Alienated Martial Arts

A firework bloomed in the sky.

It illuminates the dark night sky.

Not long after, another firework soared into the sky, exploding into a huge cloud of brilliant colors.

Wei Tao was half lying on the roof of Qingyang Hall, looking at the beautiful scenery at the end of his sight, feeling peaceful and peaceful.

In the small dining room not far away, the banquet continued.

It has to be said that Elder Wan is definitely a good person to liven up the atmosphere. He and Wei Rongxing had a lively chat from beginning to end, and they were closer than long-lost brothers.

There were also Elder Chong, Deacon Mu and others accompanying him.

Both of them are also refined old men from Shanmen. Although they don't talk much, every word they say is just right. It makes people feel comfortable hearing it unconsciously.

Coupled with the fact that Mu Fang, the leader of the Sancai sect, had honey oil on his lips and had an uncle every mouthful, this reunion dinner was even more lively and happy than at home.

On another table.

Zheng Suyun and Granny Yu sat in the middle.

On both sides is Wei Xun, and on the other side is Ni Hao.

Several people chatted in low voices and laughed from time to time. They didn't know what Zheng Suyun said to make them so happy.

"Daozi, the food and wine are ready."

The voice of Deacon Shen from the inner gate sounded from below, followed by Han Luyi. The two of them each carried huge packed food boxes in their hands and arrived at the door of Qingyang Hall.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Wei Tao jumped down from the room, took the food box and wine jar, and quickly disappeared into the depths of the night.

He walked along the road to the Cloud Observation Platform, then fell straight from the top and entered the valley under the cliff.

Shortly after.

The source of earth energy is close to the gap.

Two figures sat opposite each other, and the bluestone in the middle was filled with steaming dishes.

"You kid, I told you not to come over, why don't you listen?

I can absorb the earth energy here without feeling hungry, and I can drink mountain spring water without feeling thirsty. There is no need for me to eat three meals a day as usual. "

Ning Xuanzhen picked up the wine cup and drank slowly. He spoke rudely and scolded him right away.

"Master Tao, don't talk about this yet."

When Wei Tao heard this, it was like a breeze blowing on his face. He just smiled and said, "The old man just wants to tell you whether the food is delicious and whether the wine tastes good."

Ning Xuanzhen was silent for a moment, and finally sighed with a smile, "Forget it, it's Chinese New Year, and you're already here, why am I talking so much?

Moreover, being able to have a drink with Xiao Tao is infinitely better than sitting alone here alone. "

"Senior Sister Ni has become the master of Yuanyi through the interaction between heaven and man."

Wei Tao helped refill the cup, looked at Dao Master Ning's eyes that suddenly became surprised and solemn, and then continued, "I didn't tell her in detail what happened here, otherwise she would definitely come here too."

"You were right not to tell her."

Ning Xuanzhen sighed lowly, "Xiao Xun has just entered the Grand Master, and his realm has not been truly stable, so coming here will naturally be harmful rather than helpful.

To take a step back, even if she has completely stabilized her state and can have less contact with the Qinglin Mountain Qi, she still has to have as little contact as possible. This should be able to prevent me from living a life of being neither human nor ghost. . "

Wei Tao nodded, hesitated for a moment and then asked, "Disciple, I suddenly have a question recently. I wonder if the Lord can answer it for me."

"If you have any problem, just tell me. Why are you so secretive about it here?"

"What the disciple wants to know is whether the Guiyuan, Xuanyuan, and Hunyuan exercises passed down from generation to generation in our sect are somehow connected with the source of earth energy behind the Taoist master."

"There is a connection, but it will only be truly revealed after reaching the level of mysticism."

Ning Xuanzhen said thoughtfully, "This is also the reason why I deliberately suppressed Xiao Yu's cultivation progress before and prevented her from advancing to the Xuangan realm prematurely.

It's just that her talents and qualifications are truly astonishing, especially the step from mystical delusion to the transformation of heaven and human beings. The speed at which she broke through was completely beyond my expectations.

