Great Xuanwu Sheng

Chapter 529 The cycle of time

[Original Tao: Years (prototype)]

[Experience: 3000 points]

Buzz!

With a thought, Chen Mu chose promotion on the system panel, and a golden stream of light flashed across the system panel, and all the accumulated experience was quickly cleared to zero.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Mu felt that his whole person fell into a trance and fell into boundless darkness. He could no longer feel his body, and only a little consciousness drifted into the depths of endless darkness.

"Is it the same dead place as last time?"

This thought flashed through Chen Mu's mind, but then he was slightly startled and realized something was wrong.

Although everything nearby is dim, you can't feel any power of the void, and if you look carefully, it's not absolute darkness here, but as if you are in a dark house.

and.

Chen Mu also clearly felt his body.

It's just that this body is extremely weak compared to his demigod body in the Immortal Realm. It is extremely weak and is almost the same as a mortal. The energy and blood in the body are also relatively weak, and there is no effort in the body.

Because he had the experience of escaping into the dead void the last time he comprehended the Tao of the Void, Chen Mu was not at a loss this time. Instead, after getting used to his frail body for a while, he stood up, groped for a ray of light, and pushed it away. A door.

outside the door.

In the dim sky, there was only a looming bright moon.

The dim moonlight shone into the house along the door, but saw that the house was in a mess. A simple bow hung on the wall, and a three-pointed spear was placed next to it. In addition, there were some scattered animal skins hanging everywhere. .

This looks like a hunting house.

Chen Mu looked at his body and saw that he was wearing a simple sheepskin fur. It seemed that he had come to this unknown world and became an ordinary hunter here.

Chen Mu clenched his fist and felt that all the power had disappeared. The world in this world seemed very strange. Under the restrictions of the rules, he was completely unable to mobilize the power of the world.

"interesting."

"Has deprivation restricted all my abilities and allowed me to experience the passage of time in the most ordinary state?"

Chen Mu roughly understood the current situation.

years,

Compared with the void and creation, its power is more ethereal, more like a witness, and more difficult to reach.

The stronger the power he possesses, the harder it is to feel the passage of time and realize the avenue of time. Therefore, the system panel pulls his consciousness to this world, where he cannot sense the avenue of void, and the operation of the rules of heaven and earth cannot be felt. Extremely rigorous, unable to mobilize the power of heaven and earth to allow him to return to the ordinary world, so as to experience the avenue of time.

"That's fine."

“Whatever comes, let’s make peace with it.”

After Chen Mu shook his head slightly, he turned back to the house and closed the door.

The next day.

In the morning, the sun rises.

He walked out of the room, found some firewood in the woodshed, lit a fire, and then dug out some dried meat, added some scattered wild vegetables, and cooked a pot of mediocre broth.

Before, he was the Martial Saint of the Daxuan world. He took part in creation, breathed in the power of heaven and earth, and could reorganize all things in a single thought. Now he suddenly returned to the most ordinary period. Even making a fire had to use flint and tinder, which took a while. , so much so that I felt a little uncomfortable in a short period of time.

Take the cooked broth.

Chen Mu took a tentative sip and found that the taste was strange and difficult to swallow. However, the constant hunger in his stomach urged him to drink the broth as quickly as possible.

Chen Mu stared at the broth for a while and suddenly burst into laughter:

"Ha ha ha ha."

This feeling of hunger is so memorable. Ever since he succeeded in practicing Qigong and reached the state of the five internal organs, he has never felt the feeling of hunger again. After that, he completely abstained from grains, ate wind and drank dew, and no longer had any need for food. He only ate occasionally. I just tasted delicious food, drank top-notch spiritual tea, and ate delicacies from mountains and seas.

He has not cooked for many years. In his early years, his cooking skills were pretty good, but now the broth he makes is unpalatable.

After laughing for a while,

Chen Mu shook his head, picked up the bowl in his hand, and then swallowed it.

After drinking the broth and relieving his hunger, Chen Mu got into position and tentatively practiced two sets of boxing techniques. As a result, the boxing techniques only gave him the feeling of strengthening his body and could not condense any blood.

Chen Mu has a very calm mind and is unable to practice martial arts, which shows that the rules of heaven and earth in this world not only limit the mobilization of the power of heaven and earth, but also prohibit all 'extraordinary' possibilities.

