Fulai Inn, in a room facing south, there are several candles placed according to the position of the Big Dipper. "Elegant * Wen * Words * First * Issues" The candlelight showed a bit of black and blue, deep and dim. The curtains were tightly drawn, and the room itself was facing the sun, making it extremely dark.

Yun Qing sat cross-legged on the bed, a wisp of gray-black energy slowly flowing through his meridians. She is young and her meridians are highly malleable. At this time, using gentler Qi to broaden them little by little will be beneficial to her future practice.

It's a pity that the lineage inheritance of the Great Sun and Black Heavenly Wheel is definitely not gentle. It is more than enough to say that it is violent.

The Great Sun Black Heavenly Wheel is one of the top inheritances of the Six Paths of Yama Sect, and it cannot be taught to non-direct disciples. Even among all the inheritances of the Six Paths of Yama Sect, it is second only to the Six Paths of Inanimation Wheel and Yama's Breaking Wandering Wheel.

These three rounds complement each other, and cultivating the last three rounds together is a supreme skill. But because this lineage of inheritance is extremely dangerous and violent, there are very few people who start from the Great Sun and Black Heavenly Wheel.

When Song Liyou was collecting poems in the Gaya Dynasty, he used his identity to explore many ancient ruins. During this period, he had a conflict with a direct disciple of the Yama Sect of the Six Paths. He had been in Taoism for many years at that time, and he was bullying the younger ones. He could have let the demon disciple off after giving him a lesson, but he could not afford the accountability of the Six Paths of Yama Sect.

Although the orthodox demons are not allowed to do evil things and rarely conflict with immortal cultivators, their sect consciousness is very strong. It was a big deal for a direct disciple to be deceived, and the Six Paths of Yama Sect would not let it go lightly. No matter if he failed in the fight between his peers, since Song Liyou was the elder, the opponent would definitely come back to him in this situation.

Thinking of this, Song Liyou immediately had a plan in mind. He decisively killed the demon disciple and used a secret method to seize the inheritance from the demon disciple. Unexpectedly, he was noticed by the Six Paths of Yama Sect just after he took down the Great Sun and Black Heavenly Wheel.

It can be said that Song Liyou was also a ruthless person. He immediately destroyed his body and cut off the cause and effect. The Six Paths of Yama Sect and the Gaya Dynasty were separated by a world and several continents, and they could not react for a while. By the time they reacted, the line of cause and effect had long since dissipated, and there was no way to find it.

Song Liyou's soul used the astrolabe collected from the ruins to escape, and finally arrived at the South Wind Continent according to the astrolabe's instructions. Only then did he discover that the astrolabe of unknown origin actually recorded the divine way of the Palace of Parting. It's a pity that even his soul was in danger at that time. The Hungry Ghost Path spell planted in him by the disciples of the Six Paths of Yama Sect before his death exploded and sealed him under the mountain.

After more than a hundred years, Song Liyou slowly recovered and pried open part of the seal to build an Orion hut. He wanted to lure someone into the house to break the seal for him, so that he could enter the sacred mountain and rebuild the road. In the end, he never calculated that he would attract such a disaster star as Yun Qing.

Now the Great Sun Black Heavenly Wheel is also cheaper than Yun Qing.

Yun Qing slowly developed this black and gray energy. Immortal cultivators absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and then transform the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into their own vitality through the physical body, and then use the vitality and energy to nourish the true energy and strengthen the true energy.

However, demon cultivators are slightly different. They use the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to temper their physical bodies. When the physical body is tempered to a certain level, true energy is naturally generated directly from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The true energy circulates in the meridians for countless days, gradually grows stronger, and finally feeds back to the physical body.

Both are orthodox in monasticism, and there is no right or wrong. It all depends on whether they are suitable or not.

After Yun Qing's true energy was generated, it could be used to temper her body, which was exactly what she needed at this time. But Yun Qing has not done so.

This true energy is impure.

The pure energy of the Great Sun Black Heavenly Chakra should be as black as ink, swallowing light and soul. "Elegant * Wen * Romance * First * Issue" But no matter how hard Yun Qing tried, no matter how hard he cooperated with the dim environment, or the seven-star light gathering array arranged with candles, its color was always turbid gray-black.

