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

This is the world of swords.

There is nothing else here but sword intent.

Two sword lights met in the world of swords.

After the violent collision, two swords appeared in the void, stuck together in the shape of a cross.

Pure light flows on the sword.

The space seemed unable to withstand the fighting of swords and was being torn into pieces.

From the crack in space, an ancient spell was faintly heard, turning into a silky black mist that entwined itself around the sword.

The sword light was no longer so pure, and thread-like cracks crept up like fine black lightning.

With a loud bang, the sword shattered.

Another pure sword cut through the fragments of sword light and slashed through the void.

The figures of Yute Xijiange and Li Muchen appeared in the world of nothingness.

Yuteshi Kensuke held the Ame-no-Kume sword in his hand and pointed it forward diagonally, with the tip of the sword just above Li Muchen's forehead and the blade pointing downward.

"You're distracted."

"I lost."

"You wouldn't necessarily lose."

“But I’ve already lost.”

"Is she that important?"

"If it wasn't important, I wouldn't be here."

"I understand."

"What do you understand?"

"I now understand why Izanagi was unable to escape from the underworld and why Susanoo fell into the devil's way."

"why?"

"Because they have an obsession in their hearts that they can't let go of."

"Yes, everyone has obsessions."

"Then let me help you kill this thought."

Yu Te Xi Jian Ge did not hesitate at all, and the sword flashed, piercing through Li Muchen's body.

……

Lantian sat by the stream, took off her shoes, and plunged her feet into the cold water. The ripples spread out from her slender calves.

"Master, will we see that dragon again?"

"Will do."

"Will we meet fairies? Grandpa said there are fairies in the wilderness!"

"Maybe."

Lantian was still chattering when Li Muchen suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. The clear stream was stained with red spots by the blood, as if a few plum blossoms had bloomed on the green trees.

"Master!" Lan Tian was startled, jumped up hurriedly, ran barefoot to support Li Muchen, and asked with concern, "Master, what's wrong with you?"

Li Muchen waved his hand: "It's okay, I just killed a clone."

"Avatar?" Lantian asked curiously, "What is a vatar?"

"After practicing for a certain period of time, you can separate yourself into another self, called an external incarnation, to do what you want to do."

"Wow, that must be fun. If I have a clone, one can follow Master, one can stay at home to take care of my parents, and the other can help Sister Hongling heal diseases and save lives in Linhuang Town!"

Li Muchen asked: "Anything else?"

Lantian thought about it, shook his head and said, "It seems that there is no one. I can't think of it."

Li Muchen smiled, gently touched Lantian's head and said, "That's great, you only need two clones to fulfill your wish."

"Is it because I'm still young? Sister Hongling is often worried too. She said that when I grow up, I will also have a lot of worries."

"So we need to practice. Life is about addition, just like building a house, stacking bricks one by one; but practice is about subtraction, removing bricks one by one."

"Well, so we are doing addition and subtraction at the same time, so that there will be no increase or decrease, no birth or death, right, Master?"

Li Muchen laughed. Although cultivation was far from being that simple, Lantian's simple and innocent thoughts just hit the core of cultivation.

"Then why did Master want to kill off one of his clones?" Lantian suddenly asked.

"The clones are created by fate. To kill the clones is to sever the earthly ties. My clones are my obsessions. To kill the clones is to sever the obsessions and end the fate. If all the clones are killed, there will be no worries from now on, and nothing can limit our freedom anymore."

"Free as water?" Lantian sat down again, dangling her little feet gently in the water.

"No, water can only rely on the terrain and is not free enough." Li Muchen said.

"Then, be as free as the clouds in the sky?" Lantian looked up at the sky.

"No, clouds can only be attached to the sky, they are not free enough."

"Then, be as free as the wind?" Lantian closed his eyes and felt the cool breeze on his face. "Ah, how nice it would be if I could become the wind!"

Li Muchen didn't say anything, but just quietly looked at her little face enjoying the wind.

"Master..." Lantian suddenly opened his eyes, "Will it hurt if you kill the clone? Will killing the clone hurt the real body?"

"Of course." Li Muchen said, "Not only will he be injured, but he will be seriously injured. Especially the heart energy, the loss will be huge."

“Ah?!” Lan Tian was shocked and jumped up. He looked around vigilantly, and a hazy light enveloped him. “There are many monsters in the wilderness. Master, you should heal your wounds quickly. I will protect you!”

Li Muchen laughed dumbly.

Lantian looked cute, but the precious light on her body made Li Muchen a little more surprised.

"You don't even have a magic weapon, how can you protect the master?"

"I can use my fists!" Lantian waved his pink little fist.

Li Muchen smiled and shook his head, saying, "You are born with a spiritual body, so you don't need to take the path of physical cultivation. I have a small western flag here that can make up for the lack of physical strength. You can use it."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, and a small blue, red, black, and white western flag appeared on his palm.

Lantian grabbed it, played with it in his hands, and said, "This little flag is so cute, how do we play with it?"

Li Muchen said: "This flag originally has five sides, corresponding to the five elements and five colors. It can divide yin and yang in chaos, adjust the five elements, demarcate the western wilderness, and open the five-color door. But it is still missing a Xuanhuang Wuji flag. If you are lucky enough to get it in the future, you can combine the five colors into one and rule Xuantian. Come, I will teach you the secret method now..."

A divine thought surged into Lantian's sea of ​​consciousness.

Lantian frowned and her pretty face flushed, as if the exam in the examination room had reached a critical moment.

Suddenly, her brows relaxed and she said happily, "I can do it!"

She waved her hand, and the western flag in her hand flew out, turning into western clouds that swirled around her.

With another wave of his hand, the clouds dispersed, suddenly covering the sky and blocking out the sun.

Li Muchen quickly said, "That's enough. Magical instruments should not be used lightly, let alone used to show off."

Lantian put away the western flag, put away his mischievous expression, and said respectfully, "I understand, Master."

Li Muchen nodded and wanted to give her a storage bag, but he saw that Lantian had already unfolded the Xise flag and turned it into clothes and put it on.

"Master, do you think this looks good?" She turned around and asked.

Li Muchen found that this was quite good. The western colors were intertwined and naturally interesting, and it was also suitable for the attire of girls in this border area.

Moreover, Lantian might have done this just out of the little girl's love of beauty, but she inadvertently brought into play the wonderful use of the Five Elements Flag's self-contained space. From now on, she will no longer need any storage magic weapon. Xuantian is the commander of all things. It can even hold the heaven and earth. Where in the world is there a better storage space?

"Master, I can protect you from now on." Lantian said.

Li Muchen smiled and nodded.

Lantian blinked and said, "Then, Master, you should kill all the clones now. Grandma Xie said that a short pain is worse than a long one!"

Li Muchen laughed and said, "How can I kill the clone whenever I want? That is an obsession in my heart that I cannot let go of. I can't kill it myself, and no one can help me. I can only wait for the opportunity, take advantage of the situation, and act accordingly."

"Is that so? Then where is the clone that you can't let go of the most, Master?"
