Chapter 2 The chaos of the world is the peak
The Lotus Hall generation of innate martial arts masters almost didn't give their criminals a death of anger. But fortunately, I got used to it, I got used to everything, and I had the ability to resist pressure, and I didn't have a cerebral hemorrhage all of a sudden.
"Amitabha, Sun Gu, don't speak, and listen to the teacher. ”
Lotus's face slowly became a little solemn, so that Sun Gu's smiling face also retracted, and he sat cross-legged opposite the old monk, quieting down and listening to him.
"I didn't bother to inquire about the origin of you and your mother, but I still know it. With a look of pity, Lotus looked at the disciple who had been with her for eight years, and her tone was flat.
Sun Gu originally hated others looking at him with pity, if it was someone else, he would definitely scold him and beat him: "Old Sun Sun Gu, never need mercy!" But this is a lotus, an old monk, his eyes are pitiful and soft, like a hot spring in winter, so that he can only be silent, unable to show other emotions.
"Idiot, this world is not fair, therefore, the Buddha said, all beings are equal, so there are so many good men and women who are willing to believe in this and take refuge in our Buddha. This is nothing but an unattainable hope in the world. ”
"Once, I also held such hopes, so I did not leave this world, even if this world is pickled and rancid, I am still willing to find this glimmer of hope in the pure land of the Buddha. ”
Now it seems that the old monk has found such a glimmer of hope. ”
The old monk looked at Sun Gu quietly, and there was a smile like enlightenment on his originally stiff and cold face.
Sun Gu wanted to laugh at him, but he felt his face stiff, so he pursed his lips and turned his head.
"Is it your turn to tell me a story today?"
The old monk smiled, shook his head, rubbed the thin little yellow book with his palm, and said: "The story of the old monk is more or less told to you, but the rest is just to increase sadness, and it is meaningless for the old monk to tell you. Since he is already outside the square, all grievances and hatreds are just laughed at. ”
"You grew up in the mountains and don't know anything about the outside world, but you have to go out eventually, so what the old monk wants to tell you today is the world outside the mountains. ”
Master Lotus stopped talking, as if organizing the language, and after a while, Fang said: "Now, the outside world is a troubled time, you are from Fufeng County, you should know that there are three major families in Fufeng County, namely the Wang family, the Xie family and your Sun family. The Sun family is the weakest, and the Wang family is the strongest. Fufeng County belonged to the Great Jin Dynasty, and the Great Jin Dynasty, bounded by Yunshui, occupied eight counties and nineteen states in the south. The north, on the other hand, is more extensive, three times the size of the south. It's just that although the northern region is vast, the people are not aligned, and there are more than a dozen large and small countries, and most of them are uncivilized barbarians. ”
Master Lotus narrowed his eyes and recalled carefully.
"About two hundred years ago, a major event happened in the inner gate of the 'Tianxia Society', a brilliant inner disciple was expelled from the mountain gate, although he was expelled from the mountain gate before he had already turned into a cultivator, but soon, with his will, he re-cultivated the martial arts, and found another way, out of a new path, and reached the highest level of secular martial arts - the Breaking Sky Realm. So he returned to his family, and in less than fifty years, for the Sima family of that year, he destroyed more than a dozen innate great masters of the Cao clan of Wei and seized the world. It is for today's Great Jin Dynasty. ”
This man became even more ambitious and wanted to dominate the world. Led the Great Jin Iron Cavalry and launched a large-scale Northern Expedition. At this time, there was also a hero in the north, who single-handedly stopped the man in Tiannan County, and the two sat down and discussed, and then faced off, on the top of Cangwu Mountain, the sword was discussed for three days and three nights, and finally caused a catastrophe. ”
"Apocalypse?"
Sun Gu was speechless, his head was almost confused, what is it? There is actually a Heavenly Tribulation in this world? Martial Arts has reached a high and profound realm, and it can actually cause a Heavenly Tribulation? Is this the world of cultivation?
Lianhua looked at Sun Gu's expression and smiled: "Is it strange? Actually, you should know that in this world, in addition to us worldly ants, there are also some high-ranking immortal sects, just like the 'Tianxia Society' I just said, which is the Xiuzhen sect located in Liangzhou County." ”
"Is it really a cultivation world?"
