Alienated Martial Arts.

Chapter 290 The Cage
Luoshui is faint and flowing slowly.

But at a place close to Qingfeng Temple, a vortex suddenly appeared in the calm water flow.

Turning a corner and pouring into the newly formed ditch, it washed and stirred all the way, and even came to the gate of Qingfengguan.

The long gravel road has almost disappeared.

It has become this newly formed tributary of Luoshui, and there are curious fish in it, floating up and down, quietly poking their heads.

"How does Daozi feel now?" With the sound of treading water, Li Kun rushed to the bank of Luoshui River.

Wei Tao raised his head, his voice was a little weak, "Bodily injuries and internal injuries are not serious, and it will recover after a little time in meditation.

It's just that the true meaning of martial arts that I condensed in the fight was broken and scattered, and the follow-up is a little troublesome. "

"Watching the confrontation between Daozi and Grandmaster Yang just now, the old man really feels that these decades have been wasted."

While Li Kun was speaking, he had already come to the front, and took advantage of the opportunity to sit down in the muddy water beside him.

His eyes moved down and landed on Wu Yu, who was sitting cross-legged at the bottom of the pit, who had already died of anger, with a complicated expression in his eyes.

"Step by step from an ordinary person to become a master of the anode, this person's experience is absolutely extraordinary, every bit of his journey can be written into a wonderful book, which has amazed and praised many warriors.

But fortunately, he died in the hands of Daozi after all, no matter how wonderful the past was, it has already gone with the wind and vanished into thin air. "

Wei Tao took the pills from Li Kun and put them all in his mouth.

He closed his eyes, and waited until the pill melted, then sighed and said slowly, "Qinglian Sect Yue Sanren has a high level of cultivation and powerful levels of strength, and it will not be easy for me to win this battle.

In particular, this person's ultimate hole card move that was illusory and real at the end really brought me quite a lot of pressure. "

Pausing for a moment, Wei Tao showed an inexplicable expression on his face, "It's a pity that the agency was too clever to calculate, and it missed Yue Sanren's life.

If he is not too cautious, maybe the final result is that I can win, but I may not be able to really keep him. It is a bit emotional to think about it this way. "

Li Kun asked suspiciously, "Too cautious, what does Daozi mean?"

The medicinal effect of the pill began to take effect, Wei Tao exhaled a hot breath, and steam began to emit from his body.

He thought for a while, "If this Qinglian Sect Yuesan is a reckless man, and he doesn't care about rushing and fighting when he comes up, I will definitely win this battle even more difficult.

It's a pity that he wanted to take me down at the lowest price, so he spent all his time to delay the time, and used it to plan and prepare the secret method of Qinglian, trying to induce the weak water spirit in the land of the dead to suppress me.

The result was that he bumped into the iron plate, and instead was devoured a lot of vitality. "

Li Kun was thoughtful, did not ask further, but nodded in agreement.

"Warriors fight to the death and fight for the chance of life. It is right to be cautious. After all, carefulness can make the Ten Thousand Years Ship. Sometimes a moment of negligence will cost your own life. You have to be cautious.

But if you are too cautious, you will become indecisive and indecisive, making it difficult to seize fleeting opportunities.

And if you don't know yourself and the enemy, and if you make a mistake in your judgment, you will be defeated and die as you should. "

While talking, the two got up from the bank of Luoshui River and walked slowly towards Qingfeng Temple.

"The Daozi made such a powerful move that the old Daoist was full of admiration and envy."

Li Kun looked at the canal that led directly to the view, and couldn't restrain his emotion.

"In the future, I'll greet those bastards, strengthen and expand the waterway that Daozi laid the foundation for, lead it into the yard, and connect it with the artificial river of the Taoist temple. It can also be regarded as a commemorative scenic spot."

Wei Tao smiled slightly, "I'm also very envious of Uncle Li's sense of mystery, and the ease with which he can close the door and leave."

"Daozi really flattered me too much. Free and easy is definitely not considered. The old Taoist just feels that he is old and doesn't want to eat that shit anymore."

Li Kun picked up a fish out of the water from the ground and threw it into the ditch with a wry smile on his face.

