Mu Qing didn't know if Ye Qingyu was experiencing the same time regression as him.
deep.
A young man from a small and weak country in the north.
He walked out of the blacksmith shop, walked out of the dynasty's struggle for hegemony, practiced swordsmanship halfway, and went from being a casual cultivator who couldn't even become an outer disciple, to becoming the swordsman leader of the entire Northern Territory, and finally becoming the number one person in the world.
Such a path of sword cultivation, such a sword cultivator, made him feel passionate just by watching, wishing he could be in the same era and see the other person's true elegance.
And now, it was such a legend who asked him if he would continue to follow the same path.
This is to ask him if he is willing to accept the inheritance.
Mu Qing was silent for a long time.
The blood in his heart was still surging, but when he recalled the other party's life, what he remembered more was not the scenes of defeating powerful enemies, but the figures that appeared and then gradually disappeared around the other party.
Especially that woman also fell in a pool of blood in the end.
"I do not want to."
Mu Qing looked at Yuan's back and said seriously.
Such success and fame, but in the end there is no one to share it with, it is really hard to say it is worth it.
At least he didn't want to continue on this path, even if it was just a trace of cause and effect.
Yuan turned his back to him, remained silent for a long time, and then asked: "Is it true that achieving the supreme swordsmanship is not as good as love in your eyes?"
Mu Qing raised his eyebrows. In this special illusion, Yuan seemed to be able to understand his thoughts and asked: "It was she who helped the senior set up such a lofty ambition, and finally realized the ambition, but she was not with the senior, and the supreme swordsmanship was Is it more important than her?"
Yuan snorted coldly: "I'm asking you."
Mu Qing looked at Yuan's back. Putting aside the shock brought by the story, the Yuan in front of him did not look like a strong man with broad vision, but more like a stubborn person who insisted on arguing with him about right and wrong. Could it be that he Don’t you understand that there is no right or wrong in many things?
Mu Qing was silent for a moment and replied seriously: "It's me, I want to hold both. But if I have to make a choice, I will choose the latter."
Yuan chuckled: "In your heart, the pursuit of strength is just to be able to be with them happily? You are indeed not worthy of inheriting my way."
Mu Qing's reaction was very calm, and he asked about something he had always been concerned about, "Senior, did you really kill the Weapon-Slayer God?"
Yuan suddenly turned around and looked at Mu Qing.
Mu Qing's consciousness hurt, and he quickly closed his eyes.
The moment He Yuan's eyes met, he felt that all the secrets were exposed. It was only then that he realized that the connection with Meng Zhang had been forcibly cut off.
Everything here is under the control of the other party.
Mu Qing simply opened his eyes again and stared at Yuan calmly.
Yuan held the gradually cooling sword embryo, walked up to Mu Qing, and said slowly: "You are the source of the turmoil in this world."
Mu Qing laughed to himself. When his relationship with Meng Zhang was exposed, there would probably be many people who thought so.
Yuan asked: "You should know my determination since practicing sword training, right?"
Mu Qing's smile froze slightly. He certainly knew the other party's determination to fight against the source of the turmoil.
An invisible sharp edge reached the depths of Mu Qing's sea of consciousness, and Yuan asked again: "If you are given another chance to choose, how would you choose?"
Mu Qing frowned slightly and replied slowly: "If you don't want to, you just don't want to."
Now it was Yuan's turn to frown and said, "Inherit my way and I can cut off similar cause and effect for you."
Mu Qingcheng said: "Whether it is swordsmanship or other great ways, I regard them as tools. I don't have the devotion to the Tao like my predecessors. If my predecessors really want to choose a successor, Sister Qingyu is very good."
Yuan stared at Mu Qing deeply for a while, but Mu Qing still didn't change his mind.
Finally, he shook his head and smiled: "That's all, if you can reach the top of the peak, this can be considered as your reward."
Yuan handed the sword embryo in his hand to Mu Qing. Mu Qing obviously didn't want to let go, but his hands were raised without his control, and he steadily used the sword embryo.
Wait until the sword embryo falls into your hand
Then, it turned into a rusty piece of iron again.
Mu Qing quickly raised his head. The cold blast furnace was right in front of him, and he was out of the illusion.
"Hoo~"
A sound of relief sounded behind him, Mu Qing came to his senses, turned around and looked behind him.
Ye Qingyu smiled and said: "To be able to chat for so long, it seems that you have a good chance."
Mu Qing smiled slightly and raised the iron block in his hand, "This is my opportunity, huh?"
Mu Qing looked at his hand. As he moved, the mottled rust on the iron block began to fall off, and soon a very familiar shape of the sword hilt was revealed.
Ye Qingyu's eyes lit up, "A good sword, if it is refined properly, it may become a holy weapon."
Mu Qing took a look and realized that to refine this sword embryo into a holy weapon that could be directly activated, it would require a lot of materials and a lot of time.
He put away the sword embryo and followed Ye Qingyu out of the sword house, his eyes suddenly focused.
Two tombs appeared on the flat land in front of Jianlu. A handful of green bamboos were planted next to them, and many scenes were instantly connected.
"This is that woman and..." Mu Qing looked at Ye Qingyu.
Ye Qingyu asked strangely: "You haven't experienced that time regression? She and the Sword Master are buried in these two graves."
"The Sword Master is dead?"
Mu Qing was filled with doubts for a moment, and his eyes suddenly glanced to the side.
