Looking at Xiaotian's expression, he obviously knew that the Qingshan Patriarch was talking about his life experience, and his tail was still slightly provoked and moving gently. Listening to it, a pair of dog eyes turned teary and a whining sound came out of its throat, but it could clearly understand a lot.

Baoyu sat on the edge of the altar, stretched out his hand just enough to hold the dog's head into his arms, he touched Xiaotian's neck and said, "Good Xiaotian, don't cry!" and then said to the Qingshan patriarch: "I really didn't expect that Xiaotian still has such a life experience, it is so pitiful, fortunately it was rescued by the Qingshan patriarch!"

Shui Gu said softly: "Child, the story of the Qingshan patriarch is not finished yet. Back then, he not only brought back a puppy from the ruins of the Qingshui clan's walled city, but also rescued a teenager. ”

Patriarch Aoyama then recounted, mentioning his personal experience back then. Just by the altar in the middle of the walled city, he found a young man in his junior grade. ...... The child was brought back to Lu Village, and under the care of the Aoyama Patriarch and Shui Gu, he grew up with the children of the clan, and his name was Baoyu.

Baoyu was completely stunned when he heard this, he held Xiaotian's head, but his little hand no longer moved, but Xiaotian gently rubbed him with his ear, and he didn't know who was comforting whom. Baoyu's expression was not sad, his eyes had always been so clear and without any impurities, but at this moment they were covered with a layer of hazy water.

To be honest, Baoyu was a little confused. He never really thought about where he came from, and his people never talked about it in front of him. Baoyu knew she was an orphan, but there was nothing unusual about it. He also grew up with seven or eight orphans in the village, and they did not know who their parents were, as was common among primitive tribes.

Of course, Baoyu thought that he was the same as these children in the clan, but today the Qingshan Patriarch told him another story, and he couldn't react for a while. Baoyu was very sad, inexplicably scared or indescribably regretful. He also felt deeply confused and uneasy about his life history.

His story is not quite the same as Xiao Tian's, as hazy as a childhood dream, lacking some clear and profound details. Baoyu didn't cry, but he didn't speak for a long time. Patriarch Qingshan and Aunt Shui also sat there silently with him, and after a long time, he spoke: "It turns out ...... I'm not from Lu Village?"

His first sentence was this question, but for a child, in addition to regret, the first thing in his heart is a feeling as if he has been abandoned by the world. Shui Gu stretched out her hand and put his head on her shoulder and said, "Baoyu, you grew up in Lu Village. has always been a child of Lu Village. Since the day Patriarch Qingshan brought you back, you have been from Lu Village, and always will be. ”

After a long time, Baoyu asked, "What kind of bad guy is it that slaughtered the Qingshui clan?"

Patriarch Qingshan said in a low voice: "Only Zhu Ming knows, but Zhu Ming thinks that now is not the time to tell you." As for the reason, you can ask Zhu Ming in person. ”

Patriarch Qingshan and Shui Gu comforted the child for a long time, Baoyu obviously found it difficult to accept and face this sudden happening, and he had too many feelings and he didn't think about it too clearly. At dusk. Patriarch Qingshan and Shui Gu left, taking Xiaotian with them. They left Baoyu here alone—this was Zhu Ming's order.

Baoyu had too many doubts in her young mind, but she didn't know what to ask. He stretched out his hand and wiped the corners of his eyes, watching the five-colored divine lotus in the pool slowly close its petals. He turned around and ascended to the altar again. After a long time, he collected his mind and entered the state of concentration, and then asked, "Zhu Ming, what Patriarch Qingshan told me today, is it true?"

Zhu Ming's voice slowly sounded from the Yuan Shen: "Yes." What he said was true, and he didn't tell you a long time ago, because he was afraid that you were too young. Incomprehensible and unacceptable. And the murderers who slaughtered the Qingshui clan are still in the world, and if they know your origin, it will also be against you. ”

Baoyu: "Who did it, and why did they do that?"

Zhu Ming: "Child, one day I will tell you everything, but not now." The words accompanied by the thought gave a detailed explanation, telling Baoyu why he didn't say it, and what did those murderers want to get but didn't get? Zhu Ming would rather die than give the murderer something, and wait until that day to give it to Baoyu.

Baoyu: "And when are you going to wait?"

Zhu Ming: "It's not about when I have to wait, it's about when you're going to wait." When you travel to Ba Yuan, witness and comprehend everything in the world, break through the cultivation of the Six Realms, and cultivate the Essence of Essence, I will tell you. ”

Baoyu: "What! Am I going to get out of here?"

