Handbook of Survival in the World of Cultivating Immortals

Chapter 5 04: The Wasteland and the Dharma-Ending Age
The brown liquid medicine was gradually diluted and turned into clear water again—the essence of the medicine had been completely absorbed by Lu Liang's body.

Lu Liang hasn't felt this way for a long time.

Similar to the effect of the bone-washing pill in memory, the impurities in the body are discharged, which not only makes the meridians stronger, but also makes the body lighter.

Lu Liang raised his hand and gently wiped the dirt on the surface of his body, remembering the first life he traveled through. After washing the bones and cutting the marrow, his cultivation has been going smoothly, and the breakthrough of the realm is more like riding a rocket. Considered a seed-focused cultivation among its peers.

Perhaps it was the price of multiple rebirths. In the following life, he was completely an ordinary person, not even qualified to set foot on the road of immortality. Although he was sheltered by the master for a while, he had no worries about food and clothing, but the peaceful days were always so short in the world of cultivating immortals. They all pay attention to opportunities, and resources are limited. Countless immortal cultivators cross the single-plank bridge, and if they are not careful, they will die.

The heavenly voice brought death as expected, overlapping with the whisper of "Your life is over" in countless nightmares.

I am a dead person.

Lu Liang stood up from the water with lingering eyes.

But so what?It doesn't matter if you are played by fate, since you are alive, you have to do something.

As for the original owner of this body, no matter whether there is any hidden secret or not, Lu Liang does not intend to care about it.

Looking at the bruises on the leg, and thinking of throwing a little girl with no spiritual roots and no strength to restrain a chicken in a dangerous and unknown wilderness, one can imagine how cruel the original owner's home was.

Looking at what Xia Yaoyi said inside and outside the words, this Lu family is by no means a kind person, even if they are cruel to their family members, but to outsiders... that cannot be summed up by the word "cruel".

Lu Liang thought about it, and listed the steps one, two, three to survive in the future. At the same time, he climbed out of the barrel and dried his body with a towel on the side.

Her hair was sticking to her back wetly, and before Lu Liang could take a towel to dry it, Xia Yaoyi raised her eyelids and gave her a finger, Lu Liang's hair had already been dried.

Lu Liang, who has long been accustomed to the life of ordinary people, froze for a moment, stroked his dry hair, turned around and smiled, and said sincerely, "Thank you."

He picked up the clothes stacked on the chair and began to wear them. The clothes were old clothes that Xia Yaoyi sent Yu Guisi to ask for from neighbors. Although they were old clothes, they were washed clean, and the light blue suits Lu very well. He has a cool temperament, and when he is expressionless, he looks even more deserted and unkind.

After getting dressed, Xia Yaoyi came over and touched her chin and nodded, saying. "Well, sure enough, it's better for girls to tidy up."

She just wanted a well-behaved girl at the beginning, but God failed her wish and gave birth to a boy, and the brat was not obedient at all...

Xia Yaoyi sighed in her heart, Yu Guisi is not restless at all, he really inherited from his father, his restless temperament is exactly the same, he always wants to go out for adventure, if his father is gone, he will not return after so many years. I am waiting here, but what can I do, I should choose to forgive him.

It has been so many years before I know it, if this kid runs out again...

Shaking her head to dismiss this thought, Xia Yaoyi laughed at herself.If it weren't for his status as a monk, he would not have lived so peacefully in the past ten years.

This remote town is the place closest to the wilderness on the eastern mainland, and it is also the place where fish and dragons are most mixed up. The majority of monks here are monks. Although it is not as prosperous as the big cities in various countries, it is also a place that many people dream of. Ordinary people can flee here to serve the monks in exchange for the monks' protection, and for some monks who defected from the sect, this place is also suitable for hiding their identities and living incognito.

Just like their family.

Following Xia Yaoyi's instructions, Lu Liang put on his boots and turned around in a circle, with fluttering clothes, as if he had become the former Fairy Lu Liang again.

However, times have changed and things have changed.

Turning around twice, he turned around and found that Xia Yaoyi had fallen into her own world again and didn't look at her at all, so Lu Liang had no choice but to gently tug on her sleeve.

"Aunt Xia, I don't remember many things, can you tell me about this world...?"

Lu Liang obediently called Xia Yaoyi, which was Xia Yaoyi's request before.He made up an excuse casually, and wanted Xia Yaoyi to tell him something about this world. Before he could figure out how to live his life in the future, he had to understand the world.

Xia Yaoyi came back to her senses, and when she heard the "Aunt Xia" she smiled and readily agreed.

Although Xia Yaoyi was a bit vague when it came to some secret matters, Lu Liang still learned a lot from her words.

According to the ancient records, this world is called Qingluan Small World.

In ancient times, the aura of heaven and earth was strong, and many monks were able to ascend to the upper realm after enlightenment. But for some unknown reason, the aura of heaven and earth quickly depleted in a very short period of time. After reaching an extremely low value, the decline gradually slowed down until Now, the aura of heaven and earth in the air is really thin, it is difficult for monks to improve their cultivation, and it is becoming more and more difficult to advance.

In today's world, the cultivation of the ancestors of the golden core is considered to be the peak. There are tens of thousands of monks, many of whom can't even build a foundation. They have exhausted their hundred years of life and practiced until they died, turning into a pile of loess. .

