Niu Youdao and Yuan Gang had just met and had a lot to talk about, so they strolled to the back of the group.
In front, Shang Chaozong accidentally heard Shang Shuqing muttering the words "planes and tanks". He looked back at the two people following far behind and couldn't help but laugh, "He doesn't want to say, Qing 'er is still thinking about it? Then why didn't you get to the bottom of it before? "
Shang Shuqing's expression and reaction under the gauze hat couldn't be seen clearly, "He doesn't want to say, but I feel that Niu Youdao is not someone who speaks nonsense casually. The words that slipped out casually, gave me a strange feeling. That kind of unintentional words didn't seem to be a slip of the tongue, it was more like there was something that he didn't want to hide from us, and that Yuan Gang also looked at us with disdain."
Shang Chaozong said suspiciously, "Qing 'er, your words are contradictory, why do I sound a little confused?"
Shang Shuqing: "I also can't explain it clearly, it feels like his mentality is disdainful towards us, so he just said it casually, you guys won't understand the feeling anyway, to a certain extent, it seems like he has a psychological advantage when facing us."
Shang Chaozong snorted, "Maybe he feels that he is a mage, and we are just ordinary people in his eyes."
"Maybe!" Shang Shuqing pondered for a moment, then turned back and asked, "Mr. Lan, what do you think he meant when he promised to go to the village with us, but suddenly refused?"
Lan Ruoting: "Maybe it's a kind of protection for the villagers, maybe this Yuan Gang really doesn't want us to come in contact with the villagers."
Shang Chaozong: "Since we know the place, wouldn't it be easy to get in touch with them later?"
Lan Ruoting: "Didn't Prince see it just now? If there really is a village in the mountains, this village is obviously not simple. From the whistle, you can tell that this village has strict self-protection measures. I'm afraid that once outsiders come close, the villagers will be on guard. Maybe it's really like what they said, that they are afraid of being robbed by the soldiers. "
The group left the small path and continued to gallop on the official road.
On the other hand, Niu Youdao and Yuan Gang rode side by side at the back, talking about their respective situations over the years. Goodbye happy, it didn't matter if he ate the dust at the back of the team.
Niu Youdao had nothing to hide from Yuan Gang. He told him everything from the moment he woke up in the run-down temple and met Dongguo Haoran until he left the mountain. He did not even hide the fact that he found the Art of Heaven and Earth in the bronze mirror.
Yuan Gang did not expect Niu Youdao to be under house arrest for five years. "Daoye, according to what you said, the Shangqing Sect wants to harm you?"
Niu Youdao sighed. "Most likely. From all the signs and Tuján's reminder, they probably want me to die as soon as possible. I don't know how I offended them, but I'm harmless to them. Why would they want to make things difficult for me? I still can't figure it out."
Yuan Gang said, "When we were in the Shangqing Sect, they were easy targets. Why did they wait until now?"
Niu Youdao said, "I also don't understand."
Yuan Gang said, "How is Daoye going to solve this?"
Niu Youdao said, "It seems that it's not safe to follow the group of people in front. Let's wait until we pass Nanshan Temple. When the Shangqing Sect thinks that I'm dead, we'll immediately get rid of them and leave. After that, the world is big, and with our abilities, we can go everywhere."
After discussing this matter, in order to let Yuan Gang's thinking go beyond the mountain village and have a better understanding of the world so that he could better protect himself, he began to tell Yuan Gang everything he knew about the cultivation world. Unfortunately, the books about the cultivation world written by the Shangqing Sect were not allowed to be brought out. Otherwise, he could save a lot of effort. Yuan Gang had been in the "archeological world" for so many years, so it was not a problem for him to read Xiaozhuan.
Yuan Gang, who was listening and thinking along the way, suddenly said, "It's really hard for me to understand that people in the cultivation world get involved in the secular world and even get involved in the hegemony of various countries."
Niu Youdao said with a smile, "What's hard to understand? Only ignorance will find it hard to understand. Ignorant things don't mean that they don't exist. Have you read the Investiture of the Gods? In the war between the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, many cultivators were involved, such as Jiang Ziya, Nezha, Yang Jian, and so on. It's similar to the situation in the world we're in now. You can think of it as if we've entered the world in the Investiture of the Gods. "
Yuan Gang was a little speechless. He frowned and said, "Daoye, according to what you said, are there really immortals who can fly around in this world?"
Niu Youdao, who was holding the reins and galloping, smiled again and said, "The so-called immortals depends on how you understand it. If it's just the ability to fly around, there should be some. It's just that there are not many people in this world who have reached that level of cultivation. If they really have that level of cultivation, they should already be standing at the top of the food chain. There should be a lot of people below them who are sending benefits to them. It's not easy for them to show up for ordinary things. "
"Can they really fly around?" Yuan Gang shook his head. Although it was said by someone he trusted, he still didn't believe it. He said, "It's not scientific!"
Niu Youdao spread out his hands and said, "It's very scientific. It's just that you haven't come into contact with the core meaning of it, so you can't understand it."
