Chapter 1151: Spirit
Li Muran nodded and said, "There is really no need for the disciple to know. There will be a date later!"
After that, Li Muran left easily.
Master Xuanguang suddenly said: "You said that the old man used a doppelganger to cover people's eyes and ears, isn't Li Daoyou! Li Daoyou also didn't use his real body to show people, this body should also be a doppelganger of Li Daoyou's cultivation!"
Li Muran turned around and smiled slightly: "Hehe, what the master said is right, the master can't trust others, and the disciples can't believe it either." This is just a natal Gu worm phantom Gu that has been cultivated for one or two thousand years, because the cultivation time is long enough, it can transform into the appearance of a disciple, and ordinary monks can't see the flaws at all. But in front of a master like Master, he still showed a flaw!"
Master Xuanguang nodded slightly: "No wonder you have the courage to come to see the old man, it turns out that you also left a hand! Even if the old man kills your clone, it will not affect you much." ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, both showing a little helplessness.
Both of them were facing such a terrible threat as the immortal envoy, and they didn't dare to expose the true location of their bodies at will, otherwise if they fell directly into the hands of the other party, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Let's go!" Xuanguang said: "The transmission note that the old man handed over to you, you can keep it alive, and if the old man needs to meet with a fellow Daoist, he will try to inform you." ”
"Yes!" Li Muran immediately left the cave mansion here.
When leaving, he only needed to sacrifice a Heavenly Sword Talisman to cut through the void, and then flew away from the sealed space and came to the sky above the dense forest.
This Phantom Gu has been cultivated for the longest time, and it also has some of Li Muran's supernatural powers, so even if it is a clone, it has enough ability to use talismans.
The Heavenly Sword Old Man and the Sword Spirit were actually here, and they were obviously waiting for Li Muran to come out of the sealing space.
"Senior Brother Li, have you finished talking with Master?" asked the Heavenly Sword Old Man.
Li Muran nodded: "There is nothing important, so it will be over soon." ”
"What are Senior Brother Li's plans for the future?" the Heavenly Sword Old Man asked, "Senior Brother has such a cultivation at a young age, and the opportunity is not shallow, and he is also highly valued by Master. Senior brother's qualifications are dull, and he is only a mid-Mahayana cultivator so far, and it seems that only junior disciples can inherit the mantle inheritance of the master!"
Li Muran shook his head and said with a smile: "Senior brother must have misunderstood! In fact, Zai Xia is only a nominal disciple of the master, and until today, the master has still not officially accepted him as an apprentice. As for the inheritance of the mantle, it has nothing to do with the following!"
"Really?" The old man of the Heavenly Sword said in surprise: "Master has not officially accepted his junior brother as an apprentice? With his junior brother's qualifications and understanding, he is a rare genius, and it is a pity to miss it! Otherwise, the senior brother will go to the master to intercede and let him officially accept the junior disciple as an apprentice." ”
"No need!" Li Muran smiled slightly: "Everyone has their own opportunities, so you don't have to force it." ”
The old man of the Heavenly Sword wanted to persuade him a few more words, but Li Muran bowed his hand and said goodbye, and then turned into a faint light and disappeared into the sky.
......
A few days later, in a palace made of gold carvings, a middle-aged monk was meditating in an ashram.
This person's whole body was covered with a faint layer of spiritual light, and his body was like a cloud of mist, sometimes condensed, sometimes dissipated, and erratic, he was a Mahayana early stage spirit king of the Void Spirit Clan.
Suddenly, the spiritual light on the Spirit King's body flickered, his physical body condensed, and he opened his eyes.
The Spirit King stood up and said aloud to the door of the hall: "Who is the Taoist friend outside the hall, since the Taoist friend has the ability to break into here without knowing it, he must not be a nameless person, why hide and dare not show up!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the forbidden light of the temple door was suddenly torn through a crack, and then a black line flashed through the crack.
The black line turned into a figure in midair, but it was a mysterious monk wearing a black cloak.
