Chapter 287 Looking at Each Other

Qinglin Mountain, Cloud Viewing Platform.

A ray of sunlight penetrated the clouds and slanted down, reflecting the entire stone platform into a faint golden color.

The stone table located at the edge of the cloud viewing platform is still damaged.

Even the stone bench is missing.

Ning Xuanzhen sat still, looking away at the northern sky, and said in a calm tone, "I still remember that the head of the palace was sitting opposite and talking to me about things that were troubled by Xuan Nian."

"What did the teacher say?"

Ni Hao stood aside, his face calm and peaceful.

The golden sunlight fell on her body, casting a slender shadow behind her.

And the necklace she was wearing became increasingly crystal clear in such an environment, projecting a hazy and dreamy light.

"Over the years, I haven't found a way to crack it, so I can't provide her with better advice."

Ning Xuanzhen sighed slowly, "In the end, I can only give her the word "Suffer" and wait for the turn of events to come."

Suddenly, visions appeared in front of his eyes, and Ni Hao closed his eyes, still maintaining a peaceful expression, "What if the turning point never comes?"

"If the opportunity never comes, then just keep going."

Ning Xuanzhen glanced at his closed disciple, "If you don't give up, there is still hope, and when hope is wiped out bit by bit, you may get used to this kind of life day by day.

The so-called habit becomes natural, just like eating and drinking with ease and calmness. "

Ni Hao smiled, "Is this how the teacher came here?"

"The situation between me and the head of the palace is not the same."

Ning Xuanzhen was silent for a moment, "If I don't want to endure it, there is another way to go, and it should be a very wide and smooth road.

It’s just that over the years, I have never taken that path, and I will never take it in the future, so I can only continue to endure it. "

"Teacher, when you think back, will you regret it?"

"There is nothing to regret. There is nothing to regret about the path I chose."

Ning Xuanzhen laughed and looked up at the northern sky again, "You are still that person who doesn't care about everything. After I have told you so much, don't you care to ask me what kind of road the broad road is? , what pain will we have to endure on the thorny path?"

"What the teacher wants to say, he will naturally make it clear to the disciple directly. If he doesn't want to say it, why should the disciple bother to ask?"

Ni Xun slowly opened his eyes as he spoke, and looked towards the north together, "But after the teacher's guidance today, the disciple suddenly had some insights, and found out that the teacher's worries in recent years were actually related to the Great Brahma of Beihuang. related."

Ning Xuanzhen nodded slightly, "Forty years ago, after the battle in the Northern Wilderness, I was seriously injured. I thought that there was no hope of becoming a master in this life, and that I would even die in pain from the torture of all kinds of mystical thoughts.

As a result, he clearly sensed and captured the mysterious thoughts of his sect's skills in the dark, and then his cultivation level changed day by day, until he broke through the barrier and reached the state of the master where heaven and man are reincarnated. "

At this point, he sighed, "But after I became a martial arts master, I practiced intercourse between heaven and man again, only to find that the true meaning of my sect's martial arts and mystical thoughts that I thought I had was actually transformed by the spiritual will of Brahma, and it was within me. Taking root and sprouting in the body, it continues to grow and strengthen.

Then came the endless confrontation and torture. Even if I made it to the anode realm where the cathode and the yang were born, I still didn’t see the end of the darkness receding. "

"Great Brahma is born with the spiritual will of heaven?"

She was lost in thought, "The disciples went down the mountain a few days ago and had several confrontations with Beihuang warriors. It is true that they can feel a slightly different artistic conception from the warriors of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It should be the embodiment of Brahma's spiritual intention in them.

After entering the realm of Xuanyuan, the disciple has been thinking about what the Brahma Spiritual Intent in the Northern Wilderness is, and why there is no such thing on the ground where we live. "

"The spiritual meaning of Brahma is not a thing."

A faint mist surged, and Ning Xuanzhen stretched out his hand to rub the cold tabletop, his tone seemed to be in a trance.

"If you put it simply, you can think that it has no consciousness, no feelings, no emotions, and no entity. However, it is closely related to the various tribes in the Northern Wilderness, especially the practitioners in each tribe."

