Chapter 689: On the Dao and On the Sword
Wu Xie and Bai Jin are not the kind of talents who also practice piano, chess, calligraphy and painting in addition to cultivation, but living long is an advantage. In addition to being good at swordsmanship, Platinum also knows some music and rhythm, and if he goes to the mortal world to hide his cultivation, it is no problem to pretend to be a first-class musician; Wu Xie has some research on painting and calligraphy, and is quite good at singing - provided that he takes a little time to recall, because he is better at singing, and only the popular songs he learned before crossing over.
But before they could start performing, Yang Ziqi, who had been sitting there quietly, seemed to be in a daze, spoke.
"Now that you're making a lot of noise, it's time to get down to business, right?"
His voice was not loud, but it carried a strange coercion, which made everyone present feel a shock in their hearts. All kinds of noise, all kinds of unintentional and intentional noise, all stopped for a while.
There was silence in the huge venue, as if even the sound of a needle falling on the ground could be heard clearly.
Yang Ziqi stood up and swept his gaze over the entire venue. He frowned, and his expression was full of displeasure: "It's right to drink and celebrate, it's okay to be noisy, but you have to be measured in making trouble!" ”
As he spoke, his gaze fell on a very inconspicuous-looking Yang God True Immortal.
"Everyone who comes is a guest, even if there is a person in the Divine Sect who hides his cultivation and pretends to be a true immortal of the Daomen, it is not a big deal. After all, no one has stipulated that people in the Divine Gate are not allowed to come to congratulate. There was a look of mockery in his eyes, and he seemed to be very disdainful, "But after cultivating for so many years, when you make a move, it's such a small trick that is not on the table, don't you feel ashamed?" ”
Everyone was silent, and their eyes were all looking at the true immortal.
Under the gaze of everyone, the true immortal Ha Lu Ha smiled, stood up, waved his sleeves freely, and completely changed his appearance, and the aura on his body also increased suddenly, and in a blink of an eye, he changed from the Yang God True Immortal of the Dao Gate to the Cave Void True Monarch of the God Gate.
"Hehuan Sect color sleeves, meet the ancestor of Huangting!" Saying that, this Divine Gate True Monarch bowed down to Yang Ziqi with an extremely respectful attitude.
The scene of the Daomen True Immortal turning into the Divine Gate True Monarch was amazing enough, but compared to what he said, that small change was nothing. At the moment when he said that, all the people in the audience turned their heads to look at Yang Ziqi, and some of them even turned their heads too fast, and there was a sound of bone joints breaking from their necks.
Being looked at by countless eyes, Yang Ziqi looked a little uncomfortable, and hurriedly explained: "The ancestor and his old man only occasionally divide a wisp of divine thought and say a few words through my mouth. He didn't come...... At least he didn't come now, his old man has great powers, and I don't know when Lu Dao will appear......"
There was a lot of information in these words, and everyone was dumbfounded, even Bai Jin and Wu Xie were no exception.
They didn't understand before, for what kind of Yang God True Immortal, the seat was on the same level as them, beyond the various sects of the Dao Sect. Now it seems that Daokong Zhenjun specially told this matter at that time, which obviously has a deep meaning.
reminds me that Daokong Zhenjun listened to the sermon under the seat of the Taishang Dao Ancestor, and the Huangting Shenjun had a deep relationship with the Taishang Dao Ancestor in the past...... I'm afraid that Daokong Zhenjun is the one who knows the true identity of Dao Yang Ziqi.
Wu Xie is not very familiar with the ancient history of Daomen, but Bai Bai is very clear - in the past, there were originally many branches of Daomen, and each branch had a Creation God Monarch. Among them, Zhengyi is the strongest and most influential. Later, Taishang was born, he summarized the exercises of various sects of Taoism, created the concept of "non-action" as the core, and created the method of nine turns containing the path of three thousand immortals, so that the influence of Taishang continued to strengthen, and finally overwhelmed all other branches of Taoism, and even when it came to Taoism in later generations, what came to mind was Taishang Dao Ancestor.
And the Huangting Divine Monarch is a disciple of the Zhengyi Ancestor, and his qualifications are older than the two Divine Monarchs of Qingjiao and Chisong, and even when the Taishang Dao Ancestor met him back then, he had to call him "Dao Brother".
He is the successor of the way of "promising", and he has discussed the Tao with the Taishang Shenjun three times in the past - the result is not to say, it hurts to say it.
In short, since then, the Huang Ting Divine Monarch has disbanded the sect and floated into the heavens and worlds. He vowed to walk the path to the eternal realm, proving that the Dao method of the Zhengyi vein was not bad, but he was just clumsy.
