We are engaged in scientific research in the ancient martial arts world

The old man took a few puffs and said slowly: "Baby, is this tobacco produced in the west specially for tribute to the country?" Li Yu was a little surprised when he heard the old man's words (unexpectedly, the old man actually knew about tobacco) Planting things, is there such a thing as tobacco in this world?) "Old sir, do you know this thing?" The old man tasted Double Happiness carefully, squinted his eyes and said: "This thing is exquisite and delicate, I have never tasted it in my life. . How can a country man like me have the opportunity to taste such finely crafted tobacco? We rough guys usually just taste some rough-leaf dry tobacco." "You can only taste such exquisite and small tobacco. Only the rich families in the capital have the opportunity to taste it." After hearing the old man's words, Li Yu suddenly knew something in his heart. (It turns out that there is tobacco here, but the tobacco-making process is probably controlled and monopolized by certain places or certain families, and these ordinary people can only use ordinary tobacco to make dry tobacco or water pipes.) The old man He took two more puffs and said, "If you can make a living by making this fine cigarette, you must have some power in your family. In this Cangfeng Continent, those who can make a living by this kind of thing must have some relationship with a big family." Li Yu said: " Old sir, are you kidding me? We specialize in buying some weird things at home. Occasionally, we will bring some designated things for some customers on the way to trade. Therefore, no matter how strange things are in our place, as long as the customers come out If we can afford the price, we usually find a way to find connections to get some for free. We are not a big family." (Li Yu also answered this very carefully. After all, this old man's martial arts is so powerful. If he really brags to the top, he is A doll belonging to a wealthy family might have been kidnapped.) The old man listened to Li Yu's description, thought for a moment, and nodded, "It turned out to be the rat dealer who was selling goods. I was mistaken. You rat rats are indeed You can dig up any kind of goods in the entire continent, hahahaha... After all, the black markets in major capital cities rely on the goods of you guys. Without the black market, many old guys in the world just can’t sit still. Look at you. You look down and out, did you get raped on the way to deliver the goods?" The old man looked at Li Yu with a smile. "Hey, I have no choice but to make a living by doing this. We are still young, and the elders in our family also asked us to go out and see the world. After all, we are already in our twenties, and we will slowly start to work for each other in the future. The family has done something good, but it's a pity that he died before leaving. This trip was in vain. Several elders in the family died on this trip. We brothers also ran for a long time under the cover of night to save our lives. ..." Wang Qingyang listened to Li Yu's words (he secretly gave Lao Li ten thumbs up! He is indeed a dog-headed military advisor. He made up nonsense one after another, which made me believe it). Li Yu himself did not feel any discomfort. , the face does not change. The old man felt a little emotional when he listened to Li Yu's words. Without martial arts, it is indeed quite dangerous to make a living selling goods across long distances. The old man usually goes to the black market to buy any rare materials or items he needs. As a man in the world, the black market has a wide variety of things and the prices are high. The one who gets it is the fairest to the people of Jianghu. There is no need to consider that like some dignitaries, you need a certain status to be able to afford certain items. What Jianghu people pay attention to is that whoever has a big fist and money can buy it, not that you are not a person of this level and do not deserve to consume these things. The old man looked at Li Yu: "What are your names?" My name is Li Yu and my name is Wang Qingyang. The old man nodded and said: "You are both people who have escaped from death, and you are destined to meet me. I will reward you two with a full meal, and you let me taste the fine smoke that only the nobles of the above country can taste. Pay attention to courtesy and reciprocity! You two are ignorant of martial arts and penniless, and you are living here. The land in the far west is thousands of miles away from here. I am afraid it will not be easy for you to return to your hometown..." At this moment, Li Yu and Wang Qingyang They all lowered their heads silently, looking frustrated. In fact, this is not the two of them playing the old man together. Because at this moment, both of them felt inexplicably sad. Because the two of them don't know that, let alone the so-called "Land of the Far West", it is extremely difficult to go there, not to mention their real hometown, Blue Star? Both of them knew very well how difficult it was to return to their hometown, and they might never be able to go back in this life. The old man looked at the lost and depressed look of these two people, and there was a trace of love and pity in his eyes. Although I met these two people not long ago, the old man noticed how sensible and well-behaved they were. What the old man saw in their eyes was sincerity, not to mention that they were just two children who were over twenty years old. , for him, considering his age, he is more than enough to be the great-grandfather of these two people. The average age of people on Blue Wind Continent is around 130 to 150 years old, if they are cultivators or warriors. It can even reach a life span of more than 120 years. If you are a cultivator or a master of martial arts, your lifespan will be even longer. After all, every time you break through a limit, your lifespan will increase because the shackles of the body are broken and your activity will be further improved. This year the old man [-] Seven years old, it is certainly more than enough to be the great-grandfather of these two people. However, Li Yu and Wang Qingyang did not know this information. If they knew this, they would be shocked.