“But one thing that is clear is that the current Great Brahma’s birth in heaven, compared with the legends that have been preserved by various tribes in the Northern Wilderness from ancient times to the present, does not seem to be on the same level at all.

Even more recently, the Brahma Heaven of the Northern Wilderness a hundred years ago still lived the saying that divine will came, instead of the so-called spiritual will of Brahma today.

The reason why it changed from divine will to spiritual will, in my opinion, must be related to the fact that Emperor Wu of the Great Zhou Dynasty sent the masters from southern Xinjiang to the north to break through the golden tent in the northern wilderness. "

"As for why there is no similar situation in Dazhou."

Ning Xuanzhen sighed softly, "I have been thinking about this issue for decades, and during this period I also read and searched many classics, but I still couldn't really understand the key.

If Hao'er just wants an explanation, my teacher recommends that you go to Senior Sister Yu. She has a lot of stories that can be used to kill time. If you go and look through it, you might be able to suddenly understand. "

"If you don't know, you just don't know. What the teacher said is too irresponsible."

Ni Hao smiled and said, but his voice gradually became lower, "If the teacher had not chosen to fight against the spiritual power of Brahma, wouldn't there be corresponding torture?"

"Without confrontation, there will naturally be no torture, and there will even be greater opportunities waiting for me to reach out."

Quietly, the shrouding fog dissipated, revealing the figure inside that was as skinny as firewood and surrounded by the aura of death.

Ning Xuanzhen shook his head and said calmly, "But if that happens, I will no longer be me."

"Maybe it will become a zombie-like puppet, or it may end up worse than a puppet."

Ni Hao frowned slightly, "There are many tribes in the Northern Wilderness, and there are secret sect inheritances. Why did Brahma's spirit find its way to the teacher?"

"My teacher also wants to know what Brahma's spirit sees in me. Now that I'm old, I still won't let it go."

When Ning Xuanzhen said this, his expression became serious, "You are somewhat similar to the teacher when he was young, but you are more spiritual than me. You are the strongest Taoist in our sect in the past hundred years.

Therefore, after entering the realm of Xuanyuan, you must pay attention to identifying the Xuanyuan corresponding to the Hunyuan Secret Record of your sect. Don't make one wrong step like the teacher did, and almost lose everything. "

"What the teacher said, the disciple should keep it in mind."

Ni Hao nodded, but then shook his head, "But the strongest Taoist in our sect as mentioned by the teacher is no longer me, but should be Junior Brother Wei."

Ning Xuanzhen just smiled when he heard this, "I see that you two are indistinguishable from each other, and he won't have any objection if you say you are the strongest.

No matter whether he becomes the Taoist master or you take over the position of master later, there will be no disputes over this. "

He set his eyes on the necklace and changed the subject without warning, "Is this a gift he gave you?"

Ni Hao pursed his lips and smiled, "Junior Brother Wei has a very good vision. It can help calm my mind and reduce the torture of a lot of mystical thoughts."

"Wei Daozi went to the Northern Wilderness, but gave away treasures from the Southern Border. I'm afraid he put a lot of thought into it."

Ning Xuanzhen took another look and suddenly asked, "Did you meet the elders of Wei Daozi's family last time you went to Qizhou Fucheng?"

Before Ni Hao could speak, an old female voice came from far and near under the steps.

"Junior brother Ning doesn't sound like the head of the family at all."

Grandma Yu had already arrived at the cloud viewing platform while she was talking, "When we find some time, it's time for you and I to go down the mountain specifically to meet Brother Tao's parents and sit down and talk in detail.

First of all, they are also our Qinglin Mountain Daozi's family members, so they should have been invited to the mountain as guests.

Secondly, Xiaoxu is a girl's family, and it is only right that we, the parents of the mother-in-law, should take part in some matters. "

Granny Yu scolded her for a moment, then turned to look at Ni Xun, her voice suddenly softened, "This matter, brother Tao is just a fool, and the old woman is also responsible. From now on, Ni Xun, you don't have to worry about anything, my mother-in-law will help you." Thinking about it."

