Coming down from Jiajin Mountain, looking at the villages in the basin in the distance, Dongfang Li said: "That should be the Xiaojinchuan front village, right?"
Zhao Ran nodded: "It should be. Brother Li, do you want to take a look?"
Dongfang Li shook his head: "When it is merged into our Ming Dynasty, I will go and see it."
That night, the two of them took advantage of the darkness to cross Xiaojinchuan. Xiaojinchuan was about three to forty feet wide. The water was not deep and could only submerge Zhao Ran's chest. But since they were monks, how could they really cross the river?
Cultivation has really gone down to the dog.
The two of them rode the waves one after another. Zhao Ran thought to himself, if I go to the sea, how long will I be able to hold on? I will definitely give it a try when the time comes!
After crossing the other side of the river, Zhao Ran's trousers were completely wet. In fact, when he was walking on the waves, his entire ankle was submerged in the water. Jinchuan water melted from the top of the snow-capped mountains. It was bone-chilling in early spring. Zhao Ran's skills were running, and he was immediately
The feet are steamed dry.
Looking at Dongfang Li again, except for some water stains on the soles of the shoes, the feet were not even wet at all. The difference between them was only an ankle, but there were three levels of difference in cultivation!
They continued to search Erlang Mountain, and this time they finally found a clue. Halfway down the mountainside, the two found a large pit. In the pit, thirteen corpses were stacked in various directions, each of them burned until only half of their body was left.
The face was also charred and completely unrecognizable. Judging from the remaining pieces of clothing and silk on the corpse, one of them was a Taoist priest and the other twelve were in Ming army uniforms.
"This should be the earliest missing patrol sergeant at Diaomen Pass. This fellow Taoist is a monk accompanying the team. Unexpectedly, he didn't even send out the warning flying talisman."
Dongfang Li nodded and played a defensive talisman, but there was no difference at all, so he said: "After a long time, the magic power has dissipated and cannot be found. This big hole may have been dug by Lao Xing and others, and they want to clear it first.
Here..."
Zhao Ran issued a talisman to Cheng Zhicheng at Diaomen Pass, told him the location, and asked him to send people to move the bodies of the dead soldiers back. At the same time, he asked him if Master Xing had woken up. Cheng Zhicheng replied that he would immediately
He sent someone to come, but told Zhao Ran that Master Xing was still unconscious.
The two looked around and soon found new clues. Dongfang Li followed the clues and entered the dense forest. Zhao Ran followed closely behind him, letting Dongfang Li lead the way.
At the beginning, Dongfang Li occasionally used his Taoist Talisman to investigate, and then the two of them started walking faster and faster, as fast as galloping horses.
When they arrived at a deep valley, they stopped and Dongfang Li made a gesture. Zhao Ran opened his eyes and looked at the depression in front of him. After inspecting for a moment, he indicated that there was no abnormality in the energy of heaven and earth. So the two of them came to the side of the depression.
All I saw was a mess, with broken trees, charred soil, blood-stained stones, and large and small potholes. It was clear at a glance that there had been fierce battles.
Dongfang Li once again cast the Taoist Talisman. After many days, the remaining Taoist traces of the battle had faded. It was only after careful identification that he could vaguely understand it.
After a moment of silence, Dongfang Li said: "There are seven or eight Taoist techniques. It seems that this is the place where Master Xing and others will fight against Buddhist masters. Zhiran, let's look carefully."
Zhao Ran agreed and slowly began to search with Dongfang Li. Soon, the two found a group of black corpses under a cliff. The head, body, and limbs were all burned into a ball.
, it was impossible to tell who was who, which made Zhao Ran feel sick to his stomach.
A rough count showed that there were six corpses in this group of fused corpses, including Master Xing who fled back. They happened to be the team of monks who set out from Diaomen Pass that day.
Dongfang Li stood under a cliff and called to Zhao Ran: "Zhiran, look at this cliff."
Zhao Ran walked over to identify: "These black spots seem to be stars?"
