Alienated Martial Arts

The wilderness was dark under the night.

The north wind howled from time to time, rolling up large tracts of ice and snow.

Desolate and dead, without any vitality.

Facing the invitation from the master of the Hidden Sword Pavilion, Zenxin smiled happily, even adding a lot of vitality to the surrounding darkness.

"A Buddhist with a Zen heart knows how to advance and retreat, understands the principles of things, and knows what to do and what not to do. This alone has surpassed countless people."

The master of the Hidden Sword Pavilion smiled slightly, turned and looked towards the north, "With the addition of Zen Heart Buddha, we will be more precise in locating the source of the manifestation of Brahma's spiritual will, which can save a lot of time and energy."

"Is the Pavilion Master planning to go directly to the source of spiritual energy?"

"Because I once paid homage to Brahma and later carried the Black Abyss, I do know the exact location of that place.

Moreover, we are now on a route for Brahma's spiritual energy to disperse outwards. If we keep moving forward along the induction path, we can save a lot of time. "

"However, a war is about to break out at the source of Brahma's spiritual power. As outsiders, if we break in without preparation, we are likely to be attacked from both sides by Emperor Wu of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Lord of the Golden Tent."

Zenxin nodded, and when he spoke again, his expression and tone directly positioned himself above his subordinates and assistants.

His attitude changed quickly and smoothly and naturally, as if he was originally a disciple of the Hidden Sword Pavilion and was reporting to the master of his pavilion before making suggestions.

After a pause, he added, "If the Pavilion Master wants to absorb the spiritual power of Brahma and deal with Emperor Wu at the same time, it is better to wait for the fight between the two parties to end.

By that time, even if Brahma's spiritual mind is not torn apart, it will probably become much weaker and obviously easier to deal with.

The same is true for the emperor's corpse. After a hard battle, even if the divine will enters the body, it will inevitably suffer excessive losses. "

The master of the Hidden Sword Pavilion sighed, "Only the most intense explosion of Brahma's spiritual power can bloom the most beautiful flowers of killing, which is more in line with the conditions for warming and nourishing swords.

As for Emperor Wu of the Great Zhou Dynasty, I never said that I would be an enemy of him, so whether his condition is good or bad does not mean much to me. "

Zen Xin wondered, "If Emperor Wu is still at the peak of his power after defeating Brahma, wouldn't the Pavilion Master be worried that he would take action against the nearby Sword Pavilion disciples again?"

"He won't take action against us."

The Master of Hidden Sword Pavilion slowly shook his head, "Even if I stand in front of him, as long as I don't actively provoke him, I won't attract his attack."

"Why?"

"Because the disciples of Jiange cultivate their swords and minds, and only seek to cut with their swords without leaving a trace, they are extremely pure people from the beginning to the end.

We have never had any involvement with various spiritual beings, and we have never had the aura brought by the sect's blessed land lingering around us. That's why we can be so sure. There is only a wisp of the emperor's corpse left with unresolved obsessions. It will not and will not happen. It should be found on our heads. "

After hearing this, Zen Heart immediately fell silent.

He frowned and thought deeply. After a long time, he asked a little tiredly, "The master of the pavilion knows many secrets, so can you tell me what these so-called spiritual meanings are?"

"Also, there are spiritual manifestations in the southern frontier and northern wasteland, as well as in the east sea and the west pole. However, in the Great Zhou area living in the Central Plains, it is rare to hear of the existence of spiritual beings. However, there are only martial arts similar to the seven sects of the sect. True meaning.

So, what is the difference between the true meaning of martial arts and the spiritual meaning? "

The master of the Hidden Sword Pavilion was slightly startled, and his eyes looking at Zen Xin couldn't help but become a little strange.

He slowly exhaled a breath, "This is the first time I have seen such a spiritually blessed person like you. It really surprised me."

"Senior, don't listen to what I say, just watch what I do."

Zen Heart just smiled slightly and said, "Then the Pavilion Master will know that whether he was worshiping Brahma before or carrying the Black Abyss now, this junior has always been very pious, and can even be described as fanatical.

