Chapter 651: The Sword Will Be Stained with Blood
He has nothing in his hands, so how can he know what the Tao is? The Tao is invisible, so how can one person's opinion fully explain it? If he cannot fully explain it, there will definitely be omissions. At this time, Wenxin Bridge will surely take advantage of the situation to ask back.
There would be endless questions. How much energy and concentration would it take to answer them one by one? If you avoid answering them, it means there is a gap in your heart.
This question of the Bridge of Questioning the Heart has stumped many heroes and stopped many monks. People in the world all think that they have achieved success in cultivation and have glimpsed a little bit of the Tao, so they answer with this. However, they do not know that the Tao becomes narrow once it is spoken out.
Li Changxiao had previously felt that he had made some progress in Taoism, and had figured out the difference between truth and falsehood. When he fought against strong opponents, he repeatedly gained the upper hand by relying on the mystery of truth and falsehood.
One strike of the sword made the old man Hong Qian in great pain, but he was helpless and had no way out. He had felt proud of himself. If he had stepped onto the Bridge of Inquiry at that time, he would have been asked this question after walking most of the way.
He would certainly speak directly of the views of the Great Dao. But at this moment, after experiencing the incident with Zhao Qing and Mu Laozu, he suddenly felt the hardship of seeking the Dao, the invisibility of the Great Dao, and the difficulties of the world. He felt pity for Zhao Qing's fate, and suddenly realized that Mu Laozu's Dao was trapped by heaven and earth, and he was against heaven and earth. All these things...
Only then did he reply: "I don't know." These four short words, yet they contain a different kind of understanding of the Tao. It's not like being left speechless by a question, like a child saying "I don't know" when he is being naughty and aggressive.
How many talented people, how many monks, cannot say these four words.
"What is Tao?"
"I don't know."
At this moment, every step Li Changxiao took caused the heaven and earth to tremble, and cracks appeared on the Bridge of Questioning the Heart.
Wen Xinqiao asked again, his voice full of anger, "If you don't respect the Tao, why bother seeking it?"
Li Changxiao said again, "I don't know." He continued walking. With each step, the cracks spread faster and Li Changxiao's steps became more steady. Zhao Qing was delighted, "The Questioning Bridge really can't hold you back." Seeing the other side approaching, she couldn't help but hold on to the corner of Li Changxiao's clothes, and she missed him even more.
After that, there were no more problems with the Heart-Questioning Bridge. Li Changxiao walked to the other side step by step. The moment he stepped onto the shore, the thousand-foot-high Heart-Questioning Bridge behind him suddenly collapsed into pieces and turned into powder.
The Mu family disciples trapped on the bridge fell into the river like dumplings, and then swam up again. They were happy to have survived the disaster, but also felt a little melancholy afterwards.
Anyone who enters the Bridge of Questioning the Heart will have their flaws pointed out mercilessly. How can anyone pretend that nothing has happened? Even Zhao Qing, after stepping onto the Bridge of Questioning the Heart, has been thinking about it for nearly a thousand years.
Li Changxiao walked up to the shore, and everyone surrounded him, their eyes were like torches. A skinny old man stepped forward, got to the point, and said with a hint of caution: "Daoyou, please tell me what you have on the island."
The skinny old man was nicknamed "Tian Gu", and was good at using poison. He had a lot of experience and had a lot of say among the heroes. He stepped forward first at this moment, thinking secretly that with everyone's combined efforts, these two people would definitely not be able to escape. If they were smart, they would honestly hand over the secret of longevity. Taking this opportunity to ask questions first, he could gain more advantages by controlling the rhythm.
Li Changxiao stretched out his hands, "This is what I got." Everyone gathered around him and saw that he had nothing in his hands, not even a mud ditch. The old man Tian Gu said angrily, "Are you kidding us?"
The atmosphere was tense, and just when the tension was rising, a young man stood up and said, "Please enlighten me, my cultivation is so shallow that I can't guess the mystery. If everyone puts their heads together, maybe we can help you." His words were polite and eased the atmosphere, but in fact, he was also secretly warning Li Changxiao and everyone else. Sharing the secret of immortality would benefit everyone, but if you want to keep it all to yourself, there would be no benefit at all.
Among the hundreds of people in the field, Zhao Qing was the only one who knew what Li Changxiao meant by this move. Zhao Qing thought to himself, "Changxiao never concealed anything. He accompanied me on this journey, and what he got was nothing. But you are not very experienced, and you still cannot put life and death aside. How can you understand this feeling?"
She remained silent, but someone took the initiative to ask. A tall and strong middle-aged man with a sturdy build and broad shoulders asked with a bow, "Master Mu, please tell me clearly." The voice was like a huge bell, powerful and heavy, with a hint of coercion.
The person who was speaking was named Liu Hulong, and his origin was quite great. When he was young, he accidentally entered an island. There was a dragon and a tiger on the island. They fought in front of him, and finally both died, and his body was stained with blood. From then on, he was as strong as a dragon and as fierce as a tiger. His fighting ability was extremely strong, and he was notorious for being difficult to mess with. And since then, he has been extremely bloodthirsty, especially women's blood. Anyone killed by him will become a ghost, and will never be freed for life. He will be his slave forever, serving him with food, clothing, and shelter.
This ability still exists today, but it won't last long. The mortals killed by him will turn into ghosts in two years at most, and then disappear in the world. If they are powerful monks, they can last longer, but at most less than 20 to 30 years, and then they will completely disappear.
Zhao Qing frowned, unwilling to give him a good look. If it were in the past, if Liu Hulong dared to talk to her like this, she would have seen that he was full of hostility and karma, and knew that he was not a good person. She would have killed him on the spot immediately, so how could she let them be so presumptuous.
But at this moment, she really didn't want to cause trouble for Li Changxiao, so she said: "Everyone, the bridge of inquiry is broken, you can swim there and explore it by yourself. Changxiao and I went in alone, and we came out alone, with empty hands."
Unexpectedly, her explanation was a sign of guilt in Liu Hulong's eyes. He remembered that Mu Qin had already left the island, and there was nothing to be afraid of since he and the others were there. He stepped closer and was only three steps away from the two of them. He threatened to shout, "You're lying. If there was nothing on the island, would you leave the island? You said you had nothing, but I don't believe you. I saw the treasure of the island, the secret of longevity, and it was taken by you two dogs!"
After saying that, he suddenly stretched out his hand to grab Zhao Qing, and the moment he made his move, there was a sound of dragon roaring and tiger howling. Everyone was very afraid, even if their spiritual energy was exhausted, if they were unfortunately killed by Liu Hulong, it would be a torture.
It is better to commit suicide than to become a ghost and serve without any dignity.
However, Liu Hulong's hand was unable to touch Zhao Qing after all. Li Changxiao stretched out his hand, grabbed his forearm, and blocked the dragon-like and tiger-like strength.
Li Changxiao's eyes fell on Liu Hulong. This man was decisive and wanted to take Zhao Qing's life by surprise. There was a lot of murderous intent in his eyes. He was always kind to others, but the sword in his hand was stained with blood.
