Main text Chapter 72: Cultivating civilization (I)
Invisible footprints, along with the ground shaking, slowly extended forward.
It seemed slow, but with Li Zongyuan's size, one step was dozens of meters.
In a car, a middle-aged man raised his sunglasses, his right eye was red, as if he had built a bridge between the world and the demon world. After a long time, he turned his head and smiled at the female companion beside him: "A demon moving, nothing to see, probably can't stay in Mingshui Province anymore."
The female companion looked into his eyes, smiled and patted his shoulder with her hand: "Don't use this heavenly eye, the Tiandao Sect is all elementary versions, it's scary to look at in the middle of the night."
"Moving..." In front of the three big words Panshan City, a policeman sighed, turned around and continued to maintain order: "These days, our lives are getting harder and harder."
Li Zongyuan didn't pay attention to all this, but walked on the mountain in a show of force. Anyway, ordinary people can't see it, but others can see it. He still has to be protected when he moves, what is he afraid of?
To say he was not afraid was not entirely true. He was…very afraid of the man in his stomach.
He would definitely be much faster if he ran at full speed than he was now. His current speed was almost like a walk. However, if he bumped into the other person—the other person would be unhappy—he would be finished.
This infinite cycle concept made him like this leisurely strolling life very much.
And the ambition to get out of control was hidden in his heart.
Xu Yangyi, Zhou Tingting, and Little Wolf were all in his stomach. It must be said that this monster was a very enjoyable monster. The small space he opened up, a place where every inch of land was valuable, was not planted with condensed dew grass, but a stream was introduced, and a wooden house of about 80 square meters was built.
Zhou Tingting and Little Wolf were playing with the computer in the living room, and the things they moved away were piled up in another room. Xu Yangyi was in the third room and did not come out.
He had been thinking about a question.
What made him be hunted by a helmsman he had never met before?
He thought about the answer very quickly, and confirmed everything in almost a few minutes.
Someone, without telling the entire Chinese cultivation world, tampered with the results of the exam three years ago, as well as all the contents. The only reason he was being hunted down could be because of that battle three years ago.
"Is it you..." He sat cross-legged on the bed, looking at the small box in front of him.
It no longer existed in the sea of qi after the leap three years ago. On that rainy night, it materialized. Xu Yangyi made another silver soft silver chain and wore it around his neck.
Golden lines, simple painting style, nothing else was unusual.
Xu Yangyi closed his eyes, and in his heart, his thoughts began to recall all the problems from leaving Sanshui City to now.
"How did that maniac get this box?"
"What exactly is this box...whose hollow pattern with a leopard head and a human body belongs to? Without it, I can't go to the lotus pond, let alone know the existence of the Eternal Pill Sutra King. Without it, I would have died at the hands of Zhu Hongxue."
"Where is that lotus pond? Is it an illusion? If it is an illusion...why can the skills inside be remembered? If it is real, China...no, on Earth, there is no way such a terrifying giant monster can exist."
"Who made this box? Why hasn't such a treasure been mentioned in history?"
One question after another lingered in his mind, and he was 100% sure that it was because of it that he had reached the point today.
But...
He didn't regret it at all.
Is recruitment important in various places?
Is the golden elixir skill important?
They are all important!
However, compared to the Eternal Pill Sutra King, it is absolutely not important!
Alchemy is to refine people. As long as he learns the skills, recruit?
That depends on their "sincerity".
The Golden Elixir Technique... is only one tenth of the Eternal Elixir Scripture King!
At the graduation ceremony, he was the one who really benefited! Chu Zhaonan's army, the first, is nothing compared to this mysterious little box!
However, it seems that something is missing?
He squinted his eyes and thought for a few minutes, and suddenly remembered that Zhu Hongxue had shouted "Imperial Weapon" in panic!
He took a deep breath, this may be the key to open this mysterious door.
"Li Zongyuan." He called softly in his sea of consciousness.
"Master." Li Zongyuan's voice echoed immediately. God knows, he was 120 careful outside, waiting for the master's spiritual communication at any time... no, summons.
"Do you know where there are experts in antiquity research..." He picked up the box: "I want to decrypt it, but there is only one requirement. The person who decrypts it must keep his mouth shut."
"What if you are not confident enough?"
"It's up to you." Xu Yangyi did not waver at all. This thing could cause the foundation-building cultivators to hunt him down. If it was leaked, he would only have one word: death!
"If..." He was silent for a few seconds: "If you leak it, you don't have to come to see me."
End it yourself... Li Zongyuan's huge body trembled when he thought of this sentence. But he gritted his teeth and said: "Sir, this is difficult... If someone is really chasing you, you may be hunted down once you show up. Things with your aura and you must not appear at the same time. There are thousands of cultivators' skills, and there are too many skills to trace the origin..."
"I just ask if it can be done." Xu Yangyi said lightly.
"Yes!"
Xu Yangyi raised his eyebrows slightly. He just asked casually, but he didn't expect that the other party could really do it.
He raised his chin and signaled to the other party to speak. Li Zongyuan replied respectfully: "Sir, China... is not the only one interested in these ancient mysteries..."
Cooperate with the demon clan? Xu Yangyi nodded with almost no thought: "I remind you again, if this thing is leaked, you will die before me."
