Chapter 6 Searching for the Black Light, the Central Devil The past is like smoke
In order to take a look at this old road of Wangchen, Wangchen cultivation is already high, walking fast, and starting early, but has not yet arrived in Chenzhou. It turned out that since the Shuanglin Temple, along the way through Shushan, Emei, Qingcheng and other sects near the vicinity, Wangchen's friends who traveled the world have invited each other, please Wangchen to come to the master for a small gathering, Wangchen was originally worried about the chance of the demon robbery, but according to Master Moya, the time of the demon robbery is about a month away, and there is plenty of time, so Wangchen gladly accepted the invitation, and made a guest friend in various sects, during which he also made a special detour to Hubei, and went to Wudang Mountain to find his old friend of the year, and now Zhang Sanfeng, who is now the head of the faction, went to drink. By the time I officially set off and rushed to Chenzhou, dozens of days had passed.
And Chu Xunyu, who rushed to Chenzhou after hearing the news, when Chu Xunyu arrived in Chenzhou, it was already dawn, standing high above the clouds, looking down at Chenzhou City under him, his consciousness was released, and he searched this Chenzhou City several times without any scruples, and did not find anything abnormal, it seems that this lame old man is also cautious, he must have used some magic power to cover his breath, but Chu Xunyu had no choice but to investigate on foot in the city.
For a few days, there was no gain, Chu Xunyu was not in a hurry, seeing that the time was noon, he sat down on a simple tea shop near the suburbs, asked for a bowl of tea, and sat down to think slowly about the clues. At the right time, it was noon, and the guests and traders who came from the south and went north stopped here to rest. While Chu Xunyu was pondering, a tall figure on the opposite side sat down and shouted loudly: "Shopkeeper, cut half a catty of beef, and what other staple food to fill your stomach, bring more up." β
Chu Xunyu raised his head at this moment and saw a big man sitting opposite him with a big knife on his back and a tiger's waist, but looking at his outfit, he knew that he was a dart master who was walking the rivers and lakes with goods.
This big man also noticed Chu Xunyu at this time, seeing that his body was thin and weak, but his eyes were bright, and he had weapons on his body, and it was estimated that he was also a kung fu who had practiced kung fu for a few years, and seeing his appearance was white and handsome, it seemed that a rich kid came out to travel, so he hugged his fists and smiled, and said: "Little brother, there are many people at noon, come and get a seat, don't mind." β
Speaking of the long years of cultivators, the permanent appearance is just an ordinary means, according to the real age, Chu Xunyu is estimated to be the grandfather of this big man, but he calls himself a little brother, but he doesn't mind, and said with a slight smile: "It's okay." β
Most of the people who walk the rivers and lakes are talkative, and they have a bold personality, and this big man is no exception, and he talked to Chu Xunyu in a few words, during the conversation, Chu Xunyu learned that this big man's surname is Gao Mingwei, and the person is as his name suggests, he is indeed quite tall and mighty, he came to Chenzhou from the north to deliver goods, and he has arrived here two days ago, and he is ready to go back after the matter is done today.
Gao Wei casually pulled the homely food while eating, and asked: "Little brother of the Chu family, looking at your conditions and age, you should be married, why don't you hold your wife and concubine at home and come to this outskirts to suffer?"
A seemingly ordinary sentence, but Chu Xunyu was in a trance, and this time Chenzhou's trip happened to be here for this matter. With a light sigh in his heart, Chu Xunyu's thoughts seemed to have returned to more than ten years, his beloved was lying in his arms, and before Xiao Xiao died, he happened to mention this round knowledge and disgusting lantern. It seems that this time I came here, I was indeed right, and I could find the cause of death behind Xiao Xiao.
Suddenly, Chu Xunyu raised his head and asked, "Brother Gao, what is the strange thing in Chenzhou these days?" Gao Wei, who was eating happily, raised his head and said with a smile: "Strange thing, I haven't encountered it, but I give my brother a piece of advice, this matter of the rivers and lakes is not the fun that you listen to in the teahouse tavern, it is better to go home quickly and marry a wife, it is much better than the days when it is hard and tired and full of dangers outside." β
Chu Xunyu was speechless for a while, it turned out that he regarded himself as a rich kid who had sneaked out to break through the rivers and lakes, and was about to open his mouth to explain something, when suddenly a burst of shouting and scolding came, and when he turned his head, Chu Xunyu's eyes suddenly became cold, and it turned out that there was a lame ugly old man not far away, holding a black palace lamp in his hand and jumping up and down near the table not far away, laughing at everyone.
