Chapter 15: The Sword of Bones
It was an extremely beautiful face, with bright eyes and bright teeth, double pupils cut water, a beautiful aura of Zhong Lingyu all over his body, and two shallow pear vortices on the cheeks.
She tilted her face slightly, a little wet, and couldn't tell if it was rain or tears. But that beautiful and ethereal face was a bloodless white, fragile and distressing.
Liu Zhen'er often looks at the mirror, how could she not know the face in front of her, she was shocked at the moment, took a half step back, a pair of lotus embroidered shoes had already been stained with blood, she asked with a pale face,
"Who are you? How did you get here? The woman opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but Liu Zhen'er noticed that her open mouth was a black and empty piece, and someone was so vicious that he pulled out the woman's tongue alive.
The woman couldn't respond to Liu Zhen'er's reply, and shook her head again and again, tears crossed the corners of her eyes. Liu Zhen'er had a heart of compassion, and wanted to step forward to untie the shackles that were as dark as dark iron, this thing seemed to have spiritual power induction, and when she noticed Liu Zhen'er's approach, she tightened the woman's body more and more, and the sharp thorn tied the woman's flesh and blood, and the blood surged, and the woman fell to the ground and let out a low wail.
"Woo-woo" The woman made an intermittent sound, Liu Zhen'er didn't dare to take another step, listening to her voice was strange, but she didn't expect that she didn't know what to say, and she actually turned into the shape of a blue bird.
She is large and has beautiful plumage, a blue head and wings, a white lower half of her body, a blue upper half of her body, yellow fluff on her throat and cheeks, and three legs that support her body.
The blue bird lowered her head and lowered her eyes to look at Liu Zhen'er, her eyes were full of sorrow and sadness, Liu Zhen'er's heart was stagnant, her eyes were hot, and she inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity.
"Who the hell are you?" Liu Zhen'er covered her aching chest and asked uncertainly to the divine bird in front of her, and the girl's pretty face was filled with gloom.
The blue bird didn't answer, and gently waved Liu Zhen'er with his wings to the magic circle on the other side. There are 12 small round sticks stuck in the ground underground, there is no pattern at all, one in the east and one in the west, as if it is inserted casually, but in the middle there is a cloud of black gas, plastered with runes, it keeps rushing around, trying to escape, but within the limit of the stick, there seems to be some mysterious force holding him.
Liu Zhen'er looked at the black fog, it seemed to have a sanity, and when it saw Liu Zhen'er paying attention, it stopped its collision and sent it out
The laughter of "Jie Ji" turned into the appearance of a young man after a while. The posture is upright, the face is calm, the black hair is like a waterfall, the eyebrows are warm and soft, the robe is snow-white, as if spotless, he smiled slightly, the pair of extremely beautiful, and like the warm spring sun-like eyes bent out of the shape of the moon, such as Yu Yu white snow, and like the bright moon in the world, it is Tao Hongjing that Liu Zhener is familiar with.
"Zhen'er, you've finally come looking for me." Tao Hongjing's eyes were moist, his voice was low, and he stretched out his hand slightly to make a hugging gesture.
"Zhen'er, I can't get out, come and save me." Tao Hongjing was low and earnest, with imperceptible eagerness in his voice.
Liu Zhen'er had never seen him like this, when he looked into his eyes, his pupils suddenly lost focus, and he stood firmly in place, Tao Hongjing urged her to step forward and help her unravel the runes, and Liu Zhen'er walked forward like a walking corpse.
After walking about half a step away, Liu Zhen'er stopped, stretched out his hand to touch Tao Hongjing's face, Tao Hongjing's eyes were full of tenderness, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a triumphant smile.
Suddenly, a huge thunderbolt split the cave, and lightning illuminated the entire cave, and it galloped gracefully over the dark shadows of the trees, and split Tao Hongjing in front of him in two like a frightening scimitar.
There was a scream, and he turned into a cloud of black mist again, circling and wandering in the formation. The strong light pierced Liu Zhen'er to close her eyes, and the huge light wave impacted, and Liu Zhen'er fainted to the ground.
* In the realm of too illusory, Tao Hongjing was lying in a low-lying pool at this time, supported by stones, and his head was leaning obliquely.
His eyes were closed, his face was red, and it seemed as if the blood from his whole body was rushing to his head, and his forehead was sweating, and he was suffering from unbearable suffering.
A soft murmur came out of his throat, as if squeezed out of his teeth, and it was extremely difficult, and he was already in a nightmare.
Xiao Song, who was as crystal as a purple diamond, ran to Tao Hongjing, probed his nose and sniffed the green dragon breath on Tao Hongjing's body.
Its eyes, which were clearer than a baby, were full of joy, it squeaked twice, fell to its knees on its front feet, and faced Tao Hongjing in a respectful posture.
"Master, Komatsu has finally found you." Komatsu spoke excitedly, took two steps forward childishly, and arched Tao Hongjing's face affectionately with the tip of his moist nose.
Tao Hongjing still closed his eyes uncomfortably, and he did not wake up from the dream. Komatsu slapped himself with his fleshy paws, the host of the master had just been misled by him into the illusion, and now Xu was haunted by demons, and before he came out, Komatsu took the corner of his robe in his mouth, threw him on his back, and humped him out of the wasteland.
