The spring night has begun to have a hint of warmth shuttling through the hot wind, and occasionally a few songworms murmur once or twice in their sleep, startling the resident birds that are about to fall to the ground in their sleep. fluttering its tired wings, it brought another liveliness to the dead and silent mountain forest.

"Dead. Dongluo said with affirmation again: "My father Chen Ba killed all the demons first. But it turned out that there was a powerful organization behind them, and the emergence of that organization forced my father not to pursue it further. Zhang Turing, the county guard of Yunzhong County, did not ask again. It seems that there is something in this that we don't know. ”

Xue Nianci was silent for a while and said, "My parents too, once they found it, they never checked it again." But during that time, I often heard them talk about the wall-erectors. ”

"Wall Builder?" Dongluo asked suspiciously, "Is this a powerful organization?" forced them to stop their investigation. ”

"Possibly. Xue Nianci's fingers tapped lightly on the armrest of the wheelchair and said, "Now that we know who caused the killing, then someone must pay for the lives of hundreds of people in our village!"

Dongluo pushed Xue Nianci and walked for a long time, saying a lot of things halfway, and didn't come back until Moon Shadow moved west.

On the occasion of separation, Xue Nianci asked curiously, "What are you doing in Luoyang?"

Dongluo didn't answer, and after being silent for a long time, he laughed at himself, his smile looked a little tired, and he said dejectedly: "Are you afraid?"

"What are you afraid of?" Xue Nianci asked curiously.

"The passage of time. ”

"Don't be afraid. ”

"I'm afraid that if I can't practice and use cultivation to suppress the cold in my body, I will only have three years to live at most, but unfortunately, I really can't practice. So I'm afraid, I'm afraid I won't be able to make time. ”

......

......

On the second day, the caravan, escorted by several guards, continued to march south towards the capital Luoyang, but the days of winter fell no longer as boring as the previous days.

When he was not set up camp, Xue Nianci and the old man Qingyun would call him to chat, and every time he went, he would take Erhei and Sanhei to play with Xue Yuxin.

During the chat in the carriage, Dongluo learned a lot of cultivation knowledge and a certain understanding of Luoyang City.

For example, although cultivators all cultivate by sensing the aura of heaven and earth, because of the different attributes of the aura of heaven and earth, some of the attacks and combat methods brought by them are also different.

For example, the metal aura palm attack, and the people who perceive the golden aura often have amazing attack power. In their hands, everything can become metal that kills people, and a single piece of grass can open mountains and crack stones.

There are also some special items that enhance the cultivation of cultivators, including spirit stones, elixirs, spiritual weapons, and many other items. For example, the dust-whisking wooden sword used in Taoism, and the wooden fish rosary used in Buddhism. As for swords and the like, they are standard, and a few people use special items such as pen and ink spells.

"Most of the people who use pen, ink, paper, inkstone, etc. as weapons are Confucian people, and Confucianism stresses benevolence and cultivates righteousness. As soon as the words of pen and ink came out, they were in harmony with the way of heaven, and they had a rolling and heroic atmosphere......"

The old man Qingyun held a cup of tea, leaned against the car window and enjoyed it very slowly.

"What about the Taoist! I see that you are holding the wooden sword in your hand every day when you are idle and have nothing to do, are you a Taoist?"

The two who had been chatting for a long time naturally became acquainted, and Dongluo also only listened to it at the beginning, and gradually raised his own questions.

The old man put down the teacup, glared at the young man, and reprimanded, "Don't disturb me to speak. However, I am indeed a Taoist, cultivating the way of heaven and holding the world. And that wooden sword is a Horcrux, a thing that can only be cultivated after condensing the soul body in the Purple Mansion Realm. ”

"In addition to the above-mentioned types of cultivators, in fact, the most common cultivators in the world are martial artists, their perception of the aura of heaven and earth is extremely low, but they are also extremely strong in terms of combat effectiveness. It can be said that the same territory is invincible. Because their practice is too difficult. For example, the ascetics of Buddhism, the laymen of Taoism, and so on. And the cultivation of martial artists is not heavy, only the body. Mainly through a variety of physical exercises to temper their own body. ”

"I'm wondering if those eight giants in Mangshan North Road are martial artists?"

"They?" the old man said disdainfully, "The body that has been forcibly improved by borrowing pills and secret methods can barely be regarded as a martial artist! If it is a real martial artist, the eight of them can wipe out our entire team without forming any formation." ”

Dongluo was speechless, he didn't expect the martial artist to be so harmful, and hurriedly asked: "Then why don't everyone practice martial arts!"

"The path of martial arts is difficult and difficult, and no one can go through it without great perseverance and determination. What's more, with the improvement of cultivation, the physical body will also have a corresponding improvement, so there are fewer people who choose to cultivate martial arts. ”

The old man Qingyun looked at Dongluo with his head down, as if he knew what he was thinking, sighed softly, and said, "I advise you not to try to practice. Although countless Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi has entered your tendons and expelled from your body along your flesh and bones, you have already forged your body stronger than ordinary low-level martial artists, but your body is also in a state of balance, and if this balance is broken, you may die immediately......"

He patted the young man's slightly stiff shoulder again, smiled comfortingly, and said, "Of course, it is possible to live." ”

"In this world, in addition to cultivating strength and qi, what is more important is cultivating the mind. ”

Dongluo left in silence.

