Chapter 4 The Ninefold Ladder

"What's the uncle's name?"

"Yu Baiqiu." He made a simple gesture.

"So, there are hundreds of thousands of people, hatred and hatred. It's not a good name, but the master of Jie Tiandao said that this name is too hard, otherwise I can't live, and my parents happily gave me this name."

"Don't say it, sometimes I believe it. After all, many of my peers were broken at that time, and I survived."

"What is the Dao of Heaven?" the girl asked curiously.

"This is one of the ways to practice ascending to the sky. It has been handed down from ancient times to the present, and it is feasible. There are nine avenues, namely Qianlong, Killing Soldiers, Jietian, Jiuyou, Xuanshui, Huayu, Demon Heart, Hundred Flowers, Yuan Yi."

"After training, you can climb the nine-layered ladder and achieve a fairy fruit, and you can live long and see forever."

"My cultivation is to kill soldiers together. Although it is easy to get started, it is difficult to improve, and the higher the demand for talents, the higher the demand for talent. In addition, this avenue is mostly the technique of battle formation, that is, leading troops to fight, usually in the army. more common.”

Hearing what Yu Baiqiu said, another image flashed in the girl's mind. It was an extremely magnificent picture scroll. On the undulating wilderness, there were boundless white flags advancing like waves. Under the flag, It is a mighty army that is dressed in uniform armor, disciplined and tidy, marching in line.

"What about the Heavenly Dao?"

"Jietian is good at watching celestial phenomena at night, divination and calculation, setting up organs, Qimen Dunjia, Qiqiao creations, etc. It is said that it was passed down by the yellow bird, one of the five virtues."

The girl was still not satisfied, and continued to ask about the next few avenues.

"Hua Yu and Demon Heart, these two are the lines of Taoism left by Fei Xian and Tian Demon outside the territory."

"Jiuyou is said to be the ghost messenger from Dongdu."

"Xuanshui is one of the five virtues, and the white bird is the direct line. Baihua is also one of the five virtues, and the blue bird is the direct line."

"Yuanyi existed in the ancient times, and it was also the beginning of the Great Way."

"And Qianlong and Killing Bing are the two major orthodoxy in the world, complementing each other and suppressing the world."

Listening to the uncle's story, the young girl couldn't help but think about it. If only she could know one of them, it would be the dream of everyone.

"Hahaha, if Miss Luo Lanxi wants to learn, she can go to apprentice. Now that the major sects have opened their doors and recruited disciples to deal with the catastrophe, it is much easier to get started than before."

"What's the big catastrophe?" The girl tilted her head curiously.

"This started several years ago... At that time, the sun and the moon were in the same sky, and they fought against each other, and the heavens were in chaos. After that, although the moon was broken and the sunset was set, the earth, fire and feng shui were reset. , they were all knocked down and started all over again.”

"I don't want to think that the way of heaven has changed, the old law can't work, we can only create a new law, and many exiled immortals are also on the way to re-enter the ladder because of the approaching of their life span."

"Nowadays, all the major sects and families in the world have to start all over again. Fortunately, some of the major sects have a profound background. Among the many disciples, as long as one or two are so powerful, there will always be some, and they can be taken out to support the facade and ease. come over."

"But compared to the past, today is a world of great competition. Everything has not come to the dust, so each family is still trying to recruit talents." Speaking of this, the strong man is also full of ambition, lamenting this great opportunity, The era of heroes.

"Is Uncle Yu also from a certain sect?"

"Yes, I came from Tuoshitang Middle School in Nanfengzhou." Then, without waiting for the girl to ask, Yu Baiqiu talked about Tuoshitang in general.

Tuo Shi Tang originated from the Caobang along the river and the coast, that is, the dockmen and boatmen. Due to the developed river transportation and many water systems in the Plantagenet Dynasty, many people made a living. But in this era, the security is not necessarily good, and sometimes you have to run around and go to various places, so in order to protect themselves, these people and boatmen gradually united to form an organization, which was later the predecessor of Tuo Shi Tang.

Then with the large number of people and gradual development, generations of people perfected their skills, which can be regarded as forming a famous faction. In the past, although there were not many top masters, but because of the wide range of schools, there were all nine classes, so some big factions would not easily provoke them.

In the Tuo Shi Hall, there are many people who practice killing soldiers and Xuanshui. Among them, the skills are mostly based on these two veins. Weapons are mostly long poles and long knives (boat poles, oars).

Because its many gates expand with the river system, it is also famous outside. It is the kind of faction that is not very powerful, but it is very difficult to deal with people because of its large number of people.

To worship in the Tuo Lion Hall, of course, you must first pass several tests. First, you must be people who do this, such as dockmen, boatmen, and fishermen. They will lead them through the door, let them learn the arts, set their seniority and the like.

"So, I am afraid that it is not suitable for Miss Luo. Your words are more suitable for sects with more girls like 'Qingluyuan', 'Dieyi Valley' or 'Nine Colors Square'."

"Of course, this is just what I said casually. If Miss Luo can restore her memory, it will be better to go back to her family directly. The resources will be more abundant, and there will be special people to teach skills and so on."

"After joining the sect, can you still leave?" The girl suddenly thought of this question.

"It depends on what kind of faction it is. Most of them are okay, but there are some restrictions, such as not being able to spread skills, not causing trouble for the faction, etc."

"In fact, most factions are a group of people who do the same work, get together

A place to assist each other in imparting learning skills. "

"For example, as I said just now, most of the "Qingluyuan" are physicians, and the "Dieyi Valley" cultivates most of the music and dance talents. There are many people in the "Nine Colors" who spin and dye cloth."

"Hey, do you have to work on the Dao?" The girl felt a little strange.

"Of course, life is practice. If you find someone deep in the mountain, you haven't come out for decades, and then one day you suddenly say that you have enlightened, you are probably in a daze."

"Just thinking is not enough. There are always some deviated elements. The less you do, the more deviant you are. You have to actually do it before you can understand the true meaning."

"What uncle said is so philosophical." The girl blinked, feeling as if she had heard it somewhere.

"Haha, actually this is not what I said, I also listened to an old gentleman in the hall." Yu Baiqiu laughed.

"Anyway, everyone has their own opinions. I'm talking about those who have joined the world, and there are those who are born out of the world. They pay attention to less causation, calmness, and concentration."

"Over the years, both factions have had experts who have climbed the ninth-level ladder to achieve immortal fruit. It's up to you to choose."

"Me... It seems to be fine, but sometimes I prefer a quieter life." The girl looked at the palm of her hand and wondered if she should go out first.

In any case, it is always good to learn to protect yourself first, after all, not every time someone will come to save you. And she also wanted to know her own background. If you can practice one of them, you should be able to gradually restore your memory as you advance.

The girl thought so, and after a long time, she patted her dress and stood up.

"Can Uncle Yu take me down the mountain?"
