Chapter 160 He Left with a Long Sigh
——Thanks to my Lei Ai, I used a dot in naming, and oceanpop friends for their tips. There are also reminders from Zhao Bo's friends.
"Chief Shixian, please take a seat." Seeing Shi Xuan and Xu Jinyi coming in together, Xu Yueze quickly gave up his seat.
Shi Xuan was not polite, walked up to sit down, and then said casually: "Shi, I heard from Jin Yi that you have some questions you want to ask me?"
When the dozens of core members of the Xu clan in the central hall heard this, they immediately looked at Xu Yueze. They thought they had already communicated all their questions and were waiting for the head of the family to speak. Xu Yueze coughed lightly, and then said: "Chief Shixian, we are very grateful that you are willing to take our Xu family to the overseas world of immortality, but I don't know, how is your strength, Master Shixian, compared to my family Jinyi? In the world of overseas cultivation of immortality, I don't know. How many masters are there who are like you and how many are better than you?"
Shi Xuan said calmly: "Shi is now in the Qi-entraining stage, which is what is often said in the world of breaking the void realm. His strength is a hundred times that of Jinyi." For Shi Xuan, there is no pride in saying this, he is just stating the facts. , but everyone in the Xu clan gasped. They knew Xu Jinyi's strength very well. They knew it clearly, a hundred times better than her. Just thinking about it was terrifying!
Of course, there were several people who were obviously not convinced by Shi Xuan's statement, and they all looked at Xu Jinyi. Seeing this, Xu Jinyi naturally nodded slightly. When he asked for advice on spiritual practice in the quiet room just now, Shi Xuan's inadvertently exposed methods made him Xu Jinyi felt that it was completely different from her own methods, and she couldn't think of any resistance at all.
At this time, everyone in the Xu family calmed down and looked at Shi Xuan with incredible eyes. In their hearts, Xu Jinyi was unimaginably powerful, a hundred times more powerful than her. How terrifying would that be? I'm afraid one can defeat ten thousand!
Those young men who have embarked on the path of cultivating immortals secretly thought that although their own strength is at the bottom in the world of cultivating immortals, with people like Shi Xianzhang leading them, they will not be bullied, and maybe they will be able to do it soon. Breaking through the realm, smiling proudly in the world of immortality, for a moment, my heart was burning.
But they immediately heard Shi Xuan continue to say: "In the world of cultivating immortals, there are many people who are on par with Shi in terms of cultivation. In Shi's sect alone, there are more than half a hundred, plus other major, medium and small The number of sects and casual cultivators should be close to a thousand. "This is only in terms of the two realms of Qi Entrainment Dacheng and Qi Qi Perfection, and does not refer to combat power.
As soon as these words came out, the young men seemed to have a basin of cold water poured on their hearts, and they all became dejected. Everyone in the Xu clan also looked bad, thinking that even if their family was not strong enough, at least they would have a thigh to hold them. Who knew that this would happen? It seems that the powerful Shixian Chang is just an ordinary character in the world of immortality.
Shi Xuan paid no attention to what they were thinking, and said plainly and honestly: "There are many people who are better than Shi in terms of cultivation and strength. Some are better than Shi, some are a hundred times better than Shi, and there are even those who are better than Shi." "Under the attack, the country will be destroyed and the sea will be destroyed." The latter refers to the monks above the Yuan Shen. Although Shi Xuan has never seen them take action, it is inferred that if they attack with all their strength, the land of Middle Earth will probably be destroyed.
The people of the Xu clan seemed to be listening to myths and legends. The kind of power that could destroy a country with a wave of their hands was beyond their imagination. It took a long time for Xu Yueze to tremble and ask: "Really?"
"Master Shi is the golden elixir master. His strength is a hundred times or a thousand times greater than mine. There are several realms above him. Think about it for yourselves. Is it true?" Shi Xuan also admitted that he was a golden elixir master. The disciples of the Grandmaster all told the truth without any concealment, and then repeated what Senior Diantanzi said back then, which made the Xu clan's faces darken.
Xu Yueze looked back at the clan members, and then cautiously said to Shi Xuan: "Chief Shi, this matter is of great importance. We need to think about it carefully. Please give us some time to discuss it."
Shi Xuan nodded and said: "Then you can discuss it, Shi will be waiting here." After saying this, he half-closed his eyes and sat on the chair as if he was asleep, as if you can just discuss it and pretend I'm not here.
Shi Xuan expressed this, and the people of the Xu family did not dare to object. They all gathered on the other side of the central hall. Then you looked at me and I looked at you, but they didn't dare to speak first. After a while, Xu Jinyi said again: "Everyone, just say whatever you want." What? This is a matter for the entire family and concerns everyone’s future. "
Xu Yueze, as the head of the family, took the lead and said without hesitation: "I think it is better to stay. Firstly, it is difficult to leave my hometown, and secondly, there are countless experts in the world of immortality. If we go, we will only restore our previous status. How can we live as well as now? There are so many people obeying our orders, even the governor of Yangzhou and Duke An have to act based on our expressions. "Only one of his descendants has the aptitude and temperament to cultivate immortality.
