Chapter 23: The Son
Duanmu Yi came out of the ring space and searched for several large oil lamps from the room before entering the ring space again.
The oil lamp was lit, and the ring space instantly lit up, the space was not large, about twenty zhang square, and one zhang high. The four walls are glowing with purple-black oil, which looks solid and mysterious. When you look closely, the purple-black walls are carved with purple runes, as thin as mosquito feet, and they are invisible. The top and ground are also purple and black, and there are also subtle purple runes engraved on them. The runes must have been used to open up and stabilize this ring space.
There is nothing else in the ring space, it is empty. Duanmu Yi said: "It's very secret here, I'll show you the Mystic Secret of Wanshan on the drawing." ”
The saint said, "It is very good. ”
Duanmu Yi slowly demonstrated the secret of Wanshan from beginning to end, and when he encountered difficulties, he demonstrated it several times, and his movements were correspondingly slower. It wasn't until the saint completely memorized the secret of the Ten Thousand Mountains that she stopped.
Duanmu Yi said: "Since Miss Lan has completely memorized the Mystic Secret of Wanshan, let's strike while the iron is hot and practice enlightenment." I'll go out first, so as not to disturb you. ”
The saint said, "Thank you very much." ”
Watching Duanmu Yi disappear from the ring space, the saint concentrated on comprehending the secret of the Ten Thousand Mountains.
Duanmu Yi walked out of the ring space, and walked to the landscape painting scroll again, before Duanmu Yi comprehended the secret of the exercises on the mountain, and thought: "There are secrets of the exercises on the mountain, so there must be hidden tricks in the water." So he put his luck on his eyes, and locked his eyes on the lines and ink that outlined the water, and sure enough, the seemingly plain lines and inkblots were indeed made up of mysterious and small runes.
Duanmu Yi cast all his mind on those runes, and sure enough, the mysterious phantom resurfaced in his mind again. A vast churning lake appeared in my mind, the mist was locked, in the fog, I don't know how vast the water surface is, above the water surface, a phantom shadow was suspended in the mist, slowly changing its posture.
Gradually, the fog dissipated little by little, the water surface was clear, the phantom also appeared to be much more solid, the movements were slow and clear, one move and one style, such as a graceful dance, quite a daughter's soft state, although the move was slow, what could be felt was that the strength was not weak at all, and it was inexhaustible. Sometimes like a surging river, sometimes like a stream trickling, sometimes like a vast ocean, sometimes like a cold pool slightly, thousands of changes, extremely mysterious.
Duanmu Yi stood in front of the painting, motionless, sunrise and sunset, sunset and sunrise, I don't know how many days later, Duanmu Yicai looked at the dark, secretly relieved in his heart, shrugged his shoulders, and then took back his mind, the secret of the exercises in the ink painting scroll has already been engraved in the heart, and the secrets of the exercises on the ink outlining the lines of the water have been fully understood. After the admonition of the saint a few days ago, Duanmu Yi did not dare to use it at will, and only used the secret of the water in his mind, and the power was not bad, but he always felt that he was very out of his hands, and there was always some estrangement, and he could not use the power of the exercises. Duanmu Yi took the scroll off the wall, rolled it up, and with a slight movement of his mind, he passed through the door of space and entered the ring space.
In the ring space, the saintess sat in the dim light, her eyebrows slightly frowned, showing a difficult look. Obviously, he is doing his best to comprehend the secret of the Ten Thousand Mountains. When Duanmu Yi approached the saintess, the saint opened her eyes and saw Duanmu Yi with a radiant and clear expression, and she had already guessed that Duanmu Yi had made a breakthrough again. Said: "Yi'er, you won't comprehend the other kind of exercise on the ink scroll, the Void Taiqing Technique, right?" ”
Duanmu Yi said: "It is true that there is a kind of exercise secret from the water in the picture, but it can't be fully used, as if there is a natural shackle that is insurmountable, and it is impossible to exert the full power of this exercise secret." ”
The saint looked shocked, looked at Duanmu Yi over and over again with wide eyes, and then said, "You won't be the reincarnation of a god." In such a short period of time, you have comprehended two mysterious exercises, if the sect master knows about it, he will kill you. ”
Duanmu Yi smiled and said: "The only people who know about this matter are you and me, will you betray me, Master?" ”
The saint smiled and said, "How could Master betray my good apprentice." ”
Duanmu Yi said: "Then I will be relieved." So, Master, have you ever heard the rumors that this water exercise is too clear? ”
The saint said: "Don't always call me old with one master. ”
Duanmu Yi smiled playfully.
The saint came again: "It is rumored that this Hanxu Taiqing Recipe was created by Hanxu Shitai, as for the relationship between this Hanxu Shitai and the old man of Wanshan, this can be guessed, do you think, is it a coincidence that two powerful mystical exercises come together?" ”
Duanmu Yi nodded, thinking that the Holy Maiden was right.
The saint looked at Duanmu Yi, and there seemed to be a certain tenderness in her eyes that flashed away. said softly: "The immortal road is cruel, and there are a few people who die well" The tone was full ......of resentment, and there seemed to be infinite longing.
Duanmu Yi said: "Miss Lan, why don't I play this Hanxu Taiqing Trick for you again?" ”
The saint's eyes flashed with joy, and a small ripple rippled in her heart, and a subtle and indescribable emotion arose, as if she was grateful, but not all, it was a supreme gesture of comfort, and it seemed far-fetched. Helpless, there was a slight feeling of heat on his face, fortunately, the light in the ring space was dim, and Duanmu Yi did not notice the slightest abnormality.
