Chapter 955: City Lord?
Part of the reason why Luo Fan has such an idea is because he himself has a considerable understanding of the realm above the middle and quasi-sainthood, even if it is the method of sanctification, he is not unaware. With his self-confidence in himself, he naturally suspected that that kind of method was only imagined by the Zhongcheng Quasi-Sanctuary, and it was not the real method.
And beyond that, there is a more important reason.
That is, if these specific and subtle methods are really true and can be followed, then how can this quasi-saint still be only a mid-level quasi-saint?
Obviously, this is not the case, this Zhongcheng quasi-saint is still only the realm of Zhongcheng, still only equivalent to the Taoist, still just beheading the two corpses, and can still only enjoy the mystery of being a saint in a dream.
Under such circumstances, how could Luo Fan really believe in these methods?
However, this did not mean that Luo Fan could not benefit from the cultivation methods in this dream world.
On the contrary, the benefits he could gain in this dream world would be incredible.
There is no other reason, because although the realm of the path of attaining quasi-sainthood is the same as that of the one who is in the same path, it is the same as the one that is equivalent to the peak of the one who is in harmony with the path, and is only one step away from being able to break through to the realm of the transcendent.
That is to say, at this moment, Luo Fan is only close to the realm of the Tao of Xiaocheng, and there is still a gap between the three small realms of Xiaocheng, Dacheng, and Consummation in terms of the quasi-saint of the dream world.
Obviously, the various cultivation methods in the dream world that came out of this quasi-saint creation zào, except for the imaginary ones that he could not understand, the others, all the things below his realm of Taoism, were the same as the various realizations in the depths of his memory.
That is to say. Luo Fan is able to use all kinds of methods, all kinds of mysteries, and all kinds of truths in this dream world. Elevating one's own realm of pathways to the same level as that of the quasi-saints in this realm, that is, it is possible to raise one's realm of pathways to the level of consummation of one's realm.
Such a gain is not a big one, but what else is a big one?
All kinds of thoughts flashed in his heart, Luo Fan already had a deep understanding of this fact, and he couldn't help but show a faint smile on his face.
With a thought in his heart, Luo Fan put down the book that described the principles of the formation path. He turned around and left the library.
When he stepped out of this library hall, the captain of the soldiers who came to block him when he entered the city did not know how long he had been waiting here, and as soon as he saw him, he immediately came forward to salute and said, "Sir stay, the city lord is waiting in the city lord's mansion at this time, and I hope that the sir will not hesitate to see him." ”
When Luo Fan heard this, he couldn't help but smile. But I roughly guessed what the city lord was going to say. However, he also had something to find the city lord, and he didn't shirk it, saying, "It's okay." You lead the way. ”
The captain of the soldier was in a state of anxiety, and suddenly heard Luo Fan's agreement, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "Thank you, sir." ”
As he spoke, he led Luo Fan across several streets to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.
When I arrived here, I saw that there were two teams of soldiers lined up on both sides at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, and a middle-aged man who had surpassed the Innate Da Luo, but had not yet been destroyed, was standing in the middle of the two teams of soldiers, as if he was waiting for something. Greeted by something.
As soon as Luo Fan saw this middle-aged man, he saw through the reality inside and outside, and knew that he must be the city lord of this city.
Sure enough, as soon as the middle-aged man saw Luo Fan, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed. Said: "Thank you seniors for coming to appreciate your face, the kid is the lord of the city, named Zhang Yuan, I miss the welcome, and I hope that the seniors will forgive the sins." ”
This city advocate Yuan put his position very low, and his respect for Luo Fan was even much stronger than that of the soldier captain.
When the captain of the soldier saw that the city lord was like this, his expression changed slightly, but it was not because he felt embarrassed that his city lord had put his status so low, but because he felt a little panicked because he had been so disrespectful to Luo Fan before, and even disrespectful twice in a row.
"There is no need to be polite, I took the liberty to come, but it made it difficult for Zhang City Lord. Luo Fan smiled slightly and said.
The city lord hurriedly shook his head and said, "This is the kid's poor hospitality, the seniors have been here for a month, and the kid has never gone to visit, although it is because he is worried about disturbing the seniors to read, but it is also unreasonable." ”
Luo Fan smiled and said, "How can there be so many courtesies, this meeting is just right, but I have something to ask City Lord Zhang." ”
The city lord hurriedly said: "If the kid is a little able to help the seniors, the seniors only give orders." But this is the doorway, why don't you sit down with me and talk about it?"
"It's fine. Luo Fan was naturally indispensable, and with a sigh, he followed that Zhang Yuan into the City Lord's Mansion. The two guards followed suit, leaving only two soldiers at the door.
This city lord's mansion is quite grand, and it exudes an aura similar to that of the entire city, which obviously has an extremely close and mysterious connection with this city. The structure of the entire city lord's mansion is a garden-like structure, and there is a garden at the entrance, which has rockeries, streams, and all kinds of exotic flowers and plants.
Behind the garden, there is a large living room, with various side rooms on both sides.
