There are people under the walls of Yong'an East City.

In the dense woods on the outskirts of Bamboo Mountain, the two people who had been standing here since the beginning of Bai Jiu's climb still had no intention of leaving. Seeing Bai Jiu walking down the bamboo mountain, and then following the crowd into the city, the two still did not leave.

Because I don't know when it began, at the foot of Zhushan Mountain, which is the closest to the forest, a young woodcutter appeared.

He has been cutting bamboo, and every time his axe swings into the bamboo, there is always a crisp sound.

And with this soft sound, there will be a slight change in the bamboo forest that is close to it, and the breath of heaven and earth is like compressed mud where it is difficult to surge, let alone people.

With a soft click, a slight crack appeared on the ghost face of the remnant sword, and then with each drop of the woodcutter's axe, new cracks appeared in the mask. Gradually, when the woodcutter cut down this green bamboo, the complete ghost face was already like a spider web, and it could be broken at any time.

Changkong's expression was even more ugly, his forehead was full of fine beads of sweat, and his whole clothes were soaked at some point.

The woodcutter seemed to be tired, so he put the cut green bamboo into the basket behind him, and then glanced at the woods, intentionally or not, and walked towards the mountain.

The two people in the forest were relieved in an instant.

In that inconspicuous little pavilion outside the city.

The two old men finally finished playing chess.

The winners and losers are naturally Dean Mei, and Dean Liu accounts for a small part, and this small part is because in the process, Dean Liu regretted several moves.

Seeing Bai Jiu disappear into the crowd, Dean Liu laughed and said, "Your Confucian holy land today is really interesting. ”

Dean Mei shook his head and said, "The formation can be walked through, and the mind is not yet mature, but the result should only be a matter of time." ”

Dean Liu said, "Then congratulations." ”

Dean Mei smiled and said, "Finally said something reassuring. ”

The two old men, who were also old friends for many years, immediately put away the chessboard in the pavilion and left.

Under the bamboo mountain, the huge green trees have their backs to the sun, and a large shadow has fallen.

Liu Xun got up and prepared to leave.

The shadow was blown by the wind and lifted a corner, and it turned out that there were always people there.

Liu Xun didn't look back, just stood where he was, and said softly: "It's really easy to kill an ordinary person quietly in Yong'an City. The death of a scholar in Qingfeng Temple can also be said to be the accidental result of the scholar's frailty. Even if you really die at the top of the Hidden Dragon Test, although the cost is very large, it will not affect the overall situation. But if a gentleman from Zhushan dies, then I wonder if the entire criminal department can bear it? Can the whole yew orchard withstand the pressure? ”

After saying that, he left, and he didn't look back from beginning to end.

There was no sound in the shadows, but I don't know how long it took for a wind to blow up in the woods, and it didn't lift a corner again.

..........

Looking at the sky, the spring sky is clear and blue.

Bai Jiu, who returned to Qingfeng Temple, did not go directly to his residence on the shore of Lin Ze Lake, but went to the library building.

The mental pressure on the third floor of the library building is already a dispensable existence for Bai Jiu, and there is no need for Bai Jiu to comprehend the cultivation methods in this now. So he went straight to the fourth floor, where only the gods could climb the floor.

The higher the floor, the smaller the space will be, and the space on the fourth floor, which is only half of the size of the first floor, does not look so wide, but there are also many wooden frames, which are relatively much more exquisite than the simplicity of the first floor. And the books placed on it are more ancient than the ones on the first floor. There are even books that have been faintly yellowed.

Only those who have reached the realm of divine deficiency can only have the ability to enter this fourth floor, and in the entire Qingfeng Courtyard, except for Bai Jiu and Tang Chun, there are a few big people, and there are few people who have such a realm. But there are also people on the fourth floor, and the faces of these people are obviously much older than Bai Jiu, and even the temples are white, even if there are young ones, they are just the age of young people, and they are fifteen, sixteen, or seven years old like Bai Jiu, but there is no one.

Bai Jiu's steps along the stairs were very light, and he couldn't attract anyone's attention. But when he searched for books on the shelves on both sides of the road, he was noticed by some people next to him.

These people were first surprised, and then they were puzzled, seeing that Bai Jiu's dress should still be a student studying in Qingfeng Academy, how could he climb to the fourth floor at such an age?

However, there are many people who have seen Bai Jiu, on the day of the release of the Qianlong trial list, Bai Jiu can be said to be the youngest leader of the Qianlong trial since the history of the list, and the youngest god shortage powerhouse in history.

The library building was silent only for the sound of flipping books, and even more so on the fourth floor, even if they recognized it, no one spoke. Bai Jiu nodded to those people and began to look for what he wanted.

That day in Dean Mei's small courtyard, Dean Mei poured two cups of tea and talked to him a lot.

The tea is from the best Longjing in Jiangnan Province, which is naturally mellow, but Bai Jiu still doesn't remember the taste. Bai Jiujiu remembered it very clearly, so he went down to Zhushan and came directly to this library.

