Long Live, Long Live, Long Live

Chapter 147 Long live Long live Long live Long live

Li Wuxiang raised his hand: "Wait, 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 reason, but it feels quite real to call Li Wuxiang.

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 being long-winded.”

"No, I like to hear these. The more detailed the better."

"Well, 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!'"

"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 lucks were also suppressed, but there are still us people, and those lucks 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 farther outside Youjiuyuan is, the rules of luck will be different, and the longevity of 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 my fellow disciples in the sect that this thing is actually very dangerous after being caught. It’s dangerous, so it 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 of youth and longevity were completely destroyed. Everything is ruined. It was after that incident that the sect gradually came up with more reliable methods. It would be safe to capture Long Live again - Brother Li, don’t worry, my method is absolutely safe. We got it from Master Jiang. I There are two official symbols!”

These words made Li Wuxiang slowly frown.

Because he suddenly thought of something that he seemed to have ignored.

"So this long live thing... it's not alive or dead, but 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?"

"yes?"

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 relaxed, 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 himself knows that this Taiyi is actually still very active...like a ghost hidden in history and spiritual mountains, and is 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 smiled on his face: "Okay, I understand. But the rule of our Sword Sect is that whoever finds something should own it - how do we divide Wansui's thing?"

Li Ke immediately said: "Brother Li, I want this, but I don't want this - I am still practicing refining essence into qi, and I can't use Wansui. How about this, we hand it over to the sect, and I will exchange my half for something I need when refining qi, and you can do whatever you want with your half."

"It's fair. How did you find this thing?"

"Ah? I just found it by chance when I went down to look for something, but I didn't tell anyone about it. I thought I got the official talisman before, so I went to catch it myself, but then I found out that I might not be able to catch it. It's not Wansui's thing, it's something else below. It just so happens that this time - Brother Li, I really admire you and Mei Zhangjian."

It seems that there is nothing to ask. Li Wuxiang took the bag of food on the windowsill and smiled at him: "Okay. Come to me tomorrow morning - these are your deposit."

Li Ke smiled with his eyes curved, nodded solemnly, and bowed twice: "It's a deal! Then I'll leave first, I'll go back to prepare things, water and so on... Brother Li, do you like to eat?"

"Whatever, anything is fine, as long as it's not sour."

After Li Ke left, Li Wuxiang closed the window and went back to the room to sit in meditation. It was not easy for him to go to Lingshan here, nor was it easy to invite Taiyi - Youjiuyuan was between the Netherworld and Lingshan. If Taiyi came at this time, maybe it would really "come", not just some thoughts or feelings.

So he took a nap first, and woke up in the second half of the night to meditate and absorb true energy.

When the sky was slightly bright again, he heard the door opening from the main house - Li Wuxiang stretched his legs and got off the ground, pushed the window and saw that Xiao Jing and Mei Qiulu had come out. Mei Qiulu helped Xiao Jingyi to straighten the hairpin on her head, and Xiao Jingyi slightly turned her face to let her do it. When she turned her face to the side, she saw Li Wuxiang and smiled at him: "Didn't you sleep last night?"

"I slept for a while." Li Wuxiang stood by the window waiting for Mei Qiulu to help her fix the hairpin, and saw her helping Mei Qiulu to straighten her collar.

At this time, Mei Qiulu also smiled at Li Wuxiang: "You can go down the mountain today and talk more with the people in the sect. If you want to find some medicinal herbs to replenish qi and blood, you can go deep into the mountains, or you can go down there - there are many roads in the mountains that lead to the bottom, but don't go too deep. You still have a mortal friend, right? You can't use many things in the mountains, but they are still very good for your friend."

Li Wuxiang nodded: "I am going down there today. Senior sister, there is a swordsman named Li Ke in our sect, right?"

