Chapter 56: Above the Four Symbols of Heaven

The vast, boundless, starry sky is filled with everything, but I am the only one left.

There was a vast expanse of white in front of his eyes, as if it was going to bury Li Guanyi completely and make his consciousness disperse and return to his true body. This was like the most primitive era when the ancient people looked up and saw the starry sky and were dazed. Li Guanyi's consciousness seemed to be leaving this state and falling into a pure dream.

But at this moment, the music that he had heard countless times over the years once again echoed in Li Guanyi's mind.

This is not an external thing.

Rather, it is the traces and imprints left in the soul after years of playing the piano and practicing day after day.

It has become the most authentic existence. Even if Li Guanyi's consciousness is in chaos, the music will not dissipate. This is the so-called [Heart of the Qin]. Among the various schools of thought, it is useless in troubled times to some extent, but it is precious enough to be no less than the [Heart of Tao].

It has nothing to do with martial arts, and you cannot kill. It is useless to talk about it, but the only thing is to keep this heart from falling. No matter how chaotic the world is, you can still maintain your original heart.

Don't be assimilated into a mad beast by this chaotic world, Li Nuer.

Li Guanyi seemed to hear Murong Qiushui playing the zither and humming with a smile when he was three years old:
"Overtones resemble the sky, pressed notes resemble people, and scattered notes resemble the earth."

"Li Nuer, do you remember?"

The piano sounds melodious.

Li Guanyi's mind becomes focused when he plays the piano. After ten years of hard practice, the sound of the piano in his heart also keeps him focused, sweeping away all the noise. After two breaths of being at a loss, Li Guanyi finally came to his senses and focused his mind in this vast and magnificent scene, which was absolutely difficult for him to maintain his mind for the first time.

The sound of the piano gradually faded into my heart.

Li Guanyi raised his hand to cover his forehead: "Why do I suddenly think of my aunt's piano music?"

"here it is……"

He raised his hand and saw wisps of white clouds passing through his palm. He raised his head and looked ahead. A big sun seemed to be hanging high in the sky, golden and huge. The golden light fell on the white clouds and turned into layers of ripples.

Where is this place?

Li Guanyi walked forward slowly and heard the roars of tigers and dragons. He walked towards the place where the tigers were roaring. White clouds dispersed and a huge white tiger stood there quietly, majestic and tall. The white tiger's hair was longer than that of a normal tiger, and there was a hint of gold at the end of its tail.

It looked at Li Guanyi.

Then it took a few steps, and as it got closer, it gradually became smaller.

Finally it reached the same height as Li Guanyi.

That is also a height that exceeds that of a normal beast.

His forehead gently touched Li Guanyi's forehead, and the golden breath flowed into Li Guanyi's mind. In an instant, Li Guanyi understood the indescribable charm, and the natural knowledge that existed between heaven and earth gathered and turned into an existence that he could understand.

The power of the stars in the sky falls into the human world, bringing with them their own characteristics.

The warriors with extraordinary talents comprehended the mighty power of nature and created their own unique magical powers.

This is what is called sudden enlightenment of nature.

Li Guanyi also entered this state when he broke through.

This is the power from the [Seven Stars of the White Tiger]. The White Tiger clans of all generations have accepted this power and comprehended different moves and magical powers from it. The power of starlight gathered in Li Guanyi's body. When this perception disappeared, Li Guanyi had already sensed the star power in his heart.

The White Tiger constellation is in charge of killing.

Li Guanyi raised his hand.

In this place, whether real or illusory, golden light gathered on his fingers, showing a violent posture, just like General Xue in the past, who developed his own unique archery skills after becoming the head of the White Tiger Sect. Li Guanyi also realized his own unique White Tiger skills at this moment.

The power wrapped around the fingers gathered, circling faster and faster.

Eventually, it turned into a golden stream of light with extreme armor-piercing and penetrating power.

Li Guanyi shook his hand and swung it out. This stream of light penetrated very far, like the fangs of a tiger, making a sharp whistling sound that broke through the air. The white tiger's image slowly retreated, majestic and solemn. Li Guanyi raised his head and looked at the white clouds around him.

Just as the White Tiger Dharma Image retreated to its original position, the surrounding clouds suddenly dissipated.

Along with a dull thunder-like sound, the clouds quickly flowed with the young man as the center, and finally dissipated together, revealing the white jade-like floor beneath his feet, revealing endless and complex patterns, which spread in all directions with his feet as the center.

Then Li Guanyi saw that around the white tiger image, there was a circling red dragon and a quiet black turtle.

The red dragon has already lit up, and the black turtle is real, but its eyes have no charm.

There is also a blank platform.

