Chapter 281: Ancestral Hall

Under the dark sky, between the snow, the water flows quietly.

Near the shore, a large expanse of ice has already appeared, and it may not be long before the entire waterway will be frozen

The sky was still covered in dark clouds.

The snow was falling and the cold wind was howling.

An elegant man stood quietly at the water's edge, letting the ice and snow fall on his body, and then turned into water stains and dripped down the cracks in his coat.

He folded his hands behind his back and looked into the distance shrouded in wind and snow, his expression gentle and his gaze calm.

Swish......

Suddenly, ripples rippled on the calm waters.

In an instant, the wind stopped and the snow stopped within a few feet.

A petite figure shrouded in a black robe quietly appeared in front of the man.

"Lord Icefall, there is no news of Princess Desolate Miao and Master Lei of the Red Thunder Department, and the last place where they appeared is near the Qizhou Mansion City."

The black-robed woman coughed a few times, took out a small porcelain bottle, poured a few pills from it, and put it in her mouth.

After a pause, she continued, "My subordinates sent people to inquire about the news in many ways, and learned that there was a battle in the Qizhou Jiedu Envoy's Mansion a few days ago, and there was rumbling thunder coming from it, and it is very likely that Master Lei is fighting with the Great Zhou Warriors. ”

"Huang Miao was born in the Golden Horde, and since she was a child, she has been surrounded by sycophants and flatterers, which makes her a little unable to see herself, thinking that everything in the world should be dominated by her, but she doesn't want to be nothing at all after she gets out of the Northern Wilderness."

The man sighed and slowly withdrew his gaze, "But the king has many children, and if a princess dies, she will die, which is an inconsequential matter."

The only pity is that because she also caught up with the master of the Red Thunder Department, it is also a regrettable loss. ”

When he said this, his words suddenly changed, "On the way south from the Northern Wilderness, you fought with the Southern Frontier Grandmaster on the side of the White Underworld Mountain, how did you recover from your injuries?" ”

"It's no big deal, heal is just a few days."

The black-robed woman smiled faintly, "He exchanged one palm for three stitches for me, but he didn't know that I had a treasure armor to protect my body, and he didn't damage the foundation, but unfortunately this person immediately fled away when he saw that the situation was not good, and his speed was so fast that I couldn't catch up." ”

"After being hit by your three ghost stabs, even if you are a martial arts master who is incarnated as a celestial and human being, if you don't die, you will lose half your life, and it is not enough to worry about encountering it again in the future."

Icefall slowly exhaled a mouthful of white mist, and the hands in his sleeves each formed a different seal, and the whole person seemed to be one with the ice and snow.

Yu Li stopped talking, and looked with him at the distance shrouded in snow.

The wind and snow grew heavier, enveloping the two of them as if they had become two lifeless corpses.

Little by little, time passed.

A few black-feathered and red-eyed crows circled above to observe, and finally landed towards the river, ready to enjoy the delicious meal they had been waiting for for a long time.

However, before they could get within three feet of the man, their bodies suddenly stiffened, and they fell to the ground like stones, and the surface was covered with a layer of blue ice crystals, which looked like lifelike ice sculptures.

The man opened his eyes at this moment, "You have been to Mizusawa before going south this time, what is the situation of the Holy Master now?" ”

As if suddenly he came to life, his eyes turned slightly, and he looked up at the dark sky.

She fell into thought and said slowly, "The Holy Master is becoming more and more unpredictable, I stood on the edge of the blood pool, looking at that strange face, and there was an inexplicable feeling of fear in my heart, as if I was facing the new king of the Northern Wilderness.

Also, this time I went to Shengzexin Island to meet the Holy Master, and she asked me to go to Luoshui, Qizhou, to find the things left behind by Guishu's imitation, which was built thirty years ago under the mountain villa. ”

Speaking of this, her brows furrowed, and her tone was puzzled, "I don't understand, Gui Shufang has been dead for a long time, since the Holy Master knows about this, why hasn't he looked for it for so many years, but he has to suddenly mention it today, thirty years later." ”

"Also, when the Holy Master talked about this matter, the faces on the left and right sides were completely different, giving me the feeling that she had really become two people, and even the spiritual silk surrounding the blood pool became a little twisted and violent."

Icefall frowned slightly, "In your opinion, what is the most likely scenario?" ”

"After coming out of the island of hearts, I thought about it for a long time, but I never found an answer that could convince me."

Yu Li's eyes flickered, and he considered the wording, "But from what I know about the Holy Master, she hasn't mentioned the thing hidden in the mountain villa before, and the best possible thing is to let it hide deep underground and not see the light of day."