He glanced at Wei Tao's suddenly weird expression, and after a moment of silence, he sighed, "Don't get me wrong, Daozi, I have no other intentions, it's just because my own delusions are really deceptive.

The old Taoist clearly remembered the day when he had a profound feeling of breaking through the realm, and asked Zuo Shi to reward himself with a sumptuous meal, but he just took a bite of his favorite braised bear's paw, and he felt like he was eating shit.

Even when I ran outside to vomit, I smelled the smell coming from the hut downwind, but I couldn't restrain my saliva, thinking that the smell was very fragrant. This terrible experience directly scared me into a cold sweat, and suddenly felt There is no interest in living. "

The corners of Wei Tao's lips twitched, "Just listening to it is unbearable, and it's also hard for Uncle Li."

Li Kun slapped his thigh, expressing his deep agreement.

"Yeah, the key is that after I think about it again, my talent and aptitude are not perfect, and the most critical Hunyuan chapter of my school's kung fu is missing, so it means that there is no hope for the master of breaking the realm, and I will have to endure this for the rest of my life." Tormented by delusions?
It's better to fuck it, it's only right to go back and enjoy life. "

Wei Tao slowly operated the Vajra secret technique, his body surrounded by dark golden light.

Hearing the words, he couldn't help laughing, "It's a pity that Uncle Li wanted to lie down but couldn't, and finally stepped into the realm of mystic sense again."

After a pause, he then asked, "This time, can I go back again?"

"This time, there is no going back."

Li Kun sighed secretly, "It was still that weird dream. The mysterious man in the dream sent me into the door, and even kicked me behind him. As a result, I completely penetrated into the realm of mystic sense. I want to go back and look for it again." There is no way to come."

Having said that, he suddenly shut up and fell into deep thought.

After a while, he thought about it and said again, "The old Daoist recalled the experience of the two profound senses, and suddenly felt a little feeling in his heart, and I don't know if it can be helpful to the situation Daozi is facing."

Wei Tao said solemnly, "Uncle Li, please speak, I will listen with all my ears."

"Although the old Taoist has not entered the realm of martial arts masters, he does not know the secrets contained in it, nor can he figure out what is the mystery inside.

But the first time I was promoted to Xuangan, I quit again. In the dream where delusions came after I reentered this time, I suddenly discovered that starting from Guiyuan Gong, going to the sixth turn Xuanyuan, and then to Hunyuan Secret Record, the basic The kung fu method also has the true meaning of Xuannian.

Although after waking up from the dream, I never captured and sensed the corresponding mystical thoughts, but the scene in the dream was vivid and clearly visible, making people have no doubts about its authenticity.

What's more, there is a faint spiritual connection between these exercises, as if there is an invisible silk thread that connects them. At that time, I was thinking, if I can follow this silk thread to integrate them into one body, and then What kind of situation will happen.

I don't know if other warriors have similar feelings, but if you think about the situation of my two senses like me, even if there are, it should be very rare, very few. "

Wei Tao stared at him silently. After a long time, he clasped his fists and bowed, saluting, "What Uncle Li said is very inspiring to me. It may be very useful when I gather the true meaning of martial arts again. Not only will I avoid many detours, but even Potentially benefit from it.”

While talking, he stopped in front of Qingfeng Guanmen, "I won't go in, and I have to trouble Uncle Li to prepare some more medicinal pills, so that I can replenish my vitality and recover from my injuries on the road."

"If Daozi wants to heal his wounds, why doesn't he stay in the temple?"

Li Kun thought about it and gave a suggestion, "Whether it is the Green Bamboo Garden or the Qingfeng Palace where the old Taoist lives now, there are special medicinal bath rooms inside, so the effect of using both internal and external methods will naturally be much better."

Wei Tao shook his head, "I also want to stop and recuperate for a while, but I don't dare to stay in the temple for too long, so as not to bring you a bigger disaster."

He turned to look to the north, his gaze was deep and far away, "I killed the Qinglian Sect demon who went upstream, but there are still demons coming from the northern wilderness to the south.

