A firework goes off in the sky.

The night sky is lit up in the dark of ink.

Soon after, another firework burst into the air, bursting into a cloud of brilliant colors.

Wei Tao was half-lying on the roof of the Qingyang Palace, looking at the beautiful scenery at the end of his sight, his mood was peaceful and peaceful.

In the small dining room not far away, the banquet continued.

I have to say that Elder Wan is definitely a good hand at enlivening the atmosphere, and he and Wei Rongxing chatted hotly from beginning to end, even closer than their long-lost brothers.

There are also elders and deacons on the side.

Both of them are also old men from the mountain gate, although they don't talk much, but every sentence is just right, and it makes people feel very comfortable when they hear it in their ears.

Coupled with the honey oil on his mouth, and the master of the Sancai Sect with an uncle, this New Year's dinner was even more lively and happy than at home.

Another table.

Zheng Suyun and Granny Yu sat in the middle.

On both sides is Wei Hong, and on the other side is Ni Yan.

A few people talked in a whisper, laughing from time to time, and they didn't know what Zheng Suyun had said, which made them so happy.

"Daozi, the food and drinks are ready."

The voice of Deacon Shen at the inner door sounded from below, followed by Han Luyi, and the two of them each carried a huge food box in their hands and came to the door of Qingyang Palace.

"Good work."

Wei Tao jumped down from the room, took the food box and the wine jar, and quickly disappeared into the depths of the night.

He followed the main road to the cloud viewing platform, and fell straight from the top of it, entering the valley below the cliff.

Soon after.

The source of the earth's qi, the gap is close to the front.

The two figures sat across from each other, and the bluestone in the middle was filled with steaming dishes.

"You kid, the old man told you not to come, why didn't you listen?

I can absorb the earth qi here, but I can't be hungry, I can't drink mountain spring water, and I don't need to eat three meals a day like usual. ”

Ning Xuanzhen picked up the wine cup and drank it slowly, speaking unceremoniously, and said a reprimand with a slap on his face.

"Don't talk about this yet, Dao Master."

Wei Tao smelled it like a breeze, and just smiled slightly, "The old man just said whether this dish is good or not, and whether the wine is good or not." ”

Ning Xuanzhen was silent for a moment, and finally sighed with a smile, "Forget it, it's the New Year, and you're here, what else do I say."

And to have Xiao Tao to accompany him to have a meal, in any case, it is countless times better than the old man sitting alone here. ”

"Senior Sister Ni has already been sympathetic to heaven and man, and has become a Yuanyi Grandmaster."

Wei Tao helped fill the cup, glanced at Ning Dao Master's eyes that suddenly became surprised and solemn, and continued, "I didn't tell her about the matter here, otherwise she would definitely have to come here." ”

"You're right not to tell her."

Ning Xuanzhen sighed lowly, "Xiao Yan has just entered the Grandmaster, and his realm has not really stabilized, so it is naturally harmful to come here.

Taking a step back, even if she has completely stabilized the realm and can have less contact with the Qinglin Mountain Qi, she still has as little contact as possible, so that she should be able to avoid people like me who are not ghosts and live a hard life day by day. ”

Wei Tao nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "The disciple suddenly had a question recently, I don't know if the Lord can solve my doubts. ”

"If there's any problem, you just say, what are you doing with me."

"What the disciple wants to know is whether the Guiyuan, Xuanyuan, and Mixed Yuan exercises that have been passed down from generation to generation in this sect have a certain connection with the source of the earth's qi behind the Dao Master."

"There is a connection, but it will only really show up after advancing to the Xuansense level."

Ning Xuanzhen thought about it and said slowly, "This is also the reason why I deliberately suppressed Xiao Yan's cultivation progress before and prevented her from entering the Xuangan realm too early.

It's just that her natural qualifications are really amazing, especially from the step of Xuangan delusion to the transformation of heaven and man, the speed of her breakthrough is completely beyond my expectations.

After a pause, he sighed secretly, "But in this way, heaven and man will sympathize with each other, and it will not necessarily be a good thing to go too fast." ”

Wei Tao asked. "If it's not good, what's going to be bad?"

