Volume 37 The Past Is Like the Wind
"What are you doing there, sit down!" Seeing Ming Xuan standing aside, Elder Chang Feng urged.
"Oh, good...... Good. Ming Xuan replied in a panic, far losing his usual composure.
"Don't you have a question for me?" Elder Chang Feng asked in a harmonious voice, not seeming to notice Ming Xuan's strangeness.
"Yes...... Yes. Ming Xuan was obviously still undecided, swallowed his saliva, and waited for himself to calm down a little, but Elder Chang Feng thought that he was sorting out the thoughts of the problem, but he didn't bother.
"I felt the Sword Realm again, but this time it felt strange. Ming Xuan said slowly, slowly adjusting his mind.
"Oh, what a strange method?" Confirming that Ming Xuan had really entered the artistic conception again, the elder was very pleased.
"After entering the artistic conception this time, it did give me a feeling of sudden enlightenment, as if all the previous obstacles were all broken through at once, but it also brought me a strange feeling, it seemed that it was too smooth, as if it was ...... It's like a person who is about to starve to death, and a table full of sumptuous food suddenly appeared in front of him, and it was all delicacies from the mountains and seas, and he was a little scared to eat it. Ming Xuan really didn't know how to express the feelings in his heart, so he gave a similar example.
"Hahaha, that's a good example!" Being able to associate cultivation with eating, Elder Chang Feng couldn't help but laugh a little.
"Ask the elders for advice. Mingxuan's cheeks were slightly hot, but he was also a little embarrassed.
"I understand your question, but don't underestimate this state, which many people can't achieve in a lifetime! In fact, you don't have to worry, you should feel happy. Elder Chang Feng smiled slightly, and there was even a little envy in his eyes.
"Happy, how do you say that?" Ming Xuan still didn't understand.
"This is because the perception of your realm is already far higher than your existing strength! It makes you feel out of touch, just like a person who has the body of a child but has the mind of an adult, how can he adapt to it all at once, just adjust it slowly, because your consciousness is already far ahead, and you will be able to maintain a relatively fast progress in cultivation in the future, which is very beneficial!" This state is just a luxury even if it is Chang Feng.
"I see!" Ming Xuan let out a sigh, and the uneasiness in his heart was completely removed.
"But I have to warn you again, if you want to hurry, you won't be able to reach it! It is certainly a good thing to make rapid progress in cultivation, but you must also take it step by step, and don't expect to reach the sky in one step! Only by laying a solid foundation can you have greater achievements in the future!" "It is difficult for a mediocre talent to become a genius, but it is only a thought that a genius becomes a mediocre talent.
"Ming Xuan remember the elder's teachings!" Ming Xuan bowed in response, and was about to get up and go out, but his eyes unconsciously stared at the painting hanging on the cave wall.
"You seem to be interested in this painting?" asked Elder Chang Feng with interest.
"I ...... I just think the people in this painting are very kind-looking. Ming Xuan was a little flustered.
"Then do you want to know who he is?" Elder Chang Feng asked meaningfully.
"Yes, if the elders are willing to speak. Hearing this, Ming Xuan unconsciously raised his voice, but he immediately felt that something was wrong, and quickly adjusted.
"Alas, it's a long story, he's my elder brother, and we haven't seen each other for nearly fifteen years. Speaking of the person in the painting, Elder Chang Feng couldn't help but sigh, as if he had returned to the past.
"His Taoist name is Chang Ming, and his common name is the same as you, and his surname is Gu, called Gu Liufeng; we participated in the selection of Qingyang Mountain in the same year, although there were not as many people who signed up as you at this time, but the competition was also extremely fierce, and those who could finally be selected to become disciples of Qingyangmen were undoubtedly the best among the people, and the rules of the year were the same as now, so we still didn't dare to slack off after becoming a disciple of Qingyangmen, and we still kept practicing hard every day, but even so, everyone would still have a level of strength, and Senior Brother Chang Ming was called Senior Brother by us, but not because he was the oldest, but he was the strongest among all of usFrom the beginning of the ranked battle when he first entered, he has always occupied the first place, and he has been like this every year in the future! And the gap with us has widened and widened, and his talent is extremely amazing! By the age of twenty, when we were still struggling to reach the fifth order of martial artists, he was already a master of the seventh order of martial artists! Looking at the thousands of years of history of Qingyang Gate, there were few such geniuses!" Even now when he said it, Chang Feng had to admire.
"Occupy the first place every year! At the age of twenty, he broke through to the seventh rank of martial arts!" Ming Xuan couldn't believe it.
And in the face of the cruel elimination rules, no one is willing to bow their heads lightly and give up, let alone admire anyone, all of them are immersed in hard work, but the strength of the senior brother makes everyone have to admire from the bottom of their hearts, because every knockout he has an absolute advantage to take the lead, even the second-place Senior Brother Chang Yun has no way to support a hundred moves in his hands!"
