Chapter 289: The Cage

The water is surging and flowing slowly.

And near the view of the breeze, the calm water suddenly has an extra whirlpool.

Turning a corner towards the newly formed ditch and pouring in, it washed and stirred all the way, and even came to the door of the Qingfeng Temple.

The long gravel road is almost gone.

It has become a newly formed tributary of Luoshui, and there are curious fish inside, floating up and down, quietly probing.

"How is Michiko feeling now?" The sound of treading water sounded, and Li Kun rushed to the bank of the Luoshui River.

Wei Tao raised his head, his voice slightly weak, "The external and internal injuries on the body are not serious, and you can recover well after a little time of meditation.

It's just that the martial arts true intent that I have condensed in my hands has been broken and scattered, and the follow-up will be a little troublesome."

"Just now, Guan Daozi confronted the Yang Extreme Grandmaster, and the old man really felt that he had lived in vain for decades."

Li Kun had already come to the front as he spoke, and he also sat down in the muddy water on the side.

His gaze moved downward, and landed on the witch who was already sitting on his knees at the bottom of the pit, and his expression was quite complicated.

"From an ordinary person to an anode master step by step, this person's experience is absolutely extraordinary, and the bits and pieces of his journey along the way can be written into a wonderful scroll, which has surprised and amazed many martial artists.

But fortunately, he died at the hands of Daozi after all, and no matter how wonderful the past was, it has disappeared with the wind and vanished."

Wei Tao took the pills handed by Li Kun and put them all into his mouth.

He closed his eyes and waited until the pill dissolved, then he sighed and said slowly, "The cultivation level of the Qinglian Sect Yuesan people is profound, and the strength level is strong, and it is not easy for me to win this battle.

In particular, this person's final hole card killing move really brought me a lot of pressure."

After a pause, Wei Tao showed an inexplicable expression on his face, "It's a pity that the agency was too clever and mistook the life of the Yuesan.

If he hadn't been too cautious, maybe the end result would have been that I could win, but I wouldn't have been able to keep him, which is a bit touching to think about."

Li Kun asked suspiciously, "Too cautious, what does Daozi mean?"

The medicinal effect of the pill began to work, Wei Tao exhaled a mouthful of burning breath, and steaming hot air began to emerge from his body.

He thought for a moment, "If this Qinglian Sect Moon Scatterer is a reckless man, and he doesn't care about fighting when he comes up, I will definitely win this battle even harder.

It's a pity that he wants to take me down at the lowest cost, so he has tried his best to delay time, and used it to plan and prepare the Qinglian Secret Method, hoping to attract the weak water spirit intent of the land of the past to suppress me.

As a result, it hit the iron plate headlong, and instead it was devoured with a lot of life."

Li Kun was thoughtful, and did not ask in depth, but nodded thoughtfully.

"Warriors fight for life and death, fighting for that glimmer of life, it is right to be cautious, after all, being careful can make the ship of ten thousand years, sometimes a moment of negligence, it is your own life, you have to be cautious.

But if you are too cautious, you will become indecisive and difficult to seize fleeting opportunities.

And if you don't know who you are, and if you make a mistake in judgment, you will be defeated and die."

While talking, the two got up from the bank of the Luoshui River and slowly walked towards Qingfeng Temple.

"Daozi's move is surging with great momentum, which really makes Lao Dao full of admiration and envy."

Li Kun looked at the canal that went straight to the view, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"When I turn around, I will greet those rabbit cubs, strengthen and expand the waterway where the foundation of the Daozi was laid, and lead it into the courtyard, which is connected with the artificial river of the Taoist temple, which can be regarded as a commemorative attraction."

Wei Tao smiled slightly, "I also envy Uncle Li's sense of mystery and being able to close the door and leave freely."

"Daozi is really exalting me too much, free and easy is definitely not counted, Lao Dao just feels that he is old and doesn't want to eat that anymore."

Li Kun picked up a fish from the ground and threw it into the canal

, with a wry smile on his face.

