This is an ancient town that is not marked on maps and cannot be seen in aerial photography. It does not exist on official survey maps. But it actually exists in this world. Those row upon row of buildings, hidden under the towering old forests, hidden in the hinterland of the military restricted area on the roof of the world, seem like an isolated kingdom in a fairy tale, or like a heavenly palace where gods live high above.
There are no real residents in Xining Ancient Town. The people living in the town are ascetics who yearned for Taoism and worked tirelessly to come here. Some of them were once prominent high-ranking officials, some were once wealthy businessmen, and some were industry leaders, legal elites, and medical doctors. But here, they are nothing, just a group of people, Sunrise Work and rest at sunset, exploring the meaning of life's journey in the quiet night.
Ji Xuefei said that they were not considered to be Taoist people yet, but they could still have the opportunity to listen to the master’s lectures on Zen. Many of these people lived long lives. It is said that some of them had been here for many years. They had practiced hard here. The time is even earlier than when the master started.
Li Muye smiled and asked: "Are there really gods living in the thirty-third floor of the underground palace?"
Ji Xuefei said: "There are many powerful people, some of them can even rival Master, but there is no one more powerful than Bai Wuxia." He added: "Of course gods do not exist, no matter how strong they are, they are just some of the leaders in the evolutionary chain. Stranger."
There are people outside the world, and there is heaven outside the world.
Regarding the topic of strength, Li Muye asked Xuanchen for advice last night. The explanation he gave was that in terms of realm, Bai Wuxia was already one step ahead of everyone he knew, and he, the best in the world, was not absolutely sure to claim to be the best even within a radius of three hundred miles.
Li Muye asked him who he thought was the most powerful person in the world.
It is difficult to seek the Tao, but it is even harder to enter the Tao. According to Lao Xuanchen, Bai Wuxia is the only person in the world who has attained the Samadhi of Taoism. Below the realm of Taoism is Taiding, which is divided into three stages. Xuanchen claims to be roughly equivalent to the peak level of Taiding. Li Zhonghua is probably at the middle level, but his physical instincts are too strong to make up for the gap in spiritual level, so in terms of strength, he is almost on par with Xuan Chen.
Realm is a very abstract concept, and it is difficult to quantify it specifically. If we insist on finding a way to define high and low, it means that people with high realms can see and hear farther and clearer. For example, Bai Wuxia can hold the Cold Poison Pearl with his hand, but Xuanchen asks himself that he can't do it because Bai Wuxia His perception is sharper than his, and his control level is more precise than his, so he dares to use this top-notch genius treasure as a weapon.
The level of combat power is related to the level of realm, but it is not an absolute relationship. Bai Wuxia's physical talent was not very high, but that was before the Dao fetus returned to its old age and rejuvenated. The body that the current Flawless Witch has regrown already possesses first-rate talent. Not only can she hear and see faster and more accurately, but she can also attack her opponents faster and more accurately. She has some extremely powerful treasures that can easily kill people. Others cannot use them, but she can. This is her advantage.
Xuan Chen believes that so-called combat power is much more complicated than strength. Because there are many factors that affect the outcome of a battle, a weapon may be able to level the gap in realm, and a little fighting wisdom may help the weak defeat the strong.
If Bai Wuxia didn't have those murderous weapons, and only in terms of combat power, Xuanchen believed that the person most qualified to sit on the top throne in the world should be Li Zhonghua. This legendary man who traveled to the far eastern lands did not have supreme spiritual cultivation, but he had physical functions comparable to those of animals. The explosion-like power, the shadow-like movement method, and the powerful and frightening recovery ability are all things Bai Wuxia cannot compete with head-on. Even Xuan Chen, as the martial arts master with the most experience in fighting in the world, cannot rely on experience to fill the gap in physical instincts.
Of course, this kind of thing does not happen. Bai Wuxia will not voluntarily give up those powerful weapons, and it is impossible for others to approach her and reach a dangerous distance without her knowing. Therefore, after comprehensive comparison, she is still the strongest person in Xuan Chen's heart.
There is no perfect strong person in this world, everyone has weaknesses. Xuan Chen said that Bai Wuxia is a very extreme person, with extreme conceitedness, extreme genius, extreme beauty, extreme cruelty, extreme desire for power, and extreme love. If she loses control one day, the only flaw will be Brother Xiaoye.