He came here just to understand the avenue of time, and there was no need to care about anything else.

From being a high-ranking martial saint to returning to the world, although he was not used to it at first, Chen Mu soon calmed down. He temporarily left everything in the world of Daxuan behind, and the evil disasters were also forgotten. Throw it aside and start to seriously deal with the mortal life in front of you.

He tidied up the house and sorted out some dried meat, a small amount of rice and noodles, and the portions were not large. If he lived frugally, it would be enough for about ten days and a half.

Chen Mu shook his head slightly.

He put away the rations, thought for a while, then sat down on a piece of bluestone in front of the door, pondered and closed his eyes, trying to understand the avenue of time.

But the situation this time was indeed different from the last time in the dead void. The last time in the dead void, he could feel that he was almost in the essence of the void and could directly feel the mystery of the void. But this time he understood carefully, But he can't feel anything, and he can't touch the power of the Tao of Time in this world.

Chen Mu sat on the bluestone in front of the door until dusk, but he still had no more insights into the avenue of time.

Feel the hunger in your belly.

He finally slowly opened his eyes.

"That's all, take your time."

Judging from what happened last time, no matter how long he stays in this world, it should only be a moment when he returns, so he has endless time to understand the years here, and he doesn't have to be too impatient.

Since the system panel placed him in such a world, it must have its own unique purpose.

This day.

As an outsider, Chen Mu calmly settled down on Qingcheng Mountain as an Orion.

He gets up every morning and takes a nap, watching the sun rise in the east and set in the west, trying to feel the changes of the years, but he has gained little.

Half a month later.

The stored rations will be used up.

In order to avoid starving to death, Chen Mu finally picked up the simple long bow and the iron fork and prepared to go hunting in the mountains.

After turning the remaining rations into simple flour cakes and carrying them with him, Chen Mu entered the mountain with a long bow and an iron fork.

There was silence in the mountains. From time to time, the wind blew, making the leaves rustle. There were ghosts in the distance, and from time to time something would startle away. But when everything fell into Chen Mu's eyes, he was very calm.

Although he has a weak mortal body and cannot mobilize any extraordinary power, he is the Great Xuan Martial Saint after all!

With the iron fork in his hand alone, wolves, insects, tigers and leopards are no match for him. Unless it is a monster, it can pose some threat to him, but it must be a monster above a certain level, a monster of the first or second level, in his eyes It’s nothing.

Since the rules of heaven and earth operate in this world and limit the birth of extraordinary beings, then there will probably be no monsters.

Go deeper into the forest.

Not long after.

Chen Mu slowed down and wherever he looked, he could see a gray rabbit crouching among the gray leaves.

He gently took off the simple long bow on his back, took out a sharpened wooden arrow from his pocket, pointed the bow at the gray rabbit, and then shot out!

laugh!

The simple arrow drew an arc and accurately penetrated the hare's head, killing it with one blow!

Chen Mu looked at this scene and put away his long bow with a calm expression.

In fact, he didn't even need to look to know that this arrow would definitely hit. After all, he was an unparalleled martial saint. Even if he did not have extraordinary power now, his exquisite control of power was the pinnacle of the common world, the pinnacle.

Chen Mu strode towards the forest, and soon came to the side of the hare. He picked it up, weighed it briefly, and then put it in his bag.

But at this moment, his ears suddenly twitched and he felt an evil wind coming. So without thinking, he threw himself forward and rolled on the ground, avoiding the sudden attack.

Look back. What I saw was a colorful beast, not a tiger, but a leopard!

The leopard was extremely agile in its movements. It missed the target once it pounced, and then it pounced again, biting Chen Mu's neck and locking Chen Mu's vitals. The whole movement was extremely flexible and showed its ferocity!

But in the face of the leopard's pounce, Chen Mu, who had just landed on the ground and rolled to avoid it, did not panic at all. He had already picked up the iron fork while rolling. At this time, he only held the iron fork and thrust it upward. One stab.

laugh!

The inferior iron fork stabbed directly into the chest of the leopard!

At the same time, Chen Mu stood up straight, pressed the iron fork against the leopard's body, then suddenly exerted force and sent it forward.