"How can it be so strong!" Ming Xuan really couldn't understand, when they came in, most of them were fifteen years old, at this age, everyone didn't start cultivating for a long time, even if the strength was stronger, but it shouldn't be too strong, how could it be possible to pull away from the second place so far, let alone other senior brothers!
"This topic was also a hot topic of discussion at that time, after careful analysis, the senior brother's talent at that time was very outstanding! At that time, his realm perception was far greater than his strength, so his cultivation progressed very quickly, and his own strength was also very strong! After all, he entered the Qingyang people with the first ranking, and because of his high ranking, he naturally got a lot of preferential treatment, and because of his outstanding talent, he could even often get the guidance of the elders, it was difficult to cultivate without dilition! What's more, he is still the hardest working one among us, don't look at how hard you are cultivating day and night like this now, Senior Brother Chang Ming has been cultivating like this since the first day he entered the Qingyang Gate, or rather, since he began to cultivate, he has developed the habit of day and night penance! Superior talent, strong strength, expert guidance, and hard cultivation are all one, even if we are arrogant, we have to be convinced by him, and respectfully call him Senior Brother!" Even when mentioning the name of Senior Brother now, Chang Feng is still very respectful.
As soon as Elder Chang Feng said this, Ming Xuan was speechless, no wonder Grandpa urged himself so strictly, it turned out that he was treating himself as his own standard, now that he thinks about it, Ming Xuan is really too far behind when he cultivates!
"In our group of disciples, the senior brother is undoubtedly the highest, and his nature is relatively indifferent and not very gregarious, so we all respect him a little, but that's just because of his character, in fact, he is still very sincere to people, if you ask him if there is anything you don't understand in your cultivation, he will help you answer in detail one by one, even if he can't figure it out, he will ask the elder on your behalf and help you figure it out, so although he is not gregarious, it does not prevent us from respecting him. Even if Chang Feng thinks of Chang Ming now, what will appear in his mind will be a lonely back.
"And what happened later?" Mingxuan was desperate to know all of his grandfather's past.
"Later, according to the rules of Qingyangmen, disciples who have reached the age of twenty must reach the strength of at least the fifth order of martial arts in order to become a disciple, and in the future, the disciples will go to the outside world to travel the rivers and lakes to increase their experience and expand their horizons, but also to hoe the strong and help the weak, to do chivalrous righteousness, and to fulfill the responsibilities of every Qingyangmen disciple! So after that, we separated and entered the rivers and lakes, but the news of the senior brother has never been broken, because he has done one earth-shattering event after another: at the age of twenty-five, he broke through the martial artist and became a capable man! He led the crowd to sweep through Feiyun Village and put an end to the bandits in Liaocheng for decades; he broke into the Demon Sect branch altar and seriously injured the son of the Demon Venerable and flew again! There are countless chivalrous things like this, which also makes him famous in the rivers and lakes! He had a place among the famous Zhongzhou Ten Heroes back then, and he was still the youngest!"
But Ming Xuan was full of enthusiasm when he heard it! I couldn't imagine that my grandfather, who seemed indifferent to the world, was so old-fashioned and enthusiastic and heroic when he was young, and he did so many earth-shattering things!
"Even if he has achieved such a reputation, Senior Brother Chang Ming is still so low-key, and he has never slackened off in his hard work, but he has worked harder and harder, and at the age of only fifty, he has broken through the realm of capable people and has become a master who can also have a place in Zhongzhou! At the age of eighty, he became an immortal! You must know that for us cultivators, as long as we break through the realm of martial artists, we can make our appearance no longer change, and our lifespan will be twice as long as that of ordinary people; when we reach the true one, our lifespan can reach five hundred years old! And an immortal has a lifespan of 1,000 years! Therefore, what a glory it is to break through the realm of capable people at the age of fifty and become an immortal at the age of eighty! Ordinary Qingyangmen disciples have only completed the breakthrough at the age of eighty! "Elder Chang Feng broke through to become a true person at the age of seventy-eight.
"Didn't you say that after breaking through the martial arts, you can maintain your appearance?, but I see that the faces of several elders are ......" Ming Xuan stopped talking, but the meaning was already obvious.
"That's because we don't care about our appearance, and if we elders look like yours in the same grade, we also lose the dignity of the elders, so we pretend to be an old man, you think we think, as long as we break through the true one, our appearance can change at any time. "Elder Chang Feng knew he was going to say this.
"Oh, what about the rest of the story?" Ming Xuan was still more concerned about his grandfather's past.
"Later, I'll have to ask you later. Speaking of this, Elder Chang Feng suddenly looked at Ming Xuan with a torch in his eyes!
"Ask me?" Ming Xuan didn't react yet.
"Ming Xuan, tell me about your grandfather, or my senior brother Chang Ming!" Elder Chang Feng said in a decisive manner!
