Volume 4: The Eventful Years Chapter 232: The Statue of the Emperor [I]
Of course, this formation is not the Lock Mountain Sword Formation on Wufu Hill, I am afraid that only Xiao Tian can see the clue, Baoyu seems to be sitting on the white jade throne in the ruins of Taihao at this moment, and the twelve sword lights are twelve towering dragon blood treasure trees.
The Treasure Tree Lotus Pond in Taihao's ruins is all part of the magic circle, and it is also the earliest Yuanshen exterior scene in Baoyu's cultivation, and he has long been familiar with it, but he needs to understand its subtlety. The twelve Dragon's Blood Treasure Trees are connected to each other, and their lush canopies spread out, which can isolate the breath inside the ruins, making it difficult for outsiders to detect the abnormality.
Baoyu used a stone egg to simulate the evolution of this magic circle, but he concealed his own breath, and even if outsiders swept it with his divine sense, it would be difficult to find him sitting in the cave. After a while, the twelve sword lights turned into five tree lights, enveloping Baoyu's form and god, obviously evolving the five Langyu trees in the Taihao ruins, the light was five-colored, and it was like the wonder of the five-colored divine lotus.
Baoyu is evolving all the wonderful methods he has comprehended so far, and he is not confined to which supernatural power or which inheritance, he doesn't even have this concept. He was thinking about a question related to what Ziro had said that day.
The monks of the Beast Mountain went to the southern wilderness to forcibly kidnap the snake girl, and the honor guard was the secret magic power that they had cultivated. And Baoyu's treatment of Xia Zhuo's illness The secret method used was originally to make people refine the five qi internally and return to the Yuan, and to transport the heaven and earth spirit to the outside, but he was able to make Xia Zhuo completely indulge in Lan Mei'er's charming aura and deviate from the normal.
So what is the most desired goal of all kinds of secret methods in the world? It should be what people seek, and this process is called cultivation by Baoyu. So for Baoyu himself, what is the ultimate goal of him embarking on this road? Many things are destined to happen on the road, such as finding out the murderer of the Qingshui clan and avenging the clan. Next, is it the end of the path to heaven and the immortal? It doesn't seem to be the case.
What is the purpose of becoming an immortal, and why can a person be immortal? This seems to be the same question as how a person can cultivate. In his opinion, there is no difference between the various secret traditions and all kinds of supernatural powers, and they are all contained in the innate and earthly origin avenue.
Just like the lamp that the mountain master lit back then, before it appeared in the world, it was never lit and always existed.
Baoyu has evolved and practiced all kinds of wonderful methods these days, and he has not forgotten to practice martial arts. The stone eggs often fly out of the cave and turn into sword light, and the strength of Wu Ding Gong is integrated into the method of imperial weapons, becoming a powerful sword technique. Due to the special nature of his magic weapon, the sword qi is vertical and horizontal, and the changes echo each other. It vaguely resembles an unfolded sword array.
......
On this day, when Baoyu once again sacrificed the stone egg out of the cave to unfold the sword intent, he didn't know that there were five people watching from afar in the sky of Feixue. Among them is the sect leader of Wufu Qiu, Jian Sha, in addition to the original three elders, there is another woman with a slender figure and beautiful face, which is the Taodong Great Elder who has just come out of the customs.
Jian Sha looked at the sword light that was circling and flying in the middle of the mountain, squinted his eyes and said, "I see that his magic weapon is obviously an egg, and a flying sword can actually hatch out of the egg...... This is quite the essence of my Wufu Qiu's sword refining, no matter what utensils can give the sword intent edge. Which of you taught him?"
The junior fourth elder shook his head and said, "This is not what I taught, after he broke through the Five Realms, his refining methods were naturally more sophisticated, giving the original magic weapon sword intent edge, which may be related to the fact that he once touched the Lock Mountain Sword Formation." ”
Jian Sha asked again, "Look at the means of his imperial weapon." The sword light slashed out by the magic weapon is clearly the evolution of the strength of Wu Ding Gong. This is also my Wufuqiu swordsmanship, who taught him?" As he spoke, he glanced at the second elder obliquely.
