Chapter 71 – Temple, Ant, Pamphlet

Something that is not practiced by a human being does not mean that the …… person who practiced this thing is not a human being, it only means that this great Emperor Majesty of Qing Guo, for the longing of his heart, has refined an incomparably persevering heart that is far beyond the ordinary. Fan Xian sat by the bedside of the Four Gu Swords, thinking about this matter, could not help but feel a slight austerity in his heart, and it was difficult to suppress a feeling of looking up at a high mountain, although that mountain did not seem to be how clear and beautiful can be close to, but just Mi high and far away, stabbing straight between the white clouds, so that people had to be moved by it.

He took a deep breath, rubbed the corners of his eyes, said softly in a low voice: “On the talent, Haitang is enough, on the heart, Thirteen is enough, on the diligence, I don’t think I’m worse than anyone else, just to see now, I still can’t see the later have any chance of stepping out of that step, why is this? ”

“Don’t ask me.” Four Gu Swords slowly closed his tired eyes after that annoyed angry scolding, his voice was hoarse, and he said intermittently, “I was just thinking that after all of us old guys have died out, and there is only your Emperor’s old man left alone in this world, he must be lonely as well.”

After a moment of silence, Four Gu Swords suddenly continued with slight sarcasm, “I’m only afraid that on the Great Eastern Mountain, he has already begun to feel lonely.”

The faint sarcasm at the corners of his lips was not sure if it was directed at Emperor Qing or himself. Right at this moment, Fan Xian suddenly said extremely seriously, “I want to confirm one thing, Ye Liuyun …… did he really leave the continent?”

After pondering for a long time, Si Gu Jian slowly moved his jaw with great difficulty.

Fan Xian took a deep breath, then said, “It’s fine in that case.”

Si Gu Jian closed his eyes and spoke, “It seems that this time, back in Qing, you have finally known something and decided something.”

Fan Xian was not surprised that this Great Master was able to judge these emotions hidden in his heart from his own words and emotions; after all, the other party was not really an idiot, and smiled as he said, “If it’s not raining, you’ll have to bring your umbrella with you; it’s always good to be prepared.”

“What about Five Bamboo?” Si Gu Jian nailed the essence of the question at once.

Fan Xian did not answer him directly to this question and asked instead, “What do you know about the temple?”

As soon as these words came out, the Four Gu Swords’ knowledge of the whereabouts of the Five Bamboos became clear, and a rare peaceful smile appeared on his face as he said, “A divine temple? But it’s just a dead thing, don’t worry …… too much about it Even if the gongfu your emperor’s old man cultivated was passed down from the temple, so what? The divine temple will never personally step in to help him.”

Fan Xian wasn’t so sure about this; after all, many years ago, it seemed that the divine temple had listened to Emperor Qing’s prayers and sent a certain messenger to transfer Uncle Five Bamboo away from Kyoto. And now the five bamboo uncle went to the temple, in the end will wrestle to what kind of end, seems to be the world’s momentum, has the most fundamental and far-reaching impact.

Four Gu Jian closed his eyes, also seems to be able to feel Fan Xian deep inside the thick worries and shallow fear, silent for a long time and then said, “The temple …… is actually just a temple, and is not really a deity.”

Fan Xian’s heart stirred as he pursued, “You’ve been to the temple?”

“It’s not like I’m a pervert like Bitter Lotus or Sean, why would I go to a place like that where birds don’t shit?” Si Gu Jian’s brows wrinkled, obviously the thoughts in his heart didn’t match the tone of these words, “Besides …… I don’t know where the temple is.”

“Still.” He continued, “You have to think about one thing, if the temple really did come to remove any traces of your mother remaining in the world, then the inner vault should have long since disappeared, and you should be dead.”

Fan Xian was silent, thinking that this judgment was correct.

“Of course, we can also judge that the temple did send messengers to earth.” Si Gu Jian suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were calm, “But don’t forget that the wood, Five Bamboo, is also one of the temple’s emissaries, and since he was able to protect your mother and you, this can only mean that the emissaries that came from the temple are not as powerful as you think.”

Fan Xian raised an eyebrow, then thought of something Uncle Wu Zhu had once said many years ago.

“There aren’t many people left at home.”

Could this statement mean that the temple had fallen into defeat and didn’t have anything powerful enough to influence the world? Then why did Uncle Gojira go back? Of course, if this was really as he had guessed, Fan Xian would be happy to accept this situation, after all, facing an emperor’s old man who was like a high mountain had already made the pressure hard to bear, and then adding a god’s unfathomable heavenly temple would really undermine his confidence to the lowest point.

