Xiao Han [Shooting Condor]

Xie Yao walked the peak alone, silently, and came outside Yujing Cave before dawn.

The top was shrouded in clouds and mist, hazy, the snow reflected silver light, and the cold wind blew the fluff on the collar of the fox fur, he couldn't help squinting his eyes slightly.

The entrance of the cave was still in place, and it was so dark that it could not be seen inside.Xie Yao stepped forward, hesitated for a moment, then suddenly raised his hand, exerted his strength, and inscribed on the left and right sides of the cave door with only his fingers, "It can change the world, suddenly it is Yujing", and then wrote "Yujing Cave" on the entrance of the cave. .

If anyone sees him carving words on the rock with his bare hands, even Master Yideng, who is good at fingering, will be amazed. You must know that only finger strength is the most difficult to practice, and lettering requires long-term infusion of internal strength rather than a moment.

After Xie Yao finished writing, he looked up at those words in a daze, and stood in the wind and snow for a long time, but he was thinking in his heart, is there really Qionglou Yujing in this world?The living cannot know, but the dead can see it. It is like being separated from each other in the world, one in the sky and the other in the ground. They miss each other, but they can never meet.

The scenery in the cave was still extremely magnificent, and the upside-down ice reflected Xie Yao's figure in fox fur. Xie Yao was slightly stunned, and immediately turned his back.He didn't want to see himself alone, Xie Yao sighed, and secretly reminded himself not to be immersed in the pain of lovesickness, life is short, and the road to rivers and lakes is still long, he was busy facing the cold pool, sat cross-legged, and silently recited the mantra of pure heart several times , Abandon distracting thoughts, no longer think about other things.

He recalled that the exercises he unintentionally used that day were assisted by innate skills, which were quite innate.So Xie Yao started from the beginning and ran the basic mental methods of Quanzhen Sect one by one for twelve weeks. Where it passes, the tendons and veins seem to be broken and then reconnected. The more cycles they run, the more intense the pain will be.There was faint sweat on his forehead, and he had long forgotten where he was. At this moment, Qi and blood in his dantian were churning, he heard thunder, his limbs were all itchy with severe pain, and the mixed internal force before faintly seemed to break through.Xie Yao still has reason, and he knows that the devil is born from the heart, and that is the truth if you don't hear it or don't see it.When practitioners reach a certain level, they will often have hallucinations. Regardless of the pain and tinnitus at this time, treat them as illusions and ignore them, so as not to go crazy.

Xie Yao didn't know how long he had survived, but he felt that the chaotic air suddenly became soft, like a wild horse that had been tamed.However, there was a temporary sign at this time, Xie Yao didn't wait to rest, and remembered that "the Dao was first repaired to open the nine orifices", the chaotic energy was originally in the Weilu acupoint, so it first rushed from the bottom of the Yongquan's feet, and then the Yongquan rushed up to his knees , over the knees and slowly to the tail, the top of the mud ball circles, and so on. During this cycle, I don’t know how many times I became dizzy and confused. In the middle, Xie Yao recalled the scenes of life and death again, and couldn’t help but feel angry. He got up, his chest heaved, and white smoke came out of his head. He opened his eyes suddenly, and his eyes were blood red.

However, at this time, it is the time when the sun rises and the moon sets alternately. Through the entrance of the cave, you can just see the sun and the moon shining together on the top of the mountain.In an instant, as if two bright lights swept across the haze, the blood red in Xie Yao's eyes faded, and peace and tranquility returned.He calmed down, this time he was not disturbed by his inner demons, and made knot seals with his left and right hands respectively on his knees.The so-called brilliance of the sun and the moon is the harmony of yin and yang, the combination of hardness and softness, and the opposite of positive and negative.Xie Yao supported it with both hands, the chaotic qi is exactly "Qi". Confucianism calls it grand righteousness, the power of infinity, Taoism calls it innate purple qi, and Buddhism regards it as the true image of the indestructible vajra.

