Chapter 324 Royal Lord

The Nine Sacred Mountains at midnight have a different and gloomy scene compared to the daytime.

The night is black and the snow is white.

In addition, the cold wind can only hear its sound but cannot see its shape.

The three are blended into one and are indistinguishable from each other.

It makes people immersed in it, hoping that they will never wake up after being drunk for a long time.

Outside Mianlong Town, beside the mountains and forests.

Some people died, more people are still alive.

Some people are leaving and others are coming.

Both sides have their own reasons, and they follow the path they chose, and they pass each other in the darkness. I wonder if there will be a chance to meet again in the future.

In Mianlong Town, there is a mess of ruins.

Wei Tao helped Master Lingming Mountain close his eyes.

Although she had lost the breath of life, she seemed a little reluctant to cooperate. The eyelids touched by her fingers were stiff and tight, as stiff as gold and stone, and she was unwilling to close them no matter what.

Wei Tao believed that he was kind-hearted and could not bear to see his elders die in peace, so he increased his strength a little.

Stab!

After a crisp sound.

The Lord Lingming Mountain's eyes, filled with doubts, confusion, fear and resentment, were finally covered.

Wei Tao frowned slightly, then relaxed in relief.

Although she had not controlled her strength just now, the "eyelids" that were torn off from Lingming Mountain Master's forehead seemed to be slightly larger, covering her eye sockets with a vague feeling of incongruity.

But small things are exquisite, and big things also have great benefits.

At least these two pieces of fleshy skin could completely cover her eyes, preventing them from sliding down due to the influence of external forces, and did not destroy the windows of her soul.

This ensures the integrity of the vital organs on the corpse.

Boom!

Next, the already crumbling stone house suddenly collapsed and collapsed.

The Lord of Lingming Mountain was tightly enveloped, and a large stone and wood tomb was piled on the ground.

It can be regarded as not letting anyone die in the wilderness, and giving enough face and respect to the sect's seniors.

After doing all this, Wei Tao gently brushed off the dust on his sleeves and slowly turned around to look outside the town.

The breath that he longed for so much remained there unmoved.

When he further explored his perception, it gave him a faint, gentle, even inexplicable and strange feeling of closeness.

Gudong!

Wei Tao swallowed a mouthful of saliva subconsciously.

This strange sense of closeness has been driving him, telling him not to hesitate and seize the time to integrate it into his body.

"It seems that I have generally done a good job in taking care of senior Jingji's funeral affairs in Lingming Mountain. That's why I let another senior from the sect wait peacefully and didn't make a violent move as soon as he arrived."

Quietly, darkness began to slowly surge.

Starting from the outside of Mianlong Town, everything he passed was dyed into an ink color that could not be seen.

The darkness here is completely different from the night with wind and snow.

Not only was there no light, but it was also filled with the will of death that seemed to swallow up all life.

A faint sigh sounded, and the darkness gradually disappeared into Mianlong Town like flowing water.

In just a few breaths, the ruins where Wei Tao was located were isolated, as if they had become an independent place, struggling to maintain a faint light in the surging darkness.

It was originally a windy and snowy night, making it difficult to see even one's fingers, but in the end, against the backdrop of another completely different kind of darkness, it actually showed a bright artistic conception.

Such a strange comparison made Wei Tao a little surprised.

"I had no intention of showing up originally, but I sensed Wei Daozi's aura, and followed a hint of induction to come to you."

As the old gentle voice sounded, a staggering figure quietly came into Wei Tao's eyes.

Qi Taiquan's whole body was shrouded in darkness. Even with Wei Tao's eyesight, he could only see a vague figure and could not see the other party's face clearly.

Before he killed the Lord of Lingming Mountain, he had already felt the arrival of the dark aura.

I just didn't expect that Taoist Master Xuanwu would come so quickly.

From the moment a wisp of darkness emerged from the depths of the wind and snow to appearing at the edge of the town, it took less than two breaths.

Even faster than Luo Qingjun's final desperate escape.

Wei Tao's heart was like a bright mirror, clear and thorough.

Knowing that the other person is here just for him.

And he made it clear that he wanted to meet him in Mianlong Town.

