Chapter 44: What Do You Lack?
"Director, I can't go back today...... Yes, I will return to Yanjing tomorrow afternoon and expect to return on Tuesday. ”
In the Shangqing Palace, Ai Yu hung up the phone and slowly turned around.
In front of him is a huge mural of thirteen gods holding a stone cauldron as if they were holding a sacrifice.
After the black flag was "destroyed", the elders of Maoshan Jiufeng collectively appeared. They wanted to exchange the "Palm Thunder" spell on the condition of visiting the Shangqing Palace.
This is a sure-fire deal for Ai Yu, but the meaning of Yu Maoshan is different.
Muhe Taoist said that the inheritance of the Shangqing faction has been cut off for hundreds of years, and many spells are just a name in the old paper pile for the current Maoshan people. It's no wonder that the Dao Leader named Yuan Yan can only use one move to attach a fist.
Ai Yu agreed, and then she saw this mural with spicy eyes.
There are 33 halls in the entire Shangqing Palace, and the layout and characteristics of each hall are different. The elders of Maoshan said that the last hall is like an art museum, and the whole world is full of murals.
Even with prior warning, Ai Yu was still stimulated by this picture. She looked from the corner of the main hall and walked into the past of the Protoss Continent little by little.
Four billion years have passed, and after all, Ai Yu has lost part of his memory.
These historical fragments fixed on the wall, like flashback comic strips, take her to fill in the gaps.
The hometown is far more vast than Ai Yu knows.
In the past, in the Protoss continent, there were gods, earthly gods, subracial immortals, and demons and spirits.
The area where Ai Yu lived was only the core territory of the Thirteen Heavenly Gods.
It is equivalent to a higher education institution specially designated by the Protoss for the cultivation of the next generation. The so-called "clansmen" she met were all her classmates and teachers.
It turns out that she was once a seed in captivity, no wonder she has no concept of parents since she can remember.
So much so that until he died, Ai Yu thought that the Protoss was a naturally raised race.
If that "sacrifice" ends successfully, she and her classmates may usher in two different endings. Either continue their studies or be eliminated from the Hui people's land.
The last mural shows the complete Protoss Continent, and the outline is exactly the same as the law space in Ai Yu's sea of knowledge.
She had thought that the continent was vast and sparsely populated. Except for the central area, the periphery is deserted at all.
I didn't expect that the periphery was the real clan land, where thirty-three tribes lived!
This is a continent with a very complete biological chain and a strict hierarchy.
It is also the home she has been away from for four billion years.
Can you go back?
Even if there is nothing left, only a ruin remains, you should go back and pay respects, just like Qingming every year.
No matter where she is, no matter how busy she is, she will definitely find time to go back to Nanxiang to worship in those days.
Ai Yu sat quietly in front of the last mural, her right eye stinging and barely open.
[No, I can't. 】
[Xiaocui, can you say two more words? It's so tiring to guess and guess. 】
[Too weak, will die.] 】
[Okay, needless to say, I know......]
Ai Yu closed her eyes in frustration.
The cultivation is too weak, even if Xiao Cui can take her through the space, the physical body can't bear it. But the earth can't get married, and if she wants to set foot in the void, she must change places to cultivate.
If the creation of the sea space is over, you can enter the space to cultivate.
But this space is still slowly growing, counting on these mortal-level creatures on the earth to conceive and maintain health, I don't know if it will wait until the Year of the Monkey. If you want to promote the maturity of the space, you must find a real spirit plant and demon beast for it, and you still have to leave the earth.
In short, Ai Yu is facing an endless cycle.
Outside the Shangqing Palace, the Maoshan Sect Leader was waiting for Ai Yu to come out like a junior, and they were all waiting for Ai Yu to come out.
The Great Elder looked up at the sky, "Ai Xiaoyou should have arrived at the Thirty-Third Hall, soon." ”
The mural is the essence of the Shangqing Palace, and those who have understanding will inevitably gain something when they enter it. Needless to say, Lao Tzu, Wang Chongyang and other Taoist ancestors said that the foundation of their Shangqing School in Maoshan was also derived from that group of murals.
The Shangqing faction was formed in the Eastern Jin Dynasty and was named after the special dissemination and practice of the Shangqing Sutra.
The practice of "Shangqing Sutra" is derived from the "Huangting Sutra", also known as "Dadong Zhenjing". The "Huang Ting Jing" is said to be a fairy who taught the law to Wei Huacun, a female Taoist priest in the Jin Dynasty, who was also the first generation of the Shangqing sect.
What made Maoshan the center of the Shangqing faction was the ninth-generation grandmaster Tao Hongjing.
