The young Taoist priest walked quickly down the mountain, his mind calm. He glanced at the courtyard with a little worry, but found that there was no change in his courtyard and the door was not blocked by the Taoist priest Qingyu next door. He breathed a sigh of relief, then quickly returned to the house and started practicing again.
What he didn't know was that in the courtyard next door, Taoist Qingyu was watching everything with a calm expression.
If Qi Wuhuo had accepted the Beidi Mirror from Beidi’s daughter Zhinu before, he would have left.
There is nothing wrong with this action, of course.
But he cannot be considered a disciple of the Three Pure Ones.
It can be seen that others value this thing, so we should not take away what others like, and we should not take advantage of the situation to gain the advantage for ourselves. The so-called role model of all Taos, in Taoism, do not deceive yourself. Taoist Qingyu said to himself: "The greatest treasure in the world is the flawlessness of my heart. I give up treasures and seek Taoism. Taoism is flawless. What a flawless Taoism."
He looked at the young Taoist who was practicing, turned around with his sleeves brushed, and finally said slowly:
"……good."
The returning Holy Mother Taiyuan was surprised, as if she could not believe that she heard such a title from her teacher. After all, Yuqing was the most strict among the Three Pure Ones and the Four Imperial Gods, and his evaluation was two levels lower than that of the other two uncles. The "good" in his mouth was already able to get praise from the Grand Uncle.
As for Uncle Shangqing.
Uncle Shangqing doesn't think that any of his disciples are stupid. Those who like to play are playful geniuses, those who like to relax are mind geniuses, and those who like to sleep, hahaha, are indeed supreme talents, those who see good in everything. However, they are also the most murderous among the Three Pure Ones. Therefore, these three really cannot be viewed with ordinary eyes.
The good things that could be learned from the teacher were Tianpeng's killing, Xuandu's alchemy, and Taiyi's differentiation.
Now we also have the mysterious and profound heart of Tao.
The Holy Mother of Taiyuan was thinking, and when she saw Taoist Qingyu looking at the plum tree over there, she said calmly:
"This child is like me."
!!!!!!!
Then the Holy Mother Taiyuan's heart seemed to skip a beat.
Subconsciously, I looked up at the Taoist Qingyu, who was dressed in pure white and had a deep aura, standing with his hands behind his back. I saw that he was silent for a long time:
"Unfortunately, he is not my disciple..."
“Great…”
…
"Magic is the transformation of Qi. Divine power is to mobilize the Qi of heaven and earth. Using Qi to carry and the body to perform is also a martial art... I have mastered enough moves now, but they are just simple moves. The power is great enough, but it is easy for flaws to be seen."
"Is there a way to disassemble these magical powers without affecting the flow and combination of Qi, and at the same time be able to complete the induction of the heaven and earth's original Qi and the combination of magical powers while competing in martial arts... no longer be bound by the magical powers themselves, but use them at will, and every move is part of the magical power?"
The young Taoist pondered.
After constantly fighting with the Taoist Qingyu during this period, he soon realized that although the moves and magical powers he learned from other predecessors could mobilize the vast Yuan Qi of heaven and earth in an extremely sophisticated way, they had too many flaws. If he encountered an opponent with a solid foundation, his flaws would be easily found.
This flaw does not represent the flaw of this move.
But it's your own flaw.
In other words, although one has an invincible move, one is not invincible, and it is oneself who "drags down" these supreme magical powers.
The young Taoist suddenly became confused.
Is it true that the more powerful the supernatural power is, the better?
Does strength mean everything?
During the challenge that day, under the plum tree, Holy Mother Taiyuan discovered that the young Taoist was obviously in a much worse state. He seldom used the magical powers that he had mastered, and his moves became messy and scattered. Without the help of those great magical powers, Qi Wuhuo's performance this time was much worse than before. He couldn't even force out the branches and was directly defeated.
The Holy Mother of Taiyuan was surprised. She originally thought that Qi Wuhuo neglected his cultivation, but she found that Taoist Qingyu was not angry. Instead, he praised her. She said, "You seem to have found your own path, but your practice is still too careless and not complete enough. You know how to break the whole into parts. Your comprehension is not bad, but you still lack something to combine your Qi, Fa, Shu, Shen, and martial arts."
