Chapter 232: Sacrifice
Yang Lie is a person who does what he says, and the next day he gave Zhao Fangxu a clear answer, so that the position of the new "Ten Elders" was completely determined, and the company's preparations for ending the turmoil were all completed. Next, as Tang Mu expected, the company announced that Gao voluntarily withdrew from the position of "old", and the remaining eight "old" wanted to discuss the inappropriate meeting of the Gao family on behalf of the world to hide the all-sex demon and the remnants of Jiashen Gao Gen, but the time was somewhat delayed, and it was set on May 21, that is, the twenty-first day of the fourth month of the lunar calendar.
Now that Gao Hong has withdrawn from the "old", why should the Gao Gen incident be postponed? The explanation for this is that there will be an extremely important tripartite meeting in Baijing on April 23 and 25 to peacefully resolve the nuclear issue on a certain peninsula. During this period, except for the employees of Nadutong Express Co., Ltd. and strangers who have lived in Baijing for a long time, Netotong unilaterally asked other strangers not to enter Baijing unless necessary.
The company's move is a bit overbearing, and naturally it has caused dissatisfaction in various places, but the "old" always has an exemplary role, isn't it, Lu, Lu, and Wang said that they should understand the company's decision, and they always think that those small sects and scattered people who are making waves do not dare to touch the moldy head of the four families.
During this time, the incident of Lu Sheng and Quanxing really calmed down a lot, and Quanxing was running around as always, chasing me all over the country, and I didn't dare to make too much of it, and it was not ugly, but I didn't hear of any of them successfully winning the Daluo Cave View during the period.
And some people couldn't bear it, and listened to the rumors from the outside world that the Lu family was harboring Lu Sheng, and ran to Lu Liang to question the Lu family.
In fact, if it was just this kind of groundless rumor, no one would dare to go to the Lu family's territory to ask important people, these people dared to do it, mainly for two reasons: one is that it was rumored not long ago that the Gao family had hidden Gao Gen It was true news, a lesson from the past; The second is that the day after the Gao family incident, the all-sexual murderer Xia Liuqing was ambushed and captured by the Lu family, but the Lu family said that on the way to escort this Xia Liuqing, he ran away due to the poor supervision of the children of the Lu family, and now the disciple has been dealt with by family law.
The second thing seems to the outside world that the response of the Lu family is too perfunctory, you are a dignified Lu family who can't even look down on a full-sex old man, who will believe it? This is obviously a ghost! The Lu family colluded with the whole sex, and the Lu family released Lu Sheng, the devil, to harm the world...... The Lu family is facing a small half of the rivers and lakes, and the successive questions and questions are forced towards Lu Liang.
But Lu Ci is not used to this group of people, this kind of thing has touched his bottom line, under his instructions, the children of the Lu family have no scruples about those who run to their own territory to speak disrespectfully, and they just beat most of this group of people away. The rest of those with extraordinary status and background naturally can't move, Lu Ci has repeatedly denied the rumors of catching Lu Sheng at this time, and has placed a heavy reward, as long as he reports Lu Sheng's whereabouts to the Lu family, the Lu family will be grateful after confirmation.
However, for a period of time after the Gao family incident, Lu Sheng disappeared as if out of thin air, and never appeared again. During this period, many people were arrested, and it is said that they did not reveal any useful information after being tortured.
However, these have nothing to do with Tang Muzhi for the time being, he has entered the Tang Mound again, but this time it is not a punishment for facing the wall, he wants to do something that looks extremely glorious in the Tang Sect - he wants to inherit Dan Yu!
Before this, Tang Muzhi clarified the defects of the Daluo Cave View to the elders in the sect, and Yang Lie was no longer worried that the invincible nature of the Dan Devouring would be changed after the spread of this contemplation, and he had been invincible with the Dan Devouring over the years, and at the same time, there was also a doubt in his heart, that is, whether the Eight Wonder Techniques could crack the Dan Devour?
Now Yang Lie can at least be sure that this half of the Da Luo Cave View alone will not work, because in order to quickly see through the Dan Swallow, or predict the timing of the release of the Dan Devour in wartime, the Da Luo Cave View must at least reach the point of "True View".
But only this half of the Da Luo Cave Temple, there are not many people in the world who can practice, and even Gao Hong and Gao Shi have been immersed in the Da Luo Cave Temple for many years, I am afraid that they have not dared to take the step of detaching from reality and entering the "Da Luo Tian" - that is, they have not been able to achieve "unstained", not to mention the "True View" that may see through the secret of Dan Devouring in the future.
Everyone in the gate was both happy and full of regret, Dan Yu was still an inexplicable means at present, but their desire to let the Great Luo Cave Temple change the status quo of the Tang Gate was also frustrated. Zhang Wang and Tang Qiushan still maintained their original opinions, Tang Muzhi did not have to inherit Dan Yu, but in the end, they still failed to beat Tang Muzhi himself, and they had to give up.
