Chapter 148 Asking Heaven and Earth for a Breath
Accepting the Sacred Heart Talisman, Li Hao thanked Chu Jiuyue again and asked him to thank His Majesty Emperor Yu on his behalf.
Li Hao's impression of the most noble being of the Great Yu Dynasty still remained at the first sight he saw when he was a baby, when he first came here.
It was a towering figure, an extremely burly figure, sitting on a dragon chair, with great energy and a domineering air that looked down on all living beings.
It seems that you can only worship from a distance, but cannot get close or offend.
However, the other party's several bestowals made Li Hao feel that that majestic figure was not so cold, ruthless and unattainable.
…
The snow is still falling.
The burned letter received no response and remained silent.
No more letters came from Qingzhou City.
Li Hao still practices by himself every day, describing the wind, snow and mountain scenery outside the pass, fishing for little monsters in the mountains and fields, and exploring the vast and vast way of heaven and earth. Deep in his heart, he still does not want to miss the ultimate. search.
Maybe he also has a martial arts heart?
Time flies by.
In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed.
From the early winter outside the camp to the late winter now, the snow on the ground is even thicker.
But all things are like yin and yang. When the falling snow accumulates to a certain depth, it is the day when the clouds and moon break through.
In the snow, there is a demon sneaking out of the cave in the distance, preparing to hunt for its own food.
In the forest, two wild beasts, mountain tigers, were fighting for a deer carcass.
The river is frozen, but there are small fish swimming back and forth in the water under the ice.
On the top of a snow-capped mountain, Li Hao was sitting here. He could sense the movement and movement of everything within dozens of miles, and his body seemed to be integrated into the peak.
He looked at the clouds and the rising sun, and listened quietly to the sound of the snow falling and melting.
Heavy snow falls from the sky, but it is the mist from the earth that evaporates and solidifies.
The seeds buried deep in the soil germinate, grow vigorously, and become towering trees. When autumn comes, when the autumn wind blows, the fallen leaves can float to the distant sky.
Fish are trapped in water and live in the low places of the earth, but they are as comfortable as soaring in the sky.
But people on land seem to be running around, happy and free, but they are imprisoned by various orders, like invisible chains and shackles, from which it is difficult to escape.
All things are sentient beings, but all living beings are not all things.
In the past six months, Li Hao has touched the bottleneck of the way of all things. The limitless aura is right in front of him, and he is just a little short of being able to break through the obstacles and understand everything.
Today, he has the artistic conception of all things integrated, and many sword techniques have been reorganized again. Although his cultivation is still at the Heavenly Master Realm, he has truly reached the limit of the Great Grand Master Realm. His actual combat power is about half stronger than that in Dayue City. .
If he met the little demon king again, he would be able to kill him easily with the sword moves he had learned over the past six months.
At first, he only relied on the reincarnation sword technique created by him within a few minutes between battles to achieve terrifying lethality. Now that he has mastered it for half a year, he has improved and improved this sword technique.
At this time, a gust of cold wind came, blowing past my face and rolling up the snow on the ground.
wind?
A thought seemed to pass through Li Hao's eyes. He narrowed his eyes slightly and sat quietly for a moment, but the thought slipped away again.
He had always felt this way in recent days, but he always lacked the strength to grasp it.
Raising his hand to brush the snow off, Li Hao picked up the little white fox nestling beside his knees, stood up and left.
Fly through the air and return to the camp.
In the past six months, the number of stone houses built around the camp has also increased. Considering that the war will come at any time in half a year, Li Hao did not spend too much effort on building residential houses. He just regarded it as a kind of fun or participation. Understand the natural process.
He still cooks lunch himself.
During the meal break, Li Hao once again persuaded Song Qiumo to return to Tan Palace instead of staying here with him.
The Demon King of Wanshan could endure the pain of losing his son for half a year, which shows that he is an extremely mature and calm demon king. If Song Qiumo never leaves, the other party may spend a lot of money to invite other demon kings to tie up Song Qiumo just to be on the safe side. .
Therefore, Li Hao felt that there was no need for her to stay here and spend time with him.
Guarding Tianmen Pass, Li Hao felt that it was a private matter that he had undertaken, and he did not want to involve too many people.
Song Qiumo didn't say anything, just ate the food silently. After finishing the meal, she raised her head and said to Li Hao: "Since you said so, I'll leave today."
Li Hao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "If you go back, say hello to the palace master for me."
"OK."
Song Qiumo nodded, agreeing very simply this time.
After finishing the meal, she packed away some of the small accessories she had purchased here these days. They were all small items she bought incidentally when purchasing supplies from nearby cities, such as silk hairbands, bracelets, bells, etc.
