Chapter 6 The Long Path of Cultivation
The situation is very different when going down the mountain than when going up.
Here, there is no fog to cover it, and you can clearly see the picture of the hard work of the people on the plains of the island, the lotus root in the terraced fields and ponds below the mountainside has been harvested for one season, and the lotus lotus grows in the second season, and occasionally a few seabirds perch on it as a rest.
The grandfather and grandson walked leisurely down the mountain, walking and walking, and suddenly the space around them was distorted, and they felt that their breathing was stagnant for an instant, but their bodies were not too uncomfortable.
But he had unconsciously walked to the mountainside, He Leng turned around to look, the mountainside was still full of fog and clouds, and he couldn't see his five fingers. I learned from my grandfather that this was because of the formation, and I thought about it, but this kind of ability is really amazing, and sooner or later I will definitely be able to learn this kind of ability. He Leng thought so!
There is a primary school in the market on Lotus Island, which is a place for the children of the common people on the whole island to read and write, and Zhao Gang also serves as a guest teacher in the school, and will come here to teach a lesson every three days.
At this moment, a table of wine was set up in the room where the teachers were working, and Zhao Gang was drinking the practice wine specially held for him with several elderly teachers, while communicating with them about the unfinished studies that had not yet been taught, and a young teacher next to him was helping to clean up the books he had left in the office......
The classroom is very lively, He Leng has been studying here for two years, the children are lively, He Leng's eccentric temperament has been liked by many friends, and he has made a lot of friends.
At this moment, he is doing the last game with his friends, everyone knows that he will never come to class again after tomorrow, and he will go to the mainland in a few days after Mr. Zhao finishes dealing with the matter at hand.
They knew from the mouths of some adults who had been to the mainland that it was a strange and magical place, that land was so vast that people could not walk around it in their lives, and there were all kinds of strange things, there were real immortals there, and there were all kinds of magical magical beasts, and they even dared to provoke immortals......
The little pot friends naturally have a way to say goodbye to the little pot friends, and they give their favorite toys and snacks to He Leng, so that He Leng is piled up into a small mountain bag in front of him.
Of course, the friends who have the best relationship with He Leng are also among them, Black Bull, Xiaoya, Yezi, Zhu'er, Dawei, everyone is holding a bunch of toys to eat and walking towards the courtyard in the east with He Leng.
"Leng Zi, I also want to cultivate. Dawei, who was walking in the front, said enviously, "Also, your grandfather is so good to you!"
"I want to, too. ”
"I want to, too. ”
"I want to, too. I still want to be an immortal, and I've heard that those cultivators are all aiming to be immortals. "The black bull is not very old, and his tone is not small.
"And me. ”
In the end, the little girl timidly raised her little hand, and there was a piece of cake in the shape of a moon in her hand, she was the youngest of several people, only four and a half years old, the little girl was also timid, and every time she spoke in class, she would raise her little hand first, no, she regarded this place as a class.
He Leng laughed: "Don't worry, everyone will have the opportunity to cultivate, you now exercise as I do every morning, grandpa said that it is called expanding the meridians, and after I go to the mainland to figure out what cultivation is all about, I will come back to pick you up." In the future, we will all go to the end of the world together!"
...... The following days were completely idle, during which Zhao Gang went in and out of the stilted building in the west from time to time, and the old face of the woman who was teased by the woman inside was red, and he drank a meal of wine with the people in the stone tower in the north at night, and then ran to the south to walk around a few wooden houses, these wooden houses are now empty, in disrepair, and have been dilapidated for a few years, and have collapsed partially by the erosion of the tide, and Zhao Gang sighed.
Seven days later, by the sea.
A sea boat slowly approached the lotus island.
It is rare to see outsiders on the island, but the people on the island do not have the slightest intention to see the excitement, they are all busy with their own work, and the sound of children reading in the school not far away floats from the school.
"Why are you? I thought it was Wu Yuan's old man!" Zhao Gang said in surprise as he looked at the person who was slowly pacing out of the boat.
Hearing this, the visitor was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and sighed, "Alas, since I received your news a year ago, a few of us have touched our heads, originally the old man Wu Yuan said that he was coming, but soon after he had an old illness and was in pain. This time is more dangerous than several times before, the old man was already bedridden when I left, and if you go fast this time, you can see him for the last time. Alas, the time limit has come!"
