Chapter 2583 Time Has Been Dripping for Three Hundred Years

"It's been too many years... too many years..."

Being in a daze is a way to escape from pain. It might be better to cry and say that you have forgotten everything. But for a person like Cui Yigeng, whose golden body and jade have decayed under the scouring of time, but who still stubbornly stands there and never bends, how can he not be awake in pain?

So he said again: "It has been 332 years and three months... and seven days since the incident."

No one objected to this - the time Cui Yigeng had experienced was clearly reflected in his Taoist body. The frost hair and eyebrows were scars of the years.

He had only fought with Cui Yigeng once, but the impression was very deep. Jiang Wang still remembered that Cui Yigeng was a person who cherished time very much.

But a person who cherishes time like this is counting time here, wasting it bit by bit.

This is really cruel.

The life span of a god is 516 years, but Cui Yigeng's strength and character have not yet reached the end of his life span... The pain he endured in his heart was far greater than the pain his Taoist body endured.

"What happened?" Jiang Wang asked.

He casually handed the scroll to Chong Xuanzun.

When he got the scroll, he scanned it with his immortal thoughts. This scroll recorded a piece of history - in the 2531st year of the Taoist calendar, the Shao Kingdom destroyed Yan.

It seems that the [Six Yao Mountain and River Ban] set up here to seal Cui Yigeng was based on the mountains and rivers of Yan. The mountains and rivers of Yan overlapped to a large extent with the later Xia Kingdom, but that was the heyday of Yan. On the eve of being extinguished by Shao Kingdom, Yan was left with only three prefectures including Xiangyou Prefecture.

Later, the largest war of Qi against Xia took place in Tongyang City of Xiangyou Prefecture, with thousands of cavalrymen confronting each other on the Jiangyin Plain...

The normal way to break the ban is to have some understanding of the history of Yan State, a certain degree of cognition of Yan State politics, and to have a good practice in the way of banning.

After all, Jiang Wang was made a marquis in the war against Xia, and he also had a certain degree of understanding of the death of Yue Taizong and the eastward migration of Lian family in the same period. After breaking the ban with the ban, he went back to look at the question and easily learned this [Six Yao Mountain and River Ban·Remnant Yan].

Giving this historical blue slip, which may be written by Zuo Qiuwu himself, to Chong Xuanzun was to let him see if there were any hidden clues. After all, Zhanwang is very useful, and it would be a waste if it is not used.

Although Cui Yigeng shed tears unconsciously, he never had a crying expression.

A person with extremely strong will like him does not need pity, but only a little peace. Now this kind of peace is obtained in Jiang Wang's gentle voice.

He could faintly hear the sound of Buddhist chanting. Jiang Wang in front of him seemed to be in his twilight years, wearing a linen monk's robe and full of Buddha nature.

The pain that continued to extend and seemed to have no end seemed to be comforted. Cui Yigeng could see Jiang Wang's eyes more clearly. It was not the same as before, but it was still the same as before.

That year, this man came to the bamboo forest and only reported his name "Jiang Wang" and stated his purpose "asking for the sword".

He also only replied with a "yes".

At that time, he thought that at least in terms of practice, this visitor was a person very similar to him. On the road of practice, one must seize the day. The rest of the victory, defeat, honor, disgrace, benefits and reputation really don't need to be cared about.

But the road was long, and he finally fell behind.

Was it not enough to work hard?

Is suffering also time, and is pain also a kind of laziness?

Cui Yigeng, have you... failed to give your all?

Cui Yigeng was stunned for a moment: "... I don't know either!"

"That day was no different from usual. I finished my studies in the Qinxin Hall and went to the bamboo sea in the back mountain to practice sword as usual. When I walked here... I found that time has changed. The spring and autumn are different across a door."

"I saw my senior brother die of old age in an instant, and my nephew turned gray. He was still greeting me the moment before... The wave of time swept like a tsunami, and the academy was just an overturned sampan, and no one could escape."

"It was the dean who saved me."

"He sealed me here, saying that changes have already occurred and he wants to I am waiting patiently here. Only if I can see through the truth can I get out of this sealed town, pass on the news, and continue the inheritance of the academy - but I... can't do it! "

"I can't..."

"Thank you for coming. I am relieved to leave everything to you - thank you."

"I have wasted my time and can't make any progress. I use 'one heart' as my name, but for three hundred and thirty years, I have never been able to concentrate on the sword. There are cries in my ears and dead people in front of me... They are all dead. "

Cui Yi is more like a hollow tree, with only the wrinkled bark standing there. He finally breathed a sigh of relief after unloading the burden, and when the breath was released, the whole person withered. He murmured and repeated: "All dead."

"Who do you mean by 'them'?" Ju Kui asked.

Cui Yigeng looked at him and repeated painfully: "I am the only one alive in the entire Qinku Academy."

"This is impossible." Ju Kui said expressionlessly: "Unless someone transcends, no one can wipe out Qinku Academy silently. But the more transcendent one is, the more closely he will be watched. Such a huge action cannot leave no trace."

As secretive as [Nameless], he was also caught by the tail after blocking Zuo Xiao.

