Chapter 39: The Sorrow at the Grave
At midnight that day, Orwells was in a state of conflict. He arranged his hair and beard and lay down on the large stone bed in the cave, the flowers and plants outside the cave swayed in the wind, the moonlight slanted in from the starry night sky, and the sky wood outside could be seen in the sky.
He let out a long sigh and got out of bed to pick up the shining green sword that was lying beside the bed, remembering what Riagus had said to him that night: "Carry this sword to the city of Changshi, one of the four ancient cities of Tiirota, where someone will pick you up." β
Thinking of the pale and feeble Agurts in the darkness, he felt in his heart that he had done something wrong.
He thought about it, and had many broken thoughts, and sat on the stone bed, looking at the vast starry sky outside the cave, thinking of the outside world, and thinking of Daria, and he took out the jade block that Daria gave him when he was a child.
"Whenever the little carpenter sees it, he thinks of Dalya. In the sea of flowers of Deirota, Daria's pleasant voice came to her mind clearly.
"I wonder how Daria is now, where is it, what has become of it?"
At this moment, Dalia was sitting alone on the steps in front of the Imperial Palace with a little rabbit in her arms, looking at the starry sky, and the white soldiers were neatly arranged on both sides. Daria looked at it for a while, her eyes narrowed, her legs propped up, she put the little rabbit between her knees and her belly, held her knees with both hands, lowered her head, and said in her heart: "Little carpenter, how are you now? Have you crossed the Nan'a Mountain? I'm not doing well at all, my brother is not by my side, I'm the only one." β
At this time, Mandovusius walked out of the hall slowly in a robe, he came behind Daria, stroked Daria's shoulders and whispered, "It's so late, why don't you sleep? Hurry up and sleep, you are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen, you are the one who wants to be the queen of my Mandovusius Emperor, and I will not let you develop any bad habits. β
"There's no way I'm going to be with you. Daria stood up and walked briskly towards the palace.
After the Great Mountain of Nan'a. Orvilles' wandering thoughts could not be calmed for a long time, and he picked up the vault sword and walked out. The night breeze blew through the vast clearing, and the fragrance of grass and wildflowers came to his nose, and his heart was refreshed. Then. But I heard the mournful and desolate voice of the master from the cave in the center of the highest part of the mountain:
"Ten years of sharpening a sword, wind and rain talk about the vicissitudes of life.
Jinting Xizhu looks at the remnant sun,
The small window is pacing, and the shadow of the sword is buried in the darkness.
How many people understand?
Nostalgic empty pair of endowments, shake into heaven. β
After a while. Master burst out laughing.
"Master Ben has succeeded at last!" Raising his eyes, the cave was brightly lit, and suddenly, the master burst out of it, and he stepped on the thin air in the round sky surrounded by high mountains, leaving a brief blue footprint everywhere he stepped on it, and Orwells watched his strange behavior with a daze.
After a while, Master walked briskly down from the sky, like a staircase. Step by step, I came to Orvilles. With a staff in his hand, the white crane named BatllΓ³ flew out of the cave and landed on the ground, he looked at Orvilles and smiled: "I haven't slept so late, I must have been bound by the world, thinking about something useless." β
Seeing that Orvilles hadn't spoken to him for a long time, he said again: "Well, let me ask you, you have been here for so many days, have you ever thought about what you are suitable to study?"
Orvilles shook his head.
"I don't know what I can learn, but I see how skillfully Master walks in the sky. β
"You want to learn this?" the old man smiled. Shaking his head, "That's the Huabu of the Soul Dao, able to walk in the sky, but you're not suitable." β
"Not suitable?" Orvilles asked. "Why?" Orvilles' excitement overflowed over his face after knowing that his master was going to teach him the power that could defeat thousands of people in his eyes.
The master lightly tapped Orvilles with his finger, "Your body is filled with the aura of the Yuan Thorn of the Six Verticals, it was your Lord Agurts who used the swordsmanship of the Six Verticals to pass it on to you, if you practice the Soul Dao tricks again, I am afraid that the two different forms of Yuan Thorns will be reversed and confused." In the end, nothing came of it!"
"Of course, there are people in this world who have fully acquired all the five realms and six verticals, but apart from Lord Ben, where is there such a genius!" Master flicked his sleeves and laughed loudly.
"What is a spindle?" Orwells asked.
"What?" the master was taken aback and pointed at him with his staff, "It turns out that you don't even know this thing, it seems that you don't know anything about the soul path I created, and I asked you about the things in the world today, and you don't understand it, so I'll tell you as if you don't know anything." β
After that, he turned his back and gestured with his hand: "Yuan Thorn is an important foundation for Lord Ben to discover the mystery of the soul path in the five realms, and it is also the premise for the other four and six vertical tricks to be used. When I first discovered it, I found that a small amount of Yuan Thorn produced in my body would have a noticeable stinging sensation if I put it in someone else's hand, so I named it Yuan Thorn. β
"Haha!" he laughed, "and now that I think about it, how apt the name is, it is enough to see the mastery of the art of this name." β
"Do you understand this?" he said, looking back at Orvilles.
