CIATB Chapter 337
Chapter 337
The bearded guest was not as tactful as the martial artists around him.
He frowned and directly expressed his doubts:
"I heard that Mr. Qiao saved the city alone. That day, even the local lord of Linhe Prefecture was begging for mercy. The rest of the soldiers and civilians did not have any unusual voices. No one questioned the elders of the immortal sect, and they just wanted to survive."
"You also call it having distracting thoughts and looking ahead and behind?"
The other martial artists also nodded in agreement.
Originally, when they mentioned that they were old, they began to look ahead and behind, and they felt a little bit involved.
After all, when they were young, these lawless people in the rivers and lakes had lofty ambitions and cared about the world.
It's just that the era of martial arts has passed. The Nine Heavens Immortal Sect dominates the nine states. In front of the immortal cultivators, martial artists are also ordinary people, and the difference between immortals and mortals is like a natural chasm.
"Why don't you look ahead and behind?"
Qiao Mu shook his head.
In the past, when he encountered something, he would just go ahead.
What about now?
Now that he is old, he will think carefully.
After a little thought, calm analysis, and then find that the analysis is useless, just do it.
Maybe this is what is called growth.
Qiao Mu slowly said:
"Since we entered Jiuzhou, all we have known and seen along the way are nothing more than eight characters."
"Sad for their misfortune, angry for their lack of struggle."
These days, when he thought of the soldiers and civilians in Linhe Prefecture under the heavy rain and flood, he always felt a lump in his heart.
After killing an elder of the immortal gate, the local lord regarded him as a new elder of the immortal gate.
Even if the elder of the immortal gate was killed, this lump would not be eliminated.
This time, he chopped the waves with a sword, which has become a martial arts legend in the eyes of the world, but he only chopped off one wave, and the sea is still there.
What if the waves go away and the waves come again?
It is easy to slash the immortal in the sky, but it is difficult to slash the immortal in the heart.
Qiao Mu can kill the immortal standing in the sky, but he can't break the statue in the hearts of the people.
This is not something that can be done with just peerless martial arts.
"The sufferings of this world cannot be solved by Qiao alone, nor can they be cured by the Qiao family alone."
"To practice the immortal path, one must have spiritual roots, two must have practice resources, and three must have incense and vows, so the immortal path is destined to be a path for only a few geniuses with spiritual roots."
"People's wisdom is not open, and martial arts are backward, so we should open up martial arts!"
Qiao Mu said slowly:
"The martial arts of the world cannot be carried by Qiao alone, or by the Qiao family alone."
"Today's Taoyuan Villa is to find some like-minded fellows to jointly open up martial arts."
In fact, Qiao Mu was also mentally prepared for no one to participate.
He did not expect the martial arts people to have a high level of awareness. As long as Qiao Mu could use the reputation accumulated by the Qiao family as a stepping stone to deceive the martial arts people, it would not be a loss.
Enough martial arts, enough martial arts practitioners, and enough martial arts deduction practitioners can become the cornerstone for him to deduce martial arts and develop martial arts.
Everyone listened quietly, and they were quite emotional.
Someone sighed:
"Mr. Qiao is indeed extraordinary."
"Yes." The middle-aged scholar in the crowd sighed:
"He painstakingly established Taoyuan Villa and recruited heroes from all over the world, but he had no intention of dominating. He did not establish a martial arts force, but he had a bigger goal."
"When I was young, I had a chivalrous spirit. Now I care about the world and take it as my responsibility to save the people of the world and save the people from fire and water..."
But the flattery of the middle-aged scholar obviously hit the horse's leg again.
"Take it as my responsibility to save the people of the world and save the people from fire and water..." Qiao Mu did not comment:
"Again, don't rush to flatter me."
The high-sounding and beautiful words are indeed nice to hear, and they can indeed deceive brothers...but it is difficult to deceive yourself.
For Qiao Mu, who has lived through the dream of immortality for thousands of years, every time he dies, he must face his heart honestly.
He knows his own weight.
Even though Da Yan is now full of flatterers, there are still scholars like Hai Wuya who care about the world, and there are also soldiers like Li Changshi and Hai Siyuan who have fought alone for forty years.
But Qiao Mu is actually different from them.
"Youthful spirit is gone and it is difficult to return to the past." Qiao Mu said lightly:
"This is human nature, common things in the world, and cannot be forced."
But Qiao Mu grinned and said:
"But I insist on forcing it, and I insist on not! regretting it!"
"There are three thousand things in the world, I only ask for one to go my way!"
After the voice fell, everyone looked at each other.
Before coming to Taoyuan Villa, they naturally had their own speculations about Qiao Xin, the martial arts legend who killed the elders of the immortal gate.
