Chapter 49: Taishang
Xu Haide and Chen Yuanguo looked at each other, a little bit not quite understanding what the old man meant.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Yuanguo took the lead and asked, "Boss, what do you mean by that?" ”
The old man who closed his eyes and recuperated did not rush to answer his question, but slowed down for a long time before he opened his eyes, looked at them, and said, "Let me ask you, you two, do you know what 'Taishang' means?" ”
"Taishang?" After Xu Haide and Chen Yuanguo listened, they were stunned at the same time.
They didn't know how the old man could suddenly ask such a question, but they knew that there must be a reason why the old man asked such a question.
The status of the old man in their minds is very lofty, although above the title, they call the old man "big brother", but in fact, the old man can be regarded as their master.
The four ghosts of Lushan have traveled south and north for many years, what wind and waves have not been seen? Over the years, in Qingshui Town, the four of them have been powerful, rich, and their status is not low, coupled with their unfathomable Taoist skills, they are even more powerful. Now in Li Changsheng's hands, Wu Xianren died carelessly, which made the other three people more or less uncomfortable in their hearts. But about Li Changsheng's life experience, it seems that except for the old man, the rest of the people are unheard of.
Xu Dehai and Chen Yuanguo glanced at each other, and after thinking for a moment, they spoke cautiously.
I only heard Xu Dehai speak: "Big brother, according to my understanding, if it is in the Daomen, then the meaning of 'Taishang' is obvious, everyone in the Daomen knows that in the Daomen, there is only one person who can be called 'Taishang', and that is the Taishang Laojun who is worshiped by the people in the Daomen." ”
Chen Yuanguo nodded and said, "What the third brother said is right, I don't know what you want to ask, eldest brother, is this it?" The word 'Taishang' means that a person who has supreme magical powers, boundless Taoism, and lofty status, and among the Taoist gates, the only person who can be worthy of this word is the Taoist ancestor Taishang Laojun. ”
After hearing this, the old man pondered for a moment, nodded slowly, and said, "What you both said is right, but you are only half right. ”
"Only half right?" Xu Haide and Chen Yuanguo were stunned for a moment, a little puzzled.
Their explanation, although simple, is very accurate, and there is nothing wrong with it.
Xu Haide frowned, and said suspiciously: "The three Taoist Venerables, in addition to Taishang Laojun, there are also Yuan Shi Tianzun and Lingbao Tianzun. ”
"Wrong, wrong...... What are you talking about...... It's all wrong......" The old man sighed, but patted his thigh, shook his head and said.
"Wrong?" Xu Haide and Chen Yuanguo were a little confused.
The old man suddenly asked them such a strange question, but according to their understanding, no matter how they explained, the old man said that they were wrong, so what did it mean correctly?
Chen Yuanguo asked: "Big brother, please forgive the brothers for being stupid, I don't know what the eldest brother means, since the eldest brother said that we were wrong, then can you explain it, big brother?" ”
The old man said, "Okay, then I'll tell you." As soon as he finished speaking, he paused, looked at the two brothers in front of him, and slowly spoke: "In the Daomen, the word 'Taishang' originally meant to refer to the Taoist ancestor Taishang Laojun, which was not wrong, so I said that you were half right, but do you think that I suddenly asked you the meaning of this word, do you want you to tell me this?" ”
As soon as he said this, Xu Haide and Chen Yuanguo were also stunned.
The two of them frowned at the same time and said, "Is it possible...... Big brother, what do you mean, referring to this word, related to the death of the second brother? ”
The old man listened and nodded.
When Xu Haide and Chen Yuanguo heard this, they were stunned, but they didn't know why.
The old man snorted coldly and said, "We have been cultivating for many years, but we are still all mortals, since we are ordinary people, how can we have anything to do with the 'Taishang' above?" As he spoke, the old man pointed to the sky.
Xu Haide and Chen Yuanguo suddenly realized, as if they suddenly understood.
I saw that the two of them were stunned for a moment, and asked: "Big brother, is it possible that in this human world, there is also a 'Taishang'?" ”
The old man smiled coldly, nodded, and said: "When I was still young, I walked into the Dao Gate, and at that time, my master once told me that the word 'Taishang' originally meant the Heavenly Taishang Laojun, but in the human world, the word 'Taishang' also represents another person, do you know...... Who is this man? ”
"Or someone else? Who is it? Xu Haide and Chen Yuanguo's eyes widened.
It was the first time they had heard of such a thing, and they didn't know if it was too secretive or too old for them to ever hear of it.
But the old man is so old, and what he knows is beyond the two of them to fully know, since the old man said it himself, there must be such a thing.
Chen Yuanguo slapped his thigh and said, "Big brother, is it difficult, do you mean to say that Li Changsheng, who killed the second brother, is this person?" ”
The old man smiled coldly, stared at him, and said: "In the human world, the word 'Taishang' refers to the person who is the younger brother of the eighty-first generation incarnation of Lao Tzu Li Er, I have heard my master say that he has already reached the realm of beheading three corpses and ascending, but he is unwilling to soar for a long time, so he stays in the human world, so everyone in the Taoist sect thinks that his Taoism represents the strongest Taoism in the human world. ”
"What? The strongest? ”
Xu Haide and Chen Yuanguo's eyes widened, and their jaws were about to fall to the ground.
If the old man had not said it himself, or if he had killed them, they would not have believed it. After all, such a thing sounds too mysterious. Lao Tzu Li Er's younger brother? How many years does this man have to live? But how old is this Li Changsheng? It's just a young man who looks like he's in his early twenties, and he doesn't look like an old monster who has lived for thousands of years.
"Big ...... Eldest brother...... You're not kidding me and my third brother, are you? Chen Yuanguo squeezed out an embarrassed smile on his face and asked.
The old man snorted coldly, glared at him, and said, "Make you happy? You think I'm full? ”
"This ......" Xu Haide was still a little unconvinced, and said: "But, big brother, how do you know that this Li Changsheng is the person you are talking about?" Moreover, even if there is such a person in the world, I don't think your master may have really seen it, right? What he told you is just a story passed down by word of mouth, and it's hard to tell the truth from the false......"
"That's right...... How can there be such a thing in this era? It's appalling...... No way...... Impossible......" Chen Yuanguo also waved his hand, looking disbelieving.
If it weren't for the fact that the two of them admired the old man very much, I am afraid that at this moment, the old man would have been hit by the death of his second brother and had symptoms of Alzheimer's disease.
"I see you two...... Is death on the horizon...... I don't know ...... yet."
The old man's face showed an angry look.
