The Great Elder heaved a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that Xiao Ting would raise some strange conditions, if she wanted to see the cultivation method of the Yiling Zhe, or other things, he would be hard to deal with.
Now that Xiao Ting said that, he felt relieved.
Tell her about the current situation of Xuanmen.
It turns out that in this time and space, Xuanmen is a great force that existed long, long ago, and is in charge of the succession of dynasties and the rise and fall of the world.
They have built mysterious temples everywhere, there are altars and artifacts everywhere, and there are people who walk outside. They are a very special race, so powerful that they cannot be described. Everything in this world is in their hands, and everything is under their control.
But just a thousand years ago, for some unknown reason, Xuanmen was in decline and was chased and killed by many people in the world. The imperial dynasty encircled and suppressed it. In addition, the current patriarch ordered that the entire clan needs to retreat from the world and practice, and never ask about the affairs of the world.
It has since disappeared from the world.
Some tribesmen did not respect the order of the patriarch at that time, and still walked outside, but they were quickly found by the world, and then exterminated.
In fact, many people survived. They had no choice but to practice forbidden techniques outside, and they were extremely powerful, but they also paid a corresponding price and did many things that endangered all beings, so they were called "spirit-changing people" by later generations.
No one knows where the name came from, or how ancient it has been.
Later, Yuanjiqian, an eminent monk who attained the Tao, once said that all things in the world are born and restrained by each other.
Some people listened to it, some let it go, and then I don't know what happened, the spirit-yielding man became a street rat again, and everyone shouted and beat him.
They hide from the world again, but they don't really hide from the world like the magicians, but walk in the outside world, but their identities are unknown.
But some ancient inheritances or families still know of their existence, and sometimes ask these people to do something.
And those real magicians, a hundred years ago, really walked out of the dusty land, walked outside, and were accepted again by people, especially the royal family, who also secretly supported them, hoping to do something for them.
It's like a cycle.
But all the royal families are afraid and don't allow them to grow.
As a result, things like Xinjian Xuanguan have never been implemented.
And for some reason, the magicians who walk outside have low spiritual power.
Xiao Ting asked him again, the current hierarchy of Xuanmen.
The Great Elder glanced at her and said, "If the old man is not mistaken, the girl's current level is probably at level six."
Xiao Ting blinked her eyes and asked, "Level six? Is it high or low?" She never knew it before, and there was a division of grades.
After all, in modern times, there are only her and the master in the entire Taoist sect.
According to the Great Elder, there are eight levels of spiritual practice.
The eighth level is the lowest, which is what people often say is the dark eye, clairvoyant eye and so on. They can only distinguish some strange things, but can't do anything.
Xiao Ting was speechless, and she was just a magician who was slightly stronger than Xiao Xin.
Seeing that her expression was very obvious, the Great Elder knew that she was just a little girl with no plans. She really just came down from the mountain and didn't understand the world, so she broke in by mistake.
So, he comforted: "Girl, don't be depressed, there are very few spiritual beings who can reach the fourth level in this world."
"how about you?"
"I'm old and not talented, and I've just reached the fifth level after practicing for more than a hundred years."
"So old man, you let me go just now." Xiao Ting was a little upset, rolled her eyes at him carelessly, and hummed.
"That's not true. It's just that although you and I are one level behind, you also have a sixth-level peak spiritual skill, which is almost the same as me. It's not surprising that we are tied."
The more the two talked, the more speculative they became. The others went from awe-inspiring to speechless to numb. They no longer knew how to explain the current situation.
They, they were fighting life and death just now, but now they are chatting with each other with smiles like two old friends.
No matter how it sounds, it sounds like a fairy tale.
Especially the boy who came with Xiao Ting wanted to go over and pat Xiao Ting on the head, asking what was in this girl's head
Right now, at the time of life and death, she actually talked about ghosts and gods with people here.
It's downright ridiculous.
But he can't leave, there is Yaya and this little fairy next to him who want him to protect him, and he didn't see those old men staring at them all. Although they are old, he can guarantee that the old man just now is very powerful, and he probably beat ten more.
So he could only stand aside next to the girl, so that they had no time to worry about them.
"It turns out that there are so many masters in this world." Xiao Ting was a little annoyed. She originally thought that she was unique here and was planning to help justice, but she didn't expect that there were many people who were better than her here. Fortunately, she didn't like to meddle in other people's business, otherwise it would be a disaster if she met other spirit-yielding people.
Because according to the old man, there are many more people and things that the spirit-yielding people travel outside than the spirit-spelling people, because most of the spirit-spelling people have been hidden for thousands of years, and they have no whereabouts at all, and no one knows their whereabouts.
