Chapter 8: The Ancient Cave
It's June now, and there are only two months left before the August martial arts competition, and everyone is desperately practicing various exercises, and those who have broken through are familiar with the new attack method. www.biquge.info Only Zhang Tianyou was taken to Houshan by his father-in-law, saying that he was in retreat and practiced alone.
Zhang Tianyou followed his father-in-law to drill around the deep water stream in the back mountain.
The canyon here is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, like a gourd that has been split into a crack, if it were not for this crack, Zhang Tianyou really suspected that he was walking in a sewer.
The water and grass here are unusually thick, and countless green vines hang down on them, obscuring the sky and the sun, and later, the light gradually dims, the air becomes damp and dreary, and the waterway becomes narrower and narrower.
I don't know how long I walked, Zhang Yaozuo took his son's hand and said, "This is where I arrived." Zhang Tianyou followed his father-in-law's gaze, and saw a black stone wall in front of him, and he didn't see anything on it except for green vines.
Zhang Yaozuo stepped forward to pull away the green vines, pulled on the stone wall, and actually opened a hole. The entrance to the cave is blocked by a large stone in a square direction, and with the cover of green vines, the light is dim, and it is difficult to find at all.
I only heard Zhang Yaozuo say: "This is the mysterious cave that your grandfather discovered back then, your grandfather chased a rare black python, chased for three days and three nights, the black python was desperate and got into this hole, and your grandfather was able to discover this secret," After speaking, Zhang Yaozuo pulled Zhang Tianyou and walked in.
The stone cave was just able to allow two people to pass side by side, and it was about a thousand zhang away, and the front suddenly opened up, and a wide cave appeared, Zhang Yaozuo took out a piece of spiritual jade, and entered the yuan force to make it glow.
Zhang Tianyou took a closer look at the cave by the light, and it was estimated that there were about a dozen of his own houses, and the surrounding stone walls were full of water stains, and water droplets fell from the top of the cave from time to time, and the ground was very flat. Zhang Tianyou looked at it and said to his father-in-law in surprise: "This hole seems to be dug out by hand."
"Yes and no, to be exact, it was excavated using natural caves. Zhang Yaozuo replied, and then took Zhang Tianyou to the end of the cave, knelt down and pointed to a small cave on the stone wall and said, "This is your grandfather's tomb, and that is your grandfather's tomb." ”
When Zhang Tianyou heard this, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed a few times. Zhang Yaozuo's expression was gloomy, and he muttered in his mouth: "No, the descendant Zhang Yaozuo and his son Tianyou kowtow to ...... grandfather and father." Zhang Tianyou listened, the front was to tell the recent situation of the sect, and the back was some greetings.
After a long time, Zhang Yaozuo finished worshipping. Then he turned to look at his son and said, "Son, forget what you see below except for this hole, and don't mention it to anyone except me!"
Zhang Tianyou saw that his father-in-law looked awe-inspiring, and said again and again: "Father, don't worry, I won't say anything about killing me."
Zhang Yaozuo nodded slightly, took his hand and walked to a stone wall, and said to Zhang Tianyou: "Look at what's on it."
Zhang Tianyou walked into the stone wall to take a look, and found that this stone wall is smooth and smooth, more deep than other walls, like a mirror in the deep stone wall, the stone wall is carved with small characters, each word is a few inches deep, the font is ancient, Zhang Tianyou has learned ancient characters from his father since he was a child, but he also recognizes a lot, only to see that it is written:
It's time, and it's dark outside. They are gone, it's so dangerous, the master died in battle to save us, Senior Brother Zhao and Senior Brother Ma were injured, but they finally came back, Senior Brother Ling and Senior Brother Zhou were separated from everyone, it seems that there is more luck and less luck...
I haven't been outside for many days, Senior Brother Zhao is dead, and Senior Brother Ma is dying. The healing elixir is running out, what should I do, those guys must be searching for us, going out and going to a dead end.
There was a Dao Divine Sense swept just now, if it weren't for Senior Brother Ma's desperate consumption of spiritual power to exert a restraint on me, we would definitely be discovered. But Senior Brother Ma also went, and I was the only one left. Wait, why didn't Senior Brother Ma be discovered, I understand: Senior Brother Ma died at the same time as he performed the Suppressive Decision, that divine sense was powerful, cold, and extremely ferocious, no wonder it was the orthodox royal bloodline, it must be! The last time I raided them with my master, there seemed to be a few purple-haired guys with purple eyes in the distance.
