Chapter 395: Venerable Lord
At night, the moon is white and the wind is clear. The surging coolness passed through the forest, and the entire Lingyin Mountain seemed much quieter.
Wei Tao still left his residence at the same time and walked along the path in the direction of his daily practice. Crossing a small bamboo forest, he slowly stopped and looked to his side.
A middle-aged man wearing a crown and a green shirt stood quietly by the spring, looking down at the gurgling water.
His clothes look simple and plain, but he has a dusty temperament. Although he stood there, it seemed as if he was about to rise in the wind and disappear into the void in the next moment.
Wei Tao frowned slightly, making sure that he had never seen this person in the Spirit Seal Mountain before. The middle-aged man turned around at this time, and a flat smile appeared on his face.
"I have heard the name of Elder Su for a long time, but I haven't seen it for personal reasons, and today I met by chance on a moonlit night, only to find that Elder Su is so young, he is simply a handsome and upright young man." Wei Tao couldn't help but be stunned.
Handsome and tall? Straight is indeed upright. After all, he is now more than two meters tall, or even close to three meters tall, standing there is like an iron tower, and there is really no one more upright than him in the entire Lingyin Mountain.
As for the handsome description. He raised his hand and touched his golden scalp, and soon accepted the compliment.
Wei Tao clenched his hands into fists,
"I don't know what this senior brother is called?"
"My surname is Lin, you can call me Senior Brother Lin." The man's eyes were as bright as stars, and he looked at him deeply.
"Feng Xun came to me before and said that there is a rare talent in this mountain who can be directly given the position of elder, but I was still a little hesitant at that time, until I met Senior Brother Su today, and I knew that what he said was true." Wei Tao smiled shyly,
"My qualifications are blunt, and I don't deserve such praise from Senior Brother Lin." The middle-aged man smiled slightly,
"This is not a compliment, but it is true, Senior Brother Su was able to defeat Madam Snake at a young age, and if he has a good experience in the future, he can definitely become the mainstay of this sect." After a pause, he continued,
"Our cultivation focuses on accumulation, that is, we must rely on hard work day after day, year after year, to polish a deeper foundation, so that we can sail quickly and naturally. Therefore, although Senior Brother Su entered the realm quickly in the early stage, he must not only draw a quick word in the follow-up practice, so that the foundation is easily unstable, but he will not reach the height that can be achieved by practicing slowly and step by step. ”
"In addition, I must emphasize that Senior Brother Su is young and vigorous, and he should also polish his temperament and have a good relationship with other elders, after all, everyone is the same family in the mountain, so there should be no more conflicts. Otherwise, if you continue to develop like this, you will have more and more enemies in the Lingyin Mountain, and even if your personal strength is the strongest in the future, I am afraid it will be difficult to gain a firm foothold in the Lingyin Mountain. ”
"Senior Brother Lin is too worried, I have always been humble and kind, and what I like most is to stay quietly alone, never have the idea of causing trouble, and I will not have any conflicts with other classmates for no reason." Wei Tao lowered his eyes and showed a gentle smile on his face,
"Whoever thinks I have a bad temper and needs to be corrected, but I should reflect on myself and why I have such unreasonable thoughts." The middle-aged man looked at him deeply, and suddenly laughed,
"Then be it, there have been some unfairness inside and outside recently, Senior Brother Su should also pay attention, don't leave the mountain gate casually, and remember to warn in time if there is an abnormal situation."
"Also, Shanmen will soon organize people to participate in the Righteous Path Alliance, with Senior Brother Su's strength level, he should be selected into it, you can make some preparations in advance, if you need anything, go to Senior Brother Feng and let him help you solve it."
"Is the righteous path an alliance?" Wei Tao thoughtfully,
"It's exactly what I want, and I can also see what the spell masters of other sects can learn from." He watched the middle-aged man go away, but according to his previous plan, he went straight to the mountain behind the inaccessible Lingyin.
After a few words of conversation, Wei Tao roughly guessed the identity of the middle-aged man, but he didn't take it too seriously.
Regardless of whether the other party is the Lord of the Spirit Seal Mountain, or whether he is the Lord of the Spirit Yin Mountain, it doesn't mean much to him.
In Wei Tao's eyes, Lingyin Mountain provided him with the needs of life and practice, so he reciprocated Li for making some efforts for the mountain gate, and everyone was polite and friendly on weekdays, which was the best way to get along.
