From the Ming Dynasty, we will conquer the world
Chapter 108: The Yuanxian that does not hurt, the small arrow that does not hurt people
Chapter 108: Yuan Xian, who does not feel sad, and the little arrow that does not hurt people (-word chapter)
Although it was the first time he met Yuan Xian, Xu Xing felt the same emotion as "Jian" in his heart.
The person before him was decisively different from the "Yuan Shisanxian" in his impression.
Even with Xu Xing's spiritual realm and keen perception, he could not feel even a little bit of "humanity" or the slightest bit of "self" from this "Yuan Shisanxian".
It seemed as if it was just an empty shell.
A heartless, soulless shell.
Xu Xing even thought of Ling Luoshi who opened the "fourth door".
The difference is that although Simen Ling Luoshi had lost his mind due to the murderous aura between heaven and earth and completely fell into the path of evil, he showed extremely rich emotional fluctuations, more like a demon with strong desires and no way of restraint.
However, Xu Xing could not feel the murderous intent, anger, or hatred from "Yuan Shisanxian", nor even any emotional fluctuations. He only had the deepest and heaviest obsession.
——Fight Zhuge, defeat Zhuge, kill Zhuge!
These nine words are like a curse engraved in Yuan Xian's bones, and are also the biggest limitation in his life.
When Yuan Shisanxian was not yet named "Shisan" because of his "Thirteen Unique Studied Skills", and was still just Yuanxian, he had fought side by side with Zhuge Zhengwo, and they were even friends, brothers, and even family members who depended on each other for life and death.
But apart from this side, the two have another identity.
That is the opponent.
Their two senior brothers, the eldest brother Ye Aichan entered the sect too early and had too high a status, so he was like a half-master to the two of them; the second senior brother was a person who was born weak and sickly, making it difficult for him to achieve peerless martial arts.
Therefore, two young men of similar age, equally talented and aptitude can only treat each other as opponents, hone their skills and practice martial arts.
However, when Yuan Xian was a teenager, he had fought with his third senior brother countless times, but he always lost more than he won, and luck was not without its share of factors.
And even if Zhuge defeated him, it was often only by one move, or both of them would simply suffer losses.
It’s just that Zhuge’s injuries were lighter and he recovered faster.
There is indeed a gap between the two of them, but this gap cannot convince Yuan Xian, nor can it make him stop chasing, nor can it make him feel afraid of Zhuge Zhengwo.
For people like Yuan Xian, the more they lose, the stronger their fighting spirit becomes, and the more determined they become to defeat Zhuge Zhengwo.
This kind of "persistence" drives him to learn martial arts and practice martial arts beyond his limits every day, even to the point of hurting himself.
But Zhuge Zhengwo was not obsessed with winning or losing. In his opinion, the safety of his junior brother Yuanxian was a hundred times more important than winning.
So he began to deliberately give in to Yuan Xian in the challenge.
This may be the most wrong decision Zhuge Zhengwo has ever made in his life.
Zhuge Zheng and I were still young at that time, so he didn’t understand that in Yuan Xian’s eyes, deliberate tolerance was tantamount to a kind of "charity".
For Yuan Xian, such "charity" was ten or a hundred times more humiliating than a simple defeat.
This was the beginning of the brothers' separation.
But even though there was a rift in their relationship, Yuan Xian was still grateful for Zhuge's love and kindness.
Even though he was dissatisfied with the behavior of his third senior brother, Yuan Xian knew that he was truly thinking about him.
Through such ideological construction, Yuanxian even put himself in the position of an inclusive person.
Because he had understood the third senior brother's painstaking efforts, but the third senior brother did not understand his arrogant temperament.
This kind of "tolerance" towards Zhuge Zhengwo became the guarantee that Yuanxian could live in peace with him.
However, after the two of them set out on their own and became the old generation of "Four Famous Detectives" and gained fame, Yuan Xian discovered that everything seemed not as smooth as for him as his third brother Zhuge Zhengwo.
Whether in the eyes of the other two senior brothers of Zizai Sect or in the eyes of other people, Yuan Xian's martial arts, wisdom, talent and gifts are not inferior to Zhuge Zhengwo.
But such comments often end with a final sentence of emotion, sigh, or sarcasm:
"Unfortunately, I just lacked a bit of luck."
