Alienated Martial Arts

The Luo water is flowing slowly.

And near Qingfeng Temple, a whirlpool suddenly appeared in the calm water.

They turned around and rushed into the newly formed ditch, washing and surging all the way, and even almost reached the door of Qingfeng Temple.

The long gravel road almost disappeared.

It turned into this newly formed tributary of Luoshui, with curious fish floating up and down, quietly poking their heads.

"How is Daozi feeling now?" The sound of treading water sounded, and Li Kun rushed to the bank of Luoshui River.

Wei Tao raised his head and said in a slightly weak voice, "The external and internal injuries on the body are not serious. It will take a little time to recover and the patient will recover.

It's just that the true meaning of martial arts that I condensed during the fight was broken and scattered, and the follow-up was a little troublesome. "

"Just watching Daozi's confrontation with Grandmaster Yangji, the old man really felt that his life had been in vain these past few decades."

While Li Kun was speaking, he had already come closer and sat down in the muddy water beside him.

His eyes moved down and landed on Wu Kuan, who was sitting on his knees in the pit, having died, with a rather complicated expression.

"From an ordinary person to becoming a master of Yangji step by step, this person's experience is absolutely extraordinary. Every bit of his journey can be written into a wonderful book, which will surprise and admire many warriors.

But fortunately, he died in the hands of Daozi after all. Even if the past was wonderful, it had gone with the wind and disappeared. "

Wei Tao took the pills from Li Kun and put them all into his mouth.

He closed his eyes and waited until the pills dissolved, then sighed and said slowly, "The Qinglian Sect's Yuesan people have a high level of cultivation and strong levels of strength. It will not be easy for me to win this battle.

In particular, this person's ultimate trump card move by Xu Huazhen really put me under tremendous pressure. "

After a pause, an inexplicable expression appeared on Wei Tao's face, "It's a pity that the agency was too clever and lost Yue San's life.

If he wasn't too cautious, maybe the final result would be that I could win, but I might not be able to really keep him, which is a bit sad to think about. "

Li Kun asked doubtfully, "Too cautious, what does Daozi mean?"

The effect of the pill began to take effect, Wei Tao exhaled a hot breath, and steam began to emit from his body.

He thought for a moment, "If this Qinglian Sect Yuesan is just a reckless man and just charges and fights regardless, I will definitely win this battle more difficultly.

It's a pity that he wanted to win me over at the lowest cost, so he went through all the troubles and delays to plan and prepare the Qinglian Secret Technique, in order to induce the weak water spirit of the land of death to suppress me.

As a result, he hit the iron plate and was swallowed up a lot of life. "

Li Kun was thoughtful and did not ask further questions, but nodded in deep agreement.

"Warriors are competing for life and death, fighting for a slim chance of survival. It is right to be cautious. After all, only carefulness can make the ten thousand year ship fly. Sometimes a moment of negligence can cost your own life, so you have to be cautious.

But if you are too cautious, you will become indecisive and bipolar, making it difficult to seize fleeting opportunities.

And if you don't know yourself and the enemy anymore and make mistakes in judgment, defeat and death will be inevitable. "

While talking, the two stood up from the bank of Luoshui River and slowly walked towards Qingfeng Temple.

"Daozi's great success really made the old Taoist full of admiration and envy."

Li Kun looked at the straight channel and couldn't help but sigh.

"I'll call on those bastards later to reinforce and expand the waterway that Daozi laid the foundation for, and lead it into the courtyard. It will be integrated with the artificial river of the Taoist temple. It can also be regarded as a souvenir attraction."

Wei Tao smiled slightly and said, "I also envy Uncle Li's ability to have a profound sense and be able to close the door and walk away freely."

"Daozi really praises me too much. Free and easy is definitely not considered. The old Taoist just feels that he is getting older and doesn't want to eat that shit anymore."

Li Kun picked up a fish out of the water and threw it into the ditch with a wry smile on his face.

He glanced at Wei Tao's suddenly weird expression, and after a moment of silence he sighed, "Daozi, please don't get me wrong, I have no other intention, it's just because my own mystical delusions are really deceptive.

