fairy cage

Chapter 191
After a while of drinking and eating, the blood of the dinosaur's flesh and blood was really full. After eating, Yu Lie and Yu Fenggao were steaming all over their bodies.

Especially Yu Fenggao's pot of Dinosaur flesh and blood must have added some special spices and medicinal materials during the cooking process. After it entered the stomach, there was a special spiritual energy, which was different from pure Dinosaur flesh and blood. It is a kind of medicinal food.

If the two of them can take this kind of spiritual food regularly, it will definitely be of great benefit to their practice and speed up a lot.

In the aftertaste, it was a pity for Yu Lie for a while. Unfortunately, when he was in the Heihe River Basin, he didn't have the opportunity to catch more dinosaurs.

Although the price of Dinosaur flesh and blood in Dao City has plummeted now, compared to other ordinary monster flesh and blood, its price should still be a bit higher.

Otherwise, Yu Fenggao would not treat it as a rarity and invite Yu Lie to have a big meal.

After drinking and eating, the two sat cross-legged to digest silently, and the quiet room became quiet.

When Yu Lie was thinking about whether he should leave, Yu Fenggao suddenly looked at Yu Lie and said:
"Cousin, I don't know what is the main purpose, or goal, of your trip to this Dao City? It's better to say it, and I will give you advice for my brother."

A meal of wine and meat brought the relationship between the two closer.

Although Yu Lie still doesn't know the real face of this person, the actions of the other party so far have been quite enthusiastic, and there is a feeling of love for the same family.

Both of them called each other "cousin" and "cousin" without their names.

Yu Lie said: "Thank you cousin for your concern."

But he paused, still didn't respond to Yu Fenggao's words, just said:
"Daocheng is big. When I first arrived here, Yu Lie was still a little uncomfortable. I didn't dare to talk about the goal. Let's settle down first and find a job in the city. Sustaining the livelihood is the top priority."

Yu Fenggao nodded: "What my cousin said is exactly that, if you want to gain a foothold in the city, finding a livelihood is the key."

At that moment, Yu Fenggao began to talk about the work in the county.

This made Yu Lie suddenly discover that Qianzhou Dao City is really prosperous, with all kinds of commodities and needs.

Among them, the small ones run errands to deliver documents, make alchemy talismans, and decorate caves; the big ones follow the Taoist priests in the city to conquer foreign lands and clean up foreign debris; the more surprising ones are those who are responsible for planting seeds for others or giving birth to offspring. child's...

All kinds, everything.

It is simply that there are only tasks and needs that ordinary people can't think of, but none that don't exist.

According to Yu Lie's thoughts, the job he wants to find is naturally to find a elixir shop, join in, and become a Taoist alchemist, so that he can practice his elixir skills while filling his own pockets , to subsidize some household use.

It's just that Yu Lie was still scruples about the principle of "communication with shallow words and deep words". He just listened to Yu Fenggao's suggestion with an open mind, and didn't reveal his own situation, not even the spell of Yufeng.

After talking for a while, Yu Fenggao took a sip of tea, pondered, and suddenly said:
"Since you just came to the city and you don't have a clue yet, then cousin might as well remind you, lest you suddenly become obsessed with the world of flowers and delay your chance."

The other party's words made Yu Lie's eyebrows slightly raised.

He secretly said in his heart: "I still spend a lot of time in the world, today I have heard all the bad things about Qianzhou Daocheng..."

But Yu Lie's face still showed respect and enthusiasm, and he cupped his hands: "Cousin, please speak!"

Yu Fenggao said: "As a Taoist, finding a job to make ends meet is a top priority. But the most important thing is to practice!
In this city, everything is imaginary, and only mana and Taoism are real!Otherwise, it's really better to go back to the countryside, live comfortably for the elderly, and just hang out for a lifetime. "

Yu Lie agrees with this statement.

And because of Yu Fenggao's words, he completely changed his opinion of this rumored "cool-hearted" cousin.

The warm hospitality and introductions in front of them are all trivial things, which can be disguised, and even hide some intentions.

But urging Yu Lie to put his mind on cultivation, such serious words are undoubtedly rare and precious, and it can be regarded as serious.

Yu Lie's expression also sank, and he cupped his hands and said, "What my cousin said is exactly."

Seeing Yu Lie's serious face, Yu Fenggao smiled lightly, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes:
"Sure enough, it's what my father said. He has the will to cultivate Taoism, and he can distinguish what is good."