"Senior Sister Yu's lesson is right, it's Junior Brother's lack of consideration."

"Then wait until Xiao Tao comes back, then I will..."

Ning Xuanzhen's voice suddenly stopped at this moment.

He was silent, lost in thought.

After a long time, he gently exhaled a breath, "Senior Sister Yu, this matter needs to be put aside first."

Granny Yu's eyes flashed, and she turned suddenly to look north, "Did the Taoist Master discover something?"

Ning Xuanzhen waved his hand and said to Ni Hao, "Regarding the key points of practice in our Hunyuan Secret Record, I have sorted out and completed most of them, and there is still a little bit missing in the end. You can try to improve it with Senior Sister He Yu.

Also, I have thought a lot about the secret method of Vajra practiced by Wei Tao during this period, and the recorded thoughts are also placed in the Qinglin Hall. "

In the following period, he explained many things in detail.

Almost every detail is explained one by one.

Ni Xun listened silently, his expression becoming more and more serious.

Finally, he couldn't help but said, "Teacher, you are in your prime, why do you tell your disciples these things?"

Ning Xuanzhen was silent for a moment, then said with a gentle smile, "There is an aura carrying the spirit of Brahma, traveling all the way from north to south, and now it has reached the ground of Qizhou.

In addition, there seemed to be guests from the land of the past, arriving along the river and wading through the water.

As the Yuan Dao Master, I naturally wanted to go over and say hello to them, so as not to neglect the guests from Beihuang and Qinglian. "

Ni Hao lowered his eyes, "Even the teacher is not sure?"

Ning Xuanzhen stood up slowly and walked down to the Cloud Observation Platform, "In a life-and-death battle between Grandmaster Yangji and a fight for a chance of survival, no one dares to say that they are 100% sure of the outcome until the final outcome is determined.

What's more, I still don't know who the opponent is and what kind of killer moves he has, so it's better to make more preparations in advance. "

Outside Luoshui City, Qingfeng Guanzhong.

Li Kun set down a sumptuous table, and apart from him, the only one sitting there was Wei Tao.

The two of them drank a glass together, and Li Kun held the pot in his own hand and filled the empty wine cup.

Then he sighed with emotion, "I still remember when Daozi was in the temple. Many things are still vivid in my mind, as if they just happened yesterday."

Wei Tao smiled slightly, "The master's style remains the same, his complexion is good, and he looks younger than before."

When he said this, his eyes flashed, "I haven't seen him for several months, and it turns out that the master of the temple has entered the mysterious realm."

"There is something strange about this matter."

Li Kun drank another glass of wine, with a puzzled expression on his face.

"To be honest with Wei Daozi, I have opened the door to Xuangan a long time ago, but after I stepped in with one foot, I didn't want to be eroded by the delusion, so I He immediately backed out and closed the door heavily.

After a few years, I could eat, drink, and sleep, and everything was pretty good. But one night a few days ago, I seemed to have a dream, and when I woke up, I found that I had not realized it. Entering Xuangan again, I still can’t believe it until now. "

"What dream did the viewer have?"

Wei Tao asked casually, inexplicably thinking of Feng Qingping in Qizhou Fucheng.

Li Kun stroked the smooth porcelain cup and said slowly in memory, "I dreamed that I went to the Green Bamboo Garden where Daozi lived, and then I saw a person there and said a few words to that person. Just nothing.

But this dream was so real, as real as if I really went to Green Bamboo Garden after dinner that night and met that mysterious person. "

Wei Tao nodded, "Since I'm here, I will go back to Green Bamboo Garden to spend the night today to see what kind of ghosts and snakes are there that dare to disturb the temple master's peaceful cultivation."

"Don't think too much, Daozi, it should be fine."

Li Kun raised his glass again, "The old Taoist also thought carefully about it later, maybe I have been suppressing the realm for a long time, and I really can no longer be a coward and continue to linger at the perfect level of Zang training, so I was unknowingly. Delusions corrode the spirit, and one gets mystical feelings in one’s sleep.”

After the banquet, it was already getting late.

The two of them strolled along Qingfeng Temple until they came to the gate of Green Bamboo Garden.