It was on the basis of these murals in the Shangqing Palace that this grandmaster compiled the Taoist genealogy of immortals, called the "True Spirit Position Karma Map". He also combined the concepts of Taoism and Buddhism, advocating the convergence of Taoism, Confucianism, and Buddhism, believing that "there are hundreds of laws, and there is no realm of the three religions".
Because of Tao Hongjing's knowledge and achievements, later generations once called the Shangqing faction "Maoshan Sect".
Maoshan thus became the later Taoist holy land, and the Lingbao of Gesoap Mountain, Longhu Mountain Zhengyi, and called the three mountains of Fuqi. By the time of the Tang Dynasty, the Maoshan Sect had already been compatible with and absorbed the Lingbao Zhai method and the Zhengyi method.
Then in modern times, the mountains and rivers were broken and the national disaster was at the head.
Many capable people went out of the mountains to save the country, and naturally included the Taoist priests of Maoshan.
Monks also die, and the difference between them and mortals is how many pads they can pull on their backs before they die.
The battle ended in the final chapter, and our country did not die.
Because of their superb spells, the Shangqing faction has done a lot of things to charge into battle. In the end, because of the heavy casualties, the inheritance was gradually broken.
Fortunately, Maoshan is still there, even if the Shangqing is cut off, there is still a positive faction majoring in the "Three Emperors Sutra" to support it. But without the spell as a pillar, no matter how strong the Zhengyi Fu is, it is a rootless wanderer.
Who knew that the national crisis would stop, and civil strife would arise again.
The Great Elder looked at the plaque in front of the Shangqing Palace, and his heart was mixed.
This ancient plaque comes from Tao Hongjing, which has been handed down since the Northern and Southern Dynasties for 15,600 years.
I don't know how many small sects and sects have been annihilated, and more of the people who survived are no longer easy to set foot in the mundane.
The so-called era of the end of the law is not that the aura of heaven and earth is different from that of ancient times, but that it is no longer inherited. And the space for the monks to live has been squeezed to the point where there is almost none.
Today, there is even a monk with a wonderful Taoism, and this person is walking outside as a policeman.
All the old Taoist priests in Maoshan were very curious about what this Ai Xiaoyou could get from the Thirty-Three Palaces.
……
After reading the comic strip, Ai Yu is looking for the forbidden core of the Shangqing Palace.
Every magic weapon has a core that is equivalent to the center. If this magic weapon is in a state of being put away, most of the monks can drip blood and refine it. Shangqing Palace is in a state of sacrifice at this time, which requires breaking the forbidden core before you can refine the magic weapon for your own use.
In front of the old Taoist priests of Maoshan, the ancestral ancestral hall of the ancestors was refined and taken away......
It's impossible!
But Ai Yu was still very curious about who refined this Shangqing Palace.
Why is this person so familiar with the Protoss?
Is he or she from the Protoss continent?
If so, does that mean that you are not the only one still alive?
Even if you can't refine it, at least you can see what the real name of this space magic weapon is, and you can always get some information.
Thirty-three halls have been visited, and the most likely place for the core to exist is this hall with frescoes. After searching to no avail, Ai Yu restored his right eye to its true color.
With the addition of divine consciousness and divine pupils, the murals around him are even more dazzling than before.
A kind of imperceptible vastness erupted from the naked eye, making all of Ai Yu's pores open. Her right eye was like a switch, turning on an ancient spell.
One, two, three, four......
A total of thirteen law runes constructed of the Phantom of the Protoss suddenly appeared beside Ai Yu. Each of them seemed to be ten feet taller, and Ai Yu was surrounded in the middle, looking like a lamb to be slaughtered.
There are two colorful eyes in front of her phantom, the advanced Divine Pupil Clan?
Ai Yu looked at the others with a dry mouth, divine wings, divine feet, divine arms, and divine nightmares......
It was the first time she had observed the Thirteen Heavenly Gods so closely, and each of them had a special existence in them that could be advanced into an artifact. These phantoms in front of you are obviously the ultimate model after advancement.
[Xiao Cui, if I hadn't died, would you have a chance to change from a one-eyed dragon to a pair of titanium alloys? 】
[Yes.] 】
[Then you are still green, what is the difference between you and those two kaleidoscopes?] 】
[Beautiful. 】
Ai Yu: ......
I don't know if it's saying that the kaleidoscope is good-looking, or if it's good-looking yourself.
Whatever it meant, Ai Yu felt the need to cultivate Xiao Cui's aesthetics.
The Thirteen Law Phantoms did not attack Ai Yu after surrounding her, and when she communicated with Xiao Cui Shennian, these phantoms shook in a strange rhythm.
Ai Yu observed for a moment, and then remembered the thirteen patriarchs who had held the ceremony on the stone cauldron in the first place. They also made similar movements at that time, and they also cooperated with strange gestures, and then the laws of heaven and earth were chaotic.
