Wandering Sword Seller's Life in the Qin Dynasty

"What is your intention? You'll find out as you keep reading!"

Xu Qing spoke calmly.

Seeing this, Xiaoyaozi gave Xu Qing a deep look, but in the end, he managed to restrain himself.

And so, the scene in the mirror began to change once again.

Wearing a Taoist robe, Qingxuan seemed to have returned to Daliang City and transformed back into Wei Wushang.

"Wu Shang, you are a member of the Wei family, you should serve your country with utmost loyalty!"

An aged voice rang in Wei Wushang's ears; it was the voice of Wei Wushang's father.

At first, however, Wei Wushang did not seem to take it to heart.

The scene flashed, and we were back in the mountains.

"Senior Brother Qingxuan, do you know?"

"The Qin state has already destroyed the Zhao state, and with the Han state already destroyed, two of the three Jin states have been wiped out!"

This was something a disciple of the Human Sect, who had returned from traveling down the mountain, told Qingxuan.

Upon hearing this, Qingxuan remained silent.

He quietly went to the back mountain, took out an ocarina he had carried with him when he left home, and began to play the music of his hometown.

The mournful music began, and Xu Qing's words echoed in Xiaoyaozi's ears, "This is a tune from the Wei Kingdom, called Zhihu, which expresses longing for loved ones..."

"It seems Qingxuan misses his family very much!"

Xu Qing explained to Xiaoyaozi.

Xu Qing was learned in both astronomy and physics, and also had some understanding of music.

Upon hearing this, Xiaoyaozi simply looked at Qingxuan with an even deeper gaze.

In the clear mirror, after Qingxuan finished playing the tune, he spoke softly: "The three Jin states are united. Han and Wei have already been destroyed. How can Wei remain unscathed?"

His voice went unanswered.

Time flies, and some years have passed.

On this day, Qingxuan heard another piece of bad news.

"Daliang City has fallen..."

Upon hearing this news, a trace of pain immediately appeared in Qingxuan's eyes.

But he quickly went into hiding.

"you?"

Xiaoyaozi looked at Xu Qing again, his eyes filled with confusion.

If I remember correctly, the Wei Kingdom was not destroyed yet, so how could there be a story about the fall of Daliang?

"Zhuangzi dreamt he was a butterfly, and the butterfly dreamt he was Zhuangzi!" Xu Qing said softly. "Zhuangzi was a master of your Human Sect. I thought you could understand this principle."

“In dreams, there are countless possibilities. I am just using this dream to make Qingxuan’s deepest obsession more concrete… The destruction of the Wei Kingdom is inevitable. Even if it is not destroyed now, it will be destroyed soon.”

"What choice will Qingxuan make then?"

Xiaoyaozi took a deep breath, said no more, and continued watching.

He soon learned of Qingxuan's choice.

Chapter 314 The Daoist name is Xiaoyao, but he is not carefree at all!

Faced with the fall of the Wei Kingdom, Qingxuan outwardly appeared to be like the Taoist disciples from the six kingdoms, detached from worldly affairs and cultivating in seclusion in the mountains.

But secretly, he sneaked into the forbidden area of ​​the Heavenly Sect and stole the sect's secret techniques.

Upon seeing this, Xiaoyaozi frowned slightly.

But he didn't say anything.

If, as Xu Qing said, this is a dream, and this dream evolved from Qingxuan himself, then this is very likely the choice he would make in this situation.

Xiaoyaozi was not someone who couldn't distinguish right from wrong.

He also did not believe that Xu Qing was deliberately slandering Qingxuan.

After all, the two had no grudges against each other.

As for why Qingxuan wanted to steal the martial arts of the Heavenly Sect?

Xiaoyaozi soon had his answer as well.

The Heavenly Sect is a sect very similar to the Yin-Yang School, which is willing to give up everything in pursuit of the Heavenly Dao.

The Human Sect emphasizes the cultivation of one's character and mind through the experiences of the mortal world, using these experiences to refine one's spiritual realm.

The Heavenly Sect, however, is different. It emphasizes innate talent. Because its disciples are all highly talented, many of its unique skills are created for those with good aptitude. Under such circumstances, many of its unique skills can be learned quickly.

This is also where they are similar to the Yin-Yang School.

The difference is that the Heavenly Sect's unique skills are not as extreme as those of the Yin-Yang School, which are prone to falling into demonic ways.

Unless one achieves sudden enlightenment, it is difficult to gain great power in a very short period of time through the cultivation methods of the Human Sect.

