Chapter 198 Li Changsheng and Lu Changzhi
Lv Changzhi fell into a complete daze and self-doubt.
He has never heard of it, neither the master nor the sect classics mentioned it. This is not surprising, there are very few people who know the relationship between Sword Immortal and Li Changsheng, and none dare to take a pen to record it.
The mention of the power of the sword fairy is terrified.
And Li Changsheng was not a talkative person in the first place. In Lu Changzhi's impression, he basically didn't show any emotions, let alone talked with him about the past. If it wasn't for the fact that he had a child by his side, or that he often helped the people, Lu Changzhi would have suspected that the Killing Sword Master had already reached the legendary state of forgetfulness.
Such a character will have a Taoist partner?
Lu Changzhi expressed doubts, he is not a monk of the retro sect. In his time, the meaning of Taoist couple had actually been linked to his wife, and he was more inclined to call his friends who were in the same pursuit of Taoism.
Simple and straightforward, and more importantly, there are very few people who can truly seek the Tao together. There is almost no difference in talent, people who have the same pursuit in a certain field, and people who can talk about progress together, the probability can be imagined.
Wait, if what Jianxian said is true
Lv Changzhi suddenly recalled one thing, His Majesty often went to the back mountain of Jianzong, and sat in front of an unnamed tomb for several days. They used to have a lot of guesses about the owner of this tomb, but they can basically confirm that it is a certain senior Jianzong.
It's just that for some reason or the wishes of this senior, there is no record about this tomb in the sect. A few older elders only knew that the tomb had existed for hundreds of years, but they didn't know how long.
At that time, the average life expectancy of Jianzongmen was only fifty.
But Lu Changzhi finally found out some information. The owner of this tomb was named Dong and named Yunshu.
Lv Changzhi asked nervously: "Dare to ask the sword fairy's name, but his surname is Dong."
Dong Yunshu nodded slightly, and Lu Changzhi suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and the state of mind that had been tempered for many years set off a turbulent wave.
Your Majesty and Sword Immortal are Taoist couples. He just used His Majesty's sword intent to fight Sword Immortal. It shouldn't be a problem, right?
It should be fine, Your Majesty is not a stingy person, and Sword Immortal has not suffered any harm
Lu Changzhi quickly suppressed the panic in his heart, but he was still extremely shocked. It was the first time he had seen two kendo masters as companions.
There are quite a lot of friends who nod to each other, and there are not no friends who forget the year. But Taoist couples are rare, almost none, and the chances of two contemporaneous deities coming together are infinitely close to zero.
"Back then, Your Majesty was so calm in his pursuit of the demon girl. I thought that Your Majesty had really reached the realm of forgetting love."
Lu Changzhi's face suddenly untied, and he solved the doubts he had had for many years.
The biggest doubt in his life is whether Li Changsheng has reached the realm of being too forgetful, and often the state of mind and behavior of the lord do not match. Every gesture exudes a Taoist rhyme of forgetting love, but he often helps the people. When fighting, the safety of the people is more important than taking down demons and eliminating demons.
He has never been stingy in helping the people. He is a kind-hearted person who is flying in the sky and encounters people begging for rain, even if it is not him who is asking for rain.
It seems that Your Majesty is a person who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside
Zheng!
Subtle sword sounds resounded, and chilling sharpness appeared in the surrounding ten thousand zhang space.
Lu Changzhi's body tensed suddenly, and he subconsciously clenched the Heavenly Sword. The alarm bell from the depths of his soul made him almost swing his sword again.
And the source of everything was the woman in white in front of her. The softness on her face disappeared, leaving only a frosty face. Sword Immortal is not usually a very kind person, giving people the feeling of being extremely cold, as if no one can melt into his eyes.
The expression is still cold now, but on the contrary, there is a trace of emotion, a cold and biting killing intent.
"who?"
Boom!
The sound of the sword shook the sky, Lu Changzhi only felt his ears go deaf for a moment, and the instinct cultivated by thousands of life-and-death fights suddenly swung forward with a sword. A jade hand fell down and pressed on the Heavenly Sword, and the power that could cut mountains and rivers fell into silence in an instant.
Dong Yunshu is the real sword master, she can completely suppress the Heavenly Sword. The sword in his hand is just a weapon, even if he doesn't have the Heavenly Sword, he can kill dogs in the same realm like slaughtering dogs.
"Who is that witch?"
Lu Changzhi didn't even have time to think, so he blurted out: "She is an unborn ancestor of the Demonic Dao. She is extremely powerful, and her cultivation is half-step to transform into a god. I don't know why she fell in love with Your Majesty, and even publicly said that she is willing to work for her." Your Majesty returns to the right path.”
"Then what?"
Dong Yunshu's face became colder and colder, one village woman was enough, she didn't want another witch. And the identity of the other party is what she can't tolerate the most. People in the devil's way act recklessly, and there are very few people who don't have innocent souls in their hands.
The difference between them and demons is only one evil, and in many cases the two are interlinked.
It is only a lack of strength to distinguish the two. There is no difference between the two during the Sword Immortal period, and they will both become dead souls under the Heavenly Sword.