That’s why I’m determined to get to the bottom of it, wanting to truly understand what the Black Abyss is, or whether it’s not a thing. As the saying goes, if you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools, so that you can be targeted and develop it more conveniently. Strengthen your contribution. "

The Master of Hidden Sword Pavilion thought for a long time, "You are right, Lingyi is indeed not a thing, but no one seems to be able to really figure out what this thing is.

As for the origin of spiritual meaning, I only know that it has a lot to do with the ancestors' struggle against life and death. "

“Ancestors’ struggle against death?”

"Yes, there is life and there is death, there is prosperity and there is decline, there is the alternation of life and death, formation, residence and destruction. This is a principle that has existed since ancient times and cannot be changed by personal will.

As long as you look through ancient books, you can often see our ancestors lamenting the perishability of life. Even if they were alive like a bright moon shining in the sky, they would be nothing but a handful of loess after death, and everything would be in vain. "

“So even though they know the principles of creation, abiding and destruction of emptiness, they still want to jump out of reincarnation and transcend life and death. This is a pursuit that every person who stands on a high place desires.

And in this tireless pursuit, various spiritual meanings were born for unknown reasons, but the process has been lost in the long river of time, and no written records can be found. "

After a pause, the Master of the Hidden Sword Pavilion continued, "As for the true meaning of the martial arts you just said, it is even more obscure, making it difficult for people to understand clearly.

Sometimes I would drink with books and study ancient books. Occasionally, I would have inexplicable thoughts. I felt that something was not right about the true meaning of the martial arts of the seven sects. It was obviously similar to the spiritual meaning, but it was also indescribably weird. "

Zen Heart deeply agrees with this, "When I was in the Nine Sacred Mountains, I saw the figure of the Lord of Lingming Mountain from a distance. She practiced the Nine Transformations of Lingming and became a Grandmaster of the Yangji Spiritual Realm, but she turned into an irrational lunatic. .

If you go by what the Pavilion Master said, the true meaning of the martial arts of the Seven Sects is indeed a bit weird. "

The master of the Hidden Sword Pavilion shook his head, "No, it is completely normal to practice martial arts and go crazy. And the weirdness I feel is not what it refers to."

"Although the appearance of spiritual meaning is mysterious and difficult to think about, if you really dig deep and study it carefully, you can still find some vague connections, which are inseparable from the pursuit and exploration of the ancient ancestors.

But as for the true meaning of martial arts, it seems that it is suddenly there, waiting for ignorant people to discover, and then little by little, people and minds merge, and minds and bodies merge. After that, there have been booms and troughs of decline, and gradually formed the current situation. "

"This junior roughly understands what the Pavilion Master means."

Zenxin clasped his hands together and bowed, "The true meaning of martial arts similar to that of the sect is actually something that exists in this world itself, while the spiritual meaning of the northern wilderness, southern border, and the east sea and the west end are derived from the ancestors of ancient times. The pursuit gradually manifested itself."

The master of the Hidden Sword Pavilion was silent and looked at the young man in black clothes and robe quietly.

After a long time, he sighed and shook his head, "Not long ago, I praised you for being smart and transparent, but you completely misunderstood what I wanted to express.

Think about it, why is it always more difficult to become a martial arts master from the seven sects of the sect than from the southern border to the northern wilderness?

Then think about it again, whether it is Brahma or the Black Abyss, as long as a warrior reaches the communion between heaven and man, he can basically attract the spirit to come. The difference is that there are fewer ordinary gurus and more favored ones.

But for the masters of the sect, when they manifest the true meaning of martial arts, you can know the difference between carefully sensing and receiving the spiritual intention. "

Zen Xin's brows suddenly wrinkled, thoughtfully.

After taking a few breaths, he suddenly raised his head, a hint of surprise, even disbelief, flashing in his eyes.

"According to the Pavilion Master's opinion, could it be that the true meaning of martial arts corresponding to each of the seven sects is not actually in the world we live in.

Is it something similar to what is mentioned in the legend of the gods and monsters of the Northern Wilderness tribe, something similar to the devil outside the underworld, who will cause trouble and cause harm to the world when he falls into the mortal world? "

The master of Hidden Sword Pavilion lowered his eyes and sighed deeply, "I am not standing at a high enough height and my vision is not deep, so I don't know the specific reason.