The old man looked at the two people and sighed: "The fish is ready, let's eat first." The two responded softly "Yes" and then silently picked up the fish and ate it carefully.

After a while, the eight grilled fish stuck on the ground were wiped out by three people. For Li Yu and Wang Qingyang, they were only half full. After all, there was no seasoning on the fish, so just eating fish was not enough. There is no staple food, but given the current conditions, it would be really good to have something to eat. Neither of them dared to dislike anything.

After eating, the three of them lit a fire to keep warm. In this place, the temperature difference between morning and evening was huge. When the two met the old man in the evening, it still felt like spring, but now at night, it felt like early winter to them. But when I think about it, it seems normal. After all, this is the border of Hewu Country. Hewu Country is covered with ice and snow all year round. It's normal to have some icy wind here at night.

At this time, the two of them curled up and tried to get as close to the fire as possible. The old man reached out into the grass and grabbed a handful of dead wood and threw it into the fire to add firewood. What Wang Qingyang is thinking about at the moment is (Hey, others have traveled through time, and I have traveled through time. Others have systems and plug-ins. When they go online, they will be given ten consecutive draws, exercises, and elixirs. But the two of us crossed over and huddled by the river to eat. Sitting on the grilled fish sent by the kind-hearted grandpa, I was shivering and cold and could only warm myself by the fire here. I really want to be more depressed. Is this the punishment mechanism for team travel?) Li Yu looked at Fatty Wang sighing on the side, He also frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and asked the old man: "Old sir, can you tell me about the people in the world, as well as martial arts and so on? It's the first time for us brothers to come out, and we have everything. Without seeing it, it turned out like this... We have only seen the dangers of the world..."

