Vol 9 Chapter 1117: Men will yield, but swords will not
The Taoist sang a long song, "At four o'clock in the spring at the foot of Luofu Mountain, Luju and bayberry are new one after another. I eat three hundred lychees a day, and I will never quit my job as a Lingnan native."
On that day, Sedum and his party were rescued by the Iron Crown Taoist Su Dongpo, and the long whale had reached Qiongzhou. They lived in the hermit valley outside the city of Yazhou, Qiongbei, to cultivate.
Speaking of Tieguan Taoist priests, they can be regarded as the leading generation in the arena. This gentleman is unparalleled in talent, talented and intelligent, and he has cultivated unparalleled magic power for forty years after entering Taoism. Legend has it that when he was young, he was transformed into a disciple by an old Taoist, and he traveled around the world with his teacher. After returning home, he is still an unbearable and leisurely temperament. He is away from home all year round, and he will take care of the road when he sees injustice. Because of his extraordinary swordsmanship, he is mature and thoughtful in handling things. Every time he makes a shot, he can always save people from fire and water, and gradually he becomes chivalrous. fame.
This gentleman has an indifferent and lazy temperament, is content with poverty and is happy, and does not care about fame and fortune in the world, but the most important thing in life is to satisfy his appetite. Everywhere he went, he would first ignore the three-seven-two-one, and enjoy the local famous snacks, specialty fruits and vegetables, and then settle down.
Seafood in Qiongzhou area is always new, and Taoist Tieguan is especially fond of shellfish. He can eat ten catties of oyster meat in one meal, and the oyster shells are piled up like a rockery in front of the house. He goes to the beach every morning, and makes an agreement with the fisherman to buy several kilograms of fresh scallops of various colors, either in the noon or in the evening. In the meantime, he went to the city to purchase dried fruits and vegetables to reward the guests.
Sedum and others followed Su Dongpo to eat and drink well, and they were full of moisture. This gentleman is not only delicious, but also has a good cook. The cooking method captures the essence of the Quartet cuisine, whether it is Jiangsu and Zhejiang flavors, thick oil red sauce, or desert Saibei, stewed and grilled, and even pasta in Guanzhong, delicious food in Qilu, Sichuan and Sichuan. Baiwei, snacks in Guangdong and Guangxi, are all at your fingertips. The simple and natural ingredients used in its dishes are even more commendable. The selected ingredients are all local products, which are the things that people rely on to support their lives.
Taoist Iron Crown returned to the Hermitage Valley with a bag of sea crabs and a basket of Lingnan lychees. At this time, Sedum was instructing Lu's daughter to practice kendo. As for the two little thieves, after they escaped from danger, they returned to their old ways and became Laziness, although it will not be abandoned, but the progress is really small, has been evaluated by Sedum as a duo of dead wood and dirt.
"Jing Xiaoyou, don't be too busy, let your good disciple come over to help out."
The girl of the Lu family smiled while holding the sword, and when Jingtian nodded, she put away the water thorn and went to meet the Taoist Tieguan.
"Master Su, what delicious dishes are you going to prepare today?"
"Steamed crabs are the most delicious." Su Dongpo lifted the lid of the fish basket, and there were indeed many lively sea crabs crawling back and forth, "It is said that crabs are fat in August, but now it is September, the weather is still hot, and the female crabs are not yielding. It is rare for male crabs to be sterile and plump. This is a natural disaster, but it is also a blessing for the common people. I am afraid that we will not be able to eat such fat crabs in the future."
Lu's daughter sneered: "Master Su, you said that this blessing is for the laity, don't you want to eat alone?"
Taoist Tieguan laughed heartily, nodded at her, did not speak, and walked to the stove first, followed by Lu's daughter, who gave the two thieves a wink before leaving.
After Su and Lu entered the kitchen, Mushan and He Biping entangled Sedum and asked him to teach him more about swordsmanship.
Seeing that Sedum was taken away, Lu's daughter asked the Taoist Tieguan while helping the cook, "Master Su, according to your knowledge, is the teacher really helpless?"