I only know that Zen Heart Buddha's guess seems a bit outrageous. Even I was extremely surprised when I heard it. I had to admire that young people really have many ideas and flexible ideas. "

"Returning to the Pavilion Master, I have always wanted to figure out the secret of the Dark Abyss, so I often think about things. However, it has become full of complicated thoughts, and I have lost the purity and clarity of the spiritual platform."

“Spotless is not necessarily good, and complexity is not necessarily bad. It all depends on how you look at it.

However, hearing what you said as a devil outside the underworld made me suddenly think of a very strange person I met on the way from west to east.

He looks quite ordinary, but in perception, he is a twisted and entangled shadow. He seems to be incompatible with the surrounding environment, but he can blend into it with a strange kind of relaxation. "

"A group of shadows, where is that person?"

Zen Xin's eyes lit up and he seemed very interested.

"He did not know his own strength and did not care about life and death. He tried to sneak attack on me. Naturally, he was cut in two with one sword. No matter how hard he fought, it was difficult to get back."

Speaking of this, the master of Hidden Sword Pavilion remained silent without warning.

The next moment, he slowly turned around and looked into the distance shrouded in darkness.

"There are two people in that direction."

"They gathered their strength like a stone, and they almost managed to hide it from me."

When the voice fell, the figure of the master of the Hidden Sword Pavilion had disappeared without a trace.

Zenxin also turned around to look. He was a little confused at first, but after a moment he suddenly narrowed his eyes.

"It's actually him!?"

Suddenly, a surge of blood surged into his heart, causing Zen Xin's originally calm thoughts to suddenly become turbulent.

"He must not die. If he is killed by the Master of the Hidden Sword Pavilion in front of me, it will be the greatest disrespect to the Dark Abyss."

"So we must stop the Master of the Hidden Sword Pavilion. It is best not to allow any conflict between them."

There was a loud bang.

Zen heart suddenly stepped on the ground, and his figure skyrocketed.

The spiritual energy of the Dark Abyss surrounded him, triggering a large number of warriors hiding in the darkness to chase the Master of the Hidden Sword Pavilion in the direction he left.

In an instant, Ye Yuan himself was the only one left here.

The sudden ups and downs just now, as well as the conversation between the pavilion master and Zen Xin, made her confused and confused, and even felt at a loss.

She watched helplessly as the pavilion master took the first step, and then Zen Xin chased after him until both of them disappeared from sight, but they still couldn't fully recover.

I don't know whether to follow them or follow the original plan and go ahead to find the temporary residence of the Northern Wilderness tribe.

After much thought, Ye Yuan decided to stay where he was.

Staying unchanged in response to all changes, waiting for the return of the pavilion master.

She descended the slope, chose a position leeward, closed her eyes and began to rest her mind.

Suddenly, Ye Yuan's heart moved, and driven by some weird and strange thoughts, he quietly opened his eyes a crack.

Through the dark night, she could only see scarlet eyes.

But before Ye Yuan could react, densely packed, countless eyes appeared around those scarlet eyes, blinking continuously a few steps in front of her.

Ye Yuan opened his eyes involuntarily, but his pupils shrank inward at this moment, and dense red dots were reflected inside, which were the reflections of those scarlet eyes.

It was like there was an ink-colored wall standing there, and there were hundreds of eyes that looked like they were soaked in blood staring at it, like countless little scarlet lights that flickered on and off.

Ye Yuan swallowed a mouthful of saliva and shivered.

Even if it's just the first one, it's enough to make people wary in this situation.

But now they are connected and everywhere.

Chaotic, evil, cold and bloody...

This is Ye Yuan's first intuitive feeling.

Without any hesitation or any big movement, the two swords behind his back fell directly into Ye Yuan's hands.

"Yin and Yang complement each other, and the two rituals rotate!"

Ye Yuan slashed out the male and female swords like lightning.

Uh-huh!

The cold light pierced the void, and murderous intent spread across the sky.

The sword slashed out, but Ye Yuan didn't even look at it, or even think about it, and just dodged away behind him.

Click!

There are a few more cracks on the ground beneath your feet.

