Chapter Sixty-Nine: Remembering the Years
To the north of Hanoi Province is the Usi Plain, and to the north of the Usi Yuan is the Grassland Royal Garden, and after the Grassland Royal Court is the Daxue Mountain where the Morun Temple is located.
A figure came from the Great Snow Mountain, wearing a wide robe, unable to see the face clearly, and could only vaguely see from the body size that it was a woman, passing by Biluo Lake, passing by the Golden Horde's Court, all the way to the south.

Winter on the grassland this year came exceptionally early, and the snow cover of last year had not completely melted, and the first light snow of this year had already fallen, making the grassland less like a grassland and more like a snowfield that was built later.
Along the way, there is no green, only pale, herdsmen everywhere are panicked, begging for immortality, asking for Buddha, asking for the king of the grassland, only for a "way to live".
The woman stopped occasionally, but did nothing, and continued south.
After crossing the Uss Plain, crossing the Dolun River, we finally came to the small hills.
Although there is a word "ridge" in the name of the hill, it has nothing to do with the mountain, to put it bluntly, it is also a grassland, but there is a gentle slope that is not too high in the middle of it, which is conducive to the cavalry of the brigade to charge condescendingly.
The woman did not continue south, but stopped at the hillock.
On the other side, Xu Beiyou and Qin Mumian also left Hanoi Mansion, and with Zhang Wu's warrant, they easily passed through the border and went straight north to enter the grassland boundary.
The grassland is vast and thousands of miles, the two of them walk in it, incomparably small, Qin Mumian is probably in a good mood after spitting out all the things that have been hidden in her heart for many years, she is in a good mood, she carried a jasper gourd filled with wine, and drank it while walking, during which she also raised the gourd to Xu Beiyou, Xu Beiyou glanced at Aunt Qin's lips, and shook her head to signal that she would not drink.
Qin Mumian pursed his lips lightly, there was a playful smile in his eyes, and he said softly: "Nangui, my age is more than enough to be your grandmother, do you still care about this?"
Xu Beiyou glanced at the woman's face again, which was at most twenty-six or seventeen years old, and did not speak.
Qin Mumian didn't expect Xu Beiyou to say anything, and said to himself: "You were born in the first year of Chengping, and I was already at the age of knowing the destiny of heaven in the first year of Chengping, do you think you can be your grandmother?" You kid also took advantage of Gongsun Zhongmou and Han Xuan, so that you can call me Aunt Qin, but that's okay, with a young man like you, you can still make our three old women feel younger, don't look at the three of us still retain the appearance of our youth, but that heart has long been rotten, not to mention others, just say that your wife Zhang Xueyao, unstable mood, unstable heart, this is rotten terribly, Daomen said that the heart is like a rock, but no matter how hard the stone is, it can't resist the passage of time, and you, although the hair is white, but there is still a young heart, and there can be that spirit of striving for progress, that kind of vitality, the realm of all things competing, can be said to occupy the sky. β
Xu Beiyou finally spoke: "The wind and rain can't last long, everyone will get old." β
Qin Mumian nodded in agreement and said: "That's right, anyone will get old, even the immortal immortals in the sky are not eternal, and there is also the saying of the five decays of heaven and man. But then again, the so-called cultivation is actually a move against the way of heaven, the way of heaven does not allow immortality, we prefer to ask for an immortality, but unfortunately there are very few people who can seek immortality, looking at today, only Akiba is expected to live forever. β
Xu Beiyou was silent again, looking at the ancestors of the Sword Sect, except for the Shangqing Daojun who opened the sect, the rest of the ancestors failed to seek immortality no matter how high their cultivation was, even if they had already stepped into the realm of immortals, Shangguan Xianchen, they still could not escape death.
Qin Mumian hung the jasper gourd in his hand on his waist and said slowly: "Originally, Xiao Yu was also expected to live forever, but he chose another path, he once said to me in his early years, the avenue seeks a thousand years, and the time is dry; the Buddha is reincarnated in the ninth world, and it is muddy; Confucianism seeks for the world and seeks peace for all generations, but where can it be done? It is better to be the respect of a lifetime, with iron hooves, to walk all over these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and see this country and mountains picturesque." β
Xu Beiyou couldn't help but praise sincerely: "He is worthy of being the founding emperor." β
Qin Mumian said with emotion: " When I was young, I was a saint of Xuanjiao, because of discord with the elders in the sect, so I left Houjian, all the way to the Eastern Capital, and saw Xiao Yu who was still depressed at that time, at that time I didn't think what happened to him, he didn't have a status, he didn't have a status, he didn't want to cultivate, and even had a mutual killing with him on the rain street, you may not believe it, I almost killed Emperor Xiao who reigned in the world, and then turned enemies into friends, and left the Eastern Capital together, at that time I hoped that he could accompany me to Houjian, but he refused, and Lin Yinping went to the grassland together, I didn't think anything at the time, just when he didn't know how to lift, and then he climbed to the top step by step on the grassland, I didn't have much thoughtγ β
Qin Mumian sighed, " Until the change of the Eastern Capital, Shangguan Xianchen stepped on ten thousand swords to the west, and the old master of the Daomen rode the dragon down the mountain, I was also in the Eastern Capital at the time, and was blocked by a hostile Xuanjiao elder, at that time, I cultivated to be low, not an opponent, and I was about to die, Xiao Yu, who had just personally stabbed Emperor Zheng Shenzong, broke through the wall and rescued me, I suddenly realized that the man who was going to be protected by me had been able to protect me in turn, since then, I couldn't let go of him, and then I recalled that at the beginning, I was still a little unwilling, and I often wondered if I was more resolute back then, whether he would go with me to HoujianSo I couldn't let go of it more and more. β
Xu Beiyou smashed his mouth and stopped talking.
Qin Mumian smiled lightly: "If you have something to say, don't hide it." β
Xu Beiyou pondered his words and said softly: "I have always wondered, after Emperor Xiao Sword beheaded Mr. Fu, he was still able to defeat Shangguan Shizu, what kind of cultivation this is, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the first person in the world, and later he reached the top of the world, as the emperor, the power of the whole country is in his hands, and the luck of the Son of Heaven is added, how can he say that he is dead?"
Qin Mumian didn't have much sadness, and said calmly: "When he was invincible in the world, he was just thirty years old, but he only started to set foot on the path of cultivation in the year of the crown, but in ten years, he has neither the twelve swords of your Sword Sect, nor is he a great immortal, so why can he be invincible in the world in ten years? The so-called invincibility is borrowed from God, but since it is borrowed, then it must be repaid, and it is still profitable, what if you can't afford to pay it back? Then you can only die, and the person will die." β
Xu Beiyou sighed: "Exchange half of your life for half of your life." β
Qin Mumian smiled and said: "In the past, I often thought about why Xiao Yu climbed to the top step by step? Later, I figured out that he actually relied on a 'betting' word, this guy just likes to gamble, although this 'gamble' word is very unpleasant, but I can't find a more appropriate word to replace it, every step is a big gamble, that's the thing, snap it up, buy it and leave, it becomes, the king of the world, it doesn't work, everything is empty." β
"It's a pity, gambling is about capital, Xiao Yu borrowed capital from God to gamble, although he won the gamble, he also lost his life. β
