On the immortal ferry from the capital to Shenjiang City, Gao Yunmian and Liang Qiu sat side by side.
Ever since Li Xiuping helped Liang Qiu activate his bloodline, Liang Qiu seemed to be no longer as timid as before. Maybe it was because they were the same kind and had a subtle sense of familiarity, so the two actually Is able to become friends.
Originally, Gao Yunmian had always had some grudges because he knew his identity, but now that he saw someone who was like him, he felt more cordial, so he took great care of Liang Qiu, almost as if he were his own sister.
And Liang Qiu can be regarded as having a second friend besides Li Xiuping, a friend with whom she can talk about anything. She feels very happy. The kind of pure happiness is that even if she died now, she would still be happy without regrets. .
Seeing them like this, Li Xiuping couldn't help but feel happy and felt that bringing Liang Qiu here this time was indeed a very correct choice.
In fact, both Gao Yunmian and Liang Qiu, even though they have completely different growth experiences, are still the same lonely people. This is due to their unique race, a race that is completely different from any other living beings.
In fact, it is conceivable that if a person one day discovers that he is an alien, looking at the whole world, there is only one person, not even a similar person like him, what a terrible thing it is. At this time, what a happy thing it would be if someone of the same kind as myself appears. It is a kind of closeness that comes from blood and a resonance that comes from the soul.
This is true for Gao Yunmian, and so is Liang Qiu.
So at this time, it is best not to disturb anyone, and just let them talk to each other and keep each other warm, so that they will not seem so lonely and feel that life is meaningful.
Because he needed to spend a lot of time on the Immortal Crossing, Li Xiuping took this opportunity to continue to comprehend that sword. After all, the stronger he was, the more protection he would have when the time came. As for refining the elixir, I'm afraid we have to wait until the specific problems of the Five Elements Formation are resolved.
Li Xiu Pingyuan originally thought that since the sword came from nothingness, he should gain insights from nothingness. In fact, he did get some gains before, but as he witnessed humans and demons joining forces to recast the Five Elements Formation, so many more... When ordinary people were sweating on this land in order to defend their homeland, with the impact of what they saw and heard on his state of mind, he actually gained a lot of insights based on that sword. Small progress, and progress that can be achieved without any deliberate effort at understanding.
It was precisely because of this change that Li Xiuping truly understood that although nothingness is indeed the beginning and the end, it is not everything. That sword is the being born from nothingness, the beginning of everything, and the end of nothingness. Hope, and only hope, can illuminate the void and give meaning to everything that is meaningless.
Therefore, Li Xiuping can have no realm, but he needs something to give him the meaning of being realmless, and this thing is that sword.
The sword can be presented in any way, or without the help of anything as a medium, but the sword must be a real existence. Regardless of whether there is a realm or not, it is there. It can connect all realms, and it can connect all realms. It can present the meaning of the sword and the power of the sword without any realm.
Therefore, the meaning of the sword should be protection, because as long as he has the heart to protect, he has the ability to grasp the sword, so the sword should be born for protection, and killing is just a manifestation of protection.
This is like his practice. At the beginning, what he pursued wholeheartedly was the improvement of every realm. But looking back now, those original pursuits and persistence seemed so... It can be said to be ridiculous, because relatively For his current way of practice, the original pursuit and effort seem to be just a thought now, but he has to endure it. Without those seemingly ridiculous efforts and pursuits, what would happen? Is it possible to stand at any height with just this thought? How can we have the understanding that no realm is the ultimate realm?
After realizing this and understanding this, Li Xiuping no longer obsessed with the understanding of that sword, because he had actually mastered that sword long ago, completely mastered it. From the first time he picked up a forging hammer to forge a sword, from the first time he picked up a sword, from the first time he forged the first sword, from the time he saw the sword of his predecessor. At that time, from the time when he watched with his own eyes the layman Qingming used his life to prove the way of swordsmanship...
In fact, that sword has always been there, but the strength of that sword depends on his state of mind and his determination to use that sword to do great things.
If he wants to protect the common people, that sword can gather the power of the common people. With this kind of heart and this power, he can destroy the God of War and destroy the Buddha, and he can suppress the heavens...