So, since it’s hard to leave, just don’t leave at all.

The last confrontation with Hong Zongfeng also made Wei Tao very curious and wanted to experience for himself how powerful the Dharma Realm above the Yangji Spiritual Realm was.

And what kind of attraction can that breath that he desires so much bring.

But the development of things was completely beyond his expectation.

Wei Tao was already prepared to fight with him.

But when facing Qi Taiquan, who looked like he was chatting and reminiscing about old times, with no intention of taking action, he immediately suppressed all other thoughts.

After all, Taoist Master Xuanwu had no grudges against him. Seriously, he even took good care of him and was kind to him.

Whether it was the box of Xuanwu Pills or the Xuanwu True Explanation personally annotated, they were all of great help to him.

Wei Tao was silent for a moment, collected all his thoughts, and bowed.

"Last time, Xuanwu Mountain received a secret elixir from the Taoist Master. I have always been very grateful. Today, I have the chance to meet my senior in a small town in the middle of the mountain. I am very happy."

The darkness quietly dissipated, and the wind and snow covered the world again.

The figure hidden in it was also revealed.

Wei Tao glanced at it and his pupils shrank slightly.

Compared with a few months ago, today's Xuanwu Taoist master can no longer be described as clear and thin.

Not even a dying old man.

No matter how you look at it, he looks like a corpse.

Moreover, it is a mummy that exudes a weird and sweet smell that can drive people crazy.

Wei Tao slowly moved his eyes, and finally landed on the obviously different right arm of Taoist Master Xuanwu.

He held his breath and concentrated, and endured it again and again, so that he did not swallow a second mouthful of saliva in this situation.

"Seeing Wei Daozi again, I am even more surprised than happy."

"Not long ago, I called Pang Que to chat at the mountain gate, and I learned that he had defeated you in a martial arts competition, not once, but twice in a row.

It's just that when I met Wei Daozi face to face today, I was a little curious. Did Daozi owe him Pang Que the money he owed to his sect during the sect competition and had not yet paid it back, so he deliberately left him such a big face? "

Wei Tao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Please forgive me for being stupid, I don't quite understand what the Taoist meant."

Qi Taiquan's voice was hoarse and he said slowly, "A few months ago, Wei Daozi followed Elder Yuanyi to Xuanwu Mountain. At that time, you seemed to be still troubled by metaphysical delusions and had not yet been freed.

After seeing Daozi, I felt something in my heart, so I gave you the Xuanwu True Interpretation I used for viewing. I hope you can achieve something, break away from your delusions, and join the ranks of martial arts masters as soon as possible.

As a result, in just a short period of time, Wei Daozi had already passed through two levels of interaction between heaven and man, and transformed from virtual reality to reality. Not only did he achieve the Vajra Glaze, but he could even go one step further and step into the realm of the unification of yin and yang in the secret method of Vajra.

With such natural talent, perseverance and perseverance, Daozi can be said to be the only Vajra Yang Pole in the past hundred years. "

"In addition, I just watched from a distance and discovered that the mist that obscured your vision and perception when you fought with the Lord of Lingming Mountain should be the true meaning of Wuji Sanshou after the interaction between heaven and man.

Therefore, Wei Daozi is not simply a grand master of horizontal training, but a grand master of Wuji horizontal training. In time, he may even become a grand master of Yuanyi Xuanwu Wuji horizontal training.

From this point of view, except for a few of the younger generation of disciples in the sect, no one else can compare with you. "

"The only horizontally trained anode in a hundred years..."

Wei Tao savored this description carefully, and after a moment he asked, "Listen to what the Taoist Master means, a hundred years ago, the Beihuang Esoteric Cult also had a Henglian Grandmaster who unified yin and yang?"

"Yes, and there are two people, who are named as the Vajra Protectors of the Tantric Sect."

Qi Taiquan raised his head and stared at the gloomy night sky, as if he could see the bright starry sky above through the thick clouds.

"They have been sitting in seclusion in the Transformation Hall in the back mountain of the Tantric Cult, unable to cultivate. Even the other Tantric Cult disciples living in the Snowy Mountains, most of them don't know their true level of strength.

