Chapter 65 The secret path and the history of the world of cultivation

"My eldest brother and I were very excited at the time, because even the masters of the Golden Core Stage couldn't enter the inner sea of ​​Falling Star Sea. If we discovered a genius treasure, we would have no worries from now on. Unfortunately, the end of this seaway is a desolate island. , there is nothing, and other sea channels are full of strong winds and waves, and there are even space cracks. The two of us would never dare to explore." Yu Cheng's eyes were a little unfocused, as if he was recalling the situation at that time.

Shi Xuan did not interrupt him and continued to listen.

"Hey, if I could have discovered a genius treasure at that time, I wouldn't be in this situation now. Disappointed, we carefully returned to the sea beyond the Falling Star according to the sea path in our memory. Unfortunately, I felt very unbalanced. , other people's adventures are magical weapons, elixirs, spiritual stones, and exercises. There is always one thing, but our adventures have nothing. The more we think about it, the more angry we become. Suddenly, we start to do some business without capital. The Grandmaster can't enter the inner sea of ​​Falling Star Sea. If we make a mistake and hide inside, we can really rest easy. Once the storm subsides, it won't be too late to come out. "Hehe, this is actually the benefit of the adventure." Yu Cheng thought about it now. A look of resentment.

"Hey, it's just that you guys have bad intentions. You will always end up on the edge of a knife when you do these business without capital. Aren't you afraid of being killed on the spot, or being chased on the way to escape?" Shi Xuan was extremely dissatisfied with this line of thinking. I beg to differ.

"Senior, you have too little experience. Even if you hunt monsters and collect elixirs and ores, many people will die. You have to take some risks in everything you do. There is no way to be safe and gain a lot. The competition within the big family is also very strict. Besides, we choose the target after careful observation. We only do it after we have no background and the strength is below the Qi Entrainment Period. At that time, we had two low-grade magic weapons and a lot of spiritual stones. If it were normal, excluding the training expenses, it would take at least seven or eight years for a few of us to save up." Yu Cheng looked like he had a lot of experience in life.

Regarding Yu Cheng's sophistry, Shi Xuan didn't want to argue. He was not his master. There was no need to teach him the principles of xinxing cultivation. He didn't have the perseverance to persevere. He just wanted to take shortcuts and have adventures. Even if he had the courage to face death, it would only be ten thousand. The difference between being killed after one crime and being killed after nine crimes is just that.

"Then why did you target the Qingyu Tower?" Regarding the secret passage, it is better to give Yu Cheng a heads-up first, lest he think that he is impatient to find out and come up with some conditions. Anyway, he still has the foundation for soul-searching skills.

Yu Cheng was a little surprised when he saw that Shi Xuan didn't ask about Haido, but he still answered honestly: "Because Qingyu Tower is dependent on the boss, and its own strength is not strong. There are only two masters in the air-entraining stage. When the boss's guard strength is weak, , which is naturally when their guard strength is weak, and they charge money first and then stay. As long as Jiang Ning takes over the job of delivering hot water, even if no one is found the next day, he will just think that he left early in the morning. If you are short of things, you won’t ask the guard guarding the door if the guest has really left.”

"That's it." Shi Xuan suddenly realized, no wonder Ming Qingyue had scolded An Yunhai just now. If it were towards forces with other backgrounds, it should be an accusation, not a scolding.

"Well, didn't you just ask Shi why he suspected you? Shi is just very strange. Shi is going to stay at Qingyu House. You strongly recommended it. Mr. Li is not sure. If Shi goes to Dingdong Mansion after dinner What? They are taking a lot of risks in the backyard of Qingyu House. Deacon Zhang said that there are many evil people in Fang City recently. You only said that Fang City is the safest place and did not mention at all why there are so many evil people in Fang City. Instead, I just emphasized that it happened occasionally. I didn’t think so beforehand, after all, the one you recommended was also a big restaurant, but after thinking about it, it was really suspicious, so I specifically asked those two people, and I was sure that you were in the same group.”

Yu Cheng nodded: "This way I can die with peace of mind. I just recommend people to go to Qingyu Tower, and I won't care about the rest. No one will come to arrest me so quickly, and the interrogation will take a while. From now on A quarter of an hour after I leave, if no one comes back or there is a big noise here, I will hide outside Fang City and then find a way to get to Falling Star Sea."

"I say you are smart, but you are really smart. You have fully considered the circumstances under which everyone is least wary, and the arrangements are very orderly." Shi Xuan shook his head as he spoke: "I say you are stupid, but you are really stupid. You are just prying around. He didn’t even know the usefulness of my magic weapon or the strength of my small magical powers, so he started to act in a hurry! "And I also have the Taoist sword of Taiyin Lung Yang Geng Jin Jian Qi. The anger is not used yet.

Yu Cheng could only say sadly: "Isn't there not enough time? Senior, you are going to Dingdong Mansion tomorrow, and you have a high-grade magic weapon in your hand. After we finish this vote, we will leave immediately. We won't have to go back to Dingdong Mansion for a few years." We are taking risks, so we can only work hard. Don’t those senior monks also have adventures when they encounter danger and work hard?”

