Chapter 11 Draw the sword and light to chill the gall, and point to the sky and the moon
Ye Haotian stood by the lake, thinking about the last two sentences left by the old man, and he was not sure whether it was related to the solution of the Nine Yin Soul Lock. He was worried that his skills were insufficient, and what he said just now would not be able to spread so far, and the old man might not be able to hear it.
He thought to himself, regretting that he had asked late.
Lan'er didn't think about it so much, looking at the emerald lake, she said happily: "I like it here, although it is the top of the mountain, it is not cold at all, and even the wind blowing over is very gentle." ”
Ye Haotian said with emotion: "Yes, due to the protection of the inner and outer two layers of large arrays, it is difficult for immortals and ghosts to enter here, the four seasons are like spring, and the wind, frost, rain and snow are blocked outside, it is really a veritable fairyland." You don't have to worry about ghosts and ghosts, you can play the piano freely, walk as you like, and even go down to the lake to play in the water. ”
Lan'er stood by the lake with her skirt lifted, her feet fell into the water, and she suddenly exclaimed: "Childe, this water is still warm!"
Ye Haotian also took off his shoes and socks and soaked his feet in the lake water, sure enough, the water temperature was suitable, neither cold nor hot, and the huge Yan Lake was like a hot spring. It was probably once a volcanic crater, and although the volcano has stopped, the water temperature is still very high. As far as the eye can see, the pines and cypresses around the lake are fresh green, exotic flowers and plants are vibrant, and there are even a few coconut trees next to the hut, with huge coconuts hanging on the top.
Seeing such a beautiful scenery, he was happy in his heart, looked at Lan'er's white jade-like toes and said, "If you want, you can try to unite the spirit and body now." ”
Lan'er shook her head and said softly: "The Nine Yin Soul Lock has not been lifted yet, if the spirit body is united, even if the body can withstand it, it will expose your whereabouts and mine." Although the demon road can't come in, if you stay outside every day, it will be unbearable. The blood feud of the son is not over, if he hides here for a long time, I am afraid that it will be difficult to calm down, and it will be difficult to make progress in Taoism. Besides, if they kill the local people, can Childe hold back it?"
Ye Haotian heard that he was reasonable, so he could only sigh and say, "It's rare that Lan'er understands me, it seems that I still have to wait for a while." We have no escape, we can only stand up and fight the demons to the end!" After a pause, he continued: "The scenery here is very beautiful, and it is very close to the county seat, so we might as well treat this place as our home, and we can come back to live at night." ”
Lan'er clapped her hands and said, "Okay, we finally have a home!" As soon as the words came out, her face was shy, and her beautiful big eyes secretly glanced at Ye Haotian.
Ye Haotian looked at the hut behind him and said with a smile: "Come, let's take a look at the family background first, what Uncle Shi left us behind." ”
The two of them made a look inside and outside the house.
In front of me is a small wooden house, although it is not big, it is divided into several parts of the tea room, the Dan room and the bedroom, there are some tables and chairs, but unfortunately there are only a few futons in the bedroom, and there is no bed.
Lan'er "oops": "How can there be no kitchen and stove?"
Ye Haotian knew that the old man had already cultivated to the point where he didn't need to eat or sleep, so there were no such settings in the hut. In terms of skill, he himself can get rid of eating and sleeping. It's just that because I haven't been cultivating for a long time, I still have a strong sense of psychological dependence. Besides, skipping meals also reduced a lot of interest, so he decided to change the Danfang into a stove room, and all that was missing was pots and pans.
When he was cleaning up the Dan room, he found a woodcarved box, and a few words were engraved on the lid: "Lingbao Heavenly Master Dharma Seal", and when he opened it, he saw that there were some copper discs connected to the handles, and there were eighteen large and small in total. Looking at the largest Dharma seal first, I saw a tiger head portrait and some cloud seals on it. Looking at the small seals, they are also some sigils and cloud seals. He looked at the seals one by one, but none of them could be understood. It seems that it is not possible to completely figure it out for a while, so we must spend some energy research. Despite this, he was still very happy, because he vaguely guessed the meaning of the old man's last two sentences, and these magic seals probably had a lot to do with lifting the Nine Yin Locked Soul on Lan'er's body.
Next, he made a stove with the clay by the lake, and then worked with both palms, and dried the wet soil with the real fire of Samadhi, and after a while, the stove was completed, and he turned around and asked Lan'er: "Do you want to get another bed?"
Lan'er pursed her lips and didn't speak, and said for a long time: "If you want to get it, you need two." One is in the bedroom and the other in the tea room. ”
Ye Haotian said with a smile: "Okay, two is two! There is no need for a bed, go down the mountain to get a few quilts, and stack them together." ”
The benefits of having a home are, first and foremost, the ability to store items. He took out the things he rarely used from the Qiankun Tips, including ancient swords, jade slips, and the like, and threw them all outside the house. Lan'er's crystal coffin didn't move, although it was very safe here, he still preferred to take it with him, not wanting to leave the slightest regret.
When they were busy, the two of them sat on the edge of Yanhu Lake, watching the sunset and the sky full of colorful clouds, everything was so peaceful and tranquil, and they looked at each other, and they only felt that this moment in their lives was enough.
After a long time, Lan'er suddenly pointed to the sky and shouted, "Look there, there seems to be a fire." ”
Ye Haotian took a closer look, and found that the spot where the water and the sky met in the distance flashed at some point, and looked at the smoke billowing out, it actually came from the beacon tower!
