Chapter 8 Dao Jicheng, Late Autumn Road

The process of laying the foundation of the Dao was painful.

The pain of a meridian that had never been integrated into the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, or even a meridian that had never been in contact with the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, was suddenly forcibly broken by a large amount of True Yuan was an indescribable pain. In the process of laying the foundation, Wang Xiao felt as if there was a steel cone frustrating back and forth in the blood vessels in his bone marrow, and he made a few holes in his body.

But this kind of pain is pain and happiness.

Feeling his main meridians present in his mind little by little, and feeling the ubiquitous heaven and earth vitality in the air and space surrounding him, Wang Xiao was ecstatic.

The pain of laying the foundation is not at all proportionate to the joy of having the seed of power.

After finishing the foundation laying, Wang Xiao turned over and knelt down, seriously, respectfully, and sincerely, and kowtowed eight times to Xu Qinshuang, who was slightly pale, and Li Youshan, who was sweating on his fat face.

After Li Youshan accepted the salute, he turned his head with a cold face: "You don't have to worship me, you will be worthy of your master in the future!"

Xu Qinshuang smiled slightly, sat on the rattan chair on the side, exhaled, and said softly: "Don't blame your master for laughing, he is like this, hard-mouthed and soft-hearted." ”

Wang Xiao naturally wouldn't blame Li Youshan for not knowing what to do, and was about to say something, but he suddenly became dizzy, couldn't speak, and fell softly on the futon.

Xu Qinshuang said softly: "Xiao'er, you have a special physique, and now you are forced to lay the foundation, naturally you can't stand it, so you can rest here." Lian'er, let's go out, don't disturb ......" Before he finished speaking, he suddenly smiled, but found that Wang Xiao had fallen asleep on the futon.

Xu Qinshuang smiled, pinched a law decision in her hand, and said softly: "'Once flying to the green clouds, Taishan throws light feathers'......" After reading the two lines of Li Bai's poems, she saw a white light coming out of her hand, turning into an invisible white silk, wrapping Wang Xiao and gently sending it to the side of the collapse.

Li Xianglian praised: "Mother's physical control technique is becoming more and more proficient, is this the so-called weightlifting light?" This girl added a little extra tone to the word heavy, and looked at the sleeping Wang Xiao to cover her mouth and smile, it was really cute.

Xu Qinshuang scolded slightly: "Your junior brother is asleep, don't make noise." He is young and frail, so why should he say it. After that, he took Li Xianglian and walked out.

In this inner room that belonged to Xu Qinshuang, Wang Xiao had his first peaceful sleep since coming to this Shura realm.

Sleeping is often a treasure that can only be obtained in a place that belongs to "home".

Since becoming a "registered disciple", although Wang Xiao has a slight "status" compared to when he was a servant disciple before, and can rightfully watch other senior brothers practice martial arts, but in fact, he is more despised and despised more behind his back.

Everyone here already knows that although this Wang Xiao is a so-called registered disciple, he is not a disciple of Li Youshan, but a registered disciple of Mrs. Li Youshan.

Although Xu Qinshuang is respected and loved by all the disciples, this does not change Xu Qinshuang's identity as a woman, let alone the prejudice that the Great Han Kingdom has always favored sons over women and despised men worshipping women as teachers.

And because Wang Xiao actually slept in Xu Qinshuang's inner room that night, all kinds of rumors continued one after another. Although he would never dare to say that Wang Xiao and Xu Qinshuang had an affair, Wang Xiao's reputation as a "fly camp villain" and "sycophant" is very loud.

Wang Xiao didn't think it was a fool at all.

Wang Xiao, who has experienced loneliness through the other world and struggled to survive to this day, is no longer psychologically firm enough to be shaken by this rumor.

People laugh at me? I still treat each other politely, at least on the surface, so that I don't fall foul. Being teased will not be a piece of meat, besides, scandals are only enjoyed by celebrities, you don't see those scandal-ridden stars, on the surface, they are disgusted by scandals, but in fact, they don't know how happy they are. It's mediocre not to attract envy. Those people poked me in the back in the back, and they were all backward people who didn't know the equality of men and women, so I didn't bother to pay attention to them. Isolated and ignored?Better yet, I have more time to cultivate the Dao!

Because of the relationship between various electromagnetic waves and radiation in the 21st century since childhood, Wang Xiao's body has a very low sensitivity to the vitality of heaven and earth. After ordinary disciples laid the foundation, they cultivated the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi that could be gathered in two hours, and it would take Wang Xiao a whole day to gather it. The Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi consumed by the swordsmanship of "Suspected Milky Way Falling Nine Heavens" requires Wang Xiao to work hard to condense for an hour or so before it can be enough to use the consumption of this sword technique. And ordinary disciples at the lower level only need less than half an hour to gather enough true yuan to use this move. And some geniuses only need a cup of tea or even less.

