When the man in black heard this, he also unconsciously protected his body with mysterious light. He breathed out the light of the shark-tooth sword in his hand, preparing for it. He had always believed in the perception of the man in gray next to him.
The aura that can make them all feel very strong, could there be someone else here?
Zhu Xia Jian... In addition to Ghost Valley, Confucians should also know this location.
But at present, the Confucians have too much time to take care of themselves, so no one will come here.
Who could that be?
"Very strong!"
The swastika marks all over the man in gray flickered, and he slowly calmed down the restlessness in his heart. The golden light in the depths of his eyes converged, and he spoke to the man in black again.
I don't even know what it is.
Maybe he is a powerful practitioner.
Maybe it's a powerful ancient beast.
No matter which one it is..., it's not good news.
"Concentrate your breath."
The man in black raised his eyebrows. In this secret place... the master didn't leave much information, and he didn't mention the existence of any powerful aura.
Did he come here recently?
In any case, the two of them have now entered here, and they have spent a lot of effort to leave like this... It is absolutely impossible, the area here is so large.
As expected, there is a strong aura, so restrain yourself and try to avoid the area just pointed out.
"good."
The man in gray looked at the man in black, thought for a moment, and looked again at the direction of the powerful aura he felt. The golden mysterious light around him was not visible, just like an ordinary person.
Deep in one hand, pointing in another direction, away from that location.
Immediately, the two bodies turned slightly and walked to another place.
After half a stick of incense.
"There's something really weird here..."
"It seems that... there is no cold and cold air left. Flowers and grasses are in full bloom in autumn and winter as before, and they are all of the type of fire. Looking at the direction of the earth's veins... that is the highest point in this area."
"There should be leyline fire and even volcanoes!"
In his hand, he held a fire medicinal herb that was really hard to find in the Central Plains. It was a pity that it was not very precious. He sniffed it lightly... it smelled like the turn of spring and summer.
This place has emerged from the dense jungle, and is a low hilly lowland, slightly flat, with an even gentler river, and various things growing on both sides.
Turning over the words of the classics recorded in my mind, the reason why this phenomenon can occur must be... due to the different terrain and earth veins, the attribute of fire is not uncommon. It can be seen in some places where the fire of the earth veins surges, or where the volcano surges.
"It's just..., the aura of fire here is obviously weaker than the location where we left. Most of the natural materials and earthly treasures grow in extreme and strange weather places."
Walking around, the vitality of the world here is very strong, but it seems a bit violent and domineering. It's okay to stay here for a short time, but it's absolutely impossible to stay here for a long time.
God merges with heaven and earth, and feels it carefully.
If you want to find natural materials and treasures, you must naturally find a suitable place. Where there is an imbalance of yin and yang, natural materials and earthly treasures are most likely to grow, such as the thousand-year-old snow lotus in Buxian Mountain outside the Great Wall of Liaodong.
There is also something like Fire Ganoderma.
Sensing the strength of the flames of the void energy, the man in black took a slow breath and looked towards the direction where the man in gray looked a little horrified.
The aura of fire is the most powerful there.
Even... the most intense.
"Danger!"
The man in gray shook his head, and the fear deep in his heart told him not to go there, otherwise he would be in big trouble and even be in danger of death.
"Don't rush there, let's search here first."
The man in black waved his hand. He believed in the other party's intuition and would not go there rashly, but... it was not that he would not go there. He would wait to walk through the area around him before going there.
If there is any danger, run away immediately.
Otherwise, if you go now and you are really in danger, wouldn't you be returning empty-handed?
"good."
The man in gray was silent for a moment, and after a few breaths, he nodded.
******
"Haha, Tianming, this is the first time you have come to look for me since leaving Xianyang."
"sit!"
"What should I drink? Warm wine or fragrant tea?"
Autumn and winter are a time of peace and tranquility for all places in summer.
The Qin State, as domineering as tigers and wolves, also restrained its edge and did not show its military front, not to mention those who longed for a safe place, especially the cities that were very close to the Qin State's military front.
Lanling City!
The years of autumn and winter are also so quiet. Although quiet, there is a trace of bustle and prosperity that surpasses the previous ones. More and more people come from Yanzhao and the three Jin areas.
They brought a large amount of money to buy and sell courtyards and shops in Lanling City in order to gain a foothold, or to take advantage of the chaos and profit from it, and all kinds of things were countless.
The Spring and Autumn Library is located in the east of the city. In recent months, it has also recruited a group of new disciples, all of whom are young. In addition, Can Jian's profits from the Hexi Business Road are enough to support him.
In the quiet room where he usually practices, Can Jian looked at Tian Ming who was standing quietly in front of him. Can Jian gave him a clear smile. He laughed and asked questions before returning to the library. It seemed that he had not had a good talk with Tian Ming.