If the two of them pursue the murderer separately, Mr. Zhuge will always successfully catch the fugitive murderer on the path of his choice, while Yuan Shisanxian will be stuck in a quagmire.
If the emperor wanted to summon the two people separately, there happened to be an earthquake on the day of the meeting with Yuan Shisanxian, so the summons would naturally be shelved. However, the day of the meeting with Zhuge Liang was sunny and windy, so the emperor asked Zhuge Zhengwo to go hunting with him.
These are real things that happened, and they were two of the most insignificant things that ever happened.
Yuanxian originally wanted to serve his country, but he was unlucky. When Wang Anshi was promoted to the rank of minister and held great power, he joined the emperor's younger brother Zhao Hao, but was abandoned by Wang Anshi. He had no choice but to join Cai Que, but was not very successful there.
However, Zhuge Zhengwo was appreciated by Wang Anshi, became friends with the Three Su brothers during the reign of Emperor Zhezong, and was highly valued by Sima Guang. Both the new and old party members had close relations with him.
Zhuge Zheng was also quite helpless about Yuan Xian's fate.
In his opinion, Yuan Xian fell into such a situation simply because he lacked a little luck.
Even if there is only a little bit of luck, with the martial arts, talent, and wisdom of this fourth junior brother, he will surely be able to rise with the wind and have a bright future.
Therefore, Zhuge Zhengwo wanted to speak up for Yuan Xian so that he could get out of this predicament.
But Yuanxian was a proud person to begin with, and because of his personal experience, he couldn't stand Zhuge Zhengwo, who had a successful career and was rising rapidly.
Therefore, even though he was talented but not appreciated and his ambitions were difficult to achieve, he would never accept Zhuge Zhengwo's help.
Yuan Xian mustered up his strength, wanting to fight not only Zhuge, but also the illusory, invisible and intangible, yet real situation and luck!
However, although he was a strong-willed person who loved to show off, he did not understand that there were some things in this world that could not be forced or fought for.
The current situation is one of them.
The times are changing rapidly. Who knows which way it will go today and which way it will go tomorrow?
Perhaps those who seem to be going against the trend and swimming against the current now will be the ones who have foresight and are the leaders when the time changes.
Mediocre people often like to use all their brains to gain advantages when things are going their way, but in the end they become doubtful and lose control of things, and end up with nothing.
Therefore, wise men like Zhuge Zhengwo often remain steadfast in their determination and remain true to themselves even when they have to go their own way.
Yuanxian is not that kind of person.
He just wants to achieve great success, if he fails, he will die a great death!
But Yuanxian didn't know what he would achieve or why he would fail, so he was destined to fail in his dreams.
Apart from these major events concerning a man's achievements, there was also an old grudge between Yuanxian and Zhuge Liang that stemmed from their romantic feelings.
They both fell in love with Zhi Xiaojing, the daughter of the rebellious Zhi Gao, and had some disputes and also some cooperation.
Yuanxian and Zhuge teamed up to kill Zhigao. Afterwards, Zhuge took the initiative to withdraw from the fight, allowing Yuanxian and Zhi Xiaojing to get married and have children.
From then on, Zhuge Zhengwo never married.
This was the only victory Yuan Xian had achieved during his decades of confrontation with Zhuge Liang, and it was an extremely significant victory.
It seemed that overnight, Yuan Xian obtained everything Zhuge had ever dreamed of. It could even be said that he lived a happier life than Zhuge.
However, this was just an illusion. Zhi Xiaojing married Yuan Xian only to use his talents and martial arts to avenge her father Zhigao.
To this end, she even gave her family's magic weapon "Sad Little Arrow" to Yuan Xian, her half-enemy, and forced Yuan Xian to practice archery day and night without stopping.
Before the Sad Arrow was fully developed, Yuan Xian's heart was almost torn apart. He became more and more crazy, practicing all the time, with a frenzy of revenge in his eyes that was almost like a beast.
Until this moment, Zhi Xiaojing finally understood that Yuan Xian had gone completely crazy, tortured by her false love and the jealousy and hatred in his heart towards Zhuge Zhengwo.
She knew that if Yuan Xian continued to practice, he would probably go completely insane. Feeling guilty, she gave up her body to obtain the "Mountain Sutra" that could assist the "Sad Arrow" for her husband.
Yuanxian actually knew all this a long time ago.