"I haven't seen you for more than a thousand years, and Daoist friends are still in the early stage of Mahayana cultivation, and it seems that Daoyou's exercises have not made any progress over the years!" said the mysterious monk lightly.
"Who is Your Excellency?" the Spirit King frowned: "Inferring from the words of Daoyou, Daoyou seems to be the old acquaintance of this king. This king can't guess the identity of Daoist friends for a while!"
The mysterious monk said coldly: "A person who is about to die, why should he know too much!"
The Spirit King was stunned for a moment, suddenly remembered something, exclaimed, and said, "Ah, are you the Meizu monk who was repeatedly hunted down and killed by this king!"
The mysterious monk slowly took off his cloak, revealing a face that was quite familiar to the Spirit King, it was Li Muran.
Li Muran said: "Since you recognize it, there is no need to hide it." Back then, when you were instructed by others to send your subordinates to chase and kill you, I am afraid that one day, you will be found to take revenge!"
The Spirit King sneered: "Your kid has actually advanced to the Mahayana period, it's really a good chance! However, although the old man has not cultivated greatly in the past thousand years, it is not a waste of time, it is difficult for you to be a monk in the early stage of Mahayana who has just advanced, and you can defeat this king, a Mahayana stage spirit king who has been cultivating for thousands of years!"
Li Muran said lightly: "Whether you can beat the enemy or not, you will know if you try it!"
"What a big breath! However, this king doesn't have to entangle with you, you dare to break into the hinterland of your clan, so you can taste the taste of being besieged by all the Void Spirit Clan monks!" The Spirit King stretched out his fingers and flicked it, and immediately a fist-sized red spiritual light **** came out, and with a "bang" sound, it turned into more than ten spiritual lights, rushing towards the void.
As long as a spiritual light flew out of the hall, it would be enough to send a message to other high-level spiritual cultivators nearby, so that they could come and besiege Li Muran.
Li Muran was unmoved, and let these spiritual lights fly out of the hall. However, as soon as these spiritual lights flew out of the temple, they disappeared without a trace, and they could not sense any existence.
The Spirit King's face changed, and he suddenly burst out with a wave of vitality, and an invisible force surged around like a tide, and in a loud "boom", the palace was directly shattered by this invisible force.
After the palace collapsed, a huge black light shield appeared around the palace. It turned out that this place had already been shrouded in this black light, no wonder he couldn't transmit the slightest sound.
The Spirit King immediately stretched out his finger, and a brilliant spiritual light shot out of the air, like a thunderbolt from a sunny sky, pointing directly at the black light mask somewhere.
This was the powerful Void Spirit Clan's powerful Void Spirit Finger, but after this finger was struck, an unfathomable black hole suddenly appeared in the black light mask, and after that spiritual light was swallowed by the black hole, it disappeared. The black mask still covers the surroundings, showing no signs of breakage.
"When did he lay down this layer of dark attribute prohibition? I didn't even notice it!" The Spirit King's heart sank, this layer of prohibition was very clever, and it was obviously not something that could be arranged casually.
The Spirit King stretched out his fingers again, and a stronger Void Spirit struck out with one finger, hitting Li Muran.
Layers of brilliant rune aura suddenly appeared on Li Muran's gray robe, and although the Void Spirit Finger penetrated several rune aura, it was still exhausted and collapsed in the end.
The Spirit King frowned, it seemed that neither this black light mask nor Li Muran himself could be destroyed or killed directly in a short period of time.
"Hmph! There is a big battle here, and the movement is very loud, and the nearby monks will notice it sooner or later! As long as this king holds on for a while, it will be enough to wait for reinforcements, and then surround and kill you!" said the Spirit King secretly in his heart.
Immediately, he no longer attacked, but clung to the mana of his whole body, turning his body into a thick spiritual light, without any flaws.
After the high-level cultivators of the Void Spirit Clan turned into the body of the Void Spirit, they were not afraid of sword slashing, and they also had a strong resistance to various spells and magical powers. Generally speaking, if the sword power hits the ethereal body, it will directly penetrate through it, and the ethereal body will be almost undamaged, and if it is hit by a powerful spell supernatural power, the ethereal body can also transfer to the surrounding area to dissolve most of the power, and only absorb a small part of the power itself.
