"'Doomsday Tribulation'......" Xiao Tianhe repeated in a low voice, "What a domineering name!"

"It means that if you can't get over, it's over. Liao Qifeng said with a smile.

"Hehe, which of the 'Four Tribulations of Cultivating Truth' is not 'finished if you can't get over'?" Xiao Tianhe also smiled, "There is no need to start dwelling on things that are too long ago at this time. You still tell me about the 'One Yuan Sword Demon', I don't know what 'One Yuan' is?" Xiao Tianhe planned to take this opportunity to ask about his cultivation.

"'Yuan' is the 'beginning' of everything, and it also has the meaning of 'basic', which is different from what immortal cultivators call 'Yuan Li'. 'Oneness' refers to the 'origin' of cultivation, so it is a 'source power'. If you want to talk about this 'power of origin', to put it bluntly...... It's just ......" Liao Qifeng said generally, and suddenly got stuck.

Sun Hailiang laughed: "How can the power of the origin be clear...... Let's put it this way, according to the way of cultivating demons, people have the three treasures of essence, qi, and spirit, and the three levels of one, two, and three talents after the first tribulation and before the second tribulation should be regarded as the stage of cultivating essence. The so-called 'essence' is the innate essence, called the 'yuan essence', which can be said to be the source of strength in the human body, which originates in every corner of the body, but is mainly hidden in the dantian and contained in the meridians. Therefore, the cultivation of demons should be based on the body, and the 'power of the source' should be the source. The three levels of the cultivation stage are all related to the dantian and meridians that contain the power of the source.

The three levels of the four elephants, the five elements, and the ** between the secondary and middle tribulations are the stages of qi cultivation. The so-called qi is qi, which is often said to be true qi. As the saying goes, 'Qi is born from the heart', and the 'heart' is the first of the five internal organs, which shows the close relationship between qi and internal organs.

The three levels of Seven Stars, Bagua, and Nine Palaces, sandwiched between the middle and last tribulations, are the stages of cultivating the gods. There is an old saying about God that has been explained very clearly: 'Stillness is the heart, and feeling is the god'. 'God' can be said to be both detached from the physical body and must be attached to the body. It is the most mysterious of the Three Jewels. ”

"'Both detached and attached'? What does this mean?" Xiao Tianhe was puzzled.

Sun Hailiang was about to continue explaining, but was interrupted by Liao Qifeng: "Okay, okay, the more you talk about it, the more mysterious it becomes...... If he continues to talk about it, I'm afraid he won't be able to figure it out himself. Brother Xiao, let me give you an example, for example, although the meridians are in the body, can you find their body?"

Xiao Tianhe shook his head.

"That's it. The meridians are not found in the body at all, and they are called 'detachment from the physical body'. But everybody has to have meridians, and that's 'you have to be attached to the body.'" Got it?" Liao Qifeng explained.

"I understand, I understand...... However, why is something like cultivating the meridians counted in the stage of cultivating the gods? According to Brother Fang Cai, shouldn't it be the stage of cultivating the essence?" Xiao Tianhe had another question.

"Definitely. To use Brother Liao's analogy, the cultivation stage cultivates the source power contained in the meridians, while the cultivation stage is the cultivation of the meridians themselves. Sun Hailiang said, "Of course, the cultivation of the Three Treasures is by no means simple enough to be described clearly with just a few words, how mysterious is the way of cultivating demons? Although the ways of cultivating immortals are different, they all have the same end, and they are all processes of 'refining life'. With our realm, how can we get a glimpse of the truth? Knowing this is enough. You don't think so?"

Xiao Tianhe was like an initiation, and suddenly opened. "Thank you two for coming to preach for me in the middle of the night, as Brother Sun said, now the realm is low, just know it. If you want to know why, it seems that it is not possible to cultivate to the stage of cultivating gods. ”

"Exactly. Liao Qifeng said, "The decisive battle is imminent, let's prepare quietly." I believe that with your qualifications, it won't be long before you can survive the first tribulation. ”

"Brother Liao, it's been four days, I don't think we should rest, let's just go to Xiaoyan? Sun Hailiang proposed.

"It's fine. Brother Xiao, we won't bother you. ”

Xiao Tianhe pointed in the direction of Feiyun City: "I don't think you have to go, isn't Xiao Yan here?"

But isn't it, Lu Xiaoyan ran over breathlessly from the darkness in the distance.

"Xiao Yan, why aren't you in Duhai Tower, what are you doing in Feiyun City?" asked Sun Hailiang.

"Hey, do you still need to ask?" Liao Qifeng said, "It must be that he went to Wanxian Tower to feast on his mouth! Look at his mouth, which is shiny and shiny, and the corners of his mouth are still stained with minced meat!"

