The fifth volume is full of awe and martial arts legends Chapter 219: Holding the Way of Heaven
Li Muchan sat down amid the fiery red afterglow of the setting sun and the slightly noisy chirping of cicadas.
Pharmacist Li was finally relieved upon seeing this. She glanced at the busy woman and turned to follow her.
But as soon as Li Muchan sat down, the two of them immediately stood up, leaped into the air, and turned into two swift shadows, passing through the green bamboo, flying over the green pines, galloping freely among the green mountains and green waters. The ethereal figures rose and fell in just a few breaths and were hundreds of feet away, then soared into the sky and landed on a steep and dangerous peak.
The solitary peak stands alone, and is the highest peak.
"Senior, do you have any advice for me?" Li Muchan asked.
Li Xun Huan stood with his hands behind his back, his demeanor calm. He asked curiously, "I went to Peacock Villa to look for you earlier. From afar, I sensed a murderous intent brewing within the manor. I wonder what weapon it was?"
Li Muchan said bluntly: "Peacock Feather."
Li Xun Huan seemed to have anticipated this and nodded gently, "I never thought someone in the world could reforge this item. With this, the ancestors of the Qiu family can finally rest in peace, and Qiu Shuiqing can also ensure that the reputation of the chivalrous warriors of Peacock Villa will not be lost."
He turned around, his back to the setting sun, and faced Li Muchan. The white hair on his shoulders swayed in the wind. He smiled and said, "You've been chasing me for so long, it shouldn't be just to see me, right?"
Li Muchan shook his head, "No, I came here just to see you. It's a pity that I didn't meet the famous Li Tanhua back then, but since we both call each other Li Xunhuan, it's not in vain."
Li Xun Huan was stunned for a moment, then smiled again, "Anyone who can gain Ah Fei's approval is truly remarkable. I thought that even if we didn't fight, we would at least have a lot to talk about, but I didn't expect there would be nothing to talk about."
Having said this, the two of them fell silent.
for a long time.
Li Muchan gazed at the setting sun, overlooking the river and the mountains. He suddenly spoke, "When Zhu Si died, he said that winning over others was nothing; winning over oneself was invincibility... Um, may I ask, Senior, what does it mean to be invincible?"
Li Xun Huan sighed, "You use a knife?"
Li Muchan said: "Yes!"
Li Xun Huan asked again, "Why are you holding the knife?"
Li Muchan's eyes suddenly fixed as he replied, "Holding the knife is for advancement, for self-preservation."
Li Xun Huan said gently, "You are now at the top of the world, and you have no rivals around you. There is no need to be aggressive, no need to save yourself, it is better to let it go for the time being."
"Let it go?" Li Muchan was startled, then chuckled, "Senior, are you going to follow those bald monks and talk about the four elements being empty? That would be too vulgar."
Seeing Li Xunhuan smiling but saying nothing, Li Muchan immediately stopped smiling, pondered for a moment, frowned and said, "I can't let it go."
Li Xun Huan said, "It seems you just want to win."
Li Muchan made no secret of his thoughts and said in a deep voice, "When you are in the martial arts world, you naturally want to win."
Li Xun Huan sighed, "Who do you want to win?"
Li Muchan said: "Qinglong Society, Jinqian Gang, and all those who are my enemies."
Li Xun Huan asked again, "What happens after you defeat them? Who else do you want to defeat?"
Li Muchan shook his head, "I don't know."
Li Xun Huan flicked his sleeves, and as if by magic, he pulled out a wine bag from them. He took a swig and said meaningfully, "So, what you want to win is nothing more than your own desire. But desire is like water, endless, how can it be extinguished? Shangguan Jinhong was close to a god or demon in his time, unmoved by external things, unperturbed by beauty, yet his desires remained lingering... How can you win against someone who is your own enemy?"
Li Muchan's pupils shrank sharply as he murmured, "So he died while testing the knife, because the dead have no desires."
Li Xun Huan sighed, "Not bad."
Li Muchan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Is Elder Tianji also stopping here?"
Li Xun Huan paused in his drinking, shook his head with a wry smile, and took another sip. "That's right! There has never been a truly invincible person in this world, because they are destined to fail at some point. This failure is not to others, but to themselves."
Li Muchan didn't seem to like this kind of conversation that was full of hidden meanings. A hint of annoyance appeared between his brows, and he frowned tightly, muttering to himself, "Becoming my enemy?"
His expression gradually became serious, as if he had encountered something extremely confusing.
"I do not understand."
Li Muchan did not hide his feelings at all.
And he has realized that Li Xunhuan is trying to give him some advice.
Li Xun Huan smiled and said, "No need to understand. You will understand as you keep going."
Li Muchan was even more bewildered. He pondered, "So, is Senior already invincible?"
