Chapter 339 Gathering

It was dark and almost ink, bleak and dull.

But in Ni Hao's perception, there was another golden light rising slowly from the northern sky, quietly reflecting into the depths of his eyes.

Wei Tao naturally also saw this golden light.

And compared to Ni Xun, he received even more information at this moment.

Da Brahma began to call again.

Perhaps because he was at the Cloud Observation Deck and was disturbed by Qinglin Mountain's atmosphere, the call this time was intermittent and mixed with irritating noises.

Wei Tao wanted to block it directly, but his attention was attracted by the noise and he listened with all his concentration.

He carefully identified the meaning of the noise and extracted a relatively clear sentence from it.

"Clearness is not clear, confusion is not turbid, closeness is inaccessible, far away is inseparable, and changes are endless..."

Wei Tao was immediately stunned.

"It turns out to be the content of Yuan Yi Hunyuan Chapter."

He held his breath and continued to listen carefully to the perception.

"In the morning of B, the meeting of the sun and the moon is called Chen, and the sun is at the end, so the tail star cannot be seen."

After a long time, Wei Tao finally recognized another sentence completely.

This time, he was a little confused.

Because although he does not practice Yuan Yi's secret method, he knows the contents of Guiyuan, Xuanyuan, and Hunyuan very clearly, and he can be sure that this sentence does not exist in them.

But at the next moment, Wei Tao's heart suddenly moved.

Another origin related to this sentence comes to mind.

"Oixing, could it be Ojuku?"

"If it is really Ojuku, then we can go one step further and deduce more content in the noise."

"In the seven constellations in the north, the bullfighting girl is weak and threatens the wall of the room; in the seven constellations in the east, the horns are high and the pan is at the end of the heart."

"Ojuku is one of them!"

As soon as he thought of this, he retracted his gaze to the north and fell on Ni Hao again.

I saw a touch of golden red that can only be discovered from a specific angle.

"After Senior Sister Ni's cultivation level began to improve rapidly, did you have any bad feelings?"

Ni Hao shook his head, "There is nothing bad about it. On the contrary, it feels very good."

After a pause, she continued, "But martial arts practice is like climbing a mountain peak. You have to go through bitter cold to get the fragrance of plum blossoms. So it is this feeling of getting better and better that makes me worry and doubt. I think it should not be like this, but it is And I can’t find where the hidden danger is.”

On the cloud viewing platform, the two stood side by side.

From late at night until dawn, they spent time communicating with each other.

When the morning sun rises from the gap between the green mountains, the spiritual spirit of Brahma in the northern sky gradually disappears.

The morning breeze brings a refreshing coolness.

The two of them remained silent at this moment.

An overlook below the mist.

One closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.

Ni Hao closed his eyes and fell into long thought.

Use people as mirrors to reflect yourself.

What's more, with Wei Tao, who has embarked on the path of attribution of all dharma, as a mirror, the whole night of communication immediately gave her a wonderful feeling of the rising sun shining in all directions.

After a long time, Ni Hao sighed softly, "After talking with my junior brother all night, I have a deep understanding. I need to go back and sort out my thoughts before I can digest it all."

Wei Tao nodded, "I'm going to see the Taoist master, senior sister, don't worry about me."

After Ni Hao left, he took a step forward and disappeared into the mist below the stage.

Soon after, facing increasing hostility, he arrived at the entrance of the Qinglin Mountain underground passage.

"Xiao Tao is back."

Gray mist surged, and Ning Xuanzhen slowly walked out of it.

"Disciple has met the Taoist Master."

Wei Tao stopped, and the increasingly older figure was reflected in his pupils.

In the following period, he recounted his trip to the Nine Sacred Mountains in detail.

It also includes the subsequent encounters with the Nine Saint Sect and Sun Xiyue and Yun Hong at Lingyungang.

"Unseen and unheard, all spirits are united. I am also looking forward to what level Sun Daozi and Yun Daozi will reach in the end."

Ning Xuanzhen casually sat down on a piece of bluestone and sighed tiredly, "Besides, before Xiao Tao came, Emperor Wu passed by Qinglin Mountain and came here to take a look."

