Life Experience
Chapter 119 Life experience
Li Wuxiang glanced at Pan Muyun and Helianji. Both of them looked stunned, obviously they had never heard of this matter.
Zeng Jianqiu sat on the ground and glanced at Wu Hao in the distance: "Only Senior Brother Lou, Mei Zhangjian, and the leader of the sect know about this matter. Let me explain it clearly to you today."
All three people also sat down. Zeng Jianqiu said: "That happened almost forty years ago. You guys should take a look first -"
"Wait a minute." Helianji stood up again, walked to the load lying on the ground not far away, opened the box and rummaged through it for a while, and unexpectedly took out a jar of wine and two oil paper bags, then walked back and spread them on the ground. .
Two oil paper bags, one with raisins and the other with peeled hazelnuts. He opened the stopper of the small wine jar and handed it to several people: "Do you want it?"
Zeng Jianqiu kicked him: "Drink less, please."
Helianji laughed loudly: "I live in the open air, how can I do this without wine? You tell me, just leave me alone."
Zeng Jianqiu sighed, raised his hand and pointed in the direction of Guancheng, looking at Li Wuxiang: "You don't know what's going on here. Look at the mountain behind the city, can you see anything on the mountain?"
Li Wuxiang took a closer look over there. The mountain is also gray-black, with very little vegetation, mostly on the top and at the foot of the mountain. The rocks on the mountain wall are exposed. If you look carefully for a while, you can see that there seem to be many small light-colored dots, and there are some zigzag light-colored lines among them.
He thought for a moment and realized that those lines should be roads, and those small dots and cliffs - he suddenly thought of the "hanging coffin". Is it just that there are hanging coffins on the mountain wall? I don’t know how many there are!
He squinted his eyes and said, "I can't see it, it's too far."
"Come on, you are the only one here who can see clearly among us." Zeng Jianqiu put down his hand, "The ones above are all coffins. Guanshan and Guancheng, do you think they are pass gates? In fact, they are. Coffin of coffins.”
"Zhenxing Tao worships the Zhenxing Emperor, the incarnation of the luck of the mountains in the world. Although worshiping this emperor can borrow the magical power of moving mountains and reclaiming seas, it is taboo to destroy Feng Shui. When it comes to destroying Feng Shui, the most powerful person in the world is It’s just people. When the Ye Dynasty was still here, the whole area from Jinshui to here was people cultivating wasteland, cutting down trees, and hunting. At that time, even jackals were rare in this area.”
"So after the demise of the Ye Dynasty, Zhenxing Tao will not allow people to destroy the mountains and rivers. However, the Six Mysterious Sect does not want too many people in the world, and it also hopes that the people who can practice in the diocese have good qualifications. What do you think we should do?"
Li Wuxiang immediately thought of the tall and strong Coffin City people he saw on the boat.
"So from generation to generation, if a person is born with a congenital disability or serious illness, naturally it will not work. But the emperor has a good life, so naturally he cannot drown the baby, so he will put it in a coffin refined with the magic of the True Form Sect. Here, it is called 'hiding the spirit and nourishing the energy'."
"If a person reaches the age of eighteen or nineteen and suffers from a serious illness that cannot be cured, or is physically disabled, or has extremely poor qualifications, he will also be placed in a Dharma coffin to 'hide his spirit and nourish his energy'."
"After generations of this, when you go to Coffin City, you will find that the people in the city are all healthy, happy, and carefree, as if they are in a paradise on earth. The people with the worst qualifications are ordinary residents. , do some production and production I mean, those who are slightly better are practicing the techniques I passed on to Xue Baoping in Anmin Mansion and Zhenzhu Mansion, which can also prolong life. The better ones are accepted as disciples by the mountain masters or walking and Xuanjiao disciples who are stationed in the city. , this is the master of human beings.”
Zeng Jianqiu sighed: "I am from a wealthy family in the city. Marriage among wealthy families outside the diocese, if they are not from a spiritual family, often depends on family status and wealth. Marriage among wealthy families within the diocese is also similar. If you want to have a legal wife, It also depends on family status. But the wealthy families in the diocese must also have a large number of practitioners. In addition to family status, if you want to have more children, it depends on your qualifications."
"In Coffin City, ordinary people cannot marry at will, and must be screened at all levels. Men and women with ordinary family backgrounds and good qualifications are generally used by wealthy families for breeding. Because regardless of whether they are noble or low, a man and woman can only breed two children. If you are the head of a family, get married, and have a child, your qualifications don’t need to be sent away to cultivate your energy, but it’s not that good, so you will naturally have another child.”
"At this time, we have to try little by little." Zeng Jianqiu squinted his eyes and looked in the direction of the coffin city, "If you find a woman or man with good qualifications, and you are not satisfied with giving birth to a child, you will naturally find a way to make him seriously ill and disabled. , so send it to Coffin Mountain, and then regenerate the next one. If you don’t mind using up your own cultivation, you can try it until you are satisfied.”