As for becoming a new generation of mountain masters and obtaining the inheritance of the Spirit Seal Rune, he has no plans for the time being, and he is not ready to invest any time and energy in this.
Therefore, if anyone regards him as an imaginary enemy vying for power and profit, he is really blind, and he may lose his life because of it.
In a hidden mountain col. Wei Tao lowered his body, placed one hand in front of him, curled up at his waist with the other, and posed a red line fist starting pose that was too familiar to be familiar anymore.
Rumble! He progressed to the ground and threw a punch. Practicing the red line with both fists, and growing lotus under his feet step by step. The wind whistled like thunder.
After the tea time, Wei Tao's body changed and he stepped on the circle in a row. From the red practice of double lines, step by step lotus, to create something out of nothing, or not extremely Tailai.
In an instant, there was a crackling sound. There was also a torrential mist that quickly spread. Soon the entire col was filled, and it was still spreading towards the surrounding area.
A long snake looming, between the virtual and the real, is located between the mist and clouds, constantly changing with the infinite hands.
Wei Tao was completely immersed in his practice. After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly withdrew his fist. The hands are painted in the void, bringing out the afterimage of the debut.
There was a sudden light in front of him, and a piece of green jade square seals quietly appeared. There are hundreds of them flying around the body.
And as time passed, the green jade square seals seemed to merge with the surging clouds and mist, and it was difficult to distinguish each other.
After a moment, Wei Tao retracted all his spiritual power and exhaled softly. All the green jade square seals gradually changed at this time and disappeared silently.
Silently, the status bar manifests into the void. Wei Tao gathered his spirit and focused his attention on the jade seal charm.
Name: Jade Seal Charm. Progress: Two hundred and twenty. Status: Twelve paragraphs broken. Realm: Great Charmer.
Description: Mutually corroborating with the mist and flowing clouds, this exercise has been evolved and improved.
"Whether to consume a gold coin to increase the progress of the Jade Seal Talisman cultivation." A line of golden handwriting appeared in front of him, Wei Tao was silent for a moment, and directly chose yes.
Swish! The status bar suddenly froze, and a gold coin disappeared. The mysterious aura descended silently, and then quickly became surging, enveloping everything from the true spirit to the physical body.
Immediately after that, the cyan light worked and turned into spiritual power and integrated into the body. Wei Tao held his breath and contemplated, carefully understanding and perceiving.
It is clearly visible that the Dao runes light up, and then blend into the blue light little by little. And as this process continues, the spiritual power is also more condensed and strengthened than before, and the next period of time.
The gold coins disappeared one by one, and the jade seal charm quickly increased. It wasn't until he came to the thirty stages of breaking the limit that there was no way to enter, that he finally stopped.
Wei Tao took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. I didn't see any movement in my hands, and without warning, nearly a hundred green jade square seals appeared in front of me.
The next moment, he stretched out a finger and just casually drew it. In an instant, more than 100 blue seals surrounded his body.
"This is the highest level of the Jade Seal Charm."
"That's pretty much it."
"If I want to make the spiritual seal of the Imperial Envoy Spirit Seal Mountain, I still have to practice the spirit seal talisman on the jade seal to the consummation level, so that I have a chance."
"In addition, in order to obtain the qualification to practice the Spiritual Seal Root Mantra, it is too much trouble to go through all kinds of so-called tests. With this time and energy, I might as well practice other spells to increase the strength of my distraction, even if I delve deeper into the secrets of the Mist Snake, it will be more attractive than competing for the position of the Lord of the Spirit Seal Mountain. Wei Tao thought silently, a snake tail behind him stretched his body, and the gray and white scales shimmered faintly in the mist.
The head of the snake slowly approached, rubbing against his body. It's like a very well-behaved pet.
He rubbed the cold snake scales, looked up at the moonlit and starry night sky, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought for a while.
The perception of the snake's mystical thoughts became clearer and clearer. It seems that as long as he is willing, he can take a step forward without any obstacles, complete the sympathy between heaven and man, and become a martial arts master.
Moreover, if he is sympathetic to heaven and man here, he will definitely receive greater attention from the true intent of the beetle snake, and the gold content is even higher than that of the Wuji Grandmaster in the Great Zhou Territory.
However, Wei Tao was a little hesitant. I haven't made a decision on whether to really take this step or not.
After all, it's easy to move forward, but it's hard to go back. It is better to be conservative, so as not to have irreversible effects.
