Chapter 43, the ghost fire is all over the mountain
Xiang Zuo Fox took advantage of Liu Li's unpreparedness to suddenly attack the killer, this scene was clearly seen by the You Fang on the mountain beam, that little bit of faint blue light is the purest Yin Qi condensed to the extreme, it seems to be a kind of thing that almost everyone has heard of, but rarely seen with their own eyes - ghost fire.
In the cemetery at night, especially in the mass graves with heavy gloomy atmosphere, people can often see a little blue flame fluttering, which is called ghost fire by the folk. Modern people try to explain it from a scientific point of view, there is a view that they are phosphorus fires, human bones contain phosphorus, and after decay and decomposition, phosphine will be formed under the action of water and alkali in the soil, and phosphine has a very low ignition point and can spontaneously combust in the air.
This view sounds very reasonable, but there are many places that do not make sense, and it has not been confirmed so far, and it is just a hypothesis and speculation. There are also some more mysterious phenomena, ghost fires generally appear on rainy days, and the yin qi is suppressed and difficult to disperse. And they are easily attracted to anger, and if a living person walks by, they will float behind them, and if they look back, they can be half scared to death if they are timid.
Professor Wu Pingdong once had an idea to use experiments to confirm what the ghost fire was, by collecting samples for spectral analysis and other means, but it has not been successful. Because this kind of thing is not something that can be seen in the cemetery, it may appear at some point, and the difficulty of collecting samples is too great, and even if you see it, it is difficult to collect.
The gloomy air flow converging towards the left fox was similar to a ghost fire, but it was much more terrifying than an ordinary ghost fire. You Fang's spiritual sense naturally has an extremely dangerous induction, this thing must not be touched, by this dense blue light sprinkled on the body, the whole person is afraid that the whole person will be soaked by the purest and richest yin qi on the spot, exposed to the mountain air, in the blink of an eye, it will be corrupted into slag like Liu Li's two secret books, and no matter how many lives can be saved.
The six-pole flag planted next to the left fox should be a kind of formation, You Fang has never seen it at all, but when he sees this frame, he can guess that it is the Yin Gathering Array mentioned in the feng shui book. The Yin Gathering Array he saw in the book was much more complicated than this, and a master like Xiang Zuohu had reached the point of simplifying and eclectic, and he could do it with just six flags.
With the help of the formation to gather all the yin qi within the reach of the divine consciousness, as soon as the yin qi in the center is closed, the "yin vacuum" with the imbalance of yin and yang will be formed in the periphery, and the yin qi in the mountains and fields on all sides will naturally converge here, and then be retracted again, and the range of operation is far beyond the reach of the divine consciousness, which is the amplification of the power of the spiritual consciousness in the formation.
The second function of the formation is to condense and refine the gathered yin qi, and then use the divine sense to guide the attack. The third function of the formation is to protect the caster himself, such a rich and pure yin qi does not dare to touch the left fox directly, the range enclosed by the six-pole flagpole is a protective zone, and the yin qi gathers but shoots towards Liu Li around the outside of the flagpole, and the power reaches the extreme in the three-zhang place between the two, and even glows with a little blue light.
If Xiang Zuohu is demonstrating the operation of the formation, it is a rare learning opportunity for the tour side. It was the first time he had seen someone launch a feng shui formation on the spot, and it was a rare master like Xiang Zuohu. But at this moment, Liu Li was suddenly attacked when he turned around, and You Fang was so shocked that he could only shout: "Be careful-!" ”
Liu Li looked back and asked what seemed to be distracted, but the old man seemed to have expected what Xiang Zuohu would do, and had been waiting for him to make a move. Launching the magic circle to the left fox, the old man's right hand behind his back immediately swung out, and his body spun in a circle, and the bayonet in his hand pulled a strange knife flower.
The old man's movements are very funny, if you see it in normal times, you may laugh out loud, this circle of knife flowers is not like any set of martial arts moves, but like holding a pair of chopsticks against a ring cauldron in the noodles, and this invisible noodles are still very long, how to fish constantly! As strange things happened to his movements, the little blue light seemed to rush into a whirlpool and disappeared in all directions, as if it had been boiled in a large cauldron, and it did not touch the old man at all.