"Yes!" Li Zongyuan responded immediately: "Master, which faction are you... now?"
Xu Yangyi smiled: "I have always been a practical person."
He was also a little helpless and had no choice. The one he really trusted now was Li Zongyuan. However, this is definitely a partner with whom he canceled the contract and immediately ran away to never see him again until death.
"I put it here. After that, I will retreat immediately. After the retreat is over, I need answers."
"Please don't worry, sir..."
One person and one frog fell silent. After a few seconds, Xu Yangyi lit a cigarette: "Let's talk about the practice world."
"Yes... sir, what do you want to hear? I have been wandering in the world of cultivation for more than thirty years. Although I am not proficient in cultivation matters, there are some miscellaneous things..."
Xu Yangyi snapped his fingers and interrupted the other party: "Just say it casually."
"I'm just a little bored."
Li Zongyuan pursed his lips. This is the rhythm of asking the driver to play a movie when he is bored on the journey... and he also has accompaniment singers...
However, he did not dare to have any dissatisfaction. Once a life and death contract is signed, it cannot be canceled if his cultivation level is not higher than that of the other party. However, with Xu Yangyi's qualifications...
He had long since given up this thought.
"Sir, the spiritual world is now a spiritual civilization. Its development actually started with the First World War..." Clearing his throat, he said: "Before this, the spiritual world basically ignored the human world. . However, after this war, technology developed rapidly and was able to cause harm to monks who were not good at practicing Qi in the early stages. At this time, the cultivation world began to take a serious look at humans. "
Xu Yangyi lay on the bed in the room. The bedside table was a small refrigerator with various drinks and wine. The snacks on the next shelf were delicious. He took out a bottle of beer and slowly drank from it.
Li Zongyuan's voice sounded again: "But the most critical thing is World War II. Tanks can already cause damage to monks in the early stages of Qi training. Especially when the first missile appeared, there was finally a family in the cultivation world that relieved thousands of After years of seclusion, I began to come into contact with humans.”
There is no limit to the topic of chatting, but it is always interesting if you come and talk to me, otherwise, it will be a few hours away. Cultivation is too short and there is no enjoyment at all.
"I remember it was said in the book. In the beginning, it was just some small families. Only those families that could not survive and faced the extinction of their orthodoxy chose to contact humans. After all, after a long period of edification, ordinary people are like ants." Xu Yangyi found out a Pan Lu Ya Zhen, casually forked a piece with a toothpick, squinted his eyes and enjoyed it: "At that time, the speed of trains and carriages was not faster than the talisman, let alone the flight of the foundation-building seniors. Almost no one expected the technology. Words make a huge difference..."
"That's right." Li Zongyuan said: "Master, Tiandao also taught the practice of history?"
"I have taught you, but I didn't take it seriously." Xu Yangyi said lazily: "However, at this time, the world of cultivation is not necessarily looking at human beings with a straight eye. It should just open its eyelids."
"Yes, Master Wise... The real turning point was the atomic bomb dropped by Citigroup on the Republic of China. When the two cities were reduced to ruins, the power of destroying the world finally gave way to the long-term contempt for mankind. The monks sounded the alarm."
Xu Yangyi said with some emotion: "In the Age of Dharma End, the Nascent Soul no longer exists, and the Golden Core is at its highest. At that time... I'm afraid there won't be many Nascent Souls left, right?"
"There were still two Nascent Souls in China at that time." Li Zongyuan said softly: "The Nascent Souls have a lifespan of six hundred years... Sir, I knew that my cultivation level was not high. Because of this, I was greedy for pleasure. And because of this, I I probably know more about these things than some elite monks... In a long boring life, you always have to find something to do for yourself..."
Xu Yangyi smiled slightly.
Li Zongyuan was really afraid of him, and his heart was broken. If he had any hint of dissatisfaction, the other party would immediately make up for it calmly.
That's fine, though.
He needs someone like this.
Any monk has his own team, and it is impossible to do everything by himself. Master Jindan just takes care of their huge industry, which has tens of thousands of monks, which is comparable to a large enterprise. Sooner or later he will too.
"But, I doubt they are still alive..." Li Zongyuan's next words made Xu Yangyi's eyes suddenly light up: "Reason?"
"Master... there is no evidence. But..." Li Zongyuan smiled bitterly: "Do you know the three ancestral houses of Taoism?"
"Heming Mountain in Xichuan Province, Qingcheng Mountain, Longhu Mountain in Ganjiang Province... Sir, this is the real trump card of the Chinese government... Any golden elixir monk knows it, but no golden elixir monk dares to touch it..."
"We are ignorant in practicing and practicing Qi. When it comes to building the foundation, we will choose our own way. Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism, each of them has a very profound foundation in China. I, I really don't believe it. There is no supreme being in the hands of the three true super sects.”
Xu Yangyi was silent for a moment: "You mean... they are the real super power?"
"Master, they are not even considered a force! They are giants! Their sphere of influence is not large, they do not have much interaction with humans, and their true disciples rarely enter the world. However, no cultivator in China dares to touch them! This kind of Taoist tradition with thousands of years of history has witnessed many emperors and many secrets, and its background is so deep that it is unimaginable! Really, I really doubt that the two Yuanying Zhenjuns in the legend are not dead! They are hidden in several famous mountains of these three Taoist traditions!"
