Chapter 90: The Five-Year Covenant (6000 Words)
At this time, what caught Yin Qing's eyes was a simple and grand underground palace, which seemed so abrupt in this mysterious ghost spring. The palace was surrounded by a ghostly light, but more of it was still shrouded in darkness, and it was not really visible. I don't know if Yin Qing is afraid of the unknown in his heart, he only feels that there is endless darkness and the chill of the forest at the moment. In the second floor of this lifeless ghost spring, Yin Qing was approaching the eerie and terrifying underground palace in front of him step by step.
"This is the second layer of the Ghost Spring? Where did Senior Brother Jiu and the others go? How can there be a palace standing here in this place where monsters gather, it doesn't make sense, I'd better be careful." ”
There must be a demon when things go wrong, although Yin Qing has the determination to find out, he also knows when to be extra cautious. The sword circled around him, and as he got closer, the appearance of the palace was clearly revealed. The whole palace is visually inspected by Yin Qing, and it is estimated that it is ten zhang high, and the eaves are carved and decorated, showing an octagonal volley. Outside the gate of the hall, there are two statues that look like people and inhuman people bowing their heads and praying silently, with a beast head and a human body, wings and tails, and the aura emitted from their bodies is almost the same as the wrestlers that Yin Qing met in the Dayan Illusion Realm before. Around the body of the hall are some exquisitely carved various patterns, there are dragon balls in the jaw, can avoid water and fire; The whole palace is located on the base of the white jade temple that is dozens of feet high and divided into three layers, each layer is surrounded by the carved railing of white jade carving, and there are three layers of stone carving annular grooves to protect each other, so that the whole palace appears more majestic. If it weren't for this lifeless ghost spring, it would not be an exaggeration to call it Qionggong Immortal, and the weather would be extraordinary.
Ascending the white jade steps, I saw that the main entrance of the palace was open, and the inside was quite spacious. There are countless ever-bright lamps that flicker dimly, and the curling mist is so fragrant that you can't stop wanting to fall asleep. Yin Qing hurriedly gathered his mind and kept the Lingtai clear, for fear that he would fall into the Tao unconsciously.
"Huh, what's that?"
In the middle of the hall, it seems that a stone platform is enshrined, quietly exuding majesty, even Yin Qing, who is standing at the door of the hall, can't see its appearance clearly.
Since they all arrived at the door, Yin Qing naturally had no intention of avoiding it.
"Wow!"
The entire hall suddenly lit up! The instant brightness made Yin Qing, who had just stepped into the hall, unable to open his eyes.
"Terrans, why do you disturb my slumber so much!"
The old man's majestic voice seemed to rise from the bottom of Yin Qing's heart, and it seemed to come from all directions in the hall, making people dare not slack off in the slightest.
"The juniors are bold, enter this place by mistake, please calm the anger of the seniors!" Although Yin Qing said that he couldn't see at this time, the fluctuations of the violent Dao around him made him feel that he was like a flat boat in the turbulent waves, and it was possible to capsize at any time.
"Mistakenly, joke! In this huge ghost spring, no one has strayed in!" The old man's majestic voice not only did not calm down, but even became even more angry because of Yin Qing's words.
"Ahh
Yin Qing only felt as if his hands and feet had been scratched by something, and then after a burst of pain, his hands and feet collapsed on the ground unconsciously, and he couldn't help but exclaim.
After a long while, Yin Qing slowly adapted to the light in the hall and saw the scene in front of him clearly. The stone platform in the middle of the hall was a coffin! At this time, the spiritual blood in his body flowed out along the wounds on his hands and feet, and slowly flowed towards the coffin with the concave floor tiles in the hall. After absorbing his own spiritual blood, the coffin became a little transparent, and he could vaguely see an old man in gorgeous clothes sleeping inside, but his face could not be seen clearly. At this time, Yin Qing tried to struggle to get up, but found that no matter how hard he tried, he didn't have the slightest reaction in his body, and he was completely uncontrollable. The constant overflow of blood and spiritual power made him a little dizzy and gradually weakened.
