After meeting Chu Ge, the whole story was clearly explained, and the trip to the Barbarian Bone Forest came to an end. [Ran^文^书库]hp://%77%77%77%2e%76%6f%64%74%77%2e%63%6f%6d Wei Shiqi climbed all the way to Guanri Cliff and returned to Wuyaguan, walking on the creaking wooden plank road, suddenly felt like going home. Some people say that home is where peace of mind is. For him, home is where a woman is waiting for his return.
However, before he could see Qin Zhen and Yu Yao, he was blocked by someone.
In his impression, Qingming always looked like a naughty child, with delicate features, a handsome face, and a cunning and cute expression. He liked to sit on the railing, swaying his short legs, looking at the vast mountains, and thinking with a smile. Worry. He never thought that the sword spirit would also grow old.
We haven't seen each other for many days, and Qingming has grown old. He seems to have grown up overnight and aged overnight. His figure has grown much taller, but his hair is like snow, his face is wrinkled, his back is bent, and half of his feet have stepped into the grave. The only thing that has not changed is His eyes were as gentle as jade, still full of innocence and curiosity, mischief and teasing.
"How... did it look like this?" Wei Shiqi was horrified, thinking of Sheng Jingwei under the Black Dragon Pond for no reason.
Qingming leaned against the pillar, looking over and over at his bony hands, and laughed at himself in a hoarse voice: "Haha, I didn't expect it, and I didn't expect that birth, old age, illness, and death would all come to this day." His voice was old. The roughness is like a mouthful of phlegm rolling around in the throat.
"In the end what happened?"
"I accompanied the leader on a trip to the far north. I suffered a big loss and almost lost my life - haha, now my old life - in it!"
The hot wind was blowing, and the green mountains were vividly visible. Qingming scratched his temples and said, "Have you ever felt that the weather has been a bit off lately?"
"too hot."
"Yes, it's too hot. In fact, there were signs very early, but no one paid attention to it. In the past hundred years, there have been a lot of monks who are pro-fire in the Five Elements—"
Wei Shiqi nodded slightly. The two women beside him were all five-element relatives. The others were Liu Baizi, Han Tuo, Duan Wenhuan, Cao Jinren, Hou Jiangcheng, Shi Ben, Cao Yu, Qian Juan, and Feng Huang from the direct line. Kou Yucheng, Zhang Guanfeng, Huo Mian, Cai Ke, Lu Wei, Qian Yuan, Wei Yi, among the monks he knew, Five Elements Qianhuo actually accounted for less than half.
This is not normal.
"——If it was said that the Qi of Li Fire was subtle before, then recently, it can be said that the Qi of Li Fire has become violent and raging. The weather is getting hotter, which is just a symptom. Most of the monks who are pro-fire in the Five Elements have advanced in their cultivation, including the Fire Element. The power of his spells and swords has greatly increased, which is not a good sign."
Wei Shiqi guessed: "Is it because of this that the leader suddenly left Flowing Stone Peak?"
"Yes, the demons are in chaos and the demon refining pool is about to dry up. It's just a cover. The leader went to the far north, which is the source of all disasters."
Wei Shiqi's heart skipped a beat, "Could it be that the stars and rivers are hanging upside down and the land in Kyushu is sinking..."
Qingming laughed, coughed repeatedly, and shed tears, "No...it's not that serious, it's not to this level..."
Wei Shiqi breathed a sigh of relief. He was not ready yet. If the end came so quickly and there was no way to hide or avoid it, what would he do? Knowing that you will die in fifty years and knowing that you will die in five days are two different concepts. The former makes people liberated, while the latter makes people crazy.
“What happened in the Far North?”
"The leader made an appointment with Pan Chengnian from Taiyi Sect to accompany him. Pan Chengnian always took care of the details and only sent out an external incarnation. At the high altitude in the extreme north, we found that there was a crack in the sky there, and the upper world was separated. The fire energy keeps pouring in, and although it is just an inconspicuous slit, this world and the upper world are connected."
"The upper world is..."
Qingming pointed to the sky and said with a flat mouth: "There are many theories about the upper world, the fairy world, and the demon world. The master said that it is where the ancestors of the past generations ascended to, and it is also where the demon clan fights and dominates. Black Dragon Pass Ao, the demon phoenix Mu Lu, the celestial fox Ruan Qing, and the celestial wolf Wei Yunya, they all come from there, they are the 'superior immortals', and we are the mortals in the lower realm."
Wei Shiqi opened his mouth and was speechless. Although it was not the first time he heard it, Qingming's words still gave him a great shock.
"Actually, there are many things that we only understood later. It took us a long time to become convinced."
"Tens of thousands of years ago, the demon tribe invaded this world from the Ghost Gate Abyss. We have always wanted to know where they came from. Kunlun has sent people deep into the Ghost Gate Abyss in the past to explore the demon tribe's lair, but nothing was found until Tianhu On the eve of Ruan Qing's entry into the Demon Suppression Tower, he had a long conversation with the leader. Only then did we realize that the Demon Clan came to this world to take refuge. The Celestial Demon Clan headed by Ruan Qing failed in their struggle for hegemony in that world and was defeated like a mountain. Instead, he was forced to take refuge in a cave-like spiritual treasure. Haha, you can’t believe that a cave-like spiritual treasure..."
Countless broken and messy pictures reappeared in front of his eyes. He had seen it twice. The first time, in the Tiandu Peak, the Tao Fetus was condensed, and the remnant soul of Ba Snake woke up from its sleep, intending to seize its body and be reborn. The second time, in Tiandu Peak, At Flowing Stone Peak, Ruan Qing, the Sky Fox under the Demon Suppressing Tower, sensed Ba Snake's aura and "saw" him with his eyes - Ba Snake, cave sky, fierce battle, cave sky, betrayal, cave sky, cave sky, cave sky, cave sky, that side of the sun and moon sky The cave where rivers flow into the earth, the cave where all things in the world are contained in mustard seeds!