The owner of the tea shop also hurriedly called the men to drive people away, and the lame ugly old man didn't care, and limped away on the dirt road.
At this time, Chu Xunyu was in the distance, restrained his breath, hid his figure, and watched the lame old man jump up and walk in the woods with cold eyes. Chu Xunyu originally wanted to find a secluded place, take down this person in one fell swoop, and ask the reason carefully. However, who knew that if you take a closer look, there is no aura fluctuation on this person, and at a glance, you can know that it is an ordinary person, Chu Xunyu felt puzzled unconsciously, and silently followed behind, wanting to see what was going on. At this moment, the startling change came again, I saw that the lame old man was acting crazy, but suddenly there was a surge of demonic qi on his body, Chu Xunyu couldn't help frowning, it turned out that this guy was clearly hiding his breath just now, and he was about to make a move, but the demonic qi suddenly disappeared again, as if it had never existed at all, Chu Xunyu was taken aback, and after taking a closer look, there was indeed no trace of demonic energy.
Chu Xunyu had no choice but to be patient and continue to follow, and sure enough, this lame old man had a lot of weirdness on his body, and the demonic qi on his body was surging for a while, and there was no aura on his body for a while, just like an ordinary person. Chu Xunyu followed all the way and thought about what kind of exercise this was, and before he knew it, he had already walked for an hour.
It's funny, this lame old man behaved like crazy, jumping up and down, and a sentence came out of his mouth from time to time: "Sister Shan, don't run yo, my brother is back from the market." Then his tone changed, and he shouted again: "Look at the fifty songs of a certain angry enemy coward." "The preamble doesn't match the afterword. However, the road he took became more and more deviant, and he came to a group of mountains.
Chu Xunyu followed behind him, and he didn't break it, but he just followed, and the lame old man came to a tree hole more than one person high, and without hesitation, he stepped into it. Chu Xunyu came to the entrance of the cave, looked around, and couldn't help but be stunned, but saw that the surrounding terrain was high in the west and low in the east, the yin energy did not go, and the yang energy did not return, so it was a natural place to hide dirt and dirt.
After looking at it, Chu Xunyu still calmly raised his legs and approached the cave, the cave extended downward, without the slightest light, but for Chu Xunyu, the vision of the day and night did not affect at all, a little luck, gathered the aura in his eyes, he saw clearly, and walked all the way, as he went deeper and deeper, Chu Xunyu became more and more convinced that there must be people of the devil's way here, but seeing the corpses all over the ground, the traces of the demonic qi rolling on the wall of the cave were clearly visible.
Not long after, the vision suddenly opened up, and it turned out to be in a spacious cave, not far away, the lame old man sat cross-legged facing Chu Xunyu, closed his eyes tightly, and suddenly said: "How?
Chu Xunyu was not surprised, and said coldly: "Where did this black light come from in your hand?"
The lame old man smiled strangely, opened his eyes, and was about to say something, when he suddenly let out a shrill woman-like exclamation: "Siyi, is it you?" with an expression of disbelief.
Chu Xunyu was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Oh? I didn't expect that you, a monster, also recognize me, so who are you?"
"Giggles...... A shrill woman's laughter echoed in the hole, and the lame old man's voice had completely changed to a woman at the moment, "Good, good, good." It's really a narrow road, a cycle of cause and effect, I think you are going to die today,"
At this moment, it was Chu Xunyu's turn to be surprised: "Why, I can't remember, when did I recognize you, a demon, who are you?"
"Hmph, Siyi, do you remember that twenty-five years ago, that person from the Butterfly Flower Gate in Yanzhou?" asked the lame old man with a gloomy face at this time, and asked in a strange woman's voice.
