Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty: Dead Time Has Come
"I understand."
After taking the two people to a pavilion and serving tea, the old man turned around and disappeared into the clouds.
Gu Sanqiu didn't care about the tea on the table at all. Instead, he took out his weapon and wiped it carefully, filling his whole body with a familiar feeling. This was also a way to improve his condition to the extreme.
"If you feel bored later, how about I ask the giant shadow to take you back?"
Hutao bared his teeth and said: "You bastard Qiuqiu, are you going to push me out when the tokens are used up? Sure enough, men are not good things!"
"There's something wrong with your survivor bias, and I'm afraid you'll be bored. Since you won't be able to help me later, you might as well go back and do your own thing."
Hu Tao rolled his eyes: "I don't want it. I want to stay here. How about you give me a bag of mola first? If you are beaten to death, I will treat you to a luxurious funeral package from the Rebirth Hall to ensure that you leave."
It was absolutely glorious when I was there.”
"What's the difference between this and cutting a handsome flag on the flagpole before going to war?"
Gu Sanqiu smiled helplessly: "You can stay if you want. Juying will be with you during this period. Just go back if you feel bored. Nothing will happen here."
Hu Taobi made a face: "Luanluoluo, I don't believe you. I haven't heard a few truthful words from you since I was a child."
"Gu Xiangjun, Hall Master Hu."
On the other side of the clouds, a strong old man holding a bamboo slip hurried over.
"I am the contemporary Master of Hidden Dragon Mountain. I already know what Mr. Xiang is here to do. I also ask Master Hu to stay. Mr. Xiang, please come with me."
"Are you the current owner of Hidden Dragon Mountain?"
Gu Sanqiu looked up and down at the old man in front of him, with a strange look on his face.
"To be honest, old man, are you sure your physical condition meets the standards to enter Hidden Dragon Mountain?"
What kind of place is Hidden Dragon Mountain? It is a holy land with a common lineage of spiritual practitioners, and it is also a nursing home for the elderly of many sects.
The requirements for entering Hidden Dragon Mountain are actually very simple. If you are old enough and physically unfit to use your remaining energy in the sect, if you meet these two requirements, you can come to Hidden Dragon Mountain to retire, because the environment here is one of the best in Minlin.
To be honest, the strong old man in front of me didn't look like he was up to par.
"Oh, I'm ashamed to say it, but I have indeed met the standard."
The old man smiled awkwardly: "I specialize in the physical body. This is what happened after my qi and blood weakened."
He is so hard-core that his energy and blood are weak, but it is also understandable. Although the old man in front of him looks very strong, he may indeed be considered one of the people in the circle who needs to take care of himself in old age.
Liyue has been plagued by constant disasters and wars, so it is said that some practitioners have abandoned the traditional spiritual enlightenment and turned to physical training. To put it bluntly, they plan to take the path of sanctifying the physical body and smashing the universe with one punch.
This is a true story recorded on the golden elixir. As the number of practitioners of the physical lineage gradually increased, the immortals faced the golden elixir in their hands that simulated the opening of heaven and earth in their imagination, and for a moment they did not know where to send it.
Such a precious enlightenment elixir is definitely a super-rare breakthrough item, but if it were given to a bunch of guys who focus on passionate and high-intensity fitness, they probably wouldn't know how to use the elixir, and the most likely operation would be to swallow it in big gulps.
Although the physical body lineage is considered a "younger generation" for cultivators in Liyue, their actual cultivation base is quite large.
Although from the record, this seems like an anecdote, it only expresses the immortal's emotion and helplessness about the changes in the times.
Times have changed, and everyone no longer likes the traditional practice methods. Instead, they put all their energy on the physical body.
But if you think about it carefully, you can understand how dangerous the situation was back then, and you can also understand the helplessness and sadness involved.
The upper limit of the traditional Shenxuan Enlightenment is naturally much higher. After all, this is what everyone used to do, and many things are clear, which is the so-called "Tongtian Dao".
