Chapter 529: The Cycle of Time

[Origin Dao: Years (Prototype)]

[Experience: 3000 points]

Buzz! !

As Chen Mu moved his mind, he chose to upgrade on the system panel. A ray of golden light also passed through the system panel, and all the accumulated experience was quickly cleared to zero.

Then Chen Mu felt that he was in a trance and fell into endless darkness. He could no longer feel his body. Only a little consciousness was erratic and entered the depths of endless darkness.

"Is it the same dead place as last time?"

This thought flashed through Chen Mu's mind, but then he was slightly startled and realized that something was wrong.

Although everything nearby was dim, he could not feel any void power. Looking carefully, it was not absolutely dark here, but it seemed to be in a dark house.

And.

Chen Mu also clearly felt his body.

However, compared with his immortal demigod body, this body was extremely weak, extremely weak, almost the same as that of a mortal, and his blood and qi were also weak, without any kung fu.

Because of his experience of escaping into the dead and silent void when he comprehended the void last time, Chen Mu was not at a loss this time. Instead, after adapting to this weak body for a while, he stood up, groped for a ray of light, and pushed open a door.

Outside the door.

There was only a faint bright moon in the dim sky.

The dim moonlight shone into the house through the door, but the house was in a mess. There was a simple bow hanging on the wall, a three-pointed spear next to it, and some scattered animal skins hanging everywhere.

This place looked like a hunter's residence.

Chen Mu looked at his body and saw that he was wearing a simple sheepskin coat. It seemed that he had come to this unknown world and became an ordinary hunter here.

Chen Mu clenched his fists and felt that all his strength disappeared. The world in this world seemed very strange. Under the restrictions of the rules, he could not mobilize the power of heaven and earth at all.

"Interesting."

"Deprive and restrict all my abilities, so that I can experience the way of time in the most ordinary state?"

Chen Mu roughly understood the current situation.

Years,

Compared with the void and creation, its power is more ethereal, more like a witness, and more difficult to touch.

The stronger the power you have, the more difficult it is to feel the passage of time and the more difficult it is to experience the way of time. Therefore, the system panel pulled his consciousness to this world, where he could not feel the way of the void, and the operation of the rules of heaven and earth was extremely rigorous, and he could not mobilize the power of heaven and earth, so that he could return to the mortal world to experience the way of time.

"Well."

"Since you are here, you should make the best of it."

Chen Mu shook his head slightly, turned back to the house and closed the door.

The next day.

In the morning, the sun rose.

He walked out of the room, found some firewood in the woodshed, started a fire, and then found some dried meat, added some scattered wild vegetables, and cooked a pot of ordinary meat soup.

Before, he was a martial saint in the Daxuan world, with his power comparable to creation, breathing in and out the power of heaven and earth, and reorganizing everything in a thought. Now he suddenly returned to the most ordinary period, even to make a fire, he had to use flint and tinder, which took a while, so he was a little uncomfortable in a short time.

Pick up the cooked meat soup.

Chen Mu tried to drink a sip, only to find that the taste was very strange and difficult to swallow, but the constant hunger in his stomach urged him to drink the meat soup as soon as possible.

Chen Mu stared at the broth for a while, and suddenly burst into laughter:

"Hahahaha."

This feeling of hunger, how nostalgic, since he had successfully practiced martial arts and cultivated to the Five Internal Organs Realm, he had never felt hungry again, and then he completely fasted, eating wind and drinking dew, and no longer had any demand for food. Occasionally, he only tasted delicious dishes, drank top-notch spiritual tea, and ate delicacies from the mountains and the sea.

He had not cooked for many years. His cooking skills were pretty good in his early years, but the broth he made now was hard to swallow.

After laughing for a while,

Chen Mu shook his head, picked up the bowl in his hand, and then gulped it down.

After drinking the broth and relieving his hunger, Chen Mu set up his posture and tried to practice two sets of boxing. As a result, this boxing gave him the feeling that it only had some physical fitness effects, and could not condense any blood.

Chen Mu was quite calm. He could not cultivate martial arts, which showed that the rules of the world in this world not only restricted the mobilization of the power of heaven and earth, but also prohibited all possibilities of "transcendence".