Ning Xuanzhen didn't answer this question directly, but instead said, "There is something missing in the mixed yuan chapter of this sect, Xiao Tao knows what is missing?" ”

Wei Tao was stunned for a moment, "The disciple's cultivation of the Mixed Yuan Chapter has not yet reached a deeper level, so I don't know what is missing. ”

"You haven't gone deeper, but you're really shallow."

When Ning Xuanzhen heard this, his face became a little strange for a while.

After a while, he sighed and said, "The missing part of the Mixed Yuan Chapter is said to be related to perceiving and capturing the true meaning of Xuan Nian, but this is just the appearance.

What is really problematic is that it has disappeared from the sub-chapters made by the three and fourth generations of patriarchs of this sect.

As for the significance of the existence of the sub-chapter, the main function is to suppress the evil hidden in the Xuan Nian, so that the martial artists of this sect can keep the spirit platform clear at all times, and will not be affected by too deep erosion of the spirit and body. ”

Wei Tao listened carefully and thought silently.

The surrounding green mist slowly surged, and it seemed to have a lazy feeling.

Finally, Ning Xuanzhen stopped talking and began to drink tea slowly.

Wei Tao raised his head at this time, "Dao Master, the thing at the bottom of Qinglin Mountain, is it alive?" ”

"It's not alive, but it's not a purely dead thing, and I don't really know what it looks like and what state it is."

Ning Xuanzhen drank the last glass of wine and turned his head to look at the bronze door, "Maybe after I completely break through the existing level and truly comprehend what the realm of the Fa is, it will be possible to go to the end of the underground passage to take a look." ”

"The realm of the law, the law that follows the law?"

"It's really a word that follows the law, but it doesn't mean what the law says."

Ning Xuanzhen raised his head and looked at the sky where the moon and stars were scarce, "In today's world, the Yang Extreme Grandmaster that I know, if you say who is most likely to step into this realm, the Lord of the Golden Horde of the Northern Wilderness is one, and the Lord of the Xuanwu Dao Qi Dao is the other.

There is also the old Grandmaster Hong, who lives deep in the Four Elephants Hall of the Great Interior, and the Qinglian Dharma King who hides in the place of death, but the two of them are old and frail, and the other has been seriously injured, so it is still unknown whether they have taken this step. ”

Wei Tao's heart moved, "What about Emperor Wu a hundred years ago, what kind of height was he at?" ”

"Emperor Wu pacified the southern Xinjiang and broke the golden tent, just with these two things, the old man couldn't see the height he was at."

Ning Xuanzhen shook his head, "This kind of character who has not been born for hundreds of years has ended up going crazy and dying, which really makes people sigh." ”

Wei Tao began to clean up the mess, feeling the gentle and quiet green mist around him, and asked the last question, "Divine will, what is this?" ”

"Divine Will......"

Ning Xuanzhen asked rhetorically, "So, you also perceive the divine will coming from the north to the south?" ”

Wei Tao didn't hide anything, so he described the blue ice lotus in the blessed land of Bingquan Mountain in detail, but replaced the ending with the broken ice lotus.

Then, on this basis, it naturally led to the Xuanbing Sea Divine Will.

Ning Xuanzhen stroked the long beard under his chin, and slowly spoke, "It's a bit complicated, and what I know is just a scale and half a claw."

But to put it simply, you can think of the divine will as something higher than the spiritual will, and the so-called spiritual and clear, divine and holy, which is pretty much what it means. ”

"The Spirit is clear, and the God is holy."

Wei Tao carefully tasted the meaning of this sentence, and was speechless for a long time.

I heard Ning Xuanzhen continue, "Don't misunderstand the meaning of the word holy, maybe it is not holy, but a high description that is difficult for ordinary beings to reach. ”

Wei Tao looked at the underground passage, "The source of the earth's qi in the mountain gate seems to have swallowed up a little divine will. ”

"Yes, that's why I have to retreat here and endure even more pain."

