It was midsummer, but the Tongtian Shenmai was completely isolated from the outer domain, and could not feel any changes in the sky.
The Shenyinmen Mountain Gate is located in the Beichuan Continent, but its core part, the Tongtian Shenmai, is just like the Demon Realm, forming a world of its own. This place is smaller than the Wudao Demon Realm, and it is composed of a heaven-reaching mountain that cannot be seen from the beginning to the end. Even the disciples in the sect don't know where the sky-reaching mountain goes up and where it goes down. Maybe it really goes to the sky.
The highest place that people have reached so far in Tongtian Shenmai is the shadow wall, and there are immortal saints sitting in the shadow wall.
Qingxuzi and Xie Yao rushed all the way from Beichuan to Tongtian Shenmai, and it took half a day just to go up the mountain. When the two arrived at the screen wall, they could only hear the immortal sage sitting inside sighing, "Hey, none of them are really useful."
Xie Yao thought he was talking about, so his face turned pale immediately, but Qing Xuzi acted nonchalantly.
The sage of the immortal way continued: "Ling Feizi is dead, so I prepared a Yin-Yang Tai Chi array for him in vain."
There was some regret in his words, and Xie Yao couldn't tell whether the saint was regretting the death of his personal apprentice or regretting wasting a Yin-Yang Tai Chi formation. In Xie Yao's view, the sage of immortality is almost the most talkative of all the people in Shenyin Sect. When Xie Yao gets along with him, his emotions are the same as those of ordinary people, but those who seem to be affectionate are often the most ruthless .
Xie Yao has been an apprentice for ten years, and he is somewhat afraid when getting along with his personal master. This sage of immortality didn't care how many disciples died, he only cared whether they got things done before they died. He doesn't even care how many people died with hatred in this troubled world, because he only has the whole orthodoxy in his eyes.
"You guys are stupid too." The immortal sage scolded in a very calm tone, "Dong Xuanzi..."
Xie Yao immediately regained his energy, and hurriedly said, "Yes!"
"I won't mention the matter in the southwest sea area. You go to the East China Sea for me, and pull the heretics under my command. Those who encounter the devil are not allowed to keep their hands."
Xie Yao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the sage of immortality say that he would not pursue matters in the southwest sea area, and raised his breath when he heard Donghai. Originally, it was Qing Xuzi who went to the East China Sea. The loose cultivators over there are different from those on land, and their strength is quite strong. Some of them are not inferior to the direct descendants of the Holy Land. If they can be dragged into the Shenyin Sect camp, it will be considered a great strength.
But the later "people who encounter the devil are not allowed to keep their hands" clearly refers to something. Qing Xuzi also said that he went to the East China Sea to intercept and kill Zhu Wuxia, and now he thinks it's his job to do it.
Xie Yao bit the bullet and nodded: "Of course."
The sage of immortality said: "What are you still doing in a daze? Let's go quickly."
Xie Yao flew down the mountain in a hurry, leaving Qingxuzi standing indifferently.
A quiet voice came from the screen wall: "Why didn't you kill Huang Quan?"
Qingxuzi also seemed confident in the face of accountability, not at all like Xie Yao, who panicked as soon as he asked, he said flatly: "The sage of the devil is watching."
There was silence in the screen wall for a while, the sage of the immortal way seemed to be thinking about something, and after a while he said: "Is Sheng Tianxiang also there, I can't blame you over there, I miscalculated..."
Apparently, when Qing Xuzi was sent out, the sage of the immortal way had calculated the secret, but he didn't know why he couldn't count the whereabouts of the sage of the demonic way.
"Yellow Spring is related to the catastrophe of the world, that one is naturally prepared." Qing Xuzi said, "It will be easier for her to get out of the realm of no delusion and demons?"
The immortal sage shook his head: "What can I do, Ling Feizi died in her hands, and now this Huang Quan is really unruly."
For some reason, Qingxuzi remembered what the sage of the immortal way said twelve years ago. At that time, he said that the ten sons of Shenyin would all perish in this war. Now that Lingfeizi is dead, it must be his turn soon. up.
"Master, did you ever calculate when I will die?" Qing Xuzi asked suddenly.
The immortal sage laughed and asked, "Do you care? I'll tell you if I care."
Qing Xuzi shook his head: "Needless to say."
"Don't ask about life and death," the sage of the immortal way said solemnly, carrying the vicissitudes of thousands of years, "You must have realized this sentence when you entered the Tao. Why do you ask me about it now?"
Qing Xuzi shook his head and did not answer: "I have some questions that I would like to ask the teacher to respect."
"Say." The immortal sage replied briefly.
"Twelve years ago, I asked Yu Shenxiaozi..."