“Well …… you once sent Sean back to Northern Qi back then, your mother and Five Bamboos are both people who came out from the temple, don’t you want to go back to the temple to see what that place that pretends to be a god really looks like?” Si Gu Jian opened his eyes and looked at Fan Xian fixedly, as if he was trying to discern his true thoughts, but also as if it was a temptation.

Fan Xian was slightly stunned at these words, then smiled, looking back at him and saying, “If I have the chance, I’m still willing to go and see it, but that’s on the basis that my life can be safeguarded. On the contrary, you …… said such words at this time, I think you are very curious?”

The Four Gu Swords, as a human being’s supreme power, and the Five Bamboos were also acquaintances, and vaguely knew exactly where the power tier of the temple was, so for that imaginary and ethereal temple, it wasn’t like those mundane people in the world, who generally had a sense of awe and worship that welled up from the depths of their hearts.

He was a great master, his strength was strong enough to compete with the characters in that temple, so when he talked about the temple, his tone wasn’t very respectful, instead, there was a deliberate indifference and disdain that was revealed.

Just people have curiosity, Archmage is no exception, especially a dying Archmage, for everything in the world are indifferent, only for that temple, still maintain a curiosity and desire to pry.

After all, in this world, only Sean and Bitter Lotus had been to the temple, and these two old men had already died. Perhaps Ye Qingmei and Wuzhu came from the temple, but Ye Qingmei had also died, and Wuzhu had set out on the road home.

The secret of the Heaven’s Beyond Divine Temple remained the greatest secret in this world. Si Gu Jian looked at Fan Xian, a trace of a strange look hidden in the calmness of his gaze, and he knew that the only person who could know where the divine temple was nowadays should be this young man in front of him.

“I learned about it from Sean’s mouth, Uncle Wuzhu’s memory has always been bad, so I’m sure you know about it as well.” Fan Xian said softly, “The temple is in the extreme north, after passing through the Northern Qi Heavenly Pass, on the snowy tundra you will have to travel for several months until a place where it is dark all day and night, and if you are lucky, you will be able to see a magnificent and solemn black and blue colored building, that …… is the temple.”

Four Gu Jian fell silent. Before death comes, finally know where the temple is, he seems to get what he wants, should be calm, however, that thin body under the thick quilt, but obviously exudes a faint melancholy atmosphere.

“It turns out that in the extreme north, not seeing sunlight all day long, could it be the underworld of the netherworld?” Four Gu Jian’s eyes like an ancient well, slowly swinging pale fine lines, sighed: “Really is not a genus of the world, the heart is longing for it, the heart is longing for it.”

“Well ……,” Fan Xian squinted his eyes, looking at the withered face under the cotton blanket, suddenly found that some kind of luster gradually blossomed on that face, could it be that knowing the location of the temple made this dying great master, suddenly burst into some kind of obsession?

Fan Xian did not explain what extreme day and night were, these were not concepts that belonged to this world, so there was no need to say them to give people a headache. Since the Four Gu Swords were willing to think that the temple was not a genus of the world, perhaps such a perception would allow this Grand Master to retain a concept of this world.

“…… The heart yearns for it.” Four Gu Jian said in admiration, “Back then, I had thought that if the matter of the Great Eastern Mountain could be successfully concluded, I would travel to the ends of the earth to find the Divine Temple.”

“Everyone is curious about the unknown.” Fan Xian could well understand this emotion.

Si Gu Jian’s eyes narrowed slightly, piercing straight through the roof like a cold sword, and he said in a sandy voice, “I just want to see if, with this sword in my hand, I can tear down that broken temple.”

Demolish the temple!

After Fan Xian was stunned, countless complex emotions arose in his heart, he had thought that the Four Gu Swords was just like the Bitter Lotus Sean back then, willing to go to the temple beyond the sky, to fulfill the desire to explore the unknown that was in the origin of every life, but he had not thought that this great master, actually wanted to go to the temple to challenge the gods!

A sword behind his back, strolling in the snowy plains, encountering the green mountains, entering the thick door, pointing his sword at the temple of nothingness, and cutting down all the people in the clouds.