Zhao Gang was silent when he heard this, walked a few steps to the side, looked at the sea level where the sky and the sea met in the distance, and after a while, he turned around and said, "I'm going back, what do you want to tell me?"
The man was silent for a long time, shook his head and said: "The affairs of the various sects in the mountain gate are complicated and difficult to understand, you have not been in the mountain gate for a long time, and you will not be able to explain it for a while, and the specific matters will be understood after you go back." I don't know if it's right or wrong for you to go back this time, but in short, I would like to advise you to stay away from those whirlpools of right and wrong. ”
Zhao Gang waved his hand, didn't say much, and walked towards the boat with a smile.
When He Leng walked past the man, the other party suddenly said: "Boy, your grandfather has given up too much for you, and he has paid too much, so be kind to him in the future." ”
"I must be good to grandpa!" He Leng replied loudly.
"Take care of Zhu Lao, he is the gospel of the entire Tianyun Mountain sects. Zhao Gangtou said slowly without replying.
"Don't worry, those who know the whereabouts of these old worshippers, there are few people in the entire Tianyun Mountain. ”
Zhao Gang was speechless, as the ship slowly offshored sat on the bow of the boat, He Leng snuggled in the arms of the old man, and the setting sun shone on the backs of the grandfather and grandson, making the two of them look blurry and distorted like time and space!
Not far from the island, a strange lotus flower floats quietly on the sea, and the pleasant fragrance of the lotus attracts the surrounding sea creatures to play happily.
......
The sea is calm.
The sea is also treacherous.
A huge tentacle eerily stretched out of the sea, cautiously approaching the ship.
Zhao Gang felt something, raised his hand and pointed at it, and a sword qi of "snort" struck out, hitting the root of the tentacles, scaring the sea monster that had just come out of its head and immediately sinking its body into the sea, and the sea suddenly bubbled with a cloud of crimson.
This sea monster is not an ordinary thing at first glance, we also encountered one a few days ago, and Guan Lao didn't clean it up so quickly. Tsk, this tentacle is delicious, and everyone has another meal tonight. ”
The sailors on the ship picked up the shocking tentacles that had fallen on the bow of the ship and patted them carefully.
Zhao Gang smiled, the Guan Lao that the other party said was Guan Yu who stayed on Lotus Island, and that guy's ability was not weaker than himself. Waved these sycophants out of his mind and beckoned to He Leng.
He Leng saw Zhao Lao's move for the first time, his eyes widened, and He Leng's eyes couldn't open the brilliance of the sword aura, and he was very happy in his heart, thinking that his grandfather was such a powerful person. Seeing that the old man was waving at him, he hurriedly ran over.
"Isn't it amazing?" Zhao Gang laughed and teased the little guy.
"Amazing! Immortals are nothing more than that. Grandpa, are you going to teach me such kung fu?" He Leng saw little stars popping up in his eyes.
"Hahahaha...... Zhao Gang laughed heartily, "Where can that kind of kung fu be achieved overnight? If you can display it in the form after practicing for twenty years, you can probably be regarded as a genius, otherwise wouldn't everyone in the cultivation world become immortals?" haha. ”
"Eh!" He Leng didn't feel frustrated at all when he heard this, anyway, he was only six years old, and he had no concept of the difficulty of cultivation, but was more curious about that kind of magical method: "Then grandpa, when will I start cultivating?"
"Start now. ”
"Now?" He Leng was stunned, "Do you start cultivating now, what should I do?"
He Leng's heart was excited, he looked eager to try, but he couldn't enter, he scratched his ears and cheeks in a hurry, and his heart was like a cat scratching.
"Don't worry. ”
Zhao Gang's expression began to become more and more serious, and he slowly began to speak: "The so-called cultivation is to turn the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into yuan power for one's own use. Therefore, according to legend, since the ancestors occasionally knew the magic of cultivation, the predecessors have continuously improved the method of turning aura into yuan force, and it has been passed down from generation to generation, and it has been quite mature, and the unique geniuses of the world have organized it into a perfect system. ”
"At the beginning of cultivation, we must refine qi, this is a well-known thing in the entire cultivation world; refining qi, refining is the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and the so-called 'turning spiritual energy into yuan power' is what it says. The tenth order of qi refining is complete, and the yuan force in the body reaches saturation, at this time, it is time to start condensing the soul, only by condensing the soul, the yuan force can successfully change qualitatively, so as to transform into the true element, and only by cultivating the true yuan can it really be regarded as entering the threshold of cultivation. Hmm, can you understand?"
