002, the secret of the emperor
At this time, the sound of fighting in the distant villages under the mountain was everywhere, and the battle had entered the most tragic moment, and people continued to fall in pools of blood and fire, with Bai Sha's subordinates, and more people from the Qingshui clan. The Qingshui clan has more than 1,600 people, of which there are about 300 sturdy warriors who are good at fighting, and there are no less than 1,000 people who are not so brave and strong, but can also take up arms and fight to the death.
They had a short period of preparation, but after all, they were rushing to meet the enemy in the middle of the night, and the more than 200 men brought by Bai Sha were all elite dead soldiers who had been specially trained in killing, and the leaders of the team all had magical powers. At the beginning of the battle, the two sides were at a stalemate, but when the people in the mountains also rushed to the walled city, the scene gradually turned into a one-sided slaughter.
The Qingshui clan couldn't resist the fate of the fall, but even so, most of Bai Sha's subordinates were lost, and even a strong man with magical power was beheaded, which shows that there are similar masters in the Qingshui clan. Ordinary dead soldiers are just that, and they can be recruited and trained again, but strong people who have entered the initial realm and cultivated supernatural mana are often hard to find, no matter what kind of power they have, this is a heavy loss.
The Qingshui clan was warned by the mountain god that the Dao was about to face a catastrophe today, and the mountain god told them to fight back with all their strength! The clans and tribes that had worshiped and believed in the mountain god for generations did not hesitate to follow the guidance of the mountain god, which was the only thing Li Qingshui could do for the clansmen at the moment.
At this point, it seems that there is nothing to say, Bai Sha should know that no matter how he threatens Li Qingshui today, the other party will not give him what he wants. He paid a heavy price, but it was pointless to destroy the Qingshui clan. He can already kill Li Qingshui and leave at this moment, but Li Qingshui has no power to resist at this moment.
But Bai Sha didn't intend to do this, because he was unwilling, and the greater the price he paid, the more unwilling he became. The secret inheritance he wants is in Li Qingshui's heart, even if the Qing Shui clan is completely wiped out, as long as Li Qingshui is still there, there is still hope to get it.
Although he didn't turn around, the sound of shouting and killing in the distance came into his ears, and Bai Sha also knew how heavy the loss was, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, but then he regained his calm, as if he had forgotten the tragic fighting in the walled city for a moment, and when he spoke again, his tone was like two old friends talking. He has too many things to say and want to ask today, and he really can't help it, as long as Li Qingshui is still willing to speak, he still has hope of achieving his goal.
Bai Sha sighed as if to say to himself, "The ignorant worship ghosts and gods, but they worship people like us, or those things that they themselves don't know exist. I have also seen a lot of so-called mountain gods in this wilderness, most of them are just mountain spirits and ghosts.
They either take what they need for pleasure, or they seek the way of eternal life and long-term vision by offering vows to practice the method of ghost cultivation. I've seen a lot of powerful monsters and elves who claim to be mountain gods, and they have different witchcraft, and they don't follow the same path on the path to the sky. Some people may go further, others will never take another step in their lives, and I am puzzled that it is not the more powerful beings can go far.
The techniques they practice often come from self-enlightenment or talent, and there is no certain way to do all kinds of things, and people like you and me have their own secret methods, so why bother to do anything to cultivate the mountain gods? So I wasn't sure that you were really the mountain god here, but I heard that you had already taken that step and were about to embark on the path to heaven. Could it be that there is some mystery in this, the mountain spirits and ghosts in the world do not know, but you have discovered it?"
Li Qingshui, who was sitting upright with his eyes closed, seemed to have seen through Bai Sha's thoughts at the moment, the corners of his mouth showed a hint of mockery, and his voice sounded in Bai Sha's mind again: "What I am doing is not the method of ghost cultivation, but the essence of the Taihao Heavenly Emperor, but the step to go to the Emperor Township Divine Land is indeed related to the experience of the mountain gods in this hundred years." That's what you want to know, right? Actually, I just told you!"
There was a burning light in Bai Sha's eyes: "What did you tell me?"
