Chapter 248: Something

[These two chapters are a bit difficult to write! After all, they are a theoretical construction of the whole book, and I want to write something like Verne's science fiction novels, although with imagination, but it is rich in logic, and it is best to achieve something!]

"No response?" the older man stared at the Heavenly Machine Disk in his hand for a long time, and said in confusion.

"What's the matter?" the young man was agitated, his hope of completing the task was already slim, and he did not want to stay in this filthy place of the outside world for a few more moments.

The young man turned his head and saw the older man holding the Heavenly Machine Disk, but his eyes were firmly fixed on a drunk man sitting on the steps at the entrance of the Imperial City Temple.

"Why can't it? Heaven is unpredictable, how can a person with shallow cultivation see through it?" the older man sneered back.

"Cultivation is shallow, your cultivation is only in the late stage of foundation building, I have taken less than half of your time, but I am only a small realm lower than you, and I will definitely surpass you in less than ten years!" Thinking of this, the young man became more and more unwilling in his heart, if this task was completed smoothly, he would inevitably surpass the other party earlier!

"But is there any reaction to the machine disk this day? No, since there is no reaction, why are you still staying in the dirty land? Do you still doubt that the treasure of the ancestor is not successful?" the young man laughed loudly.

This is also where the older man is confused, the reason why he is suspicious of such a drunk is just a whim, this drunk appeared by a coincidence, and for people like them, even if it is just a whim, it is enough!

However, the Tianji disk really didn't respond!

"Am I wrong?" said the older man, frowning.

"Forget it, let's go!" said the older man, turning back.

The young man snorted, turned and walked away.

With that, the two of them left, leaving the streets empty and deserted, as if nothing had ever happened.

But he didn't know that at this moment, the drunkard's heart was shouting: "Fall asleep! You must fall asleep! Otherwise, you will die! Xu Chen!"

The drunk man is naturally dressed up by Xu Chen!

Since he was targeted, and he was this kind of enemy that he couldn't understand at all, no matter what, Xu Chen would not be willing to come and see it in person!

In addition, the truth of Monk Huineng's words, whether the jade pendant of the Wan family can play a role, and what kind of role it can play, if these things are not checked in person, Xu Chen will not rest assured!

In the final analysis, Xu Chen has always maintained a skeptical attitude towards the promises made by outsiders. "What anyone promised you can't count, only what you can do can count!" This is the choice Xu Chen made in the face of unknown dangers!

What's more, Xu Chen is no longer alone now, and staying with his brothers at this time is obviously not a good choice.

The two people who came, Xu Chen had already seen it, although he had not seen them make a move, but recalling the magical power of the Huineng monk, Xu Chen did not feel that he could have the slightest chance of winning in the face of them now, and this time he ventured here just to meet him.

"Huh?" Not far from the gate of the Imperial City Temple, a voice suddenly came out of thin air, but the source of the sound was clearly empty!

"Haha! It is said that Senior Brother Yun's family is poor, and I don't think that's necessarily the case! For the sake of an ant-like beggar and a drunkard, he actually used two 'invisibility talismans'! My children of this family are really inferior to my senior brother!"

The voice of the young man, who had already gone away, suddenly appeared here, and then, at the source of the sound, the light twisted, and the two who should have been far away reappeared!

"I'm asleep!" said the older man, indignantly.

"Hmph! If Senior Brother Yun still wants to stay in this kind of place, please forgive Senior Brother for not wanting to accompany him!" After saying that, the young man strode away.

The older man was still staring angrily at Xu Chen's pretending drunk, snoring like thunder, but he was indeed asleep!

Immediately, the corners of the older man's mouth rose slightly, and with a shake of his right hand, a delicate crossbow and bow appeared in his hand.

"The old monk is here, if he uses his aura, I'm afraid that the old monk will inevitably intervene! Now I only use this savage's weapon, but I want to see if this drunk man will attract the attention of the old monk, if so, my guess will be verified!"