After a pause, he sighed secretly, "However, it is not necessarily a good thing to go too fast in order to become a master."

Wei Tao asked. "If it's not good, where exactly will it go bad?"

Ning Xuanzhen did not answer this question directly, but instead said, "There is something missing in the Hunyuan chapter of this sect's martial arts. Does Xiao Tao know what the main missing content is?"

Wei Tao was stunned for a moment, "My disciple's practice in the Hunyuan Chapter has not reached a deeper level, so I don't know what content is missing."

"You haven't gone to a deeper level, you're really shallow."

When Ning Xuanzhen heard this, his expression became a little strange for a moment.

After a moment, he sighed and said, "The missing part of the Hunyuan Chapter is said to be related to perceiving and capturing the true meaning of Xuanyuan, but this is just an appearance.

The real problem is that the supplements written by the third and fourth generation ancestors of the sect have disappeared.

As for the significance of the existence of the sub-chapter, the most important function is to suppress the evil hidden in the mysterious thoughts, so that the warriors of our sect can keep the spirit platform clear at all times, and will not be too deeply eroded to affect the spirit and body. "

Wei Tao listened carefully and thought silently.

The surrounding green mist surged slowly, seeming to have a lazy feeling.

Finally, Ning Xuanzhen stopped talking and began to drink tea slowly. .

Wei Tao raised his head at this moment, "Tao Master, is the thing at the bottom of Qinglin Mountain alive?"

"It's not alive, but it's not purely dead. As for what it looks like and what state it is, I'm not particularly clear about it."

Ning Xuanzhen drank the last glass of wine and turned to look at the copper door. "Maybe after I completely break through the current level and truly understand what the realm of Dharma is, I can go to the end of the underground passage to see Take a look."

"The realm of Dharma, the Dharma that follows the Dharma?"

"It is indeed the word "fasui" that means "fasui", but it does not mean "fasui".

Ning Xuanzhen raised his head and looked at the sky with sparse moon and stars, "In today's world, among the great masters of Yang Yang that I know, who is most likely to have entered this realm, the Master of the Golden Tent of the Northern Wilderness is one, Xuanwu Dao Master Qi is another one.

There are also Grand Master Hong who lives deep inside the Four Symbols Hall, and King Qinglian who is hiding in the place of death. However, one of them is old and frail, and the other has been seriously injured. It is still unclear whether they have taken this step. Unknown. "

Wei Tao's heart moved, "What about Emperor Wu a hundred years ago? What level was he at?"

"Emperor Wu pacified the southern border and broke through the golden tent. Just based on these two things, I can't see his height clearly."

Ning Xuanzhen shook his head, "This kind of character who has not been born for hundreds of years finally ended up going crazy and died. It is really disappointing."

Wei Tao began to clean up the mess, feeling the gentle and quiet green mist around him, and asked the last question, "Shenyi, what is this?"

"God's will..."

Ning Xuanzhen asked back, "So, you also sensed the divine will coming from north to south?"

Wei Tao did not hide anything, so he described the blue ice lotus in the Bingquan Mountain Paradise in detail, but changed the ending to the ice lotus breaking.

Then on this basis, it naturally led to the divine will of Xuan Binghai.

Ning Xuanzhen stroked the long beard under his chin, and spoke slowly after careful consideration, "It's a bit complicated, and I only know a little bit about it.

But to put it simply and crudely, you can think of divine will as something at a higher level than spiritual will. The so-called spiritual and clear, divine and holy, is pretty much what it means. "

"It is spiritual and clear, divine and holy."

Wei Tao carefully savored the meaning of this sentence and was speechless for a long time.

He then heard Ning Xuanzhen continue to say, "Don't misunderstand the meaning of the word holy. Perhaps it does not mean holiness, but a description of a high level that is difficult for ordinary beings to reach."

Wei Tao looked at the underground passage, "The source of the mountain gate's earth energy seems to have swallowed up a little bit of divine will."