Old Xuanchen also had high hopes for Ji Xuefei. The little girl's talent and talent were not inferior to Bai Wuxia's. She could easily reach the level of connecting the two bridges of heaven and earth with the secret Chinese Zhu Youshu of Xuanmen. In order to train her, Xuanchen trained her in her I spent a lot of money on it. But so far, the expected results have not been achieved. Ji Xuefei failed to reach the heights Bai Wuxia had reached when she was her age. The only difference is that her temperament is too unrestrained and her willpower is not strong enough, so she is unable to push out her potential.
She is like a deeply accumulated but locked treasure house that needs a matching key to open the lock before it can be used.
"What a poor child, he has lived in such a boring place for so many years." Li Muye looked at her, brought his thoughts back to the conversation from last night, and said: "In your childhood memory, the most fun thing you have ever played is What’s an interesting game?”
Ji Xuefei asked: "Is climbing a tree and digging out a bird's nest considered a game?"
"Of course it counts, but it doesn't seem to be very good." Li Muye said: "The games I played when I was young were much more interesting than yours. At that time, my favorite games with Zhang Na were playing house, peek-a-boo, and bumping into each other. I also played kidnapping, rolling hoops, drilling into caves, jumping goats, and jumping rubber bands. In short, there were too many fun games at that time. Anyway, for me, as long as I was with her, everything was interesting."
"I really envy Sister Nana." Ji Xuefei said: "It must be a very happy thing to play with you." She sighed softly and said faintly: "Old Li, have you ever been unable to shed tears in your life? Have you gone to Sister Nana's river?"
"Why do you say that?"
"I know you came here just for her. Master just told me that the people from Xunlongmen promised a lot of things to you." Ji Xuefei said: "It is very difficult to come to Xuanmen to find people. If it weren't for Na Sister Na, you have such a naughty personality that you will never accept this job, but as long as it is for her, you will accept it without hesitation no matter how difficult it is. If someone treats me like this, maybe I will change my view of men. Bar."
Li Muye did not deny it, but asked: "Do you think she is worthy of me treating her like this?"
"Of course she deserves it." Ji Xuefei said: "What I don't understand is that since you are so infatuated with her, why do you still show mercy everywhere in the world?"
"Because I can control my feelings for her, but I can't control other people's." Li Muye said: "This is a world that needs mutual warmth. Life is short, and people who live only a hundred years live. I hope that I can Leave some warm memories to the women who have feelings for me."
Ji Xuefei said: "Old Li, you have found a beautiful excuse for your lustful behavior."
Li Muye chuckled and asked, "Then what kind of person do you want me to be?"
Ji Xuefei's face was slightly red, and he lowered his head and said, "I don't know."
Li Muye looked at her. At this moment, the little girl's body was full of tenderness and femininity. On the top of the jade mountain, under the moonlight of the Yaotai, the goddess's passion was nothing more than that.
"Further ahead is the livestock shed. Let's choose two donkeys to ride there." Ji Xuefei was too shy to raise her head under Li Muye's gaze and said timidly. I have annoyed Brother Xiaoye, this old bastard, countless times in my heart, but I can't help but feel a hint of joy and sweetness.
The two of them walked side by side to the barn. Li Muye quietly grabbed Ji Xuefei's little hand, and the little girl only struggled a little and obeyed.
In the middle of the night, when no one is whispering, silence is better than sound.
The stable was right in front of her, Ji Xuefei was still blushing and lowering her head. This unruly girl seemed to be possessed by a demon, staring straight at her toes as she just walked forward with her head down.
"Little girl, we're here, where do you want to go?" Li Muye stopped and looked at the donkeys kept in the stable.
Kunlun Mountain is home to outstanding people, and the ancient town of Xining is a Feng Shui paradise. Even the donkeys raised are different from those elsewhere.
They are not big in stature, but they are full of energy. They have white lips, black backs, big silver hoof bowls, and the ventilated hair on their tails is neat and tidy. Li Muye's current eyesight is extraordinary. One look at the postures of these donkeys and he knows that they are very spiritual animals.
