Mysterious Martial Arts: The Record of the Swordsman

Chapter 95
"Since you have stepped into the fairy mist, remember to save your life and don't be curious about things you shouldn't be interested in."

Seeing Jiang Wen's deep thought, Yuan Huazi quickly reminded, "I didn't want you to get involved in this matter, so you have to listen to me honestly today."

Facing the din of gongs and drums and the mist in the mountains, Jiang Wen could only silently nod while holding the ancient bronze sword in his arms.

It's not a matter of rashness at all.

In the face of this level of weirdness, being able to move the body is indeed more dangerous than being unable to move - no one can tell what extreme things humans will do in panic.

Compared with the "World Feast of Immortals" designed by the White Lotus Sect, this "Festival of Ascending Immortals" that no one can tell the inside story is more complicated, more abstract, and more frightening.

Listening to the strange voices in the distance, what Jiang Wen thought of was a group of strange immortals without human form, descending from the clouds like hemp on the boulder of the Immortal Banquet, holding a taboo banquet that does not belong to this world .

Under the bustling appearance, the anomalies in the fog could not be concealed, and the violently beeping brain alarm was enough to make Jiang Wen understand that this was definitely a "fairy feast" that mortals should keep in mind.

Jiang Wen still has some scruples about Yuan Huazi's avoidance of talking about it, but at this moment, it is the right way to let go of the burden and cooperate.

But when the two were trying to reach an agreement, Jiang Wen discovered that the Red Sun Saint Child of the White Lotus Sect was missing.

"Really, the members of the White Lotus Sect are gone."

Yuan Huazi was shocked, and then sweat dripped from his forehead: "The plan has been disrupted by you, and he still wants to give it a go..."

Jiang Wen squatted down, carefully observed the footprints on the ground, and said slowly: "But I don't think this direction of footsteps is the way up the mountain. The White Lotus Sect may have a plan."

At this moment, the sound was blocked by the fairy fog, and facing the painting literary color formed by the strange red light, Jiang Wen didn't think that the other party would rashly step into the immortal gate of life and death.

In reality, what the Holy Child of Red Sun wanted them to think was definitely not his real purpose.

But if the Holy Child of Red Sun hadn't stepped into a deeper layer of fairy mist, what would he most likely do?

Jiang Wen slowly regained his internal strength, trying to leave more confidence in dealing with the mutation, and at the same time speculated on the purpose of the Holy Child of the Red Sun.

"Really, the holy boy of the White Lotus Sect is probably looking for the God General of Liujia. They have the "Book of Immortal Ascension" in their hands, and they must have prepared a way to deal with it. I really don't know what is written in this book..."

When Jiang Wen said this, Yuan Huazi also felt bad, the wrinkles on his face deepened, and he said decisively.

"Go and find him! It's not right for you to see the black dragon just now, I'm afraid they will lead to something more terrifying!"

There was no way to tell the direction in the fairy mist, and there was nothing to see three steps away. The two could only slowly test the reality under their feet, so as not to accidentally step under the cliff.

The disturbing black dragon did not appear, and Yuan Huazi also solemnly confessed that he must be careful not to crash into the deeper part of the fairy banquet. He searched around for a long time without any results, until Jiang Wen found two jade pebbles on the ground.

"Really, there are two pebbles falling here, which means that it is getting closer and closer to the position just now."

Jiang Wen held the jade pebble in his hand again, and it felt clear and cold in his hand. A lifelike worm was wrapped in it, its whiskers and tails were clearly visible, and the unpredictable time seemed to freeze at this moment, hiding in this small world.

"You said that the corpse of Emperor Ai of the Han Dynasty that Wang Mang saw also hidden jade like this, making it immortal?"

Jiang Wen made nondescript metaphors, which made Yuan Huazi shake his head.

"Emperor Ai of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne and became paralyzed. In the last years of his life, he secretly practiced the secret method of prolonging life and longevity, which led to the appearance of visions in the coffin. In my Taoist school, there is also the method of returning to the dead and refining the shape of the dead bones, but it has never been achieved. Like this."

Jiang Wen glanced at the old Taoist priest, and said pointedly: "It's too difficult to understand the saying that the real one guards within, and after death, he dies. But speaking of it, the method of the Yin Immortal has a lot to do with this Wuyi Mountain. Take a look. There are hermit cliff corpses all over the mountains and caves hiding bones—it’s a pity that no one can be reborn and become a fairy.”

Yuan Huazi looked at Jiang Wen with displeasure.

"You kid, don't talk to me about this. Since the old Taoist became a monk, he first learned to practice form and aura, and then he used the golden liquid to return the pill, so he wouldn't go in any crooked ways!"

Jiang Wen waved his hands again and again with ill intentions: "You said this yourself, real man, I never said that Taiyin training is a crooked way!"

