Comprehensive martial arts: Qixia town storytellers, the beginning of the tie to Qiao Feng

Chapter 387 Wu Zhao's Experience in the Upper Realm

Datang, the eastern capital.

After Wu Zhao visited the great rivers and mountains of the Tang Dynasty, he returned to the Eastern Capital and stayed in the inn opposite Zuixianju.

Practice hard every night, and go to Zuixianju to drink and listen to books during the day.

day to day.

It is worth mentioning that.

Since the four dynasties began to communicate with each other, the stories that Lu Yan once told in other dynasties have also circulated.

Now the storyteller of Zuixianju is telling the story of "Sentimental Swordsman Ruthless Sword".

Although Wu Zhao is already a golden immortal.

He has already broken away from the ordinary martial arts, and is aloof.

But when he heard Li Xunhuan's story, he was still very fascinated and relished it.

As the shopkeeper of Zuixianju.

Fu Junyue recognized Wu Zhao on the first day Wu Zhao came to Zuixianju to listen to books.

But she didn't do anything to Wu Zhao.

Instead, he greeted Wu Zhao like an ordinary guest.

As early as the day when her martial arts were abolished, she had let go of the hatred in her heart and truly treated herself as an ordinary person.

Now she is the proprietress of Zuixianju in the Eastern Capital, other than that, she has no other identity.

Today Wu Zhao came to Zuixianju to listen to books as usual.

She sat on the second floor as usual.

After waiting for the time, the old man over [-] years old said a piece of "Sentimental Swordsman Ruthless Sword".

It's just that what Wu Zhao didn't expect was that he didn't wait for the old storyteller, but another storyteller.

Wu Zhao looked at Lu Yan who was sitting in front of him, and was stunned for a while before he realized it.

The person in front of him doesn't look like Lu Yan, but is Lu Yan!

Lu Yan looked at Wu Zhao's surprised look, smiled slightly, and said, "You seem surprised."

Wu Zhao nodded slightly, and replied, "I'm really a little surprised. When I saw you just now, I suddenly felt like going back in time."

Lu Yan said: "Hearing what you said, I do have such a feeling."

Wu Zhao looked at Lu Yan and asked curiously, "You should have come to see me specially this time, right? It's not just for reminiscing about the old days, is it?"

Lu Yan replied, "I did come to you specially this time because I have a few questions I want to ask."

Wu Zhao looked at Lu Yan with a surprised look, and asked, "Is there anything I can ask you for advice?"

Lu Yan thought about it carefully, and replied, "It shouldn't be a rich experience."

Wu Zhao is very smart.

After hearing Lu Yan's answer, she only thought for a while, and guessed Lu Yan's intention.

She asked Lu Yan directly, "Do you want to go to the Upper Realm?"

Lu Yan nodded and replied, "That's right, I plan to go to the fairy world."

Originally, Lu Yan planned to go back to Daming to catch up with old friends.

But because of the sudden arrival of the Demon Emperor's envoy from the Demon Realm, and that very special reminder, he thought about it, and then changed his mind.

He has the unique skill of opening the gate of heaven with a sword, and can ascend to the fairy world at any time.

But the question is, how will he return to the human world after his ascension?

You can't open the gate with one sword, right?
Because of this question, he thought of Wu Zhao.

Wu Zhao is the only person he knows who has been to the upper realm and returned to the human world from the upper realm.

After much deliberation, only Wu Zhao could help him answer this question.

He said directly to Wu Zhao: "I can open the sky gate with a sword and ascend, but where will I return after ascension? How can I come back?"

Hearing Lu Yan's question, Wu Zhao replied: "You are a normal person, so you should appear in the fairy world directly after ascension."

"All those who ascend to the fairy world will appear in a place called Dengxian Temple in the fairy world."

"There will be someone in charge of picking you up and arranging your whereabouts."

After hearing Wu Zhao's answer, Lu Yan asked, "Do you have to accept their arrangement?"

Wu Zhao replied: "Of course you can also choose to be a casual cultivator. It's just that most people who have just ascended to the fairy world have no one to rely on, and their strength is low. It is the best choice to join the sect to practice and obtain protection."