Ji Xuefei seemed to have found something to say, and introduced excitedly: "There are four donkeys here, and each one is probably older than me. When I was young, if I had anything on my mind that I couldn't tell my grandfather, I would come and tell them. They are a family. He added: Grandpa is Master. When I was a child, I called him Grandpa, and later I changed my name to Master. Although he treats me well, there are some things that I cannot say to him. "
Li Muye looked at the four donkeys carefully and said: "These are not ordinary donkeys, but worms among donkeys. There is a unified name in the Chongdi Master sect called Te'er. The ones you raise have individual names. It’s called Ziwu Chai Feng Te’er, which means you can run against the wind within twenty-four hours.”
Ji Xuefei said: "Old Li, you are so knowledgeable. My master may not even know these things."
Li Muye said: "Skills have specializations, and this is what the Japanese insect masters do."
Ji Xuefei said: "Then let me test you again. Do you know which of them is the father, which is the mother, and which is the child?"
Li Muye smiled evilly and said, "It's simple. I can tell by touching their heads."
Ji Xuefei didn't know what was going on and watched as Li Muye walked over and touched the head of one of the donkeys, which had the largest head and was full of fear. I saw that Boss Donkey, who usually only accepted Xuan Chen's leadership and was not allowed to get close to anyone, actually let out a scream. When Li Muye came close, he immediately turned around restlessly after being touched on the head. He circled around and ran behind a female donkey. He raised his front hooves and lay down on the back of the female donkey. The shameful thing burrowed into the female donkey's body.
Li Muye chuckled and said, "This is the donkey father, the one he rides on is the donkey mother, and the other two are donkey children."
The old jackass was soon satisfied, and rolled his white lips and let out a happy cry. Ji Xuefei covered his eyes with his hands, but secretly left a gap to watch. When the old jackass was done, he put down his hands, his face flushed, and He turned his face away and pretended to be angry: "Old Li, you are so shameless!"
Li Muye suddenly grabbed her shoulders, pulled her body over, and asked, "Do you like me shamelessly or shamelessly?"
"I don't like shameless old bastards!"
"Oh, I understand, that's the old bastard who likes to show off his face." Li Muye suddenly lowered his head and kissed her gently on the forehead, saying: "It is not easy to refine one's heart in the world of mortals. If you want to live up to Senior Xuanchen's expectations, At such a high level, you will have to pass this level sooner or later."
"Old Li, I think we can slow down a bit." Ji Xuefei lowered her head and whispered softly: "If I didn't love you enough, I wouldn't be able to feel great joy and sorrow because of you. The so-called love and calamity sharpens the mind is just nonsense." Quietly. He broke out of Li Muye's arms and said: "I know you did this to me to fulfill your promise to Master. You are a veteran in this field. It's not that I don't like it, but you still need to get used to it. When I was young, I have seen some very bad things about men and I can never completely forget them, so you have to give me time to adapt. I believe that if I really love someone enough, I will be able to overcome this fear."
She lowered her head, her shoulders trembled slightly, bit her lip, mustered up the courage to look into Li Muye's eyes, and said, "Old Li, give me some more time, okay?"
Li Muye smiled gently: "Silly girl, I'm not as impatient as you think." Then he said, "Didn't you say you wanted to take me to visit the underground palace on the 33rd floor?"
The two of them each chose a Ziwu Chai Feng Special, and Ji Xuefei led the way, passing through a cave from behind the old forest and entering the Death Valley.
Half an hour later, he led Li Muye to a cliff, raised his hand and pointed at the smooth cliff, and said: "The entrance to Kunlun Temple is here. Before entering, I need to help you understand the rules. This is the secret realm of Xuanmen. , the first eighteen floors are used to detain those who commit heinous crimes. Among the fifteen floors after that, there is a medicine garden occupying three floors, one floor of ascetic cave, one floor of Zen forest, two floors of Taoist palace, and two floors of Haoran Zhengqi. Hall, one floor is for scientific research, and there are two floors called mountains and seas that I am not allowed to take you to."
Li Muye asked: "Why do we need eighteen levels to imprison people? Are there really so many extremely evil people?"
Ji Xuefei said: "This underground palace was built in cooperation with the military. There are only three floors where evildoers are actually detained. The fifteen floors above all belong to a certain department of the state. Even I don't know how many people are detained inside. Anyway, the security is very tight. ." After saying that, he turned to face the cliff, walked over and activated the hidden mechanism... (End of this chapter)
