Chapter two hundred and sixty-eight on swordsmanship, the world is not afraid
The bright moon hangs high, the sky is filled with stars, and the night is windy.
It was already the third watch, and the streets outside the Tiandi Inn were deserted. The long streets were filled with people, and it was unknown where the crowds of people were spreading.
After all, it is a rare and important event throughout the ages! The Holy Land Martial Arts Competition is held every five years and has already attracted a lot of attention. What’s more, this martial arts competition is held in the capital of the gods and is open to the entire continent. Naturally, countless cultivators have heard about it and come here.
Yingba and Xuanyuankuo stand on the blue tiles on the second floor of Tiandi Inn, overlooking several streets in front of them. Their majestic appearance makes people feel respectful.
They can be called the two greatest emperors in the world, and they can hardly find any shortcomings.
Gai You, the demon king of the Demon Realm, cultivates all year round and does not care about worldly affairs; Chu Tianhe, the Emperor of Chu in Xuanzhou, is obsessed with martial arts and ignores government affairs; Emperor Yin of Yinzhou and Yin Shang, although good at handling internal affairs, have no revenge but no pattern.
After all, the vision is narrow. Although Huang Shang, the Yellow Emperor of Huangzhou, worked hard to benefit the people, his qualifications were limited and he had more than enough ambition but not enough power.
Only these two people can be called the true emperors.
Ying Ba's father, Ying Zheng, was warlike but without any plan. He governed Dongzhou into a mess, leaving the people in dire straits and died young. At only thirty years old, Yingba succeeded Dongzhou and became the lord of a region. He was the youngest person in history.
of the emperor.
When everyone predicted that Dongzhou would only get worse and worse, he used great wisdom and magnanimity to not only completely solve the mess left by the late emperor, but also made Dongzhou more prosperous and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.
During his reign, he repelled large-scale invasions from Tuhai and Hainan many times, dealt with nearly ten civil strife, and conducted dozens of personal campaigns in his early years without ever being defeated. He was famous among the eight states and ranked first in the world.
Dongzhou's strength increased rapidly, and he had been dormant for decades. Everyone thought that when he was old, Tuhai invaded and the corpse clan invaded, but he reversed the situation and taught the world a vivid lesson.
Xuanyuan Kuo, on the other hand, showed his sharpness and achieved great achievements early. He had repelled the invasion of the Sin Forest many times, and successfully resolved the metal mercury insect cholera. He was famous all over the world, and his achievements had already surpassed those of previous generations of emperors.
In this continent, the strong are always respected, even if their positions are different.
So when the two of them stood on the green tiles, overlooking the surroundings, tens of thousands of cultivators held their breath and concentrated without making a sound.
There are several long streets where you can hear a pin drop and everyone's eyes are filled with respect.
Ying Ba looked at the faces around him and couldn't help but smile and said: "Before every Holy Land martial arts competition, when cultivators from the mainland gather, all the great emperors will say a few words, as if it is an unwritten rule. And this
When the Holy Land Martial Arts Tournament comes to the Divine Capital, the God Emperor is also very courageous and directly allows the Holy Land Martial Arts Tournament to face the entire continent, which can be described as a rare event in the history."
Everyone was silent and extremely focused. Yingba couldn't help but said: "The God Emperor is humble and allowed me to start. I am honored to say that I really want to say a few words. You are all cultivators from all over the eight states in the world. Some of you are talented.
Just in China, some come from Xuanzhou, Dizhou, and even Huangzhou and Tianzhou further away, and of course there are also my people from Dongzhou."
Having said this, he suddenly paused for a few seconds, and then said: "I want to ask, why are you here?"
As soon as these words came out, the venue was quiet for a moment, and then suddenly a tsunami-like sound erupted, spreading throughout the world.
Ying Ba waved his right hand and the street fell silent for an instant. He smiled and said: "I heard some people say they want to come to see the Holy Land and see how strong the young people of the Divine Dynasty are. Some people say they want to know how many geniuses there are in ordinary people. Others want to see it.
There are those who see the bustling city of Gods, and those who simply walk around and watch the excitement. But do you know why several major holy mountains and divine dynasties hold a holy land competition every five years? What is the significance of this competition?
"
Everyone was silent. Of course, no one would speculate on this kind of thing.
