Chapter 2: The Current Situation in the Cultivation Realm
Tao Liran had already repaired a book after casting a spell on Tan Tian to restore his soul, informing Yu Tuo of the situation, and saying that he must find Lu Zhan. Yu Tuo's face was heavy after receiving the letter, and he pinched his fingers to count, Lu Zhan was really not dead, so he put his heart down, but he was ashamed that his old friend and beloved disciple Tan Tian was seriously injured and lost the treasure Yi Feng Sword, and replied that he would come in mid-July to discuss the matter.
After nearly 20 days of continuous recuperation, Tan Tian was already able to walk on the ground. Early in the morning, Yu Rui gave him a basin of water and asked Tan Tian to wash his face. Tan Tian washed it, and was about to hold the water and wash it again, but he stayed there, the man in the water was really himself, he couldn't believe it, and hurriedly said: "Senior brother, senior brother, is there a mirror, I want to look in the mirror." ”
Yu Rui said: "Mirror, of course." After that, he turned around to look for the mirror, thinking in his heart: What is wrong with this junior brother, although he is handsome, I haven't seen him care so much about his appearance before.
Yu Rui helped Tan Tian find a small copper mirror covered with dust, Tan Tian received it and thought that no one had used this broken mirror for a long time, so he wiped off some dust with his hands, so that the copper mirror looked much better, Tan Tian took the bronze mirror, carefully looked at his appearance, and felt a burst of joy in his heart: This Tan Tian is too handsome, with exquisite facial features, eyes that are not big or small, double eyelids, straight nose bridge, and eyebrows are two "ones" The font shape, the mouth shape is also straight, plus a pair of children's smart ears, handsome simply, hey, if you look like this before, and you haven't found a girlfriend in three years of college?
Yu Rui saw that Tan Tian was so excited, and said dissatisfiedly: "Senior brother, you weren't like this before, you were handsome but never showy. Why are you so greedy for your appearance today, and now you are at a juncture, and a lot of things have come together. You've got to lift your spirits, and there's a lot of stuff you have to deal with. ”
Tan Tian then suppressed his expression and said, "You don't know, I didn't look ......good before" He originally wanted to say that he didn't look good before, but quickly changed his words: "...... I'm not fat, but now I'm happy to see that I'm a little fatter. ”
Yu Rui said: "You are a fat fart, you used to be like this." In fact, Yu Rui didn't think about it carefully, now that Tan Tian has amnesia, how does he know if he was fat or thin before. Tan Tian found that Senior Brother didn't pay attention to the loophole in his words, so he hurriedly said, "Senior Brother, let's go, let's go to dinner." It's been you cooking for the past two days, and it's delicious. ”
Yu Rui was very happy when he heard Tan Tian's praise, and hurriedly said: "That is, although I don't cook often, but once I make it, it is a high-quality product, and it is delicious!"
In fact, Tan Tian thought in his heart: Senior brother doesn't cook often, so he has to be so delicious.
After breakfast, the third senior sister Xu Yunzhen accompanied Tan Tian for a walk. The two of them went down the mountain trail until they reached the foot of the mountain, where there was a grassland under Nanyun Mountain. The two walked on the grass, Xu Yanzhen did not speak, and Tan Tian was silent.
Tan Tian thought all the way: "It's been about twenty days since I came to this world, and I have become a tall and handsome guy." It's good that I'm two years old, and I'm only twenty years old. But I miss my world very much, because there are my relatives and friends there, and here, I don't have any relatives. I don't know what happened to me a thousand years later, I was stabbed twice, but I can't die. Thinking like this, Tan Tian's face became very sad.
Xu Weizhen saw that his junior brother's face was not good, and asked, "Senior brother, what's wrong with you, your face is so bad." ”
Tan Tian woke up from the contemplation just now, glanced at the third senior sister, and thought: "I can't hide the secret in my heart, it's too tiring, I should tell others, just tell the third senior sister, otherwise I will suffocate to death." Yes, that's it, let my sister help me keep it secret. ”
So Tan Tian said to Xu Weizhen: "Senior sister, I will tell you everything, but you have to keep it secret for me, I don't want to hurt others." ”
Xu Weizhen said very strangely: "What secret? Okay, I will keep it secret for you, and I won't tell anyone else." Rest assured. ”
Tan Tian opened his mouth and said: "Senior sister, in fact, I am not from this era, I am a person from a thousand years later, and in my era, I am also called Tan Tian." ”
In just one sentence, Xu Yunzhen couldn't digest it, Xu Yunzhen looked at Tan Tian in confusion, and exclaimed: "What, people in a thousand years?"