In their imagination, the Qiao family naturally had a more upright and more magnificent reason for doing so.
For example, saving the people from water and fire.
However, Qiao Xin's answer was much simpler than they imagined, and it was not what they imagined a "martial arts legend" should answer.
Small-minded?
Not right.
Some warriors used to regard the Qiao family as saints.
Even though Qiao Mu deliberately broke the halo, in their eyes, the Qiao family still had the halo of "martial arts myth".
In today's Jiuzhou, the Qiao family is just like a group of inflexible, yet majestic and bright aliens, incompatible with the warriors of Dayan, just like the difference between saints and mortals.
But now, looking at him again, he is clearly an upright and magnanimous hero.
Whether to kill the immortal or not, to save the city, is nothing more than a feeling of injustice in his heart.
Seek everything to go as you wish, seek clear thoughts, that's all.
A little less aura, a little more popular.
"Even so, Mr. Qiao is still extraordinary." The middle-aged scribe continued:
"As you get older, you're probably not as impulsive as you were when you were young----"
The middle-aged scribe was about to change his angle and try to cater to him, but was stopped by Qiao Mu with a wave of his hand.
Qiao Mu had no intention of listening to these flatteries anymore, so he just picked up the wine bowl and drank.
The drink dripped down his chin and dripped into the dirt.
After Qiao Mu finished drinking the wine, his face turned slightly red, and he was obviously tipsy.
With his internal strength, if he wanted not to get drunk, he would certainly be able to drink a thousand glasses of wine. But now he was deliberately indulging himself in the villa to have a night of comfort.
Qiuxuke stood aside and stared at him for a long time.
He did not speak, and did not share his views with the others.
However, this impassioned speech really heated up the atmosphere of the banquet.
Hai Siyuan and Li Changshi stood quietly and listened quietly, with thoughtful expressions on their faces.
"Senior Qiao is right about what he said. Whether it's martial arts in the world or the great cause of conquering immortals, how can one person or a family carry the burden?" Hai Siyuan said.
"Not bad." Li Changshi also nodded.

Although they were not there when the Tongtian River burst its banks and was about to flood Linhe City.
But afterward, I learned what happened that day.
Qiao Mu said that the poor mountains and rivers of southwest China are full of unruly people, but looking at the people in other regions of Jiuzhou, there are so many ignorant and short-sighted people.
But they knew there was one exception.
That was the lonely city in the desert where they had stayed for forty years.
"The people of Jiuzhou outside are struggling to survive, but the soldiers and people of the isolated city who lived with us in the past are different."
The people of Jiuzhou are the people, but the soldiers and civilians of the isolated city are not the people?
Why is there such a clear difference between the two?
"The human heart is made of flesh, it's nothing more than exchanging heart for heart." Li Changshi's eyes were deep:
"One hundred thousand of our colleagues have held on to the isolated city for forty years without retreating. Naturally, the people know what we believe in our hearts."
"It's not just the lack of belief and fighting spirit." Hai Siyuan objected:
"If we only have unyielding fighting spirit, we will not be able to get out of that hundred-mile desert, and we are destined to be buried in it, and even our remaining souls will be used by the Immortal Sect."
"There is only fighting spirit, not unparalleled martial arts. After all, manpower is exhausted."
If the Qiao family hadn't disrupted the situation, the three hundred white-headed soldiers who had no fighting spirit might have disappeared into the desert and never made a sound again.
"Yes, it's just that the Jiuzhou outside is still short of some firepower." Li Changshi looked at the hundreds of people in the banquet.
In his opinion, the five hundred people who first built Taoyuan Villa were part of the fire, just like the generations of the Qiao family who had died.
"Firstly, I want to hone my unyielding fighting spirit, and secondly, I want to develop my martial arts skills." Li Changshi said:
"I just don't know how far this Taoyuan Villa can go."
................................................................. .....
Qiuxuke quietly cupped his hands:
"The confusion in Di's heart has been resolved. Mr. Xie Qiao has clarified it."
He turned to leave, but Qiao Mu waved at him: "Stay."
Qiuxuke had no choice but to stop.
Qiao Xin's status and reputation are too high. As an ordinary guest of the villa, it is not easy for him to disobey in public.
"Brother Di Xian is a good talker, so he is not an ordinary person." Qiao Mu said:
"If you know any outstanding talents or heroes, you might as well introduce them to me at Taoyuan Villa?"
Naturally, Qiao Mu’s lectures are not just a matter of following a script.
As the number one person on the God List, his intuition for refining gods is extremely powerful. While giving lectures, he is also secretly paying attention to the guests and audience in the villa.
