Alienated Martial Arts

In the winter afternoon, the warm sun hangs in the sky.

Qinglin Mountain is bathed in light gold.

Several birds were jumping up and down in the hall, chirping non-stop.

Two fat cats exposed their bellies and were basking in the sun on the wall not far away.

The two sides live in harmony, do not invade each other, and no one looks at the other.

Two female disciples walked along the wall, quietly sprinkled a handful of rice, opened the oil paper bags in their hands, and threw a few pieces of leftover meat from lunch beside them.

The birds fell down one after another and happily pecked at the rice.

He even dared to fly around the female benefactor, not showing any signs of fear.

In contrast, the tabby cat looks much colder.

After a while, he jumped off the wall and slowly came to the minced meat. He scratched the bricks with his paws for a while, then lowered his head and reluctantly started eating.

“It’s good to eat some, and you dare to pick and choose!”

"That's right, I won't secretly feed you again if I keep doing this."

Although the female disciple muttered and rubbed her smooth tabby cat's back with her hands, she still looked satisfied and enjoying herself.

Suddenly, one of them seemed to feel something was wrong.

He hurriedly pulled the corner of his companion's clothes and motioned her to look in a certain direction.

The two of them turned their heads slowly, and were stunned on the spot as if they had been immobilized.

"Tao, hello, Master Tao."

"I've met Wei Daozi."

They stammered and murmured.

His face turned red, and he didn't know where to put his hands.

"It's okay, you are busy with your business, don't worry about us."

Wei Tao retracted his gaze to look up at the northern sky, with a gentle smile on his face, "Taoist Master and I have nothing to do, so we are here to take a look at the sky."

"Sky view?"

The female disciple subconsciously turned her head, followed their gazes, and immediately said something nice, "The sky is clear and blue, the wind is gentle, and the sky is bright above and below. The Taoist Master and Taoist disciples are arty and elegant, which really makes the disciples admire and worship them." extremely."

Wei Tao was startled for a moment, then smiled and said, "This little girl is very interesting to talk to. I will definitely become a great person in the future."

At this point, he asked again, "Look at the sky in the north, have you seen any changes compared to before?"

She stared at the sky and said decisively, "Of course there are changes, the changes are huge."

"oh?"

Ning Xuanzhen, who had been silent all this time, immediately withdrew his gaze and asked slowly, "Can you even notice the changes? It seems that this time the matter is indeed big."

Wei Tao frowned, "Tell me, what exactly is the change?"

Being stared at by the two men, she suddenly became even more nervous.

He kept rubbing the corners of his clothes with his fingers and said cautiously, "To answer Daozi, a few days ago there were still dark clouds, strong winds and heavy snowfall, but these days the wind has stopped and the snow has subsided, the clouds have cleared and the sun has cleared. It should be considered a big change. ."

"What you said makes sense. It is indeed a big change."

Wei Tao slowly exhaled a breath and looked up at the northern sky again.

In his eyes, it was completely different from what she saw.

The golden light at the end of the northern sky is like a colorful cloud reflecting the sky, showing a beautiful scenery that ordinary people cannot see.

But within this extreme splendor, there is also an image of unrest.

It's like a sign of prosperity and decline, and a long-lasting union that will inevitably break up.

Suddenly, there seemed to be a soft click.

It appeared in the hearts of Ning Xuanzhen and Wei Tao at the same time.

The expressions of the two people suddenly changed again.

Ning Xuanzhen immediately closed his eyes, formed the Hunyuan Wuji Seal with his hands, and faced the north in trance.

Wei Tao flashed his figure and reached the top of Qinglin Hall in an instant.

He formed the Flame Lotus Seal, and the red lotus karma fire quietly emerged from the sea of ​​consciousness. At the same time, he used the gazing spirit and qi technique with all his strength, and looked at the golden light with a clear light in his eyes.

Click!

There was another soft sound.

It also seemed to appear directly in Wei Tao's heart.

He looked far away and felt an inexplicable feeling, surging deep in his consciousness. He didn't know when it would break through the barrier and form a huge wave.

Click!

At this moment, the third crisp sound came.

Wei Tao's eyes suddenly focused, and he could vaguely see a faint crack appearing in the depths of the golden glow, and it no longer looked as unified as before.

Although the crack is extremely small and almost invisible, as long as it really exists, it will be a major event that will collapse the sky for the Northern Wilderness Golden Tent.

Gudong!

He swallowed subconsciously.

