Catalog of Destruction

Luojing is located on the bank of the Luo River, in the middle of the plain. It is the largest city in the world. The city is square in shape. Nine horizontal and nine vertical roads divide the entire city into squares of different sizes. Every day there are no less than Millions of people make a living here.

Shi Xuan took the enchanted flag, dressed as a wandering Taoist priest, and walked through the bustling crowd on Zhuque Street. He has been in Luojing for seven or eight days. These days, he has been asking around for the location of Huilong Temple. Who knows that this Taoist temple is not famous and no one knows about it.

In the end, Shi Xuan sneaked into the Yamen of Luojing Mansion, looked through the temple directory, and asked the clerk who was in charge of this matter. Only then did he find the location of the Dragon Temple, which turned out to be in the most remote corner in the west of the city.

After turning a corner, the crowds of people gradually became sparse. When we reached Anlefang, we could only see children playing in twos and threes on the road. The surrounding buildings were dilapidated and had not been repaired for a long time. At first glance, it was a place where poor people lived.

Very few outsiders come here. As soon as Shi Xuan entered the workshop, children followed him sparsely, laughing and joking, as if they were watching the fun.

Huilong Temple is in the northernmost part of Anlefang, and it is also the least populated place. There is not a single house around for several hundred meters, and there is only a dilapidated Taoist temple standing there alone.

When Shi Xuan saw Huilongguan, he almost couldn't believe his eyes. It was too shabby. It probably hadn't been repaired for decades, and he could even see that some of the roofs of the houses were damaged.

Walking to the door of the Taoist temple, looking at the door that seemed to fall down if pushed, Shi Xuan gently knocked three times, and then three times. Unexpectedly, no one answered the door for a while, so Shi Xuan had to knock hard again. I opened the door a few times and then waited again, but no one came to open the door.

Shi Xuan had no choice but to summon up his inner energy and started knocking. The door was swaying and about to fall down. At this time, a clear and lazy voice came from the Taoist temple: "Who is this? In broad daylight, , What door are you knocking on, are you bothered?"

With a burst of slow footsteps, the door in front of him was finally pulled open before it fell. What appeared in front of Shi Xuan was a delicate and handsome Taoist boy. He frowned and shouted to Shi Xuan: "Let's go quickly." , there is no one you are looking for here.”

"Pindao is here to find Taoist Master Piequanzi." Seeing this, Shi Xuan had no choice but to explain his purpose directly.

When the beautiful Taoist boy heard Shi Xuan's reply, his eyes that were still a little sleepy opened. He looked at Shi Xuan up and down, and finally pulled out a perfunctory smile at the corner of his mouth: "I still want to say that When did the old Taoist priest fall in love with you? But it seems that it was because of that incident. Since you know his name, come in. He is reading scriptures in the quiet room. "

Shi Xuan didn't understand what this Taoist boy meant, but since he was allowed in, he should seize the opportunity.

Following Taotong and walking in, Shi Xuan tried every means to get words out of him, but Taotong was very tight-lipped, and besides yawning all the time, he didn't even tell Shi Xuan his name.

After walking to a dilapidated room, the Taoist boy said, "This is the quiet room. Come in with me." After saying that, he pushed the door open and walked in without knocking. Shi Xuan had to follow behind him. Go inside.

The quiet room is very empty, with only a futon and a desk. Sitting on the futon was a thirty-year-old Taoist priest in black clothes and a high crown. He was exactly the same as Chu Yuyan described. He had an ordinary face and a mustache, which made him look a little wretched. But based on his ability that his appearance has not changed for decades, he far surpasses Shi Xuan.

The Taoist priest was sitting on the futon, with the scripture in his hand almost falling to the ground. His eyes were looking at the scripture, but they were tightly closed. He moved his head little by little, and there was something suspicious like saliva at the corner of his mouth.

The Taoist boy walked up to him and stamped his feet. He immediately straightened his body, straightened his head, and woke up. He looked at the Taoist boy blankly. The Taoist boy said flatly and disrespectfully: "You have a guest." Then he didn't even look up. He turned around and walked away.

The Taoist priest touched his mouth and murmured to himself: "I'm old, I'm old. The Taoist priest has reached the age where he can even fall asleep while reading scriptures." Then he raised his head and looked at Shi Xuan with sleepy eyes: "You Looking for Master Dao?"

"Your honor is Taoist Priest Pienquanzi, junior Shi Xuan." Shi Xuan still answered respectfully.

"It's Master Dao. Alas, it's a pity that he's not a beautiful young man." Pirates Quanzi clicked his tongue with regret. Then he pointed to the ground and said, "Sit down, what do you want from Master Dao? Master Dao doesn't remember that he owes you any love or money."

Shi Xuan didn't mind it, he sat cross-legged on the ground and said directly: "Does the Taoist still remember the Fire Spirit Pearl?"

"Hey, are you that girl's concubine? That's not right. Judging from his age, he could be her son. Well, Master Dao walks and sits upright. He does owe her a chance. Just tell her what you want." With hazy sleepy eyes.

Shi Xuan didn't want to just take advantage of Chu Yuyan's opportunity: "This junior is determined to visit the Taoist sect. I heard Mrs. Yuyan mentioned that there is a Taoist sect here, so I didn't come here to ask for this opportunity for her."

"Exalted Master, the Taoist Master is not very good." Pirates Quanzi said a joke that was not funny, and then complained in a low voice: "That old fool, Senior Brother, has sent the Taoist Master to this place where there is no shit and a lot of trouble. Where is the matter?" After complaining, he continued: "Actually, you don't have to look around. As long as you break through to the Qi Entrainment stage, you will naturally understand where the Taoist door is."

"What are you talking about?" Shi Xuan felt a little excited when he saw that Dian Quanzi really knew something.