He came here only to comprehend the Great Dao of Time, and there was no need to care about other things.

From the lofty martial saint, returning to the mortal world, although he was not quite used to it at first, Chen Mu soon calmed down. He temporarily put everything in the Daxuan world behind him, and also put aside the matter of the demonic disaster, and began to seriously deal with the life of a mortal in this world.

He tidied up the house, sorted out some dried meat, a small amount of rice and flour, all of which were not much. If he lived frugally, it would be enough to eat for about ten days and a half a month.

Chen Mu shook his head slightly.

He put away the rations, thought for a while, and then sat down on a bluestone in front of the door, meditating and closing his eyes, trying to comprehend the Great Dao of Time.

But the situation this time is indeed different from the last dead and silent void. Last time in the dead and silent void, he could feel that he was almost in the essence of the void and could directly feel the mystery of the void, but this time, he could not feel anything after careful perception, and he could not touch the power of the Way of Time in this world.

Chen Mu sat on the bluestone in front of the door until dusk, and he still had no more understanding of the Way of Time.

Feeling hungry.

He finally opened his eyes slowly.

"Forget it, take your time."

According to the situation last time, no matter how long he stayed in this world, it should only take a moment to go back, so he had endless time here to comprehend the years, and he didn't need to be too anxious.

Since the system panel put him in such a world, it must have its unique intention.

This day.

As an outsider, Chen Mu calmly lived in Qingcheng Mountain as a hunter.

He got up in the morning and went to bed at dusk every day, watching the sun rise in the east and set in the west, trying to feel the changes of time, but the harvest was very little.

Half a month later.

The stored food was about to run out.

In order to avoid starvation, Chen Mu finally picked up the simple longbow and the iron fork and prepared to go hunting in the mountains.

After making the remaining food into simple flatbreads and carrying them with him, Chen Mu carried the longbow and the iron fork into the mountains.

The mountains were silent, with wind blowing from time to time, bringing rustling sounds of leaves. There seemed to be many ghosts in the distance, and something was scared away from time to time, but everything fell into Chen Mu's eyes, and he was very calm.

Although he was a weak mortal body and could not mobilize any extraordinary power, he was a great Xuanwu Saint after all!

With this iron fork in his hand alone, wolves, insects, tigers and leopards were nothing, unless they were monsters, they could pose some threat to him, but they had to be monsters above a certain level, and ordinary monsters of the first and second levels were nothing in his eyes.

Since the rules of heaven and earth in this world restrict the birth of extraordinary beings, there will probably be no monsters.

Go deeper into the forest.

Not long.

Chen Mu slowed down his pace, and where he looked, he could see a gray rabbit crouching in the gray fallen leaves.

He gently took off the simple longbow on his back, took out a sharpened wooden arrow from his pocket, pointed the bow at the gray rabbit, and then shot an arrow!

Swish!

The simple arrow drew an arc and accurately pierced the head of the hare, killing it with one blow!

Chen Mu looked at this scene and put away the longbow calmly.

He didn't even need to look, he knew that this arrow would hit, after all, he was a peerless martial saint, even if he didn't have extraordinary power now, but his exquisite control of strength was also the pinnacle of the world's mortals, reaching the pinnacle.

Chen Mu strode into the forest and soon came to the side of the hare. He picked it up, weighed it slightly, and was about to put it in his pocket.

But at this moment, his ears moved slightly, and he felt a gust of wind coming. So he jumped forward without thinking, rolled on the ground, and avoided the sudden attack.

Looking back.

I saw a beast with colorful hair, not a tiger, but a leopard!

The leopard was extremely agile. It missed the first pounce, and then it pounced again, biting Chen Mu's neck, locking Chen Mu's vitals. The whole movement was extremely flexible, showing its ferocity!

But facing the pounce of the leopard, Chen Mu, who had just rolled on the ground to avoid it, was not panicked at all. He had picked up the iron fork while rolling, and now he only held the iron fork and thrust it upward.

Swish!

The inferior iron fork, with his thrust and stab, pierced directly into the chest of the leopard!