She seems to have come here specially for me, and she has practiced some kind of weird method, which can locate the air mechanism through the spiritual will of Dafan Shengtian, and then trace to find my location.

So as far as I am concerned, the only option I have now is to run away, to temporarily retreat and let her be the edge, and after the injury is healed and fully recovered, I will meet her on a narrow road and compete for life and death. "

Li Kun thought for a while, and said decisively, "I'll go and prepare the healing medicine that Daozi needs, and then let Qingying and the others escort Daozi back to Qinglin Mountain.

As long as he can enter the mountain gate, with the protection of Daoist Ning, even if Grandmaster Beihuang Yangyang comes in person, he will be able to keep Daozi worry-free! "

After the words fell, Li Kun left in a hurry.

Only Wei Tao was left alone in front of the Taoist temple, silently watching the broken stone mound left by the fight just now, and the straight water channel.

He recalled the tortoise-snake basalt that was full of death and devoured life, and the long gray river that seemed to have no head and no tail, slowly flowing, and many doubts that he hadn't figured out could not help but arise in his heart.

Does the corpse of the tortoise and snake intertwined across the dark void really exist, and if it exists, is it a stiff and cold corpse?

What's even more frightening is that it can also devour life.

Not only the physical body, but even the spirit could not escape.

Even except for the two of them, the flowers, plants and trees on the ground, as well as the flocks of birds flying in the air, were not spared.

Although in comparison, even if he and Wu Sanren are all sucked dry, it is only a drop in the bucket, and it is impossible to see any changes at all, but if thousands of living beings are absorbed by it at the same time, what kind of situation will appear? ?
Wei Tao frowned, his thoughts turned again.

Wu Sanren's final blow appeared in his mind.

The lotus is everywhere, and the lotus platform rises.

Standing above it stands a figure that looks like a god.

It is no different from Wu Sanren's movements, and at the same time it forms a dharma seal and strikes forward.

"Yin deficiency and Yang deficiency, from deficiency to reality."

Wei Tao pondered silently, immersed in it.

Backtracking the collision with that figure over and over again.

In his vision, although the thing seemed substantial and lifelike, it should be just an empty shell of illusion.

However, when his Yuantai Fist Seal actually came into contact with it, he was extremely surprised to find that it actually seemed to be a real entity, not the illusory body that he saw in his eyes.

More importantly, the lethality it erupted.

If it weren't for the tortoise-snake fight with the sixty-level limit-breaker, the master of horizontal training who achieved success solely by the Vajra secret technique, might have been broken by the green lotus seal, leaving indelible injuries on his body.

Going further to deduce and simulate, even if it is broken into relics rolling all over the ground, it is still unknown.

Hurrying footsteps sounded, and they soon came to the gate of the Taoist temple.

"The subordinates are ordered to escort Daozi back to the mountain."

Qingying was dressed in a strong outfit, and she looked heroic, capable and capable.

Behind her, two warriors followed behind with their burdens on their backs, each leading two well-saddled horses.

Another carriage with cotton curtains stopped at the side of the road.

Qingying unfolded a fur cloak and helped Wei Tao put it on, "Will Daozi ride a horse or a car?"

Wei Tao smiled gently, "Riding a horse is faster, and you can return to the mountain gate as soon as possible. Taking a car is convenient for recovery and healing, and you can calm down and think. It seems that there are too many choices, and it is a bit embarrassing."

"That way, just take the car."

Qingying suggested, "It's true that riding a horse will be faster, but this carriage was designed and built by Uncle Li himself. The carriage is large and spacious. If four horses pull the carriage together, it won't be too slow."

Wei Tao nodded, "Then follow what you said, and return to the mountain gate in a carriage."

Under the golden sun, the snow is melting rapidly.

Even the official roads, which are regularly repaired, are muddy everywhere, and there are large and small potholes from time to time, making walking far less smooth than usual.

Wei Tao sat still in the carriage.

His eyes were half-opened and half-closed, and a divine light flickered within.

And in the depths of the consciousness, the phantom of the ink-colored lotus emerges, and the image of the turtle and the snake intersecting slowly manifests, and a black figure with a whole body stands in it, the trinity, fused in one place.