The saint said, "All right. You play it and I'll watch it. ”
Duanmu Yi slowly demonstrated the secret of Hanxu Taiqing several times, and the saint could see it clearly, and where she didn't understand, Duanmu Yi explained and demonstrated it in detail. Although the saint is not as talented as Duanmu Yi, she is also Bingxue smart, and soon, she will memorize the secret of Hanxu Taiqing. The saint said: "The ancients said, the mountain is yang, and the water is yin. It does seem right. This mystical secret of ten thousand mountains is heavy and domineering, but the secret of the void is too clear, but it is endless. The harmony of yin and yang, the yang in yin, and the yin in yang, may be the way to bring these two sets of exercises to the extreme. ”
Duanmu Yi said: "People often say, men are yang, women are yin, it is better for you to cultivate the Hanxu Taiqing Jue to the extreme, I will specialize in cultivating the Wanshan Xuanzhong Jue, after the completion, we will perform it in one place to see how the effect is." ”
The saint said, "Just as I want." ”
As soon as they said and did, the two of them sat down cross-legged and practiced the two exercises in their minds. In the ring space, there was silence, the oil lamp was extinguished, the space was pitch black, and the two of them did not speak, as if they had escaped into the back of the space, and they were nowhere to be found.
Time flies, months pass in a blink of an eye, and on this day, the courtyard gate was suddenly opened, and the sound of small footsteps came from the small courtyard. Duanmu Yi sensed the situation in the outside world through the ring space, so he ended his cultivation, came out of the ring space, opened the door, and saw a young man in a silver costume leading several men in plain robes standing in the courtyard.
Duanmu Yi knew that something was wrong, fixed his mind, and said calmly: "Who is Your Excellency, you are so ......?"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a middle-aged man in a plain robe behind the silver-robed young man: "Bold! See how the Son does not worship! There was a strong coercion in his voice, and it was obvious that his cultivation was not low. Duanmu Yi suddenly felt a huge pressure, and his knees seemed to be difficult to support, so he was about to be forced to kneel on the ground by the huge coercion.
"That's it, just a hairy boy." The middle-aged man in the plain robe withdrew the coercion, and Duanmu Yi felt that his body suddenly relaxed.
"I ask you, where is the Holy Maiden? Can you be here? If your teeth burst into half a word, I will crush your bones and scatter ashes. The Holy Son, dressed in silver clothes, said coldly.
Duanmu Yi said: "Why lie, how can my master stay with me for a long time?" Where did she go, how do I know? "It seems neither humble nor arrogant.
The Holy Son looked at Duanmu Yi with a round gaze and said, "You are very good. "It looks like choosing people to eat. Then he turned his head and said to the middle-aged man in the plain robe: "Search for me!" ”
"Whoa!" The middle-aged man in the plain robe agreed, and said to the other plain-robed men: "Search, dig three feet into the ground to find the holy woman!" ”
Wow –
Suddenly, a group of plain-robed men scattered, some searched the courtyard, and some searched the house. There was a crackling, ping-pong, furniture toppling, and the sound of porcelain shattering. The entire courtyard houses and pavilions were turned upside down. Everyone found nothing, so they gathered in front of the Holy Son in silver clothes, knelt down in unison, kowtowed together, and said in unison: "The subordinates are incompetent, please punish the Holy Son!" ”
The Holy Son said angrily: "Which one has sores in his mouth and dares to indiscriminately defile the innocence of the Holy Maiden? Don't you know what the relationship between the saint and me is? To defile her is to defile me! ”
The crowd was silent. The Holy Son swept his eyes away from everyone, and finally landed on one of the old men in plain robes, and said coldly: "Ah Fu, why is your great age so false, before you said chiseled words, 'The Holy Maiden has not been out of Yang Duan's courtyard for several months, which is not a good thing', and now the Holy Maiden is safe?" You said! ”
The old man in the plain robe suddenly turned colorless, and crawled to the feet of the Holy Son in silver clothes, knocked his head on the feet of the Holy Son, and said: "The little loyalty can be learned from the sun and the moon, and every sentence is true, if there is half a lie, let the Holy Son dispose of it, even if he is punished by the sage, he will not hesitate to chop it into meat sauce!" "Tears flowed down my eyes, and I was terrified.
The Holy Son said coldly: "Pull it down, Su Ji!" There was no mercy on the cold face, and killing someone was as easy as slaughtering a chicken and a rabbit.
How dare everyone disobey, at the moment, there were four people escorting the old man in plain robes to the execution ground, and the rest of the people trembled and fell to the ground, and the people who had just worked together have now become a puddle of meat sauce, and their hearts trembled, as if the next one to be killed was themselves. Everyone slammed their heads on the ground, and they didn't dare to gasp.
The Holy Son glanced at Duanmu Yi with his eyes as cold as a knife, and said with contempt: "The kid is very good!" In addition to contempt, there is also a deep threat in the words.
Duanmu Yi didn't say much, and respectfully bowed to the Holy Son.
The Holy Son seemed to be satisfied with Duanmu Yi's salute, turned around, walked towards the courtyard gate, and said, "Let's go!" ”
When they were pardoned, they got up in a hurry and followed the Son.
Duanmu Yi watched the Holy Son and everyone go away, let out a sigh of relief, blew the girls and sons apart, checked that there were no six-eared snoops, locked the courtyard door again, walked into the house, locked the door, and then entered the ring space again.
