Celestial Master Cultivation Diary

Chapter 237. 236. Letter from Master Zhen

"The ancient demon is an ancient person..."

The two of Li Zhe were in shock for a long time, and after a while, they still couldn't accept it.

"The ancient demon... Could it be that people can live for so long?"

"People can't, but inheritance can." Knowing what he wanted to ask, the Lord of Lingshan explained slowly: "The inheritance of the ancient monsters has never been broken. They are the co-lords of the demon domain, and they are in charge of everything in the true sense."

Hearing this, Li Zhe immediately remembered what Jinghua once said: "Like the sky?"

The Lord of Lingshan was slightly taken aback, and nodded: "There is a saying that they control wind, rain, thunder and lightning, and control spring, summer, autumn and winter... It is said that there is no winter and summer in the Demon Realm, only spring and autumn."

"why?"

"The weather in winter and summer is uncomfortable. In ancient times, when it was hot and cold, many people would die. So they don't want winter and summer, but spring and autumn."

Isn't the four seasons very boring, without ice, snow and air conditioning...

Li Zhe sat in his seat and thought carefully, and couldn't help asking: "Have you seen Yaoyu?"

"No."

"Then how can you be so sure?"

"I haven't seen it, but someone has." The Lord of Lingshan didn't rush: "The last time the ancient demon appeared in the world was 100 years ago. At that time, a celestial master saw them with his own eyes. Baiyu... The authenticity of this rumor has been debated for a whole hundred years, and now you have seen it, almost exactly the same.

All the undecided things will one day give the answer. "

"Then why did they come out...to inspect?"

"I don't know." The Lord of Lingshan shrugged and speculated casually: "Maybe he wants to see what we do."

"What are we doing?"

"Tianshi, after all, in a sense, we should be their successors."

Just as the Lord of Lingshan was about to continue speaking, a six-eyed crow flew in, shook off a feather, and flew away again.

He picked it up and looked at it twice, his expression was covered by the mask.

After a pause, he continued: "When these witches were expelled, people gradually discovered their importance—there are still evil spirits haunting the world, but no one can resist them anymore, and no one can call for wind and rain any more. ...Of course, it is possible now, technology has replaced or even surpassed demon power, but in that barbaric era, it was nothing short of whimsical."

Li Zhe listened without saying a word, and Lin Youyou who was beside him never interrupted from the beginning to the end, as he was listening to the scriptures.

"So, slowly, some people began to call for witches to be created again. After all, spiritual power comes from all things in the world. Although those witches have left, all living creatures are still there-the so-called 'living beings', we are the source of spiritual power, which is endless. , live forever."

"However, in the field of 'spiritual power', except for witches, almost no one has set foot in the world, and no one is familiar with it. What's more, many people are unwilling to admit their mistakes, so the witch-making matter can only be let go in the end."

Li Zhe asked doubtfully, "Teacher that day?..."

"Collecting the power of one domain to create a master of heaven, these are all things for later. Due to being too scattered and secretive, we haven't been able to fully understand the secrets of spiritual veins and inheritance until now. This..."

In the middle of speaking, there were a few tremors outside the house suddenly. The Lord of Lingshan changed his eyes, looked at the white mask, looked at Li Zhe and Li Zhe, stood up after hesitating, and said: "Some emergencies, let's go back as soon as we go." .”

"Do you want us to help?"

The Lord of Lingshan pondered for a few seconds: "No need."

After saying that, he took out an hourglass from the bookcase and turned it upside down on the table: "If you haven't returned home late, and you two have something to do, you can leave first and leave us alone."

Seeing them going out in a hurry, Li Zhe looked around and looked around, then got up and paced in front of the bookshelves.

As a person who loves to read books, these ancient books of unknown authenticity aroused his interest, but at the moment he was thinking about other things.

I don't know why, although he can't see each other's expressions through the two masks, but he always has an illusion——

The master of the unfathomable spirit mountain seemed to be slightly wary of the two of them.

Could it be that he suffered a great loss due to the chaos caused by those demon masters last time, so now he has to subconsciously be more wary of anyone?

Lin Youyou sat in the back, but didn't think too much.

At this moment, there were only the two of them left in the room, which made her relax a lot. She lay down on the table and asked casually, "Brother Li, do you believe what he just said?"

