Chapter 4: The Way of Inscriptions
In the east of the mountain behind the sect, the residence of the sect master, at this moment, the moon and stars are scarce, and everything is silent, leaving only the sound of the sea tide lapping.
A towering giant tree that can only be embraced by dozens of people rises from the ground, intertwined roots, and even more branches, winding up to the sky.
As far as the eye can see, huge wooden houses like huge fruits hang from the branches, all of which are pierced by the thick trunks. If you are in the middle of it, you can find that these tree trunks are actually hollow inside, like a passage connecting these wooden houses and caves.
Only the giant cave at the top of the giant tree has no branches connected to it, and it hangs high in the sky like the stars and the moon.
Compared with other caves, this cave is not only huge in size, with a difference of about five or six times, but also a whole body of turquoise, engraved with countless dense obscure runes, which continue to flicker, making the aura of heaven and earth all flow and converge here. What's more different is that there is a huge stone gate with a height of three zhang in the south of the cave, and the top of the stone gate is engraved with eight big characters of dragon flying and phoenix dancing.
The east is adjacent to the Jieshi to view the sea.
It's just that the huge stone door is tightly closed, and it is covered with a thick layer of dust, and it is obvious that no one has been in or out of it for a long time.
Under the huge cave, in a medium-sized wooden house next to it, the water vapor is filled at the moment, exuding a calming fragrance.
In the main room in the middle of the wooden house, the carved beams and paintings are antique, and the night pearls are inlaid on the wooden wall, like stars, reflecting a warm and bright light.
Zhao Shenbi was immersed in a huge wooden barrel in the center of the main room at this moment, his eyes were closed, his whole body was naked, and he couldn't wake up.
Inside the wooden barrel, there was a bucket full of pale cyan liquid, which was boiling slightly at the moment, the hot gas was rolling, and there were even wisps of green qi that drilled into Zhao Shenbi's skin, and many wounds on his body surface were slowly healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
If you observe the meridians in Zhao Shenbi's body with internal vision, you can find that these faint green qi pouring into it slowly blends into the meridians, mending the broken places and imperceptible dark wounds little by little.
Zhao Shenbi was in chaos at the moment in the sea of knowledge, and he felt as if he was in a distant space, unable to break free or think, as if he was wrapped in a thick layer of darkness.
Gradually, a glimmer of light emerged through the darkness, and then he heard the sound of boiling and tumbling water, and even smelled a refreshing aroma, and his soul gradually came to his senses and slowly opened his eyes.
"This ...... This is...... How did you get back into the cave...... Am I in a coma......" Zhao Shenbi shook his somewhat heavy head and muttered.
"Brother Shen Bi, are you awake?" In the side room on the side, a girl's delicate voice came at this moment.
Before Zhao Shenbi could figure out what was going on, he saw Li Yujue walking over in a light red tulle robe, shrouded in hazy moisture, his clothes were slightly soaked, and his delicate body and slender legs loomed.
Zhao Shenbi couldn't help but be stunned when he saw it, he was a little distracted, but in a moment, his face turned red, he screamed, and sank into the barrel, revealing only one head on the water, which was very funny.
"You, you...... Don't come here!" Zhao Shenbi's face turned red and hurriedly shouted.
Li Yujue was stunned for a moment, and was even more amused by his appearance, and stopped as if he had realized it, and laughed softly: "Okay, okay, I won't come." Looking at you like this, it makes me feel like I'm going to eat you!"
Seeing that Li Yujue really didn't go any further, Zhao Shenbi slowly raised his head slightly, and muttered, "I...... How did I get back to the cave...... It is still soaked in wooden barrels...... I have ...... on me What's going on with the clothes on your body......"
