Li Ji got out of the wormhole and went straight to the peak where his cave was located, he had something in his heart, and he didn't go home, but he fell on the other side of the mountain, and he didn't need to shout, the old man was already standing outside the cave, and said with a smile:

"You're in such a hurry, but you're getting something?"

"There are some gains, but there are more problems, the kid really can't do it, so he has to run out to find your old man's help!"

"Sit down and talk slowly. ”

The old man sat down on a stone bench, took the jade slip handed over by Li Ji, which was full of his questions, and then glanced at a strange tube with the thickness of a big finger from the ring, and then lit Li Ji who took a deep breath, and then focused all his attention on the jade slip.

Li Ji took a jade slip that showed the changes in the cultivation realm of exile in recent years and studied it carefully.

In recent years, the place of exile has not been peaceful, and several small group conflicts have broken out between the Anti-Heaven Sect and the Blood River Channel, and the two sides have suffered injuries on both sides; this is an incident made by the anti-Heaven monks who are unwilling to be bullied in private, and the sect also pretends not to see it with a blind eye.

But judging from the overall situation, the blood river channel is becoming more and more aggressive, and the balance of the entire exile is slowly collapsing, and a few decades may be the limit.

Not only in the cultivation realm, but also in the mortal world, there have been riots all over the years, especially in the sphere of influence under the control of the Anti-Heaven Sect, although it has not yet evolved into a large-scale conflict between urban forces, but the chaos has been revealed, and some restless underworld forces are ready to move in various places.

This is a manifestation of the weakening of the control of the Anti-Heaven Sect, because of the contraction strategy passed out by the sect, most of the disciples of the sect have returned to Shenyin Mountain, and the loyalty of those local forces left behind is limited, just like Hongshui City, the local Xiuzhen forces can barely control the city and the surrounding large villages and towns, but no one pays attention to the wasteland west of the Hongshui River, Mulan sent a letter through the hundred branches, and also mentioned the resurgence of the wasteland horse thief, of course she doesn't have to worry about her safety, but the materials of Mulan Logistics have become the prey in the eyes of some people, although there has been no loss so far, but in the long run, something will almost be inevitable。

The changes in the cultivation world have nothing to do with the mortal world, but in fact, whenever there is a major change in the cultivation world, turmoil in the mortal world is almost inevitable, after all, this is not a divided world, and the same is true in the blue sky main world.

The struggle for power and profit between the agents of the monks in the mortal world is equally bloody and cruel, sometimes this turmoil is from the top down, sometimes from the bottom up, such as the blood river channel began to try to encroach on the sphere of influence of the heavens, and it was this bottom-up, ordinary first and then cultivated.

Of course, the Blood River monks will not directly participate in the battle between mortals, they will always find forces willing to be swords, some unwilling, broken, ambitious, in the wasteland is even simpler, a large number of bandits and horse thieves are eager to take advantage of the chaos to do a big job.

The chaotic world, the turbulent cultivation realm, Li Ji, as an outsider from Jindan, is really unwilling to get involved in it, the problem is that he has to stay here now and watch the situation continue to develop uncontrollably.

He knew very well in his heart that Mulan was unwilling to leave the wasteland, she had her pursuits, and it might not be a good choice to bring her to the Heaven-Defying Sect, Shenyin Mountain, the future may be more dangerous than the wasteland!

He can't do without the Reverse Heaven Mountain Gate, before he finds his way home, he can only stay here, passively share the hardships with the Reverse Heaven Sect, and have to do his best in it, if the Reverse Heaven collapses, he can only die in the world, where to find such an opportunity to study the problem of space passage?

Li Ji joined the rebellion in order to go home, but he didn't think that now he tied himself to this broken boat, after the Tianyuan incident, he and the blood river channel have been endless, and there is no room for reconciliation.

Unconsciously, Li Ji had lit a second cigarette between his fingers, just took a puff, and when he turned around, he found that the old Taoist was looking at him with a wide range of eyes.

"Are you annoyed? Is it about the passage, or is it something else? What is that thing in your hand? Is it fun to burn? Why do you swallow a cigarette and spit it out? What's the point?"

Shrugging his nose, Dusty Edge recognized: "Let me guess what you burn, well, mint, wormwood, bitter chrysanthemum...... What is the main material? Why have you never smelled it? It's a little strange!"

Li Ji took out another one without any psychological burden, handed it to the curious baby Chenyuan, and then his hands and feet were nimble, familiar with the way, and he twisted his fingers like thousands of times in his previous life, twisted out a trace of fire, and made a gesture to light it for him,

Lao Dao is a monk with an exploratory spirit, full of curiosity about all new things, after Li Ji nodded the cigarette in his mouth, he took a deep breath, for Yuanying Zhenren, it doesn't matter if it is poisonous smoke, it doesn't matter if he chokes, it's just this smell, Lao Dao frowned,

"This smoke is a little strange, it doesn't feel anything special, and it seems that there is something else......"

The dusty Daoist took a few puffs, but felt that it was not interesting, so he extinguished the cigarette and threw it aside.

"Tell me about your question, before that, I wanted to know if you found the circle in front of the passage?"

"Yes, two dark formations, very hidden......"

Li Ji carefully explained how to discover the dark array, and the old Taoist thought about it for a long time, and Fang suggested:

"I thought that there might be some kind of connection between these two dark formations, so I'll teach you a way, and when you go back, try it and see if you find anything...... Don't underestimate this, the simpler the dark array, the more likely it is that it contains something that no one wants to know!"

The two analyzed the problems encountered by Li Ji in the wormhole one by one, some questions, Chenyuan can give direct answers, and some cannot, after all, he did not come in person, so it can only be speculation, assumption,

At the end of the day, the two of them only solved less than one or two percent of the problems, some of which were vague.

"That's all for today!"

Lao Dao watched Li Ji spit out the last puff of smoke rings, and still couldn't help asking:

"I see you've sucked three sticks of this stuff today! Why do I always feel like you always have an inexplicable emotion in it when you suck this stuff? It's a little lonely, lonely, and so hanging!"

Li Ji smiled, "That's remembrance, remembrance of the past!"

It's a mortal habit like drinking, eating meat, bathing, sleeping, going out of courtesy, and smoking habits, which I always don't want to let go, even though they mean nothing to the monk!

I'm afraid I'll really drop it and never pick it up again!

I don't want to be an emotionless stone!"

In fact, Li Ji still hasn't said a word, what he doesn't want to forget the most is his identity as a traverser! Time can erase all traces, more than 100 years after coming to this world, there are many things in his previous life that have been slowly forgotten, which makes him feel scared,

If one day, he thinks of himself as a wholly native, then, is he still him?

To forget the past is to betray it.

Therefore, he deliberately used the toilet and deliberately rolled out the cigarette, so that whenever he habitually and subconsciously picked up the cigarette, he would not forget who he really was!