The old Taoist clearly remembered the day when he broke through the mysterious realm, and asked Zuo Shi to prepare a sumptuous table as a reward for himself. However, as soon as he took a bite of his favorite braised bear paw, he felt like he was eating shit.

Even when I ran outside to vomit, I could smell the smell coming from the hut, but I couldn't help drooling. I thought the smell was very fragrant. This terrible experience scared me to the point of breaking into a cold sweat. Life is boring. "

The corners of Wei Tao's lips twitched, "Just listening to it is unbearable, and it's also hard for Uncle Li."

Li Kun patted his thigh and expressed deep agreement with this.

"Yeah, the key is that after I think about it again, my talent and qualifications are not very good, and the Hunyuan chapter, which is the most critical part of this sect, is missing. If this means that there is no hope of becoming a master of breaking the realm, I will have to endure this for the rest of my life. Tormented by delusions?

It's better to screw it, go back and enjoy life, that's the right thing to do. "

Wei Tao slowly operated the Vajra Secret Technique, and his body surface was surrounded by dark golden light.

Hearing this, he couldn't help but smile, "It's a pity that Uncle Li couldn't lie down when he wanted to, and finally stepped into the realm of Xuangan again."

After a pause, he then asked, "Can we go back this time?"

"This time, there is no going back."

Li Kun sighed secretly, "It's still that weird dream. The mysterious man in the dream sent me into the door, and even kicked me behind. As a result, I completely penetrated into the mysterious realm. I want to go back and find it again." I can’t see the way I came.”

Having said this, he suddenly fell silent and fell into thought.

After a moment, he considered it and said again, "The old Taoist thought of the experience of two profound senses, and suddenly felt something in his heart. I don't know if it can be helpful to the situation Daozi is facing."

Wei Tao said solemnly, "Uncle Li, please speak, I am all ears."

"Although the old Taoist has not entered the realm of martial arts masters who are transformed into gods and humans, he does not know the secrets contained in it, and he cannot figure out what the mystery is inside.

But the first time I entered Xuangan and then exited, this time in the dream where the delusions came after re-entering, I suddenly discovered that starting from the Guiyuan Gong, all the way to the Sixth Revolution of Xuan Yuan, and then to the Hunyuan Secret Record, the basics The exercises actually also have the true meaning of Xuan Nian.

Although after waking up from the dream, I no longer captured and perceived the corresponding mysterious thoughts, the scene in the dream was still vivid and clearly visible, leaving no doubt about its authenticity.

More importantly, these exercises have a vague spiritual connection, as if there is an invisible and intangible thread connecting them. At that time, I was thinking, if I could follow this thread to integrate them, and What kind of situation will happen.

I don’t know if other warriors have similar feelings, but if you think about the situation like me who experienced mystical sensation twice, even if it does happen, it should be very rare. "

Wei Tao looked at him silently, and after a long time he clasped his fists and bowed, saluting, "What Uncle Li said was very inspiring to me. It may be very useful when I gather the true meaning of martial arts again. Not only will I avoid many detours, but even There may be benefits from this.”

As he spoke, he stopped in front of the gate of Qingfeng Temple, "I won't go in. I have to ask Uncle Li to prepare some more medicinal pills, which can help me replenish my energy and recover from my injuries on the way."

"If Daozi wants to recover from his injuries, why not stay in the temple?"

Li Kun thought about it and gave a suggestion, "Whether it is the Green Bamboo Garden or the Qingfeng Hall where the old Taoist currently lives, there are special medicinal bath rooms inside. If the inside and outside are applied at the same time and the two-pronged approach is used, the effect will naturally be much better."

Wei Tao shook his head, "I also want to stop and recuperate for a while, but I don't dare to stay too long in the temple, lest I cause greater trouble to you."

He turned and looked to the north, his eyes deep and distant, "We killed the demons from the Green Lotus Sect who were going upstream, but there are still demons coming south from the northern wasteland that are about to arrive.

She seems to have come specifically for me, and has practiced some weird method. She can locate the energy mechanism through the spiritual will of Brahma, and then follow the traces to find my location.