"It becomes a whole system, like the North Star, which is guarded by many stars."
"But you used it piecemeal, which is inferior in the end."
"Go back."
Holy Mother Taiyuan discovered that Taoist Qingyu rarely spoke today.
The young Taoist pondered for a long time and said, "Is my path right?"
Taoist Qingyu said: "You made your own choice, no one knows whether it is right or wrong. In the practice of cultivation, how can there be right or wrong?"
“It’s just that the stance is different.”
"If there is right and wrong, there must be a standard. Then, who sets the standard for who is right and who is wrong?"
Taoist Qingyu said, "Go down and think about it yourself."
The young Taoist pondered for a long time and returned to the yard. It seemed that he was the only one who could hear Taoist Qingyu's preaching and teachings. Others, even Qi Yuntun and Xiao Yaoling who lived with Qi Wuhuo, also turned a blind eye and deaf ear to it, and were not noticed by Yuqing at all.
Qi Wuhuo tried to disassemble all the abilities and magical powers he possessed.
Because the foundation mentioned by Qingyu Daoren was finally solid enough, the disassembly step was completed naturally.
Then he knew the operation of the sword, the energy, and how to combine the divine will with swordsmanship.
Understand the formation, the compatibility of the eight trigrams and the magical power of blazing flames.
He also understood that the Heaven-Flipping Seal was actually the most basic way to forcibly stop and control the many changes of the Qi in the target location, and then press down with the backhand to reverse the original way of operation, thereby unleashing a destructive force that far exceeds the practitioner's own cultivation level.
However, it is extremely difficult to combine all these things together and melt them into one furnace.
The young Taoist always felt that there was something missing.
But this little bit seems like an insurmountable chasm.
He was deep in thought that day, when suddenly someone sent a message to King Qin to contact him. The young Taoist was surprised. After he started to make his decision, he found that King Qin's eyes were slightly red, and his royal royal uniform was a little disheveled. It was obvious that he had just returned from a court meeting, and there was even some blood on his fist.
Qi Wuhuo frowned slightly and asked, "What happened?"
King Qin's eyes were red, and it was obvious that he was trying his best to suppress his emotions. He said, "That great demon king has sent messages to all directions, asking for a witness to his great sage meeting. Now the invitation has been sent to the capital. It was a great demon who personally delivered the letter yesterday. The invitation said that he wanted to invite the human race to participate and watch the ceremony."
A big demon.
Moreover, it was a great demon who had a great grudge against the human world who came to the human world's dynasty to deliver a message.
At that time, the imperial guards of the capital, the military strategists and princes all put on armor and climbed onto the city walls. The court was under curfew, and more than one general said that they were willing to burn the fate of humanity and fight the monster to the death. Even if they exhausted their blood and all their generals died, such a violation of the border would never be tolerated.
This is a provocation to the dignity and face of the human race.
They come here today and will dare to invade the border tomorrow. At that time, the Duke of Zhenguo had already rushed out with his sword in hand, but they were all called back.
On that day, the demon tribe's men broke into the homes of decent people, bullied and humiliated dozens of human women, and then raped and killed them.
Some practitioners couldn't bear to see this and took action.
However, he was captured by the emperor's personal guards, who shot him through the collarbone and sent him to prison.
The King of Qin slammed his fist on the table. The cunningness of the royal family seemed to have finally been ignited by a kind of overwhelming anger. He could not control himself and gritted his teeth and said, "That man, that emperor, that bastard!!!"
"When any official writes to a court, he must draw his sword."
"He said, live with the people."
"It is said that the disaster in Zhongzhou and Jinzhou has just passed, and the people are suffering. We cannot start a war at this time."
"Speaking of kindness, I am willing to send a thousand beauties from clean families, three thousand servants, and three thousand craftsmen and blacksmiths, escorting countless treasures and books, as a convoy, and personally send the royal family to the land of the demons."