The older man thought so, but his right hand was raised. A black light flashed, and an iron arrow flew towards Xu Chen......

There was no expected thin palm to stop this iron arrow, and the iron arrow pierced into Xu Chen's chest effortlessly!

Xu Chen only had time to howl, and as soon as his body twitched, he immediately fainted!

I was really asleep just now, and now I'm really drowsy!

The man on the other side frowned tightly, and after a moment he threw away the crossbow and bow in his hand, put away a piece of rune paper that emitted a golden light on his left hand, and turned to leave......

The two of them walked for a while, and the gate of the Huangcheng Temple slowly opened, and the abbot Master Huineng appeared at the door, looked at Xu Chen, who had passed out on the steps, and muttered in a low voice: "There are many smart people, and there are fewer smart people who are not afraid of death at all! There are even fewer smart people who can be so ruthless to themselves! He has a heavenly opportunity, and he can be recognized by Yu Pei, and he is so old and ruthless, hehe, I really want to know where this kid can go......

A moment later, in the bamboo garden of the Imperial City Temple, Xu Chen woke up leisurely.

"I'm well prepared!" Master Huineng, who was meditating, opened his eyes, glanced at the pile of soft armor, silk and other things beside Xu Chen that had just taken from Xu Chen's body, and said with a smile.

Xu Chen immediately touched the position of his chest, but found that there was not even a single wound, so he breathed a sigh of relief. Xu Chen naturally made sufficient preparations before he came, and all the important parts of his body were covered with gold silk soft armor, plus multiple layers of dirty silk, just to give himself a little more ability to protect himself in his sleep! Fortunately, the person who shot just now was not the head......

"Thank you, Master Abbot!" Xu Chen stood up and bowed deeply to Abbot Huineng. The fact that he is now unscathed must be the credit of this miraculous abbot master.

"Don't come with me for this!" Abbot Huineng glanced at Xu Chen and said.

"Hehe, after all, it's a life-saving grace, this thank you should still be said!" Xu Chen said with a smile.

"And then?" Abbot Huineng looked at Xu Chen with a smile.

Xu Chen naturally said with a smile: "Abbot, don't worry! I will naturally do what I promised!"

Master Huineng looked at Xu Chen and waited silently.

Xu Chen said with a smile: "But before fulfilling the promise, the kid still has some doubts, and I hope that the abbot master can answer them together!"

Master Huineng looked at Xu Chen and said, "Do you want to get an inch?"

Xu Chen replied very honorably: "Yes! If before, I couldn't confirm my value in the heart of the abbot master, whether it was enough for the abbot master to come to the rescue, so I ventured to come alone! Now, the enemy has retreated, and I will not be found again for a long time! Without the life and death crisis, I will naturally have more choices! Now it is not me who should be anxious! Abbot, you are right?"

Master Huineng didn't get angry, just smiled, and then really began to explain to Xu Chen: "Do you want to know who they are? They are just a group of abandoned people! After the great change, everyone who can walk is gone, and those who can't and can't walk can only circle a piece of territory and hide like a mouse." On the contrary, the savages they look down on live much more comfortably than they do!"

"What kind of big change?What kind of big change?Everyone is gone?Who is gone?" Xu Chen knew that the so-called savage was referring to ordinary people like himself, so he didn't ask.

Abbot Huineng shook his head and said: "It's been too long, and the archives and classics of various domains are also vague about this great change, what caused the upheaval ten thousand years ago, and what changed, no one knows now!"

"Ten thousand years ago?" Xu Chen was a little surprised, but he didn't have much doubt. The theory of civilization cycle theory is not without market in the history of later generations, and Xu Chen still read a lot of these theories that have a slight Taoist idea of the cycle of heaven and earth, and some of them have been deified.

Xu Chen then asked, "Where are they hiding?"