Dongpo cooks without saying a word.
Lu's daughter repeatedly pleaded with sincerity and grief, before he opened his mouth, "I said this early in the morning, this is a disorder of the soul, what is the benefit of medicine? No amount of medical skills can cure it. , Bone and meat, lack of one will cut off vitality. Since Liu Zong banned the reincarnation of the six realms, the souls of the human world embrace each other, so apart from natural disabilities, there are very few people with soul defects, and no one will bother to study the soul-building soul. In my opinion, the only way is to find a foolish person and draw his seven souls to fill the vacancy. But this is really a magic trick. Not only does it hurt innocent people, but if the one really heals him, it will be the same in the future. become grotesque."
"That's no help."
"It's just that there is no salvation." Taoist Tieguan sighed, "Little Housheng, you should relax, who in the world is not dead?"
"It's okay to die, but Master, he lives like this, but it makes me sadder than death."
"How does he live? Zi is not a fish. Look at him."
Lady Lu turned her head to look back, her benefactor stood upright on the ground, without a trace of humanity. No matter whether an ordinary person is moving or still, there are some small movements, such as akimbo, or arched back, tilted head, or scratched back, all of which can indicate the mood of the person. But Sedum didn't have these conditions, he just stood there and didn't move again, walking was walking, not looking forward to lust.
"Master's situation is getting worse and worse." Seeing his dead ashes, Lu's daughter couldn't help but feel sad.
"Afterlife, what you said is wrong. Do you know what it means to be 'death to a human being'?"
Lu's woman said with eyebrows, "This sentence is recorded in "Lie Zi", which is Yang Zi's answer to Yang Bu's question of 'someone...year brother...and Shouyao father and son', quoted from "The Book of the Yellow Emperor". Can a teacher like this be called a perfect person? My concubine would not agree."
Dongpo laughed, "The truth of practice is sometimes confirmed with the words of the former sages. The most people know, but your benefactor is ignorant now. He has no feelings or wisdom to know about the things in the world. Because of this, his mana is as silent as stagnant water."
The Lu family's daughter said in surprise, "The master has mana?
"This is a very bright and excellent state for recuperating and refining Qi!" The Taoist Tieguan sighed, "You Dao is a dead heart and a spirit alive, but now his heart is like a vast desert, his body is like a void, although he is ignorant and ignorant. Feeling, no thoughts and no thoughts, but he is condensing his true essence all the time. The so-called misfortune and blessing lie, if one day he can make up for the shortcomings of the seven souls, he will surely achieve the unparalleled magic power overnight.
"The world can have such diligence and good fortune, it is necessary to comprehend the extremely mysterious sword meaning. Each of the nine true traditions of the Shenjian sect has this ability; Kunlun's flying immortals are slightly inferior; Qingcheng's phaseless mirror sword Wonderful and unparalleled; a hundred years ago, the unknown monk of Baima Temple comprehends Sekong Miao Zen, which is still popular today; there is also the immeasurable Qi root of Huang Huangzi, the great monster of Yunzhou, whose mana is as vast as the sky and Han hanging upside down; Wuji; Luofu Mountain's original scattered people's life and destruction of colored glaze has a new way, double cultivation of Dharma and body, body like a diamond that is not broken, hidden swords in shape, frightened by fingers, also listed as the ultimate Dharma meaning.
"For four hundred years in the Six Realms, hundreds of millions of sentient beings hurriedly come to the red dust to roll around, but there are only fifteen supreme sword intents, and most of them are inherited from the Divine Sword Sect."
The lady of the Lu family praised in a low voice, "The concubine lives in a deep boudoir, and she also admires the greatness of the world. There are so many heroes. I wish I could become famous all over the world with a single swordsmanship and pass it on to a hundred generations. However, after this difficulty, it is known that the avenue is more than a thousand high. Renshan, the red dust is like a snowstorm, how difficult it is to climb! However, my concubine is sincerely determined to open another unparalleled inheritance for the world, and this life is not worth a dream of a hero."
