The battle was shocking, and the entire Qingzhou fell into silence after this battle. In just one night, many major religious countries in Qingzhou announced the closure of the mountain gates, including the Imperial Immortal Sect.
There was once an unrivaled powerful ancestor who warned his disciples not to go out or cause trouble. During this extraordinary period, some great sects even cut off all contact with the outside world, and did not allow his disciples to step out of the mountain gate to avoid danger. What trouble have they caused?
After the First World War, Qingzhou seemed quiet. Originally, Jin Ge becoming the Emperor of Heaven was a very lively event, but today no one in Qingzhou discussed the matter of Jin Ge becoming the Emperor of Heaven.
The battle in Yuanhuang shocked the entire Qingzhou. Although the strong men in Qingzhou, except for the Great Emperor and the Immortal King, could not watch the battle with their own eyes, these strong men could still clearly feel the world-destroying power fluctuations, and the monks with shallow cultivation were even more I don’t know what happened, but it was suppressed by force.
Therefore, after this battle, countless monks and strong men in Qingzhou fell silent. Even if there were juniors who wanted to know what happened that day, the elders in the sect remained silent and even warned repeatedly that they should not discuss it or go there. If something unexpected happens, it will bring disaster to the sect.
Although Qingzhou fell into silence after this battle, many great sects closed their gates, which also brought benefits, because the younger generation were all confined to their sects, which made them all practice bravely, and in a short period of time later Within a few years, Qingzhou was filled with outstanding talents and many heroes.
After this battle, Li Qiye left Qingzhou. With the joint efforts of War King Heavenly Emperor and Qilin Immortal King, a small gate leading to Yu Jiaoheng Continent was opened for Li Qiye. After passing this small gate, Li Qiye successfully Arriving at Jiaohengzhou.
Li Qiye came to Jiaohengzhou for his own reason. In addition to meeting Nan Di and the others who came up from the Nine Realms, he also had other things to do.
Jiaohengzhou, one of the thirteen continents, is also the place where hundreds of tribes thrive. Among the thirteen continents, Jiaohengzhou has the largest number of tribes living in it, and it is also the place where hundreds of tribes have taken root in Jiaohengzhou for the longest time.
In Jiaohengzhou, the hundreds of tribes are very powerful, but here the three tribes of gods, demons, and gods are much weaker.
In addition to the efforts of generations of sages, the greatest credit for the hundreds of tribes in Jiaoheng Continent to be as strong as they are today also belongs to Jiaoheng Immortal Emperor.
At that time, the Immortal Emperor Jiaoheng ruled the world and forcibly changed the name of the continent, changing Baizhou to Jiaohengzhou. At the same time, he announced that all the tribes of the Jiaoheng tribe would be separated from the jurisdiction of the gods, demons, and heavens. From then on, the status of the hundreds of tribes in Jiaohengzhou was established. status.
Therefore, the people of hundreds of tribes in Jiaohengzhou all remember the name Jiaoheng Immortal Emperor, and the name Jiaoheng Immortal Emperor has been praised from generation to generation.
After Li Qiye arrived at Jiaohengzhou, he did not immediately join Nandi and the others. He went to a very inconspicuous place.
This is a land of undulating mountains, where ancient trees tower into the sky, eagles fly and deer roam, and flying springs and waterfalls are everywhere.
Although there are scattered villages in this mountainous land, most of them are sparsely populated. Even if there are villages among these 100,000 mountains, they are only small villages.
In this mountain, Li Qiye was leaning against the stone wall, looking at the undulating green mountains and the small villages with smoke curling up in the distance.
Li Qiye was sitting on a mountain that towered into the sky. This mountain was straight and surrounded by cliffs, making it impossible for mortals to climb up.
It is such a mountain peak surrounded by cliffs, but there are tombstones erected on top of this mountain peak. Each tombstone only has a name written in a few strokes, and there is nothing else.
There are hundreds of tombs on this mountain peak, and each tomb is very ordinary, with no decoration, and can even be said to be simple.
The tombs are leaning against the stone wall behind them, looking at the undulating green mountains and the smoke-filled villages in the distance. No one has come to sweep these tombs, but there are not many weeds growing here. There are only a few green grasses peeking out from the cracks in the stones, blowing in the gentle mountain breeze.
Li Qiye spilled the wine on the ground, then leaned against the stone wall and looked into the distance, drinking the wine in the jar one sip at a time.
"Actually, it's not a bad thing to watch the setting sun grow old slowly and have children and grandchildren around you until you die. As mortals say, this is good fortune and longevity, and your life can be considered regret-free." Li Qiye drank the wine. , looking at the curling smoke, he couldn't help but smile slightly and said.
