Chapter 54: The Past
In the evening, Xue Qian hosted a banquet for everyone in the county mansion. Everyone was a little tired after a long day's journey, and after the dinner, everyone went to rest.
In the dead of night, a dark shadow flew out of the mansion of the county and went straight to the city gate. But the black shadow did not go out of the city gate, but flew directly over the ten-zhang high city wall, and disappeared into the night outside the city.
After the black shadow left the city, he ran wildly all the way and stopped at a mountain, it was Master Miaosheng.
The crescent moon is like a hook, and the faint light reflects a cross-legged figure on the top of the mountain.
Master Miao Sheng flew towards the top of the mountain, and as soon as he reached the mountainside, several boulders flew over, seemingly flying in the air, but they would not collide with each other, and coincidentally blocked Master Miao Sheng's way.
Master Miao Sheng's body is exquisite, dodging left and right in the flying rocks, and continues to advance to the top of the mountain.
There were more and more flying rocks, and Master Miao Sheng felt that there was no way to avoid it. She took out a yellow talisman in her left hand, shook it slightly, and the yellow talisman instantly ignited and flew out, while her right hand took out a whisk and swept towards the yellow talisman. The faint flame on the yellow talisman was swept away by the dust, and it instantly swelled into a raging fire, forming a circle of fire around Master Miao Sheng.
Master Miao Sheng took the dust and swept around, and shouted softly: "Break!" The circle of fire immediately expanded, spreading out in all directions, and the flying stones around her instantly burst apart when they touched the firelight, turning into dust and sand and falling.
After a while, the flying rocks fell and the fire disappeared.
Master Miao Sheng flew up the hill and landed in front of the seated man.
Sitting on the top of the mountain is a Taoist priest who is more than half a hundred years old, his eyes are closed at the moment, his hair and beard are fluttering in the mountain wind, and he looks like a fairy wind and bones.
"You just don't fall behind?" Master Miao Sheng asked, looking at the Taoist priest.
The Taoist priest slowly opened his eyes, looked at Master Miaosheng with a smile and said, "It's the poor Dao!"
Bu Buluo looks charitable, not at all like a murderous demon.
"A cultivator actually kills innocents indiscriminately, sucks people's essence and blood to cultivate evil skills, are you worthy of the Taoist robe on your body?" Master Miao Sheng rebuked angrily.
"How do you know that I am cultivating evil skills?" Bu Buluo asked with a smile as he looked at Master Miaosheng.
"Quenching the Yang Spirit Knife, slaughtering the city with one sword!" Master Miao Sheng said, "A cultivator must use the essence blood of a person with a pure Yang Destiny as a guide, go through the tenth order, and kill a thousand people before he can succeed." ”
"There are very few people in the world who know this exercise, and Taoist friends can be regarded as Taoist masters. Bu Buluo said, "Since fellow Daoists know that I am cultivating evil skills and can deduce my hiding place, why don't you bring officers and soldiers to arrest me? Are you confident that you can catch me with your own strength?"
"Being able to cultivate such exercises, your Taoism is naturally not weak, I just don't want those officers and soldiers to die in vain at your hands. Master Miao Sheng said.
In fact, Master Miao Sheng had long known that Bu Buluo had absorbed the essence blood of eight pure yang life people, and he would definitely find a place to refine the meridians overnight. And outside of this Qianjun county, this mountain is the best place to cultivate.
Of course, Master Miao Sheng also had a consideration, that is, he couldn't let the Six Princes take this risk. As for those guards who practiced martial arts, they couldn't help much, and they were not familiar with Taoist exercises, so it was very likely that they wouldn't even be able to get past the stone formations on the mountainside.
