The sword returned, but some people can never go back.
The battle between the Yin and Yang worlds was won, and King Qin Guang was destroyed;
When Kunwu encountered a great disaster, the immortal Hengxu committed suicide with a sword to apologize to the world. He was famous throughout his life, but after his death he was praised and criticized.
The elder of Yashan, Fudaoshan, ascended to heaven overnight and disappeared from the 19 continents;
The Star Sea Sword Emperor Qu Zhengfeng also drew his sword and committed suicide. After his death, he was brought back to Yashan by the senior sister Jianchou and buried beside the tomb of thousands of cultivators. No cultivator in the world dared to criticize him.
According to historical records: The battle between Yin and Yang was restarted, and the nineteen continents gathered all their strength to attack. After twenty-six days, they fought the enemy in Bafang City, killed Qin Guang, and regained the Jiyu. The Great Venerable Jianchou took charge of the Book of Life and Death and was named the Equal King. On the same day, the Sword Emperor of Tomorrow Star Sea Qu Zhengfeng slaughtered Kunwu with blood, killing more than 2,000 Kunwu disciples. The Great Venerable Hui forced the Kunwu leader Hengxu Zhenren to be killed with a word, and then decided to rule the world. The Kunwu catastrophe ended. Later generations called it "Tomorrow's Catastrophe".
The historian's words were brief, but the few names recorded in them were enough to make countless later monks yearn for them and guess how many ups and downs had taken place in this eventful day.
It is true that there is no wall that is completely airtight.
What’s more, so many monks in the Hall of All Heavens witnessed it with their own eyes that day.
Even though many people, when they left Kunwu, never wanted to talk about the tragic scenes of that day, there were still some people who were curious and would talk about what happened that day to others.
So all kinds of rumors spread like wildfire.
Some people say that Qu Zhengfeng has really gone mad after abandoning Taoism and turning to the devil;
Some people say that Hengxu Zhenren is hypocritical and scheming, so it is easy for him to die;
Some people say that Fudaoshan is the best. He became a soaring man after seeing things clearly.
Some people also say that Senior Sister Jianchou of Yashan is the real ruthless character. With just one word and one oath, she forced the head of Kunwu, the first person of the righteous path, to death...
Of course, it is inevitable that some people are more curious about some trivial things.
For example, the one about killing his wife to prove his faith.
The two people involved in this rumor were both influential figures in the Nineteen Continents, and the story involved all kinds of grievances and love affairs. It was truly a strange story that was the most suitable to be discussed on the streets and after dinner.
Moreover, not long after this incident ended, the eldest sister of Yashan held the Emperor's Mirror and, after Fudaoshanren ascended to heaven, officially took over the position of law enforcement elder, becoming the youngest law enforcement elder in the history of Yashan.
Kunwu, however, was completely different.
After Master Hengxu committed suicide, the one who took over Kunwu was neither the calm and honest eldest brother Zhao Zhuo, nor the indifferent and wise fourth disciple Wang Que, but the most famous but also the most controversial Xie Buchen!
No outsider knew what happened in the middle. The only thing we knew was that the succession ceremony was very plain and unobtrusive, which was in line with the situation of recuperation and low-key behavior after the Kunwu catastrophe.
But there was a lot of criticism from the outside world.
After all, he is Xie Buchen.
Although he is indeed a rare genius in the Nineteen Continents, and he showed admirable talent and strategic wisdom in the war between Yin and Yang, the fact that he "murdered his wife" had to be admitted by him himself. Even if it was "instigated by Master Hengxu", people always feel that he may not be a good person.
Especially many female practitioners have criticized it.
However, the Kunwu disciples themselves never mentioned this matter, perhaps because they felt it was shameful
In addition to "killing his wife to prove his truth", the oath that Elder Jianchou made in front of the Zhutian Hall that day is also worth pondering. Because before, the Qingfeng Temple Hidden Realm and the Snow Region Secret Sect had already fought hard, and it was completely obvious that it was a feud that would never end, and Qu Zhengfeng had already fallen. Jianchou only needed to find a reason to break free from the constraints of the oath and seek revenge on Xie Buchen again.
For example, rebelling against Yashan.
But this speculation, or even vague expectation, will only ever exist in a secret conception.
If I put this on the table and say it in front of some knowledgeable and far-sighted monks, I'm afraid they will only say: You know shit.
It was not until decades later that Zhilinsou revealed the truth.
Once a vow is made, it will not be broken. Yashan has its own character. Although hatred is great, the promise is even greater. Moreover, when the Sword Emperor was dying, he called her "Senior Sister" and entrusted Yashan to her. His words were really heavy. Who can betray a person who has feelings for him
Hundreds of years after the catastrophe, the atmosphere in the 19 continents became more serious, and the unkind and unjust behavior in the world became less and less. After the war between the Yin and Yang worlds, many cultivators realized that although the path of cultivation is long, life and death are only a matter of a thought. They felt that the secrets of heaven are unpredictable and the afterlife cannot be left.
