"What happened that day?"

"I don't know myself. ”

Ye Mingke's voice was slightly hoarse.

He held out his hand in the flickering firelight, staring.

Patches of fiery red stone scales emerged from his outstretched hands, as red as a brilliant burning flame.

On that day, after Ye Mingke awakened the human sword with his own blood, he fell into the sea of magma and fire. At that time, his body was almost torn apart by the human sword, and after falling into the sea of fire, except for the intense heat and pain at first, he quickly lost all consciousness.

When he opened his eyes again, he had merged with the sea of magma and fire, turning into a monster covered in red scale armor.

It was a strange feeling, he was in the sea of magma and fire, but it was like a fish in water, and he didn't even need to open his spiritual eyes to be able to perceive the sword box and the old beggar who were also caught in the sea of fire through the fluctuations of the sea of magma and fire.

What happened after that was the scene where he carried the old beggar out of the sea of magma and fire.

He raised his head and saw that although Xu Zixian and Liu Xi had already seen him come out of the sea of fire, they could not help but be surprised when they saw the scale armor on his body again.

Are there any creatures in this world that survive in the sea of magma and fire?

It seems that according to legend, only the evil spirits who were punished into the Hell of Abi were forced to live in a sea of magma and fire.

"It's not a human-emperor body. It can't even be a person. ”

Xu Zixian looked at Ye Mingke with complicated eyes, with scrutiny and faint vigilance. People are always subconsciously afraid of things that they find difficult to understand.

"I told the master from the beginning that I was not the person he was looking for, but he didn't believe it, and I didn't have any evidence to convince him at that time. Ye Mingke smiled, his smile with some bitterness.

"If you're not a human emperor, then how did you awaken the human sword?" asked Liu Xi. She looked at Ye Mingke's hand, and there was no guard in her warm eyes, but she ...... Lose.

After ten years of searching for her father and her, is it still a mirror in the end?

"It was a deal. The sword of the world is spiritual, I don't know why, it likes my blood, so I use it to make a deal with it. Including letting it release the seal for you to use that time too. The snowy night was just a coincidence, and I only found out about it recently. Ye Mingke replied.

Several people's eyes were on the heavy sword world inserted beside Liu Xi, and the black heavy sword that hid the dim fire of the broken house was only a faint shadow.

"Except in very special circumstances, this sword still can't really be used. In particular, the time that can be given to Ah Xi to use to sense martial arts will be very short. Xu Zixian frowned.

"No, I don't. I can practice on my own. Liu Xi, who was silent on the side, suddenly spoke up, and his voice was resolute.

She looked at Ye Mingke, her eyes were very serious and serious: "Don't use that method to wake up the human sword anymore, it hurts too much......"

Her eyes hidden behind her messy hair moved to Ye Mingke's chest, and the words she uttered were as childish as a child.

But her serious eyes hid fear and distress.

Ye Mingke raised his head and met her gaze, he could feel the care and kindness in those warm eyes, and his heart was slightly warm.

But he didn't say yes explicitly, just smiled at her lightly, lowered his head and changed the subject.

"The volcanic eruption that day, was it a mess that you set up under your guidance?"

He raised his head and looked at Xu Zixian and asked seriously.

Xu Zixian nodded and said, "Yes, I have surveyed the nodes of the fire veins in advance, and as long as the gunpowder is detonated at the important nodes, I can control the eruption of the volcano that is only dormant in the first place." ”

"It takes a lot of calculations and a lot of control over the laws of the volcano. What is that strange ship, why can it walk on the sea of lava and fire?" Ye Mingke asked with great interest.

"It's a fire ship, made of heat-resistant tungsten mixed iron, which I built to mine important ores by sailing into the sea of magma and fire. As for the laws of volcanoes, I have also summarized them, and even established a mathematical model, using ...... algorithms."

Xu Zixian rarely had someone to communicate with him about what he was studying, and he was also very interested in communicating with Ye Mingke in detail.

"How much gunpowder did you use in the process, and how powerful was the spell you called gunpowder? How many types are there?"

"That's not a spell, it's just a combination and use of some objects......"

After a long night, Ye Mingke moved to Xu Zixian's side, and talked carefully with Xu Zixian, and the two even broke off a branch and sketched while chatting on the ground, chatting incomparably and fascinatingly.

Ah Ru on the side injured her lifeline again on that day because she used her strange talent again, but fortunately, she was quickly stunned in that battle, and she didn't use it many times.

But in the past few days, although Liu Xi once again concocted a life-replenishing medicine for her, she still felt extremely drowsy, and soon fell asleep next to Ye Mingke.