At this time, we suddenly let us take a trip, maybe it is related to the changes in her, the so-called time changes, and the times are different. ”

Icefall was silent for a long time, with an inexplicable smile on his face, "In that case, I'll go with you to take a look." ”

Yu Li was surprised, "Actually, I can go alone, doesn't Lord Icefall have other things?" ”

He turned around slowly and headed south along the river, "Because I'm also a little curious, what is buried under that mountain villa that can make the Holy Master remember it until now."

Perhaps this is also an opportunity, which allows me to get a glimpse of the path taken by Gui Shufang back then, and then deduce the deepest secrets hidden by the Holy Master from it, so that it can provide me with more reference value for the path of Yin and Yang Sheng. ”

The night was already deep.

The wind and snow shrouded the entire Qizhou capital city.

The streets outside were deserted, except for the lights on the gambling house, and the rest of the place was dark and silent, and people had already shrunk under the covers and fell asleep.

In the room, Wei Tao's eyes were half-open and half-closed, and his divine light flashed.

A looming golden armor phantom appeared inside.

There is also a strand of scarlet silk that winds and wafts in the dark, very agile.

And as time goes on, the number of crimson filaments that need to be controlled grows more and longer.

It is necessary to outline a variety of complex textures, so the amount of energy expended increases rapidly.

What's more, while driving the silk, he must also maintain the perception of the vajra secret method's mystical spiritual intent, and under such a distraction, the difficulty is even more than several times more than once.

Syllable!

Without warning, Wei Tao's eyes moved slightly, and everything instantly zeroed in at this moment.

He sighed lowly, drank the carefully condensed medicinal tea, and sat down in his chair in deep thought.

After returning home from the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion, this has been an attempt he doesn't know how many times, and each time it has ended in failure, and even with the exhaustion of his spirit, he has become more and more dull and sluggish.

Wei Tao closed his eyes, and that golden light resurfaced in his mind.

Perceive it to make lines with points, form planes with lines, and finally form the golden armor phantom with countless mystical patterns.

His eyebrows were throbbing, and his temples were swollen and aching like pins and needles.

But he still endured the sadness of being bored and nauseated, and went deep into it to perceive it carefully, and even did not let go of the line direction, turning angle, and even the size of each line.

Little by little, time passed.

Two lines of blood crept out from between the mouth and nose.

Ticking to the chest, the snow-white clothes are soaked in scarlet plum blossoms.

"If you want to hurry, you can't continue, and then you may hurt yourself if you force your senses, and when the time comes, the consequences of mental trauma and delusion will come, and the consequences will be unimaginable."

Wei Tao opened his eyes at this moment, raised his hand to wipe the blood from his lips, calmed down, and adjusted his breathing little by little.

This is only the mystical spiritual intent of the Vajra Secret Method, and it is already so difficult that it will not see the dawn of success.

Then, if according to his vision, if he really wanted to truly reproduce the virtual image of the golden lotus blooming, stepping on the Xuan Turtle, and cultivating the snake, the difficulty would simply increase exponentially, and there would be almost no possibility of success in the foreseeable future.

When Wei Tao thought of this, he even had some doubts about whether he wanted to use the silk simulation to reproduce the spiritual intent of the Xuan Thought, whether it was a whimsical move.

However, when the silk meanders and swims, depicting a complex pattern, you can perceive the true meaning of the Vajra secret method if there is nothing, it means that there should be no problem with the general direction.

The real problem is that he is not capable enough to achieve a perfect reproduction without any difference, and really go through this road.

After a short rest, Wei Tao unfolded the picture scrolls one by one and laid out the table.

Starting with the Red Line Secret Catalogue and the Blood Lotus Catalogue, all the way to the abstract and distorted Moon Washing Catalogue.

Then he retracted his thoughts and immersed himself in them.

Before he knew it, he had forgotten the passage of time.

It wasn't until a soft click came from the courtyard outside that his meditation was interrupted.

Wei Tao put away the picture scroll and came to the outside of the hospital to check the situation.

Only to find out that it was a dead branch that was crushed by the snow and fell to the ground.

"Sir."

A figure appeared silently from the shadows and bowed slightly.

"Master Shang has worked hard."

Wei Tao looked up at the snowflakes, took a deep breath of the cool and moist air, and felt the cold silence of the winter night.

"Sir seems to have a difficult doubt." Shang Bian slowly followed behind and said thoughtfully.

Wei Tao stopped in the middle of the courtyard and let the wind and snow envelop his body.

He thought for a moment, and suddenly asked, "What was Master Shang's feeling when he was at the Iron Leg Gate, when he was looking at the Blood Lotus Catalog?" ”

Shang Bian was silent for a moment, then sighed with a smile, "At that time, my subordinates had ordinary talent and qualifications, and they were unable to sustain when they only cultivated to the level of refining muscles, at most they touched the threshold of blood coagulation, so they didn't have the opportunity to observe the Blood Lotus Catalogue at all. ”

After a pause, he seemed to fall into his memory, and after a long time he continued, "But when it comes to the feeling of visualizing the catalogue, I was fortunate enough to hear a few words when the teacher was teaching Senior Brother.

