Chapter 116: The Brave Are Fearless
"What's going on, where am I?" Liu Yinyin wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and looked around.
A small room, simple and quaint, without any frills, the only thing that is noteworthy is that the door of the room is green.
"By the way, I was in the Beidou Shuiling Cave and entered the green 'Wenqu' gate. Liu Yinyin recalled, "But what was the haze just now? Lily...... It's so sad to be lonely, miserable, and long in life, as if I had experienced it myself......"
Just as she was wondering, a light suddenly shone in front of her, and a man dressed in green appeared in the house.
How to describe the man's handsomeness? The long black hair hung down to the waist and was tied up with a headband. With a face as delicate as a woman, eyes as bright as stars, a fair complexion, and lips painted with vermilion, if you don't look closely, you may really think of him as a graceful and elegant girl.
"Congratulations on passing the test. The man smiled.
"What happened just now was a dream?" Liu Yinyin had already guessed.
"Yes, a miserable dream. ”
"This ...... What is the test?" Liu Yinyin couldn't understand.
The man turned around with his hands in his hands: "There are seven hardships in life. Birth, old age, sickness, death, hatred, love, parting, and unwanted. You have turned into a lily in my phantom array and experienced all the sorrows of your life.
Lily was born in a poor family, which is the suffering of life.
Losing his father at a young age, losing his mother when he was a little older, and his lover committing suicide is the pain of love and separation.
The proprietor is indifferent, and the wicked are entangled, which is the suffering of hatred.
Old, sick, and dead, all experienced.
Seeking wealth but not being able to, seeking health but not being able to, seeking immortality but not being able to seek relatives, and seeking love but not being able to do so is the suffering of not being able to ask for it.
It's like the couplet in the hallway, 'Suffering, Bad Suffering, Impermanent Suffering, All Suffering'.
I will test your courage. No matter what kind of suffering you face, you must not lose courage. Luckily, you succeeded. After the man finished speaking, he turned around and smiled faintly at Liu Yinyin.
"It's a sad test. Liu Yinyin's heart was difficult to calm down at this time.
The man said, "I've already given you a hint. 'Heavenly happiness, Zen happiness, nirvana, lifelong happiness. Life is bittersweet, just like the alternation of light and darkness in the corridor, only by persevering until the end of the 'bitterness' can we usher in the day of 'sweet come'. If you can't endure the hardships and lose the courage to survive, then you will naturally fail. ”
"What are the tests in the other six gates? The handwriting at the entrance of the Shui Ling Cave says that there is a danger of death in the cave, could it be that the other tests are very dangerous?" asked Liu Yinyin.
"The hardships of life are much the same, and the trials in the seven gates are not much different. As for the handwriting at the door, that's just to test if you have the courage to challenge. How can a cowardly person deserve to have my Xuanyuan?" the man laughed.
Liu Yinyin suddenly realized, no wonder the poem on the boulder wrote: "Everything is difficult to be discouraged, and I will never regret moving forward." Only those who are "full of ups and downs and have no fear" can succeed.
"Thank you Xingjun, the younger generation has been taught. Liu Yinyin bowed to the man and said respectfully.
The man nodded slightly, raised his hand and flicked his sleeves, and Liu Yinyin suddenly had an extra piece of white silk in his hand, and a blue crystal jewel was held on the silk. Liu Yinyin was overjoyed, this trip was not in vain, and she finally got the water spirit bead. Just as he looked up and wanted to thank him, the figure of the handsome man had disappeared.
"I really didn't expect that Sun Ji, the first sword immortal of the Qinglong Continent, was such a beautiful person like a woman. Liu Yinyin admired Gongsun Ji's graceful demeanor in her heart, unfolded the white silk, and the blue handwriting appeared in it, writing:
"Beidou Water Ling Cave is a test of the courage of those who come. Those who pass the level can get the Water Spirit Bead.