At the same time, Chen Mu stood up straight, holding the leopard's body with the iron fork, and then suddenly exerted force and pushed it forward.

"Roar!"

The leopard bared its teeth and roared, and its body was pushed out by Chen Mu. After landing, it turned over and ran into the jungle and fled far away.

But Chen Mu's fork just now had accurately pierced its chest and its vitals. At this time, escaping was just the last dying struggle. Sure enough, it only fled a few steps and fell to the ground, and its limbs began to twitch.

Shaking his head,

Chen Mu picked up the steel fork and walked over. Looking at the leopard that was gradually dying, he took out a fairly sharp dagger and began to cut the leopard's body and peeled off a complete leopard skin.

Although he had been living in the mountains during this period, he had seen the scenery in the distance when he was walking up the mountain. There was a town in the distance. A complete leopard skin must be worth some money and can be exchanged for some food.

…

"Oh, it's Brother Qiu. You have caught a good prey. Let me see. What a leopard skin. This leopard must be quite big. Brother Qiu can catch it alone. This method is really amazing."

"That's right. In this area of ​​dozens of miles, Brother Qiu is the most common hunter."

"Brother Qiu, you are not young anymore. I will find someone to help you find a matchmaker and a wife tomorrow. You learned this hunting skill from your father. Don't let it be lost."

Chen Mu came to a town about ten miles away from where he lived.

Everyone in the town seemed to know him.

From the people in the town, he roughly knew that the hunter's name was Qiu Mu, and he was well-known in the vicinity because he was one of the few lone hunters. Generally, in the range of Qingcheng Mountain, hunters would only dare to go deep in two or three people.

After all, there were not only wolves and leopards in the mountains, but also tigers and big insects. Such things were not something that ordinary hunters could deal with alone. Even if two or three experienced hunters were together, one careless person might be in danger.

For the greetings of these "acquaintances", Chen Mu only responded to them one by one with a casual demeanor. After exchanging the hunting harvest for the required food and supplies in the town, he returned all the way to his residence in the mountains, and continued to get up early and rest late, and comprehend the years.

So.

Spring went and autumn came, and it was nearly ten years before he knew it.

In the town of Qingcheng at the foot of the mountain, people gradually changed the name of Chen Mu from "Qiu Ge'er" to "Qiu Ye".

Master Qiu, a famous headhunter, is well-known within a hundred miles. He once killed tigers and black bears alone in the depths of Qingcheng Mountain. He also encountered a pack of wolves and killed a pack of more than 20 wolves. He killed eight of them with his own hands!

"Master Qiu."

A man in a long gown, with two servants, came to the mountain and arrived outside the hut where Chen Mu lived. He called out to the house: "Master Qiu, I am Li Youde, and I am here to buy a top-quality tiger skin..."

Squeak.

The wooden door was pushed open.

Chen Mu walked out of the door. He was thin, but his eyes were full of fascinating light. He said, "You want to buy tiger skin? What do you want to buy it for?"

"It's like this. Mr. Liu Si in the city will be 40 years old in half a month. I plan to send him a pair of top-quality tiger skin to celebrate his birthday... I heard that Mr. Qiu has it here. If you are willing to sell it, I will say a few good words for you in front of Mr. Liu Si. Maybe Mr. Liu Si will be happy to give you a position. When the time comes, it will be better to be a master in the city than to stay in the mountain?"

Li Youde said to Chen Mu with a smile.

"Mr. Liu Si in the city?"

Chen Mu chewed on the name, then snorted lightly and slammed the door shut: "Not for sale!"

Although he rarely went down the mountain, he occasionally went to the town. He heard that there was a Mr. Liu Si in the city who bullied men and women and did all kinds of evil. Although he was not interested in these worldly matters, if the tiger skin found him, it would depend on his mood.

"......Ugh."

Li Youde was turned away, and his face suddenly darkened.

He snorted coldly, waved his hand, and went down the mountain with two servants. The more he thought about it on the way, the angrier he became. He snorted coldly: "Master Qiu? Bah, he is just a poor hunter. He dares to show off in front of me and disrespect Liu Siye. He is looking for death!"

