2. Inner demons
A few days later, in the Taoist temple, Shen Qiu, who was meditating here, was reading a precious Taoist book with relish.
Around his feet, there were more than a dozen ancient books, including martial arts and martial arts secret books, as well as orthodox Taoist secret books.
Just like the Huang Ting Jing he was holding in his hand, it was an immortal scroll that was saved thousands of years ago.
The words are mysterious and mysterious.
Ordinary people don't even understand it, it's even difficult to read.
This is the world that belongs to the top students.
Stop learning!
"Alas, you can't speak well, you have to write so obscurely, it's really bald."
Shen Qiu sighed.
Flipping through the paper of the Taoist dictionary in his hand, he finished reading a scripture, but he looked lonely.
But it's not just a matter of perception.
After the treasure medicine reshaped the root bones, Shen Qiu's comprehension was not top-notch.
But it's definitely not bad.
This will not be able to read this scripture, mainly because he has other things in mind.
It is now December of the 26th year of Zhengding.
There are less than two months left until the Spring Festival.
During last year's Spring Festival, I said that I would spend it with my beloved wife and family, but I finally missed it.
Although Yaoqin wrote to say that she didn't care about this.
Qingqing can understand that the senior brother is busy. But Shen Qiu still felt a kind of guilt in his heart, and left his beloved wife and junior sister in Taozhu Mountain, although he was safe and sound with Ah Qing's support.
But there is always a sense of affection.
"This year's Spring Festival, no matter what is big, I have to be by their side."
Shen Qiu secretly made up his mind.
Counting the time, there are less than two months left.
Rushing back from Qilu should be enough.
But when it came to time, Shen Qiu frowned again.
"I've had some indescribable deviations in my concept of time."
Shen Qiu raised his left hand and put it in front of his eyes.
There was an unspeakable look in his eyes.
Since the time flow of Kendama Fantasy Dream has been maintained at a tenfold rate.
He is indeed no longer sensitive to the changes in time in the outside world, although it is impossible to hide in dreams and practice for twelve hours a day.
It is impossible to reach the state where a year is a decade or a decade.
However, the confusion of the two speed of time still caused him a strong disturbance.
The time that belongs to him seems to be infinitely extended.
It was less than half a month ago to bury Qiu Bu peacefully in Qinglong Mountain, say goodbye to Xiao Tie temporarily, and let him continue to roam in the land of Qilu.
But for Shen Qiu.
But it's as far away as it was a year or two ago.
Indeed, no matter how time passes in the dream, the outside world will not change.
But the growth that belongs to Shen Qiu is difficult to describe with the ordinary passage of time.
His body.
Now he has just reached the weak crown, twenty years old, but Shen Qiu's self-perception, or his spiritual age, has been almost unconfused under the continuous destruction of the sword jade illusion.
Especially without a hat, the youth of the body and the aging of the spirit, the difference between the inner and the outer, are combined in a very subtle way.
It formed a unique temperament for Shen Qiu.
Uncanny.
Under the weather.
Especially those clear eyes, revealing an evil aura that is extremely incompatible with age, as if he was also taken away by the old ghost.
The body of the young man is like the soul of a middle-aged man.
"Time just passes, age is growing, but it does not mean growth, in a blink of an eye, I have become a greasy uncle who should drink wolfberry tea."
Shen Qiu sat up straight, closed the Huang Ting Jing in his hand, put it at his feet, and picked up a volume of cheats and spread it out.
While looking at the internal strength of this "Ninety-Nine Return to Truth Song Formula", he said:
"I've also heard people say that most people actually die in the first year of their existence, and their subsequent lives are just the repetition of the first thirty years.
"Nonsense."
Behind the quaint bookshelves filled with books, Huang Wumiao, who was wearing a Taoist robe, walked over.
The head of the Jade Palace said softly while stroking his extremely neatly trimmed beard:
"Poor Dao saw that you just read the Huang Ting Sutra, and you should also know that my Taoist has 3,000 sentences, but there has ever been a sentence to persuade people to be confused?
