Xiao Shao let go of Lin Shu’s strand of hair.
His hair slipped gently back to his shoulder. Somehow, Lin Shu felt a little hot.
Although Xiao Shao let go of that strand of hair, he reached out to pluck another strand.
Lin Shu, with half-cast eyes, stared at the dark silver stripes of Xiao Shao clothes in a daze.
Finally, Xiao Shao’s hand stopped.
He found a small strand of hair that was significantly shorter than elsewhere.
Lin Shu looked at the end of his neatly cut hair and recalled that it might be the strand of hair that Xiao Shao had cut off when they escaped from the Northern Xia Capital.
Xiao Shao said lightly, “What do you think?”
Lin Shu: “I don’t know.”
Xiao Shao let that strand of hair fall back to its original place one by one from his fingers and said, “I think you know.”
After a while, he said, “But if you were really disgusted, then I am afraid you would have already run away.”
Lin Shu: “...”
He thought what Xiao Shao said made sense.
Lin Shu didn’t say anything more, he straightened out his hair which had just been disordered, and returned to the countless draft papers of Demon Lord Qingming.
The draft papers could be roughly divided into three categories.
The first category was the orthodox insights or the strange singular methods copied from a certain book.
The second category was the array sketches drawn by the Demon Lord. Most of them were semi-finished and useless. Some of them were completely meaningless lines or tortoise doodles—The Demon Lord liked to draw tortoises very much. There were more than 100 pieces in total. Most of the tortoise-shells were covered with two big words “Yuehua”.
The third category was probably the diary of the Demon Lord, which was mainly composed of single words. Sometimes it was full of pages of “annoyances” and sometimes it was the whole page of “ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha”
The sketches were piled aside with the &#k2018;annoyances’ pages, and Lin Shu began to look at the serious exercises.
After turning the papers for a long time, he finally found some clues between the densely packed lines.
Qingming Demon Lord wrote a replay of the fight between himself and Yuehua in a few thousand words.
It was said that, when Yuehua came out with the sword, he had the charm of clear breeze and bright moon, which made people feel as if they were among the bright moon and stars. He felt that such a respectable person should not have such an attitude and began to study the principles. Finally, he concluded that when Yuehua was sitting in seclusion, he comprehended the great Dao of the moon as it waxes and wanes, sometimes cloudy and other times clear. When he slashed with his sword, his perception of this Dao would naturally appear in the strike.
And his own sword technique, because he had killed many people, was full of blood. Every time he wanted to teach his apprentice, his apprentice would be so frightened that his legs would soften, and would often plead, ‘Master, let me go! I don’t want to fight!’
The Demon Lord was the type of person who pursued the root of the matter. When others studied the sword technique, they would understand that the sword is like a man and a man is like a sword. He had to study why a man is like a sword and a sword is like a man.
——The Demon Lord said that human beings are part of the Heavenly Dao, and the human state of mind was part of the Heavenly Dao, and the swordsmanship of human beings was also a part of the Heavenly Dao.
Therefore, a man and his sword were united in the Heavenly Dao.
‘The so-called magic method of the Immortal Family was just relying on a few traces of my own insight and using so few mental formulas to borrow a small part of the power of the heavens.’
And he didn’t want to borrow it.
He had been trying for a long time, but he was always stuck in his ways and could not break free. Until that day, when his whole body meridians were abolished by Yuehua, and there was no more sense of spiritual power, that’s when the whole world was finally clean.
In order to enlighten the Dao, the Demon Lord took the pill that deprived people of all sense of touch, and locked himself in a dark and silent cell, without eating or drinking, and ordered his apprentice to call him again ten years later.
Ten years later, the apprentice knocked on the cell door, “Master, are you still alive?”
The Demon Lord wrote, This monarch is really alive.
From then on, he had a frightening technique called “Extinction Void Art”. With a single finger, all the enemy’s cultivations would be annihilated.
The Demon Lord was once again famous for the words he said to the Twelve Demons.
He said, Yes, within five steps, your life and fate is up to me, not up to heaven.
In the “Extinction Void Art”, there was no exercise formula, no skill moves, only two words, ‘Reborn, reborn completely.’
A person who was in the heavenly Dao cannot fight against the heavenly Dao in any way, just like how a person cannot lift himself by grabbing his own hair.
——This can only be done when you are completely separated from the realm of heavenly Dao.
The Demon Lord finally did it. He killed not only the body of the man but also directly obliterated the part of the heavens that the man was attached to.
The Demon Lord had bracketed here, [Of course, for this, I was also very miserable, and I just suffered a lot of lightning strikes.]
Lin Shu read over and over for a long time, and finally had to admit that he was just a little rubbish.
He pondered over the so-called “Reborn completely” and felt that his soul had left his body, and he had a headache.
Xiao Shao hugged him and rubbed his temple.
He didn’t know how long had passed when a quiet voice was heard in his mind suddenly, “Younger martial brother! Younger martial brother!”
Lin Shu opened his eyes and saw a gray-white translucent man floating in front of him. He was a young man with a beautiful appearance.
He asked, “Who are you?”
“I’m the Elder martial brother!” The person said, “In the beginning, the master accidentally patted me to death. Later, he regretted it and he brought my soul back and made me a housekeeper!”
Lin Shu: “...Hello, elder martial brother.”
Elder martial brother rubbed his hands excitedly, “Younger martial brother, have you finished reading it? Do you understand? It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand. I don’t understand it either. ”
Lin Shu: “....”
“Just now I saw that you were very serious, and you two were embracing each other deeply. Elder martial brother didn’t have the nerve to interrupt!” The ghost elder martial brother said, “However, Elder martial brother still has to give you the key.”
Lin Shu: “The key?”
Elder martial brother Ghost held a bronze dice in the palm of his hand.
Lin Shu stretched out his hand to pick it up and then realized that he was still being held by Xiao Shao.
He was a little embarrassed.
After taking the dice, the elder martial brother said, “The dice needs to be refined into your Dantian. After that, everything in Qingming cave can be changed according to your mind, and you can also find out the situation outside at any time.”
‘—— The whole Qingming cave is actually not real estate. It uses a huge Sumeru mustard spell, which can be carried with you. The benefits are indescribable.’
This refining took four days.
After Lin Shu got control of the cave, he reached an agreement with Xiao Shao.
Since Qingming cave can be controlled at will, then they can move this cave to distract the wizards outside and ensure the safety of the Peach Blossom Land to the maximum extent.
He felt the shadow of the dice in his Dantian and manipulated the whole Qingming Cave to surface from the ground.
The magnificent and towering palace floated in the air, moving past the ground to the northwest.
Using the power of the dice, he looked at the situation outside. At the moment, more than a dozen array masters had just unlocked the first defensive array, and they were staring at the floating palace in amazement. After a while, they reacted, “Chase!”
After several hundred miles, Lin Shu stopped, sank the palace into an underground place, set up the Four-Nine and thirty-six arrays in sequence, and then put away the Qingming cave.
The entire cave turned into bronze dice, extremely light and handy.
He and Xiao Shao came out of the mountain on the other side with their fruit — with Qingming cave.
As for those arrays, let the masters slowly solve them— while they went back to Southern Xia.
But there was one more thing to do.
There were several very powerful defensive magic weapons in the treasure house. They decided to go back to Peach Blossom Land and put them up.
In this way, they didn’t have to worry about the safety of Peach Blossom Land.
So they went back the same way.
Outside the high mountains surrounding the Peach Blossom Land, the plum blossoms were in full bloom, and through the peach forest canopies, and the mountain slit, you could see this isolated paradise on earth.
It’s just——
There was a smell of blood in the air.