Li Qingshui: "I have lived long enough to witness too many lives and deaths and too many things in the world, so I know how many things will happen. People like this are often called wise men, but for me, it is no longer the result of hard thinking, but the clarity of nature, as if the world is evolving before my eyes. This is a supernatural power or a supernatural power, it can also be said to be a return to simplicity, which is what I have gained as a mountain god over the years. ”
Bai Sha's gaze became more and more intense, and he asked: "Legend has it that Emperor Taihao is the best at deduction and can perceive the changes of all things. What you are cultivating is the essence of the Taihao Heavenly Emperor that has been passed down in the world, can you also break through such magical powers?"
Li Qingshui: "I didn't, but I saw a trace of the door dimly, and it couldn't be broken at all, so I was interrupted by your disturbance." ”
Bai Sha: "Even if I don't kill you, you will become a waste forever." But if you tell me everything you know about the secret of the Essence and the path to heaven, including the harvest of being a mountain god over the years, tell me exactly what you know. In the future, I may be able to try to restore your cultivation, and you still have hope of immortality in this life. ”
Li Qingshui sneered, "What do you want?"
Bai Sha: "All of it, all you know!"
Li Qingshui: "I also have a question that I'm curious about, can you tell me?"
Bai Sha: "Please speak." ”
Li Qingshui: "How do you know that I happened to be in retreat and led people to run thousands of miles so accurately?"
Bai Sha replied: "It's very simple, there have always been people in the Qingshui clan who have provided you with news to the merchants who came to the walled city in exchange for free goods from the vendors. But your people don't know the purpose of the vendor, and they don't know that I sent it. ”
Li Qingshui: "My people don't know that I'm still alive, and they don't know that I'm a mountain god, how can they provide me with news?"
Bai Sha: "They don't need to know the Tao, because I know that you are practicing in seclusion in Shudeqiu, and Shudeqiu is here. I have always suspected that you are looking for a successor to the essence of the essence among your people in the name of the mountain god, and I heard that not long ago a priest heard the voice of the mountain god, and it is said that the mountain god they worship will be asleep for a while, and I don't know when it will wake up, so I know that the time has come. What I didn't expect was that you were really a mountain god, not just disguised as a mountain god. ”
Li Qingshui sighed and said: "It turned out to be using spies, but it's a pity that those clansmen of my Qingshui clan don't know what a spy is." ”
In this kind of primitive clan tribe in the wilderness, ordinary clansmen really don't know what Ludao is called a spy, I'm afraid they haven't even heard of it, and they don't even know what Ludao is called Xinyi. People live in a simple and primitive state, where no one will lie, and no one will betray anyone, or break the promised promises.
Since there is no such thing as treachery, everyone has no concept of so-called faith, let alone thought that there is such a thing as a spy in the world. Everything about the mountain gods is a secret of the clan, and the priest does not need to tell anyone to keep it secret, and the people will naturally abide by it.
But today, something like this happened in the primitive clan tribes, and someone privately told the foreign traders about the movements of the mountain gods, just because the traders wanted to know these things, and the reward was free goods. The most primitive simplicity is also the easiest to break, just because of the simplest temptation, and the unintentionally bought people may not know what this means.
Hearing Li Qingshui's sigh, Bai Sha said: "The world is changing, and it is impossible for the clans and tribes in the wilderness to remain simple forever. Today's incident is just the beginning, and with a beginning, it will not end, and the Shimizu clan will also learn to lie and deceive, but I will not give them this opportunity. ”
At this point, the sound of fighting in the distant village had gradually faded away, and only the mournful screams of women and children still came and went. Bai Sha couldn't help but glance back, then stared at Li Qingshui and said: "Looking at today's battle, there are also many strong people in the Qingshui clan, it is thanks to you, the mountain god, that you taught them how to cultivate."
If the Shimizu clan were just a weak clan, I probably wouldn't have to destroy it, because I would neither be afraid nor worried, but you made the clan strong, so I had to kill the aftermath today. Over the years, you've been looking for the heirs of the Elite Jue, and although some of your clansmen have passed the initial realm and have cultivated the Dao, no one has been able to cultivate the Essence Jue, right?"
Li Qingshui didn't answer his question, but asked rhetorically, "When did you start eyeing me?"