It was not an illusion, not an illusion, everything he saw was real.
"Unexpectedly, this world where we live and thrive turns out to be just a world that was nurtured and evolved by the Cave Heaven Spiritual Treasure!"
Back then, the White Snake Spirit told him in Jietian Ridge that the Demon Suppression Tower was a prison, Jietian Ridge was a prison, Kunlun Mountain was a cage, and the world was also a cage. She was sighing, missing, and hinting at him. Outside the cage, there is a wider real world.
"This cave treasure is really magical. I didn't know it was a tripod, a flag, a ruler, a bead, a lamp, or a shuttle. Oh, I really want to jump out and see it with my own eyes!"
Wei Shiqi couldn't laugh or cry. Qing Ming's bad taste was fully revealed at this moment, which was in sharp contrast with his old face. It was true that the country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change. "Then, what if the flames from the far north pour in?" he reminded.
"I passed through the crack and took a look at the other world, just one glance." Qingming's voice deepened, "The earth is turned upside down, a sea of fire. We are in a furnace, and the fire is burning our world. The Sky Demon Clan's The enemy did not let go of those fish that slipped through the net, they put the Cave Heaven Spiritual Treasure in a furnace and burned it, intending to burn Ruan Qing and us to ashes."
"I didn't have time to take a closer look, the leader called me back. The crack widened in an instant, and the flames swarmed in. Pan Chengnian was the first to bear the brunt, and his body was burned into a wisp of smoke. The leader was able to delay for a moment, and used his sword domain. The sword determined the universe and nailed the fatal crack. The Green Underworld Sword remained high in the sky in the far north and could no longer be pulled out - if it were pulled out, it would be a huge disaster."
Wei Shiqi asked tentatively: "You became like this because of the Qingming Sword..."
"Yes, the Qingming Sword is burned by the flames day and night. As a sword spirit, I have no choice but to become like this."
"How is the leader?"
Qingming said frankly: "Something is not going well. He was seriously injured. He barely managed to make it back to Flowing Stone Peak. He was almost out of gas. He is waiting for you at the bottom of the Demon Suppressing Tower. When you see him for the last time, follow me quickly." Go ahead."
Wei Shiqi didn't move for a long time. Qingming frowned and said, "What's wrong?"
"What will happen to you if I don't go?"
"What?" The smile slowly solidified on his face, Qingming was surprised and confused.
Wei Shiqing said clearly and clearly: "I don't want to see the leader. It's okay if I don't see you for the last time."
Qingming tilted her head and looked at him for a moment, leaned her body on the pillar again, and asked, "Why?"
"I met Li Hui at the foot of the Demon Suppression Tower. He failed to ascend to the upper world. His body collapsed and his soul had nothing to rely on. He had to enter the Demon Suppression Tower and join the group of demons."
"Well, there is such a thing."
"I met Sheng Jingwei of Taiyi Sect under the Black Dragon Pond. He was the previous master of the Fenglei Palace. He failed to ascend to the upper world and his body collapsed. He hoped to practice the 'Aiki Technique', absorb the black dragon's demonic energy, cut off the hair and cleanse the marrow. Enlightenment, reshaping the physical body."
Qingming seemed to understand something and said, "Go on."
"The flow of time is different between this world and that world, between the lower world and the upper world. When the monsters come to this world, they can be immortal for ten thousand years. But when we ascend to the upper world, our lifespan will be exhausted and our bodies will collapse. You didn't tell the truth. The reason why it fell into this situation is because Qingming Sword endures the erosion of time in that world day and night, and has nothing to do with the fierce flames."
Qingming remained silent and did not deny it.
"The master's physical body has been destroyed, right? If he still has the physical body, he can just come to me directly, and there is no need to escape into the Demon Suppression Tower to survive. If he doesn't come and wants me to go, it seems that he only has his soul."
"Who told you this?"
"Under the Demon Suppression Tower, there is Ruan Qing, the Sky Fox."
"It is indeed her!" Qingming patted the railing gently, curiosity showing in his young eyes, "What else did she say?"
"She reminded me that people in this world can only resist the erosion of time and ascend to the upper world by refining the mountain and river vitality locks and locking the vitality. I am the body he took away from me, the treasure raft that ascended."
"...Do you think the leader would do this?" Once the seeds of doubt fall into the soil, they are destined to sprout and grow, and Qingming also knows that his counter-examination is feeble.
"Maybe, maybe not, but I don't want to take the chance."
"...The leader didn't hesitate to take care of himself, and decided the world with one sword. That's why he ended up like this. The world is about to collapse. Shouldn't you do your best and do your best?"
Wei Shiqi said: "The Taoism of Taiyi Sect emphasizes 'seizing the creation of heaven and earth for one's own use, plucking out a hair to benefit the world without doing it'. If you want to benefit the world, why don't you 'pluck out a hair'?"
"Why?" Qingming asked.
Wei Shiqi stretched out his hand, clenched his fist, and said: "I am willing to benefit the world, even if I throw my head and blood, but I am not willing to benefit the world, even if I can't take even a dime."
Qingming let out a long sigh, looking out at the boundless green mountains, white clouds coming and going, and said: "Pull out a hair to profit the world without doing anything. In the past, the swordsmanship, xuanxiu and Xuanxiu went their separate ways. This is how they started. The paths are different and they are not mutually exclusive. Weimou, I didn’t expect that you are in Kunlun, but your heart is in Taiyi.”
