If you keep moving forward like this, can you really get to where you want to be
Yun Qing doesn't know and doesn't want to know. "Ya*Wen*Yan*Qing*First*" She moved forward because there was no way to retreat from behind, and she might die if she stopped for a while.
Although Amang is loyal, he cannot speak and his thinking ability is very low. There were many things Yun Qing couldn't explain to him, and she couldn't discuss countermeasures with Aman when she encountered difficulties that were fatal to her. All Amang can do is erect a barrier for her when danger comes, rather than help her avoid these dangers.
Among the other people she knew, Xie Yao was a mortal, an aristocratic young man who had no fingers in the water and didn't understand any conspiracy. Although Xie Yao has excellent understanding and excellent temperament, he cannot solve a lot of mess for her after all. He is far from grown up.
The Zhu Wuxia I met that day seemed to be a good person to ask for help. She has been among the cultivators for many years and has some understanding of all forces. More importantly, as a law enforcement disciple, she can also provide convenience to Yun Qing at certain critical moments. Yun Qing likes her bohemianness and her domineering way of saying that drawing a knife will draw blood. But Yun Qing was unsure of the Destruction Demon Sect's position in this incident. The demon sect all regards the sect as their life. Maybe if the demon sect breaks the siege and suppresses it, Zhu Wuxia will be the first one to take action against her.
There is also Song Liyou. That guy has a rather strange origin and is sealed near the sacred mountain. Although he lies full of lies, he does know a lot of things. That guy only has his soul body left, not even his physical body, but he can walk in such a place full of divine power without any hindrance. He must have a valuable treasure on him.
When Yun Qing thought about it, Song Liyou, the most unreliable person, was the most likely to become her ally. Both of them have ulterior secrets, are rich in treasures, and are desperate. Although there is no trust between them, there is no obvious conflict of interest. Maybe... if that guy survives in Shinto, Yun Qing can help him and get a good boost.
Yun Qing endured the discomfort and kept thinking about future plans.
"Amang, walk slower." Yun Qing covered her mouth and suppressed a cough.
Amang has a strong body and walks like a wild beast in human form. Moreover, the ground in the mountains was not very flat. Yun Qing, who was sitting on his shoulder, was a little overwhelmed by such bumps.
Aman stopped and looked at Yun Qing in confusion.
"That's all, just keep going..." Yun Qing smiled bitterly. There were too few commands that Aman could understand. Apart from some instincts to protect himself and her, there was a limit to what he could do.
After hearing this, Amang stepped forward again, grabbing Yun Qing's calf with his hands to prevent her from falling. He didn't know that this force was enough to cause damage to Yun Qing.
Yun Qing frowned and turned his attention to the surrounding environment.
Gradually, she discovered that there was something wrong with the route Aman took. This was not the route recorded on Song Liyou's astrolabe.
That's right, the reason why Yun Qing didn't care about being separated from Song Liyou was because she knew what the astrolabe recorded. If Song Liyou knew this, he would be frightened. The astrolabe is a tool based on the stars to find a balance between the changes in Shinto and the changes in the stars, so as to permanently record Shinto. "Ya*wen*yan*qing*first*fa" It is almost impossible to record the movement of thousands of stars with human power, let alone understand the various changes in Shinto.
But Yun Qing can. With the help of the Heavenly Book she stole from Shiwandashan.
The heavenly book records everything in the world, past, present and future. What exists, what has existed, what will exist. This is a legend passed down orally among cultivators. But only in legends.
To get something you must pay an equal price.
To obtain the Book of Heaven and understand all things, no one can afford this price. And if you can't bear this kind of cause and effect, you won't even be able to touch the Book of Heaven.
But in the long history, it’s not like no one has ever thought about the Book of Heaven. There are many crazy people, and there are also many people who want to go against nature. But no matter how many such people there are, no matter how talented they are, how brilliant and powerful they are, they all fail one by one.
The history of the Heavenly Book being suppressed by the Hundred Thousand Mountains is lost to history. No one can shake the power of the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
Yun Qing stole the Book of Heaven from such a top behemoth. Although she can benefit from the Book of Heaven now, she may die at any time.
"Amang?" Yun Qing pressed Amang's shoulder to signal him to stop.
Aman stood there with confusion in his eyes.
"It's okay, you didn't do anything wrong." Yun Qing comforted him while carefully exploring the surrounding environment.
The Book of Heaven cannot be carried by the human body. While Yun Qing integrated the Heavenly Book, he also had to bear the huge burden brought by the Heavenly Book. Every time she uses the power of the Book of Heaven, she must pay a certain price, such as her eyes. Now she cannot see, and soon she may lose her ears, lose her speech, turn into dirt, or die.
Yun Qing forced herself to stop thinking. She cleared her throat and said to Amang: "Put me down. I want to understand the surrounding situation."
Aman carefully placed her on the ground and wanted to reach out to help her, but Yun Qing didn't see her and walked to the edge on her own.
She knelt on the ground, leaned over and smelled the earth.
"No..." She frowned, "It doesn't match the stars."
There was a mysterious fluctuation in the Book of Heaven. For some reason, Amang did not listen to her instructions and took the wrong path.