"Oh no! There are Japanese robbers in the autumn harvest season!"
He was shocked, and immediately floated down and went straight to the beacon tower. Lan'er quickly disappeared into the Qiankun Tips.
In mid-air, Ye Haotian took a mask and put it on, and arrived at the beach in the blink of an eye. Look around. Five large ships had just landed, and there were only two or three thousand people crawling up to the shore. A few of the fast runners had already reached the beacon tower and were wielding knives to kill. The ** people on the stage were already frightened, and only two of them were still desperately shooting arrows downward.
Ye Haotian saw that the situation was critical, and slapped it with a palm in mid-air, and several widows were slapped to death before they could react, their brains burst, and they died. The people behind are still pouring up.
"I just don't understand, these robbers have come all the way to burn, kill and loot, and there is no one with a surname!" Ye Haotian was annoyed in his heart, and he dropped his body and shouted, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day: "Stop! If you want to live, go back quickly! Take a step forward, don't forget to kill!"
The Wako didn't notice him coming from the air, so no one paid any attention to him, and they continued to rush forward. A Japanese man spoke Chinese well, and said with a cruel smile: "We have come across the sea, how can we go back empty-handed? Unless your country obediently sends 10,000 taels of gold and 1,000 beautiful women, we can still make a discussion." Otherwise, hehe, burn, kill, and rob all within a thousand miles!"
Ye Haotian was furious, and snorted coldly: "I have the heart to let you live, but you don't know what to do! I really don't shed tears if I don't see the coffin, then let you see the coffin!" The rest of the would-be robbers hugged their heads and ran away, Ye Haotian chased forward and killed again, and in the end, only twenty or thirty people were left kneeling on the ground and kowtowing like pounding garlic. Ye Haotian raised his palm and put it down. The surrounding ground was full of blood, and the sea water was already dyed red, and he softened his heart.
He untied a small windsurfing board from the big boat and ordered the remaining twenty people to go up: "Get out of here, go back and tell your people, if you dare to come in the future, you will not be spared!
Those people were so pale that they didn't dare to say a word, and walked away with their windsurfers.
At this time, several people on the peak fire platform were already stunned, and some people vomited when they looked at the corpses all over the ground.
When Ye Haotian took off his mask and came to the county seat, he found that the city gate had been closed, the drawbridge had been put away, and the city wall was full of people, each with a hoe and shovel in their hands. Seeing this scene, he felt very gratified: "Even if the Japanese invade on a large scale, it will be difficult to break through such a county seat. When the people of the city saw him, they quickly lowered the drawbridge and let him in. When he entered the city, he pretended to shout loudly: "Everyone has worked hard, leave the 800 militia behind, and the rest will disperse first. "The people refused to disperse.
A moment later, someone rode over and shouted, "The Japanese are dead, everyone is all right!" and then galloped in, and stepped forward to report: "More than 2,000 Japanese people have been killed by an immortal who fell from the sky, and there are five big ships on the seaside, please decide!"
Ye Haotian instructed Li Tianle to lead two hundred militia groups to go with him, and asked Wang Ji to count the boatmen with sailing experience in the county.
When everyone came to the scene, it was almost dark, and the ground was full of blood, and the corpses were one in the east and one in the west, which was unbearable. Ye Haotian felt that it was too troublesome to bury so many corpses one by one, so he instructed the militia to pile the corpses into several piles, light them on fire, and bury them together after burning. Fortunately, it is a trained militia group, and it is relatively easy to do these jobs, and if they were replaced by ordinary people, they would have been frightened and fainted.
It was already dark when it was done. Everyone lit torches and walked back, and Li Tianle said as he walked: "So many people died at once, I'm afraid that the Japanese will not dare to come again within ten years." ”
Back at the county office, Lan'er said sullenly: "Childe, you have killed so many people, I am afraid that it will not be good for the cultivation of immortals." ”
Ye Haotian said: "Sage Cloud, 'The way of heaven, the loss is more than enough to make up for the deficiency. If you dare to kill, if you dare not you will live'. Since these people dare to come to burn, kill and loot, they are killing themselves. I stop killing by killing, although I have no last resort, but it is also secretly in line with the way of heaven. Moreover, the Buddha said, 'I don't go to hell, who will go to hell', in order to protect the Chinese people, I would rather incarnate as a Shura, and I will not hesitate to cultivate immortals. ”
Although Lan'er understood in her heart, there was still a look of unbearability on her face.
Ye Haotian also sighed. After seeing so many corpses, no one felt comfortable in their hearts, unless they were crazy. But why do those robbers like to kill people? That means they are not human beings at all! For beasts that are not human beings, kill them!
Wang Ji counted the people in the county who had experience in going to the sea overnight. The next day, it was reported, and there were more than 300 people, two of whom had gone to the West and were rare talents.
Ye Haotian asked him to invite the best ten people over.
An hour later, everyone came, mostly sturdy men, two of whom were older, about fifty years old. After Ye Haotian asked for the names one by one, he knew that the two were called Li Ke and Li Rui, they were brothers, who had served in the imperial court's fleet and had been to the West more than once.
Ye Haotian was very satisfied with these people and said: "Yueqing is close to the sea by the mountains, and land trade is relatively difficult, so we should vigorously develop maritime trade in the future." Maritime trade can be divided into domestic and ocean-going. Domestic trade is not far from the shore and is relatively easy. Ocean trade, on the other hand, is more dangerous and requires experience. We have five large ships, three of which I plan to use for domestic trade, and the other two for the South Seas, what do you think?"