Decades of life are carefully nourished, but they only prolong their lives for more than ten years, and they are in one life.
It can be like a grasshopper under a tree, or a dead wood in spring.
can pass through the gap like a white horse, or you can live like a year, how can there be any foolish saying that you will die when you are established? ”
Daoist Ziwei's face was gentle, and he didn't care at all about Shen Qiu's identity as a demon that had spread all over the world at this time.
He stood behind Shen Qiu and said softly:
"Young children are pure, advanced in the prime of life, introverted in middle age, hanging hair leisurely, such as the change of the four seasons, as long as there is a heart, everywhere is the scenery.
I don't know who told you this, but I think that that person must be a crazy person, just like you. ”
"No, the Taoist didn't understand what I meant."
A malicious smile appeared on Shen Qiu's face.
Without looking back, he said:
"I don't say this to debate these great principles of life with the Taoist, what I want to say is that Lin Yundong is in the Jade Emperor Palace at this time.
My girl has sent her mother to the door, but the Taoist chief has to be Yanagi Hui.
The two obviously have friendship with each other, but they have to draw the ground as a stranger.
Lin Yundong is fine.
After all, people are women, and they can't take the initiative in such things.
But Dao Chief, you are a big man, but you hesitate so far, are you afraid of taking responsibility? It's still morning and evening, and I like other girls. My sweet voice,' mother-in-law, has changed her mind? ”
Huang Wumiao was thrilled by these words.
The originally leisurely expression immediately became embarrassed.
The temperament of the fairy wind bones was wiped out at once.
As for Lin Huiyin's life experience, it should have been hidden.
But this time, after Lin Yundong came to the Jade Emperor Palace, he didn't know why he told Huang Wumiao about it.
In addition to the shock of Daoist Ziwei, there was one more thing that disturbed his heart.
These days, his heart is not quiet.
In addition to the shadow of Penglai's affairs, a large part of it comes from his daughter who is far away in Xiaoxiang and has never known him.
Shen Qiu moved his shoulders and stood up.
He turned his head to Huang Wumiao, whose face was slightly gloomy, and said:
"I said that the thought of long-term improvement died as early as the year of its establishment. Is there a problem with this?
If it is the Taoist leader of the year of establishment, there is a pride in his chest, I am afraid that he will not be so entangled at this time, right? ”
"Let's talk about those scenes between our sons-in-law."
Shen Qiu tilted his head, his tone calm.
kept poking the knife in Huang Wumiao's heart.
The white knife goes in, and the red knife comes out.
Without mercy.
He said:
"I don't want my family Yaoqin and Huiyin to get involved in the Penglai incident, those bastards who cultivate immortals and demons, and the current quietness is just for the sake of making a earth-shaking storm in the future.
I'm coming to Qilu.
I lived in Taishan for ten days and half a month.
I will teach you this secret art of martial arts.
So that when evil things come, you can stand up.
As a senior in the rivers and lakes, he can support the scene for us and others, and don't let me and my brothers fight alone. ”
Shen Qiu sighed, his fingers clenched.
He made a sword drawing motion.
Say:
"It's a pity, old man, you have really disappointed my son-in-law a little these days."
Huang Wumiao knew what Shen Qiu meant, although this was between him and Lin Yundong.
But in fact, it refers to the matter of Tai'a Sword.
Originally, the mighty Tai'a Sword, as the current head of the twelve weapons in the world, in the hands of Huang Wumiao, should have burst out with force that was not inferior to Ren Hao.
Theoretically, the sword master and the sword heart god are one.
With the prestige of Tai'a, he can do it with Zhang Moxie's wrists.
But the reality is very skinny.
"All of you have entered the gods, I will leave some spiritual energy to help you practice, and I will leave Mount Tai this afternoon."
Shen Qiu saw that Huang Wumiao didn't answer, so he didn't bother with that question, and stretched out his left hand towards Daoist Ziwei.
