121 Back to the mountain
(Intermittently, several years have passed, every time I think of this book, I think of the bold words in front of the Taoist friends, and the regret in the heart of the Buddha is like a knife.) At this time, the state of mind was completely different from before, so I revised the book again, and it was the third time that the book was overhauled.
If there are still Taoist friends who dare to be interested in this book, you can start reading again, there are a lot of hundreds of thousands of words in front of you, and it can probably be regarded as another new book!
This book always has to be written, not for anything else, but just an obsession in my heart. )
..................
Li Yi escorted Su Mei to Qingqiu Mountain in the East China Sea, and when she returned to Yunshan, it had been two years, standing at the foot of Yunshan, looking at the clouds and mist on the high mountain again, Li Yi's heart was full of homecoming warmth. But I feel that this trip is like a dream, and the pain and sorrow during the period seem to be far away, but it is reflected in my mind very clearly.
Approaching the mountain gate, Li Yi let out a long howl, and the howling sound echoed in the mountains for a long time, and a small figure in the distance ran straight out of the mountain gate and bowed to Li Yi: "Disciple Su Ze has seen the master." "It was Su Ze, a registered disciple that Li Yi accepted in the Nanyue Hengshan Inn.
Li Yi accepted Su Ze's big gift, and after helping Su Ze up, he stroked Su Ze's little head and said with a smile: "Ze'er has grown a lot taller, and it seems that the food on Yunshan is not bad." ”
At this time, the old man came out with Lei Ji and the iron-winged Dapeng together, and saluted Li Yi together.
It turned out that after Li Yi and the others left Nanyue Hengshan, Su Fatzi, the shopkeeper of Nanyue Inn, knew that his physical limit was approaching. So Su Ze was sent to Yunshan, at this time Guo Bushou was still in retreat, and Su Ze was taken care of by the old man.
After Lei Ji and the Iron-Winged Roc recovered from their injuries. is also back to Yunshan, the two and the old cangtou are the same demon clan, and they have received a lot of guidance from the old cangtou, and the cultivation is quite fast, and it will not be long before they can cross the catastrophe and transform themselves.
Hearing that his master Guo Bushou was still in retreat, Li Yi was worried but had nothing to do, so he had to wait patiently.
For two years. Li Yi has experienced several battles, and even almost lost his life several times. At the same time, Li Yi's cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds, and of course, Li Yi's understanding of cultivation has also gone up a few steps.
Just take this opportunity to reflect and summarize well.
The following days passed like this, plain and unpretentious. Li Yiyi, like the years he had spent on Yunshan before, was lonely and lonely in his cultivation.
The difference is that in the past, it was the master Guo Bushou who guided Li Yi's cultivation in his spare time, but now, it is Li Yi who guides his disciple Su Ze in his spare time.
With a flick of the fingers, the flowers bloom, the clouds roll up, and the three years are just a few cycles of spring and autumn. Li Yi gradually faded away from the youthful aura when he first traveled the rivers and lakes, and became a little more calm and atmospheric.
And Li Yi's cultivation has also advanced by leaps and bounds, and the Ninefold Cloud Dream has been cultivated by Li Yi to the sixth level of White Cloud Flying Alone. The fourth thunder recipe of the Taixiao Divine Thunder was also cultivated by Li Yi to a great extent, but the fifth thunder recipe of the Taixiao Divine Thunder was too profound, and there was no guidance from his master Guo Bushou. Although Li Yi has been cultivating for a long time, he still can't enter the law.
Other good treasures such as Tianxia Qin, Xuanshui Shenmu Erzhu, Measuring Ruler, etc., Li Yi is also handy to use.
In the past three years, Su Ze has made great progress in addition to the ancestral Seven Techniques of the Yin Fu of the Closed Vertical Gate and the Heavenly Eye. Li Yi also taught Su Ze the multiple equations of mathematical arts, and Su Ze was already talented. It can be said without hesitation that in today's land of China, if the level of mathematical arts is high, Su Ze, who is more than ten years old, is definitely the number one.
..................
On this day, when Li Yi was meditating in the Yunmeng Courtyard, there was a sudden roar from outside the courtyard, Li Yi raised his eyes, and saw Lei Ji and the Iron Winged Dapeng coming together.
After Li Yi returned from his travels, there was no need to recite the classics of Confucianism and Taoism on the Yin and Yang Stone every morning and dusk every morning, so Li Yi sent all the beasts to the old cangtou, and the old cangtou shouldered the responsibility of teaching the beasts on a daily basis.
Lei Ji and the iron-winged Dapeng walked straight to Li Yi, one fluttering their wings and the other hugging each other, bowing down to Li Yi.
