The Chinese Soul of the Net King

Zhang Wuliu flicked his sleeves and said: "I said before that human beings are the closest to gods. The so-called gods are just like Confucianism among human beings. There are rules, laws, punishments and rewards. You are all gods. Everyone knows that it should be the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother. Immortals are like the Tao among human beings. Don't need me to explain."

"So that's how it was divided!" I was stunned.Then he asked again: "Then what is the difference between the cultivation in the West and the gods and Buddhas in the East?"

Zhang Wuliu narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Don't you understand? Eastern cultivators, whether gods or Buddhas, rely on their own comprehension and diligent cultivation. And those guys in the West?"

"It's belief..." Speaking of me here, I also began to understand: "After all, relying on other people's beliefs does not rely on oneself to gain strength. So, will this do any harm to human beings who believe in them?"

"I'm not very clear about this. There are no such crooked ways in the East. But..." Zhang Wuliu frowned and said: "If faith can provide strength to those birdmen, it must come from the sincerity of the soul. In the East, After death, people will return to the underworld and go through the cycle of reincarnation. If there is obsession in the heart, then..."

"...you shall not be reincarnated!" After hearing this, my face darkened.Faith from the soul?If you do not believe in gods and Buddhas, you will not be blessed by gods and Buddhas.It seems that there is also a person in charge of the underworld in the West, but does the West also have the theory of reincarnation?At least, I haven't heard of it.

Looking up at the somewhat gloomy sky, I thought to myself: Is there really a so-called heaven up there?If so, is the Heavenly Kingdom really what they preached?

At this time, the port.

One fat and one thin, two people with unusually sharp contrast stepped off a tanker that had just landed at the same time.The two of them coincidentally set foot on a strange land and began to look around, completely ignoring the weird eyes of the people around them and sighing to themselves: "This is Japan!"

The fluent Chinese attracted the whispers of those who were already onlookers.After the two sighed, they each lifted their heavy-looking bags and walked forward.Talking while walking:

"Hey, Fatty, do you know where the Miss Murong family we are looking for is in Japan?"

"Of course the fat man knows! Why, the people you sent didn't tell you?"

"Of course I did! I just want to make sure it's the same place!"

"It must be the same place. The news of Yu's family coming is different?"

"That's not certain! What if that Miss Murong changes places to live? The two of us are representatives of the Northern and Southern Mojindoudou factions to negotiate, so there can be no mistakes in this matter."

"Hmph, you are the one who makes mistakes, Fatty will not make such logical mistakes!"

"I'll talk big, let me tell you, don't pull my hind legs when the time comes. With your body shape, you don't have to say whether you can run when you meet a zongzi!"

"Hey, don't look at Fatty's thick body, he's as light as a swallow when he moves. It's like you have no two pieces of flesh. If you really fight with rice dumplings, do you have the strength? Don't wait to beg Fatty to pull you up." !"

"Hmph! It's not certain who pulls who!"

……

The two walked while talking like this, and went straight out of the port.

On the other side, the airport.

A large group of men and women with long hair gathered together, which also attracted pedestrians to stop and discuss.

Not to mention the fact that many of those people were brazenly holding swords, which is enough to make the discussion louder and louder, let alone those clothes and men who look like kimonos but are obviously not Japanese. Wear long hair less in braids.The people at the airport were not only the passengers present, but even the flight attendants asked each other, which country did these people come from?so rare?

But the group of people pointed at by everyone is surprisingly self-cultivated, or they don't take being treated like monkeys in the zoo seriously at all, they still have a good chat, and some people hold their fists and salute from time to time. It looks like they are in their own home, and other people at the airport are simply furnished.

What made the onlookers even more puzzled was that there were not only men and women in this group, but also several monks in cassocks...

As a result, the masses who couldn't find the answer suddenly became a lot messed up...

But the more I don't know, the more I want to know.The onlookers at the airport, while exchanging their own conjectures, stared intently at the group of people who were very weird to them.Some people also called the TV station as soon as they discovered the situation, and continued to observe while waiting for the people from the TV station to dig inside.If you're lucky, you might even be able to show your face in front of the camera.

When the group of people who greeted each other and exchanged greetings were about to leave the airport, a group of people took them as the center of a circle and moved out of the airport together...

