Zhu Tian: A journey of spiritual practice starting from Joy of Life

Chapter 270 The Sword Debate at the Guanyin Platform is About to Begin

Upon hearing this, Chisongzi was completely bewildered and had no idea how to answer Leng Feibai's question.

Upon seeing this, Bei Mingzi calmly said, "Qingyang also brought up this issue after he became my disciple."

Chishongzi looked curious upon hearing this and quickly asked, "Then what did Martial Uncle answer?"

Bei Mingzi calmly replied, "I asked him what his answer was, and I still can't forget his answer to this day."

Chisongzi was stunned upon hearing this and quickly asked, "What did Junior Brother Qingyang say?"

He said that a person's body is a world unto itself. To follow the natural order is to follow one's own heart and do what one believes is right.

Bei Mingzi said calmly, "But you should also leave a shackle in your heart to warn yourself what you should and shouldn't do. If you follow your heart and cause suffering to all living beings, then it is not following your heart, but indulging in desires and doing whatever you want."

Chishongzi's lips moved slightly after hearing this, then he sighed and said, "Follow your heart and do what you believe is right. But also remember what you should and shouldn't do! It seems that Junior Brother is quite insightful in his understanding of life!"

After saying this, Chishongzi got up and left the house, all his doubts now gone.

After nightfall, Leng Feibai stayed in the kitchen and cooked the wild rabbit he had just caught into braised rabbit meat.

When Xiaomeng returned, there were three dishes on the table.

"came back!"

As Leng Feibai spoke, he ladled out the cooked bean rice and placed it in front of Xiaomeng.

"Brother!"

Looking at the dishes in front of her, Xiaomeng couldn't help but say, "Why is there so much war in the world? Can't people live in harmony?"

Looking at Xiaomeng's expression, Leng Feibai thought for a moment and then gave his answer.

"Because of ambition!"

After saying this, Leng Feibai picked up a piece of food with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth. He then said, "The feudal lords and kings of the various states are all ambitious people. They want to annex the other states, occupy the territory of the world, and thus become the new rulers of the world."

After listening to Leng Feibai's words, Xiaomeng looked like she understood but didn't quite.

Leng Feibai sighed, picked up a piece of chicken breast from the dishes in front of him, and said, "The whole world is like this piece of meat, and the feudal lords are like mad dogs coveting it. Once they have divided the meat up, they will start to covet the meat in other people's hands. In the end, the weak dog will be bitten to death by the strong dog, and the meat in their hands will fall into their hands."

Xiaomeng finally understood, biting her lip, and then asked, "So, will the world only be at peace when there's only one dog left in the world?"

"That's not necessarily true!"

Leng Feibai continued, "The last dog left must also be badly injured. At this point, it has two choices. Either it can stay and recover on the spot, relying on the meat in its mouth to heal itself, and then go after other meat. Or it can ignore its injuries, carry the meat in its mouth and go far away to find new meat."

Xiaomeng frowned upon hearing this. "What's the difference?"

"Of course!"

Leng Feibai's lips curled up. "If it's the former, a slow and steady development allows one to progress steadily. If there are no unforeseen circumstances, one will naturally live to a ripe old age. But if it's the latter, one will die halfway through the journey in a foreign land, one's body lying in the wilderness. After death, one's body will be torn apart and divided by wild dogs that lurk in the shadows, repeating the previous steps. A pack of mad dogs will then rob it, and after they've finished, the cycle will repeat itself."

Xiaomeng understood this time and couldn't help but ask, "Isn't there any way to solve all this?"

Leng Feibai did not answer, but silently said in his heart, "Apart from great wisdom, the only way to solve this kind of problem is to destroy the world."

Seeing Xiaomeng deep in thought, Leng Feibai continued, "You and Qingxuan are having a lot of fun?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiaomeng nodded and said, "Yeah, I really enjoy sparring with him. That guy could clearly beat me, but he deliberately admits defeat."

"is it?"

Leng Feibai didn't say much, but he couldn't help wanting to have a heart-to-heart talk with Qingxuan.

"Oh, right, senior brother!"

Xiaomeng couldn't help but ask, "Can you play the xun?"

Leng Feibai shook his head, indicating that he didn't know how to do that.

Xiaomeng's eyes flashed with disappointment after hearing this. She ate a few bites of rice and then went back to her room.

Seeing Xiaomeng's actions, Leng Feibai didn't say anything more. After clearing away the dishes, he went back to his room.

Xiaomeng and Qingxuan have already met, which means that soon, Qingxuan will deliberately go to the Tianzong Library to steal the Wanchuan Qiushui in order to avenge his brother, Lord Xinling, and will be expelled from the Renzong by Xiaoyaozi.

The assassination attempt on Marquis Tongwu failed, and his body was hung outside the city gate.

"Damn, the timeline is too messed up."