He glanced at Wei Tao's suddenly strange expression, and was silent for a moment before he sighed, "Don't misunderstand, Daozi, I don't mean anything else, it's just because my own mystical delusions are really a bit tricky.

Lao Dao clearly remembered the day when he broke through the realm of mystery, and asked Zuo Shi to prepare a table of sumptuous banquets to reward himself, but as soon as he took a bite of his favorite red braised bear paw, he actually felt that he was eating.

Even when I went outside to vomit, I smelled the smell wafting from the thatched house, but I couldn't suppress my saliva and thought that the smell was very fragrant, and this terrible experience directly scared me into a cold sweat, and I suddenly felt that I was bored of life."

The corners of Wei Tao's lips twitched, "It's unbearable just to listen to, and it's embarrassing for Uncle Li."

Li Kun slapped his thigh and deeply agreed.

"Yes, the key is that I think about it again, my talent and qualifications are not excellent, and the most critical mixed element chapter of this sect is missing, so isn't it hopeless for the Realm Breaking Grandmaster, and he will have to endure such delusional torture for the rest of his life?

It's better to it, and go back and enjoy life."

Wei Tao slowly ran the Vajra Secret Method, and the dark golden light on his body was surrounded.

Hearing this, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's a pity that Uncle Li wanted to lie down but couldn't, and finally stepped into the realm of Xuangan again."

After a pause, he then asked, "Can you go back again this time?"

"This time, there's no going back."

Li Kun sighed secretly, "It's still that weird dream, the mysterious person in the dream sent me into the door, and even kicked me after me, and as a result, I completely went deep into the realm of mystical sense, and I couldn't find the way when I couldn't go back."

At this point, he suddenly fell silent and fell into thought.

After a while, he considered it and spoke again, "Old Dao remembered the experience of entering the two mystical senses, and suddenly felt a little feeling in his heart, and I don't know if it can help the situation that Daozi is facing."

Wei Tao said solemnly, "Uncle Li, please speak, I will listen to you."

"Although Lao Dao has not yet entered the realm of a martial arts master who has been incarnated as a celestial being, he doesn't know the secrets contained in it, and he can't figure out what the mystery is inside.

But the first time I entered the Xuangan and then withdrew, in the dream where the delusion came after this re-entry, I suddenly found that from the beginning of the Guiyuan Gong, all the way to the Six Turns of Xuanyuan, and then to the Mixed Yuan Secret Record, the basic exercises actually have the true meaning of Xuannian.

Although I never captured and perceived the corresponding mysteries after waking up from the dream, the scene in the dream was vivid and clearly visible, making people have no doubt about its authenticity.

What's more, there is a faint spiritual connection between these exercises, as if there are invisible and intangible silk threads that are tied together, and I was thinking at that time what would happen if I could follow this silk thread to integrate them into one.

I don't know if other martial artists have similar feelings, but if you think about the situation of two mystical senses like mine, even if there are, they should be very rare."

Wei Tao looked at him silently, and after a long time, he bowed down with his fists and bowed, "What Uncle Li said is very inspiring to me, and it may be very useful when it comes to condensing the true intent of martial arts again, not only will there be many detours, but it may even benefit from it."

As he spoke, he stopped in front of the Qingfeng Gate, "I won't go in, and I have to trouble Uncle Li to prepare some more medicinal pills, so that I can replenish my vitality and recover from my injuries on the way."

[At present, it is the most complete and best app for listening to books, integrating 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of timbres, and it supports offline reading

"I killed the demons of the Qinglian Sect who went upstream, but there are still demons who have gone south from the northern wilderness to come.

She seems to have come specifically for me, and she has practiced some kind of strange method, which can locate the qi through the Great Brahma Heavenly Spiritual Will, and then follow the trail to find my location.

So as far as I'm concerned, the only way to do this is to run away, to retreat for the time being, to let her edge, and wait until her injuries heal and recover well, and then go and meet her on a narrow road, and live and die at a high level."

Li Kun thought for a moment, and immediately said, "I'll go and prepare the healing medicine that Daozi needs, and then let Qingying and them escort Daozi back to Qinglin Mountain all the way.

