XXIX Antecedents and consequences II
Xiao Bei tied the evil sword to his belt and looked up at Li Daoyi, only to see that his eyes were closed, he was not breathing, and he had obviously passed away peacefully. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"This evil sword can destroy the true spirit of the corpse worm, but Li Daoyi is already a dying person, and he can't live without the corpse worm. But...... It was a relief for him. Xiao Bei thought to himself.
He surpassed Li Daoyi with the power of the evil sword, felt a little tired, and closed his eyes for a while. When his energy recovered, he immediately put the evil sword against his forehead and said silently: "The sword roars and shakes the soul." ”
The Evil Slashing Sword once again let out an earth-shattering roar, like a tsunami, engulfing Xiao Bei.
Xiao Bei came to a field where peach blossoms were in full bloom.
A young man with two horns stood in front of him. It was the sword spirit that helped Xiao Bei train into a yin and yang thunderbolt before.
"Why are you here?" the sword spirit looked surprised.
"I'll behead three corpses. Xiao Bei said expressionlessly.
The sword spirit stared at Xiao Yi in silence, and after a while, he shook his head and said, "Forgive me for not being able to do anything." ”
Xiao Bei hurriedly said: "How can you be powerless? You said that the sound of the sword roar can shake the soul, and it is the best at expelling the fog of the three corpses outside the true spirit......"
"No, you've experienced a sword roar several times before, and the fog outside the true spirit has long since disappeared. I can't banish something that doesn't exist. The sword spirit interrupted Xiao Bei's questioning.
"True Spirit Mist...... Gone?" Xiao was stunned, but then asked, "But I still have feelings in my heart, and I throb every time I think about it...... What is the reason for that?"
"Your thoughts have become one with the true spirit. The sword spirit said in a deep voice, "Your immortal body is formed by the harmony of yin and yang, and the reason why yin and yang are first harmonized is driven by emotions. With the completion of the immortal body, the true spirit is also becoming more and more powerful through the affection, it can be said that 'love' is the root of your immortal body, and it is also a part of your true spirit, with the power of my current sword, I cannot expel the affection in your true spirit. ”
"That'...... What should I do?" Xiao Bei was stunned for a moment.
"Are you really desperate to get rid of your feelings?" the sword spirit suddenly asked.
"Really, do you have a way?" Xiao Bei heard this, as if he had seen a life-saving straw.
"I have a way to do it, which may be a bit of a hassle, but if you insist on it, you can give it a try. The Sword Spirit was silent for a moment and said, "This method is called True Spirit Splitting. ”
"The True Spirit is Divided...... Does it mean that Hongyan's true spirit is split?" Xiao Bei mentioned Hongyan's name, and his heart couldn't help but ache, as if the scar that had just grown was cracked again.
“...... It's pretty much the same, but Hongyan has the Senluo Dharma Phase, and the true spirits can be split at will, and all the true spirits have the same thoughts, and there is no difference, even if you practice it now, it will not help. Sword Spirit said.
Then an evil sword appeared in his hand, touched the body of the sword, and continued: "The true spirit splitting is different, it is to use the power of the evil sword sword to forcibly cut the true spirit and divide it into several parts, each of which retains its independent consciousness and memory. In this way, you can seal the memories you don't want in the rest of the true spirits, and expel them from the spiritual sense, so as to get rid of distracting thoughts and hold the one. ”
Xiao Bei closed his eyes, thought quietly for a while, and said, "Then there will be several me, right?"
"Exactly. Sword Spirit nodded.
"Well, tell me what to do. Xiao Bei sighed and said.
"First of all, you have to find a suitable container for the divided true spirits, otherwise these true spirits will have nowhere to settle and will naturally return to your spiritual consciousness. "Sword Spirit Dao," and the container can be a human body or an instrument. The human body is the best, if you want to use the instrument as a container, the instrument must have a strong connection with yourself, otherwise the true spirit will soon leave and return to the original body. ”
Xiao Bei pondered for a while, and suddenly said categorically: "Okay, Brother Sword Spirit, just follow what you say." ”
The sword spirit stared at Xiao Bei, as if he was thinking about something. After a long time, he let out a long sigh and said, "Since this is destined to happen, then I will help you, maybe in this way, things will become more interesting." With that, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
After that, Xiao Jie came out of the sword spirit space, and according to the guidance of the evil sword, he went all the way from Beijing to the southwest and went to Sichuan.
On the way, the thoughts of his true soul still flare up from time to time, which makes him very disturbed. In order to find sustenance, he began to practice the martial arts method passed on to him by Li Daoyi, which is strange to say, this mental method is natural, purifying the mind and removing thoughts, once practiced, it can actually suppress the churning thoughts in his heart like boiling water. As a result, Xiao Bei's cultivation became more and more diligent, and when he arrived, he was in a hurry, still using the power of yin and yang to use the heart method.
