Chapter 15: Master

Everything in the universe starts from one point, and countless energies burst out from that point, these energies are good and bad, constantly combining and decomposing to form various substances, and then some of these substances form meteorites, and meteorites gradually evolve into planets, and the masses of planets are getting larger and larger and gradually attract each other to form galaxies, and galaxies and galaxies drift farther and farther away due to collisions, and the universe is just like this.

Because of the continuous movement of galaxies in the universe, until today, because of the reach of manpower, we still cannot see the whole picture of the universe. Although there are always some people who are gifted, after all, only a very small number of people can get a glimpse of one millionth of the universe.

Yan Hou is one of the very few people, that is, not all of these very few people want to know more about the entire Xinghai, and even some people gradually lose their talents and become mediocre, but Yan Hou is not reconciled.

The old man said that whoever snoops on the heavens to change his life will commit one of the five evils and three deficiencies, which is the punishment of heaven and the price that mortals must pay for their own talents.

Yan Hou often wondered, was it because of his talent that he killed his parents and brothers? When he was young, Yan Hou would fall into self-blame from time to time.Until he grew up, he decided to be strong, and while walking outside to increase his experience, his mind gradually broadened, and he was not so self-blaming.At the same time, he also understood that he was indeed the culprit who killed his parents and brother, even if there were many historical reasons, but in the final analysis, it was his talent that made heaven intolerable, although painful, but there are still some things that have to be faced since they are facts, and cannot be escaped.

What exactly is Yan Hou's talent? He didn't know very well at first, but he knew that he had seen the hallucinations of his parents and brother being killed, and then this thing came true.

There was always a voice in his head to guide him, but when he had the idea of getting rid of the Heavenly Dao, that voice never appeared again.

Without the guidance of the voice in his head, Yan Hou began to collect all kinds of ancient books, read through the contents to find clues, and then marked the places on the map one by one, and began to visit them one by one. Yan Hou has worshiped three masters, at that time 7-year-old Yan Hou visited the famous mountains and rivers, one is to broaden his horizons and cultivate temperament, the other is to go to some inaccessible places to find the legendary masters, the first master is Ge Hong, it should be said that Yan Hou is simply lucky, this predecessor is famous in history. It's just that he suddenly disappeared later, and there are rumors that he is dead, and some people say that he has become an immortal. It's just that I didn't expect Yan Hou to meet it. Yan Hou knelt in front of Ge Hong for seven days and seven nights, and finally got a little guidance from Ge Hong, and Yan Hou followed Ge Hong to practice for seven years. Ge Hong guided Yan Hou bit by bit, and Yan Hou made rapid progress, absorbing all kinds of knowledge like a bottomless pit. But Ge Hong suddenly disappeared one day seven years later, leaving only a divine sense, telling Yan Hou that "the fate of master and apprentice for seven years is over, and there is nothing to teach as a teacher, so you can travel and experience it yourself in the future." Yan Hou said goodbye to the place where he had been with his master Ge Hong for seven years, and left after three kowtows. Yan Hou learned a lot of secret methods of cultivation, the mysteries of the Great Dao of the Universe and the use of his own power, and decided to follow his master's orders to refine his heart. In order to experience all kinds of life and death, love and hatred in the red dust, he joined the army and served as a soldier for 3 years. And several times on the edge of life and death, I also made a few good friends, and even a few foreign friends, and then left the army after 3 years.

Yan Hou constantly came into contact with all kinds of people, and even traveled abroad to study and broaden his knowledge. Among them were several secret families that had been passed down in Chinese history for a long time, with whom Yan Hou used his skills to establish a very friendly relationship, and one of his later masters was formed when he interacted with some secret families after returning to China.

