Taiyi
Chapter 110 Taiyi
Li Wuxiang exhaled slowly. Judging from the expressions of Pan Muyun, Lu Renjia, and Helian Ji...
Zeng Jianqiu didn't tell them that his youth and life span had run out!
"Are you ready to sacrifice your life for the cause?"
Li Wuxiang had a bad idea in his mind - Zeng Jianqiu had been acting strangely when he was in Jinshui. He gave him the flying sword and left without saying goodbye. At that time, he felt that a cultivator who knew that his future cultivation was hopeless would be depressed even if he was an open-minded swordsman, but maybe he would come to his senses after a few days.
Even if Zeng Jianqiu couldn't make it up, he wanted to find a way to help him solve this problem.
But now, I'm afraid Zeng Jianqiu really wants to "sacrifice his life for the cause" - go deep into the dragon's den and rescue his guide, even if he can't rescue him...Does he think dying in battle is much better than dying of old age?
Li Wuxiang straightened up and said solemnly: "Brother Pan, count me in."
Pan Muyun nodded: "Old Zeng didn't make a mistake. But he didn't ask me to tell you."
"He said that you have a special background and are extremely talented. If you become a swordsman, you will not be comparable to us in the future. I have never seen him praise someone so much. When I came, I was a little skeptical." Pan Muyun smiled, "But when I saw you just now, a few words moved Cheng Peixin, and I know what he meant."
"Practice is not easy to say, but it is not difficult to say. The Sword Sect has had countless heroes for more than two thousand years, and they all fought with blood. This kind of words are said in a good way, and the bad ones are said. Most people who can be swordsmen are arrogant. Arrogant people... disdain to follow the secular world, and they have little insight and foresight."
Helian Ji shook the wine jar: "Hey, third brother, this is a good thing. I just don't like to hear that. Sword Master Xiao, Sword Master Cao, Sword Master Cui, which one can be considered a master of strategy, right? "
Pan Muyun shook his head: "Those three sword masters are indeed amazing people, but what about the others? If you ask me, when we look at the people of the Thirty-Six Sects and the Six Departments of the Mysterious Sect, we only think that they are scheming against each other and calculating with their fellow disciples, but it is in this way that it is easier to cultivate strategic talents... I'm talking too much. I'm just saying, Junior Brother Li, you have only been practicing for a short time, and this time it is very dangerous. I'm afraid that the two of us may not be able to come back. I'm not questioning your courage, but-"
"My flying sword belongs to Senior Brother Zeng." Li Wuxiang interrupted him, "When we were in Jinshui, Zhao Kui was possessed by evil, and he and I were bait and ambushed. He was the bait, and Zhao Kui sucked his life... his youth and life span were exhausted. I think he really wants to die for his faith this time."
The three people were stunned and looked at each other.
Li Wuxiang tightened the flying sword in his chest.
If he had known earlier that the Sword Sect was like this, and Zeng Jianqiu was like this, he would not have tied him up and used him to gain Zhao Kui's trust.
Zeng Jianqiu said at the beginning that he was also "evil-minded", now think about it, really... why did he use the "Five Mountains Treasure" to deceive himself at that time? His behavior is really different from other people in the Sword Sect.
"So I also had a part in his trouble. If you want to help him, I should be counted as one."
After a long while, Pan Muyun slowly exhaled: "No wonder... I also felt that he was not quite right at the time, it turned out to be because of this."
He lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his face to look at Li Wuxiang: "Junior Brother Li, if you must go, I can't stop you. But there are some things I still need to tell you."
"Turn to page 131 of the General's World Interpretation Collection, and I will tell you while you read."
Li Wuxiang took out the book and opened it again. From page 131 onwards, it talked about things in the Sword Sect. The light in the woods was dim, but it did not hinder his reading. He flipped through the pages quickly and finished four or five pages in no time.
It was known that the only person in power in the Sword Sect was not called "Sovereign Master", but "Cult Master", and was respectfully called "Cult Master of the Eastern Emperor Taiyi Sect". It seemed that they also considered themselves to be authentic and on par with the Six Sects of Mysterious Sects.
Below the Temporary Master, there were six "Sword Masters", who looked like the "elders" of the Six Sects of Mysterious Sects and the Thirty-Six Sects.
Below the Sword Master, there were six "Sword Masters". According to what was said in the book, Sword Master was a specific title for a position, and they managed a different number of "Sword Masters" under their command.