The other party pondered, and then said: "If you want to come to this Taoist city worthwhile, and be worthy of your thousands of miles away, then remember that the academies, school palaces, Taoist palaces, etc. in the city are the most worthy of your concern. thing.

Regardless of whether you work part-time and study, or work first and then study hard, all in all, you must not waste the opportunities to teach skills, classics, and principles in Daocheng.Even if you don't have the time and opportunity, you still have to find a school run by an old Taoist, and listen to the real principles of cultivation in the city..."

Compared with the introduction of the work just now, what Yu Fenggao said next was more meticulous and careful.

The other party sorted out for Yu Lie all the ways to learn skills and exercises in Daocheng, big and small, which made Yu Lie feel his heart beating and longing for it.

The reason why he came to this Dao City was for these reasons!
At the end, Yu Fenggao said: "Of course, my cousin is a new Taoist who complies with the rules of the Taoist court. According to the law, he is qualified to pass the entrance examination of the Taoist palace. The Taoist palace is your first goal!"

The other party warned: "This matter must not be delayed! Although qualified disciples under [-] have the opportunity to enter the Taoist Palace, the younger the person, the greater the chance. Otherwise, one step at a time, one step at a time."

As Yu Fenggao was speaking, he suddenly asked: "Cousin, do you know, whoever has a better chance of entering the Taoist palace is a last Taoist who is eighteen years old, or a low-rank Taoist who is 24 or five years old?"

Yu Lie was slightly taken aback, chewing: "The last Taoist of eighteen and the next Taoist of twenty-four and five?"

The age difference between the two is only six or seven years, but the realm is quite different.

"According to the Taoist scriptures, those who cultivated as a high-ranking Taoist before the age of 60 have a great chance of breaking through to become a seventh-rank Taoist, and they are already a low-ranking Taoist at 24 or [-]... These two are undoubtedly the qualifications of the latter. It's higher than usual, and it can even be regarded as a Taoist talent."

Yu Lie pondered.

According to the Dao Court's Taoist Cultivation Guidelines, after a Taoist enters the realm of a Taoist, it is different from the once-a-year metamorphosis of the Ninth-Rank Taoist stage.

At the eighth-rank Taoist stage, it takes ten years to complete a transformation, and this speed is only moderate, which will not delay the subsequent promotion.

It's just that this "medium" speed is quite far from reality for people like Yu Lie who don't have deep roots.

Because a transformation is completed once in ten years, it refers to the situation of a medium-talented Taoist who has practiced diligently for ten years, has no shortage of pills, suitable aura, is not seriously injured, and concentrates on cultivation on the basis of not spoiling the seedlings.

But in real life, let’s not talk about the impossibility of smooth sailing in cultivation, and the fact that Taoists may suffer from some illnesses and injuries, and take some detours. The simple fact of “no worries about food and clothing” is enough to stop most low-level Taoists. .

Only those who can be regarded as excellent talents can still keep up with the wealthy Taoists with moderate aptitude even when they are short of food and clothing.

To be promoted to a low-level Taoist disciple at the age of 24 is really not bad!

The answer in Yu Lie's mind has already jumped out, but he glanced at Yu Fenggao, his heart moved, and he cupped his hands and said:

"What my cousin wants to say is that even if he was promoted to a low-level Taoist priest on the 24th day of the year, his generation is not as good as the last Taoist priest who was just promoted at the age of [-]?"

Clap!
Yu Fenggao clapped his hands, looked at Yu Lie with admiring eyes again, and blurted out: "What my cousin said is exactly!"

The other party explained: "Although the latter seems to have good talent, I don't know if he has taken the tiger wolf pill, otherwise why didn't he enter the Taoist Palace a few years ago? And for the Taoist Palace, new Taoist disciples are clean and innocent. It is easier to shape and cultivate, and it has the most potential."

Immediately afterwards, the other party looked at Yu Lie with a sigh and said:

"Cousin, you are only eighteen years old this year, and you haven't yet turned eighteen. If you can participate in a test of the Dao Palace before the eighteenth, the possibility of you entering the Dao Palace is extremely high!"

This reminded Yu Lie.

Yu Lie recalled the bone age he registered when he passed the Daoist examination, and found that he was still eighteen years old, and there was still more than half a year to go!

Yu Fenggao on the opposite side continued to exhort:

"In Dao City, although you can enroll in the Dao Palace at any time, every Taoist has only one chance a year. In other words, the next six months may be the most critical half year for you to enter the Dao Palace in your life. It’s no less than half a year before you took the Taoist test.”

