Chapter 115 The weak eat the strong, but it’s okay
“Yes.”
Xie Shen followed Li Xiu’s suggestion.
In order to rush for time, he used spiritual power to bless his body, and his speed suddenly accelerated.
In just an instant, he disappeared from the place without a trace.
With his virtualization ability that can ignore all obstacles, Xie Shen easily passed through the spiritual light formation and came all the way to the outside of the Mingyang Sect's library pavilion.
You can see:
There are two monks in the Qi training stage at the entrance. They are squinting their eyes at the moment and lying on two bamboo chairs, one on the left and one on the right.
It looks so leisurely and comfortable.
Xie Shen also doesn’t write ink.
He stretched out his hand and nodded at the two people.
Next second.
The two guards tilted their heads and fell into a coma.
Li Xiu, who witnessed the whole process through a portable camera, was busy and reminded him at the right time: "Be careful, beware of traps."
"Heh."
Xie Shen chuckled lightly and said confidently: "You don't need to remind me."
"Don't forget, I used to be in the world of cultivation."
"In this regard, I'm so experienced."
After saying that, he ignored the two guards who were unconscious on the bamboo chairs and walked directly into the library.
After all, Mingyang Sect is just a small sect.
Most of the contents stored in his library are notes recorded by predecessors, related to refining weapons, alchemy, and spiritual practice.
Most of its content is extremely crude.
——In Xie Shen’s view, these experience notes not only did not benefit him in any way, but might actually cause some misleading.
So he only glanced at it briefly before putting all the books back to their original places.
Although the experience notes in this library seemed a bit shoddy, the practice skills made Xie Shen's eyes shine.
Nothing else.
Just because the techniques in this world teach people how to absorb the black mist.
The exercises that Xie Shen practiced all taught people how to absorb spiritual energy.
The two can be said to be fundamentally different, so their reference value is extremely high.
Xie Shen picked out a few exercises that seemed pleasing to his eye and put them into his storage bag.
These exercises include: "Nine Revolutions of Reincarnation", "Cosmic Stars", "Mingyang Breathing Method", etc.
Since the names of the exercises were so weird, even Li Xiu couldn't help but complain: "Why do these exercises have such strange names?"
"It's normal. "Xie Shen explained the reason: "Most of those who can create their own cultivation techniques are monks in the foundation building and golden elixir stages, and there are even some Yuanying stage monks among them."
"And these. On the road of spiritual practice, most of the monks who can go far have extremely high spirits.”
“I feel that I will definitely become an immortal and an ancestor in the future.”
"So, when they create their own exercises, they will naturally think of some very powerful names."
"Can you understand that kind of mentality?"
said Here, Xie Shen finally added: "Of course, there are some monks who are accustomed to keeping a low profile."
"So occasionally there are some exercises with ordinary names."
"For example, the book "Ming Yang Tuna Method" I just picked up was probably written by a low-key monk."
In fact, in the world of cultivation.
The really important secrets of the sect are all carried by the leader or elder.
Most of the things that can be placed in the library for anyone to use are crappy products with the same content.
It is useless to take too much.
So Xie Shen stopped after taking only three or four books of exercises.
He used his virtualization ability to pass through the wall and leave the Sutra Pavilion. At the same time, he asked Li Xiu: "Where are you going now? Do you want to go directly to Xi Pingwen?"
"No rush." Li Xiu replied : "Excluding Xi Pingwen, there are only two people in Mingyang Sect who have reached the foundation building stage."
"So, Xi Pingwen's breakthrough to the foundation building stage this time is considered a big deal."
“Just now, the only two foundation-building monks in the sect, the head of the Mingyang Sect and an elder, have brought Xi Pingwen to the sect’s main hall.”
“Now. On the road.”
"I guess I have something to tell him."
"How about you follow me and have a look?"
"Okay." Relying on his golden elixir level cultivation, thank you After Shen Zai used a concealment method, he rushed straight towards the sect's main hall.
When Xie Shen arrived at the main hall of Mingyang Sect.
Only the head and elders of Mingyang Sect, as well as Xi Pingwen, were qualified to enter.
Walking room.
I heard Li Yenong, the head of Mingyang Sect, saying to Xi Pingwen beside him: "Junior brother, since you have become a foundation-building monk, it is time to tell you some of the secrets in the sect. Let’s talk.”
“Secret?” Xi Pingwen was stunned when he heard this.
——Having just broken through to the foundation building stage, he is obviously not quite used to everything now.
Includes status.
It also includes the attitude of the head and elders towards him.
So he has always been a little reserved and said very little along the way.
Compare with that.
The leader, Li Ye Nong, seems much more easy-going.
He emphasized from the side: "Counting you, our Mingyang Sect only has three foundation-building monks in total, and our strength is relatively weak."
"But there are advantages to having fewer people."
"At least we won't form cliques, engage in internal fighting, or intrigue."