However, when Emperor Wu recruited the masters from southern Xinjiang and went north to break through the golden tent, the left and right Vajra protectors secretly went south from the Snowy Mountains, intending to lurk and intercept them.

Later, they were discovered by Emperor Wu and fought with the two men in the northern ice field. Since then, they have neither seen alive nor dead, and have completely lost all traces. "

Having said this, he lowered his gaze and looked at Wei Tao again.

His eyes suddenly became complicated and unspeakable at this moment.

It wasn't until several breaths later that Qi Taiquan continued, "Since Wei Daozi has become the Yang Pole, Senior Brother Feng should be gone."

Wei Tao nodded slowly, "If the Taoist master is talking about a little bit of the true spirit of Feng Huan Taishang, it has indeed disintegrated and dissipated, and together with the Luocha clan's spirit, it has disappeared."

Qi Taiquan fell into silence, and after a long time he sighed, "Time is like water, and time is like a knife, cutting and washing away everything. Therefore, all things in the world, whether they are spiritual or not, cannot escape the laws of birth, old age, illness, death, and formation, residence, and destruction of space.

Ever since the battle on the Luoshui River, Senior Brother Feng has been working hard to break this fear that makes him powerless.

It's a pity that people are unpredictable, and things in the world are unpredictable. He went through a lot of hardships, but in the end, it was nothing more than nothing. "

Speaking of this, Qi Taiquan suddenly asked, "Did Senior Brother Feng leave any last words before his true spirit dissipated?"

Wei Tao fell into memories and said slowly, "Senior Feng Yan said that he was self-inflicted and asked for mercy, but he could not live up to his former fellow disciples.

He also said that Yuxuan Weisi has great dangers, and warned others not to take it lightly. "

"Today I can see the Taoist Master and tell Senior Feng Zhen his last words. This junior feels much relieved."

"It is rumored that the mysterious threads are an ancient thing. They were reappeared in the world by Gui Shufang thirty years ago. There are indeed many secrets in them that have not been clearly seen."

Qi Taiquan slightly nodded his head, his movements slow and stiff, "Speaking of Weisi, on the way here just now, I saw Yun Hong, a Dingxuan disciple who was leaving. It also brought me great surprise."

"She, you, and our sect's former Sun Daozi, you all have taken different paths, but you are still considered to be the three strongest among the younger generation of our sect."

Wei Tao's eyes flashed, and his tone was full of curiosity, "Juniors are also a little curious about what kind of path Senior Sister Sun and Junior Sister Yun have embarked on."

Qi Taiquan took a deep look at him, but still said slowly, "Sun Xiyue cannot see or hear, Yun Daozi is the unity of all spirits, and as for Wei Daozi, you should be the attribution of all dharma in my eyes."

"Although the three of you were born in the Xuanwu, Dingxuan, and Yuanyi sects respectively, and you have studied the three chapters of Xuanwu Zhenjie, Dingxuan Essentials, and Hunyuan, you are not limited to things, the law, or the Heart.

Being able to break the shackles of the framework and take a path that even us old guys have never imagined. No matter what the future results may be, at least after taking this step, we will have the ambition and atmosphere to establish a sect. "

"Nothing is seen or heard, all spirits are united, all dharma is attributed."

Wei Tao repeated it, carefully thinking about and savoring the hidden meanings of these words, and suddenly felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart.

Qi Taiquan could accurately tell the secrets of Yun Hong and him just by looking at Yun Hong and him. He could indeed be said to be the leader of the first sect of the sect, as he could see far from the top and have a vision as bright as a torch.

"Then in the eyes of the Taoist Master, whose path can reach the end?"

"Can Wei Daozi tell me first, what does it mean to reach the end?"

Qi Taiquan slowly shook his head, "Different people have their own fates and take different paths. I am a young man with low education and insufficient vision, so naturally I dare not speak nonsense.

And your path can only be judged by yourself, and it will ultimately be tested by time. "

“There is rarely a perfect way to do things in this world. The most you can do is seek the best, avoid the worst, and take the best.

After making a choice and working hard, all that's left is to do your best and obey fate. "

After a while, he gathered his thoughts and said a question that he was very concerned about, "Senior has transcended the Yangji spiritual realm and advanced to the level of Dharma. So, can the Taoist master easily tell the junior what is the spiritual realm and what is it?" Dharma realm?”

