"Young Martial Uncle, I remember you started your closed-door training last year. You suddenly came down the mountain this time. Have you broken through to the Great Grandmaster Realm? "
After a simple breakfast in Longmen Pass, Li Zexuan followed Xuan Qing to stroll among the tents and check if there were any severely injured sergeants who needed help. After checking on the recovery of several seriously injured sergeants, Li Zexuan suddenly asked Xuan Qing.
Speaking of which, ever since he recovered from his injuries last night, he had been busy treating the wounds of the heavily injured soldiers in the barracks until dawn. If it wasn't for the military doctor that Hong Wenxing had sent someone to invite over, he would have been busy until now! After that, he went back to the corner tower and slept for more than two hours. But even so, Li Zexuan didn't feel sleepy at all. Instead, he felt refreshed.
It was mainly because with the help of Xuan Qing last night, Li Zexuan broke through to the late stage of the Great Grandmaster Realm. His mental strength also soared a lot. Not sleeping for a day had no effect on him at all.
Besides, when he fought Wu Jie alone, he was exhausted and fell into a coma. He had slept for several hours.
When he was "interrogated" by Xuan Qing last night, Li Zexuan was in a panic. He was afraid that his identity as a time traveler would be exposed. But after a night of digestion and contemplation, he felt a lot more at ease. But he began to wonder why his Young Martial Uncle would appear here at this time.
"… To reach the Great Grandmaster Realm, in addition to talent and hard work, you need more opportunities and martial arts comprehension. It's easier said than done."
Xuan Qing carried the heavy sword case on his back and walked with his hands behind his back. He answered Li Zexuan's question with a blank face.
Li Zexuan, who was a little behind Xuan Qing, glanced at the sword case on Xuan Qing's back. In the memory of his predecessor, no matter where his Young Martial Uncle went, he would carry a sword on his back. He remembered that his Young Martial Uncle once said, "The sword never leaves the body.
As long as the sword is with you, the sword is Xuan Qing's best brother. It will never betray him.
It was because of this almost crazy obsession that Xuan Qing's talent in swordsmanship was rarely matched by others. It made his swordsmanship so pure that even Spiritual Master Ling Xu felt inferior in this aspect!
"Then, Junior Martial Uncle, what realm are you at now?"
Hearing this, Li Zexuan could not help but ask curiously.
Regarding Xuan Qing's cultivation, he really couldn't see through it. What's more, when Xuan Qing was fighting Wu Jie outside the Dragon Gate, he wasn't there, so naturally he couldn't judge Xuan Qing's current strength!
In his impression, Xuan Qing was already at the peak of the Supreme Power Realm before he started his closed-door training. With his talent and aptitude, he must have made great progress in the past year of closed-door training!
"Half-step to Great Grandmaster! Although he had seen the threshold of Great Grandmaster, it was difficult for him to cross it! The further you go on the path of martial arts, the more difficult it gets. Little Xuan, you must remember not to be greedy and advance rashly in the future, so as to avoid going astray! "
Xuan Qing said after a moment of silence.
Li Zexuan nodded and said, "Don't worry, Martial Uncle. This disciple will remember Martial Uncle's teachings and fight steadily and surely. I won't be greedy and advance prematurely! Oh, right, Little Martial Uncle! Why did you go down the mountain this time? Did Martial Uncle Sect Leader give you some task? "
Hearing this, Xuan Qing suddenly stopped and his expression became a little unnatural. After a while, he turned to look at Li Zexuan and said, "Martial Uncle went down the mountain this time because I was instructed by Martial Uncle Sect Leader. When I arrived in Chang 'an, I wanted to see you on the way, but I didn't expect to learn that the Yanhuang College you founded was attacked by Wu Jie a few hours ago. In order to track Wu Jie's whereabouts, Martial Uncle followed you all the way here!"
"I see!"
Li Zexuan nodded. His expression didn't change, but his heart began to move. He secretly wondered what important task Dragon Tiger Mountain had to send Xuan Qing down the mountain in person. This was a little unreasonable!
After Spiritual Master Ling Xu passed away, there was no more Great Grandmaster on Mount Longhu. This was very inconsistent with the status of the Celestial Master Taoism in the world. In addition, there was still a Great Grandmaster in the world who came from the Shaolin Temple. If the Dao Sect didn't produce another Great Grandmaster, wouldn't it be suppressed by the Buddhist Sect? Therefore, the most important task of the Celestial Master Taoism in the past two years was to cultivate a Great Grandmaster!
And Xuan Qing was the next most promising disciple of the Celestial Master Taoism in Dragon Tiger Mountain. This was said by Spiritual Master Ling Xu himself, and no one doubted it. Therefore, Feng Lingzi, the head of the Celestial Master Taoism, would never let Xuan Qing go down the mountain unless there was a particularly important or urgent matter!
"Do you want to ask what task the Sect Leader gave me?"
Xuan Qing's deep eyes seemed to be able to see through the soul. He fixed his gaze on Li Zexuan and asked after a while.
"Uh … Martial Uncle, if it's inconvenient for you to say, then forget it!"
Li Zexuan was stunned at first, and then he said unexpectedly.
The implication was that he really wanted to know what task the Sect Leader of the Celestial Master Taoism had given Xuan Qing.
