Chapter 62(1/2)
Fan Ming has heard that Husong Ridge is a place where immortal cultivators gather in Beiyuan Kingdom.
Fan Ming once again looked at the dark-faced man named Niu Kun in front of him. He didn't know whether his dark skin was from the sun or whether he had black blood.
Yes, according to what Fan Ming read in a book introducing the Daqing Dynasty and the countries surrounding the Daqing Dynasty, there are not only yellow people in this world, but also black and white people.
I even heard that there are people of other skin colors in more distant places.
But these people of other skin colors only account for a minority, and the vast majority of people in this world are still yellow people.
And the black people in this world also have the same name as the ancients who Fan Ming learned about in his previous life, that is, Kunlun slaves.
It can be seen that the status of black people in this world is indeed not high. Fan Ming heard that the world of immortal cultivation has a repulsive attitude towards monks with the blood of Kunlun slaves.
I wonder if the Niu Kun in front of me has the blood of Kunlun slave.
Such curiosity flashed through Fan Ming's mind, and soon he forced himself to divert his attention to prevent him from thinking too much and letting the other party see something, which would be difficult.
And just after Fan Ming just paid attention, the Taoist priest introduced other people to Fan Ming.
The second person to be introduced was also the person who was in this room from the beginning.
"This is Qi Yuanshan from Heiyun Village."
Hearing this, Fan Ming turned his attention to a man who was dressed somewhat similar to Fan Ming. He also had half of his face covered and was also wearing a cloak.
When Fan Ming was sizing him up, Qi Yuanshan was also sizing up Fan Ming. After the two looked at each other, they didn't make any special greetings, they just nodded to each other.
After introducing the people who were in the room at the beginning, the Taoist priest began to introduce the people around him.
"This is Qinglian Sanren!" The person who was introduced this time was the Confucian scholar who stopped Fan Ming in the first place.
The Taoist priest smiled and said: "You may not know that Qinglian Sanren was really famous before he started to practice Taoism. If it were not a coincidence, Qinglian Sanren should be a high official in the secular world now!"
When everyone heard this, they looked at the Confucian scholar with slightly surprised eyes.
Although after becoming immortal cultivators, their status is completely different, and many immortal cultivators even have a condescending disdain for mortals, but those present are all casual cultivators, and they have spent a period of time in the world as mortals.
Naturally, I have come into contact with more mortals, and they have not completely transformed from the mentality of mortals to the mentality of immortal cultivators, including Fan Ming.
Everyone was somewhat surprised to hear that someone had passed the examination for academic status, because in the past, when they met people or even officials who had achieved academic status, they would inevitably have an attitude of reverence. After all, scholars in this world are still very valuable.
However, the feeling of surprise only existed for a short period of time and soon disappeared.
After all, everyone is now a cultivator of immortality. What status you had in the secular world no longer means much. Moreover, everyone is still a casual cultivator, and your status is only determined by your cultivation. Even if you were once an emperor, if your cultivation is not good, others will
I should still look down on you.
The Confucian scholar called Qinglian Sanren probably thought the same thing, so he waved his hands quickly and said: "The past has gone with the wind. Since I decided to embark on the path of monasticism, my previous fame has also been looked down upon. Now I am just a mere
Just a casual cultivator..."
"As for this..."
The Taoist priest pointed at the young woman who had spoken to Fan Ming before. Before he could say anything, the young woman giggled and took over the conversation.
"I come from Pansi Cave, nicknamed Starscream. I usually like to collect handsome little brothers."
After finishing speaking, your young wife even blinked at Fan Ming.
"..." The corner of Fan Ming's mouth twitched slightly, but he didn't say anything.
Although I really want to complain, it is more practical to pretend not to hear anything at this moment.
The Taoist priest was not angry when he was robbed of his words. He just smiled lightly, then looked at Fan Ming and said with a hint of apology:
"Your Majesty, please don't take this offence... This is my impoverished adopted sister, Shi Sanfeng. She has always been like this. When she meets someone she likes, she always likes to tease them verbally, but she actually doesn't mean anything malicious."
Although he was brought down by his sworn brother, Shi Sanfeng still looked at Fan Ming with ambiguous eyes, as if there was something going on between the two.
Fan Ming just smiled and remained silent, ready to remain unchanged in response to any changes.
"This is Master Kuti from Ami Mountain." The last person introduced was a middle-aged monk with no joy or sadness on his face.
Master Kuti bowed to Fan Ming with the etiquette of a monk, and Fan Ming imitated and bowed in return.
After the two people's actions, the scene became a little quiet.
There seems to be something special about this Kuti master. He seems to be able to bring people around him into the same emotions as himself.
After Fan Ming returned the gift, he felt much calmer.
I don’t know if it’s because of the special skills he practices or if there really is some Buddha nature in this world...
After a while, the Taoist priest broke the silence.
"I almost forgot to introduce myself. I am a Taoist priest from Hanfeng Temple in Jinfo Mountain. My Taoist name is Xiujing." The Taoist priest briefly introduced himself.