There is only one reason for turning to practice the physical way, and that is that there was a lack of combat effectiveness back then. It was very lacking.
There are not enough people trained through traditional cultivation methods. The cultivation lineage urgently needs faster methods to train more warriors to fight on the battlefield and fight for peace with the last bit of strength.
"Maybe this is a kind of selectivity of the times, just like I am here now."
Gu Sanqiu reached out and placed his hand on the huge golden bell in front of him. The complex patterns and the movement of the talismans and seals all showed the rich history of this thing.
"Originally, it was just a communication item that once a year, the spiritual practitioners gathered together to sit down and discuss the Tao. Now it has turned into an instrument that declares that they are about to compete for the position of leader."
Gu Sanqiu smiled: "Mountain Master, according to what the old man just said, there are actually people who come to ring this golden bell all the time?"
"That's right, but no one has succeeded, so the effect is basically the same as in ancient times. Please go to the sect and open your wallet to spread the wealth. After all, we finally get together to have a meal and chat.
Chatting."
The old man solemnly held up a golden beating pole with his hands, with thick silver dragon-patterned ropes tied around it. If you take it out, it can be regarded as a Qimen weapon of excellent quality.
"One cry for the beginning of the struggle, two for the arrival of the cyclists, and three for the climb to the top of the celestial being."
"Gu Xiangjun, have you made your decision?"
"I must remind you that if you want to open the road to ascend to immortality and launch a change of contention, Hall Master Hu below will not be able to help you."
"The Fengxiang lineage has been passed down to this day, which means that you need to fight the entire practice world on your own, so that you can make the golden bell ring three times."
"If you die during this process, then even if you are a Liyue incense burner, you are nothing more than a handful of loess."
The mountain master's eyes were full of meaning: "I don't want you to die just now, because the line of cultivation still needs a banner like yours to live."
"Even if the world changes, we practitioners will always remember what the Gu family has done."
"Your and my ancestors have used Liyue's prosperity to prove that they were not entrusted to the wrong people. Emperor Yanwang is a benevolent and powerful god, and a leader worthy of entrusting life."
Gu Sanqiu laughed: "So, even though you don't think I can reach the top now, you are still willing to respect me as a junior?"
"Yes, if it is the best choice, it is that you should not die."
The mountain owner said in a deep voice: "As long as you die, we will always remember the glory of our ancestors and the significance of this world."
"No one can tell what great changes will happen to your cultivation lineage if you die here."
"If I die in cultivation, my lineage may completely decline."
Gu Sanqiu took the beating post and the thick rope, his eyes looking confused for a moment.
In the realm filled with Qianyan and Xuanhuang energy, Shenlong opened his twin children in shock.
"Sudden change, why!"
In Hidden Dragon Mountain, Gu Sanqiu looked up at the sky. Above the ringing golden bells, the sky was still blue and flawless, as if it had penetrated ancient and modern times and become an eternal skylight.
Gu Sanqiu felt the information he had calculated in a daze, and a sudden realization came to his mind.
"Death, calamity."
If the hexagram is correct, then he will die while competing with the immortals on the road to immortality.
"Is this the end of the people who serve the incense?"
Gu Sanqiu was confused. Without him, the other Gu Sanqiu would have died in the process of offering sacrifices to the stone, and the Gu family would have completely said goodbye to history.
My destiny should be completely different from his, but I inherited his identity, so I will die the same way?
Who changed my destiny?
So, is pushing destiny to make me die now the same as the purpose back then?
Why?
What did i do wrong?
Death disaster is not your decision!
"interesting."
Gu Sanqiu laughed and threw the beating post and thick rope aside, and then hit the Zhengming Golden Bell with a fierce palm!
winter--
The melodious bells echoed in all directions. Gu Sanqiu was still laughing, but his expression was slightly ferocious.
"As soon as the argument begins, I'm waiting for your siege!"
Gu Sanqiu looked up to the sky and shouted filial piety: "Waiting for you too!"
