Volume 1 Ling Yu Zong Chapter 20: The grass is green
"When you have the strength to walk out of this mountain range by yourself, then you will leave, according to your current cultivation, you will not be accepted by some sects to do miscellaneous labor, what are you doing in the mountains?"
These are the original words of the Venerable Master Qingbai, which are very shocking, but what he said is the truth, it is indeed difficult for Ge Zheng, who is only enlightened to the seventh order, to survive alone outside.
"You still have a lot to learn, enlightenment is only the beginning of the practice, the next realm is difficult, you don't know the road ahead, how to walk better. "In the cave, the Venerable Qingbai sat cross-legged on the futon, like a master outside the world.
"I also asked the master to explain it to me, boy. "For the cultivation realm, Ge Zheng really doesn't understand.
"Enlightenment doesn't need to be said, it's just that at the beginning of the practice, you can continue to accumulate, the qi source realm is the path of retrograde enlightenment, when the ten thousand rays of vitality in your body turn into one, it is the peak. ”
Ge Zheng was puzzled: "How to turn one?"
"Melting, blending, enlightenment, abandonment, smelting is more refined, in order to blend with each other, to understand the characteristics of the vitality, in order to abandon useless qi. ”
Ge Zheng seemed to understand, at least these words would save him a lot of detours.
"The realm of Vientiane, the gasification of Vientiane, wind, rain, thunder and lightning, gold, wood, water and fire, all things can be transformed. ”
"Is it conjuring up substance?" asked Ge Zheng humbly.
"What do you think, to conjure up the essence? The realm of spiritual guidance can't do it, know its characteristics, understand its essence, have its form, and get its true meaning, that is, all things. ”
"In other words, the water I conjured up is not water at all, but just has the form and characteristics of water?"
Master Qingbai stroked his beard: "Yes, the little doll's understanding is not bad, and the child can be taught." ”
"What about the future?" Ge Zheng wanted to take this opportunity to learn more about the cultivation realm.
"After Vientiane, it is the spirit guide, the soul is the guide, the soul and the qi are combined, the soul is nourished by the qi, and the self is strengthened, as for the spirit after the introduction, this realm is called Yuan Hua, to this realm, you can gallop across this continent, I have not yet reached this realm, I don't know how to practice. ”
Enlightenment, Qi Source, Vientiane, Lingyin, Yuan Painting, Ge Zheng always felt that something was wrong.
"Reaching the realm of Yuan painting is enough to dominate the world?" Ge Zheng felt that Yuan painting didn't seem to be strong enough, on the way of reincarnation, Zheng Beast speculated that the peak existence of the Yuan and Mongolian realms even had the ability to get rid of reincarnation, how could it be possible to just Yuan painting?
"What's the matter? Do you think it's easy to reach the Yuan Painting Realm? The strongest creature I've seen so far is only the Yuan Painting Realm, as far as I know, there are hundreds of millions of demon beasts living in the vast forest, and there are no more than fifty people who can reach the Yuan Painting Realm, and most of them stay at the first level of Yuan Painting, which is difficult to break through. ”
Ge Zheng felt that this world seemed to be a little small, and it was impossible for the Yuan Painting Realm to get rid of reincarnation.
Could it be that Zheng Beast's speculation is wrong, or is there a secret in the Yuan Painting Realm that Ge Zheng doesn't know?
Under the narration of the Venerable Qingbai, Ge Zheng finally had a comprehensive understanding of this continent, the vast forest is located in the east of the continent, occupying nearly half of the area of the continent, and the west of the continent is mainly occupied by two major sects, Lingyu Sect and Yueyong Sect, and there are many small families and sects in the middle.
On the long road of cultivation, too many creatures have fallen, whether it is a human or a demon beast, it is difficult to reach the realm of Yuan Hua.
What puzzled Ge Zheng the most was the exercises, the yellow-level exercises were already the strongest at present, and the so-called division of heaven and earth Xuanhuang, blue, orange and white seemed to only exist in legends.
According to the speculation of some strong people, the exercises above the yellow level did exist, but they may have disappeared in the long river of history, and it is difficult to find a trace.
And it seems that the Huang-level exercises can only be cultivated to the Yuan Painting Realm, and there has been no existence above the Yuan Painting Realm in this continent for a long time.
There is also a speculation that there is a shortage of heaven and earth, and in the distant past, the strongest may have fought and disabled this continent, resulting in the severance of the inheritance and the difficulty of breaking through the Yuan painting.
Ge Zheng personally prefers the second guess, if this is the case, it would be too sad, that is to say, there used to be supreme powerhouses in the Yuanmeng realm, but now the environment of the Yuanmeng realm can no longer raise such a strong person.
In the following days, Ge Zheng followed the Venerable Master Qingbai in the cave to practice and study every day, and in the blink of an eye, half a year had passed.
It was still the height of summer when we entered the mountain, and the trees were lush and green, but it was already midwinter and snow-capped.
In the past six months, Ge Zheng has learned a lot of knowledge, demon beasts, medicines, spiritual materials, and yuan weapons.
Cultivation has also reached the ninth order of enlightenment, and now he can absorb forty yuan qi every day, and breaking through the tenth order of enlightenment is just around the corner.
Although they were not masters and apprentices, Ge Zheng had already regarded Master Qingbai as a master in his heart.
In the past half a year, Ge Zheng has already swept hundreds of miles in a radius, and few ordinary demon beasts can threaten his existence.
Ge Zheng had already made up his mind, and when spring dawned, he would say goodbye to the Qingbai Venerable Master and head deeper into the mountain range, where the demon beasts in this area could no longer pose a threat to him.
