Chapter 33: The Origin of Confucianism and Taoism
"Cough...cough...Chen...Junior Brother Chen, please...please let me go!" At this moment, Zhang Mu's breath was extremely weak. When he coughed, blood was spurted out of his mouth.
Chen Rui looked at him with cold eyes, then slowly squatted down and whispered: "Do you think Chen came to you just for the last time?"
Zhang Mu's face was confused. Because he was too seriously injured, his pupils were dissipated. He said with difficulty: "What...what?"
Chen Rui said: "Heifeng Village, books!"
After the words came to an end, Zhang Mu was extremely shocked and was excited and coughed violently.
"You will definitely die today. The difference is that as long as you are willing to tell the truth, you will suffer less pain!" Chen Rui felt a cold murderous intent all over his body.
Zhang Mu's face was extremely pale, and cold sweat kept coming out of his forehead, as if he was thinking about something.
Chen Rui did not hesitate, and made a quick move, grabbed Zhang Mu's arm, and pulled it hard.
"No!" Zhang Mu roared.
Unfortunately, it was too late, and Zhang Mu's left hand was torn off, and blood donation surged in an instant.
"Don't you want to say it yet? Then this time it's left foot or right hand?" Chen Rui's face was expressionless and his voice was cold.
"I...I said!" Zhang Mu shouted at the top of his lungs. He knew that he was not alive. Judging from the situation, Chen Rui would not let him go no matter what. Instead of being tortured to death, it would be better to have a happy time.
He roared in his heart: "Su Wuxi, if you don't save me when you die, I'm not going to blame."
"Chen Rui, this matter had nothing to do with me, it was asked by Senior Brother Su to do it." Zhang Mu said.
Chen Rui was shocked. The one who could make Zhang Mu call Senior Brother Su was no one else in the inner sect except Su Wuxi. Although he was surprised, his expression did not change and he said, "Continue."
Zhang Mu said: "At that time, I was practicing the black armor technique, and I had no right close-fitting magic weapon. Senior Brother Su found me and gave me a pair of top-grade spiritual weapon gloves, the price was to ask me to help him do something."
"He asked me to find a book scattered in the mundane world for him and gave me a rough place. Of course, after the matter was completed, he asked all the insiders except me to die."
Chen Rui said: "So, you drove Heifeng Village to do your business?"
"This is a coincidence. Since I often stay in the Trial Pavilion, the inner disciples are familiar with me. Although they are not a friend of life and death, ordinary ways cannot defeat me. Su Wuxi will look for me, probably because of this. At that time, a junior brother happened to return from the trial and told me about the bandits in the Black Wind Village. The bandit leader actually had a level of cultivation in the Condensation of Qi."
"So, I took some time to go to Heifeng Village, and soon surrendered them and asked them to start searching for books."
Chen Rui knew that the Heifeng Village's actions made a 180-degree turn next.
They began to massacre villagers from various villages, and then gathered the books from each village one by one after another.
"What kind of book are you looking for?" Chen Rui asked.
"I also asked Su Wuxi at that time. He just said that this book is related to Confucianism, and the book is called "Tracing the Origin of Confucianism and Taoism". I don't know the content."
"Have you found this book?" Chen Rui continued to ask.
"I have been to Heifeng Village once in the middle and read the books they collected one by one, but there is no book that Senior Brother Su wants."
"How much do you know about Taohua Village?"
Zhang Mu said: "What? Do you know about Taohua Village?"
Chen Rui said coldly: "You have said too much, answer the questions."
"That was the time when Deng Tong reported to me about Taohua Village, and I had also been to the scene at that time. According to my judgment, it was not done by the bandits, and most of it was not done by the monks." Zhang Mu said.
"Oh! How do you say this?" Chen Rui was secretly surprised.
"That's just my guess. It's more like a crime than a monk."
Listening to Zhang Mu's words, Chen Rui was shocked again. It turned out that there was still so-called "evil spirits" in this world.
"What you said is true?" Chen Rui couldn't help asking.
In fact, Chen Rui basically believed what Zhang Mu said, because based on Zhang Mu's background alone, even if he knew that "Tracing the Origin of Confucianism and Taoism" existed, he might not know its specific location.
It would be different if Su Wuxi was a member of the Central Plains of Su Jun, who was a Confucian sect.
Regardless of identity and background, it matches it.
"You have to judge whether it is true or not. Even if you don't kill me this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive because of my serious injury. Why do you have to lie and deceive others? Besides, it's not even more interesting to bring a troubled enemy to Su Wuxi? Hahaha." Zhang Mu knew that he was not far from death and began to laugh wildly.
"But did you deal with Su Wuxi? Did you deal with Suman? Hahaha!"
Chen Rui was silent.
Suddenly, Chen Rui raised his sword and cut off Zhang Mu's head.
Zhang Mu's crazy laughter also came to an abrupt end.
At this moment, Chen Rui's mood was not at all excited, but instead became depressed.
He still had no clue about the truth about the demise of Taohua Village and the life and death of his parents.
Chen Rui flashed and left the Cultivation Exchange Center
After this battle, he finally gained a place in the Holy Sword Sect.
In the cave, Chen Rui flashed in. The moment the cave gate was closed, a large mouthful of blood suddenly spewed out, his whole body tilted, and he fell to the ground and fainted.
Zhang Mu's combat power is not false, it is indeed quite powerful.
The fighting between Chen Rui and Zhang Mu was so fierce that the other party's last fist light had already touched Chen Rui's body. At that time, all the internal organs were rolling violently. In this state, he used the only sword technique he had learned in the Liuyun Sword Sutra, the starting style.
That swordsmanship had drained all his strength and completely damaged Zhang Mu.
Later, in order to intimidate those inner disciples who were ready to move, he suppressed the injuries in his body and forced a breath of true energy, and used the power of cultivation to spread the injuries, which made the injury worse.
In order to learn the truth from Zhang Mu, he could only suppress his injuries.
Therefore, the moment he returned to the cave, the damage in his body erupted and he fainted.
This coma lasted for two days. Two days later, he opened his eyes and stinged all over his body, and even getting up was extremely difficult.
He struggled to get up, and while panting, he murmured to himself: "I'm careless this time, it seems that I'm not strong enough."
Time flies for several days, and Chen Rui does not leave the cave. He does not deliberately heal his wounds, but just thinks carefully about the affairs of Taohua Village.
His eyes had no focus, and he was extremely confused, irritable and depressed.
Suddenly, he felt that he was very lonely. Although the world was big, he had no place to return.
All kinds of thoughts suddenly passed by his mind.
"Heaven and earth are unkind, and they regard all things as straw dogs. No matter what happens on the earth, they always care about their black and white alternation, the sun and moon reincarnation, and they are unbiased! Cultivate, cultivate the truth! In the affairs of Taohua Village, you must find the real answer. Are evil spirits? There is always a chance to meet them."
"From now on, I will not practice Taoism, I will not practice immortality, but only practice truth. I must observe the world with my own heart. This is my path to practice."
"Now Zhang Mu is dead, only the mastermind behind the scenes is Su Wuxi. This person has a deep grudge with me. This general account must be completely settled."
As he continued to think, Chen Rui's eyes gradually began to show his spirit, and it became brighter and brighter. He wanted to become even stronger!
