As Chen Chuan walked closer, the vines separated under his gaze, revealing the complete handwriting inside.

The handwriting is small, but elegant and free-spirited, giving it a sense of open-mindedness. This should be left behind by this demon before it was alienated.

He took a few glances and saw that what was engraved on it was the person's self-narration.

This man called himself You Zhinan, and he was a protector of the Jinli Sect.

Jin Lijiao...

He thought for a while, this should be a branch of Xuanjiao. He had this impression because there were people from this sect in several Xuanguan in the central city of Jibei Road.

This sect had a certain power in the past, otherwise it would not be recorded in municipal records. However, in the new era, due to some reasons, the sect fell into decline. The following disciples have given up the fighting inheritance and make a living entirely by calculation and divination.

, and it no longer has much combat effectiveness.

According to You Zhinan, he came here when Emperor Chengyi was still alive.

Di Chengyi...

He thought for a while and calculated based on time, this should be an emperor more than four hundred years ago, before the end of the Dynasty.

He could remember it because he was a rare emperor who believed in Zen religion and suppressed Xuan religion since the two religions were victorious eight hundred years ago. During his reign, Zen religion was very prosperous.

After a while, some scholars believe that the subsequent changes in the new dynasty may also be related to this.

After changing his mind, he continued to look down.

This man said that he was here precisely because of the discovery of the Nine-aperture Stone Lotus, and that the Jinli Sect had a recipe that used lotus flowers, lotus seeds and other rare medicines to help protectors like him climb to higher levels.

High realm.

As can be seen from the later description, he also said that this prescription was incomplete, and he also admitted that there was really little hope of achieving his goal with this unproven prescription, but he had to put his hope in it.

This is because Jin Lijiao was almost dispersed in his era due to the suppression by the imperial family.

At that time, he was the only remaining Dharma protector in the sect, and there was no one left to serve as the leader. The rest were all loosely divided into groups, and they had long lost the atmosphere they had in the past.

And if you want to prosper the sect, it is nothing more than to have another real person, a person like the Celestial Master. After all, although Xuanjiao was suppressed by the imperial family at that time, none of the major sects did much, and they just gave a cold reception on the surface, which shows that this place is

Treated differently.

In this regard, for some unknown reason, he finally wrote down the incomplete recipe and his own completed recipe.

After reading it, Chen Chuan wrote it down, but he only wrote it down because he was not sure whether it was true or not, and it was hard to tell whether the other party had any intentions.

Besides, even if these are true, in the new era, technology has developed very fast, and many old things are not useless, but have better substitutes. Even Xuanjiao made a contribution after the founding of the Republic of Dashun.

Among a batch of elixirs, there may not be one that is better than the one in front of you.

After the elixir prescription, the man left another regretful message. The purpose of coming to the blending place was actually to find a treasure that was left here by Xuanjiao in the early years. Unexpectedly, he met Shilian and felt that the thing in front of him was more important, so he gave up the original idea.

I decided to stay here and wait for the lotus seeds to mature.

He also rambled on and mixed in some past events, saying that when he was young, he only focused on spiritual practice and did not give anything in return to many friends who helped him. Later, when he thought about it, he felt ashamed of the help of those friends, so he left the names and birthplaces of these friends here.

There are past deeds.

He said that although he could no longer repay the kindness of those friends, he could make the names of these friends last forever and not decay.

Chen Chuan took a few glances and found that the descriptions of these people were engraved on a large natural stone nearby. There were probably less than twenty people in total.

The stone in the blending place is an unusual stone because of the intersection of day and night. In addition, the characters are deeply engraved, and there is also the spiritual infiltration of demons and ghosts before they were alienated. It can be said that if there is no forced destruction, what is the problem of surviving for thousands of years?

This one wasn't talking big.

The content left behind by this person is much more than that. Maybe because a person has been lonely here for a long time, he can only use these to relieve the depression in his heart.

On a stone nearby, there are some secrets of the Jinli Sect that he left behind. This is a set of cultivation techniques from the basics to the fourth level of practice, which is to the so-called Wuzong level. There are also some listed next to it.

Precautions and medications required at each stage.

There was a bit of pride in the words left behind, thinking that he had sorted out what he had learned in the past and introduced new ones again, and said that this set of practice methods could help Jinlijiao flourish for another three hundred years.

Chen Chuan looked at it and thought about it. How should I put it? It has merits. There are still certain requirements for entry-level talent, and it is only suitable for a few people. Nowadays, the methods of the new era are actually better and more suitable for ordinary people.

Many of the techniques in the new era were discussed and promoted by many fighters during the major league period. They are definitely much better than the one in front of me working alone behind closed doors.