Tan Tian didn't answer her words either, and continued: "I live in an era that is far more open and developed than this...... ”
In this way, Tan Tian told Xu Yunzhen everything about himself. In the middle, Xu Yunzhen asked a lot of things she didn't understand, and she was a little panicked by Tan Tian's sudden explanation. She admired Tan Tian's courage in fighting with the gangsters, and expressed sympathy and admiration for Tan Tian's experience.
"So, when Master helped you restore your soul, he summoned a person named Tan Tian a thousand years later, that is, your soul! How is this possible?" Xu Weizhen said in surprise.
Tan Tiandao: "I don't believe it either, but this happened after all, at first I thought it was a dream, but this is clearly not a dream." Senior sister, I am not the Tan Tian you know, and it is impossible for you to help me recover my memory, because we are two different souls. ”
Xu Yunzhen was still immersed in incredulity, and Tan Tian said: "Senior sister, you have to keep it secret, if the master finds out, he will be angry, and he may send me back to my parents' house, but I don't know them either, and it will also make my parents sad then." That junior brother of yours, Tan Tian's soul, doesn't know where to go?"
Tan Tian's words made Xu Yanzhen shed tears, and cried: "It is impossible for the soul of the fifth senior brother to come back, his earth soul no longer exists, it is gone, the fifth senior brother is dead, woo ......." ”
Tan Tian saw that Senior Sister was crying, and she was so sad, it can be seen that the Fourth Senior Brother is right, she is deeply in love with another Tan Tian. But he wanted to help Xu Weizhen again, he should have been sad himself, but when he came to a world without relatives, now Xu Weizhen is sadder than him. He hurriedly asked, "Is this ...... Why doesn't Tan Tian's earth soul exist? What are you crying about, Senior Sister? ”
Xu Yunzhen whimpered: "The fifth junior brother's earth soul will disappear within seven days after leaving the **, and it has been more than 20 days now, and the three souls of heaven, earth, and life have lost one earth soul, which is equivalent to a line of corpses, woo ......." ”
Tan Tian was taken aback when he heard this, the earth soul did not return from the body for seven days, and the body was equivalent to a line of corpses, could it be that Tan Tian would be a vegetative person after a thousand years, what should my parents do, I also have a sister who is just ten years old, what should they do. When I thought of this, I was also very sad and cried loudly.
Xu Weizhen saw Tan Tian also crying, stopped crying, and asked, "What are you crying for?"
Tan Tian said the reason to Xu Yunzhen. When Xu Yunzhen heard it, he couldn't help but feel sad for Tan Tian. But she cried twice, thought about it, and said to Tan Tian: "Don't cry, I won't cry either, since you can come here from a thousand years later, it's all God's will, and your cultivation must also follow God's will." ”
As soon as she said this, Tan Tian slowly stopped crying, and after thinking about it, she was no longer sad, and said to Xu Yunzhen: "Beauty, since you ......"
Before Tan Tian could continue, Xu Yun said angrily: "Why do you call me a beauty, wouldn't you be inferior to me." You might as well call me Senior Sister. ”
Tan Tian hurriedly explained: "No, no, senior sister, you misunderstood, in our era, many people called young women like this. ”
Xu Yunzhen was skeptical after hearing this. Tan Tian continued: "Senior sister, let's not be sad, since I can come here from a thousand years later, it means that someone is indeed arranging this matter. Your brother's earth soul does not necessarily disappear when he leaves the physical body, maybe he is now above the physical body of someone else. ”
Hearing this, Xu Yunzhen also felt that there was such a possibility, so he was no longer sad.
The two got up and continued walking, when suddenly a goshawk flew down from the sky. Xu Weizhen fixed his eyes and looked, it turned out that there was a gray rabbit not far away in a daze, it didn't run, the goshawk's eyes were sharp, spread its wings and went straight to the gray rabbit, the eyes of the goshawk were too pressing, fortunately, human eyes are not like this, if it would not often scare people, the gray rabbit didn't know if it was taken by the gaze of the goshawk, and the enemy couldn't even move his legs at the moment.
Seeing that the goshawk grabbed the gray rabbit away, Xu Xiaozhen bent down and picked up a blade of grass and threw it at the goshawk. I saw the blade of grass spinning and running towards the goshawk, and when the goshawk's sharp claws were less than half a foot away from the gray rabbit, the gray rabbit realized what it was born with legs for, and ran away.
Tan Tian shouted, "Okay!" He saw that the rabbit had run away, and said to Xu Weizhen: "Don't kill that eagle." ”
Xu Weizhen said: "Don't worry, it can't die, I didn't try too hard." That rabbit was lucky enough to not be so lucky next time. ”
As soon as she finished speaking, sure enough, the goshawk stood up, calmed down for a while, and flew away.