This knife flower appeared, and You Fang suddenly felt that the solid mountain beam under his feet seemed to become a soft noodle-shaped, and he stood unsteadily and fell back a few steps, but fortunately leaned against the tree and did not roll down the mountain. The old man stirred up the earth qi in the environment, causing the illusion of the wandering party, and the mind also reacted incorrectly to the control of the body. This trick was taught by the upstream side in the first confrontation with Liu Li in the suburbs of Qingxian County.
Seeing that Liu Li was prepared, the sneak attack on the left fox was unsuccessful, he suddenly stomped his feet, raised the slender bone spur in his hand in front of him and waved it rhythmically, seeing that his movements were very similar to the band conductor on the stage, the posture was very chic and rhythmic, but the expression on his face was extremely hideous and unartistic.
The converging gloomy torrent no longer shines directly, but like strange waves undulating and scattering, circling left and right, condensing into bursts of blue light from time to time, like a huge wave silently slapping towards Liu Li, the grass and trees within three zhang are all rotten and muddy in the snap of a finger, and the land also presents a strange deep black, almost no reflection, and the flat ground looks like a bottomless abyss.
Liu Li's movements also changed, his left hand held the compass steadily, and his right hand held the military thorn to point to the earth in front of him, and he still had words in his mouth, looking like a Taoist priest who practiced exorcism, but in his hand it was not a peachwood sword but a cold bayonet. It's strange to say, no matter how sharp and gloomy the attack on the left fox is, it was calmly resolved, and a ** blue light disappeared with his knife momentum into the ground, but Liu Li's expression became more and more solemn.
I don't know how the two masters who are fighting each other feel about each other, but You Fang, who is in the battle on the mountain beam in the distance, can't stand it. Seeing the attack of the fox to the left, the pervasive chill almost soaked the bone marrow, and it felt like he was being buried alive, the cold soil had covered his neck, his body was still sinking, and his consciousness was drowsy in fear. Seeing Liu Li's parry, I felt that all my internal organs were being torn, and my body's facial features were also deformed and distorted, not to mention resisting hard, it was good that it didn't become a pile of mud.
Damn, it's so powerful at a glance? At this moment, You Fang wished that he had no spiritual sense at all, and even no facial features, just an ignorant and desireless stupid pig. Although the battle between the two masters was wonderful and rare, You Fang didn't dare to look at it anymore, closed his eyes and restrained his mind, and tried his best to restrain his spiritual sense not to sense anything, and leaned against the tree softly.
He just closed his eyes, but Liu Li spoke, and his voice came from afar, but he heard it very clearly: "Little wanderer, isn't it very uncomfortable?" If you can bear it, try to take as many looks as you can. Songhegu Xiangjia is good at feng shui formation, and the sect leader Mr. Zuohu is a first-class formation master, but it's a pity that I want to kill him today, this opportunity to observe is too rare, take a look at it less! ”
This old man's mouth never suffers, and he doesn't forget to hurt people in such a fierce fight. Where did You Fang dare to open his eyes, but he also consciously "cooperated" with Liu Li, struggling and shouting: "It's nothing to see, I just came from the Eighth University today, and I have learned the kind of thousand-year-old array where heaven and man are combined, with this bowl of water at the bottom, what are just a few flags?" Have the ability to insert it into the eight major places, to see if his broken flagpole is powerful, or is the Buddha Relic Stupa powerful? ”
Liu Li actually had the heart to teach him a lesson, and scolded: "Boy, it's not right for you to talk like this, don't forget that he is still a big living person!" The power of one person is always exhausted, and how many nails can be hit by iron? The beauty of the feng shui formation is that it is also a kind of spiritual center and spiritual guidance, which can be used to run the mountains, rivers and earth qi for my use, and play the effect of dialing thousands of catties in four taels. ”
You Fang: "Four taels, I think it's two taels, right?" There is a local saying in the countryside that a dog can't put two taels of oil on his head...... "When he shouted here, he was already out of breath, and what he said was nonsense."
