Chapter Seventy-Seven
In the blink of an eye, it has been five days since that turmoil, and Xiao Xia's head still hurts.
The turmoil subsided quickly and quietly, although in terms of depth and breadth, there had not been such a heavy turmoil in the ten prefectures for some years, and several forces in the world were involved in it, and they all suffered a lot of shocks, and some of them could even be said to be broken.
Hongjing County was razed to the ground, hundreds of people were killed and injured, and a small village more than 20 miles away from Hongjing City was left without people and animals. But under such a big movement, no one knows what happened there at that time, and what the reason was, and among the rumors circulating on the rivers and lakes, the most is only that the Heavenly Master Sect's Demon Zhenren and the Shadow Guard had a conflict because of some misunderstanding, so they fought and so on. The forces involved in this turmoil, out of a tacit understanding that they were all aware of each other, did not spread and expand the aftermath of this shock, and tried their best to silently converge their forces behind the scenes, at most in the form of undercurrents.
Of course, this is the best thing for Xiao Xia, otherwise his head will hurt at least ten times more.
In the sea of knowledge, the Taishang Zhengyi Mi Luo Wan Existence True Talisman is still slowly changing in an unpredictable way, and it seems that it has not moved at all, and the feeling that comes from it is extremely cordial and so natural, as if it has been born with him for decades without a sense of estrangement. But until this time, Xiao Xia still couldn't figure out what this strange treasure that was said to have condensed the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth was, and whether he could take it out.
But he couldn't figure it out. But someone came to help him figure it out, or at least they wanted to help him figure it out.
"Hey, boy. Have you woken up? Come on when you wake up, today I have thought of a few new ways to try!"
As soon as he woke up and was still lying on the bed in a daze, Xiao Xia heard hurried footsteps outside, and then the door was pushed open, and Xiyi Lao Dao strode in with great ambition. Xiao Xia felt that her head hurt even more.
On the same day, after using the Qiantian Lock Demon Talisman to suppress Zhang Tianshi, the true talisman of all things in the sea of consciousness was completely blurred. It completely changed back to what he had seen before in the boundless sea of consciousness, as if it was far away and completely unpredictable, and at the same time felt that all his spirit had been drained. It was as dizzy as if I hadn't slept for ten days and ten nights. He lay in bed for two days before he recovered. But the main reason why he continued that headache until this time was that he was constantly trying to fiddle with it in the past few days.
I hadn't seen my master for several years, and at first glance Xiao Xia was of course surprised and delighted, but he couldn't be happy right away. He was still worried about this inexplicably falling into his own hands. When he was troubled by the big troubles that would definitely bring countless troubles, Xiyi Lao Dao was as happy as if he had suddenly obtained a rare toy, and he just wished that he could take out the universal true talisman from Xiao Xia's body and have fun.
"Boy, don't keep a stinky face all day long, don't you see that the Heavenly Master kid of the Zhang family is going crazy when he wants this thing. It is also said that it is the manifestation of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and such a magical treasure has fallen into your hands like this, but you seem to have been forced by someone else to stuff a piece of shit into your mouth, which is a waste of this great opportunity. ”
"I'd rather not have this chance. Xiao Xia touched her head and stood up. Said helplessly.
"Phew, what a stinky boy who has no interest!" "Since it's a chance. Then it's up to you, what would rather than be wouldn't be. Okay, it's really a piece of shit that you've been stuffed with, and since it's stuffed, and you still swallow it and can't spit it out, what's the use of you still sighing and complaining about this and that? It's better to have a good taste of this rare taste, do you think that everyone has such luck to be stuffed with a mouthful of shit? Or is it such a unique shit in the heavens and the earth, I don't know how many people, such as the Heavenly Master of the Zhang family, want to eat a bite and taste the taste of this shit. ”
“”
"Okay, okay, don't talk nonsense, come out with me, I can invite Lao Xu to try this talisman today." ”
Following the Xiyi old road out of the warehouse, came to the deck, facing the oncoming breeze on the river, basking in the morning sun, looking at the wide river and the scene of difficult to distinguish cattle and horses on both sides of the river in the distance, Xiao Xia's mood was inexplicably relieved, and finally felt that his head didn't seem to hurt so much.
They are now heading east along the Longjiang River in a big boat.
After resting in Jingbei for two days, Xiyi Lao Dao dragged the drowsy Xiao Xia and followed Xu Zhengzhou to find a cargo ship under the Diancang faction industry and left Jingzhou by boat. The Longjiang River is the largest river in the world, originating from several glaciers in the western Shuxi Plateau, converging several other tributaries along the way and rolling all the way to the east, passing through the five prefectures of Shujing, Xuyang, and Qingzhou, and finally entering the sea in Qingzhou.
