In front of a group of monks, Wei Shiqi magnanimously put Dongming City into the Waterfall Sword. Everyone was amazed and worried. Once they entered his cave, wouldn't they be at the mercy of others? However, the various conveniences provided by Dongming City are irresistible, making it difficult to choose between them.
Chu Ge’s eyes flickered, repeatedly guessing his intentions, but he couldn’t figure it out. Changing place, he wanted to keep the secret of Dongtian in his own hands no matter what, how could he be so magnanimous and make it public. What does Wei Shiqi want? Is he really about to ascend? Even so, he should pass on the Waterfall Sword to Qin Zhen, leaving a back-up move to help her control Dongming City... It's nerve-wracking, it's really nerve-wracking...
He lowered his head and pondered for a moment. , Wei Shiqi said: "Let's all disperse - tomorrow morning, if you want to stay in Dongming City to avoid natural disasters, go to Chenghou to settle down, the cabinet shop on Lianyao Mountain, the Gongde Hall on Lianyao Mountain, the Silver Hook Square on the Song of Silence. The four houses still follow the old practice, each family manages it by themselves, and the redundant shops and buildings are either rented or sold, and the residence at the foot of the mountain is left to Chen Suzhen to draw up a charter to properly accommodate the people who move in, without any loss. ."
His voice echoed in the night sky and reached everyone's ears clearly. Everyone carefully chewed on the meaning of the words, and everyone with a little sense was shocked. The rise of Dongming City broke the divisions between sects, and sect inheritance became less important. They were replaced by interest groups such as the direct line of the city lord, Kunlun, the Kunlun branch, the Nanman three sects, the loose cultivator alliance, etc. Among these groups, family background is of course important. It means a shortcut, but it is not absolute. Character and ability are the foundation for promotion. A mere mortal from Jinsan Province entered the cabinet shop on the recommendation of Jin Xiaodie. He worked under Chu Ge from apprentice to shopkeeper, and then switched to Ruan Jing's sect and became the shopkeeper. The backbone of the city lord's lineage is the best example. Now, Wei Shiqi has finally taken a crucial step. "Registering" means that while they accept the protection of Dongming City, they will also bear corresponding responsibilities, such as taxes and labor, and the sect will be further dispersed. Perhaps they belong to the same sect from now on, the Dongming Sect. < /p>
Ruan Jing hugged Feijian and subconsciously pursed her lips, but stopped talking. Her heart was a little confused.
The cold wind whimpered and the sky was covered with darkness. Qin Zhen walked side by side beside Wei Shiqi, reaching out to hold his arm, her mood improved little by little. She chatted with him about trivial matters. For example, Xie Jinglan came to Dongming City with his Hu wife and mixed-race daughter. The wife couldn't speak Chinese and smiled blindly. The daughter's name was Uwe, who was smart. He is cute, looks like a little adult, and likes to eat blood sausage. Another example is that the Central Plains suffered a tragic disaster, the earth cracked and stars fell, and countless people died. Xu Li rushed to Dongming City to ask for help under the protection of Xin Laoyao and Yue Zhilan, but he was headless. He was scurrying around like flies, unable to find a way out. Qin Zhen wanted to help, but was unable to do anything.
Wei Shiqi listened quietly, occasionally adding a word or two. He knew that what Qin Zhen needed was to listen and accompany her.Yu Yao and Yu Yao are two completely different people. She is smart, determined, knows what she wants, is willing to pay the price, and knows how to make choices. Relatively speaking, Yu Yao is weaker, and this weakness is more reflected in her spirit. She is a bit indecisive and worried about gains and losses. It is the outer shell that is hard, not the inner one. Yu Yao would rather abandon her body and join the Eight Female Immortals Leping, escape from the cruel world, read poetry, sing songs, and spend the rest of her life peacefully, rather than struggling and waiting in the world. This is her choice. Wei Shiqi is willing to fulfill her. It doesn't matter what's right or wrong, whether it's good for her or not. If you think clearly about it, if you want to go, then go.
