Chapter 221: Tribulation
Sure enough, when this young man heard the immortal master's question, his mouth was like a river dam with an opening, and he didn't stop for a moment, and told him about some of the lively places he knew and the large shops and auction buildings in Tianhe City one by one, and even some famous restaurants and teahouses were described as having nothing in the sky and in the ground, which made Gu Xiaowu have the urge to go and see it in his heart.
There are not only restaurants, restaurants and teahouses in the capital, but also all kinds of restaurants and schools where singing and dancing are leveled, and there are many more places than ordinary cities, of course, there are many luxurious and erosive places, and all kinds of desires in people's hearts have found a home here, which makes Gu Xiaowu surprised.
He also knew that although the monks had the intention of cultivating immortals and asking questions, the distracting thoughts in their hearts would not be completely wiped out because they had practiced for a few years, and those exercises were used to enhance mana and improve cultivation, and after the cultivation strength increased, the various desires in his heart would also swell. Think about it, those monks began to enter the monastery at the age of five to practice the exercises, and at that time, they would also chant some Taoist scriptures every day to stabilize their Taoist hearts, but with the improvement of their cultivation, many monks gave up this habit of chanting every day and only cared about improving their mana and cultivating. And when the cultivation reaches a certain level, it is difficult for him to enter an inch, and he begins to release the desire that has been suppressed for many years, and the sect will still be constrained by the door rules, but the city where the scattered cultivation is located is not restricted, and those cities with only Tuoji minor monks can't see anything, but the capital city with a mixture of dragons and snakes shows their desires to the fullest. According to the information in Xiao Wu's hand, the upper courtyard of the sect allowed this kind of desire expression in the capital, and secretly allowed disciples to release their desires in the city, which is also a reason why tens of thousands of monks enter and leave the capital every day.
Gu Xiaowu is also an ordinary monk, although he has a firm heart for the Tao, he also has his own selfish desires, but he rarely shows them. Maybe he was afraid of suffering and starving when he was a child, but his desire for food was actually very strong, and now eating more than a dozen elixirs a day tortured his appetite, so that he couldn't confide in the bitter water in his stomach. may be because he has a miraculous floating life, has a million-year-old longevity, and also has an immortal diagram that collects all treasures, but he is not strong in possessiveness of property, and he is not interested in forming forces to control power, but he hides a desire for friendship and family affection, and he has a deep love for Kou Yuhuan. But he has gone through all kinds of tribulations, and he has already begun to enter the Tao to comprehend the mysteries of heaven and earth, and he has a strong ability to control the desires in his heart, and at this time, his cultivation has not yet reached the point where he cannot make progress, so he has not wasted time on other desires.
When passing by a famous restaurant teahouse, Gu Xiaowu deliberately observed outside, it was really very lively, and it felt like a mortal restaurant, the four-storey building was full of monks with different cultivations, and they all sat around the table drinking tea and chatting, and they all looked like they were listening to the story of the old man sitting in the teahouse. The carriage didn't stop, Xiao Wuye just flashed past the street in front of the teahouse, and what he didn't know was that the glance just now caused a lot of waves.
A woman in white in the private room of the teahouse was originally drinking tea and listening to a female companion chatting, but suddenly there was a soft sound on her body, and the aura of heaven and earth around her body became irritable because of it, and she seemed to be in a fight. Such an obvious reaction immediately interrupted the companion who was talking, and he was also surprised, and his face changed drastically, and he took out a white jade flute in his arms. At this time, the jade flute did not move, but the spiritual light flow above was the manifestation of the automatic activation not long ago, and just now, his mind seemed to be touched, and he actually had a nervous feeling that he was about to face the catastrophe of life and death.
"Senior sister, what's wrong with you? Is it?" Although the female companion on the side of the girl in white looked forty or fifty years old, she called the girl senior sister as soon as she opened her mouth, and she was surprised at this time.