Xiang Zuohu's nose was about to be crooked, the two were obviously evenly matched, and Liu Li was on the defensive and did not have the upper hand at all, but he pulled a stinky boy to take advantage of his mouth, looking like he didn't take him seriously. He finally couldn't help but shout: "Liu Li, as a contemporary earth master, don't you know how to look at the sky?" It's about to fall into the night, the yin qi between heaven and earth will become heavier and heavier, and my Yin Gathering Array has been launched, no matter how great your magical power is, can you still fight against the reincarnation of heaven and earth? Don't struggle for nothing! ”
Hearing this, You Fang was also surprised, even if he had just started for a long time, he also knew feng shui and earth qi, and Liu Li really did not take advantage of such a fight, at least it was very unfavorable in terms of time. If the two masters are equal now, Liu Li will definitely not be able to hold out for a long time, he is willing to help, but he doesn't even dare to open his eyes at this moment, how can he intervene?
Liu Li snorted: "Xiang Zuohu, you are too underestimated to be a generation of earth masters!" …… Little wanderer, open your eyes and see how I break the formation! ”
You Fang couldn't help but open his eyes when he heard this, and the flowers in front of him couldn't tell whether they were uncomfortable or frightened, because his body seemed to have disappeared with the change of scenery, leaving only the empty hanging of his spiritual senses. What he saw was still this valley, but he couldn't tell whether it was day or night, and he couldn't tell whether it was spring, summer or autumn and winter. Liu Li was standing still at the moment, holding the compass and pointing to the sky with a bayonet like a statue.
The scenery around the old man seems to be changing rapidly, the alternation of day and night, the cycle of spring, summer, autumn and winter, is not actually happening, but the "mental image" of spiritual induction, which coincides with the night valley in reality, making people suddenly unable to distinguish between dream and reality. Why does this delusion happen? The old man is running the heart disc - the real heart disc technique! The invading spirit of the wandering party made him feel it.
The old man is not investigating the topography or feng shui, the reincarnation evolution of spring, summer, autumn and winter itself is the process of the cycle of heaven and earth, and this land has carried hundreds of millions of years, leaving an indelible imprint. He used the heart disc technique to "awaken" the rings of the years and run the vitality and aura between heaven and earth. The gloomy cold current of the Yin Gathering Array was still there, but it could not compete with the vitality of this heaven and earth. The heart plate was running to the extreme, Liu Li shouted loudly, and the bayonet in his hand waved forward, and everything came to an abrupt end.
Listening to only two clicks, two of the six flagpoles beside Xiang Zuohu were inexplicably broken, and the formation was broken, and the gathered yin qi was still in the valley for a while, but it no longer attacked Liu Li's confluence. The bits of weird blue light floating in mid-air slowly dissipated, but they couldn't be dissipated in a short time.
Lao Tzu's reaction was faster than that of a rabbit, and before the ghost fire was dissipated, he jumped the compass far away, and rushed straight towards the fox to the left with a bayonet, looking at the action of the style of the wandering party assassinating Hu Xuyuan, the tip of the knife trembled slightly and seemed to emit an invisible force, and the ghost fire floating around it separated like a wave, and closed behind him.
Liu Li wanted to take out the guy and go up and stab people directly, as soon as the formation broke the heart disc technique, You Fang felt that his body was "back" again, his head was so dizzy that he didn't even want to open his eyes, he bit the tip of his tongue and tried his best to make himself sober, and Qin Yu also rushed down the mountain beam with Qin Yu in his hand.
The heart disc technique launched by the old man just now is not trivial, although You Fang has just started, he also knows that the consumption is quite huge, no matter how big Liu Li's ability is, he will feel weak, why will he stay if he doesn't help at this time? There was still a ghost fire floating in the valley, and You Fang also released a spiritual sense to disturb the yin qi to separate the ghost fire, but he rushed too fast, and a few bits of blue light rubbed on his body. The number is very small, and the power is not very great, but a few pieces of cloth on the jacket were swept off by the wind during the run, and they turned yellow and gradually decayed when they landed.
No matter how fast the swim party on the mountain beam is, there is no Liu Li fast three zhang away, he and Xiang Zuohu have already exchanged hands, the military spurs and bone spurs are flashing left and right but rarely collide, the two of them are wandering and turning, and the body is fast like a phantom. You Fang, who was running in the distance, could see clearly that Xiang Zuohu's kung fu was not weak, at least not inferior to himself, and even stronger than Liu Li.
rushed to the front and waved Qin Yu to attack the left fox with Liu Li, but his feet slipped like skating, and the air around him seemed to push him in the invisible flow, so he didn't hang to the ground. Swinging his sword several times in succession, he couldn't get close to the battle group where the two were fighting.