"Master Saint." The Immortal Saint in the shadow wall interrupted.
Qing Xuzi said it again: "Ten years ago, I asked the sage of humanity. He said that before Taisu, one should not be an image. When Pang Hong became a Daoist, the world would give birth to Dao fruit. What he said was the creation of heaven and earth." .Cultivation is also quite similar to the opening of the world, but it is to seek a breakthrough in the realm. If entering the Tao is compared to planting the seeds of the Tao, and the small perfection is compared to generating the stems of the Tao, then what is next? How to cultivate the fruit of the Tao?"
The celestial sage said in a slightly solemn tone: "Oh, he talked about this with you? When the fruit of the Dao is achieved, it will be at the level of me and him. You don't need to know for the time being. Let's talk about it after breaking through the small perfection."
"The disciple has attained minor consummation for many years, and I just want to ask what is the realm after this."
"Go down." The Immortal Saint waved his sleeves, and his figure disappeared on the screen wall.
The white-haired young man stood in place for a long time, the fierce wind on the mountain ruffled his clothes, he looked at the empty screen wall, and finally turned and left.
There seemed to be someone sighing in the wind.
—
At this time, in Ci'an City, Nanfeng Continent, in the National Teacher's Mansion, Yuyue was holding a long sword and guarding nervously in front of Yunqing's house.
The National Teacher’s Mansion was originally ridiculously large, but later the Lutian Temple was moved here, and Huabiao was built. This place, which is both a humane military town and a private residence of the National Teacher, has been continuously expanded, and now it occupies almost half of Ci’an City. .
Yesterday, more than a hundred disciples of the Shattering Heavenly Demon Sect moved into the garden at the corner of the National Teacher's Mansion, except for Yun Qing, they basically all lived together. In the past few days, humanity has also provided wound medicine and the like, but it can be seen that the attitude is not particularly friendly. Before setting off, the lord of the Shattered Heavenly Demon Sect entrusted Yuyue and Sheng Jin. They put the safety of the Demon Lord of Huangquan first, and they basically stayed close to each other.
"Don't keep wandering around." Sheng looked at Yuyue helplessly.
Yuyue stopped, and walked again after a while: "I'm nervous."
Sheng Jin expressed his understanding: "Me too, especially after learning that Venerable Huang Quan had a problem with humanity."
Yesterday they thought that the sage of humanity was willing to help because Demon Lord Huangquan had a good friendship with humanity before, but they didn't expect to find out that this "good friendship" was actually destroying the altar of people walking in the sky after asking in the evening. Now the two of them couldn't sit still, and stayed in front of the room all night, nervous.
Qing Chen came out from the next door, he changed into a clean Lu Tian Tan sacrificial attire, and waved in front of Yuyue: "Lu Tian Tan is willing to accept me as a guest, you see!"
Yuyue glanced at him: "You have said this at least two hundred times since yesterday, why didn't you see that you were a chatterbox at first?"
Qingchen smiled embarrassingly, yesterday Yuyue's tone was not so aggressive, he asked Sheng Jin: "What are you doing?"
Sheng Jin wiped his sword and said, "Watch the door."
Qing Chen was about to say something when he suddenly saw Sheng Jin's hand clenched and his long sword unsheathed.
"Wait!" Qingchen was startled, but after a closer look, he found that Sheng was not targeting him.
A young woman wearing a pure white sacrificial attire descended from the sky. She had a pure and frightening will power, her eyes were piercing, and her expression contained deep compassion and benevolence. A long sword was tied around her waist, and her hands were folded in her sleeves. Just standing in place gave a sense of oppression to several people.
Just by coercion Yuyue and Sheng Jin can tell that this is a direct heir.
The man's eyes were bright and clear: "Don't panic, I'm here to deliver a message. My master invites you Huangquan Mozun to the altar to say something."
Yuyue and Sheng looked at each other, and both could see the worry in each other's eyes.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Le Shu, for letting me know."
Yun Qing opened the door and gave them a comforting smile. She turned to Le Shu and said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for many years."
More than ten years ago, Leshu stubbornly wanted to catch this man with her own hands. She asked the national teacher many times, but the national teacher never agreed. But now, when Le Shu saw Yun Qing standing in front of her, there was only peace in her heart, and she somewhat understood the meaning of the national teacher. Don't ask about life and death, don't ask about personal relationships, just ask for the Dao of heaven and earth, this is what a practitioner should do.
Le Shu also smiled, and smiled naturally: "Yes, I haven't seen you for many years."
The eyes of the two have never met, but they have the same peace and emptiness in their hearts. They are both people who can afford to let go. Under such a firm Dao heart, there is nothing else that can stir up ripples except for the truth of heaven and earth.
