Kennan has never slowed down since he stepped out of the Kuexin Balance Hall.
He flew briskly across mountains, cliffs, plains and highlands, and the colorful land was like a whirlpool of colorful ink. The yordle turned into a rapidly moving tiny speck on the thick ink scroll, and it was a thunder speck.
Unlike Volibear, the thunder god of the Freljord, Kennen symbolizes the swift lightning thunder.
As the heart of the storm of the Kinkou Sect, he has conveyed the rulings of the sect leaders thousands of times.
But this time is different. Kennen thought to himself that Ionia does have a unique position in the entire Runeterra. First of all, the First Land has the longest history, and it also defeated Noxus, the strongest warlord on the mainland. Such a record
Looking at the entire Rune Continent, it is a level that we can be proud of.
But this does not mean that Ionia can fight against the forces behind the young legend, and only he himself knows that Ionia is now in disarray.
Yes, a piece of loose sand.
Ionia is composed of nine alliance provinces in total, which vaguely corresponds to the ancient legend of the nine dragon scales being unified.
These nine alliance provinces have their own provincial capitals and propositions, and almost all have development directions.
Except for the spiritual leader of Presidence, the capital of Ionia's largest province of Navoli, everyone else is fighting with each other, splitting Ionia into pieces.
Zhiyun Province is a very traditional Ionian province. They advocate meditation, rule by inaction, and the unity of nature and man. They are extremely opposed to so-called progress and scientific development. They believe that this is unbalanced and will greatly enhance the power of the material realm.
Thereby correspondingly weakening the power of the spiritual realm.
In this way, their traditional culture will gradually be lost, and they will no longer be called Ionians.
"Those radical opponents will even attack the young legend, which will end badly!"
However, Kennan would never have thought of it at this time.
Zhiyunnia, the capital of Zhiyun Province, is experiencing a scene that makes people laugh or cry.
…
At this time, Lin Luo had already felt the city center of Zhiyunnia.
This place has experienced the ravages of war, but has now been rebuilt. Since Zivonia is the traditional capital of Ionia, everything from landmark buildings to small streets and alleys is filled with a natural and harmonious atmosphere.
The sky is not blue or deep like the rest of Runeterra, but is like a colorful oil painting, full of mysterious and ancient vivid colors.
Lin Luo looked carefully and realized that those colorful scenes were not static, but flickering and dynamic.
It turns out that in the sky of this land, it should be said that everywhere around you and at any time, there are indescribable auras of various colors floating in the air. These auras are soft and beautiful, but you cannot feel them with your hands and skin. Various auras are floating in the air.
and wandering around, much like the souls or ghosts in ancient oriental stories.
But in fact this is not the case, these are all spirits.
All Spirits, a spiritual life unique to Ionia.
It is recorded in the scriptures of ancient Eastern Ionia:
All things have animism, floating in the mountains, rivers and seas.
"I heard that Ionia is a wonderful place. The spiritual world and the material world coexist."
Lin Luo looked at the flashing auras around him, raised his hand to touch with some surprise and interest, only to find that the floating auras penetrated through his palms. They seemed to be able to sense Lin Luo's intention to touch, and then
With a slight tremor, a ball of spiritual light as soft as a jellyfish twisted around and walked away around Lin Luo.
"It's interesting. Is this Wanling?"
Lin Luo stared with interest at the twinkling lights everywhere in the sky and earth. These lights, together with the buildings, animals, and humans of Ionia, make up this ancient land. It can be called the most legendary place in Runeterra.
.
"You cannot touch a strange traveler."
A stiff voice sounded next to him, his tone full of self-discipline, self-restraint, and a hint of perceptible wariness.
Lin Luo turned around without changing his expression.
But he saw a tall, middle-aged man in green robe with a veil on his face standing in the distance.
"I am Bu Nu, the teacher of the Kinkou branch in Laiken City, and you are Lin, the legendary adventurer from the distant heroic city-state."
Lin Luo did not answer, but crossed his arms and looked at him with interest.
It wasn't that he was pretending to be cold or anything else, but he saw something very unexpected. It could be said that he had been playing games and running quests for so long. This was the first time he saw an NPC with a "cold favorability" in a certain area, and it was
Without triggering any plot.
You should know that the favorability level in the game is generally a dividing line. Generally speaking, if the favorability level goes up, it means friendliness, and if it goes down, it means indifference.
