Alienated Martial Arts

The gray mist full of death quietly disappeared.

The silence of night returned to the wasteland again.

It seemed as if the whirlpool that had just appeared and the monsters emerging from it were just figments of a trance.

The man in black stared blankly at the figure in front of him, his mind instantly going blank.

He wanted to escape desperately, but couldn't even take a step forward.

Under the real pressure, his body was shaking uncontrollably, and he felt as if he couldn't breathe.

Giggle...

He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something more, but he couldn't even utter a complete word.

All he could do was make meaningless noises, as if his breath was stuck in his throat and he couldn't spit it out no matter what.

The opponent looks ordinary, no different from other young people. It seems that if he is willing, he can crush him to death with just one finger.

However, his always keen sixth sense kept reminding him that this quiet guy was dangerous, unusually dangerous.

Although he didn't see clearly how this person appeared, he subconsciously concluded that the other person was the terrifying demon king who had just crawled out of the gray mist vortex.

Underneath a piece of human skin, there is no telling what kind of terrifying true body is wrapped.

"The wind is a little warm, not as cold as before."

Wei Tao withdrew his gaze and looked up at the moonlit sky with sparse stars.

"The dark clouds have dissipated and the wind and snow have disappeared. This is the first time I have seen such a pure night sky by Xuanbing Sea."

He pressed and kneaded the center of his eyebrows and sighed secretly, "So, when is it now?"

Uh-huh...

Without any warning, the oppressive aura completely disappeared.

Caught off guard, the man in black stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

Without any hesitation or hesitation, he knelt down.

Put your hands on your forehead and touch your head to the ground with an extremely respectful posture.

"Xiaoren Dongyang, I offended you unintentionally, please forgive me."

Wei Tao slowly came closer, his eyes deep and distant, staring at the hideous face covered with scars and distorted by fear.

"Let me ask you, what time is it now?"

The man in black was stunned for a moment, with a puzzled expression on his face.

What time is it right now?

He took a deep breath and said cautiously, "Sir, it's probably midnight now."

"What I want to know is whether it is the Qianfu year of the Great Zhou Dynasty, or the Brahma calendar time of the Northern Wilderness Golden Tent."

Hearing this, the man in black was stunned again.

There was a long silence.

It's not that he doesn't want to answer, but he really wants to give an accurate answer in exchange for the other person's kindness.

But sadly, he didn't know the answer to this question.

I have never even heard of the Great Zhou Qianfu and what the Brahma Calendar is all about.

"Don't know or don't want to answer?"

Wei Tao frowned and continued in a calm tone, "Then, let me ask you another question."

"Have you seen an old man missing his left arm and several other young men and women around here?"

The man in black moved his lips and shook his head subconsciously.

"Thank you for your cooperation."

Wei Tao nodded slightly and pointed out without any warning.

Uh-huh!

There was almost no sound, and a wisp of hot breeze arrived in front of the man in black.

His liver and gallbladder were split apart, and he suddenly felt that extreme danger was approaching.

Under the oppression of the great terror between life and death, a strong desire to survive burst out, allowing him to break the huge pressure that enveloped his body and mind, and at this time he regained the ability to act independently.

"The flesh and blood are sacrificed and possessed by divine power!"

"Sacrifice the light and pray for God to come!"

The man in black suddenly raised his arms, stabbed his chest with his left hand, and gouged out his eyes with his right hand.

Click!

Suddenly thick liquid splashed.

Where the eyes were originally, there were only two bloody black holes left.

boom!

Centered on where he stood, the ground in a radius of ten feet suddenly sank downwards.

His figure suddenly expanded, causing violent airflow to spin and scream.

Uh-huh...

The scorching breeze came quietly at this moment.

They were submerged in the violent airflow that exploded instantly, and merged with it, as if they were inseparable from each other.

The man in black had blood on his face and grinned through gritted teeth.

"I am possessed by divine power, you..."

Before he could finish his words, he suddenly became silent.

An ordinary-looking palm fell gently as if without any effort, breaking through the barrier of the violent aura, and lightly touched the center of his forehead.

Click!

Half of the man in black's head disappeared.

There was only one mouth left that was still mumbling, and I didn't know what it was talking about.

"Possessed by divine power?"

"In this world today, no matter what it is, anyone dares to call themselves God."

"So, we still need to kill all these monsters and monsters, and restore peace and clarity to all things in the world."

Wei Tao shook off a little blood on his fingertips and slowly turned around and left south.

After taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped again.

He glanced back.