So for me, the only option now is to run away, to stay away for the time being and let her shine. After the injury is healed and she is fully recovered, I can meet her on the same road and decide whether to live or die. "

Li Kun thought for a moment and made a decision immediately, "I will prepare the healing medicine that Daozi needs, and then ask Qingying and the others to escort Daozi back to Qinglin Mountain.

As long as he can enter the mountain gate and be protected by Dao Master Ning when the time comes, even if Grandmaster Yangji of Beihuang comes in person, Dao Zi will be safe! "

After the words fell, Li Kun left in a hurry.

Wei Tao was the only one left in front of the Taoist temple, silently staring at the broken stone hills and straight water channels left behind by the fight just now.

He recalled the Tortoise and Snake Xuanwu that was full of death and swallowed up life, as well as the long gray river that seemed to have no head or tail, flowing slowly, and he couldn't help but have many unsolved doubts in his heart.

That corpse lying across the dark void, intertwined with tortoises and snakes, does it really exist? If so, is it a corpse that has become stiff and cold?

What's even more frightening is that it can also devour life.

Not only the physical body, but also the spirit cannot escape.

Even except for the two of them, the flowers, plants and trees on the ground, as well as the birds flying in the sky were not spared.

Although in comparison, even if he and the Wu San people are sucked dry, it is just a drop in the bucket, and no change can be seen at all. But if thousands of creatures are sucked by it at the same time, what kind of situation will happen? ?

Wei Tao frowned and thought again.

Wu Sanren's final blow appeared in his mind.

Lotus flowers spread all over the ground, and lotus terraces rose.

A figure that looks like a god stands solemnly above.

It's movements are exactly the same as those of Wu Sanren. At the same time, it forms a seal and strikes forward.

"Yin deficiency and yang excess, from deficiency to excess."

Wei Tao thought silently and immersed himself in it.

Recalling the confrontation with that figure over and over again.

In his sight, although the thing seemed substantial and lifelike, it should be just an empty shell of illusion.

However, when his Yuantai Fist Seal actually came into contact with it, he was extremely surprised to find that it actually seemed to be an entity, rather than the illusory body he saw in his eyes.

What's more important is the lethality it unleashes.

If it weren't for the cross between turtles and snakes that broke through the sixty-level limit, the Henglian Grandmaster who only relied on the Vajra Secret Technique might have broken through the defense with that Green Lotus Seal, leaving indelible injuries on his body.

If we go further to deduce and simulate it, it is still unclear even if it breaks into pieces and turns into relics rolling around on the ground.

The sound of hurried footsteps sounded, and he soon arrived in front of the Taoist temple.

"My subordinates were ordered to escort Daozi back to the mountain."

Qingying is dressed in a smart outfit, looking heroic, capable and capable.

Behind her, two warriors followed with their burdens on their backs, each leading two horses with full saddles.

Another carriage with cotton curtains stopped at the roadside.

Qingying unfolded a fur cloak and helped Wei Tao put it on him, "Is Daozi riding a horse or riding a car?"

Wei Tao smiled gently and said, "Riding is faster, and you can return to the mountain gate as soon as possible. Taking a car is convenient for recovery and recovery, and you can calm down and think. It seems that there are so many choices, which is a bit embarrassing."

"Then just take a car."

Qingying suggested, "It is true that riding a horse is faster, but this carriage was designed and built by Uncle Li himself. The carriage is large and spacious. If four horses pull the carriage together, it will not be much slower."

Wei Tao nodded, "Then as you say, take the carriage back to the mountain gate."

Under the golden sunshine, the snow is melting rapidly.

Even the official road surface, which is regularly repaired, is full of mud and there are potholes of various sizes from time to time, making walking far less smooth than usual.

Wei Tao sat motionless in the carriage.

His eyes were half open and half closed, with divine light flickering inside.

In the depths of his consciousness, the shadow of an ink-colored lotus emerged, and the image of an intertwined turtle and snake slowly appeared. A black figure stood in it, a trinity, integrated into one place.

Suddenly, his mind trembled slightly.

Everything is like a dream bubble, like dew or lightning, they all disappear.

