"Taitu" is a cultivation permit in the cultivation world, which means "the nine-layer platform, starting from the soil", which is the foundation and necessary process of cultivation. From the day Yun Fei agreed to enter the night wolf, Ye Weiyang began to give him a "Taiwan soil" certificate, and it has been half a year, Yun Fei almost forgot about it, and it came down silently.

"The efficiency of the 'repair and management office' is 'high' enough?" Yun Fei sneered without sparing.

"The repair and management office needs to be reported to the national capital, approved and produced in the national capital, and then issued. Normally, it would have been done in three months, but this time I heard that there was a problem in the Sunset Forest, and it was impossible to get through, so everyone who passed through there had to take a detour, so it was delayed for a few months. ”

"Sunset Forest? What about Sunset Town......" Yun Fei touched his chin thoughtfully, and naturally thought of the girl he met yesterday - Yun Indi. "If I'm not mistaken, Sunset is the entrance to the Sunset Forest, right?"

"One of the entrances, and the most famous." Ye Weiyang nodded, "The Sunset Forest is the largest forest in the world, and the elixirs, natural treasures, and spirit beasts in it are quite abundant, so there are a large number of mercenaries, and the family army goes in to collect resources, some bring them back, and some sell them on the spot in Sunset Town, which makes that place mixed, good and bad." ”

"Good and bad...... Yun Fei's heart moved, in this way, is it really possible for Yun Indi'er to be a spirit beast incarnation? But he didn't want Ye Weiyang to see what was on his mind, so he immediately changed the topic. "You just said that there is a problem in the Sunset Forest, and everyone who passes by will have to take a detour, it won't be ...... Spirit beasts rioted, right? ”

"It's more tricky than the spirit beast riot, I heard that there was a vision, the mountains and rivers were broken, the big rivers were broken, and the spread was divine." Ye Weiyang's tone was not solemn, and he frowned. "In the same way, that is also a necessary way to the Unnamed Sect, aren't you going to the Unnamed Sect?"

"Don't talk about the Weiming Sect," Yun Fei heard the mountain and water cut off, and suddenly had a bad feeling, and asked. "Where did the earthquake lead to?"

"Guodu, I told you before that the local repair and management office should report to the national capital for approval, isn't it delayed this time?"

At that moment, Yun Fei felt not only surprise, but also a sense of horror that penetrated deep into the bone marrow. On the one hand, he felt a little like crying because his hometown was close at hand, but on the other hand, he also knew that if he was brought here because of a "conspiracy", those people would be able to estimate his location and would not let him go back so easily.

Even after half a year, he has gone from a layman to a cultivator who has been involved in cultivation, but he still can't figure out why he still doesn't know why he was inexplicably passed over, it stands to reason that she has never had anything to do with a cultivator, let alone be revenged, the only thing related to cultivation is Luo Qinghan, the eldest son of the Luo family, his eldest brother, who has a place in the Lingyun Sect, one of the three sects.

"How long ago?"

"Half a year ago, it was probably around you who were in the night wolf, and there was a loud noise over there, and a few days later, some strong cultivators went to explore, and the news came back that a mountain that crossed the earth had broken and become a canyon; One

The great river where thousands of rivers converge is shattered and becomes an abyss. As the saying goes, if the mountains and rivers are cut off, there will be a catastrophe; Heaven and earth have not moved, this is an evil heart. ”

"What do you mean?"

"The folk saying is that the mountains and rivers are rerouted, if there are no natural phenomena such as sky collapse and land subsidence, it can only be said to be man-made......"

"Do you think it's artificial......" Yun Fei groaned, but Ye Weiyang quickly patted him on the shoulder. Don't worry, my brother said that he would send you to Weimingjiao, and he will definitely not be late, don't look at his health in spring, summer and autumn, but when it comes to winter, when the first snow falls, that is his peak. ”

Yun Fei heard him say Ye Yan, smiled wryly, made an excuse and turned around and went back to the house. Ye Yan, the leader of the Night Wolf Mercenary Group, he didn't want to mention him, it wasn't that Ye Yan didn't treat him well, but in this person, Yun Fei could keenly feel that in some places he was a little different from others.

He returned to his door, opened two locks, and waved his hand to unlock two invisible prohibitions, and then pushed the door in.

Yun Di'er stayed in the house honestly, but the thick black ink had already painted half of the room. The girl sat stupidly at the desk holding the brush, and when she heard them open, she raised her head, called "Yunfei", and laughed heartlessly.