What kind of bravado is this? If the matter of the Great Eastern Mountain, really as bitter lotus and the four Gu sword design general, the world of the three sides of the world, the four Gu sword in this world will be tired of, I am afraid that will really go on the challenge of the way of heaven, and the way of heaven in this world is synonymous with, naturally, is the Temple of God.

Thinking of that scene, calm as Fan Xian, also can’t help but be slightly moved, only he knows, all this has ended with the emperor’s old man in the Great Eastern Mountain on the king’s fist, the end of the four Gu sword life, I’m afraid that can not arrive at the temple of the gods, and even more so, can not be the sword pointed to the temple of the gods.

This was indeed a pity.

“Will you go to the divine temple?” Four Gu Swords suddenly stared into Fan Xian’s eyes and asked.

“I don’t have any knowledge of divine temples, and naturally, I don’t have any great ill feelings.” Fan Xian did not know how many religions he had seen in his previous life with their shameless looks, in comparison, the temples in this world of Qing Guo, far beyond the nine heavens, rarely interfered in world affairs, a style that Fan Xian agreed with more, and because of its mysterious and unpredictable nature, Fan Xian really could not give birth to too many feelings of resistance either.

“The divine temple does not interfere in world affairs?” Si Gu Jian smiled and said, “Then how did your mother come out? How did this world change? Why is Emperor Qing the same as he is now? Maybe those high and mighty temple people are really just watching all this with cold eyes, but we grew up on this continent, so why should we let them watch us live?”

“This is a bad feeling.”

“It reminds me of many years ago, under the big green tree, watching those ants move and watching those ants fight.” Si Gu Jian said indifferently, “But I’m not an ant, I don’t like being watched.”

Fan Xian was silent for a long time before saying, “If one day in the future, I will go to the temple, I will carry your ashes on my back.”

Si Gu Jian closed his eyes and said, “Not many of the things your brat says are ever true.”

Fan Xian suddenly realized that this Great Master spoke like a child, and couldn’t help but laugh, “I’m not a world-killing god like you, I don’t have the courage or strength to slaughter gods, and I certainly don’t want to go to the temple to take my own life if I’m not forced to do so.”

After a slight pause, Fan Xian scratched his head and said, “Of course, who knows about the future? If there comes a day when I scatter your ashes on the stone steps of the temple to choke the feet of those immortals, it would be a fulfillment of your wish.”

Si Gu Jian said, “Then when you burn it some days from now, you can’t make the fire too hot, I don’t have many bones in my body to begin with, if they all burn to powder, what’s the point of choking them, you have to leave some big bones.”

Fan Xian responded, “That is indeed something to be aware of.”

Between life and death there was great fear, and in the midst of this fear, Si Gu Jian and Fan Xian were laughing and talking about the aftermath, the remains of the bones, the size of the fire, and where they belonged, the atmosphere was relaxed, yet Fan Xian could not help but give birth to an inexplicable feeling of sadness.

Twilight has sunk down most, sea breeze get city and over, clear brush thousands of miles, straight into the depths of the hut, caused the sword hut quiet room outside a wind movement, the big pit ten million branches of the sword at the same time and move, dingdang sound, people heart.

Four Gu Jian turned his head with great difficulty, his gaze swept over Fan Xian’s shoulder, looking at the corner of the wall that had reached the end of its life, unable to eat, refusing to fly away, persistent and idiotic long-legged mosquito, into a long silence.

Fan Xian sat by his side, suddenly leaned down and whispered the matter of the Ten Family Village in his ear. The Ten Family Village was located between Northern Qi and Eastern Yi, and if it really wanted to grow in the future, it would not be able to do so without the strong support of the Sword Lodge, and the existence of the Ten Family Village would inevitably bring great benefits to Eastern Yi City.

However, to Fan Xian’s surprise, after the Four Gu Swords heard that the Ye Family was preparing to open a second battlefield in Dong Yi City, his face remained stoic and unchanged, just staring at the corner, seemingly not caring at all about what would become of Dong Yi City after his death.

For a moment, Fan Xian thought that he had misjudged Si Gu Jian’s dying thoughts, what he had once taught himself, the most important thoughts.

Just then, Si Gu Jian spoke, “There is a pamphlet under my pillow, Bitter Lotus gave it to me from Castle Peak before he died, and entrusted me to pass it on to you, the things in the pamphlet are things I cannot read, and I hope that you can read them.”

Fan Xian was stunned, not knowing what exactly was written on that booklet that would cause two great masters to be so solemn before their deaths.