Even after a few breaths passed, the man in black stood erect and motionless, still mumbling something. He looked nothing like a corpse with most of its head blown off.

"In this case, it has not lost its activity?"

Wei Tao frowned, and as his mind turned and thought, he suddenly had a more severe headache.

He originally wanted to study the reason carefully, but in this case, he suddenly lost any interest, leaving only the uncontrollable irritability that spread rapidly.

boom!

Suddenly he punched out, causing a cloud of scarlet blood to rain.

The man in black was flying all over the sky, not even a single intact bone was left behind. .

After doing all this, Wei Tao still stood still.

As if quietly waiting for something.

Time passed little by little.

Suddenly, a disembodied voice sounded, blending into the night wind that was no longer cold and cold.

"You are very nice, I have already remembered you."

Wei Tao took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, "It's meaningless whether you remember me or not. If you have the ability, come to me now. If you don't, don't nag in front of me."

"I might come to find you, but not now."

After a pause, the voice continued, "And when I said you were very good, I was really complimenting you, rather than showing any hostility towards you."

"Go on, I'm listening." Wei Tao calmly looked for the source of the voice.

"Although these containers are all dead, I have stayed in touch with you at great cost. In fact, I want to make a deal with you that will benefit both parties."

The newly sprouted grass stems moved with the wind, making a tiny rustling sound.

The illusory voice came again at this time, "After seeing your ability, I suddenly realized that you should be a good helper."

Wei Tao searched around and found nothing.

He didn't ask about the deal, he just sighed and said, "If you found out that I was weak, wouldn't there be no conversation like this?"

"You are right, only if you have enough strength can you have the opportunity to trade with me on an equal footing.

After all, in front of the strong, the weak have only one choice: unconditional submission. If they don't obey, it will be a dead end. "

The voice spoke slowly, giving people a feeling that it should be this way and taken for granted.

"What deal?"

Wei Tao casually sat down on a square stone, "What do you want, and what are you prepared to pay?"

"What I want to get are the various spiritual meanings bred in this world."

"As for what I can give, it depends on what you need most."

The voice was silent for a moment, "For example, the secret method of cultivating the true spirit and strengthening the soul may be what you need most at this stage."

Wei Tao laughed and shook his head casually, "It's just a practice method. You want me to help you fight for life and death. To be honest, I don't see your sincerity."

"Refining qi to transform into spirit, practicing spirit to return to emptiness, are they just a practice method in your eyes?"

When the voice sounded again, there was a trace of inexplicable surprise.

"Don't you know how precious and rare the secret magic scroll that points directly to the true spirit is?"

“The immortality of the soul and the eternal existence of the true spirit are the most important foundations for longevity and transcendence.

Otherwise, even if you cultivate a body that is unparalleled in your lifetime, it will only be a temporary gain. When time is up, you will eventually return to dust, dust to dust, and you will not be able to enjoy eternal life.

What's more, for practitioners, the inner saint and the outer king are the right path. If you don't cultivate the spirit, but only cultivate the body, it is impossible to elevate the physical body to such a high level.

Just like you at this moment, although your strength level is quite good, your true spirit and soul are about to be overwhelmed.

If it continues like this, it may not take long before it falls into the abyss of chaos and madness. "

Wei Tao was lost in thought, and a gentle smile appeared on his face after a moment.

"Many friends mean many roads, many enemies mean many walls. What's more, I have always been kind to others. I don't like to fight and kill, but prefer mutually beneficial transactions where everyone gets what they need.

Therefore, what you said deeply touches my heart. In addition, you and I are descendants who came here from outside the territory. When facing these natives, we should work together to deal with them in order to ensure that everything is safe. "

The voice sighed faintly, "So, do you agree to the deal with me?"

Wei Tao nodded, "Of course I agree, but some details still need to be carefully discussed."

"For example, do you want to pay me a small deposit first so that I can really feel at ease when doing things?"

"What do you mean, let me teach you some of the practice methods of refining Qi to transform into God, and training God to return to void?"

"It seems that your problem is indeed serious. You have pressed your eyebrows nineteen times in a short period of time, and you are almost on the verge of madness.

Then, in order for the cooperation transaction to proceed smoothly, I can teach you the basic part of this god-refining method, even if it is the deposit you just mentioned. "

At this moment, a black mosquito flew out from the blood and flesh of the complacent ground. It was even smaller than a sesame seed and was almost invisible under the cover of night.

Wei Tao's pupils shrank. It was not until the mosquito appeared that he truly discovered its existence. No matter how he searched for it before, he could not find any traces.