Mei Qiulu went to see Xiao Jingyi: "Is there? ”

Xiao Jing nodded: "Yes, there is. He is from Lingqiao Peak. He came to the sect last year. He has good talent and temperament. Master Cao Jian seems to want to keep him on the mountain. He has been here for nearly a year. How do you know him? ”

"He came last night and found me." Li Wuxiang said, "He said he knew about Zeng Jianqiu and Pan Muyun, and said he admired me and Senior Sister Mei. Because he had seen Wansui once before, he wanted me to help him catch him. After catching him, we will each share half. He said that this will save them both. ”

The two swordsmen looked at each other, and Mei Qiulu was surprised: "He saw the long live!"

Xiao Jingyi breathed a sigh of relief: "That's great. It's their blessing - did you promise him?"

"I promised. But he said it was easy to catch that thing, saying he had an official token."

Xiao Jingyi smiled: "It's not difficult. That thing is hard to find, but not difficult to catch. He said he had an official token, so it's even easier -"

Mei Qiulu asked: "When are you going?"

Xiao Jingyi pulled her hand: "Don't go. First of all, if you go, do you have to share some of others' things? Second, Wuxiang It's the Golden Core Swordsman. Why are you worried about catching Wansui? If you don't want to be trapped in the sect in the future, come with me to Lingqiao Peak during the meeting. Li Ke is from Lingqiao Peak. It must be Cao Jianzhu who asked him to come. Alas, you didn't move around much before, but Cao Jianzhu still thinks about you. If you had half the thoughts of Wuxiang, I wouldn't have to worry about you. "

Mei Zhangjian thought about it and sighed softly: "You have to be careful."

Li Wuxiang nodded: "Okay, I know."

When the two of them went down the mountain, Li Wuxiang was relieved. They all said so, which seemed to mean that Li Ke's discovery of Wansui was nothing strange. And listening to Xiao Jingyi's statement, it seemed that Cao Jianzhu of Lingqiao Peak was also close to Mei Zhangjian, so this time he reached out to help.

That's good... In the past few months, he has always been trapped in various conspiracy traps, which made him stressed.

He walked into the east room of the main house and looked at Zeng Jianqiu and Pan Muyun. Seeing that they were still asleep, but their pulses were stable, he felt relieved.

After waiting for another quarter of an hour, he heard footsteps outside the house. It was Li Ke who came up. He had a long sword on his waist and a backpack on his back. When he saw Li Wuxiang, he smiled and said, "Brother, are you okay? Let's go now?"

Li Wuxiang also smiled and said, "Let's go."

Li Ke led him down the mountain along a very steep mountain road on the west side of Jiuzhu Peak. He looked very agile. He was a very outgoing person. Li Wuxiang said different things to different people. After only a few steps, Li Ke talked 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 don’t pay enough respect, then It’s just a few, and it’s definitely not 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, long live the emperor.” As I kept chanting, I was really noticed. "

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 shout out the words in my heart - Long live, long live, long live! At that time, there was nothing else in my head but this thought. Fortunately, I almost fell over and woke up. According to what the senior brothers told me, it’s time to meet Long Live.”

"It scared me to death that time. It was only later that I realized that 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 me, 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 separated! No matter how you walk on this road, it will take thousands of years. I came to the sect and 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, with many criss-crossing stone beams hanging in the air, and thick stalactites hanging from the top. Looking down, it seems that many stalagmites, cliffs, and mountains can 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 coincides with the real world.

Youjiu Abyss is so big. If it is not hidden between the Netherworld and Lingshan Mountain, but is 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."

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?

He was making a lot of noise, and the sound carried very far in the cave, making Li Wuxiang's ears feel a little uncomfortable.

But he felt at ease in his heart - just now he was a little bored thinking about the Taiyi True Spirit, 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 were written by the True Immortals who served as officials in the court when the Ye Dynasty was still in existence - that is, the 36 ancestors who later wrote them. Unfortunately, I can't see what they wrote. These are now magic tools, called official symbols. Senior Brother Li, if you feel the feeling I told you before, you should open this thing immediately and put your luck in it, so that -"

Li Wuxiang listened to Li Ke while he poked an eyeball to the top of his head in the dark and looked in the direction of the stone cave above.

Because he saw a figure there just now, he quickly poked his head to look down.

He felt a little sneaky.
