In the blink of an eye, it had been five days since the incident, and Xiaoxia's head still hurt.
The turmoil subsided quickly and quietly. Although in terms of depth and breadth, it has been several years since there has been such a major turmoil in the world. Countless forces in the world were involved in it, and each suffered their own consequences. There were quite a few shocks, some of which could even be said to be severe injuries.
The town of Hongjing County was razed to the ground, with hundreds of civilians killed and injured. A small village about twenty miles away from Hongjing City was completely devastated. At that time, there were signs of dragons and tigers, golden light and thunder, and so on. Clearly audible. But under such a big commotion, no one knows what happened there at that time and what the reason was. Among the rumors circulating in the world, the most common ones are that the Demon-Fuming Master and the Shadow Guard of the Tianshi Sect were involved in a certain incident. This misunderstanding caused a conflict, and then there was a big fight and so on. Out of a tacit understanding that was understood by each other, the various forces involved in this turmoil did not spread or expand the aftermath of this shock. They all tried their best to quietly converge their forces behind the scenes, and at most they intersected in the form of undercurrents. Just move around.
For Xiaoxia, this is of course the best thing, otherwise his head will hurt at least ten times more.
In the sea of ????consciousness, the Taishang Zhengyi Miluo Wanyou True Talisman is still slowly changing in some mysterious way, and it seems that it has not moved at all. The feeling it conveys is extremely kind and so friendly. Naturally, it was as if he had been with him for decades and had no sense of isolation. But until this moment, Xiaoxia still couldn't figure out what this rare treasure that was said to condense the great road of heaven and earth was, and whether it could be taken out.
But he couldn't figure it out. But someone came to help him figure it out, or at least wanted to help him figure it out.
"Hey, kid. Are you awake? Come as soon as you are. Today, Master, I have thought of a few new ways to try!"
Having just woken up and still lying in bed in a daze, Xiaoxia heard hurried footsteps outside, and then the door was pushed open with a bang, and Taoist Xiyi strode in confidently. Xiaoxia suddenly felt her head hurt even more.
???????? After using the Heavenly Demon Locking Talisman to suppress Zhang Tianshi that day, the Universal True Talisman in the sea of ??consciousness was completely blurred. It completely changed back to what he had seen before in the boundless sea of ??consciousness. It seemed to be far away and completely unfathomable. At the same time, he felt that all his energy had been drained away. I feel dizzy as if I haven't slept for ten days and nights. He lay in bed for two full days before recovering. But the main reason why he continued to have that headache until now was the constant experimentation and fiddling he had been doing over the past few days under the guidance of Xiyi Lao Dao.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Out of course Xiaoxia was surprised and happy when he first saw him, but soon he couldn't be happy anymore. He was still baffled that this had somehow fallen into his hands. While he was worried about the big trouble that would definitely bring countless troubles, Old Taoist Xiyi was as happy as if he had suddenly obtained a rare toy. He just wished he could take the universal talisman out of Xiaoxia's body and play with it. Play.
"Boy, don't look bad all day long. Didn't you see that Tianshi boy from the Zhang family is going crazy because he wants this thing? He also said that it is the manifestation of the great road of heaven and earth. Such a magical treasure is It falls into your hands like this, but you feel like someone else has forced shit into your mouth, and you have simply wasted this huge opportunity."
"I'd rather not have this opportunity." Xiaoxia rubbed her head and stood up. Said quite helplessly.
"Bah, what a worthless brat!" Xi Yi said with a sigh. "Since it's a chance, then it's not up to you, what would you rather not do? Well, you really have been stuffed with a bunch of shit when it comes to bento. Since it's stuffed, you still swallowed it and can't spit it out. , then what¡¯s the use of you still sighing and complaining about this and that? You might as well savor this rare taste. Do you think that everyone is so lucky to be stuffed with shit? Or is it like this? This shit is unique in the world, and I don¡¯t know how many people, such as some heavenly master from the Zhang family, want to take a bite of this shit, but they still can¡¯t.¡±
""
"Okay, okay, no need to talk nonsense, come out with me quickly, I invited Lao Xu to try this talisman today."
Following Xiyi Laodao out of the warehouse and onto the deck, facing the breeze blowing from the river, basking in the early morning sun, looking at the wide river surface and the sight of cattle and horses on both banks in the distance, Xiaoxia felt inexplicably relaxed. Finally, I felt that my head didn't hurt so much anymore.
They are now riding a big boat, heading east along the Longjiang River.
