Chapter 5: The Nightmare Scroll
The old man said slowly: "There has been such a legend in our land, a long time ago, there was no country in the world, everyone lived together, men and women weave, sunrise and do, sunset and rest, although the days are hard, but people live very happily."
People multiplied, and over time, the population became overcrowded, and gradually, the food harvested from the land was not enough to meet people's daily needs, so everyone cut down trees, burned forests, and cultivated fields.
All this, but I don't want to, alarmed the beasts and demons in the depths of the mountains, and the beasts and demons who drank blood, and the people invaded the mountains and forests where the demons depended, which made them very angry, so the days of suffering came.
The demons attacked the people, their size, their armor and claws, and the flesh and blood of the people could not withstand the flames of the demons' wrath.
The land that used to be peaceful and peaceful is now like hell, terrifying and terrifying. Some people sleep forever in the ground, some people lose the courage to fight against demons, and some people choose to leave their homeland and leave this purgatory-like land.
But there is another man, who leads the rest of his people in a life-and-death duel with the demons, and is bound to defend their homeland, and he prays to the heavens to save these thousands of people. His courage and piety touched the heavens, so the fairy blessed the man and passed on a book from heaven and a treasure to help him defeat the demons.
This man was gifted, and soon learned all the secret techniques in the Book of Heaven. When fighting with the demons again, the secret art on the book of heaven showed infinite power, the demons were difficult to resist, and they were defeated and retreated, and people finally saw the dawn of victory, so some of the fleeing people came back to participate in the battle, and people's morale increased greatly, and they kept the demons back to the endless abyss, and the person set up an enchantment at the entrance of the endless abyss, and the demons were sealed in the endless abyss, and the sun never saw the sun. β
When everyone heard this, they all rejoiced and applauded. The old man took a sip of the camellia and continued: "However, although the secret techniques recorded in the Book of Heaven are extremely powerful, they are not capable of being driven by ordinary people at will. Although the man defeated the demons, he used all his potential and finally died of exhaustion. β
Everyone sighed with regret, only Wushuang, who seemed to say thoughtfully: "Could it be that this 'Dream Scroll' is the secret technique in this heavenly book?"
The old man glanced at Wushuang in admiration, and said: "Yes, after that person died, the greed of human nature was revealed, and everyone saw with their own eyes the powerful power of the secret art recorded in the Book of Heaven, and they fought for the Book of Heaven and the treasure, in the chaos, the Book of Heaven was divided into eight volumes, and they were coaxed away by everyone, and the treasure was not spared, in the chaos, it was broken into five parts, and was obtained by the five patriarchs. Since then, the world has been fighting for treasures and heavenly books, and after several decades, the five patriarchs have established their own countries, and the fighting between countries has continued, and it is still to this day.
And the eight volumes of the book that day, since being robbed by others, were taken by people with a heart to study and study, although they can't get a full glimpse of the way of heaven, but they also have extraordinary power, since then, these people have started sects, so there are so many sects in the world. And this 'Scroll of Shocking Dreams' is one of the volumes of the Book of Heaven. β
Everyone suddenly realized the truth and asked, "Then why is the 'Dream Scroll' in our Hundred Grass Valley?" β
The old man replied, "Since I have spoken of this here today, I will let you know the various reasons. After that, he took another sip of camellia, sighed and said, "The youngest of you has been in the Hundred Grass Valley for more than ten years, do any of you know who the man in this portrait behind the teacher is?"
When everyone heard this, they all looked up at the portrait hanging in the center of the hall. After a while, Hua Wuflaw replied: "This disciple in the valley, except for Senior Brother Wumian, I am the oldest, although I often see Master and you burn incense and sacrifice, but I have never heard Master mention this person's name. β
Hua Wuming continued: "Could it be that this person is the ancestor of our Baicao Valley?"
The old man waved his hand, looked into the distance, pondered for a moment and said slowly: "About fifty years ago, our Baicao Valley was extremely strong, and the disciples under our sect were not much better than the current Wuwu Palace. The disciples of the Medicine Sect are good at administering medicine to save people, treat injuries and mend the disabled, and there are also secret methods of this sect, which can bring people back to life. However, the Poison Sect transports poison and kills people, and it can take people's lives in a moment, and those who hear it are terrified. There have always been great differences and struggles between the two sects, and although the two sects are of the same origin, the magic and art industries are all different and opposite.
