Chapter 489 The Original Intention of Cultivation
But the main point of the magic path is that everyone runs away when a disaster strikes.
No one knew whether Sword Ancestor would come again to settle accounts, so the Wanxiang Holy Sect gradually disintegrated after that.
After that, relying on the resources he brought out from the Wanxiang Holy Sect, he realized a chance to merge with the Dao while hiding and fleeing.
So he found a secluded place and has been in seclusion there until now.
After successfully being promoted to the He Dao realm, he spent some time consolidating his realm, and only came out after all the resources in his hands were almost used up.
However, once he came out of seclusion, he discovered that the entire Central Continent had become a little strange.
When he saw Shenlan City for the first time, these strange buildings and magical instruments made him think that some immortal sect had moved here!
Scared to death!
As a demon cultivator who survived that cruel era and successfully ascended to higher realms, he always maintained his usual caution.
Even though he later realized that the highest level of cultivation in Shenlan City was only the Perfect Spirit Transformation, he did not dare to enter rashly.
I stayed outside for several days to observe and make sure there was nothing unusual before sneaking in under the cover of night...
As a result, I just found someone on the roadside to search his soul, and ran into Jian Zu...
His luck finally ran out after he was promoted to Hedao.
Demon Lord Huanxiao secretly groaned in his heart.
"Master, please be wise. The person whose soul I searched is a first-class evil person."
In this situation, if I don’t want to be crushed to death, I have to explain myself.
"I don't think I'm a good person, and I've done a lot of bad things, but I've never tortured others for fun without a purpose."
Even among the demonic cultivators, most of them are at the level of "using any means to achieve the goal".
People like this who have no conflict of interest but enjoy oppressing and torturing others are simply perverts, and are extremely rare even among the group of demon cultivators.
"And this person's actions have resulted in the deaths of three people."
Having said this, I want to explain just one sentence -
The guy I killed was not a good person.
"..."
This group of celestial demons and cultivators are notoriously extremely perverse and psychologically abnormal.
Now I'm talking about others...
Xu Xingwei shook his head: "I said, considering it's not easy for you to merge with the Dao, I will stop here and forgive you this time."
Upon hearing this, Demon Lord Huanxiao felt as if he had been pardoned.
"Thank you for your grace, Master!"
"Don't commit evil deeds and hurt innocent people in the future."
"Yes! Yes! I will follow the teachings of my ancestors! I will definitely turn over a new leaf and become a new man!"
"Okay, let's go."
"Junior, take your leave!"
Immediately, the figure of Demon Lord Huanxiao soared into the sky, and rushed out of the city impatiently, and disappeared.
Not until he left did Xu Xing look at the young man who was collapsed in front of the barbed wire, his whole body limp and gasping for breath.
As soon as Xu Xing arrived, he helped him to solve the problem.
"Can you still stand up on your own?"
This is a little guy who has a miserable life.
He was abandoned at birth and raised by the welfare institution of the Righteous Alliance. When he reached the appropriate age, he went to school and received basic training education.
It was okay during elementary school, as he was surrounded by people who were similar to him.
But it was different in middle school.
He has neither been very hard-working nor lazy in his practice, but has only reached the fourth level of Qi Refining. Adding to his background, he always feels inferior when facing other people.
His cowardly behavior also became the fuse for him to be bullied.
However, blindly giving in did not improve his situation. Instead, he suffered even more severe bullying.
Eventually it evolved into what it is today.
After taking a long time to calm down, he finally grabbed the barbed wire and forced himself to stand up.
"Thank you very much, senior..."
He didn't hear a word of what Demon Lord Huanxiao and Xu Xing said just now, so at this moment he just thought of Xu Xing as a kind-hearted senior passing by.
"It's okay, it's just a small favor." Xu Xing looked at him, "But you, if someone asks you about it later, have you thought about what to do next?"
The young man looked up blankly, somewhat confused.
"he died."
It was a light sound, but it was like a thunder exploding in his mind, making his already pale face even paler.
"me……"
His mind was in a mess and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
In this day and age, for a teenager in the Central Continent, "death" has always been a rather distant word.
However, it is actually happening right before our eyes at this moment, so this behavior is not surprising.
After all, there are only a few young people like Xiao Fan who mustered up the courage to cut off his own career to save his brother, and like Zhang Yunlu, who experienced thousands of real death experiences but never collapsed...
