Chapter 54 Preparations (2)
Chapter 54 Preparation for the War (2)
I picked out the content about "Immortal Seedlings" bit by bit from the historical records of the major cultivation sects in the library.
"Xianmiao" is the name of children with outstanding spiritual roots. Cultivators find them from the world and take them back to the ancient cave fairy mountain for cultivation to inherit the Taoist teachings in the sects.
The purpose of cultivating the truth is to achieve immortality. No one has ever lived forever so far, so the accumulated knowledge must be passed down from generation to generation.
Like the civilizations of previous generations, the cultivation civilization is constantly improving. In the five hundred years of the martial arts era, there were more than one thousand Golden Elixir realm and only one hundred Nascent Soul people. In the five hundred years of cultivation, there are as many as ten thousand people who have appeared in the golden Elixir realm alone.
It is not that the qualifications of people in ancient times were weaker than those in modern times, but the Taoism of those days was not perfect, and many talented people contributed their lives through trial and error. The accumulation of countless cultivators in the previous generation allowed contemporary people who were determined to seek the Tao to bypass many detours.
Generally speaking, the appearance of immortal seedlings is generally random. In terms of probability, one person has excellent spiritual roots for every 10,000 people, and at least he can cultivate to the qualifications of the Golden Elixir Realm.
However, there are still several general rules for the spread of fairy seedlings:
First, densely populated areas can produce more fairy seedlings than sparsely populated areas. Second, places with abundant spiritual energy can produce more fairy seedlings than places with thin spiritual energy. Third, the family of cultivators' bloodlines can produce slightly more fairy seedlings than ordinary families.
Part of the reason why cultivators walk in the secular world is to search for immortal seedlings. Their appearance in the world is more frequent than what people usually think in the secular world. It is just that ordinary people have a naked eye for mortals, and cultivators deliberately pretend to be low-key, and the two types of people always pass by.
When a cultivator openly appears in front of the secular people with flying swords on his back, it usually means that the demons have begun to rage in the local area or that some treasures of heaven and earth are born.
This is much more than I had imagined, even the peerless actors in the imperial capital are one in a million.
But there is still a very important difference:
A fairy seedling that is selected from thousands of miles away may not become a cultivator with minor success in the end.
Spiritual roots are necessary, not sufficient.
No cultivator can see that the future growth of a child's mind is achieved by a cultivator who has to go through more difficult practices if he wants to achieve a small success and reach the Golden Elixir realm.
From an ignorant child to a mature mind, even if Xianmiao learns several rare magics with his talent and practices the martial arts of driving tigers with bare hands, they may not be able to train the persistence of seeking Tao, which is the so-called "heart of Tao"
Too many children with outstanding spiritual roots have lost their heartbrokenness before breaking through to the Golden Pill Realm and stopped in front of a huge gap.
My situation is a little different from those fairy seedlings.
In fact, the immortal seedlings do not have natural spells, but the growth rate of their spiritual roots is beyond that of ordinary people.
These are the five energys of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.
The five spiritual roots of gold, wood, water, fire and earth are the embryos of the five qi.
If the spiritual roots are strong, the practitioners will grow quickly; if the spiritual roots are weak, the practitioners will grow slowly.
People who are not immortal seedlings also have individual cases of practicing to a very deep realm. No one can deny that there is a miracle. Unfortunately, the sect of cultivation is not Guangci Academy. Cultivators obviously tend to spend time, energy and resources on immortal seedlings with better spiritual roots.
And I seem to be better than the fairy girl... These days have been a rare hard work since I was studying in my life. I finally found a record from a Taoist book:
Those who do not practice will not have the next life. The body turns into dust and the vitality returns to heaven and earth. But cultivators who have achieved small success can cultivate a next life! The souls of cultivators in the Golden Elixir Realm and the Nascent Soul Realm have hope of being reincarnated once, and they can also retain several basic magics from their previous life. This is the blessing of cultivation.
Only in the Nascent Soul Realm can I remember the memories of my previous life, and the Golden Elixir Realm all have mysteries in the fetus.
Isn't this my situation?
Then I am simply a person who is not enough to summarize the immortal seedlings. I am no longer a big and small spiritual child! I was a golden elixir in my previous life!
“Geeh.”
I couldn't help laughing, I was so proud.
The Taoist books say that the Taoist methods of the four major sects of cultivation have their own specialties: the Sword Sect is good at flying swords, Kunlun is good at magic weapons, the magic of the Star Sect is unparalleled in the world, and the talismans of the Dragon and Tiger Sect are unparalleled.
Maybe I am probably from Xingzong?
But it’s hard to say, after all, the Three Spells of Thunder and Fire Wind are basic magics that any small sect can do, and it may not require the true teachings of the major sects. It is a bit far-fetched to guess that I have something to do with the Star Sect.
However, if I was a Jindan cultivator in my previous life, I might have become the head of a third-rate sect back then, right?
"Gee.Gee."
I originally wanted to be modest and low-key, but I couldn't help it. The more I thought about it, the more mysterious it became. My face probably shone brightly.
"Why are you proud?"
