That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 115 Reminiscing the past and only asking for her

Zhang Wubing signaled Xu Beiyou to pick up Lin Jinxiu, and the two came to the outer hall. After looking around, he sighed, "I have practiced Buddhism in Buddhism for more than ten years. In other words, these women are unfortunate people who were taken captive. It would be inappropriate to put them in such a wilderness. It is better to hand them over to this little girl's caravan and let her make proper arrangements. As for the temple According to Buddhist customs, the dead monks should be cremated."

Xu Beiyou nodded, and walked out of the temple first with Lin Jinxiu in his arms.

Zhang Wubing shook his monk's robe, and many women who passed out flew up by themselves, like a sword fairy holding a sword, and flew to the outside of the temple. The tractor flew into the temple, and then Zhang Wubing came out of the temple gate, but without any movement from him, the whole temple was suddenly ablaze and thick smoke billowed.

A big fire can not only burn this filthy place, but also completely erase the traces of Xu Beiyou, so as not to be seen by the Town Demon Palace.

Xu Beiyou walked out for a while, looked back, and happened to see a strange scene, Zhang Wubing was walking in front of the garden, and several women were flying in the air, following behind, purely using Qi to achieve this level, looking at the leopard in the tube, Zhang Wubing's The cultivation base is evident.

Xu Beiyou couldn't help admiring: "What a solid cultivation base."

Zhang Wubing said expressionlessly: "Don't rush back to the caravan, find a place to rest temporarily, I still have a few words to tell you."

When the group of people came to a remote place not far from the caravan station, Zhang Wubing asked about the battle on Biyou Island that day, Xu Beiyou came with him one by one, and Zhang Wubing couldn't help sighing: "You said that I have a high cultivation base. Absolutely, but I can't go to watch the battle. In other words, my cultivation base is one line lower than these nine people, and Murong Xuanyin and Wanyan Beiyue are half a chip higher than the others. Although the line of separation sounds light, it is actually a world of difference. The respected master Gong Sun Zhongmou is also on this line. Originally, if he can go further to the realm of the eighteenth floor, and then use the sword 36 to make Zhu Xian Fighting against Qiuye may not be able to shake the No.1 throne of the Taoist leader in the world, but it is a pity that he is one step short."

Xu Beiyou's eyes were gloomy and he didn't speak.

Zhang Wubing sighed and said: "My cultivation base was born out of the battle on the battlefield. It can be regarded as the way of a military strategist. I am good at fighting and it is difficult to find longevity. In the eyes of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, which are beyond the world, I can only be regarded as heresy. I will go to Buddhism to seek a dignified way.”

Xu Beiyou said: "Since ancient times, there has been a saying of using strength to prove the Tao. Is it a lie?"

Zhang Wubing sat cross-legged, put his hands on his knees, shook his head and said: "Those who prove the way with strength, yes, the founder of your Sword Sect is the founder of your sword sect, but after the founder of the sect, is there any ancestor of the sword sect who can ascend to the ascent?" ? There are very few people who can die well. Even if it is as strong as your master swordsman Shangguan Xianchen, he will end up dead in the end. Therefore, it is a rough path to prove the way with strength, and you can go straight to the top of the mountain. Most people have fallen off the cliff halfway, and they are lost."

Xu Beiyou smiled, and said softly, "Will I do the same?"

Zhang Wubing glanced at the stars in the night sky above his head, and said calmly: "When Gongsun Zhong was defeated by the late emperor, he was very depressed for a while and disappeared. He almost didn't have a place among his peers. Walking in all directions, your vision begins to open, you get rid of your own shackles, your swordsmanship is improving rapidly, and you come from behind, and once again stand shoulder to shoulder with Qiu Ye and others. Gongsun Zhongmou was already 30 years old when he took this step, and you are only at the age of the crown. It is really good to do what Gongsun Zhongmou did back then."

Xu Beiyou smiled wryly and said: "It's just being forced to do nothing. If there is a choice, who would like the son of a daughter to sit down?"

Zhang Wubing stared into the young man's eyes, and said in a deep voice, "For those who are helpless, there is nothing you can do. It is because there are too many helplessness in this world, so you don't hesitate to risk yourself again and again to get yourself out of this situation."

Xu Beiyou nodded in agreement and said, "Longevity, freedom, and freedom. If you want to be free and unrestrained, you can't do without fame and fortune. Whether it's seeking immortality or being a master, what you've been looking for since ancient times is nothing more than this."