Later, Taishang Hedao, Shenmen fell, and Daomen withered. Although the Huangting Divine Monarch also appeared during the first battle of the Divine Gate, and also fought with the Divine Gate Divine Monarch, he did not have the intention of reviving the Daomen, and he still wandered the world and did not know where to go.
For so many years, almost no one has seen his traces, but they didn't expect that this Yang Ziqi was not an ordinary disciple of his disciples, but his descendants, and the people he entrusted his divine thoughts.
Although Yang Ziqi seems to be a little helpless now, he doesn't seem to have the majesty of his predecessors. But his embarrassed appearance at the moment compared with his previous speech, but people have to suspect that it was not him who spoke before, but a wisp of divine thought from Huang Ting Shenjun.
Huang Ting Shenjun?!
Thinking that everyone might be making a fuss in front of the Creation God Monarch just now, everyone couldn't help but weaken their hands and feet, more than one person couldn't help but tremble, and some people were so frightened that their faces turned white.
Some of their thoughts must not be hidden from the Huang Ting Divine Monarch, if the Huang Ting Divine Monarch dislikes them because of this......
Wu Jie's gaze swept across the audience, and when he saw that many people's faces were pale, he couldn't help but laugh secretly.
Regardless of whether the Huang Ting Divine Monarch appeared or not, in fact, things were no different. If he was really dissatisfied with the performance of some people and wanted to do something, he would have done it a long time ago. Since he just warned and exposed the hidden identity of the Divine Sect True Monarch by the way, there must be no more performances......
However, he himself was really taken aback. When the Divine Sect True Monarch said the name "Huangting Ancestor", he felt his heartbeat stop for a moment.
You must know that he is the reincarnation of the Supreme God Monarch, the number one demon of the heavens and all worlds!
Although Jasmine has repeatedly assured that even the World Destroying God Thunder no longer recognizes him, other monks naturally cannot. But Wu Xie knew that the means of creating the Divine Monarch could never be so simple!
According to Hua Siyuan, he may have also suffered a heavenly punishment such as the world-destroying god thunder, but his divine thoughts still exist, and his sect still dominates all the powerful forces of the heavens and ten thousand worlds.
And theoretically, the Supreme Divine Monarch, who should have been destroyed by the World Destroying God Thunder, actually left a foreshadowing in the Great Dao, and almost calculated Wu Jie.
The ability of the Huang Ting Divine Monarch is probably inferior to Hua Siyuan and the Supreme Divine Monarch, but how to say that it is also a Creation Divine Monarch. Even if he couldn't see that Wu Xie was the reincarnation of the Supreme Divine Monarch, he would most likely see the existence of the Heavenly Book World Realm, and then judge that Wu Xie was the descendant of the Supreme Divine Monarch from the Heavenly Book World Realm......
Fortunately, nothing happened!
“…… Today is the immortal ceremony of the two Taoist friends of the Yujing faction, so let's follow the tradition. Just as he sighed, Yang Ziqi had already spoken again, "According to tradition, shouldn't there be a preaching conference?" ”
When everyone heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief. But Wu Xie and Bai Bai couldn't help but glance at each other, and they both saw a bit of a wry smile in each other's eyes.
At celebrations such as the Immortal Ceremony, it is indeed a long-standing tradition for the host of the celebration to preach and show everyone his understanding of the Great Dao. It's just that this is generally a matter at the celebration of the Cave Void True Monarch or even the Immortal Heavenly Monarch, how are the two Yang God True Immortals qualified to preach in front of a large group of people who have attained enlightenment earlier than themselves?
Obviously, this Yang Ziqi must have followed his own family all the year round, and maybe the people he usually met were True Monarchs and Heavenly Monarchs, so he didn't think about what the celebration of the Yang God True Immortal should look like, and subconsciously put forward opinions according to the situation he was familiar with.
"Senior Yang is right! Let's ask two fellow Taoists to preach. There was silence for a moment, and then someone spoke in agreement.
Wu Xie didn't know whether the person who agreed with Lu Dao was out of good intentions or bad intentions, but he was sure that he was probably not suitable to preach.
This is not to say that his understanding of the Great Dao is very poor, but that his fundamental exercises do not belong to the Dao Sect at all, and he will be exposed as soon as he opens his mouth.
Of course, he can also speak according to his own understanding of the Taishang Nine Transformations Method. But "preaching" is not just empty words, it is to demonstrate the Tao with supernatural powers, show your own Tao in front of everyone, and confirm each other with everyone.
His Dao is based on the exercises of the four divisions of the Fighting God, which is really not suitable for demonstration!
