Chapter 475
Chapter 475
"If we go further, we will cross the border of Zhongzhou and we will soon reach Nanzhou."
Dozens of travelers, holding bamboo sticks in their hands and carrying heavy luggage on their backs, climbed up a small dirt hill in front of them, and happened to see a boundary monument standing in front of them.
The word "Nanzhou" is written on it.
"We finally arrived in Nanzhou." The travelers wiped away their sweat unconsciously and put down their heavy luggage against the boundary monument, but they couldn't help but smile with relief on their faces.
They are from Zhongzhou.
Half a month ago, after hearing that Nanzhou Xuantian Sect had been destroyed and that Nanzhou had become a place without immortal gates or Taoist temples, some people from Zhongzhou embarked on the journey.
This is naturally not a journey, but a move south.
People have been migrating southward since ancient times. The reason is naturally to avoid war, famine, harsh government and heavy taxes... and other heavy burdens that weigh on them.
Dao Dao Sect's belief in incense is naturally one of them... Of course, not everyone is aware of this. Even today, there are still many believers who enjoy it and live in the paradise woven by Dao Dao Sect.
And their group of travelers who migrated south did not gather together to migrate together, but came from different regions in Zhongzhou and traveled together on the road.
At first, there were only one or two people, but as they walked, the number of people suddenly increased.
When we reached the Nanzhou boundary monument, there were already dozens of people there, like a small brigade.
"We'll be in Nanzhou soon, try harder." Some people cheered up and worked hard.
"Why try harder? This world is pretty much the same everywhere, there is no place that is not watched by an immortal..." There was also a woman with a long tongue who complained, but her steps were not slow.
"Of course that's where the Qiao family is." Someone whispered.
The person who had just complained suddenly fell silent.
People in Zhongzhou are no strangers to the world-famous Qiao family.
The footprints of the Qiao family have also spread all over Zhongzhou.
There are some in the imperial capital, in Xi'an Pass, in the Baili Desert, and in the Daqin Mansion newly established by Emperor Yonghe.
Their stories, words and deeds have long been spread across the land of Zhongzhou as told by storytellers and word of mouth among the general public.
The Qiao family members who died in the battle one by one have already accumulated an intangible and elusive force in the hearts of these civilians.
This is the fire that is gradually burning on the pile of corpses, getting bigger and bigger.
"Not just the Qiao family, but also the three hundred veterans of the desert."
The speaker was a thin old man with a skinny and upright figure.
He came from that lonely city in the Baili Desert, and was one of the old civilians in the city.
After the Qiao family left the desert with their old soldiers and the women, children and disabled people in the city, these civilians went to their own places, and some went to nearby cities and villages.
The thin old man went to the newly established Da Qin Mansion and was rescued once again by the Qiao family. Fortunately, he escaped with his life from the Da Qin Mansion.
The person who complained just now completely shut up and just stayed silent in the corner of the crowd.
These dozens of people rested temporarily on the hilltop where the boundary monument is located to recover their strength.
At this time, there is a gentle breeze blowing, and the coolness on the face makes people feel happy.
As the breeze blows across the earth, there are also shadows of clouds.
The clouds in the sky have different shapes, and the shadows falling on the ground have very unique shapes. Some are like long streamlined shuttles, and some are soaring like dragons and phoenixes.
Different shadows covered the ground, covering the Nanzhou boundary monument and the people who were resting in the cool air at the boundary monument.
Look up.
But what I saw were clouds of different shapes...
But in the sky, there are huge sky boats traveling on the clouds. Some are soaring like dragons and phoenixes, some are like long shuttles piercing the sky, and some are golden palaces with multiple heads and double wings flying horse-drawn carriages. They have different shapes.
But the same thing is that all of them are rich in treasure light, floating in the air of immortality, and each has its own divine power. Although it is daytime, it is as bright as the stars, making the sun temporarily eclipse.
"A group of... immortals are parading around during the day!"
The traveler who was complaining just now couldn't help but marvel. His knees couldn't help but feel weak and his body had lost some strength.
