Chapter 60: Correspondence (II)
Xu Wen pondered for a few days, and finally attached his satisfactory Taoism to this last letter. Let the paper crane, which has been flying back and forth for more than 20 years, fly to the Tongtian River for the last time.
Three days later, the crane had arrived at the Tongtian River, and this time it was broad daylight. And it was still the day of Luo Gongyuan's lecture, and the paper crane stopped outside Luo Gongyuan's Daolu.
But this time is different from the past, today Su Zhen came to Luo Gongyuan to ask some questions. When Su Zhen saw this paper crane, he knew that it was Xu Wen's last reply.
So Su Zhen called all the three generations of disciples over, in fact, now the three generations of true disciples of the Tianhe Sword Sect are just him and Chen Taizhen.
After Su Zhen called Chen Taizhen outside the Daolu to wait for the paper crane to exert his power, the two of them couldn't help but wonder what method Xu Wen would use in the last round to keep himself from falling behind in momentum or even better.
It's just that the two of them don't know much about these two brothers, Su Zhen and Xu Qing are good masters, and they know that Xu Wen is highly rated by Luo Gongyuan.
Chen Taizhen, in addition to those earlier letters, only knew that Xu Qingxiu was "Yuan Mirage".
For a long time, Luo Gongyuan's lecture was over, and the paper crane still didn't move. Su Zhen and Chen Taizhen were both asking Xu if they had conceded defeat.
At this time, Luo Gongyuan rang the bell to signal the end of the lecture. Obviously, the paper crane outside the door and Su Zhen and Chen Taizhen have come recently.
At this moment, the paper crane moved. I saw a black and red sandalwood bead in the paper crane actively manifesting outside, and finally turned into the appearance of Xu Wen.
It's just that this 'Xu Wen' is a little dull, and after slowing down, some brilliance appeared in his eyes.
Xu Wen pinched the paper crane with his hand and was about to knock on the door. saw Su Zhen and Chen Taizhen standing outside the door. Then he hurriedly saluted and said, "In Xia Xuqing, I have seen two senior brothers." I haven't returned to the mountain for a long time, but I don't know what the two senior brothers are called? ”
"In Xia Su Zhen, I and Xu Qing are teachers with Teacher Luo Gongyuan." Su Zhen said.
"Under Chen Taizhen, he is the apprentice of Teacher Guo Songyang." Chen Taizhen looked at Xu and asked.
"I've seen Senior Brother Su Zhen, I've seen Senior Brother Chen Taizhen." Xu Wen replied, at this time, Xu Wen was no longer a little sluggish, and he was no different from his real person.
At this time, Luo Gongyuan, who was in the Dao Lu, was stunned for a moment, but quickly smiled and no longer paid attention to the things outside the door.
Xu Qinggang finished asking the question, and he was still reminiscing about it by himself, and he didn't notice Luo Gongyuan's small movements.
After saying that the three people outside the door had narrated, they were ready to knock on the door and enter. It's just that Su Zhen and Chen Taizhen are unwilling to knock, and Chen Taizhen even said that he actually came to see it, and he didn't go in at all.
"Why should the two senior brothers embarrass me. My phantom body, knocking on that door, I'm afraid it will take three moments less to transform into time. Xu asked.
"What's the matter with three instants, go to the block. Don't make your brother wait. Chen Taizhen and Su Zhen urged.
Seeing that he couldn't get rid of it in the end, Xu Wen had to control the phantom body to knock on the door.
"Dangdangdang." Xu Wen rang three times and stood at the door waiting.
"Come in." Naturally, it was Luo Gongyuan's voice, which was still the same as before. It's just that Xu Wen can't hear it.
Xu asked for permission, and pushed the door hard to enter. Simply this door did not activate any prohibitions, otherwise Xu Wen would not be able to push this phantom body away for half a point even if he exhausted all of them.
Xu Wen also knew that the Yuan Shen Master Shen was shrouded in all directions at any time, and this door was just out of etiquette.
Pushing the door in, I saw Luo Gong sitting on a futon in the distance. Under the futon is a small, shallow step. Xu Qing sat on a futon at the bottom of the steps and pondered.
Hearing someone push the door in, Xu Qing turned his head to look. The three people who wanted to come in were Xu Wen walking in the front.
"Brother!" Xu Qing stood up and exclaimed, his hands slightly raised, but he didn't know where to put it. Xu Qingzi didn't think that his brother could come to Tongtian River at this time, not to mention that the mountains and rivers were long along the way.
If something happens, I'm afraid I won't be able to reach it in March or May. Xu Qing concluded that the person in front of him must not be his brother.
It's just that Xu Wen in front of him is so familiar, although he has changed into a black robe, which is completely different from the previous dress. But some small actions and expressions prove that Xu Wen in front of him is fake.
