Chapter 16: The Sect
Hearing Ye Zhou's inquiry, Li Wen and Lu were also secretly strange in their hearts.
Although the Taishang lineage has always been sparsely inherited, rarely interacting with other cultivators, and practicing in seclusion, this one is also too lonely and unheard.
They couldn't help but be suspicious, is this Ye Daoyou really too popular?
But this was admitted by Zhao Xuan, and that one was a disciple of the Yuan Shi lineage, so he should not admit his mistake.
Seeing the suspicious looks on the faces of these two people, Ye Zhou knew that these questions were faintly revealing his details, but his face was still as calm as ever.
As long as the spiritual fluid is in his hands, these two will be held by him.
The cultivation of the Ultimate Law cultivators is already difficult, and every time they break through a realm, it takes a lot of hard work, this spiritual liquid is their hope to continue to break through, Ye Zhou is sure that they don't dare to bet.
Things were just as he expected.
Li Wen and Zhao Xuan saw that Ye Zhou's face was not unusual, and they only thought that he was an ascetic monk who did not understand the world, so they did not ask much and said one after another.
"Since the legend of one of the three emperors and five emperors in ancient times, Emperor Zhuan Xuan, the aura of heaven and earth has become increasingly scarce, and the situation is getting worse and worse! Powerful people rarely appear in the world, and in the Ming Dynasty, Liu Bowen cut off the last dragon qi in the world, and the aura has been completely cut off, and it can only be consumed and cannot be produced, and it has been completely consumed by the end of the Ming Dynasty. Since ancient times, the Daomen has gone down the mountain to maintain the luck of the Chinese dragon vein. However, in the era of the end of the law, there were no more powerful monks in the world, which led to the late Ming Dynasty being replaced by the Qing Dynasty, but there was no hidden dragon in China to compete with it. Subsequently, after many humiliations in modern times, many ancient sects have been inherited and cut off countless times in the passage of time, and they will never return to the previous prosperous era of cultivation, only those profound and extremely ancient sects can survive, called the Xuanmen Authentic Sect, which are the four great avenue sects and the three major Zen sects, and other cultivation forces similar to the ten major cultivation families can also be regarded as side doors, and other cultivators are not among the entry schools, they are all loose cultivators!" Li Wen said slowly.
"Which Four Great Dao Gates are they?" Ye Zhou was also very curious when he heard him say this. What kind of profound sects should these four major sects be in order to be passed down to this day!
"These four great avenues are Kunlun, Laoshan, Wudang, and Quanzhen!" Lu Huanzhen said bluntly, "Kunlun Mountain is the ancestral vein of Chinese dragon qi, the first sacred mountain in China, a cultivation resort, and the source of countless myths and legends, which is also the dojo of the Yuan Shi lineage since ancient times." Sitting on such a sacred mountain, the Yuan Shi Yi line can be called the number one sect in the cultivation realm!"
"Is that the sect where Zhao Xuan is?" Ye Zhou thought secretly, he didn't expect Zhao Xuan to have such a deep background, no wonder he was full of arrogance, and he did have proud capital.
Lu really didn't pay attention to the change in Ye Zhou's expression, and said: "And Laoshan is the source of the Shangqing faction, and it has been prosperous since the Western Han Dynasty. The legend of Wudang Mountain is the place where the Emperor Zhenwu is located, the famous Taoist cave blessed land, and there are many cultivators, but it really rose at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty. Wudang Mountain enters the Tao with martial arts, although the history is not as good as the other three Daomen, but the glory is not inferior. It is only because Zhang Sanfeng, the patriarch of the Wudang Mountain Sect, is said to be the last person on the earth to become an immortal! The Quanzhen Sect is located in Zhongnan Mountain, which was the most prosperous in the Song Dynasty and was the ancestral court of Taoism, among which the hermit monks were the most. Even now, there are many fellow Taoists who live in seclusion in the depths of Zhongnan Mountain, and they are not visible to the world......"
Li Wen and Lu really said slowly, and briefly explained the origin of the four major gates.
The two of them deliberately glanced at Ye Zhou, and then said: "In fact, the Taishang line was also the top sect in the world in ancient times, and it is said to have been passed down from Lao Tzu, the ancestor of Taoism. It's just that your sect has always had few people and rarely been born, and over time, the cultivation world thought that your sect was extinct......!
