Alienated Martial Arts.

Chapter 275 Spirituality
The Northern Wilderness Grassland was filled with mist.

Just suffered a rare white disaster in decades, the heavy snow covered almost everything, and everything in sight was white.

In the depths of the snow field, there is a large water marsh, which together with the inflowing and outflowing rivers nourishes countless living beings around it.

For the nearby Northern Wilderness tribes, this water area is the basis for their survival, so they have been cherished and even worshiped since ancient times, and gradually they have the name of a holy lake.

In the center of the water, stands a small island that occupies a small area, but looks like a steep mountain.

According to many rumors that are popular in the Northern Wilderness, climbing to the peak of the Holy Island, it is possible to directly communicate with the divine will of the Great Brahma, completely wash away all sins, take off all shackles, and enjoy true peace and freedom.

However, apart from the blood of the royal family living in the golden tent, the nobles of the various ministries, and the masters and priests who can communicate with the spiritual meaning of the great Brahma, the other untouchables have dirty souls and low blood.

In the afternoon of this day, the wind and snow took a break.

A slender woman walked slowly and came to a low peak on the edge of the holy island.

She looked far and wide, staring at the surface of Mizusawa covered by ice and snow. The long skirt fluttered slowly under the blowing of the cold wind, outlining a beautiful picture suitable for movement and stillness.

Quietly, an old man in a black robe with a miserable face appeared behind her.

The woman didn't turn her head back, but said calmly, "Master Shengshi has not left the customs yet, it may be a bit of a coincidence for Senior Longsheng to come here, and we need to wait here for a while."

After a short moment of silence, she asked again, "Senior Longsheng recovered from his injuries?"

The old man in black robe shook his head, "Thank you Princess Huang Yan for your concern, this old man has only managed to control the deterioration of the wound, and he is still a long way from being fully recovered."

"Oh?" She frowned suspiciously, "With the high level of Senior Longsheng, is it impossible to control the injury?"

The old man sighed in a low voice, his voice was extremely weak, "The old man never thought that the spiritual backlash of Dafan Shengtian would be so terrifying.

No, that's not right, maybe that's not the spirit of the great Brahma born into heaven, but the maliciousness of the dark abyss suppressed by Brahma, but disguised as a spirit, it has been constantly eroding the old man's spiritual will. "

The woman turned around slowly, and a dense white mist gradually rose up, covering her inside, making it impossible to see clearly what was inside.

"According to what Senior Long Sheng said, are you sure that you were corrupted by the evil thoughts of the Abyss of Darkness when you realized the spiritual meaning of Dafan's rebirth?"

Long Sheng shook his head slowly, "I just have this guess, but I'm not sure, so I came here again to look for the holy master and listen to her opinion."

Speaking of this, he fell into silence, and said slowly after a long time, "In addition, this injury also let me know that after more than a hundred years of time, especially the accumulation of hidden injuries from confrontation and battle later.

Even if I am a master of metamorphosis between heaven and man, my spirit and body are already riddled with holes. Only by breaking through the predicament and making further progress can I truly reborn and gain new life. "

Huang Yan lowered his eyes, staring at a small piece of white snow below, "My lord Saint Master also said before that life is followed by death, and the old can only welcome the new. This is in line with the cycle of life and death between heaven and earth. road.

So even if a martial artist becomes a master, although his life level is different from that of other mortals, if he wants to pry into the mystery of life and death, and then seek longevity, he is still going against the sky, and there has almost never been a successful precedent. "

Long Sheng's face was serious, his gaze penetrated the gazebo, and he looked towards the increasingly dark sky outside, "It's a pity that the old man's talent is not high, and this time he was backlashed by the spirit of Brahma, so he didn't take a step forward and completely pushed the cathode away. Yangsheng's door.

If one can reach the level of a great master, one would be able to sweep away the gloom. Even if one still cannot get rid of the shackles of the cycle of life and death, at least one can get rid of the current gloom and slow down the accelerated trend of sliding towards the threshold of life and death. "

In the far horizon, dark clouds swept over again, and soon the snow and ice filled the sky and the earth again.

At this moment, a soft female voice suddenly sounded.