However, the Heavenly Sect's techniques can.

Clearly, under such circumstances, it would be difficult for Seigen to achieve enlightenment upon learning of the fall of his homeland.

He secretly learned the Heavenly Sect's martial arts techniques precisely for the sake of power.

Xiaoyaozi had a guess in his mind, and it turned out to be true.

In a short period of time, Qingxuan secretly mastered a Heavenly Sect technique to a high level. It was at this time that his infiltration of the Heavenly Sect's library was exposed.

Therefore, he was subjected to a public trial by the two sects of Heaven and Man.

Ultimately, he was expelled from Taoism.

On the surface, it seems that Qingxuan was very careless in doing things.

However, after carefully observing Qingxuan's behavior, Xiaoyaozi discovered that it seemed to be something the other party had done on purpose.

The reason is that the technique Qingxuan stole this time was actually a secret technique of the Heavenly Sect that he had already mastered.

He seemed to be deliberately exposing himself in order to be expelled from the Taoist school.

So why did Qingxuan choose to become a traitor to Taoism and sever ties with it?

Xiaoyaozi gradually quieted down, watching Qingxuan's every move intently.

The answer to this matter was not long afterward.

Qingxuan chose to revert to his original name, "Wei Wushang," and began assassinating Qin generals who were attacking Wei, seemingly in an attempt to protect his homeland through this act.

As a result, it naturally ended in failure.

Even though Qingxuan had cultivated in the Human Sect for many years and was quite strong, and had even secretly learned the Heavenly Sect's unique skills, facing an important general guarded by many soldiers, unless he had reached the pinnacle of cultivation and attained the realm of the celestial being, it would be tantamount to throwing an egg against a rock and courting death.

Qingxuan, reflected in the mirror, is dead.

And so, this dream came to an end.

In a daze, Xiaoyaozi found himself back in reality, with Xu Qing standing beside him.

Meanwhile, Qingxuan, the protagonist of the previous dream, was in a coma. He was lying on the ground, but fortunately his breathing was steady and he seemed to be alright.

What are your thoughts?

Xu Qing, still holding the Worldly Sword, asked Xiaoyaozi.

"All sentient beings are attached!"

Xiaoyaozi sighed, "How easy is it to understand those loves, hates, and grudges!"

He recalled the instructions Xu Qing had given him when they had traveled through the mountains together.

At that time, he had actually taken those words to heart.

Unexpectedly, just a few days later, Xu Qing used this method and this peculiar sword to let him see once again the obsession in his disciple's heart.

"You have already witnessed Qingxuan's obsession."

Let's take another look at other people's obsessions!

Xu Qing then spoke to Xiaoyaozi.

He didn't give Xiaoyaozi a chance to refuse at all.

With a single step, he instantly appeared in another location.

Seeing this, Xiaoyaozi glanced at Qingxuan, who was sleeping on the ground. After thinking for a moment, he finally put Qingxuan down. In any case, Qingxuan had just fallen asleep and had just had a dream. There was nothing dangerous in the mountains, so he decided to leave him here for the time being.

Xu Qing, on the other hand, behaved extremely strangely, and one had to follow him.

Seeing that Xu Qing was about to disappear, Xiaoyaozi quickly followed after him.

In the following time, Xu Qing specifically sought out some disciples of the Human Sect who seemed to have strong obsessions at first glance. He wielded the Worldly Sword in his hand and pulled them into a dream created by the sword energy. Within this dream, all the obsessions suppressed in their hearts were released.

Xiaoyaozi was forced to follow Xu Qing, and with Xu Qing's help, he witnessed the love, hatred, and grudges buried in the hearts of the disciples of the Human Sect.

Normally, these obsessions are suppressed deep in my heart.

But given the right opportunity, they will burst forth and make all sorts of different choices.

"It seems that Taoism is not a pure land after all!"

Another disciple of the Human Sect fell into a coma.

Xu Qing did not seek out any more disciples of the Human Sect, but instead demonstrated the power of the Mortal World Sword to Xiaoyaozi.

Instead, he looked at Xiaoyaozi again.

Xiaoyaozi remained silent for a long time before finally saying in a deep voice, "It is truly a fine sword!"

"It is also a... demonic sword!"

"A demonic sword? I don't think so." Xu Qing said to Xiaoyaozi, "This sword doesn't sever flesh or life, but rather the obsessions in people's hearts!"

"Born into this world, even if one chooses to distance oneself from worldly affairs, one still cannot escape the seven emotions and six desires..."
