Chapter 145: The Loneliness of an Immortal Cultivator
The teleportation array to the low-spirited land cannot be opened casually. In theory, as long as you are a monk in the foundation-building stage and have spiritual energy in your body, you can open the teleportation array.
However, the teleportation array to the low-spirited land must be reported to the sect in advance to confirm that permission has been obtained.
If you teleport privately, the sect's formation will directly launch an attack.
We know this because one of the requirements of the guards is that if a cultivator is killed by the sect's formation because he opened the teleportation array privately, the nearest sect's guards must go to protect the scene as soon as possible, but they are not allowed to set foot on it. Within the range of the teleportation array.
The 360 guards of Liuyun Sect do not inform each other of their names, only their numbers.
It is divided into ten groups: Yanfeng, Zhanmeng, Rouzhao, Qiangyu, Zhuoyong, Tuwei, Shangzhang, Chongguang, Xuanxuan and Zhaoyang.
Zhou Tai is No. 23 of the Shangzhang Group, referred to as Shangzhang No.23.
Guards are not allowed to chat with each other when on duty on weekdays, and the high-grade magic weapon suit that covers the whole body must be worn all day long. Therefore, Zhou Tai works as a guard at Hualong Pond with another sect guard, but he is almost the same to each other. Nothing is known.
In short, you can only take off your equipment when you return to your cave.
Zhou Tai finally had a real cave, which was opened at the foot of a mountain called Qi Ling Peak. It covered an area of several hundred square meters and had a protective formation at the door. Only the corresponding guard tokens could enter and leave.
This was not specially opened for him, but there was already a cave for the exclusive sect guard Shang Zhang Twenty-Three. When I first came here, it was very clean, because the previous Shang Zhang Twenty-three had also just left.
The place is spacious, bright and clean, and there is also a place for practicing martial arts. Zhou Tai is very satisfied, so this is called Dongfu.
He didn't even have a name for the few simple caves he had before, because they were too perfunctory. They either dug a hole in the mountain or dug a hole in the soil.
It doesn't feel like a cultivator, it would be an understatement to say it looks like a pangolin or a marmot.
When not on duty, although there is no order prohibiting communication between guards, the guards are ordered not to go to each other's caves. If violated, the minimum punishment is to be imprisoned for ten years.
It is speculated that this is to prevent the guards from becoming more familiar with each other, and it may also be a measure to prevent them from becoming one on their own.
This kind of life as a sect guard gave Zhou Tai a very unfree feeling, but he could only let himself get used to it slowly.
Only the three guard supervisors are relatively clear about the situation of all sect guards, and they are responsible for the arrangement and delegation of all tasks.
There are always some slight differences in the magic weapon suit on each guard. Zhou Tai guessed that the guard supervisor used this to distinguish who is who.
I have also thought that if the sect does this, isn't it afraid that someone will pretend to be a guard and cause trouble? After all, the cultivation level in the foundation building period is not very high.
Or is this a method used by some people in the sect to cause trouble for each other? He has some guesses about this, but he has never seen anything happen because of it.
In the third month of guarding the sect, all the spiritual power in the body was converted into spiritual essence. I found that the intensity of the spiritual consciousness further increased, but I did not dare to try to expand the scope. When I occasionally used the spiritual consciousness, I tried my best to control it within the body. Within the range of ten feet.
In the fifth month of being a sect guard, the "Spiritual Sound Transmission" was completed. The "Ascension Technique" is an auxiliary technique that can only be practiced after the foundation is completed in the later stage of foundation building. It cannot be practiced. The technique "Ghost Pulse Destruction" cannot be understood. , Zhou Tai began to take time out to practice basic swordsmanship every day.
He didn't feel that his foundation was unstable, but he felt that he had no foundation at all in using a sword. Even if he used his spiritual sense to control the sword, he could only stab straight and blindly.
I don’t know much, and I don’t have anyone to teach me. All I can do is practice what I know until practice makes perfect, and then work hard to reach the top.
After establishing the foundation, the body is still growing and maturing. Cultivation can increase longevity, but it only reduces the aging rate of the appearance. One day, Zhou Tai looked at his appearance in the mirror, took an ordinary beauty pill, and changed his appearance.
His appearance is fixed at that of a man in his twenties, mainly because he wants to make it easier for the other person to recognize him when he meets someone again.
One day in the seventeenth year of the sect guarding, the number of available strengthening points exceeded the one hundred thousand point mark.
Zhou Tai was indifferent to this and had no intention of trying. Although there was a so-called protective formation in the cave, he had tried it and it could indeed prevent the detection of spiritual consciousness, but Zhou Tai would not completely believe it if something big happened.
The movement is bad.
Except for when I was just promoted to the foundation building stage, I was a little surprised because I was suddenly prompted to add points, and I subconsciously operated a few strengthening points to add and recycle. In the past ten years, I have not used any strengthening points, and I have never tried it.
In his 20th year as a sect guard, Zhou Tai's biggest feeling was loneliness, and at the same time he missed someone more and more, and as time went by, this feeling became more and more serious.
He found that he was really not the kind of person with a strong mind who regarded hundreds of years of hard work as nothing, but he already missed him like a tide after twenty years.
Can't leave! Can't leave! It should be fine!
What is most in my heart is this sigh.
Sometimes he would think: cultivating immortals can lead to immortality, but if this immortality consists of living in this kind of loneliness, it really is not worth living.
Whether you are a human being or a cultivator, there are always some most important concerns in your heart, and your heart cannot be as empty as death.
The sect guards always stand like wooden figures, mechanically repeating the same things every day. Sometimes they feel numb, but sometimes they can find a warmth in their memories.
The green mountains are blown by the cold wind, and you can see the setting sun shining in the distance.
This heart is long.
She is still young and has no troubles, no disturbances, and a lot of loneliness.
I once dreamed that Xiaoyun smiled at people during the art of rain.
The heart that rushes thousands of miles, the wind rises and the clouds disappear.
Dream back to beautiful women
A good man cannot let his present day go to waste.
I really want to...
When I was guarding the sect for thirty years, I was lucky enough to witness a competition among Liuyun Sect disciples to advance to entry level.
Liuyun Sect has three quotas for disciples to join the sect every three years, but these are all competed for by some family members within the sect.
For each competition, twenty sect guards must be deployed to take up positions. This is a rotation. For this competition to compete for three places, Zhou Tai witnessed the entire process.
He didn't understand many of those brilliant techniques, and was more shocked by the cruelty of this kind of competition.
More than thirty people competed for three spots. In addition to more than ten deaths, most of the rest were seriously injured, and the least serious ones were just a few minor injuries.
What caught Zhou Tai's attention the most was a female cultivator who was very good-looking, on par with Ji Jingxin, but her figure was even more attractive.
Describe your appearance in one sentence: She is stunningly beautiful.
Describe your figure in one sentence: A beauty with natural eyebrows.
In the last fight, she exchanged lives with her opponent. The opponent died on the spot, and she was also seriously injured and hammered to death on the spot.
Originally Zhou Tai thought she might die and never see her again.
But three years later, she appeared at the door of Hualong Pond with a permission token and walked past Zhou Tai.
This Hualong Pond is for the use of Liuyun Sect's foundation-building disciples, and every foundation-building disciple has a chance to come here almost once every two years.
Therefore, Zhou Tai would see this inhumanly beautiful female cultivator almost once every two years.
This is his favorite beautiful scenery in his guarding career.
He didn't know whose wife this female nun would be in the future. At this time, Zhou Tai could especially understand the saying that other people's wives are good.
The lonely thoughts and the only scenery were the most distracting times when he was on duty.