Li Yi was greatly surprised, and hurriedly stepped forward to help the two up, and saw that the spiritual power on Lei Ji and the Iron Winged Dapeng was surging, surging as if they were about to break out of their bodies, and they suddenly realized.
Li Yidao: "You are waiting for the transformation to be imminent, so you are here to say goodbye to the small road?"
Lei Yu and Iron-Winged Dapeng each nodded, there was not much joy in their eyes, more of Li Yi's reluctance and worry about the Heavenly Tribulation.
Li Yi looked at the simple and sincere eyes of Lei Ji and the iron-winged Dapeng, and remembered the incident of sending Su Mei to Qingqiu Mountain in the East China Sea three years ago, and suddenly looked up at the sky, and let out a long helpless sigh in his soul.
In this life, in the end, you can't avoid this experience.
Skynet is magnificent, negligent but not leaky. Everything in the world has its "Tao" to follow, and the true meaning of "Tao" is the endless cycle of reincarnation, and whoever wants to get rid of this "reincarnation" is to go against the sky, and he will be punished by heaven.
Whether it is grievances and hatreds, love and hatred, or infatuation, they are all karma of reincarnation, cause and effect, and they will all disappear in those few heavenly tribulations. The difference is that if the tribulation succeeds, the cause and effect disappear, and if the tribulation fails, the life and even all the qi qi qi disappear.
Li Yi sighed for a moment, relieved the two and said: "You have been on the Yunshan Mountain for a long time, you are not involved in cause and effect in the red dust, and you are influenced by the authentic Taoist immortal method of the Yunshan Sect, if you want to come to the heavenly calamity, you can spend it safely." ”
Having said that, Li Yi is not absolutely sure, Li Yi has heard Su Mei say, if the three worlds of the underworld are separated today, the human race is the protagonist of the earthly realm, and they can enjoy the luck of the earthly realm, under this premise, the probability of rare birds and beasts with ancient bloodlines wanting to survive the catastrophe is greatly reduced compared to before the ancient Shang and Zhou Fengshen War.
Otherwise, with the strength possessed by the above-mentioned ancient bloodline, once the tribulation transformation is successful, how many cultivators in the world can deal with it?
..................
The green mountains are still the same, the green water is still the same, and the waterfall on the water of the blue wave pool is still flying down from the top of the mountain, and the roar is splashing in all directions. It rises everywhere, as if it is changing all the time, as if it has not changed for hundreds of millions of years.
Li Yi stands among the peaks on the blue wave pool. Looking at the familiar scenery in front of me, in the hunting mountain wind, the clothes are fluttering, and the thoughts are fluttering...... There is a sense that things are not people.
After all, Li Yi was still relieved that Lei Ji and the Iron-winged Dapeng followed the two of them and came to Bibo Pond, the place where the two of them had chosen to spend the tribulation, which was the place where Guo Bushou Li Yi's master and apprentice met the nine-tailed fox Su Mei three years ago.
The old man followed. Standing with Li Yi and explaining some things related to the tribulation with Li Yi. The old man has already succeeded in surviving the tribulation, and he knows everything about the tribulation.
The Heavenly Tribulation is the causal end of each cultivator's own calamity, and others cannot survive the calamity on their behalf, but Lei Ji and the Iron Winged Dapeng have recognized Li Yi as the master. Li Yi can help the two of them to a limited extent. However, this kind of help is also a double-edged sword: the more Li Yi helps, the greater the cause and effect involved, one is not conducive to Li Yi's future practice, and the other may lead to the incompleteness of the tribulation between Lei Yi and the Iron Winged Dapeng, and it will not achieve the effect of transformation, and even need to be re-tribulated.
In the center of Bibo Pond stood two stones three feet square, and Lei Ji and Iron-winged Dapeng stood on one stone, which were independent of each other and could support each other.
It's noon. The sun shines down from the sky and is reflected in the mist rising above the blue pool, creating a colorful light. It is also illusory, as hazy as a fairyland.
At this time, the yang energy is the strongest, the demon energy is the weakest, and the heavenly calamity will come as scheduled.
Suddenly, a thunderclap sounded in the sky. The sun faded, and the whole world dimmed. It was gloomy and very depressing, only the rumbling sound of the waterfall hitting the pool water, "dong dong" seemed to hit the hearts of Lei Ji and the iron-winged Dapeng, so that the blood in the hearts of the two of them was about to burst out.
Lei Ji and the Iron-Winged Roc glanced at each other, both with solemn faces, looking at the sky and guarding each other.
The darkness in the sky quickly dissipated, and dozens of suns were lit up above the blue wave pool as if in an instant, shining a transparent white light above the entire blue wave pool, shaking the eyes of Lei Ji and the Iron Winged Dapeng couldn't open their eyes.