Although it came from nowhere, it was slowly flowing in the ears of the two of them.

"It turns out that the leader of the Dragon Sage is here, and I have lost my way to welcome you. I hope you will forgive me."

Long Sheng tidied up his clothes and gave a slight salute, "Saint Master, you are being polite. This old man's visit is still about the last time. I would like to ask the Saint Master to help me recover from my injury as soon as possible."

"I'm in the blood pool, and the leader of the dragon department will come directly."

The soft female voice gradually faded away, and disappeared without a trace at the moment when the wind and snow fell on the island.

Soon after, Long Sheng came to the main peak in the center of the island, and entered a secret passage that continuously extended downwards.

A bone-chilling cold wind came from below, mixed with dull and terrifying screams.

With a calm expression, he walked straight down the chaotic stone steps.

Until they came to a rusty metal gate.

Long Sheng took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled, feeling the deep chill gushing out from it, and stepped in one step at a time.

The inside was filled with a decaying atmosphere, as if what he opened was not an ordinary iron door, but a dark barrier leading to death.

Walk forward a little distance, and you can see a pool appearing in front of you.

Under the dim light, the water in the pool was dark red and almost black, exuding a strong fishy sweet smell that could hardly be melted away.

There is a square stone platform in the middle of the pool. A figure sits on it and slowly opens his eyes.

The closer he got to the pool, the more Long Sheng felt his thoughts were clear and clear. Compared with the constant suffering outside, it was nothing in the same breath.

"Long Sheng has seen the Saint Master."

Long Sheng stopped by the pool and bowed again, "Standing next to the holy master, it feels like I have come to the outer world of the Great Brahma, surrounded by all kinds of spirituality, even the trauma of the spiritual will It's getting better."

A faint sigh came from the pool, "I have been thinking about the situation faced by the leader of the dragon tribe for a while, but now there are two solutions, and it depends on how the leader of the dragon tribe wants to choose."

Long Sheng bowed and said, "Please speak, Holy Master, and I will listen carefully."

After a moment's pause, she continued, "The first method is that Chief Long needs to get rid of all the vulgar things outside, and calm down on the island to refresh his mind.

After three or two years in this way, the problems you face can be minimized and controlled within an acceptable range. "

Long Sheng was silent for a while, then slowly shook his head, "Three years is too long, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait, and according to the Saint Master, this method seems to be only a solution, not a real solution to the problem at its root."

"Then there is only the second way."

She slowly raised her head, revealing an extremely strange face.

The male face is on the left, and the female face is on the right, it's like finding two completely different men and women, taking half a face from each of them, and joining them together seamlessly.

Under the mixed cheeks of men and women, there are dense blisters all over the neck, like countless shining one-eyed eyes.

In addition, there are countless transparent tentacles protruding from under the white robe covering the entire body, all of which are submerged into the depths of the dark red pool.

If you look closely, it looks like straws that are as thin as hair. With every breath she takes, it will turn bright red, absorbing a large amount of water from the blood pool and pouring it into her body.

The tentacles surged, supporting her to get up little by little, and stood up from the stone platform.

The white robe slowly changed accordingly, revealing part of the arms that had been tightly covered before, but not even a piece of skin could be seen, and there was only fresh blood dripping with blood and incomparably terrifying.

Quietly, the strange thread twisted and surged, like a mass of dense hair, crossed half of the blood pool, and came to Long Sheng.

At this time, she said again, "The second way is to let me implant spiritual threads in the main body of the dragon department, let it intercept and share the malice that affects the spiritual will, and by the way, it can also help you repair the hidden wounds in your body, Slow down the rate of physical decay and weakness."

"Of course, this method also has hidden dangers, that is, in case the spirit thread backlashes back in the future, the leader of the dragon department will suffer terrible torture again, and even the extreme pain of not being able to survive or die."

"Spiritual silk backlash?"

Long Sheng thought silently, and then glanced at the figure not far away that even he felt horrifying, "Could it be that the current situation of the Saint Master is the result of the backlash of the spirit thread?"

"Yeah, if it wasn't for that, I wouldn't have come to the Northern Wilderness to suppress my problems with the help of the spiritual power of the Great Brahma, and at the same time look for a way to allow me to enjoy peace and freedom."

