Volume 1 Catechumens Chapter 24 Supreme Powers
When Wu Jiejian slashed Luo Che, Lin Lushan and Du Yu were drinking in the largest tavern in Zhaoyang City.
Not far away, there was a lot of noise, and it was the talented people who came to the county government to take the exam who were arguing about the ownership of the current branch meeting.
According to the rules of the imperial examination of the Great Chu State, there are three examinations before and after, and the winner of the county examination is Xiucai, and the first name is called Xie Yuan; The winner of the county examination is a lifter, and the first name is called Huiyuan; The winner of the Beijing examination is a jinshi, and the first name is called the champion.
This kind of title is relatively special, because in countries such as Daqi, there are a total of four examinations before and after the imperial examination, and the top 100 among the jinshi will be examined by the emperor above the Golden Palace, which is called the palace examination. The first name of the palace test is called the champion, while the head of the Beijing test is called a member, and the head of the county test is called Xie Yuan; The county test head is only called the head of the case.
Therefore, there has always been a joke among the nations, saying that the literary style of the Great Chu State is not prosperous, and the candidates are one level lower than the other countries, the champion is like the Huiyuan, the members are like Xie Yuan, and the Xie Yuan is like the head of the case......
In addition, after each imperial examination, the three southeastern countries of Qi, Chu, and Yue will jointly conduct a Kuixing meeting, and each of the three countries will send ten Jinshi to compete in poetry. If someone can overwhelm the crowd and be recognized by the famous Confucian scholars from all over the world, he will be called "the leader".
But...... Over the years, the Kuixing Club has been held again and again, but the leader can count them all on one hand. After all, it's not easy to beat the crowd!
Of course, for Lin Lu Mountain, it is still far away to say that. He is more concerned about the same topics as these talents.
"Old Five, what do you think of the exam?" Du Yu looked at the noisy and lively scene over there, and asked in a low voice, "Are you sure to be moved?" ”
"I read a few poems today that are said to have been written by famous talents in this county." Lin Lushan looked down at the wine glass, and answered a little incorrectly, "If it was a few years ago, I would definitely think that they are extremely powerful. But now it seems that it is just smooth. ”
County Lieutenant Du said that this is too profound to understand, please say something that a rough person can understand.
Lin Lushan smiled slightly, and said very confidently: "If you use a relatively simple, clear, direct and reliable method - I think that the Huiyuan of Zhaoyang County Jinke should be me." ”
Du Yu was stunned for a moment, looked at him with wide eyes, and asked, "You're not joking, are you?" ”
"Big brother, when did you ever see me joking about big things?"
Du thought about it, nodded, and then hurriedly paid the money and dragged Lin Lushan out.
"Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Several gambling houses in this county have already launched a gambling game to bet on who will win the yuan, and your odds are very high - I don't take advantage of the time to buy hundreds of thousands of more bets on it, how can I be worthy of myself!"
County Lieutenant Du snorted and snorted turbidity in his nose, and his expression was extremely excited: "Your sister-in-law is too strict with money, brother, I want to seize the opportunity to save some private money!" ”
Lin Lushan couldn't help but laugh, laughing and laughing, and his thoughts drifted into the distance.
He knows very well that the reason why he has his current talent depends on Dan'er's allocation on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is thanks to the fourth brother's enlightenment.
The fourth brother went home to visit his relatives this time, and left in a hurry within a few days, I don't know if he was doing well in Xianshan to cultivate......
If Wu Xie knew Lin Lushan's thoughts, he would probably smile and say, "I'm doing well now, don't worry!" ”
He was doing well, and after a big meal, he only felt that he had enough strength and energy, and it seemed that he could immediately draw his sword and fight Rocher again.
But Rocher had been hacked to death by him, and his corpse had turned into a small patch of bright red in the sea bowl on the table, and he couldn't even see it if he didn't look closely.
After hacking Rocher to death, he was smiling when he noticed that the scenery around him had changed dramatically, and he was already in a small hotel. There are still drinks and food on many tables in the hotel, but only there are guests on the table next to him, and in the empty lobby, even the shopkeeper can't see it.
What's going on?
He subconsciously looked at the only three guests.
A middle-aged uncle who looks tall and fat is very kind, but it gives people an extremely distant feeling, although he is obviously in front of him, but Wu Xie always feels that he seems to be thousands of miles away from him, out of reach.
A handsome young man with white hair and eyebrows and a white robe, his face was as cold as if it was frozen, and there was an indescribable momentum emanating from him. Wu Xie just glanced at him, and felt that his eyes hurt slightly, and his face was even more painful like a pinprick, so he was so frightened that he hurriedly turned his head and didn't dare to look again.
The third person is a white-haired girl with fox ears, who is lying on the table and falling asleep, gently shaking her ears while sleeping, and I don't know if Lu Dao is really asleep? Still pretending to be asleep.
