"I'm going to visit the Zhou family. I will first leave Xitieguan and travel to the central part of the country. I will not go straight to the Zhou family. I will make a circuit and then visit the Zhou family. Although our Cao family is not as good as the Zhou family, but with the current situation of the Zhou family, He must also be willing to make friends with our Cao family. At that time, I will try to find out what treasures the Zhou family has. "
Cao Defei thought seriously for a moment, then nodded and said: "Okay, let's put it together."
At the same time, in the City Lord's Mansion, Zhou Xiangru and Yang Zhentian were also planning to recapture Xifeng Pass.
The war they started this time was not a clan war, but a war between the two city gates, Xifeng Pass and Xitie Pass. But neither of them had the confidence to know whether this would lead to a truly grand clan war. If they didn't want to trigger a clan war, they had to figure this out, which was not easy.
Both of them are not simple. One has been a master of Guan for a hundred years, and the other is a disciple of the master of Shaoyang Sect. He has also managed some affairs of the sect. Neither of them is a fool, nor is he ignorant of the overall situation. So both of them are very cautious.
"Fellow Daoist Yang, how do you measure this?" Zhou Xiangru had a headache.
Yang Zhentian thought deeply and said: "The current situation is that we in the west must take some actions. Now the north and east have completely suppressed the demon clan. It can be said that the demon clan is the meat on the human race's eucalyptus board. The southern part is led by Shui Qingrou and Feng Wuhen. We have achieved results. If there is no movement in the west, not only the Tianxuan Human Race will put pressure on the West, but also the morale of the Western Human Race monks will drop. This is not a good thing."
Zhou Xiangru nodded and said: "That's why I decided to start this war. But I was worried that it would lead to a large-scale clan war."
"You don't have to think about it so much!" Yang Zhentian said with sharp eyes: "Shui Qingqing and Feng Wuhen don't even consider it, why should we? And judging from the situation in the south, the demon clan has not come forward to transcend the tribulation. It seems that the demon clan in the south has not come forward to cross the tribulation. The tribe believes that this is a war under the tribulation. Our human race cannot survive the tribulation, and their demon clan cannot escape the tribulation. The outcome that the two sides can achieve depends on the strength competition of each party under the tribulation. So , what do we have to fear?”
"I hope so. If we can't survive the tribulation, we can let the fight go."
"Then let's fight!" Yang Zhentian said: "Actually, once the war starts, we sitting here can't predict it. Even the water in the south and the wind without trace can't predict whether the demon clan's tribulation will occur. …”
I remembered the sound of footsteps outside the door, and then heard Yi Fan's voice: "Master!"
"Come in!"
Yi Fan walked in and handed over a jade slip with both hands: "Master, everything has been arranged, and the four halls of the Alchemy Talisman Array have also promised to provide full assistance."
Zhou Xiangru took the jade slip, scanned it with his consciousness, and then handed it to Yang Zhentian beside him. Looking at Yi Fan, Zhou Xiangru suddenly felt something in his heart:
"Fellow Daoist Yang, I will take you to meet someone."
"Who?" Yang Zhentian quickly glanced at the contents of the jade slip, and then returned the jade slip to Zhou Xiangru.
"The moon shines brightly!"
"That top alchemist?"
"right!"
A smile appeared on Zhou Xiangru's face. Gu Shuo was now known as the best alchemist because he could systematically refine the best pills.
There was hesitation on Yang Zhentian's face. He naturally admired this top alchemy master. No matter who is able to achieve this level in a certain realm, they are worthy of admiration. But while he still admired him in his heart, he was a little disapproving. Because in his opinion, monks should major in cultivation. This is what monks should do. Assistance such as the Alchemy Tool Array is not mainstream.
He knew that at this time, Zhou Xiangru wanted to introduce him to Yue Tonghui, and he must have wanted to ask Yue Tonghui's views on this war.
only……
What does an alchemist know about war?
But Zhou Xiangru's face had to be given, and a top alchemist was indeed worth meeting, so he nodded in agreement, and the two of them got up and walked towards Zhaobi Street.
In order to avoid being abrupt, Zhou Xiangru asked Yi Fan to inform Gu Shuo first.
At this time, Gu Shuo was gathering with the Dahuang team. Every once in a while, they would gather here. On the one hand, there is always delicious food here in Gushuo. On the other hand, everyone is a god. Every once in a while, everyone will have some insights. Getting together to communicate will elevate their understanding to a higher level.
In fact, this is an irregular exchange meeting.
