Qinglin Mountain, Guanyuntai.

A ray of sunlight pierced through the clouds and slanted down, reflecting the entire stone platform in a faint gold.

The stone table on the edge of the viewing platform is still broken.

Even the stone bench is missing.

Ning Xuanzhen sat still, withdrew his gaze looking at the northern sky, and said in a calm tone, "I still remember that the head of the palace sat opposite and talked to me about things that were troubled by Xuannian. ”

"What did the teacher say?"

Ni Yan stood aside, his face calm and peaceful.

The golden sunlight fell on her, reflecting a slender shadow behind her.

and the necklace she wears, which becomes more and more crystal clear in such an environment, casting a hazy and dreamy light.

"I haven't found a solution for so many years, so I can't give her better advice."

Ning Xuanzhen sighed slowly, "In the end, I can only give her a boil word and wait for the arrival of the turnaround." ”

Suddenly there was a lot of illusions in front of him, Ni Yan closed his eyes, still maintaining a peaceful expression, "What if the turnaround never comes?" ”

"The turnaround has never come, so let's keep going."

Ning Xuanzhen glanced at his closed disciple, "If you don't give up, there is still hope, and when the hope is also worn out little by little, you may be able to adapt to this kind of day by day life."

The so-called habit becomes natural, just like eating and drinking, and being at ease. ”

Ni Yan smiled, "Is this how the teacher came?" ”

"The situation between me and the head of the palace is not quite the same."

Ning Xuanzhen was silent for a moment, "If I don't want to stay up, there are other roads to go, and it should be a very wide and smooth road."

It's just that I haven't taken that path for so many years, and I won't go in the future, so I can only continue to survive. ”

"Does the teacher regret it when he looks back?"

"What do you regret, what do you regret about the path I chose."

Ning Xuanzhen laughed, and looked up at the sky in the north again, "You are still the one who doesn't care about everything, the old man has told you so much, won't you care about asking me, what kind of road is the wide road, and what kind of pain do you have to endure on the thorny path?" ”

"If the teacher wants to say something, he will naturally explain it directly to the disciple, if he doesn't want to say it, why should the disciple ask more?"

Ni Yan said and slowly opened his eyes and looked towards the north together, "But today, after the teacher's guidance, the disciple suddenly had some understanding, only to find that the teacher's worries in recent years were actually related to the Great Brahma of the Northern Wilderness. ”

Ning Xuanzhen nodded slightly, "After the battle of the Northern Wilderness forty years ago, the master was seriously injured, thinking that the master was hopeless in this life, and even had to die in pain in the torment of all kinds of delusions.

As a result, he clearly perceived and captured the mysteries of this sect in the dark, and then cultivated to enter the realm and changed day by day, until he broke through the barrier and reached the realm of the grandmaster who was incarnated by heaven and man. ”

Speaking of this, he sighed, "But just after becoming a martial arts master, I practiced the sympathy of heaven and man, but I found that the true meaning of the profound mind of the self-righteous martial arts was actually the spiritual intent of Brahma, and it took root and sprouted in my body, growing and growing.

Then there is endless confrontation and torture, even if I have been boiling all the way to the anode realm of cathode and yang, I still haven't seen the end of the darkness receding. ”

"Great Brahma Birth Heavenly Spiritual Will?"

She fell into thought, "The disciples went down the mountain some time ago and clashed with the Northern Wilderness Warriors several times, and they can indeed feel a little different artistic conception from the Great Zhou Warriors, which should be the embodiment of Brahma Spirit's intention on them."

And after stepping into the realm of Xuangan, the disciple has also been thinking about what the Brahma spiritual will of the Northern Wilderness is, and why there is no such situation on the ground where we live. ”

"Brahma's spiritual will, it's not a thing."

A faint mist surged, Ning Xuanzhen reached out and rubbed the cold tabletop, his tone seemed to be a little distracted.

"If you put it simply, you can think that it has no consciousness, no feeling, no emotion, and no substance, but it is closely related to the various departments of the Northern Wilderness, especially with the cultivators in the various departments."

"However, one thing that can be made clear is that the current Great Brahma is not at the same level at all when compared with the legends that have survived from ancient times to the present in the Northern Wilderness.