And "Sword Masters", according to the introduction in the book, should be the person who holds the power of law enforcement in the Sword Sect. Among the ten or so swordsmen in a region, there would be a Sword Master. If he heard that a swordsman was doing evil, the Sword Master would go to take care of it. If he heard that a swordsman was in trouble, he would also go to check.
"The trapped Senior Brother Lou is a swordsman. I just said that he can actually be considered Junior Brother Zeng's master. In fact, this is the case - we call each other brothers in the same sect, unlike other sects that emphasize seniority and inferiority, but we can also be considered to have factions. However, this faction is not a faction in the Six Departments of Xuanjiao or the Thirty-Six Sects that seeks power, but a heritage."
"In the True Immortal Body Dao Chapter and the Flying Immortal Sword Chapter, everyone's practice methods are somewhat different. Since Junior Brother Zeng taught you the method, you are actually from his lineage. Your lineage is good at practicing Qi and blood, breaking the method, which is considered the most authentic practice method of our sect. Others' practice methods are slightly different. For example, my lineage is good at breaking illusions, breaking delusion, and finding tricks."
"What I want to say is that in your lineage, except for the Plum Palm Sword, there are only three of you. This trip is dangerous, and we don't know if we can get Senior Brother Lou out. If not... Junior Brother Li, you must remember to protect yourself. Plum Palm Sword, there should be no more inheritance."
Li Wuxiang nodded: "I haven't practiced for a long time, but I don't lack ways to save my life."
Pan Muyun rubbed the sugar stains left by the raisins in his hands: "Okay. You should still have something to do at Feiyun Temple, so we will set off first. Senior Brother Helian and I need to get something on the way. You Senior Sister Lu also needs to go somewhere else to do some business first. After you finish handling the matter, come after us - we will go to Qingjiang City first and walk along Jinshui. We will be delayed for a day or two on the way, so you should. It's too late..."
Are these people leaving just as they say? Li Wuxiang hurriedly said: "Wait, Senior Brother Pan, I still have something to ask. I just don't understand. We swordsmen come and go in the world. Apart from doing chivalry and doing justice, what do we mainly do? What if I find a place to concentrate on practice? Woolen cloth?"
The three swordsmen looked at each other and suddenly laughed. Pan Muyun laughed twice: "Old Zeng didn't tell you? Did he only tell you that he was a chivalrous person? Haha, no, of course we didn't leave randomly. So, he didn't mention anything about You Jiuyuan to you?"
"Um."
"Hahaha, that's how you behave. Okay, then listen to me."
"The reason why we have to go back and forth in the rivers and lakes is actually to collect the geography of various places. There are very few places in the world where people are active, and there are more places that are uninhabited and have never been visited by anyone. We mainly go to these places. ——The mountains, rivers, terrain, forests, mineral resources, and rare birds and animals are all recorded. To be more specific, the location of a certain mountain, how many mountains there are, how many rivers flow from and where, these must be recorded. "
"For example, when your senior brother Zeng was near Deyang before, he actually spent most of his time in the mountains. On the way back and forth, passing through villages and towns, he would only take care of any injustices he saw, instead of going there specifically... Chivalrous. Naturally, it is the right thing to do when you encounter someone like you."
"So we don't stay in one place all the time. For example, we have been near the dojo of Zhenxing Cult in recent decades. When the things here are almost done, we will move to another place. The things you have written down are all I want to send him back to Youjiuyuan."
"Speaking of You Jiuyuan, your senior brother Zeng didn't tell you where he was, right?"
Li Wuxiang nodded: "Yes."
"The thing is like this. Many sects have a saying about outer disciples. The Sword Sect does not have such a saying, but there is such a thing. For example, before we came tonight, you were considered an outer disciple - someone introduced you to the sect, and you were You can’t say you are a swordsman even though you have taught him the law. You will be a swordsman when we meet you.”
"But I am a sword wielder, so I can only give you the identity of a swordsman. If you want to go to Youjiuyuan, you have to meet a swordsman. If that swordsman thinks you are suitable, then you can enter the gate of Youjiuyuan. I have seen you. If you hold the sword, then there is no problem with your character. But to go to Youjiuyuan, it depends not only on your character, but on what you do."
"We travel around, and sometimes we get some errands from You Jiuyuan. For example, your senior brother Zeng and a few of us got an errand a while ago, saying that we were going to Ranshan to find a movie called Guangchanzi. Daoshu, your senior brother Zeng has done this, and it’s also a loss for you. You can do this kind of errand or not. If you do it, you can get some benefits in exchange for the urgently needed medicinal materials, magic tools, gold and silver. And so on."
