Save the Bachelor of Heaven

   Chapter 2872 2874 [People are in the rivers and lakes, can't help themselves]

  When Xiang Nan opened his eyes again, he saw that he was in a water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

   Surrounded by rolling mountains, bamboo forests, and green lakes, the scenery is infinite.

   And he himself was leading a white horse, walking slowly on the wet bluestone road.

  The huge building in front of her is the Xiongyuan Escort Bureau passed down by Yu Xiulian's family.

  Li Mubai came here this time to understand a wish, that is to express his feelings to Yu Xiulian.

  When he practiced in seclusion, he had already reached a quite mysterious state.

  Time and space do not exist, only boundless silence and light remain.

  If he is in the world of Xianxia, ​​with his state, he should be able to achieve Taoism and become a fairy.

  But this is just the world of martial arts, Li Mubai can't cultivate his gods to repay his emptiness, achieve Taoism and become a fairy, and he can only die if he continues to retreat.

   And Li Mubai still has three major wishes that he can't give up, one is his love with Yu Xiulian; the other is the hatred of the blue-eyed fox;

  He can't be utterly detached, detached and detached. Therefore, I decided to relapse and go out to fulfill these three wishes.

   Confessing your heart to Yu Xiulian is the first wish.

  He and Yu Xiulian had mutual affection, and it was because of Meng Sizhao that they set limits on themselves and dared not take a step beyond the threshold.

  As a modern person, I will not understand their approach.

   But Xiang Nan knew that literary inquisition was repeated in the Qing Dynasty, and he vigorously praised Cheng Zhu Neo Confucianism, which led to the imprisonment of the people's thoughts, and believed in the principles of Confucianism.

   As a result, although Li Mubai and Yu Xiulian are knights, they are also trapped by the suffocating worldly etiquette, and it is rare to be at ease.

  …

   "Yo, Master Li is here~"

   "Master Li, you are auspicious~"

  When the heads of the Xiongyuan Escort saw Xiang Nan coming with a horse, they all stepped forward to salute.

  Xiang Nan bowed his hands and thanked them one by one, then handed over the horse to his servants, and walked into Xiongyuan Escort Bureau.

   "Xiulian, Xiulian, and Li Mubai are here~" When the servant Wu Ma saw Xiang Nan, she immediately ran to the backyard happily and called Yu Xiulian to come to see the guest.

  Li Mubai and Yu Xiulian have known each other for more than ten years. Although the two have kept their courtesy and never exceeded the rules, in fact, people in the world have long known their relationship.

  The only difference is that layer of window paper.

  Xiang Nan was let into the lobby, and before he could sit down, he saw a beautiful woman with heroic brows coming out to greet him.

  When she saw Xiang Nan, her eyes were full of enthusiasm, her lips were slightly parted, and she seemed to have infinite words to say. But in the end, he just cupped his hands, "Brother Mu Bai, long time no see."

   "Long time no see." Xiang Nan nodded, "How are you?"

   "Okay." Yu Xiulian was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "At the beginning of the year, Daoyuan Master passed by from Wudang Mountain and said that you were practicing in seclusion."

   "Yes." Xiang Nan responded.

   "It's quiet on the mountain. Sometimes I really envy you. I can't be quiet just because I'm busy with the **** business." Yu Xiulian laughed.

   "I can't calm down either." Xiang Nan sighed, "So I broke the precept and left the customs early."

   "Why?" Yu Xiulian was very surprised, "The Taoist said that this retreat is very important to you."

  Wudang school is a Taoist school, which pays attention to refining the spirit to return the emptiness, attaining liberation from the Tao, and eternal silence. Li Mubai's retreat practice this time is to seek the final relief.

"During this meditation retreat, I once entered a deep silence. There was only light around me, and time and space did not exist. I seemed to have touched... a situation that Master never pointed out." Xiang Nan explained road.

   "Have you attained the Tao?" Yu Xiulian asked in surprise.