Yingba smiled and said: "The Holy Land Martial Arts Competition, starting from this year, can be renamed the Continental Martial Arts Competition. It is no longer limited to the Holy Land and the Divine Dynasty, but is oriented to the mainland. The reason for arranging this martial arts competition is because
These twenty words - be prepared for danger in times of peace, carry on the sacred teachings, pass on civilization through the ages, and create peace for all ages."
Everyone looked at each other, but they couldn't understand.
Yingba sighed, looked at the young faces, and said with emotion: "You may be confused, this is obviously just a simple competition. It may be the product of a secret competition between the Holy Land and the divine dynasty, or it may be the selection of young strong men.
It is a platform for readers and may be a place for exchange of martial arts.”
"Actually, that's not the case. The major holy places and divine dynasties have been inherited for thousands of years. They have profound foundations and intertwined contradictions. The secret contests are no longer decided by the younger generation. This is nonsense."
Xuanyuan Kuo said softly.
Yingba smiled and said: "After all, it's still those twenty words. What do you mean by being prepared for danger in times of peace? Everyone must know that ten thousand years ago, creatures from the five seas invaded and the mainland fell for a time. It was at the expense of countless cultivators' flesh and blood that they
In exchange for today's prosperity, every inch of land under our feet was purchased with blood! The creatures of the Five Seas have been dormant for thousands of years and have already recovered their vitality. Will they land again?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked! They couldn't help but feel horrified! The number of creatures in the Five Seas far exceeded that of the mainland. If a war really came, it would probably be another terrible disaster.
Yingba said loudly: "In the past few hundred years, the sea of earth has invaded Dongzhou dozens of times, the mercury worms of the Golden Sea have also caused trouble several times, the sea of fire and magma have never stopped, and the creatures of the West State and the Wood Sea have also landed many times.
. They are already ready to make a move. Peace is just a dream and will be shattered at the first glance. There have been nearly a hundred martial arts competitions in the Holy Land. Why? Just to let everyone know that you can't give up the war! You can't give up the war!"
As he spoke, he suddenly waved his right hand, a purple light flashed through, and three figures in the crowd were immediately swept up into the sky.
Xuanyuan Kuo snorted coldly, stretched out his finger, and a golden light suddenly shot out, instantly piercing the heads of the three people.
The three people fell from the sky and instantly turned into a pool of silver water. They turned out to be metal creatures!
Everyone stepped back and couldn't help but exclaimed.
Ying Ba said: "You see! The ambition of the creatures of the Five Seas has never disappeared, it's just that the time is not yet ripe."
Xuanyuan Kuo said calmly: "Being prepared for danger in times of peace is the best principle in the world. The purpose of martial arts competitions in times of peace is to allow the martial arts of various schools to collide, multiply and develop, and strengthen one's body."
Ying Ba said: "So this is the inheritance of the Holy Secret Art! Martial arts competitions and exchanges, the collision of thousands of avenues, the secret art will not be lost, and new sparks will be generated, and more martial arts will be born!"
Xuanyuan Kuo said: "So this emperor believes that the inheritance of the Holy Secret Learning should not be just a matter for the Holy Land and the Divine Dynasty, but the responsibility of the mainland! In fact, the sparks generated by the collision of the avenues often come from the ordinary world, not from the ordinary world.
Holy land and divine dynasty. This is what is called the creation of an eternal civilization. Only through exchanges and collisions can new things be born."
Ying Ba said: "So the purpose of your coming is different, but the insights you see from what you see are also different. In fact, even though you have come all the way here, what you gain is far more than just the martial arts experience.
The mountains, valleys, rivers and cliffs during the journey! Only by seeing it can you understand it, and only by experiencing it can you gain something."
Xuanyuan Kuo said: "Only by remembering, inheriting, colliding, birthing, and developing all these things together, martial arts will continue to flourish, the avenue will multiply forever, and civilization will last for eternity. And if you are strong, you can't do anything."
Fear, what will happen to the five seas? They will be destroyed if they come!"
Ying Ba said: "Martial arts in the Holy Land is the point, this point is the center, and it is the belief of the warriors! This point will lead to the creation of countless aspects, causing the entire continent's martial arts to bloom, hundreds of schools of thought to contend, and prosper for eternity."
