South Kunlun Campus.
Deep in the snow-capped mountains, there is a valley that feels like spring all year round, with gurgling streams, and is also full of life in winter. It is full of aura and is truly a treasure in the world.
In the old days, this place was called Changsheng Valley.
On the one hand, it is because of the climate here, and on the other hand, there is a strange man living in seclusion in the valley. According to Kunlun folk legends, this strange man existed before the birth of the Dadu Dynasty. In the end, the Dadu Dynasty lasted for hundreds of years.
Perished, this person is still alive and looks like the young man he was five hundred years ago.
This strange man is Old Man Xiaoyao. Among the great masters, he is also one of the longest-lived. The average lifespan of a great master is 420 years, and according to research, he lived for 560 years.
If you want to ask which force has the greatest influence in the Western Region, it should be the Daxue Mountain. At its peak, it was known as the Thousand Peaks of Kunlun and had 30,000 disciples, like a single country.
But if you ask about the most mysterious and powerful one, it must be Xiaoyao Palace.
The Taoism of Xiaoyao Palace was deeply influenced by the Taoist sage [Zhuangzi], but it was also influenced by some foreign magicians, giving it some mysterious and grotesque colors.
Old Man Xiaoyao advocated living in seclusion. Even though he had many masters under his sect, and the three Xiaoyao Immortals were all great masters in the sky, at their peak, the number of great masters was even higher than that of Shaolin Temple and Wudang Mountain, but their reputation in the Central Plains was not prominent.
When Old Man Xiaoyao truly became famous, after he entered Taoism, the three immortals under his command became greedy, and they all wanted to unify Xiaoyao Palace, then annex Daxue Mountain, sweep away the vassal states in the Western Regions, establish the Western Regions Dynasty, and then raise their troops to conquer the Central Plains.
This incident is called the "Three Immortals Rebellion" by historians.
The three immortals are great masters, and they are all beloved disciples of the happy old man. Their character and disposition should be of excellent quality. Logically speaking, they should not do such foolish and crazy things.
Even when Old Man Xiaoyao was alive, Xiaoyao Palace was not as good as Shaolin Temple and Wudang Mountain in terms of truth theory foundation, not to mention the large number of major sects in the Central Plains and the East.
The [Golden Tent Royal Court] behind the Dadu Dynasty also has two long-famous great masters, [Blue Wolf King] and [Sky Eagle King]. The two kings are invincible in the world.
No matter what the Three Immortals think, they don't have the strength to conquer the Central Plains.
After research, historians feel that this matter is closely related to the Netherworld.
The three immortals once explored deep into the underworld to find a life-extending treasure for the dying old man Xiaoyao. It is not clear whether they found it in the end. Anyway, the three immortals seemed to have changed their personalities drastically.
Lu Chenzhou stood tall in the sky and earth, recalling the great events of the past.
In the valley, two figures came slowly.
Li Gui hugged his daughter and said with a smile:
"This is Li Yao, my daughter."
Lu Chenzhou couldn't help but touch the baby girl's chubby face.
"It's so cute. I heard it's a top-quality bone?"
"Yes."
"Future female grandmaster, awakening another talent... I can't imagine it."
"Hahaha, I don't even think about having talent, as long as I can become a master."
We haven’t seen each other for a long time, and the teachers and students have endless things to say.
Li Gui was also full of praise for Lu Chenzhou's achievements in traveling.
he asked:
"Kunlun is over, where else are you going?"
Lu Chenzhou shook his head and said:
"I won't leave for the time being. I want to live in a cottage in the valley to prepare for my promotion and break the second shackles. After my promotion, I will go back to school while looking for places to visit."
Li Yu smiled and said:
"It's good. This Valley of Immortality is the place of Kunlun South Campus. It's safe and guaranteed. You, Teacher Li, and I have lived here for half a year. We have been absorbing the wisdom of the world and the essence of the sun and the moon all day long. I feel that my body and mind have been transformed. Yao'er can
Superior bone, I feel it is inseparable from this, although there is no scientific basis."
It’s not just Li Gui and his wife. Many big bosses who want to give birth to offspring will choose a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters and full of spiritual energy. No matter what, it will be good for the offspring.
