Volume 5: Dragon Tour Nine Heavens Chapter 969: A woman surnamed Bai
Tan Tao said that Lu Yao seemed to occupy both of these points, and he couldn't tell what was going on for a while, but there was one thing that Lu Yao could conclude, that is, what Tan Tao said about his immortal qi retrograde was true, because the impact he described was completely consistent with his own situation.
It's just that Lu Yao is still a little curious, why Tan Tao can know that he is a retrograde immortal qi after trying it, but he didn't see that his experience in cultivating immortals is far better than Tan Tao's?
This confusion made Lu Yao puzzled.
"Brother Tan, is this saying of immortal qi retrograde widespread in the immortal cultivation world, or is it extremely rare?" Lu Yao asked curiously.
"Immortal retrograde is not a secret in today's immortal cultivation world, but two hundred years ago, this statement did not exist, that is to say, the concept of immortal retrograde was only put forward two hundred years ago, and it was recognized!" Tan Tao said slowly.
"Two hundred years ago?" Lu Yao was puzzled and said: "According to what Brother Tan said, immortal qi retrograde is not a situation that only immortal cultivators have encountered two hundred years later, so why do you know that someone will only propose it two hundred years ago, hasn't anyone discovered this situation before?" ”
"Immortal retrograde did not appear two hundred years ago, but has existed since the beginning of some people cultivating immortals, but before this statement was put forward two hundred years ago, people more called it "bad luck". Tan Tao said something that Lu Yao had never heard of at all.
"Bad luck?" Lu Yao hurriedly asked, "What is bad luck?" ”
"Human cultivation of immortals can be described as going against the sky, I think your master told you this on the first day he taught you the cultivation of immortals, right?" After Tan Tao finished speaking, he saw that Lu Yao also nodded silently, and then continued: "Walking against the sky is a matter of nine deaths and a lifetime, and the predecessors of the immortal cultivation world believe that the success of people in this life depends not only on personal diligence and the transcendence of the exercises, but also on the luck of the sky. ”
"And those who fail in cultivating immortals are either because of lack of luck, or because they are lacking in the process of cultivating immortals, and they lose their luck." Tan Tao continued: "Luck is the key to determining the success of cultivating immortals, so those who fail on the way to cultivating immortals are caused by the collapse of luck, and people attribute many failures to bad luck, and immortal qi retrograde is just one of the bad lucks. ”
"Knowing that two hundred years ago, a person who failed in cultivating immortals reversed the situation and turned it around through some secret method, so he called this category of unlucky people Immortal Qi retrograde through his actual experience!" Tan Tao finished the last sentence in one breath, and he also felt a sense of relief.
"What happened to that senior?" Although Lu Yao cared about other things, what he was most concerned about at this time was the follow-up experience of the master who defined the situation that his predecessors called bad luck as immortal retrograde.
"That senior disappeared from people's sight after leaving a method to reverse the retrograde of immortal qi, and now no one knows whether he is dead or alive, but I think with his talent and luck, he must have become an immortal!" Tan Tao said fascinatedly.
"He still left the exercises?" Lu Yao was overjoyed and asked, "Does Brother Tan know this kind of exercise?" ”
"Knowing is knowing, but it's just ......," Tan Tao said, and then his voice became smaller and smaller, and then he couldn't hear it at all.
Lu Yao could see that there must be some secret in this, but he was indeed too curious and too eager to learn about this exercise at this time, because he felt that this might be the best time to solve the mystery that plagued him.
"It's just what, Brother Tan, what do you say?" Lu Yao was a little anxious, and asked a little out of shape for a while.
After asking, Lu Yao also realized it, but it was too late, there was no regret medicine to eat in this world, even if Lu Yao's alchemy was now very pure, but he couldn't refine the regret medicine, so he could only quickly say: "I'm sorry, Brother Tan, I'm too anxious, please don't mind!" ”
"It's okay, I can understand!" Tan Tao smiled slightly, comforting Lu Yao and said: "I think although I have never succeeded since that senior, I think you can still give it a try, after all, in my eyes, you are not an ordinary person, and your luck is as bad as the sky!" ”
“……”
Tan Tao told Lu Yao about the so-called exercises of the seniors, and after Tan Tao's narration and Lu Yao's understanding, he came to a conclusion that it was not so much an exercise, but a different way to cultivate immortals.
Bad luck, in short, is a situation in which you can't continue to cultivate immortals because of a certain behavior or lack of luck, and if you want to change the situation of bad luck, you naturally have to accumulate luck.
If it is explained by a very modern phenomenon, it is like all children have to read, and they will accumulate a lot of knowledge over time, but mastering knowledge does not mean that everyone can change their fate, some people will enter a good university to continue their studies because of different understandings and different grades, while some people can only enter a general university to spend their academic career sloppily, and even some people will drop out of school halfway.
