It's night, the moon is on the eaves, and the wind blows the star curtains.
There's snow tonight.
Bai Gu has been sitting on the ridge of the roof for a long time, and a thick layer of snow has fallen on his shoulders. But Bai Gu just sat there and didn't move to sweep him down.
A man dressed in white came and sat next to Bai Gu.
Wang Xizhou got straight to the point: "Xizhou thinks that you lacked some consideration regarding the matter in the evening."
Bai Gu looked indifferent, "It's just picking on her, I'm already being merciful."
Wang Xizhou shook his head, "That's not what I meant."
"what is that?"
"You shouldn't tell so many things about the Sumeru beads. One or two are enough to avoid being remembered."
Bai Gu didn't care anymore, "With you and Brother Hua here, what should I be afraid of? And I'm also practicing my body skills now. If I can't beat him, I can just run away."
"You have just started practicing now, and your cultivation level is not very high. With Xiaoxiao, you may not be able to escape the pursuit of a person in the same realm."
Bai Gu smiled, noncommittal.
With his own speed, coupled with the initial practice of body skills in the past two days, Bai Gu was still confident of getting rid of a person in the same realm, not to mention being able to escape the pursuit of a person at a high level.
Unless that person has some attainments in Shenfa, Bai Gu's speed is still not slow even with Bai Xiaoxiao.
"There is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the world. Take the girl in the afternoon as an example. As far as catching and fighting, with your current methods, you can't beat her." Wang Xizhou paused, "The premise is that you don't use Mr. Wu's token .”
Bai Gu chuckled, "That token is also one of my trump cards, why can't I use it? Maybe she has it too?"
"You can't beat her without using a cross-level Taoist weapon." Wang Xizhou added, "She is an eighth-level spirit-casting person. How can you beat her?"
Bai Gu hesitated.
The eighth level of casting spirit? That guy doesn't look big, how come he has such a high level of cultivation!
At that time, when Hua Xie broke the cultivation level of the freckled girl, Bai Gu thought that she was only one or two levels higher than him.
Unexpectedly, she turned out to be the eighth level!
I’m not even the second level!
It's really annoying to compare people to each other!
"But if she was at level eight, why didn't she go berserk on the spot, hurt me directly, and run away in the chaos?"
Wang Xizhou smiled and said, "She is a smart person, so she didn't take action."
Bai Gu glanced at Wang Xizhou.
"Both Xizhou and Xiaoxie are people who can see through her cultivation. They must be one or two realms higher than her. If she really takes action, the injured person may not be you. Moreover, the girl seems to have deliberately concealed her cultivation, but I don’t know why. After several restraints, the girl argued with you verbally and did not take action rashly."
"So that's it." Bai Gu touched his chin and put away the thought in his mind.
Wang Xizhou spoke again: "And the girl seemed a little weird. When Xizhou entered the door, he released a subtle spiritual power to detect whether there were other practitioners in the restaurant. When he detected the girl, she was inexplicably swallowed A small part of it was taken away. Xizhou was curious, so he let go of his control over the spiritual power, and as a result, the spiritual power was gone."
Bai Gu frowned, "Been swallowed?"
Wang Xizhou nodded.
"It can swallow even a trace of spiritual power in the spirit-swallowing realm. It's amazing."
Wang Xizhou glanced at Bai Gu. Obviously Bai Gu still didn't understand what he meant. "Xizhou believes that the girl can not only swallow other people's spiritual power, but also use it for herself."
Bai Gu's eyes widened, obviously not believing it, "Can it still be like this?"
"There are several avenues that follow this path, but these are not very upright avenues. They are often regarded as side roads or byways and cannot reach the level of elegance."
"Is there a representative strong man?"
"The demon clan Huang Nianyu, the Tianling clan has Xue Liudou."
"Huang Jianxian? He can do this too? And what about that Tianling clan guy? Why is his name so weird?"
Wang Xizhou put his hands on his sleeves, and a faint white spiritual power emerged around the two of them, hovering slowly, "I said some very taboo things, so I need a soundproof barrier to avoid being noticed by the big shots."
Bai Gu nodded, indicating that he understood.
Then Bai Gu silently used the light barrier.
No one can see it, no one can know it.
Wang Xizhou glanced at the faint red light beside him, and continued: "Huang Jianxian's true body is a yellow croaker, and before his spiritual intelligence has been awakened, he often swallows spiritual power in the water. Especially after he has become a human being and has become a human being, Huang Jianxian When walking in the human landscape and fighting with Wenjian, he can independently absorb the water transport of heaven and earth and other people's spiritual power, and turn it into his own use to fill his own body's spiritual power. As long as the level of combat power is not too high, Huang Jianxian can almost stand on his own. A place of defeat.”
