Great Sui Storyteller

Chapter 73
After leaving Qianfu Mountain and walking about two or three miles away, Li Zhen woke up Shang Nian.

Shang Nian rubbed his face in a daze, looking at Li Zhen with confused eyes.

Li Zhen didn't speak, just pointed to the front.

Looking in the direction he pointed, Shang Nian shuddered suddenly and straightened up quickly.

Right at the front of the team, there was already a group of cavalry riding on white horses that satisfies obsessive-compulsive disorder. From a distance, there seemed to be about a hundred people, lined up on both sides of the road, looking at this group.

"Businessman Shang, that's..."

"It's a brother from the Pegasus Sect who came to meet us."

As he said that, he also knew that Li Zhen didn't understand these things, so he continued to whisper:

"Master Dao, have you seen that their horse coats are all the same color?"

"Ah."

"Body length, height, snow-white fur, and four hooves like ink. This kind of horse is called Moyun Treading Snow. It can travel thousands of miles a day, and every horse on the market is worth a thousand gold!"

"...1000 taels of gold?"

Li Zhen was a little surprised.

But Shang Nian was stunned for a moment... There was a look of "Daoist, you are real" in his eyes, he shook his head and explained:

"It's just a description. The market price...about 3000 taels of silver per horse..."

"..."

The ratio of gold to silver in the Sui Dynasty was about 1:10, that is, one tael of gold could be exchanged for ten taels of silver, and one tael of silver could be exchanged for a consistent copper coin.

That is one thousand words.

Of course, it also depends on what kind of silver it is. The exchange ratio of local castings fluctuates, and the best silver is the kind of official silver given by Master Huqiu. One tael can be exchanged for about one thousand to one thousand in the market. Two money.

And I heard that this horse is worth 300 taels of gold...

Li Zhen shook his head.

Don't know what to say.

Shang Nian continued:

"Daoist, in our Pegasus City, you just need to remember the horses of the three colors. The Pegasus Sect is white, the Thunder Tiger Gate is ink, and the Scarlet Blood Valley is red..."

"Then what is my horse?"

He pointed to the horse under his lap.

Shang Nian rolled his eyes:
"The horse under Dao Chang's crotch is called Hei. I'm talking about Mo!"

"Is there any difference?"

"The ink of our Leihumen can't be splashed by water, and the light shines on the gold. It stands still like a tiger and runs like thunder! It's very easy to distinguish. You will know it when you go to Pegasus City. The ordinary mounts are different from the horses ridden by these inner sect brothers. They are completely two concepts. What ordinary people ride is called a horse at best, but we can only be called mounts with three colors!"

Li Zhenxin said good guy, it sounds like a Transformer.

You should be called "Mo Yun Treading Snow"?

With a groan in his heart, he asked:
"Then according to what you mean, they are all inner disciples?"

"good."

"...If you want to enter the inner door, you need to leave the dust, right?"

"Exactly."

After receiving Shang Nian's explanation, Li Zhen nodded.

While speaking, the two groups at the front of the team had already made contact.

Li Zhen and Shang Nian were at the back, watching from a distance, and saw that when the door of Sun Bofu's carriage opened, all the knights on Mo Yun's snow horse got off their horses and saluted and shouted:
"See Young Sect Master!"

That's a neat one.

Li Zhen took a few glances and found that there was still a gap in the age of these people.

From youth in their 20s to people in their 30s.

In fact, Li Zhenyou and Shang Nian talked about the world's martial arts system last night.

When King Kongsou and Shang Nu were fighting, Li Zhen heard very clearly that the opponent called Shang Nu's kung fu, which was the same as the lion's roar, "Tiger Leopard Sound", and called the three-inch sword light on the opponent's sword "Thunder Blade" ", both moves are Leihumen's signature.Taking this opportunity, he roughly learned about the whole picture of cultivation in this world from Shang Nian.

It is actually very simple to say it.

There are two types of martial arts supernatural power systems in this world.

One is called martial arts.

And the other is called supernatural powers.

The so-called martial arts is the same as what Li Zhen's later generations understood. It is a move to strengthen the body and hone skills.

And supernatural powers can only be used by those who have reached the realm of leaving the world.

Not to mention Li Zhen's inexplicable detachment, nor to Zhiluan's natural cultivator.

Just to say that the process that a normal person needs to go through is: first learn martial arts, use martial arts to mobilize one's blood, hone the body, temper skills, practice luck, and accumulate internal strength.

Internal force is not Qi.

It is a weakened version of Qi.

It is formed by the stimulation of one's own blood energy.

And this kind of person may be a peerless master in some novels.But in this world, it is just an existence that is not popular.

The essential difference lies in the qi that exists between the heaven and the earth.

The human body has limits.No matter how one's own blood energy is stimulated, there is only so much.But the qi of this world is infinite.So-called cultivators, what do they mean by "leaving the dust", "freedom", "enlightenment", and "transcendence"?One of the most essential requirements is to use the qi of heaven and earth to fight, rather than purely relying on one's own internal strength.

No matter how high the martial arts are, the internal strength is deep, and there will be an exhaustion after all.

Therefore, fighting with the qi of heaven and earth is superior.

This is also the difference between a warrior and a practitioner.

Martial arts are just ordinary people, and when a person breaks through the barrier of life and death and absorbs the qi of heaven and earth into his body, he is no longer an ordinary person in this world.

This is the so-called dust.

For a cultivator, leaving the dust is only the lowest level.

During this period, cultivators have not completely escaped from the shackles of the human body, and the method used is still to absorb the qi of the heaven and the earth into the body, like building a reservoir to accumulate the qi little by little.

So strictly speaking, he is not completely detached from ordinary people.

And this is also the realm where the most practitioners stay.

Dust, that's it.

The supernatural powers available to practitioners in this period are still very superficial and crude.Everyone in martial arts is not without the power to fight against the people who are out of the world.

Because the latter has not completely escaped the shackles of the mortal world.

But the second state of "freedom" is different.

The qi of heaven and earth is as free as I am.

Practitioners in this period are no longer constrained by the clumsy way of accepting the energy of the heaven and the earth within themselves, but communicate with the heaven and the earth and transform the energy of the heaven and the earth into their true self.

One thought moves the world.

Be free and easy, follow my lead.

So far, this world is no longer bound.

And when he heard Shang Nian's description, Li Zhen thought of Lord Huqiu for some reason...

That kind of method where the cold qi of the world instantly turns into flames and burns up the snow without harming the grass and trees... Isn't it like the description of "freedom"?
And Shangnian's description of the free environment is only so much.

He doesn't even know how to get there.

As for what the next "enlightenment" and "transcendence" are, he doesn't know either.

He is still a disciple of the Thunder Tiger Sect who is working hard and is planning to break out at the age of 28.

When will the dust come out, and when can I enter the inner door.

30 years old is a hurdle.

If one does not become a practitioner before the age of 30, then there is basically no hope in this life.

As the saying goes, one stands at thirty, and this juncture is generally considered to be the most suitable time to hit the test of life and death.Because the mind has matured, it is possible to face the great horror of "life and death" objectively.

And if the pass is successful, one step into the world, and then bid farewell to the road of ordinary martial arts.

After entering the inner door, the treatment and so on will be much higher.

During the Zhengsifu period, when Li Zhen came back to his senses, the group of people had already got on their horses and divided into two teams, one team was at the front, and the other team rushed to the end of the team.
