Xi'e and Yuekui left.
Without saying goodbye too much, the two women left immediately after asking about the specific situation of the Wuzhu statue.
In this world, no one except the two of them can understand how important the Wuzhu Statue is to the Hidden Witch lineage.
As the high priest of the Hidden Witch lineage, Yuekui deeply understood the heavy responsibility she shouldered, and therefore, she did not go see Li Su when she left.
She was afraid that she would be reluctant to let go.
Li Su and Zhao Yuding stood outside Xandao Cottage, with a hint of reluctance flashing in one's eyes and a smile flashing in the other's.
"It seems that the Wu Zhu Statue is very important to the Yin Wu lineage." Li Su whispered, Yue Kui's eyes had disappeared, and his heart became a little empty.
He had a strong premonition that after this separation, he might really have to wait until the trip to Chaoge three years later before they could see each other again.
Even though he had been tired for three days and three nights in a row, he was still full of reluctance at this moment.
Unknowingly, Yuekui already occupied a considerable weight in his heart.
"I heard that the most important inheritance of the Yinwu lineage is hidden in the Wuzhu statue." Zhao Yuding said leisurely, "Yuekui is the high priest of the Yinwu lineage. When he heard the news about the Wuzhu statue, he naturally wanted to be the first to do so. Time passes."
Li Su glanced at Zhao Yuding and said suspiciously: "Master, how do I feel... you seem to be very happy when they leave?"
"Haha~, Yuekui and your Uncle Xiangxiu have some conflicts. If she doesn't leave, it will be difficult for your Uncle Xiangxiu to show up." Zhao Yuding brushed his beard and smiled.
"Uncle Xiangxiu..." Li Su was startled, then his heart moved, and he asked tentatively, "Uncle Xiangxiu has come back?"
"It was Xiangxiu who told Master the news about the Wuzhu Statue." Zhao Yuding said with a smile.
Li Su paused, not knowing what to say.
In the eyes of this master, it was obvious that Xiangxiu was truly one of his own.
"Master, are you sure that the statue of Wu Zhu appeared in Shu? Is this news true?" Li Su stared at Zhao Yuding and asked quietly.
Zhao Yuding chuckled and said: "The news about Xiangxiu is naturally not false. I just don't want High Priest Yuekui to meet Xiangxiu, but I have never thought of deceiving High Priest Yuekui."
"That's it." Li Su breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that if you deceived my Yuekui, then you would probably chase him with your new disciple.
Between Xiang Xiu and Yue Kui, as Yue Kui's only man, he would definitely choose Yue Kui without any thought.
"Don't worry about High Priest Yuekui." Zhao Yuding looked at the golden curtain barrier around Xuan Dao Lu and said with emotion, "With Huaizhu following her, no matter where she goes, nothing will happen to her."
"Huaizhu..." Li Su looked at Zhao Yuding and asked curiously, "Is Xi'e very strong?"
Huaizhu is Xi'e.
"You should have seen this before in the forbidden land of gods and demons." Zhao Yuding said softly, "Thanks to her, we were able to avert danger this time."
"How does her strength compare with Wu Jian?" Li Su asked, he was quite curious.
From the first day he met Xi'e, he knew that this woman was a strong woman who was not weaker than Yue Kui, but he didn't have much idea of how strong she was.
In the forbidden land of gods and demons, I have seen Xi'e take action, but I still can't determine the specific range of Xi'e's strength.
"Compared with Wu Jian..." Zhao Yuding mused, "If compared with Wu Jian, Huaizhu is better at defense and escape."
Li Su blinked and asked tentatively: "Are you saying that in a head-on confrontation, Xi'e is not as good as Wu Jian?"
"They are at the same level." Zhao Yuding said cryptically.
Li Su understood.
In a head-on fight, Xi'e could not do anything to Wu Jian; but it was also very difficult for Wu Jian to kill Xi'e.
In particular, Xi'e is a talisman master. If she is prepared in advance, she can prepare various talismans for self-defense, making her defense invincible.
"It seems that it is a bit difficult to beat this old maid." Li Su secretly thought, if his strength allowed, he would have wanted to beat Xi'e.
He believed that if given the chance, the woman would definitely beat him up without hesitation.
"There is something. You can think about it slowly in three years." Zhao Yuding looked at Li Su.
"Master, please speak."
"About Wu Jian." Zhao Yuding said, "After you join the Golden Scale Sect, Wu Jian's father Wu Qi will be regarded as your great uncle."
Li Su grinned, "Counting from Grandmaster Bo Wuqi to here, Wu Jian and I are considered brothers?"