"En, Butterfly Flower Gate, Yanzhou?" Chu Xunyu thought about it, and really remembered. Twenty-five years ago, wars broke out in the land of China, and the people's livelihood was suffering, and Chu Xunyu at that time happened to be sent out by the elders of the Yaowang Mansion to travel the world, and the Taoist name was Siyi. Traveling to the Yanzhou area, the result happened to encounter the plague raging, the Yaowangfu is one of the top ten families in ancient times, with medicine into the Tao, Bian Que, Sun Simiao are all famous doctors in the world, that is, born in the Yaowangfu family. Therefore, Chu Xunyu naturally gained the three flavors of pharmacology, so he practiced medicine in Yanzhou to save people and accumulate merits.
At that time, Chu Xunyu was just a little monk in the period of spiritual silence, and when he was saving people in Yanzhou, he met a demon girl from the Butterfly Flower Gate who was in trouble. Butterfly Flower Gate, is a small sect of evil ways, ashamed of the righteous way, the door is full of women, debauchery, practice are the evil way of collecting yang and supplementing yin, this demon girl took advantage of the Yanzhou epidemic rampant, then came out to harm people, so that Chu Xun at that time bumped into her, Chu Xunyu naturally couldn't let her go, so he chased all the way forward, it was clear that the way of heaven, the demon girl sucked enough yang energy, in the middle of the night, breathing on the mountain peak, was about to tie the Dan, at this time it was unstable, the aura was not connected, was found by Chu Xunyu, and immediately angry, a sword to punish it with his command, but young, and no fighting experience, let it escape the Yuan Shen, I didn't expect so many years, bumped into hereγ As a result, the man and woman are unknown.
"Hmph, remember? I made you take advantage of the loophole back then, okay, I'll use you for a blood sacrifice today. With that, the lame old man pounced, carrying the lamp in his right hand and pinching the trick in his left hand. Chu Xunyu was not in a hurry, he smiled indifferently, the sword didn't come out, but with a slight finger of his right hand, a sword aura suddenly came out,
Cutting off his right hand holding the lamp, the demon girl snorted in pain, and her left hand was even a magic trick, wanting to retreat, Chu Xunyu's heart moved, and a great divine power was born out of thin air, and he forcibly pulled the demon girl's primordial spirit out of her body. The demon girl exclaimed, "How is it possible?
Chu Xunyu smiled indifferently, and a stream of Yimu green fire wrapped and burned the demon girl's primordial spirit, which was a pink group, rushing left and right in the infant fire, in pain, and wanted to escape.
Chu Xunyu asked indifferently: "Say, what's going on?" After that, his mind moved, the fire increased, and the demon girl couldn't bear the pain, and told the truth. It turned out that on that day, the demon girl escaped a trace of the primordial spirit, hated it to the bone, and had no choice but to destroy her body, so she had to find a way to regain it. But at this moment, she was injured by Chu Xunyu, and the Yuan Shen was also seriously injured, and she couldn't immediately force her body, so she had to find a hidden place to heal her injuries first, but the world is so big, there are righteous paths, demon paths, evil ways and goblins and other monks everywhere, and she can make her disappear at every turn, so she has to heal while wandering, but she secretly hides it, the speed is very slow, and it is about a year ago, and the injury has just healed. Well, naturally I want to rebuild it, and I just came to this Chenzhou City.
This snatching and snatching the body, it is necessary to find an unstable mind, a person with a scornful mind, in a room saw this lame old man, and the black palace lamp on his head, at a glance, you know that this black palace lamp is not ordinary, put it here must be wasted, the demon girl looked, this is an old man, although the body is broken, but the old man is weak, must be good, so he pounced, forcibly snatched the body.
Who knows that this old man is a veteran who retired from the first war in Chenzhou, this black lamp was picked up from the battlefield by him, because he was hit by the miserable old man, there was some damage, so the aura is not obvious, no wonder the people of Hongdaomen at that time could not find it, this old man cleaned the battlefield back then, saw this lamp, and knew that this was a relic of the fairy family, it must not be an ordinary product, so he hid it privately. Who wants to be bumped into by this demon girl today and forcibly take away her body.
After the demon girl possessed her body, she was proud, and she was about to take this black lamp to take a closer look, but who expected that the old man was worthy of being a soldier, although he was old, but his personality was resolute and his mind was clear, and he actually resisted the thoughts of this demon girl.
