Chapter 153: A Different World, Different People
Qiu Chuji said slowly: "'Correct heroic posture, take time or cut off'." My teacher was not born to be a Taoist. He first learned literature when he was young, and then practiced martial arts, he was a hero who crisscrossed the rivers and lakes, and later the foreign invasion, ruined my fields, killed my people, and the ancestors of Chongyang had raised the banner of righteousness, and the enemy of foreign tribes, and really built a vigorous career. ”
Later, the foreign tribes opened up, but the Central Plains martial arts fell into infighting, and the ancestor saw that it was no longer possible to conquer the city, so he turned to become a monk. At that time, he called himself the 'living dead', and for several years in a row, he lived in an ancient tomb in Benshan, refusing to go out of the tomb and concentrating on martial arts. ”
Chen Xiao said: "I see. ”
But there was a great doubt in my heart.
In this world, foreign races stand side by side, that is, foreign races do not have such a strong force.
What is already known is that Da Liao is the most powerful, and he often troubles the people of the Central Plains, otherwise Qiao Feng's life experience would not have brought out such a big impact. Then Wang Chongyang was not defeated, and led the Central Plains people to fight into the hinterland of foreign tribes and returned with a big victory.
At this time, the Central Plains martial arts ...... Well, the Central Plains martial arts has always been eventful, and it is not surprising that there is a bit of civil strife, and then Wang Chongyang lives in seclusion in the tomb of the living dead to practice martial arts?
Chen Xiao always felt that something seemed to be wrong, but he couldn't say it.
Qiu Chuji continued: "After many years, the old friends and colleagues of the ancestor came to visit one after another, persuading him to go out of the tomb and do another career. However, the ancestor refused to leave the tomb on the grounds of practice. It wasn't until eight years later that a close friend of the ancestor insulted him outside the tomb gate in every way, provoking him for seven days and seven nights. The man laughed and said, 'You're finally out, you don't have to go back!' The master suddenly realized that the man was well-intentioned. After this incident, the two joined hands to break into the rivers and lakes again. ”
When Chen Xiao heard this, he was also leisurely fascinated, and asked, "Who ......is that senior?"
Qiu Chuji said: "This person is a female streamer, she has never shown her head outside, she is not known to outsiders, and her reputation is also unknown." ”
Chen Xiao said: "Ah, it turned out to be a woman." Alas, it's not a big deal for a woman to show up on the rivers and lakes......"
This is true, there are many women who show up in the rivers and lakes...... Qiu Chuji sighed: "This senior has a lot of affection for the master, and wants to be committed to the relationship and marry the master. Back then, the two kept fighting each other, and that person deliberately wanted to get close to the ancestor, but she was arrogant and never willing to confide in her affection first. Later, the ancestor naturally understood, but he became a monk, how did he get married? The deep affection for that senior, pretending to be stupid, just don't know. The senior only looked down on her and was resentful. The two had turned enemies into friends, but later they became enemies because of love, and they decided to compete in this Zhongnan Mountain. ”
Chen Xiao said: "It's not that I said your Chongyang Patriarch, why should a big man be so careful......"
Qiu Chuji was choked for a moment, but he also knew that Chen Xiao was telling the truth, but it took a while to recover and say, "Yes!" The prophet knew that she was a good intention, and she endured it all the way. How do you know that the senior has a perverse temperament, and said, 'The more you let me, the more you look down on me.' The first teacher was forced to do something with her. At that time, his two predecessors competed here, fighting thousands of moves, and the first master did not make heavy hands, and it was always difficult to distinguish victory from defeat. The man said angrily, 'You did not fight against me, but who am I?' The first teacher said: "It is difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser in the martial arts, and it is not as good as the literary competition." The man said, 'That's good.' If I lose, I will never see you for the rest of my life, so that your ears and eyes may be clear. The Guru said, 'If you win, what will you do?' The man's face turned red and he was speechless, but at last he gritted his teeth and said, 'Let me live in your tomb of the living dead.' ’”
That man's words actually have a lot of meaning, which means that if he wins, he will live with his ancestor in this tomb. The first teacher was embarrassed, and she expected that her martial arts were slightly higher than her, so she was forced to deal with this, so she had to defeat her, so as not to be entangled in the future, so she asked her how to compare the law. She said, 'Everyone is tired today, and we will decide tomorrow night.' ’”
The next evening, the two met again here. The man said, 'Before we compete, we have to make a rule. The teacher said, 'What rules have you made?' The man said, 'If you win, I will kill myself on the spot, and I will not see you again.'" If I prevail, then you will give me this tomb of the living dead to live in, and obey me all the days of my life, and nothing shall be contrary to me; Otherwise, you have to go home, whether you are a monk or a Taoist. Whether you are a monk or a Taoist priest, you must establish a temple on this mountain and accompany me for ten years. ’”
Well, that's where these words come from.