"Which?"

"Just the legends."

Li Zhe paused and thought for a while: "The so-called legends are just people's rhetoric, and the so-called history is just people's writing."

"So you don't believe it?"

Li Zhe shrugged and didn't explain much.

What he is more curious about now is what happened outside the courtyard.

Hearing the movement, it seemed that another monster was attacking, because in addition to the trembling sound just now, he also heard some beast roars, full of vicious intent.

There is also the real intention of the Lord of Lingshan to find them this time.

The letter said that they were invited to come over for a discussion, but after talking for so long, he didn't feel that this person wanted to discuss something with them. Instead, he seemed to be popularizing science, popularizing a mythical story that he didn't know the truth of.

It's also possible that these are just foreshadowing, so as to save them from asking questions when they really discuss things.

Then, before they had time to enter the discussion session, an accident occurred.

But even if what he said is true, then Li Zhe really doesn't know what to discuss about this matter——

After all, when those ancient demon companies were expelled, they didn't do anything out of the ordinary. They just moved their clan silently and went to the demon domain.

It's impossible to make a comeback some years later, right?
Having said that, he still feels somewhat unreliable about the matter of "the strong being expelled by the weak".

Although the Lord of Lingshan also gave his explanation, saying that the two sides are not at the same level, giant elephants will not be serious with ants, and that the guardians don't need to destroy the things they once guarded.

This reminded Li Zhe of a short animated film he had seen called "The Stone Man Who Tried His Best".

The content is very simple, that is, a stone man was helping a small country to resist the boulder rolling down the hillside, but was stabbed in the back by the small country.

He let the stone crush the mini castle to pieces, patted his ass and left.

In comparison, these witches are simply too great, as great as Kong Rong who gave away pears to his brother before he ate them.

In comparison, Li Zhe was more inclined to his own inner guess - if the spiritual power controlled by those witches was exactly the same as that of a celestial master, then they might indeed choose to swallow their anger on this matter.

Because every ordinary person whose spiritual veins have not been opened is the source of spiritual power in the world.

Without these people, they are nothing.

In this way, the two domains may have always been connected, but no one has found the entrance to the demon domain until now.

Only.

Turning around and leaning casually on the bookshelf, Li Zhe began to talk about his conjecture, but Lin Youyou lacked interest.

The attraction of these things to her may not be as meaningful as what she eats at night.

The two stared at the hourglass, silently watching the time go by, when suddenly there was a strange sound behind them, Li Zhe quickly turned around and opened the distance, protecting Lin Youyou behind him.

Then I found out that there was only a hidden compartment on the bookcase.

Roughly comparing the distance, the position of this dark space seems to be the place where my head was leaning on just now, and it may be that I accidentally touched some switch.

With curiosity, Li Zhe took two steps closer and glanced cautiously.

Fortunately, it's just an ordinary secret compartment, without the gaudy and deadly traps in film and television dramas.

The hidden compartment is not big, and there is nothing in it, only a few pieces of letter paper. Li Zhe didn't want to look at this kind of things that involve other people's privacy, but it was just that casual glance that made him see a very familiar person. surname.

Zhen.

There are many people with the surname Zhen in this world, but there should be few who can communicate with Tianshi. What's more, as a person who has read Zhen Tianshi's notes countless times, Li Zhe is too familiar with this handwriting.

Looking around for a while, Li, who was dominated by curiosity, reached out his hand secretly, took out a letter a little stiffly, and quickly glanced at it twice.

"Hey, Xiaoyou, the Lord of Lingshan may still belong to your family."

"how do you know?"

Li Zhe raised the envelope he had just found, and there were four large characters written on it - "From Brother Lin".

"Brother Lin, I think the direction you said is very reasonable. I will discuss it later after I do some research..."

"Brother Lin, the spiritual vein is indeed the key to everything..."

"Brother Lin, I think you are right. Today is different from the past. The Patronus can be completely banned..."

"Brother Lin, you are a great talent, the inheritance of celestial masters may not be random...it must have its own rules, at least, this force will not leave its own realm no matter what..."

"Brother Lin, I may know the secret of inheritance, maybe in the future we can find successors by ourselves..."

"..."

Halfway through, there was a commotion outside the house again, which startled Li Zhe, who was immersed in his thoughts, and hurriedly put the letter back, looking around nervously.

