Volume 1: The Road to the Sky Chapter 3: Why is it coming?
Zheng Dao fell on the bed and wept silently. Ji Cang Zhenren also got up from the stool in front of the bed, and walked around the room helplessly and a little irritably, Po Jun stood beside Zheng Dao's bed with an expressionless face, not knowing how to comfort him.
Suddenly, Zheng Dao turned over and got out of bed, knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to Ji Cang Zhenren, and said, "Thank you Zhenren." He stood up and saluted Po Jun again, and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother! ”
Ji Cang Zhenren was upset that he couldn't save people, and when he saw Zheng Dao kowtowing to him, he stopped and was stunned, and forgot to stop Zheng Dao. Po Jun called: "Brother Zheng Dao, what are you going to do?"
Zheng Dao stood up straight, and said in a desolate voice: "I'll go see Xi'er, since there is no way to save her, then I'll always be by her side and send her on the last ride." Hearing him say this, Po Jun looked at Master Ji Cang Zhenren and waited for his instructions, after all, it was the residence of a female disciple, so it was a little inappropriate for Zheng Dao to go rashly.
Jicang Zhenren stopped and looked out the door. muttered to himself: "Everything is forbearance, and you can turn things around." If you find a lost soul, you will be destined to preach. "Zheng Dao and Po Jun don't know what Ji Cang Zhenren is talking about.
Zheng Dao didn't know what else Jicang Zhenren had to say, and he didn't dare to ask, so he could only stand in place. Po Jun did not get the permission of the master, and he did not dare to show Zheng Dao the way.
Ji Cang Zhenren stood for a moment, as if he had made up his mind, and said to Zheng Dao: "Wait a minute, I have something to tell you." Ji Cang Zhenren did not let Zheng Dao leave, and instructed Po Jun: "Jun'er, go out, pass on my message, no one is allowed to approach here within six hours, otherwise the door rules will be dealt with." ”
Po Jun was stunned at first when he heard his master's order, and said in his heart: "What is the big thing that makes it so mysterious?" Although he had doubts, Po Jun still bowed down to receive the order and walked out of the room quickly.
After Pojun left, Ji Cangzhen closed the door tightly and let Zheng Dao sit on the chair next to the tea table, while he was still walking around uneasily, as if he was still trying to make up his mind.
Zheng Dao sat there nervously, his eyes swaying back and forth with Ji Cang Zhenren, he didn't dare to disturb Ji Cang Zhenren, he could only let himself be more patient, Zheng Dao also saw that Ji Cang Zhenren was doing a fierce ideological struggle.
Ji Cang Zhenren walked back and forth for a while, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Zheng Daoru and said with a sigh of relief and some compulsion: "Alas, I have a way to save your Xi'er sister, but I don't know if it will work, and I don't know what the consequences will be if you fail, you have to think about it." ”
As soon as he heard that there was a way to save his sister Xi'er, Zheng Dao immediately came to his senses and said eagerly: "Real person, please speak, no matter what difficulties there are, I will give it a try, as long as I can save her, I am willing to do anything." ”
Ji Cangzhen said with some difficulty: "My method is not as simple as the word difficult, and it is even beyond the scope of danger. I don't exaggerate to say that I don't know if I can succeed in doing this, and even if I succeed, the road ahead will be full of difficulties.
But if you fail, not only will you not be able to save your sister Xi'er, but you will also be scattered, and you will never be able to live again. Even, we humans may face a catastrophe. ”
After listening to Ji Cangzhen's words, Zheng Dao was stunned, what kind of method would have such serious consequences, and Zheng Dao's heart began to drum. If it is really as Jicang Zhenren said, then success or failure is on oneself, and success is good.
But once he fails, it is a trivial matter for his soul to be scattered, and he can accept it if he can't save Mingxi, but the big deal is to die with her. But because of his own failures, he has affected the common people, which is absolutely unacceptable.
Ji Cang Zhenren saw that Zheng Dao was silent, thinking that he was afraid, so he said: "Young man, I understand your thoughts, your sister Xi'er is already weak, and it is not worth taking your own life again, you have to think about it carefully." ”
Ji Cang Zhenren's words interrupted Zheng Dao's thoughts, and hearing Ji Cang Zhenren say this, Zheng Dao immediately retorted: "No, real person, you misunderstood me. I'm not thinking about myself, if I can save my sister Xi'er, it doesn't matter if it makes me lose my soul, what I'm worried about is that once I fail, it will affect the common people, which makes me unbearable, I can't put more innocent people to death in order to save one person. ”
After listening to Zheng Dao's words, Ji Cang Zhenren nodded in agreement and said, "It's very gratifying for you to think so." In fact, after so many years, it is time for us humans to resist, just give it a fight, and leave success or failure to fate.
