Chapter 725: Stagnation
......
"You don't have to be nervous, I have just seen the dispute between you and the young man named Lei Fan, according to my observation, when you were refining, it caused a backlash in your internal qi, so that your cultivation stagnated, in my opinion, you have been a fourth-level martial artist for two years. Feeling that his words were not heavy enough, Ou Chuyang said progressively.
At this time, Shao Yang was completely defeated. I can see that my strength is not very powerful, but I can even see when I make a mistake in refining, and I can't say that the strength of this person in front of me is not just as simple as a martial arts powerhouse. However, even so, Shao Yang still looked directly at Ou Chuyang with that kind of hostile eyes, even more hostile than just now.
Ou Chuyang knew that his words had provoked the young man's vigilance, and he hurriedly said: "Do you want to become a strong person, if you want, I can help you." ”
Become a strong man? Shao Yang dreamed of it. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been practicing hard, and even if he went too far, he would have attracted internal qi backlash, making it impossible for his cultivation to enter the realm again.
Now, the stranger in front of him actually kept saying that he wanted to help himself, and Shao Yang couldn't help but feel moved, but Shao Yang thought about it, there is nothing in the world that is not earned for nothing, this person must have his purpose. So, Shao Yang asked, "What do you want to do?"
Ou Chuyang smiled and said: "I am an outsider, I am not familiar with this place, if you can be my guide, I can let you put aside the evil diseases of the past two years and refine them into a peerless powerhouse." I don't know, do you have this interest. ”
"Really?" Shao Yang said with a light in his eyes when he heard this.
Ou Chuyang shrugged his shoulders and said, "I have to lie to you?" ”
"Good. ”
With Shao Yangqi's trust, Ou Chuyang finally found the guide to this chaotic star sea. In fact, since Ou Chuyang set foot in this area, Ou Chuyang has this kind of thought, no matter where he is, it is not a good thing for anyone to be unfamiliar with life.
The dispute between Shao Yang and Lei Fan can be said to have given Ou Chuyang a chance, otherwise Ou Chuyang would not have been able to let Shao Yang sincerely help him in such a short period of time.
Of course, Ou Chuyang did not deceive Shao Yang, he did have the ability to let Shao Yang regain the IU refining realm. Just imagine, a powerful sect-level Dan Master, a Formation Realm Master, and a Martial Saint powerhouse, wouldn't it be too simple to help a fourth-level martial artist boy.
Along the way, Ou Chuyang continued to learn information about the Chaotic Star Sea from Shao Yang's mouth. Don't look at this young man, only eighteen years old, but he has a lot of knowledge stored in his head.
The Chaotic Star Sea is the general name of this vast area of the East China Sea, which is roughly divided into three major territories, which are divided by array cultivators, Dan cultivators, and instrument cultivators. Because everything he has learned is partial, and there is no interest in it, he has been in a state of peace and quiet.
Luoyan Island, which is the small island where Ou Chuyang is currently located, is the territory of this array of cultivators. The territory of the formation cultivators was called the Nanwan Islands by Shao Yang. This archipelago is extremely vast, with no less than a thousand large and small islands, and due to geographical reasons, coupled with artificial division, the Nanwan Islands are controlled by three different factions of the Formation Cultivation Sect.
These three major sects are: Xingluo Sect, Taixuan Sect, and the most powerful Guiyuan Sect.
The three major sects each hold one side, and their strength is almost the same, and the Guiyuan Sect should be the strongest. These three major sects are considered to be different factions.
According to Shao Yang's oral statement, the successive masters of this Star Romant are all gifted and have a good study of the stars and celestial bodies, and their faction cultivates the formation, advocating the use of celestial stars.
Taixuanmen, comprehend all things, and repair the array is also based on these things, usually using the terrain, surrounding plants, rocks and other geographical images to set up a formation, advocating that all things are the mainstay.
As for the Guiyuan Sect, it is said to be the oldest array sect, and the tone of this sect is different from the first two sects.
Because of their different philosophies, these three major sects have been fighting each other for thousands of years, and they have never been distinguished, of course, Ou Chuyang can understand. Just as the so-called Great Dao is the beginning, what is important is balance, and all paranoia is not conducive to cultivating the Dao of the Formation Realm to the extreme, which is also the most basic nature that human beings have.
But that's it, that's why the entire Chaotic Star Sea Area is cultivated together, and it ends up in a three-point situation.
Shao Yang is a loyal supporter of this Star Romans faction.
Speaking of Shao Yang, don't look at his small person, but when it comes to family background, it is neither high nor low. It's just because his father is a descendant of a down-and-out small sect, and when he arrives at Shao Yang's father's generation, his talent is mediocre, and his martial arts cultivation is not his way, and he can only reach the peak of martial arts when he is more than fifty years old. This kind of cultivation can be said to be extremely low in the Chaotic Star Sea.
