Embers of Sword

Chapter 399 Two Hundred Miles

There is a reopening day, and no one is young.

Most people in this world are qualified to say this, but the two people who are talking at this moment are not qualified.

Xie Xuanyi does not believe in reincarnation or rebirth.

But he relied on the "Fountain of Immortality" to live a second life.

"So the Zen master gave you this golden cicada because he wanted to use you to tell the Buddhist community... that he might actually have a third life?"

A bold idea emerged in Miaozhen's mind.

The third life?!

Xie Xuanyi was shocked by this idea.

But soon, Miao Zhen denied himself. He laughed at himself and rubbed his brows: "The way of heaven is constant, and life and death have limits. How can someone live forever? Although the Zen master has comprehended the 'way of life', he is still just an ordinary person after all. If the Zen master can live a third life, why hide it in this way?"

He is a good example.

After eliminating his spiritual thoughts and successfully reincarnating, Miaozhen chose to revive in an era of prosperity.

The Buddhist community took great care of the entire process.

If the Zen master could live another life, then Fanyin Temple would protect the Zen master's "reincarnated soul" at all costs.

Miyun does not need to bear the current great disaster.

"Cicada and Zen are homophones."

"No one could understand what the Zen master did throughout his life. He cultivated countless monks in the Fanyin Temple and planted many good karmas for Buddhism."

"I really can't guess the purpose of the Zen master giving the cicada..."

Miao Zhen sighed and said, "The knowledge of destiny is one of the most difficult magical powers to comprehend in Buddhism... I only know how to fight, but I don't know about cause and effect. I am afraid that it will be hopeless to cultivate this magical power in my lifetime. Brother Xie, if you want to know the answer to the mystery, you may have to wait until Miyun becomes enlightened, comprehends destiny, and steps into the long river again in the future to find the answer to this question."

Xie Xuanyi nodded silently.

He couldn't understand the meaning of this golden cicada, and neither could Miao Zhen.

That being the case.

It can only be put on hold for the time being.

He had a premonition that perhaps one day in the future, he would meet the Zen master again in the long river of fate. At that time, the significance of this golden cicada would come to light.

……

……

Miaozhen took Miyun and left the desert.

Xie Xuanyi stood on the sand hill and watched the two people leave.

Because of the damage to his soul, Miyun fell into a coma and did not even say goodbye to the end.

But that’s fine too.

Xie Xuanyi was not used to saying goodbye.

Leave silently, no need to say much, thousands of words, see you next time.

Deng Baiyi stood silently beside Xie Zhen.

The silence didn't last long.

"I said the surname is Xie..."

Chu Guo held the umbrella sword in both hands, his feet sunk into the quicksand. After waiting for a long time, he finally couldn't help but speak: "Everyone has left, should we leave too?"

Sun exposure.

Hot wind blows in my face.

The young man had a bitter look on his face. The reason why he spoke in a hurry was not because he had no patience to wait any longer, but because the wind and sand were so strong that he could not open his eyes. His body was usually used to seeing patients and running errands, and he felt as light as a feather. If it weren't for the umbrella sword to hold him down, he would probably be blown away if the wind was stronger.

Moreover, what happened in the past few days made Chu Guo cautious...

The cavalry under Chen Chong's command surrounded Yuanzhou layer by layer. This place is located at the junction of Yuanzhou and Yuzhou. It looks desolate and may not be very safe.

"Yes."

Xie Xuanyi said calmly: "It's time to go."

In the sight, two monks, one big and one small, disappeared in the boundless wind and sand.

Miaozhen took Miyun away.

Miaozhen has now been promoted to a Yin God, and with the "divine power of feet", he can travel very fast.

Although the journey back to Fanyin Temple from here is a bit long, the disaster has ended and there should be no other dangers.

As for myself...

After being promoted to Yin God.

Xie Xuanyi's heart was calmer than ever before.

Back when I was traveling around the world with just a sword, I was in the Yin Shen realm.

The country is in turmoil, the court is treacherous, and there is infighting within the sect.

But the iron rule of the Ten Heroes is high and mighty, and no one will easily violate it. Without the Yang Spirit coming out, there are very few practitioners who can threaten Xie Xuanyi now.

This is the reason for the great freedom of the lake of mind.