The four Dharma images were in the four directions, and Li Guanyi himself stood in the middle.

Being surrounded by this towering, majestic, god-like image, one's heart naturally feels solemn.

The four elephants looked at him.

The clouds dispersed, and the view ahead became clear. Li Guanyi saw a road leading to a more distant place. It seemed to be the peak of mountains and rivers. There were thick white clouds and afterimages around the road, and at the top of the steps there seemed to be a jade-colored high seat.

Sitting on the jade throne, overlooking the four elephants.

Li Guan took a step forward subconsciously.

A huge pressure came down the next moment. Li Guanyi's shoulders sank and he felt the severe mental oppression. The white jade steps under his feet seemed unable to bear his weight and collapsed inch by inch. Li Guanyi fell downwards.

Li Guanyi suddenly opened his eyes.

What came into view were traces of rocks, and the sound of streams flowing over stones could be heard. The boy took a deep breath, and then a quiet voice soothed the momentary restlessness in his heart: "You're awake."

Li Guanyi turned his head and saw Yaoguang kneeling in front of him reading a book.

She was not wearing a hood, her long silver hair hung quietly at her temples, and there was blood on the hem of her clothes.

Li Guanyi lowered his head and saw that his wounds had been treated and bandaged with clean cloth. With the improvement of his body after entering the country, he no longer felt much pain from the wounds. He only felt the numbness and itchiness from the rapid flow of Qi and blood in his body and the gradual healing of his wounds.

Yaoguang looked at him and said, "Now that you have entered the country, you can try to sense the changes in your body."

This is the rock outside the stream. Li Guan raised his head and felt the difference around him, as if he suddenly had an extra sense, or opened his eyes for the first time, and could directly and instinctively feel some special power between heaven and earth.

After clenching his fists, his physical strength increased to a certain level.

But Li Guanyi could sense a destructive force in his palm.

As long as it is swung out, it can unleash destructive power far beyond the past.

Entered the country.

I don't know how effective the entry will be.

He sensed his own power, the bronze tripod hummed slightly, and there was a mist in the boy's eyes. On his right, a tiger claw pressed on the ground, and a white tiger with a head five feet high and seven feet long paced slowly, as if real. On his left, a red dragon ten feet long circled quietly, and fire seemed to flow on its scales.

A young man with bloodstained clothes sat among them.

No one else could see this scene.

Li Guanyi can clearly feel his own strength, just like he knows the approximate effect of a chop with a sword in hand; at this moment, he can mobilize his internal energy to draw on the vitality of heaven and earth, he can punch out with his internal energy breaking his body, he has many means to mobilize the power of Dharmakāya without having to use Dharmakāya martial arts.

The White Tiger Dharma Image can cover weapons, fists and feet.

It increases sharpness and defense, while the Red Dragon Body Technique can make Li Guanyi's punches and kicks weaken the scorching fire power. It cannot be used on ordinary weapons, and normal hundred-refined weapons cannot withstand the long-term infusion of fire power.

But the specific effect still needs to be tried in real battle. But I don't know if it is because I haven't really inherited the Yin-Yang family.

The Dharma image formed by the tortoise imprint left by Old Man Siming and the tortoise of who knows how old was looked so lazy that it didn't even show its head, let alone move. Li Guan thought of what the tortoise said about looking for him after entering the country, and he made up his mind to go look for him.

He recalled the scene he had just seen.

The black tortoise, the blank platform, the jade steps, and the faintly visible white jade seat in the distance. Li Guan subconsciously pressed the bronze tripod on his chest. He instinctively felt that the scene he saw was related to the bronze tripod.

The bronze tripod is almost full of jade liquid.

In just the short time it took to pass through the battlefield, it had filled the bronze tripod to 98% its capacity.

If it weren't for the last part which often required special methods to complete, or contact with a magical weapon, or a face-to-face demonstration of unique skills like Yue Qianfeng's to activate it, Li Guanyi felt that it would be more than enough to fill the cauldron directly.

Entering the country, jade liquid, Dharma image, what you see in dreams.

So many things came to mind at once.

Li Guanding calmed down and said, "Did I just break through here?"

Yaoguang replied: "No."

She said calmly, "We just went to the secret realm, but the star power there is too strong. Once it is stimulated, it will be bad for your recuperation. I brought you out. The message left by General Xue is that you must thoroughly master the realm of entry, practice the corresponding skills, and achieve some success."

"Come with me into the secret realm."

Li Guanyi raised his eyebrows.

Together with Yaoguang.

