I practice ruthless way

Yan Wushu only replied "have a good rest".Xiao Man didn't speak again, he sat on the couch and watched Yan Wushu go out, and closed the door behind his back.

What he wanted was not an answer from Yan Wushu.The relationship between the two of them does not exist without holding a joint registration ceremony and announcing it to the world.

Many years ago, the stars turned upside down, and the lines of fate were already intertwined at the moment they first met, and then the sky sent an order, ordering the priest to announce, saying that the mirror of the world reflected his marriage with him.

At the age of nineteen, Xiao Man lived in the Jokhang Temple to recuperate.Yan Wushu had just finished a mission and hid in the Jokhang Temple to recover from his injuries.

Xiao Man's illness was brought out from an abortion, and only a few Buddhist teachings from the Jokhang Temple can cure him.

Yan Wushu was on a secret mission, and he couldn't let others find out that he was injured. He didn't let Xiao Man find a doctor, and he was seriously injured. One of the knife wounds ran from his left shoulder to his waist, almost splitting him in two .

Xiao Man had to do it himself.

He suffered many injuries when he was young, but the physique of the Phoenix clan is superior to that of the human race, and their self-healing power is extremely strong. Most of the time, the wounds healed before the bandaging started.After being rescued by Yan Wushu and sent to the Jokhang Temple, he has never been injured since then, so he has no chance to learn how to deal with these situations.

Everything is learned and sold now, debridement, medicine, bandaging, and even suture, from rough and busy to meticulous and familiar, and later there is leisure to pull a flower.

About half a year later, when the first autumn leaves fell from the branches, the host suddenly sent a little novice monk to persuade guests to come from afar and want to see him.

Xiao Man was taken aback, thinking that Yan Wushu's hiding place with him had been exposed, so he turned around and was about to hide him.Yan Wushu lay in the rocking chair and laughed, "It's not for my business."

"How do you know?" Xiao Man asked.

"It's deduced." Yan Wushu said slowly, holding the folding fan and tapping his palm lightly.

Xiao Man tilted his head, his eyes swept across Yan Wushu from top to bottom, and asked in disbelief: "Then who is the one who deduced it, and what is it?"

Yan Wushu started counting, and at the end, he raised his eyebrows, with a look of surprise on his face: "There is someone from Wudao."

"Where is Kirishima?"

"Located in the far east, an island hidden in the overlapping mist, most of the people who live in it are priests, serving the heaven that hangs above our heads and never falls."

Xiao Mangang said "Oh", and saw a person walking into the court.He wore a sky-blue Taoist robe, a white jade hair crown, and a solemn and dignified demeanor. His eyes swept over Xiao Man and Yan Wushu, he shook his whisk, and said: "Mr. Lingguang is good at calculating."

Xiao Man greeted the priest from Kirishima, Yan Wushu sat in the chair without moving, and said lightly, "I dare not do it", and then said: "Generally speaking, it is probably not a good thing for priests to leave Kirishima."

"This statement is wrong. I came out of the island this time to announce the good news to Lord Ling Guang." The priest shook his whisk again, and his tone was not very good. He said it was good news, but it sounded like a funeral.

No matter how young and ignorant he was, Xiao Man could tell that Yan Wushu didn't get along well with this priest of Wudao.Xiao Man quickly winked at the little novice who was leading the way, telling him to leave, and then poured a cup of tea for the two.

Priest Kirishima sat down at the stone table outside the corridor, and after a cup of tea, he said to Yan Wushu and Xiao Man, "It's a happy event for the two of you."

"Why do you like it?" Yan Wushupi asked with a smile on his face.

The person on the opposite side stared at Yan Wushu, and said slowly: "The mirror of the world shows that the two of you are destined."

Yan Wushu was speechless: "This is nonsense."

Priest Kirishima put the cup on the table and spit out two words: "Marriage."

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Man was stunned, and Yan Wushu remained silent.

It was only later that Xiao Man learned that Zhao Shijing and Jidong Kirishima were the tools and places to act on behalf of the will of the Heavenly Dao, and Zhao Shijing revealed the marriage between him and Yan Wushu, which was no different from the marriage referred to by the Heavenly Dao.

What kind of existence is the way of heaven?There is no way to explain the fate they have drawn together with their own hands. Perhaps only the death of one person can erase the origin.

