The man waiting outside the mountain gate heard the child's words and turned his gaze back from the distant snow-covered mountain top. He held a bamboo pole about half a foot long in both hands. He was not in a hurry or annoyed. He turned his head and smiled. Looking past the child, he held the bamboo pole across his chest, calmly and naturally asked.
"What can I do if I look at you?"
The half-foot-long bamboo pole has hundreds of deep marks carved crookedly on it. The deepest one, almost from the beginning to the end, almost split the pole in two, which looks ordinary no matter how you look at it. It's a bit different, but the bamboo wood used to make the pole is of good quality. The pole is deeply scratched and cannot be used if it is replaced by the useless bamboo wood. What's more, this man has held this pole in his hands for many years, holding it with both hands. Everywhere is polished to a bright shine, which shows its age. The child was so arrogant and domineering in the back mountain of Sword Lin Sect. Before leaving, he did not forget to ask for a big favor. He asked to borrow a sword left by three great swordsmen of Lin Sect in ancient times. Whether he was forced by circumstances or wanted to establish some friendship with Wu Jue, Ji Qiu agreed without hesitation, which also put the child in a rare good mood. Therefore, when he went out, he deliberately teased this weird-looking man wearing a raincoat and holding a pole. .
But when the man lifted up the bamboo pole, the child immediately softened. His face, which had been calm and composed in the Sword Forest Sect, immediately became flattering. He laughed twice, turned over, jumped off the tortoise shell and came to the man, " I'm joking, I see that you are always looking at the mountains, so you are trying to make fun of me. You must not use this pole to beat the younger generation. You are tired in spring and autumn and want to wait outside. It will be very tiring. How about I carry this pole for you? , and the journey will be more brisk."
Among the Five Jue, except for Baili Ya, the master of the Spear and Halberd Way who had great bad luck, he was killed by Nanli Poison Master with deeper knowledge soon after joining the Five Jue. He almost didn't even get the name of the Five Jue to spread to the world. He was the Tao of Death. Disappear, these four people are the only ones who have been sitting firmly in the Five Absolutes for many years. After Poison Lord escaped from the Five Absolutes on his own, no new people have been added. These four people are still sitting firmly on the lotus platform, and their realms are naturally unpredictable. , but there are many differences in temperament and temperament. Wei Shang, who has a lot of witty words and is especially lively, has a friendship with the other three. Even if his cultivation is not very good among the five arts, he is better at knowing how to advance and retreat, and knowing how to calculate. They have different likes and dislikes, and Wei Shang can mediate any disputes.
Among the four, the Taoist who has lived in Jianwang Mountain for a long time is considered to be the top swordsman. Especially in recent years, his foundation has been damaged by Wu Shuang's sword that contains the foundation of the five realms thousands of miles away, so he has become increasingly rare. When he showed up, even though Shan Taorong had no time to clone himself and ordered the other three people to go to the territory of Dayuan, the Taoist still had not left Sword King Mountain and became increasingly taciturn, with no movement or news. Even so, the one with the most dull and boring temperament among the four is Tiao Nanshan.
The man was nameless and came from the barbarian land south of Nanli. In his early years, he was a porter who carried burdens for others. He lived in the mountains all year round with no relatives and no relatives. He barely relied on his innate brute strength to carry goods for the traveling merchants. The goods traveled through the mountains, and then for some reason, they obtained the practice method. After leaving the Nanshan Mountain where they could survive, they first stepped into the human world, then entered the practice path, and broke into several practice sects one after another. No one could stop them, and then they quickly and easily Quickly step into the five realms and be among the five absolutes.
But the man couldn't tell where the Nanshan Mountain was. It seemed that entering the world was a dead end road. When he stepped into Wujue, he tried to look back for that Nanshan Mountain, but there was no trace of it, so he came closer. Over the years, I have become increasingly depressed and often absent-minded.
"The Jianlin Sect has heard that the sword-crazy Taoist mentioned that there were great swordsmanship talents in ancient times. However, due to bad luck, they failed to leave a great reputation. The current Jianlin Sect has no hope of revival." Tiao Nanshan returned. God, frowning his eyebrows that have nothing to do with good looks, he looks down on the Sword Forest Sect in front of him. In his opinion, most of the immortal sects in the world are nothing more than mediocre people who only know sophistication. People, relying on the shadow left by the most beautiful sages in the mountain gate, are arrogant, look down on the world, and are afraid of people with advanced cultivation. They are not as conceited as a cultivator.
"It's not necessarily true. I think this young master of the Sword Forest Sect has the demeanor of a master in two ways. It's a skill to be able to control the mountain gate, and it's also a skill to be able to act aloof. He's very talented, and he may not be able to do anything after that. Even the one who seems to be dull The sword-carrying officer is also very advanced, and his qualifications may not be inferior to other great talents in the mountain gate who are eager to offer incense." Seeing that the man did not seriously want to take action, the child was relieved and slowly climbed back to the tortoise shell. The sun is shining brightly today, and every inch of money is shining everywhere. It is rare to relax and chat, "It is said that the cultivation of the five arts in the world has reached the top, so everyone should put on some airs in the eyes of others, and call them ancestors in a sanctimonious way." , but in fact, even the Poison Lord, who has an eccentric temperament, can hardly find any master posture in addition to his cold and weird temperament. On the contrary, the more empty his belly is, the so-called ancestor of the sect with inferior cultivation is a master of stinky posture. On the contrary, the accent is very impressive."