There is a map in the bead, and two years after the opening of the Wudou Cave, you can go to the Shuzang Palace to find the Xuanyuan Immortal Sword according to the map.
Only those who wear beads can enter, and the spirit beads can be worth a life when they are in danger. If anyone is greedy and enters the two holes, he will perish.
other
The brave are fearless,
No fear is rigid.
Rigidity is dangerous,
It's a great light.
Juniors should keep in mind and do it for themselves. ”
"I haven't paid attention to it before, it turns out that Huanglong Sword Immortal's handwriting is as beautiful as his appearance. Liu Yinyin happily put away the water spirit beads and white silk and pushed open the door.
In an instant, she returned to the boulder at the bottom of Yanzhu Lake, Fang Wanliu, Wen Tingying, Shangguan Piao, Murong Qiu, Yin Menghan, there were many of them.
Everyone looked at each other and swam towards the lake. After surfacing the lake, everyone flew directly into the southeast.
Fang Wanliu spoke first: "I had an extremely miserable dream in the Shuiling Cave just now...... But the good thing is that it passed the test, you see. Fang Wanliu spread out his palm, and in the palm of his hand was the blue water spirit bead.
Wen Tingying said: "I also got the Water Spirit Bead." Have you all passed the test?"
Shangguan Piao also said: "Although I lived a miserable life in my dream, I still persevered in the past. ”
"I've passed the test too. Murong Qiu said.
"Me too. Yin Menghan's expression was still so cold, as if getting the water spirit bead was not something to be happy about.
"In that case, all of us have got the Water Spirit Orb. Liu Yinyin said with a smile, "It's really a great success, and it's worth the trip!"
The courage of the six Mahayana cultivators, who were not afraid of the "danger of death" and entered the Shuiling Cave, did not make the choice to enjoy comfort even when they might face "endless pain", and this courage was what prompted them to pass the test. What about "all kinds of suffering"? In the face of tenacity of the mind, it is just a thin layer of paper, and when it is pierced, what is revealed is the joy of success. Although the six people were born in the six major sects, they could only rely on themselves on the path of cultivating immortals, and the big sects only provided a slightly superior environment, so they didn't have to be too distracted by the cultivation of immortal items.
It's a pity that Shuimu Sanren Yi Liuchen, in the eyes of others, he is the first master among the scattered cultivators, his cultivation is profound, and he has the Dingguang Immortal Sword, which ranks ninth in the "Immortal Sword Spectrum", but it is these hard-won achievements that have worn out his courage, and they have become his burden when facing the choice of life and death, so that he chooses to escape rather than face it bravely.
"If he knew that this was the result, Yi Liuchen would regret his death. Shangguan Piaodao.
"Cowardly, as it should be. Yin Menghan's tone was a little disdainful.
Liu Yinyin shook her head lightly and said, "Yi Liuchen can have today's achievements, which is much more than the hardships we have paid. If I had been in his position, I would probably have chosen that way. To be honest, I wanted to go back at first, not because I was afraid of death, but because I was reluctant to rush to Yin...... If I'm gone, I'm afraid he won't survive. ”
Wen Tingying said: "Liu Daoyou, you are wrong about this. We should all have suffered from 'love and parting' in our dreams, and if that is the case, I believe that Shi Daoyou can also survive it. ”
"Okay, if you have passed the test, don't mention any 'love parting', it's sad to think about it. Alas......" Fang Wanliu sighed.
Liu Yinyin asked him curiously: "Old man Fang, what are you still sad about knowing that it is a dream, tell me what you have experienced in your dream?"
"Hey, you don't know, I looked ugly in my dream...... When I was a child, I looked in the bronze mirror for the first time, and I was scared to cry by my appearance. Later, it became uglier and uglier, and I guess even the toad didn't want to stand with me. I fell in love with the next-door neighbor's daughter, but they hated me when they saw me, not to mention how sad they were. Fang Wanliu shook his head while reminiscing, his expression was very sad.