Dongfang Li nodded: "Yes, Tianxing Dou Shu... This is the technique of Luoxiao Pavilion in Wumeng Mansion. It should be Master Zhou's..."
After a while, Zhao Ran pried out a sword head that was about an inch long from the soil: "Senior Brother Li, here is a piece of iron from a flying sword. Hmm? There is a word on it... Hanguang?"
Dongfang Li said: "...This is the Cold Light Sword, a monk from the Tianpeng Pavilion of Zhenxiong Mansion...I don't know which fellow Taoist it is. I will check the directory after I return to Diaomen Pass."
Zhao Ran came under a rock and saw that the rock had deformed, as if it had been melted by the flames and then re-condensed into shape.
"Senior Brother Li, this stone, huh? Isn't it a stone?"
Dongfang Li came over quickly and hooked his fingers deeply into it. After he pulled it out, there was a hint of black golden powder on his fingers.
"This is Wujin Iron. Master Xing's natal magic weapon is Wujin Spiritual Light Seal."
Zhao Ran was stunned for a moment: "Then, Master Xing's magical weapon was destroyed, wouldn't it mean..."
Dongfang Li sighed and nodded.
After cultivating to the realm of the Great Mage, the natal consciousness evolves. The natal consciousness needs to find something to rest on, and it is placed on the golden elixir. It is the Quanzhen path, and it is placed on external objects such as talismans or magic weapons.
Just the right way.
Master Xing places his destiny on the Wujin Spiritual Light Seal, which is his destiny magic weapon. The destiny magic weapon is extremely powerful, but it is also very dangerous when used, so generally speaking, monks will use it with caution when fighting. Now Wujin
When the spiritual light seal is destroyed, Master Xing's natal consciousness will disappear, and his realm will inevitably fall. He needs to start practicing from the golden elixir again, and after evolving a new natal consciousness, he will rely on external objects again.
The encounter of Master Xing made the two of them feel a little bit sad, but then they thought that although Master Xing had lost his realm, he at least had a chance to start over, while the others had died and disappeared. Where could there be anything else?
Chance?
Dongfang Li put Master Xing's black gold iron into the storage artifact, and the two continued to search.
"...This is the lotus leaf qi transformation technique of the Jin family in Wumeng Mansion..."
"...The third-level talisman, the golden armor, and the golden soldier talisman, I don't know which Taoist friend it belongs to..."
"...There are arrows here..."
After the inspection was completed and no new traces were found, Zhao Ran realized a problem: "Brother Li, why are all the Taoist magical powers of our Taoist monks, but no Buddhist skills?"
Dongfang Li said: "Have you ever heard of Maha Gong?"
"Maha Gong? Never heard of it..."
"This is the second level of Dharma-Phase Kung Fu, which breaks away the attachment to the reality of all dharmas, and is consistent with the meaning that all dharmas are empty. This technique is formless and has no reality. It appears to be true, but in reality it is empty. The technique has no source. Get rid of it.
It’s traceless and can’t be found using the Dao Guard Talisman.”
Zhao Ran felt a chill running down his back when he heard this: "You mean, you don't even know you were attacked by someone?"
Dongfang Li said: "It's not that I don't know, but by the time you know it, it's usually too late."
"This...Senior Brother Li, how should you deal with a Buddhist monk who practices Maha Kung Fu?"
Dongfang Li said: "There are two ways. One is to wear protective magic weapons and cover the whole body tightly so as not to give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of it. At the same time, one must attack the enemy continuously so as not to give the enemy a chance to attack. The other is,
It takes talent.”
Zhao Ran thought about it and said, "Senior Brother Li is talking about my innate supernatural power that opens my eyes?"
Dongfang Li nodded and said: "That's right. Maha Gong is indeed invisible and invisible to the naked eye and cannot be detected by the senses. However, any Kung Fu method will interact with the qi of heaven and earth and affect the natural rhythm of qi of heaven and earth.
, as long as you open your heavenly eyes and observe the changes in the qi of heaven and earth, you can perceive the signs of Maha Gong."
