The First Sword of the Earth

Twilight.

Wang Sheng walked on the mountain behind the Xinghai Gate, and he intuitively felt these four words.

He thought that when he went out for a walk, he would meet a few immortals talking in the garden, one or two disciples strolling in the tree-lined path, or one or two old men who were hiding their secrets.

It's a pity that what I see is only mountains, rocks and forests, and what I hear are low-pitched words, occasionally I see one or two figures, they are all in a hurry, as if they are afraid of talking to people.

I feel that Xinghai Gate is very similar to the area where casual cultivators live in the small town.

When Wang Sheng went out, he didn't carry his great sword on his back, but just walked around, like a master who was inspecting his backyard.

But Wang Sheng soon discovered that the scope of his activities was actually limited. The core of Xinghai Gate was on another peak, where he could sense two powerful auras, one of which was more familiar, which was himself. Pay homage to the deputy head of the sect.

It's not that Wang Sheng can't go there, but he needs to find a better excuse.

On this kind of matter, Wang Sheng was a little too lazy to use his brain, so he went straight to the place he was most interested in——

The Buddhist scriptures pavilion of Xinghai Gate.

The Sutra Pavilion is on an independent mountain, surrounded by several large arrays.

Wang Sheng stepped on a white cloud and flew out of the formation, took out his Dharma Protector ID card, and opened a gap in the formation to allow Wang Sheng to enter smoothly.

It is more appropriate to call it the Buddhist scriptures pavilion and the Buddhist scriptures tower.

This building was built according to the mountain situation. What you can see is a six-story pagoda. The tower is more than 100 meters high, but it still looks a little bloated.

The Xinghai Gate has existed for more than 12,000 years, and it is actually relatively young among the Immortal Gates.

Stored here are the immortal arts and scriptures collected by Xinghaimen over the years, as well as some poetry collections, music scores, and star maps.

Each floor has an independently operating formation restriction. Wang Sheng's identity can go to the fourth floor, and the upper two floors cannot be entered.

He didn't mind it, and started to walk around patiently on the first floor.

There are disciples and elders on duty in the Sutra Pavilion. On the fourth floor, there is an old man from the real fairyland guarding it, and the Xinghaimen disciples on the lower three floors are not high-level.

They were in charge of arranging the book slips and jade plaques, and cleaning everywhere, but few people would come to the Sutra Pavilion on weekdays, and most of these disciples just practiced at the door.

Picking up a book of Immortal Art and reading it, Wang Sheng soon shook his head, inferring that the cultivator who created this Immortal Art should not have a high level, and his understanding of the Dao is very simple, and the utilization rate of this Immortal Art for immortal power is quite low.

After wandering around for a while, taking a few books and jade plaques to look at from time to time, Wang Sheng soon lost interest...

The second layer is also in a similar situation. They are all miscellaneous fairy arts, but there are a lot of them.

He has no shortage of immortal methods to use, but he is just curious and wants to learn more, so there is no need to read books one by one.

The third floor stores all kinds of "many titles" books. Wang Sheng found a somewhat old star map of the Eastern Sky Territory. stars.

The so-called Eastern Heaven Territory is actually the territory divided by the Heavenly Court back then, referring to the endless starry sky facing the Eastern Heaven Gate.

Thousands of stars are densely marked on this star map, all of which are energetic, capable of cultivation, and relatively famous. location within.

There is actually an extremely long distance between them. There is no clear and unified 'ruler' on this star map, and it can only be used as a reference.

The truly valuable copy of [Eastern Tianyu Yuandong Star Treasure Mirror] is definitely regarded as a treasure by Xinghaimen, and will not be randomly placed on the third floor.

If so, Wang Sheng also expanded this star map into his Tianfu, and hung it in an area where the soul can see it at any time.

When I get a more accurate star map, I will update it in time.

With these harvests, it is quite good for Xinghaimen and his party.

Wang Sheng climbed up to the fourth floor, his eyes brightened immediately.

It is no longer messy here, the books and jade plaques are sorted, and there are wooden plaques as guides everywhere, which can save him a lot of time.

The point is that there are only a few hundred classics in this place, and a large open area is placed on futons, where one can meditate and practice while comprehending the magic of immortality.

There are finally a few figures here, but they are all practicing in the corner.

The immortal arts stored here are probably at the second-rate or quasi-first-rate level; it's just that Wang Sheng, who is used to seeing the immortal arts of the Heavenly Court, is really not interested in them.

On the contrary, it was the bookshelf marked 'miscellaneous'. Wang Sheng stepped nearby, as if stuck in it, unable to move for a long time.

There are more than ten books and hundreds of jade slips collected here, it is simply...

So much fun!

The first thing Wang Sheng found was a travel note written by a celestial being; this is a celestial being who likes to visit mountains and rivers, and whenever he goes to a place, he will record his itinerary in a poem on a jade slip. Occasionally, a few thought-provoking insights into Taoism will be left behind.

This jade slip is very rich in content, Wang Sheng read it from the beginning to the end, and even spent a bit of immortal power on it.

——To read these jade slips, one needs to inject immortal power into the restriction of the jade slips, and to unfold the content engraved in the jade slips, one must keep using immortal power to keep reading.

There are many travel notes like this in this place, most of them are from the hands of gods, and they are all 'antiques' that have been passed down for an unknown age.

It's right to think about it, Jinxian is already a long-lived person, and usually he would not let such a 'diary' he wrote be left outside.

Compared with heavenly immortals, real immortals have too short a lifespan, so they are too busy cultivating for resources, so they seldom go around and see; moreover, their own cultivation level is not high enough, so many people will not pay attention to these things.

