Chapter 7: A master, a lifetime with you
Sitting in the carriage back to the city, He Xuansheng thought back to what had happened in the past two days, and at the same time squinted at Shangguan beside him from time to time. He Xuansheng himself didn't expect that he would solve the problem that made his father have a headache when he went out this time.
"Look, are you willing to apprentice?" Shangguan scolded with a smile.
"Yes, willing!" He Xuansheng dared to let go of the duck in his mouth, and hurriedly agreed: "That, can you take off your cloak and let me see your true face?" He Xuansheng remembered something again and asked carefully.
"What, you're afraid that I'll be too ugly and lose your face?"
"No, no, but you think, if someone impersonates you in the future, how can I know if it's you if I don't know your face?"
Shangguan was stunned by He Xuansheng's logic, and finally said helplessly: "You can only watch it once, and you can't tell others!" As he spoke, he stretched out his hands and gently lifted the black cloak, and what caught his eye was a handsome face, about thirty years old, with skin that was neither black nor white, a head of white hair that was scattered to his shoulders, and a pair of cyan eyes that made it a little softer.
He Xuansheng was secretly taken aback, the middle-aged man in front of him clearly had a face that was enough to make thousands of girls crazy, but why did he wear a cloak? Shangguan seemed to see He Xuansheng's doubts, and said softly: "This cloak is only used to hide his identity. He didn't want He Xuansheng to look at his face, but when He Xuansheng raised doubts, he thought that there should be less estrangement between the master and apprentice, and the three elders specially let a carriage for them, so he simply took off his cloak to fulfill He Xuansheng's small wish.
"Okay, don't ask about the rest. Shangguan Zhong brought back the cloak and continued, "How much do you know about the entire human world?"
He Xuansheng shook his head blankly, indeed, a child often only has the opportunity to come into contact with these after awakening the attribute at the age of eight.
Shangguan smiled and said, "There are a total of two continents in our human realm, one of which is called the Savage Ancient Domain, you are still young, and there is no need to know anything about this continent, and the other continent is the Spiritual Qi Continent where we are now. Two thousand years ago, ten huge gates of light quietly rose from ten different directions, and since then, some demons have come out of the gates of light one after another. People couldn't close the door even if they tried their best, so they set up ten clan-centered sects near the ten light gates to guard them, and these ten sects are what people often call the Ten Guardian Soul Families now. At the age of eight, everyone performs a ritual called attribute awakening, which is to make everyone understand their attributes. In the same way, the attributes of the ten schools are generally in the same lineage. The two families in the center are the Wenjia family at Gate No. 2 in the north, hexagram Yang, which belongs to space; the No. 1 gate in the south, Yanjia, hexagram Yin, belongs to time; Gate No. 9 in the north is Xujia, hexagram Kun, and belongs to the territory; Gate No. 8 in the northeast wind, Sujia, hexagram Zhen, belongs to Lei; Gate No. 10 in the southwest, Roujia, hexagram Xun, belongs to the wind; Gate No. 6 in the northwest, Hexagram Gen belongs to the mountain; Gate No. 5 in the east, Youjia, hexagram belongs to the swamp; Gate No. 3 in the east, Kaiyangjia, hexagram belongs to fire; Gate No. 4 in the west, Luoyangjia, hexagram Kan belongs to water. ”
Shangguan paused, took a sip of tea, looked at He Xuansheng with a smile, and said, "Do you know what another one is?"
He Xuansheng shook his head blankly, to be honest, these things were his first contact, and they sounded somewhat vague at the moment, so he could only forcibly memorize them first and then digest them slowly.
Shangguan tapped He Xuansheng's head and said, "Really, don't you even know your own family, the seventh gate of the soul protector in the south, the hexagram belongs to the sky, the He family!"
He Xuansheng was stunned, and called out as if he had suddenly woken up: "It turns out that our He family is so important?"
Shangguan shook his head helplessly, I don't know how many people in today's society want to enter the Ten Families, because the Ten Families represent a kind of strength and an honor. But who would have thought that the young master of the He family didn't know the horror of his family at all.
Shangguan then preached, "A person can start cultivating after practicing the exercises at the age of eight. As his cultivation increases, his strength will continue to increase. In order to divide it clearly, the mainland unified the spiritual power into ten levels, which are the lowest one spirit realm, the second spirit realm, the third spirit spirit realm, the fourth soul realm, the fifth spirit sect realm, the sixth spirit emperor realm, the seventh spirit holy realm, the eighth spirit spirit realm, the ninth spirit spirit realm, and the tenth immortal spirit realm. Each of the two realms is divided into ten realms. Of course, before the first turn, it was also necessary to cultivate the initial ten-turn spiritual power, and it was not until the tenth turn that it broke through to the first-turn. Like you are now, it is probably the level of the second turn of spiritual power. ”
"What about Brother Tian Hui?" He Xuansheng asked with a happy face and a little curiosity.
"Tian Hui?" Shangguan was stunned for a moment, and said, "Oh, that guard, it's probably like a double seven or eight turns." ”
"Due is so powerful, I will definitely become such a strong person in the future!"