He breathed a sigh of relief in the silence of the night, what Yan Wushu said back then was a prophecy.

It is probably not a good thing for the priest to leave Kirishima.

The fate of the previous life was so miserable, Xiao Man didn't want to have anything to do with this person anymore.It is impossible for him to die by himself, but to kill Yan Wushu, the possibility of success is very slim - he is now in the realm of embracing the void, that person has reached the upper realm of Taixuan, one step away from the realm of a saint, he is really too weak.

So he must make himself strong, strong enough to compete with Yan Wushu, strong enough to cut off the grudge between him and Yan Wushu with a single sword.

He was so powerful that no matter what the meaning of Tiandao's move was, if he defied the sky, the sky would not dare to punish and complain to him.

"It turned out to be someone from Kirishima, but what the priest wanted to say was probably not a good thing, so he didn't welcome him."

Outside the gate of Gushan Mountain, Yan Wushu raised his black clothes lightly, and led some elders to block the way of a Taoist.The Taoist is dressed in green clothes, crowned with white jade, and holds a whisk in his hand. He is the priest of Kirishima.

Since a long time ago, the relationship between Gushan and Jidong Kirishima has not been friendly. No one objected to Yan Wushu's attitude at this time, and even snorted coldly to show his unfriendliness to the priest of Kirishima.

Priest Kirishima walks in the way of heaven and is respected by everyone on Xuantian Continent. When he came to the lonely mountain, he was blocked at the mountain pass and couldn't even enter the door. It was really embarrassing.

But he was not surprised by the treatment he received, swept the whisk away, and snorted softly: "At Haishi the night before, there was chaos in the astrolabe, and the point of indication should be the lonely mountain."

At present, Kui Ye has passed, and it will be Mao's time soon, and the eve before Priest Kirishima refers to several hours ago.

This man came so fast.Yan Wushu's eyes turned, and the folding fan swayed faintly: "Wushima's Yufeng Jue is really good. In this way, the meaning of the astrolabe is that my lonely mountain is going to be chaotic?"

Priest Kirishima looked haughty: "I don't know exactly what it refers to. I came here this time just to inform."

"I'm afraid it's a warning." Yan Wushu smiled, "Can you tell me what kind of chaos appeared on the astrolabe?"

The priest said: "Some stars will deviate from their original trajectory."

"So that's how it is." Yan Wushu made a clear expression, and said with a smile: "Why come here in person for things that can be explained clearly in a few words, wouldn't it be better to write a letter?"

"Hmph." The whisk waved again, and the priest turned around without even saying hello, and left without saying goodbye.

Quiet in front of the mountain gate, an elder standing behind Yan Wushu frowned: "Although the people in Wudao are an eyesore, they won't send random messages. Is it true that something will happen to my lonely mountain?"

"It's not necessarily a bad thing for the stars to deviate from their tracks." Yan Wushu glanced at the sky, and said softly, "I'll report to the head, everyone, please go back."

The group of people dispersed separately and walked away.

At three o'clock in the morning, in the sky, the sword light hanging high from east to west finally faded, and a ray of morning light appeared, slowly dyeing the clouds.The wind blew up in the forest, the birds twittered, and Xiao Man on the couch opened his eyes.

Last night Yan Wushudu's spiritual power and the bright moon dew under the kimono had been completely absorbed, and the backlash of the secret technique was much reduced. He straightened his sleeves, got up and walked to the window, and pushed the window open to let the wind blow in.

The mountain wind is cold, the dew is not yet shining, it is far from the time when he usually wakes up, Rong Yuan who waits on him is busy with other things, Xiao Man did not disturb him, he squeezed Taoism to wash his face, and left the hermitage.

Xueyi Peak is in the east, and Xiao Man sat on the back of the flying beast, heading west at a leisurely pace.

Gushan respected penance, most of the disciples got up early and stayed late, before dawn, there were sword sounds on the peaks, and birds chirping in the trees, it sounded quite noisy.Only Tingyun Peak, the loneliest and most extreme, has no sound of swords - I heard that the two masters there never accept apprentices, and they wandered together hand in hand.

Xiao Man's eyes flicked over Tingyun Peak, thoughtful.

About half an hour later, Bai Huafeng arrived.

