It's just that I am depressed because the books Master gave me included philosophy, medicine, astronomy, mathematics, hexagrams, and so on, but there were no books about the geography, humanities, and history of the world. For this reason, I went to the Master.

"As a teacher, why do you want those books if you are not a historian?" said the master leisurely.

"But shouldn't we read history to learn from history?" I asked unwillingly.

The master said, "The book that the master gave you contains the Heavenly Dao and the Truth, and you still need to see a few examples?"

I argued, "Then I'm still curious about the world outside the valley, I always want to know what the outside world is like, right? Why don't you tell your disciples?" ”

The master said, "I want to know what the outside world is like, and when you get out of the valley, wouldn't it be better to go and see for yourself?" ”

The master looked at me and continued, "Okay, since you want to hear about the teacher, I'll talk to you. There are four main continents under this sky, the continent where we are located is called the Central Continent, the east is called the East Continent, the west is called the West Continent, and the south is called the South Continent. The states are separated by thousands of miles by the sea, and the three continents have never been to them, and it is said that each state is quite wonderful. ”

"As for the Central Continent where we are located, there were mainly six countries before entering the valley for the teacher, which are called Yanyun, Cangqi, Dayu, Xialan, Wu, and Chu. There are also seven more conspicuous sects, namely the Shenxiao School, Faleng Temple, Qianjimen, Taiyue School, Jingyue Dream Palace, Qianyuan Sect, and Qingling School. After the master finished speaking, he picked up the teacup and drank the tea.

As I was listening, Master suddenly stopped talking, and I asked, "Master, what about the area, population, and customs of each country? What about the characteristics of the exercises practiced by each sect and the strength of the disciples under them? Even if Master, you will let me go out of the valley one day, should I know more about the outside situation before leaving the valley? Aren't you afraid that your only personal disciple will suffer losses after leaving the valley?" "I, the master, are really sometimes more casual than me, and I don't know which of us is with whom.

"It's still too early for you to get out of the valley. Even if you go out of the valley as a teacher, I believe that you are so smart, and nothing will happen to you, and when you finish learning all the skills that you will be taught as a teacher, you will definitely have no problem after leaving the valley. Cough. Cough. Okay, I'm tired of being a teacher, so let's go play by myself. Master's face suddenly turned a little bad.

I hurriedly stepped forward to help him pat him on the back and asked worriedly, "Are you feeling better?" Master. What kind of illness do you have?" What worries me the most during these days is that Master has been sick, but he has never said why.

Master said, "Alas... You know it's useless, go ahead. For the teacher, there should be a rest meeting. ”

In the blink of an eye, a few months have passed, and I can finally convert the aura in my body into thunder and lightning qi completely according to my own will, and I can move smoothly in my body according to the meridians of the exercises I have learned. If I had to say that my initial feeling was that there was an obvious electric current in my body, I was afraid that this current would not break me.

Later, I found out that I was completely blind and worried, and the state of existence of the energy in this world, the manifestation of energy was completely different from what I remembered. Of course, it may also be because I don't know enough about the world in my memory and the world I'm in now, so I haven't found an intrinsic connection between the two energy uses.

I have rarely played around in the valley in the past few months, and as soon as I finished practicing, I began to study the book on medicine that Master had given me. It's useless to tell me to tell me! I'll go, I can't cure you now, I won't be able to cure you in the future? How old am I now?

"I didn't expect that you really have a talent for martial arts, and in just a few months, you should have been preliminarily trained to the first level of the Earthquake Firmament. After inspecting my homework, the master said approvingly, "Apprentice, you tell the truth to the master, are you eager to practice martial arts?"

"It's okay, Master. I don't think I've aspired to the point where I want to be invincible. Master, why did you suddenly ask this?" I don't know what Master is going to do.