Xuanyuan Kuo said: "So, you must understand that you are not participating in a certain martial arts competition, but leaving your own shadow in this mighty tide of martial arts rolling through the ages! What you are participating in is a great cause.
, is the greatest cause of the entire human race! Inherit civilization and protect peace."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's blood boiled and they couldn't help but roar.
Yingba laughed loudly and said: "So, young people! You, and you, must stand higher, look further, and think deeper. In this way, you will not be shackled to a village.
A town, a city, a region, or even a state. You will see the changes in the pattern of the entire continent, the mighty storms of the entire world, and the magnificent scene is beyond your imagination."
Having said this, he couldn't help but shook his head and said: "We will eventually grow old, and the world is yours after all. Your vision determines the future of the Gods and Demons Continent, and your achievements are the achievements of the Gods and Demons Continent. The general trend of the world,
If they unite for a long time, they will separate, and if they unite for a long time, they will unite, just like the yin and yang of martial arts, they are constantly changing!"
Xuanyuan Kuo looked down and suddenly said: "Gu Que, you understand the Tao of Yin and Yang quite well, why don't we talk about it?"
"I?"
Gu Que was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but said in his heart, it's none of my business if you give a speech! I just want to save my wife, what are the general trends of the world, the rolling tide of history, and the inheritance of ancient civilizations, do they have anything to do with me?
Okay! I admit, everyone can't stay out of it
He looked at the countless people around him and said calmly: "The way of yin and yang in martial arts cannot be explained clearly, and the way is unclear, but it has its rules after all. That is, yin and yang rotate in cycles, endlessly, and the extreme of yin is yang, and the extreme of yang
Everything is yin. When yang improvises, yin wanes. When yin and yang change, yin and yang alternate. When yin and yang merge, it is chaos. Chaos, between the rise and fall of improvisation and decline, is war!"
Under the attention of Yuan Qi, the voice spread throughout the square street, and countless people frowned and pondered. This is because most people know a little bit about Yin and Yang, but it is rare to use Yin and Yang martial arts to discuss the general trend of the world.
Yingba smiled and said: "The war between gods and demons has never stopped in the mainland, but overall, it has been peaceful for thousands of years! Nowadays, martial arts in the mainland are blooming, hundreds of schools of thought are contending, and the proud men of heaven are emerging one after another, and the prosperity has reached the extreme! This is Yang.
And the silent Five Seas are recharging their energy, dormant for thousands of years, waiting for opportunities to strike. This is Yin! This is the general trend of the world!"
Xuanyuan Kuo said: "So, everyone, as Emperor Ying said, stand higher, look further, and think deeper. Stand, stand on the top of the continent, look, see the pattern of the world, think, think
This is the trend of the ages. This is what you must do to become a truly strong person."
Yingba laughed and said: "This time, we didn't talk to you about how to practice martial arts, how to break through the realm, or what to pay attention to in actual combat. We were talking about the world's structure and the personal structure. I believe these words are more helpful for your path.
Help, because everyone’s path is different, but they lead to the same destination!”
The sound stirred between heaven and earth. The white moon was bright and silver light shone down. The two figures on the roof were so majestic.
Everyone suddenly said in unison: "Thank you Emperor Ying! Thank you God Emperor!"
Sounds came out one after another. Some people sighed, some were excited, and some even meditated on the spot to gain insights.
In Gu Que's view, these words were hollow, unrealistic, and even ridiculous.
Just because these words are too far away and too ethereal for these people
But those practical words can make people progress and gain practical benefits. But these empty words can make people determined! Make people confident! Make people pursue something!
Is this world so impetuous because it pays too much attention to practicality and interests?
Interests are always changing, but these seemingly empty words have gone through the vicissitudes of time and still exude brilliance!
Judging from the current situation, what Xuanyuan Kuo and Ying Ba said were nonsense.
From the perspective of life as a whole, what they say is true.
(PS: I have hesitated for a long time, but I still plan to write this chapter. It is not a preaching, but an expectation. My readers, including myself, have countless confusions and helplessness in life. I hope everyone can see further.
, think more openly, find what you firmly believe in your heart, become confident, and become objective. After a chapter of empty talk, if someone has gained something, I am very happy. If there is no gain, everyone can just think that I am farting. (To be continued.