While they were having a lively exchange, Yi Fan came in. After listening to Yi Fan's words, Gu Shuo was stunned for a moment. What were these two people doing with him?
Change source app]
Did Zhou Xiangru tell Yang Zhentian his identity?
It was Vowel Yin who said, "They're not here to ask for your opinion on starting a war, are they?"
"Maybe!" Gu Shuo also reacted and smiled: "Now the two of them should feel a little unsure of the direction of this war!"
"You mean, this war might expand into a large-scale clan war?"
"It's hard to say!" Gu Shuo also frowned slightly.
Ximen Pojun stood up and said: "Anyway, this is a matter between you and them, so we won't get involved. Anyway, we are ready to follow you to fight at any time. Now, let's go!"
"gone!"
"gone!"
More than a dozen people stood up and walked outside. Nowadays, these people are no longer the young and sharp-edged people they were when they first entered the Tianmeng. They have become introverted and their behavior has become casual, but they are closer to nature. He exudes a calm temperament.
Yi Fan watched these people leave, and he could clearly feel the calmness of these people, which could not be learned through hard learning. That kind of calmness was like, even if thousands of monsters were rolling towards them, they would still remain calm. As before.
He was shocked!
He didn't know the true cultivation of these people. In his eyes, these people were in the Nascent Soul stage just like him. But he knew better that he did not have such a calm temperament.
This kind of temperament...
This kind of temperament... seems to have only been seen in my master...
He suddenly turned his head and looked at Gu Shuo, who was sitting on the stone bench with a calm look on his face...
Two quarters of an hour later.
In Gushuo, Yang Zhentian and Zhou Xiangru sat on a stone bench around a stone table. Gu Shuo was making tea, and Yi Fan stood behind his master. After Zhou Xiangru introduced both parties, Gu Shuo knew that Zhou Xiangru had not informed Yang Zhentian of his true identity. At this time, Yang Zhentian looked at Gu Shuo with a somewhat surprised look.
He did not see that Gu Shuo was hiding his cultivation. According to his perception, Gu Shuo was in the middle stage of Nascent Soul. But what surprised him was Gu Shuo's temperament, which was not like what a Nascent Soul monk could possess. He even had a feeling that this calmness and naturalness meant that he and Zhou Xiangru, the two perfect gods, were not as good as the moon across from them.
But how is this possible?
Could it be that people who have reached the pinnacle in a certain field will have this kind of temperament. In this way, the mentality of taking the exam emerged. Before Zhou Xiangru could speak, he said:
"Fellow Daoist Yue, I know that you have achieved heights in the alchemy world that others cannot achieve. I have also heard that although you did not take the exam, you are already an alchemy master, and you are still a top-notch one. I have no idea. I don’t doubt that you will become an alchemy master. But brother, I have a few things from my heart that I would like to say to you. Please don’t be offended.”
Gu Shuo was stunned.
What does it mean?
But he still calmly gave Zhou Xiangru and Yang Zhentian a cup of tea: "But it doesn't matter."
"Fellow Daoist Yue can reach such a high level in the field of alchemy. I believe your understanding is absolutely top-notch. And you can also cultivate to the Nascent Soul, which proves that your qualifications and talents are not bad. Why do monks like us practice?"
Seeing Yang Zhentian staring at him, Gu Shuo said, "Please enlighten me."
Yang Zhentian said seriously: "Continuously improving our strength, defeating the demon clan, and regaining the dignity that belongs to our human race, but these are not the true meaning of cultivation."
"What's the real point?"
"eternal life!"
Yang Zhentian's eyes lit up. In fact, he didn't originally want to talk about this with Gu Shuo. These words can't be said to everyone, because if you say it, the other person may not understand or agree. Those with low realms will ridicule in their hearts. This kind of thing must be discussed with people of the same realm and with similar moods, such as the other three gods among the four gods.
This is the circle, this is the level.
However, he met Yue Tonghui today, even though he was only in the middle stage of Nascent Soul. But he felt the temperament of a similar person from the other person.
So I couldn’t help it!
"Fellow Daoist Yue, it can be seen from the level of your alchemy that your understanding is absolutely excellent. And now that you are a Nascent Soul, the main factor in cultivation is understanding. Do you want to waste all your understanding on alchemy? superior?
you! Don’t want to live forever? "
When he asked this question, Gu Shuo felt something in his eyes. He knew that this was because Yang Zhentian regarded him as a friend. Even if he was not a friend, he was still a similar person.
