"Hey, I can't hide it from your old man. Elder Kaiyang laughed, and said loudly: "I haven't talked to anyone for many years, my hands are very itchy, Master Du asked me to show my real skills in the formation, not to say ten percent, eighty percent is there, I originally estimated that no one can get by, at least among the young disciples, except for Qing Ning and Yun Zheng, who knows that it is really ......."

"Then I'll have to surprise you even more. ”

The head of the sect was happy on his face, picked up the teacup, took two sips slowly, and saw Elder Kaiyang show a look of surprise and anticipation before he said slowly: "Let me tell you the truth, not only have you been passed, but the entire magic circle has been broken, except for ......."

"What?!" Before the words fell, Elder Kaiyang stood up suddenly, he didn't care about listening to the master's "except", only focused on the first half of the sentence, and the entire magic circle was broken?

"Who, who exactly is the challenger?"

"It's a young disciple of our Moon Spring Sect. The head saw his thoughts, as if he was answering, but he didn't give an answer at all: "It's not Qingning, it's not Yunzheng, it's another." ”

"I know it won't be them, but this ...... I don't know about this man. ”

Elder Kaiyang became excited, rubbed his hands, and paced back and forth in the room, obviously he was itching, but he also knew that the head of the house would not directly say the answer.

Seeing Elder Kaiyang like this, Song Yi couldn't help but glance at the master, and the master's gaze also happened to sweep over, still narrowly and forbearing, Song Yi understood, didn't say a word, and silently held back a smile.

"Oh, don't go around in circles, I'm dizzy. The head of the sect waved his hand at Elder Kaiyang, and said with a smile: "We have another talent in the Yuequan Sect, this is a good thing, as for who this person is......

Speaking of this, he looked at Song Yi and asked, "Young man, who do you say it will be?"

Song Yi was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect the head of the sect to throw the question at him, and Elder Kaiyang also turned around and looked at him condescendingly, waiting for him to answer.

Song Yi shook his head secretly, the head of the heart path is really in the same vein as Mo Qingning in this regard, no, it should be said that Mo Qingning's bad taste may be taught by the head of the sect.

After thinking about it, Song Yi said: "This person must not be a well-known disciple of our Yuequan Sect, so he has never attracted the attention of the elders, maybe his own qualifications are not bad, but he has been dormant for several years, and now he has finally become a blockbuster." ”

"Hmm......" Elder Kaiyang nodded, and wanted to say something, but the head of the sect had already spoken: "Don't think about it, I have already made arrangements for this person-such a talent, wouldn't it be a pity not to use it?" Don't worry, his identity will be revealed soon, and you don't need to worry about it anymore." ”

"It's decided, the one in the magic circle doesn't count, I have to have another game with him when I have time back, so that I can meet this rising star, a young talent!"

"Well said, well said. The head looked at Song Yi again: "You heard it all, just to be a witness, when our big event is over, Elder Kaiyang will have a competition here." ”

“…… Be. ”

Song Yi lowered his head and smiled.

Soon, Elder Kaiyang said goodbye and left, leaving only the head of the house and Song Yi in the room.

The sky is dark, the outline of the mountains and rivers fades, blending into the night, through the window, you can see the lights of the various buildings of the Yuequan Sect below, and the ancestral garden is like a night ship suspended in the sea of light.

"How did Elder Kaiyang know that I had challenged the magic circle?" Song Yi couldn't help but ask.

"When your master made it back then, Elder Kaiyang asked for it. He's anxious, he's still a martial idiot, and he always doesn't want to let go of the opportunity to compete, so he asks your master to add a trick to it, once someone challenges him, he can sense it. ”

"I see, it's really Master's masterpiece, but it's ......"

Song Yi hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "I don't know when Elder Kaiyang sensed that I was challenging him?" I felt that I had been fighting hard in the magic circle for a long time, and when I came out of the formation, it was only a moment, it was really amazing. ”

"This is the wonder of Master Du's magic circle. The head nodded and said: "The magic circle has its own independent and closed time and space, and the passage of time has nothing to do with the outside world, even if you are in it for three or five days, when you come out, you will automatically return to the time and place before entering the formation, which is set up early in the morning by the magic circle." However, the time in the two spaces is synchronized to a certain extent, for example, when you challenged Elder Kaiyang, you had already been in the magic circle for a while, if you counted it from the time you entered the formation, the time outside the formation happened to be at the end of last night, and he also sensed it at that time. In fact, what were you doing last night, when it was almost the end of last night?"

"At that time I was out of battle and was pranayama in my room. ”

"Not bad. The head nodded and exclaimed: "Master Du's magic circle is really mysterious, I admire it tightly, but he said that this is nothing, and it is still far from the methods of the immortals." ”

The means of the immortals?

Song Yi was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but ask what it was like.

