Chapter 2 The Bronze Wall
Approaching the twilight, Jiufang Xi suddenly exhaled a breath of turbidity, refreshed, as if he had left all his troubles behind.
He hasn't had such peace for a long time, but half a month seems to have passed for many years, and people are tired, and their hearts are tired.
Di Jiang spoke out at the right time, and his tone was extraordinary: "The master is really extraordinary, he can comprehend the qi of the five elements in three hours, and condense it into qi in the body, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a genius who has never been encountered in a hundred lifetimes!"
Listening to Di Jiang's praise, Jiufang Xi smiled humbly: "Where is there such an exaggeration?
At this time, Di Jiang can be regarded as a teacher who knows everything, with no reservations between his words, patience and meticulousness.
"If a sorcerer wants to use the power of heaven and earth to achieve his own goals, whether to call the wind and rain, or to travel thousands of miles, or to resurrect the corpse, there is always a medium to convey the will of the sorcerer himself, which is called aura in witchcraft. Reiki is the natural qi condensed in the body by the wizard himself through comprehension, cultivation, and perception, and this process is called condensation. β
"Reiki is different from the vitality of Taoism, the Buddha qi of Buddhism, and even different from demonic qi and demonic energy, or it can even be directly interpreted as natural qi. A sorcerer is only a user of the qi of nature, not a creator, and no matter the Buddha or the demon, they will become their own unique means through various means, even if the breath of father and son, master and apprentice is not the same. But the aura is unified, so the Buddha, Dao, and demons have a hierarchy when cultivating, to judge the strength of the cultivator, only the wizard is different, there is no hierarchy, or only the big witch and the small witch. And this distinction is not defined by people, but refers to the encounter between two wizards, and the wizard who has not cultivated enough will naturally have a sense of worship for the wizard who has cultivated profoundly, such as meeting a god. There is a saying in the world that the small witch sees the big witch, the small witch cultivates low, the big witch cultivates high, the small witch sees the big witch, and the little witch can't use spells. Therefore, in ancient times, the highest cultivator was like a god among the tribes, because the god in the eyes of people in ancient times was the water, fire, thunder and lightning in nature, and the person who can manipulate such miracles is the greatest god. β
Jiufang Xi was shocked when he heard this, as if he had come to another world, and many truths that he only thought were born had a certain explanation. There is no reason for the world, only the way it is.
Di Jiang paused, his tone relaxed a little, and said: "Now that you have been able to condense your qi, it means that you can use witchcraft, but it is still preliminary, so it is better to be careful." β
In this way, after two days of continuous travel, Tianma was tired, and Jiufang Xi appeared in front of a bronze wall that did not know what to start and end.
In the distance, you can still see a few low mountains, and the grass and trees are dense nearby, but there are no trees taller than people, but they are a little barren. There was no one around, as if even birds and beasts never approached here, except for the sound of the wind blowing the grass.
Jiufang Xi stroked his hair that was blown by the wind, and looked up at the bronze city wall, which was dozens of zhang high, without any traces of connection or construction, and there were some unknown pictures and texts on the surface, but he felt extremely simple, looking at it, as if he was about to fall in. There are peacock green patinas that are spread in large chunks, like an oasis in the desert, and there are a few ferns growing on the patina, telling the length of the years.
"This is the circle of the gods...... Jiufang Xi squinted his eyes and looked at it, his heart was shocked, this bronze wall seemed to be here, it was a product of heaven and earth, and it was impossible for people to build such miracles. Even if it took nearly a hundred years to build the border city of Wanli, it is only ten thousand miles long, and how can it be compared with here after guarding the imperial city of Leling?
"Master, go a little further ahead, it should be there, there is a gap, from where we can enter. Dijiang said.
Jiufang Xi nodded, led Tianma, and walked over.
He put his hand on the bronze wall, wanting to touch this solemn and ancient miracle, but when he touched it, there was a sharp pain. At the same time, Di Jiang hurriedly shouted: "No!"
Eating the pain, Jiufang Xi hurriedly withdrew his hand, and when he saw it, his fingers had lost a layer of skin, and the flesh and blood were blurred.
He frowned at the place he had just touched, and his own flesh was still stained on it. This scene is very strange, as if someone grabbed a frozen iron rod with his hand and couldn't take it off, and when he pulled it hard, the flesh in his palm stuck to the iron rod.
"The circle of gods and mortals must not be touched, otherwise they will be devoured by this bronze, and there will be no bones left. It seems to be extremely cruel, but this is also to protect the world inside and outside the circle from interference, and they dare not touch it if they suffer from pain. Dijiang said.
Jiu Fangxi nodded, took out the trauma medicine from the storage ring, and smeared some on his fingers.
