Fairy Bai Su of Wanjian Sect couldn't help being speechless.
Is he still drinking
Do you want to use wine to cheer you up
However, she was definitely overthinking this.
Xia Ji didn't have any thoughts.
If we talk about appearance, Fairy Bai Su is also extremely beautiful. After all, she is the most beautiful member of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect who stands above the mortal realm.
When it comes to love history, Fairy Bai Su has never been in love.
In terms of body and temperament, it is also the best choice. Even in the eyes of outsiders, Bai Subi is not much worse than Miao Miao, but when it comes to body shape, it is even better.
But Xia Ji still had no intention.
The only thing he occasionally thinks of is his late wife, the woman who has been with him for five hundred years and made him miss him for a thousand years. No matter how good or beautiful the other women are, what does it have to do with him
Soon, Bai Su also realized that she was overthinking. As she got along with him, she finally understood that these seventeenth princes were more gentlemen than gentlemen. Bai Su even suspected that even if she stripped naked and got into his tent in the middle of the night, he would be the same. He would wrap himself in a blanket without touching himself at all.
After getting acquainted with each other, the relationship between the two became less awkward.
Three days passed in a flash.
According to the past, things should have calmed down in Xiaoshanhe Ruins.
Bai Su took out a small bottle, which contained seven "Bigu Pills", each of which could last for a month.
A famous flying sword-level sword can kill and chop without the problem of the blade curling at every turn.
A blood-red metal ball the size of a fingertip. This ball is called "Hidden Pill". It is said that it contains the full blow of the Demon Lord two hundred years ago. To use it, you only need to mix this pill with your own power and blast it out. You can add the Demon Lord and your own double power.
Hidden elixirs are a new thing in the Reiki era. Xia Ji has never seen this thing before, and he doesn't know the upper limit.
However, if Bai Su was given to him, he would keep it temporarily and return it to the girl when it came out.
after…
Bai Su is there to help.
At the same time, she repeatedly explained a few points.
"If you feel something is wrong, you must go out immediately. Don't show off."
"If you feel that the robbery demon is coveting you, you must come out immediately and do not try to fight against the robbery demon.
Thousands of years ago, the Tribulation Demons were in constant confrontations. After being beaten to pieces, someone would keep watching and beating them, causing their spiritual energy to disperse and unable to form powerful monsters.
However, in this small closed world, the robbery monsters become stronger by annexing each other. Although there are often disciples practicing in it, most of them just take the energy of heaven and earth on the cliff to gain enlightenment. They are not with them. Fighting demons.
Therefore, after more than five hundred years, this small world has no idea what level of mountain and river tribulation monsters it has given birth to.
In short, once you reach the peak of the Twelve Realms, no one will want to go in again. "
"No matter what, you must come out once in half a year. Half a year is enough time to complete the connection between heaven and human spiritual energy. If you are talented enough, you may even break through the twelve realms.
After you go out, I will take you to Wanjian Sect. The sect leader may have other arrangements. "
"The sect also hides many insights from predecessors' cultivation and methods of dealing with the tribulation monsters. After you refer to them, you can get twice the result with half the effort and save time."
Xia Ji agreed and stepped directly into the small mountain and river ruins.
Bai Su watched the ripples in the space in front of him gradually calm down, then sat cross-legged and began to practice karma in a dream.
In fact, the reason why she brought Xia Ji here was because of the secret instruction of the leader of Wanjian Sect.
…
…
Xia Ji came to the cliff and looked at the vast mountains and rivers that had calmed down in the distance. This was completely different from what he saw three days ago.
What's more, there is no sign of the fission of mountains and rivers happening here at all. All the trees are extremely luxuriant. Looking down from a high place, you can see a peaceful scene that has never been damaged.
He just sat down cross-legged.
Entered into some kind of meditative state.
After a long time, he has been immersed in this spiritual world, where heaven and man are one.
The energy of heaven and earth slowly penetrated into his pores.
Every trace.
Thousands of clues.
Like a gurgling stream, it began to flow along the blood between his skin and bones.
Water flows downwards, while air flows upwards.
Therefore, this much spiritual energy gradually moved towards the Zi Mansion between the eyebrows through the transportation of blood. At first, it could not be stored at all, but could only be constructed.
