In the room, sandalwood scent lingered, and Tai Xun Gong, Song Lao Chu, Yu Siliu and Ling Shiyue's father, Ling Xuzi, were sitting cross-legged. They were all acquaintances from back then.
Seeing Xin Zhuo's arrival, they couldn't help but stand up. Their expressions were a little uncomfortable at first. After all, they all served under Xin Zhuo back then, but now things have changed. The sun and the moon have changed in the world. They don't know how to face it, and then they all started talking. Salute: "I have met the king!"
Some things are engraved deep in their memories and in their bones. King Qin's methods and ingenuity in those years were enough to frighten them. Even now, they have a strong backer, and they are still no match for Xin Zhuo in terms of realm.
"You are Welcome."
Xin Zhuo smiled and glanced around, "Where is Master Huang?"
The four people immediately stepped aside and looked towards the central hall, where there was a couplet on a jade stone:
“Advocating propriety and benevolence, returning to the heart of the nine realms, enjoying the happiness of the country and the saints;
Honoring glory and suppressing shame, being a teacher for thousands of years, Confucianism will last forever. "
At first glance, the three crosses are just written on the white jade stele with a vermillion lacquer brush, but in the blink of an eye they fly up on their own, twisting and turning to form a rotating portal of true energy, which is extremely rich in righteousness.
Duke Taixun cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, please come in. Master has been waiting inside for a long time!"
Xin Zhuo was silent for a moment, waved his sleeves, and walked towards the door.
Tai Xun Gong and the four others stared at his back.
I saw Xin Zhuo suddenly stop in front of the door and said: "The Confucian old man is always making trouble. The sage uses his enlightenment to make others enlightened. Now he uses his faintness to make others enlightened. What step have you achieved?"
This broken couplet dog portal actually wants to test one's own state of mind. The treacherous villain cannot enter.
I, Xin Zhuo, in this life, who can say that I am a villain?
Saying that, he stepped in.
Those awe-inspiring and upright people gave way on their own without any hindrance.
The expressions of the four people behind them, Tai Xungong, changed slightly, and then they gave a wry smile, and they all saluted with the same expressions as before.
Behind the portal was an empty small room that exuded a faint light. As soon as he entered, he smelled a strong rotten smell, which was more than ten times stronger than a pile of rotten eggs.
There was a person sitting cross-legged on the soft couch opposite, with a head full of withered white hair and an old wrinkled face. He was wearing a thin green shirt. Under the green shirt, the skin was ulcerated and the muscles were swollen. The whole body was filled with the smell of death. The stench was coming from him.
Xin Zhuo endured the discomfort and looked carefully at the man's face. Although his appearance, expression, and aura had changed, he could still recognize that it was Huang Taigai.
His thoughts instantly flew to many years ago, when he was in charge of the Western Region and the first Confucian Earth Immortal he sought as a helper was still a energetic old Confucian man.
Huang Taigai looked at him with bright old eyes, stretched out his arms, and pretended to be like an old lady planting rice seedlings. As before, he liked to dance when he was excited.
Xin Zhuo shook his head: "If you don't dance, you're not in the mood."
Huang Taigai was a little disappointed, then he smiled and said: "We have been apart for many years, and things have changed since we met again. I am an old master of Confucianism, who are you?"
His eyes became a bit sharper, as if he was afraid that he would say that three-letter name.
"Xin Zhuo!" Xin Zhuo sat cross-legged on the futon beside him.
"Xin Zhuo, okay!"
Huang Taigai felt relieved and nodded, "Are you in your thirties? You are still as domineering and arrogant as before. Your martial arts cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds, and your knowledge has not fallen behind. 'A wise man uses his brilliance to make others shine; now he uses his brilliance to make others shine. Faintness makes people enlightened.' That's a good point."
"The words of wise men have nothing to do with me."
Xin Zhuo looked up and down his body, "What are you..."
