Chapter 32 Refiner II
Yun Feng roared, and he didn't turn back, the long sword in his hand went from bottom to top, and his backhand slashed towards Yun Wuhua. As soon as this sword was raised, a thick yellow gas appeared on the top of the mountain, spiraling upwards and catching up with the waters of the River Styx!
Although the two swords did not fight, a long-lasting sound of gold and iron clashing sounded in the air. Before the aftermath was over, Yun Feng had already turned around, leaned back, almost parallel to the ground, and the long sword in his hand was also bent into a huge arc, the tip of the sword trembled and screamed endlessly, as if it could not bear the huge pressure. The yellow qi brought up by his sword was instantly submerged by the waves of the Styx, but Yun Wuhua also carried the waves of the Styx water over the heads of the two. This mighty sword was still unloaded by Yun Feng.
Yun Wuhua's sword was a hundred zhang away from the sword. She came like lightning, and the power of the sword had reached its peak by the time she was ten zhang away, and she completely disregarded her own safety, and the sword momentum was gone, and she was about to kill Ji Ruochen with a sword! Yun Feng's sword is weak and strong, knocking on the side, although it was almost knocked down by Yun Wuhua's sword, but it still led the power of her sword to the side, which was really exquisite.
Yun Wuhua obviously didn't expect that he would be useless, but he would never stop there. At this time, Ji Ruochen's true yuan was exhausted, and Yun Feng couldn't use all his strength, where would he find such a great opportunity in the future? Just looking at Yun Feng's sword just now, if he let him attack with all his strength, although he had the advantage of heavenly power, he would not be much sure that he would be able to defeat him.
Yun Wuhua hummed the Tianquan Ancient Sword in her hand, swirled, and slashed towards Ji Ruochen with the momentum of Wan Jun! She was an extremely smart woman, a sword was blocked by Yun Feng's death force, and she knew that he would protect Ji Ruochen thoroughly, so she neither attacked Yun Feng nor protected herself, but slashed towards Ji Ruochen with a sword.
Yun Wuhua's body was like the wind, circling around the small mountain top and constantly flying back and forth, and in an instant, he didn't know how many laps he had flown around, the long sword in the hands of the ancient sword Tianquan and Yun Feng couldn't help but hit falsely, and the waves of the Dao Styx River were overwhelming and pressed down on the two of them, the front waves were not finished, and the back waves were born. Occasionally, she would use her sword to attack, intending to nail Ji Ruochen to the ground with the Heavenly Power Sword!
In the midst of this furious sea frenzy, the sword in Yun Feng's hand was like a weak willow branch, swaying under the pressure of a huge force that could barely resist it, but no matter what, it was constant, guarding the three feet of the two of them without leaking. Even if Yun Wuhua sacrificed his life to attack, he would never hand her a sword, but he couldn't defend it.
Although the true yuan in Yun Feng's body was boiling, and he might collapse at any time, he had a smile on his face as before, and he couldn't see a little anxiety, as if he was not engaged in a life-and-death battle, but just gossiping and playing chess with an old friend.
Seeing that Yun Feng was so calm, Yun Wuhua was anxious in his heart. She suddenly abandoned the Styx sword qi, landed on the top of the mountain with both feet, and directly attacked with the advantage of the fierce soldier's heavenly power!
Although her attack was fierce and ruthless, she was still blocked by Yun Feng one by one, and this kind of tactic actually put less pressure on Yun Feng than the fierce attack of the Styx just now. And as soon as she was in a hurry, the power attached to the Tianquan Ancient Sword fluctuated a little, and as a result, none of these slight mistakes escaped Yun Feng's eyes. Yun Feng got this respite, and Zhen Yuan finally came up point by point.
After fighting for a while, occasionally Yun Feng was able to counterattack with a sword. He didn't want Yun Wuhua's life, but just severed his finger and amputated his arm, so that she couldn't fight anymore. And the timing of his sword is just right, even if Yun Wuhua doesn't care about his life and death, he can't hurt Ji Ruochen, so he can't ignore every sword of Yun Feng. Every time she guarded, Yunfeng's true yuan regained another point. Yun Wuhua became more and more discouraged the more she attacked, she originally thought that she had been practicing outside for many years, and her combat experience was far greater than that of ordinary disciples of famous families, so she chose to fight closely. Unexpectedly, Yunfeng looked simple and loyal, and her actual combat experience seemed to surpass her.