In other words, the other party was hostile to him now. Lin Luo was not surprised when he thought about the reminder that the poor monk was here before he came.
"Why don't you say anything?"
The middle-aged man in green robe said in a stiff and inhuman tone.
"oh."
Lin Luo raised his eyebrows:
"You just said that I can't touch him, please tell me more carefully?"
Bu Nu said in a deep voice:
"Because you are a human being, and human beings are existences living in the material realm. The brilliance between heaven and earth is all spirits, and they are existences living in the spiritual realm. People in different realms cannot touch each other, but if...
"
Having said this, Bunu suddenly raised his hand to twist his fingers, and gently twirled Wan Ling, who was passing by Lin Luo and drifting toward him.
A wonderful scene happened.
The palm-sized yellowish aura was like a cute little life, and he held it on his fingertips. Immediately, the latter flicked his finger, and the yellowish aura fluttered out like a butterfly, flying leisurely in a farther direction.
"If you are a disciple of the Balance Sect, or some reclusive master, or a disciple of several major martial arts schools, ancestral temples, or sword fields, you can also gain the ability to communicate with the spiritual realm and the physical realm at the same time through acquired practice.
Ability, like me."
He touched a larger orange-yellow all-spirit next to him, which looked like a larger spiritual creature. Lin Luo could not see the spiritual creature with his naked eyes, but in the eyes of the other party, it seemed to be another scene.
In the meantime, Wan Ling rubbed against Bu Nu's side affectionately, and then slowly walked away into the distance.
Lin Luo felt very surprised. Eastern Ionia gave him a strange feeling.
If the Twin Cities symbolize the punk struggle of resistance, Freljord is the Nordic mythology that symbolizes ancient beauty.
Well, Ionia has a very classical oriental beauty. The expression on anyone's face, the tone and tone of speech, style and philosophy make him adapt to it immediately. There is no need to say more about the reasons.
"Can you please tell me carefully, what is Wanling?"
Lin Luo smiled and crossed his arms, showing a very interested look.
He doesn't feel nervous at all in this place. On the one hand, the Legion of Heroes branch is here. From a player's perspective, he is the local leader here. From a local world perspective, he uses all his ultimate moves to directly enter the demigod level, Ionia.
No one can beat him with more than one hand.
"Sir, I have no obligation to tell you this."
Bu Nu's tone was neither cold nor indifferent.
"Oh, is this Ionia's hospitality? You don't seem to be very friendly to strange travelers. It seems that I have to re-recognize Ionia's senses."
Lin Luo shrugged and turned away.
At this time, Bu Ang's eyes were visibly flustered. He thought of what Master Kainan had told him and hurriedly called Lin Luo:
"Wait a minute!"
Lin Luo paused.
Bu Nu took a deep breath and said:
"I know a good teahouse. The scenery there is pleasant and the tea smells beautiful. We might as well sit down and talk."
He received an order from Master Kennan. No matter how he retained Lin Luo, he must wait until the latter arrived. Now was the opportunity.
"totally agree."
Valley bound
Lin Luo smiled:
"Whoever asks for a treat, I'll drink the most expensive one."
Bu Nu's face turned pale, he subconsciously covered his clinking pockets, gritted his teeth and said in pain:
"good!"
…
[Tip: You have set out on a temporary mission in Ionia: The Trial of the Kinkou]

[Evaluation: If you pull a hair, the whole body will move; if the tree wants to be still, the wind will not stop.]
Fenglai Teahouse is what Bunu said is the best teahouse in this area.
According to the information fed back through the Eye of Insight, the left guardian assigned by the Balance Sect and Laiken City - Bu Nu, is a level 45 epic NPC, and his profession is actually a rare ninja.
However, it is not the main profession, but the branch professions that are subordinate to warriors, assassins, and mages.
In the eyes of ordinary players, his level can be said to be very impressive, but Lin Luo is already level 53. Although he will lose some levels under the curse of the gods in the future, it is no exaggeration to say that he wants to crush this guy to death. Protector Zuo is like crushing an ant, except he doesn't know how to do it.
"Now can you tell me what the so-called all spirits are?"
Lin Luo and Bu Nu sat opposite each other.
The breeze is gentle and the tea is fragrant. It is quite like a Taoist master making tea and discussing Taoism.
