Chapter 23 External Troubles and Internal Troubles
Zi Yan is very well-behaved and smart, and after listening to Ye Boyu's words, she already understood the concerns in Ye Boyu's heart, and said with a smile: "I can't see that Brother Ye, you are still a person who is as careful as a hair and has a wonderful understanding of Buddhism." Yes, it is said that when the Patriarch of the Qing Shenzi founded the Blood Cloak Hall, there was another person with him, but it is only a legend, and we have never seen this person. β
Hearing this, Ye Boyu's heart sank, and he hurriedly said, "This person is a disciple of Buddhism?"
Zi Yan shook her head and said, "I don't know either." I only heard that this person's cultivation is extremely high, and he is not under the ancestor of the Qing Yingzi, it is said that soon after the two of them founded the Blood Cloak Hall, this person disappeared and disappeared without a trace. Many of the powerful mechanisms in this secret passage were set up by this person. β
Ye Boyu speculated in his heart that the couplet of Gu Ting should not be written by Fengbeard, but should be written by the mysterious person Zi Yan said. But Zi Yan clearly said that she saw with her own eyes that it was written by Fenghu, so what's going on?
Zi Yan didn't know anything about other details, the two discussed for a while, and they didn't come up with a reason, so the two discussed to rest on this platform for a few hours, first, to see if they could wait for Sima Nan, and secondly, they had just experienced those vicious battles, and the two of them also had to adjust.
Zi Yan went into the cave behind the waterfall to rest, and Ye Boyu no longer thought about any mysterious masters, so he sat down at the stone table and closed his eyes to recuperate. After a while, I suddenly remembered the sword path cultivation method of the "Eight Desolation Sword Qi Technique", and if there was nothing to do, I spit it out according to the law.
"Eight Desolation Sword Qi Technique" It is created by Ou Yezi, it is the ancestor of the sword sect between heaven and earth, first induce qi into the body, cultivate the true body of the sword, the true body of the sword is slightly formed, you can continuously absorb the innate aura by yourself, and you can practice in your sleep, which is a hundred times faster than your own body into the meditation, Ye Boyu exerts a little, and he feels that the pores on his body seem to be all opened, absorbing the aura of the outside world, although the cave is at the bottom of the river, but the aura is particularly strong, and it continues to pour in from all over the big holes, forming a small trickle, converging into the dantian, and then passing through the eight veins of the dantian, opening up the meridians everywhere, and finally accumulating in the Tanzhong acupoint, becoming his own essenceγ After such a Sunday, Rao is Ye Boyu has strong internal strength, and it will take more than an hour.
After running for two big weeks, Ye Boyu lowered his head and looked at it with his dark eyes, only to see that the shadow of the rice grains in the dantian seemed to be a little bigger, and he felt that he was full of energy and couldn't sit still anymore, so he walked to the couplet again, and said softly: "There are thousands of words in the snap of the fingers, and there is no word in the smile." The meaning of these two sentences was silently pondered in his heart.
As soon as the words fell, an old and loud voice came out of nowhere: "Yes, although you have a thousand words, you have no smile! Wind beard, after a thousand years, you finally dare to come to see me." β
After experiencing a series of shocking changes one after another, Ye Boyu's mind also became much calmer, this person was talking in front of him, and he didn't even notice his thoughts, only that he had a strong opponent. As soon as his mind moved, he already knew that the voice was coming from the ground, and said in a deep voice: "In Xia Ye Boyu, this is polite, dare to ask who the seniors are? Why don't you come out and meet?"
As he was talking, Zi Yan, who was resting in the cave, had already rushed out when she heard the sound, standing side by side with Ye Boyu with a sword.
I could only hear the old voice say again: "Windbeard, why is your breath so weak? Are you seriously injured, or are you deliberately hiding and don't want me to notice?" β
Zi Yan glanced at Ye Boyu, and pointed to the couplet outside the pavilion, indicating that this person might be the mysterious master he just said.
Ye Boyu nodded slightly towards Zi Yan, and said: "The seniors may have recognized the wrong person, there is no wind beard here, only me and the three juniors." β
I only heard the old voice say angrily: "Okay, good, Wind Beard, you don't dare to come out to see me, but let a yellow-mouthed child prevaricate in front of the old man, the old man wants to see if the old friend who has not seen him for thousands of years still has a look." β
Saying that, Ye Boyu and Zi Yan saw a flower in front of them, and they felt that there seemed to be a figure in front of them, and when they looked closely, they could vaguely see clearly, Tsing Yi and long beard were no one else, it seemed to be Fengbeard himself.
It was really too unexpected for the two, Ye Boyu and Zi Yan couldn't help but look at each other when they saw each other, the two glanced at each other, Zi Yan took a step forward, and asked in a trembling voice: "You, you are the ancestor of the Qing Yingzi?"
Hearing this, the figure looked at Zi Yan carefully, nodded and said, "Yes, you are Yan'er, you still remember the old man." β
When Zi Yan heard this, she fell to her knees and said in a loud voice: "Ancestor, it's really you." You're really here, Yan'er, Yan'er......" said, crying with joy, unable to say any more.
