Chapter 01: Three years
Jinju.
Among the five states of the Central Plains, it is located in the eastern state border.
In February, the grass grows and the warbler flies. In the realm of Jinju, there is a piece of Daze, which is a radius of 100 miles, the smoke and clouds are vast, and the blue waves are thousands of acres, creating a natural realm of heaven and earth. The ancients praised its beauty and said:
Yunmeng Tianze.
At this time, in the cloud dream, the moonlit night is vast, and the water and sky are the same color.
"Can the leader find out?"
On a pleasure boat in the middle of the lake, a man stood on the bow of the boat and asked in a deep voice. He looked at the sparkling moon shadow in the water, the black sleeve on a broken arm, swaying in the night wind.
Then one of his subordinates landed on one knee with his head buried deep in it.
"It's been discovered, it's the underworld...... Apostate day by day protectors. ”
"Silence?"
Hearing this, the man's face was slightly gloomy, and he raised his head to look at the sky, silent.
Seeing this, the head of the person behind him hung lower, as if he was afraid, but what happened next had to be reported. On the one hand, he is a cronie who has followed the hall master for many years, and on the other hand, he is a master of the temple who has been in the church for three years but has repeatedly performed miraculous feats.
After a moment of silence, a trembling voice sounded:
"Your Excellency, His Highness the Holy Son has sent an edict saying...... Says that Moon Shadow is in charge of this matter. ”
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a strong black gas gushed out from the man's body, and it suddenly rushed out, and suddenly the air was filled with fishy gas, and in the blink of an eye, the person behind him was lifeless.
"Hmph, if it weren't for a kid who made a ghost three years ago, how could that girl live to this day. ”
With a muffled snort, the man's face was hideous, and his anger soared to the sky, and the only remaining arm was raised slightly, clenched into a tight fist, "Now, it has bullied my head!"
The full moon on the horizon is inverted in the lake, sparkling.
The night is darker.
......
Fuxi Mountain.
To the east of Luoyanfeng Taiji Square, there is a large hall.
The height of its beams and columns, the width of the door wall, solemn and majestic, and the majestic atmosphere make the people standing here seem incomparably small. There is a huge plaque hanging in front of the palace, the three words of "Wuji Palace" are written on it, the pen is strong, such as a dragon and a tiger, it seems to be imposed on the Tao, forcing people not to dare to look directly.
At the beginning of chaos, at the beginning of heaven and earth, the universe went from infinity to Taiji, and then to the transformation of all things.
The name of Wuji comes from this.
Inside the temple.
At this moment, the first seat of many high-ranking elders in the Fuxi Sect has arrived. The one on the main throne who is dressed in a Xuanqing Taoist robe, with a white beard, is the real person of Yuxu, and there are four seats on each side of it, sitting on the first seat of the three veins of Jingxu, Purple Void, and Jinxu, and the void position is still empty, but there is a young disciple standing next to the seat.
On both sides below, there are more than a dozen elders, some Taoist and vulgar, some men and women, all of whom are extraordinary, or carrying long swords, or holding dust in their hands, or holding their hands on their chests, playing with Taoist yin and yang rings, all of them have a strict color on their faces, standing quietly.
"The lord of the East Lei Pavilion in Jinzhou sent a communication, saying that in recent days, Yunmengze has been infested with demons of the Underworld Sect, and he specially invited the righteous way of the world to send people to investigate together. What do you think about this?"
Yu Xuzi asked, with a slightly old voice, in the empty hall, it seemed a little ethereal.
As soon as these words came out, all the elders whispered to each other.
Since more than 30 years ago, after the confrontation between good and evil, the Underworld Sect, which broke away from the Dark Gate and stood on its own, has been hidden and entrenched in Jinju, but has never made any moves. The so-called "chaos for a long time will be cured, and if the chaos is ruled for a long time", of course they understand what the reappearance of the underworld religion indicates.
"What are the credentials?"