"Say, congratulations to the Great Sage!"
The face of the King of Qin turned red due to anger. He was still young, and his blood was surging. He could not help but punch the pillar and said angrily: "That is the monster that killed the people of our world. It is the monster that wants to swallow our blood and eat our flesh. It is the great demon king who caused the blood disaster in Jinzhou. It is unworthy of being a human to not be able to conquer it. How can he celebrate for the Great Sage?!"
"Congratulations to the Great Sage?!!!"
"Hahahaha, I know why he let Seventh Brother leave. If, if Seventh Brother was here."
"If Brother Seven were here."
"Under such a situation, all the military strategists will turn to him, even those generals who have experienced hundreds of battles. When the big monster comes here, as long as the seventh brother appears on the top of the city, the leader of the military strategists will regain his power. He will definitely kill the big monster, and then carry the big monster's head to the palace, and use the situation to force the emperor..."
The King of Qin looked slightly pale, and he murmured with a sad smile: "So that's how it is."
"It turns out that everything is under the control of the emperor."
"All the civil and military officials, me, my fourth brother, the generals, and my seventh brother, were all treated as chess pieces by him, but... but why was he not using such vision and judgment on the right path? Why was he not paying attention to the people, or the human race, but only to his own reputation?"
"Fourth brother went to the prison and saw that the knight who had attacked had committed suicide. Before he died, he wrote a scroll saying that he was a spy who intended to rebel."
"They are trying to sow discord between the human race and the demon race, so they are doing this."
"He was also responsible for those murders."
"Now, his body is still hanging on the execution ground in the south of the city..."
“The people all hated it deeply.”
The King of Qin's emotions burst forth, and it was clear that he was furious and indignant. The young Taoist lowered his eyes, and after a long moment, he said, "I understand."
"You are in the capital, so be careful."
The King of Qin was silent for a long time, then suddenly asked, "Sir, do you want to go to Jinzhou to see the Great Sage?"
The young Taoist raised his eyes and replied, "Yes."
King Qin took a deep breath and said, "The location of the demon clan's great demon is extremely secret. Even for such a great event as the one that is about to break through, when he sent people from the demon clan here and invited the rest of the people to 'watch the ceremony', he had to ask his trusted followers to lead the way personally. There are no maps, no records, and the emperor wants to send a royal relative as an ambassador, and no one else dares to do that."
“I will be the ambassador.”
The young King Qin's eyes were as cold as stars, and he said, "Only I can do this."
"I am the only one who can contact you, sir."
"In this way, sir, you will be able to know the exact location of the demon clan's great sage."
"As a son, I cannot avenge my father. As a human race, I cannot kill this great demon. I am already ashamed to live in this world. How can I let go of such an opportunity? I am also a royal family. I am also the blood and heir of the Human Emperor. Don't I have the power of the Human Emperor? Can't I protect the world like those emperors of previous generations? Can't I die for the human race like my ancestors did?"
"All I can do is simple things like this."
"The Jinzhou incident will never be tolerated. The blood of humanity must be repaid with blood!"
After confirming that the young Taoist in front of him had the intention of going to Jinzhou to find the demon clan's great sage, the King of Qin was equally resolute. The young Taoist ended the communication, sat in silence for a long time, his right hand pressing the sword on the table, the sword whistling in the sheath, and then murmured: "Congratulations to the great sage..." These four words seemed to have an indescribable mockery.
He raised his sword, his blood boiling in his chest, and he wanted to go down the mountain immediately.
Still young after all.
Even if your heart is at peace, there will always be some things that disturb your mood and make it no longer peaceful and tranquil.
Because the Taoist heart that Taoism pursues is not a stagnant pool of water.
The Tai Shang lineage is vast and selfless, but they are not ruthless and indifferent, on the contrary, just like Shang Qing is happy to see all things, but is also the heaviest killer, Yu Qing is the most strict but also the most serious. The Tai Shang lineage is vast and selfless, but they are also the most affectionate and emotional.
However, Taoist Qingyu would not give in at all because of the young Taoist's purpose and desire.
It even gained three points of strength because of Qi Wuhuo's thoughts.