Ning Xuanzhen smiled, but his expression was a little bitter and distorted, "This kind of unconscious chaotic thing, although it is only acting with the only remaining instinct, is enough to put me under great pressure, if the will is not firm a little, it will be difficult to survive." ”

…………

………………

The night passes, and the sun rises and dawns.

In the practice room of Qingyang Academy, Wei Tao sat cross-legged and did not move.

In front of him lay an old volume spread out.

This is the book that Mu Fang specially asked for from Zhang Zhiqing.

He carefully read the past word by word, but he could not recall the font he had seen at the time.

Ling Ming Baoyu was in his hand, but no matter what means he used, he would never be able to see the bird feather in the rift again, let alone re-experience everything at that time.

"Could it be that you have to go to Lingming Mountain to more clearly understand the true meaning of the mystical thoughts hidden in the treasure jade?"

Wei Tao's brows furrowed, and he opened the curled book again.

I don't know how many times I watched it, and one of the unrelated lines caught his attention.

The sky is cloudy in Qinzhong, sometimes there is a sound, the sound is like the sound of a car, and there are ten murderous songs.

His heart suddenly moved, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

"The nine changes of Lingming correspond to the nine songs, if the nine changes are one, isn't it the tenth life?"

"The sound is like the sound of a car, and the first word is a ghost, so the second word may be a car."

"Ghost car!?"

"The moon is black and deserted, the wind and rain are miserable, the phosphorus fire stars, the ghost birds are laughing, and the ghosts are all called ghost cars."

As soon as these two words came out, Wei Tao seemed to have a flash of light in his consciousness, which suddenly dispelled the fog and illuminated a large area of secrets hidden by darkness.

The essence of the Nine Transformations of Lingming quietly flashed in front of him, and the Lingming Baoyu in his hand was a little hot without warning.

He lowered his head, and once again saw the feather hovering through the rift that obscured his vision.

Once the obstacle of perception that has been in my mind is broken, everything becomes smooth and smooth.

Even if there are other obstacles, after the status bar manifests the void, there is no room for existence, and it will be pushed all the way through.

Rumble!

A gold coin vanished, and a mysterious aura began to infuse the body.

Wei Tao put his hands together, containing Baoyu, while observing the perception that the feather brought to him, while waiting for the change to open.

He was a little surprised that he didn't feel any pain for the improvement of the Nine Transformations of Lingming this time.

The only change is that I feel a little sleepy, and I feel tired that I want to close my eyes and go straight to sleep.

Under the continuous infusion of the mysterious aura, the sleepiness became thicker and thicker, until it hit like a big wave, completely submerging his whole body.

Little by little, time passed.

I don't know how long it took, Wei Tao's heart suddenly moved.

He slowly opened his eyes, but he couldn't see anything.

It was still dark, and I felt extremely depressed.

It's like being locked in a small cage, and even the body is forced to curl up, and even the hands and feet can't be fully extended.

This feeling made Wei Tao extremely sad.

He was constantly struggling to get out of it.

Until Katsa's crunch.

The dark cage has finally been torn apart.

Then there was a crunch of kaka, and all the restraints were gone.

Wei Tao stepped out of the cage and came out into the light.

Even because of weakness, he only took two steps and fell on his heels.

He had just stood up straight from the ground, and he suddenly froze there motionless.

Looking down at his legs, his gaze suddenly became full of surprise and doubt.

"This time, the mystery, or delusion, is really a bit strange beyond expectations."

"It's different from the perspective of the spectator before, but now it's like you're immersed in it."

Wei Tao fell into a long silence.

For it was not the feet of men that caught his eye, but the claws that were curved like hooks, like the sharp edges of a knife.

They are still changing different images, and the only thing they have in common is that they are terrifying and weird, and they make people's spirits go crazy and twist.

"So, is the cage I thought I was just now really a cage?"

Wei Tao slowly turned around and looked back.

Sure enough, I saw scattered fragments, like broken eggshells.

There is also a viscous liquid that is spreading in all directions, and wherever it touches the ground, it will become miserable and miserable, and the phosphorus fire will ignite, exuding a rich ominous atmosphere.