Wei Tao opened his eyes at this moment, feeling exhausted and weak, and just wanted to fall asleep.

He grabbed a handful of pills and put them into his mouth to replenish the energy needed to recover from his injuries.

The wounds on the surface of the body are slowly healing, and they are getting better and better visible to the naked eye. If this trend continues, it may not take long for them to return to their original state.

This is the powerful physical body brought about by the superposition of the secret method of Vajra and the intertwining of turtles and snakes.

Even though he has not yet reached the Yang pole state and cannot possess the characteristics of reversing vitality, in terms of recovery ability, he is already as good as the great master of Yin pole and Yang generation.

Wei Tao observed carefully. After a moment, he folded his hands and touched his fingers.

Suddenly, it was like gold and iron clashing, creating a melodious sound.

He slowly exhaled a breath, looking for pills that could calm his mind and relieve the severe headache caused by condensing the true meaning of martial arts.

At the same time, Li Kun's words in front of Qingfengguan kept echoing in his ears.

Wei Tao was not surprised at all that the basic skills of Yuan Dao also corresponded to Xuan Nian.

After all, he is a living example himself.

The true meaning of Turtle and Snake intertwining is the embodiment of pushing up the basic chapter of Xuanwu True Interpretation all the way up.

What really concerned Wei Tao was Li Kun's statement about the threads between the skills, the parts and the whole.

It was indeed a great inspiration to him.

More recently, in condensing the true meaning of martial arts, one can try to reproduce them one by one with treacherous threads, and then connect them with each other in artistic conception, integrating them into an indistinguishable whole.

You can even build on this.

Explore whether you can find a new path and take this opportunity to incorporate all the non-Buddhist teachings you have practiced.

And if we think about it further, if we can perceive and capture the corresponding mysterious thoughts of the Rengui Chapter, the Qisu Chapter, and even the Ming Dynasty Chapter, and integrate them all into the Turtle and Snake Intersection, what kind of scene will appear? What kind of situation?

Do it as soon as you think of it, without any delay.

Wei Tao mustered up his energy and began to comprehend and reproduce the artistic conception of the secret method of King Kong through the mysterious silk threads.

Then after taking a few breaths, he leaned directly on the soft cushion and fell asleep.

Even if the carriage bumped along the way, there was no reaction.

Colorful purples and reds, mountains and seas of flowers.

He blinked and looked at the scene in front of him with some confusion.

Quietly, a figure in white clothes and skirt loomed, agile and ethereal.

Immediately afterwards, the familiar bone altar appeared silently, standing among the flowers in the distance.

The girl in white slowly climbed up to the altar and sat down on it, as if she had become one with it.

"You have advanced to the realm of a master who is the reincarnation of heaven and humans, but you still haven't gotten rid of your original mysterious thoughts?"

Wei Tao frowned slightly and carefully observed the bone altar and the girl in white who seemed to be not far away but could not get close.

Suddenly, his eyes narrowed slightly and he noticed something unusual.

Compared to the scene in his memory, the figure of the girl in white seems to have become much more unreal.

It was as if a gust of wind could blow her away.

Even the skeleton altar under him is no longer as crystal clear and as white as jade as it was before. Instead, it has a dim luster, showing a grayish appearance.

Wei Tao looked away from the altar, lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

After a while, he made a new discovery.

There were a few petals scattered around the feet, which seemed to have lost their vitality and lacked the bright colors they once had.

And in places blocked by flowers, you can also see a large number of withered petals, showing a dark and dead atmosphere.

Wei Tao can be sure that this kind of situation has never occurred in the previous mysterious thoughts.

Click!

Suddenly, a soft cracking sound came into my ears.

He followed the sound and saw that at the base of the Bone Altar, a crack appeared from scratch and quickly spread towards the surrounding area.

Along with it, undisguised malice spread out from the cracks.

"Gong Yuan said before he died that this is not an altar of bones, but a cage that seals the town."

"So, because of the changes in the woman in white and the boundless sea of ​​flowers, the things sealed in the cage will be exposed?"

Wei Tao's face was expressionless, and he inexplicably remembered the woman holding a paper umbrella he met at Guishufang Manor.