Hearing Wu Zhao's answer, Lu Yan asked curiously: "From what you mean, it seems that people often ascend to the fairy world?"

Wu Zhao nodded and said, "There are many small planes under the fairy world, and these small planes are similar to the human world in the past."

"However, it is far inferior to the human world in terms of land area and population."

"Although there are very few people in each small plane who can ascend."

"But hundreds of small planes add up, and there will always be dozens of ascenders every year."

This is the first time Lu Yan has heard of the existence of the small plane.

He was a little surprised and asked: "Could it be that our human world is also a small plane?"

Wu Zhao shook his head and said, "The human world is a big plane equal to the fairy world and the demon world."

"We look much weaker than the fairy world and the demon world now, because of the weakening of the demon and witch races and the interruption of the emperor's rule."

Wu Zhao's time to ascend to the Demon Realm was not too long.

But after her ascension, she took advantage of her spare time after practicing to make up a lot of lessons.

She continued to explain to Lu Yan: "The reason why the demon world and the fairy world have always been strong is because they have almost never had wars."

"But our human race is different. There was a Lich war before, and then someone cut off the emperor's rule."

"These factors have caused our human power to be weakened repeatedly, and even invaded by the fairy world and the demon world."

"It is also because of this that our current strength in the human world seems to be far inferior to that of the demon world and the fairy world."

Hearing Wu Zhao's explanation, Lu Yan asked in surprise, "Do you know about the Lich War?"

Wu Zhao nodded and replied, "The Demon Realm has records about this, I've seen it before."

Lu Yan was a little dumbfounded when he heard this.

If he knew that Wu Zhao knew about the Lich War, why would he need to run around to investigate!

After feeling a lot of emotion, Lu Yan asked again: "So if I ascend, how can I return to the human world?"

Wu Zhao replied: "You need to have a position in the world, and then activate the boundary stone, so that you can open the transmission channel and return to the world."

Lu Yan asked curiously after hearing the words: "How to locate this? What is the boundary stone?"

Wu Zhao replied: "Positioning is a kind of induction in the dark. Your wife, your friends, or things you are familiar with can all be used as a kind of positioning."

"As for the boundary stone, it is a stone that can be used to open the transmission channel. This kind of stone also existed in our world in the past, but it was hollowed out by the demon world and the fairy world during the period when our power in the world was weakened again and again. So now only the demon world and the fairy world have boundary stones."

Lu Yan looked at Wu Zhao in surprise, and asked, "Did you fly to Zangshuge when you ascended? How did you know so many things?"

Wu Zhao smiled and said, "These things may sound strange to you, but they are not secrets at all in the Demon Realm."

"Just like the stories you told, no matter where you are now, you can definitely hear them as long as you find a teahouse."

Lu Yan sighed and said, "It's really not easy in our world."

There is almost never any great chaos in the demon world and fairy world.

The human world has experienced the Lich War, and experienced the severance of the Human Emperor.

Hit and weakened again and again.

It is really not easy for them to continue to live as humans without being assimilated by the demon world and the fairy world.

Wu Zhao nodded slightly and said, "I had the same feeling as you when I saw these records."

Lu Yan asked again: "Is the boundary stone very precious?"

Wu Zhao shook his head and said, "It's not particularly precious, but it's not easy to get."

"At least when I was in the demon world, I only saw the boundary stone once when I was teleported back to the human world. I have never seen the boundary stone at other times."

After hearing Wu Zhao's words, Lu Yan concluded, "So as long as I have a place in the world and a boundary stone in my hand, I can return to the world at any time."

Wu Zhao nodded and said, "Unless there are no accidents, it will be like this."

"Accident?" Lu Yan asked with some concern: "What other accident can happen here?"

Wu Zhao replied: "For example, if you encounter a space storm that doesn't happen once in a thousand years, the teleportation channel you opened will be affected, and it may send you somewhere."

"If you're unlucky, maybe you can report directly to the Nether Realm."

Space storms are extremely rare.

But once it does, almost no one is immune to it.

With a bit of luck, there is a deviation in the transmission.

If you are unlucky, it will be directly torn apart by the space storm and wiped out.

Lu Yan's expression changed slightly upon hearing this.

He suddenly had an ominous feeling.