Suddenly, his heart trembled slightly.

Everything is like a dream bubble, like dew or electricity, all disappear in smoke.

Wei Tao opened his eyes at this moment, feeling exhausted and weak, and just wanted to fall into a deep sleep.

He grabbed a handful of pills and put them in his mouth to make up for the vitality needed to recover from the injury.

The wounds on the surface of the body are slowly healing, and the naked eye is getting better and better. If this trend continues, it may not take long to recover.

This is the powerful physical body brought about by superimposing the secret method of King Kong and the crossing of turtles and snakes.

Even though he has not yet reached the anode state and cannot possess the characteristics of reversing vitality, but in terms of recovery ability, he has not lost to the great masters of cathode and yang.

Wei Tao observed carefully, and after a while, his hands crossed and his five fingers touched.

Immediately, like gold and iron colliding, there was a melodious and soft sound.

He exhaled slowly, looking for a pill that could calm his mind and calm his mind, so as to relieve the severe headache caused by condensing the true meaning of martial arts.

At the same time, what Li Kun said in front of Qingfeng Guanmen kept echoing in his ears.

Wei Tao was not at all surprised that Yuan Yi's basic skills also had a corresponding Xuan Nian.

After all, he himself is a living example.

The cohesion of the true meaning of the turtle-snake trade is the embodiment of pushing the basic chapter of Xuanwu True Explanation all the way up.

What Wei Tao really cares about is Li Kun's statement about the silk thread between the exercises, the part and the whole.

It was indeed an inspiration to him.

More recently, in terms of the condensing of the true meaning of martial arts, one can try to reproduce one by one with tricks, and then draw the artistic conception together to form a whole without distinction.

It's even possible to go a step further.

Explore whether it is possible to blaze a new path, and take this opportunity to incorporate all the other methods that have been cultivated into it.

And if you think about it in the deep, if you can perceive and capture the mysterious ideas corresponding to the Rengui chapter, the Qisu chapter, and even the Mingyu chapter, and integrate them all into the turtle and snake cross, what kind of situation will be presented? situation?
Do it as soon as you think of it, without the slightest delay.

Wei Tao raised his spirits, and began to comprehend the artistic conception of emphasizing the secret method of Jin Gang through the mysterious and treacherous threads.

Then after a few breaths, he fell asleep directly on the soft cushion.

Even the carriage bumped all the way, but there was no response.

Colorful, full of mountains and seas of flowers.

He blinked, looking at the scene in front of him in a daze.

Silently, a figure in white clothes and a white skirt loomed, moving and ethereal.

Immediately afterwards, the familiar bone altar silently manifested, standing among the flowers in the distance.

The girl in white slowly climbed up to the altar and sat down on it, as if blending with it.

"Having already advanced to the realm of the master of metamorphosis of heaven and man, you still haven't got rid of the delusional thoughts of mysticism?"

Wei Tao frowned slightly, carefully observing the altar of bones and the girl in white who seemed to be not far away but could not be approached.

Suddenly, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he noticed something unusual.

Compared with the scene in memory, the figure of the girl in white seems to be much more illusory.

It was as if a gust of wind could blow her away.

Even the bone altar under him is no longer crystal clear and white as jade, but has a dull luster, showing a gray and decayed appearance.

Wei Tao looked away from the altar, lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

After a while, he made another discovery.

There are a few petals scattered around the feet, which seem to have lost their vitality, without the bright colors of the past.

And in the place covered by the flowers, you can also see a large number of withered petals, showing a dark and dead air.

Wei Tao can be sure that there is absolutely no such situation in the previous mystical delusions.

Click!

Suddenly, a light cracking sound came to my ears.

He followed the prestige, and saw a crack on the base of the bone altar, which started from nothing and spread rapidly towards the surroundings.

Along with it, undisguised malice spread out from the crack.

"Gong Yuan said before he died that this is not an altar of bones, but a cage that seals off the town."

"So, because of the change of the woman in white and the boundless sea of ​​flowers, the thing sealed in the cage is about to show itself?"

