Chapter 5 The night is dark

Youlian Peak, is one of the 36 peaks of Tianlian Mountain, quiet and far, ancient Dao Sensen, different from other peaks, Youlian Mountain is extremely quiet, there are very few birds and beasts, and even ordinary snakes, insects, mosquitoes and ants, are extremely rare, therefore, the elders of the Xuanqing Sect in the past dynasties like to find a place to live in Youlian Mountain, retreat and practice, the picture is the tranquility of Youlian, which is also a very special peak in Tianlian Mountain.

β€”β€”Excerpt from "The Mountains and Rivers of Ten Thousand Secretaries"

At this time, it was already midnight, the night was as heavy as ink, cold as snow, in this night when the moon was covered by dark clouds, the Tianlian Peak was also covered with a thick layer of darkness, in the rest house of the disciples of the Xuanqing Sect, everything was quiet, it seemed that all the creatures were holding their breath.

And in this dwelling shrouded in darkness, there is a bean-sized lamp, which has been jumping and looming. Qing Song felt a little depressed, he had worshiped under Feng Zongren since he was a child, but it was a year later than Qing Nian's entry, the two were of the same age, and they were the same sect, so it was inevitable that they would be close, plus Qing Nian was friendly, although he was two years older than Easy, he had always regarded Qing Song as a younger brother, and on weekdays, he often took care of Qing Song, and Qing Song had always regarded Qing Nian as his brother.

Qing Song has always felt that Senior Brother Qing Nian is an example that he can chase for all his life, Senior Brother Qing Nian is calm and calm in trouble, never offends anyone, and then practices Taoism, he is also diligent, decades like a day, he does not dare to slack off for half a day, and he is already a leader among the disciples of Xuanqing Feng Zongren. And this time, he and his senior brother, trekking through mountains and rivers, went through hardships, cut dozens of flying bears, took out bear bile, and gathered the materials required for the master to configure the bear snake pill. Qing Song originally thought that a person who was diligent and ascetic like Senior Brother Qing Nian, and Ye Jianan, were originally people from two worlds, even if they were in the same Heavenly Lotus Mountain Xuanqing Sect, it was only because Ye Jianan was Uncle Ye's beloved son. Xuanqing Sect is the Central Plains Righteous Path Bull Ear, that Ye Jianan, but reincarnation luck is a little better, so that in this Xuanqing Sect, there is a place, but that Ye Jianan, not only do not cherish this unique opportunity, do not diligently practice Xuanqing Supreme Dao Method, but all day long, playing with some cockfighting lackeys, using the magic weapon passed down by Uncle Ye, tricking some lowly junior brothers, compared with Senior Brother Qingnian, Senior Brother Qingnian is not only decent, frank and open, a gentleman's demeanor, but also friendly and polite, Even if he treats some new junior disciples, he is polite to deal with, without any senior brother's style, and he is constantly practicing on weekdays, how can he have any time to be idle, these two people are fundamentally different!

And hateful Ye Jianan, who doesn't want to make progress on weekdays, actually wants to steal the achievements of others, and comes to ask for the little holy pill, but Senior Brother Qingnian politely refuses, but that Ye Jianan, who took advantage of the critical juncture of my and Senior Brother Qingnian's cultivation, secretly made the Dao Fa, imprisoned us, forcibly took away the little holy pill, and Shi Shiran left. Senior Brother Qingnian and I, after the imprisonment was loosened and the Tao was restored, we hurriedly chased out of the room, but unexpectedly the scourge, although the Tao is not deep, the cultivation is still shallow, but its cunning is endless, how do you know that although Ye Jianan left calmly at that time, but in his heart, he was also afraid that Qing Nian and Qing Song had a deep cultivation, and he was afraid of being caught up on the spot, so he left the door of the room and the windows were covered with all kinds of Taoism.

Fire and thunder technique, almost every Xuanqing disciple will practice the basic Taoist technique, with the Taoist true method, seal the fire thunder, or throw the enemy and explode, or bury in one place, once someone steps on it, it will explode immediately, the power can be large or small, depending on the caster's cultivation.

Qing Nian and Qing Song, who were the best among the second generation of disciples, had a deep cultivation, and should not have been hit by this low-level Taoism, but first, they were imprisoned for a long time, and they were embarrassed and anxious, and secondly, they were anxious to pursue Ye Jianan, and they did not check carefully at the door, and the three did not expect Ye Jianan, so cunning, they were ambushed, Qing Nian and Qing Song chased out in a hurry, and chased them to the gate of the mountain, but they ran into Wu Yan and Zhenyan because of this.