Sun Gu's face became extremely weird, he thought about his origin, calmed down again, and continued to listen to the old monk's explanation.
"The world is chaotic, and the immortals are the peak!"
"The Immortal Dao sect is not polluted with vulgarity, if there is interference in the vulgar things, a catastrophe will turn into ashes. For thousands of years, except for the most ordinary people, in fact, martial arts families and royal families of various countries have known this secret that is not a secret, but everyone has kept it secret. ”
"What's more, unless the Immortal Dao Sect 'opens the mountain gate and accepts the immortal fate', you will not be able to see the slightest hint of your princes and generals, and the thousand-year-old family. ”
Master Lotus smiled at the corner of his mouth, and his tone was embarrassed.
"Now you know how strong those two are. Their martial arts cultivation actually made the Heavenly Tribulation think that they were immortal people, and only then did they send down the heavenly thunder, and what was even more terrifying was that these two people actually survived the Heavenly Tribulation at the same time, although they were seriously injured and dying, but they did not die after all!"
Sun Gu was speechless, what kind of monsters these two guys were, they could actually carry the catastrophe, they were already inhuman beings.
Although they did not die under the catastrophe, the man was seriously injured, and the Northern Expedition could only be stranded, so he led the army back to Jiankang and retreated to recuperate for fifty years. Under his prestige, his family grew stronger and stronger, and his son finally gave birth to the idea of replacing Sima. ”
"But at this time, in a dark corner, someone came out with the news that the man was seriously injured and had been seated ten years ago. It was this news that made all the families who were pressed under the prestige of this person ready to move, including the Sima family, who was favored by him and won the country. ”
"One day thirty years ago, in Jiankang City of the Great Jin Dynasty, a long-planned turmoil quietly occurred, and that person's family was uprooted by more than a dozen families of the Great Jin Dynasty overnight, men, women and children, were all cut off. ”
"Until the death of the man's family, the man did not appear, and then all the people were convinced with fear that the man was already dead. ”
Speaking of this, the muscles on Lotus's face twitched, and a look of pain suddenly flashed in her eyes.
"That night...... Those who died, except for the man's family, and all the generals who had a relationship with the man's family, almost all of them, died. In Jiankang City that night, the blood and qi condensed for a long time, and even the moon was red. ”
The lotus flower closed her eyes and silently recited the scriptures for a long time.
Sun Gu knew that perhaps the old monk's hidden sad story happened that night.
It turned out that the old monk had such a sad and even desperate past, no wonder he would live in seclusion in this remote ruined temple for decades.
"Hehe," the old monk suddenly let out a strange smile, looked at the moonlight falling from the corner of the meditation room, and said with a smile: "Today's Wang family and Xie family are the beneficiaries of that day, just like that, it has flourished for thirty years." Back then, your Sun family was also one of them, but later the Sun family declined and was squeezed out of Jiankang, so he had to come to Fufeng County and claim the throne here. ”
Sun Gu smiled coldly, stretched out his finger and shook it, and corrected: "Old monk, you can eat indiscriminately, you can't talk nonsense, it's not our Sun family, and my Sun Gu is not the Sun family." ”
The old monk smiled: "Don't be sensitive, boy, if you lose it, you should get it back." The person from the Sun family, the old monk can help you kill, but the old monk is not willing to help you kill, I want you to kill yourself, what do you think?"
Speaking of killing, the smiling old monk overflowed with wisps of murderous energy, which actually lowered the temperature of the Zen room a little.
Sun Gu also smiled and arched his hand, "Thank you old monk, this is very good, very good." ”
The two looked at each other and laughed together.
"In addition to the 'Tianxia Society', the old monk also knows about those cultivation sects?" Sun Gu changed the topic and asked.
"There is a 'Tianxia Society' in Liangzhou County, there is a 'Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion' in Runan County, and the rest, Lao Gao is not clear. ”
"'Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion'?"
Sun Gu thought silently, thought about it, and then asked: "Is the so-called 'opening the mountain gate, Na Xianyuan' an admissions conference?"