The spiritual energy hits the unexplored and desolate Zifu, and washes away all the blockages belonging to ordinary people.
Just like a drop of water penetrating a stone, every time the Qi merges, it will carry some "impurities" with it.
Xia Ji felt relaxed both physically and mentally, and gradually and completely integrated into this world.
The reason why it is necessary to reach the Dharmakaya state is because the blood of the Dharmakaya will be powerful. Only such blood can carry enough spiritual energy...
Although Xia Ji was unable to bring the entire calamity here, his body could still assume a weakened version of the dharma body state.
His Dharmakaya is himself.
After an initial short trial.
He revealed his Dharma Body, and the power of his blood began to move more spiritual energy, making him a "floor drain."
The spiritual energy slowly swirled towards him like water, turning into a whirlpool.
Gradually, the spiral arms of the spiritual energy vortex gradually become longer and the rotation speed gradually became faster.
Xia Ji was immersed in it, quietly feeling the washing of spiritual energy.
And the increasingly rapid whirlpool outside him grew bigger and bigger as time passed...
Gradually cover hundreds of meters, kilometers, ten thousand meters, one hundred thousand meters...
It's even increasing.
Time flies very fast in this kind of practice.
Xia Ji has been practicing except for waking up every month and swallowing a Bigu Pill. But the strange thing is that although his spiritual energy is extremely large, let alone the first level, the Purple Mansion between his eyebrows is actually still there. There is no completely developed look.
Only when it is opened up, the spiritual energy that enters the Zi Mansion will be accumulated, and it will reach the first level of heaven over time.
The surrounding mountains and rivers showed a strange silence, as if they were peering at the young man on the cliff.
Because at this time, a terrifying amount of spiritual energy was gathering towards him, but the robbery demons did not move, because although there was a gathering of spiritual energy, it seemed that it had never been able to accumulate, so that the young man was like a bottomless pit, and the spiritual energy never returned. .
And the robbery demon is not interested in things without spiritual energy...
Therefore, although the tribulation demons who have not developed spiritual wisdom are "curious", none of them are willing to move out, so the mountains and rivers are quiet and the years are quiet.
Half a year later, Xia Ji discovered that not to mention the first level of heaven, even the Zi Mansion had not yet been opened...
"Is it true that my qualifications are extremely poor? But I have absorbed a lot of spiritual energy... Is it so difficult to break through the magical power realm?"
Xia Ji shook his head strangely. In any case, there was only the last pill of Bigu Pill left, and the time was up.
He turned around and walked out of this small mountain and river ruins.
The scenery changes.
Space fluctuations.
Xia Ji stepped out.
Fairy Bai Su is not outside.
But there was a letter pressed under the stone in front of the tent.
Xia Ji took out the letter.
There are only two paragraphs in the letter.
First paragraph: Something happened in the sect. I will go back to Wanjian Sect first. After His Highness comes out, please come directly.
The second paragraph seemed to be added hesitantly: Your Highness should not wander around, the world may start to become dangerous.
The signature is Bai Su.
"Has a new murderous calamity arrived? I don't know what it is..."
Xia Ji's spiritual consciousness swept through the mountain forest. The mountain forest had turned into late autumn and was silent. However, when a gust of wind blew by, the sound of rustling leaves was restored. The yellow leaves were swept by the mountain wind and turned into yellow dragons across the sky.
When Xia Ji returned to Wanjian Sect, the entire sect was immersed in a heavy and depressing atmosphere.
A disciple recognized Xia Ji and went to notify Bai Su.
Bai Su quickly came to pick up Xia Ji.
Xia Ji asked: "What's wrong?"
Bai Su didn't speak, just walked in front.
Xia Ji followed her.
The two came to a palace one after another.
The palace was very empty, but except for the elder, there was no one else. Du Bai, Xia Ji's former tenth disciple, was also among them.
The two looked at each other.
Du Bai's eyes became less hostile and he just said: "He is waiting for you."
Xia Ji walked into the back of the hall and saw a "person" lying on the bed.
You can still vaguely identify Yu Long, the leader of Wanjian Sect.
However, the former leader of the Wanjian Sect, who had great fame before, now looked like a human being or a ghost.
Except for his head, his whole body is shrinking, shriveled, and weathered, and all the power in his body is flowing away. It is as if a man who has lived for more than 1,500 years is gradually turning into a skeleton of more than 1,400 years.
