Chapter 63: The Venerable Xuantian (I)
The old man looked nearly eighty years old, with a weather-beaten face and two deep-set eyes, deep and bright, and he looked very divine.
His hair was long and looked snow-white, and even his eyebrows and mustache were white, just in time for the winter snow.
But his chest is still purple-red, and he looks radiant, and he doesn't look like an ordinary person at first glance.
But it's also said that how can the characters who appear from the book be ordinary people?
"Why did you come out of the book?" Although Ye Ling was shocked, he didn't directly ask the old man who he was, but asked him why he came out of the book.
The old man stared at Ye Ling quietly, as if he hadn't heard, and didn't answer Ye Ling's question.
"Have you been in the book all the time?" Seeing that the old man didn't speak, Ye Ling then asked.
"Five layers of qi training...... Your talent is very good, and the true qi in your body is also very strong. The white-haired old man nodded and spoke slowly.
"Senior, you haven't answered my question yet, why did you come out of the book?" Ye Ling asked lightly.
"Hehehe, why don't you ask me who I am?" said the old man with a smile.
Ye Ling let out an "oh" sound, and then said, "Then who are you, senior?"
The white-haired old man gently stroked his snow-white long beard and said, "I am Xuantian Venerable. ”
"Xuantian Venerable, what is that?" Ye Ling asked puzzled.
"Xuantian Venerable is not a thing!" The white-haired old man was very angry when he saw Ye Ling saying that he was something, but as soon as he finished saying this, he found that there were some problems with this sentence.
"Ahem, can you still listen to me, boy? Young people are so rude nowadays!" Xuantian Venerable coughed and said.
"The younger generation does not want to be disrespectful to the seniors, but they have never heard the names of the seniors. Ye Ling frowned, sorry to say.
"You...... It's also said, you ordinary people, how can you know me!"
Xuantian Venerable sighed deeply and then asked.
"Do you know the world of cultivators?"
"I haven't heard of it. ”
Ye Ling shook his head and said.
"These two books were given to me by a senior, and before that, I didn't know if the cultivators really existed. ”
Xuantian Venerable smiled kindly and said, "For ordinary people, cultivators don't exist in the first place. ”
"Although they yearn for immortality, they don't think that human beings can have that power, a power that is enough to defy the sky. ”
"Did the predecessors say that cultivators can really survive in the world for a long time? just like in the novel?" Ye Ling asked thoughtfully.
Ye Ling once read some Xiuzhen novels when he was idle and bored, but he always felt that novels are novels, and Xiuzhen and immortality are just stories, which are absolutely impossible for human beings to achieve.
"What kind of magic weapon is a novel, is it very strong?" asked Xuantian Venerable with a puzzled expression.
Ye Ling smiled slightly and explained: "Senior, a novel is not a magic weapon, but a kind of book that makes people feel very happy to read. ”
Venerable Xuantian suddenly let out an "oh" and said, "I see, it seems that many years have passed since this is my world......
But in fact, Xuantian Venerable didn't know what Ye Ling meant at all, but only had a general understanding that the novel was not a magic weapon, and it was not very strong.
"Senior, the world you live in? Are you a cultivator? Can a cultivator really live a long time?"
"Hehehe, of course you can live for a long time, and if you cultivate to the realm of Dacheng, you can ignore life and death, ignore all the rules in this world, and achieve eternal life. ”
Xuantian Venerable said proudly.
"I think that in the entire cultivation realm back then, there was no one who didn't know about my Xuantian Venerable!"
"Just ......"
Suddenly, Xuantian Venerable's eyes were a little dark, and he seemed to remember some bad past.
"Senior, what's wrong with you?" Ye Ling asked.
Venerable Xuantian sighed again and said, "It's nothing, it's just remembering some of the past." ”
"Three thousand years ago, I wanted to go through the ninety-nine heavenly tribulations and reach the Mahayana realm, but who knew that at the critical moment, I was framed by a traitor, so that I got to this point......
After experiencing the ninety-nine heavenly tribulations, you are about to reach the Mahayana realm?
Isn't that the Great Perfection of the Tribulation Realm?
Ye Ling's mouth opened wide in surprise, feeling very surprised, but he quickly adjusted his state.
"But senior, aren't you alive and well now?" Ye Ling asked.
"Live well...... Xuantian Venerable shook his head helplessly, and then said, "Young man, do you think I'm alive now?"
"Senior, isn't it?" Ye Ling asked.
"Three thousand years ago, I had fallen. Xuantian Venerable said lightly.
What the?
He died 3,000 years ago?
The one who is talking to me now is ......
Ghost!
All Ye Ling could think of was a ghost!
"Senior, do you mean that you are a ghost now?" Ye Ling asked in a whisper.
