Chapter 265: Half-Saint
Just as Lu An was puzzled and wanted to think of a reason, there was another sound of footsteps outside the door.
"There are four seasons in a mountain, and ten miles of different days. ”
Before anyone arrives, the sound comes first.
Lu An said respectfully: "Uncle Shi, you are here." ”
After Wu Xie came in, he didn't ask about Lu An's injury, and asked directly, "Do you know what I just said?"
Lu An thought for a moment and replied in a low voice: "This is describing the extremely tall mountain, right?
Wu Xie smiled and nodded, "That's right, that's what it means, the higher the mountain naturally needs to bear more, at the same time, the cold and warm in the spring, summer, autumn and winter worlds are shown on this mountain at the same time, if you want to become the mountain in other people's mouths, you need to bear a lot more than you can think." ”
Lu An nodded a little puzzled in this regard, "But, Uncle Shi, what are you referring to? Is this incident that I encountered today?"
Wu Xie shook his head, "Not really, how many times have you encountered this situation in the past two years?"
Lu An thought for a moment, "It's the second time." ”
"Then do you know how many times I've experienced it?" Wu Xie asked Lu An directly.
"A hundred times?" Lu An casually gave an exaggerated number.
Wu Xie chuckled directly, "A hundred times, no less than a thousand times, during the time when I didn't reach the grandmaster, there were people who came to assassinate and challenge at both ends in three days, and those people all wanted to become famous in one fight, and I was the best stepping stone they chose." ”
Lu An opened his mouth in surprise, no less than a thousand times, this number of times was really a bit surprising, and asked suspiciously: "Uncle Shi is really fake?"
"What's the good of lying to you? It's a good thing for you that someone comes to trouble you, it proves that you're not mediocre, and you can even say that because you're good enough to let those people come to you for trouble, you should expect more. Wu Xie said slowly.
Lu An grinned, understanding what Wu Xie wanted to say, "Uncle Shi, don't worry, I won't be decadent because of this, the more I fight, the more courageous I become!"
Hearing this, Wu Xie took out a pill and handed it over, "Eat it, and the injury will heal soon." ”
Lu An did it honestly, and after taking the pill, he suddenly felt a warmth pouring into his body, especially in his left hand, Lu An directly felt a tingling feeling, much more comfortable, and it didn't even seem to hurt anymore.
Lu An exhaled a long breath, and suddenly remembered the matter of the Sword Saint, and then explained it to Wu.
After Wu Xie listened, his face suddenly became solemn again, he didn't expect that this Sword Saint hadn't left yet, and what he did seemed to mean something.
There is such a person hiding aside, Wu Xie is still a little jealous, although he won the previous competition, but the other party did not lose much, if the two really fight, they may not be able to help each other for a while.
A sword saint can definitely contain him perfectly.
Wu Xie couldn't help but have a sense of crisis in his heart, now thinking about it, how did this suddenly appeared Sword Saint feel that it was used to contain him?
Seeing that Wu Xie was in a daze, Lu An asked, "Uncle Shi, what's wrong with you?"
"I'll take care of this matter, is there anything else besides this?" Wu Xie asked.
"Today, these two people may be from the Xiliang Sword Sect, I heard before that my head was rewarded with five hundred spirit crystal essences, and that person is likely to be Liang Liang who was severely injured by you, Senior Uncle. Lu An said.
"Liang Liang, is that the one who used the monster?" Wu Xie frowned and recalled.
Lu An nodded.
"That person was severely injured by me at that time, he didn't heal well, and he still had the heart to do such a thing?" Wu Xie was also laughed angrily.
Lu An could only laugh dryly, "I listened to Wei Wei about this matter, he said it very seriously, he shouldn't lie to me." ”
"It doesn't matter if it's true or not, that Liang Liang shouldn't be a threat now, even if he is injured, he is still half-disabled, and it is estimated that there are only six realms at most, at that time he was also eaten by monsters, I thought he was already dead, I didn't expect to dare to do this kind of thing in secret." Wu Xie snorted coldly and said.