Liu Li and Xiang Zuohu are not only fighting in martial arts, they have already fought with their lives, and they have used all the means that can be used. Not only wielding a knife, but also using their divine senses to entangle each other to launch a spiritual attack, and occasionally use the ground qi to defeat the enemy, so it is difficult to insert the entanglement of the swimming party.
After trying three times, he simply didn't rush up, holding the sword in his right hand and supporting his wrist with his left hand, holding the stake to fix his body, concentrating his mind and internal strength, retracting his spiritual sense, concentrating his spirit and energy on the tip of the sword, and staring intently at the left fox in the fight. He did not participate in the fight, but was always ready to respond to Liu Li's sweeping formation, as long as he showed a flaw to the left fox, he would go up and give a sword.
He really stood firm like this, holding his sword and walking slowly step by step, following the figures of the two masters fighting. I don't know when the moonlight has fallen on the side of the mountain beam, and the treasure blade Qin Yu let out a faint whistling, like a woman's longing moan. Whether his posture is bluffing or not, he looks like a fierce beast that wants to pounce, he can scare people without biting people, and he can respond to people without scaring people.
Xiang Zuohu couldn't help but be secretly frightened, of course he knew the prestige of the previous earth masters, but the contemporary earth master Liu Li suffered a heavy blow since sixty-four years ago, and his skills were greatly reduced, and he has not been able to recover his peak state for so many years, and now I am afraid that there are not a few years left to live, and it should be even worse than the beginning. And he set up the Juyin Great Array in advance to occupy the right time and place, and he should be seventy percent sure that he can defeat Liu Li, and maybe there is still the possibility of being captured.
He was still smug in his heart just now, if he could win Liu Li, he would be forced to ask the secret heart plate of the past generations of earth masters. The heart disc technique is a profound and mysterious feng shui secret, and Xiang Zuohu will also, but the inheritance of the earth masters of the past generations is even more extraordinary, and it is his dream. If he can succeed without knowing it, Hu Xuyuan's death is worth it, anyway, he will kill the kid of unknown origin and avenge his apprentice.
Unexpectedly, the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and Liu Li actually broke the Yin Gathering Array that he was best at. At that time, I felt a pity, it was difficult to prevent Liu Li from escaping today, and there would be more great troubles and disasters in the future, if the news spread, it would be difficult for him to explain after returning to Xiang's home. Unexpectedly, Liu Li's reaction surprised him even more, he didn't run away, but came up with a knife to fight him.
Xiang Zuohu and Hu Xuyuan, the uncles and nephews, behaved today, which made the old man anxious! Besides, Liu Li can escape, what should You Fang do?
When it came to the hand-to-hand combat, Xiang Zuohu felt surprised again, Liu Li's spiritual energy consumption in breaking the formation was naturally very large, but his consumption of running the magic circle was not small. Fang Cai used the secret art of feng shui to fight, consuming not only physical strength, but also more than the skill of cultivation, Liu Li's skill is much deeper than he originally estimated, and his divine sense is also rich and long. waited until this moment to fight in close quarters, the divine sense entangled one and the other, and Liu Li did not suffer a loss on the blade of his fists and feet, it was too difficult!
What's more, there is a young man watching from the side, and the blade in his hand is really powerful. He and Liu Li are already at the end of their crossbow fights to this extent, and sooner or later they will not be able to stop that person's attack, so they can only find an opportunity to get rid of him first. But after Liu Li turned from defense to offense, he made a ruthless move as if he didn't want to die, so that he didn't have a chance to make a move against the young man.
It's not a way to go on like this, maybe it's going to be planted here today, and you have to get out quickly, after all, it's important to save your life first, and if there's any trouble, let's talk about it later. Thinking of this, Xiang Zuo Fox's body suddenly accelerated, and he turned around Liu Li for half a circle and turned around and walked quickly, the long bone spurs in his hand waved rapidly, sending out a series of trills similar to those played by a flute, causing the night air in the mountains to be harmonious, and the strange power forced Liu Li not to chase closer.