Master Huineng chuckled and said: "God knows! On the sphere of the earth, I am afraid that there are people hiding everywhere, and after the great change, only those dignitaries and dignitaries who can escape must be able to escape, and the vast majority of them have been abandoned! Although there is little hope of surviving, there are still quite a few of them! There are now nearly 100 known domains, large and small! Not counting those that are hidden deep and have not been discovered so far. After all, after so many years, these people have already discovered that the more domains they have contact with the outside world, the worse their living environment will only become, as if they have been infected by the outside world, and there have been a few small domains that have disappeared like this!"

"The abbot actually knows that the earth we are on is a ball?" Xu Chen looked at Master Huineng with wide eyes, although the other party was already very magical, but this kind of geographical common sense in later generations took hundreds of years of accumulation and practice to come to a conclusion! And the other party just said that they were abandoned people, living in a closed environment, how could they dare to come out to explore nature on a large scale? It seems that it should be the knowledge left by the previous civilization!

Xu Chen had a guess in his heart, but unexpectedly, Abbot Huineng replied: "It's not from the predecessors! In ten thousand years, the classics left by those who left behind have long been destroyed, even if there are some left, how can they understand if they don't know how to read?"

Xu Chen blinked his eyes, looked at the self-deprecating abbot Huineng, and then asked, "How did the abbot master know?"

Abbot Huineng smiled and replied, "It's very simple! I'll go out and take a look!"

Xu Chen stood still, his eyes widened, and after a long time, he swallowed deeply and stammered, "Out of ...... Get out...... "Oh my God, Abbot, you've ever been out of the earth?" and you've flown out.

If you want to get out of gravity, you need not a little bit of energy, and Master Huineng actually did it by himself, which is too shocking!

Looking at Xu Chen's shocked appearance, Abbot Huineng laughed self-deprecatingly: "Awesome, what a fart! Even if this ball comes out, what can I do? At first, I thought I was staying in a cage, and I tried every possible way to come out, but after I came out, I found that it was just a bigger cage!"

"Abbot, what are you going out for? Are you looking for the way that your predecessors left?" For the vast starry sky, human beings always have infinite reverie, in the past, they could only get some things relayed by others through books, but now there is a living fossil here, so naturally we have to ask clearly!

"Find a fart! After wandering in the darkness for a hundred years, I finally came to the edge of the starry sky, and I found myself lost! It was a place that had been shrouded in clouds and mist for many years, and after entering, I found that there was nothing inside, and I couldn't even tell the direction! In the end, more than half of the stored spiritual energy bracelet was consumed, and I was about to die inside, so I had no choice but to rely on serious injuries and cultivation to decline, and finally escaped from that ghost place!"

"Then have you been out of the solar system, what is there outside the solar system?" Xu Chen was like a curious schoolchild, looking at Abbot Huineng with his eyes attentive. Later generations' understanding of the outer solar system is only the image seen through the Guò astronomical telescope, and no one knows what is out there!

"What solar system? I don't know, I just know that in that damn place, wherever I am, I can see a big ball of fire flashing brightly or darkly, the same as the sun I've seen beforehand!" replied the abbot Huineng.

"Ah......" Xu Chen shouted disappointedly.

"Eh! That's right! What is the aura bracelet you just said?" Xu Chen's disappointment only stayed for a moment, and then he became excited again, after all, there was so much new knowledge he learned today! This kind of excitement, Xu Chen hadn't experienced it for many years!

"Naturally, it is a thing that stores spiritual energy! The two people who just now also have this thing in their hands! The outside world is called a filthy place, there is not the slightest spiritual energy, for this reason, people from the outside world cannot start the path of cultivation, and those who are hiding in the various domains cannot come out at will, not only does the outside world not have spiritual energy, on the contrary, there is also a deadly toxin, as long as the people in the various domains do not have spiritual energy but come into contact with this toxin, they will die violently in a moment! Only people who are above the foundation building period can resist for a moment, but it is only a short moment!" Master Huineng said.

"Toxin, what toxin, if it is poisonous, why can we survive? Master Abbot doesn't seem to have this so-called aura bracelet on him, right?" Xu Chen stared at Master Huineng's wrist and said.