Half a month later.

Chen Mu went into the mountains to hunt and went deep into the forest.

That night, the hut where he lived caught fire and the fire was blazing. When he came back with a deer on a steel fork, he saw a ruin. Everything in the ruins was burned, except for a tiger skin, without any trace.

"..."

Chen Mu looked at the house that was burned to ashes expressionlessly.

He knew who probably did it. He didn't have any anger in his heart and was still very calm. He always cared about the way of time. However, more than ten years had passed, and he had never understood much about the way of time.

"Time, what is time?"

"Does it make me detached from the world, not concerned with the secular world, or does it make me do what I want, or something else?"

Chen Mu shook his head.

He immediately picked up the steel fork in his hand, threw away the hunted sika deer, and quietly left the mountain.

A few days later.

An incident that shocked a hundred miles away occurred. When the news reached the town at the foot of the mountain, the whole town exploded.

Headhunter Qiu Ye, who lived in Qingcheng Mountain, went to the birthday banquet of Liu Siye in the city with a steel fork in hand. At the banquet, he took away a tiger skin, washed the birthday banquet with a steel fork, stabbed Liu Siye to death on the spot, beat and killed more than 20 servants, and disappeared after killing a bloody road!

The city was in chaos, with a large number of officers and soldiers searching in large areas. The Liu family not only mobilized the government to arrest Mr. Qiu, but also offered a reward for Mr. Qiu in the underworld. Reporting accurate information would get 20 taels of silver, getting Mr. Qiu's head would get 100 taels, and capturing him alive would get 300 taels of silver!

The town was also in an uproar. Although they hated Mr. Liu Si very much and applauded Mr. Qiu's actions, some people still ran around quietly to find Mr. Qiu's traces.

Finally.

Someone found him.

Mr. Qiu did not go anywhere, but just wore a tiger skin, carried a steel fork, and sat in front of the house on the mountain that was burned to ruins.

The people who found him did not dare to step forward and just quietly passed the news back. Less than half an hour later, a large number of officers and soldiers and servants went up the mountain with knives, guns, sticks and clubs. Hundreds of people surrounded Mr. Qiu who was sitting in the ruins.

"You are so bold, Mr. Qiu, you committed treason and killed Liu Fuya. The soldiers are here, why don't you surrender!"

A servant shouted loudly, holding a stick, but he didn't dare to step forward.

I saw Mr. Qiu sitting in the ruins, without any reaction to the shouting, and he didn't move in the face of hundreds of soldiers.

There were hundreds of soldiers, but they all felt a lot of pressure when facing Mr. Qiu. After all, he was a murderer who dared to kill dozens of people with a steel fork. It was rare in decades. Even if he was surrounded, no one dared to act rashly.

For a while.

Many soldiers only held weapons and stepped forward cautiously.

Until the officers and soldiers' spears were close to him, Master Qiu still sat still, with the long knife on his neck, still without any movement. Finally, someone dared to approach and test, and found that this murderer who had shocked the world for a hundred miles was no longer making any sound.

"Dead...dead?!"

Some people looked at each other in bewilderment.

Master Qiu's deeds came to an abrupt end, but his story spread throughout Qingcheng Mountain. Everyone in the area knew about it, and it became a story that many people talked about with relish when chatting after tea. This name also spread widely with the story, and even many years later, it was made into a drama of "Master Qiu angrily killed Master Liu Si".

But in the end, with the change of dynasties and the changes of the world, all this returned to silence and disappeared.

What is time?

Above the high sky, Chen Mu's eyes overlooked all this, and this thought was still in his mind. Then his eyes changed, and his consciousness was pulled into the world in front of him again.

This time, he was no longer a lone hunter, but was born in a wealthy family, and was just a baby when he woke up.

Chen Mu vaguely understood that this time the system panel should have put him in a state of continuous reincarnation. He had to understand the true meaning of the Great Dao of Time from this mundane reincarnation, and then truly enter the Dao.

"Then continue."

Chen Mu didn't care, and put everything behind him, plunged into a new reincarnation, and continued to comprehend the Great Dao of Time.