After two days of rest in Jingbei, Xiyi Laodao dragged the groggy Xiaoxia and followed Xu Zhengzhou to find a cargo ship owned by Diancang Sect Industry and left Jingzhou by boat. The Longjiang River is the largest river in the world. It originates from several glaciers in the Western Sichuan Plateau and merges with several other tributaries along the way to roll eastward.It goes through Shu Jing, Xu Yang and Qing five states, and finally enters the sea in Qingzhou.
Although Xiaoxia couldn't recognize the scenery along the way, she calculated the time and knew that she should have passed the Xuzhou boundary at this time and was in the north of Yangzhou, almost reaching Qingzhou. If you follow this route, you will probably disembark at Luoshui City. This was also the waterway he took when he went to Qingzhou a year ago, that is, in Luoshui City a year ago, where he met Mingyue, and many things started from this.
Xiao Xia looked at the bow of the boat. Mingyue was standing barefoot in the front, facing the wind on the river. She was dressed in white clothes, with black silk flying on her head, as if the Luo Shen fairy near the river was about to fly away.
After that twists and turns, Ming Yue seems to be a little different from before, and she no longer hangs around Xiao Xia as before. In the past few days, when Xiao Xia saw her, she was mostly alone and in a daze. He is no longer as simple and innocent as the little beast before, and there is something more in the depths of his eyes as clear as a spring.
"You brat, look here. If you want to see the girl, ask her to accompany you to the cabin and take your time to see her." Old Xiyi slapped Xiaoxia on the head. "How much strength can you use that universal true talisman now?"
Xiao Xia calmed down and carefully felt the universal talisman in the sea of ????consciousness. Compared with the farthest and most vague appearance. It's a little clearer now. In the past few days, I have accompanied Old Taoist Xiyi to try various methods, and he has finally figured out how to use this universal talisman.
It seems that it can be said that as time goes by. This universal talisman will slowly become clearer and closer in his sea of ??consciousness, until it reaches the point where it was when he woke up that day. If he takes a good rest and calms down, it will take about two days and two nights. The most blurry situation returns to the clearest point. And as he borrows the power of this universal true talisman, just like catching Zhang Tianshi's spell and issuing the Heavenly Demon Locking Talisman, this true talisman will gradually become blurred again.
Based on the experience of the past few days. After judging the appearance of the Universal True Talisman in the sea of ??consciousness, Xiaoxia said: "It probably only has four or five points of power now."
"Well, it's almost just right. Old Xu, let's try it as you said." Old Taoist Xiyi waved his hand to Xu Zhengzhou beside him. "Look, this is another benefit that the old Taoist brings to you, right? If you don't follow the old Taoist to Jingzhou, you won't have the chance to see the Taishang Zhengyi Miluo Wanyou True Talisman that even Zhang Tianshi covets, right? Not to mention that I can let you try out my moves."
When Xu Zhengzhou heard this, he glared at Xiyi Lao Dao angrily. Although we are in the same boat. Xiaoxia saw Xu Zhengzhou for the first time in the past few days. And now it seems that his face is still a little pale. The damage caused by forcibly cutting open the Purifying Relic Pagoda five days ago has not been fully recovered yet.
"Boy, don't move, don't be nervous, relax." Xu Zhengzhou pointed his fingers together like swords, and slowly pointed his two fingers towards Xiao Xia's eyebrows.
Of course Xiaoxia didn't move, she just tried to relax as Xu Zhengzhou said. But at the same time, he could also feel the peaceful and soft sword energy on Xu Zhengzhou's slowly tapping fingertips. Compared with the majestic but somewhat scattered vitality of heaven and earth inspired by Taoism, martial arts energy, especially the true meaning of martial arts that is superior to innateness, is condensed and restrained. Xu Zhengzhou's martial arts cultivation at this level is not a deliberate display of sword aura. With Xiaoxia's third-rate martial arts foundation, it would have been completely impossible for him to feel it, but now that he was able to see through the vitality of the Universal True Talisman, Xiaoxia's perception was countless times more sensitive than before. He could not only detect it, but also Appreciate the flavor like appreciating a landscape painting.
Although the sword energy on Xu Zhengzhou's finger does not appear to be huge, the artistic conception is extremely majestic and profound, with continuous vitality, as if it is alive and can evolve into endless possibilities. This is somewhat like the innate spells he has come into contact with, but it is more vivid than those spells.
After a martial artist cultivates the bridge between heaven and earth and comprehends the realm of innateness, martial arts will gradually contain the laws of heaven and earth, become unpredictable, and become more and more like Taoism. On the contrary, Taoism will become more condensed and free, becoming more and more like Taoism. Martial arts. The meaning contained in Xu Zhengzhou's sword showed such a superb state that Xiao Xia felt that this was probably the only time he had seen it in his life.