When Qing Song thought of this, he was even more hateful, so that when he should have rested, he still couldn't sleep peacefully, and the resentment in his heart seemed to be carrying irritability and resentment, wandering everywhere in his body. He couldn't sit still, he pushed open the door and went to Qing Nian's room.

The night is as deep as ink!

"Senior brother, I'm not reconciled."

"Senior brother, why is he Ye Jianan bullying people like this!"

"Senior brother, we have gone through hardships to get the gift of the master, and the little Shengdan, which we have worked hard and worked hard to get in exchange, was it taken away by him like this?"

"Senior brother, you have something to say."

Qing Song saw that Qing Nian had been silent, and he had been talking for a long time, but his mouth was dry, and he couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and he was about to speak, but he heard Qing Nian's dry voice.

"Senior brother, junior brother Canaan, in the end we belong to the same family, although we said that we lost the little holy pill, but after all, we still blame ourselves for not learning well, if we cultivate more deeply, then Senior Brother Ye, how can we imprison us, now we are just going to this matter, to the elders' house, that Ye Jianan, although there is no punishment is indispensable, but for ourselves, it is not beneficial, Senior Brother Ye, he is Uncle Ye's beloved son after all, even if he doesn't pursue us on the surface, but secretly, who can know, no matter anything else, It's the disciples of Uncle Ye's lineage, who secretly put some stumbling blocks on us, which is enough for us to bear, although the master loves us, he doesn't want to have any conflicts with Uncle Ye because of us. ”

"But, Uncle Ye, haven't you been in retreat?" The road of the green pine.

Like a lightning bolt in the dark night, it instantly illuminated the resentment hidden in Qing Nian's heart, his face was flushed, his chest couldn't stop rising and falling, and his heart seemed to be beating violently because of some factor, and he breathed deeply, as if to calm the sudden commotion in his heart.

Qing Nian looked at the door of the room, it seemed that there was a poisonous snake hidden there, for a long time, "You say, if Ye Jianan mutilates the same door, how will the torture hall deal with it?" After finishing speaking, I realized that my voice was so dry and hoarse.

Qing Song was taken aback, "Senior brother, that Ye Jianan, although it is bad, but such a thing that violates the door rules and prohibitions, I must not dare to do it." But he heard Qing Nian's low laughter, "How do you know that he doesn't dare to do it?" This voice was so low and hoarse, it was so mild and mellow in the past, it seemed to be a different person, Qing Song's heart suddenly throbbed for no reason, he turned around, and the blood-devouring ruthlessness in the blood-red eyes in front of him was so perverse and ruthless!

At this moment, the night is dark!

And at this time, under the same vast night, a secluded place in Youlian Peak, is full of immortal energy, here is the Xuanqing Sect Zhangjiao Qingwei Zhenren retreat place, mantra look around, here is in the belly of Youlian Peak, the whole retreat place, like a huge mouth small bottom big bottle, all around is smooth mountain wall, not even a trace of gaps, the mountain body from both sides to the middle of the close, there are still dozens of zhang radius at the bottom, but to more than 100 zhang, there is only one person in the cave to enter and exit. Zhenyan looked up at the entrance of the cave, and he flew down from this hundred-zhang high hole.

"The way of heaven is to make up for the deficiency when there is more loss, but the way of man is not, the loss is not enough to give more than enough. The Tao is born of all things naturally, and human beings are born from heaven and earth, with three souls and seven spirits, and a synthetic soul, if you want to give birth to a second divine soul for no reason, it is also at the peak of humanity, and it is abandoned by the way of heaven. Stealing the sky, stealing the sky, stealing the sky, what is the so-called stealing. Qingwei Zhenren looked at the mantra and said slowly, "Master Wuyan, Truth Word Master and Nephew, forgive this seat for being blunt, a few days ago, this seat and several junior disciples explored the body of Truth Word Master and Nephew together, it is indeed a lack of heaven, and in the soul, there is a soul and a soul missing, but it is just ......" Qingwei Zhenren frowned slightly, as if he wanted to say and stopped.