Although Xiao Xia couldn't recognize the scenery along the way, he calculated the time and knew that he should have crossed the boundary of Xuzhou at this time, was in the north of Yangzhou, and was about to arrive in Qingzhou. If you follow this route, you will probably end up disembarking at Luoshui City. This is also the waterway he took when he went to Qingzhou a year ago, that is, in Luoshui City a year ago, where he met Mingyue, and many things started from this.
Xiao Xia looked at the bow of the boat, Mingyue was standing barefoot in the front, facing the wind on the river, she was dressed in white fluttering, and her head was full of black silk flying, as if the Luo Shen fairy near the river was about to fly away.
After that twist and turn, Mingyue seems to be a little different from before, and she is no longer always around Xiao Xia as before, and Xiao Xia is mostly alone and in a daze when she sees her in the past few days, no longer as simple and innocent as a little beast before, clever and jumping, and there is something in the depths of her clear eyes.
"Stinky boy, look this way. If you want to see the girl, you will ask the girl to accompany you to the cabin to watch it slowly. Xiyi Lao Dao slapped Xiao Xia on the head. "How much power can you use with that universal talisman now?"
Xiao Xia froze and carefully felt the true talisman of all things in the sea of knowledge, compared to the farthest and most vague appearance. Now it's a little clearer. In the past few days, he has accompanied Xiyi Lao Dao to try various methods, and he has also touched the doorway to use this universal true talisman.
It seems that this can be said over time. This true talisman of all things will slowly become clearer and clearer in his sea of consciousness, closer and closer, until it reaches the point when he wakes up that day, if he rests well and recuperates and meditates, it will take about two days and two nights to recover from the most vague state of affairs to the point where it is the clearest. And as he borrowed the power of this universal true talisman like catching Zhang Tianshi's spell and sending out the Qiantian Lock Demon Talisman, this true talisman would gradually blur again.
Based on the experience of these days. Judging the appearance of the true talisman in the sea of consciousness, Xiao Xia said: "Probably only four or five points of strength now." ”
"Well, pretty much exactly. Lao Xu, let's try it as you say. Xiyi Lao Dao waved his hand to Xu Zhengzhou on the side. "Look, this is the benefit that the old way has brought you, isn't it? If you don't follow the old way to Jingzhou, you won't have a chance to see this Taishang Zhengyi Miluo Wanyou true talisman that even Zhang Tianshi covets, right? Not to mention that it will allow you to try the trick. ”
When Xu Zhengzhou heard this, he glared at Xiyi Lao Dao angrily. Although in the same boat. Xiao Xia saw Xu Zhengzhou for the first time in the past few days. And now it seems that his face is still a little pale, and the loss of forcibly cutting off the Pure World Relic Stupa five days ago has not fully recovered until now.
"Don't move, don't be nervous, boy, relax. Xu Zhengzhou pointed at each other like a sword, and his two fingers slowly pointed towards Xiao Xia's eyebrows.
Of course, Xiao Xia didn't move, but just tried to relax as much as Xu Zhengzhou said. But at the same time, he could also feel that Xu Zhengzhou's slowly pointed fingertips were carrying a peaceful and soft sword aura. Compared with the majestic but slightly scattered heaven and earth vitality induced by the Dao Law, the martial arts energy, especially the innate martial arts true intent, is condensed and restrained. Xu Zhengzhou's martial arts cultivation in this realm is not a deliberately revealed sword qi. With Xiao Xia's third-rate martial arts foundation, he couldn't feel it originally, but now that he has through the erection of the true talisman of all things, Xiao Xia's perception is also many times more sensitive than before, and he can not only perceive it, but also taste it like appreciating a landscape painting.
Although the sword qi on Xu Zhengzhou's finger does not seem huge, the artistic conception is extremely majestic and far-reaching, and the vitality is continuous, as if life can evolve into infinite possibilities. It was something like the innate spells he had been exposed to, but it was more vivid than those spells.
After cultivating as a bridge between heaven and earth and comprehending the innate realm, martial arts will gradually contain the laws of heaven and earth, unpredictable, becoming more and more like the Dao, and the Dao will be more condensed and free, becoming more and more like the martial arts. The meaning contained in Xu Zhengzhou's sword shows the subtlety of the realm, Xiao Xia feels that he is afraid that he has only seen it in his life.