While pondering, Yu Fenggao's voice was somewhat complicated, and he repeated:
"Remember, one step at a time, one step at a time."

Listening to what the other party said, Yu Lie's mind was completely shaken.

It is said that when he came to Qianzhou Daocheng on this trip, he was trying to enter the Taoist palace!Otherwise, he wouldn't have racked his brains at the beginning, and he would become a Taoist within three years, and then rush to Dao City after he achieved it.

Because after obtaining Taoism, one must become a Taoist within three years before he is eligible to enter the Taoist palace.

Now Yu Fenggao's words undoubtedly made Yu Lie's goal for this trip more specific and urgent.

Yu Lie took a sip of tea, his eyes serious: "Is there only half a year left?"

It's just that he and Yu Fenggao met for the first time after all, even if the other party's attitude was friendly, there was no reason to harm him.Yu Lie was still vigilant and didn't take all the other party's words seriously.

He has to go to inquire again, and make a decision after careful consideration.

After another detailed discussion, Yu Lie took the initiative to ask Yu Fenggao many questions.

Faced with these questions, the other party always answered them in detail.

After discussing like this for most of the day, the tea in the pot was added several times, and the smell of the spirit wine the two of them drank completely dissipated.

Yu Lie saw the tired look on Yu Fenggao's face, so he got up in time and planned to leave.

Yu Lie stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Cousin, today's meeting is very rewarding, thank you for your guidance."

Yu Fenggao also nodded, he didn't avoid it, but stood up and said: "But I have chosen a place to stay, I have a spirit bird for my brother, and I will see you off."

After being polite, Yu Lie politely declined the other party on the grounds that he had an appointment with his fellow countryman and wanted to see Qianzhou Daocheng in person.

So Yu Fenggao just walked out of the door and sent Yu Lie to a covered bridge to make it easier for him to travel.

After a while, the two stood on a long corridor bridge with carved beams and painted buildings, but they were in dilapidated condition, bowed to each other, and were about to say goodbye.

But just when Yu Lie was about to turn around, Yu Fenggao suddenly stopped Yu Lie again.

This person looked at Qianzhou Daocheng, which was clear above and dark below, densely covered with buildings, like a jungle, pointed and said:

"Cousin Yu Lie, this is your first time here. Looking at this all-encompassing, Zhuloubiwa Daocheng, besides feeling like a dense forest, what else do you think it looks like?"

Yu Lie didn't know why, so he cast a puzzled look.

Yu Fenggao said flatly: "Nets, snares, spider webs, cages, and fences."

The other party seemed to be smiling but not smiling: "Everyone in the family said that I, Yu Fenggao, was deceived by the city, wishful thinking, ungrateful, supported by the power of the family, and betrayed the whole family. The city is a cage net, and Taoists from all over the world are captured."

For these words, Yu Lie just raised his brows slightly, noncommittal, and patiently waited for the other party's next words.

Sure enough, Yu Fenggao paused for a few breaths, and turned to look at Yu Lie.

This person said meaningfully: "However, the poor Taoists don't think so. For us cultivators, no matter how deficient this city is, it is not a prison.

The real prisoner is actually the submerged county, the Yu family, and the so-called benefactors in the clan! "

"Haha!" Yu Fenggao finally smiled spontaneously, clapping his hands:
"The world is like a cage, and human feelings are like a net. Cousin, you and I are really the same kind of people, you should understand me, I hope you can break free too."

After saying that, Yu Fenggao turned his back on his back.

The other party didn't exchange any more greetings with Yu Lie, leaving only Yu Lie standing on the covered bridge, waved his hands smartly, and left completely.

It seems that the other party's previous enthusiasm and courtesy were all fake.

Yu Lie looked at Yu Fenggao's back and narrowed his eyes slightly:
"Yu Fenggao."

He carefully chewed his cousin's parting words.

Yu Lie had no impression of this person at first, and he didn't have much memory of his childhood, so he never played together at all.Although he was warmly received by the other party just now, he only treated the other party as a warm clansman. It has something to do with it, but not much.

But Yu Fenggao's words before leaving undoubtedly greatly deepened the other party's impression on Yu Lie.

Looking at Qianzhou Daocheng, which looks like a jungle with fences, Yu Lie's eyes flickered, and he said:

"The world is like a cage, and human feelings are like a net. Are there people of the same type?"

He chuckled, shook his head, noncommittal.

On the corridor bridge, Yu Lie was also shaking his sleeve robe, striding towards the other end of the corridor bridge, he disappeared in the darkness, and escaped into the underground passage.