"Is this the truth?"< br>
“The three of us are like grasshoppers on a boat, sharing life and death.”
“So there is no need to hide some things from you.”
Conversation room.
The leader, Li Yenong, led Xi Pingwen to a wall in the back hall of the sect's main hall. He tapped a brick on the wall with his hand.
Next second.
A secret passage sloping downwards appeared in front of everyone.
"This" Xi Pingwen looked shocked.
Unexpectedly, I saw the head Li Ye Nongyun said lightly: "No need to make a fuss, but any sect with a little bit of knowledge will have a secret room in the mountain gate."
"This is a bit embarrassing. It’s much easier to do things with light.”
As he said that, he took the lead and walked into the secret passage.
The sect elders and Xi Pingwen behind him also followed closely behind.
At the same time.
Not far away, Xie Shen, who had been hiding in the wall to observe with his virtualization ability, also hurriedly followed him into the ground.
He followed Xi Pingwen and the other three, and soon came to an underground secret room.
This secret room is divided into two parts:
On the left side, there are four simple cells separated by metal railings, in which a total of four mortals without any cultivation are imprisoned.
After seeing Li Yenong and the others, the four mortals all showed frightened expressions, as if they had seen a ghost or beast.
Look at the right side of the secret room.
In the very center, there is a very conspicuous bronze tripod.
You can also see many bottles and cans around the big tripod, as well as torture instruments such as iron whips, chains, and fire tongs.
Seeing this formation, Xi Pingwen immediately showed a vigilant expression, and inadvertently took two steps back.
"Ha" the leader, Li Yenong, saw it and hurriedly smiled and comforted him: "Junior brother, don't panic."
"The cages in this secret room, as well as iron whips, chains and other torture instruments are specially used for detention. And torture mortals."
"It won't be used against you."
"Relax"
Xi Pingwen just retreated out of surprise. reaction.
He knew in his heart that the leader and elders had no need to harm him, so he felt relieved a little.
I was curious at the moment: "So, what is this secret room used for?"
"Heh,"
Li Yenong chuckled and said: " Junior brother, you only know that absorbing black mist can improve your cultivation."
"But have you ever thought about where the black mist you absorb comes from?"
"Where does it come from?" Xi Pingwen frowned and said: "The world is already filled with a lot of black mist."
"It is inexhaustible and inexhaustible."
"Isn't it?"
"Of course not." Liye Nong replied: "All you know are Taoism and Buddhism's excuses to deceive monks and mortals in the Qi training period."< br>
“The facts are”
"Those black mist are emitted from the bodies of mortals and monks after being tortured."
In the wall of the secret room.
Xie Shen, who overheard this secret, was not disturbed. After all, he already knew this.
But Xi Pingwen is different.
He was surprised: "So the black mist we absorb in daily life is all produced from the cell in this secret room? It is produced by torturing mortals??"
"Not entirely." Leader Li Ye Nong replied: "I believe you can understand without me having to say more."
"As long as a mortal is alive, he will definitely experience the pain of birth, old age, illness and death."
< br>"Coupled with the Taoist sect and the Buddhist sect, they will deliberately squeeze mortals from time to time and try to make their lives more difficult and miserable."
"So the black mist naturally accumulates more and more."
“Especially in densely populated areas such as towns.”
"This is also the reason why most sects are built in places with many people rather than in deep mountains and old forests."
Hearing this, Xi Pingwen was a little confused.
He asked: "Since mortals can already produce a large amount of black mist in the process of birth, old age, illness and death."
"Then why do you build cells in secret rooms and imprison them? Where are these many mortals? "
"Because the more black mist, the better." Li Ye Nong said matter-of-factly: "As foundation-building monks, we need the black mist. Far more than the monks in the Qi training period.”
"So the little thin black mist generated by mortals' aging, sickness and death is no longer enough."
"So we have to do it ourselves to torture mortals."
"Only if you are ruthless enough, you can go further on the road of practice."
Li Yenong's tone contained some guidance.
He finally looked at Xi Pingwen and said: "In short, if you can't be ruthless, then there is no need to continue practicing in the future."
"Because if you don't torture mortals, you won't be able to improve your cultivation."
"Do you understand?"
In the secret room.
After learning the secret about the black mist, Xiping Wenju remained speechless for a long time.
Finally, he sighed and said, "I understand."
"Yeah"
Seeing his reaction, Li Yenong nodded with satisfaction.
He patted Xi Pingwen on the shoulder and said: "Sometimes the world is like this."
"If you can't be cruel and take the initiative to torture others, sooner or later it will turn into torture. "
"The law of the jungle is weak."
After hearing this, Xi Pingwen fell into silence again.
After a while.
He looked up at the bronze cauldron not far away and said curiously: "Since the cell is used to torture mortals."
"What about the cauldron?"
“What is that tripod used for?”