This is Xiao Man's second visit to Baihua Peak. Naturally, he doesn't know where the Chaoyu Tower is in class. Fortunately, Flying Beast knows it well. After hearing Xiao Man's explanation, he fluttered his wings and turned around.

There are already many people sitting in the Chaoyu Tower, but they never wear the uniform uniform of low-level disciples, but there are books on the tables.

Only then did Xiao Man realize that he had no books.Not only that, but he was a little nervous inside.

During the years of recuperating and cultivating Buddhism in the Jokhang Temple, he stayed alone in the Buddhist temple and never went out. If he encountered something in the Buddhist scriptures that he could not understand, he would ask the abbot and the eminent monks and masters for advice.

Later, when he came to Gushan, he lived in Xueyi Peak and didn't go out much. The things he did most were reading books and growing flowers.Having lived for more than a hundred years, he has never had the experience of practicing and studying with so many people.

Xiao Man got off Peng Niao's back. The latter sensed his mood and rubbed his furry head against his cheek.Xiao Man was amused by Pengniao's actions, said goodbye to it, raised his eyes to look at Chaoyu Tower, and didn't enter immediately.

The disciples who come and go here are all in a hurry, and occasionally some people turn their heads to look at Xiao Man, but most of them just go in with their heads depressed.Suddenly, a voice sounded:

"Brother—brother—"

The voice was a bit familiar, Xiao Man looked over curiously, his eyes blurred, and someone jumped up in front of him and hooked his shoulders in a very invisible way: "Brother, are you here for class? Go, go, don't you If you go in, you will be fined for copying!"

It was the one who had been hiding behind the rocks during the chaos last night, planning to wait for others to decide the outcome before launching a sneak attack, and it was also the one who was finally knocked unconscious by Xiao Man's bow.

Different from yesterday's all-black suit, at this moment he was wearing a golden robe, and the sleeves fluttered and fell in the early morning when the sky was still bright and the mist had not cleared, which was quite eye-catching.

Although Xiao Man said he had seen him, he didn't know him. He planned to tear this man off his body, but before he could do it, he had already dragged him into Chaoyu Building.

"I haven't seen you on Baihua Peak before, are you new here yesterday? My name is Qu Hanxing, and I sing Xiaoquer's song. Hanxing, of course, refers to the stars in the sky. What about you, you..."

Qu Hanxing walked and said, suddenly there was a pause, and Xiao Man was dragged aside.

The Chaoyu Building, which was still very noisy just now, was quiet. An elderly Taoist walked in through the door, walked straight to the front table, brushed his clothes and sat down, facing everyone.

This Taoist has gray temples, a serious expression and a serious expression.Qu Hanxing lowered his voice and whispered in Xiao Man's ear, "This is today's lesson, surnamed Yang."

The seats in the hall were already occupied, but there were only two left at the end by the window. Qu Hanxing took Xiao Man there to sit down. It was obvious that he wanted to say something more, but he heard that the person sitting at the front Teacher Yang rang the bell.

It's time for class.

Everyone was silent, Xiao Man flicked his sleeves and sat upright.

Qu Hanxing took out the books used for this class, glanced at Xiao Man, and then pushed the books to the middle of the table: "Are you out of books? Let's read together."

"Speaking of which, your hand archery is really amazing, where did you learn it? How long have you been practicing?"

"You seem to know how to control the wind? Didn't you say that you can't control the wind in the Void Realm? Can you teach..."

Qu Hanxing kept talking in a low voice, Xiao Man became impatient from the initial gratitude, and was about to throw out "don't make noise", when Yang Jiaoxi, who was at the front, rang the small bell, looked at the window with deep eyes, and asked : "Qu Hanxing, what are the three basic elements that make up the elementary fire talisman?"

"Ah?" Qu Hanxing raised his head in a daze, "What?"

Teacher Yang let out a "hmm" and raised his voice, "Can't answer?"

"You didn't say anything about it just now." Qu Hanxing said innocently.Although he said a few small words, he also noticed that Teacher Yang only asked them to open the book, and hadn't started the lecture yet.

"This is the content of the previous class!" Teacher Yang said angrily, pulled out the pointer out of thin air, and tapped heavily on the table, "So confused, I copied the content of the previous class and this class ten times!"

Qu Hanxing took a deep breath, the innocence and sincerity he pretended disappeared from his face, and his expression became extremely sad.