That inexplicable feeling of excitement quietly emerged from the deepest part of his consciousness again.

Wei Tao took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

Falling into a state of extreme contradiction.

On the one hand, he was still very full, and there was a feeling of fullness all over his body.

But at this moment, facing the changes in the golden glow, he suddenly felt extremely hungry.

It was as if the fire of hunger from the depths of his soul was constantly burning his spirit, and he couldn't resist it even if he would starve to death if he continued to eat.

"I have to speed up the practice of other exercises. If I continue like this, I'm afraid I will become a lunatic who only knows how to eat.

If that's the case, what's the difference between them and those mindless zombies? "

"Xuanwu Taoist Master Feng Xun is wrong. We still don't know if the mysterious silk threads are causing great harm, but he can't see such an obvious problem as a turtle and a snake intertwining?"

"It's still wrong, but I can't blame Feng Yan for being short-sighted. After all, he didn't advance the turtle-snake cross all the way to more than ninety levels like me, so it's normal that he can't see things hidden deeper."

Thoughts kept flashing through Wei Tao's mind, while he was still carefully observing the golden glow in the northern sky.

Just after three crisp sounds like glass cracking, there were no other changes, and they were gradually fading away, and it seemed that the sky would return to normal.

"After celebrating the New Year and meeting my parents, I will look for an opportunity to go to the Northern Wilderness again to see what happened there and whether it is related to the so-called Xuanbinghai cultivator."

Wei Tao thought of the blessed land of Bingquan Mountain not long ago.

If those mysterious and weird Xuanbinghai warriors really crossed the Northern Wilderness and came to the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty in groups, it would be quite troublesome even if he encountered them. Therefore, he must think and act in front in order to be in front of the current situation. Be prepared for unexpected changes and take advantage of them.

However, the Northern Wilderness Golden Tent is very powerful and has a lot of masters in each department. Coupled with the existence of the secret sect, it is indeed beyond imagination that a black ice sea can cause such great turbulence in Brahma's spiritual mind.

Wei Tao thought silently, waiting for the golden glow to disappear.

However, at this moment, a very light black color appeared quietly and appeared in the golden light.

It casts a faint haze over the golden light at the end of the sky.

It was like a drop of ink was thrown into the water, creating ripples around it.

While disrupting the golden glow, it also injects dark and chaotic colors.

And with the appearance of that ink color, the golden light that was gradually fading and fading suddenly surged, hitting the darkness again and again.

"This weird feeling."

"As if being pulled by that black color, the entire mountain gate is breathing in rhythm with it."

"Could it be that the things under Qinglin Mountain have something to do with the black color that appears in Brahma's spiritual mind?"

"Could this black mass like ink be the abyss of darkness opposite Brahma's birthplace?"

Wei Tao's heart suddenly moved, and he turned his head to look towards the canyon under the cliff of Guanyuntai.

He saw the earth's energy surging, as if accompanied by a tsunami, and the huge waves had enveloped the entire Yuanyi inner gate in an instant.

"Xiao Tao, there is a problem in the secret area of ​​​​the mountain gate. I must go to guard and suppress it immediately."

At this moment, Ning Xuanzhen's voice sounded slowly, as if he was still suppressing some pain, "Let Senior Sister Yu handle the matter between you and Xiaoxu at her own discretion. You can rest assured."

"What does the Tao Master need his disciples to do?" Wei Tao only asked this question.

After all, when faced with the major changes in the dense land and the surge of earth energy, the first thing that Dao Master Ning thought of was the private affairs of his disciples, which really made people don't know what to say.

"You don't have to do anything. Just remember to toast me with Xiao Yu when you come back."

Ning Xuanzhen just smiled, and then said in a serious tone, "Remember, if there is any unmanageable situation, just take the people and escape from the path.

The mountain gate is just a broken house made of stones and wood. If it is lost, it is lost. It is no big deal. But if a person dies, he will never be resurrected. Do you remember? "

"Disciple remembers it."

Wei Tao nodded. Just when he was about to ask how to guard and suppress the secret area, he suddenly froze in the Qinglin Hall.

The next moment, he felt hostility again.

It's even richer and clearer than when you go deep into the underground passage, as if it's substantial.

More importantly, in addition to hostility, he also had the strange feeling of being watched secretly.

It was as if someone was really hiding in the darkness, casting a hostile gaze on him.

The delusional thoughts that had not appeared for a long time suddenly appeared without any warning.

