Chapter 7: A Strange Dream
"Hehe, young man, are you so eager to see the old man?" As soon as he fell asleep, the old man trembled.
Wu Shijiu had thousands of question marks in his stomach, but he didn't know where to start. I only heard the old man say again: "Since you know my identity, I might as well tell you: my real name is Yu Qiaman, and I am the former hall master of the Wujun Hall in Xixia." ”
"Ah...... I'll just say, the surname is the surname of Western Xia, and you are a big guy? You are one of the best people in Western Xia...... But you say you've been dead for years? Hmm, I want to think about it...... It's 2019, and you've been dead for a thousand years. ”
"I mentioned to you last night, this is the calamity set by the god of Helan Mountain, every nine hundred and ninety-nine years will occur in the spiritual reincarnation, when the spiritual gate is opened, the ancient can pass through the present, demons and ghosts come out, in order to test the world's living beings, to the past, the world is peaceful, can not stand it, the order is reorganized, and the living beings are devastated. ”
"I don't understand, do you have to be more clear?"
So, Rewarding Yu Qiaman moved the capital to Li Deming, the king of Xiping, and the dragon veins vibrate, inevitably triggering the reincarnation of the spirit world, and the spiritual gate is about to open and inform Wu Shijiu one by one, after speaking, he lifted the sleeve of his robe, revealing a dark brown scar on his leg and said: "The old man originally planned to use psychic spells to predict all kinds of calamities after the opening of the spiritual gate, but he was unexpectedly bitten by the Hu gang master of the Tianmia Gate, and he was bitten by a beetle snake and died of poison. The old man revealed that the secret of heaven should be like this, but it is a pity that the important task of finding the psychic messenger has not been completed, and he will not be able to turn a blind eye. ”
"I know that the king of Xiping moved the capital, it was 1020 A.D., and it has indeed been 999 years until this year, but why hasn't anything happened?
"History books, hehe, that's all a lie to you nerds. There is still half a month before the spiritual gate opens, and you will know it on the day of the Chung Yeung Festival. ”
"Ah...... Will there be a catastrophe?"
"Not in today's world for the time being, but the world nine hundred and ninety-nine years ago will face calamity. If the spiritual gate is not closed soon, both worlds will suffer a heavy blow. ”
"What do you mean, what kind of messenger am I, I'm going to save them?"
"There is no one but you. ”
"Don't, I'm just a courier, except for a frog killed in biology class, I haven't even killed a chicken at other times, what ability do I have to save the ancient people, do I ......do it? Ahh
Before Wu Shijiu finished speaking, he saw that Xian Yu's ten fingers were like hooks and tightly grasped his two wrists, and he shouted, "Go!" A violent force poured into his whole body, and he only felt that the qi and blood in his internal organs were surging up and down, and he opened his mouth, but he couldn't speak. Then the two hot airflows first converged into the lower abdomen, like knocking over a hot water bottle, bulging unbearably. was so uncomfortable that he wanted to die or live, suddenly two air currents, one up, one down, began to swim all over the body, every time he passed an acupuncture point, he jumped "suddenly", his limbs were indescribably uncomfortable, and the whole person was almost bursting. After a while, the two air currents came to the chest, met and merged, turning into a warm current, slowly injected into the lower abdomen, like a docile kitten, soft, warm and warm, as if asleep. But as long as the mind moves, the two air currents will immediately fly with the mind, and wherever the mind goes, they will go there, and there is no end to it.
When I woke up again, the sky was bright again, and the missed calls on my phone had become "99+". Wu Shijiu was stunned for a while, I don't know if it was in a dream or in reality, he reached out and pinched his leg, only to hurt so much that his heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys were pulled together, and his facial features were misplaced, and he almost shouted: Why did he pinch his legs purple with a slight effort?
He wanted to get out of bed and wash, but as soon as he stepped up, he heard a click, and the bed board was not struggling, and it broke in two. Pick up the water cup and drink it, and with a gentle pinch, the water cup will break into pieces. Wu Shijiu stood in place in a daze: What's wrong with me? Why is it so powerful?
