Chapter 197: The most passionate thing, hold a sword to block it!
A group of locals were summoned, and then they directly used the method of moving mountains. Rather than fleeing from the ground, it was better to say that they directly moved Qi Wuhuo, Chu Hongtu, and the land they were on. Okay, this time the young Taoist looked at the scene of the escape from the ground with a more onlooker attitude.
The scenery I saw was extremely mysterious, the earth's veins were like qi machines, and they were heavy, brilliant and pure.
Chu Hongtu had clearly reached the end of his life and was plagued by big troubles, but it seemed that his nature was like this. Seeing him like this at this moment, he just widened his eyes and couldn't help laughing and exclaimed: "This is really amazing. The scenery, hahaha.”
The young Taoist raised his palms and let the little Yaoling lie on his palm. The little Yaoling stared at the scenery with wide eyes.
Qi Wuhuo was thoughtful.
The water veins flow through everything in the world, just like the mechanism of Qi.
And this precipitated earth vein is like [Qi] itself that has become purer and more vigorous after giving up its circulation.
The young Taoist did not need to cast spells at this moment. He stretched out his hand and touched this strand of earth veins. He felt the earth veins flowing between his fingers, and the Qi in his body also changed slightly. The internal organs that were originally depleted seemed to be faintly recovering. The young Taoist suddenly realized the trend——
Since "Yuan Shi Zu Qi", Beidi Qi Refining Jue and other methods can solve your own problems.
So if you have the earth veins with [good virtues] and see them as Qi, you may not be able to realize and repair the weakness and fundamental problems of the internal organs. While the young Taoist was thinking, a strand of earth veins fell into his body, and then he As if his own Qi circulated for a week, the wounds in his body actually felt slightly comfortable.
The young Taoist was delighted and subconsciously started to activate his earth energy even more.
In the past, he needed to control the innate energy to use the command of the earth to use such a method of escaping from the earth.
I need help from these land gods today.
I wish I had the thought and effort to try it.
Just when the young Taoist was thinking and trying, he suddenly heard a vaguely familiar voice: "Huh?" The young Taoist raised his eyes and looked slightly into the distance, but he only saw the earth's veins flowing, and there were wide-eyed people looking at him. Chu Hongtu, who was looking at this beautiful scene in the world, noticed something strange about the young Taoist and asked curiously: "Fellow Taoist, what's wrong?"
The young Taoist said: "Nothing..."
Then he asked, "Can you hear any noise?"
The Earth God laughed heartily and said: "Voice? The real person is joking. We are incarnations of the tangible and intangible, flowing with the help of the earth's veins. To a certain extent, this method of escaping from the earth is similar to the power of the altar, relying on the The power of the Empress Dowager, one of the four emperors."
"It's said to be earth veins, but it's actually like the Qi of Empress Houtu."
"Those of us have to rely on your mother's power every year. We never feel or hear anything."
"Besides, this place is so profound that it's indescribable. It's so far away from the world, it's almost like the netherworld."
"Under the earth, everything is silent. Even the sound of everything growing is inaudible."
The young Taoist smiled and did not continue to talk about this matter.
I just don’t know why, but I always felt that under the surprise, he made a sound, with a gentle tone but with some surprise and smile, as if to say, eh? So it’s you little guy again?
The young Taoist always felt that he had heard this voice somewhere, but it was very short. It was just a sound, and it seemed to have some special reasons. The soul was obscured, and it was really difficult to compare who said it. The young Taoist recalled the whole journey, I can't remember where I heard this sound.
I just wrote it down silently in my mind.
Many lands only correspond to the innate abilities of cultivators, but each has maintained a land career for hundreds of years in the mountains and rivers where it is located, and has seen many interesting things. Chatting along the way was quite interesting and did not feel boring. After half a day and more than ten thousand miles, they arrived at Hezhou. In an instant, they rose up and placed Qi Wuhuo and Chu Hongtu in front of the city.
After chatting several times, we just said goodbye, but we went to a place familiar to the locals to just chat and reminisce about old times.
The old man raised his hand and said with a smile: "Master, please don't thank me anymore. Your sword saved the common people. Although we can avoid disaster, we are still grateful for your kindness."
