137, Lao Tzu is only sixteen years old
After eating, the coachman helped the two guys clean up the table together, and the young shopkeeper pulled Wang Xizhou to the table next to him to drink tea and chat, and also took out some melons and fruit snacks, and beckoned Bai Gu and Bai Xiaoxiao to go over to eat together.
Bai Gu glanced at the enthusiastic appearance of the young shopkeeper, and there was still some confusion in his heart.
It's not that the young shopkeeper doesn't know whether it's good or bad, it's just that Bai Gu is naturally a little receptive to strangers and doesn't want to be close.
But now it was just nightfall, and Bai Gu was embarrassed to say that he was going upstairs to go back to his room to sleep now, so he had to pull Bai Xiaoxiao to sit next to Wang Xizhou, staring at the desktop with his eyes fixed and not speaking.
Even when the young shopkeeper accosted him, Bai Gu just dealt with it casually, and then continued to sit and eat those melons and fruits with Bai Xiaoxiao.
Wang Xizhou put down the teacup and thought for a while, "The New Year is approaching, and the mountain god sacrifice on your side is almost here, right?" Is this year still the same as in previous years? ”
The young shopkeeper's hand pouring the tea paused, then immediately returned to normal, and pulled out a smile, "Almost, almost, it's just a matter of two days." If Mr. Wang and his friends are not in a hurry, they can wait until the end of the mountain god festival before leaving. ”
Wang Xizhou smiled and looked at Bai Gu, "Xiaobai, what do you say?" ”
Bai Gu just stuffed a sugar orange into his mouth, and was chewing on his cheeks.
Hearing Wang Xizhou's question, Bai Gu was stunned for a moment, "Huh? What mountain god festival? ”
The young shopkeeper added some tea to Bai Gu and Bai Xiaoxiao's cups, and explained with a smile: "There is a big mountain near us, called Jiaoyue Mountain. Legend has it that there is a female mountain god in the mountain, who controls the wind and rain and the harvest of crops in the vicinity. In order to have more harvests every year, we in Shayu Town are near the end of the year to decide on the day of the mountain god sacrifice, carry out the mountain god sacrifice, and pray for good weather in the coming year, peace and security, and abundant harvest. ”
Wang Xizhou also echoed: "The mountain god festival in Shayu Town is very exciting, and it can be regarded as a major feature. When Xizhou came here before, he happened to meet the mountain god sacrifice, and he was very lucky. ”
Bai Gu peeled a sugar orange and handed it to Bai Xiaoxiao, "Xiaoxiao, what do you say?" ”
This orange is quite sweet, not bad.
Bai Xiaoxiao took the sugar orange, tilted her head to look at Bai Gu, and then withdrew her gaze, looking at the sugar orange in her hand, "Brother, where you go, I will go." ”
After speaking, Bai Xiaoxiao lowered her head and began to eat sugar oranges.
Bai Gu thought for a while, took out a few bags of fried small fish, and poured them into a fruit bowl that had just been eliminated by him and Bai Xiaoxiao, "It's okay to take a look, just to have a long insight." ”
Wang Xizhou nodded, "Very good." ”
The young shopkeeper also had a smile on his face, "It's okay or not, the mountain god festival is good, there can be a lot of delicious food!" ”
Bai Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up, but he just continued to lower his head and silently ate sugar oranges.
Bai Gu glanced at Bai Xiaoxiao, reached out and rubbed her little head.
It's just that Bai Gu's afterglow swept over Wang Xizhou and the young shopkeeper, and there was a trace of vigilance flashing in his eyes.
——————
A knock on the door sounded, waking up the stunned Bai Gu.
Bai Gu got up and opened the door, and a slender young man stood at the door.
"Xiaobai, shouldn't disturb your rest, right?"
It turned out to be Wang Xizhou.
