The sky was grey and misty.
The old sycamore trees in the yard were washed clean by the rain, and the large leaves showed the green color of their youth, like green emerald leaves that had just bloomed.
There was a large vat with a hole opened under the phoenix tree. The water in the broken vat was already full, and the new water flowed out and merged into the stream beside the yard. Tiny ripples appeared on the water surface due to the newly fallen raindrops.
Occasionally, large ripples appear, stirring up the water in the entire vat, as if there is an invisible monster hiding at the bottom of the vat. However, since it does not show its head, you cannot peek into its true appearance.
"Crash-----"
A big red fish emerged from the water, opened its mouth and spit out bubbles one after another, catching the rootless water falling from the sky.
It seemed as if something had bitten its tail, and then it suddenly dived to the bottom of the pool.
"Hualala-----"
Water splashed everywhere and the water flow shook more violently.
With the center of the water as the center of the circle, one water ripple after another rotates inside the large vat.
The black shadow was still groping in the room, flipping through volumes of precious ancient books, and then casually throwing them aside.
His movements were extremely fast, but made almost no sound.
The room was still pitch black, and apart from the flickering light of the pupils, it was difficult to see any light.
Whoosh----
A cool breeze blew towards his back.
If it were someone else, they would just feel a breeze blowing and a slight chill on their back.
However, for the man in black robe, any movement within a few feet around him could hardly escape his perception.
Without him making any movement, his body disappeared from the spot.
Snap----
Countless fine threads of a whisk hit the bookshelf, cutting countless holes on it.
That was not the natural wind, but the breeze brought by the whisk.
After missing the first strike, he swung his whisk and chased after the man in black not far away again. This time, the direction of the whisk's attack was the pair of bright eyes.
In this black space, those eyes were too bright.
Whoosh----
There was another faint breeze.
The man holding the whisk jumped up, his Taoist robe spread out, but silently.
His appearance, his moves, his attack when he jumped up - all without making any sound.
He didn't even speak, and even his breathing was barely audible.
This man used the Taoist "Turtle Breathing Technique". His internal organs entered a dormant state like a turtle, but his body still maintained a powerful attack capability.
Snapped----
The black-clothed man disappeared, and the whisk hit the bookshelf again. The bookshelf couldn't bear such gravity, and a piece of wood fell off with a click. Then the whole bookshelf began to collapse, making a clattering sound.
The difference was that this time the man in black did not disappear by dodging or retreating, but instead actively moved towards the whisk.
"You evil beast, you're looking for death-----" The middle-aged Taoist priest was enraged by the black-clothed man's arrogant behavior. He shouted loudly, retracted his whisk abruptly, and slapped the black-clothed man on the chest.
This time, the whisks no longer gathered together, but scattered one by one, like countless flying needles, piercing towards the man in black.
The fine threads on the whisk actually broke free from the handle and became hidden weapons that densely covered all the important acupuncture points on the black-clothed man's chest and face.
"Don't swear at me, you little brat-----" the man in black cursed and slapped out with his palm as he spoke.
If there were any bystanders, they would definitely burst into laughter at this scene.
The man in black came to steal someone's treasure, but after being caught in the act, he didn't want anyone to curse him. It was really overbearing.
What's even funnier is that he called a middle-aged Taoist priest a "yellow-mouthed child" - whose child is growing so fast
"I am Qingxuan, a reader in Fanghua Pavilion. Who are you?"
There is a saying in Taoism that there are "three Ji and seven Xuan". The three Ji are three top masters of the Ji generation, while the seven Xuan are heroes of the Xuan generation. The three Ji and seven Xuan have their own strengths and are the backbone of Taoism.
"Three machines and seven mysteries - let's see if you are just seeking fame and reputation."
As the man in black spoke, the strong wind from his big palm blew away the thin needles that were as hard as swords.
Boom boom boom----
The thin needles pierced the wall or bookshelf, making a dull sound.
Qingxuan was shocked and knocked away the hidden weapon with his palm strength. This kind of thing was very common.
However, he swung out the countless hairs of the whisk, and used the powerful method of "sweeping the army" to attack -
It's not a big deal to be able to take on one hidden weapon, and it's understandable to be able to take on three or five hidden weapons. However, how much strength does it take to shoot out thousands of hairs at the same time
Who is this person? How can he be so powerful
While Qingxuan was surprised, he already walked towards the man in black with the handle of the whisk in his hand.
After the man in black slapped away the hair strands with one palm, he continued to charge forward, ignoring the sharp handle in Qingxuan's hand, and then slapped Qingxuan on the chest.
puff----
Qingxuan immediately vomited blood and his body flew backwards.
