Alienated Martial Arts

The night was dark and the dark clouds were low.

A figure staggered, walking slowly in the wind and snow.

His movements were slow, and he even looked a little old every time he raised his feet.

But he was moving so fast that he couldn't even catch his true figure with his eyes.

Looming in the darkness, flickering brightly and dimly.

Often when he takes a step forward, he disappears without any warning.

When he reappeared, he was already more than ten feet away, or even farther away.

Even the wind and snow stopped and froze, as if they wanted to cooperate with his every movement and stillness.

There was also a stiff, twisted figure with no legs, following behind him ten feet away.

The treacherous threads surging under his body seemed to be completely integrated into the wind and snow, and the speed during the movement was no less impressive, without any loss from the beginning to the end.

There was a soft click.

Master Xuanwu stopped without any warning.

He looked down at the dead branches that had been trampled under him, as well as the hare that had just emerged from the hole in the soil and was so frightened that it ran away like crazy.

He took off his hood, and a faint smile appeared on his old and thin face.

Then he picked up some grass stems from nearby and piled them all near the hidden earth hole.

After doing all this, he slowly straightened up and looked at the group of blue-white light that lit up inexplicably in front of him. There was a look of doubt in his eyes that were originally full of death.

"Gui Zhongcheng used the mysterious threads as a guide to summon creatures called raccoons to come to the Northern Wilderness."

"Since it is dead and has no trace left, we can ignore this matter."

Qi Taiquan withdrew his gaze and said slowly, "However, I still need you to give me a reasonable explanation and explanation for what will happen next."

Gui Shufang sighed, "When I could sense the raccoon, it was already wandering near us, so even without my call, it should still appear under the same sky as us.

But whether it will come to the Northern Wilderness, the southern border of the West Pole, or the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty becomes an unknown option. "

“That’s why I attracted the raccoon creature, firstly, to study what’s so special about a creature like it, and secondly, to fix the time and place of its appearance so that it can be placed within my scope of attention.

What's more important is that the corpse of the emperor who has risen from the Nine Sacred Mountains is also in the northern wasteland. If an uncontrollable situation does arise, with his old man here, at least the accident can be minimized. "

After a pause, he looked at the fading blue-white light in front of him, feeling the warm wind passing from far to near, with some doubts and confusion in his eyes.

After a moment of silence, Gui Shufang sighed again, "I didn't expect raccoons to die so quickly.

But the various changes that occurred after the death of the raccoons were completely beyond my expectations, and even made me feel a little weak and chilly for no reason. "

He retracted his distant gaze and looked down at the strange threads surging beneath him, his expression suddenly becoming a little gloomy and gloomy.

"In fact, it doesn't need to be said by the Taoist master, I have to give an explanation and explanation on this matter."

"Although according to the secrets I know, signs of abnormalities have appeared in some places since before Emperor Wu came to dominate the world a hundred years ago, but in the end they were suppressed one by one by Emperor Wu.

It's a pity that Emperor Wu fell into madness after destroying the Golden Tent in the Northern Wilderness and slaying Brahma's spiritual will. Until his sudden death at the end, he was unable to truly record the secrets he knew.

Only a few sleepy words were left, which appeared in the Jinghong post that he copied.

And as time goes by, hundreds of years have passed without realizing it, and maybe what is supposed to come will come again after all. The only difference is the time. "

"However, even though I say that, the changes at this moment are ultimately due to me summoning raccoons as the starting point, so I have no choice but to risk my life to find out the true reason hidden inside."

Qi Taiquan said lightly, "Given the impression that Guizhong Cheng Ning has left on me, I am a little surprised that he can say such a thing."

“People’s hearts are fickle and complex.”

"But even a person like me who can be called an evil person has a bottom line that cannot be crossed."

Gui Shufang took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, "In order to live forever, I can tolerate it for decades, living like a human being and a ghost, and I can kill people without any scruples, but I have never had any The idea of ​​luring the wolf into the house.

After all, I consider myself a human being, not a homeless wild dog. Even if I really want to be a dog, it can only be a watchdog. "

"What Gui Zhongcheng said is actually wrong."

"Oh? Please speak frankly, Taoist Master."

Qi Taiquan picked up a piece of grass clippings floating in the wind and said, "In fact, more than two hundred years ago, the founder of our sect had already vaguely mentioned in his notes that there were many people and things that even he found strange. , all appeared one by one in the chaos of the age of great strife.