Li Kun said, "The old Taoist has prepared the Qinglin Palace. It's okay for the Taoist to live there."

"It doesn't matter, I like the environment of Green Bamboo Garden very much."

Wei Tao waved his hand and pushed the door directly in. "There is also this training room. It's very satisfying to practice in it. Today is a good time to relive the feeling when I worked hard and broke through the sixth level of Qi and blood."

"In this case, the old Taoist will not disturb Daozi."

Li Kun stopped in front of the door and said, "What medicinal pills Daozi needs for his practice, I will send them to you right away."

"Then please trouble me, Master, to prepare some pills for replenishing Qi and replenishing energy. You don't need the others."

A quarter of an hour later.

Wei Tao breathed out a fiery breath, and everything in the entire small building seemed to be shaking slightly.

At this moment, he pushed the door open, took a deep breath of cold air, and looked up at the hazy moonlight.

Suddenly there was a soft squeaking sound.

The main entrance of Green Bamboo Garden was gently pushed open.

A Qingfengguan disciple walked in from outside carrying a medicine box.

"Daozi, this is the pill prepared by the temple master for you."

"Thanks a lot."

"It is a disciple's honor to be able to do something for Daozi."

The disciple of Qingfeng Temple bowed and said, "If Daozi has no other instructions, I will leave first."

"It's nothing, you can go back and rest."

Wei Tao reached out and took the medicine box, turned around and walked towards the practice room.

I was still in a trance in my mind, thinking about which technique I should start practicing and improve later.

After taking a few steps, he stopped without warning and looked back.

The disciple had already walked to the door, but at the same time he stopped and bowed again, "If you have anything else to do, Daozi, just give me your instructions."

"You are not a disciple of Qingfeng Temple."

Wei Tao put down the pill box filled with pills and slowly turned around, "You are a warrior from the Northern Wilderness."

"Wei Daozi has a good eye. I want to know how you saw the clues."

Even though his identity was revealed, the man did not show any panic. Instead, he straightened his robe and asked calmly.

As he spoke, his voice became different from before, becoming a little hoarse and dry.

"You acted so much like me that you almost fooled me."

Wei Tao sighed lowly, "But as an ordinary disciple of Qingfeng Temple, it is impossible for me to have such light footsteps. I didn't notice it until I got close to the courtyard gate.

Also, your companion was too impatient and sneaked into the building while we were talking. Since I was already suspicious, he naturally couldn't hide it from my ears. "

He spoke slowly, but his voice lowered involuntarily. His eyes were even a little dazed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Being able to become a disciple of the sect is indeed beyond the comparison of ordinary people. At least in terms of perception, it is quite impressive."

There was another soft creak, and a middle-aged woman walked out of the small building in Green Bamboo Garden.

"I said we should capture the person first and then interrogate him about the whereabouts of that thing, but Longyu you insisted on using other useless tricks and wasted too much time for no reason."

She said slowly, then stopped ten steps away, and her companions followed each other, surrounding Wei Tao in the middle.

Long Yu sighed lowly, "In the teachings I abide by, every time I kill someone, the ghost of that person will be entangled with him.

Therefore, my principle is not to take action if I can. Even if I have to take action as a last resort, I will try my best not to kill people. I will only seriously injure people and leave them breathing space to die on their own. "

"Then let me take care of it. You will finish the rest of the cleaning and finishing work." The middle-aged woman nodded, obviously already used to her companion's behavior.

"You have to be careful, this person is very powerful."

Long Yu narrowed his eyes and never left Wei Tao's side, "Since he is a disciple of the Yuan Dynasty, in addition to the six-turn Xuanyuan, he must be proficient in the secret records of the Hunyuan. This method can be cultivated to the point where the Qi becomes a perfect whole. It’s not easy to break the leak-proof true body.”

"Don't worry, I also know something about the Hunyuan Secret Record."

The middle-aged woman chuckled and disappeared without warning.

When he reappeared, he had already arrived behind Wei Tao, and grabbed him with his fingers like a dead branch.

"He couldn't have been frightened."

"How did he become a disciple of the sect with such a state of mind that makes him confused when encountering trouble, and how can he let Brahma's evil thoughts surround him?"