"This is no child's play." Zhao Yuding stared at Li Su and said seriously, "Your wife, Princess Yunran, and Wu Jian have a hatred for the destruction of the country and the annihilation of the clan."
Li Su's face became a little more serious, nodded and said, "I know."
He added in his mind: "Not only Tian Qi and Ziying, but now Yuekui."
"Are you going to kill Wu Jian in the future?" Zhao Yuding asked.
"There will be a battle between Wu Jian and me." Li Su looked at Zhao Yuding, "This battle is not because Wu Jian led his troops to destroy Chu."
Zhao Yuding was startled and said slowly: "Because of Jiang Zuo?"
"That's right." Li Su nodded and said, "Lao Zuo lost face with Wu Jian, and I must help him get it back.
A battle between me and Wu Jian is inevitable.
As for Wu Jian's command of troops to destroy Chu... to be honest, it has little to do with me.
However, since I am Princess Yunran’s husband, I also have plans in the future to help Princess Yunran regain the Chu Kingdom.
At that time, if Wu Jian is still alive and is still King Wu'an of the Daqian Dynasty, then I will confront him openly on the battlefield.
There is no hatred between Wu Jian and me, but there is a duel between strong men. "
"A duel between strong men..." Zhao Yuding seemed to have some realization.
Li Su smiled and said: "Put aside all hatred, I actually admire Wu Jian."
This is the truth.
When he followed Lao Zuo to Taihu Lake, he admired Wu Jian very much when he saw Wu Jian for the first time.
After all, not everyone has the stomach to watch their own daughter being choked by a new man and remain indifferent.
"He also appreciates you." Zhao Yuding said suddenly.
"Wu Jian appreciates me?" Li Su blinked, thinking, isn't this normal?
It's normal for strong people to appreciate each other...especially since I gave him several pretentious quotes.
Zhao Yuding said leisurely: "You are wanted by the Daqian Dynasty, and the reward is as high as three hundred thousand... The biggest reason is not Xiao Yuancheng, but Wu Jian.
At least half of the three hundred thousand bounty was won by Wu Jian for you. "
"..."
Li Su's face froze slightly.
"You may not know yet." Zhao Yuding said with a smile, "Wu Jian escorted Jiang Zuo into Chaoge. When he met Emperor Qian, the most talked about thing was about you."
"About me?" Li Su blinked, his heart beating a little faster.
"If the situation in the Daqian Dynasty does not change in the next three years, then there is a half chance that you will encounter Jiangzuo when you enter Chaoge in three years." Zhao Yuding said softly.
"It seems that I need to cherish these three years." Li Su smiled suddenly, without fear in his heart.
Zhao Yuding also smiled.
"You should have had enough rest in the past three days. It's time to learn about our Golden Scale Sect with Master."
"good."
Li Su quickly regained his composure and left Xandao Lu with Zhao Yuding.
The two of them walked up a stone path.
The environment on both sides is extremely quiet.
"Compared with large sects such as Lingshan Sword Sect, the number of disciples of the Golden Scale Sect is really pitifully small." Zhao Yuding said softly, "From now on, your days of training in the mountains will definitely be worse than your past life. Much cleaner.”
"The disciple's past life was actually quite pure." Li Su said, and this was the truth.
In Gusu City, apart from sleeping, he spent most of his time practicing and tempering his body; before meeting Tian Qi and Ziying, the person he had the most contact with in his life was Zuo Qianhu.
"The purity that my master talks about refers to living alone in the mountains." Zhao Yuding said, "Just like a hermit, you eat alone and practice alone."
"Um... the senior sisters and I don't eat together?" Li Su blinked, thinking to himself, how can we cultivate relationships if we don't even eat together?
Without deep enough feelings, how can we connect with each other and practice the skill of combined attack?
Zhao Yuding smiled and said: "Your six senior sisters have different personalities, and they don't even eat together.
Moreover, Yuquan Mountain is not too small. The seven of you live in different areas. It would be a waste of time if you have to have three meals together every day.
Everyone eats what they want, as they please.
The resources in the mountains are at your disposal. You can eat whatever you want. "
"All my six senior sisters know how to cook?" Li Su didn't believe it.
Zhao Yuding did not answer, but asked: "Where are you living during this time?"
Li Su understood instantly and couldn't help complaining: "I thought the retreat in the mountains you mentioned meant being isolated from the world. Can you still go to a small town?"
"The small hermit is hidden in the wild, and the big hermit is hidden in the city." Zhao Yuding said with a smile, "My master once said that one of the meanings of the existence of that small town is to let us feel the joy of practicing in seclusion from there. "
"The joy of practicing in seclusion?" Li Su was startled, not knowing what he meant.
