Jiang Yao asked Ling Du: "You are all martial arts cultivators. Since you all think it is weird and unknown, it must be something serious. What exactly happened?"
Ling Du answered cautiously: "Back to my lord, over the past hundreds of years, strange and evil things have happened in this abandoned cave. Not to mention the cultivation of warriors like us, even if a martial arts master enters at night, it will be difficult to protect ourselves."
"Martial cultivators are not afraid of ghosts, even ghost cultivators are not afraid, let alone the ghosts that mortals are afraid of. The weirdness in it is far more terrifying than the ghosts."
"It is said that if you enter at night, you will see a nine-foot-tall old man with a sunken head, green skin and a protruding forehead. He is holding a bamboo slip and muttering a strange sentence in his mouth."
"What are you talking about?" Jiang Yao frowned.
Ling Du had a strange look on his face, "That sentence is, those who can do the five will be in the world, and those who can do the five will be in the world... Just these seven words, but they are repeated over and over again, as if they are a question, asking people to answer the next sentence
.”
"However, no one in the world knows what this sentence means, so how can they answer the next sentence?"
"So, I kept thinking hard and couldn't extricate myself from it. I couldn't come out until dawn. But when I came out, the foundation of the Tao was gone and I became a mortal slave."
"I heard that this is an extremely ancient and terrifying evil spirit, or a powerful inner demon. As long as it is entangled, your cultivation will be ruined, and life will be worse than death."
Daoji is the lifeblood of martial arts. If Daoji is abolished and reduced to a mortal slave, imagine how terrible it is.
When Jiang Yao heard Ling Du's words, a turmoil arose in her heart.
This kind of shock cannot be exaggerated.
The sentence "Those who can practice the five elements in the world" come from "The Analects of Confucius·Zi Zhang Wenren"!
The original saying is that Zi Zhang asked Confucius about benevolence, and Confucius said: He who can practice the five things in the world is benevolent.
Zi Zhang asked again, and the Master said: Be respectful, tolerant, trustworthy, and wise...
And the appearance of the strange old man mentioned by Ling Du is exactly the same as that of Confucius recorded in history books!
Buddhism, Taoism, and now Confucianism are coming out again.
Well, both Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism are alive.
This world must have a great origin or mysterious connection with the earth world.
But, what happened?
Jiang Yao's vision of the world became increasingly unclear, and she always felt that it was full of fog.
"Those who can do the five things are the best in the world," Yu Kuan thought in his mind, but he was also confused.
What does it mean? Which five?
It's really baffling.
However, she did not think that the power of the strange old man to make people lose their minds and lose their cultivation came from evil and inner demons.
With her profound knowledge, she feels more like the power of wishes recorded in ancient books.
As for those who practice the wishing power technique, she only knows one: ginger medicine.
She secretly looked at Jiang Yao's expression and discovered that Jiang Yao's expression was not one of fear, but one of surprise and excitement.
Could it be...
Yu Yan, who was as smart as ice and snow, seemed to have guessed something and was thoughtful.
Jiang Yao was relieved now. He was sure that the strange old man who appeared at night was not an evil spirit or inner demon, but a manifestation of the power of his will.
Just like the phantom image of the Buddha statue appearing in the ruins of Fanshan Ancient Temple is a property.
It's just that the way the desire is manifested is different.
The secret to cracking the will power attack is to answer the question correctly.
The power of wish is very magical and mysterious. Jiang Yao still doesn't know what its essential principle is. But he no longer has any fear.
What people fear is actually the unknown.
Now that he understands what's going on, even if he still flinches.
However, Jiang Yao did not insist on entering the abandoned lord's mansion in public. He never kept a high profile when he should keep a low profile.
If I want to go, I will go secretly at night.
"Send the order and camp at the foot of the mountain." Jiang Yao ordered.
Ling Du hurriedly said: "Lord, I'm here for the first time, and the new cave has not been built yet, so why not go to Hanshe Cave to surrender for a while."
Jiang Yao shook his head, "No need, the military tent cave is also suitable for living, so I won't bother you."
Although Ling Du was a little fawning, he didn't dare to say more.
…
It's late at night, and the moon is like a hook.
Jiang Yao entrusted Yu Kuan to Feng Ke's care, and ignored Feng Ke's objections to explore the abandoned mansion alone at night.
With his current strength, plus the snake Ah Jiu, he would dare to fight even if Wu Zun is perfect.
After he left, Feng Ke immediately sent a military order to his cavalry, rushing into the abandoned mansion to rescue Jiang Yao at any time. Jiang Yao insisted on taking the risk alone, and he had no choice but to make a rescue plan.
When Jiang Yao arrived at the abandoned mansion, as soon as his consciousness was released, he could see the cave for several miles around at a glance. However, he saw the empty courtyard illuminated at night, everything was silent, and the vegetation was deep, filling him with a sense of desolation.
It makes people suddenly feel sad.
Jiang Yao walked alone among the weeds and buildings, rustling and swaying. This situation, that is, the martial arts, ordinary people are determined not to come.