Yan Hou's second master was met in a remote and abandoned courtyard when he visited a secret family. The man looked very sloppy at that time, as if he hadn't washed it for a long time, and he still had words in his mouth, like a mentally ill person who was focused on his own world, and didn't notice Yan Hou's arrival at all, until Yan Hou approached and saw the person's face, and the man suddenly looked up at Yan Hou. This family was actually a family of witch doctors in ancient times, and gradually prospered, but the family still lived in seclusion because they were all a group of cultivators. It's just that it seems that every big family of this kind will experience this kind of thing once, and there are young outstanding juniors in the family who are tempted by the outside world of flowers, become ambitious and have bad intentions, and want to use this ability to become a king and hegemon, but the family adheres to the concept of escapism and seclusion, so it unites outsiders to carry out a bloodbath on their own family, in a vain attempt to get rid of the shackles of the family. Although the traitor was eventually killed, the family was wounded, and the exercises were lost in battle, leading to the family's decline. It is said that a peerless genius appeared in the family later, and the elders of the clan loved him very much, and this genius even made up for the missing family exercises with his talent, and was very loved by the clansmen for this. But he accidentally went crazy during a practice, so that he went crazy in the end. Although the exercises are complete, no one teaches them, which makes the people in the clan regret. The person Yan Hou saw at that time was that genius, because he could already be said to have achieved cultivation at that time, so Shou Yuan reached 1,000 years old, Yan Hou saw him and felt as if he was only in his early 20s, in fact, this person was already the oldest in the clan at that time, already more than 200 years old! When Yan Hou followed Master Ge Hong at that time, he had studied alchemy, so he proposed that maybe he could refine the elixir to help this senior regain his senses.

For this family, it is simply great news, that means that the lost exercises will reappear, the older generation will feel that they will no longer be worthy of their ancestors, and the family can finally return to the strength of the past. After the senior regained his senses, he wrote down all his experiences over the years and gave them to Yan Hou as a reward. Although handing over the family inheritance exercises to outsiders was opposed by many clan elders, this senior still did it. "I still have to teach the younger generations in my family, so I can't leave, but I can give you everything I have learned and understood all my life to repay your great kindness!" In this way, this senior became Yan Hou's second master, strictly speaking, he can only be regarded as half a master, because Yan Hou left after getting the inheritance, and the exercises given by the predecessors were completely self-taught by Yan Hou's understanding. But Yan Hou still cherished the disciple's great gift before leaving that family. But Yan Hou did not cut off contact, and often wrote back letters, and sent back his feelings during the cultivation process.

Of course, the letters between practitioners are not sent by mail, but by thousands of miles of magic. And when Yan Hou sent the message back for the first time, he was stunned by the entire family. In the end, it is the Xiuzhen family that has been inherited for thousands of years, and I still know a little bit about the seniors, but I didn't expect that after a thousand years, I met Ge Hong's heir, and the people in the family were very shocked at the time. The inheritance of magic has its own trajectory, and the magic is the condensation of these trajectories, and each inheritance has its own trajectory, and there are different spells. At that time, through this technique, the family immediately recognized Yan Hou's master, and they were amazed! That young man is actually Ge Hong's descendant!? How could he be so shallow-eyed and covet his own exercises, and everyone suddenly felt ashamed that he was too narrow-minded. What's more, Yan Hou has not yet cherished himself, and even seriously practiced the exercises and then wrote down his feelings, saying that he was a feeling, but in fact he pointed out the lack of the exercises and reminded them to improve them, which was indirectly helping them to further improve the missing exercises! They no longer had the slightest doubt, and completely let go of their dissatisfaction with Yan Hou taking away their own exercises.

In this way, Yan Hou visited the secret families hidden out of everyone's sight one by one, and consulted the advantages and disadvantages of each family's exercises, and slowly had his own trajectory. After establishing a good relationship, he browsed through the Taoist scriptures and scrolls of each family one by one, and he wanted to find some more clues, clues about that voice. Then, in the process of searching, he found that some of the collections had actually gone abroad, so after searching around the country, Yan Hou's eyes were fixed on the treasure troves of the great powers. He began to learn the foreign languages of various countries, and with the memory and perception that he had strengthened after his practice, he quickly mastered the Chinese languages and began a long journey abroad. Because it was still wartime, the attitude towards a Chinese and the basic powers would be arrogant, but when they really began to contact Yan Hou, they found that this man, this kind of young man from China, is not easy to mess with! Powerful people always make people willing to submit, Yan Hou gradually contacted foreign high-level people, but Yan Hou has only one purpose, that is, those Taoist scriptures and archives that have been looted away by foreign powers, so he contacts most of the personnel related to document management, and occasionally because he needs to contact some military personnel. The process was not very smooth, but Yan Hou patiently got to know and contact with one related figure after another, hoping to smoothly approach the precious relics of his ancestors who had been taken away by the foreign powers, and strive to bring them all back. In this way, Yan Hou went all the way to contact different people, and took back volume after volume of cultural relics collection, in order to be able to preserve it well, after those collections gradually increased, Yan Hou began to sort them out, and specially made huge camphor wood boxes to store, each camphor wood box is the size of a wardrobe. And whenever the boxes were full, Yan Hou would mark each box with a spell and seal it to ensure that the hard-earned books would not be lost again.