Xia Ji stepped forward and raised his hand to grab the wrist of the leader of Wanjian Sect.
The elder on the side quickly stopped him: "Don't touch him, you will die."
Xia Ji doesn't care.
However, Yu Long spoke: "Your Highness, don't touch me."
"What happened?"
Yu Long glanced at the others and said, "Go down."
The elders bowed their heads heavily and came out, but Bai Su cried loudly, then suddenly knelt down and kowtowed three times, and then rushed out of the place.
In addition to Bai Su, many other disciples came to the bedside, knelt down and kowtowed to Yu Long, and then walked out quickly.
There were only two people left in the room.
Yu Long said: "If Your Highness can recite sutras, reciting the Ksitigarbha Sutra will help me achieve salvation... I want to die listening to His Highness's reciting sutras."
The flesh on his arms had rotted and weathered, leaving only white bones, and the white bones were gradually losing all color, as if they had been stored in the air for a long time.
Xia Ji casually drew, and the living talisman mixed with the fire of the white phoenix fell down, but he could not suppress the speed of this "decay and weathering". This was not only the power of karma, but even a level of transcendence, which was completely unrelated to the body. in one dimension.
The White Phoenix Fire is more effective than the Living Talisman, but it is also irreversible.
Xia Ji asked: "Who hurt you?"
Yu Long didn't answer, he smiled and murmured: "It looks like... it really looks like..."
He looked at the young prince in front of him infatuatedly, as if he saw the old white-haired gentleman standing in front of him with a staff, teaching him patiently and patiently.
It seems that in the late winter of that year, in the heavy snow, he knelt down outside the Jinghu Pavilion, saying that he had a sweetheart and that he didn't want to lose the opportunity, while the gentleman continued to write in the pavilion, and wrote a poem. Then the mysterious method that suits him is given to him and he is allowed to do good.
It’s also like seeing my husband come to Wanjian Villa. In order for him to reveal his identity, he no longer needs to lower his head, arch his back, and grit his teeth in the coldness of the world, but can marry the one he loves well, and even marry him later. Can succeed as the owner of Wanjian Villa.
He knew that the teacher actually did not die at the age of a hundred years.
He knew that the teacher was actually the Black Emperor, and the senior sister had told him.
But he also knew that the teacher was still unable to avoid his fate, and disappeared into the world along with the fire disaster.
So, will he finally go to hell to be with his deceased wife
"Please, Your Highness, recite sutras for me."
Xia Ji closed his eyes and recited softly with a voice of deep compassion: "All sentient beings who have not been liberated have uncertain nature and consciousness. Bad habits accumulate karma, good habits result, good and evil, and they are born according to circumstances. Revolving in the five paths, temporarily No rest. Moving through kalpas of dust, confusion and obstacles. Like a fish swimming in a net. It will be a long stream..."
"dad… "
Yu Long seemed to have seen an illusion. He murmured these two words, a look of calm appeared on his face, and two lines of tears fell from the corners of his eyes...
But he couldn't hold on any longer, and the mysterious power finally climbed to his head.
After reciting a few lines, he was already dead.
After half a piece of Ksitigarbha recitation, he has turned into a thousand-year-old skeleton, extremely brittle and dried.
There was a slight tremor in the air, and he turned into dust, covering the sheets with a layer of pale ash.
Xia Ji continued to recite quietly, and when he finished reciting the whole poem, he took a deep breath, with mixed feelings in his heart.
Is this called a white-haired person giving a black-haired person a gift
When he walked out, Du Bai said: "Thank you."
"What happened?"
Bai Su said: "Qi Yu, come with me and I will tell you."
The two of them walked in the repressed sect.
Bai Su said: "There have been disappearances in Fenghe Village in recent years, and many disciples have disappeared.
Half a year ago, the Jianyu Sect, which was more than 200 miles away from Fenghe Village, suddenly disappeared.
So the sect leader and the two elders went to the outskirts of Jianyu Sect to investigate, and then only the sect leader escaped...
The sect leader said that it was an indescribable tide. There were many skeletons in the tide, and these skeletons only killed extraordinary people, but we could not kill these skeletons. There was a strange black film on their bodies, and no attack could break that Black film…
The sect leader said that this might be a new killing calamity, but he didn’t know where the opportunity was. He only said that we should avoid the black tide and look for opportunities in this calamity.
