Chapter 254: Founding a Sect
Practicing swords in the morning, meditating at noon, running in the mountains and fields in the evening, planting a circle of flowers in idleness, life is comfortable and peaceful, which belongs to Qiao Geng's daily life.
Some of the people in Wugu Village are envious, and some are scornful......
But for the truly urbane, this is the life they yearn for most.
But he was obviously unrestrained, but Qiao Geng still felt a little restrained, he tried to escape all the distractions of the world, and now he has done it, but why does he still feel unfree now? He doesn't know, and he can't figure it out......
The comfortable days went on as usual, and after another five years, a young man who wanted to be handsome came to him with a letter, Qiao Geng hadn't read the contents of the letter, he only glanced at the young man's appearance, and his eyebrows were a little similar to Li Wanwan, and he knew who sent him.
Qiao Geng didn't rush to open the letter, but asked him in a slow voice, "What's your name?"
The young man thought for a while, and said with a little sadness in his eyes: "Back to Mr. Qiao, my name is Cui Zijing, the person Mr. said ...... It was my maternal grandmother. Just before she died three days ago, she called me to come to you!".
Hearing that Li Wanwan died, Qiao Geng's heart seemed to be grabbed by something, his slightly vicissitudes of life showed a little reminiscence, and he recalled the past, and also regretted the death of this woman.
He also knew that because Wugu Village was relatively close to where she lived, she would secretly send someone to give him the money he had always paid for every day! It was only in the past five years that he had not received a ...... In the past ten days, he was still wondering why the people she sent had not appeared for a few days, it turned out that this was the reason, and it really made people sad to hear it.
"You...... Grandmother, how did she die?"
"It's not that those damned officers and soldiers from other places have been extorting and collecting taxes for no reason in the past few days! My grandmother's property has also been hid by them! My grandmother was pissed to death by them!"
Qiao Geng asked about the reason for Li Wanwan's death, but the young man was indignant, gritted his teeth and said it, as if he had a great hatred for the "officers and soldiers" in his mouth.
There will never be real peace in the world, maybe when Qiao Geng left the court ten years ago, he chose the one who was really wise and governed the country in an orderly manner, but it's a pity...... He was a blessed man, and he died after only three years as emperor, leaving a few unsuccessful sons to become puppets of several parties in the court playing with power.
And so it was a few years later...... All kinds of minor illnesses in the country have accumulated together and become a major disease, and the opposing forces in the court have finally torn their faces, and wars have been ignited one after another in various places, but it is a pity that it is the people of the world who are suffering, just like a wandering rebel army has arrived in the county where Li Wanwan is located, wantonly killing the people!
Like Cui Zijing's parents, they were killed by this group of rebels......
As soon as he said this, Cui Zijing's tone was not only the atmosphere of the rebels, but also a touch of sadness in the corners of his eyes.
He knelt down in front of Qiao Geng, kowtowed to him three times, and said with tears in the corners ......of his eyes: "In recent years, I have often heard my grandmother say that Mr. is a capable person, especially a skilled swordsman!
Qiao Geng didn't reply to him immediately, but only then did he slowly open the envelope and read it, although he and Li Wanwan had almost never corresponded, but she wrote a few words when he talked to her thirty years ago, and he firmly wrote down her notes to the present, he took a deep look, it was indeed Li Wanwan's handwriting.
There are only a dozen or so words on the letter, and it is written - please take care of me, a grandson of the outer group, you should not refuse, right?
Looking at Cui Zijing, who was still kneeling on the ground, Qiao Gengchang sighed, if he didn't have the second half of the sentence, he would really refuse Cui Zijing, but ...... Li Wanwan probably grasped his guilt for her, so he couldn't even see the refusal of this young man.
"Get up...... Qiao Geng softly told him to get up.
For Cui Zijing, maybe her grandmother just hoped that Qiao Geng could take him in, but he didn't think so, he wanted to worship under Qiao Geng, let him teach him swordsmanship, and then go to avenge his family.
So Cui Zijing turned a deaf ear to Qiao Geng's words, and continued to kneel on the ground.
With such an abrasive temper, Qiao Geng didn't like it, so he was naturally a little angry with him......
Qiao Geng's face was dull, and he said coldly to Cui Zijing: "If you want to kneel, kneel, I won't teach you anything!"
For the next three days, he practiced swords in the morning, meditated at noon, ran through the mountains and fields in the evening, and had nothing to do to take care of and plant a circle of flower beds, regardless of Cui Zijing, who was kneeling outside his door.
During this period, some villagers of Wugu Village who did not know the inside story also came to persuade Cui Zijing...... In their eyes, Qiao Geng is not doing his job all day long, where is he like a master, he really wants to learn something under him, this is really crazy!
But for the bitter words of these villagers, Cui Zijing's face gave birth to some stubbornness, and he ignored anyone without saying a word, and now everyone will really treat him as a madman.
Three days is actually not a long time, but in fact, for Cui Zijing, who is used to fine clothes and fine food, it is really three autumns a day, no less than dozens of times he wants to turn around and leave, but in order to avenge his family, he gritted his teeth and survived.