This martial arts is profound and mysterious, and it can't be practiced overnight, but once he comes, the immortal body has been completed, and it is secretly in line with the way of heaven. Second, he has learned the Nangong swordsmanship, the golden wind and cold jade skills, and the Northern Darkness Transformation Yan Gong, which has a lot of references. Third, he is entangled in his feelings and regards it as a good medicine, and there is no shortage of it. Therefore, in the half-month journey, he has mastered the martial arts method and used it freely, except for the flying sword technique, he can almost go hand in hand with Li Daoyi.
After a few more days, Xiao Bei came to the Sichuan Sword Pavilion and stopped in front of a cave that was not good-looking.
Xiao Bei only felt that this hole was unremarkable, and was wondering to himself, and the sword spirit suddenly said: "This hole is three zhang inside, and the east wall is a boulder, and there are two shallow handprints on the boulder. ”
Xiao Bei did as he said, and sure enough, the boulder slammed back and retreated, revealing a slit, and a dark tunnel appeared in front of Xiao Bei's eyes.
Xiao Bei carefully investigated, and found that the yin qi in this cave was compelling, and it was extremely paradoxical, so he couldn't help but ask: "Brother Sword Spirit, what is the name here?"
The sword spirit smiled: "This is the ruins of the Sword Xiao Palace, if you talk about the age, I am afraid that it is still in front of the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor." ”
Xiao Jie was shocked when he heard this, and said, "How is the Sword Xiao Palace everywhere?
The sword spirit shook his head and said, "The Sword Xiao Palace has existed in the world since the beginning of the world, but it did not have an official name before Zhou Gongdan cast the sword. As far as I know, there are three ruins, and the rest are still scattered all over the world, and their whereabouts are no longer verifiable. ”
Xiao Bei was in awe, and after a long pause, he suddenly came to his senses and asked, "What is your purpose in bringing me here?"
Jian Ling said: "This place is called the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons, because there are some fragments left when the Sword Screaming Palace disappears, so it can attract the remnant souls of the whole world who cannot return to the sky, so that they can gather like this." Every night, these remnant souls return to the source of all things through the path to heaven here. Due to the large number of remnant souls, there are many remnant souls left every day, and the number of remnant souls here is immeasurable. Occasionally, when a traveler is unfortunate enough to enter the cave, some powerful souls will manifest phantoms and trick the traveler into destroying their true spirits with the faint power of the sword in the cave, making them soulless people, and then taking them away. ”
Xiao Yi frowned and said, "This boulder is so thick, how can ordinary people enter it?"
Jian Ling said: "There is an exit in this cave somewhere in the mountains, which is the way to return to the sky. ”
Xiao Bei still didn't know why, and asked, "Then what does this have to do with the true spirit split?"
Sword Spirit said: "Your true spirit is too powerful, and my sword can't divide it, so you have to use the power of the remnant soul here to form a soul-slaying blade to make the true spirit split." ”
Xiao Bei's heart was terrified, and he asked: "If one of them is not careful, my true spirit does not exist, won't I be taken away by the rest of the remnant souls?"
The sword spirit smiled evilly, "Then it depends on your creation." ”
Xiao Bei thought for a while, and then said, "What about the container?"
Sword Spirit said: "You can find a person who has committed the most heinous crime, I will use the power of the sword to destroy the true spirit of the person, and then you will cut the true spirit of you in it." ”
Xiao Bei was shocked and said, "Wouldn't that harm people's lives?"
The sword spirit smiled: "No, he will not die, but he will be ruthless and desireless, and after some of your true spirits are attached, he will gradually have your memories." ”
Xiao Jie reluctantly agreed to Sword Spirit's proposal, found a heinous death row prisoner named Tianniu in Chengdu, and robbed him out of prison. Then he destroyed his true spirit with the sound of the sword of the evil sword.
When everything was ready, the Evil Sword suddenly shouted, "Not good!"
Xiao Bei was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "What's wrong?"
The Evil Sword said: "I missed a calculation, your true spirit power is too strong, even if it is only half, ordinary people are still difficult to bear." Looks like we're going to have to find one more. ”
Xiao Bei looked at the demented-shaped Tianniu, shook his head and said, "No, this matter is too evil, but it can't be repeated." ”
"And you want to use the utensils?" asked the Sword Spirit in confusion.
"I don't know if it's okay to be a tomb puppet. Xiao Bei asked.
――――――――――――――――――――――
Xiao Bei came to the first lake in Guichou Gorge, bowed a few times in front of Nangong Xuanyuan's grave, and then dug up Nangong Xuanyuan's body.
Nangong Xuanyuan's face was still vivid, as if time had frozen in his body.