As soon as this far-reaching and vivid sword qi touched the center of his eyebrows, it was about to spread towards his tendons, but the true talisman of all things in the sea of consciousness suddenly began to agitate, and it actually became clear at an extremely fast speed, and at the same time, the sword qi that Xu Zhengzhou pointed in also disappeared like a mud cow entering the sea.
"Well, that's true. Xu Zhengzhou nodded slightly. "How, isn't that universal true talisman more capable of using Ruyi?"
"Yes. Xiao Xia nodded in surprise. At this time, the image of all true talismans in the sea of knowledge is unprecedentedly clear. And the muscles and veins in his eyebrows were only slightly swollen and painful.
Xiyi Lao Dao leaned over and asked, "Then Lao Xu, this time, can you use the power of this true talisman?"
"This depends on what kind of innate Dao method it is, the Qiantian Lock Demon Talisman is definitely not good, the Wu Tu Armor Spell is okay, and the Earth Escape Technique can probably last for more than ten breaths. Natsu scratched her head. The more proficient he is in spells, the lower the grade of the Dao method, and the smaller the power of the consumption of all true runes, but once the spells used reach the innate level, the power of the true runes consumed will increase by dozens of times. At that time, when he faced Zhang Tianshi, he was able to issue the Dry Heaven Lock Demon Talisman, but it was still with the help of the prohibition that Zhang Yuhong originally imposed on him, and even then it directly consumed the power of the True Talisman, and it also hurt his spirit. In comparison, the Five Elements Armor Soldier Mantra is the lowest level in the innate Dao method, he has also used the Wu Tu Armor Soldier Mantra, and he has also used the innate charm given to him by the Elder Stone of the Thick Earth Gate for a long time, and he has the most experience of the Tuxing Innate Dao Method, so that he can use the Wu Tu Armor Soldier Spell and the Earth Escape Technique.
"Hey. It's a pity that this method can't be used to make zuò talismans, otherwise you can draw a high-grade talisman with a finger like this. One finger and then go down, you can draw one again, what's so difficult to make money like this?" Xiyi Old Dao sighed and patted Xiao Xia's shoulder with regret. "But that's not bad. can use the high-grade Dao method, and where to put it, it can be regarded as a master of the Dao law. The kid must practice an iron head skill in the future, and always be ready to take a few palms and punches from others, and there will be endless spells when he returns his hand. You can also make a name for yourself in the rivers and lakes. The name of the Iron Head Dharma Venerable is very good, it has both momentum and meaning, what do you think?"
"There's nothing as simple as that. Xu Zhengzhou sneered and shook his head. "The dantian on the center of the eyebrows is the key point of the human body. Directly reaching the sea of consciousness where divine thoughts converge, it is the most important place for cultivators, I deliberately put my strength to the slowest and softest, and the innate sword intent has also converged to the extreme. It's also powerful, my sword intent was originally biased towards the side of vitality evolution, and this can be done. If the strength is slightly leaked. Or the sword intent is biased towards killing and attacking, then it will be either death or injury. ”
"Old man Xu, master, what's going on?" Xiao Xia asked.
"Well, if you want to say a few simple words, I can't understand it, I have deduced it with Lao Xu in the past few days, and I have basically figured out the truth of this thing, so I will tell you about it" Xiyi Lao Dao thought about it with his beard. "Let's start with what this Taishang Zhengyi Mi Luo Wan You True Talisman is. Well, the name of this charm was given by Zhang Daoling. It's really the style of the Zhengyi Sect's gang of gods, and it's stinky and long, as if a difficult name can scare people into worshiping it. But that's the name for now. ”
Although the old Taoist doesn't know where this thing came from or why it was born, Zhang Daoling said that this thing was manifested by the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, which is not all bragging, but also has some truth. According to the bald donkey of Buddhism, this thing seems to be called Bodhi Dharma fruit cough, saying that it is this 'thing', but in fact, this is not a 'thing', nor can it be said to be a 'thing', but if you directly say 'there is nothing to come from and there is no way to go', or it is 'born born in the congenital and lonely, Liao Xi', it must not have reached that point, but there are some meanings, the Tao gives birth to one, one life two, two gives birth to three, three gives birth to all things, this thing is not the Tao, it can also be regarded as one or two of the Tao, or the point on the Buddhist Tantric mandala that is very close to the most central day, do you understand?"
"The way to cut the road?" Xiao Xia remembered what he had talked about with Zhang Yuhong.