Yang Jiaoxi turned his gaze and landed on Xiao Man, "I'll let you answer the question just now."

Qu Hanxing weakly raised his hand: "Teacher, today is his first day in class."

When the voice fell to the ground, half of the people in the hall looked at Xiao Man with different expressions.Teacher Yang threw the pointer on the table and said, "It's the first day of class, but it doesn't mean I don't know."

Qu Hanxing gave Xiao Man a look of "Brother, I can only help you here", and retreated to his position.Xiao Man looked back at Professor Yang, and said calmly: "I have never practiced fire talismans before."

Yang Jiaoxi shook his head and said "Come on", opened the book, raised his voice and said, "Amulets are one of the ways for practitioners to communicate with the five elements of heaven and earth..."

With the start of the lecture, the eyes of Xiao Man with different meanings disappeared one after another.The birds outside the window chirped, and after an unknown period of time, a tit flew into the Chaoyu Building and put a bunch of grapes it brought on the table in front of Xiao Man.The drowsy Qu Hanxing was awakened, rubbed his eyes, looked at Xiao Man in disbelief, and then at the fruit.

Xiao Man gave some points to Qu Hanxing.The latter peeled off the skin and put it in his mouth for a taste, then gave Xiao Man a thumbs up: "It's so sweet! Brother, your hand is really good!"

At the same time, Teacher Yang closed the book with a snap and stood up:

"That's all for the explanation and demonstration of the elementary fire talisman, and then you can do it yourself. After an hour, I will come back to check. If someone fails to succeed, the assessment level of the lesson 'The First Explanation of the Talisman Dao' will be recorded as D."

After finishing speaking, he left Chaoyu Tower.

There were conversations in the building.

Xiao Man looked out the window, raised his eyebrows slightly: "So strict?"

The young man sitting in front of him turned his head: "Of course, Gushan doesn't need incompetent people. Although Bai Huafeng has a lot of people now, after half a year, less than [-]% of the people who are eligible to stay in Gushan. So we have to fight our lives Go for it."

The boy was wearing a loose white robe, he looked a few years younger than Xiao Man, about fourteen or fifteen years old, and his smile was quite cute.

"His name is Mo Juntian." Qu Hanxing extended his hand to introduce Xiao Man.

"Juntian?" Xiao Man was inexplicably familiar with this name.

Qu Hanxing's expression changed slightly, and he dragged his tone, "Speaking of which, I don't know your name yet."

Xiao Man: "My name is Xiao Man."

"Xiao Man...Xiao Man." Qu Hanxing nodded, showing a smile, "Well, a good name."

"Han Xing, these are the notes just now." Mo Juntian turned around and handed the booklet on his desk to Qu Hanxing.

Qu Hanxing showed an expression as if relatives reunited after a long absence, held Mo Juntian's hand, and said excitedly: "I am grateful! I am grateful!"

"He can't listen to the talismans every time, but he can learn some by following the notes." Mo Juntian explained to Xiao Man.

Xiao Man nodded to indicate his understanding, glanced at the half-bunch of grapes on the table, and asked, "Do you want to eat grapes?"

"Is it possible?" Mo Juntian was flattered.

Xiao Man handed him the grapes.

After the boy surnamed Mo thanked him and turned around, Xiao Man turned his head to look at the notes in Qu Hanxing's hand, glanced at them, and found that Mo Juntian had memorized every word Yang Jiaoxi had said earlier, and the handwriting was clean and tidy , there is not half a typo in the whole article.

"How about it, Juntian is amazing!" Qu Hanxing noticed Xiao Man's gaze, and patted the book with a proud face.

Then he said, "Let's watch together!"

The notes replaced the "First Explanation of the Talisman" placed in the middle of the table.

Xiao Man's reading speed is very fast, almost ten lines at a glance, while Qu Hanxing is slower.The speed of the two was different, so Xiao Man asked Qu Hanxing to borrow "The First Explanation of Talismans and Dao" and left the notes for him to read.

Xiao Man flipped through the book page by page.He was not very interested in talismans before, and he only had a rough understanding of this aspect, but now it seems that it is still so...boring.

He put the book down and sighed helplessly.

"How is it? Is it boring?" Qu Hanxing put the pen between his mouth and nose, folded his arms, and said quietly.He also put down Mo Juntian's notes long ago.