But it's not that this person's things are worthless. If they had been taken out at that time, they should have been pretty good. Unfortunately, times have changed.

He looked around and saw that the stones in front of him were neatly arranged one by one, and there were actually words on each side. This person had recorded every year at the beginning. He counted them, and the time span was as long as two hundred and thirty-two years.

However, counting back from the era it belonged to, there were still about two hundred years left in it. In fact, later on, he already felt that something was wrong with this person.

Surviving in the blending land day after day, fighting against invasion day and night, this person must have accumulated too much filth in his body, and has begun to alienate.

His handwriting began to become messy, but occasionally he would become clearer.

And he could feel his problem. He carved some records on a stone wall, saying that he originally thought that the secrets of Jinli Sect were enough to resist these filth, but it seemed that he had miscalculated, and lamented that perhaps only Xuanjiao or Zen sect

Top secrets can resist.

Looking further back, the handwriting becomes completely chaotic and crazy.

Chen Chuan understood the reason. The root cause was that this person began to doubt what he had learned.

Once this idea appears in the mind and the will is wavered, the situation will take a turn for the worse.

But there is nothing that can be done about it. It is precisely because his body has been invaded by filth that he has this suspicion. Even if he realizes it and resists from time to time, it will only delay the process. Unless he gets out from here, then there is still

May recover.

Then, in order to wait for this stone lotus to mature, he would not leave at all and persisted for two hundred years. This was not something that could be easily let go, and it even became an obsession rooted in the deepest part of his body and mind.

Even if he became a demon in the end, he never gave up.

But he knew that this protector actually made a mistake.

It is recorded in the prescription that lotus seeds that bear five, seven, and nine each have a maturity period. If the number of five is not equal to the number of seven, the number of seven is not equal to nine. Only when the lotus seeds are picked when they are mature can they exert their maximum effect.

But this is not the case. It may be a flaw in the transmission of knowledge in the old days. Knots 5, 7, and 9 are all correct, but instead of waiting for them to mature on their own, you have to take out the lotus seeds and put them back the next night.

Put a few seeds in a few times, and when they are all gone through, the lotus seeds will mature on their own.

And almost two hundred years ago, these lotus seeds were already five-year-old, barely enough for the elixir, so this person probably didn't know this information, so he missed this opportunity, and then he became a demon. It's sad.

What a pity.

Now that he knows this, it is up to him to take advantage of it.

It's just that he had to pick it up at the very first moment of daylight, so he was too late today and had to wait until tomorrow to start.

In this case, he might as well stay here for a while, this thing is worth waiting for.

By the way, he planned to read the stone tablet left by the other party, because the other party's original purpose was to come here to find the Xuanjiao relic, but he did not write down what it was. With his temperament, he might take the initiative to write it down later.

.

But the result is a bit regretful. The remaining stone tablets only have some unexplained babbles, but these babbles do not seem to be completely illogical, and they seem to be trying to express something.

When Chen Chuan looked at part of it, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it. But as he gradually read it and connected the contents together, he gradually saw the differences.

It seemed to express that when he was practicing, he saw a god come to him, and the two of them studied the practice method by asking and answering questions, and then praised the "wonderful" and thought that he had seen the real truth.

To learn the Dharma, you should "abandon the old and start with the new, practice by multiplying the Dharma", and then "naturally achieve wonderful enlightenment".

At first, he thought that this was the reason why he gradually began to alienate himself, causing mental problems, so he imagined these things.

But as he continued to look, a light suddenly lit up on his body. It turned out to be a large bright light that overflowed from itself. It seemed to resist and eliminate something for him, but nothing unusual appeared on the second self.

He couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.

In this case, it is because one feels some kind of danger in the spirit, so the Great Mingguang Pose moves spontaneously.

Therefore, what is recorded on this stone tablet is not necessarily the imagination of the protector You. He speculates that this person may have communicated with something. The most reasonable inference is that during the alienation process, this person learned something from someone in the opposite world.

A method of practice.

So when he saw it just now, the alienated organization received the information and started to try it on its own, and the changes caused by this self-action, secondly, without the intervention of his will, I generally would not take the initiative to react, but it was for myself.

The spirit noticed something was wrong, and thus led to the Great Mingguang Pose.

He secretly reminded himself that he should always be wary of some things on the opposite side, but he felt that it was not a bad thing to see these things now. If similar things appeared in front of him in the future, he would not be unprepared.

He remained vigilant and continued to search. When he got to the last few stones where the writing was almost unclear, he actually found some clues that were suspected to be related to the relic.