Lu Changzhi hurriedly replied: "It didn't take long before I was beheaded by my lord. She is also the demon that my sword sect wants to get rid of. She is responsible for the chaos in the world. That demon girl looks very infatuated, but in fact she peeped at my lord's body." , I want to cultivate the Dao of Transformation together with him."
"Your Majesty has never been charmed by a witch from the beginning to the end, and he has never had anything to do with other women since then. There are many women who pursue Your Majesty, but no one has ever been within three steps."
It is natural for the strong to be sought after, especially the monks are more attracted to the strong than ordinary people. Not everyone likes the strong, but there will never be a shortage of people who like the strong.
As soon as the words fell, the biting chill disappeared.
Dong Yunshu's restrained aura, although his face was still cold, did not have the murderous aura just now.
As if he had realized it, Lu Changzhi continued: "Your Majesty has always missed you. Every spring, I will go to worship you and sit for several days. I have not retreated for a day for decades. I am afraid that I miss you and think that I cannot enter meditation. Feelings fear you like a great way."
He didn't know the relationship between Sword Immortal and His Highness before, and subconsciously regarded the other party as an enemy. Because there can only be one sword master of the Heavenly Sword, if the lord is also reincarnated, then the sword fairy and the lord will inevitably have a life-and-death struggle.
As the saying goes, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, unless one male and one female.
Tianjian does not allow two masters unless one is a man and one woman. The two of them are Taoist companions, and it is not impossible to use Tianjian interchangeably.
Dong Yunshu said with a normal expression: "I believe in Brother Li, you don't have to explain it like this. You have just reincarnated recently and your cultivation has not recovered, so you should stay in the door to cultivate."
"Great Elder, please take care of him for me so that he can restore his Golden Core cultivation base."
This time it was the turn of the elders to be confused. They had never been treated like this before, and the response of the Sword Immortal who returned to the sect to them was no more than a nod.
How can there be such a person to take care of?
Boy didn't come to kick the gym, he came to flatter.
Lv Changzhi sensed the vague hostility from the people around him, thinking that it was his behavior of being courteous that attracted the disdain of the people around him.
He secretly groaned, if the other party was not a respected Taoist companion, he would really come to kick the hall.
"Sovereign, I'm afraid this is a bit inappropriate." The elder categorically rejected the sword fairy's request, and said bluntly: "This person was quite hostile to you before, so you can take care of him, but for the time being, you cannot give him the resources to restore the golden core stage."
Sword Immortal is not in charge and doesn’t know the price of firewood, rice, oil and salt. The golden core stage can almost be said to be the top cultivation level in this world, and most reincarnated strong people are in this stage. Correspondingly, the resources that have been cultivated to reach this period are also more precious than those in the previous life, which cost at least 10 billion when converted into Chinese currency.
Compared with the 50 billion a year ago, it has dropped by 80%, but it is still a considerable expenditure.
Must be the Great Elder!
The other elders secretly gave the Great Elder a thumbs up, and this was the only one who dared to talk to the Sword Immortal. Others dare not release one because they have no relatives and no reason.
Dong Yunshu said in a slightly slower tone, "Great Elder, please."
The Great Elder looked away slightly, Dong Yunshu begged him to let him figure out Li Changsheng's position that way.
If it weren't for Li Changsheng, Yun Shu might not have been trapped in love, and would have gone further and would not have died at the age of a thousand.
"Great Elder." Dong Yunshu's voice slowed down again, with a hint of prayer.
"...Hmm, just this once."
"Um."
Dong Yunshu knew that there would be a next time, so he had to ask the elder a little. The other party will definitely agree unconditionally, no matter in the previous life or in this life.
It’s not that I didn’t know that I traveled with Brother Li to visit the mountains and waters, but the elders suppressed it despite all the arguments.
The next moment, Lu Changzhi left his feet off the ground, and flew towards the top of Tianjian Peak with a dazed expression on his face. When he came back to his senses again, he was already in the clouds, white clouds drifted under his feet, and there was a pine tree not far away.
Dong Yunshu appeared under the pine tree, leaned over and sat cross-legged, and said, "Tell me everything you know about Brother Li."
Lu Changzhi knew that he had no choice, and he didn't ask the other party why. He collected his thoughts and said, "I met my lord in the first spring of a year, at a wonton stand on the side of the road. At that time, I just killed a foodie. A demonic demon who cultivated with human essence and blood, suffered heavy injuries, and fled into the mortal world..."
On the edge of the sword in the sky, only Lu Changzhi's slightly hoarse voice remained, and he recalled the most important turning point in his life.
The Heavenly Sword Sect was not brought to extremes by the Slaughter Sword Master, but was determined by the many great masters of the Sword Sect a hundred years ago. As their control over the world became weaker and weaker, the inferiority of not being able to supervise the mortal dynasty gradually emerged, and the world became more and more chaotic.
The initial chaos was that the princes had food, but the common people had no food.
When the world is in chaos, there will naturally be more and more demons and ghosts. In order to deal with these situations, Jianzong can only go to extremes. Because they are not extreme, more people will die.
