Great Xuanwu Sheng

Chapter 205 Clear One’s Mind

 After training Chen Yue, Chen Mu went to Hongyu's courtyard. Xu Hongyu's courtyard was a little livelier than usual. Many little maids were busy, and some were chattering about something.

 After seeing Chen Mu coming, everyone hurriedly bowed and saluted.

 “My uncle is here.”

Xiao He walked out of the inner courtyard, wearing green clothes. She bowed obediently to Chen Mu and then said with a smile: "Miss went east to see my grandmother, and she happened to be away. But I am waiting to measure your body and make a custom order for you in the next two days." Where’s Ji Fu?”

Xu Hongyu was not a girl from an ordinary commoner's family, not to mention Chen Mu's status. All preparations for the wedding ceremony were started more than a month in advance, including the new wedding dress, which was naturally sewn with the best silk and satin. Even though today's Yu County is not as grand as before, Yan Jingqing has to be the master of ceremonies, so he must be decent enough.

"good."

Chen Mu smiled at Xiao He.

In fact, Xiao He wouldn't be wrong about his body shape just by visual inspection. What's more, he is a warrior in the five internal organs realm. It is very easy to change his body shape to a certain extent. It doesn't matter whether he is bigger or smaller. However, this wedding Regardless of whether it is Xu Hongyu or Xiaohe, Yi attaches great importance to it and cannot take it any more seriously. Naturally, all details must be pursued to the end.

Chen Mu himself didn't pay too much attention to these things. Following Xiao He's measurements, he asked about many things that had happened during his more than a month of retreat, such as what happened between the Supervision Department and Xuanji Pavilion due to some problems in the city. There were a few small-scale conflicts, but they did not escalate. And since he had resigned as the Supervisor, these trivial matters naturally no longer bothered him.

 “Aunt, uncle…”

While Chen Mu was carefully measuring Xiaohe all the way to his waist, a blush suddenly appeared on his face, his voice could not help but tremble slightly, and he looked at Chen Mu with a pair of delicate eyes like water.

 Chen Mu didn't do anything excessive. He just put his hand there, carefully feeling the energy and blood in her body, and said: "You have finally mastered Yi Jin."

Xiao He's progress in martial arts is much slower than Xu Hongyu's. On the one hand, her martial arts foundation is indeed not as good as Xu Hongyu's. On the other hand, her resources are not as good as Xu Hongyu's. Finally, as Xu Hongyu's maid, she has many trivial matters in her daily life. Basically, she had to worry so that Xu Hongyu didn't have to be **** in trivial matters, which naturally delayed her practice.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　.

Xiaohe responded with a slight tremble, her body feeling a little weak.

As a master of Yijin, she is naturally not a weak little maid, but in her heart she really wishes that Chen Mu could be more 'excessive', take off her clothes and whip her hard, but she knows that it is not the time yet, so she dare not go in He didn't dare to retreat, so he was half ashamed and half confused and didn't dare to move.

However, Chen Mu did not make any other unnecessary moves. He seemed to just pinch his bones to feel her energy and strength, and quickly put down his hand, which also made her feel a little relieved. She told Chen Mu not to mention that she could not be promoted. The slightest thought of resistance was that she was very willing to do so, but she couldn't do it before the lady had passed through the door... Then she didn't know how to see the lady.

Chen Mu couldn't help but smile softly as he watched Xiao He continue to measure him honestly. Naturally, he had never had any concept of dignity in his heart. On the contrary, he had admired Xiao He's bravery a long time ago. , although in terms of excellence, looking at the whole Yucheng, there are many women who can compare with her, but after all, she is only a small maid.

Being able to advise Xu Hongyu when she was the chief messenger, she was personally busy on the front line with many matters, helping Xu Hongyu sort out and handle all kinds of complicated matters one by one. For a maid, she can no longer ask for more. .

Now.

Even though she had thought about some things about Chunwei so many times in her heart, she became misty and weak at the slightest touch from him, but because of Xu Hongyu, she still managed to endure it, which made him appreciate her even more, the bed-warming girl. Naturally, I have to line up behind the lady to warm the bed.

There are many, many women in the world who are better than Xiao He. Even Xu Hongyu, who has almost flawless figure and appearance, and has both family and talents. Looking at the world, there are also many, many, too many to count.

 But those have nothing to do with him.

Only the people in front of you are living and real.

Since he learned about the existence of martial arts will, Chen Mu has sometimes thought about what his own martial arts will is. Is it to protect the pure land in front of him, or to dominate the world and stir up troubles, or to reset the mountains and rivers and rebuild the world.

 But it seems that he has a little bit of everything, but none of it is so pure.

