Chapter 4: Capture the Spirit
This rich and powerful voice, I don't know whether it came from the darkness or from the cold pool, dissipated in this world, and after a long time, I could clearly hear the echoes coming from the bursts, wandering in the ears of Dongfang Ning Feng.
He endured the sharp pain in his body and shouted, "Who!"
Suddenly, the cold air on the cold pool water dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the pool water under Dongfang Ning Feng's feet kept surging, and soon, the cold pool water had already reached his knees, and the cold that penetrated into the bones spread all over his body.
The cold made his mind extremely clear, and he saw hundreds of bubbles bubbling in the center of the cold pool, and layers of ripples spread outward from one point to another.
"Bang!" A crimson light and shadow broke through the water and rose to the sky, splashing a thousand waves like a river and a sea, instantly drowning the weak Dongfang Ning Feng like an ant.
Fortunately, his body shone with a pale yellow light connected to the wooden sword, and it suddenly appeared, firmly protecting his weak body, so that the rushing water did not pull him into the bottom of the pool.
Looking up, I saw that the crimson light and shadow had occupied almost every space in this world. Suddenly, Dongfang Ning Feng felt as if something was touching him, slippery and soft, like his mother's hands like jade gelatiny when he was a child, very comfortable.
Dongfang Ning Feng couldn't help but reach out to touch the red thing, but before he could touch it, it gradually moved away. Dongfang Ning Feng only thought of his situation at this time, and when he looked closely, a red dragon comparable to the size of the Sword King Mountain suddenly appeared, and the slippery and soft thing was one of its dragon whiskers.
With a flash of red light, the giant dragon in front of Dongfang Ning Feng disappeared out of thin air, and in an instant, a handsome and elegant middle-aged man walked out of the cold mist, but his head was the same as Dongfang Ning Feng, bare, and there was no grass.
"Who are you, why do I feel the breath of the old man in your body?" The kind and beautiful voice accompanied his body, and soon arrived in front of Dongfang Ning Feng.
Dongfang Ning Feng didn't answer the man's question, but asked suspiciously, "Are you a Buddha?"
The man frowned slightly, and looked at the young man in front of him carefully, only to see that with a slight wave of his sleeves, seven red bundles hit Dongfang Ning Feng's body.
Dongfang Ning Feng was overjoyed, only to feel that the pain on his body had completely disappeared, and immediately looked at the mysterious man in front of him.
I saw him turn his face sideways, as if with inexplicable sadness, and said: "Although I have the cultivation of the Buddha, but I am not the Buddha; ”
"Do you know my mother?" Dongfang Ning Feng hurriedly asked.
"Your mother?" The man shook his body, sighed, and said, "That's it, I haven't seen you for decades, but you have been married to a woman, and I will die soon." ”
"My mother has been dead for 10 years. ”
The man flickered again, and the grief on his handsome face entered Dongfang Ning Feng's eyes, making him wonder what the relationship between this man and his mother was.
With a wry smile, the man didn't know who to say: "I thought you would live longer, but if you didn't think about it, you left me first, so it's okay, and soon I will enter reincarnation and look for you." ”
"Thank you for your life-saving grace. Dongfang Ning Feng deliberately interrupted him, although he could see his feelings for his mother, but listening to these words that made people goosebumps, he always felt uncomfortable.
The man turned his head and said kindly: "You don't have to call me a senior, so people once called me Xihua; you don't have to thank me, you have been hit by the three strange poisons of the Nine Worms Broken Intestines, the Ice Xuanshui Snake, and the Thousand Centipede, there is no cure in this world, I just sealed your seven pain meridians." ”
The heart is completely cold. Dongfang Ning Feng looked at the wooden sword in the air that was fighting with the Wanyue Sword, and his eyes became a little lonely.
The man looked at the two swords in the air, and with a wave of his long sleeves, the Wanyue Sword seemed to hear the call and flew into his hand, and the wooden sword seemed to be conscious, and flew back into Dongfang Ning Feng's hand.
"You don't have to grieve, there is one death in all things, but it comes early on the day of destiny. Xihua comforted him.
"I never believed in fate, even if I was going to die now, but after reincarnation, one day, I will seek justice from heaven. The broken body couldn't wipe out his mind, and he really didn't know what kind of pain made him so determined.
Xihua looked at this boy who was only sixteen or seventeen years old seriously, once upon a time, he was also so ambitious, but the years of ten thousand years have smoothed the edges and corners of all things, and also smoothed his heart. He looked at the ancient sword waning moon in his hand and asked with a smile, "Do you know my origin?"
Dongfang Ning Feng shook his head.
"In the past, I was the strongest war dragon in the heavenly realm except for the dragon of the candle; the yellow sky destroyed the world, I ran with the gods in the world, and the gods passed down the method of cultivation and returned to the sky; unexpectedly, the sky was on fire, and I was seriously injured and degenerated into the form of my childhood, Pixiu. Xihua fell into an unforgettable memory.
Dongfang Ning Feng listened quietly, looking at the man's sad expression, he seemed to empathize.
Xihua said: "Fortunately, I met Liuyue, that is, the Buddha in your mouth, Pingshui met, he treated me like a relative, but I can no longer save him, I can only guard his soul and wander the world." ”
"Is there the soul of the Buddha in the Wanyue Sword?" Dongfang Ning Feng guessed.
