Chapter 455 Two People Who Changed the World
The tomb is not big and the tombstone is simple.
There's not even a word on the tombstone about whose grave it is.
Lu Xun looked at the lonely grave, and then looked at the gentleman again.
"Give me the wine." The gentleman said lightly.
Lu Xun obediently took out the spirit wine from the storage ring and presented it with both hands.
The gentleman took the wine, opened it, smelled the aroma, and said with a smile: "Isn't this the wine from Lai Fu Restaurant?"
Lu Xun replied: "That's right."
He originally taught players skills and asked them to buy wine from Lai Fu Restaurant as tuition. Then he put the wine back and continued to sell it, and new players continued to buy it, creating a cycle.
Therefore, most of the spiritual wine in his storage ring came from Lai Fu Restaurant.
The gentleman squatted down and poured the wine directly onto the ground, saying as he poured, "Why don't you come over to greet your uncle?"
Lu Xun had received the answer. This lonely grave was indeed the tomb of his uncle.
He came to the tomb and bowed properly.
Although he had never met his uncle, he still had endless respect for this figure who was worthy of being canonized as a saint.
Among these inscriptionless steles, the one that impressed Lu Xun the most was Wu Zetian's.
Normally, the monuments of emperors and generals would have some information about their achievements written on them, so a monument without words on it is very special.
There are several theories circulating in the world as to why a monument without any words was erected, and no definitive answer has been given to this day.
As the master poured the wine, he said, "You don't have to look so sad. Your uncle died of old age."
Lu Xun didn't know how to respond to this, and of course, the gentleman didn't need his response.
Indeed, in Tianchen Continent, the so-called "living as long as heaven and earth" is an unrealistic thing.
Even for a person with a high level of cultivation, there is a limit to his lifespan.
But in most cases, the higher the level of cultivation, the longer the lifespan.
The gentleman continued to pour the wine and said to himself: "Compared to me, your uncle really has no talent in cultivation."
Lu Xun heard this, but he didn't take it too seriously.
What does the gentleman mean when he says he has no talent? No one knows.
Lu Xun would never really think that his uncle was a practitioner of low cultivation. He already had experience in this regard. What the uncle said as "a little bit" meant "a billion bits", and what the uncle said as "so-so" meant "super awesome" in the eyes of normal people!
Especially...when the gentleman compares himself with others!
After the gentleman poured out all the wine in the jar, he slowly stood up.
He said to Lu Xun: "No need to be curious, I buried your uncle with my own hands, and I also erected the tombstone with my own hands."
After he finished speaking, he smiled and said, "I am very experienced in this area. Do you think the location of this cemetery is well chosen?"
The gentleman's tone was very calm when he spoke.
But for some reason, Lu Xun felt uncomfortable listening to it.
——I have lived too long.
It is just like the line in the poem: [Looking back thousands of miles, my old friends are long gone, and the whole room is filled with clothes as white as snow].
…
…
The master and his disciple did not stay in front of the tomb for long.
The master took Lu Xun back to the outside of the small courtyard.
Lu Xun looked at the master, pondered for a moment, and said, "Sir, can you tell me about you and your uncle?"
"Oh? Are you curious?" the gentleman replied.
"Yeah." Lu Xun did not deny it.
How could I not be curious? This was a person who had changed the entire Tianchen Continent!
The master looked up at the sky and said calmly, "It's nothing. Although your uncle and I are brothers from the same mother, we are very different in character and talent."
"I am good at practicing, and my skills progress quickly. I can learn any technique in one go, and I can understand it in no time."
"Your uncle is different. He is very slow in his cultivation. Even if I give him a hand from time to time, he is still slow."
"The only things people can praise about him are his skill in making tea and his ability with a sword," said the gentleman with a gentle smile on his face.
Lu Xun listened quietly, this was a secret that no player had ever discovered in the previous life!
The gentleman put his hands behind his back, tapped the back of his left hand with his right index finger, and continued: "Later, the ancient catastrophe began."
Lu Xun immediately perked up when he heard this.
"At that time, my cultivation was already top-notch in the entire Tianchen Continent, while your uncle was slightly inferior."
"Fortunately, both he and I survived that catastrophe." The gentleman did not elaborate on this, but just mentioned it lightly.
"But after the catastrophe, my cultivation was gone and I became a useless person. Xiao Gui had to take care of my food, clothing and daily life. As you know, Xiao Gui has always been very slow, which caused me to lose my temper with him all those years."
As Lu Xun listened, he couldn't help but think of Gui Bo's slow movements and the kind smile that slowly rose on his face.
The gentleman continued: "You should also know about what happened later."
"Your uncle started to tinker with an improved technique, and later on it became his own creation. The Five Elements Technique you practiced was created by your uncle. We are the only two in the world who practice this wonderful technique."
Hearing this, Lu Xun asked, "Sir, I dare to ask you a question. After your cultivation was completely dissipated, the ripples on your body..."
The master heard him hesitate and said directly: "It has not affected me, but the threshold of cultivation was very high before, and it is indeed difficult for me to cultivate again."
The master smiled carefreely and said, "Your uncle created the technique to deal with the catastrophe that might happen next. As for my brother who can't practice, it's just a side job."
Lu Xun listened to this but didn't take it seriously. In his opinion, it was true that his uncle wanted to change the cultivation world, but allowing the master to practice again must also be one of his motivations.
The gentleman continued, "Later, he actually created a martial arts method. It was then that I discovered that, in addition to tea-making and swordsmanship, your uncle's true talent was actually reflected here."
"Since then, I have started to practice again. The speed of practicing this technique is much slower than when I practiced it before. It took me many years to catch up with your uncle in terms of realm."
Lu Xun's mouth twitched slightly when he heard this.
Lu Xun knew how difficult it was to practice the Five Elements Kung Fu. How good was he at practicing it, to be able to catch up with his uncle after retraining?
Could it be that... my uncle-master is really a mess when it comes to cultivation?
The gentleman did not say much in this regard, but simply continued: "In the blink of an eye, I don't even remember how many years have passed. Slowly, my cultivation has not only returned to the original level, but has even made a little breakthrough."
Lu Xun: “…”
"In addition to realm, I have also made some gains in other aspects, which has made me stronger than before."
Lu Xun guessed that the so-called harvest should be the soaring pillar of energy from the gentleman!
There is definitely not only [Sword Luck] in there, there must be other things!
When all these are added together, plus the surging spiritual power of the Five Elements Kung Fu, how can it not be powerful?
The gentleman spoke up and continued, "At this time, I discussed it with your uncle and felt that the time had come. We can go down the mountain and try to change the world."
The tone was still very calm, but there was great power in the words!
At this point, the gentleman smiled again, as if he was recalling something:
"Xiao Wu, don't be fooled by the fact that the skills and techniques created by your uncle are mighty and domineering. In fact, he is a timid person and has a gentle temper. In his life, he has never fought with anyone except me."
"Therefore, he encountered too much trouble when promoting his improved martial arts."
Lu Xun could understand this point clearly.
The emergence and promotion of new things are bound to face many obstacles.
What's more, this thing can change the entire cultivation world!
You can imagine how difficult it is.
"Sir, what next?" Lu Xun asked at the right time.
A person who listens to a story must learn to say: "And then?"
The gentleman stood there and said calmly, "In this case, if he encounters a problem that he finds difficult, it is natural for me, his elder brother, to come forward and solve it."
The gentleman waved his hand and said:
"It's nothing, really. I just talked about reason with the cultivation community at that time."
