Chapter 3 Nine Rank Nine Realms
Li Xuandu came to the backyard alone, where there was a row of bungalows, but it was blocked by a two-story building, so there was no place to be seen from the front yard.
Li Xuandu came to the so-called ground-sized room, which was not much better than a wood-room. After opening the door, the room was filled with musty smell. I don’t know how long it took for anyone to live there. Li Xuandu came to the kang and stretched out his fingers, which were covered with dust.
Li Xuandu sighed, pushed open the window, waved his sleeves several times, rolled up a gust of breeze, and drove the rising smoke and dust out of the room.
As the boss lady thought, he was not a fledgling young man, and he could not be considered an ordinary person in the world. He was an old man and had been in the world at the age of ten, and it has been fifteen years since he was ten.
Fifteen springs went and autumn came, and fifteen flowers bloomed and faded. He drank the fragrant wine of the spring breeze and peaches and plums, and also experienced the bitter wind and rain of the lonely lamp at the cold night. He inevitably had to get some blood debts in his hands.
In this world of swords and swords, life has four seasons.
Some people are in spring and have a happy spring breeze. Some people are in summer and are prosperous. Some people are in autumn and are bleak. Some people are in winter, with only a vast white area, and they are completely dead.
Li Xuandu was lonely since childhood, with no parents or brothers and sisters, so his life was destined to be spring and summer, and he did not want his life to turn into a white winter, so he could only choose the autumn day when the main kills. After all, it was not that he liked to kill people, but that he lived in this chaotic world where life was like grass and had to kill people.
Li Xuandu gently stroked his sleeves and sighed.
After he packed up this guest room that was barely better than the woodshed, the sky gradually dimmed. When he returned to the lobby in front, he found that the originally empty lobby was full of people, all of which were Qingluan Guards dressed in green clothes and robe clothes.
The moment he walked into the lobby, he immediately noticed the eyes projected from all directions, full of vigilance and scrutiny.
The boss's wife hurried forward to smooth things over and said, "Dear officials, this is a customer of our store, a serious person who travels around the world, can make a living."
After many Qingluan Guards withdrew their gaze, she came to Li Xuandu and explained softly: "Don't be afraid of guests. These officials have always been like this. After all, the officials are responsible for the court, so be careful to sail the ten thousand-year-old ship."
Li Xuandu smiled and thanked the boss's wife, and came to a free Eight Immortals table by the window to sit down. After a while, the thin black boy gave him a jar of unopened flower carvings and a plate of cooked beef.
Li Xuan picked up a chopsticks of beef, a little surprised. In terms of taste, it was not domestic yellow beef, but like wild buffalo. He couldn't help but look at the black and thin boy and asked softly: "Didn't you ask the guy for his name?"
It was probably the first time that the black and thin boy was asked about his name in such a ecstatic way. He was a little shy for the first time, "My name is Shen Changsheng."
"Shen Changsheng?" Li Xuandu stopped the movement that was about to stretch out his chopsticks and smiled, "My name is Xuandu, your name is Changsheng. After all, it means the same thing. We all want to live longer in this world, so we are still the same people."
Shen Changsheng smiled and said, "Is the guest official a scholar? A name is very clear. My name was obtained by the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper said that immortality is longevity. I wonder how many years I can live to be considered longevity? It is said that life is rare in seventy years, and it is almost enough to live to be 100 years old."
Li Xuan laughed silently, not knowing how to evaluate the second half of the sentence, so he could only answer the first half of the sentence, "I have read a few books, but I can't be considered a scholar."
Chen Changsheng still wanted to speak, but the boss's wife shouted from the kitchen, and he didn't dare to procrastinate. After accusing Li Xuan of guilt, he hurried to the kitchen.
Li Xuan looked at Chen Changsheng's back and thoughtful.
Where did a young man get wild buffalo meat in one afternoon?
This Taiping Inn is interesting.
But none of these matters. His purpose for this trip was not this inn, it was just a coincidence.
Li Xuan no longer cared about Chen Changsheng, but began to pay attention to the Qingluan Guards in the lobby. To be fair, these Qingluan Guards are not simple. They are all strong-bodied people with obvious military imprints on their bodies, which shows that these Qingluan Guards are not people who act as powerful among the markets, but real Qingluan Guards, especially the Qingluan Guard commander Tongzhi, who is vaguely led by Qingluan Guards. They look about the age of destiny, with gray hair combed meticulously, old-fashioned and ruthless.
The other one is the commander-in-chief who had gone downstairs before, sitting next to the commander-in-chief, calm and composed.
However, the most eye-catching thing is a young man who owns a table, drinking by himself, and is leisurely.
Judging from his face, he should be different from Li Xuan when he is less than thirty years old. But looking at his green clothes and robe clothes, they are in the third-grade style, one level higher than the old man from the third-grade. He does not carry the Wenluan sword like other Qingluan Guards. Instead, he put a long green sheath sword on the table. The thigh of the sword is dark, the hilt is wrapped in golden silk, and the head of the sword is directly inlaid with a ruby the size of a cat's eye, which is very eye-catching.
Li Xuan looked at it and sighed secretly.
No wonder this young man like the aristocratic family dared to act like this, and it turned out that he had some support.
Things in this world must always be divided into different levels.
Take the civil and military officials of the court for example. From the first-rank prime minister to the ninth-rank prime minister to the ninth-rank minor officials, they are all in this framework. It is clear at a glance who is higher and lower, who is higher and lower, who is superior and inferior.
Since the temple is like this, the world also has its own way of learning, and divides the strange people and strangers in the world into two categories, just like the civil and military divisions in the temple, and there are nine realms, just like the nine-rank official system.
These two types of people focus on the soul and the Nascent Soul, and the other focus on the body and body, each with its own focus. The nine levels are: solid, warding energy, entering the spirit, embracing the elixir, Xuanyuan, innate, returning to the truth, celestial being, and immortality.
Most people in the martial arts world stay in the first two realms. As the name suggests, they stabilize their bodies and control their qi. The body is external force, and the qi is internal force. They are both internal and external, which is different from ordinary people.
Take the Qingluan Guards in front of you as an example. Most of them are in a solid state, with strong bodies and great strength. The commander and a gloomy Qingluan Guard have already stepped into the Qi Realm, nurturing Qi in their body, and they are enough to hide their strength when they take action, which is invisible to hurt people. The old-fashioned old man has a real cultivation level in the realm of entering the divine realm.
These three realms correspond to the three major dantians, the solid realm corresponds to the place where the essence is stored in the lower dantian, the Qi realm corresponds to the place where the Qi gathers in the middle, and the divine realm corresponds to the house where the spiritual realm is cultivated. After entering the divine realm, all the three major dantians in the body are opened, and the qi in the body can go from the snow mountain on the sea of Qi, pass through the twenty-four spines, break through the Fengchi point, and reach the mysterious orifice of the Jade Ding, and then circulate the number of the great circles, causing the qi in the body to flow day and night, which is a master in the eyes of the world.