"It has a little bit of my essence and blood in its body."

"If you integrate it into yourself, you can get the spiritual inheritance of the method of refining gods."

"I will send someone to contact you in the future. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation."

The voice gradually became silent until it finally disappeared without a trace.

Black mosquitoes are looming.

Just a moment ago, it was still hovering on the messy ground.

The next moment, a ghost came to Wei Tao's side.

It folded its almost transparent wings and landed silently on the surface of his skin.

But it was firmly stuck to the cobwebs covering the body.

Wei Tao concentrated on observing, his eyes focused on the barely visible mouthparts of the black mosquito, and various thoughts flashed through his mind.

Immediately afterwards, a mysterious thread that was thinner than a hair protruded from the fingertips and accurately pierced into the belly of the black pattern.

From beginning to end, he had no real contact with black mosquitoes and took his own protection to the extreme.

Time passed little by little.

The gentle night breeze blew slowly.

Wei Tao seemed to have turned into a human sculpture, standing silent and motionless.

Until the night passes and day comes.

He slowly blinked his eyes and burned the black mosquito clean with the Palm of the Great Sun.

"There is no problem in studying and deducing the cultivation technique called God Refining."

Wei Tao sighed, and finally decided to put it aside and not practice for the time being.

If there is no problem with the technique, it may be that he is short-sighted and lacks vision, rather than that there is really no problem.

More importantly, he thought there seemed to be something wrong with the black mosquito.

If he didn't have the magical power of the Happy Mother Spider Silk, he would probably be stung by it.

What exactly will happen then, even he can't tell clearly.

As for that ethereal and mysterious sound, he had a rare and strange feeling that he had no way to deal with it and that he had no power to do it.

You must know that even if he is facing the superior Corpse Executioner, he can't beat him, but he can still face him head-on and have a confrontation, instead of just hearing his voice, not seeing him, or even not seeing him like last night. Every clue remains.

…………

……………………

Across the entire Northland wilderness.

Wei Tao stopped in a densely growing forest.

The light rain is like silk, lingering, connecting the whole world.

Passing through the woods, a dense cluster of buildings can be seen ahead.

It looked hazy under the curtain of rain.

Wei Tao looked at the market town in the distance, and some distant memories quietly came to mind.

It was in Beixu Town, at the junction of Dazhou and Beihuang, that he met Grandmaster Henglian of the Esoteric Cult for the first time, and deeply understood the martial arts artistic conception of the Vajra Secret Method, laying a solid foundation for his future practice.

There was another Beihuang Grandmaster named Mr. Qu, who also left a deep impression on him.

It can be said that it was precisely because of his fight with Mr. Qu that he had his first awareness of invisibility. Therefore, when he later faced Xuanwu Sun Daozi, he had a certain degree of experience in dealing with it and would not be too confused and panicked.

Wei Tao was lost in thought, and soon came to Beixu Town.

He stood under the stone gate archway at the entrance of the town, his gaze gradually extending into the distance.

After getting closer, a clearer scene came into view.

Reality and memory overlap little by little, but there is always an inexplicable weird feeling lingering in my heart.

After a while, Wei Tao took a deep breath of cool air and exhaled slowly.

He finally found what felt like a dissonance.

Beixu Town looks clean and tidy in the rain.

Even the air seemed fresher than in the forest. Every breath in and out could not help but make people feel relaxed and happy, and even the lingering headaches were reduced a bit.

But here's the problem.

This town is so clean.

Not to mention the littered piles of various goods and garbage, there was not a single fallen leaf or weed in sight, as if someone had spent a lot of effort to clean it up.

Even the pedestrians coming and going were very polite and there was not a trace of dispute or noise.

As a business place on the north-south thoroughfare, it should be chaotic and disorganized.

Just like the last time he came here, there was all kinds of garbage everywhere and random things piled everywhere.

There are also gangs who kill people and dump their bodies on snowy nights, and the surrounding residents are used to it and don't pay any attention at all.

To put it bluntly, even if all the people in Beiwei Town fled because of the tense situation in the Northern Wilderness of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it should still show a scene of decay and desolation, not as clean and clear as it is now.

Wei Tao gathered his thoughts and walked slowly into the long street.

Soon after, he showed up at the restaurant he had been to last time.

It was in the evening, the restaurant was full of guests, and the atmosphere was lively and lively, recreating the lively scene late at night in the cold winter of that year.

There was a soft squeaking sound.

Wei Tao pushed open the door and entered.

After looking around for a week, I came directly to the table in the corner.