"This is how I was born, this is my business." Zeng Jianqiu said this and stretched out his hand towards Helianji. Helianji handed the wine jar to him, and he took a sip and held it in his hand, "There is also Senior Brother Lou. Senior Brother Lou, his background should be similar to mine. But his life experience is more... I don't know what to say. Anyway, he used to be a member of the True Form Cult."
Pan Muyun was startled: "He!?"
Zeng Jianqiu nodded: "Yes. He is a disciple of Zhenxing Tao who came to Coffin City to practice. He is extremely talented. After arriving in Coffin City, he was promoted to walking by Master Wu Shan who was stationed in Coffin City a year later. After I grew up to five years old, My family invited him to be my teacher. I followed him to learn the magic of Zhenxing Sect. When I was twelve years old, I had already reached the stage of practicing Qi and transforming emptiness. "
Pan Muyun and Helianji took a deep breath, and Li Wuxiang almost forgot to pretend to be someone else. He quickly took a deep breath when he reacted: "Then..."
"When I was thirteen years old, Senior Brother Lou had already reached the pinnacle of Qi refining when he was twenty-three years old." He glanced at Li Wuxiang, "Our Jian Sect and Thirty Mile Sect, after refining Qi, we have to get married. Dan. To turn the innate energy in the body into gold. Dan is used to cultivate the seeds of Yang Shen. However, in Liubu Xuanjiao, the next level after refining Qi is to 'refining gods', which is the opposite of our elixir formation. It is to refine all the gods and organs in the body. Melt away and merge into the three souls and seven souls.”
"Senior Brother Lou, we are about to hit the realm of god refining at that time. Most of the people in the Six-Bud Mysterious Sect have better qualifications than us, and there is no shortage of Dharma materials for practice. With the guidance of teachers, the practice process is very smooth. But every time When it comes to the impact realm, it is more dangerous than us. This danger is because of Coffin Mountain."
He glanced at Li Wuxiang again: "Those who hide their spirits and nourish their energy in the coffin mountain are unaware of it. It usually takes about twenty years for them to die. In these twenty years, it is said that they are hiding their spirits and nourishing their energy. In fact, they are trying to hide their spirits and nourish their energy. The innate energy, will power, and popularity of the human body are slowly taken away by the formation on the mountain, and those things can be provided to the monks in the city. "
"Outside of the diocese, we will not have the idea of cultivating the power of incense. Because then once we reach the realm and break through, demonic thoughts will arise, which is the way to death. But in a place like Coffin City, practitioners will Use it. Use it slowly over time. Since the people on Coffin Mountain are no longer conscious and have fewer distracting thoughts, it will be possible to suppress them with the magic weapon in the sect when they break through. "
"There is another way that can make people more stable when breaking through the situation, which is marriage. When you reach the state of Senior Brother Lou, you can transfer part of the evil karma caused by evil thoughts to your children during marriage. Senior Brother Lou found a suitable woman in the city. Usually, after giving birth to a suitable child, the matter is over. It is not considered a marriage, but only a borrowed seed. "
"But after the two of them got along for several months, Senior Brother Lou was very affectionate and said that he really wanted to marry a woman. This kind of thing also happens in Xuanjiao, but Master Wu in Coffin City is different."
"From the perspective of people in Xuanjiao, Master Wu is a good mountain master. He is upright and abides by the precepts of the religion. He will also cultivate a well-qualified offspring for himself like ordinary people. This kind of thing does not happen outside the diocese. People may think it is cold and cruel, but no one in the diocese thinks there is anything wrong with this kind of thing.”
"Master Wu Shan also likes to support younger generations. He is very considerate of those with good qualifications and good intentions. If I use words outside the diocese, he is a bit old-fashioned. He hopes that everyone can be like him and soar to the wonderful world. Environment is important.”
"He knew Senior Brother Lou's plan, so he felt that this woman was distracting him. He was about to reach the state of cultivating the gods, so he couldn't be distracted. So he sent that woman to hide the gods and nourish the energy. This kind of thing , once in the coffin, there is no way to save it, it is no different from death. "
"But in everything, there is always an exception, and that is our Sword Sect. If you cultivate to the level of Donghuang Taiyi, or you don't need to become a great avenue, but just have the cultivation of the spiritual gods under him, you can also pick up the luck of humanity. , He was manipulating living souls at will. That Master Wu probably didn’t expect that Senior Brother Lou would be so affectionate. After knowing that the woman was sent to Coffin Mountain, he immediately betrayed the True Form Sect and left the diocese. "
"After that, Senior Brother Lou met Mei Zhangjian in Huaiyang and wanted to learn flying swordsmanship from Mei Zhangjian. You all know that Mei Zhangjian is always different in what she does. After hearing what Lou He said about his After passing by, tell him that you can’t learn this flying sword because you have the skills of the True Form Sect.”
"So Senior Brother Lou immediately revoked his cultivation in front of her to prove his determination. Mei Zhangjian felt that he had the temperament to be a swordsman, so Senior Brother Lou became a swordsman."
