Chapter 232: Tell the Story of a Door
Cave sky.
It's better to say that it's a place than the environment of a place.
When cultivating in ancient Daomen, they often find a place with a comfortable atmosphere and abundant aura as their own dojo, in order to imitate, or infinitely close to the environment where heaven and earth first opened, and create an atmosphere isolated from the outside world for their practice.
Such a place is called the Cave Heaven and the Blessed Land.
And the world where Ning Shu is located has approached a kind of end of the Dharma era, not that it is impossible to practice, but the environment of cultivation has undergone a lot of changes compared to the records in ancient books, especially in the thousands of years after the disappearance of the Heavenly Court, but there have been many variables in the past hundred years.
But there are very few such places in the blessed land, and they do not increase with variables.
Kunlun Immortal Palace and many sects in the mountains are considered to be blessed by the cave, and there are also famous mountains and rivers in the world, and the same is true of the fairy island on the sea in the legend, but it has long been touched by people and has become the place where the sect is established, and the kind of natural ownerless cave has long been impossible to find.
And this space in the whirlpool of the sacred lake, with its abundant meaning and tranquil environment, is obviously a good place to practice.
Xu Yuanxin helped Ning Shu to stand up, and looked around, large and small, strange-shaped stones stood on the ground, above his head, and the sound of wind and rain never stopped.
The two looked at each other, seeing the same confusion in each other's eyes.
How can there be rain in such a cave?
Xu Yuanxin put the long sword on the ground back into the scabbard on Ning Shu's waist, then took the fifty strings and thought for a while, pinched a finger in his hand, and the fifty strings of purple light flashed into the size of a palm, like a sword-shaped jade pendant pressed into clothes.
Ning Shu looked at this sword technique, and couldn't help but secretly admire, thinking that he was worthy of being a monk from the Immortal Palace, although he didn't seem to be very good at fighting, but the number of spells involved and the intelligence of his talents were really amazing.
Xu Yuanxin felt the envious gaze of the young man next to him, lowered his head a little embarrassed, and whispered: "I saw your sword method before, and you pointed out some sword tricks, so I deduced it a little when you were unconscious just now, but fortunately it was not very complicated, so I learned it." ”
Then she seemed to be afraid that Ning Shu would be angry, and then said: "As compensation, I can teach you what you want to learn." ”
Pay somebody back in the same coin.
This is a truth that Xu Yuanxin likes very much after reading a lot of books.
It was as if she knew that in order for Ning Shu to help her find this inheritance, she had to show enough sincerity first, so she threw the complete Yuan Shen Law directly to Ning Shu.
Ning Shu was stunned when she heard this, thinking that this fairy palace girl really didn't see outside, how could she take her own things and send them out desperately, if she knew that she was a disciple of Taifu Houshan, I don't know if she would regret it.
However, looking at the girl's appearance, it is estimated that she may not care about the relationship between the Daomen and the Divine Dynasty.
He waved his hand and said: "The sword technique in the Sword Sutra is not an uncommon spell, and my sword technique is not a secret that cannot be passed on, besides, we have to support each other to go on, so we don't have to see each other." ”
"Hmm!"
Xu Yuanxin stroked the long hair hanging down from his ears and nodded lightly in response.
She came down from Kunlun, firstly, to sharpen herself, secondly, to prepare to take a look at the scenery outside, and thirdly, she wanted to meet Ning Shu, the third disciple of the legendary Taifu, and see why this so-called disciple of the Taifu Dynasty of the Daoist Dynasty could write such words.
But what she didn't expect was that the first person she met on this trip was a young man of the Divine Dynasty, and this young man was not as hateful as the monk of the Divine Dynasty who was said to be at the gate of the Dao, although the cultivation was not very high, but there was a special temperament in it.
Ning Shu looked at the cave in front of him that was surrounded by the glow of water and stalactites, his eyes were filled with purple gas, and he wanted to find a way.
But no matter how hard he tried, there seemed to be something special in this cave that blocked his perception of the world.
In particular, the sound of rain that seemed to be there not only sounded in his ears, but also echoed in his perception heaven and earth, causing his perception heaven and earth to be covered with a thick layer of mist, and his sensing ability was reduced to a minimum.
Where is this, is it under the sacred lake, or is it somewhere else, or is it a strange space that does not exist in heaven and earth?
None of this can be judged.
Xu Yuanxin raised his hand, and the brilliance flowed, and something like a wave of water appeared in front of him.
Sparkling, every nook and cranny of this cavern appears in front of you.
It's clear, much more detailed than with the naked eye.
In the middle of the water waves, there is a door between two stone pillars that rise from the ground not far away.
And this cave is surrounded by water, and Ning Shu realized that the two of them were really at the bottom of the holy lake.
The ground under your feet and the rock formations above your head are rocky, so if this is at the bottom of the lake, it must be very deep.