"I've been influenced by Lingming Baoyu's inner feather."

"The cool feeling that keeps appearing in my consciousness should be the mysterious aura when the status bar is raised.

It helped me resist the pervasive spiritual erosion, maintain the clarity of the spiritual platform, and be able to enter a state similar to a lucid dream, immersive experience and perception. ”

"So, this strange bird that will make people have a nervous breakdown at a glance may be a ghost car?"

Suddenly, there were two stabbing sounds.

A pair of wings that seemed to be surrounded by blood grew from behind, slowly fanning and faintly sounding the sound of wind and thunder, completely replacing the previous membranous wings.

It is three thousand years apart, and it is hidden by day and night like an owl.

I don't know how long later, Wei Tao slowly opened his eyes, and his wings converged and disappeared from his body.

He stood up, stood in silence for a long time, and then suddenly took a step forward.

Winter!

The entire practice room moved.

Then came the second step, and the body became extremely light.

Next, Wei Tao took eight steps forward in a row, and when he finally stood still, a virtual image of fluttering wings suddenly appeared behind him, constantly surround his surroundings and appeared and disappeared, like a looming phantom.

At the same time, there was also an ominous aura like substance, filling the void of the entire practice room.

Little by little, time passed.

I don't know how long later, Wei Tao stopped moving, and let out a long breath of turbidity.

Lingming changed nine times and changed eighth, and this turned out to be it?

He still looked a little unconvinced.

However, the gold coin in the status bar has been reduced by one, and the progress of the exercises has also reached the level of the Eight Changes of Spiritual Wisdom.

Even the final description shows the four big characters of Lingming Grandmaster.

However, Wei Tao always felt a little unreal.

Compared with the advent of Brahma's spiritual intent when he achieved the Grandmaster of Henglian, and the surging darkness when he achieved the Grandmaster Xuanwu, this time the Grandmaster of Lingming did not move, and there was no sound, as if he had become lonely.

With this doubt, Wei Tao knotted the Yuan Fetal Fist Seal, the spirit was condensed and elevated, and the true meaning of martial arts was manifested.

Quietly, the black lotus bloomed into the void, the turtle and snake intersected and reborn, and the image of King Kong with a black body was located in it.

In the next moment, there was another phantom with the body of a nine-headed bird, flying around the turtle snake King Kong, and the blood light fainted in the place where it passed, exuding a murderous aura, but it complemented the twisted and entangled scarlet silk, as if it were one.

He deeply perceived the true meaning of all kinds of martial arts, and his eyes focused on the nine ghost cars flying in the blood light, and he felt dizziness inexplicably, and it seemed that even his mind was a little swaying, and he was no longer in the realm of thoroughness and clarity.

"Even your own spirit can be influenced, this is the true meaning of the martial arts of the Lingming Sect."

"I haven't experienced what kind of power it has yet, but after adding this strange bird to the martial arts true intent, the Xuanwu true intent of the turtle and snake is obviously much quieter."

"However, in my impression, the Nine Heavens Demon Patriarch is dressed in black and has the image of stepping on turtles and snakes with swords, and now there is an extra nine-headed bird, which is a bit strange no matter how you look at it."

Wei Tao's eyes were half-open and half-closed, and he slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity.

With a creaking sound, the door of the practice room was slowly pushed open.

The afternoon sun shines in, reflecting a long strip of gold inside the door.

He slowly walked into the courtyard and looked at the figures who were sitting there chatting.

"Senior Brother Wei, you seem to have become a little different from before."

Ni Yan turned his body, and a little puzzled expression flashed on his face.

"What's the difference?"

Wei Tao sat down beside her and took a cup of tea from Wei Hong's hand.

Ni Yan blinked, thought about it and said slowly, "This feeling is difficult to describe, the biggest change is that after watching you for a long time, the spirit will inexplicably appear in a trance, and even the realm of the Grandmaster of Heaven and Man Sympathy cannot completely break the influence." ”

When she said this, she suddenly reached out and held Wei Hong on the side.