"Hmm. Orvilles nodded, thinking to himself, "He really didn't know anything about the chicken coop in Dirota back then, and he taught me so many days, and he didn't say anything about it. β
"Very good," Master said with a smile, "Then now I'll tell you the types of tricks, and you listen carefully, which will be very important for your future studies." β
He solemnly said: "There are ten methods in the world, these ten methods are created by different people and different clans, and the tricks and characteristics have their own merits, and some even restrain each other, which can be roughly divided into ten kinds of methods, such as one creation, two methods, three tricks, four elephants, five paths, six verticals, seven gods, eight gates, nine ruins, and ten souls, a total of 55 categories. β
Master explained, "These are just small classifications, and the number of tricks contained in the Dharma is too numerous to count. β
"One creation, as the name suggests, is the creation flow, a trick that can create matter, but this trick is rarely used, not only because of the complexity of the spell itself, but also because the caster will be completely useless after the spell, becoming a person who is not even as good as an ordinary person. will even suffer from excessive exhaustion and eventually die of death. β
He pointed to the green sword in Orvilles' hand and said, "This Dome Sword of yours has a kind of generative power attached to it, the so-called 'Dome Lu Fuge, two poor ends.'" It's a great sword. β
"And what about the two dharmas," Master continued, "that is, the spiritual law and the heavenly law. It can also be said to be the law of elves and angels, the best of these creatures of elves and angels are born with their spiritual power, they can't practice the Yuan Thorn and can also fight with spiritual power, and those who use spiritual power to fight and reach a certain level are called great spirits, just like the great magicians of the Heavenly Demon Dao and the other four realms. These are all names that are unique to practitioners. β
He saw that Orvilles was listening patiently, so he said more and more energetically, "The three formulas are the three formulas of the great spirits, which are divided into the "Floating Mountain Archangel Formula", "Twilight Water Elf Formula" and the rumored "Great Western Realm Secret Formula". β
"As far as the four elephants are concerned, Master Ben thinks that they are definitely the four strongest of the ten methods. He accentuated his tone. He gestured and said: "That is not something that many people can practice if they want to, it is innate, and it is difficult to find one among ten thousand, he includes celestial phenomena, remnant elephants, earth demon elephants and divine elephants, you should realize the wonder of the power of these four elephants." β
For example, he said: "The god of Sa who visited Lord Ben back then has the eye of the gods, and he can unleash many unexpected and mythical tricks, that is, the seven gods I mentioned above, which are the seven strongest tricks in the myth of Pares 10,000 years ago. Including the shadow to the floating mountain, the tattoo of the demon heaven, the destruction of the remains, the eyes of the ruins, the return of the gods to the dust, the heavenly gap and the cangjian Shentan, these seven tricks can be said to be the best of the best, and the demon king Yayulong back then is the person who has the purpose of the earth demon Sidora, he can make the entire demon clan surrender. β
"What about the so-called five paths. "Speaking of this, Master is simply passionate. "Including the Soul Dao created by Lord Ben with his life's work and the Path of Robbery created by Nuibis, the Heavenly Demon Dao created by Arus, the god of evil and darkness, the Heavenly Dao created by Sauron Ed, the Blue Pupil of the Floating Mountain, and the Earth Vertical Divine Dao created by Eichmanches, the red-robed old monster of Nawei Han Luoshan. β
He said proudly: "Lord Ben was the first to discover the Yuan Thorn, according to the principle, Lord Ben created the Five Paths, the Five Paths have a lot of tricks, and the foundation is strong, which is not only due to the genius performance of Lord Ben. β
He tossed his cane aside and spread his arms. He closed his eyes, looked up at the night sky, and said excitedly, "And thanks to those juniors of this lord, the disciples of this lord are all over the world, and they are constantly creating new tricks to make the five realms more powerful and powerful. β
Speaking of this, he suddenly turned his head and rebuked angrily: "And the Heavenly Demon Dao created by Arus and the Tribulation Dao created by Nuibis are an evil method, the Heavenly Demon Dao is created for the demon people, and the Tribulation Dao is more than that, I heard that there are seven tribulations in the Tribulation Dao, once you enter the Tribulation Dao, you will get the strange power of this world, but you also have to pay a huge price for this: distorted minds, deformed faces, and even tragic deaths, one tribulation, two tribulations, three tribulations...... Seven points of eons, each additional point increases one more point of suffering, but each additional point increases. The Master said mysteriously, "If that person does not die, he will increase his terrifying unknown power, and I heard that the Perfectionist of the Seven Tribulations is an immortal body that cannot be defeated." β
He retracted his heart, sighed, and continued: "And the six verticals are specially created for swordsmanship, swordsmanship, or some other different techniques, including the heavenly vertical, the earth vertical, the divine realm vertical, the ghost path vertical, the longitudinal soul of the soul, and the senluo vertical, the so-called four elephants give birth to five paths, five paths give birth to six verticals, and everything in the world is inextricably linked......