Yun Fei's eyes followed the thick ink and ran all over the room, regretting in his heart why he wanted to teach her to write on a whim, a woman is virtuous if she is not talented!

"You...... Hey, that's it. Yun Fei held his forehead, and with his other hand he held on to the door frame to prevent himself from falling over. He sat on the edge of his desk and looked at the ink-colored rice paper that Yun Di'er had triumphantly raised. "What is this?"

"Mama." Yun Di'er pointed to a black mass and shouted, Yun Fei felt that if she was a puppy, she should have already started wagging her tail.

"Where's this?" Yun Fei asked, pointing to another black thing.

"Me, Yun Indi." The girl shouted happily, as loudly as a lark.

"What are you...... What ...... a ball" Yun Fei frowned and brought the "family photo" under his nose. A big, small lump of black ink gives him a headache to look at, this girl can't be a ball, right?

"Where's Daddy?"

"Poop?" Yun Di'er tilted her head and looked at Yun Fei with a puzzled expression.

"Dad, Mom, Yun Indi." Yun Fei drew three circles with a pen, and by the way, he told her about the origin of the person.

"Ah...... Baba! Yun Di'er was silent for a moment, then suddenly exclaimed, pointing at Yun Fei and her eyes widened.

"Don't, don't scream!" Yunfei gave a "Dad" call and hurriedly told her to shut up.

"Baba, baba! Yunfei - Baba! Yun Di'er seemed to be drawn by a schematic diagram, and felt that Yun Fei was definitely 100% related to her.

"Don't, don't scream! Shut up, don't scream! Yun Fei murdered her, she was not afraid, he was so embarrassed, he quickly left the girl behind, and rushed out of the door in embarrassment.

In the afternoon, Ye Weiyang came to him as promised, but he looked

The man sat on the steps in front of his house with a sad face, sighing and shaking his head.

Before the sentence of "Why did you ......" was asked, Yunfei hurriedly nervously said "shhh The people in the house seemed to hear something, walked to the door, tentatively called out the soft and glutinous "baba", listened attentively for a while, and then went back.

"Little lover?" Ye Weiyang laughed exaggeratedly and silently as if he had caught Yunfei's handle. Yun Fei hurriedly "shh

"Yes, Xiaoyunzi, full score for women's fate?" Ye Weiyang teased him, and Yunfei gave him a kick as usual.

"What kind of woman? Didn't you hear her chasing me and shouting 'Daddy'? ”

"I understand your hobby, there are quite a few people who like to let the following call dad when they are doing errands." Ye Weiyang smiled lewdly.

"What...... ......Yun Fei's ears were a little red again, but he immediately got angry and kicked out with a big foot. "Can your mind be a little healthier?"

"It's all the healthiest, I haven't told you the picture yet......"

"Don't mention the picture! Shut up! Don't speak! ”

The repair office is not close to the night wolf headquarters, and it is noon, the afternoon of September is hot and dry, one of them took a steaming ice cream, licked it while walking, sometimes chatting, sometimes arguing, Ye Weiyang also told him a lot of "non-practical knowledge".

"According to the system, you have to lead the Taiwan soil first, and then you can practice, but in Qingchuan, the emperor is far away, so he doesn't follow those dead rules, we generally practice first, and then run the Taiwan soil. But there are some rules that cannot be moved, such as walking outside, without the soil, can only be regarded as mortals, once the means of cultivators are used, they are called cultivators. Any cultivator is qualified to kill him. ”

"Kill......" He suddenly thought of Yunfei's small hut and the raging fire that he could feel even when he fainted after being soul-passed. At that time, it was the jade lingzhi that saved his life, and the white jade-colored plant finally became his companion.

"But there is also a system in the cultivation world, otherwise, the cultivators will be more arrogant than the other, and they will not be able to coexist with mortals at all." Ye Weiyang saw that he was silent and explained. "Cultivators can't do without mortals, because no cultivator wants to actually go to the land to grow food. Cultivators are not so much a type of person as a profession – a profession that uses cultivation as a means, and there are many people who use cultivation to earn money and make a living, and there are many more people who forget the purpose of cultivation and its purpose is to surpass human beings. ”

"Beyond humans?" Yunfei is strange. "Aren't cultivators from mortals?"