Fortunately, no one found out.

Hesitating whether to read through the rest of the letterhead, when Li Zhe turned his head, he found that the hourglass on the table had stopped at some point.

"Has it been a long time?"

"Yeah, it's been stopping for a long time."

Lin Youyou lay on the table, covered her mouth and yawned, her eyes were moist and a little sleepy.

"Then let's go back?"

"Go back, it feels like they will take a long time."

Listening to the constant movement outside, even Lin Youyou could feel it, the two of them might not be able to come back for a while.

"Let's go then."

Holding her little hand, Li Zhe walked in front with an umbrella, and returned the same way: "Tianshi Zhen and Tianshi Lin seem to be very familiar."

"Master Lin?"

"Lord of Lingshan, I see that in the letter Zhen Tianshi wrote to him, he is addressed as Brother Lin, so there should be no mistake."

Lin Youyou was stunned: "So this place is actually called Linshan, right?..."

"..."

Listening to her words, Li Zhe couldn't laugh or cry: "Why don't you call this place a mountain forest?"

……

After leaving the house, the trembling feeling became more obvious. The wooden corridor creaked and swayed faintly. Li Zhe looked in the direction of the beast's roar and saw only the empty courtyard.

Compared with the lively gathering last time, the courtyard is empty now, and it looks very deserted, even a little depressed.

Apart from Tianshi Lin, is there no one else in this domain?

Such a question popped up in his mind, but unfortunately, no one could answer him. Lin Youyou was spinning a paper umbrella at the side, planning to order a similar model online when he went back.

Holding a beautiful umbrella on a rainy day will make people feel much happier, unlike the gray weather like this.

Back home, the ignorant little golden retriever watched them walk out of the wall, dumbfounded.

Before the hair is fully grown, it is already beginning to doubt the birth of a dog.

Even taking advantage of the two of them not paying attention, he secretly stomped against the wall twice, almost making a big bump on his head, and finally barked twice, wandered around for a long time and returned to his dog's crate to lie on his stomach again.

Lin Youyou tidied up and began to search for paper umbrellas on the Internet, while Li Zhe was holding a notebook, recalling the letterhead he saw just now, writing and drawing on the paper.

He originally thought that Tianshi Zhen was a fanatical genius in the spirit world, who spent his days studying these mysterious things.

But judging from his personal letters, it seems that the Lord of Lingshan is more fanatical and understands more than him.

It can be said that many of Zhen Tianshi's researches may have been initiated based on the inspiration of the Lord of Lingshan.

The two have their own strengths, one is better at guessing, and the other is better at research.

Could it be that he suddenly told the two of them that there are so many and nothing left because he found out that they are the inheritors of Tianshi Zhen?
Zhen Tianshi said that he could find a successor by himself, but Li Zhe felt that he had either not implemented it yet, or implemented it but failed——

After all, he and Lin Youyou had never known each other before, and Lin Youyou had never even been to Jinghai before, so it was impossible to confirm her as his successor out of thin air.

So the day he passed away, what exactly was he going to do?
Frowning, Li Zhe always felt that he had missed some important link. After thinking for a long time, he thought of those great demon masters again.

The secret of the inheritance of the celestial masters, even as celestial masters, they have to slowly explore, so how do these great demon masters know?
It's impossible... Zhen Tianshi deliberately found these few people, and then went to die on purpose...

His body trembled twice, and Li Zhe dismissed the idea instantly. Although that Heavenly Master Zhen was a bit abnormal, he shouldn't be so crazy.

And it was obvious that Zhen Tianshi had resisted before he died, but he was beaten with two fists and beaten by them.

In addition, this pioneer of the times banned his patron saint early.

It's like when playing chess, giving up to the two opponents at the beginning.

Unable to figure it out for a while, Li Zhe turned the nib of the pen, scribbled figures on the paper, and then blacked them out. After thinking for a long time, he was still puzzled.

Outside the window, it was ticking, and it was still raining lightly. Some people were wearing raincoats, and some were riding bicycles with umbrellas. There was a long queue of cars on the road, and the windshield wipers kept swaying.

The same rain, falling in the peach blossom garden, still has a bit of misty rain and picturesque.

But in this non-stop city, it seems that there are only commuting and travel troubles left.