In these travel notes, there are strange and wonderful stars, a famous master, and many medicine pills, exercises, and formations are mentioned, which really opened Wang Sheng's eyes.

After 'soaking' here for three days, Wang Sheng finally finished reading the content of these jade slips, and indeed knew a lot of miscellaneous allusions.

But in these miscellaneous books, Wang Sheng only found a few simple sentences about the Heavenly Court, such as 'there was once an immortal emperor who wanted to stand side by side with the gods of the great way', or 'what if he was the master of the three realms who was so powerful and as strong as a cloud'... …

Obviously, this ancient battlefield is left over from the two wars between the heavenly court and the anti-heavenly court forces. The world of casual cultivators who survived on this ancient battlefield has no systematic legends about the heavenly court...

This is somewhat ironic.

Probably the true portrayal of winners and losers.

I have read idle books for three or four days, it is time to go back to practice;

One day earlier, if I have thoroughly comprehended the immortality of the true spirit, when my own sword spirit comes back and uses the combination of human and sword, it is estimated that I will be able to escape from the hands of the "not very powerful" angels. Among these thirteen stars, it can be regarded as a true immortal. High-end combat power.

There are risks in riding the tide, and comrades need to be cautious. If you have no strength, you will only be killed by the tide.

Therefore, we must repeatedly emphasize that we must practice hard and work hard...

"Um?"

Wang Sheng was suddenly attracted by a letter.

This letter is made of long jade boards bound together, which is very common in itself, with a few small ancient characters engraved on the front. Wang Sheng tried his best to identify the handwriting for a while, and found that it was very similar to the handwriting on many ancient books in the Heavenly Court.

"Old Man Xinghai Note."

Holding the letter in his hand, it was quite heavy.

Unwrapping the golden rope wrapped around the slips and carefully spreading them out, Wang Sheng's eyes widened, and he was shocked immediately!

On this, there are strange words on the Six-faced Immortal Stele!

Daowan!

The text of the great way!

What surprised Wang Sheng even more was the ancient characters written on the first jade slip on the right, which is also the 'title' of this jade slip:

"Three Essays on the Ancient Way"

Daoist Wang immediately sat down on the ground, slowly spread out a third of the jade slips, and suddenly found a short Daoist text and the notes behind it.

If you want to understand Taoism, there is only one way—enlightenment.

After reading this Taoist essay for a while, Wang Sheng also felt that he had obtained something vaguely, but the result was very vague; when he turned to read the notes of the old man Xinghai, he suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment.

This dao text only has more than 50 characters, and the old man Xinghai's annotation is very concise, only using more than 300 words to explain the general interpretation of the dao text.

Moreover, because it is too concise, and the writing is obscure, there are many ambiguities in the words, Wang Sheng also struggled to read the annotations. It took a long time to figure out what the five-point Taoism was talking about.

Then he was a little speechless.

This article is actually talking about... an existence so noble that it cannot be mentioned by name, the whole process of eating and eating.

This being is still a bit picky eater, this one is not good, that one is not good, and in the end he ate something that suits his appetite, and fell asleep quite happily.

Continue to scroll backwards, besides the notes, there are also comments left by the old man Xinghai.

Wang Sheng roughly translated the comment in his heart:

'According to research, most of the Daoist texts came from the hands of the congenital powers of the immortal world in ancient times; what is recorded in this article seems to be eating, but in fact it should be the matter of the ancient beings enshrining the innate souls, and all the things they eat are spirits. '

Continuing to look back, the next two essays are also meaningless essays, both of which are records of some trivial things in ancient times.

Wang Sheng couldn't help but think of the six-faced immortal stele in his hometown. The six-faced immortal stele is said to carry the supreme immortal law, and a little doubt suddenly arose in his heart...

So what is recorded on it is really a fairy method?

If it is a fairy method, why didn't Emperor Ziwei teach it to the immortals in heaven after he realized it?

Going back further, it is said that after comprehending the six-faced immortal stele and achieving supreme supernatural powers, the immortal emperor who wanted to surpass the Dao, Yao Yun's father, why didn't he pass on this supreme immortal law to his subordinates? ?

Could it be that the Six-faced Immortal Monument actually records not immortal techniques, but some ancient secrets?

Shaking his head, Wang Sheng expelled this somewhat absurd idea from his mind, but he became very interested in Dao Wen from the bottom of his heart.

He got up, flipped through the other letters, but found no more Taoism.

Just as he was about to return home disappointed, he suddenly saw the words 'Xinghai Old Man's Note' and suddenly burst out laughing.

Where are you?

Star Sea Gate!

If it is said that Xinghai Gate has nothing to do with the old man Xinghai, Wang Daochang will definitely not believe it even if he hits shit.

At that moment, he held the jade slip and walked straight towards the old man who was leaning over his desk and trimming something.

This is an elder from Xinghaimen, with a true immortal cultivation base, it seems that his lifespan is about to run out, and he can feel a little old-fashioned at this moment.

The old man was repairing a tablet there. This could be done easily with the fairy method, but the old man used scissors, golden silk rope, and a pair of wrinkled old hands to do it slowly, as if he was enjoying the process.

Seeing this, Wang Sheng didn't bother, and waited not far away with the letter in his arms.

After waiting for almost two hours, the old man finally looked up at him and asked Wang Sheng:

"What's wrong?"

"Are the elders finished?"

"Who are you?"

"I am a new protector, my surname is Pi and my name is Kachu," Wang Sheng cupped his hands and said, "I have something I want to ask the elder."

"Oh?" The old man put down the scissors in his hand, and pointed to the front of the table casually, and a wooden stool floated from the side.

"Sit down and talk, it's rare that someone asks me something."