For the monks of the Ethereal Spirit Clan in the Mahayana period, the Ethereal Spirit Body was even more powerful. Because Mahayana monks can also comprehend a trace of special law power, so that the defense of the ethereal spirit body is stronger, generally speaking, the stronger the power of the law comprehended by the ethereal spirit monk, the more part of the magic attack it receives will be transferred and resolved out of thin air. A powerful Mahayana monk of the Void Spirit Clan, as long as he turns into an Void Spirit Body, can completely withstand the strong attack of three or five monks of the same rank without moving and be safe and sound in a short period of time!
Since Li Muran dared to break into the Void Spirit Clan alone, he naturally came prepared, he didn't waste mana and time to attack the Spirit King's Void Spirit Body at all, but directly waved his right arm and sacrificed a blue light.
This cyan light turned into a cyan vine, and the surrounding heaven and earth vitality was absorbed by this cyan vine in an instant, allowing the vine to spread and grow rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, the vine turned into a giant of dozens of zhang.
The vines rolled towards the Spirit King, and the Spirit King snorted coldly, not caring at all in his heart. The last thing his ethereal body is afraid of is restraint, because the ethereal body is not a physical body, it can change from the heart, and it can turn into an invisible aura at any time, so it is impossible for treasures such as ropes to trap him.
The vines immediately entangled the spirit king's ethereal spirit body, and the spirit king's heart moved, and his body suddenly turned into a thin line of spiritual light, and he was about to fly out of the vine's restraints.
However, at this moment, all of a sudden, the surrounding heaven and earth vitality turned into slender and tough green silk, and this wisp of thousands of green silks, if countless tentacles tightly grasped the body of the Spirit King, even if he turned into a ball of spiritual light, he would not be able to escape.
The Spirit King was shocked in his heart, in an instant, the heavens and the earth were all like this, he was completely surrounded by the green vines, and there was nowhere to escape.
What surprised him even more was that some of these green silks had actually infiltrated into his ethereal spirit body, which suddenly made the true yuan in his body unable to flow smoothly, and the mana and divine thoughts seemed to be sealed, solidifying little by little.
"This is the treasure of Xuantian!?" The Spirit King was shocked, this vine has such extraordinary magical powers, it must be some kind of clever law power, and the magic weapon with such the power of the law is undoubtedly the rumored Xuantian treasure!
No wonder this person dared to break into the Void Spirit Clan alone, it turned out that he was carrying the treasure of Xuantian, so he had no fear!
The spirit king's ethereal body, after being entangled and sealed by green silk, seemed to be wooden, and was turning into rotten wood inch by inch, first to his feet, then to his calves, and gradually his entire lower body turned into rotten wood, and his upper body couldn't move, and sooner or later it would be the same fate.
The Spirit King was shocked, although he struggled hard, but he couldn't get rid of the shackles of this Xuantian treasure at all, he begged for mercy urgently: "Daoyou spare your life, this king didn't really catch Daoyou back then, it's just a trivial matter, why should Daoyou take people's lives, do so desperately!"
Li Muran snorted coldly and said, "Originally, it was indeed a trivial matter, and I would not have come to take your life because of those past events." It's just that you happen to have what I need, and I can only blame you for being unlucky!"
"What's it? the villain is willing to hand over all his treasures in exchange for his life!" shouted the Spirit King. Seeing that his chest was wooden, he was running out of time.
Li Muran sighed lightly and said, "Unfortunately, what you need is your life!"
As soon as the words fell, the aura had been completely entangled by the Xuantian Ancient Vine, and the True Yuan of the whole body was completely sealed, turning into the body of rotten wood.
At this point, the Spirit King naturally did not have the slightest power to resist, and Li Muran sacrificed his greedy sword and directly devoured his divine thoughts.
Subsequently, Li Muran put away the Xuantian Ancient Vine, and after the green silk was withdrawn from the Spirit King's spirit body, the rotten wood body gradually became transparent, and finally turned into an ethereal spiritual energy.