If you are more close, Brahma in the Northern Wilderness a hundred years ago still had the saying of divine will, not the so-called Brahma spiritual will now.

Why did it change from divine will to spiritual will, in the eyes of the teacher, it should be related to Emperor Wu of the Great Zhou Dynasty to send the Southern Xinjiang Grandmaster to the north and break through the Golden Horde of the Northern Wilderness. ”

"As for why Da Zhou doesn't have a similar situation."

Ning Xuanzhen sighed lowly, "I've been thinking about this question for decades, and I've looked through many classics during this time, but I still haven't really figured out the key.

If Tan'er just wants an explanation, Weishi suggests that you go to Senior Sister Yu, she has a lot of stories where you can kill time, you go and look through it, maybe you can suddenly open up. ”

"I don't know just don't know, and it's too irresponsible for the teacher to speak."

Ni Yan said with a smile, but his voice gradually became lower, "If the teacher hadn't chosen to fight against Brahma's spiritual will, wouldn't there be the corresponding torture?" ”

"Without confrontation, naturally there will be no torture, and there will even be a greater opportunity waiting for me to reach out and take it."

Quietly, the shrouded mist dissipated, revealing the thin and lifeless figure inside.

Ning Xuanzhen shook his head and said in a calm tone, "But, if that's the case, I won't be me anymore." ”

"Maybe it will become a puppet like the walking dead, or it may end worse than a puppet."

Ni Yan frowned slightly, "There are many tribes in the Northern Wilderness, and there is also a secret sect inheritance, why did Brahma Lingyi find the teacher's body?" ”

"As a teacher, I also want to know what Brahma Lingyi has taken a fancy to me, and I still don't let it go when I'm old."

Ning Xuanzhen said this, his expression became serious, "You are somewhat similar to the teacher when you were young, but you are more spiritual than me, and you can be regarded as the strongest Taoist in this sect in the past hundred years.

Therefore, after entering the realm of Xuangan, you must pay attention to screening the mysteries corresponding to the secret record of the mixed yuan of this sect, and don't take a wrong step like the teacher, and almost lose everything. ”

"What the teacher said, the disciple should keep in mind."

Ni Yan nodded, but shook his head again, "But what the teacher said about the strongest Dao in this sect is no longer me, but should be Senior Brother Wei." ”

Ning Xuanzhen just smiled when he heard this, "The old man sees that the two of you are not distinguishing from each other, and he will not have any opinion when he says that you are the strongest."

In the future, whether he becomes the Taoist master or you take the position of teacher, there will be no disputes because of this. ”

He set his eyes on the necklace and turned his words without warning, "This is his gift to you?" ”

Ni Yan pursed his lips and smiled, "Senior Brother Wei has a good eye, it can help me calm my mind and reduce the torment of many mysterious delusions. ”

"Wei Daozi went to the Northern Wilderness, but he sent treasures from Southern Xinjiang, I'm afraid it took a lot of thought."

Ning Xuanzhen took another look, and suddenly asked again, "Last time, Yan'er went to Qizhou Mansion City, did you see the elders of Wei Daozi's family?" ”

Before Ni Yan could speak, an old woman's voice came from far and near from under the steps.

"What Senior Brother Ning said doesn't look like the head of the family."

Granny Yu had already come to the cloud viewing platform while she was talking, "When I have some time, you and I should go down the mountain to meet Brother Tao's parents and sit down and talk in detail."

First, they are also our family members of Qinglin Mountain Daozi, and they should have been invited to the mountain as guests.

Second, Xiaowan is a girl's family, and some things should be justified by our mothers' parents. ”

Granny Yu was stunned, turned her head to look at Ni Yan, and her voice suddenly softened, "Let's do this thing, Brother Tao is a piece of wood, and the old woman is actually responsible, so you don't have to worry about anything next, your mother-in-law will help you think about it." ”

"Senior Sister Yu's lesson is right, but the junior brother is not thoughtful."

"Then wait for Xiao Tao to come back, and the old man will ...... again"

Ning Xuanzhen's voice stopped abruptly at this moment.

He was silent and lost in thought.