However, the old man didn't think too much about this, and the means of dealing with it were simple and straightforward. It was nothing more than killing them all. Without the people who caused the chaos, there would be no chaos. "

"To this day, especially after meeting the warrior related to raccoons, and looking back at the contents of the fragments of the notebook, I suddenly discovered that those strange warriors who did not look like warriors in the patriarch's writings seemed to be the same as What's happening now is implicated.

Thinking further, the Patriarch also mentioned Beihuang Brahma in his handwriting, but later it seemed that the deadline had come, and the recorded content stopped abruptly and did not continue in depth.

Combined with the fact that the Great Brahma came from behind and replaced the Abyss of Darkness, it is still unknown whether there are other secrets hidden in it until now. "

Gui Shufang asked, "More than two hundred years ago, the Taoist Master was talking about the Xuanwu Imperial Master?"

Qi Taiquan nodded and was about to speak, but fell silent at the last moment.

He turned to the west, feeling the warmth rushing towards his face, observing the change of snow turning into rain, and a slowly walking figure slowly reflected in his pupils.

This is a woman in green clothes and skirt.

She wore a crown on her head and a veil on her face, with only her eyes exposed.

Look at it like the stars in the sky, lighting up the dark night.

"It's been a long night with no light, the wind is blowing and the snow is blowing. The two of you appear on the ground here at this moment. Is it to welcome my arrival?"

The woman's voice was melodious, with a strange accent, as if she was chanting and singing.

When she got closer, she took another look at the two people in the darkness. Her original leisurely and content expression gradually faded away, replaced by surprise and a little caution.

"You two really surprised me, even a little unbelievable."

She turned her eyes away from Gui Shufang, and then looked at the right arm of Taoist Master Xuanwu, "Your Excellency is an extremely rare person with two spirits in one body.

The old gentleman is even rarer. Although he practices Qi and Blood Martial Arts, he can actually express his thoughts in a unique way and use external objects to build the foundation for himself. I am ashamed of his intelligence and talent and feel that he is far behind. "

Qi Taiquan asked, "Who are you and where do you come from?"

The woman in green smiled slightly, "You two can call me Qingnu, as for where I come from..."

She suddenly let out a faint sigh, "When you two join us and become our people, I will definitely tell you everything I know, and I will tell you everything I know."

…………

……………………

The snow seems to be falling more and more heavily.

The world is completely white.

Only Wei Tao's surrounding area was empty for several feet, not a single snowflake fell.

It was as if even the cold air of ice and snow had been absorbed and swallowed up, leaving no room for its existence.

He faced the west, watching a flash of bright color reflected in the sky, and then quietly disappeared without a trace, with some doubts flashing in his eyes.

This ray of light looks somewhat similar to the Brahma Jiao.

But when Brahma's spiritual will came, what appeared was golden rays of light, not the bluish-white light that gave people the burning feeling just now.

"Master, do you want to check there?"

Congli came closer and asked carefully.

"Not going."

Wei Tao shook his head and slowly gathered his energy. Suddenly the wind and snow poured in, covering his whole body again.

He took out the statue of the Goddess of Joy and poured his spirit into it again.

But something unexpected happened.

There was no reaction from the statue.

Wei Tao frowned slightly and thought silently.

After a moment, he gently exhaled a breath of turbid air, and used the Huangji seal to activate the divine will he had just absorbed.

There was a soft squeaking sound.

It was as if a closed door had been gently pushed open.

There was no sign before Wei Tao's eyes.

The idol came to life again.

The ten arms formed different seals, and the dark void descended again.

And when he went deeper to explore, it turned out to be easier and smoother than before, and it was not like the last time that it consumed his energy as much as it did last time.

"So it turns out that the Emperor's Seal absorbs the divine will in the statue of Xi Mu, which is equivalent to truly integrating it with me and turning it into my own thing. That's why driving the statue this time will be so time-saving and labor-saving. "

As thoughts flashed through his mind, Wei Tao felt as if he had turned into a swimming fish, moving swiftly through the darkness, and soon came into contact with the white light at the end of the darkness.

This is a large web woven from spider silk.

Or to put it more accurately, it should be a coiled silk gate.

After opening it, you can truly enter Xi Mu's Pansi Cave.

I just don't know if the whole person can go in, or just like him these two times, he just puts his spirit deep into the near vicinity to explore and sense.

Wei Tao holds the statue of Xi Mu and stands silently motionless in the wind and snow.

Time passed little by little.

The darkness is receding and day is approaching.

But under the cover of thick dark clouds, and the sky and earth were covered by vast wind and snow, it still had a dark and gloomy tone.

