After dawn, four more figures appeared in the vast mountains. The first ones were Li Xiu and Li Ruocheng, followed by the withered old man and Qian Buque.
Since the altar of our ancestors is a mobile teleportation array, without coordinates, the phantom of the void will inevitably deviate from the prediction, and this is indeed the case. Li Xiu and Li Xiu originally decided to continue going north to find Tianhuo Island to worship the Milky Way Map and Jiuding 900 miles away. However, in order to avoid being tracked by Tongba, they activated the altar twice and were teleported to the vast mountains. They did not dare to go back. For the third teleportation, we only walked through the deep mountains and old forests, heading north. There was no need to waste any energy, and we had to regulate our breathing and heal our injuries along the way, so it took us three days to cover nearly 200 miles. Otherwise, with Li Xiu's speed, it would only take an hour or two to reach the 900-mile distance.
In the past three days, with the help of Li Xiu, Li Ruocheng has recovered half a dozen of his power of success. The withered old man has been slower, his spirit is still sluggish, but he has recovered as before despite not being short of money, and his cultivation has improved a lot.
On this day, they crossed a Liusha River and then headed north. On the way, they obviously felt a lot more smoke and smoke. They also saw many villages, some of which were more prosperous, with shops, medicine shops, blacksmith shops, and teahouses. Restaurants, etc., are a lively scene. From time to time, some strong men of the Golden Core stage will appear in the village. They are all the kind of burly men who live under the edge of a knife. They exude the smell of blood. Business travelers wearing different clothes can also be seen. Contacts and so on. Li Xiu has devoted himself to training since he came to Wufeng. He has never been exposed to this kind of scene again, but it gave him a different experience for a while.
"Li Xiu, you said you didn't kill my master, but you refused to let me go. Why?" Qian Buque has been released from the ban, but Li Xiu asked him not to leave for the time being. He knew how powerful Li Xiu was. , dare not resist, fearing for his life. However, this does not mean that he will obey. They used bad words along the way, which made Li Ruocheng even have murderous intentions. If this kind of person were in the past, she would definitely use her magic power immediately to suck all his true energy in one breath. Leave him a piece of human skin!
The atmosphere was ruined. Li Xiu also condensed his eyes slightly and said: "There is no shortage of money. If I killed Elder Zhang, I would not be able to keep you until now. Why can't you understand this?"
"Hmph!" Qian Buque said unmoved: "Don't think I don't know, you just want to get my creation, and you are the same as that fellow tyrant!"
"There is no shortage of money. Don't talk about anything else. At this moment, you are disdainful of that fellow tyrant. Why did you kneel to him in the first place? Become your teacher? I don't know that your kneeling changed your luck and caused losses. It's too big." Li Xiudao: "If I'm not wrong, in the Dharma-ending era, if you want to break the barrier of life and death, fighting for luck is a good way. Not only Tongba is doing this kind of thing, Kuang Ruoxu is also a master of this way. Kuang Ruoxu, in particular, participated in the rise and fall of dynasties. Later, he incarnated in various identities in the secular world and provoked disputes among some powerful hidden ancient sects. He even did not let go of some plutocrats and nobles. The Jiang family of Baima Lake This is the best example. There is no shortage of money. If you didn't have a good master, I wouldn't care about your life or death at all. I let you follow me. That's because I have a way to resurrect Zhang Luzhi. At least I can make Zhang Luzhi come back to life. When he recovers his spiritual body, the so-called grievances between you and me will be resolved on their own. If you want to go to Tianzhu Peak to find your fellow tyrants again, I will never stop you!"
"That's what you said!" Qian Buque was indignant! He actually felt that what Li Xiu said made sense. Since he became a disciple of Tong Ba, his practice was no longer as smooth as it was at the beginning.
"How sure are you of what Fellow Taoist said just now?" The wizened old man beside him was not an ordinary person, and his vision was not comparable to that of someone with a lot of money. His eyes lit up and he became very interested.
"Ha." Li Xiu said with a smile: "Brother Dao, if you don't have anything else on hand for now, it won't take long for me to figure it out for myself here!"
The wizened old man stroked his palm and smiled and said: "Then I'm not polite. It's rare for a fellow Taoist to be so generous and willing to teach you in the last days of cultivation. It's really rare!"
"Oh? How do you say this?" Li Xiu became interested.
The wizened old man said: "I think back then, when my life was exhausted, I realized the way of reincarnation when my family was rich. However, there were still some shortcomings. I needed five spiritual objects to protect me when I lost my way in reincarnation. I traveled far to the Western Regions. After searching so hard, I lost all my money and received so many cold looks. My treasure was like dung, no match for a lion's mouth. In the end, I still lacked something. In desperation, I could only take the risk of reincarnation and wasted hundreds of years before awakening. And know the past life.”
Li Xiudao: "Brother Taoist, did you understand the reason before trading with others?"
The wizened old man said: "Yes, I went there just for those few things. I will naturally understand the reason. Thinking about it now, although I had hundreds of years of cultivation at that time, I was practicing hard in seclusion. I was not deeply involved in the world, and human beings were far away. Far more terrifying than our demon clan, if you really have to be serious, an adult tiger is far from a match for an eight-year-old child."
"Every time you take a bite, you gain wisdom. Brother Tao lives deep in Baihu Ridge. It seems that he has a new understanding of human nature. This will be very beneficial to you in the age of the end of the Dharma!" Li Xiudao: "In the prosperous age, the strong are respected. , the law is simple; but it is different in the end of the world. The way of heaven is suppressed, and even the most talented people are far from being able to reach the state of destroying a country with a wave of their hands. If you want to get more resources, you can only use your own scheming and means. This is the current situation!"