After a moment, the Purple Void Immortal Gu asked first.
"It's just speculation that the whereabouts of the Underworld Sect are strange and the intentions are unknown, and the intention of the Pavilion Master of the East Thunder Pavilion is to ask all the righteous sects to cooperate with each other to investigate. ”
"I'm afraid not. ”
As soon as Yu Xuzi's voice fell, he was a middle-aged and burly Taoist on one side. This person is Jin Xuzi, who traveled out a while ago and returned to the mountain not long ago.
He continued, "Since the establishment of the Heavenly Pavilion, it has been ambitious and vainly trying to dominate the Central Plains Righteous Path, and the Pavilion Master of the East Thunder Pavilion has borne the brunt. Such a move is afraid that it is testing the attitude of all the Central Plains sects in my country. ”
"What Senior Brother Jin Xu said is extremely true. ”
Elder Xuan seconded the proposal, "The Underworld Sect broke away from one of the three major halls of the Dark Gate, and fell into the name of 'anti-sect'. Previously, Changfeng found out that the Dark Gate had a comeback plan, and it was expected that it would definitely clash with the Underworld Sect. In this way, the underworld sect is attacked on both sides, and this change of change is probably something that the East Thunder Pavilion has created out of nothing. ”
Hearing this, Jingxuzi Gu Changfeng nodded, obviously meaning the same.
"What is the reaction of the Confucian Garden and the Fanyin Temple?"
The Purple Void Immortal Gu then asked again. What everyone said was not unreasonable, the 'Heavenly Pavilion' composed of four pavilions had the ambition to subvert the pattern of the Central Plains Cultivation Realm since its establishment, and at this time, a letter asked the major sects to send disciples, and there was indeed an intention to test the attitude.
And how can the thousand-year-old Great Sect Fuxi be driven by others.
"When Zen Master Liyin heard of the rebellion of the Demon Sect, he had sent disciples of Buddhism to it, and Confucius Yuan sent a messenger yesterday, saying that he had agreed to the plan of the East Lei Pavilion and would soon send disciples from his sect to Yunmengze on the grounds of training. ”
Yu Xuzi said it, and chuckled.
On the grounds of the "experience" of the disciples in the sect, the Confucian Garden not only retained the face of the head of the righteous path, but also did not fall behind the infamy of ignoring the common people in the world, which was really sleek.
"Does Senior Brother have a decision?" Jin Xuzi asked.
Immediately, Yu Xuzi stroked his long beard and looked at the young disciple next to the seat of Dong Xuzi who was absent, "Xuan Cheng, what did Senior Brother Dong Xuo say?"
"Master said that it is up to the master to decide. ”
The disciple known as "Xuan Cheng" bowed down and answered.
"That being the case, in the name of Fuxi's mastery of the sect, Poor Dao sent three disciples of the Jingxu First Lineage to Yunmengze in Jinzhou tomorrow to cooperate with various sects and factions to find out the true intentions of the Underworld Sect. ”
Yu Xuzi said loudly and glanced at Gu Changfeng.
"The long wind commands. ”
Gu Changfeng responded, Yu Xuzi had already discussed this matter with him. My own attitude, of course, is also agree. Qin Chuan and his party of three should indeed go to the outside world.
......
Time flies, time flies.
The white pagoda on the top of Luoyan Peak, at the highest point of this majestic and vast Fuxi Mountain Range, is proud of all living beings, and for thousands of years, it has washed away the loneliness and hustle and bustle of the world, and still stands there, never changing.
The first rays of the morning sun shine among the mountains.
The breeze is gentle, blowing clouds and smoke, lingering, like a fairyland on earth.
On the cliff above the Shoujing Hall, Qin Chuan and Ye Qiuqi sat cross-legged opposite each other, concentrating, and the sunlight poured on their robes, confusing.
At this time, three years had passed since they went up the mountain.