"Wake up? I didn't expect that a seemingly weak little ghost in the contemplation period actually contained so much spiritual power in his body, which was just enough to make the old man nourish. ”
The old man in the coffin didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his actions, and even said in a slightly sarcastic tone, completely ignoring Yin Qing's life.
"Senpai!"
Yin Qing shouted, his heart surging as if the blood was accelerating, only to feel a wave of weakness attacking, and he had to slow down before he spoke: "Senior, I have no grievances with you, why did you do this ruthlessly when we met for the first time?"
"Hmph! The old man was plotted to be killed in this ghost spring, and after he died in battle, he sealed the coffin with secret techniques and suppressed the demonic qi here for thousands of years. Who would have thought that in the past few years, your human race would have destroyed the Great Wall by itself, and repeatedly came to destroy the curse seal and ban in this ghost spring, so that the demonic energy leaked out and the monsters were rampant. You human race has really controlled the world for too long, and you have obviously forgotten that our races have also made great achievements! It doesn't matter if you kill yourself, why do you want to be buried with all living beings?"
Hearing these words in Yin Qing's ears was like thunder, he couldn't imagine that there was such a tortuous past in this, and he couldn't help but explain again and again: "Senior, you misunderstood! Our Hongmeng Academy Palace came to this ghost spring this time to clean up the surging monsters, keep the peace of the party, never have the slightest selfishness, and have never broken any spell seals and seals in the ghost spring!"
"Hmph, Hongmeng Academy? It turned out to be Pu Fan's apprentice and grandson, but so what? Not to mention that the identity of your Hongmeng Academy disciple needs to be verified, you are a little ghost who has cultivated in the contemplation period is going to come to the second layer of this ghost spring to clear out the monsters? Don't weigh how many catties and taels you have first, besides, this time you are unkind, then don't blame the old man for being unrighteous!"
The old man in the coffin heard Yin Qing say this, his tone was a little slower, but he didn't stop absorbing Yin Qing's spiritual blood.
"Pu Fan, why is this name so familiar, it seems that I have seen it somewhere. ”
Although Yin Qing had never heard of this name in the mouths of the people in the Hongmeng Academy, there was a trace of indescribable familiarity in his heart. Even from the old man's mouth, Yin Qing couldn't help but think of the statue of the Taoist in the Hongmeng Academy, which was the Dharma body of the first generation of the master, as if this name should be the name of the first generation of the master.
"Buzz!"
The golden Dao all over his body emerged around Yin Qing, and it was the Hongmeng Academy's Chongxu Dan Spiritual Righteous Method, which was inspired by Yin Qing at this critical juncture.
"Senior, isn't this method enough to prove my identity as a disciple of the Hongmeng Academy? There must be some misunderstanding here! Can you let me understand the cause and effect, if the senior still thinks that Yin Qing should die, it's not too late to do it!"
Yin Qing knew that if he didn't let the old man in the coffin stop absorbing his spiritual blood in time, he could only dry up his spiritual power, and his blood would dry up and turn into a human body and die, so he couldn't help but plead at this critical moment.
"Oh, such a pure Chongxu Dan Ling Fa, it seems that it has been passed on, and Pu Fan's thin-faced old man can't help but give it. Then the old man will talk to you, and let you understand that you are dead. ”
I didn't see any movement of the old man in the coffin, The wounds on Yin Qing's hands and feet were wrapped in a ball of clear qi at the same time, stopping the death of the spiritual blood.
"I don't know what to call my seniors?"
Yin Qing was temporarily free of the danger of his life, and began to inquire about the origin of the old man in the coffin. After all, judging from his tone, he should have something to do with the Hongmeng Academy, otherwise he wouldn't have stopped in a rage and spared his life for the time being. And whether he can finally save his life, he may still have to start from this aspect, Yin Qing thought so in his heart, and then had an idea.
"The old man is the fifth patriarch of the Golden-winged Peng Clan, and the name is not something that you can know as a minor monk in the contemplation period. If you ask such a useless question again, the old man will kill you!"
Although this old man was willing to talk to Yin Qing in the face of Chong Xuan Dan Lingzhengfa, he was still very arrogant in his bones, and he didn't put Yin Qing in his eyes at all. After all, in the demon clan, strength is respected, and they only respect those who are stronger than themselves.
