Lin Yan took the wine and appetizers from the kitchen, took the bowls and chopsticks, walked to Lin Tiannan's study, pushed the door open, walked to the table, and opened the bottle of wine.
As if smelling the smell of wine, Lin Tiannan put down the book in his hand, smelled the smell and walked to the table, smiling and saying: "Excellent Yunzhou Shao."
"It took me a long time to get it from Butler Zhou." Lin Yan said with a smile, "It's been a long time since we drank together like this."
The last time father and son drank, it was in Yuncheng.
After drinking for three times and talking in the usual way, Lin Yan, a little tipsy, whispered: "We will set off tomorrow."
Lin Tiannan's movement of raising the glass suddenly stopped, and then he drank another bowl of strong wine and said: "Time flies so fast." His eyes were red and he looked at Lin Yan motionlessly, "You have grown up. .”
"People always have to grow up." Lin Yan said with a smile, "But I will be back."
"So, I hope I can have a younger brother when I come back." Lin Yan smiled teasingly. Lin Tiannan was also amused and said, "Okay, brother. I will arrange this matter tomorrow after you leave."
Lin Yan's eyes narrowed with laughter.
"It's getting late, go back to bed." Lin Tiannan took the wine and said, "I have to go on the road early tomorrow morning. Manly man, stop saying these sensational words. If you are really afraid of leaving me, you are in Lingxiao Tianzong gives you and me more face, earns more anger, and embarrasses me less."
"Okay!" Lin Yan nodded and said with a smile, "I won't embarrass our old Lin family."
When he left the study, Lin Yan was still a little drunk. Although he didn't have the power to drink, but with his current physical body, he would not be completely drunk after a jar of wine.
When he returned to the small courtyard, Lin Yan saw Dugu Cheng standing quietly outside the door, waiting for Lin Yan to return.
"Senior Sword Demon, it's so late and you haven't gone to rest yet?" Lin Yan circulated his Qi slightly, and the dizziness in his mind suddenly disappeared.
"Coming here so late, I just want to know one thing. I want to hear it from your own mouth." Dugu City seemed to feel a little lonely as he said.
Lin Yan smiled and said: "There is no need to be polite, senior, it's okay to speak frankly." Dugu Cheng said seriously: "A month ago, you once said that on top of the myth of martial arts, there is this innate realm. Is this true or false?"
In the past month, Dugu Cheng has also taken several body tempering pills, and his cultivation has made great progress. Now he has reached the peak of the martial arts myth and feels the shackles of his realm. If it were not for the shackles of this realm, Dugu City would not have thought of what Lin Yan once said so quickly.
Lin Yan once said that in the myth of martial arts, after the tenth level of acquired heaven, one needs to open up the two meridians of Ren and Du, then build a bridge between heaven and earth, lead directly to Niwan Palace, and open the gate of heaven. After experiencing the vitality of heaven and earth filling the body once, one can successfully break through to the innate world. realm.
"I'm not lying to you." Lin Yan said with a smile, "You can indeed reach such a level after practicing martial arts to the peak, but it is not easy to reach such a level. You should still have the power of spiritual roots in your body. If you want to reach this level, Innately, at least the power of the spiritual roots needs to be removed first and the two meridians of Ren and Du can be opened, otherwise, the bridge between heaven and earth cannot be formed."
This is also the confusion that Lin Yan is currently facing. The two channels of Ren and Du in his body are entrenched by the power of spiritual roots, which prevents him from breaking through to the ninth level of acquired heaven. If he can't think of a way to solve it, he can only find other ways to remove the spiritual roots in his body. Stronger.
Nowadays, you still need to go to Lingxiao Tianzong first to find a method to understand the true way of cultivating immortals. If there is a way to practice immortal martial arts together, then everyone will be happy. If there is no way, then you can only abandon the immortal way and use Lin Yan's own method. The power to remove spiritual roots.
Hearing this, Dugu Cheng seemed to have made some important decision, and suddenly smiled slightly and said: "Lin Yan, although you are a younger disciple of Jianghu, you are much more promising than me. Thirty years ago, because Due to my age, I missed the sword test competition and had no chance to meet the immortal way. However, I became even more determined to become stronger because of this. I wanted to transcend the boundaries of mortals and set foot on that almost impossible realm. Thirty years later, I was still in the mythical realm of martial arts. Outside wandering, it was you who allowed me to successfully enter this field, so I believe that you have your own opinions on martial arts, and I also believe in the martial arts you said, so I have thought about it a lot, and still want to give it a try."
Before he finished speaking, he plopped down and knelt directly on the ground, lowering his head. Lin Yan was shocked and said: "Senior, what do you mean by this? Get up quickly!"
Dugu Cheng shook his head and said, "I hope you will let me be your follower and follow you."
Lin Yan was slightly startled. Although Lin Yan looked down upon Dugu Cheng's martial arts skills, at least in the martial arts of the Jin Dynasty, Dugu Cheng could be regarded as the real number one. With such a noble status, he could actually give birth to such a person. Thoughts, he smiled and said: "Senior, I am just a junior in the world. How can I deserve to be so valued by you? You'd better get up first."
Dugu Cheng shook his head and said, "If you don't promise me, I will never get up."
Lin Yan was slightly stunned, looking at Dugu Cheng's determined expression of not hitting the south wall and not looking back, as if he had seen outside the small town, where he was kneeling on the ground full of corpses, begging his master to teach him the true martial arts.