Li Bai is a poet and a swordsman in the history of the earth, and in this world, he is a sword immortal. Therefore, below the Blue Lotus Sect and the Lotus Root Hall that belongs to the lower level of the Blue Lotus Sect, are also swords. In fact, the entire Han Kingdom, which takes Confucianism as the state religion, also mostly uses the sword as a weapon, just because of the saying that "the sword is a gentleman among soldiers" and "the sword is the soldier of the royal road".

The swordsmanship used by a cultivator is very different from that of ordinary martial artists.

Whether it is Confucian swordsmanship, Taoist talismans, or Tang swordsmanship of the Tang Kingdom, they are all driven by the vitality of heaven and earth.

For example, the most common and most commonly used trick of the Qinglian Sect is "Suspected Milky Way Falling Nine Heavens", which is to turn the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi into its own True Yuan, and then turn it into sword qi and shoot out. Beginners use this move, at most, they can only release a finger-thick silver sword qi, and the power is only about to break a tree trunk about ten meters away and the thickness of a wrist, and beginners only dare to call their own move "Silver Star Falling", not "Suspected Milky Way Falling Nine Days".

This move, only the Qinglian Sect Sect Master Li Changqing can release a million Dao at a time, which is enough to block the sword qi group in the sky. Under one move, it is really like the Milky Way falling upside down, and the stars falling.

Legend has it that ninety-five years ago, during the "holy war" between Middle-earth Shenzhou and the Western Rakshasa Kingdom, Li Changqing quietly infiltrated the enemy's rear road alone, and with the power of this move, he eliminated a 10,000-person transport team of the Western Rakshasa Army, laying the foundation for the once-in-a-century holy war victory. The power of killing 10,000 people under that move is really in line with the magnificence and beauty of "Suspected Milky Way Falling Nine Heavens".

However, with Wang Xiao's cultivation speed at this time, he needed to concentrate on condensing the true yuan for more than half an hour before he could try to send the "silver 'star' fall" once, so compared to the efficiency of other disciples who could condense five or six times in a row for an hour, it was too much worse. And too little use of skills naturally leads to insufficient proficiency in skills. When it comes to progress, it is natural to get twice the result with half the effort.

And some slightly higher-level skills, such as the "Thousand Miles Without Staying" light gong technique similar to light gong and strengthening the body, and the true yuan that has been painstakingly condensed for more than half an hour, are only enough to use for three or five seconds...... It often takes a whole day to condense the vitality of heaven and earth, but only a few spells can be cast......

Rao is like this, and Wang Xiao is still concentrating on practice.

Diligence can make up for clumsiness, and stupid birds fly first, this kind of truth that has been extremely clear since childhood, but only now can I really understand it. Although Wang Xiao is actually not stupid or clumsy in terms of IQ.

In fact, Wang Xiao is not only not stupid in that world, but also a smart person with a high IQ.

But those things are already in the past. Now Wang Xiao's talents and qualifications are far inferior to others. Compared with ordinary disciples, Wang Xiao is much more clumsy. Therefore, Wang Xiao could only condense the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi at a much slower speed than others, and then turn it into his own True Yuan. Work hard, thrift, and carefully practice the "Qinglian Sect" Taoism that was selflessly taught to him by his master.

Although the Lotus Root Hall is a third-rate Dao Hall, the foundation of what it has learned is still the authentic method of the Blue Lotus Sect. Compared to the disciples of the Blue Lotus Sect, what the Lotus Root Hall lacked was just a high-level mental method. Of course, these low-level mental methods are the most needed for the current Wang Xiao.

Now Wang Xiao mainly only cultivates two spells:

"Silver Star Falls" and "Thousands of Miles Don't Stay". The former is an attack spell, and the latter is a body technique. Attack spells are naturally necessary, and the reason why Wang Xiao chooses to practice for thousands of miles is that he has always had a sense of crisis and worry.

When using "Thousands of Miles Without Staying", Wang Xiao found that he could definitely run faster than Liu Xiang, which is a spell that makes the body become extremely rapid in a short period of time, which is very easy to use, but unfortunately the disadvantage is that it consumes too much true yuan. Wang Xiao worked hard to accumulate a day's true yuan, which was only enough to maintain the effect of "not leaving a line for a thousand miles" for about half a minute. However, in this half a minute, Wang Xiao can reach a speed of only five or six seconds to run 100 meters, and feel the feeling of surpassing the trapeze.