When she said this, a smile appeared on the face of the woman on the right side, but the face on the left side was still cold, "This is the possible price to be paid for implanting the spiritual silk. The Dragon Chief can think carefully about what choice he should make."

Long Sheng frowned and said, "I have also seen the powerful army created by the holy master with the method of spiritual silk before. Even the tribe where the old man belongs has three centurions, but I have not found any one who has the spiritual silk backlash .”

"The time for them to implant spiritual silk is still short, and we need to wait for a few days to see, and we can't generalize between people."

She smiled and said, "For example, the leader of the dragon tribe was able to practice all the way to the realm of the master, and even almost opened the door of Yin Yangsheng. Who among these little guys has reached the height of the tribe leader? level?"

Long Sheng inhaled deeply, then exhaled slowly, without speaking for a long time.

She was not in a hurry, and sat down on the stone platform in the pool again, looking at her nose, nose, mouth, and heart, and quickly entered into a state of forgetting things and me.

The two figures stood and sat, separated by the dark red pool water, thinking silently.

It wasn't until after the cup of tea time that Long Sheng secretly sighed, "I've made up my mind, so I'll go according to the second method of Master Shengshi.

After all, with my current situation and deteriorating physical condition, if I don’t encounter other opportunities in the future, I’m afraid I won’t be able to live for three years, so how dare I aim too high and think too much? "

"Master Dragon is sure?"

"I've made up my mind, so I won't change it, and I won't regret it."

"That's good, please let the leader of the dragon tribe calm down, let go of a little defense, and wait for the strange silk to take root in the body."

Speaking of this, her tone suddenly softened, "This time will not be too long, it will only take less than an hour at most."

"Master Long, don't worry. With me personally protecting the law and the benefit of the blood pool, there will be absolutely no mistakes in the whole process."

Time passed little by little.

Finally, all the weirdness quietly receded.

Expose the covered body below.

Long Sheng opened his eyes at this moment, feeling the spirit that suddenly became bright and clear, and the vitality gradually emerging from the depths of his body, a joyful smile appeared on his face.

He took a step back and saluted deeply, "Thank you, Master, for your help."

"Master Dragon, you don't need to be too polite."

She said slowly, "If the matter is over here, the leader of the dragon department can leave with peace of mind. As long as he is not seriously injured in the future, Guisi will not easily rebel against the chaos. This point needs to be kept in mind by the leader of the department."

Long Sheng nodded, and was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by a voice behind him.

"The golden dragon hundred under the leadership of the dragon department leader was wiped out just now. Even the young master Longyin, who was bestowed with spiritual threads by me, also lost his spiritual threads at the same time, and his body died and his soul disappeared."

"Yin'er is actually dead!?"

Long Sheng's body moved slightly, "Master, do you know who is so vicious and dares to kill the children of our clan?"

"I don't know exactly who it is, but I can roughly know the place and time of the battle."

Her voice was calm, without fluctuations, "And that person seems to have devoured a lot of my spirit threads. If the Dragon Chief is nearby, he should be able to sense the other party's existence."

"I see. Thank you, Master, for telling me about this."

Long Sheng restrained his expression, turned around and left with big strides.

She was the only one left in the pool of blood, reaching out her hand to touch the man's cheek on the left side, her fingertips even pierced deeply into it, and streaks of blood flowed out.

"Now I have the spiritual blessing of the Great Fansheng, and more and more Northern Wilderness warriors have entered my trap and become a help against you, so let us see, as time goes by, who will be able to fight against you?" be the last winner."

………………

Wei Tao braved the wind and snow to move forward quickly.

Instead of continuing north, he began to return south.

After meeting the centurion that hung the golden dragon flag high, he searched along the river for nearly two days, but he never found anything else.

It can be seen from this that the Northern Wilderness is too vast and sparsely populated. The various tribes are also chasing grass along the river and living in no fixed place. It is not easy to search and find information in it. It is very likely that a lot of energy was wasted, but it ended up in a bamboo basket The result of fetching water in vain.