Wei Tao took a deep breath, "Did the Taoist Master fight with the Emperor's Corpse?"

"If we fight, do you think I can still stand here talking to you with all my hair and all my tail?"

Ning Xuanzhen smiled lightly and said, "I was only ten steps away from Emperor Wu at that time, and I was even thinking about whether I could leave a whole corpse if I was crushed to death by the Emperor Seal.

Fortunately, he just stood in front of the bronze door inside, glanced inside, and then turned around and left without stopping at all. "

After a pause, the smile on his face grew stronger, "It's also interesting to say that before Emperor Wu came, first there was a strong Brahma spiritual energy passing by the side of Qinglin Mountain, which also caused a surge of gray mist earth energy.

At that time, I was still a little hesitant as to whether I should go out to intercept him in order to prevent the other party from causing any trouble in the surrounding area.

But not long after, the earth energy shrank inward without any warning. Before I could figure out what was going on, I looked up and saw the emperor's corpse approaching. "

"I still remember that feeling of sudden numbness in my tailbone and stiffness and coldness all over my body. I don't want to experience it again."

Wei Tao frowned thoughtfully, "Listening to Taoist Master's account, when Emperor Wu came to the mountain gate, he seemed to be a little more spiritual than when he just got up from Mianlong Town, and his strength level also seemed to have increased visible to the naked eye."

"Divine will, obsession, and body are integrated into one. It always takes a while to change from stagnant to more harmonious. If you think about it this way, it can be explained."

When Ning Xuanzhen said this, he suddenly changed the topic, "The Lord of the Golden Tent was seriously injured, and Emperor Wu followed him northward. Coupled with the appearance of Brahma's spiritual power just now, it seems that Beihuang is about to face a drastic change."

"What does Taoist Master mean?"

Ning Xuanzhen thought slowly and said, "A hundred years ago, Emperor Wu broke through the golden tent and wiped out the last bit of Brahma's divine will. So this time he enters the Northern Wilderness, it is very likely that he is going to tear Brahma into pieces.

If it is really done, I am afraid that Northern Wilderness will gradually become the same as Southern Xinjiang, and the threat to the Great Zhou Dynasty will gradually decrease. Maybe it can really protect the peace of the Central Plains for more than a hundred years.

So for us, as long as we avoid the huge crisis that may arise next, it will be a good thing in the long run. At least we don't have to worry about the huge pressure from the north in the future. "

"Possible huge crisis..."

Wei Tao's thoughts whirled and he blurted out, "What the Tao Master means is that if Emperor Wu returns from the Northern Wilderness, the next target will most likely be us?"

Ning Xuanzhen nodded, "Not just us, as long as Emperor Wu persists in his obsession and his physical body is still alive, maybe the entire seven sects of the sect are within his reach, but I don't know whether he is targeting the Yuan sect or the Qinglin Mountain area. The source of Qi.

This time the emperor's corpse passed by Qinglin Mountain. It was probably because of his arrangement during his lifetime that he had made Beihuang the first target, so he only stopped for a moment without actually taking action. "

Wei Tao sighed, "Then do we want to run?"

Ning Xuanzhen asked, "Do you think the two of us can suppress the emperor's corpse and all the masters under his command if we join forces?"

Wei Tao thought for a moment and finally shook his head, "After passing through the Nine Sacred Mountains and Lingyungang, the disciples have gained some insights and their strength levels have improved. Even if we are facing the Lord of the Golden Tent who has entered the Dharma Realm, who will win?" You have to actually play a game to know if you lose.

But if it comes to a life-and-death confrontation with the Emperor's Corpse, I don't know at all, and I shouldn't be his opponent yet. "

Ning Xuanzhen nodded slightly, "If it's what I think, since you can't fight, you must run, but when and where to run, you still need to plan carefully."

Wei Tao fell silent, and then spoke again after a long time, "If you don't want me to go to the Northern Wilderness in person, firstly, I want to watch the second confrontation in Emperor Wu's Golden Account, and secondly, if there is any change in the situation there, I can notify you in time. Mountain Gate.”