Quietly, the connection with the statue of Xi Mu was severed.

Wei Tao took a long breath and closed his eyes tiredly.

He spent the rest of the night trying to open the door and get in.

But after trying again and again, I still couldn't figure out the operating rules of the spider web, and I could only dawdle at the entrance of the hole, unable to really go deep into it.

A deserted settlement.

Wei Tao drank tea slowly, one cup after another.

Miu Li, who was serving behind him, was boiling water and making tea almost non-stop.

Ni Hao sat cross-legged beside the fire.

Put your hands on your knees, with a sparkling sacred tree flower in each palm.

Outside, there were Mongli's younger brother and his subordinates, skinning and deboning several livestock and setting them up for barbecue in another tent.

Outside the tent, the cold wind howled and heavy snow fell.

It was extremely quiet inside, except for the sound of Wei Tao gulping tea.

The door curtain was opened, and Gao Li's younger brother Gao Long poked his head in and timidly said, "Sister, the meat is roasted. Should it be brought here or..."

Half of his face was swollen, two teeth were missing, and his speech was still a bit leaky.

"Don't you have any brains? Needless to say!?"

Qiu Li frowned and interrupted directly, "Of course it was baked and delivered, but it was not cleaned up over there. How can you eat in an environment with blood all over the floor!?"

Albuquerque was so frightened that he trembled. He didn't even dare to say a word in rebuttal and hurriedly went out to prepare the tableware for dinner.

Wei Tao drank the last cup of tea and sighed softly, "It's normal for young people to be a little angry. Just give him a little scolding. There's no need to be so harsh, scaring the children so much that they don't even dare to look at you."

Cong Li lowered her eyes with a respectful expression on her face.

"My slave spoiled him too much before, and that's why he developed this stupid character of being arrogant and not knowing how to advance or retreat. He even dared to show it in front of you. If you don't correct him properly, he will definitely suffer big losses in the future."

Wei Tao nodded, "This is your family matter, just handle it yourself."

"It's just that I'm a kind-hearted person, and I can't see the scenes of bloody flesh and blood, nor can I hear the cries of blood and tears, so when you try to discipline me in the future, it's best to stay away from me and don't let me see or hear you. "

Xiaoli was startled for a moment, inexplicably remembering how Xi's mother was torn into pieces and eaten bit by bit in the dark, windy and snowy depths amidst the shrill screams. She could not help but shiver, and even her throat felt a little dry.

"Slave, please go urge those subordinates to see if the meat is ready."

She stood up subconsciously, took two steps but stopped again. She carefully refilled the empty tea cup, then quickly walked out of the tent. She stood outside the door and exhaled a long breath, feeling that her whole body was a little weak.

"Junior brother, why did you fall in love with Miss Yuli?"

"It's so scary that people can't even walk safely."

Ni Xun slowly opened his eyes and looked at the lost luster of the sacred tree flower in his hand, a little regret flashed between his eyebrows.

"I don't care about her much."

Wei Tao picked up the tea cup and said, "Not only has he always been very kind to her, but he also saved her life from death. I don't know why she is so afraid."

After a moment of silence, he saw the flower of the sacred tree in Ni Xun's hand, and seemed to suddenly think of something. His tone suddenly turned cold, "Could it be that she plans to default on the debt after returning and does not want to provide the essence of the sacred tree that senior sister needs for her subsequent practice?"

"Junior brother, where did you think you were going..."

Ni Hao smiled leisurely and was about to continue talking, but suddenly frowned and turned to look at the tent door.

Wei Tao had slowly stood up from his seat and stepped into the wind and snow.

Taking another step forward, he stood on a gentle slope outside the settlement.

There was a soft snap.

A hemp shoe fell to the ground, leaving a shallow mark on the snow.

Wei Tao stood on the top of the slope, looking down at the man in green clothes with a bamboo cane and bamboo hat and hemp shoes. He came slowly and stopped on a raised blue stone.

Although the north wind was howling and the snow was flying, there was not a single snowflake on his body, and there was not even a trace of wetness on his body. It was not like he had walked all the way in the wind and snow, but he had been staying in a room as warm as spring.

"This man is a bit strange. He can't feel any trace of real energy and blood, but he is not afraid of the wind, snow and cold. Even his clothes are dry and clean as new."

Wei Tao gently exhaled a white breath, looked away from the man, and looked up into the distance.

Following a faint fragrance, Ni Xun followed closely and came to his side.

She glanced at the man in a blue hat, and a hint of gold and red flashed darkly in the depths of his eyes.