Wei Tao was thinking to himself, and suddenly opened his eyes. A look of confusion flashed between his eyebrows, and he looked into the dark depths of the valley.
Under the darkness of the night, a figure shrouded in gray robes walked quickly and ghostly through the deep mountains.
He seemed to be quite familiar with the environment, even in the case of poor sight, he was familiar with the road, as if he were walking in his own living room.
Soon after, the gray-robed man suddenly stopped. He hid behind a tree and listened intently to the sound of the mountain wind.
There was also a very strong mist of water, which quietly rose from the source of the sound. Syllable! Bang Bang Bang! The gray-robed man's brows furrowed, and he heard a crisp sound that seemed to be a whip breaking through the air, and it came to his ears at once.
"Forget it, I'm going to determine the location of the Spirit Seal Rune this time, and there's no need to make extraneous branches." He thought about it for a moment, decided to ignore the strange sound and fog, and turned around to continue sneaking forward.
But after walking some distance. The gray-robed man stopped again. Look back again at the thickest part of the fog.
"It always felt like something wasn't right."
"If you don't investigate clearly, I'm afraid you'll miss the big thing."
"The Spirit Seal Mountain Lord has not recovered from his serious injuries, as long as I am careful not to be besieged by those elders, there should be no danger." After hesitating for a moment, several thoughts flashed through his heart, and he finally turned around and quietly disappeared into the depths of the mist.
Moments later, the Grey-robed Man appeared at the entrance to a hidden col. He narrowed his eyes, and the bright red lines carved on his face slowly stretched, like flower petals blooming.
"Stealth Charm, Night Wandering Spirit." The gray-robed man whispered to himself, and wisps of spiritual power began to gather, all of which were submerged into those eyes, shining brightly in the dark mist.
After a while, he closed his eyes, and a puzzled expression appeared on his face that was so pale that it was almost transparent.
"I just sensed some kind of strange aura fluctuation, but when I came here, I disappeared inexplicably?"
"Could it be that my perception is wrong?" After a moment of silent thought, the gray-robed man clinged to the rock wall and slowly walked towards the mountain col.
Swish! Whew...... At this moment, a rustling sound suddenly sounded. The distance is getting closer.
In the blink of an eye, I was already here. But at this moment, he disappeared without warning. The gray-robed man paused, holding his breath and listening.
The night breeze is gentle, and the white fog is thick. There was silence all around, only his heartbeat could be heard. At this moment, he realized that his surroundings had become dead silent.
Even the night breeze that has been blowing seems to have disappeared without a trace. This strange feeling...... It was as if there was some unspeakable danger, hidden in a fog that was getting thicker and thicker.
"This place can't be haunted."
"Forget it, I'm still going to hurry up and complete the task, even if there is really an abnormal situation, as long as you take action, there is no problem that cannot be solved." The gray-robed man slowly exhaled the turbid qi that had been held for a long time, and then turned around a little, and was about to leave here as fast as possible.
As the body turns, the gaze moves with it. But in the next moment, he froze suddenly. The hairs on his body stood on end, and his back was covered with a layer of cold sweat, and he screamed almost directly.
"I'm cool, when did this thing run to the back!?"
"Could it be that Mrs. Snake is a mother-in-law who has returned to her soul, and she almost shocked Lao Tzu's heart to beat out." The gray-robed man stared at the huge snake head that was facing him face to face, almost sticking to his face, and with his extremely strong willpower, he didn't have an emotional explosion and shot wildly.
He calmed his breath and breathed a sigh of relief. I began to think about what means I could use to kill this big snake without making too much movement.
The gray-robed man slowly took a step back, his hands clenched silently behind him. The serpent didn't move, just watched him quietly.
I don't know why, he seems to see scrutiny and curiosity from the pair of vertical boys. It was as if he was observing him condescendingly.
It was as if he were a brute who had fallen into the trap of a hunter. Suddenly, the monstrous head of the snake quickly retreated, retreating into the mist.
The gray-robed man's hole shrank, and his ears trembled slightly.
"What are you looking for, is this a scavenger hunt?" Quietly, a man's voice came from behind the big snake, with a strong sense of curiosity.
The gray-robed man gathered his gaze and looked into the distance. I finally saw who was speaking. And at the moment when his gaze fell on the other party, even in his state of mind, he couldn't help but squint.
On the surface, it looked like a bald head that was too strong to speak. But...... What the hell is that long snake suspended in the dark void around this bald head?
