Chapter 352: Qing Ling
The night was deep and the clouds were low.
A figure staggered, slowly walking in the wind and snow.
His movements were slow, and he even looked a little old every time he lifted his feet.
But the speed of progress is so fast that you can't even catch his true figure with your eyes.
Looming in the dark, flickering in and out.
They often take a step forward and disappear without warning.
When it reappeared, it was already more than ten feet away, or even farther away.
Even the wind and snow had to pause and freeze, as if to cooperate with his movements.
There was also a stiff and twisted figure with no legs, following behind from a distance of ten feet.
The silk surging under his body seemed to be completely integrated into the wind and snow, and the speed of his movement was not much better, and he did not fall a single inch from beginning to end.
There was a soft click.
The Xuanwu Dao Lord stopped without warning.
He looked down at the dead branches that had been trampled underneath him, and at the hare that had just emerged from the hole in the dirt and was so frightened that he fled back in frenzy.
He took off his hood, and a faint smile appeared on his old and thin face.
Then he picked up some grass stalks from nearby and piled them all up near the hidden dirt hole.
After doing all this, he slowly straightened up and looked at the inexplicably bright blue and white light in front of him, and there was a little puzzled look in his originally deathly gaze.
"Gui Zhongcheng uses the mysterious silk as a guide to summon creatures called raccoons to descend on the Northern Wilderness."
"Now that it's dead and no trace has been left behind, we can skip it."
Qi Taiquan retracted his gaze and said slowly, "However, what happened next, the old man still needs you to give me a reasonable explanation and explanation." ”
Gui Shufang sighed, "It was already hovering around us when I could sense the raccoon, so even without my call, it would still be under the same sky as us."
It's just that whether it will come to the Northern Wilderness, or the southern frontier of the West Pole, or the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty has become an unknown option. ”
"That's why I attracted raccoon dogs, first, to study what was so special about a creature like it, and secondly, to fix the time and place of its appearance, so that I could put it within my scope.
What's more, the emperor's corpse that has been resurrected since the Nine Sacred Mountains is also in the Northland Wasteland, if there is really an uncontrollable situation, with his old man's presence, at least the changes brought by him can be minimized. ”
After a pause, he looked at the fading blue and white light in front of him, feeling the warm wind transmitted from far and near, and there was also some doubt and confusion in his eyes.
After a moment of silence, Gui Shuyan let out another low sigh, "I didn't expect that the raccoon would die so quickly.
But the changes that happened after the death of the raccoon dog were completely beyond my expectations, and even made me feel a little weak and chilled in my heart. ”
He withdrew his distant gaze and looked down at the surging silk beneath him, his face suddenly becoming a little gloomy and gloomy.
"Actually, I don't need to say it, I also have to give an explanation and explanation on this matter."
"Although according to the secrets I know, since Emperor Wu overwhelmed the world a hundred years ago, there have been signs of abnormality in some places, but after all, they were suppressed by Emperor Wu one by one.
It's a pity that Emperor Wu stepped on the Golden Tent of the Northern Wilderness and fell into madness after killing Brahma's spiritual will, until he finally died suddenly, and he couldn't really record the secrets he knew.
Only a few dream-like words were left, which appeared in the shocking posts he copied.
And with the passage of time, a hundred years have passed unconsciously, and perhaps what should have come will come again after all, the only difference is that the time is sooner or later. ”
"However, having said that, the change at this moment is due to my summoning of raccoon dogs as a starting point, so I have no choice but to put my life on the line to find out the real reason hidden inside."
Qi Taiquan said lightly, "With the impression that Guizhong Chengning has always left on the old man, it makes me a little surprised to be able to say such a thing. ”
"People's hearts are changeable, complex and difficult to speak."
"But even a person like me, who can be called evil, has a bottom line that cannot be crossed."
Gui Shufang took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, "In order to live forever and see for a long time, I can endure for decades, live as an adult and not a ghost, or kill people unscrupulously, but I have never had any idea of luring wolves into the room."
After all, I consider myself to be a human being, not a homeless wild dog, and even if I really want to be a dog, I can only be a housekeeper dog. ”
"Gui Zhongcheng is actually wrong."
"Oh? Please also speak up. ”
Qi Taiquan grabbed a piece of grass clippings that drifted in the wind, "In fact, as early as more than two hundred years ago, the patriarch of this sect had already vaguely mentioned in the notes he wrote that there were many people and things that even he felt strange about, and they all appeared one by one in the chaos of the great war.
