Chapter 387: Visiting the Sword Elder in Guilin
After Zhao Jun retreated, Shangguan Tangyuan finally adopted the strategy of Baili Yue and abandoned Cangcheng.
However, there are many soldiers and civilians in Cangcheng who are spontaneously willing to follow Shangguan Tangyuan back to Huizhou.
In this regard, Shangguan Tangyuan returned to Huizhou with all the grain and grass in the cangcheng official granary and the military rations sent to Cangcheng by Kong Yanli, and as for the property of the people, Shangguan Tangyuan did not move at all.
After that, Xu Ce suggested that Xiangyan enter the main Cangcheng City, and the construction of fortifications around Kuncang has been adopted by Xiangyan as a barrier in the Wu realm.
At this point, the eastern border of Suzhou became Xiangyan's sphere of influence.
In the late autumn of the sixth year of Emperor Ye, Ye Jiuli, who had traveled westward for several months, passed through the old forest of Guizhou and stopped on the shore of Luolan Lake.
"There are few tourists in Guilin, and Mr. He is here."
Ye Jiuli heard the sound of people, turned his head to look at it, and it was a man with a bright eyebrow holding firewood greeting him.
"In the next non-tourist, it's just looking for someone." Ye Jiuli replied politely to the man.
"The house is not far away, if the gentleman has any difficulties, he can find it." The man said, pointing in a direction southwest of Lake Roland.
"Thank you, little brother, is the old man here?" Ye Jiuli asked when the little brother Danchai was leaving.
Seeing Ye Jiuli asking, the man with firewood stopped and said, "No, learn the sword with a venerable." ”
Practicing swords? Ye Jiuli suddenly had a strong premonition, that Venerable must be a sword sleepless!
Ye Jiuli raised his head and asked, "Dare to ask that Venerable if it is Mr. Jian Wumian?" ”
"Exactly, Mr. knows the tutor?"
"I've been friends for a long time, can the little brother take me to see the sword seniors."
"Sir, please." Chu Angju led the way in front of him with firewood.
Ye Jiuli followed Chu Angju through the jungle, there was a grass hut not far away, and after walking through a low fence wall, there was the front yard, where dried vegetables and fruits were dried on one side, and all kinds of exercise equipment were on the other side......
"Sir, wait a minute, I'll go in and say hello to the master......"
But before Chu Angju could greet him, Jian Wumian came out by himself.
"No need to say hello, I said how can there be an annoying aura of spiritual fire veins, it turns out that the holy beast is here." Jian Wumian walked out of the house with a cane, and looked at Ye Jiuli's eyes full of disgust.
Before Ye Jiuli could speak, the Yanzhu that was lodged in Ye Jiuli's body transformed into the appearance of a peerless beauty and appeared in front of everyone.
"Sword Sleepless, you're old." Yan Zhu didn't have a verbal fight with Jian Wumian, which didn't match her identity, it was just a greeting for the reunion.
When I first saw him, I was full of spirit, and when I said goodbye, the lone sword broke through the formation, and now, it is inevitable that the hero will be dying.
"Yes, I'm old, I'll be almost two hundred years old if I live, and you're still the same as back then." Jian Wumian sighed, sat on the stone steps, looked at the unchanging beauty of Yanzhu and said.
"Your spiritual veins are exhausted, and the year is approaching, are you planning to live in this deep mountain valley?" Yanzhu asked.
"After a few years of living, this life has finally come to an end." Jian Wumian said with relief, as if he was empty.
"Back then, you had already broken the formation and obtained the qualification to enter the fifth day, why didn't you want to go, but came to the first day of seclusion?" Yanzhu asked.
Hearing this, Jian Wumian looked sideways, and Chu Angju was cutting the firewood he had brought in half with a branch.
Jian Wumian smiled with satisfaction: "Although I am old, my disciples will be famous all over the world in a few decades, maybe this is the joy of educating people that my mentor said before." ”
After hearing this, Yanzhu was relieved as if she had gone to some knot. When she looked at Chu Angju, she seemed to see that there was once a high-spirited young man, who broke through the battle with a lone sword, and the sword flew into the sky.
"This little friend is the wizard you're going to bring into the fourth day?" After a long time, Jian Wuxian mentioned Ye Jiuli.
"Sort of, I'm here today to ask you about the standards of mortality." Yanzhu replied.
"Ask, you know everything." Jian Wumian said.
Ye Jiuli saluted Jian Wumian and asked, "Mr. Jian, I want to take a friend of mine into the world of two heavens, what should I do?" ”
"Can your friend practice martial arts?"
"Not really."
"Can you have a noble person to help?"
"Not at all."
"Why did an ordinary mortal insist on going to the Second Heaven World? There is no strength, and there is no favor of sages, in the cruel world of class supremacy the next day...... That wasn't a good thing for him. Jian Wumian said ordinarily.
On the second day, strength makes class, class is status, and ordinary people of the day go to the next day, and they are not even a slave of the Ding rank.
"Besides, on the first day of this world without spiritual power, except for one's own talent and talent, if you can practice the spiritual root in a spiritless environment or get the true transmission of the exercises by chance, then you can only stand on the second day, and your friend can't." Jian Wuxian said again, and just a few words have already explained the difficulty of the people of one day wanting to go to the next day.
"Besides, even if I'm a disciple, and you, what will be the next day? You might as well let Suzaku evaluate it, whether you can survive or not depends on yourself. Jian Wumian said.
Yan Zhu carefully observed Chu Angju's figure and said, "The talent is very high, his moves and styles are very similar to you back then, but they are two completely different sword paths, which is very strange...... Who did he go to the next day? ”
"Excalibur Gate." Jian Wumian spit out three words faintly.
"Your teacher? If you first enter the second day, the spirit foundation stone should give him an evaluation of the rank of the junior to the school rank, when you break into the battle in your later years, what level of strength has you reached? Yanzhu said.
"Xuan Tier."
"Although there are thousands of Xuan Rank, there is no one." Yanzhu said.
"And what rank are you?" Ye Jiuli asked Yan Zhu.
"She is a monarch, and the people of the Four Heavens call her Yanjun or Zhu Jun." Jian Sleepless replied for Yanzhu.
"Better than you?"
"Hahahahaha~ How can a swordsman of my mere Xuan rank be compared to a holy beast of the monarch rank, not to mention three days and four days, just on the second day, there are only a handful of characters who can be stronger than the monarch rank."
After listening to Jian Wumian's overview, Ye Jiuli asked Yan Zhu: "Yan Zhu, you are so strong, you can't let Hua Shan follow me into the method of the Second Heavens, why does Master Lan recommend Old Master Jian to me?" ”
"Master Blue? Blue wall? Did that kid tell you to come to me? ”
"Yes, I originally sought advice from Master Lan, but Master Lan recommended Mr. and me, so I traveled west for a few months to see Mr."
"Since it was recommended by Lanbi, I guess I want to give you that kind of thing, you wait, wait until I go to the house to get it." Jian Wumian's heart was already clear, and he walked towards the house with a step.
After a while, he took out a wooden box and came to Ye Jiuli.
"Mr. Sword, what is this?" Ye Jiuli looked at the wooden box and asked.
[Jian Lao, painting the saint to drive the crane to the west, when he was dying, he asked me to hand over these two things to you]
[Is this the insight and the thought of all things? 】
[Yes.] 】
[What's the use of handing it over to me, I'm a recluse, can I find a successor for him? 】
[Leave this matter to me, Jian Lao can rest assured to go into hiding, if you find a talent suitable for inheriting the painting saint's peerless learning, I will let him go to your ......]
"Painting the relics of the saints." Jian Wumian paused for a moment.