The second elder hurriedly shook his head and said, "I didn't teach it, I really didn't teach it." I've been on the main peak lately, but I don't feel sorry for this kid anymore. Presumably, he has cultivated martial arts to the extreme, and he has refined magic weapons with sword intent. I can't help but try to evolve this kind of swordsmanship, which contains the true meaning of the sword technique of Wufuqiu. ”
Jian Sha stared at the third elder again and asked, "That's it, it's the first time I've seen someone use an egg to perform it!" But his sword light faintly turned into a sword formation. ...... Huo, what's going on?"
Huo Bo also hurriedly shook his head: "I haven't taught him the sword formation, he is not the true disciple of Wufu Qiu, and he has not become a descendant of the inner sect, how can he teach him the sword formation?...... Sect Master, take a closer look, it is not Wufu Qiu's sword formation, it should be the formation he himself learned before, and at this moment, he is trying to combine the magic of swordsmanship and magic weapon evolution, and the power is still a little tender!"
Jian Xuan sighed helplessly, and then turned his head and asked the Great Elder: "Imperial Sword, Sword Refining, Sword Formation, the three secret legends on the Wufu Hill, this kid seems to be able to do it, then there is only the sword talisman technique left." ...... Taodong, you won't teach him the sword talisman again, right? He is not a true disciple, let alone a descendant of the inner sect, which is against the rules of the sect. ”
The Great Elder also shook his head and said, "Sect Master, none of us have to rob you of disciples! But since he has been able to evolve the sword formation on his own, if he is proficient in rune supernatural powers, he may not be able to refine the sword talisman by himself in the future. If that is the day, don't ask me!"
Jian Xuan glared and said, "Refining sword talismans, how can it be as simple as you say?"
The Great Elder shrugged his shoulders and said, "Of course it's not simple, but what is the simplicity of the Imperial Sword, Sword Refining, and Sword Formation Techniques, hasn't he learned them all?" If it were someone else, of course I wouldn't think so, but he might not be able to say it! That Xia Zhuo's illness, even the sect master, you are helpless, didn't you also let him cure it, did you teach it?"
Jian Sha: "Is he called cured? He cured people so much that their souls were taken away!"
Great Elder: "No matter how he cured it, but Xia Zhuo's life was saved, and there was no hindrance to anyone." ...... Sect Master, why did you lead him to do this, and how did you know that he could have such ability?"
Jian Sha muttered, "I didn't know for sure in advance, I just wanted to confirm his identity and origin." If he can use the Eli Zhu Elixir, he will have a close relationship with the fate, and if he can perform the spirit trick, he will be a disciple of the cangsha. ...... Unexpectedly, he is indeed the descendant of Mr. Cangjie!"
The second elder asked, "Sect Master, how can you be so sure?"
Jiansha: "That's what I guessed, and I'm not completely sure. But tell me, if you hadn't obtained the inheritance of the Lingshu Technique, how could you have cured Xia Zhuo's illness? It's just that his method is a little peculiar, and we haven't practiced the Lingshu Technique anyway, so maybe that's the case! In this way, he should be the 'little gentleman' who once appeared in the Xiangmuro Kingdom, and it is said that his person once accompanied Cangsha, and Mingsha was also very interested in him, and actually ran to Wufu Hill to cultivate. ”
The Third Elder muttered, "Hearing what the Sect Master said, the more I think about it, the more I think it's possible!"
Jian Sha finally let out a long sigh and said, "Mr. Cangsha's cultivation methods are really above me, he can teach such a disciple, which is admirable!"
The second elder whispered again: "If it is really the descendant of Mr. Cangsha, then he must be proficient in rune supernatural powers, and sooner or later he will be able to refine the art of sword runes." If that's the case, I'm still relieved! Otherwise, where would the kid come from, claiming to be from a casual cultivation background, and actually evolved the skills of the sword, sword refining, and sword formation that are in line with Wufu Qiu's secret intentions in his cultivation?"
Grand Elder Taodong frowned again and said, "If this kid wasn't a disciple of Cangsha, it shouldn't be that some master deliberately sent him to Wufu Qiu to slap his face, right? Then without his master himself, you have already been defeated. ”
Jian Sha asked very unhappily: "What kind of face? He didn't show off his cultivation in front of everyone, he just found a place to practice alone, and it was us Venerable Elders who came to watch him?...... No matter how capable he is, doesn't he still have to go to Wufu Qiu to practice swords? Now he is also my Wufu Qiu's miscellaneous disciple!"