In their eyes, the scene of this group of immortals parading was like a myth coming to life, and they were extremely shocked.
"The direction of this group of immortals' parade is... to the south." The thin old man said in a daze.
Unlike other travelers from Zhongzhou, he was born in an isolated city in the desert and had no sense of awe for the immortals of the Dao Dao Sect. At this moment, he was just worried.
"As expected...as expected, there is no paradise in this world. It's all under the gaze of the immortals..."
"It's all temporary... No one can bear it..."
Discussions gradually started among the crowd.
.............................
above.
On top of a golden palace pulled by eight winged flying horses.
The leader of the Dao Dao Sect sat cross-legged in the palace, but the reactions of the civilians below were reflected in his spiritual sense.
"Mortals are foolish and reckless, and they just rely on their temperament to travel across mountains and ridges. However, as long as my sect uses a little trick, even if it just shows its face, these mortals will be shaken again."
The headmaster of Dao Dao Sect was quite satisfied with what he heard.
This is actually their intention.
The Nine Heavens Immortal Sect came together this time and did not hide anything.
How can the majestic Nine Heavens Immortal Sect need to be secretive when dealing with some mortals? What they are playing is just above board, and they come with the power of grandeur!
Of course, there is a reason for this.
As many as three immortal sects have been destroyed because of the Qiao family.
Although Dao Dao Sect knows that they are fundamentally different from the Xuantian Sect, Blood Lotus Sect, and Yunxiao Sect that have been destroyed.
But on the surface, the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect is on an equal footing, and this is even more so in the eyes of mortals.
So the three immortal sects were destroyed in the hands of the Qiao family. If we round up, the Qiao family can compete with the remaining five and six immortal sects. Maybe it will be 40 or 60?
The actions of the Dao Dao Sect Headmaster were to break the illusions of mortals and re-establish the authority of the Immortal Sect.
"The sense of resistance of mortals is not conducive to the belief in Incense; if they are led astray by the Qiao family, they think that as long as they practice martial arts hard, they can compete with the immortal cultivators, or if they have the power of resistance, they can hope to defeat the immortals with force... ."
"Once this knowledge and consensus is broken, there will be some trouble if you want to rebuild it."
The headmaster of the Dao Dao Sect lowered his eyelids.
It is actually quite difficult to reshape the consensus that cultivators are supreme and cannot resist.
If this generation does not believe in evil, then they will be killed. When the next generation of believers grows up, they will naturally become devout believers.
Of course, there is a prerequisite for this.
In other words, we must kill all the Qiao family members who have faintly formed a rebellion against the general trend!
"I am going to Nanzhou to completely end this human disaster." The headmaster of Dao Dao Sect whispered:
"No matter who is behind this mysterious Qiao family... they can't stop them from dying!"
Just when he had just thought about it, a jade talisman in his sleeve began to flicker.
"The Qiao family destroyed a Zhongzhou Taoist temple?"
The headmaster of the Dao Dao Sect frowned.
"It seems that you heard the news and knew that your death was approaching. Are you still fighting like a trapped animal?"
The headmaster of Dao Dao Sect didn’t pay much attention to it at first.
Firstly, he took action personally at this moment and went to Nanzhou.
Except for the Tao Lord Huashen who holds a heavy treasure, the Dao Sect really has no good way to deal with the Qiao family.
He didn't care about it for the time being. He just sent the jade talisman to let the monks and disciples in the sect not to panic. At worst, they would just go back to guard the mountain gate...
unexpectedly...
The communication jade talisman only flashed occasionally at first, and then started flashing crazily.
"Another Taoist temple was destroyed..."
"Three or four Taoist temples were destroyed in a row..."
"More than ten Taoist temples were destroyed. The speed of the Qiao family's actions was extremely alarming. It is suspected that more than one person is taking action..."
The face of the headmaster of the Dao Dao Sect gradually turned gloomy.
The Incense Taoist Temple is the foundation of the Immortal Sect. If the Taoist temple is destroyed, the Xianmen's faith will inevitably be shaken if they don't have thunderous means to punish them.
