"village?"
"Logically speaking, there should be no such thing as a village in Lingzhou. That ghost won't bring me to Yunzhou. Anyway, I'd better find someone to ask first." Ye Bai murmured to himself.
As soon as he was about to enter the village, he saw an old lady wearing a gray robe, with a dark face and a thin body sitting on the roadside.
His right hand was rubbing his left arm, which seemed to have been injured in a fall. There was a cart full of vegetables parked next to him.
"Old man, do you need help?"
Ye Bai enthusiastically wanted to help and asked about the situation here.
The old lady glanced at him and said directly: "No need, just go away."
"Well…"
Seeing that the old lady was not very friendly, Ye Bai could only leave angrily and planned to enter the village to have a look.
"I advise you not to go in. Strangers are not welcome here. You should leave by another way."
The old lady's voice sounded again, and Ye Bai smiled bitterly and said, "Old lady, I'm really hungry. I want to find something to eat."
"It's up to you! If you really want to go into the village, come help my old woman into the cart and give me a ride."
Ye Bai immediately stepped forward to hold the hand offered by the old lady and got on the cart, slowly entering the village.
Everyone who came and went looked at the new boy strangely. No outsiders had come to their village for many years, so this was something new.
"Mrs. Chen, I've never seen this person before. Where did he come from?"
On the right, a strong man with thick eyebrows and big eyes was looking at the newly arrived Ye Bai in front of the meat stall, and asked the old lady with a silly smile.
"Niu Er, sell your meat. What does the old woman's grandson need from you?"
Granny Chen glanced at Niu Er with disdain and signaled Ye Bai to leave. Niu Er was not annoyed and watched them go away with a silly smile.
Under the guidance of Grandma Chen, he came to a remote house, built a small yard around it, and raised some livestock.
Ye Bai stepped forward to help Old Mrs. Chen down and pushed open the door. The interior was simple, with only one bedroom on the right side of the house and groceries on the left.
Granny Chen asked: "I haven't asked you what your name is yet, baby."
"My name is Ye Bai, mother-in-law." Ye Bai replied.
"Then Xiaobai, go to the shed outside to get something to eat. There is some meat and vegetables there, so hurry up and leave after eating."
"Uh, okay, mother-in-law, I'm going to get food first. If you need anything, please call me."
Ye Bai saw that his mother-in-law didn't want to have a deep conversation. Although he was surprised by her urging, he had to fill his stomach first as the world was full of food.
He opened the door and went to the big shed next to him, picked up the few firewood left next to him and started cooking.
While cooking, Ye Bai leaned against the hut and watched the Ten-Day True Yang Jue in the jade slip.
Jade slips like these that record high-level skills have special spiritual imprints, and each time you look at them, the spiritual imprints will be consumed.
When it is completely consumed, the Ten-Day True Yang Jue will no longer exist.
The law is divided into two volumes. The first volume records exercises and several spells, and the second volume records a magical power.
Ye Bai can only practice the first level at present. If he succeeds, a spiritual fire will form in his Dantian.
As for spells, he can currently only practice the low-level spirit-possessing hand, which can attach the spiritual fire in his body to any object to increase its lethality, but it won't last long with his spiritual power.
As for the other low-level spell, which is difficult to use, even if it is successfully practiced, it will be difficult to release it based on his strength, and the magical power is not something he can currently access.
"The Divine Wrath Dharma of your Dharma Art is too ordinary, and you can't practice this Dharma at your current state. I have a way for you to visualize the Dharma in advance, Second Master." The Second Master didn't whet his appetite and directly told him the method. .
"That is to use the essence and blood of Taiyi to carve its essence into your sea of consciousness, and visualize the charm of the three-legged golden crow."
As soon as the second master finished speaking, a bell rang, and streaks of blood mist rose up in the sea of consciousness, forming a three-legged golden crow that illuminated it.
The moment the Golden Crow appeared, a black-gold light flowed over the sea of consciousness. Its feathers exuded a sharp aura, and it spread out with an aura of royal dignity. It was neutral and peaceful, making people feel convinced.
There is a man behind the Golden Crow, whose appearance cannot be seen clearly. He is wearing a solemn black imperial robe, decorated with golden patterns and patterns, and is solemn and majestic.
"Second Master, why is the Golden Crow different from the legendary golden color?" Ye Bai looked at the black-gold Golden Crow in the sea of consciousness.
"That's bullshit. The real three-legged golden crows are all black and gold in color. It's just spread by some people who don't understand." The second master curled his lips and said disdainfully.
At this time, Ye Bai was stunned when he looked at the golden and black dharma image that was not clear in the sea of consciousness. The charm flowing through the body of the Dharma constantly stimulates the spirit.
