Chapter 5 Wisdom washes the soul
The days of wandering are very hard, but fortunately, Yao Jiao's body is still strong, and he is generally difficult to be bullied on the road of wandering.
In Yao Jiao's own opinion, although there is a family that cannot be returned, a father who does not want to admit it, a brother who does not want to admit it, and a mother who cannot see it, but there is no worries about it. I can find my own hopes and ideals wholeheartedly, and I just hope to find someone who can teach me the way of immortality. Immortality has been planted in Yao Jiao's heart, and now it is about to grow and sprout. Sixteen years old, for Yao Jiao, Yao Jiao is not small, if there is no ancestral hall to sell the family, maybe he will be able to get married this year, but Yao Jiao has no concept of marriage.
Since I embarked on the road of searching, I went to various places, and before leaving, I suddenly remembered what the master said, "The year should be, the age is different, there is nothing, there is nothing, there is nothing", and I feel that I have comprehended a lot, which seems to be saying that I am talking about myself, what is the difference between having and not being. Why not break free from the fetters and let the world go. Thinking of this, Yao Jiao suddenly thought about it. Yang Tian laughed a few times, and left Zhang Xianzhen quickly, never looking back. In his opinion, what is the difference between Zhang Xianzhen and not. If you have the opportunity to come back naturally, if you don't have a chance to go back, you won't come back, so there is nothing to worry about.
Speaking of the Master of Intent, Yao Jiao felt that he should go to the Dahuiluo Temple to see if he could see the Master of Intent again. Five days later, Yao Jiao came to Nanzhou again, and the sunset was about to set. Thinking of Master Yi, it was as if he was an old friend, and he wanted to go and see it in a hurry, but he didn't change his breath. Then he passed through Nanzhou, walked towards the south gate, and when he walked to the Dahuiluo Temple, the sky was already dark. Yao Jiao quietly slipped into the Great Huiluo Temple, in front of the main hall, there was still no one on the open ground, remembering that when the master opened the altar lecture, it was crowded with people, what a situation, Yao Jiao couldn't help but sigh.
Just as he was sighing, he heard a voice coming in the distance, and it felt like two monks coming over and hiding, and one of the monks complained: "How can this old bald donkey be so good at buying people's hearts, he has been away for so long, and people still come to him every day." Another monk said, "Who blames this old bald donkey for having such a good ability, if you had such a good ability, you would have become a national teacher a long time ago." Haha......"
The two monks gradually left far away, Yao Jiao breathed a sigh of relief, he had some opinions on these two monks in his heart, and when he was about to come out, he only heard someone behind him "Amitabha Buddha" in his ears, Yao Jiao's heart jumped, he quickly turned around, turned around, and saw that the master was not far away and smiled at Yao Jiao, "Donor, it's so late, why do you come to the Han Temple?" Yao Jiao said: "Master, the juniors came to ask the master for advice." Master Yi said: "You and I have a fate, why don't you talk about it in the cold house." Yao Jiao said: "That's nagging." ”
Subsequently, the intention was to lead the way in front of the master, without saying a word, Yao Jiao followed behind, and walked away from the Dahuiluo Temple about a mile away, where a thatched house stood alone, intended for the master to go in, lighting the lamp, Yao Jiao went in to see, a very small house was divided into two rooms, one side of the kitchen stove, the other side only a bed, a table and three stools.
Master Yi said: "The humble house is simple, please don't mind, please sit." ”
Yao Jiao sat down and said, "It's okay, it's okay. "I was even more amazed at the simplicity and refinement of the master.
The master said: "It is a fate that the old man and the donor can meet twice. If the donor has any questions, the old man must know and not say anything. ”
Yao Jiao said: "In Xia Yao Jiao, there is Master Lao." Master, I heard what those two monks said just now, why didn't the master take action?"
The master laughed, and his face was even more terrifying. "Why fight with the worldly people. ”
Yao Jiao said: "The kid is vulgar, and the master is not strange." ”
The master said: "The old man looked at the benefactor Yao, and he was more calm than the last time he met, and the donor gained a lot of understanding. ”
Yao Jiao stood up and bowed and said: "What the master said at the opening of the altar, there is a reluctant invitation below, I want to worship the master as a teacher and learn the way of immortality, I don't know what the master thinks?"
