In the northeast of Youzhou, late at night.
It was the beginning of spring, but it was still extremely cold in Youzhou. Snow could be seen on both sides of the official road.
On the official road, a bloody battle was taking place.
"Brothers, kill them all. Kill them all! Good wine, good meat, and good women! "
The eyes of the bandits glowed fiercely as they madly attacked the small caravan. The people of the caravan also fought back with all their might. For a moment, blood was everywhere, dyeing the ground red. On a barren hill not far away, Teng Qingshan, who was wearing a white cloak, stood quietly, overlooking everything below.
It was already the second spring after he left the Great Yan Mountain.
"Robbing and killing?" Teng Qingshan saw the men and women of the caravan being killed, but his heart was not moved at all.
"Why?"
"Why is it like this? Why am I like this? " Teng Qingshan frowned. In the past year, he had seen all kinds of emotions in the world. In addition, he had constantly persuaded himself to remain a bystander. After a long time, Teng Qingshan had become numb. He had seen many infuriating things, but he did not feel anything.
"Why am I so numb now?"
"I see everything in the world as if I am looking at skeletons."
Originally, Teng Qingshan thought that watching the Land of the Nine Prefectures as a bystander would be beneficial for him to comprehend the Dao of the Omnipotent Realm. However, after suppressing his true nature for a long time, he became numb and became an absolute bystander. However, Teng Qingshan found that his heart was no longer moved.
No anger!
No surprise!
Naturally, he was no longer moved by the Land of the Nine Prefectures. After seeing so many things in the world, everything was like passing clouds.
…
The official road became quiet again. Corpses were everywhere, and the survivors had already left. Teng Qingshan was still standing on the barren hill beside him. He kept asking himself, "Everything I see now makes me numb. After traveling for a year, what did I comprehend? Nothing at all! "
In the past year, Teng Qingshan did not feel that he had comprehended anything.
The only change was that he had become numb and inhuman.
Standing on the barren hill.
Teng Qingshan stood there for six days and six nights, during which it snowed heavily.
The morning of the seventh day.
As the sun rose, Teng Qingshan, who had been like a statue, suddenly woke up.
"What, what am I doing?"
"Ordinary people, Innate Experts, Emptiness Realm Experts, Insightful Emptiness Experts, and Omnipotent Experts. They were all humans! We're all human, we have feelings. "
"Without emotions, there will be no feeling of being touched. Without feeling, how can one comprehend the Dao of the Omnipotent Realm?" Teng Qingshan's eyes lit up from their previous indifference. His entire being seemed to be brimming with vitality. "If I want to comprehend the world and understand the workings of the world, I should go deep into the ground and feel it with my own heart!"
After Teng Qingshan figured it out, his entire state of mind seemed to have transformed.
"Haha!"
Teng Qingshan laughed loudly and withdrew his world energy. Immediately, a cold wind blew against his body and Teng Qingshan's feet sank into the ice and snow.
"Use your heart to feel!"
Teng Qingshan reached out and grabbed a handful of ice and snow. The ice and snow quickly melted.
"Haha …"
Teng Qingshan raised his head and laughed loudly. Then, he strode forward.
×××××
On the ridge beside the farmland, Teng Qingshan, whose face was covered in dust, laid down and stared at a small blade of grass. He took a deep breath and said, "This is the smell of soil and the smell of life!"
…
In a river, Teng Qingshan directly dived into the surging river water. After a while, he was eating grilled fish by the shore.
…
"Take this silver and bring your mother to see a doctor."
Teng Qingshan was in a poor family in a small town in Liang Province. He handed over ten silver to a young man. The bedridden woman wanted to get off the bed to thank him, and the young man even wanted to kowtow.
However, Teng Qingshan suddenly disappeared.
"Deity?" The young man and the woman were stunned.
A few miles away, Teng Qingshan, whose hair was disheveled like an ascetic, had a smile on his face. He muttered, "The feeling of helping others is really good."
…
In the Land of the Nine Prefectures, every city, every river, and every mountain, Teng Qingshan's footprints were left behind.
Everything he did was done spontaneously.
Sometimes, he squatted in the mountains and watched a litter of newborn wolf pups drink milk.
Sometimes, he sneaked into a bandit's den and watched the happy and cruel life of the bandits.
Sometimes, he stayed in a brothel and watched the bitterness of the prostitutes.
Sometimes, he became a guard of a caravan and experienced the hardships of different people.
Sometimes, he met a young man who wanted to become a disciple of a famous teacher.
…
During this process, sometimes, Teng Qingshan was happy. Sometimes, he was angry. Sometimes, he could only sigh. Sometimes, a smile appeared on his face. He completely immersed himself in the life of others, the feelings of animals, and even the temperament of plants.
In the blink of an eye, it was already late autumn. There were only three months left before the battle between Teng Qingshan and Pei San.
"My shoes are torn, my hat is torn, and my kasaya is torn? Uh … I don't have a kasaya. "Alone and wearing tattered clothes, Teng Qingshan hummed a tune that he had heard in his previous life. Compared to when he had just left the Great Yan Mountain, Teng Qingshan's spirit had obviously changed. It was as if the dust on the surface of his ice-cold heart had been washed away and the ice on the surface of his heart had melted.
Teng Qingshan's heart had become as clear as a crystal.
The heart of a pure child!
