Chapter 5: The Seven Keys of the Great Way

The rain in the mountains seemed to be heavier than outside, and the raindrops made a rustling sound on the leaves, and the roads in the mountains were already muddy, and the big ox took the lead, holding a branch in his hand to avoid falling on the slippery road.

Liu Xuan walked at the back, although he was also wearing rain gear, but if you look closely, you will find that Liu Xuan's rain gear is dry, there are no water marks on it, and the raindrops are bounced off by a faint barrier on his head, and not a drop falls on his body.

The mountain road is getting more and more difficult to walk, many places have been washed away by the rain, a few children are walking on the road with difficulty with the branches, perhaps because the rain is too heavy, the group has been in the mountain for more than an hour without finding any prey.

Liu Xuan looked around at the surrounding woods, but his eyes became more and more solemn, about a few minutes ago he felt a strange aura, this aura appeared from time to time, making him feel uneasy in his heart.

"There's a hare in front. ”

The big bull who walked in front suddenly shouted, and several children suddenly became excited when they heard this, they had been in the mountain for so long, not to mention catching prey, they didn't even see the hair, and now there was suddenly news of prey, and several people threw away the branches and ran towards the depths of the woods.

At this time, Liu Xuan was closing his eyes tightly and feeling the breath, the breath was very light, Liu Xuan could barely feel a trace of it when he condensed all his mind, and suddenly a gust of wind blew, and the surrounding leaves suddenly made a rattling sound, and the faint breath completely dissipated.

I don't know how long it has been since I opened my eyes, and the figures of several children have long been gone, Liu Xuan was suddenly shocked, just now he condensed all his mind in order to search for that breath, so that he didn't know where those children went.

Liu Xuan was about to look for it, when suddenly a figure in the distance ran towards him, and when he got closer, he found that it was a big bull, and at this moment his face was full of anxiety, and his mouth kept shouting something.

Liu Xuan hurriedly greeted him and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Mr. Liu, it's not good. Da Niu hurriedly ran over, took a few breaths and said hurriedly: "Ergouzi, Ergouzi, he fell into a hole and disappeared." ”

Liu Xuan was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Where is it, take me quickly." ”

The big bull didn't say much, turned around and ran forward. Liu Xuan followed closely behind, his brows already furrowed deeply.

After running with the big bull for a few minutes, Liu Xuan suddenly felt the breath again, and the breath became stronger and stronger. Liu Xuan looked around closely, and everything around was still as usual, only raindrops fell from among the leaves.

"Mr. Liu, it's right ahead. ”

The two ran for a while, Da Niu pointed to a dark hole not far away and said, Liu Xuan looked at the hole not far away, the hole was about the size of a person, there was a stone bulge on the hole just to block the dripping rain, and several children were circling around the hole with anxious faces.

Liu Xuan ran towards the entrance of the cave, his expression was very solemn, the breath was already extremely thick at the entrance of the cave, and it seemed that the breath was emanating from the cave.

Several children hurriedly got out of the way when they saw Liu Xuan's arrival, Liu Xuan looked down at the entrance of the cave, the cave was dark, and the breath was constantly floating out of the hole, slowly diffuse.

Liu Xuan raised his head and asked, "How long has he been falling?"

"It's been a while. One of the children said anxiously: "It's too dark in the cave, and we feel a stream of cold air coming from the cave, so we don't dare to go down." ”

Liu Xuanyan was shocked when he heard this: "Even they feel that breath." ”

"Wait up there, and I'll go down and save him. ”

After Liu Xuan finished speaking, he jumped into the cave and slowly slid down the narrow hole. That breath became stronger and stronger, and even Liu Xuan felt a trace of coldness.

The hole was not deep, and after a while, Liu Xuan slipped to the bottom of the cave, and it was pitch black inside, and Liu Xuan could only barely see the situation in the cave with his cultivation.

Liu Xuan glanced around vigilantly, the hole was not big, there was a sarcophagus in the innermost, there was a stone platform in front of the sarcophagus, and some sundries were scattered on the platform, and the two dogs were curled up and fell on the side of the stone platform, looking like they had fainted.

Liu Xuan looked at the sarcophagus with solemn eyes, and the source of that breath was there. Liu Xuan was about to step forward to check, when suddenly there was a sound from above, Liu Xuan looked up and saw that a firelight was slowly sliding down the entrance of the cave.

"Mr. Liu......"