"If anyone asks you, tell the truth and explain that when you were being bullied, you met a practitioner who had just come out of seclusion."
After leaving these words, Xu Xing disappeared.
Only the young man was left in the alley.
After he came to his senses, he stared around in horror. He was so frightened that he didn't even notice a flash of a red sword-shaped mark on the back of his right hand.
Yes, Xu Xing finally gave him a small gift as usual.
But compared to those given before, the small gifts given this time are a little different.
Whether it will be effective or not depends entirely on his subsequent choices.
If he develops the courage to fight, the sword seal will help him in his practice.
But if it is still the same as before, the sword seal can at most help him repair some injuries and allow him to live his life without illness or injury.
…………
For Xu Xing, encountering Chuguan Hedao on the road was just a small episode.
Leaving the sword mark was just a casual act.
emm...
The reason why he was more concerned than before was perhaps because the young man himself was a beneficiary of the social welfare system of the Righteous Alliance established by Yuan.
Shortly after.
After leaving Shenlan City, Xu Xing entered the area under the jurisdiction of the Hehuan Sect.
In the red sword light that swept across the night sky, Xu Xing was checking the message that Mei Zu had just sent.
Mei Zu: "According to what Dao brother said, it is indeed possible that Daowang itself has changed."
Mei Zu: "But after I get the specific situation, I will check it myself."
Meizu: "/Little yellow duck in white coat"
These are all previous news.
After a few hours.
Meizu: "Where are we now? /Boring"
Meizu: "/spin in circles"
When she sent these two messages, Xu Xing was still in Jianzong and had not left.
He replied to her and said that he was going to fly over slowly on his sword.
Mei Zu: “Ah?”
Mei Zu: "/The little yellow duck slammed the table and stood up"
Mei Zu: "Why go to all that trouble? Wouldn't it be better to just come over here?"
Then after a while, it was just when he saw Demon Lord Huanxiao.
Mei Zu: "Okay, okay, I'll pick you up on the way here."
The fugitive ancestor: "Don't you want to go out?" he replied.
But for some reason, there was no reply from the other side.
After waiting for a while, there was still no reply, so he had to put his phone away.
But just over a minute later.
Xu Xing suddenly stopped, and the red sword light lingering around his body gradually dissipated in the evening breeze. He looked at the figure in front of him who was waving at him.
actually……
Really came here?
……
……
"How about this? I'm here to pick you up in person. Are you surprised, brother?"
Mei Zu smiled broadly.
Tonight she was no longer in her usual style, but had changed into a long indigo-blue dress with a white ribbon around her waist, which was slender enough to be held in one hand.
A golden ribbon was tied around her hair, and the hanging hair brushed across her creamy cheeks in the night wind, and shone even more brightly under the moonlight.
Her eyebrows were as dark as distant mountains, which made the flowers on her forehead look even more brilliant like blood. Even before she opened her red lips, she already had a hint of spring color.
There is no doubt that a lot of thought went into it.
"But why did you choose to fly over here slowly, brother?"
She walked to Xu Xing's side, and walked towards
"Why fly the sword... As a sword cultivator, I want to find my original intention when I first started practicing."
"Hmm?" Mei Zu blinked, "Brother, your original intention of practicing is to control the sword?"
She really didn't know about this.
"Flying a sword and riding the wind, entering and exiting the abyss... It sounds very cool and unrestrained. When I first started practicing, besides staying alive, my biggest goal was this."
At that time, he was not even a drop in the ocean, and that was the goal of his cultivation.
But, who doesn't have a dream of becoming a 'White-robed Swordsman' in the beginning?
Even Yuan, a practitioner whose essence was a Dharma cultivator, had secretly tried to fly a sword.
This is what Huo said.
"But Brother Dao is actually quite handsome and cool!" Mei Zu said with a smile.
"Ahem!" Her words made Xu Xing embarrassed. "Okay, stop joking."
Now, even though I am a time traveler, I still had a period of being a bit immature after my training...
Dark history, dark history.
Fortunately, not many people know about it.
"I'm not kidding!" Mei Zu said seriously.
She really thinks so!
"Stop talking about this."
Xu Xing quickly stopped talking, he is now a steady and mature sword master.
"Don't you want to stay in the cave forever? Why do you want to come out?"
"Oh! It's rare for Brother Dao to come here on his sword, so of course I have to come out to greet him. Otherwise, how can I show my love for Brother Dao?"
