Volume 1 The Jade Tang Chapter 63 Asking the Question Bell Rings, Confucian Preaching!
At this moment, Mu Bai only felt that his soul was like a knife, all thoughts were lost, everything was far away from him, and the fire of life was crumbling.
Suddenly, the scenes in my memory resurfaced, like three-dimensional pictures, surrounding Mu Bai.
It was a four or five-year-old child, defenseless, full of stains, mud, condensed hair, clear eyes, following behind a majestic white wolf, Xu was still young, Xu was hungry, crawling on all fours and staggering. The moon was dark and the wind was high, and the white wolf protected the captured flesh and blood, so that the child could eat it first, but unfortunately the child's teeth were immature, and he learned from the wolf mother and tore it for half a day to eat a piece of flesh and blood.
Summer Night Cicada Song, a shabby-dressed, but not dirty teenager, lying outside the window of the study hall, eavesdropping on the old gentleman's lecture. The night is quiet and bright, and the innocent teenager leans on his mother's arms and tells the content of the school. The thunder was loud, the family sat under the eaves, listening to the sound of the rain, and the young man's eyes were fixed on the wooden sword sharpened in his father's hand, and the color of anticipation grew stronger.
Autumn knows the fallen leaves, that is an extraordinary demeanor, determined young man, in order to be angry with his senior brother, he recited "Huiyang Nine Needles" without sleep and food. Lin Shen Ye Mao, the young man was under the cliff, full of spirit, talking about the principles of herbal medicine, looking forward to being appreciated by the old man Qin. In the middle of the night and the moonlight, the four masters and apprentices sat in the pavilion with the old man, and they told anecdotes and lovers.
Winter goes to spring, it is a strong and unyielding, hard-working and persistent white-robed disciple, who wants to succeed in condensing his qi and sitting for nine days, just for that trace of qi. When the bright moon was in the sky, the white-robed disciples were hard to set up a formation on the mountainside, so tired that they fainted, just to get a chance to practice. In front of everyone's eyes, the white-robed figure stood on the martial arts arena, gritting his teeth to bear the fire, fainting from overdraft, regardless of life and death, just wanting to fight for a future above the big competition.
Memories of the past, scenes reappear.
Mu Bai's soul was torn apart by Qiu Yuanqi, and then turned into wisps of clear air, blending into the big mouth of the blood basin of alienated Qi, time was like ten years in the blink of an eye for Mu Bai at this moment, both long and short.
"Is this what my life should be? I still have an immortal dream that has not yet been completed, and I still have to honor my grandfather, how can I give up just like that!"
"I have passed the seven questions of the Dao Zhong, stepping on the mountains and rivers of the dream realm, how can I be hurt by such a risk, I Mu Bai is destined to stand on the top of the immortal, immortal with the sky, and boundless with the earth!" Mu Bai's soul that was pulled and devoured let out an unwilling roar, as if it had turned into a flood beast, and forcibly broke free from Qiu Yuanqi's devouring.
Escaped from Mu Bai's mouth, Qiu Yuanqi immediately returned to his normal appearance, but looked at Mu Bai in surprise, he didn't expect that he was already about to succeed, but he fell short. Immediately, his face became hideous, and his eyes looking at Mu Bai became more and more fierce.
"Do you think you'll get away with it! Boy, you're naΓ―ve. β
Qiu Yuanqi was about to devour Mu Bai again, but was frightened by the next scene, and suddenly, Mu Bai's soul suddenly emitted a yellow light, and then a black shadow that covered the sky and the sun appeared in Mu Bai's mind and suppressed the heads of the two.
Its power was so strong that Qiu Yuanqi bowed down and couldn't straighten his waist, but Mu Bai didn't feel the slightest discomfort under this huge black shadow, and even felt bursts of warmth sweep over his entire soul, and the knife-like pain disappeared completely.
In a daze, Mu Bai looked up at the sky, the black shadow was nothing else, it was the asking clock that Mu Bai had seen when he entered, but it was different from what he saw at the time, it was extremely illusory at this time, and it seemed to be projected from the asking clock.
When he saw the Dao Bell, it was only nine zhang high, and now it appeared in Mu Bai's mind. But it is like the mountain of the sky, more than a hundred feet, above the illusory black bell, the mountains, rivers and seas are fully displayed, the sun, moon and stars shine together, the dragon and phoenix and the beasts resonate, the momentum is great, the shock of ancient and modern, the life of Mu Bai and the two worlds, there has been such a magnificent picture. Moreover, such images only appear on a large black clock.
"It's... Boy, what have you done, why can't the old man move!" Qiu Yuanqi bent over, trembling in both strands, and roared in a low voice.
Mu Bai was shocked by the spectacle in front of him, where did he still have the heart to respond to Qiu Yuanqi.
Boom!
The black bell suddenly rang, the momentum was huge, and it swept away, Qiu Yuanqi was already trembling in two ways, after this loud noise, Yuanqi fell directly to the ground, and a terrible scream came out, as if he was suffering great pain.
Mu Bai stood quietly on the side, calmly, without the slightest discomfort, his calm face was in stark contrast to Qiu Yuanqi's screams.
Boom~!
Another loud bang came, Qiu Yuanqi knelt on the ground, his soul trembled violently, and then wisps of clear air emanated, and Qiu Yuanqi's soul became even more illusory. The wisp of clear qi did not dissipate, but favored Mu Bai, after surrounding Mu Bai's soul for a week, it merged into it, the integration of clear qi, Mu Bai obviously felt a feeling of refreshment, the whole person's brain was clear, and the scope of perception became wider and wider.