After a busy day in the following day, Wu Shijiu only felt full of energy, as if he had endless strength, and with a little effort, the breath in his body flowed and he was full of vitality. It's just that there is a backlog of express mail for two days, and it is indispensable to be complained by the supervisor and the customer, but fortunately, he has good tolerance and doesn't care.
In the blink of an eye, it was night again, Wu Shijiu couldn't wait to lie down and just wait to fall asleep, looking forward to another surprise from appreciating the feathers. In the dimness, I seemed to hear a woman singing, the song was empty and distant, sad and desolate, not like today's pop songs, but a bit of ancient songs. After listening to it for a while, his heart was inexplicably sad from it, he has been pressed in the bottom of his heart in recent years and has nowhere to pour out, and he was saddened by this song, just like a person who has been depressed for a long time meets a bosom friend, a little familiar, a little kind, and then he was stunned and shed tears.
"Singer, remember to be careful when you meet him in the future. ”
Wu Shijiu was fascinated by what he heard, and he didn't notice that Yu Qiaman had appeared: "Old man, who is she? How can there be such a poignant voice in the world?"
"The rivers and lakes you are going to go to have such four proverbs circulating: Ten miles of Wujun is a miasma, a hundred years old asks for a sick foot Yangchun; In these four sentences, you must keep in mind that the people mentioned in them are the top masters you will meet in the future, and some of these people are enemies and some are friends. The further back you go, the higher the kung fu. Some people will be your lifelong rivals. The world I live in, the rivers and lakes are sinister, every step is a game, people's hearts are ghostly, and it is impossible to prevent it. The song you just heard was sung by one of them, the people in the rivers and lakes called Mrs. Shili, she has three stunts, the soul sound, the psychic whip, and the centrifugal needle, if you meet it in the future, it is best to avoid it. As a last resort, she had to fight, and the most important thing to pay attention to was her soul sound. ”
"What I just heard, is the Dementor sound?"
"Exactly! At this moment, you have a mental connection with the Lingmen, and you will perceive some of the people or things of 999 years ago. This person's soul dementor sound can hook people's hearts, confuse people's minds, and even take people's lives, and the sound can still be heard for ten miles. The reason why you hear her singing in your dreams is because Lady Ten Mile is looking for you everywhere. ”
"What is she looking for me?"
"I think that through the spiritual gate, there will be countless treasures, and the people in the rivers and lakes, in the final analysis, are nothing more than seeking life and death, pleasure, and wealth. Catching you, a psychic messenger, will allow you to take them through the spiritual gate and satisfy their desires. Or you can find eight other psychic messengers to use them. Of course, this is just wishful thinking. Those people didn't know that unless it was the psychic messenger himself, if he dared to pass through the spiritual gate, everything would be turned into powder. ”
"I see...... But when I listen to this song, it seems to carry a certain sadness, and it seems to be a kind of lovesickness, not like desire......"
"You are not deeply involved in the world, you are simple-minded, and it is difficult to have distracting thoughts. But your love has been opened, and you have tasted the love affair between men and women for the first time, and when you hear such a song, you will inevitably feel emotional. After a pause, he said again: "The person whom Mrs. Shili admires has great ambitions, which are rare in the world, but that person has been cold to men and women in recent years. Mrs. Shili is entangled in evil fate, and has done a lot of things that violate chivalry over the years, which has been criticized by the people of the rivers and lakes. She is looking for you, naturally, to use you for her own use. Alas, there are unbreakable poisons in this world, greed, hatred, and obsession, and the poison is the most poisonous. ”
After speaking, the two were silent for a long time, each with their own thoughts, and did not speak.