As they spoke, they secretly looked at Ye Zhou's expression, and there was a lot of tentative meaning in their words, as if they wanted to determine something.
Ye Zhou was noncommittal, and asked lightly, "What about the three major Zen sects?"
"Zen Buddhism is the local Buddhism of China, namely Emei, Jiuhua, and Shaolin, and most of the other Buddhism has lost its magical powers, and its prestige is not obvious. Since ancient times, there are many sword immortals in Shu, this Emei is located in the land of Sichuan and Shu, combined with the two methods of Buddhism and Taoism, which is quite miraculous. Jiuhua Mountain is said to be the Taoist system of Tibet, and there are mostly ascetics in the door, and the demand for cultivation resources is the least, so the world of the end of the law has flourished, and Shaolin is the law of Vajra practice, similar to Wudang, with martial arts into Zen, and finally the body becomes Vajra, the power is infinite, and the sword is difficult to hurt...... "Li Wen said lightly.
"What about the side door?" Ye Zhou asked again.
Lu Zhen smiled, "There are many side doors! The first is Qingcheng Mountain, this vein has many sword immortals, and it used to be the authentic Xuanmen, and it was extremely prosperous, but the method of sword immortals is too resource-intensive, and they are the most seriously injured as soon as the aura is depleted, and now even the inheritance of the exercises is a problem." There is also the Huangshan Danding faction. Huangshan is the place where the Yellow Emperor's alchemy ischemy, there are many medicinal materials of Ganoderma lucidum, the art of alchemy is flourishing, it is said that 30 years ago, there are people in Huangshan to dig up the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, shocking China and even the world. ...... In other side doors, there are also ten major families, the dry corpses of Xiangxi, and the witch Gu of Miaojiang...... Countless!"
Li Wen and Lu Huanzhen are two people, you and I say a word, Ye Zhou seems to have a picture scroll in front of his eyes that encompasses the entire cultivation world, all sects and sects coexist in the world, and cultivators from all walks of life are struggling to survive.
"After all, it is still my ancient Chinese heritage, with a profound heritage, and there can still be so many sects in the world at the end of the world!" Ye Zhou couldn't help but sigh secretly.
Li Wen and Lu Huanzhen kept silent halfway through their words, and looked at Ye Zhou with a blank look, full of urgency.
Ye Zhou was about to continue to ask them about the Xiuzhen Conference, but looking at the appearance of the two of them, he felt that it was better to wait a while.
Messages are also valuable.
These cultivation common senses are all he wants to know, looking at the secretive appearance of these two people's words, if they don't show a little sweetness, I'm afraid they won't say more.
"Ye Daoyou, I don't know if you have your spiritual liquid on you!" Before he could speak, Li Wen and Lu really couldn't help asking.
"It's on you!" Since he decided to trade, Ye Zhou stopped selling Guanzi, took out a small jade bottle and put it in front of the two, which instantly attracted their attention and couldn't take their eyes off.
"This is the spiritual liquid transformed by the aura of heaven and earth!" they involuntarily stretched out their hands.
Ye Zhou held the jade bottle with one hand, and said with a faint smile: "Two fellow Daoists, have you forgotten something? My spiritual liquid can only exchange exercises, spells, and magic weapons!"
The two of them laughed wryly, "The magic weapon is precious, we can only exchange the magic with you." Ten drops of spiritual liquid, any more we won't be able to do it!"
"Okay!" Ye Zhou thought about it and agreed.
He has been practicing alone, and he only has a set of nine-character true recipes on his body, and the means are too simple.
If nothing else, he will officially step into the cultivation realm next.
Where there are people, there is strife.
The same is true of the cultivation realm, this is by no means an immortal land in the world that has no quarrel with the world, in order to seek immortality and fight for the avenue, the cultivator can't do anything.
Ye Zhou secretly thought that sooner or later he would be involved in the battle of cultivators, if he didn't prepare early, he would be too passive at that time.
