After the dead silence, a "ding-dong-dang-dang" sound sounded. Huge candles as thick as arms around the stone chamber suddenly lit up, and the fragrance of orchid and musk dispersed, making the stone chamber as bright as day. The candlelight flickered, illuminating two figures sitting quietly on the stone bench. A slender old man, with white beard and hair that reaches the ground, eyebrows as drooping as frost and snow, he is naked from the waist up, has a large frame, and strong muscles, without the laxity of an ordinary old man. What is shocking is that there are thin chains passing through each of his shoulder blades and hip bones. There are also iron cuffs on his neck, wrists, and ankles. The iron cuffs are all connected with thin chains, and the chains are on the other side. One end is embedded deeply into the stone chamber wall for an unknown amount of time. That "ding-ding-ding-ding" sound was the sound made by the old man's body movement. If the ancestor of the Lingjiu Palace were here, he would definitely recognize that this is the old palace master of the Lingjiu Palace who has been in seclusion for eight years and has understood the realm of refining the void. Sitting opposite the old man is a middle-aged man with a gentle face and a thin face. , looks ordinary, but his eyes are deathly gray. Wearing a gray robe, he sat quietly, stroking a chess piece in his hand, quietly waiting for the old man's answer. The light from the candle shone on him, as if it had been distorted and refracted, making his entire figure somewhat blurry. Every time he rubbed the stone chess piece, fine stone chips would fall down. Apparently he still cared a little about the old man's answer, and he was not as quiet inside as he looked on the outside. "Hate? What is there to hate? With nearly seven hundred years of skill and a perfect state of divine refining, I thought that I was immune to all poisons. Even if I eat poison as food or drink it, there will be no abnormality. So, That year, even though I knew that you wanted to deal with me, disciple, you didn't think about taking precautions. I just wanted to try your methods, but I didn't expect "This disciple never thought about deceiving the master, and the master doesn't need to deliberately take precautions. The disciple had told the Master beforehand that it was the poison prepared by the disciple himself, and he wanted to ask the Master to give it a try. Furthermore, with Master¡¯s wisdom, what¡¯s the difference between cheating and not cheating? " "This is your cleverness. The most powerful deception in the world is not to tell lies, but to tell the truth. If you tell a lie, I will beat you up, but you told the truth, which aroused my interest and made me willingly take the poison. This 'Guixu Poison' named after you is indeed very powerful. I have never asked about it in the past. Today I want to ask, how is this poison made? " "Ninety percent of the disciple's abilities come from the master. If the master wants to ask, the disciple will naturally not shirk it. Gui Xu poison is called poison, but it is actually Tao. " "road? " "The disciples of Guixu Dao practice Beiming Divine Technique and find that the essence of this technique is not to absorb people's internal energy. There are many martial arts in the world that can absorb people's inner energy. As long as a disciple wants to, he can create such a one. " "That's not a small tone, so tell me, what is the essence of Beiming's magical skill? " Wan Guixu picked up two chess pieces and said, "This is a horse and this is a cannon. The two are not the same. " He exerted slight force with both hands, and the two chess pieces silently turned into powder, fell suddenly, and became one piece. "Now, they are mixed into one. It shows that most things in the world are unified at a higher level. Ice can turn into water, water can turn into mist, and mist can be reunited into water. The forms are different, but the essence is one. " "So the essence of Beiming's magic is that the essence of Beiming's true energy is one level higher than ordinary true energy, so Beiming's magic can truly absorb other people's true energy, because almost all true energy has undergone certain changes. , will all turn into Beiming Zhenqi. " "This is a difference in the level of true energy. Like Xiao Xingyan's self-created Xing Dafa, although it can also absorb people's internal energy, it is still limited to the stage of eliminating differences and forcibly integrating external internal forces. The essential level of true energy does not exist. improve. The disciple dares to say that if he didn't have the internal energy of the previous leaders of the Yantian tribe, it would be impossible to subdue the internal energy that was forcibly sucked in. Those internal forces will definitely come back from time to time. " The old palace master was slightly entranced when he heard it. He couldn't help but clapped his hands, and the chains all over his body rattled, "Good disciple, your understanding of Beiming Divine Art has reached the point where it has advanced from technique to Taoism. It is no less than mine. . But this alone is not enough to deal with me. I am somewhat looking forward to your return to the ruins. " "The way to return to the ruins is derived from the Beiming Divine Art. "Wan Guixu continued. The old palace master asked: "Guixu, everything will eventually end in ruins. Is this what you mean? " Wan Guixu shook his head: "Guixu is a bottomless valley in the sea, where water gathers. In "Liezi Tangwen", there is a large ravine to the east of the sea, I don't know how many billions of miles away. It is actually a bottomless valley. There is no bottom under it. It is called Guixu. ,, does not mean that everything will eventually be in ruins. " The old palace master laughed and said, "I have little education and am not very knowledgeable. Disciple, please don't drag on the text and focus on the key points. "The disciple wonders, is there any higher rule above Beiming's true energy? Beiming is the sea. Is this a higher rule? The disciple calls it Guixu." "A higher rule? ¡± "Yes, higher rules, rules that even Beiming Zhenqi must abide by. Later I found such a rule" A little light flashed in Wan Guixu's gray pupils. Even Wan Xin and Mei Ruoxue have a hard time imagining that people like Wan Guixu would have ups and downs of emotions. Perhaps only in front of the master who raised him since childhood, he would have such a joyful emotion, and even say so many words. "After Xin'er died, I stayed with her on the ninth floor of the ice cave for ten days and ten nights. During these ten days and ten nights, her true energy continued to dissipate and return to heaven and earth. That's when I came up with this idea, no matter what What kind of true energy is it? Whether it's the Miao Miao Huan Xin Jue or the self-respecting power, or even Beiming's true energy, it always dissipates and returns to the world instinctively without the restraint of human will. " "I was just wondering why they would return. "Heaven and Earth?" "Master, there are so many unknown truths in this world. Why do stars not fall? Why does the sun rise and the moon set? Could the land of Kyushu under our feet be the stars in the sky, and we are standing on a huge On the sphere? There are endless unknowns. Each unknown has a corresponding truth, and each truth is one of the three thousand avenues. Human power is always limited. No matter how talented you are, you can only choose one of the three thousand avenues. I will take it. "It's the way of death when true energy returns to heaven and earth. I didn't practice Qigong in those years. I was just observing the world. People will die, rivers and seas will dry up, and mountains will collapse. At that time, I thought that death was the eternal thing in this world." The unchanging truth. Later I discovered that after death, the body rots in the soil, but the person is still there after all; when the rivers and seas dry up, the water still rises between the sky and the earth, and the water is still there after all; the mountains collapse, and the gravel overturns. Above the earth, mountains are actually still there.¡±