There was a lot of talk about it, and most people wanted to do only their own trade.
Li Ke said: "If you are well prepared, ocean trade is not terrible, and you can earn several times the benefits of a round trip." ”
Ye Haotian asked, "What preparations should I make?"
Li Ke replied: "There are three main points: the first is the training of personnel, each ship has at least 20 crew members, and must go through a month of training; the second is the nautical chart, which we do not have in detail at present; and the third is to guard against piracy, it is recommended to add a cannon to the ship, and send another martial arts expert to take charge." ”
Ye Haotian nodded and said: "The problem of cannons has been solved, I went to the ship yesterday to see that there are three cannons on each ship, it should be enough, and I will find another way." As he spoke, he wrote a proclamation: "For the needs of maritime trade, the county has recruited thirty skilled kung fu men, each of whom is thirty taels of silver per month, and thirty gunners and one hundred crew members, each of whom is fifteen taels of silver per month." ”
Then he said to Li Ke and Li Rui: "Please ask the two masters to be responsible for the selection and training of the crew, and strive to be able to go to sea in a month." I'll bring the charts when the time comes. Then he turned to Li Tianle and said: "You are responsible for the selection of martial arts masters and gunners, and send someone to the Fujian Navy Division to invite a few people to see the types of guns on our ship, how to use them, and how to replenish the shells." Then he said to Wang Ji: "You go and purchase goods and arrange trade goods." ”
After a while, he arranged the affairs of maritime trade in an orderly manner, and finally said to everyone: "I will go to Jingshi in the next two days to see if I can find a detailed chart." In my absence, Wang Ji was solely responsible for the affairs of the county. ”
※※※
After everyone dispersed, Ye Haotian went to the county market and bought a few carpets, bedding and a pot, as well as daily necessities such as oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and more interestingly, he also bought dozens of red candles as thick as children's arms. He put all these things into the Qiankun bag, and then went out of the city, running all the way to Yanhu's house.
The first thing to do is to lay a carpet on the whole hut, then place the futon, set up the tables and chairs, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and a warm home will appear in front of you after half an hour. Ye Haotian was reclining on the bed, and Lan'er was sitting cross-legged next to him, both of them feeling very satisfied.
Ye Haotian took the box of law seals and decided to study it carefully. Eighteen seals are arranged in a line from large to small, the largest is about five inches, and the smallest is only the size of a soybean. Each seal has a tiger head on the back, while the front is completely different. He first took the largest Dharma seal in his hand, and looked at it for an hour before identifying it, and there was a big cloud seal drawn on it, which was the word "wind", without any explanation. I picked up the second one and looked at it for a long time, and found that it was the word "rain". He looked at the past in turn, and with the general direction, the following ones were much easier to identify, which were "wind, rain, thunder, electricity, water, fire, pestilence, disease, anger, joy, thought, sorrow, fear, soul, spirit, spirit, will, and will", all without any annotations.
He pondered for a long time, got up and dipped the seal with the word "wind" in thick ink, and luckily pressed a mark on the paper, shook the sky a few times, and waited for a long time without a sound of the wind. He burned the paper again, according to the Maoshan Taoist method, stepped on the gossip steps, held the sword, and recited the words in his mouth: "Heaven and earth listen to my orders, urgent as the law!"
After waiting for a long time, only a little breeze came. Ye Haotian was very dissatisfied, it seemed that these methods were not right.
He thought about it for a long time and couldn't come up with a good plan, so he walked around the room with his head bowed in a sullen manner.
Lan'er was a little distressed when she saw him meditating hard, and comforted him: "Childe, everything in the world has a fate, and if the time is not enough, it will be in vain to think about it." It is not easy to unlock the Nine Yin Locked Soul, and the concubine still has the patience to wait for a few more years. Ye Haotian had to give up for the time being.
It was the thirteenth day of August, the night breeze was blowing gently, the round moon hung in the sky, and the two sat on the soft grass by the lake, neither of them spoke, and the feeling of warmth and tranquility had already filled their hearts. In the middle of the night, the two of them returned to the house to meditate and work hard. Ye Haotian gave up the bedroom to Lan'er and sat in the tea room by himself.
When it was almost dawn, he woke up Lan'er: "Come back to the capital with me and find some nautical charts." ”
Lan'er agreed to hide in the Qiankun Tips. She knew that there were many shadows near the capital, and she didn't want to cause trouble.
Ye Haotian took up the Liezi Mental Method, and arrived in the capital after two ups and downs.
At this time, the east had just turned white, and it was still early. He first went to the snack bar of Confucius Temple to ask for a few snacks and enjoyed them slowly. After eating, I took a walk around the Qinhuai River, and waited until the three poles before coming to the Hanlin Temple.
Hearing that the old man was visiting, Luo Kaishan ran out quickly, grabbed Ye Haotian's hand, and said very eagerly: "Brother is here? I envy you so much! Look how comfortable you are doing as a magistrate! I travel everywhere and enjoy the mountains and rivers, and I have come to Beijing twice in half a year! It is much cooler than me being bored in the house all day!"
Ye Haotian said with a smile: "The younger brother visited this time, firstly, I missed the eldest brother, so I made a special trip to take a look, and secondly, I wanted to trouble the eldest brother for a small matter. ”
Luo Kaishan patted him on the shoulder: "What's the matter, my own brother, as long as I can help, it's okay!"