It is also the plain white robe, with long sleeves fluttering, silk hair rising with the wind, free and easy. The difference is that the childishness on their faces is no longer there, but is replaced by perseverance and calmness.
Long.
"Still haven't been able to break through. ”
Ye Qiuqi suddenly opened his eyes and sighed a little dejectedly. In his expression, there was less frivolity from a few years ago, and more steady.
"Me too. ”
Qin Chuan's temperament has not changed a little, he is still gentle and elegant, with a bit of open-mindedness and wisdom. Hearing Ye Qiuqi's voice, it also came out of the contemplation.
Again, quite disappointed.
At this time, the Wuji Dao Method itself had already cultivated to the peak of the foundation building period, but for half a month, there was still no sign of a breakthrough. Ye Qiuqi is even worse, he has stayed at this stage for more than half a year. The two of them met here today to see if they could get a chance.
But the results are obviously somewhat unsatisfactory.
As for Shangguan Yao, he had successfully refined his gods and returned to his void as early as three months ago, and had entered the level of the Yuan Infant Stage. And it seems that since then, after taking the Nine Flowers Jade Dew Pill, the cultivation speed is even more amazing.
"Why don't you go to Shangguan Yao for experience?"
Ye Qiuqi asked, it seemed that he was already a little anxious.
"I'm going to go, you're going. ”
Qin Chuan replied, "And Master has already said that this refining spirit is still void is to rely on your own understanding, and others have sued you for the method, but it is not of great use." ”
“......”
Immediately, Ye Qiuqi shrugged his shoulders and did not argue.
Refining and refining gas, refining gas and transforming gods, and refining gods to return to emptiness are the three refinements of Taoism.
Different from the cultivation in the foundation building period, it is to refine the mind and spiritual consciousness, melt into the true yuan, and finally refine the yuan infant, so that the next step of cultivation can begin, which is the cultivation program of refining the god and returning the void.
It is also the third hurdle of the Infinite Dao Method.
Moreover, there is a legend that there is also the fourth hurdle of "refining the void and combining the way", breaking through the Yuanying, reaching the Mahayana realm, comprehending all kinds of supernatural powers, and being omnipotent. However, that was the realm where Qin Chuan and the others couldn't even find anyone to look up to. Because, since the first generation of patriarchs in Fuximen, no one has cultivated Mahayana.
The Infinite Dao is so profound!
Shaking his head and not thinking about it anymore, Qin Chuan had some distress in his heart.
At that time, I had already expected that after cultivating to the peak of foundation building, I would no longer have any past experience to rely on, and the difficulties in cultivation would increase a lot in an instant.
However, generally speaking, even if a disciple with good talent completes the comprehension of refining the gods, it will take at least ten years, and even more, he will not be able to break through the Yuan Infant in a lifetime. Most of the disciples on this Luoyan Peak are only at the level of the peak of the foundation building period.
In this way, Qin Chuan was not too anxious.
After all, he has only been cultivating to the peak for half a month.
"Hey, you and Xiaoyan, what are you going to do?"
Suddenly, Qin Chuan relaxed, as if he had thought of something, so he asked Ye Qiuqi with a smile, "Your family is from the Central Plains Wang family, and she is also from a big family, when will you give a dowry?"
Speaking of which, Ye Qiuqi and Su Xiaoyan have known each other for three years, and their relationship has become closer and closer. Now that he has long passed the age of the weak crown, Su Xiaoyan has already reached the age of leaving the cabinet, and according to the etiquette of the world, he should indeed consider these.
It's just that it seems that Ye Qiuqi never mentions things at home, which is a little strange.
"You don't have to worry about my business. ”
Ye Qiuqi glanced at Qin Chuan, but did not answer, but asked Qin Chuan in turn, "It's you and Xiaoyan and her cousin, I saw the two of you playing the piano and dancing the sword that day, but you are very interested, what is the relationship that can't be explained?"
As he spoke, he burst out laughing.
"If you become with her, then I will change my name to brother-in-law. ”