The accumulation of luck is like studying, not everyone can do it, and there are only a handful of people who can enter a good university for further study and reach the pinnacle of life.
It is naturally difficult to accumulate luck, and this process requires continuous absorption of other people's luck in order to achieve the purpose of changing one's own luck, and the way that the predecessor used to accumulate luck is to accumulate the power of faith.
Tan Tao didn't explain this very carefully, because he didn't know it very well, after all, two hundred years of history had passed, and no one had succeeded since that senior.
Suddenly, Lu Yao also understood that wanting to change the situation of immortal qi retrograde could not be completed overnight, and he also vaguely believed that there was more than one way to change immortal qi retrograde, so he decided to discuss it with Lijiang after going back and make a decision.
Knowing this, Lu Yao's heart was also a little more relaxed.
"Brother Tan, there must be something else going on when you brought me here tonight, right?" Lu Yao made up his mind to postpone the matter of changing his immortal qi retrograde, and when he returned to Xijing City and saw Lijiang, he would make a decision, so he turned the topic to tonight's matter, looked at Tan Tao and asked.
"Yes, I came to you today because I have something very important to tell you, but I hope you had better be mentally prepared before you hear the news!" Tan Tao said very strangely.
Mentally prepared?
What was it that made Tan Tao come to him at this time and talk to himself in such a serious tone?
"Brother Tan, say it!" Lu Yao took a deep breath and said.
"Have you ever heard of a man named Cai Shuangquan?" Tan Tao asked, "Even if you heard it from your teacher?" ”
"No, I've never heard of that name." Lu Yao thought for a while, and made sure that he had never heard this name from anyone, so he said, "What's the matter, Brother Tan, what does this person have to do with me?" ”
"It may not have had anything to do with you before, but now it has a lot to do with you." Tan Tao saw that Lu Yao's answer was very cautious and serious, but he was still a little disappointed when he saw that he had never heard this name, adjusted his breathing, and continued: "This person's strength is terrifying, and it can be said that he has never met an opponent who can cause him trouble since he became famous. ”
"What does this have to do with me?" Lu Yao's heart jumped, and an ominous premonition came to his mind.
"Cai Shuangquan's last appearance was at the Xu family's ancestor worship ceremony fifteen years ago, when he was also here to pay tribute to the ancestors of the Xu family, many people originally came to see his style, but who knew that it was indeed the beginning of a nightmare, he killed all sides at the Xu family's ancestor worship ceremony, and the world changed color, and the blood flowed like a river." Tan Tao's body also trembled slightly when he talked about it, obviously the scene at that time made him unforgettable to this day.
"Why is this happening?" Lu Yao asked curiously.
"Because of a man, a woman about forty years old, he actually killed all sides for her." Tan Tao's voice trembled a little, and said, "But even so, to this day, no one knows what it is for?" ”
"What's that woman's name and where is it now?" Lu Yao continued to ask.
"I don't know, I don't know, it's just rumored that the woman's surname is Bai." Tan Tao said word by word, staring at Lu Yao as he spoke.
"Surname Bai?" Lu Yao was shocked.
Could it be Bai Qiong?
No, Bai Qiong is only about thirty years old this year, how can it be her, didn't Tan Tao say that the woman surnamed Bai was forty years old fifteen years ago?
"Yes, the surname is white, white white." Tan Tao replied affirmatively.
Silence, endless silence.
Lu Yao didn't speak because he didn't know what to say, and Tan Tao didn't speak either, because he knew that Lu Yao needed some time to digest this information.
After a long time, it was Tan Tao who finally broke the silence, looked at Lu Yao and said: "I heard that the Xu family of Jiuzhou suddenly attacked you, and the reason is because of a woman named Bai Qiong, so I have to remind you that this matter is probably Cai Shuangquan's idea." ”
"Perhaps!" Lu Yao sighed and said, "Thank you Brother Tan for running thousands of miles to tell me, I Lu Yao will remember this kindness."
"And what are you going to do?" Tan Tao asked with some concern.
"Let me think about it again, it came so suddenly, I didn't have an idea for a while." Lu Yao replied truthfully.
Tan Tao could see that Lu Yao was in a very bad mood at this time, and some words were swallowed back into his stomach, but he just said: "Okay, I'll go first, and I'll talk about it after you think about it." ”
"If there's anything, you can come to the Palivia Hotel to find me!" Tan Tao stopped after taking a few steps, looked back at Lu Yao and said, then flashed and disappeared.
Lu Yao stood in place for about a quarter of an hour, shook his head helplessly, and turned back.