As time goes by, without the incense in the Taoist temple, the realm of the monks in the sect, including him, the headmaster of the Immortal Sect, will fall.
The destruction of many incense Taoist temples hurt the roots of the Taoist sect, and even he could not deal with it calmly.
"The Taoist Temple in the Imperial Capital...is gone too!"
"The jade slip that Elder Qingyi left in the sect was broken! He died in the hands of the Qiao family!"
A sharp light flashed in the eyes of the headmaster of Dao Dao Sect. He naturally knew what this meant. It was far more than just the death of one of the top three Nascent Soul elders...
Even now, the Imperial Taoist Temple is one of the best incense Taoist temples in Kyushu...
The slap that Qiao Mu slapped Elder Qingyi to death also hit the Dao Sect's face!
But at this time, the headmaster of the Dao Dao Sect looked uncertain for a long time, and then he snorted, grinned, and laughed in anger.
"The statues of gods are gone and Taoist temples have collapsed. As long as people's hearts are still there, they can be rebuilt."
"As long as we kill all the Qiao family as a warning to others, all the losses today can be undone."
The Incense Taoist Temple was certainly a big loss...but he couldn't care less about it.
As long as the Qiao family is completely suppressed, there will be room for maneuver!
The worst case scenario is to switch homes!
The leader of the Dao Dao Sect has a strong Taoist heart. Whether it was the destruction of the Taoist temple or the death of Elder Qing Yi, although this made him angry, it could not shake his determination to rush to Nanzhou at all.
He can only join up with the other four immortal sects, arrive in Nanzhou, go to the world-famous Taoyuan Villa, and completely kill the legendary owner Qiao Xin!
"The Qiao family has a tradition of blood revenge. Although they are strong, they are still limited by mortal desires."
"Destroying the Taoist temple and killing Qingyi, our Taoist Sect can bear it."
"But I don't believe that if the evangelist Qiao Xin also dies, you Qiao family can still sit still?!"
The headmaster of the Dao Dao Sect thought, and the eight pegasus outside the golden palace neighed in unison, flapped their wings and galloped away in the air.
Not only did he have no intention of rushing back for rescue, but he moved even faster, wanting to join up with the rest of the Immortal Sect’s teams as soon as possible to kill Qiao Xin!
The sleeves of the headmaster of the Dao Dao Sect fluttered, and an ancient bronze mirror flew out of his sleeves.
This ancient mirror is called the Tengo Mirror.
It was one of Xuantian Sect's sect's most treasured treasures.
A few years ago, the Xuantian Sect concealed the truth and allowed Emperor Yonghe to worship gods in Nanzhou. It was with the help of this Tenwu Mirror that the Xuantian Sect concealed the truth in Zhongzhou, and the leader of the Xuantian Sect held it to deal with other sects.
It's just that there is a gap between transforming into a god and transforming into a god.
The headmaster of Xuantian Sect was defeated later. Not only was he severely injured, he also did not recover well before he was beaten to death by Qiao Mu.
Even the Tengo Mirror, the sect's most precious treasure, was taken away by the leader of the Dao Sect.
At this moment, the headmaster of the Dao Dao Sect rushed to Nanzhou just to "return things to their original place."
.............................
The imperial capital of Zhongzhou.
Qiao Mu lowered his hands and stood beside Qing Yijiang, waiting quietly.
He didn't do anything else, just stood there quietly.
At the same time, people came one after another around the Taoist temple, their eyes full of awe.
"Qiao Gui..."
"He is Qiao Gui... With one move, he defeated the Taoist Temple of the Dao Sect in the Imperial Capital."
"More than that, I heard rumors that there is no Xuantian Sect Taoist temple in the huge Nanzhou, and even the sect has collapsed..."
The imperial capital is a land of crouching tigers, hidden dragons, and there are many first-rate warriors with excellent martial arts skills.
Most of the people talking about this were martial arts people.
"It seems that we can't catch this fish." Qiao Mu was a little uninterested.