"It's so powerful that it makes you stupid, and you don't regret dying." Shi Xuan sighed. He only saw those who had adventures after a fight, and those who died after a fight were a hundred times a thousand times more. Besides, others were in danger and had to fight. A handful, for someone who finds danger and fights by himself, ten lives are not enough to kill him.

After almost finishing asking about other things, Shi Xuan asked about the seaway. He had a lot of secrets in his body. If he needed to escape someday, it would be a good place to go.

Yu Cheng strangely did not put forward any conditions, but told Shi Xuan the details of Haidao with a sincere face. Seeing Shi Xuan's doubts, he said: "I just don't want to suffer the pain of the soul-searching technique, and besides my eldest brother , Others don’t know about this sea channel because they haven’t had the chance to use it. Haha, they are the truly vicious people who dare to do business without capital. "

Shi Xuan still quietly activated the soul-searching talisman. Regarding Hai Dao's problem, he had better use this to be more at ease. Otherwise, if Yu Cheng secretly changes some details, then he will be ineffective every day and the earth and the earth will not respond.

Sure enough, under the soul-searching technique, Yu Cheng answered Shi Xuan's question again. He quietly changed some details about the sea route. Shi Xuan found out. It didn't matter. He was going to die anyway. If he didn't find out, then forget it. It is to avenge oneself. Shi Xuan asked about other things, and there was no difference from what he had explained before. However, he could not answer some questions. He thought it was the brain damage caused by the soul-searching technique.

Because Yu Cheng was seriously injured, he died shortly after being subjected to the Soul Searching Technique. Shi Xuan sighed, this man had good thoughts and methods, but he used them in the wrong way, so he ended up like this.

After pushing open the stone door and waiting outside for a while, Ming Qingyue and the guards came out. The three of them confirmed the news about the interrogation just now, eliminated some false news, and almost restored the entire process. Ming Qingyue became angry and said: "Qingyu House must change to live in first and collect money later. What will it look like!"

Shi Xuan and several guards wisely did not mention that Ming Qingyue was not very skilled in presiding over the Fangshi guards for the first time, and Ming Qingyue also pretended to be stupid and did not mention it.

In addition, seeing that Ming Qingyue and several guards did not talk about Haidao, and understanding that Yu Cheng said that only he and Li Daoren knew about this matter, Shi Xuan buried this secret in his heart and used it when it was useful. .

Ming Qingyue also wanted to re-examine the arrangements for Fangshi's guards because of this incident, so she only sent one escort to take Shi Xuan back to Qingyu Tower.

This guard was a dull and honest man, not good at talking. Shi Xuan chatted a few words along the way, but he would only reply kindly, and could not get any useful information, except that he knew that his name was Fang Tangjing.

Fang Tangjing accompanied Shi Xuan to the courtyard where he wanted to live, and checked the courtyard carefully before nodding and leaving, making the middle-aged monk from Qingyu Tower who followed him a little embarrassed.

The middle-aged monk raised his hand and said to Shi Xuan: "Fellow Taoist Shi, my host An was called to the house by Miss Ming, so I had to come to greet you. This old man is Lu Renjia, who is responsible for the daily affairs of the Qingyu Tower. What happened today was really negligent on our part.”

In any case, Qingyulou admitted his mistake very well, and Shi Xuan felt comfortable when he saw it: "Mr. Lu's words are serious. No one could have imagined that they are so crazy."

A smile appeared on Lu Renjia's face: "Fellow Taoist Shi has had an exciting day today. I think you must be tired. I won't bother you anymore."

Shi Xuan just needed to take a look at the jade slips, so he sent Lu Renjia out of the yard and went back to his room. He took out the jade slips from his storage bag, silently recited the incantation, and used some visualization skills to bring the gods to life. I threw myself into it. But it is not like the Qi-entraining stage, where spiritual awareness has been formed and can be viewed directly.

The first part of the Jade Slip is almost the same as Pirate Quanzi, but there is a lot more content at the end. After the destruction of the ancient times, the next step is the Middle Ages. The few seniors who survived the destruction and above the Yuanshen level re-established the sect inheritance. Although They are not the Golden Immortal Taoist ancestors and cannot restore the entire world, but it is easy to gather spiritual energy and reconcile yin and yang within their own Taoist sect.

But those small sects were in misery. When they were in their lowest period, they didn't even have jade slips. They could only rely on making paper that could be preserved for a long time to write down their exercises, spells, formations, etc.

In ancient times, the heaven and earth were full of spiritual energy, and spiritual stone mines were formed in many places. After the destruction, the spiritual energy passed away, and not a single one remained. On the contrary, the spiritual stone mine was already a real thing and would not be lost, so it became a spiritual practice world. As for the currency of the period, the person who wrote the jade slip did not know what to use above Yuanshen.

Because there are no golden immortals who can become the Hedao stage, the remaining seniors above the Yuan Shen from the ancient times either left this vast world to find their own opportunities, or they fell into disaster one after another. One hundred thousand years ago, The last Yang Shen Zhenren fell under the catastrophe, and the entire world of cultivation entered the modern era.

In modern times, after hundreds of thousands of years of recovery in the Middle Ages, the outer reaches of the Western Wilderness finally calmed down, so the monks went there to look for opportunities. Most of the three sects, one religion and the four major sects were formed during this period. The remaining sects are sects inherited from the Middle Ages.
