Volume 2: Yun Ji Cang Hai Chapter 266: Qiyun City
On the deck, the disciples were busy, adjusting the course of the ship and sailing towards a piece of land that appeared ahead.
The long exposure to wind and sun and the bumps on the sea have made the boating disciples' skin darker and more calm and capable. Even the inner disciples of the Tianlong Sect are used to seeing wind and waves. After experiencing life and death, the aura of each of them is now very different from the past!
"Second senior brother, it's been almost a year since we left Jiulong Mountain. The Great Xia Kingdom should have arrived, right?" The one who spoke was Yu Zixian. He, his second senior brother Jitang, Luo Rong and others saw that the ship was about to dock. , and gathered on the deck.
Ji Tang's skin color has also become much darker, but his strong body is as motionless as a pine tree, his eyes are still bright and clear, and the aura around him is becoming more and more calm. Even though he is at sea, it still reminds people of the famous second senior brother from Jiulong Mountain.
Ji Tang hugged his arms, stared ahead, and said in a loud voice: "Even if it's not Daxia yet, I think it's not far away!"
Luo Rong on the side was not tanned, but there was an extra layer of frost on his fair face. He smiled and said: "Even after arriving in Daxia, I still have to come back. This trip is really tiring! I don't want to come out anymore, it's better to stay in Jiulong Mountain!"
Ji Tang shook his head and said with emotion: "With this trip, I will have no regrets in my life!"
Luo Rong naturally knew what the second senior brother meant and smiled disapprovingly.
"Second Senior Brother is right. This experience has given me a lot of experience, and I will have something to brag about to my children and grandchildren in the future, haha!" Yu Zixian quite agreed with Jitang's words, and he laughed heartily. .
"Before I came out, I thought that one day my martial arts skills would be comparable to those of my master, and I would have no regrets! But after I came out, I realized that my vision was short-sighted!" Ji Tang looked up into the distance with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Luo Rong looked at the expression of his second senior brother and asked thoughtfully: "Not everyone can cultivate the immortal way. Wouldn't it be great to have the leader's martial arts that are unparalleled in the world?"
"Second senior brother, what are you thinking about?" Yu Zixian asked curiously, thinking there was something in Jitang's words.
There was a trace of fascination in Ji Tang's eyes, and he said: "What is the pinnacle of martial arts? Could it be that the two junior brothers did not see the breakthrough of Taoist Master Zhen Yuanzi at the time of his life and death? I originally thought that for us to reach the peak of martial arts is to open up the innate meridians, Become a martial arts master admired by the world! And Taoist Master Zhen Yuanzi is truly a genius. He can break through life and death, break through the shackles of nature, and reach another level that no one can reach. He should be a role model for our generation! I will also tell you and me how to do it in the future!”
"I have also heard Master say that using martial arts to enter Taoism has existed in ancient and modern times. Second Senior Brother is saying that you and I can also reach that level?" Yu Zixian said with a look of surprise on his face.
Looking ahead, puffing up his chest, Ji Tang said in a deep voice: "It depends on human effort!"
Jitang's words suddenly made Yu Zixian and Luo Rong feel something inexplicable. In front of them, an unprecedented and unfamiliar road seemed to appear!
"It all depends on the human effort! Well said!"
As soon as Lin came down from the boat building, he slowed down when he heard a few people talking. Ji Tang deserves to be the second senior brother of Jiulong Mountain, and the insight he just said is truly extraordinary.
"Haha! Lin...Junior Brother Lin, it's rare for a master like you to show your true face! Do you mind if I call you Junior Brother?" Yu Zixian thought that he was familiar with Lin Yi, and because of his bold and unrestrained temperament, he started to fight call. Then thinking of the other party's current identity, he laughed again.
Jitang and Luo Rong cupped their hands when they saw Lin Yi coming over. After hearing Yu Zixian's words, they looked a little reserved!
Seeing the expressions of the three people in his eyes, Lin Yi smiled casually and said: "Senior Brother Yu only calls me junior brother when he is out of sight. Why not?"
In the eyes of everyone, Lin Yi has never been domineering from beginning to end, and naturally he has never done anything to bully the weak. The reason why many people stay away from him is because of his superior status.
Yu Zixian's smile relaxed and he said, "That's good! I feel so honored to have had an immortal junior brother like you!"
Ji Tang hesitated for a moment, staring at Lin Yi with burning eyes. After hesitating for a moment, he still opened his mouth and asked, "I have something unclear. I wonder if Junior Brother Lin can give me some answers!"
Lin Yiyi nodded. Although he didn't know what the other party wanted to ask, he knew that Jitang was an upright person and would not talk nonsense.
"Junior brother Lin, did you save those Jianghu people in Xia County?" Ji Tang did not express any blame in his words, but what happened that night still made him feel brooding.
Now that the matter has come to this, Lin Yi has nothing to hide. He said seriously: "The Tianlong Sect has killed a lot of people overtly and covertly along the way, so why add more killings! Besides, that person is indeed someone I met in Jiulong Mountain. I will not tolerate indiscriminate killing like you."
Ji Tang also heard what Lin was referring to. The actions of the Tianlong Sect along the way had long been known to the other party, so he let go of his worries, shook his head and said with a smile: "I would also like to thank Junior Brother Lin for being merciful!"
"However, there is one more thing I would like to ask Junior Brother! The Taoist Master's breakthrough before his death is obvious to all, and we are very confused about this matter. I wonder if Junior Brother Lin can tell us, what is the realm after innateness? What is it?" After Ji Tang said these words, he looked at Lin Yi expectantly. Luo Rong and Yu Zixian also cheered up and showed eager expressions.