It's better to return to the mountain for now, tell the Lord the information you have, and then make further plans.

Before I knew it, it was getting late.

At this moment, a deserted village appeared at the end of Wei Tao's sight.

He immediately speeded up and quickly approached the past.

During this period of time, he was either on a high-intensity journey or fighting one after another. Even Wei Tao felt exhausted. It is really a joy to find a shelter that can shelter from the wind and rain.

The village seems to have been abandoned for a long time, most of the houses have collapsed, only a few stone houses are left standing stubbornly in the howling cold wind.

Wei Tao randomly found a room to enter, and with the help of the last light before the night fell, he cleared out a flat open space.

Then a bonfire was set up, and a few pheasants just caught outside the village were plucked and cleaned, and grilled on it.

Unwrap the package, take out the dry food and seasonings seized from the Northern Wilderness Cavalry, throw them into a small pot, mix with snow water and heat them up.

Open the last two bags of spirits, wait until the soup pot boils, the chicken is roasted, and the rich aroma immediately fills the whole stone house.

Barbecue with wine, drink hot porridge, and listen to the whistling wind and snow outside, also has a different kind of wonderful feeling.

Suddenly, the sound of chaotic footsteps came from far and near.

Wei Tao frowned slightly, sealed the wine bag and fastened it tightly, and came to the courtyard in a flash.

In the second step, he had already crossed the half-collapsed courtyard wall and came to the road outside.

The cold wind mixed with snowflakes blowing on his body made Wei Tao, who was hot all over, let out a satisfied sigh.

A figure stepped into the deserted village at this moment, and then froze there suddenly.

She narrowed her eyes, her eyes were cold and full of murderous intent, "Who are you?"

Wei Tao quietly looked at the Beihuang woman a few steps away, with a gentle smile on his face, "I'm wearing this red robe, so I'm naturally a esoteric master, who are you?"

"A esoteric master?"

"Such a young esoteric master hasn't even shaved his hair. Are you lying to a ghost?"

The woman sneered silently, stepped in without warning, and violently attacked.

boom!
A blazing palm wind howled over.

Disturbing the big snowflakes, it also distorted the not-so-good-looking face of the middle-aged woman.

Oh?
She was even more impatient and urgent than him, and she took the first step to strike directly?
More importantly, looking at the moves she made, she seemed somewhat familiar.

Wei Tao's eyes were deep, like a deep pool, staring at her movements with some ecstasy.

At the moment when he was in a daze, the woman from the Northern Wilderness didn't stop at all, she stepped forward and slapped it down.

Her strike, whether it was her footwork or the angle of the shot, did not directly grab the center line, but constantly changed her position, and at the same time rolled a large swath of wind and snow, making it difficult to accurately judge her landing point.

And every time she changes direction, her speed seems to increase by one point, and her palm force is also stronger, and the knack of accumulating momentum and energy is almost perfect.

"This Northern Wilderness monk, he is still in a daze!"

At the moment when she made a violent move, the Northern Wilderness woman stared into Wei Tao's eyes, and clearly noticed that he was absent-minded.

"Facing my all-out attack, he dares to be stunned. I really don't know if he is self-sufficient, or he is simply scared and doesn't know how to deal with it..."

The Northern Wilderness woman clapped her palm, and suddenly such a strange thought arose in her heart.

"I remembered why there was such an inexplicable familiar feeling."

"Whether it's Liu Qingyuan's subordinates or Lu Zhihe's subordinates, the Xunli Division and the Martial Supervisor Division, there are people who know this ultimate move."

"Although it was used by this Northern Wilderness woman, it is much more powerful than those two people, but from the root point of view, there is indeed a connection in the same line."

Wei Tao's mind was racing with thoughts, watching her slap her down with her palm, and it was about to land on her neck.

But the arm that was raised half way down fell again, and the feet moved slightly at the same time, retreating a step back like a ghost.

boom!
At this moment, the Northern Wilderness woman's arms swelled, her nails popped out, and changed from palms to claws.

Unexpectedly, at the moment when the move was about to wear out, he leaned forward a foot without warning.

"It's kind of interesting."

"This trick has such a mysterious follow-up change."