After a while, Yue Yu Qia Man said: "What was passed on to you yesterday is just a method of luck, after nearly a thousand years, the people of your era have long since lost sight of the wonders of the meridians." You entered the spiritual gate, and nine hundred and ninety-nine years ago, walking the rivers and lakes, there was no foundation on your body, and I am afraid that it would be difficult to move an inch. ”
"I said how could I suddenly have so much strength, I feel that my body is full of energy, and I can't stop working hard. ”
"This is just scratching the surface, if you want to find like-minded people to close the spiritual door together, this little bit of ability...... Hey. ”
"Huh, this is the fur, and how far do you have to practice?"
"In this world, the principles of kung fu and martial arts are no different, either for physical fitness or for technical killing. If you don't kill people, you must beware of being killed. Therefore, when martial arts reach the highest level, it is necessary to practice the art of controlling spirits. What I passed on to you last night is just the foundation of the foundation, and only by opening the eight veins of the Qi Sutra can you continue to cultivate. ”
Wu Shijiu said curiously: "What is the art of controlling the spirit, is it more powerful than qigong?"
"In any martial arts, there is always a bottleneck, what can you do if you learn the pinnacle? However, this is not the case with the art of the Spirit, which can divert the spiritual breath of all things in heaven and earth for its own use. Spiritual arts were originally divided into metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, and the five elements were born together, but they were mutually reinforcing. Since then, there have been the use of cultivating soil and producing gold, gold and water, nourishing water and culverting wood, mending wood and making fire, and benefiting fire and replenishing soil. Since the Han Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, it has gradually matured and been handed down.
In the early years of the Song Dynasty, there was a warrior from the East who came to Middle-earth to learn his skills, this man was extremely short, at first, he was always regarded as a child when he came to compete in martial arts, and was ridiculed and ridiculed. But as soon as he made a move, he was shocked. This person not only combined and transformed the five spiritual techniques at will, but also created a new kind of spiritual art, called the Front-Fighting Array. The people in the rivers and lakes of Middle-earth did not know at that time that this was studied by local masters after Tang Mi was introduced to Dongying. For a time, there were countless celebrities who were defeated under him, and the rivers and lakes even changed color.
Later, the Dongying warrior heard that there was a reclusive master in Middle-earth who had extraordinary means, so he found him to compete. After the confirmation of both sides, it was learned that when Tang Mi was introduced to Dongying, someone made a mistake and copied the array of soldiers and fighters into the array of soldiers and fighters. One is moving forward, the other is forward, this movement and stillness, but there are thousands of changes. It was this small mistake that allowed the master of the Central Plains to seize the opportunity to subdue the other party, which saved the face of the Central Plains warriors.
Everyone discussed that they wanted to nominate this person as the leader of the World Alliance, but he insisted on not accepting it. Later, for some reason, he suddenly lived in seclusion in the deep mountains and valleys, and closed his doors. However, before retiring, he studied a set of nine spiritual techniques, namely: metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, clouds, thunder, and electricity. In recent years, Mr. Ten Spirits, who has appeared in the rivers and lakes, can emerge just by using a single spiritual technique quite successfully. ”
"Is Mr. Shiling a person?"
"Hey, the little baby has a lot of questions. Mr. Shiling is ten people, in order of ranking, they are: Mang Yi Monk, Li Mao'er, Ghost Three Po, Wan Si Master, Ugly Five Marquis, Six Dust Walkers, Mo Qizi, Eight Uncles and Eight Uncles, Yuwen Nine Bone, and Mrs. Shili. ”
"Ah, I didn't expect that this Mrs. Shili would be ranked as Mr. Shiling. ”
"Hmm...... In terms of a single psychic technique, these people are already a good hand. But the nine spiritual powers are not necessarily unrelated. If each of the two spiritual techniques is used together, the power will be further enhanced. For example: water cloud trick, wind and thunder decision, civil engineering decision and so on. ”
Wu Shijiu only felt as if a door had been opened, and he saw a new world that he had never seen before, and he was fascinated: "If you use more than three kinds of spiritual techniques at will, wouldn't you be invincible in the world?"
