52. An uncertain future
"One last question."
On the north bank of the Yangtze River, the conversation between Shen Qiu and Zhang Moxie reached the last moment.
He had already learned everything from Zhang Moxie, about Jianyu, about Aura, about Penglai, about the Ten Thousand Souls Array, about the battle between good and evil, and about the thousand-year conspiracy.
His heart has changed from the initial anger and stunned to the current calm, and his heart is like water.
After peeling back the cocoon and seeing everything clearly, the fog on the rivers and lakes could no longer cover Shen Qiu's eyes, and after clarifying who the enemy was, all that was left to do was to do without thinking about it and try his best to defeat them.
Just one last question.
Shen Qiu had to ask clearly.
"If the aura has been revived more than twenty years ago, then the people of Penglai should feel that they have worked hard to build the Ten Thousand Souls Array and secretly manipulate the world for a thousand years, just to find the aura.
Now we just need to wait patiently to see the dawn of the revival of the Immortal Dao.
Why do they continue to go down the road to the dark? ”
"Because they are a group of thousand-year-old ghosts with rotten hearts, they are used to the darkness and can't see a trace of light, and because the future given by the immortals is ours, Shen Qiu."
Zhang Moxie's tone was a little cold, and he said with three points of disdain and three points of disdain:
"But not theirs."
"Once the Gate of Heaven is reopened, how can those lonely souls and wild ghosts who have lost their bodies be the opponents of those of us who have fought in the sea of corpses and blood, and who have the blessing of martial arts?
The protagonists in that future are not the dry bones who should have fallen thousands of years ago.
They want more than just Reiki revival!
They have been planning for thousands of years, and they have laid out such a battle, what they want is an aura era that is controlled by them!
If they are doomed to decline in that future, why let that future come?
Once the Ten Thousand Souls Array is activated, the aura that is constantly reviving between heaven and earth will be controlled in the hands of the old ghosts of Penglai, and at that time, it will come from their gifts to enter the immortal path.
It was a kind of 'honor' that was given.
They will continue to sit on the clouds, looking down and bowing down to all beings, as they did thousands of years ago.
Whoever sings praises well, and whose obedience is appreciated by them, will have the possibility of transforming into immortals.
With hundreds of millions of people in the world who are bound and imprisoned, to achieve their immortal atmosphere, a spiritual world that is dead in their hands, that is their desire.
For the sake of the greed of the thousand-year-old ghosts, we must cut off our hope. ”
Zhang Moxie stretched out his hand and put it on Shen Qiu's shoulder, his voice became softer and softer, but the light in his eyes became heavier and heavier.
He said:
"Shen Qiu, as the master of the sword and jade, even if you don't go against Penglai, as long as the Ten Thousand Souls Array is activated and the sword jade is in hand, you can still be transcendent and unstoppable.
But do you want your sister, wife, children, and friends to live in a future where you are shackled and robbed of all your hopes? ”
The river was rolling, and there was a loud noise, but Shen Qiu did not answer this question directly.
He glanced at Ren Hao.
Uncle Ren is dead.
In the last moments of his life, he left his footprints in the ashes of destruction, and he left his face in the nightmares of the old ghosts.
Uncle Ren finished his own way, and Shen Qiu was standing at the end of that road.
He lowered his head and put the impermanence in his hand on his hand.
In the sound of the machine spring, the fist gloves were closed, and the black fist gloves, which did not look amazing, fit into Shen Qiu's palm without leaking, changing and twisting with the movement of his fingers.
He clasped the sword jade, felt the touch from his fingers, and hung the cloudy jade on his wrist.
"Wow"
The silver spikes popped out from the impermanence of the five fingers, just like Shen Qiu's palm grew sharp claws, and there was an overflowing cold aura, wrapping around Shen Qiu's fingers.
He looked up at the light that had been born in the night in the distance.
The dawn is coming, and the night will finally disperse.
"The immortal you mentioned, through your hands, handed over the sword jade to me, he let me be born as a weakling, seeing me so far, presumably, he was looking forward to seeing a story of breaking out of the cocoon and turning into a butterfly.
I didn't come into this world of my own volition.
But I already know its story.
For a thousand years, intrigue has been running through time.
Every generation has to endure the suffering inflicted by this black hand.
Every generation is fighting blindfolded, interrupting hope.
Qu Xie, Uncle Ren, and those unknown sages, they are all sacrifices who were forced to sacrifice to the altar of evil gods, and their lives should not have ended like this.
They instinctively lead the world out of a better trajectory in this thousand years. ”
Shen Qiu looked at Zhang Moxie's eyes, and a smile opened on his face.
"If you have to ask me for an answer, I can only tell you.
I am honored to be able to put an end to this broken thing that has lasted for a thousand years in my hands. ”
"Good!"
Zhang Moxie's eyes were full of appreciation, and his palm patted Shen Qiu on the shoulder.
He's seen too many people and things.
He was enough to tell whether a person was whitewashing the peace or really made up his mind.
In Shen Qiu's eyes, there was not the slightest concealment.