"Most of my grandson doesn't understand it, but my grandson already has it all in his head!"
"Well, just remember, you've always had an amazing memory, and this shouldn't be too hard for you, so I'll go on. ”
"Grandpa, please continue. ”
"After condensing the soul, you begin to enter the threshold of real cultivation, and this is the division of the realm, starting from the condensation of the soul: condensing the soul - raising the soul - establishing the soul - breaking the soul - the soul master - the soul king - the soul emperor - the soul venerable - the soul saint; this is the > of the Apocalypse ContinentThe nine realms that the cultivation world currently practices together, based on these nine realms, have derived a variety of cultivation techniques and martial arts, ranging from high and low......"
"In general, the cultivation of exercises and martial arts can be divided into three levels: heavenly level, earth level, and Xuan level, and each level is divided into three levels: superior, middle, and down, and the secret records of cultivation exercises and martial arts are generally separated, and sometimes there are some unique books that combine exercises and martial arts, and this kind of unique book because the exercises and martial arts are from a system, so compared to the exercises and martial arts recorded separately, its power is not the same, if you meet people who practice this kind of unique book in the future, you must pay attention to it......"
"Well, the combined cultivation techniques and martial arts are more powerful than the separate cultivation exercises and martial arts, is there any reference between the two?" He Leng listened very fascinated, and quickly captured the key to it.
Theoretically, the combined exercises and martial arts can generally challenge the separate exercises and martial arts, that is to say, if your cultivation level is the fifth order of qi refining, and the cultivation is from the same system, if the level of this set of cheats is the lower level of the Xuan Rank, then it is not surprising that you can defeat the monks who practice separately for the cultivation level of the sixth order of Qi refining and the martial arts for the Xuan Rank Intermediate Vehicle...... Of course, this is just a theory, and it depends on the talent of each individual. ”
"It's so profound! My grandson is almost dizzy. "Hahahaha...... You lazy boy, remember as much as you can, anyway, these are common knowledge in the cultivation world, and you will gradually become familiar with it in the future. ”
He Leng tilted his head and thought for a long time, and soon thought of another question: "Then grandpa...... After cultivating to the Soul Saint, can you become an immortal?"
"Is it so easy to become an immortal? Is there really an immortal in this world?" Zhao Gang's eyes were a little confused for a moment, and then instantly returned to normal, "...... As for whether the Soul Saint is an immortal or not, I don't know, but what I am sure of is that the Soul Saint will never be the end of cultivation, and there must be other realms in the future, but even I don't know!"
"Grandpa, don't even you know what's behind the Soul Saint?" He Leng was surprised.
Zhao Gang said angrily: "Boy, what's so strange about that, your grandfather and I are not real immortals, how can we know everything in this world? Not to mention the Soul Saint, even the ultimate realm that the Soul Saint Continent thinks is as far as my grandfather knows, I haven't heard of anyone who can cultivate successfully, even the Soul Venerable Realm, the entire Apocalypse Continent's hundreds of millions of miles of territory, monks don't know how many, and there are only a few people who can reach this realm." ”
"Isn't there anyone whose cultivation has ever reached the Soul Saint Realm?
Zhao Gang glanced at He Leng, "Boy, I see that you are usually quite clever, why have you become so sluggish today? Legend has it that more than 2,000 years ago, there was a peerless genius surnamed Ye who reached that realm at the age of two hundred and seven, and disappeared for a year afterward. Now, whenever there is anything related to that peerless predecessor in the present world, it will cause a lot of bloody storm in the cultivation world. ”
"I know, everyone must want to get some words from the things used by that senior, so as to get a glimpse of the door to the Soul Sacred Realm. Am I right, grandpa?"
"Count you kid still a little insightful. However, a large part of it is also the result of someone fanning the wind in order to profit from it. ”
"Grandpa, tell your grandson the story of the Apocalypse Continent!" Seeing that grandpa closed his eyes and recuperated, he finally had this opportunity to let grandpa open the conversation, He Leng was willing to let go lightly, and for a while he pulled the old man's beard and sprinkled coquettishly.
"Okay boy, if you want to listen to the story, there will be time, let's drift on the sea for some time, go in and rest, digest what I just said, and from tomorrow, I will teach you the introductory method of refining qi......"
The old man brushed away He Leng's paws, and his tone was full of doting!