"I was born handsome in my dream, but unfortunately when I was fifteen years old, I suddenly contracted leprosy, and I had no good place in my body, and I had no money for treatment, so I had to beg in the streets...... It's too painful to think about. Shangguan Piao also sighed.
Liu Yinyin thought to herself: "Sure enough, as Xingjun said, there is not much difference in the tests in each gate. ”
"This test is nothing at all, you have all seen the white silk given by Xingjun, and the Shuzang Palace is the biggest test. Yin Menghan narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the distant sky, "There is a danger of death in the Shuzang Palace, and the people who compete with us for the immortal sword are all in the realm of tribulation, and it is difficult to get the peerless immortal sword." ”
Fang Wanliu suddenly patted his head: "Yes, I almost forgot, the white silk reads 'If necessary, the water spirit bead can be worth a life', it seems that there must be danger, but I didn't find the map in the water spirit bead, have you found it?"
Everyone shook their heads.
Murong Qiu said: "Everyone, put aside the matter of the map for the time being. I have a question in my heart, one of us got a water spirit bead, so where is the rest of it?"
"Then you don't need to ask, of course it's in Xingjun's hands. Fang Wanliu replied confidently, "This test in the Water Ling Cave is still different from the other four Five Dou Star Caves, and each person can only get one Water Spirit Bead at most. ”
"I heard Brother Lu say that the time in Wudou Cave is different from the outside world, and after we go back, we will confirm the date and go to the Shuzang Palace two years later. The matter of the map will be left to those people in the Tribulation Period to worry about, we just need to seize the time to cultivate, and the more skill we have, the more we can grasp. Liu Yinyin encouraged everyone.
"That's true. A word of caution to everyone, beware of coveted people when you go back. Shangguan Piao bowed his hand to everyone, "I'm going back to Suihan Mountain, don't say goodbye, there will be a period later." ”
After Shangguan floated away, several other people also parted ways and went back to their respective sects.
......
The matter of the Five Dipper Star Cave finally came to an end, and the news quickly spread throughout the entire Qinglong Continent. There are different opinions about the outcome of the trip to the five caves. Regarding the matter of the Five Elements Spirit Bead, ordinary people and most immortal cultivators did not know, so various speculations were circulated: some people said that the top five immortal sword departments in the "Immortal Sword Spectrum" were now in the world, and they had been obtained by the five immortal cultivators. Some people also say that there is no peerless immortal sword in the Five Douxing Cave, but some sword immortals left behind the immortal cultivation sword books, comprehension codexes, and so on. There are also people who say that there is nothing in the Five Dou Star Cave, either because there were masters in the previous years, or it is a joke played by the sword immortals who broke through the void to the people of later generations.
During this time, Tianyun Sect Master Ye Shenrong had a very difficult time. When he heard that there was no Xuanyuan Immortal Sword in the Beidou Water Ling Cave, he couldn't sit still anymore. He is not a fool, the five Dou Star Silk pieces are hard to find, the Five Dou Star Caves are all secret, and the five tests are not easy, how can there be a reason that the five holes are empty? If there is no peerless immortal sword in the cave, then there must be something else.
"Well, those guys must be hiding something. It's a pity that I didn't ask in detail last time. It's all because of that woman, who only thinks about avenging the black demon......" Ye Shenrong thought hatefully in his heart.
Poison Refining Sect Master Peng Xinwei walked into the Kite Flying Hall and arched his hand and said, "Sect Master Ye, are you looking for me?"
"Sect Master Peng, how is your 'Dream Soul Incense' studied?" Ye Shenrong took a sip of tea and asked slowly.
Peng Xinwei frowned: "This...... Sect Master Ye, I have already tried the entire eight hundred and sixty-four poisons, and the results are all unsatisfactory. Among the Seven Poisons, I tried all of them in the Seven Poisons Garden of my sect......
