Chapter 649: What is a cottage?
The spirit realm turned out to be the world of spirit beasts, but in the lower realm like the Chengtian Continent, there was no such information at all, if the true situation here was known, then would the monks still be eager to fly here as soon as possible?
Su Aotian couldn't help but think of the rhinoceros horned deer he had just killed, but it was just like that, although it might be one or two points stronger than the Crossing Monk, but it was also common, and it wasn't just three punches and two kicks that he was killed by himself?
So he asked tentatively: "The spirit beast is so powerful, isn't it also killed, I just left casually, and I picked up such a big corpse, the willow fairy is so powerful, I can't deal with them?"
Liu Ruyan glanced at him and said, "Spirit beasts are naturally strong and weak, just like our human race, there are both immortal cultivators and martial artists like you who can't cultivate. The rhinoceros deer you picked up is itself an extremely weak spirit beast, and it must be three-tailed or four-tailed, so even if it is killed by an immortal cultivator, he doesn't bother to take it away. The rhinoceros horned deer is so unbearable, but after it has evolved to seven or eight tails, it is enough to rival the immortal cultivators of the Tianyuan Realm, and then you will see, can it be easily killed, and the corpse after death will be abandoned like clogs? Moreover, these are not the most terrifying, the spirit race evolved from the top spirit beast is the heart of my human race, and it is our mortal enemy!"
It's a new word, what is it?
Su Aotian's face was confused, Liu Ruyan glanced at him again, and then said: "The affairs of the Spirit Clan, even if you are not confused, you will not know too much detail, I will simply talk to you more today, lest you ask questions and cause trouble for yourself after you arrive in the village." All things in heaven and earth can be cultivated if they have spirituality, and the rich aura of the spiritual world, not only can our human race absorb and refine, but it is more suitable for the spirit beasts here, they are born with affinity and aura, and they do not need to absorb and refine, just like the human race drinks water and eats, and it can be used when ingested into the body. Therefore, spirit beasts are generally stronger than human races. But our human race is the spirit of all things, and we can exhaust the Heavenly Dao and comprehend the supreme true meaning and mystery of this world, and after cultivating to the peak, it is incomparable to any spiritual thing, and the spirit beast is naturally far inferior. However, there are extremely rare spirit beasts, which can break through the innate limitations, evolve wisdom that is not inferior to the human race, and can also comprehend the supreme true meaning, in this sense, there is no essential difference between us and the human race, such an ultimate spirit beast has become a spirit race. β
She paused for a moment, as if to soothe the complicated emotions in her heart, before she continued: "The strong people in the spirit race are far beyond the human race, and only those who have cultivated to the ultimate and can soar to the immortal realm can be seen as comparable to them. Fortunately, the evolution of the spirit race is extremely harsh, compared to our human race, it is really pitiful, so they have no advantage, but the number of spirit beasts is more than that of our human race, which is also the root of the spirit race to oppress our race. β
Speaking of this, she seemed to think of something sad, her eyes couldn't help but turn red, and she almost burst into tears. Su Aotian saw that she seemed to have a hidden feeling, but she was moody, and she relied on her identity as an immortal cultivator, and she was arrogant to herself, if she asked too much, it would be just a nail to annoy her, and maybe she would turn her face and punish herself. Although Su Aotian was not afraid of her, he didn't want to provoke her casually, after all, he was still unfamiliar with life, and he basically didn't know anything about the spirit world, and he wanted to get more information from her.
Liu Ruyan was sad for a while, and said: "Forget it, these things have nothing to do with you, as long as you can live this life in peace and not be eaten by spirit beasts, it will be considered a good ending." It's too slow to walk like this, so I'll take you back to the village first. After speaking, he grabbed Su Aotian's arm, suddenly rose to the sky, and flew quickly forward.
The speed of the flight naturally went without saying, and in the blink of an eye, the two of them came to the stone building that Su Aotian sensed. This is a building built on the mountain, the outer walls are as high as a hundred zhang, all made of solid rock, although the scale is pitiful, but it still reminds Su Aotian of Xuanwu City at once.
The whole building looks like a fortress from the outside, forming a semicircle with its back against the mountain wall. On the top of the outer wall, there are three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, and there are many arrow towers distributed, and there are figures flashing in each arrow tower. From time to time, there was a cold light flashing between the battlements, and there was a team patrolling. Although the surroundings were extremely calm, the entire fortress was filled with tension and tension, as if facing a great enemy.