"roar!"

The leopard bared its teeth and let out a roar. Its body was pushed out by Chen Mu. After landing, it turned over, got into the jungle, and fled far away.

But Chen Mu's fork just now had accurately pierced its chest and its vitals. At this time, escaping was just a last desperate struggle. As expected, he only managed to escape for a few steps before falling to the ground. The limbs began to twitch.

Shake his head,

Chen Mu picked up the steel fork and walked over. Looking at the leopard that was gradually dying, he took out a fairly sharp dagger and began to cut the leopard's body, peeling off a complete leopard skin.

Although he had been living in the mountains during this period, when he was walking up the mountains, he saw the scene in the distance. There was a faint town in the distant mountains. A complete leopard skin must be worth some money. , can be exchanged for some rations.

…

"Hey, it's Brother Qiu. This is a good prey. Let's see, Huo, what a piece of leopard skin. I'm afraid this leopard is not small. Brother Qiu can take it down by himself. This is really a trick. sharp."

"That's right, in these dozens of miles, when it comes to hunters, Brother Qiu is all about this."

"Brother Qiu, I said you are not young anymore. Tomorrow I will find someone to help you find a matchmaker and a wife? You learned your hunting skills from your father, so don't give up. Pass it on."

Chen Mu came to a town about ten miles away from his residence.

Everyone in town seemed to know him.

From the people in the town, he probably knew that the hunter's name was Qiu Mu, and he was quite famous in the neighborhood because he was one of the few lone hunters. Generally, within the Qingcheng Mountain area, only two or three hunters dared to do so. Go deep.

After all, there are not only jackals and leopards in the mountains, but also tigers and large insects. Those kinds of things are not something that an ordinary hunter can deal with alone. Even if two or three experienced hunters team up, one careless move may be dangerous.

Chen Mu only responded to the greetings of these 'acquaintances' in an easy-going manner. After exchanging the hunting harvest in the town for the food supplies he needed, he returned all the way to his residence in the mountain and continued to wake up and take a nap. , comprehend the years.

in this way.

Spring goes and autumn comes, and before we know it, it has been nearly ten years.

In Qingcheng Town at the foot of the mountain, people's name for Chen Mu gradually changed from 'Brother Qiu' to 'Master Qiu'.

Mr. Qiu, a famous headhunter, was known to everyone for hundreds of miles around. He once killed tigers and black blind men alone in the depths of Qingcheng Mountain. He also encountered a pack of wolves and killed a pack of more than twenty wild wolves. Kill San and hunted eight of them with my own hands!

"Master Qiu."

A man wearing a long gown and two servants came to the mountain and outside the hut where Chen Mu lived. He called into the house: "Master Qiu, I'm Li Youde, I'm here to buy a high-quality tiger skin..." "

Squeak.

The wooden door was pushed open.

Chen Mu walked out of the door. He was thin, but his eyes shone with a captivating light. He said, "Want to buy tiger skin? What are you buying it for?"

"It's like this. Mr. Liu in the city will have his fortieth birthday in half a month. I plan to send a pair of high-quality tiger skins to celebrate his birthday...I heard that Mr. Qiu has it here. If Mr. Qiu is willing to give this tiger skin, Pi, let me put in a good word for you at Fourth Master Liu. Maybe when Fourth Master Liu is happy, he can be given an official position. When the time comes, wouldn’t it be more enjoyable to be a master in the city than in this mountain?”

Li Youde said to Chen Mu with a smile.

"Fourth Master Liu in the city?"

Chen Mu chewed the name for a while, then snorted softly and slammed the door: "Not for sale!"

Although he rarely goes down the mountain, he occasionally goes to the town. He has heard that there is a certain Mr. Liu in the city who bullies men and women and does all kinds of evil. Although he has no interest in caring about these worldly things, when Hupi finds him here, then Complacency depends on his mood.

"…Well."

Li Youde was rejected, and his face suddenly darkened.

He snorted coldly, threw away his hands and took the two servants down the mountain. The more he thought about it on the way, the angrier he became. He snorted coldly: "Master Qiu? Bah, he is just a poor hunter. He dares to show off in front of me, and dares to treat Liu Si I'm disrespectful, I'm looking for death!"

Half a month later.

