Mysterious Martial Arts: The Record of the Swordsman

Chapter 99

"The Immortal Banquet...don't go..."

"Did you hear this time?"

Two slightly familiar words exploded in Jiang Wen's heart again, as if someone was whispering against his ear.

Jiang Wen suddenly turned around vigilantly, all the pores from his scalp to his body exploded, and a sense of absurdity spread throughout his body, as if he was a thrush locked in a cage for entertainment, being watched unscrupulously by the outside world.

This is clearly Zhizhi Nunnery!

Why is he back here again!

But as the voice burst out from the heart aperture, there were more voices coming from all directions, noisy and sad from the courtyard, the back of the house, even the roof, and the air, converging into a familiar childish voice.

"it's me."

The Song Gui and ancient wells in the courtyard are still quiet, bathed in the thick night, like a frozen model, and the shadowy houses, walls and corridors overlap each other in a virtual and real way.

Jiang Wen looked for the sound, but what he saw was a figure that was a little more blurred than the mist, accompanied by wisps of smoke drifting away, waving to him faintly.

"This is a dream... you are a little Taoist priest?!"

Although the figure was blurred to nothingness, Jiang Wen recognized his identity at a glance.

"it's me."

The other party's expression was unrecognizable, but his tone was extremely indifferent and alienated, as if the fuzzy and floating smoke was his various emotions as a human being.

His actions seemed to be greatly disturbed, and he stared in Jiang Wen's direction blankly. The skirt of the Taoist robe that didn't fit fell heavily on the ground, like an iron lock and heavy gate, which reminded Jiang Wen of going to the ground binding spirit. up.

In Zhizhi'an's nightmare of ecstasy and poisonous smoke, Jiang Wen had heard this voice, seen the same scene, and even dreamed of exactly the same words.

At that time, Jiang Wen didn't guess his existence, so he turned his head to look for a way out of the dream, but this time he knew very well that the other party was looking for him, otherwise he wouldn't have spent so much time pulling him back when he fell into a coma again. Back here, I created the same dream.

From a psychological level, creating a familiar environment is to ease his guard, and repeated repetitions are used to deepen his impression. These psychotherapeutic methods can still explain his current situation.

"Hero Jiang, I only have the last two chances to come out, please listen to what I have to say."

Seeing Jiang Wen's doubts, the little Taoist didn't say much, and went straight to the point.

Jiang Wen turned his head suddenly, and saw a familiar scene—it was the light-polluted night sky that only existed in cities before traveling, and it was now reflected in the skyline of the peaks of Wuyi Mountains...

"Tell me, it seems that tonight is not destined to be peaceful."

The little Taoist paused for a moment before beginning to speak.

"Shortly after you left, I stole the Zhenlu seeds and Hanyuan Shougong incense from Master's collection, and escaped under the cover of night."

Without the slightest emotional fluctuation, the little Taoist said as if eating and drinking water, "Although Master never told me, I know that these days he is trying to use Dangong and foreign medicine to enter the True Ascension Profound Realm alone, trying to ascend to the Profound Realm. Go to tonight's Jiahe Immortal Ascension Banquet..."

At this time, the originally desolate Manting Pavilion was turned into a pavilion with curtains and hundreds of houses decorated with colorful decorations. The candlelight illuminated the sky. The singing is lingering throughout the sky, like a never-ending absurd movement...

"No! Aren't you on the mountain! Why are you in Zhizhi nunnery again!"

Jiang Wen suddenly interrupted his description, and the huge sense of reality fragmentation in the words made him feel a little palpitation, which gradually turned into fear.

The little Taoist said slowly: "The "Taoji Jing" says that there are caves in mountains and famous mountains. The caves run through the mountains and lead to the sky, so they are called "Dongtian". In fact, I am neither on the mountain nor below the mountain. In Zhizhi Nunnery, in the 'True Ascension of Xuandongtian' under the ancient well."

The little Taoist knew the existence of Zhizhi'an Cave, but he never told others, because his parents told him that the bones of his ancestors in the village were all there, and that there would be his destination one day.

The village is poor and poor, fishing and woodcutters make a living, and the little Taoist's house has only two thatched cottages, and there is nothing to play with, but the house is full of painted wooden signs of people, which makes him very curious.

Jianyang's engraving and painting skills are outstanding, and these woodcut immortals are also painted lifelike, but their bodies and clothing are all in the air of immortals, but they wear an overly realistic face of an old rural woman, with an abrupt and embarrassed smile, as if All the country bumpkins who have just boarded the dragon chair.

His parents told him that there was never a spiritual tablet in the village. These are the portraits of the ancestors, just like the feather ribbons on the wooden plaque and the golden light of the sky.