The Second Elder muttered, "If he can climb the main peak, it means that he doesn't have any other thoughts in his heart, that is, he came to Wufu Qiu to practice, but it may be that we are thinking too much." In fact, he has already been able to climb the main peak, and with this kind of cultivation, it is normal for him to be able to evolve the swordsmanship of Wufu Qiu. ...... I think that the ancestor of the ancestor General Wufu also created the swordsmanship of Wufu Qiu on his own?"
His statement is quite novel, but it makes sense when you think about it. The third elder said again: "In any case, he has evolved this kind of swordsmanship on the basis of martial arts and combined with his own cultivation, and he can be regarded as the heir of the ancestor." ”
The Fourth Elder suddenly interjected, "Listen, what is that sound? It's the dog coughing, coughing like a human, no, it seems to be deliberately learning who is coughing." ”
The masters listened intently on the clouds, and sure enough, there was the coughing sound of a dog in the dense forest halfway up the mountainside. It was Xiao Tian coughing like someone, and his voice seemed a little old, imitating it vividly. Everyone's expressions became a little strange, and they all wanted to laugh but couldn't help it, and they couldn't help but look at Jian Sha.
Jian Sha's face seemed to be a little unbearable, and he stomped his feet in the void and said, "What kind of world is this?
The Fourth Elder whispered, "You should be referring to a dog demon, and we shouldn't discriminate against it." Anyway, that dog is also a miscellaneous disciple of my Wufu Hill, and it learns quite similarly, and it is very talented. ”
Jian Sha: "You Venerable Elders, why do you always come to peek at a child's cultivation and eavesdrop on how the dog coughs? Everyone is gone, let's all go back!" He took the lead in turning into a sword light and turned to fly away, and the other four elders glanced at each other and left.
......
Xiao Tian has been coughing lately. Every time it practiced the strength of opening the mountain, it always had to run into the dense forest, stand in the snow to face the wind, and let out one cough after another, as if it had a chicken feather stuck in its throat and couldn't pick it out.
At the beginning, Hanxiong still wondered if Xiao Tian was sick? The winter on the snow-capped mountains on this plateau was cold enough, but no, it was clearly a demon dog with magical powers, and it usually wouldn't get sick. Then it is injured in practice, and it is likely that it has hurt the lungs.
However, after checking the dog's state of aura, it didn't look like it was injured, and Hanxiong was worried that his cultivation was not deep enough, so he ran to remind Baoyu. Baoyu smiled and said: "It's not sick or injured, you don't have to worry about it, it's just playing, the scholar coughs." ”
After Baoyu's reminder, Hanxiong also suddenly realized, realizing that Xiao Tian had been imitating the coughing sound of the old man chopping wood recently. This dog is really ambitious, so weird and extremely clever kung fu, do you want to learn it when you see it? But it's rare that Xiao Tian has his own hobbies when he has nothing to do, and he coughs if he loves to cough.
The harsh winter on the plateau is very long, and the cultivation and labor day after day are very monotonous and boring. The snowfall finally stopped that day, Hanxiong went back to Mojian Peak to find Dajun and Xiaojun to play, and Baoyu also walked out of the cave, holding a long red wooden stick in his hand, which was the cold fire wood he used to pick pigs. Shaking it in his hand, the tough stick was extremely elastic and made a slight buzzing sound.
Xiao Tian heard the movement and ran over with his tail wagging his tail, wanting to see what Baoyu was going to do. Baoyu waved the wooden stick lightly towards the sky, and there was nothing unusual, but there was a sudden crisp sound in the air that seemed to be the air being torn, which was very slight and almost imperceptible. He is using the strength of Wu Ding Gong, which is cut through the wooden pole, and the movement of shaking his wrist is very cleverly combined.
In mid-air, a man was startled and said to himself, "Why did he come at me, did he find me? This is impossible...... Hey, isn't this the old man's unique skill of chopping wood? I just practiced and played at the beginning, but I didn't expect this kid to see it and now he has learned it, does this count as what I taught?"
The person hidden in the air was the Sect Master of Wufuqiu, Jian Sha, who did not let a few elders come to watch, but he still secretly ran to watch. If only Baoyu could see him. I guess I'll be taken aback. The legendary and famous Mr. Jiansha is actually the old man from the countryside who once sold sword embryos in the Red Jincheng Market, and he is also the strange old man who once appeared in the depths of the Southern Wilderness.