At this moment, Teng Qingshan's heart had experienced his previous life and this life. In addition, he had become numb to the things that happened in the Land of the Nine Prefectures. Then, he allowed himself to be immersed in the world. This experience made Teng Qingshan's heart become unprecedentedly pure!
"There are only three months left before the battle with Pei San?"
Teng Qingshan smiled. "It's a pity. It has been more than a year, but I haven't made any breakthroughs. It seems like I will have to admit defeat in three months. "As he thought of this, Teng Qingshan didn't feel any dissatisfaction or unwillingness to admit defeat. After experiencing so much in the world, simply admitting defeat was no big deal.
"However, it was worth it to travel for more than a year."
"All these years, I have devoted myself to cultivation. However, I have forgotten the purpose of cultivation in this world."
"The purpose of cultivation is to protect my loved ones, to establish a foothold in this world, and to pass on the branch of Internal Martial Arts."
"Now, I am strong enough to protect my loved ones. I have also passed on the branch of Internal Martial Arts. Since I have achieved the purpose of cultivation, I should enjoy the happiness of this world and spend time with my wife and children. "Teng Qingshan had completely woken up during the past year.
Teng Qingshan's goal was to become an Omnipotent Expert.
However —
A man's ambition was endless, but his time was limited. If he spent his limited time on endless ambition, he would naturally regret it before he died.
Contentment was bliss. Since he had reached a sufficient level, he didn't need to worry his wife and children because of his ambition.
"This is the territory of Chu County. Let's walk back to the Great Yan Mountain." Teng Qingshan smiled.
In Teng Qingshan's opinion, the transformation of his thoughts during the past year of travel was more gratifying than the breakthrough of his understanding of the Dao of Heaven.
Suddenly —
Teng Qingshan faintly heard the sounds of fighting coming from the official road in front of him.
"Bandits." Teng Qingshan shook his head and said, "Sometimes, people are forced to take this path because they have no other choice. However, the merchants are even more innocent because they are risking their lives to earn money. " Teng Qingshan had entered bandits' nests during the past year. He knew that many bandits were like this because they had no other choice.
Teng Qingshan didn't care about the killing in front of him. Instead, he walked forward quickly.
"Spare us!"
"Fellow heroes, spare our lives. We will give you all the gold and silver. Please spare our lives." At this moment, the killing had stopped. A big merchant was begging in fear.
Teng Qingshan's eyes brightened. "Eh, isn't this the 'Master Zhou' from back then?"
Back then, when Master Zhou wanted to rape the daughter-in-law of the Li Clan, he was stopped by a young man from the Li Clan. Teng Qingshan saw it with his own eyes. "Unfortunately, this' Master Zhou 'secretly ordered someone to kill that young man from the Li Clan. At that time, I was possessed and didn't help him. "
At this moment, the fat Master Zhou was sweating profusely and begging for mercy.
"Old Thief Zhou, look at who I am!" A loud shout sounded.
Master Zhou raised his head and looked carefully. His expression changed drastically. "It's you, Li Liang? No … "
"Back then, the heavens didn't kill me. Today, Old Thief Zhou, I will send you on your way." The sharp knife in Li Liang's hand fiercely pierced into Lord Zhou's big belly. Puchi, Lord Zhou's eyes widened in disbelief. He would actually die at the hands of this little thief from the Li Clan.
Puchi! The sharp knife was suddenly pulled out.
Instantly, blood splattered everywhere.
"Fellow brothers, I was fortunate enough to kill this enemy. Thank you, fellow brothers."
… …
Teng Qingshan's figure flashed and he walked over. However, Teng Qingshan saw the unwilling gaze of the dead Master Zhou and the carefree expression of the young man called Li Liang.
"Truly miraculous beyond words."
"This Master Zhou actually died at the hands of this Li Liang." Teng Qingshan had a smile on his face. Suddenly, a trace of understanding arose in his heart. "This is called the cycle of the Heavenly Daos. Retribution?"
"The cycle of the Heavenly Daos?"
Sou!
Teng Qingshan couldn't help but soar into the sky. In one breath, he flew over a thousand zhang before stopping. High up in the sky, Teng Qingshan looked down at the boundless land below. Instantly, scenes appeared in his mind. He had personally experienced many touching things, as well as the various things that he had seen with his numb heart.
Teng Qingshan's state of mind instantly entered a strange state of mind.
He was in a transcendent state. His mind flashed with many things about flowers, trees, birds, beasts, and humans. But at the same time, all sorts of emotions were constantly growing in his heart. It was as though there was an invisible 'thread' that connected all these things together, forming a perfect cycle.
"The cycle of the Heavenly Daos."
Teng Qingshan slowly descended into a mountain forest. On an empty space beside a tall and ancient osmanthus tree, Teng Qingshan followed the inexplicable enlightenment in his heart and sat cross-legged in meditation.
"Grow, grow old."
"In this world, all life has its peak and trough. It also has its time of life and death. When the old die, babies are born. "
Sitting quietly under the locust tree, Teng Qingshan closed his eyes.
All sorts of enlightenment continuously appeared in his mind …
And in his Niwan Palace, the originally distinct black mercury-like liquid filled with death aura and the white liquid filled with vitality extended out streams of air. The black and white streams of air gradually intertwined, producing a tinge of gray …
