister to come home......"

Xu Qing's heart was extremely painful, his chest seemed to be hit hard by a sledgehammer, his breathing was very difficult, he looked at Emperor Qing and laughed at himself: "But I'm still too weak, I can't beat that group of monks." So I secretly picked the temple with a sword and fled. ”

"Your Majesty, why do the people eat people? Why did an old woman join the army? Why did that boy lose his sister? Can you tell me? ”

Emperor Qing still looked at Xu Qing with a calm face.

"The hawker will be bullied by the gentry, even if he is killed, it is the collusion of officials and businessmen, and the death is unknown, and no one will redress his grievances."

"The old man will be fisted and kicked by the officers and soldiers just because he doesn't like it, and she will even be robbed of her daughter, this is my Daqing soldier!?"

"Click!"

"Click!"

"Click!"

Xu Qing's expression was gloomy, blood overflowed from the corners of his mouth, and his cultivation had already fallen to the third realm.

"Since the Great Qin, the Nine Kingdoms have been disputed, and the Three Kingdoms have been determined, and it has been seven hundred years, Xu Qing, I ask you, do you know how vast my territory is in Daqing? I celebrate the fifth of the nine countries of the Spring and Autumn Period! I can't be meticulous and exhaustive. In the past 60 years, I have mobilized the power of national fortune every day to inspect every inch of my Daqing territory, and some of the things you said, I have seen some of them, and some of them have not been seen, but I can't control them. Three provinces and six ministries, a million forbidden troops, how many trivial things can be managed? ”

"I want to reproduce the prosperity of the Great Qin, destroy the Great Chu, level the Great Sui, and unify the world! Then the people will no longer suffer from war. ”

The emperor's voice was like gold and stone, and there seemed to be the sound of swords and halberds in his words.

"Click......

Xu Qing's face was like ashes, he sat down on the ground, and fell into the first realm, and since then Confucianism has completely disappeared.

The little Taoist priest in Tsing Yi stood aside, never speaking from beginning to end, but his expression was a little strange.

"Drunk with a glass of wine, you can swallow the breeze of Wuyue in the south of the Yangtze River; The sword roared loudly, which could absorb the strength of Yan Zhao Qinlong. ”

"I don't have much time left, I don't have the energy to take care of those things anymore, I want to lay a vast territory for future generations! Xu Qing, there are too many pickled things in the world, no one can control it, this is not caused by someone, but human nature......"

Xu Qing was in a trance, as if he had seen the world in his dream again.

In that world, there are no immortals, no beacon fires, no collusion between officials and businessmen, politics and harmony, strict national laws, the people are rich, everyone is happy to forget their worries, and they don't know that old age is coming......

"Let's go."

Xu Qing said a word in despair, and then walked out of the room.

The little Taoist priest in Tsing Yi followed behind.

The emperor watched Xu Qing slowly leave, and finally looked at the little Taoist priest in Tsing Yi, with a deep light in his eyes.

Song Qiyun stood under the eaves, looking at the heavy snow, and suddenly said in a hoarse voice: "Xu Qing, I don't practice swords." ”

Then he took off the sword he had "borrowed" from the Taiping Sword Shrine and threw it into the snow.

Xu Qing raised his head and looked at the back of the man in disbelief.

On this day, Xu Qing and Song Qiyun fell to the first realm one after another.