He said:
"The true qi in my body, the practice of returning to reality is about to be completed, and I will enter the innate body, so I have to find a place to retreat for a while, and go back to see my family by the way.
The land of Qilu Youyan is now like a pot of boiling water.
The war between the north and the south, in the chaos of war, mixed with Penglai people stirring up wind and rain in it, is like a bomb hanging overhead, maybe it will explode in the next moment.
But the land south of the Yangtze River is also a little cloudy.
Shen has the intention to kill the thief, but he lacks the skills.
As the Taoist chief said, the affairs of the land of Qilu still have to be solved by you, the Qilu martial arts people. ”
The Dao Leader also stretched out his hand, separated from Shen Qiu's hand.
A strange wind blows in the soul.
In the next moment, the two fell into a dream again.
Appears on a platform that completely mimics the cliffs of the Jade Emperor's Palace.
Huang Wumiao's soul is different.
It is not as thin as the ordinary soul, and there is a warm light in the condensation, which is obviously the realm of the divine soul.
It is worthy of being the head of the Jade Emperor Palace.
Even when the mind is uncertain, it is possible to complete such a practice in such a short time.
Huang Wumiao's talent is also the first-class genius of that peerless genius.
However, the Dao Chief's Divine Soul was not the same as Shen Qiu's Divine Soul.
Behind the main body of his soul.
There is always a vague, aperture-like phantom.
It was like a torn shadow covering him, breaking his movements, and some scolding voices could be heard.
Seems quite real.
That's Huang Wuving.
From the master personality of Ziwei Dao Chief, another personality splits out, and the two not only share the same body, but also the same soul.
"Some things are said outside, and it is terrible to be heard by outsiders."
Shen Qiu moved his arms and shoulders, as if he was warming up before the fight, and he said to the old man in front of him:
"Now there are only two of us left, and I won't hide it, such as these few people who have fallen on the list today, among these old-timers, your father-in-law's record is very ugly.
The reason for this is because of your soul disorder, which has slowed down your performance. ”
"Everyone said that the reason why you gave birth to Soul Scattering Disorder was because you were defeated by Zhang Moxie and had a demon.
But judging from the time I've spent with you, I really don't think you're the kind of garbage warrior who will be born with demons after a few failures. ”
He bluntly said:
"I will leave Qilu, and before leaving, I will tell the Taoist chief about this hidden danger.
The great enemy is in front, and the demons in the heart are not removed.
Don't talk about winning the battle, I'm afraid that I won't even be able to survive myself.
And in my opinion, the demon in the heart of the Taoist is not this Huang Wushu with a split personality at all.
It's Lin Yundong! ”
"Nonsense!"
Huang Wumiao put his fingers together with his sword.
There is purple sword qi around his body, in this place full of spiritual energy, his sword style is also a little more powerful than the outside world, and those purple sword lights are very flexible, as if they have an aura rhyme.
He stared at Shen Qiu with a wave of anger.
Sharply said:
"My situation has nothing to do with Xiaodong."
"I have long eyes, Dao Chief, who can you hide from you when you lie like this?"
Shen Qiu pursed his lips, pointed to his head and said:
"Although you and she are both very taboo about what happened back then and don't want to say more, I can probably guess.
It's nothing more than a childhood sweetheart, resisting a strong enemy, losing miserably, and because of some other things, he did something overstepping.
She may not have volunteered.
It's also possible that you went mad when you were injured and became animalistic.
You hate yourself because of this, and you can't wait to cut yourself off, after all, this kind of humiliation is not in line with your martial arts, and it is not what a hero should do.
All thoughts were lost, and in order not to collapse himself, the personality of Huang Wushu was born.
He helps you fight against your sins.
You yourself have forgotten that memory.
It's like black and white, and he does all the bad things.
Your hands are still clean.