And although Ji Ruochen was powerless to fight, he could only sit cross-legged and not move, but he was not idle, and a pair of eyes looked at Yun Wuhua, and there was no taboo at all. Such a rude gaze also made her angry and irritating.
When fighting again, Yunfeng's spirit was longer, and the long sword was screaming, and the light gradually appeared.
Yun Wuhua finally knew that nothing could be done today, so he let out a long roar of anger at the moment, attacked the three swords wildly, forcing Yun Feng to defend with all his might, and then soared into the sky, and went far away in the blink of an eye.
Looking at the direction she was leaving, Yun Feng pondered for a moment before he said to Ji Ruochen: "This woman should be one of the five immortals under the moon, Yun Wuhua from the Unsullied Mountain Villa, but I didn't expect her to be so strong. Seeing that she is bent on killing you, even at the cost of losing both, has there been any recent holiday between you?"
Ji Ruochen didn't hide it, he roughly explained what happened, and finally said that in order to consume the strength of the Innocent Villa, he used the Bliss Needle on her.
Yun Feng nodded and said, "The Innocent Mountain Villa is my long-cherished enemy, what you did cannot be miscalculated, and your plan is far-reaching enough. It's just that there is one thing you don't know, and you should keep it in mind in the future. My sect has been established for 3,000 years, and the patriarchs of the sect are not only profound in their Taoism, but also all of them are eloquent and strategic, not only passing down many economic ways to live the world, but also leaving a lot of legacy to future generations. It is the abundance of our sect, and it is the real armor in the world. The few things you said that can crack the Bliss Needle are all extremely rare spiritual medicinal materials in heaven and earth, and I don't think there is any of them in the Innocent Villa. Even if there is, Mr. Forgetchen's temperament should not be used on her. ”
Ji Ruochen didn't expect this section, and said in amazement: "If this is the case, then the time of the Bliss Needle has passed early, how can she still be safe?"
Yun Feng frowned and said, "I don't know about this. But we need to be careful in the future. ”
When the two returned to Luoyang, it was almost dawn. When he saw the mansion from afar, Yun Feng suddenly screamed badly, and flew towards the mansion with Ji Ruochen at an accelerated pace.
Ji Ruochen had even sensed the wisp of bloody qi rising from the mansion for a moment. There is a trace of sandalwood in this blood, which is not the blood of ordinary people, but the blood of monks.
In an instant, the two of them had rushed into the mansion and rushed straight to the backyard wing. The trees in the house fell and collapsed, and it was a mess, and looking at the tragic situation, it was as if it had been washed by a flood. But where did the water come from around here? And the courtyard walls were still standing on all sides.
In the Dan room of the wing, two Daode Sect disciples had fallen in a pool of blood, each with a sword wound on their chests, which was transparent before and after, and the wound was slightly black, which had been eroded into a charred shape. As soon as Ji Ruochen saw it, he knew that these two disciples had been pierced by a sword in the sea of qi, and he was no longer lucky.
Yun Feng frowned, although he already had the answer in his heart, he still examined the bodies of the two disciples, and Fang Shen said, "It's Yun Wuhua." ”
Ji Ruochen was silent.
These two Daode Sect disciples were not weak, but they were also killed by Nayun Wuhua with one blow, and looking at the situation when they died, these two disciples didn't even have time to fight back. The remaining eight disciples of the Daode Sect, Long Xiang and White Tiger Er Tianjun were all in the camp in the south of the city at this time, and the mansion was empty, and they didn't want to be taken advantage of by Yun Wuhua.
Ji Ruochen suddenly remembered that Ji Tianxia was also in the mansion, screamed badly, and immediately rushed to his residence.
Along the way, everyone in the house was injured and cried, but they hadn't seen anyone dead. I think that although Yun Wuhua was angry, he didn't bother to do anything to such subordinates.
The walls of the side houses where Ji Tianxia lived were destroyed, and the house also fell with a gable. Ji Ruochen was anxious, so he directly slammed open the door and rushed into the house. He raised his eyes and looked around, but when he saw that the tables and chairs in the room were collapsed and destroyed, and the pen, ink and books were scattered all over the place, how could there be a shadow of helping the world? Just when his heart was a little wider, suddenly the wardrobe in the corner of the house trembled.