Ye Haotian said: "I need a batch of charts of the South Seas, and the county wants to carry out trade and go to the South Seas." ”
Luo Kaishan said with a smile: "The chart originally belonged to the Ministry of Industry, but it seems that the Hanlin Academy also has a copy, you wait, I'll find someone to check." After saying that, I called someone to investigate.
Soon after, the man replied: "There is a chart drawn by the imperial fleet when it went to the West, which is more detailed. ”
Luo Kaishan ordered: "Go and draw a copy quickly, the sooner the better!"
The man said: "Even if you work overtime, it will not be completed until noon tomorrow." ”
Luo Kaishan said: "Quickly go and describe." Turning to Ye Haotian and said, "Brother, I'll take a leave of absence, and go back early to drink with you!" After speaking, he walked out, and after a while, he came back and led Ye Haotian out of Hanlin Academy. As soon as he got home, he didn't care about the time, he ordered his subordinates: "Prepare wine and feast, and get drunk today!"
The two drank for a while, and the smell of wine came up, and Luo Kaishan began to be indignant: "Recently, the imperial court has become more and more chaotic. The emperor has not been to the court for a month, and many ministers want to see the emperor, but they are all blocked by the annihilators. Last month, two more second-class officials were beheaded all over the house! Now everyone in Beijing is in danger. Although the position is a little smaller, he is also the master of one party, but the emperor is far away, and his heart is comfortable!"
About an hour later, Mrs. Luo came out, greeted Ye Haotian, grabbed Luo Kaishan's arm, and persuaded her politely: "Don't drink Xianggong! There are still people coming at night, it is related to the lifelong event of the little sister, if you get drunk, it is not good!"
Luo Kaishan was still more obedient, and he didn't drink when he heard the words.
Mrs. Luo helped Ye Haotian refill the wine and persuaded: "Uncle is not an outsider, please continue to drink! ”
Ye Haotian asked curiously, "Sister-in-law, I don't know who the surname Lan is?"
Mrs. Luo said: "I heard that it is the current science jinshi, and it has been spread in the capital, saying that he is more literate than Song Yu and looks like Pan An, and I don't know if it's true." Uncle helped us look at it at night, appearance is secondary, the key is good character. ”
Ye Haotian nodded in agreement.
Before the time came, Mrs. Luo's sister came to the house and entered the inner house in a small sedan chair, and she didn't know what she looked like.
As soon as it got dark, someone outside reported: "A few sons have arrived!"
Ye Haotian didn't want to see these people, so he hurriedly avoided behind the corner gate.
Luo Kaishan went out to greet him, and a few scribes came in in an instant, and the one who walked in front was a beautiful young man with a graceful demeanor.
Ye Haotian only glanced at it, and his head "buzzed"! It turned out that the person was not someone else, but actually the demon he had seen on the Xuanwu Lake Cherry Continent! At that time, he stared at the other party a few times, so he firmly remembered the person's face.
He was uneasy in his heart, hurriedly dodged and retreated, and then quickly wrote a few words and handed them to Mrs. Luo.
Mrs. Luo was in the inner hall, and was about to lead her sister to visit through the window, when she suddenly received a letterhead, and felt a little strange, who knew that when she opened it, she saw that it was written in black and white: "Don't show up, that's a human-faced beast-hearted, heinous demon!"
Mrs. Luo and her sister looked at each other, a little unbelieving in their hearts, but they didn't dare to take risks, so they could only sit quietly in the room, waiting to listen to Luo Kaishan's words.
An hour later, Luo Kaishan sent those people away.
Ye Haotian asked him to retreat left and right, and said solemnly: "Brother, can you trust me?"
Luo Kaishan said: "Brother, what do you say! As soon as you and I fall in love at first sight, how can we not believe you?"
Ye Hao stepped forward to bow, and then said: "I still hide some things from my brother! Actually, I am Li Hao of Yuelu Academy, because I was hunted down and killed, I had to hide incognito and avoid in every way. ”
Luo Kaishan stared at his face and felt incredulous.
Ye Haotian took out the mask and put it on: "Brother Luo, look at it again!"
Luo Kaishan suddenly realized, came up and hugged him, and shouted in a lost voice: "Good brother, it's really you! I thought I would never see you again, but I didn't expect that the two Li Hao would be the same! This is really good!"
Ye Haotian roughly said his own affairs from beginning to end, except for treasure hunting, making jade, selling swords, etc., most of the others are not bad, and then talked about what he saw in Xuanwu Lake, and said solemnly: "Don't look at the demon is very young, but the kung fu is extremely high, and he is practicing the evil skill of the girl to supplement the yang, if you let the little sister get close to the five zhang, he will be noticed, and it will be difficult to get rid of it in the future!"
Luo Kaishan clasped his hands and said gratefully: "Brother, I am fortunate to have you today!"
Ye Haotian groaned: "I don't know what that person's name is, where he lives now, if he is single, I will definitely kill him!"
Luo Kaishan said: "I know this, that person's name is Lan Caifeng, and he currently lives in Juxian Building near Wuyi Lane. Brother, be careful!"
That night, Ye Haotian lived in Luofu. In the dead of night, he took out the magic seal and pondered for a few hours, and the eighteen cloud seals had been hovering in his mind, and he still had no clue how to use them.
At noon the next day, Luo Kaishan brought a detailed sea chart, densely marked with land, islands, and some small notes.
Ye Haotian thanked him again and again and left.
Out of Luofu, I walked to the Juxian Building near Wuyi Lane.
Juxian Building was originally an inn, and there was also a Juxian Building opposite it.
