Chapter 286: The Heart is Hard to Calm, Using Force to Counter Force
His injuries still need to be treated. Although the Qi-regulating techniques are mysterious, they also require time to be harmonized.
Haoran boy looked sad and depressed, filled with an unrelieved depression.
Gong Mengbi decided to help him out and asked, "Excuse me, but why do you look so sad, Brother Haoran?"
Haoran sighed and said, "Sir, you shouldn't have gone down the mountain."
Not only Gong Mengbi, but Menghua and Wen Mengchun also showed expressions of wanting to hear more details.
The boy Haoran glanced into the cave and whispered, "The master was originally a great scholar of the previous dynasty. Not only was he a highly accomplished practitioner, he was also a man of great ability to help the people and bring peace to the nation. Unfortunately, the emperor was ambitious and committed wars year after year, leaving the people in turmoil. The master, who counseled the people, was repeatedly exiled, and his disciples in the court also suffered."
"The master understood that if he remained alive, he would only attract endless suspicion and sow the seeds of trouble for his disciples. So he 'died of illness' in exile, and from then on he retreated into the mountains to cultivate Taoism, no longer concerned with worldly affairs."
"After entering the mountain, his master, the Immortal Jade Staff, warned him that if he devoted himself to cultivation and never set foot on the earthly world again, he would achieve perfect merit and ascend to heaven in five hundred years. If he refused to settle his mind, his life would be filled with setbacks, and his cultivation might be ruined."
Haoran boy looked gloomy and said, "The five hundred years haven't come yet. What if the master's prophecy comes true?"
Wen Mengchun immediately said, "We have to persuade our uncle. His meritorious service is about to be fulfilled. Why is he wading through this muddy water?"
Meng Hua was silent for a while, then said, "I'm afraid it will be difficult to persuade him."
Wen Mengchun suddenly became excited and asked, "Why? Master is like this too, and so is my uncle. They could live a carefree life, but they insist on going to the human world to suffer!"
His eyes suddenly turned red and his chest heaved violently.
Gong Mengbi understood that he was thinking of Master Huolong.
Meng Hua patted him on the back and said, "If they didn't have similar personalities, they wouldn't be able to get along."
Wen Mengchun glanced at Menghua, his throat choked, but he didn't say anything else.
Gong Mengbi knew that what he wanted to say was that Menghua had the same personality as them.
Haoran boy said: "Master has ascended to heaven. Who can stop him from going down the mountain?"
He took the Dragon Binding Rope in his hand and exhaled a breath of energy on it, causing it to slowly tremble. He glanced at the rope and said, "I'm going to sacrifice and refine the Dragon Binding Rope. When he comes down the mountain, don't try to get rid of me."
The boy Haoran also went into the cave, leaving only Gong Mengbi and the other two in the yard.
Seeing Wen Mengchun's sorrow, Menghua remained silent. Gong Mengbi took the initiative to talk about what happened after they last parted. He focused on the story of how True Man Huolong was reincarnated on February 2nd and how the Yaksha ghost came into the world to look for him. He also talked about how he learned the Flying Dragon Sword Technique from True Man Huolong.
They all knew about the reincarnation of True Man Huolong. Mr. Yuan Ming had already figured it out and told them, but they didn't know the specific details.
Meng Hua said: "I said that Brother Gong was one of my Sword Immortals. It seems that Master sees the same thing as me."
When talking about swordsmanship, Menghua has endless things to say.
Wen Mengchun was a genius in alchemy, but he was not a swordsman. He found it boring to listen to them talking about swordsmanship, so he turned around and went to make medicine.
After Wen Mengchun moved away, Meng Hua finally breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "It was you who saved me."
Meng Hua was well aware of Wen Mengchun's complaints. Fire Dragon Immortal's personality was practically identical to his.
True Man Huolong was willing to risk his life to rush to the imperial capital, and Menghua was also willing to risk his life for the righteousness in his heart.
Gong Mengbi said: "Meng Chun is just worried about you."
Meng Hua smiled bitterly and said, "I know."
When Wen Mengchun first arrived at Xuanyuan Cave, he'd dreamt of his master being robbed. Now that Master Yuanming was also leaving the mountain, Haoran had to follow. With Menghua's temperament, it was probably a pipe dream for him to remain in seclusion in the mountains.