Although I used to hear people say that there were no ghosts in this world, but now the person in front of him kept saying that he had been dead for more than 3,000 years, and Ye Ling didn't know whether to believe it or not.
"Go, go, go, you're the ghost!" Xuantian Venerable said with a look of displeasure.
"Senior, you said that you were killed by traitors three thousand years ago, and the catastrophe failed and fell, so how did you get to the book?"
Xuantian Venerable snorted and said, "This is simple, before I die, I injected the last wisp of breath into the Suyu Sutra. ”
"So, after the fall, the soul sought my breath and entered the book. ”
"But senior, isn't the soul a ghost?"
"I said you kid is sick? You're a ghost, that's called a spirit, a spirit!"
Ye Ling shrugged his shoulders lightly and said, "Okay then." ”
"In this way, my spirit body slept in the Suyu Sutra for a full three thousand years, until a few days ago, a powerful True Qi awakened me. ”
"A powerful true qi......?
Ye Ling thought to himself, could it be that Xuantian senior was talking about the incident in the north of Yanjing City a week ago?
"Yes, that powerful true qi comes from you. ”
Xuantian Venerable said.
"Although you have only just entered the Qi cultivation period and are not considered a true cultivator, through my observations in the past few days, you do have a great talent for cultivating the truth. ”
"Senior, are you saying that you have been observing me for the past few days?" Ye Ling suddenly blushed and asked shyly.
Oh my God, could it be that he was even watching Ye Ling when he was taking a bath?
"What do you kid think? Don't worry, I didn't observe you when you took a shower, I'm not interested in men. ”
Ye Ling breathed a sigh of relief, but he suddenly felt that something was wrong.
How could Xuantian Venerable know what he was thinking?
"Don't be surprised, I'm just intervening in your state of mind, so I know what's going on in your heart. ”
"Well, that's okay, I said it. ”
"Don't you think it's strange?" Seeing Ye Ling's expression so indifferent, Xuantian Venerable asked.
"Since the senior is a cultivator and is so strong, I won't be surprised that no matter what you do, I won't be surprised. Ye Ling replied lightly.
Xuantian Venerable nodded lightly, "Hmm", and said, "Yes, he is indeed a malleable talent. ”
"Senior, can a cultivator really be able to walk through the void, and what kind of realm do you have to cultivate to be able to do it?" Ye Ling asked.
"Of course you can, it's okay in the early stage of the Yuan Infant, but as long as you reach the Great Perfection of the Jindan Stage, you can fly with luck. Xuantian Venerable thought that Ye Ling was trying to increase his movement speed, so he explained.
"Senior, I didn't learn this to go faster, I just had something to do, and it would be easier to pass through the Void. ”
"Oh, what is it that takes so much pain?"
"My parents were locked up by some villains, and I wanted to go to them, but I was afraid that those villains would jump off the wall and hurt them, so I thought of this solution. ”
"If I weren't in a spirit state, I might be able to do it, but now ...... I can't use my true qi anymore. ”
"Senior, I believe I can save them myself. ”
"I'm going to pass on what I've learned all my life to you, do you still call me senior?" asked Xuantian Venerable with a kind smile.
"Division...... Ye Ling thanked the master for being willing to take me as an apprentice. Ye Ling bowed and thanked him like in the TV series.
"You don't have to thank me, you should be thankful for yourself. Xuantian Venerable said.
"Thank me, why?" Ye Ling asked puzzled.
"Cultivating this requires the human body's own understanding, the strength of the true qi, and the purity of the true qi, so not everyone can become a cultivator. ”
Xuantian Venerable explained.
"The reason why I am willing to take you as an apprentice is also because you have these qualifications. ”
"In addition, it only took you one day for an ordinary person to master the use of True Qi and reach the fifth level of Qi training. ”
"Such a gifted person may still be the first one in the world of cultivators, so I want to see how far you can go. ”
"Also, if your True Qi is not strong enough, then my spirit will remain asleep and will not wake up at all. ”
"So there is a causal relationship between all these variables, and the same is true of the fate of you and my master and apprentice. ”
"Master, how long do you think it will take me to reach the early stage of the Yuan Infant?" Ye Ling frowned and asked.
He felt that his parents had been suffering in prison, and he felt very uncomfortable in his heart, and it had been more than three years, and it would be four years soon.
Ye Ling thought to himself, if you don't cultivate the truth, will there be a chance to rescue those people in the rivers and lakes I know, as well as the 100,000 soldiers in the north?
Of course, there is an opportunity, no matter how strong the Ye family and the Mo family are, they can't be stronger than those 100,000 soldiers.
But that would cause a lot of unnecessary casualties, and it might even force Ye Chengqi to jump off the wall in a hurry.
"Cultivating the truth depends on understanding and chance, and you can't be in a hurry, and as for how long it takes, it all depends on your creation. ”