Chen Mu went hunting in the mountains and went deep into the forests.

That night, the cabin where he lived caught fire, and the fire was raging. When he came back carrying a deer with a steel fork, he saw a ruins. Everything in the ruins had been burned, except for a pair of tiger skins. any trace.

“…”

Chen Mu glanced at the house that was burned to ashes with an expressionless expression.

He knew who probably did this, and there was no anger in his heart. He was still very calm. All he cared about was the way of time. However, after more than ten years passed, he still didn't have much understanding of the way of time.

"Years, what are years?"

"Do you want me to be detached from the world and not care about the mortal world, or do you want me to do whatever you want, or something else?"

Chen Mu shook his head.

He immediately picked up the steel fork in his hand, dropped the hunted sika deer, and quietly left the mountain.

A few days later.

Something happened that shocked Baili. When the news reached the town at the foot of the mountain, the whole town exploded.

Mr. Qiu, a headhunter who lives on Qingcheng Mountain, went to the city to celebrate the birthday of Mr. Liu with a steel fork in his hand. He took away a tiger skin at the banquet and washed the birthday banquet with blood with a steel fork. He stabbed Mr. Liu to death on the spot and killed him. More than twenty servants, after fighting a **** path, disappeared without a trace!

The city was in chaos, with a large number of officers and soldiers, and extensive searches. The Liu family not only mobilized the government to arrest Master Qiu, but even placed a reward on Master Qiu in the underworld. If you report accurate information, you can get twenty taels of silver. If you get Master Qiu's head, you can get a hundred taels, and if you capture him alive, you can get a reward of three hundred taels of silver!

The town was also in a frenzy over it. Although they hated Fourth Master Liu and applauded Master Qiu's actions, there were still some people who quietly ran around looking for traces of Master Qiu.

finally.

Someone found it.

Mr. Qiu didn't go anywhere, but just wore a tiger skin and held a steel fork, sitting in front of the burned-out house on the mountain.

The people they found did not dare to step forward and take action, but quietly passed the news back. In less than half an hour, a large number of officers, soldiers and domestic slaves came up the mountain carrying swords, guns and sticks. Hundreds of people were sitting in the ruins. Mr. Qiu was surrounded by people.

"Bold Qiu Mu, the following criminals are here to kill Liu Fuyamen. The officers and soldiers have arrived, and they are still captured without restraint!"

There were house slaves shouting loudly and carrying sticks, but they did not dare to come forward.

I saw Mr. Qiu sitting in the ruins, showing no reaction to the shouts, and no action in the face of hundreds of officers and soldiers.

Many officers and soldiers, hundreds of them, felt a lot of pressure when facing Master Qiu. After all, this was a murderer carrying a steel fork. One person dared to kill dozens of people. It was a rare encounter in decades, even if he was heavily surrounded. , and no one dared to take action rashly.

For a while.

Many officers and soldiers only held weapons in their hands and stepped forward cautiously.

Master Qiu and the officers and soldiers had their spears brought to him, but he still sat still, with the long knife on his neck, still motionless. Finally, someone boldly came forward to test, and found that the murderous man who shocked hundreds of miles with his killings had already been killed. There was no sound.

"Dead...dead?!"

Some people looked at each other.

Master Qiu's deeds came to an abrupt end, but his story spread throughout Qingcheng Mountain. No one knew about it for hundreds of miles. It became a story that many people talked about when chatting after tea. The name also As the story spread widely, many years later, it was even made into a scene of "Ye Qiu killed Liu Si Ye in anger".

But in the end, as the dynasty changed and the world changed, all this fell silent and disappeared.

What are years?

High in the sky, Chen Mu's gaze was overlooking all of this, and he still had this thought in his mind. Immediately, his vision changed, and his consciousness was once again pulled into the world in front of him.

This time, he was no longer a lonely hunter, but was born into a wealthy family. When he woke up, he was just a baby.

Chen Mu vaguely understood that this time the system panel should have put him in a state of continuous reincarnation. From this mundane mortal reincarnation, he must clearly understand the true meaning of the Tao of Time, and then truly enter the Tao.

"Then go ahead."

Chen Mu didn't care. He left everything behind, threw himself into a new reincarnation, and continued to understand the avenue of time.
