Yan Bingbai led Zong Xiu through the alley, to an uninhabited dilapidated courtyard, knocked on an inconspicuous corner, and then revealed a secret passage.

Yan Bingbai was the first to enter, and Zong Xiu followed, this appearance without half a moment of hesitation couldn't help but surprise Yan Bingbai, if it was him, he would definitely not be able to be so calm with strangers to a strange place.

Is it the trust in his vice-president, or is it that in the eyes of this ghost worship, he does not pose any threat at all?

Yan Bingbai thought a little self-deprecatingly, probably the latter, right?

After half an hour's actions, the secret passage came to an end, Yan Bingbai pressed the machine, and the stone slab that closed the secret passage slowly opened, and he climbed the stairs and went outside.

Zong Xiu also came out, looked around, and saw that there were many palaces on the side, with red walls and yellow tiles, and under the reflection of the setting sun, it looked even more brilliant.

Zong Xiu asked, "This is the Tang Imperial Palace?"

Yan Bingbai nodded and said, "Before I arrived at the inner palace, it was on the east side of the outer hall of the palace, and the inner hall of the worship hall was here. ”

"Worship the inner hall?"

The inner hall of the worship hall was originally one of the core components of the Tang Dynasty worship hall, and only the children of the royal family could be selected, but because of this rule, hundreds of years have passed, and there are fewer and fewer talented royal families, and now they have long become unworthy of the name, and they are far behind the outer hall.

These Zong Xiu know, what makes Zong Xiu strange is that he has always guessed that Li Jin mentioned in Zong Ziyu's mouth found someone to contain the head of the outer hall, and at that time he thought that the biggest possibility was that Li Jin's master came again, but he didn't expect that it was not from the master sect, but in the inner hall.

Zong Xiu and Yan Bingbai walked together, through a corridor, to a cold palace courtyard, where a few locust trees were planted, it was late autumn, the wind blew the leaves, and no one was on duty, the ground was covered with a thick layer, stepping past, making a noise.

Zong Xiu chuckled, "It's quiet here. ”

Yan Bingbai sighed and said, "It was originally a prosperous place, but now it is a cold palace. ”

"Isn't the inner hall already in decline, and Deputy Head Yan has also seen the time when it was prosperous?"

Before Yan Bingbai could speak, he heard an old voice coming: "I'll answer this matter!"

Zong Xiu followed the prestige, only to see the vermilion wooden door of the innermost room open with a "squeak", revealing the figure of an old man inside, and he arched his hand to Zong Xiu: "It's a ghost worship, right? Please come in and talk." ”

Zong Xiu's eyes narrowed slightly, this is another monk of the Ning Yuan Realm, but unlike the unpredictable aura of the outer hall, this old man's cultivation is undoubtedly revealed, and it is very certain.

Zong Xiu walked up, while Yan Bingbai stood in place, bowed and saluted: "Palm hall." ”

The old man raised his hand and said, "Go and do your thing." ”

Yan Bingbai responded, and said to Zong Xiu: "Ghost worship, I will deal with the affairs of the clan now, don't worry about ghost worship." ”

Zong Xiu nodded, and Yan Bingbai had already turned around and walked out.

The room was very spacious, but the furnishings were extremely simple, except for some necessary furnishings, there was nothing else to expect, and there was no luxury in the palace at all.

The old man found a chair to sit down, and asked Zong Xiu to sit next to him, he adjusted a comfortable posture on the chair, and then said: "Don't blame the ghost friends, when people are old, they will not be used." ”

Zong Xiu laughed and said, "Where are you old, don't you still have the ambition to do a big thing?"

The old man laughed too, his dry skin cracking open like an old tree, and he laughed, "I can't compare to you young people! If I don't do anything, I should be buried in the ground, and I can't do it later." ”

Zong Xiu didn't speak, he didn't pay attention at first, but now he could feel the thick death aura emanating from this old man's body, which was the expression of the death of life and the imminent longevity, even stronger than what Zong Xiu felt from his master Nan Jian.

This old man should not have a few years to live.

Zong Xiu was silent, but the old man suddenly clapped his hands apologetically and said, "It's really old and confused, it's been so long, I forgot to introduce myself." The old man Li Desui was added to the hall of worship. ”

This identity is not much surprising, but Zong Xiu's face suddenly showed a trace of surprise, and he said loudly: "You are not Ning Yuan Realm?"

Li Desui's eyes opened slightly, and a glimmer of light appeared in his cloudy eyes, and he said: "I am Ning Yuan Realm, but I am not, but the ghost worship can see the difference, you are the real Ning Yuan Realm monk!"

Zong Xiu didn't deny it, and there was no need, he only cared about what he was interested in: "The Ning Yuan Realm and the Qi Induction Realm are like the difference between heaven and earth, how does the palm hall achieve a slight difference?"

Then he added: "If you can't say it, forget it." ”

Li Desui waved his hand and said, "Naturally, there is nothing that cannot be said, in fact, this is not a big secret, many people know it." ”

He also said: "Do ghosts worship the five sects of Zhiluoxia?"

Zong Xiu nodded, and when Li Desui saw this, he continued: "Our Emperor Taizu of the Tang Kingdom was originally a disciple of the Luoyun Sect, the head of the Luoxia Five Sects, because of his contributions to the sect, in addition to being able to give an immortal introduction order, he could also pick a magic recipe to take away, and Emperor Taizu finally chose a small five elements recipe from a bunch of advanced magic recipes. ”

Zong Xiu muttered: "Little Five Elements Trick?"

Li Desui explained: "This is when the Five Elements Sect first began to rise, there was a senior in the sect who studied the method recorded by the Five Elements Sect, but this method was too extreme, and in the end, not many people were willing to practice. ”

Li Desui said slowly: "The cultivation pays attention to the harmony of the five elements, but the Five Elements Sect is extreme, specializing in one line, so although the progress in the early stage is rapid, it is extremely difficult to form a Dan, not only the Dan, but also Ning Yuan is also quite a lot of obstacles. However, the Five Elements Sect also came up with a solution, and that was the False Dan Realm and the False Yuan Realm. ”

"Huh?"

"This is a simplified way of knotting the Dan or condensing the element, not seeking the integration and understanding between heaven and earth, but only trying to promote the qualitative change of the aura in the body similar to the knot or condensation. Therefore, the final result is plausible, although the strength of spiritual power is almost the same as that of the real breakthrough, but the change of supernatural power is much worse, and after entering the False Dan Realm or the False Yuan Realm, the path of cultivation has come to an end. ”

Zong Xiu understood the meaning and said, "That is to say, the False Yuan Realm cannot continue to cultivate all the way from the early stage to the middle stage and then to the late stage like the real Condensing Yuan Realm, so if you want to cultivate to the False Dan Realm, you must truly succeed in Condensing Yuan." ”

Li Desui nodded and said: "This is also a choice, if you feel that Ning Yuan has little hope, then directly use the method of fake yuan, so as not to lose the spirit stone and pill in vain, and in terms of combat power, the fake yuan realm and the early stage of Ning Yuan realm are also roughly close." It's just that after all, it's not the real Condensing Yuan Realm, in addition to the inability to practice all kinds of Condensing Yuan Realm's supernatural powers, the lifespan has not increased much, like I just passed the 110th birthday, and my time is running out. ”

Zong Xiu thought of another question, so he said, "The Outer Hall Leader Hall Bloody Clothes Marquis is also a fake Yuan Realm?"

Li Desui nodded at first, then shook his head again, and said, "It should have been, but now, I can't be sure." ”