Zhu Ming: "Yes, one day you will leave, but not now, until you are ready first." Leaving is not a farewell, and you will come back. ...... When people are powerless in the face of the problem they want to solve, it is useless to think too much. As far as you're concerned, it's better to cultivate at the moment, just like usual. ”

Baoyu can still settle down at this moment, which is already very remarkable, not only because his foundation for the perfection of the Three Realms and Nine Transformations is extremely solid, but also because his mind is pure and his concentration is profound. Just as he was collecting his mind and doing what Zhu Ming instructed, Zhu Ming imprinted another thought into his Yuan Shen and asked a question: "Child, how do you feel when you learn all this?"

This question is very simple and profound, and it doesn't even need to be answered, and Zhu Ming didn't let him answer it.

Only you know what you feel. For example, if everyone thinks that they should feel sad about an experience, then people who have experienced it will also show sadness. But he may not really feel it, he just feels like he should be.

And in the fixed realm, of course, Baoyu would not think about such a question, and it was impossible to dwell on how he should feel, otherwise he would not be able to enter the country. The state of his mind is his truest and deepest feeling. The idea that Zhu Ming imprinted into the Yuan Shen was the tragic scene of the Qingshui clan fighting to the death that night and finally being wiped out.

When Baoyu heard about his life experience, his heart was full of regret, but he was not sad and indignant, because his feelings were not so real and profound. He hadn't experienced those things personally, and he didn't have any people from the Shimizu clan in his memory, as if he was listening to a story that had nothing to do with him, but someone told him that he was the person in the story.

Zhu Ming asked a question, imprinted a scene in Baoyu's primordial spirit, and then stopped bothering him. Baoyu sat down on the white jade throne, time passed quietly, and I don't know how long it took, he suddenly burst into tears. Tears ran down his cheeks and wet his shirt, and he didn't know it.

In the deep silence of ignorance and desirelessness, various scenes inexplicably appeared, first of all, it was still a rhino ditch beast running wildly. In the past few days before coming to the Taihao Ruins, Baoyu would experience a similar state of affairs every night. When the rhinoceros beast rushed over, his mind had already settled, and the rhino ditch beast rushed over. Then he reappeared on the altar in the middle of the village, but the scene changed strangely.

The village was no longer a road village, but the Qingshui clan's walled city, and the altar was even taller, and there was a raging fire around it. Countless people of the Yu Nationality attacked from all over the sky, and many people attacked from all sides with weapons. The people who met the enemy were not the people of the Qingshui clan, but the people of Lucun, who had lived with Baoyu since childhood and were extremely familiar to him, and they fell in pools of blood and firelight.

The Three Realms and Nine Transformations are consummated, and the monks tend to fall into a deep state of silence, and enter various scenes in the state of concentration. This situation is indescribable, but Zhu Ming seems to know very well - what will Baoyu see in the fixed realm? Baoyu saw what he was most afraid of. Even if he didn't have a personal feeling about the extermination of the Qingshui clan, and he didn't have the emotions established in reality for the people of the Qingshui clan, what if all this happened in Lu Village?

There has been a mysterious and indescribable change in the scene in the fixed realm, it is Lu Cun who has encountered all this, how will Baoyu feel? The Qing Shui clan back then is today's Lu Village, this is not a hypothesis, but what is seen and experienced in the fixed realm. Baoyu deeply experienced the sorrow, despair, anger and hatred.

Zhu Ming on the tree hill was also a little uneasy, because he could have done otherwise. Although stepping from the Three Realms to the Four Realms was a very overriding hurdle for most monks, he knew Baoyu very well and knew that it was not difficult for this kid to break through the Four Realms. If he waited until Baoyu broke through the four realms and then told him all this, then it would not have caused such a violent impact on his mind.

If Zhu Ming didn't let Ruoshan and Ruoshui say it, then of course the two wouldn't be in a hurry to tell Baoyu. But when Baoyu came here with Ruoshan and Ruoshui, Zhu Ming still made this choice. Not only that, but he also asked that sentence and imprinted that scene in Baoyu's original spirit. With the knowledge of him, the world's top great master, of course, he also knew what this would lead to.

This may cause damage to Baoyu, and it may make him more mature and stronger, but the real problem is that this must be the great trouble that Baoyu encountered when he broke through from the Three Realms to the Four Realms. But Zhu Ming has confidence in this kid and thinks that Baoyu will still break through the four realms.

Zhu Ming has an inevitable result of doing this, and this is also his purpose, which is to plant a seed in Baoyu's belief, and the seed of revenge for the Qingshui clan in the future!

Back then, when Zhu Ming sat on the Shude Hill and watched the Qingshui clan being slaughtered, he also wanted Baoyu to understand. At this moment, he even wished that he was Baoyu, or that Baoyu was him.

Zhu Ming has the strongest desire in his heart, he can live like this, or he can give Baoyu everything he has, but the purpose is to avenge the Qingshui clan and personally arrange the destruction of Bai Sha. It may be too difficult to do, but as long as there is a glimmer of hope, he will not give up.