Taoist Tieguan looked at it differently, "You deserve to be favored by the Divine Sword disciples, you are so arrogant."
"Master Su, what do you mean by this? The master is actually a disciple of the Divine Sword?"
"You have a tutor, but he never promised to accept you as an apprentice, right? Because this person has not yet graduated, so he can't open the door to accept apprentices."
"Master recognizes the tutor?"
"Since he doesn't tell you, he has his own difficulties. The old Taoist will not overstep his duties." After a few words, the Iron Crown Taoist leaned in front of the steaming tray and sniffed the aroma, "The crab is about to be cooked, wait for half a cup of tea, the taste is the best. Little After the crab vinegar has been adjusted, can the rice wine be warmed?"
Lu's daughter was very thoughtful, but her hands and feet were also quick. The **** vinegar was boiled in the small mud stove, and she threw a few rock sugar to mix the fire, so that the mouth was soft and sour, and it could best support the crab flavor. The rice wine is placed in a tin pot and scalded with hot water. The rice, steamed sausage, and simmered oysters in the other pots and stoves are also gradually getting warmer, and the same is steaming. Lu's daughter's cooking is like a sword, she is busy but not chaotic, her daughter's family is careful, and she has never missed anything, she still has time to ask questions, "Master Su, you said just now that only the supreme swordsmanship can make a thousand miles in a day, and the family will be able to make a living. The teacher is so scattered now, could it be that he has made a mistake and collided with the true meaning?"
"Ordinary people's seven souls are separated, and they will only be stupid, how can they be so diligent!"
"Why is that teacher... Could it be?!"
Taoist Tieguan stroked his beard and smiled, "That's right, the sixteenth peerless sword intent in the world was created by this person. It was also because of this supreme sword intent that he was able to be in harmony with his mind, and his practice was like an empty space, look. It seems rigid, but in fact it is deeply hidden.”
"Is there such a thing?!" Lu's daughter was surprised and delighted for a while.
Su Dongpo stared at the sedum in front of the house, but the feeling in his heart was unspeakable. He had already guessed that this person was the culprit who was famous in the Six Realms a few months ago. According to legend, he was the reincarnation of a **** in the sky. Sword Intent, its mystery and essence, was admitted by Yun Zong himself, and he was truly an extraordinary genius. How miserable it was when it crashed into Tianzhu that day? What kind of prestige was that day when he turned back on the Qingluan Peak to suppress the demons? Now, in the blink of an eye, it is in the wild, and it can be said that its prosperity is also flourishing, and its death is also sudden. Some people are mediocre all their lives, drifting with the tide. After all, among the old and dead, some people are like shooting stars, and they are all over the world. Can its people regroup again, another generation coquettish? Only God knows!
Sedum cultivated in the Hermit Valley, and practiced swordsmanship every day, honing his physique to be lean and strong. He stood like a dead bamboo. Although he was indifferent, he still had a passion for swordsmanship. Not quite the walking dead. It's just that now, not only is his emotion indifferent, but even his memory is gradually fading, because he can no longer feel the slightest feeling of the scene in his memory, so these thoughts are like sand in the wind, flowing into a bottomless valley, No more echoes.
Seeing that September was coming to an end, Taoist Iron Crown took the big fish brain to Kunlun to deliver it. On the way, he wanted to find a reincarnation place for this ancient creature who died in vain. , he knew that this disaster seemed to be caused by sedum, but in fact it was the conflict between heaven and man. The immortals want to destroy the human world and obstruct the four-hundred-year plan of the Divine Sword Sect. This is the real doom. When I think about this, I look back on the world again, and I still can't help sighing.
Daoist Tieguan removed a Shinto demon and rescued a group of exiles in the southern Xinjiang generation. They were abducted here by the demon, controlled by the trick of Shinto confusion, and worshipped the poor innocent people who worshiped incense, Iron Crown. The Taoist gave them a ride along the way and took them back to their hometowns. There was a young lady in this group of people who was pregnant with Liujia, so he put the soul of the whale into the woman's arms, and when the fetus was born, he would come back to enter the Dao.
