In the vast sky and earth, the surroundings were a wasteland. Zhiyan was in a daze.
He suddenly recalled that the abbot had given him two letters last night. Although Daoist Master Fu Chang had restored his clothes to their original state and the blood had been removed, the two letters were still intact and untouched.
Since the abbot said that the second letter couldn't be opened, Zhiyan opened the first one. As expected, the abbot's scribbles were inside. Moreover, the letter was stained with his own blood from last night. The letter said:
"My disciple Zhiyan:
By the time you see this letter, you will be far away from me, and my son will have been destroyed. I leave this book for you, hope that you can fulfill my will, and restore my long-cherished wish, is my last entrustment.
After you read this letter, you set foot in time to travel in the martial arts world. There is no need to abide by the Six Commandments, but you must be careful with your words. Thou hast been the last hope of revenge for me and my fellow apprentices. The Diamond Sutra was remembered in his heart. After that, he had to diligently practice hard, and he also had to diligently practice his Spear Arts more. During this trip to the martial arts world, he would definitely cultivate diligently in order to increase his strength as soon as possible. When things happen, you need to restrain your impulses, be calm and deliberate, and save your life. If possible, he had to enter a sect and learn even more advanced spear arts.
When this letter is finished, you must not read it again. The next letter needed to be delivered to the Haizhou of the Eastern Region and handed over to Ancestor Master Hui. It must be delivered personally and must not be sent by a Chinese person. Although Yanluan Mountain was about a thousand kilometers away, it was still best to send it over as soon as possible, so it was not appropriate for it to be too late. Last but not least, the name of your letter is Wang Lih, the Tao is called Zhiyan. This was all he could say. He would be alone on the road after this and be careful of everything. "Sun, steel, Liu, steel."
Zhiyan put the letter away and started to think.
There must be a reason why the abbot wanted him to change his name to Wang Lih.
From now on, he was no longer the disciple of Shaolin Temple, Zhiyan.
From today onwards, his name will be Wang Lih! However, Shaolin Temple had already become a memory. Now, he was finally going to step into this chaotic martial arts world.
"However, Master Fang mentioned Five Poison Hall and Hall Master Ancestor Master Hui, and I had to personally deliver the second letter. Although they were over a thousand kilometers apart, there was still a direction. Right, where is this place? " Suddenly, a map of five thousand kilometers of the Black Yi Dynasty flashed through his mind. He could now see the entirety of the Myriad Domain.
"So this is what Daoist Master said about the complete map of the world. I'll have to take a closer look."
In his mind, he could faintly see the appearance of the continent, as well as the marked river valley.
The Black Yi Dynasty Continent appeared to be square with the word "ten". According to their location, they divided the five prefectures into the Central Jiangzhou, the Southern Zhuzhou, the Eastern Haizhou, the Northern Qingzhou and the Western Continent. Each continent had a circumference of ten thousand miles and was extremely vast. The Black Yih City of the capital was located right in the center of the Jiangzhou, which was also the biggest city in the entire Black Yi Dynasty.
Fang Dang had mentioned that the dynasties had a martial arts culture, and the map showed the size of hundreds of sects. Depending on the size of the characters, they could roughly distinguish between small or large sects.
But what was strange was that after looking through the entire map, he did not see the Five Poison Hall that Fang Shen had been looking for?
"Strange... Master Fang told me to bring a letter to the Five Poison Hall, but it seems that there isn't a sect called Five Poison Hall in the Black Yi Dynasty? " Wang Lih was puzzled, "But the letter said that the Five Poison Hall are in the Eastern Region, so I believe I should only go to the Haizhou first? Forget it, let's see where I am now … "
Wang Lih continued to look at the map in his mind and soon found his location.
He was currently within the boundaries of the Jiangzhou, standing at the foot of the mountain of Mount Cloak, dozens of kilometers away to the north of the Yanluan. He thought of the poem he had seen on the table earlier. Perhaps he could confirm that this place truly was Mount Li.