After all, the demon girl was born in the Tao, and after a few months, she finally refined the old man's thinking, that is, she already knew that Chu Xunyu was famous for her strength in the world, and she needed to use this lamp for revenge, so she was busy repairing this lamp, but this lamp was so weird, the ordinary repair method did not work, and it was necessary to absorb the essence of the living to be repaired, helplessly, in order to take revenge, the demon girl had to secretly look for mortals to start, and today she was bumped into by Chu Xunyu, but unfortunately Chu Xunyu compared to that year, the magic power has become a lot, and she was subdued as soon as she was combined.
Chu Xunyu was quite disappointed when he heard this, and said, "Do you know the origin of this black light and other reasons?" The demon girl replied slyly: "Naturally, I know some, but you must tell the reason for asking this, otherwise I will destroy the original god, and you will not get anything." β
Actually forced to die, Chu Xunyu frowned, but in order to know the answer, he still slowed down, and said indifferently: "It has a great relationship with Xiao Xiao's death." β
When the demon girl heard it, she couldn't help but be stunned, Chu Xunyu was famous all over the world back then, and later the murder of his wife and apostasy was even more popular, she also heard some rumors, but she didn't expect to say this, thinking of this, the demon girl flashed a trace of determination, and said fiercely: "Siyi, back then, you destroyed my body and ruined my cultivation, today, you actually have to ask me? Hmph, the old lady is not as good as you want, you will live with the regret of killing your wife for the rest of your life" After that, the demon girl actually cut off the original god and dissipated herself between heaven and earth.
Chu Xunyu was stunned, but it was too late, watching her self-destruct, her face was gloomy, and her anger rose. After looking at the lamp not far from the ground, he walked over to check one or two, and suddenly, the demonic energy of this lamp surged, and Chu Xunyu saw that the triangular eyes depicted on it seemed to come to life, staring at his eyes.
Chu Xunyu was shocked at this moment, and suddenly had a premonition that this thing was left unknown, and it would become a disaster, and immediately the long sword was unsheathed, the aura surged, and the long sword was extremely sharp, and in an instant, the sword qi rushed straight into the sky, and the black palace lamp was slashed with a sword, and only a "ding" sound was heard.
Chu Xunyu was shocked and had a splitting headache, and threw down the long sword in pain, suddenly, the image in his brain flashed, and when he came back to his senses, he suddenly found himself standing in Yingtian City in the past, the same picture, the same scene, Chu Xunyu This must be the masterpiece of the black palace lamp, there was an illusion, so he wanted to get rid of it, but he couldn't succeed.
watched the sad scenes of his year repeated, but he couldn't do anything. I saw that on the opposite side of the market appeared I and my lover Xiao Xiao came head-on, Xiao Xiao is the child of a large family in the south of the Yangtze River, he loved to read since he was a child, and later met with Chu Xunyu, he fell in love at first sight, after the sword of the Yuxu Palace in Kunlun Mountain, he became famous all over the world, and then got the consent of his parents, and he was married to Chu Xunyu, Xiao Xiao's meridians were weak and could not be cultivated, Chu Xunyu used the secret medicine of the palace to wash her marrow and cut the veins, but the results were not good, Xiao Xiao smiled and didn't care, but he loved his own collection of books, and often read them at night, and had his own unique views on the cultivation of the true exercises and the secret news of the cultivation of the truth, and the husband and wife were very warmγ
Then, the picture flashed, turned into a war broke out, Chu Xunyu in the name of the teacher, joined Zhu Yuanzhang's camp, fought for the Ming army, before and after a few years, with Xu Da's troops in the south and the north, the west expedition Chen Youliang, the northern expedition Zhang Shicheng, made immortal achievements, and his reputation was greatly enhanced. In the first year of Hongwu, on the second day of the eighth month, Xu Da led the army to fight in Kyoto, won the capital in one fell swoop, pursued by victory, Kezhending, Huaiqing, and won every victory.
It turned out that Xiao Xiao suddenly came to the door where Zhu Yuanzhang lived at that time, and asked to see Zhu Yuanzhang, saying that there was a major report, and the guards looked at it, it turned out to be the wife of Si Yi Xianchang, and they didn't dare to slack off, so they immediately reported it, Zhu Yuanzhang was discussing with Liu Bowen at this time, and when he heard that someone was visiting, he didn't care about it after asking for a clear identity, so he invited him in to see it. Who wants to meet After meeting, Xiao Xiao suddenly burst out and hurt people, and the demonic energy all over his body surged, stabbing Zhu Yuanzhang in the chest, only one step away. Suddenly, the elders of the Longhu Mountain, Shangqing Sect, Maoshan Mountain, Shushan, Huayan Sect and other major sects who were ambushed in the main hall were instantly subdued and the assassination failed.