It's snowing outside, and the spirit stones are running out, so I can't cultivate. No one has ever been here in this sect except me, and those guys haven't left yet, so it seems that the rest of our sect may not be there, and I'm the only one left.
The outside is full of gray and filthy air, they are cultivating monsters, the aura here is getting thinner and thinner, when I was digging a stone cave, I accidentally found a crack underneath, and I don't know what it is inside.
It's so cold, I'm seriously injured, it's such a powerful extreme ice attack, I almost can't come back, I can't figure it out, how can there be that guy below, that thing hasn't been extinct a long time ago, there are enemies on it, and there are murderous things below, is it that the sky wants to destroy me too much of the infinite gate.
I can't do it anymore, I'm going to find my master and brothers, I really miss them, but the master said that even death can't make my sect lose its inheritance, I'm just a true disciple who has just started, and the Taoism I have cultivated is less than one-ten-thousandth of the master, so I can only do my best. Here's what I've learned...... Nangong He, a disciple of Taishang Wuji Gate. This Nangong He mentioned that some exercises require spiritual roots to be cultivated, and they cannot be forced, hoping that those who are destined will pass on the Taoist system.
Zhang Tianyou saw that the general outline of the Dao Law was exactly what his father told him, and the other Southern Crane faction meritorious decisions, Taigong and Grandpa all changed their names, such as the Crane Singing Heaven and Earth Decision, which was originally called the Taishang Divine Decision, and the White Crane Four Divine Formulas were originally called Wuji Taishang Four Divine Decisions, etc., what made him interested was the last set of sword duels, and this sword technique only had four styles: into the static style, into the dynamic style, into the silence style, and into the extinction style. Nangong's predecessors only mentioned the true meaning of the Fa Decision, and he never learned how to use it.
Zhang Yaozuo's expression was slightly sad, his left hand brushed these ancient words, and recalled: When your grandfather found these ancient words, he cried with joy, thinking that it was God's favor, supreme creation, and spent his life's time and energy on it, and finally stopped at the innate peak and could not break through, until he died thinking that his understanding was not good, the spiritual root is understanding, your grandfather was even more crazy, and finally went crazy, and finally went crazy, I also indulged in these ancient decisions for many years, wasted a lot of time, but never understood, I have thought countless times what is the spiritual root? Later, when you were rescued, I felt very fond of you at a glance, and I was very attached to you, and now it seems that you are the spiritual root, and the spiritual root is the embodiment of the Tao, so you can be self-taught. ”
After listening to it and thinking for a moment, Zhang Tianyou couldn't help but sigh and sigh, I see. He turned around and asked his relatives, "Do they have any relics, and what are their bones?"
Zhang Yaozuo pointed to a stone cave in the distance, and then pointed to the ground and said: "It's been too long, their remains and clothes have turned into powder, just in the stone cave, they left a total of two, one is at your feet, the other is a robe to wear on me, and ......" Speaking of this, Zhang Yaozuo wanted to speak again but stopped but didn't say anything after all.
After listening to this, Zhang Tianyou looked down and saw that there was a long thing like a sword at the root of the stone wall, black and not slippery, about seven feet long, as wide as two palms, the sword spine and the body of the sword were flat and round, like a thickened round flat shoulder, the hilt was slightly longer about two feet, and the sword was very similar to the shape of two white crane heads nestled side by side.
He looked at it and thought it looked familiar, "Hey, isn't this a big crane's beak?" ”
Zhang Yaozuo smiled and said: "I thought so when I saw it for the first time, you can take it and try it."
Zhang Tianyou was stunned when he heard this, could it be that this thing was weird. stepped forward and mentioned it with his hand, but didn't move...... , and it hasn't been touched again...... , Zhang Tianyou was taken aback, he was already a yuan-level master, and the power of this mention was no less than 10,000 catties, what did this thing do so heavy.
Zhang Yaozuo seemed to have been like this for a long time, and sighed lightly: "Before, your grandfather didn't know how many times he had tried and used countless methods, but he couldn't move it in the end, he thought that as long as he broke through the yuan level, he could take it, I had already tried it when I first broke through, and I couldn't take it."
