"Senior, please show up and see!"
"..."
After Gu Yu finished saying this, after waiting for a while, he felt that terrifying sense of oppression slowly disappearing, so he congratulated himself secretly.
Don't look at the opponent's mouthful of juniors, full of arrogance, but he feels that this is obviously a bit of bluff. Although the strength of the two sides is different, it is not so outrageous. If you fight to the death, you will only lose both sides.
It's not a feud, meeting for the first time, showing strength, in exchange for peace of mind, this is probably a necessary step.
At this moment, Lu Yuanqing and the others reluctantly stood up, and approached with pale faces. The amazement in their hearts was greater than the fear. Outside the Dharma-ending era, the new world has just opened. They didn't want to think that there are still old gods/monsters left in the sacred mountain that has been passed down for thousands of years.
They stood together, looked forward together, and the confusion formed by the entanglement of spiritual consciousness receded, revealing the true face of the small stone palace. This is a very remote house. Compared with other magnificent halls, just looking at the stone gate and wall decorations, it looks very pitiful.
Several people paused, but Gu Yu stepped forward and stretched out his hand to push.
"Squeak!"
The stone door opened, and the four of them entered the room, and saw a stone couch, a set of tables and chairs inside, and an oil lamp with a simple shape that looked like bronze on the table.
Other than that, nothing else.
"call!"
While they were looking at it, they suddenly heard a soft sound, and a flame burst out from the oil lamp, which burned itself on the lamp. The flames are slender and blue in color, faintly reflecting the stone chamber, exuding a kind of coldness and loneliness that has traveled through thousands of years.
"Senior, you..."
The four of them noticed that the smell of the oil lamp was strange, but it was inconvenient to ask. The other party didn't care, and only heard a voice in the air: "Yes, I am in this lamp. Who are you, please report your name!"
Immediately, several people reported their names.
Gu Yu saluted again, and said sincerely: "I really offended you just now, the younger generation's Taoist companion was trapped in an illusion, and I was impatient for a while, please forgive me."
"Hmph, of course I know that the woman is still inside, I think there is a reason for your incident, that's all."
He apologized again and again, this lamp is not a stingy person, so even if this page was uncovered, he asked again: "Are you current monks?"
"Exactly."
"Where is the outside world?"
"Well… "
The four looked at each other, and Lu Yuanqing responded, "This is the ninety-fifth year of the Xia Kingdom, three hundred and eighty-one years since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, and six hundred and forty-nine years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. Senior, may I ask where you are?" To which generation are they born?"
"..."
After speaking, there was a moment of silence on the other side.
After a long time, the blue light flickered for a while, and sighed softly: "I practiced in the Hongzhi period, and it was said that there is no time in the mountains, but I have slept for more than five hundred years! Alas, I don't know how many things have happened outside. , it’s rare for someone to come in, tell me what you say. Oh, I’m a teacher of Master Gao Jiu, whose surname is Wu Mingshan.”
So the four met again, Gu Yu missed Xiao Zhai, and said: "Senior Wu, if you want to hear outside stories, it's fine for me to tell you for three days and three nights, but before that, can you let her out first? "
"Hehe, I don't want you to be an infatuated seed!"
Wu Shan was very curious, and said with a smile: "You value the personal relationship of your children so much, how did you cultivate to such a level?"
"Cultivation is to cultivate the original mind. I have her in my heart, and this does not conflict."
"It's interesting what you said, it's quite similar to an old acquaintance of mine, alas..."
Maybe it was lonely for too long, so he sighed and muttered unconsciously, the oil lamp flickered again, Fang said: "It's not that I don't want to let it go, I didn't set up the phantom array, I can't do anything about it."
"But you have been in the mountain, how can you be powerless?"
"Who do you think I am? I'm just the most incompetent and naughty disciple under the real person..."
Wu Shan laughed at himself. He hadn't communicated with anyone for a long time, so he couldn't help but chattered, saying: "If you can summon the Great Court and enter the door, you are destined people. It doesn't matter if I talk about it. The two Immortals of Huayu practiced in the Yuan Dynasty and took in three disciples named Gao Wu, Gao Liu, and Gao Jiu, and the real Gao Jiu is my master."
Eh, don't be funny.
Check the genealogy of various sects of the Taoist sect, and there are quite a few people with the name of "charging the phone bill to send a child". The class gap in ancient times was more severe than in modern times, especially poor peasant households, who often did not have serious names.
Therefore, the appearance of this type of name is basically certain, and it must be from the bottom.
"I was lucky enough to worship a real person, but unfortunately my aptitude is limited, and when I cultivated to your level, I stagnated. Later, I ignored Master's dissuasion and wanted to advance to the realm, but something went wrong and almost disappeared. In the end, Master took action and intercepted Take a trace of my remnant soul and put it in the soul-cultivating lamp..."
When he said this, the four of them understood.
This Lushan has been sinking at the bottom of the river, and Wushan is also slowly recovering, and now it is nine out of ten. Although it has no physical body, the strength of the soul is close to the cultivation level of the previous life.
That is, the peak of human immortality, close to immortality.
"Can you discover the mystery of Qi?" Wu Shan asked again.
"But recovery from exhaustion, the ebb and flow of the tide?"