But in order to complete the "Sad Little Arrow", he even watched with his own eyes his wife Zhi Xiaojing use her own body to exchange the "Mountain Scripture" from the Three Whips Taoist.
But it is a "Mountain Character Classic" with countless errors, omissions and shortcomings.
When Yuan Xian finally mastered the "Mountain Character Sutra" and practiced the "Heartbreak Arrow", he also used this earth-shaking and dreamlike arrow to shoot and kill Zhi Xiaojing.
He got everything Zhuge Zhengwo desired, and then destroyed it with his own hands. However, Yuan Xian did not feel the slightest pleasure from this action. He was just sad and heartbroken.
Today, Yuanxian no longer longs for any happy and satisfying emotions.
He just wanted Zhuge to be sad, a hundred times sadder than him!
He just wanted Zhuge to be heartbroken, a thousand times more heartbroken than his!
Apart from this, Yuanxian has nothing else to ask for.
But ever since he met Zhuge Zhengwo at the Grand Tutor's Mansion, Yuan Xian knew that even with his current "sad little arrow", he was still unable to defeat the most talented, the most outstanding and the most outstanding great achiever of the second generation of Zizai Sect.
He could overcome the barriers in martial arts and survive the tribulations in officialdom, but he could not break the spell written with decades of blood and tears, nor could he get past the deadline created by countless tragic defeats!
Therefore, Yuan Xian returned to Yuanshen Mansion, abandoned the "Thirteen Secret Skills" and focused only on the "Sad Little Arrow".
Then, he abandoned the Zizai Sect's mental method that served as its foundation, abandoned the "Divine Art of Forbearance" that increased his vitality, and abandoned the "Mountain Sutra" that he had gone through great lengths to obtain.
In the end, he had even given up on himself.
Only the "sad little arrow" remains.
There is only an obsession.
Driven by this obsession, no matter who it is, as long as they stand in front of Zhuge, Yuan Xian will kill them without hesitation.
Just as Xu Xing was using the "Tianyu Qi Sword" to break the "Green Silk Arrow", Zhuge and others also sensed Yuan Xian's presence and looked forward.
Seeing Yuan Xian like this, Zhuge suddenly trembled, as if he had been hit by an invisible arrow. His heart was gripped with a wrenching pain and his face looked miserable.
He sighed, thrust the spear in his hand, and said:
"Stepping method, this battle is still..."
Before Zhuge Zheng and I finished speaking, Xu Xing shook his head:
"He is just a foolish fellow, why should we be so serious? I will use some tricks to capture him and then hand him over to you for punishment."
In his previous life, Xu Xing had already been quite impatient with the grudges between Zhuge Zhengwo and Yuan Shisanxian, as well as the bloody love triangle, and he had no good feelings towards Yuan Shisanxian at all.
In Xu Xing's opinion, people like Yuanxian, if they were alive, would only help the tyrant to commit evil, bring disaster to the world, and make those who care about and love him sad and suffer.
In this case, it would be better to let him, a bystander, take action and completely cut off the spiral of hatred, so that the earth will be clean and white.
After saying this, he turned his head and looked at Tian Jue.
"I'll have to trouble you with the matters here, Brother Dao."
Tian Jue knew what Xu Xing meant. He also felt that in addition to Yuan Xian, there were several other sharp auras worthy of attention, which were surrounding this place. They were obviously top masters who were rare in the world.
Tian Jue clasped his hands together and said calmly:
"Master Xu, please take care of yourself. With me here, even if I cannot kill all of those evildoers, I can at least keep Shen Hou and others safe."
After getting Tian Jue's guarantee, Xu Xing didn't say anything more.
Because Xu Xing knew that although Tian Jue was injured, even if he used all his strength, it would take him at least thirty moves to defeat the old monk.
With Xu Xing's current martial arts skills, although he can't be said to be the best in the world, he is not far behind. This also means that no matter what level of opponent he faces, Tian Jue can at least last thirty moves.
These thirty moves are enough time for Xu Xing to return for help.
Moreover, the two of them only relied on their extraordinary physical skills to arrive ahead. Qiao Feng and others were not far away. Once a war broke out, they would surely rush over.
Since this was the case, Xu Xing had no need to worry and he would take action immediately to capture Yuan Xian.