In the Qin Dynasty, the princes of the Wei Dynasty had fairy bones and adored Taoism since they were young. Their ancestors were the survivors who followed Prince Wei to Wuyi Mountain to practice Taoism.Prince Qian of Wei drank too much at the banquet of the Queen Mother of the West and offended her. The Queen Mother of the West ordered him to live in this mountain for 800 years before he could return to heaven and become an immortal.

But how can ordinary people live to be 800 years old? Fortunately, Peng Zu, the master of the immortals here, taught him the magic of immortality, and taught him to use yellow heart wood as a letter to put the corpse in the cave. Can be promoted to immortality.

After Prince Wei died in the same way, their ancestors settled down and guarded the body of Prince Wei on the cliff from generation to generation.

Later Wei Wang Ziqian successfully ascended to immortality, grateful for his efforts, he regarded these mausoleum guards as his descendants, often waving on the Manting Peak, and re-opening the feast of ascension to immortality from time to time, agreeing that as long as the people of their clan enjoy their lives, they can go forward Go to a banquet and become a fairy.

But the young Taoist felt very scared when he saw these, because he always felt that the head and feet of the immortals on the wooden sign were separated, and the body was cut off, and there was no ethereal state of the gods.

With the long-term fading and the tracing of low-quality paint, the so-called immortality on the woodblock, in his opinion, is just to bind the stump with feather ribbons, hide the blood bones with the golden light of the sky, and install a shriveled and shriveled body that doesn't match. The head, even the smile on the face, seems to have been deliberately manipulated after death, so stupid that it makes people feel creepy.

At that time, the little Taoist priest was only three years old, and he still couldn't understand many things. It wasn't until he became a disciple of the master and went through a few weddings and funerals that he realized that the smile was not the appearance of a fairy, but an expression of relief.

They seem to be the same, but they are worlds apart.

The little Taoist priest originally thought that with the disappearance of his family, there would be no mundane matters worth worrying about, let alone the crying and laughing in the human world.

But that night, he saw the same expression on Master's face...

…………

"Hero Jiang, maybe you don't know, this is my number 30's fourth attempt to use the power of the cave to influence the outside world..."

The little Taoist said indifferently, with deep exhaustion in his tone, it seemed that the long-term hard work had exhausted him, and his body was slowly disappearing.

"I was trying to block the master, but I tried countless times, but I couldn't change his actions; I tried to break into the fairy mist to stop the fairy banquet, but Hongxia blocked the door; the only time I succeeded in influencing others was I said two words to you in my dream, but I didn't grasp the time well, it was too early to tell you..."

too early……

What does it mean! ?

Why can the little Taoist say this lightly, as if he knows all the causes and consequences, and understands everything in his chest, like an audience who has watched a movie a thousand times, commenting on a casual detail ?

There is also the so-called 34 attempts, does it mean that he has already tried the possibility during this period of time?
"Wait a minute! When I was unable to move in the fairy mist on the mountain just now, you pushed me back and lit the Hanyuan Shougong incense?!"

Something strange happened suddenly, and Jiang Wen remembered the voice he heard on the mountain just now.

The familiar voice told him to get down quickly, and the just-right force helped him avoid the black dragon's sweep, which was as familiar as the current situation. Could it be that it was all done by the little Taoist priest? !

"Yes, it's me."

The fuzzy shadow drifted with smoke and became more hazy, nodding slowly.

"This cave has infinite mysteries. Patriarch Bai Yuchan destroyed the clues to ascension to immortality and sealed the entrance to the mysterious cave of true ascension. The mystery is only known by this sect. Master accidentally revealed that only the person who carries the seed of this talisman , so that you can use it freely."

"Baizu built a nunnery to block this place because people with insufficient cultivation forcibly entered this cave. They couldn't resist the power of true ascension. The three souls and seven souls would be destroyed, and they could no longer escape. It's a pity that I am not good at cultivation, and I have not achieved gold. Dan, I thought to myself that the number of six or six is ​​the limit, and I can only turn into a ray of breeze at that time."

"...You won't come back after two more times?"

Jiang Wen said in surprise, "Then stop now!"

The little Taoist said neither sad nor happy: "It might be possible at first, but it's too late now..."

Just like Jiang Wen didn't know what the cave was, the little Taoist priest had never been here before, because to him, this place was like an ominous place full of relatives' bones, a sad tomb.

The little Taoist said that the people in his village knew very well that if ordinary people want to go around the black dragon, white snails and fairy fog and red clouds to go to the banquet smoothly, they must enter from the cave under the Zhizhi nunnery and follow the "shelf and ravine" left over from the cliffs of the mountain. Ship" and "Hongqiao Board" climb up the stairs.