"So to achieve transcendence." Ye Weiyang nodded. "Cultivation allows us to surpass mortals, but this is not enough. The ultimate goal of cultivation is to surpass human beings. Cover up all human weaknesses, fragility, incompetence...... Mainly, there are also life limitations. ”

"The Limitation of Life...... Phoenix? Yunfei asked uncertainly.

"Yes, Immortal." Ye Weiyang was very sure, and even his eyes flashed with determination. "The extension of life, the evasion of time

Erosion, even—immortality, this is the pursuit of human beings since ancient times, and it is also our pursuit, and in the spiritual world we call it—"

"Become an immortal."

The two walked through the downtown area, one walked to the east of the city, and walked for about half an hour, they came to a small thatched hut, Yun Fei was a little puzzled, but looking at Ye Weiyang's expression when he pushed the door and was about to go inside, he couldn't help but ask

"This is the 'Repair Office'? ……”

The "Cultivation Management Office", the National Cultivation Management Office, is subordinate to the national capital, and each of the 32 towns in 7 districts, 9 counties, and 32 towns has at least one. This is clear, and it is also the most puzzling point, that the country is the political center of the whole country, and it can compete with the three religions. The royal family of the national capital felt that it was their duty to prescribe the order of practice in their territory. Therefore, there is a saying that cultivators must have a "Taitu" to prove their identity, and this matter has also been tacitly acquiesced by the three major religions, and the rules set hundreds of years ago have been followed.

"Don't look at this place in a dilapidated place, but it has the right to decide whether you can enter the door of cultivation or not." Ye Weiyang shrugged his shoulders and smiled evilly. "But it's super easy to get through the relationship, and the country doesn't allocate money to them, so they're short of money-"

As he was talking, the wooden door opened with a "squeak", Ye Weiyang quickly shrunk his neck, and smiled familiarly, "Uncle Yin, don't come to harm?" ”

"Uncle Yin" is not a Taoist like Yunfei imagined, but a rickety, black and thin, with a pitch-black crutch that I don't know what texture it is, and when he walks, he looks at the ground with his old eyes, and his two lap legs tremble.

"Ah...... Okay, good weather...... "The old man is really old, he almost tripped over the threshold, Ye Weiyang reached out and helped him. "Uncle, you don't need to pick up, they're all acquaintances."

The three of them entered the house like this. The inside of the house looked the same as the outside, it was all mud walls and thatch, brick kang, and the bedding on it was still damp.

"Ah...... Okay, okay? Uncle Yin couldn't say all of his words, and hummed with his toothless mouth open. Dry...... What are you doing here......? ”

Ye Weiyang was not in a hurry, and slowly told him about the "Taiwan soil" proof half a year ago, the old man turned his ear, and it took a long time to understand, and he pondered for a while, saying that it was sent two days ago, but he forgot where to put it.

"Then let's look for it, okay?" Ye Weiyang proposed.

As a result, the two spent an hour rummaging through the old man's room and tidying it up.

With a "dang" sound, Yunfei picked up a box, and suddenly felt his heart shake, and as soon as his hand was released, the cork box fell to the ground. Ye Weiyang hurriedly ran over and saw that his face was a little red, and he was strongly suppressed.

"What's that?"

“…… Jade Spirit Vein! ……”

The old man was drenching and eating shortbread at the table, and said without raising his head, "I have been in this house for many years, and the thieves have not stolen it a few times, if you have a relationship with it, I will give it to you." ”

Yun Fei's eyes widened, he looked at the old man in disbelief, and then at Ye Weiyang. The latter motioned for him to thank him quickly.

"You don't have to...... Ahem, old man, me

It can be seen that this doll is a jade companion, and his opportunities and breakthrough points in the future will have an inseparable relationship with jade. "The old man choked on the shortbread, coughed twice, and most of his snot came out, and he trembled and wiped it with a handkerchief." Did you find it? Find it and pour me a glass of water. ”

The house was very small, and even though the "terrace soil" was very secret, it was still found. Yun Fei took the thing in his hand, a little disappointed, it was a thumb-sized stone, rough like an old man's face, and there was no word at all.

"Is this the thing?" He asked Ye Weiyang in a surprised whisper. "It's good to just pick up a piece of this kind of thing outside?"

