Chapter 147 Long live Long live Long live Long live
Li Wuxiang raised his hand: "Wait a minute, I haven't finished asking yet - why don't you go find the Mei Zhang Sword?"
Li Ke frowned in embarrassment and hesitated for a while, then only said: "She wields a sword, and she is about to become a Yang Shen. I just think...it's not good, okay?"
There is no reason for this, but calling Li Wuxiang feels quite real.
He leaned against the window sill again: "Okay. Please tell me first, what is Long Live?"
"Didn't Mei Zhangjian tell you?" Li Ke seemed a little surprised, but he seemed to feel honored to be able to tell Li Wuxiang these things, so he spoke in detail and stopped hesitating, "If she hadn't Let me tell you, I have a lot to tell you, Senior Brother Li, don’t think I’m verbose.”
"No, I like to hear these, the more detailed the better."
"Okay, long live it. This has to do with the industry. If you know, tell me. When Donghuang Taiyi was still the emperor of the world, didn't he have to go to court? In order to help him practice, he went to court every day. At that time, all the civil and military officials were asked to kneel down and make a wish to him, saying, 'Long live, long live, long live, long live'!"
"Later, he became a true immortal and mastered a little bit of human destiny. Civil and military officials and his disciples still had to call him, long live, long live, long live, long live! Then these things gradually became part of human destiny. . After Taiyi was suppressed, many human fortunes were also suppressed, but there are still us people, and those fortunes are still there.”
"Our Youjiuyuan is a different place. It doesn't count the world of the sun, the netherworld, or the spiritual mountain. Therefore, the closer you get to the outside of Youjiuyuan, the rules of luck will be different. Long live this thing will gradually change. It has become real, invisible and intangible, but it has become a real wish--of course I have never seen it, but I heard from the brothers in the sect that this thing is actually very difficult after being caught. Danger, must be sealed with talisman paper.”
"They said that when someone first discovered and captured Banzai, one of them accidentally caught it and let it run out. As a result, dozens of people, several golden elixirs, and half an hour's time of youth and longevity were completely destroyed. Everything is ruined. After we returned, the sect gradually came up with more reliable methods. It would be safer to capture Long Live again - Senior Brother Li, don't worry, my method is absolutely safe. We got it from Leader Jiang. I have two Official symbol! ”
These words made Li Wuxiang slowly frown.
Because he suddenly thought of something that he seemed to have ignored.
"So this thing called Long Live... is not alive or dead, but is like a concrete rule and ritual?"
Li Ke was stunned, and his eyes lit up: "Brother Li, what you said is so good! Concrete! Yes! Concrete! Living rules and luck!"
Li Wuxiang asked another question: "Was the writing in this world also created by Donghuang Taiyi?"
"Yeah?"
He fell silent.
When he was in the stove, he could understand Guang Chanzi, which felt a little strange. But at that time, he first convinced himself with concepts such as multiverses and parallel worlds.
But I didn’t even think of asking until now who invented these words.
It turns out that it was passed down by Li Ye, Emperor Taiyi of the East.
Then, Li Wuxiang thought of the time in Jinshui again. When he became a disciple of Zhao Qi, he told him about the breathing and breathing method that he knew in his previous life. Zhao Qi actually said that that kind of method also exists in this world, but it is just a very superficial practice method in ancient times. It is not used today. The foundation of every mental method in the world. 【Note 1】
The "very superficial practice method" mentioned by Zhao Qi should have been passed down by Taiyi Li Ye.
The method passed down by Li Ye is the same as what he knew in his previous life.
Then, now, this Li Ye will still call his civil and military officials to chant "Long live, long live, long live, long live."
Li Wuxiang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart - Li Ye should be a time traveler like himself.
This thought didn't make him feel surprised or relieved, nor did he even feel close. Instead, it made him feel that there were more mysteries in his heart. In the past, he felt that Taiyi had chosen him by chance, but now, could it still be related to his identity as a time traveler?
He wasn't even sure whether time traveled first and Taiyi possessed him later, or the other way around!
