Chapter 149: The Arowana Emerges from the Water
The cold earth is silent and heavy, containing everything that has precipitated on it, recording the ruthless changes of the years, and happily bearing the constant erosion and impact of the turbulent river of the Yellow River for countless years.
Xiao Ruoshui felt the coldness coming from the ground, stared blankly at the black sky mixed with some soft shimmers, and felt that it was the most beautiful scene in the world, and listened to the roar of the rolling river in the veins of the Yellow River, thinking that it was the most pleasant tune in the world.
Xiao Ruoshui lay on the ground, spreading her hands weakly, and the little black sword lay on her left hand so quietly, frantically transmitting rich and pure black qi into her body;
The string of prayer beads made of eight withered Buddhist beads rested silently on her right hand, like a toothless old man drinking hot gruel, unwilling and slowly absorbing a large amount of yang energy gathered in front of a Buddha bead.
Xiao Ruoshui felt the small black sword and the rosary like a withered branch, felt the mind that was slowly disappearing, and recalled her short and wonderful life.
At the age of three, she was able to understand many changes in innate gossip, and her words were often amazing, which invisibly provided a lot of help to her father who was away from home.
Later, when she was six years old, she couldn't understand the hexagrams on those gossip, but she was quite interested in the Four Books and Five Classics, and she was particularly interested in martial arts. Xiao Yan, who has been a horse all his life, saw that his eldest daughter had the style of her youth, so he took her with him and cultivated her personally.
Three years later, Xiao Yan was greatly moved, whether it was poetry and books, or the art of war, or astronomy and geography, Xiao Ruoshui could always understand the essence at a glance. made Xiao Yan, a father with countless experiences, sigh to himself, and felt that there were fewer and fewer things in the books that could teach her, so he began to teach him martial arts.
Or three years later, Xiao Ruoshui, who was only fifteen years old, mastered the various martial arts taught by Xiao Yan, in addition to the lack of pure and strong internal strength, the unpredictable changes in martial arts were just a slow-motion drama in her eyes.
Fifteen-year-old Xiao Ruoshui walked alone in the rivers and lakes, and Xiao Yan arranged a large number of personal soldiers to secretly protect him.
In just half a year, Xiao Ruoshui has made some fame in the rivers and lakes, and is regarded as a rising star and a rising star by the older generation. I have made friends with a large group of young and enthusiastic young talents on the rivers and lakes, and I take it as my responsibility to help the world.
That was the year that Xiao Baojuan, the Marquis of Dongdu, succeeded to the throne and controlled the world of the Southern Dynasty.
That was the year, since Wang Mang passed on to the Han Dynasty, the demon clan that had not appeared in the land of Middle-earth for five hundred years reappeared, and the already turbulent Southern Dynasty became even more stormy.
It was also that year that Xiao Ruoshui met her master Wei Chenzi, and then went to the Zhongnan Sword Sect and learned a lot of unknown secrets.
Three years later, she broke through the barrier of life and death, and introduced the two qi of life and death in the secret realm of Zhongnan into her body, turning into yin and yang, filling the shortage of her insufficient internal strength.
Ten years ago, she returned from her studies and had a long conversation with Xiao Yan, which strengthened Xiao Yan's determination to replace Nanqi.
After that, Xiao Ruoshui took the initiative to go to the Shenbing Gate, and discussed with Zhuo Rufeng, the master of the Shenbing Gate, for a few days, and finally used himself as a bargaining chip to form an alliance with the Shenbing Gate, stabilized the rivers and lakes of the Southern Dynasties, and controlled the chaotic situation of the rivers and lakes after Xiao Yan opened the country.
Eight years ago, she went to the Northern Wei Dynasty alone, defeated the famous rivers and lakes of the Northern Wei Dynasty in a row, became famous, and was recruited into the palace by the Northern Wei royal family to teach the prince martial arts.
Six years ago, after two years in the Northern Wei Dynasty, she knew all about the military and political power of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and left the Northern Wei Dynasty to go further north to Rouran, looking for something she had been pursuing.
Four years ago, the Northern Wei Dynasty and Rouran fought and both were defeated. Soon after, Rouran regrouped and strengthened his troops, and the northwestern divisions of the alliance prepared to go south again.
Xiao Ruoshui saw the opportunity, and after four months of tossing and turning, he returned to Daliang. Emperor Wu of Liang raised the 100,000 army of the Southern Dynasty, Xiao Ruoshui commanded the whole power behind the scenes, and the Northern Wei army fought Zhongli, after a year of tug-of-war, finally defeated the powerful Northern Wei Dynasty, and achieved a very small number of brilliant achievements in history------ the perennial weak southern regime defeated the strong northern regime in history, and laid the fuse for the Northern Wei Dynasty to split into the East and West Wei.
Since then, Xiao Ruoshui has been pushed to the altar by the people of the Southern Dynasties, and all the temples and rivers and lakes worship and admire.
In that year, Xiao Ruoshui retreated bravely, lived in a simple place, slowly faded out of the eyes of the world, and began to pursue the supreme immortal path.
Two months ago, the rebellion of the tribes in the rear of the Southern Dynasty was about to rise, the two Wei armies moved, and hundreds of thousands of troops pressed the border again, Xiao Yan sent people to find Xiao Ruoshui, who had disappeared for three years at this time, and after several times, Xiao Ruoshui promised to meddle in the affairs of the world for the last time, and after this festival, she would no longer care about anything in the court.
