After leaving the mountain gate of Sword Washing Pavilion, Meng Qi was about to fly away when suddenly his vision blurred. A figure appeared in front of him. It was a young and handsome man in a light green robe. He stood there as if he was infinitely far away. His whole body was empty, as if there was no one else around him.
Mengqi was startled and saluted, "Senior Su."
This person was the Outer-sky God Sword Su Wuming. His deeds, his reputation, and his power could be described with one word: Su Wuming!
Since he knew this name, this was the first time for Mengqi to meet this legendary figure face to face.
Su Wuming turned around and walked slowly in front of Mengqi with his hands hanging on both sides. He asked abruptly, "Do you know the difference between 'additional self' and 'self'?"
Why did he ask this? Meng Qi had doubts in his heart. He pondered for a while and said, "Normally, only the living beings in the real world can be called the 'self'. Their reflections in different universes manifest as the 'additional self'. In the beginning, this kind of reflection manifested as a projection. Hence, the living beings at the beginning of the ancient times were all Legendary. After that, the heaven and earth changed and the reflections were separated from the 'self'. They had independent spirituality and became real living beings. Hence, no matter what kind of cultivator, if he wants to become a Legendary, he has to communicate with them and combine the 'self'."
"But all living beings in the world have no other feelings. If they can see themselves, the 'additional self' is also the 'self'. They don't have to be the appendages of the real world's self."
He said with emotion.
Su Wuming did not make any other moves or show any expression. He still walked slowly, leaving only his back to Mengqi, "It's good that you understand."
"After they have separated and become independent, the memory of the reincarnation of the 'additional self' will not be traced back to the 'self'. But it does not prevent the 'additional self' from communicating with the 'self' and being integrated by him."
Mengqi's mind exploded with shock and realization. No wonder when he and the Living Buddha tried to awaken each other's memories of past lives in the world of the Sword Emperor and the Devil Empress, his mind was blank and he couldn't see Ananda or any other mighty people!
So I am indeed an additional self, not a Dao Mark … After the incident at the Everlasting Valley, Mengqi was initially more certain that he was the fish of the angler, the additional self of the other party. However, after knowing the existence of the Dao Mark, he suspected that he was the Dao Mark of a returning mighty person, such as the reincarnation of the Witch of the Black Mountain.
Su Wuming suddenly appeared and walked with him casually just to remind him of this matter?
How did he know that he had awakened the memories of his previous incarnation?
An inexplicable feeling welled up in Mengqi's mind. When he looked at Su Wuming again, he found him somewhat familiar. He blurted out,
"Senior Sword Emperor!"
The Sword Emperor who had once given him pointers on the Way of the Sword, the Sword Emperor who liked to guide the younger generation, the Sword Emperor from the world of the Living Buddha!
So Senior Sword Emperor was Senior Su Wuming's additional self. No wonder he knew about the battle between me and the Living Buddha!
Su Wuming nodded slightly and put his hands behind his back. He said casually, "To be able to communicate with part of the additional self and merge it with the original self, one would be considered to have opened the door to the Legendary realm. The Heart Saint is one of these. When the additional self returns and is born along with the splitting of countless universes, the additional self will naturally project into the universe and leave a mark. Then, one will become a legend and be the only one in all the worlds."
Did he use the Heart Saint as an example because he had seen it before? Mengqi listened attentively.
Merging part of the additional self would be considered to have opened the door to the Legendary realm? Didn't that mean that Su Wuming himself had opened the door to the Legendary realm?
Su Wuming still didn't look back and walked forward slowly, "Legends have marks in all the universes and worlds. As long as one mark is not destroyed, the legend will not die. Therefore, many legends will secretly leave a mark that exceeds the normal projection, existing in the form of the additional self that has not yet been merged. They will also fake the cause and effect to deceive their opponents. When they are killed and sealed, they will use this to return."
Four words that were still fresh in Mengqi's mind suddenly appeared: So that's how it is!
I am the backup of the angler's resurrection or escape?
It has the same effect as the road sign of the Great Way!
Only Su Wuming who had opened the door to the Legendary realm could understand and explain such things clearly!
After saying this, Su Wuming walked forward quietly without saying anything else. He was indifferent and meaningful.
Mengqi understood that he was waiting for him to ask questions, so he said, "Senior Su, how can I break the connection between the additional self and the original self?"
Would "Let bygones be bygones" or something similar work?
It was early in the morning, the sun was not bright and there was still a thin layer of mist. On the road in the forest, Su Wuming was like a fairy walking in the mist. He said calmly, "You can learn from Mr. Lu and seek the 'self' in your heart. You will be the only one and see nothing else, so the connection will naturally be broken. When you can project the 'self' in the universe again and leave a mark, you will become a real legend …"
He casually mentioned the future of Mr. Lu's path because this path was obviously more suitable for Mengqi's situation.
Mr. Lu's path of 'self' could not be achieved without more than ten years of concentration and immersion … After the incident in Everlasting Valley, how could Mengqi not think about his own path. He wanted to learn from Mr. Lu, but he could not be the first choice like Mr. Lu. This was a matter of constant effort. There was no shortcut.
"You can use the Knife of Karma to cut off all kinds of connections and obtain the 'self' from external things," Su Wuming continued.