"Well, let's be like that. Boy, you can say this word, you can see that your vision has indeed grown over the years. In short, this thing can theoretically perform all the laws in the world, and the Heavenly Master has a Miluo Dao Venerable Divine Presence Dafa, which is a simulation of this thing. It's just that now it's in the hands of your kid, but some pearls have been secretly cast, so even if your kid is lucky enough to control it, at most you can only use this thing to use a few Dao methods that you are familiar with. ”
"This thing is close to coexisting with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and if it is inexhaustible, it is reasonable to say that it will never be exhausted, but it is still the sentence just now, because of your kid's superficial cultivation, after evolving the Dao Law, it will gradually get out of your control, so you say that the more you use this true talisman in the sea of consciousness, the more blurred it will be. However, correspondingly, the closer the laws of heaven and earth are to resonate, it will be easier for you to grasp them. This is the reason why Lao Xu poked you with his finger and said that you could use the debut method. ”
"I see, I see. Xiao Xia suddenly realized. It was the law of heaven and earth contained in Xu Zhengzhou's sword intent that inspired the true talisman of all things, and he in turn was able to use the true talisman of all things to encourage the law of heaven and earth to evolve other Dao methods. It's a pity that as Xu Zhengzhou just said, if this method is not an absolutely trustworthy master like Xu Zhengzhou, it can't be used, the realm of skill has not yet arrived, or the category of exercise does not match, for example, even if Tang Chengcheng is still alive, even if his martial arts true intention of taking the path of destruction is cultivated to the point of being able to control and release freely, I am afraid that he will not be able to bear it.
Thinking of this, Xiao Xia suddenly remembered that the innate talisman was also made by the laws of heaven and earth, and it was far less condensed and lethal than the martial arts artistic conception, so he asked: "Then it should be okay to use a high-grade talisman to vibrate the true talisman." ”
"Naturally, you can, but master, I don't have a high-grade charm for you to practice, and I also advise you, even if you have it, you don't have to do the superfluous thing of taking off your pants and farting, it's better to give it to the master and sell it for wine money. "The old Xiyi hooked his fingers. "Now that it has been made into a charm, the laws and vitality in it are combined to an excellent point, you lead the vibration spirit platform to recognize the true talisman in the sea and then use it again, even if you are familiar with the spell, there will be a lot of damage, two or three or four runes that can be kept for a long time and can be sold for money are transformed into one-time spells of the same product, and the head will be kicked by a donkey to do this. ”
"Well, that's not very useful to talk about. Xiao Xia couldn't help but be a little disappointed. Speaking of which, this kind of seemingly wonderful treasure fell into his hands, but it didn't have much effect, and he could only use the most basic innate spell like the Five Elements Armor Talisman every two or three days, which was really not worth mentioning compared to the trouble that this baby brought to himself.
"Don't be discouraged, boy. Xu Zhengzhou said lightly. "You are now the same as that stone path man back then, and you have directly stepped into the half-step innate realm with the help of this universal true talisman. With his dedication to the sword, the stone man made this originally infinitely useful treasure into something that controlled a pair of flying swords, and it can be said that he embarked on a crooked path that could no longer be crooked. But even so, after a long time, he has the magic power to dominate the world. This thing can evolve ten thousand laws, and the mind can also be the law, and you can say what you want to be, and then it will gradually turn into something. You have learned the talisman with this old way for 20 years, and your heart is free and free, it can be said that it is the most suitable path for this true talisman, as long as you go step by step, your future achievements may not be under that Daoling. ”
Old Man Xu praised it falsely, "This is really a big hat." Even if Xiao Xia has never had any ambitions, he was said to be a little fluctuating.
Speaking of this, Xu Zhengzhou sighed: "I also saw the young Shidao people back then, if the talent for using swords is actually not below me, it's a pity that because of external objects, I have been dragged down by this treasure for a lifetime, although his pair of flying swords are extremely powerful in attacking the enemy, far beyond ordinary congenital masters, but their own realm is not an inch." According to you, it is a pity that you still die on this thing in the end. ”
"Phew, Lao Xu, you also know that people can't die well because of foreign objects, so what kind of treasure can you brag about this kid so that this kid can not lose the cowhide of Zhang Daoling's magic stick. What is there to envy about Zhang Daoling's magic stick? Do you see what the foundation of the Zhang family in Longhu Mountain, which he passed down, what has become of it now? I tell you boy, your previous mentality is right, this is a piece of shit, since you accidentally swallow it and can't spit it out, then take a good look back and write down this taste, what should I do, understand?" (To be continued......