Although he is a person who likes to show his holiness in front of others, what he is waiting for now is not a martial artist, but someone from the Dao Sect.
He took a step forward and finally raised his hand to hit Elder Qingyi's dim Nascent Soul villain, killing it completely.
At this time.
Only then did a figure come through the air, its feet turned into clouds, and it landed on the collapsed ruins of the Taoist temple.
"Ah? Is this the end? Am I late?" Taizu Yan landed with his feet on the ground, looking a little stunned.
"The end? This is just the beginning." Qiao Mu shook his head.
"We will divide our troops into eight groups and besiege the five immortal sects!"
Behind him, three similar-looking flesh and blood clones rose into the sky again, heading in three different directions.
The three flesh and blood clones were just passing through the imperial capital.
What Qiao Mu said about dividing one man's troops into eight groups was not just talk. These three flesh and blood clones will pass through the imperial capital of Zhongzhou and enter Beizhou, Northeast China, and Dongzhou.
Anyway, he plays multi-line operations, and Zhongzhou also has two flesh and blood clones to guard the home, so he can take care of both ends.
Change home? He wants both sides.
Qiao Mu just plays a trumpet and does whatever he wants.
Yan Taizu was stunned for a moment, looking at the figure of Qiao Mu's flesh and blood clone leaving through the air, and then looking at the ruins of the Taoist temple in front of him, he drew his sword and looked around in confusion.
"The Qiao family are always so free and easy."
As the Dinghai Shenzhen of the Great Yan royal family, it was naturally impossible for him not to know about the existence of this Taoist temple in the imperial capital.
It's just that at over three hundred years old, he will no longer be able to live up to the reckless man who overthrew the old dynasty in his youth.
The Human King Sword is used as a weapon of deterrence in his hand, so although he and the Zhongzhou Dao Sect have been in conflict with each other in the past two or three years, they have always restrained each other. Elder Qingyi and this Taoist temple are still there.
After all, he and Dao Dao Sect are essentially unequal and far from evenly matched.
The Dao Dao Sect was just afraid that he, who was holding the Human King Sword, would be defeated and cause considerable damage to them.
Just like a person would not fight with a grinning dog. People want no harm, so they keep a distance from the dog, but if the two really fight...
Therefore, the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect used other roundabout methods to weaken the Human King Sword without breaking out a direct conflict.
No matter how strong the fighting spirit of Yan Taizu was, he was no longer the pure martial artist he was when he was young, and would not start a fight lightly.
Qiao Mu didn't care how complicated Taizu Yan's thoughts were, he just kept talking to himself:
"You're not late, you're just in time."
After speaking, he took out a series of secret books from his storage bag.
There are "Tathagata Divine Palm" and "Vajra Indestructible Magic Power" treasured in Wujihui's arsenal.
There is also the "Aotian Divine Fist" obtained from Wu Aotian in the dungeon.
"This?" Taizu Yan was stunned, unable to react.
"It's just reciprocation." Qiao Mu said:
"I, the junior of the Qiao family, have gained quite a lot from reading your secret book. These are naturally gifts in return."
Before going to Xizhou, Yan Taizu's twelve music skills, especially the two "Tian Ming Shen Gang" and "Po Yue Long Yin Gong" that completed the Zhenjin version, allowed Qiao Mu to grasp the essence of divine will.
Following the reasoning of Taizu Yan's techniques, the later Zhenjin Demon was disintegrated.
Taizu Yan didn't refuse, he just held a few secret books in his hand and his thoughts were a little confused.
Why did he give the Qiao family twelve music secrets?
Not that he had previously obtained from the Qiao Family Taoyuan Villa the "Lingxi Sound Transmission Technique" that made the refining god Feiyuwei shine, and the "Divine Transformation Technique" that allowed him to achieve extraordinary feats in martial arts. ..
So it was actually Taizu Yan who reciprocated the favor and returned the gift.
This back and forth, exchanging martial arts secrets, feels like a perpetual motion machine.
Naturally, Taizu Yan would not refuse this generous gift.
