Chapter 14: The Temple of the Aqueduct
Jiang Lin entered the aqueduct tower, but came to a void space, and he couldn't even feel his body. Jiang Lin thought about it for a long time, and then he remembered that he was here to practice, and he remembered the spell he was learning.
This void space suddenly turned into an ocean, and Jianglin became one of the drops. Surrounded by brothers and sisters like him, some happy, some sad, but making the same noise. Jiang Lin followed carefree and ran along, running to the top of the wave and then rowing down. It didn't fall completely, and was pushed higher again.
It rose and fell like this, Jiang Lin followed and ran for a long time, and suddenly the front seemed to be hindered. Countless droplets of water in front of him were bounced into the air and then slashed behind him. Jiang Lin was pushed and directly bumped forward, where it seemed to have been hit thousands of times, fitting and comfortable, there was a feeling of going home and returning to the roots. didn't wait for Jiang Lin to be nostalgic, but he was immediately squeezed out and pushed into the air. Jiang Lin felt that he felt lighter and bigger, and slowly floated into the sky.
Jiang Lin fluttered with the wind, and I don't know how long I was drifting back and forth, but I felt that the surroundings were getting more and more crowded, and I was getting smaller and smaller, and I was getting heavier and heavier.
Opening his eyes, Jiang Lin found himself standing in front of the door of the Aqueduct Tower, without any other figures around. Jiang Lin reacted for a long time before he slowly woke up from his slow thinking.
Jiang Lin carefully sensed the spiritual power in his body, full of agility, and the Buddha himself was a part of it, and he could integrate into it at any time. Comparing the images seen in the Image Temple, the cultivation level of spiritual power has just begun.
It seems that there is still some way to go for the spell of dripping water through stones, Jiang Lin sighed in his heart. In the ten days of the Aqueduct Tower, he only allowed himself to comprehend the water system to such a level, and the control of the aura was far from meeting the requirements. It's no wonder that the time in and out of the aqueduct tower can be cumulative, and the longer you enter the aqueduct tower, the better the effect!
Jiang Lin immediately began to get excited again, he should really be about to get started. His body qi and spirit have improved significantly, and he has a preliminary understanding of the perception of the water system. Jiang Lin finally began to understand the meaning of cultivation, and also began to understand why saying that magic is a means and comprehension is the foundation. Only in the practice of spells can one understand the true meaning of the water system. Jiang Lin couldn't understand the meaning of dripping water through stones, but if he wanted to cultivate, he could only move forward step by step. I finally understood why the division of the realm of cultivation was so vague. Each person's realm can only be understood by themselves. Spells are only a manifestation of cultivation, and they are also a means to obtain opportunities, but they are not absolute. Maybe only life is really the foundation, and is everyone's pursuit of immortality also a pursuit of eternal life?
Jiang Lin returned to his courtyard like flowing water and began his retreat practice. Integrate your own thinking with the spiritual power in your body, and feel that you are a point in that spiritual power. The mind began to slow down, drifting, not knowing where to go, and could only go with the flow.
I don't know how long it took, Jiang Lin was woken up by the voice of the little senior sister. When I came to the courtyard, I saw some ashes falling from a high place. This should be a contact charm, I don't know what will happen if I am not here? Jiang Lin waited outside the courtyard and did not go back, but it was because the little senior sister said that she would come over later.
Jiang Lin sensed his state and found that there was not much progress, only that his physical and spiritual strength were more agile than before the retreat.
It was still a long time before the figure of the little senior sister slowly appeared.
"Why don't you call me back, thinking you're not there? Didn't you go to the Water Storage Hall to exchange some contact charms?" asked the little senior sister first.
"Here, no one told me that you can exchange for a contact charm over there?"
"Then, take it, and go to the water storage hall more often in the future, there will be some surprises. The little sister handed over a stack of ten contact charms.
"It's just a general contact character, and one contribution is worth ten cards. It can only be passed on to people you are familiar with within a certain range, and if you are out of range or unfamiliar, you will not be able to pass it on and waste a talisman. That's what I gave you earlier. β
"What I just sent is called a transmission note, and you can type the voice in advance, so you have to know the exact location. One contribution is worth five, of course, within a certain period of time when I send you a transmission note or contact note, even if you don't know the location, you can also send back the note. β
"Then what if I'm not here?" Jiang Lin asked.
"If you're not there, of course you won't be able to send out the contact letter. But the note came out, and you didn't receive it. Of course, you can also send the contact note first, and then the transmission note. β
"Are there only two kinds of spirit runes?"
"Of course not, a new talisman has recently come out, called the Thousand Miles Transmission Note, and ten points of contribution are worth one. But that would have to be done for both of them to leave their breath in their respective runes and exchange them with each other. β
"That's too expensive, and the range of use is so small. If you have many friends, one person can die," Jiang Lin shook his head and said he couldn't accept it.
"It's going to be cheap, everything that comes out is going to be improved. When the contact note first came out, the range of use was smaller, and the price was more expensive than the Qianli Transmission note. The three sects of Dan, Fu, and Qi are now developing faster and faster, but after all, they are not the right path, so there is no need to delve into it, it is still necessary to deepen their own cultivation of the system. β
"What Senior Sister said is, I don't know if Senior Sister is coming here this time?" Jiang Lin felt that he was about to be dizzy, and asked directly.
