Chapter 241 Emperor Shitian
The world of wind and cloud.
Chinese Pavilion.
Chu Yang and Wuming discussed Taoism every day. The sword energy around them was like a rain curtain. In the area covered by the sword energy, time seemed to stand still.
"You have deduced Ten Thousand Swords Returning to the Sect to such an extent that it seems to have surpassed the founder's state of mind and become a brand new martial arts."
Wuming picked up the teacup on the table and sipped the tea carefully.
At the same time, the sword energy around his body was removed, and his words were quite emotional.
Chu Yang also dispersed his sword energy, grabbed the tea cup and drank it all in one gulp, like a cow chewing peonies.
"Thank you, senior, for helping me organize my swordsmanship and martial arts."
"What's there to thank you for? It's been of great help to me. Your talent is indeed rare in the world. There are some sword moves that I can't even imagine."
"That's what I said, seniors learn very quickly."
Wuming shook his head and laughed, "You and I should stop complimenting each other and talk about other things. By the way, there is a sect that has been making a lot of noise in the world recently, do you know."
Chu Yang has been in seclusion in Zhonghua Pavilion for a long time. He is either practicing swordsmanship or martial arts, or going to the Soul Palace to communicate with everyone about his current situation. He knows nothing about the affairs in the world.
Anyway, Wuming is an important plot character, and there are no big things that can be hidden from him.
"Senior, just tell me directly. Don't be too pretentious. I eat and sleep every day. How can I know the major events in the world?"
"You, you..." Wuming was amused and laughed, and then said: "Since Xiongba was defeated and Jue Wushen died in your hands, the world has been quiet for a long time. Recently, a mysterious person has been gathering gangsters. To establish a sect.”
"Almost all the prominent underworld figures in the world have been recruited by this mysterious man, and his momentum is extremely huge."
"It is rumored that this person's name is Emperor Shitian, and his sect is called Tianmen."
The corners of Chu Yang's lips raised, and he sneered: "Tianmen? What a big statement, but with his status, he is qualified to say such big words."
Wuming looked at Chu Yang in surprise, "Do you know this person?"
Chu Yang said: "It's not like we know each other, I just read some secrets from ancient books, and one of them mentioned Emperor Shitian."
Wuming was even more surprised after hearing this. The word "ancient" was mentioned in Chu Yang's words, which proved that Emperor Shitian had existed for a long time.
"Senior, do you know the story of Qin Shi Huang who wanted to live forever thousands of years ago and sent people to find the elixir of immortality?"
Chu Yang did not directly tell the identity of Emperor Shitian, but mentioned the ancient legend.
"Everyone in China knows the story about the First Emperor's quest for immortality."
Although Wuming felt a little baffled, he still nodded.
Chu Yang continued to ask: "The senior should also know about the alchemist Xu Fu, right?"
Wuming replied: "The alchemist sent out by the First Emperor to find the elixir, right?"
"Well, that's right." Chu Yang took a deep breath and said solemnly: "The mysterious Emperor Shitian is Xu Fu himself."
Wuming suddenly froze, looking at Chu Yang's sincere eyes, he slapped his legs and laughed: "You kid, what are you kidding? You scared me for nothing. If Emperor Shizhen was Xu Fu, wouldn't he have lived for thousands of years?"
Chu Yang remained silent.
The laughter became smaller and smaller, and cold sweat suddenly broke out on Wuming's forehead, and he suddenly lost his previous calmness, "Really?"
Chu Yang nodded and said, "It's normal for seniors not to believe it. If someone else told me this, I wouldn't believe it either, but it is true."
Wuming swallowed, closed his eyes to calm down, and then asked: "If Emperor Shizhen is Xu Fu, how does he live..."
The words stopped suddenly, and Wuming said in shock: "Elixir of Immortality?!"
Chu Yang smiled and said: "Senior's guess is right, it is the elixir of immortality. Xu Fu did not fail in his search for the elixir. He even obtained the elixir before crossing east, but he did not give it to the First Emperor."
Knowing that the elixir did exist, Wuming couldn't restrain his curiosity, "What exactly is the elixir?"
Chu Yang said with a mysterious face: "Senior, have you ever heard of the four auspicious beasts?"
Wuming replied: "Dragon, phoenix, fire unicorn, and black tortoise. What are the auspicious beasts? What is the relationship between the two?"
Chu Yang stopped pretending and said, "The so-called elixir of immortality is made from the blood of the phoenix. Back then, Xu Fu led a large number of people to capture the phoenix and use the blood to refine the elixir of immortality."
"But when he saw that the First Emperor was behaving violently, he was afraid that he would live forever and the people of Li would suffer unspeakably, so he took the Golden Pill of Immortality away from the Central Plains under the pretext of traveling eastward, and did not return until hundreds of years after the death of the First Emperor."
Shocked by the news, Wuming's expression was extremely exciting, "According to your words, Xu Fu shouldn't be a bad guy. He chose to deceive the emperor for the sake of the people..."
"He was indeed not a bad person in the beginning." Chu Yang sighed: "But the horror of time lies in this. It silently destroys a person's mind. In a thousand years, only Xu Fu will live forever."
"Friends, relatives, beloved siblings, and even descendants will be lost in the long river of history. How can such loneliness not drive a living person crazy?"
After hearing this, Wuming couldn't help but daydream about what his state of mind would be like if he were Emperor Shitian.
As a result, all the hair on his body stood upside down and he was shaking.
"There is a saying that it is extremely cold at high places, and the cold of immortality is even worse."
"Time has no meaning. Xu Fu can use his long life to do what he wants to do. I heard that he has been a martial arts overlord and a nine-five-year-old master. He has even joined different sects, secretly learned their martial arts, and gathered hundreds of schools. "
Wuming was shocked, "With so many years of martial arts experience, who in the world can be his opponent?"
Chu Yang shook his head and said, "Almost nothing."
Wuming frowned and asked in confusion, "According to what you said, Xu Fu has already been the overlord of the martial arts world, so what is the point of him establishing Tianmen?"
Chu Yang said a word lightly, "Play."
"Play?" Wuming understood what Chu Yang meant, his pupils shrank and he said, "He made such a big fuss just for fun?"
"That's right." Chu Yang explained, "Fame, wealth and time are meaningless to Xu Fu. He has experienced everything that can be experienced in the world. Only playing with people's hearts can make him feel interesting."
Wuming took a breath, "Isn't he just a madman?"
"What the senior said is right. Time has eroded Xu Fu's humanity. The remaining person named Emperor Shitian is just a madman. Normal people can't think of what a madman wants to do."
"No!" Wuming stood up and paced, "We must not let this madman do whatever he wants. If we let him stir up the world and stir up hatred everywhere, how can the people live."
"I must stop him."
Chu Yang poured Wuming a cup of tea, then persuaded him to sit down, and smiled: "Senior, don't worry. Since Emperor Shitian wants to play with the world, how can he let you, the famous Tianjian, go."