What's even more bizarre is that he only saw the head of the serpent, but he didn't see its tail at all. If you look closely, it looks like a tail grows from behind the strong man opposite!
? It's interesting, it's really interesting. Unexpectedly, Lingyin Mountain, which prides itself on being a decent and famous family, is also secretly reining in evil cultivators like him, which really makes people laugh out of their big teeth.
The white mist surged, and the gentle male voice sounded again, reaching the ears of the gray-robed man.
"You're not from Lingyin Mountain."
"And I'm talking to you and getting no answer."
"This kind of impolite behavior has greatly hurt my weak heart."
"So, you have to pay with your life." The gray-robed man was stunned. What kind of compensation does this man say?
Just didn't speak, and you had to pay for your life? The gray-robed man turned his head to look at the core area of Lingyin Mountain, but a twisted and hideous smile appeared on his face.
"Do you know what you're talking about?" He sneered silently and slowly approached.
And as the distance shortened, under the cover of the heavy gray robe, his shoulders, arms, chest, back, feet, and legs all lit up like blood-red lines.
"You think a snake-related spell will scare me?"
"You know, even if it's Mrs. Snake's mother-in-law's soul-snatching spirit python, it's just my own defeated men." The words fell, and the gray-robed man slowly stepped forward and stepped out!
Suddenly, the ground shook, and the rocks cracked. A gust of wind suddenly rose and whistled towards Wei Tao. The gray-robed man burst out, and in an instant, he was already within five feet.
The scarlet lines around its body shone brightly, condensing in front of it into the shape of a hideous claw. A lightning bolt struck a cross, tearing through the air and slashing down.
At this moment, a strange feeling suddenly rose in his heart. Facing the sharp claws that were about to stab the body, the other side still looked calm.
Didn't even cast any spells. Even the big snake that seemed to spit out clouds and mist disappeared at this moment, and there was no trace to be found.
What the hell is this guy thinking? In the face of his violent attack, which was completely different from the other talismans, what was this person thinking?
Could it be that he had never seen such a brutal fighting style of close deathmatch, so he was stunned? But it doesn't matter.
Because this guy didn't know it, he had already let him come closer. is destined to face defeat and death.
The gray-robed man only knew that outside of Wuzhang, perhaps the great charmer who specialized in combat would make a quick move, which would still make him have some scruples.
But within five zhang, he is the only one who is ruthless and fast. Even in the face of the most powerful great charmer, he dared to make a bold move and take it away.
Lurking closer, bursting out, and fighting in close blood. That's the biggest difference between him and other talismans.
"How dare you be so easily approached by me, the gods can't save you!" An orangutan claw fell like lightning.
The gray-robed man's eyes flashed with an almost crazy light, waiting for the intoxicating sight of flesh and blood flying.
Katsa!! At this moment, a golden-like palm rose without warning. Blocked in the way of the Scarlet Bonus Claw.
There was a screech. Wei Tao put his five fingers together, gathered into a whip, and suddenly threw it forward. In an instant, the air tore apart and the sound exploded.
Infinity whipped out, slamming head-on into the crackling claws. A thunderclap rolled through the col. The claws collided with the arm, splashing a large canopy of dazzling fire.
Then, the claws were flicked high. The two figures collided violently, and they clashed head-to-head several times. Then they each stepped back.
The gray-robed man's face changed drastically, and he could hardly believe his eyes. When facing other great spell masters, as long as he was close enough, he had great confidence that he could have the last laugh in hand-to-hand combat.
However, this bald man who looks like an iron tower completely exceeded his expectations. Whether it was the collision that didn't have any fancy just now, or the claws that were snapped off, everything told him that the opponent's hand-to-hand combat ability was not below him.
It can even shroud him over him.
"The spell master of Lingyin Mountain will have such a metamorphosis."
"It's a monster ......"
"You have to fight him back with all your might, or you don't know what the outcome will be until the others find out about the situation." The gray-robed man's body tensed, staring at Wei Tao a few steps away, and several thoughts flashed in his heart in an instant.
"You're good."
"It allows me to stretch my muscles a little bit and move my body."
"That's why I didn't cast a spell, because I was afraid that it would disturb our confrontation." Wei Tao ripped off his torn shirt, revealing a body like a golden stone.
He twisted his neck, making a series of snapping clicks. With a smile of great anticipation on his face,
"Then, I'm going to increase my strength next, and I hope you can let me use it to my heart's content, and don't be like other spell masters, I haven't really used my strength yet, and I'm turned into a puddle of mud." Rumble!