"A mere relocation is nothing more than a trivial matter."
"It's just that I can't stay in Hezhou for a long time. From now on, you may have to go on your own."
"There are already a lot of people working there."
"It should, it should."
The old man smiled and cupped his hands. The five-foot-tall old man held a crutch that was much taller than himself. He turned around and saw only smoke rising. In the blink of an eye, the old man had disappeared. He didn't know where to go. Wherever he went, the young Taoist turned around and saw the city behind him and Chu Hongtu in a blue shirt.
Seeing his eyes widened, looking at this city, the old man has turned gray-haired, and it has been at least hundreds of years since he left this city. The young man left home and the old man came back, and he was naturally sad and nostalgic. The young Taoist carried his harp on his back, and since the underworld After taking out the qin, the sword box and other items were stored in the jade pendant around his waist.
That jade pendant was refined by Ksitigarbha. According to legend, it can hold as much as a mountain if it contains mustard seeds.
Many treasures in the underworld are placed inside.
The young Taoist stood next to the old man and said, "Fellow Taoist Chu, let's go."
"Ah, um... ok."
Chu Hongtu looked at the city and suddenly said: "Fellow Taoist, do you have the documents to clear the customs?" The young Taoist shook his head. Chu Hongtu was about to say to use his magical power to enter, but he saw Qi Wuhuo walking towards the city gate, knowing that he There must be something to rely on, but he also looked away from the city gate, laughed a few times, and walked away.
"Is there any paperwork?"
Qi Wuhuo shook his head and took out something with his backhand, which was given to him by King Qin at that time.
The soldier was slightly startled and hurriedly called the city guard. After he came to check, he handed over the token and said, "It turns out to be the chief professor of Prince Qin's palace. Please come into the city." Prince Qin is the king of the county. The position of Chief Professor of the Royal Palace is a sinecure of the eighth rank, but if you are admitted to the first rank, you can also enter the city without having to hold documents at various customs.
Chu Hongtu smiled and said: "I never thought that Taoist friend still has a status in the world."
The young Taoist said: "Identity is just external."
"I am the Taoist, and I am also the so-called Master Professor."
"Practice me."
"Buddhism will ferry me over."
"That's all."
Chu Hongtu was slightly startled, as if he had thought of his own situation, and sighed with emotion for a long time, saying: "You are right, what you said is true..." He quickly recovered his emotions, pointed to the road ahead, and said: "Come on,
Fellow Taoist, this is your first time coming to Hezhou, hahaha, and I will lead the way for you."
"This main road goes straight through the entire city, and then branches off into branch roads on both sides."
"There used to be someone selling soy sauce beef here, and it tasted great. There used to be an old apricot tree there, and the apricot blossoms were beautiful in spring. The apricots they produced were not the soft and creamy ones like Zhongzhou, but crispy and sweet.
Sour, hahaha, just imagining it, it tastes in my mouth. It’s just a pity that winter has just passed and it will take some time for these flowers to bloom.”
"When I was young, I loved galloping here."
The young Taoist raised his eyes.
When you were young?
At the beginning, Chu Hongtu said that he was young and had a poor family and lived in a rural area.
Of course, it is also possible that his youth refers to the years after he has successfully learned martial arts.
Chu Hongtu was very happy and took Qi Wuhuo to visit the capital city of Hezhou. However, the soy sauce beef shop he mentioned was gone now and had become a shop selling pork. There was no place to drink, and there was only
Only the old tree is still there, but even though it is there, it is almost dead. The branches are growing and twisting like dragons all the way down.
Chu Hongtu was sitting by the window of a restaurant, with the knife in his palm on the table, and said loudly: "Seller, I want two kilograms of beef, a pot of wine, and a portion of Xiaoyao Zui, a bowl of clouds hitting the moon, and the popular fruits and vegetables.
Cut one or two plates and put them on the table." Although his appearance is quaint, his temperament is refined, and he is old and white-haired, his actions still have the temperament of a wanderer.