Tan Tian said a little excitedly: "Senior sister, you are really at stake, a bit like a heroine in a martial arts novel." ”
Xu Weizhen was still a little uncomfortable being praised by Tan Tianyi, she had never heard the fifth junior brother praise herself before, although she was a senior sister, but the fifth junior brother was better than herself in all aspects, and she usually asked the fifth junior brother for advice on what she didn't understand in practice, and the fifth junior brother taught her like a younger sister, although she was two years older than her junior brother. But when he thought that he was no longer the fifth junior brother he used to admire, he didn't take it to heart, and said, "Fifth junior brother, he is much more beneficial than me. By the way, what is a martial arts novel?"
Tan Tianyi hurriedly explained: "Martial arts novels are books written by people, and there are many people in them who are as powerful as you just now. But they are all fiction, and you are real. ”
Xu Yunzhen asked again: "Tan Tian, although you are not my former fifth junior brother, but you have his heavenly soul, life soul and physical body, you should also know some cultivation methods." Come, throw this grass out. ”
After that, he cut off a piece of grass and gave it to Tan Tian, Tan Tian took the grass and threw it hard, only to see the grass fly out with a "whoosh!", flying out three hundred meters away. He was stunned, he never thought that one day he would be able to have a martial arts like the characters in the novel.
Xu Yunzhen was also taken aback, although she expected that Tan Tian might have some of the cultivation of the fifth junior disciple, but at this moment, when she saw that Tan Tian's cultivation was not far from the fifth junior brother a month ago, she was also a little excited, and said, "Tan Tian, that's right, you put down the small tree in front of you again, and then cast a spell to bring it over." As she spoke, she pointed to a row of small trees about a mile ahead.
Tan Tian saw that there were six small trees over there and asked, "Which one?"
Xu Yunzhen replied: "Count the third tree on the right." Tan Tian responded: "Okay." ”
Tan Tian picked up a small stone from the ground, aimed at the small tree, and threw it hard. The small stone flew out like an arrow, and hit the third tree on the right with a "dang" sound, and the little tree was interrupted by the stone.
Tan Tian thought: It's easy to put the little tree down, but what should I do if I take the little tree back? Is it difficult to rely on the mind to control. Thinking of this, Tan Tian spread the fingers of his right hand and pointed in the direction of Xiaoshu, intending to take Xiaoshu in his hand with his mind. But Tan Tian's hand was open for a long time, and the little tree lying on the ground still didn't move.
Xu Yunzhen sighed and said, "Tan Tian, although you have the strength of the fifth junior brother, you can't cast spells. Looks like I'm going to have to teach you how to cast spells. Let's go, let's go back to the mountain. You were just able to walk on the ground today, and I don't know if you can use light power to go up the mountain. ”
Tan Tian said, "I'll try it." I feel full of energy. ”
At this time, it was already halfway, and the two of them did not walk from the mountain road, but flew straight to the mountain. Tan Tianyi jumped nearly half a mile, Xu Xiaozhen was the next point, Tan Tianyue stood in front of the mountainside treetops waiting for Xu Yunzhen, he was a little shaken in the air, and he could barely stabilize his figure. When Tan Tian stood on the treetops, he was a little self-absorbed. He never imagined that one day he would be able to fly, and although he could not fly at will like a mythical character, he was satisfied with the ability to leap half a mile.
When Xu Yunzhen caught up, he asked Xu Junzhen: "Senior sister, is there anyone who can fly in the air at will." ”
Xu Yunzhen said: "I haven't seen it, and I can't achieve it in ordinary cultivation, but it should be possible through spells." I heard that the East China Sea Lotus Sect is very good at controlling the sky, and they can step on the lotus platform to fly in the sky. But in recent years, they have not seen anyone from the Lotus Sect, and they have been absent from the Ziyang Mountain Summit for six years. ”
Tan Tian: "......?......?......?......?".
Xu Junzhen: "...... ,......。 ...... ,......。 ”
Through Xu Yunzhen, Tan Tian knew that there was a summit in the circle of cultivation, and the summit was held in Ziyang Mountain, so it was also called the Ziyang Mountain Summit. The Ziyang Mountain Summit is held once a year and has been held more than 50 times, not consecutively, and there has been a period of interruption due to various reasons. To put it bluntly, it is equivalent to a martial arts competition, why the summit is located in Ziyang Mountain, it is actually very simple, because Ziyang Mountain is in the middle.
There is Zigong Mountain in the northwest of Ziyang Mountain, and there is a teaching in Zigong Mountain, which has a history of more than 300 years, which is a hundred years earlier than the Yifeng Sect in Nanyun Mountain, and the congregation is good at using fire.
