The top of Mount Hua is rarely visited.

If it weren't for the emperor's sacrifice and the scholars went out, there would have been no people.

However, after the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Xiyue Temple was rebuilt here by Fengshan Mountain. There were many tourists.

There was also a Huashan Sect where Shen Yuanjing was located. After the war outside Jiangdu City, this place became a holy place for the martial arts world.

This time, Song Que came to the south and invited Shen Yuanjing to fight here, which caused a sensation in the world, and even the government and the country were a little shocked.

Some people wrote a letter saying that ministers fought privately, which damaged the reputation of the court, and asked the emperor to stop it. Li Shimin said: "The Grand Master has been waiting for this battle for more than 20 years. How can it be abolished because of temporary discussions? Moreover, the Grand Master inherited the ancestors of Confucianism, advocated literature and martial arts, and the Grand Master was an example in the world, which was to use this to inspire the upward spirit of the subjects."

The words stop.

At this moment, the Great Zhou Emperor Li Shimin sat in the Huashan Sect and said, "Wugui, sir, still refuse to see me?"

Changsun Wugui shook his head and sighed softly: "Master said that the world has been conquered for you, and he has fulfilled his promise, so he will not see you anymore. Besides, he has always opposed martial arts forces' interference in the government affairs. Now the Huashan Sect is the largest martial arts force, and he should not appear in the court."

"Oh!" Li Shimin sighed, as if he had known this was the result for a long time, and asked again: "But then Qian'er grew older, and the other children were outstanding. I am afraid of repeating the mistakes of Li's family in the future. What should I do? Can you have any countermeasures?"

Changsun Wugui hesitated for a moment and said, "Master said that it's okay no matter who is appointed as the crown prince. As long as you are willing to retire, you will become the Supreme Emperor early, support the new emperor for three or five years first, wait until the court is stable, then retreat completely, ignore government affairs, and enjoy your old age. Everything can be solved."

Li Shimin was shocked when he heard this. After a long time of silence, he recovered and said firmly: "I understand. I will go back to cultivate Qian'er how to advance the country. When I complete the 'destruction of all directions', I will pass the throne to him. Then, I will live in seclusion on Mount Hua with you, Wan Jing, Yuzhi and others, and give birth to ten or eight more children. I will bother you every day."

Speaking of this, he laughed again and said, "When sir, I have even thought of my temple name and posthumous title. At that time, I will hint that boy Li Qian to give me the title of "Emperor Taizu Gao". What about you, at least, is "Empress Wende", hahahaha!"

Changsun Wugui knew that he suddenly heard such shocking words, and his heart was stirred and he didn't know how to deal with it. She neither agreed nor comforted her, but just stepped forward and hugged him.

After a long time, Li Shimin recovered and said calmly: "What else do you have to do?"

Changsun Wugui said: "Master wants you to treat the people well and keep in mind the theory of the king, boat, people and water; you must always be vigilant against foreign enemies and not forget to be vigilant in times of peace. Also, we sisters are his disciples, and the forces behind them are complicated. If there is any inappropriateness, I hope you will be open to the Internet."

"I am also his apprentice!" Li Shimin felt sad and said with a wry smile: "Forget it, sir, I haven't even seen Xiuning a few times. How can I still have extravagant requests for the apprentice I picked up? Let's follow what he said."

Changsun Wugui laughed, raised his pink fist and beat him, and said, "It's so aggrieved that you're a wild child. I'll beg my master again. He's cold and warm, and he's sobbing and maybe he'll agree."

Li Shimin shook his head and said, "No need. Broken void is the wish of Mr. for many years. The war is imminent. I should not disturb him for this little thing, so as not to mess with his mind."

He stood up and said, "It's going to dawn, let's hurry over. There are too many people coming today. You can still grab a good seat when you go early. You can't miss this kind of event that is rare in a thousand years."

Changsun Wugui gave him a blank look and said, "You are the emperor, and you still have to compete with others for the position, don't you feel crowded?"

"Hahahaha." Li Shimin laughed and said, "I was greedy for you and I to look at the lanterns back then. Isn't this the same scene? Let's go." He held the other person's hand and walked out slowly.

...

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, the breeze is relaxing, and the ancient pines are like old fishermen, sitting on the edge of the cliff, fishing in spring and autumn.

Song Que faced the cliff and said leisurely: "You brought me the Seven Killing Sword through Yuzhi, "All things are born to nourish people, and no one has any virtue to repay heaven." This is the Killing Sword and the Killing Sword.

Later you brought me the first magic sword style "Little Building One Night to Listen to Spring Rain", a wonderful name, with a long and full of beautiful memories. The sword moves you can use are lonely, cold and heartless.

The third time you gave me the sword technique was Kou Zhong's six tips for arrogance and cold. Every thing was cold, every poem was arrogant, and he was angry. I was still wondering at that time that this sword technique was obviously not in line with the boy's nature, so why did you teach him? Later I realized that you still had expectations for him, but unfortunately he was not only unpride, but also not even arrogant.