The Great Venerable Jianchou created his own "Way", cultivating this life, cultivating this present, asking his heart, asking himself, and asking the world, making friends with the Way of Heaven, and he has many followers, and it is gradually becoming a trend.
His own cultivation has also become the most fascinating mystery in the Nineteen Continents.
Thirty-two years after the catastrophe, the eighth heavenly monument is the first in the world;
One hundred and thirty years after the catastrophe, the ninth heavenly monument, the first in the sky;
Two hundred and sixty years after the catastrophe, the Northern Territory Zen Master Xuelang asked about the realm of heaven and ascended to Shangxu. The first two characters of the heavenly stele, "Jianchou", remained unchanged.
Three hundred and seventy years after the catastrophe, Zheng Yao, the head of Yashan, achieved perfection in Taoism and ascended to heaven. The two words "Jianchou" written on the first part of the celestial monument stood tall.
It is said that once a cultivator reaches the realm of Tongtian, he is not far from ascending to heaven.
But no matter how the cultivation levels of the cultivators in the world change, no matter how many cultivators reach this level, Jianchou's name will always be like an unreachable mountain, standing above the heads of all the cultivators, and no one can match him.
In the past few years, some people still talked about it, wondering how high her cultivation level was, how powerful she was, why she hadn't ascended yet, and whether she had some mental demons.
Later on, we gradually got used to it.
People have become accustomed to it and regard the name on the first of the Nine Heavens Monument as a common thing, as if Jianchou's name was naturally supposed to be there.
Monks of all sizes passed by the West Sea Square again and again, and rarely stopped under the Ninth Heaven Monument.
Only Xie Buchen is different.
Nearly four hundred years had passed like a fleeting moment, and his realm had soared from the Out-of-Body Realm to the Boundary Realm, with only one step left to reach the Heavenly Realm. But every time he passed by the Nine Heavens Monument, he would stop, look up at the two characters "Jianchou" on the highest monument, and stand there in silence for a long time.
The more powerful the cultivator is and the higher his cultivation level is, the more he can feel the strong oppression these two simple words bring to people.
No one would ever doubt Jianchou's strength.
As early as when Kunwu encountered the Tomorrow Tribulation, she was already the strongest force in the Nineteen Continents. In the nearly four hundred years that followed, she had rarely taken action. Only two hundred years ago, when the three great demons of the demonic path were causing chaos, the Kunwu Yashan monks went out to sea to pursue them, but after a long time of attack, they were unable to defeat them. She returned from the Eighteen Layers of Hell in the Extreme Domain and just came out from the bottom of the sea. She only glanced at one of the demons and destroyed him.
Its terrifying combat power can be seen from this.
In the blink of an eye, it is time for another annual meeting, which happens to be held in Yashan.
With monks from all over the world gathering here, it is a rare and lively occasion.
After Zheng Yao ascended to heaven, Fang Xiaoxie took over as the head of the sect. It was the first time that he personally handled all the complicated matters. And as Uncle Jianchou had not been in the Nineteen Continents in the past few years, he had to act based on his feelings and occasionally consult with Kunwu. Fortunately, nothing went wrong.
The boy who used to have a bad temper and was very aggressive has grown taller, and his cultivation has reached the terrifying late stage of the world, and he is just one step away from entering the ranks of the Return to the Void. But his appearance is between a teenager and a young man, with the innocent persistence and passion of a teenager, and the more mature calmness and steadiness of a young man.
Neither frivolous nor worldly.
He is dignified when he is silent, and his lips are curved when he smiles, but there is also a unique kind of mischievousness under his eyes.
When Xie Buchen brought a group of Kunwu monks to the Lanyue Palace to say goodbye, they saw him wearing a red Taoist robe that looked like a burning cloud. He had his back to the crowd and was facing the clouds in the front mountain. He was sitting cross-legged in front of the window in the palace, staring at something in a trance.
He only noticed it after they all entered the temple.
So he closed what he was reading, stretched out his long legs, and stood up from the window sill. He looked up, not surprised, but just raised his eyebrows and smiled: "The Holy Lord is leaving too?"
After the war between Yin and Yang, Xie Buchen was called "Ziwei Daozi" by all the cultivators for his strategic planning. Later, he took over Kunwu, which could be regarded as a mission in a time of crisis. When Kunwu lost half of its core cultivators at that time, he overcame all objections and drastically reduced the original scope of influence of the sect, keeping a low profile, and personally trained the cultivators under his tutelage. Although he did not accept anyone as a disciple, he compiled many cultivation classics, covering various aspects such as cultivation, formation, alchemy, and refining, from the shallow to the deep, which was rare and incisive. Not only did the Kunwu cultivators benefit from it, but many cultivators in the world also regarded it as a guiding principle.