Zhang Wubing finally smiled and said: "That's right, it hits the nail on the head."

Then the two remained silent.

Xu Beiyou began to sit cross-legged to heal his injuries.

Zhang Wubing sat at the side, quietly looking at Xu Beiyou.

The last time he met Gongsun Zhongmou in the Thousand Buddha Cave, Gongsun Zhongmou mentioned himself as an apprentice many times, derogating less and praising him more in his words, thinking that Xu Beiyou's future achievements will not be lower than Qiuye's apprentice Qi Xianyun, and maybe in the future it will be A peerless sword fairy who can wrestle with Daomen.Gongsun Zhongmou also said that this young man has an excellent heart. Although his talent is not as good as Qi Xianyun's, but he can make up for it with his Twelve Swords of Jianzong. As long as he doesn't die halfway, he will definitely have a place in the world in the future. However, there are also shortcomings. I have not experienced many things in the world, and I can't make a decisive decision. I have a lot of benevolence of a woman.

Although Zhang Wubing is also a man of ups and downs in the officialdom, he is old and sophisticated, but after all he still has a bit of a warrior's straightforward temperament, so he has a different view from Gongsun Zhongmou on this. In his opinion, young people must have With a bit of blood and loyalty, if you have the depths of a city at a young age, and the dangers of mountains and rivers in your heart, even to the point where they, the elders, would be afraid, then it would be a bit hateful and too unpleasant.

Zhang Wubing glanced at Lin Jinxiu who was nestled in Xu Beiyou's arms. Although the little girl had just escaped from danger, she still had a peaceful expression in her sleep.Zhang Wubing sighed softly for no reason, when he had not surrendered to the late emperor Xiao Yu, he swung his sword and fought so many times, narrowly escaped death again and again, for whom?Did that high-ranking she ever know?I'm afraid she didn't know what that young man named Zhang Dingguo was thinking until she was finally defeated and captured?Compared with the young man named Xu Beiyou in front of him, isn't he more than a step behind?
Zhang Dingguo turned his head to look in the direction of Jiangnan, and sighed again.Back then, she was captured and imprisoned by Emperor Xiao alive, so after she was defeated and captured, she chose to submit to Emperor Xiao, was given the name Zhang Wubing, and began to work for Emperor Xiao.After the founding of Daqi, Emperor Xiao released her, she went to live in seclusion in the south of the Yangtze River, and never heard from her since then, but he began to climb the ranks of Daqi's court, and won the title of a sick tiger, and the two parted ways.Now that he has returned to the imperial court after going through ups and downs, the reason why he went to Jiangnan before that was just to see her again.

Zhang Xueyao, Xu Beiyou's teacher's mother, was a close friend with her in the early years, and also settled in Jiangnan, so he deliberately made friends with Gongsun Zhongmou and Xu Beiyou's master and apprentice, hoping to get news about her from Zhang Xueyao.

The qi in Xu Beiyou's body moved like a dragon and a tiger, and when it came to the qi palace in his chest, it was a little stagnant, Zhang Wubing pointed his finger to help him cross the barrier.

With Zhang Wubing helping him, Xu Beiyou's complexion gradually calmed down, and a rosy color appeared amidst the paleness.

About half an hour later, Xu Beiyou opened his eyes, looked at the sky that was gradually turning dark blue, and asked, "Just now you said you have something to explain, can you say it now?"

Zhang Wubing nodded, and said slowly: "After dawn, you take the little girl and these women back to the caravan, I will accompany you in secret, and I will leave after I reach Qizhou. Now the Taoist sect is very powerful , invincible, you can only take it slowly, the imperial court is your best choice, and with the Sword Qi Lingkong Hall, you will have the capital to bargain with His Majesty, so it is the most important thing for you to meet Zhang Xueyao when you go to Jiangdu this time. Now Gongsun Zhongmou is dead, no matter how big Zhang Xueyao's grievances are, they have almost dissipated, and the two of them have no children, and you are the only heir of Gongsun Zhongmou, Zhang Xueyao should not make things difficult for you."

Xu Beiyou hummed heavily, and said with firm eyes: "No matter what, she is my teacher's wife. If there is any resentment in my heart, then I will bear it all. This is for Jianzong, and even more for Master."

Xu Beiyou added, "Of course it's also for our date."

Zhang Wubing smiled happily and said, "Gongsun Zhongmou really took in a good apprentice."