Duanquanzi stretched and moved his neck before replying lazily: "That's not all. At the end of ancient times, several golden immortals in this big world led their disciples in a great battle and fell. Two of them were killed, and the remaining one finally took that step, and then left here to create a big world to prove his own way. But this big world is miserable. How powerful is the Golden Immortal War, tsk tsk, Taoist. It’s unimaginable now, but at least it destroyed the most prosperous world of immortality in ancient times. I don’t know how many immortals who were above the soul escaped, and they all fell. I said, you kid didn’t even give Master Dao a cup of tea. I was very thirsty in ancient times.”

Shi Xuan was sweating slightly and hurriedly went out to look for hot water and tea leaves, but Huilongguan was covered with dust everywhere and there was nothing. Shi Xuan couldn't find it even if he looked for a Taoist boy, so he had to fetch water from the well himself and boil a pot of hot water in the kitchen. He returned to the quiet room with boiled water.

Dioquanzi didn't take it too seriously, drank half of the water, and continued: "Fortunately, the Tongtian Lingbao Shenxiao Palace left by Taoist Yu Yu from ancient times suppressed the energy of the riot, and also left behind a tenth of the size. The big world is still intact, but the ancient Golden Immortal battlefield and the destroyed Immortal Realm are full of yellow sand, storms, space cracks, etc. The Shenxiao Palace is isolated to prevent expansion while sleeping to restore strength. . This is the land of Middle Earth.”

"But what does this have to do with the Qi Entrainment Period?" Shi Xuan asked doubtfully.

Duanquanzi curled his lips, as if he felt uncomfortable sitting, moved the futon back, and then leaned half against the wall: "This big world has been so severely destroyed. The natural vitality has passed away, and all kinds of elixirs and materials have also been destroyed." There are not many left. The remaining cultivators live within their means and no longer have the grandeur of the cultivation world in ancient times. Especially in this Middle-earth, there are basically no major sects, because firstly, it is close to the Western Wilderness, which is the ancient world of immortality. The vitality is the rarest, and secondly, the Shenxiao Palace has regained its strength here, and the remaining scarce vitality has been occupied by it. "

"So?" Shi Xuan seemed to understand a little bit.

"So as long as someone breaks through the Qi-Entraining Stage and can attract the vitality of heaven and earth, Shenxiao Palace will move them out of the Middle-earth. However, if someone can break through to the Qi-Entraining Stage in such a poor Middle-earth, it is really a rare good talent and beautiful jade. , if he is not too old and his body and soul are not exhausted, all the major sects are vying for it, so he discussed it with Shenxiao Palace. The place to be moved is fixed, and there are people from all major sects there. Guard." Duanquanzi drank the rest of the water in one gulp and narrowed his eyes in comfort.

"So that's it. I said that so many masters who have broken through to the qi-entraining stage have disappeared." Shi Xuan suddenly realized, and then asked: "Then this vitality cannot be restored?"

"If there is still the Golden Immortal Dao Ancestor, he can adjust his vitality and restore his old outlook in more than a hundred years at most. Unfortunately, since then, there has never been a Golden Immortal Dao Ancestor in this big world. If it weren't for Shen Xiao, who is at the peak of the Tongtian Lingbao, Palace, there are many big worlds that have already occupied this place." Pirates Quanzi yawned, and then continued: "However, the cultivation world outside the Western Wilderness and the Middle Earth can be considered to be able to recover after hundreds of thousands of years. See. The hundreds of thousands of miles outside Xihuang have almost stabilized, and at least a few market towns and cities have been built with formation protection. "

"Are there other big worlds?" Shi Xuan was curious.

Duanquanzi seemed to have thought of something and sighed a little: "The worlds in the heavens and the worlds are no joke. There are billions of worlds with practitioners. Look at the stars. Those moving ones are our world. The stationary stars attached to the world are the projections of the nearby world, such as the Big Dipper, which is actually the projection of the Big Dipper world. "

"Okay, do you really want to go to the spiritual world?" Duanquanzi withdrew his eyes, changed his wretched and lazy look, and asked with a serious expression.

"Yes, the juniors need guidance and exchanges with others. If they stay in Middle-earth, it will take who knows how many years to break through to the qi-entraining stage." Shi Xuan originally wanted to ask why the projections of the twenty-seven big worlds are particularly bright. Yes, now I can only calm down and answer solemnly.

Duanquanzi smiled: "It's a pity that you are not a beautiful young man, otherwise the Taoist master would have accepted you as his disciple."

Then he immediately changed his face and asked solemnly: "Have you thought about it? With your cultivation, in this land of Middle-earth, you can get the wind and the rain, and you can have both glory and wealth. Enjoy the envy and reverence of others. Maybe one day there will be a beautiful girl lying on the ground, crying and begging you to accept her as your disciple, and even the people around you will respectfully say "immortal, immortal." "You are superior to others. Judging from your expression, you must be enjoying it, right?"

Shi Xuan remembered that he had been looked at with admiration and awe by others before, so he could only answer honestly: "Yes."

Duanquanzi continued to make a face: "Do you know that in the world of cultivation, there are countless people who have better cultivation than you? Moreover, in the world of cultivation, due to the strict recruitment of disciples and the scarcity of resources, many families have been formed, so There will be people who are better than you in talent and cultivation speed, there will be people who are not as good as you in everything but can enjoy many resources, so their cultivation will leave you far away, there will be people who are useless but have a strong backing and therefore look down on you, you are in the world of cultivation , just a little pawn! Just a low-level disciple who is looked down upon by most people! You may die in some inexplicable battle."

After taking a breath, Duanquanzi finally asked solemnly but calmly: "Even so, do you still want to go to the practice world?"

————Surprise, why are there so many books missing from the one in front of me?