Both the Sword Sect and the Six Mysterious Sects believed that Taiyi had been suppressed and dead. But now only Li Wuxiang knows that this Taiyi is actually still very active...like a ghost hidden in history and spiritual mountains, planning many things through himself. It's even possible that it's not just you, but there are more actions going on elsewhere, at the same time!
He and I may be from the same world. However, this idea did not make Li Wuxiang feel warm, but he felt that the real appearance of Donghuang Taiyi was increasingly different from the rumors in the world. The legendary Donghuang Taiyi is the lord of humanity, protects the common people, and seems to be extremely heroic and heroic. However, the Taiyi he came into contact with seemed to be secretive, indifferent, and even a little inhumane.
He really wanted to find someone to discuss these matters with, but at least for now, Xue Baoping, who made him feel reassured, was just a mortal, and Jiang Jie, who claimed to be blessed with Taiyi luck, could not yet trust him. Where's the Plum Palm Sword? It's not possible now anyway.
In short, it is impossible for him to escape from the biggest conspiracy vortex in the world.
So he sighed in his heart, but with a smile on his face: "Okay, I understand. But the rule of our sword sect should be that whoever finds something belongs to him - how do we divide the Long Live thing? ”
Li Ke immediately said: "Senior Brother Li, I want this, but I don't want this either - I still have the ability to refine qi, and I won't be able to use it. Do you think this will work? Let's hand this thing over to the sect." Here, my half can be replaced with what I need for Qi refining, and your half can be used as you wish.”
"Fair enough. How did you find this thing?"
"Ah? I just accidentally discovered it when I went down to look for something. But I never told anyone about it. I thought I had obtained the official talisman before, so I went to catch it myself. Only then did I realize that I might It’s not Banzai’s fault, it’s something else underneath. Just this time—Senior Brother Li, I really admire you and Mei Zhang Jian.”
There seemed to be nothing left to ask. Li Wuxiang put away the bag of food on the window sill and smiled at him: "Okay. Come to me early tomorrow morning - these will be your deposit."
Li Ke smiled and rolled his eyes, nodded solemnly, and bowed twice: "It's a deal! Then I'll leave first, and I'll go back to prepare things, such as food and water... Senior Brother Li, do you have anything you like to eat?"
"Whatever, anything will do, as long as it's not sour."
After Li Ke left, Li Wuqian closed the window and returned to the room to sit quietly. It's hard for him to go to Lingshan here, and it's hard to invite Taiyi - Youjiuyuan is between Netherworld and Lingshan. If Taiyi comes at this time, it might really be "coming" instead of just thoughts and feelings.
So he took a nap for a while, then woke up in the middle of the night to meditate, adjust his breath, and absorb the Qi.
When the sky was getting slightly brighter again, he heard the door open in the main house - Li Wuxiang stretched his legs to the ground, opened the window and saw that Xiao Jing and Mei Qiulu had walked out. Mei Qiulu helped Xiao Jing straighten the hairpin on his head, and Xiao Jing turned his face slightly to let her do it. When he looked sideways, he saw Li Wuxiang and smiled at him: "Did you not sleep at night?"
"Took a short sleep." Li Wuxiang stood by the window and waited for Mei Qiulu to fix her hairpin, and then saw her going to straighten Mei Qiulu's collar.
At this time, Mei Qiulu also smiled at Li Wuxiang: "Today you can go down the mountain and talk to the people in the sect. If you want to find some medicinal materials to replenish qi and blood, you can go deep into the mountains, or you can go down there - —There are many roads leading down in the mountains, but don’t go too deep. Do you have a mortal friend? There are many things in the mountains that you can’t use, but they are still good for your friends.”
Li Wuxiang nodded: "I'm going down there today. Senior sister, is there a swordsman named Li Ke in our sect?"
Mei Qiulu went to see Xiao Jingyi: "Are you there?"
Xiao Jing nodded: "Yes, yes. He is from Ling Qiaofeng. He came to the sect last year. He has good qualifications and temperament. Sword Master Cao seems to want to keep him in the mountain. He has been here for a year. What are you doing? "Do you know him?" "He came last night and asked for me." Wu Xiang said, "He said that he knew about Zeng Jianqiu and Pan Muyun, and he also said that he admired me and Senior Sister Mei. Because he had seen Long Live once before, he wanted to ask me to help him catch them. After they were caught, they would take half of each person. He said that this could Save them both.”