"Yes, this is why I have to retreat here and endure greater pain."

Ning Xuanzhen smiled, but his expression looked a little bitter and twisted, "This kind of unconscious chaotic thing, although it only relies on the remaining instincts, it is enough to put me under tremendous pressure. If my will is slightly weak, it will be difficult to endure it." Go down."

…………

………………

The night passes and the sun rises.

In the Qingyangyuan practice room, Wei Tao was sitting cross-legged and motionless.

There is an ancient volume spread out in front of him.

This is the book Mu Fang specially requested from Zhang Zhiqing.

He carefully identified the past word by word, but he could never recall the font he saw at that time.

The Lingming Baoyu was at hand, but no matter what method he used, he could never see the bird feather in the crack again, let alone relive everything at that time.

"Does it mean that we have to go to Lingming Mountain to more clearly understand the true meaning of the mysterious thoughts hidden in the jade?"

Wei Tao frowned and opened the rolled-up book again.

He didn't know how many times he read it, but an irrelevant line caught his attention.

In the middle of Qin, the sky is cloudy, and sometimes there is a sound, like the sound of a car, and ten evil heads.

There was a sudden movement in his heart and he narrowed his eyes suddenly.

"The nine changes of Lingming correspond to the nine songs. If the nine changes return to one, wouldn't it be the tenth song?"

"The sound is like a car, and the first word means ghost, so the second word might be a car."

"Ghost car!?"

"The moon is dark in the deserted village, with the miserable wind and heavy rain, the phosphorus and sparks, and the ghost birds flying by, collectively called ghost cars."

As soon as these two words were spoken, a ray of light seemed to flash through Wei Tao's consciousness, suddenly dispelling the fog and illuminating a large area of ​​secrets covered by darkness.

The essentials of the Nine Transformations of Lingming quietly flashed before his eyes, and the Lingming jade in his hand felt a little hot without any warning.

He lowered his head and once again saw the feathers hovering motionless through the crack that could obscure his vision.

Once the barriers to knowledge and vision in the mind are removed, everything becomes smoother and smoother.

Even if there are other obstacles, after the status bar becomes void, there will be no room for it and it will be pushed straight through.

boom!

A gold coin disappeared, and a mysterious aura began to flow into his body.

Wei Tao put his hands together, containing the precious jade, while observing the feelings that the feather brought to him, while waiting for the change to begin.

He was a little surprised that he didn't feel any pain during the improvement of the Nine Transformations of Lingming.

The only change is that I feel a little sleepy, and I feel like I want to close my eyes and fall asleep directly.

Under the continuous infusion of the mysterious aura, the sleepiness became more and more intense, until it hit him like a big wave, completely submerging him.

Time passed little by little.

I don't know how long it took, but Wei Tao suddenly felt something in his heart.

He slowly opened his eyes, but couldn't see anything.

There was still darkness all around, and I felt extremely depressed.

It was like being trapped in a small cage, even the body was forced to curl up into a ball, and even the hands and feet could not fully stretch.

This feeling made Wei Tao extremely sad.

He kept struggling to get out of it.

Until there is a crisp sound.

The dark cage was finally broken open.

Immediately afterwards, there was a crunching sound, and all the restraints disappeared.

Wei Tao stepped out of the cage and came into the light outside.

Even because of his weakness, he fell down after taking only two steps.

Just after he stood upright from the ground, he suddenly stood there motionless.

Looking down at his legs, his eyes suddenly became full of surprise and doubt at this moment.

"This time's mysterious thoughts, or delusions, are really strange beyond expectations."

“Unlike the previous perspective of a bystander, now it’s as if you are immersed in it.”

Wei Tao fell into a long silence.

Because what caught his eyes were not human feet, but sharp claws that were curved like hooks and resembled blades.

They are still changing into different images. The only thing they have in common is that they are terrifying and weird, which makes people's spirits crazily distorted.

"So, is the cage I thought just now really a cage?"

Wei Tao slowly turned around and looked back.