But as the founding emperor of this dynasty, even the Qiao family, whose martial arts far surpassed his own, were still regarded by him as the people of Dayan. The people presented them with heavy gifts, so what should he give to Qiao next time? Where is home?
Just when Yan Taizu had a headache, he discovered that Qiao Mu had not stopped there.
He looked towards the south and said leisurely:
"Besides me, there are many Qiao family members who will go to all parts of the Nine Provinces to besiege the five immortal sects."
Warm reminder: The website is about to be revised, which may cause the loss of reading progress. Please save the "Bookshelf" and "Reading History" in time (it is recommended to take screenshots to save). We apologize for the inconvenience caused to you!
"But Taizu Yan has something to say to you."
"I'm all ears." Taizu Yan nodded.
In fact, the title "Yan Taizu" made him feel a little awkward when he said it to his face.
Taizu is the temple name. The emperor only used the temple name after his death. He should not have been called this way during his lifetime.
But Yan Taizu "died" more than two hundred years ago... Since he faked his death, gave up the throne to the royal descendants, and continued to be active under the name "Yanshenji", "Yan Taizu" "This title became his nickname.
I just heard the tree standing facing south and saying leisurely:
"This should have been said by Qiao Xin, the owner of Taoyuan Villa...but my Qiao family is connected by blood, so I will speak on his behalf today."
Qiao Mu continued:
"In that Taoyuan Villa, there is a girl named Wu Mingkong."
"She is a peerless genius that the martial arts saint has seen in his life. Her martial arts qualifications are unparalleled in all nine states. She can be compared with the sword-banished immortals of the past."
"It's just that this girl is still young, has a bit of a childish temper, is very competitive, and doesn't want to be left behind. If she can be given more guidance, she will definitely shine in the future."
"Wu Mingkong? I've heard about it..." Taizu Yan frowned and nodded.
He was a little confused as to what Qiao Mu wanted to say.
How about showing off the baby in front of him? Boasting that there is a peerless genius in their Qiao family's villa?
What else could he say? He could only nod in agreement.
Then Qiao Mu continued:
"My son's name is Xue Changhe. He is the young patriarch of the Xue family in his early twenties. He is the most outstanding member of the Xue family in more than a thousand years."
"This man has accumulated more than a thousand years of experience from the Xue family. Once he accumulates a lot of wealth, his inner strength will change dramatically. However, if the Immortal Sect is not destroyed, he can only live to be fifty years old at most.
This boy has an upright nature and a rare youthful spirit. He is also an outstanding figure in the contemporary Jiuzhou martial arts world. Nowadays, talented people are rare and should not be buried. "
"I have also heard about this person named Xue Changhe. He is indeed a young hero." Taizu Yan continued to agree, but his brows furrowed a little deeper.
Compared with Taoyuan Villa, where all the heroes gathered, his subordinates, the Taizu of the Great Yan Dynasty, were indeed a bit weak.
Not to mention other things, in the past three hundred years of their Great Yan royal family, there was only one emperor, Yan Shenji himself, who was expected to reach the super level, but he still died young...
"There are also two brothers, Jian Banxian and Lu Yanbei." Qiao Mu continued:
"Although Lu Yanbei is old, his foundation is very solid and his mind is calm and calm. Now he has the "Human Dao Jing" to practice. The two old brothers support each other and their martial arts progress is stable."
"Although there is no rapid progress, in a few years, Lu Yanbei, holding the Hualiu Sword in hand, may become a towering pillar."
Taizu Yan was startled.
But he heard Qiao Mu continue:
"There is also a young heroine named Bai Qingsi... This person is an old friend of one of my descendants, and she also has good qualifications..."
"By the way, there is another Qiao Yuan in Xizhou. He is actually from the Flying Fish Guard of Great Flame. He has not yet entered the realm of refining the gods, but he has many adventures and has an extraordinary character. He is also a rare pillar..."
"besides....."
Yan Taizu's frown, which was still frowning before, had gradually relaxed at some point.