"Reversal of vitality, from virtuality to reality, these are the two major signs of Yin and Yang.

In the Yangji spiritual realm, you can think of a transformation of the true meaning of martial arts, from a rigid dead object to the emergence of spirituality.

However, in terms of the improvement of strength from the real realm to the spiritual realm, this change varies from person to person and is more or less fixed. Some warriors can soar to the sky because of this, but others have not changed much. "

Speaking of this, Qi Taiquan suddenly fell silent.

After a moment, he sighed and said, "As for the level of the Dharma, it is truly a huge leap.

Just like the confrontation between Wei Daozi and Master Luo just now.

If she has deeply understood the realm of Dharma, she may be able to reach the level of understanding the emotions of all things and knowing what is going on before and after, and she will be innately able to make herself invincible.

Another example is Grandmaster Hong who guards the Four Symbols Hall. His method is to turn gods into devouring spirits and make external objects return to nothingness.

As long as it enters the area around him, whether it is the true meaning of martial arts or various powers, whatever he does not want to exist will be excluded. "

“It’s just that the spiritual realm can be sought, but the Dharma realm is hard to find.

The martial arts master is born from the yin and yang, and transforms from true to spiritual. No matter what, he has a relatively fixed path to follow.

But when you reach the realm of spiritual perfection and want to understand what Dharma is, the old saying that human power is limited comes true. "

"How many manpower are there?"

"Yes, human power is limited. Even if you practice martial arts secrets, no matter how strong you are, there is a limit. If there is no external power to rely on, it will be difficult to break through the barrier and take the step to perform the magic with your own body..."

Qi Taiquan spoke slowly, while Wei Tao listened carefully.

This situation made him feel as if he had returned to the Qinglin Mountain Cloud Viewing Platform, where he was sitting with Taoist Master Ning, discussing Taoism, and receiving instruction.

Time passed little by little, and the entire Mianlong Town fell silent.

Only the old and weak voice of Master Xuanwu flowed slowly in a small area of ​​ruins without affecting the surroundings at all.

After a long time, Qi Taiquan remained silent and turned to look at the mountains outside the town.

Wei Tao straightened his clothes and bowed, "The Taoist Master's advice can be called golden words of wisdom. It has really benefited the younger generation a lot."

Qi Taiquan stood still and accepted the gift. A gloomy smile appeared on his stiff face, "I felt this tonight, so I said a few more words to Wei Daozi. What he said may not be right. You can just take it as a Just listen to the story.”

After a pause, he suddenly frowned, "Wei Daozi, if you have nothing else to do, it's best to leave here immediately.

When leaving, try to take the body of Junior Sister Jingji from Lingming Mountain with you. After all, she is also a fellow member of the sect, so as not to be shattered into ashes in the upcoming battle and unable to keep her whole body. "

Qi Taiquan sighed as he spoke, "When I came here before, the Lord of the Golden Tent should have been deep in the Nine Sacred Mountains. I didn't expect that he could come here so quickly."

"The battle is about to begin?"

Wei Tao's heart moved, and he suddenly felt the looming Brahma spirit, appearing in different directions, completely covering the entire Mianlong Town.

Qi Taiquan showed a smile, "Originally, when I sensed the battle between Wei Daozi and Master Luo, I was a little bit happy and wanted to try Wei Daozi's skills to see how far you have understood the true meaning of Xuanwu.

However, when I thought about the fact that the King of the Golden Account and Master Beihuang were in the Nine Sacred Mountains, I had to give up this idea and just showed up to chat with you for a few words. "

Wei Tao nodded, but did not leave, "Aside from the King of the Golden Tent, does Tao Master know which other Northern Wilderness warriors have come to the Nine Sacred Mountains?"

At this time, the entire Mianlong Town had been shrouded in Brahma's spiritual will. Even if he wanted to leave, he had lost his best chance. Instead, he might as well stay and watch the battle between Xuanwu Dao Master and Golden Tent King Master up close.

Then wait until the two of them have no time to care about anything else, and then choose whether to leave or stay based on the actual situation.