Ye Haotian found a room in Juxian Building to live in, put down the curtains, and stood behind the curtain to look at the opposite side.
It wasn't until the evening that he saw Lan Caifeng come back with a few people dressed as scholars, stayed in Juxian Tower for less than an hour, and then walked out alone, dressed in a white shirt and strolling around the street with a folding fan in his hand.
Ye Haotian followed from a distance.
At this time, it is the night of August 15, and the streets are full of colorful lanterns, such as Chang'e running to the moon, eight immortals crossing the sea, Magu offering his birthday, Zhong Kui catching ghosts, all kinds, everything. Some of them are very elaborately conceived, not only by hand, but also by doing various actions. There is an endless stream of pedestrians on the street, and many girls and daughters-in-law who have been locked in the boudoir for many years are difficult to breathe. Some came in sedan chairs, some on foot. Due to the large number of people, Ye Haotian followed closer, and he could see Lan Caifeng's every move.
At this time, Lan Caifeng was really extraordinary, the wind was suave, and the place where he passed attracted the admiring eyes of many women, but he ignored these gazes at all, and his eyes were aimed at a small sedan chair. Most of the people who sit in the sedan chair are the daughters of the eunuchs, and at this time, they all open half of the sedan curtain and look at the lanterns on the street through the gap.
Walking all the way, Lan Caifeng finally found the target, which was a small purple sedan chair with a dignified and beautiful girl sitting in it.
Ye Haotian followed behind from a gap of twenty zhang, with a lot of people in between, seeing that the small sedan chair in front of him walked to the end of the long street, leaving the long street and walking towards the alley, so he slowed down and dropped out far away.
The alley is very quiet, listening to the sound of the sedan chair, he is not worried that he will be lost.
The time was not long, and the sedan chair came to the door of a deep house compound, the gate opened, and the sedan chair was carried in.
Lan Caifeng laughed a few times outside the door and walked away in the night.
Ye Haotian then came to the front of the mansion, walked around the courtyard, and found that there were several towering ancient trees behind the courtyard, one of which was particularly tall, and it was necessary for two or three people to hug it, so he took out the mask and put it on, drew a few spirit runes on the key parts of the body, floated up and stopped at the thickest place of the branches and leaves on the top of the big tree, and then sorted out the branches and leaves, and laid out a simple small array to hide himself. When everything was ready, he sat down on the branch of the tree and continued to ponder the use of those seals.
Just after the third watch, a black shadow flew from the sky and happened to stop two feet below him. Ye Haotian held his breath and watched carefully, and found that the person who came was indeed Lan Caifeng! You can see a silver smile on his face under the moonlight!
Lan Caifeng sniffed a few times on the tree, as if searching for the woman's breath and judging which room she lived in. Suddenly, he seemed to smell something, and looked up. But there were dense leaves all above, and he couldn't see anything! He glanced at it suspiciously, then suddenly got up and rushed towards the place where Ye Haotian was.
Ye Haotian gathered his strength and waited for him, and when the other party had just poked his head out of the leaves, he launched it with all his strength, and stabbed the opponent's chest with a sword. Seeing that the sword was still three feet away, the other party suddenly floated away, and the sword slashed on his arm, and a little blood fell to the ground.
Ye Haotian rushed without hesitation and stabbed the opponent's vest hole with a sword.
Lan Caifeng failed to turn around, but he returned his hand and sent out a palm, and there was a black ball that came out of his palm, which turned into a flame before it reached Ye Haotian.
Ye Haotian waved his left palm and wanted to push the flames away, but when the wind passed, the flames grew when they saw the wind, and the flames burst out a few feet high!
He was in a hurry, and a big cloud seal "water" word poured into his heart, and he didn't have time to think about it at the moment, his palms pushed it out together, and a magic seal approached the palm of his hand from the dantian under the sea of marrow, and then came out with the palm wind, and turned into a cloud of rain above the flame, and the flame was suddenly extinguished!
His heart was so ecstatic that he almost froze: "It turns out that the magic seal can be used like this!"
Lan Caifeng had already turned around, just saw the flames extinguished, and knew that the skills of the person who came were not weak, so he turned around and ran, and at the same time released a cigarette to inform the master.
Ye Haotian chased after him on the one hand, and let Yuan Ying chase after the other party's Yuan Ying on the other hand. At this time, the difference can be seen, his Yuan Ying is faintly absent, and as soon as it starts, it floats in front of the other party's Yuan Baby. The other party's Yuan Ying was already six feet tall, but at this time, he could only hold his head and run away.
Lan Caifeng saw that Yuanying could not escape, so he could only recall the body and gallop with all his might.
Ye Haotian hurried over, and seeing that it was about to be within a zhang, he gathered his strength to send out a magic seal, which was a silver shining word "electricity", and a lightning bolt suddenly gave birth to the thunder, which slashed over according to the blue wind.
Lan Caifeng was struck by the thunder and lightning, his body spasmed, he fell from the air, and stood on the ground with a sword in one hand, his legs trembling.
Ye Haotian didn't dare to hesitate, and attacked with a sword in mid-air! However, the sword light was blocked by Lan Caifeng from a zhang away. He cast the best Qingcheng swordsmanship passed down by his master, and fired fifteen swords in a row, but he was still blocked back by the other party! Moreover, Lan Caifeng's swordsmanship was dense and endless.
Ye Haotian saw that the sword could not defeat the other party, so he had to put away the sword, and launched another magic seal with both palms, which was a big word "fear"!