The group of people who caused a sensation at the airport are representatives of the various schools in today's martial arts world.Although the current China is not as westernized as Japan, it is not a closed country and does not care about world affairs.On the contrary, many business owners have already spread their business all over the world through the two Silk Roads that existed in the early years.However, after all, businessmen talk more about business. Everyone only knows that China has a vast land and abundant resources. They know that Chinese silk is the best in the world, and Chinese tea is the most fragrant in the world. But for Chinese martial arts, alchemy, and domestic systems etc., but little is known about it.Furthermore, the Chinese who can expand their business in foreign countries cannot be simple people, and these people are deep in the world in China, so naturally they will not disclose unnecessary information too much, and they will try to hide it as much as possible. The power behind him.And in the eyes of those people abroad, this naturally adds a sense of mystery to China.

And the group that appeared at the airport today happened to be representatives of the Central Plains martial arts and various sects.These schools with a long history have strict door rules and dedication to ancient teachings.Therefore, most of them have been inheriting the previous style, of course, including etiquette and clothing, and the concept that the sword is inseparable from the body, and the sword is in the person.

When the reporter came, what he saw was such a group of foreigners "holding dangerous control knives and wearing strange clothes"...

When I saw the news, it was already the night's rerun.I was drinking tea in the Tottori house and sprayed it directly on the TV screen.

What exactly is going on?The martial arts leader organizes an elite team to visit Japan?

I was still in a daze here when the phone rang.When I picked it up, it was Yukimura.

"Murong, have you read today's news?" Yukimura asked as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Watching..." I replied casually while wiping the tea on the TV screen with a tissue.

"Those people on TV are from China! They..." Yukimura stopped in the middle of speaking, as if he didn't know how to ask the question.

"It is indeed Chinese. I am also surprised. These people stayed in the mountains well, why did they suddenly come to Japan?" I was also confused and completely confused.

"You don't know either? Didn't you find them?" Yukimura was very surprised.

"Why did I ask them?" I froze for a moment, not understanding why he thought so.

"Isn't it because you and Ito Mie are going to fight to the death, so you invited them to Japan? They look like..."

After listening to his explanation, I probably understand.Those representatives of these major sects can be seen by anyone with eyes. It doesn't take much to think of the imposing manner in their body, they are experts in the world who have practiced martial arts for many years.They came from China again, so Yukimura took them as I invited them from China to cheer.

"I don't intend to let other people intervene in the matter with Ito Mie. I want to settle the entanglement with the Ito family by myself. I also want to find out why these people came to Japan."

Usually these people who practice Taoism and martial arts, when they reach a certain level, they usually don't even get out of the mountain gate easily.This time, so many masters from various sects came to Japan together. Could it be that something major happened in China?

I rubbed my forehead and sighed.What kind of famous sword duel has caused the whole of Japan to be noisy. Isn't China not at peace at this time?What happened to bring those masters who haven't been in the mountain for a long time to come to Japan together? Did something unprecedented happen?Coupled with the weird incident that Zhang Wuliu and Zhang Wuliu went to investigate in the past few days, I am afraid that the west side also...

I suddenly had a very bad premonition.This uneasiness hidden deep in my heart is like a gust of wind before the rain comes...

On Saturdays and Sundays, I went to Sanada Dojo to practice as usual, but the atmosphere in the dojo was very different from before.But I'm not in the mood to care about these anymore. After all, I'm always prone to inexplicable nervousness lately. Maybe it's really like what Zhang Lao said: something else has entered my territory.But what exactly?

Soon, the referee team's notice came, and the date of the duel was one month later.

One month... and one month until swords meet.Originally, I thought that I could treat this duel calmly. After all, I had already realized the break with the Ito family.But when things come to an end, I still feel uneasy.

The cherry blossoms seem to have fallen for a long time, and the cherry blossom trees in the courtyard are already green, and there is no more bright red.And the day of the duel came along with all kinds of weird news.

I packed my luggage again, stood in front of the gate, and bid farewell to the four elders. However, the difference this time was that Jun Xing and his party were also going with me.

It was still the same place, the same opponent, but the number of spectators sitting there was more than doubled.The dojo, which was originally a little empty, seemed to be crowded all of a sudden.

As soon as I entered the gate of the dojo, everyone's eyes shot directly at me.In an instant, I felt like a thick city wall was pressing down on me.Startled for a moment, he quickly calmed down, scanned the audience for a week, and let go of the aura that was deliberately released to test without any trace.

When Jun Xing, who was following me, saw the situation, his expressionless face was as cold as ice.He took half a step forward, stood behind me, and blocked those probing sights for me in a protective posture.
