"Little Yangzi, why have you been gone for so long? Fortunately, I finally came back safely." Tiehu and Li Tong were woken up and were very happy to see it was Zhou Yang.
"Myolie has been worried a lot these days!" Li Tong glanced at his sister and said to Zhou Yang.
"Brother!" Xing'er glared at Li Tong angrily and refused to let him say anything more.
"Haha, I'm telling the truth." Li Tong laughed dryly.
"I've made you worry. I just went to do something with Captain Pu. No, I came back as soon as the things were done. It just took a little longer." Zhou Yang did not tell them his experience, and there was no need to let them know. They were worried, especially afraid of scaring Myolie.
"Okay, didn't I tell you before Xiao Yangzi left? It could take as little as a few days or as long as half a month. Now that we're back, let's have a few drinks together, which can be regarded as a blessing to Xiao Yangzi." After saying that, Tiehu took out a few glasses of wine. Hu Jiu said.
"Okay, let's have a good drink!" Li Tong also responded.
"I still have some game here, senior brother, you stew it and try it all." Zhou Yang took out a few small beasts from the storage bag and threw them to Tie Hu.
"I'll do it!" Myolie Li took the little beast and skinned it.
"Okay, let's drink first." Tiehu was naturally happy when he saw someone cooking, so he handed Zhou Yang and Li Tong a pot, and then took a big sip.
Before dawn, the four of them were drinking happily. If others saw it, they would definitely laugh at these drunkards.
Myolie also drank a lot and clamored for Zhou Yang to talk about his experiences these past few days. Zhou Yang had no choice but to pick up some non-dangerous things and tell some of them. Even so, Xing'er was very frightened. She kept telling Xiao Yang to be careful and never take risks again.
Zhou Yang could only agree with a wry smile.
His life is destined to be extremely dangerous. Whenever he doesn't take risks, there are only two results. One is that he dies, and the other is that he becomes a peerless strongman. The former result can occur at any time, but the latter is very slim.
The strong always swim against the current, while the weak follow the current. Zhou Yang had seen a passage in the classics of Ziyuan Sect before, and he didn't know which ancient person said it. It talked about the difficulty of cultivation and the twists and turns of the truth, and encouraged all cultivators in the world to strengthen their confidence and move forward courageously. This is the only way. , can achieve final success.
Zhou Yang was convinced after seeing it.
When the wine was full, he chanted it.
"Is it difficult? Is it dangerous? It's difficult, it's dangerous, and it's easy to pass away. Being born is suffering, tiredness leads to progress, change leads to improvement, tolerance leads to practice, tolerance leads to wisdom, sacrifice leads to gain, and hard work leads to success. .Easy means going down, difficult means going up! If your heart is strong, it will go from difficult to easy; if your heart is tired, it will go from easy to difficult. On the top of the mountain, at the top of the sky, you can overlook all living beings!"
These sentences mean:
Is it difficult? Is it dangerous? Difficulties and dangers are all right. There is no easy way in cultivation, and dangers can happen at any time. Comfort is reserved for the dead. When you die, you will always be comfortable.
Suffering is life, tiredness is the only way to progress, change is the only way to mastery, tolerance is the experience, tolerance is the wisdom, sacrifice is the only way to gain, hard work is the only way to have it! The easy road is always downhill. You find it difficult because you are going uphill! If the mind is strong, no matter how difficult it is, it will become easy; if the mind is relaxed, no matter how easy it is, it will become difficult.
Along the way of cultivating Taoism, you must grit your teeth and persevere until you reach the top of the mountain and leap to the sky. Infinite scenery is waiting for you, waiting for you to overlook the scenery below, to overlook all living beings in the world, and to let others look up to you instead of Look up to others!
Zhou Yang took this road full of thorns and dangers. Once he went down, he could not look back.
After hearing this, Tie Hu and the others were shocked.
Yes, now that we have embarked on the journey of cultivating Taoism, is there any way back? This is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. You can't even retreat, as one bad move will kill you, so you can only bite forward and never retreat.
"Little Yangzi, your breath!" Tiehu suddenly noticed something and said in surprise.
"No way, so fast!" Li Tong also opened his mouth.
"The Breakthrough King is born!" Myolie cheered.
Perhaps it was the bloody battles in the past few days or the recent realization that brought Zhou Yang to the critical point of breakthrough again. He couldn't hold back even if he wanted to, so he could only go with the flow.
From the fourth to the fifth level, the movement was not too loud, but Zhou Yang still did not dare to proceed inside the house for fear of destroying these stone houses again.
Everything went smoothly. The fifth vortex of energy in Dantian gradually formed, and the mist at the altar became more solid. This marked that Zhou Yang had entered the fifth level of the spiritual stage.
Needless to say about spiritual power, it was no longer a matter of firing the Golden Snake Death Spear seven or eight times at this time. And when his spiritual consciousness was released, within a thousand feet, he could see things as if they were daylight, and everything seemed to be right in front of him.
The power of the spiritual light increased even more, almost comparable to that of a peak cultivator on the Lingtai.
Now, his overall strength is comparable to that of an ordinary late-stage Lingtai, and he can even fight at the ninth level of the Lingtai. Although he has never tried it, he is very aware of the extent of his strength.
