Martial Arts Song

Chapter 413 True Self
"Master!!!"

"master!!!"

As the light in Li Hua's eyes faded, his hands, feet and head also went limp.

When the families of the surrounding Zuanquan Sect disciples saw this scene, they all cried out in grief.

Then, there was a sound of crying.

Some of the men who were kneeling on the outer layer cried for a while, then a ruthless look appeared on their faces. They stood up and walked quickly towards the captured Ryuying soldiers, beating them up and cursing as they went along.

Many of the Ryuying captured soldiers who had been knocked unconscious were awakened by the pain during the beating.

Chen Qing ignored these disciples of the Zuanquan Sect. Amid the crying of people around him, he raised his hand and closed Li Hua's eyes.

Then he waved to the four men and women who were walking towards him.

The four people stood up in grief and walked up to him. The young man who spoke at the beginning, with red eyes, bowed slightly and asked, "Senior Chen, what can I do for you?"

"Here's a suggestion for you. Collect the guns dropped by the Ryusakura soldiers, and find a few people who can drive the military vehicles and chariots and put them aside."

Chen Qing said calmly, "Keep these weapons for yourselves, and then send two people to tell our Central Army about the situation here. You can hand over some of the weapons to them when appropriate, but don't hand over all of them. This is a special period. Only by holding the guns in your own hands can you have the capital to resist the Ryuying. I believe you have already experienced this firsthand."

When he was chasing those Ryuying soldiers, Li Hua told these people to listen to him next.

Although he didn't say it directly to him, Li Hua's first words after he came over pointed out that he was about to break through to the great master realm of "Three Huas Transformed Together". In fact, he was implying that he could hear what he said to his disciples and their families.

Therefore, when Chen Qing himself had some ideas about the families of these martial arts school disciples, he simply took direct command of everyone.

Of course, nominally, he added a sentence in front of it, which was advice to them.

But in the last sentence, Chen Qing directly pointed out the cruel truth that everyone had just faced the siege of Ryuying soldiers, but could only watch helplessly and was powerless to resist.

really!

After hearing Chen Qing's last words, the four young men and women fell silent.

After a moment, the young man who spoke first looked at Chen Qing firmly, nodded and said, "Senior, Master just told us that you actually have a grudge against him, but you can come to help at this time. This shows that you are a magnanimous person. Let us listen to you during this period of time!"

"And I think what you said is very right. Just because those Ryuo people have guns, we can only watch Master standing at the door and taking those bullets for our safety! With Master's strength, he can kill most of the Ryuo soldiers and leave calmly, but it's because of us..."

As he spoke, the young man's voice became choked up and his already red eyes became even redder.

After hearing this, the other three people's eyes turned red again.

Chen Qing looked at the four people and asked calmly, "What are your names?"

"My name is Ren Jianfeng."

"My name is Lu Junhao."

"Senior, my name is Yue Menglan."

"My name is Zhong Zhiheng."

The four of them replied one after another.

After hearing this, Chen Qing nodded, wrote down the names of the four people, and said, "Just do as I say. You don't have to go anywhere else during this period. The courtyard where your martial arts school is located is a stronghold with a wide view and is easy to defend but difficult to attack. You can use this place as your base and send people to patrol in batches. Just pay attention to the attacks of the Ryuying soldiers."

"Then talk to the Central Country military and ask them to send some people to Lu Xing. As I said, you can hand over some weapons to them when the time is right, and you can even give them all the five Ryuying chariots. But remember to negotiate the terms, and ask them to teach you some military knowledge. It would be best if we can work together to protect Lu Xing. If you really can't come to an agreement, you can bring me up and say that your master entrusted his son to me before he died. If you use force, let them consider whether it is wise to provoke a great master at this time."

"Finally, you should still have the fireworks flares you launched earlier, right? If you really can't hold on, no matter if the Ryuying soldiers or the Central Kingdom are threatening you, you can release more fireworks flares. I will rush over as soon as I see them. Do you understand?"

