Chapter 270: Detachment from darkness, not a book of heaven
Xi'e and Yuekui are gone.
Without saying too much goodbye, the two girls asked about the specific situation of the Wuzhu statue and left immediately.
In this world, except for the two of them, no one can understand how important the Wuzhu statue is to the hidden witch lineage.
As the high priest of the hidden witch lineage, Yue Kui deeply understands the heavy responsibility on her shoulders, so when she left, she did not go to see Li Su.
She was afraid that she would be reluctant.
Li Su and Zhao Yuding stood outside the hanging knife house, a little reluctance flashed in one person's eyes, and a smile flashed in the other's eyes.
"It seems that the statue of Wuzhu is very important to the Hidden Witch lineage." Li Su whispered, his eyes had lost the trace of Yuekui, and his heart became a little empty.
He had a strong premonition that this parting might really have to wait until the trip to Chaoge three years later before they could see each other again.
Even though he has been tired of being crooked for three days and three nights in a row, he is still full of reluctance at this moment.
Unconsciously, Yue Kui has occupied a considerable weight in his heart.
"I heard that the statue of the witch god hides the most important inheritance of the hidden witch lineage." Zhao Yuding said leisurely, "Yue Kui is the high priest of the hidden witch lineage, and when he heard the news of the statue of Wu Zhu, he naturally rushed over as soon as possible. ”
Li Su glanced at Zhao Yuding and said suspiciously: "Master, how do I feel... You seem to be happy when they leave? ”
"Hehe~, Yuekui is a little contradictory to your Xiangxiu uncle, if she doesn't leave, your Xiangxiu uncle will not be able to show up." Zhao Yuding smiled.
"Uncle Xiangxiu..."Li Su was stunned, then his heart moved, and he asked tentatively, "Uncle Xiangxiu has returned?" ”
"The news about the statue of Wuzhu was told to the teacher by Xiangxiu." Zhao Yuding said with a smile.
Li Su paused, not knowing what to say for a while.
In the eyes of this master, it is obvious that Xiangxiu is the real person.
"Master, are you sure that the statue of Wuzhu appears in Shu... Is this news true? Li Su stared at Zhao Yuding and asked faintly.
Zhao Yuding chuckled and said: "The news of Xiangxiu will naturally not be fake. The teacher just didn't want the high priest of Yuekui to meet with Xiangxiu, but he didn't think of deceiving the high priest of Yuekui. ”
"That's right." Li Su breathed a sigh of relief, and said in his heart that if you deceive my Yuekui, then you will probably accompany your new apprentice to chase after him.
Between Xiangxiu and Yuekui, as the only man in Yuekui, he will definitely choose Yuekui without brains.
"Don't worry about the high priest of the moon." Zhao Yuding looked at the golden curtain barrier around the Hanging Sword Mansion, and said with emotion, "With Huaizhu following her, no matter where she goes, it will be fine." ”
"Huaizhu..."Li Su looked at Zhao Yuding and asked curiously, "Xi'e is very strong?" ”
Huaizhu, that is, Xi'e.
"You are in the forbidden land of gods and demons, you should have seen it." Zhao Yuding said softly, "Thanks to her, this time we can save the day." ”
"How does her strength compare to Wu Jian?" Li Su asked, he was quite curious.
From the first day he met Xi'e, he knew that this woman was a strong woman who was not weaker than Yuekui, but he didn't have much idea of how strong it was.
In the forbidden land of gods and demons, it can be regarded as having seen Xi'e make a move, but it is still impossible to determine what range Xi'e's strength is.
"Compared to Wu Jian...... Zhao Yuding muttered, "If it is compared to Wu Jian, Huai Zhu is better at defense and escape. ”
Li Su blinked and asked tentatively, "You mean, in a head-on confrontation, Xi'e is not as good as Wu Jian?" ”
"Their realm is comparable." Zhao Yuding said cryptically.
Li Su understood.
Fighting head-to-head, Xi'e can't help Wu Jian; But if Wu Jian wants to kill Xi'e, it is also very difficult.
In particular, Xi'e is a talisman master, if she prepares in advance, she can prepare all kinds of spirit runes to defend herself, which can be called invincible defense.
"It seems that it is a bit difficult to beat this old virgin." Li Su secretly said that if his strength allowed, he would have wanted to beat Xi'e a long time ago.
He believed that if he had the chance, the woman would definitely not hesitate to beat him up.
"There's one thing, three years, you can think about it slowly." Zhao Yuding looked at Li Su.
"Master, please speak."