The reason why Yuan Huazi didn't stop the villagers when they went to the mountain to go to the banquet was because the villagers sneaked up from the cave. In the seemingly grand scene of refugees, only the old Taoist priest and the crying child are real.

What Bai Yuchan was worried about didn't affect them, because these villagers never planned to go back alive.

The sudden attack of the White Lotus Sect tonight reminded him of this place, and finally broke in after the danger, and it became what it is now.

"The sky is empty, the mountain is empty, and the cave is the empty space in the mountain. The Taoist priest Zhizhi'an Huoju said that he heard the footsteps walking at night. I'm afraid it's just the sound of my parents' village people's footsteps pushing the door. Caused in the cave..."

The little Taoist's words made no waves, but Jiang Wen's heart once again set off a shocking wave.

Can the sound of footsteps from ten years ago echo to this day?The cave is empty? "Ziyang Zhenren Biography" states: It is the real person who lives in the sky, the mountains and the people, and enters the inexhaustible, and the Penglai Mountains, including Liuhe, are filled with millet.

It was so!
Perhaps in this place of "True Ascension to Xuandongtian", "True Ascension" does not only refer to becoming an immortal, but also refers to "ascension to a higher dimension"; "Hua Xuan" is not just an alias for enlightenment, but refers to "Xuan" means "swirl", how about the mysterious and mysterious "subtle and numerous" that incarnates in the long river of time?

If it is true as he said, the real body of the cave should be a point where time and space distortions occur, which can break the originally stable four-dimensional coordinate axis of the world and temporarily jump to a higher level. Observing and influencing the outside world is like entering the "quantum cloud state". To some extent, you can rely on "observation" to change the existence of the outside world.

Manting Peak is steep and rugged, and the cliff coffin is not as dangerous as it is, but the cave sky can be mixed with the distance of the space, and everything is easy to reach, so the villagers want to Lingxu to go up the cliff and go through the waves. .

The little Taoist sometimes walks alone on the top of the mountain, and sometimes talks to him in Zhizhi Temple. It is also because the cave can circle the passage of time and combine the flowing time into a loop here. Therefore, the little Taoist can observe a full 34 times. chance for him to talk.

This is not Jiang Wen's whimsy, but records like this can be found everywhere in ancient books.

It is not uncommon to go into the cave and travel thousands of miles a day. There is even a record in "Junguozhi" that the Taoist king Zhi went to the mountain to pick tung for the qin. People, this is probably a cave that has strayed into a place that can speed up the flow of time.

Back then when Bai Yuchan was teaching in Zhizhi Temple, he was able to walk in the heavy rain without getting wet, and he used this magical technique to fold Zhu Xi, leaving behind the allusion of "even the middle ear", probably because of his profound cultivation. This cave!

The heavy rain seems to have nowhere to avoid, but Bai Yuchan can change rapidly, penetrate every second, and find the possibility of not getting wet out of hundreds of millions of probabilities. This is already beyond imagination!
Jiang Wen's voice was a little hoarse. The power of the cave was so amazing that he couldn't understand it, but the restrictions were also huge. The little Taoist went through a lot of hard work to find himself in his dream. He must have found some way to break the game in the 34 time loops. The essential.

But even Bai Yuchan, whose cultivation is as high as the sky, can't stop the feast of ascending to the immortals on Manting Peak, so what can Jiang Wen and the little Taoist come up with?

The little Taoist nodded slowly, and the smoke on his body became more blurred, which made Jiang Wen more confirmed the statement of "quantum cloud state".

The so-called "power of metamorphosis" is the sequelae brought about by relying on the "time vortex" to accelerate the dimension. All matter and spirit will float and float, and when it hits the ground, the particles that make up the body will be difficult to put back Order.

He wants to exert influence on the outside world too much, and the force that causes the interaction also destroys the order of particles, destroying the "concept" that constitutes the little Taoist himself.Once the endurance reaches the limit, the "concept" of being a little Taoist priest will turn into a green smoke that dissipates at the touch of a touch, completely disappearing in the real air.

"Hero Jiang, there's not much time. Hanyuan Shougong Fragrant Frozen Soul is about to expire. I will find a way to break the problem of Immortal Mist causing people to enter the 'emptiness' and let you resume action."

The little Taoist glanced at him, as if he had read all the thoughts in Jiang Wen's heart at a glance, and his tone was full of determination.

"From the number of six to six, I still have two chances, except for leaving one to wake you up. This last time, I will knock on the fairy gate at the moment when the Beichen star is arching high. All hopes are in this one action... "

"I'll leave it to you to prevent Master from going to the banquet..."