He took a step forward, and the hillside beneath his feet shook and trembled violently, as if it was about to be completely turned over by a huge earth dragon hidden in the soil. Amid the loud rumbling sound, smoke and dust rose up, and even Zhuge and others felt their bodies shaking.
Tian Jue pressed his feet lightly, and his internal force poured out. Circles of golden ripples like water waves spread out under his feet, overlapping and interweaving into intricate and luxurious patterns like mandala, completely stopping the movement on the hillside.
In the smoke and dust, a purple and green human-shaped light and shadow was seen rising into the sky. Two bright wings were vaguely visible behind it. The light was dazzling, as if it had taken away all the fortune of heaven and earth and became the only source of light, making the stars and the moon dim, and everything within a radius was clearly visible.
The wings of light shook, and with a loud roar like thunder and lightning, it headed straight for Yuanxian, three miles away.
The series of changes just now happened so quickly that Zhuge Zhengwo and others felt overwhelmed and unable to react, and were greatly shocked.
The shock first came from Tian Jue.
As soon as Zhuge Zhengwo and Master Lancan met the old monk, they knew that he was a top-notch practitioner of the authentic Buddhist Dharma, and one who had the most profound merits and achievements.
However, I didn't expect that as soon as this person opened his mouth, he was filled with murderous intent, which was totally contrary to the Buddhist principle of compassion.
——Where did Tafa invite such a master from?
Although Zhuge Zhengwo had never doubted Xu Xing's origins, he couldn't help but feel confused at this moment.
The second shock came from Xu Xing.
The force and power of his kick just now were completely different from what he did in his previous life in the Shenhou Mansion.
Although Zhuge Zhengwo had heard of his outstanding achievements, he knew that this teacher, whom he had high hopes for, had made great progress and had already expected it.
But hearing and knowing, and experiencing it personally, are two different things after all.
The first time Xu Xingfu revealed his "true face", he "astonished" Zhuge Zhengwo, the founder of the "amazing shot"!
After walking slowly, Tian Jue withdrew his inner strength, put his hands together and smiled at Zhuge Zhengwo and the others:
"Don't worry, I'm here tonight..."
Before he finished his words, a sword light appeared from fifty feet away, carrying the power of wind and thunder, tearing through the air and slashing towards the sky like a scorching rainbow.
Tian Jue's face remained unchanged. He raised his right sleeve and pushed out a palm from the side. His internal force surged and formed a real Mount Sumeru, which crashed towards the sword light.
Even though this sword has the ability to split mountains and break peaks, it is unable to break through this mountain which is formed purely by internal force and is between half real and half virtual.
The two collided with a loud bang, the air vibrated and collided, and there were chain explosions, emitting a thunderous sound like a heavenly dragon chanting, which was intended to destroy all heretics, but it still could not cover Tian Jue's indifferent voice.
"No matter who it is, no one can touch you."
The air swirled in all directions, and an old man stumbled back a few steps. He spun the sword in his hand, and the sword light circled around him, finally completely breaking the remaining palm power.
After destroying the palm force, the old man raised his long sword diagonally, looked at Tian Jue with fluttering sleeves, and said in a deep voice:
"Sumeru Mountain Palm? Who the hell are you?"
The person who came was none other than the "Sword" among the "Seven Sword Gods". He had just seen that Xu Xing was not easy to deal with, so he took this opportunity to rush to Zhuge Zhengwo and others, wanting to achieve success with one strike and take the head of this divine marquis first.
But who could have imagined that such an old monk with inhumanly strong palm power would suddenly appear in the middle of the road?
As they were talking, "Old Zhang Fei", "Yixiantian", and the other six sword gods had also arrived. They stood side by side with "Sword" and faced Tian Jue with an extremely solemn attitude.
Obviously, Tian Jue's palm strike just now had shocked these masters. They dared not act rashly and instead were on high alert.
Tian Jue smiled slightly and said clearly:
"My name is Tian Jue..."
Tian Jue?
Is there such a person among the Shaolin monks of the highest level?
The Qi Jue Divine Sword, who had been in seclusion for many years, was stunned, but the "First-line King" and "Old Zhang Fei" who had been in the court for a long time changed their expressions, and vaguely thought of a legendary figure related to the "Twenty-three Wonderful Monks".
There was also an old female voice coming from nowhere, and it was hard to tell where it came from. The words were shrill and filled with indignation:
"Song Baoshi, how dare you play tricks on me?!"