"You are a rare good seedling who practices martial arts, and the teacher is a warlock, and the teacher rarely fights with people in his life. Therefore, if you like to practice martial arts very much, the teacher can send you out of the valley to help you find others to learn martial arts. It's not that Master and I don't teach you the exercises well, but that the master lacks the heart of a warrior as a warlock. ”

I said, "Master, what are you talking about?!, you took me in and worked tirelessly to raise me, how could I learn martial arts from others? ”

The master smiled and said, "Hahaha! Then you should be your little Taoist first, and if you change your mind, you can always be the same teacher." ”

"It's just that, before that, Master, you have to answer a few questions from the apprentice today, the apprentice doesn't want to always see you seriously ill but can't do anything, the apprentice wants to do something I can for you, Master. I said respectfully to the master.

Master pondered for a moment and said, "Well, Master Wei knows that you have been studying books on medical Taoism for the past few months. You ask. ”

I asked solemnly, "Master, I want to know what kind of illness you have this year?"

The master smiled and said: "Hehe, the teacher is one hundred and seventy-six years old this year, and the teacher is not sick, to be precise, the reason why the teacher is so weak is because of heavenly punishment." ”

I always thought that Master was only eighty or ninety years old! I hurriedly said, "Master, the apprentice seems to have lost his mind just now and didn't hear clearly, did you say that you were seventy-six years old?"

The master smiled and said, "Hehehe, what's the matter? Is it very unexpected? You heard it right, it's one hundred and seventy-six years old." Whether it is practicing martial arts or other practices, it is all about cultivating the aura of heaven and earth into the body. With the deepening of cultivation, especially after reaching a certain realm, one's own lifespan will far exceed that of ordinary people. If there are no accidents, the lifespan of a cultivator will increase to more than three hundred years, and even more to four or five hundred years old. However, in fact, there are very few people in this world who can live to be two or three hundred years old. ”

I then asked, "Then Master, what is the heavenly punishment you just mentioned? It sounds quite powerful." ”

The master said casually: "Of course it is powerful, the punishment imposed by the Heavenly Dao on those who peep into the Heavenly Dao, leak the Heavenly Secrets, tamper with the fixed number, and do many evils, slaughter living beings, and go against the Heavens, is usually based on the rain of heavenly thunder. As a teacher, he has been punished by heaven many times for peeping into the way of heaven, leaking heavenly secrets, and tampering with fixed numbers. ”

The master took a sip of his medicinal tea and continued, "Do you know how the master created this Earthquake Decision? I dare not say anything else for the teacher, but I dare to say that there is no one in this world who has been punished by heaven more than for the teacher, and is still alive. ”

Damn! I was thundered by this old man, and I was so proud to be struck by lightning?!, "Then Master, can there be a cure for the injuries left by your heavenly punishment?"

Master sighed and said, "Alas. That's why I don't want to talk to you about this too early. ”

"Since it is called heavenly punishment, it is incurable. If you want to be a good warlock, you naturally have to comprehend the way of heaven and peep into the heavens, but once you peep too much into the heavens, you will incur heavenly punishment, which is a contradiction in itself. Therefore, the teacher did not directly teach you the highest means of being a teacher, the Heaven Seeping Technique, but first let you cultivate the Earthquake Determination. Zhencang was created for the teacher to deal with the punishment of heaven, but it was too late for the teacher. ”

Master looked at me kindly and continued, "As far as you are concerned, you don't need to worry too much, and the damage of Heavenly Punishment will be reduced a lot for you after practicing the Earthquake Determination. And when you learn the art of voyeurism as a teacher, you will have a clear sense of danger before you encounter any danger, or retreat from it, or prepare in advance, it's all up to you. This is also the reason why the teacher is relieved of your safety after going down the mountain. ”

Alas... I said a lot of bitter words, as if I was afraid that I would be scared away by this punishment. Still respectful, I said, "I understand, Master. I will definitely cultivate the Heaven-Shaking Determination diligently, and then work hard to learn the Heaven Voyeur Technique when the time is ripe. ”

Master took out a bottle of medicine and handed it to me and said, "Also, from tomorrow onwards, every three days, the Master will let you soak your body in the elixir to help you cultivate." There are seven pills here, take one pill every day at noon for cultivation, and come to me after eating the seven, remember?"

I took the medicine bottle and said, "Yes, Master, disciple remembers. ”