More than ten years ago, Yun Qing felt that Le Shu was quite similar to herself. Seeing you again more than ten years later was just like looking in a mirror.
She followed Le Shu to the altar in the center of the National Teacher's Mansion. Both of them were silent, but the atmosphere was indescribably harmonious.
"Here we are." Le Shu stopped under the altar and looked at Yun Qing.
Yun Qing nodded to her, then walked steadily towards the altar, and saw Da Jing Guoshi who was cooking tea on the top.
There is a small case in front of him, the tea has just boiled, the color on the celadon cup is like the clear sky after rain, the fragrance of the tea diffuses faintly, covering the smell of gunpowder smoke and blood in this war-torn center.
Yun Qing stepped forward to salute, and said in a respectful voice, "I don't know what advice my lord Saint wants from me?"
The national teacher poured tea and motioned to her, "Sit down."
Yun Qing stepped forward to sit opposite him, and didn't look at him, but just stared at the blue and white porcelain cup.
"Do you know the rule of not killing direct descendants?"
Yun Qing nodded, knowing in her heart that the national teacher wanted to talk to her about Ling Feizi before. No saint of any family would want a lunatic to kill indiscriminately on the battlefield. Yesterday Yun Qing could kill Ling Feizi, so tomorrow he would naturally kill a direct disciple of humanity. Yun Qing felt that the National Teacher might be on the verge of taking precautions.
"Then we must be prepared to be held accountable by the Tongtian Divine Vein." Unexpectedly, the national teacher did not teach her a lesson, but reminded her of this.
Yun Qing froze for a moment: "What accountability?"
The national teacher picked up the cup and took a sip, but the voice directly appeared in Yun Qing's mind: "Life for life."
Yun Qing raised his eyebrows, and the national teacher continued: "But I don't think Sheng Tianxiang will kill you, and he will probably play tricks at that time, just act according to the situation."
Shengtianxiang is the name of a sage of magic. Yun Qing listened to the opinion of the national teacher, nodded and did not speak.
"One more thing..." The national teacher paused.
Yun Qing asked very cooperatively: "Oh, I don't know if there is anything else to tell, and I would like to ask Lord Saint for advice."
"Hu Hanmei..." The national teacher paused a lot this time, "Your task this time is to kill her?"
The saints are very good at calculating the secrets of heaven, Yun Qing is not surprised that he can count the mission of the magic army, so he didn't hide anything, and said directly: "Yes, this time our mission is to go to Jiuming City Kill Hu Hanmei."
"Can you give me her...heart?" The national teacher asked, Yun Qing couldn't hear any special emotions from this sentence.
Yun Qing frowned strangely: "My sage has already made up his mind, why don't you want something else?"
The national teacher was silent for a long time, sipping tea without saying a word.
Yun Qing felt that she might have said something wrong, so she hurriedly said: "Thank you, Lord Saint, for taking me in. If there is anything else, please tell me."
"Do you have any questions?" The national teacher did not ask, but asked Yun Qing patiently if he had any doubts.
Yun Qingxin said that there are too many questions to ask, the first question is why you are so amiable all of a sudden. I can only think about this in my heart, but Yun Qing asked casually: "How is Hu Hanmei's strength?"
Unexpectedly, the national teacher replied seriously: "Much better than you."
Yun Qing: "..."
"You can't kill her."
Yun Qing felt that the national teacher's words were too contradictory. He asked Yun Qing for Hu Hanmei's heart before, and he seemed sure that they could kill Hu Hanmei, but why did he say "you can't kill her" in a blink of an eye
Wait... "You", you can't kill her.
A light flashed in Yun Qing's heart, and she suddenly understood what the national teacher was talking to her. She looked solemn: "Thank you, Lord Saint, for your guidance."
"No need." The national teacher looked flat, "Is there anything else I want to ask?"
Now Yun Qing also knew that the national teacher was not perfunctory, so after thinking about it, she decided to seize this opportunity to ask the saint for advice: "What is the realm after entering the Tao?"
The national teacher didn't seem to expect her to ask this question, but he still answered: "Before you enter the Tao, you can't see the Tao clearly. You must understand this now that you have entered the Tao."
Yun Qing nodded.
"Entering the Tao is like planting a seed in your heart. You can use this seed to understand everything. The more principles and rules you understand, the more this seed will grow. When you reach a certain critical point, you will not be able to Call it a seed again. At this time, the seed has germinated, grown, and the body has been formed. The moment the trunk of the Tao is formed, we call it the small perfection. When the trunk of the Tao matures, a new Tao can be bred and the fruit of the Tao will be formed. "
"And the stage of gestating Dao fruit is also the stage of harmony."