Fang Jun appeared at the top of the mountain and slowly came to the grave to plant green bamboo.
Mu Qing couldn't help but ask: "Are we still asking about Jian Shizhong? What is the scene that really happened?"
Fang Jun said: "What you see are real scenes, but they are from different periods."
Mu Qing asked: "Did the Sword Master also die?
Fang Junchen stood in front of the grave in silence for a moment, and said slowly, "I don't know either. But it is indeed him buried inside, and I buried him with my own hands."
Ye Qingyu said: "In that battle, senior Wu Min was seriously injured. Yuan was furious and took action, killing the supervisor Shenjun and repelling the White Emperor. When he calmed down his murderous intention and regained consciousness, even the sword was broken and he was alone. one person."
Mu Qing also experienced time regression, but perhaps the difference in realm was too great. The further back he went, the blurrier the picture he could see became, which was far from as clear as Ye Qingyu's.
Moreover, Ye Qingyu's perspective seemed to be much broader than his. Not only did he know the name of the Sword Master, but he also knew that the woman's name was Wu Min.
When Fang Jun heard this, he saluted Ye Qingyu and said, "Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Ye."
Ye Qingyu smiled slightly. She had made a choice once while standing in front of the bamboo forest, but the person who asked the question was not Yuan, but Wu Min.
As the woman who could support each other with Yuan until the end, Wu Min herself was the "Extreme Heart Sword" at that time, and her strength was only lower than that of the Sword Master.
After Fang Jun congratulated him, he threw the three flying swords to Mu Qing, who was still in a daze, and then said: "I was originally an innate Taoist stone. He found me and put it in the sword test square, watching those young people day and night. A person practices swordsmanship and gradually develops spiritual wisdom. Later, he is enlightened by him and becomes a true spirit, and he is regarded as his disciple."
Mu Qing recalled Yuan's question not long ago and said, "Does he regret it?"
Fang Jun was stunned for a moment, as if he knew for the first time that this word could be used to describe Yuan. Gradually, there was a sense of joy in his eyebrows that the mystery that had been trapped for a long time had finally been solved. He said: "He has become the well-deserved number one person in the spiritual world. Saint Yuanshan collapsed into the broken space, and there are more people willing to follow him than before."
"But he no longer paid attention to the power he created. Instead, he rebuilt a Holy Abyss Mountain in this space, with only him and his wife."
"He stripped himself off, his divinity returned to heaven, and his humanity escaped into reincarnation."
Fang Jun looked at Mu Qing, half-smiling: "The time-travel you experienced today was also a special illusion caused by this incident. When he in the illusion began to communicate with you, I couldn't be sure what he was like at that time. Is divinity dominant or human nature dominant?"
"But no matter which one it is, if you can reach the top, you will all get your own opportunity."
Mu Qing sighed, how could someone who is still here be indifferent to everything?
As for existence, there will only be a man who is full of regret but unable to overcome himself.
Mu Qing's heart suddenly moved and he looked at Ye Qingyu, "What's the name of his Taoist companion?"
Ye Qingyu was a little strange and replied: "Wu Min."
"Wu Min, Wu Ming...does this have something to do with the Sword Book that was taken away by Bai Shou?"
Fang Jun sighed: "You are quite sensitive to these things."
"When the four of them entered this place, even Bai Shou couldn't pass the test. When they were desperate, the thoughts in their hearts touched the master's wife, so she let him pass."
"The majority of the contents of the Sword Scripture he took away were written by Master's mother. The first half is Master's personal record of learning about swordsmanship, and the second half is Master's account of Master's sword practice. There are ninety-seven articles in total."
"In the last period of time, Master compiled a book for Master, and added two more chapters, which is the entire Sword Sutra. Master originally wanted to be named after Master, but Master joked that no one would know who we are in the future. , even Master, others only call him Sword Master, so he got the name 'Unnamed'."
The atmosphere was a bit gloomy.
Mu Qing recalled the silhouette in front of the blast furnace again, feeling a little desolate in his heart and asked, "Senior Wu Min, will you leave first?"
Fang Jun said: "Master decided to escape into reincarnation with her, so naturally they left together. Before they left, they mentioned that there was a kind of green bamboo in their hometown, which had a very good meaning, so I went to find it and planted it next to them. Later, it disappeared. Go out again."
Mu Qing put away the turbulent thoughts in his heart, came to the two graves, bowed respectfully, and then said with a smile: "Senior Yuan, you actually made a similar choice, didn't you?"
After Mu Qing finished doing this, he looked at Fang Jun, "Senior, do you still want to stay here?"
Fang Jun said unhappily: "As his disciple, if I don't stay here, where else can I go?"
While the two were talking, the scenery at the peak changed again. Green bamboos were already covering the graves, just like what Mu Qing saw when he climbed to the top.
At this time, Wen Jian was finally over.
Mu Qing came to the edge of the peak and looked at the giant sword stone statue halfway up the mountain, "Is the body of the senior outside, or is it here?"
Fang Jun sneered: "What do you think?"
Mu Qing said sincerely: "Senior, if you stay here, you should be waiting for someone like Bai Shou to continue passing on the sword master's sword technique. But don't you know that all the sword cultivators in the world today are considered to be Yuan's disciples?"
"As a direct disciple of Yuan, you should go outside and have a look. It just so happens that the destination of my trip is the Wuji Sword Sect."