After all the things were taken away, Song Qiumo said goodbye to Li Hao.
"Aren't you sorry?"
Li Hongzhuang accompanied Li Hao to see him off. When he saw Song Qiumo's figure completely disappearing from the sky, Li Hongzhuang looked at Li Hao and asked.
"Pity?"
Li Hao was confused.
"Deep down in your heart, you must still hope that she can stay, right?" Li Hongzhuang said softly.
Li Hao laughed and shook his head slightly: "Then you are wrong. I am really happy for her to leave. At least she does not have to be in danger."
"real?"
Li Hongzhuang was slightly surprised and stared at Li Hao.
Li Hao said: "If possible, I hope you can leave too. There is no need to stay and be buried with you. I may be able to leave, but you may not be able to."
Li Hongzhuang frowned slightly, stared at Li Hao, and said:
"Do you have any other options? Just rely on the senior alone. I'm afraid he can't stop it. Unless he is the second uncle who has reached the ultimate level of knowledge, he may be able to suppress it with one punch."
The Four Realms are divided into four levels, and the differences between each level are huge. Li Hongzhuang cannot tell what level the senior is.
"There is only one way."
"What?"
"If you can't fight, run away."
"..."
Li Hao smiled and returned to the camp.
Li Hongzhuang quickly caught up and said seriously: "What time has it been? I'm still in the mood to joke. Why don't you go find Fourth Uncle first? If Uncle Xiao Ran comes forward, even the ordinary monsters in the Fourth Realm will be no match."
Li Hao's eyes flashed and he shook his head slightly. When he left the Li family, he was alone. Except for the luxurious clothes he was wearing, he took nothing with him. He didn't even want the famous sword Yong Ye, but he just didn't want to take it again. I don’t want anything from the Li family to rely on any relationship with the Li family.
"Now is not the time to be stubborn!"
Li Hongzhuang saw Li Hao shaking his head and said hurriedly: "We have speculated before that if the Demon King of Wanshan comes over, we are likely to face an attack from three demon kings. As long as they fight two against one, they can restrain the senior for just a moment. , the remaining one can kill you!"
"I see."
Li Hao looked at her quietly: "So I said, if the situation is not right, I will run away in advance. As for you, you may become a burden and I will not be able to control you by then. If you don't want to die, you'd better leave as soon as possible."
"It will be too late by the time you notice." Li Hongzhuang said anxiously.
Li Hao shook his head slightly and said no more to her.
Seeing how stubborn Li Hao was, Li Hongzhuang sighed and had no choice but to pack her luggage and said:
"I can't persuade you. I'll go back to Qingzhou to find your father, second uncle, fifth uncle and others to persuade you. I hope the Demon King of Wanshan hasn't had time to come over by then." Li Hao felt a little helpless towards this little aunt, and also A little speechless, he shook his head and ignored it.
Li Hongzhuang packed up her luggage and left. No one could bear the anger of the Demon King of Ten Thousand Mountains. Just like Li Hao said, she would only be a burden if she stayed here.
On the other side, Li He was anxious and sent messages to Qingzhou one after another, but there was no response.
He didn't know what the Duke was thinking, but his order was to protect Li Hao and he couldn't leave as easily as Li Hongzhuang.
At this moment, Li He was thinking about whether he should knock Li Hao unconscious and take him away by force.
But in the battle at Dayue City, he knew that he was no match for this young master. When the demon came, it was not certain who would protect whom.
When he was thinking about whether to make a sneak attack, suddenly his vision went dark.
Then, he fell straight into the snow, his face hitting the ground.
Feng Boping's figure walked out from behind Li He, patted him casually, and said to Li Hao: "This old boy from the Li family is as stubborn as those in the Li family, so we can only send him away first."
Li He, who had just been thinking about how to make a sneak attack to knock Li Hao unconscious and carry him away, was now knocked unconscious.
Li Hao smiled and handed Li He to Ren Qianqian. There were fast horses in the camp. He said to Ren Qianqian: "You can take him out of Liangzhou and go anywhere. Well, let's go to Qizhou. Wait for me at Cangyu City."
Ren Qianqian's face was full of worry. She wanted to persuade him, but in the past few days, she saw that Song Qiumo and Li Hongzhuang had repeatedly tried to persuade him, but it was all in vain. Knowing the young man's temper, she would never give in.
She could only agree, staring at Li Hao and saying: "Master, I will wait for you in Cangyu City. You must survive!"
Li Hao saw the girl's eyes as clear as lake water, and felt the untainted concern in her eyes. He smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry, you learn the sword from me, I haven't let you learn it yet. With real swordsmanship, you won’t die so easily!”
