Alienated Martial Arts

The black clouds are thick and low, looking up like mountains across the sky.

Under the squeezing and friction, there were occasional rumbles of thunder.

"The thunder stirs and all things come to life."

Qi Taiquan sighed lowly, sat up straight on a broken rock, and slowly turned his head to look to one side.

"I'm afraid I don't have long to live."

"I thought that after I took that step, I would already have the ability to swallow and absorb divine will, which could help me embark on a higher level path. Unexpectedly, I still fell short, and was even almost defeated by Emperor Wu's Emperor Seal. body."

He spoke slowly, looking at the open space next to him.

Although it was empty and there was no one around, it still attracted all his attention.

Quietly, a slender figure appeared in the wind and snow.

Sun Xiyue bowed slightly and said, "If it is just a single divine will, and the Taoist body has a tortoise and a snake intertwined, there will naturally not be a big problem. Even if it cannot be swallowed and absorbed, at least it will not be seriously injured.

However, this was the divine will of Emperor Wu, and it was given a special meaning by nature.

Therefore, what is really powerful is not the will of God, but Emperor Wu of the Great Zhou Dynasty. "

Qi Taiquan laughed, "The Emperor Corpse, with only a trace of obsession left, is standing at such a high level. From this, we can imagine how powerful the Emperor Wu himself was a hundred years ago."

"Being number one in the world a hundred years ago and being invincible is naturally not just talk."

Sun Xiyue looked towards the north, "If it weren't for the obsession left in the emperor's corpse and his heart for the Northern Wilderness, leading his living corpses to pursue the King of the Golden Tent who was desperately escaping, the disciples and Taoist masters might not have been so easy. Get away.”

Speaking of this, she suddenly asked, "In the Taoist's opinion, can the Golden Tent King get rid of the shadow of death hanging over his head and successfully return to the Northern Wilderness?"

"He will definitely be able to return to Northern Wilderness alive."

Qi Taiquan spoke directly without thinking too much.

"Oh? Why did the Taoist Master say this?"

"It's simple, because Emperor Wu will not let the Lord of the Golden Tent die on the way."

Qi Taiquan lowered his head, like an old farmer who had just returned home from working in the fields, picking out the sharp stone fragments embedded in his flesh bit by bit.

"After all, when Emperor Wu made such an arrangement, he definitely wanted to solve the problem of the entire Northern Wilderness, not just kill a Golden Tent King, so he had to let him go and let him go north back to the Golden Tent.

If my guess is correct, Emperor Wu would even give the King of the Golden Account enough time to gather his strength and hold the Brahma Jiao. This would be the final confrontation. "

Sun Xiyue nodded, "In the end, Emperor Wu clearly had the opportunity to kill the Golden Lord, but he only seriously injured him and let him go. This shows that what the Taoist said is not unreasonable.

So, if the Lord of the Golden Tent is really allowed to return to the Northern Wilderness to start the Brahma Heaven Jiao, is Emperor Wu confident that he can crush it again? "

Qi Taiquan was silent for a long time, but slowly shook his head, "According to Emperor Wu's arrangements before his death, breaking the Brahma Jiao should be a sure thing, not to mention foolproof.

However, after the battle at the Nine Sacred Mountains, especially after the corpses of the left and right Vajra Protectors of the Esoteric Cult disintegrated, it is really hard to say what the final outcome will be. "

Sun Xiyue's eyes flickered, her expression thoughtful, "I understand, what the Taoist Master means is that the secret sect protector carries the spiritual power of the Black Abyss of Brahma to become the Yangji Henglian Grandmaster. This was originally one of the means used by Emperor Wu to deal with the Brahma Jiao.

Now that they were defeated by Qinglin Mountain Wei Daozi, it was indeed a big loss for Emperor Wu. "

After a pause, she suddenly sighed, "Wei Daozi is also a ruthless person. Not only did he defeat the golden bodies of two great masters of horizontal training, he was even able to withstand two emperor seals from Emperor Wu without dying.

But what's even more surprising is the way he can easily wipe out the will of God in Yun Danfeng. I can't figure out what kind of skills he has practiced to achieve this level. "

"Not only can you not understand it, but I can't understand it either. Maybe even Emperor Wu himself is a little confused."

Qi Taiquan smiled again, "There are talented people from generation to generation, and new generations replace old ones. If Wei Daozi can continue to make such rapid progress, he may become another Great Zhou Wu Emperor, and it is not impossible that he can even stand at a higher position. possible."

The two chatted for a while, and Qi Taiquan stood up and asked, "Where are you going next?"