As long as you can enter the mountain gate, and when the time comes, with the blessing of the Ning Dao Lord, even if the Northern Wilderness Anode Grandmaster is here in person, you can still ensure that the Dao is worry-free!"

When the words fell, Li Kun left in a hurry.

Only Wei Tao was left alone in front of the Taoist temple, silently staring at the broken stone hill and straight canal left behind by the battle just now.

He recalled the turtle snake Xuanwu that was full of death intent and devoured vitality, and the gray and white river that seemed to flow slowly without a head and tail, and he couldn't help but have many doubts in his heart that had not yet been understood.

The corpse that stretched across the dark void, tortoises and snakes, whether it really existed, and if so, whether it was a corpse that had been stiff and cold.

What's even more terrifying is that it can also devour life.

Not only the body, but also the spirit has not escaped.

Even apart from the two of them, the flowers and trees on the ground, as well as the flocks of birds flying in the air, were not spared.

Although in comparison, even if he and the Wusan people were all sucked dry, it would only be a drop in the bucket, and it would be impossible to see any changes at all, but if thousands of living beings were absorbed by it at the same time, what kind of situation would arise?

Wei Tao's brows furrowed, and his mind turned again.

The final blow of the Witch Sans appeared in his mind.

Clear lotus everywhere, lotus platform rises.

A figure that looks like a god stands on it.

It was no different from the movements of the Wusan, and at the same time formed a magic seal and struck forward.

"Yin and yang are real, from virtual to real."

Wei Tao pondered silently and immersed himself in it.

Over and over again, he collided with the figure.

In his gaze, the thing, though it was real and lifelike, should be an illusory shell.

However, when his Yuan Fetal Fist Seal actually came into contact with it, he was extremely surprised to find that it really seemed to be an entity, not an illusory body seen in his eyes.

What's more, the lethality of the explosion it has exploded.

If it weren't for the foundation of the turtle and snake intersection that broke the limit of sixty stages, the Henglian Grandmaster who had achieved the Vajra Secret Method alone might have broken through his defenses with that Blue Lotus Law Seal, leaving indelible injuries on his body.

If we go further to deduce the simulation, even if it is broken into a scattered relic, it is still unknown.

Hurried footsteps sounded, and soon came to the door of the Taoist temple.

"The subordinates were ordered to escort Daozi back to the mountain."

Qingying is dressed in a strong suit, looking heroic and sassy, lean and capable.

Behind her, two warriors followed with their burdens, each leading two well-saddled horses.

Another carriage with a cotton curtain stopped at the side of the road.

Qingying unfolded a fur coat and draped it over Wei Tao's body, "Is Daozi riding a horse or riding a car?"

Wei Tao smiled gently, "Riding a horse is faster, you can return to the mountain gate as soon as possible, and it is convenient to recover and heal by car, and you can calm down and think, so it seems that there are many choices and it is a little difficult."

"Then I'll take the car."

Qing Ying suggested, "It's true that riding a horse will be faster, but this carriage was designed and built by Uncle Li himself, and the carriage is large and spacious, and it can't be too slow when four horses pull the carriage together."

Wei Tao nodded, "Then according to what you said, take the carriage back to the mountain gate."

The snow is melting rapidly under the golden sun.

Even if it is a regularly repaired official road, it is also muddy everywhere.

From time to time, there will be large and small potholes, and the walk is far less smooth than usual.

Wei Tao sat still in the carriage.

His eyes were half-open and half-closed, and there was a faint glint of divine light inside.

In the depths of consciousness, the ink-colored lotus shadow emerged, and the image of a turtle and snake intersecting slowly manifested, and a black figure stood in it, a trinity, integrated into one place.

Suddenly, his heart trembled slightly.

Everything is like a dream bubble, like dew and electricity, all disappearing.

Wei Tao opened his eyes at this time, only to feel mentally exhausted and weak, and only thought about falling asleep.

He grabbed a handful of pills and put them in his mouth, making up for the vitality needed to recover from his injuries.