Lan Caifeng suddenly caught fire again, and the sword in his hand almost fell to the ground!
Ye Haotian was unforgiving, and then another lightning bolt slashed over!
The other party finally sat down on the ground, his sword out of his hand, and his eyes were still glaring at him viciously.
Ye Haotian was not relentless, and rose up to slash two swords in a row, and cut off the opponent's head with one sword. A sword slashes the infant that flies out. When he looked back, Lan Caifeng's handsome body suddenly became a lot older, with goosebumps and crane hair, and a stiff back, where was the beautiful boy who had just paid attention to everyone?
Ye Haotian quickly searched the other party's body, but found nothing. He knew that this was not a good place, so he didn't dare to stay for a long time, so he left the capital and went straight to Yueqing, and the two ups and downs came to Yanhu.
Reclining in the cabin, he was still summing up the gains and losses of the battle just now: "I didn't expect the other party's skill to be so high, if there is no careful ambush today, coupled with the timely realization of the mystery of the Fa Yin, I'm afraid that it will be trouble! Fa Yin, Fa Yin! It is really a good thing! If the skill is profound, maybe it can communicate with heaven and earth, call the wind and rain, no wonder Shi Shuzu will leave the words 'Fa Yin can pass through the moon with his heart'!"
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and he couldn't help but shake his head.
Lan'er next to him looked at him with great joy and asked, "Childe, are you so happy to kill a demon?"
Ye Haotian said with a smile: "No, I have a new understanding of the Fa Yin, maybe it won't be long before I can crack the 'Nine Yin Lock Soul' on your body." ”
Lan'er's eyes widened, and she said happily: "Really? That's great! Childe's progress is really fast, I saw you use the Fa Yin to attack the enemy, and the power of a blow in the air is amazing." But the Nine Yin Lock Soul is not human, how can it be cracked?"
Ye Haotian smiled slightly and said: "I still have to practice for a few more days, especially the final 'soul, spirit, spirit, will, will' and other law seals, I still need to think carefully, and I must figure them all out before I can start." Then "hehe" smiled: "I only have one Lan'er, if it is broken, I will feel distressed for the rest of my life." ”
Lan'er didn't evade, her beautiful eyes stared at him, and said softly: "I'm not afraid, Childe will do his best, if it doesn't work, it will be my life." Then be a ghost for the rest of your life, as long as I can follow you every day. ”
In the next few days, Ye Haotian did not return to the county office, but stayed in Yanhu Lake to figure out the Fayin, and as long as he thought of something, he would go to the nearby mountains to test. He didn't want to destroy the perfection of Yanhu, so he ran far away to cast all kinds of magic seals.
In the past few days, the people who have come to play in the wild goose are not very comfortable, the sky is clear and cloudless, and after a while, the wind and rain are blowing, lightning and thunder, which makes people scratch their heads.
When cultivating the fire seal, he simply ran to the beach and cast it on the sea, and after practicing, he slapped a sea of fire within a few zhang with one palm.
In just a few days, he had already mastered the six seals of wind, rain, thunder, electricity, water, and fire, and all he lacked was fire. He was not interested in the application of the two seals of plague and disease, but only in how to get rid of them. Since the Nine Yin Soul Locking Soul was not a simple disease, he wanted to put the two Dharma seals aside for the time being, and practice them later when he had time.
After careful consideration, he found that the seals of anger, joy, thought, sorrow, and fear are not difficult to apply, and the effect is mainly to cause emotional changes in the other party, which can regulate the body and mind in light, and damage the five organs in the heavy, so that the other party "hurts the liver when he is angry, sad when he is happy, hurts the spleen if he thinks too much, hurts the lungs if he is too sad, and hurts the kidneys if he is afraid."
The last five seals are relatively difficult to understand, but they are closely related to Lan'er's Nine Yin Soul Lock, and they are the focus of his research. He knew that "soul, spirit, spirit, will, and will" were the gods of the five internal organs, located in the sea of marrow, and each had its own master, so he decided to release the original spirit to the depths of the sea of marrow to inspect it.
He sat quietly on the futon with his back to the south, hugged Yuan Shouyi, and came to the depths of the sea of marrow with a little spiritual light in the dark. It was a vast sea, and the sea water was not a faint blue, but a thick white, and it was composed of the brain and marrow, and was called the "sea of marrow". There are several small islands protruding from the medullary sea, one of which is located in the depths of the medullary sea, surrounded by a layer of yellow light, called "Yellow Pulp Island".
When he came to the sky above the Yellow Pulp Island, he was surprised to find that the island was divided into five areas, full of colorful flowers. Each area has a dominant color, teal in the east, red in the south, white in the west, black in the north, and yellow in the center. There was a palace in the center of each district, and the gates of the palace were open, and through the gate he saw that in each palace was inhabited a Holy Spirit. By carefully observing the face and costume of the Holy Spirit, he guessed that those in the east in the green robe were probably spirits, those in the south in red robes were probably gods, those in white robes in the west were probably Yi Ling, those in black robes were probably Zhi Ling, and those in the center in yellow robes were probably spirits.
Looking at it, he suddenly remembered that it was said in the "Overview of the Daozang" that when the cultivation of the truth reaches the completion of the real human world, there will be a scene of three flowers gathering at the top and the five qi dynasties, and now his own essence, qi, and god three flowers have gathered in the mud pill palace, and only the five spirits of "soul, god, spirit, will, and will" have not been integrated.