When Li Yujue heard this, her beautiful eyes widened, and she said with a natural expression: "What's the matter? Of course, when I saw that you were seriously injured and unconscious, I carried you back and took off your clothes for you, soak your body with diluted spiritual fluid, and heal your injuries!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Shenbi only felt that the sky suddenly swirled, as if he had been hit on the head, even the roots of his ears were burned red, his eyes widened, and he opened his mouth and said in a panic: "Ah! Senior Sister Yujue, you! I! This ...... How is this ......?"
Seeing this, Li Yujue couldn't help but laugh for a while, and only stopped after a while, and explained: "Lie to you, stupid, it's Shi Kun!"
Seeing that Zhao Shenbi didn't react, Li Yujue paused and continued: "It was Shi Kun who carried you back!"
"After you fainted in the morning, it happened that Shi Kun, this kid, came to the practice ground, so I asked him to carry you back, and then took some spiritual liquid given by the master, diluted and blended other medicinal materials, and then asked him to help you clean the wounds on your clothes and soak you in it. ”
When Zhao Shenbi heard this explanation, he felt at ease, and asked suspiciously: "Really...... Really?"
Li Yujue frowned, and said angrily: "Believe it or not!"
"And, don't you really think I don't understand the difference between men and women, and I'm ashamed! I don't believe it, wait for Shi Kun to come, you can ask him yourself!"
Seeing Li Yujue's angry look, Zhao Shenbi's head was big for a while, and he hurriedly said loudly: "Believe in it, believe it, if you say something from your junior sister, I will naturally believe it!"
After a little thought, Zhao Shenbi's memory and thinking became coherent.
As soon as he thought of what happened to Fang Cai, he was carried away by the bloody aura that emerged in the dantian, and let a bloodthirsty killing impulse occupy his mind, and he was almost about to hit or even kill Sun Jian, Zhao Shenbi still couldn't help but be terrified for a while.
"I didn't expect this to be a backlash...... It's been so terrifying...... And also...... What's going on with that mysterious aura?" Zhao Shenbi muttered in his heart.
If it weren't for the mysterious and vast aura that inexplicably emerged in the sea of consciousness at the last critical moment, diluting the bloody aura, I am afraid that it would have been a big mistake today.
It's just that no matter how Zhao Shenbi thinks, Ren doesn't have a clue. This mysterious aura, which I have never noticed in the past sixteen years, is as pure and vast as the starry sky, and the vast aura, at this moment, in retrospect, has a sense of familiarity and closeness that comes from nowhere.
"Brother Shen Bi, why were you able to resist Sun Jian's two low-level spiritual techniques this morning and be unscathed? Also, what happened to the power you burst out at the end?" Li Yujue stretched out his hand to drag his delicate chin and suddenly asked.
When asked like this, Zhao Shenbi didn't know how to say it. The matter of the bloody aura in his body has always been known only to himself and his father, that is, the sect master of the Donglin Sect, Li Yujue and Shi Kun's master Zhao Xiuyun.
"Alas...... It's a long story...... Actually, I don't know what's going on, so I'll explain it to you when I have the right opportunity. Zhao Shenbi hesitated for a moment, but finally failed to give a clear statement.
When Li Yujue heard this, he blinked his eyes and said, "Okay, then I won't ask any more, as long as you're okay." ”
There was a soft push on the door, and a young man in a black robe walked in.
The young man's face is simple, his square face is thick eyebrows, full of perseverance, coupled with the tiger's back and bear's waist, his body is abnormally strong, and he looks very majestic.
The black-clothed young man held the clothes that Zhao Shenbi had changed before, and said gently: "Senior Brother Shenbi, this is the clothes you changed out of before, Senior Sister Yujue helped you wash them before, and they are already dry now, hurry up and change them." ”
As soon as he heard that his clothes were cleaned by Li Yujue, Zhao Shenbi couldn't help but blush, bowing his head and saying nothing. Li Yujue's eyes turned even more beautifully, glanced at the young man in black, and turned around and walked towards the side room.