He pushed the last wisp of hesitation out of his heart.
Zhang Moxie took a step back, and he said:
"Now that you've made your decision, and you've grown to this point, I can tell you how to use this sword jade for the last time. It's a weapon, and if you don't know how to use it, it's a shame.
Jianyu is in your hands, how many miracles are there? ”
Shen Qiu didn't hide it, he said truthfully:
"I know the sword jade fantasy dream, to refine the true meaning of martial arts, to strengthen my body, the dream is different from the outside time, now the internal and external time is a one-to-three progress.
There is also this sword jade that can break everything related to the immortal family, I once used it in the Five Immortals Secret Realm to break through the door forged by the 10,000-year-old Xuan Ice. ”
"One to three?"
Zhang Moxie shook his head and said:
"It's too little, do you know that in the last few years of my possession of Kendama, the time of this dream has been ten times compared to the outside world. One hour in the outside world is ten hours in a dream.
Only with such ample time can you cultivate the world's peerless learning to the extreme. ”
"But I can't learn from you to kill, can I?"
Shen Qiu said helplessly:
"I've heard that Sect Master Zhang has just entered the rivers and lakes, but he will destroy people at every turn, so many soul blessings, there must be plenty of time to convert."
"I didn't let you kill anyone."
Zhang Moxie pursed his lips and said:
"Besides, in this life, who doesn't have a time when they are young and frivolous?
Don't talk about the old things.
In addition to killing people and taking souls, Kendama's illusion dream can be extended with aura support. Those black sand auras left in the sword jade are enough for you to expand your time to ten times the flow rate.
I'm going to show you how to use it now.
Also, if you are not physically warm enough now, and you have not yet reached the limit of your mortal body, you should not try to infuse your body with aura, otherwise you will have the worry of exploding your body. After you have practiced the true qi in your body and opened up all the acupuncture points and meridians around your body, you can try to refine your body with black sand aura. ”
Speaking of this, Zhang Moxie looked at Ren Hao, and he said:
"It's really a pity for Brother Ren, if he had the aura to wash his body and fade away from his mortal body, he wouldn't have ended up like this tonight. Alas, he knew the inside story of the battle between good and evil, but he trapped himself in it and could not get out.
In the end, he was willing to give his life for this meaningless distinction between good and evil. ”
"Uncle Ren has helped you."
Shen Qiu said:
"If Uncle Ren really didn't care about Penglai in his heart, tonight, he wouldn't go after those Penglai accomplices.
He gave up all the poisons, Yang Tao, and used the time-limited power that he had worked so hard to get on those Penglai dog thieves.
He is such a person, he will not say what he thinks, but he will always prove it with his actions.
Sect Leader Zhang, Uncle Ren has made a decision at the last minute, and he is on your side. ”
"I know."
Zhang Moye stretched out his hand and touched the ice sculpture in front of him, and said:
"Otherwise, I wouldn't have shown up and had a final fight with him, so that he would have left in style. But Ren Hao, like me, can only kill people, but can't kill ghosts. ”
He turned his head to look at Shen Qiu and said:
"I will also teach you how to use sword jade to restrain those thousand-year-old ghosts, and then kill them little by little.
There is no need to doubt it, I tried it in Kunlun Immortal Pool.
In the case of those old ghosts who are extremely weak, Kendama can extract their divine souls, just as you would shatter the souls of warriors in a dream.
If you smash their spirits, you can kill them completely.
Perhaps, this is the reason why the immortals passed down the sword jade back then, but unfortunately, I can't break through Penglai's mountain protection array, and I can't kill the thousand-year-old ghosts who are hiding in Penglai. ”
These words surprised Shen Qiu a little.
He looked at Zhang Moxie and said:
"The black sand aura in this sword jade was obtained by Sect Leader Zhang by killing a thousand-year-old ghost? Listen to what you mean, Kunlun Xianchi also has the same plan as Penglai? ”
"Yes. How can they be passed down from thousands of years ago to the present, and how can they not be prepared at all? ”
Zhang Moxie waved his sleeves and said to Shen Qiu:
"Kunlun's plan is different from Penglai's, what they use is based on the ancient magic sword but evil, trying to create a blood sea spirit realm between the virtual and the real.
And Dan Lun's lineage, how to say, is not very lucky.
When I entered the rivers and lakes at the beginning of that year, and when I seized the Demon Sword Qu Evil in Kunlun, I used what you said, the ability of the sword and jade to break the delusion, and accidentally destroyed the formed Blood Sea Spirit Realm, and also broke Kunlun's thousand-year-old plan.
When I was in the sixteenth year of Zhengning, I entered Kunlun for the second time, but I found that the head of the immortal pool, Canglan Zhenren, and his disciple Hua Qing had been taken away by a thousand-year-old ghost, and all the disciples in the door died.
The two of them were forcibly awakened by me with Kendama, and since then, they have helped me. ”
"But Shen Qiu, if you want to kill the old ghosts, you must first have the ability to defeat them."