Rubbing a piece of warm jade pendant, Ge Zheng was very emotional, half a year of getting along, the Master Qingbai not only taught him, but also took great care of Ge Zheng, the jade pendant in Ge Zheng's hand was specially refined by the Master Qingbai for him, and the jade pendant left the soul imprint of the Master Qingbai, as long as Ge Zheng activated the jade pendant within 10,000 miles, the Master Qingbai could perceive it.
Ge Zheng had mastered all the swordsmanship, but he couldn't use it without a flying sword.
Walking among the snow-capped rocks, Ge Zheng felt that he had never lived so fully.
Every day he is practicing and fighting with demon beasts, in half a year, he has overturned all the demon beasts in this area, he was once bitten by a powerful blue-eyed lion king and died, he was also pierced through the chest by a brown antelope with a sheep's horn and almost died, and finally these powerful demon beasts died under the thunder in his palm.
Staying by the side of the Venerable Master Qingbai will not encounter any danger, but how can he transform without experiencing the hardships of life and death?
Ge Zheng did not hide the palm thunder, and even told the Master Qingbai all the details of the palm thunder, and he felt that the Master Qingbai deserved such a reward.
However, Master Qingbai could not cultivate the palm thunder, no matter how he condensed, the Bagua Diagram would dissipate by itself at the moment it was formed, just like when Ge Zheng first condensed the Bagua Diagram.
After many attempts, the Venerable Qingbai came to the conclusion that the Bagua Diagram was an existence isolated from this heaven and earth, and perhaps the Bagua Diagram in other worlds did have unfathomable power, but it was not recognized in this world, and as for why Ge Zheng could use it, the Venerable Qingbai could not guess.
Palm Thunder has become Ge Zheng's unique Yuan Technique, and even if others know it, they can't use it.
In the past six months, if it weren't for the care of Master Qingbai, Lei Ge Zheng didn't know how many times he had died in order to test his palm.
Hundreds of years of seclusion in the mountains, sometimes the Qingbai Master will be very verbose, verbose and disgusting, but Ge Zheng listens silently every time.
Teacher, preach and teach to solve doubts.
In every respect, Master Qingbai is a qualified master, but Ge Zheng can't call him master.
Time always passes inadvertently.
The snow has not yet melted, the chill in the air is still biting, and the first spring rain has come unexpectedly.
The two of them, who did not have the status of master and apprentice, sat side by side in front of the door of the cave, looking at the drizzle, and the Venerable Qingbai, who was extremely verbose on weekdays, did not even speak.
The two sat all day, without speaking, quietly watching the drizzle fall, the snow melting, and the grass green.
When night fell, Ge Zheng was about to speak, but the Venerable Qingbai took the lead.
"Got your mind?"
Ge Zheng nodded, his eyes looking at the sprouts that seemed to be absent in the distance.
"Since you've decided, let's do it, and eat another hot pot with me before leaving. ”
In the past six months, Ge Zheng knew that Master Qingbai loved food, so he used some of the methods used on the earth to process ingredients.
On the cyan stone table, a charcoal fire burns in the copper pot, and the melting snow brings a sweet mountain spring, combined with the spices carefully selected by the two in the mountains, so that the bottom of the pot is full of fragrance.
Under the sharp flying sword, the brown antelope meat was cut as thin as cicada wings, and all kinds of green vegetables were also processed just right, and the only regret was the lack of sesame paste.
The steam rises, and the slices of meat are quickly scalded, with a spicy flavor in the mouth.
The meat of the brown antelope is very flexible, and it tastes better than all the meat that Ge Zheng has eaten in his previous life, but with such a delicacy in front of him, Ge Zheng's mood is not very good.
The Venerable Master took out a jar of wine and carefully unsealed it.
"In this world, only food and wine can not be disappointed, old man, I have learned a lot of things in my life, but I can't make wine, I don't bring much wine, do you want to have some little doll?"
"Pour me full!" Ge Zheng drank for the first time after coming to the Yuanmeng realm.
One bite down, a spicy rush straight to the throat.
The Venerable Master picked up the bowl and drank it all.
"Little doll, are you okay? don't spoil my good wine, old man. ”
Ge Zheng, who refused to admit defeat, picked up the wine bowl and drank it all, the spicy spread to his whole body, and his head began to feel groggy.
"Don't drink it, don't drink it, what kind of inferior wine are you, it's not spicy. ”
"Hahaha......" the Master laughed heartily.
The two of them ate this meal for a long time, until late at night, when the drizzle subsided, and the biting chill seemed to dissipate a lot.
Looking at Master Qingbai, Ge Zheng felt that he was too cruel, the old man had not been in contact with the outside world for hundreds of years, and he had only been with him for more than half a year before leaving.
"Old man, I don't want to leave, I'll stay here with you. Ge Zheng yelled.
"Get out, how far is it for Lao Tzu, how far is it, old man, I am very comfortable here alone. ”
Ge Zheng couldn't control his tears, all that came to his mind was the image of the Venerable Qingbai taking care of him every time he was dying.
"Manly man, crying like a girl. ”
"Old man, wait for me here, I will return soon, and when the time comes, I will take you out of this deep mountain, no matter how dangerous the outside world is, I will take you to eat all the food and taste the wine." ”
"The little doll is blowing the air, okay, old man, I'm waiting for this day. ”
Master Qingbai was drunk, evoking endless memories, he had spent most of his life in the deep mountains and old forests, he was really looking forward to the day when he left the Wanli Mountain Range, he felt that he had almost forgotten what the human city looked like.