Zhang Tianyou took a closer look at the four dissimilarities and found that there were four words on the sword body: Taishang Divine Needle. "What a arrogant, good name" Zhang Tianyou said in his heart: "These leftover items are not simple, and it is estimated that they were also a magic weapon in that era." I don't know how many thousand years have passed, everything else has turned to ashes, but this divine needle and the Taoist robe worn by my father have not been damaged at all.
Zhang Tianyou suddenly felt a little puzzled, and said to his father-in-law: "This divine needle sword is so heavy, how can the ground be intact." ”
Zhang Yaozuo smiled mysteriously and replied, "You click on it to see." ”
Zhang Tianyou used Yuan Li to click hard, and the ground did not move. I couldn't help but be surprised, and I pointed to it on all sides. I was shocked in my heart: "I used the crane nodding sword technique to condense the Yuan Force of my whole body at one point, like a sharp 10,000-pound giant hammer smashed on it, but it couldn't leave a trace." "What kind of man-made cave is this! Nangong's predecessor seems to say that his master temporarily created it with mana, what kind of magical power is this!
No matter how Zhang Tianyou tossed, the Divine Needle Sword just didn't move. Zhang Tianyou felt impetuous, his thoughts were chaotic, and he was circling there, not knowing what to do. When I looked up, I accidentally saw a line of ancient characters, which was the Taoist practice left by Nangong's predecessors: the Tao lies in cultivating the essence, qi, and spirit in the body, and the form is ...... Looking at it, Zhang Tianyou sat down slowly, and gradually focused on it, and calmed down. At first, I could still feel Zhang Yaozuo's concerned expression and the speed, thickness, depth, length and surrounding things of his breathing, but after hearing it, his heart gradually fell in love with each other, and his distracting thoughts disappeared unconsciously, and even his breath seemed to be non-existent, and he gradually reached a state of silence.
Zhang Tianyou Tianyou has been sitting for three days.
During this period, Zhang Yaozuo looked at him many times, except for what he could see with his eyes, Zhang Yaozuo couldn't feel his breathing, heartbeat and everything. It seems that when he turned around, his son was not here at all, and when he turned around, he was still sitting there. This feeling made Zhang Yaozuo feel uncomfortable, thinking back to his son's various peculiarities, thinking about it, and suddenly woke up: "Too persistent and too concerned, it is better to put aside everything and go with the flow, the sky changes and let him change, the earth moves with it, and everything is normal to move and be still, this is the above said law is natural, and the Tao is impermanence and impermanence." What Tianyou said before seemed to understand or not, but at this moment it was extremely clear and clear, and Zhang Yaozuo also slowly sat down and fell into the Dao of Understanding.
Zhang Tianyou woke up, a few days of meditation, let him realize the true Tao, before it was a beginner, today is the hall, the mystery is difficult to describe, I understand in my heart, many need to be slowly confirmed in the future.
When he looked up and saw his father-in-law's concerned eyes, he couldn't help but be moved in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Father, I've been sitting for a few days, are you in a hurry?" Zhang Yaozuo smiled: "Seven days, seven whole days." Zhang Tianyou saw that his father-in-law's body was faintly shining and floating, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Father, you seem to have improved a lot of Yuanli." Zhang Yaozuo nodded and replied: "Son, you look very different now than before, and now you are more like the Taoist mentioned by Nangong's predecessors, can you pick up that thing now." Zhang Tianyou rubbed his hands and said, "I'll try again," and after speaking, he stepped forward and gently lifted it up.
"Hey, how can it be so light this time, it turns out that the spirit is one, the essence, the Qi, the god, the four gods are one, and the four gods can be lifted lightly, it's really a bit complicated, my father will show you this magic needle sword. ”
Zhang Tianyou finally got this magic weapon, he was too happy, and handed the sword to his father-in-law, Zhang Yaozuo's face changed when he heard this, and he hurriedly dodged, but Zhang Tianyou had already realized the true meaning of Taoist movement, and handed it over casually, it was really moving like a rabbit, as fast as thunder and lightning.
I only listened to the two sounds of "poof" and "oops", followed by the scolding of my father-in-law: "Stinky boy, you want to crush your father!"
