Chapter 63: A Responsibility

Poplar then understood that in this land of China, in addition to the Xiuzhen sect, there is also the existence of the martial arts sect, obviously this Shaolin Temple is one of the main representatives of the martial arts sect, but in addition to the Shaolin Temple, there are other well-known sects that belong to the martial arts sect, which reminds him of the martial arts sects such as Emei, Kunlun, Kongtong and even Qingcheng that are often mentioned in some martial arts novels.

"Master, in addition to the Shaolin Temple, what other martial arts sects are there in our country?" He couldn't help but ask.

Cangsong Daoist did not feel impatient, but patiently explained: "There are many martial arts, similarly, martial arts are also divided into authentic and non-authentic, authentic martial arts are currently nine in the country, namely Shaolin, Wudang, Taiji, Bagua, Lost, Yongchun, Xinyi, Xingyi, Hongmen, these nine sects are called Wu Jiuzong, as for the non-authentic martial arts sects, there are more, there are countless more, and many non-authentic martial arts sects are separated from this martial nine sects, after all, martial arts are not the same as our Xiuzhen sect, Their personnel are more mobile, unlike our Xiuzhen Sect, which is extremely strict in accepting disciples, which is also a major reason why our Xiuzhen Sect is not well known to the world. ”

Bai Yang was a little surprised, he originally thought that the authentic martial arts sect was mostly a name like Shaolin, Wudang, Emei, Kunlun, it was really normal at first, but how did it feel more and more wrong later? Isn't this Hongmen a gangster organization, why did it suddenly become one of the Nine Martial Sects?

"Master, isn't there still some sects like the Emei faction, the Kunlun faction, the Kongtong faction and even the Qingcheng faction in some martial arts novels, aren't these martial arts sects, and isn't that Hongmen a gangster organization, why did it suddenly become one of the nine martial arts sects?" Poplar couldn't help but ask curiously.

Hearing his question, Cangsong Daoren couldn't help laughing, and shook his head while laughing and explained: "Disciple, novels are novels, most of them are based on the author's imagination, it is already very good to be able to have a certain truth, how can you take it seriously?" The Emei faction you said, there was indeed such a martial arts sect in ancient times, but it was destroyed by the government in the Yuan Dynasty, as for the Kunlun faction, Kongtong faction and Qingcheng faction in ancient times, they were all Xiuzhen sects, but they all declined later, and now the Kunlun faction, Kongtong faction and Qingcheng faction in your eyes are just tourist scenic spots, as for the Hongmen you said, hahaha, Hongmen has the inner door and the outer door, the inner door belongs to one of the martial arts sects, and the outer gate is a gangster organization in the eyes of the world. ”

So that's the case, Poplar couldn't help but nodded, and said in his heart that he really didn't know much about this world.

"By the way, apprentice, I forgot to ask you last time, is your ability to shuttle to the other world, the final landing location random or can you choose by yourself?" Cangsong Daoren thought about it, stroked his white beard and asked.

Bai Yang didn't expect his master to ask him this question, which made him not know how to answer for a while, he thought about it, and thought that he had told his master that he appeared in a forest when he first shuttled to another world, and last time because he landed directly in the valley on a whim, although he didn't understand his master's intention to ask this question, but he didn't dare to answer truthfully, otherwise he was afraid that his master would ask him why he landed in the valley, and even misunderstood that he was a murderer, That's too bad.

But he didn't dare to say that it was random, otherwise every time he appeared in the mountains and forests, he would inevitably be misunderstood, and if he landed directly into the sea, wouldn't it be an act of looking for death?

"What's wrong?" Seeing that he was speechless for a long time, Cangsong Daoren couldn't help frowning and asked.

Bai Yang was shocked by his master's questioning, he swallowed his saliva and smiled bitterly: "Master, I don't know what to say about this." ”

"Oh, why do you say that?" Cangsong Daoren asked puzzled.

Poplar touched his nose and found that he had touched the smooth glass and made a "cooing" sound, which made him suddenly remember that he still had a helmet on his head.

Seeing his movements, Cangsong Daoren couldn't help but let out a hahaha laugh, obviously amused by his movements.

He put down his hand and said with a wry smile: "Master, that's right, when I use the spatial ability, the space is similar to a twisted sieve in my eyes, and the pores on the sieve are erratic, so that I can't do accurate positioning, but I can roughly choose the range of landing, uh, this may have something to do with the strength of my divine consciousness is not enough, I believe that if my divine consciousness can reach the strength of Master, I should be able to achieve accurate positioning." ”

Cangsong Daoren didn't know whether what Bai Yang said was true or not, but now he could only believe that he was telling the truth.

"I see, although you can't do accurate positioning for the time being, but you can roughly determine the landing range, which is much safer than random landing." He nodded, the expression on his face visibly much lighter than before.

"Then the last time you shuttled over with the little monkey, how did you feel, and how was the consumption of divine sense?" Cangsong Daoren thought about it and asked again.