In distress, Bai Bai suddenly smiled and said, "What Senior Yang said is reasonable, why don't you let me talk about it first." ”
"Huh? Platinum wants to preach? More than one person was stunned when they heard his words.
In everyone's impression, the owner of the Yujing Sect Bingyun Mansion has excellent swordsmanship and strong combat power, but no one has ever heard of him being good at preaching!
You must know that Lu Dao, today is not to preach to those junior disciples who have not achieved immortality, but to preach to the guests from all walks of life who are also immortal true immortals. If the platinum does not perform well, it will lose the face of the entire Yujing faction!
For a time, anyone who knew anything about platinum was full of doubts. Even Wu Jie, who was already preparing to rush the ducks to the shelves, was stunned for a moment.
Facing everyone's puzzled eyes, Bai Jin smiled slightly, and said loudly: "In the next is the owner of the Bingyun Building, the name of the Yujing faction's 'Bingfeng Absolute Sword', I think everyone has heard of it, Bai is not good at words, so he will use his swordsmanship to show it, and confirm it with all his fellow Daoists." ”
After speaking, he beckoned everyone to sit down, and then flicked the wine glass in front of him with his fingers, and the wine in the glass flew up, turning into a crystal icicle, and flying into the sky with a roar.
"All the people of my Taoism, all kinds of exercises, all start from 'Shuntian'."
With his words, the icicle shook slightly, and it galloped up in the air.
Icicles do not simply fly, but when they fly, a sense of peace and moisture slowly emerges from them, permeating the entire venue.
This breath is extremely mild, like a light rain on a spring night, moisturizing all things silently, and naturally exuding a vigorous vitality. Inspired by this vitality, many of the wood that had been made into tables glowed a tiny green, but if you look closely, the dead wood has sprouted again.
"Bai Daoyou's words are wrong, overly moisturizing, and it is not the way of the heavens." Someone opened his mouth and retorted, "Those who obey the heavens are born, old, sick and die." My generation's quest for immortality is naturally a move against the sky, how can it be said that it is against the sky? ”
Bai Jin had already expected that someone would refute it, and smiled slightly when he heard this: "What Daoyou said is also a truth. But what I mean by Shuntian is not to blindly follow the principle of the cycle of heaven and earth, but to start from the principle of heaven and earth, grow with the help of its strength, and wait until the most critical moment to use its own strength. ”
"Immortality is a difficult thing, and you can only rely on yourself in the last level, but before that, you should rely on the power of heaven and earth."
As he spoke, the wind in the air was loud, and the turbulent breath formed a turbulent vortex, and in this vortex, the icicles condensed by the wine were light and fluttering, as if they had no weight, and they wandered with the air current, suddenly to the east, and suddenly to the west, appearing relaxed.
But suddenly, the sword flashed, and a sharp edge came out of the icicles, tearing a crack in the turbulent airflow, from which it fluttered away, turned into wine again, and fell back into the platinum cup.
"Grow with the obedience, achieve with the adversity, and then keep to the self with the conformity." Bai Bai smiled, "This is Bai's way of immortality, what do you think?" ”
There was silence at the venue for a while, and then Elder Yan Zhengyan of the Moxiao Sect praised: "Living between good and bad, growing and nourishing with adversity, and breaking through with adversity, this is indeed the way to eternal life!" ”
As a predecessor who has been enlightened for hundreds of thousands of years, his words affirmed the path and understanding of platinum, and for a while, everyone also opened their mouths to praise.
Wu Xie looked at the people who were full of praise, and then looked at the smiling platinum, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, so he was ready to demonstrate it head-on. As for what to demonstrate, it is not the mind of the Daomen at all, so I have to hehehe......
But no one expected that before he had time to demonstrate the Dao method, someone in the hall said: "I have heard of the prestige of the Ice Peak Absolute Sword of the Yujing Sect, and it just so happens that this time the two Daoists who have achieved immortality are both disciples of Ice Cloud Peak. Now that Bai Daoyou has demonstrated the Dao method, it is better to ask Wu Daoyou to show off his swordsmanship. ”
When Wu Xie heard this, the expression on his face couldn't help but stiffen.
Swordplay? He doesn't have any swordsmanship to demonstrate! Do you want to demonstrate the Tianwen Sword Technique?
"Wu's swordsmanship, compared to Uncle Bai, is really not worth mentioning......," he said with a wry smile, wanting to excuse himself.