Then, if he were to take the shortest route to the Haizhou of the Eastern Region, he would need to go through … The many streams, Luo County, and the eastern half of the vast plain, as well as the capital's Black Yih City and the western half of the vast plain, came out from within the vast plain. After flipping over one Fengyue Mountain, they entered the borders of the Haizhou. They had travelled nearly a thousand kilometers. This truly was a vast, awe-inspiring journey.
"With a path to follow and a map to follow, I won't have to worry about doing nothing." Wang Lih put away the map, looked at the sun to confirm the direction, and then followed the road not far away.
….
Wang Lih carried a long rod on his back. After he left the wasteland on foot, he walked along the official road for a long time. When the sun set, it was already before the river.
"Um …" The sun is setting in the west, let's rest nearby. " Wang Lih thought as he found an old banyan tree by the river. Many broken branches were broken in the nearby woods, and a fire was built under the trees. He caught some fish and crabs in the river and cooked them to satisfy his hunger. As a Shaolin Temple disciple, this was the first time he had eaten such food. However, his Shaolin Temple had already been destroyed, and Lord Fang had also said that he no longer needed to abide by the rules and regulations.
Shaolin Temple disciple Zhiyan had died in the disaster! Now, it was the young Wang Lih who carried the responsibility of exterminating his clan and roaming the martial arts world!
"Revenge must be done as soon as possible … "I will do everything in my power to make myself stronger!" Wang Lih thought.
By the time he finished eating, it was already dark.
Wang Lih sat in front of the fire to rest. After walking for a day, his feet were tired.
"I have nothing better to do, why not take a look at the Qi Cultivation Method 'Five Spirit Mind Spell' that you gave me?" Wang Lih thought for a while and tried his best to recall the contents of the Five Spirit Mind Spell . Closing his eyes, Wang Lih seemed to have entered a hazy and empty world.
A huge, thick, blue thread-bound copy of Five Spirit Mind Spell was in front of him, and Wang Lih started flipping through it.
Everything in the world, everything in the mortal world, everything in the world, had its own dao.
There were thousands of different paths in the world, and all of them contained the five spirits. The Five Spirits were the key to the creation of this world. Metal, wood, water, fire, and earth were the fundamental elements of this great world. This Five Spirit Mind Spell was the basis for a deeper exploration of the five spirits of the world. It was created from the five elements of nature by comprehending the sun and moon's potential, changing into night and day, and formed from the five elements of the five elements of nature. Thus, he would use the fundamental way of the world to refine pure energy, purifying the Dantian and opening the meridians. He could convert the five spirits into his own Qi and refine the heaven's way into the essence of his muscles and bones.
Five Spirit Mind Spell was divided into five parts: Mystical Wave Heart Method, Burning Heart Arts, Green Spirit Heart Method, Balance Dao Heart Method, and Reclamation Heart Method. The beginner should choose a suitable mental cultivation method to enter the Dao. After clearing the spirit vein for this trip, he would then follow the other four paths. After clearing all five paths, the Five Spirits will be complete.
"These five mental cultivation methods correspond to the five elements of water, fire, wood, metal, and earth." Wang Lih pondered.
"I'll start with the first mental cultivation method and see what kind of mental cultivation method is suitable for me." Wang Lih sighed as he looked at the part of the "Xuan Tao mental cultivation method". As the name implied, the "Xuan Tao mental cultivation method" was a mental cultivation method that cultivated the water attribute Spirit Meridians of Water.
Water, one of the five elements, was the source of all things. Because there was water in this world, all living things could not live without water. Water is the spirit of life, water has life. Water can live and die. A mortal's seven orifices filled with water instantly fell to the ground. Water had turned into ice, freezing the heavens and the earth, and snow was drifting in the air. Normal people wouldn't be able to bear it. The water turned into rain, and fell down with a sharp gleam. Although it was light, it could sink the country even though it was heavy with all things.