Regardless of whether it is true cultivation or cultivation of Buddhism, it is divided into three levels: heaven, earth, man, and man. Each class is also divided into three levels: upper, middle, and lower. The division of this rank is based on the total amount of True Yuan possessed by cultivators, and does not represent the level of actual combat. Often, a mid-rank veteran who survived the battlefield of Shura could easily kill a high-ranking veteran who had grown up in a Taoist temple or academy since childhood. Of course, in general, the higher the total amount of True Element, the stronger and more spells can be used.

Wang Xiao's current level is barely the level of the lower human rank, that is, it belongs to the lowest level of all cultivators. In fact, judging from his overall ability, Wang Xiao was far from even being qualified for the lower rank of the human rank, because his speed of accumulating the vitality of heaven and earth was too slow.

As long as they are cultivators who have been laid by the teacher, they all belong to the lower level of the human rank. There is not much difference in the maximum amount of true yuan possessed by the lower level of the human rank, but others generally only need half a day of meditation to accumulate full true yuan, but Wang Xiao needs at least three or five days of hard cultivation to feel the fullness of the dantian. This is because Wang Xiao's affinity for the vitality of heaven and earth is too low.

However, it is precisely because Wang Xiao's progress is too slow compared to other junior brothers, so Wang Xiao cherishes every bit of true yuan and every minute of practice time even more. Although the increase in the total amount of true yuan and the speed of condensing the heaven and earth yuan qi into true yuan have not improved much, it is very surprising that Wang Xiao's use of the trick of "suspected galaxy falling nine heavens" is actually faster than other disciples. As for the skill of "not leaving a line for a thousand miles", which consumes a lot of real yuan, Wang Xiao is also much more proficient, and can use it with slightly less consumption than others. I don't know if this counts as "stupid birds fly first".

In these days, Wang Xiao gradually understood why the high-flying and domineering Liu Zhenwu was admired and admired by his senior sister Li Xianglian. This outrageous guy does have something to be proud of.

In Chu County, every three years, a magic competition is held. This event is called "Young Phoenix Ming", and only young cultivators under the age of 30 in the sect are allowed to participate, which is used as a reference for the ranking of each sect. In such competitions, each sect will send its best disciples to participate in it to prove that the master of the sect will teach the disciples.

Liu Zhenwu entered the Lotus Root Hall at the age of twelve, and after four years of cultivation, he participated in the "Young Phoenix Song" for the first time five years ago, and entered the top ten at the age of sixteen. Two years ago, nineteen-year-old Liu Zhenwu participated in the "Young Phoenix Ming" for the second time, and he ranked in the top five. You must know that the sect of Liangentang is only ranked thirteenth or fourteenth in Chu County, but Liu Zhenwu can play such a good result, which can be said to be the pride of Liangentang, and it can also prove that Liu Zhenwu's talent is definitely beyond ordinary people.

No matter what world you are in, as long as you have strength, you will naturally be admired by girls.

And although Liu Zhenwu is very bad to Wang Xiao, he has a lot of respect for Xu Qinshuang and Li Youshan, and he must be a humble gentleman in front of Li Xianglian, so Li Xianglian naturally admires Liu Zhenwu, a good senior brother who has won glory for Liangentang.

After Wang Xiao learned about this, he didn't say anything, but worked harder, almost abusively strengthening his cultivation time again.

And when Wang Xiao became Xu Qinshuang's disciple, he knew a lot more about the world. After being included in the door wall by Xu Qinshuang, Wang Xiao was already qualified to enter Shi Niang's study, so he began to read many historical and humanities books. But while becoming more and more familiar with this world, Wang Xiao also felt more and more strange about this world.

Through reading books, Wang Xiao basically knows some history of this world. In this world, there is also the legendary Tao of Confucius and Mencius, Taoism and Buddhism. It's just that Confucius, who appeared on the earth 2,000 years ago, is a mythical figure more than 12,000 years ago, just like the Yuan Shi Tianzun and Amitabha Buddha, the two Taoists and the bosses of Buddhism. This made Wang Xiao feel very strange.

The exact history of this world is more than 20,000 years old, and in the first 10,000 years of recorded legends and history, the history of the first 10,000 years is similar to the history of the earth from the opening of Pangu to the Huangchao Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty. Of course, the history here cannot be counted as history, but as legends, legends. All the historical figures before the Tang Dynasty were all related to Xiuzhen and became legends. For example, Liu Guanzhang and Zhao Yun in the Three Kingdoms period have become top-level cultivators in this world, and they can only fly to immortal power, and Zhuge is actually a successful immortal ascender.