The innate qi, that is, the inner qi, can only be formed after the great vehicle of innate kung fu, but it is no longer usable by innate kung fu.

Xie Yao was burned by the raging fire from the Nirvana Furnace and opened the triple burner entrance, which is no different from a shortcut.He found the way from the bottom of his heart, so he penetrated the whole body with qi, the left is heavy, the left is empty, and the right is gone, the right is heavy, the right is empty, and the strength is distributed on both arms, and applied to the fingers. This qi flows from bottom to top, can If you know how to open and close, you will know yin and yang.Wuji is the origin of heaven and earth, the root of all things, and the cardinal of good fortune; the congenital purple qi is omnipresent, pervading the ten directions, neither increasing nor decreasing, and eternally existing; the truth is that there is no birth and death, but because of ignorance, it arouses everything Phase, like water caused by wind, wild waves and sudden movements, like wind stopping.

However, Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism are inseparable from the sun, the moon, the universe, and only when they complement each other can they complement each other.The qi in Xie Yao's body has accumulated innumerable strands in his dantian, but he still can't move his mind freely and send and receive freely. Now it's the most critical moment for his kung fu. Xie Yaozhou is full of qi. It is necessary to go through the four major barriers of "wind, breath, breath, and breath". At the beginning of practicing, there are many hallucinations. During meditation, there will be a sudden feeling of "breathing breeze from all orifices", which is the "wind" barrier; at this stage , the most prone to madness.

Xie Yao suddenly let out a shriek, which sounded like a dragon singing in a marsh and a tiger roaring in an empty valley.The howling sound contained supreme internal force, and the ice edge in the cave jumped down and shattered to the ground.

After he survived the most difficult and dangerous hurdle, he began to rest silently.

※※※

The ice and snow have just melted and the grass is green. It is early spring.Ding Yue and Shentu Xingchong sat in front of the door, staring blankly at the direction of Yujing Peak.

"Master has been gone for three months."

Shentu Xingchong shook his head: "Wrong, it's two months and 27 days."

The two looked at each other and sighed.Obviously Xie Yao said that he would come down the mountain to see them often, but there was no news of him leaving. Ding Yue couldn't help but said: "Brother, is something wrong with Master?"

Shen Tu Xing was stunned for a moment, and said anxiously: "No way, master...how could something happen." But he himself said this without any confidence.

"Master is not a god, he will also be born, old, sick and die."

The two discussed with each other for a while, Ding Yue suddenly stood up and said, "Let's go find Master!"

Shentu Xingchong hesitated and said, "But..."

"Oh, senior brother, why are you such a mother-in-law!" Ding Yue turned around and walked into the room as soon as he finished speaking, took out a bundle of hemp rope and carried it on his shoulders, "Get ready, let's go climbing."

Although Shentu Xingchong is a senior brother, but after getting along for a long time, he is often led by the nose by Ding Yue.Shentu Xingchong was also too worried about Xie Yao, thinking that it would be good to see him anyway.He filled the reed manger with fodder, locked the door, fastened the two axes to his waist, looked at the peak, and said loudly, "Let's go!"

The two walked towards Yujing Peak with one foot deep and the other shallow. At first, they only felt that although the peak towered into the clouds, it was not too dangerous.However, when they reached the foot of the mountain, the two looked up, but they couldn't see the top of the mountain at all.The cold wind was like a knife, Ding Yue couldn't help shivering, his previous energy completely disappeared, and tremblingly said: "Brother, let's go back."

Shentu Xingchong looked up, gritted his teeth and said, "Since you're here, climb up!"

