Chapter 36: The Way of Life
As soon as Li Tai stepped into the path illuminated by the light of his pupils, all the clouds and fog that were raging around him gradually receded, until a step appeared in his eyes.
"This is the staircase that leads to the fifth floor. Li Taiyi thought in his heart.
A crisp and elegant voice sounded behind him, and Li Taiyi hurriedly closed the eyes of heaven.
"This brother is really a good means, he actually came here one step ahead of me, which made Lu and me ashamed. Lu Moyun spoke in surprise and walked to Mrs. Li's side.
As soon as Mrs. Li saw this jade-faced scholar who was a famous scholar in the Nine Dragons Domain, she didn't dare to hold it up, and saluted and said: "The Divine Son said that it was funny, I have only just come here, and I can only get here with some small means, and I can't get on the stage." ”
Lu Moyun gently shook the paper fan and squinted at him. Seeing that Mrs. Li's clothes had a big hole in her shoulder, it was obvious that she had suffered a lot of injuries before.
He smiled and said, "Don't be humble, being able to come here shows that you are naturally outstanding." I wonder if my brother can tell me the name?"
When Mrs. Li saw that his clothes were neat and clean, without any dust and holes, she was secretly awe-inspiring in her heart.
"Down there is Li Taiyi of the Red Moon Empire. I heard the prestige of the Son of God early, and when I saw it today, it was really extraordinary. Li Taiyi arched his hand and said.
Lu Moyun smiled and said politely: "Brother Li is polite." ”
He suddenly remembered something and asked, "Daoyou is from the Red Moon Empire, but he is walking with the Holy Maiden of the Ling Kingdom?"
Li Taiyi didn't understand why he suddenly mentioned Yue Wuyin, but he still nodded: "Yes." ”
"Oh?" Lu Moyun laughed, "I didn't expect that someone would dare to walk with her." ”
"In the vast Nine Dragons Domain, there are only a few people who can make Lu Moyun admire, and you and the Holy Maiden of Lingguo are one of them. ”
Li Taiyi didn't know why he said this, but when he saw his smiling face, he felt a chill.
Lu Moyun turned his head, looked at the steps, and asked, "This Daoist brother, do you have a way to climb the tower?"
Li Taiyi shook his head and said: "My cultivation is low, and it is all a fluke to be able to get here, where do I dare to hope to climb the tower again." I only hope to find an opportunity at this level, and I have fulfilled my wish. ”
Lu Moyun naturally wouldn't believe that Li Taiyi, who had cultivated to the second level of the Dao Mind Realm, had come here by luck alone, but he still said, "Since that's the case, I'll give it a try." ”
He put away the paper fan, took out the jade pen, drew a black and white ink dragon in the air, and read: "Go." ”
As soon as the ink dragon reached the first floor of the stairs, it was split into several sections by a cold light, turning into bits and pieces of ink.
The scattered droplets of ink turned into countless black and white birds on the way down, scurrying upwards and crushed on the steps by the prohibition on the stairs.
The ink droplets on the sprinkler steps gathered and turned into black and white centipedes, swaying from side to side and climbing upwards. By the third of the way up the ladder, the centipedes had been frozen into ice by the cold wind on the steps, and they had all been shattered into slag.
Lu Moyun frowned tightly and sighed, "The coercion within this fifth layer is so terrifying. ”
He suddenly turned his head to Li Taiyi and said, "Brother Li, why don't I wait for the two of us to try it together?"
When Mrs. Li heard this, her heart moved. Lu Moyun naturally has an extraordinary nature, if he can join forces with himself, he should be much more sure of ascending to the fifth layer of the tower.
He was just about to agree, when he suddenly remembered what Yue Wuyin had said to him before:
"You remember, you know people and faces, but you don't know your heart. This person, the farther away you are from him, the better, if you have the opportunity in the future, you can kill him, if you can't kill him, you will leave, you must not be with him, let alone be friends with him. ”
As soon as Li Taiyi knew that Yue Wuyin naturally had her reason for saying this, she excused herself and said: "Even the means of the Divine Son who are so heavenly can not help this tower, so I don't have to work in vain." I'll go to this level first to look for opportunities, so that you can see the smile. ”
Lu Moyun listened, smiled, and said, "It's okay, Brother Li will go first, and I'll study and study here." If not, I can only accept my fate. ”
Mrs. Li arched her hand and walked back. Naturally, he didn't really give up, but some means were inconvenient to show in front of Lu Moyun.
After Li Taiyi walked away, Lu Moyun performed various legal decisions under the ladder, but they were all in vain. He gritted his teeth unwillingly, and finally sighed softly, and after drawing an invisible prohibition on the stairs with a brush, he retreated.
Li Taiyi walked to a safe area with the help of the Heavenly Eye, and countless ushered in yin winds would automatically bypass this place, and he cultivated cross-legged.
He deduced that although the Nine Dragons Demon Tower was extremely dangerous, it seemed to have deliberately left a way to survive. And the key to finding this way of life is the Qimen Dunjia recorded in the "Zhou Yi" that he cultivated.
He took out the dark red ancient book from the ring and cultivated in place. As his soul entered the early stage of the Xuan Realm, his sea of knowledge has also broadened a lot, and his understanding of the full text of "Zhou Yi" has also risen to a higher level.
He originally thought that the Book of Changes was just a book that recorded feng shui physiognomy, but in fact, it was a collection of yin and yang, physiognomy, alchemy, arrays, and runes. What I have practiced so far is only the tip of the iceberg of the whole book, and I haven't even touched the skin.