Surprisingly, the consciousness injury did not occur during this breakthrough, which made him feel relieved a little.
Throughout the day, Zhou Yang was stabilizing and familiarizing himself with the realm, and re-experienced all the spells and magical powers he had mastered.
It was night, and he didn't rest. Instead, he went directly to Anping City, rented a guest room with an underground fire, and started refining a large amount of alchemy.
As soon as it dawned, Zhou Yang hesitated again and again, and finally went to the old man in Anping Xicheng to clean his face. The old man was as calm and calm as ever, unconcerned with the world, but he was still alone and had only a few guests.
He had serious suspicions that this person was the one who made the move in the wasteland, so he came here today, firstly to disguise himself, secondly to inquire about information, and thirdly to test this person.
"Senior, please help me clean my face again."
"Sit down." Still without saying much, the old man began to clean up Zhou Yang.
"Senior, please change your appearance this time, just be slightly different from last time." Zhou Yang said cautiously.
"knew."
"Senior, I have the courage to ask, have you been out these days?" Seeing that the old man was no different from usual, Zhou Yang couldn't help but ask.
"No."
"Would you like to think about it again?"
"No." Although it was still these two words, the old man's tone was obviously impatient.
"Haha, senior, last time the elder Hu's loving mother passed away, the junior was lucky enough to participate and return safely, thanks to the senior's help, otherwise we would have been in trouble." There is no way, this old man is too mysterious, it is not a problem to continue like this, Zhou Yang must do something It is best to know his identity, whether he is a friend or an enemy, otherwise you will always feel like a thorn in your back.
"Are you talking about cleaning your face or selling your clothes?" the old man asked calmly.
"Oh, of course it's a matter of discipleship." Zhou Yang said hurriedly.
"What's the point? I was a disciple of Xuanfu Sect in my early years. I left the sect for some reason and it was useless to keep my robes, so I sold them."
"Oh, you were a disciple of Xuanfu Sect?" Zhou Yang was surprised by the old man's words.
"Um."
"Xuanfu Sect is one of the four sects of Anping. Why do you want to be a casual cultivator?" Zhou Yang continued to ask.
"You were once a disciple of Tu Yan Ziyuan Sect, why did you become a casual cultivator?" the old man asked back.
"This..." Zhou Yang was not surprised by this, but was choked by the old man's words.
Since this old man can help him, his identity must not be a secret in his eyes.
"Junior, stop talking in circles, why do you want to help me?" Zhou Yang had no choice but to get straight to the point.
"I'm not helping you, it's just a coincidence." The old man shook his head.
"I'm afraid it can't be that simple?" Zhou Yang naturally didn't believe it.
"Your strength is not weak, you can't see my cultivation level!" the old man said again.
"You are indeed at the pinnacle of Lingtai, but..."
"There is nothing wrong with it. Over the years, I have cleansed the faces of cultivators of Tianyuan and above. If you can't tell if I conceal my cultivation, can't they still tell?" The old man said a rare word. so much.
"This..." This is indeed the truth, but Zhou Yang always feels that something is wrong.
Listening to the voice of this old man, it is very different from the previous voice transmission in the wasteland. It seems that he is not the same person, but it is still very simple for a master to change his voice. But since he is a master and a great master, is it necessary for him to change his voice? Especially for a small Lingtai realm cultivator like me, I am not qualified to let others do that.
After half a cup of tea, the old man finished cleaning up, then quietly sat back on the wooden chair and drank tea by himself.
"Senior..." Zhou Yang wanted to ask again, but was stopped by the old man.
"Thank you, senior!" Since he didn't want to say it, he had to give up. However, judging from the tone just now, this person should have no ill intentions towards him, which reassured him a lot.
Zhou Yang took a look at himself with the bronze realm. As expected, he had changed a lot. His appearance was very different from before, so he took out a spirit stone bag and put it on the table.
"No need. But this is the last time I will help you."
"The last time!" Zhou Yang was stunned, and the hand holding the spirit stone bag froze in mid-air.
"I will be traveling far away in a few days. I hope you will take care of yourself from now on."
"senior……"
"I won't send you off." The old man ordered the guests to be kicked out again.
Zhou Yang had no choice but to put away the bag of spiritual stones, bowed and retreated in frustration.
He left here and went directly to Freefang City to find Liang Sanli for verification, but he came up empty-handed.
"Is it possible that he went to Tu Yancheng? Probably not. With his timid character, he would definitely not dare to go. But where would he go?"
Not seeing Liang Sanli, Zhou Yang went directly to Liu Menglong's shop. He's not here either! Could it be that these two people went out together? Zhou Yang was very depressed.
He originally wanted to ask the two of them whether the old man with clean face had left recently, but now he could only give up.
Zhou Yang rented a green wolf from Freefang City and headed straight to Beicheng.
In fact, he wanted to go directly to the Xuanfu Sect's mountain gate to inquire about training information from the outside, but after thinking about it, he decided to go to the teleportation formation that leads directly to Tu Yancheng.
There are still not many cultivators next to the teleportation formation. It seems that the security situation in Tu Yancheng has not improved much, and I don't know what happened to my own Yangtian Pavilion. He went directly back to Tu Yancheng instead of going to Wuji Hall because he no longer had any spiritual stones with him.
