Chapter 8: The Sky and the Mystery

The silent night, cool as water, and the west wind, has a mint fragrance!

Ling Xiao looked down at the green belt downstairs, immediately smiled, and scolded: "I just said, it's like making a movie, and I thought it was because my feelings were too delicate, it turned out that there was really mint ......"

The green belt occupies a large area, like a small garden, with a large amount of mint grass in the middle exuding a charming fragrance, and several kinds of flowers and leafy plants are dotted around.

I have to say that the neighborhood is very quiet, and it doesn't look like it's in the middle of the city at all.

Of course, if there are still people partying outside on a cold day, it is called a stupid no-pull!

After several hours of traveling, at one o'clock in the afternoon, Ling Xiao followed Xu Tianxiong and the others to finally arrive at their destination, Zhonghai City.

Songhu District, Oriental Garden Community! This is a very ordinary community with good security measures.

Originally, Xu Tianxiong wanted Ling Xiao to live in his villa around the mountain, so that he would have a good time to take care of him sooner or later, but Ling Xiao insisted on refusing, and after thinking about it again, Xu Tianxiong decided to arrange Ling Xiao here!

"You still have property here?"

When he came to the Oriental Garden Community, Ling Xiao fell in love with this place at a glance, but what he liked was that the quiet and beautiful beauty here was not luxurious, but for Xu Tianxiong, who was worth hundreds of millions, it seemed very ordinary here, but he didn't expect Xu Tianxiong to have a property here, so he asked curiously.

"Well, I bought it a few years ago, and it's been vacant for a long time, if you like this house, I'll give it to you, so you can have a place to stay in Zhonghai. ”

"How do you have a property here?"

"Ahem, this thing...... It's a long story!"

"Long story short......"

"This ...... I don't want to say it!"

"Didn't you buy it from your daughter?!"

"It's none of your business!"

"Why did you secretly buy a house without telling your daughter?"

“...... You...... Can you control it? Can't stop it, can't stop pulling it down!"

"To be a thief, to be angry?"

“......”

The result of the conversation between the two can be imagined, Xu Tianxiong was angry and left, using Xu Tianxiong's evaluation of Ling Xiao when he left, this guy is shameless!

"Alas, take a look, this is the consequence of owing favors to others, come out and pay it back sooner or later, Lao Xu is no exception, as the old saying goes: Father and son pay off! This catastrophe should be in you, so it should be on the buddy in disguise, after all, no matter what the buddy says, you can't watch the daughter of the life-saving benefactor die like this, right?"

"As the so-called lice are too many and are not afraid of biting, anyway, they have been tortured by the power of the 'Five Decays of Heaven and Man' for many years, and they still don't believe it, what can they do with this little cause and effect?"

201, Building 3, Community, this is the place where Ling Xiao settled for a long time after that, at this moment he sat cross-legged on the balcony, muttering in his mouth, subconsciously touching his chest, and the bare skin can be clearly seen, a palm-sized tattoo is revealed.

"The mysterious bronze tripod, a gift from the extraterritorial Big Dipper Galaxy, what secrets do you have, and why hasn't there been any movement since you saved my life?"

If someone hears Ling Xiao's self-talk, they must be shocked, a few years ago, it was because of a tripod, the chickens and dogs of various countries jumped, it was the 'ding' from outside the sky, which brought great shock and mystery to people, and it may be related to the civilization outside the sky, and has great research value, but in the end, the whereabouts of the 'ding' were missing.

Could it be that this brand is not related to the 'extraterrestrial tripod'? But why is there only one brand left, and where does the real tripod go?

Looking at the 'tripod-shaped' imprint in the center of his chest, Ling Xiao felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

For three years, Ling Xiao tried every means to study the secret of the 'Ding' on his chest, but unfortunately, the bronze Ding was silent, if Ling Xiao didn't know that this mysterious artifact was floating in his body, I am afraid he would have thought that this was just an ordinary brand.

"The five decays of heaven and man, every cultivator must face the catastrophe of heaven and earth, this is the most severe test that God has brought to cultivators, and it is the culprit who killed nine out of nine monks in this heaven and earth, since Qin, the cultivation has become more and more difficult, buddy has finally broken through to this realm, but he has to face such a catastrophe so early, it is really unfair. ”

"When other people's 'five decays of heaven and man' come, it will take a hundred or even hundreds of years later, why does Lao Tzu have to endure such suffering when he is only in his twenties? If it weren't for this Ding, I'm afraid my buddy would have already returned to the underworld. ”

Ling Xiao's face was full of helplessness, helplessness for the bronze tripod, and even more at a loss for the so-called 'five decays of heaven and man'.

There are cultivators in the world, before the Qin, they often called themselves 'qi practitioners', and after the Qin, they were mostly called 'warlocks', until the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, some people called themselves hermit cultivators or monks, and then they have been used to this day.

The monks practice, pay attention to the perception of the way of heaven and reach the will of heaven, in order to seek the verification of immortality, and obtain great power.