The Black Waves Mantra was the foundation of the five spirits of heaven and earth, the Tao of Water Elephants and the Dao of Life and Death. Absorbing the powers of the five spirits and the powers of heaven and earth, discussing about the water spirit meridians in the hundred elephants. He infused the water elephant's spirit energy into his body and used it to temper his Qi. Comprehending the workings of the great Dao of water was the foundation of this mental cultivation method.
In order to practice this set of heart cultivation arts, one had to first comprehend the Dao of Xuan Tao.
"The Dao of Xuan Tao?" Wang Lih looked at the clear stream in front of him. Xuan Tao, this should be something that only exists in the vast ocean, right? Would there be one in the river?
As a result, Wang Lih stared at the stream without blinking as he saw the stream flow from the northeast to the southwest. Although it was a small river, it also had a relatively fast flowing speed. He placed a broken branch in front of him and in an instant, he was several Zhang downstream. The lakes and seas are wide, but the current is still, and there is rarely such a rapidity in the stream. Was this the Tao of Mystical Waves?
Just by looking at how Wang Lih thought he wouldn't be able to comprehend anything, he stretched his hand into the water. The shallow water flowed past his hand, bringing a cool feeling with it.
"It's just training, but it involves such profound content." Wang Lih sighed.
Even so, Wang Lih still didn't get much of an epiphany.
"Profound …" Wang Lih shook his head.
After a while, Wang Lih went to sleep under the tree.
….
The next morning, the sun shone brightly.
After Wang Lih was woken up by the sun, he got up to put out the fire, packed up his stuff, got up and continued his journey.
Speeding up his pace, Wang Lih crossed a deep and wide river within a day. And the river beside the tree last night was probably just a tributary.
As he walked, he thought of the large stone staff that Daoist Master Fu Chang had given him that he still carried on his back.
Right now, he definitely couldn't easily wield that hundred-pound staff, but right now, he only had this weapon. If he wanted to move it easily, he would need to train a lot. He would also need to have strong muscles and tendons. Even though the《 Adamantine Scripture》 had reached the Second Layer Stage and he only had fifty kilograms of strength, he could only lift it. If he were to easily swing the stone rod that weighed a hundred Jin, he would probably need to lift it with a force of three hundred Jin.
Thus, Wang Lih tried to swing the stone stave as he hurried along the way. With this, he could at least train his arm strength. With the long training in the past, his own strength had long since far surpassed that of his peers.
But he did not expect the stone staff to be so heavy! 50 kilograms was much heavier than he imagined!
"I want to lift it up. "Waving..." Wang Lih clenched his teeth as veins popped out all over his body. He was using all of his strength to swing the heavy stone club.
Atop the vast, desolate plains, a gray-robed, plain-clothed youth was constantly brandishing a longstaff. Each blow seemed to be incomparably slow. However, all of them attacked the air, causing "Hu! — — hu! — —" sounds of explosions in the air.
Time flew. A day of hurrying had arrived, and dusk had arrived.
The official road in front extended forward, revealing a tall city wall. The official road was facing the city gate, and the city walls that stretched out from both sides of the gate seemed to be a few kilometers long. The city gate was guarded by several guards wearing light armor and holding red tassels in their hands. In front of the gates, on the city walls. Mighty and solemn, breathtaking. The city gates were opened wide, and carriages and pedestrians came and went in an unending stream.
On top of the city gate, there was a large stone tablet with two big words written on it in beautiful and delicate characters.
"Luo County."
Although it was dusk, the Luo County city gate was not affected by the afterglow at all, and was still burning hot.
"Luo County, we have finally arrived."
Wang Lih smiled and followed the large crowd into Luo County City.
….
In the distant sky, the sharp cry of an eagle could be heard. He saw a tall and sturdy powerful falcon flying directly from the distant sky into the Spirit Luo County Great City. The falcon's leg was tied to a talisman.
