Chapter 252 Storytelling

The grass grows and the warblers fly, and a hundred flowers bloom, and before you know it, it's late spring.

These days, for the entire practice community, there are two major events that have recently paid attention to. One is that the Great Priest of the Xiling Temple in the Apocalypse Realm died in battle in the mountains outside Chang'an City.

The other thing is that Liu Bai, the number one powerhouse in the world, finally broke through the realm, and successfully broke through to become a legendary figure above the five realms, a veritable saint of swords.

Because Liu Bai made too much noise when he broke through that day, it aroused the reaction of almost all sword masters such as Jun Mo and Ye Su. As a result, the news of his breakthrough was widely known among the upper class of practitioners, and he became the leader of all sword masters. The motivation for practitioners to climb to a higher level.

But for the secular people in Chang'an City, what they are most interested in recently is the fact that the general who guarded the northern border for decades returned to Chang'an after his old age.

During these years when Xiahou was stationed in the northern border, he brutally suppressed the barbarians from other lands, opened up the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and made great contributions. Naturally, it deserves the attention of the people of the Tang Dynasty.

At the same time, with his return to old age, it also caused quite a storm in Chang'an City, because Ning Que, a disciple on the second floor of the academy, formally submitted a letter of challenge to him, and the two met to fight to the death by Yanming Lake.

And because of this matter, Ye Su, who knows how to watch the world, has also come to Chang'an for a while, and slowly swam with Li, and lived in that little Taoist temple that is not even a little famous.

These days his life has been very simple and boring.

Sometimes I distribute leaflets in the surrounding streets and lanes and shops, calling the neighbors to come and listen to me tell the true meaning of Taoism.

Sometimes he carries water and dry food for the neighbors, repairs houses and tiles, and reflects Haotian's benevolence and friendship through daily words and deeds.

Sometimes he wandered around in Chang'an City, carefully observing the life trajectories and thoughts of ordinary people.

One day, after helping a pair of elderly people with limited mobility to carry water, he just went back and stepped into the gate of the Taoist temple. sparrow.

Ye Su took a few steps forward and gave a slight salute, then said calmly, "I've seen Mr. Guo."

Guo Yu bowed back, looked up at him carefully, sighed and said, "Aren't you going to visit your sister?"

Ye Su's expression was slightly startled, but then he immediately regained his composure and said, "She's doing fine now. I don't want to disturb her."

"Hey, why are you bothering? You clearly miss her in your heart, but you always act like you don't care about her."

Guo Yu let out a long sigh, looked him in the eyes, and said, "You should understand that she looks strong on the outside, as if she can't be defeated by any difficulty."

"Actually, my heart is more sensitive than ordinary little girls, and I need more care, especially from your own brother."

"Can't you see that she has been living for you for more than ten years. If it wasn't for you, she might have left a place like the Tribunal long ago."

Ye Su was silent for a long time, with a sad look on his face, he said helplessly: "I understand what you mean, sir, the reason I did this is to let her stop being centered on me, to live for herself well, and to become a better woman." Stronger than my brother."

Guo Yu raised his eyebrows and said, "But have you ever thought that what you did might cause her unimaginable harm? Maybe you can make her stronger, but I believe that kind of strength is definitely not what you hoped for." have witnessed."

Ye Su was silent for a long time again, took a few deep breaths, and said, "Perhaps what you say is right, but the three feet between me and Red Fish is not a one-day cold, and it is not so easy to change."

As he said that, his eyes flickered slightly, he stared at Guo Yu and said, "By the way, sir, you didn't come here today just to talk about the red fish with me, did you?"

"There are other things." Guo Yu nodded slightly and said seriously: "With all due respect, I'm curious, what insights have you gained from your experience in Chang'an these days?"

A faint smile finally appeared on Ye Su's calm face. He sighed softly and said, "Chang'an is indeed a magical city. The spirit of the people here is quite different from those in other countries. I have really benefited a lot from it."

"What about Haotian?" Guo Yu looked directly into his eyes and asked, "Are you still sticking to your previous ideas about Haotian?"

"There are some doubts, but I still think it is necessary for ordinary people to believe in Haotian."

Ye Su replied indifferently, then showed a slightly puzzled look, and said, "Actually, I wanted to ask last time, why did you pay so much attention to Ye's matter?"

"It's very simple. On the one hand, I am somewhat dissatisfied with Haotian Daomen, and on the other hand, it is because of Master."

Seeing that Ye Su's face was full of confusion after hearing what he said, Guo Yu thought for a while, looked at him and said solemnly: "Well, I will tell you a story, and after listening to it, you may understand what I said to you. The reason for those words."

Guo Yu took two steps and came under the big tree in the courtyard. Looking at the birds in the treetops, he slowly began to say, "In the ancient times, all things started. At that time, human beings were just born, and they drank blood and cultivated by slash-and-burn."

"Humans not only have to deal with those wild beasts, but also face all kinds of dangerous natural disasters, and the living environment is extremely harsh."

"The road is blue, and the thorns and thorns are overcome. After years of development, human beings have finally become a little stronger, but they still appear weak and powerless in the face of those natural disasters."

"In order to solve these difficulties, the earliest sages among human beings who had achieved success in cultivation thought hard and finally came up with a solution."

Ye Su was startled and had a vague suspicion. He couldn't help but ask, "What can I do?"

"Human sages used some special method to awaken a powerful existence in the rules of heaven and earth with the help of faith, making it like a barrier to protect human beings in it."

Guo Yu glanced at him and said: "Since then, human beings have entered a period of rapid development, and soon created a brilliant civilization. There are more and more practitioners, and they are getting stronger and stronger. Even the most ordinary Humans are countless times stronger than before.”

Ye Su's complexion changed suddenly, and his hands clenched into fists.

Guo Yu ignored him, and his tone suddenly became serious, and said: "However, while that powerful existence provides protection for human beings, it also hinders the development of human beings."

"Because like us humans, it also needs to eat, and its taste is very unique. Only those great practitioners who transcend the five realms are qualified to make its food."

"So every once in a while, when the cultivators above the five realms have accumulated enough, it will wake up and eat, and harvest a bunch of people who have cultivated beyond the ordinary in the world."

Hearing this, Ye Su seemed to have thought of something extremely terrifying, and his body couldn't help trembling slightly. He stared at Guo Yu closely, with a deep look of fear in his eyes, and asked, "Could it be that this is Yong Ye?" why?"