Qinku Academy, which has long been known as "the best in the world", has a heavy foundation and a huge influence, which can be called the contemporary cultural context. To cut it out is to directly hit the torrent of humanity. How can it be silent?

This is not like crushing a nest of ants.

It is not that the transcendent cannot erase such traces. But even for the transcendent, it is difficult to erase the shock of other transcendents in such a huge event!

"I have been here for the past 330 years. All the people who passed by my sight are dead. The auras that I was once familiar with have also withered one by one. This is my feeling and my experience." Cui Yigeng stared at the Legalist Master in front of him, with bloody tears in his eyes: "I will not lie about such things."

Ju Kui still had no expression: "I believe that what you said is not a lie, and my Legalist profession also has such a judgment on you. But my "belief" is not worth mentioning. What we need to emphasize is cognition, the correct cognition of practice and reality-based on known conditions, 'the entire Qinku Academy has perished today', this thing cannot be true."

"No one is more willing to believe that you are right than me. But-" Cui Yigeng looked around and raised his wrinkled hand again, and the hand trembled: "I can't deceive myself."

"Time keeps running forward, I can't catch up... I can't hold it. I have no strength. Since the year before last, I have been unable to hold the sword. Three hundred and thirty years have slipped through my fingers."

Cui Yigeng is a strong person.

If he wasn't strong enough, he wouldn't have survived until now. He had survived for more than 300 years, and even when his golden body and jade were old and decayed, he was still standing.

But a drop of water can wear away a stone.

Even the strongest heart can be weathered by endless failures.

Most importantly, he is no longer young. His body is so old and decayed, and he doesn't have more time. At most, he will fall down in ten years, or maybe tomorrow.

He won't die until he hits the south wall, but his blood has dried on the south wall. Layer after layer.

"Then why are you still alive?" Jiang Wang asked.

"For... inheritance." Cui Yigeng instinctively answered: "The inheritance of Qinku Academy."

"The Book Mountain is still there." Dou Zhao said beside him.

As long as the Book Mountain is still there, the inheritance of Qinku Academy will not be broken. It's nothing more than this batch of Confucian scholars died, and another batch of Confucian scholars came down the mountain. Cui Yigeng's life and death are irrelevant.

These Taixu Pavilion members are too inhumane, indifferent to the point of cruelty.

Cui Yigeng was angry for a moment, but it seemed like he was hit by something. He finally asked his heart in pain, lowered his head and remained silent for a long time, and finally raised his head: "I am not willing. I want to know what happened. I hope I can seek justice for my dead fellow disciples."

"So you can't just leave it to us." Jiang Wang said.

"Yes, I can't just leave it to you..." Cui Yigeng used his trembling hand to approach the hilt of the sword, and climbed up one finger at a time. The vines tightly wrapped around the tree.

The wooden hilt, like a worm, was about to decay, but it once again gave him strength. He seemed to hear the sound of the wind blowing through the bamboo forest again, so clean... rustling.

He, who couldn't "focus" for hundreds of years, finally had only the sword in his eyes.

"Mr. Ju." Jiang Wang had already walked to Cui Yigeng's side, but he did not rush through the moon gate. Instead, he turned around and looked at Ju Kui: "'Qinku Academy cannot have perished' and 'Qinku Academy has perished'. These two things are not necessarily contradictory. They can exist at the same time."

Ju Kui understood as soon as he heard it: "You mean, in different time and space?"

Huang Sheli had been observing silently for a long time. At this time, he gave the professional insights of a time and space traveler and echoed Jiang Wang's judgment: "Different time and space have different stories. In the history of Qinku Academy, this 'different' anchor point is not a specific year, but different people. For example, in Cui Yigeng's time and space, Qinku Academy has perished, and everyone he knows is dead. But in Zhong Xuanyin's time and space, perhaps all of this still exists. It's spring, and he's still writing letters..."

Cui Yigeng was shocked, and he suddenly raised his head! His breathing suddenly became heavier: "In other words, could everything I saw and experienced be false? Just a fragment of time and space?"

"History must be recorded on paper in the end." Zhong Xuanzun raised the blue slip in his hand, calmly: "Which one is true and which one is false depends on which history book you take with you when you leave."

The historical materials of "Shao State Conquers Yan" are quite interesting. Not only the period recorded in the book is interesting - Shao State later had an emperor named Yunhui, who was the sworn brother of Emperor Wu of Qi.

"I am more and more certain now that it is the time and space confusion of many people that has jointly led to the overall time and space sinking of the Qinku Academy." Huang Sheli touched his chin: "In Qinku Academy, not everyone has a separate time and space. These people are the key 'ant holes'."

She tilted her head and looked at this ordinary guy: "Then Cui Yigeng, what's special about you?"

Jiang Wang said for him: "Brother Cui is the eldest disciple of Qinku Academy, and his swordsmanship is very good."

"Every generation has a eldest disciple, although the best are selected from the best, not all of them can become talents." Huang Sheli looked back at Jiang Wang: "This 'swordsmanship is very good', is your judgment when you were outside the building?"