Immediately he turned the upside down tea cup over and poured tea, and said with a smile:
"Fellow Taoist, this happy drunkenness, the clouds hitting the moon, are rare delicacies here. You can't eat them again after leaving Hezhou."
"Xiaoyao Drunk requires good fish, which can only be cooked when drunk. The wild geese are used as ingredients when the clouds hit the moon. Rumor has it that the wild geese can fly into the clouds and catch the moon. It is extremely rare. Only Hezhou people like to eat it the most.
These foods have the original taste of the ingredients. They are cooked without adding too many heavy ingredients. They are just boiled and eaten with the ingredients. The taste is extraordinary. You will know when you taste it later."
"It's not difficult to make, but it takes a lot of effort to get it just right. It's even more difficult if you add this material."
"Only available here."
The shopkeeper came forward and said apologetically:
"This guest is an expert, but it's a pity that we can't cook these two dishes here."
Chu Hongtu was startled and said: "What? Even the first building in Hezhou Fucheng has declined?"
The old man was a little embarrassed, and said with cupped hands: "Well, sir, this does not mean that we are in decline. It is actually that you are a great glutton. This practice of leisurely drunkenness has been lost for almost three hundred years.
No matter how we recover, our descendants will never be able to recreate the taste of the past. As for Yun Zhuiyue..."
"The cloud-chasing wild goose has disappeared for a long time. It is said that there was a huge black turtle that ate an entire mountain with one mouth."
"The mountains are gone, and the cloud-chasing geese that rely on the mountains have slowly disappeared, and this dish has been lost for a long time."
The joy that appeared on Chu Hongtu's face gradually disappeared, and in the end, only sadness remained: "Is that so..." The shopkeeper apologized several times before leaving. Chu Hongtu held the tea cup, looking extremely sad, and said:
"The years pass by suddenly, and for me, three hundred years is a lifetime, but for ordinary people, it seems to be enough for a family to rise and fall, and a famous dish to be lost..."
"The so-called changes in the world, I was singing and singing all the way, but when I looked back, I found that the road I was traveling was full of unfamiliar scenery. They said that the world was unchanged, but how can it be unchanged... This city I miss is also
It is no longer the city in my memory. This Hezhou belongs to the people of this era, but where is the Hezhou that belongs to me?"
Chu Hongtu was disappointed.
Looking out from the height of the restaurant, he pointed to a lake not far away and said: "I still remember that originally this was a big family named Wu, and it was also a big family in the world. There were ten miles of pavilions and pavilions.
Back then, when I went out into the world for the first time, here I was competing in martial arts to recruit relatives. I was young and arrogant, so I set out here to compete in martial arts."
"My decisive sword skills are learned from the old apes in the mountains."
"I feel that I am invincible in the world."
"It just so happens that she is here too. She is also young, disguised as a man and traveling with an old man."
"It seemed that she was dissatisfied with me being in the limelight here, so she stood up with her sword and insisted on fighting with me. I was not her opponent back then. The guy's swordsmanship was raw. It seemed that he had never seen blood, but he still...
It was pure and sharp. I was beaten so hard that I lost my sword. I used a sword that was used on the battlefield. The blade cut open her hairpin, and the hair fell down, which was extremely beautiful."
"Hahaha, the eldest daughter of the Wu family was so angry back then. She obviously participated in a martial arts competition to recruit a bride, but the winner was a woman."
"After that we..."
Chu Hongtu was slightly startled, and finally realized that what he was talking about was not his own experience at all.
But all that, the scenes that happened are extremely familiar, as real as if they happened yesterday. He was unwilling to be suppressed by the swordsmanship, and there was also the scene where the girl's black hair was like a waterfall, and her eyes widened with a sword.
, the feeling of his heart almost stopping, and traveling around the world with the eldest daughter of the Wu family, it was so real that he almost shed tears.
It's like a big dream, but suddenly the fragments of the past are recalled.
"I, this, this is not my experience..."
"But why, why do I remember, why am I in so much pain?"
The young Taoist appeared behind Chu Hongtu in an instant, raised his hand to hold his shoulder, and suppressed it with his innate energy. It took Chu Hongtu a long time to recover, his eyes were slightly red, and he said: "Fellow Taoist, I, I want to
I want to go out of the city and see the place I want to go to the most..."