He realized that he had misunderstood just now. In fact, he was not a Qilin'er from the royal family, and he felt a little allergic...
The real meaning of Qiao Mu's words seems to be...
Taizu Yan listened quietly to Qiao Mu's words before he asked, "Tuogu?"
"That's not the case." Qiao Mu said slowly:
"It's just a matter of making some preparations before the war."
"This is not preparing for war, this is preparing for the aftermath." Taizu Yan did not say these words, but silently looked directly into Qiao Mu's eyes.
Eyes are the windows to the soul.
This is especially true for the eyes of a martial artist who is refining the gods; the eyes of a martial artist who is successful in refining the gods are bright and lively, and they are even more like sharp knives when using the Witness Technique.
If Qiao Mu was prepared to take precautions, his eyes would naturally show no emotion at all.
However, the person in front of him was Taizu Yan.
Yan Taizu and "Qiao Gui" cannot be regarded as irreconcilable enemies.
Strictly speaking, although the two are not allies of the same camp, they are still on the same side when facing the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect.
Qiao Mu did not regard Yan Taizu as his enemy and did not take any precautions against him. Therefore, Taizu Yan could see something in his eyes.
"This is the look of someone going to die. Are you begging for death?" Taizu Yan asked bluntly.
Qiao Mu didn't answer.
Taizu Yan immediately frowned.
In fact, when he first met "Qiao Gui" this time, he had already discovered that this "Qiao Gui" was a little different from other Qiao family members he had met before.
It is also different from the last "Qiao Qijin".
"The five major immortal sects come together, and it is indeed a rare and powerful enemy. It is also reasonable to entrust the funeral affairs before the war." Taizu Yan said:
"In the past, when Qiao Qijin left Zhongzhou for Xizhou, I practiced it for him."
"Before you leave today, you might as well have a drink with me."
After saying that, regardless of whether Qiao Mu nodded, he said behind him:
"Bring two jars of wine."
Not long after.
His personal Feiyu guard brought two jars of spirits over.
The two of them didn't choose a place and sat directly on the ground in the collapsed ruins of the Taoist temple.
Taizu Yan first raised his wine bowl and said:
"A few years ago, I met Qiao Jin in the Imperial Palace and was defeated by him."
"From then on, I regarded Qiao Jin and later the Qiao family as my mirror, and I used people as my mirror."
"Today, senior Qiao Gui might as well use me as a mirror." Taizu Yan said.
"What does it mean to use you as a mirror?" Qiao Mu asked.
Taizu Yan raised his cup and drank it all in one gulp, saying:
"Three hundred years ago, I was the leader of human martial arts, the founding emperor of Dayan, and established an unparalleled legacy."
"In terms of martial arts, no one in the world can rival me. In terms of power, no one can compare with me. In terms of status... the descendants of emperors will naturally not be able to compare with the founding emperor."
"Nearly three hundred years ago, I reached the pinnacle of the world, and no one could stand shoulder to shoulder with me."
"It's just that people will grow old after all, whether they are the emperor or the best warrior in the world, it's the same."
Yan Taizu looked at the contents in the bowl, his deep eyes reflected in the wine, and told about the past:
"Shortly after the death of my grandson named Yan Shen Ji, I gave up my identity as the founding emperor and reentered the world as 'Yan Shen Ji'."
Yan Taizu’s eyes were a little lonely:
"But I am no longer a teenager after all."
"After avenging my poor grandson, when I returned to the world, I no longer had the same youthful spirit as before."
"At that time, I was wandering in the rivers and lakes, but I was like a lonely ghost. I had no rivals and no old friends. My life was as lonely as an avalanche."
"Later, I re-entered the palace under the name of 'Yan Shenji', and my condition got better. I almost didn't leave the palace for two hundred years, and I no longer thought about the world outside the palace gate."
Yan Taizu rambled on about the past, and he raised his wine bowl and drank it all, muttering to himself.
After living in the mortal world for three hundred years, the old friends, enemies, beauties, and descendants of Yan Taizu's era have all passed away with the wind and turned into withered bones in the grave.
