Chapter 438 Stars

When Wang Ba walked out of the Rende Hall, he was still a little dazed.

"Uncle Song..."

He couldn't help but recall that he was the right protector in the Diwu Hall, giving advice to Song Dongyang and coordinating all the materials of the 25 departments of the Diwu Hall.

Thinking about it now, it seemed like it happened just yesterday.

Recalling Song Dongyang's extraordinary promotion of him and his many cares for him, and recalling the "uncertainties" in Chen State.

He couldn't help but be silent for a long time.

Beside him, Li Yingfu was also silent, his eyes were in a daze.

After a long while, he suddenly spoke in a hoarse voice:

"Chief General, I would like to take a day off and go to Xingdou Peak... to see off Palace Master Song."

Wang Ba came back to his senses from his trance, heard what Li Yingfu said, shook his head slightly, and sighed:

"Let's go together, I am taken care of by Uncle Song, and I should also see him off."

Li Yingfu nodded gently.

But the two of them have not yet reached Xingdou Peak.

Wang Ba suddenly stopped, with a trace of doubt on his face.

Although Li Yingfu was mourning in his heart, he also noticed Wang Ba's expression and asked in confusion:

"Chief General?"

Wang Ba slowly exhaled and said in a deep voice:

"I'm afraid I can't go now. The Sect Master has summoned me."

Li Yingfu was shocked and said quickly: "Since the Sect Master has summoned me, there must be something important. Chief General, go first."

Wang Ba nodded, and did not dare to wander around any more, and immediately went to the direction of Chunyang Palace.

...

In Chunyang Palace.

The polished black water-sinking stone floor was shiny.

But there was no coldness of the stone bricks, but instead a trace of warmth.

It even made people's magic power more lively.

The faint fragrance of smoke quietly soothed the little worries and sorrows in Wang Ba's heart.

Wang Ba stood at the bottom of the steps with his hands behind his back.

He lowered his head and stared at the stone bricks on the ground.

While listening to the conversation between Shao Yangzi and the new head of the Rende Hall, Du Wei, he felt a little uneasy.

"The master suddenly called me over personally, and I don't know why."

"Is it because Xun Fujun arranged the position of chief director for me, or has the master told him about my situation?"

Although he had met the master several times, he left after a quick meeting, and he didn't know much about the master.

However, according to the character of Master Yao Wudi, he rarely said bad things to the master, and other people also respected the master. I think the master Shao would not embarrass him as the 'chief director'.

"If it doesn't work, just quit the job, just so you can practice in seclusion."

Just thinking about it, he suddenly noticed that the conversation in the hall stopped.

"... Junior Brother Du, you go down first."

The gentle voice echoed in the hall.

"Yes."

Du Wei replied.

When he walked past Wang Ba, his footsteps paused slightly.

Wang Ba then heard Du Wei's voice transmission:

"Relax, this time it's not a bad thing."

Then he left the palace directly.

Wang Ba was startled.

At the same time, he immediately realized the problem with his state.

"Sure enough, I still can't cultivate my mind."

Wang Ba shook his head secretly in his heart.

He then let out a long breath of turbid air, and his heart gradually became harmonious.

And he also heard the gentle voice of Master Shao:

"I heard from Wudi...you practiced the Yin God's skills, right?"

Wang Ba heard the words, raised his head and stood up straight, then bowed, and then said:

"Reply to Master, it is true."

While speaking, his eyes calmly swept over the figure wearing Bagua clothes sitting cross-legged in front of the incense burner.

After not seeing it for decades, the figure was still clear and elegant, with a warm look, just like the earnest elder before.

Seeing Wang Ba coming, he smiled and waved his hand, saying:

"Don't be restrained, come forward and tell me the cause and effect in detail."

Wang Ba hesitated for a moment, thinking that since his master didn't remind him specifically, he must have absolute trust in the master, so he immediately told the origin of the "Yin Shen Da Meng Jing" and his guesses one by one:

"In my early years, I practiced this technique to protect myself, and then I met people from the Xianghuo Dao who came to search..."

Except for things related to life span, everything else was told.

Shao Yangzi pondered for a while, and suddenly said:

"Give me your hand."

Wang Ba was startled, and walked forward casually and stretched out his hand.

Shao Yangzi waved the whisk in his hand.

Instantly, countless whisk threads entangled Wang Ba's hand.

"Don't worry, you can use the Yin Shen technique with all your strength."

Shao Yangzi felt Wang Ba's nervousness and comforted him in a gentle voice.

Wang Ba smiled a little embarrassedly.

Then he immediately activated the power of the Yin God.

He transformed his palm into a piece of dead wood.

At the moment of his transformation, a subtle surprise flashed in Shao Yangzi's eyes.