Jiang Yao came to the atrium and vaguely saw the original splendor of this cave. However, after hundreds of years, it has long lost its former glory.
According to Ling Du and others, no one has lived in this lord's mansion for even a day since it was built.
Even when it was not yet deserted, it was deserted, cold and uninhabited.
The former lord, after building this gorgeous cave, encountered a strange old man on the night he took over. By the time he came out in a state of despair at dawn, Wu Zong's cultivation had been destroyed, he had become a cripple, and his spirit was not normal.
After he became a useless person, he was killed by his enemies and his bones were shattered into ashes.
It is said that when the cave was built, an ancient temple was excavated, along with decayed statues of gods and a plaque. On the plaque there was a large Chinese character and the Chinese character Cheng.
The lord at that time did not recognize the decaying statue of the god or what kind of temple it was, so he ordered the ruins of the ancient temple to be razed and a magnificent mansion built.
In order to complete the construction as soon as possible, he recruited tens of thousands of local slaves and worked day and night on the construction project. Thousands of people died of exhaustion and were killed.
Such a large mansion was built in just one month without any labor cost.
Unexpectedly, something happened on the first night after it was completed.
Just as Jiang Yao was thinking about these rumors, a creepy feeling suddenly came over him, making him want to desperately escape from here.
Even though Jiang Yao had the courage to explore the ancient tomb alone at night when he was on earth, and even though he had some confidence at this time, he still felt a kind of frightening fear at this time.
Jiang Yao is sure that this is what it feels like when a mortal encounters a ghost.
The boy with the snake staff broke out in a cold sweat instantly, and the hand holding the snake staff was dripping with sweat. Looking at the snake staff again, Ah Jiu was gone. And what he was holding was not a wooden staff, but a rotten bone.
Jiang Yao was very clear-headed at this time, and he knew that this was an illusion. But the problem was that he was not an ordinary martial master, and his soul state was already the pure soul state.
What kind of power can make him hallucinate? And make him feel terrible?
Jiang Yao regretted coming so rashly.
He felt that he was overconfident and wanted to be simple.
Just like my junior brother said, if you don’t fear ghosts and gods, senior brother, they will scare you one day.
Jiang Yao wanted to leave, but his legs wouldn't obey him at all. He tried to use the Wind Control Technique, but it was completely ineffective.
It seemed as if he was possessed by a demon.
"Lulu..." A sound of footsteps suddenly came from nearby.
The footsteps sounded very clear and felt very ethereal. Every step felt like stepping on Jiang Yao's heart, and every step felt like stepping on the void.
Suddenly it was out of reach, and suddenly it was so close.
It seems that the owner of the footsteps comes from another unknown world.
This is a suffocating, blood-curdling sound of footsteps. Just hearing this sound, you no longer have any thoughts of resistance, because your thoughts have been destroyed by fear.
Jiang Yao tried his best to use his soul power, but found that no matter how hard he tried, he could not get rid of this weird and weird feeling of fear.
However, the next moment, the footsteps suddenly...disappeared!
I don't know when it was, but a tall old man in green clothes appeared in front of me.
This old man is nine feet tall, has a protruding forehead, thick eyebrows and a long beard, green skin and parallel teeth, eyes like Fuxi, and an extremely ancient appearance.
Holding a bamboo slip in his hand, he sat leisurely in front of the steps, looking at Jiang Yao with a pair of eyes that were as empty as the sea, and seemed to be condensed, with an expression as pale as white clouds.
This is obviously just an illusion, but it gives people a sense of great awe.
Confucius!
Jiang Yao exclaimed in his heart.
He had never met Confucius in person, but based on his understanding of history, this shadow must be related to Confucius.
In fact, if Jiang Yao didn't have the confidence in his heart, he would have been horrified at this time.
Even though he knew it in his heart, he still felt inexplicably afraid.
He never thought that he would be frightened by the shadow of Confucius.
"Those who can do the five are in the world, and those who can do the five are in the world..." The strange old man opened and closed his wide mouth with parallel teeth, spitting out a sound that seemed real, illusory, and yet extremely clear.
boom!
Jiang Yao's spiritual platform seemed to be washed away by something. While the spiritual platform was empty, his heart ached again.
"He who can practice the five things in the world is benevolent!"
"Ren!"
"Ren!"
Jiang Yao guarded the mourning platform and said.
The strange old man's tall body suddenly stood up, his eyes seemed to have endless wonderful ideas, "What are the five, what are the five,"
"Gong Kuan Xin Min Hui...Gong Kuan Xin Min Hui..."
Jiang Yao shouted loudly, and his voice suddenly sounded loudly, like a bell playing like a bell.
boom!
The strange old man's body suddenly exploded, transforming into mysterious runes all over the sky. Between the light and shadow, a blank space appeared, and an invisible big pen fell down brilliantly, first with a stroke, then with a vertical stroke, then with a horizontal stroke, and then with a horizontal stroke!
!
Benevolence!