Shao Yang's father is nothing, but Shao Yang's mother is not small, it is said that his mother is the descendant of the Rong family, the four major families under the Star Luo Gate, because of a coincidental opportunity, Shao Yang's father heroically saved the United States and met his mother, and then his mother withstood the pressure of the family, resolutely gave up the identity of the family Xiaojie, and followed Shao Yang's father to live in seclusion on this Luoyan Island.
Ou Chuyang expressed deep sympathy and admiration for Shao Yang's mother's behavior, imagine how much determination and state of mind it takes for a person to be able to give up his status, identity and power in the family to spend his life with a down-and-out monk.
Love knows no bounds. The power of love is truly incomprehensible.
It is precisely with this level of relationship that everyone knows the identity of Shao Yang's mother, and Shao Yang has worked hard for his father, planning to use the strength of cultivation to correct his father's name, to tell those crumbs in this chaotic star sea area that his Shao family Shao Yang's father and son are not the waste in the mouth of human ninjas.
It's just that Shao Yangqi was unlucky, at the age of sixteen, in order to break through the fifth-level martial artist, the iu refining was too hasty, which directly led to the poor internal qi, and since then his cultivation has stagnated, and then he has ended up the laughing stock of Luoyan Island. However, Shao Yang was not discouraged by this. In the past two years, he has been refining non-stop, even if he can't break through, he has never given up.
Ou Chuyang wants to help Shao Yang, in addition to making him his guide here, another point is that he likes this son's perseverance and perseverance.
Thinking that he was still at this time of the year, Ou Chuyang felt that his experience with this young man was extremely similar in some places, which made him helpful.
Along the way, Ou Chuyang and Shao Yang had a shallow understanding of martial arts, and gradually narrowed the distance between the two. Although the two still maintained that unclear relationship of interest, after all, Shao Yang still greatly reduced his wariness of Ou Chuyang.
"Senior, it's here. ”
"This is your home?" Ou Chuyang couldn't help but be surprised as he looked at the rows of wooden houses that were only a thousand meters away from the sea.
According to Ou Chuyang's understanding of Shao Yang's family background, even if his father is down, as a peak martial artist, he will not live the life of a fisherman, not to mention that his mother is still a small family member.
Seeing the expression on Ou Chuyang's face, Shao Yang lowered his head in amazement and said: "Alas~, the seniors don't know, my mother has cut off contact with the family since she left the Rong family, and it is impossible for the Rong family to help us, as for me and my father~, what is a martial artist in this chaotic star sea?"
"Martial artist is nothing?" Ou Chuyang didn't quite understand this, but only after hearing Shao Yang explain it carefully for himself did he understand.
It turns out that the era in the Chaotic Star Sea is very different from that of the Wang Array, and the previous formation cultivation in the Chaotic Star Sea is mainly based on cultivating the formation, and they don't care about personal cultivation at all. I don't know when, some people found out that only the stronger the strength, the stronger the formation cultivation will be, in this way, the entire Chaotic Star Sea Region, not to mention the South Bend Islands, even the place of Nadan cultivation and instrument cultivation has also set a rule at the same time.
Countless array cultivators have used their great supernatural powers to establish a cultivator's realm on each inhabited island, and this cultivator's realm is a formation similar to the small Five Elements derivative array, and its function is to be able to improve one's cultivation through the array. This place has long been the most basic thing in the Chaotic Star Sea, and no one doesn't like it, because it can bring people a higher and faster IU refining place.
As a result, in the past hundreds of years, the number of talents in the Chaotic Star Sea has multiplied, and the martial arts style has sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. Just imagine, the chaotic star sea area is full of this realm of cultivators, and there are no powerful warriors appearing.
At this moment, Ou Chuyang finally understood why the Martial God Tower had blocked the Witch Lord and the Chaotic Star Sea. Just imagine, let a group of monks with the realm of thousands of cultivators descend on the continent, wouldn't the continent be sad.
Feeling the sadness in Shao Yang's heart, Ou Chuyang could also understand the misery of being bullied by others, but then he immediately smiled like a spring breeze, patted Shao Yang's shoulder and said: "The past is gone, everything has to look forward, believe me, from now on, you will be different." ”
Listening to Ou Chuyang's confident words, Shao Yangmeng felt that his heart seemed to be driven by the young man at the moment, and he was surging. I don't know why, chatting along the way, Shao Yang gradually began to trust Ou Chuyang, and even Ou Chuyang said that he would become a peerless powerhouse, he couldn't help but believe it.
"By the way, when I get to your house in a moment, don't reveal my identity. Ou Chuyang remembered his origin, and I was afraid that Shao Yang would show his mouth and remind.
Shao Yang asked, "What do I say?"