The words fell, and the thunder exploded. Wei Tao tore through the mist, and in an instant, he crossed a distance of several zhang and smashed down with a fist.
"I don't believe it, you are a talisman master of Lingyin Mountain, and you can beat my strongest form in simple hand-to-hand combat!" The gray-robed man did not retreat, but advanced, folded his hands together, and rushed forward to meet him.
The two looked at each other, and different thoughts rose in their hearts. The next moment. A loud bang exploded in the depths of the quiet mountain forest.
A figure flew out upside down. It crashed into a large area of mountains and rocks and trees, rolled and fell directly off the cliff, spilling large red blood stains along the way.
"This person pursues strength and speed, so he engraves the spirit pattern on the surface of his body, and uses his body as a trigger charm, which is a bit interesting."
"It's a pity that it's still not enough, and it didn't block my full punch." Wei Tao slowly straightened up and looked down.
He narrowed his eyes suddenly, and a light flashed in his eyes. A broken body rose from the bottom of the cliff, a pair of translucent wings spread out behind its back, and it fled into the distance without looking back.
"He ran away."
"It's an insult to me."
"Unforgivable, absolutely unforgivable." The corners of Wei Tao's eyes twitched slightly, and he took a step forward without hesitation, chasing the gray-robed man who spread his wings and flew high.
Soon after. Several figures quickly came to the col. Looking closely at the traces of the battle that remained, almost all of them had a look of surprise and confusion.
………………………………
"Vulture, how can you be so seriously injured and weakened to this extent?"
"Can you be injured like this, did you encounter the Spirit Seal Mountain Lord when you infiltrated?" It was a tall, beautiful woman who spoke.
A long ink-colored dress fluttered in the wind, showing her figure to the fullest. Under the reflection of the moonlight, the snow-white skin in the black gauze roam, presenting a thrilling beauty.
"Ahem...... the gray-robed man coughed up a mouthful of blood, and said in a trembling voice,
"No, it's not the Lord of Lingyin Mountain......" He didn't finish a word, he coughed violently, and a large stream of blood spilled from between his mouth and nose.
"It's not the Lord of Lingyin Mountain, so you have exposed your whereabouts and been surrounded by those talismans of Lingyin Mountain?"
"I haven't really approached the core area of Lingyin Mountain at all, so naturally I won't fall into the encirclement they have laid out." The vulture's face was miserable, and he gasped for breath,
"I was seriously injured by a guy who was so strong that he couldn't talk, and he was smashed with a few punches in quick succession."
"How many punches in a row, smashed into serious injuries?"
"Vulture, are you kidding me?" A trace of doubt flashed between the woman's eyebrows,
"Even if you are not injured, it is impossible for the Spirit Seal Mountain Lord to beat you like this with just your fists."
"Mo Zhu, I don't want to explain the failure of my mission, but the fact is that this is the case." The vulture had a bitter expression and sighed,
"It's just a bald strong man who not only broke my spell, but also caught up with me and beat me to a serious injury with a few punches." The woman in the black dress seemed to want to laugh.
But looking at her companion's serious and pained expression, she quickly became serious.
"What kind of spell did he use when he fought you?" The vulture shook her head,
"I don't want to believe it, but I still think that guy didn't cast any kind of spell from beginning to end, but used a mysterious and terrifying power to defeat me."
"No spells, suspicious of other unknown power systems?" Mo Zhu's brows furrowed, thoughtful.
When she spoke again, her voice had become extremely solemn,
"We must go back immediately and report your discovery tonight to the Lord as soon as possible, without any delay or hesitation." The vulture was stunned for a moment and muttered to himself,
"If you go back now, the mission of Lingyin Mountain ......"
"Compared to what you've discovered, the Spirit Seal Rune isn't that important." Mo Zhu took a deep breath and exhaled slowly,
"I don't know what the Voidwalker means, but since you can match what the Lord has said, your discovery is a first-class important event that should be prioritized above everything else." The vulture asked suspiciously,
"What did the Lord say?" At this moment, a sudden wind howled and broke a large area of trees in the distance.
Mozhu and the vulture turned their heads aggressively to look towards the place where the wind was rising. But as they moved, the wind stopped without warning.
The night was quiet again. The two looked at each other, but before they could speak, they found that a mist of water was rising, quickly covering a large area.
"It's coming!"
"He's coming......"
"I've run so far that he can still catch up!" The vulture shuddered, and his voice was a little distorted.
