Great Xuanwu Sheng

Time is like running water, passing by in a flash.

Purple Bamboo House.

"Brother?"

Chen Yue's figure appeared outside the house and called out to the inside, but there was no response.

Her slightly hesitant eyes froze first, and then she ran into the house a little flustered, and then she saw that the house was empty, without a shadow of a person, the bamboo bed and bamboo table were all as clean as new, and there was nothing else.

Staring at the empty bamboo house, Chen Yue was stunned for a moment.

Gone?

During the days when he came to Lingxuan Peak, Chen Mu was mostly practicing, but he had been staying with her, Xu Hongyu and others for the past few days, guiding her and Xu Hongyu and others in their practice.

Chen Yue was smart and knew that Chen Mu's departure was approaching, but Chen Mu didn't say when he would leave, so she didn't ask, but came to find Chen Mu every day. At this time, looking at the bamboo house and bamboo bed, Chen Mu's neutral and gentle face seemed to still appear in front of her, smiling lightly and calling out "Yue'er is here".

Chen Yue walked into the house.

Her little hand slowly stroked the empty purple bamboo table. Her face was reflected on the clean and shiny tabletop. Her black hair was hanging down. Her pretty face had long lost its youthfulness and had become more intellectual.

In the southern corner of Yucheng, the girl who lived with Chen Mu in two low houses was now a graceful young lady in her prime. Her martial arts skills had even reached the five internal organs realm, and she could dominate even in remote places.

Chen Yue walked past the table, sat down by Chen Mu's bed, and looked out the window in a daze.

Six years.

She had always remembered the time when Chen Mu left Yu County. It had been more than six years since then.

Since Chen Mu left Yu County, she and Chen Mu had seen each other less and parted more. Even after she and Xu Hongyu and others moved to the capital of Yuzhou, Chen Mu still spent most of his time away.

She knew that Chen Mu's identity and status were different now. He was a famous figure in Yuzhou and an important sect master. Therefore, she also worked hard to practice and never slacked off. She could not become a burden to Chen Mu, but she still missed the days when she lived in Yu County in the past.

Especially after Chen Mu emerged, the family was no longer short of food and clothing. When she went to the inner city of Yu County to practice martial arts, she also looked forward to Chen Mu's news every day, sent letters to Chen Mu, and Chen Mu would also visit her.

But those years are gone forever.

If possible, she hoped that her family could be together and spend their lives in a corner of the peaceful and prosperous world, but the world would not change according to her will. This world is a chaotic world after all, and no matter how remote the place is, it is impossible to avoid disputes.

The first time she went out with Chen Mu and left Yucheng, she asked Chen Mu what the Jianghu was. Chen Mu said that the place they were in was the Jianghu, and they were in the Jianghu all the time. At that time, she was confused, but now she has understood the meaning of this sentence.

Once you are in the martial arts world, you cannot help yourself.

Chen Mu is a man of natural talent. He rises step by step and becomes famous all over the world, but he is destined to advance and never retreat. Once he sets foot on that road, he must go straight to the end, especially after the battle in the Ice State and the Earth Abyss. After the shocking battle, there is no turning back.

The youngest master of the world, the one who has the most hope of conquering the world, will continue to have troubles even if he lives in seclusion at the ends of the earth. Even a large sect like the Seven Profound Sect cannot be at peace. Therefore, Chen Mu has no choice but to leave, leave the Seven Profound Sect, leave Yuzhou, and take this last step to look at the world.

If he succeeds, the whole world will be silent.

If he fails, he will also leave a mark in the history books.

For a while.

Chen Yue's mind was also somewhat drifting. As the closest person to Chen Mu and the one who grew up with Chen Mu, she was a little confused about the experience of more than ten years, because the difference between the first half of her memory and the second half of her memory was as big as the sky. It seemed that after Chen Mu's serious illness, he had a spirituality that he had never had before.

She had seen the term "enlightenment" in a book. Perhaps it was at that time that an inexplicable destiny fell on Chen Mu, which enlightened Chen Mu's wisdom. From then on, he rose step by step and walked like a dragon in the sky.

Suddenly.

Just as Chen Yue's thoughts were drifting, another figure walked into the bamboo house.

"Yuer?"

Xu Hongyu looked at Chen Yue sitting on the bamboo bed and was slightly startled. Then her eyes swept across the empty bamboo house. She already understood something in her heart. She knew that Chen Mu had left. In order to avoid trouble, he left quietly.

"Sister Hongyu."

Chen Yue came back to her senses and looked at Xu Hongyu. Although she should have called her 'sister-in-law' a long time ago, she had not changed her habit of calling her 'sister-in-law' for many years. She stood up from the bamboo bed and whispered, "When do you think brother will be back this time?"

