Sword Qi to the Sky

Chapter 59 For the World
Outside the mountain, the ground was shaking and a murderous atmosphere filled the air.

On the earth, a huge army was marching with thousands of horses galloping.

The two people leading the front, one of them was Xu Bin, the governor of Chuzhou, and the other was wearing a mask, and the warhorse he was sitting on had fiery red eyes, and the breath he exhaled carried a hot air flow. Not only his warhorse, but all his warhorses were different, and their sizes were much larger than ordinary horses.

The soldiers on the war horses all exuded a strong energy. This legion was composed of elite troops dispatched from all over the place, and was composed of the Demon Slaying Division and the Demon Suppression Army. Even the people in the Demon Suppression Army were all at the Grandmaster level or above.

And they are just the advance legion. Such a powerful legion is not the main force this time.

When the war horses galloped, any demons and monsters passing by avoided them and fled madly.

Soon, they arrived outside the mountain village.

Xu Bin pulled the reins, the horse stopped, and raised his hand, and immediately the army behind him also stopped.

"Lishan is ahead." Xu Bin said with a solemn expression.

As the prefect of Chuzhou, he had long heard of Li Shan's great name. This time, the imperial court assigned him a task to start from Fulong Villa, and he completed it successfully.

But the next task was not something he was qualified to lead.

Even as the governor of a state, he was still no match for a behemoth like Lishan.

The order he received this time was to be responsible for some finishing tasks.

"Is Lishan ahead?" The masked man next to him looked forward with a serious look in his eyes.

Lishan is a legendary place for thousands of years. In the past, even the imperial court had to give in when facing Lishan.

But now that Lishan is in decline, the imperial court no longer wants to let Lishan catch its breath.

Of course, there are also various forces in Dali.

Xu Bin nodded. It was an honor to be able to participate in the battle to destroy Lishan.

Riding on the warhorse, Xu Bin looked at the village ahead.

He looked to the far left and right again, and saw people arriving here one after another. They were all forces from all sides of Dali who had heard the news.

The collapse of a behemoth like Lishan will be a huge opportunity. Who wouldn’t want to get a piece of the pie?

…………

Outside the mountain village, the villagers gathered together and they all heard the noise outside the village.

The villagers walked in the village, talking about it.

"What happened?"

"The court is going to move Lishan, I'm afraid it's time."

"Mr. Mu is here." At this time, the villagers looked in one direction and saw Mu Changqing walking towards them.

"Mr. Mu, that group of people before, and the noise outside, are they people sent by the court?" someone asked.

Mu Changqing stopped in front of the crowd with a book in his hand.

Everyone saluted Mu Changqing, appearing extremely polite and showing great respect for this teaching student.

Every generation in Lishan Village will have a teaching student to enlighten the children in the village. If they are qualified, they will be sent to Lishan to practice.

Mu Changqing is the teacher of this generation, so the villagers respect him very much.

Mu Changqing also bowed to the villagers in response, then looked up and spoke to the crowd.

"To be honest with you elders, the imperial court will take action against Lishan. The imperial court army has already arrived, and more people will come from the imperial court later. In addition to the imperial court, many sects in Dali will also take advantage of the situation."

"Therefore, Changqing would like to ask you to move out of the village."

There was silence for a moment, and then everyone realized what was going to happen. Mu Changqing asked them to move out of the village, and they naturally understood what that meant.

Leaving the mountain, it might be dangerous this time.

"I wonder what it is. Just come and I will treat them well." The butcher waved his hand and said, "If there is nothing else, I will go back to chop the meat. Anyone who wants to eat meat can come and get it. Take as much as you want."

Having said that, he turned and walked back.

"I'm going back to work as a blacksmith. If you don't have any suitable tools, come to me. I'll give them to you for free this time." The blacksmith said this and left with the butcher.

"Let's go, I'm hungry, and I still need to cook."

"Mr. Mu, I'm old, how can I move?"

"Where are the children?" Mu Changqing asked.

"Mr. Mu, you can handle it. They are all your students. I'll leave it to you."

"That's right, leave it to Mr. Mu. Once a teacher, always a father. Mr. Mu, remember to tell them that this is their root, and remember to come back and visit when they grow up."

"Mr. Mu, my Xiaoqi is practicing in the mountains, and I ask you to take care of her." Aunt Wang said, "If Xiaofan likes her, let her follow Xiaofan and tell her that it was her mother who asked her to do so."

In the blink of an eye, all the villagers left.

Mu Changqing stared at the scene in front of him in shock for a moment, then shook his head and smiled bitterly.

An old man nearby said, “No one is afraid of death when he leaves the mountain.”