"The golden-robed priest and the secret sect master are both great masters with perfect spiritual realms. Their level of strength should not be underestimated..."

When Qi Taiquan said this, his voice suddenly stopped.

At this moment, a ray of golden light shone into Mianlong Town.

A tall man with a rough face and a huge ax on his back slowly walked towards the two of them.

Wherever it passed, the glow was brilliant and golden lotus sprouted from the ground, dispelling all the darkness.

There were two more figures, one on the left and one on the right, following the man a few steps apart, and stopped at the same time a few feet away.

Wei Tao glanced left and right, and his eyes were attracted to the tall man in front of him.

Although they had never met each other before, he could immediately confirm that this tall and strong man was the real King of the Golden Account.

The King of the Golden Tent did not activate his strength, but his height was already close to ten feet. He stood on the street and even exceeded the stone walls on both sides.

He stood at the intersection, lowered his head and looked down, "Master Qi, you disappeared invisibly the night before, calculated mentally and unintentionally, intercepted a piece of my Brahma spiritual energy and incorporated it into your body, but are you still enjoying yourself?"

"Originally, I was waiting outside the town for a while, just to wait for you to eat this young man before coming back, but the result was a bit disappointing. I didn't see whether the yin and yang of the Henglian Grandmaster could block the Tao Master's influence on life. Devour.”

Qi Taiquan said, "With the Royal Master and others by my side, I haven't lost my mind yet, so naturally I won't attack anyone in the sect."

"You gave Tao Master a chance, but you didn't take it yourself, so you can't blame me."

The Lord of the Golden Account slowly raised his hand, grasped the dark gold ax handle as thick as the mouth of a bowl, and took it off bit by bit.

Boom!

The ax blade hit the ground, causing the entire Mianlong Town to tremble slightly.

Qi Tai was completely expressionless, with ink and darkness surging all over his body. At this moment, he was completely covered by the reflected golden light.

The two were distinct and quiet at the same time.

The two sides faced each other in silence, with no one making the first move. They seemed to be preparing and accumulating, waiting for the best time.

The skinny old monk standing behind the King of the Golden Tent opened his eyes at this moment, and his gaze fell on Wei Tao, without concealing the blazing light.

The golden-robed priest retreated some distance back.

The eyes observe the nose, the nose observes the mouth, and the mouth observes the heart, firmly guarding the back of the King of the Golden Tent.

"On top of the diamond-glazed glass, yin and yang merge and become one."

"A hundred years have passed, but I never thought that after the left and right Vajra Protector, the next master of Yangji Henglian would appear in the territory of Great Zhou."

The great master of the Tantric Sect sighed secretly and took a step forward.

A series of air blasts suddenly sounded.

He appeared in front of Wei Tao without warning, stretched out his arm like a dead branch, tore through the dark wind and snow and grabbed it downwards.

Boom!

Rolling thunder exploded in the center of the town.

A figure suddenly flew out.

It penetrated and pushed through a large area of ​​ruins, raising large amounts of smoke and dust along the way.

"A great master with a perfect spiritual realm, this is what happened?"

"The so-called great master of Tantric Buddhism, are you looking down on me and wasting all the psychological construction I have done?"

Wei Tao retracted the punch mark and slowly stood upright from the ground filled with dark cracks.

Wow!

Ji Yuan walked out from the depths of the ruins, stepped onto the lotus platform that quietly appeared in front of him, and then submerged into the golden Buddha statue sitting on it.

The two seem to be one, indistinguishable from each other.

"I underestimated you, and you actually mastered such a terrifying boxing style, which makes up for the biggest shortcoming of Grandmaster Heng Lian."

Ji Yuan walked down the lotus platform and disappeared without any warning.

The next moment, the golden Buddha statue appeared in front of Wei Tao.

In an instant, there were bursts of Sanskrit sounds and flowers fell like rain.

Surrounded by the golden Buddha statue, people can't help but want to worship and immerse themselves in it.

Ji Yuan raised his hand to pick up the flower, then raised his palm with his backhand and pressed it down with a bang.

Boom! ! !

A more violent thunder exploded.

The golden light was scattered, the ground collapsed, and smoke and dust rose.

