Chapter 266 "Give Up, Will You Be Willing?"
In the realm of Wind and Snow City, as the great disciple of the famous Heyang Peak, the old man Teng, Hou Yuanxiang was greatly influenced by his master in this life, the old man Teng valued love and righteousness, and Hou Yuanxiang was the same, after learning what happened from Jiang Nan and Zhao Qian, he admired this scattered cultivator surnamed Lu, and was even more curious about his identity, because until now he couldn't understand how the three ancestors of the Wind and Snow Land Realm could be so respectful to him, and even called him a respectful person.
Hou Yuanxiang was very decent, and when he saw Lu Chen, he first thanked him on behalf of Heyangfeng, and then asked Jiang Nan and Zhao Qian to thank him in person.
Being able to become a disciple of Old Man Teng, Jiang Nan's potential in the Le Ling realm is naturally needless to say, at a young age, he has already made a lot of prestige, and he is more or less proud, when he first saw Lu Chen, he didn't take it to heart, but now, after experiencing the matter of Poison Cloud Mountain, whether it is seeing the Desolate Ancient Formation, or raising his hand to erase the green light, and being respectfully called a respected person by the three ancestors, these are enough to prove that the existence of this scattered cultivation is more complicated than he thought. Much stronger, both in terms of strength and identity.
He was proud, but he also knew about Entubao, and when Zhao Qian thanked him, his clear eyes were a little dodging when Lu Chen, as if he didn't dare to look directly, and he didn't know whether he was ashamed, shy, or something else.
"A little caution is not a respect, and I hope Lu Daoyou will not refuse. As he spoke, Hou Yuanxiang sent a rather beautiful storage bag.
"Okay!" Lu Chen accepted it very happily, as for what was in the storage bag, he didn't look at it, and he didn't bother to look at it, so he accepted it. is because he knows that if he refuses, the other party will not give up, rather than tossing like this, it is better to accept it directly and save trouble.
Hou Yuanxiang looked quite stunned when he saw him accept it so neatly, not surprised. It's just that I'm a little unaccustomed to it, because even if ordinary people really want to accept it, they will be polite. I didn't expect this guy to accept it so happily, and his evaluation of Lu Chen in his heart was one point higher.
This time, it's not just for Lu Chen. It was also for Yan Yuhuan, the two of them had already known each other, Hou Yuanxiang said with a smile, "Brother Yan, I said goodbye last time, but it's been more than a hundred years!" He still clearly remembered that he and Yan Yuhuan met more than a hundred years ago, when Yan Yuhuan was still a disciple of Yantian Sect, and they happened to meet each other when they went out to practice, and they became friends. However, since Yan Yuhuan left the Yantian Sect and served as the elder of the Qixia Sect under the sect, the two have never met again.
Yan Yuhuan went to Yantian Sect this time, and when he passed by here, he also wanted to meet his old friend by the way, and said with a smile. "Yes, a hundred years have passed, and it has passed so fast. ”
"You kid, if it weren't for the unsealing of the Yantian Sect, I thought you would never have taken half a step out of the Qixia Sect. ”
After leaving the Great Sect to serve as the Elder of the Seven Xia Sect, he has not taken half a step out of the Seven Xia Sect for more than a hundred years, and the reasons for this are somewhat complicated, one of which is that he has not been able to shape the Dharma Body for hundreds of years. made him disheartened, first, he was also tired of those worldly competitions for fame and fortune, and he was deceitful.
The two were chatting, and suddenly a white glimmer flew from the void, which was a kind of light of the spirit talisman, which contained a touch of divine thought of the user, which should have come to find Hou Yuanxiang, he reached out and grabbed it, sensing a touch of divine thought in the light of the spirit talisman.
"Brother Hou, if there is something urgent, you better go back first, we will come for a long time. ”
"This, to be honest, tomorrow is the day when my master will hold the 700th birthday banquet, and I am really busy. Hou Yuanxiang invited, "Brother Yan, you must come tomorrow." ”
"Hehe! Old Man Teng's 700th birthday banquet, how can I, as a junior, not congratulate me, don't worry, I will arrive on time tomorrow. ”
"Lu Daoyou. Hou Yuanxiang walked over, hugged his fists and said, "If it is convenient tomorrow, I will also invite Taoist friends to visit our Heyang Peak as a guest, and after my master heard about this, I also want to thank you in person." ”
The reason why Lu Chen came to Wind and Snow City was just to meet his old friend Yan Yuhuan, he was not interested in other things, and was about to refuse, Yan Yuhuan smiled and said, "Brother Lu, are you free tomorrow?"
"It's not like that. ”
"Haha, in that case, Brother Lu might as well go to Heyang Peak with me tomorrow, and we can have a drink at that time, but I know that Hou Yuanxiang, this kid, has a lot of treasured wine, but I don't know if he is willing to give it up!"
"Hahaha! Brother Yan still understands me, Lu Daoyou, don't postpone it any longer, tomorrow you come with Brother Fang, I'll Hou Yuanxiang definitely take out all the treasured wine, I can drink as much as I want, I'm afraid you won't be able to finish it!"
Lu Chen has no interest in Heyang Peak, but he likes wine very much, and when he heard about the wine, he was a little greedy at the moment, and even those dark eyes were as bright as an abyss, and he didn't think about it, he responded directly.