"You guys are so unlucky. Generally speaking, when the rat dealers are walking around in the world, all kinds of gods will basically sell face. Even if they encounter some unreasonable ones, they will just keep half of the goods. That's it. Let's go. The stupid young man you met this time who came from nowhere, kills people and steals goods. He really doesn't follow the ethics of the world. Don't worry, this group of people will not live long. They even dare to rob Lord Shu's goods. In the future, there will be no way for them in the world." "But recently I heard that the Hewu Kingdom is about to make a move, and our Roujian Kingdom may have a war with the Hewu Kingdom. These bandits may also be spies of the Hewu Kingdom. , killing people and stealing goods, and putting the blame on the people of our Roujian country." "The national war is coming, the border may be blocked, and there is little hope for you two to return to the far west in a short time." The old man looked at Li Yu and shook his head. "You elders at home should have some people who play martial arts to some extent, but judging from your experience, I guess the level of the people in the family is not much higher. Anyway, I will just say a few words today to let you two Open your eyes, baby. Hee hee..." After hearing this, even Wang Qingyang next to him suddenly woke up from the depression of not getting the plug-in during time travel. At this time, both of their eyes shone, their ears pricked up, and they listened carefully. The old man coughed and glanced at Li Yu. Li Yu understood immediately! He respectfully took out cigarettes from his pocket and handed one to the old man. Then he and Fatty Wang lit one each and began to listen carefully! The old man didn't talk nonsense, he took the cigarette skillfully, lit it, and took a big puff: "Martial arts actually belong to the category of warriors. In the entire Cangfeng Continent, there are actually two types of cultivation. One is to follow the warrior route. , the second is to take the path of cultivation. The so-called cultivation is actually cultivation, and it is also the cultivation of immortality, which belongs to the path of immortality. What warriors cultivate is martial arts, what they cultivate is martial arts, what they cultivate is themselves, what they cultivate is the body. And what they cultivate is cultivating. Qi cultivates immortality, so it is also called the cultivation of immortality." "There are nine realms for warriors to practice, and ten realms for immortal cultivators. Warriors and immortal cultivators are both in the body refining realm. They are both at the tenth level. And the realms after that are all realms. The realms of each other are different. Therefore, the body refining realm is the stepping stone to the threshold of cultivation, no matter whether you practice martial arts or immortality in the future. After martial arts body refining, it will be: bone forging realm (fifteenth level), marrow cleansing realm (tenth level) , Entering the level (one to nine levels), Little Grandmaster (early stage, middle stage, Dzogchen), Great Grandmaster (initial stage, middle stage, Dzogchen), Half-step Transformation Realm, Transformation Realm (Initial stage, middle stage, Dzogchen), Martial Master. Cultivation of immortals The realms after the body refining realm are: Qi refining realm (tenth level), Qi gathering realm (fifth level), foundation building (early, middle, and late stages), and elixir formation stage (also known as golden elixir stage, early, middle, and late stages). ), Nascent Soul Stage (early, middle, and late stages), Transformation Stage (early, middle, and late stages), Refining the Void, Combining Body, and Mahayana. In fact, do you two think that the Nine Realms of Martial Arts are one less realm than the Tenth Realms of Immortal Dao? Martial Arts Will it be weaker than the Immortal Dao? In fact, it is not true. Martial arts has always been stronger than the Immortal Dao on this continent. Because the Immortal Dao cultivates immortality, and the root of the Tao lies in immortality. No matter how strong the top masters of the Immortal Dao are, their attacks Compared with the masters who practice martial arts, their methods are always much weaker. The practice of martial arts starts from the body, bones, and heart (mental toughness), and improves through continuous actual combat. It can be said that the peak of martial arts is from the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood. , tempered, but how can it be compared to those immortal cultivators who only know how to meditate, understand the way of heaven, and practice magic techniques all day long? Martial arts are stronger when encountering strength, while immortal ways are just climbers in immortality. "Hearing this, Li Yu and Wang Qingyang both nodded. The two of them looked at each other and thought in tacit understanding (Aren't these special warriors and mages... How can a squishy one beat melee combat with high defense and thick blood? It will kill you! Hehe.) Here. At that time, Wang Qingyang said: "Old sir, I have a question." The old man nodded slightly to Fatty Wang to signal him to ask. "Is there anyone who practices martial arts and immortality at the same time?" The old man looked at Wang Qingyang with a strange face: "How is it possible? Cultivating martial arts requires a lot of actual combat to accumulate experience and break through oneself, while immortality requires learning a lot of spells, and Most of the techniques also require meditation to achieve enlightenment. The two directions are in conflict, and the time required does not support one person to practice two different ways." Wang Qingyang nodded