Chapter 267 Mysterious Immortal
"This is where!?"
Liang Yan suddenly sat up on the spot and opened his eyes to look at the world:
Everything you look at is either black or white, the entire sky is dim, and the surrounding scenery is like a splash-ink landscape painting. The whole world only has two colors, black and white, making everything seem so unreal.
"Have I not been stabbed to death by Qing Yixuan? Where is this place? Could it be that I have entered the underworld?"
As soon as Liang Yan thought of this, he immediately lowered his head and looked at his chest, only to see that the green wood sword was still inserted into his chest, but there was no blood flowing out, as if the sword was also part of his body.
"No, I seem to have experienced this feeling before. It's the Mysterious Immortality Technique!"
Liang Yan's mind suddenly lit up, and he suddenly remembered that he had experienced this wonderful technique when he first entered the world in the painting.
"Then am I dead now or not?" Liang Yan smiled bitterly and said to himself: "If I am alive, this sword is still stuck in my chest, and I can't feel any pain at all. If I am dead, then why am I still conscious now?"
He was talking to himself and didn't expect to get an answer, but he didn't expect that as soon as he finished speaking, a voice actually answered:
"Hehe, you are both a living person and a dead person. To be precise, you are a living dead person now!"
"who?!"
Liang Yan's expression changed, and he turned his head towards the source of the sound almost instantly, only to see that the source of the sound was actually a bright white ball of light.
This white light group seemed to appear out of thin air without any warning at all. It was floating above the altar table in the room, as if it was watching Liang Yan.
"Who is your Excellency? What do you mean by saying that I am both a living person and a dead person now?"
"hehe!"
The light group in mid-air smiled softly, and suddenly a dazzling white light burst out, and then a figure emerged from it. This person was wearing a black Taoist robe, with his legs crossed and suspended in the air, looking like a master of Taoism.
However, although this man showed his figure, his face was always shrouded in white light. No matter how carefully Liang Yan looked, he could not see clearly what he looked like.
"Could you be the 'seeker'?" Liang Yan asked tentatively.
"No!" The man in the white light shook his head and said: "I am just the weapon spirit cultivated by the 'Seeker' in this Jingyuan Tu, and I am the current owner of this magic weapon."
"It turns out to be Senior Qi Ling," Liang Yan said with a sudden look on his face: "But what you said just now, please forgive me for being stupid and confused, can you explain a few things."
"You have nothing to do!" Qi Ling seemed to be easy to talk to and answered directly: "The small world in Shang Jing Yuan Tu is the real world, it's just that the characters in it live here without knowing it. You were just celebrated by that Yixuan was stabbed by the sword, so logically he should have died. However, there was something inside you that saved your life at the critical moment, making you a living dead now!"
"Oh? What is it?" Liang Yan asked doubtfully.
"It's the sword bone in your right arm!"
As soon as Qi Ling said this, Liang Yan immediately subconsciously stretched out his left hand to cover his right arm, and at the same time took two steps back. However, he immediately thought that the person in front of him was the weapon spirit of Shang Jing Yuan Tu, so how could he hide this secret from his eyes and ears. He could only smile bitterly and said:
"Senior has a keen eye, you have seen all the secrets in this kid!"
"You don't have to react like this, I have no ill intentions towards you!" The weapon spirit shook his head in the white light and said: "Qing Yixuan used the sword made of 'Eternal Mayfly Wood' to kill you, the 'power of life' inside The surge was originally unstoppable to you. But coincidentally, the sword bone in your right arm contains the power of the black lotus. The black lotus is a symbol of destruction and contains the 'power of death'. Life and death in your body The intersection actually reached a balance in a short period of time, and thus spontaneously entered the realm of 'mysterious wandering immortals' in this painting."
"Is there such a thing?" Liang Yan said doubtfully: "All living things in this world are either born or dead. Since they are dead, how can they be alive?"
"Good question!" Qi Ling laughed and said: "This is the mystery of 'Xuanyin Wandering Immortal'. In fact, reincarnation in this world is not life or death as you said. There is a buffer between life and death. Zone, and the art of 'Xuanyin Wandering Immortal' is the magic that can enter such a zone. You can understand it as a reflection of light in the world. If you practice to the peak, you can even reverse life and death!"
"You have such magical powers!"
Liang Yan was slightly stunned at first, but then he still showed a suspicious look. Obviously, what the weapon spirit said was too shocking for him to believe.
Qi Ling looked at his expression and knew that he didn't trust him, so he immediately asked with a smile: "Did you know that the Taoist ancestors and the Buddha once discussed matters of life and death?"
Liang Yan shook his head and replied: "Senior Qi Ling is joking. With this little knowledge, how can this junior know the past events of the great masters of the three religions in the ancient times?"
Qi Ling nodded after hearing this and said:
"It is said that when the three religions were first established, the human race was stable. One day, the Taoist ancestors were discussing Taoism with the Buddha. On the white cloud lotus platform, there were clusters of flowers competing for beauty. The Buddha pointed at the clusters of flowers and said: 'One flower, one world, one year old. Withered and prosperous. Birth, old age, sickness and death, reincarnation is the fundamental principle of this world." After hearing this, Taoist Patriarch smiled noncommittally and said: "Eternal life is not immortal, and flowers also bloom when they fall. Life and death are not absolute. They can coexist. Become a great road!'"
"Immortality is not immortal, and flowers bloom when they fall." Liang Yan murmured with a puzzled face: "These words are too mysterious and difficult to understand with the qualifications of a junior. But now it seems that this 'Tao seeker' is indeed a Taoist sect." The man in the middle, the living gate of the withered glory formation before, is where life and death coexist."
"That's right! The world in the painting is vast and thousands of miles away. Everyone who enters will encounter their own opportunities. You are a sword cultivator, so you naturally appear in the Kunwu Sword Sect and become the elder of the Sword Sect."
The weapon spirit continued to say in the white light: "Since you entered the painting, you have driven away thousands of invading enemies of the Demon Sect in a few words, which shows the change of the situation; and then you understood the mystery in the Withering Formation and found the location of the Shengmen, which shows your understanding. According to The rules set by the 'Seeker' back then were that as long as you capture the Green Wood Sword in the final fight with Qing Yixuan, you will naturally get the 'Emergency Wood', and then you can see the restrictions left by the 'Seeker' inside. Me."
"What? It turns out that he wants me to seize his Green Wood Sword in the end!" Liang Yan thought to himself: "But I have already lost all my spiritual power, so what else can I use to seize the sword?"
The weapon spirit didn't know what he was thinking, but he still said to himself: "You did not successfully obtain the Aoki Sword. Instead, you were killed by the Aoki Sword on the spot. But just when you were about to die, the sword in your right arm The Black Lotus Sword Qi surges out. The mayfly controls life, while the Black Lotus controls death. The two qi of life and death reach a balance in your body in a short period of time, which actually inspires the mysterious art of wandering immortals in this painting, and finally will You have been brought before me, and now we can say that we have reached the same destination through different paths!"
"So this is what happened!" Liang Yan nodded slowly, and then asked the question he wanted to ask the most: "Senior said before that I was a living dead, so what does this living dead mean?"
The weapon spirit smiled slightly and said: "Living dead, living dead! As the name suggests, although you are not alive at the moment, you can not die!"