The two swordsmen looked at each other, and Mei Qiulu was surprised: "Long live he!?"
Xiao Jing took a breath and said, "That's great. It's time for the two of them to have this blessing - have you promised him?"
"Agreed. But he made it easy to catch that thing, saying he had an official talisman."
Xiao Jing already smiled: "It's not difficult. That thing is hard to find, but it's not hard to catch. He said there is an official talisman, so it's even less difficult -"
Mei Qiulu asked: "When will you go?"
Xiao Jing had already pulled her hand: "Don't go. First of all, when you go, do you want to share some of others' things? Secondly, Wuxiang is a golden elixir swordsman. Why don't you worry about arresting Long Live?" ? During the meeting, if you don’t want to be trapped in the clan in the future, just follow me first. Go to Lingqiaofeng - Li Ke is from Lingqiaofeng, Sword Master Cao must have asked him to come here. Alas, you didn't move around much before, but Sword Master Cao still thinks about you - if you have half the thoughts of Wu Xiang, I don’t have to worry about you.”
Mei Zhangjian thought for a while and sighed: "You have to be careful."
Li Wuxiang nodded: "Okay, I know."
When the two of them went down the mountain, Li Wuxiang breathed a sigh of relief. They all said that, which seemed to mean that it was nothing unusual for Li Ke to discover Long Live again. And listening to Xiao Jingji's words, it seems that Sword Master Cao of Ling Qiao Peak is also relatively close to Mei Zhangjian, so this time he reached out to help.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
That's good... In the past few months, he has always been trapped in various conspiracies and traps, which made him almost stressed.
He walked into the east room of the main house and looked at Zeng Jianqiu and Pan Muyun. He saw that they were still asleep, but their pulses were stable after checking, so he felt relieved again.
After waiting another two-quarters of an hour, I heard footsteps outside the house, and it was Li Ke walking up. With a long knife on his waist and a backpack on his back, he smiled when he saw Li Wuxiang: "Brother, are you okay? Shall we leave now?"
Li Wuxiang also smiled: "Let's go."
Li Ke took him down a very steep mountain road on the west side of Jiuzhu Peak, and his skills looked very agile. He had a temperament that was familiar to him. Li Wuxiang would talk nonsense to others and ghosts. After only walking a few steps, Li Ke would talk even more.
"...Then I thought, something is wrong, what is this long live thing? According to you, senior brother, it is the embodiment of rules. So as long as there are still people in the world who worship Taiyi in private, even if only one person can shout long live Long live long live, then it won’t be gone, right?”
Li Ke jumped briskly in the rocks as he spoke: "Then I asked Senior Brother Xu, and Senior Brother Xu said yes. So it should be that the more people worship Taiyi, the more Long Lives will be - for example, when our sect is prosperous. If you worship less, then be less and be willing to do so. It won’t be gone. So this year when my brothers and I went down there to collect herbs, I kept thinking in my mind, “Long live the emperor, long live the emperor.” As a result, I was really discovered!”
In fact, Li Wuxiang still didn't understand what "Long Live" looked like, so he asked: "How did you discover it?"
Li Ke was a smart man, and it was easy to talk to him. He immediately knew what Li Wuxiang wanted to ask: "How should I put it? It felt like I was walking on a stone beam, with cliffs on both sides, and it was still very dark. But Suddenly I wanted to kneel down and read in my heart I shouted out - Long Live Long Live Long Live! At that time, there was nothing else in my mind except this thought. Fortunately, I almost fell down and woke up. ”
"It scared me to death that time. It was only later that I realized I was afraid and that I shouldn't have thought that in my heart. I didn't have an official talisman on me. If Long Live had been attracted at that time, I would have been useless!"
At this time, the two of them had already gone down the mountain and were walking to the west of Youjiuyuan. Along the way, the surrounding mountains were steep and rising, covering the rising sun, as if it was still early in the morning and the sky was dark.
