Chapter 17: The Awakening of the World

readx;? For a long time, the bright lantern monk has given people the impression of being very low-key, and he is not visible in the team on weekdays, and rarely expresses his opinion when he encounters things. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoIf it weren't for his great power when the bats attacked last night, everyone would have almost forgotten about this existence.

However, Zhou Fanghe never dared to slack off on Minglan, only he knew that this operation was nominally responsible for himself, but in fact it was Wuxiangzong who really presided over the overall situation. The three monks in front of him are not only the highest in the crowd, but also the characters who really control the right to speak in the team. And this lamp monk, who is described as handsome as a man among the gods, is the head of the three monks.

The six major factions in Hedong are Wuxiangzong, Xiaohanshan, Yangquan Sect, Suwenzhai, Qinghe Sword Sect and Firmament Sect, and the one who holds the bull's ear is the Wuxiangzong. The status is equivalent to Shaolin Wudang in martial arts novels, and the so-called Taishan Beidou is also.

The three monks of the Ming generation came on behalf of the Wuxiang Sect, not only to play the role of thugs, but also to really determine the behavior of the team. It's just that the three monks are impatient with secular affairs, so they entrust Zhou Fanghe to take care of it. As for the disciples from other sects, they were originally playing soy sauce and making some profits, after all, Yunwuze belonged to not only one family, but an industry shared by the six major sects. The six major factions are in the same breath with each other, and the benefits are naturally shared.

This arrangement has long been a common practice. As Zhang Xun said earlier, the trip to Yunwuze every three years is actually a trial journey for the six major sects to cultivate disciples. In previous years, the Wuxiang Sect was always led by Zen Master Pujing, leading a group of three generations of disciples over. This time, due to the special situation, the second generation of Mingzi monks was sent to act as the main force. As for the other people involved in the action, they were all cultivators with backgrounds in Hedong and were inextricably linked with the six major sects. It is precisely through the regular opening of the resources of Yunwuze that the Wuxiang Sect firmly controls the cultivation world of the entire Hedong Province, and truly realizes the words and the law, and responds to every call.

It's just that this trial journey is completely different from any previous one, and it is strange from the beginning. Originally, for the people of the six major factions, Yunwuze was like a farm opened by them, and the treasures and spiritual beings in it were just lambs raised in captivity to be slaughtered. However, this time, the lamb, which had been docile in previous years, suddenly changed its face, its minions loomed, and its fierce face was revealed, saying no to the six major factions that kept them in captivity.

"The awakening of Haotian's consciousness—" Monk Minglan said faintly, and no emotion could be heard in his voice: "The ancestor had expected that there would be an awakening day in this cloud and mist after all, but he didn't expect that this day would come so quickly. ”

Any world, from birth to growth, is a long and immeasurable process. From the Hongmeng opened up by heaven and earth to the wilderness of species evolution, the process in this process often takes millions of years. It was not until the derivation of civilization that it truly marked the maturity of a world.

There are countless creatures in the clouds, but they have not produced such a civilized species as humans. In the world of cultivation, such a world is still so-called wilderness, and the world consciousness is also in an uncivilized chaos. Haotian is gradually condensing, although there is always a time to mature, but this stage will be unusually long. For the Wuxiang Sect, of course, they don't want this day to come. Once the world has a consciousness of its own, it will see all outsiders as beasts of prey. It acts like the body's immune system, blasting foreign invaders into slag as if they were viruses.

Since entering the clouds, like Qiu Zhe, the monk of the bright lantern has also felt a different atmosphere from the past. Everywhere he went, he could sense the looming hostility lurking in the shadows, and the trial journey that he had expected to be as easy and comfortable as the past was also overshadowed by the successive deaths. Everyone's mood is like a roller coaster, when they first arrive, they are as comfortable and relaxed as a vacation, and gradually become gloomy and heavy. Thinking of this, even the bright light monk couldn't help but sigh.

"This cloudy world has condensed its own Haotian consciousness, and in the future, I am afraid that we will no longer be able to come and leave as we wanted as in the past. I'm afraid I'm going to give up this secret place. The monk said in a deep voice, and the expression on his face could not see joy or sorrow. It's just that as soon as he said this, it was tantamount to approving the statement of Zhou Fanghe and others, and it also meant the loss of dominance over Yunwuze. Gone are the good times when the six major factions wanted to harvest the resources in the clouds and mist at will, as they did in the past, and grow one stubble after another like leeks.

Ming Fa and Ming Ku looked depressed, although the secret realm controlled by the Wuxiang Sect was far more than Yunwuze, but for any cultivation sect, no one would have too much such an existence as the secret realm.

"Then after tonight, we will leave for the return trip?" Zhou Fanghe asked tentatively, he really didn't have the confidence to go further, everyone knew that the deeper he went, the greater the danger, and the cultivators loved their lives the most, and they would never take risks if they didn't have to.

Although in today's world, the path of cultivation is becoming more and more difficult, and the path to becoming an immortal is already an unattainable legend. Like Zhou Fanghe, a qi refiner who can touch the threshold of refining qi and transforming the gods, he is already a master, and his status in the folk is similar to that of Zhang Xun, and he is known as a "living immortal". It's just that the parties themselves know best, compared with those legendary predecessors, their own little bit of Taoism is like the light of a grain of rice, and they dare not compete with the sun and the moon. With Zhou Fanghe's current cultivation, at most, his lifespan is only one hundred and fifty years, and he will inevitably turn into a handful of loess after all.

It's just that human beings are like this, and it is precisely because they have experienced the beauty of life that they will be more attached to the red dust and afraid of death. Not only does it have a lifespan beyond the ordinary, but it also has power and wealth that ordinary people can't reach. For people like Zhou Fanghe, they know that there is little hope of breaking through to a higher realm, but as long as they can live one more day, they will have one more hope.

Hearing Zhou Fanghe's inquiry, Monk Mingdeng looked at him deeply, and his eyes were like an abyss without sight. Zhou Fanghe's heart jumped when he saw this, and he didn't know if the other party had insight into his mind. Before he could say anything, the bright light monk gently spit out the word "may", closed his eyes, and said no more extra words.

Zhou Fanghe breathed a sigh of relief, a big stone fell to the ground in his heart, said goodbye, and got up to find Shi Sheng, planning to discuss with him the arrangements for tomorrow's return. This cloud is full of smoke all day long, I don't know how many demon beasts are hidden, and now it is even more dangerous, if there is no guide to guide it, it is really difficult.