Ding Yue had no choice but to go forward and hold hands with him. The two slowly climbed up. During the period, neither of them spoke, and they climbed halfway up the mountain without knowing it.At this time, the terrain suddenly rose, and the rocks were covered with snow and ice. The palms of the two were sweating, and they rested for a while on the mountainside before climbing up again.The higher you go, the steeper the mountain road, but the two senior brothers have ropes around their waists, you pull me, I pull you, stepping on the stones step by step, slowly climbing up.Shentu Xingchong did not forget to remind him: "Junior brother, keep your feet on the ground!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ding Yue suddenly stepped on the air, his body fell suddenly, and the ice and snow fell, Ding Yue screamed, took out the iron fan in a hurry, embedded it heavily in the cliff, and slid on a protruding ice surface , hold your figure.

Both of them turned pale with fright, Shentu asked out of breath, "Are you alright?"

Ding Yue touched his chest with lingering fear, shook his head and said, "It's okay."

Now the two of them didn't dare to be careless anymore, tensed their nerves, leaned against the mountain wall to eat the steamed buns they brought when they were hungry, and picked a piece of solid ice from the cliff wall to hold in their mouths when they were thirsty.He stopped and walked, and after a few days, he saw a broken wall, Shen Tu Xing rushed to chop the double ax on the broken wall, and used it as a ladder to climb up.He turned around and pulled Ding Yue up again. The two of them looked around, only to realize that they had reached Fangping, the top of Yujing Peak.

Both Shentu Xingchong and Ding Yue were sweating profusely, and the cold wind howled on the top of the mountain, and a layer of frost formed on their eyelashes in an instant.

"Oh my god, it's so cold." Ding Yue stomped his feet, just in time to see a cave entrance, but saw poems written on both sides of the cave entrance, and the three big characters "Yujing Peak" jumped into his eyes.

Shen Tu Xing Chong saw that this was the Yujing Cave, and couldn't help rushing in overjoyed: "Master! Master!"

The two got into the cave, but saw a piece of ice slag, as if it had been shattered by something, and the cave was crystal clear, like a fairyland.Shentu Xingchong saw a person sitting cross-legged beside the cold pool at a glance, he walked over quickly, stretched out his hand and shook: "Master, my junior brother and I came to look for..." The tentacles were stiff, like a piece of ice.

Shentu Xingchong suddenly lost all blood, and said in a trembling voice: "...Master?"

Ding Yue staggered forward, stretched out his hand to check Xie Yao's breath, and threw himself into his arms to listen to his heartbeat carefully, but these were of no avail, Xie Yao was like an ice sculpture, lifeless.

The two saw that Xie Yao's skin was bruised and purple, and his whole body was covered with a thin layer of frost. Except for his soft clothes and newly grown hair, his whole body was extremely stiff, and he had been dead for an unknown number of days.Ding Yue was the first to hold back, and raised his head and burst into tears: "Master, you died so badly!"

"Master..." Shen Tuxing's eyes flushed red, and he also burst into tears.

The two children cried for a while in front of Xie Yao, and Ding Yue asked with tears in his eyes: "Brother, even the master is dead now, what should we do?"

Shentu Xingchong shook his head, but shook hands with him tightly, and said, "Junior Brother, from now on, we are the only ones who will depend on each other."

The two felt sad and wanted to bury their master in the same place. They shoveled the snow, buried Xie Yao in a mound, and moved a stone slab from the cliff to stand in front of the snow mound.Shentu Xingchong picked up an ax and was about to engrave characters when he suddenly wondered, "What should be engraved on this tombstone?"

When he asked, the two of them realized that they had known Xie Yao for such a long time, yet they never knew his layman's name.Ding Yue said: "It's better to forget about Master Xuan."

Shen Tu Xingchong nodded, picked up the axe, and chiseled on the tombstone bit by bit: "The tomb of Master 'Wang' Xuan."

The two kowtowed respectfully to Xie Yao three more times and went down the mountain the same way.After living at the foot of the mountain for a while, Ding Yue and Shentu Xingchong always felt that Xie Yao was dead, they were destined to continue wandering, and they left hand in hand with a feeling of sadness, but they didn't know that this journey took many years.