No one could know exactly what kind of horror Baoyu had experienced in the fixed realm, and when he opened his eyes, he found himself sitting alone on the white jade altar, and the five-colored lotus flowers around him were already quietly blooming. At the time when the lotus flower is about to be released, the posture is the most beautiful and the most agile charm between heaven and earth.

This time the experience was different from the previous ones, Baoyu did not enter a wonderful scene similar to the dream since childhood, nor did she see the woman in the shy mountains and rivers, directly "waking up" in the great terror of blood and fire. His tears wet the clothes on his chest, and his whole body was already drenched in sweat, his sweat was pure, colorless, odorless, and even with a faint lotus fragrance.

Baoyu was once again in a state of deep silence, but asked Zhu Mingdao, "Do you know what scene I experienced in the state of concentration just now?"

Zhu Ming's voice sounded: "This kind of experience is only clear to you, but I can sense your reaction, so I can guess that you must have experienced the most feared thing in your heart." ”

Baoyu: "Yes, I saw the people of Lu Village, who became members of the Qingshui clan...... Zhu Ming, what should I do?"

Zhu Ming replied: "It's not what you should do, it's what you can do." This is the experience of cultivation, and it is also the refining of the primordial spirit. It pounds the mind at the same time. It can also have an effect on a person's intellect and may even change one's temperament. From hurting the mind to hurting the body, or making people mad and confused, different monks have different experiences. ”

Zhu Ming didn't tell Baoyu what to do, he just gave a lot of examples. Those who have changed their temperament drastically and even gone crazy in their minds, needless to say, the patriarch of Youyu Village, Yu Da Shell, has some of this kind of sign, but it is not obvious yet, and his cultivation has not yet reached the realm. There are also people who are injured and lost in their cultivation, all because they are indulging in the experience of that fixed state and cannot extricate themselves.

The monk must remain unmoved. Only then can we be freed from this kind of trouble, but even if we can get rid of it, the situation is different.

Some people experience all kinds of tragic scenes in this deep silence, settle their minds and endure silently, and see everything so clearly, as a way to sharpen their primordial spirits, and later break through the four realms. But some of them later became ruthless and murderous. However, they think that their minds are firm and their minds are well-understood, but they do not know that they are gradually accumulating, and some people have become indifferent and meaningless, and their state of mind seems to be detached, but in fact they are numb, and they have lost their vitality and vitality, and over time they are no different from earth and stones.

These people have all been relieved of their troubles in different ways, and some of them have been able to break through the four realms and continue to cultivate. However, the trouble in cultivation is not one realm at a time, but a problem that must always be faced, and the cultivation of each realm on the road to heaven is the foundation of all realms in the future. So the question of Baoyu is not what to do, but what he can do. Protecting the mind is the first priority, how to go through all this trouble. People also have different options.

This is the way Zhu Ming and Baoyu communicated, it was not that the master taught the disciples to practice the secret method, he was just explaining. Baoyu pondered for a long time and did not speak again, he looked at the five-colored lotus flower in front of him, as if in a state of uncertainty and instability.

But Baoyu didn't really settle down, but was reminiscing, reminiscing about the scenes she had experienced in the previous concentration - in the waterhole with five-colored lotus flowers, seeing the woman bathing in the water, and experiencing the feelings of such an experience that had been imprinted into the primordial gods.

It can be said that Baoyu is imagining, or it can be said that he is reminiscing, making up for the feelings that he did not have in the state of concentration, and his body and mind gradually become relaxed, and he returns to tranquility and tranquility with longing. Human emotions are diverse, not only hatred and sadness, but also the yearning and pursuit of beauty.

On this day, Zhu Ming did not let Baoyu leave the Taihao Ruins, but let him break three lotus roots to eat, and took the initiative to let him pick a five-colored lotus flower and put it on the white jade altar with the stems under the flower holder. Not only that, Zhu Ming also asked him to pick some Langyu fruits, and dug out a batch of lotus seeds that had been buried for thousands of years in the mud at the bottom of the water, and put these precious immortal elixirs on the altar.

Baoyu didn't know why, but he did as Zhu Ming instructed. At noon, Baoyu, who had taken the lotus root, continued to sit and practice, and he went through the same state of meditation, but it was more complete than at night, and not only the most terrible horror, but also came to the wonderful lotus pond.

Zhu Ming achieved his goal, Baoyu had a personal vendetta, and he would inevitably avenge the Qingshui clan in the future. But just like Zhu Ming said, everyone has their own way of facing the troubles in cultivation. Baoyu guards the Qingming Yuan Shen in the fixed realm, and he wants to know what kind of people and things are in the world, and what kind of love and hate people have.

What Baoyu could do, Zhu Ming didn't know, but this kid obviously experienced the troubles in the fixed state in the most natural way. For him, the question is not whether he can break through the four realms, but whether he can put a lot of effort into his cultivation, so that his concentration is deeper and his concentration is more refined.