Shangguan tapped He Xuansheng's head and said, "People must not be without ambitions. Many people have limited talents, and their cultivation to the second or third level is probably already at the extreme. And the fourth to sixth layers are the mainstay of some big families, and when it comes to the seventh or eighth level, it is really worthy of competition among major families, as for the ninth level, it is probably the strength that only the heads of some big families or the elders of the Taishang can have. As for the tenth, it has not appeared for thousands of years. Your father is probably the strength of the Ninefold Fourth Revolution, and he is also the top powerhouse on the continent who dominates the side. ”
He Xuansheng was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth. His father has always been an ordinary person in front of him, except for the occasional hint of domineering of the superior, to be honest, he is no different from an ordinary person.
"What about you, master?" He Xuansheng asked tentatively.
"Me?" Shangguan was stunned for a moment, and said softly, "I'm just an ordinary person, so I'm lucky to reach about the fifth level." ”
He Xuansheng nodded thoughtfully, and asked again: "Master, what are your attributes?" Shangguan was stunned, with a little nonsense: "I'm just a child born in an ordinary family, and my attributes are also the most ordinary, so don't ask." ”
Shangguan paused and continued: "It is very important for a person to hide his strength. Without professional training, all the soul guards who have gone to the fifth level can see at a glance the spiritual power and level of the opponent who is weaker than themselves. So the first thing I'm going to teach you is how to hide your spiritual power fluctuations.
As soon as He Xuansheng heard that he was going to learn something, his little face immediately tensed, and he looked nervously at the Shangguan in front of him.
Shangguan glanced at He Xuansheng and said seriously: "First of all, hold your breath and concentrate, take a deep breath, sink your dantian, relax, okay, hold on." ”
He Xuansheng did it several times in a row according to Shangguan's instructions, but he didn't find any changes, so he asked tentatively, "Master, can this really hide strength?"
"Nope. Shangguan shook his head and said, "This can only help you when you want to fart but can't." ”
He Xuansheng looked at Shangguan blankly, causing Shangguan to laugh out loud and said, "Don't be so nervous, I won't eat you again." ”
He Xuansheng looked at Shangguan speechlessly, he couldn't imagine why such a big person could still tell jokes seriously. Shangguan looked at He Xuansheng's speechless eyes, chuckled, and said, "Okay, okay, it's the same." Hold your breath and concentrate on it, and naturally disperse the spiritual power of your whole body, so that you can hide your spiritual power. Well, give it a try. ”
He Xuansheng did so, and sure enough, when he completed the consequences, he really found that the spiritual power fluctuations in his body had faded a lot. Shangguan felt the changes in the spiritual power in He Xuansheng's body, and couldn't help but be secretly taken aback. Although this technique is not difficult, it is still difficult to succeed in the first time. Thinking of this, the smile on Shangguan's face became a little thicker. It's a pity that He Xuansheng didn't notice that his master's smile was a bit captivating.
Shangguan thought for a moment and patted He Xuansheng's head and said, "Hey boy, have you ever been exposed to magic techniques?"
He Xuansheng was in pain, holding his head in both hands, turned around and said to Shangguan with a resentful face: "Don't call me a boy, my name is He Xuansheng, and I also have a name!"
Shangguan let out a little laugh when he heard this, and said, "Okay, Xuansheng, do you have magic skills?"
He Xuansheng shook his head and looked at Shangguan with blank eyes. Shangguan smiled helplessly and said, "Magic techniques are different from exercises, there can only be one kind of exercise in this life, but magic techniques are ever-changing. Similarly, magic techniques also have a level classification, and they are divided into the five orders of the mortal emperor saint immortal god like the exercises, so let's give you a mortal-level magic skill to practice and play with first. ”
Shangguan's right index finger tapped the center of his eyebrows, and a brown scroll slowly appeared in front of He Xuansheng's eyes. He Xuansheng took the scroll, and Shangguan's voice came softly: "Magic skills are also divided into attributes, and a magic skill of one attribute can only be effective if the cultivation of the soul keeper with the corresponding attribute is cultivated." But at the same time, there are also non-attributes in the exercises. That is, a soul protector of any attribute can cultivate. This volume is a volume of non-attribute mortal-level intermediate magic skills-black rune seals. Although this magic technique is intermediate in the mortal rank, this is only the power of a rune, and no one knows how many runes a person can cultivate. But the combination of the two seals is by no means as simple as one plus one. It's not difficult to cultivate the first sigil, it's already explained in detail on this scroll, so you can slowly realize it when you go home. ”
Shangguan took a sip of tea and continued, "After talking about the human realm, let's talk about the demon realm." Three thousand years ago, the demon world forcibly connected to the human world, and then began to constantly intrude on our human world. However, we are not yet able to lead to the Demon Realm through these passages, so at that time, in order to better resist the demons, people set up ten spirit guardians next to the ten passages. There are also strength stratifications in the demon race, the lowest is the warrior rank demon clan, followed by the general rank, the king rank and the emperor rank, as for the holy rank demon clan, it probably has the strength of nine folds, nine turns, or even ten folds. ”
He Xuansheng looked at Shangguan with a shocked face and said, "How many holy level existences does the demon clan have now?"
Shangguan glanced at him and said softly, "No." ”
He Xuansheng sighed lightly, but then Shangguan's voice came again: "At this stage, the Demon Clan has three quasi-Saint-level Demon Venerables, that is, they exist between the Emperor Rank and the Holy Rank, and there are also no less than thirty Demon Emperors. ”
"Then how many ninefold or tenfold powerhouses are there in the human race?"
"Toju, no. The powerhouses above the nine-fold and five-turn, according to regular statistics, are only about twelve!"