"In the past few years, as mentioned in the previous words, someone has come to this ghost spring to destroy the spell seal and ban, but there are some other clues?"
Yin Qing had insight into the strange temper of this Golden-winged Peng Clan's predecessor from a few conversations, and he was no longer polite, and his words went straight to the point.
"The old man came to this ghost spring to give up his life in order to repay Pu Fan's kindness. For the livelihood of the people, Pu Fan is also true, there are many bones buried in Hongmeng School Palace, and the old man has also seen it in his eyes for many years. But the problem is that in the past few years, three groups of people have come one after another, so that the ghost spring has become what it is now. ”
"Three groups of people, can you tell us more about it?"
Under this undercurrent, there are so many unknown people and things. Yin Qing didn't expect that as he continued to approach and explore, he only felt that things were becoming more and more confusing, and at this time, he was completely unable to connect the things he had experienced.
"It's strange to say, two of these three groups of people let the old man see the heels, but one of them can't guess the origin. One of them is a person from the Southern Xinjiang Witch Sect, unwilling to be in a corner of peace, and wants to find a way to become stronger in this ghost spring, so they came to the old man's palace to be presumptuous and lost their lives. One is a group of people who claim to be the Thousand Slaughter Sect, and it is they who started the idea of sealing the curse seal in this ghost spring, and went straight around the old man's palace and released the demonic energy. And the third group is the most incomprehensible to the old man, a person who came alone. ”
When the old man spoke of this single comer, his tone was full of uncertainty, as if he was thinking, and as if he was repeatedly confirming.
"Senior, but what's wrong with that single comer?"
Yin Qing was also a little curious about the changes in the old man's words, and couldn't help asking.
No, he didn't do anything, he stopped in front of the old man's hall for a while, sighed and left. ”
After receiving the old man's affirmative reply, Yin Qing was also a little foggy for a while.
"Huh, this familiar demon clan breath, let Uncle Ben see what you kid is doing!" Han Xuan in the Lingtai Consciousness Sea suddenly appeared and said in surprise.
"Hmm, you kid actually imprisoned the bloodline of my demon clan in his body, the crime is unforgivable, and he should be punished!"
The old man in the coffin was still thinking about it, but he suddenly felt the cold Xuan in the sea of spiritual knowledge in Yin Qing's body, and he couldn't help but be furious. Several feathers roared from the coffin and shot straight at Yin Qing, who couldn't move.
"Third grandfather, don't, it's me!"
Han Xuan seemed to recognize the old man in the coffin, and shouted loudly in Yin Qinglingtai's sea of knowledge, for fear that the old man would shoot Yin Qing to death and save his life.
"Huh?"
Ling Yu stopped abruptly when he was less than half an inch away from Yin Qing, and the old man in the coffin was obviously stunned.
"Third Grandpa, when you suddenly lost your trace, the Golden-winged Peng clan searched everywhere for a hundred years, and there was no news, but I didn't expect you to live in this ghost spring. ”
Yin Qingling, Han Xuan in the sea of knowledge was also emotional, and his voice was a little choked for a while.
"Brother Han Xuan, do you know?" Yin Qing, who was completely unexpected, was a little confused, and asked Han Xuan in the sea of Lingtai knowledge again and again.
"That's right, our Qingdian Thunder Sand Falcon Clan and the Golden-winged Peng Clan have been friends for generations, so it can be said that they are from the same origin, so it is not surprising that they are familiar with each other. Han Xuan nodded, looking as he should be.
Immediately afterwards, the old man in the coffin and Han Xuan communicated for a while, using the language of the demon clan, and Yin Qing, who couldn't understand a word, could only wait there. After a long time, the two demons stopped talking.
"That kid named Yin Qing, I heard Xuan'er say that you treat him well on weekdays, there is a Pu Fan's sword intent in my palace, if you are lucky enough to be able to comprehend a few points, it can be regarded as creation. If you can't, then you don't have the blessing yourself. ”
I don't know if Han Xuan said anything good to him, but the old man at this time wanted to give Yin Qing such a great opportunity, which made Yin Qing a little flattered.