Liu Xi also quickly slept in the firelight.

Xu Zixian and Ye Mingke still didn't feel tired, they just lowered their voices and relied more on gestures to communicate.

Xu Zixian, who had never recognized his research as having such great interest, met someone who was so interested in his research for the first time, and even admired it, the more he talked, the more excited he became.

From the specific structure of the fire-black ship, he talked about the mechanical principles, the principles of mechanics, the composition of gunpowder, the manufacture of firearms, and a discipline that he called Gewu.

Ye Mingke just listened for the most part, thinking and weighing while listening, verifying Xu Zixian's doctrine of using things, and occasionally asking two parts that he couldn't understand.

After finally listening to a complete paragraph, Ye Mingke was silent for a long time in the firelight, raised his head and asked Xu Zixian.

"What is the difference between the structure of the fire civilization and the structure of the aura civilization?"

Xu Zixian hadn't thought about this question before, and was stunned by Ye Mingke's question.

Ye Mingke didn't wait for his question and answer, but set his eyes on the fire that was burning and illuminating the dark night, and his eyes were incomparably bright.

"I think you're right. I am not the emperor of men, nor am I the savior of the world, nor am I even the real emperor of men, but your doctrine of Gewu is. It is the real thing that has the potential for the world to truly defeat the immortals. ”

"The Human Emperor is just an illusion in the world, and martial arts, not to mention the problem that martial arts have collapsed, the most important thing is that martial arts are the same as immortal dao, not everyone can cultivate and be able to enter the hall. ”

"And the root of immortal calamities is precisely because those cultivators have mastered the power and long lifespan that mortals do not have. The level of their lives has changed. And because of the difference in life levels, they no longer see themselves as the same as mortals. ”

"Those who are not of my race will have different hearts. ”

"Similarly, the moment when the martial arts become gods, they will also usher in the transformation of the life level, and the martial arts cultivators who become gods in the martial arts are nothing more than new gods. ”

Ye Mingke looked at Xu Zixian's eyes seriously, and said eloquently, these things have been thinking since the conversation he had with the old beggar a few days ago, no, even from the first time he heard Li Han talk about immortal troubles.

When Dabai told him countless stories, he taught him to see the laws and human nature behind the stories, and the mathematical thinking and deduction of blind chess taught to him by Aunt Long made him often construct various virtual models to assist his thinking when thinking about problems.

"If the Terrans want to be able to live without relying on the gods, then they must find a way for everyone to be able to wield power. And the civilization of fire in your mouth, that's it. Instead of relying on one's own cultivation, it relies on the division of labor in the group to forge and create powerful firearms that anyone can master. Only on the basis of such a system of power can it be possible to construct a relatively equal social structure. ”

"Because each individual can add strength and contribute wisdom to the group, the civilization of fire will inevitably form a social system that liberates people's thinking and initiative, and this also requires equality. ”

"On the contrary, the Reiki civilization, due to the difference in cultivation qualifications and the power of the individual, is destined to be the framework of the Reiki civilization to be exploited and suppressed layer by layer. ”

Xu Zi looked at Ye Mingke first, listening to Ye Mingke's words, the pair of glasses hidden behind the lenses were full of ecstasy and apprehension.

But Ye Mingke reached out and pressed his shoulder, looked at him with firm and trusting eyes, and said.

"The Human Emperor is just a fantasy of the human race, and the martial arts are just another immortal path, and your Gewu has the power to end this immortal calamity and change the entire world. ”

Xu Zixian's eyes lowered, and he didn't say anything all night, thinking about something until dawn.

After Ye Mingke told him his thoughts, he didn't disturb Xu Zixian's thinking, but looked at Liu Xi and Aru on the other side, and his thoughts drifted away.

He used to think that he was just a lonely soul who had lost his hometown and stayed in the world, and he was just a passerby in the world.

The old beggar once replied to him that he would eventually find his hometown, but that hometown would not be the original one.

The old beggar was right. The longer he stays on earth, the deeper the bonds remain for him.

The old beggar's prayer, Li Han's wish, Liu Xi's persistence, and Aru's destination. He is willing to give up the world, but how can he give up these people in the world he meets.

He ...... after all It's different from the boy who woke up alone in the sea of mist.

Ye Mingke smiled faintly at the firelight.

On the other side, Liu Xi, who was facing away from the firelight as if he was asleep, suddenly opened his eyes, and his pupils were incomparably bright and clear, as if he had never fallen asleep.