However, the old man didn't think too much about it, and the means of dealing with it were simple and straightforward, nothing more than to kill them all, and there would be no people who created chaos, and there would be no chaos. ”
"Today, especially after meeting the warrior related to the raccoon dog, and then looking back and thinking about the contents of the fragment of the notebook, I suddenly realized that the strange warriors who did not look like warriors in the patriarch's pen seem to be involved in what is happening now.
Thinking about it further, the patriarch also mentioned Brahma in the Northern Wilderness in the codex, but it seemed that the time limit had arrived, and the recorded content came to an abrupt end, and did not continue to go deeper.
Linked to the fact that the Great Brahma was born and replaced the abyss of darkness, it is unknown whether there are other secrets hidden in it. ”
Gui Shufang asked, "More than two hundred years ago, the Taoist Lord was talking about the Xuanwu National Master? ”
Qi Taiquan nodded, and was about to speak, but kept silent at the last moment.
He turned to the west, feeling the warmth on his face, observing the change from snow to rain, and a slowly walking figure was reflected in his pupils.
This is a woman in a green dress and a green dress.
She wore a crown and a veil on her face, with only one of her eyes exposed.
It is like the stars in the sky, lighting up the dark night.
"The long night is hard to see, the wind and snow are sudden, and the two of them appear on the ground here at this moment, is it to welcome the arrival of the concubine?"
The woman's voice was melodious and tinged with a strange tone, sounding as if she were chanting and singing.
When she got closer, she glanced at the two in the dark again, and the original leisurely expression gradually faded, replaced by surprise and a little caution.
"I was really surprised, even a little unbelievable."
Her eyes rolled, her gaze moved away from Gui Shufang's body, and then she looked at the Xuanwu Dao Master's right arm, "Your Excellency is an extremely rare integrated twin spirit.
The old gentleman is even rarer, although he cultivates qi and blood martial arts, he can actually express his heart and use foreign objects to build a Dao foundation for himself, such wisdom and intelligence, I am ashamed of myself, and I feel far inferior. ”
Qi Taiquan said, "Who are you and where do you come from?" ”
The woman in Tsing Yi smiled slightly, "You can call me a green slave, as for where I came from......"
She suddenly sighed faintly, "When the two of us join us and become our people, the concubine will definitely know everything and tell everything she knows." ”
…………
……………………
The snow seems to be getting heavier and heavier.
Heaven and earth are all white.
Only Wei Tao's body was empty, and not a single snowflake fell.
It was as if even the ice and snow were absorbed and swallowed, and there was no room for existence.
He faced the west, watched a bright color reflect the sky, and then quietly disappeared without a trace, and a little doubt flashed in his eyes.
This light looks somewhat similar to Brahma's Dajiao.
But when Brahma's spiritual consciousness came, what manifested was a golden glow, not the blue-white light that had just given people a fiery feeling.
"Is the master going there to investigate?"
Alfalfa asked cautiously as she approached.
"No, no."
Wei Tao shook his head, slowly constricted his qi, and suddenly the wind and snow poured in, covering his body again.
He took out the statue of the Mother of Joy and poured his spirit into it again.
But the unexpected happened.
The idol didn't even react.
Wei Tao frowned slightly, thinking silently.
After a moment, he exhaled lightly a breath of turbid air, and the Imperial Envoy Extreme Law Seal drove the divine will that had just been absorbed.
There was a soft squeak.
It was as if the closed door had been gently pushed open.
Wei Tao saw no warning in front of him.
The idol came to life again.
The ten arms formed different seals, and the dark void descended again.
And when he went deeper to find out, it was even easier and smoother than before, not at all like the last time, which would consume his energy sharply.
"I see, Huangjiyin absorbed the divine will in the statue of Ximu, which is equivalent to truly integrating it with me and becoming my own thing, so this time driving the statue will become so time-saving and labor-saving."
The thought flashed in his heart, and Wei Tao felt as if he had become a swimming fish, moving through the darkness, and soon came into contact with the white light at the end of the darkness.
It's a big web made of spider silk.
Or to put it more accurately, it should be a coiled door.
After opening it, you can really enter the silk cave of the happy mother.
I just don't know if the whole person can go in, or if it's just like him did twice, just going deep into the spirit to probe and perceive.
Wei Tao held the statue of the happy mother god and stood silently in the wind and snow.
Little by little, time passed.
The darkness is receding, and the day is approaching.
It's just that under the cover of heavy dark clouds, the sky and the earth are covered by vast wind and snow, and it is still a dark and gloomy tone.
Quietly, the connection with the statue of the Joyful Mother was severed.