What the teacher means is that after cultivating the mountain leg to achieve the consummation of blood coagulation, there is a key thing to remember when visualizing the Blood Lotus Catalogue, that is, God cares first, the intention comes first, the mind is first, the divine will is in harmony, and the mystery is self-revealed. ”

"God is the first to care, the first is to the form, the will of God is combined, and the mystery is self-revealed."

Wei Tao was a little stunned, completely attracted all the attention of these sixteen words, and even what Shang Bian said next, he didn't have the slightest impression at all.

It wasn't until a layer of snow fell on his body that he slowly exhaled a mouthful of white mist, and a little happy smile appeared on his face, "Master Shang's words are worth a thousand gold, and they woke me up in my dream."

It seems that I did take a detour before, and I need to change the direction of my efforts according to Master Shang's prompts. ”

At this moment, Wei Tao inexplicably felt like he was being drunk, and he suddenly opened his mouth.

He'd been caught up in a mistake of being meticulously accurate and ignoring another, just as important.

That is, through these complex patterns, the golden light shuttles through them, why it can show the mystical and spiritual intent of the Vajra secret method, and what is the key to making them work.

In other words, it is not wrong to blindly pursue the accuracy of the grain, but to the extent that he can do it now, the main purpose should be to show the artistic conception.

As long as the goal can be achieved, as for the specific process in the middle and what methods and means are used to achieve it, it is no longer the whole focus of diligently pursuing.

There was a soft squeak.

Wei Tao returned to the room.

After a period of quiet rest, he started a new attempt again.

Swish!

A strand of scarlet silk snaked swam along the lines again, and soon manifested the looming true meaning of the Vajra Secret Method.

Wei Tao calmed down, focused on the ape, bolted the horse, and kept all distractions out.

No longer care about the gains and losses of details, nor do you pursue the accuracy of copying, even if there is a slight deviation, it doesn't matter, but focus on perceiving the potential of the secret method of the King Kong.

Find the relationship between the lines and lines, and even the different lines, and adjust the operation of the silk according to the changes in the artistic conception and the general trend.

In this way, the consumption of spirit is reduced a lot.

So that he can stick with it until the whole process is completed.

Finally, the red silk that carried his thoughts on the mystery stopped, forming a somewhat strange, even ugly image.

The next moment, all the tricks burned and disappeared without warning, leaving not the slightest trace.

Wei Tao stood there motionless, his eyes blank and his expression puzzled.

He was also a little unsure whether the last time he regained the Secret Method's Spiritual Intent was a success or another failure that he was accustomed to.

On the morning of the second day, Wei Tao came out of his home and went to the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion to confirm the situation after Feng Qingping began to practice the Vajra Secret Method.

When leaving, Feng Qingping's eyes were red and a little moist.

Ignoring the fact that the ground was full of mixed mud and snow, she bowed directly in front of Wei Tao, and touched her head to the ground and saluted, "Qingping thanks the great kindness of the Daozi, and this life must be a grass ring, so that she can report the grace of the son." ”

Wei Tao stood still and accepted Feng Qingping's worship.

After all, the law is not lightly preached, the Tao is not sold cheaply, the teacher is not on the way, and the doctor does not knock on the door.

The so-called one day as a teacher, a lifetime as a father, the master has something, and the disciple obeys it, is not just an empty word.

What's more, Feng Qingping was saved by him, and he taught the Fa to fight against delusional attacks, so this worship is sincere and sincere, and there is no falsehood at all.

Coming out of Feng's house, Wei Tao walked all the way along the snow-covered streets and alleys, exited the city from the south gate of Fucheng, and went straight to Luoshui.

After the night, the snowflakes turned into ice crystal chips and fell to the ground with a dense crisp sound.

Far away from the city wall behind him, his figure faded silently, as if completely integrated into the wind and snow, but it seemed to be wandering away, one moment still in the forest, the next moment he had crossed the river.

…………

…………

………………

Liu Qingyuan lay on the bed, covered with a quilt and slept quietly.

Perhaps because of her lack of breath, she was still snoring slightly, and her voice kept echoing in the bedroom.

With a soft squeak, Wei Tao pushed the door in.

Seeing the scene in front of him, he couldn't help frowning slightly.

And the next moment, the room went dark without warning.

I can barely see my fingers, and I can't see anything.

Wei Tao's spirit and spirit rose suddenly, and his qi and blood really ran spontaneously, but in the next moment, all of them converged and fell silent.

"I haven't seen you for a while, but Liu Qingyuan has broken through the mystery."