Fifty years ago, the disciples of the two sects fought for the position of the head of Baicao Valley, and the contradictions and differences became more and more intense. My master is a highly gifted disciple of the Medicine Sect, and since he was a child, he has been passed on by his ancestors and passed on all the secret methods of the Medicine Sect to my master, and the ancestor hopes that the master can take his place and be the head of this hundred grass valley at that time. But at that time, there was a disciple of the Poison Sect, named Mu Qi, his master, died early for many years, Mu Zhu had the true inheritance of the rest of the elders of the Poison Sect since he was a child, and was proficient in the elders of the elders, this person was extremely talented in using poison, because of his ruthlessness, nicknamed 'Shura'.
This person is ambitious, and he has never taken our medicine sect seriously, and he is wholeheartedly trying to compete for the position of the head of the family. One day, I asked my master to duel in the back mountain, and the two agreed that whoever won could be the head. The master agreed to his request, and the two of them fought for a whole day and a night in the back mountain, and finally Mu Qi lost to my master with one move, and he was very unconvinced, and buried the murderous intention.
One day and night, Mu Mu Mu sneaked into the forbidden place of my door, stole our Baicao Valley's book of heaven 'Scroll of Returning to the Heavens', and secretly practiced in a place where no one was, and was finally discovered by my ancestors. But it was too late, he had basically learned all the secret methods in the Book of Heaven, and in order to improve his martial arts, he did not hesitate to destroy his body, use his body to nourish poison, and his skills have improved greatly. The Book of Heaven is indeed powerful, and if you understand the secret method on the Book of Heaven, the progress of your own skills will not be the same.
Mu Que's magic has been completed, but the temperament has become more violent and cruel, as if he has fallen into the devil, the two sides tore their faces, Mu Que will fight, the same door in his eyes is just an ant that can be pinched to death, that battle is dark, I Baicao Valley was the bloodiest slaughter since the establishment of the faction, Mu Que's poisonous skills will come out, and they will take people's lives in an instant, pity the forty disciples in the valley who went to hunt down Mu Mu, all died on the spot, the master was furious, led the elders and more than 80 elite disciples in the valley, and pursued Mu Que together, who wanted that Mu Mu, it was really good, and fought everyone alone with the power of one person, and it was not the slightest advantageγ The elders and disciples around him, the more they fought, the younger they fought, the ancestor was shocked and angry, and ordered the master to hurriedly go to the Wuwu Palace to invite the Wuwu Palace Master, and the strength of everyone, as well as this 'Dream Scroll', finally restrained the wooden bars.
In despair, Mu Yu laughed a few times, and took himself as a guide to use the 'Ten Thousand Poisonous Blood Curse', which is the most powerful killing move in the 'Scroll of Returning to the Heavens'. At that time, everyone was defenseless, and they had all been hit by the blood curse, except for my master and ancestor, some disciples with shallow roots were killed on the spot, and even the palace master of the Wuwu Palace was caught off guard, and it was difficult to escape the doom, but you can imagine the power of this curse.
Mu Yu took himself as a guide, and he didn't live long, dragging his last breath, and jumped off the Baizhang Heavenly Cliff with the 'Scroll of Returning to the Heavens' on his back. Since then, the disciples of my Baicao Valley, in addition to the master and master, some disciples with shallow foundations, and several elders have all died at the hands of Mu Yu, a total of one hundred and thirty-seven people. β
When everyone heard this, they were all stunned. Wu Idiot said: "It is incredible that this wooden tree killed one hundred and thirty-seven people with the power of one person. What happened then? Is the tree dead? Have you ever found the 'Scroll of Returning to Heaven' in my door?"
Everyone also looked at the old man curiously, and the old man continued: "Later, the ancestor was full of grief and anger, and he was hit by the blood curse of the wooden tree, and after a few days, he also passed away. The master also fell under the blood curse of Mu Qi, knowing that he would not live long, and he was also extremely guilty about the death of the master of the Wuwu Palace, so he was ready to return this 'Dream Scroll' to the Wuwu Palace. Curious, the master couldn't help but look through the 'Dream Scroll', and by mistake, he found that there was a secret method that recorded the 'Dream Scroll' that could clear the mind and avoid poison, so he slowly practiced, and finally got better day by day, and he kept carrying this 'Dream Scroll' with him.
After a few months, Master's health was much better, and he was still relieved, so he jumped off the cliff and climbed down the cliff to look for it, but under the cliff was a huge river, and the water was turbulent. If the wooden tree can really get away with it, I don't know how far it has been washed away at this moment. But the master still did not give up, and searched down the giant river, looking for more than a few years, but found nothing, on the way back to Baicao Valley, by a stream, picked up my orphan, raised as an adult, with the master's surname Hua, named Qingxi. β
Hua Wuming sighed and said, "It turns out that we still have such an old story in Baicao Valley. β
The old man Hua Qingxi said: "Yes, in a blink of an eye, it has been nearly fifty years. When Master was dying, he warned me that the Book of Heaven was very powerful, especially the 'Dream Scroll', which was the most vicious, and that if it fell into the hands of someone with a wrong mind, it would be very harmful, so I asked me to seal the 'Dream Scroll' for 50 years after his death. Fifty years later, if the palace sends someone to ask for it, it will be returned to him. But later, since the death of the palace lord Lu Jinyan, the disciples in the palace have been in turmoil for the position of the palace master, so the matter has been shelved, and there are not many people who know about it. β
Hua Wuzhi asked, "I see." I don't know who is in the hands of the rest of the Heavenly Books, Master, can you tell us about it?"