This time, Bai Yang didn't hesitate too much, in fact, he had already thought of his rhetoric when he came back last time, but what surprised him at that time was that neither Master nor Director Hu asked him this question, and he forgot to ask it.

"It's okay, take the little monkey to shuttle over, it's just a little bit more than I shuttled alone, but the consumption is not very much, maybe it's because my sense has become stronger, after that shuttle, in addition to feeling a little sleepy, there is no big sequelae." He explained.

Cangsong Daoren nodded and said, "That's good, it seems that the consumption of divine consciousness generated by your shuttle to the other world is not much related to the amount of things you carry. ”

"Master, do you have to come with me tomorrow, or someone else?" Poplar thought about it and couldn't help but persuade.

Cangsong Daoren smiled and asked, "Why did you suddenly say that, don't you have confidence in being a teacher?" ”

Bai Yang hurriedly shook his head and said, "It's not, I just think that Master, you are in a high position, and it is a little inappropriate to risk yourself." ”

Although he said so, the real reason was that he really didn't want to take his master to Luo Yuanxing, not because he was afraid that his master would find out his secret on Luo Yuanxing, but because he was afraid that his Yuan Shen cultivation would be exposed, could it be that he could still wear protective clothing all the time? Of course, if he really can't change this fact, then he has to wear protective clothing all the time.

Cangsong Daoren couldn't help but shake his head, and said earnestly: "Disciple, sometimes people can't always live for themselves, for the teacher is three hundred and seventy-two years old this year, born in the late Ming Dynasty, experienced the entire Qing Dynasty and the warlords and the war of resistance in the later period, over the years, the teacher has almost experienced all kinds of situations in the world, and has suffered from the warmth and coldness of the world. ”

Without waiting for Poplar to answer, Cangsong Daoren seemed to fall into a memory and said: "At that time, I was collecting medicine on Lieyun Peak in Jinggang Mountain, and I happened to meet a large army of the Red Army passing by from the bottom of the mountain, because the terrain near Lieyun Peak was complicated, so at that time this group of Red Army was trapped at the foot of the mountain and could not find a way out, when they found me, they brought me to ***, *** is not the same as other leaders, he is very elegant, very far-sighted, very open-minded, although the army was in a desperate situation at that time, but he did not feel panicked at all, They even offered me a small amount of food. ”

"At that time, I was holding a bamboo tube of rice, looking at the soldiers around me who had vegetables but no food to eat, and I couldn't help but ask in some surprise, 'Why don't you eat it?' At that time, *** smiled and said to me, because I am a citizen, they are soldiers, and it is a soldier's belief to protect the people. ”

"Whether it is the end of the Ming Dynasty or the Qing Dynasty, whether it is the war period or the heyday, I see more of how the officials rack their brains to fish the people, but I have never seen in anyone in order to protect the people, and even distribute the food in their hands to the people, it is precisely because of this that I decided to have a candle night talk with *** at that time, that night talk, let me deeply understand, let me re-find the direction of life, at that time *** said to me such a sentence 'The greater meaning of human life, Not for self-enjoyment, but for protection', he wanted to protect this almost fragmented country invaded by foreign powers and the people in this country in dire straits, his faith was so firm, so high, that I couldn't help but feel ashamed of the people who had lived for nearly three hundred years. ”

"And I was only dedicated to cultivation in my early years, so I missed a lot of wonderful lives, my family died in the hands of the chaotic army when I was thirty years old, not the Qing army, so I don't hate the Qing army, in fact, whether it is the Ming army, the chaotic army, the Qing army is a hill, no army will really take care of the lives of innocent people, and the same is true at the end of the Qing Dynasty, except for the Red Army, whether it is the National Army, the Japanese army or the puppet army, almost do not take the lives of the people seriously, although I have long since lost my family, But I still have a lot of apprentices and grandchildren, they have been cultivating with me, living with me, some of them are orphans I rescued, and some of them are disciples I received when I traveled to the world, looking at them, I can't help but think of the words *** said, and finally I asked myself, what is my Tao, what is the purpose of cultivation? Is it really to let myself enjoy life, it doesn't seem to be, years of Qing cultivation have made me a little out of place in the prosperous world, even if I am given more money, I can't feel the slightest joy, but whenever a disciple or disciple dies because of illness or life, my heart will feel abnormal pain, I realized at this time that my Tao is actually not much different from ***, I am also guarding, I am guarding my disciples and disciples. ”

"Until one day, one of my disciples told me that he wanted to go down the mountain, I asked him why, he told me that China is too chaotic now, he is worried about the safety of his family, he is now successful in learning the Tao, and wants to protect them, hearing his answer, I suddenly realized that my apprentices and disciples still have families, I have people I need to protect, and they also have people they need to protect, after a night of thinking, I gathered all the disciples the next day and told them that we are going out of the mountains to join the Red Army, Join the Communist Party. ”

"Disciple, do you know what a kingdom is?" Suddenly, Cangsong Daoren asked very abruptly.

Bai Yang hadn't recovered from his master's story yet, and when his master asked him this, the expression on his face was obviously a little stunned.
