Bing of Nations

() Shi Sheng returned to Wafeng, took out Zhao Xiao's boundary stone, and checked the things inside the boundary stone. There were more than a hundred primary spirit grasses, dozens of first-level spirit grasses, and more than ten second-level spirit grasses. Shi Sheng sighed secretly. Sooner or later, these spirit herbs have to be used to honor Qingqing's little ancestor. Besides the spirit herbs, there are also some pills, gold coins, and many scattered things that Shi Sheng doesn't know. There is only one sentence in the book, "It's worthless". Among them, what Shi Sheng is more concerned about is a green token with the character "Two" written on the front and the character "Zhao" written on the back.

Shi Sheng found a cloth bag among the boundary stones, opened it, and found several pieces of jade inside, he couldn't help taking it out to look through it, and asked curiously, "What is this?" Long Shi snorted, and said, "This is a jade slip, strange, So Zhao Hou is a loose person? No, he has a sect badge, so he should not be a loose person, could it be that he was rebellious, planned or sneaked out?"

Shi Sheng said: "What are you talking about, what scattered people, what jade slips, why can't I understand?"

"Sanren is a bare-boned person who has no sect and cultivates alone." Long Shi pointed to the jade pieces, and said: "These jade pieces in your hand are called jade slips. Made of jade, it can record a lot of information, generally all sects and sects use jade slips to record secret books of exercises so that their disciples can practice."

"Record information?" Shi Sheng wondered, "Isn't that similar to Totem Bingjian?"

"Fart!" Long Shi yelled: "What do you mean almost? It's the difference between heaven and earth! The difference between clouds and mud! One is a pearl and the other is a fish eye, one is in the sky and the other is on the ground! This is the first time I have heard of his nainai." The totem soldier slip is similar to the jade slip, how many times have I told you that the totem soldier slip is a rare treasure of heaven and earth, you must be in awe! Do you understand awe? Brat, you are trying to piss me off!"

Unexpectedly, Shi Sheng said something casually that made Long Shi so angry. He babbled and scolded endlessly. After a long while, Long Shi calmed down, stared at Shi Sheng, and said: "This jade slip records information, it is An extremely expert imitated the Totem Bingjian and painstakingly researched the origin energy technique, even if it is so, it can only imitate this little function, how can it be compared with the Totem Bingjian!"

"So that's it." Shi Sheng nodded, and Long Shi said again: "The origin of the boundary stone is similar, and it is also a space-like source energy technique developed by a supreme master. The origin energy technique he created was transformed into a derivative origin energy technique by later generations, which was handed down and became a means of making money for many warriors."

"The way to make money?" Shi Sheng was puzzled, and Long Shi said: "Warrior training is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also expensive. Buying spiritual herbs, buying pills, buying weapons, buying cheat books, etc., which one does not cost money? Money Where did it come from, did it fall from the sky? You can’t rely on warriors to earn money. Since you want to make money, you have to do business. Making boundary stones and making jade slips are both businesses for warriors to make money. Besides, there are many other businesses. Such as armor making, weapon refining, alchemy, sword casting, appreciating, etc., and even his mother's body, there are too many to count, after you go out and see the world, you will naturally know."

Shi Sheng was speechless for a while, how can such a sacred thing of cultivation be so vulgar and wretched when Long Shi said it, but this also made Shi Sheng understand more about what cultivation is all about. To put it bluntly, cultivation is not only Relying on talent, hard work, and resources, it's no wonder that Luo Yunyang is so arrogant. When he thinks of Luo Yunyang, Shi Sheng's expression turns cold. This person almost kicked him to death. One of the reasons why Sheng worked hard in cultivation was to find Luo Yunyang to avenge that kick.

Shi Sheng snorted coldly, put aside his hatred for Luo Yunyang for now, and asked Long Shi how to check the information in the jade slips. Long Shi told Shi Sheng that it would be easy to inject true energy into the jade, and Shi Sheng did as he said. , but it was useless, as if there was a diaphragm preventing Shi Sheng's true energy from entering the jade slip.

Long Shidao: "This is expected. Any sect regards the secret books of the sect as secrets that cannot be handed down. Only the disciples of the sect can practice them. There must be a seal in each piece of jade slip. The information in the jade slips can only be obtained with the unique method of the Qishan Sect, just like these jade slips are locked, you can’t open it without the key, and only the disciples of the Qishan Sect have that key.”