It was only 11 days since he went to Kunlun, and when he turned back to Qiongya, he brought a piece of news, a big news.
Divine Sword Gate opens the illusion of three worlds to choose the next generation leader. Heroes from all over the world can go and try their skills. If they succeed, they can take charge of the divine weapon.
Taoist Tieguan said bluntly, and asked Jingtian and others to attend the meeting.
The Lu family's daughter was still puzzled, "Master Su, my concubine has heard that the leaders of the Excalibur Sect are leading the group and preside over the great formation. Now is the critical moment. It's like a battle between the two armies. The first immortal, the swordsman of Shenmen Chu, the prestige and cultivation of senior Chu are all the best in the six realms, and he can give orders to the world, and he will not dare to obey.
"This is also helpless. There are rumors that Sect Master Chu was injured by evil, and now his strength is not as good as before."
Lu's daughter was horrified when she heard the words, "Is this true?!"
"I think it's true." Taoist Tieguan couldn't help but smile when he saw the little woman in front of him with a sad and terrified expression, "It's better to practice your own swordsmanship instead of worrying about those gods. What kind of person is Master Truman, she is water. Han Lingsha, the master of the empty sword, passed it on personally, and her own feet are also very extraordinary, and her cultivation base is earth-shattering, even if it is not as good as before, it is not easy to reach.
"Then why choose a new owner?"
Su Dongpo pondered for a moment, "Pin Dao went to Kunlun to send things to mend the sky. I heard the seniors there and only knew a rough idea. It is said that there is an extra number one figure in the cult of Shinto, named Chu Bihen, who is related to Chumen. The twin sister with the same life as the master, if she died, the master of the Chu family would not be able to escape the limit, so it would be a helpless move to change the commander before the battle. Furthermore, there is a inheritance of Han Zong's law in the illusion of the three worlds, if you can get it, The greatness of the Six Realms is invincible, and if such a person can inherit the great power, there will be no obstacle to changing the sky."
Lu's daughter nodded, "In this way, this time at the Divine Sword Sect inheritance ceremony, it must be a meeting of the wind and clouds. The concubine is just trying to witness the heroic demeanor of the human world. I wonder if I can have a place in the world for a concubine with the sword in my hand?"
Su Dongpo said casually, "It's best if you can hold on to this qi. Sword practitioners are different from others. Taoists keep the truth, monks keep the emptiness, and qi practitioners talk about the mystical Tao, and the swordsmen all depend on one breath. Under the ten earths, the nine heavens, the six worlds, the four seas, if you don't have this spirit, you will not be able to practice in your life."
The daughter of the Lu family smiled, "When you ride the winds of thousands of miles, no one in the world knows it. Master Su's teachings will be kept in mind by the concubine."
With such news concerning the general situation of the Six Realms, the two thieves who were listening on the side were already dumbfounded, and Sedum didn't say a word.
Taoist Tieguan secretly noticed that Sedum naturally still looked like a dead heart, but there seemed to be a thoughtful look in the eyes of the original clay body and wood plastic. It seemed that he was not unintentional after all.
"Fellow Daoist, your female apprentice is ready to attend the meeting, what are your plans?"
To go or not to go.
Sedum either goes or doesn't.
The Taoist Tieguan was silent, the Lady Lu was silent, the fat thief was silent, and the thin thief was silent too.
Does it matter whether Sedum goes or not? Maybe it's unimportant, he's just a **** who has lost his cultivation base now. If he goes to the meeting, what will change?
What is Sedum thinking at the moment in the empty heart like a vast void?
Has he ever thought of the old days, when the young man was full of vigor and vigour?
Remember the girl in red under the triple snow in Yuzhou?
Do you still remember the broken Solanum sword, the cuckoo wailed and condensed into a tear?
How about sooner? The little guy Yong An was a child, lost his trust in childhood, lost his parents when he was a teenager, and grew up alone. Before he met the Tang family girl, he didn't feel happy for a day. When he came out, he got the sword of courage, and he knew that he was the reincarnation of a god. He also imagined that this was an opportunity for him to soar into the sky, but such an adventure never brought him any benefits, only bad luck.