Xiao Ruoshui thought of this very quickly, her sanity disappeared completely, and the empty eyes under her weak eyelids spread out, and after several changes, she was completely lifeless, like a corpse lying on the ground.
When Xiao Ruoshui lost his vitality, the Yellow River veins and rivers turned up a huge wave, and then a thick mist appeared on the river surface, and there was a "whoosh" sound of inexplicable things stirring the river.
But the mist was so thick that it was impossible to see if there was anything in the fog. A moment later, a pair of large sapphire eyes burst through the mist, followed by fish scales like red flames.
As soon as the scales of the red flame bowl opened and closed, the water of the Yellow River vein turned into a burst of mist and spread, the big fish blinked, there was some confusion in his eyes, and he turned his head to look at the downstream of the Yellow River vein, where there was a young and handsome young man, looking at the woman lying on the ground with infinite gloom, but he never took half a step forward.
The big fish looked at the woman lying on the shore and had completely lost her life, and the crimson scales on her body opened and closed faster, and the white mist turned by the river intertwined with each other, flying up like a slender waterspout.
At the same time, one after another rootless aquatic plants like duckweed floated at the bottom of the Yellow River, and three of them turned into light rain and merged into the slender waterspout, flying towards the woman on the shore.
When the white mist came into contact with the woman's body with the rain of light, the rosary in the woman's right palm was sensitive, and a gorgeous golden light erupted, rushing straight into the sky, turning into a golden lotus platform glowing with peaceful Buddha light, illuminating this pitch-black space.
The delicate young man in the darkness downstream, after watching the Buddha's light rush up, the gloom in his eyes slowly receded, and he bent down slightly at the red-scaled and blue-eyed big fish that was still swimming in the veins of the Yellow River, and said softly: "Thank you..."
The big fish winked at the boy with its big sapphire eyes, and then wagged its tail desperately, and the mist on the surface of the river was pumped back and forth, scurrying in all directions.
After the big fish shook the tail of the fish, he raised the head of the fish, and his big sapphire eyes stared at the golden lotus platform that slowly rose and fell above Xiao Ruoshui, swimming in the river like a curious baby, stirring up a wave and steaming out the mist, making the surface of the Yellow River veins like a cloudy fairyland.
When the peaceful golden light was cast into the sky from the deadwood-like rosary, the small black sword in the palm of Xiao Ruoshui's left hand shook slightly, and after a pause, it began to vibrate violently, and the tip of the sword was slightly raised, as if it was self-conscious, it wanted to fly, but in the end it still hung down weakly.
Although the black sword didn't make any action in the end, the speed of the black qi entering Xiao Ruoshui's body became even more crazy, just like a victim of famine, he finally picked up a piece of wheat flatbread, which could have been eaten slowly, but he found a group of victims like him in the distance, so he began to gobble up the flatbread.
Although the black sword took the lead and occupied Xiao Ruoshui's entire body, there seemed to be some unknown existence in the dead wood-like Buddha beads, which was successfully awakened by the light rain that the big fish carried the Yellow River rootlessly, and once it woke up, it exuded the momentum of self-supremacy in the sky and the earth, breaking through the shackles of the Buddha beads with a domineering attitude, and manifesting a golden lotus platform in the dark night sky.
At the same time, in the Western Elysium, in the Great Leiyin Temple where the Buddha country shines, Rulai, who was meditating with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes, and two extremely powerful divine lights shot out from his eyes, passing through layers of barriers, and came to Middle-earth Kyushu.
However, after those two divine lights came to Middle-earth Kyushu, they were silently submerged, without setting off the slightest wave, Rulai was slightly startled, and muttered: "You, after all, are back!"
The golden lotus that floated and sank in the dark space shook lightly in the void, and then the soft Buddha light like water waves sprinkled towards Xiao Ruoshui in a circle, gently and gently submerging into her already dry and wrinkled skin.
When the Buddha light came into contact with Xiao Ruoshui, the Buddha bead on her right hand that slowly absorbed the yang energy burst out like a volcanic eruption, bursting out with immeasurable yang energy, rushing towards the Buddha light that had already submerged into the meridians of Xiao Ruoshui's body like a dragon going out to sea.
The black qi that already occupied Xiao Ruoshui's various meridians and qi and blood, after touching the rolling yang qi gushing out of the Buddha beads, boiled in an instant, gathering the black qi from other places in Xiao Ruoshui's body like calling friends, and surrounded the yang qi that had just entered the meridians of Xiao Ruoshui's right arm.
Not to be outdone, the Buddha Bead once again erupted with infinite yang qi to support the vanguard troops wrapped in black qi in front.
When the Buddha bead replenished the yang qi, the continuous black qi in the black sword did not increase anymore, because the black sword at this time had lost its luster and was not as dazzling as it was just now, and now it was just an instinct to continue to transmit black qi to Xiao Ruoshui, not as autonomous as just now.
Just when the yang energy erupted from the Buddha beads and the black qi that the black sword entered Xiao Ruoshui's body could not hold on, the golden lotus flower in the sky had quietly disappeared, and the Buddha light it sprinkled on Xiao Ruoshui was like moisturizing things silently, immersed in every inch of Xiao Ruoshui's meridians and every strand of flesh and blood.
The Buddha's light quietly broke through the black qi that was confronting the yang energy, came to Xiao Ruoshui's dantian, and silently gathered, forming an auspicious cloud like a mushroom, stimulating Xiao Ruoshui's dantian.