"Huh? What a rarity! Jasmine exclaimed in her heart, "It's the first time I've seen Monk Jindan since the Heavenly Book World Realm woke up this time!" ”
Wu Xie was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "Which one is Brother Jindan?" ”
"It's the tall and chubby ...... If he is not mistaken, he should have achieved Jindan through the tribulation and using the tribulation thunder to extract the most impurities. Well, although it is not as good as directly achieving the Golden Pill, it is at least much stronger than those who have not achieved the Golden Pill after the tribulation, and can only complete the Golden Pill through further cultivation. Jasmine said in an old-fashioned manner, "Even you Qingyang Guan has only had two ancestors who have directly achieved Jindan for so many years, so he should be regarded as the highest level of monks in the general sense of the world now." ”
Wu Xie couldn't help swallowing and spitting, but before he could calm down, Jasmine said even more exciting news.
"But compared to the white eyebrows next to him, he was nothing. Jindan monk is not a rare commodity, and when he grabbed a lot of people in the sect back then, he was at best a registered disciple. But the white eyebrows are different...... Those who can comprehend the supreme way of the sword, even in the sect of the year, can be officially included in the door wall and be cultivated. ”
Wu Xie felt that he had been frightened enough today, and he would not feel surprised again in the next few years.
It was the first time since he met Jasmine that he had seen Jasmine have such a serious and positive evaluation of contemporary monks!
That handsome young man with white eyebrows turned out to be a genius who could have a place even under the Supreme Divine Monarch in the past!
"What about the one who sleeps?"
"It's not worth mentioning, master, you can hack her to death."
Wu Xie secretly breathed a sigh of relief, if even the sleeping fox spirit was a peerless master...... Alas, it's pretty much the same......
Probably because the fierce battle with Rocher was too draining, he felt that his legs were a little weak, and the muscles on his face were also a little twitching, so that he really couldn't put on a casual appearance, so he had to squeeze out a smile as much as possible, salute politely, and then ask respectfully: "Junior Qingyang Guan Wu Jie, meet the two seniors!" I don't know what the two seniors have to call the juniors to come? ”
"You know us?" The middle-aged man smiled and asked, "No...... With your way, there's no reason to remember what I look like......"
Wu Xie sighed again in his heart, what the middle-aged man said was the unique vision of the Ascending Ancestors, "leaving no trace". Unless you are a person who is deeply Taoist, no matter how long you get along with them, you can't remember their appearance.
This is because they are no longer mortals, and their faces themselves have a mysterious power, which is why this vision appears.
Based on Jasmine's and the middle-aged man's own statements, it is obvious that this is an ancestor-level figure who has attained great cultivation and is about to soar!
"The juniors just think that the two seniors are extraordinary......
"His bearing is extraordinary, that's for sure, he has extraordinary bearing wherever he goes, and nine out of ten people can be scared to death by him." The middle-aged man was still smiling, but he spoke quite lightly, which caused the white-eyed young man to snort coldly, and Wu Xie suddenly felt that the air around him was much heavier, and even breathing became a little difficult.
Fortunately, the middle-aged man laughed twice again, sweeping away the heavy atmosphere, Wu Xie relieved his breath, and then realized that he had broken out in a cold sweat.
"Ha Luha, the young man has good eyesight, so let me introduce you. This handsome man next to me can go to the largest green building in the capital of the Han Kingdom to run for the gold medal cowherd...... Well, name-aside, I usually call him ...... Whitehead, you see his hair is very white. ”
"Fatty, don't say a word, no one will treat you as a dumb person!" The white-haired young man's voice had a metallic texture, and when he heard him speak, Wu Xie felt as if someone was swinging a sword in front of him, and the sword wind gusted.
"That's not going to work! I was about to soar. If you don't take advantage of the present to make more jokes, after I ascend, who else in the world will want to chat with you, a lonely ghost who doesn't love your grandma and uncle? Isn't it possible that you are going to hold your sword and speak? ”
"I can stop talking."
“…… Whitehead, then you'll really be a pervert! ”
"What does the world think of me, and what does it have to do with me? My mouth grows on them, and I can't just draw my sword and cut it all the way because they gossip about me. ”
"So don't always think about drawing your sword and cutting people...... Do you recall what other things worth mentioning in your life besides drawing a sword and cutting people? ”
"I have destroyed more than a dozen sects, cut down several famous immortal mountains, and even crossed the catastrophe, and I have also killed a lot."
"Isn't that still a cut! Can't you just find something more meaningful to do? ”
"I have nothing but the sword."
“…… So, if you go on like this, you're really going to be a pervert! ”
"Are you better than me? Carrying pots all day long, pulling others to eat and drink when they meet someone who is in love...... Can you be a little more reserved as a Dan master? Do you know that with your seniority, Lu Dao is already at the level of the Supreme Patriarch of the various sects? ”
"I was originally a chef, and I entered the Tao with food, if I lost a normal heart because of my high Dao practice, how could I cultivate to the current level?"
Listening to the conversation between the two, Wu Jie's heart lit up suddenly, and he finally guessed the identities of the two people.
Two of the most legendary cultivators in the world have even been worshipped as gods in many places.
