Chapter 273 Sword Sect
The fruit, as beautiful as white jade, emitted a soft glow under the sunlight. It was obvious at first glance that it was no ordinary thing, and it was meant for Li Changxiao.
It seemed like someone had left it for him on purpose.
Li Changxiao reached out to fish it out, held the white fruit in his palm, looked at it carefully, and felt the charm of longevity coming from it. He then roughly understood what the effect of this thing was.
If nothing unexpected happens, this thing is the fruit of longevity. The effect is probably even stronger than that of pollen. It is estimated that it can increase lifespan by 200 years. It has a great origin.
If this thing was available in the past, it would at least increase one's lifespan by 3,000 years, and in addition to increasing one's lifespan, it also has some other benefits, such as tempering the body, purifying spiritual energy, and understanding the mind of Tao... and so on. After all, before the spiritual energy is exhausted, longevity is very easy to obtain. With the remaining essence of this spiritual fruit now, the grade is extremely high, and it is definitely a rare thing in the world. It is impossible that it just increases one's lifespan.
Li Changxiao put it into the dream space and placed it together with the pollen and the fruit of the Kalanchoe.
He has accumulated quite a few treasures that can prolong one's life.
After entering Lingtian Continent, I indeed noticed something strange. The Chitian Dynasty had changed a lot and became much more prosperous. Even in some remote towns, pagodas and attics could be seen.
The Chi Tian Dynasty was a country that promoted military power, with abundant martial virtues and numerous gangs. Li Changxiao went to a not-so-big town and encountered several gangs. The leader of one of the gangs relied on the fact that he had learned martial arts when he was young and had opened several mysterious acupoints, making him stronger than others, and he began to act tyrannically.
There are also many martial arts gyms on the roadside. Most of the martial artists in those gyms have opened several mysterious acupoints. They are stronger than ordinary people, but their lifespans are not much longer because they have opened too few mysterious acupoints. If they really want to live longer, they can only go to those famous big sects.
The overall environment is much better today than it was hundreds of years ago.
But there are always dark places. One time, Li Changxiao fell asleep on the side of the street. It happened that Yu Luosha was digesting the martial arts of the world at that time and did not pay attention to the outside world.
When he woke up, he found himself picked up by a gang called the Evil Tiger Gang and taken to a dark basement, where he was locked in an iron cage. There were many boys and girls around him, crying and looking miserable.
Li Changxiao woke up slowly and comforted them, saying that good things will come to those who are lucky, and everything will be fine.
Those boys and girls ignored him and kept crying, which annoyed the members of the Evil Tiger Gang. They came over and knocked on the iron cage, roared fiercely for a few times, and then gradually stopped crying. Li Changxiao was bored and found that there was still a little wine left in the wine gourd, so he drank it all in one gulp and continued to sleep.
Later, he learned that the Evil Tiger Gang saw that he was handsome and planned to buy him to a female leader of the Black Wind Pass in exchange for a few kung fu skills or some information.
However, they did not succeed. On the way of transporting the boys and girls to Heifengsai, they inexplicably fell to their deaths one by one. Li Changxiao had a good sleep, rubbed his eyes, opened the iron cage by himself and walked out.
It was by accident that he walked into the Black Wind Pass and met the female boss, a dark-skinned woman with a strong physique. The Black Wind Pass was notorious for causing trouble in the surrounding area. The Evil Tiger Faction bullied the people and were birds of a feather.
When Li Changxiao saw the female boss, he was so angry that he went out and kicked the leader of the Evil Tiger Gang who had just accidentally fallen to death.
This guy is so vicious.
Afterwards, he went to Black Wind Village and reasoned with the bandits, telling them that this was immoral and that they should remember to be good people in their next life.
The female leader of the Black Wind Village waved her hand and removed her left hand, revealing a sharp steel knife. She frowned again, and the steel knife bounced out and hit Li Changxiao's neck directly. The huge force sent his whole body flying and pinned him to a huge rock.
It turned out that the people of Black Wind Village followed the path of self-sacrifice - Zuo Daoshou, who transformed her body to gain powerful strength. Her flying knife skills had killed a famous female knight in the martial arts world by surprise. That woman was just like Li Changxiao. She went up the mountain to reason with her, but was killed before she could finish her words.
This is the battle record that Black Wind Village is most proud of. The skull of the famous female knight is still treasured by her. She plays with it every day and it has become plump and round.
"Take off this fellow's skull."
The matriarch said.
But Li Changxiao's neck was pierced, but he was fine and was still drinking. It would be useless to reason with him, so just kill him. He is not a good guy anyway.
Not even a stick of incense.
On that mountain path, there was only one person walking leisurely.
……
We came to a big city, where some kind of sacrificial ceremony was being held recently, as if to pray for rain. This big city had been suffering from drought for years, and the people had no harvest. The food stored in the warehouses had been used up, and if there was no rain for farming, drought would come.
The sacrificial ceremony was performed by a boy. After the ceremony, heavy rain began to fall from the sky. Sweet dew fell from the sky and the people cheered.
Li Changxiao came into contact with another way to prolong life... the way of sacrifice.
After learning more about it, it was discovered that the boy in charge of the sacrificial ceremony was the "Rain Master" chosen by heaven, who was specifically responsible for praying for rain and following the will of heaven. He was respected by the people and could live to be over 200 years old.
It is very difficult to be a rain master. First of all, they need to have the image of a rain master in their horoscope and gain the recognition of the gods in all large and small temples within a hundred miles. Only then will the sacrifices held be effective. Before each sacrifice, the rain master needs to visit all large and small temples to coordinate their efforts. After the heavy rain falls, those temples can also be bathed in the rain and gain considerable benefits.
Li Changxiao was very curious about this, so he bought a pot of wine and ran to invite the sacrificial boy to drink and chat with him. The boy glanced at him and said that he didn't drink, but he was okay with chatting, so the two of them talked about the current situation.
Li Changxiao's understanding of the Rain Master deepened. It turned out that the Rain Master had different jurisdictions. There could only be one Rain Master within a certain range. Moreover, sacrifices could not be held frequently. They could only be held once every three years. More than that would not be good. The Rain Master was respected and had a high status. People vied with each other to send him chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep. However, the Rain Master needed to be pure in mind and desire, and abstain from meat and dry food.
We met by chance, chatted for a while and drank a few drinks, then went our separate ways.
Lingtianzhou is indeed much smaller.
It only took Li Changxiao more than two months to walk across nearly half of the Chitian Dynasty. Along the way, he also visited the famous sect of the Chitian Dynasty: the Sword Sect.
Like the Dayan Hua Sect, the Jian Sect is also a large sect that protects an area. Unlike the Evil Tiger Sect and the small Karami in the Black Wind Pass, the Jian Sect is truly extremely famous.
It is rumored that this sect was founded by a woman. At that time, this woman used her sword to suppress all the wanderers in the world and created countless myths. After founding the Sword Sect, she gave up her position as the sect leader and traveled around Lingtian Continent on foot. She can be said to be a heroine.
The sect has developed to the point where its disciples can even control swords and fly short distances.
The Sword Sect has a trial site: Pingtian Road.
It is in a remote mountain valley.
What a coincidence.
Today is the day of the Sword Sect's trial. The Sword Sect's disciples, dressed in white and with long swords hanging from their waists, marched towards the trial site in a mighty procession.
Li Changxiao felt a little melancholy, and unknowingly followed the Sword Sect disciples.