Another tall young man immediately retorted: "But if you stay here, even if you get countless gold and silver treasures, what is the use of the land and property? It will not turn into a cup of loess in a hundred years. If you go to the world of immortality, you may become a real immortal in the future. , long life."
A frail young man opposite him sneered: "You think you will definitely be able to break through the realm and become an immortal, but how could you know that you are not becoming a stepping stone for others? Let's touch our hearts and ask, are you willing to live a life of relying on others?"
He took a step forward and continued to ask loudly: "I believe everyone can clearly see what happened on the river today. Don't you cultivators yearn for that kind of scene where thousands of people worship, revere, and praise? Hope it can get to that point one day?”
The lips of the young men moved slightly, but they could not refute. When they thought of the scene on the river and the day they would have such a day, they were so excited that they trembled all over and practiced even harder.
The weak young man chuckled a few times: "What if we go to the world of immortal cultivation? There are so many people who are better than you. Any one of them can easily defeat you. It is very difficult to enjoy the admiration of the world. I am afraid that you will spend your whole life in the eyes of others who look down on you, despise you, and take you for granted!"
The young men were silent for a long time before someone retorted unconfidently: "We will also make progress. And the elders in the family can also get longevity pills."
The weak young man immediately retorted: "Longevity pills, are you sure you can get them with your cultivation? And speaking of progress, you haven't made much progress in these years. Think about it carefully, which is difficult and which is easy!"
Then he looked around and said loudly: "In Yangzhou, we enjoy all the glory and wealth, and we live so happily and comfortably. If we go to the world of immortal cultivation, we will be like everyone else, living a mediocre life, and maybe one day our entire clan will be destroyed. Although we are now protected by the Immortal Stone, how long can we protect him?" The clan members nodded one after another after hearing this.
Xu Jinyi wanted to speak, but seeing the expressions of the tribesmen, he remained silent. Seeing this, Xu Yueze hurriedly stood up and said, "Now everyone, tell me your decision, are you going or not?"
Those tribesmen who had no hope of becoming immortals had nothing to hesitate about, and all answered that they would not go. The young men and their relatives had two pictures flashing in their minds. They were all in the Out-of-Body Stage. One was worshipped by countless people, admired and praised, and beautiful girls threw themselves into his arms. The other was to serve as someone else's follower, who might be hunted down and have no way to go to heaven or to go to the underworld. He might spend his whole life in the attitude of others looking down on him and despising him.
In the silence, one of the young men finally stood up and slowly said, "I won't go either."
Once someone took the lead, the rest of them naturally had no pressure. The voices of "not going" came one after another, and each voice made Xu Jinyi's face paler.
In the end, except for Xu Jinyi and her parents, everyone else answered that they would not go, including Xu Tianqi.
Suddenly, a faint voice came: "Then Jinyi, are you going or not?" It was Shi Xuan who opened his eyes, and his eyes seemed to strip off the cover, looking straight into his heart and asked.
The Xu clan members looked at Xu Jinyi with anxious and nervous eyes, and they all shook their heads to indicate that she would not go. Their beautiful lives were all built on the fairy Xu Jinyi.
Xu Jinyi slowly looked around the clan members. His father and mother were worried and afraid to indicate that he would not go, because they felt that it would be good to live a peaceful life. If he went to the world of immortal cultivation, he would probably fall into the hands of others. The other clan members had different emotions. They were afraid that after they left, the Xu family's power would be greatly damaged and they would no longer be able to maintain the current situation. They were worried that they would never be able to live such a beautiful life in the future, and they were afraid that they would not have the opportunity to enjoy the praise and awe of ordinary people in the future.
Closing his eyes, the past emerged in his mind, all of which were specific little things: when he was a child, his father returned from a long journey and never forgot to give him a gift, and then used his beard to prick his face; there was the warmth of his mother nagging him while combing his hair; there were parents who were angry and helpless after he was naughty; there was the joy of playing with his brothers and sisters...
A little bit, a drop, all so unforgettable, Xu Jinyi quietly slid a tear from the corner of his eye, and then he answered Shi Xuan in a hoarse voice: "Master Shi, Jinyi will not go either." Hearing this, everyone in the Xu family was relieved.
Shi Xuan stood up after hearing this, with mixed emotions in his heart. He used others as a mirror to observe himself, which is the original meaning of the worldly experience. Xu Jinyi's decision was neither good nor bad for her. It was understandable to choose to leave home for cultivation or the warmth of family affection, but it made her feel deeply. Dafang's death had made her realize that if the path was wrong, it would be useless to insist on it. Now Xu Jinyi's choice made her understand her heart. She was indeed a person who valued cultivation and would never give up her path for the desires of others.
Shi Xuan wanted to say a few more words, but in the end he sighed, and walked out of the hall with big strides and disappeared into the air.
Xu Jinyi leaned against the door and looked at it, with a dazed look on his face. It seemed that the long sigh was still echoing in his ears, and he also sighed involuntarily.