Further comparing the differences between the five districts, he was pleasantly surprised to find that his five spirits had begun to integrate. For example, although the flowers in the south are mainly red, the red is mixed with yellow and white flowers, while the white palaces in the west are carved with red, yellow, and even blue-black patterns. Even the robes worn by the five spirits were not of a single color, and some places had been dyed of other colors. The most important thing is the complexion of the five spirits, such as the spirit spirit in the center, and the yellow skin already contains the five colors of the qi.
Ye Haotian watched it for a long time, and remembered the description of the Five Qi Dynasty Yuan in the "Five Ancestors of the Northern Sect Danjue": "The spirit of the five internal organs converges in the middle, and the spirit and qi are blended into a unified ......" After thinking about it for a while, he decided to use his mind to urge the integration of the five spirits. First of all, use a wisp of divine consciousness to invite the five spirits to the center of the spirit spirit's residence, make them sit in a circle, each person put their left palm together, and then attach their right palm to it, each urging their own vitality to converge in the palm of their hand, and then integrate it into the dantian. I don't know how long I sat in this cycle, but I saw that the color of the five spirits gradually faded, gradually turned into smoke, and then moved closer to each other, forming a faint human form, flying away from the Yellow Ear Island, floating across the sea to a larger island, entering a solemn and majestic hall, and becoming one with the Yuan Shen who sat down in the hall. At this time, the faint figure of the Yuan Shen became even more faint, only a little shadow remained, and even completely turned into a void for a while, and it took about a cup of tea to recover again.
Ye Haotian was pleasantly surprised: "I have finally completed the cultivation of the Three Flowers Gathering and the Five Qi Dynasty Yuan, and my skill has suddenly entered the end of the eighteenth layer of the real human realm's 'Wuji Oath Heaven'! Although the Yuan Shen can only stay in the void for a tea time at present, but in that tea time, I am already an immortal! If I can go to the next level, the Yuan Shen can stay in the void without limit! In that way, the Yuan Shen can be big or small, as big as dozens of zhang, and as small as mustard seeds. The image of the main body can also be modified at will!But if you want to transform into a tree or stone, you may have to go to the Divine and Human Realm or the Three Clear Realm. “
When he woke up from his meditation, he felt a sense of joy in his body and mind. Lan'er's cultivation had just come to an end, and seeing his happy appearance, he said with a smile: "Childe is so happy, it must be that Dao cultivation has made progress again!"
He smiled and nodded, "I'm more confident in lifting the 'Nine Yin Locked Soul'. But we'll have to wait, another month. ”
Lan'er leaned over excitedly and shook his arm gently.
Ye Haotian said: "It's been seven or eight days, it's time to go back to the county to take a look." ”
Lan'er smiled: "Okay, Gongzi will make overall arrangements, and I will always follow you." ”
The two left Yanhu Lake and walked slowly towards the county seat.
At this time, the crops in the field were basically harvested, and many people were resting and chatting in the fields. Listening to their hearty laughter, you know that this year's harvest is very good.
※※※
Half a month later, Ye Haotian's Yuan Shen stayed in the void for half an hour, and half an hour should be enough to enter and exit Lan'er's marrow sea. So he bathed and changed his clothes, prayed to the heavens, and asked the gods to bless Lan'er with safety.
Lan'er comforted him in turn: "Lan'er is not afraid, please let the son go." ”
Ye Haotian opened the crystal coffin, sat cross-legged next to Lan'er's body, his thoughts became extremely subtle, and a wisp of divine consciousness entered the depths of her marrow sea, and after a while, he came to the Yellow Marrow Island.
From the air, the situation on the island is very serious, the entire eastern area is covered with a layer of ice, the place where flowers should be blooming is now a dead silence, the palace where the spirits live is still there, and in the hall lies a girl in a green robe, her hands and feet are cold, her eyes are closed, and she looks like she has frozen. Although there is no ice in other areas, it is also very cold, and a few plum blossoms are sparsely blooming on the grassland, and the four spirits of God, Spirit, Will, and Zhi are not in the palace, and they constitute Lan'er's spirit body wandering outside.
In the center of the ice layer is a protruding place, like a small iceberg, and at the top of the iceberg is a silver bell, which seems to ring at the slightest movement around.
Seeing this, Ye Haotian completely understood, the Nine Yin Soul Lock turned out to be like this! The damn Demon Dao used the Nine Yin Cold Qi to trap Lan'er's soul in the cold ice field, and it was not warm for a long time, so it gradually withered.
He regretted it in his heart, and secretly scolded the demon of the Nine Yin Sect.
Seeing that half an hour was approaching, he no longer hesitated, flew through the air, held the hammer of the bell in one hand, and carefully took it out.
When he woke up, Lan'er was looking at him with great concern. Ye Haotian found that he really had a bell the size of a broad bean in his hand, shiny, and he didn't know what material it was made of. He didn't break the bell, just wrapped the hanging hammer in cloth, then dug a small pit by the lake and buried it, and turned back to Lan'er and said, "I have found the key to the Nine Yin Soul Lock, and I have to go in one or two more times." ”
After saying that, he settled down again, and the Yuan Shen came to the cold ice field of Yellow Pulp Island again, first entered the main hall to help Lan'er's soul up and sit down, and then slowly passed through a stream of yang and true qi from behind, and the true qi ran in the meridians of the soul's body, and the frozen meridians everywhere they went were solved, and it was not a long time, Lan'er's soul woke up. Ye Haotian continued to urge her power to remove the cold qi from her whole body, and after a while, the soul's complexion gradually returned to a faint cyan. At this time, half an hour had come, and he had to go out to breathe.