Including once rescuing the victims and rescuing the common people, it was not because he was so kind and had the heart of a saint, but simply because he couldn't stand those situations after he gained strength and status.

 He also killed countless people, wiping out the entire He family in one day, until Yucheng was filled with blood.

“Perhaps what I want most is to see that everything in this world is done according to my will.”

 Chen Mu looked at the sky outside the window.

Unconsciously, he seemed to gradually understand the direction of his will.

It’s not the ultimate state of martial arts, nor the peace of the world, nor the protection of a pure land around him...but everything is there. He wants everything he sees to be determined according to his wishes, and he wants his own To be able to carry out his will in this vast world without hindrance is the ambition hidden deep in his heart.

Perhaps this existed from the moment he came to this world, but it was covered up by the dark and dangerous bottom, the murderous outer city, and the various pressures he had always felt, allowing him to This thought was hidden in the deepest part of his heart, and he had never shown it to anyone, not even himself.

 Until now.

After carefully sorting out everything about himself, he seemed to finally understand what he really wanted.

 Everything in the world comes from your mind! This will, or rather this ambition, is too big, so big that it is a bit illusory, and it exceeds the concept of "promoting the world with swordsmanship", and the concept of "covering everything in the world, and having a panoramic view of beautiful women and property."

 Even compared to such grand aspirations as redefining the mountains and rivers, rebuilding the universe, and bringing peace to the world, it is much more difficult.

 After all, even if he aspires to the realm of blood exchange and becomes the sword master in the world, he still cannot make everything in the world go according to his heart.

 “My ambition is too big.”

 Chen Mu sighed in his heart.

Even he himself felt that his ambition was too great and too far away, but he could not deceive himself.

When he dug out this idea buried at the bottom from the depths of his heart, he could no longer bury it again. This was what his heart really wanted and the will he pursued. .

It doesn’t matter.

 Since this is what he thinks in his heart, then this is what his heart will be from now on.

Although he is still insignificant in the face of the vast world, he has left Yu County. His name is also spread throughout the eleven states of Hanbei Dao. He is no longer the little servant who worries day and night. Even though he is ambitious, It is bigger than the sky, but there will eventually be a ladder in this world that leads all the way to the sky.

 All he needs is to move forward with a knife and step by step as he did in the past.

What he needs is to look straight into his heart, no longer questioning, no longer hiding, no longer avoiding.

this moment.

Chen Mu felt that some kind of silent change had quietly occurred in his mind. It seemed that it was more firm and condensed than before.

The power of heaven and earth that can be mobilized by the four artistic conceptions of Xunfeng, Zhenlei, Lihuo and Genshan, the heaviness and oppression seemed to suddenly become much easier at this time. It seemed that he did not need to do what he did in the past. , it takes concentration of will to mobilize the power of heaven and earth and the power of artistic conception, but only one thought can mobilize it.

 “To condense the will of martial arts, one must first rectify his mind and clarify his aspirations.”

 Chen Mu thought of the few descriptions of martial arts will in the Daxuan Martial Arts Code.

Only by first rectifying your own heart, facing your heart's direction, and no longer wavering, can you initially possess your own martial arts will... This step may seem simple, but it is not easy, because different people have different hearts. Some people's desires are even to listen to music and play with butterflies in their dreams, but they often dare not face it and cover up and avoid it.

Such a will is still a will, but if you want to put it right and unwavering, it is definitely not something that ordinary people can do. What can be truly done and come to the end is no longer a sinking in lust. People who have fallen into the secular world have reached the state of the Great Joyful Buddha of the Buddhist sect, who is "empty of all forms and joyfully realizes the Dharma".

 At this time.

 Xiao He had already measured every detail of Chen Mu's body, and when he was looking at Chen Mu and wanted to say something, he suddenly froze and felt that something had suddenly changed as Chen Mu stood there.

But she couldn't tell what the specific change was. It wasn't blood, breath, or energy... It was more like an ethereal temperament. It seemed that the whole person suddenly became more real.

The dark light in those eyes seemed to be deeper.

 “What are you looking at me for?”

 Chen Mu's thoughts were condensed at this time, without any distracting thoughts. They converged immediately. Seeing Xiao He staring at him in a daze, he smiled and asked.

 “No, it’s nothing.”

Xiao He came back to his senses and said strangely: "It's just... I feel like my uncle has changed a little just now."

Snapped.

 Suddenly there was a clear sound.

 “Illusion!”

Chen Mu looked at Xiao He and said.

Xiao He's pretty face suddenly turned red, and she looked at Chen Mu with shame: "Uncle..."

 Chen Mu turned around laughing and walked out of the room, leaving Xiao He standing there with a blushing face. After a while, he ran to the side and wrote down the dimensions of Chen Mu's body that he just recorded on the paper one by one.
