"I wonder how many people like you, senior, still have now?"
Chen Yao's heart moved and asked curiously.
"I don't know, but at present, there are only three of you, including me, and there may be more people, but some may not be able to persevere until this time. Back then, we finally reborn, opened up the heavens, returned to the innate world, and even Keep taking a step forward.”
"However, at that time, the world changed drastically and the last hope was cut off. Everyone realized that their strength was not advancing but retreating, and they were declining and fading every day. It felt very uncomfortable."
"In order to continue living, we have tried our best."
"Maybe for you, we are all old seniors and respected elders, but only we know that in fact we are just a group of cowards, afraid of death and ourselves becoming weak."
The old Taoist priest sighed lightly, with indescribable emotion in his voice.
When he said this, he glanced at Chen Yao and continued: "A thousand years ago, since the Qin Dynasty was unified and a group of Qi Refiners disappeared completely, many things also disappeared, and those ascetic monks were worse than the other generation. Each generation is weaker than the next.”
"According to the records in many classics, it should be that the world has changed, and it is also because of the lack of various martial arts scriptures and methods of practice that has led to the weakening of later generations."
"We are able to achieve success like that, and we have also obtained the legacy of our predecessors. Unfortunately, we found something even more terrifying in the end."
"There are fewer and fewer precious herbs existing on the land of China, and even some basic things that are needed for practice are already difficult to find, and the inspiration between heaven and earth is becoming increasingly thin."
"If it decreases to that extent, everything will disappear within three to five years, and we will be like dust in nature, eventually decomposing and reaching a certain balance."
"In order to live, we have adopted various methods to avoid these problems. Hundreds of years have passed, and although I am also very lucky to live to this day and see the future."
"It's a pity that we are all too corrupt. It's a huge problem to restore to the past."
"When people get old, they talk a lot, and I hope you don't mind."
After hearing the old Taoist priest's words, Chen Yao's questions were solved a lot, and of course more questions emerged.
"I don't mind, I don't mind at all. Thank you for saying so much to me. But now I am still a little confused. I wonder if I am willing to answer?"
"Yes, with your current strength, you should know something. Maybe you can help me in the future. I heard that you have both medical and martial arts, especially the fasting pill, which is very good. Even in my era, I didn't have it. The kind of pill that people can refine.”
"Which line of Taoism are you?"
The old Taoist priest nodded and looked at Chen Yao with great appreciation.
"A junior Qingyun Mountain lineage."
Chen Yao said respectfully.
"Qingyun Mountain! No wonder I care about your breath. I am a disciple of Fellow Daoist Zhang Chunyang. Your lineage has always said that people are not prosperous, and they are as low-key as ever."
"I also visited Fellow Daoist Wu from your Qingyun Mountain lineage. Fellow Daoist Wu did not choose to steal the fortune and live like us, but chose to become natural."
"But now, there is fellow Taoist Zhang Chunyang, and you, a latecomer, who can fully support a world."
"I didn't expect that you were the talented disciple of the fellow Daoist Zhang who mentioned at the time. Now, when I see you, it's even better than I thought."
"Fellow Daoist Zhang is okay now!"
The old Taoist priest had a hint of nostalgia in his eyes, and it sounded like he knew his master.
"Senior, Zhang Chunyang is my master, but I have never seen him before. Only when I encounter martial arts problems occasionally will my master contact you."
"Oh? Your lineage is really... Ask if you have any questions!"
The old Taoist priest looked at Chen Yao with a strange expression and changed his tone.
"Senior, do you know if the characters in the myths and legends exist? And where did the Qi Refiners go? Why did the heaven and earth change? In addition, what realm is above Gangjin?"
Chen Yao asked all the most questions in his heart.
"We don't know whether the characters in myths exist. We have not experienced them and have no say at all. Even some ancient books in the past may not be correct. There must be some of the views or imaginations of the bookmakers themselves. .”
"As for the whereabouts of those Qi Refiners who used to be, we don't know. Maybe they died because of the changes in the world, or maybe they were like us, hiding in the soil like mice."
"We have also followed those ancestors, but unfortunately there is very little information and there is not much discovery at all. All we have discovered is their tombs or their former cave."
"As for why the world changes, according to the records left in some historical books and some things left in the caves of our ancestors, they should be done by the emperor a thousand years ago."
"I believe you must have heard of the Jedi Tiantong!"
"The Mountains and Seas record that Emperor Zhuanxu cut off the sacred trees and built trees, and divided the heavens and man forever. Gods and immortals can no longer easily go to the realm, allowing the race to rule by itself, and the king to grant power to heaven."
"Although this is a myth, it is not difficult to see some clues. It is very likely that the human emperor did something that led to a great change in the world."
"According to the times at that time, there must be many masters. Think about it, the means of Gangjin masters. Thousands of years ago, there was no shortage of inspiration for heaven and earth. Those people might be stronger."
"But in this way, is it not conducive to the rule of the Human Emperor?"
"There are also the burning of books and burying scholars in the Qin Dynasty. Many books about alchemists and qi refining men were destroyed. Maybe it is because of this. Over the years, the overly powerful masters were the ones that the emperors feared the most."
"At least in my time, the emperors of the dynasty were trying to win over us and be on guard."
"Of course, these are some of our speculations at the beginning. I still haven't figured out the specific facts. Perhaps this time, after the great changes in the world, some clues will appear."
After hearing this, Chen Yao was somewhat disappointed.
I originally thought that this old senior would definitely have more things, but now I look at it from this point of view, it seems that I know very limited things.
Of course, Chen Yao also gained something. At least he knew that Gangjin was not the end point, and there was a more powerful realm on it. Perhaps those people thousands of years ago might be as powerful as gods.
"You don't need to worry about anything. When a person is strong, many secrets will no longer be secrets. Gangjin is just a beginning, and it is considered a transition from acquired rebellion to the innate world."
"We Taoism have always paid attention to feeding and nourishing essence, refining essence into qi, and refining qi into spirit. The national skills, external strength, internal strength, transformation of strength, and even alchemy strength that you modern people practice are all the process of building the foundation."
"And Gang Jin is between the acquired and the innate transition."