But the spirit-yielding people have been walking outside, and they don't even know who belongs to them in the world.
Even if there is an organization, there are only a few people as companions. There is no such thing as a sect. Everyone practices independently, and the inheritance becomes more and more unscrupulous later.
And the reason why they don't form a group is also to survive, because their enemies are not only the royal family and the rivers and lakes, but also those who contain magic spirits.
In the eyes of the magicians, they are all aliens, aliens who are truly incompatible with the world and will endanger human beings.
Time goes by little by little.
Xiao Ting and the Great Elder continued to discuss each other, and shared a lot of thoughts and understandings. The more they talked, the more speculative they became. In the end, I don't know whether it was Xiao Ting's penetrating tongue that moved the Great Elder, or what
Anyway, the Great Elder finally agreed to let them go, and let Yaya go back with her.
When Xiao Ting heard this, her big eyes widened, she jumped down excitedly, ran to the elder and hugged him, but the elder was so frightened that he almost fainted.
He had a fight with this girl just now, but now he is as good as the father and daughter.
"I said girl, take it easy, this old man with old arms and legs is about to fall apart under your arms."
"Will you?" Xiao Ting let go of him, rolling her eyes strangely, "You old man, I think you still have a hundred years of life, what kind of old man are you?"
"Heh, I'm young, but my eyesight is not small." The first elder stepped back, more afraid of her sudden enthusiasm than her ability.
The ending and the process of this incident were beyond everyone's expectations. Until they walked out of the underground palace and appeared in the human world, seeing the scene of the setting sun and the sky full of colorful clouds reflecting the red sky, the young man was still dreamy and unreal.
It's too magical and dramatic, okay? It was obviously a fight to the death, but the two parties actually shook hands and made peace in the end. They almost called each other brothers and sisters and became friends.
Is there such a thing to play
Fortunately, the purpose of their trip was achieved, and Yaya was rescued.
At the same time, there is this, dreamlike girl.
I don't know what kind of person it is to cultivate a woman with such temperament.
When Xiao Ting came outside, she also felt relaxed.
The girl who came out with them said goodbye to them.
Xiao Ting was surprised, "By the way, where is your home, do you need me to take you?"
Miss Xiao Liu's heart of pity and sympathy for women rose again, and she was always more tolerant and considerate towards women.
Especially beautiful women.
"No, I know the way." The girl shook her head lightly, and walked away with the wind, very simply and indifferently, not at all the attitude that a normal person should have.
The young man was also staring at it from behind, there was no way, a child like him who grew up in the countryside had never seen such a fairy-like woman.
Xiao Ting slapped him on the head and said: "Let's go, what's there to see, he's gone far away."
"Aren't you watching too?" The boy muttered, and the two quickly put this matter behind them.
Xiao Ting put Yaya on the young man's back and said: "There is no carriage now, so I have to let you carry her first, let's go back."
This trip was worth it.
Xiao Ting didn't have the idea that the spirit-yielder and the spirit-speller must be mortal enemies. Besides, she is not from this time and space, nor does she belong to any family, so she will not be influenced by their ideas.
It was getting dark, and they chose to drive overnight, because it was not too far from Yaya's village.
When the stars were shining and the moon was in the sky, they had already arrived outside the village.
"Look, it looks like it's on fire over there."
Fortunately, it wasn't very far away, Xiao Ting and the young man took turns carrying Yaya on their backs, and soon arrived at the tree-lined path outside the village, far away, Xiao Ting suddenly saw thick smoke billowing ahead, as if something was burning.
"Too bad, it's in our village." After all, the young man was born and raised here, and he was very familiar with the direction. After speaking, he ran forward. At this moment, Yaya was on Xiao Ting's back, so she was a step behind.
"Hey, wait for me, what are you doing running so fast?"
It's just a fire, it must be someone's wheat pile that was set on fire.
After all, the folk customs here are simple, and she doesn't know what else will happen besides this kind of thing.
When Xiao Ting stepped out of the tree-lined path and came to the small bridge at the head of the village, she saw a shocking scene.
corpse
There is a dead body here.
It was the villagers she had met once.
They were all in disorder, they still held hammers and basins in their hands, obviously they all came back from the outside and were killed here.
But their expressions were very peaceful, as if they were just asleep.
In the dark night, everything seemed so quiet, there was no cry of killing, Xiao Ting walked forward quickly, the more she walked, the more her heart became colder, these people were all killed, and the time would not be too long, as if just before a breath.
She also walked over and came directly to Yaya's house, but there was movement inside.