Ou Chuyang thought for a while and said, "You just say that I am a martial cultivator, as for the origin, there is no need to mention it." ”
"Oh. Shao Yang sighed, and then took Ou Chuyang back to the wooden house.
Unfortunately, Shao Yang's father, Shao Zhong, was not in the house, and Shao Yang's mother also went to the neighboring village to buy rice.
After entering the second wooden house, Shao Yang tidied up the things inside very diligently, and the cabin immediately became simple and clean.
Looking at the young man in front of him, Ou Chuyang nodded appreciatively.
After Shao Yang finished cleaning up, although the mattress was a little old, it was still very clean. Ou Chuyang didn't care about this, he just kept closing his eyes and breathing. Until ~ all the cleaning was over, Shao Yang did not leave, standing in the house, looking at Ou Chuyang who was there without saying a word.
For an hour, neither of them spoke.
Of course, Ou Chuyang did not completely close his spiritual sense, he had been using the Great Spiritual Penetration Technique to observe the changes in Shao Yang's psychology.
In Ou Chuyang's opinion, if you want to cultivate into a peerless powerhouse on the basis of Shao Yang's body, you must have a very calm and resolute heart, otherwise the avenue will not be reached. He was testing Shao Yang's patience to see how long this young man could last.
As Ou Chuyang expected, after an hour, Shao Yang finally couldn't help it, and said softly: "Senior~"
Slowly opening his eyes, Ou Chuyang asked with a smile, "Is there anything else?"
When Shao Yang heard this, he almost didn't get angry. But he couldn't help but say: "Senior, the thing you told me~"
"Oh. Ou Chuyang pretended to suddenly realize: "What's the hurry, I'm tired today, I'll talk about it tomorrow." ”
With that, Ou Chuyang gave an order to expel the guest.
Ou Chuyang's strength, Shao Yang is not clear, but he knows that Ou Chuyang's strength will never be simple, and this kind of powerful person is acting alone, he must have a strange personality, for fear of provoking Ou Chuyang's anger, Shao Yang did not say anything even if he was unwilling, bowed his head and retreated.
At night, the sea breeze blows into the old rowhouses. Under the candle flame, the happy Shao family of three was eating dinner.
Shao Yang confessed Ou Chuyang's affairs to his father, except for hiding his identity and what happened with Lei Fan during the day, he told the truth.
Shao Zhong and Rong Xin are also strong martial cultivators, and they know that this kind of person likes to retreat the most, and they are afraid that they will attract the displeasure of the people who come to visit, so when they came back, they saw that Ou Chuyang's door was closed, and they did not visit.
His father Shao Zhong listened and solemnly instructed: "Yang'er, since this is the case, you have to learn from that predecessor and don't live up to the cultivation of that predecessor." ”
"Got it, father. Shao Yang nodded in response.
At this time, Rong Xin took a piece of fish meat and put it in Shao Yang's bowl, and said softly: "Yang'er, eat more, if you practice it, it will be very hard, your grandfather can become a martial arts powerhouse, it is through hard cultivation step by step, don't be afraid of hardship, you know?"
Shao Yang sighed lightly, and then glanced at his father Shao Zhong, seeing that Shao Zhong was silent, Shao Yang suddenly stopped.
Rong Xin also knew that his words had hurt Shao Zhong's heart, so he immediately closed his mouth. put down the dishes and chopsticks, and when she walked to the outhouse, she suddenly found Shao Yang's scratched tattered shirt.
"Yang'er, what's wrong with this dress?" Rong Xin's voice came from the outhouse.
Shao Yang paused slightly, and then said, "Oh, I went into the back mountain forest to chase the spirit beast." ”
Shao Yang said vaguely, how could he hide it from Shao Zhong's eyes, and just as he was about to get angry, Rong Xin's voice came in again.
"Ah Zhong, come and take a look for me. ”
When he got to the mouth, Shao Zhong's face was a little bad, and when he came to the house, Rong Xin lowered his voice and said: "Don't blame the child, he has been bullied enough in the past few years, since he doesn't want us to worry, why do you have to say it." ”
Hearing this, Shao Zhong sighed and shook his head and said, "I know this, but I have repeatedly told him to endure it, why does he keep holding it back, do you think I want to see him being bullied?"
"Alas~"
Two long sighs came out with a slight debt to his son.
Sitting cross-legged on the other side of the wooden house, Ou Chuyang listened to the words of the three of them from beginning to end, word for word. When he heard that Shao Yang was afraid that his parents were worried and concealed the truth, he immediately had a good impression of him.
"Hehe, I'm still a filial son. Ou Chuyang thought with relief.
After a while, Ou Chuyang woke up from his knees and paced back and forth in the room for a few steps. With a wave of his hand, a Jin Formation that prevented the sound from spreading tightly wrapped around the entire wooden house.