Baoyu held the cold fire wood and swung it into the air, there was no tree in front of him, he was just simulating the evolution of this kung fu, but he happened to be heading in the direction of the sword in the sky. Of course, the strength he sent out couldn't cut as far as the sword sha's foothold, and the sword shaman also tilted his head, interested in seeing how much fire he had learned, but Baoyu only made a few gestures, and then turned around and waved the cold fire wood towards the cliff wall.
Always chopping the air for something, Baoyu has not forgotten his mission. He's going to open a mine!
During this time, he and Hanxiong and Xiaotian have all devoted themselves to cultivation, and it has been a long time since they have specialized in mining stones, so this month's task must be completed first. With the swing of the wooden pole, Baoyu's momentum immediately changed, and there was a sword intent up and down his body, and there was a sword qi at the top of the long pole that swayed out, circling and flying into the mountain rock, and suddenly sparks splashed and stone chips flew everywhere.
Jian Sha, who was secretly watching, couldn't help but nod again and again, and said to himself: "Chopping wood is just a play for the old man when he was young. What really evolved was Wufuqiu's swordsmanship, well, that's it...... What are you doing with that dog?"
Xiao Tian likes to watch the excitement. Seeing Baoyu using his long pole to perform his swordsmanship so vigorously, it fell on all fours and arched its back, and coughed excitedly towards the stone wall. In the past, it was all about barking on such occasions, but now it's used to it.
The rock face was chiseled open to reveal veins deep in. Immediately, the whole piece of Wufu stone shell was cut off one after another, which was done by the strength of Wu Ding Gong, and at the same time, the stone was transported to the hillside and stacked neatly by the method of imperial objects. In fact, if you only rely on Wu Ding's strength. He could only split this Dao sword qi out, but now with the help of the Five Realms cultivation, he could control that sword qi whirlwind, accurately mine stones along the ore veins, and even cut them neatly.
This seems to be just a matter of handiness and chic, but it actually consumes a lot of mana. Jian Sha also wanted to know how deep this kid's skills were, and how long he could last it, so he still stood in the air and watched quietly. Suddenly, I saw a blue light flying out of the mountain rock, which was when Baoyu chiseled the stone shell and happened to have mined another Wufu beautiful stone.
At this moment, his movements suddenly stopped, and he turned his head and asked Xiao Tiandao, "What did you do just now?"
The stone chips flying between the cliffs of Fangcai were all over the sword, Xiao Tian coughed as if he was cheering, and the sword shatter was too far away to figure out what was going on, but Baoyu, who was all around Xiao Tian, was keenly aware of it. Xiao Tian was a little proud when he heard this, and coughed vigorously towards the front.
I saw a crack on a mountain rock more than a zhang away, as if a crack appeared out of thin air, accompanied by a crisp click, as if it had been slashed by a sharp blade.
Then the dog straightened up, wagged its tail and looked at Baoyu proudly, as if waiting for a compliment. However, Baoyu was stunned, and stood still for a long time without speaking. Xiao Tian was not only learning the old man's cough, but also emitted a force in the air from the cough, with an invisible sword intent. When did he learn this martial art and from whom?
Xiao Tian must have learned from Baoyu first, and every day when he saw him evolve swordsmanship, he would naturally try to imitate it in his cultivation. The second and more important thing is, of course, to learn from the old man who chops wood. The old man could kill someone with a cough, and Baoyu felt shocked at the time, mainly because the old man's methods were too clever.
And Xiaotian's idea of this dog is very simple, it is to imitate Baoyu, try to evolve its own magical spells, and at the same time practice Wuding Gong to the extreme realm beyond the two realms and nine turns. Xiao Tian was able to cultivate martial arts and possess this skill, Baoyu was not surprised, its improvement speed was faster than Hanxiong, but it learned this trick, obviously related to its natural supernatural powers.
Xiao Tian's cough, of course, is far worse than the old man's, and the frontal fighting method is difficult to kill Yisun and the others, but if it is used for sneak attacks, it is also very strange and difficult to prevent.
After a long time, Baoyu spoke: "You have the talent to roar supernatural powers, and you can impact people's form and gods. In the past, in the fighting method, you were all caught off guard and shocked so that people were in a trance. Now that he has practiced Wu Ding Gong, he has turned the strength of Wu Ding Gong into a roar, and evolved this invisible sword intent. ...... It seems that the old man we met that day should be a powerful demon king, whose talent and supernatural powers are similar to yours, so he can use such strange and sharp methods!"