When Fan Ming heard this, he glanced at him and thought to himself: "Xiu Jing, it's a bit tricky to get this Taoist title... This is not a lot to say..."
Finally, the Taoist priest seemed to remember something, turned to look at Fan Ming and asked: "Yes, I still don't know that your Excellency is..."
Before he could finish asking, Fan Ming directly introduced himself: "Fan Hao, I come from a relatively remote place, so I won't mention it... because he likes to be alone and doesn't have many friends, so he doesn't have a nickname.
You can call me by my name."
After Fan Ming introduced himself, everyone dispersed and took their seats.
The expression of the Taoist priest suddenly became serious. After he glanced around, he said:
"I think you all already know the reason why Pindao called everyone here..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the black-faced man named Niu Kun who had been silent suddenly stood up, looked at Taoist Xiujing and asked with a serious face:
"You said you discovered an unknown entrance to a secret realm. Are you sure you're not kidding us?"
Hearing this, Fan Ming's expression became a little more serious.
Yes, the reason why he followed these people here was because the Taoist priest told him that he had discovered the entrance to an unknown secret realm.
There is no need to introduce what a secret realm is. For example, the Xiaolin Blessed Land that Fan Ming just entered not long ago is a secret realm, and spiritual plants can be seen everywhere in it.
So after Fan Ming heard this word, even though he didn't want to deal with these people, he still couldn't resist the temptation in the end.
In fact, as far as he knows, it is nothing new that a certain cultivator discovered the entrance to an unknown secret realm somewhere, because there are many secret realms. No one knows how many secret realms there are in this world, although it cannot be said that they are everywhere.
Yes, but if you are lucky enough, it is possible to find the entrance to a secret place by accident like this. The probability is about the same as stepping on dog poop when going out.
This is why Fan Ming followed him even though he didn't have much hope in his heart.
"You said you found the entrance to an unknown secret realm. Are you sure you are not making fun of everyone?" After Niu Kun asked this question, Taoist Xiujing's face did not change at all, and he still said very calmly:
"Pindao also knows that everyone must still have doubts, so he has already prepared evidence!"
After saying that, he took out something from his storage bag. After everyone saw that thing, their expressions instantly became a little confused.
It is a very strange-shaped stone. Fan Ming has seen this thing before. Its name is the Picture Stone!
This thing can capture a scene just like a camera and save it for a long time.
Of course, this thing is not common. At present, this thing has become extinct in the world of immortality. Only a few secret realms are still producing it, so the price is not low. However, its specific value depends on its size, because the larger the image stone, the more it can be recorded.
The more stuff you have, the longer it will last.
What Taoist Xiujing took out was a palm-sized photo stone, which was even larger than the photo stone that Fan Ming had seen not long ago, which was also the photo stone that Lou Hengrong used to threaten Wang Shujun.<
/p>
As far as Fan Ming knows, the value of such a large image stone is almost equivalent to that of a high-level magic weapon.
Fan Ming raised his head and looked at the Taoist Xiujing secretly, and thought to himself, it seems that this Taoist priest is not an ordinary casual cultivator. To have such a photographic stone, his net worth can definitely be called a "rich man" among the casual cultivators.
At the same time, I also discovered that several people present were breathing a little faster after seeing this picture stone. Obviously, the value of this picture stone is enough to make people excited, but after all, there are no fools here, even if they have any ideas,
Nothing can be done.
Although Fan Ming was also staring at the image stone, he didn't care about the image stone itself, but was more concerned about the image stored in the image stone. What scene in it could make Taoist Xiujing so confident.
Could it be the scene where they discovered the entrance to the secret realm?
Fan Ming frowned slightly, but said nothing. He just watched the movements of Taoist Xiujing quietly.
However, just when Fan Ming thought that the Taoist priest Xiujing was going to show them the pictures in the recording stone, he suddenly said:
"The evidence I'm talking about is in this picture stone, but before I show it to you, I want to trouble you with something."
"Just tell Taoist Xiujing what you want directly, there is no need to beat around the bush!" Qi Yuanshan from Heiyun Village, who had not spoken before, suddenly said.
After hearing this, everyone nodded.
After the Taoist priest Xiujing glanced at everyone, he said: "In that case...then please make a Taoist oath here. You can't tell anyone except the people present in any way what you see next!"<
/p>
After hearing this, everyone looked at each other, but no one showed reluctance. On the contrary, after seeing the cautious look of Taoist Xiujing, everyone had a little more trust in this matter.
Taoist Xiujing did not keep the people present waiting for a long time. He quickly poured mana into the stone, and then pointed one side of the stone toward a wall in the room. Gradually, a blurry image gradually became clear in everyone's eyes.
Get up, and when the picture becomes clear, everyone's eyes gradually become serious...
Soon after, the image on the wall disappeared. Taoist Xiujing easily put his image stone back into his storage bag, then looked up at the crowd and asked indifferently: "Can you trust Pindao this time?"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone including Fan Ming nodded.
There is no way, the facts are right in front of you, even if you doubted them before, you have to believe them now.
To be continued...