Because, if no opportunity is found, everyone will die and all sects will be destroyed.
The path of spiritual practice, the path of eternal life, is to go against the will of heaven. God has made you a mortal forever. Mortals can hide from danger, but monks cannot hide...
This is the calamity, the teacher’s calamity, and our calamity. "
After Bai Su finished speaking, he started crying.
Xia Ji didn't take the opportunity to hold her in his arms to comfort her, and he didn't have a handkerchief, so he sat aside with Bai Su and waited until she finished crying before suddenly saying: "Next time we investigate, I will go with you."
"But this is Wanjian Sect's investigation... But it should be fine. I'll talk to the elders." Bai Su wiped away her tears, "As for the sect master, he must not choose now. Who can solve this problem and let Wanjian Sect Whoever establishes a foothold in the new killing calamity will be the sect leader.
It's a pity that the master's aunt hasn't woken up from the nightmare, otherwise it would be great to have her in charge of the overall situation.
By the way, how have you been practicing in the Xiaoshanhe Ruins these past six months? "
Xia Ji said: "No progress."
Bai Su showed a look of astonishment. She vaguely remembered that she had broken through the first level in half a year.
…
…
At night.
Xia Ji didn't read.
He sat in front of the cliff, looking up at the sea of stars and looking down at the sea of clouds. In the distance, sword wheels kept coming and going, and disciples of the Wanjian Sect were coming in and out.
There was a sudden voice behind him.
"Your Highness is truly a person who values affection and justice. Du apologizes for being rude when we first met."
A man in white walked to the edge of the cliff and sat next to him.
"drink wine?"
"drink."
Du Bai grabbed two jars of wine.
Although he had previously called this junior brother a waste, he was just a bit more irritable. When his junior brother got into trouble and died, he felt very uncomfortable in his heart.
Du Bai opened the mud seal, drank the strong wine, then put it down, and asked with red eyes: "Your Highness, are you curious why junior brother wants you to recite sutras?"
Without waiting for the fifteen-year-old prince to speak, he said directly: "Because His Highness looks like a person."
After saying that, Du Bai sighed again and said with a smile: "Let's not talk about this anymore..."
Xia Jihu said: "Mr. Du, have you ever thought that if that person is still alive, he also hopes that you can do good and strive for self-improvement?"
Du Bai glanced at him in astonishment, his brows slowly wrinkled, but eventually calmed down.
The two drank all night.
…
…
After a few days, Wanjian Sect was truly facing a formidable enemy and divided into many small teams.
Each team has its own mission.
The basic method is to go to the mortal kingdom of your subordinates, dispatch a large number of spies through the imperial power, cast a wide net to obtain information, then analyze and select information points, and then focus on investigation.
Of course, there are also those who act freely and search alone.
This is the outgoing team.
But the sect also needs people to guard it.
Especially after knowing that the leader of Wanjian Sect died, many casual cultivators or other sects may join forces to invade Shangshan while you are sick and kill you.
Therefore, Du Bai sat on the mountain. With him around, the sect was as stable as the mountain.
At this time, the Nongxiao Fairy had recovered.
And Xia Ji is completely not regarded as an enemy. There is not much entanglement between the Daqi royal family and the Wanjian Sect. In addition, Yu Long confessed some things before his death, Xia Ji is regarded by Wanjian to some extent. The Jianzong regards it as one of its own. In addition to the openness of the sect, even small mountain and river ruins are allowed to enter.
Xia Ji formed a team to investigate this murder. The information from Wanjian Sect would be helpful to him.
And just before setting off, the little girl I had seen on the arch bridge found the leader.
This little girl's name was Dai Meng. She was also born into a wealthy family, and her family lived in the city near Fenghe Village. Because she was familiar with that generation, Wan Jianzong took her with her.
There are five people in a team, and Xia Ji's team also includes Bai Su, Dai Meng, and Nong Xiao Xianzi.
In addition, there is another male cultivator named Chunshan Jun who can control the Twelve Sword Wheels.
Chun Shanjun is also a disciple of Yu Long. He looks extremely calm, and the sword wheel is quite special and extremely thin. If you look at it, you can notice that each sword is actually made of countless sword wires. It must be someone's sword wheel. A secret way to kill.
