Chapter Twenty-Eight: What's Going On?
More than 3,000 miles away, the flying sword carried the two of them for five hours.
Along the way, Yuan Miaozi explained a lot of common sense in the immortal cultivation world to Shi An, and Shi An's knowledge increased a lot.
Shi An asked Yuan Miaozi: "Master, no, sir," he was still a little unaccustomed to changing his title, "I saw the Dafa mentioned in the "Four Elephants Heart Method", how could it not have a name?
"I also asked my uncle the former master of the previous question, but he didn't know. Although I don't know the answer to the latter question exactly, I can roughly guess that these are place names or sects from ancient times. ”
"Isn't there a historical book to verify?"
"I haven't heard of it, what we see now is recorded in writing about 13,000 years, but there are some rumors, saying that at that time, the immortal cultivation world didn't know what was wrong, the world was in chaos, all the aura disappeared in an instant, and the demon beasts also took the opportunity to come out to make trouble and harm the world, there were few monks left, and there were no mortals in the secular world. At a critical time, a god descended from the sky, and reopened the world with indescribable huge divine power, so that there was a new secular world and the world of cultivating immortals, according to legend, this great god is the grandmaster Qi Ling I told you before, and later generations called him Pangu God in order to commemorate him. ”
Shi An said: "When I was a child, I also heard of the name of Pangu God, and I thought it was just a legend, but I didn't expect it to be true. Can you tell me more about the Summoning Kingdom?"
"Our Zhaoguo is a small country, and the territory is smaller than the surrounding Yixin Kingdom, Cheng Kingdom, Cheng Country and Lan Kingdom, among which the Lan Kingdom is the largest, about five Zhaoguo is the size of the country, and the strength is also the strongest. Nowadays, the vast majority of countries do not have monarchs, and the so-called national territory is actually the sphere of influence of several sects in this country. Take Zhaoguo as an example, there are three largest sects, that is, our Sixiangguan, Wuluobao and Jihai sects, and nearly 30 other sects of all sizes are attached to these three sects. The strength of our Four Elephants Temple is slightly inferior, the Extreme Sea Sect is stronger than us, the most powerful is Wuluobao, and there are seven or eight native-born Jiedan monks, but there is an agreement between our three sects, and they are not aligned with each other and are not hostile, so they are safe. ”
"Then how big is the territory of our Four Elephants?" Shi An asked.
"The south of the Tuotuo River and the west of Zijun Mountain are our territory, the north of the Tuotuo River and the west of Zijun Mountain are the territory of the Jihai faction, and the east of Zijun Mountain is all the territory of Wuluobao. In terms of the size of the sphere of influence, the Four Elephants Temple and the Jihai School are the same size, and Wuluobao is slightly larger. The Kaiyuan City we are going to today is the largest city in Wuluobao's sphere of influence, because it is located at the junction of Zhaoguo, Chengguo and Languo, the transportation is very convenient, so the population is large and the market is also large, and we have a better chance of finding a solution to your physical problems. ”
Just walked all the way and chatted, and when it was getting dark, the two of them had arrived not far from the west gate of Kaiyuan City, and Yuan Miaozi lowered the flying sword and put it in the storage bag.
Shi An asked, "Why didn't Mr. fly directly into the city?"
Yuan Miaozi replied: "First, there are rules in the immortal cultivation world, and it is forbidden to fly within five miles around the city, and secondly, the monks in the foundation building period can just use spiritual power to drive things, and it is too difficult to carry people with flying swords, I am now pretending to be an early stage monk, wouldn't it be self-exposing to myself with flying swords?"
The two slowly entered the west gate of Kaiyuan City. Unlike the cities of the secular world, the gates of the immortal cultivation world are always wide open, and there is no curfew system. There were four monks at the gate of the city meditating, ignoring passers-by.
"Sir, there are monks flying in the sky!" Shi An said to Yuan Miaozi in amazement, looking up at the five monks above the city who were uniformly dressed and flying with magic weapons that looked like shuttles.
Yuan Miaozi raised his eyes and glanced at it, and said disapprerovingly: "Oh, this is the patrol guard in the city, driving a flying magic weapon, and using spirit stones to drive it without aura." It's still the wealth of Kaiyuan City, and there are also foundation-building monks who use flying magic weapons as city patrol guards. ”
The walls of Kaiyuan City are very thick, and Shi Anxin said that it can be worth the walls of three Xu counties, and it should be able to withstand the magic attacks of the monks.
"Like a city in the secular world, this Kaiyuan City is also a square city surrounded by walls, with walls on each side about twenty miles. The population of the city was more than two million, most of them mortals, and the rest were monks. Yuan Miaozi introduced to Shi An.
"Aren't all mortals in the secular realm? how can mortals also live in the immortal realm?" Shi An was very fresh to this statement.
