"I was originally practicing meditation in the mountains, but suddenly I felt like going out for a walk.
"I thought I'd run into something interesting, but... I didn't expect to run into trouble, big trouble."
Bei Mingzi looked at Qin Qi. He had no intention of discussing with Qin Qi, nor did he have any intention of fighting with him.
He just sighed and shook his head.
"I don't like what you said. I haven't even told you that it's troublesome for me to leave your apprentice to me."
"Okay, okay, old man, take your apprentice back now. If you don't bother me, I won't bother you either.
Qin Qi immediately became unhappy. Although he was indeed a troublesome person, you couldn't just say it out loud like that.
I will be unhappy if you say it out loud, and if I am unhappy I cannot make you happy.
"Don't worry, don't worry."
"Discussing the Dao itself is not about competing for victory or defeat. Instead, it is about each person expressing his or her own understanding of the Dao and gaining more information through different ways of thinking.
"But both Xiaoyaozi and Chisongzi have forgotten this point. They are only concerned with the outcome of Yu Lundao's victory."
"But you are different. From the beginning to the end, you have never cared about the outcome of the debate. You defeated Xiaoyaozi of the Renzong with the Tianzong theory of the natural world and the unfettered nature.
"With the idea that all beings are equal and should be treated equally, the Renzong defeated Chisongzi of the Tianzong."
"You could have chosen a simpler, easier method, but you chose this strenuous method. Aren't you trying to enlighten them?"
"The Great Dao returns to oneness. The sect of man and the sect of heaven are ultimately just parts of Taoism. Both are correct. If you can't see through this, you can't continue to seek the Tao.
Bei Mingzi could see clearly that Qin Qi's realm was much higher than Xiaoyaozi and Chisongzi.
The outcome of this debate was decided from the beginning, but Qin Qi also enlightened the other party during the discussion.
"Don't change the subject. To fight or not to fight?"
Qin Qi was now slightly more eager to fight. Compared to Xiaoyaozi and Chisongzi, Beimingzi was a more capable opponent for him!
"Whether I win or lose, it's all the same to me. I already know what my own path is. There's no need to fight you.
"Besides, my old arms and legs can't withstand a blow from you."
Bei Mingzi is different from Xiaoyaozi and Chisongzi. They don't know what the path they are pursuing is.
But Bei Mingzi knew what path he wanted to pursue. Everyone pursued a different path, and what he pursued was the word "shackles".
"That's boring. I'll be leaving now. Come over later and take your apprentice away."
Qin Qi didn't care and turned around to go back.
"Don't be impatient, don't be impatient. Young people are too impatient. It's good to have a conversation when you finally meet someone."
Bei Mingzi called Qin Qi, who was smiling happily at this moment, as he had thought that he had already reached the forefront on the road to seeking the truth.
But when he saw Qin Qi, he realized that there were people on the same path as him.
"You challenged the various schools of thought in order to integrate their strengths. As you said, the Tao is within all things."
"By studying all things, we can understand the true nature of Tao to the greatest extent possible. This path is feasible."
"But this road is the most difficult and the most torturous. It is destined to have no end and no success.
What Bei Mingzi said is the way of Qin Qi. The great way has no end, and the path of Qin Qi has no end either.
There is no success or failure in the road, and Qin Qi is destined to fail, let alone fail. He can only keep going forever.
One year, two years, ten years is fine, but a hundred years, a thousand years, ten thousand years, this road can never be stopped.
"You will walk further and further away until there is no one around you. When you look back, you will find that there is no one in front of you or behind you."
"At that time, you will be lonelier and more tormented than a lonely person! You can die if you are separated from your friends! But you will never get the path you want!"
Bei Mingzi couldn't help but shook his head and sighed when he said this. He admitted that Qin Qi was very talented.
Higher than his new disciple Xiao Meng, and even higher than himself! This talent made him successful, but it also led him down a path that was destined to have no end!
"If there is no end, then I will keep walking. I can see the cycle of day and night in one day and the change of seasons in one year."
"A thousand years can see the rise and fall of dynasties, ten thousand years can see the vicissitudes of life, nothing in the world remains unchanged."
"Perhaps one day in the future I will feel tired, stop seeking the truth, and walk towards the road of death.
"But at least I haven't changed my mind yet."
"It's true, you can't always be eighteen, but there's always someone who is eighteen!"
Qin Qi looked at Bei Mingzi. He knew how difficult his path would be, but at least he was still unwavering.
The future may or may not change, but now is not the future.
Bei Mingzi looked at Qin Qi's determination and was a little stunned. He knew it was impossible to succeed but he still went on.
"Ah, perhaps it's because I lack your youthfulness and your sharpness that I can't see through you."
"I am obsessed with seeing through the shackles, but isn't being obsessed with having no shackles also a kind of shackle? It has no concrete behavior to express it."