This old man is the village chief of Lishan Village and is nearly 70 years old.

According to the older generation, Lishan Village has been here for thousands of years.

At that time, demons were rampant and they kept humans in captivity, treating them like livestock, and ate them when they grew up. This went on for generations.

Until one day, a group of great practitioners came from the mountain and founded a sect. Since then, the village has no longer been a food source for animals.

Later, some people in the village began to practice, and they learned how to hunt and hunt monsters.

When he was hungry, he went to the mountains to kill monsters and eat them.

This tradition has been maintained to this day.

From being kept in captivity by monsters to eating monsters.

Leave the mountain village, but don’t forget your roots.

They have been kept captive by monsters on this land for thousands of years. Now, let them go?
It doesn’t matter if the village is gone, they have descendants.

"Mr. Mu." The old man looked at Mu Changqing beside him.

"Village chief." Mu Changqing responded.

"Remember to tell the children that Lishan is their home. If the imperial court makes Lishan disappear, then remember..." The village chief looked up into the distance, exhaled a puff of smoke, and said slowly: "Overthrow this Dali."

As he spoke, the village chief slowly walked away, still muttering to himself: "If one generation doesn't work, then two generations will do. If two generations don't work, then three generations will do. I guess there will always be a generation that can do it, my descendants."

Lishan Village has never been protected by the imperial court. They only know Lishan, not the imperial court.

If the imperial court wants to destroy Lishan, then it should destroy Dali.

Mu Changqing bowed to the village chief's departing back and said, "Changqing will remember this."

The village has returned to its peaceful state. Children are playing in the distance, smoke from cooking fires is rising, and the place is quiet and peaceful.

A smile appeared in Mu Changqing's clear eyes.

He has been teaching in a mountain village for many years, but today the villagers in the village taught him a lesson.

The villagers don’t understand so many principles, but they don’t care about life and death, but they care about gratitude and revenge.

Leave the mountains, leave the mountains!
He turned his head and looked at the green mountains in the distance, even though the Dali Dynasty was no longer there.

But, the green mountains remain!

With a step, Mu Changqing stepped into the air and headed towards the green mountain.

The children playing in the distance looked towards Mu Changqing, and someone exclaimed, "The master is flying."

"Sir, you can fly, too."

The children cheered and looked at their teacher. Mu Changqing had never shown his skills in front of the children, so many children wondered whether their teacher could be as good as the immortals on the mountain.

They were excited because they saw that Mu Changqing could fly.

Away from the mountain, on the Shenxiu Peak, on the edge of the cliff, an old blind man sat there quietly, facing the direction of the sea of ​​clouds.

There were footsteps behind him, and someone shouted, "Master."

"Changqing." The old blind man called out. Mu Changqing walked forward and sat down next to his master. He said, "The people from the imperial court are almost outside the village, and there are still many people spying in secret. I believe that many forces have arrived in Lishan, but the people in the village are unwilling to leave."

"It's human nature." The old blind man said softly, "They have been here for a thousand years. The mountain is their root. How can they just leave?"

"What about the children?" Mu Changqing asked.

"You take the children with you," said the old blind man.

"Master, I don't want to leave either." said Mu Changqing, who was also a disciple of Lishan.

"You have more important things to do." The old blind man responded: "Don't forget what Master has entrusted to you."

Mu Changqing fell silent when he remembered his master's instructions to him, and asked, "Master, what about you?"

"I will live too." The old blind man looked into the distance and said, "Although I am blind, I still want to see until that day comes."

Mu Changqing also looked in the direction the old blind man was facing.

That is the direction of the Sword Valley.

"Can junior brother do it?" Mu Changqing asked.

"Changqing, what do you think of Xiaofan?" asked the old blind man.

"Junior brother is of course great." Mu Changqing responded. After all, he had watched Li Fan grow up, so he naturally understood him.

The Lishan inheritance places the most importance on character. He also knows that the reason why the master chose Xiaofan is not only because of his talent in swordsmanship, but also because of his character. Several things that happened in the past, his junior brother, also touched him deeply.
"If that's the case, then it will work." The old blind man smiled and said, "Junior brother has already met your master. I'm sure he likes it too."

"I haven't met my master yet." Mu Changqing sighed.

"It would be the same if your junior brother saw it for you." The old blind man said, "Changqing, will you blame me?"

"No." Mu Changqing responded in a firm voice.

"Yes." The old blind man nodded: "Ruyu used to complain, but after what happened, I think she won't complain anymore. It's just that you have suffered."

"To leave the mountain." Mu Changqing said.

“To get away from the mountain.”

The old blind man murmured to himself, was silent for a while, and then spoke again.

"For the world!"
