The master comes down the mountain: I don’t want to be a son-in-law

Lie Chengfeng's heroic spirit made Xiang Wanqing feel sad.

She still remembered that when she first entered the sect, she was a naughty girl who didn't like to practice hard according to the requirements of the eldest brother and was often punished. None of the brothers dared to speak up for her, only the second brother stood up and took her hand to the Yijian Peak where the second brother practiced, and told her that there is no impermanence in the way and no impermanence in the law, and let her practice according to her own ideas and what she likes.

Xiang Wanqing originally practiced female alchemy, but later switched to swordsmanship. The Seven Star Sword was also given to her by her master after listening to her second senior brother's advice.

Although she didn't have many opportunities to meet her second senior brother, emotionally speaking, besides her master, the person she respected the most in the entire Tiandu was her second senior brother Lie Chengfeng.

"Second Brother, you won't die! I don't believe you will die! You are my idol and the pride of Tiandu, how could you die?!"

As Xiang Wanqing spoke, tears began to flow.

"Wanqing..." Lie Chengfeng raised his arm, stretched out an invisible hand from the ball of light, and gently stroked Wanqing's face, as if to wipe away her tears.

"Don't cry, Tiandu disciple, how can you cry? The Great Dao is always there, practitioners should not be attached to life and death, and to the self."

Xiang Wanqing nodded vigorously, but still couldn't hold back her tears.

"But I still can't figure it out. Second Senior Brother is so powerful, who can kill you? Is the Nine Nether Eighteen Prisons really that difficult to break through? Even Second Senior Brother can only get here?"

Lie Chengfeng said: "I have been conceited and arrogant all my life. I am obsessed with swordsmanship and have devoted my whole body and mind to it. I have broken all laws with one sword and entered the Great Dao for the first time. I don't even care about heaven and earth. Since entering the underworld, my sword energy has been invincible. I think if I continue like this, breaking through the eighteen levels of hell and reaching the depths of Shenguang Sea, I may be able to kill the Hades."

He paused for a moment and sighed, "Until I came to this City of the Dead..."

Xiang Wanqing was very curious: "Is this City of the Dead more difficult to break into than the Eighteen Layers of Hell, and more dangerous than Shen Guanghai?"

Lie Chengfeng shook his head: "Wrongful Death City is not dangerous. There are only wronged souls here, no evil ghosts."

"Then why..."

"Because evil ghosts can be killed, but wronged souls are hard to get rid of." Li Muchen said.

Lie Chengfeng looked at Li Muchen and nodded gently: "Little Junior Brother, you are right. Evil ghosts can be killed, but wronged souls are hard to get rid of. This is the same as our practice in the world. It is easy to eliminate evil, but difficult to redress grievances."

"I could have bypassed the City of the Wrongly Dead and headed to Hell, but when I arrived here, the city gate was filled with resentment. The evil spirits gathered were so thick that this space could not bear it. I stood outside the gate, being rushed by the resentment. It was as if I had traveled through time and space, and saw the misery and injustice of billions of lives. So I wrote the word 'resentment' on the stone with my sword energy."

"So Second Senior Brother decided to enter the City of the Dead to wipe out the injustice of billions of lives from ancient times to the present?!" Li Muchen sighed, "Second Senior Brother still has good thoughts in his heart, and he can't enter the Great Dao first."

Lie Chengfeng looked at Li Muchen with some admiration and nodded slightly.

Xiang Wanqing was very puzzled: "Shouldn't practitioners have good thoughts? Isn't it the most basic practice to distinguish between good and evil, and right and wrong?"

"You are right, but from ancient times to the present, has anyone been able to clearly explain what is good and what is evil? What is righteousness and what is evil? Mortals can still use the interests of their group as a starting point when discussing good and evil, righteousness and evil, but practitioners cannot do this, because practitioners pursue the great way, and the great way has no distinctions, and all beings are equal." Li Muchen said.

Lie Chengfeng nodded repeatedly, with an admiring look in his eyes: "Junior brother, you are right. It seems that you have realized the essence of the Tao. I am concentrating my sword power, and my residual soul is immortal. It seems that I am right to wait here."

Li Muchen's heart moved, knowing that Lie Chengfeng must have some last wishes to fulfill.

Xiang Wanqing was still thinking, and asked as she thought: "If one cannot distinguish between good and evil, right and wrong, how can one practice? Could it be that everything the master taught is wrong?"

"There is no good or evil, so how can we distinguish them?" Lie Chengfeng said, "Wanqing, think carefully, has your master ever taught you what is good and evil, right and wrong? Has your master ever said that we need to distinguish between good and evil when practicing?"

Xiang Wanqing thought for a moment and said, "It seems that there really isn't one! But... why do I have such an idea? And I always feel that it is what Master taught me, and it is natural and right?"

Lie Chengfeng looked at Li Muchen: "Junior brother, why do you think this is happening?"

Li Muchen knew that his second senior brother was testing him, so he smiled slightly, raised a finger, and said, "The Yin Fu says, Observe the way of heaven, follow the way of heaven, and that's all! The immortal sect takes this as the general outline of cultivation, but it is actually wrong. It is precisely because we live in the world and take heaven as the way that we unconsciously accept the idea of ​​destiny. So Senior Sister Xiang always thinks that it was all taught by the master. In fact, many of people's thoughts are not taught by anyone, but are filled with the old rules and teachings that are everywhere between heaven and earth, which subtly affect our cognition and blind our minds."

"The so-called natural law is the source of error. There is no such thing as natural law in this world. If the sky has a warp and the earth has a weft, it must be a cage for the human world. The one who has the heaven and the weft is nothing but weaving cages and enslaving all living beings."

Lie Chengfeng smiled approvingly and said, "Little Junior Brother, then tell me, what exactly are we practicing?"

"Minor practitioners save themselves, break away from the longitude and latitude, and enter the great way first. Great practitioners save all living beings, go against the will of heaven, and return to chaos." Li Muchen said.

"Eh..." Lie Chengfeng was obviously not satisfied with this answer. "Your statement sounds like the Mahayana and Hinayana of Buddhism. Isn't that jumping into Buddhism?"

Li Muchen shook his head and said, "Using Lingshan to establish another world is just to replace the other world with this world. After all, there is still a world. If I practice Buddhism, I will also overthrow Lingshan."

“Hahaha!” Lie Chengfeng laughed loudly, “What a great way to push down Lingshan! Hahaha, little junior brother, you are very much to my liking, but it’s a pity that you and I cannot meet in our true form. I have a sword called Han Guang here, which is the result of my lifelong sword intent. I thought this sword could split Shen Guanghai in half, but I didn’t expect that I would die before I could use this sword. I’ll give this sword to you!”

After saying this, the light around him suddenly brightened, outshining the scorching sun.

Then, the strong light condensed into the sword in his hand.

The sword that originally looked soft, twisted, and insubstantial, like a thin piece of paper emitting dim light, condensed into a sword emitting a blazing white light and slowly flew towards Li Muchen.

Li Muchen stretched out his hands, held the sword horizontally in his palms, and suddenly felt his palms warm.

In addition to the heat, there is an indescribable power.

Then, there was a flash of sword light, and the sword disappeared from his palm.

Li Muchen felt that an extremely powerful sword intent and an indestructible sword energy, carrying the energy to cut through the sky and split the earth, rushed into his body.

"The Hanguang sword has no entity, only the sword's will lasts forever. Even though you are a clone, as long as you understand the sword's will well, your real body will be able to sense it..."

"Second senior brother!"

Xiang Wanqing exclaimed, because the light on Lie Chengfeng's body was fading, and his figure was gradually becoming blurred...
