Chapter 185: The Twelve Realms
Hearing this, Wei Lai, who realized that he would be wrong, smiled a little helplessly.
And the conversation after that became a little boring with such a misunderstanding, Wei Lai dealt with it hastily a few times, Xu Yue was not good at words, seeing that Wei Lai had no thoughts, he left alone after a few words.
Wei Lai was the only one left in the huge door.
The young man looked at the candle flame in front of him with a calm brow, and his mind kept spinning back to the previous conversation with Xu Yue.
Demons?
Karmic results?
Lu Yan'er?
Fictitious?
These thoughts flashed through his mind one by one, and he couldn't grasp the clue, but it was undeniable that after today's conversation, the thoughts that he had previously determined in his mind had been slightly shaken at this moment.
He sat there alone, thinking about what he didn't have, his thoughts wandering.
In the end, Wei Lai simply entered the state of the body that fits the heavens and the earth, and while swallowing spiritual power to practice, he secretly used his divine sense to probe the situation in his body, wanting to find the so-called inner demon.
For most cultivators, inner demons are a taboo term.
Not every cultivator will encounter such a thing, but once encountered, it will become the biggest obstacle for the cultivator, in a sense, it is more difficult to defeat the inner demon than to break through the Seven Realms and ascend to the Eight Great Sages Realm.
Legend has it that the evil sects in southern Xinjiang were rampant, and most of the demonic skills they practiced were extremely vicious, but at the same time, the speed of improvement brought to their cultivation was also incomparable to ordinary people. For example, there was once a Southern Xinjiang Demon Sect called the Crescent Moon Gate, and the exercises practiced in the door were to raise countless fierce spirits in the extreme yin land, and feed them with flesh and blood every day. Every time the new moon rises and the yin qi is in full bloom, the disciples in the sect will swallow the yin qi emitted by the fierce spirits at this time, so as to improve their cultivation.
It is said that in this sect, even a monk with mediocre talent only needs three or four years to break through from no foundation to the four realms. You must know that this kind of cultivation speed may not be comparable even to some holy sons of the Divine Sect......
There are countless demon sects like this in the heyday of Southern Xinjiang, and according to this cultivation speed, it stands to reason that Southern Xinjiang should have been full of the Eight Great Sages. However, in fact, although the number of monks in the Sixth and Seventh Realms in Southern Xinjiang is much higher than that in the Northern Realm, the number of true Eight Great Sages is not far from that in the Northern Realm.
And the biggest reason for this is the demons.
Most people in this world are difficult to keep their minds clear after killing so many people or being eroded by yin qi, and if there really is, then such a person has such a tenacious heart, whether it is an evil demon or a decent exercise, they can have a good achievement.
And for ordinary people, being infested by the evil spirits of yin for a long time will inevitably give birth to demons, and once the demons come out, not only is it difficult to cultivate, but at the same time, in serious cases, there will even be people who are tempted by the demons to make such a terrible act as self-judgment.
For ordinary people, the Demon Gate Exercise is like a double-edged sword, although it can allow their cultivation to improve quickly, but at the same time, it will also breed demons in their hearts, so if they want to ascend to the Holy Realm, it has become an unattainable thing.
Wei Lai sat cross-legged on the ground, his divine consciousness roaming in his body, but he couldn't find the slightest trace of the so-called inner demon.
That thing was already ethereal, few monks were able to discover its existence by themselves, most of them relied on others to order, Wei Lai also knew that if he really gave birth to such a thing, it would be difficult to find it in a while, but he was not anxious about it.
In this way, after a night in a daze, Wei Lai opened his eyes at dawn, and woke up from the state of the body that fits the world and the world, he moved his body for a while, only to feel refreshed, after a night of practice, the spiritual power in his body was full, and the so-called inner demons did not appear to disturb his mind, but he thought about it all night, a little troublesome.
Yesterday's turmoil collapsed the inn where they had lived before, and the magistrate of Changtian City came in person, and after knowing the identity of their group, he sent someone to pay compensation to the innkeeper, and respectfully led everyone to his mansion to stay. In order to make enough room, the county magistrate's family moved out.
When Wei Lai walked out of the door and came to the hall, everyone was already waiting in the hall, and when Wei Lai appeared, nearly half of the group gathered around to ask Wei Lai's condition, including the eldest princess of Da Chu, and Zhao Tianyan, who was injured by Wei Lai yesterday. Zhou Xuan, who was in such a situation, was very unhappy, and secretly indignant how could this Wei Lai, how could the eldest princess look at such a barbarian, and what was the matter with that master disciple of the Boundless Academy, who was beaten unconscious, and used his hot face to stick to his cold ass.