"The state of mind is flawed, so the true energy is impure and the true energy is weak..." Yun Qing sighed in his heart.

The two most important things at the beginning of practicing Taoism are: the physical body is clean and the spiritual platform is clear. Yun Qing can use the method of "eating food and swallowing Qi" to make the physical body clean and even further temper the physical body. But Lingtai Qingming has never found a good way.

"Where is the mental obstacle..." The more Yun Qing couldn't solve it, the more he thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the more confused his thoughts became.

She knew it would be harmful and useless to continue like this, so she could only concentrate on practicing her skills and put this matter aside for the time being.

The gray-black zhenqi spread along the meridians, giving an unstoppable feeling. Yun Qing had to concentrate on making it calmer. This process is very dangerous. If you are not careful, your true energy will go astray and your meridians will be disrupted.

While she was working hard and concentrating her energy, there was a sudden noise outside the room.

"The scholar lived here yesterday, right?" Several rough voices were cursing.

"Let me in! I will never let him go!"

"Uncle, wait a minute, the guests in this room don't like to make noise! Wait..." It seemed that someone was trying to stop them.

The noise was approaching, Yun Qing did not dare to be distracted, and her brows furrowed more and more tightly.

"Bang!" The door was pushed open, but the restrictions on the door showed no response.

Several big men filed in, and one of them even stepped on a candle on the ground.

"Hei Bu Liu Qiu, what are you doing?" One of them spat on the ground.

"The boy who gave this wooden charm to me as money yesterday, please come out, don't think..." The man suddenly fell silent before he could finish his words.

Several others saw in horror that his body was slowly disappearing under the dim candlelight. His face was distorted by the extreme heat.

Just like an invisible flame swallowed him up from bottom to top, the man started from his feet and turned into ashes bit by bit. In less than a few seconds, the entire person disappeared out of thin air, leaving only a pile of ashes on the ground and a faint smell of burnt food in the air to prove that he had ever existed.

Before the other people could react, their feet suddenly felt hot, and the black flames instantly burned them to charcoal.

A huge black shadow of the sun appeared behind Yun Qing, and the shadow slowly faded away after these people died. She looked extremely pale, and blood began to ooze all over her body. The bed was wet, and the blood flowed to the ground and formed a small puddle.

The true energy is diverted, the meridians are reversed, and the internal injuries are severe.

"Song Liyou... You have really had enough of this life..." Yun Qing spat out another mouthful of blood and slowly opened his eyes.

—————

"How many sub-altars are there in the Temple of Heaven... Don't you feel tired after building so many?" Song Liyou was walking on the way to the suburbs.

Next to him was the clean Zheng Zhenzhen, and behind him stood Amang.

Zheng Zhenzhen explained seriously: "Walking in the Temple of Heaven is the foundation of the country, and the country's faith cannot be neglected."

"But people come to worship every day, how do you practice?" Song Liyou asked strangely.

Zheng Zhenzhen was simple-minded and didn't think too much. He told Song Liyou honestly: "The master of the sub-altar once told us that those who practice in the Temple of Heaven are human beings and are not the same as immortals. Naturally, we need to get along with these people all the time. We need to learn from the world."

"There are countless avenues in the world, but you are considered unique." Song Liyou nodded, "Then what is your inheritance?"

"Me? I practice Kunshan Jade Broken Jue, which is a branch of the Qianyuan Junzi Dao inherited from Lu Tiantan. This inheritance is relatively mild. Most of the outer disciples practice this, but at the beginning there was almost no self-protection. Power..." Zheng Zhenzhen said with some depression. It was precisely because she had no ability to protect herself that she was captured so easily by Song Liyou.

"Oh... most of the outer disciples are practicing this, and they don't have much ability to protect themselves." Song Liyou raised his eyebrows, and Zheng Zhenzhen felt a little uneasy.

"Senior Sister Yunqing said, you have to help me get back the letter bird secretly!" Zheng Zhenzhen emphasized the word "secretly". She was afraid that Song Liyou would come and rob her, which would end badly.