"Luan Yu also asked me to be careful of the Hunyuan Secret Record. I would like to see what kind of Hunyuan Secret Record he can display in this situation."

The middle-aged woman dropped her claws, and several thoughts flashed through her mind.

At the last moment, she even involuntarily withdrew some of her strength, fearing that she would catch him to death and lose the clue to find the Blood Lotus.

Click!

She pinched Wei Tao's neck without any hindrance, and then exerted a slight force with her fingers to subdue him in one fell swoop.

"kindness!?"

"This feeling!?"

The severe pain that came from her fingertips caused her complexion to change drastically. She felt that what she just pinched was not a human body, but scorching black iron full of spikes and poison.

"You, you, the Great Vajra Realm, the Tantric Master!?"

Chiying suddenly let go and took several steps back uncontrollably. She looked down at her torn fingers, her heart filled with surprise and fear.

Wei Tao shook his neck from side to side, making a crackling sound.

Under the silver moonlight, the faint dark golden light flashed away without even rubbing off the oily skin.

Only then did he raise his head and glance at the two Northern Wilderness warriors.

"You are just warriors in the Xuangan realm, but you give me a very strange feeling."

Wei Tao exhaled softly, with a thoughtful expression on his face, "I have been investigating for a long time, and I can confirm that only the two of you have sneaked into the vicinity of Green Bamboo Garden.

But I don’t know why, from the moment you stand here, I feel like there is a third person who is secretly observing my every move.

The last time I had this feeling was when I was in the ruins of Gui Shufang's manor and was directly watched by the spiritual spirit of Da Brahma descending from the sky, but if I think about it carefully, there is still a slight difference. "

"Forget it, my time is precious and I am anxious to go into seclusion and practice.

So I'd better capture you first and then hand them over to Qingying, a professional, for interrogation. "

Before Wei Tao finished speaking, he suddenly disappeared.

Boom!

The ground shook suddenly.

Standing inside the main entrance of Green Bamboo Garden, Luan Yu fell to the ground limply without saying a word.

Immediately afterwards, huge wind pressure fell, pressing towards Chi Yinggai in front of the building.

There was a terrifying blankness in her consciousness.

He wanted to turn around and run away, but found that he couldn't even move his toes.

Under the pressure of a life and death crisis, Chiying suddenly stopped drinking, her right hand suddenly turned red, and with the surging hot air, it rose up at the last moment, blocking the grasp falling from the sky.

boom!

The heat wave exploded, and the arm folded.

Because of the intense heat and pain, Chiying's originally graceful face became distorted and hideous.

A dark gold arm rushed out of the heat wave and still grabbed her neck.

Clenching her silver teeth, she raised her left hand like lightning, pulled out the crystal-clear hairpin on her head, and pierced it hard.

Click!

The hairpin barely pierced the skin and was blown away, leaving only a very faint red spot on the arm.

boom!

Wei Tao stepped out of the heat wave, gently took the extraordinary hairpin into his hand, and at the same time, he caught her neck and lifted her up high.

He looked at Chiying calmly, but in the deepest part of her eyes he saw many people walking slowly in the snowy wilderness.

They wore different clothes and moved stiffly, like living corpses that had lost their minds. They maintained a uniform formation driven by some mysterious force.

Regardless of whether they are men, women, old or young, every step they take takes the same distance. Even the frequency of arm swings is almost exactly the same, and no difference can be found.

As the crowd moved, from time to time a piece of human skin would float up in the wind without any warning, and then disappear without a trace.

Wei Tao calmed down and used all his strength to use the art of observing the spirit and observing the qi, concentrating his energy to observe carefully.

Suddenly, he saw a pair of eyes.

It appeared from the center of Chiying's pupils.

And it got bigger and bigger, until it occupied his entire field of vision.

At the same time, there was an overlapping voice that was indistinguishable from male to female, as if it sounded directly in his mind.

"Finally, I saw you, and both of them deserved their death."

Wei Tao took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, "You pretend to be a ghost, I'm waiting for you, and I will definitely make your demon death more satisfying."