He thought of the records in the Poyun Zhentian Bow, the records of General Xue and Yaoguang of the Donglu Stargazing School five hundred years ago, and he understood a little bit. After all, now that he has entered the country, he should be able to get more inheritance from the Poyun Zhentian Bow again.

General Xue's arrow is so cold that it has always been Li Guanyi's trump card.

However, this will have to wait until we return to the Xue family.

There are more important things now.

Li Guanyi looked at the survivor, who was covered with a black bag.

He seemed extremely calm and never uttered a word.

"As expected of a killer..."

Li Guanyi exclaimed in praise.

Then he took off the bag on the killer's head and saw that his face was full of panic, his nose and face were swollen, and his mouth was wide open. He seemed to be shouting something, but there was a transparent stream of light that sealed his mouth tightly. He opened his mouth and kept shouting, but no sound came out.

This made him even more panicked, with fear in his eyes.

Li Guan was stunned, then turned to look at Yaoguang.

Yaoguang had put on his hood, revealing only two strands of silver hair and his smooth chin. He looked calm and said in a calm tone, "Don't let him see what happened just now. Don't let him make any noise when you are breaking through, so as not to disturb your rest. You can rest assured that you are safe just now."

Silently, the starlight on the killer's mouth dissipated.

The killer was able to make a sound, and he quickly shouted, "I'll tell you everything."

"As long as you let me go, you can destroy my martial arts, cut off my tongue and tendons, and make sure I won't tell anyone about your affairs!"

He breathed heavily and looked at the boy who was about thirteen or fourteen years old entering the country, and the white-haired girl.

Li Guanyi: "Shouldn't you keep it a secret?"

The killer retorted: "I only kill people for money. There is no need to sacrifice my own life. Killers are not dead warriors."

Li Guanyi didn't know whether this killer's behavior could be considered professional.

The killer calmed down and said, "I was the one who shot you in the shoulder with a crossbow. You kept me alive just to find out something. I can tell you everything I know, and you can also cut off my tongue and sever my tendons."

"But the last part must be written down and buried under a stone after I leave. Otherwise, I will die anyway. You must at least give me the possibility of survival, and then I will cooperate with you."

"Otherwise, I would rather you kill me now."

Li Guanyi was sure that this was a very professional guy.

Yaoguang said: "Please wait a moment."

She stretched out her white palm, and her fingers passed through the air, leaving a little golden light, which finally turned into an ancient pattern. She gently touched the killer's brow, and the latter's voice stagnated. Yaoguang turned sideways to look at Li Guanyi, her hair hanging down at her temples, and nodded and said softly:
"Now, you can ask."

"He won't tell a lie anymore."

There was panic in the killer's eyes.

Li Guanyi looked at the killer and asked, "Who are you? Where are you from?"

The killer answered decisively: "Wen Xi, a disciple of Xia Mo, from the Chen Kingdom."

There were many Mohist disciples, and when they dispersed, some of the Mohist disciples entered the more narrow path of chivalry, and the most extreme among them turned into killers.

Li Guanyi asked: "Who asked you to come?"

There was a trace of struggle on the killer's face: "Yes, yes... Prime Minister."

"Tantai Xianming."

"It is said that the Xue family is powerful, interfering in the affairs of the country, and has rebellious intentions towards Chen. Imperial Concubine Xue is pregnant. Once a prince is born, the power of the Xue family will surely turn the court upside down, causing the original queen to fall out of favor, and the imperial concubine's son to become the crown prince. This is a major event of deposing the eldest son and enthroning the youngest son."

"If we kill Xue Daoyong of the Xue family, we can also force Yue Qianfeng to retreat."

Li Guanyi wrote this down, thought about it, and said, "Do you have any evidence?"

"Are you still able to write a statement?"

Leave it to the old man.

Return the peach.

The killer turned pale and refused, "You cut the tendons of my hands and feet."

Li Guanyi was silent, regretting that he had acted so ruthlessly just now.

He subconsciously looked at Yaoguang.

Yaoguang looked at him.

Her gaze fell on the killer's face again, and she responded to Li Guanyi's needs in a calm voice without ripples: "I can use the Yin-Yang School's magic to leave his traces on the Qi, and then let the Qi fall into the jade. The jade will shatter and this scene can be reproduced."

Li Guan was overjoyed. He turned over and found the pill that Grandpa Xue Daoyong had given him.

Inside was a pill for healing and restoring vitality. Li Guanyi swallowed it directly and gave the jade bottle to Yaoguang. After letting the killer tell him everything with a defeated look on his face, Li Guanyi wanted to ask himself the most important question. He said, "Just now someone said that ten years ago..."

"Did you guys chase after a woman with a three-year-old child ten years ago?!"

The killer's face turned pale instantly.
