Chapter 51: The Seal
It's uncharted territory.
The bright red heart-shaped object was vibrating violently.
In the midst of the beating object, two men with their eyes closed lay here, their hands and feet wrapped around one by one large, sturdy chains, thick and powerful, flashing with black light, and on top of them, at every other point, a spell containing terrifying power.
Suddenly...
One of the man's fingers flicked slightly.
......
"Say hello to the master." Dongfang Ye bowed to an old man in front of him.
"It's Ye'er..."The old man coughed, his face was very pale, and his breath was even more chaotic, "Is there anything in this sect that can't be handled?" ”
"Nope." Dongfang Ye arched his hand and said: "It's just that the disciple has always wanted to ask about something, so..."
The old man grimaced and said, "What's the matter?" ”
Dongfang Ye fell into deep thought, "It's Senior Brother Lu." ”
"Oh." The old man sighed and said, "Ask." ”
"Teacher, Senior Brother Lu has changed too much in recent years, I still remember what Senior Brother Lu looked like hundreds of years ago, but... In the past few years, he has become more and more out of tune, acting strangely, and being frivolous. Dongfang Ye said slowly.
The old man coughed.
"Now, he doesn't know what he's doing, just stepped on a huge flying sword and flew out to the outside world." Dongfang Ye hated the iron and said: "In this way, when will he be able to fly to the immortal realm, and glorify the lintel for my ghost valley." ”
The old man chuckled in his heart.
"What do you say? He... Edgeworth flew out? The old man frowned and said, "Didn't I order the Guigu to close the mountain?" How can you still let him out? ”
Dongfang Ye was slightly stunned.
The rules of the Ghost Valley do not need to be followed by any monk who is in the Tribulation Period.
But it's always been an unspoken rule.
He couldn't speak.
"The disciple guarding the door can't stop the trip of the senior disciple Lu, and... Senior Brother Lu's cultivation is profound, and he has reached the stage of calamity, so there should be no accident. Dongfang Ye couldn't help but say.
"Confused!" The old man shouted, "I'm not worried about that bastard, I'm worried about others!" ”
Dongfang Ye was a little confused, he didn't know how to answer.
"Master... As for being so serious? Dongfang Ye said: "Although the cultivation of the junior brother is in the period of calamity, and he is first-class in the world, it is not that no one can deal with him. ”
The old man smiled bitterly and said, "Do you know why the Ghost Valley was closed five years ago? ”
Dongfang Ye shook his head, indicating that he didn't know why.
"Because, defeated, he is not in the calamity period at all." When the old man said this, Dongfang Ye was obviously startled, and his brain suddenly went blank, it wasn't the Tribulation Period, what could it be?
"Back then, the defeated child studied a technique on his own to compress the evil thoughts, killing intent, and lust in the body... Sealed in his body, that year, because he sealed these distracting thoughts, his practice in the Tribulation Period was unimpeded, and then, as you know, his temperament became more and more frivolous, and he liked to tinker with some strange things more and more, but these were not in the way, he easily broke through to the Tribulation Period, and there was no abnormality. The old man was caught up in the memories of the past.
"At the time, I thought that the loser had created a new way to cross the catastrophe." The old man smiled, which quickly turned into a bitter smile, "You know... During the tribulation period, there are feelings, and there are all kinds of demons who obstruct it, and as long as these things are sealed, then it is easy for the tribulation period to embark on the tribulation period. ”
"Because, the difference between these two cultivations is the realm, the state of mind, not the cultivation."
"One day, the defeated child suddenly came to me and wanted me to put a few more sealing spells on his body, he said that he didn't expect that things like desire and evil thoughts would gradually expand with the passage of time, and when later, the desire compressed in his body became more and more inflated, and he didn't want to separate these evil thoughts from his body and bring disaster to the world, so he wanted to increase the strength of the seal." The old man's smile became even more bitter.
"So, something happened that neither he nor I expected, that is, the power compressed by demons, evil thoughts, killing intent, and lust was actually transformed into a new personality."
"And then?" In Dongfang Ye's mind, there seemed to be some fragments of memory flashing.
"Then, the seal is broken." The old man took a deep breath and said, "On that day, after the ruined child's body was dominated by evil thoughts, his cultivation swelled violently, and according to my speculation, it was no longer the cultivation of the Tribulation Period. ”
Dongfang Ye suddenly realized.
"In other words, the person who fought with Shizun back then was Senior Brother Lu?" Dongfang Ye said with a frown.
"Yes, the road defeat composed of evil thoughts, I will use the state of demons to describe it for the time being." The old man said slowly.
"Demons? This state? Is there another form of the difficult road junior brother? Dongfang Ye asked word by word.
"That's right, there are two states in total, the demon form composed of evil thoughts, lust, killing intent, etc., and the immortal form composed of good thoughts, heroic spirit, bravery, etc." The old man said solemnly: "If it weren't for the fact that the immortal form had the upper hand in the body of the defeated child and snatched the control of the body, I would not have been able to implement the seal. ”
Dongfang Ye recalled that in the sky of the Ghost Valley that day...
That unforgettable battle.
He always thought that it was the Demon Dao Giant who visited the Ghost Valley and fought with his master, where would he have thought that it was his junior brother who had gone mad.
"Then the current Senior Brother Lu..."Dongfang Ye hesitated for a moment.
"It's the mortal form, and I don't know what kind of strange personality has awakened, since the immortal form and the demon form were sealed, he has been obsessed with some strange developments all day long."
The old man sighed, "But... In the beginning, I only sealed the demon form, but my seal was basically useless against the demon form, unless someone could help me suppress it. ”
"Plus... The defeated child who has been in the immortal form for a long time, in the dark, has always felt the attraction from the immortal world, and he is unwilling to fly to the immortal realm, so he proposed to seal him and the demon form together. ”
Dongfang Ye knew, and he said awe-inspiringly: "In other words, Senior Brother Lu who originally worshiped in the Ghost Valley was a combination of the three personalities, so it seemed normal. ”
"It should be said that... It is the failure of all forms that is abnormal. The old man stroked his beard and said.
"I see... The exit of the immortal form and the demon form allowed the personality of the mortal form to occupy, and as a result, a junior brother of the road with a not very normal brain appeared? Dongfang Ye Mao said: "Then Master, the problem is still that question... Why is the Ghost Valley closed? ”
The old man glanced at him, and seemed to think that this question was very ignorant.
"Because, after a hundred years of sealing, I noticed that the seal was a little loose, and I needed to re-strengthen the seal, so I sealed the mountain for a while, waited for the defeated immortal and demon form to appear together, and sealed it again."
Dongfang Ye's lips trembled slightly, swallowed his saliva and said, "That... What would happen to Senior Brother Lu if he entered the Demon Form in the outside world? ”
The old man turned his back and looked into the distance.
"All life is destroyed, and all things are lost."
"In the mortal realm, there should be no one who can stop the power of the immortals."
Dongfang Ye's expression slowly became solemn, and he said, "Master... If the Stepping Heaven Sect is destroyed... What will happen? ”