Sun Xiyue thought for a while, "Disciple is going to go to the East China Sea next. It is said that there are sacred trees in the three overseas islands. I just want to go over and see what is special."

Qi Taiquan nodded slightly, "I originally planned to go to southern Xinjiang, but since Emperor Wu has gone north, we can follow him into the northern wilderness.

If he can really break through the golden tent again and kill Brahma, perhaps Brahma's spiritual will will be torn apart. Such a big change is both a danger and an opportunity. It depends on how to grasp it. "

After a pause, he continued, "If you are not in a hurry, you can also go to Lingyungang for a walk. I wonder if you will find anything else.

I always feel that Emperor Wu’s choice of the Nine Sacred Mountains as the imperial mausoleum may have something to do with the descendants of the Nine Sacred Mountains he met during the founding war of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

There was also a natural disaster in the Nine Sacred Mountains a hundred years ago, which coincided with Emperor Wu breaking through the Golden Tent and slaying Brahma. I don’t know if there is any connection here. "

……………………

The Nine Saint Sect is not in the Nine Saint Mountain.

But it was Lingyungang located three hundred miles away.

It is connected to the Nine Sacred Mountains and Chishan City, and is located exactly in the center of the two.

The Nine Saint Sect has been a sect since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and has continued its inheritance for more than two hundred years.

After the glory of the past, although it gradually declined, because it has a method that directly refers to the martial arts master, it has been able to be among the ranks of the martial arts sects, and has not disappeared without a trace like many other sects.

Wei Tao was already in front of Lingyungang at this time.

Looking at the low stone hilltop covered with white snow in front of him, he couldn't help but think of many past events.

Seriously, he had two contacts with the Nine Saint Sect.

The first time was when I was at Qingfengguan. Behind the master of Lingyun Pavilion was the Nine Saint Sect.

However, with the arrival of Inspector Lu from the Supervision Bureau, and after the battle with Moxiang Tower on the banks of the Mingshui River, Lingyun Pavilion lost all its elites from the pavilion master Xiao Jinyun down. From then on, it became a low-ranking force in Luoshui City, and was soon replaced by other gangs. It was so divided that almost no trace was left.

The second encounter with the Nine Saint Sect was before the sect competition.

Wei Tao still remembered that he and Senior Sister Ni were passing by by boat, and happened to meet Master Zhou and the brothers from the Hongxian Sect, and then beat the deputy sect master of the Nine Saint Sect and Lingmingshan Daozi to death, and took away Concubine Shang Ning the next day. , accidentally cutting off the road to the competition in Lingming Mountain.

The series of things that happened back then seem to have been quite a long time ago.

After thinking silently for a while, Wei Tao finally failed to remember the names of the deputy sect master of the Nine Saint Sect and Lingming Daozi, so he had to give up.

He turned around and looked at Hong Shunyu, who was standing with his hands lowered, and asked casually, "Has Senior Hong been to the Nine Saints Gate before?"

Hong Shun said, "Forty years ago, the old slave returned to the capital from the north. He stayed here for several days and had a pleasant conversation with the head of the Nine Saint Sect's Mu Sect."

Wei Tao sighed, "After such a long relationship, is Master Mu still alive?"

"Back to the young master, during the battle with Beihuang, Sect Leader Mu was seriously injured, and he died within a few years."

Speaking of this, Hong Shunwei hurriedly added, "However, it was his son Mu Yuan who succeeded the sect leader later. He visited the old slave in the capital several times and maintained this relationship."

"So, Senior Hong's face is considered good within the Nine Saint Sect?"

"It's a good thing, a good thing. Don't worry, sir. Not to mention that we just went there to inquire about information. Even if we stayed at their house and never left, no one would dare to say no."

Wei Tao nodded, "The purpose of our visit this time is not to inquire about information, but mainly to allow Senior Hong to catch up with friends he hasn't seen for a long time, and to have a casual meal here to rest.

Therefore, after entering the Nine Saint Sect, all negotiations were conducted with Elder Hong. How does Senior Hong feel about this arrangement? "

Hong Shunwei carefully observed Wei Tao's expression, "Please rest assured, sir, I will definitely handle things properly and smoothly."

Wei Tao smiled slightly and suddenly changed the subject, "After leaving the Nine Sacred Mountains, Senior Hong's cultivation seems to have improved again. It seems that he has benefited a lot from this trip, which is really gratifying."

Hong Shunwei bowed and said, "Thanks to the young master, this old slave can break the knot in his heart and improve a little."

