Cangyan Sword Sect, main hall.
As the old man in the middle said something, the hall became completely silent.
Luo Chuan looked back at the old coachman with a shocked expression, and from the corner of his eye, he could clearly see the expressions of everyone present. The old man with a sword on his head and a whisk in his hand was able to remain calm and originally brought Luo Chuan and his party to the main hall. The young female Taoist who was waiting aside had her eyes widened, looking at the old man in the middle in disbelief.
So Luo Chuan didn't rush to say anything, but suppressed his smile, solemnly saluted the old man in the middle and said slowly, "I beg you, senior, to teach me."
"It's not about giving advice, I just want to ask you something, sir," the old man in the middle continued, ignoring everyone's gazes.
"Senior, please ask," Luo Chuan was very respectful.
The old man in the middle looked at Luo Chuan and there seemed to be brilliance flowing in his eyes, "Master, do you know why the saying that humans and monsters are incompatible has come from since ancient times?"
Luo Chuan was startled. In the flash of lightning, he subconsciously thought of the beautiful woman who was still waiting for him at the foot of Cangyan Mountain. He broke out in a cold sweat without realizing it. "This junior has read the human history books. It is said that they were created by the ancient gods." Since then, due to their innate weakness, the human race has been enslaved and eaten by the monsters. It was not until the appearance of the Three Emperors that the human race began to truly rise and compete with all the monsters in the world. As a result, the wars continued and the killings continued. From then on, the pattern of hostility between the human race and the demon race continues to this day. ."
The old man in the middle continued to ask without comment, "Young master, do you think it is possible for humans and monsters to coexist and progress together?"
Luo Chuan pondered for a while and said, "Coexistence... This junior has probably passed the age of being impulsive. Even if he hates it in his heart, he has to admit that the monsters from all over the world have coexisted with our human race for thousands of years. Now the monster race No matter how difficult it is to destroy our human race, our human race does not have the ability to kill ten thousand monsters, so we have to coexist in this world. However, if one day our human race becomes as powerful as the sky, we should determine the rules for coexistence in heaven and earth. Ten thousand demons Bow down and respect the emperor's decree, and the heaven and earth will be unified only by the holy will. In this way, the chaos in the world will be ended, and the world will be unified. As for making progress together... it is difficult."
Everyone present was horrified after hearing these words. They all looked at Luo Chuan as if they were looking at the biggest rebellious freak in the world.
Everyone in this world knows that the human race and the barbarians have been fighting for thousands of years, but no one can say that they are incompatible with the demon race in the world. How can there be such a saying that they have to coexist? Who can speak of the emperor's holy will in such an understatement? Not to mention the two words at the end of those words were so startling that Si Qi couldn't help but secretly tug on his sleeve.
The three old men said nothing.
It wasn't until the old coachman beside him couldn't help but touch Luo Chuan's arm with his elbow that he smiled bitterly and spoke again, "Senior, don't blame me. I have been such a weird character since I was a child. Childish words cannot be taken seriously."
The old man in the middle shook his head seriously. He didn't know what he was denying by shaking his head. "Everyone in the world knows that people who are not of my race must have different minds... What do you think?"
Luo Chuan took a deep look at the old man in the middle, then sighed and looked up at the statue of Lu Zu. At this point in this heart-wrenching and bone-chilling conversation, he had already vaguely guessed something, "Lu Zu repels all demons with one sword." , has ruled Central Continent alone for three hundred years, and hundreds of millions of people have lived their lives in peace because of it. The younger generation yearns for this meritorious deeds every time they think of it..." He looked back at the old man in the middle and said word by word, "What I long for. , seniors and hundreds of millions of people also yearn for it, what about the demon...?!"
The eyes of the old man in the middle narrowed for a moment, and for a moment, in everyone's eyes, the world seemed to dim for a moment.
Luo Chuan seemed to be unaware and just continued, "Lu Zu's request is that all human beings in the world be at peace. But if there is a great road between heaven and earth, and all living beings under the great road are at peace, wouldn't it also comply with Lu Zu's wish? Or, not Did you also comply with the requests of the human race and the demon race?" He shook his head, "This junior is a human, and I have never seen many demons, but no matter whether you are a human or a demon, you must have something to ask for when you are born in the world. Seeking common ground may be the great road..."
