Chapter 69: Step by Step
When two completely different scenes, destruction and rebirth, appear in one person at the same time, this tragic scene is enough to make many people can't bear to even look at it.
Suddenly, the door of the arsenal, which had been firmly closed, suddenly opened outward, and the pattern outlined above also separated, and the old man who had never seemed to have taken a step out of the arsenal since the establishment of the Zhenwu Division appeared on the covered bridge connecting the entrance of the arsenal and the Chang'an Division in an instant.
In front of him, that is, at the end of this covered bridge, there was a middle-aged man dressed in a Shu brocade green robe, born with two very conspicuous white long eyebrows, he was just standing there, and the surrounding space appeared ripples like ripples, he seemed to be a water dragon that had strayed into the mountains and wilderness, and everything around him seemed incompatible, but even if there was the power of heaven and earth, it could not invade him in the slightest.
This is a peak martial artist who has really stood on top of the Nine Pins and Eighteen Realms, in the eyes of ordinary people, he seems to be not much different from the immortal gods in the sky, destroying the city with one punch, for him, it is not a difficult matter, moving mountains and reclaiming the sea, suppressing the ten directions, and he can get away with the world.
However, in the face of the old man, he took the initiative to hug his fist, and then bowed respectfully.
"The fifth military governor of the Wusi of Chang'an Town, Bai Jingque, has seen Yuan's seniors, may the seniors, Wuyun Longchang!"
Yuan Lao, who is not tall, has his hands behind his back, and his waist and back are straight, like a spear facing the sky.
Different from the ripples around Bai Jingque's body, he stood in place, and there was no sense of incompatibility with the surrounding space, at first glance, it seemed that he was just an ordinary old man, at most the spirit was better than ordinary people, but between his gestures, he was in harmony with heaven and earth, and with the Tao, naturally, it was like nature.
Almost Tao, so natural.
"Wuyun Longchang?"
When Yuan Lao heard this, he felt very interesting, because he had done three things in his life, each of which made this originally vivid river and lake boring, not only the warriors in the world, but even those in the heavens should hate him very much.
"If there is really a martial spirit in heaven and earth, then the first one should hate me and hate me, not to mention that I am just an incarnation, and martial arts are meaningless to me. ”
Although Bai Jingque is the military governor of the Wusi of Chang'an Town, he is not only high, but also powerful, but even he has only learned a small part of the past of this old Yuan senior, who has existed here since the establishment of the arsenal of Chang'an Division.
It seems that the existence of Yuan's predecessors was deliberately erased as early as the beginning of the establishment of the Daluo Dynasty, and according to Bai Jingque's speculation, that person is very likely to be His Majesty Emperor Taizu of Daluo, and it is precisely because His Majesty Emperor Taizu did it himself, so even people who are in the same era as him are secretive about his existence, until one hundred and fifty years later, no one remembers who he is and what he has done.
All the great things that are worth remembering are actually small in the face of time, and Bai Jingque himself often thinks that hundreds of years later, the vicissitudes of life, I am afraid that no one will remember that the martial arts division of Chang'an Town once had such a military governor as him, no, it should be said that whether the martial arts division of Chang'an Town will still exist at that time is a question.
He didn't dwell too much on these things about Chen Guzi's rotten sesame seeds, after all, even if those things were early, they were all one hundred and fifty years ago, so what's the point of asking, he looked at Li Qingchen, who had completely turned into a bloody man on the covered bridge, and asked with interest: "Senior, is it him?"
Yuan Lao seemed to be a little disappointed, and said lightly: "Yes and no." ”
After saying that, he turned his head and said to Bai Jingque, a junior in a very meaningful tone: "The reason why 'I' is still in the world is just to settle the cause and effect of the year, as for other things, I will not interfere or care, and you don't have to test again." ”
Bai was shocked to hear this, although his face remained unchanged, but his heart was suddenly overturned, with his cultivation, at this moment he was a little unable to control his own strength, one by one can no longer be called true qi, but like a living thing, the scarlet liquid between the virtual and the real leaked out, and a large splash suddenly exploded in the pool around the bridge that was the size of a lake, and it fell down with a splash, and there seemed to be a behemoth under it that was alarmed, and the terrifying shadow swam back and forth, as if it was about to poke its head out.
Seeing this, Yuan Lao frowned slightly, he didn't want the outside world to know about this matter, so he had to stretch out his hand and press it lightly downward, and at that moment, it was like a god and a man slapped it down, and the entire water surface instantly regained silence, and Bai Jingque also woke up all of a sudden, and then quickly reined in his breath, for the thing under the arsenal, even he felt frightened, fortunately, he was not very interested in completely mastering the martial arts of Chang'an Town.