He ordered 8 cold, 8 hot and 16 kinds of dishes in one go, and ordered five jars of soju, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the restaurant.

There was also a young man in a long gown who got up from his seat and walked over carrying a wine bottle. .

"We are destined to meet each other. Sit down."

Wei Tao looked up and pointed to the empty seat opposite.

The young man did not refuse. After sitting down, he filled two glasses of wine for each of them, then drank them all in one gulp.

"Young Master, it looks like this is your first time here?"

He put down the cup and asked as if he didn't care.

"The second time. The last time I came here was winter."

Wei Tao smiled and watched the waiter arrange the dishes.

Then he continued, "At that time, Beixu Town could be regarded as a model of filth and chaos. It was not as clean and refreshing as it is now, as if it had been licked carefully by a dog."

The young man paused while holding the wine glass, then put it into his mouth as if nothing had happened. "After all, it's not a good sign to be dirty and messy. If you can take care of it, it's better to take care of it."

A flash of light flashed in Wei Tao's eyes, and then he nodded with a smile, "Brother, what you said is good, let's have another drink."

The banquet was sumptuous and the drinks were delicious.

The two sat across from each other and chatted, and the atmosphere at the table became much more relaxed.

Young people seem to have a high status here.

After he sat down, the waiter brought the dishes out in a smooth flow, completely ignoring other tables, and even when new customers arrived, he didn't even come forward to say hello.

All the diners had no complaints about this, as if the young people's status was far above them and they should be treated differently.

As time went by, the more the two chatted, the more speculative they became.

That young man, who was dressed in ordinary and somewhat shabby clothes, gave Wei Tao a refreshing feeling when he chatted.

He simply knew astronomy from above and geography from below, covering five thousand years and thirty thousand miles across. It seemed that there was no problem that could trouble him.

Even the waiter on the side who helped pour wine and dishes was full of knowledge and well-spoken when he answered the conversation. He didn't look like a handyman at all, but more like a son of a family who had read poetry and books.

interesting.

It's really interesting.

Wei Tao drank the wine in his glass, a faint smile overflowing from the corners of his lips.

After enjoying the feast for a while, Wei Tao stood up from behind the table, took out the scattered gold and silver he had taken from Beihuang to pay the bill, then declined the young man's kind invitation, left the restaurant and continued walking south.

There's nothing normal about this town.

The people inside looked even more abnormal.

However, he didn't want to find out the reason.

It's not because I can't do it.

Nor is it because of fear of retaliation.

The main reason is that I am afraid of trouble, which can also be said to be laziness.

Too lazy to think, even less lazy to toss.

More importantly, he was anxious to get home.

Ensure the safety of parents, family members and senior sisters.

As for these strange people and things, as long as they don't block his way home, he can turn a blind eye and ignore them.

Wei Tao quickly crossed the entire long street and arrived at the southern end of Beixu Town.

He looked back and saw that the town was brightly lit, illuminating the darkness of the rainy night.

There seemed to be faint chanting sounds, mixed in the wind.

Wei Tao withdrew his gaze and was about to enter the muddy dirt road outside the town.

Snapped!

He took a step forward, causing a splash of water, but stopped at this moment.

The rain seems to be getting heavier.

The night wind, which had always been gentle, also became howling and ferocious at this time.

There was a muffled sound, which seemed to be the sound of the metal door being blown and hitting the door frame hard.

And in the rain curtain ahead, a black shadow vaguely appeared.

Wei Tao had an expressionless face, staring at the figure in a simple gown in front of him, and gradually suppressed his small smile.

The young man who came here waiting at some unknown time bowed slightly and said in a gentle tone, "The Spiritual God is very interested in the young master. In honor of the oracle, I came here to invite the young master to join the cult. I hope that the young master can follow me back to listen to the teachings. Don't Make it difficult for me."

Wei Tao nodded and sighed deeply.

"I was about to leave."

"I've already reached the intersection."

“If it’s hard to do, then don’t do it.”

The young man in gray robes narrowed his eyes suddenly.

The expression in his eyes instantly became surprised and solemn.

boom! ! !

In an instant, the strong wind roared and white light shone.

The flames burned brightly.

It reflects and bakes everything around it.

The rain curtain turned into steam and rose, forming a clearly visible cavity in the void.

There was a dull thud.

The ground trembled slightly, like a heart beating.

At this moment, Wei Tao slowly stood up straight, lowered his head and looked down at the ashes scattered by the wind at his feet, and raised his hand to press and knead his eyebrows.

He turned around little by little and looked towards the brightly lit Beixu Town again.