As soon as the old man's words fell, Yin Qing only felt that he had regained control of his body, and couldn't help but thank him: "Thank you seniors for your success!"
"Hmph! If you get the benefits, you will definitely have to pay the corresponding price, so don't be too happy. ”
Yin Qing didn't take the old man's words to heart at all, and at this moment, he only had that sword intent in his heart.
"Duh!"
With a soft drink from the old man in the coffin, the scenery in front of Yin Qing's eyes suddenly changed. For a while, there was nothing around the palace, and a deep sword mark appeared in front of Yin Qing's eyes, and the majestic sword intent filled the entire space.
That sword mark seemed to cut off the ancient and modern, giving Yin Qing the illusion that even time and space could be stagnant. The seemingly sharp sword intent was experienced with his heart, but Yin Qing could feel a kind of compassion from it, a kind of heroic spirit that established a life for the people, a heart for heaven and earth, and peace for all generations. The Chong Void Pill Spirit Fa above the Divine Soul was also sensing it at this moment, buzzing non-stop, and countless Dao Dao surrounded Yin Qing, making him unable to tell where he was for a while.
"The true meaning in the sword, every style should return to the basics. ”
A middle-aged man was holding a sword in the cave and whispering, and Yin Qing looked at it, and it was on the mountain behind the Hongmeng School Palace.
"If any kind of swordsmanship is completely separated, it should be able to be divided into this basic thirteen styles!"
A middle-aged man practiced swords in the sunset, and his sword was slow, but there was truth in every sword. Yin Qing watched silently beside him, stabbing, picking, pointing, teasing, sweeping, splitting, collapsing, chopping, racking, intercepting, twisting, dialing, and hanging. Every move of the man flowed smoothly, and when a sword came out, it seemed that the heavens and the earth were eclipsed, and only this pure sword intent remained.
"The sword heart is set, when the night is small!"
In the ghost spring, a middle-aged man stood with a sword, facing the hideous and vicious monster in front of him, his face did not change, and he even talked and laughed.
......
Yin Qing unconsciously saw many fragments of sword intent appear in front of him, but he could never see the middle-aged man's face clearly. Even if he knew that this middle-aged man was Pu Fan, the first head of the Hongmeng Academy, even if he had seen the stone carvings in the Hongmeng Academy, and the picture scrolls in the Tianlang Qi Qing Palace, Yin Qing's mind was still blurry, as if he was covered by something. But Yin Qing could really feel the sword intent in front of him, and even the chains bound to the divine soul rattled, looking very afraid.
"Click!
In the perception over and over again, Yin Qing's soul unconsciously condensed a sword made of his mind, and with the blessing of the Chongxu Dan Spirit Righteous Law Rules, for a while, the golden light was surrounded, and the sword intent was fierce.
"It's now!"
Yin Qing only felt that his spirit and spirit had been raised to the extreme, and the sword of thought on his divine soul bloomed with dazzling cold light.
"Bell!"
The chains on Yin Qing's soul broke in response, and for a while, Yin Qing only felt that his divine soul was lighter, and the sense of heaven and earth was clearer, and the spiritual power completed the operation of Zhou Tian in an instant, filling the entire Eight Veins of the Qi Sutra. Unexpectedly, the sword intent of the first generation of the master of the sect made Yin Qing, who was already ready to go, come to fruition for a while, and advanced to the qi transformation period!
"Well, this kid seems to be a bit spiritual, not the kind of stupid person. This Pu Fan is really a blessing, the disciples and grandchildren have passed on the torch, but it's a pity that he ...... Alas!"
The old man in the coffin looked at Yin Qing, who was sitting cross-legged and entering the best situation, and couldn't help but sigh.
And when Yin Qing was still in the palace to comprehend the sword intent, Jiu Zhenren ran into trouble.
"Senior brother, this real demon seems to be tempting us, we have been chasing all the way for so long, and it won't look back, it can't be some trap, right?"
The fast-flying Crane Chi looked at the slightly advanced Jiu Zhenren with an anxious expression, and asked out loud.