"Now we're in trouble... Ahem..." Yun Qing's heart was filled with anger and she coughed violently.
Yun Qing used the Book of Heaven to get some common sense about the Shinto from Song Liyou. She knew that there was only one path after the death of the gods. But if he deviates from this fixed trajectory, Yun Qing doesn't know what will happen.
"Amang..." Yun Qing stood up, but was tripped by a vine and fell to the ground.
Aman's rough hands picked her up from the ground and placed her firmly on his shoulders.
"Is this a doom...?" Yun Qing did not ask why Aman didn't listen to her. She understood that with Amang's sanity, he probably couldn't understand anything.
Yun Qing smiled bitterly and coughed violently again. His voice was much hoarse than before: "What a pity..."
"I don't believe in any catastrophe!" She closed her eyes and smiled with incredible madness.
"Amang, just move forward... Since you don't know the way, just keep moving forward."
Aman howled, the branches trembled, and the fallen leaves flew.
"Even if there is hell ahead, I have survived."
———————
Xie Yao's body is undergoing incredible changes.
In the haze, countless mantras roared in his ears, matching his breathing. The jade Ruyi in his hand continuously emits white mist. This mist seems to be alive, changing into the shape of a galloping horse and slowly integrating into his body.
Xie Yao's perception of the outside world has weakened, but his perception of his own body has reached an unprecedented level.
He heard his own heartbeat, and blood was continuously pumping out of his heart, spreading throughout his body through his blood vessels, and then returning to his heart. The white mist seeped into his body and surged uneasily.
"Ah!!" He cried out in pain unconsciously.
Those white mist-transformed horses were scurrying around inside his body, wreaking havoc. Although he was in terrible pain, his heart gradually calmed down.
"Simmer the inner fire, tame the angry horse..." He recited these words silently, trying to calm down the restlessness in his heart.
Various memory fragments flashed through my mind.
He was very talented when he was young, and his parents looked forward to him. There is also the amazing scene of meeting Fairy Wuxia for the first time on the flower boat. He was detained in a small room, and his parents sadly said that he was bewitched by a witch. And he was composing poetry in his yard, but suddenly heard the name of his sweetheart. And that day the mysterious girl gave him the opportunity to explore the path to immortality.
Pride, vanity, bitterness, attachment, lovesickness, excitement...
All kinds of emotions surged up in his heart like waves, and then gradually receded.
The mortal fire in my heart was gradually suppressed, and the energy in my body became much more stable. Soon, when there was no fluctuation in Xie Yao's heart, those angry horses turned into wisps of white mist again, spreading over his limbs and bones, removing impurities from his body bit by bit.
Cleansing the marrow and cutting the bones is a necessary step for cultivating the Tao.
There are too many impurities in the mortal body, and the spiritual platform is also covered in dust all year round. If you want to cross the first hurdle in the immortal world, you must make your spiritual platform clear and your body clean. And just this step alone, many people will not be able to achieve it in their lifetime. There are countless elixirs and secret medicines that can help keep the body clean, but no external force can change the clarity of the spiritual platform.
Yun Qing is not wrong in thinking that Xie Yao has a good character.
It takes just a few breaths to simmer the fire in the heart and make the spiritual platform as clear as a newborn baby. This is already a genius.
In addition, the jade Ruyi in his hand helps him wash the marrow and cut the bones. I am afraid that in a short time, Xie Yao will be able to open the life gate and draw Qi into his body.
Xie Yao's breathing was long and gentle. When he opened his eyes, he felt that the whole world was completely different.
It feels like fogged glass being wiped clean.
He stood up and felt that his body was sticky and a lot of dirt had been removed from his body. This is the result of marrow cleaning and bone cutting.
Before he could fully appreciate the beauty of it, the stone floor beneath his feet shook, causing him to lose his balance and fall back.
Xie Yao waited until the shock subsided and managed to stand up. He was surprised to find a large amount of water mist coming out of the pool in the middle of the palace.
There seemed to be something tumbling in the pool, trying to break through the water and rush out.
As soon as this thought passed through Xie Yao's mind, the water rushed out of the pool and slapped him in the face.
"Pfft..." Xie Yao took a few steps back and wiped his face with his sleeves.
"Cough cough... cough cough cough..."
A familiar coughing sound came from the mist.
A strong and tall figure gradually came out of the mist, holding a thin child in his arms.
"... Yun Qing!?" Xie Yao shouted after seeing the two of them clearly, "How are you?"
He was answered by an increasingly weak cough.
Xie Yao ran over and found that both of them were soaked when they came out of the pool. Aman still looked dumb and stupid, Yun Qing was unconscious and held in his hands.
It seemed that the two of them came across the pond. Amang didn't know how to take care of Yun Qing. She was afraid that she had eaten the water and was weak, so she passed out.
Xie Yao panicked and wanted to see Yun Qing's condition, but Amang stood there at a loss and wouldn't let him touch Yun Qing.
"Yun Qing, Yun Qing, how are you!!" Xie Yao started shouting at the top of his lungs.
"… not dead yet."
Yun Qing finally reluctantly opened her eyes.