Hua Qingxi said: "The Book of Heaven is divided into eight books, a 'Dream Scroll', which was originally owned by the Tianxiang Kingdom and the Wuwu Palace, which fell into my door fifty years ago, and has now been returned to the Wuwu Palace; a 'Scroll of Returning to the Sky', which was originally owned by our Baicao Valley, but since fifty years ago, Mu Yu jumped off the cliff with this scroll, and now it has been lost; a 'Scroll of Returning to the Source', which is rumored to be in the hands of Xiyao, the king of Canghai Kingdom; The Scroll of Ten Thousand Swords', which is rumored to be in the hands of Jian Nansheng, the master of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion in the Izumo Kingdom; a 'Endless Scroll', which is rumored to be in the Nanli Country, in the Lihuo Sect, since more than ten years ago, the sect leader disappeared, and the whereabouts of this volume are unknown; a 'Unbroken Scroll', which is rumored to be in the hands of Shangguan Ao, the master of the Pure Yang Gate, in the Yuanchen Kingdom, as for this last book of heaven, it is the general outline of the entire Book of Heaven, but no one has heard of the whereabouts of this volume. β
Hua Wufang said: "There are a total of eight books of heaven, only half of them are left in the world, and the rest are either lost or destroyed. β
Hua Qingxi said: "What the flawed child said is true, but the secret method of the Book of Heaven, mortals will rarely use the whole law, driven at will, if you do it strongly, you will use up your potential and die of exhaustion." If you are lucky enough to obtain the fragment of the Book of Heaven in the future, you must slowly move forward, and you must not rush for quick success, and beware of entering the Demon Path. β
All the disciples said, "Disciples, remember Master's teachings. β
Hua Qingxi glanced at the disciples with satisfaction, and said, "That's all for today, you senior brothers haven't seen each other for a few days, let's talk a little bit, let's disperse." With that, he got up and walked out of the hall.
When everyone saw that the master was gone, they immediately became lively, and Wu Huan and Wu regret immediately surrounded Wu Idiot.
Wuhuan said: "Hehe." 'Shameless junior brother', what good things do you have to honor your senior sister when you come back from the mountain this time?"
The idiot said embarrassedly: "It's the idiot junior brother, not the shameless junior brother." β
Wuhuan laughed and said, "Aren't they all the same, anyway, they all mean the same thing." β
Wu Idiot feigned anger and said: "How can it be the same, the reading method is different." β
He smiled secretly without regrets and said, "Don't play tricks, take it out and let us see." β
Hua Wushuang saw that everyone was talking and laughing, so it was not lively, his eyes looked around, and he saw that Hua Wushuang was still there with his head bowed and pondering, frowning slightly, very good-looking, Wushuang stepped forward, bent down and made a wave, and said to Hua Wufang: "Senior sister, I have something I want to ask you." I don't know if it's convenient for you. β
Hua Wufang was pondering to himself, raised his head suddenly, and at this moment, he saw the two of them staring at each other, the tips of their noses almost touched each other, and they were all stunned in place, and Wushuang's heavy and powerful breathing came from his flawless cheeks, and he suddenly blushed, and said angrily: "Why are you so close?"
Wushuang reacted and hurriedly made amends, Wushuang didn't mean to hate him, seeing Wushuang's trembling and careful appearance in front of him, his expression eased slightly: "What's the matter?"
Wushuang said: "It's a little inconvenient now, please borrow a step from Senior Sister to speak." β
A pair of flawless beautiful eyes turned smartly, thinking that Wushuang took this as an opportunity to find a reason to talk to me, and I saw what he said, if not, it would be unforgivable. He said, "Okay, I'll go with you." β
Wushuang said: "Thank you, senior sister." With that, they got up and left the hall and walked outside. No regrets at this time is from the idiot to get a bag puppet, the puppet in the hand, really fun, no regrets since childhood in the valley cultivation, never seen the outside scene, a small thing to play with the love of love, he got a baby, he wanted to show off to Wushuang, but just saw that Wushuang and Flawless left with each other, I couldn't help but feel sour, so uncomfortable.