However, Chen Xiao asked curiously: "Daoist Qiu, did you hear these things with your own ears?" ”
Qiu Chuji said: "I was still young at that time, how could I hear so many things. These are all things that Patriarch Chongyang told us later. ”
"Oh......" Chen Xiao pondered for a moment and said, "Then you go on first." ”
Qiu Chuji said: "The ancestor understands in his heart that if he marries her or becomes a monk and Taoist, he is not allowed to marry him. In fact, this female predecessor is the best choice in terms of talent and martial arts, she is in love, and the ancestor is not unmoved, but somehow, when it comes to getting married, she always has no such fate. The master pondered for a long time, and then made up his mind, knowing that this man could do what he said, and that he would kill himself if he lost, so he decided to sacrifice himself and obey others, and to lose to her no matter what, and said, 'Okay, that's it.' ’”
Hearing this, Chen Xiao felt more and more that things seemed to be a bit beyond his imagination.
However, it is always impossible to say where the specific problem lies.
It stands to reason that between the two, it shouldn't be like this, a great master like Wang Chongyang shouldn't be against a woman everywhere.
Qiu Chuji continued: "You have also seen what happened after that, it is to engrave words on this stone. Alas, when the first master saw that the other party had such skills, he admired it in his heart, and had nothing to say, so he moved out of the tomb of the living dead that night and let her live, and became a Taoist priest on the second day, and built a small Taoist temple near the tomb of the living dead, which was the predecessor of Chongyang Palace. ”
"The first master was a Taoist priest at the beginning, and he was very angry in his heart, but after reading a lot of Taoist books, he finally realized that everything was all about the fate, and he also understood the wisdom of purity and nothingness. Thinking about the source, if it weren't for the excitement of that female senior, there would be no true religion in the world, and I would not have today. ”
Chen Xiao nodded yes and asked, "But I don't know what this female senior is called, is she still in the world?" ”
Qiu Chuji sighed: "This senior woman was a chivalrous man back then, and her deeds were secret and abnormal, and very few people have seen her true face. Except for the first teacher, I am afraid that no one in the world knows her real name, and the first teacher never tells anyone. This senior had passed away long before the first Huashan Sword Debate, otherwise with her martial arts and temperament, how could she not participate? ”
Chen Xiao pondered for a while, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he asked, "Daoist Qiu, there is something I haven't figured out, please solve your doubts." ”
Qiu Chuji replied: "Brother Chen, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”
Chen Xiao asked, "Daoist Qiu, your Chongyang Patriarch is a person with a small belly?" ”
Qiu Chuji's face was a little unhappy, and he shook his head and said, "This is naturally not. ”
Chen Xiao asked again: "Then he is a person who was born to become a monk?" Born not to like women? ”
This time, Qiu Chuji pondered for a moment and muttered, "That's not the case. After all, the ancestor was not born to be a Taoist priest, and for women, there should be some reverie more or less. ”
Chen Xiao nodded, and asked again: "Daoist Qiu said earlier that the ancestor doesn't like to show his face, but he is extremely competitive, otherwise with her martial arts and temperament, she will definitely go to participate in the Huashan Sword Debate, yes or no?" However, if you don't like to show your head, you must keep a low profile. How can you be competitive when you keep a low profile? Isn't there a great deal of conflict? ”
Qiu Chuji pondered for a while and muttered, "That's right." It stands to reason that he doesn't like to show his head, and there are not even people on the rivers and lakes who know his name, but his martial arts are extremely high, which is understandable. But she is so competitive, how can she not participate in those major events on the rivers and lakes? ”
This is the difference between this world and the original world.
In the original world of Condor archery, the person with the highest martial arts in the world is just the five uniques, the first time Huashan discussed the sword, she died and did not participate, this is understandable, and other rankings are disdainful of her martial arts.
And Wang Chongyang did not marry her, which can also be said to be a failure to resist gold and disheartened.
But the world is different.
This is a foreign invasion, Wang Chongyang won a big victory, and entering the tomb of the living dead is just to practice, not to be disheartened.
And there are endless masters in this world, with her martial arts, how can she have no reputation at all?
Wang Chongyang, as a normal man, has no mental state, and the other party is not worse than him in terms of character and appearance, or martial arts, why is he so intolerant of people, and he is against her, that is, Lin Chaoying, everywhere? If Lin Chaoying likes him, and even asks him to live with her in the Tomb of the Living Dead for ten years, why bother him everywhere?
I'm afraid I should be in a hurry to make a promise, right?
Also, if Wang Chongyang is a normal man, and the two parties have a good impression of each other, can they really resist Lin Chaoying's temptation?
I don't think so!
Thinking of this, Chen Xiao slowly spoke: "And there is one of the biggest problems here, that is, how far has the innate skill of the Chongyang Patriarch been practiced. ”
Qiu Chuji thought for a moment and said, "Nature is an extremely high realm. If Patriarch Chongyang is still in the world, I am afraid that my martial arts will not be inferior by half a point compared to the six supreme ones. ”
Well, that's the key.
Chen Xiao thought about it again and said, "The problem, I'm afraid it lies in this innate skill. I have studied this innate skill, and the power in the early stage is not very high, but it is a later force. The more you get later, the more profound this skill becomes, right? ”
Qiu Chuji nodded and said, "Yes, that's right, the ancestor also said this." ”
Chen Xiao continued: "That Qiu Dao Chief, in my opinion, the ancestor is afraid that it is not true, so he has to marry that senior. And now, there are two possibilities for this whole thing. ”