Li Muran pointed five fingers, and an invisible force compressed this spiritual energy, which was quickly compressed into a transparent bead the size of a fist, and then held by Li Muran in his hand.
"This is the spirit refined with the high-level spirit clan primordial spirit. Li Muran muttered to himself: "The Treasure Mirror Spiritual Opening Technique used by Xiaoyaozi and others is really very complicated, and it is actually necessary to kill a high-level Spirit Clan monk specifically to refine the spirit and use it as a guide for opening the spirit." ”
Li Muran put away the spirit, and then with a wave of his robe, the black light curtain around him immediately collapsed and disappeared, turning into one dark attribute talisman after another, which was taken back by Li Muran one by one.
In the distance, it seemed that some Void Spirit Clan monks were rushing here, but Li Muran had already melted into the surrounding night with a flash of black light on his body, and then quietly left here.
Not long after, Li Muran had already returned to a hidden cave.
"Li Daoyou has succeeded?" In the cave, Feng Ming was waiting anxiously, and after Li Muran appeared, she looked relieved and smiled.
Li Muran nodded: "It's done." That Spirit King's cultivation was as before, and he hadn't made much progress, and he didn't know my supernatural means at all, so it wasn't difficult to deal with him. ”
Feng Ming smiled slightly: "If it wasn't for the Spirit King who sent someone to chase and kill him, I'm afraid we wouldn't have fallen into the encirclement of many parties, maybe my sister wouldn't have died tragically because of this, speaking of which, Li Daoyou can be regarded as helping Feng Ming avenge it." ”
"After so many years, haven't you let go of the things of that year?" Li Muran sighed.
Feng Ming smiled bitterly and shook his head: "The passage of time can indeed make people forget or let go of many things, but some things, some people, can't be let go of for a lifetime. ”
Li Muran was silent, he also had some things that he couldn't let go.
After a while, Feng Ming changed the topic and asked, "What are Li Daoyou's plans next?"
Li Muran pondered for a moment and said, "If you want to reopen the mirror spirit, you still need to prepare many treasures. And every treasure is not something that can be attained lightly. Some treasures, such as spiritual spirits, etc., still have a rough idea of how to attain the Tao, but some treasures have almost disappeared in the two realms of spirit and demons, and I am afraid that it will take a lot of effort to get them together. ”
"So next, I'm going to go around and try to collect the treasures I need. As for Fengming Daoists, it is best to meditate and practice, and strive to advance to the Mahayana period as soon as possible. In the future, I will also prepare some treasures that are conducive to cultivation or treasures of self-defense and give them to Fengming Daoist friends to help Daoist friends. ”
Feng Ming nodded: "Okay, Feng Ming will do his best and don't let Li Daoyou wait too long!"
"Thank you!" Li Muran nodded gratefully, he called Xiao Lei out, and instructed Xiao Lei to stay, firstly, to accompany Feng Ming and take care of each other, and secondly, to ensure that Feng Ming was not disturbed by the outside world when he was cultivating.
Moreover, Feng Ming is practicing the "Taixu Sutra", and when he cultivates Hinayana in this exercise, he will encounter a heavenly tribulation. Li Muran had a similar experience back then, and he thought that Feng Ming might also appear, so he left Xiao Lei behind, in case Feng Ming encountered a catastrophe, with Xiao Lei here, he should be able to survive safely.
After the arrangements were made, a few days later, Li Muran left the cave mansion again and continued to look for the next treasure needed to reopen the mirror spirit.
One of the Spirit Kings of the Void Spirit Clan fell, and the Cave Mansion was also destroyed, so this kind of major event naturally spread for a while in the nearby Immortal Cultivation Realm. Everyone speculated whether the Void Spirit Clan had offended a certain reclusive master to get such an end, and there were different opinions, but no one would doubt that it was a monk with a low cultivation in the Heavenly Sword Valley more than a thousand years ago. Only the Heavenly Sword Old Man and the Charm Emperor thought of something thoughtfully after hearing this rumor.