Tian Jue was not surprised that "Grandma Tang" could recognize his identity. After all, it was Grandma Tang who summoned Xuan Cheng away, causing him to lose a good disciple.
His identity as Song Baoshi could not be hidden from anyone, not even from Xuan Cheng who had learned the "Four Doors Screen Technique", and certainly not from "Grandma Tang" the head of the Tang family.
——Or rather, the former head.
Tian Jue smiled slightly:
“After Xuan Cheng left, I had planned to spend the rest of my life in the secret cave in the back mountain, enjoying teaching disciples and studying martial arts.
But what can I do? I have received the favor of Master Xu, and Shaolin also owes Master Xu a favor, so I have to come this time. "Grandma Tang sneered:
"How dare you call me 'old monk' in front of me? You are the invincible 'Nine Five Gods' Song Baoshi who dominates the world.
Even if he becomes a monk and takes the tonsure, he is still Song Baoshi, and can only be Song Baoshi!"
The Nine-Five God Lord Song Baoshi!
This name is far more shocking than the word "Tian Jue". The "Six Absolute Sword Gods" were all speechless, while the faces of "Sword", "Old Zhang Fei" and "The King of the Line" became more and more solemn, knowing that the person in front of them might be their strongest enemy in this life.
When the "Nine-Five God" used to dominate the world with the "Four Doors Screen Technique", he was already invincible.
Now that he has been hiding in Shaolin for decades and has come out again, even if his martial arts skills have not improved compared to before, he is still a scary and terrifying enemy.
Even the people from Zizai Sect were shocked. Only then did they realize why there was such a strong murderous intent in the old monk's words. It seemed that even though this "Nine-Five Divine Lord" had practiced Zen for many years, he still hadn't changed his nature!
Tian Jue smiled again:
"Since you insist on asking, how about I become the 'Nine Five Divine Lord' once again?"
He raised his head, and that gentle and indifferent expression suddenly disappeared, turning into a look of arrogance and contempt for the world and everything, and his tone also carried an unquestionable majesty.
"Now, who will die first?!"
Even though he is still wearing a monk's robe, he gives people the feeling that he is truly an emperor who rules the world, dominates the world, holds power in his hands, and has the power of life and death!
-
Although Tian Jue burst out with infinite power and challenged several masters head-on, in Yuan Xian's eyes at this moment, there was still only the purple-green light and shadow flying towards him.
The light golden color on his body seemed even more solemn at this moment. It no longer looked like gold lacquer, but rather like mottled brass. His majestic body was like an old and terrifying Vajra statue, not moved at all by external things.
Yuan Xian took a step forward, and the dust, grass stems, and gravel on the ground suddenly floated up, like suspended raindrops, or like arrows ready to be shot.
Yuan Xian's figure was also frozen in it, as if the entire world had turned into a motionless scroll at this moment. Only one thing was unrestricted, like catkins in the wind, still floating leisurely.
That was a strand of Yuan Xian’s hair.
The hair fell in front of Yuan Xian's chest, and the bowstring of the miniature bow in his hand shook slightly. It was this slight vibration that immediately shattered the still picture and turned it into thunder.
Yuan Xian moved his lips and whispered:
"Three thousand feet of white hair..."
As he chanted, his hollow face suddenly twisted into an expression of extreme pain, but his eyes did not change at all, as if he was wearing a crude and funny human skin mask.
Before he finished reading the poem, there was a sudden explosion of arrows leaving the bowstrings and bows breaking, which suppressed his voice and turned it into an indistinct noise.
Circles of transparent ripples spread out around Yuan Xian's body, and thousands of fragments whizzed out. The thin strand of hair disappeared without a trace.
Now, Xu Xing is less than two miles away from Yuanxian.
In mid-air, he suddenly looked up and saw a thin strand of hair floating slowly from the front.
Without thinking, Xu Xing stretched out his right arm, and his five fingers turned into claws. The air flow rolled, causing crisp collision sounds, tinkling and clanging, like splashing pearls and breaking jade, which was the "Tianyu Mingwang Claw".
Even a peak powerhouse like Tian Jue could not avoid Xu Xing's "Tian Yu Ming Wang Claw", let alone this small "Green Silk Arrow".
Xu Xing gathered his five fingers together and grasped the thin strand of hair with incredible precision, not an inch off.