It's very strange between people. Some people stay together for a lifetime, such as brothers in the same discipline. There is nothing in common between two people. But some people just meet each other for the first time, but they feel as if they have known each other for a long time.
This is what Gu Shuo and Yang Zhentian are like now!
Seeing the feelings in Gu Shuo's eyes, Yang Zhentian also slowed down his tone: "Fellow Daoist Yue is a wise person, and the alchemy weapon array is a very necessary supplement and auxiliary in the world of cultivation. But it is only a supplement and auxiliary. Realm No matter how high you are, even if you are an Earth Master, you will look very beautiful and can be on an equal footing with the Great Tribulation Monk.
but!
Is this really the case?
It's just a kind of respect given to them by the monks. Once a conflict breaks out, auxiliary monks such as the Danfu Array have no ability to protect themselves. The key is……"
He sighed: "Eternal life! Don't you yearn for it?"
After saying this sigh, the small courtyard fell silent, and no one spoke. Zhou Xiangru was a little stunned. He didn't expect this meeting at all. Yang Zhentian said such words to Gu Shuo, which were said from the bottom of his heart. In this case, Yang Zhentian has never said a word to him. Yi Fan, who was standing behind him, was dumbfounded.
Is this the exchange between great monks?
But...but...Yue Tonghui is not a great monk!
After a while, Gu Shuo spoke softly: "Fellow Daoist Yang, I want to ask you something. What do you think we should do now?"
Yang Zhentian frowned slowly: "Now? Of course it is to recapture Xifeng Pass. This is also the purpose of Zhou Daoyou and I coming to you today. We want to ask for your opinions."
"No!" Gu Shuo shook his head slightly: "It doesn't matter whether we recapture Xifeng Pass or not. What if we recapture it? What if we don't recapture it? The key now is to overcome the tribulation."
"Above the tribulation?"
"Yes! In fact, the matter is not just about Xifeng Pass. Xifeng Pass is just a microcosm of the struggle between the human race and the monster race. You have to admit that if the conflict between the two races only stops within the scope of Tianxuan, neither race will be able to overcome the calamity. The human race will never be able to exterminate the demon race, and the demon race will never be able to exterminate the human race."
Yang Zhentian thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. But then he frowned again, waiting for Gu Shuo to continue.
There was a slight noise from the street. Since the Dahuang team purchased the property on Zhaobi Street and opened a shop, and because of Gu Shuo's reputation as an excellent alchemist, the business on the entire Zhaobi Street has improved a lot. It was a lot more lively. It makes Zhaobi Street a little more alive.
Gu Shuo's expression became serious: "But it's different when you add the Great Wilderness, because the Great Wilderness has the ability to transcend the tribulation. Decades have passed since the last time the human race fought against the Great Wilderness Ancestor. If the Great Wilderness Ancestor recovers faster, , it is estimated that it will only take another fifty years to regain its peak strength.
At that time, what will the Great Wilderness Patriarch do? "
The atmosphere became stagnant.
"So, what we are thinking about now is not eternal life, that is too far away." Gu Shuo stared at Yang Zhentian: "The current environment does not allow us to think about this. The most critical thing for us at the moment is the ancestor of the Great Wilderness fifty years from now. "
Yang Zhentian's eyes were sharp: "When the time comes, I will just fight to the death. I don't believe that the Great Desolate Ancestor can exterminate our human race."
"Of course not!" Gu Shuo shook his head and said: "Today's Great Wilderness Human Race has not been exterminated. It's just that for the Great Wilderness Human Race, the current living environment is eternal night, and there is no future. Because the Great Wilderness Human Race doesn't even have the Tribulation-Ending Monk. No. Fellow Daoist Yang, in this environment, do you think seeking eternal life is a goal?"
Speaking of this, Gu Shuo couldn't help but sigh: "For the Tianxuan Human Race, what they want right now is to be able to resist the Great Desolate Ancestor."
Yang Zhentian frowned and said: "Fellow Daoist Yue said so, will the elixir talisman array be effective in resisting the Great Desolate Ancestor?"
Gu Shuo said: "Do you think, Fellow Daoist Yang, that within fifty years, there will be someone in the human race who can break through the tribulation?"
Yang Zhentian shook his head decisively: "No!"
Gu Shuo nodded and said: "So you also agree that in terms of mainstream cultivation, it is no longer possible to stop the great ancestor, right?"
Yang Zhentian nodded. Although he didn't want to admit it, this was an undeniable fact.
