On the snowy ground, goose-feather-like snow fell with howling winds.
Two figures were running rapidly on the snow.
The person running in front was none other than Su Anran.
At this time, the expression on his face was like the violent storm on the snow.
Calm to the point of indifference.
But only those who know him well know that Su Anran is really angry.
…
For the passengers on the spirit boat, the three-day voyage was just a blink of an eye.
Most people choose to practice behind closed doors in their rooms. Only a few monks will take this opportunity to walk around on the spirit boat and make friends with more monks.
On the day Su Anran boarded the spirit boat, he had already heard from the good guys about the powerful people on the spirit boat he was on.
There is only one top force at this level among the Nineteen Sects.
The Ximen family from Xizhou.
The leader is Ximen Desheng, who is now somewhat famous in the occult world.
Aristocratic families are different from sects.
The inherited skills of the sect all have a very clear nature of inheritance: for example, the four major sword cultivating holy places are mainly based on sword skills; the Tiandao Sect is famous for its sword skills; even the Shenyuan Villa is mainly based on boxing and stick techniques.
The Dharma is famous. Not to mention Buddhism, Taoism, and the Academy. These three represent the three schools of Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism, and their exercises naturally have very clear and exclusive properties.
Different aristocratic families, as long as it is conducive to the development of the family, any martial arts will be involved.
Therefore, aristocratic families often give people the impression that they are not specialized enough and are rather complex.
For example, the Ximen family from Xizhou is famous for its sword skills, stick skills, palm skills and Buddhist techniques.
It is said that this is because when the ancestor of the Ximen family was young, because his family was poor, he sold himself to Lingshan to buy some food for the family. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a disciple of Buddha. Later, his cultivation gradually became stronger, but he was still not good at it.
Forget the support of the family, so the Ximen family gradually came into being. After the Lingshan split, the Ximen ancestor, who was already a strong man, did not die in that dispute, but chose to return to the secular world and return to the Ximen family. This is how we are now.
The Ximen family.
Ximen Desheng practices one of the most orthodox ancestral mental methods of the Ximen family, the "Heart Sutra".
It is said that when this skill is cultivated to perfection, one can achieve the goal of not falling. It is said that one can avoid falling into the sea of misery and suffer the pain of sinking. However, this statement only exists in theory. In fact, all the people who practice this skill, including Patriarch Ximen,
None of the disciples of the Ximen family who practice Men Xin Dharma have reached the Dzogchen realm.
But it is undeniable that in the sea of suffering after the Daoji realm, you can indeed avoid some pain of sinking. Compared with monks in the same realm, the monks who have practiced "Ruwen State of Mind" are somewhat behind in advancing to the realm.
And the benefits of "Ruwen Heart Sutra" don't stop at this.
This mental method also has a powerful bonus to some Buddhist exercises, and complements the Ximen family's "Burning Wood Knife Technique" and "Prajna Impression Palm".
Therefore, under normal circumstances, the children of the Ximen family who have practiced the "Ruwen Heart Sutra" will inevitably also practice the two martial arts skills of "Burning Wood Sword Technique" and "Prajna Impression Palm".
But precisely because of the power of the "Hearing the Heart Sutra", the qualifications for cultivation are also extremely strict. Ximen Desheng is the only Ximen disciple in the Ximen family in the past hundred years who can practice the "Hearing the Heart Sutra" to the fourth level -
-Compared to the fact that it is very difficult for the children of other Ximen aristocratic families to get started in this martial art, it is only natural that the Ximen aristocratic family would favor Ximen Desheng’s resources.
However, although the top power from the Nineteen Sects is only one person from the Ximen Family, there are more than ten first-class sects at the level next to the Nineteenth Sects gathered here.
In Xuanjie, in addition to the nineteen sects, there are also three levels of power division.
There are thirty-six first-class sects and clans in total, which are called the Thirty-six Sects. Among them, the top ten are also called the Top Ten Sects.
There are a total of seventy-two second-rate sects and wealthy families, collectively referred to as the Seventy-Two Upper Sects. Among them, the top ten are called the Upper Ten Sects. These ten are also the most powerful contenders for the Thirty-six Upper Sects.
, their conflicts with the ten families at the bottom of the Thirty-six Sects are the most profound and acute.
The sects and noble families of the third-rate forces are the cornerstone of the monastic world in the mysterious world. They are also the sects that have the most contact with the secular world. Basically, ordinary people deepen their understanding of the monastic world through these sects and noble families of the third-rate forces.
