Su Yu's heart was stunned. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Although he had vaguely guessed that Zhang Yao showed a series of abilities beyond the comprehension of ordinary people, it was because of practice, but Zhang Yao didn't admit it in person, so he didn't dare to think about it. After all, the power of human cultivation is given by Gu Xing, and now that there is no Gu Xing in the world, how can she practice? Su Yu was shocked and puzzled, but he heard Zhang Yao ask again: "Do you know what the essence of cultivation is?"

Su Yu shook his head.

"When a person is born, he is bathed in the light of the stars, and the stars sow seeds in the human body and place them between the chest and abdomen, which is called the 'star house'. In other words, there is a small starry sky in your body, and life is just a microcosm of space, because there is this kind of sub, there is this starry sky, and people have all kinds of abilities. But they are asleep, they are fixed after you are born, and the practice is to absorb the starlight into your body, to awaken them, to let them grow, to give you more power, to break this innate and predestined framework. ”

Su Yu subconsciously looked down at his chest, but of course he didn't see anything. The so-called star house that holds the seeds of astral bodies must be an immaterial existence that cannot be seen or touched. He raised his head and asked, "So, cultivation is equivalent to strengthening the power of the stars in the human body to achieve some transcendent growth?"

"Hmm. ”

"For example, those who cultivate Mercury will be smart, and those who cultivate Venus will be beautiful?"

"That's roughly right, people who cultivate Mercury will have a more developed mind than ordinary people, and their reactions will be more agile and fast, and if a woman cultivates Venus, her appearance will also increase a lot, so there were many beauties before the Warring States period, which can be described as a disaster for the country and the people. ”

Xia died in Yuxi, Shang died in Daji, Western Zhou died in Baoxi, there are shadows of beauties behind the fall of the Three Dynasties, and there are four beauties in the Spring and Autumn Period, Mrs. Xi and Xia Ji are beautiful and the Three Kingdoms, Qi Wen and Jiang Yanse are in the two countries, and Xi Shi is in trouble with Wu Yue, these people can be regarded as the real allure of the country and the city, all of them are before the Warring States Period, no need to ask, it must depend on the power of cultivation.

This is really a wonderful theory, which opens up a kaleidoscopic vast space in front of Su Yu. He had countless thoughts in his heart for a while, and he was about to continue to ask, but he heard Zhang Yao's words turn around, and said: "However, this understanding is a bit one-sided. If you have studied astrology, you should know that each star carries many different laws, Mercury not only dominates the mind, but also dominates the movement, transmission and division of twins, Venus is not only beauty, it contains no less than a dozen laws such as charm, sharing, femininity, art, etc., everyone can only practice one of them, and most of the power obtained is in that specific direction. It is not so much that it is the stars that are cultivated, but that it is the laws that are cultivated, and the stars are only the medium of the laws. And the law is the origin of the evolution of all things in the universe, which is what Lao Tzu called the 'Tao'. ”

"The Tao is the Tao, the very Tao", the beginning of heaven and earth, the mother of all things. There seems to be nothing wrong with saying that "Tao" is the law. "Tao gives birth to one, life to two, two to three", is a source, the law of evolution? Su Yu only knew a little about this, and while he realized something in his heart, he always felt that something was wrong. The "monasticism" mentioned in books and TV doesn't seem to be like this.

He was wondering, Zhang Yao seemed to guess what he was thinking, and said again: "You must be very puzzled, why the practice I am talking about is so different from the practice that the Taoist priests say. Taoist priests cultivate the Dan method, absorb aura, refine yin and yang gods, and condense the primordial infant, instead of cultivating the stars and the laws of heaven and earth in the body, as I said. ”

Su Yu nodded.

Zhang Yao went on to say: "Because it's all fake, it's just a forced trick." Zhang Daoling, the founder of Taoism, also came from the Zhang family of Guigu. Before the death of the first generation of Guigu Immortal Master, there was a will asking me to pass on the secret lineage of Guigu and not publicize it, so as not to attract another catastrophe. However, Zhang Daoling blatantly violated the rules of the door and opened a sect outside, and the immortal master learned that it was too late to go out of the valley to be accountable, and Taoism had begun to take shape and could not be dissolved on the spot, so the immortal master had no choice but to order him to repair the false scriptures and spread the false law, so that Taoism looked no different from the general secular religion. In later generations, there were disciples who went out of the valley to practice, and they often took refuge in Taoism. Therefore, the cultivation of some famous Taoist priests in history is true, but the cultivation method taught is false, although it is the Tao, which has confused generation after generation. ”

Su Yu was dumbfounded when he heard this, and it was estimated that anyone who learned the true origin of this Taoism would have the same reaction. The place where the people of Guigumen practice, cultivating the true way, and preaching the pseudo-Dan method, has such an amazing insider!