"I don't care so much. If the people under control are all cultivating like me, what is the use of it? Now that there are so many masters in the Mahayana period and the tribulation period, my status as the sect master is nothing, and it is even more difficult to make them take the dream soul incense than to ascend to the heavens. Give you another two months, be sure to improve the Dream Soul Incense to 'Inhale and Neutral'!" Ye Shenrong ordered sternly.
Peng Xinwei looked embarrassed: "Sect Master Ye, two months...... It's really a bit urgent, and besides, some rare poisonous weeds are only grown in the three counties of Shenglong, Youlong, and Feilong, how can they be harvested in such a situation?"
"Well, you keep trying. By the way, don't you still know how to use medicine? If you can't add poison, you can get some medicine to try. After Ye Shenrong finished speaking, he waved his hand impatiently and motioned for Peng Xinwei to leave. Peng Xinwei did it respectfully
With a twist, he withdrew from the Kite Flying Palace.
Ye Shenrong sat alone in the Kite Flying Palace, and secretly said in his heart: "Dragon Clan...... What did they want to do? Occupy the land of the three counties, and compete with the immortal cultivators for the peerless immortal sword...... What are the secrets in the Five Dipper Star Cave?"
......
In addition to Ye Shenrong, there is another person who is also very depressed, he is Yi Liuchen, a Shuimu Sanren. After hearing that Fang Wanliu and the others had returned from the Shuiling Cave, he immediately went to Jinwu Mountain and inquired about the situation in Fang Wanliuliuling Cave, which made him regretful. In terms of the strength of his heart, Yi Liuchen thinks that he will not lose to anyone else, if he enters the cave, he will be able to pass the test, but he just lacks the courage to enter the cave and fight.
Some people were sad and some were happy, and Lu Hailong laughed a few times when he learned that Liu Yinyin had returned successfully. The seven Five Elements Spirit Beads that he had originally planned had finally been gathered.
"Yuan Xiao, the matter of the Five Dou Star Cave is over, and it's time for me to leave. Lu Hailong, who was walking in the mountains, suddenly said to Li Yuanxiao beside him.
Li Yuanxiao asked in surprise, "Master, where are you going?"
"I'm going, but I've had other plans for the past two years. I want to take Tianxiao, Tianyao, and Xiaomin out to practice, and go directly to Shuzang Palace in two years. If I am lucky enough to escape from the palace, I will find a secluded place to prepare for the catastrophe, and if I am unlucky, I will ......."
Li Yuanxiao knew what Lu Hailong wanted to say later, so he hurriedly interrupted: "No, Master will definitely be done." But Master, have you found the map of the Juzang Palace inside the Fire Spirit Bead?"
"Not yet, I'll look into it in the next two years. In short, I won't go back to Taiqing Sect again. If you and I say goodbye today, I'm afraid it will be indefinite. Lu Hailong said calmly.
Li Yuanxiao's heart was a little melancholy: "Master will definitely be able to survive the tribulation, and I will definitely be able to." In the coming day, we will definitely be able to meet again in the mysterious realm after breaking through the void. ”
Where did the people go after the successful tribulation, only Tianxiao in the Qinglong Continent knows.
"How can you be so sure that we can all make it through?"
"Of course. Most of the past sect masters of the Taiqing Sect have cultivated to sword immortals, and with your qualifications, Master, there is absolutely no suspense. What's more, the master has the Seven Stars of the Immortal Sword, and the trip to the Shuzang Palace is likely to bring back a fairy sword, and he has comprehended the sword intent in the two peerless immortal swords, if you can't cultivate the sword immortal, you are not worthy of being my master. Li Yuanxiao said with a smile.
"Ho, that's not a small tone. I'm still a little sure about the tragedy, I'm just worried about the trip to the Shuzo Palace. Lu Hailong said.