Bai Gu saw that it was Wang Xizhou, so he smiled, "It's still early, and I've just eaten enough, and I'm lying down in a panic." Brother Wang, come, come in and say. ”
Bai Gu welcomed Wang Xizhou into the room and poured him a glass of water, "Brother Wang, come here so late, what's the matter?" ”
Wang Xizhou smiled: "Aren't you still wondering about Xizhou's appearance in the afternoon?" Just now, the shopkeeper has been present, and Xizhou is embarrassed to talk about it. After all, he didn't understand the matter of cultivation. ”
Bai Gu smiled, "That's not necessarily, maybe after listening to people's understanding, I haven't understood yet, after all, I can't read." ”
Wang Xizhou waved his hand, "It's different, the shopkeeper is an ordinary person after all, Xiaobai, you have practice, and many things can still be understood at one point." ”
Bai Gu nodded and said, "I want to hear about it." ”
Wang Xizhou smiled and put his finger into the water cup, dipped it in some water, drew a horizontal line on the table, and drew a few vertical lines on it, "The cultivation is divided into nine realms, and three realms each in the upper, middle and lower realms. As for the Enlightenment Realm that leads the spirit into the body, if it is formally speaking, it is only a pseudo realm, not a positive realm. And according to legend, above the Nine Realms, there is also the Tenth Realm. ”
Speaking of this, Wang Xizhou couldn't help but chuckle, "It's just that so far, no one has stepped into the tenth realm, and it is not even said to be." Today's saints are nothing more than shackles of the Nine Realms. The legendary Yutian Sage with extraordinary talent and profound fortune has also stopped at the consummation of the Nine Realms in his life, and he cannot break the shackles. Therefore, when it comes to the facts, the world only recognizes the distinction between the nine realms, and there is no such thing as the enlightenment spirit and the tenth realm. ”
Wang Xizhou pointed to the three water marks on the edge again, "Transform the three realms, enlighten the soul through the meridians, cast the soul and lock the spiritual essence, knock on the avenue of metaphysical knowledge, if there is no guidance from the Master, these three realms alone can trap and kill many cultivators." Xizhou also sat in the Three Realms for many years before he was lucky enough to get the fortune and break into the Four Realms of Devouring Spirits. Xiaobai, you have a master, if it weren't for something that happened that damaged the foundation, your future achievements would not be low. ”
Bai Gu tugged at the corners of his mouth, "My drunkard master is still successful, I heard that he is a sword immortal." However, the thief likes to drink a lot of wine, and when people slam the door, when they teach me the exercises, let me beat him in the middle of the mud pill to complete. Brother Wang, listen, is this what a teacher looks like? Almost didn't beat me to death! It's my life, otherwise I wouldn't have woken up. ”
Wang Xizhou was suddenly in awe, "It turns out that Xiaobai, you are a master disciple of the Seven Realms Sword Immortal, Xizhou's eyes are clumsy. ”
Bai Gu waved his hand, his face full of disgust for the drunkard, "Then I'd rather find someone from the first and second realms to be my master." That guy, it's. Brother Wang, if I hadn't worshiped that guy as a teacher first, and I couldn't have changed my way and deceived the teacher to destroy my ancestors, otherwise I would have worshiped you as a teacher. ”
Xiaobai laughed. Xizhou District is cultivated in all four realms, where can you be worthy of your master. Besides, you already have a sword immortal master, and Zhuyu is in front, Xizhou will not dare to be ugly anymore. Wang Xizhou took a sip of water and moistened his throat, "Cultivation can increase the upper limit of lifespan, the higher the realm, the higher the upper limit of lifespan." Therefore, in the eyes of ordinary people, cultivators are immortals who are immortal and fly to the heavens and the earth. In terms of life extension, the life span of the Soul Enlightenment Realm is 100 years old, the Soul Casting Realm is 200 years old, the Knock Xuan Realm is 500 years old, and the Spirit Devouring Realm is 1,000 years old. Xizhou is not talented, it is the realm of devouring spirits, and the life span is extended by a thousand. ”
Bai Gu and Bai Xiaoxiao, who was sitting on the bed, both widened their eyes, looked at Wang Xizhou in disbelief, speechless.
One...... A thousand years old?
The thousand-year-old king of the eighty-thousand-year-old tortoise, isn't that ......
Phew, whatever! Don't think about it!
Wang Xizhou looked at the surprised appearance of Bai Gu and the others, and said with a smile: "Xizhou has a thousand years of life, and now it is almost ancient, and it is also a drop of water in the vast sea." It is not an exaggeration to say that this is the case. ”
Bai Gu also suddenly realized.
Indeed, a thousand years old is only over seventy, and it is indeed not an exaggeration to say that he is a young man.
You even have to be younger.
Probably...... At your age?
Bai Gu immediately denied his idea.
I don't want to be an old man who is almost old at that time, or a thousand-year-old king.
Lao Tzu is only 16 years old this year!
Oh, it's seventeen after the New Year.
