Volume 1 The Ups and Downs of This Life Chapter 34 The Three Mysteries of the World
In the end, Li Xuandu looked at Zhang Luanshan's feelings, did not embarrass Zhang Lianshan and Ma Suzhen, and let them go.
Of course, Li Xuandu also has other plans in his heart, in the past few years, he has been looking for a place to cultivate, and many friendships have been temporarily put on hold, and now he wants to continue the original incense love, it is not good to go directly to the door, after all, he is no longer the original Zifu Sword Immortal, so he wants to use this indirect way to gradually get in touch according to the distance of friendship, Zhang Luanshan is one of the more credible people. It's like playing chess, which may not be useful, and it may not be useless, and it depends on the future.
Then he took Zhou Shuning to leave Fengyin City according to the original plan, after getting out of the city gate, passing through a big lake, the two walked on the long causeway on the shore of the lake, looking at the sparkling lake, Li Xuandu said with great interest: "I remember this lake, it is said that there was a dragon under the water back then, it happened that a sword fairy passed through here, fighting the sword road, the two sides fought on the lake, setting off countless storms, and finally the sword fairy used a sword to kill the dragon, and then drifted away, so this lake was renamed Jiaojiao Lake." ”
Zhou Shuning's eyes widened, first looked at the lake, then turned his head to look at Li Xuandu beside him, and asked curiously, "Brother, are you a sword immortal?"
Li Xuandu shook his head and said: "In the past, I was called a sword immortal by the world, but in my own opinion, I am not a sword immortal, and the person who can really be called a sword immortal is the old sect master of the Qingwei Sect. ”
Although during this period of time, the little girl already roughly knew what the twelve sects of the righteous path were, but except for the Xuannu Sect, the situation of the other sects was not very familiar, so she asked, "What is the old sect master?"
Li Xuandu said softly: "It is the previous sect master, and now many older figures, after passing the age of ancient times, do not want to be distracted by mundane trivial matters, and are bent on seeking the avenue, so they will hand over the position of sect master to the hands of the younger generations, and let them come forward to do it." However, the power of the sect is still held by these old men, so it is also called the old sect master. ”
"Qingwei Sect is located on the coast of the East China Sea, built on the east side of the Jieshi, the sea can be seen, the old sect master is now nearly 100 years old, and has been famous for more than 80 years, it is a once-in-a-century kendo material, when he was young, he ran rampant in the world with an indestructible fairy sword, and when he was middle-aged, he was replaced with a jade heavy sword, and then replaced with an ordinary bamboo sword after the armor, no one was invincible. At the age of eighty, the sword was completed, and he invited the master of the ten sects of the evil way, one sword broke the river, two swords opened the mountain, and three swords defeated the enemy, and the world was impressed for a time, and was known as the 'sword god', and was also known as the sword god and the great sword immortal. It's just that in the past ten years, this old sect master has rarely appeared in the world. ”
Li Xuandu said magnificently, but the little girl didn't have much interest in listening to it, after all, what kind of son, young man, or heroine, fairy, a young man who is about to be a hundred years old, no matter how powerful it is, it is difficult for the little girl to be too interested.
Li Xuandu could only smile helplessly when he saw this, but he still continued: "Listen carefully, what I'm going to say next is common sense in the rivers and lakes, if you don't even know this, you will be laughed at when you walk the rivers and lakes in the future." ”
After Zhou Shuning heard this, she hurriedly cheered up and nodded seriously.
Li Xuandu said: "People in the world always love to distinguish between the superior and the inferior, especially the rivers and lakes. It is said that there is no first in literature, and there is no second in martial arts, so there is a saying that there is a world commentary on the rivers and lakes, to put it bluntly, it is a commentary on the contemporary figures in the world, known as 'the lips and tongue only move, and it also becomes the spring and autumn of the world', which is somewhat similar to the moon dan commentary of literati and scholars. ”
The little girl's eyes lit up, and she said: "I know the Yuedan Review, the book says that it reviews Shilin Shizi and articles and calligraphy and paintings, because it is released on the first day of each month, so it is called the Yuedan Review, no matter who it is, once the Yuedan Review is a question, the value will increase a hundred times, and it will be circulated in the world, and it will be a beautiful talk, so it is famous and prosperous. ”
Li Xuandu nodded and said: "That's pretty much what it means, and the same is true for the world evaluation, but the tone of the world evaluation is bigger than the Yuedan evaluation, and it's not once a month, it's once every three years, and it's divided into three lists, namely: Shaoxuan List, Taixuan List, and Old Xuanbang." Among them, the Shaoxuan List includes young heroes under the age of thirty, who are ranked according to the level of the cultivation realm, and once they reach the age of thirty, no matter how high the realm is, they will be immediately off the list. The Taixuan list is regardless of age, and the sitting order is completely assessed according to the level of cultivation, and the so-called top ten masters in the world come from this, among which the people on the list may not be accurate, but they can be recognized by the vast majority of people. ”
Zhou Shuning asked: "What about the old Xuan list? Is it a list that specifically includes the elderly?"
Li Xuandu shook his head with a smile and said: "The old Xuanbang does not include the elderly, but some hidden masters. Just like the old sect master of the Qingwei Sect I just said, the sword path is already the top figure in the world, and the old master of the Zhengyi Sect, that is, Yan Feiqing's master, is also the ultimate in the world, who is qualified to evaluate the level of these people? Therefore, the old Xuanbang is set up for these real masters, and they are ranked in a tie regardless of the order. ”
Zhou Shuning immediately understood, "In this way, the talents on the Lao Xuan List are the most powerful people, and the top ten masters in the world on the Tai Xuan List are actually not worthy of the name." ”
Li Xuandu was a little crying and laughing: "What you said can't be wrong, but you can't underestimate the masters on the Taixuan list because of this, after all, the people on the old Xuanbang either escape from the world, or travel the world, rarely appear in the world, take the old master of the Zhengyi Sect as an example, he has been traveling outside all these years, except for Yan Feiqing who once returned to Tianshi Mountain when he inherited the position of the head of the Zhengyi Sect, at other times, even if the elders of the Zhengyi Sect want to meet this old ancestor, it is extremely difficult." From this point of view, these masters on the old Xuan list are no longer very good people, so it is reasonable to exclude them from the top ten masters. Besides, with the status of these old-timers, they don't care about any list reviews. ”
Zhou Shuning asked again: "Who is the person who makes the world's comments?"
Li Xuandu hesitated for a moment and said: "There has been no definite answer, but there are rumors that it was done by people in the Taiping Sect, and the Taiping Sect has always been proficient in the way of arithmetic and verification, if it is done by them, it is reasonable." It's just that I don't understand why they deliberately conceal it and never admit it if it was really done by the Taiping Sect. ”
Zhou Shuning said as a matter of course: "Of course, it's because doing good deeds doesn't leave a name." ”
Li Xuandu smiled dumbly.