"I don't have this feeling. Because I don't have the joy of attaining enlightenment. On the contrary... I am surrounded by a kind of sorrow of extinction. This sorrow exceeds the limit I can bear. I am out of samadhi and can't continue." Xiang Nan waved his hand, "There are some things...I need to think about it."

   "What's the matter?" Yu Xiulian asked curiously, her heart moved.

   "Some things that I can't let go of." Xiang Nan looked at Yu Xiulian and said, his eyes were a little hot.

  Yu Xiulian was a little ashamed and lowered her head subconsciously.

   "Actually, to seek the Tao is to ask the heart. Follow the heart and let nature take its course, and you have obtained the Tao." Xiang Nan said again, "Xiulian, people must live sincerely."

  Yu Xiulian's face was calm, but her heart was so touched that she had no time to react.

  She never thought that Li Mubai would say these words to her. Before that, he had been pursuing the path of liberation and eternal death. If he had said these words earlier, I am afraid that they would not have had to delay so many years of youth.

  …

   Seeing Yu Xiulian's expressionless face, Xiang Nan thought she still had scruples, so he didn't dare to be presumptuous anymore, so he took the initiative to change the subject and said, "Are you going out?"

   "Ah?! Yes." Yu Xiulian came to her senses, nodded quickly and said, "Go to the capital."

   "It's just right, let's go on the road together." Xiang Nan nodded and said, "I just want to go to the capital too, and I want to give the Qing Ming Sword to Lord Baylor."

   "Exchanging swords?!" Yu Xiulian was taken aback, "This is your personal sword, and it has followed you through life and death for so many years. Besides you, who else in the world deserves to wield this sword?"

  Although the Wudang sect does not have the ancestral motto that the sword is with the people, and the sword is dead with the people. But it is also extremely unusual for a knight to hand over the sword on which he is famous.

   "The sword is trouble, the sword is grievance, it's time to quit." Xiang Nan explained.

   "Exit?!" Yu Xiulian was a little surprised.

   "People can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes. If you quit, you will be more at ease." Xiang Nan looked at Yu Xiulian and said.

  He will be bound by the rules of the rivers and lakes every day he is in the rivers and lakes. On the contrary, he withdrew from the arena and didn't care about world affairs, but lived more comfortably.

   At that time, when he and Yu Xiulian are together, he won't be afraid of people in the Jianghu chewing their tongues.

  Yu Xiulian couldn't help being both surprised and happy when she saw what Xiang Nan said.

  The reason why they are not together these years is really influenced by secular vision and ethics.

  If you can withdraw from the rivers and lakes, you can indeed reduce your troubles.

   And Xiang Nan would rather quit the arena, give up his career, fame and fortune, and leave behind his grudges, but also to be with her, which really moved her too much.

   "Yes." Yu Xiulian nodded heavily.

  …

  At noon that day, the dart team set off.

  Xiang Nan rode a horse and accompanied him all the way.

   "Okay, with the elder sister and Master Li walking the darts together, our dart trip will go smoothly."

   "There's nothing to say. With Eldest Sister and Master Li here, which blind little thief dares to make trouble?"

   "Those little thieves along the road, when they heard Master Li's name, they were so scared that they moved overnight."

   All the bodyguards said with a smile.

   "You should still be careful." Seeing that they were getting carried away, Yu Xiulian quickly reminded, "There is a sky beyond the sky, and there are people beyond people. Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case."

  Xiang Nan smiled, but didn't speak.

  The universe of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is not a world of high martial arts. Li Mubai, Yu Xiulian, and Yu Jiaolong are considered to be top experts, but the competition is still limited to moves, and there is basically no internal strength and external release.

  However, Li Mubai and Yu Jiaolong's qinggong is quite good. Not only can jump beyond 5 zhang, but also able to ascend the pinnacle to cross the water, this point even Xu Zhu and Duan Yu can't do it.

  Thus, on the whole, the force value of this universe is not too high, not much different from "Swordsman" and "Yi Tian Tu Long Ji".

  With Xiang Nan's martial arts, it's no problem to level up.