Within a few minutes, my eyes suddenly felt sore, and my consciousness felt slightly stinging.
"Okay, don't look at it. Your spiritual consciousness can't bear it after watching it for too long. Normally, you can only practice your spiritual consciousness and visualize when you reach the Foundation Establishment Realm. But because of your bloodline, the visualization map formed by the essence and blood of Taiyi It won't hurt your soul." The second master's voice also interrupted his slightly groggy head.
"Second Master, with my strength in the Qi training period, can I also enhance my consciousness through visualization?" Ye Bai then asked.
"If you kid can visualize the essence and spirit of the Dharma, not only will your spiritual power be improved, but you will also be able to realize your own magical powers. Aren't you very excited?" the second master said seductively.
After listening to the second master's words, his heart was already boiling with excitement. He wanted to visualize it all the time, but he also knew that with his current strength, he could only try to watch it every day.
Ye Bai also took the opportunity to ask some basic questions about cultivation, and the second master gave decisive answers.
"I don't know. Don't ask me such low-level questions. I don't know either."
Ye Bai stayed there with a confused look on his face, and then said speechlessly: "You are an innate treasure from the prehistoric era, but you don't even know how to practice qi?"
"You kid don't understand anything. Taiyi was born in the realm of immortals. All I encountered were innate gods. I understand nothing about low-level realms such as qi refining. Do I need to understand? Otherwise, why would I ask you to join the sect?"
The second master felt that he was insulted and roared in Ye Bai's head.
"No, no, no, I was wrong." Ye Bai immediately begged for mercy very spinelessly.
"Okay, let's stop making trouble. Ye Bai, I have sensed the presence or absence of demonic energy since I entered here. Please pay more attention to yourself and leave as soon as you can."
The second master suddenly warned him to pay attention with a serious expression. Ye Bai asked in confusion, "Devil energy? Do you mean there is something evil here?"
"I don't know, but at least I have been here." The second master said solemnly.
"I'll leave immediately after finding out what happened."
Ye Bai thought about this slightly weird village. If his life was at stake, he might as well leave as soon as possible.
The second master nodded and then reminded: "Tonight, I will help you inject the essence and blood into your heart for nourishment. You have reached the peak of the fourth level of Qi training, and you may break through at any time. If you have more strength, you will be safer in this village. .”
Ye Bai naturally agreed happily. Not long after, a strong aroma of rice came out from the iron pot. Ye Bai also cooked the vegetables beside him and was about to call Granny Chen out for dinner.
"Mother-in-law, the food is ready."
"I know." The mother-in-law's hoarse voice came from the room.
Not long after, Grandma Chen opened the door and came out to the greenhouse, looking at the fragrant food. She praised, "The food you cooked at such a young age is not bad."
"My mother-in-law has given me a reward. You should try it first."
Ye Bai prepared the dishes and chopsticks and went to greet his mother-in-law for dinner. He also asked about the surrounding situation.
According to Granny Chen, this Longmian Village belongs to the Yunzhou area. Yunzhou is a territory under the jurisdiction of the Qin Empire and even the neighboring Qingzhou.
In addition to being guarded by various cities and towns, the empire also has large and small sects and clans within the territory. Generally, the major forces are basically independent of the imperial power. The nearest city is Tianxiang City, five hundred miles away.
Their Longmian Village is not even considered to be on the edge of the empire, and no one cares about it, let alone looks after it.
"Sure enough, we came to the human race area!" Ye Bai sighed.
He felt helpless at this time and then asked the doubt in his heart: "Mother-in-law, I see that you have been urging me to leave. Is there anything you are hiding?"
Granny Chen put down the bowl and chopsticks, sighed and said, "You should finish your meal and leave as soon as possible. It's not that my mother-in-law doesn't want to take you in. Knowing too much will not do you any good."
Seeing that Granny Chen didn't want to say anything, Ye Bai didn't ask any more questions and ate the meal quietly.
After eating, he also took the initiative to clean up the dishes. After doing that, Ye Bai came up and asked Granny Chen: "Mother-in-law, do you think I can rest in this cowshed for one night? I'm a little tired from traveling during this period. I'll do it tomorrow morning." Leave. Do you think that’s okay?”
"Okay! The old lady still has a quilt at home. You can use it to cover it in the cold night." Granny Chen didn't say anything more, she just held the cup and her eyes were dull.
Ye Bai knew that this kind-hearted mother-in-law was hiding something from him, but the main reason he stayed here was to find a place so that he could absorb the essence and blood tonight. Although he was curious, his life was still important.