"Sooner or later, I've been waiting for more than two thousand years, and if I don't come again, I really have to doubt whether my cultivation is proper, but since this kind of thing has happened, you can go back and tell the master about the situation here, and I will stay here to find the reason for the calamity." The woman in white looked quite calm, but the hand holding the jade flute proved that her heart was not so calm. The exercises she chose to practice back then were quite special, called the Shadow Xuanyin Decision, and the heaven and earth calamities that she needed to face after entering the Dao and realizing the Dharma were also rare in the world. Now that the calamity on her body has been touched, it means that the person she is looking for is nearby, and she naturally has to find out it before she can prepare for the calamity, and what kind of calamity her fellow calamity is must also be known by seeing the person who caused the calamity.
Gu Xiaowu used two spirit stones to send away the young man who was looking forward to it, he had to digest the collected information and information before planning the rest of the matter, but he would not run around in a carriage every day, let alone have the idea of seeing it around, of course, he didn't have to call a carriage every day. Watching the excited teenager drive away, he began to look for a satisfactory place to live in a nearby inn, and finally found an inn in the middle of nowhere, and rented a small attic by himself. He was very satisfied with the inside and outside of the attic, although the rent of a year is 10,000 spirit stones, but the environment here is not bad, and it is relatively quiet, in addition to the cultivation secret room, there is also an alchemy room and a refining room, which is more well-equipped than his own cave, and the entire attic is shrouded by a powerful forbidden magic circle alone, you can practice in it without worrying about being disturbed.
He chose a secret room as his cultivation place, and immediately took out the information and information he had collected today, and after some classification, he first checked the information about the Tianzhu Academy Mission, which was one of the important reasons why he came here.
The Mingwu Mountain of Tianzhu Temple is located in the northeast of the Tiandu Mountain Range, and the Mingwu Taoist Hall above is a Taoist hall set up by Tianzhu Temple, which is used to receive monks from all over the world who come to seek Taoism. Of course, it is not a place that can be entered casually, you must have a letter of recommendation from the four major branches to enter it, and the people cultivated in it are the most outstanding disciples under the jurisdiction of the entire Tianzhu Academy, and they are either selected by the Tianzhu Academy as a reserve force in the end, or they will be arranged to become the administrators of the four branches and the sects below, no matter what is the existence beyond the reach of most monks. Xiao Wu was not surprised by this, the person who could be sent there to practice the Dao Fa is said to be not a real genius and a guy with a deep background who will be in charge of the power in the future, there are not many people who rely on the contribution of the sect to enter it, and it is very rare for the sect to be willing to leave the letter of recommendation to himself, if other sects would have secretly withheld it a long time ago. It is not explained how the Enlightenment Daoist Hall of the Heavenly Punishment Academy cultivates disciples, but there are a lot of rumors about the consumption of resources in it, and many forces have set up contact points here to provide resource support for those Heavenly Prides, which is already a well-known thing.
Of course, if you want to cultivate, you need a lot of resources to support, this Gu Xiaowu understands very well, he is the kind of guy who can't move an inch without cultivation resources, no matter whether he enters the Dao Hall or not, his cultivation will consume a lot of resources.
He now has more than 32 million spirit stones in his hand, eight fifth-order demon pills and some cherished cultivation materials, which is a lot, if he sells the cultivation materials that he can't use in his hand, then it is estimated that he can exchange them for hundreds of millions of spirit stones, although the light red crystals refined with blood pattern beads were left in the immortal map in the secret realm last time, but before he came out of the secret realm, he contained six bags of blood condensation essence soil, plus a part of the ore vein he got from the previous minerals, this is definitely a lot of wealth, and it should be enough to deal with the expenses in the hallใ
Gu Xiaowu secretly calculated the years and months, and found that there were still forty years before the next Daoist Hall received disciples, which was enough time for him to continue to find some information about Mingwu Mountain and prepare to condense spirits and refine magic weapons. Refining magic weapons is something he must prepare before entering the gym, otherwise he will always face a large number of Cheng Dan stage existences inside, and he will not be able to survive without some means in his hands, of course, he has a lot of other information and intelligence to collect and process during this time, and the trading conference also does not want to miss it.