Seeing Li Yujue turn around and leave, Zhao Shenbi stood up and turned out of the bucket in one step, revealing a wheat-colored body. I saw that his body was long, slightly thin, and his body was full of a clean and clear temperament, but because he couldn't practice, he had to polish his body like a martial artist for a long time, and the lines were clear and the muscles were obvious.
After Zhao Shenbi finished dressing, Shi Kun hurriedly smiled with excitement on his face: "Senior Brother Shenbi, I've heard it all! This morning, you beat Sun Jian's fat fart with just one fist and kick, it's amazing!"
When Zhao Shenbi heard this, he smiled helplessly and said, "Shi Kun, no matter how powerful I am, I can't compare with you." You kid, you are already very talented, and you practice my father's three-grade exercise "Dragon and Tiger Heart Sutra", which is already in the middle of the Kaifu realm, but I'm afraid that if I fight with you, I won't be able to hold even a round. ”
When Shi Kun heard this, he smiled a little embarrassedly: "Look at what you said, if you can't urge spiritual power, I am not your opponent, Senior Brother Zhao!"
"Two sycophants, don't flatter each other there. Li Yujue heard such "brazen" words from the two, and immediately couldn't help laughing, and walked out of the side room and scolded with a smile, "If you have kung fu to brag about here, it's better to go back and rest early, recuperate, and go to the Enlightenment Cliff tomorrow morning to occupy a good position, and listen to Elder Fang's inscription sermon once a month." ”
"Hehe, Senior Sister Yujue, I won't go, I don't know anything about it since I was a child, my understanding is extremely poor, and it's in vain to go. However, Senior Brother Shen Bi, who was extremely talented back then, was very valued by Elder Fang, and now he has not been there for many years, which makes Elder Fang regret it for a long time. As soon as he heard the word inscription, Shi Kun suddenly felt a big head, so he was afraid that he would not be able to avoid it, so he hurriedly said "Disaster water moves eastward".
"Forget it, I haven't opened the mansion yet, and even if I still understand the essence of the inscription, I don't have the means to use it. Zhao Shenbi spread his hands and said with a smile.
There are three thousand avenues, each with its own strengths, except for the practice itself, everything in this world has its own method, among which the three ways of alchemy, forging and inscription are the most long-standing.
Many of the various avenues can not only assist in cultivation and break through the realm, but also improve combat power and enrich means, and even take this as the foundation of cultivation and "join the way" with it.
Legend has it that in the Nanhai Guanyin Sect, it is the art of practicing alchemy, and the monks in the sect are all based on this, and they are crazy about pills, and their sect master "Qingyun Master" is to be a furnace, refining a "medicine pill" in the body to replace the monk Jin Dan, and successfully stepped into the realm of the elixir, becoming the stream of the land immortals.
The art of inscription is faintly at the top of the three thousand avenues, involving many methods such as formations, talismans, prohibitions and strengthening magic weapons, and its core is to attract the resonance of heaven and earth by inscribed innate dao patterns, so as to produce a variety of extraordinary effects.
However, the threshold for the way of inscription is extremely high, and if you want to become an inscription master in the cultivation realm, you must not only have an extremely strong innate soul and be able to distract yourself, but also have a very delicate and keen soul perception. This alone has turned nine out of ten monks.
In addition, the art of inscription requires a lot of practice and comprehension, so it takes a lot of materials and expenses to afford the growth of an inscriptionist.
When Zhao Shenbi was young, on the way to cultivation, he was already regarded as the pride of heaven by the whole sect, in addition, for the inscription, in a lecture defense, the elder Fang Che, who was already a half-step spirit pattern master, was greatly appreciated, and he hated to accept him as a closed disciple and taught him.
Later, when Zhao Shenbi was seven years old, he was able to separate the wandering gods out of his body, perceive the aura of heaven and earth, and carved an inscription of "gathering qi" without a teacher, which made all the tattoo masters in the inscription hall of Donglin Sect dumbfounded, and felt that he had lived to a dog at a young age.