Because he didn't eat or drink, his face had long since lost blood, his eyes began to darken, and there were several more shriveled cracks on his lips......
But the more now, the stronger the stubbornness in Cui Zijing's heart becomes! He thought that he would die here if it was a big deal, and he didn't believe that Qiao Geng was really hard-hearted.
Of course, Qiao Geng is not really hard-hearted, in the early morning of the fourth day, when he got up and walked out of the house, the sky gradually became gloomy, and it was raining after a while, and it was already muddy outside, and Cui Zijing fell in the mud.
Qiao Geng couldn't let Cui Zijing continue to sleep in the muddy field, but rescued him, boiled a bowl of beef soup, and fed him before he woke up leisurely.
It's just the first thing after waking up, but he "plopped" and knelt on the ground again......
"You...... Why bother?" Qiao Gengchang sighed and said, to be honest, he didn't like people to kneel down to him at all, and then he said: "A man with a seven-foot body, were your parents born to let you kneel for people casually?"
He really didn't want to accept the boy at all, this was a burden to him, what he was asking for now was to be unrestrained, and if he rashly asked one more person to take care of him, he would fall into the previous shackles again.
Cui Zijing is also a clever ghost, and after slamming his head on the ground three times, he said, "As long as Mr. accepts me, then you are my master...... Why can't I kneel?".
"Okay, you take ten days to recuperate, and you get your body well...... I'll teach you swordsmanship again. It seemed a little helpless, Qiao Geng said leisurely.
Cui Zijing didn't care about this, but after hearing that Qiao Geng accepted him, he immediately showed gratitude!
Ten days later, Qiao Geng fulfilled his promise and really taught Cui Zijing swordsmanship, and taught him very seriously.
Just three years later, Cui Zijing said goodbye to Qiao Geng and left......
Although Cui Zijing's talent in kendo is too much worse than Qiao Geng's back then, his qualifications are not bad in general, and many things, just by teaching him slightly, he will be able to understand it thoroughly.
His departure is an end and a beginning......
After that, for another ten years, people continued to visit Qiao Geng and worship him as a teacher, learning his swordsmanship, there were a total of about 20 people! Although the number is not much, but each of these people is a famous hero in the rivers and lakes, and Yu Miaotang is also a deterrent sword army! Although Qiao Geng has never said explicitly that he had the idea of opening a sect, the world calls the swordsmanship learned under him called it vertical and horizontal swordsmanship, and called Qiao Geng's faction the vertical and horizontal sword school!
But it was Qiao Geng's first disciple who really carried this faction forward - Cui Zijing!
In the past ten years, the general trend in the world has returned from chaos to peace, and it was Cui Zijing who ended all this! Who would have thought that the young man who left at the beginning would return to Wugu Village again and become the 95th Supreme, the most honorable person in the world.
Returning to Wugu Village again, Cui Zijing followed a 100,000-strong iron horse behind him, and the sound of horses' hooves was like thunder, so frightened that the villagers cowered in the door and did not dare to come out.
But it was this man in a noble yellow robe who bent his knees in front of Qiao Geng's door and said, "Master! Zijing is back!".
Just in time for the hot summer, he knelt for three hours before a sentence came out in the thatched hut: "I don't want to see you...... You know, I like to be quiet. ”。
For more than ten years, among all the disciples Qiao Geng accepted, he thought about it carefully, he still didn't like this big disciple Cui Zijing the most, starting from him, the unrestrainedness he wanted was getting farther and farther away from him, obviously there was no longer anyone who could control his destiny, but invisibly his fate seemed to be sinking into the world step by step, and then he couldn't climb out......
For the soldiers who followed Cui Zijing, he was the Ninth Five-Year Honor, the most noble person in the world, and now such a person knelt in front of Qiao Geng, an ordinary person, this was naturally something that made them angry!
In particular, several generals jumped out and said:
"It's just a grass people, even though you used to be Your Majesty's teacher, but now Your Majesty is the Ninth Five-Year Supreme...... What form does he kneel for you?"
"I ask Your Majesty to give an order, let me and others arrest this daring man!"
"Your Majesty, please give an order!"
In the eyes of all the soldiers, Qiao Geng's performance of making Cui Zijing kneel in front of him was extremely provocative, and at that moment, the voices sounded one after another, and the sound shook the sky!
But almost at the same time, the door of Qiao Geng's room slowly opened, and he walked out slowly, the sword in his hand rose, and several rippling sword lights flew above the heads of the soldiers, and the reflection of Wugu Village was rippling with waves.
"This ...... This is a sword that can be sent out by human power! This is an immortal!" Someone saw this scene, and was speechless in horror, and after a short while, his knees couldn't stop bending and kneeling.
Countless violent sword lights finally converged into a silver river and flew over everyone's heads, and everyone was shocked and dared not speak.
It also alarmed Xiao Sanzhu and the three of them who were hiding in the shadows! Especially when Xiao Sanzhu saw this scene, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak: "This Brother Mo is going against the sky! Obviously, no one has taught him the method of cultivation, but he forcibly realized it by himself?"