Phew, Mengqi secretly heaved a sigh of relief. His direction was right!
Su Wuming wore a green robe and only his back could be seen faintly in the mist. "The connection between the 'original self' and 'additional self' originates from Da Dao. It is subtle and hard to see. It is one of the biggest obstacles to attaining the Legendary realm. I have the Hao Tian Mirror for more than ten years and risked losing myself to grasp the clue. If I don't have that much time, there is only one way to see it. That is when the angler tries to take back the fish. At that time, the connection will be very obvious."
"Senior Su, will the Dao Yi Seal work?" Mengqi's pupil contracted. He did not expect such a thing.
Su Wuming paused and said, "If it is the Principles of Karma, maybe it will work. But I don't know much about the Dao Yi Seal, so I can't be sure."
Anyway, I don't have that much time … Mengqi sighed softly.
Su Wuming took another step and said indifferently, "If the angler is a Nirvana Realm person who is trying to recover, then not only do you have to cut off the connection between the 'original self' and 'additional self', but you will become him in every reincarnation and merge with the 'original self'. Then you can trace back to yourself with the help of the River of Time."
No wonder you want to let go of the past … Mengqi was stunned. He suddenly understood the real intention of The Conqueror for naming this cut!
Not only did it cut off the connection between the angler and himself, but it also had to cut off the past, leaving only this life and the next.
Of course, the premise was that the person behind it was a big shot from the Nirvana Realm!
At this moment, a wind blew and the mist dissipated. Su Wuming took a step forward and disappeared in front of Mengqi instantly. It was as if the conversation just now was just an illusion.
Mengqi turned around and bowed to the Xi Jian Pavilion sincerely.
But Senior Su's words seemed to have something else to say.
What did he not dare to say?
…
Outside Langya, a small boat floated on the clear lake.
Ruan Yushu in a white dress sat at the head of the boat with her zither on her knees. She looked at Mengqi and said seriously,
"You want to treat me to fish?"
There were not many things to eat in the lake in this season, but fish was one of them.
Mengqi couldn't help but laugh. He felt that his quiet and slightly sad mood had improved a lot. Then he took out the light green seed and passed it to Ruan Yushu. He said, "I have completed the Zhenwu serial task. This is the task reward. It is the general principle of the Seven Strokes of Heaven Interception. It is the embodiment of Da Dao and is all-encompassing. It is not just sword art. It is also useful to you."
Ruan Yushu was younger than him. She was cold and cute. Watching her grow up day by day, it was like watching his daughter grow up. Mengqi couldn't help but give her a few words of advice when he came to bid farewell.
Ruan Yushu frowned and looked at Mengqi. She was a little confused, but she didn't ask.
She took the seed and absorbed its content. When she was about to return it to Mengqi, Mengqi waved his hand and smiled calmly. He said, "Keep it for me. If you meet Senior Brother Qi in the future, remember to give it to him."
Ruan Yushu stared at Mengqi with her big eyes. She couldn't help but ask, "Is there something on your mind? Are you in danger? "
"Some things are destined to be faced." Mengqi smiled sincerely. "If you want to help me, play a song to send me off. Maybe we will meet again in the future."
The lake wind blew and the boat swayed. Ruan Yushu pursed her lips and bit her teeth. Her beautiful eyes seemed to be filled with mist. Then she placed the zither and played it gently.
Mengqi hugged the back of his head and slowly fell down on the boat. He looked up at the cloudless blue sky and heard the beautiful sound of the zither.
Suddenly, Mengqi stood up and stepped on the lake water. His sleeves fluttered in the wind. He walked away and sang in a low voice,
"The laughter of the sea, the waves on both sides of the river …"
…
"The laughter of the breeze actually caused loneliness, the heroic feeling is still there …"
In the song, Ruan Yushu watched Mengqi's green robe disappear. She changed the tune and played the song that she just played. The sound echoed on the lake.
…
After leaving Langya, Mengqi went straight to Guangling.
Although he was good at fortune-telling, he was still not as good as Master Wang who was good at it!
"Heh, when people are at a critical moment, they can't help but want to seek comfort from a fortune teller …" Mengqi shook his head and laughed at himself. He appeared in front of the ancestral house of the Guangling Wang Family.
The gatekeeper rubbed his eyes and greeted, "Are you Su Meng, Master Su?"
"Yes," Mengqi was not surprised at the Wang Family's miraculousness.
The gatekeeper quickly smiled and said, "The master is not here. He only left a letter for you."
Fortune teller Wang is avoiding me … Mengqi frowned and took the letter. It said,
"Too early, death is certain."
Too early, death is certain … Mengqi's heart sank. He asked again, "What else did the Wang Family say?"
"Let bygones be bygones," the gatekeeper answered without hesitation.
It was still the same sentence. Mengqi turned around and was ready to leave. Suddenly, he saw the stone tablet in front of the Wang Family. It was the family motto left by the Sage of Arithmetic.
"Don't finish your divination. Don't go to extremes. Don't say things clearly."
Don't say things clearly … Mengqi suddenly had an idea and stopped. Master Wang always emphasized "let bygones be bygones". Didn't that mean that he was going against the family motto? Or maybe he didn't finish his words and the real meaning was hidden in the words.
Where was the unfinished meaning of "let bygones be bygones"?