"It's harder to let go of useless pride than to hold on to it. It's harder to be arrogant and arrogant when you have the talent to achieve enlightenment. If this young sect leader fails, is it possible that we have to wait for those dying old men to sit in the five realms and become ancestors? "
Tiao Nanshan took a closer look at Wei Shang. The latter shook the two pigtails on the back of his head, enjoying the blessings of the sun and did not say a word to refute for a while.
Probably Wei Shang, who ranked last among the Five Ultimate Cultivation and Supernatural Powers, was able to rejuvenate his youth several times, not because of his talent and cultivation, but because of his transparent and ever-changing mind. At the end of the practice, whether the natural talent and meridians are broad or not may not necessarily influence whether one can break through the realm. However, if one's character is deficient and has not been perfected, he will not be able to sit on the lotus platform of the five realms, let alone transcend the five realms and sit on an equal footing with the mountains and waves.
The spring breeze passes through the mountains and forests, and the willow leaves wrap around my fingers.
"Laoshan is staying peacefully in his own Indigo Ping River. It's unreasonable to ask the two of us to go out and walk around the world. After this matter is over, we will go to ask for some benefits, let alone me. There is no orthodoxy with Laoshan, but you, Wei Shang, have an inherited orthodoxy. It is really difficult for you to go out and run around when your mind is so busy."
"I don't dare to say this. The last time I went back to Nangong Mountain to raise an army to investigate, I met the Poison Master and an unknown old woodcutter who intervened. Even the Seven Wonders of Buddhism were born in the world. In the end, I returned without success. This is considered Damn it, if I were Wu Shuang's descendant and planned to end his career, I would definitely spread the word in the spiritual world. Even two of the five masters, including the leader of the five masters, came to the door but did not knock down the mountain gate. He left in disgrace, without even seeing Wu Shuang's face. He spread the word, hey, people in the world don't know how to arrange slander behind their backs. Unexpectedly, this young man who dared to defeat Wujue alone in his youth, more than ten years apart, He actually knew that he was holding back on doing things. But he set up an army to investigate and left without success. If he really dared to go to the Indiping River to talk to Shan Taorong and get some benefits, he might have to keep his life and use it to pad the river mud. .”
What Wei Shang said is true. People like Shan Taorong, who are usually kind-hearted and have a calm temperament, don't get angry. If the pressure is really tight and the leader of the Five Ultimates is offended, the end will be really disastrous. Many years ago, there was a young man who had just established himself in the four realms. He wanted to compete with the Shantaorong of that year. He chased all the way to the Indigo Ping River. He accidentally trampled down a few flowers and plants, scared away a few flying birds, and was suddenly crushed by a mountain above his head. After being trapped for three years, he was spared by Shan Taorong and ran back to the mountain gate in embarrassment, never to be born again.
Wei Shang is probably going to step into the Indigo Ping River at this juncture, and the mountain pressing him down will probably be several hundred feet higher than the one pressing down on the surrounding areas back then.
There was a smile on Nanshan's face that had always been dull and dull, but it wasn't necessarily very festive.
"You are good at making jokes, but to be honest, the one that Laoshan trusts the most among the Five Jue is Wei Shang, who is as smooth as a swimming fish. You have been here, so you might as well make a secret, and deal with those who are in the Great Yuan War. The mountain man who controls the situation is the leader of the Five Jue. In other words, what should be the attitude of the Five Jue? The young sect leader of Jianlin Sect is probably just testing for others how the Five Jue will behave in this matter. The one who really takes action to influence the war is actually The few practitioners outside Wufeng Mountain in the front line wanted to kill them all as a warning to others, or they sat on the mountain and watched the tigers fight, and knocked a little to remind the practitioners that there were still Wujue inside the gate of the mountain, and there had to be a definite answer for right and wrong. "
Wei Shang looked at Tiao Nanshan in surprise, and the latter also looked at Wei Shang.
The World Covenant was made by the Five Ultimates who took the lead and gathered together at the Cultivation Mountain Gate to jointly promote it. Although it is just a weak window paper, it can block the wind and rain outside, allowing the entire human world to recuperate and recuperate. People do not survive water and fire, but it still has its disadvantages, such as Such civil strife in the Great Yuan Dynasty was not regulated by the covenant, so the Five Jue cannot be changed at will. Therefore, the war in the Great Yuan continued for many years, and the Five Jue remained silent. In the end, several cultivators were ready to take action, and the young master of the Sword Lin Sect , is just a pawn to test.
But the window paper has been able to hold on until now, but the storm is getting stronger and stronger. There will always be a time to break the window lattice. How will the Five Elements deal with themselves at that time, and how will they control the tens of thousands of practitioners who step into the battlefield in the long world? , fighting for fame and fortune, not to mention stretching your hand too far, but you will be resented by both parties. After all, the Five Absolutes are the Five Absolutes, not immortals, let alone gods. They wield hundreds of thousands of soldiers to hide the sun, and rain arrows across the sky. Even if the Five Absolutes join forces, they may not be able to protect themselves, let alone there are cultivators who cannot bear to leave in the mountains, thousands of miles away. The embankment collapsed and the ant's nest collapsed. Hundreds of brave men died in the hands of tens of thousands of mobs. It was difficult for two fists to defeat four hands.
"I don't know, I really don't know."
Wei Shang took a deep breath, "Perhaps he, Shan Taorong, will not intervene until someone actually overturns the table and smashes the dishes. But how to break the situation, maybe even he himself has not figured it out. Care will lead to chaos, The authorities are confused and say that people on the mountain should not get involved in worldly affairs. However, they first make a covenant and then knock on the mountain to shake the tiger. The five absolutes have reached out to this world far more times than others."
"Nanli Poison Master tore Baili Ya from the lotus platform. One day, maybe you and I will fall into the mortal world, and we will not know whether we will live or die."