Being able to escape from the danger on the surface of the lake to the bottom of the lake can be said to be the only and safest option, although neither of them has suffered serious damage, but it is still important to have a chance to breathe and rest, because no one knows if the Inspiration King will also enter this sacred lake cave with him.
Since there is a door between the two stone pillars, it should be the passage to the inheritance.
"What kind of spell is this?" Ning Shu adjusted his state and looked curiously at the water waves condensed in the void in front of him.
He thought it was an interesting spell, like a mirror that could see many things, and if it was used well, where would it not be seen in the world?
Xu Yuanxin heard the young man's inquiry, and whispered: "If you want to learn, I will teach you after we go out." ”
After finishing speaking, she suddenly paused, glanced at the small purple sword in her hand, and then looked at Ning Shu, remembering that she had seen the scene in the Nine Heavens in the Jade Void Palace a year ago, how similar the two were.
The same sword intent.
Slash to the Nine Heavens.
But she wasn't sure that this was done by the same person, there were so many people in the world who used swords, and the young people around her only wanted to cultivate in the habitat, where could they swing their swords to the nine heavens?
Thinking of this, Xu Yuanxin shook his head and quickened his pace to keep up with the young man who had already walked towards the stone pillar.
There was nothing between the stone pillars, but it was only under the illumination of Xu Yuanxin's spell that an invisible door was discovered.
It's funny.
Ning Shu looked at the wall behind the two stone pillars, turned his head and asked curiously, "Did you ever hear a story when you were a child?"
"What?"
"The story goes like this, when I was a child, there was a child in the village who herded cattle for the landlord's family, and he usually couldn't eat enough, couldn't sleep warmly, and was deducted silver taels by the landlord. ”
"This kid doesn't usually have any hobbies, but he just likes to draw, and when he was herding cattle, he often took a branch and painted all kinds of pictures on the ground, and the painting was very good and lifelike......
"Then he must be very talented!" Xu Yuanxin nodded and motioned for Ning Shu to continue.
"One night, because the landlord treated him badly, the bedding was very cold, so he didn't sleep well, and in his dream he dreamed of an immortal, who gave him a pen, and when he woke up, he found that there was really a pen beside him. ”
"And then?"
Xu Yuanxin lived alone when she was a child, and she had never heard such folk tales, the records in those books were too serious, and there was no attraction at all, she was happy that someone could tell her some interesting stories.
The boy woke up and was very happy with the pen, because his body was cold, so he drew a quilt for himself, but he didn't expect the quilt to really appear, and then he drew a roast chicken for himself, and the roast chicken really appeared. ”
In order to take revenge on the landlord who oppressed him, he let the cattle and sheep in the sheepfold and cattle pen go, and then the landlord was angry and arrested him, and together with the government, the child was imprisoned. ”
"The prison was full of unjustly imprisoned people, and in order to save them, the children painted a door on the wall of the prison and led everyone to freedom. ”
After hearing Ning Shu stop, Xu Yuanxin asked suspiciously, "Then what?"
Ning Shu was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting that the girl would be interested in the end of this story, because even he himself hated his level of storytelling.
This story is the evidence attached to Yuan Youtao's story when he set foot on the cultivation in a daze, and Ning Shu's original intention was to say that the invisible door in front of him was similar to the door drawn with a pen in the story.
Looking at the girl's big eyes full of curiosity, Ning Shu tried to think about it for a while and said: "At the end of the story, the landlord and the government came to arrest them, and then the child drew a big river and swept away all the bad guys, and finally the child drew a crane for himself, and he rode the crane to become an immortal. ”
"So this story tells us about a child's path to immortality?"
"No...... This story tells us that we must follow our own hearts, not succumb to evil, and have the courage to fight against evil forces. Ning Shu explained seriously.
"Let's go, let's draw a magical door. ”
Before the stone pillars, Ning Shu looked at the direction and details in Xu Yuanxin's spell, and used the long sword in his hand to lightly slash in the middle of the two stone pillars.
The sword qi did not reach the stone wall behind it, but disappeared out of thin air.
As the sword slashed out, the sound of rain came through the air more clearly.
A crack opened in the middle of the stone pillar, like a roll of torn silk, and like a bottomless mouth.
Ning Shu and Xu Yuanxin glanced at each other and stepped into this magical 'door'.
......
......
Rain.
The sound of rain is getting louder and louder.
The world behind the door is not the cave it used to be, but a void space.
There is only endless rain in this space.
When Ning Shu looked at it with purple eyes, his brows furrowed.
"It's ...... South Curtain Village?"
Xu Yuanxin looked at the scene reflected in the water waves in front of him and said in surprise.
Nothingness is like a layer of fog that is blown away by the wind.
The world behind the fog is revealed.