If it were Gong Mengbi, he would probably be so worried that he couldn't sleep.
Gong Mengbi patted his shoulder and said, "Refine the Dragon Suppression Stone well. This thing is very important to you."
The path of the Sword Immortal is to forge steel through repeated tempering. With the Dragon Suppression Stone and the Qi Regulation Technique, the risk of "going too far" can be offset.
Although the method of Tai Shang Hua Long is a rare method of cultivation in the world, no one would have too many of the holy healing method of Li Qi Jue.
Meng Hua said: "With this spiritual jade, I will be able to quickly enter the sixth rank."
It was only a matter of time before Meng Hua reached the Sixth Rank. True Man Huolong's lineage was sparsely populated, and quality was paramount when recruiting disciples. If he couldn't even reach the Sixth Rank, wouldn't the lineage be cut short?
Sooner or later, Menghua, Wen Mengchun, and even Haoran Tongzi will be able to cultivate to the middle level.
Although Haoran was a servant, Master Yuanming had no disciples, so there was no difference between a servant and a disciple. Compared to them, Gong Mengbi, the wild fox, was the one who had to worry about his own cultivation.
However, the faster they practiced, the happier Gong Mengbi was. After all, a good relationship had been established. As they became stronger, Gong Mengbi would also become stronger.
After exchanging some insights on sword practice, Gong Mengbi said goodbye to them, left Xuanyuan Cave and returned to Lanyin Mountain.
As Meng Hua watched Gong Mengbi's spirit disappear, he also felt a sense of unwillingness to admit defeat. When they first met, Gong Mengbi was a ninth-rank cultivator, but now he was already a sixth-rank cultivator.
Thinking about it this way, I don’t know who is the disciple of the big sect and who is the wild fox Zen.
Gong Mengbi's cultivation was not yet complete, and his spirit could not leave his body for long, which could easily lead to his body becoming stiff and dead. During the day, he still needed the smoke from the small golden furnace to protect himself, to prevent the sun from damaging his spirit.
Only after returning to Lanyin Mountain did Fu Xin breathe a sigh of relief.
He had been gone for quite a while this time, and Fuxin was a little worried. He was serious about his work and even refused to go to the theater when the Skull God invited him.
Gong Mengbi was playing with the Dragon-Suppressing Cauldron. He didn't put in any effort this time, but he got a treasure for free. It was a good deed and a good result.
He closed his eyes, stretched out his four tails, rolled up the Dragon Suppressing Cauldron, and began to sacrifice and refine the cauldron.
This tripod is a dragon-suppressing device, but it's not a magical instrument in the common sense. Perhaps the methods used to refine magical instruments were different in ancient times, or perhaps this tripod isn't a magical instrument at all.
The fox-script and dragon patterns each possess their own unique charm, becoming so integral to the square tripod that they are difficult to separate. The fox-script and dragon patterns were not carved into the tripod after it was completed, but were already incorporated into the vessel during its casting.
As the magic power deepened and activated the fox-shaped dragon pattern on the tripod, Gong Mengbi suddenly stiffened all over and couldn't even use his magic power, as if he was a piece of rigid stone.
He was subdued by the Dragon Suppression Cauldron.
But his mind was absorbed in the fox script and dragon pattern. Gradually, with the help of the Tongtian method, he slowly understood the meaning of the fox script and dragon pattern.
When his magic power was exhausted and the Dragon-Suppressing Cauldron fell to the ground with a clang, Gong Mengbi lay down on the bed and breathed a sigh of relief.
The fox-shaped dragon pattern on the Dragon-Suppressing Tripod is very interesting, as it uses the opponent's force to counter attack.
Gong Mengbi used his magic power to trigger the Dragon Suppression Cauldron, and was subdued by it. The evil dragon was locked in the well, and if it tried to break the Dragon Suppression Cauldron, it would also be subdued by its own power.
The chains that lock the square tripod are not to prevent the evil dragon from escaping from inside, but to prevent anyone outside from touching the Dragon-Suppressing Tripod.
As expected, the ancestors of foxes were already proficient in how to use the opponent’s force to counter their own force. No wonder all of their descendants are masters in making connections.