Ye Weiyang motioned for him to shut up, because the old man could still hear their conversation very clearly, even if it was dying. "This doll is really illiterate, this is the 'Aoki Stone', which can be fused with any cultivator, and is produced in the heart of the forest. It's buried in the ground, and ordinary shrubs on it can grow to a thousand feet, and the huge root system wraps it tightly, how can it be so easy to get? ”

"Oh." Yun Fei pouted in response, he was still a mortal half a year ago, and he had only just set foot in the world of cultivators.

"The practice is divided into the five elements: gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, which are the foundation. Like your 'jade', or 'thunder', 'ice', etc., is called 'not among the five elements'. The 'Aoki Stone' is similar to the 'Wood Spirit Vein', which is equally rare and precious, except that the latter is mainly to help cultivation and accompaniment. The former can just make some specific objects. ”

"Hold your hand out." The old man took the "Taiwan soil" and said to Yunfei. The latter stretched out his right hand generously, palm facing up. The old man was a little casual, and the small stone seemed to be stuck to his fingertips, and with the downward force, it suddenly sank into Yunfei's palm.

The palm was pierced directly. But he didn't feel pain, but at that moment, a stream of information came into his head

"Yunfei, Qingchuan Town, 1978."

"What does this 1978 mean?" Yunfei looked up and asked Ye Weiyang.

"You are the 1978th cultivator in Qingchuan since ancient times." Ye Weiyang whispered. "And when someone holds your hand in the future, they will know your name and place in an instant."

"This hand?" Yun Fei stretched out his right hand, looked at it, and then stretched out it to Ye Weiyang. "Give it a try."

Ye Weiyang shook it roughly, and a piece of information rushed into Yun Fei's mind in an instant

"Ye Weiyang, Lantian County, 18200."

"A handshake is a sign of friendship among cultivators, and theoretically requires us not to attack each other when shaking hands, you have to remember that." The old man shuddered and coughed up two pieces of shortbread crust, wiped his nose and said.

The two walked out of the small thatched hut, and Yunfei held the small box in his hand tightly. The first thing he did when he came out was to open the lid to check that it was indeed a jade spirit vein, and the condition was quite good.

"What is the origin of that Uncle Yin? How can you be so generous? Yun Fei waited until he was far away before he asked in a low voice.

"The people in the repair office are usually sent directly from the state capital."

"The national capital?" Yun Fei was surprised. "The country is rich

On the first side, why is the residence of the people sent down so dilapidated? ”

"How could the national capital send people down casually?" Ye Weiyang laughed. "According to politicians, it is 'going out of Beijing' and 'moving to the left', either making mistakes or not being favored."

"That's right." Yun Fei lowered his eyebrows, this is all a routine, he knows best.

"That old man and my brother have some friendships, so it will be troublesome for others to do this matter, but it is different for us to come. And the old man heard that he was very powerful when he was young, but he was defeated in greed for money - it is no wonder that the officials in the national capital have few and far between. After living for a hundred years, he is dying, and he has to continue his life at the cost of the decay of his cultivation......"

"Continuation of life...... Yun Fei suddenly remembered what Ye Weiyang had said about the "purpose of cultivation", "How long is the life of a cultivator?" ”

"Unknown." Ye Weiyang dropped a sentence lightly. In other words, if you don't reach the highest level you can achieve, you never know how long you can live. But you must know that ninety out of five cultivators will not be able to live to the end of their lives. ”

Ye Weiyang deliberately skipped this topic, and added, "And I brought you here this time, not just to take a table soil." A few days ago, I heard that there were a few sons from the country, and people flocked to it, maybe there would be such a business as gambling jade. Li Anqing and Song Buyu had already wagged their tails and leaned over, my brother said that he wanted to go and see, and we would go too. ”

"The national capital?" Yunfei muttered.

"Li Anqing, do you remember? It's the one I pulled you into the night wolf, and the one who went toe-to-toe with me. Although he is a disciple of the Weiming Sect, his strength is limited, and he only likes to jump. Song Buyu's words...... This person is still very strong. Ye Weiyang rarely praises others, but this time he did not hesitate to praise.

"How strong?" Yun Fei tilted his head and asked. He told Ye Weiyang that he had a grudge with Song Buyu, and deliberately said so. "Stronger than me?" He laughed.

Ye Weiyang shook his head. He was not optimistic about Yunfei, but he still expressed a negative attitude on this matter. "Look at your little mind, my brother often tells me that grievances are pressing! And only you are allowed to have companions, and no one else is allowed to have? ”