Ye Yuan's face was gloomy, and he slowly lowered his head and looked at his shoulder.

There, I don't know when a black hand appeared.

It is like a changing shadow, giving people an inexplicable, weird and terrifying feeling in this dark and dead environment.

The five fingers were twisted and entangled, locking her spirit and body easily, making it impossible for her to move.

Gudong!

There seemed to be a swallowing sound.

At the bottom of the soil slope, a strand of cloth drifted away in the wind.

There were a few more drops of blood on the ground, but Ye Yuan, who was still standing here, had disappeared, disappearing without a trace.

Deep in the dark wilderness, two figures stood side by side.

"What is Junior Brother thinking about?"

Ni Hao's eyes were half open and half closed, and all the energy in his body was restrained, as if he had completely merged into the darkness.

"I'm thinking about Emperor Wu's understanding of the Emperor's Seal."

Wei Tao responded casually, still thinking hard.

When he was in Mianlong Town on the Nine Sacred Mountains, his evaluation of Emperor Wu was in just four words.

That is unfathomable.

After his strength increased again, he once again reviewed the power of the two Emperor Seals, and what he came up with was still unfathomable.

Moreover, this is a situation where the emperor's corpse has just risen from the rift, and the physical body of the divine will has not yet been harmonized.

Now that another period of time has passed, who knows how the former number one in the world will improve and what level he will reach.

Therefore, Wei Tao was not too surprised about Brahma in the Northern Wilderness facing a formidable enemy. Instead, he felt the same and quite understood.

This shows that the Emperor's Seal has great potential and is definitely worth studying in depth.

It was also driven by this idea that after incorporating several spiritual thoughts into the Emperor's Seal, he wanted to go one step further, but encountered unprecedented difficulties.

Ni Xun asked again, "Junior brother has already become a master of the Supreme Master. Could it be that in the subsequent practice, he encountered another difficult problem to solve?"

Wei Tao nodded, with a lot of doubts in his tone, "After returning from Lingyungang, I tried to integrate the four spiritual concepts of Brahma Black Abyss and Luocha Weak Water into the technique. Although there were occasional twists and turns, the whole process But it was smooth and smooth.”

"However, after returning to the mountain gate, I was thinking, since Brahma's spiritual meaning is meaning and Xuanwu's true meaning is also meaning, why can't it be integrated into the Huangji seal?"

Ni Hao's eyes flashed like autumn water, "Junior brother Wei tried, but failed in the end?"

Wei Tao smiled and said, "If you fail in a certain final step, in my opinion, it is not actually a failure, but just a temporary lack of success.

Just like when a road is blocked at the end, you try to find a way to open it. Even if you fail to open it in the end, you have seen the scenery on this road before.

But after so many attempts, I discovered that I wanted to integrate the true meaning of martial arts into Huangji, but there was no way at all. Let alone failure halfway, I couldn't even find the entrance to failure. "

He frowned and sighed, "Then another question arises, that is, what is the difference between spiritual meanings such as Brahma's Black Abyss and true meanings such as Xuanwu Ghost Car?"

"kindness!?"

Just when Ni Xun was about to speak, his expression suddenly changed.

In her sight, a ray of light quietly appeared from the depths of darkness.

It comes from nothing, from small to large.

In an instant, he had passed through a large area of ​​dark void, and was still rapidly expanding the scope of his coverage.

Ni Xun suddenly narrowed his eyes and stared at the light that dispelled the darkness. A thought quietly rose from the bottom of his heart, and then quickly occupied his entire mind.

This sword light...

Stronger than any swordsman she had ever seen before.

boom!

The air was suddenly torn apart.

Wei Tao took a step forward at this moment and stood in front of her.

Then he punched forward slowly.

boom!

The Yuantai Fist Seal fell, and darkness surged endlessly.

It seemed as if a large area of ​​space was turned upside down and pressed towards the sword light.

A large swath of brilliant sparks suddenly exploded in mid-air.

There was also a crisp sound like a whine, which spread at the same time.

Wei Tao withdrew his punch and looked down at the ground a few steps away.

There lay a long sword.

It was broken into two pieces by his punch.