"I see. No wonder Huang Jianxian never lost in the stories I heard."
"Huang Jianxian is very talented in swordsmanship and can break through realms quickly. Coupled with the talent that he can use for his own use, he rarely loses." Wang Xizhou paused, "As for Youxue Liudou from the Tianling Tribe, I wonder if you have ever heard of the bright moon in the mountains and the sky full of snow?”
Bai Gu thought for a while, "The next sentence seems to be that the geese will not return to the old trees in the ancient well?"
Wang Xizhou showed a smile, "These two poems are not only describing scenery, but also describing people. In these two poems, six powerful men with outstanding grace are engraved. Youxue Liudou is one of them, Snow Mantian. .”
"Very powerful?"
"The mountains are flowing, the moon is always clear, the sky is full of snow, the ancient wells are not rippled, the crows are dim in the old trees, and the wild goose is not back. These six are all sage-level figures. Yan Buhui is Dugu Zang of Yanbei Peak and the leader of Dugu Mountain."
Wang Xizhou gave an example, and Bai Gu understood instantly, "So powerful! But this one, Youxue Liudou, doesn't seem to have a good reputation."
"I just keep a low profile." Wang Xizhou smiled, "A sage-level figure, do you think he has no reputation?"
"Did he have any great deeds?"
"I was ambushed and surrounded by several big monsters from the same realm, and finally escaped without a trace, and even killed four of them. Do you think it's awesome?"
Bai Gu was stunned for a moment, "You escaped with your whole body? Can you still fight back? You're ruthless."
"It must be the snow sage's good fortune. That day happened to be the season of heavy snow."
"There are relationships?"
"Why do you think he is called Snow Man Tian?" Wang Xizhou smiled and reached out to catch some snow. "Although no one knows the details of the great road of the Snow Sage, they can probably guess it. It is most likely that it is It has something to do with snow. And in heavy snow weather, its combat effectiveness will also increase."
Bai Gu touched his chin, "Isn't that too restrictive? If it's summer, the combat power should be reduced a lot, right?"
"The impact is not big. For sage-level figures, the impact of the environment on them can be said to be minimal. Except for some very special avenues, they are generally fine."
"Like a sudden heavy snowfall in the summer?"
"almost."
The corners of Bai Gu's mouth twitched twice.
If you have a high level of cultivation, you can really do whatever you want.
"So what does this Snow Sage have to do with swallowing spiritual power? Isn't he playing with snow?"
Wang Xizhou smiled and said, "He is from the Tianling tribe, and the Tianling tribe is naturally close to spiritual power, so this kind of Taoist magic that swallows other people's spiritual power and uses it for their own use is nothing in their tribe. A curious thing, even just a...little addition."
"Have your own talents? You are a perfect protagonist in the play!" Bai Gu's eyes lit up.
"You can't say that. Everything in the world will maintain a balance, and there will be gains and losses. While they are born close to spiritual power and practice a thousand miles, the lifespan of the Tianling people will also be greatly shortened." Wang Xizhou paused. , "Ordinary Tianling people only have a life span of twenty years. Unless they reach the Kuxuan realm, they can only wait for death. The Kuxuan realm can extend their lifespan by five hundred years, while the Tianling tribe can only extend their lives by fifty years. All realms can only extend their lifespan. One-tenth, this is the price of being born close to spiritual power."
"If you get close to the spiritual power, wouldn't it be more consistent with the spiritual power of heaven and earth? If this is the case, it shouldn't be more effective in extending your life. How come it actually shortens your life?"
"The matter of lifespan is mysterious and unpredictable. At least with Xizhou's current vision, we can't even scratch its surface. But lifespan has nothing to do with whether you are close to spiritual power. In other words, the closer you are to spiritual power, the greater the impact on lifespan. , this is a kind of... divine punishment. The more evil a person is in talent, the more likely he is to suffer divine punishment and jealousy."
Bai Gu hugged his knees with his hands and smiled, "I don't have this kind of trouble. My talent is average and my physique is too weak. I really live up to that sentence, no matter what happens, I feel light."
Wang Xizhou turned to look at Bai Gu, "Talent can only be divided into lower limits, and the upper limit of the future avenue must be determined by one's own efforts. So Xiaobai, even if your talent is average, don't be discouraged. History is long. Among them, there are saints and sages with average talents, and your achievements in the Great Dao may not be lower because of your talents."
