Shen Lian neither respected nor sighed for this. He understood but did not recognize Guan Longzi, but this was his own choice after all.
In terms of realm, Guan Longzi should be above the Taoist Earth Immortal and touch ~ the Celestial Immortal Realm. If he wants to live for thousands more years, it is definitely not impossible. In fact, his cultivation has reached the level of the Earth Immortal. It is difficult to die naturally. This has nothing to do with the strength of the power, but that they have broken through the limitations of the world. Even the book of life and death can only use some special means to promote the death of earth immortals.
Because Shen Lian had never come into contact with the Earth Immortals in the Netherworld, he only had a rough understanding of it from Guan Longzi, and guessed that it might be related to the Three Great Tribulations of the Earth Immortals.
The laws of the Earth Star Dao where Qingxuan Dao Sect is located are significantly different from those of the Nether World. Although the Dao Tribulation is sad, it is definitely not as terrifying as the Nether World. Therefore, according to Guan Longzi, since the founding of Daxia, it has truly been possible to arrive from the Earth Immortal Realm. According to reliable evidence, the number of monks in the Celestial Immortal Realm and Bodhisattva Realm is no more than fifty, and there are no earthly immortals who have survived from the founding of Daxia to the present. This shows how difficult it is to achieve the Celestial Immortal Realm in the Netherworld.
In the past, those who have achieved the heavenly realm may have found some exits from the nether world and went to other worlds. There may also be three or five people who have been hiding in the nether world and have not emerged from the world for a long time. Just like on the edge of the Blood Sea, I heard that there is an eminent monk who has obtained the Dharma of Ksitigarbha and is the best among all living beings in the world. He does not retreat from his great intention and attains The state of Mahasattva can be compared to Taoist Taiyi.
It has always been said that it is easy to attain the Tao but difficult to keep it, but when they reach the stage of Mahasattva and Taiyi, they will not retreat from the Tao. They stick to their own Tao and are the best among all living beings in the world.
It's just that this eminent monk heard that he would often use the power of magic to transform the resentful spirits in the sea of blood. However, due to the resentment in the world, it would naturally flow into the sea of blood. Even with the boundless magic power of Ksitigarbha, the eminent monk could not clear the sea of blood. What you do can be said to be drawing water from a bamboo basket, but it will ultimately be in vain.
Shen Lian knew the story of this eminent monk and became more determined to go to the Sea of Blood of Shura in the future. Being able to see a living Mahasattva with his own eyes really moved his heart.
These thoughts were like lightning, leaving no trace in his mind. Shen Lian's move immediately stopped all changes in the game.
Shen Lian said leisurely: "Fellow Taoist, you lose."
Guan Longzi flicked the chessboard, and the chessboard was immediately scattered. This flick was like a flying fairy from the sky, without any warning, and it actually deceived Shen Lian's premonition. Even though Guan Longzi was not fast and Shen Lian could stop it, he did not take action. Sincerity The way is to know in advance, Guan Longzi's premonition was still before him.
On the other side, Lei Jing, who had been silent for many days, had already stood up a moment ago. Everything that happened between Shen Lian and Guan Longzi was in full view. Her haggard look could not conceal the trace of contentment deep in her eyes. She walked over, Yan Ran said: "Mr. Guan Longzi, I remember the chess game clearly. If you lose, don't cheat."
Guan Longzi smiled and said: "You master and disciples are uniting to bully me. Goodbye."
He started to leave, just like water, quite simply.
Shen Lian looked at this disciple with calm eyes. Her eyes were much deeper than before. Even an experienced Qi practitioner would feel ashamed when he saw her.
Shen Lian even saw an immeasurable trace of it, which was the aura originating from his bloodline. It was ancient, heavy, stalwart, and vast.
Lei Jing stood quietly in front of Shen Lian, and she naturally had the demeanor of a master like Yuan Ting Yue Zhi. This was due to the inheritance of bloodline, which naturally caused earth-shaking changes in her temperament.
She is no longer the squeamish noblewoman she used to be, but is Lei Jing, the blood descendant of the Hu clan and the Xia Hou clan.
Shen Lian sighed: "Even though I could predict many things, I still underestimated the unique blessings of your Xia clan's bloodline. What those Qi practitioners would have taken decades or hundreds of years to understand, you have gained in a short time." ”
Lei Jing gazed at the man in front of her quietly, her inner admiration not diminishing by half, and she was different from before.
She awakened, not from the power of her bloodline, but from the depths of her soul, which brought her huge spiritual power and the rules of the avenue.
If it weren't for Shen Lian's guidance, she might never have started the inheritance deep in her bloodline.
Bloodline not only provides strength to their Xia clan, but it is also a shackles. The key to unlocking the shackles is the awakening of the soul. Shen Lian taught her breathing and sculpting, which are the two most important steps in Taoism, practicing Qi and refining the spirit. When Qi arises, the blood will flow, and when the heart dies, the spirit will live. That kind of silent state has given her endless benefits in her life. thing.
Lei Jing said: "This is all because of you, sir."
Shen Lian said softly: "Would you like to take a nap?"
Lei Jing blinked her beautiful eyes, which seemed to be filled with starlight, and said, "No, I have never been as energetic as I am today in my entire life."
Shen Lian smiled and said, "Then it can be carved."
"good."
Lei Jing took out three wooden knives from the shelf next to her. She chose the weakest knife first. She carved it from bottom to top. Weapons forged from the hard Kunwu stone can cut jade as hard as clay, but when it touches the wooden knife, The blade is fragile.
Stone chips continued to peel off, eventually forming a pair of legs.
It was as if the Kunwu Stone already contained such a pair of perfect and powerful legs, and Lei Jing was just responsible for cutting off the outer layer with a wooden knife.
When Lei Jing carved out the lower half of her body, the wooden knife broke into two pieces.
And half of the statue's body is filled with a strange magic power, just like a demon god who stands tall and upright. The exposure of half of the body is enough to make people fearful.
The wooden knife was broken into two pieces. Lei Jing didn't even look at it. Although the wooden knife was broken, its magic power was injected into the pair of legs, enchanting the soul.
Lei Jing took out the second wooden knife and began to carve the upper body. This time it was much slower than before, but Lei Jing was still leisurely and contented. The stone chips fell, and finally a majestic body appeared. Although the head was missing, A monstrous momentum arose, as if a mortal was suddenly thrown under a cliff. When he raised his head and saw it, his mind was taken away by it.
The second wooden knife was still broken into two pieces. Lei Jing then used the third wooden knife. The sweat fell drop by drop and she had no time to wipe it off.
At this time, she concentrated on portraying her uncle's face.
She used the knife so fast that no shadow could be seen. Every time she used the force, it was just right. One point more or one point less would not work.
The whole appearance of King Xia was revealed like this. Lei Jing accepted the wooden sword, but it was not broken after all.
The statue of King Xia was missing a pair of eyes. Lei Jing looked at her masterpiece with satisfaction. If it had eyes, the statue would come alive.
But she also understood why her husband didn't let her carve the eyes, because no matter how she cut, the statue would no longer be perfect, and all the previous efforts would be in vain.