Who listened carefully, who listened at a loss, who didn't know how to pretend to understand and nodded along with the crowd, who took notes seriously... He actually knew everything in his mind.
Qiao Mu simply wanted to find a talented person in the Jiuzhou martial arts world.
According to Qiao Mu's intuitive judgment, the Qiuxuke named Di in front of him is also a rare talent among the heroes.
When Qiao Mu was explaining "The Art of Divine Transformation", this person nodded his head several times and was quite impressive.
If it weren't for the fact that his martial arts cultivation level was only at the fourth level, Qiao Mu would have really thought that he had studied the method of super-level internal energy transformation.
Seeing him turn around and leave this time, she knew that this person had already intended to leave and it was difficult for Qiao Mu to keep him, so he said these words.
"Senior Qiao, you're welcome." Qiuxuke said:
"Taoyuan Villa is full of talents now. Is there still any shortage of talents or heroes?"
After saying these words, Qiao Mu looked directly into his eyes and spoke slowly:
"There is a real shortage of talented people like you."
Qiuxuke looked at him.
Suddenly, there was a rumble in the sky, thunder pierced the clouds, and electric snakes snaked in the clouds.
"Senior Qiao is so complimentary." Qiuxuke looked up at the sky and said slowly:
"Although Taoyuan Villa is nice, Di also has his own wife and children, so he cannot stay away. I hope you will forgive me."
After saying that, he walked out of the villa and gradually disappeared.
....................................................
Outside the villa.
Qiuxuke stood in the shadows with an expressionless face.
He looked back at Taoyuan Villa in the distance and seemed to be talking to himself:
"Submit your own heart, show mercy to all living beings, and serve the world... This is not a chivalrous spirit. It is clearly an upright and heroic spirit that dares to raise a butcher's knife to the gods."
"More than forty years have passed since the Alien War, and I finally have the seeds of martial arts that are different from mine...it's just a little late."
He looked up at the sky.
At this time, the moonlight and stars were obscured by clouds, and it seemed that another sudden storm was coming.
"It would be a pity if such a martial arts seed dies here."
The flesh and blood all over Qiuxuke's body squirmed rapidly, and his body continued to expand and become larger, with a dense row of air holes appearing in his back.
Boom!
Thunder suddenly appeared, and electric snakes snaked, lighting up the night sky in an instant.
In this brief light, there was a huge and blurry black shadow stepping into the void, with air jets from its back rising into the sky.
.....................................
Hundreds of miles away.
Elder Yunhe, who was sitting cross-legged in a temporary cave in the mountain, opened his eyes with a look of confusion and confusion.
"Who killed me?"
He originally planned to send the Dharma Body to act in secret, sneaking into Taoyuan Villa without anyone noticing...but he was attacked by someone unknown, and the Nascent Soul Dharma Body had fallen apart.
"It's not Qiao Xin...it seems there is someone else? Are there other Qiao family half-demon in the villa?"
"These half-demon masters of earth escape are trouble."
"However, after all, I thought carefully and only used Dharmakaya instead of me to investigate." Thinking of this, Master Yunhe was also a little scared.
Thinking about it from another perspective, although a Nascent Soul body that took hundreds of years of effort to be refined was lost, it was not nothing.
Master Yunhe quickly took out the jade talisman of communication:
"Brother, Master Master, Taoyuan Villa cannot be underestimated. There is a powerful half-demon besides Qiao Xin who is here and has damaged one of my body."
"However, although this person is dangerous, he has destroyed my Dharmakaya, so he cannot escape my grasp."
Master Yunhe sneered.
Deeper in the cave, a large black dog with a majestic body and clear muscle lines stepped out and sniffed Master Yunhe gently.
"This Vajra Mastiff beast not only has the power to shake mountains, but also has an amazing sense of smell. It can track scents thousands of miles away."
"The half-demon sitting in Taoyuan Villa seems to be a different species? Apparently his animal nature has not changed, and he swallowed my Nascent Soul Dharmakaya refined from essence, but it is not that easy to swallow..."
The messenger jade talisman in his hand flashed, and the headmaster of the Yunxiao Sect asked Master Yunhe for his follow-up opinions:
"A half-demon who can destroy your Dharma body should not be underestimated. It seems that the Qiao family's demon bloodline is really extraordinary. Could it be that they have returned to their ancestors?"
"Yunhe, you have broken a dharma body, do you want the other elders to help?"
Elder Yunhe said:
"Of course I want it."
"If you cut the weeds without eradicating the roots, they will grow again when the spring breeze blows. The Qiao family is in danger, so eradicate it as soon as possible to avoid endless troubles."
The longer an immortal monk lives, the more he cherishes his life. Since Elder Yunhe has lost a Dharma body, why would he still risk his life to cause trouble?
