Last night's Southwest War was a major event destined to be recorded in history.
When everyone thought that nothing major would happen in the world in the near future, an undercurrent full of blood was flowing in every dark corner of the world.
The human world is now like a hodgepodge, with various forces competing here.
Not only those from the human world, but also those from the heavenly world, the underworld, and now there are even more from the underground world of the human world.
Some people say that Jianghu is not about fighting and killing, but about human relationships.
This sentence is correct, but it is not entirely correct.
Grudges, fights and killings in the world have always been the main theme of the world in the eyes of most people.
While everyone was waiting for the next confrontation between Ye Xiaochuan and Tuoba Yu, a massacre destined to be one-sided was going on in an orderly manner.
Starting this afternoon, some masters have left the sacred mountain.
Since there are now many righteous disciples stationed inside and outside the Holy Mountain, and Xuantian Sect's masters have left in batches, no one has noticed that Xuantian Sect has sent out 133 masters in batches in the past three hours.
If Qu Chen is added, there are one hundred and thirty-four.
In order to deal with Ghost Xuanzong, Li Xuanyin spent a lot of money.
Not only did Elder Qu Chen be sent to direct tonight's operations, but the Three Kunlun Monsters and the Twelve Immortals of Xuantian were also mobilized.
Almost all the others are elder-level masters who have reached the Lingji realm.
According to the intelligence, although there are tens of thousands of Guixuan Sect disciples stationed in the Ten Thousand Fox Ancient Cave in Qilin Mountain, most of them are young people who have just been sent there from Longmen without any cultivation.
There are only more than 500 disciples who have truly reached the realm of Yukong.
Moreover, among the more than five hundred people, there are only three red-clothed disciples in the Lingji realm.
Almost all the other red-clothed disciples are in the Yukong and Yuanshen realms, and there are only a few who are in the out-of-body realm.
In the entire Qilin Mountain Ten Thousand Fox Ancient Cave, Yuan Xiaolou, Qin Guichen, and Yang Juaner have the highest cultivation levels.
Due to the great success of Ye Xiaochuan's operation in the southwest, the entire Wanhu Ancient Cave was filled with joy today. A big party was even held tonight to celebrate the victory of Ghost Xuanzong.
None of these young people thought that tonight would be their day of death.
Aba's first seven years have not yet passed, and Dugu Changfeng is still keeping vigil for Aba in the cave stone room.
Yuan Xiaolou brought food to Dugu Changfeng, talked to him for a while, comforted him a few words, and then walked out of the cave.
The valleys and caves were extremely lively, and groups of young people could be seen everywhere eating and drinking.
Yuan Xiaolou walked to the valley, breathing in the aroma of various foods that filled the air, and looking at the group of happy teenagers, he couldn't be happy at all.
She found a rock and sat down, resting her chin on her hands and looking at the stars in the sky.
Yang Juaner took a rest early, and Qin Guichen was chatting with Yu Linglong in the stone room with the magic sound mirror.
Yuan Xiaolou suddenly felt so lonely.
She missed her grandpa and her rice pail.
Just when she was wondering whether her grandfather and Fan Tong had arrived in Yangzhou, whether they had had dinner, whether they were staying in an inn or sleeping in the wilderness, an old man walked up to her.
There is only one old man in Wanhu Ancient Cave, and that is Old Master Xu from Xuqiu.
A few days ago, Master Xu looked frail and frail, but these days he is actually radiant.
People have to find their own value.
In the past, Master Xu felt that he lived for the rain and thunderbolts from the sky.
Tianyu Pili was sent for treatment, and he lost his goal in life.
Later in Longmen, he began to enlighten Dugu Changfeng and other young people.
He, a super great scholar in heaven, was overqualified for educating children, but he didn't care at all.
The sage said that there is no distinction between teachings. He can give lectures to the great Confucians in the Imperial College today, and he can also enlighten young children.
After leaving Longmen, he became unemployed and his health deteriorated.
Ye Xiaochuan passed by here a few days ago and reopened his Master Xu class.