Hearing Wu Xie say this, Lu An breathed a sigh of relief, but after thinking about it carefully, it didn't seem right, "Uncle Shi, as long as he doesn't die, then wouldn't I have to be hunted down and killed all the time?
Wu Xie nodded, "There are most of the strange things in this matter, it stands to reason that where can your current head be worth five hundred spirit crystal essences, Taiyi Sect has marked two hundred spirit crystal essences for you, I think it's a bit high." ”
Lu An was stunned for a moment, and his face was also red.
"Even if you can get into trouble, I think it's too high! By the way, the Taiyi Sect is coming tomorrow, and there are also Sword Pavilion, Yihuo Gate, etc., they are all here to find you, don't run around until the injury is healed." Wu Xie instructed.
Although Lu An was a little surprised, he still nodded, he had heard Li Mu say that Taiyi Sect was coming over, but he didn't know that they would come so quickly.
"Uncle Shi, are you sure they all came to me, just for my head, which is worth two hundred spirit crystal essences, and what is the reason why we lured people over?" Lu An asked directly.
Wu Xie replied directly: "It's very simple, I want to confirm something, about the Taiyi Sect." ”
"Oh, what's the matter, what's wrong with Taiyizong?" Lu An asked curiously.
"There have been a lot of new organizations in the north recently, these organizations are big and small, good and bad, the most famous are two, one is the Xiliang Sword Sect, and the other is the so-called Outer Heaven, don't you think these two times are too coincidental?" Wu Xie asked rhetorically.
"Uncle, what are you referring to? I don't understand it. Lu An shook his head.
Wu Xie continued: "The Xiliang Sword Sect has always existed, but it was in a tepid state before, but after the accident in the Great Zhou, or after the accident in Liang Liang, he rose directly, and the strength of the sect far surpassed those ordinary sects, and even had the ability to wrestle the wrists of those old sects, in addition to the rewards, they also did a lot of strange things, many of them were extremely secretive things, if they didn't investigate, they wouldn't be discovered at all." ”
"What's the matter?" Lu An asked directly.
"The people of the Xiliang Sword Sect have been digging into other people's corners, no matter who they are, as long as they are the people they fancy, they have exhausted their bright and dark means, and they really can't come directly, many people have gotten on their thief ships because of this, and the handle is pinched in their hands, and they can't leave if they want to. Wu Xie said solemnly.
Lu An also frowned, "How does this sound a bit like the way of doing things in the Easy Pavilion?"
Wu Xie also laughed, "At first, I also thought so, the way of doing things of the Xiliang Sword Sect is a bit similar to that of Xiaoyao Pavilion, except that one is a more tactful cooperation, and the other is extremely tough coercion, the two methods are still the same in the final analysis, I also specially asked Xiao Wu, he said he didn't know about this matter, and even how the Xiliang Sword Sect rose, Xiaoyao Pavilion couldn't say clearly." ”
"This can't be, right? Xiaoyao Pavilion doesn't know?" Lu An said directly and suspiciously.
Wu Xie also nodded, "You think so too, right? Actually, I think so too, Xiaoyao Pavilion is deliberately concealing this aspect of things, and the same is true for the outer heavens, for this organization that suddenly appeared, they also keep their mouths shut, or they don't want to talk about it, there must be a stake in this." ”
"So Uncle Shi, do you suspect that it is Taiyizong?" Lu An guessed according to his words.
Wu Xie nodded, "Apart from them, I really can't think of anyone else who has the strength to support so many organizations at once, and casually shut up Xiaoyao Pavilion." ”
Lu An nodded thoughtfully, but he still had a puzzled expression, "Taiyizong's strength is already so strong, why do you still want to do such a thing, is there any point in this?"