Now it's not the situation where Zhang Huaiyi broke into the Tang Gate, outsiders can still walk out of the Tang Gate alive after seeing Dan Yu - a situation that has not appeared for thousands of years. Tang Muzhi's preparation for inheriting Dan Yan was only known to the high-level officials in the door and the seniors in the mound who were preparing for the inheritance of Dan Yan, and other sensitive people were just guessing.
Zhang Wang: "By the way, Muzhi, I called Xuan Cheng yesterday, and he said that you plan to marry Xiao Ye?" That's not an excuse you make for taking time off, is it? ”
As soon as Zhang Wang's words came out, many old people, including Yang Lie, suddenly cast their eyes on Tang Muzhi.
"And what's going on? Makiyuki, you kid still dare to hide it from us, right? ”
"Hehe, okay, Ye Kexin has stayed with you for a few years, and the evil disease has healed itself, and both of you will be people with deep luck after that, this is a God-given relationship!"
"Good boy, I'm just over twenty-two and I'm ready to get married, I can't see it on weekdays, I didn't expect you to be quite anxious!"
"Hey......
Tang Muzhi's face did not change and said: "Of course it's true, otherwise wouldn't it stain Ke Xin'er's innocence?" Besides, haven't you been pleading about it...... However, I didn't tell her about inheriting Dan Yan, and she probably doesn't even know if I'm back to Tangmen now. ”
"Good! In this case, you are now entering the Tang Mound retreat to inherit the Dan Swallow, and you will marry Xiao Ye next month, and there must be no mistakes in any link! ”
All the elders in the door changed into loose white middle clothes and entered the Tang Mound with Tang Muyi.
This day is April 26, 2003, the twenty-fifth day of the third month of the lunar calendar, Ji Shenmingtang is on duty, rushing to the pig to the east, it is appropriate to marry, sacrifice, pray for blessings, and fast; Do not travel, repair graves, and bury.
Yang Lie and Tang Mu walked in front one after the other, and two people stood up and waited for them, one of them was a scrawny old man, his messy hair was all white, and his dark blue robes and linen trousers were shabby; The other one, like Yang Lie and Tang Muzhi, was wearing the white cotton shirt that Tang Men often wore when he practiced, and the placket was open, revealing a slightly sunken white shriveled chest - this was a middle-aged man.
Coincidentally, Tang Muzhi recognized these two people, and the old one was of course Xu Xin, the only person in the world who mastered Dan Swallowing; As for the middle-aged man, he is an inner disciple, called Tang Lesheng, and Tang Muzhi and Tang Ming are all people of the same generation.
One of the few times Tang Muzhi and Tang Lesheng met was during the time when he stayed in Tang Tomb for Tiefang Mountain for half a year, Tang Muzhi didn't know his name at that time, and it was only later that he slowly learned a little about Tang Lesheng - he has been staying in Tang Tomb all these years and has never stepped out.
Don't get me wrong, Tang Lesheng is different from Xu Xin, he didn't commit any crimes, but as an assassin, he has suffered many setbacks in this way, and when he fell into deep suspicion about the Tang Sect and his own family, he saw Dan Yu - and he couldn't extricate himself from it ever since!
At that time, Tang Lesheng was only in his early thirties, and he stayed in Tang Tomb for more than ten years, just to master Dan Yu and reach the highest level of assassins.
People have a paranoid side, and in the more traditional groups of aliens, this paranoia is intuitively manifested in their pursuit of improving their own strength and various bizarre skills. For the sake of the Eight Wonder Skills, many people in the circle can abandon their wives and children, and put aside their dignity and face, but often those who make great sacrifices and sacrifices in this way make it more and more difficult to get what they want.
Tang Muzhi raised his eyes to look at Tang Lesheng, the light in the Tang mound had been dim for a long time, Tang Lesheng's skin was white and scary, the two looked at each other, Tang Muzhi immediately understood, this person was afraid that there was nothing else in his eyes except Dan Yu, his expression was serious, his eyes were almost dull, but he was hidden under that kind of sluggishness, and there was a heart that had never been worn out for more than ten years, a heart that was born to master Dan Yu, or become a sacrifice of Dan Yu!
"Tang Lesheng, have you thought about it?" Yang Lie looked at him and said coldly: "It has been more than thirteen years since you entered the Tang Mound in the late winter of 1989, and you have not been able to see the light for a long time, and your body functions have begun to deteriorate. ”
Zhang Wang, Tang Miaoxing and others also put deep eyes on Tang Lesheng, and ordinary people will inevitably feel a sense of retreat when they are stared at by these gazes.
But Tang Lesheng was still expressionless, he spoke, his voice was hoarse and even a little obscure, like a dying old man, but he looked extremely firm.
He said, "Death without regret!" ”
Tang Muzhi immediately reacted, this is in order for Yang Lie to make him mentally prepared for Dan Yan, let Tang Lesheng try to inherit Dan Yan first, and if he succeeds, he will bring extremely valuable experience to Tang Muzhi; Failed, the tragic death after being counterattacked by Dan Devour will give Yang Lie a chance, a chance to test whether Tang Muzhi will waver, if he wavers and fails to meet Yang Lie's expectations, then the matter of inheriting Dan Devouring will probably have to be pushed back for a while.
