A Journey Against Heaven and Earth

The woman propped her chin lazily, her eyes were long and narrow, showing a graceful and charming attitude, she chuckled lightly: "Mother?"

An Yun stood motionless on the spot, the woman raised her eyelids to look at him, and only waved to him: "Little baby, come here and play chess with me."

The Suzaku lamp hanging on the hook was flickering, some moths' wings were scalded by the lamp oil, the candle was shining brightly, An Yun's shadow was shaking under the lamp, he moved his footsteps and walked over.

When the woman saw An Yun approaching, she held Heizi with both hands, her eyelids were long and narrow, she looked towards the chessboard with a half-smile, and Baizi fell into a desperate situation instantly.

"It's been a long time since no one played chess with me." Her voice was rustling, her voice was flat, and her eyes were full of peerless charm and vicissitudes. She casually looked at An Yun and asked, "Your mother looks similar to me." ?”

An Yun took a deep breath, remained silent for a long time, and then said: "The appearance is the same."

"She passed away?" she asked with a smile.

An Yun was silent, she said with a faint smile: "That is really destined, about a long time ago, so long that I forgot the date, I had a child who died young, I looked at you and saw that your appearance was somewhat similar to him , the way of heaven says fate, it should be like this."

"I couldn't have a baby after that," she said.

An Yun's eyelids moved slightly, and there was a pleasant scent in the air, as if time had turned into wine. Suddenly, An Yun saw a trace of sadness in her smile. She tapped the chessboard with her slender fingers, raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: " Where is your baizi going?"

An Yun sat opposite her, her appearance made him unable to raise his guard, she was so similar to An Yun's mother, so similar that he almost wondered if her mother came to the world of heaven and earth like him?But her expression, behavior, and voice are very different from his mother's, just like in another world, there is an exactly the same person, they have different fates, different personalities, and opposite paths, and they live together in the same skin two different souls.

An Yun can't see through her cultivation, her eyes are too deep, with supercilious indifference, her every move is casual, as if standing at a height of "everyone is an ant except me", the life and death of an ant , It all depends on whether she is merciful or not.

Is she the devil?This thought suddenly popped up in An Yun's mind!He stared at her carefully, but he didn't see the shadow of the demon clan's aura at all, and Fenghuang Chuxue didn't respond.

The woman tapped the chessboard again with her fingertips, obviously waiting patiently for An Yun to play chess, but An Yun was uneasy at this moment and didn't want to play chess with her. This person must be in control of the overall situation here. It's death, it's all in her mind, can breaking the chess game open the door?No, it's her, she can open the door whenever she wants, and let you die.

Her fingertips tapped on the chessboard again, and she raised her brows and eyes slightly, and said with a soft smile, "I'll make dozens of moves, and if your white pieces don't fall, I'll poke your head."

Her tone was so soft that An Yun didn't even feel a trace of killing intent, but his whole body was already chilling, as if the chill had penetrated his bones, as if the scythe of death had been stuck in his neck!

An Yun finally put his mind on the chessboard. He was in Tianyu Kingdom before, and no one could play chess. He was the best national teacher who could communicate with the gods. When he was 12 years old, he was defeated by him. , but the woman in front of her is obviously not at the same level as those people.

An Yun didn't dare to be careless at all. He had already learned a lot when he was inside the gate of the bronze guard. He stared at the chessboard seriously, calculating in his mind how to move five or even ten steps back from the white piece. , put it on the chessboard, the woman suddenly laughed.

"I was just teasing you, but you actually took it seriously." She narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Your trick is brilliant, I lost."

An Yun made a chess salute to her politely: "I have accepted."

An Yun's chess game has sealed off all her escape routes, but she does have some tricks to dismantle, but masters always play chess with one step at a time. This game may take another hour, but the result will not be too unexpected.She has already seen the defeat, and it will be in vain to try again.

"Little baby, what are you doing here?" She squinted at him, her tone casual: "Could it be that you are also the one who is waiting to find the great treasure? Thinking about that treasure can increase your strength?"

"I'm here to find someone." An Yun said.

"Did you find it?"

"I found it, he is now fishing for the mirage, and we will go back when we find it."

The woman's eyes were slightly stern, and she said: "Are you looking for that phantom monster, or that little Yasha demon?"

An Yun was startled, she really knew, An Yun looked at her, and only said: "Both are the people I want to look for, I'm waiting for them."

The woman smiled and said: "The mirage is an invincible phantom beast, a phantom sound demon flower, and it also wants to devour the mirage? It's beyond self-control! My mirage has not eaten for a thousand years, and now it is rare for the same kind to appear, so I must treat it well. As for You..." Her eyes were bright and narrow under the candlelight, and she smiled slightly: "You called me mother as soon as you came, I am short of a son. I have been alone for nearly ten thousand years, it is time for you to be filial! My Son, don't stay with me!"

An Yun felt a soft qi attacking him, and he retreated quickly, but the qi was as sticky as sticky cake, covering only around An Yun's body, and then there was a flash of light, the qi hardened in an instant, turning into a cage!

"Tell me everything honestly." She stared at An Yun, teasingly said: "Sure enough, she is a good boy."

An Yun is not a good boy, he guessed that everything is under the control of this woman, lying will be seen through, it is better to tell the truth, but obviously the truth has no good results.