As a divine general, he is destined to be inexorable, just a dog in the realm of the gods.
This fate is heavy, like iron, like mountains, like clouds of lead, and he can't see the slightest hope. All he wanted was the life of an ordinary person, but he couldn't get it.
Sedum's whole body is all based on his cultivation. As long as he is still the Splendid Sword Master, he can be treated with respect by the world, and there is a chance to make up for his mistakes. When this last bit of proud cultivation skills are also far away. When he left, Sedum was finally no longer that Sedum, but a lonely guest with a pseudonym Nineteen.
How far do you have to go and how much suffering you have to endure before you can live freely?
Sedum didn't say a word, turned around and left despite being held back, wandering alone in the storm of thousands of miles. He climbed the Caiwei Mountain in the east of the Hermit Valley, and stared at the endless sea in the north. , it is Manman Kyushu.
Divine Sword Gate, Three Worlds Illusion... Tang Xuejian...
I have stood on the promontory, and the past has paid off.
"Emperor."
The daughter of the Lu family stood behind him, the wind was blowing, and their hair was trembling like flags.
The thunder in the distance is sullen, the heat between heaven and earth is fumigated, and the sea hurricane is increasing day by day.
The storm is not about to come, but it will not stop.
Sedum's eyes reflected the sea of raging waves hitting the sky, but his hands did not tremble.
"Emperor!" said Lu's daughter again, "Let's go to Shenjianmen together. Sword cultivators are brave and diligent. I want to see the swords of the world. Let the world see the swords you taught me. , don't you miss Shimen?"
Sedum no longer has all the joys and sorrows about Shenjianmen and about her. Returning to Divine Sword Sect will only continue the painful fate. This time he doesn't even have the strength to fight, so why bother to humiliate himself?
"Emperor... You are not heartbroken. I know that you are the ultimate sword immortal in the contemporary era. How can you be so depressed as a man with unfulfilled ambitions? Why don't you let the world remember your sword?"
Sedum didn't answer, there was nothing in his mind.
Lu's daughter is gone.
After she left, the second thief came.
"Teacher Nineteen, we brought you wine."
Sedum turned around and took the wine jar and wine bowl. The folk customs in Qiongya area are fierce and simple, and the wine they make is also simple and direct. Although there are not many famous wines, there are many good wines. He slowly drank a whole jar of mountain hurdle wine, and was so drunk that his eyes glowed with gold stars, and he could no longer stand in the wind. He slowly sat down and sat on the edge of the cliff.
"Then what, teacher, you have told us a lot of truths, we have thought about it, there is no obstacle in the world." The fat thief scratched his head, he no longer calls himself a fat family, although it is a very interesting word, but always It was a bandit, but he still called Sedum the teacher, "Uh, the teacher, we have come here in the wind and waves, and now we're just going to the Divine Sword Gate for dinner, what's there to be afraid of."
Why Ping Ping together: That's it.
"Teacher, we are a manly man, why can't we let that little girl compare."
He Biping: It can't be compared.
"Teacher, why don't we join in, anyway, Yujian goes back and forth very quickly, if you feel uncomfortable, let's come back right away. Brush it up, it will be there soon, and you won't be able to use a single meal. The food is not to my taste, so let's rush back and make one by ourselves before we go back."
He Biping: It's too late.
"Teacher, that's what I think, Master Su said, it's not a big deal, and it's not a small thing. You see, I and He Shouzi are very talented? Let's go and see Then what is Lao Shizi's illusion to break into, maybe it will be sent back to Li Shi, then the ancestors praised him and passed it on to us!"
Why do you have to be serious with your face: our sincerity can show the sun and the moon.
Sedum listened to their muddle-headed rambles, persuading him like a child to eat, even for such a cold and bitter character, he couldn't hold back a bit, and a sentence came out of his empty heart at this moment: You two are so funny .
The two thieves also left. They were tired of persuading, because Sedum didn't say a word, and they couldn't find a way to cure him with their years of professional experience.