Ning Xuanzhen fell into deep thought, and finally nodded slowly, "Xiao Tao has changed from being haunted by Brahma's evil thoughts to being a person favored by Brahma's spiritual will, so this change is an opportunity for you.

And with your current level of strength, as long as you avoid the central area where Emperor Wu and the Golden Horde clash, there won't be much danger. "

"Without further delay, disciples will set off for the north tonight."

Wei Tao stood up from the stone bench and had just taken a few steps when he was stopped by Ning Xuanzhen again.

"Take your senior sister with me. I will have someone to take care of her on the way. It will also keep her away from Qinglin Mountain for a while, so as not to raise her cultivation level like this, which even makes me feel a little scared."

It's dusk and the sky is getting dark.

Wei Tao and Ni Hao descended from Qinglin Mountain and walked north hand in hand.

The two of them traveled lightly and quickly, leaving Qizhou in just a few days and entering the endless wilderness of the North.

During this period, Brahma's spiritual power manifested several times, giving the two of them the feeling that they were gathering momentum, waiting for the final explosion.

It can be regarded as pointing out the direction for them to move forward, so that they will not be like when Wei Tao first entered the Northern Wasteland, running around like headless flies for a long time.

After crossing a low slope, the two people suddenly stopped and turned to look west.

A few rays of cold light cut through the void, fleeting in the darkness.

Ni Haidai frowned slightly, "With such pure sword intention, could it be that there is a sword master from the Hidden Sword Pavilion nearby, also here for the change of Brahma's spiritual intention?"

Wei Tao did not speak, but looked far and wide, observing and sensing further into the distance.

After a few breaths, an inexplicable smile appeared on his face, "The spiritual power of Brahma manifested, and people from all walks of life gathered again. People who were hard to find before now appeared in the dim light."

Ni Xun turned around and asked, "Did Junior Brother Wei discover something?"

Wei Tao nodded, and his smile became more intense, "Just when the sword light illuminated the dark void, in addition to the sword master of the Hidden Sword Pavilion, I also discovered the aura of an acquaintance. He has always owed me something. , just take this opportunity to ask for it."

"What does that man owe his junior brother?" Ni Hao asked.

"It's nothing, just a few bones in his body."

…………

……………………

In the northern wasteland at night, only black and white exist.

Under the pitch-black sky, even the pure snow gave people a feeling of emptiness and silence.

A pair of slender ankles stepped on the snowdrift, making a crunching sound.

She was dressed in white clothes and carried two long swords on her back. Her figure was tall and straight, and her appearance was excellent. However, her whole body was enveloped in a substantial cold aura, which was even colder than the wind and snow in the Northern Wilderness.

A few green eyes quietly lit up.

There was also a low whimper, mixed in the wind and coming quietly.

She didn't mind this at all and allowed the prairie wolves to follow behind, neither speeding up to escape nor taking action to kill them.

Suddenly, the wolves scattered without warning.

Several figures were running rapidly in the wind and snow. Because the speed was too fast, the wind pressure generated plowed a straight trace on the ground and in the air.

Immediately afterwards, Senhan's sword light flashed, turning them all into corpses within a few breaths.

The woman in white stopped at this moment and turned her head to look in that direction.

The next moment, several men with swords on their backs appeared quietly, vaguely protecting the woman in white at the center.

One of them bowed slightly and said, "Miss Ye Yuan, we found the tent of the Northern Wilderness tribe in front."

"After traveling for so long, let's go over and have a rest and wait for the arrival of the Pavilion Master."

The woman in white furrowed her eyebrows and breathed out a breath of white mist, "You go and pack some things first, borrow a few tents, and prepare some available meals in advance.

The master of the pavilion is kind-hearted and does not want warriors to bully ordinary people at will, so you must have a better attitude after you go there. Don't scare those tribes and herdsmen, let alone kill people easily. "

"My subordinate understands, please rest assured, young lady."

The man nodded and quickly disappeared into the wind and snow.