After two hundred years of this, Kunwu finally recovered.
Although it is still difficult to compare with the heyday, it has recovered most of its vitality, and the atmosphere of the sect has become much more upright. Especially the young generation who have just entered the sect, they have already vaguely shown some of the purity that a disciple of a prominent sect should have.
Although people criticized him for killing his wife, they could not deny his extraordinary wisdom and strength. Over time, people naturally felt that the title "Daozi" was inappropriate.
So, I don’t know when he started to be called the “Holy King”.
However, these two words sound natural to other people, but when spoken by Fang Xiaoxie, who is already the head of Yashan, they sound strange and unfamiliar.
But Xie Buchen didn't care.
After all the events that happened in the Palace of the Heavens, the relationship between Kunwu and Yashan over the past few hundred years was naturally not very good. Moreover, Fang Xiaoxie also practiced "my way" and had been close to Jianchou since he was still a boy who knew nothing about the world, so it was normal for him to dislike him.
"In recent days, all the Kunwu monks have stayed at Yashan Mountain. I am sorry to bother you. Now that the meeting is over, I will come here to say goodbye."
Xie Buchen was dressed in a dark green Taoist robe, and his handsome features looked even more indifferent than usual.
He really looks like an immortal, without any trace of human nature.
He stood in the hall with one hand behind his back. He glanced at the letter in Fang Xiaoxie's hand and asked naturally, "Has Elder Jianchou still not returned?"
Fang Xiaoxie felt uncomfortable.
He has a pair of beautiful phoenix eyes, but his long eyebrows are as sharp as swords. His warlike and unyielding character makes him look naturally unruly.
Looking at Xie Buchen at this time, there was naturally a bit of displeasure and hostility in his expression.
He was used to being overbearing. He just put the letter in his hand behind his back and said bluntly, "No. But Master Jianchou has entrusted all matters to me. If the Holy Lord has any official business, you can talk to me."
The word "official business" was emphasized a little.
Xie Buchen's ability to see through people's minds is first-rate, how could he not hear it
But at his level, he really didn't take these provocations seriously. Since Jianchou didn't come back, he wouldn't say much. He smiled and said, "It's not official business, but a private matter she asked me to investigate a few years ago has been solved. If she comes back, please let Master Fang know. Thank you very much. I'll take my leave now."
After he finished speaking, he nodded slightly and left with the Kunwu practitioners.
Only Fang Xiaoxie was left in the Lanyue Palace.
His almost beast-like intuition allowed him to easily grasp the word "private matter" from the other party's words before he left, which was almost a direct counter-attack to him, and he frowned immediately.
It's very confusing.
During these four hundred years, Master Jianchou spent most of her time in seclusion or traveling between the Extreme Territory and the Nineteen Continents, rarely attending to worldly affairs, and even never showed up at the Zuo Sanqian meeting. To outsiders, she had already attained the Tao, was powerful and mysterious, and had reached the point where she did not need to show up at all, and could frighten demons with just her name. With the Saint King Kunwu, it could be said that "the kings do not meet each other".
What does she want to check
And it was Xie Buchen who was asked to do this several years ago
Fang Xiaoxie thought about it and became more and more unhappy. He raised his hand and threw the letter on the windowsill, making a "bang" sound.
This is a travel journal written by Zhilinsou more than ten years ago.
The page I opened was Yashan.
What is remembered is: the three swords of Yashan, the Yashan Sword is the holy sword, the Yixiantian is the devil sword, and the Wuming Sword is the real sword. The Yashan Sword was obtained by Qu Zhengfeng, which is the holy sword devil heart; the Yixiantian was obtained by Jianchou, which is actually the devil sword holy heart; the Wuming Sword was obtained by Fang Xiaoxie, which is the real sword true heart.
Fang Xiaoxie remembered it clearly. It was two months after he obtained the nameless iron sword. Zhi Linsou's travel notes had spread throughout the 19 continents. He also looked for it and told it to his uncle Jianchou.
But the master took one look and smiled.
After laughing, there was silence for a long time.
He then asked her, "What did Zhilinsou write wrong?"
She sighed softly, closed the letter, and said slowly: "Since a true sword has a true heart, a holy sword must have a holy heart, and a devil sword must have a devil heart."
Sacred Heart, Demonic Heart...
Fang Xiaoxie muttered twice in silence, but still felt confused.
It makes sense to say that Master Qu has a holy heart, but how can Master Chou say that he has a devil heart