After a long time, he exhaled lightly and let out a turbid breath, "Senior Sister Yu, this matter still needs to be put aside first." ”

Granny Yu's eyes flashed, and she turned around and looked north, "Did the Dao Master find something?" ”

Ning Xuanzhen waved his hand and said to Ni Yan, "Regarding the cultivation points of the Mixed Yuan Secret Record of this sect, the master has already sorted out and completed most of them, and there is still a little tail in the end, you can try to improve it with Senior Sister Heyu."

Also, about the secret method of vajra cultivated by Wei Tao, the old man also thought a lot during this time, and the recorded experience was also placed in the Qinglin Palace. ”

In the following period, he explained many things in detail.

It's almost all about it, one by one.

Ni Yan listened silently, his expression becoming more and more calm.

Finally couldn't help but speak, "The teacher is in his prime, why do you want to talk to your disciples about these things?" ”

Ning Xuanzhen was silent for a moment, and said with a gentle smile, "There is an aura that carries the spiritual intent of Brahma, and it has traveled all the way from north to south, and now it has reached the ground of Qizhou.

In addition, it seems that there are guests from the land of the dead, who are coming along the river and wading through the water.

As the master of Yuanyi, the old man naturally wanted to go over to say hello to them, so as not to snub the guests from Beihuang and Qinglian. ”

Ni Yan lowered his eyes, "Even the teacher is not sure?" ”

Ning Xuanzhen slowly got up and walked down towards the Guanyun Terrace, "The Anode Sect is a life-and-death confrontation, fighting for a glimmer of life, before the final victory is decided, no one dares to say that there is a 100% certainty.

What's more, I still don't know who the other party is and what kind of hole card killing moves, so it's better to make more preparations in advance. ”

Outside Luoshui City, in the view of the breeze.

Li Kun set up a sumptuous table, and in addition to him, there was only Wei Tao sitting alone.

The two drank a glass of wine, and Li Kun held the pot with his own hand and poured the empty wine cup.

Then he sighed with emotion, "I still remember when Daozi was in the view, many things are still vivid, as if it just happened yesterday." ”

Wei Tao smiled slightly, "The style of the viewer is still the same, and his complexion is good, and he looks a little younger than before." ”

When he said this, his eyes flashed, "I haven't seen you for a few months, and it turns out that the viewer has stepped into the mystical sense." ”

"There's a little weirdness about it."

Li Kun drank another glass of wine, and a puzzled expression appeared on his face.

"Don't hide it from Daozi, a long time ago, the old man had already pushed open the door to enter Xuangan, but after stepping in with one foot, he didn't want to be eroded by the delusion, so he immediately retreated and closed the door by the way.

If a few years passed, the old way can eat, drink and sleep, everything is quite fine, but one night a few days ago, I seemed to have a dream, and when I woke up, I found that I had unconsciously entered the mysteries again, and until now I am still a little unconvinced. ”

"What dream did the Lord have?"

Wei Tao asked casually, inexplicably thinking of Feng Qingping in Qizhou City.

Li Kun rubbed the smooth porcelain cup, recalled and said slowly, "I dreamed that I went to the Green Bamboo Garden where Daozi lived, and then I met a person there, and I said a few words to that person, and nothing else.

But the dream was so real, it was as if I had actually gone to Green Bamboo Garden after dinner that day and met that mysterious person. ”

Wei Tao nodded, "Since I'm here, I'll go back to the Green Bamboo Garden today to spend the night and see what kind of bull ghost snake god dares to disturb the Qing cultivation of the Lord." ”

"Daozi doesn't have to think about it, there should be nothing wrong."

Li Kun raised his glass again, "Lao Dao also thought about it carefully later, maybe it was because I had pressed the realm for a long time, and I really couldn't be a shrinking turtle anymore, and I continued to coil down at the level of cultivating dirty perfection, so I was unconsciously eroded by delusions, and I fell into a sense of mystery in my sleep." ”

After a while, it was getting late.

The two of them walked along the Qingfeng Temple until they came to the gate of the Green Bamboo Garden.