It's just that the good times didn't last long, and the sky was jealous of the talents, but Zhao Shenbi suffered a great change when he was eight years old, and under the damage of the dantian, he was disheartened, so he no longer studied the art of inscriptions. For so many years, he has been bent on solving the problem of dantian, and he has no time to study this way, and now, it has been abandoned for eight years.
Seeing that Zhao Shenbi's expression was a little gloomy, Li Yujue's beautiful eyes turned around, and with an idea, he immediately pulled Zhao Shenbi's big sleeve, bit his lips lightly and said, "Brother Shenbi, just accompany me to take a trip and relax." Moreover, Elder Fang said, you are a rare genius in the inscription, although you can't practice for the time being, it is also very beneficial to learn more inscription techniques and keep them in mind. ”
"Moreover, it is a matter of time before the opening of the mansion gathers qi, and the master will go to the South China Sea to visit the immortals this time, and there will definitely be a way to solve the obstacle of your dantian when he comes back. Why, could it be that Brother Shen Bi keeps saying that he wants to strive for self-improvement, but deep down, he can't believe that he can come to the best of his life and practice with us?"
Hearing Li Yujue say this, Zhao Shenbi was slightly stunned, he couldn't find any words to refute, and deep in his heart, he also secretly moved, if he could regain the art of inscriptions and comprehend the patterns of heaven and earth, maybe he could touch the bypass and help him solve the hidden dangers of the dantian.
As far as the heart goes, the light quietly circulates in Zhao Shenbi's eyes, even Zhao Shenbi and the two people around him can't notice it, if the inscription master perceives it with a divine soul, it must be seen that those rays of light have faintly converged into a pattern, solemn and ancient.
With his mind decided, Zhao Shenbi stopped squirming and laughed loudly: "Okay! Tomorrow, I will go to the Enlightenment Cliff with my senior sister and listen to Elder Fang's preaching!"
At this moment, Zhao Shenbi, Tsing Yi was light, and an invisible momentum seemed to be re-revealed, sweeping away the previous decadent atmosphere.
Li Yujue and Shi Kun invariably had a premonition that the amazing Senior Brother Zhao was about to come back.
In a distant starry sky, countless broken stars were scattered in all directions, suspended uncertainly, dissipating a faint light, making the vast starry field of darkness and silence also slightly illuminated.
In the dense and chaotic layer of meteorites, there was a piece of jade about the size of a palm, and the dark lines on the body were criss-crossed, almost shattered.
However, this jade bi exuded a suffocating and terrifying aura, causing the countless meteorites that shuttled here to turn into powder when they approached.
The light on it flickered and extinguished slowly, like breathing, and each time it flickered, the starry sky shook slightly, and then an invisible air flow poured into it, causing the cracks on the jade to heal at an extremely slow rate.
The starry sky was silent, as if there was no concept of time, or it was too long to be measured by time. I don't know how long it took, this jade bi trembled, and its surface actually began to melt, from the inside to the outside, and in the blink of an eye, it shrank sharply, and in less than a moment, only a crystal clear ice blue jade was left.
This jade jade is extremely small, only about a quarter of its size, but it vaguely reveals a bit of spirituality, and exudes a more powerful and vast aura, like the starry sky itself.
As soon as Baoyu solidified and formed, as if she had a spiritual intelligence, she looked around slightly, and then fell silent again. However, after a few breaths, a burst of brilliant starlight suddenly emanated from its body, flying straight away in the starry sky, and countless broken stars and dense meteorites along the way fell apart under its collision.
As it continued to fly, the terrifying speed continued to rise, but the starlight on its body gradually dimmed, and its power continued to fade and drain.
However, Baoyu ignored it, and seemed to have calculated correctly, and the power it released was enough to support it to reach the place where it went.
If a great supernatural monk looked at the starry sky, he could see that this jade was like a blue comet, cutting through the endless vacuum and flying straight towards the stable interface.
It is the direction in which the mountain and sea realm is located.