"Um."
By the time the store served the food, there was no one there, and there was only a little money left.
Qi Wuhuo was walking with Chu Hongtu at the moment. The latter seemed to have great experience and knowledge in the art of controlling the wind. He was almost as good as a real person in the art of controlling the wind. The young Taoist got some advice from him, so when he was controlling the wind
I became more calm, and finally no longer as rough as I was at Zhongzhou Lianyang Temple, but now as free as a sanliangfenfeng.
Along the way, we stood on the mountain and saw a quite prosperous town far down the mountain.
"This is it..."
"I don't know why, but among my memories that I don't know whether they are true or false, this is very clear."
Chu Hongtu murmured, the young Taoist was carrying the qin on his back, and following Chu Hongtu who was walking forward, even Yao Ling and the little peacock seemed to feel something at this moment, and became much quieter. The young Taoist's temples were gray, and he looked at
Chu Hongtu seemed to be walking in this town as if dreaming, and said: "Strange..., in my memory, this is just a village."
"Will it become such a big city in one or two hundred years?"
"Did something happen here in fellow Taoist memory?"
Chu Hongtu was quiet for a long time and said: "I remember that I traveled here with her, and the girl from the Wu family. At that time, we were chasing a demon who refined blood into magical powers. Later, we encountered disasters. Where?
The volcano erupted, and I was, I was..."
He held his forehead, feeling a dull throbbing pain.
The picture that came to mind was that he hugged the girl, knocked her unconscious, handed her to the eldest lady of the Wu family, and then asked her to return to the village immediately. It was best to take the people in the village quickly.
Transferred, the soft and graceful girl from the Wu family asked with tears in her eyes what she was going to do?
"I?"
"A true man only acts chivalrously and righteously."
In the memory, he laughed loudly, let go of his horse, then flew up, and rushed towards the volcanic lava with his sword. The long sword crossed the fence, and the blade was as sharp as snow. He chopped directly away, blazing flames, a life and death confrontation,
Chu Hongtu raised his hand to cover his forehead, which twitched slightly. In his memory, he fought the devil to death, but the volcano could not stop him.
So he chose to destroy his Taoist foundation and cut off a knife for the common people.
That was the strongest and most brilliant sword strike of myself who had already proven herself to be a real person.
The blade directly blocked the terrifying lava.
The memory images rushed like a torrent, Chu Hongtu murmured:
"I, I...I can't remember, I seem to have stopped the volcanic disaster here?"
There was an old man nearby who was curious when he saw outsiders coming here, but he burst into laughter when he heard this and said: "Hey? Brother, have you read too much, got hysteria, or are you having big dreams? Although we say that there are
There is such a legend, but that was already eight or nine hundred years ago."
"We built a monument for the heroes of that year."
"monument?"
"Yes, it's right there."
Following the direction pointed by the old man, he saw a stone tablet. Chu Hongtu staggered over and reached out to touch the inscriptions. The passage of time had made these words blurry, but they were still roughly legible - [There are disasters from time to time.
The sky and the earth changed greatly, spitting fire like flowing light, a hero pressed his sword, and with the power of one man, Henglan in front of the mountain, searched the mountain and saw that he was already on the verge of death, so every time there is a disaster, a hero should be outstanding]
[He is from Hezhou Fucheng. He said that he was unruly when he was young. He rode his horse on the road. He once joined the army and was worshiped as a riding captain.]
[Later I met Taoist companions, traveled around the world, and acted chivalrously and righteously]
Chu Hongtu's eyes turned red unconsciously, and tears streamed down his face.
In the memory, I flicked the knife with my fingers, wore bright clothes and angered the horse, and laughed loudly:
"The world's turmoil comes from my generation, and the time comes when I enter the world."
“While chatting and laughing about our great ambitions and hegemony, we can’t beat the drunkenness of life.”
I brushed my fingers and saw the last words on the stone tablet, its name, Chu Hongtu.
Wife·Miao.
With the exact same name, Chu Hongtu felt as if he was struck by thunder. He did not speak for a long time and burst into tears before he realized it.
