Chapter 382: Scattered Cultivation
It didn't take long to come to Firefly Town, and a few days later, the news that the door of the Heaven and Earth Abyss was wide open came immediately, and Chang Feng and the others immediately acted according to the established plan.
Di Xi, Liang Xia, and Gong Wenkai sat in Firefly Town to collect the treasures brought out by the exploration monks from the Tongtian Abyss and give them support at the same time, while Chang Feng, accompanied by Luo Yuliang and Meng Hang, led Zhao Youxin, Zhang Chen, Li Ying, and the twelve elite disciples stationed in Firefly Town to leave Firefly Town and go to Tongtian Abyss.
Although the main part of the Tongtenjin Abyss is all underground, the entrance is not small, and the scenery inside the entrance is also quite beautiful.
Several low peaks are staggered together, forming a valley with a radius of about ten miles, in addition to the brown stones, the valley is also full of a kind of low red trees, the branches and leaves of the small trees are round, and they are distributed in a fan-shape, which looks like a small fan from a distance.
The small fans converge into trees, and the trees converge into patches of woods, making the whole valley appear beautiful red.
As soon as he left Firefly Town, he gestured to the small red trees on both sides of the road, and Meng Hang introduced to Chang Feng: "Lord Chang, these small red trees are called fan trees, and they are not spiritual materials in themselves, and they are not of great use to monks such as us, but they are the favorite ingredients of fireflies. ”
"At night, countless fireflies appear and gather together to swim among the autumn leaves, which is a beautiful sight. ”
"And every time the moon is full, there will be several times more fireflies around the abyss than before, and they seem to have spirituality, and they will form different natural scenery such as mountains and rivers, and the scene will constantly change under the night sky, and the scenery will be more beautiful than the aurora above the polar ice field. ”
"Because of this, the entrance to the Heaven and Earth Abyss is called the Firefly Cave, and the town where we temporarily live is also called Firefly Town. ”
"Hehe, I've long heard that there is such a strange scene in the Heavenly Radial Firefly Cave, and when I have time, I will definitely pick a full moon night to enjoy it. ”
Hearing Meng Hang's explanation, Chang Feng was also quite yearning for that kind of scene, and then asked: "Elder Meng, there are a lot of strange things in our immortal cultivation realm, and the fireflies around the heavens and the earth have such changes, is there no one who has developed any Dao?"
According to Chang Feng's understanding, Tongtian Tianyuan is a treasure land, and the fireflies around the abyss have such a change, maybe it will have something to do with Tongtian Tianyuan, if you can participate in the study of the doorway, maybe you will be able to discover some laws or treasures.
Meng Hang's response made Chang Feng a little disappointed: "What the adults think is right, anyone who encounters such a thing for the first time will have the same doubts as adults, but it is said that the Shanhai Kingdom has specially sent high-level monks to study the relationship between fireflies and Tongtiandiyuan, and even invited people from the barbarian tribe who are proficient in raising spirit insects, but there is really no conclusion to prove that there is any connection between the two." ”
"Does that mean that the fan tree and the firefly have no connection with the heavens and the earth abyss?" Chang Feng still had doubts in his heart.
Meng Hang nodded, and Luo Yuliang on the side turned around and said, "Lord Chang, aren't we here to find treasures?
Luo Yuliang is an elder of the Political Affairs Department of the Great Wilderness Branch, with the cultivation of the late Yuan Infant, and the main task of being sent by the sect this time is to protect Chang Feng.
In the Great Wilderness Branch, he has a good relationship with Chang Feng, so he speaks casually.
"Hehe, what Elder Luo said is right, we don't need to pay attention to those little bugs. Chang Feng snorted, and turned his gaze to the hurried flow of people on the road.
Firefly Town is on the periphery of Tongtiandiyuan, and the distance between the two sides is not far away, so when the news came out from Shanhai Country, many monks living in Shanhai Country rushed to the entrance of Tongtiandiyuan.
Looking at the many monks in a hurry on the road, Chang Feng also sighed: "Heh, there are so many people!"
"My lord, the monks who live in Firefly Town are only a small part, and after a while, adults will know what a large number of people are when they see it with their own eyes. Meng Hang took over the conversation and reminded him.
