Chapter 977 Why Do You Care?
At two quarter past midnight, Wei Changtian walked out of the hall.
It actually only took him a quarter of an hour from the time he went in to the time he came out.
But in just this quarter of an hour, the huge palace was submerged by the heavy rain, as if it had fallen into a black ocean.
"Sir."
Li Zimu lowered his head, and, already soaked by the rain, took a step forward and asked softly, "Is everything going well?"
"Um."
Wei Changtian turned his head and looked at her. He didn't ask her why she didn't find a place to shelter from the rain. He just casually stimulated a gentle internal force.
The next moment, a warm feeling enveloped Li Zimu, and the rain on the latter's dress instantly turned into wisps of water vapor.
An invisible air wall blocked the two of them, like an umbrella blocking the heavy rain.
As Wei Changtian walked down the long steps, he said calmly, "I will give you half of the sword manual tomorrow."
"Re-paint forty-three copies of the sword manual and hand them over to the people in the palace in three days."
"Yes, I understand."
Following closely behind Wei Changtian, Li Zimu's answer was a little slow amid the sound of rain.
After hesitating for a while and a few breaths, she continued to ask:
"Sir, is this really the Moon-Picking Sword?"
"yes."
Wei Changtian looked straight ahead and said, "You think I shouldn't do this?"
"I dare not."
Li Zimu said in a very light voice: "It's just that I remember that the young master once said that this sword would cause the person who practices it to go astray."
"Yes, it will indeed lead to obsession."
Wei Changtian's tone remained unchanged: "You may even be like my grandfather, completely controlled by the inner demons."
"That"
"Are you trying to say that this kind of swordsmanship will bring disaster to the world?"
Before Li Zimu could ask, Wei Changtian asked back: "So I should hide this evil, or at least not use it to make deals with others?"
".I dare not."
Pinching the corner of his clothes, Li Zimu said these four words again.
Although he still sounded firm, Wei Changtian could still detect a hint of hesitation that could not be concealed.
It is obvious that Li Zimu has a kind heart.
Just like Chu Xianping who was determined to hunt down the person who learned the Moon-Picking Sword, she also didn't want to see such a sword technique with endless harm spread and turn all the warriors in the world into uncontrollable "monsters".
Of course, compared to being loyal to oneself, this kindness is not that "important".
That's why Li Zimu didn't stop himself.
But this does not mean that she completely agrees with this "selfish" approach.
Yes, from the perspective of the fate of the entire human race, Wei Changtian's behavior was undoubtedly selfish as he released the Tiaoyue Sword, which had obvious disadvantages, for some purpose.
But "Now the whole world is staring at me and the Tiaoyue Sword."
After glancing at Li Zimu, Wei Changtian stepped down the last stone step and said, "If I don't give it to them, what do you think they will do?"
“.”
Faced with this simple question, Li Zimu did not answer.
Wei Changtian smiled and continued:
"So, instead of waiting for them to snatch it or threaten me, I might as well take it out on my own initiative."
"By the way, I can also get so many powerful forces to help me, why not do it?"
My feet stepped into a pool of water, which caused ripples on the surface and were soon broken up by raindrops as big as beans.
"As for what the world will become because of the Moon-lifting Sword."
"I can't control it, and I don't have the ability to control it."
"Or rather, why should I care?"
"I didn't force anyone to practice the Moon-Picking Sword. The disadvantages of swordsmanship are not hidden. You will feel it once you practice it."
"So if someone really got the complete sword manual and became obsessed with it, then he can only blame himself for not being able to resist the temptation."
"Just like Old Zhang and my grandfather."
"Each of them would rather destroy their own cultivation than be controlled by the inner demon."
"One who clearly knew the consequences long ago, but still insisted on going to the end."
"The sword technique is the same, but the path is chosen by each person."
Walking in the pouring rain, Wei Changtian's voice sounded a little cold.