Li Kun said, "Old Dao has already prepared the Qinglin Palace, and it is better for Daozi to live over there." ”

"It's okay, I like the environment of Green Bamboo Garden."

Wei Tao waved his hand and pushed the door directly in, "There is also this practice room, and it is also very interesting to practice in it, today is just to relive the feeling when I was brave and diligent, breaking through the six turns of qi and blood." ”

"Since that's the case, then the old Tao won't bother the Tao."

Li Kun stopped in front of the door, "What medicinal herb pills do you need for Daozi's cultivation, I'll send them to someone." ”

"Then bother the Guan Lord to prepare some pills that replenish qi and benefit the yuan, and there is no need for anything else."

A quarter of an hour later.

Wei Tao exhaled a fiery breath, and everything in the entire small building seemed to vibrate slightly.

He pushed the door open and exited, took a deep breath of cold air, and looked up at the somewhat hazy moonlight.

Suddenly there was a soft squeak.

The main entrance of the Green Bamboo Garden was gently pushed open.

A Qingfeng Guan disciple walked in from the outside with a medicine box.

"Daozi, this is the pill that the Lord Guan has prepared for you."

"Thank you for your hard work."

"It is a disciple's honor to be able to do things for Daozi."

The Qingfeng Guan disciple bowed, "If Daozi has no other instructions, the disciple will retire first." ”

"It's nothing, you can go back and rest."

Wei Tao stretched out his hand to take the medicine box, turned around and was about to walk towards the practice room.

I was still silently distracted in my heart, thinking that I should start practicing and improving from that exercise later.

After taking a few steps, he stopped without warning and looked back again.

The disciple had already walked to the door, but he stopped at the same time, bowed again, and bowed again, "If there is anything else Daozi has to do, just order it directly." ”

"You're not a Qingfeng Guan disciple."

Wei Tao casually put down the pill box full of pills and slowly turned his body, "You are a martial artist from the Northern Wilderness. ”

"Wei Daozi has good eyesight, I want to know how you saw the clue."

Even if his identity was revealed, the man did not have any panicked expression, but straightened his robe, and asked with a calm expression.

As he spoke, his voice became different from just now, a little hoarse and dry.

"You look so alike, you almost fooled me."

Wei Tao sighed lowly, "But as an ordinary Qingfeng Guan disciple, it is impossible for me to have such light steps, and I didn't notice it until I got close to the gate of the courtyard.

What's more, your companion was so anxious that he sneaked into the building while we were talking, and naturally couldn't hide it from me when I was already suspicious. ”

He said slowly, but his voice involuntarily lowered, and his eyes were even a little dazed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Being able to become a sect is really not comparable to ordinary people, at least in terms of perception, it is quite admirable."

There was another soft squeak, and a middle-aged woman walked out of the small building of Green Bamboo Garden.

"I said that you should take the person down first, and then interrogate about the whereabouts of that thing, but Longyu, you have to do some other useless fancy methods, and you have wasted too much time for no reason."

As she spoke slowly, she stopped ten paces away, and surrounded Wei Tao in the middle with her companions.

Long Yu sighed lowly, "In the doctrine I abide by, every time I kill someone, the soul of the other party will be entwined with it.

So my principle is not to do it if I can, and even if I need to do it as a last resort, I will try not to take people's lives, but only to seriously injure people, and leave a breath for them to die by themselves. ”

"Then I'll do it, and you'll do the rest of the cleanup." The middle-aged woman nodded, obviously accustomed to her companion's style.

"You have to be careful, this person is very powerful."

Long Yu narrowed his eyes, his gaze did not leave Wei Tao's left and right, "Since he is a member of the Yuan, then in addition to the six turns of Xuanyuan, he must be good at mixing the Yuan secret record, this method is cultivated to the depths of the qi and the machine is integrated, it can be called a leakless true body, it is not easy to break it." ”

"Don't worry, I also know something about the Mixed Yuan Secret Record."

The middle-aged woman chuckled and disappeared without warning.

When he reappeared, he had already come behind Wei Tao, and he opened his five fingers like dead branches and grabbed them.

"He can't be scared stupid."

"How did this state of mind become a sectarian, and how can it allow Brahma's evil thoughts to surround his body?"