In recent years, Ning Zifeng, who has taught a lot, is twenty-nine years old, this person is very strong, and in recent years, he has participated in the Ziyang Mountain Summit and won three first places and three second places. Interestingly, there is a North Cloud Mountain in the north of Ziyang Mountain, which corresponds to the South Cloud Mountain. There is an apprentice of the Tonggu Sect, named Zhuo He, is a woman, good at water, very powerful, is twenty-seven years old, just with Ning Zifeng's yin and yang, she has also won three first and third times in the past six years. When she won the first place, Ren Zifeng won the second place, when she won the second place, Ren Zifeng won the first place, and she won the first place last year. It is also because the first two positions have been occupied by Ning Zifeng and Zhuo He in the past six years, and people call the summit in the past six years "Ning Zhuo's hegemony".
But six years ago, there was a year in the East China Sea Lotus Sect by a girl named Xiao Xiaomei, this person is too legendary, appeared at the Ziyang Mountain Summit from the age of thirteen, won the first place for four consecutive years, and then said that she would not participate in the Ziyang Mountain Summit again. Her decision made countless spectators sigh, because Xiao Xiaomei was not only outstanding, but also very beautiful. The most important thing is her standard Lotus Sect battle, stepping on the lotus platform and flying around in the sky, "There are many cultivators in the world, but only the lotus flower can control the sky." Xiao Xiaomei is also considered to be the most likely person of the menstrual generation to achieve positive results.
When Xu Yunzhen talked about Xiao Xiaomei, Tan Tian was very excited, thinking that it was too good: he was thirteen years old, and he had been the top spot for four consecutive years, how could it be! He secretly swore that he would definitely see Xiao Xiaomei in the future.
This Ziyang Mountain Summit is not something that all cultivators can participate in. Although there is no age limit, those who have accepted apprentices are not allowed to participate in the competition, and the descendants of the apprentices are naturally older, and the elders are not allowed to participate, because the summit is for the elderly, and only in this way can it attract children from all over the world who are interested in practicing to worship in the mountains.
Every sect wants to accept more disciples, and it is really a good way to accumulate fame by relying on the Ziyang Mountain Summit to collect disciples. If there are more disciples, the incense in the sect will not be broken, that is, the financial road will not be broken. Most of the cultivators are unable to achieve the right results, including the current heads or leaders of the various sects. Therefore, being able to live a nourishing life is something that many practitioners are happy to do.
Cultivation depends on talent, and those with good talent practice faster, and those with bad talent practice more slowly. Many people still can't learn what the master taught them when they reach their forties and fifties, so they can't continue to practice, so they have to go home and get married and have children, so most of the cultivators get married relatively late. Or these people go to heal and save people, or send some little demons and ghosts, and the people who invite him will give a dowry. Some will know some spells, and some will also open mountains to collect apprentices, and survival is not a problem. Of course, their fame is not very good, and the circle of cultivation is probably so popular in the world.
In the forests of the South China Sea in the extreme south, there is a trapped dragon sect, and the trapped dragon sect is good at designing its own organs, and urging it with mana, such as using flowers and trees to set up formations, and using mana to drive flowers and trees to besiege the enemy, which is extremely powerful, but there have been no newcomers in recent years.
In the southeast of Ziyang Mountain, there is a collection of teaching, as the name suggests, good at the soil escape, open the mountain, soil enclosure and other methods, the current imperial court has also spent a lot of money to ask Song Wenyi, the head of the collection of teaching, to assist the imperial court to repair the mountain road, dig the river.
For example, the current situation in the cultivation world is roughly the same today, every year the five major sects of the Yifeng Sect in Nanyun Mountain, the Tonggu Sect in Beiyun Mountain, the Zigong Mountain Teaching, the South China Sea Forest Trapped Dragon Sect, and the Dayu Mountain Caishen Sect gather in Ziyang Mountain (Qiyun Sect cannot be regarded as a great religion, there are few people, and there is a lack of capable people), the Ziyang Mountain Summit is a grand event in the cultivation world, and practitioners also want to participate in it. Why do you say that it is the Five Great Sects, because the East China Sea Lotus Sect has not appeared at the Ziyang Mountain Summit for six consecutive years.
Xiao Xiaomei is now twenty-three years old, since she announced at the age of seventeen that she would no longer participate in the Ziyang Mountain Summit, she really hasn't been to Ziyang Mountain, didn't she say that she wouldn't participate, you can also come and take a look, but she hasn't even seen it in six years. All the people in the cultivation world want to see the style of the Lotus Sect again, but they don't invite them to come, saying that they are coming is also a big spoil of other people's scenery, which is too arrogant, but the powerful people say arrogant things, and others don't talk about it much, who makes people have the strength to say it.