Wei Tao exhaled a long breath and closed his eyes a little tiredly.
He spent the rest of the night trying to open the door and get into the hole.
But I tried and tried, but I didn't understand the rules of the cobweb, and I could only rub it at the mouth of the hole, and I couldn't really go into it.
A deserted settlement.
Wei Tao slowly drank tea, cup after cup.
The alfalfa serving behind him was boiling water and making tea almost all the time.
Ni sat cross-legged by the fire.
Place your hands on your knees, and each palm has a sparkling flower of the sacred tree.
Outside, there are also Alfalfa's younger brother and subordinates, who are skinning and deboning several livestock and setting up them in another tent for barbecue.
Outside the tent, the wind was howling and the snow was falling.
It was extremely quiet inside, except for the sound of Wei Tao cooing and swallowing tea.
The door curtain was lifted, and Alfalfa's younger brother Alfalfa came in, cringing and saying, "Eldest sister, the meat is roasted, is it ...... sent here?"
Half of his face was high and swollen, he even lost two teeth, and he still had some leaky air when he spoke.
"Don't you have a brain, don't you need to say!?"
Alfalfa frowned, and interrupted directly, "Of course it's baked and sent over, and it hasn't been cleaned up over there, how can adults dine in a bloodstained environment!?" ”
Frightened, Alfalfa trembled, didn't even dare to say a word of rebuttal, and hurriedly went out to prepare the tableware for eating.
Wei Tao drank the last cup of tea and sighed lowly, "It's normal for young people to be more vigorous, you just need to reprimand it a little, and there is no need to be so ruthless, so that the child is so scared that he doesn't dare to look at you more." ”
Alfalfa lowered her eyes and showed a respectful expression on her face.
"In the past, the slave maid was used to him too hard, so he developed this kind of arrogant and stupid character who didn't know how to advance or retreat, and he dared to show it in front of you, and if he didn't correct it well, he would definitely suffer a big loss in the future."
Wei Tao nodded, "This is your family matter, you can handle it yourself." ”
"It's just that I'm a kind-hearted person, and I can't see the bloody scenes, nor can I hear the crying of blood, so when you discipline in the future, it's best to stay away a little and don't let me see and hear it."
Alfalfa was slightly stunned, inexplicably thinking of how in the depths of the dark wind and snow, how Xi's mother was torn apart and eaten little by little in the terrible howl, and involuntarily a shiver of the spirit spirit, and even her throat was a little dry.
"Slave maid, slave maid go urge those subordinates to see if the meat is roasted."
She subconsciously got up, took two steps but stopped, first carefully filled the empty tea cup, and then walked out of the tent quickly, standing outside the door and exhaling a long breath, only to feel a little soft all over her body.
"What's wrong with the junior brother?"
"It scares people so much that they can't even walk steadily."
Ni Yan slowly opened his eyes, looking at the flower of the Divine Tree in his hand, which had lost its luster, and a little regret flashed between his eyebrows.
"I don't think much of her."
Wei Tao picked up the teacup, "Not only has she always been kind to her, but she also pulled her life back from the ghost gate, and I don't know why she is afraid of being like this." ”
After a pause, he saw the flower of the Divine Tree in Ni Yan's hand, as if he suddenly thought of something, and his tone suddenly turned cold, "Could it be that she plans to repay her debts after she goes back, and she doesn't want to supply the Divine Tree essence that Senior Sister needs for her subsequent cultivation?" ”
"Where did the junior brother go......
Ni Yan smiled leisurely, and was about to continue, but suddenly frowned, turned to look at the tent door curtain.
Wei Tao had slowly gotten up from his seat, and a dodge had already come to the wind and snow.
Taking another step forward, he stood on a gentle slope outside the settlement.
There was a soft click.
A basley shoe landed on the ground, leaving a shallow trail on the snow.
Wei Tao stood on the top of the slope, looking condescendingly at the bamboo cane in Tsing Yi, the man in the hat and linen shoes came slowly, and stopped on a raised bluestone.
Although the north wind was howling and the snow was falling, there was not a single snowflake on his body, not even the slightest wet mark, not at all like walking all the way against the wind and snow, but staying in the warm room like spring.
"This person is a little strange, he doesn't feel any traces of his true strength, but he is not afraid of the wind and snow, and even his clothes are dry and tidy."
Wei Tao exhaled softly, took his eyes off the man, and looked up into the distance.
With a faint fragrance, Ni Yan followed closely to his side.
She glanced at the man in the green coat, and a golden red color flashed in the depths of her eyes.
"Senior brother, don't be careless, this person seems to be a little strange."