After more than half a year, Tianming has grown really fast at his age, and between his eyebrows, there are more and more shadows of the young hero Jing Ke, even though Miss Li has entered Xianyang Palace.
But for Tianming, life is still stable.
In troubled times, being able to do this is enough.
That should be what Miss Li wants.
"Tea."
"Thank you."
Wearing an ordinary linen robe, like a young man in the library who has not yet received the crown ceremony, he only has a bun, his eyebrows are handsome, his eyes are sparkling, he looks at the Broken Sword Hero in front of him, and bows his hands.
Then he said nothing and found a seat behind the wooden table beside him to sit down.
"Don't you have to follow the Second Trade Road out of the Western Regions, Hero Can Sword?"
There are many people in the Spring and Autumn Library, and there is no private property in Lanling City, so the income is not significant. Otherwise, the Broken Sword Hero would not need to go to the Western Regions to do business as a merchant to obtain huge profits and continue the library.
Now, it has been nearly a month since the return of the hero Broken Sword. The people from Shangdao left two days ago, but they did not follow.
A little curious.
After all, in the middle of the trade route from Lanling to the Western Regions, we were separated by the State of Wei and the State of Qin, but now we are separated by the State of Qin, which is thousands of miles away from the east and west.
"No need to follow."
"This time the trade route returned from the Western Regions, passing through the four counties south of the Qin State, passing through Nan County, entering the Chu State, and returning to Lanling."
"Nanjun and other places are now under the jurisdiction of Qin State Wuzhenhou Xuanqingzi. They are quite friendly to merchants and have smooth roads. The two counties in Hexi also have special business areas."
“It’s not pioneering, it’s very easy and you don’t need much.”
Wearing a light white plain gown, her hair was combed into a bunch and fell behind her shoulders. Hearing Tianming's words, he shook his head, if he really wanted to run a business.
Maybe I need to follow him once or even twice. As for now... the road has been explored, and there are special merchant areas in the two counties of Hexi in Qin State.
Merchants from the countries in the Western Regions and merchants from the countries in Shandong gathered together, so transactions were not difficult. What was difficult was to obtain the greatest profit.
However... the greatest benefit is not what you seek, as long as it can meet your expectations. If it exceeds your expectations, even better. As for one trip, you will gain hundreds or thousands of times the benefits.
It’s difficult!
After saying that, he took down a small delicate wooden box from the wooden shelf on the nearby wall, used copper tweezers to pick out some leaves, and dropped them into the pottery cup.
Looking at the small stove in the quiet room, it is not boiling yet, and I feel like this... my heart is turning at will, and the vitality of heaven and earth is moving. In just ten breaths, there is a rapid sound of boiling water.
"Tianming, based on what you have learned in Xianyang Palace, there is not much that can be taught to you about Confucianism in the library. Do you feel a little bored staying in the library and Lanling City all day?"
While preparing tea, Can Jian looked at Tianming and smiled.
Although the teachers in the library are also good, compared with the Confucian Fu Nian and the major doctors from the Central Academy of Qin, they are probably still inferior.
Therefore, there is no need to say more about Tianming’s attainments in the Tao of Hundreds of Schools.
I also learned from my junior sister and other teachers that Tianming didn't have any major events during the time he left. He just stayed in his small courtyard to practice or walked in Lanling City from time to time.
I also came from that age, so I asked this question.
"Never."
Tianming also shook his head.
When leaving Xianyang Palace, I still remember my mother's last words, let myself live well and live well outside, which is how I am now.
"Taste it."
"This is the Lingshuang Feiwu I brought back from the Western Region!"
"This is a leaf that grows on the high mountains of the Xiongnu Mountains in the north. It faces away from the sun and is in the extreme cold. However, it thrives and has been infiltrated by boiling water."
"The cold air arouses, the cold mist spreads, and the aroma fills the air. It has a unique taste. If you taste it carefully, it will have a slightly bitter taste."
Holding a wooden support in hand, he placed a cup of pottery cup that was exuding mist and mist in front of Tianming. He sat down in front of Tianming and introduced it slowly.
Although it is not as pure as the millifolia from the Central Plains, this kind of millifolia with a hint of the atmosphere outside the Great Wall is also a rare thing. The yield is very small and the value is not low.
I liked the taste very much, so I bought some.
“It has a very cold aroma.”
When Tianming heard this, he held the pottery lamp in his hands and looked at the mist emanating from the mouth of the lamp. He felt at close range that there was a unique chill in the boiling water.
Not bad indeed.
In the Central Plains, there are almost no leaves like this.
"Tian Ming came here today to ask questions."
