Chapter 108: Piercing the Clouds

Wang Yong cautiously walked along the passage inward, and when he reached the end of the passage, it was a T-shaped intersection, and there was a passage on the left and right sides that was the same as just now.

Wang Yong thought about it, the man was left and the woman was right, so he chose the passage on the left and stepped in. The passage is no longer straight, but curved, irregular. After walking for a while, Wang Yong's eyes suddenly opened up, and a spacious hall appeared in front of him.

This hall is about 300 square meters, in the shape of a circle, in the middle of the hall is placed a set of tables and chairs, there seems to be something on the table. Wang Yong walked over curiously and looked at it, there was an unfinished Go endgame on the table, which made Wang Yong excited, and now he was completely sure that the master here was from the same world as himself.

There is a teacup on the right hand side of each side of the game, which looks crystal clear and moist in color, although I don't know what material it is made of, but at a glance I know that it is not ordinary. The inside of the cup was empty, there was nothing, only the traces that remained like tea stains hung on the walls of the cup.

Wang Yong looked up and saw a metal mirror hanging on a wall, Wang Yong walked over to take a look, and found that the effect was far from the glass mirror, vague, and inferior to the bronze mirror in this world. On the opposite wall is a bookshelf with two futons placed underneath.

Wang Yong walked over and took a look, the bookshelves were all bamboo slips, but now they were all corrupted, and they would turn into ashes at the slightest touch. There are two jade slips on the top of the bookshelf that are not corrupted, Wang Yong thought about it but still didn't take them down to watch, and felt that it was better to find the owner here first, because it was still not good to move other people's things casually.

Wang Yong found that there were two doors in the hall, and thought that it should be the room where the owner lived here, so he hesitated for a while and walked towards one of the doors.

Walking to the door, Wang Yong suppressed the excitement in his heart, first tidied up his appearance, then knocked lightly a few times, and whispered, "Is anyone there?" After waiting for a while, no one inside responded. Wang Yong thought, "There should be no one in this room. So Wang Yong went and knocked on another larger door.

But the result was still the same, there was still no one in the room to respond, Wang Yong shouted in the hall in a depressed voice: "Is anyone there? Wang Yong's voice echoed in the hall, but there was still no response.

In the end, Wang Yong got impatient, walked to the smaller door, and decided to go in first. Wang Yong gently pushed, and the door opened to the inside without much effort, Wang Yong hurriedly probed in to look, but after seeing the situation inside, Wang Yong was frightened to take a few steps back, and the hair on his whole body was upside down, and a coolness filled his body.

The room was small, and there were no furnishings, the floor was carved with runes and cumbersome lines, and in the middle of a futon sat a man, well, I should say a skeleton. The clothes on the skeleton's body had rotted, and on the ground to his right were two intact jade slips.

Wang Yong suppressed the fear in his heart, bravely walked in step by step, came to the skeleton, stared at the skeleton and slowly squatted down, then slowly stretched out his hand, grabbed the jade slip and turned around and ran.

When he came to the hall, Wang Yong touched his pounding heart, and after a long time, he saw that there was no movement in the room, so he was a little relieved.

Smiling self-deprecatingly, Wang Yong lowered his head and looked at the jade slips in his hand, because when Wang Yong saw these two jade slips, he felt that these jade slips were very important to him, so he endured fear and took them out. Although Wang Yong had also killed many people, he was still terrified when he saw the skeletons.

Coming to the table and sitting down, Wang Yong picked up one of the jade slips and slowly began to read. The jade slips are written in traditional characters, but they are all written in classical Chinese, but the general meaning is still understandable by Wang Yong.

After a long time, Wang Yong put down the jade slip, frowned and closed his eyes and fell into deep thought. Because the content recorded on the jade slip was too unbelievable, it was difficult for Wang Yong to accept it for a while.

It is recorded on the jade slip that the skeleton in the room claimed to be Chuanyunzi, a very ordinary person in the Central Plains in the early Ming Dynasty, because the bull head and horse face of the underworld caught the wrong person, in order to escape punishment, he was secretly banished to this world. After arriving here, he met his mentor Ling Kongzi, who was a master of cultivation, and his experience was similar to that of Chuanyunzi.

Since then, Chuanyunzi has been cultivating by his teacher's side. After the foundation was successfully built by Piercing Yunzi, Ling Kongzi mentioned that this world had a crack five hundred years ago because of the instability of the dimensional space. Because of this, the loss of vitality in this world was serious, which caused it difficult for cultivators in this world to advance, and the realm continued to decline, and there was a tendency to become more and more fragmented.

The two of them were also affected by it, and when they were building the foundation through the clouds, they could only cultivate until the foundation building period at most, and the longevity was only two hundred. And Ling Kongzi was the most seriously affected by it, and after a long period of wear, he also fell from the merger period to the foundation building period. Ling Kongzi knew that his longevity was short, and the two masters and apprentices traveled here, and happened to find a huge spiritual vein here, so they simply built a cave here.

The two of them were ready to concentrate on cultivation in the cave, hoping that with the nourishment of the spiritual vein, they could persist in the spatial cracks on the surface of the ground and heal on their own, and their cultivation could be promoted to Dacheng, so that they could return to the original world.