"Then thank Brother Wang for your kind words." Bai Gu smiled, noncommittal.
Bai Gu suddenly remembered something, "So, isn't that guy in the evening restaurant just like Huang Jianxian and Youxue Sage, with extremely high talents?"
"It can only be said that the talents or avenues of the three are similar, but the level and depth vary from person to person." Seeing that Bai Gu still didn't understand, Wang Xizhou had to make a metaphor, "Even if they are concentric circles with the same midpoint, , also divided into big and small, people who practice the same path can achieve the same level of achievements."
Bai Gu took a deep breath into his hand and rubbed it vigorously, "Brother Wang, should the direction of the avenue be decided in the first few months, or should we wait until the Kuxuan realm before considering it?"
"It depends on yourself. There is no hard requirement for this. Of course, some sects will first arrange a great avenue for their disciples to practice, and then wait until they cross the threshold of the Kuxuan realm to practice other paths, so that there is no delay in both."
"Can I practice two channels?"
"Of course." Wang Xizhou smiled, "Xiao Bai, you can do it even if you come here. There is one body skill, one sword skill, and now there are two basic skills. With the improvement of cultivation level and the practice of skills, one person There will be more and more lines of practice. In the Kuxuan realm, you need to find out the direction of a line and have your own insights. Only in the following six realms and seven realms, you need to clarify a avenue and fit it in order to compete with everyone in the world. .”
Bai Gu shook his head, indicating that he didn't understand.
"For example, a sect that majors in Thunder Technique has roughly five thousand disciples and elders. They all practice Thunder Technique at the beginning of their practice. When they enter the Kuxuan Realm, they all choose Thunder Technique to break through the realm. There is no problem. Because it is just a beacon on the road, even if the practice of the great road changes in the future, it will not hurt. But starting from the sixth and seventh realms, you have to compete for the first place on the single-plank bridge. There are thousands of people in one sect alone, let alone countless sects in the world , families and casual cultivators, all these together, just the inner elixir in the thunder method, there are at least tens of millions of strong men in the sixth and seventh realms. At this time, the competition among the avenues is fierce, like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. And once you let others come ashore, the path you have worked hard for most of your life will be cut off, which is a very desperate thing. There are many geniuses in history who have their hearts broken and their cultivation in ashes. There are even more What's more, he died on the spot and ended miserably. Therefore, it is not unusual to practice multiple threads. It also leaves a way out for the future self, so as not to narrow the road and end it. There are many roads in the world, but there is only one. suit myself."
Bai Gu was confused when he heard it, but he still understood most of it.
There are many pathways and pathways, don’t box yourself into a small corner.
"But if you practice too many channels, aren't you afraid of biting off more than you can chew?"
Wang Xizhou smiled slightly, "It depends on one's ability. Do your best within your ability. This is the self-cultivation of spiritual practice. Otherwise, you don't know how much you weigh, and it is easy for others to attack you and kill you." .”
"ah?"
"You can understand it as being tricked, deceived, or victimized, or you can put it another way, as being stabbed in the back."
"understood."
"Look at your face, Xiaobai, have you been deceived?"
"Absolutely, he's an old guy." Bai Gu held his chin with both hands, with a hint of nostalgia on his face. "He has a bad mouth, is very out of tune, and often speaks in a pornographic manner. But he is very nice, and to me During that very difficult time, he helped me a lot, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he gave me a new life. But he left Yunshui City for something and did not tell me, and I did not say goodbye to him when I left Yunshui City. It’s a little regretful.”
"It's okay. The world is big but the world is small. Separation is the norm, and reunion is waiting in the blink of an eye. The book says that separation is for the sake of a better encounter next time, which is not entirely a bad thing."
"It's okay. I'm just worried that he's old and has to go to such a far away place to do things. What if he dies on the way? I still owe him money and I haven't paid him back."
"It's a good thing to have something on your mind. But there's no need for you to worry about it."
"It's very unlucky to owe money to a dead person. I don't want to be unlucky in the future and fall down when I walk on the ground."
"Then you should look forward to something good. For example, next time we meet, you have traveled through many mountains and rivers, so you can talk to him, or you can treat him to a good meal, and the two of you can sit down and have family fun. It's both very nice. Good expectations.”
"...It shouldn't be possible. After all, we often fight and quarrel with each other."
"The small fights between friends are the testimony of the long-lasting friendship. You have been friends for many years, which is even more valuable."
Bai Gu curled his lips, "I hope so."