Before Lei Ji and the Iron Winged Dapeng came back to their senses, the white light turned into thousands of sharp swords, shooting straight down towards Lei Ji and the Iron Winged Dapeng, and they were about to pierce the two of them into a thousand holes.
After thousands of years of penance, it is finally going to be tested at this moment.
Lei Ji and the Iron Winged Dapeng looked up to the sky and roared, and in the shouting, the two of them shook violently, and the Iron Winged Dapeng flapped his wings, and the feathers were like iron, and the light around Lei Dapeng flashed, showing armor-like lines.
The first golden tribulation of the Heavenly Tribulation, Lei Ji and the Iron-winged Dapeng relied on their rough skin and thick flesh, and they actually wanted to resist hard.
There are nine layers of heavenly tribulation, which are metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, chaos, and heart. The Heavenly Dao does not send down nine heavenly tribulations on every Tribulation, but it depends on the actual situation.
For example, ordinary monsters, generally come to the most basic gold, wood, water, fire, and earth five elements of the tribulation, the slightly more powerful, plus the wind and thunder two yin and yang tribulations, and like Lei and Ironwing, those with ancient bloodlines, need to go through the Chaos Tribulation.
The first eight Heavenly Tribulations are refining the body, and as for the last Heart Tribulation, it is the refining of the gods, which is generally aimed at the cultivators of the human race, or for those who have transformed into monsters and advanced to a higher level, before the Heavenly Dao will descend.
The heart tribulation is more about the persistence of the cultivator's own willpower, and if the cultivator really achieves the legendary admiration worthy of his heart in his lifelong cultivation, so that the heart demon has no chance to take advantage of it, it will be fine.
Of course, how many people in the world can reach this state?
There is no essential difference in the power of the five tribulations of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth before the tribulation, but according to the principle of the five elements of mutual reciprocity and mutual restraint, the tribulator will always be restrained by one of the heavenly tribulations, and the tribulator is always planted on the one that restrains his own attributes or cultivation attributes.
The sound of "snort" was endless, mixed with the muffled hum of Lei and the Iron Winged Dapeng, and the Lei and the Iron Winged Dapeng were like being beaten by the rain, crumbling, and a cloud of mist rose above their heads......
At this moment, there was another thunderclap in the sky, followed by a qiē and the original clouds and light winds, the heavenly tribulation really came and went quickly, and the first golden tribulation had already landed.
Lei Yu and the Iron-Winged Dapeng were beaten to pieces, their heads were scattered, and the two of them were cut by the sword, and their flesh was cracked, and the blood flowed, which was really miserable.
Lei Ji and Ironwinged Dapeng didn't care about the wounds on their bodies, and hurriedly took advantage of the short gap between the two Heavenly Tribulations to sit down and regulate their breath.
Li Yi, who was quietly watching the battle at the top of the mountain, saw this situation. I couldn't help but gasp, it was just the first gold tribulation, and the power was already as strong as this. So what should the Eighth Chaos Tribulation look like?
The old man on the side was expressionless, as if he hadn't seen it.
However, Li Yi also knew that with the physical toughness and cultivation state of Lei Ji and the Iron Winged Dapeng, there was no problem in surviving the first five elements of the Heavenly Tribulation.
Sure enough, in the next four heavenly tribulations of wood, water, fire, and earth, Lei Ji and Iron-winged Dapeng both survived without danger, but when they survived the fire tribulation. Because it restrained the metallicness of the iron-winged roc, although it was supported by the thunder attribute on the side. The two were still not lightly injured, and the guide zhì repaired greatly discounted.
The next three tribulations are the wind, thunder, and chaos tribulations, which are the key to the success or failure of the tribulation between Lei and the Iron Winged Roc.
Lei Ji and Ironwinged Roc were obviously aware of the situation, and both of them roared angrily. But seeing an iron feather fan flying out from under the wings of the iron-winged Dapeng, and a mixed yuan stick flying out from the top of Lei Ji's head, at the moment of crisis, the two of them had no reservations, and they both used their own natal magic weapons.
In addition to the ninth level of the heart tribulation, which is formless and unpredictable, the first eightfold heavenly tribulation is dignified and upright, and it is bright and fair, before the tribulation comes every day. Always be the first to thunder in the sky, reminding people to rob people and think of heaven. How could a sneak attack be carried out?
With a thunderclap, the wind swept up from the ground, and a samadhi divine wind, like a dragon standing upright between heaven and earth, roared and descended from the sky, in an instant. The sky above the blue wave pool turned into a swirling and furious ocean, endless. This moment. There is no sky, no earth, and the wind is raging everywhere, biting and suffocating all living things.
It was Li Yi, who was far away on the top of the mountain, and his heart was trembling for no reason at this moment, and his courage was cold from the depths of his soul.