This person is the powerful person that the phantom sound said, the mirage guarded.

An Yun patted the cage, the cage was very soft, but there was no flaw in it, An Yun squatted on the spot and meditated, only said: "It's useless for you to lock me up."

The woman walked into the cage, and the cage instantly became a big circle, inside a vast expanse of whiteness, as if it were endless, so vast that no limit could be seen.

However, An Yun felt that the aura inside was extremely strong, as if she had practiced in the New Moon Secret Realm back then, all the advantages of the heavenly spirit body were revealed, and the aura surged in an orderly manner in her body. The woman sat far away in the high hall, only smiling and watching he.

Regardless of what An Yun's purpose is, it is a fact that she can't be beaten. The worst result is to be killed. Since she was not killed, but was restricted to a certain place to move around, the woman did nothing, so she just settled down to practice.

In the final analysis, he was restrained only because he was too weak. If that woman suddenly harassed him or killed him during his cultivation, it would only prove that he was just such a person.But An Yun thinks she won't, it's just intuition, An Yun believes in herself very much.

At this time, you can only believe in yourself. If you look left and right, think about the past and the future, you will often stop. He has no way to escape at this moment, because at this time he is only a golden core, so if he is a little stronger than the current self, will it make a difference? different?The answer may be the same, but if it stops, it must be no different, not even 'maybe' or 'maybe'.

This woman may be an illusion, she is just disturbing my mind, An Yun thought so.

I want to ignore her. If I am strong and my heart is unwavering, I will die on this way, so what's the matter?At least I didn't die ugly, I died well, and I wasn't disturbed by side doors.

An Yun was sure, and the exquisite sword move that he saw in the land of the bronze man began to appear in his mind. The sword move was more profound and exquisite than all the Kunlun School's swordsmanship, and it was so charming that people couldn't extricate themselves. It is included in this trick.

"Goodness is like water."

Someone murmured in the void, and An Yun was enlightened instantly. The phoenix Chuxue in his hand moved with his heart, and the sword in the void followed like a shadow. The sword is slow and powerful, like dark water, like a still stream——

"All living things in water."

I saw the sword, and suddenly there was a golden sound, like a surging tide, and a mountain torrent collapsed instantly. , the murderous intent burst out——

"All things are one."

But seeing the phoenix Chuxue in An Yun's hand, it was like the tide stopped instantly, and the voice stopped suddenly.The hustle and bustle stopped, the world seemed to be frozen, everything was lifeless, life was harvested, only one person and one sword stood on the vast land, unmoving like a rock.

An Yun was immersed in the boundless sword intent, and stood still for a long time. The world was full of golden sword energy, and the sword energy shuttled through An Yun's body, as if dividing his body into countless small swords, but he did not move. , only in place.

Dao energy around him suddenly surged, he didn't notice it, he just sat in meditation, the spiritual energy surged in his body, and poured into his dantian one by one in an irresistible order.

The Tianling body is like a spiritual energy harvester, and An Yun's energy channels have widened to an astonishing extent. His Dao heart is unwavering, and the spiritual energy rolls towards his golden core, and the golden core becomes more and more stable. It became more and more solid, and when the hardness and stability reached the extreme, as if it was just and brittle, a crack appeared in the golden core!

A thunderbolt suddenly fell from the sky, and An Yun was about to become a baby!

Those thunders were eighteen thunderbolts. An Yun's figure was covered by the thick and bright thunder light. He sat there, motionless, his expression as cold as a sculpture. His cultivation was not slow, as if the thunder was neither a bottleneck nor a barrier. , It's just an ordinary and ordinary step that must be taken!

He didn't even stay for a moment, and entered the Nascent Soul Stage with ease. The realm of the Nascent Soul Stage became wider in an instant, as if he could perceive the world more, and the aura like spring rain moistened his body. An Yun led the aura to consolidate the realm, and then entered A new round of repeated tempering.

The way of the sword became more and more clear in his heart. During the continuous refinement, the thunder that roared and fell to the ground resounded through the world again. He didn't know the age, time, cultivation level, and where he was. He just kept strengthening himself. His spiritual consciousness became clearer, he could almost see the spiritual energy between the heaven and the earth, and the wind that spread its wings and danced in the sky shuttled through his body, entangled with it endlessly.

"It's actually... that I have reached the stage of transforming gods—"

An Yun's state of mind has reached the extreme, and if he continues to practice, his state will not be able to keep up with his cultivation.

He slowly opened his eyes, and saw the woman walking across from him with a kind face, and praised: "You are so powerful that no one can match, but you suddenly concentrated on cultivating under such circumstances. Your future is limitless. my child."

An Yun looked at her and asked, "How long have I been practicing?"

The woman smiled and said, "100 years."

"It has been cultivated for 100 years!" An Yun cultivated so seriously that he didn't realize that the time was passing like a flood.

The woman smiled again: "But it's only a day."

As she spoke, she walked out of the cage slowly. The cage was as thin as a ball of light. Her black hair passed through the cage, just like time magic. The hair outside the ball of light gradually became snow-white and grew to the ground.

"I'm getting old." Her eyes drooped slightly, her beautiful face showed a trace of fatigue, her white hair was spread on her thin back, long and dragged on the jade floor together with her neon clothes.