The wounds on the surface of the body are slowly healing, and they are getting better and better with the naked eye, and if this trend continues, it may not take long to recover.

This is the powerful body brought about by the superposition of the King Kong secret method on the turtle and snake.

Even though he has not yet reached the anode realm and cannot possess the trait of reversing vitality, in terms of recovery ability, he is no longer inferior to the great master of cathode and yang.

Wei Tao observed carefully, and after a moment, his hands were folded, and his five fingers touched.

Suddenly, it was like a clash of gold and iron, and a melodious sound sounded.

He slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, looking for a pill that could calm his mind and relieve the severe headache caused by condensing the true intent of the martial arts.

At the same time, the words that Li Kun had said in front of the Qingfeng Temple kept echoing in his ears.

Regarding the fact that the Yuan Yi Foundation Exercises also corresponded to the Xuan Nian, Wei Tao was not surprised in any way.

After all, he is a living example in his own right.

The condensation of the true meaning of the turtle and snake intersection is the embodiment of pushing the foundation of the Xuanwu true solution all the way up.

What really made Wei Tao care was Li Kun's statement that the silk threads between the exercises were linked, and the parts were part and whole.

It really inspired him.

In the near future, in terms of the condensation of the true meaning of martial arts, you can try to reproduce one by one with silk, and then the artistic conception is involved, and the integration becomes a whole that does not distinguish between each other.

It is even possible to go further on this basis.

Explore if you can find a new path, and take this opportunity to add and integrate all the outer paths you have cultivated.

And if you think about it from a far-reaching perspective, if you can perceive and capture the corresponding mysteries of the Non Gui Chapter, the Seven Houses Chapter, and even the Ming Xuan Chapter, and integrate them all into the turtle and snake intercourse, what kind of situation will it present?

Do it as soon as you think of it, without the slightest delay.

Wei Tao strengthened his spirit and began to comprehend the artistic conception of the secret method of heavy cash through the mysterious silk.

Then, after a few breaths, fall asleep directly on the cushion.

Even the carriage bumped all the way, and there was no response.

Purple and red, mountains and flowers.

He blinked, a little distracted, at the scene that was presented in front of him.

Quietly, a figure in a white dress and white dress loomed, ethereal.

Immediately after, the familiar white bone altar silently manifested, standing among the flowers in the distance.

The girl in white slowly ascended to the altar and sat down on it, as if she were one with it.

"I have advanced to the realm of the grandmaster of the incarnation of heaven and man, and I haven't even gotten rid of my original delusions?"

Wei Tao frowned slightly, carefully observing the white bone altar and the girl in white who seemed to be not far away, but could not get close.

Suddenly, his eyes froze slightly, and he noticed something unusual.

Compared with the scene in her memory, the figure of the girl in white seems to have become much more illusory.

It was as if a gust of wind could blow her away.

Even the bone altar under him was no longer crystal clear and white as jade, but had a dark luster, showing a gray appearance.

Wei Tao took his gaze off the altar and lowered his head in deep thought.

A moment later, he made a new discovery.

There are a few petals scattered at his feet, and they seem to have lost their vitality,

There is no bright color at all.

In places that are shaded by flowers, a large number of withered petals can also be seen, showing a dull dead atmosphere.

Wei Tao can be sure that there is absolutely no such situation in the previous delusions.

Katsa!

Suddenly, a cracking sound came to my ears.

He followed the prestige, and saw that at the base of the White Bone Altar, a crack had grown from nothing, rapidly expanding and spreading to the surrounding area.

And then there was undisguised malice, which spread out of the cracks.

"Gong Yuan said before he died that this is not an altar of bones, but a cage that seals the town and imprisons it."

"So, because of the changes in the woman in white and the boundless sea of flowers, the things that are sealed in the cage are about to show their heads?"

Wei Tao's face was expressionless, and he inexplicably remembered the woman with a paper umbrella he met when he was in Gui Shuyi Manor.