"Thanks to me?"

Wei Tao couldn't help but be startled, "Is Mr. Hong kidding me?"

"No, how dare I make fun of the young master?"

Hong Shunwei said seriously, "On this trip to the Nine Sacred Mountains, I was defeated at the hands of Taoist Master Qi and Young Master. I was indeed a little disheartened at the beginning, and might even have fallen into disgrace.

But later I figured out that if I want to achieve the method of transforming gods and devouring spirits and returning foreign objects to void, I don’t necessarily have to fixate on a strong and unyielding spiritual will that belongs to me.

After all, being extremely strong can be humiliating, and being extremely strong can easily be broken. Although the Guixu method requires the exclusion of everything else, as long as the things that cannot be excluded are regarded as one's own, the big problem that is worrying about the heart will be solved in one go. "

Wei Tao was silent for a long time before he asked in confusion, "Is this okay?"

"The old slave thinks it's okay. Since he figured it out, his mind suddenly became smoother and his thoughts became clearer. Even the barrier in front of him seemed to have become thinner."

Wei Tao stopped at the foot of Lingyungang, frowning and thinking, "Senior Hong has realized the spiritual victory method and can find his position immediately and make the most appropriate choice at the right time. If he can really use this Stepping into the realm of returning to the virtual acting method is indeed a good story."

While the two were talking, they had already arrived in front of the Nine Saints Gate.

At this moment, Wei Tao took a step back, moved Hong Shunwei in front of him, and admired and observed the snow scene on Lingyungang.

Not long after the disciple on duty reported, an old man in green shirt came quickly with a few people.

"Junior Mu He has met Senior Hong."

The old man in green shirt cupped his hands and bowed deeply.

"It's Mu He. Where is your brother Mu Yuan?"

Hong Shunwei put his hands behind his back and nodded slightly, showing the majestic attitude of a great master.

Mu He respectfully replied, "To my senior, my brother is currently in seclusion, and this junior has already gone to call someone."

After standing up, he looked behind Hong Shunyu, and his eyes fell on the young figure standing with hands and arms.

At one glance, his heart couldn't help but skip a beat, and his body couldn't help but tense up.

I didn't even hear clearly what Hong Shunwei said.

At this moment, Mu He's heart was filled with extremely contradictory and strange feelings.

The young man in red standing behind Hong Shunwei, judging by his attire, should be a servant, or maybe just a young eunuch in the palace, and not worthy of much attention at all.

But the inexplicable feeling deep in his consciousness kept reminding him that the other party was dangerous, very dangerous, very dangerous.

It is even more dangerous than Hong Shunyu, who is the master of Yangji.

Muhe tried his best to stay calm, tried his best to suppress the surprise and shock in his heart, and at least kept his expression calm.

And as Wei Tao focused his gaze, Mu He's uneasiness became more and more intense, until it occupied his entire heart.

The next moment, thin beads of cold sweat seeped out from his back and quickly formed a patch.

Although he was just stared at, Muhe even felt that the surrounding temperature had dropped a bit. His whole body felt like he was in an ice cellar, and he was cold from head to toe.

It felt like he was a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, exposed in front of a predatory tiger.

If it weren't for the mountain gate behind him, he might have avoided it as far away as possible.

Mu He secretly exhaled a breath, tried hard to calm down, and led the two of them toward the door with smiles on his face.

Wei Tao looked at the Deputy Sect Master Mu of the Nine Saint Sect, a look of doubt flashed between his brows.

However, he didn't say much, just followed behind silently, and soon came to the courtyard specially prepared for them to rest and change clothes.

A quarter of an hour later.

Muhe took Hong Shunwei to the banquet living room.

Wei Tao got his wish and was led into the inner treasury by an elder of the Nine Saint Sect.

The things inside were quite dazzling, and indeed precious for a martial arts sect, but they were obviously not what he wanted.

He continued walking inside until he reached the end, but there was still no trace of the Vitality Pill Pill.

The elders of the Nine Saint Sect followed behind and saw that Wei Tao turned a blind eye to a precious elixir, with a confused expression on his face.

Wei Tao stopped and turned around to take a look, "Maybe Hong Zongfeng didn't make it clear. What I need is just the most common Qi-tonifying medicinal pills, not these things."

Just a pill for replenishing qi and replenishing energy?

The elder of the Nine Saint Sect was stunned for a moment, and then said, "If the young master is talking about our sect's Yuan Ning Dan, it is indeed not available in these two secret warehouses. It is usually stored in ordinary warehouses."