Wei Tao was expressionless, and inexplicably remembered the woman holding a paper umbrella he met when he was in Guishu Fang Manor.

She also mentioned that only strength is not enough. When he becomes a master of horizontal training by virtue of the Vajra secret method, it is the beginning of the real bad luck.

So, is the bad luck she mentioned related to this bone altar?

There was a constant clicking sound.

The cracks on the base of the altar are still expanding.

Wei Tao remained silent and waited quietly.

At the same time, he was also feeling more and more intense malice, escaping from the cracks in the spider web-like manual.

Time passed little by little.

Perhaps in delusion, the passage of time has no meaning at all.

After an unknown period of time, the sound quietly disappeared.

The crack also stopped spreading at this time.

There seemed to be a gust of wind blowing, and the flowers fell like rain in an instant, withering everywhere.

Sitting on the altar, the girl in white still didn't move, but her figure became a little more illusory.

"So it turns out that the girl in white and the altar of bones are hostile."

"She and Endless Flower Sea are one, and they will seal and suppress the Bone Altar."

"If the girl in white is really the corpse enshrined in the Luocha clan's ancestral hall, what would be in the bone altar?"

"So, what is the reason that caused the flower sea to decline and the altar to crack?"

Possibilities flashed through Wei Tao's mind, and in the end he suddenly thought of the "corpse" of the turtle and snake that devoured life.

Could it be that there is vitality here that can be devoured and absorbed, which is why the girl in white has an illusory figure, and the sea of ​​flowers withers and decays, making it impossible to firmly seal and suppress the things in the altar like before?
At this moment, Wei Tao's body suddenly trembled, and he recovered from the delusion without any sign.

The carriage stopped.

Qingying's voice was extremely low, and came in through the side window of the carriage, "Daozi, in the wilderness ahead, there seems to be a martial arts master who is born from heaven and man. Great vigilance and hostility."

"Oh? Just return to Qinglin Mountain from Qingfengguan, and you will meet a martial arts master on the way?"

There was a flash of light in Wei Tao's eyes, and he actually sensed the unique aura unique to the master martial artist, and he didn't hide it too much, allowing it to spread out.

No wonder even Qingying and the others could notice it.

The tip of his nose fluttered, and he smelled a faint smell of blood, which came from the front with the wind.

This martial arts master seemed to have suffered serious injuries, so he couldn't control the surging blood, and exposed himself to the outside.

Wei Tao was quite curious, so he lifted the cotton curtain, opened the car door a gap, and looked forward.

At a glance, he couldn't help being slightly startled, and began to search for the name that was already a little vague in his memory.

After a few breaths.

Bei Wu saw clearly the figure getting out of the car, and finally heaved a long sigh of relief, unaware that his back was completely soaked in cold sweat.

Inside the carriage, two figures sat facing each other.

Wei Tao asked, "The last time I left Beixu Town, senior went to Baiming Mountain to look for clan treasures. Why did you suddenly appear here and get such a serious injury?"

Bei Wu took a few pills of healing pills, with a bitter expression on his face, "Don't mention it, I didn't find anything, but I met a master who came from the northern wilderness to the south. I fought with that woman and hit her a few times... Stab, now I can hardly suppress the injury."

Wei Tao nodded, and asked again, "Senior, all the way south, are you planning to take revenge on that Northern Wilderness Grandmaster?"

"Young Master, you are joking. How can you seek revenge on her in this old man's situation?"

When Bei Wu said this, he sighed helplessly, "Now I only hope to return to the southern border before I die, which can be regarded as returning to the roots of the fallen leaves, and not leaving the bones in other places."

"Is senior's injury so serious?"

Wei Tao frowned slightly, his eyes flickered, he endured his headache and watched God, "What is the ghost thorn? Could it be the few filaments that are constantly wandering in the senior's internal organs, but they are as one with the flesh and blood?" ?”

Bei Wu listened, and unconsciously sat up straight, "My lord can actually sense the existence of Youshen thorn?"

Wei Tao replied, "I can barely perceive them now, but after a while, I won't be able to see them when they are truly integrated with your body."