Quietly, Yuan Yiyi disappeared, Qinglin Mountain also disappeared, and even the cloudless, blue sky became completely different at this moment.

"Is it possible that the thing under Qinglin Mountain is still alive?"

Wei Tao suddenly narrowed his eyes and saw a pair of golden vertical pupils occupying a large area of ​​the sky, looking down at him from a high position.

Gudong!

He swallowed a lot of saliva and neither dodge nor retreat. Instead, he straightened his body and looked at those huge golden eyes without giving up.

Time passed quietly.

I don’t know how long it took.

Maybe just for a brief moment.

Suddenly everything was back to normal.

The pair of golden pupils disappeared, and Qinglin Shanyuan returned to Wei Tao's eyes again.

He slowly exhaled a breath, casually sat down on the roof of Qinglin Hall, and looked at the rows of buildings at the mountain gate, feeling a little dazed for a moment.

"Those golden eyes may be related to the things under the Qinglin Mountain."

"But I really want to eat it."

Wei Tao raised his hand to wipe away the non-existent saliva and fell into thought again.

"I remember that Senior Sister Ni once said that the Taoist master who is reborn as a martial arts master has an inseparable relationship with Brahma's rebirth in heaven. All the pain he suffered later was also caused by the spiritual power of Brahma.

However, judging from the changes in Brahma in the Northern Wilderness today and the appearance of the Dark Abyss, it is actually more likely that the Dark Abyss has had an impact on the Tao Master. "

“No, I didn’t grasp the real point and didn’t get to the root of the problem.

Thinking about it on a deeper level, perhaps it is not the Taoist master who was affected by the Dark Abyss, but the source of Qinglin Mountain's earth energy, which seems to be involved with the Dark Abyss.

No wonder the Taoist master and Granny Yu have always been very cautious in Senior Sister Ni's practice. Instead of urging her to work hard, they have delayed her practice again and again, spending a lot of time just practicing Zang Zang Perfection. "

Thinking of this, Wei Tao's heart suddenly moved.

He and Dao Master Ning both had clear perceptions of the surge of earth energy just now. So, has Senior Sister Ni, who is in the realm of Xuangan, been affected by the erosion of delusions?

He stood up suddenly and came to His Highness Qinglin in one step. His figure flashed out afterimages, and in an instant he was in front of the courtyard where Ni Xun lived.

Wei Tao was about to reach out and knock on the door, but stopped at the last moment.

He gathered all his energy and held his breath to feel carefully.

This small courtyard seems to have a life of its own, breathing according to a specific rhythm.

At this moment, there was a soft squeaking sound.

The courtyard door was gently opened from inside.

A tall and slender figure stood behind the door and looked over with a smile.

The two people's eyes met in vain, and they met at the same place, as if they were inseparable from each other.

Wei Tao stared at those quiet and deep eyes, and seemed to see a fleeting pale golden light.

Gudong!

Almost uncontrollably, he swallowed secretly.

Looking at the senior sister standing there quietly, for the first time in my life, I wanted to understand what "beautiful and delicious" meant.

After a few breaths, Wei Tao slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, put away the inexplicable thoughts rising in his heart, and showed a joyful smile on his face, "Congratulations, senior sister, congratulations, senior sister, for becoming a martial arts master through natural sympathetic transformation."

"Junior Brother Wei, follow me."

Ni Hao stepped forward, took his sleeve and entered the door, sitting down on both sides of the stone table in the center of the yard.

She took a tea cup from the house and poured a cup of tea for each of them.

Wei Tao picked up the cup and took a sip, "Senior sister has just entered the profound sense when winter comes, and before the New Year's Day, she has entered the master level of interaction between heaven and man. With such advancement, she can definitely be regarded as the number one disciple in the sect."

"Compared with my junior brother's achievements, I am nothing."

Ni Hao smiled, his expression remained calm, even a little calm.

Holding the porcelain cup in both hands, she said slowly and thoughtfully, "Ever since I entered the mountain gate, I have always had a fairly accurate perception of my progress in cultivation.

For example, when the Qi and blood will be transformed, when the internal organs training will be completed, even the last time I went down the mountain to enter the profound sense, they are all within my prediction and control. "

Ni Xun raised his head and suddenly sighed, "However, this time I captured the true meaning of the mysterious thoughts and became a master through the interaction between heaven and man, it was completely beyond my expectations.