"If there is something difficult for Qingwei Zhenren, just say it clearly." No resentment. But seeing that Qingwei Zhenren smiled slightly bitterly, he did not answer. But I heard a majestic male voice sound, "Master Wuyan, let me say it for the senior brother in charge, the master and nephew of the Shingon Master inherited the Wuxiang Temple, and the true yuan cultivated by the cultivator does not match my Xuanqing lineage, if it is entered by us and other people, with our own true yuan, it will only be a few years of work." The man who spoke had a red face and big eyebrows, a wide mouth and a lion's nose, and a faint reddish-brown touch between his hair.

"I hope Senior Brother Feng will explain it in detail." No nod of resentment. This Senior Brother Feng, whose name is Zongwu, is the junior disciple of Qingwei Zhenren, and his cultivation is unfathomable, and Qingsong and Qingnian are his disciples. The Xuanqing Sect is at the top of the Central Plains Cultivation Path, and there are countless talents, especially in today's generation of Qingwei Zhenren, there are seven famous figures at that time. These seven people, all cultivated to the sky, the Tao is superb, and in the years that followed, one fell, one disappeared, and now, there are only five people left, these five people are now the head of the Xuanqing Sect, Qingwei Zhenren Sikong Zongyu, Feng Zongwu, Zongsaihua, Ye Zonglun monk Ruyi. Except for Ye Zonglun who was not in retreat, Shang Ruyi was in charge of the Xuanqing Sect Torture Hall, and the remaining affairs of the Xuanqing Sect were only Qingwei Zhenren in charge of the overall situation, and Feng and Zong assisted from the side. Feng Zongwu and Zong Saihua were originally brothers and sisters, but after a long time of love, they became a couple, which was not a good story at that time.

Feng Zongwu turned his head to look at the mantra and sighed, "It is really a piece of good quality jade," he changed his words and said to Wu Yan, "Master, this stealing heaven and sheng god is the Xuangong of the Daomen, the cultivation of the true yuan is very different from the noble sect, and there is nothing in common, so the qi enters the body and gathers the second divine soul, and the use of the Daomen True Yuan, if you cultivate my Xuanqing Zhenyuan with your own body, you can naturally slowly nourish and strengthen the divine soul, and then the divine soul feeds back to itself, and the two sides benefit, but if it is the nephew of the true word, with the unphased divine skill of this body, But it cannot nourish the divine soul, and under the consumption of day and night, the divine soul will inevitably slowly shrink and finally disappear. ”

The mantra is like planting a tree, the pine tree likes soft soil and sunshine, and under the care of it day and night, it will inevitably thrive, and if it is given a rocky and shady environment, it will not live long until it dies. He was thinking about it, but he heard Feng Zongwu's voice sound, "If there can be a nine-colored lotus, supplemented by the Xuanqing Dao method, and the non-phased true element of the mantra master's nephew's own body, through the nine-colored lotus, it is also a way to remove the turnip and nourish the soul." It's just that this nine-colored lotus ......"

"But the nine-colored lotus flower of the ancient Buzhou Mountain?" Unrelentingly, the nine-colored lotus flower is not a flower, but a piece of jade. In the legend, in ancient times, outside the Northwest Sea, in the corner of the great wilderness, there are mountains but not together, the name is not Zhou, the northwest peak of the mountain, one day the pool, the sky stands sharp and hanging ****, named Lingyun stalactites, the color is magnificent, and the pool below is as quiet as a mirror. Lingyun stalactites absorb the essence of heaven and earth, and it takes a hundred years to condense a drop of holy water. The holy water has been filtered for a hundred years, pure and flawless, and the water of Yao Chi has been refined by holy water, which is clean into clouds, widely spread between heaven and earth, and becomes the boundary of heaven and earth. Later, the Gonggong angrily touched the Zhou Mountain, and the Lingyun stalactites cracked, containing jade, nine colors flowing, like a lotus.

"Senior brother, don't say anything, this nine-colored lotus is just a rumor, whether there is really such a treasure in this world, it is unknown." Qingwei Zhenren said with a hint of anger, he turned around and saluted to Master Wuyan, "Master, this retreat place, the connotation formation, although it can't completely blind the heavens, but it is also slightly stronger than other places, if there is a ...... then" He paused, turned around and said to Zhenyan, "Zhenyan, Senior Brother Feng will cross his true yuan into your body in a while, you have to relax yourself, don't resist with luck." Zhenyan nodded, "Yes, disciple remember." ”

Sikong Zongyu shouted, "Get up!" The whole person involuntarily flew into the air, and sat a foot above the ground. Immediately, Sikong Zongyu also flew up and sat in the air face to face with the mantra. A faint blue light lit up, and Mantra sat with his eyes closed, and his body involuntarily slowly rotated around Sikong Zongyu. Sikong Zongyu sat with his eyes closed, motionless. Immediately afterwards, two green qi slowly appeared from Sikong Zongyu's hanging hands, these two green qi seemed to be the same, but under a closer look, a white light appeared in one and a black light appeared in the other. These two green qi are distinct, around the body of the mantra, slowly rotating, with the operation of Sikong Zongyu's true yuan, the green qi is getting thicker and shorter, and finally slowly, it actually forms the appearance of two fish.