Although there are still royal descendants left in the world, they are descendants separated by several generations, not his biological descendants...
"Although those descendants in the palace are not too close to me... they call me ancestor." Yan Taizu's eyes suddenly brightened a little:
"Then I am the ancestor of the royal family, not an immortal ghost in the mortal world."
"If one day the Great Yan Dynasty disappears, so will my royal descendants... I will be the real lonely ghost."
"This..." Taizu Yan lowered his eyelids and looked at the wine in the bowl, his eyes as vast as the deep sea:
"This is my obsession in this life."
"That's why I became the Dinghai Shenzhen of the Great Yan royal family, and I have survived to this day."
Qiao Mu listened quietly, and he finally understood what Yan Taizu meant.
This seems to be a drunken self-complaint...but in fact, "Qiao Gui" and Yan Taizu met for the first time.
None of us are young boys. Who would tell a stranger they are meeting for the first time about their obsessions after drinking?
What is in your heart should be kept in your heart. It is a taboo in the world to talk superficially and deeply.
However, Taizu Yan said it like this.
This is certainly not because he is ignorant of worldly affairs, innocent and simple, and speaks the truth from his heart when he meets someone.
This should not be the temperament of the founding emperor.
But Qiao Mu also understood.
At first Yan Taizu used Qiao's family as a mirror, but now that he saw something was wrong with Qiao Gui's condition, he tried to cut out Qiao Gui's heart and liver, using himself as a mirror to tell the unknown past of this 300-year-old man.
At this time, Taizu Yan spoke again: "Qiao Gui, you must have dealt with many immortal cultivators, and you must have heard of the immortal cultivator's idea of 'unfeeling and abandoning desire'."
Qiao Mu nodded in agreement.
"Sometimes I think..." Taizu Yan said slowly:
"The longer this person lives, the more he will inevitably become dull and dull, and his youthful spirit will no longer exist."
"People like me who live too long will inevitably become a lonely ghost in the world."
"After all, the Immortal Way is much more advanced than the Martial Arts. The ancient Immortal Way monks were also immortals with long lifespans. Thinking about it, they actually had countermeasures for this. Unlike us human warriors, we all rely on our own imagination and feel the stones to cross the river."
"Do you want their answer to be ruthless and renunciation of desire?" Qiao Mu asked.
"Of course it is." Taizu Yan's expression turned desolate:
"If I, two hundred years ago, had followed the example of those cultivators who cut off their worldly obsessions, instead of clinging to the great flame foundation and the descendants of the royal family - then I am afraid I would have been liberated long ago and could live happily in the world. Maybe they all entered the immortal realm through martial arts.”
With Taizu Yan's martial arts skills, as long as he doesn't care about future generations and doesn't wade into today's muddy waters, let alone walking sideways, even if he walks diagonally, jumps, or goes underground, who can care about him?
"But you won't do that." Qiao Mu said slowly.
Taizu Yan did not speak. After being silent for a long time, he raised the wine bowl in his hand and clinked glasses with Qiao Mu:
"Perhaps this is the difference between humans and immortals."
The two raised their wine bowls, and the strong wine went into their throats, and a burning sensation passed through their throats.
"So, in fact, the warriors in this world, such as me, you, and the martial saint, are all like this."
"Be ruthless and give up your desires, and the more you practice, the farther away you will be from the human world. This is the immortal way. You can gain immortality. The road of practice is long and endless."
"Having obsession and sharpening iron with iron is the martial art of our mortals. We will not live forever. The road ahead is unclear and there are no predecessors."
"Qiao Gui, of course I won't advise you to give up your love and desires. I also know that you must be quite young. I'm afraid you are taller than me..." Taizu Yan continued:
"It's just that this world is not the world of Qiao's family. Sometimes when we are burdened, it is easier to move forward if we let go."
Qiao Mu narrowed his eyes and put down the wine bowl at this moment.
"Maybe you misunderstood something..."
"I understand what you're saying. It's just that you may have misunderstood and underestimated me."