She also once mentioned that only strength is not enough, and when he achieves the Horizontal Training Grandmaster with the Vajra Secret Method, it is the beginning of real doom.

So, is the bad luck she is talking about related to this bone altar?

Kacha Kacha whispered softly.

The cracks in the base of the altar continue to widen.

Wei Tao was silent and waited quietly.

At the same time, he also felt more and more intense malice, escaping from the cracks of the spider web.

Little by little, time passed.

Perhaps, in the delusion, the passage of time has no due meaning.

I don't know how long later, the sound quietly disappeared.

The crack also stopped spreading at this point.

There seemed to be a gust of wind blowing, and in an instant the flowers fell like rain and withered all over the ground.

The girl in white sitting on the altar still didn't move, but her figure became a little more illusory.

"I see, the girl in white and the Bone Altar turned out to be hostile."

"She and the Endless Sea of Flowers are one, sealing and suppressing the Bone Altar."

"If the girl in white is really the corpse enshrined in the ancestral hall of the Luocha clan, what will be in the white bone altar?"

"So, what is the reason for the fall of the sea of flowers and the cracking of the altar?"

Possibilities flashed through Wei Tao's mind, and finally his thoughts suddenly moved, thinking of the turtle and snake that devoured life.

Could it be that there is also vitality here that can be devoured and absorbed, so it has caused the girl in white to be illusory, and the sea of flowers to wither and fall, unable to firmly seal and suppress the things in the altar as before?

At this moment, Wei Tao's body suddenly shook, and he came back from his delusions without warning.

The carriage stopped.

Qingying's voice was extremely low, and it came in through the side window of the carriage, "Daozi, in the wilderness ahead, there seems to be a martial arts master who has been incarnated by heaven and man, and he is standing there still, as if he is extremely wary and hostile to us."

"Oh? It's just that when you return to Qinglin Mountain from Qingfeng Temple, you can meet a martial arts master on the way?"

Wei Tao's eyes flashed, and he really sensed the unique qi of the grandmaster martial artist, and he didn't hide it too much, allowing it to overflow outward.

No wonder even Qingying and the others can notice it.

The tip of his nose twitched, and he faintly smelled a wisp of blood, and it drifted in the wind from ahead.

This martial arts master seemed to have suffered a lot of injuries, so he couldn't control the surging true energy and blood, and exposed himself to the outside.

Wei Tao was quite curious, so he opened the cotton curtain, opened the car door again, and looked ahead.

At a glance, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and began to search for the name of the lake in his memory.

After a few breaths.

Bei Bei saw the figure that got out of the car clearly, and finally let out a long sigh of relief, unaware that his back was completely soaked with cold sweat.

In the carriage, two figures sat opposite each other.

Wei Tao asked, "Last time I said goodbye to Beixu Town,

Didn't the seniors go to the White Immortal Mountain to look for the treasures of the clan, how could they suddenly appear here and be so seriously injured?"

Bei Bei took a few healing pills, with a bitter expression on his face, "Don't mention it, I didn't find anything, but I met a grandmaster who went south from the Northern Wilderness, I fought with that woman, and I was hit by a few ghost stabs from her, and now I can't suppress the injury."

Wei Tao nodded, and asked again, "Seniors went all the way south, are you going to seek revenge on the Northern Wilderness Grandmaster?"

"Childe said that he laughed, in the case of old decay, how could he go to her for revenge again."

When Bei Bei said this, he sighed helplessly, "I only hope that I can return to Southern Xinjiang before I die, and it can be regarded as returning to my roots, and I have not left my bones in other places."

"Is Senpai's injury so serious?"

Wei Tao frowned slightly, his eyes flashed, and he endured his headache and looked at his breath, "What is the ghost thorn, could it be that the few filaments that are constantly wandering in the internal organs of the predecessors, but they are like one with the flesh and blood?"

Bei Bei listened, and unconsciously sat up straight, "Childe can actually sense the existence of the Phantom Thorn?"

Wei Tao replied, "I can barely perceive them now, and after a while, when they truly merge with your body, I won't be able to see them."