"Don't you guard Duhailou well, and actually sneak into the city to eat meat and drink wine?" Sun Hailiang reprimanded with a straight face, "I didn't expect it, right? I wanted to sneak back to Duhailou on the fourth watch, but we happened to bump into you halfway!

Lu Xiaoyan said anxiously: "Okay, okay, whatever you punish me in the future! I came here to report to you! The immortal clan is going to face off in advance!" Listening to his tone, things seem to be very bad.

Liao Qifeng hurriedly said: "What do you mean, don't worry, speak slowly!"

"You haven't come to see me for a few days, and you haven't brought me anything to eat, I had a worm attack last night, so I couldn't help but sneak into Feiyun City. Lu Xiaoyan was a little embarrassed, "As a result, I met Da Pei in Wanxian Tower." ”

Sun Hailiang said: "Is that the guard of the Immortal Clan's Huaiji Valley? shouldn't he be guarding in the Nebula Pavilion?"

Xingyun Pavilion, the same function as Duhai Tower, is the small building that connects the ascended people on the side of the Huaiji Valley of the Immortal Clan in Feiyun District. That "Da Pei" and Lu Xiaoyan are in the same position.

"I'm delicious, Da Pei is good at wine, it just so happened that he also sneaked to Wanxian Tower last night, so the two of us sat at the same table, eating and drinking while chatting. ”

"A couple of living treasures!" Liao Qifeng shook his head with a smile.

"Da Pei has a few jars of good wine, and there is no taboo when he speaks. From his mouth, I heard a secret, the Immortal Clan plans to hold the Ascension Duel a day earlier, that is, after dawn to start the war!"

Sun Hailiang felt inexplicable: "Why do you want to advance for no reason?"

I have to agree to it from our demon clan!"

Lu Xiaoyan said: "Since the Immortal Clan plans to advance, they must have prepared an excuse that the Demon Clan can't push back! Anyway, the Ascendants of the two clans have already returned to Feiyun City, and they have also rested for a while, and there is not much difference between a day earlier and a day later." ”

"Since there is no difference, it will be in advance, and it will be done early. Xiao Tianhe didn't care.

"There is no difference, it is based on the premise of fairness! the Immortal Clan will not have to compete in advance for no reason, there must be some purpose. Liao Qifeng speculated.

"Yes, I have a little more heart, and I poured a few more bowls of wine, and finally I got it out! Just yesterday, the Immortal Clan equipped the Ascendant with a very powerful magic weapon, which Marshal Liang personally instructed Captain Yang to do. In case we follow suit after getting the news, Marshal Liang deliberately went to Marshal Xin last night to discuss and advance the date of the game by one day, so that even if we learned the news after dawn, it would be too late and we would lose the game!"

"Those guys from the Immortal Clan are really Laipi! Marshal Xin must also think that there is not much difference between one day earlier and one day later, and there is a good chance that he agrees! Marshal Liang deliberately chose a night to discuss, so Marshal Xin will inevitably wait for dawn to send someone to inform us, and then everything will be too late!" Sun Hailiang said angrily.

"It's okay, Xiaoyan Jiling! This thing is well done, you can count your merits and demerits to offset it!" Liao Qifeng said.

Sun Hailiang frowned and sighed: "It's only a few hours earlier than dawn, what can we do?"

Liao Qifeng said: "It is much better to know earlier and think of countermeasures to sabotage their plan than to find out only when you start a decisive battle." In the past few hours, we have gone to the Qiu City Lord and asked him to help contact General Shangyong or Marshal Xin, inform them of the truth, and postpone the date of the game. ”

"What if the Qiu City Lord can't find General Yong and Marshal Xin? Or if he refuses to help? Don't forget, he is also from the Immortal Clan. I can't figure it out, and he's got involved in this plan!" Sun Hailiang was very worried.

"If you can't find it, just wait for Marshal Xin to send someone to inform us that the game is early, and let that person go back quickly to report. Anyway, you can't bring the date of the game forward. During this period, our demon clan will also match Brother Xiao with an equal, oh no, with a more powerful magic weapon!" Liao Qifeng waved his fist.

Lu Xiaoyan was even more anxious: "No! I can't wait! Da Pei later said some vague words, and the details were not clear, but it roughly meant that Marshal Liang had agreed with Marshal Xin in writing, and if he didn't play, he would be considered a waiver and a loss!"

"Is this still worth the two marshals to write a book?" Sun Hailiang said in surprise.

"This is obviously for another purpose, the next agreement is not to advance the finals, but to be afraid that our demon clan will want to postpone it after learning the news!" Liao Qifeng said angrily, "What a Marshal Liang, thoughtful, calculating everywhere, forcing us to fight after dawn is also a loss, and if we don't fight, we will lose!"