seriously, "But, according to my observation, Old sir, you practice martial arts, right? But why do you pick up objects from the air and light fire with your palms?" Hearing Wang Qingyang ask this, the old man laughed loudly, "What you see are just some trivial magic techniques, who says Don’t those who practice martial arts know the magic? Among the masters of martial arts, many people also know some of the magic and secret techniques of those in the immortal way. It is said that many skills are not overwhelming. Hahahaha. Do you know why, regardless of the introduction to cultivation, Does practicing immortality or martial arts require the body refining state? Because body refining is to temper the body, remove excess impurities from the body, and make the body's strength reach a certain standard. Cultivation of immortality is about cultivating Qi. If the body cannot reach a certain standard , how can the body withstand the powerful spiritual energy that will be condensed into itself in the future? Therefore, cultivating the Immortal Path also requires a certain physical foundation. Cultivating the Martial Arts itself requires a strong body, so the body refining realm must be the entry point. In fact, practicing the Martial Arts , it’s a great advantage! When practicing martial arts, one’s body is very strong, so one can learn the magic techniques of the Immortal Way. Due to the physical condition, a martial practitioner can easily hold a lot of spiritual energy. It is naturally easy for a martial artist to learn some of the magic techniques of the Immortal Way. However, those who practice the Immortal Way do not have as tough bodies as those who practice the Martial Arts. Therefore, those who practice the Immortal Way cannot learn the secrets of martial arts. Even if they learn it, they will not be able to use the essence of these martial arts. It is better not to learn it. Hehe, so, martial arts training is very powerful. However, there are also many mysterious spells in the immortal way that martial arts practitioners cannot learn, because martial arts practitioners spend most of their time fighting and exercising, and do not practice some spells to strengthen their spiritual roots. , and there is no time to meditate and realize Taoism. Therefore, the spiritual root qualifications of martial arts practitioners are much inferior to those of immortality. Some of the magic techniques of immortality are restricted to those with low-grade spiritual roots. Therefore, martial arts practitioners cannot practice. Of course. There are also some extremely talented people who are the most favored by heaven. While practicing martial arts, they also practice some advanced magic techniques of immortality. At the same time, they also regularly set aside time to nourish their spiritual roots with elixirs, temper their spiritual energy, and achieve enlightenment. These strange people, in The existence of the entire lower three realms can be regarded as rare. As for those who have achieved great success in dual cultivation, whether it is the lower realm or the upper realm, we have never heard of the emergence of those who have achieved great success in dual cultivation from ancient times to the present. By the way, I haven’t told you yet. Let’s go to the warehouse Wind Continent belongs to the lower three realms. Our world is actually composed of three levels of realms, and each level of realm has three different realms, so it is divided into the upper three realms, the middle three realms, and the lower three realms. And where we are The Cangfeng Continent belongs to the lower three realms, the middle realm, the lowest level is the Ice Wind Continent, and the one level higher than our Cangfeng Continent is the Xuanfeng Continent. Each continent is distributed with many countries, large and small. As well as various sects and sects. As for the middle three realms and the upper three realms, I don't know. I heard that only those who practice martial arts or reach the pinnacle of immortality have the opportunity to go to those realms higher than heaven. As for how to get there and whether anyone has been there, these are just legends. I have also heard that, in fact, it is said that there is a higher realm above the peak of martial arts, the Mahayana, and the same is true for the Mahayana of immortality. I have been in the world for more than 130 years, and I only know what you and I are talking about today. I feel that these are just the beginning of this world. However, many legends are still legends. Why………"

Hearing this, Li Yu and Wang Qingyang were both stunned. The amount of information was so large that the two of them could no longer describe it as dumbfounded. If the two of them were holding computers on their heads, the CPU would probably be damaged several times. (Oh my God! What the hell! This is outrageous!!! The world of high-level martial arts that I thought was about martial arts has exploded, but here comes a cultivator. It’s so cruel!!) At this moment, Li Yuyi He rubbed his temples with a helpless face, trying to stay awake as much as possible, while Fatty Wang next door had been frozen in surprise for several minutes. I don’t know if his computer has crashed and is waiting to be restarted...

The old man looked at the expressions of the two people, smiled and shook his head, then slowly lay down and prepared to rest. "You two should digest it slowly. I will rest first, hahahahaha."

Li Yu and Wang Qingyang ignored the old man at all. They just looked at each other blankly, you look at me, I look at you. They look like a pair of living treasures. Li Yu: "Now that's it, the world of immortality you dreamed of... your uncle is really awesome..." Wang Qingyang "..."