"Only when I truly forget the shackles myself can I find my own way, and the shackles of my heart will disappear."
"At that time, I found my own path. It's also difficult, but compared to your path, at least I still have some hope."
Bei Mingzi knew clearly what path he should take and where he had gone wrong, but even though he knew clearly, he might not be able to see through it.
"I, an old fellow, can't help you with anything. The only thing I can do is watch you silently."
"Now I can walk this path with you and tell you that you are not alone in your pursuit of truth."
"But after you've walked this distance, I won't be able to accompany you or visit you again. Take care, fellow Taoist."
Bei Mingzi couldn't help Qin Qi in any way. What he learned was from Taoism, and Qin Qi had already learned almost everything.
The only thing he could do was to silently accompany Qin Qi on this journey and tell him that he was not the only one on the path of seeking the truth.
"I'm really not used to this kind of scene."
Qin Qi felt the sincere wishes from Bei Mingzi's eyes. These were wishes for those who were also seeking the truth, but he really couldn't get used to such a corny scene.
"Fellow Daoist, please continue moving forward!"
Bei Mingzi had a smile on his face, and his figure gradually disappeared in the light. He blunted its sharpness, resolved its conflicts, blended with the light, and became one with the dust. He was not anywhere.
But he is also everywhere! This is the realm of Xuantong or the unity of heaven and man!
"Ah, what will happen to your apprentice when you leave? Take your apprentice with you, old man!"
Qin Qi was still feeling touched, but the next second he realized that this old man had thrown his apprentice to him.
But at this time, Bei Mingzi had already run away and no one knew where he was. Qin Qi shook his head. He would remember this matter and take revenge sooner or later.
The next day, just after breakfast.
"I want to challenge you!"
Xiao Meng pointed the wooden sword at Qin Qi, her innocent face full of seriousness. She wanted to challenge Qin Qi and experience for herself how powerful he was!
"Ah, challenge me?"
Qin Qi was reading a book leisurely when he suddenly heard Xiao Meng say this. He was stunned for a moment and looked at the little boy in front of him who was only eight years old.
"Stop messing around, go, go and play with Jingwei."
In Qin Qi's eyes, Xiaomeng was just a little girl who didn't even have the qualifications to make him stand up, let alone challenge him.
If he fights with Xiaomeng, it's not a fight, it's an adult bullying a child.
"snort!"
Xiao Meng was not an ordinary girl either. Without saying a word, she raised the wooden sword in her hand and rushed forward, stabbing Qin Qi in the chest.
Although she was only eight years old, her strength was not weak at all. All six elders of the Tianzong except Chisongzi were defeated by her!
She is a true genius!
But when the wooden sword touched Qin Qi, it went straight through without even damaging the book in his hand.
"Little girl, you see the difference, right? I'm sitting here and you can't touch me, so why should you hit me?"
"The teapot is out of water, go and fill it up for me.
Qin Qi placed the teapot on Xiao Meng's head, then spoke without raising his head.
"Teach me, and I will take you as my master."
Xiao Meng knelt down in front of Qin Qi with a thud.
"No, it's troublesome. Besides, you have already accepted Bei Mingzi as your master. Although that old fellow is shameless, his strength and realm are not bad."
Qin Qi said.
"My senior brother abandoned me, and my master also abandoned me. If they don't want me anymore, then I won't look for them anymore."
"You are very powerful, so I want to become your disciple. I also want to become stronger! Become stronger than anyone else."
Xiao Meng didn't have any thoughts of seeking the truth at this moment. She just wanted to become stronger, stronger than everyone else!
"Your ambition is good, but it's too weak. Go play with Sister Jingwei and Sister Xuenu. They both like children. Don't bother me here."
"Go, go, go. By the way, don't forget to bring the teapot back to me later."
Qin Qi waved his hand, signaling Xiao Meng to leave quickly and not disturb him from reading.
"Are you afraid that I will surpass you after I learn it?"
"You should be afraid. After all, I'm only eight years old and I'm already this powerful. I'm sure I'll be even more powerful than you when I grow up."
"By then I will be able to defeat you and surpass you. You are afraid of being defeated by me."
Xiaomeng stood up and spoke before leaving.
"Girl, you are still young and your horizons are still limited. You are looking at me like a frog in a well looking at the moon. You only know that I am powerful but you don't know how powerful I am.
"When you grow up and become the world's top expert, you will have the right to know how powerful I am and be able to look up at my back from the foot of the mountain."
"Although you are a genius, there are differences between geniuses. I have seen many people who are called geniuses."
"But in the end, they all fell into my hands. Remember, there are always people who are better than you, girl."
Qin Qi didn't get angry after hearing Xiao Meng's words, but laughed instead. This method of provoking was so cute that she couldn't help laughing.
