Mortal Bones

"snort."

At this time Chu Lingyue sneered.

With this sound, the black hand that was about to continue to reach in suddenly froze.

Then, Chu Lingyue pointed coldly at the big black hand with her sealed hand and said:

"All feelings, continuation, and cessation are called shadowless; they are called cessation."

As soon as these words came out, a terrifying aura of destruction, like the aura of rotting corpses that suddenly appeared, rushed towards the black hand like a wave with Chu Lingyue's proud finger.

"boom!"

A silent roar of anger followed, and the huge black hand shrouded in black mist suddenly shrank back, with little fires glowing on its fingers.

"Either disappear without a trace, or go back to the Demon Realm, choose one."

Chu Lingyue's voice was as cold as a piece of ice.

The black fingers of that hand retracted and clenched into a fist little by little, as if hesitating.

"hold head high!……"

At this moment, a dragon roar suddenly sounded in the originally dead-silent world, followed by an old voice roaring angrily:

"What kind of monster dares to offend me, Qingxuan!"

As soon as he said this, the black hand transformed by the extraterrestrial devil no longer hesitated, and suddenly retracted from the window, and then disappeared out of the window as if it had never appeared before.

The sound of thunder, wind, and rain suddenly returned to this world.

"The little black dragon who is the gatekeeper of Qingxuan Sect can actually sense this extraterrestrial demon? I underestimated him, but it seems that he only sensed it and did not really discover its existence."

Chu Lingyue, whose figure became much more transparent, glanced in the direction of Qingxuanzong's mountain gate, then raised the corners of his mouth slightly, turned to look at Xu Taiping, who was in a state of selflessness, and continued to murmur:

"But today, it's thanks to it. Without its sound, I'm afraid I would really have to use that karma-killing fire spell. In that case, it would be at least thirty years before I can see the little guy again."

Although thirty years was just a snap of her fingers to her, after spending this time together, she really couldn't bear to let go of the little guy in front of her.

"Originally, I was thinking of dealing with the tiger demon with the little guy, but now it seems that I am powerless. If I don't go back to sleep in the earth fruit, I'm afraid something will happen to this residual soul. Forget it, I'll leave a letter to the little guy. Tell him about the Ice Breath Art. With the Ice Breath Art and his comprehension talent, he will definitely be able to deal with that tiger monster."

While Chu Lingyue muttered so quietly, she controlled a brush on the table with her spiritual mind and began to write on a piece of white paper.

This writing brush was one of the few things that she could hold with her current remnant soul.

"My sister will sleep for at least a month, and at most half a year. Please take care of yourself, little peace. If you encounter something interesting, be sure to remember it and tell her when she wakes up."

After writing the last line, Chu Lingyue's power was completely exhausted, turning into a wisp of smoke and drifting out of the room, and finally penetrated into the dead branches of the earth fruit buried in the medicine garden.

…

at the same time.

Xu Taiping finally used Canxia Qi to break through the invisible wall surrounding his Dantian.

He successfully broke through the door realm.

"Is this Qi Hai?"

The moment he broke through the door-opening realm, Xu Taiping gained the ability to see inside. With just a thought, he saw the "sea of ​​qi" after the Dantian barrier was broken.

With his sight in the sea of ​​qi, he felt as if he was in a gray world, and from time to time he could see several air masses condensed by true qi floating around.

With just such a superficial look, he could still intuitively feel the difference between cloud and mud between Qi Hai Dantian.

"No wonder Taoist Priest Ziyang said that, and no wonder the jade slips that convey the power say that one can only practice Taoism when one reaches the realm of opening the door. The small Dantian cannot hold the true energy required to perform Taoism."

Xu Taiping, who was full of shock, sighed in his heart.

"By the way, we have to tell Sister Lingyue the good news quickly."

He suddenly thought of Fairy Lingyue who was still guarding his bed, and he immediately calmed down and opened his eyes again.

"Um?"