Ji Ruochen was startled at first, but in a blink of an eye, he already understood, stepped forward and opened the cabinet door, and sure enough, Jitianxia was hiding in it and trembling. He didn't bring the four treasures of the study room and the subset of scriptures and histories, and only held a heavy bag of silver firmly in his arms. Ji Tianxia saw that it was Ji Ruochen, so he trembled and crawled out of the cupboard, and just asked, "Is the strongman gone?"
Ji Ruochen saw that he was not injured, so he put his mind at ease, hurriedly helped him sit down, and said happily: "Mr. is fine! ”
The world was shocked, and when he ascended, he held his head high, and acted like a gentleman, not being bent by the strong beam, and said loudly: "The dignified thousand-year-old Eastern Capital, in broad daylight, it is a strong man who runs rampant and harms people's lives, is there still a law of heaven and king?"
Ji Ruochen couldn't cry or laugh, so he had to say, "Mr. is right." ”
Next, the mansion will clean up the ruins and treat the wounded, and Yunfeng will also use Taoism to make ice and seal the bodies of the two fellow disciples to transport them back to Xixuanshan. So it was busy, and when the dust settled, it was already the time to hold the lights. At this time, a doorman came to report, and said that Li An had an invitation, and asked Ji Ruochen to go to the palace as soon as possible.
It turned out that during this time, Ji Ruochen was busy using Dao techniques to join forces, and Li An was not idle. He was considered strong among the kings, and he was active in many ways in the court, and finally found the way to Gao Lishi. At that time, Sun Guo had offered three ice toads and Zhu Yudan with the function of prolonging life to the Ming Emperor, and the Ming Emperor had a miraculous effect after taking it, and he worshiped Sun Guo as a half-master and gave him the name of the national teacher. Gao Lishi saw it, and also privately asked Sun Guo for the ice toad Zhu Yudan, but Sun Guo said that this pill was rare and could not be easily dealt with, so he refused. Li An knew that Gao Li's morale was small, and he couldn't stand idleness, so he would definitely seek revenge. Therefore, under the temptation of every possible means, Gao Lishi finally loosened his tone and said that he could make a few words for Li An in front of the Ming Emperor.
As soon as Li An got the news, he immediately came to Ji Ruochen. The enemy of the Daode Sect carved only a true martial arts concept, Yang Guozhong seemed to be attached to Sun Guo, but no one knew what he was actually thinking about. If you can get the help of Gao Lishi this time, you can at least win back a game in the temple battle, unlike before, there was no one who was willing to say a word for Dao Daozong in front of the Ming Emperor. And with the strength of the Daode Sect, it is not difficult to replace the True Martial Arts Concept and become the state religion, but at present, the key is whether the real people of the Daode Sect are willing to deploy more people for this purpose, otherwise it is really impossible for Ji Ruochen and a few others to overwhelm the True Martial Arts. The second is how to let Emperor Ming know the strength of the moral sect. After all, there are certain rules in the temple, and you can't come wantonly.
Ji Ruochen only knew a little about the rules of the court, and after coming out of the Luoyang Palace, he immediately returned to the palace to find someone to discuss some countermeasures.
"What's so hard about such things?"
Ji Tianxia sneered, opened the folding fan with a brush, made a full gesture, and said: "Just come to a few battles in front of the palace, won't the overall situation be decided?"
Ji Ruochen and Yun Feng looked at each other, and they both felt a little incredible. The purpose of cultivating the Tao is only to ascend to the feather, and it has fallen behind in fighting with others, not to mention fighting in front of the palace, isn't that no different from a play? But if you think about it carefully, this move is really very feasible. Emperor Ming was very lively, and he said with one heart, he heard that there were two great sects willing to fight in front of the palace, and he would not miss it, and at that time, no matter how Sun Guo found an excuse, he couldn't shirk it.
As for the fighting method, the victory or defeat is not on Ji Ruochen and Yunfeng. In the battle of Luoyang, Sun Guo's Taoism has been clearly displayed, any real person can steadily subdue him, and in terms of disciples, Zhenwuguan is definitely not an opponent of the Daode Sect with many talents. It seems that a second-rate sect like Zhenwuguan, if it hadn't climbed to the imperial court, how could there be room for fighting with the Daode Sect?
If he was defeated in the battle in front of the palace, what kind of face would Sun Guo have to hang on to the post of national teacher? At that time, since he should have been taken over by a member of the Daode Sect who had displayed his might, it was possible to take over the industry of the True Martial Arts Temple by the way, and it could be said that he would win without bloodshed.