He sniffed it lightly, put the pottery cup in his hand in front of him, sat upright, and then bowed his hands and said the reason for his visit.
"oh?"
"Ask?"
"Practice?"
Can Jian couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this.
Then..., I seemed to have thought of something.
He looked at Tianming up and down and nodded slightly.
Tianming's cultivation level has almost reached the innate peak and even reached perfection. The next step is to transform into a god and practice according to his own perception of Tianming. In fact... transforming into a god is not a level for Tianming.
"Since leaving Xianyang, progress has been a little slow."
"In recent months, although my internal strength has been constantly improving, there has not been much improvement in my realm."
"Without Wu Zhenhou's "Thirteen Postures of Tai Chi", it would have been even harder to suppress the external world and keep the mind quiet."
"Isn't it difficult to become a god innately?"
Tianming nodded, it was indeed about cultivation.
Since coming out of Xianyang, I have practiced step by step and made a lot of progress, but recently it has not been like that. I am in the innate realm and can control the vitality of heaven and earth.
In the state of transformation into gods, he controls the vitality of heaven and earth. The Xuan Gong he practices is not weak, and his level is not low either.
But...I feel like I've encountered some obstacles lately.
There are such obstacles before you can truly break through to the state of transformation. Sure enough, if you encounter that limit, it will be even more difficult.
"In the Xia Dynasty, there is not even one person in a hundred who has entered the level of transformation from the innate level to the level of gods. It is naturally difficult to set foot in that realm."
"But...it's not too difficult for you."
"The mysterious skills you practice are all top-notch among all the Xia, and your qualifications are also top-notch."
"It is rare for you to reach such a state of cultivation at your age. When I cultivated to your level under Master's disciples, I was almost twenty years old."
It seems... there have been quite a few geniuses appearing in the Xia Dynasty in recent years, among hundreds of schools of thought, including Taoist Xuan Qingzi, Xiao Meng and others, Confucian disciples of the Eight Meridians, Mohist disciples, and farmers from the Six Halls.
….
Compared with them, Can Jian felt a little ashamed when he thought about his master's praise for him back then.
Tianming is only on the Earthly Branches now, so there is no need to worry.
He sighed softly and looked towards the sky.
Just the words fell, but I realized that... Tianming was unmoved.
Even so, Can Jian smiled again.
"The level of transformation into gods..., the gods merge with heaven and earth, and control the vitality of heaven and earth."
"Among the hundreds of schools of thought, the only one who can safely break through the barrier in a state of meditation is the Taoist Heavenly Sect. With the Taoist Heavenly Sect's peaceful method, the only one who can ignore the obstacles of spiritual transformation and step into the spiritual transformation."
"Even so, there are not many Taoist Tianzong who can achieve this. The other hundreds of schools, not to mention, all need to carefully perceive such boundaries."
"Tianming, what do you think cultivation is? What is martial arts?"
"Do you know why Jixia Academy advocated Taoism as the official school of Jixia more than a hundred years ago? Even Confucianism, Mohism and other prominent schools have no doubts about this!"
Following the words in his mouth, Can Jian stood up leisurely and said various things about cultivation. These things were also understood after his cultivation was abolished.
Now it is appropriate to say that it will be known until dawn.
"The way to practice is to understand the mysteries of heaven and earth, and to understand the nature of heaven and earth. In this way, you can achieve martial arts."
"Taoist learning is the official school of Jixia. This... seems to have been said by Mr. Fu Nian. It is because the wonderful principles of Taoism are unique and all schools of thought have benefited a lot."
Tianming stood up straight and bowed his hands.
I also know a thing or two about what the Broken Sword Hero asked.
Just a little thought and a word.
I don’t know why the Broken Sword Hero asked about these topics.
"You should also know about Feixue and me."
"Back then, due to the battle in Xianyang Palace, if your mother hadn't been rescued, I'd probably have lost my life. Even so, my cultivation was ruined. To this day... the Dantian in my body is still like a useless person."
"But..., with my current power, it is even stronger than before. It is quite similar to the practice of the Yin Yang family's wise men. They don't practice mystical methods, and they are content with wonderful principles."
"All kinds of power are coming."
Facing Tian Ming's suspicious gaze, Can Jian's face was still smiling, and deep in his heart, he was thinking about what happened in the past. Of course, that matter was the insistence of his junior sister.
But...it's also what I want to do.
But... looking at it now, it's hard to know whether to give it up or not.
As soon as the words fell, the extremely pure Confucian righteousness around him surged from the void in all directions and gathered around him. The clouds and mysterious light shone brightly, adding power to his body.
God merged with heaven and earth, and it was a terrifying power that made Tianming not far away feel a trace of heart palpitations.