The wizened old man was surprised for a while and then said: "Yes, yes, I didn't expect that you are so young. Not only are you profound in cultivation, but your understanding of people's hearts is also extraordinary. Then I will work with you first to see what luck you mentioned. What is it?"
"Luck is a mythical thing, but it actually exists. It ranges from the fortune of a country to the fortune of a family, or it can be as small as a peak or a soil. It integrates the rise and fall of humanities, the prevalence of laws, the gestation and nourishment of Feng Shui, etc. It is extremely spiritual. As the saying goes, outstanding people and places are unique. It was not created by chance." Li Xiu said.
The wizened old man said: "So, this mysterious thing comes from the void?"
Li Xiudao: "The so-called void is the law of heaven and earth. Our practice seems to go against heaven and change destiny, but in fact it is still within this law. If we find the method, this destiny is not void. I think the void we have achieved is void." With our current vision, it is still difficult to distinguish its essential attributes. For the time being, I regard it as a foreign object, not a product of the time and space where we grew up. Although it is difficult to confirm this with my current cultivation level, You can only cultivate what you can, and for the time being, we don’t have the ability to confirm its origin.”
The wizened old man said: "Your idea is very good. I have always wondered. Since ancient times, all living creatures have been divided into superiors and inferiors from birth. For example, they are obviously born from the same child, but they are divided into intelligent and stupid. Ordinary people are divided into intelligent and stupid. People can also give birth to the son of Qilin, who is blessed by heaven and has a high destiny. Just like you humans, even in the prosperous age, the vast majority are still mortals, and those with spiritual roots are still only one in ten thousand. This is what you call the power of the void, hidden in the void, mysterious and mysterious, and can only be touched after reaching the spiritual silence stage."
Li Xiu also agreed with the wizened old man's doubts and thought it was not just random thoughts. Even wise men only know the so-called way of survival and promote the method of living in the world. Where does life come from? Why are people's qualifications naturally divided into three, six or nine? Even though Li Xiu came from the era of science and technology, he didn't have a clear concept about this, because this kind of inquiry has gone beyond the structure of genes. Genes can be copied and modified, but where does the inspiration come from? The fundamental question has never been answered.
Li Xiu believed that in the prosperous age, there should be such a code. However, in the Age of Ending Dharma, not only the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was almost exhausted, but also human wisdom was gradually fascinated by the five turbidities. To put it simply, it became complicated and many falsehoods appeared. Holy, there are a large number of apocryphal books circulating in the world, and they are respected as supreme treasures. However, the road is the most simple, and the road is not the details, because the details are the devil, and the devil is best at tempting people.
In the past, when Li Xiu was practicing, he liked to pick out details and was obsessed with the birth and death of the six consciousnesses, thinking that was the state of losing oneself, but in fact it was not. In fact, the essence of dual cultivation of life and life is nothing more than four words: "Dharma, Jue, Fire, and Condition". But if we have to break it down, even though there are tens of thousands of apocryphal books, there is no end to it. In the end, the simple and easy-to-understand principles are gradually covered by the dust of pearls and tend to be narrow.
While the two were talking, they saw a majestic pass appearing in front of them. Li Xiu's eyes narrowed and he was very surprised and said: "Huh? Where did this pass come from?"
It turned out that everyone had seen the pass when looking from a distance, and they could also clearly see three big characters: "Guyang Pass".
Li Xiudao: "It seems that the teleportation array has moved us a long way away from the Beiming Sea. Although I have never been to Shangbei County, I know that Guyang Pass is the barrier to Shangbei County and the entrance to Bule Country. The location of the second great pass.”
Li Ruocheng explained: "I originally thought that the altar was a short- to medium-distance teleportation array, but I didn't expect it to shift so far under the phantom of the void. If I use it again in the future, I must first decipher all the teleportation arrays on the altar. Only the Yao pattern will do. Although I have walked this road once, I never imagined that we would end up here, and I didn’t think too much about it.”
"Perhaps you are indeed careless, otherwise with our level of cultivation, photographic memory has become instinctive. We are traveling on the north road, crossing the Liusha River, and passing through several villages. Even if we are not familiar with the geographical environment, we have only been here once. , how come you don’t even have the slightest impression?” Li Xiu sighed.
Li Ruocheng said quickly: "Li Xiu, you have to believe me. I didn't lie to you. If you think that I brought you here deliberately to harm you, then we should change our ways now."
"It doesn't have to be so troublesome." Li Xiudao: "I don't doubt that the teleportation deviation was an accident, but it's impossible for you not to know that this road is the road to Guyang Pass. You should also understand that no matter how you explain it, it can't be justified. , but you still brought us to Guyang Pass, what exactly do you want to do, you might as well say it clearly now, you and I share weal and woe and live life and death together, how can I not have this trust?"
"Actually, it's not a big deal." Li Ruocheng showed a rare feminine attitude and said rather coquettishly: "As you know, women always want to be more beautiful. Since we are all here, why not buy some necessities for daily life? , do you understand what I’m saying?”
"Well, I was careless." Li Xiu understood as soon as he heard it, and was immediately embarrassed. Li Ruocheng said clearly that he loves beauty, but how could Li Xiu not understand the implication? Although Li Ruocheng has advanced cultivation, she is still a normal young woman with a normal menstrual cycle. Unless she has cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage, she would have had space magic tools for those necessities before, so she must have been fully prepared, but later on, the space magic tools The weapon was destroyed, and they followed Li Xiu along the way. They were wearing clothes that Li Xiu had brought from the village, and they were still patched. They didn’t even have shoes. Even if they were at their level and could not care about these, the shoes were just a piece of clothing. Planting decorations has no real effect, but this is no excuse for Li Xiu's carelessness.