As Xiandu continued to move south, it took almost three months to finally reach Shenjiang City. In these three months, the biggest gain was naturally Li Xiuping's understanding of the sword, followed by Liang Qiu and Gao Yunmian. After they met, the encounter between them actually made their practice greatly improve, which Li Xiuping never thought of.
What Li Xiuping didn't expect was that after arriving in Shenjiang City, before he had time to activate the bloodline of the creatures bred in Shenjiang City's sealing formation, something happened that no one expected.
The rules of heaven and earth in the south were actually broken. The strong demons invaded in large numbers and went straight to Shenjiang City. The leader of this group of strong demons was actually the chief commander of the Night Travel Division, Gao Yunmian's father. .
Until now, Li Xiuping had never understood why the great commander suddenly disappeared without a trace. Now that he would meet him in the Divine Frontier City, he never even dreamed of it.
What makes Li Xiuping even more confused is that since the fifth formation was exposed, everything related to this great commander seems to be so coincidental. The exposure of the fifth formation is like this, and now the demons are attacking the divine territory. So is the city.
If Li Xiuping hadn't happened to return, the leakage of demonic energy in the capital would have been a huge threat after all. If Li Xiuping hadn't happened to rush south to Shenjiang City, Shenjiang City would have suffered heavy losses from this attack by the demons. After all, Shenjiang City The strong men all went to the capital.
As long as it was earlier, even just a few days earlier, Shenjiang City would definitely fall. All of this seemed to be aimed at him, Li Xiuping, which meant that he had to know his whereabouts extremely well, but what kind of person he was now, Li Xiuping, anyone Anyone who dares to peek in the dark can be picked out directly by him, so the problem is never his.
So Li Xiuping thought of Gao Yunmian.
As a result, Li Xiuping suddenly became enlightened.
The reason why the chief commander was able to grasp his whereabouts was probably because of Gao Yunmian, because the passage to the capital was revealed in advance precisely because Gao Yunmian went to Yunzhou to meet Li Xiuping, so when Gao Yunmian As soon as he met Li Xiuping, the problem of the seal passage appearing appeared. Li Xiuping was able to arrive in the capital in time to avoid the irreversible effects of the erosion of the evil spirit.
The strangest thing about this matter is that after Li Xiuping finished handling all the matters, he just had time to deal with matters in the capital.
After all, even if Gao Yunmian was relied on to track Li Xiuping's whereabouts, Li Xiuping had been in contact with Gao Yunmian when he first came back. It was impossible for the chief commander not to know about it, but at that time, the demonic energy did not appear. , otherwise it will be a huge trouble for Li Xiuping and the entire human world, and everything will have completely different results than now.
From this point of view, it seems that the great commander is helping Li Xiuping, or in other words, helping the entire human race.
Of course, another possibility cannot be ruled out, and that is Kunlun Mountain.
The chief commander knew about Li Xiuping's grievances with Kunlun Mountain, so when Li Xiuping came back, the first thing he had to do was to cause trouble with Kunlun Mountain. If the fifth passage was revealed at that time, this could be avoided. If this happens, Kunlun Mountain will not be destroyed.
The destruction of Kunlun Mountain is a huge loss for the entire human race, but for the demon clan, it is just the opposite. Without the powerful existence of Kunlun Mountain, the demon clan will lose a powerful enemy, so first borrow It is also possible that Li Xiuping's hands could destroy Kunlun Mountain and reduce a powerful obstacle to the demon attack.
But now in the case of Shenjiang City, it seems that the great commander is helping Li Xiuping, or in other words, helping the entire human race.
Because if the chief commander really relied on Gao Yunmian to track Li Xiuping's whereabouts, then when Li Xiuping was handling things in the capital, the chief commander must have known that if the demons launched an attack at that time, Shenjiang City would be unable to do anything. block.
After that, Li Xiuping left the capital and went to the Demon Clan, which took several months. If the Demon Clan launched an attack during this period, Shenjiang City would also be unable to resist it. Of course, it is also possible that the chief commander here was not sure of Li Xiuping's whereabouts, so he did not dare to act rashly. However, as Li Xiuping and Gao Yunmian went south, when they were about to enter the city, the demons launched an attack. Totally unjustifiable.
Whenever the demons attack, they should not attack when Li Xiuping arrives at Shenjiang City, because this will undoubtedly lead to death.