But now, the existence of Huiyin is the indelible evidence of that incident back then! ”
Shen Qiu smiled exaggeratedly, and said with full malice:
"Unless it's my mother-in-law who secretly cuckolded you, because of these things, you and my mother-in-law's martial arts both stopped.
With my mother-in-law's talent, it should be at least a half-step heavenly list.
But she has loopholes in her soul, and she can't forget them, and after years of penance, she can only stop at the top of the list.
And you are even more miserable, although you are on the list, it is difficult to go further.
can't really be one with Tai'a Sword.
The Huang Invincible cowhide boasted big, saying that he could be in charge of Tai'a, but in fact, he couldn't do it.
He is you, you are him.
Do not get rid of the demons.
You can only be a sword bearer, not a sword master.
I originally wanted to use the distraction technique to cut off a trace of soul, and then fill it with aura to help you get rid of Huang Wuving's drag.
But now I can't.
Because it's useless at all. ”
Shen Qiu spread out his hands, and his expression became serious.
"Without Huang Wuving, there will be a new personality to interfere, and the bell must be tied to the bell, the Taoist.
You have to face the past.
It doesn't matter if you apologize or make amends.
People are in your sect now, and you are hiding in the Jade Emperor Palace, and you don't say anything at all, it will be too sad for the old lover, right? ”
Huang Wumiao didn't answer, his divine soul flickered strangely under the entanglement of the purple sword qi.
In the next moment, the Divine Martial Arts were activated.
The aura mixed with the true qi burst open.
As soon as the person in front of him cut off his finger, there was a sword that broke the sky.
"Boom"
The place where Shen Qiu was was completely shattered by the bursting mighty sword qi.
"Are you teaching the old man to do things?"
The spirit carried its right hand and raised its left hand.
The breath of the whole body, such as mountains and seas, stands as stable as Mount Tai.
He said in a wicked voice:
"Don't think that my Huiyin child is obsessed with you, so you can talk nonsense casually, the old man will never agree to your marriage!
My daughter, it is impossible to share a husband with other women!
You evil demon is not worthy of my daughter at all!
Want to take Huiyin with you?
Pass the old man's hurdle first! ”
In the next moment, in this dream, Shen Qiu's figure was reborn from the purple sword qi that flew away.
The remnants of the sword qi fluttered wildly, but they were never able to break the nirvana qi shield outside Shen Qiu's body, just like a turtle shell, swaggering.
He looked at the Daoist Ziwei who had changed dramatically in front of him, and knew that the reckless lady personality had come out again.
"Huang Wudi?"
"Shh
Shen Qiu sneered.
His hands were clenched into two fists, and there was no longer any other kind of true qi gushing out, but instead, there was a strange flow of air like colorful glass, wrapped around his arms and fists.
"You reckless man, how rude! I'm talking to my father-in-law, what's the matter with you? ”
"Evil beast!"
Huang Wushu saw that Shen Qiu was so rude.
Anger comes from the heart.
This reckless man operated the true qi mixed with spiritual energy, his fingers were dotted, and he slashed forward with three more swords.
The sky-shattering sword aura was vertical and horizontal, and the platform was a little shaken.
"Bang"
Kaitian punched forward and blasted forward.
The five-colored air flow dissolves in the aura, and its fist power bursts like a dragon.
In the thunder, the three sword qi in front of him were smashed head-on.
Powerful. Open the sky!
With a slight movement under his feet, there were remnants all over the sky, shrinking into inches, and the impermanence of heaven hit the rising dragon with a punch.
Blasted through the Zixia Qi Shield, with a fierce force, and hit Huang Wuxian's divine soul.
One punch contains five elements of circulation.
The five qi forces are divided into five kinds of strength.
When he hit the head of the road, he was blocked by his fist.
The two qi collided, bringing a storm of shattered spiritual energy, like a tornado.
Shen Qiu looked at the stunned Taishan reckless man in front of him.
Said coldly:
"I can't clean up Huang Wumiao, and I can't clean you up?"
"Since you sent it to the door yourself, then don't blame Shen for being ruthless."
