"Good evening, young man!"

The shadows in the corner fluctuated, like layers of water ripples, and then came a Caucasian old man with a full beard, who was the one he met during the day.

Speaking in pure Gallic language, he first greeted Gu Yu, and then smiled at Andrea: "How are you, beautiful little girl." ”

"Hello, Your Excellency!"

Andrea was also fluent in Gallic and waved her hand to others.

"I'm sorry, can you think about this?" Gu Yu said helplessly.

"Hehe......"

The bearded man smiled, conjured a staff, recited a spell, and pointed at him.

Well?

Gu Yu felt a strange fluctuation that was not harmful, and his thoughts turned slightly, and he did not move. And with the staff a little, the effect suddenly came to life, and I immediately felt that I had a subtle connection with the other party.

"I'm sorry to start by saying yes, I did follow you, and you surprised me a lot. ”

Yo!

Lao Gu was interested, but the other party was still speaking Gallic language, but he could understand the meaning, as if the language was automatically converted, and he couldn't help asking: "What kind of spell is this?"

"A little communication skill is not worth mentioning. ”

The old man touched his beard and said with a smile: "Let me introduce myself, my name is Enes Maximi Leon." ”

He spat out a long list of names, of course Lao Gu had never heard of them, but Andrea looked surprised and excited, "Oh my God, you are Master Enes?" I can't believe it, oh, my name is Andrea, and I belong to the wizarding group of the Wika Sect. ”

"Wikaism? Well, not bad. ”

The old man nodded politely, obviously not taking her seriously, and said, "Young man, don't hide it, I have a private party tonight, and I'm thinking about whether to invite you...... But after watching the battle just now, hehe, you are qualified. ”

Shh

Gu Yu pouted secretly, this condescending sense of charity was too funny. He is now infinitely close to a human immortal, and his breath is retracted and released freely, if it is not for the same realm, he can't see his own details at all.

He wanted to hide it, and he wanted to find out, so he said, "May I ask what kind of meeting it is?"

"Don't worry, it's just a few of us old guys, just academic exchanges. ”

"Oh, that's good, it's better to be respectful than to obey. ”

Seeing Andrea beside him, he was eager to try, and said with a smile: "I am friends with this young lady, since we have met, can we go together?"

"Hehe, okay, come along. Enes glanced at the little girl and gave him a treat.

So, the old man led the way, and the three of them left the alley, walked a short distance, and stopped at a street corner. He took his staff, tapped the lamppost three times, and recited a string of strange phrases.

After a while, the sound of horses' hooves was heard, and a very retro medieval carriage ran out of the night. Pulling the cart were two black horses, tall and strong, with extremely beautiful lines, but their eyes were rigid and dull, not like living creatures.

"Magic golem, please get in the car. ”

Enes gave a brief explanation, and the three of them got into the car, and the horse's hooves clattered again, and they went straight to a village on the outskirts.

Gu Yu came out of the hotel, and in just two hours, he saw many strange mysterious powers. He became more and more curious, the Western world was more mixed, more scattered, and more factional than the East, but the overall inheritance system seemed to be more complete than that of the Xia Kingdom.

Since there was a distance to go, the three of them chatted casually, and he also figured out the general identities of the two.

Let's start with Andrea.

Founded 300 years ago, Wika Sect has developed a unique method of cultivation based on the ancient Tianzhu "qi" and primitive witchcraft to expand the physical body and consciousness.

It is more popular in Sam's Country and is officially recognized as a legal denomination. The organizational structure is that the supreme leader is a priestess, followed by a high-level, third-level, second-class, and first-degree shaman.

When you reach the level of a high-level wizard, you can go out on your own and create your own wizarding organization. The exclusive term for this organization is Coven, which is translated colloquially, as the group.

The teachings of Wicca are very positive, with the eight virtues of cheerfulness, respect, honor, humility, strength, beauty, power, and zeal at their core, as long as they do not harm others.

So they're also very accommodating, for example, very supportive of same-sex (anti-harmony) love.

Andrea belongs to a group of wizards called Lakeside of the Dawn, with 13 people and a high-ranking witch leader. She was sent by him to Byrne to hear the news and to develop the faith.