Zhang Yao saw a look of surprise and confusion on Su Yu's face, and couldn't help but shake his head slightly: "This is the top secret of my ghost valley, whether you believe it or not, I can only stop here." In fact, the word 'cultivation' is a homonym for 'cultivating stars', cultivating stars is its first original meaning, and the second layer is practicing the mind, words, and deeds, so that the monks can fully comply with the laws of the stars, in order to truly merge the stars into the body, the unity of heaven and man, and even eventually become a star realm by itself, so that life can reach the eternal immortality of time and space. It's a pity that that realm is too far away, and even the first generation of Guigu Immortal Masters have not been able to reach it. ”

"To be an astral realm is to ...... Become a universe?" Su Yu suddenly remembered Xu Qingluo's words before leaving, mentioning that the universe is a life cloud, is there really such a thing?

"The astral realm is not necessarily the form of the universe, it is all a time and space, but it changes at will, and it is different. ”

"What if you can't reach that realm? Cultivators can't live forever?"

Zhang Yao sighed lightly: "It's not just that you can't live forever, no matter how powerful a cultivator is, he will only have a lifespan of two hundred years. ”

"Two hundred years...... , which is two or three times that of ordinary people. ”

"It's just a snap of a finger, and it's too short for those who are chasing the vast way of heaven. After a pause, Zhang Yao said again: "The immortal master was already close to that realm back then, and he could barely reincarnate into an independent small star realm, but at the cost of sacrificing himself. On the occasion of Amaterasu, most people did not expect such serious consequences, but the immortal master thought of it, he knew that the catastrophe was difficult to cross, and a monk with extremely high cultivation like him would not escape death after all, so he immediately made a decision to give up his life to turn into a small astral realm, so that his relatives and disciples took refuge in the small astral realm, and finally escaped. ”

Su Yu was dumbfounded: "Could it be that this is ......?"

"This is the Guigu lineage. That little astral realm is also called the Ghost Valley. Although the Gu Xing in the outside world is no longer there, the starry sky of the Ghost Valley is actually transformed by the ancestor Xingfu, and there is still a bright Gu Xing, and the children born there can conceive the seeds of the Gu Xing in their bodies, and they can still practice, and the cultivation must first absorb the starlight of the Gu Xing, so they can only grow in the valley. ”

"What an amazing place. Su Yu listened and listened, and couldn't help but yearn for it.

"Wonderful, but also dangerous. Zhang Yao glanced at Su Yu, "Because it was transformed by the ancestor in danger, and was disturbed by the Amaterasu of the Dark Wheel, the Ghost Valley is very small, only a few miles in radius, and it is very unstable. A maximum of nine people can enter at the same time, and one more will collapse. And the descendants of the first master of the Guigu Valley plus the descendants of the four disciples are gradually increasing, and it is impossible for everyone to live and cultivate in the Guigu Valley, so they have to move to the WTO, but it is inevitable that you will fight with each other and snatch the precious places for their respective families to practice in the valley. Therefore, in the eyes of the world, the disciples of Guigu are from the same door but have always been hostile to each other, first Sun Bin Pang Juan, then Su Qin and Zhang Yi, and then there are many generals who changed their names and surnames, they are all disciples of Guigu, all from the four families of Sun Pang Su and Zhang, known as the 'four surnames of Guigu'. ”

Su Yu suddenly realized that the most mysterious ghost valley in history was actually such a place. Sun Bin Pang Juan, Su Qin Zhang Yi, everyone knows that these Guigu disciples are killing each other, but no one knows that there is such a reason behind it! The four surnames of Guigu, Sun Pang Su Zhang, and the Su family...... Zhangjia...... , it turns out that these are all wealthy families in the Guigu lineage!

"I'm also a member of the Su family?" asked Su Yu.

"Yes. Zhang Yao said lightly, "You are not only the Su family, but also the cultivator selected by the Su family to enter the valley, commonly known as the 'guardian'. ”

"But," Su Yu said suspiciously, "The Su family is just my mother's family, and the quota for entering the valley is so precious, why should you choose me?"

"Because the Su family has encountered an unprecedented trough in cultivation in the past hundred years, only your mother has achieved success in cultivation. ”

“...... I don't quite understand. ”

"Well, since I've told you so much, I'll be clearer. This starts with the qualifications of the cultivators. Although the people who are pregnant with Gu Xing seeds in the Star Mansion can theoretically practice, the speed of absorbing Gu Xing's light varies, and most people are too slow, and there is only the possibility of theoretical cultivation, but in fact they are unable to practice. If you want to practice, the child must first be born in the valley, and after being born, you must cultivate in the valley until the age of nine, and the child's star mansion will mature at the age of nine, and then you will know what his cultivation qualifications are. If the qualifications are too low, so that the next person can be replaced to give birth to a child, this time it will be a waste of nine years of cultivation, but there is no other way. The Su family has a fixed quota in the valley, and in a hundred years, there have been eleven newborns in the valley, and ten in a row have been unable to practice, and in the end, your mother Su Mengxi has excellent qualifications, and she has barely continued the cultivation bloodline of the Su family, who can they choose if they don't choose you?"