The master said: "If I don't accept you, in fact, the old man has learned very shallowly, Your Excellency has a lot of wisdom, and the real master to be found will be successful." However, if the donor does not dislike the humble house, he can spend some time, and the old man will tell you some secular routines. ”
Yao Jiao stood up again, bowed deeply, and said, "Thank you, Master." ”
In the next few days, Yao Jiao stayed in the thatched hut of the master, and the master talked about the world, and Yao Jiao listened to it with relish and was very taught.
On this day, when the master came back, he saw Yao Jiao and said, "How about Lao Qu telling Xiaoyou about the state of the Xuanshen Continent today?"
Yao Jiao saluted and said, "Let the master bother." ”
Master Yi said: "How old is the old man, he has traveled to the mainland for many years, and he still knows a little about the situation on the mainland. The Xuanshen Continent is complex and multi-country, and it restricts each other. To put it simply, the Xuanshen Continent has a population of more than one billion, but it is divided between two empires, three kingdoms, and two island countries, and these countries have a total of fourteen state cities. It is generally known as the Seven Kingdoms and Fourteen States. ”
Yao Jiaoqi said: "Island country? Xuanshen Continent also includes island country?"
The master said: "Yes, the Xuanshen Continent is surrounded by the vast sea, and in the northwest waters of the continent, there is the island country of the Western Regions, and the state capital of this island country is Mozhu Prefecture, and in the eastern sea area of the mainland, there is the East China Sea State, and its state city is Haiting Prefecture; these two kingdoms have only one state, so Mozhu Prefecture and Haiting Prefecture are also the capital states of both countries. The two major empires on the mainland are the Wang Xin Empire and the Tianlun Empire, the two empires are bordered by each other, of which the Wang Xin Empire is located in the east of the mainland, and the Wang Xin Empire is divided into three states from north to south, namely Daqiu Prefecture, Gongyue Prefecture and Tianfu Prefecture; And the kingdom where we are located is the kingdom of Shenmeng, and the two states of the kingdom of Shenmeng are Nanzhou and Xuanshu Prefecture, and north of Nanzhou is Xuanshu Prefecture. Immediately to the south of the Kingdom of Shenmeng is the Kingdom of Quyuan, the two states of the Kingdom of Quyuan are Guanzhou and Taigu, Guanzhou is in the south of Taigu Prefecture, and Guanzhou is also the southernmost part of the entire continent. In the northernmost part of the continent is the Kingdom of Dahe, and the two states of the Kingdom of Dahe run east-west, with Jinzhou in the west and Yangzhou in the east. Among them, Tianfu Prefecture, Tongming Prefecture, Xuanshu Prefecture, Taigu Prefecture and Jinzhou are the capitals of the five major countries in the mainland. ”
As he spoke, the master took a small wooden stick and drew the basic map style of the countries on the continent on the ground.
After Yao Jiao looked at it, he asked, "Master, if I look at the map, with the momentum of the two empires, it should be possible to annex at least the three kingdoms, why is it still like this today?"
Master Yi said with a smile: "Little friendly eyesight, but little friend only knows one and doesn't know the other." Although the two empires have ambitions, it is rare for them to gnaw the hard bone of the Shenmeng Kingdom, because the Shenmeng Kingdom has always been a neutral country and does not participate in any wars, but it has the force to suppress the entire continent. Do you know why?"
Yao Jiao said: "I don't know, please ask the master for advice." ”
The master said: "Because the Shenmeng Kingdom has the Xuanshen Underground Palace, the Xuanshen Underground Palace is the place where the most powerful force in the Xuanshen Continent "Demon Army" exists. Lao Wei never observed the power of the demon army, but he heard an old friend talk about it, although the demon army is only more than 20 people, but all of them are eighth-level powerhouses, and there are only twelve eighth-level powerhouses in the entire continent, and the eighth-level powerhouses from other dimensions are also restricted by the demon army, which shows the power of the demon army. According to his old friend, the most powerful is not only this, but there are four demon army leaders who are even the most powerful in the continent and can destroy a city with one hand. But the demon army also has a time when it is deflated, when Emperor Wang Xin dominates the world, he defeated the strongest leader of the demon army, unified the Xuanshen Continent, and established it as the first year of Wang Xin. Later generations called it the first year of Wang Xin's calendar. About three hundred years after Wang Xin, Emperor Wang Xin left the Xuanshen Continent and arrived in another space, and the Xuanshen Continent was in chaos again, basically forming the current state form, and the demon army once again established supreme authority. No matter how the continent changes, the demon army still stands. ”
Yao Jiao asked, "Where did the demon army come from? Why do they have such a powerful force, and why don't they unify the continent?"