No one knows that buried on this mountain peak are the beings who once intimidated the Thirteen Continents. Many of them were strong men at the level of gods. They were all once the most powerful warriors. The enemy was frightened by the news.
The breeze was blowing, and Li Qiye sat there quietly, looking into the distance. After a long time, he said softly: "People are like that. When you are a mortal like a little ant, you will yearn for it." Monks yearn for the ability to fly into the sky and escape from the earth, across thousands of mountains and rivers, yearn for a life that comes and goes in the clouds and fog, and envy the days of eating clouds and dew..."
"...When you truly become a strong person, experience hardships, understand the mysteries, see too much, know too much, you will suddenly feel that being a mortal is actually quite good, and ignorance often means A kind of happiness. From birth to death in just a few decades, there is no need to experience too much torture. You have parents, children, life, and finally die of old age. All this is enough." Speaking of this, Li Qiye said softly The ground sighed.
After a long time, Li Qiye couldn't help but take a sip of wine, and finally couldn't help but smile, and said softly: "Speaking of which, I also envy you, at least you can let go, you can disarm and return to the field, let go of everything, and leave The world of monks, leave behind those years that swept across all directions..."
"...It's a pity that I can't. Even if one day I really want to, I can't. On this road, I am destined not to look back and can only keep going. No matter what is going on now, the future will be No matter what, I can only keep going, not stopping for anyone, not stopping for anyone." At this point, Li Qiye smiled bitterly, sighed, and said: "Who told me to be Li Qiye!"
Li Qiye sat there, drinking wine and looking into the distance. He sat there for several days, watching the sun rise and set, watching the clouds roll in and out. It seemed that he would never tire of this scenery.
"Goodbye, friend, rest in peace." Finally, Li Qiye stood up, grabbed a handful of dirt, scattered it between his fingers, and drifted away with the wind. Li Qiye took one last look at the tombs in front of him, and then turned around left.
Not far from this mountain peak, there is a village. This village is not big, with only a few dozen families. These dozens of families make a living by hunting, working at sunrise and resting at sunset.
This village is called Tao Village. It is called Tao Village because all the villagers in this village are named Tao. As for where they come from, the villagers in the village no longer know. What they can know is that their ancestors have lived here for generations.
Tao Village is no different from other villages. The villagers have been living a life of hunting and farming for generations. They work at sunrise and rest at sunset. This has been the case for generations.
There is a small stream flowing through the village head of Tao Village, and the water is gurgling. When the sun slowly rises from the mountains, the rays of the rising sun fall on the stream, flashing with little bits of broken light.
At this time, Li Qiye was leaning on an old locust tree by the stream, looking at Tao Village in the morning.
At this time, the sound of loud reading could be heard in Taocun. This sound of reading could be heard by both men and women. The sound was very childish, and it was the sound of children reading aloud.
The sound of reading came from the stacking yard in the village. Normally, the stacking yard is used to dry grain and grind millet, but now early in the morning, the children in the village are sitting cross-legged on the ground. , meditate and breathe out.
"Emperor, raise your head three feet, keep your eyes still, and your heart not rest..." At this time, a clear voice sounded, and there was a woman sitting cross-legged on the mat, teaching the children in the village word by word. Taoism.
"Emperor, raise your head three feet, keep your eyes still, and your heart not resting..." The children sitting cross-legged on the mat also followed the woman and read aloud word by word.
This woman who teaches Taoism is not old, she is only twenty-eight years old. She is not beautiful in appearance, but she is pleasing to the eye. Her oval face is fair and delicate, and can be broken by a blow. Her beauty is so beautiful that people can't help but look at it. His eyes lit up.
The woman did not put on any makeup or powder, and wore plain clothes. She was very simple, but it did not detract from her beauty. Especially her hair was tied casually behind her back, which made her look elegant and elegant. .
The woman taught the Taoism word by word, while dozens of children sat cross-legged and recited the Taoist teachings word by word with great concentration.
When such childish reading sounds echoed in this small village, they added a lot of charm to the small village. They sounded particularly energetic and pleasant.
Li Qiye stood by the stream, leaning against the big tree, watching this scene, listening to the sound of reading, he couldn't help but smile, and suddenly the scene in the past was before his eyes again.
In the distant years, there were people teaching Taoism in such villages, and the childish voices of the children echoed in the sky.
When the sun was high in the sky, the woman finally finished teaching a Taoist teaching. She stood up and said, "That's it for today. Let's all go back."
"Yeah, let's go back and eat." Hearing this, many children jumped up excitedly and ran home in a gust of wind.
"Sister Ting, when will you teach us your skills and let us fly into the sky like your sister?" There was also a child who asked this woman with a pair of longing eyes flashing.