After the four of them listened carefully to Chen Qing's words, the first person to speak, a young man named Ren Jianfeng, immediately nodded solemnly and said, "Okay, Senior Chen, we'll remember it!"

After he finished speaking, the only woman among the four, the one named Yue Menglan, asked softly, "Senior Chen, are you leaving?"

Chen Qing's words revealed his intention to leave.

No one else wanted to ask, and finally the woman named Yue Menglan spoke up.

"Ah."

Chen Qing nodded slightly and said, "Currently, all nine districts of East City have been attacked. Other masters have their own martial arts schools and have to guard their own schools. They may not be able to spare time to support others. Only I am currently free, so I have to travel around."

The current situation has indeed exceeded the results of previous discussions among the martial artists.

They had thought before that Ryuying might land in Su Province and then attack the "Huhai", but they underestimated the intensity of the offensive launched by Ryuying.

According to their discussion, even if Liuying landed in Su Province, at most they could only attack two or three, four or five of the nine districts in East City.

In fact, most of them believed that it was just the death of a so-called sword master of Ryuying. In order to save face, even if Ryuying launched a war, they would at most land in coastal areas such as Gangqiao District in East City or Wusong District in West City.

Who would have known that the intensity of the offensive launched by Liuying would cover the entire ninth district of East City at once!

Now there is indeed only Chen Qing, a master who has no martial arts school but is arranged by his family, so he can travel around to provide reinforcements.

Of course, for Chen Qing, this is actually a good opportunity to win over the martial artists in East City.

Therefore, he naturally had to travel around.

"I see……"

After hearing Chen Qing's words, the four young men and women in front of them said nothing more.

At this special time, having a master like Chen Qing roaming around to provide reinforcements and rescue is indeed a blessing for all districts in Dongcheng.

Although their master has died, Chen Qing has also given them clear instructions. There is no reason to keep Chen Qing here any longer.

Thinking of this, the four of them looked at each other, and the young man "Ren Jianfeng" who spoke first clasped his fists and said: "From all colleagues in Zuanquan Sect, thank you again for your help!"

Hearing this, the others around him also clasped their fists and said in unison: "Thank you for your help, senior!"

"We are all from Central China, so you don't have to be polite."

Chen Qing waved his hand and said goodbye: "Okay, be careful, I'm leaving first."

As he spoke, he made a few leaps and jumped onto a nearby tall building.

When he came to the roof again and looked far away with a wide field of vision, he happened to see flames rising in the direction of Chenxing District in the distance, exploding into a beautiful firework in the dark night.

Chen Qing did not hesitate. He leaped quickly between the buildings of different heights and ran towards the direction where the fireworks were rising.

……

Huhuhu~
The sea breeze was howling. The moon, hanging high in the sky, was shaped like a tooth, casting a faint light on the sea.

Deep in the East China Sea.

On a small island.

A figure wearing a grey robe, with long hair and beard, sat cross-legged on a rock by the sea of ​​the island, with his eyes closed and regulating his breathing.

Suddenly, the figure opened his eyes abruptly and looked at the endless and pitch-black sea in front of him. Only the faint moonlight above his head illuminated a vague and hazy scene.

The figure stared like this for a moment.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!"

The sound of violent water splashes gradually came from far away.

Along with the sound of water splashing, there was also a white wave approaching the island rapidly.

After a minute or two.

The white waves finally came not far from the island.

The next second, a black shadow suddenly jumped out from the white waves, drew an arc parabola in the air, and then landed on the shore of the island.

"boom!"

With a muffled sound, the black shadow landed steadily on the beach near the island.

Under the faint moonlight.

It was a young woman wearing a white top and black bottom training suit and a neat ponytail.

After the young woman jumped onto the shore of the island, she quickly walked towards the reef where the figure was sitting cross-legged.

The figure on the reef also watched her approach quietly.

The young woman walked until there was about ten meters between them and finally stopped.

Afterwards, she raised her eyes, which were slightly red under the moonlight, and looked at the figure sitting cross-legged on the reef. He had white hair and long eyebrows and beard. He was looking at her with a pair of calm eyes and asked, "Master Jue, can I ask you a question?"