Next is the second style of the Magic Sword "Seeing the Autumn Wind in the Morning of Luoyang". I saw from the sword technique that the prosperity of Luoyang is not my hometown after all. Those who are sad and intoxicated are only different.

Finally, I received a sword technique with a weird name. I don’t know why I called it the ‘flying knife’, but I understand it is the sword of redemption and the sword of benevolence. But this sentence, “It’s useless to miss you, it’s not bad to be melancholy, it’s so madness”, is really touching.”

When the two met for the first time, he was like seeing an old friend who had not seen for a long time, turning the old past into wine, one cup after another. After sighing, he turned around and said:

"Each of these four sword techniques is wonderful. Your understanding of sword techniques is even more profound than mine, which means that it is better than everyone in the world. But I still know that you are using a sword!"

Shen Yuanjing said: "I naturally use a sword. I have never concealed it, and I have told everyone."

Song Que nodded in agreement and said, "I have heard the flute music played by Yuzhi, so the rhythm represents internal strength?"

Shen Yuanjing said: "Yes."

Song Que said: "I have seen your calligraphy. Is that martial arts move?"

Shen Yuanjing said: "Yes."

Song Que said: "But you took out the sword technique alone."

Shen Yuanjing smiled and said, "So I took out the sword technique alone."

Song Que looked sideways. The other party's left and right hand was exposed under the dim moonlight, and it was still as plump and white as jade. His fingers were slender, with clear joints and emitting bright light. He was indeed a good swordsman.

He knew the difficulty of today's battle, but he became more and more excited and helpless, and said, "Every knife technique you sent here is a training for me. I can do this today, thank you for your kindness.

But this sword technique is also a kind of constraint. I couldn't think of a way to surpass it, so I didn't dare to come to see you, for fear that it would affect today's duel. In five years, I watched Li Shimin take the world step by step, but I was trapped in Lingnan and dared not move."

Shen Yuanjing smiled and said, "Because Brother Song is an indescribable genius, he can naturally see the situation clearly. Lingnan is remote and cannot compete with the heroes. He can't even be the leader of the king or even be in a corner.

Even if you send troops from Lingnan, where can you go? Not to mention the two demon sect forces standing in front, what can you do if you successfully join Kou Zhong?

When we occupy Chang'an, the world's general trend will be destined. Besides, after you met Kou Zhong, didn't you already understand that he was not a real dragon? Otherwise, Kou Zhong would invite him repeatedly and Fan Qinghui came to ask for permission in person, and you ignored it."

Song Que showed pain on his face and said, "I don't regret it, but I regret it. I often wonder if I was outside Jiangdu that day, would Qinghui not die."

Shen Yuanjing said lightly: "Maybe it's okay to avoid it. It's just that the river water outside Jiangdu City dyed red, the Buddha statues in the world rolled in front of the temples and Buddha statues, and the family in the Song Dynasty in Lingnan burned down."

Song Que was silent, and after a while, he sighed, and asked again: "I heard that Qinghui's only disciple Shi Feixuan has really become a monk and become a nun. From now on, the ancient Buddha of Qinglanterns is not right?"

Shen Yuanjing raised his eyebrows, turned his head to look, and suddenly understood something, and chuckled, "Yes, she has become a useless person. If she doesn't enter the temple, she can only get married."

Song Que was slightly angry and asked, "I heard that Emperor Zhou had already discovered where Cihang Jingzhai was and ordered Tubo to hand over it, right?"

"Of course." Shen Yuanjing stretched out his body and replied: "If Tubo gives it, it will first eliminate a small problem; if it doesn't give it, it will eliminate a big problem. Why not do it?"

Song Que became more angry and said, "Although the Song family is a tourist at Lingnan, they can travel south from Guangping County and take root here for three hundred years. I was born and raised here, but when I was old, I asked the Song family to move to their ancestral homes.

Even though I hide from the Western Poles, what I am thinking about is still the old place of Panyu. Quzhou Hou, now it sounds ridiculous."

Shen Yuanjing then teased and nodded, "I am getting younger and younger when I return from thousands of miles. I smile, but I still have the fragrance of plum blossoms when I smile. I wonder if Lingnan should be bad, but I said: This place where I feel at peace is my hometown."

Song Que was shocked and closed his eyes. All emotions brewed in his heart, fermented into wine, and drank it in one gulp. Finally, he put aside his love and family friendship, only martial arts.

He opened his eyes, took off the knife from his body, looked carefully, and said, "Twelve years ago, I ended my sharpening of the knife, went north to kill Bi Xuan, and tried the sword in the world. In another three years, I tried my best to find out where Shi Zhixuan was going, defeated him by nine moves, and marched into the broken realm.

After that, he went to the West through great difficulties and defeated the eighteen kingdoms for Kou Zhong, which was exchanged for Ning Daoqi and the five monks to take action, cut through his so-called kingdom of gods and reach the great perfection."