The sword was still trembling slightly, as if it had spirituality and life, and wanted to rise again and cut through the void.

"No one showed up, just a sword came over?"

"Could it be that this is a flying sword, and I saw the legendary art of sword control through the air?"

Wei Tao reached out and grabbed the two broken swords, placed them in front of his eyes and observed them carefully.

He didn't see anything, so he just put his hands together and rubbed them together, turning this extraordinary long sword into two pieces of scrap metal, no longer as radiant as before.

In the distance, the face of the master of Hidden Sword Pavilion changed slightly and his expression was surprised.

Able to break a sword physically or break his sword, this person is definitely a great master of Yangji horizontal training.

But that's not the point.

Even with Yang Ji horizontal training, he has more than one way to grind the opponent to death bit by bit.

What really surprised the Master of Hidden Sword Pavilion was the true meaning of Xuanwu Wuji that suddenly broke out just now.

The Void Xuanwu arouses the dark death energy, and the Wuji Sanshou's cloud and mist locks obscure it, so the person who just made the move should be the Yangji Henglian Xuanwu Wuji Grandmaster.

"To be able to practice three time-consuming and labor-intensive techniques at the same time to such a state, this person's talent and qualifications are definitely not comparable to ordinary warriors.

Even the old man's long-lost state of mind will cause some waves. "

The master of the Hidden Sword Pavilion breathed out a breath of turbid air, stretched out his hand to hold the sword box on his back.

Uh-huh!

Three more long swords were unsheathed silently and flew towards the depths of darkness.

Wei Tao was still looking for traces of the master of the Hidden Sword Pavilion, and his heart moved inexplicably.

There seemed to be a disembodied voice, quietly sounding from the depths of his consciousness at the same time.

"The way to observe the sky and the journey to hold the sky are complete!"

"It turned out to be the Sancai Killing Sword, so the one hiding in the dark is not one Hidden Sword Pavilion sword master, but at least four great sword masters."

Wei Tao sensed Senhan's murderous intent coming towards him and took another step forward.

After the Yuan Tai Seal came out, his fists were suddenly covered with cloud patterns and black scales, and sharp bone spurs popped up, stirring up the dark death energy and slamming forward.

But at the last moment, when he saw clearly the three long swords that were flying towards him, but still could not see the swordsman opposite who was practicing three swordsmanship, he suddenly changed his mind.

Silently, the Yuan Fei transformed into the Emperor Ji.

In an instant, the darkness dissipated like a tide, and the four spiritual spirits manifested at the same time, tightly wrapping the three rusty swords.

Later, scarlet silk threads came out, intertwined and twisted endlessly, and weaved a large net that fell down.

Buzz! ! !

Sancai's killing sword trembled violently and moved forward through the air.

But it was like a flying insect burrowing into extremely thick glue. Every step forward was extremely difficult. After cutting off countless mysterious threads, it was finally entangled three times on the left and three on the right, and it was lost. all mobility capabilities.

Wei Tao waved gently and brought the three long swords closer to him.

Sensing the trace of murderous intent contained in each of them, he suddenly smiled with joy, and even the depression caused by the sneak attack was swept away.

The expression of the master of Hidden Sword Pavilion in the distance changed again.

He used the Sancai Killing Sword as a countermeasure, preparing to open the gap with murderous intent and target Heng Lian Yang Ji's physical body. Unexpectedly, it had no effect again.

But this time, he received an even bigger surprise.

"What kind of skill is this?"

"The Black Abyss of Brahma and the Weak Water of Luo Cha blended together so harmoniously, and in turn cut off the connection between me and the Sancai Killing Sword. This is simply unseen and unheard of."

"The Beihuang sect has practiced all the skills together, and the four spiritual thoughts are in one body. What kind of person is it that can achieve this level?"

The Master of Hidden Sword Pavilion took a deep breath of cold air and hesitated for a moment as to whether he should continue or not.

With four spiritual powers at his side, he would have no chance of winning if he took action as casually as before.

If you really want to fight, you can either open the sword box wide and use all your sword skills to fight the enemy.

Or you have to really stand in front of the other party and engage in a fight with your special skills.

