Liang Yusi's face turned red and then turned pale again.

She escaped from the family all the way, thinking that her dress and behavior were flawless, but she didn't expect to be seen through at a glance.

"I'm just out to travel, and I won't pose any threat to you."

She has a fair and beautiful appearance. When she was disguised as a man, she was somewhat frail. Once she knew that she was a woman disguised as a man, in the eyes of others, this frailty would become quiet.

It's a pity that the two people in front of them don't have the heart to pity and cherish jade.

Yun Zong's tone remained indifferent: "Since it's a tour, why rush to follow us out of the city?"

Liang Yusi bit his lower lip, "I met old people in Lingzhou. I wanted to avoid them, so I came to Luzhou. I didn't expect them to come to Luzhou too."

She paused, and then said: "My surname is Mu, and my name is Mu Jie. It is inconvenient for female cultivators to walk on the mainland, so I changed into men's clothes. The two seniors have higher cultivation levels than me. There must be a lot of adults, and they won't be with me. This little girl has common sense."

Seeing that she couldn't hide it, she simply told the truth, seeing that Yun Zong and the two knew that she was a female cultivator, and they didn't do anything excessive, she couldn't help feeling a little more at ease, and gave them a little compliment.

Yun Zong asked: "What is the relationship between the Mu family of Xianhu Island and you?"

Mu Jie said: "I belong to a side branch, my parents died early, and I am fostered in my family."

Yun Zong was thoughtful: "The Mu family has family precepts, and all advanced spells are only passed on to the children of the family, and the side branches can only learn a little bit."

Mu Jie said: "Yes, there is indeed this rule."

Zhou Yin suddenly said: "But those little things have already allowed you to advance to the foundation stage. In this way, the other Mu family's children have at least formed alchemy?"

He asked purely out of curiosity, but to Mu Jie's ears, it turned into a mockery of her modesty, and she blushed for a while.

It was still Yun Zong who said: "As far as I know, the Patriarch of the Mu family has just formed an alchemy. If she didn't lie, then her cultivation should all come from her own talent or hard training."

"Yes," Mu Jie smiled wryly, "I have worked really hard to reach today's cultivation level, but that's all. If I can't learn more advanced spells, I will only be a foundation-building cultivator in my life, so I just want to go out, hoping to have a better opportunity."

There was a faint worry between her brows, and it seemed that it was not the only reason, but Yun Zong didn't ask any more.

Judging from the previous performance, Mu Jie is indeed a fledgling monk. She may be quite talented, but she is inexperienced. Even in the battle just now, she was in a hurry. This cannot be faked.

Zhou Yin asked: "Since you are talented and hardworking, why doesn't the Mu family want to cultivate you?"

Before Mu Jie could speak, Yun Zong said casually, "Because people in the main family are afraid of threatening their own status, they will not let the people in the side branch learn higher things. The outstanding children in the side branch, the women will either be used as marriage alliances. Object, the male is slightly better, if he can adopt the family, he can also learn some more advanced things, but at most he can only help from the side, and he will never be the head of the family."

Mu Jie smiled wryly: "Although I don't want to admit it, what Senior said is true."

Yun Zong snorted slightly: "Many cultivation families on the mainland stick to the rules, most of them are like this."

Zhou Yin listened quietly, silent.

In his eyes, there is no distinction between high and low, only ability. Since it is a family, it is a group with common interests. In order to make the group stronger, it is natural to unite from top to bottom. There is also leisure and leisure to eliminate dissidents internally. It is no wonder that so many sects and families have declined and disappeared 5000 years after the fall of his previous life.

Zhou Yin was a demon cultivator in his previous life, most of the time he was a loner, and rarely got involved in the disputes within these sects. Yes even handle such things.

Seeing more, the state of mind and behavior will naturally change unconsciously.

To some extent, he is actually a very pure person, so in the past, he would think such things are very ridiculous. The selfishness and greed in human nature are manifested vividly in these people, but the people he has come into contact with in this life are even more There are many, and there are many things to see. Lu Yanping, who is smooth by nature, but willing to hand over his sect to others in order to protect his disciples; But there was no Yun Zong who just walked away at a critical moment.

"What are you thinking about?" Yun Zong saw Zhou Yin's thoughtful expression.

"No," Zhou Yindan said, "What did you say to add up?"

Yun Zong said: "Sima Liang's role in the Qinggumen is very important, they may not be willing to give up, what are your plans?"

Zhou Yin said: "Find a place to retreat."

Before Yun Zong could respond, Mu Jie on the side said, "I have a proposal, I wonder if the two seniors are interested?"

Seeing that both of them were looking at her, Mu Jie said, "In three years' time, there will be a once-in-a-hundred-year event on Haisha Island in the South China Sea."

Yun Zong said: "You mean Lianyin Immortal Mansion?"