Sure enough, I saw scattered pieces, like broken eggshells.

There is also viscous liquid that is spreading in all directions. Wherever it touches the ground, it will become miserable and rainy, phosphorus fire will ignite, exuding a strong ominous atmosphere.

"I was influenced by the inner feathers of Lingming Baoyu."

"The cool feeling that keeps appearing in the consciousness should be the mysterious aura when the status bar is improved.

It helped me resist the all-pervasive mental erosion, maintain the clarity of the spiritual platform, and be able to enter a state similar to lucid dreaming, and experience and perceive it immersively. "

"So, this strange bird that can make people suffer mental breakdown just by looking at it, could it be Gui Che Ben Che?"

Suddenly there were two stabbing sounds.

A pair of wings that seemed to be surrounded by blood sprouted from the back, slowly flapping with the sound of wind and thunder, completely replacing the previous membrane wings.

Recently, we are three thousand years apart, hiding in the day and emerging at night like an owl.

After an unknown amount of time, Wei Tao slowly opened his eyes and his wings disappeared from his body.

He stood up, stood silently for a long time and then suddenly took a step forward.

Boom!

The whole practice room was in motion.

Then came the second step, but his body became extremely light again.

Next, Wei Tao took eight steps forward in a row. When he finally stood still, a virtual image of fluttering wings suddenly appeared behind him, appearing and disappearing around him, like a looming phantom.

At the same time, there was also a substantial ominous aura that filled the void of the entire practice room.

Time passed little by little.

After an unknown amount of time, Wei Tao stopped moving and let out a long breath.

The eighth transformation of the Nine Transformations of Lingming, this is what happened?

He still looked a little unconvinced.

But the gold coin in the status bar has decreased by one, and the progress of the technique has reached the level of the Eight Transformations of Lingming.

Even the last description showed the four characters "Lingming Grandmaster".

However, Wei Tao always felt a little unreal.

Compared to the arrival of the Brahma Spirit when he became the Henglian Grandmaster and the darkness that surged when he became the Xuanwu Grandmaster, there was no movement or sound when he became the Lingming Grandmaster this time, as if he was lonely.

With this doubt, Wei Tao formed the Yuan Fei Fist Seal, condensed his spirit and ascended, and the true meaning of martial arts was manifested.

Quietly, the black lotus bloomed in the void, turtles and snakes intertwined, and the black King Kong image was located among them.

The next moment, there was another phantom with a nine-headed bird body, flying around the Turtle, Snake, and King Kong. There was a bloody light wherever it passed, exuding a sinister aura. It complemented the twisted and tangled scarlet silk threads, as if they were integrated into one body.

He deeply sensed the true meaning of various martial arts, and focused his eyes on the nine-headed ghost chariot flying in the bloody light. He felt dizzy for no reason, and his mind seemed to be swaying, no longer in a transparent state.

"Even one's own spirit can be affected. This is the true meaning of Grandmaster Lingming's martial arts."

"I haven't yet experienced how powerful it is, but after adding this strange bird to the true meaning of martial arts, the true meaning of Xuanwu with turtles and snakes intertwined has obviously become much quieter."

"However, in my impression, the founder of Jiutiandang Demon is wearing black clothes and wielding a sword to trample turtles and snakes. Now there is an extra nine-headed bird, which is a bit weird no matter how you look at it."

Wei Tao's eyes were half open and half closed, and he slowly exhaled a breath of thick air.

With a creaking sound, the door to the practice room was slowly pushed open.

The afternoon sun shines in, reflecting a long golden strip inside the door.

He walked slowly into the courtyard and looked at the figures sitting there chatting.

"Junior Brother Wei, you seem to be a little different from before."

Ni Xun turned around, a slightly puzzled expression flashing across his face.

"What's different?"

Wei Tao sat down next to her and took a cup of tea from Wei Xin.

Ni Hao blinked his eyes, thinking slowly and said, "This feeling is hard to describe. The biggest change is that if I look at you for a long time, my mind will be in a trance for no reason. Even the master's state of communion between heaven and man cannot completely break it. Influence."