Although Master Xu has been very tired these past few days, he is very fulfilling and happy.
With a better mentality, he had a goal in life, and found the value of life, Master Xu's mental outlook also took on a new look.
No, it's so late and I haven't rested yet. I even drank a little wine.
He carried a wine gourd painted with red paint and came to Yuan Xiaolou's side.
Said: "Miss Xiaolou, Mr. Ye won the battle outside and everyone was celebrating. Why do you look unhappy?
Are you worried about something?"
Yuan Xiaolou came to her senses, and she did not say that she missed her grandpa.
He just said softly: "I don't know why, but I always feel a little panicked."
After a pause, Yuan Xiaolou suddenly said: "Master, why can't we all live in peace? Why do we have to fight and kill each other?"
Master Xu's eyes were a little blurry. He sat next to Yuan Xiaolou, opened the cork on the wine gourd, and took a few sips.
Then he said: "You love someone for ten years or a hundred years, and then you gradually stop loving them.
But hating someone can last for hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands of years.
The fundamental reason for all the grudges and hatreds in the world is that we can't let them go.
If everyone could let go of their grudges, prejudices, and greed, anger, and ignorance in their hearts, there would be no more fighting or killing in the world.
However, if this is the case, all living things will not be far from extinction.
Xiaolou girl, you have to understand that it is not peace but war that promotes the progress of the entire civilization."
Yuan Xiaolou was a little confused. She seemed to disagree with Master Xu's words.
He said: "So many people die in every war. How can it promote the progress of civilization?"
Master Xu said: "Take today as an example. The overall strength of the world of cultivation has increased by at least 30% compared to ten years ago.
In the past few thousand years, it would take at least a thousand years for the strength of the cultivation world to increase by 30%.
Why has the current world of human cultivation completed the journey of the past thousand years in just ten years?
Isn’t it because of the catastrophe that happened ten years ago?
In order to protect themselves, strengthen their power, and cope with the catastrophe, each sect began to recruit a large number of disciples.
The catastrophe was a great disaster, but it greatly promoted the development of the world of cultivation in the human world.
Another example is the black fire weapon now appearing on the mortal battlefield.
Gunpowder was invented by alchemists tens of thousands of years ago. However, for tens of thousands of years, gunpowder was almost always used in the production of fireworks and rarely used in war.
Now that war is coming, mortals are forced to improve their weapons and increase the efficiency of killing, so they invented more powerful black powder based on gunpowder.
Another example is the farm tools that people use for daily farming.
Farm tools seem to have nothing to do with war, but no matter in the heaven or human world, all epoch-making farm tools appeared after large-scale wars.
Because of the war, it brought huge trauma to the people, with the population reduced and the land abandoned.
In order to resume farming as soon as possible, people had to rack their brains and invent more efficient agricultural tools to carry out production work.
Another example is smelting.
In the past, ancient ancestors polished stones into weapons. At that time, wars only existed with tribes. Later, in order to better kill the enemy, they invented weapons made of bronze extracted from rocks.
When civilization reached a certain height, they discovered that at higher temperatures, iron tools that were harder than bronze and more suitable for killing could be extracted from rocks.
Then there is the hundred-refined steel... Therefore, throughout history, after any large-scale and long-term war, human civilization will break through the previous peak and reach unprecedented glory.
Such is the case with catastrophes, and so is the case with wars between mortals.
Therefore, although war is cruel, many people will die.
But to a certain extent, it greatly promoted the development of the entire civilization.
There is a saying in Confucianism: If a country is invincible internally, it will defeat the soldiers; if it is invincible externally, it will cause the country to perish.
There is also a saying in the catastrophe: if you want the happiness of civilization, you have to experience the pain of civilization.
I understand that you don’t want Mr. Ye to go out and fight, but in my opinion, what Mr. Ye does today is for the better survival of the people in the future and for the better development of human civilization.
So, Miss Xiaolou, don’t worry about this, just support him silently behind the scenes."