"The appetite is not small! The world is invincible, and the spiritual power must be based on a solid and strong internal force, otherwise it will hurt oneself instead of hurting others. Your current internal strength foundation is mediocre, and you are not yet the time to cultivate spiritual arts. But there are also people with high understanding on the rivers and lakes who can practice this kind of stunt. For example, people are known as the three masters, one is the Ghost Emperor Yin and Yang, the other is the Plague Emperor Hei Yueming, and the other is a doctor who smells one. ”
"I remember, is it the character in the sentence that the fourth degree of Yanmen is considered a plague ghost?"
"Yes, these three people can use a combination of three spiritual arts, which is a great character. But in front of a person, this trick is an axe. ”
"I see, it's the master who defeated the Toei samurai. ”
"Exactly. In order to compete for that bit of fame and profit, the rivers and lakes fight and kill all day long, which is far from the old man. This master claims to be the old man Liu Zizai, but because he is tired of the world, he has been living on the Lingding Cliff since he retired, and no one knows his traces over the years. ”
"Lingding Cliff...... The old man Liu Zizi ......" Wu Shijiu muttered: "Listening to this name, I feel like a free and unrestrained person." ”
"This person is used to being alone, living in a shallow way, and ignoring the world. An old friend of mine was fortunate enough to have a single one or two from him, and now he is on his own. ”
"Who is it? Will I run into him?"
"In the future, he will be your master, and the people in the rivers and lakes will be called Fenghu, and you will worship under his door. When you go in search of the other eight psychic messengers in the future, you will encounter more strange anecdotes. At that time, there are four other proverbs, you must keep in mind: how can you ask if you die before Miao, Qiguan slaughtered tens of thousands of souls. Mo Daoya is high Kunlun and far away, and Miaoxiang is a real body in the country. The characters involved in this need to be more cautious. ”
For half a month, Wu Shijiu was busy delivering couriers during the day, and memorized mantras in his dreams at night and practiced basic skills. Because of the careful guidance of the reward feather, the progress is also rapid. It's just that as time went on, the old man became weaker and weaker.
In a blink of an eye, the Double Ninth Festival.
This night, Yue Yu Qiaman's voice became weaker and weaker, staring at Wu Shijiu and reciting the mantra, guiding the true qi in his body, seeing that he was becoming more and more mature in use, he said slowly: "Shijiu, you and I live in a dream together, and the time is not short." Tomorrow the spiritual gate will be opened, and you will walk through the door and fall into a strange world. In response to the first round of demons and ghosts, the old man has told King Xiping to take all possible measures. The only one who can't rest assured is you. You have to promise the old man that no matter where you are, you must remember your mission. We must overcome all difficulties, find people in the same way, close the spiritual door, and save the world from fire and water. However, you also have to be careful of the ninth psychic messenger......"
Later, the sound was almost inaudible. Wu Shijiu hurriedly said: "Be careful of whom? Old man, cheer up, don't leave me alone." ”
Xiang Yuqia looked tired and said with a forced smile: "The old man revealed that there are too many heavenly opportunities, and he is about to scatter his soul." You and I will never see each other again, even in dreams, and everything I know has been told, but what I know is limited by my own strength. I just hope you are ready, the world of 999 years ago was far from being as simple as you imagined. After that, it's mostly up to you. ”
As he spoke, he suddenly raised his voice and shouted: "Remember, remember, you are only to complete your mission, and you must not interfere with the historical process, it is it, you are your ......"
Before he finished speaking, he turned into a cloud of smoke and disappeared.
"Hey, old man, don't go, come back quickly......"
Wu Shijiu woke up from the dream, only to feel that his face was full of tears. This old man, who gets along with himself day and night in his dreams, is also a teacher and friend, and already has an inexplicable sense of intimacy. At this time, his mother was delirious, his father disappeared, and he inadvertently regarded Yuqia Man as a close relative, and he only felt that in his life for more than 20 years, no one had ever talked so much with him and taught him so much to learn. Thinking that from now on, even in a dream, I will never see each other again, and my heart is sour. Thinking about it, it is difficult to fall asleep after tossing and turning.
When the day dawns, what will the world be like in the past?