It's just that there is reincarnation in the world, all living beings are equal, whether it is ants or humans, they all have a lifespan limit, which is restricted by the cycle of life and death, and if they want to break this rule, God will naturally send many calamities to punish these people.

So there is the 'Heavenly Tribulation'!

As mentioned above, 'entering the Tao' is the dividing line between the mundane and the celestial, and before entering the Dao, one can only be regarded as a 'warrior' of the mundane, and only after truly entering the Tao can one be qualified to be called a 'monk'.

There is also a unified way of judging the strength of a person's force in the world, but the division is relatively rough, and the title is naturally very different from that of the cultivation world.

Before entering the Dao, he was divided into energy levels, and there were twelve orders of magnitude, taking the Heavenly Wolf as an example, if strictly speaking, he was actually only an eleventh level peak strength.

And there is no basis for the division after entering the Dao, after all, those who can enter the Tao are all top masters, and the masters have their own dignity, and they will never sacrifice themselves to some mortals to do so-called research.

Therefore, this division is relatively rough, divided into S-class, SS-class, SSS class, etc., of course, the real power cannot be measured by these crude titles at all.

There are only a few sects headed by Huaxia whose practitioners have their own system, and there is a detailed division of each cultivation realm, which has a long history, and has been used since ancient times, such as Buddhism and Taoism.

Here is an example of the Chinese 'Taoism' cultivated by Ling Xiao.

There are many forms of 'entering the Tao' alone, such as martial arts, paintings, books, and even sounds.

Ling Xiao once saw a woman who entered the Tao with sound, a guzheng was vertical and horizontal, and as soon as the sound sounded, the heavens and the earth were killed, and that scene was not much better than the Shura Hell, which made Ling Xiao have been palpitating.

As for the realm of monasticism, the division is even stricter.

Those who have just entered the Tao call it 'breaking the void', and once they have an epiphany of the way of heaven and see through all the vanity of the red dust.

Then there are the 'Bogu Realm' that does not eat the fireworks of the world, the 'Transformation God Realm' that refines the Five Gods and Transforms the Heavenly Palace, the 'Tribulation Period' where the Nine Heavenly Thunders destroy all things, the 'Catastrophic Transformation Realm' that comes from the curse of heaven and earth, and the 'Heavenly Transformation Realm' that can be called the ultimate leap!

It is rumored that there are three major cultivation realms since then, but for some reason they have been wiped out in the long river of time, and there is no record of the corresponding realm, so I will not mention this matter for the time being.

And the realm of catastrophe among them is also called the 'Five Decays of Heaven and Man', which is also the dilemma that Ling Xiao has been facing.

Seeing this, some people may think that since Ling Xiao's cultivation realm is so profound, isn't it rare for the world to resist his strength?

Not really!

In this realm, not only will the cultivation plummet, but even the five internal organs will gradually wither and die.

This step once blocked countless people, and now, it is Ling Xiao's turn to face it!

It's just that others have waited until this step, but they have gone through a long time and have plenty of time to prepare, but Ling Xiao broke this record and ushered in the biggest challenge in his life at the age of just over 20.

If it weren't for the mysterious bronze tripod beside him at that time, I'm afraid Ling Xiao would have died three years ago.

The bronze tripod was mysteriously anomalous, it was only three inches tall when Ling Xiao got it, but in fact it was one and a half meters tall when it was first unveiled.

When the five elements rebelled, the gods dissipated, and the heavenly palace was about to be destroyed, it was the bronze tripod that suddenly made a mutation, turning into a streamer that 'broke into' Ling Xiao's five internal organs, and then suppressed everything, including the so-called curse of heaven and earth, completely imprisoning the ominous and strange in the heavenly palace in the body.

The origin of the heavenly palace and the gods comes from the 'god realm', at the beginning of the gods, the power of the five elements of heaven and earth was set to refine the five internal organs, and then opened up the five heavenly palaces, standing side by side with the five elements, and finally each heavenly palace will give birth to a god, the gods chant day and night, tell the truth of heaven and earth, and achieve the five elements of the gods.

"A tripod out, suppressing all things, even the catastrophe known as the 'curse of heaven and earth' is no exception, this is my great luck and great misfortune, although I saved my life, but it is also equivalent to abolishing my whole body strength, so that I can only spend three years to re-practice and comprehend, until not long ago I re-entered the 'Dao realm'. ”

"Dare to ask who else in this world can be more unlucky than me? Who can be worse than me...... Ah~"

Facing the silent night, Ling Xiao was gloomy**, and after desperately pouring a few sips of tea brewed in the best red robe into his mouth, he used 'wolf howl' to vent the dissatisfaction in his heart.

"I can't stand it! What kind of noise in the middle of the night, and let people not sleep, believe it or not, my aunt and grandmother beat you up and threw you into the bureau?"

Ling Xiao's 'howl' finally aroused the dissatisfaction of the neighbors, and suddenly a little elf-like head poked out from next door, glared at Ling Xiao angrily, and scolded with a posture of 'if you don't accept it, you will be served'.