The master said: "Little friend asked well. According to my old friend, the demon army has always come from another dimension, and the main thing is to maintain the magic array of this continent, and at the same time, to stabilize the continent from war. Because these people in the Demon Army are cultivators, they don't care about the idea of unifying the continent or not, in their eyes, whoever is the emperor is the same. ”
"As we said just now, the Shenmeng Kingdom has the support of the demon army, and the two empires cannot eat the Shenmeng Kingdom. For the Quyuan Kingdom, the two empires do not border each other on land, and land warfare is impossible, and the Shenmeng Kingdom will not give way; However, on the one hand, the Quyuan Kingdom formed an alliance with the Shenmeng Kingdom to develop coastal defense, and the Quyuan Kingdom had the world-famous 'Guanzhou Warriors', and the two empires were also looking forward to it. ”
"And the Dahe Kingdom in the north seems to be dangerous, but I don't know that the Dahe Kingdom has already formed an alliance with the two island countries of the East China Sea and the Western Regions Island Country, so the two empires are surrounded on three sides, and they dare not use force easily, and many 'magic bamboo magicians' make the two empires very jealous. In this way, the countries on the continent formed an alliance with each other to form four major blocs, which have restrained each other and have continued to this day. ”
Yao Jiao said, "What's the matter with the 'Guanzhou Martial Artist' and the 'Demon Bamboo Mage'?"
Master Yi said: "There are two kinds of cultivators in the Xuanshen Continent, one is a magician, the other is a martial artist, and of course there are a very small number of demonic and martial dual cultivators, generally speaking, there are many magicians in the south and many martial artists in the north. But there are two exceptions, in Guanzhou, Quyuan Kingdom, there are many martial artists, and they are rampant on the mainland, because the Guanzhou martial artists who travel to the mainland are at least fifth-level martial artists, which is very powerful. However, in the Magic Bamboo Prefecture of the Western Regions Island Country, it is rich in mages, and there are many famous mages on the continent, all of whom are Magic Bamboo Mages, which is extremely impressive. ”
Yao Jiao said, "Dare to ask what level of cultivator the master is?"
The master said: "Lao Qu is a seventh-level martial artist. ”
Yao Jiao exclaimed: "Then who are you better than Yunkun, Zou Jianshi, and Ruan Bu?"
The master smiled: "Xiaoyou is really well-informed, and he actually knows that there are three masters in the Sitong Gate." Brother Tan, Brother Zou and Brother Zou should be on par, Brother Tan and Brother Zou are both seventh-level martial artists, I don't know if Brother Tan will break through, if he wants to break through, then he will leave Lao Ke behind. And I heard that Ruan Bu, a rare genius who has been around for hundreds of years, has reached the seventh-level beginner realm with his dual cultivation of demonic martial arts, and with his cultivation speed, he may have reached the seventh-level intermediate level now. Although it is not as good as its senior brother, it is not far away. And the old man is the happiest, because the little friend is very close to us, which is really gratifying. Xiaoyou is now free of worries, and he is practicing hard. ”
Yao Jiao said: "Thanks to the master's praise, the kid deserves it." By the way, master, there is something I don't know whether to talk about or not?"
The master said, "But it doesn't hurt to say it. ”
Yao Jiao said: "I met Ruan Bu, Tan Yunkun and Zou Jianshi four years ago, when a Phantom Running Thunder Tiger occupied a black boulder, and was later discovered by Ruan Bu and defeated the Phantom Running Thunder Tiger. And there is a text engraved on that black boulder. ”
The more the master listened, his face became solemn, and when he listened to the stone inscription of the black boulder that Yao Jiao said, and when he passed this time, he had no black boulder found. The master's brows furrowed together, and he didn't move, and after a while, the master said, "What Xiaoyou said is incredible. The skill of this Mingwen predecessor alone is beyond the reach of my generation, and this senior has no hostility towards me and me. However, if the Shen flint is made into armor by some people with ulterior motives, then the mainland will be in turmoil and war. If Lao Qu's guess is correct, this Shen flint has been transported back to Yuyin Mountain by Sitongmen. With the old man understanding the spell of the Four Gates, it is impossible to refine this Shen flint as armor, and there is no big problem for the time being. But Xiaoyou, this matter is extraordinary, and you can't say it. It is best for the little friend not to know about this in order to save his life. Otherwise, when it comes out of the mainland, I don't know how many turbulent waves it will set off. Xiaoyou is also a rare peace. Good, good, Amitabha!"