Yuan Huazi blew his beard and stared angrily, and raised his palm to fight Jiang Wen: "You should worry about the White Lotus Sect! The "Book of Immortal Ascension" in his hand is full of heresy and appalling secrets of immortality. , The Blue Bird Technique and the Taiyin Method are just one of them, if you get that book, you must destroy it immediately!"

There are records of immortals and immortals in the past dynasties who opened their graves to see "the bones do not melt" and "the white hair is more than ten feet long".The Taoist Shangqing sect inherited Wei Huacun, the wife of Nanyue, Tao Hongjing's "Zhengao" also recorded the method of Taiyin refining shape, "A real person refines his shape in Taiyin, and changes his appearance to the three officials.

However, there are many differences among different schools on the method of becoming an immortal, and they have always been different. The immortal master Bai Yuchan in Yuanhuazi's mouth believes that, judging from the self-cultivation method in the early cases of exiled immortals, whether it is through the "Mengchao" method Going to heaven, or ascending to the immortal through the "step virtual" method, can only get a short return.

Bai Yuchan clearly stated in "Golden Liquid Returning Pills" that "If you want to ascend to Yuque, you must cultivate in the golden elixir", and to achieve eternal return, you must practice the golden elixir.

Walking in the vast fairy mist, Jiang Wen suddenly stepped on something soft, and quickly retracted his feet to observe.

Looking over with a sword, Jiang Wen found two corpses lying stiff behind the rugged boulders. Their fat bodies were shirtless, with mottled oil paint, and their faces were lying motionless on the ground.

What's even more strange is that there were several pieces of pterygium growing on the two corpses, and many fibrovascular tissues proliferated in a triangular shape, and the shape was a bit like the wings of insects.

"Liujia God General... died two?"

Jiang Wen was a little confused, but his footsteps were more cautious, "I just dissipated their internal strength, and I didn't kill them. How could I die suddenly and silently?"

While he was wondering, Yuan Huazi suddenly stepped forward and kicked a dead body away, and dragged Jiang Wen backwards in a panic.

"careful!"

Following Yuan Huazi's exclamation, Jiang Wen found that the kicked corpse was bleeding suddenly, and its stomach was smashed against the sharp mountain rock.Along with the stomach and intestines flowed out, there were countless white snails densely packed in the abdomen, wriggling densely and licking the flesh and blood...

"Heisha and Baisha appeared at the same time tonight!"

Yuan Huazi's eyes were burning, and he reluctantly turned his head to explain to Jiang Wen, "Since Immortal Master Bai Yuchan guarded Wuyi Mountain, he has investigated the fairy feast many times. In addition to the black dragon that the dead turned into, the more weird thing is these man-eating white snails. But the two will die, one will wither and the other will prosper, logically speaking, they will not appear at the same time..."

Jiang Wen suppressed the anxiety in his heart and said to Yuan Huazi, "It must be the White Lotus Sect who did something! Even if there is danger at this time, we have to stop the holy boy first!"

The white snails on the ground seemed to emerge out of nowhere from the crevices of the stone, clinging to the sharp stone and eating away at the flesh and blood of the deceased, leaving traces of pterygium on his skin, alienating the corpse into a strange silky shape.

"Really, are these white snails famous?"

Yuan Huazi nodded deeply, "It is said in the patriarch's handbook that these snails are called Baishui Sunu."

Jiang Wen couldn't help being stunned when he heard the name.

The ancients have been in awe of snails for a long time. Baishui Sunu was first seen in the book "Enlightenment" written by Shu Xi in the Western Jin Dynasty, but Jiang Wen read a different version in Huixian Temple.

In that old handwritten book, it is briefly recorded that Xie Duan, a fisherman from Fujian Houguan, once went to sea for seven days without finding anything, and caught a large meatless snail shell in the wind and rain.From that day on, the fisherman went crazy, claiming that there was a Baishuisu girl hidden in it, who was sent by heaven to be his wife.

The villagers thought that he was crazy about thinking, and he only stayed in the house facing the giant snail day and night.But the strange thing is that since then, he has no shortage of granaries, and his tanks are always full, and he does not have to produce or worry about food. Until a stormy weather, the fishermen and giant snails disappeared out of thin air.

In the later Southern Dynasties, Zu Chongzhi was proficient in algebra, astronomy, and calendar, and compiled "Shu Yi Ji" by collecting the auspiciousness and misfortune of the world's monsters.After he investigated this legend, he wrote down another specious Luoting legend.

The legend tells about a woman picking up snails as a job and staying in the wild. One night when the wind and rain were blowing, many white snails appeared and devoured her flesh. The next day only her bones and a huge stone carved with unknown script were left. Spiral shell.

The more Jiang Wen looked at this stone, the more strange he felt it. Even the sharply exposed stone in the fairy mist seemed familiar.

"Really, do you see that the stones on these mountain road protrusions look like petrified snail shells?"