Qiao Mu thought for a moment, and suddenly a thought came to his mind.
He moved his hand slightly, and used his free left hand to use the "Immortal Guidance" move in the Changsheng Fist, pointing his two fingers together into a sword, pointing at Taizu Yan's throat.
Wherever the fingertips went, there was no deep and cold strength. It was obvious that he was not trying to kill Taizu Yan on a whim.
Taizu Yan didn't know why, so he also used the Immortal of Changsheng Fist to point the way, pointing his two fingers together into a sword.
The two people's fingertips touched each other, causing faint ripples of strength in the air, and ripples in the wine bowl, but it did not splash out.
"I... understand." Yan Taizu retracted his fingers, looked at Qiao Mu with a slightly complicated look, and drank a bowl of wine himself.
Yan Taizu's longevity fist has been practiced to a state of perfection.
A large number of heavenly materials and earthly treasures have allowed him to extend his life to this day, and he is still not old for more than three hundred years. His longevity is due to his longevity fist.
When he fought against Qiao Jin and others in the palace, he could estimate the martial arts attainments of the Changshengquan practitioners just from the brief fight.
And in front of us, the world's martial arts leader Qiao Gui appeared out of nowhere...
"How many years has this longevity fist been practiced? Thousands of years? Ten thousand years? Are you already so old that you can live as long as a cultivator?"
Yan Taizu was shocked.
He is more than 300 years old this year. He relies on his own body of medicinal spirits and natural affinity for herbs and herbs to survive until now on life-extending medicines.
But how could the Qiao family... Could it be that this mortal martial arts also has a way to immortality?
I don’t know how many years ago or in what era the old Qiao Gui, the reclusive Qiao family member in front of me, was born...
Although the history of the Jiuzhou human race is more than ten thousand years, not even Taizu Yan knows what dynasty and era it was ten thousand years ago.
This is not the leader of martial arts in the world. This is the ancient ancestor of the Qiao family...
Yan Taizu looked at Qiao Mu's white hair shawl and was shocked in his heart.
But he also knows...that's actually not the point.
"My age may only be a fraction of yours, and I can only be regarded as a junior in front of you."
Taizu Yan pondered for a long time before speaking in a solemn voice.
If he had re-entered the world when he was a hundred years old, he would have felt like a lonely ghost.
So what is Qiao Gui who may be thousands or ten thousand years old?
If we say that martial arts in the world is about constantly refining the mind until the will of martial arts becomes a sword.
So the strength and sharpness of Qiao Mu's sword had obviously reached a distance that Taizu Yan could not catch up with.
"It's true that I was rude, so I should be punished with a drink." Taizu Yan raised his wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
"I appreciate the kindness." Qiao Mu also raised his glass and recalled carefully:
"Thousands of years ago...when I was more than five thousand years old, I also thought about dying."
"Obviously it happened thousands of years ago, but when I recall it, it seems like it happened a few days ago."
"At that time, I did encounter a major difficulty in my life, but I later learned a strange cultivation method."
"As for the cultivation method, you must have a 'sun' in your heart..."
It is not easy for Qiao Mu to practice the method of cultivating gods and demons that he learned from the memory of Kuafu Giant. It is quite bumpy and difficult.
Although they are both cultivation methods, the difference between the martial arts of ordinary people and the cultivation method of gods and demons of the Kuafu tribe is like the difference between Qin Opera and Chu Ci:
The two may sound like the same thing, but in fact they are completely different.
What's more, what Qiao Mu wants to do is to take the essence of the Kuafu clan's god-demon cultivation method and apply it to mortal martial arts.
If this happens, it will be a great achievement unprecedented in ancient and modern times.
The Kuafu clan’s method of cultivating gods and demons is not a cure-all for all diseases.
To be precise, for Qiao Mu, this is like another way to temper one's mind.
"From then on, I planted a 'sun' in my heart that I tried to chase, and from this, I walked through the long five thousand years." Qiao Mu looked directly at Taizu Yan, his eyes shining like the sun. Shine.