Huang Taigai laughed a few times and said: "The body is filthy, the hair on the head is wilted, the thoughts are mixed, the gods are filthy, and I am not happy with you. For ordinary warriors, the Hunyuan has come to an end. At this step, I Sooner or later you will experience it too.”
Xin Zhuo nodded. The five degenerations of heaven and man turned out to be such a degeneration.
The two of them stopped talking and the small room was silent.
Xin Zhuo didn't know what to say. Even though this Huang Taigai was still the same Huang Taigai back then, he was "a different person" after all, just like a friend who had been a friend for many years suddenly one day turned into a powerful man. Man, some words and some actions are always restrictive.
"Those years, those things, those people, if you become a saint in the future and become a martial arts saint, you can ask, you can think, if not..."
Huang Taigai looked at him intently, as if he wanted to see into the depths of his soul, "Forget, forget completely, don't mention a word. If you have any dissatisfaction or any extravagant expectations that you shouldn't have, forget it." You are about to die without a burial place, and no one in heaven or on earth can save you!"
Xin Zhuo was silent, but he didn't know that, although deep in his heart he had the ambition to break mountains and rivers with his palms, slash the heaven and earth with his sword, and flow blood into rivers, the profound understanding of this martial arts road, the higher the realm, the more his heart Chill.
The Hunyuan Void Realm is already so terrifying, what will it be like going up? He has seen the five degenerates of heaven and humans, and even the masters of Yuanji, but they are all a group of people who have just barely come back from the dead. None of them are in peak condition. How powerful is it if they really take action?
His mentality has also changed over the years. At the beginning, Jiang Yugui said that he could reach the five-degeneration of heaven and man in a hundred years, but he later thought about it and realized that the five-degeneration of heaven and man was just the level of a domestic slave of that family...
After a while, Xin Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Master Huang, do you think he can become a saint instantly in the future?"
Master Huang did not answer directly, but asked: "Do you know how many saints there are today in this area of hundreds of thousands of miles?"
Xin Zhuo shook his head.
Master Huang stretched out his hands: "Not enough! These are still a group of old monsters who have lived for countless years. Of course, there may be more saints who have not died for tens of millions of years emerging in the future, but now they are not enough!"
Then do you know how many gods and humans there are in the five declines? "
He stretched out a hand again and let go. It was a handful of golden sand that came from nowhere. The quantity was unknown, and then he said: "Do you feel that the gods and humans are much weaker?"
Xin Zhuo nodded: "It looks like a lot!"
Huang Taigai sighed: "If you look at what has been accumulated over time in the next hundred years from now, I'm afraid there won't be many of them. With the talent you have shown now, you may have a chance of being a devastation, but , whether the five declines of heaven and man can pass, and how long it will take, is unknown. Yuanji's ten forest tempering requires resources wider than the sea. How many masters waste countless years unable to make progress until their life span is exhausted, let alone what kind of holy realm? "
The implication is that Xin Zhuo cannot become a saint.
If you cannot become a saint, you will not be taken seriously. Under those terrifying forces, you are like an ant that can be easily crushed to death.
If you want to forget about that trial for the rest of your life, you can't say it, you can't think about it, you can't complain, you can't wish for it, even if you keep your life, it's a great mercy!
Xin Zhuo knew that there was something Huang Taigai didn't say directly——
You, Xin Zhuo, destroyed those terrifying Eternal Family and Holy Land trials, and you deserve to die if you trespassed.
"Boom..."
It suddenly started to rain lightly outside, and a trace of mist poured in through the window, bringing with it a hint of coolness.
The two of them looked outside. After a while, Huang Taigai slowed down and said: "That year, Li Guangling's life was approaching, and the old man was afraid of death, but he knew a mysterious place that could not only slow down the passage of life, but also fake death. Sit true and practice more and more thousands of miles!
But one person can't do it alone. At least three people opened a strange passage, and then they needed an opportunity. The old man and the man from the mountain followed him, and they stayed there for many years. They didn't come out until their memories were restored. leaving himself there.
Do you know where that is? "
