At that moment, both Qu Wuming and Han Tian felt something strange in their consciousness. It seemed that there was something deep in their souls, but they returned to normal in just a moment. aware.
Qu Wuming chuckled, patted Han Tian on the shoulder and said, "Good brother, from now on your business is my business, and your friends are my friends!"
As he spoke, Qu Wuming's gaze swept across the courtyard, and he released the huge spiritual pressure from his mid-stage transformation into a god, immediately setting off a gust of wind in the spacious third level courtyard!
The huge spiritual pressure produced a strong sense of oppression, making many guests present feel a kind of fear from the depths of their souls - and Qu Wuming's spiritual pressure also contained a strong evil spirit, which was the result of countless experiences. The unique aura of killing made everyone seem to have fallen into a sea of blood purgatory instantly!
Qu Wuming's voice echoed in the courtyard like a loud bell and fell clearly into everyone's ears: "You will all help the Dian Yun family more in the future. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"
"yes!"
"sure!"
"Senior Qu, please don't worry!"
There was a flurry of replies among the guests.
"Hehe, brother Han Tian, I will be your elder brother from now on. I will naturally inquire about your affairs slowly in the future, and will not act like a confused elder brother who doesn't know anything." Qu Wuming grinned, "I just saw you fighting. The speed is pretty good, and it just so happens that my eldest brother also likes this technique. I’d like to give you this technique to play with, just think of it as a greeting gift!”
With that said, Qu Wuming threw a jade slip to Han Tian.
Han Tian quickly took the jade slip and put it on his forehead.
"Shen Dharma Technique..."Thousand Shadows of Flowing Light"?"
"Well, it may be a little different from your body skills, but the speed may not be different. When the Thousand Shadows Flowing Light is practiced to perfection, the body skills will be real and illusory, making people elusive. Especially at night, at most it can be It transforms into hundreds of phantoms, and the true body is hidden in them. Whether it is killing enemies or escaping, it has endless magical uses." Qu Wuming said, "It's just that it's not easy to practice this method, just learn to play."
"Thank you Qu Qian... thank you big brother!" Han Tian hurriedly said, taking out a long and narrow stone box from the storage ring, holding it with both hands, and respectfully handed it to Qu Wuming, "Brother, although this sword is It's a broken sword, but it's extremely sharp. It should be considered unique in the Eastern Continent, so please accept it, big brother!"
"Huh? Why does this stone box look familiar..." Qu Wuming felt that it seemed familiar at first sight. He took the stone box curiously, opened it gently, and couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise, "Yuan Cha Sword!"
"Brother knows about this sword?" Han Tian couldn't help being stunned when he heard this. This sword has never been shown to anyone since it was auctioned, but Qu Wuming actually called out its name at a glance.
"It turns out you were the one who bought the sword that day!" Qu Wuming chuckled, picked up the sword and looked at it carefully. He remembered an auction he had attended before and couldn't help but feel a little speechless.
"Eldest brother was there at that time?" Han Tian asked.
"More than that?! I took a fancy to this sword at first sight, and I said I must get it!" Qu Wuming's fingers gently stroked the sword's spine, feeling the coolness coming from the sword. "But at that time, when I made a bid, someone would add a hundred spiritual stones. When I made a bid, that person would add a hundred and zero stones... The key is, he seemed to be very rich, but he didn't add more every time, just added One hundred! When he snatched the sword away from me in the end, I was so filled with hatred that my teeth itched, haha..."
Han Tian: "..."
"Hehe, I didn't expect that the person who photographed him turned out to be my brother, and this sword ended up in my hands... This is called fate, it's wonderful!" Qu Wuming put the Yuansha Sword into the storage ring. , suddenly put away his joking expression, and said solemnly to Han Tian and Yun Feng, "Although I don't know the meaning of the play played by Tianjizi today, but listen to what the elder brother said, whenever you encounter Tianjizi in the future, Please be careful when doing so!”
Han Tian, Yun Feng and others were startled when they heard this, and asked with some confusion: "Brother, what do you mean by this?"
"I have sworn to be brothers with you on the basis of my inner demon, so naturally I will not lie to you!" The past gradually emerged in Qu Wuming's mind, "I have actually been thinking about who Tianjizi is..."
"Tianjizi, among the rumors in the monastic world, they all say that he is an 'extraordinary expert', 'a dragon that sees its head but not its tail', 'mysterious and weird', 'does whatever you want', and 'can see the secrets of heaven'... It seems that No one knows his real name, no one knows his true cultivation, no one knows how long he has lived, no one knows what he wants to do... But my intuition tells me that he is not worthy of trust. Do you know , when I first met him, it was more than a thousand years ago. At that time, I was only at the Nascent Soul stage, but he was already at the Divine Transformation stage - and his cultivation seems to be exactly the same as today... "
"Is this how you were cultivated more than a thousand years ago?!" Han Tian and others were stunned when they heard this.