The young Taoist said: "Do you remember?" Chu Hongtu shook his head and murmured: "That's me, that's what I experienced... But I only remember those things, is that really me? If it is me, why am I
I still can’t remember why my heart hurts like a knife if it weren’t for me.”
His eyes turned red, and the young Taoist remained silent for a long time before saying, "I may have a way, but there will be a price to pay."
The young Taoist opened his fingers slightly, and a dark-colored grass appeared in the palm of his hand, exuding a faint aura. He then took out another cup with transparent water in it. The young man with white temples said: "This is the heartbroken grass.
, after taking it, you can recall all the past events, but the price is that you will only have three days left in your life."
"And this...is the water of forgetfulness."
"Take it. The amount will not make you forget everything, but it will be enough to make you forget the memories that make you doubt yourself. Forget these things and regain your calm. Or, you can do neither and still maintain the status quo." The young Taoist said.
Withdraw his right hand and let these two treasures float in the void. The Three Life Stones need to have an effect on the soul, which is what the deceased went to the Naihe Bridge to see.
Chu Hongtu murmured: "I, I choose..."
The young Taoist suddenly felt the stagnation in the void. Having experienced it, he already knew that this was Senior Sister Yumiao's unique method. With a clear mind, he tapped the sword with his right hand and without hesitation, he violently blocked it. His strength was far inferior.
Yu Yumiao, but he predicted what the unbalanced senior sister would do at this moment.
The bright and clear sword light approaches.
The moves are mysterious and boundless.
The young Taoist predicted in advance that the sword in his palm blocked him with the same sword move, but seemed to be more subtle.
The magnificent sword light, even if it was just intended to capture the young Taoist, even if it took into account the ordinary people around and restrained most of its power, it would not be a power that Qi Wuhuo could stop, but the sword light came into contact with the scabbard.
The faint stream of light suddenly dissipated most of its strength——
The Tianhe River is weak, so the immortals and gods cannot walk around, and the flying feathers cannot cross it.
Amidst the crashing sound, the young Taoist stepped on the Bagua Xingshi, his body deflected to release the force, his sleeves and robes swayed like water clouds, and the scabbard collapsed at the next moment, but it was not annihilated, but turned into a running underworld. The underworld was cold, walking on ten
The eight layers of netherworld contained the obsessions of the common people, so the immortal sword intention carried by the sword light was swallowed up by the underworld.
The Yellow Spring is running, the water is hanging in the void, cold.
The young Taoist priest's robes were billowing and flying.
Huang Quan hovered around the young man, and the water cloud pattern surrounding his sleeves and robes was as clear as real. He turned with the trend, and the blood sword was released. With pure exquisiteness of sword moves, the young Taoist who received the guidance of Dao Lord forcibly struck the Earth Immortal with a sword.
After breaking, the blood sword pressed an ordinary sword against the ground, while the underworld water swirled around the body, only to fall on the sword again in an instant, turning into a scabbard.
With one sword and one block, in just a blink of an eye, the rabbit rises and the falcon falls.
Yu Miao has appeared.
The young Taoist looked at the girl with reddish eyes in front of him and still held down his sword.
Originally he was here to repay karma, but he never thought that he would stand in front of his senior sister.
"division……"
The young Taoist paused slightly and said, "Fellow Taoist, please watch his choice this time."
Yu Miao held her sword and said: "Since you follow the Taoist's idea of doing nothing, why did you stop me?"
The young Taoist said: "Do nothing to comply with the wishes of the people."
"But there's nothing I can't do."
"Do anything to protect the common people."
"Doing nothing without doing anything is basically a cycle of thoughts. You cannot rely on your strength to put your own will over the common people. Everything follows the thoughts of living beings and moves according to their original thoughts. This is inaction; but if you encounter injustice, do not do anything.
If you draw your sword based on your own desires, you can do anything."
"It is up to him to decide how to choose, fellow Taoist."
Two Taoists from the same sect looked at each other, and the young Taoist blocked Yu Miao's sword with the sword in his palm.
Behind him, Chu Hongtu glanced at Yu Miao, as determined as before.
