Chapter 007 It's not me who's wrong, it's the world
"Moon Worship Cult?"
Chen Xuanfeng glanced at Ni Kun:
"Didn't you say you knew nothing about what was happening outside the mountain? How did you hear about the Moon Worship Sect?"
Ni Kun remained calm:
"I've heard the adults at home mention it occasionally, but they didn't go into detail, and I don't know where they heard it from. Maybe my family members occasionally heard people outside the mountains mention it when they went out to buy things? After all, although my family has lived in seclusion in the mountains for many years, it's impossible for us to be self-sufficient. There are always some things that need to be bought outside the mountains."
Mei Chaofeng smiled and said:
"Sixteen years ago, the leader of the Moon Worship Cult caused a disaster that was known to almost everyone in the world. It is not surprising that your master occasionally heard the name of the Moon Worship Cult when he went out to buy things."
Ni Kun was surprised:
"A great disaster? The whole world knows about it? Sister Mei, can you tell me a little more about it?"
Mei Chaofeng said:
“We also heard about the Moon Worship Sect Leader from our master.
"My master told me that the Moon Worship Sect was a sect that suddenly emerged in the mountains of southern Xinjiang after the celestial event 20 years ago. Its leader is a strange man who claims that based on his research on astrology, he can prove that the earth beneath our feet is a big sphere.
"In order to verify his research, he even sent out a team to conduct a practical verification, saying that if one keeps heading due west, one can eventually return to the starting point from due east.
"The Moon Worshiper sent out four teams in total, heading east, south, west, and north, trying to circle the earth and return to the starting point."
Hearing this, Ni Kun couldn't help but ask:
"What was the result?"
"As for the result..." Mei Chaofeng shook her head:
"Master didn't tell me the results of the verification by the Moon Worshiper's team. He only said that the Moon Worshiper was stimulated and went crazy, claiming that his research would never be wrong. If there is a mistake, it must not be him, but this world.
"He said that the world had been wrong for a long time. Not only was the time sequence reversed and disordered, but even the heaven and earth had become 'the sky is round and the earth is square'...
"He said that everyone in the world is trapped in a dream, and even that most people in the world are fake, created by some great evil demon using magic.
"He wanted to 'get rid of the false and seek the truth' and dispel illusions. So sixteen years ago, he launched a great sacrifice and summoned the 'water monster', trying to destroy the world with a flood, destroy all illusions, and reveal the truth of the world..."
Ni Kun was stunned:
"Is there such a method?"
Although he also thinks that this world is quite chaotic, he will destroy the world if he finds something wrong...
Should we say that this guy is worthy of being the Moon Worshiper?
"What was the final result?" Ni Kun asked in shock.
"The Moon Worshiper has naturally failed."
Mei Chaofeng smiled and said:
"Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to sit here and talk about the story from sixteen years ago."
Ni Kun quickly asked:
"How did the Moon Worshiper fail? Who stopped him?"
Could it be Li Xiaoyao or Zhao Linger?
Is there still the Shushan Sword Sect in this world?
"The Moon Worshiper held a grand ceremony in southern Xinjiang to summon the water demon. The Song family in Lingnan got wind of the news and called on righteous men from all over the world to fight against it.
"In this battle, the elites of the Lingnan Song Clan, including their leader, Heavenly Blade Song Que, joined forces with heroes from all over the world to attack the Southern Xinjiang Moon Worship Cult's headquarters.
“Of course, the Moon Worshiper is not just a martial artist.
"Not only is he extremely skilled in martial arts, he also possesses various sorcery skills. He can also merge with water monsters. With just a wave of his hand, he can collapse mountains and block rivers. He is unmatched by ordinary people.
“So the four heroes who also possessed extraordinary skills were Yan Chixia, Master Baiyun, Zhiqiu Yiye, and Master Kongxu, who finally stood before the Moon Worshiper and slew him along with the water monster.
"Although the four heroes succeeded in killing the Moon Worshiper and saved the world from destruction, they also perished together with him... As for the Moon Worshiper, it was completely wiped out by heroes like Tian Dao Song Que."
“…”
Hearing this, Ni Kun was confused and speechless.
It turns out that in this world, not only is the emperor Yang Guang, the Sui Emperor, but there is also the Heavenly Blade Song Que...
So are there also the Demonic Sect and Cihang Jingzhai?
Of course, the most outrageous ones are Yan Chixia, Master Baiyun, Zhiqiu Yiye, and Mr. Kongxu.
You said that the Moon Worshiper destroyed the world, and you sacrificed your lives to save the world, which is great, but did you go to the wrong set?
Where did Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Linger go?
What about Shushan Sword Sect?
If you guys die and a tree demon or a black mountain demon reappears, who will be responsible for destroying them?
We can't expect martial artists who only have martial arts skills but no supernatural powers to slay demons and monsters, right?
For a moment, Ni Kun felt unhappy but didn't know where to start.
There was silence.
Ni Kun thought that the organization behind Liu Sheng Piao Xu and Da Huan Xi Bodhisattva, or the leader of the organization, might have also participated in the battle to wipe out the Moon Worship Cult.
Otherwise, how would you know about the secret treasure house of the Moon Worshiping Sect Leader?
Then he asked:
"Speaking of which, besides the four great heroes and the elite members of the Heavenly Blade Song Que clan, who were the other masters and heroes who invaded the Moon Worshiping Sect's headquarters back then?"
Chen Xuanfeng said calmly:
"How do we know this? Sixteen years ago, we were just children under ten years old. Although Master also participated in that battle, when he later talked to us about it, he did not explain every detail."