However, although Zhou Xuan was dissatisfied, after yesterday's events, he had learned a lot, but he just suppressed such resentment in his heart, and no longer dared to show the slightest hint of it, let alone find trouble with Wei Lai.
[ ]......
"Ah Lai, thirty miles ahead of you will reach the Boundless Academy. ”
"Boundless Academy is the largest academy in the entire northern realm, even the Qingying Academy is much worse than our Boundless Academy. ”
"Of course, this can't be said that the Qingying Academy is really much worse than the Boundless Academy, in the words of my master, although there is a gap between the two colleges, but fundamentally speaking, it is just a different way of pursuing Confucianism and Taoism, so there is a difference, in fact, in my master's heart, I respect the Confucianism and Taoism of the Qingyin Academy Palace even more. It's just that for some reason, since about forty or fifty years ago, the Qing Ying Academy Palace has been declining all the way, from the name of the top three Divine Sects in the Northern Realm that was once tied with the Boundless Academy, and has fallen to the seventh, and some people even assert that within ten years, the Qing Ying Academy Palace will fall out of the top ten Divine Sects. ”
After the group went on the road, Zhao Tianyan sat next to Wei Lai and introduced the situation of Boundless Academy to Wei Lai very warmly, and never mentioned anything about what happened yesterday.
Wei Lai knew that he was thinking about his gaffe yesterday, and he didn't want to mention it and embarrass himself.
is extremely careful, but it is quite a bit of a brother who gets along with Wei Lai day and night.
Wei Lai secretly thought that Zhao Tianyan in his memory had almost no intersection with him, although he had a very good reputation, he often helped the people in difficult situations in Wupan City. But if it weren't for the shallow friendship, I wouldn't be so careful, and at the same time be so tolerant of Wei Lai.
Even if that bizarre method can really change cause and effect and tamper with memory, can it also change one person's attitude towards another person so much?
Wei Lai couldn't help but think secretly in his heart, and at the same time, what Zhao Tianyan had just said flashed in his mind, he looked at Zhao Tianyan and asked, "Brother Zhao said that the Qingying Academy has been declining all the way over the years, so what is the reason?"
He remembered the picture that flashed in his mind before, about Wei Zhen, Wei Jinxiu and Lu Changshou, it seemed that their fates were all related to the Qingying Academy, and when he heard Zhao Tianyan talk about this, Wei Lai subconsciously asked this question.
Zhao Tianyan smiled when he heard this, and said, "Although the Qingying Academy and the Boundless Academy are both places of study. But there is a fundamental difference between the two, the Qingming School Palace pays attention to the application of learning, whether it is the school palace itself, or the scholars who are studying, the final way out is mostly to become officials. This is the case with Mr. Jiangzhou Mu and Mr. Lu. ”
"Although there are many outstanding students in the Boundless Academy, more of them choose to stay in the Boundless Academy, meditating on Confucianism and Taoism, in order to ascend to the realm of the Great Sage. ”
"As for why the Qingying Academy Palace is weak...... Some people say that it is the Confucian scholar of the Qingyin Academy, and the court is an official, so it is inevitable to be in charge of life and death, and even hold the military power, under the life and death, the corpses are all over the field, and there are countless karmic fruits. ”
But this statement is too mysterious, Ah Lai just thinks he is laughing. ”
When Wei Lai heard this, he nodded, but he didn't care.
If you want to talk about karmic results, how can there be a lot of Great Chu Dynasty in this world? The Great Chu Dynasty has not been counterattacked by the so-called Heavenly Dao, and where is the turn to get a school palace, what is the inside story of this, it is estimated that you still have to wait until you go to the Qingying School Palace and see it with your own eyes to know.
"Oh, and this. Zhao Tianyan seemed to suddenly think of something at that time, and suddenly took out a piece of letter paper from his arms and handed it to Wei Lai.
Wei Lai was puzzled by this object, unfolded it in front of his eyes, and looked at it fixedly, but saw that many names and addresses were densely written on the letterhead.
"This is?" Wei Lai asked as he looked at Zhao Tianyan suspiciously.
