"The Great Sui is the master of this continent, whether it is the East Tuling Mountain or the Xiling Dao Sect, any holy land or holy mountain, taken out and tied up, to a certain extent, is the subordinate of the Great Sui. ”

"The Taoist sect in the remote area, the Buddhism sect, is far away, because of some fanatical reason, it is not too subject to the jurisdiction of the Great Sui Dynasty, but it is in the territory of Zhongzhou...... The other sacred mountains are not so free. When Xu Zang said this, he paused slightly, and said: "Attention, what I'm talking about is not so free, although the laws of the Great Sui Dynasty explicitly prohibit killing people and setting fires, and it says that killing people pays for life...... But in the world of cultivators, if your sword is fast enough, your fist is hard enough, and the back mountain is big enough to kill someone, you don't need to think about the law. Xu Zang said calmly: "The freedom here does not refer to the freedom of the individual, but the freedom of the entire holy mountain. The Dao Sect can support a certain ordinary person in Xiling, and push him to the supreme position with great ease, and even when he entered the Great Sui Dynasty to be baptized, he was on the same level as that emperor, but only a little lower. ”

But the other holy mountains don't have that power. ”

When he woke up early in the morning, Xu Zang packed his things, and in addition to tying up the fine snow, he also bought three new sets of brand-new black robes from the store and rented two horses. The junction of Xiling and Dasui, the wind and sand are very large, the plain and the desert are at the junction, some sections are not easy to ride horses, three people lead two horses, it is difficult to walk in the desert yellow sand, Ning Yi's package is hung on the horse, a layer of black cloth is shiny, the girl's legs and feet are injured, lying on the horse's back, the three people look tired and excited...... It's like being a footman who can bring great profits.

"Xiling can believe in Taoism, and Dongtu can believe in Lingshan. Xu Zang smiled and said: "But in Zhongzhou, whether it is those mortals or the holy mountain, they can't have faith. In other words...... They can only. ”

"Emperor. Ning Yi omitted a sensitive verb, and he frowned: "The emperor does not allow variables that threaten his imperial power to appear in his sight. ”

"Yes...... Because the Dao Sect and the Spirit Mountain were too remote, they survived. Xu Zang sighed lightly: "This is a matter worth pondering, I don't want to make too many remarks, so these words are here, and I will stop there." ”

Ning Yi nodded in agreement.

"Starting from the Great Wall in the west of the Great Sui, a straight line pulls to the east, and the two generals who guard the border pass have a difference of 36,000 miles in the middle. Xu Zang turned his head, looked at the young man behind him who was pulling the sycophants, half of his body was straight, and said seriously: "Da Sui is very big, really big. ”

"When Emperor Gaozu founded the country, he forced the demon clan to the side of the inverted sea in the north, and he was considered a great man on the same level as the gods, who should have been immortal and ruled the empire. When Xu Zang talked about ancient history, his brows furrowed, and he said, "Unknown reason...... Maybe it's because of the need to strengthen the Inverted Hanging Sea Formation? Not only Gao Zu, but many powerful beings have died one after another. The bloodline of the Great Sui royal family is very strong, the first emperor is suspected of being an immortal-level cultivator, and the powerful bloodline he left behind has allowed them to continue to rule this continent, counting from back to front, no one can count how many years, counting from front to back...... I don't think it will be long. ”

"Strengthen the formation, so you die?" Ning Yi thought to himself that such an excuse was really common in books, not only familiar, but also rotten, so he shook his head and said, "You said that the first emperor of the Great Sui was an immortal...... What is immortality?"

"I never said that the Emperor of the Great Sui was a cultivator who had reached the immortal level, I just wanted to say that he shouldn't have died so easily....... Although that emperor personally killed two immortal-level demon cultivators when he was hanging upside down in the sea, according to historical records, the first emperor himself said that he was not immortal. Xu Zang's tone was a little more solemn, and he said, "As for the kind of immortal you want to ask...... It is a kind of cultivation realm, the highest cultivation realm. ”

"All the practice is to make people inhuman. ”

"The ants raised their heads and saw the starry sky above their heads, the eternal stars, and their hearts longed for it, so they wanted to be one of them. ”

"All people die, but some people don't want to die, so they want to live forever. ”

"All people die, and if a very small number of people succeed on the road to immortality, they finally stand on the starry sky, become a dazzling star, and gain eternal life...... Are they still human?"

Ning Yi pursed his lips and stopped talking.

He had a few questions he wanted to ask, but held back.

He just replied dullly: "People who don't die should not be considered human." ”

"Of course not man, but God. Xu Zang glanced at him, and did not have the slightest sense of awe, but lazily coped: "Huh...... This is immortality. ”

The wind and sand gusted, Pei Fu, who had been lying on the back of the horse and supporting her chin with both hands, listened with relish, and she asked directly.

"If you become a star in the sky, won't you die?"

asked the first question that Ning Yi wanted to ask.