The figure sitting cross-legged on the reef looked at her calmly and said, "Who are you to ask me?"

The young woman was silent for a moment after hearing this, then she stood up straight, slightly bent her back, clasped her hands together and said loudly: "He Xihong, the eighth generation disciple of the White Tiger Hall of the Four Sacred Sects, greets Senior Juechen!"

These two people were none other than the world's top master Jue Chen, and He Xihong who was introduced to the "Way of Killing"!
After listening to He Xihong's introduction, Juechen, who was sitting cross-legged on the reef, nodded slightly and said, "Although you, the Four Saints, act casually, you haven't done anything too outrageous. Moreover, the ancestors of your Qinglong Hall have some connection with my inheritance master. Although you were led to the path of 'killing' by Emanuel, you have not lost yourself so far, and there is still room for salvation... What do you want to ask?"

He Xihong did not hesitate and asked: "I would like to ask you, Senior, what is the 'true self'!"

"Ok?"

Hearing He Xihong's question, Juechen couldn't help but frowned slightly.

He began to look He Xihong up and down.

After a moment, his gaze finally rested on He Xihong's slightly frowned face, which was faintly filled with a hint of pain. He sighed and said, "You finally listened to him talk about that legendary realm, right?"

He Xihong was silent.

She wasn't actually listening.

For a being at her level, the coordination of the body and the control of the five senses are already perfect.

If you don't want to hear or see something, you can just stop watching and listening before the other person opens his mouth.

But the problem is that the other party did not say it directly, but set a language trap during the conversation, leading and hinting at her to make relevant associations.

This was indeed something she had not expected.

But now that things have come to this, there is no point in explaining further.

After a moment of silence, she finally nodded and said, "Yes."

After seeing this, Juechen said nothing more and replied, "The so-called 'true self' is to know oneself and act as one should. People are born confused and often hesitate about where they come from, where they are going, and who 'I' am. These confusions obscure people's eyes, ears and souls, making it difficult to know oneself, let alone act as one should."

"Once you figure out these questions, you will know what your 'true self' is. The next step is to act accordingly. After knowing yourself, you must act accordingly. Otherwise, it is better not to know. However, I cannot see your condition clearly, so you'd better be cautious when searching for your 'true self'."

Speaking of the latter, Juechen couldn't help but shook his head slightly.

After hearing this, He Xihong frowned, and she said to herself with a trace of pain between her brows: "Know yourself... act as you should..."

Suddenly, Juechen, who was sitting cross-legged on the reef, stood up abruptly. At the same time, his originally calm eyes suddenly became sharp!

He looked towards the dark sky in the distance and said sternly, "You can leave now. Miyamoto Yoshio is coming. My brief truce with him is over. With him holding me back, you guys at Hu Hai can only fend for yourself."

After hearing this, He Xihong turned around without any hesitation and ran into the sea.

She had been observing the battle between the two peerless masters from afar for a whole day, so she naturally knew the gap between herself and the peerless masters.

It only took He Xihong a dozen seconds to run across the sea.

"boom!!!"

Huge waves suddenly rose up from not far away, roaring and engulfing the island!

……

Xicheng, Jiabei District.

A car slowly drove from the concession into the dark street.

The car then continued along the pitch-black road with its lights on.

About ten minutes later.

The car turned into a street lined with luxurious garden houses on both sides.

"Is this 'Yongyuan Road'?"

When the car drove into the street and the headlights swept across the luxurious garden houses on both sides of the street, Cui Wenjue, who was sitting in the driver's seat in the car and wearing a white suit, couldn't help but frown, "Houses in these places probably cost more than eight million. Even people like me don't even have the qualifications to buy them. After the fall of Daning, the result will not be much different. It's just that a new group of people have become powerful people."

While he was talking, his eyes kept looking through the car windows on both sides, looking at the house numbers on both sides, muttering: "Number 88... Number 88..."