In this way, decades of time passed in a flash in the meditation, but not only did the spatial rift not heal, but the loss of spiritual energy was even more serious, and the cultivators of this world could only cultivate to the primary realm at most, and it was impossible to even promote to an intermediate occupation.

Ling Kongzi's longevity was also exhausted at this time, and he sat down three hundred and fifty years ago, and he was disheartened and had no intention of cultivating, and he also sat down thirty years later. Piercing Yunzi left the jade slip, hoping that the later Yanhuang bloodline could inherit the mantle of the master.

There is also some other information recorded in the jade slip, such as that this cave mansion is full of formations, because Wang Yong is of Yanhuang bloodline, so he was not attacked. Also, the functions of other places in the cave are introduced, and at the end, it is explained that what is recorded on another jade slip is the cultivation method of their lineage.

Wang Yong put down the jade slip in his hand and thought in his heart: "Compared with the cultivation level at that time, the current cultivation level is already two levels higher. In other words, that crack has begun to heal, the vitality of this world is constantly increasing, sooner or later it will return to its original state, and the level of cultivation will no longer be bound. If he inherits the mantle of Ling Kongzi, will he have the opportunity to cultivate to the Dacheng stage, and then return to the earth with his great supernatural powers?" Wang Yong had the hope of going back, and his heart was inexplicably excited, and he hurriedly grabbed the jade slip that recorded the cultivation exercises, and couldn't wait to start cultivating.

But as soon as his hand touched Yu Jian, Wang Yong began to hesitate again: "There are people you love here, as well as a group of friends and brothers who were born and died with you, can you really leave them behind and return to the earth alone?"

After struggling for a long time, Wang Yong recalled the bits and pieces after he came to this world: "The warmth with Amy, the relationship with Kevin to be a soldier with the lid of the pot, the relationship with Regan, who was also a teacher and friend, the battle between life and death with Vannie and Nosen, and the heartlessness of Da Fu and Carl and a few two hundred and five, etc., these are all inseparable feelings for me." Although according to what Chuanyunzi said, you can return to the earth after cultivating to Dacheng, but how can cultivation be so easy, even if you are full of talent and can cultivate to the Dacheng stage, but it will take countless years of accumulation and cultivation to do so. At that time, even if he returned to his hometown, he would have long since become a person and no longer his concern. In the end, Wang Yong decided to stay here and face the unknown future with his friends, at least, in everyone's lifetime.

Wang Yong looked at the jade slip in his hand, opened it silently, and muttered to himself: "Piercing Yunzi didn't say that you have to go back after learning to cultivate the truth, it's good to learn more things by yourself." Besides, the jade slip just now said that not everyone can cultivate the truth, what kind of spiritual root can be learned, and I don't know if I have a spiritual root, so let's read it first. ”

Wang Yong slowly unfolded the jade slip, but only a little bit, the jade slip was like being stuck by something, and the back could not be unfolded at all.

Wang Yong saw that a piece of jade slip that had been opened had a few big characters written on it: 'Kun Yu Qing Xuangong', and later said that if you want to practice this exercise, you must worship under the Kunlun Gate.

Wang Yong thought self-righteously: "It is estimated that Chuanyunzi used his great magic power to seal the jade slip, do you have to worship him as a teacher to open the jade slip?" Thinking of this, Wang Yong ran back to the quiet room of Chuanyunzi, respectfully kowtowed to Chuanyunzi's bones three times, and called the master sincerely.

Wang Yong felt: "Even if I don't have a spiritual root and can't cultivate the truth, I won't regret it, after all, they are all Yanhuang people on the earth, and they have the same bloodline." And Chuanyunzi is his predecessor, so it doesn't matter how many kowtows. ”

Also, in fact, Wang Yong really wants to cultivate the truth, when he was on the earth before, he couldn't see the cultivators, there was no place to learn, and the cultivation of the truth was just a legend for people of their time, but now that he has the opportunity, of course Wang Yong is sincere in learning.

After apprenticing, Wang Yong respectfully exited the quiet room, returned to the table and sat down, picked up the jade slip of the exercises and looked at it behind him. But what made Wang Yong depressed was that the jade slip still couldn't be opened, Wang Yong thought to himself: "Do you have to kowtow a few more to the master?" Wang Yong got up, walked to another door respectfully, and walked in cautiously.

It's basically the same as the ashram through the clouds, with a skeleton sitting on a futon, the only difference being that there is a metal figure standing behind the skeleton.

Wang Yong learned from the jade slip that this metal man was actually a puppet, usually responsible for taking care of the cave mansion, and after Ling Kongzi sat down, he had no intention of cultivating, and the cave mansion didn't want to take care of it, so he let the puppet accompany Ling Kongzi. Now this puppet is supposed to be a hedron that is running out of spars and can't move.

Wang Yong knocked a few more bones of Ling Kongzi, called the ancestor and returned to the hall to see the jade slip.

But the jade slip is still the same as just now, and it can't be opened. Wang Yong didn't give up, and went around the hall again, and then looked at the jade slip, but it still couldn't be opened, which made Wang Yong extremely depressed and annoyed.