Fairy Nong Xiao also knew that the prince was mysterious and powerful, and that the sect leader was requiemed by his chanting sutras before his death. In addition, she was the one who did it first, so there was no hostility at this time, but she was not with Xia Ji either. , but Yu Jianlun took the little girl with him.
Xia Ji was standing on Bai Su's sword wheel as before, walking through the air.
In just a few days, the five people arrived at Waterside City.
This is an inland city on the edge of a freshwater lake, more than two hundred miles away from Jianyu Sect.
The Dai family obviously has great status here, but when they saw Bai Su and others, the head of the Dai family led a group of core family members to come and pay homage.
Because Xia Ji was here, these gifts were waived.
After the normal reception and cleansing banquet.
The Dai family gathered all the core figures to sit together in two rows.
Xia Ji and others were in the back hall.
Chunshan Jun is a big horse with a golden sword, sitting high in the center at the end of the lobby.
Mr. Chunshan was not polite and said directly: "I need the Dai family to send people, the more the better, to investigate the strange events happening in the surrounding area, especially the disappearances. If there are any, I will report them."
The head of the Dai family said directly: "Yes, everything is arranged by the sect."
After that comes the discussion of details.
The discussion lasted until nightfall.
Xia Ji was alone in the courtyard of Dai's wing, lighting an old-fashioned oil lamp, reading in the autumn wind and fallen leaves, and thinking about the subsequent breakthrough in realm.
Although for him, power and realm are not the same, but realm cannot be lowered.
But looking at the situation, the breakthrough of the twelve realms takes a long time and cannot be achieved overnight. If this retreat lasts for a hundred years, then a lot of things will be missed.
What's more, now is the beginning of the tribulation, and he also needs to see clearly what this tribulation is.
The autumn wind is bleak.
The yellow leaves rustle.
The dim candlelight revealed the mottled walls.
However, the sound of gongs was heard far away in the mortal streets.
Three more knocks, and it's midnight.
Xia Ji stood up following the sound, raised his head and glanced into the distance, his mind suddenly moved.
Many times, Tribulation Demons are not directed at mortals, not because of their kindness, but because mortals treat them like dirt. If they step on the dirt, mortals will suffer, but they will never step on the dirt just for the sake of stepping on the dirt. No. Will do it deliberately.
But extraordinary beings have an inexplicable attraction to the Tribulation Demon...
Because I have a mezzanine heart, my strength cannot be seen from the surface at all, but Bai Su, Nongxiao Fairy, and Chunshan Jun are different. They are all strong men in the Thirteenth Realm.
To a certain extent, they were also his disciples in the previous life. This was related. If they could be saved, he would never fail to save them. Moreover, Yu Long died in front of his eyes a few days ago, which also made him feel a little sad.
At this time, Shui'an City is more than two hundred miles away from Jianyu Sect and about four hundred miles away from Fenghe Village, the source of the disaster. It can be said to be extremely far... But who knows what the situation is now
When he thought of this, he stood up directly and reached the next door in a flash.
Xia Ji quickly walked over to the door, knocked on the door and said, "Fairy Bai Su, are you asleep?"
Not long after, a lazy and somewhat gentle voice sounded.
"Sleep."
Xia Ji's expression changed, "Okay."
He turned around and left. As soon as he walked out of the door, he took a deep breath and activated the seventy-two transformations. His body turned into an autumn mosquito, vibrating its wings and flew in from the door.
Inside the house…
Darkness.
What's even darker is that a strange black "**" is falling in Fairy Bai Su's room.
If you look closely, you will see that the black "**" is not made of water, but corpses.
These corpses are not limited to humans, but also include various animals and plants.
The person's face was turned outwards, the whites of his eyes were widened, and his mouth was opened as if to wail, but it was silent.
This black pool reminded Xia Ji of the black waterfall he had seen in the underworld more than 1,500 years ago.
When he looked at Bai Su again, he seemed to have fallen into a strange state of drowsiness, but it seemed that nothing had happened yet.
So, without thinking, he flapped the mosquito's wings and flew towards Bai Su, and the moment he landed on her arm,
He directly showed his human form and hooked the fairy who was his disciple and grandson in his previous life with both hands.
Stepping into the void, with a sudden explosion, he rushed out of the strange house with Bai Su like lightning.