"Since Childe can find the Phantom Thorn, is there a way to pull it out of the ***?"

When Bei Don't speak again, his voice trembled slightly.

"There is a way, it depends on whether the seniors can accept it."

"I still have to do what I have to do, and I don't want to fall into the abyss of death in despair at this point, so as long as I can live, I can accept anything."

"In that case, can my predecessors accept being my subordinates and being bound by me?"

Bei Bei took a deep breath and exhaled heavily, "As long as Gongzi can save my life, in the future, I will be willing to serve Gongzi as the master, if I have any intention of repentance, I will definitely die without a place to be buried, and my soul will not be able to enter the Moon Wolf Ancestral Hall."

"It doesn't need to be that scary."

Wei Tao smiled slightly, and a wisp of scarlet silk quietly poked out from his fingertips, "I don't have anything to do with my predecessors, at most, it's just for you to live somewhere for a while and protect the peace there."

…………

………………

The capital city of Qizhou is 100 miles to the north.

Where the Acropolis is located.

The sun rises high and spreads light and heat all over the earth.

The number of pedestrians on the streets and alleys gradually increased, and various shops also opened their doors to welcome customers, and some also put out the New Year's goods prepared in advance to attract the attention of customers.

Everything looks beautiful and full of the smell of fireworks in the world.

But for Luo Qingjun, he felt a certain uncomfortable aura that was difficult to describe in words.

She came out of the courtyard where she lived, and through the narrow alleys, to a breakfast shop.

Looking at the standard configuration of the diners around her, she also asked for a bowl of rice porridge and two steamed buns, and ate them slowly with pickles.

Luo Qingjun eats very slowly and meticulously.

Not a single bit of food was wasted.

After eating, she did not leave immediately, but sat there silently, not knowing what she was thinking.

The top of the gatehouse of the city wall in the distance.

Under the golden sun, the mist looms.

Neither the residents of the city nor the guards of the city noticed the existence of this mist, let alone the thin figure hidden in it.

"It seems that Ning Xuanzhen has been very idle lately."

Luo Qingjun sighed secretly, finally got up from his seat, and returned to the ordinary courtyard along the same road.

"Is Master Luo going to keep waiting?"

Quietly, Gui Shuyan's voice slowly sounded in his consciousness.

Luo Qingjun smiled, "Senior Gui can afford to wait for thirty years, what is my short day or two?"

After a pause, she sighed again, "Since perceiving Ning

After Xuan Zhen's breath, I slept well like an ordinary person last night, and then suddenly I was a little curious, what kind of feeling did it feel like for Senior Gui to survive only as a true spirit."

Gui Shuyan was silent for a long time, "I was killed in the battle of Luoshui River, and I woke up the true spirit from despair and death, and then I was at a loss for I don't know how long.

It was not until later that he gradually became reasonable, destroyed people's desires, and embarked on the current road step by step, during which all kinds of pain and fear were not enough to be honest with outsiders."

"Yes, I don't empathize, so I can't understand Katsura-senpai's pain."

Luo Qingjun took off his coat, lay back on the bed, and slowly closed his eyes.

After a while, she suddenly sat up straight again, and looked out through the half-hidden dilapidated wooden door.

"There is actually a sharp and cold sword intent coming from west to east, could it be that in addition to Brahma spiritual intent, a little true spirit of Gui seniors has also attracted the attention of the West Pole Hidden Sword Pavilion?"

"The old man's true spirit is not so attractive yet, not to mention that Master Luo's astringent qi is like a stubborn stone, even Ning Xuanzhen can't detect your traces, and that sword master wants to discover my existence, but it's not so easy.

So in my opinion, the other party either came because he sensed the aura of the Lord of Yuanyi, or there were other things near this acropolis that interested him."

Gui Shu's voice stopped abruptly at this moment, and when he reappeared, there was a faint hint of doubt.

"I don't see, I don't hear, I don't touch, I don't know, I don't see, I don't hear, I don't see, I don't hear, I don't see, I don't see, I don't hear, I don't hear, I don't see
