Chu Xiang was a little surprised. The way and tone of young people's speech were no different from modern people.
"Isn't it strange?" Sensing the change in Chu Xiang's expression, the young man said with a bright smile, showing a hint of pride.
"It's very strange." Chu Xiang nodded.
The young man smiled proudly.
Chu Xiang smiled and waited for him to continue.
"It's too small here. When I was five years old, I visited every corner here. Life is really boring. But I have a very interesting master, who also finds it very boring. Ninety-three Years ago, he opened a small hole in the barrier to bring in the sounds from outside. I have been listening to the sounds outside every day since I was sixteen years old. If the master hadn't been too hateful and never allowed me to listen, I would have I can learn your words at the age of five." The young man gushed.
"The world outside may not be as good as you think." Chu Xiang said.
"It's better than living in this tiny place." The young man disagreed.
Chu Xiang smiled and said, "We have been chatting for so long, but we still haven't asked you what to call me?"
"I call Mo Huan, the ink of the pen and ink, the returned ink, the word Zigui." The young man said.
The surname was Mo. Chu Xiang's heart moved slightly, and he cupped his hands and said: "Chu Xiang, the Chu of Chu State, the direction of Xiang."
"Hello, Brother Chu." Mo Huan returned the greeting with an cupped hand.
"Zigui, is Shushan that big?" Chu Xiang said. Mo was still acquainted with each other, so he took advantage of the situation to bring the two of them closer.
"Yes, it's six hundred and twenty-six miles from east to west and five hundred and seventy-eight miles from north to south. I've measured it a hundred times." Mo returned.
"If I go in, will I be beaten by your friends?"
"Haha, Brother Chu is worrying too much. Didn't you hit me when I came out?" Mo Huan laughed.
Chu Xiang smiled and said, "I also thought it would be best if someone took me in for a tour, but you should really want to take a look outside, so my idea can only come to nothing."
"Brother Chu knows my heart well." Mo Huan smiled.
"Then I won't delay you. We will meet again if we are destined." Chu Xiang said.
"Okay, goodbye." Mo Huan said impatiently, standing up from the ground, unsheathing his sword, and driving the sword away.
Shushan, a native of Shushan with the surname Mo, Chu Xiang became more interested in this place.
Stepping into the boundary of Shushan Mountain, Chu Xiang did not find anything special. It was just like the mountain when he came, ordinary and ordinary.
Step by step, he walked towards the top of the mountain in front of him. The tall ancient trees blocked the sky and the sun, and he couldn't see the sky above his head. There were piles of dead branches and leaves under his feet. The misty mist soaked the entire mountain forest. Chu Xiang was deep and shallow. The feet stepped on the rotting branches and leaves, and a musty smell filled the nostrils.
There are many animals in this mountain forest, probably due to different living environments. The direction of evolution of these animals is different from that of China. Chu Xiang cannot recognize most of the creatures, and there are very few creatures similar to China.
Chu Xiang stopped. This mountain forest was very ordinary, very ordinary, but different. It had a rich and simple ancient atmosphere. Standing in it felt like being thousands of years ago.
The mountain was not high, but it was very difficult to walk in this primitive mountain forest. Chu Xiang walked for three or four hours before he climbed to the top of this hill, which was less than a thousand meters long. His thighs were covered with rancid mud.
Standing on the top of the mountain, Chu Xiang saw a lively sky. When he was outside, the mountain blocked his view of what was going on in front of him. Now standing on the top of the mountain, he saw many more people. In the distant sky, figures were passing by, and the rainbow was like a rainbow. There is electricity, smoke curls up from the valley below, and the eaves can be seen peeking out from the trees.
Someone passed by, took a turn, pressed the sword light, and landed in front of Chu Xiang.
"Who are you?" the visitor asked.
"I'm from outside." Chu Xiang raised his head and looked directly at the other person.
The person who came was a middle-aged man, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and the same rough clothes, but he exuded a dignified and dignified look.
The middle-aged man frowned slightly and said, "When did you come in?"
"Four hours ago." Chu Xiang said.
"You lied." The middle-aged man said flatly.
Chu Xiang couldn't prove it, and he didn't want to prove that he was telling the truth.
Is it the king's land in the whole world? It was born in Shushan. It is part of China. It is not anyone's private territory, and no one has drawn a boundary to prevent others from entering. I can come and go as I like, and there is no need to ask the other party. Prove nothing.
Chu Xiang didn't speak. The middle-aged man's face became more majestic and his aura fluctuated, showing signs of taking action.
Chu Xiang's expression did not change, he cupped his hands and said: "The green mountains will not change, the green water will always flow, please." After saying that, he turned around and returned to the original route.
Looking at Chu Xiang who turned to leave, the middle-aged man's eyes fell on Chu Xiang's dirty feet, with an inexplicable look on his face.
After a long time, the middle-aged man turned around and left. Chu Xiang did not look back. He returned to the original boundary, sat down on a stone, faced the Shushan area, closed his eyes and wandered.
The next morning, Chu Xiang entered the boundary of Shushan Mountain again, taking the same road as yesterday, all the way to the top of the mountain. This time no one came to stop him. After sitting quietly on the top of the mountain for a while, Chu Xiang continued inside and walked forward in a straight line.
The valley is quiet, with faint voices heard from time to time, occasional roars of wild beasts, and shadows of people wielding swords passing overhead from time to time. If there were no swordsmen flying by from time to time, this mountain range would be no different from the ordinary mountainous areas outside, without any of the legendary Immortal Qi Dao Scenery in Shushan Mountain.
There was a house in front of him, but Chu Xiang went straight over without avoiding it. Chu Xiang did not deliberately restrain his aura. How could there be ordinary people in Shushan? He knew that the family must have known that he was passing there.