In the middle of the fortress is a gate, and there is a plaque hanging on the door, with the three big characters "Shishanzhai" written on it, Su Aotian thought that this name is simple and very appropriate. The boulders on which the walls had been polished and should have been smooth, but now they were covered with deep marks that looked like the scratches of some wild beast, and it was shocking to look at.
In the middle of the stone wall is a heavy stone door, which is not opened when someone is coming. Someone asked in a loud voice from the wall: "Girl Ruyan, who are you carrying with you?"
Liu Ruyan replied: "Just now I went out to inspect and found a human martial artist wandering alone outside, so I brought him back in order to prevent him from dying in the mouth of the spirit beast." β
The person on the wall shouted: "In this case, please wait a while, Miss Ruyan, we need to report to Lord Wei for a decision." β
Liu Ruyan was not in a hurry, and said: "It should be so, I'm waiting here." β
After half a pillar of incense, Su Aotian heard a tooth-wrenching "creaking" sound from behind the stone door, and the two stone doors, which were very heavy at first glance, slowly opened.
When he was outside the gate of this stone cottage just now, in order to avoid more incidents, Su Aotian did not release his divine sense to investigate, because he now did not know the depth of these spiritual human races, and whether their divine sense was strong. Although Liu Ruyan's divine soul doesn't seem to be very strong, it doesn't mean that the immortal cultivators in this stone cottage are not strong. If one of them has an extremely powerful divine sense, and he is aware of his probe, and he can't explain it clearly, why he has absorbed and refined the spiritual energy but can't use it, maybe it will lead to unexpected misunderstandings and contradictions, which will put him in danger.
So after the stone door was opened, Su Aotian took a closer look at the situation inside the stone cottage, and at a glance, he couldn't help but be disappointed.
Judging from the appearance, this stone cottage is quite imposing, after all, such a thick stone wall that stretches for dozens of miles as high as a hundred zhang, even from the perspective of Su Aotian's understanding and ability, it is not possible to complete it in thirty or fifty years, because these stone walls are all real materials, not made by using supernatural power to condense vitality, the time and energy consumed are very huge, although it is a stone building, but its solidity is absolutely extraordinary, Su Aotian feels that even if his aura is not lost, it is difficult to shake this stone wall with all his strengthγ
He already had the power to compete with the origin of the world in the lower realm, and there was basically nothing he couldn't destroy, but when he arrived in the spirit realm, a stone wall made him feel frustrated that he was powerless, which also made him deeply feel the difference between the spirit world and the lower world.
Since this stone wall is no longer trivial, what is behind the stone wall is naturally more exciting for him. With this in mind, he took the first look at the interior of the stone cottage, but was stunned to find that there were no tall and ornate buildings inside, which was very different from his imagination.
Coming onto him was an incomparably empty large square, and there were many instruments scattered in one corner of the square, which could be seen at a glance to be used for human practice, and this familiar scene reminded him of the martial arts training ground in Zhenguan Village, but this square in the stone cottage was countless times larger.
Behind the square, there are rows of stone houses, mostly bungalows, and the only few high-rise buildings, that is, two or three storeys, are very low. There is no gate in the bungalow, and it should have been a door, but it is just a square black hole, so that the things inside can be seen at a glance, all of which are some rolling stone wood, tribulus terrestris iron nails and other city defense equipment, and dense and countless knives, guns, swords, halberds and other weapons, it seems that these are warehouses, storing a large number of materials, these things give people the impression that this stone cottage is ready to start a war at any time. Those floors look like a place to live.
It was noon, the hottest time of the day, so there was no one in the square, and it seemed even more empty. There are more than ten miles away from this square and stone houses, there is a dense building, it seems that there is a place where the Shishanzhai people live, but those buildings are also extremely low stone houses, without any gorgeous decoration, giving people the feeling that they have built a shelter from the wind and rain to accommodate themselves, and they will not live on the ground in the open air.
The buildings here, not to mention compared with the huge but not magnificent Chengtian Continent like Xuanwu City, there is not much difference from Zhenguan Village, the biggest difference is that the ground occupied by this stone cottage is much broader, and it feels like thousands of Zhenguan Villages have gathered together.
The spiritual realm that everyone in the Chengtian Continent yearns for, the spiritual realm that has to soar to the end of their hearts and minds, and the place where the human race gathers here, is so dilapidated and shabby, compared to the living environment of the monks of the Chengtian Continent, it is simply so bad that it is unimaginable, even in the eyes of an ascetic like Su Aotian, who is not satisfied with enjoyment, it is unimaginable!
Cultivating to make Liu Ruyan and other human race immortal cultivators in the spirit realm like Su Aotian unable to see through the tribulation power, actually live in such a huge and chaotic village!