He turned to the page where Qimen Dunjia was recorded, and began to understand the mysteries.
Qimen Dunjia, there are three articles of the sun, moon and stars;
, Jing, Shock, Death Eight Gates, "Zhou Yi" only records the three doors of opening, rest, and birth in the Japanese chapter, and the remaining two articles and six doors should be recorded in the remaining two articles of the "Book of Changes", "Lianshan" and "Returning to Tibet".
Now Li Taiyi's understanding of Zhou Yi is only at the stage of opening the door, and he also knows that if he wants to continue to climb the tower, he must at least cultivate this Qimen Dunjia to the realm of Xiumen.
He recited the Great Dao scriptures on the "Zhou Yi" over and over again, and the yin wind around him swirled around him, drawing a huge yin and yang gossip diagram centered on him.
"Yin and Yang are difficult to be poor, and the second to the ninth palace is returned;
If you can reach the yin and yang principles, heaven and earth are in the palm of your hand.
Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor fought against Chi You, and Zhuolu suffered for many years;
Even dreams of the gods to give talismans, ascend the altar to sacrifice and practice sincerely. ”
“.......”
Every time he recited a word, the yin and yang aura in his sea became more vigorous, and finally turned into a huge yin and yang vortex, absorbing the power of yin and yang around Li Taiyi.
"The punishment has not been applied for the punishment of the tiger, and the punishment of Yin Sichen is noon;
Sanqi should be carefully pushed into the tomb, and the first day can enter the Kun Palace.
Bingqi belongs to the fire tomb, and everything should not be done at this time;
It is also the second of the six B, and the same is true of Ding Qi's eight.
Sometimes I go to the tomb palace, and I don't meet in class;
Wuxu Renchen and Bingxu, Guiwei Ding Chou is also the same murderer. ”
After a long time, Li Taiyi finished reading all the scriptures of the Japanese chapter in the Qimen Dunjia recorded in the classics, and the yang energy in his left eye was flourishing, and the yin energy in his right eye was breeding, and there was a huge white giant sun hidden in the eye of the sky, emitting a black light.
Half an hour later, Li Taiyi hid the yin and yang aura he exuded.
He got up, and when he looked ahead with the eyes of heaven, a white path was paved in front of him.
Mrs. Li smiled and walked along the path.
It didn't take long for him to come to the bottom of the steps again, and there was no longer Lu Moyun around.
The winding white path stretched to the end of the steps, and Li Taiyi stepped up,
When he stepped on the first step of the stairs, a black aura dissipated under his feet, and he only thought it was the power of yin and yang that had been dispersed, but he didn't pay much attention to it.
Lu Moyun in the distance was shocked, turned his head to look in the direction of Li Taiyi, and said in surprise: "Someone has climbed the fourth floor?
He turned and walked quickly over there.
Li Taiyi still walked at an unhurried and uniform speed, and reached the fifth layer without much effort.
In the fifth layer, there was a cold sky and snow, and a piece of silver light flashed coldly, cutting Li Taiyi's eyes.
He rubbed his eyes in discomfort and continued on the white path.
At this moment, he didn't dare to be distracted at all. If he deviated from the slightest trace of the life path in the tower, he would either be squeezed by the explosion body in the fifth layer that was far stronger than his own or be frozen into an ice sculpture by the cold wind.
He walked so cautiously for half an hour, and then he saw the steps leading to the next floor.
He took a deep breath and unsteadily raised his leg and stepped on it.
Lu Moyun reached the steps leading to the fifth floor on the fourth floor, feeling the residual breath here.
"Li Taiyi?" Lu Moyun sneered: "Interesting, I really didn't expect you to hide so deeply, Brother Li." ”
He took out his jade pen and drew a huge black spirit array on the ground in front of the steps, and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, I will give you a gift." ”
Li Taiyi looked at the purgatory-like scene in the sixth layer, countless godless ghosts wailing and wandering in the yin wind, tearing and biting each other.
The bitten spirits gathered again, repeating itself. Li Taiyi felt a chill in his back, like this, it is the so-called suffering of ten thousand split bodies, and he will never be able to be reborn.
There were a few powerful ghosts that seemed to feel a trace of Li Taiyi's breath hidden in the way of life, wandering and circling around him.
The life path that can be seen in the eye of heaven is getting narrower and narrower, and from time to time the life path will disappear, and it will only reappear in Mrs. Li's eye after a while.
Even so, he gritted his teeth and crawled.
Li Taiyi himself didn't know why, and always thought that he should go to another level. It was as if a touch of cause and effect between heaven and earth was guiding him in the dark.
Anyway, he gritted his teeth and walked up the steps to the seventh floor, slowly moving upwards.
From time to time, there are ghosts in the middle of his life, and he can only wait for the ghosts to leave before he can continue to climb the tower. A hundred steps, it took him a full hour.
The divine soul gradually dried up because of the long opening of the heavenly eye, but fortunately, before his divine soul was overdrawn, Li Taiyi finally ascended to the seventh floor of the tower.
It is rumored that no one has ever been to this layer, and Li Taiyi originally thought that this layer would be extremely dangerous, but when he actually came up, it was completely different from what he thought.
He didn't feel a trace of coercion, and the seventh layer was like a paradise with mountains and rivers, and the scenery was pleasant. From time to time, the spring breeze came to his face, which made Li Taiyi feel relaxed and happy.
Not far away, there was a wooden house, the door "creaked-" slowly opened, and a peerless beauty slowly walked in.
