Bai Qi concentrated and listened to the wet nurse: "Back then, the nine states were one land, corresponding to the celestial phenomena. The ruins of Kunlun were the core of the nine states. Later, the demons and immortals fought in a melee and the nine states were shattered. The continent where the Jin Dynasty was located was called Zhongzhou. The Zhongzhou
Outside, the ocean surrounds it for hundreds of millions of miles, with Shenzhou in the southeast, Yangzhou in the due east, Xianzhou in the northeast, Xuanzhou in the due north, Zhuzhou in the northwest, Shizhou in the due west, Rongzhou in the southwest, and Yingzhou in the due south.”
Bai Qi heard what the wet nurse said and had never heard of it before. He could not help but be suspicious in his heart, and deliberately showed a look of disbelief on his face.
The wet nurse ignored it and continued: "Besides Zhongzhou, there are many Qi refiners. The country is different from Zhongzhou. Qi refiners control the country. Among them, Shenzhou is the most important."
"What exactly is a Qi Refiner?" Bai Qi couldn't help but ask.
"Then let's talk about the history of Kyushu. In ancient times, Kyushu was unified, and humans and immortals were mixed. The immortal world and the human world were connected by sacred trees. At that time, humans and demons could freely travel to the immortal world. The creatures were powerful, and some did not even need to practice.
It has the power to turn the world upside down."
Bai Qi listened to the wet nurse's eloquent talk and didn't ask any questions.
"No one knows what happened next. They only know that the world was in chaos, the immortals fought in a melee, the Kyushu continent was shattered, the sacred trees disappeared, and the immortal world was missing. After the division of Kyushu, because there was no immortal world, the immortals who stayed in Kyushu
, passed down the Taoist tradition, and all those who practice immortal arts are collectively called Qi Refiners, regardless of the human race or the demon race."
Speaking of this, a trace of mist appeared in the wet nurse's eyes. She lowered her voice and said: "But the Kyushu is divided. Only in Rongzhou, the monster tribe flourishes, and in Xianzhou, humans and monsters live together. The rest of the big states have been
Humanity rules."
"Later, the strong ones among the Qi Refiners formed the Heavenly Court, and wanted to learn from the original fairy world to manage the Nine Provinces. Unfortunately, the Qi Refiners in the Nine Provinces each divided their forces in the Heavenly Court, creating a mess. Later, the Heavenly Court was also divided into many heavens.
If you know why, you won’t care about this Kyushu thing anymore.”
"Since then, few people have known about the barrier between heaven and man, and the matter of heaven and earth. Before that, it was collectively called the ancient era. You are now considered a person in the cultivation world, so I will tell you about this Qi Refiner.
level."
"Qi refiners in the world, no matter what kind of skills they practice, are divided into four levels: refining the essence to transform the qi, refining the qi to transform into the spirit, refining the spirit to return to the void, and returning the void to the Tao. The differences between each level are also
There are only three levels: upper, middle and lower. This refining of Qi is the so-called transformation of acquired energy into innate energy. That is, at your current level, the acquired energy all over your body has turned into innate vitality."
Bai Qi smiled and said, "Then I can be considered a Qi Refiner now?"
"It can't be counted yet. At this level, one can only be called a real person. He can come and go from the world. Innate warriors are no longer opponents. Only when you have refined your Qi and transformed into a god can you be considered a Qi Refiner. After refining the god and returning to the void, that is when you have achieved the golden elixir. Return to the void.
Hedao, even if he does not ascend to heaven, he is still an immortal."
"Aniang, are you an immortal?" Bai Qi asked naturally, but the wet nurse smiled and said: "Qi'er, you want to ask, if your father is in trouble, I can help?"
Bai Qi lowered his head and said, "You can't trouble grandma. Qi'er can also help his father."
"Oh, you are not even a Qi Refiner. You may not be able to protect yourself when encountering an ordinary army. What's more, the capital of the Jin Dynasty is now full of dangers, and people from many sects have infiltrated."
Seeing that Bai Qi looked a little frustrated, the wet nurse said: "I just formed the golden elixir. If I want to make a difference in the capital, I'm afraid it won't work. However, the Duke of Guo, a first-class innate warrior, is almost invincible under the golden elixir. If he enters again,
At the first level, even my mother-in-law is no match. Qi'er, if you practice Taoism, just be able to protect yourself."
"Qi'er understands."
"Well, you are also fifteen years old. In half a year, you will reach the top [Note 1]. Although your teacher is not a corrupt scholar, he has not cultivated Haoran righteousness. I gave you a nickname, Qingming.
There is a sentence in the "Tao Jing" that begins in Beihai and ends in Qingming. If you can cultivate to the point of refining qi and transforming into a spirit in the future, you can call yourself Taoist Qingming."
The old man said yes, and the wet nurse said again: "You should not interfere in the affairs of the Duke of the country. What you usually do is good. After entering the capital, you just treat yourself as a dandy, go out to fight cocks and lackeys, and concentrate on practicing at home."
Bai Qi refused to nod this time, but asked: "Auntie, what kind of disaster is my father facing?".
The wet nurse pondered for a moment and replied: "This starts before the establishment of the Jin Dynasty. The previous dynasty, the Qin Dynasty, lasted for six thousand years. Do you know why it fell?"
"I don't know." Of course Bai Qi had read about the events of the previous dynasty in the book, but if the wet nurse asked this, she would definitely have a different answer than what was written in the book. He didn't bother to repeat the article on paper.
