Chapter 7: Change
Just when Jiang Li was immersed in cultivation, the outside world was already in chaos.
Ten years after the name of the Lonely Mountain Immortal spread, after people had thought that it was just something out of nothing, the originally unusually quiet mountain range exploded violently again, and some people saw someone coming out of the mountain with their own eyes. This news began to spread in Qin and Liang, attracting the attention of countless people, and once again set off a wave of immortal searching.
And far away in the capital of Liang State, the day after learning the news, five people came from Tianbian Imperial Sword, causing a big wave of publicity. At the same time, there are immortals sitting in the national capital, and children under the age of ten can go to the national capital to test the immortal fate in all Liang countries.
At this time, in a very luxurious hall in the palace, three old men wearing Taoist robes sat there, and there was no joy or anger on their faces, but the dull atmosphere made the palace maids and eunuchs serving outside tremble.
"Two senior brothers, what do you say?" Heng Sheng's face was a little pale, as if he was seriously injured, and he spoke.
The other two glanced at each other and sighed, and finally Tianshu spoke: "We have seen that place, the aura of death and resentment is strong, and it was originally trapped by the big array, and there is no longer any life to guide it, but it will be a death." But after you go in, not only are you dead, but you are so rushed by the yang energy, and your resentment will not be dispersed, and sooner or later you will rush out to bring disaster to the world. ”
"We feel that we should ask Lingshan to help. Tianxuan spoke.
"Senior brother said that group of monks?" Hengsheng twisted his eyebrows.
Now the battle between Buddhism and Taoism is comparable to the dispute between Dao and Demon, but I have to admit that when dealing with these grievances, the monks of Lingshan are indeed more blessed. With the power of great compassion in the exercises, it is indeed very appropriate to practice reincarnation.
"This is the right thing in the world, and I don't have to worry about embarrassing you. Tian Xuan looked at Hengsheng Dao.
Why didn't he know what Hengsheng was thinking, because of that relic, Hengsheng and Buddhism had long been suspicious. But when it comes to chance, it is heavenly. Although it is the treasure of Buddhism, since he has it, Buddhism will not say anything on the surface, but it is full of hostility in private.
"But I'm here because of what happened 10 years ago. Tianxuan spoke.
"The dark star that is about to fall?" Hengsheng said, wrinkling his eyebrows.
"Senior brother sent a message, saying that the stars in the southwest have changed again. Tianshu lowered his eyebrows and said: "In the past few years, our senior brothers have been exploring the birth of talented children in the past ten years, and strive to be included in the door. And just a few days ago, the dark star suddenly brightened, and it must have entered the immortal path. Troubled times are coming, and we are in the game. ”
"And what is it this time?" asked Hang Seng.
"Gather disciples. Tianxuan spoke.
In just half a month, the capital was already overcrowded, and people from all over the country were still on the way.
And this time, the sect election lasted for a whole year.
The actions of the Taiyi Sect were seen by those who were interested, and the large and small sects in the entire southwest came out one after another, and they were bound to get a piece of the pie.
For many years, among the sects in the southwest, the Taiyi Sect is the dominant family, and the next sect competition is about to begin, and the Taiyi Sect has recruited disciples so vigorously that it has to make people doubt its purpose. Although the sects despised this shameless behavior, they also followed suit.
Since the Liang State, the surrounding Qin State, Xia State and other countries have welcomed the disciples of various sects, set up assessment points in the capital, and sent people to guard them all year round. As long as you want to enter the immortal gate, you can take the test, and if you pass the test, you will be issued a primary qigong practice, as long as you reach the seventh level of qi training within the age of fifteen, you will rely on your strength to worship the sect.
It can be said that Taiyizong's unintentional move has made more and more people in the entire southwest able to cultivate immortals.
Although limited by the cultivation of talents, it has gradually established a large number of scattered cultivation forces, taking advantage of this shareholder wind. What's more, there are children in the family who have entered the world of cultivating immortals, giving back and supporting each family, and even establishing various families headed by the family, whose strength naturally cannot be compared with the sect, but in the secular world, it has a certain strength and status, and is deeply valued by the lord of the country.
With the change of this phenomenon, all kinds of low-level pills and various targeted exercises began to appear in large numbers on the market, and they were even accepted by powerful families, cultivating many outstanding children for them.
With the lonely mountain as the center, since the arrival of the Buddha in the spiritual mountain, in order to dispel the resentment in the mountain, a small spiritual mountain was established on the mountain to accommodate the disciples who were related to the Buddha.
There is a legend of immortal relics in the lonely mountain, and now the temple is established, and the incense is even more prosperous.
After a period of time, everyone found that although the spiritual energy of the secular world was thin, the population base was quite large, and the children with good talents were even more outstanding. Because the aura is thin, it is not easy to practice, but with extraordinary talent and perseverance, the purity of the aura is better, and the foundation is more solid.