As soon as they left, Su Dongpo came.
"It's very windy." Taoist Tieguan stared at the turbid waves and the wind, his face was flat, "Daoist Jingtian, in this situation, don't you want to express your feelings freely and sing a poem?"
Sedum looked back and looked at Su Dongpo flatly, "This name has nothing to do with me."
"Jinxiu, it's a really good name. Master Dao, I'm arrogant about both poetry and swordsmanship, but I didn't realize such a dharma intent to mediate and mediate good offices. You are a layman who doesn't know a bunch of big characters, but you have this at a young age. How can people not be jealous of God’s preference?”
Sedum didn't say anything.
"You know, I went to Kunlun and met a person." Taoist Tieguan said to himself, "Not many major events have happened recently. Every day in the rivers and lakes, young heroes become famous overnight, but whether it is Penglaidu The swordsman, the monk of the White Horse Temple Chengdeng, and even the real man of the Excalibur Xiluan, who has been famous for many years, they are not as good as a woman. She is really a majestic woman. She holds the Shaoyin Shangxing Sword in her hand, and a great withering glory. Xiu died of sadness. Everyone in the world said that the next Divine Sword Sect Master was chosen between her and the contemporary chief Shi Renxiong.”
"She's already amazing." Sedum didn't move, just spoke, and his tone didn't change at all.
"She looked everywhere but couldn't find you."
"…"
"She's waiting for you."
"She doesn't have to wait for a cripple."
Su Dongpo smiled lightly and pointed to the rotten iron sword tied to Sedum's waist. This was a rotten iron that didn't even have a sheath, but he praised, "Good sword. Unfortunately, it's dusty now."
"It feels good to be dusty."
"The seven souls are lacking, and the seven emotions fade away, so what? You are so depressed, have you asked about the sword on your waist? Does it promise?"
"How about promise, how about not promise?"
"It never promised. If even it did, you'd be a dead person right now. If you live, your splendid Dharma will give you a breath. As long as you don't lose your breath, you won't die. It’s not that you don’t care about anything, otherwise why would you practice the sword every day and compare yourself to the Foolish Old Man?”
Sedum smiled lightly, but he suddenly smiled, "Yes, it didn't agree. I let it down."
The so-called Divine Sword means using God to control the sword. Because of this God, I am not afraid of the truth of suffering in the world, and the rolling rivers cannot bury this heart.
Men will yield, but swords will not.
"Let's go to the meeting."
…
On the first day of the tenth lunar month, the Xiayuan Festival, the heroes outside the Divine Sword Valley gathered.
In the vast sea of people, the woman in red was chatting with her classmates in a low voice. She came from Manman in the valley. Anyone who saw her would bow their hands and say goodbye. People at that time all praised her refined style and outstanding appearance.
Tang Xuejian is now familiar with dealing with people, she is polite and serious, without breaking the rules in the slightest, but she refuses people thousands of miles away. Her heart is empty, empty is the three-foot snow, Huang Quan's old friend.
There is an endless stream of people who come to Divine Sword Sect to fight for the Tao, and no one wants to inherit the position of Sect Master, not to mention the peerless inheritance of Dharma intent hidden in the illusion. Even at the end of the calamity, the world is still bustling with hustle and bustle, going for profit.
Tang Xuejian met with the monks of Baima Temple, and said goodbye to the brothers from Kunlun. All the famous sects of the human world gathered here to celebrate the grand event. Divine Sword disciples not only have to receive visitors, but also have to beware of the evil spirits who are lurking among them.
Suddenly, a group of four came across, headed by the famous Iron Crown Taoist priest.
"I have seen Senior Su, and Senior's style is better than before."
"Tang Daoyou, one day's difference is like three autumns."
They laughed and said goodbye, and each walked into the crowd.
Who is on the other side? Meet and don't know each other.
Tang Xue suddenly looked back, only to see a thin and thin back gradually drifting away, like a dead bamboo in the vast desert, hidden in the wind and sand, without a trace.