"After the breakup of Jiuzhou, Chixian Zhongzhou was the most chaotic. The first emperor of the Qin Dynasty commanded one hundred thousand Qi Refiners to pacify the world. However, after the founding of the country, he suppressed the Qi Refiners. Those one hundred thousand Qi Refiners were eventually extracted by the First Emperor.
The essence and blood were used to refine twelve hundred-foot bronze figures to suppress the fate of the country."
"Why is this?" Bai Qi was puzzled. The First Emperor was so amazing that even in the books of the Jin Dynasty, he did not dare to completely deny it. Such a person would definitely not do anything to destroy the Great Wall.
"Because in ancient times, saints ruled the country. The destiny of the country was in accordance with the celestial phenomena. Under the protection of the Great Emperor, Ziwei, and the North Pole, the evil spirits were able to ward off the changes. The heretical Qigong practitioners could not shake the foundation of the country at all. However, due to the war between demons and immortals, the immortal world was nowhere to be found.
, even the Ziwei Star Palace disappeared. After that, without the care of heaven, the country’s destiny never lasted more than three hundred years.”
Bai Qi was very excited when he heard it. This ancient secret was completely different from what was written in the book.
"A top-notch Qi practitioner is enough to destroy a country. Since ancient times, people have rarely had a stable life. To be able to live in peace for two generations is already an era of great governance. It was because of this that the First Emperor wanted to rebuild humanity.
Suppress the immortals and demons.
"This First Emperor is also a hero." Bai Qi sighed.
"Yes, it's a pity that there was too much killing, but he didn't live for more than a thousand years. During the six thousand years of the Qin Dynasty, the Qi Refiners withdrew from the core of Zhongzhou and no longer participated in the secular power struggle. Later, when the Qin Dynasty fell and the Jin Dynasty rose, these Qi Refiners were able to
Become active again, why do you think it is?"
Bai Qi shook his head, and the wet nurse said: "The twelve hundred-foot bronze figures cast by the First Emperor were lost. The Jin army captured Lishan and did not get this treasure that suppressed the national destiny. However, the founding emperor of the Jin Dynasty also knew not to let the Qi refiners interfere in government affairs.
, I still found a way to cast the Jiuding to replace the twelve hundred-foot-long bronze figures."
"The power of this Jiuding must be inferior to that of the Bronze Man?"
"Of course, that's why the Jin Dynasty had the position of national master, and all the sects who cultivated immortals wanted to take part in this position so that their own traditions could be carried forward."
When Bai Qi heard this, he didn't understand what this had to do with his father.
Just listen to the wet nurse say: "Originally, it is not a problem for the Great Jin Dynasty to survive for another three to five thousand years. It's just that the current Holy Emperor, somehow, got the news about the Baizhang Bronze Man of the Great Qin Dynasty, and sent Yu Lin.
Take these twelve bronze figures back to the capital and build a bronze figure palace in the western suburbs of Yanshan to enshrine these artifacts from the previous dynasty and suppress the fate of the country."
At this time, Bai Qi understood without the wet nurse's explanation. His father probably wanted to supervise the construction of the Bronze Man Temple. However, all the Qi Refiners in the world would regard his father as an obstacle to destroying the Bronze Man.
"That's right, Qi'er, your father has been granted the title of Crown Prince and Tutor, and also holds the post of Sikong. This Sikong's position was a censor in the Jin Dynasty, but in the previous dynasty, he was in charge of all matters such as engineering and construction supervision.
Only under the Three Dukes. But in ancient times, Sikong was responsible for supervising the construction of altars to worship ancestors."
Bai Qi felt cold in his heart and said, "Didn't my father get on the fire?"
"Exactly, but Qi'er, all the immortal cultivating sects in the world who have thirty-six caves and seventy-two blessed lands don't care much about this matter. It's the sects that don't have caved heavens and blessed lands that regard your father as a life and death enemy."
Bai Qi was in a confused mood and did not ask what the Cave Heaven Blessed Land was. He only said: "Mom, please save my father!"
Duke Yu Guo Bai Jian is already at the pinnacle of martial arts, with a first-class innate talent. But facing the world's Qi masters, Bai Qi doesn't think his father has any chance of survival. Even his wet nurse dare not say that he is invincible in the Jin Dynasty, but his father's strength
, according to the wet nurse, she is still below her.
"Why are you panicking?" the wet nurse scolded and said: "The Jin Dynasty also had Jiuding to suppress luck. If the Qi Refiner wanted to assassinate the minister of the DPRK near the capital, he would have risked his life. And the Baizhang Bronze Man, the Qi Refiner
Don't dare to approach him easily. As long as your father stays far away from the bronze man, his life will not be in any danger."
Bai Qi was still panic-stricken. He had seen how powerful the Qi Refiner was. The monk from Honglian Temple almost killed himself and Xiao Yu with a casual attack. He was also an acquired first-grade warrior. In front of the monk, he even
There is no ability to resist.
The battle of the Qi Refiner is not about fighting you with swords and guns.
"Don't think about it. I will follow you to the capital. If the Duke of Guo is in danger... he can only take one step at a time! Now, write down this Taoist secret."
As the wet nurse said this, she put her hand on the top of Bai Qi's head. Bai Qi felt a chill in his head, and a thought penetrated directly into the depths of his mind and was imprinted in his memory.
A 36,000-word formula was memorized by Bai Qi.