What made Xu Taiping a little strange was that Fairy Lingyue was not in the house, but the window of the room was open, and there was an aura in the room that made him feel inexplicably palpitating, as if something extremely dangerous had just entered. .

"Sister Lingyue?"

Xu Taiping, who felt increasingly uneasy, rolled over from the bed and shouted outside the room door.

Still no one responded.

Just when he was thinking about whether to go to the medicine garden to take a look, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the letter weighed down by a ruler on the table.

He quickly stepped forward to pick it up and take a look——

"Xiao Taiping, when you read this letter, my sister has already gone back to sleep among the dead branches of the fruit. I left this letter to tell you a few things."

What caught Xu Taiping's eyes was a line of very elegant and free handwriting.

The words are just like the person, at first glance they were left by Fairy Lingyue.

However, when Xu Taiping continued to look down, the joy that had just surged in his heart because of the breakthrough suddenly disappeared -

"When you broke through just now, you attracted the demon from outside the territory. This is most likely related to your divine soul qualification."

"Extraterritorial Demon?"

Xu Taiping never thought that such an existence, which he had only appeared in the Qingxuan Sect's classics and legends, would appear next to him.

…

After a while.

Xu Taiping finally read the letter completely.

Although there are still many things that he doesn't quite understand, such as the "transparent Taoist heart", such as the "extraterrestrial demon", but he understands the matter of sister Lingyue suddenly falling asleep again——

"Just when I thought my breakthrough was successful, Sister Lingyue was risking her own death to help me drive away the extraterrestrial demon."

As soon as he thought of this, he put away the unfolded letter, and the joy and surprise in his eyes faded like a tide.

He closed the window, solemnly put the envelope into the wooden box given to him by his grandfather, then sat back on the bed without saying a word and began to cross his legs and do Qigong exercises.

The scenes that happened tonight gave the young Xu Taiping a first glimpse of the dangers of the spiritual path.

"If it weren't for Sister Lingyue, even if I break through the Open Door Realm tonight, I'm afraid my soul will have been swallowed up by the demon. The road ahead is long. I can't always rely on Sister Lingyue. Since I have the qualifications to practice now, then I will I have to work a hundred times harder and work a hundred times harder than other monks, so that this mortal body can also embark on the road to heaven! If the one who blocks my way is the monster tiger, I will kill that monster tiger. My Taoist is the devil, so I will kill the devil!"

Xu Taiping silently made up his mind.

In fact, perhaps even Fairy Lingyue failed to see that Xu Taiping's greatest reliance on the path of cultivation was not a clear Taoist mind, but the tenacious will honed under the guidance of his grandfather since childhood.

…

Also on this night.

Qingfeng Gorge, inside the tiger demon's cave.

"Ouch!..."

The tiger demon stood on the top of the canyon and roared with all his strength. The ripples of power caused by the sound spread from the top of the mountain like ripples on the water, frightening all the ferocious beasts in the mountains to crawl to the ground.

"My king's injury is finally almost healed. He will be fully recovered in another month!"

The tiger demon laughed ferociously, then touched the long scar on his face, and looked at the red maple forest outside the cave with a fierce light in his eyes and said:

"Mo Jun of the Fifth Peak, do you want me to be your mount? You are worthy! After I recover from my injury, if you dare to come to Qingfeng Gorge again, I will definitely let you taste the secret treasure of the Shuofeng Tiger clan, the Cloud-Eating Pearl. the taste of."

While speaking, he suddenly put his hand into his mouth and took out a silver-white bead.

"boom!"

The moment the Cloud Devouring Bead appeared, strong winds suddenly blew in the red maple forest outside the cave. Many two people hugging thick maple trees were directly cut off by the wind blade.

Looking at the scene of raging wind outside the cave, the tiger demon swallowed back the cloud-devouring beads with satisfaction, then suppressed his smile, turned his eyes in the direction of Qingzhu Residence, and then said in a cold voice:

"And you, you little bastard from Qingzhuju, if you dare to hurt me, I will turn you into a ghost, and you will be tortured by me for the rest of your life!"
