Chapter 9: The Cultivation Methods of Mortals

Seeing the Black Mountain thieves go away, Lin Zi wiped the sweat from his palms and asked with palpitations:

"We're safe now, aren't we?"

"Safe for now, but we must get out of here now, before they can realize that we are lying to them. Zhang Lu explained.

Tianchen was a little puzzled: "Where did we cheat them?"

What I said seems to be the truth, and I finally didn't deceive people and told the truth, why did I end up deceiving the other party?

Zhang Lu was a little embarrassed, looking up at the sky and not speaking. Tianchen gradually came back to his senses and stared at him with wide eyes:

"Don't tell me there are no of your soldiers around. ”

Zhang Lu coughed and said: "As the saying goes, soldiers are not tired of cheating......"

"Not really?"

Tianchen was shocked, jumped to his feet and said: "You said before, I thought you really had, if you had said no, I wouldn't have dared to burn the cloth." ”

If I think about it before, if I really fight...... The consequences are unimaginable, Tianchen was afraid for a while. patted his buttocks, pulled his legs and ran, ran a few steps and saw that everyone didn't follow, and turned around and drank:

"Why don't you run away quickly, when the Montenegrin thieves react, do we still have a way to live?"

The pillar pointed to the carriage and wondered, "We have a car, why do we have to walk?"

Tianchen raised his head and slapped his head, and he was almost stupidly crying by himself.

The carriage can only seat four people. Huang Baozhong's master and apprentice were the most seriously injured and entered the carriage. Zhang Lu also got into it with his qualifications, and Tianchen dragged away the forest that he also wanted to enter, and cheekily climbed into the carriage, calling Lin Zi angrily. There was no way, Zhu Zi and Lin Zi had to drive outside.

The carriage drove away from the mountain temple, Tianchen opened the curtains, looked back in a daze, and felt a thousand sorrows.

Out of danger, everyone was talking easily, but who would have thought of the little beggar in the mountain temple? Who would care about the little beggar?

Zhang Lu saw that he was depressed, so he pushed him.

"What do you think? Shouldn't we be happy that we escaped death, why are we sad?"

Tianchen glanced at him dissatisfied, leaned his head against the wall of the compartment, and only spoke softly after a long time:

"You'd better repair that mountain temple when you have a chance in the future, after all, the mountain god saved you. ”

Zhang Luhu said suspiciously: "Boy Chen, how can you be sure that the mountain god saved us, do you know something?"

Tianchen glanced at him: "It's the Pingshan goddess, not the mountain god." Then no matter how Zhang Lu asked, he didn't say anything more.

Zhang Lu saw that he didn't want to say it and was helpless, so he told him:

"We don't need to repair this mountain temple, if there are gods in the mountain temple, inform the local government, and our own officials will come forward to repair it. ”

Tianchen nodded and didn't say anything more.

Binh Duong County Government.

Wen Zheng, the principal of Pingyang Academy, ran to the county government as soon as it was dawn to ask to see the county lieutenant. The first thing I said when I saw the county lieutenant was:

"Lord County Lieutenant, Pingshan was sealed last night, God-granted!"

The county lieutenant was surprised: "Gods? Or is it bestowed? Are you not mistaken, Heavenly Court has not had contact with the human world for thousands of years, how can it be canonized as a god in the human world?"

Wen Zheng said: "My lord, there will be no mistake, the old man felt it last night, and with the help of the image of the sage, he sensed the mountain god of Naping Mountain from afar. She was originally from Pingyang County before her death, and died because she sacrificed herself to save people, and the heavenly court felt her pure heart and was named the goddess of Pingshan. ”

The county lieutenant frowned and sighed, "This matter is too abrupt. Thousands of years ago, the demon world invaded the human world, and the fairy realm detected it and fought with it, and soon defeated the demon world and sealed the passage between the human and demon worlds. And the Demon Venerable who was trapped in the world was angry and destroyed the heavenly gate that communicated with the immortal realm in the world, and the path of the immortal world was cut off from then on.

Now that the upper and lower realms are not connected, how can the heavenly court seal the mountain gods in the world?"

Wen Zheng was also puzzled, so he said: "Old man, let's go and see what is going on in person." ”

"The stakes are high, and I will go with you. Now that the Demon Abyss Passage is quite unstable, I am afraid that the Demon Realm will have to move again. If the upper and lower domains can really be reconnected, then it will be a great thing for us. ”

Tianchen was almost annoyed to death by the pillar. The pillar is curious and wants to ask everything. Tianchen didn't want to pay attention to him, so he kept chattering to himself. And others don't stop it, because they want to know the answer.

But there were some things he couldn't say, they were too shocking, and he had to endure the saliva of the pillars that made his ears satiate.

"I wondered, how did the old witch get the medicine, silently, we all got tricked inexplicably......"

This can be said, Tianchen was so excited that he burst into tears.

"The old witch gave the medicine when she was making the soup, but not in the soup, but in the fire. Tianchen took out a black piece of charcoal ash from his clothes.

"This is what I turned out of the ashes of their fire, it is obviously not firewood, it should be a medicinal herb, but I don't know pharmacology, I don't know what the effect is.