I'm running out of time, and if I wait any longer, I'm afraid I really won't have a chance. Ji Cang Zhenren's words made Zheng Dao's monk a little confused, looking at Ji Cang Zhenren blankly, waiting for Ji Cang Zhenren to solve his doubts.
Since Ji Cang Zhenren had made up his mind, he was no longer at a loss, and regained his calmness and calmness of the Dao Zhenren, and sat on the chair opposite Zheng Dao.
Ji Cang Zhenren took out two cups in the tea tray, one in front of Zheng Dao and one in front of himself, Zheng Dao hurriedly stood up and picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Ji Cang Zhenren, and also poured a cup for himself.
Jicang Zhenren took a sip of tea, sighed and said: "I can't remember how long this secret has been in my heart, and I am the only one in this world who knows this secret, I have been tormented by this secret, I dare not tell anyone, I dare not let anyone know, because this secret is related to the safety of the common people." ”
Speaking of this, Ji Cang Zhenren sighed and lowered his head in pain. Zheng Dao didn't know how to comfort Ji Cangzhen, so he could only remain silent on the side.
After a pause, Ji Cang Zhenren sighed again and continued: "Alas, this secret has to be told a long time ago. In fact, in the world we live in, not only our human world, but also only us, human beings, there are seven continents in this world.
In addition to the human world where we humans live, the other six continents are the fairy land, the god realm, the ghost realm, the demon realm, the demon cave, and the largest area in the far north, which is called the land of the desolation.
The seven continents are a single entity, but they have their own borders with each other, and they are artificially divided into seven territories. We are at the center of the other six continents, bordering the other six continents.
Our south is the fairyland, the west is the god realm, the east is the demon cave, the north is the demon world, the southeast is the ghost realm between the fairy land and the demon cave, and there is a region between the god realm and the demon world, connecting the world and the desolate land. ”
What Ji Cang Zhenren said made Zheng Dao dumbfounded, if someone else said these words, then Zheng Dao would definitely think that it was a fantasy, and the other party was telling a story. But these words were told to him by Ji Cang Zhenren, Ji Cang Zhenren is the only person in this world who is called an immortal, and he has no reason and will not deceive himself.
Zheng Dao asked thoughtfully, "If these continents are all connected, why haven't I heard of anyone going out?"
Ji Cang Zhenren shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Each continent has its own borders, and there are enchantments between the borders, not to mention ordinary people, even I can't cross the past."
When ordinary people walk to the edge of the barrier, they will see nothing in front of them, and if they go any further, they will feel like they have hit a wall.
You can't see anything even though you're stopped, you think it's the end of the world, but it's actually the barrier between continents.
People from each continent can pass through the barrier of their own continent, but they cannot pass through the barrier of the other side. Only those who have cultivated to the middle drop realm can see other continents, and only they can cross the barrier and go to another continent. ”
Zheng Dao nodded, and listened to Ji Cangzhen continue: "Actually, to put it simply, the enchantment is the protective wall set up by those powerful people between the continents for their own territory, and the enchantment is not eternal, and the mana of the enchantment will gradually fade over time, which requires people with high mana to constantly maintain and repair, so that the enchantment can always be firm and will not collapse."
However, if the mana of the barrier fades to a certain point, cracks will appear in some weak areas, and if they are not repaired, the cracks will grow larger and larger, and eventually a gap will form. Now, the enchantments of the other five continents are still as strong as ever.
And the barrier in our world has been broken, there is a possibility of collapse at any time, our barrier has become nothing, and people or beasts from the other six continents can enter and leave at will, which is why there are so many demons, demons, ghosts, gods, immortals, and beasts in our world. ”
Speaking of this, Ji Cangzhen sighed helplessly, and continued: "Unlike us humans, those immortals, gods, demons, ghosts, and demons are much faster than us in their respective environments for cultivation, and their cultivation will be improved much faster than ours, and they will not be restricted, so those people who come to our world all have some mana, and human beings are ordinary people except for the disciples of Lingxiao Sect who can cultivate and have some cultivation.
Those outsiders from other continents can do whatever they want when we have few enemies in the world, and they fight with each other, but it is we humans who suffer. Demons eat people, ghosts are scary, and bewitching people:
The way to improve the cultivation of demons is to eat people, the more people eat, the more essence and blood they get, and the stronger their mana; ghosts exist in the form of souls, scaring people's souls out of the body, so that they can occupy human bodies and use them to nourish themselves;
The demon will transform into handsome men and beautiful women, in order to charm humans and absorb their essence for cultivation. The gods and immortals are nominally saving people, but in fact, they just want people to worship them, and the more incense they worship, the more mana they gather, and the faster their cultivation will improve, which is why they gather in the world.