It turned out that Liu Bowen had the talent to go through the heavens and the earth, as early as a few days ago, he calculated that Zhu Yuanzhang had touched the life and death calamity, and invited the masters of various factions to come to prevent it as soon as possible.
And Zhu Yuanzhang saw that it was Siyi's wife, and he also felt incredible, and then he was furious, and immediately asked the elders of various sects and factions to take him into custody and interrogate the details, Chu Xunyu, who was far away on the front line, heard the news, and was immediately shocked, his wife's meridians were weak, and the ancient secret medicine could not turn things around, how could he use the Demon Gate Exercises? But now I can't care so much, hurriedly returned with the sword, rushed to Yingtian City, as soon as I entered the city, I was caught by various sects and factions, waiting for interrogation, in the prison, seeing Xiao Xiao who was sealed with the exercises, Chu Xunyu almost couldn't believe his eyes, is this still his gentle and virtuous wife? The demonic qi of the whole body is surging, and it is clear that she is a demon elder.
Then it was successfully concluded that Zhu Yuanzhang would join forces with the major elders to interrogate, and Chu Xunyu insisted that he did not believe that his wife could do such a disorderly thing. Suddenly, a great force fell from the sky, lifted the roof of the prison, and saw a black-robed man standing in the air, silently looking down, a body of aura fluctuations, at a glance, he knew that it was the Demon Dao Grandmaster, the elders of the various sects were shocked, and immediately rose into the air to surround him, but the man in black didn't care, and said in a voice that was neither male nor female: "Yo, Xiao Siyi, you haven't killed this Zhu family kid with Xiao Xiao yet." β
Zhu Yuanzhang was furious and took the case: "What are you, I should obey the mandate of heaven, obey the hearts of all the people, unify the world, and sweep away the universe, you demon actually dare to go against the sky?"
Chu Xunyu also woke up on the spot, but his body was stopped by the elders and he couldn't move, so his eyes were bloodshot, and he roared loudly in anger: "Thief, I don't know you, why are you spewing blood? Now that Xiao Xiao is in such a situation, he was killed by you? I will take your life and take revenge." β
The man in black laughed weirdly and said in a rough voice: "Xiao Siyi, my beloved wife Xiao Xiao is voluntary, and she begged me to save your life, and I will save you if you lose." β
Chu Xunyu was bleeding on the spot in his mouth, stared at the man in black word by word and asked, "What did you say?"
"Quack," the man in black laughed, "you have such a bad memory, see for yourself." In the image, it is the scene of the black-clothed man and Xiao Xiao falling in love with each other, holding hands with each other, walking beside the West Lake, a picture of a concubine.
Suddenly, everyone in the audience was shocked, even Chu Xunyu himself was stunned, silent for a long time, for a long time, Chu Xunyu spit out a mouthful of black blood with a "wow", it turned out that the demons in his heart were surging, hurting his heart, at this moment Chu Xunyu didn't want to explain anything anymore, and now reversed the exercises, desperately didn't want his life, controlled the three-foot long sword, broke the ban, rose like the air, and wanted to fight with the man in black. Who knew that the man in black had a strange smile, and with a wave of his long sleeves, the prohibition on Xiao Xiao's body was instantly resolved, and he flew all the way west with her, and the speed was so fast that the elders of all factions reacted extremely hard.
Chu Xunyu was willing to give up, and chased all the way, a few days later, in the evening, suddenly the figure in front of him flashed, Xiao Xiao's demonic energy was not there, and he fell in a straight line, Chu Xunyu hugged Xiao Xiao in mid-air, looking at the retreat of the man in black, but in the end he still didn't catch up. At this time, Xiao Xiao had already regained consciousness, and the two of them fell on the top of the mountain, and the righteous path people then arrived, it turned out that they happened to land on the Jade Pearl Peak of Kunlun Mountain, Chu Xunyu hurriedly asked: "Xiao Xiao, are you okay, what is going on, it was controlled by the people in the Demon Dao, and it was a last resort, right? β
Xiao Xiao was silent, for a long time, raised his head, smiled, and said: "No, I am sober, voluntary, Xianggong, it was true in the image just now, I can't help you." β
"What? Then, ...... the scene in the picture just now" Chu Xunyu's eyes widened, thinking that he had misheard.