As the old man spoke, and Orvilles listened attentively, there was a faint sound of a man sobbing, whispering to himself, and the rustling of the sword outside the mountain.
The Master stopped speaking with great interest and stood still, listening to the movement outside.
"Who is out there in the mountains?" Orvilles asked in a low voice.
"Don't make a noise. Master's face turned serious, "There are few people here, I'm afraid it's not good." With that, Yihua leaped into the sky, and a flash of light suddenly disappeared.
Orvilles wanted to see what was going on outside through the cracks in the mountains, but he was restrained by the vines growing underground, and the white crane stood beside him and watched him.
"That person is probably here because of you. You can't go out until Ben-sama doesn't come back here. "Just listen to the white crane in the master's voice.
In the gap between the mountains of Nan'a, the master hid his body behind the mountain, and his head slowly poked out. If it is a general situation. In Master's usual style, he would rush straight forward and lecture the man or give him a beating, but now he is willing to be "bound by the world" and secretly spy on the man's traces. It can be seen that the person who came is not an ordinary person.
Glancing behind the mountain, Master saw Orvilles' father, Yadu, dressed in a black robe and carrying five identical slender black swords on his back, kneeling in front of his mother's grave. For some reason, he strangely thrust all the swords he was carrying into the ground in front of the grave, and then slammed his head deeply.
"What is he going to do?" the old man was contemplating Addu's strange behavior, and Aduk glanced back and stood up majestically.
"Oh no," the Master read, his eyes meeting in the same light as Yadu's Eagle in that glance. He knew that Yadu had discovered him, and he prepared to leave to avoid this unnecessary fight.
But what he didn't expect was that Yadu didn't trouble him, but took a step ahead of him, turned into a string of black shadows before he left, and disappeared without a trace towards the rear.
"It's the trick of the Heavenly Demon Dao that sinks westward, and it can make people disappear a hundred miles away in an instant!" the old man thought, and a mysterious shadow stepped forward.
In front of the tomb, the five long swords that Yadu had inserted here were lined up, and they all went half the way into the earth. The body of the sword is dark black and exquisite. Although he had never seen such a sword before, he clearly felt that each of the five swords contained a strange power.
He gripped the hilt of his sword in his hand, trying to pick it up and take a closer look. But unexpectedly, he was unable to pull it out, and he thought that he had used too little force, so he continued to draw his sword with great force, but this time he failed to pull it out.
He sensed something strange and took a few steps back. Pick up a dead leaf from the ground and squeeze it with both hands full of green thorns, and the dead leaf becomes a small sapling.
He threw the sapling at a few black swords, shook the staff to the ground, and said softly, "Wheel Road? β
At this time, the old man swiped lightly with his long staff, and the thick branches coiled up and entangled the five black swords, and the huge growth force pulled the sword body and slowly rushed up to the earth.
"I can't get out now. The old man laughed.
But at this moment, the earth suddenly trembled slightly with the growth of the trees, and a strange creaking sound was heard from the depths of the earth, and then, black protrusions like tree roots appeared from all directions near the five swords. The creatures that dwelt in the vast clearing were frightened and ran around.
"Those swords can't be drawn. At this moment, the night spirits in the elven forest in the distance floated from the sky.
Seeing this, the old man waved the tree away, and then walked in front of the black root-like thing that protruded from the earth.
"Could it be that these five swords have taken root in the ground!" he looked at the strange sword that could not be drawn, thought suspiciously, and then tilted his head to the night spirit wandering in the sky and asked, "The elves are well-informed, do you know where these five swords belong?"
"Yes. "These five swords are all the same, with the same appearance and the same power, remember that a long, long time ago, when the Elven King Edmia traveled to the Great Snow Land (1) in search of Prince Alofa who had disappeared in the Elven Forest of Twilight Beize, he found thirteen black swords identical to these five swords in the cave of Tiange Mountain. β
"'How can there be such a well-forged sword in such a cold and snowy place?' , and the king brought one back from there, and called it the Great Snowy Black Sword, whose body was brilliant and clear, and the blade was so sharp that it could be said to be like a clay soldier, and he loved it like a rare treasure, but by chance he accidentally plunged it into the ground. β
"What happened, is it the same as the situation that Lord Ben is facing now?" the old man interrupted him.
"Yes, it has never been pulled out again, and no matter how much the king who is proficient in the Twilight Water Spirit Technique uses his spiritual power to the fullest, he will not be able to pull it out, 'This is really a strange sword,' said the king at the time, but for the sake of face, he did not publicize it, and this black sword. He continued, "It disappears after a while. β
"Disappeared automatically?" asked the old man, "and there must have been something left behind." β
"Yes. "After the sword is gone, the elves buried in the area near this sword have come back to life. β
"Come back to life?" said the old man, disbelievingly, "wouldn't that be a resurrection of the dead, contrary to the natural truth that Lord Ben has always believed in!"
"But it's true, and that's what our people have written about it in the history books that have been passed down from generation to generation. The Eidolon replied......