"Tick tick tick-" The water droplets fell on Tao Hongjing's face, a few drops of slippery water moistened his dry mouth, Tao Hongjing smashed his mouth a few times, and finally found an exit in the endless wasteland in the dreamland, he saw Liu Zhen'er and Xiao Yan standing in front of him waiting for him, urging him to move forward quickly, the martial arts competition will start in a few days.
Tao Hongjing realized the purpose of his trip at this time, and hurriedly followed them forward, and then the wasteland scenery behind him collapsed into black fragments and disappeared under his feet.
Suddenly opening his eyes, the light of the candle flame shone on half of the stone room, Tao Hongjing moved his body, and found that his body bones were refreshed at this time, full of the power of heaven and earth treasures, and his heart was full of doubts.
"Squeak, master, you're finally awake." Not far away, Komatsu crossed his tail and said lazily with a yawn.
"Master, why do you call me master?" Tao Hong looked at the spirit beast in front of him, saw its innocent face, let down his guard and asked.
"Hmph, you stupid, my name is the green dragon in your body, you mortal want to be far away from my master." Komatsu pursed his lips, and disdainfully cast a spell to probe Tao Hongjing's skill, but it was not much higher than it, it Komatsu has always spoken with strength, and naturally he looked down on Tao Hongjing at this time.
Tao Hongjing's face was embarrassed, he didn't want it to be so sharp and direct, and he was surprised how it learned about the green dragon in his body.
Komatsu's eyes flickered, and he didn't want to say more, so it couldn't be said that it was a prank to trick the three of them.
"Don't ask too much, you just need to know that I am your savior, who saved you from the illusion, you almost burst your muscles and veins, and I worked hard to find the fairy grass for you in the mountains cured." Komatsu looked up proudly, and he had already done a big thing by himself.
Tao Hongjing thanked himself, seeing him so polite, Xiao Song's face was slightly embarrassed,
"You are here to live and nourish your body, don't hurt the vitality of my master Qinglong in your body, otherwise I will eat you." Xiao Song opened his mouth, showing his fangs, pretending to be fierce to scare Tao Hongjing.
Tao Hongjing only felt that the spirit beast in front of him was cute, and said bluntly, but his face was worried,
"I can stay here, but I'll have to help me find my other two companions, I guess they're lost in the illusion too." The incident started because of Komatsu, and it was easy to solve for him, and Komatsu was full of words.
Tao Hongjing stayed here, and Komatsu God mysteriously slipped out. This is a small stone room, which can accommodate up to two people in a square inch.
There was a skeleton lying on the stone bed, his clothes were almost weathered and broken, his hands crossed on his stomach, and his head rested squarely on the stone pillow.
Tao Hongjing approached slowly, and found that there was a string of ancient characters engraved on the ground of the stone bed, and the penmanship seemed to be the remains of the Shangqing Sect on Maoshan Mountain.
Knowing a little bit about one or two, Tao Hongjing glanced at the past and read out word by word,
"Everything is illusory, only peace without sorrow or joy. I am Yang Xi, the second generation of the master of the Shangqing Sect, who has been in retreat for several years, and finally has come to an understanding. "There is a broken wooden sword on the futon, Tao Hongjing knows that this is the personal sword of the ancestor in his early years, which is made of a small peach tree of 10,000 years on the ice cliff at the junction of the demon domain and the human world.
According to records, Yang Xi was born like a pink-faced scholar, famous for his peachwood sword skills, and led the Maoshan Shangqing Sect to become the largest sect leader at his time, but it was when the Qingzong on Maoshan was thriving, he disappeared, and no one saw him again.
Tao Hongjing knelt down and respectfully kowtowed to Yang Xi twice, as a descendant of Maoshan Mountain, seeing his true body here, Tao Hongjing's inner feelings were beyond words.
The half-truncated sword seemed to have sensed something, and it actually flew up and appeared in front of Tao Hongjing. This is the manifestation of immortals, with a heavy treasure inheritance,
"Master, this is—thank you, Master, Hongjing will live up to expectations." Seeing this scene, Tao Hongjing took the wooden sword with both hands and thanked him gratefully.
As if he had finally completed one thing he was obsessed with in his heart, Yang Xi's bones gradually turned into powder.
The stone wall is densely carved with scriptures, the pen is strong and powerful, the person who comes to carve it quickly and quickly, as if it is already crazy and crazy, the stone or branch under the ground is carved at will, but it does not affect its perception at all, only feel the magnificent, the vast text is like a sea of smoke in the true qi rushing to the face.
Tao Hongjing looked at the past carefully, and there were two scriptures on the stone wall of the stone room, one was the long-lost "Jade Sutra of the Yellow Garden" of the Shangqing Sect, and the other was the supreme true law of Buddhism "The Great Nirvana Sutra".
"Huang Ting Jing" is the main classic of the Shangqing School of Taoism, and is also regarded as the main classic of Neidan cultivation by the Neidan family, this is the supreme treasure book, which can not be found, Tao Hongjing Han Ying chewed Hua, holding a candle to read word by word, swallowing dates, finding out a rough idea, sitting cross-legged and meditating and practicing.