"There are always people who are better than you. Is there anyone in this world who is more powerful than you, or Master Bei Mingzi?"
From Xiaomeng's current perspective, she felt that Qin Qi and Bei Mingzi were the most powerful people in the world, and no one could surpass them.
"Of course there is. There is no strongest person in the world, only stronger people. Well, although I haven't met someone stronger than me yet."
"But I believe there may be in the future."
Qin Qi looked up at Xiao Meng and thought about it seriously. For a moment, he really couldn't figure out who this outsider and Tianwaitian were.
Xiao Meng looked at Qin Qi, her expression slightly thoughtful. She firmly recorded Qin Qi's words in her heart.
There is always someone better than you
There are people out there, but I haven't met anyone stronger than me yet. It sounds really awesome.
Xiaomeng left the house and went to the kitchen to fill the teapot with water. When she was about to go back, she ran into Xue Nu who was eating secretly.
"It's Xiaomeng, don't tell anyone else about this."
Xue Nu was secretly eating snacks. She took a piece of sweet cake and stuffed it into Xiao Meng's mouth as a hush money.
"You're with such an amazing person, so are you amazing too?"
Xiao Meng ate the dessert in her mouth. It was delicious, but she was not the kind of greedy child. She had to start getting stronger right away!
"As for me, I'm not that good at all. I can't fight at all. But if you're good at dancing or playing music, I'm pretty good."
"But I really don't know how to fight."
The Snow Girl showed a mischievous look. She really couldn't fight, although the flute she played could bury thousands of troops and her dance could kill people invisibly.
But she is really just an ordinary dancer who just wants to live a peaceful life. She doesn't know how to fight at all.
"oh."
Xiao Meng believed what Xue Nu said and walked away with the teapot. When returning the teapot to Qin Qi, she attacked again, but it was still ineffective.
"Girl, stop bothering me. Here, take it and practice it yourself."
Qin Qi then tossed the book to Xiao Meng.
"Hundred-step flying sword."
Xiao Meng picked up the book. Inscribed on it were four large characters: 997, Hundred Steps Flying Sword. "Can I learn this?"
"Don't worry about learning. If Guiguzi comes to you, please let him come to me."
Qin Qi didn't care about the secret book. He would learn it the same way with or without it. He spoke as if he couldn't learn it without it.
With his talent, he can learn it immediately after just one look. It doesn't matter to him whether there are secret manuals or not.
"OF"
Xiao Meng took the Hundred-Step Flying Sword to the yard and began to practice, and practiced until noon.
She stopped what she was doing and consciously went to help Jingwei cook. She was now an unwanted child and had to be sensible or she would be abandoned again.
"Your sword looks powerful. Are you strong?"
Xiaomeng looked at Jingwei and asked the question again.
"This sword, well, it used to be very powerful, but now it's used for cutting vegetables and chopping wood, which is quite useful.
"Am I very strong? Well, not really. There are many things I don't know. I'm actually quite stupid."
What Jingwei said about herself not being strong was true. Ever since she saw Daozhi's lightness skills, Li Mu's military formation, and Qin Qi's strength, she really felt that she was very weak.
As for being stupid, it was obvious that the Snow Girl could learn the song after just one look, but she needed to spend a long time studying it, so she thought she was stupid.
"Oh, if you are so weak and stupid, why do you follow that strange guy?"
"Do you also want to become his disciple and become stronger?"
Xiao Meng felt a little closer to Jing Niu. Compared to the gentle Snow Girl with a smile on her face, she preferred the cold and expressionless Jing Niu.
There's no reason, it's just a simple instinctive choice.
"No, I just want to live a normal life, even though life with Mr. Qin Qi requires running around."
"But it feels fulfilling. Unlike before, when I was just acting like a weapon, now I feel like an ordinary person."
Jingwei tilted his head, thought for a long time, and then replied, "Is there any special music to follow Qin Qi?"
It seems not, I just simply felt safe and secure being with Qin Qi, so I stayed.
After a long time, I don't want to leave.
"I won't be like this. I don't want to be an ordinary person. Ordinary people can't do anything. I want to be strong!"
"I want to become the strongest swordsman!"
Xiao Meng spoke.
"The strongest... isn't really that great."
When Jingwei thought about herself as the number one killer, anyone who heard her name would be afraid.
But so what? She was still unhappy in the end, but she became happy after becoming an ordinary person.
After lunch, Xiaomeng continued to practice sword fighting!
I saw someone say that Qin's Moon was too long, so I started speeding up and tried to finish the plot of Qin's Moon as quickly as possible and return to Under One Person!
ps: Xiaomeng is only eight years old at this point in time. The minimum sentence is three years, and the maximum penalty is death penalty! I'm not talking about the protagonist, I'm talking about myself! I don't want to go in yet!