The third time he entered, he stood in the center of the ice field and released the "fire" seal in all directions. In order not to destroy the land on the island, he carefully controlled the fire, walking back and forth on the ice, and changing to another place before the ice melted away. The thick ice gradually melts and merges into small streams that flow into the sea of marrow. In the end, when there was still scattered thin ice, he changed the "rain" mark, and the warm rain fell from the sky, melting away all the remaining thin ice.
When he woke up from his meditation, he deliberately made a sad appearance and said to Lan'er: "I'm sorry, I've done my best......"
Unexpectedly, Lan'er smiled "hee", Yingying bowed down and said: "Thank you for the great grace of the son, the five spirits are connected, the love is like a sister, and we also remember the things that the soul has experienced." I will merge the four spirits into my body, and ask my son to be patient. ”
Ye Haotian laughed "haha". He didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly entered the meditation again, escorting Lan'er's four spirits all the way into the Yellow Ear Island, watching the souls hug them, and then returning to the main hall, and then turning back.
The time was not long, Lan'er in the crystal coffin opened her eyes, her eyes were as clear as the autumn water of Yanhu Lake, her white jade-like face regained some blood, became ruddy and crystalline, her skin was better than snow, she was extremely delicate, and her complexion was beautiful, and she could not be forced to look at. Ye Haotian was stunned for a while.
Lan'er sat up slowly, her hair draped over her shoulders, looked at him with a smile, and said, "Please help me out, I'm tired, I'm so tired." ”
Ye Haotian came to his senses as soon as he came to his senses, stepped forward and grabbed her arms, his hand was warm and soft skin, and it was no longer the ethereal feeling before, he was full of emotion in his heart, and his hand stopped. Lan'er glanced at him with a shy face, and said, "Please use some strength, I can't stand up." ”
Ye Haotian held his palms in the void, allowing Lan'er to sit on the bed lightly, and then hurriedly looked through the Qiankun tips and found a small piece of Ganoderma lucidum, some pills and a third of the bamboo heart left. He first gave Lan'er a tonifying and nourishing qi pill, which had a gentle effect and was in line with her current needs. The so-called "deficiency is not replenished", people who are too weak must be slowly adjusted, and cannot directly use large tonic products.
Lan'er took it and took it, only to feel that a warm current flowed from the dantian to the limbs, like the land that had been dry for a long time suddenly attracted canal water. She sat motionless, letting her meridians run freely and her skin to be nourished freely. After about an hour, the meridian qi slowly calmed down, and she raised her arm, feeling much more relaxed.
Just wanted to go down to the ground to move, Ye Haotian handed over another piece of Ganoderma lucidum.
She looked at Ye Haotian's insistent eyes, so she had no choice but to accept it again. This time the warm current flowed out of the dantian, and she hurriedly used her mind to guide it, first in the eight veins of the Qi Jing, then in the twelve canons, three hundred and sixty-five meridians, and finally returned to the dantian. Another hour passed, and at last everything was calm. She felt that her qi and blood had completely recovered, her dantian was full, and her skills had improved a lot, probably out of the category of ordinary martial arts figures, and officially embarked on the journey of cultivating the truth, that is to say, she had reached the first level of the first emperor Huang Zengtian.
She got up and walked a few steps, from the house to the lake, and stood on the soft grass. When the sun was setting again, the flowers were blooming beside her, the golden sunlight was shining warmly on her body, her face was more crystal clear, and her eyes were rolling with tears. Looking at Ye Haotian's concerned gaze, she couldn't help sobbing: "Childe, I'm so excited, I'm so happy to be reincarnated!"
Ye Haotian held the warm fragrance and warm jade in his arms, and he couldn't say the excitement in his heart, after so many tribulations, he finally hugged the complete Lan'er, and God treated him well! He patted Lan'er's fragrant shoulder with one hand, and comforted him in his mouth: "Okay, it's okay, you should be happy." ”
After sobbing for a while, Lan'er stood up, with tears on her face, and said, "I haven't played the piano for a long time, let me stroke a good song for my son." Sitting on the bluestone by the lake, he put out the guqin, twisted it lightly and slowly, and played a song "High Mountains and Flowing Water". Dozens of cranes flew from the sky, landed in the wild goose lake, danced when they heard the qin, and several thrushes stopped on the treetops and sang in unison with the qin.
After listening to half of it, Ye Haotian couldn't help but take out the jade flute and put it in, the two tones were in harmony, intimate, tender and sweet, and went straight to the heart.
When night fell, Ye Haotian lit the red candle as thick as a child's arm, and the hut was warm. Lan'er's face was red as if she had drunk a lot of wine, and she said in a low and intermittent voice: "Childe...... When...... Going to my house to propose?"
Ye Haotian "hehe" quipped: "The life of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, it seems that the gods don't need it, right?"
Seeing that Lan'er's face turned even redder. Ye Haotian looked funny, teased her a few more words, and then said: "What I want to do is a Confucian immortal, first Confucianism and then immortal, since I am a Confucian student, of course I want the order of my parents, and since I am an immortal, this matchmaker can be exempted." When the time comes, let's go to meet your parents together, and then marry you openly, do you think so?"
Lan'er said gratefully: "Gongzi Xie is considerate. ”
Ye Haotian smiled again: "What if your parents don't agree?"
Lan'er smiled: "At that time, I had to elope with my son, or if I die again, my son will rescue me." ”