Xiang Zuohu used the secret technique of feng shui again, and it was a trick to press the bottom of the box in addition to the formation, not to hurt people just to escape. Liu Li did not reluctantly rub his body to attack, but stomped his feet like crazy and shouted: "Do it!" ”
There is no one else here, of course the old man is asking You Fang to do it. At the moment when Liu Li stomped his feet, You Fang felt that the ground was not shaking, but that the ground under his feet was so solid and irresistible. You Fang's spiritual sense, the entangled divine consciousness of the two masters, the night qi triggered by the sound of the flute, and even Qin Yu's soft chant were all "sealed". I don't know how the old man stomped this kick, and the feng shui secret techniques of everyone present, including Liu Li himself, were "invalid" at this moment.
At the same time as Liu Li stomped his feet, the fox to the left happened to rush out of the oblique stab on the left side of the swimming side. You Fang was already ready to go, and he didn't want to think about it at the moment, his body was like the wind, and he swung his sword and stabbed straight at Zuo Fox's right neck.
Xiang Zuo Fox's kung fu is of course above the swimming side, and the realm of "touch and respond" is not much to say, and he doesn't look at the right hand and waves the bone spur outward, and the sound of the sword and bone striking each other is extremely dull. The impact force not only broke out at the point where the blades touched, but also the muscles and bones of the whole body were impacted during the internal energy operation, and the swimming side flew out more than three meters away, and after landing, he kicked, kicked, and stepped back a few steps before standing, and the internal organs were churning and vomiting blood! Qin Yu seemed to hear a painful whine in his ears.
Wheezing and looking at his chest slightly, the fox to the left did not leave, his body seemed to be frozen and still maintained the posture of swinging outward, only his head hung down, the moonlight shone on his face, and his expression looked like Hu Xuyuan before he died. He stared at his chest with wide eyes, his face full of horror and disbelief, and deep unwillingness, his mouth was open but he couldn't speak, only gurgling in his throat, and blood foamed from the corners of his mouth.
A knife tip was exposed on his chest, and the bloodless chill was radiating in the moonlight, and the life of the fox to the left was also passing away. There was a person attached to his back, as if hidden in the shadow of the moonlight, it was Liu Li, and the bayonet in his hand had completely sunk into the back of Xiang Zuohu's heart, leaving only a piece of coarse cloth wrapped in his hand.
The wind had stopped, and even the insects in the valley had stopped chirping, and the swimmers could barely hear anything other than their own wheezing. In the silence, Liu Li spoke to the left fox, and his voice was low and slightly tired.
"You were wrong from the beginning, you shouldn't have fought me with the Feng Shui formation that you thought you were best at. You want to bully me into being old and injured, and I have not left any heirs in this life, but after all, I am a contemporary earth master, and it is simply an insult to bully me with Feng Shui secret techniques! You're the best at it in this life, and I'm far better at it than you, even if you set up a magic circle to take advantage of the right time and place. - Mr. Zuohu, what you ask for, you should be blind to death! ”
There was a muffled movement from the mouth of the left fox, his arm was weak, his bone spurs fell to the ground, and his already lowered head was drooped down without support, he died, still maintaining a standing posture and hanging on Liu Li's bayonet.
Liu Li was still talking to the dead man, but it was impossible for Xiang Zuohu to hear the next words, but it seemed to be said to You Fang on the side-
"Mr. Zuohu, your kung fu is very good, it's not impossible to defeat me. From the very beginning, you should have fought with me in close quarters, and your divine consciousness will eliminate each other, as long as you dare to fight hard, I will be helpless, and I am afraid that I will not be your opponent in the end! Why waste all your energy instead of seeking the near and far? …… Little wanderer, don't you say? ”
Liu Lizheng spoke to the dead man "seriously", and coldly opened his mouth to call You Fang, which startled him, and hurriedly replied: "He is the opponent of his predecessors, no matter how good his kung fu is, he is too far behind!" …… Senior, are you alright? ”
Liu Li snorted coldly: "You see someone who has something, is it me?" ”
You Fang: "Of course it's not a senior, how can something happen to your old man?" …… What the hell is going on tonight? …… Forget it, I'll talk about that later, what are we going to do now? ”
Liu Li was very dissatisfied and asked: "It's not that you haven't killed anyone, why should you ask me?" Of course, it's to clean up the troubles, and do what you need to do! ”
(To be continued)