When she said this, she suddenly stretched out her hand to support Wei Xin who was beside her.

A few steps away, Han Luyi, who was standing behind the table, swayed and fell softly to the ground.

"Fortunately, I just fainted."

Ni Hao checked the bodies of the two of them and breathed a sigh of relief, "It seems that Junior Brother Wei needs to go back to retreat for meditation. When can he fully control this power, when can he come out of the practice room again."

"The true meaning of martial arts has not yet been released, but it has already had such an impact."

Wei Tao quickly drank a cup of hot tea and kept thinking in his mind, "If I use all my strength to control the Nine Transformations of Ling Ming, I am afraid that the warriors under the Grand Master will be defeated without fighting and lose all resistance in an instant. .

I just don’t know how effective it will be for martial arts masters, or even Yangji masters.

"If it doesn't have much effect, the master level of the Nine Transformations of Lingming is actually useless, and it will naturally be at a disadvantage in the battle of masters."

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed through his mind.

"The true meaning of the ghost car directly affects the spirit, and the red lotus of karma can corrode the true spirit. If these two techniques can be combined, what will happen?"

Thinking of this, he put down the tea cup and stood up slowly, "I have to trouble my senior sister to send my sister and Deacon Han back to the room to rest. I will go back and continue to practice in seclusion."

At this moment, the sound of rapid footsteps suddenly came from far and near.

Immediately afterwards, a figure rushed into Qingyang Courtyard.

Wei Tao turned around and saw the figure of Deacon Shen of Qingyang Academy.

"A secret message from the master of the hospital, the master of Qingfeng Guanli Guanli, and Liu Shaoqing, the Luoshui Pilgrimage Department."

Deacon Shen walked quickly and was already close in an instant.

It wasn't until this moment that she saw Ni Xun sitting there, and she hurriedly bowed and said, "I have met Ni Daozi."

Ni Xun nodded slightly, "Deacon Shen, there is no need to be polite. Let's talk to Junior Brother Wei about the important matter first."

"Yes, that's the case. Just now, my subordinate and the outer deacon who delivered the letter asked about the general situation..."

Deacon Shen straightened up and looked at Wei Tao. Just as he opened his mouth, his vision turned black inexplicably and he felt a little dizzy. After regaining his composure, he continued, "Fan monks who feed on humans were found south of Luoshui. The master of Qingfeng Guanli went out to investigate. Seriously injured.

It was because the monk was in a hurry to leave and did not catch up with him and then kill him. Otherwise, senior Li Kun's life might not be saved. "

"As for the content of Liu Shaoqing's letter, Miss Xiaoyi from the Tour Department didn't say much."

Wei Tao nodded and opened the two secret letters at the same time.

After reading it carefully, he handed the paper to Ni Hao, "The contents of Liu Qingyuan's letter are similar, but in addition to the Tantric monks, she also mentioned the Golden Tent Sacrifice, which also appeared on the ground south of Luoshui."

Ni Hao frowned slightly, "I'm a little surprised. If the Jinzhang is preparing to move south in a big way, the Imperial Zhenbei Division and the Qizhou Jiedu Envoy will at least hear a hint of news, instead of being calm like now.

To take a step back, even if the Golden Tent succeeded in concealing the truth from the sky and the warriors sent to the border by the Tianji Mansion, they actually ignored their own sect after sneaking into Qizhou and went directly south. This also makes me a little bit incomprehensible. . "

Wei Tao said nothing, inexplicably thinking of the divine will passing across the night sky.

He thought silently for a long time, then sighed lowly and said, "The Tantric monks and the Golden Tent Priest appeared at the same time. If we didn't figure out the purpose of their trip early, I would feel uneasy staying at the mountain gate.

I'm afraid I won't be able to continue practicing in seclusion. Now I'm going to the back mountain to meet the Taoist master and listen to what he wants. I may have to travel a lot after the New Year. "