In order to manage, the Immortal Cultivation Realm also established a so-called Immortal Alliance organization, which was composed of various sects, and gradually became a snob that was not weak, and the relationship was chaotic and complicated, which actually made the various sects that had been targeting each other a lot more stable.
The human race ushered in the era of great prosperity of Taoism. Compared with the various sects of the Demon Dao, because of the actions of the Daomen, the actions of all parties are quite restricted, and the establishment of the Immortal Alliance has shocked the snobbery of the Demon Gate on the other hand. The entire immortal cultivation world, in recent years, has become more calm.
Three years later.
On the official road leading to Liang Guo, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy came slowly with a donkey in his hand. A rag linen dress looked extremely ill-fitting, and the messy hair was simply tied up with strips of cloth torn from the hem of the garment. The eyebrows and eyes were covered by the hair that had not been taken care of for a long time, and only the smooth chin and the corners of the mouth that had been flattened by depression could be seen. A small furry creature lay on the boy's head, seemingly taking the hair for its own nest, and its tail was dangling for a while.
"Hey, I said, can you get off my head, you're making me lose face like this. Jiang Li was helpless.
"What is face? I think it's very good, I can see from afar, and it's very comfortable. A childish voice sounded in the boy's head.
"Comfortable, your sister, comfortable. Jiang Li was speechless, and he wanted to take it down and beat it up. But unfortunately, it seems that I can't beat it.
"My sister isn't here. "Roll the raceway.
"Do you really have a sister?" Jiang Li was shocked, this little thing really has a sister?
"Of course. The little thing's tone sounded a bit ostentatious.
"Then where is she? Why aren't you together?" Jiang Li was curious.
"I don't remember. He said, "You help me find her." ”
Jiang Li was speechless.
It took three years for Rolling to wake up again. When he woke up, he was amazed that he could speak. I also asked what kind of breed it was, but I didn't ask anything, and I was even forced to sign a contract.
Jiang left jokingly saying that he wanted to find a dragon to be a contract beast, after all, dragons were very yearning for him from Huaxia, but he was despised by a squirrel the size of a fist.
How did it say it at the time? It couldn't even look at that little loach.
Jiang Li said: "You just brag, you are so capable, how can you contract with me?"
"The Holy Spirit is seriously wounded and needs to be inherited. Then Jiang Li saw it looking at him with the kind of eyes that you don't like to please me.
"Thou can, return the Holy Spirit, and behold thy cattle. Jiang Li expressed disbelief.
However, Jiang Li didn't expect that along the way, this immortal cultivator who was difficult to meet in the past can now be seen everywhere. And the style of clothes is almost the same, white clothes, swords. There are also passing through towns and cities, and what kind of immortal cultivation suits are launched, which can be described as full of tricks. Because after the qi is introduced into the body, the impurities in the body are discharged, but they are all handsome men and beautiful women.
And Jiang Li, after coming out of the ground, I don't know where he is, the clothes on his body can no longer be worn because of his height, this body is still passing by a village, taking advantage of the dead of night to steal out.
Jiang Li looked up at the sky and saw that it was getting late, there seemed to be dark clouds, and he was afraid that it would rain. Although this is an official road, it is still far from the national capital, so you have to find a place to settle down as soon as possible, otherwise you will have to sleep in the wilderness today.
"Hit ...... Rob. ”
Jiang Li was slightly flustered, carefully looking at the six people who suddenly came out in front of him, the knives in their hands were unstable, each of them had a blue nose and swollen face, some old injuries, but they still pretended to be fierce.
"Hurry up, hand over the silver taels, and spare you from dying. The leader shouted.
"I said, this big brother, look at my outfit, how can there be silver taels. "Jiang Li really didn't lie, he really didn't have a point on him.
The big man really looked him up and down a few times when he heard this, and was slightly disappointed, but then he said, "Leave this donkey behind, and you can go." ”
"Oh? no, this is my food. "Jiang Li is gone, this donkey doesn't know who left it, he has been in the broken ground for three years, and he hasn't even eaten anything good, this is finally seeing the meat, and he is planning to improve himself tonight.
"Then I'm sorry. ”
As soon as the big man said this, he waved his hand, and led everyone to draw their swords.
But in less than a few breaths, one by one they cried and cried and fell to the ground.
"Hero, spare your life. The big man changed his previous posture and kowtowed.
"Just like you, what about robbing?" Jiang Li was speechless, this was too hard to beat.
"Yes, yes, the lesson of the hero is that I am not worthy of robbery, not worthy. The big man hurriedly smiled.
"You're kicking your nose in the face. Jiang Li looked at these few angrily, feeling too embarrassed, and after thinking about it, he said: "You can't rob like this, come, master, I'll teach you a few words, listen well." ”
"I drove this road, I planted this tree, if you want to pass from here, leave the money to buy the road. "These four proverbs in the robbery world can be said to have been circulated for a long time, and Jiang Li feels very domineering when he says it.