The head shook his head and sighed: "Master Du is not very detailed, but there are a few people among the immortals who have extremely high cultivation and are extremely powerful, and they have the ability to open a new heaven outside of this world and create a world. Some of these human-made worlds are completely independent existences, while others are subtly connected to the present world, and there are countless mysteries and wonders in them, which words really cannot describe. Master Du said that his magic circle could only maintain the size of a courtyard, and it could only be used once, which was really too small to mention in comparison. ”

"Open a new sky, create a new world...... And so it was. After I came out of the formation, I reminisced about all the things in the magic circle, and I had similar thoughts, but I felt that it was too mysterious and did not conform to ......."

He wanted to say that "it doesn't conform to his own perception of time and space", but after thinking about it, he was relieved again. After all, I still have a lot of mentality before I crossed over, including knowledge and common sense, but since I have changed the world and changed the rules, some things really have to be thrown away, so as not to be complacent and mediocre to disturb myself.

"Isn't it in line with ordinary people's cognition?" the head took his words, thought for a while, and nodded: "That's right, this is indeed beyond the understanding of ordinary people." How did you feel when your master finally came out?"

"I feel ......" Song Yi shook his head: "There is a world of difference, I am still far from Master." ”

"Don't be discouraged no matter how far you go, the blue is better than the blue, and the apprentice will always catch up with the master and win. ”

Song Yi smiled, he had this ambition, but now is far from the time to say such bold words: "Inherit the auspicious words of the master." ”

"Okay, let's not talk about this, you didn't come to me today for the purpose of the magic circle, I also have a lot of other things I want to tell you clearly, it's not early now, it's time for dinner, you eat with me, let's talk about something relaxed while eating." ”

"Huh?"

Song Yi was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the head of the family to keep himself for dinner, he didn't feel hungry, he could eat or not. With the improvement of cultivation, the true qi in the body is always full, and the physical body's demand for energy can be satisfied, and the body no longer only relies on food to provide energy, and the thirst for it naturally subsides and becomes dispensable.

As if to see his thoughts, the head shook his head and said: "Since stepping into the realm of real people, one meal and one meal have long ceased to be a necessity in life, and I can't help myself if I don't drink or eat for months, and sometimes I even feel a little repulsed, feeling redundant." However, I still have to let myself eat something from time to time, so as to feel the beauty of the five flavors, appreciate the fireworks in the world, and remind myself that I am a person, which is also a kind of practice. ”

After that, he didn't wait for Song Yi to digest and understand, so he ordered outside: "Tanuki slave, bring it up." ”

"Yes. ”

The raccoon slave who had been waiting outside pushed the door in, and the cups and plates were placed on the table between the two, with five dishes and one soup, meat and vegetables, all of which were quite exquisite, with good color and flavor, which made people have an appetite at a glance.

After setting up the dishes, the tanuki slave fed the two of them again, set up the tableware, nodded, and silently withdrew.

Song Yi pondered the words of the master, and suddenly felt a little hungry.

As the cultivation is improved, it is true that you can not drink or eat, as long as you are not seriously injured and your true qi is unhindered, you will not die of hunger or thirst. However, this also means that the distance between the cultivator and the "human world" is getting farther and farther away, from a mortal with flesh and blood who needs three meals to become a cultivator who sucks wind and drinks dew and is driven by true qi, and even an immortal.

The higher the cultivation, the farther away from the red dust, the diet is only a small aspect, and more importantly, will you lose yourself in the practice, forget your roots and origins, and gradually move away from the world, and your state of mind will also be alienated from mortals, like a curling smoke, floating in the air, not connecting with the land.

Being high up, the mentality is alienated, unable to experience the joys and sorrows of ordinary people, no longer understanding the lives of ordinary people, and even forgetting that he was once one of the ordinary people.

The road of cultivation is long, even if you go to the immortals, you must never forget that you have been down-to-earth, and you are one with the small and ephemeral red dust, and you share joys and sorrows.

The taste of the world is refreshing.

With a sigh, Song Yi picked up the dishes and chopsticks: "The master has learned the right lesson." ”

"It's not my teaching, it's your master's. The head of the house gave Song Yi a piece of meat and said lightly: "He also taught me this in the past." ”

Hey?

As soon as he heard this, Song Yi immediately put down his chopsticks and asked, "Master, how can he teach you?"

The head of the family has white hair, and there are quite furrows on his face, looking like an old immortal, but the master looks at it at most thirty years old, and he is a guest of the Yuequan Sect, how can there be a teaching?

"It's a long story, let's eat first, and then let's talk about it in another place. ”

“…… Be. ”

With a full stomach full of questions, Song Yi accompanied the head of the family to dinner, and when the raccoon slave cleaned up, the two moved to another room.

Stepping into it, Song Yi found that this was the clean room he had been to last time, and the last time, he saw a hanging scroll painted with the images of the four true spirits here, and listened to the master explain the level of cultivation, and then the two talked about the tragedy of the Nine Egret Palace, the shadow of the devil's breath......

At this moment, the layout in the clean room has changed, and all five sets of hanging scrolls have been removed and replaced with another batch of picture scrolls. The scrolls vary slightly in size and are staggered in height, obscuring almost all the walls. Some of the scrolls have been slightly yellowed, and some of the pictures are slightly old, while others are still very new.

What these scrolls have in common is that they all depict portraits of people, each of which is the figure of a person.