Xu Zang led the horse and didn't look back, "No." ”

Pei Fu then asked, "How did the immortal who will never die be killed by Emperor Gaozu?"

Xu Zang's body stiffened.

This becomes a story of spear and shield.

How did the immortal, who would never die, be killed by the first emperor?

Xu Zang led the horse to the front, he stretched out a hand, brushed the strand of gray hair floating in front of his forehead, pinned it behind his ear, and then found the problem...... It's really interesting.

"Maybe it's because the first emperor used a sword, and the cultivators who used the sword were always stronger than other cultivators. Xu Zang said perfunctorily: "Well, that's it." This topic can also be discontinued. ”

Ning Yi rolled his eyes, thinking that this senior's universal education was too arbitrary.

In the desert and yellow sand, the three of them had no topic, so they could only continue to move forward in silence.

Ning Yi led the big yellow horse, only to feel that the resistance was getting bigger and bigger, he didn't step into the path of cultivation, even if he swallowed a five-hundred-year-old Sui Yang Pearl, and the thousand purple Xuandans given by Zhou You, he only felt a trace of the subtlety of cultivation, and he didn't know how much worse he was from breaking through the first three realms.

Flying sand all over the sky, walking for about two or three hours, Ning Yi's temperament was very heavy, but his legs and feet gradually did not obey the call, Xu Zang's speed in front of him was always maintained, his back was straight, and his black robe was hunting and flying backwards, looking like a person who was going to die at all...... In addition to the frequency of steps, Ning Yi felt that the forward speed of the guy in front of him was really fast.

His voice was hoarse, and Pei Fu wanted Ning Yi to get on the horse several times, but he was refused.

Boredom on the path of cultivation and the many difficulties of the trek, Ning Yi's heart felt a little more irritable and anxious, he looked at the black clothes that were getting farther and farther in front of him, gritted his teeth and dragged the big yellow horse forward.

"Senior, how should I break through the realm?"

Xu Zang was a little surprised, looked at the young man who caught up, and said a word lightly: "Eat." ”

After saying that, Xu Zang began to speed up.

The big black horse led by Xu Zang was frightened, feeling the quicksand that was constantly collapsing under his hooves, and his huge body, in a twisted posture, stepped on small broken steps to follow Xu Zang.

"Senior, what to eat?"

Xu Zang narrowed his eyes and looked at the young man who was advancing with him, the big yellow horse and the big black horse, the two horses jumping with broken steps, looked at each other, and accelerated their pace in embarrassment and politeness.

"If a five-hundred-year-old Sui Yangzhu can't do it, then eat a thousand-year-old. One thousand Purple Xuandan is not enough, so eat two thousand. ”

"That's a nice thing to say...... Where to eat, and by whom?"

Xu Zang suddenly stopped.

Ning Yi panted and let go of the hand holding the rope, arched his body, held his knees with both hands, his palms were worn by the reins, the fine grains of sand were mixed in, and the blood soaked out, he held the rope again, rested with strength, and his knees were spotted red.

Pei Fu looked in his eyes and did not speak.

"Certainly not to eat me...... I am poor and white, and you can't break through the realm if you eat me. Xu Zang glanced at the scarlet bloodstains and said lightly, "Rest." ”

The boy grinned silently.

Xu Zang suddenly said: "Don't work hard at every turn, just say when you're tired, and rest if you want to." ”

Ning Yi didn't speak, stood on tiptoe with a smile, and touched Pei Fu's head.

"Knowing that you can't do it, you don't do it. Xu Zang looked at Ning Yi and said, "It's Zhiye." ”

Ning Yi touched Pei Fu's head and said with a smile: "The senior said that he was laughing...... Even if my seniors were a little faster and trotted for two hours, I would be able to keep up. ”

Xu Zang narrowed his eyes and said slightly angrily: "Of course I can, you don't want to die?"

Ning Yi said seriously: "I only know that I can't lose my seniors, otherwise I won't have to eat, and it will be easy to be eaten by others." There is only one opportunity, and I don't want to miss it, as for the do's and don'ts...... I didn't think that in my world, there are only things that can be done and things that cannot be done. ”

After living in the temple in Xiling for ten years, Ning Yi's age is too young, and when he goes to work for others, he often works all day, with no harvest, and the Qingbai City is too chaotic.

Ning Yi could only steal.

If you steal something, you eat it.

If you can't steal it, you'll have to go hungry.

The perception of teenagers is actually very simple.

After saying this, Ning Yi looked at Xu Zang a little nervously, the man's face was cloudy, and his sword eyebrows were raised, as if he was thinking about something.

The fine snow behind Xu Zang began to tremble.

He thought of some of the less decisive past, and some of the words that Zhou You said when he was separated from himself.

Xu Zang looked at Ning Yi one last time, stretched out a hand, and hung it above the young man's head.

Then it fell lightly and rubbed it.

"You...... Well, that's good. ”
