Chapter 226: Immortal Path Has Ruthlessness
The three of them returned to Leixiao Temple in Wujiashan, Qingxian County that day. After the Lu brothers learned that Wu Yan was already in the alchemy stage, they behaved more respectfully towards him and seemed submissive in everything, which made Wu Yan deeply distressed. After several verbal exchanges, Lu Xang'er finally proposed that he wanted to become Wu Yan's disciple and join the Dawn Sect.
Wu Yan also didn't expect that the Lu brothers would suddenly have such an idea. Regarding the Dawn Sect, he had indeed mentioned it to the two brothers, but Master Jin once revealed that the Dawn Sect must follow two principles when recruiting disciples, one must be a person of faith, and the other must be able to practice the Five Elements Kung Fu. . This is quite difficult.
In fact, with the qualifications of the Lu brothers, it is completely in line with the standards to join the Immortal Sword Sect or the Buddha Palace.
However, these are troubled times, and anyone with a heart can see that it is not a good thing to join these two major sects at this time. On the one hand, joining these sects may not necessarily lead to the inheritance of moral merit. This alone has stopped many casual cultivators; on the other hand, joining a sect at this moment will only lead to cannon fodder on the front line, which is worse than Hiding and cultivating slowly, even if the cultivation speed is a little slower, your life will not be wasted.
In today's world of immortal cultivation in the Great Zhou Dynasty, sects like the Dawn Sect that can still exist in the cracks are simply too rare. This is probably because the sect is hidden, the mountain-protecting forbidden method is powerful, and the disciples are not often in the world of immortality. Reveal your identity so that your reputation is not visible to the outside world. If you can join such a sect, it might not be a bad thing for casual cultivators. As for the inheritance of moral merit, every leader of a sect understands the key, and it is not difficult to think about it. However, for some unknown reason, Master Jin actually set up these two rules. The first one is better, but the second one is too harsh and a bit unhuman. This move even goes against the purpose of strengthening the Newspaper Faction.
Wu Yan thought for a moment and then said to the Lu brothers: "Brother Lu, this matter requires the approval of the master. Both of you are loyal people. There is no doubt about this. However, the master once said that I want to To join the Dawn Sect, you must practice the Five Elements Technique. The two Lu brothers do not practice the Five Elements Technique. Therefore, I cannot reply to you on this matter for the time being. However, I will try to ask my master if I have the opportunity. It's easy to do it. Even if I really can't accept you two into the Dawn Sect, I will make arrangements for you to enter the mountain gate of my Dawn Sect to practice. How about it?"
When the two heard this, their faces showed great joy. In fact, the two of them didn't have much hope in joining the Dawn Faction. The two of them had more or less understood the rules of the Dawn Sect from Wu Yan's words. The two of them said that the most important thing they wanted to do was to stay with Wu Yan to practice. After all, when casual cultivators like them reach the foundation-building stage, their cultivation techniques are missing, they encounter bottlenecks in their cultivation, and no one can ask for advice, their progress will naturally be horribly slow.
After appeasing the two of them, Wu Yan sent some elixirs to them, agreed on a contact method, and warned them to be more careful in the future.
After arranging these two people, Wu Yan immediately stood up, left Lei Xiaoguan and headed straight for Wujia Mountain City as everyone watched him respectfully.
With a sweep of his consciousness, Wu Yan had already determined the location of his parents and family. He immediately used an escape method. In a matter of tens of breaths, he covered a distance of several miles and landed in an inconspicuous house out of thin air. middle.
"Who!?" A shout suddenly sounded from the inner hall of the house, and three people rushed out in the blink of an eye.
Wu Yan smiled and nodded, secretly thinking, his reaction was really good, he could actually hear the golden elixir stage master approaching here at the first time. It seems that this martial arts path also has its own uniqueness. I just don’t know how far my second brother has cultivated.
"Brother! Why are you back?" The giant man in front was none other than Wu Shan. Although he has a body like an iron tower, he has Yinghua's restrained and calm demeanor. I haven't seen him in twenty years, and my brother is much more mature than before.
"Xiaoshan, you've done a good job in this kung fu. Master Lu, I haven't seen you for so many years, and it's really gratifying that you still have the same style. Brother Zhang, why are you here too?" Wu Yan smiled and greeted the three old acquaintances in front of him one by one. .
The faces of the three of them showed surprise at the same time, but Lu Xuanyu was already over sixty years old at this time. Although he had practiced kung fu to the point where his strength was as strong as the void, time was not forgiving, and his gray hair still showed his age. On the other hand, Zhang Tao and Wu Shan, although they are middle-aged, have become more and more dignified, dignified and have the demeanor of great martial arts masters.
Wu Shan and Zhang Tao both rushed up, one of them grabbed Wu Yan's arm, and immediately and affectionately dragged him into the inner hall without any explanation. Wu Shan gave instructions not to disturb anyone and asked his eldest brother to take a seat.
Wu Yan shook his head and said: "Xiaoshan, let's not talk in a hurry. I just came back and haven't seen my parents yet. I just took a quick look on the mountain and saw that my two elders were in good health, and I was very happy. , It’s just that I haven’t seen the two elders for many years, and I feel very uneasy. It won’t be too late for us brothers to talk to each other again when I go to visit my parents.”
The three of them nodded at the same time, and without saying much, Wu Yan walked through the middle hall and went straight to the back hall. The two elders seemed to have sensed something. Surrounded by the maids and servants, they walked out of the back hall and stood in the backyard asking the steward who was waiting in the middle hall.
"Father, mother! The unfilial son is back!" Wu Yan was in an excited mood. Even though he had been practicing for more than 20 years, his heart was as stone as stone. But when he saw the two elders in the court, he still couldn't suppress his admiration. He rushed up to him and knelt down. He fell down in front of his two elders, buried his head in his parents' arms, and choked with tears.
Old Man Wu and Old Lady Wu each stretched out a hand, stroking Wu Yan's neck, tears streaming down their faces. The maids and servants who were waiting beside them also wiped their tears, but they all dispersed automatically when Old Man Wu waved his hand.
Old Man Wu and his wife helped Wu Yan to stand up, and Wu Yan helped the two elders into the back hall, one on each side. Old Man Wu's room still retained the big kang that the Wu family slept on when they were poor. The three of them sat cross-legged on the kang and talked about family life. This lasted for several hours.
That night, Wu Shan specially called the whole family back and set up a family dinner in the back hall. The family was happy and celebrated Wu Yan's return.
The two elders had never been as happy as they were today, and they ate until midnight before they dispersed. That night, Wu Yan stayed in the ear room next to the two elders' room in the back hall at their insistence.
After comforting the two elders to sleep, Wu Yan returned to his room and sat cross-legged on the kang bed. He was in a bad mood for a long time, and his face was full of sorrow.
My parents were in their sixties. Although they often took the elixir they prepared for ordinary people, some old diseases accumulated due to overwork in their early years had long become stubborn diseases and could not be cured. Now Wu Yan, who has successfully formed the elixir, vaguely found through his spiritual eyes that there was a faint gray gas around the two elders. This is clearly a sign that their lifespan is about to end.
Although he knew that this was a situation that he would face sooner or later, Wu Yan still felt uncomfortable.
"Does the Great Dao really need to cut off all emotions to cultivate? Do I, Wu Yan, really have to watch my parents die in front of me, but I can't do anything? I feel incompetent when I am in a dilemma. What kind of immortal way am I cultivating?"