Although Meng Hang's previous reminder, Chang Feng was still shocked when he came to the entrance valley of Tongtiandiyuan.
At this time, there were already more than a million monks gathered outside the valley around the Tongtian Abyss, from the bottom of the valley to the top of the mountain, all of them were monks, crowded like ants, gathering or scattering, waiting for the open entrance of the garrison of the Shanhai Country.
Glancing around at the crowd as far as his eye could see, Chang Feng also said with great emotion: "I really didn't expect that our Shanhai Country would have so many scattered cultivations, why didn't we encounter many in ordinary times?"
Faced with Chang Feng's question, Meng Hang immediately explained: "My lord has been following the activities of the sect since he joined the sect, and most of the people he comes into contact with are monks in large forces such as the sect, so naturally he does not have much contact with the world of scattered cultivation, so he doesn't know much about the world of scattered cultivation. ”
"Well, what Elder Meng said is good. Chang Feng nodded approvingly, but instead asked, "By the way, I heard that Elder Meng was also a casual cultivator before joining this sect, can you tell me your opinion on casual cultivation, I also have a long insight?"
"My lord asked each other, and my subordinates naturally knew everything, my lord, the entrance in the distance is the entrance specially designated by the Shanhai Kingdom for the top forces of all parties, let's talk as we walk. ”
A sentence of response, guiding Chang Feng to walk, Meng Hang's chest rose and fell a few times, obviously thinking, and after a few steps, he said: "My lord, loose cultivation is a collective term for individual monks on the Shanhai Continent, most of them are like duckweed, rootless and sourceless, wandering on the Shanhai Continent. ”
"The life of casual cultivation is mostly difficult, and the resources needed for cultivation are often not guaranteed, and the corresponding strength is uneven, and the gap is huge. ”
"And the lack of resources often leads to unscrupulous means for the sake of cultivation, stealing, robbing robbers abound, so there are many notorieties for loose cultivation in the rivers and lakes, of course, there are also many monks with chivalrous feelings among the scattered cultivators, but there are not many such people. ”
"Being a casual cultivator is not without benefits, and freedom is the most worthy of showing off in casual practice. ”
"Sect monks have advantages, but relatively speaking, they lack freedom, whenever the Shanhai Continent encounters a war with the demon clan, the sect monks and the Seven Kingdoms monks need to be dispatched and sacrifice their lives to fight, but loose cultivators can hide far away. ”
"Just like this time in the great battle led by the Shanhai Kingdom to besiege the Endless Demon Mountain and the Nine Dragons Demon Realm, this sect has carried out a round battle, and there are no less than tens of thousands of casualties of monks every year, and the scattered cultivators do not have this responsibility. ”
After saying this, Meng Hang paused slightly, and seeing that Chang Feng was as calm as ever, he continued: "Master Chang, in fact, there is no big difference between casual cultivation and sect monks in essence, they are all part of the Jianghu monks, just like this sect, which was originally founded by many scattered cultivators. ”
"Even today, most of the many small sects, gangs, and other organizations on the rivers and lakes today are established by scattered cultivators. ”
"The only difference is that the Seven Kingdoms, which are dominated by the Shanhai Kingdom, do not recognize the organizations established by the Scattered Cultivators, and the Jianghu Organizations also suppress the organizations established by the Scattered Cultivators in every possible way in order to prevent some gang organizations from becoming too strong, so that there are no large-scale scattered cultivation forces in the Shanhai Continent today. ”
"As a casual cultivator, you can either wander alone or join some well-known organizations recognized by the Shanhai Country, and there is no other choice. ”
After hearing this, Chang Feng nodded, obviously listening, but instead asked: "Elder Meng, it is said that the Sandalwood Islands in the open sea are the world of loose cultivation, and the forces established by scattered cultivation there are not weaker than our Jianghu forces, but there is such a thing?"
Since Chang Feng knew that his second uncle Chang Qihai led some of the remaining forces of the Chang family to retreat from the Sandalwood Islands in the open sea, he was extremely concerned about the situation there, but Meng Hang's answer was quite disappointing to him:
"My lord, my subordinates have heard of such things, but my subordinates have not been to the Honolulu Islands, so I can't be sure if these news are true. ”