Ren Qianqian bit her lip slightly and said nothing.
Even if you don't teach me swordsmanship, I don't want to see you die... She stared deeply at Li Hao, but these words were only in her heart and were not spoken out.
Without saying much goodbye, Li Hao slapped the red-blooded horse on the butt and sent the girl away.
Li He's body was also carried on the horse, and they left together along the Longguan Road.
This Longguan Road was cleaned by Li Hao. Within half a year, demons would occasionally pass by, but they were all killed, so it was relatively safe.
"Little guy, if something happens to me, you can find a cave to practice in this wilderness."
Li Hao lowered his head and looked at the little white fox holding him tightly with two small paws at his feet.
The little white fox raised his head, looked at Li Hao pitifully with his watery eyes, and bleated like a fox, with a strange sound.
Li Hao returned to the small fenced courtyard. As the others left, the courtyard suddenly became a little empty.
In the snow next to her, the figure of the girl practicing sword was missing.
In the side bedroom, there was no charming figure of Song Qiumo.
In front of the lonely grave thousands of miles away, there was no bright red figure drinking and sitting in meditation.
"Mr. Feng, you haven't caught the Demon King yet, have you?"
Li Hao looked at the old man leaning on the old man's chair in the courtyard and smiled. He had known him for many years and could be regarded as a close friend. He owed him so much and deeply that he couldn't say thank you.
"Well, I can try it this time."
Feng Boping chuckled, holding a bottle of wine in his hand and shaking it gently.
Li Hao sat next to him, took two sips, and asked: "Mr. Feng, it's been so long since I've been here that you've never urged me to practice."
He knew that in the eyes of others, his daily behavior looked like a plaything. When he was in the mansion, he was still a little worried, but here he was completely relaxed.
Let go of "cultivation".
"Cultivation is also for happiness. Since you are happy, it doesn't matter whether you practice or not?"
Feng Boping chuckled.
Li Hao had long known that Mr. Feng had a free and unrestrained temperament and did not stick to trivial matters. When he heard this, he turned around and stared at him, and then laughed:
"If I could become stronger, you wouldn't have to work so hard."
Feng Boping shook his head slightly, with an indifferent expression: "It's just three years of hard work, nothing worth mentioning."
Li Hao glanced at him and said nothing.
The old man and the young man drank quietly, looking at the snowy scene. Although there were fewer people in the yard, it became more peaceful.
In order to cope with the arrival of the Wanshan Demon King, Li Hao and Feng Lao made some preparations and secretly laid many hidden clues outside Tianmen Pass.
Both are good at fishing and are waiting for the other's arrival.
As for whether they can match it, it all depends on how many fish are caught and how big they are.
If the thread breaks, it's time to discard it.
Another half month passed in the blink of an eye.
Li Hao sat on the top of the mountain, bathing in the cold wind.
The wind seems to be particularly strong and cold today.
Li Hao sat quietly, and the little white fox had shrunk into his arms.
With Li Hao's physique, he naturally didn't care about the cold wind. He watched the cold wind carrying countless falling snow, falling from the sky. In his field of vision, countless snowflakes rolled, drifted, and fell among all things.
Suddenly, a feeling of bliss came over me.
The accumulated thinking and precipitation for many days, as well as the spiritual light that hit the door of my heart many times, suddenly broke through the last wall of my heart at this moment.
Li Hao had an epiphany.
He suddenly understood what he was searching for.
I also suddenly understood what everything in this vast world has in common.
——It’s one breath!
Mountains, rivers, birds, beasts, and all creatures are all moved by this breath!
The same is true for warrior practice.
Mortals live by this breath.
A warrior relies on his energy to move through the main channels and exert force.
The seven emotions and six desires are all one breath.
All things grow in one breath!
But this breath is not the breath that ordinary people understand, it is the breath of heaven and earth!
This breath can evolve all things, nourish all things, turn into mountains, rivers, birds and beasts, and turn into life in the world!
Li Hao closed his eyes, and the breath all over his body was rapidly shrinking, transforming, and blending with the heaven and earth.
It feels very similar to spiritual practice, but not the same.
The energy in his body blended with heaven and earth, and all dissipated. Under the condensation of heaven and earth, he transformed, like the lead being washed away, blooming with a dazzling luster.
This luster is ethereal and illusory, as if it does not exist in the real world.
Li Hao donated all his strength to the world, and then asked the world to borrow a breath and integrate it into himself.
Li Hao called this breath Immortal Qi.
The grandmaster's limit, the land fairyland, is achieved!