"About Wu Jian." Zhao Yuding said, "After you worship the Golden Scale Gate, Wu Jian's father, Wu Qi, can be regarded as your master." ”
Li Su grinned, "From the beginning of Master Bowu, Wu Jian and I are considered senior brothers?" ”
"It's not child's play." Zhao Yuding stared at Li Su and said seriously, "That wife of yours, Princess Yunran, has a grudge against Wu Jian for the destruction of the country and the clan. ”
Li Su's face also became a little serious, and he nodded and said, "I know." ”
He added in his heart: "Not only Tian Qi and Ziying, but now there are more Yue Kui." ”
"You're going to kill Wu Jian in the future?" Zhao Yuding asked.
"There will be a battle between me and Wu Jian." Li Su looked at Zhao Yuding, "This battle is not because Wu Jian commanded the troops to destroy Chu. ”
Zhao Yuding was stunned for a moment, and said slowly: "Because of Jiang Zuo? ”
"Not bad." Li Su nodded and said, "Lao Zuo lost face with Wu Jian, and I have to help him get it back."
A battle between me and Wu Jian is imperative.
As for Wu Jian's command of the army to destroy Chu...... To be honest, it doesn't have much to do with me.
However, since I am the husband of Princess Yunran, I also have plans in the future to help Princess Yunran recover the Chu Kingdom.
At that time, if Wu Jian is still alive and is still the king of Wu'an of the Daqian Dynasty, then I will confront him on the battlefield.
There is no hatred between me and Wu Jian, but there is a duel between the strong. ”
"The duel between the strong..."Zhao Yuding realized.
Li Su smiled and said: "Putting aside all grudges, I actually admire Wu Jian." ”
It's the truth.
At the beginning, he followed Lao Zuo to Taihu Lake, and when he first met Wu Jian, he admired Wu Jian.
After all, not everyone has that belly, and they are indifferent to watching their daughter being choked by the neck by a newly recognized man.
"He appreciates you too." Zhao Yuding said suddenly.
"Wu Jian admires me?" Li Su blinked, and said in his heart, isn't this normal?
It is normal for strong people to appreciate each other...... In particular, I also gave him a few pretending quotes.
Zhao Yuding said leisurely: "You are wanted by the Great Qian Dynasty, and the bounty is as high as 300,000...... The biggest reason is not Xiao Yuancheng, but Wu Jian.
At least half of the 300,000 bounty is what Wu Jian helped you fight. ”
“……”
Li Su's face froze slightly.
"You probably don't know it yet." Zhao Yuding smiled and said, "When Wu Jian escorted Jiang Zuo into the court, and when he met Emperor Qian, the most talked about content was about you. ”
"About me?" Li Su blinked, and his heart beat a little faster.
"If the situation of the Daqian Dynasty does not change in the next three years, then after three years, there is a half chance that you will meet Jiang Zuo." Zhao Yuding said softly.
"It seems that I need to cherish these three years." Li Su smiled suddenly, without fear in his heart.
Zhao Yuding also smiled.
"In the past three days, you should have rested enough, it's time to follow the teacher to learn about our Golden Scale Gate."
"Okay."
Li Su quickly cleaned up his mood and left the Hanging Knife House with Zhao Yuding.
The two of them walked along a path of stone steps, all the way up.
The environment on both sides is extremely quiet.
"Compared to the big sects such as the Lingshan Sword Sect, the number of disciples of the Golden Scale Sect is really small." Zhao Yuding said softly, "In the future, your days of cultivation in the mountains will definitely be much cleaner than your past life. ”
"The disciple's life in the past has actually always been quite pure." Li Su said, this is the truth.
In Gusu City, in addition to sleeping, he spent most of his time cultivating and refining his physique; Before he met Tian Qi and Ziying, in his life, the one he had the most contact with was Zuo Qianhu.
"When I say purity, I mean living alone in the mountains." Zhao Yuding said, "Just like a hermit, you eat alone and cultivate alone." ”
"Uh...... I don't eat with my sisters? Li Su blinked, thinking that if he didn't even eat together, how could he cultivate feelings?
If you don't have deep enough feelings, how can you connect with each other and then practice the technique of joint attack?
Zhao Yuding said with a smile: "Your six senior sisters have different personalities, and they don't eat together.
Moreover, Yuquan Mountain is not small, and the seven of you live in the same area, so it would be a waste of time to get together for three meals a day.
To each his own, to each his own, as he pleases.
The resources in the mountains are at your disposal, and you can do whatever you want to eat. ”
"My six senior sisters all know how to cook?" Li Su didn't believe it.
Zhao Yuding didn't answer, but asked, "Where do you live during this time?" ”
Li Su understood in seconds, and couldn't help but complain: "I thought that the mountain retreat you said was isolated from the world, and you can still go to the town?" ”
"The small is hidden in the wilderness, and the big is hidden in the city." Zhao Yuding smiled and said, "The master of the teacher once said that one of the meanings of the existence of that town is to let us feel the joy of cultivating in the hidden world from there. ”
"The joy of cultivating in seclusion?" Li Su was stunned and didn't know what he meant for a while.