"Hey, I haven't competed yet, why do I have the ambition of others and destroy my own prestige? Don't I still have the 'Golden Phoenix Chaoyang Dagger' given by Marshal Xin? Besides, the opponent is also a soarer, and he may not be proficient in using the magic weapon given to him, so I may not lose!" It's funny to say, but now it is Xiao Tianhe, a contestant, who is cheering them on.

"'Golden Phoenix Chaoyang Dagger'...... I thought that the head of the famous 'Five Great Spirit Birds' was a rare and superb magic weapon, but the result was ...... It is estimated that most of them are not as good as the magic weapons equipped by the immortal clan. Xiao Yan, did Da Pei say what that magic weapon is, or mention its efficacy?" asked Liao Qifeng.

"No, Da Pei drank until the end, his tongue was stiff, his mind was not clear, and his words were incoherent. I was in a hurry to come back and report the news, so I asked for a little wine from Tan Lie and drank him directly. He's still asleep in the Wanxian Tower at this moment, why don't I go back and inquire about it?"

"No need, I'm afraid that Da Pei guy won't wake up after two days and two nights when he's drunk. It's still important to ask the enemy city lord for help. Lao Sun, you go to Wanxian Tower to find Wang Lao Liu, ask him if he knows where Marshal Xin or General Yong is, and then try to see if you can get some useful information out of his mouth; Brother Xiao, you go to the place where Marshal Xin summoned you before; I will go directly to the city lord of the enemy; Xiaoyan, you will stay here, and as soon as the people sent by Marshal Xin come, you will immediately go back with him to report. No matter what the outcome is, you must go back to Xinwang Camp to gather before two o'clock, listen clearly, let's go!" Liao Qifeng resolutely assigned the task.

......

Not long after entering Feiyun City, the three of them parted ways and went in three directions. Compared with the other two who are anxious, Xiao Tianhe can be regarded as "Du Youyou".

"In the middle of the night, braving the snow, I went to find Marshal Xin, who was uncertain, what is this called......" Xiao Tianhe complained in his heart. In his mind, it doesn't matter if Fu Guangxian has a good magic weapon, after all, the magic weapon is only an auxiliary, and he still has to compete with his real skills.

"Besides, how powerful a magic weapon will the Immortal Clan give to a low-level Immortal Cultivator? I guess it's about the same as my fake 'Golden Phoenix Chaoyang Dagger' at most. Trouble Marshal Xin for this little matter, I guess he will be unhappy, right?" Xiao Tianhe thought, his pace slowed down, and he didn't want to go a little.

"Why don't you just go back like this?" Xiao Tianhe stopped and looked back at the road, the small street was still sleeping in the darkness.

"Alas, it's all here, let's go and have a look, anyway, Marshal Xin is not there. After hesitation, he chose to move on.

"Come to think of it, in order to let the immortal clan win, Marshal Liang first secretly matched the magic weapon to hide the sky and the sea, and then secretly crossed Chen Cang in advance, and finally wrote a letter to attack the east and west, tsk, the study of war is good!

Tianhe was amused by his own thoughts.

"No matter what the reason is, since you can ignore your face and morality in order to win, it is not impossible for the Immortal Clan to directly give Fu Guangxian a powerful magic weapon that is enough to affect the battle situation, and it is a big deal to take it back after the decisive battle. Xiao Tianhe thought about it, "In this way, I really have to report to Marshal Xin." If I lose by accident, it can be regarded as an explanation, lest they think that I Xiao Tianhe is incompetent!"

"Being forced to compete, and being forced to win, alas, it seems that this duel is not easy!" Xiao Tianhe sighed in his heart, looked up, and saw that it had arrived.

Pulling up the lion's mouth swallowing ring on the black lacquer gate and knocking on it, the sound of "bang bang bang" was particularly loud in the snowy night. After waiting for a while, no one answered. "Sure enough, it's not there. Xiao Tianhe muttered, turned around and was about to leave, when he suddenly heard a slight voice from the courtyard: "The door is not locked, come in." ”

That was the voice of Marshal Sin.

Xiao Tianhe patted the snowflakes off his shoulders, tidied up his shirt slightly, and pushed the door in.

There were no lanterns in the outer courtyard, and it was dark. In the darkness, the back of a person standing with his head standing can be faintly seen. Xiao Tianhe approached, looked at it, and was suddenly surprised. Marshal Xin is actually painting!

He turned his back to Xiao Tianhe, and there was a long table in front of him, and a picture scroll was spread out on it. Holding a pen in each hand, he walked back and forth on the scroll.

"Painting on a snowy night, the marshal is really interested!" Xiao Tianhe exclaimed.