Mu Jie nodded: "That's right, the Lianyin Immortal Mansion is opened every 100 years. It is said that there are countless magic treasures in it. Once you pass the test, you can become a destined person. It just so happens that three years later, on June [-]th, you will be Lianyin Immortal again." The day the mansion is open. I was originally interested, but unfortunately I don’t have enough cultivation. I’m afraid it won’t work alone. I’m looking for someone to go with me. I don’t know if the two seniors are willing to take me with me? After three years, you should be able to advance to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, so you won't be dragging down the two."

Although she is a female cultivator, she is elegant and generous, without the attitude of ordinary women. Yun Zong and Zhou Yin are not disgusted with her, and after hearing what she said, they naturally became interested in the Lianyin Immortal Mansion.

Yun Zong thought to himself that his injury hadn't healed, and he just needed time to heal it, so he was a little moved, and looked at Zhou Yin again, only to see Zhou Yin nodded slightly at him, apparently agreeing to the proposal.

Yun Zong pondered for a while: "These three years will go to retreat separately, and three years later, we will meet at Haishazhou."

Seeing that the two agreed, Mu Jie couldn't help showing a smile, which instantly made people's eyes shine.

"I've been to Haishazhou once. The largest inn on it is Zhuyingju. We can meet there."

Yun and Zhou Ziran agreed, and the agreement was considered finalized.

After a few days, Zhou Yin's injury improved, and the three of them went back on the road, out of the woods, over the hills, and after a few days, they arrived at a small town, where they temporarily parted ways, and they would meet again after three years.

For three years, Zhou Yin took advantage of this retreat to hit the late stage of foundation establishment.

With Yun Zong's spirit stones and the talisman on his body, promotion is not a problem. After everything is arranged properly, he found a secluded cave in the mountains, set up a barrier, and began a three-year retreat.

For cultivators, there are two main situations for promotion.

One is that when one's cultivation has reached a certain level and his state of mind is proficient, he will naturally succeed in advancing to the next level.This situation is now less and less.Because the state of mind cooperates with the cultivation base, it can make the cultivation base more stable. However, many people are eager for quick success and do not deliberately cultivate the state of mind.

One is to take the initiative to retreat and advance when you feel the time is right. There are often two results in this way, success or failure.Throughout the ages, there have been many cultivators, most of whom fell into this situation.Many people are eager to advance to the rank before their lifespan arrives, just hoping that they can become stronger, but in this way, they often feel that the time is ripe, and they may not be really proficient. Fewer, more fallen.There are also some people who have to forcibly retreat and advance because their lifespan is almost exhausted. These people generally have no hope of advancing, but they want to take advantage of the last chance to give it a go. In this case, the variable of natural failure is Even bigger, such as Zou Jingyuan, the former head of the Jinghai School.

The last situation is that he was promoted unknowingly. For example, when Zhou Yin visited the cave under Longyingtan, he had an adventure back in ancient times. After returning, he was promoted unconsciously.In fact, the reason why he was able to advance is also related to the first situation. Although he did not take the initiative to retreat, but after going through a series of things, his cultivation base and state of mind have reached a certain degree of perfection, and there is no need to deliberately retreat to practice .

Zhou Yin's retreat now belongs to the second situation.

It is much easier to hit different levels in the same stage than to cross a large stage.For example, many people are prone to perish when the foundation establishment period impacts the Jindan period, but rarely fall when the foundation establishment period impacts the late foundation establishment period. This is the reason.

Zhou Yinxiu's state of mind is already complete, and his advancement is naturally guaranteed, but he is not limited to advancement.

Retreat can strengthen the cultivation base, make the spiritual power flow more smoothly without blockage, and can also review the past and hone the state of mind.

From the time when he practiced the emptiness in his previous life, to the Zhou family village after his reincarnation, to the tragic death of Zhou's couple, and then to his own dying turn, Zhou Chen disappeared, and the past was unstoppable.

In his previous life, Zhou Yin didn't think very much, and his only focus was on becoming stronger, but this life is different. He finally has the people and things that have been in his heart. Once he is calm, these people and things will come up like a tide.

He also thought of the scene of crossing the thunder calamity before his death in his previous life. At that time, he didn't pay attention to it, but now thinking about it carefully, why his cultivation level at the stage of transformation is obviously no worse than that of the other monks at the stage of transformation, but everyone else succeeded Promoted to refine the void, ascended to the upper realm, but fell alone?

In the past, he had no distractions, focused on cultivation, and never cared about these things, but after experiencing the ancient times, it was inevitable that he would think of more.

All of a sudden, thoughts flooded his mind.

If you don't return to one, you will return to yourself; if you don't stay in the middle, you will stay in the middle.

A little true thought is hidden in the Lingtai and remains unmoved, which is to guard the heart.

The subtlety of the Tao is better than nature, and where nature is, it is better to cultivate the mind.

No matter what experience Helian had and how high his cultivation was, now he is just Zhou Yin.

The water droplets on the top of the cave slid down the stalagmites, and with a slight sound, it dripped on the stone below, but it seemed to be dripping on the tip of the heart.

All distracting thoughts vanish into nothingness.

He opened his eyes slowly.

Xuan Tong is complete, and all phenomena are unified.