But after "the Great Demon King Huangchao subverted Shenzhou", the whole history changed.

If the history of the Yellow Nest before was similar to that on Earth, then after the Yellow Nest it has completely changed. Only more than 1,000 years have passed on the earth after the Yellow Nest, but in this world, more than 10,000 years have passed. In the past 10,000 years, it has naturally experienced many things that must be separated for a long time, and it has been until now. But in these histories, there is no Wuhu Chaohua, no Song Dynasty, let alone the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties.

The stories before the Yellow Nest are all called "antiquity". In other words, the same historical legends as the earth, in this world, belong to "ancient legends" and "mythological stories". After Huangchao, it belongs to the "official history".

After 10,000 years of changes, the continent in which I live at this time is similar to the Three Kingdoms period, mainly with the Great Zhou, the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty three large countries and some small countries, these three large countries respectively take Taoism, Confucianism, and Buddhism as the state religion.

Among them, the Great Zhou Kingdom is located in the east of the mainland, also known as the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and is established by Taoism. The Great Han Kingdom and the northern barbarian border, also known as the Northern Han Dynasty, founded by Confucianism, but the "Confucianism" here does not refer to the Confucius lineage, but a hundred schools of thought, in addition to Confucianism, there are also the Spring and Autumn Period of the sons of the hundred schools of thought, can be called Confucianism. The Tang Dynasty is located in the southwest, with a vast coastline, and the Nanyang countries are friendly, also known as the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the country is founded by Buddhism.

In this world, Confucianism has become a religion-like existence. Moreover, Confucianism here, it is actually also the existence of the sect of cultivation, the ancestor is the "most holy immortal master Kong Zhongni", the status is not a human but a god, and Amitabha Buddha, immeasurable Tianzun is the same as the supreme power.

This strange history made Wang Xiao's sense of crisis a little stronger, so he practiced harder.

Time passed quickly in Wang Xiao's extremely focused situation, and in a blink of an eye, the autumn representing the harvest had passed, and now it was the end of late autumn, and the coming was the cold winter.

And late autumn is the day when Wang Xiao is preparing to "go out".

Xu Qinshuang's words Wang Xiao has always kept in mind:

"Xiao'er, after all, Shi Niang is a woman's family, so she is not suitable to show her face, so she can't help you subdue the monster and sign a contract. So, Xiao'er, whether you can defeat the demon beasts in the wild or not depends on yourself. Although it is difficult for you to defeat a demon beast stronger than you head-on now, it is not without a chance, and the opportunity is in late autumn. In winter, as everything withers, there will be less and less food, and in order to survive the winter, the monsters will begin to prepare a large amount of food in the autumn. Therefore, every late autumn, there will always be a fight between demon beasts in the mountains and forests to prepare winter food. Xiao'er, whether you can find a chance to sign a contract with the demon beast with your own strength is up to you!"

Xu Qinshuang's words Wang Xiao made it clear that he was using the demon beasts to fight each other to make a profit.

The Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi of the Shura Realm is extremely rich, but the material is somewhat barren compared to the earth, and human beings are okay, they can obtain food by farming. However, when it comes to grain yields per acre, it is only as low as the earth was a thousand years ago, which is several times lower than that of scientific cultivation in the 21st century. Humans are still like this, but monsters and monsters are even more difficult. If enough winter food is not stored in late autumn, then there is a high risk of starvation in winter.

Monsters and monsters are just powerful beasts, and in the end, they still need to eat.

Even though it is stronger than ordinary beasts, it is difficult to guarantee that you will be able to harvest food every time you travel. If you don't prepare overnight food, you will starve, starving, which is equivalent to a decrease in physical strength, and when your strength is reduced due to physical exhaustion, it is equivalent to becoming someone else's food.

That's the cruelty of winter.

When the human warriors gathered around the hot pot and looked at the drifting snow and chanted winter poems such as "the snow is falling", more creatures, including the human poor, were looking for those scarce organic things that could be converted into body energy in that white and vast world.

Wang Xiao looked at the falling yellow leaves of the sycamore in the courtyard through the window, and fastened the package.

In the package are dry food, flint, gold sore medicine, antidote grass, a hand-copied copy of "Ten Thousand Demon Records", two pieces of rune paper that Xu Qinshuang gave to Wang Xiao to save his life, and ...... A pack of black powder products that Wang Xiao had purified himself.

Get ready......

Let's go.

Target:

Two hundred miles west of Chu County - Fangcun Mountain.