"Junior brother, don't be careless. This person seems a little strange."

Ni Hao frowned slightly, leaned closer and spoke softly.

The next moment, the man in green took off the bamboo hat on his head and looked at the two of them.

His eyes were clear in black and white, and his pupils were like deep pools, but as he raised his head, they slowly lit up with a white and blue light, giving people a strange feeling of warmth in the snowy sky where the wind was howling.

It was as if under his gaze, the temperature seemed to be rising quietly, and an area went from severe winter to spring and summer.

Wei Tao's eyes flashed as he stared at the melting snow near the slope, and suddenly realized that the temperature was really rising, rather than his perception being affected.

Suppressing the doubts that arose in his heart, he slowly asked, "Who are you, and what do you want to do in my house?"

"It seems that I was lucky. I randomly chose a direction to explore. It didn't take long to make a surprising discovery and find a suitable target candidate."

"Being able to meet the two of you here, even if I turn around immediately, is enough to return my life to Miss Qing. I may even be given a reward, allowing me to break through the long-standing barrier and advance to a higher level."

The man in green's voice had a strange accent, and the end of each sentence rose slightly, making it sound like he was chanting and singing.

He spoke in a calm tone, and his expression was relaxed and comfortable, as if he were enjoying the snow and scenery in his own garden, rather than being in an empty and silent wilderness.

Wei Tao looked at him expressionlessly, and his tone gradually turned cold, "Do you have no ears or no brain? What I asked was who you were and what you were doing here at my house, and I ended up listening to you ramble for a long time. , none of them answered my questions directly."

The man in green just smiled slightly when he heard this, "You practice martial arts and your body is full of energy and blood. It seems that this is what you think you can rely on, but in front of me, you are actually nothing."

"Qi-blood warriors sound very majestic. Just putting them in our place and giving them the treatment of a guard dog is enough for them to be grateful and cry bitterly."

"Since the mastery of boxing, no one has ever said such words in front of me with such an attitude."

"I originally wanted to communicate with you peacefully and have a good chat, but you insisted on being so aggressive and completely ignored the goodwill I released."

Wei Tao took a step forward and reached the edge of the slope.

When he spoke again, his voice became very soft, as if he was mumbling to himself, "You choose the road yourself. Once you go in the wrong direction, you will make a mistake that will lead to eternal regrets, and you will look back a hundred years later.

But since you came here to seek death on the pole, no wonder I am so unkind and will beat you to death in a short while. "

"Those who don't know how to live or die, I will use your best method to take you down before talking about anything else."

The man in green suddenly slapped the bamboo stick in his hand, and his expression instantly became extremely cold.

The next moment, he disappeared from the place without any warning. When he reappeared, he was already in front of Wei Tao, as if he had just landed a palm.

As the broad sleeves of the robe were waved, the sound of wind and thunder could be heard, and even the howling wind and snow were stagnant.

boom! ! !

A wave of heat hit his face, and even the air was distorted by the heat.

Bang!

He landed heavily and stood at the top of the slope.

However, his expression was slightly startled, because the shot he was determined to make just now came to nothing.

Wei Tao and Ni Hao were already more than ten feet away.

The two stood side by side and did not fight back.

Instead, he looked quietly at the man in green at the top of the slope, his eyes full of inquiry.

"There was no burst of Qi and blood, and there was no true energy covering the body, but there was a flash of aura similar to the true meaning of martial arts."

Ni Hao observed for a moment and frowned slightly, "And the rising heat wave when he took action came without any warning, as if it appeared out of thin air."

"It doesn't appear out of thin air. It seems to be related to his pair of blue-white eyes."

Wei Tao said, "Senior Sister is standing by to help me hold back the battle, so she asked me to try what he is capable of and whether he can stand up to his nonsense."

The man in green looked a little ugly.

He took a deep breath, preparing to teach the two of them a real lesson.

But before his anger could be vented, his expression changed again.

The sky darkened quietly.

Centered on the location of this earth slope, a large area seemed to be cut apart.

The man in green clothes suddenly raised his head, his eyes suddenly reflected a hideous and terrifying huge body, and he suddenly punched it on the head.

"Is this the warrior Miss Qing mentioned?"

"No matter how you look at it, you are a demon in human skin!"

"The Mountain of Xuandan, the Dawn of the Blue Bird, the Beginning of the Fire Dragon..."

He shouted lowly, heat waves rose around his body, and suddenly the fire was blazing.

"Spell... Qing Ling!"