"Today is the first day of the ninth lunar month, and there is a senior brother Zhao of the Water Sect who is explaining spells in the demonstration hall, come with me to take a look. The little senior sister obviously remembered the matter.
"The little senior sister directly transmitted the voice and asked the junior brother to go to the demonstration hall, and also ran it in person. Jiang Lin was a little upset in his heart.
Half a year has passed, and the harvest of this half year is not as much as the harvest of the aqueduct tower in ten days. It seems that Senior Brother Wang is right, there is indeed a lot more promising in the mountains than under the mountains. This also made Jiang Lin understand why it depends on luck to meet people outside. In the past six months, Jiang Lin has only been outside for a few hours.
"What nonsense, if you don't come after the transmission, you don't want to come here. The little senior sister said categorically.
Jiang Lin came to the demonstration hall with the little senior sister, the hall was already full of people, and it was noisy, obviously the demonstration had not yet started. This is the first time Jiang Lin has seen so many people in the past few years, there must be hundreds of thousands of people.
"Hello, Senior Sister Liu. Senior Brother Jiang, I didn't know that you were an official disciple of Liu Dao Chang last time, please forgive me" After Senior Brother Zhao found Jiang Lin, he came forward to say hello. The little senior sister just nodded coldly.
"Senior Brother Zhao is polite, thank you Senior Brother Zhao for explaining last time. The junior brother has just gone up the mountain, and he still needs to ask for more advice in the future. β
"It should be, don't be polite if you have something to do. β
Many people in the demonstration hall stepped forward to greet the little senior sister, and the little senior sister just nodded coldly, but she didn't introduce Jiang Lin, just walked forward with Jiang Lin.
But I didn't find that the little senior sister was so cold. Jiang Lin said secretly in his heart, but he was a little flattered by the previous treatment.
"Hello Sister Liu, Senior Brother Jiang is also here. "But it was Senior Brother He, who had met once, who came to say hello.
"Senior Brother He is back so soon, I wonder what the harvest is this time?" the little senior sister finally stopped and replied.
"I didn't get anything, I didn't even get in. Come back and discuss, bring more people. β
"Oh, it's still a high-ranking man's cave. The little senior sister began to be a little interested, "What is the reason why you can't get in?
"There is no formation, it seems to be a prohibition formed by the origin of the soil, next time I go, I will invite a few senior brothers of the soil sect to go. β
"Soil?" The little senior sister lost interest and continued to walk forward with Jiang Lin.
"Little Senior Sister, are there a lot of caves left over from the predecessors under the mountain?"
"Well, the management of the sect is very loose, and it only sets up stations in various parts of Zhongzhou to collect disciples. All families and tribes will also send outstanding disciples to the mountains to study, and there are countless people who are born poor and have been tested to have cultivation qualifications. The only requirement of the sect for disciples who go up the mountain is to complete the foundation building before the age of ten. The disciples who went up the mountain, after they have learned something, will only a very small part of them stay in the sect, and most of them will go down the mountain. Therefore, there are still many hidden caves and secret realms outside, but they are limited to the different qualifications of each person, and the quality is uneven. β
"That sect is so powerful, why don't you strengthen management and rule the entire continent?" Jiang Lin never understood the sect's education methods.
"This is the fundamental reason why the sect can always stand on the Zhongzhou Continent. No family or tribe would be an enemy of such a sect, and those families and tribes would not be interested in the resources that flowed up the mountain. The one on the mountain is the one of the whole Zhongzhou continent, and if you are the enemy of the sect, you are the enemy of the entire continent. β
Jiang Lin nodded to show that he understood, the system that has been passed down from generation to generation really has a reason for its existence. It is not so much a sect as it is an academy, the highest institution of learning in the entire Zhongzhou Continent.
"Can you really understand?" the little sister was a little surprised.
"Of course" Jiang Lin was proud in his heart, not only can I understand, but I also know how to make it better, but it's also good like this. Jiang Lin suddenly remembered that the little senior sister had never introduced other senior brothers and sisters to him. I think it's for this reason that the relationship between senior sister and brother is just that of senior sister and younger brother. It is even possible that the little senior sister herself has never seen several senior brothers and sisters. The so-called formal disciples are just the proud protΓ©gΓ©s taught by the professor.
"Senior sister, what is the difference between that formation and prohibition" Jiang Lin asked a question.
"The formation is a new sect, and the ban has existed since ancient times, and the ban is arranged by everyone according to their own creation, combining the spells they know. The prohibition on the formation of the origin of the soil just mentioned is not the prohibition formed by the origin of the soil material, but the prohibition arranged by the predecessors who have reached the level of comprehension of the origin of the soil system. The origin of the soil is only when the comprehension of the soil attribute is close to perfection, and there is a trace of possibility left after the end of life. It is a truth to leave relics with enlightened monks. Of course, there is an origin in the world, but not all of them are left by their predecessors. β
The little senior sister obviously explained the origin of the soil to Jiang Lin in detail because of the relationship between the soil.