The whisk quickly wrapped around Wang Ba's arm, and then his whole body.

Finally, it gathered at Wang Ba's brow.

"I want to see your spirit platform now. Don't worry, let go of the spirit platform's guard first."

Shao Yangzi said.

This time, Wang Ba did not hesitate at all and directly let go of the spirit platform's guard.

The reason is very simple. With the realm of Shao Zongzhu, it is easy to force his way into his spirit platform.

Seeing Wang Ba's decisiveness, Shao Yangzi's eyes flashed with admiration.

Then his face was slightly solemn, and the whisk turned from real to virtual, and quickly broke into the spirit platform.

After counting the breaths.

Countless fly whisk threads rolled back from the spiritual platform.

Shao Yangzi became silent for no reason.

Seeing Shao Yangzi's solemn and silent look, Wang Hao's heart suddenly tightened.

It's just that the other party doesn't speak, so it's hard for him to disturb him.

Fortunately, Shao Yangzi came to his senses quickly and noticed the undisguised anxiety on Wang Hao's face. He was stunned for a moment, then stroked his beard and said with a smile:

"Don't think too much. I just thought of other things. Your situation is not that serious."

After hearing what Shao Yangzi said, the expression on Wang Hao's face suddenly relaxed.

Unexpectedly, the next sentence made him feel excited again:

"But it's not that simple."

Shao Yangzi gently took back the whisk, thought for a while and said:

"If what I see is correct, this Yin Shen technique is actually a Shinto technique that was popular in ancient times... I remember that you went to Xihai Kingdom and fought against monk Tu Bizhou. It was practiced by monk Tu Bizhou. In fact, it is also a variation of Shinto method.”

"Shinto method?"

When Wang Bao heard this, he couldn't help but think of the incense and wish power he had harvested in the secret realm of beads. He also thought of the practice ideas of blood sacrifices to the totem beasts in Tu Bizhou exercises to gain strength. He suddenly thought deeply in his heart. .

Shao Yangzi continued:

"The advantages and disadvantages of the Shinto method are very clear. As long as there is enough incense, it is easy to achieve quick success, but the disadvantages are also obvious. The incense contains the distracting thoughts of countless living people after all. These distracting thoughts are like a long river, which can It can easily wear away a monk’s Taoist will, and after practicing for a long time, he will sink into it and lose himself.”

"So, not everyone can achieve the status of god... The more powerful the gods in ancient times were, the more ruthless and sexless they were. That's why."

Wang Yan couldn't help but nodded in agreement.

This can be regarded as supporting his previous guess.

But then another question came to his mind. After thinking about it, he still asked:

"Sect Master, before I saved mortals and received offerings from mortals, I encountered incense. I did have many distracting thoughts, but the strange thing is that this statue of the Yin God can intercept these distracting thoughts and feed back the power of the Yin God to the disciple. Disciple Don’t quite understand the reason.”

Shao Yangzi smiled:

"That's the first thing I want to tell you. Whatever you gain, you must lose something."

"You have benefited from it today, how can you know that you will not be able to repay it in the future?"

Wang Yan was startled, and a shocking suspicion suddenly came into his mind:

"You mean, the Yin God..."

Shao Yangzi shook his head gently:

"As long as you understand, you don't have to say it."

Wang Ba also realized something and quickly stopped talking.

Shao Yangzi couldn't help but have a happy smile on his face, obviously very satisfied with Wang Ba's understanding.

He did not stop, and then said:

"So, although the incense is good, if there is no solution, you still need to be cautious... You can go to the Treasure House of All Things and borrow some treasures that nourish the soul as appropriate. When you go through the Nascent Soul Tribulation, you can also borrow some that can protect you. The spiritual object of the divine soul, but unfortunately I am not good at the way of the divine soul. If it were Junior Brother Xun..."

After a pause, he naturally changed the topic and said:

"Since there is the first thing, then there is the second thing. Your guess is indeed reasonable. I have never figured out Han Xiangzi's plan before, but now I have some guesses, but... Han Xiangzi is old. The devil may have other unknown methods, and it will take some more time to observe.”

"Well, don't be in a hurry to go into seclusion first. It just so happens that Xu Ying has gone into seclusion and there is no one in front of my palace. Will you be willing to guard it for me for a while?"

Wang Ba was a little surprised, but he immediately reacted, saluted quickly, and said happily:

"Disciple is willing."

Being a janitor for the sect master didn't sound very good to me, but maybe staying next to the well-deserved number one person in the sect, even if he didn't have any guidance, just being influenced by what he heard and heard, was a huge opportunity for him as a golden elixir monk.

This kind of opportunity is something that even the Deputy Palace Master cannot ask for.

In other words, only some true disciples with great potential will have such an opportunity.