It is through these sects at the lowest level that the monastic world absorbs fresh blood and strengthens itself.
These third-rate forces are deeply involved with the Shang Zong's family, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are their eyes and ears. The strongest group among them is called the One Hundred and Eight Cave Paradise - in fact, they imitate the Shang Zong's family.
They claim to be thirty-six caves and seventy-two blessed lands, but in fact, in the eyes of Shangzong, they are just a group of children playing in enclosures, and they have to distinguish the strong and weak.
Of course, the division of these three levels is also a level recognized by Wanshilou.
In fact, below this, there is another level jokingly called "non-entry into the flow". But because it is not into the flow, the existence of this level is the closest distance to ordinary people, and it is their most basic first knowledge of the monastic world.
Only with the existence of this group of people can we have the understanding of the thirty-six caves and seventy-two blessed lands that can be accepted by mortals.
After all, for mortals, this is the limit of their imagination.
What about the thirty-six sects, the seventy-two sects, or even the nineteen sects of the Mysterious Realm? They can only show that they have never heard of it. Are the immortals with thirty-six caves and seventy-two blessed lands powerful?
This time, among the other ten first-rate forces on Lingzhou, there are seven from the previous ten sects.
They are the Zhongzhou Ji family, Zhongzhou Huang family, Zhongzhou Wang family and Zhongzhou Chen family, as well as disciples of Fairy Palace, Tianwang Temple and Sword Sect.
But looking at the constipated expressions on the faces of the four families in Zhongzhou, you can tell that they are quite unhappy that they actually bumped into people from the Ximen Family. So much so that they are okay with waiting for the four families to bump into each other.
Ignore the situation.
Tennoji, Sword Sect, and the other three top-notch powerful sects of the Thirty-six Sects were relatively indifferent.
After all, eighteen sects came from the nineteen sects this time. Excluding Longhushan, Xiaoleiyin Temple, Dainichi Tathagata Sect and Baijiayuan, there are still 14 super first-class sects. These fourteen sects have an average
Assigned to the eight spirit boats, there is still a high probability that they will collide with two of them. Therefore, at this time, we only encountered a super first-class sect like the Ximen Family. For the disciples of Tennoji, Sword Sect and other sects, it is already
It's the greatest luck.
However, compared to the sighs of the four clans in Zhongzhou and the self-consolation of others, the disciples of Fairy Palace are probably the happiest group.
All the disciples on the entire spirit boat, interspersed by this group of flowers and butterflies, except for those monks who were unkind or stoic, everyone else was like the Chinese New Year every day. The only two things Su Anran could think of for this scene were:
The two idioms are "talking by candlelight at night" and "talking for a long time".
This also made him truly realize what the great monk Miaocheng meant when he said, "It is better to deal with the Nineteen Sects than to meet the Fairy Palace."
So, when Su Anran saw Qingyu the next day, the first thing he said to her was "I'm sorry, I was wrong."
Qingyu's expression at that time was: black question mark.jpg.
Of course, Su Anran is also quite famous on this spiritual boat.
But the reason is not because he is a disciple of Taiyi Valley - in fact, because of the appearance of this social beauty from the Fairy Palace, the monks who were in the midst of the New Year carnival on the spirit boat almost forgot their last name, how could they have anything to think about?
Go and inquire about other monks.
In this way, Su Anran could successfully find out a lot of information about other monks.
The reason why Su Anran also fell into the eyes of these monks was because there was a little tail following him.
This time, although there were many people from the Qingqiu clan, Qingyu was not the leader of the team, unlike Ao Wei of the Bihai clan, Luo Na of the Shadow clan, and the Li family of the Dahuang clan, who were all leaders of their respective clans.
This is also the reason why Qingyu can follow Su Anran: part of it is still Qingyu's talent of seeking good fortune and avoiding disaster, and the other part of the reason is the transaction between her and Su Anran.
As Qingyu's number one follower, Black Dog, he failed to board the spirit boat for some unknown reason, so Qingyu suddenly became a loner. In a group full of human monks, she naturally had no choice but to follow Su Anran.
.
At least Su Anran, although he was kind to her, did not betray her that time in the Illusion Sea. Instead, she saved his life.
Strictly speaking, Qingyu still owes Su Anran a favor.
It is precisely because of such a small tail that Su Anran naturally becomes quite "charming" in the eyes of other human monks.