Hearing Lu An's simple words, Wu Xie laughed directly, "Meaning? Taiyi Sect is the largest sect in the five places today, this is an undoubted thing, but now it is, it does not mean that it will be in the future, they have always wanted to drill into the north now, and it is also under this calculation, the northern territory is rich in resources, if Taiyi Sect has a firm foothold here, then the hegemony of Taiyi Sect can last for another thousand years, if he can't stand firm, then his sect character may become a door, and it is exactly the same as Zhengshan Gate." ”
"But why is that?" To be honest, Lu An didn't know much about the division of the strength of this sect, and he wanted to know how the so-called one sect and three sects were divided.
"The main reason why the Taiyi Sect can still be called the Taiyi Sect is that there is a living saint in their sect, and it is not an exaggeration to call this person the strongest in the Five Lands. Wu Xie sighed, and his expression was a little complicated.
"Is it much stronger than you, uncle?" asked Lu An.
Wu Xie laughed directly, "Lu An, what I'm going to tell you next is a real secret, you can just keep it in your heart." ”
Lu An nodded hurriedly.
"In your eyes, cultivation is divided into nine stages, the Dao realm has nine realms, and the martial realm has nine grades, and achieving the ultimate is basically becoming a nine rank or the great master of the nine realms, right?" Wu Xie said.
Lu An snorted, and then wondered in surprise, "Could it be that you can go further?"
Wu Xie nodded, "That's right, although the Nine Grades and Nine Realms are already very strong, there are indeed other paths after this, and the legendary immortality should be this realm." ”
"Really, can you really live forever at the end of your cultivation?" asked Lu An nervously.
Wu Xie also shook his head, "It should be true, the things that have been passed down to this day should not be fake, although I haven't seen it, but I've heard it many times, isn't that what a real immortal is?"
Lu An's expression was shocked, and he nodded, "Uncle Shi, what do you mean by that, Taiyi Sect has an immortal realm?"
Wu Xie shook his head, "If that's the case, then Taiyizong is estimated to have unified the five lands, but unfortunately he is not, he is only one step away from immortality." ”
"Uncle Shi, how do you know about this kind of thing?" asked Lu An curiously.
Wu Xie smiled, "Twenty years ago, I saw him once, and he told me about immortality, and his expression at that time was the same as you are now, he was surprised, he is a good person." ”
Hearing the word "good person", Lu An was stunned for a moment, comparing a person who stood at the top of the cultivation realm to a good person, it was a bit too disobedient, right?
Wu Xie continued: "Compared to those who only know how to fight for power, isn't he an old man who doesn't care about anything?"
Hearing Wu Xie say this, Lu An could only nod his head, which could be regarded as agreeing with this sentence.
"Twenty years ago, I was just an ordinary grandmaster, at most I could only be regarded as a little famous, at that time he suddenly found me, chatted with me for a few words, and then guided me a few times, and then my strength began to skyrocket, and then he told me these things, and hoped that I could become the same person as him. Wu Xie said nostalgically.
"People like him, Uncle Shi, he has a very high opinion of you, and you are expected to be the same person as him. Lu An said with a smile.
Wu Xie also smiled lightly, and this sentence at that time really made Wu Xie feel a little frightened.
"Later, I realized how difficult it is to become like him! Although he is not the legendary immortal, at most he can only be regarded as a half-step immortal, but this realm is still unattainable even now. Wu Xie said with a sigh.
"What kind of realm is this uncle?" Lu An asked directly.
Wu Xie said: "If you have to call it, for martial artists, it is the tenth grade, which can be called a martial saint, and for monks, it is the tenth realm, the semi-holy realm." ”
Lu An snorted, "That is, there is another realm after this, and that is the so-called immortal realm." After saying that, there was a surprised expression on his face.
Wu Xie nodded, "That's right, it's immortal." Legend has it that there is another realm behind this realm, which is the kind of realm that can be on par with the sky and immortal, but unfortunately this is a real rumor, and no one has ever seen it. ”
"Is it more powerful than a saint? Is there really such a realm?" Lu An asked blankly.