But the man didn't allow him to shirk at all, a blue-green sword light had already risen, and he nodded to him from afar, as if saluting: "A certain family is not talented, I am willing to be a sparring partner, please be merciful to Wu Daoyou's subordinates!" ”
Wu Xie was stunned for a moment, seeing this scene, he knew that Lu Dao was already unable to refuse.
"These guys did it on purpose!" Platinum's voice rang in his ears, "You give them a sword, so that they can also see the power of our Ascended Monks!" ”
"The disciple is not good at swordsmanship!" Wu Xie replied with a wry smile, "If you talk about martial arts or spells, the disciple is quite confident. Swordplay...... It's not my strength! ”
Bai Jin was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that Wu Jie, as a Flying Ascension Monk, was not good at swordsmanship.
Generally speaking, the Ascended Monks have extraordinary attainments in swordsmanship because they can divide more thoughts because of their powerful divine thoughts, which can be described as unique. But Wu Xie is just an exception, his talent in swordsmanship is quite clumsy, even if he has the advantage of divine thoughts, his swordsmanship is categorically no match for those Yang God True Immortals who are good at swordsmanship.
Seeing that the sword light of the true immortal who took the initiative to ask for "sparring" was stable and calm, and the sword intent was clear and sharp, he knew that he must be a master of swordsmanship. Even if Platinum makes a personal move, he may not be able to take much advantage - let alone Wu Jie.
Faced with such a scene, Wu Xie couldn't help but feel a little distressed. Just as he was frowning and trying to find an excuse to excuse himself, Du Ruo in the Heavenly Book World Realm spoke.
"Fourth, relax your mind a little and let me help you control the flying sword." She has been smiling and watching the excitement at the moment, her face is sinking like water, and her eyes are a little vicious, "Want to bully my brother?" Dream! ”
Wu Xie suddenly felt a sigh of relief in his heart - Du Ruo was a real genius, and his talent in swordsmanship was better than that of his junior brother Yi Yi, and among the people he had seen, he might only be under Yin Shuang. With her swordsmanship, I believe that even if she can't win, she will definitely not lose the face of the Yujing faction!
"But third sister, your cultivation is not high enough, if you hit it hard, you will suffer a lot......" He was about to let go of his mind and let Du Ruo use his body to perform swordsmanship, but suddenly thought of such an important thing, and couldn't help frowning again.
"You guy, why do you look down on your third sister so much! With my swordsmanship, how can he have a chance to fight me! Du Ruo raised his eyebrows and sneered disdainfully, "For swordsmanship masters like us, it is the most undesirable thing to fight hard, you just wait to see the excitement!" ”
After a while, "Wu Jie" smiled slightly, and said in a loud voice: "Today is the celebration of this sect, it's not appropriate to use weapons, right?" ”
"It's just a seal of swordsmanship, what's inappropriate?" The man did not give up, but became more aggressive.
"Then how about you and I use the wine as a sword and point it to the end?"
The man was silent for a moment, nodded, put away the sword light, flicked the wine glass with his fingers, and the wine in the cup roared, turning into a sword light, pointing at Wu Jie.
At the same time, the wine glass in front of Wu Xie also shook slightly, and the wine in the cup flew up, but it did not turn into a sword light, but spread out bit by bit, turning into countless crystal water droplets floating in the air.
"The way of swordsmanship, the first is fast, and the second is skillful. Be careful! ”
As soon as the words fell, the countless water droplets shook violently, turned into countless sword lights, and flew towards the other party with a roar.
That person didn't expect Wu Xie to be able to divide the sword intent into so many ways, and he was a little flustered. As soon as he pinched the sword technique, his water sword suddenly collapsed, turning into hundreds of sword lights, trying to intercept it.
However, you don't even need to look at the situation of the two sides, just look at the amount of sword light on both sides, and you can know that the victory or defeat of this battle has long been decided.
Only a moment later, "Wu Jie" smiled, retracted the countless sword lights in front of him, turned into a glass of wine, returned to the wine glass, and then raised the wine glass: "Accept." ”
Not far away, the Yang God True Immortal, who was very confident in swordsmanship, had a blue face, and there were wine stains everywhere on his face.
The two sides played each other, but it was only one round. Not suitable, right? ”
"It's just a seal of swordsmanship, what's inappropriate?" The man did not give up, but became more aggressive.
"Then how about you and I use the wine as a sword and point it to the end?"
The man was silent for a moment, nodded, put away the sword light, flicked the wine glass with his fingers, and the wine in the cup roared, turning into a sword light, pointing at Wu Jie.
At the same time, the wine glass in front of Wu Xie also shook slightly, and the wine in the cup flew up, but it did not turn into a sword light, but spread out bit by bit, turning into countless crystal water droplets floating in the air.