A few steps away, Han Luyi, who was standing behind the table, shook his body and fell to the ground softly.

"It's okay, I just fainted."

Ni Yan checked the bodies of the two of them and breathed a sigh of relief slightly, "It seems that Senior Brother Wei still needs to go back to retreat and retreat, when will he be able to fully control this power, and when will he come out of the practice room again." ”

"Before the true intent of the martial arts has been released, it has already had such an impact."

Wei Tao quickly finished drinking a cup of hot tea, and the thoughts in his heart kept turning, "If I use all my strength to make Ling Ming Jiu conjure a move, I am afraid that in an instant, I will be able to make the martial artists under the grandmaster defeat themselves without a fight and lose all their ability to resist."

It's just that I don't know how much effect it can have on a martial arts master, or even a great yang grandmaster.

"If it doesn't have much effect, the Grandmaster Realm of the Nine Transformations of Lingming is actually a chicken rib, and it is naturally at a disadvantage in the Battle of the Grandmaster."

Suddenly, a flash of light flashed through my mind.

"The true intent of the ghost car directly affects the spirit, and the karmic fire red lotus can erode the true spirit, if these two exercises can be combined, what will happen?"

Thinking of this, he put down the teacup and slowly got up, "I still have to trouble Senior Sister to send my sister and Deacon Han back to the room to rest, so I will go back and continue my retreat." ”

At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps suddenly came from far and near.

Immediately after, a figure rushed into the Qingyang Courtyard.

Wei Tao turned his head to look, and what appeared in his eyes was the figure of Deacon Shen of Qingyang Academy.

"The master of the courtyard, the master of Qingfeng Guanli, and the secret letter sent by Liu Shaoqing at the same time."

Deacon Shen's footsteps were fast, and in an instant, he had come to the front.

It wasn't until this moment that she saw Ni Yan sitting there, and hurriedly bowed down and saluted, "I've seen Ni Daozi." ”

Ni Yan bowed slightly, "Deacon Shen doesn't need to be polite, let's talk to Senior Brother Wei about the matter first." ”

"Yes, that's right, just now my subordinates and the deacon of the outer door who delivered the letter asked about the general situation......

Deacon Shen straightened up and looked at Wei Tao, but his eyes were black inexplicably when he just spoke, and he was a little dizzy, so he calmed down before he continued, "A monk who feeds on people was found south of Luoshui, and the Qingfeng Guan Li Guan Lord went out to investigate and was seriously injured.

Or because the monk was in a hurry to leave, and he didn't catch up and make another death, otherwise Li Kun's predecessor might not be able to save his life. ”

"As for the content of Liu Shaoqing's letter, the Xiaoyi girl from the Pilgrimage Division didn't say much."

Wei Tao nodded and opened the two secret letters at the same time.

After reading it carefully, he handed the paper slip to Ni Yan, "The content of Liu Qingyuan's letter is much the same, but in addition to the Esoteric monks, she also mentioned the Golden Horde Sacrifice, which also appeared on the ground south of Luoshui. ”

Ni Yan frowned slightly, "I'm a little strange, if the Golden Horde is ready to go south in a big way, the Imperial Court Zhenbei Division and the Qizhou Jiedu Envoy will at least hear a trace of the wind, instead of being as calm as now."

Taking a step back, even if the Golden Horde succeeded in concealing the sky and the sea, it also concealed the warriors sent to the border by the Tianji Mansion, but after they infiltrated Qizhou, they actually ignored their own gate and went directly to the south, which also makes me a little incomprehensible. ”

Wei Tao didn't speak, and inexplicably thought of the divine will that passed across the night sky.

He pondered silently for a long time, then sighed and said, "The Esoteric Sect Monk and the Golden Horde Sacrifice appeared at the same time, and if they didn't figure out the purpose of their trip as soon as possible, they would be uneasy to stay at the mountain gate.

I'm afraid that it won't be possible to continue the retreat, so I'm going to meet the Taoist master in the back mountain now, and listen to his old man's meaning, and maybe I will have to go around after the New Year's Festival. ”