Bai Sha looked up at the night sky, as if recalling: "A long, long time ago, when the late lord of the country of Ba was still alive, there was no land division and sons fighting for the king like now. I know that the country of Lu Daoba was established by the descendants of Emperor Taihao, and there is a recipe for the past dynasties, but the most Lu of the later generation of lords has not been cultivated, but the Lord Lizheng of the year has also been taught, it is you!
You do the right thing first, and then preside over the Baguo School Palace, and wait until the old lord dies, the sons fight each other, and the school palace is also abolished. You went incognito to Ba Yuan, and actually cultivated the Jinghua Jue, and also left the name of Qingsha. But I know who you are, and I know that this is where you will return to seclusion. When I was blocked on the path to heaven and couldn't see the way forward, I thought of you. ”
The essence of the essence mentioned by Bai Sha is a secret transmission obtained by Li Qingshui many years ago, and there were still people in Pakistan who got this secret transmission back then, but later only Li Qing Shui cultivated it. Even if you have been taught this kind of secret transmission, if you have not succeeded in cultivating, you cannot pass it on to others, because I have neither known the mysteries nor mastered the secrets of the inheritance.
Therefore, if you want to get the secret transmission of the Essence Recipe, you can only find someone who has cultivated the Essence Recipe, and within a radius of thousands of miles of Bayuan and the surrounding wild mountains, there is only Li Qingshui now.
Hearing this, Li Qingshui asked rhetorically: "Bai Sha, you can have today, and you have also cultivated the secret form swallowing technique of the Shaohao Heavenly Emperor, and the magic power is not under me, so why should you ask for the essence of the Taihao Heavenly Emperor?"
Bai Sha looked at Li Qingshui, he had always had too many questions in his heart to get answers, but he couldn't find anyone to communicate with, and at this moment, Qing Sha on the other side was one of the few people who was qualified to talk to him, and he was also the one who could give him answers. He finally said what he had been thinking about for a long time, and only Li Qingshui could hear it-
Legend has it that in ancient times, the human emperor Taihao set up a tree to ascend to the sky, and opened up the emperor's hometown in the heavenly realm, so Taihao was respected as the emperor of heaven. The so-called Jianmu is said to be a large tree that grows from the earth to the sky, and many mortals believe that if they can find the location of Jianmu and climb along it to the end, they will be able to reach the sacred land of the emperor and grow into immortals.
There is also a legend in the world that the reason why Taihao was able to open up the divine land and become the emperor of heaven was because he found the elixir of immortality. If future generations can also get the immortal elixir given by Emperor Taihao, they can fly to the emperor's hometown and become immortals.
But masters like Bai Sha and Li Qingshui know very well that the legend may not be true, it is just a metaphor. The Lang Ji fruit is the immortal elixir obtained by the legendary Taihao Heavenly Emperor, and the Qing Shui clan, who already owned it, did not become an immortal with it.
Although the Lang Ji fruit is extremely rare, it is not unattainable for a master like Bai Sha, he knows that this is a magical elixir that can help cultivation, but it is not an immortal elixir that can become an immortal by taking it.
Then the metaphor of Jianmu and the elixir of immortality should refer to Taihao's path to heaven back then. Emperor Taihao Heavenly Emperor left the Essence Recipe in the world, if he can cultivate the Essence Recipe, and then cultivate the path of the eighth layer, nine turns, and seventy-two steps to the heavens to the end, he can take off the mortal womb and fly to the emperor's hometown to enjoy eternal life. It can be seen that Jinghua Jue is the real "immortal elixir" left by Emperor Taihao.
However, if you get the Jinghua, you may not be able to cultivate, and if you cultivate the Jinghua, you may not be able to reach the sky, and there are few successful people since ancient times. In Bai Sha's view, Emperor Taihao may have only occasionally walked the right path, but the guidance he left behind may not allow future generations to replicate the same success, and those who are lucky enough to succeed may just happen to have the same luck.
Bai Sha collected legends from the past and present to test their authenticity, and did not find any inevitable laws that can be referred to between successes and failures. And more importantly, Jinghua Jue is not the only heaven ascending guide in the world, and the divine land of Taihao Heavenly Emperor is not the only immortal emperor hometown.