"Didn't you say that the girl named Lu Yan'er came to this Boundless Academy with me? I inquired with my fellow disciples, and the students who came to this Boundless Academy in the same batch as me, among them, the girls were all arranged in these residences, and there may be some clues. ”
"Well, and then there is the school when they entered the enlightenment, and I also listed it, but you said that her talent should no longer be below me, then I think that after half a year, she should be under the door of a certain gentleman like me, and the name of the person after that is the name of the gentleman who has been interested in entering the closed disciple for a few years. But these gentlemen, you know, are highly respected, and some of them inevitably have strange tempers......"
"After returning to the academy, I have to meet the master first, you can investigate those residences first, but after all, they are all girls' residences, there is some inconvenience, I will arrange for the junior brother to accompany you at that time, I think as long as I explain my intentions, most people will give me this face." As for those gentlemen, after I have met the master, I will try my best to lobby, Ah Lai, you should not be anxious, it is not a good thing to anger those gentlemen. It doesn't do you any good in this matter. ”
Zhao Tianyan said earnestly, and the concern in his tone was even more undisguised.
When Wei Lai heard this, he couldn't help but feel shocked, and his gaze at Zhao Tianyan became a little moved.
Zhao Tianyan felt this, he shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't know if it's me who has a problem, or if you have a problem." ”
"But I remember what you looked like yesterday, you said that you and Mr. Lu trusted me to hand over that girl to me, so that she was relieved to come to this boundless academy with me. ”
"I was thinking, if all this you said was true, if there really was a girl who trusted me so much, and I lost her, it would be hard for me. I want to accompany you to find it, if you find it, it will naturally make up for my mistakes, but if you can't find it...... I will also ask Master Venerable to find a way to clear the demon barrier for you......"
Wei Lai could clearly feel that when he said this, Zhao Tianyan was sincere, perhaps in his heart, the possibility of Wei Lai's demons being haunted was far greater than that of Lu Yan'er, but he was willing to make so many efforts because of Wei Lai's ambiguous memory, and this friendship was worthy of Wei Lai's good treatment.
Thinking of this, Wei Lai put away the letterhead, then looked at Zhao Tianyan and bowed respectfully to him, and said, "Thank you, Brother Zhao." ”
Zhao Tianyan waved his hand and smiled, and said, "Between brothers, how can you say thank you." ”
......
Dayan, Tailin City.
In the Fenglai Pavilion of Longxiang Palace, a woman in a red light veil suddenly opened her eyes from her sleep, she sat up, and a man over sixty years old beside her was sleeping soundly.
The woman got up in a hurry, the tulle on her body slipped off, and the spring was shining, but it was a pity that the only man in the Fenglai Pavilion who was lucky enough to see such a scenery was sleeping soundly.
Suddenly, the space in front of the woman's eyes was distorted, and a figure slowly emerged, the figure was still a little shaky, and it seemed to be just a phantom projected from somewhere.
"Master. When she saw the other party's appearance clearly, the woman hurriedly bowed respectfully to the phantom.
The phantom bowed slightly, and the next moment he said in a deep voice: "He has arrived." ”
"Huh?" The woman was stunned for a moment, but the next moment she reacted: "Does Shizun want me to make a move?"
"Joy that kid seems to have something else on her mind lately, are you sure you can still command her?" asked the Phantom.
The woman smiled charmingly, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, leaned forward slightly, and the naked scenery was a little more: "She is just a puppet of the disciple, as long as the disciple is willing, she can't help herself." ”
The phantom frowned slightly, and said, "Your mind is really vicious......
The woman didn't seem to be able to hear the dissatisfaction in the phantom's tone, but said proudly: "If you can do things for the master, Yun'er is willing to do anything." ”
The phantom didn't pay attention to it, he said in a deep voice: "Don't act rashly first, after so many years of planning, I finally waited until today, I have to go step by step, look at it step by step, and don't let him make any mistakes." ”
The woman bowed her head: "Yes." ”
Hearing this response, the phantom said: "I have opened the ninth divine gate three days ago, and then I will continue to retreat, before that event comes, the time to reach the twelve realms is urgent, if you have nothing to do, don't come to me again, and if anything happens, I will contact you as soon as possible." ”
The phantom said this, and did not give the woman half time to react, and disappeared in a blink of an eye, and the huge Fenglai Pavilion fell into darkness and silence in a blink of an eye, only the snoring of the man next to him was still resounding.
The woman gritted her teeth and looked at her bare body, and slammed the bed hard.
Said to himself sadly: "I have done so much for you, why don't you want to look at me directly!!"