Zhang Guangli, the god of the stove, and the sword god abandons the swordsman!
Zhang Guangli is a typical casual cultivator from the grassroots, originally just a chef, he accidentally got a set of very ordinary cultivation methods, and then studied while cultivating, after cultivating successfully, he traveled the world, got a lot of opportunities, and finally became a generation of grandmasters.
The most famous habit of this predecessor is to carry a stove with him, he likes to cast spells through cooking, he once fed tens of thousands of people with a bucket of rice, and he also used to cook a pot of soup to set off a flood and make waves of Longjun, but his most famous is the art of resurrecting the dead - although there are many people with magical powers in the world, there are very few who are really known for bringing the dead back to life, and he is one of them!
Compared with Zhang Guangli, who left countless legends, the deeds of abandoning the sword are much less and much more monotonous. As Zhang Guangli said, this peerless sword god seems to be drawing his sword and slashing people all his life. It's just that all the enemies who faced him, as long as they didn't have time to escape, were hacked to death by him.
No matter how many people there are, no matter what arrangement, no matter what magic weapon is used, it doesn't matter how high the line is. In short, as long as you run slowly, you will be hacked to death with a unified sword.
If Zhang Guangli's name of "God of the Stove" is behind all kinds of witty and legendary stories, then behind the name of "Sword God" of the abandonment of swordsmen is only a mountain of corpses!
Wu Xie took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and was about to speak, when Zhang Guangli suddenly smiled and waved his sleeves towards the wall.
The whitewashed walls instantly turned into a huge screen, which reflected the scene by the city wall.
In the small open space that was flooded by countless people, Zhang Guangli, who was cooking soup with a pot, laughed and shouted, "Get out of the pot!" Then he threw the pot of boiling wine on the ground.
The wine fell to the ground, and five or six figures rolled out, their faces red and their eyes hazy, as if they were not lightly drunk.
Wu Xie looked carefully, but saw that these people were all wearing military uniforms, as if they were the soldiers who died on the ground at the beginning!
He was a step too late, only to see the corpses of these soldiers lying on the spot. Although he killed Rocher and avenged them, he was unable to return to heaven after all, and he felt a little regretful in his heart. Unexpectedly, Zhang Guangli really had the magic power to bring the dead back to life, and resurrected all the people who had been dead for a long time!
The families of the soldiers rushed over, crying and laughing while hugging their drunken relatives. The onlookers were talking, and they didn't know who the road started from, and people knelt down to Zhang Guangli and shouted "immortals".
It's just that before they knelt down, Zhang Guangli had already put away the pot, took a step with a smile, and disappeared without a trace.
With this step, a transparent figure returned to Zhang Guangli, and the wall finally returned to its original state.
Seeing this scene, Wu Xie no longer doubted it and bowed down.
"The younger generation has seen the Stove God Zhang senior, and the sword god has abandoned the senior! I don't know if the two seniors call the juniors to come, what do you have to order? ”
He originally planned that these two seniors had something to order, but unexpectedly he was dragged by Zhang Guangli to sit down, drink and eat.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, his state has fully recovered, and he was about to ask again if there was anything else to be done by himself, but the sword abandoner spoke.
"That man threatened to kill the whole city just now, why didn't you stop it?"
Wu Xie was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "He can threaten me with tens of thousands of people in the city today, and he will definitely be able to do even more heartless things in the future, as long as his ability is enough, he will kill 100,000 people and millions of people...... How could I let him go! ”
"But in that case, the whole city will bury him."
"I'll do my best to stop it, and if I can't stop it, there's nothing I can do."
"Don't you think you killed all these people?"
"It was Rocher, not me, who killed them."
"But this boundless killing, you will inevitably have to get a share. If you are involved in this killing, it will be difficult to cross the tribulation and soar in the future! ”
"If I let go of such a villain, how can I talk about any catastrophe and ascension? Besides, if I let him go even if I knew that he was so mad, wouldn't I be responsible for the sins he committed in the future? ”
"Aren't you in a dilemma? Why do you have to be involved in killing, don't you feel at a loss? ”
Wu Xie was forced to become more and more depressed by these words, and finally couldn't help but say loudly: "Where can I take care of so much!" Cut him and say it! ”
When he said this, he suddenly felt that Meng Lang was rude, and was about to apologize, but the abandonment of the sword disciple laughed.
"That's right! In the face of these extremely vicious people, where can they manage so much! Cut it and talk about it! ”
As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed at Wu Jie's eyebrows.
"Your personality is very much to my liking, but your swordsmanship is really bad, practice it well!"
With this finger, a wave of sword intent entered Wu Jie's mind, making him stay there immediately. I saw countless sword shadows churning in the spiritual realm, and I don't know how much energy it took to summarize them and turn them into a series of wonderful and powerful sword momentums.
Wu Xie exhaled deeply and opened his eyes. But I found that the time had already fallen into the night, and I was sitting alone in the hotel that closed late at night, and there was no one in front of me.