The hair vibrated violently between the five fingers, making a buzzing sound, and finally caused a faint green smoke to emanate from between Xu Xing's fingers, which showed how powerful and fast it was.
Even though he caught the arrow, Xu Xing was still slightly stunned, because he felt that Yuan Xian's arrow did not carry the slightest bit of sharpness, but only one emotion, an emotion of self-harm and hurting others.
This emotion is not like a surging wave that drowns people all at once, but like a gurgling stream, small but deep, slow and long.
It is a kind of tenacious power that gradually erodes people's hearts like water dripping through stone.
This kind of power is called sorrow.
As soon as he saw the thin strand of hair, Xu Xing thought of a poem:
——The autumn wind and rain make people depressing.
This is exactly the variation of the "Sad Little Arrow" that Yuan Xian learned from Zhi Xiaojing after he shot her to death with one arrow.
When Zhuge voluntarily gave up the competition, Zhi Xiaojing married Yuan Xian, the murderer of her father, and gave her body to Sanbian, her already broken heart was completely shattered.
During the days of seeking the "Mountain Character Sutra" for Yuan Xian, Zhi Xiaojing had no hatred, no love, and no obsession. She was just melancholy and sad.
This emotion is not like depression, which can be dissipated once success is achieved; it is not like anger, which can be vented by drawing a sword; and it is not like hatred, which can be ended when revenge is taken.
This is a power that is tortuous and lingering.
In the end, Zhi Xiaojing was freed by Yuan Xian's arrow, but his melancholy was inherited by Yuan Xian, becoming proof that Zhi Xiaojing had once lived, and also a weapon for him to use against Zhuge.
How does a person become "sad"?
In Yuanxian's view, all "sadness" is "self-injury". Only one's own experiences can make oneself sad, and one's own feelings can make oneself heartbroken.
Being able to empathize with other people is one of the most difficult things in the world, but Yuanxian has achieved it in a different way by destroying his own self.
He not only trained himself into the "sad little arrow" itself, but also trained himself into a mirror without self.
Only such a mirror can reflect the truest self deep in everyone's heart and reflect their truest emotions.
Without the limitations of the self, one can use such a little emotion to hurt the enemy.
Generally speaking, those who can achieve great success in martial arts are those who have great emotions and rich experience.
And the more such people are, the more difficult it is for them to resist Yuan Xian's "sad little arrow". Everything in their past will now turn into a weapon that kills them.
However, Yuan Xian's "sad little arrow" had no effect on people like Xu Xing.
It's not that he doesn't know the feeling of sorrow. After leaving the familiar Earth in his previous life and leaving the Ming world, his second home, as well as those friends, brothers and relatives, Xu Xing would also feel melancholy and sad.
But in the eyes of Xu Xing, who has died once, people embark on a path towards death from the moment they are born.
This road is called life.
This is a road on which there is no turning back and separation is unavoidable, so why not walk with your head held high and face everything?
Being sad about this for a long time will only add to your troubles and waste your life.
It is because of this idea that Xu Xing does whatever he wants, or acts recklessly. Only in this way can he live happily.
Xu Xing is sensitive, but never melancholy.
Therefore, such arrows could not hurt him at all.
However, the methods demonstrated by Yuan Xian still left Xu Xing with a refreshing feeling.
Ever since he came out of seclusion in the Langhuan blessed land, the top masters he faced, such as Ling Luoshi, Wu Xingyun, and Tian Jue, were all strong in their ability to mobilize the spiritual power of heaven and earth, reaching a brief state of "harmony between man and nature", and using this to display all kinds of martial arts beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Among them, Tian Jue is the best. He has almost been completely reborn, sublimated from a flesh and blood body into a pure spiritual creature.
But Yuan Xian’s martial arts path is completely different from theirs. If Tian Jue and others are an extreme "external seek", then Yuan Xian is an extreme "internal seek".
Xu Xing once said that telekinesis is a force that is more "internal" than internal force, but Yuan Xian has taken this "internal" force to another level.
What he grasped was emotion.
In fact, using the power of emotions is the unique skill of Zizai Sect. Since Wei Qingqingqing, the disciples of Zizai Sect are best at using various feelings and emotions as power to create one bizarre martial art after another.
Even if they want to rely on the spiritual power of heaven and earth, they do not rely on strong mental power to control it, nor do they pray by paying homage to gods and Buddhas like the Tantric Buddhism.