The big bull slowly fell from it with a torch, and a circle of hemp rope was tied around his waist. After seeing Liu Xuan, he hurriedly said: "Mr. Liu, you forgot to take the torch, it's so dark inside that you can't see anything." ”

Liu Xuan chuckled and couldn't bear to blame him, and said softly: "Don't worry, I've already found Ergouzi." ”

Hearing this, the big bull breathed a sigh of relief, and took advantage of the light of the torch to begin to observe the situation in the cave.

Suddenly, the big bull screamed, pointed to the sarcophagus and asked tremblingly, "Then is that the coffin?"

Liu Xuan nodded, and the big cow suddenly screamed, his face was full of horror, and he grabbed Liu Xuan's robe with both hands.

Liu Xuan patted him on the shoulder and comforted him softly: "Don't be afraid, isn't it a coffin, you go and carry the second dog over, and I'll go see the coffin." ”

Da Niu nodded slightly, still looking at the sarcophagus with fear on his face, and slowly moved towards the second dog under his feet.

Liu Xuan walked to the sarcophagus, the lid of the sarcophagus had been damaged, revealing a dry bone inside, and the breath was coming from this dry bone. Liu Xuan was shocked in his heart at this time, just a skeleton could emit such a strong aura, so how terrifying should this person's cultivation before his life.

Crossing the sarcophagus, Liu Xuan put his eyes on the stone platform, there were some sundries placed on it, Liu Xuan picked up a jade bottle and opened it gently, and suddenly a rancid smell came from the bottle, and Liu Xuan opened all the jade bottles on the stone platform on the jade bottle, and finally as expected, all the pills in the bottle have been completely discarded.

Throwing the discarded jade bottle aside, Liu Xuan cautiously picked up a book scroll on the stage, the scroll looked very worn, Liu Xuan was afraid that the book would fall into confetti if he was not careful.

To Liu Xuan's surprise, although the scroll looked like it would fall apart at any time, it still didn't break in the end. Carefully turning the first page, which was full of dense small characters, Liu Xuan followed the first line and began to read.

Gradually, Liu Xuan felt that there seemed to be an infinite attraction in the pages, his eyes widened and he stared at the small words on it, his body motionless like a statue, and he didn't even blink his eyes.

At this time, Da Niu had already carried the two dogs behind him, and called Liu Xuan softly, seeing that Liu Xuan did not react, Da Niu avoided the sarcophagus and walked towards Liu Xuan.

"Mr. Liu, Mr. Liu. ”

Da Niu called twice, Liu Xuan still didn't respond, his eyes were still staring at the scroll in his hand, Da Niu was suddenly a little curious, and leaned over to see what could be so attractive to Liu Xuan in the book.

When Da Niu's eyes fell on the page, his face suddenly changed, and a penetrating coolness came out from behind, and bursts of fear began to spread in his heart.

Da Niu glanced at Liu Xuan, who was focused, and then at the blank page, cold sweat kept oozing from his forehead.

"Mr. Liu, Mr. Liu. ”

Da Niu grabbed Liu Xuan's arm and shook it violently, and after a while, Liu Xuan suddenly shook, blinked his eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Mr. Liu, you have fallen into evil. Da Niu looked at Liu Xuan, who had recovered his senses, and said in horror.

"Evil?" Liu Xuan asked suspiciously, "What evil am I?"

Da Niu pointed to the scroll in Liu Xuan's hand with fear on his face and said tremblingly: "Just now I saw Mr. You looked at the blank pages and didn't move, isn't it evil or something." ”

Liu Xuan was shocked when he heard this, pointed to the page and asked, "You said that this is blank?

"There are no words. Da Niu's eyes widened and said, "I think sir, you are evil, this place is too evil, let's go quickly." ”

Saying that, Da Niu picked up the two dogs and hurriedly ran towards the entrance of the cave, Liu Xuan looked at his figure and was puzzled, why Da Niu said that there were no words on it, and he clearly saw that it was full of small characters.

"Mr. Liu, let's go. ”

At this time, the big cow had already tied the hemp rope to his body, and gently pulled the rope, and several children on it hurriedly began to pull the rope, and the big cow carried the two dogs on his back and pulled towards it while crawling.

Liu Xuan didn't think much about it, took the scroll into his arms and followed the big cow to climb up the hole, and after a while, the three of them had already climbed out of the hole, and several children saw that the three of them finally let go of their hearts and breathed a sigh of relief.