Yao Jiao nodded firmly, but what the master said stirred up waves in his heart, and he thought it was nothing. However, as soon as Master Jing Yi said, it seems that Shen Flint is related to the stability and peace of the mainland.
The next day, Master Yi talked to Yao Jiao about the cultivation of the Xuanshen Continent.
It turns out that almost all mainland cultivators are the body of the five elements, that is, the body of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, and generally speaking, as long as cultivation triggers the energy in the body of ordinary people, they can become cultivators and have the ability to control nature. Cultivation is the ability to control nature and attack in order to protect oneself. On the mainland, it is divided into martial artists and magicians, all of which are divided into eight levels, of which the martial artists are junior martial artists, intermediate martial artists, senior martial artists, and saint-level martial artists (referred to as "martial saints"), and the magicians are junior magicians, intermediate magicians, senior magicians, and saint-level magicians (referred to as "magic saints"), among which the junior martial artists (magicians) are the first, second, and third levels, the intermediate martial artists (magicians) are the fourth and fifth levels, the senior martial artists (magicians) are the sixth and seventh levels, and the saint-level martial artists (magicians) are the eighth levels. Whether it is a warrior or a mage, you can only fly in the sky as long as you reach the middle level of the seventh level. And when a martial artist or magician reaches the fifth level, it is divided into ranks, including the beginner level, the middle level, the large level, and the peak four levels.
After a few more days, Master Yi came back and said: "Yao Xiaoyou, the old man was invited by the old friend and was ready to go to the meeting. ”
Yao Jiao bowed and said: "Thank you, master, the grace of the master professor, Yao Jiao is unforgettable." ”
The master said: "Then tomorrow's old man will practice for the little friend." ”
Yao Jiao said: "There is Master Lao." ”
The next day, the master intended to replace the wine with tea, and after bidding farewell to Yao Jiao, he turned into a streamer and headed north.
Leaving the residence of the master, Yao Jiao thought to himself, this master is really a master of the world!
Subsequently, in the past year, Yao Jiao almost traveled all over the Shenmeng Kingdom, but there was no more news. Yao Jiao is still full of confidence, he believes that he will gain, will find a real master to teach him, so that he can become a real cultivator, after a few days of study with Master Yi, Yao Jiao understands, if you want to live forever, you can only become a cultivator, when the cultivation of spells or fighting qi reaches the fifth level, you can have the opportunity to have the ultimate life of the Xuanshen Continent three hundred years old. At the age of three hundred, as long as you can cultivate to the eighth level, then you can reach another dimension and gain a longer life by completing the transformation task. Now Yao Jiao's goal is very clear, that is, to find a famous teacher, a real master outside the world, to apprentice. For this reason, he felt that everything he had given was worth it, and as long as he could become a cultivator under the teaching of a famous teacher, he could sacrifice anything.
In the past nearly a year, he has nothing to worry about. I occasionally think of my mother, but I never went back to Zhang Xianzhen. Even if he passed through Zhao Zhuang once, he didn't go in to see his grandparents. When he almost finished traveling to the Shenmeng Kingdom, he suddenly had an idea, the Shenmeng Kingdom did not have his future master, why didn't he "go out" to look for it? So he had the idea of traveling to the entire Xuanshen Continent, and remembered the situation on the continent that the master told him, he thought about going to the Tianlun Empire to find out first, after all, the Tianlun Empire is densely populated, it is said to have a population of nearly 200 million, and the territory is vast, there should be many masters who live in seclusion among the people. Just go.
Yao Jiao first passed through the border pass of the Tianlun Empire and the Shenmeng Kingdom, because many countries have not fought on the mainland for many years, so the border pass army simply searched for Yao Jiao and let him go.