For example, Shaohao, who was born after a thousand years of Taihao, also opened up the emperor's hometown. The legend in the world is similar, that Shao Hao also got the elixir of immortality. However, Shaohao ascended to heaven and did not go to the sacred land of Emperor Taihao, but opened another emperor's hometown, so he was also respected as Emperor Shaohao.
The secret immortal recipe guidance left by Emperor Shaohao is a swallowing decision that seems to be completely different from the Xuanli of Jinghua Decision. The white evil who has cultivated to swallow the form is already an immortal on the sacred mountain in the eyes of ordinary people, but he himself knows very well that if he can't take the last step on the path to heaven, his life will be exhausted after a hundred years.
Although he is cruel and ruthless, he is a man of great wisdom, and he can think about problems that many people dare not even think about. Why do you enter the divine land of the Taihao Heavenly Emperor if you can ascend to heaven when you cultivate the Elite Essence, and if you can ascend to the heavens when you cultivate the Swallowing Form, you will enter the Divine Land of the Shaohao Heavenly Emperor? These two are called immortality by the world, what are the similarities and differences? What if someone cultivates both the Elite Essence and the Swallowing Form?
Emperor Taihao opened up the divine land and left the Jinghua decision, and the subsequent Shennong Heavenly Emperor, Xuanyuan Heavenly Emperor, Gaoyang Heavenly Emperor, and Shaohao Heavenly Emperor, they should have all received the secret inheritance of the previous Heavenly Emperor, but they did not embark on the same path to the sky, but opened up another emperor's hometown divine land, leaving another secret immortal secret.
Each Heavenly Emperor has its own path to heaven, guiding future generations to the Emperor Township Divine Land they have opened, which is what mortals call ascending to immortals. As far as Bai Sha knew, there were creatures who failed to cultivate one kind of immortal technique, but after obtaining another immortal decision, they ascended to heaven and lived forever, while other beings who seemed to be almost the same in the same situation had the opposite experience.
Hundreds of races and classes in the world, since ancient times, there are living beings who have entered the initial realm to practice, and many of them have not obtained the secret immortal secret of the Emperor of Heaven, although they have not succeeded in ascending to heaven in the end, they have gone far away. If you give them enough time and luck, will they be able to succeed?
In this way, is there an eternal mystery that can guide the origin of the Great Dao, and the path to heaven will never deviate from its origin?
Bai Sha is more than 100 years younger than Qing Sha, but if he talks about supernatural powers, he is already more powerful than Qing Sha, but he has not been able to take the step to go to the Emperor Country Divine Land. When he learned that Li Qingshui was about to take the last step, he finally couldn't help but seize the last opportunity, so he had today's action, and this kind of thing may not have been done before.
Hearing this, Li Qingshui, who closed his eyes tightly, also showed a slightly moved expression: "You have been unable to ascend to the sky for a long time in cultivating the Swallowing Form, so you want to find another way to change your cultivation of the Jinghua Technique, not only to get the secret guidance of the Taihao Heavenly Emperor, but also to know everything that I have sought to verify in the Dao." If you do this, not to mention whether you can succeed or not, even if you succeed and ascend to the Emperor's Sacred Land, what will happen? Don't forget how you got on this path, I'm afraid Emperor Taihao won't spare you!"
Bai Sha shook his head and said: "You are wrong, my purpose is not to enter the divine land of the Taihao Heavenly Emperor in order to seek immortality, I just want to know what is on the other path to heaven in the Lu Dao? I have been thinking hard for many years, and I may have discovered a secret of the Heavenly Emperors, do you want to hear it? If you agree to my conditions, I will tell you." ”
Li Qingshui said lightly: "If you want to say it, you can say it, I won't promise you anything." ”
Bai Sha pondered for a moment, and finally spoke: "Then I'll tell you, the successive emperors after Taihao should have already stepped on the path to heaven." ”
Li Qingshui: "Isn't this nonsense! The thing that is known to the whole world is the secret you discovered?"