Xu Hongyu looked out the window, looking at the vast mountains in the distance, and said:

"It will be a long time, ten years, or twenty years..."

Although she is not a master, she has now entered the six internal organs realm. She knows how difficult it is to go from marrow washing to blood exchange. Marrow washing is the 'heavenly gate', which means the difficulty of ascending to heaven, and blood exchange is the 'life and death gate', which means the difficulty of crossing life and death.

For ordinary masters, it takes about twenty years from entering the marrow washing realm to entering the blood exchange realm. As the saying goes, life and death are both uncertain in the rivers and lakes, and twenty years pass in the blink of an eye.

But Chen Mu's cultivation is the way of heaven and earth, and his talent and understanding are unprecedented in a thousand years, so it is impossible to measure. Maybe it will take ten years, or maybe twenty years, or thirty years, no one can tell.

As she said.

Xu Hongyu gently stroked her belly, the coldness of the past had long faded away, and there was a hint of tenderness in her eyes.

Chen Yue looked at Xu Hongyu's movements, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she pursed her lips, turned her head again, and looked out the window through the bamboo window, looking at the rolling Qixuan Mountains in the distance.

What will it be like when Chen Mu returns?

…

Among the hills.

A figure strolled along.

He was wearing a simple linen garment, with nothing growing on his body. He looked like an ordinary mountain man living in an ordinary world. But with every step he took, his figure quietly disappeared on the spot, and he spanned a hundred feet in one step. .

This figure is none other than Chen Mu.

In the world today, countless eyes are focused on the Qixuan Sect. He stayed a few more days for Xu Hongyu, and the risks were already greater. Naturally, he would not specify the day of departure. He gathered his breath at night and escaped along the Qixuan Sect's territory. .

The direction he was heading was not straight to the sea, but all the way south. He had traveled thousands of miles in a blink of an eye, and now he had quietly entered the territory of Yu County. He was currently in Anyu County, heading towards Yu County. Go to the county town.

I don’t know how long the trip to the outer sea will take.

There is a person in Yu County who wants to see him again before leaving, and that is Mr. Yu Jiujiang of the Yu family.

As time goes by, life and death rotate. Although Mr. Yu is an expert in the Five Zang Realm, he has already reached his final years. If the Kanshui lineage of cultivation had not paid attention to health preservation, he might have passed away long ago.

Yu Jiujiang cared for him a lot when his cultivation was still shallow. I don’t know how long his trip to the sea will take. Perhaps when he leaves and comes back, Mr. Yu will be separated forever. Before he leaves, he is still Going to visit again.

"Um?"

Chen Mu was walking among the hills, and every step he took covered a very long distance. But just as he was passing by a mountain, he suddenly stopped, then took a step sideways, came to the top of a rock, and looked into the distance. Mountain forest.

In the distant mountains and forests, there were waves of shouts of killing echoing.

But I saw a group of people wearing official uniforms fighting with a group of bandits in different clothes. There were dozens of people on each side. The battle seemed a little anxious. The official leader was a young man with a knife. There were about two dozen people. He looks like a teenager, but his strength is extraordinary, and he is in the realm of Yi Jin Xiaosheng, but the leader of the bandits is also a figure in the Yi Jin realm.

The officer's side had slightly more troops, but the bandit's side was slightly stronger. The bandit leader was currently fighting one against three, and he still managed to keep up with the young officer and the two well-trained auxiliary generals.

Uh-huh!

As the sword flashed, an auxiliary general assisting the young official suddenly shouted and staggered back. The leather armor on his arm cracked, and a long blood mark appeared on his upper arm, and blood flowed out.

The young official immediately frowned.

The bandit leader slashed one person with his sword, but at this time he was fierce and grinning: "Song Chasi, with your little ability, it seems that you can't do anything to me. You official officers are nothing more than this. I will spare you today." You better go back and practice swordsmanship for two more years. If you continue to fight, your life will be at stake here!"

Hexuan stared at the young man in front of him, with a fierce look in his eyes and a fierce aura, trying to force the young officer to retreat.

He has been entrenched in the Wutong Mountains of Anyu County for many years, and has a deep understanding of many people in Anyu County and even Yu County. For example, the young man in front of him, named Song Zhou, not only has outstanding martial arts talent, but also has a very deep background. Even today's He was unafraid and was even sure that he could injure or even kill Song Zhou, but he did not dare to do so.

Because he knew very well that if he killed Song Zhou, the trouble would be big, and the entire Yu County would have no place to stay!