This feeling is like the mysterious idea corresponding to the secret method inherited by my sect is right in front of me. I can get it in my hand with just a touch. It is easier than effortless. "

"Junior Brother Wei, do you know that I was actually retreating at the last moment?"

She put down the cup of tea in her hand and helped Wei Tao refill it, "Facing the realm of a master at my fingertips, my first feeling was not joy, but doubt.

Although I have always thought highly of myself, I believe that with my talents, qualifications and perseverance, there is absolutely no doubt that I will become a Yuanyi Grandmaster.

But it shouldn’t be like this now. It’s not me who has to work hard to climb up, but I haven’t reached the mountain yet, but the mountain has come to me. The plum blossoms have already bloomed despite the bitter cold. "

Ni Hao watched Wei Tao slowly drink tea, while he kept holding the tea cup that was getting colder.

"I still remember that before I went down the mountain for the first time, my mother-in-law once said to me that if you show courtesy for nothing, you are either an adulterer or a thief."

"So I don't want such a martial arts master."

“However, just because the goal that I dreamed of was right in front of me and could be obtained so easily, I hesitated for a moment.

Then, when I thought about closing the door and leaving like the master of Qingfeng Guanli, the true meaning of the Hunyuan chapter of Xuanyuan, which was as strong as substance, actually took the initiative to penetrate into the depths of my consciousness, and I didn't even have time to hide. Get out of the way. "

"Junior brother, in this situation, what do you think I should do next?"

She lowered her eyes, and her voice sounded a little confused for the first time, losing the firm and clear look before.

"No matter what, if it falls into Senior Sister's hands, it belongs to Senior Sister."

Wei Tao turned his head to the north, and after a moment he looked in the direction of Qinglin Back Mountain, and finally his eyes fell on Ni Hao, "Taking a step back, even if there is indeed a problem with the true meaning of martial arts, senior sister does not need to have any problems. Worry and anxiety.

If anyone dares to come over and stab him, my junior brother will stand up and beat him to death. Senior sister only needs to watch from behind. "

After a pause, he took a deep breath and said, "Even if it's that thing underground, if it knows what's interesting, forget it. If it's ungrateful, as long as you give me some time to grow and develop, my junior brother can smash it to pieces and eat it thoroughly." ."

"Where did Junior Brother Wei go?"

"I'll settle for it now. What I'm thinking about is not whether there will be any changes in the future. It's that this breakthrough and improvement are completely beyond my control, and I feel a little confused for a while.

After all, the teacher has said before that the worst thing is to endure it. If you can't endure it, then you will die. I am not afraid of enduring it or dying, so there is no problem. "

As she spoke, she looked directly into Wei Tao's eyes, "Junior Brother Wei has long told me that we would practice a method together. I have fought against Northern Wilderness warriors repeatedly before, and then I broke through and stepped into the Mysterious Sense. The spirit has never reached perfection, so it has been delayed.

But today, the senior sister has broken through the realm of Grandmaster, and all the worries above have been eliminated in one fell swoop. "

Ni Xun smiled sweetly as he spoke, suddenly blooming like a hundred flowers, extremely beautiful, "Junior Brother Wei must have been waiting impatiently."

…………

……………………

The northern wilderness, the top of the snow-capped mountains.

There are majestic halls standing there.

This is the mountain gate of the Tantric Cult, and it is also one of the several holy places in the Northern Wasteland.

There is a tall and majestic building near the edge of the cliff.

The gilded windows and carved window lattice seem to have spiritual light flowing slowly.

The dome is inlaid with two rows of pearls that are extremely rare in the Northern Wasteland. The faint golden light shines down, making the entire hall look like day.

Under each pearl stands an incense burner and a tripod.

curls of light smoke rose from it, filling the entire hall with an intoxicating and fragrant fragrance.

Under the bright golden light, the carvings on the four walls of the hall and the huge pillars are lifelike.

The glow is brilliant, flowers are falling from the sky, and golden lotuses are blooming on the ground.

It is like a historical picture scroll full of vicissitudes of life, slowly unfolding as you go deeper into the temple.

There was a crunching sound.

The door of the main hall was slowly pushed open.

A young man wearing a white monk's robe walked in from outside.

He walked all the way through the carpet on the floor and came to the deepest wall.

Facing dozens of Buddha statues of different shapes, the young man slowly sat cross-legged and chanted silently.

The statues have different expressions including joy, anger, sorrow, sadness and melancholy.