"Hey, she asked you not to call her senior sister!" Song Liyou looked at her with contempt.

Zheng Zhenzhen shrank, biting his lower lip, his face pale.

"Hey, are you scared? She's not here." Song Liyou couldn't figure out how someone as cowardly as she entered the world of monasticism.

Although the boy named Xie was timid, he was upright and not afraid of evil spirits. But the one in front of me has nothing but good qualifications. He has a simple personality and is timid and fearful of getting into trouble.

"I don't know what Yun Qing likes about you. Not only does he want to solve your troubles, but he also takes you to Jingdu." Song Liyou said disdainfully.

Could it be that... that guy's injury has really reached the point where he cannot be cured? This thought suddenly occurred to Song Liyou, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

Zheng Zhenzhen knew that he didn't mean anything good, but there was nothing he could do about it: "How do I know, but she told you to help me retrieve the letter bird, but you can't..."

"Shut up, I'm so annoying." Song Liyou scolded, "I'm not her hawk, don't always threaten me with her!"

"But you really have to obey her orders. I didn't say anything wrong. Why are you so angry?" Although Zheng Zhenzhen was afraid that he would take it out on her, she still honestly expressed her thoughts.

"What does the letter bird look like?" Song Liyou changed the subject rationally.

"Green feathers and red beaks, the human tongue can speak." Zheng Zhenzhen replied quickly, "But it can't fly, and it can only recognize one person in its life."

"So you use this bird as a token when you walk to the Temple of Heaven?"

"Yes, this time we were supposed to summon some young and promising disciples from the Ci'an City branch to go to Jingdu to participate in the Hundred Flowers Festival..." Zheng Zhenzhen said, seeing Song Liyou's sarcastic eyes, his voice slowly dropped.

"Hahahaha, you are also called young and promising?"

Zheng Zhenzhen's face turned red: "I, I was chosen by the altar owner to be the flower boy because of my good looks..."

Song Liyou laughed at her for a while: "So those women felt unconvinced and took away the letter bird? You didn't dare to go back to Cian City to visit the Temple of Heaven or the Jingdu Holy Altar after losing the letter bird. You could only live on the streets as a beggar." beggar?"

Zheng Zhenzhen looked so embarrassed that he was about to faint.

"Yes... that's it... that's right..."

Song Liyou didn't want to pay attention to her when he saw her, and walked forward while laughing to himself.

Suddenly, he felt his collar being pulled.

Zheng Zhenzhen couldn't reach his collar and didn't have the courage, so it could only be...

The roar of the beast penetrated the eardrums and vibrated violently in his mind. If he had a physical body, he would probably die suddenly from the roar.

For a moment, all the surrounding sounds became very blurry, and even Zheng Zhenzhen's high-pitched scream could not be heard clearly.

The sound waves seemed to be substantial and pushed the surrounding trees askew.

This voice is... Amon!

Song Liyou barely held on to his dissipating body, trying to escape from Amang's control. But he soon discovered that he couldn't mobilize his true energy at all in the hands of this weirdo.

He suddenly remembered that when he first met Yun Qing, Aman threw him against the wall. At that time, he was unable to resist at all. The Hundred Thousand Mountains are full of cruel and bloodthirsty monsters! Who knows what kind of monster this Amang is!

Amang's roar was sad and painful, one after another, and Song Liyou felt that there was nothing left in the world except his roar.

Aman raised his hand, picked up Song Liyou, and smashed him to the ground.

In an instant, Song Liyou's mind was distracted and his physical body was in danger.

Song Liyou took advantage of the fact that he had already withdrawn one of his moves but had not yet launched a new one, and quickly put up a blue light screen to protect his body.

During the stalemate, he saw Amang's eyes full of blood-red and frightening light, his mouth wide open, as if he wanted to say something.

"Ah...ah!!!" Amang's voice was dry and hoarse, not like a human voice at all.

Song Liyou was shocked: "Why are you crazy!?"

Amang opened his mouth again, and his voice changed completely: "Song Liyou, if you dare to do it again, I will let you be devoured by hundreds of ghosts and never be reincarnated!"

The voice was very childish and as calm as water.

It's actually Yun Qing!