Seeing Wang Ba's straightforward agreement, the smile on Shao Yangzi's face became even brighter, and he couldn't help joking:

"Your temperament is different from that of Wudi. When I asked him to guard the gate for me, he was reluctant and had to let me add 20,000 merit points to him."

Wang Ba couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, but recalling his master's temper, it really seemed like something he could do.

But after all, it was exposing the master's shortcomings, so he couldn't agree with it, so he could only laugh dryly.

Shao Yangzi did not embarrass Wang Yan. He quickly put away his smile and said seriously:

"In addition to these two things, there is a third thing."

Seeing Shao Yangzi's solemn expression, Wang Ba was affected by this and couldn't help but become solemn.

Shao Yangzi nodded slightly and then said:

"When you returned to the sect just now, did you see the scene on Star Dou Peak?"

Wang Yanwei was a little surprised, and then said with a serious face:

"I see, Master Song failed to overcome the God Transformation Tribulation. The disciple is really a little..."

He paused, but after all he couldn't continue.

It was so unexpected and so sudden.

Shao Yangzi saw it, and a flash of memory flashed in his eyes, as if he saw his own shadow in Wang Hao's body.

In the past, he was also like this. When he saw the elders close to him passing away so suddenly, he felt so sad that he couldn't help himself.

Shaking his head slightly:

"After all, this is not a Taoist secret that he realized on his own. There is a high possibility of failure. Since he has chosen this path, he should have expected this result."

As he spoke, he gently opened his palms.

In the palm of his hand, there was a shadow of a little man who looked almost the same as Song Dongyang, with a dazed and slightly floating expression.

The lower body was blurry.

Seeing Wang Yan, the villain's eyes slightly sobered up, revealing a hint of joy:

"Nephew, are you back?"

Seeing this villain, Wang Yan was immediately shocked:

"Uncle Song?!"

Immediately he said with great joy:

"You, you're not..."

The little man smiled bitterly:

"The tribulation failed. Fortunately, the sect master and the great elder took care of me, and I barely managed to save a trace of my soul. However, it won't be long before my soul is completely gone."

Shao Yangzi's voice was slightly low:

"After all, I am not good at the way of the soul, otherwise... you may still have hope of recovery."

After Song Dongyang suffered this calamity, he seemed to have a profound enlightenment. Hearing this, he shook his head and said:

"Master, there is no need to comfort me. I am destined to live and die. I have lived so many years longer than ordinary people on the road of spiritual practice. It is enough to have traveled all the way to this day. I just lament that this life is ultimately stupid. Although I am close to the great road, I can't get it. , ended up like this.”

Wang Ba felt happy and sad at the same time after listening to Song Dongyang's words.

He couldn't help but said: "Master Uncle Song, is there anything that needs to be handled by the disciples?"

To Wang Hao's surprise, Song Dongyang nodded and looked at Wang Hao with burning eyes:

"I persisted until now and still haven't died. I just have one thing to ask of you!"

Wang Hao didn't hesitate at all and said immediately:

"Uncle, please tell me!"

Song Dongyang stared at Wang Hao, his voice was not loud, but it made Wang Hao's heart tremble:

"I want you to refine all the remaining Star Dou Peak cultivation in me!"

"Refining, Star Dou Peak cultivation?"

Wang Yan could hardly believe his ears.

He couldn't help but look at Shao Yangzi.

But Shao Yangzi nodded slightly and said:

"Although Dongyang failed to overcome the catastrophe, he had turned most of the Nascent Soul into Yuanshen. However, he failed to break away from the barrier in the end and was destroyed by the thunder tribulation. Fortunately, the thunder stones on the Tianji Peak dispersed me and Da The elders took action together and managed to save his body and a wisp of his soul. There was still about 30% of Xingdou Peak's mana in the body."

"I will take action to erase the will from these mana."

"If you refine all these mana, and the remnant soul of Dongyang passes on the inheritance and insights of Star Dou Peak to you, by combining the two, you can master the way of Star Dou at an extremely fast speed."

Song Dongyang’s remnant soul nodded:

"This is my last gift to my nephew, please don't refuse."

Wang Ba heard this, but still found it difficult to accept it, and said in confusion:

"But...why not pass on these magic powers to the disciples of Star Dou Peak?"

"Uncle Master's three levels of mana are enough to cultivate a Nascent Soul cultivator."

Song Dongyang's remnant soul was swaying slightly at this moment, and the consciousness in his eyes gradually became blurred.

Shao Yangzi sighed and explained patiently:

"Not everyone can accept Dongyang's inheritance. If his level is too low, he can't bear it at all. If he is a disciple of Xingdou Peak, his understanding will be inconsistent with Dongyang's inheritance, but it will affect him. If his cultivation level is high, Our own path has already been determined, so rushing into it will only lead to more losses than gains.”