It is said that the Song Zhou family was originally just ordinary people in Anyu County, but somehow they became related to the rumored big shot from Yu County... Of course, this statement is only a rumor, and it is not clear whether it is true or not, but Song Zhou Zhou's sister Song Miao married into the largest family in Yu County, the Yu family, and was an in-law of the real Yu family.

Leaving aside the previous points, He Xuan was unwilling to offend anyone to the point of death just because of his relationship with the Yu family, so he always left some room for his sword skills and planned to force Song Zhou and his party back without fighting to the death.

Song Zhou kept waving his sword to resist, but his brows were furrowed tightly.

This group of thieves from Hexuan were hiding in the Wutong Mountains. They acted extremely cautiously and had been running rampant for many years without being caught. This time, with great difficulty, some traces were finally exposed and he led his team to catch up. If he let them go, they would be caught next time. He doesn't know when he will find it again, but if he doesn't let it go... Hexuan's strength is indeed stronger than he expected.

According to the information, Hexuan is only a small-scale figure of Yi Jin, but in fact, he is in the body-tempering realm of Yi Jin. His sword skills are perfect and flawless, and he has also mastered both light and heavy sword skills. The power is indeed difficult to win.

Now he has only mastered the 'River-breaking Sword', a type of sword technique.

"..."

Seeing that Song Zhou was hesitant but not retreating, Hexuan's face darkened, he snorted coldly, swung his sword twice, and forced another of Song Zhou's followers to retreat, then he jumped up and struck three times in succession. Heavy knife.

when! when! when! !

Song Zhou had no choice but to retreat, and was forced to connect three swords. The last sword fell, as heavy as a landslide. He felt the tiger's mouth shake violently, and his hands went numb. He had to forcefully hold the knife in his hand. The tiger's mouth was cracked by the shock, and he staggered back. Blood dripped down.

"Hahaha……"

When Hexuan saw this, he laughed wildly, then said with a ferocious look on his face: "Get out of there yet!"

Although Song Zhou's face was heavy and his eyes had not yet shown any intention of retreat, when the nearby officials saw that Song Zhou was defeated by Hexuan, their eyes were shocked and their aura was low for a while, while many gangsters were Everyone is in high spirits.

"Boss He's sword skills are even comparable to those of you official officers!"

"With your little ability, you still dare to fight with us. If you don't get out, you and I will all die here!"

Some people even shouted loudly.

Song Zhou's face looked ugly at this time, not because he lost to Hexuan. In fact, he was able to contain him and would not be easily defeated. However, it was not a one-on-one fight at this time, but a melee between dozens of people. The officials and gangsters were so powerful. It is not a good thing to continue fighting like this. The casualties on the official side are difficult to control.

But just when Song Zhou saw that the situation was unfavorable, he sighed secretly and was about to order the withdrawal of troops, but his movements suddenly stopped.

It's not just him.

Including Hexuan, the officials present, and many gangsters also slowed down inexplicably, and their eyes were all looking in one direction of the forest, as if being pulled by some inexplicable force.

But in that direction, Chen Mu's figure appeared out of nowhere. He was dressed in simple linen clothes and stopped under a locust tree. He seemed to have been watching for a long time, but no one noticed him until now.

"who?!"

He Xuan's pupils shrank slightly and he instantly pointed the knife at Chen Mu.

Although there was chaos nearby, and his bandits and officials were constantly fighting, there was an extra person out of thin air that he had not noticed before. This was obviously something unusual, even though Chen Mu did not reveal any warrior blood, he looked like a He couldn't help but become wary of the ordinary mountain people who went up the mountain to cut firewood.

Many officials and bandits also looked at Chen Mu, but they all looked at a loss.

Only Song Zhou.

When he looked at Chen Mu's face, he was startled for a moment, and then there was a look of disbelief in his eyes, and there was unconcealable excitement on his face... How could it be him, why was he here? !

Chen Mu didn't speak, just stood there. Suddenly a breeze blew by, and a dead leaf fell from the ancient tree. It fell from beside him. He raised his hand casually and gently held the dead leaf between his fingers. , his eyes fell on Song Zhou, and he said in an easy-going tone:

"The main point of the Duanjiang Sword is to cut off, and the water is beneficial to all things rather than attacking. Although this sword technique is of the Kanshui lineage, it is actually a reverse Kanshui method. You can practice it well, but if you go deep with this method, you will be far away from it. The artistic conception of Kanshui is farther away.”

As the words fell.

But Chen Mu picked up a dead leaf with his finger and flicked it towards Hexuan not far away as if casually.

Hexuan originally pointed the knife at Chen Mu, his eyes were extremely wary, but when he heard the words in Chen Mu's mouth, he felt something bad. When he saw Chen Mu suddenly flicked his finger towards him, an ordinary dead leaf flew towards him, and the whole People immediately feel as if they are facing a powerful enemy!

not good!