The demons and Li Xiuping had fought against each other in the East China Sea, so they naturally knew Li Xiuping's strength. Not to mention just some ordinary demon strongmen, even if the demon lord was involved, this attack would not have any effect.
Of course, this does not completely mean that the great commander is helping Li Xiuping or helping humans. It may also be that the demons want to take this opportunity to delay Li Xiuping. After all, since the demons can launch an attack in the Divine Frontier City , it is naturally possible in other places. Even if it is not for this reason, it may be for other reasons, such as the obstacles of the rules of heaven and earth.
The demons did not attack before, but the attack now may be related to the recasting of the Five Elements Formation, because the rules of heaven and earth had already been damaged and eroded when the demons first invaded. It was the Jiuxian who used the Kunlun Mountains to The Heaven-Mending Divine Stone completed the formation, so that all the demons were expelled from this world and could only stay outside the four major cities.
The completion of the rules of heaven and earth is based on the Five Elements Formation. Now the Five Elements Formation is recast. Although it is avoided according to the formation diagram given by Li Xiuping, the rules of heaven and earth will inevitably be affected. The demons have always been I want to occupy this world in advance to avoid being competed with the heavens and the world, but due to the existence of the rules of the world, there is no way. Now that the rules of the world have been shaken, the demons will naturally not let go of this opportunity.
So it makes sense that the demons would choose to attack at this time.
So I'm afraid I have to find out the exact situation from the great commander himself.
Gao Yunmian did not expect that she would meet her "father" during this trip, and she did not expect that her "father" would lead an army of monsters to attack Shenjiang City, so before the Xiandu stopped, she stood on the Xiandu Watanabe looked confused, even trembling all over.
This was the last thing she wanted to see, and the thing she had always been worried about.
How she hoped that everything was not what she thought, how she hoped that the kind father in her memory would always be the same person in her memory, even if she would never see him again.
Li Xiuping walked to her, reached out and patted her shoulder gently without saying a word. This was the only comfort he could give at the moment.
Gao Yunmian whispered: "Can you spare his life?"
Li Xiuping was stunned.
Gao Yunmian continued: "I want to hear him tell me the truth personally."
Li Xiuping nodded and said, "Okay."
After saying that, he said: "Xiandu is stopping at the ferry. Everyone joins the defense of Shenjiang City to prevent other demons."
After saying that, his body left Xiandu directly without any impact on Xiandu's protective formation, as if he disappeared directly on Xiandu.
After leaving Xiandu, Li Xiuping rushed straight forward, with a powerful energy surrounding his body, and then he crashed into those demons, forcing those powerful demons to retreat continuously, far away. From a distance, it looked like Li Xiuping was holding a long bamboo pole in his hand, and then drove all the powerful demons in a line and pushed them backwards.
With just such a face-to-face encounter, all the strong demons who finally got close to Shenjiang City were driven out of Shenjiang City by Li Xiuping alone.
After driving these powerful demons out, Li Xiuping stopped and said, "Long time no see. Da Si Ming, how are you doing?"
A man in black robe smiled and said: "Everything is fine. I didn't expect that Mr. Li would be remembered. I am really honored."
Li Xiuping sighed: "There is no way. Everything that happened after coming back seemed to have the shadow of Da Siming. It's just that my subordinates didn't expect that Da Siming, the Night Walker who fought against the demons, was actually a lurking pawn of the demons, or was he The biggest chess piece."
Da Siming smiled and said: "No matter how good you are at lurking, it is meaningless when Mr. Li is around."
Li Xiuping said: "So the commander broke the pot, exposed the passage to the capital in advance, and took advantage of the impact of the Five Elements Formation to attack the four major cities?"
Da Siming nodded and said: "Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from Mr. Li, but even if Mr. Li knows, after all, there is only one person, and there is no way to do it. Even if we cannot attack Shenjiang City, how can we defend the other three cities?"
Li Xiuping smiled and said: "As long as the rules of heaven and earth still exist, what's the point of even if you capture the other three cities?"
Da Siming smiled and said: "Mr. Li really thinks we are here for the four major cities?"
Li Xiuping was suddenly startled and said, "Could it be..."
Da Siming nodded and said: "Yes, it is the creature bred by the sealing formation."