"Exactly. Now that you know it well, I'll put it simply. Pai Zhong Daoist found that one qi was about to be exhausted, so he wanted to raise his faction to ascend. At that time, my spirit was broken and I couldn't withstand the use of mana. Besides, the Great Court needed a gatekeeper. Just left me here. It is said in the world that the Great Court is in charge of the Dharma Master, but in fact it is not the case. The Dharma Master has already ascended in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, so how can he be in charge? But this mountain was made by him himself, in order to educate the world , pass down my orthodoxy. I have a lineage of celestial masters, and there are not many disciples. Each generation selects one to be in charge of Lushan's operation. The previous generation is Liu Zungong, the previous generation is Master Kang Erzhen, and the next generation is Huangshangong. That illusion It was set up by Liu Zungong, after hundreds of years, although its power has been greatly weakened, it has a special feature, which can only be revealed by self-enlightenment, if it is forcibly stopped, it will definitely be lost."
"Then is she in danger?" Gu Yu hurriedly asked.
"There is no danger to her life, but if she can't break the obsession in her heart, she may stay in it for the rest of her life."
"How long can Nalu Mountain last?"
"Is this..."
Wu Shan paused, and said: "In the past, real people were in charge. After teaching the Dharma, the mountain can be closed and closed. Now that no one is watching, I can only make a few adjustments, and I don't know how long I can last."
Gu Yu's eyes darkened, he believed that the other party didn't need to lie, since that was the case, he could only rely on Xiao Zhai himself.
At the end of his questioning, Lu Yuanqing opened his mouth and said, "Senior, you just said that all the true immortals of your sect have ascended, so where have they gone? Are they still on Earth?"
"Earth? What is the earth?" Wu Shan was puzzled.
"The earth is the world we live in." Shi Yunlai explained.
"Oh, this world." He understood.
The name of the earth, according to historical records, is probably what Guo Zizhang of the Ming Dynasty wrote to Matteo Ricci in the "Preface to the Complete Map of Qiancao Mountains, Seas and Lands": The sky has north and south poles, and the earth also has them. The sky is divided into three hundred and six. Ten degrees, and the earth is the same, so there is the celestial sphere, the earth, the longitude, and the latitude...
This should be the earliest statement.
"Where they are going, I am not in a position to tell. As for the earth in your mouth, it can be said that it is, or it can be said that it is not."
Wu Shan's meaning is obvious, it's a chance for you to come in. But how much can I reveal, this opportunity is not enough to support all.
"Senior, now the spiritual energy, oh no, will the true immortals feel it when the energy is revived?" Shi Yunlai asked suddenly.
"hehe… "
Wu Shan smiled strangely, and said to the point: "Are you afraid that they will come back and steal your fruit?"
"Well… "
Shi Yunlai was suddenly embarrassed and didn't know how to respond.
"When I sent Feisheng back then, it was because I expected what would happen next, and it wasn't just us, Quanzhen, Maoshan, Longhushan, Jianxian, Meishan, etc., all felt the same way. You say, five hundred years have passed now , I don’t know what’s going on in the outside world? From my perspective, your cultivations are all ordinary, and the strongest ones are only little immortals, who are similar to me, which shows the decline of the world.”
Wu Shan sighed inexplicably, and said: "Practicing the end of the law, even the mind has become so superficial. The real person travels in the void, and the Dafa master has a long life and long-sightedness, shining with the sun and the moon. Do you think they will come back to snatch this, uh, little earth?" ?”
…
Five years ago, the world was peaceful. No one knew what was Tao and what was immortal.
Four years ago, innateness was still the only thing I respected, and the whole country had to rely on it.
This year, there are seven Taoist monasteries, three in Phoenix Mountain, and one shaman. The highest level has reached human immortality.
And at this moment, the roof was pushed to infinity, infinity, and infinity...
Everyone has opened up wasteland for several years, fighting for resources, status, and popularity. Even the most peaceful people can't be peaceful in the face of this new world.
Then when it reaches someone's mouth, it becomes a small earth.
This strong sense of contrast made all four of them suspicious. You thought that you were already broad enough, but in the end there is something even wider and boundless.
Of course, the situation is different in ancient and modern times. In ancient times, the productivity was backward, the population was sparse, and there were even fewer monks. If you throw them into modern times, it's the same!
Gu Yu quickly stabilized his mind and entered his own track logic.
First of all, Wu Shan has no physical body, only a soul. In theory, he should be very eager for the body, but after he met a few juniors, he didn't say "Hey hey, I waited for five hundred years, and I can finally see the light of day again, quickly bring your physical body" and the like Secondary behavior.
It shows that this person's character is still good, or in other words, the thing of seizing a house is a crooked pursuit of evil sects, and Taoist sects disdain this.
Secondly, he is at the peak of human immortality, and he has a famous teacher to guide him, so his knowledge must be extensive.
Finally, there is the matter of Xiao Zhai...
Gu Yu has always believed in the principle of benefit exchange, except for a few close relatives and pursuits in his heart, he will not give or ask for nothing.
So he thought about it in his mind, and then said: "Senior Wu, dare to ask, your soul has been restored, so is there a way to restore your physical body?"
"call!"
The green lantern and blue flames swayed suddenly without any wind. It was the first time since they showed up that they fluctuated violently, and their tone was slightly low: "What do you want?"