Speaking of this, Zhang Moxie sighed, and he said to Shen Qiu:
"Even in the sword jade, without your help, they can't use those black yarn aura, and they can't use the immortal magic Dao method, but the condensation of the divine soul and the strength of the strength are also not inferior to the masters of the heavenly ranks.
And your bones are really not good.
Even if you have ten times the time blessing, it is not easy to break through the bottleneck of martial arts, you have to find the opportunity to reshape your own bones first, not to compare with peerless geniuses.
At the very least, it can't pull you back.
Finally, there is another use for kendama. ”
Zhang Moxie flicked his fingers, his eyes fell on the unconscious Zhang Lan, and he said:
"The wonder of Kenyu is not just you.
This sword and jade fantasy dream can actually be shared with others, but the premise is that they must trust you unreservedly and let your soul be controlled by you.
And when you dream, they have to dream in the same way.
With your current level, they can't be too far away from you, in fact, I came here tonight, in addition to ambushing Penglai Daojun, I also want to stop those thousand-year-old ghosts and take away the soul hidden in the giant sword.
But I found that the old ghost was different from the other old ghosts. ”
Zhang Moxie touched his beard, and he said to Shen Qiu:
"Instead of taking away his vengeful son, it helped him fight against Yang Tao.
I now suspect that the reason why that old ghost was able to wake up early without touching the aura was because the young man who broke the iron had already had the experience of falling asleep with you.
It was you who woke up that old ghost in advance. ”
Zhang Mo said:
"I've tried the use of dream symbiosis.
Tongtang, Dacha, I forcibly mentioned the realm of the Heavenly List in this way, but I concealed their information about the source of the dream, and only said that it was the Kunlun Immortal Family's dream magic method.
Now that you have people around you who are trustworthy and can trust your life, you can use this method to help you by allowing them to grow quickly.
After your martial arts have deepened, and you have refined your body with spiritual energy and condensed your soul, you don't have to carry it in your hand all the time.
This immortal strange thing is very wonderful, even if it is hundreds of miles away, it can be used as you like. ”
After that, Zhang Moxie took a while to teach Shen Qiu the method of using the black gauze aura, which was actually an authentic Immortal Tuna technique that originated in Kunlun.
In this way, the aura of the black sand can be mobilized, and the blessing of ten times the time inside the sword jade can be maintained.
It can also make the true qi in Shen Qiu's body, in the flow of this breathing technique, from now on, to practice the void and return to the real, from the acquired true qi to the purification and compression of the innate qi.
After finishing speaking, a red light has appeared in the sky, and a new day is coming.
"I'm going to tell you all the secrets today."
Zhang Moxie held the orange cat in his arms, and the early morning wind blew his robe, giving him the feeling that he was about to get up and fly away in the next moment, this generation of strange people, smiled and said to Shen Qiu:
"My last thing in the world has also been completed, and today is the time for me to completely leave this river and lake, and send away my brother, and this river and lake have nothing to be nostalgic for me."
"Sect Leader Zhang."
Shen Qiu glanced at the orange cat in Zhang Moxie's arms, and said:
"I was still wondering before, why did you want to hide in the rivers and lakes for so many years, but now that I think about it, you have lived in Kunlun for a long time, in addition to not liking mortal dust, there should be other reasons, right?
For example, the immortal spirit beast in your arms, does it have anything to do with it? ”
"Yes."
Zhang Moxie patted the orange cat's head, and his eyes were full of helplessness like a reflection of the world.
He said:
"The immortals punished this spirit beast and spent a lifetime in this world, but when I found this spirit beast in the extreme west, it had already given birth to a litter of cubs.
Densely packed, there are hundreds of them.
Even if there is no aura in the world, these strange beasts and monsters can grow normally, and you know that the realms outside the kamikaze in the Western Regions, more than a dozen countries, and tens of millions of living beings have almost been eaten by them into a boundless desert.
I can only bring those hundreds of monsters back to Kunlun and suppress them under the immortal pool.
Over the years, Canglan Zhenren and I have been suppressing these monsters, if there were no two of us, this Central Plains world, I am afraid that it would have become a hell on earth.
Shen Qiu, it's not that I don't want to help you break Penglai.
That night's Heavenly Wolf Rushing to the Que Astrology was caused by the gathering of those monsters and demonic energy, and I couldn't spare time to rush back to Kunlun immediately to stop those fierce monsters from breaking the seal. ”
Zhang Moxie glanced at the sword jade on Shen Qiu's wrist again.
He said in an emphatic tone:
"In addition, Shen Qiu, you have to remember one thing, whether Penglai activates the Ten Thousand Souls Array, or you finally destroy Penglai and let the aura revive the world, you have to prepare in advance to deal with it.
Reiki is revived in the world, and there will be a revival of things associated with aura.
Demons and monsters, cows, ghosts, snakes, ghosts, ghosts, and monsters in Huangquan, all of which are now only in mythology, will return together.
You'll have to weigh it.
This heaven and earth, with the power of good and evil, can it stop them.
If it can't be stopped, then even if the aura is revived, it will be a disaster that will destroy the world. ”