"It's true, I'm sorry I've been hiding it from you for so long. Xiao Xiao said lonely.
Chu Xunyu was like five thunderbolts, with a shocked look on his face, and said, "Impossible, impossible." β
Slowly stood up, held the long sword, and said word by word: "I, since we met, have I been sorry for you?"
"Nope. Xiao Xiao replied calmly.
"Okay, I'm asking you, do I have a place to bully you and mistreat you?" Chu Xunyu asked through gritted teeth.
"No, you treat me very well. Xiao Xiao replied again.
"Good, good, good, good. Chu Xunyu was heartbroken, and pulled out his long sword, "I want me to treat you sincerely, but you act like this, okay......" After saying that, a trace of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth.
Xiao Xiao stood up calmly and said to the seniors present: "It's that my Demon Sect Xiao Yu wants to assassinate Zhu Yuanzhang, the son of the Great Tomorrow, and dare to do something that no one in the world dares to do." β
As soon as the words came out, the whole house was shocked. After that, he said to Chu Xunyu: "Xianggong, see you in the next life." β
After saying that, he took the initiative to meet the sword, pierced the abdomen with a sword, and fell into Chu Xunyu's arms, Chu Xunyu was already like five thunderbolts at the moment, and his mind was blank. Just holding Xiao Xiao and slowly slipping, Xiao Xiao said intermittently in Chu Xunyu's ear: "I'm sorry...... Messire...... It wasn't Xiao Xiao's voluntary ...... It's really helpless...... It's all the black palace lamp...... The black palace lamp ......" said that, and died with tears in his eyes.
On the top of Kunlun Mountain, on the Jade Pearl Peak, Chu Xunyu put down Xiao Xiao's corpse, calmly raised the sword in his hand, his eyes left blood and tears, one sword pointed to the sky, the other pointed to the ground, and made a demon oath in the direction where the man in black was leaving: "I, Siyi, swear to the sky, but if I live for one day, I will take your life, the ends of the earth, never die, never forget." "With that, break the sword and make this eternal promise.
In the next few days, the Central Plains Daomen was shocked, Si Yi was really the remnants of the Demon Dao, and his wife was willing to be the head of the people in the Demon Gate, and the rumors of unbearable things resounded all over the world, and he wanted to assassinate the Son of Heaven against the sky, which was despised by the people of the world. Zhu Yuanzhang asked the Central Plains Daomen to behead Chu Xunyu, but the people from the family's Chinese medicine palace came forward and did not agree, and later Xu Da led the soldiers to ask for his life, and Zhu Yuanzhang took back his life. The death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped, Chu Xunyu was abolished and cultivated, and he was sent to the two poles, from a generation of tomorrow's hope stars to a despicable person referred to by Qianfu.
The land of the two poles is the most dangerous place in the world, and there is basically no return, which is equivalent to sentencing Chu Xunyu to death in disguise.
Then, because of the matter of asking for life, Xu Da offended Zhu Yuanzhang, so after the world was settled, Zhu Yuanzhang held a grudge, so he found an excuse and killed a generation of founding fathers Xu Da, which is the story of "Taizu gave a goose to kill Xu Da" in later generations. Of course, that's another story.
Looking at the front of him, seeing this, Chu Xunyu had a splitting headache, his aura was unstable, and the demon in his heart came again, seeing that he was about to go mad, he sang: "The Tao is the way, the very way." Coming from afar, this sentence is the first sentence of the opening chapter of the Tao Te Ching, which contains supreme wisdom and great truth.
At this moment, Chu Xunyu heard this, as if he had been empowered, his mood was ethereal, his inner demons gradually stabilized, and a soft aura poured into his back to help him regulate his meridians.
After a long time, Chu Xunyu opened his eyes and found that there was a person standing in front of him, his face was like the moon, and his eyes were like stars......
It is said that the fate of the calamity, the way of heaven is ruthless, and there is no delusion of disasters and merits.
The willows and flowers are bright, perseverance, and after all, the way of heaven is clear.