Seeing that Lu Chen agreed, Hou Yuanxiang was in a good mood, when it came to wine, he seemed to be an expert, and chatted with Lu Chen and Yan Yuhuan for a while, until the second light of the spirit rune flew in, and then he was willing to leave.
Lu Chen looked at the three people who left and said with a smile, "It seems that this guy is a good drinker." ”
"Hahaha! Brother Lu, don't you know, this Hou Yuanxiang used to be an alcoholic, but then he almost lost his life because of drunkenness, so he quit drinking, this wine quit, but he can't forget it, so he began to collect fine wine, in his words, although the master forbade him to drink, but it is still okay to smell the wine. ”
"Hah! This man has some meaning. ”
As soon as the conversation box opened, the two chatted, when he heard that Lu Chen was going to join Yantian Sect this time, Yan Yuhuan was really shocked, just like Huo Yun's doubts at that time, the nine sects in the world, among which the Yantian Sect is the weakest, the general casual cultivators will choose to join the other eight sects, and only when they are rejected by the other eight sects will they consider the Yantian Sect, and when asked the reason, Lu Chen just said that the Yantian Sect is suitable for him.
Regarding Lu Chen, Yan Yuhuan had a lot of doubts in his heart, such as his cultivation had just stepped into the realm of the law, but when he was in Poison Cloud Mountain, he was able to let the green light that trapped him collapse and disperse when he raised his hand, such as the fragments of the Ancient Formation on Poison Cloud Mountain, Yan Yuhuan couldn't detect it before, and even after that, how did he know? For example, Lu Chen's casual display of brilliance, hiding their aura, even the three ancestors couldn't detect it, such as why the three ancestors respectfully called him a respectful person, and so on, there are too many doubts, but these doubts involve a person's **, Yan Yuhuan is not good to ask.
And Lu Chen was not as polite as him, and asked, "Brother Yan, I heard that you used to be a disciple of the Yantian Sect, and you have never been able to shape the Law Body, so you will go to the Qixia Sect to serve as an elder, yes."
Is that so?"
Yan Yuhuan also thought that Lu Chen was probing Yan Tianzong's rules, and immediately explained, "Brother Lu, don't get me wrong, it's true that I haven't been able to shape the Law Body for hundreds of years, but going to the Qixia Sect to serve as an elder of the Gong Transmission Sect is completely proposed by myself, and other major sects may have this rule, but our Yantian Sect will definitely not demote you to the sect because you can't break through." ”
For Yantian Sect, how could Lu Chen not be clear, what he really wanted to ask was not this, but to know if Yan Yuhuan had given up his own path of cultivation, but this question was more sensitive, he was worried that it would arouse Yan Yuhuan's emotions, so it was not good to ask directly, after thinking about it, he still decided to ask, "Brother Yan, ask you a question, don't mind." ”
"Brother Lu is outside, you saved my life, what do you mind. ”
"Are you really going to give up your practice?"
Lu Chen's question was asked more abruptly, and Yan Yuhuan didn't seem to expect him to ask this, he was slightly stunned, and then smiled, "Don't hide it from Brother Lu, if it was before, if you asked me this question, I'm afraid I wouldn't answer you, but now...... Hehe, I've already thought about it, my creation is like this, my life is like this, and it's not a bad thing for me that my cultivation path ends here. ”
"How?"
"The road of cultivation, against the sky, not to talk about the path to the immortal, even if this long road of cultivation, which is also full of tribulations, countless calamities, a slight difference, is broken bones, collapse and disappear, this road, not only to fight with people, with demons, with ghosts, but also with the sky, with their own fighting, losing once, is equivalent to losing all, there is no second chance, besides, in the end, even if the cultivation is to achieve perfection, the legendary catastrophe, how many people can survive?"
After a pause, Yan Yuhuan sighed and continued, "I once saw a peerless genius who was rare in heaven and earth, and reached consummation with the power of destroying the withering and decaying, but in the end, the tribulation failed...... It's really a pity, and it's even more deplorable!"
Lu Chen shook his head, smiled a little helplessly, and asked, "Give up, will you be willing?"
"At the beginning, I may be a little unwilling, but after a long time, it fades, and sometimes it is a mistake to think about giving up, at least for me, I gave up my practice, but I didn't give up my life, and now I teach a few apprentices, which makes me feel that it is also a kind of practice. ”
Yan Yuhuan's answer made Lu Chen a little surprised, and said, "If you can shape the Dharma Body one day, will you continue to cultivate?" With Lu Chen's current ability, it is not difficult to help Yan Yuhuan shape the Dharma Body, but then? Shaping the Dharma Body is not equal to consummation, the path of cultivation is only half of the journey, and the road in the future is still long, Lu Chen can help Yan Yuhuan shape the Dharma Body, but he is not sure to help him survive the catastrophe.
If you don't have absolute certainty, don't give the other party hope, because the pain of disappointment is more unbearable than death, not to mention that Yan Yuhuan is very happy to live now, if he is given hope, in case of any calamity in the path of cultivation, it will really hurt him.
"Shaping the Dharma Body? hehe...... Brother Lu, I'm not talking big to you, even if I shape the Dharma Body now, I don't have the heart to re-enter the path of cultivation, now I am living a very satisfied life, my life has been satisfied, what more can I ask for. ”