After Yuan Lao glanced at him, he still couldn't hold back after all, and said: "Since you have entered a broader world, then your eyes should no longer be the same as before, just look at the present, but if you are separated, you will always meet in another way." ”
Bai Jingque gritted his teeth, and the two snow-white long eyebrows flew up all of a sudden, which suddenly set off him more and more elegantly, but the tone of his speech was completely opposite to his own temperament.
"For you, Yuan's seniors, it may be the same, but for the younger generations, it's different, I only want this life, not the next life. ”
At this point, Yuan Laoben, who had already seen the vicissitudes of life early and had no sense of freshness in the world, didn't want to say more, but probably because he was about to leave, so he still said one more word.
"What you sow, you reap. ”
Bai Jingque's eyes were firm, and he retorted coldly: "We are martial artists, and we never believe in cause and effect. ”
After that, he clenched his fists, bowed his head slightly, and left directly.
Words are not speculative, half a sentence is too much, not to mention that after reaching their realm, every word and deed is in line with their own avenue and heart, and some words are too lazy to say, and there is no need to say them, because if anyone who has cultivated to this level, who will be easily influenced and changed by a sentence or two from outsiders?
Yuan Lao didn't stop the other party, even if he could do it easily, but as he said, he was just an incarnation of the body cut out in order to end the cause and effect of the year, what happened in the world, what did it do to him?
All he really cared about was the young man in front of him.
Looking at Li Qingchen, who was covered in rags and ragged on his body, his skin was already covered with a thick layer of blood scabs, gradually, as he continued to advance, the speed of healing of the wounds in his body began to be unable to keep up with the speed of rupture, in other words, if he relied on his will alone, he had already reached the end and could not move forward any further.
This is normal, no matter how strong an ant's will is, can it move an immeasurable mountain?
You don't have to work hard to succeed, that's the truest reality.
However, Li Qingchen looked unaware at the moment, only to see him gritting his teeth, raising his foot slightly again, and taking a step forward, the moment he landed, the wound on his body collapsed again, not only that, but he even had bitten the teeth in his mouth, at this moment, he had really reached the limit.
Standing in place, he originally wanted to continue to move forward, but he suddenly knelt down weakly, his knees slammed heavily on the bridge, and his kneecaps instantly shattered into slag, mixed with the flesh and blood outside, unable to support him to stand up again, not only that, but his whole body was pressed down by this sudden increase in terrible power, but he forcibly supported his body with both hands, his five fingers were like hooks, and he clasped the ground tightly, trying to raise his head.
"Not enough. ”
With a finger of Yuan Lao's hand, the force pressed on him directly doubled, and this time Li Qingchen even broke and shattered the elbow that supported his body, like a puddle of mud, completely relying on a little bone in his arm to still hold on.
"It's still not enough. ”
Yuan Lao pointed again, this time Li Qingchen was pressed to the ground entirely, not only could he not even move, but it was visible to the naked eye as if something was constantly squeezing him, making his face begin to deform.
It seems like we've really reached the limit.
Li Qingchen, who had successfully escaped from the Sword Divine Domain and had once again tempered his divine soul will, thought so.
He only feels so tired now, not only mentally, but also physically.
Because of the excessive use of his own God-given martial arts ability, he has already become exhausted, and his body does not hurt, but he has no sense, because the bones in his body have been crushed by the huge force on his back, and ordinary people have long since died, that is, a martial artist with extremely tenacious vitality like him, can continue to live, but he is even reluctant to breathe now.
Are you going to die?
He opened his eyelids with all his might, looked at the distance of only three steps in front of him, and sighed helplessly in his heart.
Maybe it was the best choice to survive by eating human flesh and leave the cave that had collapsed by Wei Tuo, and stay on the grassland and be an ordinary herdsman.
No, it should be said that it is best not to resist at the beginning and die directly in the cave.
Tired.
Tired.
It's so tiring.
He slowly closed his eyes, and at the same time exhaled the breath he had been holding, and then said silently in his heart, "I'll let it go。。。。。。 ”
It's just that before his idea of wanting to give up really came out, Yuan Lao's mouth didn't move, but a voice sounded in his heart like a Hong Zhong Da Lu.
"Take one more step, I will tell you what the truth is that you have been pursuing, take the second step, I will give you the true scripture of the heavenly products, take the third step, walk in front of me, and I will give you a great opportunity that even the gods are jealous of!"