Shi Sheng said helplessly: "So, these jade slips are useless to me?" Long Shi nodded and said: "That's right, this kind of seal is a means of protecting the sect's skills, in fact, Zhao Hou can bring the jade slips out , it is already unreasonable. Generally, all sects and parties have very strict management of the jade slips, and the disciples of the sect are never allowed to take the jade slips out of the mountain gate. Therefore, Zhao Hou either betrayed the master's sect or went down the mountain secretly, so even Zhou Feng killed him. If Zhao Hou is gone, no one will pursue him, at most they will think that Zhao Hou is rebellious and absconded."

Shi Sheng knew that the secret books and exercises of each sect and party were so closely guarded, and he thought that in the future, he really had to find a sect to learn from.

After putting away the boundary stone, Shi Sheng continued to practice with great concentration. After that, every few days he would go to the barrier to check to see if Zhou Feng had gone and returned. Shi Sheng had never met such a cunning and forbearing person like Zhou Feng. Had to be more careful.

Two months later, Shi Sheng was convinced that Zhou Feng had completely left, so he walked out of the barrier and went back to Fufeng Village to visit Shen Dayou.

Shi Sheng hadn't returned for several months, even though Shen Dayou knew that he was cultivating, he couldn't help but feel worried, seeing Shi Sheng came back, he was naturally very happy, and tidying up the food and drinks to clean up Shi Sheng's dust, Shen Dayou packed all Shi Sheng's things together in the evening, Give it to Shi Sheng, let him settle down in the practice place in the future, and don't have to come back every month to visit and delay his practice. Shen Dayou knows that Shi Sheng is definitely not a thing in the pool, and the vast world outside is the place he should go. The small Fufeng Village couldn't keep Shi Sheng.

It was night, Shi Sheng chatted with Shen Dayou until late at night, and Shen Dayou went back to sleep. Shi Sheng looked at his clothes and sundries, and felt quite emotional. Daniel and the others went to the county guard sub-camp, and he wanted to go to Wafeng to concentrate Practice to prepare for the Qingyun Conference two years later.

Shi Sheng packed his clothes, and suddenly saw an old leather book, and suddenly remembered that when Shen Dayou picked him up, besides Longyu, he only had this wordless leather book on him. Care about it, put it aside, after so many days, Shi Sheng almost forgot, if Shen Dayou hadn't put it away for him, I'm afraid he would have lost it.

Shi Sheng opened the leather book, it was yellow and old, without the slightest touch of spiritual power, and it was not a treasure after all. With the mentality of giving it a try, Shi Sheng injected his true energy into the leather book, who knew that the leather book actually reacted. Gradually, a vicissitudes and simplicity of Chinese ink characters emerged—"Tao".

Shi Sheng wondered: "Could it be that the name of this book is "Tao"?" Shi Sheng opened the cover, but saw only five words written on the first page, "The way of heaven is my way". , quite a sense of atmospheric vicissitudes.

"The way of heaven is my way, what a bold tone!" Shi Sheng shook his head and laughed. The word "Ten Commandments", the second and third lines read: "The first commandment: the peaks and mountains gather together, the sea meets the sea, ask difficulties, step by step, gather together, avoid surplus and deficiency, avoid pulling seedlings to encourage growth, avoid everything False opportunities, this is the first commandment, remember, avoid."

Shi Sheng was baffled and didn't understand the meaning of the admonition, so he hurriedly called out Long Shi and asked Long Shi to refer to it. After Long Shi read it, he let out a "huh" and said, "Who wrote this book?" , When I was picked up by Uncle Shen, I carried Long Yu and this book with me, Long Shi, what does this sentence mean?"

Long Shi pondered for a while, and said: "This commandment roughly means that no matter whether it is the sea or the mountains, they are all formed bit by bit. The cultivation of a warrior is to ask the sky. It is very difficult and needs to be done every step of the way. You must be down-to-earth, the foundation must be solid, and you must not blindly improve your skills to avoid vain cultivation, and you must not overthrow the seedlings, and as for the last sentence, I don’t quite understand why it is not true.”