Zhao Yuding said: "When you were in Gusu City, when you were eating in restaurants and shops in the city, what was your mentality?" ”
"The mentality when eating..."Li Su said thoughtfully, "A monk with the power to transcend the mortal dust, walking in the red dust, has a calm and calm mentality, and there is also a kind of pretentious contempt. ”
"Pretentious Eyeball?" Zhao Yuding glanced at Li Su, "As a teacher, it is a kind of peace of mind. ”
"Dark?" Li Su blinked.
Zhao Yuding smiled and said: "You are stronger than them, you know that you are stronger than them, they don't know that you are stronger than them...... Based on this, when you get along with them, your mind will naturally be peaceful and there will be a kind of detachment. ”
"Master, your state of mind has always been so dark?" Li Su looked at Zhao Yuding and asked curiously, "What if you meet someone stronger than Shizun?" ”
Zhao Yuding sighed and said: "The person who is detached from the dark is him." ”
"Detached... Dark? Li Su raised his eyebrows lightly and said with a smile, "It turns out that the so-called detachment is dark and cool?" ”
"Or else?" Zhao Yuding said with a smile, "The three sects of the Dao Sect all have a tradition, after the disciples reach a certain level of cultivation, they will all choose to enter the WTO and travel through the red dust.
Guess what, what was the mentality of those Daomen disciples when they traveled to the world? ”
Li Su thought for a moment and said, "It's like a ghost, walking everywhere." ”
"Ghosts?" Zhao Yuding thought for a moment and said, "You're talking about that Heavenly Sect's female leader, Fairy Yuheng. ”
Li Su nodded and said, "Fairy Yuheng is proficient in the ethereal dragon body, and his light skills are peerless, even if he is in the same room as you, you may not be able to find out." ”
"What do you think of her state of mind?" Zhao Yuding asked.
"Mentality ......" Li Su thought for a while and said, "She walks the world and observes the red dust... The mindset should always be from the perspective of an observer. ”
As she spoke, a flash of surprise flashed in Li Su's eyes, "When she observed, she pulled herself out of the red dust."
Is this detachment? ”
"To be precise, this is the detachment that the teacher understands." Zhao Yuding smiled and said, "The detachment of the Daomen is much more complicated than this. ”
"Detached, dark...... Is this your state of mind? Li Su looked at Zhao Yuding.
Zhao Yuding said with a smile: "Perhaps, this is not the state of mind, but the character of the teacher, the way of cultivation, after all, it is too boring, and the teacher does not like to fight with others..."
"Master, your realm is very high." Li Su smiled, "At least higher than the disciple."
If you compare your cultivation to returning to your hometown, you are a person who can endure loneliness and walk at night in brocade clothes.
And disciple, I probably might think about showing off a show. ”
"It's like you standing in front of the Yuquan Spirit Mirror in front of those Tianjiao, showing off your body?" Zhao Yuding teased, thinking back to the apprentice's demeanor at that time, he still felt a little funny.
Li Su's face was as usual, "That's not the same as strength, just in terms of body, I am confident that I am unparalleled in the world." As for strength, I don't have that confidence yet. ”
Zhao Yuding shook his head and said, "In the past three years, one of your cultivation tasks is to restrain your mentality of wanting to 'show off'. ”
"Uh......" Li Su paused.
Zhao Yuding said softly: "One of the meanings of our cultivation is that we don't have to restrain this mentality.
When you are strong enough, you don't need to show off, and sentient beings can understand how powerful you are; If you are not strong enough, any of your show-offs may be a provocation in the eyes of the strong. ”
"The disciple has been taught."
Li Su nodded seriously and said, "If it is not necessary, the disciple will always keep a low profile." ”
“……”
While talking, the two came to a hidden stone house on the top of the mountain.
"Heavenly Book Palace?" Li Su looked at the stone carvings above the gate of the stone house and read them lightly.
"Do you remember the poem I told you before I became a teacher?" Zhao Yuding asked softly.
Li Su nodded, and said softly: "How can the golden scales be a thing in the pool, and they will be nine times in the sky." ”
Zhao Yuding's empty left sleeve waved slightly, and the door of the stone house in front of him rumbled, and the two stone doors disappeared from the middle, towards the stone walls on both sides.
A deep darkness emerges.
Li Su stared, as if he was staring at the darkest abyss, unable to see through this Heavenly Book Palace.
"Walking behind the teacher, stepping on the footprints of the teacher." Zhao Yuding explained softly, and then walked into the Heavenly Book Palace.
"Okay."
Li Su took a deep breath and followed closely behind Zhao Yuding.