The black bell rang again, and Qiu Yuanqi, who was in pain, seemed to have come to another world, and at this moment he became a mortal, an ordinary soldier holding a spear to resist. Before he could react again, the enemy troops around him rushed towards him.
Although he was at a loss at this time, after all, Yuan Qi had lived for hundreds of years, how could he be easily injured by mortals, and then he raised his spear to fight the enemy.
In his mind, Mu Bai looked at Qiu Yuanqi in a daze, at this moment Qiu Yuanqi was like a walking corpse, standing under the bell of the question, wisps of clear air floated out, slowly blending into Mu Bai's soul, Mu Bai's soul became more and more substantial, no longer as illusory as before.
And Qiu Yuanqi is still fighting in the dream, the enemy army kills and pushes a wave, and immediately the next wave comes, endlessly, in the end, Qiu Yuanqi still died in the battlefield, and he couldn't escape from the dream until he died, in reality, Qiu Yuanqi's soul has all turned into pure air, surrounding Mu Bai's soul.
Outside of their minds, the three of them were still sitting cross-legged, waiting for Mu Bai to wake up, the sun rose in the east, and the snow gradually melted, because of Mu Bai's matter, Chen Mengxiong was not present, and the competition naturally could not be held, so it could only be postponed.
The sun rises and sets, the moon falls and the moon rises, a full seven days have passed, and the three of them have not been able to wait for Mu Bai to wake up, originally Nangong Dawn was not very worried, but at this moment he also began to worry, there was no movement for the whole seven days, and he did not dare to be sure of the thoughts in his heart.
"Senior brother, didn't you say that Mu Bai had a great chance of defeating that old thief, but now that seven days have passed, there is still no movement. Long Feng asked in a deep voice, and Chen Mengxiong also opened his eyes and looked at Nangong Dawn, waiting for this sect master's reply.
When Nangong heard this, he was silent for a while, and after a while, he slowly got up and paced back and forth in the wooden house, but after half a day, he didn't say a word.
The afterglow fell, Nangong Dawn looked at the clouds that were gradually dissipating in the distant sky, sighed softly, and said, "Continue to wait, since the signs of life are as usual now, then there is still a chance." β
In his mind, Mu Bai sat cross-legged under the black bell of the question, the clear qi that surrounded his soul had now been completely absorbed by him, and at this moment his soul was extremely clear, like a substance, and there was a faint glimmer of light outside his body.
Knock! The silent black bell rang loudly again, echoing in Mu Bai's mind, this time the black bell rang, and the picture scroll on the bell no longer flaunted, but became a little dim, even a little chaotic.
Then, the black bell rotated retrogradely, and on the bell, dragons and phoenixes rang in unison, mountains and rivers were waves, all beasts roared, and the sun and moon emitted dazzling golden light.
In the wooden house, Mu Bai, who was sitting cross-legged, appeared outside his body and asked the appearance of the black bell, but it was extremely illusory, but the sound of the bell rang, the sound was not loud, but it was extremely melodious, resounding in the entire Xiaoshan Sect, this change shocked the spirits of the three people sitting cross-legged, and stared closely at the illusory black bell outside Mu Bai's body.
However, the bell shadow outside Mu Bai's body only lasted for three breaths, and then quietly dissipated. Disobedience exists.
"Hey, did you hear the bell?" asked a white-robed disciple as he turned to the people beside him.
"You hear that, too, how do I feel that this bell is so similar to the bell of the third test at the entrance!"
The white-robed disciple looked disdainful and quipped: "This bell can be compared to the bell during the test, when the bell rings during the test, I'm afraid you will have to vomit blood and fall to the ground again." β
"Go, go, go, you know how to mock me!" replied the square-faced man next to him indignantly.
In his mind, the crazy spinning black bell of Dao had stopped rotating at this moment, and a golden light appeared outside the black bell, slowly converging into a figure, as soon as the shadow appeared, the scroll on the Dao bell changed, the mountains and rivers collapsed, the rivers and seas flowed backwards, the sun, moon and stars were silent, and the dragons, phoenixes and beasts bowed their heads.
The figure appeared on the bell, Mu Bai looked at it fixedly, the figure was like a young man, but his eyes were full of vicissitudes, as far as his eyes could see, as if he had a glance for ten thousand years, with the scattered white robe on his body, the spirit of the fairy gods was full of energy, and the momentum of Confucianism was vigorous.
Then, the scene in front of Mu Bai's eyes changed, but the figure of the young Confucian did not disappear, but sat under the starry sky, his eyes were burning, staring ahead, before Mu Bai could react, the Confucian student began to speak, word by word from his mouth, like Hong Zhong Da Lu, Yu Zhenjin sound.
"The avenue is invisible, giving birth to the world, the avenue is ruthless, running the sun and the moon, the avenue is nameless, and all things are nourished for a long time; I don't know its name, but the strong name is the Tao." The Husband: There is clarity and turbidity, movement and stillness, the sky is clear and turbid, and the sky is moving and quiet. Men are clear and women are turbid, men are moving and women are quiet. Reduce the cost to the end, and give birth to all things. The source of turbidity is clear, and the foundation of stillness is moving. People can always be quiet, and heaven and earth will return. The lady's mind is so clear, but her heart is disturbed, and the heart is so quiet, and she wants to lead her. β
At the exit of the Dao sound, the sea of stars behind the Confucian scholar emitted bursts of brilliance, and then a piece of chaos was conspicuous, and the clear and turbid qi were intertwined, and after a long time, they were divided into two groups, which were distinct.
Clear and turbid, majestic, but in Mu Bai's view, it is extremely quiet, at this moment, his whole heart is quiet, clear and turbid, the stars flow, did not make his heart fluctuate.
