"I've always wanted you to live for yourself."
Mu Yu's voice became very hoarse and his mood was very low. After that punch was thrown, he felt as if he had shattered all hopes with his own hands.
Kumu was silent for a long time before responding: "Everyone has their own way of living."
"So your way of life is to sacrifice yourself all the time to live for others? You are not willing to take away the position of master Yun Dan and leave the Alchemy Sect. You are obviously a genius in alchemy, but you want to learn the poison that everyone avoids. Skill, made myself unpopular, became the master of the Kaixu Cauldron but was unwilling to take away the Chaos Yin and Yang, liked the master's wife but quietly quit, saved my master for her, and even gave up his own life in the end, you are like this What kind of reward do you get for living your life like this? No one understands you, you have nothing! Nothing!"
That stubborn and face-saving man has always lived for others, never for himself. Once he lived in the misunderstanding of others, even his death was so insignificant that no one knew what he had done. , and no one knows what kind of person he is.
No one understands him except Mu Yu.
Mu Yu felt worthless for Kumu. He always wanted to let Kumu live again and live a good life for himself, instead of always accommodating others.
What's the point of such a life
Kumu looked at Mu Yu who was lying on the ground. He moved his lips and his eyes flashed with satisfaction and joy. He said without any regrets or regrets: "I have nothing, I have a son."
The one lying on the ground fuming was his son.
Mu Yu was startled slightly, his breathing became a little rapid, as if something was holding his throat, making him speechless.
Had a son.
These words were like a giant hand, lifting the mountain of depression in Mu Yu's heart that had been suppressed for a long time. The inexplicable anger in Mu Yu's chest gradually dissipated, as if a ray of sunshine shone into his heart and dispelled his haze. , the lost strength slowly returned to him, and his shriveled chest swelled again.
Some strange emotions came to his mind, making Mu Yu's eyes become a little hazy.
"What does the world think of me? All I care about is my son's opinion. It's enough for him to understand me."
Kumu looked at Mu Yu, as if talking to himself or explaining a certain fact.
Kumu's emotions are always so simple, so simple to be so profound, so simple that Mu Yu can't refute.
Mu Yu lay on the ground, looking at the inscriptions above the Kaixu Cauldron, pretending to focus all his attention on it. He could feel his own heartbeat, so real. For the first time, he felt that life seemed to have a new weight. , It turns out that life can flow like this, flowing in Muyu's body in some strange form.
Between the two of them, life seems to be more than just life, but has become another precious thing.
He didn't speak anymore, and instead thought about what is life
What do people live for? What is the difference between life and death? How do dead people live in the world? Will those who are alive also die long ago if they lose their principles
He didn't like killing lives before, but liked the prosperity of life, but after leaving the Moyun Mountains, he learned to kill. He accumulated countless lives in his hands, and even buried the entire Dongsha City with his own hands.
When his hands are covered in blood, life becomes insignificant to him and he can take away those who deserve to die without hesitation.
But when facing his own life, he could never let go. He knew that his life did not belong to him alone, so he had to give it back to that person.
The world of cultivation is full of intrigues. Cultivators can kill their brothers, their masters, and their own children without hesitation for a certain magic weapon, whether it is family or friendship. partner…
He has seen all of these, like Tang Yang and Li Yuan, disciples of the Jiuhua sect who killed each other for the Yanma beast demon spirit; Shi Dengtian of the Danding sect used his disciple Xu Ziye as a tool of revenge and used it completely Just throw it away; when in Wuqiu City, in order to collect soul points in exchange for the Po Jing Sword, Zhang Gan, as a senior brother, wanted to kill his junior brother Wen Li; the owner of the Golden Wolf Valley killed Tian Jiancheng in order to worship Tian Jiancheng as his teacher. My senior brother and master, Po Meng killed her husband for the sake of her twins...
Killing for profit is the norm in the world of cultivation.
However, there are still people who work hard for life in the world of cultivation. They want to live their lives more meaningfully.
Deacon Xun risked his life to fight to help the gray disciples no longer be bullied; the unknown swordsman Po Jian was willing to sacrifice his heart for the woman he loved; Master Lu was willing to use his life to atone for the mistakes he committed; and he finally put down his dignity for the sake of his family. Tianhe; Old Turtle and Brother Lu who are willing to sacrifice themselves for the Siren King; Taoist Yundan who is unwilling to surrender for the sake of justice; Master Medicine who is willing to endure humiliation and heavy burden to protect his disciples; Xunzhengtang family who are unwilling to betray their benefactors and sacrifice their lives generously The old city lord He Jinglong; the village chief grandfather who risked his life to protect Mu Yu even though he had no cultivation skills.
Just like Tianran who burned his life to save him.
Just like a dead tree that has always lived for others and given away its own life.