As for voodoo, also known as voodoo, it originated in West Africa and is a primitive religion that combines ancestor worship, animism, spiritism, etc., similar to shamanism.

In the 16th century, a large number of African slaves were sold to Haiti, which also brought the primitive religion with them, and later took root and mutated in Haiti to form the current voodoo.

They are best known for their resurrection corpse, which refers to a living dead who are in a state of imminent life and death. The dwarf was one of them, fighting the Wicca in the Americas.

And then there was Enes.

This old man seems to be kind, but in fact he is as good as a monkey. He confided very little, except that he was one of the leaders of a magical guild in Gaul, with a high status, and was in charge of security during the meeting.

And tonight's party was also organized by a few of their friends, and there were not many people, just four old guys.

…………

"Da Da Da!"

After walking for about half an hour, the carriage turned into a small village and stopped in front of a wooden house. When the three of them got out of the car, Enes patted the horse's head, and the puppet turned around and disappeared into the night rhythmically.

"It's not going to get lost, is it?" said Andrea.

"Oh, young man, do you know why the location was chosen in Bonn, because there is an old fellow who lives here, and he has set up a lot of magic points in the city, and the effect is beyond your imagination...... Let's go, I'll take you to meet him. ”

As he spoke, Enes knocked on the door with his staff, and with a squeak, the door opened on its own.

Gu Yu entered the room and took a look, it was simply furnished and there were many things, much like the kind of salon parties that were popular in Europe more than a hundred years ago, leaning on the warm fireplace and a few soft reclining chairs.

Two men and a woman were already sitting on the chairs, both very old, faintly led by the white-bearded old man on the left. With a blanket over his legs, he beckoned, "Enes, you're late!"

"Sorry, I just picked up two kids. ”

Enes took off his coat and introduced them to both parties, saying, "This is Erhard, this is Marianne, and this is Cohen." ”

“……”

The eyes of the three of them directly skimmed over Andrea, stayed on Gu Yu, and was inexplicably quiet for a moment, and the white-bearded old man was Erhard, and then nodded lightly: "Welcome to our party, I hope a few of us old guys won't spoil your interest." ”

"I'm also lucky and glad to meet you. Gu Yu arched his hand.

In fact, as soon as he entered the door, he recognized that Erhard was the great protector of the host Germanic dignitaries, and that lady Marianne was the great protector of the Nordic Vikings, but he didn't expect them to be friends - that Cohen had never met.

And the conversation between the two surprised others.

Especially Enes, he can only feel that the other party is extraordinary, but there is no more impression, Erhard's strength is recognized as strong in Europe, with such an attitude of respect and equality, doesn't it say......

Sizzle!

His heart trembled.

After a while, the six people sat down, each holding a cup of fragrant, unknown materials made of hot drinks.

"Today, when new friends come, I will reiterate that although we belong to different countries, here, there is no political position, only academic exchanges," said Erhard. In the past, we were discussing, and it was inevitable that we would be a little tired, but you are from the East, and I would love to hear from you. ”

“……”

Gu Yu figured it out, these people knew each other before the revival of the aura, and they did not change after the recovery, and they often gathered.

Of course, this time it is definitely different, more or less representing the attitude of their own country, except for Cohen, at least the German, Gaul, and Viking three countries have reached a friendly agreement in advance.

And Enes suddenly invited himself, I am afraid that it is also the preliminary test of the Three Kingdoms to the Xia State government/cultivation world.

It just so happened that he was holding back his doubts, thought about it slightly, and said: "I am new to the city, I don't dare to say anything, we may not know much about each other in the East and the West, I am a cultivator, so I will start with this Taoist word."

We Xia people often say that the Tao gives birth to one, one life to two, two to three, and three to all things.

So what exactly is it? According to our understanding, it is the existence and trajectory of all things. To put it simply, the word natural.

Just as the sun and the moon rise in the east and set in the west, wild beasts multiply on their own, the wind is automatic without fanning, water flows without pushing, plants and trees grow without planting, they breathe without breathing, their hearts beat without heartbeat, and so on.

All of this is following its own trajectory, immortal, formless, imageless, beginningless, endless, and all-encompassing...... This is the Word.