The spiritual liquid was in front of him, Li Wen and Lu really couldn't wait, and after leaving in a hurry for an hour, they quickly took out one quaint book after another and placed it in front of Ye Zhou, these cultivation methods were very precious, and they didn't know where they got them.
"This is the true solution of the rune, which tells the method of drawing talismans and refining talismans......"
""The Recipe for Immortality, Aoki Immortal, those who practice this method specialize in the Wood Path Method, and are proficient in the way of spiritual plant alchemy!"
"The Wudang faction exercise "Turtle and Snake Sutra", enter the Tao with martial arts, practice the body and cultivate the truth, and kill the ...... tough"
""Nine Essentials of Edgeworth", sword cultivation method, temper a mouthful of weather, practice to the extreme, and the sword flies!"
......
The two introduced them one by one.
Ye Zhou didn't move, and found that these methods were different, but they were all cherished goods, if they were placed in an era when the aura was sufficient, each exercise would be valuable, but now it is not worth mentioning.
No matter how good the exercises are, if they don't have aura, they are useless.
For example, the rarest of them is the "Recipe for Immortality", which contains Taoist meaning and mystical exercises, and it is said that you can soar to become an immortal in the end, and take the route of farming and cultivating immortals.
However, this exercise has a fatal flaw, which requires a large number of spiritual fields with abundant spiritual energy, preferably a human immortal land such as the Taoist Thirty-six Cave Heaven and Seventy-two Blessed Land.
But now even the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has dried up, let alone spiritual earth.
Although this exercise is good, it is only a painting cake, and Ye Zhou glanced away after sweeping it.
It was enough to practice the nine-character true formula, and the next thing he was looking for was the method of fighting.
Thinking of this, he took the copy of "Fu Dao True Solution".
This exercise tells how to draw talismans.
He also has the seven charms left by Zhao Xuan, which come from the Yuan Shi lineage, and the power is huge, which can be regarded as the unexpected joy of the previous Xianye Mountain Villa.
Drawing talismans requires blessings from the aura of heaven and earth, but Ye Zhou has a steady supply of sun and moon essences with orbs, maybe he can learn this spell to draw new talismans.
In the modern world, alchemy and refining weapons are too extravagant, only this talisman may be the most convenient way to fight, and the ability shown by Zhao Xuan before is also quite amazing.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Zhou chose the "Turtle and Snake Sutra", which is the method of Wudang Mountain to enter the Tao with martial arts.
It's just that unlike the modern national art of exercising strength, the cultivator uses the true element, not a kind of strength, but real energy.
Once punched, there is a vision between the punches and kicks, and the power is extraordinary.
......
"Ye Daoyou, have you chosen these two books?" are you sure?" asked Li Wen and Lu really eagerly.
Ye Zhou nodded.
The two of them immediately opened the jade bottle impatiently, only to see a small pool of gold and silver spiritual liquid, and the light flowed, making people dizzy.
"What kind of ichor is this?" they asked curiously, having never heard of the existence of such a liquid at all.
"This is the essence of the sun and the moon that has been passed down from my lineage, which is extremely pure, rich in the essence of the sun and the moon, which can cleanse the impurities of the body. But there is a sequelae, that is, when you take it, you will suffer from cold and heat, which is extremely painful!" Ye Zhou said lightly.
"I see!" Li Wen and Lu really didn't pay attention to the pain of taking the Sun and Moon Essence, they could feel the abundant aura contained in it, if they could refine it, maybe they could really refine the impurities of their True Yuan.
Seeing the two of them holding the small jade bottle and being surprised, Ye Zhou couldn't help but feel sad in his heart.
The cultivator used to fly in the sky with his sword, roaming between heaven and earth, how carefree, but now he has become so philistine because of twenty drops of sun and moon essence.
I have to say that surviving in this world of the end of the Dharma is really the greatest sorrow of a cultivator!
"Two fellow Daoists, you should be able to tell me about the Xiuzhen Conference now!" Ye Zhou asked, "The aura of heaven and earth has been depleted for a long time, why has no one organized it before, but it was initiated at this time, there should be a reason!"
Li Wen and Lu really glanced at each other, did not answer immediately, but looked mysterious, and talked about a topic that seemed to be unrelated.
"Ye Daoyou, do you know that Kunlun Longquan has dried up!"
