Chapter 340: They're afraid
The Book Saint and the Sword Saint of this generation were originally a Taoist couple three thousand years ago. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 Info went through a lot of things that worldly people go through, and eventually became separated from any worldly couple.
The Book Saint and the Sword Master do not have a road number. Because after entering the Taishang realm, the saint is their Tao name. Once upon a time, when there were several saints, they distinguished each other by their secular names. By this generation, the Dao Sect and the Sword Sect had withered, and there were always only two saints for three thousand years, so this name was exclusive to the two of them.
The secular name of the Book Saint is Su Yusong, and the secular name of the Sword Saint is Zhuo Musha. But these two names are naturally not the real names of the current "Book Saint" and "Sword Saint". What are the original names of the two wandering souls that can possess the bodies of the Book Saint and the Sword Saint, Hu Quantum and Ke Quantum?
They don't know it anymore. Thus in private, for example, the two men were referred to by that name.
The holy palace of the Book Saint and the Sword Saint in the Cloud Mountain is hidden in countless roads and halls that extend in all directions. It is not as mortals imagine, but a fairyland surrounded by auspicious clouds and precious birds. But one thing is the same.
It's incomparably vast.
This holy palace is actually bigger than a small city. Although it is an inconspicuous small bubble compared to the entire Cloud Mountain, it is nearly a hundred miles long, nearly a hundred miles wide, and several miles high, and it is no longer exhaustive for mortals' eyesight.
But there's no darkness in it. There was a light on the ceiling, as bright as the sun. With shady green grass, towering trees, and winding rivers, it is clearly a small world.
Flocks of birds flew up from the lush forest, over the mist of the forest, into the air, and were skimming over a floating mountain.
The shape of this mountain is very similar to that of the cloud mountain, so it is called the small cloud mountain. On this small cloud mountain floating in the sky, there is a magnificent palace. This is the holy palace of the two saints.
Many monks in Yunshan may not be able to see this holy place in their lifetime. If you have the opportunity to come here to explore, you can't stay for too long. This vast space has been reserved for two or a few people for thousands or even tens of thousands of years. But right now, the two owners of this palace don't care about such a wonderful beauty.
"It's a pain in you. The white-haired scholar slapped his hand on the railing. This railing faces the cliff of Xiaoyun Mountain, and down is a river like a snake. The vast space is lit day and night, so that the river shimmers in a light indistinguishable from the sun, more like a giant snake.
He stood with his hands behind his back against the railing, squinting his eyes and looking into the distance—no one could tell what he saw for someone as powerful as he was.
The Sword Saint stood beside him and breathed a sigh of relief: "You and I both know that this day will come sooner or later. Over the years...... We've come to know their methods. The two of us have always been regarded as 'creatures' by them. Tell us to attend the Senate ...... It's just because of our cultivation. To this day...... I don't regret being an elder. Just thinking, why did we do this in the first place?"
The book saint laughed: "Why in the first place......?
"At the beginning, did we understand what righteousness, emotion, and responsibility were? We are all dead souls, refined into wandering spirits. To say that when we first joined the WTO, we only thought about doing things for the association, and where we would care about other things. To this day, I sometimes think about the past, and I feel terrified. I think it's wonderful—" he shook his head slightly, "most people live slowly and have their conscience refined. The two of us are the opposite—slowly living for a long time, refining our consciences. ”
He spoke impassionedly in the big house on the top of the mountain, but unfortunately he was only halfway through his speech, and he was expelled from the meeting hall by Nadi Gong. At this moment, when he returned to the Holy Palace, the conversation was provoked by the Sword Saint again, and it seemed that he couldn't hold it back for a while.
"If you want to say that we have this conscience, we are grateful for these two skins. The Book Saint looked down at himself, and there was a moment of confusion in his eyes, "The two of us, originally infiltrated the Dao Sect Sword Sect and served around these two saints. and then they received their flesh. This flesh ...... It is the flesh that rules the right way of the world. ”
"The respect and praise of those cultivators in Yunshan made us feel good. It's not that I get the praise. Rather, the longer I have been a false saint, the more I will understand the world. Therefore, I know more and more that the words of Xuanmen shepherding the world are not empty words. I also know that our every move is related to the hundreds of millions of people in the world...... The curtain is shading, hundreds of millions of people. ”
"Even if it's a heinous person, as long as he's not crazy. Once we have such a burden on our shoulders, where can we do as before? But after a long time, I have been forced to be embedded in these responsibilities - and now you ask me, am I a Xiu Quantum or a book saint? I can't tell!" the book saint said this, frowning. The hand on the railing clenched, but did not hold the railing finger marks.