Bai Sha: "You're wrong again, this is not nonsense. For example, the Shennong Heavenly Emperor after Taihao, he should have cultivated the Jinghua Decision passed on by Taihao very early, and took the last step, but he did not enter the Emperor Taihao's imperial land to enjoy eternal life like others, but stayed in the world and made different choices, and finally embarked on another path, so he could become the Shennong Heavenly Emperor.
Later generations of Heavenly Emperors such as Xuanyuan, Gao Yang, and Shao Hao, they should all have similar experiences, and they have already taken that step, but they did not ascend to the gods of the previous generation of Heavenly Emperors to become immortals, but stayed in the world to find another way to ascend to the sky. If I get everything you know and take that step, I will not go to the divine land of Emperor Taihao, but I will also seek such a path. ”
Li Qingshui said movingly: "Your ambition is not small! you also want to open up the Immortal Divine Land and achieve a Heavenly Emperor?"
Bai Sha smiled: "This is not an ambition, if it is an ambition, my ambition is even greater! Mortals are fortunate enough to embark on the path to heaven, and no one does not want to go further! If I can verify immortality, of course I would like to know what the Dao of Lu is? Maybe in the end, what I want to think about is not only to achieve a Heavenly Emperor, but also to find out the different paths to the heavens - this eternal origin avenue between heaven and earth, to open up the realm of immortality beyond the Emperor Country and Divine Land, and to guide my Baiyi clan to ascend to the sky. ”
Li Qingshui was silent for a long time, and then said slowly: "Bai Eshi, the question you are thinking about is actually also thought about, in my opinion, there is indeed an eternal fundamental avenue between heaven and earth, whether it is cultivating the Essence Technique or swallowing the form of the Formation Recipe to ascend to the heavens and immortals, it may just happen to be lucky to understand the origin of the Dao." But I have a secret to tell you too. ”
Bai Sha: "Please speak." ”
Li Qingshui: "If you want to seek the origin of the Great Dao, your ambition is not grand. But if you want to guide the Bai's Forehead Clan to all ascend to the Divine Land, but today you want to destroy the innocent Qingshui Clan in order to find it, if this avenue really exists, you can't get it, at least not in this way. What you want, even if you can see it in this life, you won't get it in the end. ”
Bai Sha: "For what?"
Li Qingshui: "I can't answer what it is, but if there really is an Origin Dao in the world, it will not violate the simplest truth." That's what I've just figured out, and it's the last sentence I'm going to tell you. ”
Li Qingshui said that the last sentence was the last sentence, his voice never sounded in Bai Sha's mind again, he didn't move or open his eyes from beginning to end, and even the conversation was in such a strange way of communicating with divine thoughts.
Bai Sha looked at Li Qingshui's petrified figure, with anger and unwillingness in his eyes, and even showed resentment, but after a while, he could only turn into a sigh. He suddenly felt that his emotions just now were a little ridiculous, if he said hate, it was he who destroyed the Qingshui clan, it should be that Qingshui hated him, and the hatred in the other party's heart was probably far beyond the imagination of the world.
Li Qingshui closed his eyes and endured what kind of pain and suffering, but he didn't reveal it for Bai Sha to see, what kind of iron-like heart is this? Could it be that his cultivation is about to take the step of becoming an immortal, and he can see through everything in the world and be indifferent, or is it because of hatred but is silent?
Li Qingshui's unusually calm makes people have an indescribable sense of depression, and the quiet figure even vaguely reveals a chill. When Li Qingshui stopped talking, the eastern mountains had already revealed a faint light, the dawn in the wilderness was coming, and the mournful crying from the village had disappeared - no one in the Qingshui clan survived.
A man with a sword climbed to the top, the dark suit made of animal skin, stitched with other strange materials, specially refined, fitted and tough, lightweight, by no means ordinary people. He stood outside Qionglin and saluted Bai Sha with his sword raised, and did not speak, but Bai Sha's voice was also heard in Bai Sha's mind.
This is the same way that Li Qingshui Fangcai and Bai Sha communicated, and this man in a strong suit can actually master it. This person is here to report and ask for instructions, more than 1,600 people of the Qingshui clan have been exterminated, and there are only more than 50 of the more than 200 people brought by Bai Sha at this moment, and more than a dozen of them are injured.