"If you go to see Zhang Jian, Zhang Jian will give you an errand to do. If it is done, the sword holder will know that there is nothing wrong with your character, and the sword holder will know that there is nothing wrong with your ability. Then No more problems.”
"——What if it doesn't work?"
"If you can't do it the first time, you can do it the second time. If you can't do it the second time, you can do the third time. If you have a good character and live a long time, there will be no big problems." Pan Muyun looked at him, "You don't need to think about this. You are here Ranshan killed Xu Daosheng, and everyone who knew about it felt very happy. You must have passed the test at Mei Zhangjian, but you haven't gone to see him after all, so I can't say much to you. "
Li Wuxiang nodded: "But why do we record the geography of mountains and rivers?"
"Well, everyone will ask this question, and there should be an answer, but we don't know. Perhaps only the leader of the world knows the answer, and the six mystical sects may not know it. However, what they know is that we want to If we want to do something, they will make it impossible for us.”
"Actually, you don't need to think about this matter. Remembering those things is what the sect asks us to do. But personally, we still need to practice. Taking errands, remembering things, and reporting to Youjiuyuan are all beneficial. Our Sword Sect There is a benefit in doing your part, unlike other sects that do things based on seniority and internal fighting, and it is also very worry-free. "
When Pan Muyun said this, he sighed: "But sometimes it's not as easy as I said. For example, this time Lou held the sword, he got an errand from Youjiuyuan, but this errand was difficult - to go to the real place The parish of Xingjiao recorded a mountain.”
"People from the sect don't often go to the diocese. This time we all felt it was strange. We were still guessing. We have thought for hundreds of years that the living Taiyi might be suppressed by the True Form Sect. Could it be that the sect felt that in that mountain? Is this what Senior Brother Lou received? He was on an errand, but he ended up being trapped by the True Form Sect's people. Thinking about it carefully, he must have felt that he was going to form an elixir and needed a lot of supplies, so he decided to take a risk. If he had known it was like this, we people. You can try to get it together for him.”
Li Wuxiang had heard Cheng Peixin mention the matter of Taiyi's suppression before. At that time, he only regarded it as speculation and rumors from outsiders, but now that it came out of Pan Muyun's mouth, he was stunned.
Pan Muyun saw his expression, smiled, and nodded: "Well, the first time I heard this, I was similar to you. But Taiyi was suppressed in the human world, in the mountain gate of one of the six Xuanjiao. But it's hard to say, maybe they took turns to suppress him. Before, you asked me why I recorded the geography of mountains and rivers, I guess it was related to suppressing Taiyi. Okay, is there anything else you want to ask?"
There is indeed one last one. It came from what he saw and heard these days-
"Brother Pan, there was a Ye Dynasty in the past, but why haven't there been other dynasties in the past three thousand years?"
The three of them were stunned, as if they didn't expect him to ask this.
Li Wuxiang thought about it for a while and understood their reaction.
There is only one Ye Dynasty in the world, and there will be no other dynasties in the future. People in this world don't think it's strange. Asking this question should be similar to asking others in the previous life, "Why are there so many dynasties in this world?"
Pan Muyun exhaled: "Old Zeng said you are different, and he is right. Few people would want to ask about this."
"This is also the means by which the Six Xuan Sects suppress Taiyi. You should know that Donghuang Taiyi was the emperor of the Ye Dynasty. His enlightenment was different from the other seven emperors in the Eight Xuan Sects. Although the other seven also achieved enlightenment in human form, they absorbed the fortune of heaven and earth - mountains, rivers and seas, sun and moon, while the Emperor Taiyi absorbed the fortune of humanity."
"Since he is suppressed, the Six Xuan Sects naturally cannot make the fortune of humanity too prosperous. So since the Ye Dynasty, there has been no second emperor. Within the diocese, all power belongs to the Six Xuan Sect, and no one dares to form a society. Outside the diocese, if there is any sign of it, the Six Xuan Sect will The sect must be extinguished at all costs, and naturally there will be no dynasties. "
"There is something you should have wanted to ask, but now you understand it, right? So Emperor Taiyi was suppressed at the beginning, but not wiped out by those people together - Taiyi fell, the destiny of humanity was cut off, and the six sects of Xuan would also be destroyed. Therefore, the world is like this now, the prosperity is far less than three thousand years ago, and the world is just hanging on by a thread. "
"Junior Brother Li, you understand, we are looking for Taiyi not because of the dispute between sects or orthodoxy, but for the people of the world and the destiny of humanity! "
It's still two in one, explaining some background settings, which is the old ginger slice in a dish, it doesn't taste good but it can't be missed!