As soon as the four words of the fighting method in front of the palace came out, they immediately bypassed all the strengths of the True Martial Arts Temple, making the two sides have to fight each other with their real skills, which is really to the point.
That Sun Guo is not a stupid person, and he has to do everything possible to prevaricate. is the key to this, and it falls on Colliers.
Yun Feng and Ji Ruochen are not stupid people, and after a little thought, they have figured out the joints. Asking Colliers to help is as simple as doing what he likes and providing what he needs, but the two of them know almost nothing about Colliers, let alone know what he is good about and what he needs. It seems that if you don't go to Ang Lee, you have to ask this self-proclaimed person who knows the current affairs of the world.
Before Ji Ruochen opened his mouth to inquire, Ji Tianxia folded a fan and talked about all kinds of anecdotes about Gaolis. At the beginning of this one, he couldn't hold it back. From Gao Lishi's daily start and rest hours, daily hobbies and habits, to how he helps which palace concubines compete for favor, which prince he helps to invite merit, and even what color he likes, and what kind of tricks he likes to use to torture the palace maids behind his back.
When it comes to the place of rise, the world is full of sound and color, and the mouth is foaming. That kind of unbelievable thing, Ji Ruochen was stunned when he heard it. What Ji Tianxia said is so ridiculous, but when you think about it, it seems that you can't completely deny that these things don't exist. It's just that I don't know these anecdotes, how did the world know?
It wasn't until half an hour later that Ji Tianxia had already said that there was smoke in his mouth, and he had to say: "That's about it." ”
Seeing his unfinished appearance, Ji Ruochen was afraid that he would say another half an hour, so he thanked him and left the room with Yunfeng.
As soon as he walked out of the room, Ji Ruochen felt refreshed, and the roar in his ears disappeared. As a cool night breeze blew, his bones seemed to light a little. When Ji Ruochen looked at Yunfeng again, he saw that he was also relieved, and he couldn't help but sigh.
"Senior Brother Yunfeng, what do you think of this helping the world?" asked Ji Ruochen.
Yun Feng pondered for a long time, and said: "Although this person seems to be unruly, he is really talented. It's a blessing that you have this person to help you. It's just that I don't know what his heart is, it is said that with his talent, it is not difficult to enter the general, why is he so downcast?"
Ji Ruochen said: "I'm also puzzled. Senior Brother Yunfeng, do you think this person is a hidden cultivator?"
Yun Feng shook his head and said, "I can't see the slightest bit of True Yuan Aura from him, he shouldn't be a cultivator." But I think that most of these talented people are crazy about sex, and they probably disdain to be officials......"
Speaking of this, Yun Feng paused, and always faintly felt that there was something wrong with this world, but what was wrong was completely unspeakable. He simply put these aside and said to Ji Ruochen: "Ruochen, the matter of fighting in front of the palace, wait for me to talk about the real people." You have lost too much true yuan today, so go back to the room to cultivate and make up for the true yuan first. You don't have to take the matter of natal weapons to heart first, real people have the ability to reach the heavens, and they will definitely be able to solve this matter for you. ”
Ji Ruochen responded and went back to the room by himself.
In the middle of the night, in the quiet room, Ji Ruochen, who was sitting cross-legged and meditating, suddenly opened his eyes and opened his mouth to spit out a bronze tripod. This small tripod is exquisite, although it is small, but if you look closely, the patterns on the tripod and the words that seem to be seals are all in your eyes. The bronze tripod floated in the air, scattering a faint blue light, reflecting that Ji Ruochen's face was also a green and gloomy piece.
Ji Ruochen's heart moved slightly, and the bronze tripod really turned around slowly.
Ji Ruochen was originally a guess in his heart, but this moment has confirmed a few points. Could it be that this is his natal weapon? It is precisely because of it that he can no longer refine other magic weapons?
However, this is clearly a bronze tripod that has been abandoned for a long time in the Taishang Daode Palace! Although the Ding Qi is unexpectedly abundant, it is mostly due to the fact that it has absorbed the aura in the Taishang Daode Palace over time. If this Ding was really some kind of magic weapon, how could he have thrown it indiscriminately in a deserted alley and covered with dust? Besides, with his modest deeds at the time, even if he could see it a little, wouldn't he have to force him to explode and die on the spot?
Therefore, Ji Ruochen has never taken this bronze tripod into a surplus of Ding Qi seriously, he only thinks that it is the right size, the control is as good as expected, and it is best to use it for cooking medicine and alchemy.