What's more important is that they are as vivid as living people, even the pupils and hair are vivid, not like they are carved from stone, wood or metal.

Time passed little by little.

Snapped!

Without any warning, a bright pearl was covered with cracks and quickly dimmed.

Immediately afterwards, snapping and crunching sounds sounded at the same time, in a series.

The entire hall suddenly became pitch black, falling into darkness that made it impossible to see even one's fingers.

An inexplicable sense of depression filled all the space.

There seemed to be an inexplicable aura flowing quietly, like the water of an underground river surging endlessly.

Although the hall was empty, there seemed to be countless eyes focusing on the young monk in white clothes.

The young man opened his eyes at this moment and looked up.

In the deepest part of the darkness, dozens of pairs of eyes lit up, exactly matching the gaze he had just focused on.

"Many years have passed, and I finally waited for this day to come."

He straightened up little by little, with a gentle smile on his face.

Click!

Click, click, click!

Following the young man's movements, all the statues slowly turned their heads, their eyes still focused on him.

This feeling of being stared at by lifelike silent faces with different expressions will definitely make people feel extremely uncomfortable. In an instant, they will feel cold all over the body and have a layer of fine goosebumps.

But the young man seemed unaware, and the smile on his face even grew wider and wider, even giving rise to a ferocious and twisted feeling.

Even the snow-white clothes he wore became as dark as ink at this moment, as if they were completely integrated with the surging darkness in the hall, no longer distinguishable from each other.

Boom!

Suddenly a thunder exploded from outside.

Immediately afterwards, the closed palace door was pushed open heavily.

Two monks in red clothes and skinny faces stepped in.

"Who is causing trouble in the temple where all the masters of all generations sit and transform?"

"You actually, you actually have a Zen heart!?"

The old monk on the left looked at the young man, and his expression suddenly changed.

The eyes of the other old monk were equally focused, staring at the darkness surging in the deepest part of the hall, as if something suddenly cracked in his heart, making a crisp sound.

"This feeling is actually the black abyss of Brahma suppressing the opposition?"

He took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, raised his hand and pointed forward, "Zen Xin, as a Buddhist disciple of the Tantra, you must not let evil sycophants erode your mind and disrupt the purity of the spiritual platform!"

"The sea of ​​suffering is boundless, but turning back is the end. You have not been deeply affected by the abyss of darkness, and it is still too late to turn back now!"

"The two guardian elders are wrong."

Zen Heart smiled slightly, as if holding a flower, "Disciples know that the sea of ​​suffering is boundless, and turning back will lead to the shore. But what is the sea of ​​suffering and where is the shore? If you can't understand these two questions, the so-called maxims and scriptures are just lies. That’s all.”

"It's simply treason and nonsense!"

The old monk sneered, "Then please ask Zen Heart Buddha to tell us what is the sea of ​​suffering and how can we turn back?"

"Uncle Mengjie may not know yet, but our secret sect was originally born out of the abyss of darkness, and the so-called Brahma spiritual mind is the outsider behind.

If you cannot see clearly the illusion, you can only be deceived by the illusion, and you are in a sea of ​​suffering without realizing it. This is considered a violation of the teachings of the Holy Religion, and you will not be able to achieve bliss and freedom even after death. "

"Now the Lord of the Golden Account has launched the Brahma Jiao several times at all costs. Even if he can suppress the Xuanbinghai rebellion, it has greatly consumed the existence of Brahma's spiritual energy. This is how we break through the illusion and return to the world. The best opportunity!”

Zen Heart walked forward step by step, and darkness surged crazily behind him, submerging himself into many lifelike statues.

Click!

Click, click, click!

Dense cracks spread on the surface of the statue, revealing the golden bodies inside.

The next moment, as the dark atmosphere continued to be injected, their movements became stiff and they stood up little by little.

Zen Xin's smile was distorted, and he slowly raised his hand and tapped it gently towards the door.

Uh-huh!

Meng Jie's eyes suddenly flashed with flowers,

It was as if he had had a dream.

It was like walking in endless darkness, with the sound of howling ghosts and wolves all around.

The darkness kept eroding his body, and even his steadfast mind that had been practicing Zen for decades.

When he felt exhausted and could hardly hold on, he finally came to a twisted figure sitting cross-legged on an ink-colored lotus platform.

Meng Jie stood there in a daze, and a sudden enlightenment arose in his heart.

That dark lotus platform may be the end of his trip.

It may also be the end of his life.
