014. Faith and Protection
"Eh, where do I sleep tonight?" It was estimated that at eight or nine o'clock, Wang Xuewu stopped Chen Mingxuan, who was about to leave.
Chen Mingxuan turned his head and pointed to the simple bed: "Here." β
"??? here"
"Or else?"
Wang Xuewu hurriedly said: "No, where do you sleep tonight, I'll be with you." β
"You just sleep here, I'm not used to sleeping with other people." Chen Mingxuan frowned.
"No, you're going to let me sleep here?" Wang Xuewu pointed to the inside of the cave, "Two tigers!" β
Chen Mingxuan smiled: "They won't eat you." β
Wang Xuewu hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, I don't believe it!" I've been to the desert and the rainforest all these years without frowning, but you're telling me to sleep in a tiger's den? No, no, no! β
Chen Mingxuan will enter Zhen Yuanzhu to rest when he is outside, Zhen Yuanzhu is his personal space, his own private space, and others are not allowed to enter, nor can they be known by others!
However, it is true that he wants to have a place to sleep and rest, but Wang Xuewu is still in the tiger's den!
"They are spiritual and won't eat you."
"No, the key is not this, I'm afraid!" Wang Xuewu said, "I'd better go to the place where you live, lay on the floor, and sleep outside the house." The main thing is not here, the tiger's den! You don't know, you just left, and I'm here by myself and I keep looking at the cave behind me, I'm afraid that the tiger will come out and eat me. β
Chen Mingxuan smiled: "They didn't come out to eat you, did they?" β
Wang Xuewu hurriedly said: "No...... Otherwise, if you have a tent or something, borrow me a flashlight or something, and I can leave here, I really can't spend the night here. β
Chen Mingxuan said: "In that case, I'll rest here tonight." β
"No, you really don't have a tent, do you? - Ah, you're here, okay. β
Wang Xuewu tried to ask again: "But, should I go?" β
Chen Mingxuan said: "The upper part of your leg is not good, and there are many injuries on your body, so I will rest here tonight." β
Wang Xuewu scratched his head: "Then you sleep on the bed, and I will sit on the chair for a while." β
Chen Mingxuan walked inside, found a flat place, put on a coat that he had put in his bag before, and then sat down cross-legged: "I'm here, you sleep on the bed." β
"Ah, why don't you sleep in bed."
"No, you just sleep. If you don't want to turn off the lights, you can keep them on. β
Wang Xuewu said with a smile: "Then don't turn it off, the light is on and it won't affect sleep." β
Chen Mingxuan is already super homely, rarely talks too much with unfamiliar people, and usually stays in his room more, so as soon as he sits down, he starts to run the "Zhenyuan Jue" to cultivate.
Wang Xuewu watched Chen Mingxuan sit cross-legged and cultivate, although he had a lot of things to ask, he was still speechless for a while, so he had to make the whole bed and lie down facing the cave.
He didn't dare to close his eyes, he always felt that this place revealed a kind of weirdness, and he would think of the ghosts in the valley described in the TV movies and books he had watched before, and he couldn't help but shrink his body, and he felt more and more that there were dirty things staring at him in the dark in this cave, and he would come out and devour himself at any time!
Wang Xuewu swallowed his saliva, felt that the cave began to become cold, and also felt that the insect chirping outside the cave began to calm down, and everything began to become deep and weird......
He looked at the battery pack on the table and thought, don't it be long before the battery runs out!
"Ahem!"
Wang Xuewu tried to cough a few times, and then said, "That, Brother Mingxuan." β
After a while, seeing that Chen Mingxuan didn't react, he tried to call softly again: "Brother Mingxuan? β
"Brother Mingxuan? Did you sleep? β
"Brother Mingxuan?"
Chen Mingxuan didn't even open his eyes, but responded lightly: "Well, I heard it, what do you say." β
Wang Xuewu smiled and said, "Brother Mingxuan, let's chat." Where are Brother Mingxuan from? β
"Gourd Valley."
"Gourd Valley? No impression, in which city? β
"Guixi."
"Oh, from Guixi Province." Wang Xuewu obviously felt the other party's coldness.
"Soon you'll know where the gourd valley is."
"Soon?"
"Well, soon." Chen Mingxuan opened his eyes slightly.
Wang Xuewu said: "I am from northern Hebei, I was conscripted into the army when I was in college, and then I was transferred to the Southwest Military Region. β
"Didn't you go back to college?"
"No, I continue to train in the army and do tasks."
"Special forces?"