Seeing Lu Yan's face change, Wu Zhao said, "You don't have to worry too much about space storms."

"Because space storms are extremely rare, they only appear once in a thousand years."

"Look at the Demon Realm, they have come to the world so many times, when did they encounter a space storm?"

Lu Yan looked at Wu Zhao with an extremely strange gaze, and said, "Stop talking, the more you talk, the more I feel like I might encounter a space storm."

Wu Zhao laughed when he heard Lu Yan's words, and didn't say anything about the space storm.

Lu Yan continued to ask, "What does the boundary stone look like?"

Wu Zhao replied: "Boundary stones are born naturally and contain the power of the five elements. One stone has five changes of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, and it is easy to identify."

After hearing Wu Zhao's answer, Lu Yan silently memorized the characteristics of the boundary stone, and then asked Wu Zhao some other things about the fairy world.

The distribution of forces in the fairy world and the demon world is roughly the same.

They are all based on mortals, casual cultivators, families, and sects.

Loose cultivators are mostly lucky gods who have been promoted to true immortals, because they have not laid a solid foundation, and it is difficult to make further progress in this life.

Whether it's the family or the sect, they naturally don't like such people very much.

Because of this, most of them became casual cultivators because they were not accepted.

As for the family, it was established by some sect disciples after leaving the sect.

The strongest are basically at the Golden Immortal level. Although they are higher than casual cultivators, they are limited to this.

Occasionally there is an ancestor of Da Luo Zhenxian level, that is a big family.

And if you want to establish a sect, the minimum requirement is Da Luo Zhenxian.

If one wants to become a top existence in the sect, the suzerain is basically at the level of Da Luo Jinxian.

In some super sects, there are even quasi-sages sitting in charge.

These sects with quasi-sages are basically the top forces in the upper world.

After all, above the quasi-sage is the level of the saint of heaven, which is already a rare existence.

As for the stronger saints who have transcended the shackles of heaven, they are even rarer.

It is said that the Demon Emperor abandons the Heavenly Emperor, the most powerful person in the fairy world, and they are the existence of the Dao Saint level!

As for whether there is a more powerful existence above the Great Dao Saint, Wu Zhao is not sure.

Because Wu Zhao ascended to the Demon Realm, and has never been to the Immortal World, Wu Zhao's understanding of the Immortal World is limited to these more common-sense things.

As for how much help he could give Lu Yan, Wu Zhao was not quite sure.

While Lu Yan was talking with Wu Zhao, the [-]-year-old man who had been storytelling in Zuixianju finally stepped onto the stage and started storytelling.

Lu Yan and Wu Zhao stopped talking together and began to listen to the book quietly.

Wu Zhao looked at Lu Yan, and suddenly asked curiously, "What do you think of what he said?"

Lu Yan replied with a smile: "It's not bad, but it's still a bit worse than me."

Hearing what Lu Yan said, Wu Zhao said instead, "I think this old man is more like a storyteller than you."

Speaking of that, Wu Zhao looked at Fu Junyue who was standing behind the counter, and said, "I don't know where she found the storyteller, it looks like you will look like you when you get old."

Lu Yan was slightly taken aback when he heard this.

At this time, he carefully looked at the appearance of the storyteller, and it was indeed somewhat like his appearance when he was old.

But now he is a true immortal, unless he wants to, his face will not grow old until he dies.

The two chatted for a while, and then stopped to talk quietly.

After more than an hour, the storyteller ended today's storytelling.

When someone wanted the storyteller to say another paragraph, the storyteller shook his head and refused.

"That's all for today's storytelling. If you want to listen to it again, you can wait until tomorrow."

"If you must listen to it today, please donate ten thousand taels of silver."

"This is the rule set by Mr. Lu, and we don't want to break the rules."

Mr. Storyteller brought out "Mr. Lu's Rules", and even if everyone wanted to listen to another paragraph, they felt a little helpless.

It was Zhang Yuanwai, who used to come to listen to Lu Yan's storytelling, who yelled.

"You old man is full of nonsense. I used to come here every day when Mr. Lu was telling stories in Zuixianju."

"Mr. Lu is in a good mood to tell us a little more, but he never takes money!"