But Xu Wen didn't care. I saluted Luo Gong first.
"I've seen Uncle Luo." Xu asked.
"I always hear Senior Brother Jingxu talk about how his apprentice is so extraordinary. When I saw it today, he was a stunning talent. Luo Gongyuan said.
"Uncle Shi praised it." Xu asked.
Xu Wen saw that Luo Gongyuan was no longer talking, so he stepped forward and hugged Xu Qing.
Xu Qing was hugged by this, and he knew the truth of Xu Wen. Although it is a phantom body, it can follow the paper crane to the Tongtian River for thousands of miles, Xu Qing asked himself if he couldn't do it.
"Brother, this time, really beat me." Xu Qingdao.
They had exchanged letters twenty-one times before, and neither side had admitted defeat or admitted that they had fallen for the other. Now seeing Xu Wen's unexpected reply, Xu Qing is convinced.
"But in a month's time, I won't lose." Xu Qingdao.
"That's a matter of competition. But I don't think you can beat me, and it looks like I'm going to continue to polish in this red dust for a while. Xu Wen originally wanted to say that he would be happy in this red dust for a while. But Luo Gongyuan was in front of him, but he couldn't be presumptuous.
In the end, Xu Wen took out a letter and said, "I can't bring my father and mother over." This time it's just letters. Rest assured, this faith is true. ”
Xu Qing took the letter, and the two brothers chatted a few more words. Xu Wen said: "I have limited time for this phantom body, so let's get here first, and we'll see you in a month." ”
After Xu Wen finished speaking, before Xu Qing could react, the phantom body suddenly dissipated without a trace. Only a black and red sandalwood bead remained in place.
Xu Qing caught it and put it away carefully. And Luo Gong saw that Xu Wen had left, so he also asked the three of them to retreat.
The three of them discussed outside the Daolu.
"Senior Brother Xu, but his qualifications are above ours." Chen Taizhen said. Although he has already attained the foundation of the Dao, it is easy to do such a divine possession.
But he also knew that he couldn't do this in the realm of entering the body, so that the deity was okay nearby, and beyond the range of perception, he could only do some things that had been set earlier like a puppet.
The three third-generation true legends were discussed again, but they were more interested in the competition a month later. Su Zhen had already planned to go with Luo Gongyuan. Now Chen Taizhen has also decided to check it out.
Xu Qing was grateful again. As soon as the two brothers entered the entrance wall, they were listed as true legends, and there were already many inner disciples who were not convinced.
He Xu Qing is okay, at least after a year, he has performed very well, and there are few inner disciples who chew their tongues. Coupled with the recent slaying of the Gang Refining Monster, the position of this true disciple has been stabilized.
Xu Wen is different, he has never been to Tianhe until now, and he doesn't know how many rumors are spreading in secret.
Originally, it was okay when there was no correspondence, but everyone didn't know. Since the two brothers fought over letters, this criticism has never stopped.
Now that the three true legends of this sect have all gone to pick up his fourth true inheritance, this momentum will spread, and the discussion will be less than half.
"I don't know if Senior Brother Xu can lend me that bead." Chen Taizhen said.
"Yes." Xu Qing took out the beads, he hadn't looked at them carefully until now. I just saw that this bead was different from usual, revealing a blood-red color.
Chen Taizhen looked at it carefully for a long time and said, "Senior Brother Xu Wen's talent is still above what I just said." ”
"But I don't know why Senior Brother said this? Could it be that Xu asked the junior brother to be like Zhong Shenxiu? Su Zhen asked with some confusion.
"When I saw this bead, I knew that it was a blood sacrifice. At first, I felt that something was wrong, I was afraid that there would be some hidden dangers, after all, the essence blood sacrifice had a great impact on us and other monks.
But later I felt that Senior Brother Xu Wen was not such an unwise character, so I took a closer look. Sure enough, it was what I thought later.
Although this bead is refined, the essence blood used is very little, almost nothing. Even with my current cultivation, using these essence blood sacrifices alone cannot guarantee that the effect will surpass that of Senior Brother Xu Wen. ”
Xu Qing suddenly heard that this was a thing of essence blood refining, and he was a little worried about Xu Wen's body. Now after listening to Chen Taizhen's explanation, I am relieved.
"But it's the senior brother's false praise. My brother's "Yuan Mirage" is quite good at this aspect. Xu Qing was modest.
"Don't say it again, I have also referred to the "Yuan Mirage", and I know the effect." Chen Taizhen said.
The three of them talked for a while before slowly dispersing. Chen Taizhen went to alchemy, Xu Qing went to cultivate, and Su Zhen went to Luo Gongyuan to ask questions.