Baoyu had been cultivating in the Taihao Ruins for half a month this time, because he no longer had to worry about being discovered by the clansmen, and the Qingshan Patriarch and Shui Gu would explain it for him. When he returned to the village from the back mountains through the wilderness, he met many people. Everyone took the initiative to greet him, with all kinds of expressions of cordiality, concern, surprise, envy and even admiration, but everyone's smiles seemed so sincere and warm.

The people in the village have heard that Baoyu has entered the initial realm of cultivation when he was watching Shuigu spinning cloth, and he has cultivated to the realm of the Three Realms and Nine Transformations of Perfection over the years, but the people don't know it, and this child does not show off to others. If it weren't for Baoyu's great power that day to shoot down so many birdmen with flying stones, even the Huahai Patriarch would probably still not be able to detect it.

Now the patriarch of Qingshan and Shui Gu instructed Baoyu to practice diligently, and should often meditate in the mountains and wilderness, and at the same time instructed the clansmen not to disturb Baoyu's cultivation without anything. The patriarch of Qingshan also gave an order, which was similar to what Shui Gu had told before, that is, the people of Lu Village and Huahai Village, don't talk about Baoyu's cultivation at such a young age, even if they don't talk about each other.

As for the reason, Patriarch Qingshan didn't explain too much, but the clansmen could understand it in their own ways. If he had known that there was a "master" like Baoyu, the Yu people might not have been so careless when they attacked the village in the first place, this child was the secret weapon cultivated by the Qingshan patriarch and the water girl!

In the past three years, Lu Village and Huahai Village have gathered strong men to cultivate the strength of the mountain and drill the military formation, without letting the other tribes know any news, and the result has been miraculous in the valley conflict. With the authority of the Qingshan Patriarch and the Water Aunt, the clansmen would naturally obey their words. This is also the reason why Baoyu's secret was still unknown to outsiders for a long time after that.

But whether it is Zhu Ming and Zhu Ming, or the Qingshan Patriarch and Shui Gu, they all know very well in their hearts that this secret is destined to be impossible to hide for a long time, as long as Baoyu is still here and has such an amazing cultivation, sooner or later it will be known by the barbarian tribes. But the later this situation appears, the better, Zhu Ming still needs a little time for Baoyu to prepare, and the deadline he said to Shui Gu is one year.

......

After Wakayama returned to the village, the next few days were busy. The king's decree soon arrived, and the proclaimer was Xin Shu, the monk who came to the wilderness with Lord Xiling last time, and Xin Shu also brought a team of more than 20 people to send various things rewarded by the king.

Xin Shu is a monk of the Four Realms and Three Transformations, who has lived in the capital of the Xiangmuro Kingdom for many years, and has been courteous and supported by the Xiangmuro Kingdom, and occasionally serves for the soldiers, Gongzhengsama, or the monarch. This time, he came to the wilderness to convey the king's order, and Ruoshan was officially named the lord of Shanshui City, and was named "Shanshui Clan".

Then Xin Shu stayed here and didn't leave, because he served as the "engineer" of Shanshui City.

The country of the phase room has a soldier, a lizheng, a gongzheng, a sacrifice, and a cangamasa...... In each city under its jurisdiction, there are also corresponding military divisions, engineers, etc. As for the "priest" and "priest", they are often absent in the city outline, and are usually held by the lord of the city, because the prison and sacrificial affairs in charge of him belong to the duties and powers of the lord of the city.

It is impossible for the Emperor of the Zomuro Kingdom to bypass the Lord of Wakayama Castle and directly appoint the officials of the city, unless there is really no suitable talent in the wilderness, and Wakayama sends an envoy to the monarch to make a request, and the Zomuro Kingdom will send it on purpose. The military division is in charge of military and military equipment, responsible for drills and command of military formations, these Ruoshan himself is very good at it, and the military division of Shanshui City is of course the one he taught Bo Zhuang.

As for the farmer and the warehouse master, they can be concurrently served by one person for cultivation and harvest storage, and the most suitable person is the patriarch of Huahai. A few years ago, Xiangmuro Country also sent people to teach Youyu Village to grow various crops and build various agricultural tools, and all tribes can continue to study, and it will be arranged by the Huahai patriarch. The Huahai Patriarch can be said to be the most important person in Shanshui City except for Ruoshan, and his status is equivalent to that of the deputy city lord.

Shanshui City only has its name, the city outline has not yet been built, and there are not so many official positions. Because we don't have many things to do, we mainly work in various villages, and when we encounter major matters that need to be negotiated, we can also decide by the Council of Elders.

However, the position of engineer is so special that not only must it be had, but the monarch should also send someone to take it, which is the recognition and support of the status of Shanshui City. An engineer in an officially sealed city must have at least four realms of cultivation.