Yuan Gang was surprised. "Science? Where's the science? "
Niu Youdao thought for a while and thought about how to explain it to him. After straightening out his thoughts, he said, "Before we came here, I was like you. I didn't believe in immortals either. However, after five years of cultivation in the Shangqing Sect, I roughly understood the profound meaning behind it. Look! "
He gestured for Yuan Gang to look at it. He turned his palm and pushed it out. Immediately, he saw a ball of dust from the galloping horses in front of him spinning like a cyclone in his palm. After he waved it away, he asked, "What do you think I was doing just now?"
Yuan Gang said, "This is the effect of the internal force produced by the Qigong you practice, Daoye." He had seen similar situations with Niu Youdao before.
Niu Youdao nodded. "It's Qigong, yes. But after I use it, where does the force come from? Can you explain?"
Yuan Gang was silent. He really didn't think about this deeply. He only knew that it was Qigong, so he shook his head to show that he didn't know.
Niu Youdao said, "When I was practicing Qigong in my early years, when my body and mind were open, I could feel that my body absorbed something from the dark. According to Taoism, it is called the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth. I have always been like this, but I can only vaguely understand it. After coming here and comparing, I think I have a general understanding of what this so-called Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth is. "
Even though Yuan Gang was calm, he still couldn't help but ask curiously, "What is it?"
Niu Youdao said, "If I explain it in a more scientific way, you should know. Dark matter. Have you heard of dark matter?"
Yuan Gang's eyes flashed with surprise. "You mean the kind of matter that is smaller than electrons and photons, can't be observed directly, and scientists try their best to capture it?"
Niu Youdao nodded. "That's right. After comparing it and carefully thinking about it, the so-called Spiritual Qi should be dark matter. In the past, there was a so-called superstition. You should be familiar with ghosts. It seems to exist, but it also seems not to exist. But in the Shangqing Sect, I confirmed the existence of ghosts here from some ancient books. I think the so-called ghosts are actually formed by dark matter that can't be seen by the naked eye. After people die, their thoughts and thinking can be preserved, and with the help of dark matter as a medium, they form the so-called ghosts. This principle is actually the same as the physical bodies that you and I have now. The difference between us and ghosts should be the difference in the medium through which we operate our thoughts. The universe is vast, and diversity coexists. There are too many things that humans don't understand, but it doesn't mean that they don't exist. There is a process of contact and understanding. "
"…" Yuan Gang looked at him, a little speechless.
"Don't look at me like that. There's nothing to be surprised about. If I'm not wrong, the so-called level of internal force and magic power is actually a result of the power of dark energy released by controlling dark matter." Niu Youdao smiled slightly, waved his sleeve to block a large cloud of smoke, and continued, "After I cultivated here, I found that the Spiritual Qi in this world, which is what you can understand as dark matter, is far more abundant than where we used to be. I've tested it repeatedly, and the speed of cultivation here is far faster than where we used to be. According to some ancient books, there wasn't so much Spiritual Qi in the past, and naturally, there weren't so many cultivators. Later, it was said that the Founding Emperor of Wu, Shang Song, poked a hole in the sky, so there was a continuous flow of Spiritual Qi into this world. I don't know the specifics. By the way, you're still practicing the Body Hardening Skill, right? "
Yuan Gang nodded, "I've been practicing since I recovered. I have to have some ability to defend myself."
Niu Youdao had a playful look on his face, "The real Body Hardening Skill is actually combined with a kind of breathing technique. It also needs to absorb Spiritual Qi, which is what you can understand as dark matter. If I'm not wrong, your progress in practicing the Body Hardening Skill must be much faster than before."
Yuan Gang was silent. That's right, Daoye had guessed it right. He couldn't figure out what was going on before, but now that Daoye explained it in simple terms, he seemed to understand a little.
Niu Youdao chuckled, "The Qiankun Tactics I'm practicing is not bad. Later, I'll help you check your body to see if your current physique is suitable for practicing. If it is, you can practice it too."
Yuan Gang shook his head, "I'm not interested in that kind of thing. If I have that time, I'd rather do something meaningful."
Niu Youdao said, "Don't be silly. This world is not the same as before. Isn't it better to have a stronger ability to protect yourself? It's better to prolong your life and delay aging. "
Yuan Gang still shook his head, "What's the point of living a long life if you spend a lot of time meditating? Life is about movement! "
"Monkey, you …"
"Daoye, don't try to persuade me. I'm not as obsessed as you are. I'm really not interested in those mysterious things. You should know my attitude towards life."
"Fine, I'm too lazy to say anymore." Niu Youde sighed, then pointed at him and said, "But don't give up on your Body Hardening Skill. I guess the Body Hardening Skill you're practicing is not ordinary. Some clues can be seen from some Taoist legends in the past. The amount of Spiritual Qi there used to be quite good, but for some reason, the Spiritual Qi there became extremely thin. With the passage of time, any cultivation method with a poor sensing and absorption ability would have been eliminated. When it came to our time, the cultivation methods that still had an effect should not be simple. Here, we might be able to achieve a completely different effect. Even if I don't say it, you should be able to feel it. "
Yuan Gang nodded and asked after a moment of silence, "Daoye, what are your plans for the future?"
Niu Youdao looked around and laughed heartily, "Since I'm already here, I'll make the best of it. I'll give this world two words!"
"Two words?" Yuan Gang did not understand and asked in confusion, "Which two words?"
"Hello!"
Niu Youdao raised his eyebrows and said. He raised his whip and rode away quickly.