Jian Lingqi said: "It's really strange, this place is also a place where spirits gather, the yin qi is strong, and the corpse is not rotten." ”
Xiao Bei nodded and said, "I fell into the quagmire here at that time, and then the power of Yin Ice Sealing has increased, and now that I think about it, I am afraid that it is also caused by the condensation of Yin Qi here." ”
The sword spirit looked at Nangong Xuanyuan in confusion and asked, "You want to attach the true spirit to this corpse?"
Xiao Bei muttered: "This person has a lot of connections with me, and the swordsmanship I made was learned from him. ”
The sword spirit thought for a moment and said, "If you put this corpse in the cave of ten thousand demons, it would be okay to use the power of your true spirit to deter the demons. ”
Xiao Bei handled the corpse briefly, put Nangong Xuanyuan's body into the coffin, and made the yin and yang thunder, and his body was like a lightning flash, running north.
A day later, Xiao Bei came to Chengdu and sat in front of Lu Guanzhong.
Lu Guanzhong looked at Xiao Jie in surprise, and said in surprise: "Master, you finally figured it out, are you willing to escape from prison?"
Xiao Bei smiled bitterly and said, "I was forced to be helpless as a teacher, so I had to become a fugitive." ”
Lu Guanzhong waved his hand and said, "Master, you don't have to worry about this, according to Chongzhen's holy decree, you have been abandoned by Ling Chi, and there is no one in this world." ”
Xiao Bei thought about it for a while, knowing that it must be Hongyan who was making trouble, he felt a pain in his heart, hurriedly collected his thoughts, threw away his distracting thoughts, and pretended to be calm: "Guan Zhong, I came here for the teacher this time to entrust you to make a tomb puppet. ”
Lu Guan Zhong said with a smile: "Since it is entrusted by the master, Guan Zhong should obey his fate, but bartering is the rule of the Lu family, and I ask the master to promise me one thing." ”
Xiao Bei asked, "What's the matter?"
Lu Guanzhong said with a smile: "My master has not yet arrived on the day of my wedding, and today you will definitely get drunk with me." ”
Xiao Yi smiled and said, "A word is a certainty." ”
Three days later, Xiao Bei tied the body of Nangong Xuanyuan, took the heavenly bull, and killed himself in the cave of ten thousand demons.
He opened the way with the power of the evil sword and sword, and the remnant soul did not dare to reach him, and along the way, he beheaded countless human forms that were taken away by the remnant soul, and soon came to the place where the road to heaven was.
When he got the son, when the true spirit vortex gradually formed, the sword spirit spoke: "Xiao Bei, these two people are the containers of your true spirit, and they will guard this cave of ten thousand demons in the future to keep one side safe, you have the right to name the two of them, do you have any plans?"
Xiao Bei thought for a while and said with a smile: "Brother Nangong's name is still the same! I will give him all the memories and martial arts before he practiced Yin Yang Lei Qian, and with his swordsmanship, this evil sword will be kept by him." ”
Then he looked at the demented Tianniu, his heart moved, and said: "Brother Tianniu, I erased your true spirit for my own selfishness, and I really can't live with you, but your sins are extremely evil, and I hope you will reform from now on and make amends." I will give you all the martial arts and memories after practicing the Yin and Yang Thunder, and you can open a wine shop outside this cave and live in peace. ”
After that, he thought about it and said, "From now on, you will be called Liu Panfeng." ”
Seeing that there were more and more remnant souls in the true spirit whirlpool, the sword spirit suddenly let out a clear roar, and a black blade formed in his hand, and said: "Xiao Cheap, in a short time, you will have nothing to do with the first half of your life, what else do you want to say?"
Xiao Bei closed his eyes, and all the people and things he had experienced since his birth flashed in front of him, including Hong Yan and Liu Minshi, but at this time, he was no different from a dying person, so he was calm and did not have a trace of throbbing.
Suddenly, he had an epiphany.
There is no love without a reason, and there is no hate without a reason.
Everything is a fate, and everything makes sense.
The fate and the truth are combined into fate. In the midst of fate, people are like duckweed in the long river, and they can't do anything but go with the flow.
If you can experience the love of the world, it is already a great blessing, even if the ending is miserable, love and hate are different, why do you need to lament, why do you need to mourn.
Collect the joys, sorrows, and sorrows of love, bury them deep in the heart, and turn them into spiritual food, and one day, the towering trees will break through the ground, and at that time, everything in the world is worth nostalgia, and the gods are nothing more than that.
Xiao Jie said calmly: "I don't have anything to say, but I must have lost all my memories after I woke up, and I ask you to give me a name." ”
The sword spirit laughed and read: "You are a cow in the herb for a day, and you have no basis or excuse to travel proudly. Drink the Wudang fairy water, cut off the double-horned flying clams, turn over the river and pour the sea into angry waves, wave the wings and chop the waves into the sky, the Holy Emperor of Fuxi is here today, and give you the name of the hornless cricket. ”
Saying that, the black blade in his hand hummed and slashed down towards Xiao Jie mercilessly.