That day, Liu Xun talked to him a lot, about that night and about his own discoveries. And Dean Mei is an analysis of these things, but there are still a lot of uncertainties in them, and Bai Jiu needs to find them by himself.

This world is very big, and there are many rumors that have not flowed out of the market, or those fantastic rumors have further added fuel and vinegar to the fact that they deviate more when they circulate.

For these rumors, Seifuin made a great summary of these rumors at the beginning of its early establishment, and at the same time found many books about these rural rumors that are rare in the world, and placed them in these four layers. Although these things are not very useful for spiritual practice, they are quite small for understanding the world.

This is also the reason why many of the older students of Seifuin will always return here to revisit this library when they reach the divine shortage of cultivation.

Bai Jiu spread out his divine sense, and began to look for it in this library, his divine sense was like a spring breeze blowing, like gentle hands brushing those ancient books, and finally Bai Jiu was in a corner and found the book.

There was someone in the corner, a middle-aged man with slightly gray temples, he saw Bai Jiu coming, his expression was like everyone before, first the difference and then the doubt, but it soon changed to the relief that the older generation felt was hopeful.

Bai Jiu saluted, nodded with it, and then reached out and took out this and that book from the shelf.

The cover of this book is very beautiful, but the paper inside has been faintly yellowed, there is no title, no time, and I don't know who wrote it, only a few sentences at the beginning, which is easy to remember.

"Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs."

........

Since the beginning of the year, I don't know when, there is a breath in the world, this breath is incorporated into the human body, and then it can strengthen the body, enlighten the mind and refresh the mind, and people gradually call this breath the breath of heaven and earth.

The breath of heaven and earth is incorporated into the human body, and is transformed into true qi through absorption and operation in different ways. The strong can destroy stones and gold, and wander between heaven and earth.

This is also practice.

Since human beings have begun to practice, there have been rumors of the fairy world. It is rumored that when the cultivation reaches the highest level, fearless between heaven and earth, you can lead the gate of heaven into the world and become an immortal.

It is also rumored that the fairy world is in the land of the South China Sea, where there is a continent called Yun, and the world calls it Nanyun Zhou, which is the place that connects the world and the fairy world.

In addition to cultivating to the peak of becoming an immortal, Nanyun Continent appears in the human world once every thousand years, and at that time, mortal cultivators who step into this continent can talk to immortals and get their path to becoming immortals.

Now after countless years, this rumor has gradually not been believed, until a hundred years ago, it is also the legendary millennium, the strongest person in the world went to the South China Sea and did not return, the last Tang Emperor of the Tang Dynasty also disappeared in the South China Sea, and the world is multiplying many visions, and people gradually remembered this rumor.

And the most recent one was a spiritual rain that suddenly appeared between heaven and earth decades ago.

This rain is very unusual, not a continent, but the whole world.

The abundant raindrops are like spring water descending on the world, and it carries an extremely strong atmosphere of heaven and earth, and the breath of heaven and earth in the world reached an unprecedented level at that time.

During that period of time, the cultivation world was like a hundred flowers blooming, and countless cultivators broke through their hearts in this spiritual rain and reached a more advanced realm.

Then the waves on the coast of the South China Sea were raging, and there were mirage-like pavilions and pavilions. There are also green mountains surrounded by white clouds, which appear in the sky of the South China Sea like a picture. Then the sky fell and the broken sword cut through the painting, and the South China Sea roared, the vision dissipated, and the world returned to peace.

A thousand years of peaceful time, the rumored thousand-year covenant came, there were so many visions between heaven and earth, and there were even fairy swords falling from the sky, carrying with them the incomparably pure qi of heaven and earth, which was difficult to be absorbed by people at all.

Subsequently, His Majesty Emperor Yu and Lord Wusheng kissed each other, calmed the huge waves of the South China Sea, and brought back the rumored fairy sword.

..........

Bai Jiu knew that what happened next was what Liu Xun told him, before he practiced, there was a majestic black ocean similar to a lake of true qi in his body, and when he started practicing, as long as he touched the black ocean and absorbed the extremely pure true qi from it, the immortal sword would riot and reflect.

Dean Mei Hanxiang told him his guess that if there is really an immortal realm, and the year Bai Jiu was born was the year when the spiritual rain came, then would it really be as the legend said, Bai Jiu was the reincarnation of an immortal, an immortal in the world.

So why is there such a coincidence in the world?

The Bai family in the famous city was banned by the imperial court for no reason, if it wasn't for Bai Jiu's luck to survive, then the Bai family really didn't have any incense left in the world.

Among them, maybe the imperial court and Yew Garden really know something?

However, Bai Jiu knew that no matter how he guessed next, there was no answer to this question. Maybe it's really as Dean Mei said, as the most holy master in the whole world, Lord Wen Sheng may know something, but this is just a guess.

Bai Jiu closed the book and sighed softly, heaven and earth are unkind, and everything is a dog, so what is he?

If it is really as Dean Mei said, such a legendary thing has become a fact, and he has become the protagonist of this legend?

Bai Jiu was a little skeptical that every protagonist's life experience had to be so miserable. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but clench his fists.