The young Taoist was even worse this time than the first time, and was defeated even more quickly. He half-knelt on the ground with his sword in his hand, panting heavily due to the great consumption of his Yuan Qi. The grief, anger, and murderous intent in his heart were released by such a fierce battle. His mood gradually calmed down. Taoist Qingyu said calmly: "I taught you to play the piano so that you can control these things."
"You may feel happy, angry, sad, or joyful, but they cannot affect your heart of Tao."
"[You], want to be above you."
"It is to forget about emotions for the sake of the Supreme Love."
"It's like forgetfulness, but not heartlessness."
Taoist Qingyu said calmly: "Want to go down the mountain?"
Things in the outside world were still changing, and the changes in the world were even more turbulent. The young Taoist stood up with his sword in his hand. He was still excited, but his face was as calm as the sea. He was in a state of mind like a still river, and he replied, "I want to." Taoist Qingyu said calmly, "Very good."
"Then, if you want to get down the mountain, you will have to force me to use a magical power."
"And then, defeat me."
Holy Mother Taiyuan was shocked.
The difficulty of this is even greater than when Tianpeng descended the mountain.
The young Taoist gritted his teeth and said, "I will beat you!"
Then Taoist Qingyu chuckled.
"Come on."
He actually laughed.
There seemed to be a hint of appreciation in his eyes at last.
then.
The young Taoist was beaten with ten times the force and unrivaled oppression.
Qi Wuhuo returned to the house and felt that he had prepared all his original thoughts and put them into practice. However, facing the Taoist Qingyu, it was still not enough. The most basic things in the latter's hands could show an extraordinary effect. The young Taoist's moves were simply simple and could be regarded as rounded, no longer confined to powerful magical powers.
But he still can't compare with Taoist Qingyu.
How can I integrate what I have learned, so that I will not be obsessed with powerful magical powers, nor be too ordinary? I was thinking for a long time when I heard a message. The young Taoist thought it was the King of Qin. He raised his hand to make a decision, but he heard a clear voice in his ear: "No doubt, no doubt!!!"
The young man looked up and saw a girl in light green clothes appear, and then she smiled brightly and clearly.
“Dangdangdang!”
"Fairy Yunqin from Xuanwu has returned in style!"
"Hey, how are they? The snacks you brought are delicious."
The young Taoist priest's unconsciously tense mind relaxed and he paused.
Just like a taut string being adjusted to relax, he said, "Well, I'm glad you like it."
The girl was naturally innocent, but she could see Qi Wuhuo's tiredness, so she wanted to cheer him up, so she told him some things about the Heavenly Palace, and complained about her mother's confinement, saying: "Do you know that there is a very extraordinary, powerful, cold and domineering Beidizi in the Heavenly Palace!"
"It was because of him that my mother put me in solitary confinement."
"Don't let me see him!"
"That guy, why did everyone praise him and say he has the demeanor of the Northern Emperor when he skipped the ceremony?"
"I skipped the ceremony."
"I'm going to be put in solitary confinement by my mother. This is not fair. Not fair at all!"
Yunqin gnashed her teeth in anger.
The young Taoist couldn't help laughing.
Seeing that he seemed to have finally gotten rid of that previous tense feeling, Yunqin smiled and said, "But uncle also taught me some interesting things. Come, Wuhuo, take a look. This is called [Trap]..." The little girl wanted to show off to her friend, so she spread out her ten fingers on both hands and weaved clouds.
Because she wanted to show off, she still learned the trick even though it was difficult to learn.
The changes are intertwined and mysterious beyond words.
The young Taoist's eyes widened, and the clouds between the girl's fingers fell into his eyes.
During these "seven or eight days", I continued to learn, think, and lay a solid foundation, as well as reflect on the confrontation with Taoist Qingyu.
It seems to be able to combine with this unpredictable law.
At this moment, it seemed as if the point of qualitative change had finally arrived.
It's like a sudden burst of pleasure, as if everything is clear to you.
There was a sudden change in his mind.
The young Taoist murmured, "So, that's how it is..."