"The spiritual root is a wonderful thing," Yuan Miaozi did not directly answer Shi An's question, but talked about the spiritual root: "It is also possible that mortal husbands and wives will give birth to offspring with spiritual roots, and even descendants with good spiritual roots. In the same way, there may be children without spiritual roots among monks. As soon as these mortal children were born in this immortal cultivation realm, they naturally became residents here. Besides, there are not only mortals in this immortal cultivation realm, but also Qi refining stage cultivators, they also have to eat grains and grains, and there are a lot of miscellaneous things to do outside of cultivation, and if there are not enough monks, there will inevitably be mortals. After a pause, he said: "Zheng'an, if we can't find a solution to your problem this time, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to keep you, if you really have to leave the Four Elephants, I will arrange for you to go to the South Ten Square, that city is small, but it belongs to the territory of the Four Elephants, and I can also take care of you." As for Sun Lang, I'll solve it for you. With that, he sighed, and it seemed that he didn't have much hope for this trip.
Shi An's eyes were red, he lowered his head, and said softly, "Let you bother, sir." ”
Yuan Miaozi patted Shi An on the shoulder and comforted: "Kaiyuan City is so big, we will find a way, find a place to live first, and go to Danfang tomorrow to have a look." ”
The two of them found an inn in the city that was not too big, the aura was quite strong, although the price was high, a room cost two spirit stones a day, but there were not many guests. The guy in the shop was a young man on the second floor of Qi refining, and he greeted the two warmly and arranged for them to live in a guest room on the second floor.
Danfang is a shop that manufactures and sells pills in the world of cultivating immortals, which can be regarded as a pharmacy in the world of cultivating immortals, but it is quite different from the pharmacy in the secular world, which mainly sells all kinds of herbs, and the prescriptions are mainly provided by the doctors who treat diseases, although there are also medicines for sale, but the number is not much. Danfang mainly sells proprietary medicines, which are divided into several types, including those that treat injuries and diseases, those that change physical fitness, those that improve one's self-cultivation, and those that are used for special purposes. There are generally alchemists in the Danfang, and the sale of pills is a matter of men, but the alchemist has to come forward to receive customers with special pill requirements.
Nothing was said all night.
The next day, the two found Zhen Yifang, the largest Danfang in Kaiyuan City, and it was Zhen Qing, the most famous alchemist in Kaiyuan City, who was sitting in Kaiyuan City. Zhen Qing is a monk in the late stage of foundation building, although his cultivation is not too high, but because of his excellent alchemy skills and extraordinary attainments in medical Taoism, he has a high reputation in the entire Kaiyuan City.
Entering the Danfang, a fellow from the Qi Refining Period came to receive him and asked, "What kind of pill does this senior want to buy?"
Yuan Miaozi said: "Master Zhen Dan is here, we will come to consult." ”
Seeing that the two of them were not here to buy pills, the man's face immediately became not very good-looking, and he didn't care that Yuan Miaozi's cultivation was higher than him, and said coldly: "Senior Zhen doesn't sit for a doctor, if you are treated, go out and turn right and the third is the medical hall." Even the word "senior" was omitted from the words.
Yuan Miaozi was still very polite: "Trouble the little brother, our patient's situation is special, Zhen Danshi will definitely go to the clinic, if he blames, I will bear it for you." After speaking, he stuffed two spirit stones into the man's hands.
Two spirit stones, I can't earn so much wages for half a month, the guy got the benefits, and his heart naturally blossomed, but his face was still serious: "Seeing that you are so sincere, I can go and invite Senior Zhen, if he doesn't come out to receive the treatment, I can't help it." With that, he got up and went into the back hall.
After a while, an old man with white hair walked out, coughed lightly and asked, "Which patient is in a special situation?"
Yuan Miaozi raised his hand high, from top to bottom, and gave a salute, and said: "Master Zhen Dan has a lot of work for you, my scholar has a special physique and can't cultivate, I want you to diagnose it." ”
"Oh, the physique is special, and I can't cultivate? This inability to cultivate is nothing more than the fact that the spiritual root is ridiculously poor, the meridians of Zhou Tian are damaged, and the Qi Sea Dantian is blocked, these are all common problems, I have my own elixir here that can be cured, why are you looking for me?" Zhen Qing was a little unhappy about disturbing his meditation because of such a trivial matter.
"Master Zhen doesn't know, I don't have any of the above problems, that is, I can't stay in the sea of qi by inhaling aura. ”
"That's weird, I'll take a look. Zhen Qing raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help but say that he stepped forward to investigate Shi An's condition.
Shi An knew that this was this Dan Master who was happy to see the hunt, and hurriedly took out the water spirit stone to absorb the spiritual energy and run.
"Water Spirit Stone, your master is really willing," Zhen Qing muttered as he probed, "Good guy, such a thick Water Spirit Root is rare." Well, the absorption is not bad either. Yo, this mental method is also very good, the first layer is only eighteen acupuncture points, okay! Well, the sea of qi is not damaged, and the concentration of spiritual mist formation is enough, there is no problem. Hey, why is the spiritual fog lightening, little guy, quickly increase the absorption, well, it's better. I'll take a look at the spiritual root again, um, there's no countercurrent, um, there's no output, um, there's no leakage, what's going on, what's going on?"