The difference is that at the beginning, he longed for power because he was unable to protect the people he wanted to protect. Although he gradually developed a strong desire to set foot on the pinnacle of martial arts, at least his original intention to set foot on martial arts was just for revenge. As for Dugu City, although they have never had a glimpse of martial arts, in an environment like Jin Dynasty where martial arts almost does not exist, it is really shocking that they can have such thoughts.
In a month, Lin Yan could only see Dugu City clearly.
Only the word "martial arts idiot" can be used to describe it.
"Have you really thought about it?" Lin Yan sighed and said, "This road is full of hardships. It may be more difficult than becoming an immortal. Are you sure you can persevere?"
Dugu Heng raised his head and looked at Lin Yan with resolute eyes, piercing his eyes.
"No regrets in this life!"
Lin Yan showed a gratified smile and said loudly: "Okay, since you have thought about it, I will not be stingy. Of course, this follower is still exempted. I, Lin Yan, have never needed any followers. If you really If you are determined to move forward on this path, then how about you call me Master?"
Dugu Cheng was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled, not caring that Lin Yan was much younger than him, and said happily: "Master, please accept my disciple's bow!" After saying that, he made three "dong dong dong" sounds and kowtowed heavily. Three rings.
Lin Yan did not stop him. When Dugu Cheng raised his head, he immediately said: "In my lineage, you are the only disciple for the time being. Since you worship me as your master, you naturally want to know the name of the ancestor, who is also my master. "
Dugu Cheng said in surprise: "Master, there is still a master?" How could this master teach such a knowledgeable and talented warrior like Lin Yan? What kind of magical powers does this master have?
"That's natural." Lin Yan said with admiration, "My master is Shura Yechen. It was him who led me into the martial arts gate. It's a pity that I have little ability and can't help him. Okay. Without further ado, you can take this skill first and try to practice it first. However, before I say that, practicing this skill will make your strength drop by two small levels, which is ten levels the day after tomorrow. Of course, you don’t have to worry when you reach the eighth level the day after tomorrow, which is the level of top masters. Your strength will actually increase as a result. After you successfully transform, carefully study the spirit transformation chapter of this technique, and wait until you reach Lingxiaotian. Zong, I will guide you in how to transform spirits with true energy."
"Yes!" Dugu Cheng took the technique and took a closer look. The three characters "Qing Yuan Gong" were written on the cover. Judging from the traces of pen and ink, it seemed that it had been copied recently.
"Master...Master, have you been ready for a long time?" Dugu Cheng was surprised. Apparently this book of exercises was written recently by Lin Yan.
"I guessed a bit." Lin Yan chuckled and said, "Tomorrow you will go to Lingxiao Tianzong with me. You will be a handyman disciple for the time being. When the time is right, I will let you follow me."
"Yes!" Dugu Cheng nodded.
Lin Yan nodded with satisfaction and said: "Get up." When Dugu City saluted again, he stood up slowly and continued: "One more thing, in the future it is better to forget about the top limits of first-rate, second-rate, and third-rate. Those don’t make sense anymore.”
"Yes!" Dugu Cheng responded.
"Okay, the night is already deep. We have to get up early tomorrow and head to Lingxiao Tianzong. That will be our new starting point. Let's go back and rest early."
"Then I'll go down first." Dugu Cheng held the Qingyuan Gong technique and walked away excitedly.
Although Lin Yan advised him to rest early, he also knew that Dugu Cheng would be too excited to sleep tonight.
After Dugu Cheng left, Ji Yanran's figure appeared behind Lin Yan. Lin Yan was also keenly aware of Ji Yanran's figure. He turned around and said with a smile: "We have almost everything we need to do. Where are we going to start tomorrow?"
"At sunrise." Ji Yanran said calmly, "Are you going to take this old man with you to Lingxiao Tianzong?"
Lin Yan nodded and said, "Yes, didn't I say before that I can bring people with me, but they can only serve as handyman disciples, so just let Dugu Cheng stay among the handyman disciples." Ji Yanran sighed and said: " He enjoys all the fame in the secular world, but in the world of immortality, he is just a mortal with some brute strength. As a handyman disciple, he will only be bullied and never get ahead."
Lin Yan looked at Ji Yanran quietly, with a mocking smile on his face, and said: "It seems that immortal cultivators are indeed very different from warriors."
Warriors are born with an obsession to keep working hard and refining their hearts for everything they want. A strong warrior must be lonely, but a strong warrior must also have something he wants to protect. This thing is a warrior The reverse scales will cause anger when touched. Even someone as cunning as Xiao Qianjue would go berserk because his son Xiao Che was hurt.
But immortal cultivators seem to be completely opposite. As long as something that can be protected is tainted with the word "mundane", they will avoid it.
Because they are afraid that if they give too much, their relatives and friends will be wiped out by time, and all their efforts will be in vain, which finally shakes the Taoist heart. In order to stabilize the Taoist heart, they choose to be indifferent and stay away from all worldly people.
This kind of path may seem powerful, but it is vulnerable to attack. This kind of path is not what Lin Yan wants to follow.
Ji Yanran seemed to understand the meaning of his words. She was slightly startled and said, "What do you mean..."
Lin Yan shook his head and turned around and entered the room, leaving only his back and his voice as plain as water.
"It's late at night, go to bed early."