"So, in this situation, I should have fallen into her delusions like that personal maid."

"However, with the strength level of her new Xuansense, it is a little strange that she can lead me into delusion without realizing it."

Wei Tao's heart moved, and his eyes bloomed again.

In an instant, the darkness receded and the light appeared.

He exhaled softly, and looked at the sea of flowers that stretched to the end of his line of sight with some speechlessness.

Wei Tao also didn't expect that the delusions caused by Liu Qingyuan were almost exactly the same as him, and he couldn't find the essential difference.

There was even a woman in a white dress and a white dress, slowly emerging from the depths of the flowers and appearing in front of him.

Wei Tao's face was expressionless, and he observed carefully.

After a while, I suddenly noticed the biggest difference.

That is, in the delusion of Liu Qingyuan's manifestation, there was no white bone altar, let alone all kinds of chaotic sounds related to it.

After a moment, the woman in white turned around and walked towards the depths of the sea of flowers.

As she leaves, the flowers part, left and right, automatically forming a path that leads into the distance.

Wei Tao didn't hesitate too much and followed directly.

The two walked one after the other, constantly walking through the sea of flowers.

The sight around him was exactly the same, and it even made him feel like he was standing still all the time.

It wasn't until a dilapidated building with a dark body suddenly appeared in front of me that everything suddenly became completely different.

Wei Tao saw another flower in front of him.

Instead of the sea of flowers all over the mountains, he was in a gloomy stone hall, empty inside, only a wide and heavy coffin.

In front of the coffin, a dilapidated oil lamp burned quietly, and the miserable green flame flickered and flickered.

The woman in white and white dress walked to the coffin step by step, and then slowly lay in.

He watched this scene quietly, and suddenly waves rose in his heart.

"Liu Qingyuan's delusion is not a sea of flowers, but this dilapidated stone hall, if I guess correctly, it should be the ancestral hall of the Luocha clan."

"Thinking about it further, this woman in white clothes and white skirts, who has always been regarded by me as Sun Xiyue, may be the corpse enshrined in the ancestral hall of the Luocha clan."

"So, what could the Bone Altar be in my own delusion?"

Wei Tao's brows furrowed, and he fell into thought.

Unaware of the passage of time, the delusion of mystic sense gradually faded.

"When is the gentleman coming?"

It wasn't until Liu Qingyuan woke up from his dream that his contemplation was interrupted.

"I just arrived, and I'm about to take you to Gui Shufang's manor again."

Wei Tao found a chair and sat down, and asked casually, "When did you enter the Xuangan realm?" ”

"Xuangan?"

Liu Qingyuan couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and only said after a while, "If it wasn't for Mr. to mention it, I didn't even know that I had reached the level of Xuangan." ”

Wei Tao slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, "From practicing dirty to mysterious, you don't even feel a little bit?" ”

"The subordinates don't feel anything at all."

Liu Qingyuan thought about it and said slowly, "I'm sure that I was still practicing the dirty level before going to bed last night, could it be that after having a strange dream, I broke through the realm to the Xuan sense?" ”

"What dreams did you have, can you still remember them?" Wei Tao asked.

Liu Qingyuan sighed, and his expression suddenly became a little strange, "I dreamed that I was sleeping. ”

After a pause, she added, "It was an empty and dilapidated room, with no furniture in it, only a coffin, and I slept soundly in it."

Then I suddenly woke up for some reason, and saw my husband appear in the stone house and come to me.

And after seeing him, I really woke up and realized that I was really sleeping. ”

She looked left and right, and even pinched her arm a few times, "I won't still be awake until now, I'm still dreaming." ”

Suddenly, without warning, she was silent, and the movements of her hands stopped.

After being silent for a long time, Liu Qingyuan slowly raised his head, his eyes were full of solemnity, and his expression was a little painful and confused.

"No, no, there's a very important thing that I can't remember."

"Something must have happened last night, before I fell asleep, and now I don't have any impression."

She jumped out of bed, ignoring that she was only wearing a thin shirt, and went barefoot into the snowstorm outside.

I kept looking for something in the yard.

Wei Tao followed behind and helped her put on a white fur coat.

At this moment, Liu Qingyuan was stunned suddenly, subconsciously rubbing the smooth and supple fur, and muttered to himself, "Last night, someone should have come to look for me, and there is still the smell of that person on this dress." ”

Her brows furrowed, and her whole body was a little distracted.

The mouth is still chattering, "Mysterious feelings, delusions, tricky silk ......"

"The man said, that's not how Silk works!"

As he spoke, Liu Qingyuan raised his head suddenly, "Sir, that person found me and mentioned the mysterious silk, do you say that he has the same purpose as you, that is, to come to the manor of Gui Shufang!?" ”