The rain continued to fall, and it was already approaching evening at this moment, and the already gray sky was much darker, Liu Xuan hurriedly beckoned a few people to prepare to return to the village.

After what happened just now, the children also had palpitations at this moment, nodded and followed Liu Xuan towards the village.

Back in the village, Liu Xuan closed the door and couldn't wait to take out the scroll and open it, this time he didn't look at the first page again, but turned to the second page, the second page was still full of dense small characters, but these handwriting seemed to be written on it indiscriminately, and it couldn't be connected to a complete sentence at all, let alone read the meaning of it, it was still the same when he turned to the third page, and it was all the same until he turned to the sixth page, and the seventh page was really blank.

Liu Xuan turned to the first page again and began to read carefully, and in a moment Liu Xuan was deeply attracted by the handwriting, and the whole person seemed to be in a void, and the small characters on the book began to soar from the paper and revolve around Liu Xuan.

"It is better to fight the sword to kill the world, than to sit alone on a high platform and read thousands of books. ”

"There is a golden house in the book, Yan Ruyu in the book, and thousands of avenues in the book. ”

One thought after another sounded in Liu Xuan's mind, and the words in the book flew in front of his eyes like fireflies.

"The way of heaven is impermanent, the avenue is innumerable, if you seek the way to kill, you will hold the sword and slaughter the world. If you seek the way of grace, then do good and help the people. ”

Liu Xuan seemed to be in the vast sea of books at this moment, countless words swirled and danced in the sky, and finally formed a sharp sword passing through his body, Liu Xuan closed his eyes and suddenly didn't realize it, allowing these sharp swords to pass over him.

"With the pen and the book, I am the supreme avenue. ”

Suddenly, Liu Xuan opened his eyes violently, raised his head and roared angrily, grabbed those sharp swords with both hands, jumped up high, and slashed through the sky fiercely, and suddenly the whole sea of books was stormy, and the words in the sky began to shake violently, and after a while, there was a crisp sound, and the sea of books disappeared, and the words in the sky also disappeared.

Liu Xuanru's statue-like body began to writhe, and the sound of raindrops hitting the bamboo house became louder and louder. Gently closing the book, Liu Xuan let out a long breath, and his entire shirt was completely soaked with sweat.

Looking at the scroll again, four large characters gradually appeared on the originally blank cover.

"Seven tips for the Great Road. ”

The handwriting is vigorous and powerful, hovering on the cover like a dragon and snake flying, gently turning the first page, the small characters on it began to move rapidly, and in a blink of an eye, a golden "sky" character was formed. A majestic aura flew out from the word "sky", instantly enveloping Liu Xuan.

The rain outside continued, it was already night, the village was silent, only the ticking sound of raindrops came, Liu Xuan sat cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed in the bamboo house, a faint mist shrouded him in it, and his thin figure appeared and disappeared in the mist.

Before I knew it, the sky had turned white, and there were bursts of roosters in the village from time to time, Liu Xuan was still sitting cross-legged on the ground, and the fog around him had become lighter and lighter, and gradually began to dissipate.

Suddenly, Liu Xuan opened his eyes, a pair of bright eyes like stars in the night, and his eyes were as sharp as a sword. The Seven Keys of the Great Dao floated on his chest, and the golden word "Tian" on the first page had gradually dimmed, and finally turned into black handwriting, and the breath had completely dissipated, and the whole book seemed to have nothing special.

Liu Xuanqiang suppressed the excitement in his heart and began to sort out the information in his mind, this book was originally called the Seven Tips of the Great Dao, the book has seven pages, each page is a trick, and the first page is the Heavenly Dao Recipe, each of which needs to be understood by himself, only after comprehension can he understand the words on the page, as for why the seventh page is blank, Liu Xuan still does not know.

Turning the second page, Liu Xuan looked at it for a moment, and sure enough, he couldn't understand it at all, and gently took the seven tips of the Great Dao into his arms, Liu Xuan stood up, and his whole temperament had undergone subtle changes.

When I opened the door, it was already dawn, the rain was still continuing, and the villagers were wearing rain gear as they walked through the muddy road. Da Niu also walked behind his parents towards the entrance of the village, and saw Liu Xuan hurriedly waved his hand.

"Mr. Liu, the village chief is about to start worshipping immortals, do you want to go and have a look?"

"I'm not going. Liu Xuan chuckled and shook his head, he had more important things to do today.