What they do is resonate.
Use your emotions and your own intentions to communicate with the spiritual power between heaven and earth, allowing the spiritual power to move voluntarily according to your will.
This is why, when facing Zhuge Zhengwo, Fang should see that the power of the magical skill "One Qi Penetrating the Sun and the Moon" will be used for his benefit.
In fact, every martial artist knows the principle of the combination of Qi and intention, but the mind is fickle and complex. It is completely impossible to expect every move and every form to fully reflect the current mood.
Moreover, the mind can enhance the power of the moves, but it can also conversely affect the performance of the moves. If the mind is distracted, the movements will be flawed, and if the spirit is scattered, the martial arts will have flaws.
Therefore, in order to maximize the power and allow the mind to change without interfering with the moves, the first lesson for warriors is often to concentrate the mind and energy and put aside distracting thoughts.
Even Zhuge Zhengwo, or even Wei Qingqingqing, could not adjust their emotions all the time and always maintain resonance with the heaven and earth, nor could they integrate the ever-changing power of emotions into their moves.
Therefore, they only regarded this emotional power as an aid to enhance their offensive, and still used internal strength and spiritual power to kill the enemy.
But the limit is different.
He completely abandoned his inner strength, his spiritual power, and even the resonance between man and the universe, and only pursued empathy between people.
Through such renunciation, as well as extreme "introspection" and "examination", he has been able to refine the fleeting emotions and thoughts in the human body, which are like bubbles, into real and genuine power.
This is an extremely "internalized" force that originates completely from the mind, does not derive any internal force, does not involve spiritual power, and does not interfere with the body.
This power is quite similar to the state of "true emptiness and wonderful existence" that Xu Xing achieved after "breaking the void".
It’s just that Xu Xing is the true nature of self-nature that “originally there is nothing”, while Yuan Xian abandons everything, isolates himself from everything, and ultimately gains the ability to transform everything.
Xu Xing was startled at first, then he sighed.
--Pity.
If he had known earlier that Yuan Xian had such means, he should have gone to Yuanshen Mansion to see it for himself. It would be a bit boring to come here now.
While he was sighing with emotion, Yuan Xian had already fired six arrows in succession, carrying the power of the seven emotions, and struck him from a distance.
From the arrow just now, Xu Xing already had some vague understanding, so this time, he simply didn't block it. With his outstanding spiritual realm, he swallowed up all these emotional forces.
After being hit by six arrows, six kinds of emotions surged in Xu Xing's body. He could hardly help but recall the past, looking at the things he had experienced from six different perspectives.
For a moment, Xu Xing even felt as if he was divided into six pieces, and then used six filters to examine his memories. Even if it was the same experience, through this method, he could have six completely different feelings.
In this way, Xu Xing's understanding and mastery of the "power of emotions" have been further improved. In fact, with his spiritual realm, he has long been able to control every thought of his.
But true feelings always come from the heart, no one knows where they come from or where they go. All Xu Xing can grasp is the existence of that moment.
However, after receiving the seven arrows from Yuanxian, he vaguely sensed a series of complex changing trends and directions of his emotions, such as joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.
At this moment, Xu Xing had some profound insights in his heart.
——The power between heaven and earth is indeed great, but the power deep in the soul is by no means inferior, and may even surpass it.
In the past, he relied on the strength of his soul and mental power to forcibly interfere with reality and change his physical body. Now it seems that compared with Yuan Xian's extremely delicate operation and silent influence, it was still a bit too rough and unnatural.
If he could learn Yuan Xian's methods, grasp the birth and death of various emotions, and even transform emotions into power, his "true form of Dharma body" would definitely be improved.
However, it is obvious that Yuan Xian himself has not reached that level.
The seven arrows fell, and Xu Xing had landed ten feet in front of Yuan Xian.
Looking at Yuan Xian, who had a blank look on his face and was about to draw his bow and shoot an arrow, Xu Xing shook his head and sighed:
“Giving up everything in exchange for pure emotional power is indeed a good idea, but is this really your martial arts?
The sad little arrow is the magic weapon of the Zhi family. The Zizai Sect's great method and the art of forbearance are taught by Wei Sanqing, and the Mountain Scripture is obtained for you by Zhi Xiaojing.
