Zhou Yuniang stood up and walked to the broad-backed epee, her green-white slender fingertips lightly gliding over the epee.
"Hey, I really miss the master. It's a pity that I didn't even see the master for the last time. Junior brother, do you think the master is down there now, how are you doing?"
"Don't worry, Master, no matter where he is, he will live a good life."
Zhao Mu replied calmly.
"That's right. No matter where the old guy goes, he will only bully others. He cannot be bullied by others."
Zhou Yuniang smiled slightly sadly, but did not notice the strange look in Zhao Mu's eyes.
"By the way, senior sister."
Zhao Mu suddenly asked: "When I saw you just now, I noticed that the aura on your body seems to be different from ten years ago. But what new techniques have you practiced?"
"I haven't really started practicing yet."
Zhou Yuniang shook her head and said: "I have been studying the Unnamed Taoist Sutra these years, and I seem to have learned from it a set of exercises that are extremely suitable for my practice. However, the exercises have not been truly perfected. I plan to wait until they are perfected before practicing."
"Haha, senior sister's talent in martial arts is really great. She can actually create her own martial arts. It seems that it won't be long before you can catch up with Sword Chi."
"I'm not as good as you, but you can actually enter the heavenly realm at such a young age. When I returned to Daoxin Valley, why didn't I realize that you were so powerful?"
Zhou Yuniang's little nose wrinkled slightly: "How long do you plan to stay in the capital this time? By the way, this should be your first time in the capital. Do you need senior sister to take you around?"
"No, let's do it next time. I just broke through to the realm of heaven and human. I have to go back to the Tao Heart Valley to retreat for a period of time to stabilize my cultivation."
Zhao Mu stood up as he spoke: "Sister, be more careful in the capital. If there are enemies that you can't deal with, remember to break the epee and I will rush over as soon as possible."
"Okay, then be careful on the road."
Zhou Yuniang got up and sent Zhao Mu out.
Outside.
Sima Hongyi, who was standing in the distance, walked this way.
Zhao Mu ignored it and left Luliu Villa after a few ups and downs.
"Yu Niang, who is this person?"
Sima Hongyi asked.
Zhou Yuniang glanced at him: "His name is Chu Ying. Remember what I said before I came here. If he finds you one day and gives you any orders, you must obey him just like you did to me. Do you understand?"
"Yes, I understand."
Sima Hongyi agreed with a sullen face.
He didn't like the presence of other close men around Zhou Yuniang, but he couldn't disobey Zhou Yuniang's orders at all.
…
After Zhao Mu left the capital, he rushed back to Daoxin Valley without delaying on the road.
In the lush valley, it is as quiet and peaceful as ever.
Zhao Mu walked into the valley and saw that the sravaka Gu had been released silently.
In the center of the valley, the demon corpse is still lying quietly in the grass, receiving sunlight every day.
Now that his cultivation has broken through the realm of heaven and man, Zhao Mu has been able to mobilize the power of heaven and earth in the entire valley.
Therefore, even without using the Sound Hearing Gu, he could clearly sense the existence of a consciousness within the demon corpse.
"Is that Huiguang's consciousness? He seems to be weaker than before I left. It seems that he is almost unable to hold on."
Zhao Mu smiled, ignored Hui Guang who was shouting inside the demon corpse, and walked straight into the wooden house.
This time he broke through to the realm of heaven and man.
In addition to finding an opportunity for a breakthrough through the battle with Jian Chi, the more important reason is actually the transformation of mind and will caused by the "Dream Heart Sutra".
Because of this, even though he had entered the heavenly realm, the sixth heavenly gate in the "Six Paths of Heavenly Gate" was not successfully opened.
Therefore, in the following practice, Zhao Mu plans to fully promote the "Six Paths of Heavenly Gate", striving to open the sixth gate of heaven as soon as possible and condense the acquired spiritual roots.
After all, the Heavenly Realm is already the pinnacle of martial arts cultivation.
Only by condensing his spiritual roots can he take a step further and enter a higher level of immortality.
Time passes day by day.
Just when Zhao Mu returned to Daoxin Valley and immersed himself in cultivation again.
Outside, the Jin Dynasty was in turmoil.
One year after the duel between Zhao Mu and Jian Chi, Sima Tongsheng, who had been locked in death, suddenly broke out.
Many people thought that Sima Tongsheng had made great progress in cultivation again after this year of retreat.
Unexpectedly, after Sima Tongsheng came out of confinement, he directly summoned the ministers to read out the imperial decree and announced that he would abdicate the throne to Prince Sima Hongyi.
After that, Sima Tongsheng launched a series of bloody suppressions inside and outside the capital.
All the courtiers who were loyal to other princes and dissatisfied with Sima Hongyi's ascension to the throne were all killed by him, and blood flowed into the capital for a while.
Obviously, this late emperor was paving the way for his son to prevent Sima Hongyi from being hindered by those people after he ascended the throne.
It's just that his methods are a little too bloody.
Not only those courtiers who firmly supported other princes, but also many courtiers who had some signs of success but had not yet truly surrendered, were also killed by him.
The others were all thrown into prison.
In this bloody and cruel atmosphere, Prince Sima Hongyi ascended the throne.
The first thing Sima Hongyi did after he came to the throne was to grant amnesty to the world, forgiving many people's so-called crimes, and showing kindness to win people's hearts.
It seemed that everything was agreed upon by the father and son.
at the same time.
Sima Tongsheng quietly left the capital without disturbing anyone.
Also leaving at the same time was Mu Xinzhi, the founder of Zenxin Temple.
The two of them seemed to be meeting each other. No one knew where they were going, let alone what they were going to do.
Some people say that the two found a deserted place to engage in a life-and-death duel, hoping to break through the current realm through the horror of life and death;
Some people also said that they seemed to have seen the two people in the East China Sea. They seemed to have gone to sea together to follow the footsteps of the immortal cultivators;
Some people even said that the two people actually got clues about the ruins of a certain immortal, so they desperately went to explore it before their lives were about to end.
No one can really tell where the two of them went.
People only know that since the two left together, they have never been seen again.
Tao Heart Valley.
At noon that day, Zhao Mu did not practice as usual, but walked to the side of the demon corpse for the first time.
He waved his hand, and the strong Qi passed through like a blade, instantly clearing away the surrounding grass.
The demon corpse was quiet and motionless.
Zhao Mu knelt down and looked at the demon corpse quietly with a smile.
"What are you looking at?"
Suddenly, Hui Guang's weak voice came from the demon corpse.
"Are you looking to see when you will die?"
"Haha, you have indeed noticed the poor monk a long time ago. How did you do it? Logically speaking, it is impossible for a warrior to sense the poor monk?"
"No need to be surprised, I have some means beyond the scope of a warrior."
Zhao Mu smiled and said: "But I'm also curious, how did you transfer your consciousness into the Buddha's relic? A warrior can't do such a thing?"
"You should have wanted to ask the poor monk about this matter for a long time, right?"
Hui Guang smiled bitterly and said: "Little guy, your patience really surprises me. You have pretended not to notice the poor monk for so many years, and it wasn't until the poor monk was about to die that you finally asked."