Yun Hua, the ancestor of the Yun family on the side, also spoke at this time: "I met Tianjizi once hundreds of years ago, and his cultivation and aura seemed to be exactly the same as today."
"This is a bit unreasonable..." Han Tian frowned slightly, looked at everyone and said, "In the divine transformation stage, there is at most a small catastrophe every three hundred years. After that, one level of cultivation will naturally increase. After that, it will fly to ashes and return to heaven and earth with its cultivation. If I remember correctly, the earliest legend about senior Tianjizi is probably already..."
Qu Wuming nodded, took over the conversation and said, "It's been over ten thousand years!"
Sikong Ying'er hesitated a little and said, "Could it be that he practices some special technique?"
"No matter how special the technique is, it cannot escape the constraints of heaven. I have never heard of any exceptions for small tribulations that occur once every three hundred years in the transformation period. Small tribulations can only be advanced, not delayed, unless it is stopped by coagulation. "The method of longevity." Han Tian said, "But even the method of coagulating blood and stopping longevity only temporarily seals the growth of longevity. Once it is unsealed, the small catastrophe that occurs once every three hundred years will still come as scheduled. Brother, Will Tianjizi periodically clot, stop life, and disappear for a period of time?"
"Him? Haha... I have quietly done some research, and it seems that his shadow has been behind many major events over the past ten thousand years." Qu Wuming snorted coldly, "He has definitely never used the method of coagulating blood to stop life span."
"Whether he has practiced a special skill or some other method, Tianjizi's cultivation remains unchanged but his longevity is permanent. The secret is probably something we cannot easily break. Brother, since you said you want to confront Tianjizi, Be careful, machine, besides intuition, is there any other information you can share with us?"
"That's natural!" Qu Wuming picked up the flask and poured himself a glass. Memories came to his mind, and his eyes gradually became deeper. "The first time I saw him, it was at the edge of the vast desert. There were A small town…”
…
There is a huge desert on the west coast of the East Territory Continent, called the Hanhai Desert. It connects the Yunzhi Plateau to the east and the vast sea to the west, stretching thousands of miles and endlessly.
Although it is named as a desert, the landform here is actually very complex. Connecting to the side of the Yunzhi Plateau is a mountain range dominated by rugged stone mountains, which cuts off the Yunzhi Plateau like a barrier. The terrain on the west side of the mountain range gradually decreases, becoming mainly hills, and finally becomes an endless desert leading straight to the sea.
Among the hills and deserts, there are little oases scattered among them.
Although it is a vast desert, there is a rainy season for nearly a month every year. Every year around July, dark clouds roll in from the sea in the west, bringing nearly a month of abundant rainfall to the vast desert. Whenever the rain comes and the sky clears, the Hanhai Desert will turn into a world of lakes. Lakes of all sizes are like mirrors, dotted in the sea of sand, reflecting the blue sky, which is so beautiful.
However, this beauty does not last long. Just a few days after the rainy season ends, these lakes will disappear again. After all, heat and drought are the real masters here.
But this short one-month rainy season will still leave many things in the Hanhai Desert, such as those emerald-like oases dotted in the desert as if inlaid on a golden background board, such as those small towns on the edge of the desert. Sufficient underground water sources on which residents depend.
Although natural resources are relatively scarce, there are still more than ten small towns scattered on the vast edge of the vast desert. These small towns are on the only road connecting the Kingdom of Ruohan and the Kingdom of Isa. Many caravans traveling between the two countries all year round will choose to settle in these small towns to replenish their supplies.
There is another extremely special feature of the vast desert.
This is a rare place in the Eastern Continent with thin spiritual energy. There are no spiritual veins underground and no spiritual springs above the ground. Therefore, monks have no interest in this place and almost never set foot here unless necessary. The people living in these small towns would not encounter a Taoist monk passing by for decades.
However, there is a small town that still stubbornly chose a name close to the monks - Juxian Town.
In Juxian Town, there is an inn called Juxian Inn.
The exterior of Juxian Inn looks a bit shabby, and even the bluestone courtyard wall is somewhat damaged. A tall pole stands quietly in the middle of the courtyard, with a large flag with a somewhat tattered edge embroidered on it. Two big characters: Juxian.
Behind the tall pole is a three-story building.
The three-story building is the only tail of the scorpion in the entire Juxian Town. However, what is not commensurate with the scale of this small building is that the exterior wall of the building is already very mottled, and the green tiles on the roof are incomplete, making it look somewhat dilapidated.
However, the beams and columns of this small building are made of fine nanmu that is more than a hundred years old. Although it has gone through countless years and looks weathered, the building itself is still very strong and seems to be able to stand here forever. In Juxian Town, until the end of time.