Ye Boyu was very strange on the side, obviously the wind beard was in his mustard seed space, why was there an extra wind beard here, the two looked exactly the same, who was real and who was fake, he couldn't help but hesitate. Looking at it with the dark eyes, it was only a vague shadow of a windy beard, which was difficult to identify. As for the cultivation of the figure, he didn't know anything, he only knew that it was much higher than himself.
The figure on the other side said with a whisker: "Yan'er, hurry up and speak." β
Only then did Zi Yan slowly stand up and asked in a low voice, "Ancestor, I don't know who you are talking about Wind Beard?" There are indeed only three of us here, and there is no Wind Beard. β
The figure nodded at Zi Yan, turned his head up and down to look Ye Boyu carefully, and said slowly: "Just now, the old man was clumsy, and he didn't see that this young man turned out to be a real person and didn't show his face." Dare to ask who the young man is taught by, and what sect is there?"
Ye Boyu shook his head and said: "The seniors are serious, the younger Ye Boyu is the next generation, the disciple of the Eight Desolations Sect, and he hasn't consulted the seniors yet?"
Zi Yan hurriedly interjected on the side: "Brother Ye, he is our Bloody Cloak Hall Founding Patriarch Qing Mingzi, why don't you come forward and worship quickly." β
Ye Boyu shook his head and said, "Zi Yan, don't worry, he may not be the real Qingyingzi Patriarch! β
"What?" When Zi Yan heard Ye Boyu's words be so rude, she was afraid that Qing Yingzi would be angry, so she hurriedly said: "Brother Ye, he is the ancestor of Qing Mingzi, how could I recognize the wrong person." β
Ye Boyu listened to Zi Yan's words, shook his head, looked at the figure in front of him, but shook his head and said nothing.
The figure on the other side who only listened said angrily: "That wind beard deceived the world and stole his name, and became a patriarch in vain, what is there to pretend?"
"Ah, Patriarch, what are you talking about?" Zi Yan was taken aback, her apricot eyes widened, and the figure who listened continued to speak, but told a secret of the Bloody Clothes Hall.
It turned out that this figure was Windbeard himself. More than 1,000 years ago, Wind Beard was forced by Xue Candle to come to Xiangxi to create the Blood Clothes Hall. Zi Yan is his portable sword "Biquan", a hundred years after Wind Beard created the Blood Clothes Hall, Zi Yan gradually cultivated into a sword spirit, so Zi Yan only knew Qing Mingzi but did not know that there was a wind beard.
After Windbeard created the Blood Clothes Hall, he completed Xue Candle's task, and was afraid that Xue Candle would chase and kill, so he stepped up his cultivation while trying his best to disappear invisibly and prevent Xue Candle from finding him. Only then did he build the Seven Star Great Array, the Patriarch's Hall and this underground cave one after another, and laid down many mechanisms and prohibitions in the cave, hiding the strange flowers and plants and jade treasures collected for thousands of years in the cave, increasing the concentration of the spiritual energy in the cave and speeding up his cultivation.
In this way, more than a hundred years passed, and Fengbeard practiced diligently, and finally cultivated to the late stage of the transformation of the gods, and cultivated into Yuanying, but he was far from being the opponent of Xue Candle Demon Blade, so he had a whim, wanting to force Yuanying out of his body, turn to other places, and completely hide his whereabouts. In a hurry, the strength of the physical body found was not enough, and it was not enough to support the powerful Yuan Shen, and his own Yuan Ying had just become, and he could not get out of the body for a long time, so he had to transfer the Yuan Ying to the jade python prepared in advance, and in a hurry, there was a soul and two spirits left in the original body, and after a long time, the spiritual power weakened, and the body slowly disappeared, and it became this faint figure now, sealed in this cave by the Yuan Infant of the Wind Beard.
The matter was in a hurry, and Fengbeard had no choice but to pretend to fly up and pass on the position of the hall master to his proud disciples. But no matter how hard the previous disciples cultivated, they would not have the thousand-year-old cultivation and various adventures of the wind beard, so they couldn't survive the first catastrophe and died.
After Sima Nan became the hall master, he couldn't help but be suspicious, thinking that it was the Wind Beard who refused to pass on the true cultivation tantric method to everyone, which happened to be the "Blood Soul Sutra" The matter spread loudly, so he secretly consulted with his old friend Feng Yiyun, first listened to Feng Yiyun's words, sucked people's essence and blood, and captured a large number of ordinary people to absorb the essence and blood, as a corpse, for their own practice, and slowly entered the devil's path, and was condemned by the elders, and then slowly the disciples also felt that Sima Nan's move violated the rules of the sect, and they were suspicious of Sima Nanγ
Listening to the words of the figure in front of them, Ye Boyu and Zi Yan were stunned, unable to speak for a long time, and after a while, Ye Boyu said: "Senior, the words on this couplet are your handwriting?"
The figure said slowly, "Yes, that's what I wrote. I was deceived by the wind beard, stayed here for thousands of years, and finally slowly realized the truth of 'red lotus, white lotus root, green lotus leaf, three religions were originally one family', many of them didn't understand before, the master couldn't explain the truth, and the Confucianism of the Buddha family was confirmed, and it was solved. It's a pity that Windbeard has never dared to come to see me for thousands of years, otherwise I would have told him that the three religions have the same origin and the avenue of breeding all things. Ha ha. β