Bang----
His body slammed heavily onto a row of bookshelves, causing them to topple over, triggering a domino effect, with one bookshelf after another being knocked down.
The room was filled with dust and books fell to the ground, making rustling sounds.
"Puff------" Qingxuan fell to the ground, spitting blood again, covering his chest and asking: "Who are you?"
In fact, the answer is already very clear when this question is asked.
Because in the whole of China, there are only a handful of people who can slap him away with one palm-----
The man in black did not answer Qingxuan's question, but walked towards Qingxuan step by step and asked in a deep voice: "Where is the Tai Chi Diagram?"
The man in black was discovered stealing and made such a loud noise, but he did not flee immediately. Instead, he continued to chase others to ask about the whereabouts of the treasure.
"You are here for the Tai Chi Diagram as well - who are you?"
"Where is the Tai Chi Diagram?" The man in black had already walked in front of Qingxuan, looked down at him, and said, "Don't delay. If I attack again, you will be dead ----- you should have been beaten to death by me just now -----"
"How can Qingxuan -- how can I be threatened by evil people?" Qingxuan covered his chest and sneered. He wanted to stand up, but his internal organs were seriously injured and his body was too weak to move. "It's just a death -- I am a monk, why would I care about this?"
"Then go to hell." The man in black said expressionlessly.
When you speak, you should lift your foot and step down.
"Wulian Tianzun-----" An old voice came through the window, the voice was loud, like thunder, and it made people's eardrums buzz. "Mr. Black Dragon has time to visit Wuliang Temple, why do you do such a cowardly thing? Why bother to fight with a junior?"
The man in black took one look at Qingxuan and knew that he couldn't keep his foot on him. The leader of the group stood up and attacked a wounded junior, which was really embarrassing.
"Master Taichong, you are not dead yet?" the man in black shouted outside.
As soon as he said this, the buzzing in his ears disappeared immediately. Attacking the enemy with sound, defeating the enemy with sound, all these are the principles of containing the energy in the sound of speaking. For masters of their level, everything in the world can hurt people and defeat the enemy.
"Who cares about life and death?" the old voice said with a smile. "Since Mr. Black Dragon is here, are you willing to come out and see me?"
"Why not?" the man in black said.
He slapped the locked window of the house from a distance, and the rosewood window shattered into wood chips that flew everywhere outside.
The man in black didn't move his feet, and without any support, he flew out of the window.
Snap----
His feet landed on a piece of bluestone in the yard. The bluestone did not move at all, not even disturbing the rain under his feet.
He was wearing black clothes and a black hat, and his entire body was covered in black.
I couldn't see his face clearly, or even his figure.
He stood there motionless, but his body seemed to be wrapped in a layer of gauze and a layer of mist, unreal and real, and he could never find his true self.
In the yard, dozens of Taoists gathered around, including an old Taoist with a white beard and some young Taoists who looked young and ignorant. They looked at the black-clothed man hiding in the wind and rain with a common hatred. They were neither happy nor sad, but there was some anger spreading.
They didn't do anything to offend anyone, but people always came to their homes to steal things and beat up their relatives. This kind of thing would be unpleasant for anyone. Are monks not human beings
However, they did not act rashly.
Because, the man standing in the dark shadow is called Black Dragon - Black Dragon, one of the three most elusive and unfathomable dragons in China.
Even though they are well-informed, they have to admit that the guest who came to visit today is also a legendary figure.
In the middle of the crowd of Taoists stood an old man wearing a light-colored Taoist robe.
The old man's hair and beard were completely black, and there were not many wrinkles on his face, but his voice was extremely old, as if he was an old monster who had lived for hundreds of years.
The old man stood in the middle of the crowd with his back straight, looked at the black-clad dragon and said, "Which Tai Chi Diagram do you want?"
"The treasures of heaven and earth belong to the virtuous." The black dragon said calmly. Even though he was surrounded by so many people, he was not afraid at all. "It's useless for you to come. I will take it myself."
"If you can't take it away, doesn't that prove that you are a person without morals?" Taoist Taichong said jokingly.
"I haven't taken it yet, how do you know I can't take it?"
"I'm afraid we can't take it away." Tai Chong said with great certainty.
"The world is so big----If I want to leave, who can stop me? If I want to come, who can stop me?" The man in black robe said in a sonorous and powerful voice.
(PS: This volume is called "The Demons Dance", and almost all the characters that should appear have appeared. Next, I will write the sixth volume "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber", and every character should have his or her destination.) (To be continued)