Thinking of this, Tang Muzhi looked at Tang Lesheng's gaze, although it did not change, but he already had a feeling of compassion for it in his heart, he knew that the person in front of him who had given up his life for Dan Yan was likely to usher in a tragic ending today, but the benefits of his life and death would benefit him Tang Muzhi!
Xu Xin, who was on the side of the "......", did not speak, and his eyes narrowed into a gap that was extremely difficult to see.
Yang Lie nodded indifferently, with a majestic demeanor: "The old rules of the Tang Sect, adjust your heart and calm down, and the time starts!" ”
Zi Shi refers to the night from 11 o'clock to 1 o'clock, also known as "human time", this moment is the time when Yang Qi starts all things to breed, and people are the spirit of all things, so under the pretense of being called people, the theory of ups and downs of Chinese medicine qi machine believes that the qi of the human body is born from the child time every day, which is the best time for the general alien to refine Qi.
Tang Lesheng meditated on the spot, and the thin sunlight of the sunset was shining in above the cave sky, and in the caves around the cave sky, some people gradually sensed the solemn atmosphere in the air and came out.
Tang Muzhi, Yang Lie and the others all sat cross-legged around Tang Lesheng, none of the Tang disciples who came out of the customs made a sound, and after being surprised, they sat down around Tang Lesheng very tacitly.
In the middle of the Tang Mound Cave, under the towering stone carvings of the Dan Devouring Map, more than a dozen people, old or young, fat or thin, all sat silently with their hearts facing the sky at this time.
Tang Muzhi heard a faint sound of wind coming from outside the cave sky, the leaves flapped against each other, the birds jumped and screamed, and the faint moonlight shone directly down from above the cave sky, enveloping Tang Lesheng and Tang Muzhi and the others closest to him.
Tang Muzhi saw the Dan devouring diagram carved on the boulder above in the white and dim moonlight.
The Dan Devouring Diagram is the route that releases the Qi in the body of the person when the Dan Devouring is created, and it is also a path of extremely dangerous and tempting destruction.
Dan devouring, in reverse, is "devouring Dan", which requires sacrificing one's life, transporting Qi to modulate, and devouring itself into "Dan".
The time had come, and Tang Lesheng, who had been meditating with his eyes closed, finally made a move, or his aura suddenly began to change, gradually moving from silence and purity to chaos and distortion - he began to refine the Dan Devour!
Everyone opened their eyes out of the fixed realm, Tang Muzhi used the physical eye and the method of observation to eliminate the things around him one by one, and at this time, his whole body's attention was focused on Tang Lesheng.
The distorted atmosphere had risen, Tang Lesheng's body seemed to be about to melt, and the Qi body with strange rules and attributes gushed out from the Qi point of the body, eroding and spreading to the surroundings.
Whew-
The distorted situation was still expanding, and the center was Tang Lesheng's sitting body. Tang Muzhi and everyone in the mound were surrounded by this twisted and terrifying monstrous sense of threat, and their bodies involuntarily produced physiological reactions such as the enlargement of the child's holes, the trembling of the lips, the paleness of the face, and the pause in breathing...... This kind of terror lasted for a long time, and Tang Lesheng's figure sitting cross-legged was as solid as a rock, without the slightest movement.
Until the faint moonlight was covered by heavy dark clouds, the terrifying atmosphere that enveloped the entire Tang Mound disappeared without warning, and even the perception of Tang Lesheng's divine consciousness with everyone became imperceptible.
If it weren't for the naked eye, no one would be able to notice that there was a living person not far ahead. The atmosphere fell into extreme silence, and I don't know how long it took, everyone who was immersed in this extreme silence suddenly felt the flow of Qi on Tang Lesheng's body.
Tang Muzhi was still staring at him intently, from Tang Lesheng's eyebrows on the dantian, the place where the gods were hidden, a faint Qi light rose, and then, at his middle dantian, the true qi sprouted and rotated from the middle acupoint, gradually leaving a vortex Qi trail on the middle dantian.
At the same time, the Qi line issued by the upper dantian is facing downward, bypassing the middle dantian, along the Yu Mansion, or Zhong, Shenzang, Lingxu, Shenfeng, walking corridor, straight down from the pyloric gate and the Qi of the lower dantian hook and merge, the middle belly, Jianli, the lower belly, the water, and finally the Qi Xing Shenque acupoint, a picture of the human body Dan devouring is thus completed, and obvious traces of the Qi appear in front of Tang Lesheng...... The Qi has been completed, and then this trace has begun to gradually disappear from the bottom up, and finally only a little Qi light in the center of the eyebrows remains, which lasts for a long time and then slowly extinguishes.
Yang Lie was still staring at Tang Lesheng, his face was not shocked, but he let out a light sigh in his heart. As that glimmer of light dissipated, Tang Lesheng's whole person seemed to have lost his color, and it was visibly gray.