Silence fell.
Everyone's eyes fell on the young man in the hall.
After a while, the old man in the middle spoke again, but his voice was no longer as gentle as before, and there was no trace of sadness or joy, "Young Master Luochuan... you have such great ambitions..."
Luo Chuan's smile became even bitterer, "Senior, this junior is yearning for it, but this junior probably can't do such a big thing. It sounds simple, but in practice, even a junior guard from Cangyan County may not be able to do it well."
The old man in the middle shook his head again, "The old Taoist said before that it is not impossible for me, Cangyan Sword Sect, to fully support the young master. Now, the old Taoist still does so."
Luo Chuan smirked and waved his hands, "You don't need to take the junior's unintentional words seriously. I just thought about it carefully. Since the Cangyan Sword Sect cultivates the way of transcendence, I really shouldn't have too many worldly requirements to disturb the seniors' practice."
The old man in the middle ignored his refusal and continued, "Young master, you can think about it. Since the old Taoist Qi Mingzi is the current headmaster of the Cangyan Sword Sect, his strong support is not false. If the young master can pass the test of the old Taoist, the old Taoist himself can also serve as the master. Young Master...come down the mountain once."
"Brother...!"
The old man carrying the sword next to the old man in the middle screamed out urgently, but he raised his hand to stop him. He just stared at Luo Chuan and asked again, "Young master... are you willing to take the old Taoist test?"
Luo Chuan, who was stared at by the old man in the middle, could hardly laugh, "Senior, this junior is just..." He glanced at the old man in the middle and lowered his head in thought for a moment, then raised his head and forced a smile, "Senior, can you tell me what the test is? ? Otherwise, if the junior is allowed to compete with any of the seniors here, the junior will never dare to do so."
"Of course it's not a competition," the old man in the middle said without changing his expression but his voice became gentle again, "I only need you to go to the Quelong Valley in the back mountain and say 'Earth and Heaven are peaceful' for you and the noble man in the valley."
"No!" Before Luo Chuan could reply, the old coachman who had been standing beside him silently grabbed his arm and shouted, then took two steps forward and solemnly saluted the old man in the middle, "Master, please don't do it. I have annoyed my young master. It is all my fault that he is young and arrogant and speaks incoherently. Since the real master in charge has made it clear that he wants to inform the nobles in the trapped dragon valley, Luo Jiang is willing to spread the word for the real master. However, my young master... is a millionaire. Those who are not allowed to enter the Trapped Dragon Valley, please forgive him once for the sake of the prefect and the Luo family’s ancestors and the Cangyan Sword Sect’s two hundred years of love!”
Luochuan was stunned.
The old man in the middle was still just staring at him, with no intention of looking at the old coachman. "Even if you don't look at the relationship between the prefect and the Luo family, it is impossible for the old man to ignore the rules and force a prefect to sleep in the Dragon Valley. The old man has already As I said, this is a test, and whether or not to accept this test is entirely up to Mr. Luochuan."
Hearing this, the old coachman pulled Luo Chuan to his side, stared at him with an unprecedented solemn attitude and shouted in a low voice, "Why don't you thank the senior master for your generosity, and then we'll say goodbye and go down the mountain!!"
Luo Chuan smiled and patted the old coachman's arm, then turned to look at the old man in the front and center, "Is there really a dragon trapped in the Dragon Trapped Valley? Senior, will this junior be in danger of his life during this trip?"
"Luochuan!!" The old coachman shouted angrily, reaching out to grab Luochuan's collar, but he was knocked away by an invisible force. Behind him, Siqi, who had drawn his sword in an instant, was also hit by a huge force. The force was so strong that they couldn't move, and among the ten blood knights, except for the leader Luo Changgong who could still stand, the others were kneeling and unable to get up! !
The two Wangchuan sword cultivators looked at each other, and the long swords behind them were pushed back into the scabbard just inches after they were unsheathed, bending the waists of the two Taoist priests! !
"There is no need to worry about life," the majestic voice of the old man in the middle resounded throughout the hall.
Luo Chuan looked up and stared at the giant Lu Zu elephant and laughed.
"Then...I'll go!!!"