Wu Xie also shook his head, "I don't know, immortality is already a thing against the sky, and it's even more powerful than this, so isn't it going to soar?"
"Isn't it impossible? There are so many rumors in the market, isn't this the so-called ascension to heaven?" Lu An asked rhetorically.
Wu Xie was silent for a moment, "To be honest, for so many years, there has never been a record of the so-called Ascendant, this is just a legend, it can't be true, the so-called immortal miracles are actually just a group of monks with great power, but ordinary people don't know much, and mistakenly think that we are immortals who fell from the sky." ”
Wu Jie's explanation made Lu An a little disappointed, today's immortal realm opened his eyes, he thought that the legendary Dao Ascension would be true, but he didn't expect it to be fake.
"Having said so much, I just want you to know why the Taiyi Sect is so strong now, why they have always had thoughts about the northern realm, because their saint is dying, it is estimated that it has only been a few years, so they have been looking for a new way, and the pillar that supports their strength is collapsing, so they are in a hurry. Wu Xie explained slowly.
Lu An was surprised, "There is such a thing. ”
"That's right, like an old man who has already seen everything, with his understanding of the Great Dao, he can naturally know when his limit is. Wu Xie said with a sigh.
Lu An suddenly remembered the Zhengshan Gate, which had declined, and asked directly: "Uncle Shi, according to what you said, the Taiyi Sect can be regarded as the strongest sect in the Five Lands because there is such a demi-saint, what about the Zhengshan Sect?
Wu Xie thought for a while, "When Zhengshanmen was once called Zhengshan Sect, its strength was also extremely strong, they were indeed very strong in that era, but it was many years ago, and now it can only be said that one generation is not as good as the next, and the current Zhengshanmen is indeed not qualified to wrestle with Taiyi Sect, and the so-called two-moon dispute is actually just a gimmick." ”
"Gimmick?" Lu An was a little surprised.
Wu Xie immediately explained: "That's right, the battle between the two moons seems to be the struggle between Lin Cangyue and Zhao Riyue, but in fact it is just a battle for Zhengshanmen to gamble on its reputation, and the declining Zhengshanmen can only pin everything on Lin Cangyue, if he loses, then Zhengshanmen will also lose." ”
"But Zhao Riyue is different, he was forcibly pulled into this struggle, winning or losing does not have much intuitive impact on him, winning should be, and losing will not affect anything, but Taiyizong's rules of conduct naturally don't want Zhao Riyue to lose, so there is such a thing, but for Zhao Riyue, this matter is really not a big deal, at most it is just an interesting matter. ”
Lu An frowned and nodded, if he was looking at it according to this statement, wouldn't Lin Cangyue's situation be very embarrassing, the future of the entire sect was on his shoulders, if he made a mistake, wouldn't the future of the entire sect be buried?
"Is this the reason why Zhao Riyue and Lin Cangyue have not decided the winner?" Lu An said.
Wu Xie shook his head, "This is the reason why Zhengshanmen has not dared to do so, Zhao Riyue is desperate to take off this name, this is not a good thing for him, it can even be said to be a drag, as Zhao Riyue's fame is getting bigger and bigger, Lin Cangyue's reputation is also the same, and he has also raised a lot, I have to say that Lin Cangyue has been blessed by him." ”
Lu An showed an extremely strange expression, he didn't believe Wu Jie's words, but he didn't know how to refute them, among all the people, Lin Cangyue and Zhao Riyue seemed to have always been a pair to be compared, but from Wu Jie's mouth, the two made a judgment, Lin Cangyue was stained with Zhao Riyue's light, and only then did he have this status.
Lu An didn't believe this kind of thing, and he wouldn't believe it, Lin Cangyue would be so much worse than Zhao Riyue.
"You don't believe it?" Wu Xie asked as he looked at Lu An.