The woman watched several people go away, but she stayed where she was and didn't move for a long time.

The cold wind is as sharp as a knife.

From time to time, large clouds of snow and fog rolled up, spiraling up and falling one after another.

She put on her hood to protect her hair from the ice shards.

"Since your Excellency is here, why don't you show up to see me?"

Ye Yuan waited for the strong wind to pass, put his hands behind his back, and lightly tapped the scabbard he was carrying.

There was a soft ding.

Swinging quietly in the dark night.

The next moment, a man in black clothes and robe slowly walked out from behind the slope.

He clasped his hands together and bowed, "I have a Zen mind and have seen a female swordsman."

"Zen Xin is a very artistic name."

Ye Yuan took a deep breath of the cool air and narrowed his eyes slightly, "Why did you stop me here?"

Zen said in his heart, "I'm just a little curious. After all, being able to sense such pure sword intent in the northern wasteland is something worthy of curiosity."

"Of course, it was not curiosity that prompted me to come here, but the fact that the girl has a destiny with the Black Abyss. She should join us to carry the spiritual meaning of the Dark Abyss, so that she can take one step further and truly understand the true meaning of life."

Ye Yuan frowned, "I think you are the master of the Beihuang Esoteric Cult. When you speak, you speak with the spirit of the Black Abyss. It's really weird and weird."

Zen Heart nodded, "Black Abyss is in front, Brahma is behind, and I respect Brahma as being in front. After breaking through the confusion, it is not difficult to understand that Black Abyss is behind."

"I don't care whether you are Brahma or Black Abyss. It doesn't mean anything to me."

Ye Yuan was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed, "But since you know my identity, you should know that when we practice swordsmanship, what we pay attention to when practicing swordsmanship is to kill gods when God blocks it, and kill Buddha when Buddha blocks it. A single sword slash will leave no trace.

How could it be possible to throw away the firm belief that you have always had and believe in what you call the abyss of darkness? "

Zen Xin sighed, his expression and tone extremely sincere, "I just hope that the girl can carry the spiritual meaning of the Black Abyss, but I never said that I want the girl to believe in the Black Abyss.

Because whether you believe it or not, even if you curse without any piety, the abyss of darkness is there, and it will not change in any way because of the girl's mind. "

Ye Yuan raised his eyebrows, and spoke in a surprised tone, "Oh? I have met tribal martial artists before, and I know the spiritual meaning of the tribe they believe in, but I have never spoken so casually and without any meaning like you. Scruples.”

After a pause, she smiled and asked, "Since the abyss of darkness is there, why don't you try to curse me?"

Next, Ye Yuan couldn't help but widen his eyes, as if he didn't believe his ears, and heard a series of disrespectful words coming from Zen Xin's mouth.

Not only the abyss of darkness, he even brought a little bit of the Great Brahma to Heaven.

"You can say this kind of thing without even trying to hide it."

"I'm afraid you are not a lunatic."

Ye Yuan was speechless and didn't even know what expression to make.

"If you are not a madman, you cannot become a Buddha."

Zen Heart once again clasped his hands together and said in a sincere tone, "Not long ago, I went to the Nine Sacred Mountains on the ground of Dazhou, where I met the Henglian Grandmaster who carried the evil thoughts of Brahma's rebirth in heaven. It was my meeting with him that made me... It broke the karmic barriers in my heart and made many things clear and clear.”

He sighed leisurely, "Whether it's Brahma or the Black Abyss, or even the spiritual meanings of the various tribes that the girl just mentioned, all the so-called complicated details and even fanatical beliefs of the people below are completely meaningless.

True piety is actually very simple, that is, as I just said, carrying the corresponding spiritual meaning, and then strengthening oneself. Everything else does not need to be considered, it is just the impression and restraint imposed on oneself. "

"After saying so much, Miss Ye should understand what I mean and make the right choice."

Ye Yuan was silent for a long time, "What if I still don't agree?"

"It doesn't matter if you don't agree."

Zen held the flower in his heart and smiled, "Since Miss Ye didn't make the right choice, we have to help you make the choice."

Click!