Li Zimu certainly understood what he meant, and also knew that this was not sophistry or an attempt to evade responsibility, but did make sense.
But "most people can't resist such temptation"
Li Zimu lowered his head and said what he was thinking: "After all, this is the only way to break through the realm at the moment."
"I couldn't resist the temptation, so what? So I have to be responsible for their choices? Even at the cost of putting myself in danger?"
Wei Changtian shook his head: "If it were Xiao Feng and Chu Xianping, they might really do the same."
"But I'm not that noble."
"Okay, that's it."
Go through a small door and walk out of the high vermilion wall.
With the sound of another thunder, the conversation ended.
Looking at Wei Changtian's profile, Li Zimu said nothing more.
Although Wei Changtian had never told her what Chu Xianping was doing, she had already vaguely guessed the truth based on the words just now.
He glanced at the rolling dark clouds in the night sky and lowered his eyes.
The figures of the two people slowly disappeared in the rain along the palace wall. The sporadic flames in the distance swayed and struggled in the strong wind, but they never went out.
"Sir, this is the complete Moon-Stirring Sword Manual."
The cave with burning torches was dark and damp, and the voice of the man in black was mixed with excitement that was difficult to conceal.
He handed a sword manual to a man who was sitting on a bluestone with his eyes closed.
The latter was Chu Xianping, whom Wei Changtian was willing to pay a sky-high price to find.
"Yeah, well done."
He slowly opened his eyes, took the sword manual and flipped through it, then Chu Xianping said softly, "Kill him."
"Yes! I'll do it right away!"
“.”
Upon hearing this, the man in black immediately walked into the depths of the cave, and soon the sound of swords piercing flesh could be heard.
Still sitting on the stone, Chu Xianping ignored the voices. Beside him lay a monkey with a white head, red feet and sharp fangs.
This ape looked to be about the same size as an adult, but much more terrifying than ordinary apes, especially its pupil-less eyes, which looked particularly creepy.
And the most important thing is that it just lay there, but the man in black never even looked over here.
It's as if it doesn't exist.
Of course, such a big monkey is definitely not an illusion.
As for why it was not seen by the man, it was undoubtedly because it was also a divine beast of fortune, and its owner was not the former. "Classic of Mountains and Seas: Western Mountains": "Four hundred miles west is Xiaoci Mountain, on which there is much white jade, and below which there is much red copper. There is a beast, which looks like an ape, but has a white head and red feet. It is called Zhuyan. When it is seen, a large army will be launched.
The mythical beast Zhuyan.
“Almost.”
After wiping the blood off the sword manual in his hand, Chu Xianping sighed to himself, then stood up and walked to the cave entrance.
It was pitch black outside the cave. Apart from dense trees and weeds, and the stars and the moon in the sky, there was nothing else to see.
Where is this cave? How long did Chu Xianping stay here? These are still unknown.
However, it is not difficult to judge from the scene just now that his gains this time are far more than expected.
Not only did they capture the man, but they also forced him to reveal all of his Tiao Yue sword moves.
He even seized a portion of Heaven's destiny.
If Wei Changtian had a "latest" list of Sons of Heaven at this moment, he would be surprised to find that the second place has been replaced . Yes, Chu Xianping did come from afar and took great risks to hunt down those Kuilong people who had practiced the Moon-Picking Sword.
But his purpose was not just to prevent such a sword technique from bringing disaster to the world.
It is obvious that Chu Xianping also wants to get the sword manual of Tiao Yue Sword.
As for what he is going to do with this, that is not something that ordinary people can guess.
Maybe you want to trade with others in exchange for something.
It may be used as a bargaining chip to improve his status among Kuilong.
Even practicing on your own is not impossible.
Of course, with Chu Xianping's intelligence, he would not put himself in a situation where he could go astray at any time.
But who can say for sure about such things? "Huh!!"
A mountain breeze blew, and rolling dark clouds pressed over from the east, quickly swallowing up all the stars in the sky.