These injuries were nothing, and he seemed to have a great immunity to pain now. In the past, he was only afraid that he would sweat profusely because of his weak body, but now, he frowned tightly.
After walking along the bronze wall for about half an hour, I finally saw a crack three people high. This crack was really nothing to worry about the entire circle of gods, but it looked a little higher than a house.
Jiufang Xi looked at the crack, he thought that he would see a tunnel or culvert, such a large wall, the thickness must be considerable. But this is not the case, he only sees that there is nothing in itβthere is really nothing, as if there is no sound or color, just like the white world when Jiang Hui appeared.
"Master, go in, inside is Yaodu. Di Jiang's voice sounded in Jiufang Xi's mind.
Jiufang stood stunned, his hand holding the reins was slippery and greasy, and his palms were already full of sweat.
"You say, if I enter this gap, won't I be able to go back to the past?" Jiufang muttered, not knowing whether he was asking himself or Di Jiang.
Di Jiang paused for a long time before answering: "Everyone's every moment is different, this is time." β
"You're talking about...... It's just that...... Until now, I'm in a trance, it's all like a dream. Jiufang Xi put his hand into the crack and grabbed it, but he didn't catch anything, and his heart was empty.
This time, Di Jiang did not speak.
"Ha, it's useless to think about this, isn't it?I have too many things on me, where can I have time to think about these things that I don't have......" Jiufang Xi laughed at himself, and led Tianma into the crack resolutely.
There's really nothing here, and you can't even feel the direction.
Perhaps sensing Jiufang Xi's slight panic, Di Jiang comforted: "Maybe master, you are more suitable for the world outside the circle of gods and mortals, you will like it there." β
"Really?"
Jiufang Xi was talking, his eyes suddenly lit up, as if someone had suddenly lifted his hijab, and before he could see it clearly, a clear but fragrant breath came to the waterfall, as if he was in the middle of the mountains and rivers.
When I came back to my senses, I just felt that I was ...... It doesn't seem to be much different.
It's still a house like this, only bigger and more refined. There are also restaurants and stalls selling wontons, but they look cleaner. The biggest difference may be the people here, everyone is very good-looking, the women are like pink skin, the body is well-proportioned, the men have clean faces, warm and pleasant, even the elderly and children, they look unusually healthy.
Jiufang Xi's arrival didn't seem to cause anything here, as if he was here.
"Here it is...... Yaodu?" Even Jiufang Xi himself was a little suspicious, isn't it the realm of gods and mortals that separates immortals and mortals? Shouldn't this place be like Yunxing Palace?
"How can there be so many immortals in the world?" Maybe it was because of this place, Di Jiang was in a very good mood, "Even if you are a cultivator, even Yunxing Palace has to pick one out of a hundred miles, let alone other places? β
Jiufang Xi nodded as if he didn't understand.
"The population outside the circle of gods is much smaller, the area is also more vast, and more attention is paid to the protection and use of nature, so the natural qi here is more pure, even if you cultivate in the bazaar here, it is several times faster than the cultivation outside. β
Jiufang Xi sensed carefully, and it was true, when he took a breath and came in, the power of the five elements in his body quickly came alive, and even condensed a lot of aura in his body.
"Master, let's find an inn to settle down in. Dijiang said.
Jiufang Xi nodded, found a nearby inn, and asked for a room. Fortunately, although the place is different, the inn here still charges money.
After three days of hurrying, Jiufang Xi was covered in dust, took a bath with hot water, ate some hot food, and was in good spirits.
"Dijiang, look, is this right?"
Jiufang Xi was very excited when he looked at the bean-sized flame on his fingertips, there was no firewood, no flint, he felt that this was amazing. Even if he had seen the ability of the twelve fierce beasts, even if he had gone to the Yunxing Palace and seen a lot of people flying around, it was still extremely novel, this was the first time he had used his own ability to cast a spell.
Dijiang is happy, and he said yes again and again.
After carefully practicing the spell for a while, and rehearsing the bean-sized flame like a fireball the size of a baby's head, he was satisfied.
Jiufang Xi was immersed in spells in the guest room for three days, and then he thought about going out to see this new world.
As soon as I opened the door, I was hit by a fist.
Jiufang Xi tilted his head back, although he was not hit in the eye, he was still hit in the chin, and the force was so great that he took two or three steps back.
"Who is it?" Jiufang shook his head and put on a hostile posture.
"Huh, why are you?" a woman at the door frowned, her expression was a little panicked, but her tone became more arrogant: "Why are you here?
Jiufang Xi frowned, not knowing why.
The woman didn't care about Jiufang's permission, kicked open the half-open door and broke in, turned around and didn't see anyone else, frowned and scolded and left.
Jiufang Xi rubbed his chin, quite helpless, is this a good start?