Everyone echoed Zhang Yuanwai's words.

Although some of them had never met Lu Yan.

But they all knew that Zhang Yuanwai was a frequent visitor to this Zuixianju. He used to come to listen to Lu Yan's storytelling, and he was the one who had seen Lu Yan with his own eyes.

Since Zhang Yuanwai said so, he must be right.

At this time, the old storyteller wanted to explain, but Zhang Yuanwai didn't listen, and directly threw a silver ingot on the stage.

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and say another paragraph."

The old storyteller looked at the ten taels of silver, and immediately showed a smile on the old man's face, and said, "That's all right, the old man will just say another paragraph!"

Although these ten taels of silver are far from 10,000 taels.

But something is better than nothing!

Seeing this scene, Lu Yan shook his head with a smile, and said, "The rules I set up by myself are almost broken by myself."

In the past, it was set to tell a story every three days, and it would cost tens of thousands of taels of silver to say one more paragraph.

Later, I became more casual. I said as much as I wanted, and said as little as I didn’t want to.

Wu Zhao glanced at Lu Yan and said, "People are always like this. The stronger they are, the less willing they are to be bound by rules."

"People always say that the emperor committed the same crime as the common people, but if the emperor really broke the law, who would dare to punish him?"

Lu Yan laughed and said, "You are right."

After saying that, Lu Yan got up and walked downstairs.

He went straight to Zhang Yuanwai's table and sat down, and said to Zhang Yuanwai: "I haven't seen you for a long time, old friend, how about buying me a drink yesterday?"

Zhang Yuanwai was taken aback when he saw Lu Yan sitting opposite him at first.

When he saw Lu Yan's appearance and recognized Lu Yan, he suddenly came back to his senses, with a look of surprise on his face!
"Please! Must please!"

"Shopkeeper, here's a pot... No! Here's an altar of yesterday's spring!"

Zhang Yuanwai looked at Lu Yan, really overjoyed.

During these days, he has been thinking about Lu Yan.

I didn't expect to meet Lu Yan suddenly today, it really gave him a big surprise!

Fu Junyue, who was standing behind the counter, was also taken aback when she saw Lu Yan.

She almost thought she was blinded by a mistake.

But when she saw the very familiar smile on Lu Yan's face, she knew she was right!

"I ordered this wine today!"

Fu Junyue personally brought two altars for Lu Yan and Zhang Yuanwai, and poured wine for Lu Yan himself.

The guests around saw this scene with surprise on their faces.

Zhang Yuanwai is a wealthy gentry in the eastern capital, with a lot of money and a lot of fame.

Fu Junyue is also a well-known beauty shopkeeper in Dongdu.

These two people are so polite to this young man, what is the origin of this young man?
Just when everyone was curious, Lu Yan and Zhang Yuanwai had already started drinking.

Lu Yan looked at Zhang Yuanwai's face and asked, "Have you felt unwell recently?"

Zhang Yuanwai was slightly taken aback, and then replied: "That's right, I haven't been able to sleep well lately, and I feel a little restless."

Lu Yan nodded slightly and said nothing more.

Zhang Yuanwai didn't talk too much, and the two drank heavily and ate meat.

It wasn't until the storyteller finished another paragraph that Lu Yan drank the last sip of the jar of wine.

He stood up and walked to Zhang Yuanwai's side, reached out and patted Zhang Yuanwai's shoulder lightly, and said, "I'm leaving first, and I'll drink when I have a chance."

Zhang Yuanwai looked at Lu Yan and wanted to say something, but suddenly closed his eyes, as if he was enjoying something.

Earlier, Lu Yan patted him on the shoulder, and quietly transferred a ray of immortal power into his body, which could eliminate all diseases for him.

With this ray of immortal power, although Zhang Yuanwai can't cultivate immortals, he can at least live a long life.

This can be regarded as Lu Yan's care for his old friend.

Lu Yan glanced at Zhang Yuanwai, who seemed to be in a trance, and then looked at Fu Junyue standing behind the counter.

He waved at Fu Junyue and said with a smile, "Let's go."

Fu Junyue didn't ask to stay, she just smiled and said, "Come here often when I have time."

Lu Yan chuckled and said, "Definitely."