Li Guidao:
"This is indeed a good place to make a breakthrough. Away from the turmoil of the world, you can quietly sort out what you have learned in martial arts and adjust your body and mind to peak condition. By the way, what are the requirements for you to be promoted to Breakthrough 2? Let me help you refer to it.
"
Lu Chenzhou said:
"The first is that the flawless strength still needs to be polished, and it cannot completely cover the internal organs. The second is the problem of the reconciliation of the tiger-shaped and swallow-shaped strength, and the transformation of the true energy."
"Is the orifice full?"
"150 orifices, already resonated."
"Has your energy and blood also broken through the shackles?"
"Well, I took the blood lotus medicine, and my qi and blood are now 60 points."
"Where's Quanli?"
"Marksmanship and tiger shape are both in the fifth realm, and swallow shape is in the fourth realm."
Li Gui showed a pleased smile:
"That's enough. With your current conditions, just work hard and pass the test with peace of mind. My conditions were far worse than yours at the beginning, but I can still succeed.
Especially if you have 60 points of energy and blood, to a certain extent, you have already stepped into the second shackles with half a foot. Taking the Blood Lotus elixir itself is a preview of breaking the shackles, and it can also increase the success rate of breakthrough. According to my many years of teaching experience,
Your success rate is above 95%, and the remaining 5% is luck, so you must be fine in this regard. If you hadn't had practitioners from many factions, I think your breakthrough success rate should have been above 99%.
Lu Chenzhou asked:
"Teacher, what was your success rate back then?"
Li Gui recalled the past and said calmly:
"I'm not high, 60%. I'm actually a bit of a gambler."
Lu Chenzhou thought to himself that the teacher was indeed not very high.
If it were him, he wouldn't try it if he wasn't more than 90% sure.
Li Yu smiled helplessly and said:
"So, your master and I will be satisfied if we can become masters in this life. We don't dare to think about the realm in the future. Even if we can open up all the acupoints and practice to the limit, with our talents, the success rate of becoming a grandmaster is
Maybe not even 20%.
Once the success rate is less than 50%, you have to think carefully. If you have no other concerns except martial arts in your heart and are not afraid of death, you can give it a try. We are both ordinary people, and it is impossible to completely cut off the worldly ties and ignore death.
Of course, with your talent, you don’t have to worry about these things before being a grandmaster. As long as you do your best, the destiny will definitely be yours, and you can advance triumphantly all the way."
The three of them sat on the ground, basking in the warm winter sun, chatting on the grass, with the breeze blowing, until Yao'er started crying, and Li Gui stood up with his daughter in his arms and said:
"Shen Zhou, we will return to Sioux City tomorrow."
"Teacher, won't you continue to stay for a while?"
"No, it's not safe to be outside all the time with your child."
"Okay, have a nice trip and see you in Suzhou City."
Lu Chenzhou looked at Li Gui's retreating figure and sighed:
"You really can't live alone."
He clearly felt that after having a wife and daughter, the teacher was completely different. The ending of the teacher was the fate of most ordinary martial arts masters. In the long journey of martial arts, there will always be people who can't keep up with the team. At this time, he might as well change his life.
Life is inherently colorful.
He followed the stream and headed deeper into the valley until he saw the ruins of towering towers, blackened pillars and collapsed cornices in front of him.
"The fairy palace on earth was burned to the ground."
Knowing that Lu Chenzhou was coming, many students were already waiting here, many of them coming from the North Campus. Their eyes were full of expectation and respect...
Previously, many people gained a lot from the projection of the unparalleled battle. Not only Kunlun, but also martial arts masters from other Wuhan universities and all walks of life came to make pilgrimages.
Daxia Martial Arts is a scene full of vitality. On martial arts forums, some people regard Lu Shenzhou’s travels around the world and Zhang Zu’s two appearances as signs of the beginning of the great age.
They said that Lu Chenzhou, the enlightened person of the Holy Body, was the key to a new era, unlocking the treasures of the Tao that had been sealed in the long river of time with his steps.
Link up the past and open up the future!
Perhaps, this is the child of the times, the one destined by destiny!
Too many honors were piled on Lu Chenzhou, but after talking to many sages, he knew that the truly great ones were those ancestors who had disappeared.
To be continued...