Zhao Yuding said: "When you were in Gusu City, what was your state of mind when you ate in restaurants and shops in the city?"
"The state of mind when eating..." Li Su said thoughtfully, "A monk with power beyond the ordinary world walks in the world of mortals. His mentality is calm and calm, but he also has a pretentious look on his face."
"Pretentious and arrogant?" Zhao Yuding glanced at Li Su, "I think that is a secret feeling of peace of mind."
"Darkly happy?" Li Su blinked.
Zhao Yuding smiled and said: "You are better than them. You know that you are better than them. They don't know that you are better than them...Based on this, when you get along with them, your mentality will naturally be peaceful and detached."
"Master, are you feeling so happy all the time?" Li Su looked at Zhao Yuding and asked curiously, "What if you meet someone stronger than you, Master?"
Zhao Yuding sighed and said: "The person who is transcendent and secretly happy is him."
"Detachment... secretly happy?" Li Su raised his eyebrows lightly and said with a smile, "So, the so-called detachment is secretly happy?"
"What else?" Zhao Yuding said with a smile, "The three sects of Taoism all have a tradition. After the disciples reach a certain level in cultivation, they will choose to join the world and travel around the world.
Guess what the mentality of those Taoist disciples was like when they traveled around the world? "
Li Su thought for a moment and said, "It's like a ghost, walking everywhere."
"Ghost?" Zhao Yuding said thoughtfully, "You are talking about the female leader of the Tianzong, Fairy Yuheng."
Li Su nodded and said: "Fairy Yuheng is proficient in the ethereal dragon body and has peerless lightness skills. Even if she is in the same room with you, you may not be able to notice it."
"What do you think her state of mind is?" Zhao Yuding asked.
"Mindset..." Li Su thought for a while and said, "She travels around the world and observes everything in the world... her mentality should always be from the perspective of an observer."
As he spoke, a flash of surprise flashed in Li Su's eyes, "When observing, she pulled herself out of the world of mortals.
Is this detachment? "
"To be precise, this is the detachment that Master understands." Zhao Yuding said with a smile, "The detachment of Taoism is much more complicated than this."
"Detached, secretly happy...is this your state of mind, Master?" Li Su looked at Zhao Yuding.
Zhao Yuding smiled and said: "Perhaps, this is not the state of mind, but the temperament of the teacher. After all, the journey of cultivation is too boring, and the teacher does not like to fight with others..."
"Master, your level is very high." Li Su said with a smile, "At least you are higher than your disciples.
If you compare success in cultivation to returning home in rich clothes, Master, you are a person who can endure loneliness and walk at night in rich clothes.
As for my disciple, I probably want to show off. "
"Just like you standing in front of the Jade Spring Spiritual Mirror in front of all those geniuses, showing off your body?" Zhao Yuding teased. Looking back on the disciple's demeanor at that time, he still felt a little funny.
Li Su's expression remained normal, "That's not the same as strength. When it comes to my body alone, I'm confident that I'm unparalleled in the world. As for strength, I don't have that confidence yet."
Zhao Yuding shook his head and said: "In the past three years, one of your training tasks is to restrain your desire to 'show off'."
"Uh..." Li Su paused.
Zhao Yuding said softly: "One of the meanings of our cultivation is that we don't have to restrain this mentality.
When you are strong enough, you don't need to show off, and all living beings can understand your strength; if you are not strong enough, any show off you have may be a provocation in the eyes of the strong. "
"Disciple has learned."
Li Su nodded seriously and said, "Disciple will keep a low profile unless necessary."
"..."
During the conversation, the two came to a hidden stone house on the top of the mountain.
"Heavenly Book Hall?" Li Su looked at the stone carvings above the door of the stone house and read out softly.
"Do you still remember the poem I told you before I became a teacher?" Zhao Yuding asked softly.
Li Su nodded and said softly: "The golden scales are not the things in the pool, but they are in the ninth level of the Book of Heaven."
Zhao Yuding waved his empty left sleeve gently, and the door of the stone house in front rumbled. The two stone doors disappeared from the middle and disappeared into the stone walls on both sides.
Deep darkness appears.
Li Su stared intently, as if staring into the darkest abyss, unable to see through this Heavenly Book Palace.
"Walking behind my master, stepping on my footsteps." Zhao Yuding confessed softly and stepped into the Temple of Heavenly Book.
"good."
Li Su took a deep breath and followed Zhao Yuding closely.