"I don't know if Liu Qingyuan's subordinates only performed the first half of the move in front of me, or if this woman is so talented that she created the latter move herself."

Wei Tao's eyes flashed, but he still didn't raise his hand to stop him.

Instead, she turned slightly sideways while retreating, avoiding the position of her chest, and let her paw press on the left shoulder.

There was a crisp cracking sound, piercing through the dark wind and snow, and spreading far and wide in this dilapidated village.

There was also a suppressed cry of pain from the mouth of the Beihuang woman who staggered back.

"Your agility is fairly nimble, and the final ultimate move is also quite mysterious and flexible. Unfortunately, because the physical body is too weak, the lethality of the final explosion is seriously insufficient. Even when I intentionally released the water, I was injured by the anti-shock. itself."

Speaking of this, he shook his head slowly, and sighed secretly, "If I hadn't used my shoulders to relieve the force just now to catch your grab after changing moves, but raised my hand to block it hard, the explosive explosion will Speed ​​up, you don't want this arm anymore."

The Northern Wilderness woman clutched her broken wrist, with a thin layer of cold sweat on her forehead.

She clenched her teeth and said word by word, "Who the hell are you!?"

Wei Tao said, "I should be the one to ask this question. After all, you are wearing the clothes of the Northern Wilderness, but you are performing the exercises that have been circulated within the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty. There are many doubts about you, and you have to be suspicious .”

She screamed, "I won't say it, just kill me!"

The voice was shrill and sharp, and it was heard far away under the dark night.

"People who really want to die have already killed themselves silently at this time, instead of shouting loudly like you."

Wei Tao's eyes flickered, thinking, "So, you are actually reminding your companions that there is danger here."

At this moment, a middle-aged man in a leather jacket rushed through the wind and snow.

Seeing the two people facing each other, the man's eyes fell on the conspicuous blood-colored red robe, and he subconsciously grasped the handle of the knife at his waist.

The woman bit her lower lip tightly, staring at her companion who was approaching soon, and suddenly slapped her away.

Wei Tao originally wanted to speak, but he automatically closed his mouth the next moment, watching the scene in front of him with great interest.

The woman was almost crazy, beating and scolding, "Are you a fool, my mother has given such an obvious warning, and you still have to come here to die!"

"Do you feel that you are brave enough to see death as home?"

"My old lady told you that you are a pure stupid pig!"

"No, at least when you hear the sound of killing pigs, other pigs still know they are afraid to run away. You are so stupid that you are not even as good as a pig."

The middle-aged man did not dodge or dodge, and received a slap in the face, his cheeks suddenly swelled up, and a stream of blood overflowed from the corner of his lips.

But he wasn't angry at all, he just smiled and said, "I've already let the others disperse and flee, as for myself, I'm naturally here to save you."

"You can't beat him, and you will die in vain." The woman sighed, her face pale, and she muttered to herself.

The middle-aged man still smiled, "Being able to die with you is better than running away and living alone."

While talking, he patted the woman's arm, blocked her behind, and looked at the silent figure not far away.

"Although your Excellency is wearing the red dress of the Esoteric religion, you are not a monk of the Esoteric religion, but a warrior who came north from the Great Zhou."

He stared at Wei Tao for a while, but his expression softened, and he spoke pure Dazhou official dialect, even with a little Central Plains accent.

Wei Tao was quite surprised, so he performed Zhan Wang Qi Technique to observe it, and found that this person's Qi and blood were really surging, at least reaching Qi and blood rank six, and it may even be the cultivation level of visceral training.

After a moment of silence, Wei Tao nodded slowly, "You are right, I am indeed not a esoteric monk, and this time I went north to collect information about the changes in the Northern Wilderness.

But I think you two are not from the Northern Wilderness, but spies sent by the Great Zhou court. "

The man smiled, "If you count by my ancestral home, then I am indeed not from the Northern Wilderness tribes, but I have been living in the Northern Wilderness for more than ten years, and many times I am more pure than other Northern Wilderness people." people from the Northern Wilderness."

Speaking of this, he let out a breath of cold air, "Both of us are Zhenbei Si Shaoqing. I sneaked into the Northern Wilderness to collect information more than ten years ago, and she has been in charge of contacting me."