So there are sword cultivators whose lifespan is less than thirty years, and they can often kill the enemy by leaps and bounds, and each one's combat power is comparable to the arrogance of heaven.
—————
Cultivation world, ordinary people, a certain town.
Taoist priests, one big and one small, came to the gate of the city with their bags on their backs, and the surrounding people seemed to be printed out of a mold. No matter men, women or children, they can't escape the withered complexion and skinny bones.
Their hands seem to be covered with skin, and only ribs remain in the chest cavity. The shape of their heads is visible to the naked eye. Each of them is like the painted skin figures refined by the monks of the sorcerer's way, only in human form but not in human form.
"Master..."
The little Taoist couldn't help but grabbed the corner of the young Taoist next to him, and looked at the people around him with fear.
With his current physique, he can fight ten of these "painted skin men". But after all, a child who has not experienced big storms is easily deceived by superficial things.
The young Taoist just said indifferently: "You should be vigilant against these people instead of being afraid, but the difference is not big. If you are in a warehouse, you know etiquette, and if you have enough food and clothing, you know honor and disgrace."
“You have to always put the worst kind of heart on people who are cornered and need a bite to eat right now.”
Hearing this, the little Taoist raised his head and asked, "It's just a meal, shouldn't it be difficult?"
"It is difficult to feed the people of the world." The young Taoist replied, and then strode forward to the gate of the city.
The Taoist priests, one big and one small, are Li Changsheng and Le Xiaoqi. The destination of their trip is the Shangqing Palace in Tianhua Prefecture, and now they still need to go through two mortal dynasties.
The farther you go to Tianhua State, the more chaotic the world becomes.
Jing Dynasty has completely faded away, the court has lost its basic control over the world, and even the court is the biggest cancer in the world.
Li Changsheng once questioned this, why the Heavenly Sword Sect did not destroy this mortal dynasty, and let those with great luck recreate the universe.
Whether it is leaving or entering Taishangwangqing, the process is gradual. It is impossible to cut off all the emotions and desires in one step, and vice versa. Li Changsheng had seen the Heavenly Sword Sect destroy the mortal dynasty, a sword fell from the nine heavens, and the entire palace was crushed to powder.
After that, all the royal family members died, and there was no possibility of survival. It is natural that there will be grievances, but this is the most efficient method with the fewest deaths.
Now it seems that Jianzong has a problem.
"Two priests, do you have a guide?"
The soldiers guarding the city stopped the two of them. These soldiers were only slightly better than the common people, but they were still malnourished.
Le Xiaoqi took a step forward, and the wooden sword behind her left its sheath out of thin air. The soldiers guarding the city understood and stepped aside one after another without asking any more questions.
For this kind of capable people, even if they have only a little ability, they can't be too embarrassing. The soldiers guarding the city didn't want to mess with these supernatural beings, and no one wanted to be killed in their sleep.
The two walked into the town and wandered aimlessly along the streets. After wandering almost half of the town, Le Xiaoqi finally couldn't help asking: "Master Daoist, what are you looking for?"
Li Changsheng looked at the street full of people coming and going, his eyes were rarely blurred, and he said, "Look for...the wonton shop from a long time ago, but now it seems that it is gone."
After many years, he came out of the mountain again. The common customs have changed, and almost all the familiar towns have undergone earth-shaking changes.
The road she walked with also disappeared.
"The chief, what should we do now? Can you walk faster, this town makes me very uncomfortable."
Le Xiaoqi couldn't bear to look at the scrawny people curled up in the corner.
He can't change anything, so he chooses to escape.
"Alright." Li Changsheng nodded slightly, "Let's hurry up to Shangqing Palace and send you into it."
Le Xiaoqi hurriedly changed his words: "Eh... the Taoist priest should look carefully, Xiaoqi is not in a hurry."
"Um."
Li Changsheng also didn't refuse. To him, it doesn't matter who comes first in these two matters. Anyway, it will take a few years at most.
Finally, the two found a wonton stand on the side of the road. The taste was not bad, but it was not what it used to be.
Li Changsheng glanced at the child next to him, probably because his companions were different. He lowered his head and ate a few mouthfuls of wontons, then suddenly raised his head to look at the crowd, and his eyes locked on a young man walking quickly with a sword in his hand.
The young man walked a few steps, and suddenly appeared in front of Li Changsheng. He looked dazed, describing that he hadn't figured out the situation, and after a few breaths, he drew his sword and looked vigilantly at the young man and child in front of him.
"There is no need to be so nervous, Pindao just wants to ask you one thing."
Li Changsheng put down his spoon, and said indifferently, "How is fellow Heavenly Sword Sect Xue Ye?"
Xue Ye, the name of the Sword Immortal.
Why is he asking this question? It is clearly known to the whole world, so did you just come out of the mountain after retreating and practicing?
The young man was full of vigilance, but due to the opponent's strength, he opened his mouth and replied: "Senior, the sword fairy has passed away for hundreds of years."
As soon as the words fell, the young man felt his world spinning for a while.
There was a bang, and the sky fell.
The roaring thunder tore through the clouds, leaving only white thunder in the sky.
In this way, Li Changsheng was one point away from recovering his emotions and desires, but he didn't feel any joy.