Won't you have to go through another ruin?
Ai Yu panicked and wanted to break through the encirclement. Only then did she realize that as long as she wanted to go, the invisible law would firmly bind her in place, and she couldn't move at all.
Once resistance is abandoned, freedom is restored.
After a few attempts like this, some of the phantom's preparations seemed to be over. As if they were tired of birds returning to their nests, they all rushed towards Ai Yu, and disappeared after touching it.
At this moment, Ai Yu's feelings were worse than the five horses splitting their bodies.
First of all, the eyes, the left and right eyes are more uncomfortable than dripping chili water.
Then there were hundreds of limbs, and the pain of separation and reorganization of flesh and bone was countless times stronger than the pain of the Nine Styles of Forging Body.
Ai Yu fell to his knees, and then crawled, curled up, and trembled a little. It's an instinctive reaction of the body and it's not controlled at all.
[Forging body, nine styles! ] 】
When she was about to fall unconscious in pain, Xiao Cui suddenly roared angrily with her divine thoughts. Shen Nian had no sound, and the so-called roar was like a sledgehammer smashing on Ai Yu's head, pulling her consciousness back.
Ai Yu held on and started from the first style obediently.
She has long been close to Xiaocheng with this set of body refining exercises, but she is always one breath away. Now, in order to divert his attention, he unconsciously finished the full set of poses.
The forging body is small, and the qualitative change feeling that is clearer than in memory has appeared.
This sensation is not how tough the skin is, or how much strength has increased. Instead, every cell in his body has become more energetic, and it seems that the speed of metabolism has increased several times.
Along with this, the pain of the possession of the law phantom has also been greatly reduced.
Ai Yu lay on the floor panting heavily, she probably understood what Xiao Cui meant. Before, the physical body was not up to standard, and the law was added to the body and I couldn't bear it. Now it's obviously qualified, and the acceptance is much higher.
When she regained her strength and used her divine sense to look inside her body, she found that there was a pure law rune entrenched in thirteen places on her body, just like the original divine pupil.
This is an artifact that has collected all the thirteen heavenly gods?
Ai Yu condensed his divine consciousness on his back, and there were indeed faint traces of wings there, which were divine wings.
After standing up, the shadow next to his feet was also a little weird, this is a nightmare.
The rest of the world also changes, but the eyes are synchronized left and right, and all of them turn a light shade of green.
It looked like the emerald was diluted, but Xiao Cui's happiness Ai Yu felt the same way. Her connection with the Divine Pupil has become stronger, as if the former Divine Pupil was closer to the artifact, but now it is really her eyes.
Ai Yu smiled bitterly and pinched the trick, wanting to clean up the sweat stains for Shi Jingchen's technique, but the almost instantaneous spell frightened her again.
Actually laid the foundation? When was this? It doesn't feel at all!
[Divine body. 】
Yes, she now has a full divine body.
The monk built the foundation to expand the dantian nine times, and the process was like digging a cave. It is necessary to tap the potential little by little, and it is also necessary to constantly consolidate the four walls. In this way, it can carry mana that is higher in quality and quantity.
The true Protoss body itself is the best carrier of the law, so why should it be improved.
Although Ai Yu still needs to comprehend these laws that suddenly melt into her body, she has undergone a qualitative change, and she is no longer the mortal with the naked eye on the earth.
Even, it is closer to the full version of the god than the former god Ai Yu.
The dantian suddenly expanded, giving Ai Yu the feeling of emptiness, and she ran the exercises for a while before filling the mana in the dantian. Looking at this Shangqing Palace again, there is no longer that thick sense of history.
This Taoist temple is by no means something that some ordinary god clan can toss, its mission seems to be for inheritance, the inheritance of the god clan.
When ordinary people or monks enter here, they can only obtain cultivation exercises, while when they enter, they can obtain laws. These laws are different from the Purple Pupil Patriarch who they extracted from heaven and earth, but they are derived from the deceased Thirteen Heavenly God Clan.
Could it be a retreat arranged by the Protoss?
Ai Yu sighed, stood up and made an ancient salute to the murals around him. It is not only to thank the predecessors of the Protoss, but also to thank the ancestors of Maoshan who are like picking up leaks.
Thank them for their countless generations of careful care of this Taoist temple, otherwise it would not be her turn to get such a great benefit today.
Outside the Shangqing Palace, everyone in Maoshan was eager to see through it, and finally saw Ai Yu after the daylight. The breath of the latter was even weaker than before.
If yesterday's Ai Yu was still like a monk who had performed the breathing technique. Today, she looks like a complete mortal.
Muhe Daoist said strangely: "Nothing happened, right?" ”
"It's fine." Ai Yu glanced at the old Taoist priests and smiled: "Except for Lei Fa, what else do you lack?" ”
