Cultivating Immortality in a Chaotic World of Demons and Martial Arts - Chapter 783

[Chapter 781 Land]

It’s night.

The moon and stars are sparse, and crows crow in the sky.

“Another lifetime of vicissitudes…”

Fang Xi raised her head and looked at the bright moonlight in the sky, knowing that the human world had changed.

This is no longer the land of seven days and nine months in the Earthly Immortal Realm, but a small realm under the jurisdiction of that Thousand Worlds…!

He was wearing Taoist robes and holding half a square of gray-black inkstone in his hand, ready to return immediately if something went wrong.

‘After all, it is the lower realm… maybe there will be interface power to suppress it, or even force it to ascend? ‘

But at this time, Fang Xi didn’t feel much interface pressure.

I can only hear the clear springs flowing slowly in the mountain streams, and the sound is like beads falling on a jade plate.

Occasionally, there are one or two chirping of insects and birds, which brings the interest of the mountains and fields.

“Five Elements Spell…”

He made a secret with one hand, and a firelight on his palm tenaciously lit up for a few times, but eventually went out.

“It’s not that it can’t be used, but it seems that some modifications need to be made…”

“This world is not very friendly to monks below Huixu.”

Fang Xi released his consciousness and felt the difference in this world.

Among the three thousand small worlds under the jurisdiction of the Earthly Immortal Realm, the Five Elements spells are common to all walks of life without any obstacles, and they can all find their source in the Earthly Immortal Realm. It can be said that different paths lead to the same destination.

But although this small world seems to be very similar to those small worlds, Fang Xi is sure that if monks who refine Qi and build foundations are allowed to come, they may lose most of their magic power and become a ‘mortal’ with nothing. .

It will be slightly better at the stage of pill formation and Yuanying. After all, the body of the immortal cultivator that has been tempered by spiritual energy is not empty.

But for the monks who transform themselves into gods, it’s even more of a big trap!

“It seems difficult to activate the spiritual power of heaven and earth in this world…”

“Fortunately, after returning to the void, it is not the spiritual power of heaven and earth that is activated, but the vitality of heaven and earth!”

As soon as Fang Xi thought, a dark cloud covered the moon, a strong wind blew, and there was pattering on the ground. There was a light rain.

Call for the wind and rain!

It is nothing to the returning cultivator who controls the vitality of the world. After all, he is already in the late stage of returning to the void…

There seems to be indescribable vitality mixed in these rains.

On the piece of loess where he was located, countless weeds grew wildly, becoming isosceles high in the blink of an eye.

Unknown flowers are blooming, which is quite exciting.

When a cultivator reaches a high level, any way he can show off his skills is like a miracle!

Suddenly, Fang Xi seemed to sense something and made a secret with one hand.

A layer of black mist flashed past, and his figure disappeared.

After a while.

There was a flash of earthy yellow light on the ground, and a small figure escaped from the ground.

He has a fluttering white beard, holds a peach wood staff, is dressed like a rich man, and has a forehead like a longevity peach.

At this time, he was looking around with a face full of surprise: “Lingyu? Which Dragon King is passing by… Alas, such a great god, I am not a mediocre land man who can pay homage…”

This old man is only the size of a palm, After casting a spell, he collected a few seeds and fruits full of spiritual energy, and then disappeared in a flash of light and shadow.

From beginning to end, he never noticed that Fang Xi was staring at him with interest.

“What… spirit is this?”

Of course Fang Xi couldn’t understand the other party’s words, but she had already memorized them.

As long as you learn the local language, you can clearly understand what this little monster is saying.

“A spirit naturally proficient in the art of earth escape… No, this is not a mana fluctuation… but another power system?”

Fang Xi stepped forward, as if shrinking into an inch, and followed behind the little spirit.

Although the opponent’s Earth Escape Technique is like a natural instinct, how could it escape his sight?

Not long after, a mountain village appeared in Fang Xi’s eyes.

Outside the mountain village, there is a jade belt-like river that flows slowly around the village.

It was dark at this time, and apart from the crowing of cocks and the barking of dogs, there was almost silence among the hundreds of houses.

The little spirit came to the end of the village and got into a low temple.

This temple is square in shape, but it is built very compactly and is not as big as a dog house.

In front of the temple, there was an earthen incense burner, half of which was broken, with several offering dishes placed next to it.

Fang Xi looked at this scene and couldn’t help but be stunned: “So it’s not a little earth-escape monster, but… a land lord?”

Although there are no such things as ghosts and gods in the world of immortality, he had heard many such things in his first life. mythical.

“It looks like it wasn’t mana fluctuations before, but… divine power? Gods from the East? I don’t know if there are Western gods or something like that. It’s really interesting…”

An interested smile appeared on the corner of Fang Xi’s mouth.

…

Baigan Village.

Most of the villagers here have the surnames Bai and Gan. Chickens and dogs can be heard in the village, and a stretch of houses stretches out.

Gan Yu carried a bundle of firewood on his back and pushed open the fence of his house.

Under the hut, the old mother smiled: “Yu’er is back, the porridge has been served…”

“Have you eaten, mother?”

Gan Yu put down the firewood, scooped up a gourd of water, and drank it down, trying to suppress the hunger in his heart.

However, I drank too much water, and my stomach felt a little sluggish when I walked, which was very uncomfortable.