The little flame that had just ignited in his eyes was ruthlessly extinguished, he was already downset about the matter of cultivation, if it weren't for the old man Qingyun's ear mentioning in the past few days, which made him have some superfluous thoughts, his mood at this time would probably be much better, as the so-called if there is no hope, naturally it doesn't matter if there is no disappointment, if you are desperate at the beginning, then the hope at the beginning will not appear at all.

Da Hei had already raised the fire, and the thin Xue Yuxin had already pushed Xue Nianci to the fire and rode Da Hei to play with Erhei and Sanhei.

Before the winter set approached, Xue Nianci preemptively said: "I looked through many ancient and modern classics and found a few words about the Heavenly Sender. In ancient times, there was a man who was the Heavenly Messenger of the Extreme Fire, but he cultivated against the heavens and survived in the end. However, the classics are incomplete, and only mention the repair of the movement. ”

Having just experienced the disappointing winter fall, he didn't have much hope for what Xue Nianci said, but still asked, "What is Xiuyun?"

The firelight shone on Xue Nianci's face, and he said slowly word by word: "Founding the country, opening a sect, and establishing a clan." It combines the merits of heaven and earth. That's repair. ”

"Cultivators are the pets of heaven and earth, and the spiritual power of all spirits in the world can improve their own fortune within a certain range. ”

Dongluo said thoughtfully: "It seems to make some sense." It's just that it's not easy to build a country, establish a clan, and start a sect. ”

Xue Nianci said slowly: "It is difficult to establish a clan and open a sect, but it is easy to build a country." Do you know how many countries there are on this land under our feet? There are hundreds, and there are dozens of them on the border of the Great Zhou Dynasty, including the human kingdom, the demon country, the witch country, and the island country. Now, in this Shenzhou continent, you can build a country by splitting the soil and sealing the territory. ”

"Can you build a country by splitting the soil and sealing the territory?" Dongluo asked uncertainly: "Then there should be more than such a country in the Shenzhou Continent!"

Xue Nianci smiled bitterly and said: "Yes, if you only seal the territory and tear the land, then it can't be called a country, at most it can be regarded as a landowner." A true country must have the will of the people and the will of God. It's just that the hearts of the people are easy to get, and the will of heaven is hard to find!"

"What is providence?"

"To govern the country is to act as a herdsman on behalf of heaven, to educate all the people for heaven and earth, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and everyone praises his name. And this providence is the right that heaven and earth have given you to represent the herdsmen of heaven. With this right, we can reach heaven and listen to all people. ”

"How can I get this right?" asked Dongluo humbly.

"Repair. Xue Nianci said slowly without hurry: "Cultivation is to condense the merits and luck of heaven and earth in the capital, temples, and sects, and can be divided into courtiers, clansmen, and sect disciples to make them have luck." Just imagine, after a person has the blessing of luck, the difficulties encountered in the cultivation will be easily solved. You can pick up treasures when you go out and walk. Isn't that beneficial. ”

Xue Nianci sighed lightly and continued to add: "Although the founding of the country is much simpler than the other two roads, it is not so easy to repair. Don't look at the countless countries, sects, and families in this Shenzhou Continent. But there are not many who are truly independent. In the final analysis, they don't have the practice of cultivating luck. Unable to condense one's own luck. You can only rely on relying on the upper sects, countries, and families, and use their exercises to divide the seals in order to condense your own luck. But in this way, there will also be a lot of luck and merit flowing to them. Like the Loulan Kingdom, it is attached to the two upper positions of the Snow Clan and the Great Zhou Kingdom. Provide them with a lot of luck every year. ”

"Cultivating the Exercises?" Dongluo's eyes shone like the starry sky outside the sky in the dark night when there was only a pile of firewood.

He suddenly remembered that on a snowy day last winter, an old man with white hair and white robe came to his tavern, left him a copy of the Tao Te Ching, and told him that the Tao Sutra cultivates qi and the virtue scripture cultivates luck. Although the content in it is different from the "Tao Te Ching" written by Yu Hanguguan, a Taoist sage among the hundred schools of Zhuzi that he knew before. But I think it should also be a classic among the classics.

Xue Nianci smiled bitterly and said: "The country is divided into dynasties, imperial dynasties, imperial dynasties, and heavenly dynasties. Originally, there were very few exercises in the world to cultivate the movement, and even fewer could support a country to condense the imperial weather. Not to mention the cultivation method that can condense the meteorology of the Heavenly Empire. If a country does not have an independent national consciousness, it is better to be destroyed. ”

Dongluo stared at Xue Nianci's eyes for a long time in the dark night, and seemed to have made up his mind: "I decide...... Founding. I have the practice of cultivating movements, and although I don't know what kind of atmosphere I can condense, Bi Jing is a sovereign and independent country. When I finish my work in Luoyang, I will go to split the soil and seal the territory to build a country. Begin to repair your fortune and repair the ethereal life. It's not very promising, but it's worth giving it a try!"

"What? What do you say? Do you have the practice of cultivating luck?" Xue Nianci still didn't believe it, and she was excited as if she wanted to get up from the wheelchair, but after struggling for a long time, there was no effect, and finally she had to lie down on the wheelchair and whispered: "Yes, you are Chen Baxian's son, it stands to reason that he has it, and you should have it." ”

At this moment, Dongluo is like a drowning and dying person, and he is unwilling to give up any hope that can keep him alive. Bi Jing can live, and no one will choose to die.

Although this road has been verified by predecessors, and I don't know if it works in Dongluo's body, but this does not affect him on this road at all.

It's done, and the benefits are many. Defeated, it seems that there is nothing to lose.