"..." Xu Xing shook his head slightly, "Yinxue should be preparing to come back?"
"Well, Yinxue originally planned to come back before Xiao Xianning went into seclusion, but something unexpected happened and she was delayed."
"Accident?"
"Starry Sky Beyond organized another large-scale attack, so Yinxue couldn't get away."
Hearing this, Xu Xing couldn't help but frown: "The harassment from the other side of the starry sky is becoming more and more frequent."
"It should be that they want to conceal the true situation on the other side of the starry sky, so as to cover up the attempt of the 'Dao Guang' method."
"It's possible, but maybe it's not just this reason..."
that's it.
The two chatted as they headed towards the Hehuan Sect.
Finally, when the dusk faded and dawn broke, they arrived at the Hehuan Sect.
……
……
Once again came to the Hehuan Sect.
The morning mist was hazy, and the blue-gray color of the sky faded away little by little.
In the maple forest of the valley, a group of charming cultivators dressed in light gauze clothes, with cold dew on their fair skin, have begun a new day of "cultivation".
The Hehuan Sect is still as flexible as ever.
Xu Xing took a quick glance and couldn't help but feel emotional.
"Brother, do you want to see it? When we get to the room, I can wear it and show you!" Mei Zu said temptingly.
"Let's talk about it later." Xu Xing was very calm.
"Emm..." Mei Zu was silent for two seconds, and caught a glimpse of the golden red line in the sky. "It's just in time for sunrise, let's go and see it together."
"It's rare for me to come out. It's impossible for you to refuse such a request."
Now that it has come to this, Xu Xing naturally cannot refuse.
So the two of them came to a less crowded observation deck.
Similarly, there are many Mei Xiu who are here to broadcast live while watching the sunrise.
This is how the Hehuan Sect is. Wherever there is a nice view, there will definitely be a charming cultivator broadcasting live!
Fortunately, both of them are true immortals, so no one noticed their arrival. If they didn't want to, even the filming equipment wouldn't be able to capture any image of them.
However, there is no problem with the camera that comes with Meizu.
"Come on! Brother, look at the camera and take a picture as a souvenir. You can also annoy the Sword Master at the same time!"
Xu Xing: “…”
Is it really okay for you to just state your purpose so directly?
Although she had been staying in the Patriarch's Cave for all these years and had not been anywhere else except for a trip to the Beast God Realm, she did not become depressed because of this.
After taking a few quick photos, she put away her phone. What she had said before, "Qi Yi Qi Jian Zun", was actually just talk. As a master of temperature control, she knew exactly what to do.
At least not now!
After putting away her phone, she looked quietly into the distance like Xu Xing.
The people around raised their cameras one after another, ready to record this scene.
Then, the golden-red line on the horizon became more and more dazzling.
Silently, it seemed as if a critical point had been reached. A ray of morning light pierced through the clouds and fell down as if to turn the entire Maple Valley into a boiling furnace.
In the maple valley, the curled leaf tips absorbed the sunset glow and stretched into leaping flames in the chilly morning breeze.
The remaining dew in the leaf veins reflected a colorful halo and rolled down along the folds.
The entire mountain wall was trembling, and orange-red and crimson-purple spots of light poured down the steep slope, which was extremely magnificent.
A strange light flashed in Meizu's eyes.
I haven't left the cave for many years, and seeing the sunrise again at this moment is quite interesting.
"The decision to move the sect here was indeed the right one."
The morning breeze brings the bitter scent of wood lingering around my nose.
She suddenly thought of the time when she and Yinxue, the master and disciple, traveled around the world.
If it were in the past, as I had been searching for my own meaning, I would never have thought that I would stay in one place for so long in the future, right?
Finding her own meaning, this is also her original intention...
As I was feeling a little emotional, I heard Xu Xing's voice in my ears: "You have been in the cave for so long, and now you don't have to stay here anymore, why not go out and walk around more?"
After she came out of seclusion last time, she could seal the will of heaven without having to stay in the sect.
"Brother Daoist, do you mean that you want me to visit you more often in the Sword Sect?" Mei Zu said as usual.
"If you are willing to go, I welcome you." Xu Xing said.
So am I in a choice you don't want to make?
The words came to his lips, but Mei Zu couldn't say them in the end.
After a brief hesitation: "Brother Dao... do you remember the first time we met?" (End of this chapter)