"I also asked me to be careful of the Mixed Yuan Secret Record, I want to see what kind of Mixed Yuan Secret Record he can perform in this situation."

The middle-aged woman's claw fell, and several thoughts flashed in her heart in an instant.

At the last moment, she even involuntarily collected some strength, for fear of catching him to death and losing the clue to find the blood lotus.

Click!

She pinched Wei Tao's neck without hindrance, and then made a slight force with her five fingers, about to subdue the person at once.

"Huh!?"

"How does it feel!?"

The sharp pain from her fingertips made her face change drastically, and she felt that what she had just pinched was not a human body, but a scorching black iron full of spikes and poison

"You, you, Donkey Kong Realm, Esoteric Master!?"

Chi Ying let go violently, took a few steps back uncontrollably, and looked down at his fleshy fingers, his heart full of surprise and fear.

Wei Tao shook his neck from side to side, making a crunchy sound.

Under the silver moonlight, the faint dark golden light flickered, and not even a trace of oily skin was rubbed off.

It was only at this point that he raised his head and glanced at each of the two Northern Desolate martial artists.

"You are just martial artists in the Xuangan realm, but it feels very strange to me."

Wei Tao exhaled lightly, his expression thoughtful, "I have been exploring for a long time just now, and I can be sure that only the two of you have infiltrated the vicinity of the Green Bamboo Garden.

But I don't know why, from the moment you stand here, I feel like there's a third person secretly watching my every move.

The last time I had this feeling, it was in the ruins of Gui Shufang's manor, and I was directly watched by the spiritual will of the Great Brahma Shengtian who fell from the sky, but when I thought about it carefully, there was still a slight difference. ”

"Forget it, my time is precious, and I'm in a hurry to go to retreat.

Therefore, it is better to take you down first, and then hand it over to Qingying, a professional, to interrogate and interrogate. ”

Before Wei Tao finished speaking, he suddenly disappeared in place.

Boom!

The ground shook suddenly.

Standing on the inside of the main entrance of the Green Bamboo Garden, he didn't say a word, and collapsed to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, a huge wind pressure fell on the head, pressing towards the red tasseled cover in front of the building.

Her consciousness went blank in horror.

I tried to turn around and run away, but I found that I couldn't even move my toes.

Under the pressure of the life-and-death crisis, Chi Ying suddenly stopped drinking, his right hand suddenly turned red, wrapped in the surging scorching airflow, and rose at the last moment, blocking the grab that fell from the sky.

Rumble!

The heat wave exploded, and the arm folded backwards.

Because of the blazing and severe pain, Chiying's originally graceful face became distorted and hideous.

A dark gold arm burst out of the heat, still clutching at her neck.

The red silver teeth clenched, and the left hand that could still move was raised like lightning, pulled out the crystal clear hairpin on the top of his head, and stabbed it hard.

Click!

The hairpin pierced the epidermis and was swept away, leaving only a faint red dot on the arm.

Rumble!

Wei Tao stepped out of the heat wave, gently took the non-ordinary hairpin in his hand, and at the same time grabbed her neck and lifted the person high.

He looked at Chi Ying calmly, but in the deepest part of her eyes, he saw many people, slowly walking through the snowy wilderness.

They were dressed in different clothes and moved stiffly, like a living corpse that had lost its mind, driven by some mysterious force to maintain a uniform formation.

Whether it is a man or a woman, young or old, every step is the same distance, and even the frequency of arm swings is almost exactly the same, and there is no difference to be found.

As the crowd moved, from time to time a human skin would float up with the wind without warning, and then disappear without a trace.

Wei Tao's mind was calm, and he made every effort to contemplate the gods and look at the qi technique, and gathered his spirit to observe carefully.

Suddenly, he saw a pair of eyes.

It appeared from the center of the red tassel's pupils.

And it grew bigger and bigger, until it took up his entire field of vision.

At the same time, there was a voice that overlapped and was inseparable from men and women, as if it sounded directly in his head.

"Finally let me see you, and the two of them deserve to die."

Wei Tao took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, "Pretending to be a ghost, I'm waiting for you, and I will definitely make your personal demon die even more deserved." ”