"I don't know what the toxin is! I haven't found it yet, I guess the original great changes in heaven and earth were caused by this toxin! As for the people in the outside world, they lived in a wild place with scarce spiritual energy, and I must have been used to it after so many years! After all, even I myself have been accustomed to the outside environment over the years, even if I don't have an aura bracelet, it's no big deal, but I can't use my cultivation, and after being seriously injured, the realm is already much worse than before!" Abbot Huineng then explained.

Xu Chen nodded thoughtfully, and said to himself: "In this way, biological evolution! Natural selection, survival of the fittest, only by adapting to the new environment can we survive and come back!"

"No wonder the abbot didn't dare to make a move, it turned out that he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to beat it!" Xu Chen said with a smile after hearing this.

"That's right!" Abbot Huineng said calmly.

"By the way, what kind of realm cultivation did you just mentioned? Is it an immortal technique? Can you fly to outer space like you after learning it?" asked Xu Chen's eyes once again sparkling.

Master Huineng sneered: "This so-called cultivation and realm is just a method of using energy! Just like these martial arts masters in the outside world, they can store the natural energy in themselves and release it when they use it!"

Xu Chen was pleasantly surprised: "Since the principles are the same, do you think I can learn it?"

The pursuit of strength can be said to be every man's natural desire, when he heard Chai Qi say that he had already missed the grade of building the foundation on the boat in East Lake, although he was calm on the surface, he was still a little disappointed in his heart!

Now that I have found a more powerful one, how can I not ask the truth clearly?

Master Huineng looked at Xu Chen coldly, snorted lightly, and said: "This bullshit cultivation path is a road of no return at all! Not to mention that there is not much spiritual energy left in this world at all, it is impossible to make even a cultivator take the step of 'transforming into a god', even if he really enters the transformation period, whether he can finally pass through that misty area is still a matter of two words!"

"Even if you can, are you willing to go on the road alone to pursue the so-called Heavenly Dao, leave behind your relatives and friends, cut off a dusty edge, and be a bullshit fairy who doesn't eat the fireworks of the world?"

Xu Chen's eyes rolled, and then he said softly: "If you can really have the ability to fly to the sky, it's not impossible to think about it!"

"Hmph, don't dream! People in the rivers and lakes practice martial arts and pay attention to their talents, this cultivation is a journey, and they don't want to start without a spiritual root!" Master Huineng sneered.

Xu Chen's heart suddenly suddenly, he looked at Master Huineng, and asked hesitantly, "Then I...... Is there such a spiritual root?"

"Hehe!" Master Huineng's smile made Xu Chen's heart furious, and he really wanted to ask again, but he still listened to Master Huineng's verdict: "No! I've checked it for you several times! I don't even have the inferior Four Spirit Roots! Even if I soak in the aura of Kunlun Mountain, I don't want to have any reaction!"

"What?" Xu Chen's face changed in shock, and he shouted anxiously: "Why don't you help me take a look! Impossible! How can I say that I am also such a person with heavenly powers! Doesn't this mysterious Wanjia Jade Pendant also recognize me? Why don't you even have the worst spiritual root!"

Master Huineng chuckled and said, "If you have a heavenly opportunity, it's because you have an extraordinary background! It's just a coincidence, but this spiritual root is indeed destined!

"Ah...... Don't you want to be so unlucky! You can't practice martial arts, and you can't practice either, can you stop playing with people like this?" Xu Chen complained, and there was indeed great disappointment in his heart at this time.

"What's so unlucky! No spiritual root may be your blessing, I have just said, I can't go on the way of cultivation at all, and I think that this cultivation today is a wrong path, I don't know about the cultivation 10,000 years ago, but many of today's cultivation paths are created by the people who remain, and the original level is not very good, after the drastic changes in heaven and earth, resources are scarce, what good exercises can be created?" Master Huineng said comfortingly.

"Moreover, the origin of this jade pendant of the Wan family is mysterious, maybe what you want should be on it!"

Master Huineng's words suddenly made Xu Chen's dim eyes light up again......