After walking for a while, they reached the bottom of a cliff. Li Ke took him to find a rock crevice in the cliff and crawled in. It was very narrow at first, so Li Kede slowly crawled inside. After climbing out for a while, the front suddenly opened up - it was a larger stone cave. The stone walls were also inlaid with illuminated lights, and there were knives, axes, and chisels on the ground. Rope grapples and the like.
Li Ke stopped and took a few breaths: "There are a total of sixteen roads to the bottom of Youjiuyuan. This road is not often used by people. I found it under this road. Senior brother, although you are a golden Dan, this is the first time you come down, listen to me, you have to follow Okay, you can walk wherever I go, no more than four steps away from me. If you accidentally take the wrong step, your head may be broken! This road has been in the sect for thousands of years. Tried it out bit by bit.”
Li Wuxiang walked to the other end of the cave and looked down——
The bottom of Youjiuyuan seems to be empty. There are many criss-crossing stone beams in the air, and thick stalactites hang down from the top. Looking down, it seems that many stalagmites, cliffs, and mountains can still be seen in the endless darkness, but these things are not distributed along this huge hollow, but are staggered in mid-air, as if they are growing out of the darkness. of.
Li Wuxiang understood. The situation here is almost exactly the same as the Ranshan Fantasy Land - above, the Youjiu Abyss where the fairyland peaks stand is the place where I took a few steps in the Ranshan Fantasy Land, while on the outside, like here, below, the Ranshan Fantasy Land is closer to The folded part that overlaps with the real world.
Youjiu Abyss is so big. If it is not hidden between the Netherworld and Lingshan, but in the Yang Realm, then these folded spaces will probably cover the distance of several cities.
So, is the Netherworld Scroll actually another layer of illusion attached to the real world?
Rebuilding Ranshan according to the appearance of Ranshan Sect can unfold the illusion. How can Youjiuyuan unfold it? Rebuild the entire industry?
He nodded: "Okay, I'll follow you, don't worry."
From the entrance of this stone cave to the bottom of Youjiu Abyss, there are almost straight up and down cliffs. Li Ke took out the rope and hook he carried with him to use, and Li Wuxiang grabbed his arm: "No need, I will take you down. Just tell me where I can go and where I can't go."< br>
Li Ke tried to evade a few words at first, saying not to burden him. But when Li Wuxiang used his elixir power and took a breath, leading him to fly down lightly, Li Ke couldn't help but shout excitedly: "Brother! Senior brother! You are so awesome, senior brother! Come on!" Is this the case with the swords? Are you flying?" br>
He was making a lot of noise, and the sound carried very far in the cave, making Li Wuxiang's ears feel uncomfortable.
But he felt at ease in his heart - he was a little bored thinking about the Taiyi True Spirit just now, but now he was infected by the carefree young man's mood, and couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth, thinking what if this If only everyone in the world could provide emotional value like him.
After falling more than ten feet, Li Wuxiang landed on a stone platform. Li Ke was still excited. He raised his head and looked up at the stone cave that had become a dot of light. He unloaded the package on his back and said, "Brother, let's leave quickly? With you, the golden elixir swordsman, we can I’m really not afraid of anything! This is the first time I feel so relieved! Haha, let’s put on the official talisman first!”
He unwrapped the package and took out two things.
When he said official talisman, Li Wuxiang thought it would be a talisman. But looking at it now, this thing is more like a memorial. There are hard shells on both sides, and there is folded paper in the middle. It looks very old, and the hard shell and paper are dirty. Originally there should have been writing on it, but I couldn't see it clearly. It's not that the words have faded, but that they are covered with dense spells written in cinnabar.
Li Ke handed him a book: "These are written by those true immortals who were still officials in the court when the Ye Dynasty was still there - the ancestors of the thirty-six sects later. Unfortunately, they can't read clearly. What's written? These are magic weapons now, called official talismans. Senior Brother Li, if you feel like I told you before while walking, you should open this thing immediately and let your luck go in, like this - —”
While Li Wuxiang listened to Li Ke's words, he raised an eyeball to the top of his head in the darkness and looked in the direction of the cave above.
Because I just saw a figure there, I quickly looked down.
He felt a little sneaky.