His face was pale, and when he spoke he spoke in a strange tone, as if he had a pebble in his mouth and couldn't spit it out no matter what.

"Then I'll bother you, senior."

Wei Tao frowned slightly and walked out of the secret treasury door without any hesitation.

It seems that in addition to the deputy sect leader Mu He, the elder of the Nine Saints Sect also seems to be a little weird.

Both his expressions and movements, and the tone of his words, gave him an inexplicable and strange feeling.

But it doesn't matter anymore.

His main purpose in coming to the Nine Saint Sect was to make up for his shortcomings before he could start his subsequent practice.

Beyond that, everything else is out of the question.

No matter how weird the warriors in the Nine Saint Sect are, they have nothing to do with him.

As if frightened by Wei Tao's eyes, the elder of the Nine Saint Sect took him to the ordinary warehouse as quickly as possible.

Bang!

The door was tightly closed by Wei Tao from the inside, blocking out the stunned elder of the Nine Saint Sect.

The number of Ning Yuan Pills on the shelf decreased at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the hunger gradually subsided, replaced by great satisfaction and happiness.

Quietly, the status bar appeared in front of me.

Name: turtle and snake cross

Progress: one thousand one hundred.

Status: Breaking the 100-dan limit.

Description: Xuanwu gradually emerges, and turtles and snakes become bright again.

"Whether to consume one gold coin to improve the progress of the turtle and snake cross cultivation."

Wei Tao stuffed a handful of Yuan Ning Dan into his mouth and directly chose yes.

The mysterious aura quickly injected into the body, and the blood network acupoints began to expand and contract, absorbing them together with the medicine taken.

He was immersed in this indescribable and wonderful feeling and completely forgot about the passage of time.

The gold coins disappeared one by one.

Unknowingly, the turtle-snake cross has reached the 109-level limit.

Wei Tao came back to his senses at this moment, and his eyes fell on the newly appeared golden writing.

"Whether to consume gold coins in the status bar to improve the progress of turtle and snake cross cultivation."

"yes."

Uh-huh!

The status bar suddenly blurred, and the twelve gold coins disappeared instantly.

Wei Tao narrowed his eyes suddenly and poured a whole box of Yuan Ning Dan into his mouth.

The blizzard that had been brewing for a long time finally fell.

There is a vast expanse of white between heaven and earth.

The Nine Saint Sect became more and more lifeless.

A secluded courtyard on the edge of Lingyungang.

"Sir, Hong Shunyu from Sixiang Palace came to visit suddenly. He was accompanied by a person whose strength level is unknown, but it gave me an extremely dangerous feeling."

Muhe closed the door, and the whole room suddenly fell into darkness.

"I understand, just leave them alone."

Quietly, a green light lit up.

A man in white clothes raised his head and looked at Mu He who was kneeling on one knee.

The man was tall and tall, and his face was so pale that it was almost transparent. Not only could you clearly see the fine blood vessels, but there seemed to be densely packed insects crawling inside.

Mu He glanced up, moved his eyes away from the man, and landed on another wooden chair.

His elder brother, the leader of the Nine Saints Sect, Mu Yuan, put his hands on his knees and sat still.

His two eyes kept staring at the void in front of him, without blinking for a long time.

"Emperor Wu finally left with the pile of corpses."

"More than two hundred years ago, the master carried the spirit of the Nine Saints out of the mountain, but was defeated by the Great Zhou Imperial Master. After that, he was chased for thousands of miles and finally perished.

A hundred years ago, Grand Master had a feeling in his secluded place and thought that the time had come. However, he did not expect to be knocked down by the dying Emperor Wu.

After that, our sect held back for a long time, finally waiting for the day to come when we could plant the seeds of the Nine Saint Spirits and wait for them to take root and sprout. "

The man sighed lowly and continued, "As long as it can be successful, whether or not people will die in the process, how many people will die, and who will die, are all irrelevant matters."

"Sir, the medicine is ready."

A beautiful girl pushed the door in from outside, holding a steaming medicine jar in her hand.

"Put it there."

The man pointed at the table in front of Mu Yuan, "I turned your father and uncle into what they are now. Will you hate me?"

The girl lowered her eyes and said, "Sir, if you can devote your life to the Nine Saints, this is the highest honor we can ever dream of."

The man nodded and opened the lid of the medicine jar.

In the thick soup, countless tiny insects could be seen tumbling and surging.

"Drink it, the spirit of the Nine Saints is with you and me."

Starting from last Friday, I have been working overtime for several days, and I will finally be back to normal tomorrow.