So today I was thinking when I mentioned Jin Guangzi. The elders of the congregation said, "Our Freemasons are here to save the world." He also said that the Dao system and the Sword Sect of the Xuanmen are a group of living dead people who don't care about life and death, but they have embarked on a fork in the road and want to enter the devil. He also said that our Freemasonry is the right way to inherit the heart of heaven...... Therefore, there are many methods that the Dao Sect and the Sword Sect may not have. ”
"I believed in these things. But today I heard those words from him...... Makusha, which one do you think is the right path, the Xuanmen or the Freemasonry?"
Juggernaut didn't answer him immediately. She was stunned for a moment, waiting for a flock of birds to pass in front of her, and then whispered, "What do you want to do." ”
Because of her words, Shusheng's tone also became low, as if he was afraid of being listened to by a third person.
"We're going to tell the others about these things, what they said about Jin Guang Zi today. The Book Saint said slowly, "We used to be wandering spirits. After all these years of being a saint, the other wandering spirits hidden in the Xuanmen are also closer to us. The elders never put us in their eyes, and the geists should have known about it a long time ago. Although they are obsessed and crazy, they are not stupid. ”
"We have to be ready. When I asked them today, do you want to save only those 400 people? I don't say this casually. These people ...... Done. The scholar frowned, "Mutual aid, mutual assistance." If the elders are not with us, we cannot drown. Take the ship, or get on my own - that's what I'm going to do. ”
Juggernaut took a slight breath.
If it was really the Twin Saints, it would probably be difficult to have such vivid expressions and movements. However, today's Twin Saints are just wandering spirits in their skins after all, and their joys, sorrows, and sorrows may be more distinct than those of the pontifies and the masters.
"The flesh of the two of us is a saint. The Sword Saint pondered for a moment, "The body of the Taishang Realm. But there is a limit to the supernatural powers that can be used—after all, we don't have the Dao mind and perception of the Twin Saints. However, it is also a powerful character in this world, so the elders ...... It is good to value us, to appease us, and to make us elders. ”
"But Yu Song, you have to know that the elders are all Taishang cultivators. The Sword Saint frowned, "When Di Gong came to the Holy Palace in the thirty-sixth year, he saw the Sword of Life Double Cultivation left by the former Sword Saint, and picked it up and played with it at will. The sword had a spirit of its own, and it stabbed him with its spurts—and he was unscathed. Indeed, this is the flesh of the Supreme Saint. ”
"Four hundred and twelve elders...... Both. Yu Song, you want to take the ship or get on your own ship...... Don't you think we're too weak?"
The book saint turned to look at her. After looking at it for a while, he said in a low voice: "They are indeed the physical bodies of the Taishang Realm. But here's the problem...... More than a thousand years. We've been with them for more than a thousand years, and have you ever seen them perform any kind of magical powers?"
The Sword Master frowned: "They always have to hide their whereabouts......"
"That's not what I said. The scholar shook his head, "For example, you are a sturdy adult in the world, but now you have to pretend to be a child. Although you are always attentive, there will always be flaws. For example, if you go up the stairs - an adult can walk up, but a child has to move step by step. Now the adult, who is pretending to be a child, is still strong and burly...... Can he remember this all the time and never step up one step?"
"There are many inconveniences in coming and going up and down in this cloud mountain. But the elders, no matter how troublesome it is, do it all in the way of mortals. They have been hiding in the cloud mountains for more than a thousand years, and they have never heard of anyone who has seen through them. Do you really think ...... How would a person as arrogant as they be so careful on a daily basis?"
The Sword Saint looked at him suspiciously: "What do you mean ......?"
"I've been observing and thinking about it for a long time. The Shusheng's voice became deeper and lower, "I think the current situation of the elders is that they have a body in the Supreme Realm, but because of some restrictions and constraints, they can't exert their magical powers! That's why they want to create geistins, saying that they are too lazy to do the little things...... In fact, you have to rely on the geist!"
That is why I have said these words today. What was the result?" Shusheng sneered, "just banished us. And this expulsion from the Senate is still 'to see the aftermath'! They never put the geist in their eyes, but what about us now? They are afraid and can't leave us!"
"Think again. The elders say that a terrible catastrophe will come in the future, and they want to save the world. In this case, you and I are already double saints, and thirty percent of the Dongtian school is in the hands of Freemasonry. As long as we continue to hibernate, the entire Xuanmen will be replaced by us within a thousand years!"
"The Xuanmen, which has been operating in the world for 50,000 years, has such a solid foundation and terrifying power - if it can be used, why not use it to save the world!"
Shusheng paused, and his voice was lowered: "Because, they are afraid!"
"They are afraid of forces that are too powerful and beyond their control!"