But as you can guess, the old witch took the opportunity to throw it into the fire while the groom was cooking the soup, and the smoke produced was masked by the smell of the broth, and you will only react when you inhale enough amount. ”

Everyone nodded, and Lin Zi couldn't help but say, "Brother Chen, it's a pity that you burned the cloth, we don't need to deliberately disgust the Black Mountain thieves to get angry." This is a great accomplishment to hand over the cloth. ”

Tianchen laughed when he heard this, and Lin Zi was inexplicable.

"I do disgust them, but ruined cloth is not. The most important reason why we were able to avoid shopping this time was that we ruined the cloth. ”

Lin Zi still didn't understand, turned his head to look at the pillar, and the pillar also looked confused. Zhang Lu couldn't listen to it anymore in the carriage, and yelled outside:

"Stupid, don't you understand what you say so obviously? The Black Mountain thieves are here for the cloth, and once the cloth is destroyed, their mission will fail, and there is no need to risk heavy casualties to fight with us. Do you understand?"

After speaking, he didn't care about the two of them, and said to Tianchen, who was sitting next to him:

"Boy Chen, do you have any plans for this incident?"

"I don't know what the situation is now? tell me about the power situation in the human world, and the matter of Xun Xian's question. "Tianchen wants to understand the situation in the world first, and then make future arrangements.

Huang Baozhong was surprised, where did this young man come from? How could he ask such a well-known question?

Zhang Lu saw that he was puzzled, so he explained: "Boy Chen has lost his memory, and he doesn't remember anything before." When I woke up, I was in that mountain temple. ”

Huang Baozhong was stunned.

Zhang Lu gave Tianchen a general introduction: "This is the Great Xia Dynasty, one of the most powerful dynasties in the whole world. There are six states in Daxia, namely Zhongzhou, Muzhou, Liangzhou, Lizhou, Qingzhou, and Yanzhou. We are located in Makishu.

Muzhou is divided into nine counties, Pingyang County, Qinghe County, Yueyang County, Qushui County, Zhangping County, Changle County, Tangu County, and Xishan County. You know that we are the soldiers of the Binh Duong County Government.

There were many other countries outside of Bactria such as the Great Khanate in the north that was in constant conflict with Bactria and the islands of Bactria overseas. There are many strange races further afield. But that's all the old man has seen.

As for the people you said about seeking immortals, we call them qi practitioners. According to the seniors in the army, everyone can practice qi, but few succeed.

In the places where the art of cultivation is taught in Great Xia, there are generally academic palaces, academies, sects, families, and armies.

Most of the palaces are places where royals, royal relatives, and dignitaries study, and you can't go to this place.

There are two types of colleges, one is a public institution and the other is a private college.

The seowon selects students from the schools, as well as from some prestigious families. If you want to enter the academy, you have to start from the township school, rise to the county school, and then go to the school to have the opportunity to enter the academy, or join a family, but it is very difficult, don't think about it.

It is even more impossible to cultivate sects, everyone selects disciples from their children and cultivates them from an early age. How old are you? People won't take you.

The cultivation family is similar to the cultivation sect, as the name suggests, you also know that it will not recruit disciples from the outside world, but will only teach the clansmen.

Boy Chen, I'm not lying to you, only the military and schools are suitable for you. There are many kinds of professors in the academy, and they are all selected from the army, the academy, and the university.

As long as you join the army, you will have the opportunity to learn the art of practicing qi. Of course, you have to be good enough to excel. You have to know that even the best soldiers who are selected will fail. So the army doesn't waste time on ordinary soldiers, I say that, do you understand?"

Zhang Lu said very clearly, Tianchen is also thinking about the most suitable path for him now.

"Is there any difference between these kinds of places?" Tianchen asked.

Zhang Lu scratched his head and thought about it for a moment before saying, "The army cultivates martial arts. The school palace and the academy are mainly based on literature and martial arts, supplemented by some miscellaneous ways. The sect follows the path of magic. But these are all hearsay, and some of them I don't know very well. ”

Tianchen nodded, according to Zhang Lu, he should be the most suitable for the sect's cultivation method, but it seems to be very difficult. He asked a little unwillingly, "Is it really impossible for the sect to be at all?

Zhang Lu shook his head and said, "I don't know about this, but I still hope you can come to the army." ”

"But the army is not for me. Tianchen smiled bitterly.

"But you only have the army to enter, and you can't go anywhere else. Zhang Lu spread his hands and shrugged.

"The road is always tortuous, the choice is always difficult, you let me think about it. Tianchen lamented, life is really helpless.

The carriage finally arrived at the county seat, and although it had long been out of danger, it was even more reassuring when it saw the thick and tall walls.

Zhang Lu and the others had already jumped out of the car to find the guards guarding the city gate, everyone knew each other, let them have a general understanding of the matter of the Black Mountain thieves and then report it immediately.

The carriage stopped at the city gate, and there were only Tianchen and Huang Baozhong's master and apprentice left in the car, Huang Baozhong's master and apprentice were very silent and wooden, and Zhang Lu and Tianchen never talked to each other when they talked. Unexpectedly, Huang Baozhong spoke at this time.

"Little Brother Chen, there is a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not. ”