Leng Feibai couldn't help but cover his head; his mind was a jumbled mess, like paste.

The timeline of Qin's Moon is so confusing, it's impossible to tell the difference.

It was clearly four years after Ying Zheng unified the world.

Later on, it was revealed that Xiaomeng began her seclusion in the 27th year of the First Emperor's reign and emerged after ten years of seclusion.

That is, in the thirty-seventh year of Qin Shi Huang's reign, when Ying Zheng was about to pass away.

"It seems we still need to send birds to keep an eye on Crescent Moon Valley, Xianyang Palace, and even Sanghai City, so as not to miss the start of the plot."

Leng Feibai continued to plan in his mind. With his current strength, even if he took Tianming and those other kids out of the mirage and then blew up the ship, it wouldn't be a difficult task.

As for the next person, Under One Person, it wouldn't be difficult for him to deal with the Japanese outsiders with his own strength.

The only drawback is that we don't know how much spiritual energy is stored in that world.

If the quality of spiritual energy is too poor, I'm afraid I won't be able to use the Heavenly Talisman to cast the Blazing Sun God-Burning Talisman and the Purple Heaven Thunder Talisman.

Fortunately, he had already mastered the Divine Refinement Technique and Spirit Control Technique during this period. Once his clone finished refining all the mechanical puppets, killing them, whether they were Japanese aliens or ordinary soldiers, would be a piece of cake for him.

"If that doesn't work, I'll go into seclusion after the Sword Tournament at Guanmiao Terrace ends, and then come out when the Mirage is about to set sail. As for Ji Yan, I can just have my clone bring him back later since I have him watching over him."

After putting aside his thoughts, Leng Feibai quickly remembered something else and hurriedly sent a message to his clone who was waiting in the alchemy room.

Not long after, a booklet appeared out of nowhere in Leng Feibai's sight.

Since the place I've transmigrated to is most likely the modern era of "Under One Person," I might as well study "Rebirth Triple" in advance.

After all, he had already traveled through three worlds, and the conditions for opening the Gate of All Heavens were most likely the unresolved events of that world.

Although there are many unresolved issues in Under One Person, apart from some things that cannot be said, the only unresolved issues related to the plot are the sacrifice of the brave warriors who died in the assassination of Bihe Ren by the Tang Clan and the tragic death of Zuo Ruotong.

If it's the former, handling it yourself will be a piece of cake. But if it's the latter, you'll need to prepare well in advance.

Upon closer inspection, Leng Feibai quickly memorized the cultivation method of the Reverse Rebirth Triple Stage.

After comparing them, Leng Feibai quickly determined the rank of the Reverse Life Triple.

"Even within the Heavenly Sect, this technique is no less powerful than 'Harmony with the World,' but it seems to share a similar essence!" Leng Feibai put down the tome in his hand, pondering to himself, "If I modify the last illustration in the War God's Manual, perhaps I can find a way to ascend to immortality. Of course, it's not impossible to make further modifications. Anyway, there's nothing major happening right now..."

The next afternoon, at the back of Tianzong Mountain, Qingxuan held the xun in his hand and silently played it.

The melodious voice carried a hint of sadness, inevitably evoking a sense of melancholy in the listener.

When the song ended, Qingxuan put down the xun in his hand and couldn't help but sigh.

"You don't seem to be in a very good mood!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qingxuan turned around and saw Leng Feibai walking over with something wrapped in lotus leaves. A rich fragrance emanated from the lotus leaf wrapping.

Upon seeing this, Qingxuan's face flashed with surprise, and he said, "Uncle-Master Qingyang, the Heavenly and Human Sects mainly eat vegetarian food. It's rather...unseemly for you to be eating chicken here..."

"What are you afraid of!"

As Leng Feibai spoke, he tore a whole chicken leg out of the lotus leaf wrapping and tossed it to Qingxuan.

Qingxuan hurriedly caught it, and the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

"Food and drink are for bringing joy."

After Leng Feibai finished speaking, he secretly put a chicken leg in his mouth and said, "Sometimes, a little indulgence isn't a bad thing. Eat up!"

Upon hearing this, Qingxuan looked helpless, but still skillfully put the chicken leg into his mouth.

After watching Qingxuan finish the chicken leg, Leng Feibai suddenly said, "I remember, your secular name is Wei Wushang, right? Lord Xinling, Wei Wuji, who are you to me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qingxuan swayed, then gritted his teeth and said, "The Lord Xinling that my martial uncle mentioned is my elder brother."

"It must be very painful!"

Leng Feibai said calmly, "I am also someone's younger brother, so I know what it feels like to have your beloved older brother die with regret."

"Uncle Master!"

Qingxuan said coldly, "Are you trying to persuade me not to seek revenge?"

"Of course not. It's only natural to repay kindness with kindness and avenge wrongs."