Every time he said, his momentum became stronger, but his people became calmer. Until the end, the red sun rose and the world was clear, he said:

"I know that in terms of sword techniques, I will never be able to compare with you. For this reason, I will simplify the complexity. After condensing this sword, I will call it the 'Sky Sword'. Please accept it with a smile, Brother Shen!"

At this moment, there were people standing in the distance. Seeing Song Que pulling out his knife, he closed his breath and dared not speak, for fear of missing every moment.

Shen Yuanjing smiled and said, "But by chance, I also have a sword, which I have started and want to try out the sword with someone. Brother Song knows the Zhuxian Sword Formation? Qingxuan used the Thirteen Styles of Qingfeng, Xiufang learned the Baiyun Sword Technique, the Wanmei Sword Technique, and Feng'er practiced the Huifeng Wu Liu Sword."

No matter how the other party reacted, he continued to speak, "I once dug a treasure and practiced a magical sword technique. The four sword techniques separated were represented by four different images, namely flying catkins, duckweed, fallen leaves and snow. Their power was also first-class. It was combined, and it was also a sword technique that rotated in four seasons, with its power increased by hundreds of times.

Although I was not at that time, I was thinking that I could do what others could do. I happened to have four sword techniques in my hand, so I tried it. Unfortunately, I was glad that the enemy was in front of me and I put it aside. Brother Song should understand why?"

Song Que nodded. The enemy was in front of him and there was no need to use this kind of martial arts to win; if you can't win, you don't have enough realm, and you can't combine the unique skills that can turn defeat into victory.

He asked, "So, Brother Chen has mastered this sword technique now?"

"Well, I got something by chance." Shen Yuanjing smiled and said, "I had to deal with the two great masters of Brother Ning and Brother Song alone. Besides, there were experts like the Evil King peeping in secret and making enemies with the Turks, which was a bit difficult.

Although the Zhenwu Beidou Formation is unparalleled in the world, the number of people is difficult to be fully prepared. It is not enough to deal with the Grandmaster at the top of the world, so I recalled this idea at the beginning.

After a little attempt, the four sword techniques combined were indeed very powerful. In the past fifteen years, except for the perfection of polishing the mood, most of the rest of the energy has been spent on it."

He slowly pulled out the long sword with his right hand, and gently flicked the sword body with his left hand, making a "ding" sound.

At this time, the jade flute was leisurely and the guqin was gurgling. Sometimes there were whispers of the pipa, the flute was leaping, the pipa was laughing, the qin, the qin, and the drum sounded.

Shen Yuanjing looked solemn and said, "My sword means 'wind', 'flower', 'snow', and 'moon', and calls it 'human desire', please taste it with Brother Song!"

...

The sword light rose, like the bright moon that had not yet set, with a cold and ruthless arc, as if it was about to cut the sun in the sky and occupy all the glory of the world.

He was the most famous handsome man in the martial arts world in the previous era, and he admired himself. Even the lord of Cihang Jingzhai Fan Qinghui wanted to be fascinated by his charm.

He came from a famous family, and the Song family was one of the four major families in the world. As the eldest son, he was born noble.

He was one of the few famous generals in the world. He was the hero of Emperor Wen of Sui and led 100,000 elite soldiers, and also allowed him to win ten battles and break up the soil and become a marquis.

He is a genius who is rare in the Central Plains martial arts world in a century. He became famous at a young age and has never been defeated since entering the world.

But Song Que has regrets.

It’s a pity that a boy cannot unite with his lover, and he will be separated from his own side.

Secondly, middle-aged people cannot preserve their family and submit to power.

Three regrets that the elderly cannot be the leader in martial arts, and they still have to be the ones who challenge them.

Therefore, this sword incorporated all his energy and spirit, and tried everything to cut off all the shortcomings and everything in people's hearts.

Shen Yuanjing smiled slightly. This was an ordinary long sword, and it was handed out ordinaryly, and everyone in the world could see clearly.

But in Song Que's eyes, the sword disappeared.

It is not integrated into the light, nor in the shadow, but it has truly disappeared.

When it appeared again, it had already hit his heart and was about to stop.

In an instant, Song Que was defeated and understood what kind of sword technique this was.

The sword does not disappear, but is integrated into the human heart.

"Wind", "flowers", "snow", and "moon" are not "joy", "angry", "sad", "joy"?

"Human desires" will always exist in everyone's heart and can only be escaped until death.

No matter how fierce the sun is, there is still a shadow underneath. How can there be a ruthless person in this world?

Song Que thought he had cut off everything, but in fact he was just cutting off everything he thought he had cut off.

...

Shen Yuanjing was better than Song Que, and a "crack" sound rang out in his heart, like a chick crawling out of an eggshell.

There was also a slight "click" sound from the sky, as if a door was gently opened, waiting for him to enter.

The door was full of unknowns, with great horror and great joy. He ignored them, turned his head to cover the light of the sun, smiled at the disciples, jumped, fell into the sky, and disappeared suddenly.

In the 18th year of Emperor Taizu of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the imperial teacher Shen Lang ascended to the top of Mount Hua.