Just like Jian Ying Chenfeng, who sacrificed his monstrous cultivation and even his endless life in order to protect the world he loved.
Mu Yu has never figured out what life is. He can feel the flow of life, but he just can't understand it. When the life inside him became heavy, he couldn't give up.
He couldn't figure it out. He obviously understood every word and action of the strange old man in front of him, but he just couldn't figure it out.
What is life
Why do cultivators use their limited lives to cultivate immortality
Just to become stronger? Or is it to explore the breadth of life
The length of human life is almost the same, more or less just a few decades, but lives with the same length have different widths. The width of some people's lives is as thin as a thread, their lives are narrow, and they leave nothing behind after they die. However, some people's lives are as wide as the sea, and their lives are vast, but what they leave behind is like the endless tide.
Living a vigorous life for yourself is life.
Living for others moment by moment is also life.
Mu Yu looked at the inscription above the Kaixu Cauldron, while Dead Wood looked at him silently.
"You are very important to me." Deadwood said reluctantly, breaking the silence.
Mu Yu closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
"Although I am not a responsible father, no father wants his son to lose his life." Kumu said.
"What about me? Should I watch my father live like this?" Mu Yu asked in a low voice.
"Your life is more important than mine."
Mu Yu said coldly: "You think so little of yourself? You are also a rare genius in the world. Whether it is formations, alchemy, or poison, you are proficient in everything. If you survive, how can Baijie act unscrupulously?"
"Bai Jie is afraid of me, but he understands me and knows how to deal with me. You are different. He does not understand you, so you have the advantage. You have the energy of life and death in you, and you are also a person of immortality. Heavenly Sword and Formation Technique, As well as the domain of Spirit Lord Yumeng, you can give him an unexpected blow." Deadwood said simply.
After a while, Kumu said again: "In order to protect the world protected by your master, you must live."
Mu Yu clenched his fists.
"Why must I be the one to protect this world?"
"Because Feng Haochen left this matter to you." Kumu said.
Mu Yu sat up again, gritted his teeth, and his thoughts were confused. Master wants to protect the entire Third Heaven. For everyone in Third Heaven, Master will make any sacrifice, cultivation and life.
But Muyu didn't want to.
Mu Yu never thought that he was so great. He was just a human being. Now that he had powerful abilities, he was still a human being after all. He had human emotions without annihilating his emotions.
People in the world of cultivators are sinister and deceitful. When he came out of Luochen Mountain, he thought he would inherit the master's will to protect the world of cultivators and become the so-called savior. However, when he saw the ugly side of cultivators, he was tired of it. He discovered that... Not everyone deserves to be saved.
Especially when the cultivators began to slander Jian Yingchenfeng, Mu Yu became extremely angry. Master has made huge sacrifices for the sake of this world and has never done anything to harm the world, but what did he get in the end? Slandered, slandered, destroyed his statues, and shouted to beat and kill his disciples.
No matter how insidious and cunning the Third Palace is to fool the world, this is no excuse for cultivators to slander Jian Yingchenfeng. As long as they have a little bit of brains, they will not doubt the true god with just a few words.
Is it this kind of stupid, ungrateful cultivator who is greedy for life and afraid of death that Master wants to protect
If so, then Mu Yu can't do it.
He can go through fire and water for the people he cares about, regardless of his own safety, even if it costs his own life, he is not afraid of death at all. He can risk his life to protect his family in Qingshui City, his relatives in Luochen Mountain, the villagers in Liushui Village, Qiao Xue and Tian Ran, and people like Xun Lao, Master Lu, Taoist Yundan, Master Yao, and Zhuge Xiaosheng. , protect the Xuanzangtang family and the old city lord who have nothing to do with him, and protect Xiao Chenxi and Xiao Qingfan who are not afraid of death.
He can fight and kill to protect these people.
But he would never blindly die for those selfish and stupid cultivators.
"I don't want to protect this world."
Mu Yu clenched his fists.
Kumu just looked at Mu Yu. He understood Mu Yu and what Mu Yu was thinking. Kumu also knew about the matters in Dongsha City. Even though the power of killing affected Mu Yu, making him unable to distinguish right from wrong and losing his own judgment, Mu Yu still tried to maintain his final rationality and let the old city lord who understood justice make the decision for him. If the old city wanted to save the whole city, he would do it. Go rescue.
Mu Yu, who was unable to control the power of killing at that time, just hoped that he would not do anything wrong.
If the people of Dongsha City hadn't killed the old city lord and become the last straw that broke the camel's back, Dongsha City would not have been destroyed by Mu Yu himself.
Now Mu Yu has suppressed the killing power, but he has clearly seen the nature of a cultivator. It is difficult for Mu Yu to let go of his prejudices and save everyone.
He doesn't expect his life to be as vast and vast as his master's. He just wants his life to be clearer, that's all.