"Admissions conference?"
The old monk smiled, thinking that this was also appropriate, shook his head and said: "It can be said that those Xiuzhen sects pay attention to qualifications and opportunities, and some mountain gates are opened once every hundred years, and they will arrange for envoys to go to various places and designate people with qualifications to participate in this enrollment...... Admissions Conference. ”
"Then who are these people?" Sun Gu asked curiously.
"These people are nothing special, some are even just ordinary ordinary people, maybe we think that this person is just a useless guy, but in fact, they are lucky people with immortal fate, qualifications and spiritual roots. ”
Speaking of this, the old monk showed a helpless look on his face, and seemed to be quite envious of these lucky people.
"Okay, let's put that aside for now, let's talk about the situation in the north. ”
Master Lotus continued to explain the situation in the world to Sun Gu, "In the past thirty years, the world has changed, and great changes have also taken place in the north, and the source of this great change is in the hero of the north who fought with that person on Cangwu Mountain that day. ”
Sun Gu's face changed, he was taken aback in his heart, and asked, "That person is not dead?"
Lianhua shook his head and sighed: "He died, but before he died, he did a great thing, that is, to assist the Great Qin Heavenly King Fu Jian and unify the entire north. ”
When Sun Gu heard the familiar name, an extremely ridiculous feeling surged in his heart, and he asked in a trembling voice: "This person, it can't be Wang Meng, right?"
Lianhua was surprised, looked at her disciple suspiciously, and asked rhetorically, "You haven't been out of the mountain gate, and you even know this Great Qin National Master." ”
"Holy!"
Sun Gu couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth.
It turns out that the era in which the world is now living is actually the era of chaos for nearly a hundred years, known as the Han catastrophe, this joke is really a bit big.
"Wang Meng, the national teacher of Great Qin, assisted the Heavenly King Fu Jian, and successively destroyed the Dai Kingdom, the Yan Kingdom, the Liang Kingdom, the Yue Kingdom, and the Xia Kingdom, and unified the north, at present, the whole world, with the strength of the Great Qin, fortunately, Wang Meng's injury recurred ten years ago, and he died with a whimper, otherwise, I am afraid that now, the world has long been the Great Qin, and we have become the slaves of the country. ”
Of course, Sun Gu knew that in another time and space, Wang Meng was also a person who was suddenly in a mess, and if he hadn't died early, history would probably have to be rewritten.
"Now, the north is sharpening the sword, and in two or three years, a big war that will determine the world is coming," Lotus looked at his most proud disciple, and said in a deep voice: "Sun Gu, at present, your martial arts realm is close to the realm of the grandmaster, how to protect your mother and yourself in this troubled era, you need to make continuous progress, there are many people, and the master really can't help you now, besides, the old monk has lived in seclusion for many years, and he doesn't want to be in the world again, in the future, you can only rely on yourself." ”
"In the troubled times, people are not as good as dogs, fate gathers and scatters, they have their own scores, Master has nothing to give you, this is a book from heaven, Master got it by chance, and has not been able to understand it for many years, maybe it can't help you anything, you take it, and you don't know if it's useful in the future. ”
After finishing speaking, he handed the long-awaited little yellow book to Sun Gu, and said with a smile: "You and I have an end of fate, let's see you again in the future." ”
After that, he slowly stood up and rubbed Sun Gu's top door, his face full of kindness.
Sun Gu was so shocked that he didn't care about reading the book in his hand, and asked anxiously, "Master, where are you going?"
When Lianhua heard a "Master", she couldn't help but smile and said: "The old monk has admired the fairy for decades, and today he has a worldly situation, so he wants to travel around, boy Mo Nian, go and rest!"
After that, his body shook and he was already out of the meditation room.
"The world is good for the gods, the six roots have cut off the mortal feelings, today I went to rest on the road, and the Ming Dynasty spread the question of fishing. ”
In the midst of the lingering sounds, Sun Gu chased out of the door, and the old monk was already flying in the dark, and there was no trace.
Sun Gu shed tears and looked at the courtyard for a long time, not knowing the whiteness of the East.