The six frail and sickly looked at it dumbfounded, completely blinded.
"Hero, connoisseur. The big man's eyes lit up, thinking that he had met his ancestors.
"Ahem, okay, get out of the way. ”
Several people glanced at each other, and the big man hurriedly hugged Jiang Li's thigh, and said: "Hero, no, ancestor, accept us, I have been robbing for 12 years, I have rich experience, strong martial arts, strong body, no bad habits, and an innocent background." ”
Jiang Li was even more speechless, and said, "Just like you, you are experienced, and you are strong in martial arts? I suspect that you are making something out of nothing, imagining nothing, and fabricating out of thin air." ”
Dahan was stunned for a moment, frowned, and said, "Ancestor." ”
"It's a good fart. Jiang Lidao.
"We don't want to, we want to be in Qingfeng Village, who doesn't know in the realm of ten miles and eight townships, this rich lord who comes and goes, who must not be filial piety first, but the way of the world has changed. The leading boss said with a sigh on his face: "I don't know what's going on in the cultivation realm, so that now the whole people are cultivating, and everyone who can cultivate one or two of them has cultivated, and we can't beat it." ”
"Then do you think you can move me?" Jiang Li shook his fist, the realm of Qi Great Perfection, dealing with them, should be more than enough.
The big man didn't speak, but looked at him.
"Hmph, snobbery. "How could Jiang Li not know what he meant, didn't he just dress up himself.
"How can it, it's because we don't have enough vision, this back-to-basics momentum is really a master. The big man hurriedly patted his ass.
"Then since you said that everyone cultivates immortals, why don't you cultivate?" Jiang Li was curious.
Several people glanced at each other, their expressions were not very good, and they were very depressed.
"Hey, we don't have a spiritual root. ”
"Oh"
“......”
Jiang Li saw that it was not early, and he was worried that there was no place to stay, he had never experienced what the life of this bandit was like, so after thinking about it, he led the donkey and followed them back.
The ordinary mountain, there is no legend of the immortal relics, and there are bandits rampant on the mountain in the past, and no one comes. There is a small village on the mountain, and the scale is not bad, but now it is dilapidated and unattended.
Those who have an immortal path and can walk have all gone, and those who have no immortal path are either killed by those who come to seek revenge, or those who escape, and now there are only six of them.
On the way, Jiang Li also got to know them, the leading man is called Xu Damao, who is now the big boss of Qingfeng Village, and he takes his five younger brothers to make a living. It's not that I don't want to find a job seriously, but if you are a thief, others are incapable. But now whoever still sells their face, it's good not to beat them to death. Nothing but rob them. And the wealth accumulated over the years was also divided when the gang was dispersed, and the rest also changed from the robber to the robbed party.
"It's a miserable mix. Jiang Li shook his head.
Several people's faces were slightly red, but they were rough men, so they couldn't see anything.
Jiang Li waved his sleeves and said, "Make a fire and kill a donkey." ”
"Okay!" Xu Damao shouted, and ran away with a swish.
Jiang Li looked at these few people who could once be regarded as dominating the party, burning, killing and looting, and they were also people who came from the tip of the knife, but now they were so excited because of a donkey.
Power and money don't seem to be worth mentioning in the face of strength.
It's as if this happened three years ago, he would never have thought that one day he would be in the company of bandits, and he is quite sympathetic.
Strength brings more than just status differences, but what about in the cultivation realm? It's like seeing the old man named Hengsheng, the miserable Qingyunzi, the corpses everywhere on the top of the lonely mountain, or the giant snake at the bottom of the underground lake.
"No one asks about the corpses and bones all over the ground, but they are the souls of the swords after many years. ”
Jiang Li's heart suddenly moved, he sat cross-legged, and the aura within a radius of ten miles instantly surged into Jiang Li's body.
Building a foundation, what is a foundation, and building the foundation of the Great Dao is the foundation of the path of cultivation.
Jiang Li has already reached the realm of the Great Perfection of Qi Cultivation in the past three years, and because of the relationship between the mixed yuan beads, the realm is also more solid, and the aura is more condensed.
The voices of Xu Damao and the others who were originally laughing suddenly became quiet because of the movement here, and their eyes shone with awe, and they stood aside. Billowing, who was sitting on Jiang Li's head, opened his eyes slightly, glanced at them, and then closed them again.
This breakthrough lasted for three hours, and when Jiang Li opened his eyes, he found that it was already in the middle of the moon, and the aura within a radius of ten miles was absorbed by him, and even the flowers and trees were a little wilted and couldn't raise their heads.
Jiang Li clenched his fists, feeling the strength of the early stage of foundation building, and before the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, he saw six people standing not far away looking at him stupidly.
"What are you doing?" Jiang Li jumped, why were his eyes so red?
"Ahh Xu Damao scratched his head and said.
"Alright, hurry up, eat. Jiang left the mouth.
"Okay!"