......
One day, years later, after a trade meeting between high-ranking monks, an old man and a cloaked monk met in a secret room.
The old man took out seven or eight treasures from his arms, handed them to the cloak monk, and said, "These are all treasures entrusted by the old man to be photographed by Daoyou, and it took a lot of spirit stones and top-level materials to exchange them. ”
The cloaked monk nodded, and he carefully examined the treasures, taking two of them into his bosom and returning the others to the old man.
The old man was stunned for a moment, and was about to ask, when the cloaked monk said, "These treasures are not of sufficient quality and are useless to you, so give them to fellow Daoists." As for the spirit stones and materials used to photograph the treasures, they will be handed over to Daoists in the next meeting. ”
As he spoke, the cloaked monk took out a storage ring that he had prepared and handed it to the other party.
The old man took the storage ring, and when he swept it, he immediately smiled all over his face, and thanked him for his success.
If the old man knows the clues, he can continue to search for the Taoist, and the honorarium only needs to be liquidated as usual. The old man asked.
The cloak monk nodded: "There are still a lot of treasures below, but in the immortal cultivation realm near here, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find." ”
The old man said with a smile: "There is no immortal cultivation realm nearby, you can go to other places to find it!" The old man heard that when the two realms of spirit and demon merge, not all of them are fighting and killing, and the high-level monks of the two realms of spirit and demon will take advantage of this time to exchange treasures with each other to take what they need. So, every time there is a big auction event. The old man can come forward for the Taoist friend and ask if there is any treasure that the Taoist friend needs. ”
"Auction event?" Li Muran's heart moved.
"Yes!" the old man said, "I heard that this kind of grand event, the high-level cultivators of the Spirit and Demon Realm will participate, and there will be many top-level treasures flowing out. ”
"A large number of top-level treasures have flowed out, and if someone kills people and takes treasures at this grand event, wouldn't it be a great gain?" said the cloaked monk with a chuckle.
The old man shook his head disapprenously: "It's absolutely impossible! This kind of grand event is usually organized by powerful forces with late Mahayana monks in charge, and the organizer will also contact several other big forces in advance to maintain order, who dares to make trouble recklessly!"
"Oh, when and where is this auction going on?" asked the cloaked monk.
The old man said: "The old man has not heard the exact news yet, but I believe that in twenty years at most, after the fusion of the two realms of spirit and demon is stable, it will be held." ”
The cloak monk nodded: "If you need the help of Daoist friends at that time, you will contact Daoist friends later." ”
"It's a deal!" said the old man, and he and the cloaked monk chatted for a few more moments, and then they said goodbye to each other.
The cloaked monk was Li Muran, and when the old man left, Li Muran flew to try his luck in a dangerous place tens of thousands of miles away to see if he could find a rumored rare spirit grass, and according to an ancient book, many years ago, that spirit grass appeared in that dangerous place.
In the past few years, Li Muran has been running around like this, hiding his identity and collecting the treasures he needs everywhere. However, among the top-level auxiliary treasures needed to reopen the Mirror Spirit, he still only found more than ten kinds, and there were still seven or eight that he hadn't succeeded.
Li Muran was flying in the night, and suddenly his heart moved, and he felt a golden transmission note from his arms.
"It's an urgent transmission note from Xiao Lei!" Li Muran was shocked, and his mind swept away, and the information in the golden transmission note was fully grasped by him.
"Oops!" Li Muran immediately took out the Instant Ten Thousand Miles Talisman, turned into a ray of light and disappeared into the void, disappearing in place.
Moments later, he had returned to the Hidden Cave.
"The master is finally back!" Xiao Lei saw Li Mu and said anxiously: "Sister Feng Ming, in order to advance to the Mahayana period as soon as possible and let the master get the resurrection of the hostess who wishes one day earlier, has been too demanding on the speed of cultivation over the years, but as a result, she accidentally went mad!" Only the Heavenly Sword Old Man and the Charm Emperor thought of something thoughtfully after hearing this rumor.