Three days passed by like a passing cloud.
Especially for those monks who were completely caught up in the carnival, the spirit boat had already arrived at its destination before they even felt anything.
This is a snowy land.
The place where the spirit boat landed was on a snowy peak.
Most of the monks on this spiritual boat were from Zhongzhou, and most of them had never seen snow before, so when they first saw this snowfield, they only had a sense of novelty and excitement about new things.
However, for those monks who had already seen the snow scene, their expressions seemed much normal, and they did not feel as excited and novel as most monks.
But there were also many monks whose eyes showed solemnity when they saw this snowy scene.
Su Anran has not only seen snow on earth, but also made snowmen, had snowball fights, and skied in the three northeastern provinces, so he naturally has nothing new about this snow scene. Especially after seeing Qingyu
After a solemn look appeared on his face, he also became wary of this snowy land, because he knew very well that Qingyu, a little fox, had no other abilities than his ability to seek good fortune and avoid evil.
"Is it dangerous?" Su Anran asked.
"You know that the rules of this year's Tianyuan Trial are different from the past, right?" Qingyu asked without answering.
Su Anran nodded.
When he was queuing up in front of the spirit boat, he had already heard the rules of this Tianyuan trial announced by Wanshilou.
In the past, only three to five thousand people participated in the Tianyuan Trial, so there were no too special rules.
But this year was different. There were too many participants, so Wanshilou re-formulated the rules for the Tianyuan Trial.
Wanshilou divided the Tianyuan Secret Realm into more than a dozen different areas, and then randomly selected a location for the destination of each spirit boat. Only after the spirit boat set sail, the pre-designed location was chosen.
The destination is reached automatically, so there is no possibility of cheating.
According to past rules, when a monk sets sail for Tianyuan Secret Realm, he will basically know the content of the first task - the first stage of Tianyuan Trial, which is divided into three tasks. Only after completing the previous task will you get
Know the content of the next mission - but this time, Wanshilou did not announce the content of the first mission at the same time as setting sail.
In the past, those monks were so obsessed with the gentleness of the Fairy Palace that most people ignored this point, but after all, not everyone will fall into the gentleness.
There are still many sober people.
For example, Ximen Desheng, such as Su Anran, such as Qingyu.
"This is Hunshang." Qingyu said in a deep voice, "It is one of the most valuable and most dangerous places in the Tianyuan Secret Realm."
"Hunshang?" Su Anran frowned slightly.
Just by hearing the name, you can tell that this place is not simple.
"The climate here is very unstable, even the length of day and night is chaotic, and a snowstorm may suddenly occur at any time." Qingyu knew that Su Anran didn't know much about these common sense, so she explained, "And it's not just snowstorms,
At night, there will be strong spiritual pressure, and the ability to sense the consciousness for ten meters is considered very powerful."
For monks in the Tongqiao Realm, before the Ajna Aperture is opened, their spiritual perception is generally around 100 meters.
The slightly stronger one is about 150 meters.
Su Anran belongs to the relatively strong category. Because he practices "Forging God Record", his spiritual perception can reach 180 meters. Coupled with the special effects of Yun Haipei, Su Anran's
The spiritual perception actually reaches 360 meters, which is almost the limit of spiritual perception for a monk who has opened the eyebrow aperture.
Of course, as the distance of spiritual perception increases, the perception will actually gradually become blurred, which means that it is impossible to perceive it so clearly and in detail.
Generally, monks will become quite blurry after about fifty meters.
Su Anran was better, and it would only start to become blurry when she was about 120 meters away.
"Like... deep in the phantom sea?"
Su Anran had a deep understanding of the impact of mental pressure on spiritual perception in the sea of illusions.
"More than that." Qingyu shook her head, "The Illusion Divine Sea is the Great Sanctuary of Mirage Monsters after all, so it does not have any impact on our monster clan, but it is different here. All outside creatures are very repulsive here, so no matter what
Whether it’s you or me, the pressure we receive at night is very strong.”
"You mean, it has no impact on the creatures here?"
"Yes." Qingyu nodded, "So the most dangerous thing in the Land of Souls is not only the snowstorm, but also the night."
"snowstorm?"
"Under the influence of the blizzard, your soul will be completely frozen. Once your soul is frozen, you know what will happen."
After hearing Qingyu's words, Su Anran's expression became awe-inspiring.
When the soul is frozen, for a monk, it means true death, and there is no possibility of even using the art of dismemberment.