In terms of our people and society, it is even more obvious. For example, the way of life, the way of doing business, the way of kings and ministers, the way of learning, the way of harmony between husband and wife, etc., these are also called Tao.

In Western religion, it was God who created the world, and scientists say that it was the Big Bang that formed the universe. I am shallow in my knowledge and don't make false statements.

We believe that it is the Tao that created the universe, and that the universe is made up of qi.

Qi is the origin of the world, and there are different ones, including the Xuanhuang Qi of Heaven and Earth, the two Qi of Yin and Yang, the Qi of the Five Elements, the fierce Qi of the Earth, and the Qi of Qiantiangang...... These qi make up everything in the world, and it is precisely these qi that we need for our cultivation. ”

"For example?" asked Marianne.

"For example......"

Gu Yu spread out his palm, released an aura, and stood vertically in the palm of his hand. The aura was formless, and he controlled it, vibrating at a high-speed frequency.

As a result, the air in his palm began to distort, and the space was distorted, emitting circles of energy induction.

"Oh, there's no elemental composition!, such clear fluctuations!" Marianne whispered.

"Similar to some of Gu Tianzhu's cultivation methods, but more pure. Enes pulled out a pipe and clattered it.

"I used to read an ancient book that recorded a meditation method that absorbed this qi, but it was very, very difficult. Cohen also said.

"Oh, I'd love to experiment with it, maybe it can be turned into something more interesting!"

Just like Gu Yu saw magic for the first time, everyone present was quite curious, and they were talking about this strange energy.

After talking for a while, Erhard said, "Okay, okay, please continue." ”

"Good!"

Gu Yu withdrew his hand with a smile, and said, "Heaven and earth are transformed by qi, including people. When we cultivate, we return to our roots and return to our roots. In layman's terms, if people become angry again, they can be immortal and eternal with the sky.

This is the belief of our Xia Guo monks, and it is also the path we are taking. From ancient times to the present, for thousands of years, countless people have gone forward one after another, overcoming obstacles, just for that glimmer of life. ”

He paused for a moment, then continued, "So, I dare to ask, our cultivation is detached and free, coexisting with the Tao, and sitting back and watching the universe come and go. So what are you practicing for? Is it also for immortality?"

“……”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present fell silent.

Because of that linguistic communication, what he said was certainly a bit of a crepe, and everyone could understand it. Andrea is the most stubborn in the audience, knowing that she is the one who sent the phone bill, it is rare to restrain her temper and be as quiet as a chicken.

After half a ring, Enes suddenly tapped his pipe and said, "If you had asked me ten years ago, I would have told you that I was hungry for the knowledge and power of magic. But now, I find that I have given the most precious thing in order to pursue these things. ”

"Time?" Gu Yu asked.

"Yes! All of Europe, I consider myself at the forefront of magical theory. But the more knowledge I accumulated, the more frightened I felt. Enes sighed.

"Hehe, so do I. Do you know what my first reaction was when I learned that the elements had reappeared?"

Marianne replied to herself, "I will first go to the graveyard of Flamel to find the Philosopher's Stone. ”

"Hahaha, I really can't imagine that you, a guy as calm as an iceberg, would do such a thing!" Cohen couldn't help but laugh.

"I checked the information left by the teacher a few days ago, and the Philosopher's Stone should have been refined, but the elixir of immortality was not. And for some unknown reason, Flamel lost the stone and his whereabouts are unknown. ”

Erhard's legacy seemed to be very awesome, and at the mention of the teacher, the other three all looked respectful.

Then, he smiled again: "The new kid asked a very simple question, but we all deliberately avoided it. In the beginning, we may practice for wisdom, strength, wealth, or power, but in the end it all becomes a kind of, you call it immortality, we call it eternal life. ”

Gu Yu also laughed, sure enough, the monks in the world are like cowards, and they are all afraid of death!

"In that case, I'm going to show you something. ”

"Is that research coming to fruition?" said Eneschi.

"It's not about results, it's just a preliminary recovery. ”

Erhard looked very generous, stood up slowly, and led the five into the back room.

(Let's talk about it, because the power of the river crab from the east is too strong, so-and-so taught me to try to avoid it, no way, I hope you understand.) ）