"Master, in my opinion, it is enough for you to have the Seven-Star Immortal Sword, and it is important to save your life in the Shuzang Palace. Those Tribulation Period masters who obtained the peerless immortal sword did not have the slightest effect on my Taiqing Sect, and even if the other five major sects got the immortal sword, they were only on an equal footing with our sect, and it was really not worth the effort. Li Yuan said.
Lu Hailong was noncommittal: "I will decide at my discretion." Also, I have three things to say. The first is the matter of refining the 'Heavenly Demon Pill'. There was already one in the Dragon Scale King Python Guts Sect, Lu Baifeng brought back the Blood Pupil Purple Python Guts, and when I was fighting against the demon beasts, I asked for a poisonous Python Guts from Sect Master Guo. Now that the three demon pythons have the guts, they only need to prepare the first of the seven poisonous poisons to refine the pill. Refining this pill is extraordinary, I have discussed it with Huangfu Daoyou, and then she will personally refine the pill, and then let Hua Qianxue assist on the side, and the Heavenly Demon Pill will be successful. ”
"Master, who will you give it to after Dancheng is completed?"
Lu Hailong didn't think about this question: "We don't know what the effect of the Heavenly Demon Pill is, so let Qianxue see if there are any eyebrows." It's up to you to decide who you want to take, just don't force it. If no one wants to take the pill, let it go first. ”
"Yes. ”
Lu Hailong looked at the mountain road under his feet: "The second thing is about Xie Ningdong's betrayal of the sect. I always feel that there are still mysteries that have not been clarified, so you have to be extra careful. The specific location of the Konoha Cave and the matter of the Big Dipper Silk are confidential, and I hope Xie Ningdong eavesdropped on it. What he was most worried about was that there were still Xie Ningdong's accomplices in the sect.
"Okay. ”
"The third thing is about dragons and monsters. After the trip to the Shuzang Palace, our group of people who crossed the Tribulation Realm will go to the hidden mountains and forests to retreat. I'll find an opportunity to talk to the dragons, and it's best to regain the lost territory of the three counties without fighting. ”
Li Yuanxiao frowned slightly: "Master's grasp is great, after you go into hiding, in case the people of the Dragon Clan come to attack with demon beasts in a big way, how should we deal with it?"
Lu Hailong stopped and looked at the green mountains looming in the clouds and mist in the distance: "To be honest, the people of the Dragon Clan give me a good impression. Although I don't know what the purpose of the last time they commanded the monster rebellion, I was impressed by their character. I'll try my best to convince them, but no, I'm going to use up the last chance of Kowloon Teng Yun Pei. When he said this, he couldn't help but think of the scene when he was separated from Jairus after looking for the Xidou Jinge Cave, when Jairus seemed to faintly reveal a hostile attitude towards the immortal cultivators, so he was not very sure that he could convince the Dragon Clan, but fortunately, Jiulong Tengyun Pei still had one last chance to use it.
"I see. By the way, Master, you just said, 'Say goodbye today', are you leaving the Taiqing Sect today?" asked Li Yuanxiao.
Lu Hailong nodded: "I want to help those three little guys get married within two years." Time is of the essence, and there is no room for delay. ”
"Baby, within two years?" Li Yuanxiao didn't seem to believe his ears.
Lu Hailong turned around and patted Li Yuanxiao's shoulder: "I have my own way." When I go to the Shuzo Palace in two years, I will ask them to bring back the Seven Star Sword to you. If you can win the immortal sword in the Shuzang Palace, you have to first give Huangfu and Helian two Taoist friends to understand the sword intent, and then I will comprehend it, and when I get it in your hands, I'm afraid it will already be after my tribulation. ”
Li Yuanxiao said happily: "If those three juniors can get married within two years, it will be a great joy for my Taiqing Sect." As for the peerless immortal sword, it is enough to have the Chengying Sword and the Seven Star Sword, and the master must put his life first. ”
Lu Hailong smiled and nodded.