Leng Feibai took another bite of chicken and continued, "But what you should be considering is who your enemies are! Who should you seek revenge against!"

At this point, a fierce glint flashed in Qingxuan's eyes, and he said angrily, "Of course I know. It was Luo Wang Jingni who killed my brother; it was Marquis Tongwu Wang Ben who led his troops to destroy my homeland. And him, King Zheng of Qin, he is the culprit behind all the tragedies."

"Then how do you plan to get revenge!"

Leng Feibai looked at Qingxuan and said, "Learn the skills of the Human Sect, and then go and kill your enemies. But with your skills, even killing Jingni would be extremely difficult. Let alone Wang Ben and Ying Zheng, who are heavily guarded."

After hearing this, Qingxuan didn't say anything more, but instead plopped down on a huge rock.

"Think about it!"

Leng Feibai turned and walked back the way he came, uttering his last words.

"You can shed blood for the dead, but don't make the living weep for your impulsiveness. Unless your strength is so great that you can disregard all the rules of this world."

As he finished speaking, Qingxuan's face regained some color, and he murmured, "Is my martial uncle reminding me not to blindly seek revenge before I have sufficient strength? Don't let the living shed tears for my impulsiveness..."

Qingxuan repeated Leng Feibai's words, then turned and left.

"I hope you'll listen to me!"

As Leng Feibai sensed Qingxuan's departure, he sighed inwardly. It was rare for Xiaomeng to have met a friend she could have fun with. If she really lost her life because of hatred and anger, that girl would probably go and cultivate that disgusting Supreme Forgetfulness Path again.

Time flies, and more than half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, Xiaomeng made rapid progress. In less than two months, she mastered the sword techniques taught by Wan Chuan Qiu Shui and Leng Fei Bai to the highest level.

Therefore, Bei Mingzi no longer allowed Leng Feibai to interfere with Xiaomeng's teaching, but instead personally instructed her.

As for Qingxuan, he took Leng Feibai's words to heart and did not do anything like sneaking into the Heavenly Sect at night to steal the scriptures.

However, Leng Feibai couldn't be sure if the plot hadn't reached that point yet.

As for Xiao Ling, after receiving the palm techniques and internal energy cultivation methods taught by Leng Feibai...

His martial arts skills improved extremely quickly, and among the disciples of the same age in the sect, there were only a few who could defeat him.

Therefore, Chisongzi originally wanted Leng Feibai to take on more disciples, but he refused, citing that he had other matters to attend to.

What Leng Feibai is doing is researching and modifying the Reverse Life Triple System.

To this end, he even used the Soul-Condensing Body technique from the Spirit-Suppressing Art to create a avatar with half of his own cultivation level, in order to cultivate the modified Reverse Life Triple Realm.

However, the hastily modified version had severe side effects. If it weren't for Leng Feibai's clone watching over it, that avatar would probably have exploded and shattered long ago.

Unlike talisman clones, which replicate all of one's abilities and 70% of one's cultivation, too many talisman clones can affect one's mental strength.

The avatar is an external manifestation formed by residing on an object with one's own spiritual power and a portion of one's power. Once the avatar is destroyed, the spiritual power that Leng Feibai residing on the puppet will also dissipate into the world.

Just as Leng Feibai was having a headache, the battle at the Guanmiao Platform between the Heavenly and Human Sects arrived as scheduled.

Guanmiao Terrace is the only place where members of the Celestial and Human Sects meet on a large scale since the sects split up.

Because every five years, it is the day when the leaders of the two sects fight each other over the sword Xueji left behind by their ancestor.

In the audience, Leng Feibai sat with a group of elders from the Heavenly Sect and the Human Sect.

As for the disciples of the two sects, they gathered around the stands, waiting for the match to begin.

"Junior Brother Qingyang!"

Danyangzi, sitting next to Leng Feibai, looked around and couldn't help but ask, "Junior Sister Xiaomeng and Uncle Beiming didn't come?"

"do not know!"

Leng Feibai shrugged and said, "Three days ago, Master took Junior Sister Xiaomeng down the mountain without even leaving me a letter. I don't know what they went to do."

After hearing this, Danyangzi turned to look at Chisongzi and Xiaoyaozi, who were resting with their eyes closed, and asked in a low voice, "Who do you think will win this competition?"

"No one knows the outcome until the very last moment!"

As Leng Feibai spoke, he used the Emperor's Qi Observation Technique to look around in the shadows and confirmed that there was no one hiding nearby, nor was there anything hidden on the Guanmiao Platform that could affect the course of the battle.

As for Xiaoyaozi, although the level of his true energy had improved, there were no surprising changes, so there was no possibility that he had taken drugs or used any special methods.

Seeing this, Leng Feibai thought to himself, "Xiaoyaozi, let me see what tricks you have up your sleeve to defeat Senior Brother Chisongzi."