Another figure suddenly flew out and landed in the same position as before.

It even smashed a large pit into a large area of ​​the ground, and a bottomless black crack appeared at the bottom of the pit.

Snapped!

Bang bang!

A whistling sound like a long whip came from the depths of the smoke.

It was at this moment that Master Xuanwu and the King of the Golden Account took action.

However, it was not a confrontation, but all turned their heads and looked towards the open space in the center of the market town.

Their eyes passed through the smoke and dust, but were blocked by a cloud of mist.

Their eyes lit up with faint light at the same time, and they finally saw what was going on inside.

In that open space, a ferocious and terrifying body covered with cloud-patterned black scales, covered with sharp bone spurs, with a long snake tail behind it, and feathers spread out, stood quietly and silently in the smoke and dust, looking at it as if it had just arrived in the world. of demons.

Qi Taiquan was slightly startled, "Before, I was still far away and could not observe as carefully as I do now. I just thought that he practiced many disciplines and had broken through Wuji and Vajra to a level above that of a master.

But he didn't expect that he would achieve the goal in one step and become the great master of Xuanwu Lingming Wuji horizontal training.

From this point of view, the evaluation of the attribution of all dharmas is not a compliment to him, but a fact to a certain extent. "

"Something seems wrong."

When Qi Taiquan thought of this, his heart suddenly moved, "As a Yuan Dao disciple, he should have practiced the Hunyuan secret method deeply.

Therefore, he has not shown his full strength until now, but has hidden the strongest Hunyuan mood somewhere. "

The Lord of the Golden Account frowned slightly, and a little light of surprise flashed in the dark gold pupils, "Just now, Saint Master Luo had a confrontation with this person, and Master Ji Yuan sensed the aura of the Yin and Yang of the Vajra Secret Technique from a distance."

“But now it seems that this young man is not just a great master of Yangji horizontal training.

Instead, it integrates the sect and the secret teachings into one place, and may even incorporate them into the body, creating a path that makes my eyes light up. "

"Compared to Qi Taiquan, who is entering his twilight years, if this young man is allowed to truly grow up, he may become the next Emperor Wu of the Zhou Dynasty."

"So, letting him continue to live is not a blessing to our Northern Wilderness tribes."

As soon as I thought about this, there was a sudden click.

The Lord of the Golden Account raised the dark gold axe.

Qi Taiquan took action at this moment, sweeping the darkness into a big wave and suddenly crashing towards the golden glow.

boom!

The entire Mianlong Town was razed to the ground.

Wei Tao retreated some distance, staring intently at the confrontation between Master Xuanwu and Master Jinzhang, feeling the majestic pressure coming from him.

In his eyes, Master Xuanwu's method is the dark energy of death that swallows up all vitality and spirituality.

It has the same origin as the Void Xuanwu that I perceived before, but it seems to have a bit more twisted and crazy flavor.

The Lord of the Golden Tent seemed to be bringing everything under his control. The dark gold ax fell as if thousands of troops were galloping. Even from a distance, one could feel the wild and domineering meaning in it.

The two sides refused to give in to each other, and more and more violent collisions broke out.

"Is this the realm of Dharma? With my current level of strength, I am indeed still a step behind them."

"More importantly, watching from the outside is not the same as experiencing it personally. If I were to face one of them, I would definitely have a completely different experience."

Wei Tao breathed out a soft breath, turned his attention away from the fight between the two, and looked for traces of the great master of the secret sect.

The next moment, his heart skipped a beat without warning.

Just now I could sense this popularity opportunity from the bottom of the pit, but with the collision between Master Xuanwu and Master Jinzhang, the great master of the secret sect, Ji Yuan, disappeared unexpectedly.

What surprised him even more was that a different kind of aura faintly appeared deep in the cracks of the big pit.

Even the golden glow couldn't cover up the surging darkness that enveloped the entire town.

"Could this feeling be the disappearing ray of divine will?"

Wei Tao frowned slightly, "No, no, it's not God's will."

"This feeling is completely different from the divine will from the south that I felt when I was in Qinglin Mountain."

"It's something quite terrifying. It's deep underground in that fissure, and it seems like it's about to wake up."