Shi Sheng knew what he said, and he had a wonderful understanding in his heart, looked at the leather book, and said: "These words are very reasonable." Long Shi nodded and said: "Indeed, there is a way to be strong and weak. Most warriors are greedy and seek more. Hurry up, just want to cultivate quickly, but don't know how to consolidate the foundation, it can be said that the cart is putting the cart before the horse, it is rare for the person who wrote the book to read it so thoroughly, especially the sentence "Don't overthrow the seedlings and encourage them to grow", which won the Samadhi."

Shi Sheng's face was blank, and Long Shi said again: "You don't know now, there are many ways to quickly improve martial arts skills in this world, such as infusing spiritual power, or taking pills, etc., such as 'Wu Ling Pill', after taking it It can increase the cultivation base of a warrior in the living spirit realm by one layer, and you can take up to three pieces. This method is called pulling seedlings to encourage growth. Although the cultivation base comes quickly, it is very vain. Many people understand this truth, but in the face of the temptation to improve the cultivation base , the vast majority of people can’t hold it back, I was going to warn you later, but now I’m taking this opportunity to say it together, boy, you must remember that you must cultivate yourself bit by bit. Because, don't use any other methods of quickly improving your cultivation, you must keep this in mind!"

If Shi Sheng realized something, he nodded and said: "Don't worry, I will definitely remember!" Long Shi smiled slightly and said: "That's right, the person who wrote the book seems to have some knowledge, let's look at the first chapter again. The second commandment." After saying that, he looked down, couldn't help but turn pale with shock, and his face changed abruptly.

But seeing the fourth line read: "The second commandment: keep your potential and avoid taking pills." This time Shi Sheng really didn't understand, and couldn't help wondering: "Why can't you take pills? The pills are only for auxiliary purposes." , and it doesn’t affect your cultivation, why not?” Seeing Long Shi’s expression when he turned his head, he couldn’t help being startled, and said, “Long Shi, why are you…”

After a while, Long Shi came back to his senses, and said: "This sentence... I heard this sentence from a powerful person before. It is a three-point poison. The essence of any pill is to stimulate the potential of the warrior. Everyone in the world only sees the effect of taking pills, but they don't know the potential consumption of pills. That mighty man is such an earth-shattering figure, and what he said is naturally not false. It's strange, who is the person who wrote the book? Who actually knows the depletion of potency by pills."

Shi Sheng said: "Long Shi, please speak clearly, what is potential, and why does taking elixir consume potential?" Long Shi shook his head and said: "These truths are too profound for you now, I told you I don’t understand, anyway, you must do what is written in this book, I can be [-]% sure now, the person who wrote this book is absolutely extraordinary!”

Shi Sheng seldom heard Long Shi praise others. Hearing what he said with such certainty, he couldn't help but believe it a little bit. Thinking back to the five characters written on the first page, "The way of heaven is my way", Shi Sheng had a vague feeling that perhaps writing a book People, probably not bragging.

Shi Sheng looked down again, but there was no text on this page, Shi Sheng turned back again, glanced hastily, but did not see the content of the "Ten Commandments", Shi Sheng said strangely: "What's the matter, why are there only two commandments?" "Long Shi said: "Probably because your cultivation level is not enough, you can only see these two commandments in the Living Spirit Realm, maybe you can see a few more commandments when you reach the Arcane Realm."

Suddenly, Shi Sheng turned the book to the third page, but saw the four characters "Three Seals of Zhenlong" written on it, Long Shi's eyes were sharp, and he could see the clue at a glance, and said: "This page has a seal, you are 'sealing' Inject true energy into the words and see."

Shi Sheng did as he was told, a lot of information flooded into his mind immediately, Shi Sheng closed his eyes to check, it turned out to be a derived source energy technique, after a quick glance, his face immediately became happy, and he hurriedly told Long Shi about this source energy technique After hearing this, Long Shi was full of praise, saying that if this source energy technique is practiced to the extreme, it will definitely be called first-class.

Shi Sheng felt more and more that this old leather book was really a treasure, and hurriedly flipped back, but saw that the back was blank and there were no words. It seems that with Shi Sheng's current cultivation level, he can only see these few pages , but this did not affect Shi Sheng's love for this book at all, and then Shi Sheng named the book "Dao Dian", and carefully included it in the boundary stone. From then on, the status of "Dao Dian" in Shi Sheng's heart was second only to Long Jade.

The next day, Shi Sheng bid farewell to Shen Dayou and officially moved to Wow Peak. No matter the weather, rain or snow, he would not step out of the enchantment. .