"I heard there's a ship over in Qujiang?" Chu Guo asked curiously.

"Two hundred miles."

Xie Xuanyi nodded and said, "We don't have much time left, only three days."

Say it.

He determined the direction with his mind, and then began to walk through the desert.

"Etc., etc……"

Chu Guo was a little dumbfounded: "Aren't you a sword immortal? Why are you walking?!"

"Let's go first."

Xie Xuanyi looked back at the young man carrying the sword in a panic and said calmly, "Nalan Xuance has set up an [Iron Curtain] over the Dali Dynasty. If you use a flying sword and rashly pass through it, you may be captured."

Chu Guo gritted his teeth and said, "In three days, we have to travel two hundred miles? Is it possible?"

"There's enough time."

Xie Xuanyi said calmly: "Follow me, you will be in time."

"Are you telling the truth?"

Chu Guo scratched his head and said in distress: "Is Nalan Xuance so powerful? He is the boss of the entire Dali Dynasty."

"……Um."

Xie Xuanyi hummed lightly in a perfunctory manner.

This is of course a lie.

[Iron Curtain] can indeed do the same as [Hunyuanyi], locking onto an area and carefully identifying the Qi.

But the Dali Dynasty was too big after all.

Today, the Lord of Fire took action and broke the ambush in Douzhou. Nalan Xuance's main attention has not yet shifted away from Douzhou, and the information about the defeat of the Yuanzhou cavalry should still be on the way. When he realizes that something is wrong and wants to regain control of the situation, he will need to spend his life and use the Mysterious Micro Technique... It will take at least several days to locate Xie Xuanyi's approximate location.

By then.

Xie Xuanyi had already returned to Qujiang and boarded the Purple and Green Treasure Ship.

More than enough time.

This is also the reason why Xie Xuanyi is not in a hurry to "control the sword".

Of course, there is another reason...

Since he promised to teach the young man how to practice sword, Xie Xuanyi has taken this matter to heart. Regardless of whether the young man is sincere in practicing sword or not, he will teach him sincerely. Xie Xuanyi knew that after returning to Chu State, Chu Guo would soon be picked up by the library. Before parting, he must give the young man a good lesson.

The wind blew sand across the sky. Deng Baiyi stretched out her hand to tuck her hair in. Her expression was a little subtle.

Deng Baiyi subconsciously looked at Xie Zhen.

Based on her understanding of Xie Zhen.

The sword cannot be wielded here is probably a deceptive excuse.

really.

After looking at each other, Xie Xuanyi remained calm and returned the look.

Deng Baiyi understood and cooperated tacitly, urging in a low voice: "Alright, let's go quickly, why are you asking so many questions, can we harm you?"

Chu Guo was speechless.

Also.

Taoyuan was in trouble. If it weren't for Xie Zhen and Deng Baiyi, I would have died.

The young man sighed and said no more.

The dust was rolling, and people in black and white were walking ahead.

Xie Xuanyi didn't walk very fast.

He silently released the Dao realm thoughts of the martial arts god fetus, covering a five-foot range around his body, shielding the woman next to him from the wind and sand, so Deng Baiyi also walked very easily with brisk steps. Walking in the desert, she did not feel the scorching heat, nor the heat. Occasionally, there was a breeze blowing by, blowing on the cheek, making people feel relaxed and happy.

As for Chu Guo, it was a completely different scene.

The young man held an umbrella and sword and walked forward in small steps. As soon as one foot pulled out of the mud and sand, the other foot sank back in. It took a lot of effort to take a step, and he could only stagger like this to barely keep up with the two people in front of him who were strolling leisurely.

The stumbling young man gritted his teeth, and a genuine envy and awe arose in his heart.

Xie and Deng are indeed immortals who practice Taoism. They can walk through this dangerous situation as if it were flat ground...

I really can't compare.

But there is one thing that is really strange.

When I held the umbrella before, I clearly didn't feel it was heavy.

But now, when he walked with the sword in his arms, he felt that the sword was very heavy, as if it were made of mercury.

If the young man's cultivation level was higher and he could advance to the realm of controlling Qi, he would see that behind him, there was a golden divine fetus looming and spreading, with its clothes rustling. This divine fetus had an expressionless face, and it leaned over and stretched out a finger, gently pressing on the umbrella handle, silently exerting force without stopping.