"Daoyou misunderstood, I am not killing innocent people indiscriminately. Bu Buluo looked up at Master Miao Sheng and said, "As for absorbing the essence and blood of these pure Yang Destiny people, it is also because they have to practice the exercises. ”
Bu Buluo's rhetoric seems to Master Miao Sheng to be a ridiculous defense of self-contradiction. She was not in a hurry to do it because she still had a question, so she continued: "As far as I know, although the Quenching Yang Spirit Knife has the power to destroy the city, it can only be used once. Because it will deplete all the user's essence blood, and once you use this skill, you will be killed on the spot. Therefore, practicing this exercise is no different from suicide, and even Taoists rarely try it. ”
"Fellow Daoists want to know why I want to practice this exercise?" Bu Buluo said and slowly stood up.
"That's right, I want to know, why do you practice this kind of exercise that harms others and yourself?" said Master Miao Sheng.
Bu Buluo looked at the crescent moon in the west and said, "Why don't you ask, why did the ancestors of Taoism create this kind of exercise?"
This question asked Master Miaosheng, and he didn't know how to answer it for a while.
Bu Buluo smiled and continued to ask: "Poor Dao's life is not worth mentioning, but if you kill a thousand people and destroy a city, can you save the entire Huaguo, is it worth it?"
"Huaguo is a peaceful and prosperous world, why do you need to sacrifice your life to save it?" Master Miao Sheng said contemptuously, thinking that Bu Buluo was making excuses.
"In the prosperous times, there is not without crisis. And this crisis is not only related to Huaguo, but also to the entire human race. Bu Buluo said.
Master Miao Sheng thought for a moment and guessed, "Are you talking about the Terran plague that appears once in hundreds of years?"
Bu Buluo smiled bitterly and said, "On the surface, it is a plague, but in fact, it is not. ”
"What's that?" asked Master Miao Sheng.
"If you're not in a hurry to do something with me, then I'll talk about the past first. Bu Buluo looked at Master Miaosheng and said.
Master Miao Sheng nodded and said, "Listen up!"
"Daoyou must know about the great war between man and demon five thousand years ago. Bu Buluo glanced at Master Miao Sheng and said, "The Demon Race was originally a small race, but then it slowly grew stronger, swallowing up many other races, and finally targeted the most powerful human race. ”
"Although there are many warriors in the human race, the magic methods of the demon race are fantastic and treacherous, and the warriors of the human race cannot find a way to crack it, and they are defeated and retreated, with heavy casualties. The Taoist ancestor Ku Wuyan believed that the human race exercises were restrained by the demon exercises everywhere, and it was necessary to create a kind of exercise to restrain the demons in order to turn the tide of the war. He spent ten years researching and trying, and finally created the technique of Quenching Yang Spirit Knife. ”
"You mean, the Quenching Yang Spirit Knife was originally used to deal with the Demon Clan?" Master Miao Sheng asked with some surprise.
"That's right. Bu Buluo said, "Ku Wuya has twelve disciples, and he led eleven of them to kill tens of thousands of people in the Pure Yang Destiny Sect, and they practiced the Quenching Yang Spirit Sword together. Then, the twelve people who practiced this exercise went to the twelve main cities of the demon race, one person and one knife, and slaughtered the main city of the demon race. Since then, the demons have been completely defeated, and the Terran warriors have taken the opportunity to fight back and slaughter the remnants of the demons. ”
"If what you said is true, why is there no record of such a major event in the history of the human race?" asked Master Miao Sheng with some skepticism.
"When Ku Wuya led his disciples to practice this skill, he brutally killed many of his fellow Terrans, and the Terran sages believed that he and his disciples had been controlled by the demons, and listed them as enemies of the entire Terran race. Bu Buluo said, "Although I later knew that Ku Wuya's cultivation of this skill was to destroy the demon race, his approach was never recognized by the wise men of the human race. Moreover, after destroying the main city of the demon race, Ku Wuya and his eleven disciples ran out of essence blood and died, and outsiders did not know how the demon race was destroyed, thinking that it was the wise man of the human race who used his tricks to win. Then, this matter was erased from history by the Terran sages. ”