However, Ji Ruochen suddenly remembered that when he faced the three great monks of Nanshan Temple in Luoyang that day, he spewed out this tripod in desperation, but he didn't expect to break the other party's world-famous body protection Zen Gong in one fell swoop. Thinking of this, I can't help but be a little impressed by this bronze tripod. And the more he thought about the fate of the Chaos Thunder Dragon, the more he wondered, could it be that the spirit of the Thunder Dragon was eliminated by this copper tripod? If this is the case, this tripod is really not trivial.
But the origin of this tripod is very disgraceful, once it is explained, most of them will lead to the dissociation secret, it is because Ji Ruochen hesitated again and again at that time, and finally did not confide the secret of this tripod to Yunfeng.
Ji Ruochen looked at this copper tripod repeatedly, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that the patterns on the tripod seemed to be words one by one, and it looked seven or eight points similar to the words that constituted the dissociation immortal formula. There are also five larger characters engraved on the tripod, and the position should be the name of the tripod. It's just that the meaning in the text of the dissociation immortal recipe is to appear in his divine consciousness by itself, and the words on this copper dingding are unrecognizable. Ji Ruochen suddenly had an idea, took the pen and paper, copied the five words on the paper, and copied more than a dozen words at random, disrupting the order, preparing to ask the omniscient Jitian, maybe he could ask something.
In the early morning of the second day, Ji Ruochen dragged Ji Tianxia out of the bed, and said with a smile that he wanted to ask him for words. Ji Tianxia's face was not good at the beginning, but when he saw the big silver ingot handed over by Ji Ruochen, he smiled and said that you are a kid and a child who can be taught, and you are not buried in cultivating those fairies, ghosts, and strange powers all day long, and you can also know the way of yearning for saints.
When Ji Tianxia came to the study, Ji Ruochen had already attached several pieces of silk paper to the table. Faced with the three big characters on the first silk paper, Ji Tianxia did not recognize the words, and first commented on Ji Ruochen's calligraphy for a long time.
Although Ji Ruochen has not practiced calligraphy much, as Zhenyuan's cultivation grows, the characters in his pen gradually change. There was a hint of immortal aura in those words, and there was indeed something different about it. But Ji Tianxia only commented on calligraphy but did not recognize words, and slowly Ji Ruochen realized that something was wrong.
Jitian's face turned red, knowing that he couldn't get through the trick, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know these three words." ”
Ji Ruochen smiled and uncovered the silk paper. Ji Tianxia no longer considered the issue of calligraphy this time, just stared at the two words on the paper, looked at it for a long time, and suddenly slapped his thigh, and said: "I know! These words are the words used in the prayer for the sacrifice to the heavens when Jiang Shang and Jiang Ziya summoned the immortal soldiers and heavenly generals in the previous dynasty! It's a pity that the old ghost is too selfish and never wants to give these words to others." After his death, these ancient texts lost their meaning. Fortunately, I know the history of the previous dynasty well, and I still know these two words. One is the text, the other is ...... The other should be the word for a mountain. ”
Next, a few pieces of silk paper were turned over, and Ji Tianxia recognized the six characters of river, king, sun, moon, Xuan, and Qing, but eleven words were illiterate. He stared at the last word, his face flushed, Fang gritted his teeth and said, "This is ...... This is the pot...... No, it's Ding...... It's a pot!"
Suddenly, out of nowhere, there was a sound of gold and stone in the study, and when Ji Tian boarded, two nosebleeds dripped down, staining the silk paper.
Ji Ruochen was taken aback, and while helping the world to sit down and rest, he sorted out the order in his heart, and secretly thought: "Wenwang Shanhe Ding is a good name." ”
It was a surprise that the world was able to recognize these many words. Ji Ruochen had the heart to ask the words engraved on Ding's body one by one, even if he only knew three or four out of ten, it was a big gain. It's just that today it seems that the world is tired and ruthless, so it's hard to ask again. Anyway, it's still a long time, and I'll ask slowly in the future.
As soon as he came out of the courtyard of the world, Yunfeng suddenly came in a hurry, and when he saw Ji Ruochen, he said: "Ruochen, the real people have orders." ”
It turned out that Yunfeng had just gotten the news, and Ziyang Zhenren ordered him and Ji Ruochen to set off immediately and rush to Chang'an to lobby Gao Lishi, so that he could have a showdown with that true martial arts in front of the Ming Emperor's Palace.
