Chapter Eighty-Four: Enlightenment
Three days later, the clouds returned to Hengyang City.
What returned to Hengyang City earlier than Yun Void was the ending of Yun Void exhausting three Void Realms with one move, one death and two serious injuries, and even in the whole process, Yun Void didn't even pull out his sword.
In the past three days, Yun Xuan and Leng Lanqiu carried out a thorough purge of the Leng family, ninety percent of the peripheral members of the Leng family were cleaned, and most of the core members were also cleaned, and the blood flowed like a river...... That's impossible, there will always be more people in the ruling class than in the lower classes, and no matter how much they are purged, there will be no more dead soldiers than in a war.
The rumor that the Leng family had purged their eagle dogs had spread, causing the Leng family's prestige to plummet, and the surrounding forces were ready to move, especially the Xiao family, which was the closest.
However, the Saint Realm Ancestor of the Leng family was still there, so there had not been too violent collisions, but there were some small frictions on the border of the forces.
"Cloud Void, you defeated three Void Realms without even drawing your sword, is the gap between you and ordinary Void Realm already so big?" Ling Xiyue looked at Cloud Void with an incredulous expression, as if she was looking at a monster.
"What about Lan Ying?" Yun Xuan looked into the mansion and didn't see Leng Lanying's figure.
Jiang Ming teased: "It seems that you really plan to take in both sisters? A pair of sisters who are pure and jade are tainted by you alone, I really don't know how many men you want to envy." ”
Ling Xiyue grabbed Jiang Ming's ear: "Are you also envious?"
"Don't dare, don't dare, Xiyue, I was wrong, it hurts, it hurts. Jiang Ming begged for mercy again and again.
Yun Xuwan ignored the fight between the two and asked, "Where is Lan Ying?"
"These days, except for going back to her room to sleep, she is hiding in the quiet room to cultivate, and her whole person has not changed except for being silent, but this appearance is even more worrying. Ling Xiyue said.
Without saying a word, Yun Xuan walked in the direction of the ashram.
"Do you want to take a look?" Ling Xiyue was a little curious about the next development.
Jiang Ming said: "Forget it! The matter of cloud exhaustion is more complicated, a woman is very troublesome, he deals with two women at the same time, or sisters, the situation does not know how many times complicated, let's not add to the chaos." ”
"Women are troublesome, aren't they, am I troublesome too?" Ling Xiyue grinned wickedly at the corner of her mouth.
"Shigetsu I was wrong, I didn't mean it that way. Jiang Ming immediately begged for mercy.
"I find that you've become a lot more lively during this time, but it's a little less condescending than when we first met. Ling Xiyue said.
Jiang Ming said: "Yes, I feel that I am getting farther and farther away from the Immortal Dao, and those Immortal Dao relics in the scabbard are already the last connection between me and the Immortal Dao." ”
"No wonder you don't usually tell me what the treasures in your scabbard are, and you don't even use them often, unless necessary. ”
Ling Xiyue said, "Actually, you don't like the appearance of the Immortal Dao without desires, right?"
Jiang Ming nodded: "The power of the Immortal Dao is too strong, and it is not difficult to move mountains and reclaim the sea, so you need to restrain your desires to control that almost infinite power." In fact, I can understand that people with power will magnify their desires infinitely, so they need to be restrained.
However, understanding is understanding, disliking is not liking, where can you do whatever you want without desire? There is no shortcut to martial arts, and each part needs its own efforts to win it, so that you don't have to worry about getting out of control because of too strong power. ”
"If you can do whatever you want, and it doesn't go beyond the boundaries of secular morality, then the heart of martial arts can be regarded as truly tenacious!" Ling Xiyue said casually.
Everyone who has cultivated true martial arts will realize from the bottom of their hearts: The most important thing in martial arts is that tenacious will, even if it is as free as Ling Xiyue, it will never back down in some things.