"I don't have anything special, I look ordinary, my cultivation is ordinary, my talent is ordinary, but there is only one thing-" Cui Yigeng said: "I have been in this confinement that I can't leave, and I have made no progress in 330 years, but I have never stopped practicing swordsmanship for 330 years. I don't know if it counts?"

"Of course it's settled." Qin Zhizhen said after silence: "You are a strong man who has repeatedly defeated despair."

Huang Relic was speechless for a moment.

It's not that she looked down on Cui Yigeng.

What she wants to explore is why Cui Yigeng became one of the ant nests that burst the embankment. If we find the answer to this question, we may be able to find the root cause of Qinku Academy’s deep time and space.

Can hard work and persistence be the reason? It doesn't seem very special.

In Taixu Pavilion alone, the only people she knew who practiced every moment were Li Yi and Jiang Wang. After these two people reached the top one after another, everyone else followed suit... She, Huang Relic, now used to rub a few Taoist techniques when admiring beauties!

What kind of life is there?

No one can remain unmoved before three hundred and thirty years, Ju Gui is probably an exception. He remained expressionless: "You have such a character and perseverance. It is impossible for you to make no progress for three hundred and thirty years. This is not in line with my understanding of spiritual practice."

Cui Yigeng was silent, and then said bitterly: "I am too unqualified. It is probably because of my limited talent. You are all the top people in the world, and you cannot recognize mediocrity. Some people are born and can only go so far."

Jiang Wang still remembers that after the sword quest ended, Cui Yigeng, who lost, didn't have any trouble at all. He just picked up the sword and continued to practice swordsmanship. Later, he actually achieved the divine presence and moved forward steadily step by step. Time is really cruel.

"Give me your sword." Li Yi, who had been silent since he entered Qinku Academy, stretched out his hand to him.

Looking at Taiyu Zhenjun who was wearing a white Taoist robe and only tied up his hair with a wooden hairpin, so simple and without any unnecessary things... Cui Yigeng's mood was complicated and unspeakable.

Isshin Sword is a very pure sword, and he is also a very pure person in practice.

But he understood that Li Yi was a pure-hearted seeker.

The sword Li Yi cultivated was "One".

"One heart" and "oneness".

Just one more word. But he and Li Yi were worlds apart.

He tried to make his hands more stable, held the sword in both hands, and offered it to Taiyu: "Please."

Li Yi took the [Yixin Sword], held it for less than two breaths, and put it back into Cui Yigeng's hand.

Cui Yi felt more clearly that his Ishin Sword had been unsheathed, but he did not see how his sword was unsheathed and how it was put back into the sheath. He did not even capture the sword energy or feel the sword's edge.

He had no idea what had happened in the past two breaths.

But he heard Li Yi say: "Your practice is locked."

He didn't know how he came to this conclusion, but he knew that Taiyu Zhenjun would not lie to him. What Li said is more important than the truth he knows!

He was stunned.

He opened his mouth to say something, but nothing came out.

He thought he was going to cry, but instead he laughed.

Three hundred and thirty-two years, three months and seven days!

Watching his fellow disciples die one by one, and doing nothing, being powerless.

He held the long sword with a wooden handle and a bamboo scabbard, his eyes widened, and he grinned: "So it's not that my sword and I are useless...right?"

Li Yi looked at him calmly: "Your sword is not bad."

Cui Yigeng closed his mouth suddenly and gritted his teeth!

Who locked Cui Yigeng's practice? Is it this time and space? Is he the person behind all this? Or Zuo Qiuwu who saved Cui Yigeng and sealed him here?

"Is it possible for Brother Cui to appear in other time and space?" Jiang Wang asked Huang Relic.

The person Yan Xiao saw before losing contact was also Cui Yigeng.

At this moment, the person he saw when he broke through the [Liuyao Mountain and River Forbidden] was also Cui Yigeng.

But that person was young and strong and now he is old.

Or in different time and space segments.

But at this time, Cui Yigeng said that he was here, standing in the moon gate, washed away by time for three hundred and thirty years.

He could fully feel the current Cui Yigeng's emotions, but he did not relax his vigilance. The two of them are so close now that he can respond promptly to any changes.

"In view of the special nature of this period, everyone who extends time and space alone will not appear in other people's time and space." Huang Sheli looked at Cui Yigeng: "Have you seen Zhong Xuanyin?"

Cui Yi thought more seriously for a while and shook his head.

Huang Sheli said: "Then Mr. Zhong should be fine."

"Mr. Zuo Qiuwu, as the dean of Qinku Academy, the true king of the world, and the master of Confucianism, didn't he extend time and space alone?" Cang Meng stood on the [Statue of Foreign Gods], and his voice extended through the darkness, slightly eerie.

If we say that the long embankment of Qinku Academy collapsed in many key ant nests. With Zuo Qiu Wu's identity and strength, there is no way it won't be the key!

But Cui Yigeng met Zuo Qiuwu, and Zuo Qiuwu also left a seal...

Huang Sheli said solemnly: "Dean Zuo may not only appear in Cui Yigeng's time and space, but also not exist as a passerby."