"After many disciples in the sect, you are the only one who is the most suitable. You are the Tao of Ten Thousand Dharmas and can be compatible with almost all inheritances. Your realm is already at the Golden Core Realm, and you have not practiced Xing Dou Peak's techniques before. Although you cannot fully absorb them, But it’s not unbearable.”

"What's more important is that Dongyang's inherited magic power is tainted with a hint of the realm of god transformation. It can help you understand the path to god transformation in advance, which will be of endless benefit to you. This is the most valuable point of Dongyang's inheritance. "

Wang Ba suddenly understood.

Song Dongyang's remnant soul regained consciousness slightly at this time. He looked at Wang Hao and seemed to see the hesitation in Wang Hao's heart. Although he became weaker and weaker, he still smiled and said:

"Master Nephew, don't think too much. I also have some selfish motives. After you take over this inheritance, you need to take more care of Xingdou Peak in the future... Don't waste what I have learned in this life."

Seeing the weak appearance of Song Dongyang's remnant soul, Wang Hao finally made up his mind and raised his hand to bow deeply to him:

"Disciple, thank you, Master, for the great gift!"

"But as long as the disciples are here, Star Dou Peak will not fall!"

Seeing this scene, Song Dongyang's remnant soul suddenly showed a smile of relief, and he turned to look at Shao Yangzi.

"Sect Master, thank you for your work."

Shao Yangzi nodded lightly, and then swept the dust away.

A broken body fell in front of Wang Ba.

"Just use the Ten Thousand Methods and One Intention Skill well."

Shao Yangzi whispered.

Wang Hao immediately sat down cross-legged, glanced at the remnant soul of Song Dongyang, and then started to operate the technique.

Half a day later.

Wang Yan's fingers gently touched the ridge between his eyebrows.

There seems to be a star there.

"Although Dongyang's magic power is not known for its richness, even if it is three levels, it is not something you can fully absorb right now. I will condense it on your forehead, and you will absorb it during these days guarding in front of the palace."

Shao Yangzi warned.

Wang Hao nodded, ignoring the various key points of Xingdou Peak Kung Fu practice that came from the center of his eyebrows, and looked at Shao Yangzi's palm.

On the palm, Song Dongyang's remnant soul was left with only the upper half of his body that was almost transparent.

In his eyes, however, he was extremely clear.

He opened his mouth to say something, but in the end, he could not utter a single word.

Shao Yangzi carefully took out an octagonal box.

He put Song Dongyang's remnant soul into it.

"Master, this is..."

Wang Ba couldn't help but wonder.

Shao Yangzi didn't explain, and directly said: "You come with me."

After that, he opened his long sleeves and held Wang Ba, and the next moment he disappeared in Chunyang Palace.

When Wang Ba opened his eyes again, he found that he had actually arrived in front of a city.

The city wall was majestic and unfathomable, with the words "Tianjing" written on it.

"The capital of the Great Jin?"

Wang Ba was both surprised and puzzled.

Shao Yangzi nodded, and then seemed to think of something:

"You and Qin have some misunderstandings, so we won't go into the city."

After that, he took out the octagonal box.

The residual soul of Song Dongyang in the box has almost disappeared.

Shao Yangzi looked solemn, gently holding the octagonal box, muttering something.

The residual soul of Song Dongyang in the octagonal box seemed to have sensed something, slowly flew out, bowed respectfully to Shao Yangzi, and nodded to Wang Ba.

Then it turned into a stream of light and plunged into the Tianjing City in front.

Seeing this scene, Wang Ba vaguely guessed something.

Shao Yangzi sighed:

"Although Dongyang failed to pass the tribulation, he has already transformed into a primordial spirit, and can keep a little bit of his true spirit immortal. Even after many reincarnations, there is a certain possibility that he will awaken his wisdom and embark on the path of cultivation again...but we may not see it."

Wang Ba was silent slightly.

From Qu Shentong, he already knew that the sect would break out of the realm in the next ten or twenty years.

If everything went well, they would not be able to see it.

"Why not put it into the mortals in the sect? When the time is right, enlighten it and help it return to the path of cultivation?"

Wang Ba couldn't help asking.

Shao Yangzi shook his head slightly:

"How can it be so easy? The true spirit is put into the world. It seems to be here, but it is actually thousands of miles away in an instant. The heavenly way is dense and sparse. It is rare for a cultivator to get this opportunity. How could he leave such a loophole?"

"Let's go."

Wang Ba glanced at Tianjing City, as if he wanted to see where the true spirit fell.

But in the end, he got nothing.

Shao Yangzi waved his whisk.

The two disappeared on the spot. (End of this chapter)