Xihua glanced at the young man again, felt that he was really very smart, and replied: "That's right, the Seven Venerable Masters forged the ancient seven swords, and their souls were also sacrificed into the sword and turned into sword spirits. ”
Dongfang Ning Feng understood and nodded slightly, but he didn't expect that when he was dying, he could hear the secrets of heaven and earth.
"What do you have in your hand?" asked Xihua.
"Nine Soul Sword?"
Xihua said lightly: "The Nine Souls Sword is the first magic sword between heaven and earth, legend has it, it punishes the earth, and the sin is in the sky, the sword refers to reincarnation, sucks the essence and blood of all things, and takes the soul of life." ”
Dongfang Ning Feng was shocked and said softly: "This is indeed my mother's sword, but I don't know if it is the Nine Soul Sword you said." ”
"Decades ago, the waning moon was stolen by someone and left me, Ziyan used the Nine Souls Sword to find the waning moon, and only then did he meet me; Xihua couldn't help but sigh.
"It's just that we've seen each other for a short time, and I think I'll die soon. It seems that he was influenced by Xihua, and Dongfang Ningfeng also sighed.
Xihua smiled and said, "Boy, don't be sad, why is life and why is death?" "The sky is endless, the earth is endless, there is a Tao in between, the Tao gives birth to one, one life to two, two to three, three to all things, all things are integrated, the so-called life, the realm of the Tao, the so-called death, and the Tao is also in the sky." ”
"Hmph, the avenue is ruthless. Dongfang Ning Feng hated the way.
Hearing this, Xihua said again: "I don't dare to say that I understand the meaning of life and death, but life is by no means a matter of length, only ask yourself, can someone put you in your heart, do you have any regrets before you die?"
Dongfang Ning Feng's fleshy hand clenched the Nine Souls Sword tightly, and said: "I love, don't love me, love me, leave me, hate whom, I hate the sky." ”
Xihua shook his head helplessly and said, "Since you are alive and boring, I am not sorry for Ziyan if I kill you." "The coming out of the waning moon will surely attract thousands of cultivators to snatch it, and there will be a catastrophe in the world, today I inject the waning moon sword into your body, let the sword spirit devour you, and hope that the soul of the Buddha will return to the world, and this catastrophe will be calmed." ”
"Why me?" Dongfang Ning Feng asked stupidly.
"It can only be you, it can be seen that you and the Nine Soul Sword have been integrated, the Nine Soul Sword has the power to seize the soul of all things, and the sword spirit is no exception, it can be said that only your body in this world can carry the soul of the Buddha. Xihua explained.
"In that case, I don't have anything to say. Dongfang Ning Feng pretended to be reluctant and said, in fact, if he could save the world with this broken body, he was still very willing.
The Wanyue Sword was thrown into the air by Xihua, and stabbed at Dongfang Ning Feng like crazy.
The Nine Soul Sword trembled, as if it was about to fly out and compete with the Wanyue Sword, but it was grabbed by Dongfang Ning Feng alive.
The Wanyue Sword instantly pierced his body, and he saw thousands of white lights escaping out, "Hehehe......", it turned out to be a sword spirit who had been resentful for a long time.
One of the yellow lights and shadows penetrated Dongfang Ning Feng's head and entered his spiritual consciousness. Gradually, the yellow light and shadow turned into a human form, and the bald head and robe must be the soul of the Buddha.
It's a vast space, claustrophobic, and colorful auras are falling.
This is the sea of qi of Dongfang Ningfeng.
Buddha Zun chuckled: "This kid's sea of qi turned out to be a dead sea, or not." I saw him say "Amitabha", and in an instant, the sea turned blue, dazzling, and full of vitality.
Walking forward, across the sea of air, you will see a dimly lit palace.
This is the Jade Palace of Dongfang Ningfeng.
The Buddha was stunned: "How did this kid be born, that's it, that's it." Another sentence of "Amitabha", this palace became exquisite.
Continue on, walking up to the Jade Palace, above is endless darkness, only a little light can be seen, it seems to be the only star in this dark night sky.
This is the genius of Dongfang Ningfeng.
The Buddha Zun frowned, and said in his heart: How can there be such a dim and distant heavenly aperture? "Amitabha", he said a few times in a row, but there was no change in the heavenly aperture.
The Buddha was unwilling, flew into the air, and blasted into the boundless sky. But gradually exhausted, gasping for breath, suddenly, an invisible force pushed him into the darkness, the Buddha was secretly frightened, desperately resisted, but to no avail, in the end can only be relieved.
Looking at the only light in the heavenly aperture, the Buddha Venerable smiled and said: "A thought is like life, a thought is like an absolute, the destiny of heaven is like this, but I ask you to promote the Dharma and save the world on my behalf...... The voice continued to echo in the consciousness of Dongfang Ningfeng.
At the same time, Xihua was smiling and watching Dongfang Ning Feng's body heal rapidly, and the blood stains on his body quickly dispersed.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes, and a pair of eyes as bright as the morning light seemed to be the only light in the darkness, and the white light and resentful spirits around him dimmed their brilliance.
"Flowing Moon. Xihua excitedly called the Buddha's layman name.
I only heard the young man say lightly: "I'm sorry, my name is Dongfang Ningfeng." ”