"Abandoning one's own cultivation will cause great damage to the body. With Senior Brother Lou's qualifications, it took another six years to refine Qi after abolishing one's cultivation. At that time, I was nineteen years old and also practiced It’s time to hit the realm of refining gods... ...It’s not that my qualifications are better than those of Senior Brother Lou. It’s just that he comes from an ordinary family, while I come from a wealthy family. I have no shortage of Dharma materials and guidance. My family plans to let me cultivate to the point of cultivating gods and then go to the main altar. Go."
"When I was nineteen years old, Senior Brother Lou came back. He told me later that when he came back, he wanted to kill Master Wu. But when he left Coffin City, Master Wu was still refining his energy. When he came back this time , Master Wu is already a god of refinement, he cannot kill him."
"He couldn't move his hands, so he came back to see me. The wealthy families in Coffin City are no different from those outside. I haven't felt much love from my parents, relatives and friends since I was a child. All the people who accompany me are Senior Brother Lou. Between him and me, we are He is also a teacher, a brother, and a father. Because he comes from an ordinary family, his ideas are unusual among the Zhenxing Sect, otherwise he would not be able to run away for a woman."
"He taught me from the age of five to thirteen. In eight years, my character is similar to his in some aspects. In fact, if I were just practicing, I wouldn't be a swordsman today. It's because I was ten years old. When I was nine years old, I encountered the same thing as Senior Brother Lou - I wanted to break the law, and my clan wanted me to get married. "
"Senior Brother Lou has learned from the experience that the clan will not allow me to get along with that woman for a long time. In fact, I have not even seen what she looks like. But this makes me feel very uncomfortable - wouldn't I Is it no different than a bred ox and a horse? Moreover, from the time Brother Lou left, from the age of thirteen to nineteen, the clan disciplined me very strictly, which made me even more uncomfortable. I just wanted to cultivate as quickly as possible. Go to the main altar."
"Senior Brother Lou met me at this time. Later I thought that he was also very unreasonable. He only told me the good things outside the diocese and didn't say much about the bad things. But I still don't regret it to this day - he Ask me if I want to be a swordsman too, but I have no idea. I thought, and immediately agreed, so I followed him out of the coffin city. Later, like him, I gave up my cultivation to learn flying swordsmanship, but my qualifications were not as good as his, and my vitality was more damaged. It took me six years and more than ten years.”
He raised his head, his throat was twitching, and he drank up all the wine in the wine jar, threw it aside and wiped his mouth: "That's what happened to us. So I want to come back to save him, which you think is very risky. , but here, it is actually no more dangerous than killing evil spirits outside the parish. "
"I have been away from home for thirty-three years now, but places like Coffin City are different from those outside the parish. As long as they are not ordinary people, everyone can live to be over a hundred years old. The changes in the city in the past thirty-three years do not count for him. Didn't Wu Hao just say that Senior Brother Lou has come back six times in the past few years? I know this. He is always looking for opportunities to kill Master Wu. Every time, he will explore the city and go back. I'll tell you later."
"I was familiar with the chief of the Coffin Town Guards Mansion in the past. After I came back, I could easily become a guard by using some tricks. I met Senior Brother Lou. His cultivation has been abolished now, but his life is still there. According to Based on Master Wu’s style, he would not immediately kill him or hand him over to the Xuanjiao—he has not reported this matter to the Xuanjiao in these years.”
"He, even if he wants to kill Senior Brother Lou, it must be after telling him to 'sincerely repent.' In this way, there is actually a lot of room for change."
Li Wuxiang nodded: "Could it be the governor you mentioned -"
Zeng Jianqiu glanced at Wu Hao: "No. The governor of the governor's house is named Ying. He has a clue. I knew it a long time ago - he has six children. This kind of thing is known in other places in the diocese. , there will be severe punishment, probably taking away the position and sending the children to hide their souls and recuperate, but in Coffin City, the punishment of Master Wu will not be so easy. "
"Prefect Ying is not a disciple of Xuanjiao, but since he has practiced Kung Fu, he can be considered as a half-practitioner, so Lord Wu can take care of it. He only has two children himself, and what he hates most is this kind of thing. Once he is called I understand, Governor Ying and his family have to go to Coffin Mountain to hide their spirits and recuperate their energy. Even if he makes some great achievements by informing, he will be mourned after his death, and he can carry it away."
"Besides, he doesn't know that I am a swordsman. He only thinks that I have escaped from Coffin City and been a wanderer in the parish these years. Now that I have come back, I can't stand it outside, but I am too shy to meet people in my clan. , that’s why I became a town soldier. If I were to find him again and be accepted in a few years, he would be lucky to have climbed a big tree.”
"As for Wu Hao, the last time I saw Brother Lou, I didn't have a chance to talk to him. If we can see him again, it should be clear."
Several people looked at Wu Hao again and frowned.
After listening to Zeng Jianqiu's words, it was a bit difficult to deal with him. If he is really Senior Brother Lou's grandson, and indeed Senior Brother Lou's spy in Coffin City, then I really felt sorry for him just now.
but……
"Senior Brother Wu, you said you wanted to be a swordsman in the future, right?" Li Wuxiang thought for a while, stood up and walked to Wu Hao, "Then let's abolish your cultivation first. Sooner or later, anyway It’s going to be abolished.”