Xuan Qing was silent for a moment, then he turned and said as he walked, "Previously, when your Sect Leader learned that you were now the Marquis of the Tang Empire, he sent me down the mountain to visit the Emperor through your recommendation! But it happened that you were killing locusts in the northern provinces and counties, and Wu Jie attacked Yanhuang College, so I came here to solve your problem first! "
Xuan Qing's temperament was destined to be a straightforward person. He would not beat around the bush and said whatever he wanted to say. Li Zexuan next to him was stunned. After being surprised for a long time, Li Zexuan couldn't help but ask, "Little … Little Martial Uncle, is the Sect Leader planning to let the Celestial Master Taoism enter the secular world?"
In Li Zexuan's impression, the Celestial Master Taoism of Longhu Mountain could be regarded as a semi-secluded sect. They did not deal with the local government, nor did they have disciples enter the imperial court as officials (of course, Li Zexuan was an exception). Their usual contact with the outside world was probably only to treat the mountain people!
They existed in the world, but they were hidden from the world. This was the previous state of the Celestial Master Taoism of Longhu Mountain!
That was why Li Zexuan was so shocked when he heard from Xuan Qing about the mission given by Feng Ling Zi!
Xuan Qing seemed to have prepared for this question. As soon as Li Zexuan's voice fell, he directly replied,
"Xuan, you are also a member of the Celestial Master Taoism. Since the moment you entered the imperial court, the Celestial Master Taoism has already entered the secular world! Our Sect Leader said that now the world is gradually stabilizing, and the current Emperor is also a wise emperor. If the Celestial Master Taoism wants to pass on from generation to generation, it must deal with a good relationship with the current ruler. It is not to flatter him, but to not offend him! Blindly avoiding the secular world will only lead to the gradual extinction of the Celestial Master Taoism. "
"You are wise, Sect Leader!"
Hearing this, Li Zexuan could not help but give a thumbs-up and said, "Although there are still wolves around the Tang Empire, the current Emperor is working hard to govern the country. The strength of the Tang Empire is getting stronger day by day. This is something that everyone can feel! If Taoism wants to pass on for a long time, it should not hide from the secular world. Only when the world knows the positive role of Taoism in the Tang Empire, will there be a steady stream of people who want to cultivate Taoism!
Taoism is like this, and so is the Celestial Master Taoism of Longhu Mountain! In the next ten or twenty years, the Tang Empire will undergo earth-shaking changes and become unprecedentedly powerful. For the Celestial Master Taoism, there are only two choices. One is to follow the trend of the times and make some changes in time to lead Taoism to become more prosperous and strong. The other is to completely hide from the secular world. After ten or twenty years, the world will forget about the Celestial Master Taoism, and then there will be no Celestial Master Taoism in the world!
Besides, if the Celestial Master Taoism cultivates in seclusion, what is the difference between it and those Buddhist monks who only know how to eat vegetarian food, chant Buddhist scriptures, burn incense, and knock on wooden fish? Sect Master Martial Uncle's decision is undoubtedly a very wise one! "
As a member of Taoism, Li Zexuan naturally wanted to see Taoism become more and more prosperous and strong. In addition, Taoism was a local sect in the Central Plains. He did not want Taoism to be completely suppressed by Buddhism. Compared with the Buddhist monks who only ate vegetarian food and chanted Buddhist scriptures and did not work, he preferred Taoism's way of cultivating in seclusion. He felt that the seclusion of the Celestial Master Taoism in Longhu Mountain was very inappropriate!
Xuan Qing nodded frequently. Suddenly, he looked at Li Zexuan strangely and said, "Xiaoxuan, I didn't expect that after leaving the mountain for more than a year, you would see things more deeply than before! When you were in Longhu Mountain, you were still a simple and honest boy who only knew how to cultivate! "
Li Zexuan was shocked. He secretly thought that he was too smart. He had to restrain himself to prevent Xuan Qing from discovering his identity!
But he did not know that Xuan Qing did not intend to investigate his abnormal behavior for a long time!
"Uh! When I was in Longhu Mountain, I had my master to take care of everything. Why would I need to worry about these things? "
Li Zexuan scratched his head and quickly found an excuse for himself.
Hearing Li Zexuan mention Lingxu, Xuan Qing's face darkened. After a long silence, he sighed and said, "Xiaoxuan, you continue to patrol the barracks. I will go out for a walk!"
"Yes! Martial Uncle! "
Li Zexuan knew that he had accidentally touched a sore spot in Xuan Qing's heart. In his memory, Xuan Qing and Lingxu were brothers in name, but in fact, they were master and disciple. Xuan Qing entered the sect late. Not long after he entered the sect, the previous First Elder of Longhu Mountain, who was Xuan Qing and Lingxu's master, passed away. Therefore, whenever Xuan Qing had any problems in martial arts, he would go to Spiritual Master Lingxu for help. It could be said that most of Xuan Qing's martial arts were taught by Spiritual Master Lingxu!
Later, Li Zexuan was brought back to the Celestial Master Sect by Spiritual Master Lingxu and became his last disciple. Xuan Qing changed and became Li Zexuan's Martial Uncle. Because they were from the same sect, Xuan Qing usually took care of Li Zexuan. The relationship between the two was quite good!