These two fish, which are exactly the same in appearance, are both cyan, but one has a white eye and the other has a black eye. The two fish, one head up and one head down, swim cross-fertically around Mantra. As Sikong Zongyu's green qi gradually condensed, the outlines of these two herring fish became clearer and clearer, the body of the fish became larger and larger, and the fin and tail of the fish whiskers were all vivid, and even the lines on the fish scales were clearly visible. These two herring fish, with the action of Sikong Zongyu, kept getting bigger and expanding, just a moment of effort, it was already very huge, the head and tail were about dozens of zhang, up and down about seven or eight zhang, as soon as these two fish appeared, they were immediately filled with the originally empty cave, and the two huge fish floated in the air, slowly swimming around the mantra. The black and white fish's eyes were the size of a fist, blinking at the mantra sitting in the middle.

I saw Sikong Zongyu suddenly stretch out his right hand, and his index finger and middle finger pointed out, "Duh! As soon as the words fell, the mantra that was originally revolving around Sikong Zongyu suddenly stopped, and it happened to be facing away from Sikong Zongyu, Sikong Zongyu's eyes widened, his right hand waved again and again, and one after another, the green qi was waved out at the tips of his fingers, frozen in the void in front of him, and with his movements non-stop, the green qi condensed and did not disperse, and slowly formed a Dao talisman condensed in the void. He shouted, fingers moving slightly, "Go!" The cyan Dao talisman in front of him suddenly flew into Manyan's body and disappeared.

The mantra suddenly trembled as if he had been struck by lightning, and only heard the voice of the micro real person sound, "Let nature go, don't resist with luck." Zhenyan's brows tightened slightly, and then gradually calmed down. And with the cyan Dao talisman into the body, the originally slow swimming in the air herring, also suddenly increased its speed, swimming up and down around the mantra, only to see Sikong Zongyu's hands connected by the green qi, floating in the air The huge herring fish, swimming faster and faster, the huge fish body gradually shrunk, and in the end, the swimming speed has become faster and faster, leaving only two groups of gradually shrinking cyan light and shadow, flying up and down around the mantra, and then the light and shadow suddenly stopped, only to see the two originally huge herring fish, At this moment, they have shrunk to the size of an inch, the emerald green body of the fish, rich as if it is about to drip water, two fish, one up and one up, the white eyes stay on the top of the mantra's head, and the black eyes stay on the soles of the mantra's feet. The body of the fish swayed slightly, and in the void, layers of cyan ripples appeared.

Suddenly, the back of the mantra, the blue light, the Dao talisman that had originally entered the mantra's body, suddenly lit up. The fish, which had been swimming slightly, went up and down and got into it from the top of Mantra's head and the soles of its feet. Under the urging of Sikong Sect Yu Zhenyuan, these two herring fish, from the top of their heads and feet, swam to the middle respectively, and every time they arrived, Zhenyan's body was covered with blue light.

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable." Feng Zongwu recited a trumpet in a low voice, and saw that Master Wuyi was staring nervously at the two herring fish on Manyan's body, "Master, this is the senior brother in charge, with his own true yuan, he turned into a herring fish, and his qi entered the body, and when the two herring fish merged into one, and the green qi filled his body, he could start to reshape his soul." Qingwei Zhenren said lightly, looked over without disgust, and saw that the green qi was just like what Feng Zongwu said, like clear water impregnating, covering the body of the mantra inch by inch, but this green qi, the progress is getting slower and slower, and the two green qi are not allowed to enter an inch when they reach the vicinity of the dantian, but there are faint signs of regression.

"Huh," Qingwei Zhenren frowned slightly, his eyes widened, the wide robe was windless, only to hear a loud shout, the green light on his fingertips skyrocketed, and the two blue lights in the mantra's body closed to the middle like a tide, and it was about to merge into one, and suddenly a sudden change occurred.