A sharp aura suddenly flashed in his eyes, and the two swords at his waist trembled like dragons, almost coming out of their sheaths.
Some things are far more real when seen with your own eyes than when heard with your own ears.
Li Xun Huan was not surprised at all, but smiled. "Do you want to beat me now?"
Li Muchan's eyelids twitched, and he simply said, "Not bad."
He wanted to see how far he was from becoming such a martial arts legend.
Li Xunhuan, however, looked towards the horizon with a meaningful look, and gently stroked it with his left hand as if making a fist.
The other party seemed to have nothing in his hands, but in Li Muchan's eyes, this person had changed differently.
With a wave of his hand, Li Xunhuan's aura suddenly changed, as if he had flown away from the top of the dangerous peak in an instant, ethereal and traceless, breathing with the heaven and earth, sharing the same veins with the mountains and rivers, unrivaled, unmatched, and without any flaws.
Li Muchan's eyes gradually changed. In his opinion, the energy flowing around this person's body seemed to be holding the setting sun, holding the heaven and earth, holding the breeze, and also caressing the clouds, the green mountains and green waters, and the earth.
Everything in the world is in your hands.
Li Muchan stood there in a daze.
"Let go, so you can hold more."
Li Xunhuan's voice was light and seemed to be right in front of him, but his words seemed to float from the distant mountains, like drops of running water, or like the sound of a large bronze bell, falling straight into Li Muchan's heart, allowing him to see the light.
With this grip, the sun had set and dusk had deepened. It seemed as if there was a supreme magical power that could change the world and reverse day and night.
What kind of realm is this?
Li Muchan murmured hoarsely, "Have you grasped the Way of Heaven?"
Li Xun Huan shook his head again, "What's the law of nature? I just have nothing in my hands, no sword."
Li Muchan stared straight at Li Xunhuan's left hand, which was still clenched and not yet put down.
This hand seems to be holding nothing, but the palm is already filled with unparalleled sword intent, with energy covering the entire country and intention reaching all directions.
"What a good sword!" Li Muchan exclaimed.
There is no knife in the hand, and there is no knife in the heart.
But everything in the world can be transformed into a knife in one's hand, turning decay into magic, and every flower and tree can become Xiao Li's Flying Dagger.
This is a knife taken from all things in heaven and earth, from plants and mountains to rivers.
Li Xunhuan seemed to have guessed what he was thinking. He shook his head and smiled, loosening his five fingers. Suddenly, a breeze came and flowed through his fingers. In an instant, the sword intent disappeared, the sword energy dissipated, and there was nothing in his hand. There was no sword at all.
Li Muchan was stunned for a long time, and said with a sense of loss: "If I can't let go, will my life end here?"
He looked at Li Xunhuan's outstretched left hand, subconsciously stretched out his own hand, and imitated the other's previous movements, reaching out to the void, reaching out to the bright moon in the sky, but hesitated at the moment of grasping it.
But Li Xunhuan's gentle voice rang out again, "Don't hesitate. If you don't hold on, how can you let go? Li Muchan today is just like Li Xunhuan back then."
Li Muchan's body trembled violently upon hearing this. He clenched the five fingers of his right hand and said in a deep voice, "Thank you, Senior."
Li Xun Huan's unusual aura suddenly approached again. Then, like an old man in the market who loves to drink, he glanced at the courtyard at the foot of the mountain with a guilty look on his face. He raised his head and drank the wine in his wine bag in one gulp. Then he smiled contentedly and said, "Let's go down the mountain. The food should be ready."
The lights were on in the bamboo hut. When the two of them returned, they saw a few side dishes on the table.
Seeing the two men return, the woman was smiling and looking at Li Muchan with curiosity. But suddenly, as if she smelled something, her clear eyes, black and white, turned to Li Xunhuan and said angrily, "You've been drinking secretly again, but I'll let it go today."
Seeing Sun Xiaohong's happy face, Li Xunhuan couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"
Sun Xiaohong looked at Pharmacist Li beside her and said excitedly, "Brother Li, this child is actually Wang Lianhua's granddaughter."
Finally, she changed the subject and said with an excited smile, "Brother Li, I want to adopt her as our goddaughter, what do you think?"
Li Xunhuan looked surprised and looked at Li Yaoshi, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart.
Although he had never seen this "Thousand Faces Young Master" before when Shen Lang and his companions were out at sea, he was not unfamiliar with him. Moreover, the other party was willing to entrust him with the "Love Flower Treasure Mirror", and since they were both close friends of Shen Lang, they could be considered the descendants of old acquaintances.
Pharmacist Li sat next to Sun Xiaohong very obediently. No one knew what the two had said before, but they were unusually close. There was no trace of the seductive charm of a cult witch.
Li Muchan was dumbfounded.
Li Xun Huan smiled and said, "Then accept it."