That Zhang Yuan led Luo Fan into the living room. After some excuses, the guests and hosts were divided, and the city lord said: "The kid invited the seniors to come this time, it's really a reluctant invitation, I don't know if the seniors can let the kid talk first." ”
When Luo Fan looked at his appearance, he knew that his previous guess was probably seven or eight points true. Otherwise, he wouldn't be in such a hurry to say his request before he could speak.
However, he doesn't care, no matter when he says it, his decision will not change. Therefore, he just nodded and motioned for Zhang Yuan to speak, but it didn't make him have to work in vain.
Zhang Yuan saw Luo Fan like this, and a look of frustration appeared in his eyes, obviously knowing that things would not go as he wanted, but he still cheered up, opened his mouth and said: "The boy has been the city lord of this city for more than 30,000 years, and when he comes in, he feels that his strength is no longer difficult to improve, but it restricts the future of this city, and his predecessor is a quasi-saint master." The strength is hundreds of millions of times stronger than the kid, and the kid is willing to give the position of the city lord to his seniors, and I hope that the seniors will accept it!"
As he spoke, Zhang Yuan stood up. He was going to kneel down to Luo Fan.
When Luo Fan heard this, as he guessed, this Zhang Yuan really wanted to invite himself to be the lord of the city, sighed, raised his hand, and Zhang Yuan couldn't kneel no matter how hard he tried, and his face turned red. but his body was as straight as wood.
At this moment, Luo Fan's power has been suppressed by the sage's decree to the same level as this Zhang Yuan City Lord, and the divine power that can be exerted cannot surpass Zhang Yuan.
However, after all, he is a co-path, the ability of the co-path to control power, the co-ordination's cognition of the avenue, and the understanding of power. None of them can be compared with Zhang Yuan. Therefore, even if the strength and power that can be exerted will not be half stronger than Zhang Yuan, Luo Fan can still easily restrain Zhang Yuan. So that he could not kneel.
Even, in this process, the power he used was only an insignificant trace, not to mention compared to himself, even compared to Zhang Yuan, it was also a force that could be almost ignored.
Zhang Yuan worked hard for a long time, knowing that the gap between himself and the seniors in front of him was too big and too big, unless he completely turned his face and harnessed the power of the city itself to fight, he would definitely not be able to kneel down again. I couldn't help but sigh and bow instead.
Seeing that Zhang Yuan was still not giving up, Luo Fan shook his head and said, "Being a city lord, this is not what I want. ”
"The kid had expected it, but he was still lucky. Let the seniors laugh. Zhang Yuan sighed helplessly and said.
The reason why this Zhang Yuan must invite Luo Fan to be the city lord is very simple, it is because of the rules in this dream world. In the dream world, because of the existence of the sage's decree, no monk in any city can exert more power than the city lord and exert supernatural power beyond the city lord. Even if it is the existence of the pinnacle of quasi-sainthood, it is no exception.
In such a situation, the realm of the city lord's Taoism is the biggest restriction on the development of the city.
After all, using a saint's decree to suppress one's own practices is something that no monk would like. It can even be said that for the vast majority of monks, this is an insult, a kind of torture.
Therefore, the results are obvious. In any city, there are very few monks who surpass the city lord to enter it. That is to say, just like the small city in front of you, it is very rare for a monk of this quasi-saint level to come here. In this way, if the creatures in this city have the ambition to surpass the city lord, they can only leave this city and go to other cities to seek enlightenment.
In this way, the city will become a strong city, and it will become stronger and stronger because of the continuous addition of talents. And the city major is relatively weak, such as the small city in front of you, because of the loss of talents, it will become weaker and weaker. And because this small city is getting weaker and weaker, there will be fewer and fewer people with strong cultivation, which in turn will make it more and more difficult for the cultivation of the city lord who has lost communication with the monks of the same level to improve, and in the end, it will make it more difficult for this small city to grow, and the loss of talents will be even more, forming a vicious circle.
In this case, the lord of the city, whose affection for the city is greater than his ambition, will want to have a stronger monk come and replace him as the lord of the city.
Even, this is not only good for the city, but also for himself. After all, the city lord was stronger than him, so as long as he was given some guidance, he would naturally be able to make a lot of progress in his Dao realm.
In such a situation, it is natural that the Zhang Yuan Club in front of him has such a request.
The reason why he was so eager to interrupt Luo Fan's words and say such a request first is self-evident. Luo Fan obviously couldn't take the initiative to be the city lord of this small city, so what he could tell himself could only be about other cities, or some secrets that only the city lord knew. And as long as he said this, then it directly indicated that he was leaving here, where could he still make such a request to let him stay and be the lord of the city?
After sighing, Zhang Yuan's expression was a little stunned.
Luo Fan couldn't help but sigh slightly when he saw his expression, knowing that this Zhang Yuan must have quite deep feelings for this small city, and only in this way would he care so much about his rejection of his request.
