"Uncle Master, I remember that you have been in retreat since last year? You suddenly came down the mountain this time. Could it be that you have already broken through to become a great master?"
At Longmen Pass, they had a simple breakfast, and then Li Zexuan walked among the tents with Xuan Qing, taking a look at where there were seriously injured sergeants who needed help. After looking at the wound healing conditions of several seriously injured sergeants, Li Zexuan suddenly asked .
It is said that after this guy recovered from his injury last night, he was busy until dawn in order to treat the wounds of the seriously injured sergeant in the military camp. If the military doctor sent by Hong Wenxing hadn't arrived, he would have been busy until now! After that, he only slept for more than an hour when he returned to the corner building, but even so, Li Zexuan didn't feel sleepy at all at this moment, and even felt refreshed!
Mainly because with the help of Xuan Qing last night, Li Zexuan broke through to the late stage of Grand Master, and his mental strength also increased sharply. Not sleeping for a whole day had no impact on him at all!
Besides, he had been fighting the Witch Tribulation alone before and fell into a coma from exhaustion. He had been asleep for several hours counting!
When he was "interrogated" by Xuan Qing last night, Li Zexuan was in a panic, fearing that his identity as a time traveler would be exposed. However, after a night of digestion and contemplation, he felt a lot more at ease, but he began to have some doubts about his own identity. Why did Junior Uncle appear here at this time?
"... To reach the realm of a great master, in addition to talent and hard work, it also requires luck and understanding of martial arts. It's not easy!"
Xuan Qing was carrying a heavy sword case on his back, standing upright, walking forward with his hands behind his back, and answering Li Zexuan's questions expressionlessly.
Li Zexuan, who was half a step behind Xuan Qing, his eyes drifted to the sword box on Xuan Qing's back intentionally or unintentionally. In the memory of his predecessor, this young uncle would carry a sword on his back no matter where he went. He remembered that the young uncle once It has been said: The sword never leaves the body, and the sword remains with the person!
In Xuanqing's view, Jian is his best brother and will never betray him!
It is precisely because of this almost crazy paranoia that few people can match Xuanqing's qualifications in swordsmanship, and that makes his swordsmanship extremely pure. Even Master Lingxu feels inferior in this aspect!
"Then, little uncle, what state are you in now?"
Hearing this, Li Zexuan couldn't help but asked curiously.
Regarding Xuan Qing's realm, he really couldn't see through it. Besides, when Xuan Qing fought against Wu Jie outside Longmen Pass, he was not there, so it was naturally difficult to judge Xuan Qing's current strength!
In my impression, Xuan Qing was already at the peak of his master status before he went into seclusion. With his talent and qualifications, he will definitely improve after more than a year of seclusion!
"Half-step to Grandmaster! Although I have seen the threshold of Grandmaster, it is difficult to cross it! The path of martial arts becomes more and more difficult as you go further. Xiaoxuan, you must remember not to be greedy for merit and rush forward in the future, so as not to go astray!"
Xuanqing was silent for a moment and then spoke.
Li Zexuan nodded and said: "Uncle, don't worry. Disciples must remember the teachings of our uncle, work steadily and do not rush forward! Oh, by the way, little uncle! Why did you come down the mountain this time? It was given to you by the head master, uncle." What's the mission?"
Hearing this, Xuan Qing suddenly stopped and his face showed a trace of unnaturalness. After a moment, he turned to look at Li Zexuan and said: "Uncle, this time he went down the mountain. He was indeed assigned by the head brother. When he arrived in Chang'an, I originally wanted to drop by to see you, but unexpectedly I learned that the Yanhuang Academy you founded was attacked by Wu Jie a few hours ago. In order to trace the whereabouts of Wu Jie, my uncle has been chasing him here!"
"I see!"
Li Zexuan nodded, with a calm expression on his face, but his heart began to become lively. He secretly wondered what kind of important mission there was on Longhu Mountain, and why he actually sent Xuan Qing down the mountain in person? This is somewhat unreasonable!
You must know that since the death of Master Lingxu, there has been no great master on Longhu Mountain. This is very inconsistent with the status of Tianshi Tao in the world. In addition, there is still a great master in the world today who came from Shaolin Temple. If the Taoist sect does not come out again, Wouldn't a great master be overshadowed by Buddhism? Therefore, the most important task of Tianshi Dao in the past two years is to train a great master!
And Xuan Qing is the most promising disciple of Longhu Mountain Tianshi Dao to become a grand master. This was said by Master Lingxu himself. No one doubts it. Therefore, there is no way that Feng Lingzi, the head of Tianshi Dao, can let Xuan Qing. Clear the mountain, unless there is something particularly important or urgent!
"Do you want to ask what tasks the leader assigned me?"
Xuan Qing's deep eyes seemed to be able to see through the soul. He looked at Li Zexuan intently and asked after a moment.
"Uh...Uncle, if you can't tell me, forget it!"
Li Zexuan was stunned for a moment, and then said in a strange way.
The implication is that he really wants to know what tasks the head of Tianshi Dao has assigned to Xuan Qing.