Ni Yan frowned slightly, leaned closer and said softly.
The next moment, the man in Tsing Yi took off the hat on his head and looked at the two of them as well.
His eyes are black and white, and his pupils are like deep pools, but with the movement of raising his head, a white and blue light slowly lit up, and it brought a strange warm feeling to people on a snowy day with the cold wind howling.
As if under his gaze, the temperature seemed to be quietly rising, and an area came from winter to spring and summer.
Wei Tao's eyes flickered, staring at the melting snow near the dirt slope, and suddenly realized that the temperature was really rising, not that his perception was affected.
Suppressing the doubts that rose in his heart, he slowly asked, "Who are you, what do you want to do when you come to my house?" ”
"It seems that I was lucky, I chose a random direction to investigate, and it didn't take too long to make a surprising discovery and find a suitable target candidate."
"Being able to meet the two of you here, even if you turn around and go back immediately, it is enough to return to Miss Qing, and you may even be given a reward, so that I can break through the barrier that has been blocked for a long time and advance to a higher level."
The man in Tsing Yi had a strange tone in his voice, and the end of each sentence was slightly raised, sounding as if he was chanting and singing.
He spoke in a calm tone, and his expression was relaxed, as if he was enjoying the snow in his own garden, rather than being in an empty and dead wilderness.
Wei Tao looked at him expressionlessly, and his tone gradually turned cold, "Do you have no ears or no brains, I asked who you are and what you are going to do when you come to my house, but I listened to you sing for a long time, and you didn't answer my questions positively." ”
The man in Tsing Yi only smiled slightly when he heard this, "You practice martial arts, and your body is full of qi and blood, it seems that this is what you think you rely on, but in front of me, you are actually nothing." ”
"Qi and Blood Martial Artist, it sounds so majestic, just put it with us, and the treatment of a watchdog is enough for them to be grateful to Dade and cry bitterly."
"Since the completion of boxing, no one has ever said such things in front of me with such a posture."
"I wanted to have a peaceful conversation with you and have a good chat, but you had to be so aggressive, completely ignoring the kindness I unleashed."
Wei Tao took a step forward and reached the edge of the slope.
When he spoke again, his voice became very soft, as if muttering to himself, "The road is chosen by oneself, once the direction is wrong, it is a mistake that turns into a thousand years of hatred, and then looking back on a hundred years."
But since you came up to the pole to find death, then it's no wonder that I don't show mercy, and I'm going to beat you to death in a while. ”
"I don't know what is dead or alive, I will use the means you are best at to take you down and talk about other things."
The man in Tsing Yi slammed the bamboo cane in his hand, and his face instantly became extremely cold.
The next moment, he disappeared in place without warning, and when he reappeared, he was already in front of Wei Tao, and even a palm fell.
Between the waving of the wide sleeves of the robe, the sound of wind and thunder loomed, and even the howling wind and snow froze for it.
Rumble!!!
The heat was so hot that even the air was scorched and distorted.
Boom!
He landed heavily and stood at the top of the dirt slope.
His expression was slightly stunned, because the shot he was determined to win just now fell short.
Wei Tao and Ni Yan have already come to more than ten zhang away.
The two stood side by side and did not fight back.
Instead, he quietly looked at the man in Tsing Yi at the top of the slope, his eyes full of inquiry.
"There is no explosion of qi and blood, and there is no true strength covering the body, but there is an aura similar to the true intent of martial arts that flashes away."
Ni Yan observed for a moment and frowned slightly, "And the rising heat wave that he brought when he made a move, there was no warning, it seemed to appear out of thin air." ”
"It didn't appear out of thin air, it seemed to have something to do with his eyes that radiated a blue and white light."
Wei Tao said, "Senior sister is on the side to help me suppress the formation, let me try what he is capable of, whether he can support his own nonsense." ”
The man in Tsing Yi looked a little ugly.
He took a deep breath, ready to teach the two of them a real lesson.
It's just that before his anger can be vented, his face changes again.
The sky darkened silently.
Centered on the location of this dirt slope, a large area seems to be divided.
The man in Tsing Yi raised his head suddenly, and a hideous and terrifying behemoth body was suddenly reflected in his eyes, and he suddenly smashed down with a fist.
"This is the martial artist that Miss Qing said?"
"No matter how you look at it, it's a demon in human skin!"
"The Mountain of Xuandan, the Dawn of the Blue Bird, the Beginning of the Fire Dragon......"
He let out a low cry, and the heat wave around him rose, and suddenly the fire was blazing.
"Procedure...... Qingling! ”