Wu Mu and Murong Xiu didn't have a tacit understanding and didn't speak, it was true that what Xiao Sanzhu said was shocking, but the time for Qiao Geng, who Mo Wunian had incarnated, had passed, but he still didn't mean to get out of this world, but continued to sink in it......
Although the time required for this reincarnation spell is a hundred
It can be spent within a year, but now that the estimated time of Yijiazi has passed, both the second daughter and Xiao Sanzhu are worried about Mo Wunian.
Even Wu Mu felt a little sorry for himself and said, "I knew that I should have let him practice steadily!"
Murong Xiu thought for a while and said to her: "It's good to be steady, but time doesn't allow for him...... It will take at least a few hundred years to make steady progress, but in this period of time that he can't control, a lot of things can already happen!".
Wu Mu also understands this truth, but there is no regret in the world, for Mo Wunian's current calamity, they can't help him with anything.
"Are you going to rebel? "Retreat from me!" After decades of wind and frost, Cui Zijing faded his youthfulness early, and now there is a majesty between the emperors between his eyebrows!
In front of everyone, there was the shock of Qiao Geng's sword, and now there was Cui Zijing's shout, so they naturally calmed down quickly and knelt down with him.
"I'll wait with Your Majesty to greet Mr.!" everyone's murderous aura was especially there, but even if Qiao Geng came out, he still didn't pay attention to anyone's meaning.
However, with the trembling of the gray beard between his mouth, he finally had the meaning to talk to Cui Zijing, and he said slowly: "It's nothing more than wanting to invite me to the court as an official! This is your return to you for my repayment! But I'm very tired of this...... I just thought about it, burying my bones here for the rest of my life......."
It's just that although he said so on his lips, he was indifferent to everything in the world, but in his heart he actually had a deep sense of disgust for entering the court or not entering the court!
He always felt that he was trapped in the world and could not break free. But he thought carefully, when did he start this kind of sinking?
His thoughts shuttled back to the past, connecting all the bits and pieces like beads, and the memories of the past began to become clearer, but in the past, he did not find the answer, until his thoughts turned back to the present.
"But...... Although Master has only taught me for three years!But Zijing thinks that these three years are still worth my past ten years, and even far more than several times!" Cui Zijing said word by word, very ununderstanding why Qiao Geng would reject him!
After learning swordsmanship from here, he first took revenge, but because of the murder, he was wanted by the government, and he had no choice but to join a rebel army at will!
With these foundations, in the next few years, in the southern and northern wars, he walked step by step to today's Ninth Five-Year Supreme.
Indifferently, he understood better that if it weren't for Qiao Geng's teaching to him for three years...... He categorically would not be where he is today!
"Let's go...... I'm tired! If you want to kneel, kneel, I'm sure you won't have the patience you once had......" Qiao Geng glanced at him meaningfully, and then walked back to the room.
Coincidentally, more than ten years ago, after the dark clouds in the sky were thick, after a while, rain fell again, crackling on Cui Zijing and the people he brought.
As before, he was ready to kneel for three days in a row, but in fact he only knelt for one day before he had to turn back to the capital......
Now he is not the young man who was young back then, and this country needs him to govern!
"Master, I'll come back again!" There was no way, Cui Zijing hurriedly left a word, so he had to turn back, but Qiao Geng also understood that he left this time, and he was afraid that he would never come back!
He had also experienced the court and knew what kind of place it was...... The people inside are either devoured by power and reduced to the monsters it drives, or they are waiting to be devoured by the monsters it drives.
Wugu Village regained its calm again, but the villagers finally knew that Qiao Geng was not an ordinary person, but they had a tacit understanding to draw a line with him, and assigned half of the village to him.
There are fewer and fewer people on the side, but Qiao Geng has never been able to settle down, he is looking for a workaround, a way to enable him to detach himself from the world, and no longer sink......
Another seven years have passed, and Qiao Geng's swordsmanship has become more and more powerful, and even when it comes to power, it is really hard to imagine that he will be an ordinary mortal.
"Is he recovered? In the void, Xiao Sanzhu and the three of them were already a little hidden, and they were almost discovered by Qiao Geng.
And he found that Qiao Geng and Mo Wunian seemed to be more like two people......
And then Wu Mu's words also proved this, she said: "Her current state is indeed compared to the cultivator of the Upper Feather Transformation Realm, that is, the spiritual power condensed by the cultivation method created by herself is completely different from the method he originally cultivate......d! What is his current state?"
Because she also discovered that Qiao Geng's current body is still a mortal body, which means that he will be born, old, sick and die. In this way, there is still no detachment from the world.
After that, another three years passed, Qiao Geng no longer stayed in Wugu Village, but stepped on a flying sword and began to wander around, and even the old site of the Nine Realms Mountain he went to a few times, but he was really two people with Mo Wunian, and he couldn't remember anything.
He just sighed: "Sure enough, I'm still a frog at the bottom of a well, in fact, the world is still very big, standing tall and seeing far, but I also know how small I am!"
He sighed at the size of the world, but whenever he felt a sense of constraint!