After talking for a while, Qin Zhen changed the topic and asked about Feisheng. Wei Shiqi thought about it and felt that there was no need to hide it from her, so he briefly explained a few words.
One day in the middle of the mountain, a thousand years have passed in this world. The speed of time in this world is different from that in the upper world. To ascend to the upper world, you have to experience the erosion of the torrent of time, and your physical body will collapse and nothing will survive. The ancient monks thought hard and spent countless efforts, and finally created the "Soul Refining Divine Weapon", which can open the eyes of the soul, absorb the soul, use the power of the soul to refine the body, resist the torrent of time, and be able to ascend.
Qin Zhen listened very carefully and attentively. She asked: "The torrent of time washes away the physical body, but it does not harm the soul?"
"Yes, the monk who failed to ascend, the physical body All are defeated, but the soul is intact. If you use secret techniques to extend your life, you can live forever." Wei Shiqi remembered Li Hui, Zheng Chiba, Liu Yunxiao and Guoyuan under the Demon Suppressing Tower, and Yin Mobei and Sheng Jingwei under the Black Dragon Pond. , the former relies on the treasure of the cave, and the latter relies on the demonic energy to infuse the body to extend consciousness in different ways, but there is no doubt that they are not "human" anymore.
"If the ascension fails, can the soul still be reincarnated?"
"Well, it stands to reason, but you have to know-" Wei Shiqi raised an index finger, "First of all, body-seizing and reincarnation are two different things. Body-seizing means that the soul takes over another person's body, just like pouring water into an empty bottle. Reincarnation means that the soul is immortal and is thrown into the mother's womb to become a human again. Secondly, body-seizing is not easy. How many monks have you got? The demon clan has a secret technique to seize the body. It is because their souls are strong enough to withstand the impact of the body seizing. If it were a person in this world, their souls would have been wiped out and annihilated. Shedding Bian Ya's body seems to be an easy task. Don't forget that she is the daughter of Sky Fox. She survived the awakening of her bloodline and her soul is tenacious. With Jiuli using the Demon Suppressing Tower to help, she found a way out of danger. As for reincarnation, you need to abandon your heavenly cultivation, wipe out all memories, and be willing to undergo the six reincarnations. Let’s not talk about how difficult it is to be reincarnated as a human body. Taking a step back, even if you are lucky enough to be reincarnated, if you don’t have the protection of a master, you can only practice Taoism as a mortal. After living a dull life, if someone takes a step back, even if someone is admitted to the school, his qualifications may not be good. If he is reduced to a low-level disciple who is sent to do odd jobs and is looked down upon, can he be willing to be reincarnated? The road is actually no easier than seizing one's body. Only when one's soul is immortal and breaks through the realm of heaven and man, and recalls everything in the past life and this life, can one truly realize the two lives of being a human being."
Qin. Zhen said quietly: "Just like Jin SanSave that? "
Wei Shiqi stopped and glanced in surprise. Qin Zhen smiled sweetly at him and hugged his arm tightly.
"Did Ruan Jing tell you? "
"Well, Elder Ruan told me a lot of things, but it turns out you kept it from me..." Qin Zhen said quietly, "I know you are doing it for my own good, but..."
Wei Shiqi held her in his arms and said, "What else do you know? "
"Jin Sansheng is the reincarnation of Kunlun master Ziyang Taoist, right? "
"Yes, what else? "
"Elder Ruan took the body of Bian Ya, refined the mountain and river vitality lock, locked the vitality, and could fly to the upper world with you, right? "
"...What else? "
"The soul is absorbed into the Eight Female Immortal Music Screen, and it can pass through the torrent of time and not be afraid of the power of time, right? "
"..."
"You plan to take Yu Yao away, abandon me, and stay alone in this world. Senior brother, do you know how cruel this is? ! ”(..)