Everyone has their own obsessions, and Ji Tang and others naturally have them too. Zhen Yuanzi has been cultivating Taoism all his life and has his own understanding of heaven and earth, which is not something ordinary people can speculate on. Even Lin Yi himself may not have that kind of enlightenment.
Lin Yi thought for a while, and said: "As far as I know, people are born with ancestral orifices, which can sense the vitality of heaven and earth. By opening the meridians and opening the ancestral orifices, they can connect to the vitality of heaven and earth and make themselves stronger. And these are just to restore people's innate instincts. After breaking through the innate realm, you can use the power of heaven and earth for your own use, just like the cultivators of the immortal way, which can be regarded as a rebirth!"
"Then Junior Brother Lin also believes in martial arts to enter the Tao?" Ji Tang asked anxiously with shining eyes.
Originally, I didn't know about this, but Zhenyuanzi was an extraordinary person who actually did this. But Lin Yi also knew that this was more difficult than cultivating the immortal way with innate spiritual roots. He looked at Ji Tang and smiled: "Everything depends on human effort!"
Ji Tang was startled, and then laughed. The haze that had been pent up in his heart for a long time dissipated with the laughter, and the heroic second senior brother regained his former style.
Since seeing the magical powers and methods of the immortals, the disciples on the ship have fallen into the kind of frustration and depression. What's the use of practicing martial arts? No matter how high the martial arts is, it is not as good as flying swords! The belief of becoming a martial arts master since childhood has gradually wavered in the escapes, like a ship that has lost its way and is about to get lost in the boundless ocean.
The conversation between Ji Tang and Lin Yi made the hearts of these disciples, like sparks under the ashes, become hot again.
...
When the Tianlong School's ship docked again, at a glance, the crowded large and small ships and the noisy docks made people feel that the end of this journey had arrived!
The dock was crowded with people, noisy voices came and went, and seabirds were chirping from time to time, circling overhead.
These people who have been drifting on the sea for a long time walked on the plank road of the dock and looked around, dizzying. And this is not the other side of this trip, but a dock called Qiyun Mountain in Northern Qi.
Beiqi should be an island country. The place where this pier is located is called Qiyun Mountain. Not far from the pier is a stone city called Qiyun City.
Qiyun City is built by the mountains and the sea. The city walls made of dark blue stones are thick and steep, and have extraordinary momentum. Passing through the crowded streets and passing through the city gate, looking up, under the city wall of more than ten feet high, even the city gate is three feet high. The street under your feet is also paved with big stones, and there are deep ruts on it, uneven, and I don’t know how many years it has gone through.
Passing through the crowds of people and walking into the city, the houses and shops are also built on the mountain, like layers of attics. Walking on the street, looking up, on the attics on both sides, the bedding and clothes and wine flags and tea flags are hung up and down, fluttering, colorful, and quite spectacular! From time to time, a figure will appear from the window of the attic, attracting the curious pedestrians below to stop and look.
The pedestrians on the street were dressed differently, and the Tianlong Sect was mixed in among them, not conspicuous. Not many people got off the boat, and the Canghai Gang and most of the Tianlong Sect disciples did not get off the boat, still fearing that there would be accidents with too many people. Lin Yi followed the people who entered the city and found an inn to stay. Afterwards, Meng Shan took Jiao Tangzhu and his people out to buy, while the rest of the people washed and rested in the inn, and agreed to leave here early the next morning.
After lunch, Lin Yi had nothing to do, so he said hello to Elder Jiang and took Yuan Qing and Yuan Feng out for a walk. If you don't look around when you arrive at a strange place, it's a waste of time. Who knew that when he walked to the door of the inn, he saw Mu Qing'er and her sister greeted him with a smile.
It turned out that Meng Shan had explained that disciples were not allowed to go out without reason, but Lin Yi was not an exception. In the past two months, Mu Qing'er has been practicing in silence, and she must have been bored, so the two sisters waited for Lin Yi and wanted to go together.
Lin Yi scratched his head and looked around. Doesn't the prince like to go shopping with women? Seeing the two women's excited faces, he blurted out: "Where is Master Hong?"
Mu Qing'er walked a few steps to the street, smiled and stretched out her finger to poke upwards, and said: "He's up there!"
Lin Yi followed him out puzzledly, and looked up. He saw Hong An holding a cup and looking out from the railing on the attic of the inn facing the street. The figures of Ji Tang and others were also seen in the attic next to him.
Hong An must have been scared by being kidnapped last time, and he has learned his lesson this time, and the inner disciples of the Tianlong Sect have also become much more careful.
Blinking her eyelids, Mu Qing'er tilted her head and looked at Lin Yi, thinking to herself, I didn't lie to you!
"Then just take a walk!" Lin Yi didn't look at her, waved his hand and said something, and then walked forward alone.
Mu Qing'er laughed, took the arm of her senior sister Xu Zixuan and followed. Yuan Qing and Yuan Feng were busy accompanying them, and the group was talking and laughing.
Qiyun City covers a large area, and the streets in the city are connected in all directions. There is a constant flow of people, and it is very lively! And this is just a resting place for this trip. According to the innkeeper, Daxia is still two or three months away from here, which makes the Tianlong Sect quite excited.
It doesn't matter how long the journey is, what's scary is that I don't know where the end of this trip is!
When Lin Yi walked leisurely with his hands behind his back, his spiritual sense swept around the city and then retracted it. There are cultivators in the city, and there are more than one. Although their cultivation is not high, it still makes him cautious. Cultivators are extremely sensitive to spiritual sense. If you go to spy on others and meet a high-cultivation one, you will be in trouble.
It takes more than a year to reach Daxia, and then return after resting and recuperating. It takes two or three years for Tianlong Sect disciples to travel back and forth!
Lin Yi was lost in thought, and helplessly stopped again, standing next to a street stall in boredom.