Murong Zhi asked strangely, she was disturbed by my abnormal reaction.
"Nothing happened, the weather is so good today."
I secretly stuffed the books behind me into the bookshelf and hid them seamlessly.
"Huh? It turns out that your goal is this book. You are still thinking about Xianmiao."
Murong Zhi looked down on the bookshelf.
"How do you see it!"
"Because I remember the arrangement of each book, the original position of this book was on the next bookshelf, and you put it wrong in a hurry. And you are prone to overwhelming confidence. You must have read this book and feel that you may have been a golden elixir in your previous life, so you will be proud."
All in!
I think she has read the content of this book as well.
“So what?”
I stuck out my tongue.
"Since the weather is very good today, will you go to the town with me? Let's talk to you later when I go to the town," she said.
"But, didn't Wang Qitai make an appointment with us: Don't show up in Shunshui Town if you have nothing to do?"
"We wear the human skin masks of passerby A and passerby B. No one in the town will have an impression of us. If you have something to tell you, it is inconvenient to the tower."
Murong Zhi's expression was serious. Seeing that she was speaking seriously, I thought that this was not the first time I had left the small dark room secretly without obeying orders. Now the elders in the town trust us and did not follow us in a qi. So let's go.
Wang Xiangfu was still in seclusion and regaining her former combat power, so I left a note. While the sky was still bright, he and Murong Zhi wore human skin masks and left the stone tower.
The route we took was the opposite of the route we had when we first landed on the island. In fact, we were from the stone tower to the town, and then to the caves we had when we first came to the South Island.
We passed through the bustling town.
In addition to transforming the courtyards in the Central Plains into villages without walls, the people and scenery in the town are exactly the same as those in the Central Plains. Men farm and women weave, and they still have a long-lost sense of peace.
Although there are as many as 100,000 people in the town, they are originally from Yidui and are particularly sensitive to life. Fortunately, the masks of passers-by A and B are originally something that people ignore us automatically. Not only do I remain solemn, I also secretly simulate the passing of people by Murong Zhi in his appearance.
This is like a beast invisible in the human forest.
The commons in the center of the town have been busy building large machinery recently. The sound of knocking and knocking sometimes reaches the stone tower.
Murong Zhi and I were mingling in the crowd to watch.
I saw that the wooden ox and horses in Shunshui Town were concentrated, and one or two ships from the sea were dragged to land, the machinery was decomposed from beginning to end, and the movement inside was dismantled into one floor. Dozens of groups of craftsmen were polishing big parts, and I couldn't see at all.
I asked a town citizen curiously.
"It's an unprecedented huge wooden ox! After Elder Wang Qinian died, the backless elders in the town were going to negotiate with the indigenous people. The indigenous chiefs extorted the sincerity of the peace talks, and they were fascinated by the machinery of the Central Plains. The elders organized our craftsmen to make them an automatic walking wooden ox."
"Is the bellies hollow after completion?"
Murong Zhi asked.
"It's as big as a cabin of a big ship!"
What kind of trick is this?
I knew in my heart that Wang Xiangfu and the others would never surrender, but I couldn't guess what the purpose of making wooden cows was.
"A war example in ancient military tactics."
Murong Zhi hummed briefly, pulled my sleeves out of the crowd, and only the townsman was left murmured: "Why did I talk to myself just now?"
I left this matter behind my head and put my mind back on Murong Zhi. My head swayed, but my hands were swaying to her.
Although I had anticipated many difficulties, I was even more nervous than meeting Aung San Baoyan.
But at that moment, she trembled slightly unconsciously, and my hand was naturally held with her.
The substantive content of this incident is not much, but it has far-reaching significance, revealing the various development possibilities between me and her in the future.
Murong Zhi lowered her head and didn't look at me. I couldn't tell whether her face was red or white.
I only heard her say in a barely strong tone, "Even if you were a golden elixir in your previous life, it would be meaningless now. Don't you read the following words of that book? Although you were a cultivator in your previous life, everything will start from scratch after reincarnation, and things like spiritual roots are given by your parents in this life. Compared with other immortal seedlings, your only advantage is that there are three magics, which is a pity."
She finally looked at me, but she couldn't see any shyness on her face, or she dared to look at me when she was no longer shy.
"What a pity?"
"If you were taken to practice when you were young, then three spells will be a very high starting point since birth. Unfortunately, you are almost sixteen years old now, and other immortal seedlings have learned more sophisticated spells at this age. So, your only advantage is gone."
"This...this..."
The confidence I accumulated from the library was blown away, "But if I really went to Xianshan to practice my true feelings before, I would never see you in my life. In this case, it would be better if I am like this now."
“What’s good about it?”
Although she was not satisfied with her, I read the strange joy in her eyes.
We came to the cave where we went to the island again.
The cave is very hidden. Although it has only been more than two months, it takes a lot of time to find the entrance again.
The cave was cleaned up very neatly, just like the same as when I left the cave.
Now there are only two of us.
Murong Zhi suddenly let go of her hand and took a deep breath and said, "I have an idea, don't be surprised."
What sinister thoughts do she have?
Chapter completed!