"By the way, Xiyue, I found that in the past thousand years, although the disputes in various places have not stopped, the overall pattern has not changed, why has I never heard of a fixed era name under such a stable pattern?" Jiang Ming felt very strange about this.
Ling Xiyue was stunned: "Year name, is this kind of thing important?"
"This is the basis of the calendar! Although the era names of the Immortal Dao era were all set by the emperors of the mortal world, so they are often changed, but this is an important evidence for establishing the time scale! By the way, the system of the Middle Earth God Dynasty is imperial, don't they have era names?" Jiang Ming felt more and more strange.
Ling Xiyue thought for a while and said, "I really don't know what the importance of the era name is, after all, it is not easy for people in this world to live with all their might. However, the Middle-earth God Dynasty celebrates every ten years and celebrates one hundred years, I think this should be a ruler of time!"
The atmosphere suddenly became a little depressing, Jiang Ming didn't expect it to be this answer, it is not easy for people in this world to live with all their might, and it is indeed a little redundant to study superfluous things.
"The centennial celebration of the Middle-earth God Dynasty should have been held ten times!" Jiang Ming said.
"Yes, I heard that this year is the Millennium Anniversary, but Middle-earth is too far away from Dongzhou, and I don't know what the Millennium Jubilee looks like. Ling Xiyue said.
"People in the past didn't know the era name, but martial arts are destined to bring people a prosperous era, and the future human world will become the era of martial arts, and the era of martial arts needs an era name. Jiang Mingdao, "If martial arts can really become the mainstream of the human world, then the name of this martial arts will be the beginning of martial arts and will be widely spread for future generations." If the martial arts unfortunately fail, then this era name will become the history of the struggle of the martial arts, and I hope that future generations can remember this history, turn our fighting spirit out of the long river of time, and then inherit it. ”
"We will definitely do it!" Ling Xiyue said firmly.
"This is the history of a true martial artist, I hope that after the beginning of spring, it will be the beginning of a new history of martial arts, then call it the first year of martial arts!" Jiang Mingdao, "Even if it can only exist for one year, I hope it will ......"
"It won't be just a year, the true martial arts have existed for a thousand years!"
Ling Xiyue said, "A thousand years ago, after the decline of the Immortal Dao, the real Martial Dao has also fallen into darkness, the Martial Dao has gone through the most difficult years in this thousand years, and the spirit of the martial artist has been tenacious to the extreme, far from those that can be compared with the Demon Dao. ”
Speaking of this, Ling Xiyue suddenly had a different emotion, as if she had traveled through time and space, back to a thousand years ago, one by one in the dark martial artists were struggling, but never giving up.
A martial artist who is unwilling to practice the so-called god-level exercises that devour the qi and blood of others desperately spreads the true martial arts, but all they gain is ridicule, and even rejection and suppression.
Martial arts slowly faded out of people's sight, and occasionally people who practiced martial arts appeared, but they would also be regarded as outliers, and many of them gave up, merged with this era, became part of this society of the jungle, and then disappeared into everyone.
However, there are always some people who will not be defeated by darkness and difficulty, they painstakingly study martial arts, revise the martial arts classics over and over again, and then select the right people and pass them on to future generations.
I don't know how many of them have been lost, but there are always some fires that have been passed on.
Slowly, the world began to be chaotic, but there was no chaos, most people found that the so-called god-level exercises could not bring them strength, they could only make them become a stepping stone for others, so they regretted it, but it was too late, not practicing martial arts is equivalent to handing over their fate to others, and cultivation will become a stepping stone for others, and they have long forgotten their original intention to protect themselves and their families.
Against this backdrop, martial arts began to sprout, spreading seeds of hope that one day they could grow into towering trees, or at least become flames that illuminate the darkness.
Now, Martial Arts finally has a chance to recover......
Ling Xiyue looked at her hands blankly, she felt as if she was holding something, but as if she was holding nothing.
"You're enlightened. ”
Jiang Ming explained, he was also a little confused, "Martial Dao, is it also a kind of Dao?"