Jiu Zhenren also seemed to see that the true demon was not fighting head-on, but just wanted to delay the intention of time, and said helplessly: "I know that there must be something strange in this matter, but Senior Brother Helai is in their hands, and we have to send it at this time! If we don't bring Senior Brother Helai back completely, how can we explain to the Sect Master? Besides, this True Demon has not gone down to the three underground floors of the Ghost Spring, and our cultivation has a good chance of winning, so how about we work harder to catch up with the True Demon and save Helai?"
"What Senior Brother said is not unreasonable, but Senior Brother, I am worried about those injured disciples who are recuperating on the first floor. After all, in this battle of the Ghost Spring, we have brought the elite of the young disciples of the Academy Palace, if something goes wrong, I am afraid that it will be difficult for my Hongmeng Academy Palace to recover within a hundred years. ”
Although this time the ghost spring cleared the monsters led by Ji Zhenren, Hechi also had to express his worries. After all, this is a major matter related to the Hongmeng Academy, and you can't just ignore the lives of many young disciples of the Hongmeng Academy just because of one crane.
Hearing what Hechi said, Jiu Zhenren also figured out the seriousness of the matter, and after weighing the two sides, he said: "In this way, we will chase for another hour, and it would be best if we could recover Helai." If it doesn't work, then it is the will of heaven, and we can only lead the disciples back to the mountain and accept the punishment of the master, what do you think?"
Hechi didn't expect Jiu Zhenren to be so decisive for a while, and asked tentatively: "Senior brother, why don't we go to that palace to ask for help? With the help of that senior, isn't it ten million times better than us chasing after us like this?"
"Presumptuous! That is to seal the demonic energy of this ghost spring, and sacrifice their lives to sleep and guard the burial place of the demon clan predecessors here. There has always been a clear order in the school palace that it is forbidden for anyone other than the head of the sect to disturb him, don't you know that as a disciple of the law enforcement elder?"
"Alas, it wasn't an extraordinary time when extraordinary means could only be used, and I was also thinking about us. If it is delayed for a long time, if there is any accident...... "Hechi didn't expect that Jiu Zhenren would get angry, after all, this matter is man-made, and he is also thinking about the overall situation.
"In case of any accidents, it should be borne by me Hezhao alone! Rules are rules, and they can't be broken at any time!"
"Alas, senior brother, wait for me!" Hechi also changed his body shape and went in the direction of Jiu Zhenren's flight.
......
"Thank you seniors for making it perfect!"
Yin Qing, who had completed his comprehension of the sword intent, felt the change in himself, saluted the coffin again, and said respectfully.
"Don't be too happy, boy! ”
The faint words of the old man in the coffin made Yin Qing's heart rise to his throat again.
Yin Qing could only stubbornly say: "Please make it clear to your seniors, if there is an order, Yin Qing should do his best!"
"The old man doesn't want you to do your best, you have to achieve it!"
Suddenly, a clear qi enveloped Yin Qing, and before he could react, after a pulling force, Yin Qing only felt as if something was missing in his body.
"Hmm, why did Uncle Ben come out? Hey, what are you doing?"
Yin Qing was stunned to find that Han Xuan, who was originally in his spiritual platform, was actually taken away by this clear qi.
"Boy, I want you to arrest the culprit of the Thousand Slaughter Sect's coming to this ghost spring to release demonic energy within five years!"
The old man in the coffin took Han Xuan away and asked. After pondering for a moment, he continued without the slightest emotion: "If you can't send it to the old man within five years, then you, the eldest brother of the demon clan, will only be wiped out by then." ”
"Senior, since Brother Han Xuan is the same demon clan as you, and he calls you the third grandfather, how can you do it?"
Yin Qing obviously didn't expect the old man to use Han Xuan's life to threaten him, and asked helplessly.
"The rules are made by the strong, and the weak can only obey! You just need to do things well, and the rest is not your turn to worry about, go!"
Another clear light struck, and Yin Qing in the hall disappeared in an instant.
"Xuan'er, did you say this kid would come in five years?"
"Yes, Uncle Ben believes in him!"
(Ask for tickets and collections, thank you!)