Even though there is almost no trace of power on this dead leaf, Hexuan has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, and he has seen the masters of the Five Zang Realm take action from a distance. It was clear and unfathomable.

Chen Mu's silent appearance, his comments and words about his sword skills, and his understatement made him feel shocked. It was obviously just a dead leaf flying towards him, but he still dodged and retreated violently. I don't dare to force the slightest connection.

The speed and movement skills that exploded at this moment were not even the perfection of Yi Jin, but the perfection of Yi Jin!

"This guy also hides his strength."

Song Zhou noticed Hexuan's actions and felt a chill in his heart. No wonder Hexuan had been running rampant for many years without being controlled. The level of strength described in the intelligence was totally different from its true level. If he used all his strength to attack, he would definitely not be able to stop the three swords. !

But in front of that person...

Thoughts arose in Song Zhou's mind, and the next moment he saw that ordinary piece of dead leaves quietly catching up with He Xuan, and for a moment, he felt in a trance.

What he saw in his sight seemed to be a silvery-white Milky Way, falling from the nine heavens and spreading all over the world. And that piece of dead leaf flew silently towards the Milky Way, and then in an instant, A burst of boundless sword intent burst out, it is difficult to describe its vastness and magnificence.

laugh!

A white silk thread suddenly appeared in sight, and in an instant, the vast Milky Way crossed it and broke in the middle!

When Song Zhou's vision went into a daze and returned to normal, he still saw the vast mountain forest, but Hexuan's figure retreating and leaping into the distance was silently frozen in mid-air.

Then.

A scene that everyone present will never forget happened.

He saw everything in sight, with He Xuan's figure leaping in mid-air as the center, a thread appeared across the top and bottom, stretching through the mountains and forests until the end of the line of sight, and soon He Xuan's body and hundreds of people behind him The ancient trees in Zhangshan Forest were all split into two, as if the Milky Way falling from the sky was cut in half!

All the officials stood frozen on the spot, looking at this shocking scene with sluggish expressions. For a moment they felt as if they were in a dream, and even the bandits were almost frozen in place.

"..."

Song Zhou's eyes were also full of shock. In fact, he was not very sure about Chen Mu's identity at first. After all, compared with Chen Mu today, although his appearance has not changed much from that of many years ago, there is a big difference in temperament. As soon as I saw him, I felt that he had the aura of a big shot. Even though he had a calm demeanor, he still gave people a feeling of being calm and powerful.

But now Chen Mu has returned to being ordinary, looking like an ordinary mountain dweller, simple and unremarkable. Compared with the deeds he has heard over the years, he is not like the legendary man at all. However, when he saw this dead leaf as a knife, evolving the river-breaking knife technique, as if he could cut off the Milky Way, he naturally had no doubts in his heart.

Boom! Boom! Boom!!!

In the distance, He Xuan's upper body was still frozen in the air, his eyes were wide open, as if he still had some disbelief, but after a short stagnation, he finally fell down, along with the countless towering ancient trees that were cut off.

Amidst the roars, Song Zhou bowed respectfully to Chen Mu.

"Uncle."

"Is Miao'er okay now?"

Chen Mu did not look at He Xuan, but only looked at Song Zhou, and asked in a calm tone.

When he found the Song family in Anyu County, he only arranged some future affairs for the young Song Zhou and Song Miao, and did not take care of them afterwards. Now he saw Song Zhou doing well, and he had reached the state of Yijin after practicing for several years.

"Thank you for your concern, uncle. My sister married into the Yu family and now lives in the county town. She has a pair of children and lives a happy life."

Song Zhou responded respectfully.

Chen Mu couldn't help but reveal a trace of nostalgia when he heard Song Zhou's answer. He remembered that when he found the Song family in Anyu, Song Miao was only twelve or thirteen years old. Now she is eighteen or nineteen years old, married and has children. Time has passed unnoticed.

He and his close friends, Xu Hongyu and Chen Yue, all practiced martial arts. Even in their twenties and thirties, they did not look old at all. If they did not wear their hair in a bun, they would still look like young girls. However, for those who did not know martial arts, it was normal to get married at the age of fifteen or sixteen. After all, in this world, ordinary people who could live past fifty were already considered to have a long life.

"Okay."

Chen Mu responded with a slight sigh.

After saying that, he turned around and did not say much. After a few steps, his figure disappeared silently in the dense forest, leaving behind Song Zhou, who was a little regretful that he could not listen to Chen Mu's teachings, and a group of officials and bandits standing there in a daze.