Xuan Qing was silent for a moment, then turned around and said: "Previously, your master master learned that you were now the Marquis of the Tang Dynasty, so he sent me down the mountain, and through your introduction, I entered the palace to pay homage to the current emperor! But it happened that you were there The northern prefectures and counties are exterminating locusts and the witchcraft attacks Yanhuang Academy, so I came here to solve your problem first!"
Xuanqing's temperament destined him to be a straight-forward person who would not beat around the bush and would just say what he wanted. Li Zexuan next to him was dumbfounded. After being surprised for a long time, Li Zexuan couldn't help but ask: "Little ...Uncle Master, is the master planning to bring the Tao of Heavenly Masters into the secular world?"
In Li Zexuan's impression, Longhushan Tianshi Dao can be regarded as a semi-hidden sect. It does not deal with local officials, and no disciples will become officials in the court (of course, Li Zexuan is an exception). Normally, it does not interact with the outside world. The only contact I have had is helping mountain residents with medical treatment!
Existing in the world, but hidden from the world, this was the previous state of Tianshi Dao in Longhu Mountain!
That's why Li Zexuan was so shocked after hearing the mission given by the leader Feng Lingzi from Xuan Qing's mouth!
Xuan Qing seemed to have been prepared for this question. After Li Zexuan finished speaking, he answered directly:
"Xiaoxuan, you are also a disciple of Tianshi Dao. From the moment you entered the court, Tianshi Dao has actually entered the world! The head brother said that now that the world is gradually settling down, and today the emperor is also the king of sage, if Tianshi Dao is If you want to pass it on from generation to generation, you must have a good relationship with the rulers of the current dynasty. It’s not about flattery, as long as you don’t offend! Blindly avoiding the world will only make the Tianshi Tao line gradually disappear1"
"Master Master is wise!"
After hearing this, Li Zexuan couldn't help but give a thumbs up and said: "Although there are still packs of wolves around the Tang Dynasty today, your Majesty is working hard to govern, and the strength of the Tang Dynasty is getting stronger and stronger. This is something that everyone can feel. ! If the Taoist sect wants to be passed on for a long time, it should not hide from the world. Only after the world knows the positive role of the Taoist sect in the Tang Dynasty, will there be a steady stream of people who want to practice Taoism and join the Taoist sect!
This is true for the Taoist sect, and it is also true for the Longhu Mountain Celestial Master Tao! In the next ten or twenty years, the Tang Dynasty will undergo earth-shaking changes and become unprecedentedly powerful. For Tianshi Tao, there are only two choices, either to follow the trend of the times, make some changes in time, and lead the Taoist sect to become more and more powerful. Prosper and grow, or completely evade the world. After ten or twenty years, everyone in the world has forgotten the way of the Celestial Master, and then there will no longer be the way of the Celestial Master in this world!
Besides, if the way of the Celestial Master is to practice in isolation, what is the difference between it and the Buddhist monks who only know how to eat fast, recite Buddha's name, burn incense, and knock wooden fish? This move by the head master's uncle is undoubtedly a very wise decision! "
As a member of the Taoist sect, Li Zexuan naturally wants to see the Taoist sect become more prosperous and stronger. In addition, after all, the Taoist sect can be regarded as a local sect in the Central Plains. He does not want the Taoist sect to be completely crushed by Buddhism. Compared with Compared with the Buddhist practice of eating fast, chanting Buddha's name, and not giving birth, he preferred the Taoist practice of living in the world. He felt that the previous escaping behavior of the Longhu Mountain Celestial Master Tao was very inappropriate!
Xuan Qing nodded frequently when he heard this. Suddenly, he glanced at Li Zexuan strangely and said, "I didn't expect that Xiaoxuan, you have been down the mountain for more than a year, and you have seen the problem more deeply than before! Back in Longhu Mountain, you were still the only one who knew Here’s the honest boy who is busy practicing kung fu!”
Li Zexuan was shocked and thought to himself that he was too smart and had to restrain himself before Xuan Qing discovered his identity!
Little did he know that Xuan Qing had long since stopped pursuing these abnormal behaviors in him!
"Uh! Back on Longhu Mountain, everything had a master, so why did the disciples need to worry about these things?"
Li Zexuan scratched his head and quickly found a reason for himself.
Hearing Li Zexuan mention Lingxu, Xuanqing's face darkened. After a long silence, he sighed and said, "Xiaoxuan, please continue to inspect the military camp. Uncle, I will go for a walk!"
"Yes! Uncle Master!"
Li Zexuan knew that he had accidentally touched the sadness in Xuanqing's heart. In his memory, although Xuanqing and Lingxu were brothers in name, they were actually master-disciple relationship. Since Xuanqing started his career later, Moreover, not long after he entered the academy, the previous great elder of Longhu Mountain, the master of Xuanqing and Lingxu, passed away. Therefore, whenever Xuanqing had any problems in martial arts, he would seek help from Master Lingxu. It can be said that Xuanqing Most of Qing's martial arts skills were taught by Master Lingxu!
…………………………