She also once mentioned that strength alone is not enough. When he becomes a master of horizontal training with the secret method of Vajra, that is when the real misfortune begins.

So, is the bad luck she mentioned related to this bone altar?

The soft clicking sound is endless.

The cracks in the base of the altar are still expanding.

Wei Tao remained silent and waited quietly.

At the same time, he was also feeling the increasingly intense malice escaping from the cracks in the spiderweb-like secret book.

Time passed little by little.

Perhaps in delusion, the passage of time has no proper meaning.

After an unknown amount of time, the sound quietly disappeared.

The cracks also stopped spreading at this time.

There seemed to be a gust of dark wind, and in an instant the flowers fell like rain and withered all over the ground.

The girl in white sitting on the altar still did not move, but her figure became a little more unreal.

"So it turns out that the girl in white and the Bone Altar are hostile."

"She and the endless sea of ​​flowers are one, sealing and suppressing the Altar of Bones."

"If the girl in white is really the corpse enshrined in the Luocha clan's ancestral hall, what could be in the bone altar?"

"So, what is the reason that caused the sea of ​​flowers to decline and the altar to crack?"

Possibilities flashed through Wei Tao's mind, and finally his thoughts suddenly came to mind, and he thought of the "corpse" intertwined with tortoises and snakes devouring life.

Could it be that there is life here that can be swallowed and absorbed, which is why the figure of the girl in white is illusory, the sea of ​​flowers withered and decayed, and the things in the altar cannot be tightly sealed and suppressed as before?

At this moment, Wei Tao's body suddenly shook, and he came out of his delusion without any warning.

The carriage stopped.

Qingying's voice was very low, coming in through the side window of the carriage, "Daozi, in the wilderness ahead, there seems to be a martial arts master who was transformed from heaven to man. He stood there motionless, as if he had a great interest in us. Great wariness and hostility.”

"Oh? Just returning to Qinglin Mountain from Qingfeng Temple, you can meet a martial arts master on the way?"

A flash of light flashed in Wei Tao's eyes, and he actually sensed the unique energy of the master warrior. He didn't hide it much and allowed it to flow out in all directions.

No wonder even Qingying and others could notice it.

The tip of his nose twitched, and he faintly smelled a scent of blood, which drifted down the wind from the front.

The martial arts master seemed to have been seriously injured, so he could not control the surging true energy and blood, exposing himself to the outside.

Wei Tao was quite curious, so he opened the cotton curtain, opened the car door a crack, and looked forward.

At a glance, he couldn't help but be slightly startled, and began to search for the already vague name in his memory.

After a few breaths.

Beiwu clearly saw the figure getting out of the car and finally let out a long sigh of relief. He didn't realize that his back was completely soaked in cold sweat.

In the carriage, two figures sat opposite each other.

Wei Tao asked, "Last time I left Beixu Town, didn't my senior go to Baiming Mountain to look for clan treasures? How could he suddenly appear here and be so seriously injured?"

Beiwu took a few healing pills, with a bitter expression on his face, "Don't mention it, I didn't find anything, but I met a grandmaster who came south from Beihuang. I had a fight with that woman and hit her a few times. Thorn, the injury is almost unbearable now."

Wei Tao nodded and asked again, "Senior, are you going south all the way to seek revenge against the Beihuang Grandmaster?"

"Young master, you are joking. In a situation like this, how can I go to seek revenge on her again?"

When Beiwu said this, he sighed helplessly, "Now I just hope that I can return to Southern Xinjiang before I die. It can be regarded as returning to my roots without leaving my bones in other places."

"Is Senior's injury so serious?"

Wei Tao frowned slightly, his eyes flashed, and he endured his headache and looked at his eyes and breath, "What are the Youshen thorns? Is it just those few thin threads that keep wandering in the senior's internal organs, but are as one with the flesh and blood?" ?”

Bei Wu listened and sat up straight unconsciously, "Young Master can actually sense the existence of the Netherworld Thorn?"

Wei Tao replied, "I can barely feel it now. If it takes a while, when they are truly integrated with your body, I won't be able to see them."