As soon as this profound and vivid sword energy came into contact with his eyebrows, it was about to spread towards his veins, but the universal talisman in the sea of ????consciousness suddenly began to stir, and it became clear at an extremely fast speed. , and at the same time, the sword energy that Xu Zhengzhou tapped disappeared like a mud cow entering the sea.
"Hey, is that true?" Xu Zhengzhou nodded slightly. "How about that, is that universal true talisman more capable of being used as you wish?"
"Yes." Xiaoxia nodded with some surprise. At this time, the image of the Universal True Talisman in the sea of ??consciousness was actually as clear as ever. And the tendons in his eyebrow point were only slightly swollen and painful.
Old Taoist Xiyi came over and asked, "How much of the power of this true talisman can you use, Old Xu?"?Can you produce innate magic? "
"It depends on what kind of innate Taoism it is. The Heavenly Demon Locking Talisman is definitely not good, the Wu Earth Armor Soldier Curse is okay, and the Earth Escape Technique can probably last for more than ten breaths." Xiaoxia scratched her head. Through continuous practice in the past few days, he has been able to mobilize the power of the Wanwan True Talisman to use various Taoist techniques. The more proficient he is in spells, the lower the level of the Taoism. Naturally, the power of the Wanwan True Talisman will also be consumed. The smaller it is, but once the spell used reaches the innate level, the power of the true talisman consumed will increase dozens of times. At that time, when he faced Zhang Tianshi, he was able to issue the Heavenly Demon Locking Talisman, but it was with the help of the restriction that Zhang Yuhong had originally imposed on him. Even so, the power of the true talisman was directly consumed, and it also greatly damaged his spirit. In comparison, the Five Elements Armor Weapon Curse is considered to be the lowest level among the innate Taoist methods. He has also used the Wutu Armor Weapon Curse, and he also used the innate talisman given to him by Shi Zhongni, the elder of Houtumen, for a long time. He is the one who has the most understanding of the innate Taoism of Earth Elements, so he can use the Wu Earth Armor Soldier Curse and the Earth Escape Technique.
"Hey. It's a pity that this method can't be used to make talismans. Otherwise, if Old Xu points down, you can draw a high-quality talisman. If you point down again, you can draw another one. This way What's so hard about making money every day?" Old Taoist Xiyi sighed and patted Xiao Xia's shoulder with regret. "But this is not bad. If you can use top-grade Taoist techniques, you can be regarded as a Taoist expert no matter where you are. The boy must practice the iron head skill well in the future, and be prepared to receive a few palms and punches from others at all times. , there are endless spells in return. You can also make a name for yourself in the world. The nickname of Tietou Dharma Master is very good, it has both momentum and meaning. What do you think?"
"How could such a simple thing exist?" Xu Zhengzhou sneered and shook his head. "The Dantian between the eyebrows is an important point in the human body. Direct access to the sea of ??consciousness where spiritual thoughts gather is the most important point for a Taoist cultivator. I deliberately put my strength at the slowest and softest, and my innate sword intention also converged to the extreme. Still This is only possible if my sword intention is originally biased towards the side of vitality and evolution. If the strength is slightly leaked, or the sword intention is biased towards killing and attacking, then it will be either death or injury."
"Well, I can't explain it in just a few words. I've been doing some inferences with Lao Xu in the past few days, and I've basically understood the principle of this thing, so I'll tell you." Old Taoist Xiyi twirled his beard. Think about it. "Let's start with what the Taishang Zhengyi Miluo Wanyou True Talisman is. Well, the name of this talisman was given by Zhang Daoling. It is really the style of the Zhengyi Sect's magicians. It is smelly and long. A difficult-to-understand name can scare people into submission. But let¡¯s just use this name for the time being.¡±
"Although the old Taoist does not know where this thing came from or why it came into being, Zhang Daoling said that this thing is manifested by the great road of heaven and earth. This is not entirely bragging, but it also has some truth. With Buddhism as bald ass, According to the Dharma, this thing seems to be called the Bodhi Dharma Fruit, and it is said to be this 'thing'. In fact, it is not a 'thing', nor can it be said to be a 'thing'. But if it is directly said that 'there is no beginning and no way to go' or It's just like "innately the earth gives birth to silence and liaoxi", but it's definitely not that far. It just means something like that. Tao gives birth to one, which gives birth to two, and two gives rise to three and three gives birth to all things. This thing is not Tao, but it can also be regarded as one or two of Tao. , or the point on the Buddhist Tantra mandala that is very close to the center of the Great Sun Tathagata, do you understand?"
"A shortcut?" Xiao Xia remembered what he had discussed with Zhang Yuhong.