Mei Chaofeng smiled and said:
"Master has a very high vision. Ordinary masters are not worthy of his attention. When he talked about this with us, he only mentioned a few names such as the Four Great Heroes and Song Que, the Heavenly Sword. It seems that there are also Ning Daoqi and Fan Qinghui?"
Chen Xuanfeng thought for a moment and said:
“Well, the Sui court also sent a civil servant named Pei Ju, along with several masters from aristocratic families.
"Master said that those masters from aristocratic families are not worth mentioning. But Pei Ju has a retainer named Guan Qi who is very amazing. He can send out sword energy from his fingers and kill people from a distance. His power is far greater than Master's 'Finger Magic' back then."
Pei Ju?
Guan Qi?
In a world with Tian Dao Song Que, Ning Daoqi, and Fan Qinghui, Pei Ju might be the Evil King Shi Zhixuan!
And there was Guan Qi who could kill people from a distance by sending out sword energy from his fingers...
Innate invisible sword energy that can break the body?
Who is the hero when it comes to heroes? The seven holy leaders of the Mi Tian Alliance, who beat all those who disobey and are the invincible Guan Qiye?
That Liu Sheng Piao Xu also seems to be emitting white light and killing people from a distance. Could it be sword energy?
Could it be that the power behind Liu Sheng Piao Xu and Da Huan Xi Bodhisattva is the evil king Shi Zhixuan?
There are too few clues, and although Ni Kun has this suspicion, he cannot be sure.
This was about all that Chen Xuanfeng and Mei Chaofeng knew about the Moon Worship Cult incident sixteen years ago, and they could no longer get any more clues.
Ni Kun was silent for a while and asked:
"Regarding the fact that the earth is round, what do you think, Master?"
He naturally believed that the earth was round.
But why did the Moon Worshiping Sect leader send people to verify and come up with the conclusion that "the sky is round and the earth is square", and was so stimulated and completely crazy because of it?
Ni Kun had a hunch that the conclusion of "the sky is round and the earth is square" verified by the Moon Worshiping Sect Leader might have the most direct connection with all the chaos and weirdness in this world.
"Our Master..." Mei Chaofeng frowned and murmured:
"Master said that the Moon Worshiper is right... Zhang Heng of the Han Dynasty wrote in his "Annotations to the Hun Tian Yi": The whole heaven is like a chicken egg. The celestial body is round like a bullet, and the earth is like the yolk of a chicken egg, isolated in the sky. The sky is big and the earth is small.
"Then the yolk of a chicken egg is just a round ball, isn't it?"
Chen Xuanfeng also said calmly:
"Master took us to observe a ship at sea. We first saw the mast from afar, and then the hull slowly emerged. This shows that the sea surface is not flat, but has an arc. Master also took us to observe a lunar eclipse. During a lunar eclipse, the shadow on the moon is also a spherical arc.
"So Master said that the Moon Worshiper was right. As for why he came to the absurd conclusion that 'the sky is round and the earth is square' after actual verification..."
He shook his head.
"Master doesn't know either. He only said that when I have some free time in the future, I will go out to sea by boat, head west, and verify it myself..."
Well, should we say that he is worthy of being the Huang Yaoshi who has the greatest curiosity and the broadest interests?
I even had the idea of traveling around the world.
The reason why I haven't taken action yet...
I guess it’s because there is a little daughter at home?
Look at the current ages of Chen Xuanfeng and Mei Chaofeng. Huang Yaoshi’s daughter is probably still a baby... No!
Huang Yaoshi personally witnessed the "natural disaster" twenty years ago. At that time, Chen and Mei were still children. According to the time, Huang Yaoshi should not have been married at that time - he got married after Chen Xuanfeng and Mei Chaofeng grew up.
Since the era has changed to the Sui Dynasty twenty years ago, can Huang Yaoshi still find his wife Feng Heng?
If there was no Feng Heng, would Huang Yaoshi’s daughter Huang Rong still exist?
Ni Kun was very curious about this question, but he couldn't ask. When interacting with people, it is best not to talk about deep things with people you have only just met. There is no way to talk about such private matters.
Just when I was struggling, I heard Chen Xuanfeng say:
"Okay, after talking so much, it's getting late, it's time to rest."
As he spoke, he added a few pieces of hard firewood to the fire, pulled Mei Chaofeng to sit against the wall next to him, and closed his eyes to rest.
Seeing that Chen Xuanfeng and Mei Chaofeng had lost interest in their conversation, Ni Kun did not want to disturb them from resting, so he put aside his worries, leaned against the wooden wall, closed his eyes, digested what he had learned from the conversation, made some inferences and guesses, and began to think about his own future.
“I’m afraid that the pursuit by unknown forces will continue in the future.
"I don't know martial arts, and I don't have a basic attack. When I'm in danger, I can only use my ultimate move to save myself, which consumes my life at every turn. This is not good. And the method of longevity is still unknown, so I can only try to be peaceful and save my life.
"Well, no matter what, I have to find a powerful backer first..."
Ask Chen Xuanfeng and Mei Chaofeng to help introduce me to Master Huang Yaoshi? I'm afraid that's not possible.
Not to mention that his friendship with Chen and Mei is far from that level. The key point is that these two might have eloped. Huang Yaoshi might be furious right now and taking his anger out on the other disciples.
How about going to the Song family in Lingnan and presenting the Sunflower Manual as a stepping stone to advancement?
Song Que’s words should be able to stop Shi Zhixuan, who is suspected to be the mastermind behind this, right?
But would the Song family be interested in the Sunflower Manual?
"I only have this one weird Kung Fu, I have no money and no connections, let alone finding someone to back me up, it's even hard to hire a reliable bodyguard!"