"Yuanxian, ah Yuanxian, you are a disciple of Zizai Sect in vain. Throughout your life, can you have your own original creations and ambitions?"
After the next seven arrows, Xu Xing had a deeper understanding of Yuan Xian's progress in martial arts. He not only knew the principle of "Sad Little Arrow", but also understood the shortcomings of his martial arts.
Xu Xing could see that in order to defeat Zhuge Zhengwo, Yuan Shisanxian had given up all his martial arts and placed all his bets on the "Sad Little Arrow".
Therefore, he went from the "Yuan Thirteen Limits" to the current Yuan Limit - the Yuan Limit with only Zhuge Zhengwo as one major limit.
But what’s the point of such a sad little arrow?
Emotions and feelings are the most ever-changing things in this world.
But ever since Yuan Xian gave up his "self", he lost the possibility of change, and the power of the "Sad Little Arrow" has become completely constant.
This arrow might be able to kill 99% of the people in the world, and it might really help him get revenge, but there would be no new breakthroughs or new changes.
Even if Yuan Xian killed Zhuge Zhengwo with such an arrow, it could not prove that he was stronger than Zhuge Zhengwo. It could only prove one thing.
That is, Zhuge Zhengwo cares about him and loves him more than he imagined.
Xu Xing believed that this was definitely not Yuan Xian’s original intention.
During this long entanglement of hatred, Yuan Xian changed. Not only did he become unscrupulous and unscrupulous, but even his original intention of winning became to kill Zhuge.
Moreover, in Xu Xing's opinion, this kind of archery is extremely boring. He feels that this behavior is similar to those children he knew in his previous life who mutilated themselves or even committed suicide because of their parents' sadness.
No matter whose fault it is, such an action is meaningless.
Hearing Xu Xing's question, Yuan Xian remained unmoved and just kept pulling the bow. Xu Xing shook his head again and sighed:
"Forget it. I'm sure Mr. Zhuge doesn't want you to die in confusion, so I'll be kind and help you find yourself first, and then let you be a clear-headed ghost."
In fact, Xu Xing really didn't care about people like Yuan Xian at all. As for those who deserved to die, he was only responsible for sending them to the underworld.
However, Yuan Xian has another identity, he is Zhuge Zhengwo's junior brother, and Xu Xing has received a lot of favors from the Divine Marquis Mansion, so he also sympathizes with this Divine Marquis.
Anyway, Yuan Xian must die, and he will definitely die. Xu Xing would not hesitate to let him give full play to his last energy before his death, so that Zhuge would not suffer so much.
After he finished speaking, Xu Xing took another step forward, a golden light bloomed between his brows, and he turned his palm to cover Yuan Xian.
Yuan Xian's body shook and his head dropped suddenly.
Xu Xing was returning the seven kinds of emotional power that Yuan Xian had just injected into his body intact.
The two stood opposite each other, staring at each other in silence.
Yuan Xian only felt that countless memories were flooding into his heart like a tide at this moment, but they were so blurry that he couldn't see them clearly.
This fleeting memory did not wake Yuan Xian up, but it activated the only obsession that remained in his body and enabled him to sustain until today.
Yuan Xian's strong body suddenly began to shake violently. He raised his head abruptly, his expression dazed and frantic, and he roared like a madman.
All kinds of emotions were intertwined in his body, including love and affection for Zhi Xiaojing, respect and fear for his master, anger and hatred for Zhuge...
In the end, the strongest and most fundamental feeling is one of confidence, lofty aspirations, and the desire to compete with the gods.
This is exactly the root cause of the conflict between Yuanxian and Zhuge:
——Just because he is a proud, arrogant, conceited and self-righteous person who claims that he can dominate the world and look down on all the heroes!
However, this ambition was completely worn out by long-term failures and eventually turned into obsession and hatred towards Zhuge.
In fact, this was not Yuan Xian’s original intention.
Now, Xu Xing helped him find his original heart.
Yuan Xian finally opened his eyes.
The emptiness and nothingness in his eyes faded away, and the hatred and anger that was surging in his body gradually subsided, and he became extremely calm.
Combined with his light golden face, he really looks like a transcendent god or Buddha.
Xu Xing was not surprised, he just raised his eyebrows, eager to try and suggested with interest:
"Another shot?"
Yuan Xian closed his eyes and thought for a while, then opened them again.
He said only one word.
"it is good".