Or the two methods are used together, and the opponent must be killed here at all costs.

The master of Hidden Sword Pavilion thought about it for two breaths and finally decided to forget it.

There is no need to have a life-and-death confrontation with this mysterious and powerful warrior at this time and at this place.

He has been practicing swordsmanship since he was a child. What he cultivates is the pure sword intention that goes forward without any hesitation, but it is definitely not a stubborn and stubborn act.

Being able to advance and retreat, and knowing yourself and your enemy are also valuable qualities for a swordsman.

Among many ancient books in the Sword Pavilion, there is indeed a saying that only those who can master love can master swords. However, many disciples have misunderstood the true meaning and embarked on a path that can be called twisted madness.

Thinking of this, the master of Hidden Sword Pavilion was about to turn around and leave.

At this moment, a sharp cry suddenly sounded in his ears, bringing with it a large bloody light.

There are also looming red flames, looming under the dark night, forming the appearance of a rising lotus.

The master of the Hidden Sword Pavilion was slightly startled, and an incredible thought flashed through his mind.

"This is the true meaning of the ghost car, the red lotus of karma."

"My Hidden Sword Technique can condense Qi and hide my body. It was just a slight fluctuation in my mood, but he discovered it."

"So, this person is the master of Xuanwu Wuji Lingming Qinglian Henglian who has attracted four kinds of spiritual thoughts into his body!?"

"For ordinary warriors to be able to communicate with heaven and man through a kind of martial art, it is already a blessing worthy of great joy.

This person has four spirits and five senses. It is really hard to imagine what kind of talent and qualifications he must have to achieve this level. "

“It seems that we can’t leave, so we have to stay and see the true face of this mysterious figure.

When I think about the fact that I am about to fight against the great master of four spirits and five senses, my sword heart, which has been nurtured for decades, can't help but feel a little excited and excited. "

"kindness!?"

The Master of Hidden Sword Pavilion was about to turn back, but suddenly stopped.

His pupils shrank slightly, and a twisted and tangled shadow appeared in his eyes, appearing next to him.

There was also a pitch-black palm with five fingers spread out, silently falling towards his shoulder.

Somewhere further away.

Wei Tao went through nine changes of spirit, looked at gods and spirits, and used the red lotus of karma to finally capture the deeply hidden figure in the dark.

"Sure enough, he lives up to his reputation as a swordsman of the Hidden Sword Pavilion. This old guy's ability to control his energy and conceal his body is almost as good as Sun Xiyue's invisibility."

"However, I finally found you."

Just as Wei Tao was about to take a step forward, his brow suddenly jumped, and the five fingers of his right hand opened into claws and grabbed directly towards the empty space on one side.

His right arm suddenly thickened and swelled, covered with cloud patterns and black scales, and sharp claws grew out, and he pressed down with force.

Click!

Unexpectedly, the grasp he gathered his strength to catch failed. His thick and sharp fingers collided together, making a sound like metal, and a ball of dazzling sparks exploded.

"Junior Brother Wei, on your left."

At this moment, Ni Hao's voice came quickly.

Wei Tao quickly turned his head, and a twisted shadow came into view.

Almost at the same time, the black shadow had wrapped around his body, and then shrank violently inward.

Click!

Click, click, click!

Except for the slight deformation of Wei Tao's body at the beginning, the twisted and entangled black shadow behind him could not be entangled at all, and there were even faint signs of being broken apart.

His face was expressionless, and his bones made a series of crisp sounds.

The figure expanded rapidly and was tightly restrained, creating a stalemate between the two.

The twisted black shadow kept increasing its strength, but it still couldn't wrap around or tighten it.

Cloud-patterned black scales emerged from under the skin, and thick and sharp barbs protruded from the joints, directly pushing the black shadow surrounding him into sharp arcs.

Uh-huh...

The twisted black shadow dispersed without warning.

boom!

Suddenly without the restraint of external power, Wei Tao instantly swelled to a height of more than ten feet. The long tail of the snake behind him swung wildly, smashing dark cracks into the hard ice and snow ground.

He slowly turned around and looked in the direction where the black shadow dispersed, a pair of scarlet eyes flashing with anger and irritability.