There were still two hundred meters away from the house, and Chu Xiang raised his voice and said, "I am Chu Xiang. I am visiting from outside. Please forgive me for causing any inconvenience."
"We have guests coming from afar, so I would like to invite you." A slightly older voice sounded, as if two people were talking face to face.
There is no breath, no power in the voice, a master who has returned to his original state.
"I have heard the name of Shushan Sword Immortal for a long time. I have some questions, please ask for advice?" Chu Xiang said.
"Please tell me," the old voice said.
"Senior, please tell me, what is a sword?" Chu Xiang stopped and said seriously, cupping his hands.
An old voice sounded: "What is a sword?" But it was not an answer to Chu Xiang's question.
"The sword is a sharp weapon. It can kill one person in ten steps and leave no trace behind for thousands of miles." A young woman's voice sounded.
"The sword is the heart." A vague voice said from an unknown source.
"Swords are also weapons. Swords are swords, knives are swords, grass and trees are swords, and everything in the world is swords. The way of the sword is the way of nature. What is more than is damaged is what is lacking." Another answer came out.
"The sword is the way."
"A sword is a sword."
Five people, five different answers, four answers that shocked Chu Xiang: the way of the sword's heart, the way of nature, the sword of practicing Tao, and the sword of returning to truth. There are different levels of swordsmanship. If the first answer is just barely entering the swordsmanship, then the next four answers are all about the understanding that can reach the peak of the swordsmanship.
"What does your distinguished guest think of as a sword?" an old voice sounded.
"Sword, weapon
, everything is a vessel, and the place where it is is a person. The way of man is the way of sword. "Chu Xiang said.
"Good. We invite you." An old voice sounded, and suddenly thousands of sword energies came through the jungle, but they were not sharp. Thousands of sword energies gathered into a bridge and stopped three feet before Chu Xiang's feet.
What a terrifying sea of sword qi. Thousands of sword qi passed through the jungle without even scratching a leaf. What's even more terrifying is that the thousands of sword qi condensed into a bridge without a single sway. Each sword qi seemed to be fixed in the void. All the same, as stable as a mountain.
Such power may have surpassed the virtual realm. Could it be that he was a powerful Hedao? But if he was a powerful Hedao, under the constraints of heaven and earth set by Lie Quezi, how could he take action, and how could he dare to take action.
"The seniors can make the juniors feel anxious." Chu Xiang said, stepping onto the rainbow bridge formed by thousands of sword qi. The sword qi bridge remained motionless, as if it were firmly on the ground.
"The distinguished guest is laughing." said the old voice.
"This junior is puzzled. The senior has already understood the way of heaven and earth, so why is it not restricted?" Chu Xiang asked directly the question in his heart.
"Shu Mountain does not belong to the current Jiuzhou. Our ancestors moved here with great supernatural powers, so they are not restricted by the covenant of Li Quezi." The old voice said.
"That's it." Chu Xiang nodded. It seems that Shushan is the same as Kunlun. As long as people from Shushan do not go out, no matter what they do in this realm, they will not be restricted by the three-year agreement. Only when they leave the Shushan realm will they be restricted by the three-year agreement.
Shushan Mountain does not belong to the current Kyushu region, so where does it belong? What is the difference between today's Kyushu and ancient Kyushu? Is it really the same as in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, where ancient Kyushu is the boundary that divides the world.
Chu Xiang took a step forward, and Jianqi Qiao took a step back. Less than two hundred meters away, within a few words Chu Xiang had already seen the old man in front of the hut. The old man was sitting on a wooden bench, picking vegetables. His beard and hair were all white. People feel old and decrepit, but it also makes people feel that there is an insurmountable peak in front of them.
Stepping off the Sword Qi Bridge, Chu Xiang cupped his hands in salute and said, "Junior Chu Xiang has met my senior. Thank you very much for your guidance."
The old man smiled and said, "It's a great honor to have a distinguished guest. Please take a seat."
A wooden bench appeared in front of Chu Xiang. Chu Xiang sat down and said, "What do you call me, old gentleman?"
"People used to call me Mo Laosi. If you don't mind me relying on my old age, just remove the four characters," the old man said.
The surname is Mo again. Could it be that people in Shushan are all surnamed Mo? Chu Xiang was a little confused and said with a smile: "Mr. Mo, please stop making fun of the younger generation."
"The title is convenient, why bother to be rigid, right?" Mo Laosi smiled.
"That's true." Chu Xiang nodded, and then said: "When I came in yesterday, I met a fellow Taoist named Mo Huan. I wonder if he is a member of Mr. Mo's family?"
Mo Laosi did not answer, but asked: "Little friend, do you know the origin of Shushan?"
Chu Xiang shook his head.
Mo Laosi looked at the sky in the distance, as if he was reminiscing about something. After a while, he said: "Shu Mountain originally belonged to Dongsheng China. The second tycoon of the Mohist family moved it here with great magical power. He believed that the Mohist family was the foundation of the later Qin Dynasty. To unify the world, the seventh great prince reached an agreement with Emperor Qin to seal off the Shu Mountain and cut off relations with the outside world. Most of the people in the Shu Mountain are descendants of the Mo family."
Shushan turned out to be the foundation of the Mohist family. The swordsman of Shushan turned out to be a knight of the Mohist family. The Mohist family was a knight and practiced swordsmanship. The theory of the swordsman is reasonable. No wonder there was no Mohist theory spread after the First Emperor unified the world. Thousands of years passed before the legend of Shushan Sword Immortal emerged. Originally, they were all sealed here. Only some residual power remained outside. It took thousands of years for swords to be developed. The legend of the immortal spread.