Lei Ji and Iron-Winged Dapeng's faces changed greatly, the two roared and cheered each other on, the Iron Feather Fan in Iron-Winged Dapeng's hand waved again and again, and a fierce wind whistled out, heading towards the Wind Tribulation, Lei Ji smashed the Mixed Yuan Stick like lightning, as if he wanted to smash another world above him, so that he and Iron-Winged Dapeng could hide in it.
However, the bodies of Lei Ji and the Iron Winged Dapeng, which usually looked like mountains, seemed so small in the face of the boundless wind at this moment, and the power of the Heavenly Dao could not be shaken by human power?
Although the samadhi kamikaze was blocked by Lei Ji and the Iron Winged Dapeng for a moment, it tied up the bodies of the Lei and the Iron Winged Dapeng without any resistance at the next moment, and the two of them were like two grains of yellow sand, rising and falling in the Samadhi kamikaze, and the kamikaze wrapped the two of them, smashing everywhere, and in the wailing of the two, they only smashed the ground and shook the mountains, making a "bang" sound everywhere, leaving red blood stains all the way.
Li Yi only saw that his scalp was numb, and he was covered in cold sweat......
I don't know how long it took for the storm to finally subside.
The valley was in a mess, the blue wave pool was almost filled by the rocks and trees, criss-crossed, Lei Ji and the iron-winged Dapeng were lying quietly on the rocks, dying and almost unable to move.
..................
Li Yi felt a lot of pain in his heart, and finally couldn't hold it back, so he wanted to fly out, but he was pulled by the old man next to him and said: "Don't worry, young master, he and the other two can still support it." ”
Li Yi had no choice but to stop his body, his face was still tense, and he said worriedly: "The Wind Tribulation is already like this, even if the two of them can survive the next Thunder Tribulation, what about the last Chaos Tribulation?"
In the past, the great god of Pangu opened the world in chaos, and chaos derived the two qi of yin and yang, and the two qi of yin and yang each transformed into the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, and the five elements converged to derive all things in the world.
The Heavenly Tribulation process is just the opposite, in the eightfold Heavenly Tribulation of refining the body, first the Five Elements Heavenly Tribulation, then the Yin and Yang Wind and Thunder Heavenly Tribulation, and finally the Yin and Yang are combined, which is the ultimate and most powerful Chaos Heavenly Tribulation.
In the cultivation realm, there is a saying that the greater the power of the Heavenly Tribulation, the higher the qualifications of those who succeed in the Tribulation, and the greater the potential for cultivation, the problem is that ordinary Heavenly Tribulations are difficult to survive, let alone the power enhancement version.
No matter how big a pie is drawn for the future, you have to have a life to eat, right?
"Old man, I didn't expect that the power of this Heavenly Tribulation would be so great, if this tribulation was successful, the cultivation potential of Lei Ji and Iron-Winged Dapeng would be able to catch up with those big demons in the Great Wilderness of Western Xinjiang (Xiniu Hezhou) more than a thousand years ago. The old man sighed:
"Now I can only take one step, count one step, it's really not good, in the final Chaos Tribulation, the young master will help again. ”
Li Yi calculated the time in his heart and said in surprise: "What the old cangtou said refers to the big demons that Master Xuanzang of Tang Dynasty met along the way during the Tang Dynasty in the past?"
"The young master is very knowledgeable, and he calculates without being bad at all. The old man nodded, with a look of remembrance: "Hehe, I think that the demons of the Western Wilderness were under the leadership of the Pingtian Great Sage Bull Demon King, how beautiful they were, and the Jade Emperor, the lord of the Three Realms, had to walk around when they met, but it's a pity, it's a pity, the good times don't last long." No matter how strong the mana is, it can't withstand the intrigues and tricks of this world. ”
During the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, Master Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty was entrusted by Li Shimin, the Son of Heaven, to go to the West Heaven to obtain the true scriptures to enlighten the world. During the journey to the west, Master Xuanzang successively received the Monkey King, the Marshal of Tianpeng Zhu Bajie, and the general Sha Wujing as apprentices, and the third prince of the Dragon King of the West Sea as a mount.
Li Yi also knew about this matter, but Li Yi regarded it as a legend, just as a talking point before and after tea, and did not delve into the twists and turns.
At this moment, he overheard the words of the old cangtou, as if the old cangtou was a first-hand witness of the Journey to the West, Li Yi was suddenly surprised, and said: "Old cangtou, it turns out that you are a senior demon from the Great Wilderness of Western Xinjiang?"
If you use the sun to describe the army of the demon clan under the leadership of the demon emperor Jun and the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, then the demons entrenched in the great wilderness of Western Xinjiang are a return to the light of the demon clan. (To be continued)