The world of cultivating immortals calls this the "Dharma-ending Age".

That being said, except for the human monks, the demon cultivators are not affected by the reduction of the aura of heaven and earth at all. They are still making rapid progress in their cultivation and dominating one side.

So there is such a strange situation in this world, monks generally do not have a high level of cultivation, while demon cultivators have high levels of cultivation, some demon cultivators are willing to integrate into the world and live like humans, while others occupy mountains as kings and make humans their slaves. , to carry out his own violent reign.

Gradually, human beings suffered unspeakably under the oppression of the demon cultivators. Where there is oppression, there will inevitably be resistance. Under an opportunity, someone finally rose up and united many compatriots who also suffered and suffered, as well as some demon cultivators who fell on the human side. , together overthrew the violent rule that oppressed human demon cultivators, and established their own kingdom...

It is a bloody history and an epic of human beings united in order to survive.

A few words, but there are so many sad memories behind it-it was a dark age.

Now there are two kingdoms in this world, the East and the West. Although they are located on the same continent, the land roads between the two kingdoms are almost impassable because of the existence of the wilderness, where all life is extinct; He has long realized that the world he lives in is round. On the other side, the east and west kingdoms face each other across the sea of ​​creatures, and maritime trade is quite developed.

As for some scattered small islands in the sea, except for some that have been well built as transit stations, most of the others are uninhabited desert islands and are ignored.

After listening to Xia Yaoyi's talk for a long time, Lu Liang almost sketched out the world in his mind—or should I say the territory of this planet, because he used to live in a world of technology. Although it has been a long time, his memory is a little fuzzy, but he can understand it. There is no difficulty in this kind of thing.

Xia Yaoyi finally talked about the wasteland... Lu Liang became a little excited, raised his head and looked bright.

This planet with only one continent, the wasteland is located between the eastern and western kingdoms, accounting for the vast majority of this continent. If you compare them with other worlds, the area where human beings live in this world is really too small.

The wasteland does not have any special name, it is just called "the wasteland".

It’s not that there are no people or trees or weeds on it. There are steep mountains and deep canyons on its edges and even its hinterland, but because it is full of dangers. A strange plant that doesn't know where its center is, and strange things often happen.

It's for—the wilderness.

For example, someone once saw a black hole that could not be seen to the bottom suddenly appeared in the earth, and it seemed to swallow people alive just by looking at it.The reason for the formation of this wasteland is no longer possible to test, but many people speculate that it is because of the fighting skills of the gods that the life and vitality here are shattered.

Of course, after years of exploration and research, those who came to explore have also mastered some rules. For example, there is a relatively safe road in the wasteland. As long as you walk along it, you will not encounter much danger. Some spiritual treasures of heaven and earth... Danger and benefit coexist, and the wasteland is such a place.

What fascinates some monks even more is that the aura of heaven and earth contained in the wasteland is dozens of times that of the outside world, and the speed of cultivation in the wasteland is much faster than outside!
Wealth and wealth are sought in danger, and in this way, monk settlements have been formed on the outskirts of the wasteland.

What's more, for example, some big families have enough strength to build their own cities in the wilderness, and they are the kings of the places they shelter.

Here, Xia Yaoyi took a look at Lu Liang, and deliberately talked about something about the Lu family. Seeing that Lu Liang didn't respond, she continued to talk about life nearby.

There was no fluctuation on Lu Liang's face, but his heart was full of shock waves.

The place where the Lu family is sheltering is not far from here, nor is it close. This is the border of the Eastern Kingdom, within a large area bordering the wasteland, there are six large families.

Among them, the Lu family and the fifth family belong to the upper four families of the ten generations, and the remaining four families of Ouyang, Xia, Li, and Wang belong to the lower six families.There are also countless vassal families.

This small town is the farthest from the Xia family, the nearest is the Lu family, and the fifth is next. Because it is close to the aristocratic family, there are relatively few dangers nearby. Even ordinary people living here will have no problem.

Lu Liang thought about it in his heart.

The original owner of this body is probably a member of the Lu family. After turning over the memory, the only clue is the name, which is exactly the same as his original name, and it saves the need to change the name he has been called for several generations to adapt to the new one. name.

But Lu Liang didn't intend to take on the original responsibilities and obligations of this body.

No matter what, since the people of this family have already lost her, and it was another Lu Liang who resurrected her body, what did the previous things have to do with her?Could it be that he felt that the torture was not enough and he wanted to pull it back and do it again?That's not the way to use waste.

Now I can't cultivate anyway, all the efforts I made to attract Qi into the body were sucked in by that strange vortex, and there was no scum left for her, even if she was furious, she had nowhere to vent , can only let it go.

The only problem now is to consider the issue of survival first.Simply put, it is basic necessities of life.

Xia Yaoyi had just finished talking about the customs of the neighborhood, she paused, hesitated for a long time before making up her mind and looking at her, "...What are you going to do after this?"

For Yu Guisi and Xia Yaoyi, who are orphans and widows, it is already the limit to take her in for one night, and she cannot be allowed to eat and drink at their house from now on.

Lu Liang lowered his eyes, thought for a while, and said, "...Can I live nearby? It's okay to build a house by myself, I will find something I can do to support myself."