"So, since you don't have the mind to read, let's draw directly!" Qu Hanxing raised his hand and grabbed the pen, pulled the clean talisman paper that was handed out earlier, and started to draw the talisman.

Xiao Man didn't do anything, he quietly looked at the people in Chaoyu Tower with curiosity.

The three who fought to the end last night sat in the front, they had already drawn talismans, some were surrounded to ask for advice, and some sat there coldly, motionless, as if they were in meditation.Few of the rest are done, and they all look sad.

This is the most natural thing.According to the calculations that Mo Juntian told him just now, Xiao Man concluded that this year is only the third year for this group of disciples.How many people have entered the Tao for three years, but they are just scratching at the threshold. They can make an attempt—even if they fail, it is already remarkable.

Just as Xiao Man was thinking this way, he suddenly heard a "bang" from inside the building.

——Something exploded, the position was directly to the right of him, the aftermath was still there, the heat wave was still there, and the distance was very close.Xiao Man looked aside, as expected, Qu Hanxing failed.

The man's face was blackened into a lump of carbon, only half of the talisman held between the index finger and middle finger remained, and the remaining half was turned into ashes, flying and spinning in mid-air, and finally fell on the table.

"Han Xing, are you alright?" Mo Juntian turned around and asked worriedly.

"It's okay." Qu Hanxing slowly put down the half-way talisman in his hand, took a deep breath, wiped his face with his sleeve, grabbed a clean yellow talisman, and picked up the pen again.

He failed again.

Then I failed the third time, the fourth time, the fifth time... until even the pen was blown off.

Xiao Man lent the pen in his place to Qu Hanxing, who, with his messy hair, contemplated for a long time before writing.

The initial talisman is not complicated and does not need to inject too much spiritual power, but it is not easy for those who are new to the Taoist sect.Qu Hanxing's drawing speed became slower and slower, and it took a quarter of an hour before the last stroke was drawn.He breathed out and was about to push, Xiao Man grabbed his hand.

"and many more."

"Why?" Qu Hanxing asked puzzled.

Xiao Man didn't explain, his fingers walked around the paper along the lines drawn by Qu Hanxing, stopped at a certain place, and said: "There is a stroke missing here, I have to tick it up."

Qu Hanxing raised his eyebrows, doubtful: "Really?"

Xiao Man: "Try it and you will know."

Holding the mentality of "Anyway, I have failed so many times, it's okay to do it one more time", Qu Hanxing followed Xiao Man's instructions and added a stroke to the talisman paper.

He glanced at Xiao Man, who nodded to him.

The spiritual power overflowed from Qu Hanxing's fingertips and poured into the talisman paper.

It was too late to say it, and then it was too fast, and there was a sound of "咻", and the flames rose steadily.

"You you you you... how did you do it!" Qu Hanxing jumped up excitedly, and the flames swayed, "Don't you know how to write fire talismans? I didn't see how you listened to the class just now!"

Xiao Man: "No way."

"Then how did you do it?"

"By feeling."

As the words came out, a sneer came from somewhere in Chaoyu Building.Qu Hanxing glared at the man and was about to speak when he saw Yang Jiaoxi flying into the building, looking around the crowd with a straight face, and said:

"It's time, take out your talisman papers, and I'll check them one by one."

The atmosphere in Chaoyu Building suddenly changed. Those who had just talked and chatted, those who wrote vigorously, and even those who laughed aloud, all stopped and sat upright in the banquet.

Qu Hanxing held up the burning talisman paper and asked Xiao Man in a low voice: "What should you do? If you don't write a talisman, you have to remember Ding et al."

"The talisman paper is something that communicates the five elements of the world. Practitioners cannot directly call out fire, so they use the fire talisman as a medium to summon the fire element. If they get a response, it is considered a success." Xiao Man's tone was calm, and his speech was neither too fast nor too slow. , the voice is clear and moist, like a spring dripping among the rocks, "I don't need to be so troublesome."

"Then what are you going to do?" Qu Hanxing asked.

Xiao Man raised his hand, and quickly drew a few strokes in the void with his fingers.

In an instant, a blazing flame rose up, hanging in the air, burning forever.

Yang Jiaoxi, who was standing obliquely in front, stroked his beard, showing a look of surprise: "However, in just one hour, it has reached the level where you can write talismans directly without relying on talisman paper?"