"Hehe, although you praise it in your mouth, I'm afraid you have the word 'weird' in your heart, right?" Marshal Xin said without looking back.

Xiao Tianhe smiled slightly: "Painting in the dark, and not holding the lamp." If I'm not mistaken, the marshal should be painting with his eyes closed. Snow falls in the sky, no canopy and no umbrella, but not afraid of paper wet, at first I thought it was because of the oil paper, but then watched the marshal 'left and right bow 'before I woke up, it turned out to be a pen to block the snow, while painting while blocking, Zhang Xu long scroll is not wet at all, this realm, let me breathtak. Wouldn't it be disrespectful to describe it as 'eccentric'?"

"Not bad, not bad. You can guess that I'm painting with my eyes closed. The surroundings are so dim that even if you open your eyes, you can't see clearly, and it will become a distraction. It's better to close your eyes and lock your eyes, and draw with your feeling to block the snow, which is easier to settle. Then guess what's I drawing?"

In such a dark situation, I'm afraid I can't even see clearly when I get closer, let alone that the position where Xiao Tianhe is standing is still a few steps away from Changji. Marshal Xin is testing him with a problem.

Xiao Tianhe, who knew this, naturally did not step forward to take a closer look, he locked his eyebrows and stared at Marshal Xin's back. Marshal Xin's hands holding the pen were still dancing with dragons and phoenixes, not only the snowflakes that were about to fall on the scroll, but even the snow that was about to fall on his hands, arms, and shoulders also slid to the side with his flowing movements. Except for the fact that there was a lot of snow on his motionless head, there was not even a single snowflake on the ground within half a foot of his body!

"Huh?" Xiao Tianhe snorted lightly, and he found that the ground at Marshal Xin's feet was grayish-white, which showed that the ground was dry!

Xiao Tianhe's heart was shocked, this snow had been falling almost all night, although it was not very big, but it could still pile up a few inches of snow. And the fact that the ground at Marshal Sin's feet was dry means that he was already standing here before the snow began to fall!

Suddenly, Xiao Tianhe smiled confidently, he already knew the answer.

"Oh, after being silent for so long, must you have gained something?" asked Marshal Xin.

Xiao Tianhe replied: "The marshal not only paints in the open air on snowy nights, but also stands here before the snow falls. In the dim light, instead of lighting the lamp, he closed his eyes and painted according to his feelings. Combining these two points, I dare to guess that what the marshal painted is the snowfly in the dark night!"

"Okay!" Marshal Xin slammed his hands on the scroll, then skimmed off the brush, slapped a few times with both palms, and the scroll was shaken up into the air, he swept it lightly with his right hand, and the scroll had been rolled into one.

"Wise. Marshal Xin turned around and smiled at Xiao Tianhe, "Do you know how long I have been painting this painting?"

"If you count from the time the snow falls, it's been at least six hours. ”

"Wrong. Marshal Xin shook the scroll in his hand with a slight expression, "Actually, before you came, I had never put down the pen, so the real painting time should start when you entered the courtyard and end with the pen, but it was only a moment." ”

Xiao Tianhe smiled and said: "Isn't it a part of painting that the previous position is found, laying out the table and spreading the rolls, waiting for the snow to fall, waving the pen to block the snow, closing the eyes and perceiving, and calming the mind? If it is only for a moment, why bother to go to great lengths? Only by greeting the last stroke of the pen in a state of perfection can a masterpiece be achieved." Just like the Doomsday Tribulation, the process of crossing the Tribulation may only be a flick of a finger, but if you put aside all the hard work before, it is not a 'Tribulation', it should be called 'suicide'. Xiao Tianhe borrowed what Sun Hailiang said earlier.

Marshal Xin laughed: "What a wonderful point! What a 'perfect state'!"

"But marshal, I should remind you of one thing. Although the painting time is long, the writing time is short, and you are in a bit of a hurry to close the axis. I reckon the undried ink on the scroll should have been stained everywhere. Unfortunately, the painting has been ruined. ”

Marshal Xin smiled again: "You guessed what I painted, but you didn't guess how I painted. Isn't it strange that the ink is black and the snow is white, but I paint the snow in ink?"

Xiao Tianhe was slightly taken aback, and said secretly in his heart: "Could it be ......?" "Marshal, can you borrow a painting to take a look?" he hurriedly asked.

"For the 'perfect state' you just mentioned, this painting will be given to you!" Marshal Xin threw the scroll to Xiao Tianhe.

Xiao Tianhe took a deep breath and slowly opened the scroll, his eyes widening as the scroll widened. When the picture scroll was fully presented, he couldn't help but praise it three times in a row: "Wonderful! wonderful!"