"Since the Young Master can discover the Netherworld Thorn, is there any way to extract it from your lower body?"

When Bei Wu spoke again, his voice was trembling slightly.

"There is a way, it just depends on whether senior can accept it."

"I still have things to do that I have to do, and I never want to fall into the abyss of despair at this time, so as long as I can survive, I can accept anything."

"In this case, is it acceptable for senior to become my subordinate and be bound by me?"

Beiwu took a deep breath and exhaled heavily, "As long as you can save my life, I will be willing to serve you as my master from now on. If I have any intention of going back on my word, I will definitely die without a burial place and my soul will not be able to enter the moon." Wolf Ancestor Hall.”

"It doesn't need to be so scary."

Wei Tao smiled slightly, and a wisp of crimson thread quietly emerged from his fingertips, "I don't have anything to do, senior. The most I can do is let you live in a certain place for a period of time to protect the peace there."

…………

………………

The capital city of Qizhou is a hundred miles to the north.

The place where the Acropolis is located.

The sun rises high, spreading its light and heat all over the earth.

There are gradually more and more pedestrians on the streets, and various shops are opening their doors to welcome customers. Some even put out the New Year goods prepared in advance to attract the attention of customers.

Everything looks beautiful, full of the atmosphere of human fireworks.

But for Luo Qingjun, he felt something uncomfortable that was difficult to describe in words.

She walked out of the courtyard where she lived, walked through the narrow alley, and came to a breakfast shop.

Looking at the standard dishes of the diners around her, she also ordered a bowl of rice porridge and two steamed buns, and ate them slowly with pickles.

Luo Qingjun ate very slowly and carefully.

No food was wasted.

After eating, she did not leave immediately, but sat there in silence, wondering what she was thinking.

The top of the gatehouse of the city wall in the distance.

Under the light of the pale golden sun, the mist is looming.

No one, whether it was the residents of the city or the soldiers guarding the city, noticed the existence of this mist, let alone the skinny figure hidden in it.

"It seems that Ning Xuanzhen has been very busy recently."

Luo Qingjun sighed secretly, finally got up from his seat, and returned to the ordinary courtyard along the original path.

"Does Master Luo continue to wait?"

Quietly, Gui Shufang's voice slowly sounded in his consciousness.

Luo Qingjun smiled faintly, "Senior Gui can wait for thirty years, so what does my short one or two days mean?"

After a pause, she sighed again, "Ever since I sensed Ning Xuanzhen's aura, I had a good sleep last night like an ordinary person, and then suddenly I became curious. Senior Gui only survives in the world with his true spirit. What a feeling."

Gui Shufang was silent for a long time, "I died in the battle of Luoshui River, and I awakened my true spirit from the despair and death. After that, I was confused and confused for who knows how long.

It was not until later that he gradually understood the truth, eliminated human desires, and embarked on the current path step by step. During this period, all kinds of pain and fear were really not enough to be explained to outsiders. "

"Really? I don't feel the same way, so I can't understand the pain of Gui-senpai."

Luo Qingjun took off his coat, lay back on the bed, and slowly closed his eyes.

Not long after, she suddenly sat up straight again, looking through the half-closed dilapidated wooden door and looking outside.

"There is actually a sharp and cold sword intent coming from west to east. Could it be that in addition to Brahma's spiritual intent, Senior Gui's true spirit also attracted the attention of the Xiji Zangjian Pavilion?"

"My true spirit is not that attractive yet. What's more, Master Luo's Qi is as strong as a stone. Even Ning Xuanzhen can't detect your traces. The swordsman master wants to discover my existence, but he can't. Not that easy.

So in my opinion, the other party either came because he sensed the aura of Master Yuan Dao, or there were other things near the Acropolis that interested him. "

Gui Shufang's voice suddenly stopped at this moment, and when it appeared again, there was a hint of confusion.

"Unseen, unheard, untouched, silent, colorless, formless, and without quality, it turned out to be the meaning of returning to the void that even my pure true spirit could hide. Could it be that in addition to the master of swordsmanship, there is a third person who came to Wei Near the city?"