"Since the young master can find the ghost thorn, is there a way to extract it from the lower body?"

When Bei Wu spoke again, his voice trembled slightly.

"There is a way, it depends on whether the seniors can accept it."

"I still have things to do that I have to do, and I absolutely don't want to fall into the abyss of despair at this time, so as long as I can survive, I can accept anything."

"Since this is the case, senior can accept being my subordinate and being bound by me?"

Bei Wu took a deep breath, and then exhaled heavily, "As long as you can save my life, I will be willing to serve you as my master from now on. If there is any intention of repenting, I will definitely die without a place to die, and my soul will not be able to enter the moon." Wolf Ancestral Hall."

"It doesn't need to be said to be so scary."

Wei Tao smiled slightly, and a thread of scarlet thread quietly protruded from his fingertips, "I don't have anything to ask seniors to do, the most is just to let you live in a certain place for a while, to protect the safety there."

…………

………………

The city of Qizhou is a hundred miles to the north.

The site of the Acropolis.

The sun rises high and spreads its light and heat all over the earth.

There are more and more pedestrians on the streets and alleys, and various shops are also open to welcome customers. Some even display the New Year's goods prepared in advance to attract the attention of customers.

Everything looks beautiful, full of the breath of human fireworks.

But for Luo Qingjun, he felt an uncomfortable atmosphere that was difficult to describe in words.

She came out of the courtyard where she lived, walked through the narrow alley, and came to a breakfast shop.

Looking at the standard dishes of the diners around, she also ordered a bowl of rice porridge and two steamed buns, and slowly ate them with pickles.

Luo Qingjun ate very slowly and meticulously.

No food was wasted.

After eating, she didn't leave immediately, but sat there silently, thinking about something.

The top of the city wall gate tower in the distance.

Under the light golden sunlight, the dense water mist is looming.

No matter whether it is the residents of the city or the soldiers guarding the city, no one has noticed the existence of this cloud of fog, let alone the skinny figure hidden in it.

"It seems that Ning Xuanzhen has been busy recently."

Luo Qingjun sighed secretly, finally got up from his seat, and walked back to the ordinary courtyard along the same path.

"Does Master Luo still have to wait?"

Quietly, Gui Shufang's voice slowly sounded in his consciousness.

Luo Qingjun smiled faintly, "Senior Gui can afford to wait for 30 years, so what is my short day or two?"

After a pause, she sighed again, "Since I sensed Ning Xuanzhen's aura, I slept soundly like an ordinary person last night, and then I suddenly became a little curious. Senior Gui only lives in the world as a true spirit. What kind of feeling is it?"

Gui Shufang was silent for a long time, "I died in the battle of Luoshui River, and I awakened my true spirit from the despair and death, and then I was in a daze for an unknown period of time.

It wasn't until later that I gradually became rational, eliminated human desires, and embarked on the current path step by step. During this period, all kinds of pain and fear were really not enough for outsiders. "

"Really, I don't have empathy, so I can't understand Senior Gui's pain."

Luo Qingjun took off his coat, lay back on the bed, and slowly closed his eyes.

Not long after, she suddenly sat up straight again, looking outside through the half-closed dilapidated wooden door.

"There was a sharp and cold sword intent coming from west to east. Could it be that besides Brahma's spiritual intent, a little true spirit from Senior Gui also attracted the attention of the Xiji Tibetan Sword Pavilion?"

"The true spirit of the old man is not so attractive yet, not to mention that Sect Master Luo's restraint of energy is like a rock, and even Ning Xuanzhen can't detect your traces. It's not that easy.

So in my opinion, the other party either came because he sensed the aura of Master Yuan Dao, or he was near this acropolis, and there were other things that interested him. "

Gui Shufang's voice stopped abruptly at this moment, and when it reappeared, there was a hint of doubt.

"I can't see, I don't hear, I don't touch, I don't see, I don't see, I don't see, I don't touch, I don't have a sound, I don't have a shape, I don't have a quality, it's the meaning of returning to the void that even my pure true spirit has to hide, is there a third person who came to Weiwei besides the master of swordsmanship?" Near the city?"