Bu Nu meditated for a moment, then opened his eyes and said:
"The so-called all spirits refer to the spirits of all things."
Lin Luo was slightly surprised. He was not unfamiliar with this word, but it was a bit surprising to hear it from this game, especially from this NPC.
"You mean the spirits of all things in heaven and earth?"
Lin Luo knew a lot about Eastern culture, even mythology.
"Yes, you must know that when the world first opened, all things had animism. The first opening of the world refers to Ionia. This is why Ionia is called the land of birth, and no other place in Rune Land dares to call itself that. The newly born land, even the ancient Freljord or Shurima, or even Mount Targon with its gods."
Lin Luo's eyes lit up:
"The heaven and earth were first opened...the land was born. It turned out that there was this allusion and reason in it."
Bu Nu was very satisfied with Lin Luo's surprised expression, and his lukewarm tone became a little proud, as if he was proud and satisfied with Ionia.
He picked up the celadon tea cup and took a sip:
"It's far more than that. This is just the tip of the iceberg of the newly born land."
Lin Luo smiled and said:
"Please elaborate."
He continued without getting angry:
"According to legend, the divine dragon created this world, and Ionia, as the first land where the world first opened, gave birth to a kind of powerful life that existed only in ancient times, which we call...spirit."
Lin Luo nodded. Their legendary dragon was naturally the Star Casting Dragon King in the background story.
It is different from the ancient dragon clan in the West. It is a dragon god at the level of gods. He is also the only creator of Rune Land who exists in the form of an eastern dragon. He is a five-clawed dragon in the eastern starry sky condensed by the power of the stars.
"Spirit is a kind of life, a very powerful life."
Bu Nu spoke very carefully, carefully considering every word:
"And there are two types of spirits. One is the innate spirits. They are powerful and free, and their miraculousness is unimaginable. The other is the acquired spirits, which are formed after the life of all things in Ionia disappears.
The spirit of creation.”
Lin Luo suddenly realized something:
"Could it be that this is the so-called...all spirits?"
"Good understanding."
Bu Nu's eyes towards Lin Luo suddenly changed and he said:
"If you were born in Ionia, you must be the best Zen master or a disciple of the Kinkou Sect. You may become the new Eye of Twilight or the Fist of Shadow."
Lin Luo just smiled and said:
"I am who I am."
Bu Nu does not argue about this, but continues the topic just now:
"The so-called souls are the souls that are transformed into the world after the death of all things in Ionia. You know that the dead cannot be confused with the living in the world. Otherwise, the reincarnation of heaven and earth will be interrupted, and Ionia will
It became a mess, so Shenlong created another world for those spirits."
Lin Luo answered again:
"Spiritual World."
"Your understanding is really excellent."
Bu angrily sighed:
"Ionia has a spiritual world and a material world. Now you should understand that the place where all things in our world live is the material world. Just like this cup of tea, it is tea in the material world. It belongs to matter, and so do we.
Substances, so we can drink tea, but they are indispensable."
He pointed at a blue aura floating around Lin Luo.
"Because they exist in the spiritual world, this is why you could only see them before, but could not touch them. They can also see you, but they cannot touch you, nor can they communicate with you.
"
Lin Luo smiled and said:
"To put it simply, in the material world, all things in the world exist; in the spiritual world, all the spirits in the world exist."
He took a sip of tea and said:
"This is what you said before, Wanling."
Bunu was slightly stunned, and suddenly looked at Lin Luo blankly:
"His words are to the point, his words are concise and concise, and he is a genius."
"But how did you touch all the spirits just now? The unique method of the Kinkou Sect?"
Lin Luo held the table curiously.
This question is actually a bit sensitive, but it doesn't stop him from asking.
"Yes, it's actually not just the Kinkou sect."
Bu Nu thought for a while and said in a deep voice:
"Saint Irelia of Presidio was born with spiritual wisdom and could communicate with the material and spiritual worlds when she opened her eyes; the monks in the Shilana Monastery in the Northeast Province could also communicate with the two worlds, and the eminent monks of Shuoji Temple
Li Qing, Master Yi, the swordsman of the Wuji Sword Field... Anyone who has developed a strong cultivation to a certain level can communicate with the material and spiritual worlds."
Lin Luo nodded:
"So this is what Ionia calls spiritual practice."