As the thoughts in his heart turned, he changed his original mind and said, "Originally, I wanted to ask you which city has the largest library in the city. ”
Zhang Yuan heard the original words, the light in his eyes lit up slightly, and something called hope flashed out again in his eyes.
Since there is a original, it means that it will be different now.
"Isn't it? The seniors are willing to come and be the lord of this city?!" Hope flashed in Zhang Yuan's heart, and he opened his mouth and said.
"No, no, no. Luo Fan shook his head and smiled.
"This ......" Zhang Yuan was disappointed again when he heard it.
"What you are asking for is that the city lord's Dao realm can be higher than now, isn't it?" Luo Fan smiled when he saw that he was disappointed. Asked.
"Exactly. Zhang Yuan thought of something, and hope flashed in his eyes.
"In that case, then I'll instruct you and improve your Dao realm, isn't it?" Luo Fan said.
When Zhang Yuan heard this, a look of disbelief appeared on his face, and he opened his mouth. Said: "That's right......
At this moment, his heart was full of indescribable surprises, this kind of surprise, even if Luo Fan suddenly said that he was willing to stay here and be the city lord, it was far less than what happened.
The reason is very simple, he invited Luo Fan to come and be the city lord, just because his own Dao realm can no longer make progress, which restricts the city's ascension. It's a last resort. In fact, he was still very reluctant to give up the position of city lord in his heart. It's only because of the feelings for this city that I have suppressed this reluctance, so I have to do it.
And if, as Luo Fan said, he instructed himself and improved his Dao realm, then not only did he not have to lose the position of the city lord, but the future of the city could also be improved, and his Dao realm, which had not made progress for a long time, could also gain a long-lost promotion, which was countless times better than giving up the position of the city lord, where could he not be surprised?
But. After all, this Zhang Yuan is already a powerful existence that surpasses the innate Da Luo, and his Dao heart is extremely stable, although it is a surprise and indescribable, he still reacted quickly, knelt down and bowed to Luo Fan, and said in his mouth: "Thank you for your mercy." Zhang Yuan will never forget the great kindness and virtue of his predecessors, and he hopes that his predecessors will leave their names, so that Zhang Yuan will remember them. ”
Luo Fan let Zhang Yuan kneel down, and only after he finished speaking, did he help him up and said, "It's just a gesture, but it's not much kindness." However, it is not difficult to get my name, and when you break through the realm in front of you, I will tell you my name. ”
Preaching and teaching, allowing Zhang Yuan to break through the realm and obtain the improvement of the essence of life, this is a gesture for Luo Fan, but it is a shocking kindness for Zhang Yuan, and he is naturally qualified to be worshiped by Zhang Yuan.
"Yes. Zhang Yuanding works hard to practice, and he will definitely be able to meet the requirements of his predecessors and know the names of his predecessors. Zhang Yuan didn't dare to say more, so he could only stand up and say so.
Next, Luo Fan settled in this small city called Tiger Hidden City.
Moreover, once you live, it is a hundred years.
In the past hundred years, he has practiced by himself, comprehending the rules and laws of this dream world, and understanding the avenue in the underworld, so that he can exert more and more powerful supernatural power in this dream world, so that his own strength can be better displayed here.
On the other hand, he was just as he said at the beginning, pointing Zhang Yuan, so that Zhang Yuan's Dao realm could be steadily improved.
Among them, in these years, he has almost thoroughly understood the rules and laws of this world, sensed the avenue in the underworld, and combined the Dao realm of his own Daoist into the mysteries of this dream world, so that he can fully exert the powerful power of his own Daoist in this world.
As for Zhang Yuan's guidance, the results are also quite gratifying.
Zhang Yuan's cultivation was the most popular formation path in this dream world.
This kind of method is not what ordinary people think, just like the experts of the Haoshou Poor Sutra to study the subtleties of the formation, but through guò constantly comprehending the subtleties of the formation, and gradually reconstructing itself into a formation.
As long as the formation that is constructed into the body is more subtle and powerful, the body and strength of those who practice the way of the formation will be stronger.
Of course, this does not mean that as long as you obtain more and more powerful formations, you can make the Dao Xing realm continue to improve.
In fact, when the cultivation reached the peak of the Innate Great Luo Realm, the formations mastered, in terms of quantity and subtlety, were already enough to cultivate the path of the formation. At that time, even if he mastered a more subtle, mysterious, and complicated formation, or even engraved more of that formation on his body, he would no longer be of any help to the improvement of the Dao realm.
The consequence of doing that, at most, is only to make the body and strength stronger.
Before he met Luo Fan, Zhang Yuan was already in that realm, and the formation he mastered, the formation that changed his body, had reached the limit, and he could no longer promote his Dao realm to improve.
After reaching this realm, what you need to do is no longer to increase the formation, no longer to change the body into a formation, but on the contrary, to integrate the formation, retransform the formation that the body has changed, re-evolve, and finally create a brand-new, most suitable formation for yourself, and directly transform your own body into such a formation, so that you can make a breakthrough in the realm of Taoism and finally step into the realm of quasi-saints......)