Su Yu was stunned for a long time, and said slowly: "I understand." When my mother died, I was about to be born, and it was supposed to be the time to go into the valley to give birth to me. Did she die in the battle for a place in her cultivation?"

Zhang Yao shook his head: "It's not an ordinary competition. There are nine places in the valley, Mr. Guigu's family occupies three in the past dynasties, Sun Pang Su Zhang occupies one each, and the remaining two five families compete, the Su family has no spare strength to fight for these years, your quota is the fixed one, and other families can't compete for it. ”

"Why the hell?"

"Traitor. Zhang Yao spit out these two words in an aggravated tone, "According to this generation of Mr. Guigu, Su Mengxi and Pang Luoqiu of the Pang family suddenly attacked him before entering the valley, and Mr. Guigu must not kill the two of them, and out of the need for secrecy, he also killed Su Mengxi's husband and Pang Luoqiu's wife together, and then disguised as a tragedy of four people dying in a collision between two cars." ”

"This is impossible!" Su Yu hurriedly argued: "My mother is pregnant in October and is about to give birth, how can she fight with others? Even if the Su family wants to rebel, it is impossible to choose when the family is at its weakest!"

"So, everyone knows that this is just an excuse," Zhang Yao said lightly, "It's this generation of Mr. Guigu who has the intention to eliminate other families, he wants more cultivation positions, and it just so happens that the strength of the Su Pang family is weak, so he will start first." ”

Su Yu looked at Zhang Yao with grief and indignation: "My parents died unjustly and tragically, and the Su Pang family is out, so isn't your Zhang family a vested interest?"

"Yes. Zhang Yao affirmed his statement casually, "In the past sixteen years, we and the Sun family have each taken one more fixed place, and the Guigu Wang family has two more, and the three families are safe." But who knows when we will follow in the footsteps of the Su Pang family? We have no other way than to work harder to cultivate the clan and unite closely with the Sun family. ”

Su Yu asked again: "Isn't there something that the four families can restrain the Ghost Valley?"

"Naturally, there is, otherwise the Wang family would have dragged on until now, I'm afraid it would have been done a long time ago. Zhang Yao glanced at Su Yu deeply again, "I can only tell you so much." In fact, you are no longer a child of the Su family, just stay away from the ghost valley and be a mortal, why do you have to ask this? Even if you know that your parents died of injustice and hatred, what can you do, you are just an ordinary person, born outside the valley, there is no Gu Xing seed in your body, there is no possibility of cultivation, can you still avenge your parents?"

Su Yu lowered his head and was silent. This is the so-called cage of fate, right? This is one shocking secret after another, even if you know it? You are destined to be an ordinary person by nature, the path of cultivation has long been cut off, the grievances of your parents are far beyond your reach, and you can only be a lowly life forever, prostrate and bow down at the feet of those fairy-like characters.

Just, are you willing?

Su Yu quietly put his right hand into his trouser pocket, took out a knife to sharpen a pencil, and then hid his hand behind his back and carved it on the pillar against his back. He realized that Zhang Yao was about to erase his memory, but he still wanted to keep a little memory. There are some things he doesn't want to forget, some things he can't forget, even if it's out of reach for a lifetime, even if it's regretful and painful for a lifetime, but it's a memory that belongs to him, and he can't lose it.

For example, the symbol of Gu Xing and the existence of Ghost Valley, which is what Xu Qingluo has been looking for, and he has to tell her.

For example, he can not report the grievances and hatred of his parents, but he cannot forget them.

He saw Zhang Yao slowly stretch out her right hand, and there was a cyan flame swaying on her fingertips, and the flames were getting higher and higher, gradually enveloping her slender and jade hand, and then she gently flicked at the flame, and a cyan flame flew silently towards his eyebrows, accompanied by the girl's gentle words: "Forget it." ”

It was the last word he heard, and he only had time to carve a word before he fell unconscious.

The knife in his hand fell on the stone floor, making a crisp sound of "ding", and his body also slid down softly against the pillar, and fell to the ground, revealing a crooked word on the pillar, which could barely be made out by the dim light as the word "valley", the word "valley" written backwards.

Zhang Yao saw it. She frowned slightly, stepped closer, and reached out to erase the words, but halfway through she took it back. She looked down at Su Yu's face, which was a clean, delicate face, with a faint hint of unyielding intent between her eyebrows. She sighed, walked down the gazebo, and drifted away.

If you don't want to forget, if you can remember, then accept the torture of fate.