Wei Tao nodded, "In this case, you have either obtained enough information, or your identity in the Northern Wilderness has been exposed, so you have to make a decisive decision and return directly to the south."

"Mr.'s eyes are like a torch, and I admire you so much."

The middle-aged man sighed, "At first, I wanted to hide for a while longer, to find out the detailed information about the preparations of various ministries in the Northern Wilderness to go south, but I didn't expect to be exposed during this meeting, so I had to run away in a hurry to avoid being hunted down. "

Hearing this, Wei Tao suddenly asked, "What kind of information did you find that made them sneak into Beihuang to pick you up at any cost?"

The middle-aged man's face remained unchanged, and he was about to say something to explain.

But Wei Tao suddenly raised his hand to interrupt.

"Don't talk yet, it's best to keep quiet."

After finishing speaking, Wei Tao lowered his eyes and his ears trembled slightly.

Listening to the information brought by the cold wind in the middle of the night.

Time passed little by little.

It wasn't until a dozen breaths later that he opened his eyes and sighed secretly, "It seems that the secret you have discovered is not trivial, and even a Grand Master of the Northern Wilderness chased it here in person."

"Grandmaster of the Northern Wilderness?"

The middle-aged man's complexion suddenly changed, "Your Excellency, are you sure that the Grandmaster of the Northern Wilderness is really nearby!?"

"I can tell you, it is certainly certain."

Wei Tao nodded, his tone still calm, "One more thing, the other party shot four times in different directions south of this deserted village, and they should have killed four people. I don't know if it was the subordinates you brought. .”

At this moment, a muffled bang came from a distance.

The ground trembled slightly, and large snowflakes fell from the trees beside it.

Wei Tao was slightly taken aback, "Now there are five people."

"Shot five times, killed five people!?"

Feeling the movement just now, the middle-aged man already showed a desperate expression on his face, "It's over, they dispatched the master so quickly, we will die if we die, the information in his hand is full of the blood of our colleagues, but It cannot be passed back."

The woman at the side turned her head to look, and her voice suddenly became gentle, "Brother Chen, we can give the last secret letter to this gentleman, and then lead the Northern Wilderness Grandmaster away in the opposite direction, so that it is possible to let the gentleman escape from danger." , and then pass the information back to Zhenbei Division."

Wei Tao was a little surprised, "Why don't you ask me to lure Grandmaster away, and then you guys try to escape?

After all, compared to the two, I am stronger and should run faster. "

The woman sighed, "In this case, the three of us are afraid that none of us will be able to survive. Instead, it would be better to kill the two of us, so that the strongest Your Excellency can escape with his life."

"What are your two names?"

Wei Tao said with emotion, "It is quite impressive for Zhenbei Division to be able to cultivate such subordinates."

"I'm Huo Ting, my concubine is Weng Yu, I will try my best to delay as long as possible, so that my husband can..."

Their words were not finished.

Wei Tao turned around slowly and looked towards the wilderness outside the village.

"Perhaps there is a third option."

He took a deep breath of icy cold air, and then exhaled slowly, "As long as we kill that Northern Wilderness Grandmaster and solve the person who caused the problem, then all problems will cease to exist."

Huo Chen and the two were stunned, not knowing what to say for a while.

However, at the next moment, a hoarse voice accompanied by Night Breeze filled them with surprise and doubt, as well as a deep confusion that was difficult to solve.

"The old man traveled day and night, and finally found you following the ray of induction brought by the spiritual thread bestowed by the holy master."

Quietly, the figure of Long Sheng appeared from the darkness, and he slowly approached, "Oh? You even subdued two Northern Wilderness tribesmen as your subordinates, so I will send you all to the underworld together, as a shade." Take revenge with my son and more than a hundred children of our clan."

Wei Tao narrowed his eyes, and the old figure in black robe was reflected in his eyes.

The expression also became serious at this moment, "You are the strongest Northern Wilderness Grandmaster I have ever seen, so in order to show respect for you, I will beat you to death with the strongest force later, and send you to the Grand Prix Brahma will meet with the clansmen in heaven."