“I’ve already eaten.”

Gan Yu’s mother sat in front of the steps, trying to mend her clothes with the help of daylight.

She was obviously only a woman under forty years old, but her back was already hunched, her temples were white with frost, and her clothes were covered with patches.

Gan Yu walked into the room and saw that there was still half a bowl of porridge in the pottery bowl on the wooden table, with some cassava roots mixed in it and congealed into lumps.

When he saw this scene, his eyes turned red, and he knew that the old mother only drank a little porridge and soup and kept all the dry food for herself.

He quickly said: “My child is not hungry. I have already picked some fruits and ate them on the way…”

“In this season, where can we find any wild fruits? Besides working in the fields, my son also has to study and prepare for the exam. In the future, he will pass the Taoist exam. Even if I only have half an official status, I will be able to enjoy the blessings…”

Gan Yu’s mother warned her verbosely, her demeanor not like that of an ordinary peasant woman.

The Gan family had a virtuous ancestor and once served as county magistrate. However, he was later involved in a major case and was deprived of his Taoist membership. However, he had several Taoist scriptures passed down to his family.

Gan Yu’s branch once supported a scholar who almost passed the talent examination!

However, his body was too weak and he died of a sudden illness in the examination room. As a result, this branch fell into ruin.

Now Gan’s mother can’t forget that Gan Yu can inherit his father’s legacy and pass the Taoist examination!

Gan Yu wiped his tears and did not eat porridge, but just worked.

After finishing his work, he went to the back room, took out a Taoist scripture from the coarse cloth package, and read it carefully.

Although this Taoist scripture has long been outdated, its previous owners were book lovers and it has been well preserved.

While reading, Gan Yu’s thoughts fell like raindrops on his heart.

When Taoism governs people, it is tested by the “Tao Jing”.

The first is the county examination. Those who pass the examination are called “Tongsheng”, and some are also called “Taotong”. They are considered to be half-registered Taoists and have half-official status. No one in the countryside dares to bully them.

After passing the Taotong exam, you can take the state exam. If you pass the state exam again, you will be called “jucai”, which means to promote talents for the “taoting”.

After recruiting talents, one becomes a ‘Jinshi’, who takes the exam every three years in the capital, and those who win are called ‘Jinshi’ and ‘Jinshi’!

If you take this step, you will truly become a Taoist. You can be appointed as an official or serve in the Taoist court. In the future, you will become prosperous and your future will be limitless.

However, there is a voluminous “Tao Jing” with thirty-six volumes in total. Each volume contains a small and profound meaning. Even if there are scholars who are knowledgeable about the scriptures, they may not be able to fully understand it.

How difficult is it to pass the boy test?

“There are thirty-six volumes of the Tao Jing, and my family only has six…”

Gan Yu secretly calculated: “Although the boy test is the easiest, you must be proficient in memorizing the Tao Jing to pass…”

In fact, his family only has One volume of “Tao Jing”, by borrowing and copying from each other in the village, I could barely make up six volumes.

But the remaining thirty volumes are secretly passed down by various families. It is absolutely impossible to collect them without borrowing them from private schools in the county or from wealthy families.

After all, the thirty-six volumes of the “Tao Jing” are the only way to advance into the human body in this world!

On the road to success, the fewer competitors, the better.

If ordinary poor children want to study and make progress, they must first face this natural obstacle.

Gan Yu sighed and walked out of the house, only to see that his old mother had stuffed a basket over with a basket full of eggs: “My son… a new ‘Mr. Fang’ has moved into the village. He seems to be a scholar. There is a box of books, you can go and visit…”

“Mom…”

Gan Yu didn’t expect that his old mother had been thinking about this. He was very moved and felt that the basket in his hand was almost as heavy as a thousand catties.

This basket of eggs represents only half of the family’s wealth.

But at this time, he said seriously: “Yes, let’s go now…”

“Wait, it’s not urgent, let’s eat porridge first…”

Gan

Yu carried a bamboo basket covered with indigo cloth. Walk along the bluestone road in the village.

Not long after, they came to a house.

This household is located in the corner of the village and looks very quiet and quiet. There is a fence around the courtyard, but instead of raising chickens, they plant a peach tree.

At this time, a middle-aged man in green shirt was reading under the peach tree.

“Gan Yu, meet Mr. Fang…”

Gan Yu saluted, thinking of the rumors about Mr. Fang.

Mr. Fang is a teacher who likes to read by nature and has failed many times. Later, he was invited by the Bai family to be a teacher and specialized in teaching several children to read.

Although several households in the village have the surname Bai, naturally only the largest landlord named Bai can afford a teacher.

It is said that when this gentleman came, he brought a whole box of books with him. At first glance, he seemed to be a well-educated person.

Little did they know…

Fang Xi had just learned to speak at that time, and then started to read…

“It turns out to be Ayu…” Fang Xi put down the book in her hand and smiled slightly: “You are here, why are you

so

polite?”

He didn’t want to cause a bloody incident, so he simply went out to collect some local books, then came to the small village where the Tu Tu Gong was, and found an excuse to live there.

The old man of the Bai family just met him once on the roadside, and he performed a little charm on him. He was immediately amazed and hired him as a teacher, and even took the trouble to find a place to live.