Ye Yuan clasped the long sword behind his back, and at the same time saw a shadowy figure appearing in the dark depths behind Zen Heart.

The atmosphere suddenly became cold and condensed.

It's about to break out.

But just after a few breaths, Zen Mind took a step back and quietly dispersed all the energy.

Then, he bowed and said, "Junior Zen Xin, I have met the senior Jiange."

As this voice sounded, an old man in blue shirt carrying a huge sword box appeared silently, his eyes like a deep pool flashed with a curious light, focusing on Zen Xin, who was dressed in black and black robe.

"Pavilion Master..."

Ye Yuan secretly exhaled a breath of turbid air, his back already soaked with cold sweat.

When the cold wind blew by, I felt bone-chillingly cold.

The master of the Hidden Sword Pavilion slowly said, "With Zen as your nickname, you should be a Buddhist disciple of the Beihuang Esoteric Cult."

"But looking at this kid's situation, it seems that he has turned away from the secret sect and become a person favored by the Dark Abyss?"

Facing the master of the Hidden Sword Pavilion, Zen Xin's tone remained calm, "The master of the pavilion has a sharp eye and can see the foundation of this junior at a glance. This junior has to admire me greatly."

The Master of the Hidden Sword Pavilion nodded slightly, "I heard what you said just now, and it seems that you have truly understood the meaning that the stronger the warriors of the Northern Wilderness are, the stronger the spiritual power of Brahma will be."

At this point, he turned his eyes and looked into the dark depths behind Zen Heart, but then shook his head, "But you haven't figured out yet, whether it is for the Black Abyss of Brahma or other manifested spiritual thoughts, what can He can be called a true warrior.

That's why a lot of time and energy was spent, but the results achieved were somewhat unsatisfactory. "

A flash of light flashed in Zen Xin's eyes, and he understood instantly, "What the Pavilion Master means is that only by advancing to the realm of Xuanyuan and truly having the ability to understand and perceive spiritual meaning can it be considered that the stronger the warrior, the deeper the black abyss will be." Do you mean strong?"

The master of the Hidden Sword Pavilion nodded, "After the mysterious sense, we have reached the basis of perceiving spiritual meaning, and built a bridge of communication between the two parties.

What is really important is the further master, the communication between God and spirit, the body and mind, the so-called harmony between heaven and man, the interaction and transformation, which can be regarded as providing help for the existence and growth of spiritual mind. "

Zen Xin frowned, "If the master is absent and the sense of mystery does not exist, the spiritual meaning will become silent or even disappear?"

"Disappearance is unlikely, but falling into silence is unavoidable."

The master of the Hidden Sword Pavilion smiled lightly and said, "Our sect has been passed down for a long time, longer than the seven sects of the sect. As the master of the pavilion, I know some history hidden deep in the long river of time.

For example, when Brahma replaced Black Abyss, what kind of bloody and cruel killings did he go through.

Another example is that Emperor Wu of the Great Zhou Dynasty pacified the Southern Xinjiang at all costs, and also recruited warriors from the Southern Xinjiang to go north to break through the golden tent. It is really amazing to use his strength with one hand. "

The Zen mind was lost in thought, and he gave a deep bow, "Thank you, Master, for your words and advice, which gave this junior a lot of insights."

He straightened up slowly and asked again, "The Pavilion Master should know that the Emperor's Corpse has resurrected since Mianlong Town, and now it has come to the depths of the Northern Wilderness. Could it be that the senior came here just for this battle?"

"Yes and no."

The master of the Hidden Sword Pavilion looked to the north, with a sigh on his face, "I am here just to observe the Brahma Jiao at close range, and to use a little Brahma's spiritual energy to warm up the sword. I have no intention of becoming an enemy to anyone.

In some matters, Buddha should have the same purpose as us, so I will show up specially to invite you to come with us. "

"Having said so much, Zen Heart Buddha should understand what I mean and be able to make the right choice."

Zen was silent for a moment, with a delighted smile on his face, "The Lord of the Sword Pavilion personally invited me, I don't dare to refuse in any way."