"Hey, let's just say that. Boy, if you can say this word, you can see that your vision has indeed improved over the years. In short, according to the theory, this thing can perform all kinds of laws in the world, and the Tianshi Sect has one Milo Dao Zun Shen Lian is a simulation of this thing. But now it falls into the hands of your boy, but some pearls have secretly cast it, so even if your boy is lucky enough to control it, the best he can do is use this thing. Just a few Taoist methods that you are familiar with."
"This thing coexists with the great road of heaven and earth. If it exists continuously, it will be inexhaustible. Logically speaking, it will never be used up. But as I said just now, due to your boy's superficial cultivation, after evolving the Tao method, he will Gradually out of your control, that's why you said that the more you use this true talisman, the blurr it will be in the sea of ??consciousness. However, correspondingly, using the closer to the laws of heaven and earth to resonate with it will make it easier for you to master it. . This is why Lao Xu pokes you with his finger and you say you can use the Taoist method."
"That's it, I understand." Xiaoxia suddenly realized. It was the law of heaven and earth contained in Xu Zhengzhou's sword intention that inspired the universal true talisman. In turn, he could use the universal true talisman to encourage the laws of heaven and earth to evolve into other ways. It's a pity that as Xu Zhengzhou just said, this method cannot be used unless it is an absolutely trustworthy master like Xu Zhengzhou, because the skill level has not reached the level, or the skill type does not match. For example, even if Tang Zhengyi is still alive, his The true meaning of martial arts that follows the path of destruction, no matter how deep you practice it, you can still control it.For example, I¡¯m afraid I can¡¯t afford it either.
Thinking of this, Xiaoxia suddenly remembered that the innate talisman was also made by inciting the laws of heaven and earth, and was far less condensed and lethal than the martial arts artistic conception, so he asked: "Then it should be possible to use a high-grade talisman to vibrate the real talisman. Yes."
"Of course it's possible, but master, I don't have any high-quality talismans for you to practice on. I also want to advise you that even if you have one, you don't have to do the unnecessary thing of taking off your pants and farting. It's better to give it to the master and sell it. Exchange it for wine money." Old Taoist Xiyi hooked his fingers. "Now that the talisman has been made, the laws and energy in it have been combined to an excellent level. If you draw the true talisman from the sea of ??consciousness in the Vibrating Spirit Platform and then use it again, even the most familiar spells will have their own effects. A lot of damage, two or three or four talismans that can be kept for a long time and can be sold for money are converted into one-time spells of the same quality. You would do this if you were kicked in the head by a donkey."
"Well, then it's useless." Xiaoxia couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. It seems that this magical treasure is of little use in his hands. He can only use the most basic innate spells such as the Five Elements Armor Talisman every two or three days. Compared with what this treasure brings to him, In terms of the trouble, it is really not worth mentioning.
"There's no need to be discouraged, kid." Xu Zhengzhou said lightly. "You are now the same as Taoist Shi, who has directly stepped into the half-step innate realm with the help of this universal talisman. With his persistence in the sword, Taoist Shi has brought this originally infinitely useful talisman to life. The treasure was turned into something that controls a pair of flying swords. It can be said that it has embarked on a crooked path. But even so, in the course of time, it has gained the magical power to dominate the world. This thing can evolve into all kinds of ways. , it is also the mind and the law. You can say that whatever you want it to be, it will gradually turn into something. You have learned the talismans for twenty years with this old Taoist, and you are free and unhindered. It can be said that you are the most suitable for all things. As long as you follow the path of the true talisman step by step, your achievements in the future may not be inferior to that Daoling."
"Mr. Xu is so ridiculous." This is really a big hat. Even if Xiaoxia had never had any great ambitions, she was said to have some ups and downs.
Speaking of this, Xu Zhengzhou sighed: "Back then, I also met Taoist Shi when he was young. In terms of sword-wielding talent, he was actually not inferior to me. It's a pity that he was hampered by this treasure for his whole life due to foreign objects. Although he The pair of flying swords are extremely powerful in attacking the enemy, far beyond ordinary innate masters, but they cannot advance even an inch. According to what you said, it is really a shame to die on this thing in the end."
"Bah, Lao Xu, you also know that people can't die easily due to external objects, so what kind of treasure are you bragging about to make this kid not inferior to Zhang Daoling's magic stick? What is there to envy about Zhang Daoling's magic stick? You Look at the legacy of the Zhang family in Longhu Mountain that he passed down, what has it become like now? Let me tell you, kid, your mentality before was right. This is just bullshit. If you accidentally swallow it, you won¡¯t be able to spit it out. , then just savor the taste and write it down, whatever happens, do you understand?" (To be continued)