Wang Xuewu was surprised and asked, "How do you know?" β
"I saw you fighting with that foreign mercenary in the woods, that foreign mercenary entered Huaguo, obviously has unusual military skills, ordinary soldiers should not be able to beat him, and you, actually chased him all the time, and he can't quickly kill you and run away."
Wang Xuewu acquiesced: "Why did you shoot him?" β
"Shouldn't he have been shot?"
Chen Mingxuan thought of the foreign mercenary, and remembered the figure that floated from him after he shot the mercenary!
Is that a ghost?
Chen Mingxuan thought, that should be!
For the first time since he contacted Zhen Yuanjue, he saw the soul of a person, and saw that chaotic phantom slowly dissipating in the final sunset!
In the Zhenyuan Zhu Scripture Pavilion, he had seen a description of ghost cultivation.
Ghost cultivation is actually the conscious cultivation of a deceased person before the soul dissipates, and he obtains an ever-increasing energy body.
However, in reality, the number of ghost cultivators is very small, because after the soul leaves the body, there will be a very chaotic period of time, and then gradually dissipate......
Many souls dissipate between heaven and earth after leaving the body, and only a very small number of souls wake up early, and then consciously protect themselves, and at night they are nourished by the qi of the moon and yin, forming ghosts.
It is clear that this foreign mercenary did not survive the period of chaos and then dissipated between heaven and earth.
"You, have you practiced ancient martial arts?" Wang Xuewu asked.
"Gu Wu?" Chen Mingxuan turned around, his eyes flashing.
Wang Xuewu was stared at a little cold by Chen Mingxuan's eyes, he pointed to the stainless steel sword placed aside, and then pointed to the three big characters "Soul Palace" on the stone wall, and said, "I didn't mean to inquire, but, this ...... I was really curious. β
"In this world, is there really an ancient martial arts?" Chen Mingxuan asked.
"Aren't you?"
"I'm not."
"I've been a special soldier, and I've been on missions no less than 100 times, and I've seen heroes from all over the world, and I've seen all kinds of characters, but it's really useless to see someone more powerful than you."
"Am I amazing?"
Wang Xuewu said: "The sword qi is out of the sheath, and the stone is like mud - Shaolin Temple can't do it, Wudang can't do it, Kunlun faction Tianshan faction can't do it, and the four major families can't do it!" They, I've never heard of them being able to do it, it's just that they're fighting each other, and they do have something unique, but they're just cultivating the inner path. Like you, the sword qi is out of the sheath, it's really useless to see it. I was thinking that if I fought you, then the sword qi would be able to break through the opponent's defenses. β
"Shaolin Wudang, Kunlun Tianshan, and the four major families?"
Wang Xuewu said with a smile: "In fact, it is not only Shaolin Wudang, Kunlun Tianshan, Huaguo martial arts, but also Qingcheng Hengshan and various families. Most of them have martial arts inheritance, but after the rise of hot weapons, after the industrial revolution, the society is impetuous, and there is no amazing art industry before, and most of the sects should be reduced to history. Those who have business acumen will achieve a hegemon, otherwise they will gradually be depressed and disappear into the long river of history. In the army, there is a common understanding that most of the so-called martial arts families can only come out of three or five styles, and they are not as good as the soldiers who fight in the army. β
He continued: "The four major families, in fact, are Dongfang, Nangong, Ximen and Beichen, each occupying the four corners of Huaguo. I don't have much contact with it, but it is said that he does have an amazing art industry. β
Chen Mingxuan said: "So, the boundary of Guixi is the Nangong family's sphere of influence? β
"The Nangong family in Baiyun Mountain in eastern Guangdong has a power that radiates to the southwestern provinces and also affects several countries in Southeast Asia."
Chen Mingxuan didn't speak, and Wang Xuewu said: "Brother Mingxuan, you ...... The Hall of Returning Souls? β
"Soul Palace?"
"Do you want to build a force?"
"Forces?"
"Brother Mingxuan, with your strength, you can indeed dominate one side. I see that your Soul Returning Hall is a pure land in your heart, right? β
Chen Mingxuan was silent for a while, and said quietly: "Yes, it is indeed a pure land in my heart. β
With a move of his hand, the steel sword flew into his hand out of thin air and stood up.
Chen Mingxuan held a steel sword in his hand, as if he was caring for love: "It's not just a pure land, it's also faith." β
He pulled a sword flower, the long sword danced, and the sword light in the cave suddenly was vertical and horizontal, and the light and shadow flashed, only to see Wang Xuewu shocked!
He said: "Returning to the soul, this faith, this faith, has always been dormant in my heart, it has never been lost, it has never fadedβjust like your guardian. β
